the batbrothers as different flavors of EOS lip balm
dick: vanilla bean- itâs a classic, and therefor practically everyone loves it. itâs sweet and not too overbearing- a well rounded flavor.
jason: sweet mint- some people swear by it, others despise it. it leaves your lips tingling- but in the best way possible. and itâll always be my personal favorite
tim: summer fruit- super vague about the actual flavor- what fruit does âsummer fruitâ entail? regardless, itâs a crowd favorite- even if we donât fully know what it tastes like
damian: lemon drop (with spf 15!)- another controversial one. itâs sour, but so many people love it. unhinged for a lip balm flavor, and yet- it works.

Collection of asks 2 - BTSandVMIN
I had to make a second one because the length of the first one was getting way too long. If you are curious about some of my older asks here is the link to my first collection post -Â Collection of asks - BTSandVMIN
I have this post because I feel some of the asks I answer are worth saving, for me personally, and perhaps for you as well. But I donât want to put them all in my Masterpost where I want to keep it a bit more structured for my longer posts and analysis. So for asks that are more about answering specific questions or about general things or my feelings I will put them here.
Asks are written more in the moment than my usual posts, so they might be less accurate as itâs all mostly from the top of my head. The newest ones will actually be on top, and then they will get older going down the list. Iâll update it regularly as I answer more asks. :)
Look at jhope's interaction with maknae line
Sorry for spamming with asks
You're so right about how any ship can be possible if you focus on it
I reject any idea of a couple being pushed to protect anotherÂ
What do you think of vminâs busan forehead kiss?
About tae changing the choreo of fake love
What do you think of that famous ji/kook trip together ?
"Friends" doesn't speak about a friendship to me and the title seems like a way to "hide" the true meaning. Thoughts?
I honestly do feel his "best" friend is only ever needed when it's convenient to him
When j/k wore matching shirts asked them something like are u guys dating Its so differnt from his rn to vmin
Looking at th and jm for what they are or represented to be their bond shouldn't be taken at face value. Just reminding that jealousy amongst bandmates do exist
Jimin kissed tae on the pretext of kissing tanny. tae blanked out for a few secs after that
Jin in Jimins Festa profile this yr called Tae his "Bf" and then the next word is "best friend"
I dont think vmin or any other ship in bts for that matter are in any form of relationship right now.
Kind of agree with vmin not spending much time together outside of work & things they do/say barely even give off that "possibly a couple" vibe in general
IF feelings are involved, who do you think fell first and why?Â
You already said that you ship them, but do you think that they're real?
I found it kinda weird how jimin apparently "didn't know" 4 o'clock was inspired by him
Have u seen that one radio interview in the past Th openly called out jm for liking men?Â
We never see them hangout tgt I mean we have seen ji/kook tgt more often and tae with his wooga squad
What did you think about jimin playing the video game using tae's acc while the latter looked from behind?
When tae posted 'lets keep going for a long time i only have u' they probably only knew e/o for about 2 yrs and now we also know that at that time they still argued and fought with e/o alot. Yet they felt so strongly for their frienship.
What are your thoughts about tae choosing " my time " to recommend it to a non army.
If we look at their personalities tae is more of introverted and shy these days while jimin is more outgoing and loud. But when it comes the them jimin is always the one who seems cautious
Is it my imagination or is Jimin VERY loud lately? I feel like the roles have somehow been reversed.
The timeline of the dumpling incident really confuses me.Â
Why do i feel like vmin dont hangout outside of work anymore
Just read your ji/kook vs vmin post regarding festa and I agree. you can tell that jm gets very serious when it comes to tae
A possible sexual relationship between Jimin and Tae. I've seen subtle hints where this might be happening behind the scenes like the recent bang bang con
Whenever joon says stuff like 'what a nice friendship/bcoz he is your friend' vmin have a very neutral or blank face
When do you think their friendship turned into something more?
Did u see how tae coloured jimin's name on the soft board with purple.Â
Jimin recently in this festa says jk is his soul brother
Nj nearly always tries to underplay vmin's bond.
Sweet Night: âSharing my fragile truth That I still hope the door is open Door'Â
I feel like jimin was reluctant to talk about the dumpling incident probably bcoz it involves him getting drunk?
Your opinion on the whole "that's smth a couple would do" "you two look like a couple" for ji/kook vs "it's cause he's your friend "
What ur opinion is on the new kdrama that is based on homosexuality.Â
Tae has many a times mentioned wanting to have kids or wanting to be father.
Taehyung has always talked about having a family, children and wife etc.Â
I personally feel the maknae line in general have been advised not to do lives alone tgt bcoz of the intense shipping
I spend hours reading your posts and I could never get tired of it
I have a doubt about vmin  recently V is so close to JK it seems like V avoiding jimin
Taehyung talked about the movie Call Me by Your Name and its soundtrack
I honestly like how unpopular vmin are.
Let's say JM and TH have other partners - do you think said partners would be okay with a whole song of vmin declaring each other as soulmates?Â
In the end there is no moment that is unique to a ship. do you agree?
Some vlives are arranged by the company and sometimes members themselves when the find free time they go live.Â
What was the point of making a decision tght to come on vlive tgh infront of the fan to then not do it?
It cant be the company stopping v and jm from doing a live can it?Â
Do you the think the reason vmin dont do vlive is because taehyung's feelings are one sided?
Theory on a possible reason on why vmin has not gone to do a vlive on their own for so long?
On bon voyage 3 j hope mentions how v and jk were hugging each other in their sleep.
Ji/kook is obvious (ear nibble) and Tae reacting blank to Vmin moments
But why they dont have funny bro handshake like v/kook?
You are so delusional like seriously how do you function in real life
You know how vmin called eo soulmates. The term can also be taken in a platonic way too right
If thereâs a real ship in bts, can you give me your opinion on who?
Tae kissing jimin's cheek after they won an award in some music show (About ship edits)
I think vmin is real. Can you do a Sweet night analysis because in my opion the song dosen't match with the drama
Why are you a Vmin shipper if you don't think Jimin is gay or at least bisexual?Â
I don't blame V and Jimin for not doing Vlive together
You know that blurry picture of vmin in 2014?
Tae and jk seem like the members who are most non straight to u and also that jimin might be straight so then isnt it more possible for t**k***k to be the couple?
Do you think that vmin are straight?
Can you tell me what makes you think jk is not straight
Ppl connect sweet night and 4 o' clock with vmin After tae's live yesterday n i m also seeing some ppl being offended by it.
Why do I sense that Tae has more of crush on Jimin (and realized it) but Jimi is oblivious?
Will you still publish that long vmin and lgbt in korea analysis.
Even namjoon said they should go live to discuss about their song.
I dont really consider minjoon vlive as one they did themselves. it was mostly organised by the company
Maknae line avoid vlives and its really weird that jimi would do it with rm but not tae
Shouldnt it be easy for them to go live tght than anyone else?
Tae is very reluctant or scared to do a vlive with jimin
In the past month when vmin did mention about the song they just made superficial comments
Hi đ do you write vmin fics?
I also feel that jm is nervous to talk about the song even though he said he will in the comeback show
If jimin doesn't go live today as well maybe we can get a vmin live?
Vmin antis say vmin are not friends irl and use the fact that they are never spotted hanging out offscreen as "proof"
Will you do a Vmin throwback - 2019?
Can we even be considered delulu anymore for thinking not all of this is a coincidence?
Sweet night doesn't really fit the couple relationship in the drama
What do you mean when you say 'not being delulu'?
I dont know why after listening to sweet night i feel very nervous?
Maybe the lyrics to SN are very well just about the drama/webtoon.
Do you think the songs lie and stigma are related ?Â
Namjoon talking about Friends 2 -Â Making excuses
Namjoon talking about Friends 1 - Canât write about them
About the âHello my alienâ line in Friends
Do you think they gone do fansing this period of promoting?
Jm said when he wants to make and gift a song if he finds someone he loves and he actually helped write n produce the melody of chingu
Omg Ive been crying over the vmin song lyrics ever since they came out.
Thoughts about the song and what you took out of it
Its not a light hearted thing to call each other soulmate
This kind of debunks the christmas song theoryâŚÂ i feel sad like they are commercialising their friendship
Jimin is partly involved in the making and it will be about Jimin and Taeâs bond
I fear that vmin will become the next larryÂ
Chrismats song, smile awards. Arent those awards previously decided and even the words written for them by the company?
