odds and ends

Flight Rising: Gen 2 of my Breed Out the Ugly Challenge just hatched. One of the three hatchlings inherited runes instead of gembond. Heir CONFIRMED. Gonna get her a mate from Razanei’s line (either a Zeke x Avanc kid, or a Lysander kid (pending hatch results)). I slightly prefer using Lysander’s ki...

shambles

Been kind of a shambles lately, but especially today. I had been planning to go into the office today, but the forecast was single-digit windchill and possibly ice and snow during my commute in, so I decided to pass. I stayed up until 1 am playing Stardew Valley, went to sleep at 2 am, the usual. Wo...

eevee stats & discussion

Our Eevees so far: Sherbet the Sylveon (level 23, no useful passives): A pre-evo we picked up with a master biscuit. Waste of 4k sleep points. PSA: Don’t use master biscuits on pre-evos, they’re typically vastly inferior to a handpicked pokemon with good passives that you evolved yourselfDorito the ...

pokemon masters

I was complaining about pals getting stuck and HGR composed a haiku from my complaints: I hate this fucker / he floats above the feed bin / my game freezes up In any case, our feed bin woes are mostly over, because HGR, newbie, and I beat Palworld over the weekend. The final boss was Victor & ...

the disappearing gun incident of 2024

Last night, HGR, newbie, and I lost to the PIDF tower boss (we timed out). We were preparing to try again when HGR noticed his epic handgun had disappeared from his inventory. Seconds later, I noticed my refined metal pickaxe had also disappeared. They had both been in handheld slot #2. newbie theor...

outside: a log: resolution 2k24 edition

I’ve been cooped up for most of January due to gloomy days + early dusk + extreme cold snap + ice and snow. I still go outside every day, but it’s become increasingly perfunctory (e.g., taking out trash after dark). So my resolution for February is: more outdoors! more daylight! And I’m going to log...

a crash course in pokeball production

Pros to being the zero-attention-span guy who roams everywhere: FIRST IN SQUAD to max out my catch power via finding lifmunk effigies yeahhhh Cons: It’s 2 am, HGR is out of mats for pokeballs, and everyone else is asleep. He keeps asking stuff like “where do we get more paldium?” “where do we mine o...

oh, you’re my best friend, in a world we must defend

It’s the lunar event and a huge explore update dropped on Friday. So I thought, maybe I’ll roll to check it out; I can snag some lunar marks and IBF that litter I have cooking. But we were playing Palworld all weekend and I didn’t want to clock out every half hour to send out my hunters and spend do...
