"Good late afternoon, young miss RadFem! How are you today? Do you want to buy any new anime at the moment?"

I looked up möchten but understood the rest without googling (I think) :)

The answer is something like "Ja, natürlich! Aber ich spare gerade Geld." The second sentence was totally copied off Google translate though so can't vouch for accuracy, I did find this interesting page of contexted examples: I'm saving money - Translation into German - examples English | Reverso Context

I also dig this list of words for feelings (I don't mind putting in the work on Duolingo to learn the other word categories but I don't really connect with a language unless I can talk about my emotions and desires using it): How To Talk About Feelings In German

Edit: Oh and the answer to the first part is "Sehr gut, danke!" :)
 
I had to look up kaufen for "buy," couldn't remember that one - and wasn't sure of the gender for anime for using ein, lol. I would have never learned the latter in high school, because I didn't really know what anime was back then, even though I had watched Speed Racer and AstroBoy and such on TV way back in the 1960's.
 
I've made many legit attempts at learning Japanese but my ADD basically stops me from being able to knuckle down and focus.

I have basically memorized Hiragana and I'm fairly decent at Katakana. I know a few Kanji and I'm learning new words all all the time still. Problem is it's so fragmented, and having very little practice in practical uses I couldn't really hold a conversation.

I have ADHD too! Have you seen that AMV Hell with mostly clips from Bottle Fairy where at the end it shows the robot maid girl from Mahoromatic and mistranslates what she's saying as "I think hell is bad! It gives you ADHD! pauses oh look an ice cream truck" XP

I'm proud of you for what you have managed to accomplish! :) I know a little bit of Japanese from watching so much subbed anime over the years but much of what I used to know I have forgotten now 😅

***king Zavvi customer service not reading tickets.

Still waiting for the refund on The Witch I sent back, I had confirmation it was recieved by them but nothing since. So sent follow up asking for an update and got a generric response apologising that "the item hasn't been sent yet." Sent a far less polite response telling them to read the ****ing ticket.

I thought my PS5 controller was broken as the buttons weren't working. Just realised I had been playing my Nintendo Switch for so longer that I was pressing the wrong buttons.

Haha...oops 🤣

I mostly use my PS3 as an extra blu-ray player and I too have gotten mixed up between the controller and my other remotes XP :)
 
when it comes to vinyl releases in boxes are they all generally the same size? i have a vinyl with a cd/dvd-audio included coming and i want to put it in something that will protect it from being squashed in storage mainly cause i only bought it for the dvd as it was the only way to get it

not looking for something flimsy like the steelbook central protective cases more like those hard plastic cases you see from those scam videogame condition companies
 
I see that our new prime minister started as a Lib Dem in university before switching to the Tories. So, on the remote chance that she sees this message:

Longing, rusted, furnace, daybreak, seventeen, benign, nine, homecoming, one, freight car.

I mean, she’s a duplicitous flip-flopper constantly having to justify her support of a ruthless toff-run Tory government while at the same time trying to distance herself from them, are we sure she isn’t still a Lib Dem?
