Pokémon Friends is a game about solving Pokémon-themed puzzles. Unlike previous titles Pokémon Trozei and Pokémon Shuffle, it's not a "match three" kind of game overall; there's a lot of 3D shape matching and identifying, some pattern making, some counting things, some "do things in the right order" kind of stuff. A general mishmash of logic puzzles.

The reviews for the app version are abysmal, probably because the free version of the app has very limited play time. Which is why I went for the whole Switch bundle, and also since I generally like these kinds of puzzles.

( My thoughts )

If you're looking for a good set of puzzle games to chill out to on your Switch, though, you'd probably be better off just buying Those Games.

I talked about making this back in January, and here it is! A little zine compelling the stuff I made for

threesentenceficathon!! It’s a little slapdashed, and I’ve leaned to NOT try and make text heavy digital zines with the method I was using this time because WOW is the font size all over the place!!

Hello again (thanks for the collective 'you should probably re-consider this' last time because I kind of needed that), I've got some more weirdly specific questions that I kind of am not sure how to begin tackling:

So one of my characters is a Japanese man who sort of has a thing for schlocky pulpy horror movies, and while I'm aware of some popular-ish examples of sort of cult horror films in Japan ( Like House (1977) or Tetsuo The Iron Man (1989) which vaguely fit his themes of 'being deeply uncomfortable with the world and his body') but these always struck me as kind of obvious and well known even outside of japan and not something someone who was really into weird stuff would actually select as a 'favorite'. For the sake of clarity: this is set in the present so even relatively recent films are okay.

I guess in general I'm looking for recommendations for stuff this sort of guy would be interested in, or at least something that someone who's a bit of a weird horror junkie would consider a personal favorite.

i am movened. hasn't fully sunk in yet. tomorrow the tow truck comes to take away my car, and a friend brings my knitting and some other stuff over. within the next week or so, i am expected to find out whether i get any of the move-out funding i was promised; i am very dubious about all of it at this point. (honestly i'm still kind of astonished the case manager at the shelter actually got me *out* of the shelter without just turfing me out back onto the street. she was very useless.)

the only housemate i have met yet runs a tv in her room, which is directly next to mine, so there is noise, but significantly less noise than at the shelter so far. might still invest in more earplugs but hopefully i will not have to wear them 24/7 anymore.

once i know what my funding situation is like, if i can afford it, i'm going to have leia mail me the cookware and electronics and other stuff she's hanging onto for me. which i think includes a fitted sheet of the correct size? the one they have provided me here is twice the size of my bed, because wherever the case manager went to buy it did not have the correct size in stock. then i will know what all i own and be able to figure out what i still need.

i have gotten my moving date! day after tomorrow. i have stuffed all my things into boxes and bags, which at some point i will put into my car. the roommate who calls 911 about everything has, predictably, called 911 to report that another roommate is forcing me to move out with her despite telling her i wanted to stay ten more days (i said no such thing, you understand, and to my knowledge the other roommate is not moving out). 911 was unimpressed.

of course it's scheduled to be 92°F and thunderstorming on thursday. at this point i don't care. i also have no news about finances, but we'll make it work somehow, i guess.
