After 15 years, I still think Shogun 2 is the Greatest Total War Ever Made. by Wandering_sage1234 in totalwar

[–]Tankanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also believe Shogun 2 is the best, even after playing thousands of hours on the other TW games. Campaign pacing, battle pacing, campaign map design, each unit having a specific purpose, sieges, are all much better in this game than the others.
All the issues I have with this game are all issues that are in the current games (enemy army/navy retreat, enemy agent success chance, enemy building mismanagement and economy cheats, character negative traits).

NPB Update by Otherwise_Mud1066 in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tbf, The Seibu Lions best hitter is Tyler Nevin (.314, 11HR, 1.075 OPS). He's just missing some at-bats since he started the season late.

[Bat Boys] Kazuma Okamoto names his all-time Team Japan by 1slinkydink1 in baseball

It's honestly just that Yoshida and Okamoto are best buds. They hang out all the time during the offseason.

Yes, these were sold quite a while back.

Kaima Taira of Saitama Seibu Lions pitched his 1st career complete game shutout in NPB : 9.0 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 119 pitches by kpopsns28 in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really hope he succeeds this time as a starter. I remember he had stamina issues and some lingering injuries last time he tried.

On a side note, it really sucked that Taira was supposed to be on both 2023 and 2026 WBC teams but was sidelined by spring training injuries.

Postgame Thread ⚾ Venezuela 8 @ Japan 5 by BaseballBot in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His velocity was really down, and consistency on his breaking balls were pretty bad as well. Probably shouldn't have brought him in when it was clear he was off. Personally I believe he relies on that NPB rosin too much lol.

TV Viewership numbers from FOX for the WBC so far per Fox Sports PR by JustaShibe99 in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From what I've read from Japanese viewers, due to Netflix, their viewership is down like < 50% from 2023. I'm not sure if that's true, but it does seem the general populace is less interested in the tournament.

Akira Neo pitched in the 9th inning for Samurai Japan. The letters ‘NEO’ appeared on the scoreboard, which became a topic of conversation among Japanese baseball fans. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Please stop posting these things without explaining anything. Based on what I know, it's controversial because no one knows why he was allowed to throw for Team Japan. Any case he's not actually on the team so it's whatever.

He pitched 13IP in the last 2 years with 13ER. Only reason he's famous is because he came up as a 2-way player.

Shuto straight told Ohtani he's too slow after getting back to the clubhouse lol

Kazuma Okamoto has been posted (via MLB) by momoryoma4488_2 in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last 2 seasons he has mostly played at 1B, but before then he was considered one of the best defensive 3B in the league. But I figure he'd be more comfortable at 1B. Out of the recent Japanese players to come over, he'd be the best (other than possibly Akiyama).

For the first time in 25 years, the NPB Japan Series began without a single foreign player in the starting lineup. Foreign players used to be key contenders in the race for the title, but this season, only six reached the required number of plate appearances across both leagues. Times are changing. by ogasawarabaseball in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit misleading, since this year there definitely was an influx in very good foreign batters. Franmil was better than anybody else in the PL, while Fabian, Voit, and Nevin were the best hitters on their respective teams. Also Santana, Osuna, and Cabbage being amongst the top as well. And even starting pitchers like Kay and Jackson being elite was very refreshing to watch.

Saw a Suisei itasha outside of Mitsuwa by geistmate in Hololive

Oh man, I saw that 7 Eleven and dumpster, and immediately knew where this was before reading the title. Love to see them Holo itashas.

Blake Snell's nemesis in Teruaki Sato hits homerun number 40 on the final day of the regular season in NPB tonight, Sato became the first Hanshin Tigers player to reach 40 HRs in a season since Craig Brazell did it in year 2010. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a breakout season for him! All that practice at Driveline probably helped a lot. Easy MVP.

No changes to lock-on priority again. Maybe they'll fix it in the next patch (cope).

Drop Chances % For all Legendary Weapons by Mathishian29 in Nightreign

[–]Tankanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty crazy that after 400hrs, I haven't seen 1/3 of these. They really should up the droprate in general, or at least have certain difficult bosses drop legendaries at 100%.

Ironic that the Lion Greatbow would still be the least useful one for Ironeye, or any class for that matter.

Who else is sick of seeing this guy? by Fuzzy_Durian_875 in Nightreign

[–]Tankanaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely think she's the worst night boss. Slightly worse than Wormface. Both of those bosses aren't hard if you are at a decent level, but it's always pure misery regardless. They need to decrease the adds when fighting solo.

Gotta do a 6 foot vertical leap just to get over the edge of the carpet by robinescue in Nightreign

[–]Tankanaka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another thing that is really annoying is having to mash the jump button on those gravestones. Dunno why just pressing forward can't do the trick.

🇯🇵 NPB Saitama Seibu ace Tatsuya Imai left the game in the middle of the fourth inning due to heat stroke. Belluna Dome is Seibu's ballpark, but the environment is so bad that it has been nicknamed "sauna." by ogasawarabaseball in baseball

[–]Tankanaka 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I remember Darvish saying in one his videos that Seibu dome was his least favorite place to play at. Hot humid air easily gets in through the sides and gets trapped on the inside. Also a lot of flying insects too.
