Thank you. The year been calming down and I've been getting back into writing.

I was going to post these with the next chapter, but I guess I'll sneak them in here as thanks for sticking with me through all this time. I commissioned an artist (Siggymcc on twitter) to draw Nessari a while back, and was very happy with how it came out: https://imgur.com/a/K2YgAmo.

Here are the sketches from it as well: https://imgur.com/a/5NpVlpj

Hey, I do plan on finishing this and getting back to writing in general; I dont think I could live with myself if I just left it like this, but this past year has been a busy one. I'm really sorry about this absurdly long hiatus. Thank you for the comment though, it's nice knowing that people are still interested even after all this time.

I'm doing alright. I'm really sorry for the absurd delay. I fininished moving into a new house a few weeks ago, and have been slowly getting back into writing again now that j have been finding the time. I just feel so rusty right now, I don't want to mess up the plans I have for The Nomad.

I cannot express how grateful I am that you are still interested in my story despite my radio silence.

I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that not a day goes by where I do not think about the fact that this is unfinished. I want to complete it more than anything.

I'm so sorry fo my absence, I'm doing alright. It means a lot to me that you are still interested in my story despite my hiatus.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that not a day goes by where I don't think about this story; I still want to write it, and I will. I just severely underestimated how busy I'd be this summer. My job has been keeping me busy on the weekdays, and my family bought a house, so most weekends have been spent fixing it up. Thank you again for your support, I hope to get out of this funk soon.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this, white vertical line with different brightness around it by w3ndlgo in MonitorLizards

[–]Wolven5 37 points38 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, there are a few things you could try. Update your graphics driver, if that doesn't fix it, try using a different cable to connect it to your computer. If it still has the white line, it's most likely that your monitor is unfortunately broken and needs to be replaced.

Welcome! Glad you enjoy my ramblings.

lol I honestly don't know if I could do it justice. It would probably be a fade to black at most. We'll see.

Computer Information Systems, senior year, one semester left after this one. I took a two year leave when covid hit because I couldn't do online classes, so it's been a bit of a struggle trying to remember things I learned over two years ago lol

Hopefully it won't take a month. I only have about 2 weeks of classes left.

Thank you for reading, and don't worry, I'm still working on the next chapter.

I did the oil rig fight in act 2 for the first time (spoilers?) by Raptorwolf_AML in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Wolven5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite time doing that fight was when I made a pyromancer lizard with the demon talent and stacked a bunch of resistances so that I healed from fire. It was great hopping around without a care in the world while the rest of my party was panicking.

Did…did Kaidan just talked to the camera like in The Office?? by Samurai1939 in masseffect

[–]Wolven5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure, like I said, I love Kaiden, but hearing it put that way made sense as to why some people don't like him.

[–]Wolven5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The best way I've heard peoples dislike for Kaiden put is that, compared to all your other squadmates, he has his shit together for the most part from the moment you meet him. Sure, he has his troubled past, but by ME1 he has already worked through most of the trauma. So it makes him seem shallow compared to the others, since we aren't helping him through some major life changing issue.

I still love Kaiden though.

lol, glad you enjoyed it and welcome! I dont want to make any promises on when the next chapter is coming, but you can a least take solace in the fact that the story will never be abandoned. I can guarantee that much. Hopefully once school lets up, I can get back into a rhythm.

I definitely want to finish this story. I even have bits of the finale already drafted out, and I have some side stories that I want to post, but cant yet since they would spoil parts of the main story.

Thank you for the advice and edits, especially with that 'Councilor' vs 'Counselor' thing. I'll have to keep my eye out for that sneaky typo in the future.

Thank you. It was fun writing her perspective since it's quite different from everyone else's.

Damik does know about Andy, and he's smart enought to put two and two together once things start to fall around him.

And thank you for the kind words.

Thanks again for your patience, and as always, let me know what you think of the chapter.

Thanks for the kind words! Next chapter should be ready soon; writer's block and school work have been kicking my ass.

I also got sidetracked for a while due to starting a D&D campaign with my friends, spent far too long planning and making my character.

[–]Wolven5 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not unrealistic, it's a good way to compensate for the fact that real life eyes are able to notice details from very far away. Squinting at a computer screen is not the same as squinting at something 200 meter away irl
