My work is finally coming to an end, I would like to say “and then I can rest”.
But I actually still have some stuff to work on elsewhere.
You know what they say, no rest for the wicked or whatever it is.
Well, I’ll burn that bridge when I get to it.
Merry Christmas!
We have three chapters for you today, as a celebration.
This is the first.
Chapter 215 Part 1 and 2 will follow after this, I hope you all have a good holiday!
The Girls Frontline community has been restored to its proper form…
That is to say, dragging decade old internet memes out of their graves for the best quality joke content to cross the great firewall.
So many classic memes got new animations just to celebrate Girls Frontline 2 reaching its first anniversary.
So because of my friends I just read a thread on that Infinity Nikki games lore and I’m just…
Yeah, boy that’s a setting!
That’s a setting that rivals Touhou on gameplay to lore contrivances.
I have never seen a setting that so obviously worked backwards from gameplay context to lore implementation.
They definitely did a thing.
I was hoping to be able to finish all the launch story content of Girl’s Frontline 2 today, but sadly I fell a bit short.
There’s one more level gate between me and the end of the story, and sadly I just didn’t quite have enough xp to make it over the line.
Well, I could have if I was willing to spend the gacha currency on refills… but I’m not heartless enough for that.
What if I need it to get girls I love later on?! I must hoard it all.
You can tell that it is winter proper here now.
Some places even had snow.
Actually considering how far north the UK is it’s weirder that we don’t get much snow compared to other northern places…
We must owe that to the fact we have several temperature regulating climate influences perhaps?
Seriously, people underestimate just how far north the UK is.
This chapter was an experience…
I am starting to get increasingly concerned by everything going on in this plot…
In all honestly I think this novel has gone a bit off the rails for my exact preference.
Well, it’s not gone bad yet though, it’s just not what I would read it for.
Anyway, it’s not like I am dropping this or anything either, so I don’t know why I am saying it at all.
Earlier this week during my regular shopping run, I purchased one of the new flavours of my favourite energy drink.
I finally managed to get through the bottle today, it took me quite a while to drink it all.
It wasn’t exactly unpalatable, but the longer you drank it the more distinct the flavour got.
It meant that it was quite hard to finish off basically.
I wouldn’t say that I dislike it but it would definitely be my last choice.
Next time I go to the shop I will purchase the other new flavour and see how that compares…
We finally escaped the many many many many many numbered chapters!
PROGRESS PEOPLE!
THIS IS WHAT PROGRESS LOOKS LIKE!
In all seriousness, I had got rather bored of that previous section… maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad in Light Novel format?
Hmmm.
Speaking of Light Novels I am reading the latest ReZero volume after catching up and I am really enjoying it again.
We’ve spent a whole 11 chapters on this section now!
I’m starting to question the author, anyone else feeling like this is getting dragged out a bit?
Maybe it’s because we’re reading at a weekly pace it feels even longer?
I’m not sure what the original release rate was for these chapters, that might be something worth factoring in actually.
I have been spying on my friends activity on discord.
In the past twelve hours they have gone from playing Satisfactory, to playing Assassin’s Creed, to playing Terraria.
I am not sure what the throughline is on this games to connect them all but that sure is a spread.
Today I learned there is a seething hatred for the canon version of the Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2 protagonist…
I don’t really get why, one argument I saw was the really bad novels which, fair I get. But you can consider those non-canon anyway.
The name is meant to just be the stand in so the character can be referenced in main lore.
I don’t really understand the hatred specifically for it…
Well I can also understand people wanting their adventure to have been reflected…
Like if BG3 was to be added to the main canon it’d be probably be with the character of “Tav” and the different epilogues vary wildly… so I would be curious as to what they ran with…
I almost posted this chapter with a blank page and titled “Post Update”…
Oops!
Yeah that’s what I get for going on autopilot in the middle of the editing process, I just copied it over and was about to hit publish without doing all the small details in the sidebar!
That would have been a disaster, people would have complained!
Imagine getting complaints on the internet!
Tomorrow is the start of the Baldur’s Gate sale!
Also apparently I was meant to schedule the first few chapters of Small Fry today.
For some reason I thought it was next week.
Maybe I got told it was next week but forgot about timezones?
Uh.
Regardless, I will have to get to that… tomorrow… not today…
So it might be late. Oops.
