Oh my god. Fischl is amazing.
Her personality is pure gold.
I was dying of laughter while streaming the new event quests.

I hope that the other characters also get quests like these in the future to better get to know them.
Honestly this is a largely overlooked part of gacha game design.
People are way more inclined to roll for characters they are familiar with. Gameplay is only of equal value, not superior.

So World of Warships is doing another chapter of their ongoing Apreggio tie in events.
I love Arpeggio a hell of a lot.
As part of this continued event rerun type thing they’ve rereleased Takao has a buyable DLC.
The catch is she’s SUPER HORRIBLY OVERPRICED!
Like holy hell!

I want her so bad because she’s my Arpeggio waifu but the price is just ludicrous! I could buy two or three whole games for that one ship!
Even if it was half I’d still hesitate because I barely play the game!!!!
What the hell!

I started playing Conan Exiles on a sever with the people I roleplay with on discord.
I’ve been having some great fun doing things over there.
I always enjoy games like that on multiplayer as opposed to solo, mostly because I can do less work.

Other people can do the annoying parts for me and I can do the fun bits.
Like building elevators for no reason.
Those are cool.

Just as suddenly as it felt like it started, we’ve reached the end of Volume 2!
It’s almost like a bit of a cliffhanger really.
Oh wait maybe that’s because it is?

What have your been your guys feelings about Volume 2?
Sadly I didn’t get to finish any of my .5 chapters due to computer troubles and general nightmarish timing.
Also game addictions.
But I’m sure that Volume 3 will present some juicy potential sources for more spin offs!

Or perhaps to celebrate the end of Volume 2 you should suggest a .5 chapter you’d like me to write!

Well the Genshin Impact full update news is available now.
Really the formatting was a bit of a nightmare but I managed to pick out the important stuff.

I wasn’t expecting a new spontaneous event to coincide with all the story updates but I guess they’re trying to push content hard.
Also I get a free chuuni.
Finally I might be able to build an alternative to my Amber.

Seriously a bow user has become a staple of my team construction but Amber is the only one I have so I have to use her in almost every team I set up!
The only team she’s not in are the ones for vine hacking!

Who do you think has the most precious chest in Genshin Impact?

Okay let’s think of something to write!
Well as you remember we hit about 11 on the plot scale of 1 to 10.
The acceleration is about to slow down now though.
Or at least I hope so!

Otherwise it’ll be too fast!

So today I was talking to my friend and they mentioned how one of my OC’s would fit into the Genshin universe and now I hate myself.
I’m not really super into or against Genshin or anything.
But one of my characters is kinda too close for comfort.

For the record it came around because she’d be a dps hydro greatsword wielder.
Luckily absolutely none of the other characters from her sitting would conform to genshins universe. So they’re safe.
Supporting cast victory!

Also I have no idea what is going on in this novel anymore.

So I’m writing this the day after halloween but I think you guys get this the day after the day after…
Well not that it matters.
Did you guys have fun?
It used to be a bigger deal round where I live but the past few years have seen a huge decline in participation. And I think this years events might be the nail in the coffin.
If you excuse the phrase.

As with all rng equipment based grind games, I have immediately lost most of my interest and investment in Genshin.
I was doing lots of side quest things with the intention of just doing what I could do before moving on to the more difficult areas.
And the game decided to force a difficult level increase on me.

Now my DPS can’t keep up at all. The enemies have tens of thousand of health and I do 100 damage per hit on average.
I hate it when games punish you for not min-maxing dps.
I either need to spend a fortune getting better units for better combinations, or I need to stop doing what I was finding fun and do what they want me to do so I can play their game.
Awful design.

All I wanted to do was get collectibles and achievements before I moved on to the next town.
And now I spend thirty minutes fighting bosses and failing every time trial challenge there is.
Way to ruin it for me.

And it’s not like there’s a readily available fix too because upgrading my equipment needs items from the next town which is probably a nightmare to reach because all the enemy levels have doubled!

I was intending to do some challenges on Tears of Avia to write guides for them since people were struggling with the difficulty.
But then I got distracted.

Now I have too many games to balance once more.
I want to complete the Tears of Avia achievements, I’m also supposed to be playing on the shared Empyrion server my discord has once more, and on top of that I’m playing Genshin Impact in my spare time now.
As a result I no longer have enough time for my games. If it’s only two then I can balance them, one for streams and one for free time off stream.
But with three it becomes awkward.

Well I finished the Mondstadt arc as you could call it of Genshin Impact.
I guess it works as a plot hook!
Now I guess I just need to hunt all those orb thingies and finish off the area achievement so my OCD can let me move on to the next town…
But let’s do that when it’s not 6am…

Yes I copied this straight from discord. I was too tired to think of some new way to phrase it.
