Was going for either 30% Meowth or 20% Growlithe & my 1st 8 phases were nothing but Ekans & Pidgey dupes. Started a little after Christmas 2025 & only today on the final hour of St. David's Day is it over! Part of me's a little sad it came before 100K, but also IT'S OVER IT'S OVER IT'S OVER

And with that, Legends Z-A is finished!! Ended on a rather sour note, unfortunate since some of the decisions made in the DLC were truly baffling, infuriating, & very poorly executed, but overall enjoyed my time with it far more than not! Definitely prefer it to Legends Arceus

100%ed DK Bananza 🥳🍌 Fantastic game, exactly what DK needed as a franchise and what I needed as a stressed wagie coming home after a long day at work Prefer this over Mario Odyssey in all honesty!!

I was never really a particularly mentally stable individual, but this may the evidence needed to admit me into the asylum for good 101% Donkey Kong 64 🥳🥳🍌🦍

And that was Super Mario 3D World!! Absolutely crazy game packed with a ridiculous amount of content & hidden levels - thought I was done 3 times only for another whole new world to unlock! Left Champion Road, Mystery House Marathon & Toad's Fiery Finale to the side - for now...

NUTLORD (crashandcortex) @crashandcortex.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

Bit goofy when everybody else is on Switch 2, but played through Mario 64 for the first time! Never saw the appeal for a long time, but playing through, especially the later levels, I totally get it now! VERY janky, but one of the most important games ever & still really satisfying to play! ❤

Shiny Duskull (March 25th, 2025, 6266 REs) A dream shiny I've wanted to hunt for years, but never had a good excuse to until now - love the blood red in Gen 3! ❤️❤️✨

Shiny Nuzleaf (March 22nd, 2025, 1313 REs) Not the target I wanted here (actually wanted its pre-evo), but still mission accomplished in a roundabout way! Found this while waiting for (I believe) Deadzone top 8 to start!

Shiny Mienfoo (White, March 19th 2025, 235 REs) Yup, not even 2 hours after the 2nd Tranquill I found this gorgeous 1 of a kind shiny!! It looks even better on a DS screen than in pictures 💙🤍

NUTLORD (crashandcortex) @crashandcortex.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

Shiny Tranquill #1 & #2 (White, March 12th & March 19th 2025, 918 for #1, 9861 for #2) 1st was male & 2nd was female, so got both genders even if they weren't my targets!

NUTLORD (crashandcortex) @crashandcortex.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

Forgot to post these when I first got them due to shocking laziness (focused on editing videos instead), but thread of shinies I got last month that I forgot to post about: Klink (White, March 10th 2025, 3551 REs)

NUTLORD (crashandcortex) @crashandcortex.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Got shiny Vullaby on Black at last after 6276 REs, & 31,049 total across 3 phases! 💗✨ So glad to finally be out of Victory Road after nearly a month stuck there! Been having one of the worst weeks of my life mentally, so finding this at last was some reprieve at least!

Shiny Tangela on LeafGreen after 10,672 random encounters! 💚💚 A hunt I've wanted to do for well over a decade yet somehow never got around to until now - better late than never! 1st shiny on this LeafGreen in nearly 6 years - says a lot about how on & off I am with shiny hunting 🫠✨

Went to the Avatar concert with my partner last night - was almost like an out of body experience I adored every second ❤❤❤ Never even watched a second of this show this time last year, & now it's like I've been watching since I was super young, HIGHLY recommend!!!

Some pictures of this BEAUTIFUL shiny - cannot believe it came to me as quickly as it did, I've been SO ungodly lucky during these lock removal Treasures of Ruins hunts, some of the best luck I've ever had in 16 years of shiny hunting!!

NUTLORD (crashandcortex) @crashandcortex.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

On the plus side, this happened yesterday evening... SHINY CHI-YU WITH SHINY LOCK REMOVAL AFTER 201 SRs!!!

NUTLORD (crashandcortex) @crashandcortex.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

SHINY TING-LU AFTER 152 SRs WITH SHINY LOCK REMOVAL WHAT IS GOING ON I thought Chien-Pao was fast at 612 SRs! But this?!!!! INSANE LUCK I don't even have (& would never use) the Shiny Charm either, this is full odds... 😱✨😍

As a bonus, here's my immediate reaction to this gorgeous shiny Wo-Chien:

Shiny Wo-Chien on Violet via shiny lock removal after 5004 soft resets!! 1st shiny of 2024 & a pretty crazy hunt I've been wanting to try for a while! This shiny actually looks gorgeous on a TV, I already love it!! ❤️

Gen 5 regional living dex is complete!! Had this going on in the background, was great to replay Pokemon White again! Levelling up Klang, Vanillish & Pawniard were pain though 🥹 No shinies in this living dex playthrough, though wasn't expecting any since Pearl truly spoiled me in that regard!

King Boo's defo there, he's in the animation preview Metal Virus I agree isn't something he'd realistically use, but I've seen people bring it up as a big win con before when I really don't think it is. Bowser's taken an exploding star to the face, I don't see Eggman firepower being that strong!

110

NUTLORD (crashandcortex) @crashandcortex.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Firmly on Team Bowser myself after some extensive research! Eggman *probably* has the intelligence advantage but it's hard for me to call him smart when he has the Egg Dealer on his resume

Anybody know any solutions to get this Toshiba Canvio 2TB USB hard drive to actually turn on when plugged in as the issue is that it's not even turning on now, it just switched off randomly while plugged in & now won't turn on at all. Am really desperate

NUTLORD (crashandcortex) @crashandcortex.bsky.social · 25/10/2024

Old shiny colours of Timburr, Gurrdurr & Conkeldurr from leaked prototype builds of Black/White - I kind of dig these!

After putting it off for ~3 years, I've finally finished Zelda Breath of the Wild! Had its annoying moments, but none of them mattered when I sat down & let myself get lost in its world for hours & hours. SUCH a satisfying game to play Curious what people think of BOTW nowadays?
