Great episode, it was great to hear what everyone has been up to. I loved hearing everyone's thoughts on listening since for the most part it was very different than what I've done haha. Started my immersion journey watching anime raw, and did basically no reading for the first 6-9 months besides within anki. Then I also watched a ton of variety shows and youtube, which dont have subs but just テロップ, which does help but my reading was so far behind that I mostly ignored them at the time haha. And now I'm playing catch up with my reading since I have definitely spent at least 5x more time on listening than reading. Like in 2021 + early 2022 back when I tracked everything, I got about 1150h of listening for 550h of reading, and that was the first year that I actually actively tried to read more; yet despite that I had over twice the amount of listening haha. I agree with what I think Io said; at some point it's just easier to do a lot of listening vs reading since reading is more physically exhausting. Didn't mean to write such a long comment but in typical AJATTer fashion I rambled on haha. All that to say, it was awesome to hear this group discussion!
THE discord mod of the Deep Weeb Lounge. only member to receive a round of applause. And yeah, I invited mally late so that was my fault, I'll update it asap
not sure if it was a wifi or some other portable podcast setup issue. when i get back to the states by end of January I'll see if the recording was better than the live stream and see if we cant correct the little cut pieces. Hope people can still enjoy it despite the issues
