One thing that stood out to me editing this chapter is that it felt longer than the previous chapter.
But actually in word count this is the shorter one.

It’s strange how perception can be bent like that, I wonder what it is about this chapter that made it feel longer?
The content? Number of edits? My tiredness?

I applied to some totally wild jobs today…
I don’t plan to get either of them, but they amused me.
One I actually applied to for the memes, I mean I absolutely won’t get that job, but it was funny to try.

It was for the online gambling commission, and I found the idea of being in the organisation that’s meant to be fighting lootboxes funny.

Recently my youtube shorts section has been flooded with Rin Penrose content.
Which is great, I won’t complain.
I don’t think even I could be that unapologetically British without trying.

Although maybe I do come across that way to the people I play games with?
I will never know, nor will I ever ask.
Anyway moving on from that.

Chapter time!

As I opened this chapter to edit I was like “Oh god yes we were in the middle of this weren’t we!”
Which just goes to show how quickly you lose track of what you’re working on when you have multiple editing projects + personal reading.

Absolutely insane that authors can keep track of most things honestly.
Like I forget what I’ve edited but they have to remember everything they wrote going all the way back.

Well, there’s a reason novels need so many editing passes.

Chapter 900!
That’s insane!
Assuming we do a Christmas release batch we’ll reach 1000 before the end of the year!

If not then it’ll be at the start of next year.
Which is equally as crazy to think about when you consider it’s literally getting on for the final quarter now.

I forgot that I have a video meeting tomorrow.
Oh boy, that’s gonna be fun.

I’m not looking forward to that one at all.
Well, at least I will get it over with, I need to remember when it is though.
And remember what service the video meeting was on… why are there so many softwares for that now?

I was originally going to talk about how the Neural Cloud stuff is a really interesting case study in gacha game management.
Anyway, it’s just the first time I’ve seen a schedule like they’re using.

Not only are they blitzing through the original servers content, but they’re also releasing things in a different order.
We’ve had events feature characters not released yet.
We’ve had characters released before their events.
We’ve had one character release an entire six months early.

Like, they’re on a race to get through the backlog of content at an unhealthy speed.
