I swear I'm on it...🙏🏻📖
For me? That's a lot of spoons unless I ramp myself up to it. 🥄 But I want it enough to dedicate a couple hours a day to getting that done.
The book annotations/reactions have taken a bit of a backseat as a result, but I do intend to do that as well--I enjoy it, it's the current IV of nuance that keeps my motivation up. I just need to come up with a more efficient method of note-taking, quoting and turning that into commentary. My current project is a library book, so I need to get that thing read before I have to return it.
I have no idea how many times the library will let me renew...
I'll definitely be making some re-assessments this weekend. 📆

Fandom: The Point of Roleplaying Games
"These games just let you become the head of every guild and faction in the game without consequences, it's SO unrealistic!"
Look, if you want to play out your BORING CLEFT-CHIN HUMAN WARRIOR GIGA-CHAD power fantasy in Skyrim and become the head of every guild and faction on the same character, that's your business...but if you were role-playing a specific character of a specific build with a specific personality, would they realistically put in that much effort?
Probably not!
Why would they? That's a lot of work to put into entities that have NOTHING TO DO with your gameplay style or your character's interests.
Imagination, discernment and reason are key here.
Something I miss from early-to-mid Elder Scrolls games is that they had faction politics. In TES3: Morrowind, if you joined the Mage's Guild, the Dunmer Temple and House Telvanni HATED your guts! There were consequences to your faction choices.
Can we bring back actual consequences, Bethesda? PLEASE? OTHER than Survival Mode? 🙄

A lot of that knowledge and tech was buried in a cataclysmic event, and the early Emer did not have access to that knowledge and tech to begin with, so we're looking at a very, very long time where the Emer had to fend for themselves from ground zero, picking through the wreckage of the humans before them.

Update: Seeing what sticks
Since I just started writing regularly this month, it's been a lot of me dumping in entries that I feel should be here, and then curating under tags and filters as needed. That is the epitome of my creative process in most of the things I do: starting with a mess and organizing it into art.

IRL Snapshot: Multimedia Expressions
This doesn't upset me anymore, however, because I have solutions:
I blew the dust off my tablet, and I've been using that with a Bluetooth keyboard to do a lot of my recent writing.

Fandom: Why I don't ship Link with Zelda...or with ANY other character, for that matter!
Other than the world lore and what other people say about him, we don't really get to know Link.
