hooray new adults. I don’t have any other figgies that have plate armor, so I think Platea is a good addition! I don’t order food delivery myself cause it’s not affordable, but I wouldn’t mind my food being delivered by Aoi… hehe…
I gave out some free points… but luckily it wasn’t too many! I think there’s a few mistakes I could take back, but otherwise I think I did what I could. Looking at the nagger logs maybe I’m overcompensating trying to push for 1st since the ai is built on 4th avoidance… but we’ll just have to keep practicing. At least I can say I didn’t alt-tab for these matches! But other ranked matches.. well.. haha…
Finished chapter 7/9 of manosaba. The images for the in game items are too small on my screen deck, so I missed a few details for the clues. Probably would be fine if I played on PC, but luckily you can keep guessing choices until you pick the right one.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i stayed up late playing my gaym so goodbye!!
uhh just trying to sakigiri but maybe i can swap to 56p or 67p being better than 2345678s
well it’s not like you’re taking ittsu here anyway
I’d end up on 3s penchan after this call and hatsu. I don’t like it but maybe i should like it?
just fold hands cooked
awwwwwwwwwwwwwww……………… i thought we liked late riichis… I guess we lose pinfu swap on 58p draw. then 4m has more uradora available vs 7m
damn i coulda been clapped chanta xia already. but i don’t need 3s acceptance on 1s and hon itsu is out
MMMMMMMMM LIVE HONORS what are we doing man
I’m just trying to run from this hand but 2z is absolute genbutsu vs pretty likely safe tiles so since both hands are open lets be fully safe instead of saving tiles vs a riichi
bruh are you serious this is why im dogshit i gues its 3900 but man that is too nyagger for me better than jerking off the round away
overfixating on the 0s acceptance when we can also accept 8s!
idiot
uhh 78p acceptance is worth something while 2s acceptance isnt. oops
there’s more 58m available than 47m and we know 6m is safe
mMmMm I have turned my brain into mushy pudding as I can’t work without checking my phone every 30 minutes! This is extremely unbefitting of a working professional so I better do something about it very soon! Ideas come to mind like writing down each time I grab it and what I check it for. That would be extremely embarassing to report and might make me reconsider checking it. aaaaaiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Talked to a former co-worker who wanted a refresher on ‘current topics’ for work for his interview, so I briefed him on topics I’d expect an ‘experienced hire’ to be proficient/knowledgeable in. Hope he gets the job?
why is my time zone in phoenix
I heard there’s gonna be free points tomorrow on table A! Hope I don’t lose too many…
uhh i went to work and caught up on e-mails and work and came home and cleaned my room up a bit (but not entirely) then watched some my teammate play in /mjg/ league 7 and then I got owned in tile game but notice how exercise is missing in those list of activities???? better fix it after eating so much on vacation!!!
I remember last time I came back from Japan I wish I could stay there forever. Luckily, I don’t feel the same way about Canada, so I had no problems wanting to come back home!
How have I been doing without logging into X for at least the last two weeks? I just check @avidseries because I’m racist, so doing pretty well. I’m finding politics and current events less interesting to check, so that’s a plus too! Now I just need to work on converting free time to useful activities…
i had a fantasy I’d do all of these waiting in line for roller coasters… haha…
Probably giving up IIDX for the short/medium term. Can’t fit in a few hours a week as I’m already behind on my other goals. ;_;
But it’s ok, I also didn’t do a lot of things in my life too! Like have a girlfriend or have 2277 skill level in runescape or complete a wow expansion with full pve epics or reach global elite in cs:go or reach master 1v1 in starcraft 2 or reach celestial in mahjong soul or reach 鳳凰 in 天鳳. but at least I have c*nny (:
ok early bird gets the worm! unless you don’t like worms. then you can stay up tonight.zzzzzzzzzz
its 4 han yasume 6 han takame. plus i allow kamicha to riichi abort. so yeah dama is better. my bad trying to shoot for byeman
destroys his own blocks
I shoulda just folded I’m beat on two two open call hands instead of dealing 8m post chii
*keeps excess tiles*
wait i don’t get to have it back? awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I feel like if it were me last year I would have dama tanki 6m to fish for something else but I’ve been preferring to riichi on less than optimal waits these days. perhaps there is a finer balance I should take
Stopped by a Canadian grocery store. Not too much different, but I liked that they play sounds of chickens clucking near the eggs section. Very cute!
Here’s the re-assembled Leviathan train with test water dummies in it. Seat 1.4 (front row, seat 4) lap bar doesn’t lift all the way, so no humans allowed!
Last meal in Canadia. This french burger was fun with roast beef and brie added to it. Also, we noted that this Heinz ketchup was made in Canada instead of the USA. I couldn’t tell a difference though.
