How time flies! The Black Rayquaza Tera Raid Battle event in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet was one year ago. (Thank you to Facebook Memories for reminding me.) #Pokemon

Met Sylvester McCoy 10 years ago today, at Mumbai Comic Con. One of the only two Doctor Who celebrities I've had the pleasure of meeting. (The other celebrity being Mark Gatiss.) I got his autograph too… I asked him to sign to both myself and my ex-girlfriend. #DoctorWho

My new Lumectra controller for Nintendo Switch / Nintendo Switch 2 from PowerA is here. This is the ‘Wake up, Link’ variant of the controller. Ain’t it beautiful? 🥹

Used the online tool pokecardmaker(.)net to design a custom Pokémon TCG card based on myself using @avisraveni.bsky.social's illustration from earlier this year.
I tried to pack in as many physics references as I could. How many can you identify or spot?

Also, used the one Lure Ball I had remaining to catch a male Totodile (lv. 55). I've been wanting to do this for a while, actually. It's because Ash, too, caught his Totodile in a Lure Ball.
What're you doing in Pokémon Legends: Z-A?

Caught a female Alpha Pikachu, gave her my Master Ball to hold, nicknamed her "Missy" (short for "Mistress"), and then deposited her in one of my PC boxes. No way I'm making the mistake of accidentally using my Master Ball to catch a lv. 2 'Mon in the wild. 😳

Got these beautiful Pokémon TCG-themed ornaments 3D-printed for my Christmas Tree. (I gotta get Water and Grass re-printed.) What do you guys and gals think?

My movie watch-list for 2026 is growing at a steady speed.
Played Tetris Effect: Connected today for the first time in a very long time. I only played one round. How'd I do? Did I clear enough lines to make comrade Pajitnov proud?
I just wanted my friend to see the game's presentation.
We also played Marvel Cosmic Invasion.

Seven years ago… the crossover to end all crossovers (including Infinity War & Endgame) dropped.
Every time a new Nintendo Direct was announced during those otherwise colourless days of my life, I'd always get excited thinking about seeing a new 3DCG cinematic for Smash Bros.

Thought I'd share this. A better look at my new satchel and my Pokémon charm that I bought in a mall in Odaiba that I attached to it.
It's also what I carry my Pokéwalker in these days.

I've said I before, and I'll say it again. Cyrus, leader of Team Galactic, loved quasars before it was cool. Sorry, Quasartico Inc. and Pokémon Legends: Z-A fans. 😳
Also… unpopular opinion… but… Pokémon BDSP is beautiful. 🥹

'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' and 'Transformers One'. Easily my two best Blu-rays. And easily the two best 4K UHD Blu-rays to exist, ever! (Both sets short on extras and the like, though.)

Thought I’d post about this again (assuming I haven’t posted about it before). Here are my Pokémon Black 2 Hall of Fame records. The first one and the latest one—over 10 years apart! (Yes, it’s the exact same save file.)
Insane, right?

My Anbernic RG34XXSP arrived yesterday. Here are some pictures for you guys and gals!
It's a retro-gaming/emulation handheld that looks almost exactly like the GBA SP.
I also wanted to have a dedicated media playback device with the ability to store my entire MP3 collection locally.

Here are my most-played Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Wii U (haha, yes), and Nintendo 3DS games (2014 - Present). (No official data for my Nintendo DS hours is available, unfortunately.)
As expected, Pokémon, Smash Bros., Mario, and Ace Attorney dominate.

I was invited as the Guest of Honour by the Aditya Institute of Management for their celebration of Librarian's Day 2025. The event was held on August 12, and I gave a small speech on my writing process. I am extremely grateful to the Director of the Institute, Dr. Balkrishna Parab.

I played my very first Magic: The Gathering game yesterday. I played in the Commander format, and I used a pre-constructed Doctor Who deck.
Also check out my Batgirl-themed card sleeves. 😎

You have no idea what I'm about to show you guys and gals.
Got these secondhand Nintendo DS games which are no longer officially available at CeX. These games are super popular with Ace Attorney fans, I hear.
Also an Ezra Bridger (Star Wars Rebels) Disney Infinity figurine. 🤩

Just learned Pokémon Legends: Z-A is being directed by neither Shigeru Ohmori (Pokémon ORAS, Pokémon SM, Pokémon SwSh and Pokémon SV) nor Kazumsa Iwao (Pokémon USUM, Pokémon Legends: Arceus).
It's being directed by Tochigi Haruka. I think it's the first time he's directing a Pokémon game?
