Alchemist Startover Chapter 24

New Chapter!
Yamato 3199 got a trailer, seems like the Japanese release is July.
Couldn’t tell if it’s going the route of the previous release and doing a theatrical first then being split for TV or the original release and doing TV first then combined for theatrical. I did find one place saying it would be 7 films, which sounds insane but it adds up, I think 2202 was like that.
From the garbled google translate article I found for it, they seem to be using a lot of the setup for Be Forever Yamato as per the namesake.
I hope they fix some of the really weird plotholes and weak developments. The original was a singular movie so multiplying the runtime means they can really focus on fleshing out the narrative.

I have high hopes for it. 2199 and 2205 were really good, I didn’t enjoy 2202 very much at all in comparison though.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 23

New Chapter!
One of the things I like about the setting for Frieren is that the mages in it don’t sit about twiddling their thumbs when it comes to researching spells.
A spell that the 4 strongest people in the world were completely unable to defend against 80 years ago gets reduced to the level of generic attack magic after it’s researched, and countermeasures are developed and improved. There’s a sense of progress and development for magic instead of everyone just trying to reclaim past glory like you see in other settings.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 22

New Chapter!
This chapter is one of the first ones to really highlight how entrenched this novel is with the author’s other works and their RPG.
Beware, the wiki is a rabbit hole, and with spoilers.
The character design art on there though is absolute fire.
Some really great work from the artist.

Not that you should spoil yourself.
I did it as part of my job!

New Chapter!
Hello everyone!
I’m a bit tired of repeating myself now but…
Christmas releases are here!
People who have already read this explanation can skip to the chapter.

People reading this for the first time, I’m currently posting a bunch of extra chapters for Christmas.
Well actually, just three for Alchemist right now (I almost typed Alchemist Code habitually there) and then I will be done.
I hope you all enjoy the three hours of extra work I have done for you all.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 17

New Chapter!
With the advent of the Steam sale upon us I have to wonder if Baldur’s Gate will go on sale or not.
Obviously there’s a lot of pressure and reason to, but they’re also still in their golden time.
I wouldn’t fault them for not wanting to lose out on the money by staying full price…
But with the game awards people will want them to do a sale…
I guess they will compromise and do a very small discount?

Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 16

New Chapter!
The new Stellaris beta update has essentially lifted its entire core gameplay gimmick from a popular mod wholesale.

New beta update to the tech tree:
– Replaced basic research technologies such as Quantum Theory with Breakthrough Technologies. Breakthrough Technologies will only appear once you have researched enough techs of your current tier and are required to research to reach the next tier.
– Breakthrough Technologies become easier to research based on the number of other empires you have low Tech intel on that have already researched them.
– Enigmatic Engineering blocks your Breakthrough Technologies from spreading.

Popular mod Technology Ascendant:
– This adds thirteen breakthrough technologies, one for each specialization (particles, materials, biology, etc)
– Breakthroughs have a unique spread system, and depending on your relationship with your neighbors you are more or less likely to learn their secrets over time.
– The Enigmatic Engineering perk however will block breakthrough spread.

New Chapter!
My parents hosted a relatively spontaneous christmas-ish party today.
I maaaay have stolen a lot of snacks.
However, in my defence I am usually quite tame with how many snacks I take, deciding to take them after everyone else has…
And then I end up with none!

I have learned from my mistakes, from now and into the future I will help myself generously.
