Look! I'm back when I said I would be! Never say I don't keep my promises. (You can still say that)
Anyways let's get to it!
## Interesting Stuff
### [Metroid Prime 4: Beyond HUD by Jon Wofford](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JvXzev)
A very interesting look at the HUD UI/UX for Samus in the next game. As someone with a career in this area, I had a blast reading this!
### [Wiby](https://wiby.me/)
Remember when Google didn't suck? That's what this is!
### [Curiomatic Fonts](https://curiomatic.com/fonts)
A bunch of cool fonts I stumbled upon! I've added it to the [[Fonts]] page as well!
### [[Gen AI - Too Much Spend - Too Little Benefit]]
Highlighted this great article on why the AI bubble is falling apart.
## Planted this Week
[[Thoughts on the Baten Kaitos Origins Battle System]]
It is, in fact, time to duel.
### [[The Appeal of Grind Games]]
I wrote about why it's fun to do the same thing over and over and over again!
### [[Romancing SaGa 3 Tips]]
If you ever get around to playing this sick-ass game, keep this around to get started!
### [[6 Hours of Trails Through Daybreak]]
Wrote some thoughts on the new entry-point into the **Trails** series.
## Media Corner
Got a lot of stuff during the Steam Sale, which means, of course, that I'm playing [[Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition (2021)|Nioh 2]] again. I've also been playing **The First Descendant**, which I might write about. Is it the best game I've ever played? No. But Doritos aren't the best food I've ever eaten, yet I still like them. Does that make sense?
## Status Update
It's my borfday week! I'm going on vacation, so no newsletter next week. I'm looking forward to hanging out with friends, eating some good-ass food, and not being at this desk for a few days. I love my battlestation, but if I sit at it for too long I start losing my mind, not gonna lie.
## Signing Off
Have a wonderful day!
