Kaito / Katie Sinclaire @KS@is.a.qute.dog

@lightdark @devurandom unless something changed recently this is absolutely not how it works

I've had 16 items all lying on tables and gotten a 4* rating with a warning about loose items, and I know it wasn't from anything elsewhere because picking them up off the tables brought it back to 5*

@devurandom nope! I had the same idea, and they still count for some unknown reason

@devurandom so yes, if you do something like place turnips outside, you will basically never have 5*s

@devurandom it means you have 15 or more loose, non-natural items on the ground

anything that isn't tree branches or rocks counts, basically

@unascribed ty <3

@unascribed oldbytes.space & queer.party?

Just because people can't (easily) misgender me due to the whole 'any pronouns' thing doesn't mean I won't get livid when I see it being intentionally done to my friends.

@Felthry Yeah, there's slight scoring changes for having a streak

Unfortunately I can't even begin to go over the scoring system of Mahjong, it's pretty complicated for low scoring hands

Once you get to 4 yaku though, the scores get locked to fixed intervals and it becomes a lot more sensical

@Felthry Multiple players can call Riichi, and the player that wins the hand gets the points from all of the players that called it

The stick for Riichi is just what you physically set down in front of you when you call it

@Felthry the ten mahjong tires are the Dora tiles in the dead wall, those are the ones that give you Dora yaku when you have a tile next in sequence to one of them (for instance, the East winds in your hand)

I don't know the exact names for the other two sticks but they're for players that called Riichi, and the streak, I believe

Internet is still out, by the way. Almost eight hours later.

Internet outage. Oh well.

@steph isle of man TT is downright scary

@KitRedgrave can confirm you're very cute, would hug and smooch again

Discord's new "Inbox" feature is worse than useless, it's showing me new messages sent by users I've blocked.

@steph Good morniiiing~

@BestGirlGrace return 410 instead, possibly?

Mastodon returns 410 for deleted accounts, maybe it'd help clue in other instances that it's not coming back

@devurandom "Ky" as a first name is already something I've been thinking about for a long time

I don't want a name change for strictly gender-related reasons, but thanks to associations that make me super uncomfortable I have zero desire to continue using it in the long term

Kaito Sinclaire is a really good, really fitting name for myself but I want a degree of separation from *me* and *my character*

Maybe I should still keep the Sinclaire last name regardless of what I do

Laying in bed attempting to sleep, and instead tossing about while my mind goes over "what do I do with my real name" yet again
