It's no bloody secret I hate ai shit. One thing I'm glad about though, is that I've spent enough time on chat gpt -having it write crossover fics for my own use cause I didn't have the courage to do it myself- to learn about its patterns, its vocabulary (EVEN the premium version cause you get free trial every day).

So if you're out there, posting ai fiction without letting people know it's not an original work, I will know. Also know that while you think you're not hurting anyone when you post that stuff, "because I clearly state that it's written by ai" YES you are.

First and foremost, you are destroying the meaning of art. Art is art because there's someone's pain, someone's joy, someone's ugliness, someone's beauty, someone's experience, someone's talent or lack thereof, someone's flaws behind it. Doesn't matter that it's good or bad so long as someone put something into it and I understand that now. Ai forced me to understand that.

Secondly, know that ai uses a database of words, expressions, jokes, prompts, and sometimes full sentences stolen directly from someone else's work out there on the internet. That clever pun chat gpt came up with that you thought "oh, I love it, I might use that"? Look it up. You've never seen it anywhere because it's someone's clever joke whose work you've never read. If you use it, it's basically like the old and loathed "copy-pasting a paragraph of a fanfic you like into your own fanfic", but with added stupidity, laziness and ignorance.

Please, write your own stuff, draw your own things. I wasn't always as good as I am today at neither of the two. Hell, I used to write a terrible Teen Wolf fanfic on Wattpad where Derek Hale had a lost twin who was prince of France, ffs. 90 chapters of absolute, plotless nonsense. But you know what? The 90th chapter was way better than the 1st one. And quite recently, I spent a few days on a Doctor Who OS and made a few strangers cry.

So what I'm saying is, don't be lazy. Read real books and clever fanfictions, cause as Virginia Woolf said, "read a thousand books and your words will flow like a river."

Monster Hunter Wilds launches February 28, 2025 - Gematsu

Monster Hunter Wilds will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on February 28, 2025, Capcom announced.

Get the latest details below.

Our Story Begins…

Today’s trailer provided the first look at the flagship monster at the center of the story in Monster Hunter Wilds, Arkveld. The mysterious monster Arkveld hails from a species long thought to be extinct, and bears uniquely shaped, chain-like wings. After rescuing the young boy Nata on the border of the Forbidden Lands, the Hunter’s Guild gathers its resources and forms the Forbidden Lands Research Commission to investigate the mysterious “White Wraith” that attacked Nata’s home. In order to properly explore the Forbidden Lands, the Research Commission dispatches multiple units to the area. These include the Avis Unit made up of Alma, Gemma, the player’s Hunter, and their Palico, as well as the Astrum unit, which includes the veteran hunter Olivia, who can join players as a Support Hunter, alongside her Palico Athos, the biologist Erik, and Werner the engineer.

A Living, Changing World

Today’s trailer gave the first look at the environmental changes the Scarlet Forest experiences as it goes through its periods of Fallow, Inclemency, and Plenty alongside the various lifeforms that call the region home. During the Fallow, the Scarlet Forest is defined by the distinctive red-tinted rivers for which it’s named coursing through dense vegetation. Times of Inclemency cause a chaotic Downpour that drastically reduces visibility and leads to surging water levels and raging currents. After the storm breaks, the Plenty gives rise to a colorful ecosystem teeming with monsters, plant life, and sun dappled streams that reflect the vibrant blue of the clear sky. These clear waters allow visiting hunters to easily engage in the relaxing pastime of fishing or explore the region’s abundant waters and rubble by swinging from nearby Wedge Beetles or riding on the backs of their trusty Seikret mount. As they explore, hunters may even encounter the local tribe of Lynians, known as Wudwuds, who have successfully adapted their lives and hideout to suit the ever-changing environment.

New Predators Emerge

As changes in weather herald new plants and wildlife, new monsters also emerge in the storm. Today’s trailer gave the first look at the leviathan monster Uth Duna, which surfaces amidst the Inclemency of the Scarlet Forest. The apex predator of the Scarlet Forest, Uth Duna cloaks itself in a veil of water using ponderous secretions from its body. Additionally, hunters were treated to a first look at the new Brute Wyvern, Quematrice, that calls the Windward Plains its home. Quematrice sprays a flammable substance that ignites into flames from sparks created by scraping its tail against the ground.