Going home… I read a chapter of manosaba on the plane and started crying at the end of it. It was messed up… I should finish the rest soon!
Thanks Daniel
home sweet home. it’s been 10 days of sleeping without a real daki ™. i have work tomorrow too. time to get back to real life. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Writing this on the morning of the 25th so I’m a little late. Oops
one last look from the expensive ass hotel room
how many pictures of niagara do you need?
Niagara Boat Cruise. A little cloudy and drizzly today, so visibility isn’t too good. When I came last time it was nice and sunny, so I could see a lot of rainbows against all of the water falling down. Still good to see it up close again.
mmm gimmicks
And we are back! The rain stopped a little bit after our cruise, and we noticed the roller coaster was testing as we were walking back to our car. The ride is entirely janky and rough with overly strong laterals on the turns, but you do get the illusion that you’ll fly off the building when the coaster rushes towards the edges.
A strawberry cheesecake beaver tail. I think it’s just ok, but my brother liked it more than I did as he likes how crunchy it is. I guess I like my things nice and soft.
A quick stop at Seabreeze Amusement Park. It’s a family oriented amusement park and the thirteenth oldest one in the world. The main highlight is their roller coaster Jack Rabbit, which is the oldest continuing operating roller coaster in the United States. For something built in 1920, it’s pretty good! While the park doesn’t have too much to offer in terms of overall thrills, it has a unique charm to it that I don’t feel at other parks, especially compared to…
Six Flags Darien Lake. This park is quite literally in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mostly forests and farmland. Six Flags just operates the park on behalf of a separate REIT, so they don’t have any headliner roller coasters in their roster. That isn’t to say that they aren’t improving the park, but it’s somewhat backwater and rundown. We were able to get one ride on each roller coaster before the rain come in, so mission accomplished on our part.
The park has one joint offering Buffalo Wings, but since it’s really just a joint in a park, they’re just chicken wings and they were OK.
it’s ok, the place was named in the 1930s so Adolf is a-OK
We picked Adolf’s Old First Ward Tavern to get our taste of real Buffalo Wings and selected Salt and Vinegar and Smokey Mesquite for our flavors. We probably should have gotten one flavor as sauced wings as it ended up being quite dry, but the exterior wings are satisfyingly crispy. The blue cheese ‘dressing’ offered was extremely thick and had chunks of actual blue cheese in it, compared to a more liquid form of dressing that I’d normally expect, so eating that with the wings was really fun!
Time for one last rodeo at Canada’s Wonderland before we fly out. It was very cold and rainy on Saturday, so it ended up being that Leviathan and Behemoth, the parks two big coasters, had their cars valley and fail to make it through the course due to temperatures and wind. We were worried that the rides would be down for an extended period of time, but it looks like they were able to disassemble the trains to get them out of the way. let’s gooooooo
four blocks: break the 9p and let’s keep the chun as genbutsu. Even if we complete 66789p we gotta break 1s then
sakigiri. especially since it’s dora indicator and we have 3 pairs already
you’re the aggressor here and you’re below 4:30 (3:30 to be specific right now for 3900), so let’s get more value! You’re not folding this if someone calls riichi, so go for it!
even in a vacuum 9p > 2s in discard order anyway. considering additional factors, there’s no chanta here either and you’re sabotaging your hon itsu
naga wind discard prefernce: non-value honors > value honors. even then we should hold the hatsu as it still has a chance to pair up for value. if you draw a nan pair here, are you really happy anyway? I would only consider this if hatsu was twice cut instead
just keep your 13p shape. 8s doesn’t really offer you anything better here just yet. You already have 5 good blocks (78m 56p 99p 123s 77z) so expanding into a 78s if you keep 8s and draw 7s doesn’t really improve our hand further here.
probably a more aggressive atozuke then i’m personally comfortabl with. but even if you get to riichi it’s most likely nomi anyway, so perhaps atozuke can make sense here
8s genbutsu. use it. hatsu is uncut and more dangerous
1m genbutsu froim shimocha. why do we need to test suji ?
0m is relatively safe and ripping 6s prevents us from reaching keiten. since we’ve seen tedashi since it could be dangerous. but unlikely.
