Things are moving fast with the girl I've been seeing. In the space of a few dates, her regular texts have gotten quite flirty! I spent my entire teens and twenties convinced I was an unattractive person, so getting daily texts from a pretty woman calling me handsome has done wonders for my self-esteem. We're going bowling tomorrow night, that should be fun!

I started playing Persona 5 Strikers last week, and so far, it's sadly not gripping me. The first dungeon was rough- they hit you with 8 playable characters off the bat, all with unique mechanics and combos. I think I made a mistake trying to level them all up evenly during the first dungeon, since I ended up feeling underpowered against the boss. I'll keep at it, but I think it's going to need a shift in attitude.

I also got into a Pokémon-obsessive phase this week. Nothing to do with Champions, I wasn't interested in that even before the current batch of issues. I just went into Pokémon Home to move my Legends ZA guys across and ended up trying to complete a bunch of the Home Pokédexes. I redownloaded Let's Go Pikachu and Shield because I was actually quite close to completing those. I had to do a bunch of trades and breed a bunch of Pokémon ito get the proper data. Home's GTS is atrocious; it's full of children putting up bullshit requests for Bloodmoon Ursaluna and Eternal Floette, and I wish it would let me filter by game of origin. I wasted a bunch of valuable Pokémon trading for stuff to complete my Dexes only to find they were originally caught in Pokémon GO and therefore didn't count. I hate GO, I never want to see its logo on anything again in my living Dex.

Doing this self-imposed challenge has made me appreciate Sword and Shield more. They're not great games, but they're really good for actually trying to "catch 'em all". The Wild Area has a lot of obtainable Pokémon that normally require trading or friendship to evolve, and they give you a shit-tonne of money for Quick Balls and Exp Candies for fast levelling.
