"Hey everyone, splitting chapter 4 as it's gotten longer than I would like."
Looks at chapter 5 being 8000 words at the moment. Like I get that a chapter can be as long as I feel, and those 8000 words aren't wasted, but I don't want to feel like I'm wasting y'all's time. Although to be fair, a lot of the length has to do with the fact that I've been improving, describing more things with the way I write. Anyways, chapter 5 is almost done!
Versailles Federation high command: "Admiral Clemenceau, for some reason all the trackers on our nuclear warheads are saying that they are on your nephew's ship. Do you know anything about this?"
Clemenceau: "No idea. Probably compromised trackers. Acadia has likely stolen them, and are going to reveal that we've violated the treaty. Lay down 20 more battlecruisers."
High command: "Dear God... We'll get on it right away!"
Meanwhile, Arno and a Munchkin celebrating as they just committed possibly the greatest heist in Avalon's history: https://youtu.be/f3dpW2kKsw0?si=bdj5uPBZqFu-KIpa
"Clemenceau, we're having to increase taxes due to the war industry. What can we do to improve morale on the home front?"
"Lay down more battlecruisers."
"And what about our friends in Kievya?"
"More battlecruisers."
"Hinowa?"
"More. Battlecruisers."
"My wife left me. What should I do?"
"Millions must lay down battlecruisers. And a carrier I guess."
"Thoughts on a battlecarrier?"
*Clemenceau ascends as the Halo theme blasts.*
Can't wait for Arno to have his late-WW2 USN moment and decide "if there's deck space, put an AA gun in its place!"
You see, the Munchkins' obsession with the Bofors 40mm/L60 AA platform is actually tied to the L O R E!
"Listen, if we don't have at LEAST 120 AA guns, then we are FAILING. I don't want to shoot down planes, I want to shoot down the SUN with how much lead we'll be spewing out!" ~Arno, probably.
Watched my roommate play the new Doom. Looked fun. Might try it at some point.
Wanted to like Eternal but I bounced off hard. Really liked 2016. I'm cursed with being a casual "haha I just want to kill da Demons" guy. I would probably enjoy Eternal if I sat down and tried to learn it, but that's difficult for me. I know, skill issue, I couldn't care less.
So seeing Dark Ages' gameplay looking more slowed down and less G-fuel IV bag has me interested. I dunno yet. Still got games I need to complete for the sake of my sanity, lol. Deus Ex is crying in my Steam library.
@Projectcobra72 honestly first time I played dark ages on that particular level… well it was a Crack apocalypse.
@Sunniertoast Good to see that people can still play it like they're on crack (that's a good thing) even if I won't be, lol.
*Checks patch notes for Wows Legends*
Preussen? Okay, might have a reason to play Legendary tier...
Hunt for Bismarck event that adds Unsinkable Sam as a guise!? Fuck yeah!
Fighter/Defensive AA buff? Thank God! They're actually usable now!
Battle of Jutland event that adds Indefatigable, Moltke and Leipzig!? *Halo theme plays quietly in the background as I try not to ascend.*
LEGENDS IS COMING TO STEAM, HAEH!? Whelp, PC players who hate submarines and even more annoying carriers can switch without having to buy a console now. I can hear the sighs of relief.
TIGER 59 PLAYERS EATIN' GOOD, WE GOT DESTROYER DISPERSION NOW. ALL TWO OF US!
AL Formidable got buffed too. She might be usable when red team uses their brain, lol.
I love how me as a kid was like "Oh, there's a battleship named after my state? Oh... It's a lame dreadnought... Why couldn't it be an Iowa? *Looks at a South Dakota class battleship.* That Iowa look funny."
Meanwhile now, I absolutely ADORE WW1 era battleships/battlecruisers. I find it interesting how technology boomed at the time.
Fun fact! In the time since the year 2000, 25 years, the US Navy went from the Pennsylvania to the North Carolina battleships.
The Royal Navy went from the Repulse to the Prince of Wales (yes, I mentioned them together specifically. It's crazy to think that they served in the same squadron when they went down.)
