Today, I completed the maths course in Duolingo. I skipped most of the intermediate maths before. I went around completing the timed challenges yesterday and today so that all the progress was filled in within each section.
Over a week ago, I finished collecting all trophies for the Nintendo Switch Online version. Since I hadn’t played it previously, I never realised it was made by the same development team that worked on the NHL Hitz series.

Last week I finally completed the Duolingo Chess course. I was doing two units each day in the end. I also caught up with some more music units that were added a few weeks ago. I’m only doing music daily refresh at the moment, but Chess-wise, I got up to 900 rating on Puzzle Battle and have been setting records on Puzzle Rush on chess.com

I started TCG Pocket a couple of weeks late but otherwise kept up-to-date with it—with the condition of not spending any money on the game. I targeted and achieved the lowest master league status three times, which luckily happened to correspond with reaching level 50 too.
My next major achievement might be completing lots of achievements to the rainbow threshold. We’ll see.




Previously I didn’t categorize Duolingo as a gaming achievement, but now I do! After 3 years, and topping leagues a long while ago, I’ve finally completed a whole ‘language’ on Duolingo (until they add more anyway). I completed using the Super subscription, which adds some more challenges I believe, but gives you unlimited tries and no ads. Where possible I got a score of a 1000 or 3 stars, without trying to take advantage of exploits.

This morning I finally completed the Main Missions 100%. The last week was just a week’s worth of playing a single online match to trigger the daily monkey lottery. In the previous 6 weeks or so, I had beat all 200 levels and then did another playthrough to clear all the stage missions—which always revolve around beating a time, collecting a number of bananas and collecting the gold banana in the levels.
120 in hours in total. If I were to come back to this, I’d probably try to set times for the world speed-runs and then try to improve some times or banana totals where they look easily improvable.
Finally, after hours of waiting in distortions, and also revisiting Obsidian Fieldlands for Female Eevee, I have one of every unique alpha form.

During that time, I reached 999:59 hours.
And I also completed my living form dex via Discord trades for Arceus.
I am now very close to having all 5 larger than alphas in Legends: Arceus from Pokémon GO. I am only missing Rhyperior, which I don’t want to transfer from Pokémon GO since the only valid one is powered up.
So either I will complete this goal or Path of Solitude next. And while I level up my mons for Path of Solitude, I can hopefully expand my living Shiny dex further and max out more items in my boxes. I actually managed to max out one of the colored shards in my box going through so many distortions.
I’m really pleased I’ve achieved the Perfect Dex and Alpha Living Dex double now and am excited to conquer the remaining significant challenges!

Finally, I made it to 999 excellent throws! I now share the same trainer level as the most elite of the Pokémon GO player-base. I’ve now got 8 special research on the GO, so I want to focus on completing some of them, including the Level 50 challenge. I’m generally keeping up with collecting in the overall Pokédex.
Other than that, I’m focusing on best buddying Level 50 Gyarados and Tapu Koko Hundos, and also a second lot of Groudon and Yveltal Hundos that are on their way to Level 50. I’m also getting a female mega venusaur to mega level 3.
So there probably won’t be too many GO landmarks from now on, but I’ll try to remember to share some dex-related ones as they gradually happen.
