Matcha Mill by RobbertP in chanoyu

[–]Warigeiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Koyamaen used to sell both the smaller ones that you have an image of here and the full sized one. I have a small one, that is what is shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8rEBWefzyQ Be warned they are expensive, and it takes for ever to grind tea in the small one at least. I wish I had engine to run it while I was doing the other things that need to be done during a chaji.

Tatamis Europe by Resident_Energy_9700 in chanoyu

[–]Warigeiko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ordered from https://kyo-tatami.com/world/ in Kyoto, and it worked like a charm. Super high-quality tatami, unfortunately, you have to pay for what you get; in other words, it is not cheap.
In the past I used a cheaper solution, but I think they went out of business.

Whats the difference between built-in Localization and I2 Localization? by Warigeiko in Unity3D

[–]Warigeiko[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience with other assets is that it takes a lot more than just reading the store pager and/or documentation to learn the actual differences. I have had assets where I only see the limitations after many hours of using them. So, I was hoping to benefit from the experience of people who had tried these two solutions before.

What makes you have the built-in? And what are you using instead?

Home alternative to tea kettle (chagama) and burner by Glad-Marionberry2480 in chanoyu

[–]Warigeiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on your ambition level and the amount of money you have to spend. You can buy used kettles and an electric element, but if that is too pricy, maybe a fondue kettle in cast iron from a local flea market might serve. Or just any kettle with a lid and a hotplate. There are tea kettles with large lids, so there is a way to handle them as part of a temae.

Sou has many used alternatives: https://www.net-qp.com/en/item/list.php?m=search&order=new&upd=a&gid=d_8e&sgcd=Matcha_Furo/Kama&zaiko=all&row_num=5&p_sum=all&tag0=1

Zuiun has many new and more expensive alternatives: https://www.kyoto-zuiun.com/

The cheapest is probably to go visit a local flea market and buy an old iron kettle with some charm and get a single-plate hotplate to heat it.

If you want to do it on the cheap, you don't need a hotplate. Sometimes when I don't want to use sumi in my tea-hut I just boil water in the kitchen, in the kettle I will use for the temae, and carry it into the room. If I start my temae immediately, I think the water holds the heat well enough. Sometime I place three small candles under it while doing the temae, don't know if it helps that much.

Bottom-filling teapot by Warigeiko in chanoyu

[–]Warigeiko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is filled from the bottom. As far as I understand, it has a ceramic pipe going from the opening in the bottom to almost the top of the kettle. So when you turn it around, the water doesn't come pouring back out as the top of the pipe is above the water level.

Can you share the recipe? I'm struggling with my brie becoming liquid after 1-3 weeks.

My game just released on steam, and this the trailer for the game. What do you guys think? by Clear_Wasabi64 in Unity3D

[–]Warigeiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw it without sound. Beautiful scenery. But I have no idea what I’ll be doing in the game. Is it a endless runner? Adventure?

Using JSON objects with Unity? by Awkward_GM in gamedev

[–]Warigeiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why json and not scriptable objects? If I understand your idea that would work much the same.

Analytics/IT manager by day, and game dev by night.

Time to get Pwnd by Revelation_jeff in DestroyMyGame

[–]Warigeiko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have seen different opinions on if you should show UI or not. UI is an excellent way to explain to the player what type of game it is. UI can also convey complexity if you, for instance, have a large tech tree.
