Catering to veteran Pokémaniacs... There is no starter selection, but, instead, the game comes with an adapter that connects to DS and GBA systems -- you can port in *one* level 5 Pokémon from any Gen 3-5 title to serve as your starter.

Mind you, $8 is the FULL RETAIL VALUE of your work, GameStop will only actually offer $0.71 in cash if you don't opt for store credit.

34!

Needless to say, I'll be skipping Leg Day until after clearing that particular Challenge.

On the flip side, there are low-cost perks you can take to cut Challenges down immensely. There's a one-point perk that doubles all harvested crops. Suddenly you need to find 25 plants instead of 50. BOOM.

I should add that there are perks you can take that actually make some Challenges harder to complete. Investing too many points into your fancy footwork Parkour skill ensures that you *can't* break your legs when falling (crawling zombies can still do the trick, but that gets messy).

I probably won't stream it, though. It's definitely a co-op game at heart and getting people to join in can be a hassle depending on availability. I'd LOVE to get some multiplayer time with people, but it'd be easier to start with a Minecraft world or something.

You also have a few dozen Challenges that offer Exp/loot when finished. Who has 2 plaster casts and built a staircase tall enough to cause a broken leg when you step off the top? This guy. Fix your snapped leg 10 times and you get stuff. Get sick 10 times for stuff. Pick 50 flowers... you get it.

Usually in action/survival games I'll go the stealth route and sneak around looting everything, but there's a fun combo (mentioned in a previous post) where you can get a double Exp payout by taking down a zombie with a sledge to the noggin.

Now, the mallet is slow, but it WORKS.

Glad to hear it! You have yourself a wonderful day and I shall have to catch up with you later! I've missed tuning in to your streams, the recaps of the drawing ones look especially fun!

Doing alright! Getting all set to step out into a chilly morning, but it's shaping up to be a good day! How are you at this early-ish hour?

Good morning, Pud!

All I will say is that you have EXCELLENT taste in writing utensils. 😉

(Had one just like that for the longest while. No idea where it ended up.)

If it's just the ears and the tail, it's pretty low on the "furry" aspect. More of a "human with slightly animalistic traits" than "anthropomorphic animal with human traits.

Little bit of actual fur, claws, facial features... then it moves a bit more into that category.

It's looking alright so far! We'll have a taste-test in a bit 😄
