Study Smart for JLPT N3 Vocab - Non Kanji Words

Question for those learning Japanese:
What is your ideal length for the vocab list videos?
This will help me consider how I break up videos or what vocab I put into them.
For example, this one turned out over 20 minutes for 100 words but includes English and example sentences

There may be the song Video Killed the Radio Star, but what really kills radio is how they play the same song too frequently.
It was really annoying when I would have to use the restroom at work and the workplace radio would have Adelle saying "Hello" (even if it's also funny from a different pov)

Taking a break from the Zelda thread to bring you this vocab list for JLPT N3 exam. My plan is to strategically break them up for easier studying and review. First off are words that are just hiragana.
Example Sentences and English Audio are included.

It's weird when you haven't posted anything for a while but then you get a block notification. Probably that misleading XC2 list which I haven't even played the game.
Oh well, as much as you want to help people, some people don't want to be helped.

It may be small but it's still motivating when you pass the practice exam. Doing a listening exam everyday does seem to be helping me improve my performance

Reading the DK Bananza interview and the timing of things, I wonder if what happened is Miyamoto was so disappointed when Activision heads refused to greenlight Vicarious Vision's DK game that he had Koizumi agree the 3D Mario team would make one after they finished Odyssey.

Is anyone else having weird issues with pairing pro controllers to the Switch 2? Since the last update, wireless connecting hasn't been working and I have to reset the console before it connects.
Even more unreliable for 3rd party controllers even though was working fine before

Xenoblade 3 and the DLC are on sale. Good deal considering Future Redeemed is pretty much its own 20-30 hour game. So to get that for $20 is great

One other thing about Yotei.
I wrote a piece last year about how reviewers shouldn't dock their scores for weaker optional content. This is exactly why.
I don't have to do any of this optional content that I dont think is compelling. The game is essentially telling me its not as good. /1

But regardless, since I started mainlining Im having a much better time. Just had a pretty epic ass moment happen too.

After seeing PS5 sales very low this week in Japan, it'll be interesting to see the sales next week. However, since price was only one issue, I still don't expect it to be so high.
One note is it's the least popular model getting the price cut so it actually minimizes loss.

Got fever and massive headache. Plus with JLPT in a couple of weeks, I guess I will be taking a break from the anime vocab lists. There will likely still be a JLPT list after I recover but anime ones will have to wait until after Dec 7

Kid caught the flu and I am not feeling well. Not sure if will get to last week's episode. If I do, I'll probably try to skip vocab already done by now to make it slightly faster

A bit late but here is TV Mission 43's second story vocab list. It's a short one this time because the story itself is short and focuses on the kids.
So if you want to watch SPYxFAMILY in Japanese but don't like opening the dictionary every instant, this is for you.

There's this prevailing sentiment that Bluesky is a happy-go-lucky place where dissenting conversations do not happen. More than anything, actually engaging in healthy discourse strengthens our perspective.

Forget about who will win Game of the Year. What I am interested in is what track they will play for DK Bananza when they go over the nominations
