Corvid question: crow or raven?
We have a mixed population here, so it's hard to tell which is which, and I haven't heard this friend caw or grackle yet.

It's interesting to rewatch this video from 2004 today and compare its predictions with reality: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt3TmUW90B8
(There's also an updated version from 2005 that took things further with local search.)

Just wanted to share this birthday present for my bro, and the accompanying card.

Synth sharks with degauss buttons just below their facescreens, on their snoots.
I'm calling out @Electrum these two sharks for giving me that idea
Pokemon Home, banter
Cosplay Pikachu can't be transferred forward from ORAS unfortunately. So I made it the head of my party and started hatching eggs for transfer.
And then I ran into a trainer battle I'd forgotten, in which I beat a full opposing party with my level 20 frilly Pikachu to finish hatching those eggs.

So let's see what I was using this for at the time, and...

... huh.

It's been 5ever since I've booted Poke Bank. Let's see how hard it is to transfer my Pokemon.
Somehow, I guess I'm still in the initial free trial period?

Our local corvids have declared a truce with our local woodland mammals, and they have found acceptable terms over how to split the birdseed.

gacha games, dragalia lost
Also, the game's dragons and beasties are adorable, and I want to hug most of them.

The biggest one is the game will happily play itself, looping the same quest as many times as I'd like. And since quests and daily rewards give vastly too much free currency, and the payouts for the Monster Hunter event are enormous, it's infinite for as long as I'm willing to leave my phone on its charger.
Which is... not what I expected, really!

Some friends convinced me to pick this up because dragons and because Monster Hunter event, and I am... confused by its business model.
Typically, gacha games are either pay-to-win or have a window where they give you lots of free currency, then slowly shut off the spigot to convert to real money. This one seems to have severe balance issues in favor of the player, especially during events -- meaning I'm now deep in the endgame in a week without paying any real money.

Huh, I did not know "WickedlyFastWiFi" is San Jose's public SSID, and that they deployed it as a municipal service. That's neat.