I was wondering if you're going to write something about bv4 and all the vmin we got there
Do you think that vmin say they love each other truly or for fan service?
Recently i watched a vkook video to compare
Do you know how exactly vmin met?
Whenever I do get the chance to focus on Vmin itâs usully one of three things
At the airport Tae had his arm around Jimin's shoulder but removed it quickly when they arrived in front of the cameras.
I donât care if people donât ship Vmin romantically. But with Vmin doing things like this you canât really blame us if we do.
I got a looooot of asks on the Christmas song and I will adress the ones I have left all in one go
The reaction in bv was probably cause he wants to visits there and jm got there first
Vmin talked about tannie and how they went to visit tannie at tae's parents house
Just do it how you feel comfortable, we are waiting for your analysis
What video is the gif you post with this : Jimin and V talking about going to the Sapporo snow festival and playing in the snow togetherÂ
This break was an opportunity for them to be around other friends and family so maybe they just wanted to spend this time apart
Do you really think vm are soulmates? Sometimes i feel like we might be over using this word for themÂ
Once again thank you for all the asks you send! And also sorry for not being able to keep up and answer them all. Iâll try to answer some old ones as well whenever I can, and I will keep adding some of them to this list. I hope you found something interesting. Thanks for reading!

Up from the Depths P.1 - Re-Review #32
Now, just to stick my personal opinion in here... weâre about to get to two of my all time favourite episodes. The amount of references to Jeff, and the purpose for IR - thereâs just golden moments everywhere you look. So letâs have a look at some of them.
âWhat is it, John?â
âYouâre gonnaâ want to see this.â
âThe TV-21! No, it canât be...â
Well, it is (or we wouldnât have an episode)!
âIs that what I think it is?â
âItâs the TV-21!â
âIs anyone gonnaâ clue me in here?â
âItâs the TV-21!â
âThat is not helping!â
Donât worry, Alan, Iâll try and catch you up. But that just serves as another well-placed reminder of all the things Alan (and Kayo) is too young to remember about IR.
The fact Jeff etched his name onto the ship does not surprise me. It goes towards showing how proud he was of it, and completely fits in with everything we are told about him by Grandma (once again, wonderfully well placed comments).
Now, the TV-21, is given to us as âthe first Thunderbirdâ, the fastest ship (at the moment), and Jeffâs pride and joy. Thereâs a nice little reference to Jeffâs previous careers as well, with the fact theyâve added the âColonelâ. Nice touch.
But of course, of all the places to crash land, it had to be in the Marianaâs Trench. I mean, there is a reason why itâs âthe worldâs last unmapped oceanâ, according to the crew. Itâs a pretty dangerous place. If you want to read about it, feel free, National Geographic have some incredibly interesting articles on what they theorise could be down there based on their limited exploration. But what we do know, is that itâs actually a very hostile seascape, and that the marine life which inhabits it seems to have evolved drastically to cope. I think that if we are ever able to understand it, we will know a lot more towards global warming and the mutations of animals. But I hate swimming. Waterâs not my area. I prefer to research land mammals and leave my colleagues with the wet-weather adventures.
Anyhow, I think itâs totally awesome that Virgil was playing the piano and that Scott was sat at Jeffâs desk in the opening for this episode too. Itâs always nice to see little throwbacks to this very human family.
So letâs discuss the origins of TV-21 for a moment. Before it was a Thunderbird, it was a comic series! And itâs original name was âTV Century 21Ⲡwhich was eventually shortened to TV21. It had various mergers, which featured additions to the name, but TV21 stuck for the majority of issues. It was a weekly comic published by City Magazines, beginning around 1965. Itâs content was... drum roll... the sci-fi TV series created by Gerry and Sylvia Andersonâs company: Century 21 Productions - thus where the comics name originated from, the TV being added to clarify where the material was coming from and hopefully encourage people to watch and read both in tandem.
The comic often had newspaper front pages, dedicated to the fictional news stories of the multiple Anderson worlds, e.g. Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray.
Some really well known artists of the time worked on the comics, which only serves to increase their value. In our current day, the original âTV Century 21Ⲡeditions (Issues 1 - 154) are really hard to find, and so they sell/auction for incredibly high prices when one can be found - like much of the Andersonâs work which made itâs way into print. It does also mean that the first half of this great comic series is practically lost to the world.
Which is a big shame, because it was in many of these first issues (with their print time colliding with the original air slot of âThunderbirdsâ) featured many episode-story related additions. For instance;
The supposed capture of âThe Hoodâ - which might have gone someway to explaining his disappearance during Series 2 of the show.
An addition to the US Armyâs story line from âPit of Perilâ.
An addition to the events of âSun Probeâ, as well as an in-depth story on Thunderbird Three investigating the connection between the sun and natural disasters (better known now as global warming). My dad still has his copy of this edition, and I have no plans on selling it. Itâs ironic that it features the only story line relevant to my current career. Hey, maybe there is such a thing as fate over coincidence (as âDoctor Whoâ does suggest).
A special story for Thunderbirds Two and Four, upon which it is rumoured that the opening rescue of the âThunderbirdsâ (2004 film) was based upon. I personally think this was one of the best stories for the pair, and Iâm disappointed it never appeared in an episode (as such). There were also rumours that this story was an expansion of the TOS episode âAtlantic Infernoâ, but those were never confirmed and all suggestions ever made pointed towards it being a completely separate idea. There are interesting similarities in places though, so itâs worth consideration.
An expansion to Thunderbird Twoâs âdisappearanceâ, after the events of âTerror in New York Cityâ, which covered the rumours spiraling during the time Thunderbird Two was out of operation, and some of the missions which were undertaken during said time.
And one of the few Fireflash related stories to feature outside of the TOS TV episodes. It was also one of the comic editions which fans come to know as âThunderbirds meets Doctor Whoâ. At the time, both shows were scoring some of the highest viewings, and so I suppose these crossover editions only made sense. Many of the early editions featured such crossovers, including 2 other issues which Iâve posted above.
When we actually get to 2065, thereâs going to be a bit of confusion over dates - the comics (set still in the futurist time - ever encroaching for us) were released on the corresponding dates, but with the year still set a hundred forward, e.g. 1965 was 2065, but the 13th March was the 13th March.
Right, enough of my geek-worthy knowledge on comics, and back to the episode. I mean, look at Scottâs face. Heâs definitely had enough of my comic-based ramblings.
âBegging your forgiveness, Your Mongrel-ship.âÂ
I think the fact that Parker serves Sherbet tea (with one sugar) itâs just classic.
âI believe âwild goose chaseâ were the words they used.â
âWell, as it happens, Parker loves a good chase. Parker, bring the car around would you? Thatâs right Sherbet. âOn the doubleâ.â
âhOn the double, hit his. Taking horders from ha mut, never though hIâd see the day.â
He does it anyway though - dedication right there,
Well now, time to visit the ocean. Did anyone else think the Deep Ocean Surveyor looked a bit... wrong? I had bad feelings about that thing from the start.
âThis ship sure is a weird looking thing.â
Yeah, thanks for the back up there Gordon. Should have kept a closer eye on that one, although I do completely understand why they got so distracted and donât blame them for it.
I love how Scott - Mr in command and always right - turns straight towards the TV-21 as soon as he knows theyâre no injuries to worry about and that the DOS is all okay. Wasnât he the one saying there was a rescue to prioritise only minutes ago?
âGordon, what about the TV-21? Have they found part of the wreck?â
âStand by, Scott, Iâll take a closer look. Just gottaâ clear some debris. Itâs not just part of the wreck, itâs the whole thing!â
That is actually quite surprising! You know, something surviving like that. Good craftsmanship is all I can say.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvltZMDOK5g
I canât describe this scene any better than the scene itself, so Iâm just gonnaâ leave it there for you to re-watch at your own leisure. The faces are pictures!
âWhyâs everyone making such a big deal about a wrecked plane? I donât even remember it!â
âThe TV-21 was Dadâs baby. The first ever super Mach-20 ship. It was the prototype to Thunderbird One. Dad invested everything into, but The Hood sabotaged it in flight. Dad had to abandon the plane somewhere over the Maraina Trench rather than let The Hood get his hands on it. I remember it broke Dadâs heart. I always thought it was smashed and lost in the deep.â
And there we have a link to that Hood-Jeff backstory (which the writerâs then conveniently shoved into a like ten-fifteen second explanation of âI am a bad guy becauseâ, but hey, weâre not quite there yet!) that kinda gets forgotten.
