Nick Cushing Side Stood Tall Despite the loss to FC Cincinnati

Despite a tough 1-0 loss on the road to FC Cincinnati, @NYCFC displayed resilience and promise without key players. The 1-4-0 record doesn't reflect their determination and potential. Looking forward to seeing them bounce back stronger in the next match.

We know the names that will be missing from this matchup, if you don’t then subscribe to stay up to date with the latest news for Major League Soccer. This matchup will be a heavyweight fight between two of the giant clubs in the league, last year was rough for the city boys, this year they’ve improved in some areas but are still struggling to find the net this season. This matchup should be an…

While obviously the primary dynamic of the trilogy is between Sam & Allie, it is striking that there is a similarly slowly developing friendship between Sam & Nick as they learn to work in sync.  By the time of Exit Stage Death, they’re working together rather than just working the same case.  I’m genuinely kinda impressed that the series was taking its time developing the personal connections, even if some of that could be chalked up to focusing on the mystery aspect.

BUZZ_BINNED:

“ICE COLD” is the lead single/track from @armlock444’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Seashell Angel Lucky Charm’ (7/12 @runforcover) & it finds the Melbourne-based duo of Simon Lam & Hamish Mitchell throwing “stuff at the wall” & seeing “what sticks” across 3+ melancholic mins of slow_coring & pin_backing IndieRock.

@draagsadpeople are here w/ “MICROGRAVITY TANK,” the second single from their forthcoming EP titled ‘Actually, the quiet is nice’ (5/17 @juliaswarrecs) & it finds the LA-based quintet of Adrian Acosta (guitar/vox/synth/samples), Jessica Huang (synth/vox/samples), Ray Montes (guitar), Nick Kelley (bass/noise/synth) & Eric Fabbro (drums) reflecting on the better days of yore across 4 mins of texturally hazed & quietly/loud AltRawk.

@ratpalaceband are here w/ “WOMAN OF THE YEAR,” the final single in the run-up to their forthcoming LP titled ‘Dust Free Home’ (6/7 @candlepin_records) & it finds the Brooklyn-based quartet of Rohit Sai Goral (vox/guitar), Ali Zimmerman (vox/bass), Julian Cornell (guitar/shakers) & Lenin Córdoba (drums) bashing one out across a sub-2 min slice of viscerally ripped & herkily jerked PostPunkRawk.

How he embodies THE BIG MAN ON CAMPUS:

The son of a prosecutor turned senate hopeful and a brain surgeon, Bibiano has always been destined for success. And he’s done a good job so far, if you ask him. As Ogden’s football team Captain, the President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and a member of the Junior Class Board, he’s got a lot on his plate besides his studies. But if there’s one thing his parents instilled in him since childhood, it’s that good things come to those who work hard. So work hard he does. It’s fine. After all, what more could he ask when his entire life had been preordained?

Extracurriculars: President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Football team Captain (Quarterback), Junior Class Board, Pre-Med Society, Ultimate Frisbee, Squash

Relationship to Greer:

If you had asked Bibiano last year how his relationship with Greer was going, he would have smiled brightly and answered, ‘Never better!’ while brushing a stray curl away from his face, letting his promise ring catch the light in the down stroke. Saddest thing was that he would have meant it. Wholeheartedly. Things were going great between him and Greer. Fantastic even. Despite the fact that they were talking and seeing each other less and less every year. It’s not like he hadn’t noticed, but with the MCAT looming over the horizon, he couldn’t afford to slack off. He thought she would understand, but once he had ‘stopped being fun’, she had stopped telling him whenever she’d go out and blocked his number. He’d only learn about what she was up to because she hadn’t bothered to block him on Snapchat. But all couples have their ups and downs, and he wouldn’t be the first boyfriend to get blocked during a fight. It was fine though, because Bibiano knew that they would make up eventually and everything would go back to how it’d always been.  Greer and him were an inevitability. They were destined to get married and start a family. 2.5 kids, the picket fence, all of it. They were the New American Dream. Idyllic, yet achievable if you just put in the work. It was as true as the celestial bodies in the sky that circled the Earth. As true as the love of the Lord. A year later and his promise ring was tucked neatly into the black velvet box that had originally held Greer’s.

