@mdrabbles@mastodon.social Sometimes I just sit there and watch the Pokemon interact for a good 15 minutes, without doing anything but walk around.

@SitaDulip@gamepad.club Get them if you can afford them! I didn't need an electric toothbrush, an air fryer, or an air purifier. But they are not frivolous purchases and have been very useful!
So yesterday in Pokopia, Arcanine wanted his home warmer. I had just learned how to make fireplaces, so I made one for him and installed it.
After he lit it, he stood there basking in the warmth, and then curled up on the floor to take a nap.
I love how charming this game is.
Also, finished Midnight MSQ this morning!

In WoW I hit level 90 as I finished the quest achievements for Zul'Aman and Eversong. I was going to do the Zul'Aman delves, but I can't go above a tier 3 until I finish the MSQ, so I mainlined through Harandar and only have Voidstorm left. After that I'll go back for all the side quests!
Next Sunday I'll be starting FF6!
It's seems like a lot! But most of my WoW is before work - perks of a WFH job. And I'm mostly over the need to play Pokopia for hours now
I don't want to work, I want to play games!
I think today is the last day I'll reliably need the heating on. Nights will still need it, but the days are getting better!
I mean, I have my window open and it's 2C, so I am weird on that front.
In other gaming, I pulled out Echoes of Wisdom, as I was pretty deep into the game.
Finished the Lanaryu dungeon, which means 2 more I think? But I haven't fully explored the map yet, so that's the next goal before I head to Faron.
So right now Fanatical is basically doing a grab bag deal. $5 USD/$6.75 CAD and you get 3 random games.
I figured why not.
My three games:
Bramble: The Mountain King - I had this wishlisted, so score!
Jets'n'Guns 2 - Never heard of it, but shmups are good fun.
Megaman 11 - in my husband's library so gonna find someone to give the key to.
But all awesome for the price!

@aceattveg@gamepad.club Can you really blame them?
FF6 is my husband's favourite (8 is mine), and I've been told I have to suplex the train.
Ooh, tax refund deposited. That means husband and I can go mattress shopping!
We've had our current one for 9.5 years, and it's definitely showing its age. Replacing it with tax refund has been the plan for several months.
I woke up this morning convinced it was Saturday. You can imagine my disappointment when my brain caught up and remembered that it was actually Friday.
Pombom!
To all those waiting, have fun with Midnight early access!
I only bothered with the standard expansion, and I don't mind waiting.
I just finished my second book of the year (first being Percy Jackson book 4... something something labyrinth something).
It was another random library pick up! The London Seance Society by Sarah Penner.
I liked it, but I wanted to like it more than I actually did. But I'd pick up other books from the author if I see them!
Next is Percy Jackson book 5.
While I'm looking forward to Midnight, I'm still plodding methodically through my pet/mount grinds. Mostly focused on Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor and Pandaria, with a little BFA, K'aaresh and Emerald Dream. Thought I'd write it all out!
Main (paladin) - doing K'aaresh ecodome, pre-patch event weeklies, Mechagon, island expeditions and Strat pet dungeon, all mostly for pets.
80 mage - trying for a Legion pet xmute, and farming herbs to finish leveling Legion alchemy and inscription.
It's a holiday here, so long weekend for me!
Finished FFV yesterday - it was a fun experience.
Started Tunic next! Played it for a couple of hours and have the sword and shield. I don't like the turrets!
Today is anime catch up day!

Also started FF6. I stopped just before Phantom Train as husband wanted to play Helldivers.
But I was puzzled, I didn't have suplex. But was also very close to level 15 so I was looking up Sabin's moves and realized it had a very different name in the pixel remaster. I had even used the move multiple times and still didn't realize what it was!

For WoW I did some side quests in Harandar, a tier 4 and 5 delve, and the weekly dungeon quest.
In War Within, I'd only ever do the quest with followers, so I decided to be brave and do it with a group.
It was fine, but I have no idea where my DPS should be. I mean, I'm around 224 item level so still a lot to improve. My only two data points are a world boss where I was 3rd at about 30k, and the dungeon at 24k generally.
I don't need to be tops! Just reasonably competent.

But the rogue was definitely owning me.
But they did just nerf a ret AoE move.
Anyway!
I knew I was going to love Pokopia ... But I love Pokopia.
Even just watching the interactions between the Pokemon is delightful. Like Bellsprout asking Oddish about how he gets such lovely leaves.
It's so charming, and the world itself seems pretty big.
On the WoW side, my main is 83 and still not out of Eversong Woods. No play time before work tomorrow due to an appointment, but I'll pay as much as I can on the weekend, and delve into Pokopia when Lang plays PoE. Maybe finish Echoes?
It's above freezing, time to open the windows!
It's warming up!
I mean, it's still winter and it's still cold. But I'm much happier at -5 C than at -20 C.
All of my gaming time in the past week has been split between Midnight and Pokopia.
With Midnight, I am level 87 and just finished the Zul'Aman MSQ. It's the second zone I've done! I had mostly cleared out Eversong, save the dungeon quest in the south, and I still have some side stuff in Zul'Aman.
Arator will be my next focus.
Pokopia has 5 places I can go, so I cycle between focusing mostly on one for a couple hours, or madly cycling between them all.
The Pokemon are all so delightful!
I've been having a day - you know that's true when the dentist was the least stressful thing.
So I thought I'd share a bit of dorkiness. I've had my license plate since early 2007. Some times, while at a red light, I'll look at the plates around me to find people with older license plates in search of my license plate senpais.
I don't find many!
