sam_bluesky: Ianto Jones working (as in, reading a magazine) (torchwood - ianto does work honest)
[personal profile] sam_bluesky
Mi pokédex regional de Paldea sigue avanzando. Estoy a 15 pokémon de completarla dentro del juego, y unos pocos más en Pokémon Home.

Me quedan algunos pokémon que no he visto, y me sorprende que no me haya cruzado ni de casualidad con ellos. A ver, me sorprende pero tampoco tanto, porque desde que los entrenadores no se tiran a partirte la boca nada más verte me he saltado bastantes. Tampoco ayuda Paldea en general y su geografía en particular, es una región muy vertical con un mapa que no te permite navegar por estratos (el mapa de la pokédex es bueno sólo para volar hasta los cristales y a las ciudades, es bastante deficiente para buscar pokémon específicos), así que la cantidad de recovecos donde pueden esconderse los entrenadores es elevada. Pero, por mucho sentido que tenga, sigue sorprendiéndome. Quiero decir, que me falta por ver Barboach, que es tipo agua, MI tipo ¬¬U Vale que tenía Wooper a mansalva, pero ¿yo haciéndole ascos a un pokémon de agua? Flipo.

Además de la dificultad de adivinar en qué zona del cuadro que marca el mapa de la pokédex realmente aparece el pokémon que buscas, está el tema de que la aparición de los pokémon es a veces un tanto caprichosa. Sí, estoy en la zona correcta, incluso el mini-mapa me indica, via pokédex de proximidad, que el pokémon que busco puede aparecer ahí. Pero, claro, otra cosa es que quiera aparecer ahí. A veces los pokémon de zonas que has dejado atrás aún están en activo para el juego y paseas por zonas desiertas, y luego de repente aparecen pokémon; claro que nunca es el que quieres. Ayer por ejemplo estuve dando tumbos por la Alameda Socarrada en busca de un Leafeon, y al final me harté y evolucioné un Eevee sólo para añadir la ficha en la pokédex y que luego me contara como nativo en Home.

Creo que hoy podré completarla. Lo veo factible, vaya. Es cierto que estoy muy a merced de que aparezcan los pokémon que yo quiero cuando los busque. Pero, teniendo en cuenta que tengo que criar unos cuantos, no descarto yo recurrir a la livedex de Home para acelerar el proceso.

Por otra parte, la pokédex de Pokémon Home sí la tengo un poco más atrasada. El requisito de que los pokémon registrados de una pokédex sean capturados en la tupla de juegos adecuada me está trayendo más trabajo del que esperaba. Sobre todo porque el intercambio por GTS lo hace difícil: puedes pedir que un pokémon sea compatible con gen9, pero no puedes exigir que sea capturado en Escarlata o Púrpura. Muchos de los que son exclusivos de Escarlata los he recibido de otras generaciones, así que tendré que irme de picnic con mis pokémon y un Ditto y esperar que brote la magia.
Hay algunos huecos que me sorprenden, porque estoy convencido que un par de los pokémon que dicen que no he capturado en Paldea sí lo he enviado desde Púrpura, como Bagon. Pero como Home manda por encima de lo que yo crea, tocará capturar algunos pokémon más redundantes.

Pese a todo, no me quedan excesivos huecos en la pokédex regional de Paldea dentro de Pokémon Home.

Si incluímos Noroteo y la Academia Arándano y elevamos la pokédex a categoría nacional (gen9), ya me faltan bastante más. Por suerte, lo que son exclusivos de Escarlata sí los tengo, he terminado ya de hacer intercambios en la GTS de Pokémon Home para conseguir uno de cada.
De nuevo, servirá para la pokédex dentro del juego, pero no todos me han contado para la pokédex de Home porque el juego de origen no es Escarlata. ¿Que podría haber usado la livedex y formdex, que para eso la tengo en Home? Pues sí. He preferido usar la GTS porque tenía esperanzas de que la gente ofreciera pokémon de gen9. Alguno sí ha colado, así que esos que me ahorro de tener que criar.

Miedo me da los juegos donde no tenga la opción de criar, por eso. Que por lo que sé, los Let's Go! son así. Lunitari, dame fuerzas... y pokéballs ¬¬U Y todo para tener un pokémon variocolor que no usaré en ningún sitio ¬¬U Porque para cuando te lo dan, ya has acabado con un juego y no te lo puedes llevar a otro porque tardan en hacer los juegos compatibles entre sí, via Home o no.

A veces me pregunto por qué tengo estas aficiones y por qué me hago esto ¬¬U

Betrayed by fandom osmosis: I thought all the episodes of the last series of Taskmaster were out. Imagine my disappointment when I went looking for episode 10 and realized episode 9 had a timestamp of 5 days ago.

I started watching season 3 of the Australian version, but I kind of don't like anyone in the line-up. Maybe if I give it some time.