Character Inspirations:

Scott McCall (MTV's Teen Wolf), Wolfgang Grimmer (Naoki Urasawa's Monster), Shima Sousuke (Skip and Loafer), Finn Hudson (Glee), Aaron Samuels (Mean Girls), James Wilson, M.D (House MD), Ann Perkins (Parks and Recreation), Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney), Sora (Kingdom Hearts), Laios Touden (Dungeon Meshi), Papyrus (Undertale), Noelle (Deltarune), Kota Ibushi (DDT/NJPW/AEW - Wrestling, Seiya Sanada [j5g era] (NJPW - Wrestling) (i'm being so real rn wrestling is just professional sports larping where the audience is also part of the collaborative story telling and the wrestlers are constantly rping in real life i cannot stress enough that i am being so so real rn))

Character Tropes:

Lovable Jock, Captain Oblivious, The Unwitting Comedian, The McCoy, Mr. Nice Guy, Extreme Doormat, The Cutie, Horrible Judge Of Character, Perpetual Smiler, Only Sane Man, Beware the Nice Ones, Reluctant Fanservice Guy, Adorkable, I Just Want to Be Normal, Creature of Habit, Token Good Teammate, Super Gullible, The Teetotaler, Crisis of Faith

Vibes:

a puppy with paws still too large for their body ; awkward and sweet he stumbles over his own two feet / a single deer fawn in the middle of a forest clearing, their round eyes sparkle with curiosity, not yet knowing the cruelty of the world they clumsily walk towards you ; far too trusting for his own good, that naivety will only cause him more pain / what if we erased all of our mistakes? i want to be nice to you ; a man who doesn't guard his own heart, he says he won't trust like that again but makes the same mistake over and over again / i wanna be a fool, but you're not making it easy for me ; it's in his nature to forgive far to easily, he'll almost always bend first, but be careful, even a perpetual doormat can grow a spine if pushed too far /

Expanded Personality:

Bibiano's father has been trying to run for the senate for as long as Bibi can remember. However, as an Afro-Latino immigrant, securing the conservative vote has been quite the challenge, to say the least. To that end, Bibiano is under unending pressure to be the perfect All American Boy.

This upbringing has forced him to be more down to earth than most of the other affluent kids in Greer’s circle and thus allows him to make fast friends with people way out of his parent’s tax bracket.

Tw: references to religion, death of a child/ death of siblings (brief references to miscarriages, still born children): Bibi comes from a conservative Roman Catholic Afro-Cuban family. According to his parents, his conception was a miracle from God, a gift to reward them for their years of faith despite the siblings he had lost before they could be born. So, no, he’s not an only child, he’s the youngest of six. They’re his guardian angels, taken far too soon by their God so they could watch over him. Bibiano lives for them. To make them and their parents proud.

Sample RP:

“You wouldn’t have wanted Greer to disappear, would you?”

“Excuse me?” The words were spat out of Bibiano's mouth with far more venom than he had intended. He realized his mistake when he turned his head and matched gazes with a pair of detectives in neat business casual. All in all, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise. The ex is always one of the first people they looked at, especially when they hadn't exactly broken up in amicable terms. And despite Greer's valiant attempt at astroturfing the reason for their split, no one had really bought the lies. (At least Bibiano sure hadn’t.) So of course Bibi knew this was coming. From the instant he had heard that she was officially a missing person he knew. He wasn’t stupid. He just, somehow, hadn’t expected this moment to come so soon. Call it naivety. It was fine. He had learned how to handle these types of situations after he hit his first major growth spurt and was 5’8” at 14. Pursing his lips, Bibiano regarded the detectives for a moment before cocking his head slightly and giving them an exasperated smile. “I’d really love to answer any question you have, detectives, but it’ll have to go through my father first. You two know how he is; a real by-the-book type of guy," Bibiano chuckled softly, scratching lightly at the side of his neck. “You have Prosecutor De La Cruz’s number, right?” Bibi then pressed his lips together in a tight lipped smile, eyebrows rising good naturedly. The challenge had been clear. They should have known better.  “I’m sure the guys back in the office can help you find it if you don’t.”

