i finished doing an updated reference of my explorers of sky team!! these guys live rent free in my head i like them a lot (some fun facts under the cut because i have too much to say about them)

circuit

was found by mello passed out on the beach, with no memories other than their name, and the fact they were once human…

had the scars on their horn and fin from the moment they woke up on the beach, and never figured out why they had them until they went to dark crater

the main navigator and also the cartographer of the group! they carry the wonder map with them, along with a feather pen and paper for mapping out the floors of mystery dungeons

was originally always the leader, but often now they will switch between themselves and mello depending on the situation

came up with the team name! they think it is very cool and nobody else except for mello agrees.

has a habit of rushing into fights without thinking, so they often need to duck behind mello for cover when things get dicey

only stores light things in their bag, like their paper and a few healing items in case of an emergency. they will also often hold onto items that need to be delivered to clients so they don't get mixed up with other equipment

they offered to carry mello's bag once and were immediately squished by it, and now they are permanently banned from carrying anything heavy.

mello

formed a team with circuit after the two joined wigglytuff's guild together

a lighter color than most mudkip! the 'splotchy' or spotty patterns she has are also a common trait of water types, possibly because it helps them blend into the water more

her gills are curved and her head fin is longer than normal, which causes it to fold over because of the extra weight. these are only aesthetic differences, and don't affect anything about their functionality!

keeps track of the job requests, usually has a bulleted list she keeps on her. likewise she also keeps an eye out for the items and/or pokemon they need to find in dungeons

has a fascination with all things ancient and mysterious. she has a growing collection of aged books, even in subjects she doesn't have much interest in.

also enjoys collecting various odd objects, and souvenirs from the places she's been! she decorates sharpedo bluff with them.

originally carried the bulk of items they found in dungeons, but after luna joined mello now only carries equipment (orbs, scarves, etc.), while luna carries treasure (boxes, poke, etc.)

one of her favorite hobbies is reading, she finds it's a good way to wind down after an exploration. recently, she has taken up journaling as well.

stripe

met circuit and mello when they explored sky peak together, and she joined the team soon after!

grew up in a colder climate, hence their extra fur

trained at marowak dojo following her joining the team, in an attempt to match the levels of circuit and mello. her brown bow is from marowak!

handles inventory management, took over for circuit who did it prior. she insists she doesn't mind, she finds it satisfying to do.

doesn't speak very often, except to people that they're comfortable with. because of her easygoing nature, she's often the first one other members of the team come to for advice!

has their own home where they live by themselves, but they stay at sharpedo bluff enough that they consider it their second home

one of her favorite spots is spinda's cafe, they enjoy sitting down and crowd watching. mello likes to join her sometimes!

stripe exclusively holds onto healing items like reviver seeds, so they're able to quickly grab one if someone is in a pinch.

mana

joined the team after they came to sharpedo bluff to return to the place they hatched!

has the same kind of splotchy patterning as mello! this is only by pure coincidence, though.

circuit and mello are very protective of mana following their illness when they were young, but they insist they are able to handle themselves.

has the occasional mischievous streak in which they find it entertaining to intentionally scare their parents. i wonder who they get that from…

being the most recent recruit to team epic squad, mana is still figuring out exactly where their specialties lie. but that doesn't mean they're not trying their best!

never quite figured out who exactly it was that left mana's egg alone in the middle of the ocean. circuit has some strongly worded things to say to them if they ever encountered them.

they view mello and circuit as their parents, and walrein is more like an uncle to them. they still see walrein on occasion when he comes to visit treasure town!

carries no bag, only their defense scarf. circuit and mello worry about them straining themselves, so they will usually not bring any items with them.

luna

joined the team after the fight at dark crater!

really not a fan of the team name, but also trying really hard not to be rude about it. she will often refer to it as 'team epic' for short.

not used to having casual conversations with pokemon, so she often will come across as stilted when speaking. instead of names she will default to referring to a pokemon by their position (ie the kecleon brothers are shopkeeps, chatot is head of intelligence, etc)

because of how long she's been around, she has a knack for spotting rare or unusual items! she is not particularly good at estimating monetary value, however.

having trouble figuring out how to relax now that she doesn't have to focus on thwarting any world-ending plots. the rest of the team has gradually been working on getting her to loosen up more

enjoys the company of the future trio, celebi in particular. they like to discuss "legendary pokemon things", as celebi puts it.

has reasons for joining the team beyond finding the work of exploration teams fascinating. she has not told anyone what those reasons are, though.

carries all the various treasure the team finds! she has a liking for any especially shiny objects.

also as a bonus for making it thru the fun facts heres the old reference i did of team epic squad (around 2021 i think??) which this one was a redraw of! (and i also added luna)

[tgrailwar-zero]

Hm. Well. We had been working with Pretender not that long ago, and we saw Alter Ego around if that is helpful. They were both with us in the Blade tomb.

AVENGER: "I understand that. Pretender made contact with me shortly after the issue with the Beast was resolved. However, I lost contact with them afterwards. Shortly after Alter-Ego and Pretender returned to our base camp."

NERO: "Hm, I suppose the genre is a worthwhile thing to consider..."

AVENGER: "This is what I don't have time for. I need answers, not distractions!"

Like a surge of violent flame, his mana twisted and burned around his form. Pure, incandescent rage made manifest for a brief moment.

He grit his teeth, shaking his head, calming himself- on the surface, at least.

AVENGER: "I understand that you want to help, but--"

MUSASHI: "You may as well let them. What's the harm? Like you said, we aren't participants in the War, so it's not like you're divulging information to the opposing team."

