Glazed and Confused
Pairing: Lando Norris x Potter!Youtuber!reader
Summary: when lando fails to make a simple mug, fans direct him towards your YouTube channel
a/n: I took 1 hr long class on pottery and quit. Don’t like the feel of it, have mostly forgot literally everything about it so…🤷🏻‍♀️
a/n 2: I really struggled to get lando’s voice down and don’t really think I did. Oops 😬 will work on that for next time (also plz ignore that changing of the handles. I try to keep them accurate but again I’m not on those social media platforms so…)
a/n 3: I tried to make sure that this reader was never gendered or given a race — there’s one photo near the end that depicts 2 white smaller hands but I think that is the only time. Please let me know how I did, if you could

landonorris: kiln unveiling and some upcoming projects!
listen. when I randomly decided that I wanted to learn how to make ceramic dishes, it was mostly because I wanted to make something with my own 2 hands — and when I wasn’t immediately good at it, I decided that I wouldn’t stop until I was.
Its been a long couple of months with a lot of struggles but I can finally say that I’m proud of how far I’ve come. It hasn’t been easy but the journey and the process has been fun and i genuinely can’t wait to see what comes next!

*blows years worth of dust off this blog* Is anyone still alive?
Hi everyoneee! I took the biggest break from drawing because I got jobs in actual art and it killed all my love for it for a while but I have RETURNED! I’m drawing more fun and gay stuff than ever. Some fanart, lots of OCs and new stuff. I started uploading my new (mainly NSFW) work on bluesky, my username is ohnohon.bsky.social come find me and let’s be mutuals if you’re on there, but I will start posting on here again too. The saucy stuff will have to be censored on here, but I really would like to get the ball rolling again and put more art out there and get in touch with old and new mutuals again. I miss my art community :) Lots of love - Honey
Here’s one of my latest drawings as a little taster - Philemon and Zoticus being all cute ❤️ They’re a pair of satyrs created by Gorse and meeee.

For Future Reference!
Trying to be more active in promoting myself (scary) so here's a quick way to get between all of my stuff under the cut!
Tumblr media
Full Image of my profile picture for Flavor. Also so I can shout out my good friend and partner in crime @coyoteworks for making this incredible commission of post-timeskip Sora for me and also for being cool. You should go follow them. Anyways on to the shameless self-plugging
My best of Ao3!
My latest work and current WIP is To These Hands Entrust The Crown, a post s5 Lego Monkie Kid continuation with plenty of sunburst duo and lots and lots of MK getting into trouble. Still fairly new, I have lots planned for this one, and I'll be doing my best to keep up with weekly updates, usually around Friday!
My previous WIP is To Be Or Not To Be (Human with You), a Genshin Impact fic following Aether and the Wanderer immediately after the Wanderer reclaims his memories as Scaramouche. Currently on hiatus, but not abandoned!
There is also a LOT of my old writing for the KH fandom archived on here, most of which is from right around the original release of KH3 in 2019, and a bit rough around the edges considering how old it is. If you read any of these, I recommend Wholehearted- it's a complete rewrite of the Darkqua fight, and one of my favorites of all those old works. I completely edited it from the ground up last year, so it's a bit easier to read than the OLD old stuff.
Other Social Media
I no longer use twitter, but I've decided to leave my account up so I have a way to find the art that people have made for me, mostly for my genshin fic. You can find me here:
I've made the switch to Bluesky, and plan to be WAY more active on there, especially if people want to hear me ramble about the writing process and get notified when I update my WIPs. Find that here!
And I am active on discord as well, but unless and until I suddenly explode in popularity and have reason to make a server, I don't think I'll be handing that out. But you can always feel free to DM me if you want to talk more about lmk, ffxiv, genshin, or my writing process! I'm always happy to make new friends.

