Almost two months later, a new set appears! Hesitantly signaled interest in a static to farm/clear for all the wings and have learned to be a mediocre? Okay? Dancer instead of Paladin and last week we got everyone the Valigarmanda wings, got 6 out of 8 people Everkeep Wings.
So glad to have finally knocked this achievement out about two years after expansion launch. Tried to have it done around launch, but burnt out by the time I got to my last two characters. Just two classes remain now for all 100s/level cap, Red Mage and Pictomancer.
Got my first set of wings in FFXIV tonight, guess it's time to just start learning new Extremes? Everkeep next?
Got my second ever "God Pack" in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Shame I didn't get the immersive I'm missing from Crimson Blaze but I'm happy for the two new additions and some trading fodder. Apologies in advance if I got the terms wrong in the alt text.
With this pull from tonight, I've finally got all the Immersive/3 Star Cards from A Series in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Gotta focus on the ones I'm missing from B Series now, starting with Crimson Blaze (got all of Mega Rising thankfully).
Probably the highest rank I'll get in Pokemon Champion's Doubles, but I was kind of surprised that I can somewhat hold my own against people bringing in their own VGC teams from HOME with the free stuff so far? I do kind of want to dive in, I just gotta figure out where to build my own...
Keep kinda getting kicked in the metaphorical balls be it health related or just love/mental, so I ended up buying myself a Lego set on Valentine's Day as a small treat besides some candy and decided to just sit and build it tonight. Will never not love the Jedi Starfighters.
Was planning to put half my Tax Return into a "high yield" savings, but I guess burning about 2/3rds of it for an MRI to meet my work insurance deductible at the end of the line before it turns over in April is fine too. This tendonitis is really killing me mentally, physically & financially.
Finally got around to playing Skyward Sword HD since I've been itching to play a Zelda game and I didn't feel like diving back into BotW/TotK at the moment. Man I love these goobers. That said though, the control scheme they came up with on Switch for buttons and the like leaves a lot to be desired.
It was fun to join in on @namie.bsky.social 's stream yesterday, haven't had time to play Air Ride too much due to work having been so busy so it was fun to use this as an excuse to join in and play. Shame about that first Gigantes though haha
Happy New Year from the East Coast USA! Rung it in personally watching the New Horizons countdown!
Got to thinking about how close the new year is and how my first instinct is that wow I've accomplished nothing worthwhile this year and just let that line of thinking spiral so now I've made myself sad like a fool. Really need to work on not doing that anymore.
Damn they gave my Grem the Jailbird treatment. Was nice getting this a little earlier than I thought I would, didn't realize the Friends With You Gigi would be so big though. Whenever/If Mumei goes back in stock I'm buying that one but damn tariffs... #gremurins #rkggk
Played a lot of Pokemon Go this weekend, failed to get the two things I mostly wanted from the weekend (shiny costumes Bewear and Shiny Darkrai) but still had a great time overall. Saturday haul below and Sunday to follow:
@theophanyremix.bsky.social out of curiosity are you sharing singles on YouTube music or did YT music combine your stuff with someone else?
So far Celestial Guardians has been nicer to me with the shinies than Shining Revelry was. Second shiny Pokemon card from this set, one more than Revelry! #tcgpocket
Got a couple decent luckies, a shiny Kengaskhan, and then performed "surgery" on my Pokewalker so today was a very productive Pokemon day. Hoping my Pokewalker starts lasting longer again after the cleaning, the 2-4 weeks I was getting out of it was definitely a disappointment.
Liko from the Pokemon Horizons anime, one of the new main characters. Photobombs will spawn one of the five Pokemon in this @leekduck.com infographic.
Had a pretty decent Ralts Community Day yesterday, annoyed that I forgot my battery pack at home so I had to spend part of it sitting in my truck charging since Pokemon Go just eats so much battery now. Probably the best and last Articuno I'll get Dynamax wise for a while though.
Adding onto the Pokemon brainrot, I managed to very quickly knock out the 5 wins in a row event despite it being Day 1. Pikachu EX/Zapdos EX/Electrode felt nasty to pilot but I can't deny it's results. I guess my penance will be building less sweaty decks and queuing to assist others in their climb.
Managed to trio Dynamax Articuno tonight in Pokemon Go with a local and his wife, got garbage Articuno but at least I've got them. Just really starting to wish I could store more Max Particles so I could power them up or alternatively do more of these without splurging coins.
I earned enough hourglasses in Pokemon TCG Pocket to do another ten pack pull and managed to snag my first "God pack". Couple packs later I got the Articuno and Immersive Mewtwo along with a Beedrill card I was missing out of the Mewtwo packs.
Pokemon Go Community Day 2 shiny haul! More Ponyta than I wanted and no hundos today, but I'm sitting on some tasks plus that timed research so maybe some good luck in the next couple days?
Good day in Pokemon Go today! Sat down and finally grinded out the PvP wins needed for rank 10 to hit 50. Shiny haul from Day 1 (rip no Rowlet) and a new hundo for the collection!
Go Wild Area was pretty good. Did six Gigantimax raids (5 Lowkey, 1 Amped 😔) and got several hundos for once. I think that Mamoswine is my first shundo too.
Got my 45 wins in the Versus event going on in Pokemon TCG Pocket, now I can be less annoyed at running into a Mewtwo deck or losing turn 1 to a lucky Misty deck before I even get a go.
