Oh dear, it’s almost mothers day.
Well I have a card at least.
I haven’t wrote in it yet uh…
I should do that.

Actually, gonna do that now.

I failed to manage avoiding spoilers for Blue Archive today.
Alas, I can’t even remember what sparked it.
I think it was someone talking about it on discord, shortly followed by me finding the new OST updates on youtube with screenshots.

Either way, I decided to dive into the rabbit hole.

Not much of a ramble for today, as I mentioned in the previous novels ramble.
I’m feeling pretty under the weather.
So I’m gonna keep these short to climb into bed and rest.

And so my work here is done.
Almost a full hour it took in total.
Hope you guys appreciate what I do for you getting these online.

Well it usually takes me longer because I get distracted so.
Well let’s just call it even.

I lost my gold rank position in Blue Archive today, I fell into silver.
I guess my early lead was eroded over time or something, which is sad and a little annoying.
The raid isn’t very beginner friendly to be honest, since it has a crowd control requirement gimmick, I only held on as long as I did because of luck I guess.

I’ll have to keep it in mind for the future!
Not that it will change anything pffft. I will have gained levels by then and probably new characters, so I will be fighting in the big leagues (not).
I’m an entire year behind on the game, catching up is out of the question.

Kerbal Space Program 2 seems to have started its advertising campaign.
It’s wild to me, I remembering being there, playing the early release version.
Editing the text files to give my thrusters stupendously excessive thrust values and causing everything to fall apart.

Those take me back.
I was never very good at the game even in base form.
I did retry a year ago with the new campaign and science stuff but, wasn’t very good either.

Oh well, such is life.

As I was editing this it decided to rain really loudly, and then a car alarm started going off.
Those are not two noises you want in your ear at the same time, I don’t want an America simulator please.
Anyway.

This week you get both halves of the Automata Maid chapter at once.
So no cliffhanger, well, sort of, no midchapter cliffhanger anyway.
You guys know what I mean.

Did I mention it the previous chapter?
I think I forgot.
Oops.

Anyway, sorry these two chapters are late.
The schedule for what chapters to schedule didn’t have these on it.
So I kind of forgot to them because I was busy at my aunts for a party last night.

I take full responsibility for not remember without using the schedule, but blame the schedule manager for not adding the chapters more.

Valentine is officially over.
Anyone get any chocos?
I bought myself a chocolate bar I haven’t seen in stock for years!
Guess the store stocked up on a variety of chocolates for valentines and that was included.

It was nice.
I enjoyed it a lot.

Given the topic of these few chapters I find it quite amusing that they will be happening both sides of Valentines.
Of course, not on Valentines because the schedule won’t line up, but leading up to and coming out from.

Honestly couldn’t have timed it much better!
Makes me wonder what the DSM chapters on Valentine’s will be about.
Certainly not this, given what’s going on currently.

Hm, maybe I should write a special.

Neuro-sama ended up singing Shelter today.
I decided to go watch the original for a nostalgia trip afterwards and I totally forgot what a gut punch in the feels that video is.
It really reminds me of Voices of a Distant Star too.

Both of them deal with the themes of loneliness and love in a sci-fi setting.
I think that, by virtue of being more recent, Shelter does it better.
But I suggest going out to watch Voices of a Distant Star if you like the story of Shelter.
Both are relatively short.

I have started to fall deep into the Blue Archive hell after starting to play again.
I managed to make a lot of progress in the story, I’m now up to the second half of the Eden Treaty.
I’ve made quite a bit of headway in the current event too, but I’ve obviously hit a wall as far as my level will allow me to go.
So now it’s just optimising my farming for the event currencies so that I can make the most of the material offerings.

Sadly my level isn’t high enough to get the true best rewards, but that’s fine.

I ran a sort of Session 0 for my Star Trek Adventures rpg campaign.
We made the ship and we made a couple of characters, though the characters aren’t finished.
We only have two of the characters down and there might be five players, though one third character is half done in concept.

The starship itself is pretty much set up too with the exception of hte name, but they also want a starbase, so I need to work on that.
The starbase makes sense given the context of the campaign so I shall conceded this annoying technicality.

Recently the formatting of some of the google docs does not translate over well to the site.
But the only fix is going through and deleting loads of lines, which is tiresome at best.

So, I’m gonna see how bad it is, if nobody complains I won’t bother fixing it.

Personally for me one of the more interesting things about online communities is the way they go from really busy in one part of the day to completely inactive in the others.
And this isn’t because of a lack of people either, or that everyone happens to be in the same time zone, or are even busy.
It’s such a strange part of internet psychology that everyone just happens to collectively take a break when activity reduces slightly, reducing the activity further.

I would see if there were any studies on it but I don’t really care that much.