To whom it may concern (Bebe and Cassius):
I'm sure we'll all well aware of the current event surrounding a certain Unovan(?) entrepreneur who stylizes himself as a genius. It is therefore unnecessary to show me news about his latest "innovative endeavors" for the express purpose of "watching [me], an inventor, age about ten years every time."
So to get it out of the way for the thirteenth and hopefully final time:
Yes, I'm aware.
No, I don't know how he got a stainless steel tank, a rocket cobbled together from spare parts, a self-driving car that occasionally ignites into a ball of flames while trapping its driver in thanks to multiple design flaws, or the brain chip past an ethics committee.
Yes, I am "salty" that I made one mistake with one of my inventions, and now I'm constantly scrutinized by the Pokémon Cutting-Edge Technology Research Institute's ethics committee.
No, I do not want the brain chip.
Yes, I want to study the brain chip.
The fifth point is out of morbid curiosity as to how it got past an ethics committee, not respect.
Hopefully, this clears things up.
Best, Bill
-
{From the Mun:
I found this in the drafts, and I thought it would be hilarious to bring this out and tack on an update post while I'm at it.
But the biggest thing is, I'm . . . actually leaving Tumblr. Now, the main reason for that is my main got super borked up. I've been told by my followers over there it's not shadowbanning, but I'm pretty sure it's random-ass shadowbanning. I cannot receive asks, I can't tag people, I don't have DMs, and I don't show up in notes. As for why, I can't fathom. For the most part, I've kept my nose pretty clean on that account, other than that one time somebody in the writeblr community kinda lost it and tried to use a bunch of random people as a scapegoat for drama reasons. Yeah, idk.
Anyway, the point is, I've submitted a ticket a few months ago and then . . . never heard back. And honestly, for personal reasons, I'm not really inclined on remaking.
Personal reasons being I'm gunning for writing an actual book, as you might know from my last-ish post? Like, non-Pokémon book. Though I'll admit some bits might be familiar to those of you who've hung around the blog for a while. Here's a hint: take powerverse, gender swap it, role swap it, and then stick it into FFXIV and add more steampunk. It's been cooking for the past year you haven't seen me, and I'm aiming to start pitching it to agents by the end of the year. If you'd like to follow along, if you're also a writer who would like to make more writing friends, or if you just like my writing for some reason and want to keep up with me, you can find me at jaxwolffwrites on both Bluesky and Twitter. Bsky moreso, but you'll get progress on this project on either of those other platforms.
Now, I will say this: just to be fair, I'm doing three things:
Closing the askbox. Admittedly, if you've been sending me asks for the past three months, I haven't seen them anyway. Sooooo I probably should've done that ages ago. Sorry about that.
Answering any ask I've saved to the drafts. Any ask. Please note that I don't know if the borking I've described above extends to this blog as well, so Bill won't be replying to replies or reblogs/tags. Apologies for that in advance. There are 49 posts in the drafts, and these will come out fairly slowly as I continue to keep up with my writing schedule on the other project.
Leaving this blog up as an archive. Assuming Tumblr doesn't nuke the main and the backup account that was created in an effort to avoid total nuking, and assuming Tumblr doesn't nuke this blog itself, I really want to leave this up so you can enjoy this pretty much forever onward. You all are the reason why this blog has gone on for so long, and I want to preserve this blog as a thank you for following me for so long.
So yes, after I clear the drafts, you'll likely see one last farewell from Bill and Lanette, and then that will be that. To everyone who's followed, thank you so much for following and supporting this blog over the years. As many ups and downs as running this had, I still look back on every moment as one fun adventure.
So thank you, and take care.}

Hey ya'll!! Good news!
The MTMTE notebooks now have volume 3 and 4!
You will also be able to order volume 1 and 2 if you missed it last time
Tumblr media
Orders are invited in September, likely from September 1st - September 30th
People who placed orders before or otherwise emailed the MTMTE books email or signed up for the preorder will be contacted.
Also he's mentioned potentially making the newest scripts available too!
Please check out his post, screenshots below, for more info
Link to the post: LINK
Tumblr media
James Roberts @jroberts332: Lots of questions about this, so:
I plan to invite orders for the MTMTE notebooks (both sets: Vols 1 and 2; and 3 and 4) in September --- probably first 1st to the 30th. I might make the latest scripts available too.
**I will post something on here, on Bluesky and on my Instagram**
Tumblr media
James Roberts @jroberts332: If you bought Vols 1 and 2, or emailed the MTMTE Books account about placing an order, you'll automatically be contacted.
If you put your name on the preorder lists at TFCon and TFNation, you'll be contacted
Tumblr media
James Roberts @jroberts332: I'm doing some things differently this year, having learned some lessons last time. These changes should cut down on delivery times and make everything run more smoothly. I'll explain everything when you contact me to place an order, or to enquire about placing one.
Tumblr media
James Roberts @jroberts332: Some people are worried about missing out, so please spread this message far and wide-- TF message boards, Tumblr, etc. I'm conscious that people have deserted Twitter.
I don't want to have to extend the preorder window, which is what happened last time.
Thank youuuu
Spread this info further yall!