Product Details

When Monster Hunter Wilds launches on February 28, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, players will have access to Standard (MSRP $69.99), Deluxe (MSRP $89.99), and Premium Deluxe (MSRP $109.99) editions across all platforms. The Deluxe Edition features the Monster Hunter Wilds base game and the Deluxe Pack, which includes a variety of cosmetic DLC, such as Hunter Layered Armor and sticker sets. The Premium Deluxe Edition includes the Monster Hunter Wilds base game, the Deluxe Pack, a Premium Bonus available upon launch, a Cosmetic DLC Pack 1 coming in Spring 2025, and Cosmetic DLC pack 2 planned for Summer 2025. Pre-orders of any edition will receive the bonus “Guild Knight Set” hunter layered armor and “Hope Charm” Talisman. Additionally, pre-orders made through the PlayStation Store will also include a Digital Mini Art Book.

And here is the official fact sheet:

About

Monster Hunter Wilds is the highly anticipated next evolution in the award-winning Monster Hunter franchise. Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam for PC on February 28, 2025, the latest entry in the beloved series of co-op action RPGs takes the thrill of hunting larger-than-life foes in expansive natural environments to immersive new heights. The story transports players to the Forbidden Lands, a mysterious wilderness that can transform in unexpected ways. This living world is teeming with rugged wildlife adapted to an ever-changing climate, including massive monsters that players will take on in action-packed encounters. As hunters, players protect the balance of the ecosystem, utilizing resources from hunts to craft powerful gear and continue investigating the mysteries at the heart of these new lands

Key Features

Wild New Adventure – Monster Hunter Wilds follows the story of a special Research Commission investigating the Forbidden Lands. Fully voiced for the first time in the series, the hunter is joined in their journey by a colorful cast of characters, including a Palico partner, Guild-appointed Handler Alma, trusty smithy Gemma, and the mysterious child Nata. Together, the team ventures into an unexplored new frontier where surprises await around every corner.

A Living World – The Forbidden Lands spans multiple biomes with dynamic identities, such as the Windward Plains and Scarlet Forest, where the ecosystems shift between vibrant seasons brimming with life, and unforgiving climates where monsters fight over limited resources. Changes in the landscape will impact the creatures that live there and push hunters to adapt as well.

New Monsters and Wildlife – Monster Hunter Wilds features a variety of new creatures, ranging from herds of small species to large monsters—some of which roam the Forbidden Lands in packs. Every creature hunters encounter in the wild has carved out a special place in its habitat and possesses unique attacks and behaviors. Players can also now ride atop the Seikret, an agile new mount enabling hunters to traverse difficult terrain, perform actions like sharpening weapons on the move, and switch between two weapons while out on hunts!

Evolved Hunting Action – The series’ acclaimed action-packed gameplay is back and more exciting than ever! Hunters can look forward to tracking down monsters with an array of new moves, special abilities, equipment, and more. The action also now flows seamlessly from cutscenes to gameplay, resulting in a new level of immersion.

Cross-Play Multiplayer – Alongside the option to enjoy the story of Monster Hunter Wilds solo, hunters can join up to three other players across any platform to explore the world together and take on the game’s challenges as a hunting party or receive aid from notable story characters as Support Hunter NPCs.

'He didn't even spare the younglings, Cody.'

I was I was feeling all kinds of normal about my favorite desert husbands this week, so I made Cody's sad imperial armor, which is available for download now and of course comes in his proper 212th gold.

It has nothing to do with Cody, Fox, their beloved Chancellor, or the missing rug from his office.

Soothe the trauma Filoni and friends keep putting us through and grab your Cody armor now!

Make sure to also download my bodyglove set for your sims to wear as as a full outfit or under their lower armor.

Sunday, May 12th 2024. Picton > Nelson.

Well, it was all going rather well until it wasn't - Jake and I both felt really homesick this morning so we've decided to catch the next flight home. We feel we've seen enough of NZ and we're really happy with the experience we've had, but we miss the UK and it's time to call it a day.

(Record scratch.) Anyway, enough about the dream I was having at three o'clock this morning - today was our ferry day down to the south island. We had a mega early start (5:30!) and caught a 3.5 hour ferry from Wellington to Picton. It was a pretty uneventful journey all in all (it was a bit like sitting on a washing machine the whole time, but not in a Betty Draper kind of way) so we did a few laps around the ferry and gazed longingly at the things we couldn't afford - the premium lounge, the gym, the sandwiches. We spent most of it on the top deck outside when we realised this had the best views, and I could listen to Justin Hurwitz's 'The Landing' on repeat the whole time.

