I will point out (from the August challenge)
Now, these were @cat 's rules, but this has been my guiding principle in the last two months.
With one more day my September numbers are 28.5 hours of challenge approved listening (which I already fudged a bit for this month by letting myself include reading with audiobooks), but 44.5 hours overall (the rest of that coming from subbed anime/TV). I feel like I’d get the most out of trying to run up the 45 hours towards 50 or even 60 for October, instead of concentrating on the 30ish without subs.
I suppose, if I take a critical look at what I’ve decided, is that I will be cheating by using subs. So in my head I will be negatively impacting others.
But on the other hand, I know I’ve gotten a lot of joy and motivation out of this challenge for the past few months, and I will 100% follow this thread in October. So, I suppose I’m in for 50 hours with a stretch goal of 60 for any listening. Unless anyone says no, which I know isn’t going to happen, but I still feel… guilty? about bending the rules this hard. Yes, this is what it’s like to live in my head all the time.
