May 2020

Another Month gone which means It that time the month for Lexy to ramble waffle in a Patreon post.

Well, it has been an interesting month Darth is now home from his deployment thou the have offered a promotion to stay and help train recruit. He would base at the local navy base and be teaching, he would also he got a promotion to sweeten the deal.

He has not decided if he going to take but it would mean he closer to home not on the road as much as working since all the work had dried up them I an 100% behind him whatever he decides.

This Month the guide has seen a few really big updates that required new games sorry but this cannot always be helped first we add LOTD Notification only to have to pull out a few weeks later due to update breaking cos of the guide reliance on merges.

It is becoming more and more obvious the guides dependency on the fast ageing Mator's SMASH the program we use for automatic Conflict Resolution has become more hindrance than a help. It cos if Mator SMASH not being able to load more the 255 plugins one of the main reasons we have so many merges. Mator has pretty much confirmed that the tools will never be updated so with that I had a discussion with the staff and we all agreed we need to come up a better solution.

We kind of automated the Bash Tag section which was a bit rocky at first but we got there in the end. 

Discord chunders along at its usual pace i have draft two new help desk minions xanza who is actually build a new Wabbajack installer and  staggybitosoup we wish the best of luck. 

Speaking of Wabbajack I have heard the unofficial Wabbajack installer is now several updates behind the guide MDC has being busy with University.

We hit a small milestone this month I got my 100th Patron subscriber you guys are awesome and love you all.

A subscriber did ask what happens to the donation you give me? Well that is an excellent question I have to pay like 5% of the total amount donated via Patreon for Patreon and PayPal admin fees and the rest comes to me in the form of USD; which is a bit of pain since the exchange rate between USD and GBP is pretty poor at the moment. 

So the donation you give me mostly sit in what I call the "War Chest" which means it is sitting in Paypal in USD.

Your donations thus far have enabled me to purchase a new GPU I got a good deal on GTX 1080TI of eBay last year and a new mouse. It also enable the purchase of the domain name which is £7 per year. I also donate $15 to Evertrio who very kindly looks after the server-side of things.

The War Chest is pretty healthy now and I do plan to build a brand new PC soon I will, of course, keep you all posted on my purchases.

Evertiro also informs there is a massive update to the back end of the site coming which means the site will go down for a few hours/days so he can update it we will keep informed of progress. He forms me that a new FOMOD Builder is coming which some I have been begging for since he swapped to the website as I hate having to use screenshots.

Well I think that about covers everything that has happened this month so as usual here is you resident mad lady signing off
