Surviving through hundreds of "1" rolls and too many hard crash spots; it took me 40ish hours to complete this adventure with my charismatic tiefling Sorcerer.
Now I wish to tinker around the difficulty a bit and start an evil origin run with Wyll. Which might be the least played path.

I do not talk politics in internet because I live in a nation without free speech thus fear of arrest. Cherry on top, it is currently governed by neo-islamists. Also mostly a lurker on Tildes as well.
But I have a question to ask.
Why do you people (non-middle easterners) care about this war ? -

Drilled screw holes and later cleaned their sharp surfaces for safer handling and coated painting.
I averaged 10 hours a day, 11 with commute, 15+30+15 minutes for breaks.
Most of my time was spent on tapping non-machinable holes. So my wrist would hurt by the end of the day. If I had to grind steel parts their sparks would hurt my arms and had to scrub them afterwards or they would constantly itch.
I was paid 340$ or 1.66$/h after taxes. A more experienced worker can get up to 740$ 3.1$/h.

Combat is considerably harder than Genshin and much more unforgiving with its team building. After a certain point in game all fights become elemental checklists with a necessity for at least one 5-star ( premium ) healer/shielder character to keep you alive.
But when you find your interests and get your account into a bit of shape game flows really well.Story/lore is also denser which ends up as a double edged sword. On one end you have more lore to enrich yourself in the Honkai universe. On the other MiHoyo's weak story presentation becomes more apparent. Translating from Chinese is also seemingly bad for long sentences according to native speakers.

I am also annoyed by not being able to import my previous saves, although this particular marathon was similar to canon.
Controls definitely haven't been made with keyboard/mouse players in mind, I agree on that.

Comment on How are you dealing with inflation regarding everyday enjoyment? in ~life
Anatolian_Archer LinkI live in a country that swings to 100% inflation and beyond once every 20 years. 90% of our diet is pasta/rice/bread and grains.

90% of our diet is pasta/rice/bread and grains. Chicken maybe once a week, 0.5-1 kilo or less red meat in a month. Eating out is only for special occasions or when abusing online ordering sales.
Rents are insane (could be +50% of your wage), people tend to live with their parents so less economic mobility inside the country.
Vacationing or touristic travel is non-existent for many.
Money is invested into foreign currencies, real estate and cars.
But since everything will be cheaper than tomorrow some people abuse credit cards and overspend, essentially living shackled to debt.

And yes I would be very mentally disturbed if I had voluntarily taken part in conception of a human being. I think I would be a better parent than the average , bar is really low nowadays , but nothing is perfect and there were literally no reason for that child to come into existence.

There is no anti-natalism movement either ( There was a group doing some advertising years ago but insignificant ), it is a self-contained philosophy. Meaning you can not enforce it beyond personal level.
I agree that very nature of this kind of thinking process is extremely depressing but you really don't have to dismantle the value of human life or anything like that.
The only basic logic you need to run on is that all sentient lives ,some people include animals as well, are capable of suffering without an ability to consent to becoming into existence in the first place. So a conscious person may decide against childbearing of their own.
This does not mean life itself shall not be cherished, it is actually quite the opposite. Since you only have one life, you should live it to your content as much as possible ( Some anti-natalists go straight into machiavellianist thoughts from here ).
As for r/antinatalism , I don't want to sound like a gatekeeper but that sub started to flood with depressed doomers and environment obsessed people ( like VHEMT here ) after it gone above 30K members, I stopped browsing after that. I also come across some eugenics rhetorics as well which is absolutely unacceptable. ( Stuff like only trying to apply anti-natalism if those parents are disabled etc.)
The main reason I firmly reject this people is because they may not agree with the core principle of the philosophy so they may just go ahead into procrastination if their economic/social life improves which are completely irrelevant to anti-natalism. -

He asked me to design an interface to streamline the process between AutoCad - SketchUp - PvSyst.
I am a bit worried because my greatest achievement in programming is designing a GPA calculator in Python. I have no idea how to link up these programs in an automatic style, let alone code it.

But it kind of saddens me to learn about lore because this game could have been a much more sophisticated project rather than a "just add enough content so people will keep buying."
I am also waiting for Persona 3's Remake crack ( not sure if I am allowed to mention piracy ) so I can experience it, though that seems a bit far fetched.

I started the game with fears of falling into content drought because I had no money to throw at but despite being a gacha game it proved itself to be very enjoyable and engaging.
Its exploration is vast and its characters are colorful. Story content has its ups and downs but overall quality increases as you progress further into.
I am only about 130 hours in ( Sumeru ) so my experience might drastically change in the next 100 hours , especially after I wrap up the story content and side missions.
One complaint I would have is that it feels like game mechanics and graphics are purposely dumbed down to be playable in mobile platforms as well, which I understand why but pains me to see that this game could be a lot more.

Though I wonder if my 10 years old self would side with Light; I sure matured a lot, so I am glad I waited this much to watch it.
Mushoku Tensei's 26th volume will also be publishing next week, when Redundancy finishes as well it might be the end for Mushoku universe or at least a very long hiatus.

Slime could work, since its seasons are not in rapid production and I've grown tired of waiting for them.
Goblin Slayer is also nice but I have a problem with it because its world doesn't seem to exist without its characters.
Hmmm... it is Slime then, should probably start from the beginning.

Never thought I would obsess for a light novel like this again. Now with only 5 novels left until finale I have yet to decide what to read after this. Any suggestions ?
Started my second Persona 5R run, it is nice seeing all those stuff you missed when replaying. Combat also flows better because I actually understand team synergy now.
