The weather went below 70F (21.1C) and it’s been raining a bunch, so it’s officially Fall as far as I’m concerned. Pay no attention to the thermostat right now. Just throw that hoodie on and read this week’s newsletter! ## Interesting Stuff ### Pokemon Roulette [This game](https://zeroxm.github.io/pokemon-roulette/) has been an absolute hit amongst my forum members this past week. You just spin a wheel to “play” Pokémon. I got a shiny snom, continuing my streak of getting shinies in everything *but* mainline Pokémon games. ### Reading AI Books So You Never Will [Great meditation on creation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpBe-qOj9LQ), through the lens of AI slop’s worthlessness. Make something! Fight back! ### Kendra & Her Psychiatrist I’ve been fascinated by this woman and might write about it myself, but Kennie J.D. [did a great video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKbLPfom5Bw&t=5311s) that goes over it. And because she’s a POC she addresses some important aspects that most people have missed in their own critiques. ## Media Corner ### Games Playing: - [[The Division 2]] - **Minecraft Dungeons** ### TV/Film - **Bad Guys 2** - Gonna write about this one at some point! It is early spook month for me, which is why I’m starting some rewatches of horror stuff! - **Scream (2022)** - [[Scream VI (2023)|Scream VI]] - [[Ready or Not (2019)|Ready or Not]] ### Music - **BreakTek** - Qteku - **LUMINES remixes** - Takayuki Nakamura - **ENEMY** - TWICE - **Stellar Box** - Metro Mew ## Status Update Went to my local convention Nan Desu Kan last weekend with a buddy. It made me feel old! I’m not hip to what the kids are loving these days. All the merch I got outside of a Bloodborne standee was about media pre-2010. Oops! Still a fun time though. It’s cool seeing all the cool cosplay everyone puts out. There was tons of [[Kpop Demon Hunters]] stuff this time around, which was funny because I was wearing my shirt under a hoodie. ## Signing Off Hope you’re having a good long weekend!
