Eggbug was here. Eggbug mattered.

Goblin Party @ My Brain 24/7 | A week shy of 33 before Cohost closed. Cis, ACAB forever, Trans Rights Are Human Rights forever.

RIP Cohost 2024. You were the best social media site to have ever been done. Long live eggbug. If you're seeing this in the future, on some archive, be kind to others. It's the only way things get better.

Links in bio.



If I could just like, attach reference notes to everything, that'd be greaaaaaaat. just like, telepathic ghost post-its - ghost-its - but searchable and centrally manageable. Documentation is both the savior and bane of my existence; solution to, and cause of, (almost) all life's problems.

(This user wants to play Morrowind again. He does not remember the current state of his most recent modding attempt. He does not want to do the modding again right now.)


Plus there's the issue of wanting to do more documentation as I go, but that genuinely doubles the time it takes to do the task, and then there's the expiry rate of that documentation; the longer the project goes, the more total time spent on documentation is ultimately wasted, as only a sufficient-but-undefined end portion and a summary is needed.

I have been trying to get better at renaming the mod files I use as I go so that it's much clearer what a thing is and what it does just from the Mod Organizer 2 entry; makes it much easier to come back after it's left my mind, but it's never quite enough. Too many steps occur outside of that UI; mods repackaged with updates, personal fixes and such. Never so simple as to download an update for the mod, then play.

Sigh.

One day.

A lot of people swear by Obsidian for their personal documentation storage solution and it's gorgeous. I'd probably use it except I'm already using Google Keep and loving that for reducing the amount of effort it takes to make a note and find it again.
