Feel Right.

Recently, some nerds figured out that if you build a robot that can mash videogame controllers 8,000 times per second, you can beat games like Super Mario Brothers 3 in less than a second.

Kind of makes you want to go ahead and shift focus away from tracking Pokemon and towards tracking a Pokemon Go defeating robot. That way you can catch ’em all ASAP and get back to enjoying your time outside the house more fully.

Here’s some things worth putting the Pokeballs away for — even temporarily. — Cory Graves

Deep Ellum Pub Crawl: Swimsuit Edition at Twilite Lounge
It’s time to release the flow at Deep Ellum’s monthly pub crawl.

The flow should be quite heavy, if you’re lucky. — SJ

Ace Atkins at The Wild Detectives (Free)
Ace Atkins is one of the best crime fiction writers in the business and he will be here for a reading. The New York Times bestselling author will go through his newest book, The Innocents.

Unlike needing a cable subscription back then, though, this showing is free to attend. — Pete Freedman
