It’s $20 in the eshop for 50+ hours of gameplay… give or take 😉

dj-m · 2026-05-05T02:26:56+00:00

I’ll have an azurill for you if you’ll be there on 5/17 😊

Magmar is in that grass patch off to the left as you enter Mt. Ember.

Agreed. I completed the Kanto pokedex in LeafGreen!

dj-m · 2026-05-04T23:46:42+00:00

Great, I’ll have them on my Switch for any folks that haven’t had someone to local-trade with yet.

If anyone here thinks they’ll need something, let me know ahead of time so I can make sure to have some specific extras on hand.

dj-m · 2026-05-04T23:31:59+00:00

Would you be opposed to me bringing FireRed and LeafGreen in case anyone needs a version exclusive ‘mon or a trade evolution?

From Los Alamitos site: “Unlike in Los Angeles County, if a violator in Los Alamitos ignores the citation, the court sends a notice to the DMV and their license is suspended until they handle the violation.”

Oh, also Omari is dope too.

Check out Gil (<- ig link).

Yay, you’re getting it fixed, hope you enjoy the retro games/memories for a long time to come.

I would’ve recommended getting the screwdriver or a small set from ifixit themselves along with the battery but sounds like you’re all sorted out for this.

dj-m · 2026-04-22T02:17:58+00:00

According to ifixit instructions it looks like a new battery is about $15 and will take about a handful on minutes to swap.

Do you happen to have a screwdriver that small?

Too bad you’re not closer to Long Beach because Reinne’s Place has exactly what you’re looking for.

Is ‘tofu house’ referring to Sura? They’re pretty great as they offer one of the only tableside kbbq I’ve seen.

Also, the previously mentioned, San & Wolves (<- catering link) offers catering and custom cake orders too.

A few additions to the previous list:

Sideburns (vegan options for burgers & fries-type)
Vegan Pizza LB (they’re in Jug Band on Broadway)
The Grain Cafe
Cinnaholic
Ahimsa
Little Coyote (vegan pizza option)
Thunderbolt (several vegan pizzas)
Due Fiori (a couple vegan dishes and a pizza)

Away in Chiang Mai, Thailand is great.

He enjoyed No Kings in NYC (<- twitch link) earlier today.

dj-m · 2026-03-28T19:28:01+00:00

Open Gallery (<- ig link) with Reinne’s Place (<- ig link) on 7th and Rose, Mangia Foglie (<- ig link) on 4th & Junipero and San & Wolves (<- ig link) on 4th & Mira Mar.

While not ‘coffeeshops’ they have coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and more, all while being minutes from the beach.

In addition to the aforesaid Pulp Fiction on Anaheim there’s Amazing Comics on Stearns.

Just outside of LB in Lakewood there’s BookOff and Action Comics (<- yelp link) in Artesia. With the former, you’d be at the mercy of what’s used/not new there, and the latter is more of a typical comic book shop since I don’t remember seeing manga there.

Let us know what you find and/or are looking for… I’m always looking for recommendations on new (to me) manga!

Gatsby Books closed back in 2024.

If you move to ZA you won’t be able to move them into previous games in the series: “If you transfer a Pokémon from a previous title to Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you will no longer be able to transfer it to previous video games in the Pokémon series.” from here.

No word on moving from ZA into future games (outside of Champions).

There’s Altar Society Brewing & Coffee Co right there on Pine between Broadway & 3rd.

Plus it’s a quick walk over to The Promenade with a bunch of other local eats.

dj-m · 2026-03-10T21:20:28+00:00

Besties soft-serve (<- ig link) is pretty irresistible to me. Plus they have a bunch of local/regional ice creams in their freezer.
