    The Japanese House - In the End It Always Does (2023)

    This album just feels like a maturation and realization of what Amber wants to explore and sound like as The Japanese House. There are familiar sounds and themes from past albums, but it feels more lived in this time around. Just an easy, nice, chill album to listen to from somebody who seems to be finally settling into their groove and being more comfortable than ever in what they can do.

    As a whole, Mazda has been my favorite brand of car to drive. I've jumped between 4 of them in the last 13 years and have never had any large or persistent issues with them. I think they've nailed the cost value of them.

    Jumping off of what @Lapbunny said, for long drives the CX-5 could be a little more comfy, but I found this also applied to my 3. I am personally finding the tech in the CX-5 the most frustrating of the models I've owned so far, and a lot of that is on the auto-braking when coming up behind cars. I can make the judgment call that I'm far enough back from a car turning/leaving the lane to release my brakes and not touch the gas pedal, and the car will still brake and beep at me. There's no way to permanently disable that, only each time you turn on the car.

    Recently traded my 2017 Mazda 3 for a 2019 CX-5. Loving the extra space, but miss some of the mods I had installed on the 3

    Colombia Black Honey Caturra Koji ferment from Luminous Coffee. I usually brew on my Kono (18:300 in 50g pulses). Nice aggregate fruit acidity, deeper wine-body, some spices thrown in there.

    Same boat. I think overall it's a great game that I'm happy to have in my collection and one that is fun to play, but I basically got it to hang out with my friends since we all have families, and I'm historically the one to get burnt out on ARPG gameplay loops the quickest as I enjoy open world and multiplayer PvP games more. I'll continue to play it so I can do something with them, but grinding for gear isn't something I find particularly enjoyable. Hoping that Season 1 will bring some extra flair or something to work towards.
