(I didn't write exactly this - Joshua's much more concise/clear-headed here, and I am guilty of getting very high-minded about it myself. And, tbh, I found the throughline thought as hard to find in writing as all the readers probably did...
But I *almost* did! And people Did Not Like That!)

Promised snaps of the lovely @ongamesjournal.bsky.social Vol 2, where I speak to the excellent Dr Lava of @didyouknowgaming.com and wonderful @tahk0.bsky.social about mystery hunting, data mining, nostalgia, and the fact that mysteries and myths have always been the secret to Pokémon’s wild success.

I liked the early-00s-but-also-late-60s curvy futurism.

Strong Rothko pick! No. 61 at MoCA more or less single-handedly converted me on contemporary art. Like being carried out to sea. May also have been the prior week of E3/jet lag doing that.

Very dorky but found a fun interaction in TCGP this morning. If you and your opponent knock each other out simultaneously (eg via Rocky Helmet) and get 3 points each, it’s a rarely-seen tie. BUT, if one of you gets 4 victory points from it (eg from being on 2VP + KOing an EX card) that person wins.
