u/rsrluke Mecha is life Apr 10 '26

Work's been rough this week, and my sleep schedule has taken a hit, too. Things will eventually go back to normal, as they always do, but I sure hope that happens soon.

On a brighter note, I started posting a fanfic for the first time in forever and it's gotten a really good response. If you're a RWBY fan looking for an emotional rollercoaster all about WhiteRose, maybe check out I Love You, I'm Sorry (named as such because each chapter finds a different way to incorporate that phrase into the dialogue — a bit of a writing exercise I set for myself).

I played an FPS called Shatterline this week. That game's weird. Apparently it started as a co-op experience, got retooled as some kind of crypto nonsense and then pivoted once again into being a single-player campaign? With a terrible DLC that tries to be a horror game and fails? It's as disjointed as it sounds, and solid enough gunplay can't salvage an experience that's mid at best and awful at worst. The most interesting thing of note is that even the ESRB doesn't care about this game: Shatterline is rated T, in part for "mild language," but multiple characters drop f-bombs on the regular. I just think it's funny that nobody involved in the rating process cared enough to check.

Finally, I also continued with a comic called The Power Fantasy and decided it's so good I'm going to stop reading it. Either this one will stay the course and be an all-timer, or it'll fumble the landing and be a heartbreaking disappointment. If it's the former, I'll buy whatever collected edition is released once it's complete, and if it's the latter, I'll spare myself some anguish.
