Nearly 3am. Doing a late wind-down. Fighting "just 5 more minutes of game" REEEALLY BADLY.

"but you started a thing" IT'LL BE THERE TOMORROW!
"but what about the other thi--" THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE TOMORROW!!

"... you have a second save file--" I AM NOT PLAYING MORE GAME AT 3AM!!!

"but wages went up!"
"get back to me when you can afford eggs."
"i CAN afford eggs!"
"oh good. go suck an egg."

I'm also extremely grateful at certain beats not being spoiled for me. The few things 'spoiled' weren't truly surprises, there were bigger things I'm happy I got to experience. I hope I've been able to allow this for anyone who still hasn't played. If I spoiled anything big, I am sorry.

Aaaand

Getting them is easy if you want to, and it doesn't mean I'm gonna stop playing. There's post-game, which given it's a Pokemon game, that should be expected.

I'm stopping for the night, though! I need sleep and processing time!

Making me some inverse water-wheels. They turn against the flow, at all times! What fun! #Pokopia

I have two trash gremlins, and I love them. #Pokopia

I don't NEED to play the waiting game, but once I have this new resource I can do the whole run-round, and start the next step of this town. Which isn't so much a town.

JUUUST as I start typing. Perfect timing!

holes can strike at any time. take it from me

This includes things I haven't posted yet, and there's a bunch! It'll happen soon enough but I have an iPad battery issue to resolve.

Alakazam fixated on thinking of elevators, but not knowing why

Dragonite flying alongside Pokopia Ditto (who is imitating Dragonite).

Pokopia has led to a bunch of fanart, haven't drawn this much fanart of a series in ages!

For some reason I've been waking up at 11am for the last week. Not complaining, though it's the exact time the sun is on my face.

Learn about dip switches, guys!

Ah, a well timed Alakazam!

Thank you! 😁 I don't draw the Abra line often, but giving them silly expressions definitely helps!

Alakazam is mildly distressed at only being able to think of one topic.

#Pokopia I mean this is like having an earworm, just.. one thought, only one, and no idea why.

My favourite Zelda game got to the core of what really made the series great...

I only say 'if I don't finish the game' because I can only see two endings really happening, and while I hope for the bittersweet one, I don't expect it.

But I know I'll finish it.
I've been enjoying this too much to not!

ah, lore! #Pokopia
Something that happens now makes sense, even if it has no impact on anything game-wise. Just a nice explanation, a neat little package.

And if I don't finish the game for whatever reason, I can assume @axialmatt.bsky.social was right all along!

I'm going to make this clear.

You cannot support Transgender people if you only support -ONE SIDE- of it.

There are Trans-men. Trans-women. Trans-nonbinaries. And others who fit in the different spectrum.

You cannot erase one or the other and still claim to be an ally. We -ALL- exist.

so their last game was Fantasy Life i, got it.

It's always worrying when items in #Pokopia rely on resources that are finite. But I also now wonder what is going to happen to make that less of a problem, and how soon that's going to materialise.

Also have to stop and eat a lunch.

A photo of a television paused on a scene from TWIN PEAKS where the giant’s head is just out of frame and a cat has popped its head up from behind so it looks like its head is on the giant’s body.

IT IS HAPPENING, AGAIN.

Got another break as Pokemon do tasks for me. Can't do much until they're done, which is a nice break after raiding this town. There's probably other things to do, more to explore, different Pokémon appearing, but I need a small pokébreak. #Pokopia

That is an impressive pidgeon!

how did it do that and not break it's neck?? how did it not even leave the cartoonish face-print just to the side of that perfect wing imprint? a wingprint if you will!

Only reason I've stopped is because I'm waiting on Pokemon to appear. Taking this opportunity to get a decaf, maybe stretch my back some

Up to you! I'm chronically online so you know I'll be watching! 👍

Went to the next town #Pokopia

At this stage, and with how I play, I expect a level of fatigue to set in, too much of the same, after trying to raise the levels of 3 other towns.

So when this place felt like a breath of fresh air, you know these devs were cookin.

still holding out hope for Nintendo to do a Cool Thing for a future Mario Kart World update (repost)

Nice nice! Will it be streamed or life-posted?
