the dream

[icy rune]

[strong flicker]

I feel you there

Ive been for around 1 year trying to save for a desk and a chair, but things always happen

the dinning room table will do meanwhile

[icy rune]

get those free ones that people give away when they move

[strong flicker]

Theres no such things in here

[icy rune]

[strong flicker]

People do sell stuff cheaply when they are moving, but need to save for a minor surgery in case free health care doesnt want to cover it

:DeadEssex:

[strong flicker]

[gilded rain]

[strong flicker]

About to travel for my vacations, and had to eat the leftovers in my fridge

6 egg omelette with extra cheese, ham and avocado, and like 200 ml of sauce

reduced my lifespan by a couple of years

[gilded rain]

lol

[strong flicker]

Then I ask why I cant lose weight

[gilded rain]

nvm the archive still has 100 mail slots

[fluid raptor]

GET DESTROYED NERD

Hahaha imagine having so much mail and not using anything

Lul

[gilded rain]

the update is good

[zenith elbow]

[gilded rain]

lol

new job?

I thought you quit

let him cook

[zenith elbow]

Let him €ook

[west vector]

@vapid tinsel , do not worry, they'll expand it. Only new players can suffer from shit, not oldies.

[vapid tinsel]

Loyal shikikan for 7+ years

(I count jp time)

[gilded rain]

you people are crazy

[west vector]

tolerant skk for 2 years and 1 month...

I count time till I drop the game or Idk

[distant bluff]

I've been playing for 2 years if I count the breaks I took

time flies fast

[gilded rain]

what are breaks?

the grind never ends

[west vector]

I've made no breaks

[gilded rain]

I've been playing for like 5-5.5 years and I don't remember taking a break once

[west vector]

But now I managed to realize 5+ hours a day straight for years won't make anything, you won't be able to get to oldies

No matter what you do

No idea what to do with this

[gilded rain]

meanwhile me with lvl70 mogador

[distant bluff]

I did but I regret, playing multiple games that require daily login made me have a breakdown from all games like this, I had 3 major breakdowns like these with some smaller ones

[gilded rain]

I ain't using her until I get all her skills to lvl10

[distant bluff]

mine is level 18 rn

[gilded rain]

At least I think mine is mlb

I'm busy with other ships atm

[west vector]

To reduce stress, I dropped everything in my life except playing AL, and, to not drive crazy, I play other... game...

So yeah, I did nothing entire two years

[distant bluff]

and ig also a lack of interest since I originally played because I was a simp but changed over time, I really came back on the game right before the Fool's Scale, glad I didn't miss it

[west vector]

Doing Argus now

Don't have bulins for flasher

[distant bluff]

Universal Bullins are never an issue, Prototype Bulin MKII however

[gilded rain]

I picked up AL just for shits and giggles to try it out and here I am after more than 5 years still playing this damn game everyday
I tried playing other games as well like arknights or girls' frontline but I got bored and the only gacha game I am playing is AL. I simply don't have enough time nor willpower to play more than one gacha game

AL is tedious enough as it is

[west vector]

Grab them everywhere I can, letting no one out view. Have the trouble with this.

[gilded rain]

[distant bluff]

my love for history made me come back to AL, even if I knew nothing about naval history at the time, I started learning a bit of it over the last few months

[west vector]

98 SR ships are waiting for limitbrakes in my docks

Yet again, oldies are drowning in resources

[gilded rain]

trust me, purins are a pain in the ass to get at every stage of the game

unless you have everyone limit broken already

[west vector]

One Bro showed me old screenshot with Amagi event

[strong flicker]

Get HoshinoGrabbed nerd
HoshinoGrab

[distant bluff]

91 for me

[gilded rain]

I have 18 more SRs to limit break

[strong flicker]

[west vector]

When you were to get 2 SR ships, 2 Elite and 2 rare

[gilded rain]

thank you for hoshinograbbing that insolent individual

[west vector]

?

[gilded rain]

[distant bluff]

[west vector]

Just as I see, the further it goes, the harder it is

[gilded rain]

they seem to have forgotten to rerun some events

[west vector]

But game gives no additional instruments rather than problems to clear events etc

[distant bluff]

it's honestly easier to limit break all UR than all SR (ignore the bullin I kept her for the funny)

[gilded rain]

lol

[west vector]

Failed Brunhilde, too

shit happens lmao

[distant bluff]

how?