He thought for a moment.

AVENGER: "...Very well. Even if you cannot help, I can provide a 'status update'."

AVENGER: "A virus swept through our camp. It began swallowing everyone, consuming. Slowly, agonizingly. Our Attack Programs turned against us, and our camp fell into corruption. I started fighting back, but it went into a blur… and the next thing I knew, I came to in the rubble of our base. All of my allies were gone, and when I checked the map that MoonCancer had developed..."

AVENGER: "...The Red Faction had taken control of the Gossamer Coast and Fugue Hamlet, the two adjacent areas without a Lair Servant. One third of the Solar Cell under their control, and six out of seven of the enemy Servants missing. Presumably destroyed. In almost every situation, this could be considered 'checkmate'."

PRETENDER. FOREIGNER. MOONCANCER. ALTER-EGO. GUNNER. Even RULER.

Just... gone.

In other words, the War was essentially over. In the blink of an eye, by the decree of some horrifying power, at least six incredibly powerful Servants.

And that also meant that AVENGER was the last one. The final spark of the Blue Faction.

CONSTANTINE: "In less than a day, the entire foundation of the Holy Grail War was shattered… what kind of terrifying ability is that?"

AVENGER: "I don't care how terrifying it may be. I will destroy the Red Faction for what they've done. If they wish to stoke the flames of the Avenger, then so be it."

AVENGER: "After all, my allies are gone, and they've acquired a large swath of territory without anyone to push them back. Good. That is very good."

AVENGER: "After all, under such odds difficult, the Grim Reaper only flourishes."

KUKULKAN: "…If a Servant could pull off something like that, wouldn't going by yourself be basically suicide...? There's no way you're coming back from a battle like that, yes?"

NERO: "Hm..."

NERO: "Mm. Right. Give me that."

She snatched the Memory Disk, stepping off to the side as the rest of the Servants talked amongst themselves.

AVENGER: "You--"

SIGURD: "Before things get out of hand, allow me to commend the astuteness of the observation. Almost entirely correct, though there is no such thing is 'unlimited energy'."

The sound of footsteps, heavy and purposeful, cut through along with the voice of the Lord of the Nameless City.

SIGURD: "The Master is correct, and it ties into what I wished to speak to you all about after the celebration. The purpose of the 'Solar Holy Grail War'-- no, the Theurgical Holy Grail War is to cultivate and grant energy to a grand Solar Divinity within the Solar Cell. A destructive force strong enough to counteract the threat on the Moon's surface."

[imagibunny]

hi i ended up thinking of a story that works best as a game so.

this'll get updated more as i add more but i'm sorry

elenor - 9 years old - she/her - birthday ???

voice claim: alisha weir (matilda 2022) a small child who goes out on various misadventures and travels around with whatever means she can. she's polite and respectful, and often too trusting for her own good. has made various friends through her travels and feels awful bad about leaving, but she can't stay long!! there's so much to do!!

tiny thing in an oversized trenchcoat and a nightgown and rainboots, and the only thing on her back is the backpack her mother left her. it manages to fit quite a lot for a small bag?

her mother vanished and all she left behind was a map, so elenor is on a quest to follow the map and see where it leads

-natural born magic users are rare and most people in this world use magic via a tool or amulet. elenor and her mom are natural magic users -elenor's mom went missing and all she left behind was a map and her spacious bag. -elenor isn't particularly great at magic, she's nine. but she knows enough to do some small spells. the limited knowledge she has would force players to get creative (using a levitation spell to lift latched on loot boxes, tripping jinxes to run away from guards, small elementary things) -her full name is elenor ruby grace -loot boxes scattered around contain food to either heal or restore elenor's mana (which would be shown in a gem/meter near the top) -different towns have different minigames to earn money to spend at the shops (cosmetic changes like new a new coat or similar, or food) -not all npcs are friendly! be careful of people who seem suspicious, they will try to grab you and force you to fight your way out -different spells use different amounts of mana. small spells like magic bullets don't cost much and can be used in frequent succession. larger spells like causing a gust of wind uses more and there for players should be careful when using that (different spells are used by pressing different buttons on a gamepad or on the keyboard) -elenor's umbrella acts as a way for her to mask magic usage and not get caught -cosmetic changes are totally optional except for a mountain town you have to pass through. to get there you need to go through a portal, but due to dangerously low temps (and the fact you play as a child who's all alone) the person in charge of the portal will not let you go through without proper attire, aka a winter outfit you can get from them free of charge once you tell them ur ready)

different npcs:

- aunt victoria; a close family friend who runs an inn. due to a spell that was placed on the building you can run into her inn in any town for a quick rest. magical object is a broom. - mr nobank; one of 2 traveling salespeople you can meet. he sells all sorts of bits and bobs, usually for a high price but he's willing to trade as well. has no magical object - ms nobank; the other traveling salesperson you can meet. is nicer than her brother and is willing to give you one item from her cart if you do a small quest for her. magical object is a pen. - edith/edie grace; elenor's mother. a kind hearted woman who prefer to keep to herself in the old house outside of town with her daughter, she was a good person and great mother. one day she vanished with no word or warning, leaving behind only a never ending bag and a map to the capitol. used the umbrella to mask her magic usage.

Hari-Hari Pergi Kondangan.

Pontianak. 07:18. 17122023.

Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiim.

Alhamdulillahilladzi bini'matihi tattimush shalihaat.

Muhasabah mingguan, ternyata... saya senanggg pergi kondangan 😆

(Walau pergi ke gunung pun bikin senanggggg juga)

Repot-repot dandan tipis itu memang ada (walau akhir-akhir ini sukanya pakai baju yang itu-itu aja).

