We have a baby chapter here!

I woke up in a state of panic today because I thought I had thirty minutes to edit and schedule things.
But I had forgotten the clocks had gone forward for Daylight Saving and I still actually had an extra hour.
Phew, saved my life!

Still, can’t get complacent. I was almost about to give up and just accept I wouldn’t make it in time.
(Listen between scheduling these chapters and taking a long shower; my priority is the long shower. You readers can go suck it!)

Do Fate/Grand Order just dropped the first Lostbelt chapter a little in advance because of all the Corona stuff.
I am both happy and annoyed at how sudden it was! I was expecting some warning! But I am happy to play it.
The annoying part is that I am super busy this weekend thanks to editing and other things I need to get done.
Oh man you should have seen my face when I saw the Cosmos in the Lostbelt chapter screen!

I still haven’t even had time to play the Stellaris Federations DLC properly! Though on the upside that gives the mods I use a chance to update.
The game just wouldn’t feel the same without the infinite lore and roleplay popup mods I use.
(I play Stellaris to watch a story unfold, not to get a convincing strategy game experience).

A lot has happened in a week huh.
Corona Virus debacle is reaching its final form.
The anime season changed over.
Silva got mad at a translator again.
My Dungeons and Dragons campaign has started its continuation.
Oh and my shed is being renovated into a private bar.
Also some stuff about other things…

I hope you all have some relaxation time!
Stay safe!

Well, the Fate Grand Order event rerun is ongoing, so I’ve been farming that, slowly, painfully and arduously.
Seriously this event was really poorly balanced the first time they ran it but it hasn’t improved at all.
I guess that should be expected a bit from the first event the game ever had though. I actually quit the game at first because of this event, only returning to play when the Garden of Order event released (which ironically had its own rerun just a few weeks ago!)

Now, I’m actually scheduling these chapters a mere 1 hour before they go public! So I need to hurry up or else Silva will notice!
Oh and I’ve got to get up early tomorrow, so I should schedule Demon Sword Maiden a little earlier too so I can get some sleep properly tonight.

I’ve been binge reading to catch up on How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom (I still find myself preferring the other title of A Realist Hero’s Kingdom Restoration Chronicles).
I’ve almost finished all the currently translated novels but I’ve got two to finish, I surprised myself with how easy it was to find where I had left off about a year ago actually. Thankfully the last volume I read had a easy to remember event to use as a guidepost.

Anyway, I still haven’t watched the Babylonia episode so I should go do that!

So I had to clear my cache recently because wordpress was throwing a tantrum and now all my stuff has been logged out and all that jazz.
I hate it when that happens.
Yeah.

Nothing is going right for me, well my Ereshkigal figure is dispatched soon so I can just look forward to that and take my mind of things.

But /backspace that also means I have to worry about paying for shipping /return. I wonder if I can get some more editing work /escape. But /backspace that would mean less anime time /return. I would rather not lose out on anime time /return. If anyone can guess the reference then I will give them points /return. I wonder if anyone will be able to guess /escape.

This chapter is about Life, The Universe and Everything.
I joke of course.

That sort-of-weekly anime roundup time!
To be honest I can’t remember much of what happened this week. Maple was Maple. Babylonia was Bab-ERESHIKGAL IS SO FRILLING CUTE! Dendrogram was a let down. (Novels are better! Go read them!) Oh and some other anime I happened to watch yadayada.

What actually happened this weekend is I started playing Stellaris again after quitting because I didn’t like one of the updates. I still don’t like the updates. The ‘new’ planet mechanics are a nightmare and I don’t understand them at all, and the automated sector system drives me nuts because it, ironically, removed the one bit of automation I used the manual version of sectors for.
Like before you could plot out a sector and tell the AI to do its thing with it.
But now the AI plots out a sector and YOU have to do YOUR thing with it.
THAT’S BACKWARDS! I DON’T WANT THAT! Sure plotting was a bit time intensive especially in multiplayer but this half assed sort of removed-sort of kept design drags it down for me.
Also before I used to colonise random planets then release them as vassals, but if you do that with the new sector system then you don’t just release the planet but all the surrounding systems too! It takes a huge chunk out of your empire!
My main problem is still the ‘new’ planet mechanics. I just can’t wrap my head around district and building management with all the menus and submenus. The idea was that it was supposed to reduce the micromanaging but I feel like it’s done the opposite for me, because I don’t have any clue what’s going on with my planets I end up staring at the screen or building random junk I think is important. For this game after my expansion
stalled and I had to start building up instead of out I’ve been operating in the red for pretty much the entire time, because I just can’t figure out how resources synergise. The old planet style was nice for me since it was all very visual instead of text based, you could tell at a glance without reading like five dropdowns of population and district counts and blockers. Yeah dragging your pops around required time but way less time than this clustertruck! Argh.
I hate it, but I love the rest of the game, it’s just annoying that the planet mechanics are so integral you can’t overlook them.

Anyway rant over.
