Vol. 62 - Dispatch Me from Earth
The worst game I've experienced this year right next to one of the best games I've played this year. Life is funny like that.
No newsletter last week 'cause I was hella gamin', sorry.~
But that makes this newsletter extra packed! On with the stuff!
Interesting Stuff
Cobblemon
I continue to be in awe of what the Minecraft modding scene is capable of. This Pokemon mod goes crazy.
Eldiron
An open-source retro CRPG game engine! Am definitely going to give this a try.
Pokemon Lazarus
You might have already heard of this one — one of the most anticipated romhacks I’ve ever seen, one non-binary icon created a wonderful little game. Make sure to grab it, it’s been a blast. You can even play it on your silly lil tech toy.

Status Update
I’ve started dipping into the Genesis and Saturn eras of games a bit more deeply lately — I played and deeply enjoyed Phantasy Star IV last year, but there’s still lots to uncover. Right now I’m chipping away at Shining Force II, Shining the Holy Ark, and Panzer Dragoon Saga. I’ll have thoughts on most of these in the future, I’m sure.
Other than that, I guess it’s holiday season, although it doesn’t feel like it. Keeping it quiet here at the Mint household. There may or may not be a newsletter next weekend, depending on how bored I am, which would cause me to write more.
