Checkout my YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@RPGRekiMusic . published on 2023-10-20 It's time for another Light Doman Open! This is the ninth Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light, feel free to make an alt character on Light, or Chaos, to join. And since I need some image I can connect to this tournament, I dug out some bad pun: 来冬 の 麻雀, raitou no… published on 2022-11-15 MahjongSoul is still around and it's big. In 2019, just like everyone else, I jumped on the hype. At first, it looked nice. Then, I started to dislike it. With each little thing, I liked it less. In 2021, I was still around, since everyone else is still on it… Just like with Facebook… published on 2022-11-02 TLDR: No, we didn't. Someone just tried to scam us. So today I opened my mail client to see a mail with the subject “Your Site Has Been Compromised”. I'm subscribed to haveibeenpwned.com, so I thought, what service got hacked this time? Opening the mail, my client asked for sending a read… published on 2022-09-22 This post was originally published in 2021 and was refreshed and updated with current information. I don't usually speak or write much about my faith. This post contains a lot of views people might disagree with, but these views I have are the result of me having actually engaged with my… published on 2022-09-04 Well, I'm in my early 30s and I suddenly got that urge to get me some stuff couldn't have when I was younger. So I did some research into what ever happened with magnetic-optical-technology, especially the Sony MiniDisc. published on 2022-08-27 It's time for another Light Doman Open! This is the eight Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light, feel free to make an alt character on Light, or Chaos, to join. This will be the first tournament after Final Fantasy XIV adds Data Centre Travel, let's see how well it works for us. And since… published on 2022-02-21 You might have noticed I pushed out Amauga onto some platforms, and then removed it from some platforms again. I think details about the platforms should be interesting enough for a blog post. Why would I cross-post? People have their favourite platform, so they can read wherever they like. I should not take too… published on 2022-02-14 For some reason, some memories of my time at school surfaced. While most people tend to look fondly to their time at school, I don't. Sure, there have been fun times, but for the most part, it wasn't. What could have been so bad? Bullying, yes, this post is about bullying. published on 2022-02-01 We now have the year of the water tiger. published on 2021-11-22 In 2015, I had already taken a look at PokéMMO: while it was always full it was still very incomplete. There was no NPC collision, but if you had a ROM of PokéMon HeartGold or SoulSilver in addition to the required PokéMon FireRed US 1.0, you could have a PokéMon following… published on 2021-11-15 A new year, a new tournament! This time, it's on the weekend of the Lunar New Year! This is the seventh Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light, feel free to make an alt to join. As before, this tournament is a player event: it is not affiliated with FFXIV etc. Water Tiger Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light — 2022 New Year's Tournament published on 2021-11-08 People seem to be confused by the software I use — it seems so random. I have made both good and bad experiences with both closed source and open source software. To me, practicability is the most important thing to when using software. So I stick with whatever works best for me. published on 2021-10-29 It's rather strange, since leaving uni, people tend to ask me if I'm vegetarian or vegan, just because I happen to pick up some vegan products while grocery shopping, especially when it's tofu. I fill my tofu with minced meat, so no, I'm not. To me, vegan sweets and the like are… published on 2021-10-09 As you might have noticed, this page has moved to a new domain: reki.wtf. RIP search engine rankings. Why did I move? Actually, I had a lot of reasons… The Past Let's start with the old domain: 0xreki.de. It was just based on the handle I commonly use: 0xReki. It's a strange handle, I know.