One of my friends has been playing Starfield for a good solid 10 hours today.
In one day.
Almost non-stop. Well they kept the game open but went for breaks and stuff.

I think they will soon eclipse my play-time and have me beat despite my head start.
They might need help, professional consultation pending.

When it comes to posting chapters sometimes I get stuck on the pre-chapter rambles for longer than when I have to do the actual editing.
Especially on days like today where I need to come up with four unique things.

So lets talk about manga and comics etc that I am reading.
I started Catastrophic Necromancer recently, which is like if Solo Levelling and Versatile Mage had a child together.
I also found out that Legend of Star General hadn’t actually been dropped but for some reason wasn’t on mangadex for a whole bunch of chapters? I don’t remember anything that happened though so I might drop it anyway.

And then uh… just my usual isekai trash!

In a discord I’m in one of the people of the server regularly reports on the state of allergens in the area, such as pollens and molds etc.
But they always preface the posts with stuff like “Atlanta is trying to kill me” for example.

My brain always defaults to imagining Jason’s ultimate ability in Fate which just summons the Argonauts to his side, who then relentless bully him.
“Why is Atalanta trying to kill you?”

Anyway just goes to show how I read things.

As you know I’ve been playing Starfield lately.
I have 27 hours in it so far (from official release, not early access!) and recently finished the UC Vanguard storyline.
I really enjoyed that one, and it had some great world building stuff in it!

I don’t mean lore either.
I mean actual player impact on the world at large!
There were multiple points in the story where the news radio spoke about stuff I was doing, where NPCs changed their reactions, and where there were little set pieces in the levels to reflect ongoing events, and then at the end there were distinct changes in the attitudes of some people in radiant dialogue.

Since this is an Automata chapter let’s discuss Nier Automata.
Only one thing though…

Has anyone else noticed how weirdly frequent Nier does collabs with things?
Like why is that?
Do companies want Nier collabs? Does Nier want collabs? It’s a big franchise so do they just not charge much for collabs? Or what?
It’s strange to me! I want to know!

You know these chapters seem to have very little in theming with the chapter titles lately.
I wonder why that is.
I don’t mean specifically, but just in general.

I mean it used to be extremely literal, so it stands out now.
I bring it up because this time the title is finally relevant to the chapter.

It’s chapter 111!
I like it when they do this.
I’m also a fan of chapter 101’s specifically because it reminds me of the first ever username I used online back in the day.

(It ended in a 101)
It’s interesting to me that this originated in US education number but somehow became ubiquitous with tutorials.
