I'm leaving on vacation for a month tomorrow! Going to England to see my partner's family and some of our friends who live there :)

Pokémon fanart where there's a bunch of little guys and one of them is shiny is PEAK

Designed my first Pokémon-related YouTube thumbnail for a client 🥳

Unfortunately, YouTube has added the option to generate AI thumbnails directly in the Upload tab. Prepare for videos with no views to have slop thumbnails all over the platform. God forbid I have a job as a human creative on this damn website.

27 🥳 This "age" shit is becoming serious, huh.

I've been doing this little daily game for a week where you roll a 6-digit number and see what's special about it like pairs, consecutive numbers etc. It's like rolling for a shiny or a unique Trainer ID for your savefile, and you can compose a little poem for each roll. It's fun! www.rngdle.com

YouTube's been putting videos from small channels on my homepage 1 at a time in the last few days (Positive!) They've all had dogshit AI generated thumbnails. Sigh. Guys, just make a shitty thumbnail in PowerPoint, I promise it'll have more charm than whatever this is.

Can you tell I have my favorites?

I've said this before and I'll say it again, I want a Pokemon game where you study ecosystems like a mix of Snap and Legends Arceus.

It's go-time! Starting at 238 Permutations today - will we find Shiny Alpha Eevee? LIVE NOW - twitch.tv/shinyseekerike

We are back with more Eevee permutations! Starting the day at 175 - how far can we go, and will we find the BIG EEVEE? Tune in - twitch.tv/shinyseekerike

5 hecking permutations. Phase 64 Another new shiny alpha I'm in shock What

TUNIC 🦊 36/36 Achievements (100%) What a lovely indie game! It took me about 30 hours to get everything done, with maybe about 20 hours to first reach credits. I recommend going into it as blind as you can and just immersing yourself in what it has to offer!

As we approach Pride Month, I was given the opportunity to draw this adorable rainbow-themed Carkol for @shiniesforgood.bsky.social 's upcoming event! It's a shiny hunting community fundraiser that aims to raise money for charity, more info in the quoted post below!

DM gave me a shiny new Belt of Storm Giant Strength. Jarghull will move mountains now.

The resemblance is uncanny, isn't it? I do like Fox having shorter legs to be even more animalistic.

LIVE - We're back to Shiny Alpha Eevee Permutations! Will we find new phases today? Perhaps even the target..? Tune in! twitch.tv/shinyseekerike youtube.com/live/vr0Aii3...

Pet peeve: People who type "rouge" when they mean "rogue". Rouge flag. 🔴

I need to get diagnosed man this isn't normal behavior I just spent 3 hours trying to hype myself up to build an IKEA drawer and I didn't even manage to open the cardboard box

...

oh boy what could go wrong #ffxiv

Today's a rough mental health day. I'm gonna cancel stream and look for another time to go live this week if I feel better. Thanks for your understanding 🙇‍♂️

// PLA Shiny Log — Update 05 ⚙️ Most of the bugs have been squashed, leaving only a handful of key features to program: - Ability to subtract from counters (in case of mistakes) - Tab that combines all 5 maps - Button to export your Shiny Log (for backup/other devices) - Responsive layout for mobile

The new TCG Pocket update turns your cards gold if you have 10+ of them! So cool 🤩✨

// PLA Shiny Log — Update 04 ⚙️ While not much looks different here, the biggest win is that the tool now REMEMBERS WHAT YOU CLICKED‼️ Refreshing the page no longer brings every counter back to 0. This has created a myriad of bugs in edge cases, but this is pretty major progress regardless! 💪

Mikya has 3 Shiny Alpha Eevees in PLA. If you've ever looked into doing a shiny dex on this game, you'll know just how genuinely INSANE that is.

Eevee Permutations continue today! Will the Shiny Alpha show up criminally under odds? Tune in to find out! twitch.tv/shinyseekerike

Volcanion? The choice for these is making less and less sense to me. No Mew in LGPE? No Hoopa in Z-A DLC?

// PLA Shiny Log — Update 03 ⚙️ I've hit a bit of a roadblock that's not that insurmountable, but it certainly stopped my momentum. I need to lock in and get back into this project sooner than later!

The problem with using Final Fantasy XIV fishing as an escape is that eventually you do catch them all.

Shiny Hunting for an Alpha Eevee on stream! <-------------------

FFXIV ARR Relic Weapon #01!

I've been in a bit of a FFXIV Fishing mood lately. This here is my very first Legendary Fish using ONLY gear from the base expansion, A Realm Reborn! And I crafted it all myself! Very happy, very proud.

Yessssss got the minion from chopping up a rare fish in ARR! It took 6 tries!

Found my final Shiny Alpha Wurmple and it was the right gender AND evolved into the correct branch. (25%) 38 Permutations, no phases. ✅ Shiny Alpha Wurmple ✅ Shiny Alpha Silcoon ✅ Shiny Alpha Cascoon ✅ Shiny Alpha Beautifly ♂️ ✅ Shiny Alpha Beautifly ♀️ ✅ Shiny Alpha Dustox ♂️ ✅ Shiny Alpha Dustox ♀️

🍌🤸‍♂️ oops I slipped

Shiny Hunting in Eorzea (fishing)

Permutation #6 — wrong gender. ♂️ Ran out of permutations (after only 8) because Abra's unpermutable by itself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #ShinyPokemon #PokemonLegendsArceus

Permutation #10: Aww, dang it, a phase 😔 Permutation #12: Oh OK. (Under-odds for one, very under-odds for two!) #ShinyPokemon #PokemonLegendsArceus

Lucky lucky me - here's another Bingo target in 71 Permutations! Getting one of my target letters makes up for being more than double over odds (1/32 Permutations). #ShinyPokemon #PokemonLegendsArceus

Found a BIG friend during stream :)) #ShinyPokemon #PokemonLegendsArceus

Rise and shine, Hisui! Let's find Shiny Cherrim! twitch.tv/shinyseekerike

// PLA Shiny Log — Update 02 ⚙️ With the implementation of counters and a toggle between Shiny and Shiny Alpha Pokémon, the tool is nearing a usable state... Except, none of the number changes stay in memory if you refresh the page. This step alone is a big hurdle that I'm not sure how to fix yet!

my luminous mama 💛

It's been so long since I last felt the joy of getting a new shiny alpha It feels amazing. Maybee more than when I got Munchlax. Also this was overodds (75 phases for a 2%) but honnestly, having to fight for it feels better than if I got it crazy underodds like I did with both of my eevees

Theory: Pokémon Champions has a high chance of giving you exactly 1 Shiny in your recruitment roster to encourage people to recruit new Pokémon that they wouldn't have considered battling with beforehand.

@sirtoastytoes.bsky.social hop on No Man's Sky they added ribbons

// PLA Shiny Log — Update 01 ⚙️ It took 2 entire days, but I've managed to rewrite the entire structure to make it dynamic! Now, the various Maps can be split into Methods :) Which means... Yes! You can 100% sub-sections of a map! And yes, the acronym for Space-Time Distortions remains... tragic.

Completely neglected to mention that Pokemon that couldn't display their Hisui Ribbon's "of the Distant Past" title because they weren't present in Scarlet and Violet can use it in Champions!

For the past few days, I've been unrusting my decade-old programming skills to create a Pokémon Legends Arceus shiny dex tracker that acts like the OSRS Collection Log 😊 It's coming along nicely, I plan to make it a completionist's paradise for myself and other PLA Shiny Hunters.
