This seems very comparable to saying “you can only make a box with these tools” when discussing table top role playing games, which is why i don’t think i’ve ever viewed them under a queer lens (except for ones, as pointed out above, that intentionally revolve their gameplay around identity and queerness).
The genre may be adventure as a standard baseline for many of these types of games (horror is becoming much more prominent as well), but interpersonal dynamics and roleplaying as your characters -their likes, dislikes, flaws and strengths -is a huge part of the game.
Depending on your playgroup (this is important) you may find yourself in a campaign that has very little combat involved and is mostly your characters going around and talking to people, interacting with them and using non-combative solutions to problems (charisma isn't just for warlocks!). If you have a queer playgroup, you're probably going to be playing a queer game!
TTRPGs shouldn't be the same as "here is a regular bar you can be gay in," but more of a "here is a bunch of tools to make whatever kind of building you'd like."
I think this also brings up an interesting conversation about genre definition. How do you classify "queer" as a genre?
I don't think it's appropriate to assume that "queer" also means "romance," as so many mediums tend to. If we take it to mean: a majority of the story revolves around individuals who identify as queer, then it allows us an unbiased avenue from which to develop a story and theme, but it also means that "queer" is not a standalone genre - though personally I find this appropriate. Queer people cannot be universally defined in terms of what they like, how they live, or what they do. Because of this, queer as a genre should not presume to have definite answers to these questions on its own.
If we tag with genres, we'd probably see something like: "action", "romance", "queer"
Or: "queer", "mystery", "thriller"
With TTRPGs these genres become even more loose, since your DM and playgroup will have a lot of influence over the type of story you can expect to experience.
You may not expect your pathfinder campaign to become a horror story about trying to rekindle the love between two eldritch entities before their divorce ends up destroying the universe, but low and behold, your DM has cooked up quite the story indeed!
For this reason, I consider a good majority of TTRPGs blank slates with overarching genres as a primary theme (adventure, usually). They are not so much "queer" or "not queer" as they are "undecided."
D&D is the Taylor Swift of TTRPGs by which I mean it's something with broad mainstream appeal and name recognition and also there are people out there who pretend it's gay
#personal opinions#ttrpgs#queer as a genre#there are premade campaigns with premade stories#but even these have plenty of room for modifications and story changes by those playing#these games should be a means to whatever kind of end is being envisioned#it is the same as reading a story for the first time and understanding it from a personal place#i immediately think of lord of the rings and how important frodo and samwises relationship was to so many gay men#and even that comparison is too rigid for a ttrpg#where the intent is to create your own vision#whereas with my lotr example it is more to do with understanding a story in a different lens than what may have been intended#the intentions of role playing games is always to encourage role playing#and i think its a bit of a disservice to those playing currently and to those looking to play to assert that it can or cannot be something#it is a box of wood and nails and yes you are allowed to bring your own paints

The Sims 3 vs The Sims 4 - which is much better?
The dispute over The Sims 3 vs The Sims 4 as well as which is better is a story as old as time ... or the last 7 years, at least. The Sims 3 introduced back in 2009 and also The Sims 4 arrived 5 years later, so you 'd believe it 'd be hands-down that The Sims 4 would take the crown by being the shinier, newer design? Nope. The Sims area has a split opinion on which one preponderates with some significant differences between the two video games.
So, we're lining them up against each other and also putting The Sims 3 and also The Sims 4 to the best examination, fighting them out on their differences to see which one is much better, or at the very least producing a list which will assist you choose. Sure, The Sims 4 is statistically the best-selling as well as longest-running of the life sim franchise but with each video game has actually come something a little different and we intend to resolve a few of those solid points around gameplay, graphics, as well as features below.
The Sims 3 has a smooth open world yet The Sims 4 has faster loading

We'll begin below since it is by far the most contentious factor of The Sims 3 versus The Sims 4 dispute. EA ecstatic gamers when it introduced the ability to avoid packing displays when taking a trip around in The Sims 3. Certain, The Sims 3 has you arranged.
Whilst The Sims 3 has that smooth nature of travelling in between locations, it comes at a cost. The Sims 4 overall runs faster and consequently has shorter loading screens anyway.
The Sims 3 has Create a Style but The Sims 4 has Produce a Sim.

Successive, The Sims 3 is praised for its Produce a Design, also known as CAS, that allows for a level of customisation that hadn't been seen in The Sims franchise prior to. You can alter practically anything, like your Sims furnishings or their garments, making it specifically how you want. From colors to appearances, for the players out there that love making their Sims world their very own, this is as well as constantly will be a massive hit.
In The Sims 4 though, it's CAS again, but this time around it's Create a Sim. Whilst The Sims 4 eliminated the personalization of Produce a Design seen in The Sims 3, they did update the method you can make your Sim appearance. Up until this factor, Sims just had personalization with sliders readjusting various and limited features. In The Sims 4, you can make your Sims even more realistic by just clicking as well as dragging points of modification from their head to their body. You can also change the way they walk.
The Sims 3 has unlimited great deals yet The Sims 4 has smoother gameplay.

In The Sims 3, you can position all sorts of lot dimensions across the world any place they fit on a flat story of cost-free room. Which leads us to The Sims 3's plentiful offering of 170 great deals to pick from and also fill (if you want!). In The Sims 4, the greatest globe is currently San Myshuno from The Sims 4: City Living with 30 whole lots.
Thankfully, as you may anticipate from a newer game, what The Sims 4 does not have in great deal space it makes up for in its capability to run even more smoothly, as well as with Sims 4 must have mods even more stability than its predecessor. Whilst The Sims 3 has the open world, as we have actually previously stated, sometimes that features an expense of slower handling and glitches. It's not a surprise truly that a video game that appeared later would certainly have accessibility to a new video game engine and also it does.
The Sims 3 has tale development but The Sims 4 has SmartSim.

The Sims 3 presented the capability for the rest of the families in your area to continue gunnerijoh893.de.tl/How-to-get-through-the-tutorial-in-Sims-4-on-PS4.htm regarding their lives when you were playing with your active house. This meant that if you then returned to a family, life had transformed given that you were last there. They might have obtained a work or had a child. It's something that is presently only readily available as a mod for The Sims 4 which tells you that it's something the gamers want.
The Sims 4 sought rather to concentrate on boosting each Sims emotion as well as individuality by presenting SmartSim, the capacity for Sims to be influenced by their surroundings. The style you decide to put in an area can have a real effect on just how your Sim really feels. Comparable to the mood gameplay attribute of previous Sims, feelings enable a Sim to be much more easily impacted by in-game occasions and also social communications making for an extra realistic gameplay experience.
The Sims 3 has autos yet The Sims 3 has streamlined construct and acquire.

Automobiles were presented in The Sims 2 allowing players to drive and own their own flight so that they might travel around. In The Sims 3 however, it's said that it's the very best they've integrated autos as well as other transport right into the Sims world with more to choose from and more methods to engage with them. In The Sims 4, they're simply decorative things you can place outside your residence yet not get in.
While not directly related, The Sims 4 has introduced a much more structured, available develop and also acquire mode, combining both settings which were different prior to. This enables more flawless use both attributes done in one place. The Sims 4 also includes more dragging and adjusting, revolving as well as moving of entire areas, as well as full assimilation of the Gallery feature where players post their family members and also whole lot creations for other gamers to utilize. In The Sims 3, the Gallery isn't the easiest to access or explore and in The Sims 4 they've added a Gallery switch along with optimizing the search performance.
The Sims 3 vs. The Sims 4 - which one has far better growth packs?

Sims expansion packs are literally video game changers. Relying on which ones you've selected to acquire will obviously have an impact on the way you experience the video game and also just how you personally decide which one adds more to the game. They've both obtained 11 to choose from with The Sims 4's most current web content launch, The Sims 4: Home Living, looking to revive the video game. It's likewise worth keeping in mind that The Sims 3 arguably had the very best initial offering at base degree. When The Sims 4 first appeared, it did not have fundamental items like swimming pools as well as the toddler stage of childhood. Both things were later introduced yet the Sim fandom never forgets.
Which is much better out of the Sims 3 as well as Sims 4?

The answer to that inquiry is not a straightforward one. It depends on you to determine from our list what facets of Sim life are more crucial to you. Both video games have their staminas and weak points. If you're seeking a gameplay experience with a huge selection of personality selection and customization, after that The Sims 3 is for you. If you're seeking Sim-specific modification, a development of emotion, as well as a smoother, quicker running video game, then The Sims 4 is your go-to.

Obviously, we're awaiting The Sims 5 to get here and after that we'll have a whole new dispute to address. In the meantime, if you want looking much more right into The Sims 5, we have actually put together our best The Sims 5 wishlist of points we're wishing to see in the latest installment, when it finally gets here. You might recognise a few from The Sims 3 ...

Notes: I was tagged in the “Favorite fic” game where everyone gets to vote on which of my fics I should write a continuation of and Ice It was the winner! If you haven’t already read that fic, you’re going to need to in order to get the full story. Please go check it out here. This was a lot of fun. Thank you for choosing Ice It!

