Why is Hatsune Miku behind the counter at the tobacco shop?

Life has been crazy. For the last year I've been dealing with a lot of stress and handling it poorly. But I keep telling myself that I have a vacation soon, and once I'm able to go to any random restaurant in Japan and get served something like this for around 1000 yen, it will all be better.

I have once again robbed my opponents in the horse game. I am some kind of a horse thief.

Going to Japan in a couple of months and trying to figure out where I can buy a Riichi Mahjong set with red 3's and a shiro pocchi.

It is once again Pigmon day.

I just realized that the android swype keyboard on my phone has learned to successfully detect the word 'shimocha' because I type it so often.

A friend has opened up a Mahjong center in the Atlanta area. It's a really cool place, offering lessons and play spaces, with (I think) 5 autotables available for rent now. It's a really great place to play many types of mahjong, I highly recommend it! atlmahjong.com

'Anime recommender' isn't my usual thing, but there's going to be an anime adaptation of Akane Banashi in 2026. The manga is excellent and has become one of my absolute favorites, I highly recommend it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVmU...

The food court at my local mall looks like it's out of a movie where they didn't have the rights to use the names of real restaurants.

The first video of the Saikouisen US league will be going up today. This is a big deal! I hope everyone will check it out.

I think I'm pretty much done playing mahjong on Riichi City. It's obvious someone working on the game has a huge loli/foot fetish, an unquenchable desire to force it upon people, and the leverage to do so constantly. There's so many ways to play mahjong where I don't have to deal with this tripe.

I'm going to have to buy a copy of this mahjong 'strategy' book when I'm in Japan.

Aw shit, here we go again.

Well alrighty then

Out protesting. There won't be nearly enough coverage of these protests in general, but there's probably 1000-2000 people out here, and there's 2000 of these around the country. It's understandable to feel frustrated or scared, but don't feel like you're alone. #nokings

Ordered a very fancy flight of whiskey. This is an expensive trip, but I've needed to treat myself a bit lately.

Animazement has a Mahjong Fight Club arcade cabinet set up. Got a yakuman.

Once I have a nice Southern breakfast at Big Ed's, it finally feels like Animazement has started and I'm truly on vacation.

Mark Zuckerberg wants to give us an AI echo chamber that steals your data and outputs Meta's preferred propaganda to solve a problem he helped create, but it also comes across as a cry for help. After the interview, he walked up timidly to the interviewer and said "Will you be my fourth friend?"

I'm really outside my lane here, but I'm confused about something. Innocent question, how much did people EXPECT the Switch 2 to cost? A new video game system costing $450 seems like the most normal thing in the world to me, but everyone seems to be really mad about it.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Looks like Riichi City is adding the two-player variant from Ten as a game mode during their Akagi/Ten collab. Interested to try it and see how it plays.

Finally the record holder for the speedrun in my favourite game of all time. What a feeling. Sorry for the mic clipping, sounded good in testing but awful on stream and no one mentioned it LOL.
