The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

I've seemingly entered into that phase where I don't play any video games. Been that way for a few weeks now. Don't think bored is the right description. I do have a few games I've picked up on sale to try out. Just not feeling it. Kinda hope it passes soon.

This month, Mr. Kishimoto, the creator of Double Dragon and Renegade (Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun), passed away. To pay tribute to this legendary creator beloved by fans around the world, I’m sharing a video from a few years ago of Yamaoh playing the drums. Thank you for the wonderful memories. R.I.P.