Kiss It
The doctor's visit goes about as well as Shouta expected it to, getting Hizashi there, on the other hand, went much differently than he ever thought it would.
Every other time Hizashi had turned up hurt after patrol, he'd given the other man his bed and slept on the couch, needing to put forth no more effort than dodging some half-hearted teasing from the voice hero. After their shared confession in the bathroom that evening, though, Shouta hadn't thought twice about offering to share his bed. If anything, it had made him wonder just how sincere all those other mumbled, exhausted requests from the blond had been.
Could he have had this sooner? Months ago? Years ago?
Sleeping together was nice, comfortable and warm in ways his bed had never felt before. He'd drifted off thinking he could get used to this, that he never wanted to go back to anything before this. He’d felt satisfied with each breath he took, laced with the light scent of his green tea shampoo mixed with the lingering lavender and vanilla that always seemed to envelope Hizashi’s body. He’d even enjoyed the little creaks his bed frame made when the other man moved, a reminder that he wasn’t alone, that impossibly, that night had really happened.
Waking up had been a different story. The bags of ice he’d placed on Hizashi’s bruised leg had melted, leaving a cold, damp spot on the sheets. The heating pad beneath the voice hero’s aching back had turned off automatically, thankfully, but the cord was twined around Shouta’s hand and wrist. To top it off, somehow, the injured man had wrapped himself around Shouta in his sleep, and by Shouta's own arms and legs tangled in among the blond’s in return, he wasn't the only guilty party.
This had led to a rather painful extraction for both of them, Shouta's ears ringing for a good half hour afterward and Hizashi rubbing tenderly at his chest the entire ride to the hospital.
After a lengthy series of x-rays, and a bashful grin from Hizashi that almost looked like he was proud of the 4 broken ribs the doctor pointed to on the light up screen, they'd been sent back with some painkillers, bandages, a cast and crutches, and a rather forceful recommendation for bed rest. The doctor had said Hizashi was lucky, that the modifications to his body’s internal structure, namely, the extra cartilage that allowed his chest to expand beyond normal when he pulled in air for those powerful shouts, had likely saved him from organ damage.
Shouta had been concerned, making a note to drag Hizashi to a doctor immediately next time this happened, no more playing nurse with an overused and under stocked first aid kit in each other’s bathrooms.
Hizashi had scratched at the baby blue cat Band-Aid over his nose and asked about replacing it for stitches, hardly even paying the idea of a punctured lung any mind, despite it being a rather vital part of his job.
They thanked the doctor and headed out. They'd make a trip to Recovery Girl on Monday to see about setting up a healing schedule to shorten Hizashi’s forced bed rest by a few weeks, but for now, Hizashi seemed happy to spend a few days doing nothing, a nice change of pace for the overwhelmingly busy hero. Shouta had to admit he was a little happy himself. He might have put up a stink about playing Hizashi’s caretaker in the past, but he’d never truly minded it. It usually meant taking some time off himself, and being able to be close to the other man in ways he couldn’t when they were still keeping up their facade of just friends.
After last night, they hadn’t even discussed if Hizashi would be crashing at Shouta’s place until he healed. There was a silent understanding when Shouta helped the other man into the car and opened up a water bottle from the case he kept in his trunk, handing over one of what would probably be many painkillers over the next few days. Hizashi thanked him and leant his head against the window, watching without question as Shouta turned right, rather than left, out of the parking lot.
The blond had yammered on about plans to decorate his crutches and pointed to where he wanted Shouta to sign his cast while it was still being plastered onto his leg. It seemed a bit pointless to Shouta, knowing full well that the cast wasn’t going to be on for the full month the doctor had recommended, but if doodling on the plaster made Hizashi happy, well, then who could blame Shouta for running into a store on the drive home to buy some markers?
When they pull into the parking lot of his apartment complex, he helps Hizashi stand up and makes sure he has a firm grasp on the crutches before shutting the door and trying not to hover too much as he slows his gate to match Hizashi’s speed. They make it to the front door without incident, though Hizashi’s playful smile he’d been wearing all day at the hospital has dropped off completely by the time they’re indoors. A few drops of sweat are gathering along his hairline and Shouta is glad he offered this morning to pull the long strands into a ponytail for the other man.
Hizashi leans heavily against the entranceway wall while Shouta helps slip off his one shoe. When he straightens up, Hizashi’s eyes are closed and he looks exhausted, eyebrows pulled together, breathing through his mouth in short little gasps, probably trying not to aggravate his ribs too much.
“It’ll take a little bit for the pills to kick in,” Shouta says, pulling his sleeve over his hand and using it to dab at Hizashi’s temple. The blond opens one eye and nods slightly.
They’d both been heroes long enough to know plenty well that painkillers never worked as fast as you wanted them to.
“Come on, let’s get you on the couch,” he says, taking the crutches from Hizashi and propping them on the wall, pulling the other man into his side like he’d done the night before, and half-carrying him over to the living room. This seemed to be a bit easier on Hizashi’s chest.
Shouta lays Hizashi down across the cushions and wishes suddenly that he’d listened all those times the self-proclaimed “design expert” had said he needed some throw pillows.
“I’m going to grab some pillows from the bedroom, I’ll be right back.”
“Okay…”
Shouta gives him a small smile and Hizashi’s eyes are barely open at this point, but they curve up into little crescents to match the tired stretch of his lips anyway. Hizashi’s hand moves into a thumbs up before his fingers flatten out across his stomach like the movement had taken the last bit of energy he’d had to spare.
Apparently that high he’d been riding from last night had run out.
That’s fine, Shouta thinks. He would be perfectly happy just letting Hizashi rest.
By the time he comes back out in the living room with his arms stuffed full of pillows, the heating pad, and the fluffy blanket Hizashi had bought him for Christmas last year, the other man is already passed out. His jaw is slack, a small damp spot forming on his shirt where his chin is tucked awkwardly against his shoulder. Shouta snorts and sets everything down on the floor as quietly as possible, and then channels all those years of stealth training to carefully slip a pillow beneath Hizashi’s head without disturbing him. The sleepy man lets out a little hum as he settles into the plush material and Shouta smiles, brushing some of his long hair away from his face.
He’s not really willing to risk sliding the heating pad under Hizashi’s back, knowing that’s bound to rouse him, so he flips the switch on the cord and lays it over his upper chest instead, along where he remembers the click of the doctor’s pen as it tapped against the x-ray display. He pulls the blanket overtop and stands back up, happy with his work.
Shouta eyes the space by Hizashi’s feet. He really wanted to try and squish in next to him, snuggling into all that warmth, far better than his sleeping bag, but this would have to do. If the way neither of them had said anything about Hizashi going back to his place was any indication, he’d have plenty of time to get close to the other man later tonight.
For now, well…
For now, placing Hizashi’s legs overtop his own, and leaning his head along the back of the couch was suitable.
It doesn’t take long for Shouta to drift off too.
---
“Shouta...Shouta...Shhhouuuutaaaa…”
He blinks awake to the sound of someone calling his name, the dim overhead lights in his popcorn ceiling slowly coming into focus as the words get clearer.
“Mmm?” Shouta grumbles.
He feels a light tapping against his lower stomach and looks down to see Hizashi’s good leg poking at him where they’re both still settled on his lap. He turns to see the blond pouting, hair mussed from sleep, with strands of it pulled out of his ponytail, and eyes a little squinty, as if he too just woke up, despite his pleading tone that says he’d been waiting for quite some time.
“What?”
“I’m hungry,” Hizashi whines. “And my everything hurts.”
Shouta looks at the small digital clock on his bookshelf. They’d napped for a number of hours, and he’d passed out before he’d had the chance to set a reminder to give the injured man his next dose of the painkillers the doctor prescribed.
“Sorry,” Shouta says, running a hand through his hair as guilt seeps in. “I should have woken you up to give you more meds.”
“What happened to ‘sleep is the perfect medicine’?”
Shouta quirks his eyebrow, says, “Does it feel perfect right now?”
“No, it feels like I need to brush my teeth and I’m starving, Shouta.”
“Doubtful,” he retorts, but leans over Hizashi’s legs, careful of the cast, to grab his cell phone from where he’d left it on the coffee table. “Takeout?”
“Delivery.”
Shouta snorts, saying, “Are you paying that fee?”
“I can’t be left alone, Sho, I’m injured. What if I had to go to the bathroom and fell on the way and you were out getting food while I was suffocating on the carpet, unable to push myself up?”
“You could turn your head.”
“I broke my neck on the way down.”
“I’m not sure you deserve to live if that’s how you die.”
“Shouta!”
They both burst into a fit of laughter, Hizashi holding his sides and groaning as he tries to stop his giggles from affecting his broken ribs. Shouta wants to stop laughing, stop egging him on, but trying to stifle himself just makes tears gather in the corners of his eyes. He tries to turn his face away and cover his mouth as Hizashi yells, “stop! S-stop! Shouta! Pfff Sh-Shouta” through his laughter.
By the time they’ve both calmed down, their faces are flushed pink and Shouta’s smile is nearly as big as Hizashi’s.
“Okay, delivery.”
They make it about halfway through dinner before Hizashi’s painkillers kick in and he quietly tilts over from where Shouta had positioned him to sit up to eat, and rests his head on Shouta’s shoulder. Hizashi looks up at him, big green eyes still shining under droopy lids, and blinks slowly, each one seeming to take just a little more energy than the last.
“Ready for bed?” Shouta asks.
“I could stay up longer…”
“I’ll lay down with you,” Shouta says, and he’s surprised how easy this all is, how seamlessly their friendship is transitioning into something more, as if this was the way it was always supposed to be. As he slips his arm around Hizashi to rub soothing at his lower back, further lulling the other man into slumber, he still can’t believe it.
“I’ll read or something...or knowing me...I’ll probably just fall asleep too,” he admits, shrugging.
Hizashi smiles against his shirt and nods. His hand moves up off the couch to fall onto Shouta’s thigh. Two little pats, and then, Hizashi says, “Sounds perfect to me.”
---
Hizashi does a remarkable job keeping his exuberant voice hero personality dialed up to 10 while also sporting a full cast, crutches, and several bandages on his face. He shoots every single staring student a staggering smile, and impressively manages to keep his pain to nothing more than a twitch at the corner of his mouth and a little extra grip around his crutches. Shouta stays beside him, giving each kid a glare after Hizashi’s grin to encourage them to move along faster.
He didn’t like the way Hizashi’s right shoulder was starting to shake beneath all that leather.
They finish off a conversation with a 3rd year boy who somehow doesn’t get the hint even with Shouta’s harsh stare, just a few feet away from Recovery Girl’s office, and Shouta has never been so relieved to slide open those doors and get that instant waft of sterile cleaning chemicals.
Hizashi limps in behind him and he closes the door, the blond letting out a heavy sigh as he makes his way to the closest bed and gingerly lowers himself down.
“I was expecting you’d be here a little earlier than this,” Recovery Girl says, twisting around in her chair before hopping down and grabbing her cane. She makes her way slowly over to them, giving Shouta a sweeping full body glance he doesn’t deserve on her way by. He hadn’t done anything reckless lately, but he can’t blame her, he was by often enough that it was likely a habbit at this point.
She stops in front of Hizashi and clicks her tongue, lightly tapping his cast with her cane.
“So what’s first, then, hmm?” she asks. “I looked at the x-rays your doctor sent over. I think we should start with the ribs, but if the leg is giving you more discom-”
“My face, please,” Hizashi interrupts.
Shouta has to do a double take.
He and Recovery Girl say, “What?” simultaneously.
“I want you to heal my face first, if that’s alright with you?” he asks again, taking off his glasses.
Recovery Girl raises an eyebrow and Shouta frowns.
“Hizashi, a few stitches aren’t a big deal. You should have her heal your ribs, you can’t make it down the hall without breaking into a sweat,” Shouta says.
Hizashi just smiles at him, soft and tired. His eyes are half-lidded in a way that makes Shouta’s chest tighten.
This was dangerous.
They’d only been romantically involved for maybe 72 hours and he was willing to give Hizashi whatever he wanted.
Shit, gotta remember not to spoil him.
Recovery Girl sighs and reaches out for Hizashi’s collar, tugging him down a little rougher than necessary, probably just to get the wince she knew would be there from his jostled chest to prove her point. He leans down and she pushes up on her tippy-toes, kissing his forehead, and Shouta watches the purple bruises around Hizashi’s lip and nose and eye all start to fade away.
It was a stupid request, but she’d done it anyway, snipping off his stitches and wiping away the adhesive from the bandage on his nose. When Hizashi swayed a little too much in response to the quirk-enhanced healing, she told him to come back in two days to start chipping away at the rest of his injuries.
“No more vanity-healing, you hear?” she’d said, giving his cheek a pat with her hand.
They’d thanked her, Shouta promising to drag Hizashi back, and headed back down the long hall. Hizashi was almost entirely silent, his movements a bit slower, but a little smile stayed fastened to his lips the whole walk through U.A, and into the parking lot.
It’s not until Hizashi is situated in his seat and Shouta shuts the car door that the voice hero comes to life, immediately turning toward him, cheeks dimpled by his large grin, smile lines forming around the corner of his eyes. Shouta narrows his own eyes, looking at him suspiciously, and reaches out with the intention of gently pushing the other man back against his seat, concerned that the way Hizashi is turned toward him would be uncomfortable for an uninjured person, let alone someone still nursing broken ribs. He doesn’t make it that far, though, as Hizashi’s hand wraps around his wrist to stop him, guiding Shouta’s arm down to the middle console between them. He maneuvers their hands and Shouta is a little surprise how easy it is for his fingers to find the gaps between Hizashi’s. It’s been maybe 5 seconds since they’d entered the car and now they’re holding hands.
It’s hard to believe it has only been a few days since Hizashi came stumbling into his apartment and knocked over every expectation, and every semblance of reality Shouta had built up in his life.
Wasn’t it that same morning that he’d stared a little too long at Hizashi’s lips when the other man said his daily “see you later, Eraser” as they waved goodbye after classes had ended for the day? Wasn’t it that same drive home, in this same car, when he’d paused at a stop sign for a bit too long, thinking about calling Hizashi and seeing if he wanted to hang out that weekend, wanted to sit on his couch with a good foot of buffer space between them that Hizashi would inevitably invade, just to drive Shouta and his crush a little bit more insane?
Hadn’t he written this off the same day that Hizashi made it all happen?
Now he’s holding hands with his best friend and somehow feeling like he’s the breathless one.
“Hiz-”
“Kiss me.”
Shouta’s eyes widen, his mouth still open, and Hizashi’s name fallen off his lips and somewhere into the space between them.
“W-what?”
“You promised,” Hizashi says, and his fingers press into the back of Shouta’s hand as his grip tightens. “You said when my lip was healed, you’d kiss me.”
Hizashi’s other hand moves up to his mouth, where he peels off the butterfly bandages that had been holding his split lip together, the ones they’d traded the cartoon cat one for when they’d gone to the doctor. Shouta watches as his skin is revealed again, a light pink hue of a freshly healed wound, but no more blood, no scratches, no scabs.
Hizashi makes a kissy face, his mustache twitching above his upper lip.
Shouta laughs.
Hizashi’s perfect, freshly healed lips start forming a pout, but Shouta’s not about to have that, not now, not when everything is new and warm and his heart feels full in a way it never has before. So he let’s go of Hizashi’s hand and he moves it to the blond’s face instead, cupping his cheek, letting his thumb run over that soft, smooth skin, and watching Hizashi’s green eyes glisten in the sunlight streaming in over Shouta’s shoulder through the car’s window. He leans in and his lips find Hizashi’s, fitting together so seamlessly, like this was where they were always meant to be. He closes his eyes and moves his hand around to the back of Hizashi’s head, pulling him in closer, tilting him back a bit as he deepens the kiss.
Hizashi lets out a happy hum and Shouta feels one of the other man’s hands grip the hem of his shirt, as the other lands on his thigh.
It must only be a few seconds, but Shouta swears the whole day passes in that moment.
When they pull back, Hizashi’s grin has returned in full force, and if Shouta was a man of more words he might tell him that he looks perfect, stunning even, because both of those things are true.
Instead, he smiles back at Hizashi, stroking his thumb along the blond’s cheek one more time, and says, “Promise kept.”

