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.
It’s about 5am and I should be in bed.
But instead I am discussing with some people on discord about the design philosophy of AI app logos…
I am not sure why…
I just found the topic a bit interesting because I noticed so many were using generic nondescript star sparkles as their symbol.
And the few that weren’t were all using generic nondescript wavy line shapes.
It’s been really hot here the past couple of days.
At least not heat death levels.
But uncomfortably warm levels.
Like you might sweat but it’s possible to cool down as long as you’re aware it’s warm.
Sometimes I wish UK houses had AC.
Well, my house is 100 years old at least so… yeah that wasn’t a consideration.
Also my room has awful ventilation.
So our new internet got installed today!
It’s usually around eight times faster than it used to be! Which is great!
Or it would be if I could use it!
The house I live in was built like a hundred years ago so it obviously wasn’t built with internet in mind, there’s no proper internet cable that runs from the downstairs to the upstairs, and the one that does is from like the 1990’s… it can only handle about 50mbps… I am the only person upstairs who uses the cable so the amount of effort to change it is too much since it would mean tearing open walls…
So anyway, I have to think of a solution now. I also tried a powerline adapter but that only gained me about 10mbps more than the old cable.
I have spent the past couple of days working with an artist on a mecha musume scifi variant of my OC.
I have got very very absorbed in it.
I never realised how many individual mecha tropes I like in designs and working out the best combination was an interesting task.
Semi-related but we also somehow ended up discussing josei female lead design tropes too…
Unrelated to that, when this goes live I should be getting my new internet installed!
I will enter the age of tomorrow! Or well, catching up with society at least.
In theory it should be ten times faster, but we’ll see, we’ll see…
I had to sacrifice my internet today.
My family wanted to stream the football match on the large projector down the end of the garden, but the cable for that location is shared with my computer, which means if I do anything on my computer at the time I completely tank their speed. Of course they wouldn’t have that when they want to watch their sport ball. So I was forced to sacrifice my rights.
Well… I just used my phone as a hotspot so in reality it had no effect on me.
The first episode of Why Does Nobody Remember Me is out.
I need go watch it.
I am on the fence about it though, the studio isn’t one exactly known for this genre…
I am allowed to have apprehensions about it okay!
Well, I’m sure it won’t be terrible… probably.
After the Steins;Gate event in Neural Cloud I have suddenly got loads of Steins;Gate videos thrown at me by youtube this last couple of days.
Anyway crazy how that game is 15 years old now.
15 years!
Absolutely insane.
You can feel the passage of time between the first and second game by the fact the second game uses a smartphone while the first is a flipphone.
Do kids even know what flip phones are these days?
I just gave myself psychic damage.
I saw a tweet earlier today saying “there’s a full on Boycott happening” about Mihoyo…
I had a look and it was like 1200 people signing some petition about their dislike of Genshin character designs.
Oh noooo!
I am sure Mihoyo will feel a massive financial dent from the… checks notes
1300 people leaving from its… turns page
63 million active players!
I decided to finally finish the first season of Mashle so I could work through the second season.
It’s pretty good.
I’m not sure it’s as great as the impression everyone gave me when it started, but it’s been enjoyable.
I’m looking forward to seeing how it progresses at least, then I will move on to something else in my backlog.
It’s been a while since I watched anime properly like this… how nostalgic.
I got my artist friend to start work on redesigning my OC and they presented a scifi themed one and a fantasy themed one.
The scifi themed design was pure, pure, pure Phantasy Star vibes.
It was so on point for Phantasy Star I was shocked.
Naturally I chose it…
I mean… how couldn’t I?!
I love the magical tech aesthetic of Phantasy Star!
I will probably get a pure fantasy redesign done after… maybe…
I went to the shop today but it had closed early…
That was annoying, I don’t recall there being any warning for it either…
Oh well.
Not to mention I could have gone way earlier if I had known! But I just went at my routine time…
Sigh… woe be me.
Well, I guess I will just have to go tomorrow, really sucked to go without anything nice to snack on though.
In one weeks time I will finally enter the era of fast internet!
Not super fast internet, like you people out there with gigabit connections, but the fast internet of not being on copper broadband anymore!
Much excitement is felt here in my house, by me.
In theory my speeds should jump to about ten times their current speed, which is wonderful.
I might even get back into streaming games!
The future is bright here.
This chapter is uh…
Well…
Go read it…
I had a lot of mixed feelings.
Almost as mixed as the reception to the new Final Fantasy expansion!
Wow people seem very divided over if they love or hate the replacement main character!
The 2.5D anime was……..
A let down.
I mean why adapt trashy ecchi manga series only to completely eliminate that factor?
Just adapt something else if you don’t want it!
There are other options! Good ones even! You could adapt something legitimately amazing that people will like!
