I spent most of today feeling like I was forgetting something.
It’s gone now, whatever I was feeling, no idea if I was forgetting something or not though…
Can’t have been important.

Spent most of today watching anime.
I was really far behind, I am still behind.
But the main shows I am up to date on now.
The ongoing disaster that is Fire Hunter’s adaptation, the ongoing resounding mid adaptation of Solo Levelling, and then of course the work of art that is Apothecary Diaries.

The important ones, I know.

My friend has been redesigning my original character for blue archive for fun.
She has decided to take inspiration from the Broadsider in fallout as her gun…
Yes…
The handheld naval cannon.
That thing.

So the “What If” alternate timeline version of my favourite novel series (the Marie Route of Otome Mob) is getting closer to release now…
but I remember reading the original web novel translationg and it looks like it just wants to inflict pure suffering on my favourite character, which makes me hesitate to read it officially…
I am conflicted.
I want to support my favourite light novel series but also don’t want to read the suffering.

So OffKai dropped Nijisanji.
Laughing so hard at the replies to the tweet, Nijisanji is famous for taking eons to respond to things, and the fans are angry that the convention took a while to respond to things.

Yeah the decision was made two weeks ago and only announced today. But you know what.
The decision to do something and getting all the paperwork done are totally different, they would have had contracts and things in place with Niji that would need to be closed, and any compensation or other details would have needed confirming.
Just because I decided to buy insurance today doesn’t mean it would be done tomorrow!

Anyway, Nijisanji reputation is truly down the drain now, it’s effecting their talents ability to operate.

I can’t believe that a couple of people in a discord server try to lecture me on running Dungeons and Dragons because I said that you couldn’t have a Warforged in the context of Faerun. Which is Forgotten Realms. The one Baldurs Gate is set in.

That’s… an experience.
Also one of them had the weirdest take on it all.

Who needs class identity apparently? A cleric doesn’t need a god, warlocks don’t need patrons, sorcerers can get powers from whatever they want!
Are you even playing those classes if you strip the class identity? What benefit do you get stripping a class down to its numerical functions?

Some of the stuff they brought up was fine, like firearms fitting into the setting. Yeah that’s not strictly by the book but it makes sense in the setting.
But I just cannot understand their logic with the rest, it’s like they have a total disconnect between the function of the mechanical rules and the flavour of lore. Instead of seeing how they’re meant to feed into each other.

I’m all for customising your setting, but it seems weird to take something so integral to the history of the Realms and chop it out, when it would be easier to adapt one of the many other settings, or just homebrew their own.

While editing this chapter I realised that the past month or so I have been completely neglecting to add most of my random commentary.
This saddens me, because it feels like that random commenter from a while ago is achieving victory.
The one that complained about my personal footnotes.
Also that other guy who treated my random jokes as if they were serious comments about the novel.

Speaking of comments. My most upvoted and most downvoted comments on this site are on the same chapter.
The chapter where the term “illegal oneesan” was coined for Not Sure, Another World.
I made a joke about finding the protagonist revolting, which got mass downvoted, and then when I explained to someone who maliciously slandered me that it was because I am a lolicon I got mass upvoted.

I had a strange moment today where I felt like the current season of anime was coming to an end, and how I would need to start preparing to finish my watchlist for the next season.
But then I checked, and everything still has at least three episodes left.
That was a weird moment for me.

I wonder why I felt like the season was ending soon?
I guess my sense of time is slipping.
I’m getting old!