As only 1 member of breakthrough died and its not yet clear who should be the one suffering for a long time (i think the suffering was for either byron with his wounds or emotionally for kenzie), who do you think wouldve been the other death?
LONG POST ANSWER UNDER CUT WOOHOO LETS DO THIS
So a couple months back, I covered my death predictions for ward here. I still stand by those to a certain extent, even if circumstances have changed. If we’re going under the assumption that Contessa’s “out of comission” line actually meant death, and Byron doesn’t count for the second person, I have a few ideas on who’s toast.
Finale Tier: Kenzie, Victoria, Rain
These are all the characters I’m assuming will make it all the way to the end of Ward. Kenzie has plenty of plot relevance/character development left, though I’m not sure she’ll survive through the epilogue, considering how all her problems relate back to a desire to connect, and the shards are looking for a new hub. Throw in her teammates/friends, whose powers are the Queen Administrator bud and the literal power to connect people, and Kenzie seems like she’s going to be important towards the end.
Rain is kind of a throwaway here, and before Dying, I would have guessed he’d be pretty likely to die. However, his character arc is on the upswing right now, He’s patching things up with his cluster, getting better with his powers, and is even making friends outside of Breakthrough! It’s pretty easy to get better when you start off at rock bottom, so I’m really pulling for Rain to get a happy ending. His dream room is probably going to play a big part from here on out, so him dying out of the blue would be very surprising to me.
Victoria is pretty damn likely to live up until the end, considering her role as Ward’s narrator. Though knowing Wildbow’s tendency to destroy his protagonists right at the end of his stories, I’m not sure Victoria will be making it out of this one. I can hope so, especially considering how Ward is about recovery and giving Vic a “happy ending” would be thematically consistent, but the Waste Shard is unpredictable and wants to trigger. Who knows what kind of disaster will come into play there.
Middling Tier: Tristan, Byron, Sveta
These are the characters who are more “at risk,” in my opinion.
Tristan is Tristan. His family life is a mess, his social life is in shambles, and he’s barely keeping it together with Byron out of commission. I expect some sort of strange role reversal with him and Byron, where he switches out with Byron last minute to save his brother’s life, but we already saw a similar scenario play out in Dying. All I’m saying is that unless someone figures out a way to separate Tristan and Byron, neither of them are getting a happy ending unless the other is out of the picture :(
Byron has pretty similar reasons as Tristan, but he seems to have more going for him in terms of personal stakes and potential (Yes, I’m thinking about the Vista thing again.) I’m not sure whether that makes him more or less at risk, so I’ll just put him in the same spot as Tristan.
Listen. This may just be the Sveta fan in me saying this, but I really can’t imagine a situation where Sveta dies before anybody else, excepting Victoria. Killing her off would be like killing Tattletale off in Worm. We got a lot of momentum out of her in her interlude/the interrogation arc, but just as Ashley’s loss was crushing to Kenzie, Sveta’s death would devastate Victoria. I want to see what’s happening to her now, post breakup, post body modification, and what all this means for her future. She’s relevant to the Contessa and Number Lad situations, if that counts as plot armor. So, let’s just all cross our fingers and hope Sveta gets the happy ending she’s always talking about. Is that too much to ask?
Resurrection Tier: Ashley, Chris
Oh Ashley. You were gone from this world too soon. I reread her final scene a couple times since last Saturday, and I’m ready to say it–that was a good fucking end to a really awesome character. As sad as I was to see Ashley go, I’m not sure I want her to come back. This next arc is already focusing on her absence and Breakthrough’s changing dynamics, so bringing her back would feel cheesy and unnecessary if not given the proper time and development. Maybe this is more along the lines of finale material, if even then. In the meantime we can have the possibility of Slashley, Kenzie and Victoria’s continuing grief, and endless, endless fluffy fanworks.
Did you really think I was going to leave Chris out of this? His character arc, Amy, and the whole Earth Shin drama is yet another unresolved thing, and I have a pretty good feeling we’ll be seeing more of them, just so that Victoria can get some closure. Chris was mentioned multiple times in this most recent chapter, and I sincerely feel like it could be foreshadowing (similar to Aunt Sarah’s return) of something to come. Here’s hoping Chris will be resurrected from his plot-irrelevance role, and return with an extra helping of asshole commentary.

The Awful Side of Fallout 76
It's not what fans were clamouring for, I think that it's reasonable to say, and a few feathers are being ruffled with these rumours. When you're much less happy in love or your heart was broken the world can look as a gloom and doom kind of place. If you truly love your fiance it may not be simple to stay with her after she has cheated but it is going to definitely not be simple to walk away. Blowing things up has never been simpler. Heading from here, you will need to head west and watch out for an old-looking metallic shack. The room includes a slew of items apparently each and every item in the game including the most effective stuff together with some goodies that haven't even arrived in Fallout 76 yet. However, it turned into a distinctive companion which didn't follow you and only showed up on particular maps. Players will also have to guarantee they are level 25 so as to utilize it. It's possible to roll and reroll your first Desert Ranger party till you get the stats you would like. The settlement founding is going to be expanded relative to Fallout 4so the players may build bases anywhere they wish to. Our main problem then was that we didn't have the comprehensive resolution to find a number of the finer details. Hence the purchasing procedure is definitely safe. If you wish to craft Excavator power armor, black titanium ore is a particular resource you'll need. The Hidden Facts About Fallout 76 How misguided it's to remove the 1 factor of that function that made it special. Although postpartum hair loss may be severe it's usually temporary and generally it will gradually resume back to a normal state. Logistically, it simply is logical. Just don't become mad once the game dishes out more than it is possible to potentially take on alone! Those few players which weren't playing the most significant and most prosperous game on the planet still had plenty of distinct things to do. It's a specific sort of role-playing game. If offline play is included in addition to private servers this might well be something special. Seasoned Fallout players ought to be aware there's no workshop stash. As usual, in this moment, Fallout 76 gamers will be not able to log into or play the game until server maintenance was completed. One of the serious issues with this specific game is that it's a game based off the d20 Modern system. That's aboutallthat's notable about this specific game. What people assume will happen is it will be a completely free game full of microtransactions that ruin progress for the interest of profit. With over 257,000 seats, the world's most renowned race track supplies a substantial variety of seating options. With Smithing, all you need to do is visit the shop and purchase some ingots and leather strips. The only person who's accountable for the way that your life works out is you. Fallout 76 at a Glance The standard of Fallout's intuitive role-playing can largely be credited to the caliber of the game's writing. Fallout's world has ever been mine. No matter in which you stand with Fallout 76, it's necessary for you to admit that it appears like Bethesda is attempting to do the correct thing with the game. To begin with, you should pre-order Fallout 76. Fallout is a potential movie dependent on the Fallout collection of games. Each Fallout is actually based in a particular state. Very similar to the games, though in a pen-and-paer RPG it's somewhat needless. It was also my initial proper RPG which I played, so that was also a fantastic experience and a great game to get started with. If you're searching for a hack for Fallout for Savage Worlds, this isn't a bad first place to begin.
Howard says Bethesda has ever wished to tell the story of the initial individuals who left the vault. People took the opportunity to play out all the different outcomes. Acceptance is the stage that you ought to strive for. There are additional men and women. One of the biggest issues that gamers and reviewers alike appear to agree on is the comprehensive deficiency of Non-Playable Characters. A couple days back, people started to whisper about its existence in Fallout 76 on Reddit, with an increasing number of people hunting for it. How to Choose Fallout 76 The event itself is the greatest gaming convention to dateshowcasing the most significant and brightest talent in the business and enabling loyal patrons and gamers to acquire a very first look in addition to play the most recent titles. Obviously it is not feasible to experience each change, but the main changes come in the shape of performance and stability, where Bethesda notes that various client and server-side changes are made to enhance the general stability of the game and boost the operation of the game across quite a few end-user systems. Since it didn't provide pre-launch review code, we've only been able to spend our single day playing in this strange new land alongside the rest of the audience. 3 Important Tips Prospecting Tips Instead, you should put yourself in the front of the suitable target industry. An employee retention specialist will use a productive system which will enable your company to create the essential modifications or improvements that will motivate your staff to remain put.

