riichi city just added a tile efficiency trainer. the thing is, raw tile efficiency-- that is, the move that gives you the max num. of potential outs-- isn't necessarily the best move for value or hand shape. 7p isn't a good cut here bc drawing 6p would give us a strong shape; 34567 waiting on 258.

a neat classic Namco heirloom that somehow ended up with Kenji Sasaki: a jointed puppet-style template model used to aid the production of Genpei Toumaden's multi-jointed player-character Kagekiyo https://xcancel.com/sasappo/status/2054581304294064533 🇯🇵

note that the presence of billy kane's little-known sister lilly does kind of indicate the polling pool were super maniac fans

Right is female fans, left is male fans. Top 5 of male characters and female characters.

this feels like the crux of things, and I don't see it highlighted enough: being creative is fun! i want a machine that does my laundry so i can focus more on making art, not the other way around!!

nothing can really compare to seeing speed racer with someone who have never seen it because this cut a couple minutes in makes every single person collectively, instinctually recoil like they've been poisoned no matter if they like the movie or not it's so fucking funny

turnaround in people's view of speed racer over the years is so interesting. movies as weird/fun as the speed racer movie just don't get through the mainstream wall. it was only ever mentioned as a punchline at its release. remember seeing it in a completely empty theater with one family w/kids

I still love the movie. Rewatching it now it still got my blood pumping. Even shed a few tears after the engine roared to life in a key scene everyone who saw the film remembers. Nearly as perfect as it could be & I doubt most will notice any flaws. So good.

movie studio announces "we are on some *wild* shit"

lrt: the old jp neo-geo polling from the 90s overwhelmingly found women voted for fem characters they wanted to BE (confident, sexy, assertive: mai, king, yuri) and men voted for fem characters they wanted to marry (quiet, demure: nakoruru in a landslide). probably a cultural element too.

a thing i think of regarding female character designs is that one 90's poll about SNK characters where Mai (gaming's OG titty ninja (affectionate)) was the most popular female character among female players, while Nakoruru (shy and demure young shrine maiden) was #1 girl to male players

youtu.be/zunwV4iAVAs?... middle of this video has quite a bit of footage of an undumped sega medal game from '99 that you have probably never seen, called Hyper Skateboard

ancient imas fans: when xenoglossia came out, were people mad that Haruka refers to the robot as her boyfriend, are ALL the idols dating their robots (this is what happens in super robot wars and I assume it's from the anime)

mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/titles/100631 yeah that's what everyone who reads life man thinks

you can hear the kazoo desperately fall out of my mouth just so i could get this joke in [Repost from 2019]

I’ll be tabling for the first time ever at the Tiny Arts Makers craft fair tomorrow in Ridgewood, Queens! Swing by if you want cute little bags I’ve sewn 🪡🧵 tinyartssupply.com/pages/makers...

gross little hentai dude with horny time stop powers has the most horrifying night of his life in 1980's cairo as the 3rd and by far weakest timestop guy in the area

It’s always funny seeing nerds across the world gravitated independently to certain things (this developer’s name is a spinal tap reference)

fun thing about opening a folder in the kawaiikos archive from ten years ago is even i don't remember what some of these jokes were about

And as promised, there'll be robot action.

Packaging previews of the first two Tamago Gundan kits we’ll be launching next week at Wonder Festival US. These are designed for more experience modelers or those looking to get into resin kits, not hard to build but not snap fit.

In case you missed it, we just released Mahjong Bangers, a remix album themed around Mahjong video games. Check it out if you're interested, and maybe it'll become the background music for your next Yakuman!

i better download all those awkward english language videos about how to play pachinko

this should really be your core convention activity tbh

please keep a backup of your important files. i nearly deleted a 10-year-old kawaiikochans (a beloved one, if i may say so) trying to chop it up into 4 images for posting just now

Hi, it's Kawaiikochans. There was such a time for watashi-tachi as well... Even the theme of "kawaiisa" is similar.

so the whole hydlide trilogy came to steam

writing a thing about the recent terrible manga The Trembling Right Hand and delighted to find that Japanese readers were also laughing at how bad it was. It seems like it did get cancelled, but do you ever find that out for sure with Jump titles?

Cheap a$$ manufacturers of DVDs who list as 'features' chapters, interactive menues, and the time. These arent features. Thats like calling your computers keyboard a 'feature'. Lame a$$ marketing people.

A Boy and His Gundam is now up on the official channel! youtu.be/Zt62nsFLqA0?...

Oh hey steam's very selectively enforced prudishness is very predictably being used as a cudgel towards a queer VN. Who could have seen this coming?/s

You truly are a genius thought leader to be asking a question so multifaceted and deep. My programming skills aren’t just Ruby and Python, they’re any type of gem — and any type of snake!

lost an hour trying to figure out why cocoon won't properly read or load games in genesis rom folder correctly (unresolved). this was understood, but don't get one of these if you're not into tinkering with it. good night

Galient is so fucking cool dude....

Oh ho ho, turns out, even Ivy's whip sword in Soul Caliber, in concept art, is a Galiant reference! From Gamest Graphics Volume 1 (Gamest Mook 170) we have concept art of Ivy featuring her sword, labeled with ガリアン!

we won, btw
