    This week I started a playthrough of Pokémon Heart Gold / Soul Silver with my partner and their roommate. It has been quite enjoyable to play one of the Pokémon games from my childhood that I did not have the chance to play as a kid. It definitely feels odd when I mostly remember Generation 5 games (Black / White, Black 2 / White 2) which feel a lot more ... polished? But I definitely can see why people absolutely adore HG/SS, and it has some of my favourite pokemon.

    My team so far consists of Quilava, GeoDude, Gastly, Shiny Eevee (soon to be Umbreon), Quagsire, Gloom and Ratticate as my HM pokemon

    Otherwise it has mostly been reading for my University courses. I am particularly enjoying the Medieval literature I have been reading, mostly the texts following the Norman Conquest. It is particularly interesting seeing some of the source texts to later renaissance drama works, the multilingual culture within the British isles (the transition from using the Wessex-English as a koine to using French [romanz] as the dialect bridging mutually unintelligible dialects of English), and seeing a dramatic cultural shift in the 12th century. The linguistic characteristics of this society are really intriguing to me, but I think that is just my inner language nerd.

    Shouldn't this be scheduled for a Monday?

      That was my thoughts as well, but Friday is the "end of the week" for many of us (depending on cultural / legal stuff). Is it normally published on a Monday?

        IIRC, there used to be separate recurring 'what did you do this week (mon-fri)' and 'what did you do this weekend (sat-sun)' topics, but they were eventually merged. cc: @g33kphr33k I agree that...

        I agree that having the 'what did you do this week+weekend' topic posted on Friday feels weird though. So @Deimos, should this maybe be rescheduled to Monday (or Sun night)?