RAGE INSIDE YOUR MACHINE: How Your Brain Makes You Mad
“The best way to control your anger is to control your body.” — Jiu Jitsu Master Rickson Gracie to Edward Norton (as Dr. Bruce Banner) in the 2008 film, The Incredible Hulk.
Bill Bixby terrified me. He’s the actor who played Dr. David Bruce Banner on the 70’s tv show, The Incredible Hulk. Bixby was a harmless looking guy, but when he’d flash those white pupils — signaling the surge in hormones that were about to transform him — I’d shit myself. The transition from man to monster, the anticipation of the horror that awaited, the build up to the inevitable carnage and destruction scared me to death. When the mild mannered scientist changed into his green alter ego, his brow widened, skin turned bright green and clothes tore from the out of control growth of his freakish muscles (while his pants always ended up making the perfect pair of shorts). Frightening.
I’d hide behind the couch whenever someone pissed Dr. Banner off. My older brother and sister thought it was hilarious, but I dreaded that moment. It reminded me that we lived with our own version of the Hulk.
My father, a giant in my eyes, would go from doting dad to terror inducing tormentor in a flash. He was the scariest monster I knew — I’d hide under desks and fake Illnesses when I knew he was angry. Given the choice, I would have taken my chances with Dr. Banner or the devil himself over my dad’s fury.
I thought I had inherited my father’s anger. Certainly, genetics played a part, but rage had also been programmed into me — to deal with a loud voice with a louder one. To conquer violence with violence. To shout down dissent in my own defense.
I worked my entire life to overcome what I and those around me deemed an anger management issue. It wasn’t frequent, but it was more intense than anyone was used to seeing. Level ten anger for a level four problem. The kind of anger that makes people of all ages want to hide under desks or behind couches.
Was I just mimicking what I’d learned as a kid? Did the build up I felt that led to the eventual eruption signify a flaw in my makeup or morality? Was I just an angry, abusive asshole at heart? All the therapy, books and lectures hadn’t helped. I still didn’t have control!
I’ve spent three decades searching for the source and solution for the anxiety and depression that made so many of my days miserable. I never examined the anger itself. The intense, rage filled outbursts I experienced were how everyone expressed anger in our home. I just happened to be the most intense of us all. I thought level ten anger was normal.
But it never felt good afterwards — I’d be exhausted. Not the good kind of exhausted, like after a grueling workout or savage sex. More like when Banner was just waking up, clothes shredded but somehow still on him, despite the fact that he was several times larger in his agitated state — fearful that he may have done some irreparable damage. I’d be groggy, sometimes in tears, breathing hard, wondering how my temper had gotten away from me again.
I ruined more than one Thanksgiving, pooped on plenty of parties and played the role of Debbie Downer on more occasions than I care to remember. Sure, the triggers were there, but my reactions were so unbelievably over the top that I was too embarrassed to go back and apologize — even though I always wanted to. Worst of all, the people I lost it on were often the ones I loved the most.
In my fits of anger, I became the meanest version of my father. Eyes bulging from his skull (partially because of his chronic thyroid condition), neck and forehead veins threatening to burst, a primal snarl through clenched teeth. Then, a voice louder than the horn on a battleship — violent hatred punctuating every decibel.
I’d punch walls or bash my own head against the nearest hard surface when I got angry. I’ve broken furniture, thrown appliances and crushed wine glasses in my hand at restaurants. The rage would only last for about twenty minutes — three or four episodes a year. The rest of the time, I was a tree hugging hippy at heart who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
That’s why it killed me so much each time I lost control. I wanted to be kind, and I knew what it felt like to be around someone scary. It sucked. Being on edge, walking on eggshells to avoid the explosions. Constant tension.
Some of my jiu jitsu buddies once nicknamed me “Buddha” because I appeared to be meditating when I sparred. They said that it seemed like I could take a nap in the middle of a match. On the days when I felt at peace, I conquered my internal demons by being calm in the face of physical conflict. In real life, when anxiety would hit, the reverse was true. Facing no real threat, fear would grip my body, and I would either whither away or explode to defend myself from an imaginary adversary.
My reactions were over the top because I felt so vulnerable. It always seemed that my mom was afraid I’d get hurt as a kid. I remember stories about how my family almost lost me as a baby or how my aunt saved me from certain death somehow. I felt weak and fragile. Seeing violence break out nearly every day on the streets of my childhood neighborhood only made the fear more real. Whether in a classroom, on the bus or in the bedroom I shared with my volatile older brother, I always had to be on my toes.
It’s no accident that I became a champion bodybuilder and martial artist. Though I wanted to focus on academics, I knew I couldn’t just rely on my mind. I needed to look strong. I needed to be confident in a fight. I didn’t want to be bothered and I didn’t want to be scared anymore. Back then, I didn’t know that it’s normal to be afraid before a fight. I thought there was something wrong with me because of it, so I worked to make that feeling go away.
But the extreme, explosive anger I exhibited as a 113 pound thirteen year old boy was the same I expressed in my twenties. I had grown into a 250 pound ball of muscle by then, and my devastating bite could be even worse than my terrifying bark. On the inside I was the same fragile person I had always been. To anyone that saw me angry, I was a scary beast.
So, like Dr. Banner seeking out Rickson Gracie to calm his inner beast, I sought peace through activity and non-activity. I gained more control over the outbursts. But when I began having episodes on days that I stuck to my rituals and felt good, I knew there had to be more to my anger than self-control. Until then, I had only addressed the depression and anxiety that I experienced since childhood. I had never looked at the anger directly, or at how it made me feel about myself.
Uncontrollable anger was the source of a lot of my shame. Self-control was always what I was after — the freedom to not be a slave to emotion. The power to never instill the kind of fear in another person that my father instilled in me. When I failed to control my anger, it was as if I devolved into my genetic predecessor — morphing into my father despite my best efforts — as if I didn’t have a choice. All the hard work of a lifetime would be gone in a burst of rage.
The realization that this anger persists under the surface inspired me to examine it beyond my triggers, or the deeply personal meanings I’ve attached to them. Rather than only experiencing and then lamenting these explosive outbursts, I wanted to understand why they happened. To do so would take being honest with myself about the circumstances surrounding triggering episodes, as well as a firmer grasp of the general causes of anger. This process has helped me to step outside my anger for the first time, depersonalizing the rage and allowing me to observe it from a distance.
I could finally understand how incredibly out of proportion my reactions were once I reexamined the triggers with my rational mind. This was aided by the fact that my latest episode took place in a hotel room covered in mirrors. I was forced to watch myself go through the entire thing. I had never seen my face — my eyes — at level ten anger. I think I may have scared myself straight.
Observing yourself in an explosive anger episode will either drive you deep into a depressive hole or kick you in the ass to figure out why you can’t seem to keep yourself together. This time, I berated myself for a day before deciding to figure out what was going on in my head, so that I can fix it.
GETTING IN YOUR OWN HEAD
The shameful hangover that persists after an episode of explosive rage will only go away when failure to self-regulate isn’t simply labeled a lack of discipline. Subconsciously reprogramming limiting beliefs that have kept you stuck in negative patterns is critical for change, but so is identifying the physiological markers of anger that serve to prep you for confrontation. Knowing that there is more happening in your head than meets the eye gives you an enormous advantage in correcting emotional disregulation. Only then can you train yourself to recognize when you need to course adjust , shutting down your body’s irrational reaction before it gets out of hand.
While traditional therapy and behavioral modification may be key in recovery, ignoring the chemical component of explosive anger is discounting the twisted scaffolding on which the ego is built. Brain function is the invisible variable that turns some of us from Jekyll to Hyde — Banner to Hulk.
There are two parts of your noggin that are key in processing anger:
The Anterior Cingulate Cortex has connections to both the prefrontal cortex (reasoning) and the limbic system (emotion).
The Amygdala — made up of almond shaped clusters inside the temporal lobes — is also a part of the limbic system, which governs emotion.
An inactive Anterior Cingulate Cortex or an overactive Amygdala can both lead to poor decision making and antisocial behavior .
The Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) regulates rational cognitive function. This area of the brain affects decision making, empathy, impulse control, and reward anticipation. It connects your emotions to your actions and intercedes by considering the repercussions when your lizard brain wants to impulsively lash out at someone or something.
According to leading ADHD researcher Dr. Russel Barkley, clinical professor of psychiatry at the VCU Medical Center, the ACC does nothing in ADHD brains. There is no stopping to self-regulate the emotional state — no holding you back from making decisions that could be detrimental to a future you’re incapable of imagining.
Because ADHD is a failure of the inhibition system, Barkley says it’s critical to decouple events from responses. This can only happen when you stop and engage the prefrontal cortex to devise rational responses to triggers. Acting on impulse can be disastrous.
What Barkley describes as a “nearsightedness in time” leaves those with ADHD blind to the future. Unable to anticipate the consequences of their actions and incapable of self-regulation, they often impulsively act out against their own long term self interest. This can sometimes have severe financial, social and legal consequences.
Barkley suggests designing “prosthetic environments” to elicit behavior modification and assist in self-regulation. By externalizing pieces of information with hand written or electronic notes and reminders, envisioning future events and the sequence in which they should take place becomes easier.
In their book, Nudge, Nobel prize winning economist Richard H. Thaler and Cass R Sunstein describe the vast number of ways our decisions can be influenced by subtle suggestions. Strategically placing reminders to curtail or reinforce behavior, building in immediate rewards and consequences, and manually problem solving whenever possible can prop up executive function and lead to better decision making and fewer outbursts.
While the ACC takes into account consequences, the amygdala is a group of structures in the brain that process strong emotions, particularly fear — provoking an automatic fight or flight response. Amygdala hijack (a term coined by psychologist Daniel Goleman) occurs when the amygdala disables the frontal lobes (which govern reason and higher level cognition) and limits some unessential functions in order to prepare the body for conflict. Stress hormones flood your system, pupils dilate, heart races, blood vessels constrict and pressure rises. While being on high alert is helpful when facing life or death situations, putting your body through the emotional ringer on a regular basis due to everyday stress will break you down mentally and physically.
Setting off this chemical dance are the triggers that sit atop the surface of your mind like land mines hastily planted by everyone you’ve ever known — buried under all the shit you only think you remember. The stories you tell yourself set off a tingling sensation when someone reminds you of what you don’t want to be. Your thoughts travel and the feeling in your body transports you to a different time and place. The explosions go off, cortisol and adrenaline flood your system and you react as if you are there again.
Individuals with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) exhibit repeated, explosive, sudden episodes of rage that are drastically out of proportion to the trigger. These outbursts can manifest as verbal or physical abuse, destruction of property or personal harm. A study published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology looked at brain scans of patients with IED. Researchers found that the white matter connecting the frontal lobe (decision making, emotion, understanding consequences) and the parietal lobe (language and sensory input) had less integrity and density than in healthy brains or those with other psychiatric disorders.
With what is essentially the wiring between these two regions of the brain damaged, communication becomes limited. Unable to take in all the information available, you only hear the things that confirm the irrational notions of your lizard brain. Everything becomes an attack. You are looking for the insult that will reinforce the shitty way you feel about yourself. Acting as if everyone is out to get you will miraculously make people want to stay away.
In her book, The Upside of Anger, Dr. Kelly McGonigal argues that it’s our own interpretation of stress that turns it negative. McGonigal says that if we view stress as our body’s way of preparing us for whatever comes next, a rapid pulse can mean excitement instead of fear. McGonigal’s research shows that this shift in perspective leads to physiological changes. Blood vessels no longer violently constrict when the heart pumps faster. However, the organ itself is still fed more nutrients, making it stronger. As in the physical stress put on your body when you exercise, as long as you do not overtrain, the increased demand over time creates greater capacity. According to Dr. McGonigal, a heart pumping vigorously while blood vessels stay relaxed, “looks like what happens in moments of joy, or courage.”
Meditation is an invaluable tool for transforming your reaction to stress. Dedicating time every day to practicing stillness is the best training for both recognizing the onset of symptoms (by learning to notice subtle changes in your internal state) and shutting down a reaction before any negative physiological effects take hold by instantly being still. Building my meditation muscles before figuring out what was wrong with my wiring helped me find the quiet space between trigger and reaction to perceive my anger differently.
If you see anger as an alarm signaling that some potentially nasty shit is being released into your body, you may pump the breaks when you feel yourself losing control. Doing otherwise is knowingly poisoning yourself. Once you realize what’s happening inside you when you are triggered, you’ll be able to direct the process through conscious attention. The feelings won’t trigger irrational action, but thoughtful consideration. Not only of the steps to take next, but of the source of your emotional response — thereby allowing you to choose to react differently.
When the flutter in your chest and butterflies in your stomach signify fear to your mind, your body will act afraid and your thoughts will race. The bells and whistles that go off under your skin will take on new meaning if you train your body to sit still when your mind wants to sprint. With a little knowledge and a lot of discipline, you can, in the words of the late Ted Cassidy, “control the raging spirit that dwells within.”

