www.youtube.com/watch?v=96tP... this is the kinda drama i expect from a mahjong game

oh yeah this accurately captures the quiet dread of being one away from tenpai while two of your opponents are in riichi

The future is kind of just a bunch of dogs shitting on the floor forever but they've all got these horrible white guy human faces and they keep going "Things are changing. Fast. Don't get left behind. This is the future. Catch the wave" over and over and over really fucking loud

"Please give us private accounts" vs "you know what. Maybe I don't need a vibe coded private account. Maybe I don't think I should trust the vibe coded private account to actually be private."

YES LET'S

Thanks to Ukie for taking our concerns seriously, and a huge thanks to @kendraserra.bsky.social for their tireless legal work on this. They deserve to be considered a folk hero.

Never thought this would happen. Stand up for your rights, folks!

the thing about traveling internationally and then coming back to the US to work retail is that now I feel like I escaped my cage but they caught me and put me back in and I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing for my current mental health

THAT’S WHAT I KEEP THINKING

The Sense of Distance: Japan versus the American Midwest JoJo’s seventh story arc, Steel Ball Run, involves a race across America, but I knew that undertaking that journey by myself in one single trip would have been impossible. Instead, I split up the research into three sections: from the West Coast to the deserts, from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago, and to the finish line in New York. Each region possesses its own culture and is home to different types of people. Without going there for yourself, it’s impossible to comprehend the feeling of scale in the midwestern United States, where the scenery stretches on forever and unchanging. The feeling of distance there is nothing like Japan. Say, for example, an enemy is approaching from afar -- at such a distance that escape would be trivial in Japan. In the Midwest, the open landscape remains identical from one hour to the next, and I was struck by the real sense that I could never make an escape from such an adversary; there was simply nowhere to hide. I was able to put that experience to good use when it came time to draw the manga. Travel there is mostly done by car. When you drive across those vast plains, the scenery is mostly devoid of any ups and downs, and is dotted only by the occasional town with nothing to claim but chain stores, seemingly little to provide amusement aside from watching movies, and you hardly ever see anyone else about. Rather than inspire thoughts of enjoying nature, it felt empty and lifeless and made me wonder if there was any fun to living there at all. A kind of atmosphere hung over these places that felt rich for suspense.

I often think about Araki's description of the Midwest from his time here doing research for Steel Ball Run. I think he nailed it.

Do you know what growing up in the mostly two dimensions of the great plains does to your mind? The Midwestern mind cannot comprehend a mountain. The ground only goes down then back up. Never just up. The kinds of mental development you endure bc of that is ripe for some exploitation yknow?

You want a new flavor of pastoral american ennui?? Put those bitches in a semi rural Midwestern farm town.

oh I’m horrified to learn this…..

if you thought I was kidding
