What I find a bit frustrating is just how much of the lore was irretrievably lost from RDR2 with several game mechanics and activities being cut from the final release.

The following audio bits can still be found in the game's files tagged as GREET_DUTCH_CHESS. Apparently, Dutch was supposed to be a rather avid chess player and, for whatever reason, there are recordings of Charles playing with him. At the same time, there's nothing left of this in Dutch's audio recordings, so it's only Hosea and Charles that still have those.

Chess Master — new show coming to the BBC

Chess Master — new show coming to the BBC

The BBC has commissioned a new factual show Chess Masters. I’ll avoid the is chess a sport or a game debate by filing under both and just mention a few facts (co the BBC’s announcement): Chess is the fastest growing sport in the world, was the most watched game on Twitch in 2021, and the most downloaded app from the iPhone store in February 2023. With six million regular players in the UK, 605…

Capitol TV: The Hunger Games

The Season 16 reaping has come to a close, but let’s meet two of our tributes yeah?

The District One Female who lacks a name wandered up to the roof top, running into the District Five Male named John Smith.

At some point in the kid’s search for the tenth floor, they wound up on the roof, missing the floor entirely. They weren’t sure how, but directions weren’t their strong suit.

They sat down on the floor, closing their eyes as if they were meditating.

Methodical steps with a travel speed of 1.34 meters hit the pavement stairs as John walks up to the roof, when he eventually arrives to see it occupied, he decides to speak up.

"Hello there, my name is John Smith, first name John, last name Smith. Apologies for the sudden greetings..." He trails off as he realises he can't tell if this was a miss or mister.

The kid opened their eyes, then turned to wave at John with a smile.

“Hello there, John Smith.”

"... No introductions for yourself?" He asks the younger child as he takes in the view from the rooftop.

“Ah! I’m sorry! My name is,” the kid opened and closed their mouth as if they said something, but no sound came out.

Blinking, John stares at the kid before chuckling, "ah, did you mean that your name is or are you just at a loss for words?" He asks, doing his best to give meaning behind the silence.

The kid seemed to get very excited by the idea that someone might understand their name first try.

“My name is just silence!” They said with an excited laugh, standing up. “My friends call me Blank, though! Because that’s what my name is in the records, just a blank space!”

"Haha, well it's very nice to meet you . What brings you to this quarter's games?" He asks as he brings out his hand for a handshake.

The kid took a step over to him and shook his hand. “They pulled my piece of paper out of a bowl. Same for you?”

Shaking the child's hand, he also shakes his own head, "Nope, volunteered. I worked hard to set this up as is right now."

“You’re going to win,” the kid said, though it was in a way that wasn’t very clear.

The words themselves were clear, but what was meant by them wasn’t. It was almost like the kid was stating a fact, prediction, or fear. The kid, though, seemed to know exactly what they meant.

His response ends up being a short nod before speaking up, "yeah, I am going to win and it's going to be legendary."

Looking into the child's eyes, John brings up the resolve to ask, " ! Wanna help me make history?"

Good luck to them both, and may the odds be ever in their favor.

more zombie department

quick context for anybody who cares: employees who work at a dead local mall that will surely close in a few years spend most of their time hanging around eachother more than actually doing their jobs (and quince. he doesn’t work here. he’s just extremely unemployed)

This artist clearly wasn't briefed on the story beyond the title and "kid has a parrot", but damn if it isn't evocative. Paperback artists should get their names on the cover, not hidden down by the ISBN. No kid would have shelled out for this at the book fair if it weren't for this leering little creep getting weird with his bird.

Food for thought, High-cloud Quintet era:

Jing Yuan, Dan Feng and Yingxing helping their innocent Darling (same darling bc its fun!) with "Stamina and Flexibility" training fwhile (and esp when) they have darling assist them in their work after a certain Sword Champion turned their request to be a disciple down for the nth time.

To make it more fun, there is no fixed schedule plan as in order to be a warrior, one must always be prepared to deal with unexpected situations after all:

- Dodging random and unexpected tendrils made of water by a certain high elder to test ones reflexes.

