I saw New World Order was trending and immediately went “Oh no, not again.”
I mean the Queen just died so I was almost betting some weird Great Reset rhetoric was being thrown around about removing the monarchy or some stupid rubbish like that.
But nah it’s just another product on the marvel conveyer of consumerism.
I won another anime competition today.
This means I have a 100% win rate.
Isn’t that a little crazy?
Am I the only person in the UK entering these competitions and thus winning by default?
Or is the number of entries so small that I am just winning so often by lack of rivals?
Anyway I don’t know if I should abuse this power by entering more competitions by this company or if I should save it for when things I want show up… otherwise they might realise the pattern.
Someone I went to school with got their doctorate this week.
It feels kind of surreal to see my childhood dream getting fulfilled by someone I know.
I wonder where I lost my own way…
Was it when I started to lose motivation to try with my GCSEs?
Or when I went to a school that wouldn’t allow me to do more than two science subjects?
Or was it when I dropped out of University for failing to keep up with the modules that held no interest to me?
I should really be working on my Stellaris mods but the Genshin addiction is real.
Well, partly because of the that streaming incentive they have where you get rewards for streaming.
I think I’m already halfway through the required hours though.
Well I’ll just keep streaming while I can.
While I was on twitter today I saw someone with a Girly Air Force icon.
Girly Air Force!
I didn’t even realise that franchise had much relevancy!
Last time I saw anything about it was in the afterword of a light novel, where the author was congratulating the artist for their work on Girly Air Force being used as the basis for the anime.
Hm, I got distracted while doing this one.
So it turns out that someone started translating Vermillion again recently.
Now I remember next to nothing about that novel except that it was in my early days of reading translations, and that I was slightly bummed when it was dropped.
I’m not sure what about it I liked though or what the plot really was except isekai stuff.
It’s crazy how just by closing my curtain my room heats up so quickly.
That’s just how absurdly dependent my room is on one tiny window for ventilation.
Well it might also help if my computer wasn’t on.
Anyway the new Genshin trailer was today.
Man what a reveal.
I’m super hyped. I need to start rushing through Chasm though because I’ve only half finished my exploration for those zones.
The Trapped in a Dating Sim manga has overtaken the anime well into the next arc.
Let’s hope the anime gets a decent sequel right.
Speaking of arcs, I need to check my amazon payments.
I’m sure I have a bunch of preorders I need to keep track of.
At least a few.
In fact I have one for tomorrow, an ebook release.
After a full week of binge reading one web novel, I’m mentally exhausted.
I’m not kidding.
I started reading Little Tyrant expecting some trash. The story turned out great.
I ended up reading the entire thing in about four days. It was insane.
I did complete kill myself in the process though, barely slept because I was reading so much on my phone.
Don’t do as I did. But do read it.
I feel like I should just dedicate this entire post to talking about how amazing the character dynamic is in Lycoris Recoil.
LycoReco superiority.
Also seriously A-1 are doing amazing at not including any fanservice of the traditional sense.
I’m actually super impressed by this anime so far, I might get it on bluray if it ever gets one. Crunchyroll….. actually nevermind.
Crunchyroll’s monopolisation of the entire niche forbids me from giving them currency on principle.
I can’t think of a single thing to write here.
This is actually pretty rare for me.
Hm, how about the fact that my monthly pay is now five days late.
Well technically it’s not “late” but it’s supposed to come on the 25th up to the end of the month. Today is officially the last day of the month so…
Hard to say there. Hopefully it comes today then! Otherwise I will need to complain. Scary.
The new Genshin event has been exhausting, I’ve had no love for the exploration side of it.
Which is insane given how much I loved exploring in this game.
The event just makes the exploration part a real chore.
The island swapping mechanic makes it too hard to keep track of everything you’ve done and may have missed.
Mona’s island especially sapped all my remaining enthusiasm.
I just skipped over the rest of the content in a rapid fashion and did some basic exploring of the oceans then decided to quit.
I’ll go back to completing Tsurumi island, then on to the other two smaller regions that were released before the dendro nation eventually launches.
We have some new cover art!

You can go visit the artists twitter HERE, and you should comm them while you can because their prices are an insane steal.
Literally, please increase your charge rates artist-san! You’re really underselling yourself! But do it after I comm you okay?
