Oh boy is that an extremely powerful and versatile rabbit hole!

No worries, seen as you said the EU version worked fine I thought it would be worth a quick search :)
This site regarding censorship says that the EU and US versions are both uncensored, I could only find info saying that the Japanese, Saudi Arabian and UAE versions were censored.
Are you sure the EU version is censored?
Yeh definitely not then, this Polaris is fairly heavy with both clean and screamy vocals, good riffs, makes you wanna stomp.
All their albums from that kind of era are pretty great!
I have no idea as I dont know the show or that song. They are metalcore though so if hey sandy is a metalcore song then maybe?
That fatalism album is the first stuff I have heard from them :)
I’ve now moved onto the masterpiece that is Untrue by Burial though :D
Right now? Doppelganger by The Fall of Troy
Fatalism by Polaris has been on heavy rotation recently though.
Wow. I didn’t have time to look when I was replying but that shocks me. They have had everything ive ever looked for!
Myanonamouse probably has it but you’d need to apply to get access as it is a private tracker.
Keytwo is my all time favourite phone, ive not found something that is as good as it was, so I’d be interested in if you have any success with this.
Others phones with keyboard you could look into are Unihertz titan and titan slim. I owned a titan and it was a pretty good phone although somewhat large, I know there is a small community of people doing things with it but I could never get my bootloader to unlock.
The titan slim is a copy of the keytwo form factor and I have been very tempted but never got around to trying one out.
Fx tec pro also exists but they seem over priced and out dated, not sure on how receptive they are to new ROMs or if there is even a community behind this one.
I’m going to be watching This project going forward and if it seems decent may try switching to using a data sim in a hotspot box in my bag and just use this as a primary device.
DODI repacks 4 lyf
AirVPN is great and has port forwarding.
I think it is you who needs to learn that in the UK we also use English and it is spelt learnt. Gilipolla
I have heard of Chicken Little, is it an animated film or something? Anyway no, it is from the intro of Power Stone on the Dreamcast.
Easy or not that doesnt excuse Duolingos lack of explanation of any rules or concepts present within the language you choose to learn.
I am admittedly salty about my own experience with it which definitely skews me towards the negative view of it, I just dont like to see people jumping on that app and thinking that that alone will see them through learning a language.
I do see your points of using it as a supplement to learning through other methods but also due to the fact that it taught me a few different things that were flat out wrong I just think that there are better supplementary learning resources.
Also personally I really struggle with languages and wasting so much time on that app really destroyed my motivation for learning the language in general and as such my initial momentum has gone and I haven’t really progressed at all recently. Engagement is important like you say and I dont think the streaks are a bad idea but the way they implement them is insidious in that it is all tailored to keep you in app and hopefully paying them IMO.
My initial message was more in disgust of the app as a whole, I wouldn’t go as far as to say I expressed hate otherwise I’d have used much stronger language but again everyone’s opinion on that line will be different. I just dont think it is good at all and if I can dissuade people from using it then I will. Maybe I should have put the alternatives I mentioned in the first comment to balance out the message but it is too late now :D
I kind of see what you mean but for me I really liked it as I am not very good at languages at all, maths and science makes more sense to my brain.
I appreciated that they went through and made links with the English language based on the common root that they shared be it Latin or whatever. For me this helped me a lot to understand what was going on in the background of the language and how I could relate it to what I already know.
Everyone learns differently and so will find different methods effecrive. Duolingo was a lot better when it first came about but now it is all about getting people trapped in a loop of feeling like they are learning something when they aren’t so they can maintain subscribers.
Except for the fact that it is designed to keep you coming back and hopefully paying them for the privaledge whilst making people believe they are learning something useful.
It is in fact counter productive to actually learning a language properly. I used it for a year and a half trying to learn Spanish and in that time I never really learnt anything of worth. On top of that my native Spanish speaking girlfriend told me on numerous occasions that the things it was “teaching” me were flat out incorrect.
I learnt more useful language skills in a month on Busuu than I did in a year and a half using Duolingo. So yes there is a lot of hate because it wasted a lot of my time for absolutely zero benefit and in some cases taught me the wrong things so I had to go back and “unlearn” all the bullshit it constantly pushed to me.
It isn’t a tool to bridge a gap, it is a word game designed to get you addicted to “streaks” and then hopefully remove money from your wallet under the guise of teaching you something.
People that seriously want to learn a language should be dissuaded from using this trash app as it is only counter productive to the learning process, they should instead check out Busuu or listen to Language Transfer which is free and vastly superior!
Touchdesigner as someone else mentioned will require a lot of work on your end but you can make pretty much anything you could think of really.
You could also try Synesthesia or there is a free visualiser on steam. If you want to go more down the VDJ route there are more specific programs that can do that but that can also be done from within touch designer. Resolume is one of the most popular ones and this guy is great to watch to get started.
