disconnected twice this game nice game tenhoukeks (that’s me)
this extremely tanyao brained and honestly with dora 2 yeah i should
this is very tan yao brained to focus the 35 kanchan vs 14m ryanmen make up your mind dude?
bro i wanna fold now with the amount of calls out no thanks
i think 7p is less risk than 9p. but 9p lets me stay in tenpai if i draw… 3s? because there’s no way in hell i’m dropping chun so i didnt care about attempting tenpai/keiten here. I guess 5m isn’t *bad*.
technically 3s isn’t 100% safe anymore after toimen tedashi 2m. but why 8p over 9p now? fascinating
how long do you want me to hold the dora man another -shanten?
Huh? I think having 22m233p34s as my ‘open’ shape is better than relying on the 22m2233p doubleryanmen with all the 1p dead. Maybe I’m failing to account for shanpon tenpai in my acceptance.
tfw too dumb to understand naga
lol i tossed the highest possible danger tile in response to the riichi here hahah. ok i ruled out pinzu to toimen, we can probably rule out manzu out of toimen as well so 58m makes the most sense here.
yeah i’m riiching this with a disconnected player sorry!
tfw disconnect tsumogiris count against your hand score
ESPN was in town for the Super Bowl… now I can say I was on TV!
Ate at Fikscue Craft BBQ on February 7th. It’s primarily a BBQ joint but they also have some fusion Asian cuisine with it. It’s good! I don’t think it quite punches with true Texas BBQ ™ but it’s still nice to have something good locally without having to fly all the way out there.
I put stickers from my Japan trip on my laptop! Some room for more if I get other nice stickers next time. I do have more I could use but for now this is what we are rolling with.
New figgie came in – I wish I could lay her down on her back in front of my computer but her right leg kind of gets in the way… Maybe I can figure something out later with it.
Red Bull Showrun took place in San Francisco yesterday and I got to see Yuki Tsunoda! I started watching F1 midway through the 2021 season (The 2021 rainout for the Belgian Grand Prix was the first race I watched, actually) so I picked Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda as my drivers to follow.
Technically it’s not the “current” F-1 car (it’s the 2011 RB7) but getting to hear an “F-1” car in real life was really cool! Unfortunately the engine in the car caught on fire towards the end lol but it will be nice to see if Yuki can return to F-1 later! Maybe I’ll watch again in the future but the F-1 seasons since 2021 have not been as compelling.
Stopped by the local Kinokuniya to see what JLPT N2 books to get… they want $25 each (translator’s note: $25 is 3,875￥) for these doohickeys! Luckily I am a seasoned Japanese item buyer…
Yeahhhhhhhh ok that’s more like it.
I got a RÅSKOG / NORRÅVA cart from Ikea to help consolidate some things. I used to have my meds and supplements and protein at the front of my room… so keeping everything in one place will hopefully make it easier to wake up and get all my ‘dailies’ done here. Also going to try to commit to taking 4 scoops of protein per day. I had an old bag from 2023 that expired and might have been giving me the runs… so I don’t think I should punish myself by forcing myself to finish the old stuff, even if it might be fine.
self review
So it’s been about 3 weeks since I started… It’s not looking too good… At the very least… I can say that I’m actually following up on poor performance instead of giving up like every time in my life before…
I can say I was derailed from being sick and also from dealing with my parents being a pain in the ass this last week… but that’s not a good excuse in the long run. So what has worked and what hasn’t and what changes can we make to help?
Lifting needs to be done first thing in the day – If I don’t wake up early and knock it out ASAP I’m gonna keep finding excuses to not do it. This also means I need to sleep early to wake up early enough to do it not and have to get on work to put out fires. Which also means I need to be diligent and ahead of my work to be able to log off early peacefully (at this time, I am not lol). Which also means I need to quit goofing off and using my phone and finding ways to not be bored instead of working. Which I do because I’m trying to escape from working. Which I goof off because… I don’t wanna work. What a terrible cycle! So really the main answer is… I gotta sit down and do my damn work so everything else can come into play.