*

I haven't seen the last two episodes yet, but I am greatly enjoying Cloudward, Ho on Dropout.

*

Seven months after I stopped playing with my Sunday group (and roughly three after they moved to 7 PM EST and I was fully freed from thinking about rejoining them), I've come to realize how much I dreaded that game, felt judged for my choices, and did not trust the DM with a character I was deeply invested in. I still struggle with my ADHD and general social faux pas (plural) and have moments where I beat myself up or wanna crawl into a hole because I feel I was super annoying/took over too much, but I trust my DMs, I have fun, I look forward to every session. It's much freer.

Rebajas a cholón

sam_bluesky: Sumomo swinging (chobits - swinging sumomo)
[personal profile] sam_bluesky
Llegan las rebajas de Steam, ya sabéis lo que eso significa.



Este es el primer año que no hay nada que me haya tentado lo suficiente como para comprar. Los juegos que hay rebajados de mi lista de deseos (que no son pocos, ni los rebajados ni el total de juegos de la lista ¬¬U incluso quitando los que ya tengo en PlayStation ¬¬U) o no están lo suficientemente rebajados o no me llaman lo suficiente para comprarlos ahora. En gran parte porque tengo dos juegos abiertos que cogí con muchas ganas y que estoy esforzándome por cerrar; disfrutándolos, claro, nada de darse la carrera.

(De hecho, es el primer año que no compro nada ni en las de Primavera ni en las de Verano. Porque algo por menos de 10€ siempre ha caído.)

Y pese a que tengo muchas ganas de seguir con Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 y Fantasy Life i: la pequeña ladrona del tiempo, llevo unos días dando tumbos, videojueguilmente hablando. Parece que quiero reservarme mucho tiempo libre seguido para poder sumergirme en una partida, no en algo que sea entrar y tener que salir porque Responsabilidades o Asuntos Realmente Importantes, y por ende nunca realmente me pongo y hago pequeñas partidas a Mario Kart o un nuevo empujón a la pokédex de Pokémon Home.

Este proyecto de completar las pokédex según dicta Pokémon Home para poder tener legendarios variocolor me está entreteniendo bastante; tanto en el sentido de hacerme perder el tiempo como en el sentido de distraerme y pasar un buen rato. Buscar un pokémon en gen9 es un poco coñazo, uno pensaría que tenerlos siempre visibles en el mapa es bien, pero cuando estás en la zona adecuada y tanto la pokédex como el minimapa te dicen que sí, que allí aparece ese esquivo pokémon, pero por lo que sea no se materializa, pues te toca la moral. Paso mucho tiempo dando tumbos, entrando y saliendo de menús, a ver si así consigo provocar la aparición de un pokémon en particular. Al final acaba todo siendo por casualidad: ayer por ejemplo estuve dando vueltas y vueltas buscando un Numel, y no vi uno hasta que no decidí pasar el rato retando a un entrenador que me había dejado. (En realidad creo que no he luchado contra prácticamente ningún entrenador de Paldea. Tampoco es que merezca la pena, raro es el que tiene dos o más pokémon ¬¬U)

Ahora que estoy casi al final de completar la pokédex de Paldea (la del juego base de Pokémon Púrpura), estoy apoyándome en Pokémon Home para intercambiar los que me faltan. La mayoría son exclusivos de Escarlata, que como sólo tengo empezado pues no los puedo capturar por mí mismo. Y la verdad es que la cosa iba bastante bien porque hasta ayer todos los que había buscado y cambiado por Home me estaban contando al ser capturados también en Paldea. Pero por lo que sea ahora pedirlos compatibles con gen9 no está forzando que sean capturados en gen9. La parte buena es que me servirá para completar la pokédex dentro del juego, y que al menos con estos y un Ditto debería poder criar el resto como nativos de gen9 y enviarlos a Home y que cuenten para esa pokédex.

Es bastante engorroso tener que completar dos pokédex diferentes a la vez XD Pero no llevo mal ritmo. Me quedan menos de 40 pokémon en cada una, llevando más avanzada la de Púrpura.

¿Debería haberme dejado como una livedex para que luego tenerlo todo en Escarlata fuese inmediato? Pues sí, la verdad. Pero, siendo sinceros, no esperaba empezar la partida en el cartucho de Escarlata ¬¬U Me compré la doble edición para que mi hermana pudiera jugar si quería sin tener que comprárselo, y cuando se lo pasó estaba tan saturado de Púrpura que no tenía ganas de volver a empezar gen9. En gran parte por el rendimiento en Switch, en otra gran parte por las decisiones que ha tomado esta gen.
Es que, en serio, parece que en esta gen todo está hecho a medias. Te permiten cambiar el estilo de tirar pokéball (la única manera de ser zurdo en el juego), pero cuando montas en Miraidon sigues tirando con la derecha. Y así suma y sigue.
La única suerte que tiene gen9 es que en Switch 2 va más fluída, y por fin moverse por las cajas y organizarlas no supone una experiencia desesperante.

