I've been playing all summer and it's genuinely one of my favorite pastimes on the go during trips, and while waiting for my animations to render.
38
Even when I have to work, they can still fight battles all on their own.
39
And I actually love these Tataru and their designs, especially Punch -Hip and his little ass -shaking move that deals AoE damage and summons clones.
40
If that sounds familiar, that's
41
because Lil' Guy literally learned from a Journey to the West comic book that he stole from a tourist.

I was just laying in bed staring at the door and one eye open and then
82
Henry's head slowly Did you hear that?

84

85
I immediately rode over, grabbed my phone, and just started recording.
86

87
We're just laying in bed, waiting for something to happen.
88
Because what do you do?
89
Like, genuinely, what do you do?
90
Like I'm too scared to even look at the peephole.
91
What if like someone's out there?
92
You saw what happened.
93
You died now.
94
Dude, I can't go back home.
95
I can't be stuck in New York.
96
We look at the clock.
97
It is 6 a .m.
98
He should not be out and about in the hallway being this loud, right?
99
And as he's like still going, I just hear like a door slam next door and a man comes out.
100
What the f* are you doing, man?
101
Do you have any idea what time it is?
102
And the guy's just like, I'm so sorry.
103
I'm just calling my friend.
104
It's a friend now?
105
I thought it was your boss. And then...
106
Closes the door.
107
And then you just hear...
108
Please.
109
He's still there!
110
That's how paper -thin the walls are.
111
And then he continues even longer until...
112
We hear another door open in the hallway.
113
It's someone who sounds like security.
114
No, no, no. Okay.
115
Why are you closed?
116
I'm starting.
117
No. It's fine.
118
I don't look like I either.
119
I will guess.
120
I guess, I guess, yes, yes, yes.
121

122

124
That's my friend.
125
Who's the friend of yours?
126
The guy.
127
What guy?
128
The one who's on the side of the internet. Which one?
129
I don't know.
130
Eventually, I think the issue got de -escalated, the conversation got quieter and quieter, and it sounded like he got escorted by security.
131
I think our neighbors called them up in the neighborhood.
132
Everything else about New York was so dandy so fine
133
Why on the very last day of our hotel stay did this have to happen?
134
And when I told this story to my friends in VC Did someone that he knows like get kidnapped?
135
That would explain the reason why he doesn't know where his
136
friend's room is He could have been involved in a hostage situation
137
Could have been on the phone with a very powerful group of people
138
Maybe it was one of those things where like he borrowed money from someone uh shady
139
and like negotiations fell through and he's begging to get back in the room to have another chance
140
But they're not letting him back in.
141
I don't know.
142
I hope whatever happened to that guy.
143
I hope he's genuinely okay I hope he sees his family
144
and I hope his problems that he was having that night genuinely get solved
145
But like can you not scare me next time, please?
146
I was so scared I wanted to pee so bad, but I couldn't get out of bed
147
So if you're from New York or just anyone who has any idea of what could be going on, please let me know what you think.
148
Let me know your ideas and guesses so I'm not alone in this.
149
Because it's been keeping me up at night.
150
HEPA.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
