I am exhausted and in pain and cutting corners.
Look I have work tomorrow and I feel like a zombie right now.
Cut me some slack.
Hopefully I get covid or something and can claim time off haha.

I am exhausted from comiccon.
Don’t expect much in commentary today.
Oh right.
The fanart is almost done, I’ll share the commission soon.
It might be next week because I want to write a little story to go with.

So Hololive Gen 1 girls got updates to their Live2D models again.
And I’m so very very glad that Aki got to keep her patta patta sensors.
They were my favourite part of her outfit and all of her other outfits swap them out for other things, similar but different.
I was worried they’d be replaced in this one too.
Anyway, the reveal stream was great fun, Fubuki made it great.
Happy it went well.

Had I known that I was going to be dragged to comicon this week I would have kept my paperback copies of Magical Explorer and Otome Mob unread in reserve for the train trip.
Well I have about a dozen unread volumes of light novels on my kindle I can read too I suppose, plenty to catch up on.
It’s also possible that J-Novel will put out a couple of prepubs for the day too. Which reminds me, Should bring my charging cable for the train trip.
Luckily the High Speed trains here have sockets on their seats for this purpose. Should keep my phone alive for the trip there and back even if I play some games on the way the whole time.
Other than that it should be fine.

There’s a lot of anime this season to discuss so let’s talk about the recent ones that I took interest in.
The first is Lycoris Recoil, wasn’t sure entirely what to expect but so far it’s been really well written and was quite exciting! The duo dynamic is well established too, I like it.
Prima Doll was a massive let down though, the first episode was shaky at best, there’s no real hook and the characters are rather undeveloped and bland at the moment.
Engage Kiss has no right to be as good as it is, skilfully walking the fine line between parody and serious, overall I am very impressed.
And of course as a reader of the Light Novel I had to give Black Summoner a shot and I think they’ve done a good job at capturing Kelvin’s uniqueness in the genre, hopefully it holds up, I liked the teaser for the future party members too, although they didn’t show Rion yet. Hiding her I suppose.

Well I’m going to be providing a guided tour for my parents and a family friend tomorrow.
For reasons unknown to me they spontaneously decided to go to comicon in London this Sunday.
Naturally as the resident otaku they have roped me in to being their support.
Seriously I’m not sure why I have been pulled into this but whatever.
I got free tickets out of it.
Although I’m not sure if that’s a blessing given all the memorabilia I might end up buying.

I didn’t think it possible but Slime Sage’s anime somehow managed to make the guy more boring than ever imaginable.
It really goes to show that generic protagonists only work because 70% of their character is internal monologue.
When you put them in anime it just… becomes dull.
Well they managed to make him even more dull in the anime because he barely speaks at all.
Even Princess Connects protagonist had more personality.

I actually read ahead a lot for this section the novel which is something I rarely do so I can give my first time impressions on chapters as I edit them for posting.
That’s just how much I’ve been enjoying this arc.
Yep you heard that right, despite me having complete access to every translated chapter ever done I rarely go faster than you guys.
That means even the patreon people are ahead of me usually.
They could literally spoil it for me.
Imagine that.

I totally forgot this was the season for the new other Strike Witches spin off.
This time it’s about idols!
I guess they got bored of multiple seasons, an ova and a movie all about the fighting.
I do wonder why they went with idols though.
I guess it’s a good excused? Propaganda and trauma soothing and all?
Well, the first episode was… okay I guess?

Dear fellow readers,
not sure why I stole that intro from a decently interesting youtube channel there but I did.
You’ll all be happy to know that the artwork is now officially underway as per popular vote on concept sketches on the discord.
And no, not just the general discord, but the patreon only channel on the discord.
Yes, good for you patreons, you got to vote.
Anyway, the artwork is underway, no ETA because it’s literally only been concepted so far.
And to keep stealing from that youtube channel.
What a time to be alive.

Lots of new licenses from J-Novel club this weekend.
Quite a few isekais, couple of romances.
There’s also this edgy revenge version of Gacha Girl Corps?
Not sure what to expect from that one but I plan on reading it all the same.
Revenge stories are bit hit or miss for me, but this might be a hit so I have to take the chance.
Let’s hope it works out.

I just watched a very interesting video on the concept of a European Federation.
Honestly it sounds kind of cool.
Too bad the UK would be to bigoted to actually get involved if it happened.
I still really want to make a Stellaris empire based on Brexit and just go to the extreme of saying that the UK left Earth entirely when it became a unified federation.

Something about Sunday’s really drains my motivation.
It’s almost like I have to go to work on Monday’s.
Though, probably not for long. My contract ends in two months and I doubt they’re going to renew it honestly.

So the copy of Otome Mob I preordered last year finally shipped this month and then the day it was meant to be delivered?
Well apparently it got damaged. So they’re refunding me. But that’s not the worst part.
They’re refunding me what it cost me to order it… which is less than it will cost me to order a replacement!
At this point I would have preferred a probably mildly bent copy instead of having to reorder.
To console myself I bought the first two copies of Magical Explorer after repeatedly pondering if I wanted to get the physicals or not because Amazon finds them to risqqqqueeee- for their puritan kindle store.
I had a lot of fun rereading them with art. Looking forward to Volume 3 since that’s where I last read up to in the web novel version.

I didn’t get any time to play Stellaris today.
I’m thinking of making a fork of my mod which packages up just the vanilla Stellaris content additions.
Basically just the stuff related to entities already in the game, that aren’t specifically themed after other science fiction franchises.
The buildable Tiyanki, the reverse engineered Mining Drones and the Nanite content probably fit quite neatly together like that.
