I got distracted playing Arknights while scheduling this.
Originally I planned to just leave the auto running to get me money but…
Oh this game made the dumb design choice of locking the money quest behind a schedule?
SERIOUSLY?!

Why would EXP be always available but not money?!
ISN’T THAT BACKWARDS?!?!?!

Argh this game goes between good and downright awful.

So in this pre-chapter ramble for Re:Start I discussed maybe starting Arknights.
Well anyway, today I went through the effort of redownloading that emulator and dragging myself through the bios settings again because I upgraded my motherboard some months ago.
Did all the usual jazz.
And installed it.

The game is…
How to put it.
The story is serviceable, there are some weird holes in the lore of the world that are baffling but that is expected of anachronistic settings.
The gameplay however is a bit, it feels uneven.
Some levels feel really trivial and then others are like:
“Aha we lulled you into a false sense of security and now we’re going to screw you over unless you take time to level up even more characters.”

I’m going to keep going and hope that I just get into the swing of things, but when I know I’m having an off time with the tutorial content I don’t have much hope for the late game balance honestly.

It didn’t help that my first happy gacha moment was ruined by it being a dude. I got cockblocked.

When this goes live, I think, Jurassic World Evolution 2 will be releasing tomorrow.
That is, tomorrow on the day of this post.
Not tomorrow for me, the day of this post.
Timezones! Don’t you love them!

Yes for those curious, I preordered the deluxe edition.
I will also be streaming it!
Hopefully.

Well, make sure to check in for the next chapter, I have more game related news for me.

Volume 5 is here!
Also I think I made a brain smush typo earlier on where I accidentally used Volume instead of Series when talking about how we were barely half way through.
I only realised that because we started a new volume and I remembered thinking I said we didn’t start a new one for a while.
Guess I was thinking faster than I can type.

Well anyway, look forward to like a thousand more chapters of this hahahaha.
Oh god my lifes work is going to be publishing this novel.

Volume 5: Heian-kyō! STARTO!

I have become a hardcore Stellaris addict as of late.
I’ve been downloading, changing, swapping, uninstalling and redownloading mods by the dozen.
All just so I can prepare for a roleplay stream playthrough.

The idea is to do a stream where I play through every decision in the nature of not only the empire but the ruler as well.
And I’ll probably set up the empire to be a democracy, so that chat can be members of the parliament to vote on crucial matters of import.

I think it will be fun, but I want to give the playthrough lots of flavour, so the mods are critical.

The title of this Chapter is the same as the title of the Volume.
Does that count as a name drop?
Is it time to roll credits?
Well apparently not because we’re only half way through this volume.

Whew boy, looks like we’re gonna be here for a long while longer!
