Good morning 🤍 I'm finally home. After 15 days in the hospital. One chemo. One surgery. And more tears than I can count. I've been quiet about it because some things are just hard to put into words. It's hard to talk about your pain when the world outside only sees pieces of your life: the house, the car, the way your kids are dressed, the puppy, the life you built and they think “she has everything. She's fine. She's lucky." And that quietly breaks you a little. Because no one sees what you're carrying. No one sees the nights you fall apart. No one sees the moments you wonder if you're going to be okay. I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm sharing this because somewhere out there, someone else is also hiding their storm behind a life that looks "put together." You are not alone. And appearances are never the full story. I don't know what the road ahead looks like but I'm home. And I am so deeply, painfully, overwhelmingly grateful. Not in a pretty way. In a “I ugly-cried in the car on the way home” kind of way, In a “I stood in my room and just breathed” kind of way. Grateful for the ordinary. Grateful to be here. Grateful for another chance to live this messy, imperfect, beautiful life. 🤍

@steamboy33 Shao is gorgeous

People always asked who my favorite Overwatch hero was. I'd say "I love playing Pharah" or "I like drawing Genji." The truth is, it's always been Tracer - one of the earliest characters I designed, and the foundation for everything that followed. I see Shao the same way. Tracer embodies the spirit of Overwatch: bright, hopeful, heroic. She became the visual DNA of the world: electric orange, sleek white, futuristic grey. Shao embodies the spirit of Azuki: bold, sharp, elegant. She defines its visual identity: punchy red, striking black and white. But Shao is more than just aesthetics - there's a whole story we haven't explored yet. One I've been working hard on and am eager to share soon. I still remember designing Shao in our PFP editor over 4 years ago and bringing her to life in our first announcement trailer. It felt right for her to be the first Portrait Rare in the Azuki TCG. When @_Tomugi first came to me about creating the most sought-after card in Azuki TCG, it felt daunting. We wanted something unmistakably ours - the kind of card where, like the manga rare in One Piece TCG, you instantly know what it is. We set out to hit 3 things: Stand out among the best TCG rares Feel unmistakably Azuki Look awesome Early concepts didn't quite land, especially on the second point. How can we make it uniquely Azuki? So we worked with @Zagabond to find an idea that brought us back to our roots: the PFP. Azuki was born from a collection of PFPs, and what better to represent our identity than the thing that gave us our identity in the first place? But this wasn't about dropping an OG PFP onto a card. It had to feel intentional and crafted. The OG collection used bold lines and simple colors to pop at a small PFP scale. With TCG, we're still working small, but we have more to play with in terms of materials and finish. We set out to create a holofoil treatment that feels uniquely ours - something you don't typically see in other TCGs. If you've seen the digital version of the Shao Portrait Rare on tcg.azuki.com, you'll notice a holographic pattern layered across the entire card. We call this the "Red Bean Soup" pattern. It represents the in-between void that characters pass through when traveling between gates in the Garden - something we'll explore further in the Azuki manga. It was important to us that this wasn't just visual, but rooted in the story itself. I'm excited to share this new expression of Shao with the world. She's such an important character to me and to Azuki. More of her story is coming soon.

@bitcoinmalaya How much does he charge per cut

Barber said he earns RM30K/month ($7500) Asked: "Why do people spend years in university to earn RM3K in office?" I was stunned. A surprisingly tough Q.

This is one of many new sick alt arts we will be releasing

@AzukiTCG Step on me pls mummy

Azuki started with art. The Azuki TCG continues that. Characters that began as PFPs are coming to life through the cards, and the gameplay pulls you deeper into the lore and world. Set 1 is going into production and it's all becoming very real. Manga adds the storytelling layer and emotional connection with fans. The story will develop at the pace fans actually want. And on the tech side, we're doing R&D on PBT. Imagine tapping a physical card with your phone to verify it's authentic (& much more). It's a longer term play, but there are real problems in collectibles that only technology can solve. Every day that passes, I get more bullish on this strategy. Core to Azuki has always been three things: art, storytelling, and technology. Now we get to go deeper on all three with way more focus. TCG → manga → anime. The path is clear.

@pukerrainbrow Math is not mathing

Guys if you’re broke, just focus on investing $5 a day $5 x 7 = $35 a week $35 × 30 = $1,050 a month $1,050 × 365 = $383,250 a year You only need to invest $5 a day to make your first 6 figs

New cards are live in the gallery! Grab your proxies and let us know what you're building. tcg.azuki.com/gallery