Eight ways wine will change in 2020 - more lifestyle
What a decade this has been for wine—both good and bad.The 2010s saw the rise of serious global concern (at last!) about the effect of climate change on wine. That will continue big time, especially with 2019’s scorching heat waves in France and catastrophic fires in Sonoma, Calif., and South Australia.The rosé juggernaut of the past decade continues, as luxury players move in to Provence. LVMH acquired two rosé producers last year, including a majority share of Château d’Esclans, maker of ubiquitous Whispering Angel. Chanel, owner of three Bordeaux châteaux, snapped up Domaine de l’Ile.Natural wine captured the zeitgeist of the decade, which ended with trade wars slamming wine in the form of U.S. tariffs on French, German, and Spanish reds and whites, with the uncertainty of more to come in 2020. Brexit is still a problem, and wine caves, once a major tourism attraction in Napa, Calif., turned into political footballs. (Tip for cave owners: Don’t turn on the chandelier.)Hard seltzer also captured hearts, minds, and tongues this past year, with sales surging 210% in the U.S. To my dismay, they’re poised to triple by 2023, according to the drinks market analysts at IWSR. Why not make wine spritzers?On the plus side, fizz continues to effervesce, even though the French are drinking much less Champagne. To supply ever-increasing global demand (and at lower prices), Brazil, California, New Zealand, Oregon, and Tasmania are producing better sparklers than ever.At least, unlike the roaring ’20s of a century ago, 2020 won’t begin with Prohibition.Here’s what else I see in my crystal glass for 2020:- Global warming will ramp up wine experiments everywhereYou’ll see the bottled results of dozens of experiments, and more will be started. Sparkling wine from Nova Scotia? Definitely. Historic and new hybrid grapes that can cope with heat better? Spain’s Torres winery is on it; ditto Bordeaux, Champagne, and Napa. Fresher, brighter whites from high-altitude vineyards? Look to Chile and Argentina, including even the cold extremities of Patagonia.- Unfussy piquette will become a thingCasual, low-cost, and low-alcohol drinks that offer gluggable simplicity are having a moment, and they’ll be even more important in 2020.The fashion for pét-nats (pétillant naturel wines) and even hard seltzer (ugh!) are part of this trend. The latest addition is piquette, a worker’s drink popular centuries ago. Not technically a wine, it’s made by fermenting pomace—the leftover skins, seeds, and stems of grapes—to create a drink that’s 4% to 9% in alcohol with light bubbles to perk it up. It’s zippy and refreshing, akin to a sour beer. Wild Arc Farm in the Hudson Valley released four in 2019, including one in cans.- You’ll learn about wine in spaceThe past decade has seen wineries experiment with aging their wines under the sea. For 2020 and beyond, they’ll look to space.This past November, Luxembourg-based Space Cargo Unlimited started a project that sent bottles of red wine to the International Space Station to be aged for 12 months. The idea is to investigate how exposure to more radiation and microgravity affect the evolution of a wine’s components. When the wine returns, the University of Bordeaux will analyze it and compare it with wines aged on Earth.- The no- and low-alcohol movement will gain a foothold The health and wellness craze will affect wine beyond the idea of “Dry January.” Cutting back on how much you imbibe will be one of the biggest drinks trends of 2020, according to London-based retailer Bibendum. Alcohol-free Real Kombucha, introduced in 2017, is now available at more than 50 Michelin-starred restaurants and touted as an alternative to sauvignon blanc.Expect a boost of interest in organic and biodynamic wines—“health-focused” wine club Dry Farm Wines claims its offerings are all-natural and lab-tested for purity—as well as those naturally low in alcohol, such as riesling, lightly fizzy Spanish txakoli, and slightly sweet Italian moscato d’Asti. All are far more delicious and just as healthy as wines from “clean wine” companies such as FitVine. - You’ll buy luxury wines from vending machinesInsert token, receive a small bottle of Moët & Chandon brut or rosé. What could be simpler? Nabbing a bottle at a test machine in the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Fla., was cheaper, more convenient, and more fun than waiting for room service. New York got its first machine in October, and in 2020 Moët plans to spread 100 of them across the U.S. (You can even buy your own—$35,000 at Neiman Marcus—but stocking it with 360 mini-bottles costs extra.)The machines reflect the growing demand for instant access, even for luxury wines. Expect other wine companies to jump on this bandwagon. But because of France’s alcohol laws, don’t look for one in Paris.- Enotourism will get biggerFor starters, a €100 million ($112 million) World of Wine project is opening in 2020 across the Douro River from the city of Porto. The Fladgate Partnership, owner of several top port houses, is transforming 300-year-old warehouses into a series of wine experiences including a wine school and cork museum.In France, Champagne Bollinger is opening its doors to the public via membership in its special Club 1829, Château Lafite Rothschild will open a new hospitality center and wine school at Château Duhart-Milon in time for harvest, and Burgundy breaks ground this month on its own Cité des Vins.But the most interesting new wine travel development is the global DIY winemaking timeshare the Vines Global. Membership will let aspiring vineyard owners test their mettle making wine in a dozen regions with top winemakers. It started in Tuscany’s Montalcino last September; next year it will add Priorat, Spain, and two other places, with more to come.Just want to see vineyards? The World’s Best Vineyards, a new annual ranking of the 50 most amazing ones to visit, will help you know where to go.- Wine packaging will surprise youNo longer a fad, canned wines are expected to reach sales of $4.6 billion by 2024. Now that canning has been normalized, and higher-quality wines skip the traditional glass bottle, keep a lookout for ever more innovative packaging: refillable, reusable jugs and flat bottles made from recycled plastic, as well as green-friendly components such as zero-carbon corks.As for the staid wine label, more than 500 wineries across the globe are turning to augmented reality to bring labels to life through apps. And in Washington state, Chateau Ste. Michelle’s new Elicit Wine Project will act as an innovation hub for brands to take an info-rich, creative look at names, labels, and bottle design; for instance, its Fruit & Flower brand comes in both cans and bottles with themed label images to mirror the flavors of the wine inside.- Wine shops will become less conventionalU.K. department store John Lewis has added bookable wine master classes. Stranger Wines in Brooklyn, N.Y., plays vintage vinyl records and is expanding to snacks, and Manhattan’s just-opened Peoples is a wine bar that doubles as a retail wine shop, even if they have to have separate entrances because of liquor laws.Nielsen predicts AR and virtual reality technology will transform wine shops with navigation apps and electronic shelf beacons. The future will surely bring artificial intelligence-powered robot assistants. At the same time, buying online via phone apps will soar, again helped along by new technology.But as the year progresses, I still have plenty of questions. Will wine lovers continue to lust after the wines LeBron James posts on Instagram? Will interactive wine lists on tablets take over in Michelin-starred restaurants? Will South Africa be the value region of the year? I’ll be watching and reporting on these stories and many more in 2020.(This story has been published from a wire agency feed without modifications to the text.)Follow more stories on Facebook and Twitter Read the full article

Ask Me Anything: 10 Answers to Your Questions About www.gtadownload.org/
Game description GTA 4
Rockstar's vivid story of Niko Bellic, the immigrant with convictions strong sufficient to help explode him from the crumbling bases of Liberty City's earth of organized offense, is at once out on PC. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games shipped this past April, with this one you'll get a few modifications and additions those who waited are sure to understand. Despite what's been put in, if you've already joined in the unit versions it's hard to commend picking this up, even though it now includes space for approximately 32 persons now it is multiplayer games and a robust, easy to use replay editor for reputation and making clips from your in-game actions.
The Grand Theft Auto franchise rocketed to pile popularity after Grand Theft Auto III's freedom with the ground laws were decided for a different kind of game. Since then we've seen slight modifications and squeezes to the center formula with Vice City and San Andreas, and GTA 4 represents another move forward. This is a game to strips down many the much more zany problem from games past. You won't be making any remote control helicopter vision or lowrider matching problems here. Rather, the emphasis is located in realism, a more mature awareness, and cause GTA into the present day.
Leave by buying with your cousin Roman, a small time operator flat to get exaggeration, you'll move your way upward in criminal rings until you find what you want. Unlike GTA makeup in the previous, though, Niko isn't trying to establish himself because some sort of badass for the ages, transported to tip the city no matter what. He's searching for a little, next the objective he undertakes are really the only way for him to find this. He may perform a number of ruthless bill (which you, by the way, instruct him to help), although there are places in the story where you can reduce the hand down the lead to or create a selection while to the way things proceed. Despite the kind of senselessly violent tendencies many may see with GTA characters, Niko is the exception in many respects, since he has a language through which he works.
The sport infrastructure may be been more suitable, though there's still room to improve. If Niko fails a mission, a message request to retry it pops up the moment you respawn, and once you die you don't waste the full system. Moving across the gargantuan metropolis is made easier by hailing cabs to lead you to waypoints upon the map. Stealing a car with send yourself is always an option, as is the more immersive element of actually riding in the cab's backseat the whole time, looking out the windows in the passing lights. For anyone who's short on time otherwise would prefer to give up the chance perils of handling across a GTA world, the cabs are certainly welcome.
Still, you'll be doing quite a bit of mission restarts, and that usually means repeating big chunks of the problem. Many missions break down into a great original travel segment, some kind of escalation experience, a struggle, also a great escape. Moving through the on-foot shooting sequences, a real frustration with the clunky control structures of games past, has been be much better with the inclusion of a case technique also, as with many PC versions, mouse and piano defense for meaning and shooting. Coming from last cover that feasible to blind fire, rapidly pop dated to help unload a few photos, or walk cover to help cover, a system that doesn't always do perfectly but is a certain step up for the series. That possible to use a gamepad as well, that controls vehicles better than a mouse and keyboard. You can actually change freely between the control devices. Managing the two input methods depending whether you're direct or aim is beautiful awkward, but this good that Rockstar figure the idea during without forcing you to fiddle with a control input menu toggle. And if you have to choose one, it's much better to shoot from a moving car with the mouse and keyboard.
Some of the mission structures can be really impressive also drive very well within the framework of the narrative's government, but unfortunately the franchise's hearing with slip nature hasn't disappeared. You could be fix a mission perfectly until you accidentally engage a cop car, inadvertently develop an article critical on the mission, or misinterpret a new set of path that will want precise timing upon a mission's phase change, and this kicks you claim again out there to try again. Some can infer that as part of the problem, but the idea a setup that's become a little familiar at this point and continued existence will likely frustrate series veterans.
The strength of report and quality along with the amazingly detailed world are certainly about to create great thoughts with whoever dives into that side of Liberty City, but GTA has always been about moments. Remember that time people turned away from the stunt start and arrived on the pedestrian after slamming through the light job with the authorities chopper crashing on the ground from the family, putting off a run of explosions rocketing through the stalled traffic? With the COMPUTER version you'll be able to actually prevent that type of thing manipulating the replay feature. Hitting F2 will but a portion of gameplay roughly 30 seconds long near your own hard sink and make it designed for worked with the integrated replay editor. This collection of tools will enable anyone decrease in filters, join together clips, add text, attach music, adjust camera angles and more so you can recreate your favorite scenes but you see fit. Mean a cord of photos of people firing on traffic jams through a good episode chopper? Remember going to F2 every time you're popular that circumstances with joining them all together should happen no problem, cause people the possibility to prevent and savor those quirky, seemingly impossible-to-repeat seconds that turn up in GTA's unpredictable world.
youtube
If you buy something in this situation, IGN might pick up a share with the auction. For added, learn more.
To choose the Grand Theft Auto PC Download editor mode Niko utilizes the cellphone, which play like a sort of heart for many activities. This appears in to play in the course of missions for bill meanings also gossip with the game's vibrant, well-realized NPC population as well as act as a tool built to allow players to live Niko's life as if it become a real one. NPCs can arrange to consult, for example, with no purpose other than increase your impression of the character. You can go on dates, control a game of rush or collection, and manage relationships much like you might outside of Rockstar's world. Many of these diversions prove to be fairly tedious after a while, but they're entirely possible so you can just go them alone if you prefer.
Outside of that there's plenty to get in Liberty City, a stunningly realized virtual report of New York City caked with all the dust, don, and cuts you'd presume to realize while moving behind an authentic street. There you can engage in the assignment, sure, but also immerse yourself in activities strictly frivolous, from going to Internet looks and pressing through fictional junk email to meeting ago in a dimly lit residence with absorbing the accumulation of curriculum and ads to, in normal Rockstar style, wryly torpedo common culture.
The lines staple radio is very much intact in GTA IV. When set against the net and group phones it seems like a bit more of a good anachronism, but it still offers the playoffs fantastic soundtrack then a cavalcade of fake talk lists with cynical advertising. Perhaps in GTA Against, the character will ultimately acquire the iPod.
PC gamers will get more flexibility when it comes to music selection, as Rockstar has involved Independence FM with this type. Since you're bound to have tired of finding out on Dragon Brain and Pisswasser eventually, you can weight popular composition files into a game list to act as that post is beaten to, snap you a better ability to learn anything you like must people plan to go on one of the adrenaline fueled cross-city cop chases GTA is famous for.
Then there's the online play, a significant addition for the string with a portion of the game that's been increased with a better player control in the PC variety with superior search functionality. Read through Niko's cell phone you'll find a broad range of selections for play, through races to deathmatches to a number of team-based games with more specific rule sets. The real sketch from the online portion here is to engage in 32 person chaos across the area of the capital in open mode, but the structured inside here for persons looking for something other organized. It would hold survived pleasant to view a little extra cooperative modes rather than those already offered in the system versions, but the multiplayer remains a strong element of this outcome for the freedom it offers those who venture online.
Online or away there's no doubt you'll be impressed with some of GTA IV's visuals. It's not so much the character models, but the sheer selection in the city's sections, from the glitz of Liberty City's "Times Adjust" to the dirt slathered in the industrial areas, Rockstar has turned out one of the most authentic, believable settings ever noticed in competition. But with the PC version, you're going to need a very good organization to notice in all the splendor for a decent framerate, as still about the system (Core 2 Quad 2.40 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 768 MB GeForce 8800 GTX with Vista 32) we lived having performance problems even after toning down a few of the situations, and some of the cause (the shadows in particular) didn't appear so angry as posed during important resolutions.
The severe is employed even better. Stellar voice acting throughout a absolutely unbelievable sum of sharply written dialogue presents and illuminates GTA IV's thrilling story. As you're getting together the starting sequence of a mission another time you'll generally be healed to an completely different, cohesive dialogue thread between the passengers on the auto and then grasp the pieces toward that Rockstar has worked to stop this earth with strain and personality. But this also carved in every situation, from the small piece of pedestrians to the normal horns, train track screams, and universal mechanical fuzz that suffuses large town to Rockstar's managed to capture so perfectly here, also contributes heavily to Liberty City's authenticity.
Verdict
If you've so far neglected to record Grand Theft Auto IV's stunning modern capital of Liberty City, by all means get this game. The GTA formula has been polished and retooled in this kind being more convenient, more realistic, and ultimately more mature, however it yet gets placed with brambles taken over by games past. As far as settle a virtual time goes, direct the public circle, night time, travel conventions and explosive attacks of digital dynamo Niko Bellic becomes just one that'll stay in your planning for times ahead. The LAPTOP version comes with a few added features, such as online filters for obtaining matches, the ability to save clips and alter them all together, added video and organize options, and also a better player capacity in some of the multiplayer modes. Though you'll need a high-powered approach to truly understanding the PROCESSOR version's enhanced visuals, Liberty City is a surprise to behold.

