Didn’t shoot out a letter last week because I was building a new bed. This week I’ve got a ton of links to share, and some news about the letter for the foreseeable future. Stuuuuuff tiiiiime. --- ## Interesting Stuff ### Waterfox A [privacy-based spin off of Firefox](https://www.waterfox.com/). Good to keep on hand when Firefox inevitably shits the bed thanks to their choices lately. ### Hackdex This site is a [compendium of Pokemon Romhacks](https://www.hackdex.app/). And as a bonus, it even has a built-in patcher to make it easier to get the hacks ready to go so you can play a spin on **Pokemon Emerald** for the 10th time in a row. ### Toonami Aftermath Do you miss Toonami? The likelihood of that answer being “yes” is extremely high if you’re reading this newsletter. Don’t worry: [I’ve got you covered](https://www.toonamiaftermath.com/). ### Historic Aerials [It’s like google earth, but for the past](https://www.historicaerials.com/viewer). I believe it’s US-only though, because of course it is. ### Just Delete Me [A directory that makes it easy to delete shit](https://backgroundchecks.org/justdeleteme/). Good for covering your digital tracks. ### Winamp Skin Museum Take a trip down nostalgia ave with [100k Winamp skins](https://skins.webamp.org/) that definitely whipped the llama’s ass. ### Ancient Earth That link 4 headings up was a fake-out. I am mischievous, and I would [never leave you hanging](https://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth#50). ### Before I Play [This wiki](https://beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Main_Page) gives you general spoiler-free tips for a game before you start playing it. Doesn’t have *every* game, but it’s useful for retro stuff in particular. ## Media Corner ### Games Finished: - [[Tales of Symphonia]] - [[Tales of Destiny — Director Cut]] Playing: - [[Tales of the Abyss]] - **Angeline Era** - **Skate Story** ### TV/Film - [[Chainsaw Man the Movie - Reze]] ### Music - **Ad:House 11** - Various Artists - **Stargaze** - Various Artists - **Slip - Up!** - Ink Slip - **Lucid** - EX-LYD - **Impulse** - Yosi Horikawa - **Eternal Reverie** - TOKiMONSTA - **Octopath Traveler 0 Soundtrack** - Yasunori Nishiki - **Octopath Traveler Arrangements Break & Boosts 3** - Yasunori Nishiki ## Status Update I didn’t have anything planted this week because I’ve spent the past two writing out my favorites of 2025 and preparing my set-ups for 2026. Next week I’ll be posting my favorite games, movies, music, and things, as well as my resolutions for 2026. And then I think I’ll be taking a break from the letter in January. I’ll resume on February. I’m not burnt out or anything — just wanna pace myself and give some time to a new creative pursuit that I want to pick up at the start of the new year. So look out for that. :) ## Signing Off I hope your Sunday is treating you well! [Hit the ko-fi link](https://ko-fi.com/barquq) if you like and want to support this letter. Thanks for reading!
