    last night’s オカズ:

    [夕鍋進行中 (田辺京)] 好色の忠義くノ一ぼたん参

    They released a tankoubon for the first two books in the series last year to promote the anime… but the series isn’t even over yet, so now they have to release a 2nd tankoubon fully compiling the series once it’s done. Good job idiots

    so flat

    Shigure finally arrived! It’s almost been a year since I ordered this through Kappa-Hobby. Don’t order from them since they ship by boat… I had to do it at the time since Amiami banned my account and I lost all my pre-orders, and now I could have just bought it from Amiami for less than retail. ;_;

    I figured I need further demoralization so it’s time to get my ass kicked at that the parlor. Let’s do our best

    Well I got owned again 0/1/1/2. First three games had someone run away with big tsumos, the last I ended up feeding 1st trying to push for 1st myself. I’m also way more willing to fold IRL vs when I play online, maybe I have a little more respect for people if they’re in front of me vs some cute anime girl avatar online. Though that doesn’t apply to playing on 天鳳, technically…? I’ll get a 1st soon…

    I drew from the wrong wall twice and need to stop tossing sticks on the table and place them gently on the table. Also, there’s a few people who sigh and groan every few discards. I like to pretend I have myself together when I’m deep in 4th :^)

    I do think about if paying money to lose in person is worth it when I can lose for free online, but I think the experience and practice is worth it. After all, not everyone in the world can pull up to an autotable with three other jongers, so I should be thankful and take advantage!

    good night sleep tight

    ok bro i am not hell wait riichi noming this

    maybe hatsu is not the best draw to break tenpai on

    I figured hon itsu is not the play and just go for chun dora here

    terminal pair > middle pair? plus i have a 6m discard for suji trap shanpon 9m1p if it comes to that…

    8 tiles 36p vs 6 tiles 69s. but my terminal wait………….

    true but i was like i don’t need more points lol

    not sure but maybe ending shanpon 1p could be good

    fast hands

    east 1 finish!!! so lucky

    last night’s オカズ:

    [とっとこSたろう (MだSたろう)] ダヴィンチちゃん★コード

    I have like this weird curiosity where I wonder if MだSたろうwould still be popular if he would be popular today if he didn’t start off drawing Black Rock Shooter doujins. On the other hand, that was an obscure series to draw doujins to begin with, so perhaps one could say he was successful in spite of that?

    Maybe about 1.5 months ago I found a flock of wild turkeys while taking a walk. I wonder if it’s the same bunch. hobo ass motherfuckers

    what the fuck to these guys gobble anyway

    Americans eat them for ceremonial purposes during Thanksgiving, but they are an uncommon meat choice in some places. I think their white meat is a little bland and dry, but I suppose that’s true for all white meat. I think the theory my brother and I subscribe to is some lore from Yakitate Japan where Asian folks produce less saliva than white folks, so their preference is to have their food be slightly more moist than other culture’s food. You’ll see this most with Asian bakeries that tend to have really moist breads, compared to something like say, French baguettes that are literal cardboard. Apparently people just raw dog pick apart a baguette and eat it, which is an insane idea to me.

    I did some work today “at home” but not too much. I cleaned up my room and did the laundry. I should organize my doujins and onaholes tomorrow. Maybe even catalog my dakimakuras, but that could be an onerous task…

    on the contrary, one would be normally extremely excited for this in a tournament setting

    Did have this game earlier today where I absolutely toasted everyone, but about after the point where I crossed ~50k points it didn’t seem fun or interesting at that point. It felt like… it’s too good to be true or I’m just lucky at this point, so it doesn’t seem real. Where’s the struggle? the bitching and moaning when I deal in post riichi? This isn’t what mahjong is supposed to be about… It’s about pain and suffering. Maybe I’m actually a masochist or something.

    now this is exciting

    Well, the saying goes, you don’t know how good you have it until you don’t have it anymore. Perhaps this is true for 4th place streaks in Mahjong! Maybe I should learn to be grateful for the opportunity to play (which actually means being grateful for the chance to finish in 4th. haha what a joke).