The weather was rainy and spotty, with the faint promise of sunlight all morning (which eventually arrived). One thing I've forgotten to mention about this whole trip is that, as Jake and I were horrified to learn, New Zealand has almost no ozone layer over it, meaning that even with the modest sunshine we had today it only takes 12 minutes for you to burn up (in the UK the burn time is 30 - 60 minutes). Then, when you add the redhead factor to this equation, you're actually looking at about 6 minutes of burn time for Jake and I. Whilst they might not have the poisonous spiders or the upright dogs with pouches that Australia has, the Kiwis instead have something far more terrifying - the literal #nofilter sunshine.

After our ferry handbrake turned into Picton we coached down to Pelorus Bridge and we took part in the micro version of ferrying - kayaking. Whilst the size of my arms may suggest a different story, kayaking was not my strong suit, and telling the kayak to 'Go forward more' proved to be a poor strategy as we made our way down the Te Hoiere river. Jake and I shared a kayak, and if you ever wanted to test your communication skills with someone then oh boy is this the activity for you (we did eventually get the hang of it, once we stopped spinning like a Beyblade). This is also the location where they filmed the barrel escape scene in The Desolation of Smaug.

We finished our day off by settling in Nelson, where we're staying tonight and tomorrow. For dinner, we had pizzas the size of flying saucers with the gang (the Scots, Liam & Emma, and non-Scots, McKenzie & Jospeh) at Steffano's Pizzeria. Tomorrow, we're looking at rings, and as I'm sure you've infered, this is also related to Lord of the Rings (a recurring theme of this trip).

Top 5 Cigars of 2023

Calling all cigar enthusiasts! If you want to know which cigars made it to the top of the list in 2023, you're in for a treat. In this video, we will reveal the five best cigars, according to Cigar Journal, that every connoisseur needs to try.

Welcome, fellow aficionados! Today, we dive into the world of premium cigars and uncover the crème de la crème of 2023. Cigar Journal, a trusted authority in the industry, has meticulously selected these cigars. Join me as we explore these exquisite blends and discover what differentiates them. 

Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just starting your journey into fine tobacco, this video is your gateway to experiencing some truly exceptional smokes. So sit back, prepare your palate, and let's indulge in the artistry of these masterfully crafted cigars together.

Starting at number 5, the Plasencia Alma Fuerte Eduardo cigar is renowned for its complex and rich flavor profile. Upon lighting, one can expect to be greeted with a symphony of tastes, including the deep and comforting notes of cocoa and almonds. As the experience progresses, hints of nutmeg and cedar emerge, adding warmth and woodiness to the palate. 

The Alma Fuerte Eduardo's Colorado Claro wrapper, which has been aged for a decade, imparts a distinctive taste with a tempered body. This aging process contributes to developing the cigar's nuanced flavors, such as dark chocolate, plum, and cinnamon, rounded out with finishing notes of oak and molasses. 

These flavors are further complemented by a rich profile that includes black pepper, natural tobacco, fruit, and earth, providing a complex and satisfying smoking experience.

The Plasencia Alma Fuerte Eduardo cigar has also been described as having a medium-bodied profile, with the Colorado claro wrapper enhancing the deep notes of almonds, cedar, cocoa, nutmeg, and hints of spice. This combination of flavors reflects the craftsmanship and quality of the tobacco used, characteristic of premium cigars.

Number 4 on this list is the Rocky Patel Disciple Robusto.  This medium to full-bodied cigar showcases a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, enveloping a blend of Nicaraguan fillers and binder. This particular cigar is part of a line introduced by Rocky Patel Premium Cigars Inc., a company founded in 1995 by Rakesh "Rocky" Patel, a former Hollywood attorney who developed an interest in cigars while mingling with actors on set. 

The Disciple Robusto has been well-received in the cigar community, earning a 91-point rating from Cigar Aficionado. During the initial third, smokers can expect to experience a blend of oak, earth, and spice, transitioning into a balanced black pepper flavor. As the cigar progresses, a toasted cedar note emerges around three-quarters of an inch into the cigar, complementing the existing flavors. 

