Paris 2024: A Sustainable Olympics with a Seine River Opening Ceremony
Tumblr media
Get ready for a splash of history! Paris is gearing up to host the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, aiming to be the greenest Games ever. Here's a look at what to expect: Photo: Félix Fayolle /Nantes Métropole Sustainability at the Forefront: - Organizers are prioritizing sustainability, aiming to halve the event's carbon footprint compared to previous Olympics. Renewable energy sources like geothermal and solar power will be used for the Athletes' Village. - Reuse and recycling are key: 95% of venues will be existing or temporary structures. Recycled materials are used for furniture and mattresses in the Athletes' Village, and the new Aquatics Centre is built with sustainable materials and solar power. - Food choices will be eco-friendly, with a focus on doubling plant-based options and reducing single-use plastic. Public transport will be prioritized, with expanded cycle lanes and more bikes available. Games Details and Unique Features: - The Olympics will run from July 26 to August 11, with over 10,500 athletes from 206 countries competing in 32 sports. The Paralympics follow from August 28 to September 8, featuring 4,400 athletes from 184 countries in 22 sports. - Breakdancing makes its debut as an Olympic sport, adding a fresh element to the competition. - The opening ceremony promises to be spectacular, with athletes parading down the Seine River on boats – a first for the Olympics.

Challenges and Considerations: - While aiming for sustainability, the Games aren't without challenges. Public opinion polls show concerns from some Parisians about rising transportation costs and security measures. The location of the Olympic Village in a less wealthy area also raises questions about gentrification.

Experience and share the epic: Samsung debuts the new Galaxy S23 series locally with an epic launch party
MANILA, Philippines – 14 February 2023 – Samsung’s Epic House unveiled the new Galaxy S23 series at The Fifth in Rockwell with a spectacular launch party, bringing to life the brand’s promise of  outstanding Nightography, the  pursuit of passion and the brand's continued commitment to sustainability in an immersive and interactive event.
Tumblr media
In a program hosted by content creator Nicole Andersson, Samsung shared a rundown of the S23 Series’ latest innovations, marking a new era of ultimate premium phone experiences - from truly cinematic Nightography videos with transformative AI, the “Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy” for powerful performance, an embedded S Pen that offers more possibilities for productivity, all housed within a striking design that advances the company’s sustainability commitment, this latest series from Samsung is truly set to redefine experiences and push one’s creativity to epic proportions.
Actress Liza Soberano, iconic photographer BJ Pascual, and famed artist Leeroy New then took guests on a tour of the Epic Rooms, experiential installations that brought to life exactly what makes the Samsung new Galaxy S23 series so exciting.
Tumblr media
Epic Nightography
As part of the evening’s interactive experiences, guests were able to witness the most advanced camera system in the Galaxy through the Epic Nightography room. The room features different stations where guests were invited to take photos, with stunning neon décor to accentuate the retro, nightlife aesthetic. Iconic photographer BJ Pascual led them throughout the room while sharing valuable tips on the art of photography and how Nightography is the perfect feature for his creative aesthetics.
The Epic Nightography room featured three stations: Night Selfie, Night Video, and Night Portrait. The Night Selfie station allows guests to take a selfie in the dark, surrounded by neon lights, as Nightography is also available in selfie mode. Night Video, on the other hand, allows guests to record themselves in the dark surrounded by reflective panels to boost the Galaxy S23’s ability to capture motion while light conditions are low. Finally, the Night Portrait room allows guests to take a portrait of themselves surrounded by colored lights to show the Galaxy S23’s enhanced Nightography feature in portrait mode.
Tumblr media
The Epic Nightography room highlighted the very best of Samsung Galaxy S23’s enhanced Nightography feature, which includes a new AI-powered image signal processing (ISP) algorithm that enhances object details and color tone under low-light conditions, which makes images at night crisper and more detailed compared to older Night Mode features in the Samsung line. One can also take pro-grade photos with The Expert RAW app, which is exclusive to Samsung Galaxy.
The series also has the most stable video capture yet with a doubled optical image stabilizer (OIS), so taking videos at night do not have to look blurry. The video quality has also improved with the new series, with enhanced 8K video at 30fps with a wider angle for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Tumblr media
Epic Passions
Guests were given the chance to be their most epic selves with the Epic Passions room, which features larger-than-life installation and three epic stations: Productivity, Gaming and Self Expression Zones.  Beloved actress Liza Soberano introduced the guests to the Epic Passions room, sharing how the Galaxy Series has helped her juggle her busy schedule, her secret love of gaming and how the Galaxy S23 series is perfect for mobile gamers like her.
The new Galaxy S23 series has also become the answer for the multi-passionate individual, as the it allows one to connect with other devices in the Samsung line creating an ecosystem where you could multitask with your different passions at the same time.
Tumblr media
The Samsung Multi Control feature connects the Samsung S23 to the Samsung PC and tablet with mouse and keyboard functionality. The embedded S-Pen on the Samsung S23 Ultra allows users to collaborate with other people in making projects through the co-editing feature in Google Meets live sharing, made possible by the collaboration of Samsung Notes and Google Meet. This makes the S23 series the most functionally flexible series yet.
In the Gaming station, guests were given the chance to use the Samsung Galaxy S23 series for mobile gaming, with a fun installation of their favorite video game characters. The station spotlights the Galaxy S23 series’ premium performance and improved battery life.
Tumblr media
Further pushing the envelope in gaming, the Galaxy S23 series provides the best mobile gaming experience yet. Samsung and Qualcomm have launched the new “Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy”, the most powerful and efficient processor ever in a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and the fastestSnapdragon available today, which allows for smooth gaming graphics and an overall enjoyable gaming experience. Meanwhile, on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, a 5000mAh battery13 powers a larger camera than Galaxy S22 Ultra without increasing the device’s size.
Rounding up the Epic Passions Room is the Self-Expression Zone-perfect for those who love to customize their phones. From aesthetic phone cases to the home screen, one can add favorite apps, widgets and folders to make one’s Galaxy S23 truly one’s own.
Tumblr media
Epic Sustainability
The Epic Sustainability room allowed guests to be introduced to the importance of sustainability and how the Galaxy S23 Series was designed with the planet in mind. An awe-inspiring Flotilla installation created by renowned sustainable artist, Leeroy New, was the room’s showpiece, made with recycled materials and other sustainable products.
