I have literally no idea what I plan to do for my birthday tomorrow…
Or well, today, because you will read this on my birthday.
Hm, maybe I will treat myself to some nice snacks and then buy a new game.
A friend just bought me Factorio so, I might try playing that!
Oh and of course, I need to continue my Star Rail journey.
It’s a shame the Steins;Gate crossover event on Neural Cloud got delayed, but it is what it is.
I have been progressing bit by bit with Star Rail’s story as I try to catch up after a year of absence, even though my teams are not cut out of the new content.
The Aventurine fight took me ages, I had the same problem as the emanator bug monster boss, where Seele and Sushang died so my DPS dropped…
But this time… Fireblazer and March were able to have permanent shield up time to take no damage when it was just the two of them!
So I literally played probably over 70 turns of battle just slowly taking down Aventurine’s HP bit by bit, yeah that was, an experience.
My shields were enough that I didn’t take any damage, so as long as I didn’t screw up my rotation it was just a matter of time that I would win.
It is now officially my birthday! Go me!
I can celebrate another revolution of the planet!
Weirdly two games I want are on sale right now… so the challenge becomes choosing one!
There might even be some more if I go looking…
Well, that’s for future me to handle…
(It’s not actually my birthday yet as I type this, but it will be the day you read this!)
My friend dragged me back to Star Rail yesterday and uh… it’s a bit of a mess.
I quit the game almost exactly a year ago, so my team is completely all over the place.
I hadn’t started relic farming either so nobody has proper gear. I think I was min-maxing traces and starting to level different characters?
Well basically it’s a mess, I still only have one healer and it’s Natasha from the start of the game…
I have however been making progress on catching up with the story!
I’ve reached the 2.1 update! Honestly I am amazed I’ve made it this far into the story with the four (4) characters I actually have levelled…
Can you imagine my suffering? I had to fight that stabby death dream monster that had a DOT gimmick with two preservation and two hunt characters!!!!
I have no idea how I am going to handle the bosses that follow this…
So although this chapter is scheduled for the 19th it’s not actually going live on the 19th for me.
Which means it’s not today’s chapter but tomorrow’s that will be on my birthday.
I think…
So this will be a few hours early.
If my understand of temporal mechanics is correct, that is.
Unrelated but it was hell scheduling this chapter, cloudflare went down which meant I couldn’t access wordpress in my area…
Oops!
This chapter has illustrations of the characters attached!
They’re actually over on the official wiki for the story but we included them here too!
Honestly it’s crazy these are just web novels set in an rpg systems world…
It’s like DnD fanfic… except not actually “fan” fiction… considering it’s the writer…
The story begins with a wizard freed from a thousand-year confinement and a youngster navigating uncharted territories. Their encounter in a mystical, snowy landscape embarks them on a quest filled with discovery, friendship, and magical encounters, offering daily lessons on life and camaraderie.
