He's such a sweetheart and deserves all the happiness.

Still salty about it.

I'm going to hell because of this meme.

I love their relationship.

Asking the real questions.

I love you Tsukuyomi but WTF were you doing when the Red Calamity happened? Chilling on the beach????

Two Hachioji Geisha became Natori

According to Yukinoe Okiya on Instagram, two of their Geisha became Natori of the Fujima (藤間) school of dance. Their Natori names are: Azusa (亜寿佐, Fukuya) and Asuha (亜寿葉, Teruha). Fukuya is also a Natori of the Fukuhara (福原) school of narimono, going by Fukuhara Tsuruya (鶴弥).

Could you tell me a bit more about the kimono patterns of the left geiko and middle maiko? I love the hiragana on geiko-san’s, never seen anything like it! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C88exEEv_Gv/?igsh=dnMycmxteHMzbWww

(Also do you know their names by any chance? I recognize Mameaya on the right but not the other two)

The geiko on the left is Mameryū (まめ柳) and the maiko in the middle is Asuha (明日葉), both of Tama (多麻) in Gion Kobu. Mameryū's kimono features a poem or song among blue clouds while Asuha's features pine and the shells and box of a game of Kai Awase (貝合わせ). The game of kai awase involves shells that have a picture on one side and a poem on the other. The game is played like the Western game "Memory" wherein you need to flip the shells over and match the correct picture to its matching poem. It's a somewhat popular motif in the karyukai as the game used to only be owned by nobility due to its high production cost, so it exudes an air of luxury ^^

Alliance Arts, ACQUIRE, and WSS playground announce poker-themed adventure RPG All in Abyss: Judge the Fake for PC - Gematsu

From Gematsu

Publisher Alliance Arts and developers ACQUIRE and WSS playground have announced poker-themed adventure RPG All in Abyss: Judge the Fake for PC (Steam). It will launch in 2024.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

…for every victor who gains it all …there is a loser, left with nothing. In this game, you adventure to become a successful gambler by challenging others at the game of Texas Hold’em Poker. —poker battles.

Texas Hold’em

In this game you will challenge others in a one-versus-one battle of a variant of poker called Texas Hold’em. Texas Hold’em is a popular variation of poker where players are dealt two cards each and use a combination of those cards and five community cards to make the best possible five-card hand.

Activate Skills

The “gambling prodigy” Asuha is capable of turning the tides of battle using various skills, sourcing from her aptitude in gambling. Limit the opponent’s play, gain insight beyond their hand, and much more… stay victorious with skills that expand the pool of decision-making.

All-In

“All-In” is a command that puts all chips on the table and your life as a gambler on the line. Use various means to put yourself in a favorable position, and use this command to slam the final nail in the coffin.

Showdown vs. The Witches

A “Witch” is a Boss Character present in each chapter of the game. All Witches excel at poker, but with enough preparation, the player can expose the Witches’ fraudulent acts and sink them to the depths of hell with a deadly All-In.

The City

The scene is set in The City, where various information can be gathered. Find sources to help unveil the secrets behind the Witches’ cheats and frauds to achieve sweet vengeance. Out of cash? The City abounds with gamblers, challenge them in poker to earn some buck. Be careful though, as losses may lead you into the depths …

Expose the Witches’ Hand

Your finesse in poker may earn you some cash in The City, but the Witches—who rule the districts, will not allow for a fair victory. Their methods of cheating seems to be fool-proof, but the evidence you uncover will say otherwise. Explore every inch of the city and expose the cheaters of their tricks.

Story

Asuha Senahara, a self-proclaimed genius gambler, is a wanderer. Amidst the tables of cards and dice, it is she alone who snatches the chips at stake. One day, she learns of the “gambling district,” a special ward where gambling holds influence above all else. The “Witches”—a group of the most extraordinary gamblers rule over the place—treat Asuha to the taste of defeat; something she was unfamiliar with. They exercised not luck, not skill, but dirty tricks, such that felled Asuha to the depths of the abyss. As a self-proclaimed genius gambler, Asuha becomes determined to take down the Witches. The Coliseum is the battlefield. The challenger is Asuha Senahara. The chips are on the table, and the Witches are ready to be exposed.

