The town's hero rides through town into the market area. A scary shadow falls over the crowd. The hero stands strong. Everyone else runs, as a high tech spaceship descends. The ship lands, flattening the town market. Hero draws his sword. The ship opens. The door crushes a dragon skull. Out of the ship walks a beautiful woman and some robots. The hero is intrigued.

"The wall is rigged", as they say.

Obviously, it's not, but I swear, those haipais (starting hands) I got this match are the luckiest in all of my recent matches.

My latest Mahjong Soul ranked match stats. Flawless victory against the opponents with higher rank (TBF, I was demoted a couple of times). Final score: 73 300 points, 0 deal-ins.

Messing with watercolors in Rebelle. It's gonna take a while to find a method that results in what I like the most and is efficient.

A serene scenery. A few platoes, the farthest one has a little outpost on its edge. The cliffs are surrounded by a turbulent water, which adds a sense of eeriness.

I forgot to attach the alt text -__- Here it is with alt text.
A montage of various characters, resembling a movie poster. The "bad guys" are on top, reds are prevailing in them. "The good guys" are lower, blue hues are dominant with them. A lady in underwear with a prosthetic arm sits on top of a high-tech thingamajig with a few screens. She rubs a belly of a giant alien bug. Behind her is a crumbling planet, we see the mantle floating around (Peragus, dis you?)

One thing I realized about my musical orientation (...let's call it that) at the dawn of last year, is that sticking to just one or a handful of genres is kinda stupid.

[1/4] What a lazy and bullshit clickbait.

I'm not that familiar with Ichika, but I'd assume he wrote some complex parts and this guy tries to "prove" they're impossible to play. This guy just shows that he doesn't understand musicmaking.
YouTube thumbnail reads "God of Guitar ("guitar" is strikethrough) miming". Video title reads: "I prove Ichika Nito is the ultimate FAKE guitarist"

This is nothing out of ordinary here, but it's so funny to me anyway.

Me declaring riichi on the 10th turn of East 1 round. 2 repeat counters are on the table from me winning 2 times in the dealer position. My toimen (player in front of me) declaring riichi the same turn. My kamicha (player to my left) declaring riichi the same turn. Me taking my winning tile the very next turn (hence Ippatsu in my yaky list), getting an extra yaku because it's the White Dragon (Haku) and taking all riichi bets placed on the previous turn when everyone was declaring riichi.