Bringing myself up to speed on Cohost since I mentioned them earlier but primarily interact with like five people who use it through RSS.
I said Cohost looks in a bad place financially, that's mostly in reference to their financial statements as of 4 months ago:
https://cohost.org/staff/post/1690393-h1-2023-financial-up
At this point they were losing a little over $40k a month, and taking on a lot of debt to keep functioning.
Their latest financial report seems to have them balancing out their very imbalanced finances, which I think is a combination of new choasters realising they should pay for this and Bluesky absorbing more normie users looking for non-twitter destinations.
I like Cohost's design and flexibility (see @lexyeevee's CSS crimes) but I don't love that they're still very much a walled garden. It's a very accessible walled garden, I'm subscribed to RSS feeds from friends through it which is something Bluesky and Twitter don't do, but it is no fediverse. I know I say that from Tumblr. Glass house, stones, etc. We have RSS here too you know!
if people keep paying for cohost at this rate it'll probably be fine. Bluesky taking the bulk of the heat off of them might let them escape the five point palm exploding heart situation they walked into when they opened free registration during the Twitter exodus. Handling a small subset of weirdos is sustainable in a way that mass social media isn't, ask SomethingAwful.

Not So Smart Meter
On Friday our smart meter told us we had been charged £9 for heating, which spurred me into fiscal action. Well, I say it spurred me into action; I haven’t actually done anything, but it did alarm me. More so for some reason than any of the other do of money I have spent over the past 6 months. £100 at Asda, £37 on the bus to Glasgow. All fine, apparently. But £9 for a day of heating! That’s one step too far.
It turns out that this is because we had put the thermometer display thing in our bedroom, which had the radiators off (it gets too hot at night) so the system was desperately trying to heat up a room over which it had no power. This realisation calmed me down a bit (it was only £4 yesterday), but I’m still going to post my Patreon here for the first time in a while.

I write reviews of old episodes over there, and they tend to be a bit more in-depth (read — even longer and more self-indulgent) than the ones here.

Turn the internet off.
I’ve been doing Local Month of Writing a Novel this month (as explained in a previous edition of this blog), and most days it has taken me upwards of 2 hours to get the 1667 words down.
Today, I turned the wifi off and blasted through 2000 words in one hour. This could just be due to the fact that I struck a rich vein of inspiration, but it’s also definitely at least partly due to the fact I wasn’t periodically on the Fantasy Football Reddit, or Twitter, or Bluesky, or Instagram, or YouTube, or…
Its incredibly simple, but if you cut off access to these timesinks then you cannot access them. Meaning that you get through your work a lot quicker, leaving you plenty of time to write tips on how to get through your work a lot quicker.
Anyway, onto this week’s episode, the second repechage match, between SOAS and Durham.

Here’s your first starter for ten.
Unfortunately at this point I’m going to have to turn the internet back on because I need to rewatch the episode. Here’s hoping I can avoid clicking on the Youtube shorts tab. Wish me luck.
Brookfield-Pertusini introduces herself by saying she is ‘quite literally reading English literature’, which I personally find to be a bit cringe, but perhaps I am just becoming an old man.
Tumblr media
Nash hits back for Durham with pheromones, but he talks himself out of five points on the bonuses because he doesn’t believe that the football team Villarreal could possibly be from a town called Villarreal.
Provinces gives Hasler his first points of the night, then both sides miss the picture starter, on the word turnip in different languages. Roberts hears the word Ra and buzzes with Egypt, winning Durham the picture bonuses, of which they take one.
Rajan calls, and Nash is first to pick up with telephone on the next starter. They are thirty points clear, but Lambert sneaks in with Trojan horse to keep SOAS close.
Another for Hasler gives SOAS the lead going into the music round, but Brookfield-Pertusini is quickest to recognise the Peep Show theme song and steals it back.
Tumblr media
Brookfield-Pertusini, who, as we remember, is studying English literature, takes the picture starter by recognising a wordless version of the cover of The Bell Jar. She is good on the bonuses too, but mistakes Normal People for Conversations with Friends. A mistake I made too, because I thought Normal People was red, which it often is, but not in the original printing.
Makaton gives Dorn her third starter, and further ten-pointers from Lambert and Hasler give SOAS a fifty-five-point lead with two minutes to go.
It would have been a sixty-point lead had Dorn been allowed her answer ‘af Klimt’ when the correct answer was ‘af Klint’. I think this demonstrates sufficient knowledge, and presume that it was disallowed because of the artist Gustav Klimt. But she said the ‘af’ so it is clear she knows who she is talking about. Very harsh, in my opinion.
And very important.
Nash keeps Durham in the game with ER, and they do a very good job of answering the bonuses very quickly, passing quickly too when they don’t know. Roberts takes another with Richard II, and a hat-trick put them ten points adrift.
Ten points which disappeared with scattering from the skipper. A single bonus would win them the game, but the gong beats them to it.
Tiebreak.
A question with the answer slipstream was dropped by both teams.
A second question was also dropped by both teams but cut from the show — thanks to Bluesky user trainingmontage for pointing me in the direction of the YouTube comment by one of the SOAS team.
A third question with the answer llama is buzzed on by SOAS’s Lambert, but unfortunately he says alpaca.
A fine guess. I don’t know how much more obvious the rest of the question would have made it that the answer was llama not alpaca, but it was a good tactic to be first on the buzzer here. It’s just a shame that he was wrong. And a shame that ‘af Klimt’ was disallowed.
SOAS 145–150 Durham
Incredible comeback from Durham. As Youtube commenter Ramboost007 says, they remind us that in UC 55 points is just a 3-possession lead.
Tough to take for SOAS, but a very entertaining show for the viewer.
See you next week for the first of the second-round matches.
For now, I’m off to check my smart meter.