[gilded rain]

it went back to normal

visual bug

[gilded rain]

well ofc

we get new URs every 3 months or so

[west vector]

He paid to expand it and then grabbed gems from devs' hands

[distant bluff]

ik about the 2000+ more I was wondering about the bug itself

[gilded rain]

me expanding the dorm food was a mistake I made 5 years ago

another mistake was me buying a skin for laffey

[icy rune]

was wondering what all the pinging was

[gilded rain]

heya tempy

[icy rune]

whats up spoot

[gilded rain]

I am sleepy

[icy rune]

[gilded rain]

[icy rune]

yeah, i wanna fall asleep

[strong flicker]

you are not safe either cutie
HoshinoGrab

[gilded rain]

[distant bluff]

sleep? what's that I don't sleep (and then I'm tired all day)

[icy rune]

[strong flicker]

I'm missing 8 ships for 100%

2 event locked

[west vector]

Bro does not play the game

[strong flicker]

:daigigiobu:

[distant bluff]

wdym I literally do everyday 😭

[gilded rain]

oh how silly I was

when I finish school I am going to take my time to relax and play games all day

sits the entire day in my room watching youtube and thinking about what game I should play but when I open it I quit immediatelly because I don't feel like it

[icy rune]

pc gaming at its finest

[west vector]

It is not easier until game showers you on a UR event with multiple URs for limitbreaks, too many URs

[gilded rain]

my irl friend has been gone for the past week

he's doing his military stuff

and I am here alone

[gilded rain]

I agree, I wish they weren't adding 2 URs per event

[strong flicker]

I'm having a similar issue

[gilded rain]

[strong flicker]

was excited to finally have free time, but got so used to not having any that I don't know what to do

[gilded rain]

also I can't play at night because it's just too hot

[distant bluff]

for now I can handle but if they keep I'll be really behind so let's hope it's rare

[icy rune]

you dont have 60k cores?

[gilded rain]

do you?

[icy rune]

i do

[gilded rain]

dam

I got smoked

[distant bluff]

spent it on bullins and retrofit items

[west vector]

And you should not use the same URs for LBs if you want to catch to oldies' total fleet power state

[icy rune]

you bought retrofit items?

[gilded rain]

Speaking of retrofit items

[icy rune]

[west vector]

Since you need same ships with different LBs.

[gilded rain]

I should just buy 10 of warspite's swords and retrofit all my warspite copies

[distant bluff]

[gilded rain]

[west vector]

Why no rings

[gilded rain]

because no affinity

[strong flicker]

Holy

[west vector]

Average THE Warspite enjoyer

[gilded rain]

totally not because I have no money

[strong flicker]

that's a lot of spoots

[distant bluff]

[gilded rain]

I wish I got her more often

[distant bluff]

the real problem would be all the bullins needed for this

[gilded rain]

all I am getting from event builds are either eugen or kii

[west vector]

Also, this is why I do not grind 12-4

[icy rune]

just build endgame pc, then decide to play gacha and watch youtube on it like me

[strong flicker]

[west vector]

Did not make me endgaymer

[icy rune]

??

[gilded rain]

I have an rtx 2060 and an i5 10400f which I wouldn't say is bad for modern games (it is but let's just skip that lol) It can run pretty decently but it gets pretty hot, especially in summer

[strong flicker]

Got a way better laptop and I still play the same crap I used to in my old one

[icy rune]

well, atleast you have dedicated gpu and dont use integrated graphics, thats most of the improvement

[distant bluff]

I don't know what my pc even is made of I understand nothing about computers

[icy rune]

casual

[gilded rain]

it was an upgrade over the laptop I had (i5 6300hq, gtx 950m)

[distant bluff]

I'm a history and astronomy fan, my brain is stuck in the past

[gilded rain]

but I got all of the pc components during the microchip crisis and I overpaid for the graphics card so much I refuse to tell the price I bought it for

[distant bluff]

[gilded rain]

I was even dumber and impatient back then

[icy rune]

dont tell me it was as much as my 4060 ti

[gilded rain]

how much did you pay for it?

[icy rune]

400 usd, i got a new one

[gilded rain]

when did you get it

[icy rune]

last year

[gilded rain]

I think I paid more

[icy rune]

[gilded rain]

but I have this pc for longer than you

[icy rune]

[gilded rain]

listen mister

[icy rune]

you what????

