For Christ's sake Derv! Kidding, but seriously, take it easy on yourself ): does eating Gluten-free foods help at all? I know you have Crohn's, and that people with Celiac's eat that stuff, so I don't know if that'll work. Maybe eating home-made food would be easier on the stomach as well instead of eating processed food? Or is this something that strikes you at random?

I stick with a low-fiber, low residue diet and like 90% of all the meals I eat are homemade. I was actually up to 3 meals a day (compare that to 1 the preceding 2.5 months) and had zero issues. Where I can't eat a lot of vegetables because of how high fiber they are, I make up for with vegetable juice, for instance.

The thing is I have never had a bad reaction to a small amount of icecream, and after having a busy and productive day, I figured I'd treat myself and my girlfriend for some of that sweet blizzard action. It actually came as a total surprise it put me down like it did, because as I said, never had a reaction like that before with that food. Ironically, greasy takeout food seems to be one of those things that actually goes down easy, and I am in no hurry to deny myself fried chicken and crappy value menu hamburgers if I get those cravings.

I'm also taking it as a good sign that I totally want to go get Chinese buffett right now, which means I have an appetite again after living off of Ensure, popsicles, some deli cuts, and a shitload of juice the past 3 days. I'm going to fry up some eggs for dinner and see how that goes, and maybe get some peanut butter and crackers going.

Big problem I'm facing right now is my body's immune system is neigh obliterated from the medication I'm on, so if I get hit with pain (usually caused by eating something too heavy or one of the arm-length lists of foods I need to avoid), and fortunately, gluten is totally fair game, because as fun as the idea of going on a nearly total carnivore diet would be, variety is nice.

Wow, I had no idea that Crohn's affected you in that way. Though I'm glad you're not exempt from greasy foods, as I do enjoy them myself! I would be living in a total hell, if I couldn't eat what I wanted ): Yes please go to that buffet, and eat all the Chinese food for me :D As I do love that too (particularly lo mein noodles). I'm also glad that gluten is good game for you as well (: there are several people I know that suffer from Celiac's, and it's been a struggle for them to find food, until recently, gluten-free. Even when I worked in a sandwich shop, we took extra precautions for people with that food disorder, as we knew how it could upset their stomach.

I have heard of the Paleo diet, now, I'm not sure if that would work for you either in your circumstances. How long have you had Crohn's?

Baaaasically, my body thinks that parts of my digestive tract are invading pathogens and periodically declare the Blitziest of Kriegs when it thinks the affected tissues are doing some Zerg Creep all up in my small intestine. This ends of blocking off parts of my digestive tract, so the body tries to compensate by making other passages to get around that nonsense, all the while I have a large amount of infected fat that formed and is like "lololololcrushingyourguts", which is part of the reason I need the surgery. I should point out I'm at a healthy body weight and my previous medication failed, so that's probably a side effect of that thing, which the doctors flat out said they're taking me off of because they think it would have eventually out and out killed me, which tends to put a damper on anyone's day. Right now, I'm scheduling appointments with various specialists and prepping for a surgery, which will hopefully get rid of all the nasty shit without taking too much, because I really don't want to live my life with a colostomy bag.

Man, I feel bad for people with Celiac's. My dietary restrictions suck, but I've been dealing with them for nearly 10 years and I don't really miss much of the food I don't eat anymore (except for Mini Wheats, I goddamn loved Mini Wheats). Looking at the Gluten-Free menus in restaurants and seeing the abysmally small sections in grocery stores, that's the worst.

I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. It's the events leading up to and during Morrowind if everyone were on Facebook.

Wisdom of the ages.

Speaking of Morrowind

Oh dear god why does the Imperial Legion questline start you in Gnisis I'm getting killed in three hits two steps into these caves oh god I only have 61 health why did I jump into this questline at level 1 Akatosh please help me

Also, brittle chitin swords>full metal imperial steel cuirass according to Morrowind

Okay, I'm done, carry on.

@Frizan I... totally ignored the plot when playing Morrowind. I just started looting and killing things.

I did the same with my first character(well, the first one I got past level three with...). I joined the Thieves Guild, did some jobs sure, but I mainly ran around and explored all of Morrowind's long deep holes. I ended my "thief" character wearing the Savior's Hide, glass leggings/helmet, and I was chopping bitches up with a daedric dai-katana.

Never actually sneaked much...at all. Besides most enemies don't have patrol paths and they're usually placed in a way that they're staring right at you when you enter Bandit Hobbit Hole #498 and the pickpocket skill is broke as fuck, yo. Literally impossible to be successful without a code patch.

Yeah, only I just never bothered with it at all, no matter how many characters I made. I always used spears as much as bows and was more of a B&E thief than a wannabe pickpocket. I never even put any effort into the skill.

Gotta go for the night though, so... signing off.

I remember stumbling onto a Daedric shrine or something which had an artifact in it, some sorta unique shield, and some Daedric weaponry. I sold the shield to the Museum woman in Mournhold, and sold the weapons to the Scamp in Caldera. Then I bought myself a suit of Adamantium armor and an Adamantium spear.

Good times.

I honestly tried to get into Morrowind, but I can't get past the really clunky UI and controls and the animations are really janky. It's really too bad; I love old games, and I still play games like Half-Life and Red Alert 2 on a semi-regular basis.

Watching an enemy swing a warhammer at light speed while my sword barely has enough momentum to split a twig is always funny(read: Fucking annoying. QUIT CHEATING, MORROWIND)

When my khajiit looks like he's running around like a methed out bunny rabbit and I can barely tell he's poking with his spear, it's hard to get immersed.

That said, I greatly enjoy videos like this:

Yes, it's also very funny -read: annoying- when you clearly hit an enemy in the head with your sword and they keep moving like nothing happened, specially when they are those grave guardians or something that take 80 points out of your carry weigh

I found it particularly... entertaining, when I would put numerous arrows into a netch and somehow they all missed. Requiring the player to put the shot on target before rolling for chance to miss is a very, very obtuse system.

I generally use melee, with a dash if magic, but I can understand your pain. But, yes, like you said Morrowind has a rather obtuse combat system,

Well, it holds up nicely for a 14 year old game. Feels like a prototype VtM Bloodlines somewhat when in combat.

It definitively holds up considering it's age -can't comment on Vt. bloodlines since I've never played it- but if I had to choose the game, only by the merits of it's combat system/systems in general, I'd definitively pass it

PROBABLY won't have internet consistently in 1-2 days, so I'm going to have to work something out. KEEP YOU POSTED.

I'll finishing the E-Pad collab soon. This is the last chance to add in your juicy bits.
