Here's Jamie “Muraena” Traverse and Corbin “Merlot” Michel. Both are characters I larped as in the Life Beyond universe. Corbin in Libe: Rajapinta (2021) and Jamie in Libe: Virheilmiö (2022). I've written that they meet up after the end of Virheilmiö, since they share couple contacts, are both in the Devon Academy and part of La Téne (a political separatist group).
They also share the same mishap of reding the Yellow Book. Jamie by choice and hunger for knowledge, Corbin by being placed as a human experiment by the academy.
They're now my babies and I'd do anything for them. I also have an upcoming Libe: Aamunkajo larp in two weeks, I've been assigned the role of a retired Finnish reverend who studies angels and the odd in a cult. Sounds promising.

Top 8 Best Play-to-Earn Web3 Games: June 2023 Edition
There currently is no shortage of ambitious play-to-earn Web3 games in the industry, with even massive AAA productions entering the market to compete. Every month, we handpick the best Web3 games that are poised to roll out bigger plans in the next few weeks. Everything will be presented to you here in a nutshell.
Please note. This article is updated monthly to properly reflect the latest trends and upcoming game events.
Top 10 web3 games to try this month
The play-and-earn gaming industry moves too fast. Don’t waste time on a game no one is playing anymore. Here’s a list of the best games you gotta try in the next month – in no particular order.
1. Ascenders Simulation
Ascenders is one of the most anticipated games of the year and the launch date for the browser game Ascenders Simulation is set for 8 June 2023. Players will soon get to make their first steps in the Ascenders universe. Secure a plot, collect resources and build your base.
Ascenders Simulation is just a first step into the game’s universe. Ascenders aims to have a fully decentralized and player-centric economy, where you may earn ACG tokens from playing, and craft or purchase in-game items as NFTs.
2. Illuvium: Zero
Speaking of promising alien-based adventures, let’s move on to Illuvium. This June, the sci-fi fantasy web3 games universe is finally taking Illuvium Zero to Alpha Season One. This simulation game allows you to create and manage your industrial complex in your own Illuvium Land and is already available on PC, Mac and Android mobile devices.
With this update, Alpha players will get to experience new gameplay as they discover blueprints that can be, after playing for some time and upgrading specific buildings, minted as in-game assets (skins) to use in all games of the Illuvium universe.
3. Champions Ascension
This month, Jam City’s Ethereum-based AAA fantasy game Champions Ascension is migrating to Polygon. As it’s currently in Pre-Alpha, this means gamers can already download and have a taste of the intense combat games in the ever-expanding open world.
The game first launched its NFT collection Prime Eternals, in-game fighters that players can own to play, in February 2022. Now, we’re closer than ever to a better user experience with Polygon’s speed and low transaction costs. So far, you can only play the game on Windows PC, but Champions Ascension will announce when Mac and other platforms are supported.
4. Life Beyond
Life Beyond is another shining star in bringing updates to their gameplay to the public. The MMORPG on Polygon is now allowing all agents on planet Dolos’s Hub to try out Solo Combat Trials. What are you waiting for to join and see your name on the leaderboard?
While the game has been in active development for almost a year, it has never lacked in bringing its community new updates to the gameplay and lore – or including test gamers in it. The sci-fi metaverse powered by Unreal Engine 5 and blockchain is correctly building its name through quality gameplay and community engagement and remains a top game to check out this month.
5. Planet Mojo’s Mojo Melee
The autochess battler game by Planet Mojo, Mojo Melee, is also worth your attention this June. At the end of May, it released a new roadmap for the upcoming summer months announcing new updates. Including the official launch of its Mojo Melee Season Zero.
For 30 days, players will get to try out the mobile version of Mojo Melee and the new Premium Battle Pass. The game is free-to-play and you can already play its browser version.
6. The Sandbox
The Sandbox is a popular Web3 metaverse where players can own virtual land plots as their own NFTs, and build experiences on them for people to enjoy. While it offers a variety of benefits to landowners, including access to special events and the ability to join a limited SAND staking pool, most players don’t even own land yet.
We enter the month with the Korean wave swapping the metaverse with the Hallyu Rising Raffle and LAND Sale. This is the second K-verse LAND Sale to come to The Sandbox, the first one in partnership with big Korean brands and helped the game increase prominence in the very relevant to the industry Asian audiences. As stated by the company, over 317 thousand people joined the game in the first K-verse event, with an average playtime per user of 1h33min. Want to see what this is all about? Go check out The Sandbox in June.
7. Cashbox
Step into the enchanting world of Cashbox, a blockchain-based gaming platform that seamlessly integrates ancient civilizations, legendary gemstone NFTs, and mythical creatures. Immerse yourself in NFT auctions, land trading, mythical creature nurturing, and prophecy card games. Acquire and trade diamond NFTs stored in intricately designed treasure boxes. Discover a metaverse-like virtual space, where you can explore, interact, and own virtual land. The transparent blockchain ensures the authenticity and ownership of your digital assets.
8. Blocklords
There are also some OG Web3 games you should always keep in mind, and such is the case with Blocklords. This month, the medieval strategy game continues developing with its Blocklords Community Beta, rewarding loyal early adopters with fun and games – literally.
This year, the game has moved on to integrate with Immutable X and has been hyped again with its in-game NFT collection Blocklords Banners. Definitely worth trying out if you’re into immersive, strategy multiplayer experiences.

I just find it really frustrating and exhausting how openly racist fandoms can be with little to no repercussions. Nonwhite characters are straight up ignored and have their stories/character arcs replanted onto white characters and no one bats an eye. Nonwhite characters (especially black ones) are held to incredibly high standards that white characters don't have to meet, and if they fail they're villified, if they pass they're labeled as boring.
white fans will reblog one post calling out fandom racism and then do 0 inward reflection about their own behavior and how they perpetuate racism in fandom.

i need to see who the director and animators and storyboard artists are for these episodes its absolutely insane. its seriously insane. everything has me speechless. if the narrative told you she only provided support and cover fire in himmel's party, the very party that slayed the demon king, you would never believe it.
literal chills the clone so coldly glared (keep in mind this is a clone, just a thing that's imitating memories and doesnt have a mind of its own. so the real deal's glare must be harsher) after it was backed into a corner by frieren and fern forcing it to use a spell where even fern couldnt sense any mana from that attack. its not even recognized as a spell. fern couldnt see what hit her when the clone was forced to use something so powerful enough to fern, frieren's apprentice thats been said by time and time again to be a monster of her own right against demons and even fellow mages.
the fight also near the end literally shows how capable frieren is even without her staff. just like when she was imprisoned, the demon that came in to dispose of her was literally nothing more than small fry. actually, that guy probably was even nothing to her. it took her absolute zero effort to kill draht so she's absolutely still capable of killing someone without a staff just like flamme.
from the literal black hole spell, a spell of hellfire where even being in contact in the same room with it would damage a normal human, a spell that seems more like terrifying version of zoltraak- which looks like plasma itself and strong enough to destroy frieren's barrier, to a spell that even shatters the fabric of reality, they really went all out for these fights since the manga was fairly fast paced when it comes to this part. but these displays were amazing in showcasing how terrifying frieren can be when backed into a corner.
