Finished the main story parts of Pokémon Legends Z-A and the vast majority of side quests as well, so I'll do some little post game bits like the legendaries and set the rest to the side for later.

Overall a great step forward for Pokémon in characters, structure and story.

I was prepared for my potential life as a housemaid and Lumiose City's other most infamous power bottom.

Unfortunately, I won against Jacinthe.

I’ve come to the conclusion Pokemon Legends Z-A has some of the most memorable and unhinged characters in the whole franchise.

They need to lean into this more in the future.

Do not sleep on Ghost upgrades and evolutions in Ball X Pit. Saved me from this guy’s bullethell antics.

They unsealed her early last night.

She must be sent back to the Christmas dimension

There are times you get a character skin and you just know its going to be the one you use or go back to over all the others, so you may as well just build around them and forget bothering with the rest.

Ione is my Fortnite blorbo. I must accept this.

So I can name my rival “Asshat,“ but not “Assclown.”

Guess Asshat fell out of style.

Finally got my budget Morrigan Aensland a win.

Also, I dropped an airstrike on the player with a crown, then did a ten story drop as Ghostface on the last player. The dropping attack usually whiffs, so crown victory royale :D

Grabbed this the other day with some rebought 😔 games at McKay’s (huge used bookstore/media shop with a few locations in NC).

It actually rather insightful and does more than that 1, 2, 3 stuff. It’s also easy to imagine Stan Lee narrating as you read it.

Star Trek likely wouldn’t have made it this far without women greenlighting it, writing it, kickstarting a fanfic scene, conventions and the letter campaign that stopped cancellations

Mostly Pokemon Legends Z-A, but had the worst match in Fortnite this morning that I still managed to win. Always green level weapons and tiny potions from the whole match, often got chased away from good pick-ups.

Then I got good things in the last few mins rushed the last guy with a chainsaw.

Beating up pokemon trainers to get into and expand the Hex Girl style.

Legends Z-A is now the best Pokemon game. I will conquer the fashion world.

What the fuck. I do not remember this thing. To the box with you for the remainder of this game!

Forgot to cancel this because deep down I'll just get a Pokémon game anyway.

I found the mall and cheaper strip mall minutes later and quickly dropped the DLC costume.

Pokémon Legends Z-A is good so far, though.

I’d rather become a movie slasher. And I did.

Nobody suspects the cheerleader.

Whoever got this in Fortnite is going to be bullied like Cybertruck drivers get bullied. Many Doja Cats, Ghostfaces, and Kpop Demon Hunters shall emerge to hunt Ares down.

“We have Melinoe at home.”

Its the Queen Persephone skin added to Fortnite and actually pretty cool, but c’monnnnn. C’monnnnn! We all see what you’re doing.

I apparently won because despite being in a bright orange dress with a pumpkin on my head in the snow, I could not be found and my opponent gave up looking for me.

Yes, she is carrying four pumpkin spice lattes.

Also that pistol is really a shotgun with the accuracy of a Halo revolver.

I’d also add the new version’s font is way more legible. The actors are from the same kind of talent pool they used for FFXII, XIV, and XVI.

But on PS1, lines would be like:

“Blame yourself. Or God.“

vs. other versions:

“It is your faith that betrays you, not I.”

The latter suits the setting.
