Cool game!!!!!
Just played it, forgot the name of it. Thank you for making this tutorial, now I understand in now
Thank you for watching! Hope you had fun playing this game during the festive season!
This is the best video I have seen in terms of it includes a more detailed explanation of Kong and wu. However, I play the app on wechat, apparently you can have hu and the game keeps going and you get a hu ×2 or hu ×(any number). So is that an "in-house", app specific rule?
Excellent tutorial with app.
Glad you found it helpful!
We had a lot of fun with servonauts especially with me falling 😂😂.
Indeed we did! 🤣
I'll probably get Black Myth Wukong in a few weeks, I was considering buying it for Christmas but I couldn't due to various reasons, and one fo them is the current price for PS5 Physical copy (a little too much) Games I've played during the year? Well, I played Ghost of Tsushima, Final Fantasy 16, Stellar Blade, Dead Space Remake and AstroBot! Worth mentioning that Astrobot was my favourite game of 2024 while Stellar Blade was my most played game through the year (270+ hours)!
Those are some amazing titles. 👍 Looking forward to a few releases that will be appearing in 2025 that will hopefully make it to my year end list!
Congratulations on reaching 1k subs! Hope that your channel will continue to grow! 😊
Thank you Felix! 😄
Those armors look cool af on female char, I might do one just for the style in the future.
How do I unlock each individual piece of layered armor? Like locations of monsters to hunt.
Most of them require you to simply hunt the main monsters for individual materials to unlock the actual armor sets. Once the main set is unlocked can you then make the layered pieces. There are a few pieces that are hidden behind specific quests but mostly just hunt the main monsters down!
I have to try the new Wilmot game. I'm having a great time with the first one. Also it amazes me how you find this type of games that almost nobody else talks about but I'm certainly looking for. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment. 😄 The indie scene is incredible with so much love that goes to creating these games that have a tendency to be overshadowed by larger companies with massive resources. Will look forward to sharing more cool games when I find them! 👀🙌
I just played two games online. First game I won every round, second I lost every round and everyone else got perfect hands. I have no idea what I’m doing
They should bring back one piece colabs and give the longsword or dual blade a layered 3 sword style set
Absolutely 💯 agree!
Any weapon suggestions that might fit
Best I have seen for a completely new player. Very clear definition of the different tile types and god overview of how a simple game proceeds. Great!

There is a variant of your build that needs a Chain Crit 5 ooo, but it offers slightly better defense. Replace GX Old Fatalis chest with GX Kushala chest, and Lagiacrus arms with GX Old Fatalis arms. Alternatively, if you have a Pierce Up 6 ooo talisman, you can use the full GX Old Fatalis set for all aforementioned skills plus Fleet Feet. You'd need regular Narga LBG for this for the two slots, though, unless you get a Pierce Up 6 Chain Crit 2 ooo or a Chain Crit 4 Pierce Up 4 ooo. I use the regular Narga LBG since I was lucky to get a Pierce Up 6 ooo, and hoo boy, I haven't looked back. Evade Extender is so useful, and Peak Performance is so easy to keep up as a gunner. The Horrible Luck is of no consequence unless you want certain materials or you're charm farming.
That's a very nice build you have there! Sadly talismans really are RNG though. 😅
Thanks for the explanation !!
thank you for the manual subtitles!
Thank you for your kind comment! Glad it helped! 😄
Published in 2006. Book on mah jong
On your first winning hand example you have 2 character pair, 6-7-8 char, bird 2-3 bamboo, you have a dot pair but then random 7 dot and 6 and 7 bamboo. How does the 7 dot and 6 and 7 bamboo make this a winner? Sorry, I am a novice.
Yeah that's not a final winning hand, but I suppose it's a good example of a hand that's 2 tiles away from winning... ie. needs to finish the 2 char or 2 dot pong, as well as the 5 or 8 bamboo chow
Thank you. I saw the mask as a joke and then looked up if someone actually made a Inouske build.
That boar mask was certainly put to good use. 🤣🤣🐗
Lol I love this quest.
Easily one of the best side quests! 🤣
Just started a new game in MHGU. Thanks for the info!
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy the game!
Can you win with having a set of 4 ….. like Kong I guess ? And how many Kongs can you have ? Because if you have set of 4 then you won’t get your double at the end
Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to win with all kongs in the same hand (maximum 4 Kong meld sets plus a pair of "eyes"), though that will be very rare as it'll depend on how lucky you are to be able to achieve this hand. You will still require a pair of "eyes" to win, as when the player makes a Kong meld, they are required to draw another tile from the other end of the wall (the same end where you patch your flower tiles instead of the part where you do the regular draw). I hope that answers your question!
Man Bloomtown looks so good. I wish I had more time to play more games. I miss out on so many games just due to being busy T.T
You and me both. 😅 Even for games featured in Steam Next Fest I don't get to play with all of them because of lack of time.