Himself an environmental advocate, New was among the first to make a promise at the Pledge Wall, a digital display where guests can use the S-Pen to write pledges on the wall in real time. Asking everyone “What can you do for the planet?”, the display served as an invitation for guests to make their own commitments for sustainability.
The Galaxy S23 series is Samsung’s most sustainable line of mobile devices yet from Samsung, made from pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass and post-consumer recycled plastics sourced from discarded fishing nets, PET bottles and water barrels. It is also the first S series to market their screens made of Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus 2, the most durable glass yet made with 22% pre-consumed recycled material.

NFS Unbound - The best racing game in January 2023
Neon clouds of spray paint and comic book-inspired graffiti greet you at the start, along with thundering Drum n' Bass beats and a high-speed flashy release that sets the tone for Need for Speed Unbound. The campaign game begins with a fascinatingly detailed character designer, and it is followed by a fairly meaty introduction that introduces the game's main heroes and lays the foundation for the tense campaign's plot.
Tumblr media
Story The story mode of NFS Unbound is the game's core, a nearly unbearably boring story of vengeance, betrayal, and retribution set in the city's lucrative, ego-driven world of nightclubs and dangerous folk. The character of the player's choice embarks on the most hilariously predictable and shockingly cliche narrative imaginable – one that will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with famous thespian Vin Diesel's cutscene oeuvre. As you progress in the game, game profits (whether collected on the roads or at the bookies) can be used on a massive collection of vehicles and improvements, along with the user gunning through a strict accreditation routine and obtaining the machinery appropriate to qualify for the city's top street circuits. As Lakeshore becomes more accessible to the public, a variety of side goals and work-for-hire opportunities are available, ranging from acquiring hot-wheels (not necessarily those dildos) away from the city and under the watchful eye of the feds to developing into the highest-rated Uber driver in the annals. These quests all offer specific rewards, including unlocking new safehouses and the opportunity to access more cars and upgrades.
Tumblr media
Gameplay The overall experience of playing the game here is superb. "Unbound" is by far my favorite experience playing the NFS recreation since I tried "Undercover" in senior high. The racing is firm, close-quartered, and disorganized. Operating low-speed routes, water tunnels, and high-speed interstates is akin to chopping up asphalt. Handling the cars is an enjoyable process of learning (like with cars). It is possible to ensure the auto handles better or make adjustments for drifting in specific situations without additionally acquiring improvements or segments. For a car enthusiast, this component is beneficial to enjoy. not closed into one system because you're not able to afford sections. Yes, those sections would assist, but it's not the end of the game. BuyGames sell cheap PS5 sports games.
Tumblr media
Graphics The video game has chosen to go for one-of-a-kind graphics this time around, setting it apart from the majority of racing video games available. Regardless if it is simulation-heavy games like Assetto Corsa, Project CARS, or maybe the considerably more arcade-inspired DIRT and Forza Horizon 5, there is nothing more on the market that looks like Need for Speed Unbound, and that mainly comes down to the game title's manner of mixing photo-realistic vehicles and environments with anime-type effects and characters. Regarding some other aspects of cartoony visuals, like the character designs, they're all competently accomplished and never seem to conflict with the style of the game. The fantastic color palette is also helpful in adding a lot of personality to what could otherwise generally be named floating above various vehicles when people compete. On the topic of the overall game's photo-realistic elements, there's not much to say. The game appears to be stunning; in addition, the PS5 adaptation can keep a steady 60 FPS frame rate when playing the game in 4K.
Tumblr media
Map You'll also find plenty of treasures you can discover on the map, as well as billboards to smash to the tune of Burnout Paradise, so there are lots to keep you entertained within Lakeshore City. I did not invest as much time in the online mode while I had the single-player mode, but it's similar to the single-player mode and has you driving within the game map trying to find events and meetups. It's nothing spectacular, and if you've completed the main campaign, it's just that with your friends. Hurry up, cheap PS4 racing games are on the market.
Tumblr media
Controllers Despite this, the physics foundation feels fine-tuned without being overly realistic. Unbound's unique take on turbo physics shows it ended up getting a great feature. Alongside the standard boost meter slowly filling up as competitors play chicken with other traffic, take flight through the air, or draft behind opponents, a trisection secondary boost meter will fill up in a different way depending on how fast enthusiasts combine these various moves and will begin decreasing as soon as the mix is over. It is a one-level boost meter that may not be much different from the usual turbo capabilities; however, pulling off the right combo long enough to reach the next or third stage can have a significant impact on the position you are in during the race. This might seem confusing to need to balance two meters at a time and also race at incredibly fast speeds, but pulling off a Level Two boost after stopping in a long trudge around a turn or a Level Three boost after effectively jumping a great height will be incredibly satisfying and add a layer of depth to the enjoyable and refined driving physics.
Conclusion The PlayStation 5 version is visually very good and delivers a charming 60-frame rate throughout the city. The vibrant visual effects and animated characters make this an extremely unique racer, though all sorts of things could have gone further. The game is more secure in its basic aspects and has an open world with the usual velocity videocams, drift zones, and even inflatable bears that you can find and operate down, but the individuality is still evident with details like graffiti creativity that you can spot around the city and include in your car's design studio.

Commemorating the Release of ‘Eclipse’, the 2nd Cour Opening Theme of ‘King’s Raid: Successors of the Will’! Interview With Popular K-Pop Group Dreamcatcher & Unreleased Photos!
The K-pop girl group Dreamcatcher who sang ‘Eclipse’, the 2nd cour opening theme of the anime ‘King’s Raid: Successors of the Will’ appears on Akiba Souken!
Dreamcatcher is a 7-member K-pop girl group that is garnering world-wide attention with rock sounds and powerful performances both rare in Korea. After making their Korean debut in January 2017, they made their Japanese debut in November 2018. As they continue to be active world-wide, they are set to release their 4th Japanese single CD, ‘Eclipse’, on March 24th, 2021.
The song is currently being used as the opening theme of the anime ‘King’s Raid: Successors of the Will’, the 2nd cour of which is currently being aired.
We hope you look forward to the Akiba Souken exclusive photos as well as the interview!
– Since this is your first appearance on Akia Souken, the anime and hobby information site, could you please introduce yourselves?
JU: Chu~ Dream of me. I am the charisma bunny leader of Dreamcatcher, JiU. (Laughs)
SA: Chu~ Dream of me. I am Dreamcatcher’s Sua~.