[distant bluff]

[gilded rain]

me

[strong flicker]

[gilded rain]

it was an auction and some fucker put in 1800PLN ($450) and my mom lost her shit and told me to put in 2500

[icy rune]

[strong flicker]

[gilded rain]

stop ehsexing me

I am going to cry

[icy rune]

its always some highball mf thats insane

[gilded rain]

let me repeat what I said earlier

IT WAS DURING THE MICROCHIP CRISIS

IT WAS DURING THE TIME WHEN GRAPHICS CARD PRICES SPIKED

[icy rune]

just, buy good cpu, use integrated graphics

[distant bluff]

[icy rune]

you dont need a dedicated gpu anyway

[gilded rain]

(the graph is for the 3090 but you get the point)

[strong flicker]

just buy a gaming oven

[icy rune]

wonder how much the scalpers made

[gilded rain]

also

[strong flicker]

:quieressexo:

[west vector]

lmfao. I can find 3080 for 4000$ in russian shop at the time

[gilded rain]

I remember getting it as a birthday gift

so it was RIGHT AS THE PRICES WERE THE HIGHEST

[distant bluff]

me trying to understand what yall are saying (I'm too dumb)

[gilded rain]

DON'T LET ME TRADE STOCKS OR GAMBLE

[icy rune]

mister

[strong flicker]

[gilded rain]

in short: They're making fun of me for buying a graphics card during the time when they were the most expensive

[strong flicker]

[icy rune]

thats not how you buy a gpu then, just buy different even go 10s, or just integrated graphics like i said
you coulda save so much money there
oh the misery

[gilded rain]

at this point I am used to being the one in the group who always gets bullied

[icy rune]

[distant bluff]

yeah I guessed so, even I wouldn't have failed this bad

Usually we gotta take a pic but for spams we just don't care

[gilded rain]

[icy rune]

was a pron bot i assume, with link that prolly takes to a sign up or som

[rough turret]

At most. if its an actual acc with a role or something we let em know to contact us if they regain the acc

If its just a random whitename

fuck em

I could go dig it up in the logs

but lazy

But thats because what you say matter. Spoot

not some random bot

I miss having a chair already. Can't play games outside anything that has controller support

Ig i am forced to play more persona. What a shame

[gilded rain]

you can play helldivers with a controller can you not?

[gilded rain]

thats like playing FFXIV with a controller

[rough turret]

bud really just said that

[gilded rain]

why booli me again

[zenith elbow]

[strong flicker]

I fking love it bc is so cringe, and describes some members

[rough turret]

it do be pretty good

[rough turret]

when we were voting on it

[gilded rain]

it describes #al-general

[rough turret]

it got 5 votes

despite there only being 3 able to vote on emotes

[icy rune]

[zenith elbow]

[rough turret]

I would ask more mods to vote. But none of cares much for doing the actual emote work.

[strong flicker]

[rough turret]

so its just Koli, Kawaa and me

[gilded rain]

the vote was as democratic as the PRC

[rough turret]

and sometimes Light

[icy rune]

why does that make so much sense

[rough turret]

I mean i don't want an even number

or we end up with emotes getting tied

Aka. Not being added

so 3 makes the most sense

[gilded rain]

make me a mod so I can vote as well

[rough turret]

Maybe one day spoot

[zenith elbow]

A lexgen only mod

[rough turret]

But seeing what you gotta deal with sometimes. I don't think it would be good for you

[gilded rain]

I would be a great mod

[icy rune]

[gilded rain]

if someone bullies me too much I'll ban them

[rough turret]

for like

a week or 2

then have a mental breakdown

also I'd wipe out #al-general as a whole

can I mod gph

on another server I was in, we had this rule of thumb.. would you show the artwork to your mom?

[gilded rain]

it's less cringey than al-general that's for sure

[rough turret]

Its a good rule

its a shame people here are too dense for that

I mean hell

we get people

who go to general

[strong flicker]

[gilded rain]

I wouldn't work here lol

[rough turret]

and post something nsfw

and ask

[gilded rain]

[rough turret]

"is this safe to post?"

Well. Little late for that now

no?

[icy rune]

[rough turret]

WHY EVEN ASK

[strong flicker]

No way, gacha players lacking common sense

[rough turret]

[gilded rain]

first pin xd

[rough turret]

I often make the comparison that ALO is like a kinder garden.

