A polite, patient explanation that I think we should acknowledge the potential ethical issues of AI just earned me my first ever accusation of being a troll.
After more than twenty years on the internet, I feel I have finally completed a major rite of passage.
#I have now concluded that this person is either unwell/a child/a troll themself and is therefore not worth engaging with#difficult with my anxiety-driven brain and their self-appointed role of Most Super Important Fan Ever! in this community though#forgive me I've had two hours sleep after a long midnight drive and I am running on coffee and frayed nerves

Was anybody going to tell me there's a rumour Bethesda are remaking Oblivion, or did I have to find out from responding to my brother's excitement about the Switch 2 with a joke that he should wake me up when Bethesda announced anything TES-related other than "Skyrim, Again", to which he replied "well, actually..."?
Catching up with the rumours and comments about it has been fun.
"It's coming no it's not yes it is confirmed not happening confirmed being released in the next ten minutes I want to get off Todd Howard's Wild Ride"
#posting now even though I should be getting ready for work because it might have been released by the time I get home#honestly don't know whether I'm excited or not (assuming the rumour is true)#frithjofr was my defining oblivion experience and I LOVED it#but I don't know if I can revisit that emotion again#there's nothing like playing a game for the first time#the story. the ''sneaking'' by sprinting through a room screaming. the accidental horse theft. 'alchemy' consisting of preparing a sandwich#that delightful chaos cannot be replicated#not to mention how I played oblivion while at uni/just after leaving#that was such a specific period of my life and I'm both a very different and uncomfortably similar person 10+ years later#and of course everyone here! I wouldn't be here if not for oblivion and the lovely people who welcomed me into the tes rp community#no frithjofr = no boarchasers = no hlenil/morinah/fria = no pirates = no pirate dnd campaign = no morris#(skullduggan would probably still exist though. sorry about that.)#totally offtopic by the way but I dreamed I was fria making a manta ray puppet the other night. it was beautiful#the frills at the edge were a floaty material and the body was illuminated with swirl patterns

#acephobia#transphobia#not that I needed more reasons to hate this massive disappointment of a human being#also how can you be that ungrateful and antagonistic towards people who helped lay the foundations of your vast and undeserved wealth?#because while the books were wildly successful I don't think the franchise's momentum would have survived without the films#anyway will probably delete this later because I don't like to give her and her rhetoric oxygen

My cat has recently learned that instead of going windowsill -> floor -> bed to jump on me at 6am, this slightly overweight middle-aged fluffball can launch himself directly from the windowsill to my abdomen, and he has decided to use this power for evil.

Update upon finishing the book: the main character had a disappointing and inexplicable personality switch as soon as they met the love interest and nothing proceeded to happen for the rest of the book. Skullduggan would never.
Friend with no knowledge of my tabletop characters recommended me a book which might as well be about Skullduggan, and I have to say, the frustration of not being able to explain to anyone why this book seems to be targeted at me specifically and personally is unparalleled.
#the unique disappointment of a book which lures you in only to become boring partway through#leaving you obliged to finish it while mourning what could have been#I spent all day at work rewriting it in my head#anyway I copied the notes I made for Skullduggan family histoy stuff on my phone to an rtf and there are. a lot.

Staying in a hotel with an actual working thermostat.
Brain: Maybe I will make the room warm so I can snuggle up and be cosy on this foggy winter night.
Body: If you do that I will self-destruct without hesitation.
Brain: Why?
Body: I dunno, just because.
[Five minutes of cosy warmth later.]
Body: I FUCKING WARNED YOU
#that was a rough night.#then had to climb to the top of st paul's first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. good times.#personal stuff#anyway I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with people's posts! nearly at the end of Doing Stuff for a while

#ancestor headcanons probably incoming#even my board game group are just ''I do not know or care for this book but you do you''#the travails of always being the one who gets slightly more obsessed about fictional characters than everyone else#personal stuff