Moses y Pluto parece interesante. Me gusta la idea de usar los sentidos de los animales en la investigación :)
¡Sí! Es una mecánica de juego muy interesante en una novela visual. 👀
This is so helpful and easy to engage with, thanks a ton!
Thank you for your comment! Glad you found it helpful! 😄
How are honour tiles used and scored?
Thank you for your question!😃 Short answer: Honor tiles can be used in your hand but can only be formed into Pong melds (3 of a kind) or Kong (4 of a kind). Longer answer: On the other hand, it's a whole different beast to explain in the comment section, and scoring is slightly different as it depends on a few other factors, such as how many melds you have and what kind of hand you're building (e.g. do you have numerical runs etc), but I will try my best to answer them in a follow up video. 🀄
Appreciate the review, based on your feedback I'll pick this up. One thing - the video is somewhat jittery and was giving me a headache with frameskips. Capture card or upload, I'm not certain, but just wanted to call it out. Content-wise, however, no issues. Thanks again.
Thank you for the feedback and much appreciated. 🙏 Yes, you're right about the jitter - most likely cause is the video exporting. Will be aiming to improve on that visual quality!
Thank you so much for this video! You made everything incredibly easy to follow and understand 👍
Thank you and happy to hear you found it helpful! 😊 Now go win some games! 🤣

Brilliant! Can’t believe I forgot about the Buff Body~

Congrats on reaching 800! 🎉🎉
Thank you Felix! 😄
Very good
breaking wings is a knockdown. Breaking the tail shrinks the boulders. breaking the horns makes em shorter allowing you to more easily avoid certain attacks easier. In certain cases it may be worth bringing partbreaker over damage increasing skills. or earplugs/evade window or extender to avoid the charge after roar. or run alchemy for earplugs
remember to break its wing so you can flash it and iirc breaking its head weakens its fire a bit
break its tail asap its got 2 breaks each break weakens its poison

Oh wow! You look really fantastic! I really like Chun Li, she brings back memories of christmas and wonder when I would travel to near the sea to see my grand parents. The hotel we stayed in had a street fighter 2 arcade machine and i remember playing it so much. Just so much jpy and happiness. :)
Hahaha, thank you. 😊 Chun Li is one of the OG badass ladies in gaming and she really brings a lot of joy to arcade childhoods, so there'll always be people who will request photos. 🤣
@@TaintedMantis I'm not surprised, You make a great Chun li.
At 17:57, how do you tell we are seated in the north seat?
Thank you for your question. I will be using our point of view as point of reference. If we look to our right of the screen where the yellow box is, we see there are 3 dice and an S. This gives us 2 pieces of information: 1. The first piece of information that you're asking is who the dealer for that particular game is. The player who throws the dice is always the dealer, and the position of the dealer is always the East wind seat position. This then indicates the wind direction of all the other players in the process, and we always move in the anti-clockwise direction. This means that the player sitting across from us is in the South wind seat position, the player to our left the West position, and our seat in the North position. 2. The second piece of information we see is the S, this means we're playing the South wind round. For this, the wind position changes after every player has had the chance to be the dealer at least once (the nuance of it will be explained in a different video as it can get a little complicated if we do not see the visuals). Anyway, let me know if this helped!
At 13:55 I don't understand why that hand is a winning hand. There are: 2-2-6-7-8; 1-2-3-6-7;2-2-7. How does that make one win? Its like 2 sequences only

Note that valor dual blade also has a sick guardpoint ! The conditions to use it are the same (valor mode active, press R) and the timing is also roughly the same !
Yes it does! Not as many people play DB (despite it being my main in GU), but I should probably do a similar tutorial at some point. 🤣😅
Thank you for the cool review 🙂👍
After watching several Mahjong videos, I attest that this one is the best and easiest to understand. I am a new learner. Great job, Tainted Mantis.
Thank you for your kind comments! 😊
Hear, hear! Great job, Tainted!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! Definately gonna practice this now
Glad you found it helpful! Happy LS hunting! 👍