âCor!â
âI believe the word youâre looking for is Bingo. Well done Bertie.â
âVery smart of you to track that signal John.â
âWe got lucky.â
You donât have to be so modest you know John.
âIt seems The Hood may be up to his old tricks.â
âIâve seen engineering like this before. Itâs the work of The Mechanic.â
âOh no! Thatâs The Mechanicâs ship! Thunderbird Four, get out of there!â
âToo late.â
Yeah... it might have been good to notice that a little bit sooner.
Now, someone has some serious anger issues! I mean, I now he wants them out of the way (and later on thatâs heâs being controlled), but that was seriously uncalled for!
âYou better come up with something fast. Thunderbird Fourâs hull integrity is failing. Youâre getting crushed!â
Thanks Virgil, we can see that, unfortunately. This is another of those moments where - even though I know how it ends - I have a little panic.
âHull integrity at 28%. Gordon what are you doing?â
âThe airlockâs jammed. I canât get the door open.â
âThen make a new door! But do it fast, you donât have long. Hull at 7%. Gordon, get out now! Thunderbird Four is offline.â
âWhat happened?â
âThunderbird Four's been rendered in operative.â
âGordon!â
âIâm here. Iâm okay. But Thunderbird Fourâs a little... ur... beat up.â
This is a little like that moment in âEOSâ, where I think our collective hearts stopped.
I know Gordon left the sub to try and free it, but it was actually a good thing that he did, else he probably would have been crushed, which wouldn't have been good. He was caught a little in the blast anyway, so Iâm surprised he was a well-able to continue as he was.
But back to those serious anger issues - The Mechanic, you need to learn that once you have damaged someoneâs ship past the piloting level, you donât need to then snap it in two - that is just downright mean, not to mention unnecessary!
Poor Thunderbird Four. I seriously thought at the time that it wasnât going to be recoverable. Look at Gordonâs poor little face.
The determination to get the TV-21 back as well was just wonderful.
âNot possible, only Thunderbird Four can survive the pressure. We need to come up with something extraordinary and fast.â
âWe can use the TV-21!â
âItâs been sitting on the bottom of the ocean for years. Do you think it will still work?â
âAbsolutely. I build things to last.â
âGordon, we need you to get on board the TV-21.â
âI always wanted to fly Dadâs plane.â
Of course he did.
Now this was a sight to behold. Look at him!
âI canât believe we used to wear these things.â
This was such a lovely little throw back moment.
âYou could try the Jeff Tracy fix. After all, it is Dadâs plane.â
âFAB. This is TV-21. We have lift off.â
And hell did that work!
Rescue count: 35
I mean, letâs just momentarily forget that this part ends with The Mechanic making a grand come back and stealing it.
âTo The Mechanic, let me tell you who youâre dealing with. Weâre International Rescue; you canât push us around, you cant tell us what to do, and you absolutely, positively canât take our stuff!â
âNo, let me tell you who youâre dealing with. Iâm The Mechanic. I take what I want, from who I want, whenever I want it.â
Yeah... shivers.
Letâs just remember Gordonâs great moment getting to pilot it.
âSo tell me, what is it like flying Dadâs plane?â
âIt was awesome.â
See, thatâs a nicer ending.

There are drugstore beauty products you use even though they're not as good as your luxury favorite simply because you're trying to stick to a budget⌠and then there are the ones you use because they're legitimately just as good. Sometimes $15-and-under beauty products beat the odds and just nail the formulations, colors, and packaging as well (if not better) than their pricier counterparts. Over the years, I've come across a handful of these serums, mascaras, and shampoosâdrugstore beauty products I continue to use even though I have access to the most luxurious brands in the world. This list is dedicated to those makeup, skincare, and haircare products (some new, some classic) I recommend giving a try. Below, find 15 high-end products I absolutely love, as well as 15 cheaper alternatives I stan just as much. Every time I wash my blonde hair with this (delightfully non-stinky, non-drying) purple shampoo, people ask if I got my hair re-highlighted. As long as this beautifully packaged bottle is on the market, I'll never spend more than $12 on toning shampoo again. I swear by glycolic acid treatments to keep dull skin and breakouts at bay, and this $15 toner proves you don't need to blow your budget to reap the ingredient's benefits. The product smells like subtly like flowers, looks beautiful on my countertop, and leaves my skin consistently radiant (I use it about four times a week after cleansing and before moisturizing). Sold. My nontoxic skincare guru Racheli (also a Who What Wear beauty writer) introduced me to this almost alarmingly affordable all-natural skincare trio, which is basically the perfect serum starter pack: a moisturizing hyaluronic acid serum, a retinol to fight wrinkles and breakouts, and a brightening vitamin C serum. These formulas are fast-absorbing and always leave my skin more radiant. I discovered this blush-highlighter hybrid from '90s throwback brand Hard Candy a few years ago and keep coming back to it. The product is as pigmented as blushes four times the price, and the color gradient of bright coral to glowy pinkish-white leaves a luminous finish on the cheeks that I just can't quit. I've been dealing with the worst dry patches lately, and this new exfoliator from Bliss works shockingly well to clear dead skin and flakiness, leaving only plump, hydrated skin. The product, which has a jelly-like texture, is really gentle, thoughâno harsh, irritating ingredients. Just skin-loving goodies like fruit enzymes, cellulose, vitamin B5, niacinamide, and sodium hyaluronate (aka hyaluronic acid). This sleeper hit dry shampoo has a super-fine mist that soaks up grease without leaving a thick white residue. I also love that it smells fresh but not too overpowering, so you don't smell super strong all day like other pricier dry shampoos. I exclusively use cream highlighters, and I'm super impressed by these sticks by Burt's Bees (which come in both highlighter and blush form). They have a clear hydrating core in the middle, so they blend beautifully and allow for a natural, lit-from-within glow. Makeup artists and beauty editors were all instantly obsessed when L'OrĂŠal came out with this pretty pink tube of mascara last year. It leaves lashes fluffy and feathery thanks to its fiber wand, which delivers a ton of product to each lash without them looking clumpy. More proof that nontoxic skincare doesn't have to be expensive. I keep this vegan and 99% natural rosewater spray in my travel bag because it's super versatile. I use it to dampen my Beautyblender for makeup, as a micellar water to take off my makeup, and as a refreshing mist throughout the day. I basically only ever want to use liquid eye shadows that don't require brushes to apply, and this unique pick is a favorite, drugstore or not. It's essentially a lipgloss for your eyeâapply it alone for a subtle wash of shimmer or on top of another eye shadow to make it glow. It goes on like a liquid but dries down for crease-free long wear. I'm obsessed with the shades, too, especially the luminescent yellow and pink. This is a little pricier for a drugstore buy, but what can I say? It's French. This gentle cleansing lotion is one of my all-time favorite face washesâit leaves my skin clean but also unbelievably soft. Say hello to my holy-grail sunscreen (which, if you've read any of my SPF stories on Who What Wear before, you already know). This Japanese-made product is so thin, sheer, and fast-absorbing it's hard to believe there's any sunscreen in it at all (but trust me, there is!). Every time someone I know goes to Japan, I beg them to stock up. There's simply no sunscreen in the U.S., not even the priciest ones, that I prefer over this. It's simply silly to spend more than $8 on falsies when so many makeup artists and beauty editors agree these are the best. I love the flexible strip and natural fluttery look of these lashes, which are easy to apply, comfortable to wear, and just plain pretty. Expensive eye glosses, face glosses, and lipglosses are super trendy right now, but a $4 tube of Aquaphor will give you the same results. Not only does this stuff work wonders to heal dry lips, but you can also tap it on top of your cheekbones and over your eye shadow for that au courant dewy skin look everybody's loving right now. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more sustainably made, nontoxic body lotion than EO's. It's made with 100% natural plant ingredients and fragrances (and smells incredible, like fresh lavender). It absorbs quicker than most natural lotions and leaves the skin impossibly smooth. Not to mention $15 for 32 ounces? Incredible. Next: I Never Used Eye Cream Until I Discovered This $7 One. Opening Image: Burt's Bees

MASS EFFECT ANDROMEDAAAAAAAA
This is gonna be a rambly mess of feelings because I played end game last night and have a lot of thoughts. Iâm using a cut but if youâre reading on mobile just scroll really fast past this post.
