June has arrived and with it comes the season of June Brides.
This is the time of year when many weddings take place, and a festive atmosphere prevails. How are you all doing?
This is Fujita, director of “MFTD.”
 
Now, in the world of "MFTD."
the story event "A Young Lady Casting a Shadow of Ambition" has begun, featuring Lupusregina and Renner in gorgeous dresses. Please enjoy the story of these girls in gorgeous outfits!
 
Now, I would like to tell you about the current development status and future improvements.
 
■About the next update
We are currently working on renovating the UI of the strengthening screen, and in order to focus on this development, the next update is scheduled for July.
This UI renovation of the strengthening screen is expected to dramatically improve the "convenience" of character strengthening.
It will take some time until the next update, but please look forward to it.
We are also continuing to work on "Bug Fixes (including crash issues)."
We apologize for not being able to provide an update on the progress, but we would appreciate it if you could give us a little more time.
We will contact you with further details as they become available.
 
■ Regarding shop item renewal
We are planning to renew our shop items from the beginning of July.
Currently, there is a wide variety of items for sale in the game, making it difficult for users to choose items.
Therefore, we will implement the following improvements.

1. Narrowing down the number of items

- We will carefully select the number of items for sale and review the lineup and pack contents, focusing on items that are in high demand and popular among users.

1. Organizing the "Recommended" and "Pack" tabs

- Regular packs, whose purchase limit is reset once a month, will be moved to the "Pack" tab as a general rule, and regularly purchased packs will be collected in one place.
- Special items such as the "Fantasy Nostalgia Chaos Relic Pack" will be placed in the "Recommended" tab, making it easier to find limited-time items and special items.
We are preparing for a renewal so that users can purchase items more easily.
 
■ Repost & Like Campaign” to be held irregularly
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you who have participated in the "Repost & Like Campaign" held every month on X (formerly Twitter).
This campaign will be renewed after July and will be held more irregularly.
We understand that some of you may be concerned about the loss of rewards such as chaos stones that were distributed in the campaign, but will continue to make improvements to the game, such as enhancing rewards for logging in and game play, so that everyone can enjoy “MFTD” even more.
We will contact you with more details at a later date.
 
■Finally,
the characters who scored high in the June survey will be promoted to 5 stars.
We will be introducing attractive characters unique to “Overlord,” so please look forward to the announcement!
We are also planning to conduct our second user survey after the transfer of management around mid-June.
Our goal is to grow and develop “MFTD” together with our users.
If you have time, we would appreciate it if you could fill out the survey.
Our entire team will continue to work hard to provide you with an even better gaming experience.
We will continue to strive to live up to the trust you have placed in us, and we look forward to your continued support.
 
We hope you will continue to support "MASS FOR THE DEAD."
MASS FOR THE DEAD Director Fujita

I'm working out the timeline of events, feel to help me improve or work on the dates. cuz this made me want to bang my head against a wall.
Assuming the Cherryton is based in Japan and follows the Japanese term dates:
Third Term: Early January to late March First Term: Early April to late July - Summer Second Term: Early September to late December
We start the series off in winter, which in Japan is from December to February. This is indicated by everyone being in their winter uniforms. The transition to summer occurs after the Adler play, placing the start of the series in the later part of the Second Term to align with the seasonal change and the characters' school years.
This timeline matches with the main events of the first season: the Festival of the Meteor and the Shishigumi Kidnapping, which happen during the third term of the year. The murder arc occurs after this, when the characters transition back into their winter uniforms. It's stated that six months have passed since Tem was devoured, placing his death in early December (Second Term, Year 1).
The Festival of the Meteor takes place in the middle of the academic year (Third Term, Year 1 & First Term, Year 2), and the murder arc occurs in early October (Second Term, Year 2).
However, this timeline presents some issues:

• According to this timeline, the academy has completed an academic year by the time of the murder arc. Legoshi would actually be in his third year, Juno would move to her second year, and Louis and Haru would have graduated. This conflicts with Juno still being stated as a first-year student during the murder arc and obviously Louis and Haru still attend the school.
• Additionally, Juno's introduction as a presumed 16-year-old, with her birthday on February 12, means she would have turned 17 by the time she joined the drama club.
• Legoshi, introduced at 17, would turn 18 at the end of the first season, as his birthday is on April 9.

