Thanks - I’m going to keep fighting the good fight over there since somebody has to but it’s just been a lot of little things adding up as of late.

There’s going to be outlines on the shapes so I’m not too worried about the edges, I’m mostly just torn between what color

The official art has it all black; texture and masters has it as a darker color, part of me wants to use black for the Pokeball and then blue for the letters so we’ll see!

A lot of heavy stuff on the bad place this morning so here’s something light - a bsky exclusive!

I started work on my costume for this weekend a few days back and it’s finally coming together, I have like 999 coats of paint to go but I’m excited

Trying to paint Penny’s sweatshirt from ScarVo - doing a white base coat because otherwise the colors were getting lost in the dark grey background

I can’t believe it’s been fifteen years since we met, seven since we got engaged, and one year since we got married.

I can’t wait to spend even more time with you ❤️

Thank you to Pokemon for sending this #gifted package celebrating the Hawlucha vs. Machamp CMLL event last week! The VOD is on YouTube if you missed it.

The whole thing made me super hyped for #PokemonLegendsZA. Just two more weeks to go…

A few weeks back I was invited to NYC to play Pokémon Legends: Z-A! I recorded my thoughts about it in the video below, please give it a watch if you're interested! (no story spoilers!)

Thank you so much to Nintendo and Pokémon for having me!

I figured it out, it was the 1Password extension :(

I just reinstalled uBlock Origin and updated my graphics card drivers and that seemingly fixed the issue - use the installer linked from their website and not whatever update is listed on the Firefox store

“SimplyGabby” Snyder 🧀 @gabbysnyder.com · 18d

Any firefox users having issues this morning? I was averaging a crash every 5 minutes until I manually downgraded to the previous version - no clue why, I tried disabling extensions and everything. Super frustrating...

Also Bluesky exclusive fun fact - VGC that year exclusively stuck to the Unova Pokedex and I had a really fun team for the Worlds LCQ with Whimsicott as a Tailwind user and Musharna as a Trick Room user. It was one of the few metagames where running both felt viable, and not to counter another TR

I also remember it was free pretzel day at my college campus and I took this photo before my Data Structures class I think?

And countless nights on IRC talking with friends about which Pokemon could be good in the upcoming VGC season, good times 🙂

Happy Birthday Pokémon Black/White! While not the most flattering picture, White was the first game I imported from Japan (Green being the second). I remember a whole new Pokedex was really exciting + loving the game music/design, even though I had /no/ idea what was going on lol

Get ready Ace Attorney fans, now that Silksong is out we have big (clown) shoes to fill. #NintendoDirect

Moe the Clown from Ace Attorney 2: Justice for All telling us we’re the millionth person to see his comedy act. Yay.

YOOOOOO it took three hours straight of trying but I beat it?!?!

((Trying to be vague to avoid spoilers since Chapters 3/4 are relatively newer, but I did at least see the story conclusion for 3 and what the heck))

So I’m not sure if trying to beat the chapter 3 boss is going to be more or less stressful than the GC this weekend and I feel like that’s saying something

…the mini boss leading up to it was hard enough :|
