And now I wait for Legends Z-A...

Taking a break from my usual doomscrolling to let you all know that it's now 14 straight seasons of hitting Legend in the silly #PokemonGo game. Went from 2678 starting Wednesday to Legend in the last set last night, capping an 18-7 to reach it. Krook waited four years to be a cheat code.

Look, I knew today was gonna suck. I'm going to try and focus on the good things. I had a good stream today, with some good people in chat. I went positive somehow. And I did this in Marvel Rivals, so go me.

I was sitting in that chair for two hours, passing out presents and talking with my family. I got up for a couple minutes to help my niece try and defeat my dad at Connect 4 and my parents' dog Jessie leaped at the opportunity to reclaim what is apparently her spot. #MerryChristmas #DogDontCare

Mostly I posted that last one because I wanted wish y'all a Happy Holidays and didn't want to burn that joke I had planned but forgot to post. Anyway, here is a photo of my dad going full Santa on my 5-year-old niece's new digital camera.

Look at that! The perfect amount of posts! Surely I should just stop typing anything on this site and let the nice number sit on here forever...

Wait...

I still have my sights set on Vancouver, hopefully I can make a run there. If not, I'll enjoy the company and the food, because that's what keeps me going to events like these. It isn't the game. It isn't the fame. It's the experiences and the people. For them, I'll come back stronger than ever.

But I got to spend time with some of my favorite people in the community, and meet others that I wanted to get to know better. In terms of a birthday weekend, I don't think it could have gone better in that regard. Maybe justifying my $250 dye job by getting me on stage, but still. Was worth.

I haven't said anything on Toronto yet cause sick, but I admit I'm kinda disappointed. T-33 and tied for top woman in the main event with Lilwinery, and then 9th in an 8-top cut in the Sunday Cup. There are things I could have done so much better. It was a stacked field, but I still missed my shot.

Yall don't know how ready I am for Starmie to start popping off in Go Battle League #GBL #PokemonGo #RisingStar

Nice.

What looks like more of a mess right now? Me or the #PokemonGo gamestate? (This is where I tag @itsaxn.bsky.social )

I realize I should probably have a photo of my face on here somewhere for identification purposes, so here's me and Pokemon Go commentator/community mayor Jim "Holesome_" Lawson being real.