SY: Hello, I am Dreamcatcher’s main vocal, Siyeon.
HD: Hello, I am Dreamcatcher’s Handong.
YH: Hello, I am Dreamcatcher’s Yoohyeon!
DM: Hello, I am Dreamcatcher’s Dami.
GH: Hello, I am Dreamcatcher’s lovely fox! Gahyeon!
– Did you play King’s Raid or watch the anime? First off, tell us about the fun elements of King’s Raid or your thoughts on it.
GH: First off, the graphics really popped and looked so pretty. Good, good! I really liked it. I think anyone should be able to find a character they like.
YH: I liked the story and the look of the characters depicted in ‘King’s Raid’, too, so I had fun with the game! Say what you will, but a game needs to entertain your eyes to be fun, right?
JU: The in-game actions felt spectacular, so I had fun looking at it. And, you could really feel the emotions between the characters, so I really felt drawn in.
DM: For the action, you could set it on ‘auto mode’ and use the ‘speed-up’ feature, so you can skip the boring bits. Also, you can position your characters in action scenes, equip better items or gems, and in general, play according to your own strategy, which was fun.
SY: The ‘probability’ (the actions most likely to be taken) between the characters and their relationships make the game feel unique compared to other games.
HD: I don’t play games much, but ‘King’s Raid’ was fun. The art was pretty, and I began to realize what fun you can have with games playing ‘King’s Raid’.
SA: I also don’t play games much, but with the pretty character art and the diverse cast of characters, I think King’s Raid is a game that anyone could enjoy.
– You recently sang the 2nd cour opening theme of the anime, King’s Raid: Successors of the Will. How did you feel when you first heard about it?
SA: I thought, ‘King’s Raid had it all planned out’! I really liked the details of the anime and felt interested, so I feel proud to have sung the opening theme of the show.
JU: We had success with  the song ‘Deja Vu’, our first collaboration we did with the game  back in 2019, so I hoped we could work together again. Plus, we had hoped to sing an anime opening theme since our debut, so getting through another good ‘first’ with them is an honor. I’m happy!
YH: It’s such an honor!! I feel so grateful that they trusted us with the song. We worked hard to meet those expectations.
DM: Them giving us an opportunity again made me feel surprised and grateful.
SY: We could contribute to such a fantastic piece of media, so I feel thankful to the VESPA staff!
GH: As expected of King’s Raid! (Laughs) I’m really glad that we got to work together again. We got a good response last time, so I hope we can get good synergy this time too.
HD: First off, I felt honored. I’m happy that King’s Raid got an anime adaptation (Laughs) and that we got to sing its opening theme. I’d be glad if we get another chance to collaborate like we did last time with Deja Vu!
– What is your new song ‘Eclipse’ like?
JU: It is a song memorable for the rock sounds that fit the dynamic nature of ‘King’s Raid’, and the sentimental yet energetic lyrics that convey the emotions that pass between the characters.
DM: It’s a song that is a message filled with one’s heart, addressed to someone who cannot be reached.
– Tell us a memorable story from the recording sessions.
SA: The song itself has a certain power that draws out your emotions, so I was excited all throughout the recording. I remember that I got through the recording with a sort of sprinting feeling.
JU: Ever since our collaboration with Deja Vu, I was struck by the relationship between Kasel and Frey. In the lyrics of ‘Eclipse’ I felt the sad pain as well as the iron will in those characters, so I felt more deeply immersed. Also, I was worried about my Japanese pronunciations, but the director told me that my pronunciation was great, so that felt good. (Laugh)
YH: After getting the lyrics, I worked hard on singing my parts so that the emotions would fit the background and the energy of the song.
DM: It was more difficult for me because I had to sing as well as rap.
SY: I had to make the emotions hit right from the beginning of the song, so I put a lot of effort into making my voice as fine as possible. I also felt that my pronunciation was getting better and better. (Laugh)
GH: True. We recorded the 1st verse first and recorded the 2nd verse later, and I felt a new charm from the 2nd verse, different from the 1st one.
HD: At first, we got the lyrics with the pronunciation written in Hangul. But for me, Chinese is easier to read. So one by one, I rewrote the lyrics in Pinyin and practiced that way. (Handong is from China)
– Tell us the points of note within the song.
SA: It’s a sentimental yet powerful song. Please try to feel it to its fullest when you listen to it.
JU: The sad sentimentality of the beginning part….. But then after that, rock sounds that match the energetic action scenes kick in! I think that gap is a point to be noted.
YH: I felt that King’s Raid and the song go so amazingly well together! If you watch the anime as well as listen to the song, I think you’ll be able to be more deeply immersed emotionally into the show!
DM: If you watch the anime as well as listen to the song, the two will have better synergy, I think.
SY: The well-structured lyrics that depict the world of King’s Raid so well!
GH: As it is an opening theme, I think it’s better if you listen to the song while watching the anime.
HD: I felt that it was a good song ever since we first listened to it. It’s a song that’s overflowing with energy, and captures the elements of the anime very well.
– What would the on-stage performance be like?
SA: If I were to put it in terms of art, it will be done very prettily. In the chorus, if we acted like we were fighting to protect something, working in vain but still with conviction, I think that would look fantastic.
JU: It would be like a ‘Deja Vu 2’ that continues from Deja Vu, I think. I just imagined us doing it, and I feel it’d look great.
YH: It would feel like a mad dash. Dreamcatcher’s choreographies are often demanding physically, but if this one was to be choreographed, I think it’d be within our top 5 demanding choreos!
DM: I want it to be a performance that depicts the emotions while still feeling energetic.
SY: I think it’d be like our previous collaboration, Deja Vu. If you’re curious, please look it up!
GH: A slightly sad charisma…
HD: Maybe a very sweaty one?
– With your hard rock sounds, Dreamcatcher is continuing down a path that stands out among K-Pop groups. What do you yourselves think about the charm of your team’s sound?
SA: It helps draw out the coolness that was hidden inside me, I feel.
JU: I think the fact that our music can be enjoyed both by rock fans and K-Pop fans is a big charm. And, every single one of our songs are good!
YH: First off, I think Dreamcatcher’s music is easy to get lost in. It has marked fantasy elements, and I think that the expressiveness of each member helps define Dreamcatcher’s own genre.
DM: It being so ‘Dreamcatcher’ is its charm, I think. We’re always working so that we can bring new elements to the table while keeping true to our rock basis.
