![]() Oh, and also a few absolutely fugly commanders like a literal mecha unicorn, weirdly out of place TRON- inspired abomination and that pumpkin monstrosity. It had a pretty shit launch and then the Titans fiasco, but it seems that a company made by the game's fans has bought it out and released a few updates including massive balancing patches, map fixes and a few new units: an anti air missile bot called "Stinger", a strafing anti ground aircraft called "Horsefly" and a light wheeled raider called "Stryker" as a sort of dox analogue to armor factories. ![]() Hmm… 300 players with peaks up to 1100, not terrible. I was somewhat surprised that it was not dead yet. There haven't been many games in that genre in a while, but I did have a few in the Steam library, including Planetary Annihilation. Mostly I took up overly modded Factorio: Space Exploration, then I revisited a random MMO that I used to play back in high school and then I kind of wanted to try an RTS. At first, I read a couple books on the subject of my work to aim for a raise after the first year, but eventually I kind of burned out and could no longer force myself as a vague sense of hopelessness accumulated along with the news and later early results of further and further limitations imposed both from the inside of the country and against it from the rest of the world.Īfter almost a month of this vague unease and loss of motivation, I managed to get somewhat on track of doing at least something: I force-fed myself an audiobook called "Project:Hail Mary" to get myself out of this hole of unproductiveness and started gaming again, for the first time in over two years. Luckily for me, covid kind of forced the company to adopt work from home and I had a personal laptop with no efficiency monitoring software. Weirdly his position ended up being overloaded with things that he had to do and not even enough time to offload these things to his subordinates, which is arguably not a great look, but this gave me a lot of this weird "half-spare time" where I had to be "on deck", but with basically nothing to do. Randomly during the day the head analyst could show up and give a task that I needed to complete within the next hour or two, after which he confirmed it and disappeared again for days. As a result, I'd exhausted my tasks and was in a perpetual state of awaiting further instructions, as I was not experienced enough to find new tasks on my own. In any case, I was a first year business analyst and my job was to translate what buyers wants into the format that programmers can read, and recent events made buyers not too sure regarding what they wanted. I guess the information sharing ban is technically moot since I'll likely never get home for it to be enforced, but the habit and vague sense of fear and unease is hard to shake off by the time I decided to make this entry so here it is. It is all mostly due to the events of the last two years, and specifically due to the mess which occurred during this spring, an event that I am technically not allowed to mention. ![]() It all started during a slow and not too interesting day at work, a day not too different from most other workdays in the last 4 or 5 months, I think. So yeah, I hope you’ll enjoy my writing and let’s get started. I also plan to at least start with a few less touched settings, in addition to altered universe or crossover destinations later on so things might not go too “canon”. ![]() To somewhat spice things up, I decided that I’d be refluffing PA techs compared to other Commanders, in addition to some things related to what things work in which universes to somewhat limit the inevitable tech snowballing, but those would be touched on in- character later on. Thanks to Fusou’s story for introducing me to this concept. Hence, here is my entry in the self insert Planetary Annihilation multicross fanfic genre. Long story short, due to external circumstances I was forced to put my quest on a hiatus until things blew over, but I ended up way too bored so I decided to start on something new. While this is the first time I’m dealing with SB and SV, you might recognize me for being the QM of Synthetic Gods Quest on 4chan’s /qst/.
