Yeah it looked fine at 1080p here, too.

But I know the gauze effect you're talking about. My videos get it too.

Ten more Thujas planted! I also put in my last order, yes my LAST order, for another batch of ten. After that I'm done - WOOHOO!!!

You know the drill, pics or it didn't happen!

Eh, it's just more Thujas. Doubt it would be too much fun to watch.


Plus, if it didn't happen, that means I don't have to spend more time watering!

Most odd. Continues to look sub par to me. I've since changed OBS settings and get appreciably better quality raw footage. But renders still aren't up to snuff. I'm experimenting with those settings too, but so far haven't found an acceptable solution.

Yet, motor vehicles add a bit of spice. And of course there is freight trucking and passenger buses/trams. What I like to do is find an excuse to scatter homesteads throughout the countryside (thanks to the mod Plop Town Buildings) and set 'em to have a low number of inhabitants. That way there are always vehicles traveling roads. If it gets to be too much I can reset inhabitants on individual houses to NIL and keep 'em for decoration only.

11 Jun 2018 ADDENDUM:
Rats! Began uploading a second TpF ride-along late yesterday evening. Went to bed (the couch) with a bit over two hours to go. Woke this morning to a freak electrical outage with no apparent cause. (Weather's fine.) Naturally, it occurred before the video finished uploading. Lost all that time and work. (Typed out description, tags, so on.) Can't use the internet for anything else while videos upload (slow as molasses) so don't know that I'll tackle it again unlit this evening prior to bedtime, at the soonest.

Still not thrilled by the rendered quality of this second ride-along, but it's markedly better than the first. Question is, how will it survive YouTube processing? That's what did in the first episode. Up until then I deemed it barely adequate if watchable.

Not much of a day project wise....what's new?

The disappointing news is that I've stopped doing those dumbbell exercises and sit ups started several weeks ago. Started getting pain in my elbow and wrist joints and ankles. My rump is now killing me, which it hasn't done in quite some time. Maybe I'm being told no more exercise this lifetime? On a positive note, my exercise-walks continue. In fact I feel as if I'm walking at a faster pace and have more energy throughout their duration.

Realized I can now add custom thumbnails to my old YouTube Oblivion videos, which wasn't the case when I uploaded 'em years ago. Did so this morning.

Am making another attempt at uploading my second Transport Fever ride-along. Hope no freak power outage occurs this time. At my upload speed, it takes a LONG time for even videos as short as mine. I was SO close to completion when power unexpectedly cut out last night. YouTube tells me I had "only" 47 minutes left to go. No option to continue where I left off so much start afresh, which I have. I hope visual quality is better time time round. We shall see.

Bah! Woke around 0330 and putzed around on the net through breakfast (0500). At the tail end of breakfast, down to about two swallows of milk.....POOF.....no electricity. Reported it to Entergy. Was told 740ish were affected in my area. Estimated back in service 0800. About 0735 Entergy calls saying new estimate is 1000. Thankfully, it came back on several minutes before 0900. No idea what happened. Weather's fine, if hot and muggy. (Entergy called while writing this. Reason is "damage to Entery's equipment." Well duh.)

Speaking of which, due to the outage I walked even earlier than usual, leaving the house around 0600. Good thing I did. According to a weather report I saw prior to the outage, by then it was in the mid seventies with a "feels like" in the mid-high eighties. The walk went well enough though I didn't feel as energized as it days past.

Meant to mow the lawn circa 1900 yesterday evening. As a reminded I donned my mowing gear at the end of supper and killed time playing Transport Fever. Next time I remembered to check the clock it was 1948. I might have postponed until today but wanted to get it over with, as much as I could mow before it became too dark. Had a setback early on when the mower choked on excessive grass and took a long time restarting. As it turns out I was able to get it all done, though near the end it became hard to tell cut from uncut in some spots.

