I don't have an answer immediately here (My best friend is into Warhammer, though, so I could ask), but my Skyline did something amazing.

My home online was the GameFAQs Message Boards for this sort of stuff. The Anime and Manga Boards (Toonami and Other Anime) + the various game/hobby boards (pro wrestling) basically fueled my first online friendships. Used to write some FAQs as a hobby as well + hosted weekly wrestling threads.

Me after the 459867595th attempt:

I see the name "Sesame Cake", and I only have one thought.

Yeah Brooklyn can be great for that. : )

This was in my own neighborhood. A long mural of wall art just a few blocks down where I love.

Earl Grey. Hot. @diyfgc.bsky.social

I have a take/theory about the state of DOA6LR that I shared on Discord with a few friends. I'll attach it as an image here, but I think it gets to the crux of the issue here. tl;dr- They saw what VF5US did but failed to get why it worked out for Sega.

Got two. Hope to see them both again at some point!

Here's a schedule for you guys as well as well as what streams to catch! If it's hard to read, check the Alt Text.

Master Zhuge would never.

The announcement was made official, so I can promote it here! I will be doing live commentary for Tekken 8 for @diyfgc.bsky.social this Saturday! This'll be my first big event, so I'm excited and looking forward to being there. Six years in the making, and I feel like I've finally arrived. : )

My Skyline worked some magic here.

Saw some discussion about early picks for MOTY, and I don't think we're going to get a single match as masterfully done as this one sorry to say. Okada/Tanahashi delivered a feat that directly spat in the face of Father Time himself and gave, IMO, their greatest bout ever for Tanahashi's retirement.

Made a brief thread on the other site about why #PlayVF bugs me, especially in how players use it to badger other people (notably content creators) when their games have a bad patch, and then abandon them if they say "No". Let people express interest at their pace.

Finally...

Using this for a tech show-off from some drills and a recording awhile ago: Goh has a 2-frame window to actually deflect an opponent's throw with a single input instead of 3-way guessing a throw escape. This puts Goh into his Tsukami clinch, forcing a 3-way guess of his own. #VF5REVO

The core memory that this unlocked.

Jiao lamenting the Turbans losing their way was a great set-up for the story in the DLC. Working with Jiao to bring everything back in-line is amazing, and the story's messaging is the strongest of the four by far. If I had to order them: Jiao>Shao=Zhuo>>Lu Bu

Zhang Jiao's story is the one the game has you start with and, IMO, remained a highlight throughout. Jiao realizing how the Yellow Turbans have gone too far, rallying them back together, and being a net positive to the land is a great take of the story. Seeing glimpses of it in the base game helps.

There're some missed opportunities in Lu Bu's story, but it somewhat makes sense due to Lu Bu's own lack of ambition. It lends itself, therefore, to his story being very ordinary and unremarkable of the four. Kinda wish more was done with it, but any more would have to result in rewriting Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's story was perhaps the one that was the most "by-the-book", and the absence of Lu Lingqi + Diaochan disappearing early on kind of makes it go down an ordinary path of Lu Bu hunting for battles. Chen Gong guiding that to taking the Emperor is smart since Lu Bu didn't have ambition.
