I had intended to buy a 2023 calendar this month but it completely slipped my mind.
Not really sure what I will do about it now, well I mean it’s not the end of the world if it’s a little late.

But I mean more about if I still want one ore not.
I actually have two from a long time back on my wall still. One is because I like the art of that page.
The other is still up because it was handmade by a friend of mine.

I set myself a schedule for getting these individual chapters done in crunch time but I am really struggling to stick with it.
Well part of the reason is because I am really running out of things to put in these rambles.
What idiot decided they all had to be unique?

Oh.. right… me.

Like right now I have a video about a cruise ship on.
I don’t even know why!
Why am I so easily distracted?!

It seems twitter has added tweet analytics in a more directly accessible and viewable place.
I’m not sure why.
I’m fairly certain this was already a feature all they did is move the button to an obvious place.

Maybe they want to create that social media addiction to spreading tweets in order to drive engagement up now the site is burning in a dumpster fire?
No matter the reason I couldn’t care less.

This chapter is scheduled to go up at midday on website time!
That means there’s been 12 hours of non-stop Christmas cheer so far!
How are you enjoying the mass release?
And I’m only half way done!

Well, slightly over half way, but it sounds better that way.

Oh right, I don’t think I ever said at any point.
But I think Silva uploaded the mascot characters for the site.
They should be around somewhere on the site.

Go and take a look.
Honestly the lore for my one was made up in a few minutes and I did zero editing passes so uh, it’s more like a notes version of the concept when I was brainstorming.
Probably quite cringe.

I assure you the OCs I put a lot of effort into are far more detailed and less cliche.
Also none of those are self inserts.

Alright so originally I was taking my time with the scheduling but it is now the final day I have available so speeeeed is of the essence.
So expect my rambles to become even more incoherent than they already were.
If that makes any sense to you.

Anyway basically I only have a few hours until I sleep and then a few more hours after I wake up until guests arrive.
Which means a tiny window for finishing this off.

As if having to post 30 chapters at once wasn’t pain enough we had a Volume transition in the middle of it!
Do you know how tedious the process is to add a new volume to the page and make sure links work?!
Luckily I caught this before I tried to schedule multiple chapters of this volume because that would require resetting all the work because the dropdown menu would be out of date and need to refresh for the seventh to show up.

Anyway rant of annoyance aside, hurray we have reached Volume 7! This volume is called uh…..
Mount Ooe.

Guess we like mountains now?

So this chapter is actually the final chapter of Volume 6 – Izumo.
Which means we will be starting a new volume.
I hadn’t actually planned ahead for this so now I have to do a scramble.

I’ll probably complain about it next chapter.
Anyway, for now, enjoy the final chapter of this volume!
But remember the Christmas releases continue!

For some reason while I was editing this a part of the Cross Ange soundtrack started playing.
I honestly have no idea why, or why I was able to recognise it.
I haven’t watched Cross Ange for years, and that anime was average.

I barely remember the plot of it except the whole magic discrimination aspect and interdimensional war thing.
And no, I’m not going to rewatch it.

I ended up getting money before Christmas so I used it to order myself that phone in advance.
I ended up going for the g32 instead of the Nothing.
Far more cost effective.

I wonder how it will look compared to my current phone, which is about five generations behind it, which in itself is five generations more advanced than my previous phone.
Huh it looks like I roughly get phones on the same time scale without even making an effort.

The shops have just closed and I regret missing my chance to get something.
I need my brain power in top condition to keep doing these chapters and now I have neither snacks not drinks to keep me fueled.

Oh what a foolish mistake I have made.
I need to think of something as an alternative I suppose.
Honestly I have forgotten which release number this chapter is or how many are left to do.

Alright I was following a schedule of how many chapters to schedule per day but I messed up and forgot about how this website is ahead of me.
I actually have one less day than I planned, which means I need to schedule a lot more today to make up for it.
Yeah that was my stupidity.

Anyway today I finished watching High Score Girl, now I just need to watch the OVA and Sequel.
I can see why my friends really liked this anime when it was airing, I should have made some time between isekais to watch it earlier.

I was tidying up my desk and I found some random notes like
“Build cost flip”
No idea what context that was in.

It probably meant I wanted to to flip the values of something in a game, likely my Stellaris mod?
Anyway this kind of random out of context short hand notes litter my journal and paper pile on my desk, sometimes they’re nostalgic to read.
Like setting concepts for rpgs I never got round to, or character ideas for short stories.

So after I finish posting this chapter I’m going to watch an episode of anime and take a break for a bit.
It’s a lot of work editing and scheduling these.
Especially the scheduling.

Input the chapter number, the title, make sure the translator is correct, add in the comments, set the release time, set the volume… bla bla bla…
It’s a lot of different little details and people complain when I get them wrong!
It’s draining doing that over 4 times alone, let alone making sure to do it for 40 Christmas releases!
Okay back to work.

By the time this goes live the Steam Christmas Sale should have started. So I’m gonna throw down some of my suggestions for you to pick up.

Planet Crafter – Will probably be on sale, not sure how much it will be, but it’s a good relaxing builder game. And it’s fun seeing your wasteland of a planet go from Mars to Earth as you progressively perfect the terraforming process. Great for people who want that base building experience with none of the pressure and some slight survival elements.

Haven – Honestly I don’t think I can summarise this one very well, so just go look it up and see if it’s for you. It usually drops a lot in price for sales, so I doubt this sale is any different.

Tears of Avia – An indie JRPG that is criminally underrated, I absolutely love this game, it’s an indie JRPG so obviously, don’t expect anything groundbreaking but I had a lot of fun. Some of the reviews are strangely critical, and one review is by a guy who somehow missed the entire mechanic of recruiting new members to your party. Absolute imbecile. The game is already like 10 bucks so the discount will make it super cheap, honestly just get it! And leave a good review! Say I sent you too, I speak to the dev on discord sometimes.
