Playtest for Valorant on console expected in early 2024!

In early 2022, Riot Games sought a senior console game designer, aiming to adapt Valorant for consoles. Leaks hinted at controller configurations for PlayStation, Xbox, and VR. Playtests for Valorant on consoles might occur in Q1 2024, two years post job posting. Excitement brews for the January 2024 mobile release, promising diverse gameplay and cross-platform features. However, concerns arise about adapting Valorant's fast-paced PC gameplay to controllers. The upcoming console release sparks debates on elements like aim assist, questioning the game's competitiveness. As Valorant expands its reach, the game evolves to offer a fresh experience.

TS3 - Scarlet Club (No CC)

ENG:

The Scarlet is an exclusive club that opens its doors only to the most powerful and wealthy creatures in town. Its relaxed and intimate atmosphere makes it the perfect place to build connections, forge new alliances, plot wicked schemes to eliminate your enemies, and celebrate with sophisticated cocktails when those plans succeed.

I built this club for a warlock in my supernatural gameplay, which is why there’s a small apartment and an office on the top floor. If none of your Sims are going to own this lot, I recommend locking both doors to prevent other Sims from interacting with objects in those rooms, like the computer or TV, so they’ll stay mostly on the other two floors.

Features:

Lot type: Community, exclusive lounge

Lot size: 40x40

Furnished lot value: 330.091 §

Unfurnished lot value: 152.220 §

Packs used in this build: EP01, EP02, EP03, EP05, EP06, EP07, EP09

Requirements:

Misukisu's exoticDancersStage Mod Updated by Arsil. It’s not strictly necessary, but I recommend it because it helps set the mood and is quite fun to use—though I should warn you that you’ll need to configure it manually. For those of you playing the game in Spanish, don’t forget that you can download the translation for this mod and many others for free on my Patreon.

SPA:

El Scarlet es un club de lo más exclusivo, cuyas puertas solo se abren a las criaturas más poderosas y ricas de la ciudad. Su relajado e íntimo ambiente resulta ideal para establecer vínculos, hacer nuevos aliados, tramar malvados planes para deshacerse de los enemigos y brindar con sofisticados cócteles cuando estes salen bien.

Construí este club para un brujo de mi partida sobrenatural; por ese motivo hay un pequeño apartamento y un despacho en la última planta. Si ninguno de vuestros Sims va a poseer este solar, os recomiendo que bloqueéis ambas puertas para que el resto de Sims no interactúen con los objetos de esas estancias, como el ordenador o la televisión, y así se mantengan mayormente en las otras dos plantas.

Características:

Tipo de solar: Comunitario, salón bar exclusivo

Tamaño del solar: 40x40

Valor del solar amueblado: 330.091 §

Valor del solar sin amueblar: 152.220 §

Packs utilizados en esta construcción: EP01, EP02, EP03, EP05, EP06, EP07, EP09

Requisitos:

Misukisu's exoticDancersStage Mod Updated de Arsil. No es estrictamente necesario, pero lo recomiendo porque ayuda a crear ambiente y es bastante divertido, aunque os advierto que tendréis que configurarlo manualmente.

Draw Your Blade! | Looking into the Valorous Sun Tournament Update for CROB!

It’s pretty cool that we get to have a story this time around when it comes to the GCL, I recall when it was just the new cookie and the league itself that was the main score, so it’s good to get something read for this GCL

Cream Soda is happy to see an old friend of hers, but it doesn’t seem like Cherry Cola Cookie shares the same sentiment, wonder what occurred between these two to get them like that?

And Cream Soda has a pretty nice looking epic skin to go along with her, Cherry Cola’s is no slouch either. Leek Cookie is also getting the Epic costume of this update too btw.

The urge to do Champion League is STRONG, she got the whole set of a costume, candy, AND a trial. Girl literally won this update!

This along with the Rock, Paper, Scissors event, and Tough Cookie matches among other improvements are also a great addition.

HANGING ON THE EDGE OF TOMORROW!

LIVE AND LEARN!

FROM THE WORKS OF YESTERDAY!

LIVE AND LEARN!

“Oh, are you training your sword fighting right now, Y/N Cookie?”

“Yeah, I want to make sure I’m all readied up before the grand tournament! I don’t want to be rusty and end up squandering it on the first match!”

“Well, if you need any help in the form of working on your stance or a sparring match, I’m happy to help!”

“Ah, w-well, Cream Soda Cookie. You see-“

Cherry Cola Cookie appears behind Y/N Cookie, surprising Cream Soda!