SY: The roughness of it, I think…? I am proud of the fact that Dreamcatcher’s music is firmly Dreamcatcher, even within the rock genre.
GH: As you mentioned, there aren’t many groups that go with rock sounds, so I think that newness is a charm of ours.
HD: The fact that we are gorgeous!
– Is there a Japanese anime song you like?
SA: ‘One Summer’s Day’ from ‘Spirited Away’! Please give it a listen, everyone!
JU: I like ‘Unchanging Things (Kawaranai Mono)’ from ‘The Girl who Leapt Through Time’. Maybe it’s because I’ve listened to and sung it often since childhood, but it’s a song that I feel a special attachment to.
YH: I watch a lot of movies, and my favorite is ‘It’s Nothing (Nandemonaiya)’, the opening theme of ‘Your Name.’!
DM: Mine are ‘Previous Previous Previous Life’, ‘It’s Nothing’, and ‘Sparkle’ from ‘Your Name.’
SY: Mine is all of SPYAIR’s Gintama songs!
GH: …… Our recent ‘Eclipse’! (Laughs)
HD: Mine is Dreamcatcher’s ‘Eclipse’ too!
– Is there something that you are mindful about when singing in Japanese?
SA: I’m careful to make my pronunciations as natural as possible. Whatever the words may be, I think equally about the lyrics, the tone of my voice, and the techniques I use.
JU: Not really. Really, no. If there is one, maybe it’s to make it sound natural when I sing.
YH: It’s my pronunciation. My ‘T’ sounds tend to be really strong, so I have to pronounce the 'D' sounds of Japanese really lightly! It’s so difficult. (Tears)
DM: It’s the pronunciation, but I also practice to keep true to the ‘feeling’ of the song.
SY: Whatever song I sing, I focus on the emotions of the song. But when I sing songs in Japanese, I can’t help but be conscious of the pronunciation. I hope that when Japanese people listen to our songs, it doesn’t sound unnatural.
GH: If the pronunciation is bad, the song loses a lot of emotional power, so I’m mindful of my pronunciation.
HD: The pronunciation is always the first thing I’m conscious of.
– Finally, do you have a message for anime fans of Japan?
SA: We Dreamcatcher will continue bringing lots of cool charm to you, so please look forward to it and cheer for us!
JU: Watching anime is a learning experience, and it is a video medium that conveys a lot of emotions. I hope you experience a lot watching ‘King’s Raid’, and have fun watching it. Give Dreamcatcher’s ‘Eclipse’ lots of love too.
YH: Not just to our ‘Eclipse’, but give lots of love to anime too. Also, there are lots of Dreamcatcher songs that you’ll enjoy, so please give them a listen!
DM: There probably are lots of people who don’t know who we are, but I hope that this song will be an opportunity for people to become interested in us, saying “so, there is a group that sings this kind of song well too”.
SY: The 2nd cour of ‘King’s Raid’ is great and fun so give it lots of love. I’d also be glad if you gave Dreamcatcher’s ‘Eclipse’ lots of love, too.
GH: Our fans in Japan, we Dreamcatcher sang an anime opening theme for the first time!! How do you like it? Isn’t it great?! (Laughs) Give it lots of love. Listen to our other songs lots too!! Also, give lots of love to the ‘King’s Raid’ anime, too!!
HD: Please give lots of love to ‘King’s Raid’ and to us Dreamcatcher!

The Lucky Australian
~~ 19 Alive ~~
I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with light
I wore envy and I hated that
But I survived
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived
 They remained under the air con waiting for he heat to pass, Aurora turning on her playstation to game with Henry. Henry noticed she much preferred survivalist horror, he watched her play a bit of dying light before Henry took over.
“It would make a great TV show” Aurora remarked, watching Henry try and escape a group of volatiles during a night mission, he had to admit, his heart rate and adrenalin were up, his hairs were standing to attention all over his body, it was unsettling and scary, but so addictive.
“I have to say, I didn’t really get too much time to get into it, but this is incredible, it’s not easy”
Aurora snorted. “That’s coz I play on nightmare mode”
Henry stole a glance at her.
“That’s hardcore”
Aurora beamed at him.
After a while, Henry noticed Aurora had fallen asleep next to him, her hands curled up underneath her face. Something caught his attention, pausing the game he looked at her arms.
There were white scars littered on them, some thin, some large. They were precise. Henry knew what they were.
He put the controller on the coffee table and hung his head. He felt so drawn out, so ripped from his skin, so weary down to his bones, so sad. All this he felt for her.
How unfair could life be to a person that only seemed to be a light in the darkness, how was she supposed to endure so much death and heartache and still consistently wake up in the fucking morning?
Henry felt the wetness of tears on his face. The burden of life seems so heavy for some, so light for others.
The never ending, continuous stream of emotion, was the pain his heart was feeling for her, as if it could simply reach out to her and out her all back together. For everything she endured, she was stronger than anyone he knew, but life shouldn’t have to throw that shit at you to make you strong. It shouldn’t have you drag you to a place where the demons go to build character. It shouldn’t have happened like that for her.
So why did it?
He cried for her. Her pain, her heartache, for everything she had been through. He cried because in the short time he knew her, he knew she deserved so much more than what life had given her. Yet, she was still here, she was still alive, still breathing, still waking in the morning next to him. Aurora had issues with her existence, she had not been fond of life, but henry was glad she was a living being.
Henry felt pickles nudge her furry little face under his hands. She looked up at him with her endless brown eyes. He smiled down sadly at her and gave her a scratch behind the ears.
“Its been a big day fluffy butt!” Slowly, he raised himself up off the couch and walked to the bathroom. Washing his face, he looked at his reflection in the mirror.
The women he had dated had been easier, this was all new territory, but somehow, he wasn’t shying away from her, from this. Henry knew he loved her, he knew she was all he needed and wanted. Still it didn’t take the sting out of the day.
He walked back into the lounge room to find Aurora waking up. She looked at the spot where Henry had been, confusion plastered on her still sleepy features. Hearing his footsteps she peered up at him and smiled. Holding out her arms, Henry all but ran into them.
He held her for a few minutes before she parted from him.
“Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I’m ok, it’s just an intense game. Went to wash my face”
Aurora stared at him, she knew he was lying but she didn’t push it.
“Well, since its 3pm, most of the out of towners would’ve gone home by now, wanna go for a swim? Then we can get a drink at the beach bar? Maybe dinner out?”
“That’s sounds nice. Although you have promised to make me some Italian food!”
Aurora rolled her eyes, a smirk on her face.
“I did, so let’s go to the beach, then I’ll make dinner!” she bounded off the lounge, going to the bedroom, Henry following her.
~~~~~~~~
October rolled into November, with December fast approaching. Henry had spent the whole month getting to know the area Aurora lived in, while she was at work. She had taken him hiking in the Blue Mountains many times, he was still amazed at the travel Australians undertook all the time. A 4-hour round-trip barely tiring her out as well as hiking, meanwhile Henry would be wiped out from the whole day. His favourite days though, were the ones he got to spend at the beach, or even just wandering around the place she lived, day drinking at a few different pubs, watching the ships roll in past the horizon. Or simply enjoying wherever she took him for lunch and dinner. He particularly enjoyed the day she took him to Sydney to Bennelong. Aurora had waxed lyrical about how amazing it was, and it did not disappoint. He had to admit; he was very rarely surprised by anything, now he understood why she had told him to dress up, the restaurant was in the Sydney opera house, with a view looking out at the harbour bridge. It was fucking spectacular. Henry had tried to pay once he figured out it was a fine dining establishment. Aurora has shut that idea down quite fast, given he had taken her out in Venice; this was the least she could do. It was quite sweet. They spent the night in Sydney, Henry had stayed at a few hotels in his travels, but Aurora had pulled out all the stops when he entered the room. The room overlooked the entire Sydney Harbour. It stopped him in his tracks, rendering him breathless. Henry spent that night making sure Aurora knew how much he loved her.
~~~~~~~~
Henry found himself sitting in Aurora’s office, answering mundane emails and going over scripts he had been sent, he could hear Aurora in the other room singing along to crowded house, a new favourite of his she had introduced him too. There was so much he had learnt about Aurora, her favourite band, her favourite games, her favourite sports teams (of which he now followed by default and she had promised to take him to a game come the start of the season), pet hates, favourite ice cream. He came to really love Australia; it was going to be hard to leave. Everything he loved was here.
Suddenly, a video call came through. Noticing it was Charlie, he picked up.
“Are we getting you back to the northern hemisphere?” Charlie asked.
“Fuck no, not when you look as cold as you do! Canada in the minus yet?”
“Unfortunately. More snow too, so how is the land down under?”
“Fucking glorious, it’s so hot, but I love it! Air conditioning is the most amazing thing ever invented.”
Charlie rolled his eyes “you make it sound like it’s the worlds greatest invention you’ve never heard of. You have that in England, and in Florida. You know the other place you also live?”
“It’s not as good in England. I know, but here it’s just on all the time. I really love it here; I’m only a 5minute walk to the beach. We sat a pub the other day watching ships come in, that has to be my new favourite hobby” Henry smiled
“Wow, and here I thought it was hammertime”
“War hammer Charlie!”
“Same, same. Since I haven’t spoken to you much in a month, did you end up finding out what happened with Aurora’s last relationship? I know you were worried.”
“Charlie, hold on.” Henry got up to close the door. He sat back down and told Charlie everything that had happened.
 Henry lost track of the time he and Charlie had been talking. It was nice to be able to talk to one of his brothers. He hadn’t realised how heavy things had weighed on his heart, Charlie listening to him lessened the burden. Another call came in, from his manager.
“Charlie, I gotta go, Dany is calling”
“As long as you’re ok?”
“I am Charlie, I do really love her.” He watched Charlie smile. Saying their goodbyes, he answered Dany.
“Henry, I have an invitation to the Oscars, can you be stateside in Feb?”
“Sure. Add a plus one for me?”
Dany perked up at that
“So its serious with the girlfriend? I have to say; I’ve only seen a few photos of you in Europe with her, and one of you in Sydney. I didn’t know she was Australian. How have you stayed away from the paps for so long?”
“She lives near the beach, it’s a beautiful little place, nice area, I don’t think they give a shit really, plus its almost 2 hours from Sydney, no paps will travel that far.”
Dany nodded.
“Is she prepared for what’s about to happen?”
“She’s already explained things to me for when that does happen, which I need to talk to you about next time I see you. I will do my best to help her through everything, she might not even agree to the Oscars” Henry sat back and folded his arms.
“Why? Would she be uncomfortable? Does she not have a dress?”
Henry’s eyes snapped to her closet.
“I think she has a dress, ill get back to you.”
“Alright, speak soon”
Henry hung up the call, and stood up, rolling his shoulders and stretching out his body, he walked out of the room.

It’s time for a brand new talentswap for this Tuesday! She may not like her title, but here she is: this is Myth, the Former Ultimate Clairvoyant!
——————————————————-
BACKSTORY
Myth was, for some reason, born with future-predicting powers, with the first incident being when she was 5, and watching a sports team with her family. Her elder sisters jokingly asked her who would win, and Myth confidently spouted out her choice, which turned out later to be right, much to the shock of Myth’s family. Thinking it was just a fluke, Myth’s parents asked her for the lottery numbers, which turned out to also be correct. And with the eventual discovery of her psychic powers, came loads and loads of popularity at her school. Unfortunately, this popularity was shallow at best, with most people interacting with her purely to get a taste of her psychic powers. This led to Myth becoming an antisocial loner, who shows a great dislike of her powers and eventual Ultimate, wanting to be known for her artistic merits and become the Ultimate Watercolor Artist or Ultimate Novelist. The only reason she even became a chaperone for the Kibo-Con trip is her secret soft spot for children. 
——————————————————-
RELATIONSHIPS
Wyre Anon, Former Ultimate Affluent Progeny
Despite being rough, tough and informal in a majority of situations, Wyre is infamous for their business acumen and being the prime candidate amongst their family to succeed their oil magnate parents, who are the head of the PALEO oil company. Myth and Wyre both met in school, trying to flee from their respective fanclubs and eventually bonded over their shared trust issues regarding friends due to their shared status of being different. Wyre regularly scares off people who wish to use Myth, and Myth is forever thankful for that. If only Wyre could stop teasing Myth about her secret soft spots, that Myth is still in denial having.
Outfit: A simple tan and white suit, neatly combed hair and unbroken glasses.
