Hello everyone, I am sorry this is several days late.
Sadly, out of nowhere at about 6am Sunday morning I ended up extremely sick, and only today have been able to manage enough coherence and energy to sit down at my computer and do work.
Well, I guess this is partially what I get for only doing things a few days in advance instead of a week in advance, but considering this was the first time I really had this problem it goes to show how sick I was.

I hope you can forgive me for the delay.

Somehow, don’t ask me how, I have managed to reach the final boss battle of the latest Star Rail update…
The problem is that I cannot progress any further because the crutch of my team is unusable for the final battle…

The boss not only requires that I don’t use my strongest character, but also has a gimmick that runs completely counter to every character I have built so far…
Actually I have noticed recently the element system of Star Rail is extremely unfriendly to new players…
At some point you are going to need a DPS character of AOE or Single Target of at least half the elements in the game.

In my case I don’t have any real fire or lightning damage dealers, and that’s become my roadblock…

I spent another 10 hours playing Star Rail today…
I managed to unlock Harmony Trailblazer! That’s like the big event of this story update isn’t it I think?
Well the problem is the boss fight that follows… it has a fire and lightning weakness so it’s great for people that have the last few released characters…

The problem is I don’t… the only real damage dealers I have in those fields are Serval and Hook…
Hm… I don’t think they will quite cut it honestly? I could throw myself at it and see what happens I suppose. Has worked for me so far at least…

Well, no other way but to try!
I also spent several hours today doing the merchant sidequest event because my friend said the shop you unlock at the end has good consumables.
Honestly I always forget consumables exist in this game…
Can you believe I’ve made it this far in the story doing a no-healer and no-consumable run? Anyone would think I’m doing some kind of self-inflicted torture challenge!!!

It’s Chapter 1080!
That means that if we compressed each chapter to the size of one pixel we’d have enough for one row of a monitor!
Everyone you may now applaud.
This is a significant milestone!

Seems like the Steam sale will be in June too…
Hmmm…
My birthday is a month before it starts…
What to do about finding a new game…

I just had to spend three hours listening to a friend drone on about tokusatsu.
They really want to make me watch some stuff.
Mainly kamen rider.

Well, I sort of get it?
It’s a big deal, I know of it even though I’ve never watched tokusatsu stuff.
I’ve watched a lot of parodies of it though, amusingly.

On one hand I am glad that Sony walked back their decision to mandate PSN accounts for playing the PC version of Helldivers.
On the other hand I am sad that the odds of my refund request being accepted is now basically zero, I was hoping to use that money get a game I will actually play regularly instead.

In unrelated news:
Did you ever see Luck & Logic as an actual card game just over five years ago?
I got reminded of it today and remembered doing a trial game way back in the day at a convention and being excited to see it after the anime, but never investing because I had nobody to play with. I think I looped round that booth multiple times over the weekend to play it over… I think I did four trial sessions? Woops.
I remember it ending distribution really quickly too, like barely a year or so in… well the game was insanely rule heavy.

One thing I hate is when I wear my headset too long and it starts to get hot.
But then I take them off and I become hyper conscious of the noise of me typing fast…

It’s like I can’t win.
Oh autism, what an experience you are.

Wow, it’s actually May.
We have reached my birth month…
Honestly it’s kind of surreal that I am getting older again…
I might have a midlife crisis in a few years.

That thought alone might trigger a midlife crisis honestly…

While editing this I browsed the steam discussion forums, I tend do this now for some reason.
Probably because I miss the era of being able to read opinions that weren’t discord conversations?
It’s why I sometimes drift to reddit I suppose…

Anyway, someone was really confused in understand how the original story of a game worked compared to its remake.
Because the remake had a massive narrative mechanic change, and they just can’t comprehend the story without it.
Well, suddenly adding time loops is a big change…

This is the last week of four chapters…
It’s a real shame to see this era come to an end.

My poor ad revenue… I could almost cry.
You people better start reading God’s Gofer that I start publishing next week!
I still haven’t read anything about it…
I should go read the first dozen chapters that are already up.

I accidentally introduced my friend to Dolphin Wave and Kandagawa Jet Girls…
They… seem to be really into them?
I think this is the first time I have ever seen anyone into them…

I am… very confused honestly.
I think actually they might just like jet skis and aqua sports and don’t realise it…

Another, shorter, reminder that as of next month the number of chapters for this novel will be halving to two a week instead of four.
But, in case you need your regular fix of Robinxen Rambles, trademark, there’s going to be a new place to find me!

I will be serving as the publisher for God’s Gofer next!
I have no idea what it is about yet, I plan to read it tonight…
So, I can’t give you a review, but we can experience it together!

Alright I stayed up way too late multitasking.
I am going to finish up and clonk out.

So if you’ve read the updates you should know what I am about to say already, if not this is important.
In the immediate future the amount of releases for this novel will be halved, from the current four per week to two per week.
This decision came after a long time of deliberation.

The current four chapter per week cycle is held up by having multiple translators work on the novel, and was adopted because this novel used to be the sites chart topper.
In terms of readers it was the highest by a large margin, however that is no longer the case, there just simply isn’t enough readers anymore to support paying multiple translators.
Instead those funds and translators will be shuffled around to other projects that readers seem to be enjoying more, or have potential.

I hope you can all understand the person most sad about this is me, since I get a cut of the ad revenue. Sniffle. Half my income, gone…
And I am only half joking about that.

Anyway, it’s not like this novel is being dropped, you probably wouldn’t even notice if I didn’t say, haha.
