After almost 4 years, we finally got around to finish the Shores of Gold.
There couldn't have been a better way to return from the Shores than finally face the big white Meg!

A fix has been applied so that all pirates eligible for the Trickster's or Treater's Prize Hat (or both) for contributing to Community Goals will receive them when they next set sail. Anyone who contributed but is still missing their reward should contact our Player Support team.
Eric Bauza voiced so many iconic characters, and for those who didnโt know, he was the voice of the Toad General and even voiced Diddy Kong in the Mario movieโฆ..

Recreated #MyAvatar back from when I started the game in 2022 (after spending my money from the Maiden Voyage).

It might've taken 8 years, 7 months and 3 days, but your pirate can finally remember their favourite clothing combinations in Sea of Thieves. Hundreds of them. Enjoy!

As the final explosions of Season 21's Community Weekend ring out across the seas, we'd like to say thank you. Whether you were a trickster, a treater or someone who was simply sailing for rewards or time in friendly company, cheers to you, pirates! 'Til the next one.
#Morbito: Guardian of the Spirit is a fantasy anime with great action scenes, good character-driven moments and a strong-female lead. Reminded me a bit of Avatar. In hindsight it could have been shorter though.
#SatPMAnime
What if being a magical girl was not a blessing, but a curse?
#MadokaMagica examines that question by deconstructing the magical girl trope and with very well written characters. Plus, the art direction is incredible, especially the witch labyrinths.

#DateALive had a bit of a rough start with me as due to the plot I saw it as a Neon Genesis blueprint, but the angels are cute and the MC has to date them. Luckily the plot had a bit more to offer and especially the pure-hearted Tohka made me continue...
#SatPmAnime
#DateALive4 finally kicks things into motion concerning the villains. However, the problem of the harem becoming too big increases.
Mukuro kinda felt like canon filler, and while they do their best, the spirits don't have enough time to develop beyond their trope.
#DateABullet has beautifully animated fight scenes... but the story is a mess.
It seems to follow an original story based loosely on characters from the currently 8-part novel-spin-off, but they lack depth due to it being condensed into two "episodes".
Best watched after S4

#DateALive#MayuriJudgement is basically "one for the fans" as it basically found a way to include a story bit where Shidou has to date all the girls up to Season 2 again.
Nice if you want more material with your favourite waifu. Plot-wise you can skip it if you want. #SatPMAnime
Origami's plot finally reaches its climax and dares to be pretty, pretty.... dark.
We also learn more about Inverse spirits, which mix up the formula a little bit, but ultimately don't change too much

The second season finally gives Shidou some superpowers to become more active, but it also makes it apparent that the series has too many waifus. They do their best to keep the arcs interesting and characters relevant, but the approach still seems rather formulaic after a while...
As a video game enthusiast who also loves classic menโs formalwear, I canโt begin to tell you how happy it makes me to see Miyamoto rocking the exact same necktie for the past 30+ years.
"Looking back at past designs, there are some that were created merely by copying and pasting. Yet, such work rarely stands the test of time; it lacks the individual's particular design intention"
2/2 of legendary devs relating AI to following trends, which implies originality is the solution to AI
Nintendoโs Shigeru Miyamoto, the acclaimed designer behind Super Mario and Zelda, has explained why he believes generative AI wonโt make human creativity obsolete.
"There will always be a role left for us to play."

Previously I have posted about a Nintendo of Europe downloadable premium animated wallpaper that featured a bizarre Toad eating the wallpaper. The files have finally been datamined, allowing the Wallpaper-Eating Toad to be observed in never-before-seen maximum quality.
And that covers Season 21's trick and treat filled Community Weekend! We hope you enjoy your time on the seas, and that you don't encounter too many explosions. Or too few. For any more information you may need, just head here: www.seaofthieves.com/community-we...

"The Legendary Storyteller in Color" Sails (& Flag).
Doing this as a separate entry because I prefer the first which is closer to the original and sells the idea better, but I still wanted to try this idea too.

"The Legendary Storyteller" Sails.
Seven Sails from seven different variations of the Tall Tale, plus patterns and markings inspired by the style of the legendary Storyteller Tasha.
I also made it 9 candles for the anniversary.

#GunGaleOnline delivers what you expect from an #SwordArtOnline spin-off based on a shooter.
It also does some things better than the original (especially in not abusing fanservice). The anime has some pacing issues though.
Might rewatch to get into S2 some time.

Also a big thank you to @snugglebit.bsky.social for providing me the .psd Template for the Main image and @lord3d.bsky.social for giving me the idea of "Fearsome Pirate sails with sails drawn by a kid they love" by reminding me of Kuma's sails from One Piece.
The Tall Tale was a perfect fit!
