Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 344

It’s another Chapter 69!
Insert another joke here!

No footnotes this chapter and barely any edits.
I recovered from my temporary internet outage but I forgot to edit and schedule these chapters until right as I was about to turn off my PC.
So I am in a biiiiiiiiit of a rush!

Blue Sky Chapter 60

I scheduled this chapter while writing down notes for something else and almost got myself completely turned around by copy and pasting the wrong things!
I’m sure you guys would much rather read the story than a bunch of notes regarding various literature genres for references.

For context, I’ve been dissecting some genres while working out what ones I have the most familiarity with regarding writing plots for RPG campaigns.
One of my friends wants to set up a multi-gm Torg Eternity campaign which each GM having their own faction as a focus.
I’m not all too certain what faction I might end up being in charge of if I decide to GM because the faction with the genre I’m best at isn’t an all too interesting faction (generic fantasy). While the faction I find most interesting has a genre I’m completely unfamiliar with by comparison (pulp fiction).

Not Sure, Another World Chapter 131 Part 2

The Princess Connect event is really simple and it’s left me so confused!
I think I’ve been traumatised by FGO events so I was expecting the worst when it came to this game too but…
It’s just so casual and chill.

Are all the events going to be like this?
If so I have no idea why I was panicking so hard and working myself to the bone to grind so that I’d be strong enough to complete it.
I mean sure I’m not the pinnacle of optimisation but I’m still doing fast enough that I will definitely get everything I want before the start of next week!

Not Sure, Another World Chapter 131 Part 1

I had an internet outage today, I might have to reinstall my ethernet driver or something.
I keep getting IP errors.
Well it’s probably not too big a deal, there’s any number of things it could be.

My divers, my power adaptor, the router… so forth.
Before you ask, yes I tried turning them off and on again!
Anyway it’s working enough now to post these at least!

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 343

This chapter is brought to you by evil Cortana.

So another isekai light novel got an anime announcement.
This time it’s that assassin one.
That assassin one isn’t too bad actually…it jumps around a bit too much though in my opinion.
Well I did really like the mage girl in that story though…like a lot!

Also the way it plays with the skills being common sense wasn’t bad.
More excited for Banished From The Heros Party though for the skill treatment.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 342

Some dude named Zack Snyder or something is making “a faithful retelling of King Arthur’s tale” or something.
Honestly that has to be a joke right?
Faithful retelling? How?

Someone please direct me to the definitive edition of The Legend of King Arthur.
Honestly there’s so many contradictory versions thanks to Celtic and Christian and French influences.
Wait if it’s a faithful retelling do you think it’ll be a Fate movie?

Please stop trying to make movies about this!
There’s a very good youtube video about public domain movies!

Blue Sky Chapter 59

I should really have talked about the manga I was reading on this prechapter ramble rather than on one of the DSM rambles.
I mean given the name of the manga is Ariadne in the Blue Sky it just would have fit so much better.
Well, it’s not like I can change the past.
Also it gives me an excuse to talk about it again here which allows me to save a ramble topic for a time where I run out of ideas!

Somethings my genius is… it’s almost frightening.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 341

I opened twitter and “Daddy” was a trend.
The internet was a mistake.

On that bombshell…
Here’s a chapter.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 340

I started a new manga today and ended up binge reading it.
I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it turned out to be.
Honestly I thought it was gonna be some generic globe trotting story with some fantasy elements and a bundle of tropes.
The end result actually gives really strong Last Exile vibes strangely.

It was a really good read, even if it did use a similar twist to Plunderer just in reverse. No idea which came first.
I actually look forward to how it develops.
I should really give other manga a shot sometimes, I think I fixate on novels a little too much because their stories progress faster.

Blue Sky Chapter 58

Ironically I happened to have left a playlist running and it was going through the Fate/Grand Order OST as I was scheduling this one.
Given all the Arthurian references in this novel I feel that’s quite fitting.
Actually doubly so for this chapter.

Things look like they’re about to reach another climax soon so let’s see where things go from here!

Not Sure, Another World Chapter 130 Part 2

As you guys know, we are getting close to catching up with the author on this novel.
When we do catch up the translator is most likely going to take a break.
They have been doing this project for months without break to pump out the chapters every week.
I think splitting the long chapters has been the only thing preserving their SAN points.

I was originally considering proposing to Silva about reducing the number of chapters a week, both to extend the longevity and to reduce the strain but I feel this close to the end it might have the opposite effect now.
Also I’d get less ad revenue…
Decisions.

Maybe I should ask for all your opinions?

Not Sure, Another World Chapter 130 Part 1

It is that time of year known as Valentine’s Day here.
Make sure to slay any couples you lay eyes on.
Not just because they should be at home due to lockdown but also because they should just explode.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 339

I don’t think I wrote it here, but I did send it in at least one of the discords at the time of the last episode.
But if anyone is watching Log Horizon I have a theory as to how Shiroe is going to overcome the obstacle set out in front of him currently.
I’m really curious as to if I’m right but I think I likely am.
I won’t write it here because it might be spoilers for those who are behind or plan to watch long after this has gone live.

Anyway, basically it just has to do with the election rules and that final panning shot at the end of the last episode.
If you do want the theory then I sent it on a discord server somewhere…forgot which one. Not helpful I know.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 338

After watching from the sidelines and laughing at the production disaster that is Ex-Arm I felt like it was only fair that I gave it a shot and actually read the manga source.
I was…mostly surprised.
It was different than I was expecting, the writing is a bit weird in places but I can see the appeal.
Some of the aspects are pretty amazing and do resonate with my interests but overall I think it’s mostly just above average.

I’ll probably keep reading it just to see how it turns out though.
Honestly the protagonists situation would be something like a dream to me though…mostly.
Obviously I’d have some personal objections over that early treatment.

Blue Sky Chapter 57

I mentioned in a different ramble that it has been snowing where I live.
So I’m going to use this ramble to talk about the moment where my lights flickered!
It was obviously because of the snow, but I was streaming D&D at the time so I made a joke about it being an EMP.

Would have been fun if it was an EMP but sadly my other electronics were not targeted.
Clearly I am not enough of a threat to our alien overlords yet.
But soon, soon I tell you.

Speaking of alien overlords, my friends started reading Three Body Problem recently, apparently it was free on Amazon.