Anon Scar, Ultimate Swimmer
Known worldwide for her fast speeds in the water, Scar is also known for her odd behavior when in interviews, often referring to herself as “Charybdis Incarnate”, and claiming that one day, she will reclaim her undersea throne and rule the bottom of the ocean once again. When Myth first saw Scar spouting nonsense about how the two have similar magical auras, she wanted nothing to do with the chuuni-swimmer. But when Scar realized that Myth has a very negative opinion of her own magic powers, Scar tries to dial back the facade. From there, Myth learned that Scar is almost like a mom, when she drops the “Charybdis Incarnate” act.
Outfit: Hair in a ponytail, a long black-to-purple sundress, a blue shawl wrapped around her shoulders, tan sandals. Fusion Anon, Ultimate Martial Artist
As the eldest child of two martial arts masters, it would only make sense that Fusion would want to continue their legacy, for he won competition after competition with his disciplined attitude and physical strength. Despite his threatening height and talent, which unnerved the otherwise ice-cold Myth, Fusion is actually really friendly and cheerful, and happy to educate others on different modes of martial arts. Because of Fusion’s martial arts seminars, Myth now has a new way to vent her sorrows. Fusion doesn’t like Myth’s negative view of her talent, and threatens to physically fight her, if she keeps talking bad about herself.
Outfit: A red Nippon Ichi headband, an open blue hoodie with nothing underneath and the sleeves ripped off, showing off his muscular build, red fingerless gloves, black pants, white socks, and brown sandals.
Fusion Anon II, Ultimate Soldier
Having been born in a wartorn territory, Fusion II was basically groomed to be the perfect child soldier, and help secure wins for her country. A past like that would change anybody for the worse, and Fusion II attempts to combat her trauma with sarcasm and jokes. Myth and Fusion II quickly bonded over their similar personalities and hatred for their talents, and just love to snark at people in the background. But as they learn more and more about each other, they soon became each other’s shoulders to cry on, as they vent to each other about their less-than-stellar backgrounds, and secretly confide in each other’s secret soft spots.
Outfit: Black sunglasses that hide her eyes, a grey bullet-proof vest over a blue long-sleeved shirt, a long blue skirt that hides her weapons, dark grey combat boots.
Just Anon, Ultimate Fashionista
Having strict parents who groomed him to be a perfect little doll who would make their family look good, Janon wants nothing to do with the constant photo ops, constricting outfits, and people who want to date him purely for his looks, and adopted a cynical and foul-mouthed personality to drive others away. Just like with Fusion II, Myth bonded very easily with Janon, thanks to their similar temperaments and backstories leading to said temperaments. But they also know about each other’s secret soft spot for kids, and they’ve taken it upon themselves to adopt the Jr. Ultimates, and care for and protect them.
Outfit: Literally what he wears under his bunny hoodie.
Sparkle Anon, Former Ultimate Novelist
Famous for writing only the greatest bestsellers in the romantic drama genre, such as “Senryuu of the Stars” and “Spectacular Supernova”, Sparkle’s novels are loved by practically all demographics, but they are especially loved by a certain tsundere clairvoyant. Myth regularly tries to deny being a massive fan around her idol, but Sparkle saw right through her, and gave her a sparkly autograph, causing Myth’s happiness to skyrocket, not that she would ever show it, for she has a reputation to keep up. Myth certainly didn’t expect her hero in writing to be so dramatic and eccentric, but she isn’t complaining for once. 
Outfit: Same outfit from the original but with her hairbun being held in place by a feather quill, and a sweater vest replacing her hoodie. Anon Egg, Former Ultimate Fanfiction Author, and Wet Sock Anon, Former Ultimate Moral Compass
Always the more diligent and obedient twin compared to Egg, who indulges themselves in anime, manga, and video games, Wet Sock joined the public morals commitee at their school and helped decrease the number of delinquents at their school into the single digits, thanks to their expertice in intimidation, thanks to being skilled at being cursed. Egg got their claim to fame by writing only the most cursed crack fics that they can, that no reader can deny are very well-written, despite being so cursed. Myth’s mind told her  to prepare herself for a stay with double the curses, and now, Myth knows exactly what her mind means. 
Outfits: Matching black gakurans, with Egg’s being sloppier than Wet Sock’s.
Curious Anon, Jr. Ultimate Detective
Ever since Curious was little, they have always been asked by their classmates to solve mysteries all around their school, and by the time they reached their middle school years, they had a fully-fledged and self-run detective agency which boasts a 99% success rate. When Myth first met Curious, she was half fawning over Curious, and half expecting Curious to pull a Darla Dimple and exploit her clairvoyance. But luckily for Myth, Curious turned out to be one of the most obedient and polite children that she ever met, which only served to endear Myth even more. And that’s not even getting into the bonding over people taking advantage of them.
Outfit: Same outfit from the original, but with a Sherlock Holmes-esque hat and cape.
Anon Nerd, Former Ultimate Baseball Player
Commonly regarded as both the all star and the powerhouse of his team, Nerd is an expert at both throwing the ball and catching the ball. Nerd‘s natural strength, as well as his violent and fiery attitude makes him the perfect athlete. Too bad “teamwork” and “accidents happen” just aren’t words in his vocabulary, for he wishes to carry the team all by himself and burns up anybody who costs him a win. Both the clairvoyant and the baseball player have harrowingly massive crushes on each other, but they are both way too emotionally constipated and tsundere to admit their feelings, much to the dismay of everybody else. 
Eldritch Anon, Ultimate Lucky Student
The lucky winner of Hope’s Peak lottery system, Eldritch is perhaps the most unlucky person in the world, despite what his talent would suggest. Disastrous and highly improbable events always happen to him, which gave him a paranoid and pessimistic view of the world. He fears approaching others, for the terrible luck he has might rub off on them. Myth feels a certain kinship with Eldritch, for they both have oddly supernatural talents that cause them pain and strife, despite Eldritch being too scared to interact with her. Myth kind of views Eldritch like the Jr. Ultimates, thanks to his childish build, and yearns to dots on him.
Outfit: A green hoodie patterned with clovers, black and white shorts, white socks, red and black sneakers, bandages and stitches all over his body.
