It's what I've called some kind of intersection point between online and offline. Last time I was there it was before lockdowns and before I stopped using Twitter and it was also a leap year. Also I was confused by ice cream labels. Some stuff is different but some stuff is repeated. I've just kinda been around, visiting a few panels and events, mostly shopping, scribbling a blue robot on posters open for scribbling, and checking out local restaurants. Also the museum is cool. It's got a number of that retro niche stuff I'm into like Sega homebrew and giant Xbox mech controllers and forbidden PC games.
Also there was that Porygon community day thing and I had time while waiting for food to catch a bunch including a couple shinies. I don't play much Pokemon GO but that was something. Of course this was away from the convention as the network has been oversaturated there and barely works at a number of times. A bit of an issue for using phones to read credit cards.