Does it ever bother you, how small of a school Ogden is? And how everyone is everyone else’s business?”

“It’s all a matter of perspective.” Bibiano answered, turning away from the computer screen to look at his lab partner from over his shoulder. “Personally, I like to think of it more as…  ‘cozy’. Like, yeah, people know way more about my business than I’d like them to but the benefits outweigh the cons by a long shot.” Bibi laughed when he heard multiple grumbles in response. He hadn’t realized he had an audience. “I’m serious! Just think about it, college is half studying half networking. Where else would you have a chance to meet and make connections with all these rich kids?” Bibi asked, pushing away from the desk so he could spin his chair in a lazy circle to get a better look at the others. “Aren’t you one of the rich kids, too?” Someone said. Bibiano quirked an eyebrow at that, his lips pushed forward in an annoyed pout. “I mean, yeah, technically. But they’re old money; my family is what they call ‘new money’. Big difference,” Bibi said, tapping the side of his forehead. “Even though I grew up with the Morrisons, I don’t think they ever really thought of me as an equal. I mean, look at how fast Greer dropped me when–” Bibiano snapped his mouth shut as he noticed eyes light up with interest. He had almost said too much. “Y’know what, that’s not important. Stop distracting me, cuz if we turn in a half finished assignment I got no problem throwing you under the bus to save myself.” Bibi snarked, pointing at his lab partner. His laughter bounced off the walls when he was forced to dodge a quickly formed paper ball thrown his way. “Let’s just get back to work, okay?”

“Popularity isn’t supposed to matter past high school, but do you think Ogden has a popular crowd? Like…Greer was popular, wasn’t she?”

“Why the fuck are you talking about her in the past tense?” Bibiano snarled, glaring daggers down at the party goer that had pulled him into a private room. “Cuz last time I checked, Greer’s still marked as a missing person. Unless there’s something you know that I don’t?” Bibiano took two steps forward, closing the distance between them. “Well?” He lifted his eyebrows, his smile warped into something unfamiliar and dangerous. The usually gentle warmth in his eyes burned hotter, fueled by indignant rage. “If you got any new information, I’m dying to hear it.” It was silent in the room except for the muffled sounds of music and chatter coming from the frat party on the other side of the door. “Nothing to say now? Figures.” Bibiano sneered, pushing past them to walk towards the door. He reached for the handle and paused before turning back. “Y’know what? Do me a favor and don’t speak to me again. Matter of fact, stay away from the Morrison twins, too. God knows they have way more important things to worry about than another know-nothing clout chaser looking for the next juicy piece of gossip.” With that, Bibi stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. A few heads turned towards the noise, but he didn’t wait to see if anyone called out. Taking long strides, he made it to a familiar gaudily furnished bathroom, stepped in, and locked the door behind him with trembling hands. Dropping clumsily onto the sink countertop he gripped it like a lifeline as the adrenaline slowly drained out of him. His mind was a jumbled mess, the thoughts racing far too quickly for him to make sense of anything. Bloodshot eyes flickered up to the antique gold mirror hung in front of him. He looked awful. There’s no way he could face the rest of the party looking like this. Not after the scene he had just made. They probably were already whispering among themselves, chomping at the bit to watch another star ignite into flames on their fall from grace.  Well, too bad for them. They’d have to wait a little longer before he’d let himself burn up into ash and dust.

Just for reference, since the naming convention for the series has changed, I tag all games in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon universe (including je/lj) #yakuza

Mainline games are tagged #yakuza [number]. Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be tagged #yakuza 8 for just general posts about the game, and spoilers will be tagged both #yakuza 8 spoilers #spoilers. Spoiler tags are generally only used to denote major plot and/or substory spoilers, so if you want scorched earth blockage of information about the game, I suggest filtering both the spoiler tag and the game tag.