The German navy in the span of 25 years went from the König class battleship to the Scharnhorst class.
Japan went from the Ise to Yamato in that time period, with only the Nagato class being completed in-between.
Italy went from the Andrea Doria to the Vittorio Veneto in that time period. Similar to Japan, Italy didn't have that many new ships. Both had designs for new capital ships (Japan with the Toda and Kii, Italy with their unnamed 1928 and 1933 designs.)
USS Nimitz is laughing her ass off, having served for 50 years. We will ignore USS Constitution vibing at the age of 227 years old and *technically* being in active service.
I forgor the Clemenceau class carrier existed. Poor Foch.
Guess that's what happens when you get sold to the navy that thought the Atlantico from Wows was a good design.
To be fair though, that design was one guy. And if we could judge an entire navy off of one guy, the Royal Navy would be seen as a blunder. Thanks, certain member of the Royal Navy who thought it was a good idea to not secure the ammo during the Battle of Jutland.
Slight spoilers for Moebius Loop chapter 5!
So a new ship gets introduced, that being the Sardegnan battlecruiser "Dalla Quercia". Here's what you need to know!
-Design wise, she is based off of both early British and German battlecruiser designs, specifically Invincible and Von der Tann. She is the first Federation battlecruiser, and it shows.
-Her name translates to "From the Oak", which is a nod to Von der Tann's "From the Pine". Oak trees are the most common in Sardinia, so Sardegna's first battlecruiser having the name is fitting to me.
-Debating on whether or not I have her fare the same fate as Invincible and be made out of explodium. If you know, you know...
-In the chapter, she appears unfinished, having her guns installed but her engines non-functional. This is a reference to the fact that I need to go to bed so that I can get some sleep and potentially finish this chapter tommorow. Ugh. I hate being creative exclusively at night, lol.
Hello everyone, chapter 5 of Moebius Loop is almost done! I've written more words in the past two days than I have in what feels like months. I don't know where this boost of inspiration came from, but I'll take it!
Anyways, music I've been blasting for the past two days because anytime I find a song I like, I HAVE to blast it for hours on end for some reason, lol. Here: https://youtu.be/eSgWt_0tlt0?si=2q8sW2LB7Vj9VTEJ
Love the old NFS soundtracks. I dunno why, but I absolutely ADORE atmospheric electronic music. It tickles a certain part of my brain I guess.
I don't know where the myth that retail employees can just magically fix everything comes from, but good lord it is annoying.
I get it, having to insert your card three times and swiping is annoying. But telling me that I should fix it is not going to help anything. I'm not as stupid as they think, I know it's not optimal. But I can't do anything but tell corporate, and they'll put it at the back of their priority list. Do customers want me to pull an electrician license out of my ass and magically fix it? I'll pull out another associate to open up while I'm at it!
I'm assuming this myth comes from the same place where people believe that the back of the store is just Santa's little workshop. If it is not on the shelf or skyshelf, then we. Are. Out! There's no magical cache of twinkies in the back.
Was supposed to be on my break 30 minutes ago, but the entire county decided to show up. Yay.
Feel like if every adult had to work retail minimum of three years, society would be slightly better. Tired of 40 year old men throwing temper tantrums because they have to swipe their card. Wahh.
Crime rate would skyrocket for a few months though.
Hey everyone, some Moebius Loop stuff.
-The preamble has been removed, as it doesn't reflect my current opinions, and paints a bad picture of what I'm wanting to do. It makes it seem like I'm writing this out of spite, when that is far from the truth. If this was spiteful, I wouldn't plan for part 2 to be about saving Mobius and remembering Sonic and what he and his friends did.
-Planning on having a lot of brief cuts to different fronts of the war. After all, it is a world war.
-Gonna try and get some concept art out at some point for the ships and their various weapons. Maybe even some character reference sheets or SOMETHING at least. I haven't properly drawn Fayn in what feels like years. Clemenceau doesn't even have an official design yet, despite being a VERY important character, lmao. So yeah, I'll try and work on that.
Anyways, off the blast Grinder from the C&C RA2 ost.