Tapi kok ya bangun tidur abis pergi kondangan tuh senang.

Apa karena dari tempat yang banyak orang senyum?

Anggap saja begitu.

Sesungguhnya inilah salah satu nikmatnya berIslam, ada kebahagiaan yang menular, ada kesempatan mendapat pahala juga dari kebahagiaan orang lain.

Simpan-simpan di sini ah beberapa foto.

Terbiasa sendiri kondangan, tau-tau ada geng sama-sama kan senang hatiku. Tapi bentar lagi gengnya pun bubar sibuk masing-masing 🥲.

Nenek-nenek teladan kesayangan dan akak desainer yang tak pernah sombong, jadi aypris mau sombong apa, menggambar gunung pun runcing-runcing saja.

Ketemu teman SMP udah lama ndak jumpa, diajak foto bersama ya tentulah senang hati.

Ini juga kondangan dadakan dari adek kelas SMA yang baiknyaaa masih ingat akak ayu 🧏🏻‍♀️

Adek-adek satu kampus. Siap grak siap grak. Salah satu yang bikin senaaaangg adalah ketika merasakan mereka menikah dengan yang juga baik hatinya.

12:20. 18122023.

Update dikit ah.

Beberapa hari lalu saya diundang "acara syukuran anak-anak" oleh seorang abang kelas SMA yang sebenarnya saya pun lupa 😅. Beliau aktivis kanan, saya aktivis kiri. Modal bismillaah, minta temani adik kecil yang rumahnya terlihat dekat dengan lokasi undangan. Pakai google map kita ni. Tapi ya namanya juga berbakat nyasar, kami nyasar ke gang yang lokasinya cukup jauh. Suasana acaranya memang sedikit berbeda. Kok ada tenda? Tapi ada anak-anak pakai baju penganten sunat. Kok ada nyanyi-nyanyinya? Kok banyak wajah yang terlalu asing? Kok abang kelas saya ndak keliatan? Yaudalah... saya lanjut makan.

Salaman.

Saya tanya deh sama orang tua penganten sunatnya, "Pak, Bang xxx mana ya?"

"Ha? Xxx? Xxx siapa?" Bapaknya muka bingung.

"Bang xxx ccccc Paak." Menutupi salah tingkah, saya mulai ketawa-ketawa.

"Ndak ada tu xxx ccccc di sini."

OK mantab. Fix nyasar. Udah terlanjur makan. Jadilah pulang dari situ diliatin serumah-rumah. Hehe. Malu.

Sungguh alhamdulillahilladzi bini'matihi tattimush shalihaat, saya diciptakan jadi manusia, bukan ikan gendang gendis. Kalau jadi ikan, mungkin saya sudah paling duluan diciduk sama bocil-bocil gang karena kebodohan saya.

Yaudalah, show must go on. Singgah minum kopi dulu, dan telepon ke abang kelas itu. Ternyata beliau syukuran anaknya disembuhkan Allah AzzawaJalla dari masa kritis DBD. Alhamdulillaah 'ala kulli haal. Kalau telepon kayak gini... jadinya kan tiba di rumahnya sudah diliatin orang juga. Tentu masih ketawa-ketawa modal menutupi malu. Namun sungguuuhhh bersyukur masih nekat memenuhi undangan, ketemu deh dengan adek kelas masa SMA yang banyak bantu-bantu jaman kuliah dulu. Adek kelas yang ajarin saya naik bis DU (saya lupa, dia yang ingat hahahah).

Wow si spesialis nyasar, lepas banget ketawanya.

Semoga kita termasuk hamba Allah yang dimudahkan untuk ketularan bahagia-bahagianya orang lain yaaaa. Hidup itu capek, maka syukurilah yang kecil-kecil hangat berpendar. ✨

Alhamdulillahilladzi bini'matihi tattimush shalihaat, semoga saudara-saudara kita di Palestina pun Allah perkenankan merasakan kebahagiaan lagi.

Salam,

ayuprissakartika.

[funkii4-blog]

Summarization of the content shown off in Paladins’ overview video of next update. There’s a lot of balance related stuff this time so this is kinda long;

- Valor’s End event pass; 30 levels with skins for Khan & Nyx

- (I’m not a huge fan of the Khan skin but Nyx’s looks pretty cool for her first inclusion in a pass. And sadly neither recolor is very good, Khan’s is too busy while Nyx’s has some weird clashing colors)

- Several minor UI adjustments, including slight color changes to XP bars and certain buttons

- Payload is now included in custom matches

- Additional details added to the Snowfall Junction map

- HUD effects now visible on the lower right side of the health bar instead of above on the left side, up to five can be shown there at a time. This is for Lex’s bounty mark, Corvus’ healing mark, etc.

- Kasumi’s class role has been changed from dps to flank and her abilities have been reworked to more fit the role. This is (at least to my knowledge) the second champion class change ever and the first since the end of the beta

- Talent adjustments for supports including Io, Seris, and Furia. Luna’s aoe ally healing is now a passive instead of talent-locked while Furia has received major overhauls of two of her talents

- Cherish’s old range increase effect is now passive and the new effect grants a small aoe when Kindle Soul is used; Exterminate’s old effect has been removed and the new effect increases attack speed bonus per tier of Wrath active (max tier bonus increased by 15%)

- Seris’ Mortal Reach talent now allows you to use Restore Soul and Shadow Travel simultaneously. It isn’t stated in the overview video or patch notes if the range increase effect is removed

- Grover’s Rampant Blooming talent has been severely nerfed, with healing boosts provided with the effect being cut pretty much in half :/

- Adjustmemts to several flanks (Caspian & Evie buffs, a much needed Skye nerf, etc.)