Spin-offs are tagged #yakuza #[subtitle/title] (ie #yakuza #judgment, #yakuza #ishin, etc), with the exception of Gaiden, since there are many games with the subtitle Gaiden and I don’t want to blur tags. For that reason, that particular game is tagged #yakuza #yakuza gaiden

This convention goes for all posts, past and future, and believe me, if I could go back and redo my tagging system to just rgg I would, but that’s thousands of posts at this point. One day I’ll make a full guide to my tagging system, but for now, for spoiler purposes given all the new information about y8 and gaiden (praise be), here’s the current fandom specific version

As a general rule, my tagging convention for all my posts is: fandom, game, character, ship, spoiler tags, archival tags, my dumbass thoughts

Character names for rgg follow East Asian convention (surname first, given name last), with the exception of canonically western characters and/or characters using western naming convention, such as Ryan Acosta and Nick Ogata

Había tanto sucediendo que no puedo evitar resaltar algunos momentos en particular. Comenzaré con los estupendos adelantamientos. Fue impresionante ver como algunos pilotos tomaron la iniciativa y se abrieron camino hasta las primeras posiciones. Los movimientos rápidos y precisos que demostraron en la pista fueron emocionantes hasta el final, ¡verdadero arte en movimiento! Podría hablar todo el día de la dramática batalla entre Edoardo Mortara y Nick Cassidy. Fue una espectacular demostración de habilidades de conducción en su máxima expresión, poniendo al límite todas las capacidades de estos increíbles autos eléctricos. Dio la impresión de ver a dos gladiadores en una arena, cada uno luchando por el primer lugar. Y cómo olvidar el impresionante inicio en la cuadrícula con Wehrlein. La intensidad y la velocidad que demostró al arrancar realmente mostraron su increíble habilidad como piloto. Un despliegue de velocidad y destreza que nos mantuvo al borde de nuestros asientos durante toda la carrera. Hablando de habilidad, hay que mencionar el impecable manejo de Oliver Rowland en la primera vuelta después de la bandera verde. Es como si tuviese un radar integrado, evitando accidentes y manteniéndose en la pista con una precisión y control envidiables. ¡Un verdadero maestro de la conducción! Y no podemos pasar por alto el debut de Pedro Acosta. A pesar de que es el más joven de la parrilla, demostró ser un duro contendiente. Sus movimientos rápidos y audaces mostraron una madurez más allá de su corta edad. Este chico sin duda tiene un futuro brillante en la Fórmula E. Pero ahora, es tu turno. La Fórmula E te está invitando a votar por tu momento favorito de E-Prix de ese fin de semana.

Pascal Wehrlein Clinches Victory in 2024 Mexico City E-Prix

A stellar day unfolded at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez as Porsche driver Pascal Wehrlein secured both the pole position in the Qualifying final and later orchestrated a flawless strategy to claim victory in the first race of the 2024 Formula E season.

In front of an enthusiastic crowd and under delightful weather conditions, the German driver showcased his speed, completing 35 laps to secure his second win on the Mexico City track; the first being in 2022.

While today's race saw several retirements, including Sérgio Sette Camara, Lucas Di Grassi, António Félix Acosta, and Robin Frijns, the highlight was the intense battle at the front between Wehrlein and Swiss driver Sebastien Buemi. Despite Buemi's efforts, he had to settle for the second spot on the podium.

Completing the podium was New Zealand's Nick Cassidy, driving the Jaguar with the number 37, kicking off his first year with the team on a positive note.

Other notable performances included Max Gunther (Maserati), Mitch Evans (Jaguar), and Jean-Érick Vergne (DS Penske).

As the curtain falls on the Formula E debut for 2024 in Mexico, the championship now heads for a long journey to Saudi Arabia for a double-header event.

Next Stop: Formula E heads to Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, for the next round on January 27, 2024. Stay tuned for more electrifying action!