Interested what you guys think - also a summary below:
Summary of the Timeline
Winter - 0 T.D.I [Tem Devouring Incident] : Second-Term - Early December
Spring/Summer 0-1 T.D.I : Third & First -Term - January onwards Ending in August.
After the festival of the meteor we do a bit of a time jump to October - the reason indicating, is well, making the timeline work with Tem's death at the beginning of the calendar year following into summer. Legoshi states to Louis when he returns briefly to resign and leave school that it's been two months since Louis disappeared, If the murder arc takes place in October that would put the festival of the Meteor in August.
Winter 1 T.D.I : Early October to the End of December - Second Term [ Murder Arc ]

Gap Chart, Tour: 2022 Spring Tour
Set 1 : Cool It Down , Foam , Knuckle Bone Broth Avenue , Dirt , 555 > Gumbo > Backwards Down the Number Line > The Wedge , About to Run , Divided Sky
Set 2 : Wilson > Simple , Prince Caspian -> Egg in a Hole > Piper > Prince Caspian , Lonely Trip > Back on the Train , Most Events Aren't Planned , Blaze On
Encore : Nothing > When the Circus Comes , The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony > Suzy Greenberg
Jamchart Notes:
Backwards Down the Number Line - Great versions produce different points to view. Be it 7/8/14's summertime "Line"d up shimmery shake; Pitt 17's huge, crazed sustain; or 10/20/21's incendiary take; this here jam features what the best "BDNTLS" have in common: Fire Trey. Largely straightforward guitar whose inspired improvisation, offset by impassioned Fish, is the best of its type, carrying you not so much backwards, as away.
Simple - Multi-faceted shapeshifter cruises through an array of styles ranging from heavenly bliss to industrial funk, eventually ascending to a sizable peak and then briefly returns to "Simple" to close.
Piper - > from "Egg in a Hole". A familiar propulsive jam develops, with the music initially coalescing around a repeated minor key motif from Trey. Fishman and Mike's driving rhythms provide a bedrock for Trey and Page to dole out a bevy of varying textures. The jam threatens to fall apart but comes back alive via a "Manteca" tease. This then morphs into a peaky, psychedelic hard rocking jam before executing a rickety > "Prince Caspian."
Show Notes:
Mike teased Do You Feel Like We Do before Dirt. Trey teased Prince Caspian near the end of Egg in a Hole. Piper contained Guy Forget teases and quotes from Page and Manteca teases from Trey. Nothing was last played on January 15, 2017 (158 shows). The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony was last played October 20, 2018 (108 shows). The soundcheck's My Soul had Guy Forget lyrics from Fish.

1 Lyrics changed to refer to Col. (Bruce) Hampton. 2 "Reverend" Jeff Mosier on banjo. 3 "Reverend" Jeff Mosier on banjo and Oteil Burbridge on bass. 4 Crowd chanted for Fee as Fish took the stage. Fish sounded perplexed and remarked that he doesn't sing Fee, but Trey and Page started the song up anyway and left Fish on the spot. 5 Fish on vocals, aborted in chorus after first verse. [6] Fish on trombone.
Jamchart Notes:
Run Like an Antelope - Awesome version with the "Reverend" Jeff Mosier on banjo and Oteil Burbridge on bass. Great intro, good jam with a huge peak, and then a cool breakdown jam featuring the bass acompanied with scat singing.
Show Notes:
After Reba, the crowd was chanting "cheeseburger." Fish and Trey subsequently went into a rap about burgers. Trey dedicated Forbin's to the Colonial (Bruce Hampton). Forbin's was then performed with a variety of lyric substitutions of Col. (Bruce) Hampton for Col Forbin. Rocky Top through Antelope featured the "Reverend" Jeff Mosier on banjo; Antelope also featured Oteil Burbridge on bass. As Fish took the stage during HYHU, the crowd chanted for Fee. Fish sounded perplexed and remarked that he doesn't sing Fee, but Trey and Page started the song up anyway and left Fish on the spot. He tried his best and got through the first verse before falling apart during the chorus. Terrapin featured Fish on trombone. The band said "Fee" several times at that start of Possum, which contained subsequent Blue Monk teases from Trey and a Rhapsody in Blue tease from Page. BBFCFM contained an Auld Lang Syne tease from Trey. The source of Set I is phish.com.

Title. Considering beginning first time and fairly aggressive marathon training, so I am planning to work up to 18-22 milers. First and foremost though, I know it’s going to be highly personal, and I will probably have an opinion of my own once I take them 10+, just want to get some of your thoughts.
Some background: kinvaras are literally the only shoe I have run in since 2010. Had the 1’s and 2’s in high school, didn’t run from 2011-2020. Picked up a pair of 12’s in 2020 and have basically just been running 1-2 miles two or three times a week on the treadmills at the gym after workouts. I’ll get serious about running for about 6 weeks a year in preparation for the local July 4th 5k and bump up to 15-20 miles a week, but that’s it. Right now those K12’s are about done, and I have picked up two pair of 13’s, probably less than 20 mi on each.
My only worry is: are the Kinvaras going to tear my feet up when I start going long? After looking at shoes/reviews (and the FAQs on here) for the last couple of days, it seems like most would consider them more of lightweight trainer for faster stuff. I’m 5’9” and sittin about 145 these days if that makes a difference.
Anyone with experience using them for full-on marathon training, including long runs? Is there a reason to worry about them not being enough shoe when I start going 10+? Any suggestions for alternatives? First thought would be to try the Saucony Ride, those just aren’t as sexy as all the other cool stuff I see posted on here. Endo Speeds seem to be reviewed on different sites as an all around shoe that would fit the bill, but the FAQs on here discourage using it as such.
There’s so much info out there, I’m just getting analysis paralysis, so TYIA for any thoughts!

