Well, you can’t really blame me!
Well, okay, you could but it would be kind of unfair.
That health problem I was speaking of last year, the one I had surgery for, came back and they warned me if it did I would have to have the more invasive surgery. So that gets into a whole mess about how nobody apparently accepts my insurance and searching for a surgeon that does and blah de blah blah. And at this rate I may end up having to go to the ER again because I think it may be affecting my liver and stomach now. If it was a reasonable health problem, it should have done that bursting thing and gone away already, but like everything in my life it is not reasonable.
Anyway, back in June, I got married, so I’ve been preparing to move in with the hunkster and that’s been a lot of frustrating struggles with cars that won’t start and passport renewals. Meanwhile that health problem thing has been getting increasingly worse.
Alas, that is life. On the other hand, my roleplay group has sort of disbanded with the end of the game, so I found myself with actually more free time and the other problems are sorted for the moment. I got into the Fate/Stay Night/Zero/the millions of offshoots series, and I’ve been poking my head back into modding for a bit. And it’s rather strange because I haven’t really been much interested in anime the last few years. I think it’s because of the legends involved in the Fate/ characters. My favorite legends have always been ancient European ones, whether Norse, Greek, Roman or Celtic…
That means updates should start happening again, especially considering I have a whole bunch of posts I was working on before things got bad, like the Dwemer language translation. I’m checking into keeping the Kenzeft thing going but it’s hard to pick up from where I left off since it’s been over a year and I had no idea what I was doing. Something about creating the new worldspace and trying to fix it where you couldn’t actually see the edges of the worldspace on the map. At least the LODs were working right and I wasn’t getting that really weird Salvadore Dali floating chunks thing going on. In fact I may have started to populate the island with trees. I was going to update my Stars texture mod, too, with the brighter versions so people could pick based on if their ENB or whatever darkened the stars so they couldn’t be seen, but I have no idea where the dds files I’d saved are, so that may take a bit to happen, too. I swear I had a new zip file with an installer that included the constellations with lines and the brighter galaxy but I can’t find it anywhere.
I think I will be discontinuing the Eldritch Tamrielic Lore posts though as I’ve poked about the fanbase forums and found to my intense shock they were being discussed (I honestly had no idea people actually came to read my blabbing) and a lot of people seem to misinterpret the post series for what they are; opinion pieces. Well, the problem boils down to if they were going to be academic pieces I would have actually cited a lot more stuff and did a better job of it, but considering this ain’t college and I don’t have to pander to a tyrannical English 102 teacher that has it in for me… Yeah, I don’t really care if you don’t agree with me, but for god’s sakes be less insulting about it when you pick apart an opinion piece or at least ask if I do have sources. :P That’s what comments are for. I wasn’t sure to be amused or just grumpy about it. I think I was shocked and grumpy. At the very least, try TVTropes’ articles on Eldritch for some good ideas. I don’t know. I’m not particularly bothered to go back and redo the posts. Maybe someday when I get enough energy. At least I know to make sure I got my posts labeled for the future. But if it will help, I encourage everyone visiting to read the disclaimer so they get a better idea of what my blog is about.
Also, hilariously, people think I’m a dude. I wonder whatever could have given them that idea…
