A great paragraph in the latest newsletter from @geeksandgrounds.bsky.social!

At the end of the day, it's important to remember that law isn't the arbiter of morality. Rules can be legal yet deeply immoral and harmful. Laws and legislation can (and, unfortunately, often do) reflect the biases and injustices that benefit those in power. It's important to ultimately think about -- and follow through with -- ways we can challenge those laws and systems that don't serve us and change them to provide protections for the people who those laws claim to serve.

One of the most adorable games at #PlayNYC this year is @rondosromp.bsky.social. It reminds me a lot of platformer games I played when I was younger! It's also heartwarming to know the main character Rondo was based off the developer's childhood pet dog.

I'm mentioned in this article! Thank you again @shepardcdr.bsky.social for this opportunity.

Mashfiq Ahmed, a teacher with an affinity for Minun, another Pikachu clone from Ruby and Sapphire, recalls that his friends thought it was “weird” that he was fixated on the rodent when playing through Pokémon Emerald. Minun is a sort of gimmick Pokémon that was made to illustrate the double battles added in Generation III, and is often paired with Plusle, who is essentially the Pokémon’s twin, and each one is pretty much useless without the other. For Mashfiq, the connection tied into his family’s Bengali history, and his “daak name” or “call name,” Minhaz, by which his family referred to him.

“Growing up as someone with an uncommon name in the United States, I never really saw it anywhere in public. You would never find ‘Minhaz’ on a keychain in a gift shop or hear it as the name of a character on TV. So seeing a Pokémon with the same first three letters as my daak naam meant the world to 9-year-old me. I immediately nicknamed the Minun I caught ‘Minhaz.’ Looking back as an adult, I realize that what made that connection so meaningful was a sense of representation. I rarely encountered anything that felt connected to my identity, so finding a Pokémon whose name began with “Min” felt special. Even though it was a complete coincidence, it made me feel seen as a kid who almost never saw his name reflected anywhere.”
