A Mint, alone in the apartment…what will he do? I don’t like being alone in here for longer than a few days, because I get bored and antsy. I need someone in my living space or else I stop operating like a normal human being and end up watching bunny cam livestreams at 3AM because I have no one around to judge me for my bad decisions. That said, I’m still normal enough to get a new(s)letter out after a post-Eid break, so let’s get into it! ## Interesting Stuff ### Obsolete Sounds A [collection](https://citiesandmemory.com/obsolete-sounds/) of sounds that have become extinct. It’s very cool! ### Soup of Life [Someone smarter than me will definitely enjoy this](https://soupof.life/). ### Walkman.land [A database of portable pocket audio cassette players](https://walkman.land/). ### Afro Index [I no longer take excuses from artists that say they don’t know how to draw Black people](https://afroindex.org/). Figure it the fuck out. ### Community Rated PICO-8 games I wanna write about PICO-8 in more depth, but in the meantime [peep the games that people like on the system](https://nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Games/Top200/). ### Kagi Small Web Remember StumbleUpon?

Uhh I’ve been in a dungeon grindy sort of mood, hence the **PSP2I** playthrough mentioned above. I’m also thinking about trying **Star Ocean 3** again, but try as I might, I simply don’t understand the game’s combat at all. At this point I just don’t want the game to beat me, so I’ll probably try again out of stubbornness. Hit me up if you have tips. ## Signing Off I hope your Sunday is treating you well!