Okay first of all, I played Sara Shepard, kept the default name (you get to hear it in dialogue!!!!) and default appearance (during the preview I was hesitant to waste even a second of play time on altering my appearance). I romanced Jaal because I really loved his emotional dialogue. I saved the salarian pathfinder instead of the krogan (I thought Drack was gonna kill me). I put colonies on every world, got everything up to 100% viability, and had a planet named after me. I saved Sloane but I couldnât shoot Reyes in the back.
I got everyone but Peebee loyal because no where on the description box does it tell you how important getting remtech out of the vaults is. By the time I realized I needed it to trigger her mission, I had already cleared the vault and couldnât go back in. So if youâre reading this and you havenât cleared all the vaults yet, GET THE REMTECH.Â
This is going to be so rambly and out of order but I just found the Jaal sex scene on youtube so letâs start with that. I try really hard not to judge other peopleâs player creations but this one is . . . not great. Please pay no attention to that.Â
youtube
Itâs like they tried to recreate Amy Schumer and could only work with what Bioware gave them. Itâs uncanny valley for sure.Â
I actually really like that the romances are so different??? That itâs not âand here youâll get a romance scene and of course before endgame youâll have the sexâ and the formula from the first three games. I like that this was just a random date on Aya that ended up being, like, the ultimate romance moment of the game. Itâs frickin great.Â
Iâve since watched the Suvi romance just for some contrast and because sheâs the one Iâm least likely to want to romance on my own playthrough. Though Ryder has some HILARIOUSLY awkward dialogue (âI like you youâre pretty I like seeing you on the bridge.â Kallo: âkill. me. now.â) that romance doesnât do nearly as much for me and lacks any semblance of the scorching alien sex scene you get with Jaal. No one takes their clothes off, for starters, and you definitely donât get boobs and alien oral sex. Â
So anyway: romance in this game is great. Iâm pretty sure I could have romanced Vetra as a lady, because she was responsive and didnât shut me down, and I really want to try that. Obviously Liam. Cora shot me down, and so did Lexi. Kallo and Drack werenât even options, though Iâd only romance Drack for the novelty of it. Gilâs only an option for dudes.Â
Okay letâs talk about ENDGAME because I just played it and itâs still fresh in my mind. The endgame of Andromeda is what Mass Effect 3 should have been. YOUR WHOLE SQUAD SHOWS UP. ALL OF THEM ARE THERE IN THE FINAL BATTLE and since you canât direct anyone it doesnât matter that you canât direct them either. As youâre charging through the forest in the Nomad all of the various fleets show up. I literally cried when Sloane showed up to make sure that everyone knew that Kadara had helped.Â
SPEAKING OF KADARA letâs talk about open world. Iâm really grateful that I spent the week before this playing Dragon Age because the maps in Andromeda are basically identical, only space age. It also employed the same method of highlighting loot (only they call it crates). So itâs nice that in the vaults where you need a path, you get the path of previous Mass Effect missions, but you still get open world exploring.Â
THE VAULT PUZZLES lol so many videos on youtube of people bitterly complaining about the vault puzzles, I thought they were going to be murderously hard. One guy spent literally two hours trying to figure out a puzzle that you couldnât use the vault key on. I finished it in under two minutes. Itâs basically sudoku with shapes instead of numbers and oddly shaped boxes but itâs still sudoku. I got that. I did not have nearly as much luck with knowing which console to interact with at which time, but you know whaaaatever.
BACK TO FEELINGS also I had a lot of siblings feelings about Scott, and a ton of feelings about the fact that I, the sister, saved him, the brother. It was like Jill of the Jungle all over again. I want to play as male Ryder but I also donât want to lose that feeling ever.Â
I was playing on easy and the endgame was actually super easy. I mean yeah and architect showed up AND nullifiers AND observers AND whatever the ones that make other ones are called, but honestly with your whole squad there it barely mattered? By the time I figured out what Scott was doing and actually paid attention to the architect theyâd already mostly taken it down themselves.Â
It was just nice to feel like all of the work Iâd put into the galaxy paid off. That all the other pathfinders showed up and had all their moments. That you fought beside salarians and turians and also the angara.Â
WHICH ALSO OKAY so when you get to choose a representative to the Nexus you can choose the Moshae??? Love that thatâs an option.Â
AND back to combat I really miss the power wheel, even though this made combat go a lot faster. I didnât like that I couldnât direct my squad powers, so combos largely happened by accident, or I made my own with my powers. I never could figure out the mechanics of the favorite profiles, let alone how to switch on the fly like they showed in the combat video. Nor could I find any guide online. 60 hours of game play and I couldnât figure it out. So much for that being intuitive, Bioware. BUT, I like that thereâs finally a reason that Shepard I mean Ryder has so many extra powers and abilities, and Sara teaching Sam how to be a real boy was really cute. ALSO CUTE: THE SPACE HAMSTER.Â
And idk I just started thinking about the throwbacks to ME3, the fact that you meet ex-Cerberus scientists in the wilds of Kadara and Conrad Vernerâs sister in the port. That Zaeed Massaniâs son is in the desert of Eos. That fallout from the Overlord Project follows you to Andromeda. There are so many interesting easter eggs for those who played the original trilogy but this also was really accessible for anyone whoâs never played the originals.Â
Not related: I had some HILARIOUS bugs in later stages. My ship wouldnât load sometimes and I found this out because I went up the stairs to the conference center and literally fell out of the spaceship into space because the floor hadnât loaded. Related: I like that falling off shit doesnât get you the dreaded death music, that you just pop back up right next to whatever you fell off.Â
I like some of the social issues it touched on. The trans woman you meet in the colony on Eos who came to Andromeda to start her new life as a woman. Gil deciding to have a baby with his friend Jill.Â
COLONIZATION BABIES. Yâall I want to read (or write) the fic where plural marriages are a thing, and Sara proposes to everyone (including Drack) on the Tempest to make sure they always get to stay together and also because theyâre all pretty conveniently in love with each other in various ways because what they really love and want to keep doing is exploring and pathfinding. I want one of them thinking maybe I want to colonize and farming for a bit and being okay at it but ultimately finding it boring as shit so they come back and theyâre given a bit of shit for it but itâs okay. I want Sara having Liamâs baby but sleeping in Jaalâs bed most nights while Liam hangs out in Peebeeâs escape pod. I want Cora having Gilâs second baby and letting him name it whatever he wants, which is how she ends up with a child named after a drive coil. I want them having petty fights about who left crumbs on the counter in the galley that Lexi tries to mediate. I want them to go to port thinking they want nothing more than to not see each other for a few days and then to end up back in each others presence in an hour because they had a thought they couldnât wait to share. This may or may not have been influenced by the latest book in the Expansion series, but thatâs a different post.Â
Because, finally, I LOVE THIS CREW. I started this game off just so unsure of Cora and her talking about what a poooowerful biotic she is and how she scared everyone in the Milky Way and blah blah blah but by the time I finished her loyalty mission I was literally crying about how much I loved her. Last night after endgame I finally finished all of the piddly requests and requirements to make movie night happen and it honestly was the best fucking thing to end a game on. Next play through Iâm waiting to do that the very last thing, because it felt like the end of the party at the Citadel DLC, everyone sitting around on a couch and laughing and just being their perfect selves.Â
In conclusion:Â
Detractors: no power wheel, no squad powers, actually wonky facial animation, some game glitches (I could never complete a mission on the Nexus because Iâd already scanned a thing and it kept telling me I hadnât.) (previously mentioned falling through the floor of my ship)
Positive: heavy on feelings, so many feelings, all of the feelings, my crew, INTERESTING AS FUCK stories, choices that matter, endgame appearances by everyone, twin feelings, open world exploring
EDITED TO ADD: OMFG THE QUARIANS. WE GONNA GET QUARIANS IN ANDROMEDA 2.Â

Speakeasies became a major part of New Yorkâs underground culture during 1920âs Prohibition and itâs still a major location for all the best parties and get-togethers here in Manhattan.
Just like in the swinging Gatsby days, speakeasies are hidden gems that can only be found by word of mouth, or with an extensive social network. Weâve made it easy for you by listing the best of NYCâs speakeasy bars right here, so you donât end up missing out on anymore of the best bar parties New York has to offer.
