Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 01/10/2026September album quilt. I love the new Team Dresch and Tom Morello albums. I had never heard of Speed Stroke before but their new album is a ton of fun. I like the new The Tremolo Beer Gut a lot and greatly respect their commitment to the bit of just always reusing the same album art for 30 years. 110
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 29/09/2026I picked up a pack of Pokémon Kisses and the first one I got was Gloom. Might be a bad omen. 201
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 28/09/2026The Global Challenge kicked my ass. Lost an embarrassing 20 games. Took notes on losses to see how to improve later but seems like the only take away is don't rely on Muddy Water. Anyway, posting it all here so that the timeline isn't all people with 40+ wins making the rest of us feel bad. 110
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 17/09/2026Oh, and the app that was mentioned in the X post that we now have to tie our Champions account to also has an unused news section. 030
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 17/09/2026I am begging @play.pokemon.com to put important updates like this on their official sites (they have so many!) and not exclusively on terrible sites that require log ins like X. 140
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 13/09/2026Now to kill 2 hours watching football nextdoor waiting for the challenge to start. I'm sure it'll go better for me. 120
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 08/09/2026The confirmed it last week! www.pokemon.com/us/news/get-... 110
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 06/09/2026Looking at the early Seattle area VGC locals for this season and you don't know how thankful I am for more weekday and afternoon Challenges this year. Now if we can just get some Cups outside of work hours I'd be in buisness. 020
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 02/09/2026It's been fun using last.fm to track stuff again this year. It's also led to me buying a ton more old CDs and new stuff from bandcamp. Anyway, here are my most listened to albums for August. 251
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 30/08/2026Made it to Ballhalla. Apparently I have an entire section to myself. 241
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 29/08/2026I'm never remember to take pictures at these things, but this was made for me. 151
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 24/08/2026Alright this has been sitting untouched in the bottom of my closet for 10 years. Do I bust it out for Worlds in San Francisco this week? Or do I keep it in storage thinking it'll be worth something eventually? 310
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 15/08/2026Sometimes I feel like a bad season ticket holder. It's been a month since I was able to make it for a game... and that was an away game. But we're here for the first of 2 this weekend. 110
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 10/08/2026All signed up for the worst shopping experience of the year! 220
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 28/07/2026Looks at usage data: Wow, I can't believe Rotom-W is so low. It's strong into most of the top mons and it pairs with everything. Plays a few battles, Rotom hits 2 for 4 on WoW and 1 for 7 with Hydro Pump: Okay maybe the usage is right where it should be. 010
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 15/07/2026I didn't realize how small this place is compared to Climate Pledge. 020
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 14/07/2026I've gone every year since 2010 (usually as a player) and this year has been the worst to buy tickets for despite the earlier than normal announcement. They even announced a presale for early bird prices, before indefinitely postponing it the day they were supposed to go up! 000
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 29/06/2026Taro is visiting for a day and the pet store got new toys in neither of us could resist. 261
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 15/06/2026I went to VGC Nationals/NAIC 12 years in a row but skipped the last 2 years. They're doing this to bring me back specifically. You're welcome Chicago. 151
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 05/06/2026Oh it's Corgi day? Have a few of my favorite old Taro pics. 2111
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 21/05/2026Both my legs cramped jogging but I made it only slightly late. 020
Dr Fidget @lavapool.party · 19/05/2026He doesn't know he's about to go home. He just got absolutely spoiled at the pet store though. 060
