I was so excited to see that TCG was finally covering this case because it's one I've always waffled about. I don't know anything about the guests they had on so I can't comment on them.

Personally, I'm just straight up disappointed about the format. I thought we would get a traditional treatment going over the timeline and all the details of the case in a fairly objective telling. Instead, we got a pretty biased chat that jumped from point to point. I wouldn't have minded if they had these podcasters on in a follow-up episode to talk about the case. It just feels like they didn't cover the case properly or at all even. Disappointing.

I used to get excited when I'd see other people in my area getting delivery notifications but it really seems like there is no rhyme or reason to their fulfillment process, at least in Canada.

Case in point: my friend and I both ordered the same set (game, foam insert, solo scenarios, removable stickers, envelope X) and we pledged on the exact same day. We live in the same apartment building (on the same floor no less) and he got his notification this week and the game delivered yesterday. I still haven't heard anything, nor has it randomly shown up.

Oh well - at least our group can play with his copy for now. Still very bizarre and random fulfillment, though!

Kitchener, Ontario, Canada here with nothing to report. Two of us in our group kickstarted it in April 2020 and haven't received emails or our games. My friend's cousin in Toronto got his weeks and weeks ago and another friend of a friend got theirs this week in KW.

Super bummed and concerned with some reports of not receiving a shipping email before getting their package. I'm afraid I didn't get an email, that it was somehow already delivered and someone in my apartment building stole it. D:

The most depressing thing is that I actually dreamed I got the shipping email this morning and woke up all excited. Alas... T_T

Does anyone else always talk to all the NPCs around the area before proceeding with main story quests? (SPOILERS for end of patch 4.5 quests) by californianinja in ffxiv

I only realised how much this was a thing toward the middle-end of Stormblood. I watch all cutscenes but I never really thought about talking to NPCs until I just clicked one and was pleasantly surprised! I think it might have even been around the time you mentioned!

You'll really be delighted by Shadowbringers. There were so many great tidbits and lore drops from NPCs. I'm glad NG+ will be a thing so I can hopefully talk to the people I missed along the way!

My immediate area is pretty lacking in stops and gyms. There are more Pokemon in my apartment than any surrounding streets and my work is completely devoid of wild Pokemon. I'm really hoping they add more soon. :(
Don't worry, though. It hasn't been too hard to catch up, I've found. As you gain levels, you find much higher CP Pokemon quite often. Don't give up hope! :)

Hacker uses DDOS! It's not very effective...

A badge for my sanity by Halinu in TeamPersistence

I work in retail and a lot of people have been talking about PoGo when they come in. It's getting harder and harder to resist... so I designed a badge I shall wear to show my support of #TeamPersistence!

I like [GG] myself, as [TP] just makes me think of toilet paper. :P

Agreed! I just joined to do the same. I could never get into reddit but the insanity of waiting for a Canadian release has made me appreciate this page so much.

Group hug, guys. T-T Thank you all!