- Imani’s mana rift radius was cut by two thirds. Poor woman can’t catch a break

- Inara nerfs; Mother’s Grace’ bonus healing effect has been removed and both the damage reduction & duration of Earthen Guard have been decreased

- Slight nerfs to Nyx, her base hp reduced by 150 and the cooldowns of two abilities increased

- Octavia’s weapon can now be fired full auto, but scoped damage has been slightly reduced

- Several healing buffs for Ying :D good for her

Ujian

Kau tau, ujian apa kiranya yang luar biasa besar itu?

Ujian tentang waktu

Sebagai anak yang ndak suka main sosmed sejak SD SMP SMA, aku beranggapan bahwa sosmed hanya akan menghabiskan waktu ku. Buku tidak terbaca. Waktu istirahat berkurang. Belajar terganggu sama ingatan video lucu atau sekedar video kucing the cat. Maka, aku berencana, tidak akan memiliki sosmed terkhusus IG sewaktu duduk di bangku sekolah. Iya, aku baru memilki IG waktu kuliah. Itu pun karena tugas ospek 2019 dulu.

Adaa beberapa alasan :

1. Menurutku, memiliki IG adalah suatu keputusan yang membutuhkan kedewasaan. Iya. Kenapa?

Karena bagiku, aplikasi seperti ini akan terus berkembang untuk membuat pemakai nya menjadi kecanduan. Dulu nya hanya IG story, skrng ada live IG. Dulu adanya feeds video, sejarang ada reels, yang kalau dipikir semakin membuat kita 'terjebak' dalam IG. Aku melihat betul bagaimana teman teman ku bermain IG pada saat pertama kali IG diluncurkan waktu dulu kelas 8 SMP atau 2014. Namanya juga SMP 1 Solo, tidak mungkin se terbelakang itu untuk mendapatkan update terbaru ttg apa yang menjadi tren saat itu.

Dan satu satunya anak yang bertahan untuk tidak membuat akun adalah.... Nadya Gifary :) Kelas 8A hehe

Alasannya, sibuk. Tapi bukan sibuk organisasi atau masuk dalam OSIS atau Pramuka (Dewan Galang). Sibuk belajar, karena pada saat itu, Nadya punya target membawa 3 piala dalam tiap satu semester. Ambis banget jujur. Juga mempertahankan ranking kelas maupun pararel (ampuni hamba yang dulu mungkin pernah sombong yaAllah). Tapi pada saat itu, insyaAllah niat nya hanya satu, membuat mama ayah bangga.

Lanjut, SMA. Di tengah hingar binar SMA N 1 Solo atau orang menyebutnya sebagai sekolah negeri paling elit (padahal engga) se Solo, Nadya tetap teguh pendirian. Ndak pernah main, ndak main sosmed, kalau ada acara yang kurang jelas dan bercampur baur (misal suporter DBL, class meeting yang harus ke sana kemari, berdesak desakan dll), Nadya pilih lari dan mlipir ke UNS buat kajian (sok sokan mahasiswa ; bahkan dulu dah hafal mapping UNS wkwk), ke Goro Assalam (buat cari printilan muslimah), ke Masjid Muchlisin buat sekedar sholat dan kajian pagi, ke Togamas (srkng kata temen2 dah nda ada), ke Arpusda, ke Gramed (Slamet Riyadi yuhu), atau sekedar membaca sejarah di MonPers. Agak lain, tapi juga bukan yang paling baik. Memang sedikit untuk bisa menemukan teman yang se frekuensi. Di tengah semua orang memainkan hp untuk sosmed nya, untuk share story, untuk buat feeds, Nadya tetep teguh pada buku yang ia temui di Arpusda wkwkw. Tapi jeleknya, ya ndak tau apa yang sedang terjadi skrng. Berita-berita terbaru, kabar SMANSA yang viral di IG, atau sekedar melihat apa yang sedang dibicarakan anak².

Tapi rasanya betul juga, "memang tidak semua hal perlu kita ketahui dalam hidup". Coba deh dilihat, ndak semua berita di IG itu sifatnya penting dan mendesak. Lalu untuk apa berlama lama untuk scroll video dan post yang nda akan pernah habis ? >> Ini pemikrian ku waktu SMA.

Mending waktunya dibuat baca buku di perpus, diskusi sejarah atau ndak research materi debat.

Dimana letak kedewasaannya?

Iyah! Aku juga bingung dimana. Tapi menurutku untuk bisa menetukan mana yang penting untuk saat itu, mana yang ndak darurat, mana yang mendesak, mana yang tidak, rasanya sudah bisa tau kalau sosmed itu ndak berguna (untuk saat itu, karena memang tidak ada kepentingan). Hanya membuat lelah, capek, menghabiskan waktu dan kuota (juga saku), dan akhirnya tugas yang lebih penting akan terbengkalai ; belajar.

2. Buku Tidak Tersentuh

Lanjut, ujiannya sekarang ada pada bangku kuliah. Pada saat 2019, atau maba, akhirnya sudah memberikan diri menyematkan simbol "Cukup dewasa buat punya IG", terlebih ada kepentingan berupa tugas upload twibbon dan video edukasi cuci tangan. Kalau nda ada dua tugas itu, kayaknya sampe skrng akan bertahan ndak punya IG deh hehe.

