Title: Account notice (& a long story)In life, I've through a lot lately. Ever since I made it to high school (or whatever the equivalent is overseas), things have been a lot rougher than before. Studying is plenty more intensive and thorough, so I have to spend more time on it and I had to let go of PH for that period. My interest on PH had waned, I felt PH became somewhat tiresome and repetitive, being unable to keep up further discouraged my experience. And so, I put down my account, treating it as dead, because the previous "me", who enjoyed being here, no longer existed. During the time I was gone, my interests also shifted with me. I was primarily into Magia Record, a Japanese mobile RPG at the time, and I even went so far as to play 2 accounts on it because both accounts have so many memories. At school, I studied a lot, but it became grating, the further into to semester, the heavier I felt; it was very stressful for me. After leaving PH, sometimes it felt like a load had been lifted off of my back, but other times like when I had nothing to do, I felt like I was missing something. It wasn't until after the last exam of the semester, the start of summer break that I thought of going back here. I was indecisive at first, after all, a lot of things should've changed already. But it was finally summer break, the time I am able to be on for a long time, and I made up my mind at last. To my surprise, other than missing plenty of events, PH has been unchanging, everything was the same as I remembered it. And so I resumed my gameplay of PH, hoping that I could finally finish the game. But there has always been this paranoia over my head - the fear of being too busy, too cooped up in real life will eventually lead me to leaving PH forever. This fear arose from the fact that next year, I'll get too occupied with studying for graduation exams, even in summer, then I'll have no time to rest anymore. June 30th this year is probably the last day you can see me active like this. I know that writing this in advance is a big example of this fear showing, but I can't keep bottling this up forever. During these times, I can't help but reminisce my time on PH. I spent a lot of time on here, more than any other sites, because it's my first experience of playing online adoptable games. Completing the badge sets, hunting for 1st on site milestones, competing with other people were a lot of fun! Those were the simpler times.  Show

Now that I've noticed, isn't premium easier to get these days? More and more people staying on this site has premium, so much so that it feels like premium is a must for a PH experience. It made me look at things more realistically, to the point of asking myself questions like "Why are people buying micro-transactions?", "Why do people like spending time collecting .png files with numbers attached to it?", etc. These questions can be easily answered with "because they want to show their support to the developers" and "because us humans like feeling accomplished, and sometimes will do anything to achieve it". And to be fair, I play another game with this in play. Anyways I'm rambling. +_+ I can't help but respect the people who have been on PH for so many years, remaining active and unchanging. Spending a lot of time on a website is certainly a huge achievement. But I'd like to ask them a simple "why" sometimes. Do they have anything else to do? I'm puzzled at how they managed to dedicate their life to this. I'd like to give them a round of applause for being here for so long, and to give them some comfort if they ever going to make a decision to leave the site. And that's everything I had to say (or type out). This post went on for way too long, and it felt a bit unsatisfying to me? This post was made to be a message before I'm gone for possibly indefinitely. I won't do a giveaway of my stuff, since I can come back anytime I want to. If you want to see me, go on Reddit or Discord since I've been more active there. See ya! ;) [Read more] |

Title: Corner Entry #89:I started this hunt to finish the related puzzle pieces. After I got all of them, I'll stop this hunt to restart Shiny Mega Sala da Menci hunt! Gotta make a living out of them, I suppose. But I wish I can sell them for a better price, like for nuggets and such instead of dumping them to Auction for dirt cheap prices. I'll keep track of my hunt here since I don't have premium to hunt consecutively.     Milestones:  Congratulations! A shiny
