TIL: Influent 420 Words (That’s a wrap for now!)

Scratch one item off that perpetual to-do list! I’ve now “mastered” all of the 420 non-kanji words in Influent. Mastering really is their word, not mine. It means that I have successfully identified the words by selecting the object associated with them three consecutive times when presented with 10 different options to choose from. It doesn’t mean I have the ability to look at a given object and recall the Japanese word for it.

So I’ll probably continue to open it up now and then as a refresher to try and maintain and better cement the known vocabulary, but for the time being I get to move it off of my “to-do list”. At some point before the year is over, I’ll need to revisit it so that I can learn the kanji associated with the various words. I’d be surprised if there’s a lot given how many words used katakana.

So with that, I’m done playing my 2nd game of the year.

BUT WAIT

I also ended up playing some Rocket League… which is pretty fun! I even played through campaign… meaning that’s now my 3rd game of the year down. That leaves only 112 in my (pc) gaming back log!