The sweat covering her hands is now smeared all over the steering wheel and mixed with dried blood from her previously weeping wound. The inside of the car smells like copper and black ice air freshener. Audrey breaks the flat circle.

A Thread on the Bluesky Meta
Within the past few days, I've signed up for both Threads and Bluesky. Both also are letting me slowly wean off my Twitter addiction (I'm basically only posting blog links to Twitter these days). At the moment, all three apps have advantages and disadvantages.
(One things that falls into the "disadvantage" column for all three is that none of them right now appear to support letting me automatically cross-post links to my blog entries onto their site. Twitter used to allow for this but eliminated the feature as part of its overall crusade against its own usability. Threads and Bluesky don't seem to have been integrated yet into IFTTT or other similar sites. First site to offer that feature will get a huge leg up in the David sweepstakes).
Threads
Pros
Instagram tie means it has a pre-existing userbase that can scale quickly. This makes it easier to at least initially fill out a follower list. And while nobody is thrilled to jump from an evil billionaire to a somewhat-less evil billionaire, if we're bloodless about it the Meta backing makes Threads the most likely to actually slay the giant. It's no accident that its launch has yielded a visible dent in Twitter's daily traffic.
Cons
Very clearly launched ahead of schedule to take advantage of Twitter's latest disaster (the "metered" tweet fiasco), and so a bunch of really basic features don't exist. No desktop app is virtually a dealbreaker for users like me, and that's just one example. Once you get past your Instagram network, it's actually quite difficult to find your friends, and the app is absolutely obsessed with pushing random "influencer" types into my timeline that I absolutely do not care about and which only serve to gum up the conversations I'm actually interested in following. This may be intentional -- Threads people have suggested that they self-consciously are trying to avoid centering their business around news/commentary -- but that makes it less attractive for me.
Bluesky
Pros
Definitely has the most "Twitter-like" feel without the baggage. That it has both a functioning mobile and desktop version automatically gives it a huge leg up for me. While obviously still in progress, it has most of the features I'd want in a site, and my feed at least looks mostly populated by the types of conversations I want to see. Likewise, when I search for new accounts, it seems to make a modicum of effort at recommending folks I'd want to engage with. Is as of now probably the site I most want to succeed of the three.
Cons
Still growing very slowly via the invite-only model, and the smaller userbase means it's inherently less active. I finally got an invite to Bluesky upon telling a friend I had joined Threads, and in the course of him fulminating about all the ways Bluesky was superior I guilted him into giving me an access code. That doesn't seem scalable, and microblogging social media sites depend on scaling.
Twitter
Pros
Even now it still probably has the greatest range of users and commentary, and of course I already have a pre-existing base of followers which I'm loathe to leave behind. I don't consider myself a major audience chaser, but even I feel a bit of a sting going from 4,000 followers to several dozen, and I don't relish building it back up from scratch. As more than one person has noted, the basic structure of Twitter circa 2021 is what a ton of people want to see replicated, and even as Musk has made it his mission to regularly lop off useful and helpful features and practices, everything that has for now escaped his cullings is comfortingly familiar.
Cons
All the Nazis, obviously. And the crypto scams. And the push to promote far-right conspiracies and bigotry via "verified" promoted accounts (if a blue checkmark no longer means "you are who you say you are", and does mean "you have paid Twitter a fee so it will boost your content", that is the very definition of a "promoted account"). And the searing hatred Musk has for his own customers, regularly intervening to make the user experience worse for no discernable reason other than pique.

