All's well here at The Dispatch. The snails are trying to settle any grievances that they have with one another in an attempt to make things right. We think this has something to do with the "mole" they were apparently trying to weed out last week. We can't get a handle of what kind of drama they're all going through right now, but it seems good that they are all apparently trying to earnestly make amends.

Game Boy 👾

• Magic: The Gathering
  • Drafted some of the new set on Arena
  • Also went in person to the game shop downtown and did a draft with people there; was very fun but sort of hard to keep up with all of the fiddly bits of rules for this set
• Starfield
  • Have started and gotten really into this
  • Feels a lot like the gameplay loop of Skyrim, but some nice fast travel options and cooler graphics
  • Story feels, if not compelling, at least dense and interesting aesthetically
