Documentary - Helvetica (2017) [/] Documentary about the Helvetica font, with a bit of history thrown in for context. Interviews various typographers who use Helvetica or specifically don't and it's interesting views on why people keep using the font (it's extremely readable, you can innovate in other aspects) and why other people don't (it's a staid and emotionless font). Interesting, but not an engrossing documentary.
iOS Game - Armello (2018) [/] A four-player fantasy board game. Play one of the four characters (wolf, rat, rabbit, bear) traveling about the board doing quests, capturing towns, and fighting each other. Each character has their own victory condition. There are three decks (equipment, spells, diplomacy) and various stats. It's a bit of a complicated game.
Twitch - JapaneseTutor [/] A chess streamer though sometimes he plays Rocket League or League of Legends. Mainly does teaching streams though he also plays viewers. JT from when he used to live in Japan and tutored (English I think). JT is pretty friendly and allows more salty language than my comfort zone.