A Full Friday
Today at 6 a.m., when Nancy woke me up, after taking care of the cats, for my 7 a.m. dental appointment. The cleaning went just fine and I came home to start the day in a normal way at about 8 a.m.
The morning blood sugar was up to 143. Then we did our coffee and brain games. Among other things, we finished the week with a perfect score for the “On the Record” game at the Washington Post. A bit later we had oatmeal for breakfast.
There was more messing around with the GSP website. Dale Ann tried installing the certificate manually, but even after waiting around to see if it took we had no luck. I also saw notes about the nameservers being incorrect, but there was still no response whatsoever from the hosting company about anything. Fr. Steve approved the switch to GoDaddy. I checked the terms and conditions for moving forward.
I finally deactivated my “X” (formerly Twitter) account. According to a chart I was keeping, I had not posted anything since February 2021. I’m not in any hurry to join BlueSky, though plenty of people I know have. Some social media just doesn’t seem that important or necessary to me.
We cancelled our coffee meeting with Rector Ann for today, since Nancy was still in pain from her fall yesterday and did not feel like being social.
I ran to Costco for gas ($2.96 per gallon) and a few groceries. I also picked up the new Stephanie Plum novel by Janet Evanovich, “Now or Never.” It’s been a minute since I read one of these, but since I like holding a real book in my hand from time to time it seemed like a good purchase.
Kathleen stopped over for a visit. She had some chips and cheese and a fudgesicle. I ate my leftover Jersey Mike’s for lunch, along with more of the chips I bought at Costco.
Sam checked in from Edward Jones with Nancy about some account details that needed adjusting.
About 2:30 p.m., Kathleen went home, Nancy lay down for a nap, and I went for a walk. I put in 3.06 miles in 54 minutes, using the same route we had started yesterday when Nancy had her fall. I got 6,800 steps, and an average pace of 17:40 per mile. There was no rain, and it was not too cold. I worked up a sweat under my flannel shirt inside the flannel-lined jacket.
We started up the spaghetti sauce about 4:30 p.m., cooking garlic and mushrooms. We put them aside and cooked the hamburger, then put it all together with marinara sauce and some more spices. We made some garlic toast while boiling the noodles, and we ate dinner and finished cleaning up about 7 p.m.
Our streaming menu began with the Thursday night Colbert which included his wife doing “First Drafts” for Thanksgiving cards, followed by a new comedy special from Jim Gaffigan, another episode of “Coroner,” and, finally, the latest from “NCIS” to take us to bedtime.

It's time for Saiwa to rearrange their sub unit aka The Boys. Even though Ji Ho already promised Jeb that he will help to keep them together, Saiwa took him aside. Saiwa: "Ji Ho, when the Bond is cut - are you still determined to leave us?" Ji Ho: "Yes, there is still the Prophecy. And the Council will be after us as long as Vlad and I will be together. Even if the Bond is cut. There will be no proof of it for them and they will still fear us bringing 'great evil' upon them... Better you four continue without me. I hope you will be able to use the power of the meteorites without me when Rubyn is successful with the experiments."
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "Have you already decided who will claim and protect you from the other vampires when the Bond between you and Vlad is cut?" Ji Ho: "Yes. You know Genji offered me his help and I think this is the best solution. He is my first bonded and I hope he doesn't even need to claim me again... uhm ... fully... and we could skip... uhm... 'tightening the Bond', you know? I'm sorry." Saiwa: "I understand."
Tumblr media
Jeb and Jack: "WHAT?" Vlad: "GENJI!?! After all we went through because of Genji?! I even died! I went through hell! Because of him our world turned upside down! Because he claimed Ji Ho all out of the blue! And now he's going back to him?" Saiwa: "Vlad. You know any other vampire would have to claim Ji Ho. This would spare him. And you know that all this wasn't Genji's fault. Ji Ho doesn't really have a choice in this."
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "Can we now please agree to the new terms and conditions? Being honest to each other, no stupid secret single actions and acting as a team to stay together? I'm hungry." Jeb, Jack and Vlad: "Agreed."
Tumblr media
Jeb: "See? I told you we would make it ;) " Saiwa sighs.
Tumblr media
Later that evening Jeb and Ji Ho are working on their songs and Ji Ho showed Jeb his progress on his Siren's Songs. Ji Ho had no one who tought him about them while he grew up in the Slums of Sulani. But he had been able to cast a spell to drag Vlad (and Leander) out of their hell. So he's not quite starting from zero. Though it's difficult to try to get a connection to them without being in the water.
Tumblr media
Later, Jeb and Saiwa went for a walk. Jeb, making a move: "Don't worry! I will protect you from the wild animals of the Jungle!" Saiwa: ? Iguana: ??
Tumblr media
Saiwa: "And who will protect you from me?"
Tumblr media
Jeb: "Nothing can keep me away from you, Vanië."
Tumblr media
Jeb: "I love you."
Tumblr media
I'm so happy they are finally together again! ^^'

