    [Horizontal World (またのんき▼)] 伊ダ落

    To celebrate freedom I have went through my unread doujins and picked out a stack on the basis “would I be sad if I died without reading this”. I liked the build-up of tension to set the scene! I did spend a good 20 minutes at C107 picking up their 総集編 from their booth, only to find a huge stack of it at Melonbooks immediately after the event. Tragic… but expected I suppose given their popularity.

    OK it’s time to go touch steel

    tomatama curry udon

    I did the same thing again today. Cleared more 10s in IIDX and played a few credits of DDR. Legs are sore! Gains soon ™

    tfw too sleepy to watch bro

    looking forward to “working from home” again :^)

    HONORS

    HONORS

    I thought about this after I discarded. Maybe you should think before you discard. What a crazy idea! Anyway 9p is pretty dead so at the very least 7p is better than 8p here. I’m biased cause I’d draw the 5m for an kou in a little bit

    Damn 2p already. I wasn’t thinking hon itsu until I’d pick up another 9m.

    Greedy ass mf here passing on this tenpai. I don’t like this tenpai kanchan for 1k though.

    Let’s freaking goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    I was really upset that my hands except the last one were progressing really slowly so I sought to speed it up. Looking back I don’t think it actually helps the hand that much.

    hooray

    [どらやきや (井上たくや)] ユウカちゃんのもっとえっち本 / [どらやきや (井上たくや)] サクラコ様のえっち本

    I started following this artist when he was drawing Xenoblade 2 doujins, though for some reason some huge Xenoblade 2 fan i knew at the time really didn’t like this artist despite the artist pumping out a ton of fan art of Hikari and Homura. I like the Sakurako book more than the Yuuka one as Yuuka just acts as an unfiltered slut for the whole book.

    Today is April 15! Hope you filed your U.S. individual tax return if you live in the United States!

    I have a friend that I played games with a lot and whenever something goes wrong I’d yell out AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW really loud. I guess I do it in person too. Here’s me doing it at work.

    microsoft teams chime is a blight upon humanity

    Since I had to stay late yesterday leaving the office at 17:30 (the horror!), I promised I’d leave the office early today at 15:30 to go to Round 1. I said goodbye to my team without any reservations and headed off!

    still got it after not playing for 1.5 months

    I also played 3 credits of DDR. I have to learn how to hold the bar when I play, since I’ve played my whole life without using the bar… my arms get tired first! So I start with holding the bar and then switch to not using the bar halfway through the song. I’m out of shape but if I keep playing maybe we can move up from 9s/10s back to 13s-14s.

    tfw ur udon joint sells… rice?

    For dinner… Bolognese Udon sounded the most interesting.

    apparently, spaghetti is NOT considered a type of noodle. therefore, spaghetti and udon are NOT interchangeable and you should refrain from trying this at home

    So I’ve been thinking about how I should be checking the internet less. Let’s do a dry run of what checking the internet looks like.

    melonbooks doujin ranking page. I need to buy #12

    new doujins available for pre-order. COMIC1☆28 is coming up at the end of the month

    new doujins in stock. useful for after an event

    r-18 tankoubons by ranking

    new r-18 tankoubons available for preorder. since pictures don’t usually accompany the newest listings it’s not too useful

    new r-18 tankoubons in stock. I don’t usually pre-order tankoubons anymore and pick them up in stock

    melonbooks’ uribouzakkaten section. They commission artists to do some art and make goods out of them. I like to buy face towels to stick my face deep into towels with cute anime girls printed on them

    fig-memo r-18 for keeping up with new figures

    figsoku for keeping up with figures

    native store for releases

    amiami en for new figures

    omiai dakimakura for daki relases

    so it’s like… Do you need to check these things every day? Probably not. Preorder windows are pretty long…. and it’s not like I’m swimming in money right now either haha…

    Well. I can admit it’s hard to be future oriented when being bogged down with work. But now we can be positive and look forward to tomorrow!

    fuck you too dude

    I remember being at 冬コミ and wondering who’s this new Blue Archive people are drawing. I figured I’ll buy first and ask questions later. This was good!

    an illectual drink. tfw not an intellectual

    My brother asked me to take this picture and show it to my friends. Here you are.

    muh honors order

    i held on to the dora for too long this round

    would have been able to take 1p36s tenpai here if I cut hatsu the turn before

    I was like I’m gonna die anyway so I’m gonna push chiitoi. But If I’m pushing Chiitoi then wouldn’t 3s be better since that’s absolutely dead?

    4p is dead so let’s maximize our tan dora 3 instead of still shooting for sanshoku

    retard lol

    BLOCKS

    Being practical…

    I thought about how I have to write some sort of sob story about my life but I don’t know. That’s been most of my whole life already… :^)
    Well… I’m still fat and out of shape and behind on my Japanese reps and bad at mahjong and bad at IIDX so it can only get better from here right? Haha…

    At least most of the work for now is done until August…Now you can spend all the time you want on your goals instead of pissing it away on the internet on useless things :^)

    Maybe I can write more often as a daily whatever the fuck instead of some weekly recap only thing. That means each post is less impactful… whatever. We’ll see if anything comes to mind.

    never kill yourself… but it’s 8 months away…

    dora 3s acceptance wat are we doing?

    uhhh……. hon itsu? pretty far though

    i want itsu (which i’d get)

    i chucked 8s since drawing 7s is furiten…. but i can ‘accept’ 7s because i have 55s. so that is invalid

    1p>4p. but I wanted to lock hon itsu anyway… but true

    I’m indifferent to this…?

