I applied to a job the other night and haven’t received an immediate rejection.
This is the second time I haven’t been immediately rejected by a company with a “we will let you know immediately if you fail” policy.
This means that I might get an interview.
I finished the Crimson Fleet questline in Starfield today.
I was pleasantly surprised by it, I did kind of rush through it though because I was only doing it for the ending where you defeat the pirates instead of join them.
That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that there were unique ship parts connected to the questline.
I shouldn’t have been too surprised.
The UC Vanguard questline also had unique Vanguard ship weapons and shield tech, but they were just variants of existing weapons.
No the Crimson Fleet quests actually had some stat buffing ship equipment you unlock through it!
Which kind of sucks because I destroyed all the pirates in the finale so now I only have one ship that will ever have those unique parts…
(They’re really good parts.)
I also like the lore behind them.
I’ve reached a point in my Starfield playthrough where I am now doing quests purely because I want to do the questlines rather than them making sense for my character.
Like I joined a gang for one mission then I starter another and now I am making questionable chemical substances.
None of these make sense for my character but dammit I want to experience the different stories and get that exp!
Also I laughed quite a bit when I did one of the missions and had to apply for a grunt job but my character backstory and skills were all geared to like high end academics, so they said I was grossly overqualified.
I have just over 60 hours in Starfield now.
If I keep this up for 10 times longer then it will dethrone Stellaris as my most played game!
Which is probably not going to happen, I go through very very intense bouts of playing Stellaris nonstop when the moods hit.
I haven’t done it for a few months strangely, but I will return eventually, you can be sure of it.
Actually it was the combat rebalance killing all my mods that sent me away I think.
I just realised that the author listed these two part chapters as Chapter 39 even though they’re 38.
Sigh…
Anyway the next chapter is the real 39, ignore what the author says hahaha.
I’d go back and change it but making sure the links match up is always a pain, sorry.
It’s not too bad if they’re recently uploaded because it makes them easy to find but there’s so many chapters posted on this site every day it gets a little crazy trying to filter what links are used where.
It seems the latest political war in the UK is over a dog breed!
Honestly nonsensical but… it is what it is.
I see both sides, but there’s no easy fix to this.
On one hand if a dog breed is a common problem then banning it makes sense.
On the other hand the reason the breed is a common problem is because of the socioeconomic background of those that prefer the breed.
So it’s not actually a problem with the dogs… but the easiest solution is to ban them…
It leads to a weird circle.
I think just for simplicity I support banning the breed, but lets be honest the problem will persist because that demographic will just switch breed and they will be the next problem.
I’m still trying to recover after finishing Blue Archive.
That feels, the hype…
Ah it’s amazing.
The way it all pulled together, the story notes it connected, the way it developed the characters and world…
All of it was just handled so perfectly. It’s amazing, I love it.
I can’t wait to see how they manage to top this in a couple of years.
Updated this ramble:
Overwatch recently gave official ages for their characters!
And they’re so arbitrarily picked that it’s proving the point that age is totally nonsense for fictional characters!
People have calculated that one of the girls mother must have been around 13 when they gave birth to her!
Which is nuts.
But now nobody is allowed to complain about anime, that’s how it works. I make the rules and I say so.
Starfield releases today (for you guys) officially after its early access week comes to an end.
This means I will be able to play! (For my banks health I didn’t buy the early access version, as tempting as it was.)
When I do start playing be prepared for Starfield related anecdotes to show up in my rambles a lot more often than before.
Like, I will try to keep it controlled to a degree, but it’s possible there will be one a day at least.
Have fun with those.
Assuming my PC can even run it, of course.
My computer is a decent PC from the last gen… and Starfield is giving even state of the art NASA supercomputers a hard time.
So my latest art commission is in the final stages so now I am thinking of getting another.
Currently I am leaning towards a sort of scifi theme.
I’m not sure if I want to go full scifi like the ideas I’ve had for a while…
Or maybe something more Starfield inspired?
Hmmmm Star Trek or Starfield…
Both seem like good ideas.
Difficult decision.
I have a confession to make, after reading this chapter I ended up skimming ahead because the cliffhangers were killing me.
Like seriously!
Anyway I didn’t read in full detail because I still wanted to give my live reactions while editing but damn… seriously…
Anyway, just know that you’re all going to suffer immensely over the next few weeks with these constant cliffhangers coming up.
I have no regrets!
You should join the patreon to resolve that if you dare.
Ahahahahahahahaha.
Sometimes my phone pushes random news articles to me that make me very confused.
Most of the time they’re ones that are like:
“What to do with this very niche specific collectible in this game you have never heard of!”
Why does it feel I need to know this?
Well, I just ignore them, but I felt like rambling about it.