Finished Patlabor the Mobile Police

Today I finished watching Patlabor and it was a very satisfying series to say the least, even though the final episode felt more like a normal instance than having closure after all the aventures and misadventures the team went through. I do believe the episode before the last would had been better left as THE last episode since it closed so nicely in comparison, but I digress.

But for now...




Mission accomplished.

Name: Val

Age: 47

I mostly post about: Being Gen-X, Canadian, ramblings of day to day life, my mental health, sometimes the state of the world (though I try to keep that to a minimum), what I'm currently reading, Nelson shenanigans (my cat)

My hobbies are: I knit and crochet; writing, watching movies/television (mostly drama and British telly), reading, 'cozy' colouring with alcohol markers, music (love to listen to new things)

My fandoms are: I used to be very into fandoms 10 or so years ago, but not so much anymore. It can be exhausting.

I'm looking to meet people who: above all, are kind. 20+ of age, and have some interests in common. It would be ideal if you like to comment on entries.

My posting schedule tends to be: aiming for daily, but likely a few times a week. I'm journaling again at the suggestion of my therapist.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: the usual: racism, anti-LGBTQIA+. I used to be a big Harry Potter fan, but no longer and I generally stay away from those who still embrace the fandom, JKR, and the books/movies.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a very kind and sensitive person and try to be thoughtful and respectful when commenting on others entries, so I hope to receive the same in return. Also, I have an odd sense of humour and I use "LOL" and "<3" a lot.

Came accross this cropped screenshot someone mentioned was from Patlabor on which two very familiar looking girls are passing by. Not sure of this was a dedicated cameo or just coincidence, but am trying to see what episode and sweies from Patlabor its from.

Its still pretty neat.

EDIT: Thanks to a reply below, I got told its most likely from episode 2 of the Patlabor OVA.

[personal profile] theharbourreader posting in [community profile] addme
Name: Blythe
Age: 37

I mostly post about:
Life on the Cornish coast, daily swims in the sea, studio days at the pottery wheel, what’s blooming in the garden, what I’m reading (mostly mid-century women writers), the small rituals that keep me steady, and occasional thoughts on slow living and soft rebellion.

My hobbies are:
Ceramics, sea swimming, baking things that go with tea, reading literary fiction (especially anything with layered domestic dynamics and quiet emotional collapse), pressing flowers into notebooks, and making seasonal playlists.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Write or read with heart, find beauty in the everyday, value kindness, know the pleasure of a well-brewed pot of tea, or also spend entire evenings choosing which notebook to start. Anyone who understands that joy and sadness often walk hand in hand.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Softly inconsistent— I'm aiming for 2-3x week, sometimes once a week, sometimes three times in a day if I’m feeling chatty or emotionally unspooled. Usually seasonal—more reflective in winter, more playful in summer.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty, racism, snobbery, homophobia, transphobia, or taking yourself far too seriously. I’m not here for edge for edge’s sake.

Before adding me, you should know:
I write a little like I talk—long, meandering, full of parentheses and feelings. I will absolutely comment on your post about moss or jam or the book you half-finished three years ago. I’m not perfect, but I’m trying to be soft on purpose.

Spring anime, and into summer

(Crossposted from my journal.)

Apocalypse Hotel was great. Just great. Go watch it. It's definitely on my Hugo ballot next year.

Kowloon Generic Romance ended very well, even if the finale didn't quite have time to spell out every last detail of what was going on. Presumably the manga, which is ending soon, will be able to explain better. Recommended with some disclaimers: there are some very male-gaze camera angles at first but they stop after episode 2, and there is someone who initially appears to be a depressingly stereotypical queer villain but ultimately becomes three-dimensional and far more sympathetic.

Zatsu Tabi continued to be exactly what it appeared to be, a low-key story about travel and introduction to some of Japan's lesser-known tourist attractions.

Sword of the Demon Hunter is continuing into summer, but I have to say this: The choice to fridge someone in the first episode wound up feeling more and more out of place as the story went on. The subsequent story isn't grimdark at all; eventually it's about a guy hanging out in a soba shop with his friends and taking on jobs with an emphasis on how his work heals the community. Even the demons are mostly sympathetic at this point. So I'm not sure why the author chose to do that, other than he couldn't think of another way to get the protagonist out of his comortable village life and out into the world.

For next season, the shows I'm looking at fall into three categories:

Shows I am truly interested in checking out: Bullet/Bullet, Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show, The Earthbound Mole, Onmyo Kaiten Re: Birth Verse
Show I would be checking out if it weren't on Netflix: The Summer Hikaru Died
Shows I should be excited about on paper but am not really: Cute High Earth Defense Club Haikara!, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 part 2, Ruri Rocks