    the hell am I using xia for. dump that shit

    I suppose tan yao is not that far of a stretch here

    I was like I better fold lol these hands are kinda scary. so i went with the latest genbutsu. If i was paying attentino I could have seen 6s is safe

    but after toimen called kan on 1z I was like well kokushi is dead let’s freaking go. Hopefully I could get everyone to fold but toimen remained tenpai

    yeah ok 9p is useless I was thinking if I get 999p it could be useful for something. but not really.

    ok I guess 9p is a little more dangerous. but I think I’m in a good spot to push for first since the only way I can change placements is direct deal-in, assuming mangan hand and not haneman (I can tank a direct deal-in and stay 2nd if it’s 5200).

    let’s freaking gooooooooooooo

    there’s no rule that says I can’t do this on mobile… Though I don’t like having to play while moving around irl…

    I would get 3p later… Sakigirikeks btfo

    I do want the 5p/8p upgrade… I don’t think riichi tan bad wait is worth 3900….do I need to adjust?

    I tthink it’s a little too early to keiten here but I didn’t like dropping 6m into shimocha’s hand here either.

    Muh 5 blocks. But 8s is redundant here.

    Was trying to see if as two separate blocks of 22m and 35m…is that too greedy?

    Toitoibros…. We got too cocky…

    I missed 2m genbutsu for 5m nakasuji. Oops

    Have to go back three shanten to tanyao brain. Lol

    Upper souzu looks more depleted than lower souzu, so I opted to discard 6s over 3s here. Both are once cut as far as toi toi or chiitoi goes…?

    I’m full folding baby I ain’t pushing 4m

    Hooray

    i guess if we hit hatsu pon its 7700 for toitoi hatsu dora. 4 calls isn’t too bad from turn 5 either…

    9s is genbutsu vs taking risk on 1m and neither are good for our hand

    I was thinking I should dama in case I get a dangerous tile (7s?)… but would I actually fold if I drew something dangerous? not like I terribly need more points here but we also do wanna fold against shimocha

    damabros…. i betrayed us…

    muh 2s acceptance

    tfw blind to hon itsu

    yep realized it after the fact haha

    uhhhhhhhhhhhh……………………. i wanted tan yao… that’s all…

    ok in hindsight jun chanta seems less appealing than when I first thought about it and i dont need more points so just keep it simple and get the lower value win to move the dealership

    im folding bro… 1% agari rate man

    i dont want the 23m shape for open kuitan here. i do concede it would be faster

    i fuckin riichid 6m instead of 5m. no tips bros btfo. luckily it didnt matter as i didnt win either way

    I guess additional 8m acceptance is better? well what if I drew 7p and can then take 4p???????????????

    useless terminal

    out of the three choices I picked the WORST one! well I think it’s from a shimocha has hon itsu bro vs pure efficiency. advancing shimocha’s dora suit hon itsu is pretty bad bro

    am i getting better??? nah

    24 hours per day.

    That’s all you get in a day. No more, no less. Everyone else in the world gets exactly the same number of hours per day. All the rich people, all the poor people have the same time. Sure, maybe they have access to resources that could allow them better use of their time (both relatively and absolutely), but all the same they better make them count…!

    Periodic haul of goods…

    New tapestry (:

    Week’s not too bad but had a bunch of stuff to do for work so I’d wake up at 05:00 to get ready to leave the house for work and come back at 20:00-21:00… It’s not a good excuse to work out but it is what it is. Just gotta sleep ASAP when I come home late instead of goofing off. After all I get 1.5 hours to goof off on the way home from work so… goof off then? Hmm..

    I’ve left my phone off for about 24 hours now? Maybe I can break the tendency to piss away hours on it (famous last words). For now my ‘break’ routine will be to jump in bed and roll around hugging one of my dakimakuras. There’s supposed to be some shit where you actually need to give your brain a break when taking a break, and using your phone/pc to look for shit/entertainment is not taking a break as far as it involves engaging your brain (and some other shit about dopamines).

    I think we’re doing ok – it’s not 100% compliant but given the shit I have going on, it’s pretty good, actually. I was eating a bit at work, but I’m not yet concerned about my weight as I started taking creatine since last month… so my cope is weight not decreasing is due to water saturation from creatine. Will it hold? We’ll find out…

    For weight lifting, apparently muscle memory is a thing so I should probably try to increase the weights a little more rapidly than my original schedule. Probably do some sort of 5×5 once a week for each lift and add 5 lbs to each the week after until it’s not sustainable, then switch back to the 5/3/1 program I’ve been using. There’s no rules here… so let’s see what happens.

    Since I’ve been able to full clear my anki deck, I now have room to be adding cards to my deck. Ideally I’d be adding words I come across in エロゲ/同人誌, but going back to those and looking after the fact is a little annoying… so for now we are just sticking with words I miss from Kotoba Bot’s N1 reading quiz:

    Maybe we can pass DJT’s n1 quiz in a few months… side goal to JLPT N2 at year end, I suppose.

    Mahjong has been really sad lately… I thought about taking a short break cause it was making me upset, but I think token one game a day should be fine. Just don’t play a game trying to get a 1st to set the tone for the day… Be happy on your own (:

    I don’t really know if I can make every post exciting… but in the end, life itself is quite ordinary… so let’s let this be a reflection of that too. It’s like when you’re reading those high drama stories where everything is going to shit and the characters facing peril are like “Damn… I just want to live a normal life man…” yet here we are living normal lives pining for excitement to escape the drudgery of our normal life! What if we just learn to take joy in living a normal life?

    I guess I have to turn on my phone for this…. damn…
