*Love* our latest from @pokachee.bsky.social, about a type of fanwork that's massively popular but one I rarely see discussed in convos about transformative fandom. Fangames are technically interesting—literally using the source material in modding—but even more so from a community/fandom angle:

Pokémon Fangames Evolve Beyond Their Origins

For fangame creators, the work they develop and the communities they inspire are inextricably tied.

Just saw that @kellymerka.bsky.social's great Sable piece is available today, give it a read! Very thoughtful breakdown on how the game's world reflects its history and creates a tangible sense of time having passed on this whole planet: unwinnable.com/2026/09/28/t...

Today's Random #Netrunner Card of the indefinite time period is from the latter period of the FFG days, and I think it's the first REGION we've had... maybe even the first Upgrade! This one is pretty straightforward so let's dig in a little, starting with Upgrade/Region.

Navi Mumbai City Grid Netrunner card. The card art is an aerial shot of a futuristic city, with air traffic weaving its way across skyways between high-rise buildings.

Navi Mumbai City Grid is an NBN faction Upgrade (Region) with a res cost of 2 and a trash cost of 3. During a run on this server, the Runner cannot use paid abilities on non-icebreaker cards. Limit 1 region per server.

So, the most interesting thing about this game (of which there are many) is that it very deliberately tackles something that gets a lot of conversational support but ends up being a lot more complicated to pull off in practice, and that's positive, contributory adventuring.

Since the Zelda 40th anniversary stream is happening... This is the first (and only?) American review of the original Legend of Zelda, from the August 1987 issue of Computer Entertainer. The reviewer praised its "mythic aura" and "fairy-tale quality." Read the full issue: ow.ly/tg3s50ZJMSY

"THE LEGEND OF ZELDA (***1/2/****) from Nintendo for the NES is THE most eagerly anticipated title yet released for the system. With all the hoopla, including golden package and matching golden cartridge, we just didn't feel right about playing the game with our usual review set-up: NES Control Deck hooked up to a modest, 12-inch composite monitor. So we dragged the deck into the living room, connected it to a 27-inch Sony monitor/receiver, and dared Nintendo to impress us. Not only did Nintendo impress us with the many wonders of ZELDA, but they also managed to get us totally hooked on this excellent game. Imagine a great adventure: the rescue of the princess Zelda, the recovery of the Triforce of Wisdom, the defeat of of an evil prince. Imagine yourself as Link, the young hero about to set out on this adventure, with all 97-plus screens of the Hyrulean Overworld to explore and nine levels of multi-screen labyrinths in the Underworld as well."

"Alone in the Forest
The story begins with young Link alone and unarmed in a forest clearing. If he enters the cave at one edge of the clearng, he can find a sword and begin his adventure. As an inexperienced young hero, he will suffer many defeats in the early going. The forests are full of dangerous creatures. The lakes harbor nasty monsters that shoot balls at Link. But there are jewels and other goodies to be found by slaying the creatures, and jewels can buy useful items sold by merchants in some of the caves. After wandering for a while (or following the directions in the instruction book), Link can find the entrance to the first underground labyrinth. In the Underworld, the player has an overhead view into the chambers, which are full of many surprises and more nasty creatures of all kinds. The trip through a labyrinth is a treasure hunt, with a Triforce segment the ultimate treasure to be gained. Along the way, there are monsters to fight, secret doors to discover, and plenty of frustration. As Link gathers treasures, new weapons, and experience, he is able to venture into new places and make new discoveries. Thanks to the built-in battery in the cartridge, the objects that Link accumulates are saved from one playing session to the next. It's a good thing they are saved for Link, because it would be impossible to complete this game in one sitting. (The battery also allows you to save three "Link" characters.) Players are also aided by maps and hints included in the package."

"Fairy-Tale Quality
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA has a beautiful, fairy-tale quality that we found very appealing. As an adventure, it has more to offer than the typical hack-and-slash epics because of its special mythic aura that carries you into the story. And ZELDA offers an incredibly rich, deep gaming experience that goes far beyond the typical cartridge game. The game is well supported by charming graphics, superb original music, excellent animation, and smooth transitions in scrolling between locations. We believe that THE LEGEND OF ZELDA will appeal to both male and female players of all ages. It has a very special kind of magic that makes it a "must-have" for every owner of the Nintendo Entertainment System. (Solo play; Pause.) Recommended. (MSR $44.95)"