Here are 11 of the best NYC speakeasy bars of 2016:
1. Apotheke (Chinatown)
This number one rated NYC speakeasy, located on Doyers Street (a one-block street in Chinatown affectionately known as âMurder Alleyâ and âThe Bloody Angleâ), is Apotheke. Perhaps the most hidden of all the bars on this list, its low ceilings, curtain-red couches, and dim lighting support this vibe.
The bar is adorned with vintage vials and prescription bottles, leaving the impression that the cocktails are not mere drinks, but potions. And given that they include ingredients from their rooftop garden in their concoctions, they just might be. Inspired by apothecaries in Europe, this hidden speakeasy bar is for those into the best New York mixology.
2. Little Branch (West Village)
Behind an unmarked metal door at the corner of 7th Avenue and Leroy is Little Branch. With its low ceilings and spare aesthetic, this speakeasy has a decidedly intimate atmosphere--perfect for enjoying its custom cocktails, made by some of the most professional bartenders and mixologists around.
Many of you might know of the ever popular bar Milk & Honey, so if youâre a fan of them, youâll love their new Manhattan speakeasy Little Branch.
3. The Back Room (Lower East Side)
Behind a toy store and through a back alley youâll find The Back Room, one of two current speakeasies, it claims, to have actually operated during Prohibition, playing host to a long list of actors and gangsters, including infamous NYC organized crime mobster, Meyer Lansky. Old school through and through, the lounge area has a fireplace, a revolving book case, and the cocktails are served in teacups and the beer in paper bags, just like in the days of old.
Finding the place is like a game of hide and seek, but be sure to get tickets to The Back Roomâs Dollhouse theater, which feature live jazz, burlesque dancers, authentic moonshine, and a fabulous murder mystery. For more fun, dress up in costume, in bowler hats and flapper girl dresses.
4. Employeeâs Only (West Village)
Employeeâs Only really sets itself apart with its creative selection of savory late night eats--bacon wrapped lamb chops, chicken liver pate, and bone marrow poppers, to name a few. Try pairing them with one of their âEO Classicsâ made by some of the best bartenders in New York City! This is the best foodie bar youâll find in the Big Apple.
5. Nitecap (Lower East Side)
Far less formal than its cousin Death & Co (operated by the same team), Nitecap has a fun and easygoing atmosphere thatâs perfect for any night of the week. Located right underneath Schapiro's, it features a set of exquisite cocktails with exotic ingredients like pink peppercorn infused Vida Mezcal, Amaro Sfumato, and Peychaud Bitters. For anyone who can appreciate the artistry of booze, this is the spot to hit up. Donât forget to snap some pics of your favorite drinks!
6. The Garret (West Village)
Perched on the second floor above a Five Guys Burger and Fries (you actually have to go through Five Guys to find the staircase), this exposed-brick establishment features a selection of house cocktails as well as classics like a Gimlet, Gibson, and Manhattan. Find a spot at the bar, a booth, or on one of the comfy couches, and try not to make too many runs down to Five Guys, or the coppers might just find you!
7. PDT (East Village)
PDT aka Please Donât Tell, is hidden (behind a phone booth in Crif Dogs at St. Markâs Place) but itâs definitely not a secret--itâs probably the most well-known on this list. But with its renowned cocktails and exposed brick/hunting lodge chic decor, PDT is a must for speakeasy lovers. Not to mention their kitchen is phenomenally talented at pairing food with drinks on the menu.
8. The Bathtub Gin (Chelsea)
Hiding behind Stone Street Coffee Company (which actually has pretty good coffee, if youâre in the market for that) is the Bathtub Gin, a true throwback to the Prohibition Era that even hosts the best NYC burlesque shows. Oh yeah, and thereâs a freestanding bathtub in the middle of room. This underground speakeasy should be easy to find with the large crowds gathered outside. Thatâs how you know itâs going to be a fun night out.
9. Angelâs Share (East Village)
Head into Village Yokocho, find the secret door, and take the stairs up to the second floor, and youâll find one of the best whiskey bars in the city. Make sure to check out the absurdist take on one of the Sistine Chapel frescoes, just above the bar. In case you didnât know, âAngelâs Shareâ refers to the wine that gets evaporated during the barrel aging process.
10. The Blind Barber (Lower East Side)
With an actual barber shop in the front and a speakeasy in the back, the Blind Barber might be the coolest concept bar on this list. Lines are usually long, to get a haircut or a drink, but itâs completely worth it, even if youâre in a wine or beer mood. Your friends will be impressed when you manage to get into this hidden, exclusive bar. Donât forget to snap a few bragging selfies!
11. Attaboy (Lower East Side)
This one happens to be hidden behind a front window that reads âTailors M&H Alterationsâ and a steel door. Like a true blast from the past speakeasy, thereâs no menu, so itâs good to go in with an idea of what you want, and the bartender will take it from there.
Bonus: Although not hidden, another spectacular NYC speakeasy is Raines Law Room. Itâs a popular bar, and very well known, so it draws in crowds from far and wide, and might just be the most famous speakeasy on this list. Be forewarned, Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays are reservation only.
New York City speakeasies offer everything from booze history, to culture, to a taste of the modern. There really is no better way to spend a night out, whether youâre there for the music, the people, the happy hour, or cocktails. When so few cities offer whatâs available here in the capital of the world, thereâs no excuse not to go out and party with friends.

Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, EOS, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Tron, Stellar, Bitcoin SV, Cardano: Price Analysis, Jan. 30
Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, EOS, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Tron, Stellar, Bitcoin SV, Cardano: Price Analysis, Jan. 30
The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Cointelegraph.com. Every investment and trading move involves risk, you should conduct your own research when making a decision.
The market data is provided by the HitBTC exchange.
Crypto investors lost about $1.7 billion worth of cryptocurrencies to hackers in 2018. Though prices are down, it has not deterred the criminals. The volume of stolen coins in 2018 was 3.6 times larger than in 2017, according to the report from research company CipherTrace.
Hacks are a major problem in crypto that needs to be solved before the asset class can be seen positively by the regulators and adopted by the mainstream economy.
However, the entry of investment firm Fidelity into the cryptocurrency custody space instills confidence. According to sources cited by Bloomberg, its custody services are likely to be offered starting in March. Initially, the services will be open only to select institutional clients, but the firm plans to expand operations to a larger audience in the future.
The Middle East seems to be warming up to cryptocurrencies. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have officially announced the joint development of an interbank digital currency called âAber.â At first, it will be used only by a limited number of banks.
While the fundamental factors continue to improve, the crypto prices are not showing any signs of a recovery. Letâs look at the critical levels to watch out for.
BTC/USD
Bitcoin (BTC) is trying to turn around from $3,355. The bulls are attempting to defend the support at $3,236.09. They will encounter resistance at the 20-day EMA and above that at the 50-day SMA. Upon crossing the moving averages, the next resistance will be at the downtrend line, and above it at $4,255.
Conversely, if the price turns down from either one of the overhead resistances, the BTC/USD pair will again drop to the support at $3,236.09. A break of this level will resume the downtrend and trigger a number of stop losses on the long positions that can result in a quick drop to $3,000, and below that to $2,600.
At present, both moving averages are sloping down, and the RSI is in the negative zone. This suggests that the bears have the upper hand. Therefore, we shall wait for the price to sustain above the downtrend line before turning positive.
XRP/USD
Ripple (XRP) has bounced sharply from the critical support of $0.27795, which shows buying at lower levels. It has broken out of the downtrend line and is currently at the 20-day EMA.
If the bulls push the price above the 20-day EMA, the XRP/USD pair can rally to the 50-day SMA. The zone between the 20-day EMA and the 50-day SMA might act as a stiff resistance. A breakout above this resistance zone will be a positive sign.
Therefore, we suggest long positions on a close (UTC time frame) above the 50-day SMA with the stop below $0.275. The first target objective is $0.38239, above which the upward move can stretch to $0.4.
Our bullish view will be negated if the price turns down from the 20-day EMA and plunges below $0.27795.
ETH/USD
Ethereum (ETH) bounced back from $103, close to its first support at $100. It will now pull back to $116.3, where it might face resistance.
If the ETH/USD pair turns down from $116.3, it can again fall to $100, and below that to $83. The 20-day EMA is trending down and the RSI in the negative territory which suggests that supply exceeds demand.
If the bulls scale above $116.3, the digital currency will again face selling close to the moving averages. It will turn positive if the price rises above $134.5. We might suggest long positions if the price sustains above the moving averages.
