Baby's First Charmander
We set out on our journey into Kanto, it's monochrome but neon as you know it in the studio, and Foundation is an excellent foundation...
Today’s column comes to you late for a number of reasons. First, there were email troubles and I spent a season of my life in two separate chats with two very helpful tech warlocks for two totally different companies in order to re-right the electronic ship. This involved much wrangling of MX codes and other assorted DNS bullshit and I would be a happy man were I to never set foot in those sticky halls ever again. Incongruities now being rectified, I shall hopefully never have to. Secondly, yesterday was a day of much rejoicing in our household and also a day on which I personally did weigh the passage of time, what with those monsters being a whole thirty years old? Christ. Let us dive in and we can be out of here and back to Kanto in no time and all shall be copacetic.
Cometh the hour, cometh the ‘mons! Of course 27.02 came and went and so wrapped up were we in festivities that in the end, I gave up any designs on wrapping this whole thing before bed and instead retired to a dark corner of Viridian forest with my bugs. I picked the tiny one up shortly before six and we headed straight home via the dumpling place, thereby enacting a super effective Pokémon/Chinese combo, straight out of the ‘Winning At Fatherhood 101’ playbook. Understand, I wasn’t entirely certain if she was totally physically ready to be the main pilot on this flight but here we are, setting out into the known unknowns with her at the joy-cons and daddy as an assist for walls of text.
To sit with her as she made her first, baby steps on this journey, into this world was…choice, to put it mildly
