I hope they still had a good time.

Should I keep it like this and keep breeding for a competitive female, or evolve to that gorgeous white Salazzle?

Work is miserable, and misery loves company! I made this playlist to kind of have people to commiserate with while doing chores and menial jobs. Some songs are upbeat, usually relating to looking forward to the weekend, others are a little more melancholy tunes about how much life (and work) suck and how unfair it is.

Problem? It's only like 3.5 hours long, even with covers, so I've been around and around this playlist multiple times. I'm looking for some recommendations to add a little more variety!

For context, I played Pokémon Unite a lot over the first year or so, but just kind of fell off.

Today I logged in for the first time in a couple years, and was immediately assaulted by all the pop-ups announcing limited-time events and features. I was railroaded into the item machine, then had options covered by text windows that I still can't figure out how to get rid of. Cool, thanks for telling me I can claim anniversary balls, but I can't find where to do that so U can't even see that feature that text Bubble is covering!

Once I finally got through all those pop-ups the home screen was just covered in buttons with red notification bubbles on every one that don't appear to go away if I navigate to them, leaving me constantly thinking there's something I missed that I need to check again.

The multiple ongoing events (or promotions or leaders or whatever) and crowded home screen is exactly the type of UI that tells me to immediately uninstall a mobile game. It tells me that the devs are trying to trigger FOMO and get people to spend without thinking, putting profit over gameplay, and, cantankerous old man that I am, my response is simply to leave.

I remember that some of this was starting when I left, but when did it get this bad?

NPC trainers in the game are almost always associated with a specific type: Gym leaders stick to their element, Swimmers always have water-type Pokémon, and you never see a Bug Catcher with a rock/ground Pokémon.

I love it when NPCs get a theme, rather than a type! Miriam, for example, is a nurse, and all of her Pokémon are related to medicine: Hypno is anasthesia, Pincurchin and Toxapex are syringes/shots, Glalie is an ice pack, electric eels like Eelectross were used medicinally as far back as ancient Egypt, and Sawsbuck's leaves can be used to make a soothing tea.

Likewise, Penny's got an obvious Eevee theme, and Arven's team is all about food: Mushrooms, peppers, salt, oysters, and two hungry boys to eat with.

I keep thinking about what theme I'd use to represent my job. What would your theme and team be?

I've noticed this in my car, since the song title and artist were usually displayed on the console, but for about a week the display has been artist & album instead. On the app (android) I get the album cover (if I zap the static ad) and artist, and rarely lyrics, but again, no song title. The notification bar is even worse: It gets stuck on an ad and only shows me the song length.

Is this an issue anyone else is experiencing? I thought maybe it was just when I was connected to Android Auto, but I've had the in-app and notification issue when connected to my home speaker over the weekend, too.

Last two plants growing, Cursors at 10, $5mil from Gaseous Assets... I've been on this run for 2 months (half of it travelling, so just getting sugar) working towards Gaseous Assets. Now I'm just a few days away from never having to look at the stock market again.

I don't know what the goal will be for the next one, since most remaining achievements just seem to be waiting for lumps. Maybe a challenge run to finally try for Speed Baking 3, or finally start farming my first shiny wrinkler.

Saw this game, open, in a table and popped it open to see what was inside, and the first thing I saw was these cute werewolf monster tokens.

I'll let y'all know how the game is after I play it.