Moving into the second third of the cigar, the mocha notes dominate, increasing pepper, cedar, and earth notes, creating a rich and flavorful dimension combining chocolate and coffee elements. 

As the smoker enters the final third of the Rocky Patel Disciple Robusto, the flavors continue to be led by gritty earth and rich espresso beans. Still, there is also a noticeable change in the retro-hale. 

The raisin sweetness present earlier takes a back seat to a sharply increased amount of black pepper. The overall construction remains impressive, with a beautiful draw and a burn line that continues to give no problems.

Third place for 2023 finds the Liga Privada Unico Serie Year of the Rabbit cigar. This cigar is part of Drew Estate's Liga Privada line, which translates to "private blend" in Spanish. It features a Connecticut River Valley Stalk Cut Habano wrapper, a Mexican San Andres binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan and Brazilian fillers. 

This blend is notable for its departure from the Connecticut broadleaf wrappers commonly used in other Liga Privada cigars, opting instead for a Habano seed grown in the Connecticut River Valley. The cigar is crafted in a Robusto size, measuring four and a half inches, and has a ring-gauge of 54.

The Liga Privada Unico Serie Year of the Rabbit cigar offers a complex and evolving flavor profile throughout its smoking experience. In the first third, smokers can expect an impeccable taste with a flavor profile that is described as incredible. 

As the cigar progresses into the second third, the tasting notes become more defined by earthiness, barnyard, and leather, with barnyard notes replacing toastiness in the trio of dominant flavors. Toastiness remains present, however, alongside some generic cracker flavors. 

Moving into the final third, one can anticipate a continuation of the rich and complex flavors characteristic of the Liga Privada line, given the overall description of the cigar's quality and craftsmanship.

Before we divulge the top 2 cigars of the year, please take a moment to subscribe to our channel.  It helps us out a lot, and we appreciate it very much.  And on we go.

The runner-up spot of the year's top cigars goes to J.C. Newman and their El Baton Belicoso.  The J.C. Newman El Baton Belicoso cigar carries a rich history deeply intertwined with the legacy of America's oldest family-owned premium cigar maker. 

The El Baton brand was initially introduced by J.C. Newman in 1914, when cigars were an everyday luxury and a nickel could secure a hand-rolled cigar made with Cuban tobacco. 

The El Baton Belicoso is known for its robust pyramid shape, which is shorter and features a more rounded taper at the head compared to other tapered cigars like torpedoes or pyramids. 

Measuring approximately 5 to 5 1/2 inches in length with a ring gauge of 50 to 54, the Belicoso size is a testament to the craftsmanship and tradition passed down through four generations of the Newman family.

This cigar is steeped not only in tradition but also in flavor. It leaves bold impressions of coffee, spice, and raisins on the palate, a profile that has earned it a well-deserved 93 rating. The revival of the El Baton brand represents a bridge between the company's storied past and its present-day success as it continues to handcraft some of the world's finest cigars.

Drumroll for the Cigar of the Year for 2023:  This honor goes to E.P. Carillo’s Allegiance Confidant. This is a notable addition to the esteemed portfolio of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, a legendary figure in the cigar industry. The Allegiance line was created through a partnership with Oliva Cigar Co., and the cigars are rolled at their factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. This collaboration marks a unique chapter in Perez-Carrillo's illustrious career, as he typically produces cigars at his factory, Tabacalera La Alianza S.A., in the Dominican Republic.

The Allegiance Confidant features an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that encases a Nicaraguan binder and filler. This combination yields a medium to full-bodied profile, offering a refined flavor palette that includes cedar, rich espresso, earthy undertones, and a blend of spices. 

The cigar has been recognized for its quality and complexity, earning it a 95 rating by Cigar Aficionado and a number 1 spot in Cigar Journal’s Top 25 of 2023.

Here is what you can expect when enjoying 2023’s Cigar of the Year: The initial third of the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant introduces a palate of pepper, quickly complemented by a delightful mix of caramel and cream. 

This combination sets up an engaging flavor profile without being too aggressive. The sweet and spicy nuances are harmonized beautifully to captivate the smoker from the get-go. 

