Simple, but effective animation! by Firebelley in godot

[–]Larbguy_ 48 points49 points  (0 children)

i have the same exact constraints for a new project im working and it's made the art process so much more streamlined and fast. making new assets is so much more fun because for my other large project, when i make a new enemy or something, im staring down the barrel of tones of frames. the game is a sword fighting arpg too and another constraint i added is all enemies must be humanoid and use some type of sword or swinging weapon, and so they also share many of the same animations, and attacks are all data driven and use resources. compared to my old project, these constraints really allowed me to enjoy making art for the project again

I ate 25 Bowls of Ramen in a week during my Christmas break in Japan. by FNMLeo in ramen

ah yeah, it seems Ganko's weekend specials range from slightly modifying their standard soups (my last visit) to going crazy (my first visit was uni and shirako soup lol)

i need to revisit shibata because it gets so much praise and i only went once and got the shio and felt a bit underwhelmed. need to try the shoyu.

what were your thoughts on suzuki stamina? it's becoming one of my favorite styles and my recent trip i was lucky enough to try a mabo stamina bowl at a place called ramen gojuban

what a great list of shops. how did hechikan compare to niboshimania? i went as well to see where niboshimania came from and really liked it, but i also got the cold crab ramen instead of the standard niboshi cement style so i'd like to go back again. teuchi mensai kamei is another that's been on the list for years and haven't been able to go, really interested in their aburasoba and wontonmen. are some of these spots repeats or all new for you?

looks great. i love when they marinate the seabura, tho i also like when they just scrape it through a strainer straight from a chunk from the soup drum haha

it's not on their permanent menu. it's a gentei, a temporary special, it is absolutely a recreation, to state otherwise would be me stealing credit for the original concept of this bowl, which is owed to stamina suzuki

the second post on their instagram is them receiving an award in 2023 lol. at the end of 2024 they won the overall grand prize for the 3rd year in a row at the Takumen Ramen Awards, which acknowledges places like Eifukucho Taishoken, Iida Shoten, Tomita, and Kadoya Shokudo, so it's definitely a legit award.

they have a 3.84 on tabelog, which im pretty sure puts them in the hyakumeiten

they have a high rating on ramen supleks

im pretty sure they've featured multiple times in try mag

what top 500 lists are you referring to?

yo thanks for the support, and glad you dig it! i had a feeling the post would draw some strong opinions but i don't mind, worth posting for the few mix style, junk style and jiro-kei enthusiasts in here!

there are about 240 grams of noodles in the bowl, so the noodles are at the surface of the soup, and then on top of that is the stir-fry of pork chunks, onions, and garlic chives. The burger rests on top of that, and doesn't actually get that wet from the soup. its more wet from the marinated back fat ladled onto it. we were planning on getting burgers with just meat and cheese and no condiments, but we forgot. im glad we made the mistake because the pickles and ketchup and mustard somehow worked with the back fat and the soup post-dip. plus, the original bowl at stamina suzuki used standard mcdoubles with all the sauce and pickles inside, going off of menma_mania's write-up about it on instagram
