I am going to try and use this migraine to sleep early.
Hopefully wake up early too.
Then I’m going to try and finish what I started today.

I phrased that ambiguously to sound cool, they’re just household chores.

I currently have a migraine as I schedule this.
Forgive me for do the minimum in editing, I just want to turn off all screens for a while.

I saw a comment on a mod page today talking about how the modder wanted to rewrite the mod instead of keep adding patches to keep up with the game updates.
And someone in the comments underneath went “I took a look at the code and anyone can see why you’d choose to do that”.
And it sort of made me laugh.
I get that it was meant to reaffirm the decision and support it even if it meant a delay.

But it also reads like an insult of “your code is awful.”

I wanted to do this in 4chan green text style mock post of like “be me” but it didn’t sound right.
I was going to complain about how I started editing early to go to sleep early.
But then because I started early I figured I had extra time and took more breaks than normal.
So now I’m even later than usual despite starting early!

I also lost my draft edit for this because of wordpress! So don’t expect comments on it because I was too tired.

I forgot I have been roped into running Dungeons and Dragons this Wednesday.
I have two days to prep…

Yeah I can do that…
Probably.
As long as I can find my notes from last session!

A large chunk of money vanished from my bank account tonight with no record of a transaction.
After some analysis I have calculated the missing money to perfectly align with the cost of the Index omnibus.
This leads me to believe that they have taken the money for the book, but it will not show in my transaction history until it is shipped and confirmed.

Which is a strange series of events, but I don’t know why I would expect any different from a situation like this.
Especially in todays society.

Do you ever get a distinct craving?
The bakery where I live used to make these mint coated brownies.
They were amazing.

I currently really want one.
The astute of you would have noticed that I used “was” in that prior statement.
Yes, they discontinued them.

I am forced to suffer.

The mysterious helicopter that I’ve seen like thrice now landed on the field again near my house.
I’m starting to wonder what it is that requires a helicopter to visit like one every other month for an hour or more now.

Is there someone just super prone to accidents living there?
Or what exactly?
Is it like some secret cabal that sometimes screw up and they call an ambulance?

I WANT TO KNOW THE DETAILS!
Why are these things never in the news?!

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.