Career Change
It’s nice when you get properly introduced to a character who is very your speed. AlCharlie requested a TF into Yangus from Dragon Quest VIII. I’ve never played DQ in any respect, aside from borrowing Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker from a friend once during a long bus ride. I kind of knew about Yangus from seeing him around, but researching him for this story made me realize how very much my type he is - burly, a heart of gold, and a cockney accent. What a man.
Also a chance to rail against the sins of capitalism, which is always good.
———————
There's nothing quite like feeling like you've wasted your time. The idea that you've put a ton of effort into something, and it resulted in very little, or worse, nothing at all. It's something that can induce a variety of emotions ranging from despair to anger. Your life, violently forced off track by the hand of fate, and everything you worked for has been for naught. It's a bad place to be in, and it was this same place that Al had found himself.
It was a cold day, with some intermittent rain. He was only wearing a thin black blazer over a white work shirt, adorned with a royal purple tie, and some black work trousers, with some leather shoes that looked like they hadn't been polished for a couple of days. The blazer was stretched a bit, maybe a little too small for him now, but it wasn't like he could do anything about it. He'd just left the office where he worked for the last time.
Al had figured that when this day would come that a lot of things would be different. He thought he'd be a good few years older at least, and he'd hoped that he would've been happier about leaving. He'd expected to have a more secure future by the time he'd left this place. Unfortunately for him, the day had come early, and in the worst way possible. He'd been called into the office by the HR manager and "delicately" informed that they would have to let him go due to budget concerns. They would have really liked to keep him on and all that, but unfortunately they couldn't afford to...a load of shit, basically.
He'd spent a good, long, time at this office, doing good quality work as far as he was concerned. No-one had complained about him, his work had never been the subject of scrutiny. He'd patiently waited for promotions that never came, moves up the career ladder that never happened, and after all that time, all that effort appeasing his corporate bosses...at the end of it all, they had taken a look at their money, him and his colleagues, and had decided to themselves that Al was the most expendable.
So here he was, an hour later outside the building, with no job and no clear future. The rain began to drip down as he began shuffling home. He didn't bother covering his head.
Now that it was finally starting to sink in what this meant, he was beginning to feel the anger that he would've felt in the office much earlier. He had kept himself to himself at the time, spending the last 50 minutes on autopilot - because if he hadn't, he would've flipped a table and broken all of the computers in a rage. Him? Budget concerns, worries over keeping what they needed to keep, and they'd put HIM on the chopping block? Bullshit. He knew better than anyone that it was all office politics. If they actually had reasonable motivations, they would've been cutting that fucking kid in IT who was clearly just spending all his day playing Fallout 4 in the server room. But no, they couldn't do that, because he was the boss's kid.
He could feel the anger boiling up in him now, as he gripped his shirt that was gradually getting wetter with a thick hand. He wanted to lash out and break something right here, but he'd probably just end up stubbing his toe on a fire hydrant. The crowds of people walking by, clearly completely unbothered by what was going to happen in the future were getting him madder. He needed to get out of here. He took a hard left through an empty alleyway.
Al gripped at the sleeves of his blazer, not caring that his pulling had just made them rip at the seams. All he could think about was how he'd just been screwed over. Those damn...corporate assholes...all they cared about was themselves, and screw anyone else. Getting richer was the only thing that mattered to them. They'd been born into money, had never lived without money, and only spent their lives trying to get more and more money by exploiting the people working for them, so they could die and leave it their kids, who would grow up just the same as their parents, just accumulating more money endlessly, while anyone who wasn't rich just begged at their feet for scraps.
The left hand sleeve of the blazer tore away completely, and Al tossed it to the ground. He didn't care. He'd been meaning to get something better fitting anyway, so it wasn't like anyone would mind. Besides, his body was about to get way too big for it anyway. He'd never been a particularly thin guy, but something strange was happening to his body, as he angrily stewed in the thoughts about those that had messed up his life.
He was starting to pack on quite a bit more fat, but it was coming from nowhere. He wasn't eating anything, yet his belly was pushing out further, gaining in weight, now making his shirt stretch like his jacket. His back was beginning to broaden, his shoulders packing on a bit of muscle to hold up his belly. There was a pop, as the button that was over his belly button broke off, and the shirt opened up, revealing a stomach with a light dusting of hair over it.
Al was sick of it. He didn't even want another office job of any kind. He'd just be doing the same shit for a different guy, probably for worse wages than last time. What was the point? The right sleeve of his blazer tore away, and Al let it drop to the ground. He rubbed his head, and as he did, his hair thinned out. His hairline was receding, both on top and round the back of his head, the hairs either falling away off his body, or pulling back into his body. His face was softening, his cheeks plumping slightly, becoming chubbier. He'd shaved this morning, but the stubble was growing back in, little hairs pushing out along his chin and over his lip.
His clothes weren't immune to these changes. More buttons popped off his shirt as his weight increased - but rather than finding himself concerned by his big weight gain, Al was simply bothered by the fact that his shirt didn't seem to be doing the job. Deciding to get it over with, he grabbed at edges of the shirt, and pulled it open, not caring about whether he broke the buttons or not. He wouldn't need things like crappy work shirts where he was going. He pulled the shirt out from under his torn blazer, pulling his arms out of the sleeves, before dumping the shirt on the ground.
Now that his bare arms were revealed, it could be seen that his skin was darkening slightly. Not hugely, but he was beginning to gain a tan - something that should've been impossible on a rainy day like this. Across his arms, his exposed chest (which was gaining a little bit of hair itself), and his face, his skin was turning more of a sunkissed bronze. His arms were bulking a bit in size, a combination of fat and muscle, plumping them, making them fit his expanding body better. Al took a sharp intake of breath as he felt a slash of pain across his left bicep, and an open wound appeared there. However, before long, the skin was knitting back together, fixing the wound, until it was a scar that looked like it had been there for years.
His torn, formally too small blazer had, however, seemed to grow to accomodate Al's new size. The cotton fibers of the cheap blazer were now changing, the threads coming undone and sticking out at strange angles. The black colour of the blazer was lightening, now becoming more of a woodlike brown, as what was now clearly fur pushed out from inside it. After a few seconds, the only thing that adorned Al's chest was a scratchy fur vest, perfectly fit for his body.
His trousers were doing a bit of their own changing. It was like they were getting longer at first, the fabric of the trousers hanging off his body, but then they began to fill out, as his legs thickened underneath, trying to release some of the strain that his increased fat and muscle had put on. The trousers were lightening too, going from black, to a dark blue. In contrast to his slightly uncomfortable fur vest, his trousers were getting more comfortable, as they became more baggy, with almost a velvet feel on the inside.
Al adjusted his black leather belt, and as he did, the belt loops on trousers snapped open, so his belt sat loosely on his hips. The waistline of the trousers began to expand vertically, seperating from their trousers, changing colour to a dark red, becoming a cloth sash tied around his waist. Grabbing the sash and baggy trousers (which had now paled to a more turquoise colour, he pulled them up, so they covered his belly. The belt was now lightening, from black to a dark red similar to his sash, before lightening further becoming a bright orange. The belt was now gaining an extra modification, the leather on the left side extending down into what looked like a pouch...no, a holster...a sheath, for a sword.
Al had no thoughts about this variety of changes. He was focused entirely on what he was going to do next. He'd started out thinking he had no future, but of course he did. There were plenty of jobs out there...if you were a little creative about the definition of the word "job". He knew of a way he could make a killing hitting these fat cats where it hurt - their wallets. If someone put a gun to their head...a sword to their neck, they'd be sweating money. He just had to catch one of those buggers alone. Then he'd have way more money then he would have ever gotten licking their boots.
And speaking of footwear, there were a couple of changes still left for the growing man. His black leather shoes were going through a bit of modification - the cuffs of the shoe were rising up around his ankles, curling around them, becoming little boots rather than work shoes. The material became more comfortable, more fitting, as the colour went through a similar process to his belt - dark red, red, bright red, orange. The soles, meanwhile, turned a steel grey, and his new boots thumped against the ground, his steps heavier than ever.
Bits of grass were poking through the tarmac and concrete of the alleyway, and the further Al walked, the more grass there was. Before long, the depressing grey buildings were disappearing, the grass becoming brighter and greener. The sun was shining. He could feel the firm dirt under his feet, and he grinned somewhat maliciously. His brow was thickening, pushing forward, heavy set, overshadowing his eyes. His nose was rounding out, becoming kind of bulbous, matching his round head.
The world in front of him was a bright white - the sun that had come from nowhere was shining right into his eyes, and he covered his eyes with a thick hand, looking down at the vibrant green grass at his feet. He kept walking, briefly stopping as he felt another two slashes of pain across his chubby left cheek, leaving two wounds bleeding slightly. But, as before, the skin knitted back together unnaturally quick, and all that was left of the inexplicable cuts was an X-shaped scar across his cheek. He took a moment to stroke it, remembering the bar fight that had netted him that scar.
He was brought to a stop by a green treasure chest lying in the dirt at his feet. It looked like the chest had been half dug up, then just left lopsided in the ground. The chubby man took a moment to think about it, but realized thought wasn't really his forte. He was more about action. He kicked the chest, hoping it wasn't a mimic this time. He was in luck, as the chest popped open, revealing...
Well. No gold, unfortunately, but there was a bunch of stuff that he recognised...
"Hey!! 'Ere's me stuff!" He yelled out in a cockney English accent, and knelt down to look closer at what the chest held. He pulled out a pair of silver bracelets, and slid them onto his wrists. Next was an axe, as big as he was, with a blue cloth wrapped around the handle, and a dangerous looking axe-head that looked like it was clearly well looked after. After that, a sword, which he slid into the empty sheath attached to his belt. Finally, the chest was empty, except for one more thing - a yellow skullcap with spikes coming out of it. Grabbing the skullcap, the portly fellow put it on his head, wondering how he could've ever lost it, or what the heck it was doing in some random treasure chest.
Pulling the axe upright, parallel to himself, Yangus stood up straight, with his free hand on his hip. It was about time he made some changes in his life. He might not be the smartest guy in the world, but he knew how to get money out of someone - if being a bandit had taught him anything, it had certainly taught him that. People didn't care about you, they just cared about what you had.
As for getting that money...well, the plucky bandit had a plan. If he knew his geography, there was an unguarded bridge around here, a bridge he could very well be guarding for a handsome toll. Nothing complex. It got the job done. He'd be sticking it to 'em soon enough. Yangus set off, plan in mind, axe in hand. He'd find some customers soon enough...willing or not.

