I hate how anytime i'm doing something that isn't related to Japanese, I just feel terrible because I keep thinking 'you should be reading instead of wasting time doing x'

deserved it...

Is ordering from NLS or otonaJP ever worth it for us Yuropoors or are we stuck with overpriced shops based in Europe? I'm planning to order about 3 holes and some lube for a total of like $100. I live in Germany and to my knowledge we're pretty much guaranteed to get taxed an additional 19% if we order stuff from Asia. Having to pay 19% of the total price on top of ~$30 for shipping AND having to go pick up and potentially open my package in front of a customs worker seems like it's not worth the trouble. Where do my fellow Europeans living in countries with strict customs regulations order their holes?

>been eating shit for 2 weeks straight
>This game will be different
>Start as east, simocha riichi's early in the round
>Guess I'll defend. No use in being stupid here
>Haneman tsumo
Of fucking course... Well not all is lost. One can easily recover
>Tsumo in early rounds for most players, shit starting hands and draws on my end, defending, biding my time
>Finally see hope, early tenpai for my own dealer haneman with a strong ryanmen wait on the 5th turn
>Riichi instantly, time for a comeback!
>Kamicha riichi's right after
W-what!?
>deal into mangan, no way to salvage the game

What's endlessly frustrating is how I've been beating myself up for dumb mistakes that cost me many games recently. I mentally drilled myself to stop with the beginner errors like hopeless riichi and not pushing against a ready hand unless really worth it. I applied the knowledge, made the objectively correct decisions and ended up in fucking fourth

I'm seething with rage at how much consecutive bullshit has been thrown my way in recent times considering how successful I've been in this lobby over the last two months. I can't accept "shit luck" as an excuse, I'm going back to basics...

No chun
Only 12 tiles
Calling kokushi musou "rising sun" instead of it's accepted English name "thirteen orphans"


Also, one night of non-stop bullshit destroyed two weeks worth of gains. I am beyond mad.

I'm still having fun
