Been wanting to make a video on in-game encyclopedias for a long time, so I’m happy to have finally done it. Hopefully I did it justice, ‘cause they’re pretty cool.

Also wow, been an eventful week. Got a puppy, for one. He’s pretty young, so he requires a lot of attention, making it harder to find time for personal projects. (Partially why I missed last week’s video.)

Let’s see, I’m pretty sure there was something else I wanted to put here but surprise surprise, it’s slipped my mind. Ah well, guess I’ll leave it here for this week.

Thanks as always for your time. And till next time, take care out there.
