My PC parts for my upgrades are all here now.
A brand new expensive Ryzen CPU, 32GB of ram and a new motherboard to fit them both in.
Combined with my RTX graphics card I will finally have a PC that can almost be called top of the line for current generation PCs. Almost.

Some of these chapters are starting to feel really long.
I should check the earlier chapters and see if they’ve actually got longer or shorter over time.

It’s weird how things change when looking at them over different periods of time.

Like it looks like something has got longer compared to ten chapters ago but is actually shorter compared to 100 or something.
I wonder why.

The sun has started to rise so I’m going to cut this pre-chapter ramble short and get into bed.
Enjoy the chapter.

I tried playing Final Fantasy XIV with some fancy shaders and I could start to here my gpu whine.
I think this is a sign to stop using heavily outdated hardware that can’t keep up with my gpu.

Even though my gpu is basically current generation, my CPU and RAM are essentially a decade obsolete and can’t keep pace.
The bottleneck has got really bad lately because I bought a HD monitor, and it’s struggling to refresh fast enough haha.

I get screen tearing whenever my CPU has to do any work. To think I’d get screen tearing from my CPU of all things. That’s supposed to be the one non-factor.
Well…it’s not technically my CPU, but rather the motherboard and RAM that are outdated along with my CPU. Basically nothing else can keep up with my GPU.

I ate an entire pack of biscuits and drank a can of diet coke an a can of pepsi max before getting ready for bed.
Surprising absolutely nobody, my stomach now hates me.

I do some dumb things once in a while oftenly every few days on a regular basis.

Still not sure why I had one of each type instead of two cans on the same.
But oh well.
Life is life.

The biscuits were nice though, turned out we had some chocolate hobnobs muhahahaha. My favourite. I ate them all of course.

It’s 6am and I’m watching a one hour video of someone taking apart some feminist critique of ReZero.
I don’t know why I do this sometimes.
Why do I just not do this when it’s not time for me to sleep?
I do not know.

Anyway, you should all watch this too I guess.
Maybe.
I won’t bother to link it.

Once again my preordered copy of Arpeggio of Bluesteel is horrifically overdue.
I preordered my copy last year so there would be no issues, yet Amazon have not even dispatched a copy yet due to supply issues while third parties are listing copies on their site.
Is it just completely failing to enter the country?

Sigh.
I hope this is just a covid thing rather than amazon’s total incompetence.

I’m really glad that J-Novel decided to have How Not To Summon A Demon Lord as their monthly freebie.
I was really tempted to buy the novels when the anime started to catch up with where I left the fan translation.

Today I reached that point.
I feel like the novels for Demon Lord are a little shorter than your average light novel since I read them way faster, but maybe they’re just more simple or I’m imagining things.
Either way now that I have caught up I look forward to seeing if there’s any unexpected developments.
I’m sure there will be a plot twist eventually. I’m waiting for the grand reveal of another isekaid person who’s an antagonist or something.
Or the whole “unreleased future game expansion calamity” event twist.

Something totally unrelated to FFXIV this time.
Are people enjoying this seasons anime?
Any sudden standouts?

I thought Demon Lord would make me laugh again but something about production this time has felt off.
Not sure what.
Also I found it really funny that there’s so many korean names in the credits for that one.
And that the OP is by the Initial D guy.

It’s 6am, I’m in a rush.
I forgot to do my beast tribes and other daily stuff on FFXIV until midnight and totally freaked out and rushed.
Then realised I hadn’t done my selfemployment reports.
Then I realised I hadn’t done these chapters

So here they are.
Rushed.
And I’m tired.

It’s the 100th chapter of Volume 3!
It’s been a long journey and it’s not even over yet!

I was actually glued to the screen while reading and editing the upcoming chapters so much!
Actually all the chapters that were posted this week and all the way up to next month were done in one entire sitting.
I was that engrossed that I just kept reading way into the night!

You know those days where you end up watching one strangely interesting video on youtube and then youtube picks up on it and suggests another related video, and then a disturbingly related video and then suddenly you find yourself going from videos about abstract art projects to people dying to horrific scientific experiments?
No?
Just me?

I hope not.

My Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere DVD arrived finally recently and I realised I don’t have a dvd player.
I had one in my PC but I unplugged it.
And I have a bluray player but no speakers to use with it so I can’t use that either…

This is a bit of a problem!
Am I really going to end up having to download it just to watch it right after buying it?

What a mysterious thing the world is.

My Free Company in Final Fantasy bought a small house today in Gridania.
I was under the impression we were waiting for a medium in Ishgard but it looks like they got impatient.
Well I hope to save up for my own house in Ishgard, not sure if I will go for medium or small. Will depend on my budget when that content launches.

They got the company workshop too but none of use have the crafting ability needed to make the airship sadly…
So I decided to take it upon myself to level up everything I’ll need to make it!
I shall be the Chief Engineer!

I will name my first airship….uh…. Edelweiss I guess!

Started playing Evil Genius today.

Got reminded of why I suck at base building games.
I’m really bad at planning layouts and I’m really bad at making things look visually appealing.

Even with the decorations and functional parts being easy to calculate with!
Well I did get an emergency generator room that looks like it makes sense though.

Also in other news I am overdue a DVD delivery…
