Different enough to keep it interesting without being confusing to Tsushima players (as the mechanics do get complicated!) Much greater control of builds too

There is one plot/relationship you will scream at. Can't wait to play Hades 2 though!

@lilithfatale.bsky.social have you started Yōtei?

Ghost of Yōtei launch has been incredible. Tsushima really set a high bar but it was also released during COVID and perpetual lockdowns. Animal Crossing New Horizons wasn't the only game to benefit from a 2020 launch

Atsu is also a lead I connect with far more (although I do love Jin).

The wolf mechanics are beautiful, and in an era of climate change we really need more narratives* celebrating the ecosystem

*A huge irony when the videogame industry is a massive driver of resource depletion and carbon emissions

Ghost of Yotei is magnificent, and I was worried I wouldn't connect to it without Masako and co. But the exploration is incredibly rewarding, the connections to Atsu are rarer but more poignant, the expressions of culture varied and beautiful.

What the fuck has happened to this country? Fucking Heseltine is being a better anti-fascist then the Labour prime minister. I regret that I've lived long enough to see this, it's despairing.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.

Famous Last Words: Dr Jane Goddall was extremely moving. We must continue the fight against fascism and climate destruction in her absence.

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

I love when student journalists break a crazy story, especially about their own school. This one is extraordinarily macabre. www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/10/01/u...

USC sold dead bodies to U.S. military to train IDF medical personnel

A review of seven years’ worth of contracts unveiled more than $860,000 to use cadavers in surgical trainings involving the Israeli Defense Forces.
