It's my 10 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

#10 year tumblrversary #tumblr milestone

hi! i have no idea how old is your post about skyrim s3x mods, and feel free to delete this ask anyway, just wanted to add my 2 cents! i agree VERY much in that i would like more m/m content especially (f/f is possible most of the time; and calculated in). few other things: rape fantasy is super common, and, if you engage with such media sensibly, totally fine. there are a lot of people (women, too), who like to play the "victim" role. monsters are...a more rare kink, really, but not particurarly dangerous either. there is other shit in the adult modder community i'm SO uncomfortable with and think it's gross and would not want to touch it with a ten foot pole (like, i won't list here), but as long as it's tagged and warned for properly so if someone wants to they can avoid it, and people can seperate fantasy from reality, it's...fine :) you have to take care of yourself if you engage with content that could lead to something that's hella upsetting to you. but as far as i've seen, modders and other users are usually not being assholes and don't want others traumatized by their stuff, either :) also: i'm an user, not a modder, and afab, so this is just my side of things

Hi!

You had asked this a month ago and I’ll admit my time on tumblr is not what it used to be.

I’ll also admit, my thoughts on much of what I have talked about regarding sex mods has softened quite a bit. I still have my own boundaries, but you have to realize other people are gonna be different. And while my own thoughts have changed slightly, the post is still relevant for my thoughts at that time.

Though I might add an addendum to it, updating the post to be more relevant at this current point in time.

But I agree, as long as things are tagged properly avid moderate won’t get a shocking surprise. I also agree again that there should be more m/m mods out there for people. There are some, but they are so few and far between.

Connections

[[I guess we can add City of Heroes to the long list of games that this tumblr is attached to. So that’s Guild Wars 2, Star Trek Online, Skyrim/ESO and now City of Heroes/Villains/Going Rogue. I’ve just got one character to put in for CoX and it’s music heavy, so lots of videos to go with it.]]

Name: Dominique Turgeon (no link at present) Alias: Canadienne (feminine of Canadien) Race/Nationality: Human, Canadian (Metis, Mohawk) Place of Origin: Laval, Quebec Birth Date: July 1, 1986 Current Location: Paragon City (on tour) Job(s): musician, producer, studio guitarist, lead guitarist of the Montreal symphonic metal band Seven Years of Blood Familiar With: Currently no one, has been away from Paragon City for 8 years (literally, that was the last time I played CoX)

Availability: evenings, always evenings. Familial: Low - was the oldest child of two children in a family of four. Her father was known as Canadien during the FLQ crisis of 1970. Most would not know this at all, though some might make the connection that there might be a connection between the one from the 1970s and the current one. Past: High - Dom has been the lead guitarist of Seven Years of Blood since she was in high school. Along with her high school friends, Yves Manderville (vocals, piano), Jacqueline Manderville (vocals, rhythm guitar, bass) and Michelle Villeneauve (drums). Would Know - In the past twenty years, the band Seven Years of Blood has released 12 albums, Dom and the four original members of the band have been a part of all of them, for the fourth and fifth albums (Spill It and Naked Truth), vocalist and keyboard player Able McIntyre was added, then dropped after a murder conviction, since album 10 (Here We Go Again) the band added Raven Running Cloud (bassist, backing vocals) and Marcus Cromwell (keyboards, vocals). As Canadienne, Dom began her career as a costumed crime fighter at the age of 17 (the same age her father began crime fighting during the 1970s). There is little to no connection between the band and Canadienne, though some have speculated, as Canadienne often appears with costumed crime fighters Grey Kestrel, Acadia and Archimedes. Current: High - the band is back in Paragon City making stops throughout in an effort to raise money for victims of the Rikti Invasion and the Shivan attack in Galaxy City. Would Know - strangely, Canadienne has also made an appearance in Paragon City again, after initial reports she was seen in Montreal. The connection with the band is still not made.

Hooks (as Dominique)

Several concert posters are spread throughout Paragon City promoting the new Seven Years of Blood album, Resist

Donations to local food banks are made by band members

Dom is often seen at Pocket D, meeting people and making connections through music

Dom is known as a bit of a hot head and is ready to “drop the gloves” whenever someone has slighted one of her friends. At the age of 34, however, that has calmed down a tad. She’s still willing to have a donnybrook, though, don’t get me wrong.

