I meant to change my bedsheets today.
I literally prepared them all, had them arranged for swapping over.
And then just forgot about it until I went to get into bed.
This is why you shouldn’t try to arrange to do everything at once, you end up overlooking one thing.
And it’s always an annoying thing to overlook.
Oh well. Tomorrow it is.

So my mod for Stellaris is in a state where I can say that I like how much content it adds, but I’d really like to add way more.
The problem is the rules I’ve set for myself that everything has to be themed after something and still fit vanilla.
I really want to try and do something defence related but I need to work out how to do it.
First I need something to theme it on.
But what I want to do is try and use that ring gateway thing as like an orbital station or defence platform.
No idea how though, it’s a little complex for my smooth brain.

It’s valentines!
Lets all console ourselves with chocolates and funny memes.
In the meantime it’s now 6am.
I should really stop my habit of playing games for like 12 hours straight.
It’s a really bad habit.
Anyway here are your chapters.

Someone in the comments doesn’t appreciate my commentary on Maiden apparently.
Unfortunately for them they’re not even halfway through the available chapters, so they’ll have to put up with me for a long time to come.
Literally, their last comment was in Volume 2, for those that aren’t reading Maiden (the other thing I edit for) we’re currently in the midst of Volume 5.
Of course, this is a Chinese novel, so volumes are more like… blocks of hundreds of chapters.
I hope they don’t quit the story but who knows!

Somewhere in the world it is now Valentine’s Day.
Are you all excited?
Are you all loners?
Have you bought yourself some consolation chocolates?
I’m currently editing these chapters while listening to the ost for Endwalker.
I think Flow is playing right now, it’s hard to tell because they all use the same motifs.
Anyway, moving on, not really sure if these two halves of this ramble fit together but oh well.
Maybe the Endwalker OST is strangely fitting for Valentine’s?

My mod hit 200 subscribers today! Wooooo!
It also lost 14 subscribers… not so woo!
Why am I sharing this?
Well the only other thing I could think to talk about in this ramble was Star Trek again.
Oh I suppose I could talk about the fact that I’m a little worried about one of the artists I usually commission.
They haven’t replied in a week which is very unlike them, so I hope nothing bad has happened to them.

I’ve been editing and preparing to upload these chapters while someone has been binge reading this novel.
I know this because they have frequently commented as I’ve been working, so I get a new notification every short while.
I have to admit that reading their impressions was amusing, albeit distracting.
I’m starting to think I have a distraction problem when it comes to do the scheduling of these things.

I started editing two hours ago and somehow have made no progress.
This is the curse of distraction.
No seriously, I need to stop getting distracted.
But there’s just so many things I want to read about.
I’ve literally been trawling through wikis the entire time.
What a person I am.

So I finally caught up on the news about the ISS and stuff.
I think it’s quite interesting, I’m not as emotional about it as I thought though.
The ISS was a big part of my ideals in many ways, but I think it has started to fizzle out, just like the honeymoon period of its existence as a whole has.
The interest and benefit is not there as much anymore.
I’ll still cry about Oppy though. F for Oppy.

My stellaris mod on the workshop has now reached a grand total of 22 new technologies.
Not a stunning amount but I’m quite proud at my first attempt after a week of just reverse-engineering existing code. So far there’s only been one problem I couldn’t directly solve and had to settle for a substitute with.
The total is 11 weapons, 6 techs, 2 components, 1 army, 1 building and 1 brand new feature.
I was considering adding another version of that extra feature, but since I couldn’t get it to do exactly what I wanted the other version would be a bit too overpowered.
The idea was so that if you had a ship in orbit it’d give modifiers to the planet below, but I couldn’t get it to remove the modifier when the ship left orbit. So I had to stick it on a timer.
However that would nullify the decision making of “is it worth leaving a ship in orbit” if all you had to do was put it on a patrol route of all your planets to trigger the timed modifier repeatedly on all of them.

So today I realised I actually have three artists drawing for me simultaneously right now.
My wallet must be crying.
Here’s the breakdown:
The first artist I ever commissioned is doing a meme sketch for me from an old art trend.
My second regular artist of choice is drawing my character using magic for the first time.
And the third artist is a friend of mine who drew me a valentine themed piece when I realised what month it was and the fact I hadn’t thought of it while commission the previous two people…

The second season of Princess Connect is being quite interesting.
They’re not following all the beats of the games main story, but seem to be opting to adapt the side content from old events in a seemingly arbitrary order.
And then tying in some subplots from the main story into them.
Honestly, whoever wrote this must have either been a fan of the game or was very dedicated to their research.
Some of the references and event content they’ve covered are relatively niche as far as I am aware.

My migraine has finally passed so I was able to focus and do these ones!
Hurray.
In other news, taking advantage of my recovered state I worked a bit more on fine tuning my mod for Stellaris, you know as you typically would.
So far I’ve adjusted the damage numbers for the new weapons a bit to be more in line with the vanilla, though I do need to adjust one of them further.
Then I added a new aux tech for ships to increase evasion.
And now I am adding a new type of jump-drive.

I want to be able to think properly.
