  • I haven’t played a multiplayer game with anyone besides myself since Tribes 2 so I’m really not the best person to ask.

    I think this approach to TJASL is a winning strategy. Realtime and immersive with solid memorable references to draw parallels to/in.

    I think for beginner entry level to the language it would be important to use really basic games to introduce basic concepts such as door, open, table, chair, water, drink and so fourth. Maybe entry of something like stardew valley minecraft or similar.

    As the student grows in vocabulary more advanced games can be tried. Maybe games like Arc Survival. Although that might not be the best option for your PC specs. Doesn’t have to be Ark Survival just an example as it’s cooperative, has world building and adventure with some danger involved. My thinking here is that students get the chance to use what they have learned from the easier games in a more complex and demanding setting. From open the door to oh shit a raptor is trying to break down the door and eat me.

    Mostly I see this as a fun take to learning with a memorable reference people can return to when you are not available. You could even make a lesson plan with your favorite games with a PDF for student vocabulary references.

    Another advantage to multiplayer games with greater than 2 people is students can practice what the have learned with each other together, with you and alone.

    I have learned through teaching a bit myself that students commit things to memory better when they have to think about how to explain what they have learned to others. Being a student teacher. Learning in this type of setting students get the opportunity to share what they individually remember, learn and grow together from interacting with each other. Ultimately to be corrected when needed by Sensei.

    Ultimately it will have to be something you and the students enjoy. It will have to be able to fit your budget. If I had the $ this is definitely something I would pay for. This would help you and your students as people also learn better when it costs them something. And its not like they aren’t getting something of value in return. Might be able to justify upgrading your PC and make some side cash.

    Start cheap. Maybe stick with the switch 2 to start.





  • CP2077 is a great game! Runs really well on the deck. But so is the Witcher 3 which also runs really well on the deck! Personally cp2077 would be the one I pick.

    If you have a little extra money and want to tinker a bit, you can install Decky and the plugins Power Tools, Decky LSFG-VK from decky and Lossless Scaling from the steam store. Decky LSFG-VK needs Lossless Scaling to work and I think it is around 5 bucks. With the above installed you can get around 100 fps in both cp2077, The Witcher 3 and many other games. I haven’t found a game that these plugins dont work on and increase performance and playability albeit at the cost of battery drain.

    I hope you many happy hours of gaming on your new deck. I really love mine!
