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.

One of the biggest concerns I have for posting the next 29 chapters is just how many rambles I can come up with.
I’m sort of cheating the system right now by rambling about my concerns but shhh don’t question that.
I know a couple of them can be about Christmas related topics but I really don’t want to cheap out on them.

These rambles are kind of my brand identity in a way, I need to keep them consistent even now.

Hmmm, I’ll have to brainstorm some things quickly.
At least I know what to do for the next one.

Hello everyone!
If you’re a reader of Tiara or Maid you probably know what’s happening now.
It’s Christmas mass release time!
Partay!

Now then, the burning question on your mind must be how many Christmas chapters is Maiden getting?
What’s your guess?
5 like Tiara? 6 like Maid? 10 maybe? 15 perhaps?
Well the answer is all of you are wrong.

Hold on to your butts readers because we have 30 chapters coming your way today!

Once this chapter goes live I will be in full time Christmas Chapter editor mode.
Literally so many chapters to edit for Christmas releases.
You won’t believe me, but there’s literally a months worth of chapters to do for Christmas, for this novel alone!
And I have to do that for three novels!

Well, Dex has it worse than me I think. They have slightly more chapters to do, but also more novels, not sure if that’s better or worse honestly.
Anyway, enjoy this eventful chapter.

When we start, we won’t stop,
’cause we’re cyber punk rock,
Cruising random access memory lane.

Sorry, I’ve have Up To The Cloud on loop while doing the editing today, it was just the first song on my feed for music when I opened up youtube and decided to just roll with it.
Normally I put something without lyrics on so I can focus on the words of the chapter but eeeehhhh. It’ll work out.

Originally I was going to use this pre-chapter ramble to complain about twitter.
But honestly, I think we’re all tired of that topic.
Especially after he tried to ban linking to other social medias today.

So let’s talk about something else!
Like the fact Starfield releases next year!
Yeah that’s a good topic.

I hold a great deal of respect for improv actors honestly.
It’s amazing how they can craft a semi-coherent narrative purely by making up everything as they go along.
Playing off what was said and adding their personality.

Of course, I play tabletop roleplaying games so this isn’t entirely new to me.
But the level of speed, freedom and craftsmanship in true improv is insane.

I somehow got distracted watching youtube and didn’t realise I never hit the schedule button for this post so it sat here for two whole hours pending.
Yup.

Well I also read a couple of manga chapters and the news article on Armored Core so I suppose it wasn’t just youtube.
Oh and a brief gander at the wiki for a game I’m playing just to see if there was anything interesting I had missed, as well as plan a few things.
Seriously I have so many tabs open for unique drops I need to track for when I unlock the zones to farm them.
Madness.

Wow I had a nostalgia trip today when CaptainSparklez uploaded a Minecraft music video again.
Came out of nowhere for me.
And it’s a continuation to that music series that we all know for Fallen Kingdom.

Literally, so out of the blue.
I wasn’t expecting it at all, but yeah that happened.
And this is my info for you, go watch it for the nostalgia.

It started to snow in the UK today, it’s amazing how much our climate changes from one state of weather to the next.

And in other news the first NASA Artemis mission finally succeeded. Hopefully this will properly lead to the follow ups.
I would like to see mankind go back to the moon in my lifetime, and a semi-permanent base would be a joy to see also.

I’m sure there was other stuff in the news too but I don’t care about that.
Science!
It’s not about why, it’s about why not! Although that contradicts with the quote about being too caught up in if they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
