Even though he wasn’t an actual baby when I took this picture, this was still one of the last pictures that I got of him playing Pokemon Go with me prior to the pandemic. I’m not sure if I’ve posted it here yet but figured that it couldn’t help to post it. I haven’t really played Pokemon Go since the pandemic started, even from the comfort and safety of my own home — recent updates elongating the “white flash” that is present at some parts in the game could cause and have caused migraines and seizures in susceptible members of the population, and I felt that it was too much of a risk for me to take. Until I know for certain that it has been fixed in such a manner as to reduce the severity of either one of those things happening, I can’t in good faith pick the game back up. It’s a shame, but you do what you have to do to stay safe, even when it’s not fun…
Baby Bub, Pokemon-spotting before the pandemic.
