The gods of temptation tried their best earlier when I made a store run for medicine. Being an adult with adult money for my hobbies and passions is great. Being an adult with adult money but needing to stay responsible is painful.

Got ahead of myself! Before Veilstone, I need to clear the Team Galactic building here in Eterna City. My team so far after two gym badges! Fun fact: I’ve never, in 30 years of Pokemon enjoyment, given any of mine a nickname.

Casual reminder that my millennial roots run deep.

What Pokémon would you choose as your first partner that isn’t a starter? Been a Chinchou fan since G/S released because who doesn’t love a water AND electric type that is also adorable?

Playing Pokemon Y earlier today was a lot of fun. Been a while since I’ve enjoyed Pokemon, in spite of it being one of my favorite franchises. Firing up Pokemon Shining Pearl this evening. Trying to turn this spark into a roaring fire. Pokemon will always mean a lot to me. I’m glad to be back!

Conf call time means time to start a run through Y. Plus, I’m hoping it reignites my love for Pokemon. Over the last year or so, I’ve become distant from Pokemon. It just doesn’t feel the same. It’s one of my favorite franchises though, so I’m hoping to fall in love all over again!

“I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3,000 years ago.” It is nice to play it on a monitor via the NSO GB emulator, though.

Never forget where you come from.

Digging through a couple of old gaming containers of mine and I came across a few pieces of treasure! Really need to get a working PSP now. Mine went kaput years ago.

My Steven Universe blind bag pickups from yesterday. Solid start to the collection! Now, to resist going back for more. Jk. I’m going back for more.

The perfect after lunch discovery.

Took me longer to get down there than I thought but success was had!! My wallet is gonna hurt!

Oh, yeah. It’s all coming together.

I’m about to have a killer lunch.

A new ACNL village in 2026 is a wonderful feeling. Still my favorite AC title!

Sad times. My trusty Majora’s Mask 3DSXL no longer can hold much of a charge without being constantly plugged in. Time to order a replacement battery! This is my favorite handheld I own and I have every intention of seeing it passed down to my kids and grandkids.

When work was a bit too much, you turn the therapy gaming up to 11. For a little while, at least. Then it’s back to hunting some monsters on MHRise!

Extremely Southern bumper sticker OR the name of an amazing JRPG/Anime. You decide!

Easily the best part of MH Rise.

It’s a good Saturday, when you let it be.

The excitement within me is uncontainable. Weekend pass bought. Now I enter a state of patient meditation for three months. And a happy weekend to all of you!

Finally. Next up: Scotland and England. And Cabo Verde, of course.

Writing. Sketching. Thinking about emotions and feelings, diving into memories.

Three hours of sleep somehow full of dreams of better times with my partner can lead to some choice 3am writing.

Some new writings. Good morning. Today feels like a day for coffee, a journal, and wandering. Let’s get into it.

Chris John @chrisjohn.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

I did a doodle. It felt good to do a doodle. I’m going to doodle more on this doodle.

I wrote something late last night. I’ll share it here. Been a poet/writer since I was 16. Published a few books of poetry. Nothing great. It’s been several months since I put pen to paper. Forcing myself to get back into it. Maybe it’ll help with my mental health issues.

Chris John @chrisjohn.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

I didn’t get a new Gunpla kit today, but I did walk away with a new sketch book/journal. I’m a writer and I will never pass up a new notebook opportunity!

On a musical note (see what I did there?), the new Modest Mouse album is absolutely brilliant.

Home from work. Playing some DQ1 while waiting for SGF to get here. Hey, it’s cool to do things you love. And it’s even cooler to share those things with friends and people you love. Do that. Don’t hide anything about who you are.

Horrible day at work means a small pick me up at the bookstore.

When your 4 year old daughter wants to paint your nails, you let your 4 year old daughter paint your nails. These are just the rules. I dig the color, too.

State of Play expectations: none. State of Play hopes: a standalone Triple Triad game.

Kagurabachi is such a great manga. Great story. Great art. Great emotion. It’s pretty great.

Sick Day Game Rotation. This plus some high blood pressure cold meds (which really, really don’t work as well as regular cold meds…which is rude) and lots of fluids. This is what shall heal me.

Time to get back on Mina the Hollower. It cushions the blow that even though I’m dying repeatedly at breakneck speeds, the game IS adorable.
