i might write more about it sometime but idk. i probably need to stay off of neocities for a while, make art, work on myself, and stop going Neurotic Mode tho. something about screaming god is dead at the top of your lungs clears your head, probably

sorry for absolute feed spam, but just curious - if you keep up with my site, is there anything in particular (e.g. writings, art, reviews ...) that draws you in the most? (this won't affect what i put on my site whatsoever, by the way)

For me it's definitely reviews, I really like how you write and talk about the books + snip the excerpts for us to see. Though your recitation of La Scapigliata left my jaw slacked and really drew me in

i'm a text-heavy person, so if there's an article, blog post, or review that interests me, i tend to go for those first (on another note, i appreciate your reading analyses of the books you've read and will probably be adding some of them to my reading list)

writing out some chinese characters for my mahjong page background had me thinking about how u can tell who actually speaks the language by what their handwriting looks like

then it got me wondering about how it works in russian, which i've learned a little about before. i know people practically never write in block letters (i.e. the way cyrillic is displayed on a computer) but how people even read russian cursive is a mystery to me

another interesting detail is that i've hardly written in chinese by hand since the pandemic. anyone else have a similar experience? idk, just wondering

russian cursive is just like english cursive :p some letters are different but the differences are consistent. for written japanese i know people often “smear”/abbreviate strokes so that some characters are only readable via stroke order and the general contour of the kanji/kana

for written korean the stroke order must also be correct for handwriting to look natural. particularly in stylised handwriting, whether cutesy gel pen or archaic ink brush. i never noticed it before, but handwritten english seems much more lenient on stroke order…

@iwillneverbehappy i guess it makes sense it's similar to english cursive, i think i've just been spooked by seeing terrifying images like this: https://files.catbox.moe/c8uwkb.webp lol. also huh til that japanese cursive is seriously condensed: https://files.catbox.moe/u76ydp.webp. i've only ever seen anything like this in some very flowy styles of chinese calligraphy

it's interesting that you point out stroke order influences how characters look because now that i think about it you're absolutely right. i guess i hadn't considered it before because i've always just written (chinese) characters based on vibes, so generally left-right, top-bottom. (is my handwriting secretly shit?) i can see how writing strokes randomly would result in wonky ill-proportioned characters though

the unreadable russian cursive is kind of a meme (equivalent of writing “minimum” in english cursive, sort of a worst-case scenario). top-down and left-right heuristic for chinese characters is a thing + correct me if i’m wrong, but once you learn the stroke order of a radical, that ordering will be correct for every instance of the radical in other characters, right?

I've had conversations about this describing the difference as between writing and drawing letters/characters (literacy in the latin alphabet comes up at my job fairly often). People will start a letter in insane places if never formally taught. I love it.

Very obvious when people are drawing the picture of a word instead of writing it out once you know to look for it.

@manulzone “drawing a picture of a word” is such a good way of phrasing it

projectc190 2 months ago

@iwillneverbehappy that seems a lot more realistic lol. and about the radicals: i think so? that's how i've always taken it, anyway. though i studied the language from the same textbooks as kids in china when i was a kid i've hardly formally learned stroke order, it was always just heuristics.. or maybe i just zoned out, who knows

projectc190 2 months ago

@manulzone i second visualculture, drawing a character vs writing it is exactly what i was getting at!

i have no idea when it went up but your notebook entry about mahjong soul is so spot on lmao. it took me a long time to get into the game ngl; i started by miserably losing in ranked, came back to it a year later and basic defense strategy finally clicked after playing on and off for a couple months

not sure if other webmasters have this experience, but often when i reread things i previously wrote on my site i find it stiff and awkward and i revise it. ironically this means writing more means i sound more natural and then have a larger backlog of prior stiffness to rework. or maybe it's all in my head and i am insane

big changes to the projects page, most notably the trees article i've been mentioning for months! it's pretty much there, so i figured there's no point in continuing to nitpick and decided to release it. i'm still gladly accepting feedback, though.

ok i feel stupid for not seeing this before but your nin page is so good; ppl who can appreciate tds are real ones i love it. btw, i used to listen to phm every day in order like a lunatic for weeks on end so hearing "purest feeling" for the first time is seriously a trip. its still definitely very charming though lol, like if phm had a distinctly 80s vibe. are u planning to see nin on tour by any chance?
