British Indian Elephant is explaining Akasha as a district and separate form of energy that of Aether. Theres this rose that changes color based on your emotion, you've been carrying it around since I resubbed and it's been all grey and sad. But now that I beat the dungeon, got rid of bad vibes tower, and saved all your new elephant friends the rose is shining bright. That's Akasha. Thanks!

Now I'm gonna traverse 3 screens to log off in my inn room so I can see a lil sleepy animation. More importantly, when I log back in, there'll be an animation of my lil guy getting out of bed.

been playing wow season of discovery and people do seem to be more quiet than I remember, just sending an invite if you seem to be doing the same quest and getting to it in silence. they still love talking poo poo in battlegrounds when losing though

Nobody talks in public channels any more because everyone has realized public channels are open cesspools only worth poo poo posting in. See: Ul'dah shout chat on the Balmung server.

At least in ffxiv, in any given dungeon or non-savage raid, 99.9% of the time everyone in the party is so overleveled and/or overgeared that mechanics don't matter at all. dungeons are annihilated with terminator-like silence and precision as the tank pulls every single mob group from one boss to the next they get aoe'd down. at most you'll get a 'hi" at the start and "ggs" at the end.

if it's the 0.1% of the time that it goes bad then you'll really get to hear what people think tho lol

Balatro is loving great, btw.

- Immediately at start of run, get a joker (Pareidolia) that makes every card count as a face card
- In the very next shop, get two jokers that give bonuses for each face card played
- Halfway through, get a joker that makes every played face card gold, giving me basically unlimited money

- Run into a boss blind that disables all face cards. I have to sell Pareidolia to play ANYTHING, and my deck doesn't work at all without it. Total wipeout.

It's such a crazy swing from insanely good luck -> insanely bad luck that I can't even be mad.

this sounds awesome.

maybe cos it's because of the witchcraft thread, but i feel like you could make a cool game merging tarot reading bullshit with poker hands. add cool art for the cards.

basic idea would be a standard poker game you could cheat at by invoking the major arcana. or you could make it like inscryption and have a meta game/narrative that you progress through.

what else is coming out? i dont actually much on my radar besides PD

been playing Core Keeper and despite being a few months out from 1.0, it's extremely good and finished. i've easily dumped ## hours into it the past few weeks. it's officially hitting 1.0 in april i think so everyone should check it out.

On steam you just need to join someone's game in progress instead of launching it normally, you'll probably get in in around 30 to 60 seconds.

I have good news for you: Balatro does this. The major arcana (as well as cards for each of the planets) are the game's one-use powerups.

End of season in-game event
It appears that we are having some form of event this season to end of Chapter 5 - Season 1, here's a quick rundown of the info:

- Earthquakes are happening again
- There is something called "Central Picnic"
- Mentions of a "Caldera Crack"
- Mentions of "Event Chaos"

https://twitter.com/iFireMonkey/status/1760613254949163442?t=ONqZzX80Nyg8idDGg0q9FQ&s=19
https://twitter.com/Loolo_WRLD/status/1760618589629866446?t=JYzCKNFxA09sL5x5jzi1rQ&s=19
There's two encrypted level sequences with CentralPicnic, one for the hand destroying the land around it, and the other for dropping the chest into
the bigger one

CentralPicnic utilizes the following features:

- Mid Match Objectives
- Superstorm (tornadoes, lightning, etc.)
- Milkshake (Earthquakes)
- Lager (animals/NPCs)

And there will be UI elements as well it appears.


Rocket Racing now has a time trials mode.

Fortnite Festival now has hard challenges such as "Get 5 stars on expert".

Blink-182 has a new jam pack bundle in the shop.

Again sorry for all the tweet links, but I can't get imgur to work on the app and the desktop upload through mobile isn't working for me either.

I'm loving pumped for the in game event stuff and the new season coming.

Status: Ravenously Rambunctious
Since Resident Evil 3 remake dropped on Gamepass I decided to give it a shot and boy oh boy the reviewers weren't wrong. The game is a hodgepodge of ideas that aren't well executed at all and besides a few jump scares the game is so light on actual horror. It doesn't help that the game feels like it's on rails unlike the more dynamic 2. The only thing that holds my interest is the ranking and Ng+ stuff but even that is kinda lackluster once you've bested it once.
