@zemichi I played Azur Lane long enough to get the appeal, but I didn't want to put money or time into it (and they didn't give me enough Northern Alliance pulls) so I uninstalled
and now I've put money into Mahjong Soul, which is owned by the same company! damnit, this is like boycotting Budweiser and picking up Modelo instead
@zemichi the shipgirls always asking for more food really gives it a family feel, but, even if there are strip games, Mahjong Soul isn't like that right?
@ChristiJunior@monsterislandcolonizer@Granwalder@Tadano@Tsuki "you want a woman who's pure? pedophile." the implication: all women are victims of child sex abuse, because their first time was pedophilic and their second time with the same partner? that's above-board. A few hours passed and the woman is no longer child-coded.
left: interesting ambiguous statement. power is a skeleton. The advised is clearly deranged and has sickly jaundiced skin and bloodshot eyes. Are they standing in a dark room with light coming through a door, or is the man glowing? right: name you don't care about has concrete "I am 12 and this is vengeful" words for name you don't care about. giggly girl whispers to cringing "I don't swing that way" girl. background is featureless.
it's impossible that anyone looked at this and saw it as an upgrade. Is it just a plot to increase trade value for the old cards, by replacing them with trash that people would want to escape?
@OF29@Jdogg247 you're taking them too lightly. They're threatening to jail more of the opposition. This is similar to a Holocaust-denial trial where the defense lawyer goes to jail as well for trying to argue that the defendant is right on the facts.
also, tons of gags. When a princess cites the rumors about the MC as proof of how corrupt he is, she says "The people's eyes are clear!" in reply: "You can't fool me! The people's eyes are white and black! Half white, half black!"

of nothingI Am A Corrupt Official, Yet They Say I Am A Loyal Minister! >appointed school disciplinarian >immediately harvest thousands of times your annual salary from the arrogant children of corrupt officials >called out in Imperial court for doing this >defense: this is nonsense! How is it possible for children to have so much money! And children of Imperial court officials, no less! Their salary couldn't possibly support the amount of money you say I've stolen! >the parents you've stolen from are forced to agree that the charge is impossible on its face this is a good one. It's not just face-slapping. The MC is a shameless and bold liar who doesn't care how many enemies he makes, and instead of everyone else constantly misjudging him (so that they can be face-slapped for it), it's more often that his enemies have him accurately pegged and he is the one always confused about why his allies are sticking by his side. MC's point of view: he's just too handsome. That's why the Empress hasn't executed him, his face is just that attractive!
there are also, courtesy of the National Weather Service, "excessive heat warnings". Now a judgment is being made: there is just TOO much heat! The heat in this area is WRONG. The manager of the planet is FUCKING UP and NEEDS TO BE FIRED. and when it's cold >Extreme cold warning – the polar opposite of an Excessive heat warning propaganda is a way of life for these people.
@monsterislandcolonizer the Chinese today are so resistant to gay propaganda because when the gays say that it's good to not have children and fornicate in public, the Chinese just look at the word 'good' and say, "no, look, 好 is a woman with a child. That's what good. You can't read?"
@StaleDonut@coolboymew left if Tomoko Kuroki of No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular! , with manga and anime adaption. Not an isekai.
@WashedOutGundamPilot >Jump in front of them to act as a human shield? Sure. murderer comes in house. You take the first bullet. Kids take the rest. Whole family is dead and kids are just as dead as if you'd dodged cowardly away. Good job? Yes! Because your hands are clean! Yay! Clean hands are the best! >not throwing a punch, let alone a bullet murderer comes in house. You could incapacitate him and take your kids away, and the murderer can still get caught, go to prison, find Jesus, and apologize while weeping (completely sincerely) years later. or your whole family could die. Yes, that's better, because if your whole family dies then you have clean hands!
You are not a parent. You value people thinking of you as non-violent more than you value the lives of your children.
@kirby nah that's just solitaire with the same pieces.

of nothingMahjong Soul first impressions 1. I have never once understood anybody trying to explain this alien game, but the MS tutorial laid out the basics and it's surprisingly approachable. I played a few games against easy AI and didn't get last place every game 2. also surprisingly, Mahjong Soul *only* tutorializes the game itself, of Riichi Mahjong. It didn't tell me a single thing about the gacha or items or the social aspect. Didn't walk me through how or why to spend money. Maybe eastern audiences get that stuff since they're more likely to not immediately bounce off Mahjong
Mahjong explainer 1. you win by forming one of two general patterns of winning decks, and then secure victory by also having a special pattern. If it's poker, a 'full house' would be a winning pattern, but to secure victory you would need the full house to also meet some extra criteria, and maybe the "Peasant Revolution" criteria is not having any Trumps in your full house, and maybe the "Revolution Suppressed" criteria is not having any Spades. 2. you play by picking and discarding a card each turn, and everyone's discards are public, so as the game goes you can reason more reliably about how likely it is that you can complete different patterns.
@Shadowman311 US lizard people in 1998 >we have all these incomparable advantages over other countries >should we settle with this and enter a 1000-year-long golden age and secure a cultural victory? >no... no there are still some countries without US military bases in them!
@lain a feature of gerrymandered districts that people have real fun observing, is the residence of the lord of the district, which is carefully sniped into the district even when it's made up of wholly unrelated areas. "See this odd narrow line right here? At the end of that line is the Count's manor!"
but, districts aren't changed ever two years. The real enabler for this feature is that the aristrocracy of the country feels so secure in their positions that it's not seen as wasted effort to do such a thing.
@MK2boogaloo try posting about foot instead. as that's half of feet, you should lose half of follower, but since that's impossible you will a. lose one follower (round), which is no worse b. lose zero followers (floor) c. accrue resentment (half a follower lost) that manifests in a lost follower the next time you talk about foot d. randomly lose or don't lose a follower (50%)
@BadFediPosts hates black people to such a degree that equating them to a cute animal like the dolphin, regardless of the dolphin race's degenerate practices, is deeply offensive to him. It's like you listed off these characteristics: >often late for class >raises hand after the discussion is clearly over >falls asleep after lunch and then said that the child so described is clearly "the ebola virus of children", she's so annoying to have in your class.