During today's outage I did some little projects. Got rid of a bunch of out of date "current medication" lists. Dug out my Logitech MX518 packaging and put the mouse and its booklet back in it in preparation for giving it to Goodwill or maybe a local school computer class. (I've a bunch of obsolete gear ready to do the same with. Only I never remember to do so when out and about.) Put an old landline phone in the Goodwill stack. Threw out some cardboard shipping boxes that have been cluttering the kitchen for ages.

Gaming wise, this morning's project is supposed to be fixing a too bumpy roadway junction in Transport Fever, if I can do so without having to redo a lot of intricate scenery. Due to the outage I might not mess with that until afternoon.

Addendum: Fixed that road bumpy junction. Wasn't as difficult as expected. However, while testing it riding in a truck I found LOTS of floating assets roadside, mostly with the scenery I added yesterday but a few in older areas. Most are gonna be tricky to fix, a few might be impossible. We shall see.

Project Thuja complete!


Yes indeedily! I have today planted the last ten Thujas and I must say I'm pretty happy about them! They will look great when they grow nice and tall, provided we'll see any [censored] rain between now and eternity.




snassin' frassin...

Can you toggle clipping and take an areal shot of them?






Really good you got your walking in early with humidity like that! Acadian does his walking at daybreak to avoid the desert heat, but he doesn't get the humidity you do. And that outage sounds suspiciously like old equipment trying to handle a bunch of air conditioners running at once to me, lol.

I can prolly take an angled shot and get most of them in frame. There are 54 of the blighters, though...

Today's projects, discounting an early morning walk, involved Transport Fever. Worked on what will be EP3 of my blurry Scenic Ride-Along YouTube series. This one's a truck ride of all things. Originally planned to "film" the scenic portion of my Steel Mill to Construction Materials Rail Hub rail line. Got a bit burned out adding one faux crop field or logging operation after another. On a whim, decided to relax riding a truck delivering Iron Ore from a mine high in hills near Kidderminster to the Eastleigh Iron Mine Rail Station Truck Terminal. Scenery along that route was rather interesting, despite a number of floaters. Decided to fix those floaters and film the ride. It's now in final editing. Should be able to upload it as early as tomorrow. By my standards it's super long, over 15min. Gonna take forever to upload, slow as my connection is. I'll start the upload at the end of the day and hope it's finished when I return to the PC next morning.

Otherwise it's same old same old. Create fields, orchards and woodland, lay roads, plop down farmsteads and gas stations. Rinse and repeat.

Miserably night, bleeding into morning. Due to my brother not visiting a couple of Sundays and and not staying the night several Sundays he did visit, I've not needed to sleep in bed over a month. Last night ended that fortunate streak, with him staying overnight and sleeping on the couch. Was forced to use my bed. What a nasty experience. Within minutes pain developed in my neck, upper-mid back and the hip I rested on. Got worse the longer I lay abed. Sleep was impossible. At some point after midnight I retrieved a bed topper not in use and added it to two already on the bed. That moved mid-upper back pain to lower back, but otherwise made little to no noticeable difference. By now I had had a headache quite some time. Around 0245 I added yet another not in use topper to the stack, giving me 8" of padding above the mattress. This last addition eased hip and back pain but didn't much affect neck pain. Still, it proved enough to let me get in a bit of sleep before my brother woke me for my 0500 breakfast. Head still ached (and continues to). Neck remains rather painful. Am groggy as all get-out. A long shower right after today's exercise-walk didn't help in the least. Got in my weekly grocery run earlier in the day than usual to avoid heat. Have been back long enough to put away groceries, change into comfy clothes, log expenses in my PC account ledger, and type this.

Had I my wits about me I might have taken a powerful prescription sleeping pill before retiring last night. But no. I thought about it, but decided not to to avoid being groggy today. Poor decision as it turns out.

No idea what sort of projects, if any, I might tackle today. If my head continues to ache and I remain groggy I'll likely vegetate in front the PC.

Aww sorry you had a bad night D.

You and me both! I was expecting a rough night, but not THAT rough. Still super groggy. The one development worth reporting is that at some point my headache shifted to the right side. I suspected that might happen if the ache didn't clear soon enough. Took a migraine episode ender soon as it became certain that's what was happening. Because I'd had the headache so long by then, and the shift likely started before I realized it, the medicine was not as efficient as usual. Normally, one pill knocks out an attach within 45min-1hr. Took a good bit longer today. Only within that past 45min or so has behind-the-right-eye-socket centered pain sufficiently lessened. Some remains. I have hopes it too vanishes before long. We shall see.

As suspected, I've done little but mope at the PC desk since returning from my weekly grocery run. Read a while on the sofa while ago and believe I napped a bit. Tried to play Transport Fever after lunch but it was hopeless. About all I was able to do was ride one of my freight trains, and nodded off in my PC chair much of the trip.

Still thinking to upload EP3 of my TpF ride-along series overnight tonight, but much will depend on what I feel like at day's end. Speaking of which. I discovered yesterday before my woes began that viewing my YouTube TpF ride-along videos at 1080p in theatre mode rather than full screen makes blurring introduced by YT processing less objectionable. Not an ideal solution by any means, but a possible lesser of evils. I can of course simply watch the Video Editor renderings on my hard drive, which are far sharper. Or my raw footage, which is sharper still. Either of those is perfectly fine seen full screen.

Well glad that you are feeling a little better, at least.

Made this little diagram for my church for 4th of July and Veteran's Day.

You poor thing! You really need a new mattress on that bed, that is the only thing that might make it livable. I'm actually going through the same thing. My fantastically comfortable mattress got moldy in storage and I had to throw it away. My son got himself a new bed and gave me his old one, and it absolutely sucks. It is so uncomfortable that I've done what you have = built a mountain of toppers folded on top of it trying to compensate. I am hoping to find a new bed that suits me, but so far no luck.






Nice!

Thanks...I wish I had a 'MERICA flag but I think that was lost through time.

Also I can't remember if I posted this old silly movie here but I'll post again: https://youtu.be/0_WWNhv6EvI

OMG. this is fantastic!!! Awesome editing, and I don't know how you did the figures to make them move! I love this!

Thanks...Thankfully the figures I used have multi-part articulation and the whole thing took many, many, many shots. I would continue but I don't have the right recording set up.IF I where to continue the second act would have Adrian leaving Summerset Isles with some Redguards followed by a Wing Twilight, Queen Ayrenn meeting with Abnur Tharn who in turned has a Dark Brotherhood Assassin kill her. Then Adrian meets back up with Vaz who leads them to General Talos and King Cuhlecain who heading out to find the Amulet of Kings in Sancre Tor where its given to General Talos who is blessed by Akatosh to be the true ruler of Tamriel but the gets taken by King Cuhlecain and decides to name himself Emperor and will preform the Spell Binding Ritual that night.
Later while the King's drunk in his chamber the DB Assassin waits in shadows just as General Talos enters the chambers and has a talk with the King. As the two argue over who's the real ruler Talos uses his Thuum to neutralize Cuhlecain then slits his throat killing him. Just then Adrian enters and spots the assassin who then jumps out the window and flees. In that moment Talos slits his throat but just enough to barely bleeds but losses his ability to use his thuum.

Afterwords a healed Talos (thanks to Adrian) and his army storm the Imperial Palace, Mannimarco abandons Tharn who is dethroned and killed by Talos who then changes his name to Tiber Septim. Adrian chases after Marco but looses him.

Act Three: We begin with Adrian in a bar in Suran on Vvardenfell reading Talos/Tiber Septim letter telling him about his anointing and gives Adrian rumors to Mannimarco's possible location somewhere on the Morrowind's mainland and that he's wanted by the Dominion now going by the name The Thalmor. As Adrian and Lena the Gold Saint leave the bar Lena stops and Adrian realizes her time with him is up and she gets her one and only line "It's been an honor." As she hugs him vanishes back to Moonshadow Adrian is ambushed in the same spot as Umbra the orc is in TES 3 by Le'Anna who betrays him and has her army shot Adrian with a volley of arrows killing him. As she tearfully says farewell and it was never meant to be for them. Azura stands over Adrian's body and retrieves the jewel that she gave Adrian which changes into a fully powered up Star (basically Adrian DID indeed have Azura's Star). Her Gold Saint Ay'lah ask what she's going to do with her star and the sword Adrian had to which we see an orc walking towards them. There she gives the sword to the orc and give it the name Umbra (Adrian's Last name) and she uses the Star's power to heal Adrian's fatal wounds then teleport him to the Imperial Dungeons in Cyrodill in 3E 399 where he wakes up to the voice of Ria Silmane setting in motion the events of TES 1: Arena.

Oh, that would be Awesome!!! I love the early lore of this game; really wish they would re-master the early games so we could play them in today's graphics!

I just installed a heavily modded Morrowind. It looks fabulous.

Doh!!!!!! Started my TpF ride-along EP3 YouTube upload at 2000 yesterday evening. Uploaded a custom thumbnail, added description and gave it a LOT of tags. Knew upload would take forever so hit the sack circe 2100. Woke circa 0315. Upload/processing was almost done, about five minutes to go. Then I noticed a red YOU'RE VIDEO IS TOO LONG indication. What the....? I went through the process of verifying my YT account some months ago, right before submitting my two Mashinky videos. That's supposed to allow uploads of more than 15min, monetized or not. Checked my YT account details page this morning after noticing the flag. Yup, long videos is enabled. Nor do I have any strikes against my account. Yet my 15:15 upload can't be published and is only available privately, at an unwatchable 360 resolution. Not sure what to do. I SHOULD be able to publish the video. I can of course re-edit to bring it just under the 15min mark. But a new upload eats well over 2g of my monthly data limit, and ties up internet use another seven-plus hours. Dang it, I was looking forward to getting the video online, and yesterday evening was an ideal time to do so with my feeling too crappy to want to do anything beyond getting in a decent night sleep.

Wow, some creative stuff in here!

Hope you enjoy your 'new' Morrowind, Saki!

Thanks. I tried to keep my "movie" as close to lore as I can or at least take liberties with it but still maintain respect to the lore.

*Applause* I like that a lot. I always preferred stories that were built on the original Lore, especially if in places the interpretation of events might be seen from a unique perspective = to me that always made it more interesting to see the different ways other people might interpret the same information or use it in their stories.

Nice !!!







I'll bet SubRosa will know what caused that error to throw, but it may be your upload speed causing the error message. The forum for that site might have tips on what to do if this happens, try Googling the issue before giving up.

Thanks for the input. Turns out the video length "problem" was nothing more than a misinterpretation on my part. When YT flagged my title as being too long, as assumed "title" meant the video as a whole, as this one DOES, or did, exceed the 15min mark. My first YT upload to do so. In the end I reluctantly deleted the upload, edited my local copy down to 14m55s, and re uploaded. At the very end of the second upload WHAM...hit with it being too long again. At that point I began to question myself. Rethinking what YT's message actually said, I deleted part of the video's title. Sure enough, the flag disappeared. DOH!!!!!! Redid title to fit within YT's limit and all's well. Discounting my tying up the internet another 8ish hours and eating up another 2gb of my monthly data cap, that is. Can't be mad about it as I've no one to blame but myself.

This episode is appreciably less blurry than its two predecessors. Likely coz trucks move more slowly than your average train, and there are no fast moving railroad ties to process. It's not blur free by any means. But more so than EP1 and 2 it can be watched at 1080p full-screen.

Here it is: Transport Fever Scenic Ride Along ep3 - Kidderminster Iron Mine to Eastleigh Iron Mine Rail Station Truck Terminal and Back Again. (My original title, the one YT says is too long.)

I never even heard of this game before, I love how you were able to determine the year model fo the vehicles on the road to keep that feeling of it being an earlier era - really like how natural a lot of it looked. Does the train just show up if you lay tracks down? Also loved the muddy water canal, nice touch! I really don't know how this game works, like how much of the buildings along the route you did (or all?) = but you did a fantastic job of making it look realistic! Also - definitely liked the contrast of the "sand" under the trees on the right side, it really did add a nice touch. Nice vid!





WOO HOO! While there watching your "Transport" vid I took the opportunity to watch your Oblivion vids again! LOVE those Oblivion vids, they are my favorite gameplay vids EVAH!

Absolutely LOVE the banter between your Decrepit avatar and Vilja! When you were in sneak and using the bow and she charged up the hill it had me in hysterics! LOVE these vids you made !!!!!

By the way, the 04 vid has lost its link to start playing; it goes 01,02,03, and then goes on to someone else's vids. You might have to get on 03 and re-order it to be followed by 04.

TpF is quite popular, especially among the European crowd. In the few hours since posting my video eleven other TpF uploads have appeared, only one of which is English language.

How much of what is seen is mine, or rather modded? Good question. I'd say a good 98% is placed by me. As for game placed scenery, the road the episode begins and ends on is a game placed, though I upgraded it to a four-lane highway and might have slightly altered its course. Likely a few isolated stretches of roadway elsewhere are the game's, though again I likely tampered with their pathing to fit my scenic concept. We see a brief glimpse of the "major" city of Eastleigh off in the distance. That's more or less totally game placed We get brief glimpses of iron and coal mines. Those are game placed and can't be moved. Even with those I've added a lot of scenic details. Cars traveling the roads are game controlled, though I can and do to an extent control how congested traffic is. Delivery Trucks and Buses are provided by the game, but I create their routes, number, path and so on. Pretty much all else you see are my additions via mods. Fields, orchards, farmsteads, gas stops, logging camps, roads, the two villages, most of the woodland and hedge rows are placed by me. (TpF does place some farmland of its own, but not in the area we travel through. Likewise it places clumps of woodland throughout the map, some rather large. We might encounter some of that along the way, but most trees and shrubs seen will have been placed by me.)

You'll need to be more specific on the "muddy water canal." I suspect what you see is not a canal at all but an affect of YT's video blurrying. Leastwise I have no remembrance of placing a water canal.

Trains appear only after track and stations are placed, a "line" is created between two or more stations, and a loco and appropriate rail cars are bought and assigned to said "line." Trucks and buses work the same way, substituting roads for tracks.

Funny, I watched two of my four Oblivion episodes not long ago when providing them with classier YouTube thumbnails. As usual I did NOT watch ep1. I don't think it's a bad video. I simply don't consider it on par with later episodes, 3 and 4 in particular. Watching ep1 makes me regret having lost its video project work file, from which I might have been able to improve it. I think I still all the original raw files associated with the project, but not the file that ties them all together. Having to do that all over from scratch is more than I want to handle any more.


Yikes. Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely look in the ep04 SNAFU. By your description I assume the problem is with the Playlist, not clicking an individual title on the Videos page/

The canal shows up on the left of the roadway right around 3:19 and is alongside the road for a while, then I think you turn away from it because it stopped shortly thereafter. I grew up near the "Barge Canal" in New York, and it looked a lot like that, especially after a good rain = muddy!

** Oh, I didn't have any problems viewing 04 by clicking on it, but it didn't automatically play following 03 on your playlist (the other ones play automatically one right after another).

Know how I said this diagram was finished? Well NOW it's finished!

Watched the TpF video again via my sharp local copy. Is the color of the "mud canal" you see sort of gold-yellow?
At the time you specify, the truck has just entered a stretch of roadway with what Painter terms "wheat" to the left. (I've always thought of it as "golden wheat" even back when it carried only a numeric designation.) YT processing blurs it, which does give that field a somewhat "wet" look. Or am I way off the mark.

I removed my fourth Oblivion video, which for some reason was positioned above episode three, from its playlist and re-added it. It "should" be in its proper position now. Hopefully that'll fix the issue. As to some other video playing, you likely have AUTOPLAY on? Man do I detest autoplay with a passion. (Much soap-boxing deleted.)

Feel somewhat better now, not enough so for anything but must-do projects, of which I have none at the moment. Had I my wits about me I might have mowed late yesterday afternoon. (It rained during the evening.) We've now storms and or rain forecast for the next some days. The lawn might be over tall next chance I get. To be fair, due to a dry spell the lawn most definitely does NOT need mowing at the moment.

Played a little TpF right before bedtime yesterday. Added a fourth terminal to the map's main Steel Mill Rail Station. Have mixed feelings about it. Looks wise, I prefer a three terminal station. The extra terminal gives steel and slag their own separate terminals, doubling storage capacity for outgoing products. That won out in the end. But I don't have to like it.

Subconsciously during the night I came up with a way to somewhat improve scenic detailing lost during initial station expansion. Implemented it between breakfast and my exercise-walk. Happier with the change now, but prefer the old setup. I've not fully "sceniced" the area around the Steel Mill. Doing so will hopefully make things better yet. Problem is, there are limitations to roadway access to parts of that area I've yet to figured out how to overcome in a scenically appealing manner.

Really nice little setup there, Reaper

WOO HOO! Great Job!!!

Wheat? But it is lower than the land around it! Oh well, I will bow to Painter! I liked it, but did think it was a muddy canal or river there, lol.

Dang it! I've known what ep4 of my TpF Scenic Ride-Along series will be since before putting together ep3. After a few mediocre attempts I captured a halfway decent clip of what will become the video's main section. But I also need good videos of the train arriving and departing the map's Construction Materials Hub Rail Station. I think I've filmed that 15-20 times and never get footage that pleases me. It's odd. That station is usually super busy. Yet every time I ride a train into it with the camera rolling it's dead. Maybe one other train will appear. If a couple materialize going one way, then none appear going the other. Then just prior to tonight's supper I nailed it. Plenty of train action coming and going. Shut the game down to see how raw footage looked...to discover I forgot to launch OBS. What's more, I saved the game just before exiting, so can't backtrack to capture that same arrival/departure again. Also lost out on a third-person train highlight clip, but that can be easily redone.

This was lawn mow night. Went well. The mower behaved itself and I wasn't overtaxed. Heart reading almost immediately afterward: Blood Pressure 104/60, pulse 84. Not bad under the circumstances. In fact pressure is about where it reads when taken at rest...assuming I'm not in the midst of one of my lung/chest episodes.

BP that low would concern me. :/

Well, that is kind of frightening since your BP should have been elevated by the exercise of mowing!

As to blood pressure, I've read numerous times that lowish pressure is no big deal (unlike high pressure) so long as it causes no averse symptoms, and I tent to feel my pathetic best within my "normal" BP range. I typed in "low blood pressure" just now and selected an article at random. Here's what it says:

"Hypotension is low blood pressure, especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. A systolic blood pressure of less than 90 millimeters of mercury or diastolic of less than 60 mm Hg is generally considered to be hypotension. However, in practice, blood pressure is considered too low only if noticeable symptoms are present."

Not saying BP below a certain reading isn't cause for worry. I can have brief drops that are scary even to me. But my "normal" readings seem to cause no issues, and my cardiologist continues to stress that I have a "strong heart."

Thanks for your concern in this regard.

Whew! *mALX wipes brow...*

Bf has hypotension.

He sometimes falls down in bed if he tries to get up to fast.

Just need to be careful sometimes. *nods*

I had an instance of that maybe one to two months ago during a period of feeling crappy. Was lying on the sofa reading and/or napping, likely a bit of both. Decided to get up for whatever reason. Partway to my feet my knees/legs simply turned to mush. Down I went. Landed on the sofa, on top of a wadded blanket. Lots of soft cushioning so no harm done. Tried again. Knees were quite wobbly but managed to stand and go about my business. As said, I wasn't feeling well at the time and associated the collapse with whatever else was going on with me. This far removed I no longer recall what that was.

The alarming thing about it to me at the time was that it was totally unexpected. That sort of thing is almost unique for me. I decided to consider it a one-off unless it reoccurred again.

On more mundane matters, daily exercise-walks continue uninterrupted. Needed to carry an umbrella some days. Used it once. Doesn't phase me unless rain is too heavy or it's stormy. Don't dare go out days like that. Worry it might trigger a relapse of more frequent/severe chest/lung flareups, as happened in 2014 following a severe local wind storm. I was dumb enough to spend an hour-and-a-half policing my yard too soon afterward, in a light drizzle without adequate protection. That's when I began needing daily medicated inhaler treatments and once monthly 10-day antibiotic treatment that continue to this day. I ramble.

Finished rendering what looks to be the basic draft of what will be ep4 of my Transport Fever Scenic Ride-Along series. Last thing done before the render...remove all but a stub of boring travel though a section of track surrounded with nothing but dense woodland. That tends to get old after a while, for me at least. There'll be enough of that in this episode even with the cut. Might shorten a few tunnels too. We shall see. Still need to add text commentary. That'll likely take days, assuming I work on it diligently.

Sounds like fun.

I miss making videos but I cant do it til Skyrim stops stuttering on me. Still trying to figure that one out.

Heh...your channel has even fewer vids than mine, though that wasn't the case as recently as three months ago. Know what ya mean. My former primary PC sported a capture card with dedicated hardware chip that took the strain off the CPU while recording. That's the theory. In reality, I still endured occasional motion weirdness filming Oblivion. The card misbehaved, finally trashing my Windows installation beyond recovery. Yanked the card before installing Windows from scratch. That was the end of my non existent YouTube career for some some years. Only three months ago did I return to the fray, first with Mashinky vids, now Transport Fever. Gotta keep mine short due to craptastic upload speeds. My longest is 15min, which took eight hours plus. My connect back when those Oblivion vids were uploaded was even slower.

On other matters, I just received email from 23andMe. They have a new report for me. It's on what genetics say about my daily rise time. According to them, my genes put me solidly in the "morning person" camp, which is 100% correct. Further, they say people with my genetic traits at my age tend to wake on their own circa 0647. Don't I wish!!!!! That's three to four hours past when I tend to wake, barring having taken a sleeping pill the night before or some other abnormality. I'd love to be able to "sleep in" later than I do. Even so, I can't see any reason for wanting to sleep past 0500. But again I'm a morning person. (I turn into a pumpkin around 1900.)

Ah pumpkining. My wow guild leader does that around midnight and is where I first heard the saying.

My problem with Skyrim is after about half hour to an hour it starts stuttering bad. Trying to figure out if mod conflict, graphical overload or melting GPU. If I restart the game the stuttering goes away for another 30-60 minutes.

I feel you on upload speed. I'm on DSL and it can take all night to upload a video. Most of mine are 30-60 minutes. I tried to keep them down around the half hour mark though.

Kinda wanna do an rp run.

Oops...I just noticed your YT vids continue on past what's visible when the page first loads. You still have me beat, as if that matters. I doubt I'll catch up as I'm almost out of well "scenerized" train/vehicle routes to film. Due to poor routing and station placement plus sometimes inept track laying most of the map isn't worth adding detailed scenery to. Not unless I nuke much of what's there and rebuild from the ground up. That's a massive undertaking at this stage, more than I'm willing to commit to...for now at least. I sometimes fix, or attempt to fix, isolated SNAFUs that seem relatively easy to correct (or improve). For the most part it's pretty complex stuff. At some point I'll take what I learn this map, my first, and start afresh. I've much yet to learn before then. Besides, I sort of like my map, warts and all. Train and vehicle routes get from point A to B without too much hassle, If only I could run decently long freight trains I'd be more satisfied. That's where poor planning and execution are most noticeable.

ADDENDUM:
Doh! I went off on a tangent again and forgot the main reason I started this reply, to mention that what might well be the posting render of TpF Scenic Ride-Along ep4 is in the can and ready to go. Assuming I don't add more text commentary. Except at certain times I keep text fairly infrequent this episode. It's days early, so I've plenty of time to think it over before uploading.

Khajiit likes carving jack-o-lanterns into pumpkins!!
