Was meeting relatives from my father's side.

I'm 28, and I had this weird moment of realization that I can click both with generations of teens and adults at the age of 40+. Am I turning into a "cool" dad trope or something?

That feeling when you miss the Big Three Dragons but still end up with Yakuman.

Really like this hand, there is a certain beauty in it. Although the kan ruins the symmetry :(

Man, I really gotta stop watching scary vids before going to sleep.

Hey, who are you?! I don't remember ever meeting you!

What in the actual Ron is going on with this game, ahahahah. First time happening to me.

You know, I'm gonna use Mahjong as the official reason for my atheism.

The game gets you to 3 star rank and then repeatedly flushes you down to 2 star rank.

You get several good hands, but the game thinks otherwise and lets the other win.

No matter how much I plead, I get Ronned and Tsumoed...

Pixel art of Ichihime from Mahjong Soul

Trying to learn the ancient craft of pixel arting.

I started the practice by drawing Ichihime from Mahjong Soul. The amount of details her bond costume has is something for sure.

Is that Local?

I hate this post because it reeks with the vibes of unlikable poster.

I'm thinking of writing a practice work for starters. A short story in the genre of psychological horror covering one game to try and convey the gambling-natured tension often felt by mahjong players.

In other words, I need the storylines in such a way that the readers won't get confused after switching.

One solution is to include the news exchange among the players, akin to tiles exchange present in some mahjong games.

The biggest difficulty is that I want to turn it into the "choose ur adventure" type of book. The reader would be able to switch the POV at their will at certain points. Like it happens when you check the logs of played games or watch the current match as non-player.

My goal is to make a mahjong based work accessible to non-players, to show the goods and funs of the gameplay.

I'd try to use as little lingo as possible, slowly increasing the amount as the story goes, providing necessary pictures and dictionary to help with the understanding.

The work I'm very passionate about is the mahjong-themed novel. It'd revolve around 4 online players from different cities, following their separate lives as well as mahjong sessions.

I plan to make the storylines each in their own genres, which would apply to mahjong segments as well.

Might expand it to novel consisting of short stories.

Story idea:

Hard-core detective fan is invited to a detective-themed quest. Each case: 1) revolves around a well-known detective trope; 2) is based on an episode from the fan's life, unbeknownst to the latter; 3) makes it clearer there's something wrong with the quest.

Yeah, fuck onions.

Typical "you missed the 80% of it" PW meeting.

The tag doesn't lie. Mahjong is the scariest game I've ever played. Each session makes me lose my sleep.

Story idea:

A Year Recap but told through the chronologically set fictional songs the character listened to, mirroring the events of their yearly life.

In other words, a metaphorical story in "poems."

Got a random YT recommendation of a book blogger suggesting the books one should definitely read, and... can't help but feel that reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami left me with some sort of PTSD. For whenever I see the book being mentioned, I get instantly triggered.

Books for Round 2:

Doctor Zhivago (B. Pasternak)
Wild Sheep Chase (H.Murakami)
Invitation to a Beheading (V.Nabokov)
2001: A Space Odyssey (A.C.Clarke)
The Kreutzer Sonata + Hadji Murat (L.Tolstoy)
The Shadow of the Torturer (G.Wolfe)
Escape Attempt (Strugatsky Brothers)
The Pillowman (M.McDonagh)

Have a simple short story idea inspired by SCP-2030. The topic--obsession.

I won't probably work too hard on it. It's just a meme type of work, after all. You know, for laughs.

MINDWAVE Delve into the minds of your opponents in a cerebral microgame frenzy!

Kickstarter link to support the development process:

www.kickstarter.com/projects/hol...

Played a demo of a game called Mindwave.

Love it so far. It's a Warioware type of game with each stage of microwaves being based on the opponents' minds. While in between the sessions, you can chat with other characters.

It definitely looks like a project that'll hit big once out. Looking forward.

Nabokov's "Despair" has all the chances to take the place among my favorites of his.

The style of narration, the narrator himself, his arrogance, enormous self-confidence, and a grain of humor is entertaining and fun to read through.

Here, I may find the click I didn't see in "Lolita."

Books for Round 1:

1. Ressurection by L.Tolstoy

2. Hear the Wind Sing/Pinball, 1973 by H.Murakami

3. Despair by V.Nabokov

4. Children of Ruin by A.Tchaikovsky

5. The Same Old Story by I.Goncharov

6. Death in Venice by T.Mann

7. The Road to Calvary v.3 by A.Tolstoy

8. Picture This by J.Heller

Okay, I spoke too soon. The book is still good, but it's obviously one huge social commentary with the plot serving as a background.

Honestly, I don't mind, but I can't deny I feel less excited. The protagonist is literally Tolstoy sharing his opinions on the "current" society.

I took them all in my collection.

Cat Behemoth from Master and Margarita drinks vodka and eats it up with a pickled mushroom.

Currently reading "Resurrection" by L. Tolstoy.

I have a complicated relationship with his works, not being a huge fan of "Anna Karenina" and "War and Peace."

But, man, Resurrection seems like a work I'd end up genuinely loving. Hyped to see whether it'd be so.
