It’s about 5am and I should be in bed.
But instead I am discussing with some people on discord about the design philosophy of AI app logos…
I am not sure why…

I just found the topic a bit interesting because I noticed so many were using generic nondescript star sparkles as their symbol.
And the few that weren’t were all using generic nondescript wavy line shapes.

I saw a tweet earlier today saying “there’s a full on Boycott happening” about Mihoyo…
I had a look and it was like 1200 people signing some petition about their dislike of Genshin character designs.

Oh noooo!
I am sure Mihoyo will feel a massive financial dent from the…

Recently I keep getting obviously fake emails for solar panel installation…
I am not sure why I am the target of these, but they have been frequent enough that it surprises and confuses me.

I don’t even own a home to install them on… why me?
How weird…

There’s actually quite a few interludes for this section of the story, I peeked ahead a little.
I was expecting maybe a couple at most but this is like an entire sidestory, well given their content it makes sense.
Anyway, just know there will be a couple more weeks of this tangent content!

Also if anyone knows any good kingdom building or military stories, let me know. I have a desire to read some lately.

I spent all of today rushing through the story of a game I am one month behind on because I realised the first complete story bonuses were about to expire.
That was intense.
I honestly didn’t enjoy the update for the story at all, I was very frustrated with the characters.

Hmmm, it was better than the early story stuff, but definitely didn’t reach the highs of the best chapters in the game so far.
Maybe the second part will expand on it and make things interesting, but as it stands, it was kind of eh.
Far far too much character drama for my preference.

The weekend is coming, that means the Talos DLC will be out soon.
I am super excited to play, I think it’s tomorrow? I’ll probably play the day after because I doubt I will finish the install and have time to play it on release day.

I am mentally preparing myself for the torture that will follow.
The super hard difficult might actually kill me.
I can only hope for the best…

For some reason this chapter didn’t post properly!
Luckily I caught it before we accidentally skipped a chapter, anyway, here it is now.
It’s only a little bit late!

Sadly I forgot what my original ramble was, honestly…
So instead I will talk about how wordpress moved/removed the comment button so now it doesn’t give me a personalised list of my unread latest comments!!!
SO ANNOYING!

Wuthering Waves needs to be handled as a case study for the launch of future major gacha games.

The latest drama seems to stem from a mistranslation in Japanese of one of the weapon effect descriptions which had caused people to incorrectly invest in it, forcing them to do refunds to people for their gacha purchases.

Not wanting to take the loss, the company offered the refunds, but then deducted the refunded from your in game currency… throwing accounts that used the refunds into negative balance… essentially forcing them to have to buy what they refunded to be able to properly progress the game anyway…
THEN to make matters worse they sent an email to EVERYONE that refunded without using BCC, so there is just an email sitting in everyones inbox now with everyone elses email on…

And this is only the latest drama! That’s not even mentioning everything else that happened so far!
