For all the speculation about Red Ventures, its also entirely possible that they are being overall supportive of the site and giving Jeff the resources he needs to make something cool and new. However, at the same time, maybe they said they weren't going to open a new East coast office, so Alex and Vinny would need to either stream from home forever or move back West and neither wanted that. And Brad, feeling kinda burned out about games the past few years, decided that if Alex and Vinny were leaving this would be a good chance for him to go too.

That's all baseless speculation of course. But to me it seems just as likely as any speculation about Red Ventures trying to destroy their own assets.

@franzlska: Thanks. I thought both of those were the case, but I wasn't positive.

One other thing, one time the Soul client gave me the option to call a closed Kan after I had called Richii. I declined since I wasn't sure what it would do; like if it would "break" Richii or something. But it sounds like its safe to do and I wouldn't lose Yaku over it?

Couple questions I haven't been able to figure out the answers to from online guides (since the terminology is so confusing sometimes):

1) If I have a closed hand and draw a 4th tile and call 'Kan', is my hand still closed?

2) If I decline to call Richii, can I still call 'Ron' and win if the tile I need comes up? Is there an impact on scoring?

Slowed down my playing over the holidays; but I just hit Adept 2 which is a big milestone for me. Kinda fee like I'm at the point where I should figure out what fu actually are. I generally understand what the low value, sub-2k point hands are, but I can't really tell why anything in the range of 3,600 to 8,000 is what it is.

Also, I paid for that $5 month long thing as a way to give the game a bit of money for all the time I put into it. Between it and a couple freebies from the event, I think I've done 7 or 8 summons. Every single one has been a blue item. #Feelsbad

I was a female V in a romance with Judy and went with the Panam ending where V goes back to her body. I was reasonably satisfied with how it went down, though sad about the folks I got killed during the final mission. It felt like the writers couldn't quite decide what tone the ending should have. One the hand, there's the "V has only 6 months left" thing, but on the other hand V and Panam both seem confident that they'll find a cure out in Arizona. And also Judy seems like she's getting ready for a long-term relationship with V, not a 6-month journey that ends in heartache.

Now personally, I do lean on the optimistic side. Alt doesn't know everything, she said so herself, and while I've read about the Arasaka ending, I don't see any guarantee that they're on the level. Maybe there is some solution out away from Night City.

My one complaint about the ending is that it made all of Takamura's Act 2 missions redundant, and left all the Arasaka plot threads dangling in a real weird way. Also, I had saved Takamura's life in the en of Act 2, so his end credits voice message to me felt real bad.

Also, I dunno about the other endings, but in this one the very final scene was in third person. Which tells me that CDPR fully understood that third person carries far more emotional weight than first person, and so it baffles me that they decided to make such a story-heavy game be in first person. Especially since, unlike some claims they made in the past, there wasn't really any gameplay need for it.

I hit Adept rank and I'm legit more excited than I have been by most video game achievements in a while.

I'd definitely be up for for some sort semi-regular tournament/friendly match. I've got tons of time so long as this pandemic lasts; though weekends in general would be better I think.

I knew this game client was kinda horny, but this event seems really horny. OTOH, I've already doubled my copper count (not that I know what it's used for, really) and have gotten my first gift. Which I gave to one of the two starter characters, no idea if that was the best use.

I'm basically just here for the mahjong itself, so I don't care about the rest. The one thing I really would like to unlock though is a change in background music, but I don't even know if that's a thing.

I also got a 16,000 point hand which is new record for me against real players. So that was fun. I don't really understand the scoring at all; except that an open hand with a dragon triplet and nothing else isn't worth much. Also, I managed to get a 7 pairs hand, which I was impressed by, but it didn't give me nearly the amount of points I expected.

I've been doing better recently; won 4 of my last 6 games I think. So far I find that its almost always a mistake to open my hand, but I think that's mostly because I haven't memorized enough of the Yaku that actually give you decent points.

Also, I've noticed myself too often falling into the trap of trying to go for 13 orphans when I have 7 or 8 of them in my starting hand. The odds of actually getting all of them are probably way too low for that to make sense.

So I was planning on throwing the game a few bucks; not for the gacha but because that's what I do when I'm enjoying a free game. Am I understanding right though that it costs $30 (!!) to get enough premium currency to just do a single 10-wish transaction? What kind of insane whale pricing is that?

Not sure how much I'll play, but I've been inspired by the series to give it a shot.
