The UN is at it again with poor management, terrible employees and general incompetence.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the UN and I think the UN is the first step towards what should be a far better future for the world.
But ideals just don’t hold up in reality.

The UN isn’t up to the task it’s taken on, and when an organisation is that big and under that much red tape, exploitation is rife.
It’s a shame, but it’s true.

I wish I could just magically take over and fix the UN honestly, as a futurist.

I commissioned another piece of art today!
This time it’s got a bit of spice involved.

Well not really, but when you have a Princess Knight it’s obvious what you need to do with it!
That’s right, the iconic, the classic, the one and only…. “just kill me” trope!

I exaggerate in a way, but the concept behind the art piece is basically the “if she was a gacha game character, this would be her damaged or defeated sprite” type of deal.
I think it will turn out interestingly.

Recently I have been lured back into Euro Truck Simulator 2 again.
No particular reason, my friends are playing it again.
Although I think the convoy multiplayer update has something to do with it, it can’t be all of it because we played the multiplayer mod before too.

Either way, it’s been fun to get back into it.
I’m very rich and the new quality of life changes are great.
I’m working to level myself up and buy the fancy new digital DAF truck.
Seems cool.

I finally gave in and decided to raise talents on Genshin Impact.
Until now I’ve only ever got them to level 6 and then left them.
But today I got one of Zhongli’s to 10, and I got all of Keqing’s to 10.
I still have three more crowns to 10 some more skills but I think I will save those for if I need them in the future.

Maybe for Eula when she gets rerun.
We’ll see what the future holds.

Hello folks!
Today marks the first day that you guys will be seeing a chapter by our new translator!
Patreon peeps will already be familiar with them since they’ve done a lot of chapters which you can read with early access!

The plan is to have this new translator help share the load, hopefully speeding up releases or at least getting them more consistently since all the pressure isn’t on one person.
Unlike some translation sites we recognise that translators are not machines.
Shots fired.

Also the author realised their counting mistake here so I went back and fixed the previous ones.

So let’s talk about trailers today.
No particular reason, I just watched quite a few trailers today!

For starters lets discuss the Laika anime, soviet space vampire! Honestly the trailer seemed pretty cute, I’m excited to see how it goes.
I do have to wonder about the logistics of a vampire in space though. Like does sunlight still burn them? Is there a concentration needed?
Gotta wonder, after all there’s no shelter on the moon.

Then let’s discuss…. Frostpunk 2?
I never actually played the first Frostpunk but I think it has a really neat concept, and the premise of the second one seems interesting too.
Highlighting the technological progress from the steam age to the modern age. Oil and electricity!

And lastly. Spiderman.
Well boy that was a trailer! Finally!
Like seriously, didn’t expect that twist though. And the crossover premise is hype.

I opened a video which was going to explain why Sloop ships are superior to Brigs.
I was expecting to use this information to add another layer of realism to the naval aspects of my novel.

Anyway turned out it was discussing balance designs in some video game…
Not useful at all.
I watched it all anyway because it was mildly interesting seeing why there was a balance issue but……..

Well I’ll just forget in a few minutes anyway.
