You might have encountered some controversies surrounding me on reddit or Discord already. In short, I feel that I am no longer welcome in the Bethesda modding community for the purposes I seek.
I wanted to support myself with this hobby because I love it so much, but that will never happen because I am prohibited from charging upfront. I don't think I can do much more to push for that ability other than going out in a blaze of glory, which I have done.

I'm going to drop the usual Monthly Your Money Report this month, because I no longer believe you deserve access to that information.
Various circumstances in my Community and the Wabbajack Community at large have convinced me that those Communities, with the release of Bethesda's Verified Creations Program, have become actively hostile to the idea of supporting myself with Bethesda-related Content, over and above even the hostility of ...
2024-09-04 18:39:52 +0000 UTC View PostHard Topics and the other social channels on Jolly Co-Operators have become a bit of an Albatross around my neck. For that reason, I have decided to split all social functions for my hostile personality off to a separate server. If you want to hang out and chat, please consider joining, but for now, membership is request only. I hope by doing this I can foster an environment better suited for my prickly personality that will risk less dramatic blowback against m...
2024-08-07 22:29:33 +0000 UTC View PostFirst a bit of a note on my health. Given that my current medication had lost its effectiveness, I attempted to switch to a new medication called Caplyta. It worked fantastic to treat my condition. I was happy, active, engaged, and motivated -- sleeping better with less irritation. However, after about a week of taking it -- a serious side effect developed. My body became unable to regulate its internal temperature. Taking off my sweater made it feel as tho...
2024-07-02 20:43:56 +0000 UTC View PostFirst a bit of a note on my health. It has taken a downturn for the summer. I do not know if mental and emotional difficulties will allow me to work as efficiently on profiles and commissions. It's the depressive cycle of a disorder that used to be called "Manic Depressive" before that became uncool to say. These typically last for a few years and involve lethargy and lack of motivation.

Thus far, in April, I have received $694.77 in Patreon subscription donations. Of this, $127.91 was taken up by Patreon's Payment and Platform fees, leaving me with $566.86.
My first expense of the month was to catch up on the credit card minimums from the previous month — something I had neglected. These are five extremely low-balance, high-interest cards I am foolishly trying to use to build my credi...
2024-04-18 17:12:58 +0000 UTC View PostJust a few moments ago, I received the below DM from Discord Administration regarding server monetization. It's most likely a bot of theirs.
Their policies about NSFW content haven't changed, but they are pretty strict. I also attached an image from their TOS.
For March, I received $367.75 in Patreon subscription donations, thus far.
From this, $31.00 was deducted to ship a hoodie with the bombin' Licentia logo to one of my more dedicated Patrons. I hope they enjoy it and tell many interested parties about my modlist when asked!

2023-09-18 23:03:19 +0000 UTC View PostAs I have been thinking the past few months about Licentia, I have wondered to myself: what about a Skyrim modlist makes me excited? What about the base game makes me excited? What, in fact, makes me excited about single-player RPG's at all?
