Getting a professional massage is simultaneously way too expensive and worth every penny

Pineapple coconut La Croix my new mistress

My 5yo nephew caught his first shiny Pokemon ever, a Grimer in the Pokemon Mansion in Let’s Go! When I asked if he wanted to use it on his team he said no and he wants Ditto lol

Rode past this house today that has pterodactyl statues and I’m flabbergasted. They’re the coolest things I’ve ever seen!!!??

Thanks reddit. That’s him

Ah, I didn’t know

The sky was gorgeous this morning

I really want a cool, maybe vintage Utopian Scholastic-y poster but I’m worried the ones I see for sale now are all AIYEE

Game Theory: you get larger and better tenders at Cane’s if you order a Box Combo instead of a Caniac Combo, as they can’t put six large tenders into the container

Welcome home

Welcome home

Finally became Champ in my like, decade-old Emerald save file. I need to finish up Ruby and Sapphire and then I can polish off the living dex

Current state of my unfinished Gen 3 living dex that I started forever ago and decided to get back to, just in time for having to do it again on the switch probably lmao

Today’s

Opened three booster bundles today and got some good stuff, even if Jirachi and Gholdengo are dupes Really happy to pull Celebi (the original is my favorite card) but still feels weird that I’ve opened 52 packs so far and haven’t seen a futuristic rare but oh well! Good stuff!

Years back I played through Platinum and even shiny hunted a Rotom successfully but I wasn’t drawn in. It felt like I was crossing a game off a checklist. Someday I’ll go back, I’ll figure it out

Diamond and Pearl came out eight months after Hurricane Katrina and I just hadn’t gotten back into the groove of Having a Normal Life at that point so I missed out on Pokemon until Heart Gold grabbed me by the neck and pulled me back in

I don’t get how I can frolic around in Hoenn and in Heart Gold for hours just having a good time but thinking about doing so in Sinnoh gives me an allergic reaction I want to acquire a taste for the snow and stone and piano land

I have been informed that Sinnoh Exposure Therapy was exclusive to the years 2006-2008 and I have missed the boat. The doctor is OUT Well NWOW WHAT

I want to like Diamond and Pearl I think I need Sinnoh exposure therapy

These librarians can’t keep abbreviating Banned Book Week like that

People liking my old tweets

Eureka! I’ve figured it out! The Pokemon Legends: ZA DLC was underwhelming because it didn’t have a brand-new, plot-important “Li’l Feller”

Today’s packs were kind to me in exchange for having to wait outside of a store for five hours

First pack of the day from the Target farce I mean event!

Karen should have been the Champion in GSC with an ace Tyranitar. Lance could have either still been the fourth Elite 4 member or a Johto-side secret boss at the Lake of Rage

I’ve been playing Zelda games since I was a wee 90s boy and somehow it took me until Today to realize the Ocarina of Time title theme uses the Zelda 1/Mario 3 whistle jingle

On any given day I can listen to Sunset of Seven Suns and be convinced Deltarune is the greatest video game of all time

Still one of the greatest contributions that homestar runner ever made to culture at large is this image

Five minute shakshuka: cook some eggs in rotel, serve

Opened Pokémon GO while on break and bored and sure, yeah, I’ll take a short walk for an Azelf

I need to get back on my living dex project(s) but I’m having fun farming nuggets and rare candies with five Zigzagoon and a Surskit in Sapphire

I am bringing my OC Cam Mission out of mothballs to-- oh I don't have to censor the word "commission" on this site do I? Anyway I'm opening up 5 slots for Ko-Fi commissions! If you would like any art done, please visit me at: ko-fi.com/shoogles_

Opened 26 packs of 30th Celebration today and didn’t get a SINGLE Classic Collection card? Wacky. I did pull these beauties though hoo wee them’s the good stuff

meowth all curled up

Gimme a Delta Species ROM hack of Gen 3 in the Holon region

Level-5 presentation was BAD omg... like I know they've been pushing gen AI for years, but... how?? They must be getting paid a zillion dollars to promote AI or something because I can't fathom such a crazy fall from grace from a studio that once made such creative and uniquely stylized games...

Me: Oh I want new Pikmin content Nintendo: What if you went TO SCHOOL Me: I...don't want to go to school Nintendo: THIS SCHOOL IS ONLY ON WEEKENDS Me: Wait but that's worse Nintendo: IF YOU MISS IT YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL

The newest addition to my retro binder

I love the switch 2 but its dock sucks balls

Nobody ever hurt me the way Capcom did when they canceled Mega Man Legends 3 and then said it was my fault