-Maintaining their concentration when meditating whilst being strapped down on a... "concentration training" machine made by a certain blade smith.

-Maintaining concentration and ability to strategize whilst being folded into different poses during a match of star chess with a languid Lieutenant.

For example, whilst also having to assist them while they work. They are busy people, you can't expect them to take time off their schedule to dedicate it to training you alone, would you?

-one of the peeps who hunts the comments section

This is so delicious, I immediately thought of what that would be like… 😌🫶

-CW: yandere, abuse of trust, overstimulation, sex machine

You are so naive and innocent... You are all focused on how to improve your strength and contribution, and you don't realize that there is something wrong with their "training"…

Dan Feng:

Imbibitor Lunae has the ability to manipulate water, weave rain and dew, create storms, and even split seawater, so training with water is really something you can expect. You just didn't expect…High Elder's training to be so…random. From HSR's description, we can know that Vidyadhara possesses a technology called cloudhymn magic, which can make them almost completely invisible and appear quietly around people. So… you were attacked completely randomly.

The water occasionally sprays onto your underwear, wetly revealing the shape of your sexual organs inside. You squirmed uncomfortably and closed your legs to avoid others noticing that water was dripping between your legs for no reason… You didn't want to be thought of as a weirdo who was in heat anytime and anywhere…

Dan Feng didn't even come to you on purpose. He showed no emotion when he did this. The High Elder sometimes wiggles his fingertips a little and your underwear is soaked, and then he goes to have lunch and deal with the daily affairs of Vidyadhara. Sometimes, your chest will also get wet, causing two puddles of water on the clothes on your chest. It's so embarrassing! You have to cross your arms over your chest to cover it up and then go change.

But…the "training" that requires taking off clothes is different. Dan Feng asks you to remain still. For an hour continuously, the warm water sprays on your private parts, the effect is like masturbation in the shower… You have to resist moving. This is a challenge of endurance and willpower…

Yingxing:

This talented weapon forger has gained a good reputation most of the time… Many people have commented that he is arrogant, but Yingxing does have the qualifications of "arrogance".

You trust Yingxing. He is so sweet and builds those weapons for you for free. He put decorations on the weapons he gave you and engraved them with beautiful patterns that suit you.

So… Even though Yingxing gave you that weird "concentration training" machine, you accepted it. That machine is automated…or it operates according to the program created by Yingxing, with more than ten modes.

In the normal mode, you only need to sit on the dildo of the machine (what Yingxing did not tell you is that the shape of the dildo is according to his…), and be penetrated deeply and trembled at the frequency of thrusting. This machine always seeks out your sensitive spots and stimulates them long-lasting and thoroughly. In full mode, your hands and legs are immobilized, and your nipples are caressed and rubbed for constant overstimulation.

Yingxing asks for your feedback and improves the machine. Maybe you should consider some suggestions…

Jing Yuan:

Jing Yuan coaxes you - this is about concentration and strategic skills training. If you can't strategize without interruption, you will suffer defeat in combat. He's just doing it for your own good. This…sounds reasonable?

At least once a day, you have to play chess with Jing Yuan, but the distraction is that you have to sit on his cock and fiddle with the chess pieces. He unbuttoned his pants and took out his fat cock, which was erect. He held his chin, narrowed his eyes and smiled, urging you to sit up. It took you a lot of courage to sit on it for the first time, and the unfamiliar cock almost split you open. So…thick and long. You moaned softly with every inch he thrust in, and his thumb rubbed your private parts to help lubricate you. Sitting completely on it is a terrifying experience. Pleasure bewilders and corrupts your brain…

Maybe this is what Jing Yuan meant by "training"? About whether you can focus on strategizing.

Of course you are… unable to focus. It collapsed in a few steps. Your fingertips tremble as you place the chess pieces. The brain cannot think about the next strategy and route…

After a few months, you get better at it, a little bit, but every time you get close to reaching "victory," you're screaming and bouncing on the general's cock, missing the chance of "victory" in orgasm...
