Hope everyone survived Black Friday and Cyber Monday madness, but more importantly I hope your wallets survived. Personally I have about 70 or more books headed towards me, but hey I’m a reading fiend this year. I found two great Kickstarter projects I backed this week, and from here on out they will be given it’s own section when I find a project that I personally back. Red Velvet fans, of the K-Pop group and not the dessert, will be happy by one of the videos included this week.

• One of my favorite K-Pop sings joined Twitch and she streams a lot of PUBG. Hong Jin Young, the K-Pop Trot singer has already surged to thousands of viewers and a subscription button. Check out her Twitch Channel and enjoy the fun.
• Khee Hoon Chan over at Unwinnable talks about The Significance of Raji’s Indian Heroine for an active Kickstarter Project trying to fund an action-adventure game called Raji: An Ancient Epic.
• AAA game developers and publishers have been pushing me away more and more, what with loot boxes becoming over saturated gambling, and now Destiny 2 developers Bungie admit to hiding a scaling system that was withholding XP from players the more they played. They only turned it off after a Reddit user called them out on it.
• It’s December, and my body is ready for this months comebacks in K-Pop. YangPa is coming back and I about fainted. Soompi compiles a list of who is returning this month.
• Out where I live in Maryland, there is a man who rides his bike everyday. He has been doing it for well over a decade to help with his mental illness, and I even see him on a fairly consistent basis as I am driving around. In fact I saw him on Thanksgiving taking a break to pick up trash on the ground. Whenever I see him out, I can’t help but smile.
