A trans girl who just wants to have fun. Lover of music, video games, manga, and internet novels.
Finally got inspired enough to try and get back into Phantasy Star Online 2.

Last time I tried playing with any seriousness was back with PSO2: Episode 4 on PSO2 Tweaker back in the day on my crummy laptop. So, I guess I'll see how I like the New Genesis content.

Eating breakfast to the Command and Conquer: Red Alert 1 soundtrack is certainly an experience.

Only YOU can deploy the Chronosphere while eating a peanut butter sandwhich.

Welp, I did it. I bought a Switch 2 before the prices rise due to RAM costs.

Time will tell if this was a mistake.

How my latest game of EU5 is going.

I don't think this was what the developers intended, but ok.

*Glances at local weather*

Okay, I know the answer is climate change but why in the actual heck is it going to be 2 degrees tomorrow morning? It's the mountains of North Carolina, not Newfoundland.

Clearly, this arctic pluge is an act of war against me in particular.

After two weeks of grinding, I finally got the Jagd.Panzer E-100 in World of Tanks! :D
December 11, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Finally got some wins today. I'm happy.

Team quality has dropped significantly lately. I haven't won a single battle this morning. Guess I'll go back to reading.

In all my time reading internet novels and fanfictions, one thing I will never understand are the people who go into an overpowered main character story, then come out of it complaining that the main character is a "mary sue" or any number of other such complaints.

Holiday Ops in World of Tanks has begun, and I've been busy bullying the new Chinese heavy tank with my arty.

At this rate, I'll have enough converted exp for the Jagd.Panzer E-100 in no time.

I've seen the number of Type-71's in pubs double this morning.

All I can say is that they don't seem to know how to use it to it's maxium effectiveness like I do. Then again, I've bern playing the thing since it first came out in Blitz.
November 27, 2025 at 4:57 PM
They just announced the Type-71 is getting a T11. Switched my grind to save up for that and got a big win. :D

Finally got to the T8 in the Jagd.Panzer E-100 line last night. It's a lot of fun now that I have armor to play with. :D

Christmas update is coming for World of Tanks, and checking the supertest list for probable winter box tanks includes two brawler Japanese tanks.

WHY. Japan is not a tech tree that does brawlers, they do snipers.... The only tank in the Japan tree that can remotely brawl is the Type-71...

You know I'm at the edge of boredom when I'm listening to Caramelldancing on loop like a madwoman while refreshing SpaceBattles waiting for updates.

I'm finding the grind for the Jag.Panzer E-100 very easy so far.

It's very easy to deal a lot of damage thanks to the good alpha damage and strong penetration of the guns. I've risen three tiers in a week.

Listening to some electro swing from the big 2020 push has got me thinking. We're really "replaying the hits" from the 1920's.

Massive viral pendemic that spirals out of control, massive income inequality that leads to gambling in the stock market, a stock market bubble filled with debt....

EU5 has patches now and no longer crashes when trying to make war. A look at how that is going so far. Soon i shall form Spain and start to explore the Americas.

Eating at a brewery I haven't been to before now. Very good food.
November 17, 2025 at 6:16 PM
A literal last second victory.

For a match with a bot and a troll, we somehow won. Was a stressful, but fulfilling win.
November 8, 2025 at 3:55 PM
On one hand, I'm not home right now. On the other, I REALLY want to play something on my computer.

Just the mere thought of nailing something in my FV4005 on World of Tanks is making me restless to play it.
November 7, 2025 at 6:46 PM
EU5 is really kicking my ass. It sucks that there isn't much telling you what you are doing wrong when things go wrong. My country is collapsing and I don't know why.

I just wanna explore and colonize. T,T

EU5 IS OUT. Goodbye for the next month.

Worm fic got me listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival this morning.

Nothing like some CCR to fly in a helicopter into an active combat zone, reguardless of type of fiction.

Paradox just released a performance guide for EU5, and it's ringing a lot of alarm bells in my head.

The two key points of alarm are:

- There's no mention of CPU performance, the most key part of any PDX game
- The recommendation of MFG+DLSS, the snake oil of the industry
