Monster Hunter Stories 3 is out! Sometimes I feel weird customizing the protagonist (game dependent) but #MHS3 they gave us many options so I rolled with it. But I am one of those people where it takes me Forever to make it out of character customization. Sped up by using my FF14 WoL as a template

In regularly scheduled programming… Reigns rehauled for an official THE WITCHER version!? Okay that is gameplay wise a good bit of rehaul. Secondly, rather brilliant for game-Witcher nerds like myself (all three games thank you). However, people keep asking me what Reigns is! Queens edition, go!

I feel like I need my own tag so I can find tracks I have posted so I don’t repost. #CatDCafeSky? Good nuff “And every time that you're lonely/ Every time that you're feeling low, you should know/ I'll be there for you, l'll be there for you/“ 11/13 down & my fav 2 OW tracks left; a year waiting…😮‍💨

A snapshot from the Oh Wonder musical act website for their #OW10 initiative with their countdown for the 13 songs from their debut album they plan/ned to recompose with a high end modern setup versus the original “song a month” write and release goal of album from 10 years ago.
The duo have spoken about the limited instruments and recording tech they had when they worked on the original album so they relished the idea of a project to recompose and rerecord 13 of the original tracks.

The order with which they would approach the songs was not released. The final two tracks will be August and Sept 1st and then a release of the full OW 10 Years On album. Just like how they released Oh Wonder immediately after they released the final recorded track 10 years ago.

Poster (@forgecat bsky) is very irritated her very favorite two tracks are the last two to be done so she has been waiting for a literal year.

The image shows each song cover as it is released on the previous calendar spot. Only two spots remain.
