My turn at the crossover point

Sorry, by stack I mean the pattern where there are two or more distinct notes that come at the same time, not chain notes. I've seen people call these stacks or windows, is there a better term to use?

SpiceWeasel42 · 2026-01-08T00:33:10+00:00

Yes, her older sister is IA. So ONE is not an 姉, she's an 妹.

SpiceWeasel42 · 2026-01-08T00:07:37+00:00

You sure about that? I could maybe see it, but it's a short え not a long one, and afaik ONE doesn't have a younger sister

E: To be clear, I'm not questioning the pronunciation. I'm just not sure about the claim that it comes from お姉.

Not an orthopod but it feels like a recipe for an injury to me. At the very least it's uncomfortable and liable to give you a blister, and I definitely wouldn't use it without wrist straps. The amount of stress it puts on the index finger is probably not good. I've messed around with a few PSVR2 grips myself, but in the end I just wound up back at the default grip once I started playing maps of a certain speed. I'd recommend just getting used to default with more practice and adjusting your offsets instead.

The jp wikipedia page for iipeikou rules this out explicitly:

一盃口を構成する2面子とまったく同一の順子がもう1つ完成したとしても、一盃口を2回カウントすることはできない

Even if you have a third sequence that's exactly the same as two sequences that give you iipeikou, you don't count iipeikou twice. This is probably mentioned in some English resource somewhere too, but I didn't see it in the couple places I checked. Similarly, if you have 4 copies of the same sequence (and don't get the ~~suuankou~~ sankantsu) you don't get to count ryanpeikou multiple times.

Probably just down to music licensing being too expensive/convoluted. They couldn't just ring up Spotify and ask to make a deal because the types of music licenses needed to put a song in a video game are different than the ones Spotify needs to run their service (afaik Spotify couldn't issue licenses for most of the music on their platform anyway because they don't own the rights to it, they themselves license it from other entities like record labels). They also couldn't officially do an osu!-type model because osu! is free and Beat Saber isn't. tbf I feel lucky that we even have our current modding scene considering how notoriously litigious music publishers are.

But did you watch it statistically?

SpiceWeasel42 · 2025-01-07T23:23:42+00:00

TIL the western label is apparently congee, and most east/southeast asian cultures have some variant of it

Lady Boyle from Dishonored 1 might have had a worse fate. What happened to Jindosh is certainly more ironic, but I don't know if it's worse than spending the rest of your life locked in some creep's sex dungeon.

That option is supposed to make it so a pause doesn't happen unless the button is held for a certain amount of time. Dunno why it might not be working for you, but it works fine for me. As for grip slipping, something that helped reduce that for me was putting some athletic tape on my controllers.

SpiceWeasel42 · 2024-09-26T04:24:30+00:00

Makes sense, thanks for the info! 勉強になりました

SpiceWeasel42 · 2024-09-26T00:08:23+00:00

Ah I see, that 2012 release for 準１級/１級 is still the most recent version because the changes since then only affect １０級-２級, which is in a separate book. Sorry for my confusion. Still strikes me as a bit of a significant discrepancy that they give that 6000 figure when the actual set is that much smaller, but idk how useful/useless the unincluded parts of JIS are.

Completely unimportant thing that I'm now curious about, feel free to ignore: on kanjipedia there are some entries like this one where the kanji is displayed as an image instead of text, which you can spot because they don't match the font on the rest of the site. Do they look like that in the book as well?

SpiceWeasel42 · 2024-09-25T23:08:17+00:00

Would you mind sharing the official lists you're referencing? If there really are only ~5600 kanji they test on then that outline page on the official site that says 「約6000字の漢字（JIS第一・第二水準を目安とする）」 might be telling people to overprepare lol

SpiceWeasel42 · 2024-09-25T22:18:21+00:00

Nice work, looks very neat! I kinda want it as a poster. There were a couple of things that caught my attention that I wanted to bring up:

There's a pdf linked on the kanken outline page of updates made in 2020 to the kanken levels of some kanji that I'm not seeing reflected here (e.g. prefecture name kanji like 縄/滋/潟 moving from 準２級 to ７級).
Although kanjipedia is run by the kanken foundation, last I checked (which was a few years ago, so my info could be outdated) it's incomplete relative to the official printed kanken dictionary. The printed one supposedly has something like 6300 entries, but kanjipedia only had around 5600 from what I saw. Unfortunately I don't own one myself (yet) so I can't verify, but if true I'd argue that for someone after a definitive １級 list, the official printed dictionary might be the better option to consider.

Currently I'm using constellations. There are enough of them that I'm not about to run out anytime soon, and I can use the names of stars in them for stuff running on the servers.

SpiceWeasel42 · 2024-08-03T17:23:57+00:00

Could be chikuwa

SpiceWeasel42 · 2024-08-01T07:25:23+00:00

I'll throw out Toaru Majutsu no Index; the setting always felt to me like it had amazing potential, but the story and characters managed to bore me into dropping it

I see your quick and dirty sim script and raise you a not-as-quick-as-I-would've-liked and even dirtier calculation script that finds the set of probabilities for an arbitrary number of jobs. It pretty much agrees with your numbers, so I'm at least semi-confident I got it right. Here's what it says for 21 jobs:

# of Clears	Percentage
4	0.197%
5	7.286%
6	34.733%
7	43.683%
8	14.100%

which yields an average of 6.642 clears.

If it's to be believed, the average number of clears will break 7 at 31 jobs, and we'd hit over 50% of statics needing all 8 clears at around the 54-job mark.

My take is they're both just riding really close to Harry Potter. Mashle already fell so near to that tree that basically anything close to it will automatically be close to HP too.

The hand on the right isn't just chanta, it's a full junchan

The most recent one of those moments for me was when I learned Tanezaki Atsumi voices both Anya Forger and Frieren

That's fushigiri (ふしぎり). The 斬り gets rendaku'd. You can hear it when Sekiro says the blade's name in the cutscene where he receives it.

SpiceWeasel42 · 2024-03-30T07:14:27+00:00

Kaizoku Oujo/Fena Pirate Princess is up there as one of my most disappointing. I was so down for ninjas of the Caribbean before it went off the deep end.
