Oh wow! I can't believe this will be a recipe in the book. I'm so excited.

I definitely didn't have one Fast Ball in my inventory and tried to throw it at a legendary in Pokémon Legends Z-A, only to miss the throw because I wasn't actually aiming at the Pokémon. No, not I. 😭

I also didn't just reset my game in shock to redo the entire battle. Definitely not. Nope.

Right? 🫠

The criticism around the price and that they are not available on NSO is valid. I just think some of the other arguments are head scratchers.

Some of the conversation around the FireRed LeafGreen release is really interesting. Do 20 year-old games that aren't remakes (i.e. Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee) require online trading features to bring them up to 2026 standards? I don't think so.

The fact that a FAQ was created shows they know fans.

Mine came a few days ago! I purchased the cardboard one and this one, haha. I haven't had time to open either one to try out Virtual Boy though.

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

The OST for Hades 2 hits so hard! I love playing the soundtracks for both Hades and Hades 2 in the background when I'm doing other tasks. They're also my Amtrak ride sounds of choice. Thank you @darrenkorb.bsky.social for your compositions. 😁

Now, back to tackling the Friday tasks!

It's been almost three weeks without my rollator. I just called the office and asked them to find a new place themselves because finding out at week 3 is ridiculous. They didn't really want to take responsibility and said the office they sent the order to didn't contact them. 🫠

Update on the rollator: My doctor's office called and said the facility they sent the order to doesn't provide rollators and that I need to call my insurance to see who is in network. This isn't how it happened two years ago for me?

So, I have to do EXTRA work to get what I need?

The most ridiculous thing is that I am out of network with my pharmacy benefit manager for some medications, but not others? This isn't explained anywhere and it took me two hours and multiple transfers to learn this. Insurance companies just hope people will give up and not try to get as far as I.

The fact that I spent two hours on this today, and the answer I was given is NOT provided in any of the medical plan guidance through my employer or either of the two insurance companies I had to speak with today is ridiculous.

I wish I had a third choice for insurance, but I don't.

I have been working on getting a medication for two weeks that is administered by my neurologist in office. Everything was fine last year, but I had to switch insurance networks for 2026. It's a long, complicated story, but now I don't know how much I will be charged for the medication.

It's officially been two weeks without my rollator. My doctor's office gave me the number to call to inquire about the order, but it was for a facility that only deals with CPAP machines? 👀

I'm hoping I can get information about a turnaround time. Not having a working rollator is an issue.

Amazon Japan cancelled my order for a vinyl album, and told me to place the order again on a different listing. Apparently, the listing was changed by Sony, so they gave it a new item number? Well, the link they gave me is sold out? 😭

It looks like I can order it somewhere else!

I wear an AFO too. It's helped me walk without using tons of energy. The rollator I have had much longer than the AFO, but it's a seat and it helps me stand and walk without falling over. I get dizzy and tired if I stand for too long.

I hope I get a call in a few days. I really need this device.

My rollator broke almost exactly a week ago. The wheel wasn't turning great, and it finally slid out of the socket. It can't be repaired because the screw is stripped, and a new one is on order. So, I went back to my walking frame and it sucks.

I didn't realize how much I rely on it to get around.

This gives me more time to set up a cool showcase of games for the event. Charity is wonderful, but if I don't have the games lined up (and purchased because I always buy the games myself), then the ability to show off the creative work of some amazing Black devs doesn't happen.

Saying I'm feeling bad is an understatement, honestly. I think my recent posts here already reflect where my head is at. I would like to get back into streaming regularly because I have another idea cooking, before the May activities I involve myself in, that I would love to do.

I was supposed to start my annual Black History Month charity event yesterday. Unfortunately, I've been feeling pretty bad mentally and physically, so I didn't complete my prep for it in January.

I still want to do it, but I might hold it during Black Business Month or UK BHM instead.

Oh, we're getting the serial code bonus for Pokémon Pokopia too? So, I don't have to order a Japanese copy of the game. I wonder if any other retailers will have a pre-order bonus? 👀

I definitely want this game. It's right up my alley.

I still have a lot to say and to offer. There's so much I can still do. I won't let my brain silence me. 😤

I'll find a way!

I think I have finally figured out something I can do that lets me be heard, share knowledge with people, and feel like I'm doing something fulfilling. Now, I just have to put in the work to get the skills I need.

My professional dreams have been taken away by chronic illness several times.

Sometimes, I have a thought I want to get out, but my mouth and brain aren't connecting. It's so hard to explain to people that you want to acknowledge them, but the signals to do it are taking too long! It's really affected my professional goals, so I've had to pivot...again.

My goal was to not stream unless I was going to either change my setup and use a camera or regain the use of my voice for long periods of time. Reading is still difficult, and I'm frustrated about that.

Sometimes, I wake up in the morning and I struggle to speak, so this an ongoing struggle.

I think the last time I streamed using my XLR mic was in the spring of last year. So, I probably messed up something. It was a good test to see how long I could go, of course.

I tried voice-to-text, and that was fine for a bit. It's not a good longterm thing because I use a PNGtuber though.

So, I streamed last week or maybe the week before? (I honestly don't remember. Days are blurring together for me.) And I went back and watched it and the audio was so horrible.

Well, I fixed it, so it's way better now! I can't do a lot with the space I stream in, but I can fix the mic.

Oh, this makes me so happy! I couldn't purchase it during the original run because of university student status, but I'm able to set funds aside this time for the repress. I have so many of your releases like Golden Axe, Policenauts and Space Harrier and they're always high quality. Awesome!

Since October, I have opened 31 packs of Street Fighter amiibo cards and there are two cards I haven't seen and a few, only once. 👀

I wasn't able to get a full set of any Animal Crossing series on my own, I had to trade for them. This time, I have to do it on my own because I can't find traders.

My therapy has always been CBT, but I haven't been since I lost my last therapist. I waited to pursue therapy again until my FND evaluation because I wanted to tailor it to FND this time. Therapy has been a terrible experience for me, but I'm very open to it. So, I can definitely look into DBT.