    Damn I wasn’t thinking chiitoi yet tbh

    Dora tanki bros… at least the idea I had in my mind is I didn’t want to let anyone else pon it

    23p > 56p? But what about my 0p acceptance? once cut 2p makes 1p more juicy I suppose

    tfw you’ve been conditioned to not call riichi from post riichi deal-in trauma (PRDT) ™

    TAN YAO

    I thought this might’ve been a bad chi since in hindsight it gave kamicha 6m tsumo. But I think it gives us a better 1shanten and fixes the sanshoku. Can we check

    nice

    honor wind discard order shifts due to point values

    maximize your ukeire kid

    >tests suji before genbutsu ????????????????????????????????

    BRO YOUR SAFE TILE??????????????????????? 9p does nothing

    I figured since I’m head to head with kamicha for 1st I should fight him. I have good wait too. look at the blue bar below it though wew

    really bro I’m FOLDING if I draw any man zu what the hell

    I think if we make the case that I could see a non-value honor pon like the ton or pei open I could reason 2000/3900 deal in could be worth it. but i have to consider it being chin itsu after the 7m cut after 2z and 6z and the consequence of possible post riichi deal in to mangan / possibly haneman makes it seem bad

    I guess 8p suji is better since 3 9p are cut already. plus it’s live vs kamicha. tossing in to 39/77 to kamicha would be disastrous

    hooray

    I guess 6s is a worse ‘safe tile’ to discard without increasing ukeire

    we need the 3s pair so fix it!

    5 blocks…………………….

    sir your keiten attempt?

    marginally speaking we could use the nan more than the 1m. but not by much

    damn… max efficiency…

    thank you for attending today’s cope session

    good evening. we will return to オカズ posting soon

    making some progress on this front..

    Some black folk shoved me on the train this morning but I didn’t care enough to fight back cause I was working on my anki cards to think about it. I figured it’s not worth getting shanked over something trivial since I objectively know my life is better/more important than his. But is that projecting my insecurities if I have to pretend I’m better than him to convince myself conflict isn’t worth it? I went on with my day and didn’t think too much of it, but it came up again since I thought about the day’s events.

    Took a nice walk today. Here is a view of a bridge:

    unfortunately, that boat is not nice

    We had a happy hour out after work. I didn’t really talk though and just had some food and drink and left. Though my team already knows I’m kinda quiet and perhaps a little autistic… maybe I’m a loser for not wanting to socialize? By who? Maybe if I could talk about my real interests I could be more chatty… haha…

    wondered if these fried pickles are from sysco

    I was taking out the trash and I like to wonder what people looking into my room think. It’s slightly more blurry than what it looks like IRL.

    is this nsfw?

    stable rank expert 3

    Been a little down in tile game since my 4th rate is so high. But if we don’t keep playing we won’t get better… but if we keep losing we’ll end up wasting more time on sunk costs… ;_; I guess the beatings will continue until morale improves. but even if I do de-rank… who actually cares? you? me? hmm…

    TRUE

    3s uses 24s buddy

    too many pairs and too far for chiitoi i guess. TANYAO TIME

    nice

    how the hell is anyone going to tell how big she is if you didn’t put anything to reference for scale

    She’s too big!!! gonna have to rearrange everything to fit her somewhere…

    Idk not much else to say besides the fact that I didn’t really wanna work today, so I got to practice the inventory concept of LIFO today at work! It means Last In First Out… so when you sell an item or unit, you use the most recently added unit as your cost of goods sold. In this case… it means I’m the last one in and the first one out! Hooray good night gonna finish the kisaki book tonight

    guaranteed genbutsu vs testing suji 5p. order of operations

    I was like let me get more dora… since I have floating 2p… but I could also just call riichi if I draw 46s…

    Think this gives me more options to open my hand with 4p chi or something. plus 7s is genbutsu and it doesn’t really hurt my hand here at all

    damaturds… not like this… but it’s 7700…!

    I was feeling desperate so I went for the chase. I didn’t feel like I had time to wait for improvement on end of row 2 so my thought is to slam it. but 2 3s out is a bad wait I know…

    I suppose drawing 3m is kinda shitty here since I enter furiten due to 1m toss. So keeping 35p for 4p acceptance makes more sense here, since I’m actually sad if I draw 3m.

