1 is on the importance of Banksy and how they will be talked about 15 years from now (which I presented at our symposium and it became my grad school writing sample)

The other is on Yayoi Kusama and the other.

its funny how I don't have any hard copies of reported scores for any important test I've taken in my adult life but I can hand you hard copies of two different Art History papers I wrote in undergrad my senior year '09/'10. With edit annotations and all.

finally took the final step and registered for the test I need scores for to keep my teaching certification here in WA. Just sucks I wasn't given the option to do it remote. But at least I was able to register for a date that's during spring break.

a 315 minute exam experience. UGH

I dislike that the environment level can go down a level even after it goes up. I went from 8 to 9 then back down to 8 after I did some moving around and it bothered me 🀣

It took a deal of patience on my part. Building homes and having to wait. But I forgot about anything being a home as long as it has walls and a door like DQB did. So I started to do that too! And then trying to get my Pokemon from β€œnice and great” to β€œawesome”.

That’s the best thing about this game. You can play how you want! I’m more of a savor guy especially with how much I’m enjoying this

Can’t tell you how excited I was to control Grace again near the end.

All I hope is that 9 was the send off of the lore that they convoluted and drawn out since RE1.

It’s why I found 7 and 8 so refreshing because while they did ultimately connect to everything. You didn’t know that for a bit.

09.03.2026 17:24 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah. I wanted to move mine into homes too. So that’s what I was doing. And started doing roadwork and pathway stuff.

If they continue to update the game with free content or dlc…then I imagine I’ll be playing this for years 🀀

Yeah I also like that I continued to discover Pokemon there. Not sure if there’s a cap per environment. But it was just nice not to feel like I’ve found them all and need to move on.

I went to the next area but went back and am trying to get my environment level to 10 there. I’m at like 8.5. Will prob go up tomorrow when two buildings finish being built.

REVII still slaps. I still think the Baker family was such a fresh approach for the series to return. Played through the opening this morning on switch 2 and it still hits very well.

A wojack meme of a guy standing in the corner of a room holding a drink and wearing a party cone hat with his two cats standing around the room amongst their cat toys looking blissfully unaware of the human construct of time. The caption reads: they don’t know it’s daylight saving time.

My ditto person sitting on a Pikachu couch in a very empty home in Pokopia. A Bulbasaur is snoozing next to them on the couch. On the wall near Bulbasaur is a sleeping charmander on a white couch.

Can we talk about the Pokopia soundtrack and how S-tier it is? It’s making me wanna play all the pokemon games right now. Really awesome arrangements of classic themes. I keep being surprised
