Unbelievable luck today. I went to pick up a prescription, and just happened to catch a Pokemon card restock as it was happening. There were already folks waiting, but even after they got through, there were still a few items left

They were 3-pack blisters of Phantasmal Flames with a Weavile promo!
Pokemon TCG cards from Phantasmal Flames! There is a promo holo Weavile, a holo Mega Diancie EX, and a holo Toxtricity Below that are reverse holos of Genesect, Dewgong, Archaludon, Lombre, and Buneary. They are mostly covered up with common cards of Lotad and Gligar Lotad's card shows the Pokemon at the edge of a pond, surrounded by flowers like water lilies, bearded iris, and wisteria. Gligar's card shows the Pokemon gliding through a city colored by neon lights

I noticed her in Legends Z-A! Love her Chandelure outfit
A female character in Pokemon Legends Z-A. I think she's just a nameless NPC that competes alongside you in Canari's contest. She has long, deep purple hair with bangs. She's wearing a white outfit with big sleeves, and a hat that looks like a Chandelure

I'm a sucker for offers like this. Buy some Chex and upload your receipt for a free Peanuts Chex tin!! Just gotta wait about 8 weeks for mine to come in 🤞
Art of Snoopy and Woodstock exchanging presents. "Buy 3, get a FREE Chex Party Mix holiday tin!" There is a picture of a circular tin. There's a photo of Chex Mix on the list, and Peanuts characters in winter attire along the side of the tin. Below, there are pictures of products that qualify for the promotion: different varieties of Chex cereal with special art noting the promotion and a Peanuts character on the front.

Finally got around to beating the 7-star Hydreigon in SV with another player. Umbreon used Light Screen and the Calm Mind/Stored Power combo. Hisuian Goodra used Skitter Smack and Acid Spray to debuff, Life Dew to heal. Took a while, but an easy win!
Hydreigon's status screen. Level 100, Poison tera type Third page of Hydreigon's status screen. It's Modest by nature and was caught in a crystal cavern. Its assigned mark is the Mightiest Mark

Had a dream that Metroid released a companion anime series but it had a 1970s art style

Stopped playing Pokemon TCG Pocket for a while but trying to get back into it. I opened ten packs and one was a god pack!!

It's definitely a fun little app considering real life Pokemon cards are still nigh impossible to find at retailers
Some of the results of opening ten packs are visible. Some of pack 7 are cut off but you can see Sandslash and Furfrou Pack 8 has five full-art cards! Luxray, Hitmonchan, Corviknight, Rapidash, and Makuhita Part of pack 9 is cut off but you can see Bewear, Pansear, Misdreavus, Silcoon, and a full art Corviknight again

Yoshiki is dealing with family problems, teenage love, grief, and supernatural terror all at once. Everyday, mundane worries mix with paranormal stressors in a familiar and unsettling way

We're a bit late but currently watching "The Summer Hikaru Died". I haven't heard much about it, just seen it mentioned here and there, but it seems pretty popular

I think it's a really great show so far! It's a small-town supernatural high school horror love story??
Promotional poster art for "The Summer Hikaru Died" - the top half shows the two main characters, Hikaru and Yoshiki, walking their bicycles down a wooded path in sunset. The lower half depicts some supporting characters, their profiles appearing in the shadows cast by the two boys above. The setting sun's glare in the dead center of the poster looks almost like an almond-shaped slit. Creepy alien-like organic matter spreads in the lower-left corner of the poster.

One more Pokemon Go post... When I hit level 50 before the level update, I got the special research. One of the tasks was to catch 5000 Pokemon and I finally completed it this weekend

It gave me 10 raid passes, which is nice for my current level-up task of winning 30 raids!

Aside from that... I finally caught a shiny Durant!! Been trying to get one for years!

And when Gigantamax Garbodor came around, I wasn't feeling good enough to go out raiding. But I did some remote raids, and my very first one was a shiny!!

It's still technically Halloween!! I finished carving this just in time!

I know I didn't have time to work on it last year. I think I started it the year before. Glad I finally finished it

Still need to find some lights for it

Just watched the video

Mass crafting?
Sidestepping while terraforming?
More storage?
Reset service?
Extra sandbox islands??
Zelda, Splatoon, Lego collabs and old Nintendo items??

What a big update!!
