I am very close to finishing Reverse Collapse’s main story now.
I have two missions left, but then I have to get the final few achievements.
And then I need to play the hidden retro mode so that I can complete everything.
How fun it shall be!
Apparently they might be making a proper follow up though! Which has me excited.
My artist friend suddenly bombarded me with massive progress on a commission I made ages ago and forgot about.
Like, they got round to it and did huge progress in one day!
Absolutely wild!
My favourite little bit of detail in Reverse Collapse is the genetically engineered half-alien effectively-immortal superhuman (who willingly endured open surgery without anaesthetic) still shivers in fear if you move more than four tiles away from her on the zombie levels.
Has zero gameplay impact. But her little chibi sprite shivers if she’s on her own.
Cool, proud, composed, traveller of timelines, heroic badass Jefuty.

In case anyone is interested in playing a SRPG where scifi soviet union goes to war with even-more-scifi soviet union and sees that Reverse Collapse has really negative reviews, please ignore them, the Chinese playerbase are uh… not fans of the developers currently.
Also Fire Emblem fans are weirdly hating on the game too?
I spread the gospel of Othinus glory today.
It was a good day.
Also, today is the day that Reverse Collapse releases.
Let us all bask in the cuteness of Jefuty!
So I could talk about the Niji news…
OR…
I could talk about the new DC anime.
Which I will call SS ISEKAI, because uh, need to be ad friendly here, wink wink.
The trailer was actually quite promising! Yeah, way more decent than I expected overall.
I will be looking forward to it now instead of just morbidly curious.
Been playing the new Project Neural Cloud event.
The story is building up some history. I was surprised to learn that the flashback event isn’t genuinely a flashback.
But rather you experiencing the past through a replay simulation essentially.
But within the context of the story it makes sense, and it means that the player character is around.
Although I feel like they’ve not made much use of it yet. Maybe later it will change.
But so far it feels like the player character has just gone through the motions of what already happened, instead of having their unique personality effect events.
So, I ended up with two copies of the same book.
Not the end of the world.
A bit annoying I had to pay twice in the end after six months of delays.
But what can you do.
I guess I can uh… use it for a fun fire some time?
Today is a fake day!
Legally you can do whatever you want!
BE FREE PEOPLE!
I spent it fighting with Amazon customer support over them shipping a book SIX MONTHS late.
And then delaying the other book I preordered!
I actually raged and just screwed with the orders out of annoyance which just made me more annoyed.
So, I plan to stop buying physical books from Amazon out of protest.
If I can find a decent replacement…
Never preorder books on Amazon, not worth it.
I have, genuinely no idea what to write here today.
I don’t think I’ve actually done anything at all today somehow.
I just spent it chatting with friends and watching youtube.
Didn’t even play one of my two ongoing games…
I did mean to try out some more helldivers but who knows what happened that plan, gone midnight now so won’t be doing that tonight!
I was convinced by a friend to buy Helldivers today.
It was… okay?
I’m not a shooter person, I had some fun, I’m honestly on the fence about it.
The big problem I have right now is that I sit right on the refund time, so if I try it some more I can’t refund it.
But I don’t want to refund it without giving it a proper shot so it’s hard to tell.
My concern is that my social anxiety and general lack of competence at shooters will prevent me from playing with anyone except my friends, and that means I am entirely at the whim of my friends to get to play the game.
I spent most of today crossbreeding different combination of pals in palworld just to see what results I could get!
I ended up getting some pretty rare ones I think, making my way down the paldeck…
It seems that rarer pals combined tend to make rarer pals too! Makes logical sense!
The highlight of the day was the game literally guilt tripping me for crossbreeding though…
I crossbred some pals to create some new pals… then crossbred those together…
And eventually I ended up with this pal that has “Modified DNA” as their trait and a description that basically calls them an artificial abomination… oops…
I have reached the stage of palworld where I start to minmax my pals and not just my infrastructure.
I do however need to start considering where to relocate my main base for breeding and farming though.
Originally my main base was going to be my do-all base but ironically my mining base ended up being more effective after some expansion.
My Satisfactory experience of building upwards came into use there.
Now my ‘main base’ kind of languishes halfway between a breeding facility and legacy storage for things I haven’t got round to moving to my ‘mining base’.
