Editor for and Demon Sword Maiden!
Gentrified NEET and siscon.
Currently looking for an imouto. Applicants must be under the age of 16, cute and with long hair.
Optional traits are: Neko, princess and/or maid.
Honestly I thought for quite a while about what to write for this pre-chapter ramble based on the options I had on hand so I decided to talk about an anime I finally caught up on.
I managed to binge watch almost all of I’m Quitting Heroing up to the finale the other night.
I actually had read the manga well beyond the point the anime ends before the anime was even announced so I knew the twist that was coming, but I still got emotional about it.
I think it’s a well crafted story that despite using a similar premise does not rely on the obvious predecessor that everyone should know of by now as a trope guide.
The act of hunting for a job is extremely draining when you have social anxiety to factor in.
Especially since the area I live is either retail or retirement, it’s just the worst location for someone of my personality.
Well I will keep looking, I also have my first meeting about job searching with my coach on Monday so hopefully it’s productive.
I doubt it though, honestly I have no idea what to look for.
I want to sigh out loud just thinking about it.
Well the sad news is that my contract was in fact not renewed.
I rejoin the ranks of the unemployed.
Kind of sucks but reality is what it is, such is life.
Sad that I won’t be able to spam commissions with all the extra money for a while though.
Just a return to normalcy from half a year ago though.
I really need to find a novel like
“Since I’ve reincarnated I’ll develop magitek and take on even the gods of this world!”
Okay I deliberately exaggerated the title a bit.
But I really want a technology gap series like Magi Craft Meister again or something, just with a more kingdom buildy aspect.
Maybe I’ll just reread magi craft though.
It was building up to some elements when I dropped it.
I won another anime competition today.
This means I have a 100% win rate.
Isn’t that a little crazy?
Am I the only person in the UK entering these competitions and thus winning by default?
Or is the number of entries so small that I am just winning so often by lack of rivals?
Anyway I don’t know if I should abuse this power by entering more competitions by this company or if I should save it for when things I want show up… otherwise they might realise the pattern.
So how are people doing with Sumeru.
I’ve finished all the world quests and almost finished 100% with all the individual regions.
I’m just missing a couple of things and then I will focus on the new event.
I also need to hope that I get the new commissions needed for the final few world quests too.
It’s so problematic that they lock them behind rng like this.
Oh well, plenty of time.
Let’s talk space.
A lot of space related things happened this week.
For starters, Stellaris announced their new DLC pack. Toxoids.
The gimmick is basically around species that are either dependent on harmful gasses to survive, or produce them through wanton industrialisation.
And NASA failed to launch their new era of space flight… twice.
Looks like the moon base is a long way off.
Hopefully they get their act together.
Since J-Novel now published all of Sol Press’ lost catalogue of novel translations I decided to pick up VRMMO Academy.
I can say that it is….
Well it’s not bad?
It’s a thing?
It does what it wants to do well.
Which is be a gimmicky VRMMO novel with a vaguely school setting.
Well I made a lot of progress on Genshin today.
I think the only stuff left for me to do in Sumeru is the event content and the general exploration.
By general exploration I just mean combing over the map for everything interactable.
That means the occuli, chests, puzzles and so forth.
I’ve done every quest I can find, and I’m sure a few have hidden triggers I will hit while doing that exploration.
Well I will take it slow from here on out, just need to stream it for the creator program.
I almost forgot to set my alarm forward for waking up to work on time, it was still set to an hour later from the day where they didn’t need me that early.
I need to remember to contact my boss about my contract which ends very soon.
It’s gone by so quickly it’s hard to imagine.
Anyway…
I finished that super long questline in Genshin.
Sadly I missed out on the reputation unlock just barely.
I needed 2% more exploration or 2 more world quests, but just didn’t have the time.
Someone I went to school with got their doctorate this week.
It feels kind of surreal to see my childhood dream getting fulfilled by someone I know.
I wonder where I lost my own way…
Was it when I started to lose motivation to try with my GCSEs?
Or when I went to a school that wouldn’t allow me to do more than two science subjects?
Or was it when I dropped out of University for failing to keep up with the modules that held no interest to me?
