gollark: I really wonder who thought it was a good idea to dump their low-time (2d10h) egg with plenty of views into the AP.
gollark: If only I actually had the reflexes and low-latency internet connection needed to catch hatchlings...
gollark: They're pretty low time, and by dumping them in every hatchery and running an autorefresher on them, I can hatch them surprisingly fast.
gollark: Right now I'm mostly just trying to grab and hatch AP eggs as fast as possible.
