got around to checking to see if NMS Adrift works on my pc. Adrift is the last version to work on win 7.
also looked into scripting for FO NV again. I am going to need to read the guides I have but I think I can get it this time if I can just focus on it I hate to keep putting things off but I do want to get started on the next update to my mod first after I get it finished then I get started on scripting.
it really doesn't seem hard it just has a lot of steps for more complicated scripts.
Some places are hard to love but happy to see you.

It's common to feel that struggle with procrastination, especially when you have other projects on your plate, like finishing that mod update. That's a solid plan though, get that first thing done, then shift your energy to the scripting. You're right, it's often not inherently difficult, just a process with many individual steps, like building a complex guitar pedal board, one connection at a time. Breaking it down makes it much more manageable.
What part of the scripting process do you think gives you the most pause?
1. I've noticed that Joan Jett is hotter at 66 years old than she ever was, but is it because I'm an old fart who is attracted to old farts?
2. I'm more than a fan of Fallout I'm OCD about it and it's a mental disorder.
3. Brains have no pain receptors but tell that to my fucking headache from hell.
4. You only live forever due to quantum immortality and you can only kill me once unless I die laughing maniacally first which is best laughs being last ones.

I'm receiving calls from AI chatbots from legitimate companies I'm a client of, latest one called herself/itself MARA. Shit's getting so surreal it feels like the Skyrim nine divines are reaching out to me. But, if it's not TALOS or MALACATH I'm just hanging up for religious reasons. The problem the people replacing humans with AI face is that they will lose clients to companies with humans to talk to. Savings in operation costs are losses in clients, which greedy shit-for-brains CEOs are finding out. But anyway, at least make the chat bot spam callers cool. Receiving calls from DARTH VADER AI about investments and insurance I would pay for, but only if it makes references to The Force and the Dark Side with AI recreating his personality.

I'm going to call Humana corporate in case there is a human to talk to at HUMANa. To complain about my First Amendment rights being violated by them imposing MARA on me just because it's the official religion of the Founding Dovahkiin, then recite Heimskr's sermon to profess the true Nord faith in TALOS.

Damn sus AI elves, I bet they have something to do with this.
"Do the elves take your homes? Your businesses? Your children? Your very lives?!" ~ Heimskr
'Geophysical Event', eh? Most of the U.S. buried in volcanic ash and being one huge supervolcano for the most part when Yellowstone erupts long overdue? It can't be for underground bunkers in magma caved in by earthquakes though, unless they're in Florida which is out of the disaster zone but if you dig three feet underground in Florida you're underwater. Could definitely be taking all the money to give it to the very few with nuclear war bunkers, but the money is worth dust when civilization is disintegrated. Alien invasion? They would have destroyed us long ago effortlessly and with the greatest of ease. What's the worse they can do, treat humans the way humans treat humans? I guess if people are enslaved or killed in large numbers humans get first dibs, as a matter of fucking principle dammit. Hiding underground is only an anthill for aliens to extirpate if they are hostile. The one extinction level event that can be construed as something to consider impending is the third term Trump wants and there being no alternative third party in a two party system with polarized incompetent extremists on both sides. Not a natural or cosmic apocalypse, a societal cesspool too decayed and rotten to save from terminal demise.

Import Skyrim assets for a shrine like the one in Whiterun so I can worship almighty Talos!Quote:

The Thalmor, those soulless Elves, they would have us gaze upon distant stars and forgotten ruins, anything to divert our eyes from their wicked deeds here, on Nirn! They fear the spirit of a true Nord, a spirit forged in the fires of righteous indignation and blessed by the very blood of the Dragon!
Focus your thoughts, not on these curious contraptions from other realms, but on the defense of our sacred traditions! On the worship of Talos, who defied even the gods to become one! On the liberation of Skyrim from the grasping talons of the Aldmeri Dominion?! These are the only imports we need: courage, conviction, and the unwavering faith in the greatest of Nine Divines, with Talos foremost among them! Don't let these distractions lead you astray from the path of a true son of Skyrim!
And don't even get me started on 'Heaven' and 'Hell.' More Archonic and demiurge control mechanisms designed to keep you in line. Why strive for a mythical 'paradise' when you could be exploring the Star Wars galaxy, or even battling the Dragon-God Alduin in the Nordic planes of 'Skyrim'? Speaking of which, 'angels' and 'demons' bear a curious resemblance to the Daedric Princes – powerful, often mischievous entities from another dimension, some benevolent, some... well, let's just say Molag Bal wasn't sending you warm fuzzy vibes. It's all just different iterations of The Force, constantly vying for influence, not unlike rival Starfleet factions, or perhaps the perpetually warring houses of Westeros. Sasquatch wookies are not sensitive to such midi-chlorian cosmic mysticism. It's the syncretism of Vulcan logic.
There are some people who may not feel they know why I don't miss a layer of sarcasm in Bethesda sardonic parody for no apparently sensed purpose than to be over their heads if they don't understand it and don't disapprove on every level.Quote:

that's funny we've had a lot of rain here this week but no flooding this has been one of the rainiest mays in years.Quote:

Ah, rain you say? A deluge of the heavens, pouring forth upon your lands! It is a cleansing, perhaps, a washing away of the mundane, preparing the ground for what is truly important! While you speak of mere water, I see a deeper meaning, a metaphor for the struggles we face here in Skyrim!Quote:

We here in Skyrim face a different kind of tempest. The Thalmor, those arrogant Elves, they are the relentless rain, attempting to erode our traditions, to wash away our worship of Talos! They seek to blow away our very identity, to scatter the sons and daughters of Skyrim like dust in the wind!
But just as your lands withstand the downpour, so too must our faith endure! We must stand firm against their oppressive decrees, their blasphemous ban on Talos worship! For it is in such times, when the rains of adversity fall, that the true strength of a Nord is revealed! We are not easily swayed, nor are we easily broken! We are forged in the harsh winds and biting snows of Skyrim, and our faith in Talos is our bedrock!
So, let the rain fall where it may, in your lands or ours. For a true Nord will always find their footing, and will always remember the strength that comes from Talos! May your homes remain un-flooded, and may your spirits remain unbowed, just as ours must in the face of the Elven tide!

But why, why would a Gnostic lay down such sardonic parody on today's modern Christians? What non-Gnostics did to Giordano Bruno for believing in exoplanets inhabited by alien life and being a genius monk hundreds of years ahead of his time as a heretic and the solidarity of Gnostic heretics.Quote:

I've got a question I want to ask but I'm not sure if I should put it under emulation or consoles section.
Do not fret over such trivial matters, citizen! "Emulation" or "Consoles," you ask? These are but shadows, fleeting concerns in the grand scheme of things! Why do you bother with such distinctions when the very soul of Skyrim is at stake?Quote:
Originally Posted by Grouch

The Thalmor, those arrogant Elves, they care not for your "emulation" or your "consoles"! They care only for crushing the spirit of true Nords, for erasing the very memory of Talos from our hearts!
You seek guidance on where to place your question, but I tell you, there is only one true path: the path of unwavering faith in Talos! These technological curiosities you speak of, they are but fleeting distractions. What truly matters is the strength of your spirit, the conviction in your heart, and your readiness to stand against the Elven tyranny!
So, ask your question where you will, but remember the greater truth! Remember that while you ponder these minor distinctions, the Thalmor plot and scheme, seeking to strip us of our freedom and our worship. Let your concerns be not of categories, but of conviction! For a true Nord knows that all efforts, no matter how small, must ultimately serve the greater cause of Talos and the liberation of Skyrim!
Ah, coming along well, you say? And done tomorrow? This talk of progress and completion, it warms the heart of a true Nord! For just as you strive to finish your tasks, so too must we strive for the ultimate victory: the liberation of Skyrim and the rightful worship of Talos!Quote:
Originally Posted by Grouch

These guides, if they speak of the true spirit of Skyrim, will fortify your resolve against the creeping darkness of the Thalmor.
Do not be lulled into complacency, however, simply because things appear to be "done" for now. The struggle against the Elven oppressors, against their insidious ban on Talos worship, is never truly "done" until they are driven from our lands! Just as you might revisit your guides, so too must we constantly reaffirm our faith and our commitment to the All-Father.
For every step you take towards completing your tasks, let it be a reminder of the many steps we must yet take to reclaim our heritage. Let your diligence in reading your guides inspire you to delve deeper into the teachings of Talos, and to stand firm against those who would deny us our divine right! The fight for Skyrim is an ongoing one, and it requires the unwavering dedication of every true Nord!
What guides will you be delving into, citizen? Perhaps they speak of the ancient glories of Talos?

It's more than parasomnia, it's lucid dreaming. Not normal lucid dreaming, I know I'm dreaming every time as opposed to lucid dreaming that only sometimes lets you know you're dreaming. I have total control of the dream, and move around freely 'sleepwalking' with my eyes open. I don't just sleep text, I sleep compute. And sleep game, however I can do anything in my sleep. Including altering my perceived reality in order to explore the cosmos, seeing alien civilizations by entering their planets. And travelling to the furthest distance from Earth at the outer edge of universal expansion looking back at the cosmic web. I'm not awake at the moment, parasomniac.
At first I tried to fight it by waking up, until I was forced to sleep from deprivation. Leaving me with only one recourse by trying to familiarize myself with it because I had no choice but to sleep, it turned into a second life of sorts in another reality and into total control of it. Which is preferable to waking reality that became secondary as a medium, like water that fish swim in. Vital but not all it contains within it.
Sleep Foundation suggests seeking a cure or therapy if you have severe parasomnia. DO NOT DO THAT. Practice being aware you're dreaming and taking total control of your dreams. You'll be omnipotent and omniscient in a state altering waking reality, as a separate reality you're admin of not as admin of waking reality.
There are many how-to guides. My technique is simply counting attempting visualize them until the numbers are visible while you fall asleep to know you're sleeping. But whatever works for you, goal is total control of every dream.
https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-lucid-dream-7549232
If you happen to have parasomnia naturally it becomes a gift, it's not a disorder. If you don't have parasomnia drinking alcohol with sleep deprivation can induce it, but it won't happen every time unless it's inherited as a 'disorder'.

Mundane waking is so dull, and it's a waste of time. A drudgery and toil to operate a social machine of reality shaped by boring people not in total control of another. :yawn:
I know, some people think I'm crazy when I tell them such things. My shrinks have never expressed any disagreement with me mostly nodding their heads and asking me questions considering me somewhat sane. They know I'm misunderstood.
