Hey friends!

Happy Mother's Day to the moms, step-moms, pseudo-moms, aspiring moms, and future moms here, and to each of yours. I hope you had a good week! Mine was busy with the newborn... and also in anticipation of the new Zelda game that came out, heh.

Something that interested me this week

Sooo the new Zelda game came out, and my word it's cool. I haven't been able to play a ton (because, again... I have a newborn), but the few times I have, it's amazing. I love it when mediums enable creativity in ways you wouldn't normally think of. I'll leave it at that to avoid spoilers, but if you've got spare time, I highly recommend the game so far!

Also, whew, this is officially issue #300 of this newsletter! Thanks for sticking around for so many!
