Pokemon Go

 

I have been playing way too much Pokemon Go. However, I finally got my own Mewtwo. I wanted that one probably right from the moment I started to play the game back in (I think) 2018. Well, I finally figured out how to get myself invited to 5star raids and that is how I got him. Very happy about it. Really. The only problem with this is getting the remote raid passes needed for it. So the reality is that I'm basically limited to one raid per two days. And that is if, IF, I have enough pokemon in gyms and get at least one knocked out per day and get those 50 poke coins per day. If not, it can be even three or four days between raids. Still, so far, it is the best way I have to win 5star raids. 

I have also found a semi-working way to farm stardust. Mostly just entering one league battle after another and occasionally winning. Mostly losing though. Because I'm not putting in much effort. Just collecting the stardust reward for five-battle participation. Still, good enough for me. For now. The only problem is that there doesn't seem to be enough people battling in the league so I have to wait way too long for the system to find me an opponent. So far, that is the only downside to this. Oh, and the fact that you are limited in the number of battles you can participate in per day. 

Honestly, I have been playing way too many different games lately. Though the main one would still be Black Desert Online. I just adore that game. The graphics and even the story, after I started to read the dialogue. Though I mostly don't bother to read it when it is just skill quests - farming, alchemy, etc. But for regular side quests and the main questline, I do try to read all the dialogue. And honestly, so far, I like it. Well, I say so far, but I'm closing on to level 60. So... You do the math. 

Also, I bit the bullet and made a Shai character. I am still on the fence if I actually like her or not. I mean, she has some mid-range attacks so she's not completely close combat oriented, but I have to say that so far, nothing is better than my archer character. His long-range attacks are the best and he even has a heal skill so I have a ton of unused health potions. I'm actually thinking of selling them on the market but then I start thinking that I might need them later. So maybe I'll sell just some of them. 

I have also been doing a shit-ton of alchemy quests. Mostly the stuff where you need to make something in order to use it as an ingredient in the final product. Like all those blood mixes. I had to make tyrant blood, sage blood, beast blood and so many more. As much as I don't like it, I have also started to make a lexicon for myself. With all the recipes and blood groups and everything, so that I don't have to alt-tab so much. It definitely made my life easier. I'm glad I thought of doing it.

And that is probably it for now.
