But don’t drive yourself into the ground for others and their expectations. But don’t lose your humanity or the will to be kind either. (And repeat)

It’s all contradictory, but it’s all kinda true. And somehow, we’ve gotta make peace with all this.

It all sounds really contradictory though.

Try and care for others, but don’t focus too much on whether the outcomes are 100% perfect, or whether they even actually appreciate it. But still be open to feedback and learning. But don’t be too harsh on good intentions and how much you’ve improved.

The desire to learn and be kind is what can defeat the darkness, but we can’t control others’ actions, and society is a group project. 😣

We can only do our best, really. But you can’t do that 24/7 either, or you’ll burn out.

Thanks! It’s been fun! I stopped doing the story almost immediately, and I’ve just been exploring. 😅

For the past few weeks, I haven’t had much time to play, but now I can (20 hours in so far). I like all the lore tidbits and references I’ve seen so far. The battle mechanics are interesting too.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

This happened to me in Sword with my Zacian. 😬 My recommendation is to use places like the Serebii discord for tradebacks.

Congratulations! 😊

I double-checked the other cards I sleeved from this box, and they were all perfectly fine. It was literally just Stardust’s booster pack that had the glue problem. 😭

Stardust got a few indents on the border from my pulling, so then I ended up cutting the sleeve open from the back to free it. I tried to wash off the glue with a bit of water, but it’s still partially there. The edges are a bit worn now too from pulling it off of the first sleeve. 😔

So it turned out that some of the glue from the booster pack had leaked onto the cards. 😬 I had sleeved Stardust almost instantly, so I didn’t notice. But later, I was trying to adjust its sleeving, and I realized I couldn’t pull Stardust out of the sleeve.

There are probably better options out there for your case, but have you looked into using sites like Redbubble and TeePublic for selling stickers? Copyright would still be an issue (and the stickers would be a lot more basic), but you wouldn’t have to worry about shipping, at least.

Congrats!

I hope I can visit your island! I’ll bring snacks

Pokémon Pokopia seems really cool at least

Also, when I read the news about Home connectivity on Serebii, it sounded like Pokémon in Z-A would not be able to go to any other Pokémon game ever. But it’s similar to transferring from LGPE to SWSH, where they cannot return to previous titles. Transfers to future games are still possible.

Belated happy birthday!