EOS/USD
EOS has held the support at $2.1733 for the past two days. The bulls are currently attempting to push the price back into the overhead range.
If they succeed, the EOS/USD pair will move up to $2.5, where it might face resistance from the moving averages. A break out of $2.6 will increase the chances of a rally to $3.05 and above that to $3.2081.
Conversely, if the price reverses direction from the current level and plummets below $2.1733, it can correct to $1.7746, and below that to $1.55. We shall wait for the digital currency to scale above the moving averages before suggesting a trade.
BCH/USD
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is finding some buying close to $105. It can now move up to $121.3, which will act as a roadblock.
The downsloping 20-day EMA will also attract sellers. If the bulls scale above this resistance, the BCH/USD pair can move up to $141.
But if the price turns down from $121, a drop to $100, and below that to $73.5 will be possible. We shall turn positive if we see evidence of strong buying.
LTC/USD
Litecoin (LTC) continues to trade in the tight range of $29.349â$33. The bulls have defended the support of the range for the past two days.
We now expect the bulls to push the price to the top of the range at $33. A break out of this resistance will be a positive move that can carry the LTC/USD pair to $36.428, and above it to $40.784.
On the other hand, if the bulls fail to break out of the overhead resistance at $33, the virtual currency will extend its stay in the range. The trend will turn negative on a breakdown of the support zone at $29.349 and $27.701. Therefore, we suggest the traders hold their long positions with the stop loss at $27.5.
TRX/USD
While other major cryptocurrencies are struggling to hold up, Tron (TRX) is showing strength. It held the support at the 20-day EMA for the past two days and is now attempting to break out of the overhead resistance at $0.02815521 once again.
If the bulls sustain above $0.02815521, the TRX/USD pair will move up to $0.03128011, and above that to $0.03575668. Above this level, the cryptocurrency will attempt to hit its pattern target of $0.038.
Our bullish view will be invalidated if the price fails to sustain above $0.02815521. A break below the 20-day EMA can plunge the digital currency to $0.02306493, below which a slide to $0.02113440 will be probable. We suggest traders continue to hold their long positions with the stops at $0.023.
XLM/USD
Stellar (XLM) has continued to make new yearly lows. Usually, after a breakdown from a critical level, a throwback rally to retest the level is likely to follow. Hence, a move to $0.09285498 cannot be ruled out.
If the XLM/USD pair breaks out and sustains above $0.09285498, the bulls will attempt to scale above the downtrend line, which can result in a trend change.
However, if the price turns down from the breakdown level of $0.09285498, the cryptocurrency can slump to $0.07864971, and further to $0.05795397. We shall watch for a trend reversal before turning positive on the pair.
BSV/USD
The bulls have been trying to hold the support at $65.031 for the past two days. If successful, Bitcoin SV (BSV) will attempt to rally to $80.352.
However, with both moving averages sloping down and the RSI in the negative territory, the path of least resistance is to the downside.
The BSV/USD pair can sink to $57, and below that to $38.528 if the price closes (UTC time frame) below $62. We shall wait for the trend to change from down to up before proposing any trades.
ADA/USD
Although Cardano (ADA) broke below the support line of the ascending channel on Jan. 29, the bulls are trying to defend the next support at $0.036815.
If the price bounces from the current level, it can move up to the 20-day EMA, which will act as a resistance. The ADA/USD pair will show strength if it sustains above the uptrend line, which will now act as a hurdle.
However, if the price drops below $0.036815, a fall to the yearly low of $0.027237 is probable. The bearish crossover of the moving averages and the RSI in the negative zone indicate that the sellers have the upper hand. We couldnât find any buy setups at the current levels, so we are not suggesting any long positions yet.

Crypto investors lost about $1.7 billion worth of cryptocurrencies to hackers in 2018. Though prices are down, it has not deterred the criminals. The volume of stolen coins in 2018 was 3.6 times larger than in 2017, according to the report from research company CipherTrace.
Hacks are a major problem in crypto that needs to be solved before the asset class can be seen positively by the regulators and adopted by the mainstream economy.
However, the entry of investment firm Fidelity into the cryptocurrency custody space instills confidence. According to sources cited by Bloomberg, its custody services are likely to be offered starting in March. Initially, the services will be open only to select institutional clients, but the firm plans to expand operations to a larger audience in the future.
The Middle East seems to be warming up to cryptocurrencies. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have officially announced the joint development of an interbank digital currency called âAber.â At first, it will be used only by a limited number of banks.
While the fundamental factors continue to improve, the crypto prices are not showing any signs of a recovery. Letâs look at the critical levels to watch out for.
BTC/USD
Bitcoin (BTC) is trying to turn around from $3,355. The bulls are attempting to defend the support at $3,236.09. They will encounter resistance at the 20-day EMA and above that at the 50-day SMA. Upon crossing the moving averages, the next resistance will be at the downtrend line, and above it at $4,255.
Conversely, if the price turns down from either one of the overhead resistances, the BTC/USD pair will again drop to the support at $3,236.09. A break of this level will resume the downtrend and trigger a number of stop losses on the long positions that can result in a quick drop to $3,000, and below that to $2,600.
At present, both moving averages are sloping down, and the RSI is in the negative zone. This suggests that the bears have the upper hand. Therefore, we shall wait for the price to sustain above the downtrend line before turning positive.
XRP/USD
Ripple (XRP) has bounced sharply from the critical support of $0.27795, which shows buying at lower levels. It has broken out of the downtrend line and is currently at the 20-day EMA.
If the bulls push the price above the 20-day EMA, the XRP/USD pair can rally to the 50-day SMA. The zone between the 20-day EMA and the 50-day SMA might act as a stiff resistance. A breakout above this resistance zone will be a positive sign.
Therefore, we suggest long positions on a close (UTC time frame) above the 50-day SMA with the stop below $0.275. The first target objective is $0.38239, above which the upward move can stretch to $0.4.
Our bullish view will be negated if the price turns down from the 20-day EMA and plunges below $0.27795.
ETH/USD
Ethereum (ETH) bounced back from $103, close to its first support at $100. It will now pull back to $116.3, where it might face resistance.
If the ETH/USD pair turns down from $116.3, it can again fall to $100, and below that to $83. The 20-day EMA is trending down and the RSI in the negative territory which suggests that supply exceeds demand.
If the bulls scale above $116.3, the digital currency will again face selling close to the moving averages. It will turn positive if the price rises above $134.5. We might suggest long positions if the price sustains above the moving averages.
EOS/USD
EOS has held the support at $2.1733 for the past two days. The bulls are currently attempting to push the price back into the overhead range.
If they succeed, the EOS/USD pair will move up to $2.5, where it might face resistance from the moving averages. A break out of $2.6 will increase the chances of a rally to $3.05 and above that to $3.2081.
Conversely, if the price reverses direction from the current level and plummets below $2.1733, it can correct to $1.7746, and below that to $1.55. We shall wait for the digital currency to scale above the moving averages before suggesting a trade.
BCH/USD
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is finding some buying close to $105. It can now move up to $121.3, which will act as a roadblock.
The downsloping 20-day EMA will also attract sellers. If the bulls scale above this resistance, the BCH/USD pair can move up to $141.
But if the price turns down from $121, a drop to $100, and below that to $73.5 will be possible. We shall turn positive if we see evidence of strong buying.
LTC/USD
Litecoin (LTC) continues to trade in the tight range of $29.349â$33. The bulls have defended the support of the range for the past two days.
We now expect the bulls to push the price to the top of the range at $33. A break out of this resistance will be a positive move that can carry the LTC/USD pair to $36.428, and above it to $40.784.
On the other hand, if the bulls fail to break out of the overhead resistance at $33, the virtual currency will extend its stay in the range. The trend will turn negative on a breakdown of the support zone at $29.349 and $27.701. Therefore, we suggest the traders hold their long positions with the stop loss at $27.5.
TRX/USD
While other major cryptocurrencies are struggling to hold up, Tron (TRX) is showing strength. It held the support at the 20-day EMA for the past two days and is now attempting to break out of the overhead resistance at $0.02815521 once again.
If the bulls sustain above $0.02815521, the TRX/USD pair will move up to $0.03128011, and above that to $0.03575668. Above this level, the cryptocurrency will attempt to hit its pattern target of $0.038.
Our bullish view will be invalidated if the price fails to sustain above $0.02815521. A break below the 20-day EMA can plunge the digital currency to $0.02306493, below which a slide to $0.02113440 will be probable. We suggest traders continue to hold their long positions with the stops at $0.023.
