It looks like the article was written by an Alexa Turing, which could be a real name… but seems a little bit too on the nose.

Edit: yeah, it’s satire, check the community about section.

Yep we pretty old now lol.

So many of the things they did in gen 3 (and started in gen 2) like the weather, secret bases, and the daily events and activities (Lilycove lottery, TV announcements, outbreaks) added so much depth to the game.

It’s like a pure version of modern daily activities in games, without all the toxicity. And they did this all on cartridges with built in batteries.

That’s true, but from what I remember wasn’t super intuitive. Maybe I’m wrong though - I was a child the last time I ran through it all.

Get ready for the brass section when you play Emerald! Memes aside - the Hoenn soundtracks are some of the coziest, most nostalgic set of songs.

I think it’s fun to do the brail puzzles without looking up the solutions online - other than a brail alphabet.

I hope you enjoy! It’s kinda like an environmentalist’s Roadside Picnic.

Highly recommend the first book that the movie was based on. To a certain extent enjoyed the two sequels of the original trilogy.

Jeff Vandermere just released a new prequel book called Absolution that was a little bit tougher of a read for me for some reason (probably because it has been nearly 8 years since I read the original series), but still fascinating if you like the area X books.

He has some other weird fiction books that are definitely worth scoping out too: Borne is very different from annihilation but the characters have really stuck in my head since I read it. Almost everything he touches seems to touch on humanity’s relationship with the environment.

Does SSX count as a racing game?

If so, SSX was huge for my prepubescent self.

Absolutely love this album. This song, in circles, and wood and wire are some of my favorites.

When this album got leaked, there was this “You are listening to a Vagrant Records advance promotional stream” message that would play about every 45 seconds that I have strange nostalgia for.
