Again as a new TCG player, when someone wins packs from a local and then dumps the cards they don't care about on the table, are we free to just take them?? I had this happen at the Riftbound local and I was scared of grabbing them since the player already left.

Also is this something people commonly do? I had a feeling it was rude to the LGS staff but my brain is an empty vessel

When you only know Deadlock characters from Twitter

You joke about the Japanese to English translations on Twitter until you realize that the English to Japanese translations make us say “uwaaa” and uwooo” in every other post

Learning driving heuristics

Since this post I finished Loopers, Okayu Nyumu R (sequel), and hopefully will get through Aokana by the end of the year while working a full time job
YOU TOO can become a 出来る if you crack open some good books 🫡

I also spent a lot of time reading and dropping random VNs like Baldr Sky (will come back to), My Merry May, One -Armed Crawfish, and the Witch of Ihanashi

バカ アホ

I'm not trying to wade into the localization debate, but as someone who works in games and has spent much of the last year telling a localization team "just use the Japanese word, the audience knows what it means" it's evident that every team needs one otaku freak onboard

Hopefully the point of the post comes across as that it’s important to have cultural understanding of your target audience. Communicating freely with translators as the otaku freak in another division has resulted in a game people really enjoy for its sub-culture authenticity.

I'm still very new to TCGs and even newer to playing them at locals, is it normal or expected to concede when you are aware that you don't have any more outs and you're a few turns from losing if your opponent continues their strategy?

Went to a local to play Riftbound for the first time and won a game by remembering this image

I think Key VN prose (Jun Maeda) is extremely satisfying for JP learners
It's very simple in grammar structure but emotionally evocative and plays with word choices that help you develop a more poetic understanding of how words can be used

Your life improves significantly when you stop caring about what random strangers on the internet draw <- direct experience and testimonial
