I have a surprising amount of things to ramble about considering not much has happened today.

One of the things that's been hanging over my head is the current raid in BA. I put it off until today, the last day, and oh god it kinda sucks. The gimmick with Chesed is that it's a mob-based fight, with phase 1 basically being a "boss" version of a regular stage. There's two stupid problems with it; the first and honestly lesser problem is that Chesed just gains a fuckton of health in the jump from level 50 to level 70. It genuinely goes from ~700k to ~3M. The second is that the majority of AoE units fucking hate indoors terrain, and that's the terrain the Chesed raid has. Despite the big damage loss negative terrain affinity represents, it's normally only relevant for optimization. But when all your students are suddenly dealing 80% damage, it really matters!

The internet issues have continued and morale has not improved. I have at least been informed of a way to diagnose the issues, and it is seemingly an issue with the router. Even though it only affects my PC. I was thinking it could be a motherboard issue but unless there's something wrong with both small PCIe slots then I'm not sure what the issue even would be. The internet issues have been particularly bad tonight, which is part of why it's been on my mind. I was actually doing another thing I wanted to do that I was putting off (going back to rhythm games by playing some DJMax) but even though I got to play for a bit I don't really want to have to reboot the game every 15 minutes because my internet keeps fucking up.