Awal awal, menurutku begitu mudah untuk bisa membatasi. Ndak terbawa, ndak terngiang2 atau tidak terdistraksi. Biasa aja gitu rasanya punya IG. Ndak ada yang perlu diupload selain tugas ospek hehe.

Lambat laun, satu semester, dua semester, tiga semester, ternyata aku kecolongan. Banyak hal yang terasa berubah. Intensitas main hp naik tinggi. Buku ditinggalin. Kajian mager. Ke pondok buat ngaji, mager karena alasan ngantuk, capek, ada tugas praktikum, tugas TM, tugas tutorial dll.

Awalnya aku menyangka, tapi ternyata IG lah biang keroknya huhuhu. Ternyata, sering banget main IG, bukuku ndak kesentuh. Buku selemari yang aku bawa dari Solo, akhirnya ndak tersentuh. Di situ aku sedih dan menanyakan, "dimana Nadya Gifary sih perpus berjalan itu pergi?" Kok, bukunya itu aja. Ndak ada upgrade, ndak ada kemajuan, bahkan tidak tersentuh :(

Akhirnya, 2020 akhir, aku membuat evaluasi dan resolusi baru untuk 2021. Apa? Iya. Membuat alur membaca buku dan membuat pengelompokkan jenis buku. Muslimah dengan Allah, muslimah dengan diri sendiri, muslimah dengan orangtuanya, muslimah dengan suaminya, muslimah dengan anak anaknya sampai pada ilmu keluarga. Terlalu dini sih untuk anak semester 4 untuk berfikir se kedapan itu. Tapi memang demikian. Aku merubah rencana hidup, yang dulunya waktu SD SMP SMA, hanya terfokus pada target lomba, sekarang mulai fokus belajar agama dan sedikit² mengenal dunia organisasi (menurutku ini hal baru), dan saat itu diberi amanah menjadi Kadep Kemuslimahan th 2021. Mulai sedikit² belajar wkwk telat banget yah. Dan yang terpenting adalah membatasi IG, dengan cara uninstall IG untuk waktu aktif setiap bloknya (Minggu 1 - Minggu 5) dan baru install lagi pada minggu pasif atau minggu libur (Minggu ke 6 atau setelah OSCE).

Sebegitu versus nya yah dengan IG, sangat musuhan wkwkw. Maka, jangan heran kalau sampe skrng pun, sering banget install - uninstall IG. Apalagi pada saat koass, rasanya waktu jauh lebih fleksibel mengikuti stase yang sedang ditempuh.

Semoga diberikan keistiqomahan selalu untuk mengatur ujian waktu nya dengan baik. Karena sungguh, ujian tentang waktu adalah perkara yang besar. Bisa jadi membuat terlena atau bahkan terlupakan.

Semangat

Kalau yang dibawah ini adalah beberapa langkah kiat untuk menpasrahkan. Sungguh ujian ini begitu besar, begitu rumit, juga begitu menyesakkan. Bantu hamba yaAllah. Hamba serahkan kepadaMu ya Allah :)

10 People You Want to Know Better

Thank you for the tag @birdmenmanga <3

Relationship status: Single.

Favorite colors: Quite a few honestly. I like most shades of green and blue. But there is also raspberry pink that i can't look away from.

Favorite foods: Alfredo linguini

Song stuck in my head: Many. Depends on what I'm in the mood to listen to and to listen to in loops. One that remains good to get stuck in my head is Blue Fields from Final Fantasy 8 or Female Turbulence from Trials of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3). (I have to admit I've started listening to the Genshin Impact OST despite not playing the game. Lovely music !)

Last thing you googled: Expiring date for condiments such as mustard... because of food poisoning i had little more than a week ago (I'm all better now). So, the fridge in under watch.

Time: 3:41 AM (I should probably go to bed... but I was still going down the rabbit hole that is YouTube)

Dream trip: Mmmm... I haven't travelled much to be honest. But as soon I get my driver's licence (one day), I'd love to visit the provinces of my country. And maybe see friends from over the border, and maybe overseas.

Last thing you read: Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future, the DLC project that got downgraded to a light novel. But I enjoyed the read.

Last book you enjoyed reading: That would be mangas... XD Magilumiere Co. Ltd is always such a treat to read. But I've been surprised by the new manga Ghostbuster Osamu.

Favorite thing to cook/bake: Apple pie in a ramekin. Quite easy to make and tastes delicious. You can use any fruits really. Just need butter, flour, a bit a water, a pinch of salt for the dough; and cornstarch and sugar (or cinnamon or vanilla) to coat the fruits in. (The only thing I don't like is getting butter or anything oily on my hands because I have a hard time washing it off. But the smell and the taste of that small sized pie make it worth it.)

Favorite craft to do in your free time: Drawing and crochet. Reminds me I haven't crochet in a while.

Most niche dislike: Mmmm................. I don't know ? I guess people vapping/smoking inside there apartment and just won't open THEIR windows ???? Like, I can smell you through the walls and the floor and it's driving nuts... Why do I have to open MY windows ???? But since I've stopped complaining since it didn't change anything and do open my windows, then there's the neighbour from the next block going out for smoke while walking and then STANDING close to my window. Why can't I just smell my own apartment ???????

Opinion on circuses: Never been to one. The video clips I could see of the Cirque du Soleil continue to impress me. The performers are athletes !

Do you have a sense of direction?  Yes. I love to explore my options and find landmarks to help me locate myself. If time permits, I would go for walk surrounding my home/school/work, so I can update my mind map of where I am. Nowadays, it's mostly home/work. I try to remember the main roads/avenues and how they relate to each other so I can find myself in case my phone dies or something. In the cities, that would be knowing the alternative routes to get back home if my subway line malfunctions and I need to take the bus. I feel proud when I can help someone orient themselves.

