Not as insightful since Colin left
Kinda Brilliant
I have been listening to Gamescast since day one. The podcast took a few episodes to find it's feet, but once it did, it quickly became one of the most insightful gaming discussion podcasts on the internet.
Unfortunately Colin left Kinda Funny almost a year ago and some of the show's integrity went with him. Now it is just Greg and Tim that host it, however it is still very much worth listening to, if you can ignore some of the outrageous things that Tim frequently hits out with. It has been good though, to listen to Tim grow as a prevalent voice in the video game journalism echo-chamber.

I Suspect You’ll Enjoy This Book
Yuki has taken on a potentially explosive assault case in which a man is accusing his female boss of assault. Is it as straightforward as it seems? Meanwhile, Lindsay has been given a tip about someone killing the homeless in the city. Unfortunately, the killings are outside of her jurisdiction, and her efforts to investigate start an inner department skirmish. Can she figure out who is killing these people?

Fans of the series will be pleased with the latest outing. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep them reading, and the cases are both compelling. Of course, the usual weaknesses are there, including Cindy and Claire being under used and all the characters being thin. Additionally, I thought the discussion of Yuki’s case was much more graphic than it truly needed to be.

This book has left me speechless, in awe, and in tears. The timeliness of it with the #MarchFor OurLives can not be understated. It reminds us that minorities have been faced with violence for too long and often at the hands of those who are supposed to serve and protect. The diversity of the characters is truely a quilt of the underrepresented within this country. The care and compassion that Oshiro uses to create such deep characters makes a true impact on the reader. As a middle and elementary school teacher I don't think I could use this book to teach but I can recommend it. I think this book needs to be in every high school library in the country though and possibly used in the curriculum . It is a discussion that needs to be opened.
