So while I was scheduling this chapter I got really confused by the contents wondering how we got here and what the hell was going on!
Apparently my brain had accidentally switched to Blue Sky mode and I was trying to link the events together even those this is Maiden…
I really don’t know what happened there but…

Man that was weird!
I seriously thought I was trying to connect the dots with Blue Sky!
No wonder I was confused!

Something else I finally did today was start watching Jobless Reincarnation.
I really loved that novel when I first read it, practically binged the entire thing on my first reading.
Then I read the redundancy epilogues and my opinion of the story was shattered by the sour aftertaste of all the questionable things the author included.
I really wish I could unread that!

But I thought I wouldn’t be able to enjoy reading or watching it knowing how it turns out but I guess I’ve got over that now and have been reminded how much I loved the main story.
Maybe I can dissociate the web novel version from the light novel, manga and anime versions in my head over time.

Finally caught up with Arpeggio of Blue Steel today.
Man the manga is going in weird directions.
I don’t dislike it but…it’s not what I was expecting at all. I think I slightly prefer the anime version over this one so far.

It’s suddenly become weirdly metaphysical and philosophical!
Like some girl from ancient greece or earlier has just rocked up and dropped the bombshell that super advanced nanotechnology was mistaken for magic in the past?
Also something about souls and psyches existing?
Man it’s weird.

I just want my battleship AI waifus to shoot lasers at each other.

I didn’t include it in the footnotes but there was an amusing translation error in this chapter where a measurement was translated as 7m instead of 70cm.
That measurement was for a hat.
Imagine wearing a 7m tall hat.

This chapter was actually not bad to read for some reason.
Not sure why.
Maybe the author is improving?

Todays chapters were amusing to schedule because it was DSM 49, DSM 50 and Blue Sky 51.
It was really weird to see them line up like that.

Anyway take from this what you will.
An omen.
Coincidence.
Something amusing.

Just felt like I should share it.

One of my favourite quotes is “playing god”.
It always makes me laugh.
I mean the gods didn’t do a good job of playing god either so let the new kids have a try alright?
What’s the worst they can do? End the world.
Odin literally create a bunch of girls for the sole purpose of collecting souls to make an army for the end of the world.

One of the worst things is when you suddenly find yourself with lots of spare time, right after you’ve been squeezing out as much as possible from all your time prior.
The past couple of days I’ve been watching and reading things just to fill time because I have nothing to do, but I’ve already caught up on all my anime and novels the week prior.
This would have been a perfect chance for me to catch up with last seasons anime…but I’ve already done that.
Now I am left with nothing.

The author has put me out a job this time.
My services are not needed.
Probably.
Unless you want me to ‘translate’ this more authentically.

Enjoy your uh….material.

So my computer makes a weird clicking noise whenever my GPU fans spin up.
Until now there have barely been any games able to put enough of a load on my GPU to make the fans spin up for more than a couple of seconds.
I’m hoping it’s just a cable that happens to be touching it, or just something that will go away tomorrow.
God please don’t force me to have to try and fix my PC again, it’s been nonstop issues with it lately.

Sigh…
Why am I getting so fatigued when all I do is sit at home all day?

I made over 50million on X4 now! Hurray!
This puts me just under half way towards my ultimate goal of building my own spaceship from the ground up!
So far I can make the hull, weapons, shields and engines but I still need to work on the ability to make the drones and missiles.
Of course, even when I can make all the parts I still need the really expensive blueprints to assemble them, which is what I am saving up for.

So it’s been announced that Shokuhou Misaki from A Certain Magical Index is getting her own spin off.
After Accelerator’s spin off was a bit of a drag I hope they can pull this one off.
A Certain Scientific Mental Out here we come!

I am a bit excited because it’ll be interesting to see where this sits in the canon.
Oh dear god please don’t make me have to rewrite a huge portion of my fanfic plans in order to accommodate the new additions to the canon!

It’s Chapter 42! Again!

Did you guys see the trailers for the new anime? Oh right and that Tsukihime remake thing that got announced or whatever it was…
Wonder what that is?
I remember thinking about it before in the past but…that was so long ago I’ve forgotten now…
Oh well can’t be that important.

And then there’s Combatant’s first PV. Yay. Should be pretty fun if they adapt it well.

I don’t have the level of brain power or effort to write much for this pre-chapter rambles today.
I’m quite a bit exhausted.
Spent all the day roleplaying, had to do the event on Genshin which I suck at and it took too many attempts to get it half done…I still need to do the other half tomorrow.
My X4 game is either a miracle or a disaster…I can’t decide which…because two of the major factions of the game have been eliminated in a war, removing an entire race from the universe sandbox. It’s amazing that it’s possible but also not so amazing that my game is now half wrecked by what is blatantly a violation of canon…especially when I was hoping to use that save to experience all the future DLC new too for a unique experience of what happens when a well established empire collides with a brand new one that DLC added instead of coexisting from the start.

Basically I have no energy. It sucks.

I forgot to do my Genshin login because I was distracted with X4.
Alas.
Guess I’ll have to try and remember to do both tomorrow. Or today, since it’s 5am.

I somehow managed to tank the Silicon economy in my X4 game by overmining.
I used to get 130,000 per haul but now I’m lucky to get 110,00 per haul.
That might not seem like much until you realise how frequently my vessels unload their hauls! The per haul drop isn’t over significant but the accumulated loss in profits is a massive dent in my plans to create a mining empire!

Well actually it’s not too bad, I just need to locate another system that I haven’t destroyed the economy of. Or reallocate one of my silicon vessels to mine ice or something instead to let the economy recover from my overabundance.
