Asura and Tris sitting on their own beach chair and under a pink umbrella. Sandals case aside, with a fruit bowl and tropical punch at their side. They stare out to see, cuddling up next to each other.

It's still not too late for the beach~ That's exactly what Asura and I said this late summer/early fall. With the warm sun, gentle breeze, and relaxing waves, we can always escape to our own paradise when the stresses of life become too much.

Summer might be winding down, but Asura still had fun at the beach, complete with new swim suits for us too ♥

Asura standing on the left with her pink and black kimono, and white tabi and black zori. To her right is Tris, wearing her lavender and violet kimono, her white tabi and pink zori. Asura holds a sakura colored Japanese traditional umbrella above them as they walk forward. Lines of sakura trees surround them fading into the distance, while cherry blossom petals fall all around the couple.

Spring may be gone, but this piece was meant to commemorate our partnership during the spring. Walking through a path of Sakura, hand in hand together always <3

Yeah it definitely is rough around the edges

Hm well my family owned this one for sure. But Fair enough.

I was really young like pre school age so I didn’t mind the quality I suppose but yeah.

This was one of my childhood games haha.

On the contrary, Generative AI can also be used to create art or models, which is a high point of contention as obviously impacting one of the core jobs in the industry is a sensitive topic.

Generative AI for art won't be sustainable going forward either though. It's too limited by its own design.

Did he mention what kind of generative AI? It's a pretty vague term.

Computer Programmers use Generative AI to help reduce tedious scripting or not waste hours searching for the correct syntax or solution to an error message on stackoverflow

I mean for what it is worth it's sold out everywhere online, and I know in some local areas you can't find them either. My brother tells me he's been searching for weeks with no avail yet.

But yeah, who knows. We'll see what Nintendo has with their quarterly report in the near future

In the past each of these really would have been its own Generation of sorts... but we live in a different world now

So overall console generations are not as clear cut as they used to be.

Another reason that makes it tricky is because Sony and Xbox artifically extended gen 8's life cycle with mid tier refreshes

The PS4 pro and Xbox One X released around the time of switch

and switch oled released a year after xbox series x and ps5.

if you consider it more by iteration, then I would say Nintendo has become offset from Xbox/Ps5... those two companies are on their 9th generation of consoles

Nintendo is on their 10th with Switch 2.

But either way it's complicated.

If you defined generations by technical innovations, The Switch 2 would be more of a gen 9 console, it doesn't significantly outpace the Series X or PS5 to be a new gen.

but...

Kind of depends on how you define generations. It's not very clean cut anymore.

A lot of sources didn't consider Switch a gen 9 console because it lacked power and was rushed out.

But the Wii is considered gen 7 along with the 360 and PS3, despite being in a similar boat.

Many people who were younger back then like myself relate to our parents

“This is just an accessory to the Wii”

Or similar sentiments.

The switch 2 meanwhile from its name alone is pretty clear it’s the next iteration of the device. Same form phones use, it’s clear to mass audiences.

The Wii U was ill fated not because it was too similar but because many didn’t get it was a new console

If you watch the reveal trailer, the emphasis is on the gamepad with the phrase “new controller” constantly on screen.

Never once did they say “new console”

- Disaster level marketing campaign and confusing name. Many didn’t get it was a new console.

- Very underpowered and 3rd party support fell off hard.

- Casuals had moved onto tablets and other smart devices.

The Wii was a lightning in a bottle. They tried to replicate that with Wii U, it failed.

Asura and myself (Tris) dancing at a ballroom. Asura is wearing her typical black mini dress with pink stockings and black boots, her head topped with a pink floral hat and wearing her white silk gloves. I am wearing my pink formal dress, white tights and pink ballet flats. Asura is pulling me down into a dip maneuver while we dance in a luxurious ballroom.

Sometimes, Asura takes me out to dance, usually a private ball, one where we can dance in peace, without her being surrounded by fans. She always guides me, the expert she is, and pulls me into intense moves. But I always trust her and follow her lead 💗

Asura drinking a cup of tea, under the moonlight with a Japanese like city in the background below.

Asura's many adventures are far and wide. But no matter where she does go, one thing never changes: Her stopping for a sweet cup of tea.

When she takes a sip, even the night sky gasps at her gracefulness, her elegance ✨

The world can definitely suck, my body can feel like a burden, and sometimes life is just really hard.

But as long as I can stay by Asura’s side… I’ll be here and be happy 🩷

Asura looking up at the stary sky. Dressed in her signature pink kimono.

It's been a long journey, Asura has had many adventures, and yet life is still full of so many possibilities.

Things have changed, we have transcended the binds of a game that hurt us dramatically, but we shall push on together.

Looking up at the stars, We're excited for what's next ♥

I can get why you may feel that way but it's about it being a competitive game more than it is being good for TV I guess.

If you aren't competitive then yeah you're gonna run out of time and chances to win, just how it is. Other team shouldn't be penalized for performing strong.
