June 2nd, 2026

Both a very important and extremely uneventful day today. I think the situation I've alluded to twice now has turned around, though I gotta hope it stays that way. There isn't really much to say on that topic though, pretty much all of it was just private conversations that I don't wanna make public. Work today was basically nothing. I had so much down time that I could actually spend some time grinding the battle factory during my shift (I kept checking to see if any work popped up before you ask), though nothing really came of it. I did try open level and it honestly felt very weird. I'm probably gonna be sticking with the level 50 version of the factory, and I think it would actually get harder at round 4+ than the level 50 factory, because even though the set up is the same as the round 8+ factory (all sets of high tier pokemon and legendary pokemon), you still have the IV progression, meaning some pokemon will just randomly be weaker/stronger than others. You can tell based on trainer class but without looking up the trainer it's not obvious what tier they are and it's still an element of randomness that just feels silly to even be there.