Here’s a sample schedule I whipped up, keeping sleep schedule consistent and allowing for time in the morning to exercise and time at night to clean up, get ready for bed, and jerk off. I think it’s probably too ambitious but we can adjust once tax time is over. My main failure point is goofing off from 20:30-23:30 on my phone not actually doing anything, forcing me to wake up late the next day. Quit it!
And a workout plan that I’ve been putting off. Instead of wondering what my starting weights ‘should be’ and wondering if it’s too light, I’m just picking something light and we’ll start from here. This schedule works by adding +5 lbs to upper body lifts every month and +10 lbs to lower body lifts every month. Which means if I commit to this and did the lifts every time, at the end of the year, my press would be 145×5 (yeah right), bench press 165×5 (probably too low, but whatever), squat 225×5 (respectable), deadlift 235 (a little slightly low, but whatever). But I think that’s a way better place than if I don’t actually measure it, so let’s just take that and have a solid foundation to increase weights, instead of quitting and thinking about what ifs. Maybe you knock off -15/-30 lbs for each and even then it’s not bad. But we can always improve later. The key is to actually improve over time, no matter how small.
Since this schedule is lifting 4 times a week, the other 3 days shouldn’t necessarily be entirely off days. Maybe just 20-30 min of playing around with the reverse hyperextension machine I bought or some supplemental stuff like core work or light conditioning should be fine (in addition to the walking being done). That way I still have to answer “yes’ to did I exercise (and changing the daily criteria from “did you lift” to “did you exercise” to account for this).
Mahjong and IIDX… I kinda don’t wanna say it but… let’s get the exercise and work stuff in order first. Unironically I should try to make this my ‘goof off’ activity but looking at shit on the internet and pissing hours away doing nothing has way less ‘friction’ to do. lol
Well ok that’s it let’s stay on task…!
This weeks dakimakura theme is Illyasviel von einzbern!
i know its 1m or 1p but i picked 1p because its less likely to have the pair because it’s once cut… if i inverse it then 1p is safer to discard later?
i guess i dont REALLY need the 5m. i thought about dropping 8m to remove furiten on 9m but i fixated on sanshoku. but if im fixated on it then i should drop the 5m!
uhhhhhh tanyao bros?
damaturds won… i guess we could have gone for a 3 tile wait instead of a 2 tile wait. but ‘muh suji trap’
i’m not attacking anyway…? i’m gonna pass on this one
i don’t want sakigiri 9s here? really? the reasoning being i can still get… ittsu 456m if i draw 9s? fascinating
this is too aggressive for me lol
efficiency error!
lol
bro i wanna RIICHI for 77 not settle for 58 ok fine that is better ;_;
keiten fishing. plus i got dora 2. so why not? i got 5m67p to fall back on, so just need 1 additional safe tile vs toimen riichi to fold. famous last words cause he’d tsumo haneman cause of my shift and end in 1st lol
i guess 2 ryanmens (4578m) is better than trying to fix the 445m block (4457m)
better ending tenpai wait i guess
HON ITSU
but i fold here lol
yeah i like the chase here i’m not backing down my 7700 dama hand might as well give it a chance for haneman
I thought about this after I tossed 3p… what if I draw 4s? *sad furiten noises* I guess you could say the same if I draw 2p…
argument for 9s is that I have 4 9s to pass vs 2 1ps to pass if the first one passes. I assessed all of my tiles as dogshit unsafe against this riichi (as evaluated by the blue lines) but I probably should give this up as all I have is riichi dora 2shanten anyway.
I thought about this one for a few seconds… I *do* want the 4m for dora acceptance… but not at the cost of breaking up the already existing blocks.
fucking shit man. Interesting that ヒバカリ would hold the 3m here. For chiitoi?
I wanna fold lol i ain’t pushing against toimen anymore. I guess 1p will be safe later anyway and nan is technically more dangerous as live honor (though valueless for everyone else)
I missed 1m genbutsu… I think 9s suji would have been better too.
2p has 3 3ps out… but my 3 9s also has 3 8s out…. hmm…… how do we arrive at 4p over 2p though? I guess you wouldn’t cut 6p out of 566p on turn 1, would you? then that would make your 25p urasuji more dangerous.
