Just finished reading all 9 books of The Expanse series. All I can say is I loved every page and every character. What an incredible saga, highly recommend!

Finally unlocked the good part of Fire Emblem.

I’ve returned to Bluesky to say that Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is that game and it makes me very happy to see the incredibly increased amounts of Melanin and Spanish influences.

"Rockstar spent years on the ground in Miami and surrounding areas for research" This is why I support better working conditions for games industry workers. No one should have to spend years in Miami.

Rolled credits on the True ending for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millenium Tales. I give it an 8.5/10. I had a lot of fun playing it and Team Asano did an incredible job with a new story. I really liked this game. (The image is the final illustration in true Asano fashion.)
An illustration that appears at the end of the game with Elliot and other characters around him. Elliot is holding Princess Heuria’s hand while the other characters stand around him. Faie the fairy is in the forefront looking at them and smiling.

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this
Millennial grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]

Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]

To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

Digital illustration of Phoenix and Ifrit tumbling down into the Apodytery. Phoenix falls first facing the other eikon one talon intertwined with one of Ifrit’s claws. That look at each other then phoenjx with blue and Ifrit with gold but both sharing in tears at the conflict. The apodytery below them is aflame with the Flames of Rebirth and Fallen/Ultima blue shining above. Text on the image says; and thus did our journey begin.
