Sheep

Hello four years later, what have you been up to?

Hey Janna! :) I read your status update on Discord. You ok? :(

Thank you! I'm glad your feeling better. Being sick can be an exhausting prospect, so I kept you in my thoughts. The new year has been nice. We just got back from an Italian Restaurant. I tried Broccoli for the first time. Hurray for healthier eating! Well, trying...at least. It's funny. Another friend said the exact same thing about the wallet. A fear of it getting worn down.

When you say "MD" it makes me think of our state Maryland. (since that's it's abbreviation). It's funny how our brains work. I've never played Fire Emblem. We own most of the major switch library now. The ones that are missing would be Metroid Dread and Mystery Dungeon. Maybe could save it for Zelda when it comes out in May.

Oh that's the worst part about gift cards. Can't pay the exact amount without getting hit with a tax. Did you know Delaware is a tax free state for retail? Many people from our state of Maryland will actually cross over and do shopping there because of it.

♩ ♩ ♩ Here I am awake at 2:00 AM ♩ ♩ ♩ for some reason. I hope your feeling okay. With the sickness and everything.

Okay I think Pokemon wouldn't kill off Ash. Too lighthearted? Then again I'm not the most avid follower of the anime. Maybe there's some darker stuff hidden underneath. From what I recall, the dead member in Avatar was Sokka. Don't know why they picked him. I guess they didn't have much else to write for him anymore. Um also when you get the chance I sent an avatar related gift I got on discord. I thought it was neat.

The pass is still too expensive. (yet here i am still using it so that makes me part of the problem). Christmas was nice. So was New Years. I got a tooooon of giftcards. About $70 worth of E-Shop cards. Thinking about buying the Mystery Dungeon Remake. Or waiting until something interesting comes out this year. But I'm also not the greatest at saving my gift cards. I get tempted to spend them.

Ah I can share the sentiment, I had been sick for a week or so now, but it was just the mild sniffles and all that do I thought I was fine. Well, imagine my shock when yesterday the sickness suddenly cranked itself up to 100 and I was left feeling miserable beginning yesterday late evening aaaa. Didn’t expect this is how my New Years would go but here we are haha.

I hope you get better in time though. ):

I have yet to watch either one of the ones you just mentioned, but it did peak my curiosity so I’ll look into them later o: I guess both Princess Tutu & PMMM were very captivating in that I didn’t expect they would end up with the ending they got. I started both feeling they were cute and endearing, only for them to spiral into this interesting plot that got me hooked. o:

Happy New Years!

Hello there!

Apologies for the randomness of the message, I couldn’t help but notice that after some snooping in my part that you had watched Princess Tutu. It’s not everyday I stumble upon somebody that watched both Princess Tutu and Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I adore both shows plenty, albeit it seems your list makes my own look so small aaa haha

Okay...what does AU ash mean? I tried looking up the term but I find nothing. Oh god this is depressing but imagine if it was a mass time skip and the only thing left of ash is like...a memorial statue or something. Ohhh or what if we see an old version of his pikachu. Okay this is a hilarious thought but what if there's a time skip and everyone else is older, but ash is still 10. Alright now I'm just rambling.

Made any progress with XD? I finished it two times or so over the years. I still like how it looks graphically. GameCube games still look fairly nice. Were you aware the stadium games are coming to expansion pass?

Did you have a nice christmas?

Merry Christmas!

Apparently it's totally confirmed that he won't be returning? I mean, I don't think he'll be totally cast out. I'm sure there will be a cameo or some references. Imagine if it's a huge time skip and suddenly we see adult ash? Like Aang in Legend of Korra. Ohh, or what if they follow Legends and make it in the far past?

Are you playing slow as in exploring a bunch or just minimum sessions? I remember really enjoying it, but it's not a super long game. I wanted to emulate it, but my computer was having difficulty. Oddly, it can run Colosseum.

And yeah it's been a pretty smooth holiday season. Uh...reading more books, playing a rom hack, hobby things. Discovered I love reading (despite not touching a book in like 10 years unless I was forced). There is an illness passing around in my family, hopefully I can duck this but if I come down with sickness then I won't be surprised.

Hey, congrats on finishing! And congrats on the shiny too. I am so close. Arven beat me with his full team of level 60's. I seriously wasn't expecting that. Feels like a champion level fight. So...moving on from him and going to try the last gym. Or maybe the last star base? Whichever I encounter first. I am so slow, but honestly it was just fun getting to play this game.

How did you feel about the last arc of the anime? I wasn't an avid follower, but I did enjoy his team. (Gengar, Dragonite, Lucario, etc). Feels like they really gave him the fan favorites.

Ohh I didn't know you were playing Pokemon XD. Is it your first time playing it? Also curious for which eevee evolution you picked. It's quite a neat starter concept.

Haven't spoken too much lately but I hope your having a wonderful holiday season.

Have you gotten any closer in the last few days? I noticed there are hints that guide you into the right areas. If you check the map it'll say stuff like "This team star boss is considered the most frightening" which is an obvious clue to take them on last. I like playing these games blind so I don't care much for the obscure evolutions. I remember in Sun being forced to look up why my Salandit wouldn't evolve. It was because the gender lock.

What would you think about the anime getting a new protagonist that isn't Ash? Considering recent events it doesn't sound like it would be a bad way to conclude his story.

Well, 25 days until the New Year. This year will be over before we know it. Are you planning on playing anything else after you finish up Gen 9?

Congratulations! How near are you towards finishing the dex? I haven't played in a few days. Nearing the end myself. If I go through a long play session I could probably finish it up today. I didn't enjoy the star bases too much, but thought the idea of gym tests was a unique concept. It was really just a form of gym puzzle that had you wander outside the area. Went a bit out of order. I did the water gym before electric.

Yeah, 24 days until Christmas. I like seeing the local houses decorated with lights. I might switch to an electric toothbrush. Is there a real benefit?

Sadly, this has been going on since our dog was 1 year old. Every year we've done the treatment hoping she'll finally be clear of this. It keeps coming back the same and we have to hope again. She hasn't shown the physical signs of illness yet, but apparently if that starts it's too late and she won't be able to heal.

Hope you're well too. Also I have a certain mind condition in my head that I'm dealing with (I don't want to talk about it) so I haven't had the chance to play it right now :(

Helloooo :)
