Owlcat Games showed armor with a cat-like visor from The Expanse: Osiris Reborn 😼 The studio dropped a concept art of comms officer Regina Marek. Her helmet is styled like a kitty face, but behind the cuteness is a deadly sniper. Enemies won't get to admire the design when they're in her crosshairs, THEY WON'T SEE IT COMING. Would you rock this armor?

I really like when Aeldaris do that.

Yesterday on a discord server we came to the conclusion that Laarthyr is really hard to pronounce, so we need a nickname. Just like we shortened Marazhai to 'Marzi' or 'Marzipan'... that's how 'Larry' was born. So, as cheeky mon-keigh - welcome Larry to the fandom 🥳

To be sure there's some great moments, like Valerie unloading her frustrations about everyone trying to foist a destiny onto her or Tristian discussing redemptive philosophy (with deliciously foreshadowy subtext), but narratively it feels like it's too soon for dialogues that seem to imply that you've had time to become friends. It does let you understand their characters quickly, though I think it does cost some of the authenticity of going back to talk to them as the story progresses, even if they benchwarm most of the adventure.