“That’s nice of you to offer, but they already have someone helping them train…”

“Cherry Cola Cookie! Well, it never hurts to have a third opinion, it helps with improvement better!”

“What part of “they already have a training partner” did you not understand?”

“I’m sorry, Cream Soda. Cherry Cola did ask first and I didn’t want to turn down a long time friend…”

“I’m your long time friend too! Let me help you with your training! I won’t lose to Cherry Cola Cookie!”

“Must you always make a sword fight out of everything? Very well, the winner gets to be Y/N Cookie’s training partner, but don’t expect me to lose.”

“I won’t either! Let’s do this!”

You sat out as you watched the two cookies sword fight, neither side refusing to let the other win. While you prefer that the two had got along and both could help you, you knew better then to interfere with the fierce passion of the two.

Riot Games are eliminating 530 roles - laying off 11% of Rioters globally.

They say they want to focus on their "core live games" - League of Legends, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, and Wild Rift. Development of R&D games such as Project L (the tag-team fighting game) will continue.

Legends of Runeterra will be significantly hit, because it "has faced financial challenges since launch, costing significantly more to develop and support than it generates".

Riot Forge will also be shutting down after the release of Bandle Tale as they "don’t view this as core to our strategy moving forward".

Weinersmith and Boulet’s “Bea Wolf”

On July 14, I'm giving the closing keynote for the fifteenth HACKERS ON PLANET EARTH, in QUEENS, NY. Happy Bastille Day! On July 20, I'm appearing in CHICAGO at Exile in Bookville.

Bea Wolf is Zach Weinersmith and Boulet's ferociously amazingly great illustrated kids' graphic novel adaptation of the Old English epic poem, which inspired Tolkien, who helped bring it to popularity after it had languished in obscurity for centuries:

https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250776297/beawolf

Boy is this a wildly improbable artifact. Weinersmith and Boulet set themselves the task of bringing Germanic heroic saga from more than a thousand years ago to modern children, while preserving the meter and the linguistic and literary tropes of the original. And they did it!

There are some changes, of course. Grendel – the boss monster that both Beowulf and Bea Wulf must defeat – is no longer obsessed with decapitating his foes and stealing their heads. In Bea Wulf, Grendel is a monstrously grown up and boring adult who watches cable news and flosses twice per day, and when he defeats the kids whose destruction he is bent upon, he does so by turning them into boring adults, too.

And Bea Wulf – and the kings that do battle with Grendel – are not interested in the gold and jewels that the kings of Beowulf hoard. In Bea Wulf, the treasure is toys, chocolate, soda, candy, food without fiber, television shows without redeeming educational content, water balloons, nerf swords and spears, and other stuff beloved of kids and hated by parents.

That substitution is key to transposing the thousand-year-old adult epic Beowulf for enjoyment by small children in the 21st century. After all, what makes Beowulf so epic is the sense that it is set in a time in which a primal valor still reigned, but it is narrated for an audience that has been tamed and domesticated. Beowulf makes you long for a never-was time of fierce and unwavering bravery. Bea Wulf beautifully conjures the years of early childhood when you and the kids in your group had your own little sealed-off world, which grownups could barely perceive and never understand.

Growing up, after all, is a process of repeating things that are brave the first time you do them, over and over again, until they become banal. That's what "coming of age" really boils down to: the slow and relentless transformation of the mythic, the epic, and the unknowable and unknown into the tame, the explained, the mastered. When you're just mastering balance and coordination, the playground climber is a challenge out of legend. A couple years later, it's just something you climb.

The correspondences between the leeching away of magic lamented in Beowulf and experienced by all of us as we grow out of childhood are obvious in hindsight and surprising and beautiful and bittersweet when you encounter them in Bea Wolf.

This effect owes a large debt to Boulet's stupendous artwork. Boulet brings a vibe rarely seen in American kids' illustration, owing quite a lot to France's bande dessinée tradition. Of course, this is a Firstsecond book, and they established themselves as an exciting and fresh kids' publisher in the USA nearly 20 years ago by bringing some of Europe's finest comics to an American audience for the first time. You can get a sense of Boulet's darker-than-average, unabashedly anarchic illustrations here:

https://www.comixtrip.fr/bibliotheque/bea-wolf-weinersmith-boulet-albin-michel/

The utter brilliance of Bea Wulf is as much due to the things it preserves from the original epic as it is to the updates and changes. Weinersmith has kept the Old English tradition of alliteration, right from the earliest passages, with celebrations of heroes like "Tanya, treat-taker, terror of Halloween, her costume-cache vast, sieging kin and neighbor, draining full candy-bins, fearing not the fate of her teeth. Ten thousand treats she took. That was a fine Tuesday."

