Tsukimichi introduced the bi- ahem, the heroes… which was great, but the episode overall kind of sucked I think.
They spent a full episode going over the summoning of both the other heroes and assembling their parties so the pacing was a little slow.
Don’t get me wrong, I completely appreciate world building, but this felt like a lazy way to handle it. It’s clear that this was episode 2 instead of episode 1 because they wanted to lead with the protagonist as well.
The one thing they got right though was conveying the female heroes complete sense of entitlement to success, I hated her way of thinking in the novel. At least playboy hero was more a victim of circumstance.
The new oven I bought my parents for Christmas has been installed now.
We’re still getting used to some of the minor differences but otherwise it’s been really simple.
Well, ovens are ovens I suppose, and it’s not like we got an over the top smart one.
I do like the new one though.
And all the quirks we’re finding are more likely actually us having to unlearn the quirks of our super old oven.
I slept horribly last night.
I woke up and felt tired, so I set a slightly later alarm.
But then it went off and I still felt tired.
So I set a slightly later alarm again.
But then it went off and I still felt tired.
This repeated for about three hours of extra sleep…
It was not good.
After I finish this chapter I am just going to go to bed…
My bed is warm.
It benefits from both being a high bed and the fact I have thick covers.
I can bundle myself like an anime girl.
I feel like my fingers are about to freeze off, in my own room no less.
I guess this is what happens when your window gets stuck in Vent mode because the hinge is unaligned…
Such is my misfortune.
I even turned my radiator on the highest setting I have ever had it today!
Goes to show how cold it is this winter…
It’s actually below freezing right now.
You know how fictional nations sometimes have some of the best patriotic music?
Some franchises that immediately come to mind:
Final Fantasy
Ace Combat
Space Battleship Yamato
Arknights
…
You get the idea…
I suppose it’s because they’re new anthems they can make them more suited for modern audiences, as opposed to our historical hand-me-down ones that tend to be rather dull?
I can summarise today as “The Mysterious Case of the Sneezing Curse”.
Yes.
I have been sneezing like clockwork today.
It’s extremely strange.
I don’t think I have a cold, considering I just recovered from an illness over Christmas…
Maybe there’s some dust in my room because I haven’t opened my window this winter so far?
Seems most likely!
Me double checking all my clocks and alarms because I have to return to normal society after being freed from it by Christmas.
The worst part of the year is when it starts…
It’s all downhill from there but at least you can enjoy it burning around you.
The worst part is definitely the start.
I didn’t realise that The Daily Life of the Immortal King was in the middle of another season.
I need to make some time to catch up tomorrow.
I only noticed when I saw a youtube short thumbnail with it on while scrolling by, then belated registered what it was.
It’s harder to keep track of Chinese releases for things.
Kind of funny how I am more excited to see that then I am to see SoLevel.
Yes, that’s my new shorthand for it, I just decided.
Lots of New Year announcements being made.
New Nasuverse animation.
Irregular at Magic High got another animation announcement.
Looks like 2024 might be another heavy hitting year.
I spent most of today trying to catch up with Project Neural Cloud’s events that I wasn’t able to focus on while sick.
I don’t think I will be able to complete the entire reward track for the Christmas event because of this delay, which kind of sucks.
Luckily the character event for Undine was really easy to get the last few unclaimed rewards from.
Well, I have a week left.
I guess I can focus on the Blue Archive event I’ve been half doing now.
Pretty sure I just have the story left on that though.
This is the last of the sudden extra batch!
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year, I look forward to what disasters (natural or otherwise) will be thrown at humanity in 2024!
As for everyone already suffering through a disaster, don’t worry, I’m sure whatever comes next will make this trivial in hindsight.
Hahaha.
I was checking my wishlist and saw a game on there called City of Atlantis.
Apparently it’s been announced for almost two years now but no sign of a release date…
When I think about game development it scares me really.
Imagine having to pay for a team and their equipment for multiple years before even getting income!
No wonder indie devs ended up being eaten by the Epic Store for that extra cash.
