Pokemon XD: Director’s Cut
Cool new romhack of Pokemon XD that adds a bunch of QOL. Worth checking out!
We need to talk about Gamer Girl Fascism
This isn’t really news to anyone who’s reading this newsletter, but still a very well done essay.
What is hip? - TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI
Good-ass vibes from a good-ass band. Women playing instruments will always be hot to me.

Status Update
My Q3 review went well so I got myself Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road as a treat. I’m sure I’ll have lots of thoughts on it. They call it “football” and not “soccer,” so they’re already off to a great start.
Signing Off
Gonna be watching Predator: Badlands tonight, my first IMAX showing since…flips through notebook…I actually don’t know! Damn! That’ll be fun.
