There's a picture of the mayor being sworn in and another of one of the accused men. The article does not mention the race of the attackers nor how they self-identify.

Heaven's Vault was fantastic and can be played multiple times to get different versions of the story. It's also on sale right now. What I thought was especially well done is how they tied the narrative to replaying aspect.

TotK. I'm going the maximum exploration route, so I've only gotten the Travel Medallions, Tulin's Sage, and the locator so far. I'm leaving the main story until much later. 135 hours in, though, and only playing an hour or two most days.

Pinky: What are we doing this weekend, Brain?
Brain: The same thing we do every weekend...We're going to take over Hyrule!

How on Earth have you done all the temples in only 50 hours?

It can be a bit overwhelming, yes. I purposely did enough of the main story line in ToTK so that I could get the Hero's Path and the Travel Medallions. And now I'm ignoring the main story and just exploring the world bit-by-bit, like I did with Breath of the Wild. I'm still thoroughly exploring Central Hyrule. I'm racking up side quests and adventures, but only doing them if I want a break from exploring or want to better my gear or something. It takes the pressure off for me to do it this slow, relaxing way. The game feels like it has hundreds of hours in it, which is what I tell myself when I get antsy. I have almost literally all the time in the world.

I've discovered that my brain will only accept certain content certain ways. If I'm really into a fun book, then text is perfect. If it's any kind of "literature" or non-fiction, I need to listen to it at the fastest setting my brain can absorb (usually 2x speed) while doing things that would otherwise not be fun (unloading the dishwasher, cleaning, doing laundry, whatever). And I pay attention to my emotional reactions to stuff. If something is too heavy to be fun (or to handle in general), I don't make myself go back to it. I evaluate whether I want to continue. I have more than 1,000 books on my Libby wishlist, so I feel no guilt about moving on to the next thing.

This seriously brought me down the other day when I first read it. I'm glad that BBC is doing this important work, but also, this is so dark my brain just can't go there.

You use tags. You can see this for yourself if you want to know if a tag will get picked up and where it might either pull from or go to: https://kbin.social/tag/food. This FAQ talks about how tags work.

Sure, this talks briefly about tags. I'm trying to find the guide for new users that was written early this week, but can't at the moment. I believe it talked more about them. When posting on kbin, add tags to the tags field. Try to make them relevant and likely that someone has set their magazine or other instance community to look for it.

Edit: This is also how Related Magazines and Related Threads are pulled into the sidebar within magazines.

Edit 2: There's also /m/gettingstarted but they don't have a ton of stuff there, though they do link to that FAQ above.

Edit 3: To see if a tag will work for your purposes this is the link: https://kbin.social/tag/food where you replace "food" with whatever your tag is. This lets you see where people are posting about that as well as what kind of content will pull into your magazine if you use that tag in your magazine settings.

If things are being tagged, they should be picked up in related threads within magazines and microblogs (on kbin, but I think in other instances, too). So tag a lot.

My favorite thing is that I use mine connected to the dock, but handheld, so that it's the controller to what is on my TV. It also has an ethernet cable connected to the dock. Not sure if this would work for everyone. I sit on the floor on a tatami mat and the 40-something-inch TV is also on the floor. It is heavy, so my hands tend to rest on my folded legs while playing, or I'll put a pillow on my lap for it to be a bit higher.