[strong flicker]

[icy rune]

it really does feel like one, and the clubs are like the 5th graders "ehsexing" the other channels because of the absolute children in them

[rough turret]

mhm

[gilded rain]

except the children are either full grown adults or teens during adolescence

[rough turret]

And don't even get me started on the lore and history clique

[icy rune]

[gilded rain]

history?

huh

[rough turret]

When in lexi

all you can worry about is lexi

being silly

[distant bluff]

What's so bad about them?

[rough turret]

Oh to have that freedon

[icy rune]

yes AL has more irl history in it than you think

[rough turret]

Its not as bad now

it used to be a lot worse when they were clubs

[distant bluff]

Clubs??

[gilded rain]

well I know that, I thought Varia meant like a history chat on ALO

[rough turret]

I assume ya weren't around when we had clubs?

[gilded rain]

[icy rune]

nu, they join recently

[gilded rain]

he doesn't know

[distant bluff]

I joined this month

[rough turret]

Back in ye olden days. "Clubs" were opt in channels

[strong flicker]

that's why I often to their dumb crap

[rough turret]

you had to use the bot to get into them

[strong flicker]

[rough turret]

Now imagine

if you will

the average ALO person

you can't read. You don't know shit about fuck

[gilded rain]

twas a fine time, where the server role still had some power to it

[rough turret]

And now you have to use a bot to get into a channel?

[gilded rain]

nowadays we're all the same

[rough turret]

It meant that history and lore

[gilded rain]

I still remember the war that ensued after the change was made

[icy rune]

yeah, clubs were just a filter, so you knew you were talking to mostly sane people

[rough turret]

did not have as many people as it does today

[visual steppe]

I'm putting this on a billboard (an American one)

[distant bluff]

I see, well that's a good thing clubs no longer exist

[rough turret]

It is

Though

At the beginning both lore and history woulda disagree with that

And this is what i meant about it being a clique

they weren't fond of new people

Hell. They barely liked us.

[icy rune]

[gilded rain]

@rough turret

[rough turret]

tbf. they weren't exactly very likable either

[gilded rain]

I was one of them lol

[rough turret]

kek

[gilded rain]

unless we're talking about something before that

[icy rune]

ah, it all makes sense now

[rough turret]

Nah

[gilded rain]

how long ago was that

[icy rune]

[gilded rain]

2 years?

[rough turret]

I mean i get it tho

like

it really was a filter for some real pepegas

Remember that dude named after the jet?

[gilded rain]

[strong flicker]

[rough turret]

Who tried to befreind me constantly?

[icy rune]

oh, plan

[gilded rain]

who doesn't

[icy rune]

As said

some real pepegas

[gilded rain]

I found him recently on my blocked list

[icy rune]

he was just a lonely boi

[rough turret]

He was kinda weird

[gilded rain]

the man himself

what was he banned for again?

[rough turret]

He wasn't very good at alting either

[rough turret]

reached the threshold

impressive really

[gilded rain]

lol

[icy rune]

yeah, he was really lonely, and you know how people kinda overcompensate cause they afraid of rejection, yeah
like you said, kinda weirdge

[gilded rain]

I only have like 4 or 5 warns

and still didn't get a single one this year

2024 will be my year for sure

[rough turret]

Problem is tempy. Its sometimes really hard to differenciate between someone who is just lonely and wants friends

[distant bluff]

Only? 5 is a lot

[rough turret]

or someone who wants to be your friend cause you are an admin

many such cases

[icy rune]

No reposting warns

[gilded rain]

I'm not reposting anything

[icy rune]

i was a bot tech on a 2k people battle cats server for like a year
with like 30% of our members being banned from the official server

you can just imagine all the characters in there, which is why i couldnt take it anymore left

[rough turret]

kk

[gilded rain]

just summarising

[icy rune]

[rough turret]

just making sure spoot

[gilded rain]

I'm not that dumb

[rough turret]

mhmm

[strong flicker]

[rough turret]

I used to moderate some small youtubers server before this

[gilded rain]

shut up

no more pats for you

mutsuki man

[rough turret]

the banned people eventually created their own server and it tried to constantly picks fights with us for some fuck all reason

[rough turret]

the lenghts some people go on the net cause they got fuck all going on in their life

[icy rune]

yeah

[distant bluff]

I've only ever moderated a server of a YouTuber, I still do after over a year, it's fun

[icy rune]

[rough turret]

it can be fun

But if the youtuber is political...