Characters

Asuha Senahara – Self-proclaimed genius gambler. A failure of a human being, but has a strong resolve and is determined when it comes to gambling. A pretty young lady on the cover, a middle-aged old man on the inside.

Mina – Savior of the freshly-defeated Asuha. Has good eye sight.

Uru – The First Witch. Uses her mysterious powers to easily defeat Asuha. Loves snacks and sweets.

this post sent me on a long deep dive because I was curious as to who this anime girl even is but I learned a lot. Anyways, this is is the character Mana Asuha from the anime and now defunct trading card game "Luck and Logic"

It was made by the company Bushiroad (yes that bushiroad who developed Bandori and Project Sekai) And it seemed to fail because the art was "strange" and weirded people out, also they had other card games that was just more popular.

i couldn't figure out wtf she was doing in this gif though I wasn't about to subject myself to 2 seasons of a mid anime just to get to this weird chicken nugget scene T_T

Fuck you, now you get to see it in video form, because fuck you.

Day 1/Day 2/Day 3/Day 4/Day 5

Is This Game Trying To Kill Me?

A game that's entirely the escape room parts of the first third of Inscryption. You wake up in a mysterious cabin with a computer in front of you. the computer runs a game about exploring a castle. Doing things in the cabin will effect the game and vice versa. Solve puzzles and try to escape.

It's fine.

It does want it wants to do but what it wants to do doesn't feel too impressive. I could see ahead of time where things were going.

Videos Game

All-in Abyss: Judge the Fake

In Japan's new "Designated Gambling District," 99% of the populace lives in poverty while 1% live like kings. In this dire city, the genius gambler Asuha enters to make her riches and defeat the 5 undefeated witches.

I'm a sucker for gambling manga so as long as this was functional this would click, but I have some complaints.

The aforementioned witches all have different means of cheating, and in-between the big matches, you have to investigate around the city to find some clue as to what their trick is and figure out a counter-strategy. The problem is the investigation is so linear that it just feels like padding between the poker.

It doesn't help that the characters are all kinda one note right now. (I was gonna say they were kinda flat but that isn't true huehuehuehue)

(It is a boob joke)(Kill me)

The poker itself is kinda fun. It has two systems complicating things: the "skill" system lets you alter the cards or your opponent's behavior. The skill "make em chase" is a taunt that keeps the opponent from folding, for example, while "ace in the hole" is "once 4 community cards have been dealt, you get to choose the 5th one". They're balanced by luck being a spendable resource. The 2nd system is a multiplier system. Every time someone raises, a multiplier on the final payout goes up, and it doesn't reset until someone goes to showdown, so you can't just endlessly fold. Hopefully future bosses up the stakes.

the problems: the poker AI for the non witch boss battles kinda sucks. and the big boss battles give you enough in the tank that you can just fold repeatedly until you get an ideal hand, and then use the skill to force a showdown.

Lastly it has dangan-ronpa-esque execution scenes, although not animated, just a CG with description, and the first witch's ironic death, the witch of sweets is force fed to death in blatant feeder fetish art.

Overall more Kakegurui than Kaiji.

Project Silverfish

Small Scale Scalie Stalker.

You choose a backstory, are dumped into some sort of exclusion zone, and take missions from various factions with a reputation system.

Not sure about the gunplay because I spent my short playtime avoiding fights.

Has Stalker's system of multiple smaller maps connected by loading zones but fewer of them. I don't know if they're similarly sized. I did not get far in my one attempt at Stalker years ago.

While I am fine with a map that doesn't give you waypoints or player markers, I would like a compass.

It's still in alpha and you can feel it. And I'm already not the best judge of immersive sims. But it seems to be a functional one I like that it has a cooking system.