Dream Anon, Ultimate Programmer
Despite what her hyperactive and childish nature would suggest, Dream is an expert at a more sedentary and intellectual pastime: computer programming. She is currently working to program technology that could help with development of prothetic limbs and artificial organs. One of the few times that Myth actually likes her future sight is when it warns her that Dream and Iris are off making their usual trouble, to which she hires the Brain Cells to save them. While Myth regularly gets irked at Dream’s energetic and childish nature, her soft spot for children just takes over, and she just can’t say mad at Dream forever.
Outfit: Pixellated pink hairpins, pink cat hoodie with grey stripes on the sleeves, grey shorts, tall white socks and pink slippers.
Iris Anon, Jr. Ultimate Biker Gang Leader
Dedicated to spreading happiness all over the world, The Smile Spreaders is a large benevolent biker gang, led by none other than the clumsy and cheery Iris Anon, and believe the members when they say that Iris is great at her job, for she knows just what to say to motivate her group, and she helps formulate all of the smile-spreading plans. Upon hearing about Myth’s talent, Myth was bombarded by praise from Iris, who finds her talent awesome, much to Myth’s confusion and irritation. Iris tried to indoctrinate Myth into her group, but Myth turns down every time. Myth uses her clairvoyance to prevent Iris and her cronies from hurting themselves though.
Outfit: Messier braids and black makeup, a black leather jacket with a smiley face on the back over a white turtleneck, spiked wristbands, a ripped-up black skirt, tall black boots with white and spiked soles.
Purple Anon, Ultimate Idol
As the lead vocalist of the gothic idol group, Ultraviolet, Purple is famed for her soft yet impactful voice. But it seems that Purple’s personality does a complete 180 when off of the stage, becoming very timid and skittish, hiding behind anything bigger than her (usually Fusion, her recently-employed bodyguard). Myth loves listening to Ultraviolet’s music, but was surprised to find out that this timid and skittish little girl is Ultraviolet’s vocalist. Probably not helping interactions between Myth and Purple, isthe fact that Purple’s vocabulary consists primarily of very old-fashioned and archaic terms, requiring Fusion to translate for her.
Outfit: A black bow in her hair, a black and purple dress, black gloves and stockings, light purple heels.  This series would center on a cynical and icy clairvoyant getting the true friends and actual love that she deserves.
——————————————————-
PERSONALITY
Clairvoyant!Myth is a perpentually grouchy and stone-cold girl. Clairvoyant!Myth has a very low opinion of her talent, viewing it as supernatural nonsense, and wants to be known for her other merits. Because people were constantly taking advantage of her clairvoyancy, Myth’s soft and friendly heart hardened and froze over, and now shuts herself out, in fear people would try to use her again. So she is basically an emo tsundere, with a secret soft spot for both children and people who see her as something apart from a psychic genius. Myth’s clairvoyance also makes her aware of her friends are in danger, giving her something of a mom sense.
——————————————————-
APPEARANCE
Clairvoyant!Myth has her hair dyed a variety of colors, and on her head, Clairvoyant!Myth wears a grey beanie, that conceals a long and squiggly ahoge. Clairvoyant!Myth also wears a green parka over a galaxy themed dress and grey boots on her feet.

CBC THE ROYAL FASCINATOR
Tumblr media
Friday, November 20, 2020
Hello, royal watchers and all those intrigued by what’s going on inside the House of Windsor. This is your biweekly dose of royal news and analysis. Reading this online? Sign up here to get this delivered to your inbox.

Janet DavisonRoyal Expert Fact, fiction and The Crown
Tumblr media
The last time Arthur Edwards took a photo of Prince Charles with Lord Louis Mountbatten, the heir to the throne had his arm around his great uncle. Similarly, Mountbatten had his arm around his great-nephew. They both seemed to be in fine form that day, not too long before Mountbatten lost his life to an IRA bomb in the summer of 1979 off the coast of Ireland. "They were laughing together," Edwards, the longtime royal photographer for the Sun newspaper, recalled over the phone from the U.K. this week. The recollection came to mind as controversy swirls over the newly released Season 4 of the Netflix drama The Crown. The show takes viewers into the reign of Queen Elizabeth, with the latest season moving the action into the 1980s. In the first episode, Mountbatten is seen just before his assassination writing a letter to Charles saying he could bring "ruin and disappointment" on the Royal Family with his pursuit of Camilla Parker Bowles, who in real life is now Charles's wife but at that time was married to someone else. There's no evidence — again, in real life — that such a letter was ever written or that Charles and Mountbatten quarrelled before he was killed. It's just one of many moments in the latest season that have set off debate over how fact meets fiction in the award-winning drama created by Peter Morgan. "Many people will think it's the truth ... but it's not," said Edwards, who snapped his first photo of Charles feeding sugar to his polo ponies in the mid-1970s, just after he'd left the Royal Navy. "Much of it … comes out of a scriptwriter's brain, which I can understand because … it's drama.” What bothers Edwards, he said, is the portrayal of Charles. "I've worked with him now for over 40 years, and I don't recognize that man in it." And therein lies a challenge of turning history into drama. "Certainly, in every season [of The Crown], there's a blend of fact and fiction, but it stands out in Season 4 because we are getting closer to the present day," said Toronto-based royal historian and author Carolyn Harris. Because so many in the audience will have their own memories of how what is portrayed in Season 4 turned out in real life — how Charles's marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales, collapsed in spectacular fashion, for example — there is perhaps further potential for the controversy now swirling. "It's always a challenge with historical fiction that the people who are being portrayed do not know what's going to happen next, but the audience ... does," said Harris. In some instances, the episodes present events that played out in the public eye and reflect the historical record. "An example is that engagement interview where Prince Charles famously said, 'whatever in love means,'" said Harris. But there are many other examples of events being fictionalized or put together to create a narrative. Take Michael Fagan's break-in at Buckingham Palace, a focus of Episode 5. That actually happened, in 1982. He breached security and made it to the Queen's bedroom, where he spoke to her. "But Michael Fagan describes it as a very brief conversation before he was arrested, whereas for the purposes of the series, he has a more extended dialogue about [Prime Minister] Margaret Thatcher's politics in order to tie this event to the series's critique of political developments while [she] was prime minister," said Harris.

Edwards worries, however, that people will believe The Crown's version of what happened when Fagan broke into the palace that night, which isn’t true, with its portrayal of a longer chat with the Queen. "That's what really irritates me," he said. And he remains troubled by the thought that the portrayal of Charles, pilloried for a bad marriage, doesn't reflect the driven and hard-working man he has seen up close, whether he is visiting and offering support to schoolgirls in northern Nigeria or the Jewish community in Krakow, Poland. "You won't see that on Netflix." Edwards went with Charles when he returned in 2015 to the site of Mountbatten's assassination. "I watched him … and he was remembering it." As aware as Edwards is of The Crown, he has stopped watching it.   "You've got to remember it's drama; it's not necessarily the whole truth."
