Everytime I backfire in mahjong....

[Laura King @mindfulmahj]

On an airplane to California tomorrow and finally have a chance to read. Which one should I read first? So grateful to the @WorldRiichi publishing team for their hard work bringing these books to English readers!

[Flowingcloud @Flowingcloud1]

Often times don't post about other people but this achievement is just too amazing to just not mention. Congrats to my good friend Skye "sci" Chen for doing the unthinkable on her second WSOP attempt! The A10 hero call just shows me how good she is at reading others!

built an interactive guide to teach you the basics of mahjong ! 🀄

it includes rulesets from different regions (hk and taiwan for now) with a few interactive elements to illustrate mahjong concepts. more demos in thread, and a bit about the tools i used to build this.

the one thing this guide can’t really capture is how social mahjong is -- mahjong tables are never silent ! they’re full of overlapping conversations and the constant click-clack of acrylic tiles stacking and shuffling against each other. come to @modal's mahjong night tmrw to experience that part for yourself : )

Played at the Rochester Riichi Open this past weekend and ended at 13th out of 36. Had a very big +74.9 first day 1, but started day 2 with a 4th and could not reach back to top 4. Still had a fun time playing with everyone! Thanks to the RIT Mahjong Club for hosting this event!

Translation: I was about to mindlessly discard 4m, but the deal-in rate on 1m is low enough that I just tsumogiri'd (drew and discarded) it instead. If I can pull the 5m or 8m and then discard 2m, that path seems to have a lower overall deal-in rate.

脳死で4m切ろうとしたけど、1mの放銃率小さすぎてツモ切り
58m吸収からの打2mができるならこっちのほうが全体の放銃率は低そう

WE DID IT!!! 🎉 #Umazing 🐴

#NorthernLake ’s #crowdfunding has officially reached ¥100,000,000+

This means we can provide a covered walking machine to support the horses’ health
during harsh winters and hot summers.

Thank you to everyone who believed, shared, and supported until the very end.
This is the best possible “prize money” — for #MeishoDoto and his friends. 🐎💙

This victory belongs to everyone who loves #horseracing , #UmaMusume,
