I’m glad OK Go are still going, there’s nobody who does anything like what they do.

I am not into this song at all though, and this video is a terrifying nightmare.

Aardman are the studio behind Wallace and Gromit, absolute artists producing claymation animation.

Hoplite maybe? It’s on mobile but is a lot of fun.

I set up a play-money prediction market on whether this would happen, and it doesn’t look like many people have faith in Musk to pull this one off.

Terra Nil is mentioned in the article but I must give it a recommendation, it’s very chill and restoring a wasteland or ruined city to a thriving ecosystem is a great counterpoint to building a bustling city.

Posting this just because I think it’s a neat little short and the few seconds from 0:50 onwards look like a Ray Harryhausen movie which is cool if that’s the intention. Never thought of Scovillain as scary before.

Right, so I didn’t actually mind the original ENT theme at all during my rewatch earlier this year. Far worse was the outro credits which were deeply jarring every single time.

The revamped theme is appalling though, it’s doubling down on everything that put people off about the original and it’s far, far worse.

Ooh, I wonder ever you get if you fight Mewtwo with Mew. This is only the third Mew I’ve ever owned, and I’ve never trained one before because they felt too precious to sully with battles.

I never really had strong feelings for fighting types, I really like Heracross since gen 2 but even that wasn’ta top favourite. That’s all changed in the last couple of years though, I think Gapdos is great take on a classic, Iron Hands is a competitive monster, and Quaquaval is one of the most fun starters in a while.

Was this game named by a Bojack Horseman character?

Embrace mobile gaming. Especially the classic Nintendo handhelds. I can rock my baby to sleep and play Pokémon Ruby on my GBA at the same time. Embrace RPGs and other games where reaction times don’t matter. If I’m sat in a chair with a sleeping child I can even play a game where reaction speed matters, like Tetris.

Get a flash cart so you don’t have to switch games or carry a library of carts with you. Keep it in your car for play if you’re out a lot. Oh, and get a decent modern screen mod so you can see the screen outside.

YouTube Music. Apple Music and Spotify are both technically better products, but YouTube Music is free with YouTube Premium and so I can save on a music subscription.

Before I made that call I had picked Spotify as it gave me access to a web player, and just worked better on my Google Home speakers.

The only justification I’ve ever been able to think of is Pokémon. The idea is supposed to be that every Pokémon is unique but there’s actually only a limited set of variables to define each individual ‘mon. I can trade you a Zubat I just caught and it can be identical to one that I first caught in Fire Red twenty years ago and have traded through every game since.

If each Pokémon was truly unique and on the blockchain, it could be meaningful in ways they currently aren’t. There could be only one Coalossal that Wolfe Glick won the Player’s Cup with. He could trade it away for charity and someone would pay for it. I could trade Pokémon away and track them as they’re traded around the world.

It’d be cool. But it would not meaningfully make the game more fun. And it’s Nintendo so they’re never going to do blockchain. And that is the best pitch I can give you.

Whenever the RedLetterMedia guys talk Trek it’s a good time. It’s not their bread and butter though.

Portal and Portal 2 must be on this list. If you’ve never played then, you must. It is that simple.