5 years ago, 100 gecs released their debut album 1000 Gecs. The album is a very high energy experimental album that takes inspiration from many genres including ska and dubstep, and it even led to the creation of the official spotify hyperpop playlist, although they are not credited to the creation of the genre itself which is a misconception of some. The duo themselves prefers not to label the album in a genre and instead see it as fans of music that put whatever they want on it, not unlike a compilation album.
Members Dylan Brady and Laura Les had taken a break from working together on music after the release of their ep 100 Gecs in July of 2016. What brought them back together was an invitation to perform together at the Minecraft Fire Festival in 2019 which they made new music for that would later end up on the album. Yes, an invitation to perform in Minecraft is what led to the birth of this modern masterpiece.
The demos of songs performed at the festival consisted of gecgecgec, gec 2 Ü, 745 Sticky, I need help immediately, xXXi_wud_nvrstøp_ÜXXx, interlude gecgecgec pt 2?, and finally their most popular song off the album, money machine which would later serve as the lead single. They enjoyed working together so much for the event that they continued working together throughout the year creating 1000 Gecs.
The majority of the album was made via email with each producer sending a piece to the other for them to add something and send back. They hardly even spoke to each other about the vision for the song in these emails, which speaks to how well they mesh as producers. Historically, it is very unusual for an album to be made this way.
The album received great critical reception and made year lists by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and Paper magazine. It is now considered a staple of the hyper pop genre and was so popular they released a remix album which will be getting its own write up so I won’t go in to details there.
Discussion Questions:

1. If this album came out today what would the popheads comment section look like?
2. How did you discover the album? And did you know of the band prior to the release?
3. What is your favorite song off of the album?
4. Do you think the album is worthy of the praise it gets in the genre or do you consider it to be overhyped?

I really want to do go to a summerween festival (from gravity falls) sometime in June/july. Hint hint, event planners I think it would be a hit!

(Reposting because I messed up adding the photos!) Finally reached a place where I feel like my farm is sharable! The second image is from July 2022 and the first image is today. I stopped playing for a while when all I needed was the Gold Clock but came back to it with 1.6.
I unexpectedly got really into tiger slimes. Every slime hutch and two of the sheds are filled with tiger slimes (though they don't seem to reproduce in the shed very much). I also made a little Junimo themed tiger slime zoo next to the sheds! I considered making it a maze but maybe that's my next little project. I started breeding them in the Cindersnap Forest too.
I have six pets with achievement hats and I put a hat on my alien scarecrow and horse too. The pets have a little park where I used tea saplings as fencing. I also didn't feel complete without a blue and gold chicken. Plus, I FINALLY figured out how to get a duck in the water thanks to a lot of the tips on here :)
Surprisingly, I still only have one auto-petter. They are so elusive... I also haven't planted banana and mango trees here (only on Ginger Island with my Sweet Gem Berry farm) but I think I'll put those in the corners above the bee houses. There are actually lightning rods on my farm but they are hidden behind the obelisks! I also had crab pots on the bottom edge of the lower lake but I removed them to see if the ducks would jump in and they did!
Honestly, I wasn't feeling any of the bachelors but Elliot really grew on me during our marriage. He always says the sweetest romantic things! We have two kids now and I'm very happy with him.
My hair is black but I used the Magic Hair Gel so that's why it looks like that! The outfit is not my original but I got it from Emily at the Desert Festival and I really liked it.
Inside my house is hardly decorated but I did make the attic into a movie room with the six movie posters that Elliot likes. I also made an aquarium room and little library but these are works in progress.
Any feedback on my farm design? Would love ideas for the aquarium and movie rooms too to make them more themed as well! I wish I could take concessions from the movie theater and display them there.
Thanks for letting me share and reading this far! I started a new Forest Farm and I'm really excited for what new ideas come out of it!

