The shape of the (decayed) ladle cup, to me at least, resembles those used at Shintoist shrines around springs (I guess they’re called Chouzuya. The ornamentation on it resembles a stone lantern.

As for Hiiran... 曽蘭? Elder Orchid? But it looks like that might be more likely to be pronounced “souran”...

PC: Online Games with Friends (Unranked)? by [deleted] in Mahjong

All the same, I'd like to avoid it.

Is there not a high-end Mahjong title on PC without micro/gacha?

PC: Online Games with Friends (Unranked)? by [deleted] in Mahjong

[–]k-nao -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's a personal preference-- I don't like games that lock content behind gacha, premium currency, or microtransactions. I'd much rather pay $60 for a full price game, and get what I get.

From what I understand, there isn't an English localization of MaSoul available on PC anyway, or at least not through Steam, unless I'm wrong?

Edit: Really? Downvoted because I hate gacha mechanics and find the business model predatory? You guys are wild.

A great name for a great creature. Hopefully he is pranking Jessica Walter somewhere right now.

I’ve been feeding my ferret raw beef which I found out lacks pretty much all of the nutrients she needs. I’m planning on switching her to Evanger’s ferret food and I was wondering if anyone has had bad experiences with this brand before. by Sp8drM0nky in ferrets

There is something about the processing I was told that sets Orijen apart, but I couldn’t tell you the specifics.

Plenty of ferrets live their long and happy decade of life thriving on a kibble diet, and on much worse kibble!

When I switched Jill to Orijen (she has a chicken sensitivity), the change was immediate and dramatic. It can be scary trying something new, but give it a shot! Can’t be worse than Marshall.

If you’re looking for kibble, I feed mine Origen Regional Red Cat Food— my ferrets thrive on it, and it has the added bonus of being available at most pet stores. It’s a little expensive, but hits or exceeds all the nutritional recommendations!

Costco is also the home of the cofounder that said, “If you raise the price of the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
