It’s been a while! But I didn’t disappear. My Sundays just happen to have been pretty busy lately, lol. Plus I’ve been traveling for work a lot. But! I have lots of stuff to share, so let us get back into it. ## Interesting Stuff ### We Almost got VR Jumping Flash Literally what the stupid thing was built for, but apparently [they never got it off the ground](https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-new-jumping-flash-game-was-in-development-for-playstation-vr/). AAA Gaming continues its deluge of Ls. ### Obsidian Wallpapers Do you have the same level of parasocial obsession as I do with [[Obsidian]]? Then definitely [grab these wallpapers](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1caSYNTxxmptTSXOsKVQuZk8GdaeQuj0E) ### 5 Great GBA RPGs with English Patches [[5 Great GBA RPGs With English Patches - Retro Handhelds|A great list]] that some people might not know about. Some are obvious — I feel like we didn’t need [[Mother 3]] on there, personally — but **Oriental Blue** is a great pull, and it’s nice to see **Caravan Hearts** get some love. It feels unfairly maligned to me. I might have to write about it some day! ### Vert [A useful, frill-free file converter](https://vert.sh/). Takes images, videos, and audio, with no ads or tracking, and it’s all open-source! Plus all processing other than video is done on your own device! ### TypingPhonetic Drum Machine [You say boom chit boomboomb chit](https://10kdrummachines.com/machines/phonetic-drum-machine/pdm?mc_cid=02e065cf5f) and it comes back to you as a drum sequencer. Neat! ## Planted Recently [[Thoughts on the Nintendo Switch 2]] It’s fine! [[Youth O Youth]] An ode to **Yokai-Watch 3** and the person I could have been. [[An ADHD Guide to Playing Dragon Quest VIII]] This was pretty fun to write lmfao. ## Media Corner ### Games Playing: - [[Rune Factory - Guardians of Azuma]] - This game is like cocaine to me, I’m in deep and it’s bad - [[Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo]] ### TV/Film - [[Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning]] - [[Ballerina]] - [[Life of Chuck]] - [[Goodbye Julia]] - [[Kpop Demon Hunters]] - [[Longlegs]] - [[Gachiakuta]] ### Music - **Miitopia Original Soundtrack** - **Spyro Complete Soundtrack** - Stewart Copeland - **Float** - buko boys - **BEAUTIFUL CHAOS** - KATSEYE - [[KPop Demon Hunters Soundtrack]] - TWICE - **Radiant Revival** - Jamie Paige & Hatsune Miku - **Oscillaria ~ オシラリア** - Natsukashii ~ 懐かしい ## Status Update Goin’ alright even tho also the world is burning obviously lmfao. Got to go to the Ninendo Store in San Francisco and it was really nice, even got to try the new Donkey Kong game that’s coming out a few weeks early. And I finally started writing my novel again, after reading **On Writing** by Stephen King and feeling embarrassed, lmfao.