----

Let's see. I'd like to tag @magicmetslogic @ennobaka @jer-tan @ruidosdeperro @electric016 @jeepers-its-the-void @riinoaheartilly @dq9 Also, tagging any followers to would love to answer as well <3

Have a wonderful day everyone !

Unleash the Power of Abalon in this major update

Abalon the Fast Adventures Update launches for the roguelike adventure game on Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. Thanks to D20Studios, whose continual creative brilliance shines once again. Available today on Steam. Abalon, the title that's caught my eye lately with the Fast Adventures. Big things are happening for this title, especially with the Steam Deck builder Festival (March 25th-April 1st) and Turn-Based Thursday Fest (April 4th-8th). The best part? It's 50% off during this period – a fantastic deal for Linux and Steak Deck players.

Abalon the Fast Adventures Update

The latest release is the "Fast Adventures" update, the ninth major one for Abalon. This brings a fresh twist to your playing experience. Think shorter, punchier sessions, more diverse encounters; and this means you can dive right into the action. From the get-go, you get to pick your party and spells, jumping into a rich, biome-diverse world. Your mission? Chase down bosses and fulfill your cosmic destiny. It's all about fast-paced, engaging adventures. This whole Fast Adventures update was inspired by Retromation and Wanderbot for Abalon, two big names known for their insights into roguelike adventure games. They pointed out how important shorter runtimes are for keeping players engaged. And they're spot on – a 50-60 minute run is perfect for keeping your attention hooked without dragging on. It's a great way to experience all the possibilities and have a satisfying finish to your strategy. The Fast Adventures update for Abalon really shines in how it encourages you to get creative with different character and spell combos. The developers took the feedback seriously and realized shorter runs do offer a more rewarding experience. It leaves you eager to jump back in with a new team. Kudos to Retromation and Wanderbot for their invaluable feedback and their let's play series – they've helped many discover the excitement of roguelike adventure titles.

Abalon Game Trailer

The new "Fast Adventure" Mode is a solid update for Abalon. Complete an adventure run within 60 minutes, start with a full deck and party of your choice, and jump straight into action. Boss locations are marked on your map, and you start with some gold to gear up at shops. Plus, consumables aren't just for pre-battle prep anymore; use them anytime during combat. Defeating elites gives you soul gems, which you can save and use strategically. It's about doing more in less time, with an open world full of diverse settings, monsters, and encounters. Besides this, the Fast Adventures update also brings in "Choose Your Playstyle" to Abalon. This allows you to customize your experience post selecting the difficulty level. You have the "Signature Style", where cards don't reshuffle until you rest at a camp, and "Traditional Style", where they reshuffle after each battle. You can even view your enemy's hand to gauge their next move. Summoners and Guardians have permadeath, adding to the challenge. For Linux and Steam Deck players who want a taste of the original Abalon, there's a new challenge modifier - "Forbidden Relics", where you can't use artifacts. This ups the difficulty and rewards you with a 20% score bonus at the end of your run. There's also a focus on card cycling for those wanting more control. You can replace, recycle, or discard cards for mana. Plus, a shoutout to Twitch streamer AlchemistJoker – there's now a "Joker’s Last Stand" card in his honor.

Release Notes

The v1.34.0 Release Notes include tons of new features like the "Fast Adventures" game mode, different playstyles, quality of life improvements, new artifacts, balance adjustments, and much more. For anyone new or returning, Abalon has always been about evolving through player feedback, hence the the Fast Adventures update. Past updates like "Masters and Minions", "Harvest World", "Croakus Lord of the Swamp", and others also show this commitment. So, if you're into games that keep evolving and offer fresh, engaging experiences, Abalon is definitely worth checking out the Fast Adventures update. The roguelike adventure is available on Steam for Linux, Steam Deck, Mac, and Windows PC. The base price is $29.99 USD / £24.99 / 28,99€.

Essential Strategies and Tips for Online Gaming

The thrill of competition, the rush of victory, the strategic maneuvering – online games offer an immersive experience unlike any other. But in the ever-evolving landscape of virtual battlefields, how do you rise above the competition and claim your place as the ultimate champion? Fear not, aspiring conqueror, for this guide is your arsenal, packed with strategies and tips to transform you from a novice to a force to be reckoned with.

Know Thyself, Know Thy Game:

The first step on your path to domination is understanding. Delve into the depths of your chosen game. Absorb its mechanics, master its nuances. Unearth the intricacies of each character, weapon, and map. This knowledge is your foundation, the bedrock upon which you build your strategic prowess.

Embrace the Art of Adaptation:

No single strategy guarantees eternal victory. Online games are dynamic beasts, constantly evolving with updates, new players, and ever-shifting metas. Be adaptable, like water, capable of flowing around any obstacle. Experiment with different tactics, learn from your losses, and refine your approach with each encounter.

Sharpen Your Skills:

Practice, they say, makes perfect. Hone your reflexes, master intricate mechanics, and develop muscle memory. Whether it's mastering headshot accuracy in an FPS or perfecting combo timings in a fighting game, dedicated practice is the key to unlocking your full potential.

Forge Alliances, Conquer Together:

In the realm of online gaming, teamwork often spells the difference between triumph and defeat. Seek out like-minded individuals, forge alliances, and coordinate your strategies. Effective communication, combined with complementary skillsets, can turn a ragtag group into an unstoppable force.

