Got a few spare minutes for a bit of late ESO action.
*goes to click PLAY*
PLAY button says PAUSE?

*takes off glasses to read some small print*

Downloading a near 3GB update patch.
Progress... 0%

...12%

I'm so bored I've just read the patch notes.
Oooh, they've improved item stacking in the inventory. I might get a couple of slots back.

EDIT: And now WIndows has chosen this moment to do some of those irritating "background tasks" that slow everything down.

EDIT2: This progress bar makes no sense at all.

That's a no, then.
 

Also I thought it had crashed when I finally tried to play. But I had a quick Google and found that the first launch after a patch can take several minutes to get to the character screen.
In the end I only had time to do my blacksmithing certification.

There'd better not be another patch anytime soon.

I seem to have installed something that makes my game somewhat unstable. It's not a major problem but it does seem to crash slightly more often. (It did crash occasionally before I even looked at any mods, so...)

And I've tried altering yet another item and it seemed fine, until it didn't - it was a clothing item and it didn't scale with the player anymore. I did change both 0 and 1 nifs in identical ways, and only in nifskope as I just wanted to remove a small detail that I didn't think was lore friendly.

There's an awful lot of not lore friendly things when it comes to clothes. Then again most of it seems to come for those weird body types rather than the vanilla game, too, so most of it is useless anyway.

I have successfully escaped the planet in Subnautica again  despite the game going out if it's way to screw me over with some bugs causing my prawn to clip out of bounds when I was... in that place where you do the thing  which is the last place I want to be stuck. On top of that it hadn't given me... a thing that I should have been given, leaving me with much console commanding to fix the game 

Apart from that time when I fell into the water UNDER a cave system, and couldn't get back into the actual cell, I don't think Subnautica ever glitched all that much for me. Though I do remember suffering several concussions due to the hatch of the prawn suit hitting me over the head when exiting.

Well, there was that big update that added the large room and stuff since I last played it, so maybe that introduced some bugs. 

Maybe. I didn't come across any, that I recall (the water one being in Below Zero) but then again I usually only play until I have a base I'm happy with and then I don't bother abut getting off the planet. Though logically I should still care about finding a cure for the disease one contracts....

Meanwhile I continue to spend half my life in the bank.
But I have now completed two daily crafting writs and they pay a decent amount of gold too.
*purchases one more horsey inventory slot*
I did get a bit confused when I couldn't immediately craft the maple restoration staff. I obviously thought I didn't have enough maple and spent ages roaming around the landscape out of town trying to find some. Lot's of jute for the clothing writ, plenty of plants that make lovely tea (haven't got my Provisioning certification yet) and even a noisy nirnroot (first one I've seen/heard! ) but very little maple.
I eventually found a little bit and took it back to sand it down and realised I have plenty of sanded maple in my always-completely-full inventory.
Went back to the crafting station and realised I was missing the Obsidian style material that you can just buy from the guy standing next to you.
