Hello there, I hope you all are doing well?
To those who have been with me since November? Last year, this shouldn't be too new although it's a bit worse than usual.
To summarize the whole of this article, my universe now has to pay about $200k per month in electricity bills because our new Supreme leader has crashed the economy even more than the previous one did in less than a year (Heck we were already feeling it 2 months into it's presidency)
Because of this, there will be some extreme cuts so not only will I not be able to get in those few lucky 3-4 hours of work during the day, but the constant nighttime power supply that classrooms used to get is being cut off (And that's when I am usually able to get the bulk of my work done.)
This pretty much means that updates are going to become even slower than usual but I'll try my best to make sure that patreons get content at least once per month.
With the rate at which things are going, I might actually have to seriously consider getting myself a generator but that will take all of the patreon money I have been saving for a new fairly used laptop so it's not a decision I can make hastily and that's without even considering the cost of fuel and armies of people who would want to charge their entire arsenal of electronics whenever I turn it on.
All I can say is that I hope things won't get worse and I'll probably have to impose on them rich kids a little more than usual for now.
Thank you very much for your time and I hope to see you all soon with some new content.
(This is the end of the important stuff, you can stop reading here now unless you're interested in reading a mostly unimportant rant about electricity and reasons why my government needs to****xxx)
Ever since I started working on Visual novels, electricity has been one of my greatest problems alongside my laptop's fragile state. Because of this, all of my fastest release periods always happened when I was anywhere but in school(Except my home state of course, it's got amazing bread but worse electricity which seems like a fair exchange to me with how absolutely horrendous the bread over here is. I have so much to say about bread but that would take like triple of this rants length.)
I was able to release MGI0, Bt extra and I think a new version of Dimensional when I was staying over my cousin's place in a lot less than 2 months because he had constant power supply and even the newest version (0.4) of Dimensional Storekeeper was only able to be the way it was because I was staying at the house of a friend who had a solar panel and only made Why Are You Geh jokes when he saw me making a guy fuck a big booty ginger guy (Hurray for open minded friends I guess).
The funniest thing about this is that this state actually has much better electricity than my home one, over there we'd get like 4 constantly interrupted hours of electricity once ever 5 days and there'd even be times when we would go up to 4-7 months without any only to get some like 3 days to whenever the fuckers bring in the bill.
The whole situation is just absolutely fucking insane but we've pretty much learned to live with it since we know that the government is actively making shit worse as they sell our resources for cheap to other countries so they can stuff their pockets. The only cure for the insanity going on in this decaying country of mine is a whole French revolution style "dragged them into the streets and off with their melons" but with how well guns have developed in the past century, we'd probably be turned to swiss cheese before we could even smell them.
I probably shouldn't go any further before my ISP decides to report me or something but all I can say is that it would take a literal anime style miracle for this country of mine to become something worth being proud of but until then, the rich and foreign corporations will exploit, the smart and talented middle and lower class will immigrate(Alongside a few useless reputation destroyers) and the rest of us will keep on stewing until we finally snap and pull a 1848-49 Europe on our Supreme Overlords disguised as presidents.
Hopefully this whole rant isn't against Itchio policies, I just occasionally need a public space to rant about my pipe dreams of fixing a dead country/continent. But what the fuck can a guy who can't even write good smut do? Even Sisyphus would nope the fuck away from this bullshit.
Sorry for the rant, sorry for the profanity and I hope you all have a nice pre weekend free from headaches.
I should probably stop listening to Megadeth and Hardcore for a few weeks since it only serves to fuel my frustrations (Seriously though, why do peaceful countries like Sweden? And the whole Scandinavia post Venom/Slayer Metal scene produce such "They should be on a crime watch list" music while countries covered in filth produce the feel good dancing stuff?)