Weinersmith also preserves the kennings – the elaborate figurative compound phrases that replace nouns – that turn ordinary names and places into epithets at you have to riddle out, like calling a river "the sliding sea."

These literary devices, rarely seen today, are extremely powerful, and they conjure up the force and mystique that has kept Beowulf in our current literary discourse for more than a millennium. They also make this a super fun book to read aloud.

When Jim Henson was first conceiving of Sesame Street, he made a point of designing it to have jokes and riffs that would appeal to adults, even if some of the nuance would be lost on kids. He did this because he wanted to make art that adults and kids could enjoy together, both because that would give adults a chance to help kids actively explore the ideas on-screen, but also because it would bring some magic into those adults' lives.

This is a very winning combination (not for nothing, it's also the original design brief for Disneyland). Weinersmith and Boulet have produced a first-rate work of adult and kid literature, both a perfect entree to Beowulf for anyone contemplating a dive into old English epic poetry, and a kids' book full of booger jokes and transgressive scenes of perfect mischief.

[241015] MY PRETTY BOY

[NEW MESSAGES FROM HIMARI]

[PM 11:22] You guys are jealous right, I get to see my boyfriend like this every morning and every night...he's so pretty 🩶

[PM 11:21] What are you talking about, Tiny, he proposed ? We've only been dating for two years and you're already speculating on our engagement ? ㅎㅎㅎ

[PM 11:21] Oooh the rings, I see🤭It's nothing like that, we even have matching silver chains...we do have our anniversary date engraved on the inside of them though

[PM 11:22] You're right he's barely grazing me in the photo, he doesn't like touching me there because of my surgery scar and he thinks it's still painful (even though it's on the other side and healed) 🥹 He's a little less hesitant than before though

[PM 11:22] It's strange to me when people say he's scary...he's the gentlest giant you'll ever meet, his body is huge but really clumsy so he's scared of hurting me

[PM 11:23] Yeah he's silly too ㅋㅋ He often forgets I'm almost half deaf, but he's been trying so hard to learn sign language, sometimes he refuses to talk so he can practice

[PM 11:24] I don't exactly NEED it, but in noisy environments or when I'm tired it tends to be more effective. That's how Hongjoong oppa was communicating with me during Fashion Week. He's actually the one who uses it most often

[PM 11:24] Mhm, all the members are learning but refused to tell me they were taking lessons for the longest time. Wooyoung oppa was the first one to show me and all of them are really good! They put so much effort into it so I was really touched

[PM 11:25] Hanzo nii-chan is fluent in Japanese sign language since our mother taught it to us when we were young, Geum Jae oppa knows the basics but he's trying hard, and Yoongi oppa is fluent in Korean sign language because he's been learning since after our hospital stay

[PM 11:25] Right now ? Mingi is playing LOL with Yunho oppa, Wooyoung oppa and Jongho oppa (Yeosang oppa, Sannie oppa and I claimed the couch so they're stuck sitting on the floor). I play too but not as much, I've been playing Valorant more lately

[PM 11:26] It's pretty embarrassing, but I used to main Yone because I found him hot (still do). Omg and Kayn! His design in the Paranoia music video was just ✨

[PM 11:27] I'm playing Animal Crossing with Seonghwa oppa right now, we're on the same island...he's making me fish, please send help

[PM 11:28] The food we ordered is here! I'll update you guys on how game night went later ♡ Love you so much, kisses!

Valorant leaks reveal stormy new finisher in the upcoming Kuronami skin bundle

The Kuronami skin features a unique floating animation, loading bullets without direct contact. It draws comparisons to the Reaver collection due to similar reload animations and cloud-like bullets.

A standout feature is the finishing animation where a bullet creates a cloud around enemies, followed by a thunderstorm. This cloud can be shot and burst, a first in Valorant.

The skin collection offers four color variants: White, Black, Purple, and Blue.

The melee skin, inspired by the "kusarigama," has a contactless equip animation and a spinning propeller inspect animation.

The Kuronami skin collection includes the Melee (Kuronami no Yaiba), Vandal, Sheriff, Spectre, and Marshal. An exclusive livestream event will showcase these skins on Valorant's Twitch channel hosted by Shannon Williams, the voice actor for Jett, on January 8, 2024, at 10 am PT / 7 pm CET / 11:30 pm IST. Patch 8.0, part of Episode 8 Act 1, will introduce this collection on January 9 or January 10, 2024, adjusted for regional release times.
