This long-form explanation on why you didn’t see MJ23 in any video games from the mid-90s until the early Teens with the release of NBA2K11.
(I can’t embed because there’s some sort of universal block on viewing YouTubes outside the website.)
That video is definitely worth your time if you have 4 to 5 minutes to spare.
It’s not easy. And so much for being a learning app. It’s a gaming app too.
By the way, I had to spend close to 3000 DuoLingo gems today in order to get back into the top 10. I was about 1,500 points behind 10th place this morning.
If you could instantly master any skill, what would it be and why?
Sales. It would have to be sales, 100%.
(more…)Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?
I write and speak English but I have an affinity for learning other languages. I realized this when I took Latin for the first time high school. Learning other languages helped me see the nuances and relationships between the different elements of the English language.
English can be imprecise at times. However, you can express yourself clearly if you are open to becoming a wordsmith.
Also, I’m taking several Duolingo courses excluding chess. Ive been doing Spanish and Russian for a while. (About 10 or so years ago I actually finished the Spanish course and became disinterested in Duolingo for several years.) Recently, I started the Chinese course.
As an aside, I’ve become impressed with the quality of product that Duolingo has produced over the past few years, including chess. It has replaced my old chess trainer app (that I paid for).
Languages are the currency of expression. Thankfully it has helped me to become more clear in my thinking. And as much I tend to bottle things in it helps to have some sort of precision of thought.
What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?
Whatever you’re doing, make sure you’re doing to please and honor the Lord. And give it full effort. Don’t stop until you’re led to do something else.
Kept it simple in less than 50 words.
What’s a book, movie, or TV show that you wish you could experience again for the first time?
I would say that Ted Lasso is one of those good TV shows that has a wholesome lead character in which the story line is focused on of my favorite sports, soccer. Would watch it over and over again.
They’re making a fourth season but they do not need to do it. The endings for a lot of the characters were wrapped in nice packages. I like shows that put the characters in better positions at the end of show than before.
It’s the longest day of the year and all other days get shorter after that until the winter solstice.