Jack Dorsey, well-known for his past involvement with X (formerly Twitter), has shifted his focus to the world of crypto. He has co-founded Block, Inc, and served on the board of Bluesky, a decentralized social media platform. In a recent interview, Dorsey shared his thoughts on the future of Bitcoin. He discussed his departure from Bluesky's board, citing concerns about the platform's moderation tools. Dorsey expressed disappointment that the platform had strayed from its original vision of decentralization. When asked about Bitcoin's price potential in 2030, Dorsey speculated that it could reach at least $1 million and potentially exceed that figure. He emphasized the importance of the Bitcoin ecosystem and the impact of contributors on its value. While Dorsey's prediction may seem ambitious, other prominent figures in the crypto space have also suggested similar price targets. ARK Invest CEO, for example, raised her prediction to $3.8 million by 2030. It remains to be seen whether widespread adoption would be sufficient to support these lofty projections. Dorsey's casual approach to the $1 million price target suggests that he may not be fully committed to the idea. Nonetheless, his perspective as a developer offers a unique insight into the potential growth of Bitcoin. Regardless of whether Bitcoin reaches $1 million by 2030, Dorsey's prediction sparks intriguing discussions within the crypto community.

Cover Reveal – Star Wars Outlaws
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/cover-reveal-star-wars-outlaws/
Cover Reveal – Star Wars Outlaws
Tumblr media
This month, Star Wars Outlaws graces the cover of Game Informer. Regardless of your history with the series, there’s no denying the impact that Star Wars has had in the pop culture landscape. The Original Trilogy inspired countless other pieces of media and the subsequent releases have all been noteworthy for one reason or another. But it was the Original Trilogy that developer Massive Entertainment – the team behind games like The Division, The Division 2, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – chose to make its playground. We traveled to the coastal city of Malmö, Sweden, to learn all about the open-world scoundrel adventure set in a galaxy far, far away.
Our cover art this month, provided by Massive Entertainment, shows the protagonists of the story, Kay Vess and her companion Nix, in a cantina, presumably accepting a job. Cantinas serve as the gathering place for the types of seedy individuals Kay and Nix seek out for work. On the back cover, we get a glimpse of one of the criminal factions Kay can accept jobs for: the Pyke Syndicate. You can learn more about Kay, Nix, the syndicates they interact with, the Reputation System, and plenty more in our 12-page cover story of Star Wars Outlaws!
Tumblr media
But that’s not all that’s housed within this latest issue of Game Informer! Marcus Stewart visited Bandai Namco in Irvine, California, to get his hands on Sand Land, the anticipated action title from ILCA. Speaking of the great Akira Toriyama, Kyle Hilliard takes some time in the issue to pay tribute to the legendary manga and anime icon. On the topic of hot-button issues, Wesley LeBlanc spoke with several game developers who are using artificial intelligence in different ways to learn their reasoning and try to grasp the ethics of doing so. Zachary Avery interviewed the team behind indie publishing label Finji (as well as several developers that have published under Finji) and wrote an in-depth profile, while Marcus Stewart spoke with the developers behind the hit Poker-inspired roguelite Balatro about its runaway success. Finally, I traveled to Los Angeles, California, to catch up with the director and producer of Street Fighter 6 and attend Capcom Cup X to see the first-ever $1 million grand prize get handed out.
That’s on top of our standard preview suite. In this issue, you’ll read previews for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Dune: Awakening, Kingmakers, MechWarrior 5: Clans, TopSpin 2K25, and more!
Here’s a closer look at the cover:
