I love Vocaloid! Why haven't I've draw Miku? It's been 6 years. One of the reasons is that I used to listen to their songs when I was in a bad place in my late teens.

Damn Miku running after the train in Time Machine hits me so hard.

I love this armor so much!

I went from Illusion Assassin to Unstoppable Force. The only drawback with Heavy Armor is speed but Fortify Stamina helped out a ton. Gonna finish the Dawnguard questline and take a break.

Doing Dawnguard and the Main Quest at the same time. Serana was always a nice companion and it's convenient cus' I'm gonna be collecting the Elder Scrolls soon.

Upgraded my gear but I might change the helmet to a hood. Custom enchantments will follow soon.

I definitely had mods for Serana back in the day.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 2d

It annoys me too. It's a massive slog start-to-finish. Not to mention the two dragons that might come out of the frozen lake and the Falmer caverns that's too dark.

Back to my favorite questline! Dawnguard is so cool. A playthrough isn't complete if I don't defeat Harkon.

Working on a new set of gear and leveling up my crafting skills. Your midgame equipment can make or break your playthrough. People play stealth archer to get away with not upgrading gears.

Honestly, I'm just playing Skyrim cus' it's so time efficient. Most quests take at most 30 mins and I can do them at my own pace in any order.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 2d

I've done a couple of no death runs years ago. My modded Necromage Vampire build lasted so long, the only thing that killed was when my mods kept crashing my game so I retired it.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 3d

Skyrim is so satisfying when you finish a build. My Illusion/Assassin build works so well now. I still need the Harmony spell and max out my Sneak and Illusion. I will also transition to One-handed/Conjuration in the late game. You can't sneak around all enemies.

Lockpicking and Pickpocket skills are underwhelming in this game. Even at thief builds, I rarely level them up. I'm decent enough at Lockpicking and I don't pickpocket anyone essential.

I mostly focused on Sneak, Illusion and One-handed this playthrough.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 5d

Let's be honest. Once you get the Skeleton Key, you're never going back to the Thieves Guild. I only finish that questline when my Lockpicking is 100.

I'm doing the College of Winterhold next questline to finish my Illusion Assassin build. Finally got the hang of Magic and Sword builds.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 5d

Heavy Armor in late game is always good even in stealth. I even used it on my 100% run. I still prefer light armor cus' it takes me a while to get Unhindered. Also, I'm roleplaying a hooded character.

New Vegas is so fun!

Just finished The Dark Brotherhood questline in Skyrim. Vanilla Skyrim stealth is still janky, people can detect you while hiding but can't see you in broad daylight. Gonna start the Thieves Guild and Nightingales questline when I get the ancient armors. Maybe upgrade my gear while I'm at it.

There's caveats from pirating, at least in my experience. It ranges from not having the up-to-date version of a game and software, or not running properly. There's also risks of malware and torrents turning your PC in Bitcoin miners.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 7d

The dilemma of buying something expensive or pirating something with consequences. When I get to that point, I have to ask myself, do I really need this or just want it at the moment.

Video games, book and movies.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 8d

Tifa is my favorite until I remember Lightning. And both gets overshadowed when I remember Terra.

I've thought of ways to fill up the current sketchpad I'm working. The pages can be taken of easily so studies with one-to-one measurements has been working out. The gsm is also thick enough for me to replicate some of my favorite artworks on paper. Pencil studies and copies are the way to go

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 8d

I have a lot of stuff that I bought and never use. Like a dozen of sketchbooks and art papers. That would be enough for years of content so I'm not gonna buy anything new until I fill everything.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 8d

You too as well. The more I own, the more it weighs me down so I might as well put value to it.

I was playing Stealth Dagger in Skyrim and I keep getting caught. Chitin Armor is actually heavy which is weird cus the bracers are light.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 9d

Steam wallets work, the game store I go to runs out of it pretty fast. I used to buy games with Paypal so it's a huge blow to my gaming.

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 9d

That sounds like BG3 ;)

xuuikie @xuuikie.bsky.social · 9d

I don't mind paying full price for older and indie games. They pretty much have as much content as the big ones.