For those in Blacksburg, here's a rundown of 28 local events you can enjoy in Blacksburg and throughout the New River Valley as June arrives.
Weekend Rundown of Local Fun: 1. Matt Holloman in Concert Rising Silo Farm Brewery, Blacksburg Friday, May 31, 2024, 6:00 - 9:00 PM Admission: Free Born and raised in southeastern Virginia, Matt Holloman has been playing around Virginia for more than 25 years. Growing up on his older brother’s blues collection, Matt mixed the likes of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters with the experimental sounds of songwriters like Leonard Cohen and Frank Black, creating a style all his own. Always interested in reinventing his live performance, Matt uses a looper so he can improvise and manipulate layers of sound not usually heard from an acoustic performer. You can also expect simple, but memorable songs, reminiscent of storytelling songwriters like John Prine and Bob Dylan. Link: http://www.nextthreedays.com/FeaturedEventDetails.cfm?E=777075

4. The Grascals in Concert Little River Bluegrass Barn, Radford Friday, May 31, 2024, 7:00 - 10:00 PM General Admission: $30.00, Reserved Tickets: $35.00 Great musicians will always find a way to make good music, but for great musicians to make great music, they must form a bond – one that, more often than not, goes beyond the purely musical to the personal. For The Grascals, that bond has been forged at the intersection of personal friendships, shared professional resumes and an appreciation for the innovative mingling of bluegrass and country music that has been a hallmark of the Nashville scene for more than 40 years. Their cutting-edge modern bluegrass is delivered with a deep knowledge of, and admiration for, the work of the music’s founding fathers. Timely yet timeless, The Grascals make music that is entirely relevant to the here and now yet immersed in traditional values of soul and musicianship. It’s a unique sound that has earned three Grammy® nominations and two Entertainer of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association, as well as national media attention that seems to perpetually elude acts entrenched in niche genres. Such appearances include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Fox & Friends, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and CBS’ The Talk. The Grascals have over 200 guest appearances on the Grand Ole Opry to their credit and have also performed on the revered stages of Radio City Music Hall, the Ryman Auditorium and the Kennedy Center as well as music festivals such as MerleFest, Stagecoach, and the CMA Music Festival. In addition to performing across the United States and Canada, the awarding-winning band has traveled the world to take bluegrass music to Japan, Greece, France, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, and Belgium.

Early Bird Festival Ticket (18+) 11 - 14 July 2024 £220

my brother (27 M) is getting married to his fiancé (26 F) next month. to preface everything, i (25 F) don't have a super close relationship with my brother, we've never gotten in arguments growing up, we've just never been close, we're very opposite people and he's never really shown an interest in having a close connection with me despite my efforts, which hurts, but there is no animosity between us. my parents divorced when i was about 14 years old, and my dad was always very verbally abusive and manipulative to my brother, mother and i growing up, so we moved in with our mom and cut ties with him when we could. my entire dad's side is very similar to him. i remember when i was young, one night my dad was threatening my brother and i so i called his parents (our grandparents) to get them to call him to calm him down (this is after years of them telling us repeatedly they will always be here for us if we ever need anything) and instead they told me that we'll be okay and hung up without concern, and called him to tell him what we said, which escalated the situation. this is when i decided i wouldn't have anything to do with any of them after we moved. my dad is also very wealthy, and if you do what he wants, he'll give you money. he is also a very large narcissist.
a few years ago, my brother reconnected with my dad and his side of the family. my brother is very money oriented , and it was very convenient that once he got engaged, he reached out to my dad, who is now paying for a large chunk of the wedding. my brother's fiancé is just smitten with my dad, and the few times my mom and i have told her about the abuse she just says she can't believe it and brushes it off.
my brother and his fiancé have had quite a few pre-wedding celebrations including a wedding shower, stag and doe, and a bridal shower and i haven't attended any of them due to the fact that my dad, his new wife, and my grandparents have attended all of them and i have no interest in being around them due to the trauma that they have caused me.
i have tried voicing to my brother that they make me extremely uncomfortable and evoke an emotional response from me and he just says "okay" and doesn't want to discuss things further.
i will reluctantly be attending their wedding come july, although i really don't want to out of the fear of seeing that side of the family, but he is my only sibling and i would like to celebrate this milestone in his life. i do love my brother and i think his fiancé is just a sweetheart.
my mom has been attending all of the pre-wedding festivities but i just don't have it in me to join her due to the stress seeing these people causes me, and i have a lot of unhealed wounds. i know his fiancé's side of the family must find it odd that i'm not attending. AITAH for not attending these pre-wedding festivities or does it even matter?

So, based on patterns we've seen in the past regarding Cryptic's push to get seasonal events to line up, this is what I believe will be the timeline moving us into July & August:
PC

• May 28th-June 27th: Delete Alt Control
• June 27th-July 11th: Red Alert 2 week version
• July 9th-August 9th: Lohlunat Festival
• August 9th: Red Alert 1 week or Event Campaign 4 of 6
  Console
  
• June 4th-June 18th: Red Alert 2 week version
  
• June 18th-July 9th: Demon Slayer Event (Campaign 3 of 6)
  
• July 9th-August 9th: Lohlunat Festival
  

Again, this is based on patterns we've seen before. I'm not looking to look past August for right now because I'm not sure what the rest of the year will look like yet, but given that they like keeping the platforms roughly around the same time for seasonal events, this is what I predict we could see.
What do you guys think?