Track #10
Since the album “Friends and Foes” was released this past Christmas, I’ve been fielding a lot of private messages with questions regarding my sexual orientation due to a song called “Lay Your Burdens Down.”
The simple answer to those questions is: Yes, I am gay.
I know this may catch some of you off guard or confirm some long held suspicions - or maybe you simply don’t care. Either way, it is something I haven’t felt the need or desire to share publicly until now. This is perhaps the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my adult life and it came down to a decision between my career and my integrity. I realize by sharing this I may have just destroyed everything I have built this past decade. Seeing as today is my birthday, it’s fitting that this marks the end of a journey and the beginning of new one.
When we released our first album in 2007, we were immediately classified as a Contemporary Christian band because I happened to write songs about my faith. Even Wikipedia labeled us as such. While I never considered us as exclusively part of the CCM genre, I realized that we were now in a position to have a profound impact on peoples' faiths. For this reason, I kept my orientation to myself for the past 10 years of my music career. I did not want to be publicly identified by something that’s only a part of what makes me who I am.
The other reason I kept it to myself was for the sake of the other people playing in my band. Every member was aware of who I was and they were all supportive, even though most of them held traditional theological stances. Because of this, it felt unfair to subject them to the inevitable questions and scrutiny that would accompany a public declaration of my orientation. It wasn’t their battle to fight and I did not want to jeopardize their ability to make a living as musicians. That is why when Andrew planned to leave this past year, it felt like the right time to share it.
One of my early memories of Sunday school was a teacher telling my junior high class that homosexuals were possessed by the devil. That statement would shape the way I related to God for the next decade of my life. I wrote “Lay Your Burdens Down” during the pinnacle of that struggle when I was convinced that God hated gay people - even celibate ones or ones trying to “cure” themselves. I saw it as a horrible curse – a predetermined condemnation for those destined for God’s wrath. And there was plenty of rhetoric coming from certain parts of the church to bolster this idea. I felt incredibly alone even though I had come out to most of my close friends and family. At the time I could only write the first two verses and choruses and then I shelved the song for 2 years. I didn’t know how to end the song because I had no answer for the question I was asking: “Does God love me?”
It was the question I had been asking myself for most of my life. The one question I agonized over late at night when I prayed to what often seemed like a silent and absent God. And then one day the words came to me for the 3rd verse:
They say I’m ruined but I’m only human They say it could be Satan, but God, I’m your creation What is and isn’t sin, I’ll let it go and let you in All this time I was praying, all this time you were saying: “Come lay your burdens down on me.”
It hit me like a ton of bricks and I burst into tears as I sang it. The revelation fundamentally changed my perspective not only on homosexuality but on Christianity as a whole. I had spent the greater part of my life trying to appease the wrath of a God who wasn’t even angry at me.
I used to be the king of religious behavior modification. I thought if I was holy enough, pure enough, chaste enough, God would tolerate me in spite of my “struggle.” But my legalism quickly spread like a disease to others in my life. I would feel actual rage when I saw other Christians behaving in ways that I thought were not in step with holy standards. I was jealous of their freedom so I tried to oppress them with my own enslavement and self-loathing.
But over time I began to realize that the heart of Christianity was not primarily about behavioral change. It’s firstly about spiritual change. It is about making a broken soul whole again and restoring its connection with the divine. Something that religious law could never do. The power of the gospel isn’t about scaring people out of hell but healing and restoring people from within. The Christian’s piety is not a result of strict adherence to rules, but the inevitable fruit of a soul that knows it is loved and forgiven by God.
I don’t know all the answers and I am by no means the spokesperson for all gay Christians. I didn't come out to make a political statement or to criticize the church. I came out because I hear stories every month about people like me who want to die because they think God hates them. And when I think about how awful it felt as a 12 year old crying late at night while my family was asleep, I want to use whatever limited influence I have to give someone like me a little bit of hope. I am still learning in my own journey, and all I can be certain of is that God’s love must be foundational in that pursuit. If we withhold God’s love from those who we deem unworthy of it, then the gospel has no power and it is just impotent religiosity.
Whether homosexuality is sin or not is of little importance to me nowadays. It’s not that I don’t think it’s an important question, it’s just not the most important question. I have learned that it is often our obsession with sin avoidance that prevents us from ever really pursuing God himself. Still, some of you are probably curious where I have landed theologically on this issue.
The truth is, I really don’t know. And I hope there is room in the dialogue for that uncertainty. As far as my own personal life is concerned, I have been single and will continue to be single for the forseeable future. Not because I am convinced of homosexuality’s sinfulness but because I am at peace with my solitude. I’m not looking for a relationship because I no longer buy into the cultural narrative that you have to be married and have kids to fulfill your life’s calling... or to be happy. That may be an unsatisfactory answer for those of you who like definitive lines, but it is my honest answer. If you are convinced that homosexuality is indeed a sin and think that my stance is too soft, then by all means you are entitled to believe that. But whatever your beliefs may be, not a single one of us has the power to exile someone from the fold of God. And if there is wrongdoing to be reckoned with, I have faith that God is good enough and merciful enough to deal with our mistakes. All any of us can do is live the best lives we can with the information we have at hand.
I have never seen the world more divided than it has been in the past few years. We have stopped listening to one another and we relentlessly declare rhetorical and literal wars on those we disagree with. There was a time in my childhood when my best friend told me he would kill a homosexual if he ever met one. Today, he is the first one to stand in harm’s way to defend me and people like me. That didn’t happen from arguing with him or hurling insults at him. It happened because one summer after college I told him my story. I showed him the humanity behind the homosexuality. I told him about the loneliness, the constant feeling of condemnation no matter how hard I tried to be good. I told him how one night I sat on a bed with a knife in my hand contemplating ending my life because I thought God had forgotten me. My story materialized something that he had always seen as an unrelatable enigma. It didn’t change his mind. It changed his heart.
For those of you out there who feel like there are parts of you that are too terrible or shameful for God, those of you who have cried yourself to sleep wishing you had been born a different person, I have been in those same dark places and I will shine a light for you as you find your way. Unload that heavy weight you’ve been carrying. It doesn’t matter if you are gay, straight or somewhere inbetween; your story and journey matter regardless of how different or abnormal it appears. Anyone who tells you God hates you has never really known him.
The devil’s greatest deception is convincing us that only another person can determine when we are worthy of love. But no mortal man or institution is the gatekeeper to the heart of God. All that he asks of us is this: “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Love one another and be free,
Tim

10 Best GBA ROMs for Android
Now that you have selected the Best GBA Emulator for your Android, you are going to need some games to play!
The list of amazing ROM games is endless. It is best to start with a list of favorites.
Much of the market is dominated by the same pattern of games we have come to know and love from the original handheld Gameboy system.
Check out our list below of the most popular ROM games!
10 Best GBA ROMs for Android
Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen Version
We are already familiar with the crazy popularity that is the Pokémon franchise. With every release of the series on the Game Boy Advance, system owners snatch them up as quickly as Nintendo can make them.
Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen finally unite all the worlds of Pokémon, making it possible to catch and keep every single Pokémon in one game!
The game itself contains a 30-plus hour quest, more than 150 creatures to catch and trade between each version, wireless adapter, and link cable support. It also has the option of connectivity with Ruby/Sapphire and GameCube Colosseum to complete the collection of more than 350 creatures.
FireRed and LeafGreen can be considered the fourth episode in the epic that is the Pokémon RPG, but it is a retelling of the very first game that started it all. This game is still an amazingly complete and recommended experience, even if you have already done this in the original.
FireRed and LeafGreen, even with its “remake” status, stands on its own as an original product that fits the Pokémon franchise exceptionally well.
Pokémon games are a satisfying role-playing design that gives the player a feeling of personal satisfaction. The idea of creating an element of catching creatures for their collection makes players feel more connected to the adventure. Add these to your list so you can have a more enhanced Pokémon experience!
Pokémon Emerald Version
The game is, for the most part, an extension of the storyline, universe, and “quest” that has been established in the release of 2003's Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire. They have added additional creature animations, and Wireless connectivity brought forth in the Game Boy remakes of Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen.
Pokémon Emerald's special edition additions are minor but numerous, and collectively they admittedly do improve the Pokémon experience.
More importantly, Pokémon Emerald adds in Wireless Adapter support, an element that made last Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen more than simple Game Boy Advance remakes.
Emerald's Wireless Adapter support enables better trading with the “newer” Pokémon creatures established in the Ruby/Sapphire series, and also builds up the community aspect with other Pokémon adventurers since players can battle and trade within a “Union Room” of dozens of participants.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Version
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire look great, and that is a big part of the appeal. The hundreds of different Pokémon are colorful and imaginative, and they often have funny, memorable, and even descriptive names.
A brief profile is available for each Pokémon in the game, and they are all represented both by the full-size versions you will see in battle and smaller, animated versions you will see in your Pokémon collection. The rest of the game's graphics look just like those of a 16-bit role-playing game and are clear and effective.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire have upbeat, catchy soundtracks that are well suited to the theme of the games, and many of their other audio elements, such as the sound effects used during battle, also fit. Each Pokémon also makes a unique sound, though these are tinny and nondescript, for the most part.
They are great games that can last you a good long time. There is enough value in the single-player portion of the game alone, and if you do want a challenge, you can always pit your overpowered Pokémon squad against a friend's using a link cable.
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire are not a big departure from their predecessors, but they look better and have lots of new Pokémon to catch, so Pokémon fans will be in for exactly what they want.
Meanwhile, any GBA owner who is never played a Pokémon game before now has the perfect opportunity to see what this unusual and likable series all is about.
Super Mario Advance 4 – Super Mario Bros. 3
To continue the established Super Mario Advance series on the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo's brought back this excellent platformer to the portable world for Super Mario Advance 4.
Since the game's based upon the SNES port released in Super Mario All-Stars, the Game Boy Advance looks, sounds, and plays almost exactly as the 16-bit conversion released more than a decade ago, and it's just as brilliant and fun a design as it was back on the NES.
But thanks to some creative implementation of technology, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is most definitely the biggest and best game in the Super Mario Advance series, and just like the games that preceded it, it's an absolute must-have on the GBA.
This game features Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mario Bros. games, eight different worlds, cartridge save, e-reader support for future expandability, and link cable support for multiple players.
You cannot go wrong with a Super Mario game so I would add this one to your downloads list!
Dragonball Z Buu’s Fury
Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury is an action-adventure game that caps off the storyline established in Legacy of Goku and Legacy of Goku II. The game itself is a “simple” continuation from the sequel, utilizing many of the assets to tell the next chapters in the story.
You will have the option to Play as Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, and Trunks. It also presents fusion characters, link cable support, and cartridge save.
This game was truly created for the diehard DBZ fans that already understand and know the storyline. I recommend playing the Legacy of Goku and Legacy of Goku II before picking up this next chapter in the story. That way you can be fully immersed and understand the next chapter in the tale!
Classic NES Super Mario Bros
The next game on the list should need no introduction. Super Mario will always be a Nintendo staple. Even though the company's got dozens of successful franchises, the original Super Mario Bros. is the company's one true classic it can afford to recycle because the game holds up incredibly well.
The original NES version of Super Mario Bros. is one of the most successful video games ever made.
The game is literally nothing more than exactly what gamers got on the Famicom and NES nearly twenty years ago; load that game up and it will be that same awesome experience.
Even if nothing more than for the sake of nostalgia, this one is an absolute must.
Pokémon Jupiter 6.04
Pokémon Jupiter is a hacked version of the popular game with a similar name, Pokémon Ruby. The engine of the core Pokémon series is extremely modular and allows hackers to use their creativity however they want.
The game sparked interest in many people with its interesting storyline, characters, and striking visuals that mirror the original ones. This is a hack that is based on older consoles such as Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Color. Hence, it will need an Emulator to play.
The game features a complete sound and texture redesign. There are more than 65 completely new songs, which can be played by using a music box. Moreover, some textures have been completely redrawn by hand, such as the character and Pokémon portraits.
Pokémon Jupiter ROM is essentially a combination of the original Pokémon series and the Golden Sun series. The game has its own storyline, which fills the gaps left behind by the original games.
The rest of the ROM’s features will be up to the player to find out and explore.
Super Mario Advance 2 – Super Mario World
Super Mario World is the fourth game in the Super Mario Bros. Technically, the game is merely a refinement and expansion of the concepts introduced to the series in Super Mario Bros. 3.
With Super Mario 2 Advance – Super Mario World is an amazing game created for the Game Boy Advance. The game holds up fabulously, and the slight modifications that Nintendo has made to the game for its handheld release make it even better.
Like the first Mario game for the GBA, Mario Advance 2 has a link cable multiplayer component. Unfortunately, it is identical to the first game's multiplayer–a four-player battle rendition of the original Mario Bros.
Super Mario World is one of the greatest games ever made. The Game Boy Advance version adds a handful of amenities to cater a little bit more to the portable crowd, but these changes serve only to enhance an already extraordinary game.
ROM Wrap Up
Whether you are an avid Pokémon fan or prefer jumping through pipes as an Italian plumber, you could play these classics for hours!
The Pokémon games fall at the top of most lists, but be sure to check out all of the other options available to you!

