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.
Tomorrow is the start of the Baldur’s Gate sale!
Also apparently I was meant to schedule the first few chapters of Small Fry today.
For some reason I thought it was next week.
Maybe I got told it was next week but forgot about timezones?
Uh.
Regardless, I will have to get to that… tomorrow… not today…
So it might be late. Oops.
I got very distracted doing some other work and neglected doing this.
Then got a migraine… talk about timing.
It took me so many hours to finish this editing.
I blame Satisfactory… even though I stopped playing early to get this done… it was a rather unrewarding decision in hindsight.
I should have kept playing until the migraine started. What a great regret.
Anyway, here is your chapter… meanwhile I watch more Kenshi stuff on the side.
The realm of Satisfactory kidnapped me today…
I spent several hours just trying to organise some basic stuff…
Literally just the starter iron production factory took me hours because I made the dumb idiot move of dismantling everything before rebuilding it…
So I had nothing producing the parts I needed to organise everything… so I had to make them by hand…
Yeah.
But it works now!
Automation is king!
Now I need to do the same for my Copper production line… before I start work on the Steel production line… but first I need coal power…
The factory never stops growing.
Chapter 100!
Recently I have been hit by a strong desire to play Baldur’s Gate and my friends constantly streaming it and inviting me to join them on a multiplayer campaign hasn’t helped…
In a few days Steam is doing the RPG sale so I am going to pick it up then if it’s on sale, but really, my friends aren’t making it easy to wait even a few more days.
Well, whatever the case, I am sloooowly making my way through Satisfactory content…
My X (formerly known as Twitter) app is in shambles.
The DMs lock up and freeze every time I try to open certain conversations, it’s becoming really hard to coordinate with some artists on there now.
I have to use the browser version to carry on conversation.
It didn’t used to do this, is it based on the new android update?
Did they screw up some backend on the site?
I would like it fixed please…
Out of interest today I put myself to work using ChatGPT to generate some scifi stories.
Nothing major, I basically just plugged in brief descriptions of key plot moments from games to see what it would come up with.
It did a surprisingly good job at creating compelling narratives from the X Series of games to be fair.
I wonder if it’s because of the overall historical approach to how it handles the lore events works well with the generation system?
I tried some halo inspired ones but they went in wild directions compared to what I imagined…
Chapter 200.
Honestly this should feel like an impressive milestone, Japanese web novels rarely ever make it this far…
But then you compare it to the Chinese ones and yeah.
Somehow 200 doesn’t feel that impressive.
Especially when you see the web novels in the thousands…
It’s weird how we always compare things to deflate or inflate their value isn’t it?
I apologise if a few more errors slipped through today.
One of my friends was sick so I spent most of the time checking in on them.
Was a bit difficult to multitask, but what can you do, this is what being a friend is all about.
I hope you enjoy the chapter though, I did at least!
So, this is the end of our journey together.
Sadly the author just… stops here.
Yup, they vanished into the infinite abyss of wherever they went to.
Well, I won’t fault them, writing is a committent and sometimes other things just happen.
So as we say, onwards!
I think I have been put in charge of posting a new novel after this, but I forgot what one it is that’s replacing this novels slot.
I should really have checked this so I could inform you, but just check the new releases of this site and I am sure you’ll find something to read! And maybe it’s the one I started to work on next week!
The scifi redesign for my character is finally finally finally reaching the end.
Kind of amazing to think about, it took forever.
We went through several design iterations.
We’ve ended on something vaguely dragon/dinosaur themed with a tail attachment, but now we need to finalise the weapon design.
Then the smaller details need to be settled on. We have too many ideas for them all so it’s a mix-and-match type situation for which ones work best together.
This is my second day in a row craving biscuits.
I thought it was just a yesterday thing… oh well, I guess I will face reality.
Tomorrow I will buy some!
That should work well. Unless I suddenly don’t want any.
Knowing my luck… might be possible.
Nintendo just utterly destroyed a mobile game inspired by Pokemon, which they had just about enough legal right to do for obvious reasons.
But now they’ve set their sights on Palworld. Yup. Now of all times…
It’s hilarious to me because they haven’t gone in on IP grounds, because I guess they know they have no leg to stand on. Apparently it’s a court case over Patent Infringement instead.
So oh boy, we’re going into the legislation quagmire of copyrighting game mechanics!
And the patent that it appears that Pokemon is trying to use against Palworld is literally “The mechanic of throwing an object at a creature to capture it in a 3d open world space”.
The most basic of mechanical concepts ever.
An American my friend knows has started binge watching Doctor Who from 2005 onwards.
So far they haven’t overly reacted to anything specifically British, but they’ve had some fun with it.
They’ve reached the first regeneration Christmas special apparently.
There was a good laugh about our memories of the spinning Christmas tree of death, interesting what sticks in your mind isn’t it?
Actually my first episode of Doctor Who was after that, I had to go back and watch it later on after I was already a fan for a bit.