Seek Out the Knowledge of the Masters:

Learning from the best is a time-tested path to improvement. Observe the tactics of renowned players, watch professional tournaments, and analyze their strategies. Deconstruct their decision-making process, adapt their techniques to your own gameplay, and accelerate your ascent to the top.

Beyond the Basics: Advanced Strategies for the Aspiring Dominator

Now that you've grasped the fundamentals, let's delve deeper into the realm of advanced strategies:

Resource Management:

Mastering resource management is crucial, especially in games where resources dictate your actions. Whether it's mana in an RPG, ammo in an FPS, or minerals in an RTS, utilize your resources efficiently. Prioritize your actions, avoid wasteful spending, and optimize your resource acquisition to gain an edge over your opponents.

Map Awareness:

Maintaining constant map awareness is paramount. Develop a habit of scanning the minimap regularly, anticipating enemy movements, and reacting swiftly to changing situations. This vigilance can turn a potential ambush into a glorious counter-offensive.

Psychological Warfare:

The mind is a powerful battleground. Employ tactics like bluffing, mind games, and calculated aggression to unnerve your opponents. Exploit their weaknesses, capitalize on their mistakes, and sow seeds of doubt in their minds to gain a psychological advantage.

Embrace the Learning Curve:

Losses are inevitable, but they are also valuable learning experiences. Analyze your defeats, identify your shortcomings, and actively seek to improve. Don't let setbacks discourage you; instead, use them as stepping stones on your path to mastery.

Remember, aspiring champion, the journey to domination is a continuous process. Embrace the challenge, refine your skills, and never stop learning. With dedication, perseverance, and the strategies outlined in this guide, you too can rise to the top and claim your rightful place as the ultimate victor.

Path of Exile Mystery Box arrives with new tattoos in patch 3.22.1

The Path of Exile Mystery Box has been added for update 3.22, along with various new tattoos and recipes for the RPG game. Hotfixes have also been made to the AI companions in the game's new Trial of the Ancestors mode. Whether you've played games like Diablo 4 or are a seasoned PoE veteran embarking on your first voyage through Wraeclast, you'll want to read this most recent update below to catch up on what's coming. As the Path of Exile Trial of the Ancestors league enters its third week, developer Grinding Gear Games releases a hotfix that improves the behavior of warriors in its autobattler mode while they’re attacking and flanking. This should mean they’ll better target enemy units when no totems are targetable. You’ll have to create new instances of the Halls of the Dead for this to apply – this can be forced using Ctrl + click on the world map pin if you need to. A longer set of Path of Exile 3.22.1 patch notes is arriving too, which includes six new tattoos with some rather powerful effects. The Journey tattoos already have me contemplating my builds, allowing you to replace those +30 stat boost notable passive nodes with a stacking effect that adds 30 to your maximum life, energy shield, or mana per allocated Journey tattoo of that type. If you’re able to stick enough of them in, that could be a really powerful effect. By far the most exciting addition, however, is the Journey Tattoo of Makanui, which replaces a Keystone passive slot with a randomly chosen Keystone. Given how powerful these build-defining abilities are, to the point where you’ll travel lengths across the board for one you want while those you don’t are often actively detrimental to your build, I’m curious to see players experimenting with this. Imagine hoping for Blood Magic and instead getting the Ancestral Bond keystone, which prevents your character’s damage altogether in favor of totems. Also now available in-game is the Path of Exile Mystery Box for the Ancestors league, which will grant you one of 20 different cosmetic microtransactions (with some additional bonus variations up for grabs). You’ll never get duplicates from opening these, and chances for each increase proportionally as you continue to open more. For full drop rates, you can check the list below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJNGeWTO5_s Path of Exile 3.22.1 patch notes Here are the Path of Exile patch notes for the 3.22.1 update: Trial of the Ancestors - Added a forfeit match button that can be used when your Ancestral Totem has been banished in stalemate situations. - Added an indicator above player characters that displays your revive progress when you have been killed in a match. - Added 6 new Tattoos that can be obtained in the Trial of the Ancestors. - Journey Tattoo of the Mind: +30 to maximum mana per allocated Journey Tattoo of the Mind – replaces a ‘+30 to dexterity’ notable passive skill. - Journey Tattoo of the Soul: +30 to maximum energy shield per allocated Journey Tattoo of the Soul – replaces a ‘+30 to intelligence’ notable passive skill. - Journey Tattoo of the Body: +30 to maximum life per allocated Journey Tattoo of the Body – replaces a ‘+30 to strength’ notable passive skill. - Honored Tattoo of the Makanga: +2% to all maximum resistances – replaces a small attribute passive skill, requires eight adjacent passive skills allocated. - Ancestral Tattoo of Bloodlines: 2% increased recovery rate of life, mana, and energy shield per tribe for which you have an allocated tattoo – replaces a small attribute passive skill, limited to one Ancestral Tattoo. - Journey Tattoo of the Makanui: Grants a random Keystone – replaces a Keystone passive skill, limited to one Keystone Tattoo. - Added 2 new Field Items. - Added a vendor recipe that can be used to trade three Tattoos from a tribe for a random single Tattoo of that same tribe. - Added an indicator that displays which of your Warriors were placed in your previous match when viewing Favours. - Purchasing a Warrior or Equipment item from a Chieftain or Navali now causes them to offer a different Warrior or Equipment item for purchase respectively after your next match. - Tribe Chieftains now converse between matches in The Halls of the Dead. - Ancestral Totems are now visually repaired if they are healed. - Some Warriors had both high Life and Energy Shield, making them much tankier than similar Warriors.

