Wishing the team @Play2XKO my best in light of this unfortunate news. So many talented people behind the scenes put a ton of hard work and time into this game - they should be proud of what they were able to accomplish.
With a heavy heart, the @Play2XKO team shares an update about the future. - Active development will end in December. - The final content patch goes live in October. - Servers stay online. - In-game purchases made before August 20 will be refunded. riot.com/4zvjsK0

Wonderous
Apennine Colossus (Colosso dell'Appennino), a 11m statue created around 1580 by sculptor Giambologna. It is located in the gardens of the Villa Demidoff (formerly Villa di Pratolino) in Vaglia, just north of Florence, Italy 🇮🇹 Built over 420 years ago, the Apennine Colossus statue built with a brick core encased by a carved stone exterior. There's even a secret room behind his head with a fireplace that blows smoke through his nostrils. Completed around 1580, the Apennine Colossus was designed by Flemish sculptor Giambologna for the Villa di Pratolino, the Medici family's lavish estate outside Florence. Standing approximately 35 feet (10.7 meters) tall, the giant represents the Apennine Mountains, the range that stretches the length of Italy. More than a statue, it was an engineering marvel that blended sculpture, architecture, and hydraulics. The Colossus was hollow, containing several rooms and mechanical features. A chamber inside the head included a fireplace, and when lit, smoke escaped through the giant's nostrils, creating the illusion that the mountain itself was breathing. Water also flowed through the structure to power fountains and animate hidden water features throughout the surrounding gardens, which were among the most spectacular in Renaissance Europe. Although much of the original Villa di Pratolino was demolished in the 19th century, the Apennine Colossus survived and remains one of Giambologna's largest and most extraordinary works, attracting visitors more than 440 years after it was built. #archaeohistories

Murakami sensei created so many of the toys that sparked my love for mecha as child. A true visionary, artist and designer with an unrivaled breadth of work. Rest in peace
RIP Katsushi Murakami (1942-2026). A legendary designer for many tokusatsu & anime series (Gavan, Bioman, Giraya Ninja, Ulysse 31, Space Adventure Cobra, Gatchaman...), and toys.

I was happy to be able to capture a wonderful moment between @takaNakayama , Matsumoto-san, and a very special attendee @Evo . For a moment it wasn’t about fighting games, spectacle nor competition. Just two dudes stoked to meet the goodest pup.

Happy birthday to one of the nicest people in the world, @thisislijoe ! (w/ legendary artist Shinkiro-sensei at Evo LV 2025) He saw sensei in the staff break area and was awestruck but was too humble to ask for a photo but I convinced him otherwise. Two legends! Much love Joe!
