My aim was never to emulate but to play. Blur filters are something that I won't be using.

True. I kinda took OP as someone who has studied for some time already but yeah it very much depends on the level of the said learner.

Also, this may be me yelling at kids to get off my lawn, but I think creating your own flashcards is preferable to premade ones for the immediate effect on your memory.

NEVER! You can't make me put in the effort! /s Seriously though I pretty much needed the ready made solutions to get pushed over the edge and I totally get why people might want that. Making your own cards is most likely much better option but that would've taken effort that I couldn't spare myself when I started.

Just don’t try to memorise individual kanji with no context.

This is good advice but I wouldn't learn individual words on their own since learning the words in context should be more effective. Even better if the context sentence is meaningful to the learner somehow.

This also requires work and isn't just an app you can just download.

Sounds like Wanikani. The first 3 levels are free but later 57 are not. I'd recommend getting the feel for them and then deciding if you are willing to pay for the 1-3+ year journey that's ahead of you since they have the lifetime sale in December.

I'd also recommend learning at least the first 100 常用(じょうよう) kanji on Ringotan (free). You will probably forget how to write them but it will make you understand them better.

Flaming Durtles.

That's the old version that's no longer maintained and broke somewhat when kana-only stuff was released. Smouldering Durtles is the new app.

Are books out of the question? I feel like those would be the thing to read when you want to read. What kind of stuff are you interested in?

Well the joy-cons kinda do that but if you wanted something that's actually adult sized you'd have to check 3rd party options and there's probably no guarantee that it will work on anything other than the Switch.

Do you mean like they are on the home page?

Like a sim game or Planet Sweeper?

This is probably second or third time they mention it in patch notes despite it not being released on stable yet. Or at least I think it's unreleased. Anyone on stable?

OTXO just might have been better than Hotline Miami if it was actually released in 2012. My personal gripe with it is how using a mouse at 60fps in [current year] just feels awful.

I would say that it's offensive to put Early Access games on those lists. It clouds people's judgment as they are valued with different standards and are expected to get better (especially if more people support the game). Any game that's not fully released is a 0/10 in my book even if they were my favorite games.