    I must have read the scores wrong – dama tan yao is 1300 for 2nd automatically! But I threw the stick still… point awareness skill is lacking…

    OOF

    I was thinking about how I should accept less than ideal riichis more… then I get blown out by stuff like this and it makes me think I shouldn’t… but I still think its the right play…

    22334m > 23334m. Plus, 3m is genbutsu to toimen!

    3m is the best 1shanten discard. I was trying to think of how to greed include the 4s and pivot to tan yao. but in either case, the 3m needs to come out!

    I’d hit 2m on shimocha but not sure if he’d necessarily discard if I riichi’d… 7 turns is too little for me tbh to justify tossing a stick

    atozuke? at this time of year? at this time of day? in this part of the country? localized entirely within your kitchen?

    I guess technically it’s the most efficient but I don’t like going for 3p here being once cut… but it does let me move into hon itsu if it gets that far…

    damn… tanyao brain ON

    dora indicator = once cut = chuck it baby

    Hmm I thought 1p is dead so I should take up 2s acceptance. Maybe I should be trying to maintain by 2 shanten chiitoitsu instead?

    Drew haku and I was like yup cya dude

    CHII TOI

    I think in a fuck everything full offense world I’d chii and toss 2s but I was extremely weary of toimen having something like tanyao dora akadora in hand. I know it’s not dora 3 since 3s wasn’t ponned on the 3s discard by kamicha but I really didn’t wanna take another 3900 pt hit here so I let it slide.

    I was really trying to fold out here. But technically, holding the 2m for tan chiitoi dora 2 would be my ticket out of last…!

    safe(r) tiles

    I was doing honitsu ANYWAY but 2p let’s you accept 1p! but I’d still reject it anyway.

    sadness

    happiness!

    i think the only thing keeping me going is my cope bot scores… surely things will turn around for me… soon ™

    last night’s オカズ:

    [DOGYEAR (九条だんぼ)] 籠鳥の遠き慮りを溶かして

    Is this picture safe for work? I would lean yes… but contextually… it’s not… Also, the books is like 140 pages long or something so it might last another day or two.

    It was raining today and one of my umbrella arms snapped. It still kinda works but there’s like a dimple in one side of it. lol

    チラシ but heavily price inflated

    Senior Manager from east coast visited the office today, so we get to dine on the company dime. Hooray

    thank you jc denton

    Some of the higher ups in the office have been egging me on to pursue a Master’s in Taxation. There are some benefits in doing so for my career, but I’m probably overestimating a little bit… but if I can do it, why not? Especially since that would also be on the company dime I kinda wanna… but if I can’t handle myself with just the job alone, how am I gonna do school and work at the same time? So I’m thinking if I can prove to myself I can behave from now through June I’ll try going for it…

    I missed the bus home today, so I walked 3.5 miles from the station home in the rain. Hooray

    i wanted to stay 1shanten since going back 3-shanten for hon itsu seems way too far…

    hand is shit, even if i call im not winning shit. let’s fold this hand instead next time

    I thought about this for a good bit… I figured if I pon 4s everyone is running for the hills. so I opted to keep it in the pocket. if i pon 4s it’s haneman hon itsu… but it would make my hand easier to complete!

    >haneman greed vs mangan

    uhh is 24445 1 shanten good? I wanted to pon hatsu and then finish 4445s. but I guess it’s not like anyone else really wants 2s…

    1p useless

    1s pretty much useless with 3 2s cut

    I really wanted tenpai so one more draw could help get it closer…!

    true 7p is safer than 4p, since it’s absolute genbutsu. bad!

    let’s fucking gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2026042211gm-0009-3884-8507d31e&tw=1

    I was like…. I want 5p more so 66p doesn’t really help here? I think the case for tossing 8m is we get to 1shanten chiitoitsu.

    I guess this makes sense but I wasn’t really fishing for a fast hand here. but what else am i doing…? I got chun maybe dora.

    m-muh ankous…

    CHII TOI

    Nah i got value in this hand. I’m not settling for tan dora.

    AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

    I was like I want san shoku somehow… so I don’t want to riichi this…

    lol. don’t try this at home kids

    uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not sure. I guess I’d end up getting souzu anyway so might as well do it earlier

    make faster hands!!!!!!

    just greedin’

    I pass. I didn’t want any souzu at all

    ok…?