XLM/USD
Stellar (XLM) has continued to make new yearly lows. Usually, after a breakdown from a critical level, a throwback rally to retest the level is likely to follow. Hence, a move to $0.09285498 cannot be ruled out.
If the XLM/USD pair breaks out and sustains above $0.09285498, the bulls will attempt to scale above the downtrend line, which can result in a trend change.
However, if the price turns down from the breakdown level of $0.09285498, the cryptocurrency can slump to $0.07864971, and further to $0.05795397. We shall watch for a trend reversal before turning positive on the pair.
BSV/USD
The bulls have been trying to hold the support at $65.031 for the past two days. If successful, Bitcoin SV (BSV) will attempt to rally to $80.352.
However, with both moving averages sloping down and the RSI in the negative territory, the path of least resistance is to the downside.
The BSV/USD pair can sink to $57, and below that to $38.528 if the price closes (UTC time frame) below $62. We shall wait for the trend to change from down to up before proposing any trades.
ADA/USD
Although Cardano (ADA) broke below the support line of the ascending channel on Jan. 29, the bulls are trying to defend the next support at $0.036815.
If the price bounces from the current level, it can move up to the 20-day EMA, which will act as a resistance. The ADA/USD pair will show strength if it sustains above the uptrend line, which will now act as a hurdle.
However, if the price drops below $0.036815, a fall to the yearly low of $0.027237 is probable. The bearish crossover of the moving averages and the RSI in the negative zone indicate that the sellers have the upper hand. We couldnât find any buy setups at the current levels, so we are not suggesting any long positions yet.

Upon crossing the moving averages, the next resistance will be at the downtrend line, and above it at $4,255.
Conversely, if the price turns down from either one of the overhead resistances, the BTC/USD pair will again drop to the support at $3,236.09. A break of this level will resume the downtrend and trigger a number of stop losses on the long positions that can result in a quick drop to $3,000, and below that to $2,600.
At present, both moving averages are sloping down, and the RSI is in the negative zone. This suggests that the bears have the upper hand. Therefore, we shall wait for the price to sustain above the downtrend line before turning positive.
XRP/USD
Ripple (XRP) has bounced sharply from the critical support of $0.27795, which shows buying at lower levels. It has broken out of the downtrend line and is currently at the 20-day EMA.
If the bulls push the price above the 20-day EMA, the XRP/USD pair can rally to the 50-day SMA. The zone between the 20-day EMA and the 50-day SMA might act as a stiff resistance. A breakout above this resistance zone will be a positive sign.
Therefore, we suggest long positions on a close (UTC time frame) above the 50-day SMA with the stop below $0.275. The first target objective is $0.38239, above which the upward move can stretch to $0.4.
Our bullish view will be negated if the price turns down from the 20-day EMA and plunges below $0.27795.
ETH/USD
Ethereum (ETH) bounced back from $103, close to its first support at $100. It will now pull back to $116.3, where it might face resistance.
If the ETH/USD pair turns down from $116.3, it can again fall to $100, and below that to $83. The 20-day EMA is trending down and the RSI in the negative territory which suggests that supply exceeds demand.
If the bulls scale above $116.3, the digital currency will again face selling close to the moving averages. It will turn positive if the price rises above $134.5. We might suggest long positions if the price sustains above the moving averages.
EOS/USD
EOS has held the support at $2.1733 for the past two days. The bulls are currently attempting to push the price back into the overhead range.
If they succeed, the EOS/USD pair will move up to $2.5, where it might face resistance from the moving averages. A break out of $2.6 will increase the chances of a rally to $3.05 and above that to $3.2081.
Conversely, if the price reverses direction from the current level and plummets below $2.1733, it can correct to $1.7746, and below that to $1.55. We shall wait for the digital currency to scale above the moving averages before suggesting a trade.
BCH/USD
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is finding some buying close to $105. It can now move up to $121.3, which will act as a roadblock.
The downsloping 20-day EMA will also attract sellers. If the bulls scale above this resistance, the BCH/USD pair can move up to $141.
But if the price turns down from $121, a drop to $100, and below that to $73.5 will be possible. We shall turn positive if we see evidence of strong buying.
LTC/USD
Litecoin (LTC) continues to trade in the tight range of $29.349â$33. The bulls have defended the support of the range for the past two days.
We now expect the bulls to push the price to the top of the range at $33. A break out of this resistance will be a positive move that can carry the LTC/USD pair to $36.428, and above it to $40.784.
On the other hand, if the bulls fail to break out of the overhead resistance at $33, the virtual currency will extend its stay in the range. The trend will turn negative on a breakdown of the support zone at $29.349 and $27.701. Therefore, we suggest the traders hold their long positions with the stop loss at $27.5.
TRX/USD
While other major cryptocurrencies are struggling to hold up, Tron (TRX) is showing strength. It held the support at the 20-day EMA for the past two days and is now attempting to break out of the overhead resistance at $0.02815521 once again.
If the bulls sustain above $0.02815521, the TRX/USD pair will move up to $0.03128011, and above that to $0.03575668. Above this level, the cryptocurrency will attempt to hit its pattern target of $0.038.
Our bullish view will be invalidated if the price fails to sustain above $0.02815521. A break below the 20-day EMA can plunge the digital currency to $0.02306493, below which a slide to $0.02113440 will be probable. We suggest traders continue to hold their long positions with the stops at $0.023.
XLM/USD
Stellar (XLM) has continued to make new yearly lows. Usually, after a breakdown from a critical level, a throwback rally to retest the level is likely to follow. Hence, a move to $0.09285498 cannot be ruled out.
If the XLM/USD pair breaks out and sustains above $0.09285498, the bulls will attempt to scale above the downtrend line, which can result in a trend change.
However, if the price turns down from the breakdown level of $0.09285498, the cryptocurrency can slump to $0.07864971, and further to $0.05795397. We shall watch for a trend reversal before turning positive on the pair.
BSV/USD
The bulls have been trying to hold the support at $65.031 for the past two days. If successful, Bitcoin SV (BSV) will attempt to rally to $80.352.
However, with both moving averages sloping down and the RSI in the negative territory, the path of least resistance is to the downside.
The BSV/USD pair can sink to $57, and below that to $38.528 if the price closes (UTC time frame) below $62. We shall wait for the trend to change from down to up before proposing any trades.
ADA/USD
Although Cardano (ADA) broke below the support line of the ascending channel on Jan. 29, the bulls are trying to defend the next support at $0.036815.
If the price bounces from the current level, it can move up to the 20-day EMA, which will act as a resistance. The ADA/USD pair will show strength if it sustains above the uptrend line, which will now act as a hurdle.
However, if the price drops below $0.036815, a fall to the yearly low of $0.027237 is probable. The bearish crossover of the moving averages and the RSI in the negative zone indicate that the sellers have the upper hand. We couldnât find any buy setups at the current levels, so we are not suggesting any long positions yet.

Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, EOS, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Tron, Stellar, Bitcoin SV, Cardano: Price Analysis, Jan. 30
The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Cointelegraph.com. Every investment and trading move involves risk, you should conduct your own research when making a decision.
The market data is provided by the HitBTC exchange.
Crypto investors lost about $1.7 billion worth of cryptocurrencies to hackers in 2018. Though prices are down, it has not deterred the criminals. The volume of stolen coins in 2018 was 3.6 times larger than in 2017, according to the report from research company CipherTrace.
Hacks are a major problem in crypto that needs to be solved before the asset class can be seen positively by the regulators and adopted by the mainstream economy.
However, the entry of investment firm Fidelity into the cryptocurrency custody space instills confidence. According to sources cited by Bloomberg, its custody services are likely to be offered starting in March. Initially, the services will be open only to select institutional clients, but the firm plans to expand operations to a larger audience in the future.
The Middle East seems to be warming up to cryptocurrencies. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have officially announced the joint development of an interbank digital currency called âAber.â At first, it will be used only by a limited number of banks.
While the fundamental factors continue to improve, the crypto prices are not showing any signs of a recovery. Letâs look at the critical levels to watch out for.
BTC/USD
Bitcoin (BTC) is trying to turn around from $3,355. The bulls are attempting to defend the support at $3,236.09. They will encounter resistance at the 20-day EMA and above that at the 50-day SMA. Upon crossing the moving averages, the next resistance will be at the downtrend line, and above it at $4,255.