Celebrity Drive: Chickenfoot Bassist Michael Anthony
Quick Stats: Michael Anthony, bass player, Chickenfoot and the Circle Daily Driver: Mercedes-AMG GL63 (Michael’s rating: 10 on a scale of 1 to 10) Other cars: See below Favorite road trip: California coast Car he learned to drive in: 1960s Ford Ranch wagon First car bought: 1963 Ford Falcon wagon
Every time Chickenfoot and the Circle bass player Michael Anthony drives any of his cars, it makes him feel like he’s going on a little road trip.
“I don’t mind going to the hardware or the grocery store then,” he says, laughing. “I [get excited about] just getting into one of my cars and driving it. But if I’m home and I need to go to the hardware store, I jump in my GL or something. It makes me feel good.”
Anthony has nine cars to choose from, down from a larger fleet. “It shrunk up because my wife started yelling at me, and I like to drive everything that I have,” he tells Motor Trend. “I don’t collect things for the sake of collecting. I don’t really see the point.”
2016 Mercedes-AMG GL63
Rating: 10
Anthony used to live in Glendora, California, where he had a six-car garage and a warehouse in Pomona that was easy to get to. Now that he lives in Newport Beach with a two-car garage, the GL63 is his daily driver.
“Before I owned this Mercedes, I had a full-sized supercharged Range Rover and it was fast and really bad on gas—not that the Mercedes isn’t. But the Mercedes—I designed the one that I bought, so I have everything in it that I like, as far as creature comforts. It’s 550 hp so it’s a beast when you get out on the road,” he says. He rates it a perfect 10.
Anthony says the Range Rover was fast but it didn’t have the amenities the Mercedes does. “My Mercedes has the heated and cooled seats, the massagers, it’s got everything,” he says. “If I’m going to drive it every day, I want to be comfortable. And I’ve got three dogs so it works perfect as far as the dogs—in and out.”
Anthony likes the fact that the Mercedes has plenty of seating. “It’s got a third row of seats that you pull down flat, but if I’ve got the family, I can pull those seats up and have those extra seats, too,” he says. “If I can’t have one of my hot rods or my sports cars here, I can jump in that thing, and it’s fast and it handles great.”
He liked his Mercedes so much, the weekend before Christmas, Anthony bought an AMG GT C as a Christmas gift to himself. “I hate to admit it now, but I guess I’m a Mercedes guy, because I’ve got those two and then my wife has an SL 550,” he says with a laugh.
2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C
Rating: 10
“There is nothing about that car that I don’t like and I’ve been going over everything with it since I bought it—the drivability, the comfort for what it is. It’s obviously not a big luxury Mercedes, but that’s not what it’s supposed to be,” he says.
Anthony likes that the GT C is fast and handles great. “If I’m going to jump in the car and go flying down the road and have a great time, it’s perfect for all of that,” he says.
A local dealer who’d sold the musician his past cars called him about this model. “They told me they were getting one of the limited 50 that were coming out and they’d give me the first shot at it,” Anthony says. “I took my Ferrari and drove down there and I ended up driving home with that car that day. They gave me a good price on my Ferrari, so I just traded it in.”
1933 Ford Roadster
Rating: 10
Anthony has been a hot rod fanatic for years and was good friends with the late Boyd Coddington, who built this roadster for him in 1994. “Black with flames, that’s how I always envisioned a roadster. That was the classic hot rod. I used to draw pictures of roadsters with flames on them in school,” he says.
Anthony had total input into this car. “It’s pretty basic: There’s no air conditioning, no heating, it has no side windows, it has a lift-off custom aluminum top they made for me, so I can drive with the top on to keep the sun off my head,” he says. “Or I can take the top off and have it [be a] total roadster. It has a nice 350 Chevy motor in it. The car weighs basically nothing … so it doesn’t take much to just light the tires up on that car.”
Anthony always turns heads when he drives this car, and he’s had a couple close calls from people who were too distracted by it and didn’t realize they were drifting into his lane.
1940 Ford Convertible
Rating: 10
This is another car Coddington built for Anthony. “That’s an all-steel car. After we’d done the roadster, we decided to build one that had all the comforts,” he says.
That includes heating, air conditioning, a Grand Sport Corvette motor, and a Corvette suspension. “It’s a 1940 Ford body, but … it handles really well, plus with the top up, [you can] put the windows up, great stereo, and be comfortable driving this one,” he says.
Anthony helped design this car, as well, and Coddington put in everything he asked for. “It’s a great car, we can go somewhere for a week,” the musician says. “We built it and completed it in 1997. The day after, we debuted the car over at Boyd’s hot rod shop that used to be in Stanton.” Coddington used to debut cars by having a big party and inviting people to come see it. “There was smoke and lights, and all of a sudden we came driving out of all this smoke with the car and people applaud and they get to see one of Boyd’s latest creations,” he says.
Anthony and some other Coddington clients drove out in a caravan to Springfield, stopping off at events each night. “Back then there were a lot of people that were skeptics about his cars. ‘Oh, they’re just built to be shown, they’re show cars, they’re not built to be driven.’ He did not like that. This was a brand-new car, and we drove it there, and the only problem I even had with it was one leaky brake line, which we fixed,” Anthony says.
2005 Ford GT
Rating: 10
Anthony’s Chickenfoot bandmate and fellow Celeb Drive Sammy Hagar also has this car.
Anthony met people at Ford through a project for SEMA. “We customized this Thunderbird and won first place at SEMA,” he says. After that, his friends at Ford got him and Hagar a couple spots on the coveted list of those first Ford GTs, he adds.
“I was excited because when I saw one at SEMA, they let me sit in it and I said, ‘I’ve got to have one of these.’ It won Le Mans in the late ’60s and I just loved that car. I followed all the press on that car, and when I saw my chance I jumped in and was able to get a spot,” he says, laughing.
Anthony rates the Ford GT a perfect 10. “I totally love that car. It’s not the most comfortable car, but it’s fast and so easy to drive. You can drive that car to the grocery story every day if you wanted to. That is my car I just have reserved for if I want to go out somewhere and drive really fast,” he says.
Anthony likes his 2005 better than the new Ford GTs. “The ’05 and ’06s remain more true to the early GT40s,” Anthony says. “The new one—they’ve taken the body style and they’ve massaged it and put in big horsepower and made a bunch of improvements and took it away from the look of what it used to be.”

1957 Chevy Nomad
Rating: 6
“I’m still working on it. I bought that car at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale in 2007 and it’s a work in progress,” Anthony says. “The body’s beautiful, and I’ve changed some interior stuff. I put an Art Morrison chassis underneath it.”
Anthony likes that this is a car he can really work on with friends. “That’s my beach cruiser,” he says. “I like to bring it down near the beach because it’s all about surfing and the ’57 Nomad fits right in with all that. The Tri-Five Chevys—’55, ’56, and ’57—that to me is one of the most timeless body styles. Those cars will never go out of style.”
He says even though this is a custom restomod, it was original enough. “I didn’t want to get an original and do a bunch of stuff to it,” he says. “I’d rather leave something like that original. This one already had work done on it. It wasn’t original when I bought it, so I didn’t feel bad about doing any kind of modification.”
Car he learned to drive in
Anthony learned how to drive in Arcadia in a big, blue 1960s Ford Ranch wagon. He lived close to the Santa Anita Park, and his dad took him to the racetrack’s parking lot to practice.
“He’d take me to the parking lot there where there was plenty room, and that’s where I first got behind the wheel of a car,” Anthony recalls.
Since it was his father’s car, that was the only time Anthony really drove it. “I didn’t have any money to buy a car, so when I got my license I did not have a car at first,” he says.
Later, his sister owned a 1964 Ford Falcon Futura, which then became Anthony’s car. “My sister cracked the block, and my dad said I could have the car if I helped him rebuild the motor. Hence my introduction to working on car motors,” Anthony says. “[That was] on the older cars—I don’t have a clue on the newer cars. I wish I still had that Falcon. It was just a really cool body style.”
That was Anthony’s car when he was playing music in bands in high school and needed something to haul equipment around in. “I got rid of that Ford and bought myself, oddly enough, a 1963 Ford Falcon wagon,” he says, laughing.
First car bought
Anthony made money working as a weekend gardener to help pay for the 1963 Ford Falcon wagon, which ended up being the right car for the up-and-coming musician.
“A friend of mine got me a job working at his uncle’s duplex in Arcadia, and I would go there and do all the gardening every weekend,” he says. “I scrimped and saved and did all the odd jobs that kids do to try to buy a car, because at that point I wasn’t making any money playing music yet.”
He paid about $500 for the Falcon wagon. “My dad helped me get the transmission rebuilt, and the next day something else was going wrong. It seemed like all the money I was making doing anything I was just putting into the car to try to keep it running and a little bit extra to put gas in it. That’s what we went through back then,” he says.
Anthony installed an 8-track stereo in this Falcon by himself. It would be the car he’d make a lot of memories in. “I always had to have music in my cars,” he says. “That was my school car, I’d take my equipment to play parties, [it was a] whatever-we-were-doing car, and I’d take out the girl who would become my wife.”
Anthony’s friends were driving sportier cars, but his wagon came in handy. “If we were going to parties, I could load everybody in my car to go to a party or something like that,” he says. “I wished I had a smaller car like these guys were driving—a Mustang or whatever—but I couldn’t do that because I had to haul my equipment around. That was the only downside of it.”