It isn't

[distant bluff]

[rough turret]

[distant bluff]

Oh yeah...

Mine is just a space gaming YouTuber so it's more chill

[rough turret]

sounds nice

[gilded rain]

1. Saying the funny hentai number (Silent got mad and warned me for it)
2. Joking about japanese people game ending themselves
3. Emote spam
4. Essex hat image spam

[distant bluff]

[rough turret]

tho i also did moderate on gmod before that. When i was a kid essentially. Those were the real dark times

[gilded rain]

gmod is such a weird place

[rough turret]

ye

some real gremlins inthere

I am pretty sure you essentially have to be young to be able to deal with that. An adult would go insane

cause that is what 90% of the playerbase is

[icy rune]

time for ttt with spoot

[strong flicker]

[distant bluff]

I used to get warns more frequently in servers I was in but I started being more careful, except in one server where I got 3 warns because of memes, I gave up posting memes in that server and let the brainrot take over

[gilded rain]

It wouldn't be so bad if I were to play with a larger group of people who are not 12yo and I semi know them

[icy rune]

[gilded rain]

I also finished Rodney meta so I am finally free

[icy rune]

its cause spoot is a sweaty gamer

[gilded rain]

I am not!

[rough turret]

mods don't play the game remember

spoot is just average gamer

[strong flicker]

[gilded rain]

if I were a sweaty gamer you'd see me on the leaderboards

[rough turret]

I was slacking so i gotta catch up now

[gilded rain]

I reinstalled war thunder

[rough turret]

Spoot

no

[gilded rain]

I gave in to the voices

[rough turret]

We lost spoot

[gilded rain]

dw

it won't take long before that game makes me so unimaginably angry that I uninstall it again

[rough turret]

"You can quit anytime"?

[gilded rain]

[rough turret]

if you say so spoot

[gilded rain]

it all depends

[icy rune]

oh, spoot reinstalled war thunder?

[gilded rain]

on how the gameplay is going to be

[gilded rain]

senpoi egged me on

trust

[rough turret]

Ig i am not the one to talk. I really want to play Persona again even tho i just beat it. But i just don't got the time

[gilded rain]

[rough turret]

tho it is prob less tosic than war thunder

so maybe i should give into the voices

[icy rune]

[zenith elbow]

they're fucking annoying

just give me my fucking meal

[low apex]

dicussed them in my school a few weeks ago

so they somehow capture the mainstream

they are probably really cheap compared to how useful they are

so the industry loves them

and the design seems to have struck in the right spot of "cute, but not weird"

so normies don't feel like it's a weirdo robot, but kinda lovely.
And I assume they are piss cheap to order for your restaurant

[icy rune]

the robots aint it chief

[strong flicker]

[icy rune]

i just have mistrust in everything, but i can read fellow humans

[low apex]

but the banner-

[icy rune]

also you can finaggle out of those tips

[low apex]

damn, Im kinda happy i was never an introvert

truly just a guy liking videogames, anime and manga

sitting at home bcs i like it most, not bcs i hate life or other people

[icy rune]

talking to people is indeed the worst

[low apex]

maybe cute cashier and starts being your waifu

mathematically not impossible

odds

[low apex]

that exact robot is used quite a lot throughout the world, so I'd say it works well

[icy rune]

eh, a snoozer for me
not really my thing

[low apex]

But that reminds me that I've read quite a lot of americans hating self-checkouts, rather wanting one of the worst imaginable common jobs to continue being done by humans, instead of having the much better self checkout system

Idk what you expect from the robot. It's a robot that takes your order and brings your food. wdym "a snoozer"? It's not supposed to exite you

[icy rune]

ive actually met some people who share this view around here, kinda crazy

[low apex]

self checkouts are pretty clever, as long as theft can be held in check

since even with theft occouring, you'd need 2-3 full-time jobs of salary to be stolen to make it not worth it.

[icy rune]

i sure did not

[low apex]

humans fearing for shit jobs to be removed

has been a classic for over a hundred years now

weavers during industrialization

making a couple shirts a day of full work

twitter "artists" crying over ai.
oh no! Not the billionth-time-cat-girl-twitter-image "artists"!

you know why AI is so good at making those soulless AI art of catgirls?

bcs humans have done the soulless art on endless repeat already

[fluid raptor]

Bro spitting facts today

[low apex]

since being original and creative on social media gives you a lot less traction and money for your art, so people just do what the mainstream wants.

