Potential Site Changes (Plus Other Things)

Potential Site Changes

Legibility is one of my biggest concerns with the Praedian Records (which is ironic because the Praedian Records the site was inspired by is an incomprehensible mess). I like the way the theme looks right now, but I’m thinking about making a second theme that’s entirely focused on legibility.

It also wouldn’t be a bad idea to experiment with the fonts and text sizes to find something that looks good with the colors I’m using. I haven’t decided on any of this yet, but I’ll probably be playing around with the settings again early this month to improve things.

Clan Battles

Clan Battles went well. Storm League is pretty rough, but we win more often than we lost. Mistakes get punished noticeably harder, and despite that, there are crazier plays that get made by destroyer and battleship players in particular, so Storm is a special kind of chaotic. Overall it’s pretty enjoyable.

It’s physically draining, though.

Also, I was able to free xp my way up the German battlecruiser line from tier 6 and grab the Schlieffen. Most of the matches I played today were in her and I’m satisfied. The ship takes some getting used to, but once I’ve gotten used to the way she handles, Schlieffen should be as strong a pick for me as Bourgogne, Kremlin, or Yamato. Where Bourgogne flanks and blows up anchor ships and Kremlin and Yamato carry gigantic stop signs with them everywhere, Schlieffen enforces an impoverishing HP tax on any ships within 12.5km of her.

Book Choice

My book choices are going to seem pretty random from an outsider’s perspective, but I’m essentially just plucking things out of a backlog.

This month I’m going with The Long Moonlight by Razörfist.

That’s all for now.