I didn’t wanna tan yao brain and cut the 13m block so fast… maybe i should accept being a tan yao brain monkey…
I think normal me would try to dama here for 39/80 but riichi tsumo takame also can give me haneman… I do like the difference in riichi judgment for カガシ here
23345p+7p let’s me accept 6p. I think I overfixated on drawing the pair though and with only 1 7p remaining I went with the decision to cut that instead. OK
nice sashikomi bro
I didn’t like this call that much. I’d cut 2s for… a wide 1shanten?
I GUESS SO……..3678m46s are best
shoulda pushed the 8m instead of going back 1shanten cause there’s already 3 7ms out. fight bro why you runnin
good job you didn’t get 4th!!!

yeah i should be afraid of chanta plus i already chucked all the 5s
>.2% agari chance ok you got me. plus its dealer
8p better for chiitoitsu?
hatsu better for chiitoitsu
i disconnected here ):
wa-pow
ok I guess i dont really need more pairs here i can always break a pei if i draw 9s or something, so let’s keep xia as genbutsu for later
i’m not keeping 3s if i draw it so lets hold on to genbutsus!
bro my sakigiri? i guess i can upgrade with 7p…
i wanna dama takame the 6s for 11400………. i guess 5800 isnt bad either
i’m taking not 4th good day sir
admittedly tilted by disconnect. on 東１-２本場 if i had the 3s in hand i would have ronned on kamicha’s 4m instead of dealing 7p dora into toimen for oyamangan. |:

hmm stop going back 1shanten to improve your final waits maybe? kill 6p acceptance for trying to make a new ryanmen on manzu side
i wanted to suji 7m instead of doing 8p again to try to dodge both riichis… i guess the singular 9m cut is less sus than the 99p cut
chin itsu bros…
suji 7m or suji 3p? I guess if you take into consideration that there are 3 6ms and 3 8ms out suji 68m is less likely than a 24p shape waiting on 3p. ok
muh ryuu ii sou bro
i didn’t wanna tanyao brain myself by keeping the 668s block and relying on the 34s block instead but ok
tanyao brain… won…
I guess I shouldn’t be pushing this. I just got out of 4th so I shouldn’t be so eager to dive right back in, especially since we’re only 1shanten (:
what a joke
ok in my mind i *need* points here so i’m kinda throwing a hail mary on this. 4s is safer in terms of it being nakasuji but my idea was well maybe one of the other two people can throw the 4s!
coulda tossed the 4s if i didn’t riichi (:
absolutely clapped how do you deal in 5 times in a hanchan you actually have to be doing it intentionally lmao

i don’t get iipeikou anymore so i guess so…
i don’t really wanna end on 57m but i suppose i can upgrade 4m8m and keep 0m acceptance
once cut value honor > terminal
with 2 3m out i suppose 89m is better with 4 7m still alive
in my mind there’s no way i can get 9p anymore cause 2 9p are already cut. so let’s take the iipeikou point upgrade :^)
I was thinking of chiitoi… but I’d end up breaking chiitoi later anyway and renchan isn’t necessarily a bad thing here
I skipped hatsu already |:
yeah i went back 1shanten cutting 1p… what am i doing lol
for some reason i didn’t think 1m was safe and 5m chii was the discard. not paying attention?
what if its CHIN ITSU bro my hand is shit anyway. but it was actually tan yao
if im scared of chin itsu i guess it makes sense to not cut his wind lol
hon itsu chii toi is mangan… chun honitsu is 5200… I guess??
nope i want suuankou tenpai if i can grab it. sorry naga
thats an EARLY 5P but it might have saved me later hehe tfw tanyao brain
tanyao brain bros… ahhhhhhhhh
i know i have to push the 3s here because if he tsumo’s im equally dead but unfortunately i deal in to mangan hehe i dama in case i can draw 6p somehow
yeah cutting 7s here hurts me so bad when i draw 6s later. but couldn’t I just have drawn the 4p or 6p instead???
aiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
muh ITSU potential ok yeah i needed points you got me
