Depression Sessions

uesp:

The UESP and TIL have been given permission to share something very special with you all. There’s been longstanding rumors about the original D&D games that helped influence The Elder Scrolls, with it even rumored that Arena started out as one. While that is a myth, we do have evidence that there were at least two D&D campaigns played by the developers in Tamriel.

Today, with permission from Julian Lefay’s family and Bethesda, we would like to share with you the actual notes from those games. We hope you enjoy getting to explore this look into the early history of The Elder Scrolls, and all of the little things that helped build the larger setting within.

You can find them here, and we’ll have more exploration of these in the future:

If I were a professor at this school, I’d go all in on teaching Diogenes after they did this.

Don’t fuck with Philosophy majors. Some philosophers were extra as fuck.

Diogenese willingly lived on the street, depending on the humanity of others, and he was mocked for it. And he took his lantern, shoving it in people’s faces, and when he was asked “Yo…. what the fuck are to doing? He was like "looking for a man”. Because he saw no humanity in them because of how they treated the lowest people in society. When Plato called man a featherless biped, Diogenese brought in a plucked chicken and was like “BEHOLD! A MAN!” Not just as some great diss at Plato, but as a commentary on how his belief of man is the humanity in how we treat others. Therefore he thought the people that ridiculed him, a beggar on the street, were animals because they treated him with no humanity.

And don’t even GET ME STARTED on his commentary on the rich.

He’s known for his great one liners, but if you actually get into his beliefs, he’s deep as shit.

Breaking: TikTok is better bc it’s more hostile towards humanity

The lack of video content is what kept us here… I thought we all agree that the best feature of this hellhole was and always will be anonymity.

Tumblr’s not asking for my phone number. It’s not going through my contacts to try and connect me with my fucking colleagues. I can come here and talk about whatever I want without anyone ever seeing my face or hearing my voice. I don’t have to censor myself and hide my interests or enthusiasm out of fear of consequences it might have in my real life.

I think the biggest misunderstanding they have of Tumblr is that they think of it as a social media platform when in actuality it’s a blogging platform with social features.

I like the use of Metroman here because if there’s one thing Tumblr users collectively agree on it’s that we want everyone to think we’re dead

is it possible to “accidentally cheat” (on test/in a game/etc. this is not about relationships)

yes, if you do something against the rules but you didn’t know the rule

no, for it to be cheating you have to know it’s against the rules

something else

See Results

There r no stakes here and I personally think both make sense I just enjoy semantics and polls

To clarify bc it seems like maybe I wasn’t clear. I’m asking about the meaning of the word “cheating” this is a language question moreso than a morality question or a “has anyone ever broken the rules not on purpose” question bc obviously people do

“RIP to the English but we’re built different”

Nope, the plague of 664 was confirmed to be an outbreak of the plague and part of the first plague pandemic. Northern Scotland was more sparsely populated than the rest of Britain and the outlying islands had less contact with the outside world so it had a harder time spreading to those areas BUT according to the haughty Irish clergyman, they were saved by being good Christians.

I finished the last constellation tonight. All 40 of them are now done! Went through and double checked and every stitch is in place for them and all the beads are in place. Which just leaves the milky way part to do.

Started stitching the Milky Way in. Slowly making progress on it as I am hiding the travelling thread so the back will look nice.

Looks pretty cool and keeps the readability of the other stitches. Very happy with it. Just a thousand or so to do. As they are in a grid roughly every centimetre apart.

Update on the constellation quilt. I have gotten the last Milky Way stitch done now. Which means the quilting part of this project is done. My next step will be to baste the edges down, remove the pattern, trim the quilt square, and lastly attach the binding.

Progress on the constellation quilt has come along quite a lot now. Finished the binding on the quilt over the weekend. I prefer to machine stitch the binding to the front then hand stitch the back side. It gives such a nice finish to the quilt. Took the time to measure it also and it ended up being 72" by 72" (183cm by 183cm).

With that done I could finally start removing the pattern. Which is taking both less time and more time that I thought it would. As it rips really easily so that goes fast, but the tiny corners and removing it under the beads is slow. You can now see the difference in the glow effect with it against the dark front of the quilt instead of the pattern.

Behold the stars of the constellations of the northern sky! I love how this quilt has turned out. It was a lot of fun to work on and the effect is so cool in person. Overall I would estimate it took about 90-100 hours to complete. Give or take 10 hours if you want to count the time I spent custom dying the fabric.

I made sure to get a nice photo of it in daylight. For once I also remembered to get a quilt label on it. The back really shows the difference in readability of the quilting on the ice dyed fabric compared to the solid front. Thank you everyone that has followed this. I am glad you all found joy in it.

Those that are interested, here is the pattern I used by Haptic Lab. I made the large northern hemisphere version, and plan to make the matching southern hemisphere one next year. I also got your back for the less crafty people. Haptic Lab sells finished quilts in this pattern, both as a large quilt and a small one.

I feel so insane about ai. I’ve had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say “I guess I’ve used a lot of water.” and I’ve been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I’m THE ONLY PERSON who doesn’t use chatgpt. it’s turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don’t you people see??? why don’t you understand??????? this bullshit didn’t exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything
