Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!
Thankyou for the tag!
I was actually haha, I introduced my parents to it and soon enough we were one of those families driving around the museum carpark at midnight for pokeballs and rare spawns while we ate maccas hehe. Gosh I miss those days. I'm currently getting into the new app, Pokemon TCG Pocket, it's basically the digital version of opening the card packets. Very low stress, im enjoying it 🙂

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!
Argh @AnxiousDuck .... pokemon is just so amazing. Developed by a neurodivergent teen who didn't 'fit in' at school.
I find the concepts just so incredible... like the powers of the pokemon and what are strong/weak defences etc. Honestly, WHO can come up with all this?
And. yes, I played pokemon Go last year... until I had enough.

I played Pokemon Go until about a year ago. I never learned all the ins and outs but I enjoyed going to Kings park with my son on community days.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!
Oh gosh, I'm sorry 😅 I didn't realise I wasn't tagging, I'll try to remember!
My day has been.. quiet. I've kind of been hiding in my room aha.. but I did finally restart a series I wanted to watch, Arcane. I restarted because it's been a while and I need the refresher before season 2. Besides that though I've just been trying to keep myself distracted.
What about you? How's your day been tyme?

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!
Oh yeah ! I vaguely remember you having Pokemon Go. @Oaktree
At the moment, I just reading a lot of different books. No more games for me, coz I'm not really interested. I have to admit though, that as a teen, I did enjoy games - but we didn't have the range of games they have nowadays for kids.
I wonder what it is about kids and teens that they are so drawn to games?

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!
I actually never knew that but that's amazing ❤️ it's always those people least expect that give us such great ideas!
I actually kind of understand that feeling actually, I stopped last year too. Although it wasn't so much having had enough as it was too painful to continue. I can't bring myself to delete the app though. I hope one day to be able to open it again.

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!
I actually took a big gap in playing between its launch and 2020. By the time I returned I was completely lost and new to everything again haha. But I appreciated the distraction, alot of us did around then. I remember the community days though. I used to go on walks through our City Park with my parents and a few of my brothers, we all got involved for a while haha

Re: Newbie's Social Club - Come make some friends!
Hey @AnxiousDuck ,
I don't know what Arcane is. I don't tend to watch things and my lovely brain can't process it. I prefer to read.
This morning, I went to church, then after, I went for a walk. That's pretty much it. I want a rest because I didn't get to sleep until after 3am this morning... but to be honest, I feel okay.
My naughty dog gave us a fright today. She got into a pill box and ate A LOT of strong medication (including antipsychotics, anti anxiety, anti depressants, fish oil, kril oil, vitamin B... I'm still monitoring her and hopefully she is okay. She seems okay after vomiting twice.
So yeah... joys of having a puppy.