I prefer 9p but I actually don’t know this one
value honors > isolated terminal. try not to hold ‘genbutsu’ first row when you don’t have enough blocks
2/8 > value honors since they have higher ukeire, in general
honestly i don’t think i’d catch this but if toimen doesn’t want 0m but cuts 2m tedashi from his hand. what does he have left in his hand? but an easier way to read this is if you wanna fold you have safe 1s from shimocha
genbutsu > once cut honors for safety, though I think being aggressive and pushing against it since you are dealer is ok since we are playing for 1st and not 4th avoiding
value honors> terminal
in general naga prefers to break uncut value honors over once cut honors. this changes if you have something nice like dora 3 and want to full offense your hand
1shanten 25m57s vs returning to 2shanten? we should try to be efficient to get to riichi. unless you want to fold here instead. then 8s would be better since you still maintain 1shanten on 25m5s
looks like we could be overfixating on pinfu
keep your daisangen potential alive. i will know that you are no dreamer
too far for hon itsu, so break your honors. either nan for being round wind or hatsu for having the least uradora available
take the 1shanten on 789m123s. we don’t need to float ‘nice’ 2shanten
i wonder if the value proposition on kan changes if you’re already at 5200 going to 6400. the difference is low though so i see this more as 50/50, but since we’re playing for 1st lets err on the side of being more offensive and go for it
50/50, though if you reallyi want to wait for a better wait then you should cut 8s instad since you destroyed your 5p/0p acceptance. you would riichi sanmenchan 147p right?
value honor > terminals. perhaps ittsu is a stretch. 2s is…. very bad here
value honor > terminals
4s acceptance > 9s acceptance? even if you want to play full safety 8s is once cut vs 3s being uncut
hooray

disclaimer: kamicha’s name was changed to dumbfuck for not being compatible with naga
>wait one turn i pass
56m is the weakest block here since 23m lets us accept dora, 223p has the widest acceptance and 33s lets us cal for toitoi (chun) 2600/5200. 33s is weaker but definitely dont ruin the 223p
33s is now the weakest block. but we have 6 blocks.
we have to blow up one of 23p or 33s. if we’re doing 23p, save the 2p for last since its more genbutsuey than 3p (genbutsu to toimen and suji to kamicha)
let’s keep our tanyao dora (iipeikou) 1shanten instead of shooting for san an kou, since an an kou requires us to toss 0s
pin zu is pretty scary and we can mawashi a bit with 4p. just because we are dealer does not mean we need to push full offense. let’s also consider preserving our lead
HON ITSU. also, once cut value honor > non-value honor
i guess non value honor > twice cut value honor since twice cut value honor no longer has value
suji 7p is safer but you would need to cut 7s anyway for sanshoku. so im in different
we don’t have a pair yet so catching 8s for 56789s to draw a pair on 5689s would be very useful. whereas drawing 23s doesnt move the needle on this hand very much
tanyao? chun is probably slow at this point
tenpai!
cut honors before 2 and 8 unless you have hon itsu / chanta. i think you are valuing 2 and 8 too low
once cut value honor > nonvalue honor
i don’t see value potential besides riichi so quick hand is more ideal here
shimocha is playing chanta so 4m > 1m
value honor > terminal. 9s has sanshoku potential so we dont toss that
5 block theory. 5m isnt adding anything to us here to warrant blowing up another block. we can already accept 4m and 7m, so the only thing its adding is 6m acceptance. don’t be afraid to break 5m when you can accept 14m / 69m
3s > 1m. plus, you have 3m ‘acceptance’ with 55m
HONORS and shit
not much value here besides adding dora so lets make it quick
you chucked the 4m already so commit to the hon itsu bit. consider that we are trying to clear a 13900 point difference to get to 1st and we don’t have our dealer turn anymore. so we need value. even if we win this pei chun 2000 we still have 11900 points to go which is still outside of mangan tsumo range in south 3.
in a vacuum, if you dont need tan yao, a 2p is more likely to be obtained than a 6p.
terminal > non-value honor. Unless you are thinking of hon itsu? but that’s pretty far so i don’t think so
1p > 9p on both 19 being genbutsu and you already have 36p acceptance on 4p draw. if you wanna make the argument that 8p is three cut ruining your 79p kanchan you should have tossed 9m the moment hte 3rd 8p was thrown
terminal > value honor. maybe you are considering 8p acceptance but i dont think its that useful here
use known genbutsu 1s first over testing 1z
8p is NOT safe to kamicha
hooray

dont think 1s is doing too much for us here? let’s be on the offensive with such a strong hand
ponten sanshoku
>wait one turn indifferent
6p has already passed and is genbutsu to two players can we use that instead?
BLOCKS. plus why are we btfoing our only pair?
DAI SAN GEN POTENTIAL. also, value honor > terminal
drawing 4p keeping 3p is better than drawing 3m keeping 2m
let’s preserve our attacking shape by tossing 1z
fix the 777p by cutting 6p. we are ok with a quick hand here given point difference anyway
indifferent but wait is depleted and we dont need to lock ourselves into becoming open to being chased is the reasoning i think for dama. either/or is fine i think
why are we blowing a good block up instead of throwing away the useless tile