Conversely, if the price turns down from either one of the overhead resistances, the BTC/USD pair will again drop to the support at $3,236.09. A break of this level will resume the downtrend and trigger a number of stop losses on the long positions that can result in a quick drop to $3,000, and below that to $2,600.
At present, both moving averages are sloping down, and the RSI is in the negative zone. This suggests that the bears have the upper hand. Therefore, we shall wait for the price to sustain above the downtrend line before turning positive.
XRP/USD
Ripple (XRP) has bounced sharply from the critical support of $0.27795, which shows buying at lower levels. It has broken out of the downtrend line and is currently at the 20-day EMA.
If the bulls push the price above the 20-day EMA, the XRP/USD pair can rally to the 50-day SMA. The zone between the 20-day EMA and the 50-day SMA might act as a stiff resistance. A breakout above this resistance zone will be a positive sign.
Therefore, we suggest long positions on a close (UTC time frame) above the 50-day SMA with the stop below $0.275. The first target objective is $0.38239, above which the upward move can stretch to $0.4.
Our bullish view will be negated if the price turns down from the 20-day EMA and plunges below $0.27795.
ETH/USD
Ethereum (ETH) bounced back from $103, close to its first support at $100. It will now pull back to $116.3, where it might face resistance.
If the ETH/USD pair turns down from $116.3, it can again fall to $100, and below that to $83. The 20-day EMA is trending down and the RSI in the negative territory which suggests that supply exceeds demand.
If the bulls scale above $116.3, the digital currency will again face selling close to the moving averages. It will turn positive if the price rises above $134.5. We might suggest long positions if the price sustains above the moving averages.
EOS/USD
EOS has held the support at $2.1733 for the past two days. The bulls are currently attempting to push the price back into the overhead range.
If they succeed, the EOS/USD pair will move up to $2.5, where it might face resistance from the moving averages. A break out of $2.6 will increase the chances of a rally to $3.05 and above that to $3.2081.
Conversely, if the price reverses direction from the current level and plummets below $2.1733, it can correct to $1.7746, and below that to $1.55. We shall wait for the digital currency to scale above the moving averages before suggesting a trade.
BCH/USD
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is finding some buying close to $105. It can now move up to $121.3, which will act as a roadblock.
The downsloping 20-day EMA will also attract sellers. If the bulls scale above this resistance, the BCH/USD pair can move up to $141.
But if the price turns down from $121, a drop to $100, and below that to $73.5 will be possible. We shall turn positive if we see evidence of strong buying.
LTC/USD
Litecoin (LTC) continues to trade in the tight range of $29.349â$33. The bulls have defended the support of the range for the past two days.
We now expect the bulls to push the price to the top of the range at $33. A break out of this resistance will be a positive move that can carry the LTC/USD pair to $36.428, and above it to $40.784.
On the other hand, if the bulls fail to break out of the overhead resistance at $33, the virtual currency will extend its stay in the range. The trend will turn negative on a breakdown of the support zone at $29.349 and $27.701. Therefore, we suggest the traders hold their long positions with the stop loss at $27.5.
TRX/USD
While other major cryptocurrencies are struggling to hold up, Tron (TRX) is showing strength. It held the support at the 20-day EMA for the past two days and is now attempting to break out of the overhead resistance at $0.02815521 once again.
If the bulls sustain above $0.02815521, the TRX/USD pair will move up to $0.03128011, and above that to $0.03575668. Above this level, the cryptocurrency will attempt to hit its pattern target of $0.038.
Our bullish view will be invalidated if the price fails to sustain above $0.02815521. A break below the 20-day EMA can plunge the digital currency to $0.02306493, below which a slide to $0.02113440 will be probable. We suggest traders continue to hold their long positions with the stops at $0.023.
XLM/USD
Stellar (XLM) has continued to make new yearly lows. Usually, after a breakdown from a critical level, a throwback rally to retest the level is likely to follow. Hence, a move to $0.09285498 cannot be ruled out.
If the XLM/USD pair breaks out and sustains above $0.09285498, the bulls will attempt to scale above the downtrend line, which can result in a trend change.
However, if the price turns down from the breakdown level of $0.09285498, the cryptocurrency can slump to $0.07864971, and further to $0.05795397. We shall watch for a trend reversal before turning positive on the pair.
BSV/USD
The bulls have been trying to hold the support at $65.031 for the past two days. If successful, Bitcoin SV (BSV) will attempt to rally to $80.352.
However, with both moving averages sloping down and the RSI in the negative territory, the path of least resistance is to the downside.
The BSV/USD pair can sink to $57, and below that to $38.528 if the price closes (UTC time frame) below $62. We shall wait for the trend to change from down to up before proposing any trades.
ADA/USD
Although Cardano (ADA) broke below the support line of the ascending channel on Jan. 29, the bulls are trying to defend the next support at $0.036815.
If the price bounces from the current level, it can move up to the 20-day EMA, which will act as a resistance. The ADA/USD pair will show strength if it sustains above the uptrend line, which will now act as a hurdle.

Throwback Thursday: The Canon PowerShot G3
Old and new: The Canon PowerShot G3 and the PowerShot G1 X Mark II.
It's hard to believe that the Canon G-series is almost 17 years old, and while technology has certainly marched forward, 'G cameras' have consistently been a favorite of enthusiasts and even pros. (OK, there was that whole kerfuffle when the G7 dropped Raw support, but Canon saw the error of its ways and corrected course with the G9.)
However, through all the years, there's one model in particular that always stands out in my memory: the PowerShot G3. In part, this is surely due to the fact that it's one of the cameras that helped me make the transition to digital, but I don't think I'm alone in this. The G3 was released right around the time that a lot of photographers were making the same transition, and the camera offered a fast lens and all the manual controls you could want. Its 'rangefinder' look undoubtedly appealed to aesthetic tastes as well.

It's predecessor, the PowerShot G2, was already a popular camera, but the G3 improved on it in a number of important ways.
Most notably, the G3 featured a 35-140mm equivalent F2.0-3.0 lens that maintained a relatively fast aperture throughout the range (which wasn't quite as fast as the G2's 34-102mm F2.0-2.5 lens, but it provided a lot more reach). Although it had a tendency to exhibit some purple fringing in high contrast scenes, it never stuck out as a terrible problem to me. To make good use of the lens, Canon added FlexiZone autofocus and the ability to manually select from over 300 focus areas around the screen

It was also one of the first (if not the first) compact camera to get an internal neutral density filter, a feature that continues on G-series cameras â and many other compacts â to this day. It made the camera usable at wide apertures even in bright sunlight, and allowed for long exposures to create motion blur, such as with moving water.
Of course, the thing most people cared about was image quality, and the G3 didn't disappoint. In Phil's original review, he praised the G3, saying 'The Super-Fine JPEG option delivers almost TIFF-like image quality with no JPEG artifacts or loss of detail.'

What appealed to me were the G3's Raw files. Although it had the same 4MP resolution as the G2, the G3 could capture 12-bit Raw files, compared to the G2's 10-bit files. Whether this actually made a real world difference in images from those older, smaller sensors, I don't know. But it sounded good. (Fun fact: back when the G3 came out, DPReview even made sure to tell readers how many Raw images would fit on a 1GB Microdrive. The answer is 272, if you're curious.)
One feature that hasn't carried through to modern day 'G cameras' is the optical viewfinder. The G3 had an 'optical tunnel' viewfinder with about 84% coverage, and beginning at moderately wide angles the lens blocked the lower left corner of the image. But it was an actual viewfinder, making it easier to take pictures in bright places, like on top of a glacier. With practice I became very adept at using it.

As I look back at the G3 now, I realize that it was a camera designed to appeal to SLR users who wanted to go digital, but who weren't ready to break the bank on an EOS D60. Other than interchangeable lenses, it had all the features you could want: Raw images, viewfinder, top plate LCD, PASM modes, E-TTL hot shoe, command dial on the grip, manual focus point selection, and even the ability to use filters with a bayonet adapter. And it also looked a little more like a traditional camera than the more curvy G2.
Between its relatively compact size, large feature set, and excellent Raw files, the G3 was a camera I could carry along on adventures, confident that I would be able to get the shots I wanted. And it did just that, accompanying me to the tops of mountains, through national parks, and to a few foreign countries. Just playing around with it while writing this article makes me want to go use it again.
Ah, nostalgia...
