I looked to my right while editing this and noticed my poster calendar on my wall of Heavy Object.
I’ve had that poster on my wall for years because I really liked the final piece of art for December in it and never replaced it.
I can’t even remember what year I got it for now though haha.
I think I had it when I was at university in fact.
…
I did a quick google search and it’s the 2017.
It’s that old…
five years old.
Maybe I should think about getting a new calendar some day huh.
This chapter is called Arayama.
My brain is so Genshin trained that I read it as Aranara.
Speaking of Genshin, Nahida’s character demo released today.
It seems to be another addition to their Tragical Girl backstory for the poor archon.
They’re really driving that one home as a concept, way to make you care the character.
Well I planned to gacha for her anyway so this is just some extra drive.
With the reorganisation of my light novels and anime collection now officially complete…
I can say I need to re-reorganise them.
As I feared, there is no space for more light novels in their current configuration.
This is a marked improvement over the previous arrangement though, where I just had piles of light novels around my room which I had to move once in a while.
They are now all on shelves, which is great. But there’s no room for more of them…
So what I think I need to do is remove the anime figures from their current shelves and put them on one of my larger shelves.
Although this will reduce their displayability, it will let me use the display shelves for storing the light novels that need less thick shelves.
Genshin 3.2 is almost upon us!
Apparently the pre-install is 8GB or so, according to what was said on discord.
Wow.
Anyway, Happy Halloween everyone!
Some of you are probably like “it was halloween yesterday you fool!”
Which may be true, but for me it’s Halloween today!
Not that it matters much, the kids ate almost all the snacks today.
Hopefully there are still some to hand out tomorrow.
I would like to offer my opinion on the Bayonetta situation.
Hellena Taylor is scum.
To not only lie by omission, but also attempt to drag someone else through the mud for it…
The worst kind of scum.
Using a genuine issue in the industry to create clout for yourself?
Scum.
Terrible person.
So glad I’m not a fan of this “blockbuster” niche franchise.
I started trying to read an original English web novel yesterday and the writing was so painfully cringe it was horrendous.
Look I’m all for overpowered self insert fantasy fulfilment novels.
In fact they might even be my favourite type.
But there is something seriously wrong with your writing if the third chapter has a woman share a bed with the protagonist within an hour of them meeting, and then suddenly develop some weird dependency on the protagonist within a day of them meeting.
It’s just bad character writing.
Anyway, wouldn’t recommend it.
My copy of Magical Explorer just got dispatched! Hurray!
Luckily I didn’t need to do anything annoying like cancel and reorder or stuff like that, so that’s good.
Now I just need to patiently wait for uh… I think Otome Mob is next?
Arpeggio is in the distant future…
Recently I have been super struggling to find anything decent to read.
It’s like for some reason every web novel that I read has just started to evaporate…
I guess the translators are dropping them or the authors are…
Well the actual most likely reason is now that the world is returning to normal after all the lockdowns everyones too busy to write and translate full time.
It’s a shame though because I need stuff to reeeeead.
Which is annoying.
Or maybe I’ve just got pickier in my tastes?
Seeing Chapter 691 is a scary thing.
I mean it’s so close to 700!
SEVENHUNDRED!
Also today a friend sent me a screenshot of some vtuber who is completely owning the fact their vtuber model is just a fusion of their favourite waifus.
I’m all for it because they have really good taste. Cough Ereshkigal. Cough Asuka. Cough
Today is the revised release date for Magical Explorer (I think) which means hopefully it will be dispatched…
Of course this is all hopium on my part.
The release date information is all over the place online for the physical release so I have no idea what to think.
Oh well.
I will have to just hope!
Oh right, that reminds me I never heard back from Seven Seas about their out of date Amazon information either.
Today I was reminded of the fact I’ve been wanting to buy a new chair for my PC.
I totally forgot about it while I had spare money working for some reason, really weird.
Anyway I decided that I will start saving up for that since it will prevent me doing something stupid like playing a new gacha game or buying some artwork again.
I always save money better when I have something to aim towards, I’m really good at saving for a purpose.
Not good at saving for the sake of saving.
It’s currently 6am
I got way to caught up in the manga I was reading and totally forgot to check the time, so now I’m doing this before I sleep.
Looks like I have become nocturnal again.
Oops.
For the record the manga I’m reading is good though, I defend my right to stay up and read it!
I only have twenty more chapters till the end.
I’m sure the ending will be good… but I get the feeling this one was axed honestly.
I accidentally left his page open for two hours instead of hitting schedule.
So I decided to delete the original pre-chapter ramble to talk about how dangerous that was!
Man I could have closed the window or turned off my PC entirely and this chapter would never have got a post saying it was live.
The chapter itself would still be live!
But NovelUpdates would never know…
What a terrifying thought.
A friend of mine recently has got into this strange online magical girl novel.
They seem to be quite enjoying it given how often they inform me of the plot.
I was a bit upset that a couple of my favourite tropes were entirely absent though.
Which sort of magical girl franchise doesn’t have any time travel in it these days?
Terrible.
Or at least some world hopping!
I ended up accidentally doing a lot of work on my Stellaris mod today, even though there wasn’t much to do.
I ended up sucked into a rabbit hole of wiki pages and lore and videos, trying to get the flavour of a piece of tech down.
And then after that I decided to revisit my idea list and see if anything really stood out.
Well nothing small did, just some long term projects I might do.
At the very least I did get the ARGO System tech implemented, so now everyone can do the asteroid ring defence trick!
It was actually a fun one to concept, an alternative armour method, I had a few ideas on how to do it, such as having the game check if the system you were in had asteroids before applying the bonus, but in the end I decided to go simple and just have it give a flat bonus to armour and a partial bonus to armour regen.
