I was stoked to boot it up and like…what? It’s such a stupid game on all fronts. I get that stealing mechanics works if you’re into that kind of gameplay, but there’s no way that anyone other than pokemon obsessed people enjoy this. Even then, it’s such a poor analog for actual pokemon games. I feel like it’s “success” is all media buzz. Every actual human in my life agrees it’s terrible. Even my partner who is actually pokemon obsessed lol. But the coverage on the internet would have you believe it’s goty contender. I have never felt more convinced that we are living in a simulation lol. I can’t be alone in this, am I? Is there where I learn that I’m that far out of touch? Like, truly, if you enjoy it, good for you. We all have things we love that others don’t get. But like, someone please tell me I’m not the only one lol.

      Hah, you never know, maybe someday =P

      Though I have apparently become allergic to most beers as I have aged, somehow.

      Basically just about anything I have tried in the last 4 or 5 years results in me feeling hungover about 1/3 of the way through a beer, as well as inflamed, pounding headache, bleck.

      Its for the best. I fortunately never developed an alcohol addicition, but basically all of my fathers, him included, either have been or are massive alcoholics.

      So basically, I can nurse a doubleshot of whiskey, or have a kombucha or something. No horrid allergic reaction to spirits or… fungal alcohol.