So over the past 10-15 years especially, art has become: art = money
on the internet

and now AI is finally showing people:
Look how soulless your shit is. The stuff that a mindless machine does in 5 seconds is better than what you are doing.

I don't see creative artists being affected much by AI

[fluid raptor]

[low apex]

Same thing with cosplayers. If you wouldn't have spent the last 10 years using photoshop to make your cosplays (which already used AI features), making yourself look 'prettier', then AI couldn't do the exact same thing, but better

well, on nice art that all is part of the art

just photorealism is definitely something AI can replace well

since the goal is to be as boring and sterile as possible

Yeah, but never any actual art

people forgot that most people don't care about art
just pretty pictures

like 20 years ago; (idk if you are old enough, ill just assume so), 20 years ago the majority of people would tell you that they are not into art, and don't care about art

They care about pretty stuff looking pretty. They don't care about color quality on TVs, they want the "vibrant" setting on their OLEDs

they don't care about art, they care about the resulting high res pretty anime woman

and AI is pretty fkn good at high res pretty anime women

I love that AI will help so many people creating art in the future

the indie game devs, that have really cool ideas, but can't spent 200 000 Euros on artists and designers

the R18 doujin game makers, than can focus on the girls and events instead of the background, monster sprites and environments

It's just in their responsibility to not also make the girls and events with AI. Bcs that shit will never not be whack

I think that's all whack

maybe it's fine if you wanna have a very generic girl, and can't make her generic enough yourself, and then do the picking like you say

that's not what it's about

you are buying an eroge, and the artist wasn't able to think of a character design, what are they able to do at all

Speaking of which...
2024 has been very lacking on the DLsite eroge front

pretty much only the massage shop game was a banger in 2024

vtuber hack was fine

I never play bishoujo games. they are always so boring. I'd love to though, but can't find any I like

the language can remain on your native language

just the locale

But yeah... I kinda already forgot about it

how it used to be back then, before I studied japanese. Yeah, I probably wouldn't wanna consume eroge often without knowing japanese

searching for language patches, fearing malware, shit not working

[strong flicker]

[low apex]

oh yeah- doijins also

i HIGHLY recommend you guys learn japanese, if you haven't already, as full fledged otakus/weebs

It's actually pretty much free, and really easy. It just costs time.
Half an hour a day, no "challanges" really at all. And I promise you'll be able to play native JP games, listen to audiobooks, anime, manga, light nobels

and I ALSO promise you, it's a BIG difference.
There are basically no existing translations that are actually as good as the JP original

you lose SO much nuance and context, almost every single time, in every single work you read/watch/play/consume in general

just basic shit like a girl saying あたし, and you are already facing an impossible translation hell

like straight up impossible to translate- what are you gonna translate it to, without altering what she says, and how natural it sounds?

[strong flicker]

[gilded rain]

[low apex]

Commendable, but JP study is solely recommended digitally

you are losing infinite time on paperbooks

well, can you read japanese?

[strong flicker]

[low apex]

since I feel like... failing at learning, just bcs you hate digital stuff (spoilers: you are on a digital forum RN) is pretty sad

textbooks paperform is fine I guess. But digital dicionaries and SRS flashcards are MANDATORY for study

Well, your choice

I just think it's definitely worth studying JP if you are surrounded by or in contact with japanese products for like... 15+ hours a day

IF that applies to you guys

home study for free is just as good, if not better

i your

Like school time is very limited, and you have to drive to and from there

(and it's expensive)

and unless it's private, you split time with all the others

and the speed will be based on the lowest common denominator (the dumbest person in class)

But the chad solo study... free, start whenever you want, how long you want, always based on your personal preferences

[strong flicker]

I want to learn jp but no time and too lazy

[low apex]

0 travel time

30 mins a day and you are good to go

[strong flicker]

mmmm

..

[low apex]

until you reach the magical life-hack point, where your JP is good enough to consume native material ||(hentai doujins)||for fun, and practice&study at the same time as you do shit.

unironically. doujinshi was the first material i consumed for the first year

since the vocab, context and events are actually usually quite simple and obvious

the only hard part are the first 2 pages in some doujins that have a foreplay story build-up and explain you the situation
