anyway aside from that i ben doing ok,,, well i mean, my health is been doing some garbage fr a few months,,, but i got into a few new things that i like so that’s fun~ one of the things i got into actually has sent me on a ‘domino effect’ type path where i:
wanted 2 draw a character from the thing but couldn’t rlly figure out their face or haircut so i decided 2 make them in skyrim for reference
then i started actually having fun playing again
an remembered moding was a thing (n a big part of why i got this game) an that i’m still v interested in learning about it
started looking into how 2 do things like replacing voice line sound files bc i hate something a certain character says but there r still no mods that fix it yet
realized if i could replace voice audio, then i could replace other sound effects, an i could make the dragons stop sounding like elephants, bc it’s always been super immersion breaking n disappointing fr me (literally The FIRST Dragon u meet in the VERY BEGINNING of the game, sounds like just a elephant, w/ like 2 effects lazily added maybe,,, some of the sounds r ok but fr the most part like, i’m sorry alduin i kno ur supposed 2b The Most Powerful Dragon In Existence or w/e but, in ur heart of hearts, ur just a elephant that looks like a dragon :/ )
i started messing around w/ editing / enhancing some of those (extremely elephant sounding) dragon sounds an was p happy w/ what i could get just messing w/ the dragon sounds themselves, not even adding other sounds in~ (i also accidentally saved wrong n lost like 2 hours of work on that bc i was sleepy)
started thinking abt what kinda sounds i could make just using my mp3 players microphone 2 record myself n other sounds (but i haven’t seen my mp3 player in months so it doesn’t rlly matter rn,,,)
thought abt where else i could get sounds from an realized that i still have my electric piano keyboard thing and i could probably connect it 2 my computer an make music w/ it like i always wanted (like that’s the whole reason i got it in the first place)
so i looked into it n found out it’s possible 2 do that w/ just an aux cord + audacity (a free sound editing software i’ve had fr a couple months)
it’s all a lotta stuff 2b excited about all at once an it’s p fun! i’m real excited ~~~
,,,only thing that’d make it better is finding my mp3 player or getting a digital recorder or something so i cn get my own sounds 2 mess with
