Video Game update

Image
Since my ninetendo switch lagged while playing Assassin's Creed, I contacted Amazon, got a refund, and returned the game catridge to Amazon.   I got to the first mega battle in Pokemon Legends Z-A  with Absol and Lucario which I can't seem to get past.  This is to anyone, who is a video game fan who got through that battle, wants to hang out in Chesapeake, VA at Starbucks or anywhere and help me get past that section.  Please and thank you. I paid for Pokemon Violet plus the DLC / area zero stuff that has Totodile since my nails has matching color of my favorite starter, Totodile which arrived.  I'm eager to play it and want to use Fuecoco since he was so funny in Pokemon Horizons on netflix.   Two long-term goals: 1) attend a fan convention like San Diego Comic Con and get my two game catridges  autographed from someone  affiliated with Pokemon 2) get into a MFA creative writing program

video game impression

Assassin's Creed is sluggish like molasses on my switch.  I got peanut gallery from NPCS telling me to speed it up.   I got through 14 hours of gameplay for Legends ZA with Croconaw as my partner.  I am rank W and was told in dialogue I'm more like rank G / H.

Tipsy review of Final Destination movie

Image
I decided to do something different and went to Alamo Draft House.  I ordered a beer and chips and paid for a movie, Final Destination Bloodlines .  I give it 6 out of 10 on scary factor.   Some of the scary things weren't scary to me including the jump scares.   I probably seen too many explosions in Mythbusters so the explosion at the end didn't faze me.  Blood is more gross than horrifying.

Quantico

Image
Most people seemed surprised that Liam O'Connor played by Josh Hopkins was the terrorist at the end of Quantico season 1. Blind to bad behavior.  I wasn't terribly surprised because his character was a drunk (Miranda commented in the pilot episode if Lam fell asleep in a bar, and he got drunk in Guilty ). Natalie's dialog in Guilty  also convinced me when she tells Liam, "Sir, with respect, when the people you trust are all on one side, and you're the only one on other side.  What does that make you?"

Pokemon scalpers and lawsuits

Image
Pokemon is kids franchise known for lawsuits and scalpers.  ninetendo (Pokemon video game maker) is suing Palworld (game been called Pokemon with guns).  Pokemon merchandise can get sold out on official store and expensive on third party websites (ebay, Amazon, etc).  I decided to get the sleeping plush from target because ebay had $1-$2 price difference for cheaper one (not worth it personally).

Foggy Pointe

Image
I got disability money. I'm willing to spend money on my own ideas. This is the summary for my fantasy short story collection: Foggy Point is a foggy town on an island in the middle of a lake frequently home to monster summonings.  Emma Stormchild must juggle being the director at a museum and the various monsters that get summoned.  Most of this is saved in my Google documents.   The stories are written.   I tend to do well in fan fiction my best stories are Scooby Doo and Naruto (all original) - people are favoriting my stories and putting alerts in case I guess continue  Pokemon is original but hit or miss my crossover is original but is hit or miss - I'm scared to look at the statistics and reviews for that story

Pokemon repetitions

Image
 I found repetitions annoying as a kid but can tolerate it better as an adult.  I watched it live on broadcast TV as a kid versus fast-forwarding through repetitive portions on streaming sites.  For Brock always falling in love, I wrote an alternative storyline in my fanfic as an adult.