Escape Everlit

Sci-fi mystery adventure game. Four people, who all visited the Everlit Building on the same day, wake up in an isolated island with little memory of how they got there. They discover technology that seems impossible in the house. For whatever reason, their dreams send them back in time, to the day of a violent tragedy on a train station

I'll address the elephant in the room first. Game uses a lot of AI art it seems. Some of the more consistent AI art but you can still see the seams. Would not be surprised to hear the translation was similar. It's got a very flat cadence, everyone talking like everyone else in plain terms. Which is sad because I do like some of what's going on here. Of course that's also because I am a sucker for this kind of mystery.

Promise with really big drawbacks. Not sure what to do with this one.

Glitch Dungeon Crystal

The world is falling into glitched corruption. You play as a tiny babushka who doesn't really know what's going on but has just discovered this place and it's filthy. Use your broom to clean up this place and maybe save the world.

A puzzle platformer. Being an old grandma your jump isn't worth writing home about, so you have to use a limited number of spells as well as NPC behaviors to get around. Some spells include one that lets you coyote-style walk off a ledge and keep going, as if there was still ground beneath you, another lets you high jump and float downward, another lets you climb walls, and one lets you go through enemies. I assume they'll be more in the full game. NPC behaviors include fishing frogs that pull you up from their lines and insects that will dig down holes, for some examples.

On one hand I do like the freedom of movement all these systems give you. It feels like there's very little aside from the limits to your own ingenuity to go OOB or at least reach seemingly unintended places. The problems so far is that the game isn't rewarding me for doing so yet, and that movement often requires mid-jump spell switching, which is easy to screw up, but also adds a bit of fun execution to the mix.

Becrowned

I didn't finish this one, not because it was too scary but because poor health item management led to me being painted in a corner. That isn't to say it isn't scary. It does succeed at that. Got a good jumps and some dread out of me.

It is kind of defused when you die and your character ragdolls. Seeing him flail kinda robs the moment of its tension.

It cribs very liberally from Silent Hill 2 but if I were to knock it for that I'd have to knock like a good 80% of the indie survival horror scene.

The demo takes place in a Fucked Up Asylum, but thankfully it's not going straight for "oooh scary crazy people." It's not a huge upgrade but it's going for something more personal than that.

Biggest complaint is that enemy spawns don't reset after you leave the room. You run away from the enemy, enter a door, do whatever you planned to do in said room, step out again and oops they're right there taking a swing at you.

Thanks to the current Steam Next Fest, a lot of recently premiered games are getting demos for people to try out & one that I’ve been particularly excited for & enjoying is the demo for All In Abyss: Judge The Fake!

The game is a mixture of Visual Novel with Poker (Texas Hold ‘Em) gameplay taking cues from Balatro & Gambling anime/manga (ie Kaiji, Akagi, Usogui & Kakegurui). You play an extremely confident gambler named Asuha who seeks to challenge a dystopian hierarchy where those outside of the wealthy 1% can hope for little more than struggling through the slums that exist outside of the gilded cage of the elites. The most lauded amongst the elite class are a coven of powerful witches whose gambling prowess is legendary. Yet, with confidence bordering on lunacy, Asuha throws down the gauntlet, risking her life to defeat them all with her skill & even suggesting that the unimpeachable successes of the witches might not have been obtained legitimately.

The slick Texas Hold ‘Em gameplay is supplemented with varied skills Asuha can learn that remind me a lot of similar abilities from Danganronpa that grant perks to help hone your strategic choices such as one that passively grants you a vague notion of the opponent’s hand and an active resource-costing skill that compels an enemy to resist folding their hand.

The polished presentation of the game is stellar but despite the fact that I personally enjoy poker enough to play an entire game about it, Hold ‘Em at this point seems to be the singular gambling format for the whole experience. The game sadly isn’t a varied Clubhouse Games affair so I can see people being put off if they personally don’t really like poker.

For me however, considering the game itself & the fact that it’s another terrific Steam Deck experience, at this point I’m absolutely certain the game will be a Day One purchase for me.
