🙋‍♂️ Talking to new friends!

Slix grinning happily because Superman ice cream is in hand.

A stack of shelves with tons of iPods of various types. One iPod Classic is plugged into an iPod Hi-Fi playing "Tonight (Young Hearts) by The Colourist. There are various Pokémon plushies, books, games, and toys on the shelves as well.

Slix happy because he's outside of a new Apple Store he visited.

I posted this video on YouTube last night and it has gone pseudo-viral apparently? It has 17,000 views right now and it's still climbing. I don't quite understand how, but I'm glad it was a silly video I made that got some traction at least. :P

My 2012 AirPort Expresses retain a more consistent AirPlay 2 connection without the music cutting out than my 2 HomePods from 2021 still getting software updates. Make it make sense.

It's ok. I Got my game on Thursday and I'm not very far either. I keep getting distracted by in game tasks so I haven't done much actual story yet. :P

Fulfilling! I had enough breaks in between everything so it didn’t feel too exhausting.

Man, do I not miss that camera at all (I used mine every day for almost 5 years), but it does have a nostalgic look to the photos still for me haha.

Slix @slix.poliwager.net · 1d

I saw my family, prepared my house some more for a party tomorrow, went for a walk, and in the evening I ushered and helped do tear down for the stage for a local concert! Busy day!

The band Maroon 5 was previously known as Kara's Flowers in the 90s before James Valentine joined, and I still think their music was better as Kara's Flowers than Maroon 5's music, at least their later stuff.

It’s been fun so far!!

Slix @slix.poliwager.net · 3d

Yes! Pokémon Legends: Z-A came out yesterday!

Slix @slix.poliwager.net · 4d

Went to pick up Pokémon Legends: Z-A!

The box stands for Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile in a store.

My copy of Legends: Z-A for Nintendo Switch 1.

People be like "Pokémon Legends: Z-A Day two!" and I just woke up and won't get the game until the store opens in 2 hours.

Slix @slix.poliwager.net · 4d

Mine is probably B2W2 but it’s been that since they came out, which was an unpopular opinion at the time… Otherwise probably Pokémon Diamond, honestly. I have put more than 1,000 hours into my copy so it has a lot of stuff attached to it for me.

Slix @slix.poliwager.net · 4d

It says on the pre order I should get the mat, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t be there for me?

And you have twice the storage that I do! Wow! My goal is to use up a ton of Ultra Balls tomorrow while I’m shopping and hopefully be able to spin tomorrow later.

Slix @slix.poliwager.net · 4d

I’m doing the same with Best Buy but 2 hours ahead of you. But that’s assuming I get there and back home after 10 right away, haha we’ll see! Either way I hope you enjoy it! :D

I’m getting the game at 10am (or later, depending on my friends and how the morning shakes out), so you might actually beat me too!

But it also means I don’t get the fun of the new “level curve” because I’m so close to 70 already where the tasks start again. Oh well I guess. Time to burn through those new items to get my bag under control again.

Slix @slix.poliwager.net · 4d

So I’m kinda annoyed that my level in Pokémon GO went from 43 to 68, mainly because I got WAY more items than I know what to do with (I ended up tossing most of the potions and I’m burning through berries and Ultra Balls as we speak).

I caught 23,571 Pokémon, spun 9,695 Poké Stops, and explored 5,721 km since leveling up last.

Some stuff I got from leveling up. Ultra Ball Jacket, 150 Pokémon Storage, 175 Item Bag Storage, and 15 Gift Storage. Why did they make it 75 and not an even 50 or 100?

My bag after getting tons of new items. I had 2,905/1,475. I have since whittled it down to 2,076/1,475 because I tossed most of the Max Potions and Max Revives, used a bunch of Ultra Balls using my Go Plus+, and fed a bunch of berries in Gyms. I usually keep about 70 Max Potions and 70 Max Revives and 40 Ultra Balls, so this is overkill.
