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](https://cobblemon.com/en) goes crazy. ### Eldiron [An open-source retro CRPG game engine](https://gamefromscratch.com/eldiron-free-and-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](https://ko-fi.com/nemo622).

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. ## Signing Off Off to play more **Pokemon Black** now.