… published on 2021-08-23 So I've recently switched from Windows 10 to Arch Linux as my main OS. It's perfect for me, but I'm also a techie: I can customize my setup however I like. WINE and Proton development got quite far recently, so I can still play my games. If they need some fixes, I can… published on 2021-07-20 These days, there's a lot of English language options for Riichi Mahjong. But one thing that's always seems different is how the yaku are translated. It can lead to confusion when switching clients. To help with that, here is a list of terms used in EMA, WRC, SEGA NET MJ, Nintendo Clubhouse Games,… published on 2021-07-12 It's time for another Light Doman Open! This is the sixth Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light, feel free to make an alt character on Light, or Chaos, to join. This will be the first tournament after Final Fantasy XIV adds Data Centre Travel, let's see how well it works for us. And since… published on 2021-07-08 So when introducing people Riichi Mahjong, the most common questions I get are: “Where do I get a set?” “How much is a set?” Usually, people are shocked to hear the sets I use are imported and about upwards of 200 bucks, but then as an advanced player, one can… published on 2021-06-23 This is just what I currently use; I tend to replace tools with other tools if they provide me with better user experience. If you have suggestions, feel free to reach out. I used to write most of the stuff in Google Docs. I only did that, so I could use my… published on 2021-06-10 Since January 2019, Doman Mahjong is a one of the Games you can play in the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy XIV. That's more than 2 years now! From what I have seen, at least is the West, it had a very rocky path to being an accepted addition to the game. … published on 2021-06-05 I merged my two pages into one. If everything went as I expected, nothing should notably change. If you notice something amiss, please send me a message. published on 2021-02-03 While you're here, would you tell me how you found this page? published on 2021-01-06 TLDR: Mahjong Sets with non-standard look are nothing new. Unique sets go “simple” branding to completely changing the look and/or rules. The most lazy change is just putting some branding onto the back of the tiles. But to me, those are also the most boring ones — changes in the tile faces… published on 2021-01-01 A new year, a new tournament! This time, it's on the weekend of the Lunar New Year! This is the fifth Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light, feel free to make an alt to join. As before, this tournament is a player event: it is not affiliated with FFXIV etc. Metal Ox Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light — 2021 New Year's Tournament published on 2020-11-21 Hey RPGReki here! Don't worry, I'm still around. I hope you are doing fine, too. I had some technical difficulties: I got a new old laptop and the hard drive I used failed. Usually, I have everything in a private git repository. My site automatically gets rebuilt every time I push a change. So… published on 2020-11-12 Coders use monospaced fonts. That's just how things are. It makes it easier to align code. But not all monospaced fonts are equally well suited for coding. So what makes them different? Why should I choose one font over the other? Let's have a look! Font Features Let's call it features: what do I need from… published on 2020-10-22 I've restructured the site. Redirects should be pointing to the correct pages. If not, send me a message. published on 2020-10-12 No, this isn't a mahjong client. It's not old software, either. But I do have a third hobby, aside from Riichi Mahjong and Final Fantasy XIV. And it's Creative Writing. If you haven't seen it yet, I write a Web Novel called Crystal Down. While I do have volunteers and commenters that help me with… published on 2020-10-09 I have written about old software before. I have written about Mahjong before. But I haven't done both at the same time! Let's talk about “Shanghai: Dynasty”. published on 2020-09-18 It was time for another Light Doman Open! This was the fourth Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light, with 31 participants from 14 countries. As always, this was a player event: it is not affiliated with FFXIV etc. published on 2020-08-07 There's a new Riichi Mahjong platform on Steam: Mahjong Nagomi. On the first glance, it looks decent. So let's dive right in! published on 2020-06-10 The Final Fantasy XIV Companion App has been released for almost two years now. How is my experience with the App until now? Why do I still use it? Is it even worth the time? I mean, it's been released two years ago. published on 2020-06-05 When “Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics” was announced, I was hyped to hear Riichi Mahjong would be included among the games. “I hope this is going to be good,” is what came to my mind. Why? Lots of people will buy it and get exposed to Riichi, which means more potential players… A Look At Riichi Mahjong in Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics published on 2020-05-13 Just as things are starting to take off again, I'm struck with bad news: it seems my domain provider haven't paid their bills and my domains were released. Good thing is DENIC, i. e. the authority for .de domains, has a system in place that helps against others snatching those domains. But it also means I have