....
But here's the part that really doesn't make sense... I've never really used one of those programs, the closest I've come was fiddiling with the Morrowind editor. I understand how all that stuff works hypothetically, but I don't know any programming language. So where in my imagination was all that coming from?

Past life memories from our extra-terrestrial heritage.

I haven't been on the forums much these last few weeks. Other than doing some hardcore server with hubby and Annex and occasionally Cd (great gaming with you Cd!) I really haven't been giving DDO much thought... so its really weird, but I dreamed I was building the intro quest for the next Ravenloft mini-expansion. Like, in the world-builder program landscaping and setting out a ruined cathedral at the end of this lonely wooded road, just covering it in ravens, stat-ing the ravens, preparing for a Hitchcock style, ornithophobia inducing encounter. To do this, the ravens were not individual organisms but like the gnat swarms in KotB, the ravens were stated and lived or died as "flocks." Inside the quest, I knew the Cathedral was haunted but like Death House the goal was to learn the ghosts were the good guys then aid them to rest. There I was setting up NPCs and writing dialogue trees.

if it helps, when Guild Wars 2 was first introducing raids, i literally dreamed of the introduction to the first wing. like the enemies, layout and all.
so, I'm now looking forward to the cathedral in the next DDO expansion :P

This so sucks.... Like having your favorite Hard Core character die at level 19 - 14 XPs away from the 20.

Two weeks shy of 100. RIP Betty White.

yeah, a real pity. i felt like all those premature articles about her 100th were just tempting fate.
still, heckuva run.

Wanted to share this lil screenshot.
That's the grades of all my work during my Master's.
All that's left is my Thesis presentation, and the conclusion of my Research Seminar (The latter of which i'm extremely likely to also get an A in)

heckuva change from my undergrad GPA of 2.13

Awesome coolness type stuff.

So it took halfway thru Winter to get our first snow this year. Been all around us at one time or another, but is our turn today.

In the home stretch of 20/1750, in a quest far from my comfort zone, and....




...yeah, I probably could've picked a better video name.

I know this is going to become more and more of a thing as we get older, but another icon passes.

RIP Meat Loaf.

Morning All !!!

Congrats DB!

Hope you're doing better CD.

To the recent losses…. I am completely Bummed.
I have no words… for the loss of Betty White…

My have a “Meat Loaf” song as our special song….

Sad about Louie too.

And we just got Hammered with Snow ourselves.

It hit us right after we moved.
Hope everyone is doing well.
I’m still lurking around….

Stay safe all!

Good to see ya drop by, Bek.

News said 30 inches, give or take, up in your turf. The NE is a fun place to visit (minus the Boston driving, and that worthless ground space they call Connecticut) but I wouldn't wanna live there. At least not in any context that involves actually leaving the house in that stuff.

Yeah, depends on where you were.
Round my way we got around 6 to 8” I think.

But I expect us to get hit at least a few time more before all is said and done…

So, news....

Rock n Roll HoF nominees including Pat Benatar and Devo! *fist pump* .... then I saw the rest of the list. Dolly Parton? Like her, but RR? And others. *smh*

Meanwhile, closer to home. Cordo mentioned new forum in the works. LOTRO gets theirs first, of course. That's good cuz on Hobbit-side forum, every page starts with an error page before it *usually* loads on refresh. However, as it involves a new forum software, looks like we're looking at yet another forum wash later this year. That's gonna be a bummer. Again.

What?! What happens to Hall of Fame stuff? Builds? All our stories and messages to everyone? All gone?

Jerry gave up some forum intel on the Hobbit-side stream. When the new forum thing happens, late in the year for them, all current forum gets archived and we all re-register and start over.

yay.

What does archived mean? Still searchable somewhere or gone?

i'm assuming still searchable. else they'd say purged, or deleted, or such.
