✏️ From the Author
Hello everyone! Adrian here.
I gave the day off to Brandon today, because not a lot really happened today in the world of video games. Much like yesterday, I’m going to drop a few links that you might be interested in for more research, but for the most part you’ll know what’s up by reading the headline.
If you’d still like something to spend time on, feel free to take a listen to the podcast today (5 minutes). I cover each of the stories below with a little more depth, though most of it is to discuss the recent speedrun WR in Mario Kart 64 which is just a bonkers story.
Hope you’re doing well, and are taking care of yourself :)
