Sword, Tiara & High Heels Side Story 8

New Chapter!
Do you ever have a conversation that ends up in your researching a truly strange topic?
In my case today it was studying about regional variances in gemstones.

Like this one type of gemstone that is basically only found in Finland and Madagascar…
Which are… not really two you’d normally compare together, let alone against the rest of the world right?
Amazing how things develop like this.

Sword, Tiara & High Heels Side Story 7

New Chapter!
Today I learned about rotor sails.
I understand logically they’re sound, the maths makes sense, but they just feel like someone is exploiting a glitch in the physics engine…

What do you mean spinning a featureless upright tube can pull a boat along?
It feels wrong!!! Wrong I tell you!

God’s Gofer Chapter 29

New Chapter!
Hello everyone, it’s your favourite science fiction nerd to give you another update on the art progress of his current original characters scifi redesign!
We started over again!
Yeah… nobody saw it coming, I know… but we suddenly got a burst of inspiration from Honkai of all places.

Originally we were leaning heavily on the Phantasy Star Online 2 kind of aesthetic, but we were struggling to create two coherent versions of the main outfit, since my friend wants to cosplay it so we needed a cosplay appropriate version. Yes, I have friends, yes they cosplay, yes this one is female too.
Anyway, that’s all, here’s your chapter.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 95

New Chapter!
Because I have been reading while leaning on the arms of my chair more lately, my elbows have become dry and irritated…
It’s not really a big deal and will go away when I stop reading all hours of the day…
But it’s annoying at least on a minor nuisance level to me right now.

Oh well, even if I say something like “I will get some lotion” or whatever, I’ll just forget to use it because my brain can’t handle remembering anything not built into my default routine.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 94

New Chapter!
This chapter was quite short so it surprised me, but a chapter is a chapter! Here it is.

I spent several hours today trying to help the AI in my game achieve its goal in one of the dynamic random events that it can do…
It was very futile of me, I could have done it infinitely faster myself, but I set a limit for myself at the start to not do any combat encounters myself.
So I was trying to provide support to the AI but they just kept getting distracted…

The goal of the playthrough is to help my allied factions conquer the galaxy without building my own military (with the exception of anti-piracy measures).
Mostly so far I’ve done this by supporting their economy, but I am gaining enough money now to start funding their militaries directly… soon, very soon.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 1113

New Chapter!
So I finally reached 300 hours in X4.
Given that I played like 200 hours during my first hyperfixation when I got the game four years ago I guess that means I have about 100 hours left to go before I move on this time…

In other news my summer themed commission of my original character is done!
You can go find it at the account of the talented Maru Selinn.
Actually given the content it might be on the side account, if you know what I mean…
Well, I am sure you can find it if you’re interested enough-.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 1112

New Chapter!
A bunch of people who worked in Blue Archive have ran off to try and make their own project…
And it’s basically “What if we made Blue Archive but made it about swords?”
That said, it’s one of those artist multimedia project type things, so it could be a total disaster.
Last time I saw a multimedia project was Qualidea Code and that SUCKED!

Also this reminds me entirely of how the Arknights team were all people that worked on Girls Frontline and Neural Cloud at Mica before they made Hypergryph and basically stole all the effort.

10/10 move there.

Automata Maid Chapter 197

New Chapter!
For the first time in a while I am actually not sure what to write here.
It’s been a while since I had nothing at all to write about here!
Hm, nothing overly interesting in my games has happened either.

Well, I suppose in my current X4 Foundations playthrough an interesting sandbox event happened due to the dynamic AI.
The pacifist Boron race have started to invade the warrior Split patriarchy.
Should we call it preemptive diplomacy?
They are hardcoded to hate each other, so the war would have happened one way or the other, I just never expected the Boron to start the invasion…

God’s Gofer Chapter 28

New Chapter!
I had an interesting world building discussion today on making a science fiction setting using fantasy tropes.
It was kind of interesting trying to create the feeling of a fantasy adventure setting using scifi.
I know stuff like Phantasy Star exists which also does it, fairly well too.

Oh and I don’t mean like Warhammer, sure that pigeon holes fantasy tropes into a scifi shaped package but it’s more like science fantasy than scifi using fantasy tropes…
If that even makes sense.

Sword, Tiara & High Heels Side Story 6

New Chapter!
We’re now half way trough the side stories, that means only a few more weeks left of this story in total.
It feels kind of weird actually, this story had a weird start and took some interesting turns that others don’t.
Yet at the same time it felt very cliche… and very rushed.

Well, that’s kind of what one should expect from amateur self publishing I suppose, not everything will live to its potential.
We should just be thankful someone wrote it in the first place.

Sword, Tiara & High Heels Side Story 5

New Chapter!
So someone I don’t know used a screenshot of a reddit post I made explaining a thing, to explain a thing to someone else I don’t know, in a discord server that I am not in, that then got screenshot and sent in another discord server that I am not in, but someone who knows me was in, who screenshot that to send to in another discord server that I am in.

Which is just the most surreal way to learn somehow a year old post on a gacha game subreddit is in circulation.

God’s Gofer Chapter 27

New Chapter!
So apparently earlier this week there was a grand global purge of pretty much every majorly significant anime piracy site, which you know, fair enough…
But the anime archivists are now in tears trying to work out which shows have been lost into the chasm between “too old” and “formerly legal” to obtain.

And you don’t even have to go far back for this problem to start occurring either…
GATE, one of my favourite anime, has been removed from Crunchyroll for a long time since their license expired, and the dvds/bluray were a limited run and went out of sale years before that.
In other words, the only way to watch this anime at all right now is to pirate it, and it’s not even ten years old!
This is what happens when one company has the entire licensing market…

It’s September!
Wow, time really flies…
That means it will soon be the new school season here in the UK…
Not that I have gone to school in like an entire decade, but you know, things just remain associated like that.

If you are one of those people returning to school after the summer, then good luck to you.
May your grades be high and face be unslapped.
In the meantime our girls here will be ending their summer too!

Alchemist Startover Chapter 92

New Chapter!
I had a day that started with pure stress today, that was not fun.
I am now having to go through the complaint process with the civil service too…
Also not fun.

But oh well, battles must be fought eventually. I just hope this resolves neatly, worst case scenario and my government support is being cut off…
Autism is no fun when stuff like this happens, literally all started because I said I avoid answering my phone whenever possible.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 1111

New Chapter!
It’s Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Eleven! Hmm, doesn’t sound as impressive in writing…
Maybe if you phrase it “One Thousand One Hundred One Ten and One”? That sounds like something a German would say…

Anyway, my entertainment for today was live updates on my friend having to renew their passport.
Including things like getting up late, the bus not being on time, having to go back home for a document, having to get an expensive taxi, getting directed to the wrong building, getting directed to the wrong floor of the right building, then getting delayed by an emergency meeting…
It was a very amusing series of events where everything that could go wrong at some point did go wrong.
