If you were a wizard in a fantasy world what would you pick as your “basic attack spell”?
I personally would probably use something like magic missile.
It’d be extra cool if it was like I had reincarnated or something though, because then I’d make my magic missiles look like actual mini-ballistic missiles.

I have a great love for technology so blending it with magic would be a great unique style indeed.

Today I realised I am many chapters behind on ReZero’s WN and an entire volume behind on Magical Index.
Ooooof.
I need to binge read soon, and since my internet keeps cutting out this seems like a good chance!

Destiny has spoketh!
The stars have long ordained this or something I dunno I can’t remember Mona’s line I haven’t even used her yet she’s still at 0 exp.

My parents got me a chocolate advent calendar at the start of the month and I put it on my desk for each morning.
Apparently while in a sleep deprived fuelled grinding session one day I managed to eat half the chocolates on autopilot without realising.
I went to open todays one and it was already eaten…along with next weeks too…

Oops?

So I went to schedule this and I almost failed to notice, but I thought someone was double compensating on the Blue Sky chapter numbers.
Because the author posted a chapter saying they wouldn’t have a chapter we have to correct the chapter number to -1 of their Korean counterpart.
But this file and the ones after were -2!

I was assuming this is because Silva is trying to adjust the chapter number that has already been corrected by the translator. Turned out the author had misnumbered the chapter! So we had to correct it twice over! But anyway, just thought I’d let people know before we all forgot what number was what again. Because that will happen. Inevitably.
It doesn’t help that the author is messing with us like this.

So are you guys on top of the “nii-nii” vs “big brudder” debate?
I think it’s very interesting personally.

So an anime episode recently translated “nii-nii” as “big brudder”
And I get what they were going for…
And also understand that there is absolutely no English equivalent to “nii-nii” which is basically a childish and endearing way of saying “onii-” which only has the close equivalent of “big brother”.
But I can feel part of my soul dying imaging someone actually calling their brother “big brudder”.

On the flip side they can’t leave it as “nii-nii” because then it’s not a translation at all…

Insert tired joke of “Transators Note: Nakama means comrade but I decided to leave it as the original because it has more emotional impact this way”

The internet seems quite divided on the matter.
Although it seems to be degrading into:
“People don’t want good translations, they just want validation that they’re a true fan” vs “This is cringey as hell please just use the terms we’re used to”!
In this scenario anyway I lean towards the cringe faction, but I’m already too deep in this rabbit hole to have an impartial opinion and translations aren’t made to service me they’re supposed to make the medium accessible to a larger audience.

So are there any games people have been into lately that they’d suggest picking up?
For me it has to be Tears of Avia, still loving it even now.
But what about you guys?

Any suggestions for games I should go look at? Maybe add to my wishlist.
I probably won’t buy them ever but I can always consider it right?
I actually have a book that’s been sat as unshipped for a month now. Damn covid stuff.

Okay the hiccup of chapter counts has been properly resolved.
You might see some doubles on NovelUpdates. That’s okay. Ish.
Basically the author skipped a chapter and we got all fuddled up with the number count recently.

How are people doing on the Genshin event anyway?
I’ve almost cleared the shop somehow. I thought I’d be a day slower than this. I used some fragile resin to kill world bosses but that’s it.
The coop part will be fun. Probably.
