kaiden!!! exactly a year ago i was failing 7s and 8s, able to play this game on consecutive days for the first time ever... when i learned what kaiden was i figured itd take 5 or so years to reach, but i was able to get so hooked on the game it felt like no time at all. awesome!

皆伝！！取れた！！！
ウイニングラン入った瞬間も「えっ…ステップアップとかじゃないよね？ね？」って思いながら完走して実感わかなかった
でも帰ったらじわじわに来るんだろうな
とりあえずOK！なんかほっとしたなー

chuuden!!

[omphen @mztii0]

今度こそ中伝取ってやるという気持ちで受けてみたらなんとギリギリ合格しました‼️

なんかわけわからん押し方しててこれで合格しちゃっていいのかわかんないけどとりあえず地力上げに集中して頑張ります！リアルでも頑張ります！！()

i’m a 9th danner! (i was too loud last time)

[omphen @mztii0]

.@_azumin2 と共に九段受けました🥹

本当にいけると思わなくて、受けた後は例によって叫んではいたけど実感がまだ沸いてないというか、満足のあるクリアじゃないというかなんなのかね

でも九段は九段です！うん！嬉しい！！

i have been hooked on IIDX the last month and am scoreposting / outputting on @mztii0 (last time i sounded like an insane person and almost everything i wrote was unintelligible so i deleted the account)

[ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ @omphen]

not exactly the score i was hoping for (consistently mocked in the 130s, nose bled like crazy mid reading section) but i am now a certified N1 passer :D

[ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ @omphen]

the road to fluency only begins here, but here's to a 2023 where i actually followed through on my new years resolution, and here's to a fun and productive 2024.

really insane year for japanese, i couldn't be happier about what i've accomplished. long story short, i immersed for a conservatively estimated 1536 hours (46 books, 363 anime episodes, and a TON of youtube and podcasts), and i did 122,812 anki reviews for ~225 hours. (cont)

[ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ @omphen]

this all culminated in me taking the JLPT N1 this past december (which i think i comfortably passed), and though that's more of a resume filler than a milestone for me now i'm still very proud of that. more than anything, i'm glad i was able to spend the year doing what i love.

writing ~255 characters that can pass as native sounding is also a good goal for me to have