Minecraft has captured the imaginations of many of us for the past decade, and if you haven’t heard of it, it’s time to leave the rock you’ve been living under. Magic and Minecraft have flirted a lot in the past, and some of the biggest gameplay additions since its release have been related to magic. Enchanting and potions added entirely new frameworks to the game and significantly expanded the things you could do with your existing tools. It’s a shame that none of the recent updates had anything to do with magic, but thankfully, plenty of mods have stepped up over the years. From Ars Magica to Amethyst Imbuement, there are various types of magic to explore. Here, we’ll focus on Amethyst Imbuement and its primary spell casting tool, the scepter. Our top 10 scepters are: 10) Equinox Equinox is a tier 3 scepter with a strong boost for elemental spells. Unlike its precursor scepters, the blazing scepter, the sparking scepter, and the frosted scepter, you are not limited or nudged to one elemental line of spells. You can combine the strongest spells from each type like Flameweave and Lightning Storm to destroy crowds of enemies with ease. The Equinox also has a strong modifier for Fury spells too, making it ideal for fighting. If you like bringing nature’s wrath into the mix, this is the scepter for you. 9) Lethality Lethality is, as the name suggests, a scepter entirely focused on delivering killing blows in combat. It gives a huge boost to spell damage, but it comes with the price of every non-Fury spell having a longer cooldown, so its tier-3 nature is not much of a benefit. If you’re looking to dispatch an enemy near you in a short amount of time though, none of the alternatives can hold a candle to it. A nice bonus to Lethality is that it also functions as a melee weapon at close range and using it to attack does not drain mana or durability.   8) Soujourn Sojourn is a great tier 3 utility scepter. It shortens the cooldown and increases the range of Traveler spells such as Dash and Teleport, and on top of that, it has a decent chance of speeding you up as a side effect. Sojourn isn’t a one-trick wonder though, and comes with an extra range for all Witty spells too including Forcefield. And somehow, even with all of that in mind, it also comes with a great unique spell in the form of Survey, which creates a map of your surroundings when cast. It’s safe to say this scepter is a vital part of your equipment. 7) Resonance A much more unique scepter due to not having a skew for a specific set of spells, Resonance can be very useful as a jack of all trades. It automatically increases any spell’s effective level and gives the player a high chance to repeat a spell immediately after the first casting. You might think this is simply a chance to skip the cooldown, but no, repeating a spell this way does not use up any mana. Resonance also comes with a pretty good unique spell in the form of Resonate, which is a wave attack that damages all nearby enemies. Its damage also stacks after each hit in a span of 2 seconds, which pairs perfectly with the chance of repeating the same spell multiple times. 6) Redemption If you’ve ever played a support character in an MMO, the Redemption scepter is for you. It significantly increases the duration of all Healer spells, letting you and others regenerate insanely fast. Unfortunately, the scepter isn’t good for much else, as the mana cost for all other spells is significantly higher and so are the cooldowns. It’s not horrible though, and you do have access to other tier 3 spells in case you need to save yourself in a pinch. If you’re not a fan of playing second fiddle to someone else, at least make sure you can convince one person in your party to rely on this scepter. 5) Aegis Aegis is a great tier 3 scepter for tanky players, making sure they can stay alive to finish the fight.

Every spell cast automatically gives half a heart of shield, meaning you’re never that vulnerable if you’ve got a plan. It also deals extra damage when casting spells on undead enemies like zombies, and the best part is that the spells don’t even have to deal damage for it to apply. It also completely ignores the invulnerability timer that usually stops you from dealing damage in quick succession. 4) Scepter of Recall The Scepter of Recall is a tier 2 scepter that’s not a bad alternative to the Sojourn. It increases the range of all spells, making it decent for most spells, and comes with a great unique spell in the form of Recall. When you first use Recall, you might get annoyed that its cooldown is 10 minutes. But Recall is a lifesaver, as it instantly teleports you to your bed, letting you escape all sorts of predicaments. It might not be so useful on servers with the /home command, but in vanilla Minecraft it could save you so many diamonds. 3) Frosted Scepter While the Frosted Scepter is merely a stopgap on the way to the tier 3 Equinox, it’s definitely the best single element scepter. Frost spells are generally very strong, but you also get an additional unique spell in the form of Ice Spikes. Ice Spikes change the terrain so significantly when cast that they can block pretty much any enemy from coming to you, and the fangs themselves deal quite a lot of damage too. If you’re in need of a good tier 2 scepter for combat, consider going with this one. 2) Bardic Scepter Another support scepter like Redemption, the Bardic Scepter is unfortunately only level 2, leaving you out of many good healing spells. It makes up for it significantly though with its unique spell Inspiring Song, which gives plenty of beneficial effects to nearby players including speed and health regeneration. The Bardic Scepter is also much more flexible than Redemption, as it doesn’t have significant penalties to other spells. 1) Scepter of Vanguard Unique spells tend to make or break scepters lower than tier 3, so the Scepter of the Vanguard stands out from the rest with its Barrier ability. It grants the wielder the absorption effect, meaning you can tank quite a lot of hits, which comes in handy when fighting the undead. Speaking of the undead, it has the same benefit as the Aegis where spells automatically deal damage when cast on the undead. Couple that with a hefty XP and spell duration boost for Grace spells, it’s a great stop-gap scepter before you get to Aegis itself. These are the ten recommendations that we have for the best Scepters in Amethyst Imbuement for Minecraft. We hope you find them as useful as we do, and if we left out any of your favorite scepters – don’t shy away from letting us know!