Transitioning into the middle section of the cigar, the E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant reveals a sophisticated melange of flavors. Vanilla comes to the forefront, adding a pleasant aromatic sweetness, while an earthen mushroom delivers a hint of umami depth. Burnt wood notes provide a robust base, reminding smokers of the cigar's handcrafted artisanship. 

As the cigar concludes, the profile shifts towards a rich, peppery finish spiked with gingerbread spice. Accents of nutmeg and cinnamon emerge, offering a warm and inviting endnote. The smoke may pick up in intensity, ending on a bolder note than it began, allowing aficionados to savor the expert craftsmanship that went into the blend. 

We hope you’ve enjoyed our video on the top 5 cigars of 2023, as chosen by Cigar Journal Magazine.  Please enjoy another in our growing line of videos, such as this ‘Cigar Loung Etiquette’ on the screen now.

Planning Your River Cruise Adventure

Budget and Travel Dates: Establish a budget for your river cruise adventure and be flexible with your travel dates to take advantage of special promotions and discounts.

15 years in, Everybody's Brewing undergoes a refresh with new labels, a new logo, and several new releases.

Press Release

[White Salmon, WA, March 6th, 2023]. Everybody’s Brewing, a mid-size brewery out of White Salmon, Washington, announced today that it has completed a major rebranding, first unveiled at their pub in White Salmon, WA on March 4th, 2023. 

Everybody’s Brewing was founded in 2008, on the principles of creating the highest quality craft beer, in a space where everyone would feel welcome. While this ethos remains the same, they wanted to elevate their visual presence to match the quality of their product. The full overhaul of their visual identity will be rolled out across all facets of the business, including packaged products, interior design, and online presence. The launch of the rebrand coincides with the release of four new year-round 12oz cans, and two new seasonal 16oz cans. 

“We’ll still be the same Everybody’s,” said Everybody’s Co-Owner Doug Ellenberger, “but we recognize the importance of keeping our branding fun and relevant. The market has changed a lot in the 14 years since we opened, and we’re keeping up with those changes. We feel the new branding will appeal both to our day-one customers, and folks that haven’t yet thought to give us a try.” Says Ellenberger, “We take a lot of pride in the quality of our beer, and we are also really proud of our new look.”

The former branding, designed in 2008, featured a logo of people standing together with beers in hand – a very literal interpretation of “Everybody’s”. Over the years, the logo remained the same while aspects of artwork on their cans slowly, continuously evolved. This slow evolution allowed the company to grow, but they found the products becoming less cohesive over time. The new branding is not only an effort to tighten up their look, but a chance for the company to define and re-iterate who “Everybody’s Brewing” is, and what they stand for.

“We kicked off this project by exploring the mission and voice of our company, which was a really exciting aspect of the process for us.” Says Co-Owner Christine Ellenberger, “It was a chance to sit down and say ‘Okay, we know who we are, but how do we better define that share it with people?’ In the end, the most important thing was that we stay true to our core values: inclusivity, quality, fun, and community.”

The new branding has a clean, but retro feel, and maintains the playful aspect that Everybody’s is known for. This can be exemplified by 12oz cans of their new “Co-Pilot Pilsner”, featuring a joyful, animated dog hanging out the side of a classic pickup truck window.

Their new logo is a flag with an emblazoned “E”, and new slogan boldly states, “Beer For All.”

Ellenberger noted it’s importance, “The flag was kind of an ironic play; traditionally, they’re used to stake claim or ownership someone or something specific, but our flag stakes claim for everybody. We truly believe that craft beer is a community staple, one that everyone should be able to enjoy. Our new slogan drives that home. We make beer for everybody.”

Everybody’s will continue the celebration of their rollout, and your first chance to buy the new cans, at the following events: 

PDX: 3/9 – Belmont Station

Vancouver: 3/10 Ben’s Bottle Shop

Tacoma: 3/14 – Peaks and Pints

Visit Everybodysbrewing.com to further explore the new branding and their new lineup of cans.

About Everybody’s Brewing: Founded in 2008, Everybody’s Brewing sits perfectly nestled on the cliffs of White Salmon, WA, overlooking the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. Inspired by the region’s premium hop and malt production, their beer offerings reflect the ever-changing trends and innovation within the brewing industry. The brewery’s pub features globally-inspired fare with great attention paid to high-quality ingredients and customer experience, with jaw-dropping views of its volcanic neighbor to the south: Mt. Hood.
