I keep delaying it but I need to organise my shelf really soon.
My Trapped in a Dating Sim novels are just floating around currently.
My Invaders kickstarter loot is still in its boxes.
My anime figure shelf is full.

I need to find a way to fit everything in!
Eh I’ll do it tomorrow, probably. If my internet is still acting up.

I had an internet outage today, well it might continue into tomorrow.
I’m using my phone once again to post this.

I tried to do some stuff in Final Fantasy but it disconnected and crashed too often.
But it was a good enough attempt.
I got to do my beast tribes in my first attempt, do some airship stuff in my second and do some gathering in my third.
Then I went to play Stellaris instead.
Stellaris was pretty eh, think I wasn’t in the right mindset. That or the latest dlc has left me underwhelmed.

I started trying out healer properly in Final Fantasy.
I went with Scholar for a couple of reasons, I think I mentioned it before.
I’ve done enough with the class now to get a feel for it, obviously a few days is far from enough to be good though.
That said, I’ve been enjoying do the raid content with it. Mostly because I can pawn off my slack onto the second healer to cover me.

Plus as a Scholar I can focus mostly on shields rather than actual HP value. Which means that I can excuse my dumb mistakes as optimising shield usage, or focusing on a little extra shield over optimising healing.
It’s very useful.

Also shields are bit OP honestly. Critical shield plus damage reduction = instant tank mode. Also means immediate death if it happens twice in row though.

400 Chapters!
True to form I forgot the bonus I was planning for this milestone.

Literally forgot the entire concept.
I knew I was gonna do something….
Maybe a giveaway? But if so what was it I wanted to give away?
Was I gonna write a bonus chapter? But I didn’t leave any concept notes in my folder.
Was I gonna do a message thing? Well I didn’t have a strong impression of what I was gonna say because I forgot this was the 400th chapter until I opened the folder.

Woops. This has become a bit of a failure.

WordPress is apparently getting some update or something and it keeps giving me an info popup for it, but the popup is highlighted orange so every time I see it I have a small panic that I screwed something up until I read the text.

The new patch for Final Fantasy XIV is live now.
Well live for you guys, I’m still in the middle of downtime as I schedule this.

When you are reading this I’ll either be eating dinner, doing dwarf quests or indulging in my lust for juicy plot.
Seriously I love me some hardcore story.

Caught up on Magical Index Genesis last night.
The latest volume had some strong moments, and I especially loved how it developed the Sisters, but overall I found it one of the weaker volumes.
Obviously that doesn’t say much when you’re comparing 50+ volumes and you can’t always expect the same hype as the finales.

However I do think that this volume was about as weak as the early volumes of the previous two testaments, as well as the Rejecter arc.
Good moments, but flimsy over all.

We’ve arrived at Volume 4!

I believe we started Volume 3 sometime before Christmas last year, that means it’s been well over six months of consistent publications and the christmas spam to get us this far!
As we enter the next phase of Lily’s adventure I’d like to thank all of you for reading with us!
And a hello to any binge readers who just caught up (or are half way through depending on when you reach here) with a strong thanks for coming this far too!

Welp, sappy generic stuff aside.
I look forward to sharing more rambles with you in the future!
And I even got a new project on this site to publish for.

The music I use as background noise while editing has been copyright claimed and removed.
It has made me really sad.

I will have to go find something else that has the right level of pace and tension without interfering with my focus.
Although to be honest almost anything would work once I got used to it.
I have changed song several times already as I got bored of them after all.

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

That’s it.
That’s the ramble.

My PC has now been upgraded!
It was costly. And then windows decided to throw a fit.
I know I replaced basically every internal component but you have online activation exactly for this scenario but even that died!
Seriously it was a nightmare.

Anyway it’s pretty much done now, I just need to adjust a fan slightly because it got knocked in assembly and is rubbing the case slightly. Nothing damaging it just makes a louder noise than normal and it’s irritating.

I forgot to mention it last chapter ramble but it’s my birthday soon.
Like really soon.
Like I didn’t even realise it was my birthday soon and then it snuck up on me again when I forgot it was my birthday soon until I saw the date.

Like “Oh darn my birthday is this month.”
Then…
“Blimey it’s my birthday in two days!”

Obviously not in that really awful and stereotyped delivery though.

It’s 5am and I should really be getting in bed because I have to wake up in four hours in order to take my PC down the shop.
Yes, it is finally time to get my complete overhaul upgrade!

I would do it myself but I’m sort of paranoid after that time I fried my hard drives replacing my PSU.
Hopefully very soon I’ll be sporting a Ryzen 5 5600X and 32GB of ram.
Hopefully very very soon.

For the first time ever I have actually failed to think of something to type for this prechapter ramble.
Even now looking around my room for some inspiration I fail to find some.
Not really sure what to do about it.

Well I guess even I had to get writers block eventually.
Even if it is kinda inconsequential.

I didn’t realise until today but the latest Magical Index volume has been released and has started to be translated.
I peaked at some of the art and it looks exciting and heartwarming.
It seems the great author.exe has taken pity on us after two volumes of gutwrenching despair.

I mean seriously that previous volume was DARK.
Also it seems everyones favourite American president is back.
Looking forward to what it actually contains. Fanboy mode, activate.

By the end of this week I should have finished upgrading my computer.
Hopefully this solves my screentearing problem.
Though honestly it’s unlikely.

For whatever reason I get a lot of screentearing.
My graphics card is good yes, but my monitors are good too and I have the same settings and I even turn on vsync when I can.
Hmmmmmm.
Let’s just hope upgrading my motherboard, ram and cpu cause everything to fall in line magically and resolve it somehow.
Yup.