to take care of it soon: finding a new provider etc. And pay the bill for a new domain subscription. (Damn…) Why do I use .de domains? I'm from Germany and that's the cheapest domain I can get that doesn't look dodgy. Anyway, I'm hoping I can get back to writing soon. Crystal Down Chapter 1-45 will release on 2020-05-18 to the public. published on 2020-05-01 I wasn't planning on having another tournament till 2020 Q3. But since most of us are at home let's have another tournament! This is the third Doman Mahjong Tournament on Light, feel free to make an alt to join. As before, this tournament is a player event: it is not affiliated with FFXIV… published on 2019-12-22 This blog seems like it's turning into “Things I Hate”… Whatever… So I was posting chapters of my Web Novel Crystal Down to Scribble Hub when I ran into a wall that is the WYSIWYG Editor they have. I was not exactly over the moon to learn they don't have a… published on 2019-11-22 This year, I was actually observing the multiple announcements of new or coming games. Each time when it was something I might be interested in, I had the same thoughts: published on 2019-09-09 Saturday, September 7th, 2019, it's about noon. An enthusiastic “Tsumo!” can be heard in the rooms of Games Unplugged at Connichi in Kassel. If you have been at Connichi last weekend probably knows about it: we have been invited to Connichi 2019 in Kassel to show the world the joys of… published on 2019-07-30 Over time, you notice people don't like updating their software. Why is that? Software updates fix bugs and security flaws or they can add new exciting features. Why wouldn't you want them?! There are multiple reasons, and it's usually the developer's fault. published on 2019-05-22 Eurovision week is over. Thanks to Tel Aviv, ESC 2019 was a nice show. Congratulations to the Netherlands! But I'm not here to write about who won and who lost or who should have won. This is about the Eurovision App and how it gets advertised in the show and why it's a scam. During… published on 2019-03-12 You might have noticed I like playing Riichi Mahjong. Good clients are so rare. This is by no means an exhaustive list. It's just what I have tried before and/or regularly use. If you have other clients feel free to leave a comment. Desktop Clients Tenhou (天鳳) Desktop Tenhou is still the go-to client… published on 2019-02-24 The last few days, YouTube just went completely haywire. While I get the increase of automated copyright claims and strikes, possibly in preparation of article 13 in the EU. Some channels just got taken down for apparently not abiding by YouTube Terms of Service. While I initially thought it was just a quirk… published on 2019-02-07 I have old Windows games running. Some games, especially foreign ones, require the correct locale set to be even installed and run. What's a locale? published on 2018-10-09 I loved the first Mario Party for the Nintendo 64. But over the years, I have come to hate Mario Party series: every instalment just kept getting worse. The last one I actually tried was one for the Wii. That was like the nail in the coffin for me with the series. Now,… published on 2017-10-10 Well, I suddenly got the urge to play Anno 1602: Creation of a New World (1600 A.D. in North America and Australia) again. While I could just play any current instalments of the series, I do miss something quite vital in those: the micromanagement of crop-growing areas is not even possible in those. As a… published on 2017-05-19 My mobile internet contract was about to end, so it was time to extend it and while doing that getting a new tablet. Up until now I've only had Android tablets: Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy Tab A. But as I'm not afraid to try out new stuff I thought: “Try… published on 2016-07-26 Ein Zombie kommt aus dem Grab wieder heraus gekrochen. published on 2016-06-02 Wir schreiben 2020. Das Internet, so wie wir es in den 2010er kannten, ist tot: seit ein paar Jahren werden bei allen Suchmaschinen Webseiten, die in irgendeiner Form regierungskritisch sein könnten, ausgelistet — die Webseiten sind mit z.B. Google nicht mehr aufzufinden. published on 2016-03-10 Werbung im Internet hat sein Vor- und Nachteile. Bei einer idealen Seitennutzer-Seitenbetreiber-Beziehung, spricht für Werbung, dass die, die die Werbung einblenden, damit Geld verdienen können. published on 2016-03-05 Nach einem Bericht von TechCrunch stand Microsoft kurz vor der Übernahme von Slack, die dann doch von Bill Gates und Vorstandschef Satya Nadella gekippt wurde. published on 2014-07-26 “Golden Sun: Dark Dawn” is a RPG made by Camelot which was released 2010 for Nintendo DS and sequel to “Golden Sun: The Lost Age”. 30 years after the events of “Golden Sun: The Lost Age”, the descendants of the Warriors of Vale set out on a journey for a simple…