Hooks (as Canadienne)

Most authorities see her as a wanted criminal

More a vigilante than a hero the likes of Statesman or the Freedom Corps

Fights dirty

Has apprehended as many Skulls and Hellions as she’s actually helped. Social workers note that through Canadienne’s actions, there has been a sharp decline in recruitment among the two gangs

Even though she is on the Paragon City Police Department most wanted list, there are cops who trust her and often help her with information (information gathering is a two way street between Canadienne and the cops)

Has been known to actually “save” mid ranking Skulls and Hellions from false arrest and has been seen at times working with the Family when it comes to the more charitable side of the Mafia organization

Availability: evenings and weekends IG; Discord By Request

Looking For: Friends/Allies a wanted vigilante can always use some backup, even when it’s on both sides of the law. Enemies/Rivals: Canadienne has always been more of a Spider-man/Spider-girl like character, so world shaking enemies need not apply. The absolute darkety dark dark villains I’m not a fan of either. Heroes who try stopping Dom, or villains that Dom combats with and sometimes work with is more than welcome. The dynamic of enemies who work together then go back to being antagonists I really love for this character.

Regarding ERP: Not really down for it, as it takes a lot of work and often times gets really dull for me. I’m more action oriented but when in a static RP scene I’d rather chill with friends or rivals and have a few drinks or talk about stuff and things. Besides, Dom is married and has a loving wife.

As she promiced to investigate the troubles in Morthal, Thradra found the trail would lead to the small cemetery in the hold capital. She remembered the words from Helgi’s ghost that said “she doesn’t come out until dark.” This could only mean one thing, that there was a vampire plaguing this community.

Modding can be a minefield

Holy crap, modding in Oblivion is like walking through a mine field.

Ask three different people a good way to mod and you’ll come up with three different answers. One thing they all would agree on is “don’t use Vortex to install mods and don’t use LOOT to sort your load order.” After that, none of them agree on anything. One would say use Wyrebash. Another says specifically use BAIN. And the third says use OMOD to install mods. At least they would all agree to use BOSS to sort loading.

But the problem is that the one who says use Wyrebash will swear up and down that BAIN and OMOD are useless and don’t use them at all. Then again, you get the same thing when installing mods for Skyrim. Same song and dance, don’t use Vortex (which is actually pretty decent for Skyrim), don’t use LOOT, don’t use this or that, Bodyslide is terrible, so on and so forth.

And I’m not sure if it’s just sad or grossly hilarious that even mentioning you use one mod installer over another to someone that they end up taking a personal offence to you using that mod installer.

But it’s just as bad with mods themselves. When asked about a certain mod, my response always is that they might like it but I didn’t (or that I found it a really good mod but the other person might not).

In the end, it should be use what you like to use and if someone asks, don’t go off on a tangent/rant about why this mod installer/organizer is crap. The question wasn’t “why are these utilities shit” the question was “what would you recommend for installing mods.”

Game Modding

Everyone talks about how the modding community is so very great for Skyrim, but I believe there’s a couple of games which are really missing out in how well they are still curated for mods.

The first is Oblivion. Oblivion still has a vast number of mods being made for it, which is pretty good for a game almost 15 years old. It means there’s a really good fanbase and an excellent modding community still attached to this game.

The other game, albeit not an Elder Scrolls game, is Amnesia: The Dark Descent. There are still a large number of story mods being released for this game, which came out 10 years ago. This September will be the 10th anniversary of Amnesia.

For both of these games, they are incredibly well done and still has an active modding community. Best of all, both are really cheap to buy. Oblivion when I bought it on Steam was only 7 bucks. Amnesia is $21 with the Amnesia Collection (including Dark Descent and A Machine For Pigs) only $40.

As for modding, Nexus has a ton of mods for Oblivion with modders uploading new mods everyday. ModDB has Amnesia story mods and last I checked, the latest one was uploaded 17 minutes ago.

In a world where MMOs have really begun cropping up all over the place, sometimes it’s nice to sit back and play a single player game or two. While Skyrim is great (with it’s obvious moments of weirdness… THANKS BETHESDA!), Oblivion is still an incredible game (I will be posting a comparison of Skyrim and Oblivion in the future with my feelings and opinions on both). Amnesia is also a really great game, and a lot of the story mods being produced are equally incredible (check out Amadeus as a prime example).

HEY! ArenaNet!

Hey! @guildwars2! We need to talk.

We need to especially talk about this.

The moose.

In Guild Wars 2, you are doing the moose a grave disservice.

In GW2, moose are tiny. As per this example with a Moose beside a Norn.

That is a complete misrepresentation of the terrifying cryptids that these monsters really are.

Adult male moose reach a height, at the shoulders, of 2.1 meters tall. That is nearly 7 feet tall. And that’s JUST TO THEIR SHOULDER! Male moose can weigh as much as 700 kilograms. That’s 1534 pounds. BASICALLY OVER A TON!

If a car hits a moose, there is a chance the moose will actually survive while the car (and occupants therein) will not. Your little Ford Fiesta will become a Ford Pancake after hitting a Moose. If you’re lucky, there’s a chance your Chevy Sprint or Pontiac Firefly will be able to bob and weave around the legs of a moose. But if you hit it...
