Something weird happened while I was editing this today.
My computer monitors turned off, and my headphones made the noise for when something disconnects and reconnects.
Then they turned back on.

It was like it was a driver update but I didn’t get any alerts or anything for it… It just, happened.
Everything seems to be working fine, the monitors just reset randomly.

This chapter is called Lycoris Radiata, which is amusing.
For those that don’t know it’s the read flower that shows up in anime all the time.
But the reason this amuses is because my mum recently bought some bulbs of these to plant in the garden.

I think they arrive some time this month too?
Anyway, took me by surprise when she did. I can’t even remember how they came up in conversation now.
Anyway, here’s your chapter as we continue our daily releases!

Twitter is in a state of nuclear meltdown.
The prevailing theory seems to be that twitter didn’t pay for some of their server services and thus tried to restrict traffic.
By accident as a result they created a loop of twitter pinging its servers for data that then gets a restricted response, which causes twitter to ping itself again for data.
It does this so much that the servers are starting to scream.

Poor architecture.
Sucks to be him right now though doesn’t it.

One of my players for my Star Trek campaign has dropped out of tabletop roleplaying altogether.
Of course, that includes my Star Trek campaign…
This is a major problem.

I started with five players and now I have two, there’s just no way I can sustain the game at this point.
I might have to make a call for aid. It’s a problem and a half.

I am sure that many of you have forgotten by now but, the time as come.

A couple of months ago I expressed that due to the fantastic work of our translators here we had built up an impressive quantity of Patreon exclusive chapters!
In fact if you were to subscribe to the Patreon right now you could read up to the impressive… Chapter 914!
But that’s not the point.

As foretold, we decided to reward our loyal views with an equally impressive one chapter a day for an entire month!
That fated month was to be July, and do you know what month it is now? July!
So starting today you will have a single Maiden to read every day!
Hope you’re ready for a binge.

I reached 60 in Star Rail the other day, can’t remember if I mentioned it in any of my rambles.
Today I finished getting my third character to Level 80.
Tomorrow I will start on getting my fourth to 80, after which my core team will be done and I can focus on their cones.

Anyway, here’s your chapter!

I still haven’t heard back from one of the jobs I applied for.
Which is uh, awkward, but I mean I’ll give them a week from the jobs closing date I think that’s reasonable, it’s only been a few days and one of those wasn’t a working day so it’s not significant. Probably.

I’ll give them two more days I think.
Assuming I didn’t like, screw something up.
I think.
Eugh.

I am doing the editing for these chapters with an orchestral remix of the Blue Archive soundtrack.
I forgot just how epic these remixes can sound when you have so many instruments in tandem.
I can see why Genshin likes making concerts out of them.

I used to listen to these types of things a lot when writing, especially theme songs and such to get the mindset of the setting.

I think there was someone reading this chapter as I did some edits to it.
Hello reader if that was you!

I forgot to note the name, I just saw the icon at the top of the document as I was going and kept going.
It might have been one of the other staff though.
Anyway, that is the first time I’ve ever had that happen, so it stood out to me.

You know recently I have been thinking about how I haven’t had anything to read recently and then I looked up and remembered…
I still have THREE volumes of Invaders I haven’t read.
I totally forgot about those.
I bought the collectors bundle and forgot I put off reading the digital ones because I had the physical books coming, and then just forgot to read them when they finally arrived.
Crazy!
Guess I know what I will be doing.

I have been informed the following is not an appropriate thing to put on your job application.

How would you handle greeting a customer (in 250 words or less):
“I would tell my coworker that a customer needs greeting.”

Which is a mighty shame because I thought honesty was the best policy.

Recently I’ve been becoming distant with someone I considered a close friend.
I think it’s because I’ve been noticing a lot more recently they have a lot of uh… bad takes… on some topics.
In general they’re kind of starting to grate on me too.

I don’t think I will cut them off entirely, but they’ve already noticed I’ve been colder with them lately.
Oh well, I’m sure I will solve this with the power of social skills… oh wait I don’t have those!

Somehow the only anime I kept up to date on and finished so far this season was that Aristocrat isekai one.
And it was like my least favourite of what I was watching this season.
Goes to show that humans really like their junkfood.

Or well, being able to turn their brain off when they want to unwind instead of focusing on a show that’s actually good.
But enough about that, here’s your chapter.

By the way have you seen the new banner for the site? It’s me! Fantasy me!

I forgot to go up the shop today and it’s been hell.
Anyway it’s super hot in the UK lately, and my supply of drinks has been exhausted.

Also I can what is either thunder or a plane outside right now.
I think it’s a plane because of how long it’s been making a sound but it’s rare to get loud planes around here because we’re not near any airports or major flight paths.

Anyway, here’s your chapter.

I spent most of the day helping someone get to know how to use ChatGPT for some writing work they were doing.
No I’m not talking about having it do the writing for you, that’s absurd, although it can produce some amazing purple prose if you ask it right.
What I mean is helping my friend soundboard ideas and find gaps in their logic and lore.

Especially given the implications of certain aspects of the setting.
It’s a great little tool for that, for real.
