| Sudomemo & The Flipnote Archive with Austin Burk, Pokémon Presents Breakdown | 02 Mar 2025 | 02:10:47 | |
It's a real treat when something genuinely good manages to shine its light through the darkness of the modern Internet. I was thrilled to chat with Austin "Sudofox" Burk about what they've built with Sudomemo and The Flipnote Archive, the preservation of Flipnotes, Nintendo history and the amazing community that has been built around it all. Plus: a full breakdown of this week's Pokémon Presents, thoughts on recent indie games and a whole lot more!