Just let loose and dance Peter Morgan may be the creative mind behind The Crown, but in the current season, at least one moment playing out on the small screen came straight from the actor. At one point, Diana — played by Emma Corrin — dances by herself with wild abandon inside a very well-appointed room at Buckingham Palace — or in this case, a stately home filling the role of the palace where Diana went to live after her engagement to Prince Charles was announced in 1981. "It was one of my favourite scenes to film," Corrin said in a recent interview with the Royal Fascinator. "I loved it because they wanted to choreograph it, and I said, 'Do you mind if we don't ... I don't think we can choreograph a moment like that. I'd love to just let loose and dance.'" So she did, and she chose the song that was blasting over the speakers during filming, a bit of musical time travel to 1998, and Cher's Believe. Corrin's love for the song dates back a few years. "There's a theatre company in Britain called DV8, and they do this show called The Cost of Living, and there's an amazing dance scene," she said. "A guy does this dance to Cher's  … Believe…. It's like the truest form of expression I've seen." In Corrin's research for the role, she was surprised to learn how important dance was for Diana. "It was quite a private thing," said Corrin. "You see her dancing and what that does, how that is such a mode of expression and release, and I thought that was really interesting."
Looking ahead — and looking back
Tumblr media
Every so often over the past few years, there have been rumblings about whether Queen Elizabeth, now 94, might step aside from her role as she gets older. And as soon as those rumblings emerge, other royal observers are quick to note how that is unlikely for a variety of reasons, including the dark shadow cast by her uncle's abdication as King Edward VIII in 1936, her deep devotion to duty and how she has always considered her role as one for life. So it wasn't too surprising to see that scenario play out again in recent days when one royal biographer suggested Elizabeth might "step down" when she turns 95 next April. But soon after, there was also a very strong signal from Buckingham Palace about looking ahead in her reign. The first plans were announced for celebrations in 2022 to mark her Platinum Jubilee, or 70 years on the throne. It would be an unprecedented milestone — no British monarch has reigned as long as she has. In the United Kingdom, it will culminate in a four-day bank holiday weekend in early June. Oliver Dowden, the British culture secretary, said it would be a "truly historic moment" worthy of a "celebration to remember," the BBC reported.
Royally quotable
"Let us reflect on all that we have been through together and all that we have learned. Let us remember all victims of war, tyranny and persecution; those who laid down their lives for the freedoms we cherish; and those who struggle for these freedoms to this day."
— Prince Charles,
during a visit to Germany
to attend events commemorating its national day of mourning, which focused on British-German relations this year.
Royals in Canada
Tumblr media
While members of the Royal Family have made numerous trips to Canada over the years, The Crown hasn't turned its dramatic attention to them yet, even though the show has featured several foreign visits.
"It's a shame," said royal historian Harris, because during Queen Elizabeth's reign, "there have been some very interesting Canadian tours."
Sure, there's been a brief glimpse of a Canadian flag at a table during a Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting portrayed in The Crown.
"But we don't see Canada assuming a prominent role, whereas the series has had at least three tours of Australia," Harris said.
One episode in the current Season 4 focuses on Charles and Diana's 1983 trip Down Under. Shortly after that visit, Charles and Diana came to Canada. Had that been portrayed in The Crown, it would have backed up a developing theme, Harris said.
During the visit, Diana celebrated her 22nd birthday on Canada Day.
"There's press footage of Canadians giving Charles birthday cards to give to Diana, and a scene like that would have supported the theme of that episode of Charles feeling overshadowed by Diana," said Harris.
Edwards, the Sun photographer, was along for that trip, and has been to Canada about 15 times with members of the Royal Family.
The 1983 trip lasted 17 days and was "fantastic," he said. "It was just brilliant. I can recall it like it was yesterday. We criss-crossed the country."
During the opening of the World University Games in Edmonton on July 1, the crowd sang Happy Birthday to Diana.
"The whole crowd. It was phenomenal," said Edwards.
Harris sees potential plotting for future seasons of The Crown possibly playing into how the series has portrayed foreign visits so far.
"We see a stronger Australia focus, and it's certainly possible that the 1999 Australian referendum [on the monarchy] may come up in a subsequent season so some of this may be building towards that.
"But definitely in terms of the Commonwealth, certain nations are emphasized more than others in the series."

'NBA 2K21' goes complete MMO using next-gen The City style
The General Manager mode is really enjoyable and  Nba 2k21 Mt places in our hands the hands of a professional team to handle their destinations by buying, selling or selling players with other businesses. My Team mode is also a great deal of fun with a constantly updated card game (such as with special cards for events like Halloween). We can evolve the players and the staff with those cards or exchange them. Here too there's an obvious imbalance if we decide to use money to evolve our team.
Clearly, another of the sport's advantages, particularly for nostalgic individuals as a host, is the possibility of using ancient teams and players for actual or imagined skirmishes between groups of yesteryear or confronting present teams for spectacular dream duels. In addition, teams in the professional women's league have been incorporated to add new possibilities.
Between photo-realistic graphics and a brand new WNBA style, basketball fans have a great deal to look forward to when it comes to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of NBA 2K21. And you'll be able to add The City, an expanded online hub globe, to the listing of next-generation specific capabilities.
The City builds on the local gameplay mode that has been a hallmark of this franchise throughout the past couple of years. When you first visit The City, you'll begin in"Rookieville." It's just what it sounds like: a tutorial region where you'll need to complete several jobs before the rest of the internet world opens to you. Once you're from Rookieville, then you'll select among four Affiliations to combine: North, South, East and West. Each faction requires another borough of The City their house also has its own mayor.
Visual Concepts will handpick the game's first mayors from the NBA2K neighborhood to serve a first term. Then, each Affiliation will vote for their representative through an in-game poll -- in case you haven't had your fill of elections in the previous week. Each term lasts six weeks, and as a mayor, you are going to have the power to specify your faction's visual identity. Visual Concepts allows mayors to  buy nba 2k21 mt coins personalize their Affiliation's uniforms, court designs and much more.
