Keep looking, you’ll find some forts with bandits and other humanoid baddies in there. But I think you’re right, definitely more common in Skyrim
At least in my experience when traveling in the American South they’re normally very friendly
I like the size and placement of it. Lots of tattoos in this style are too small or thin imo, so I actually really like this bolder look.
I could look at hundreds of characters drawn in your style
This. I remember when I realized “… huh, this staff is actually very powerful” haha those minotaurs will be toast
Love that I could instantly recognize this location. Also love how people would still enjoy this without having any idea where it’s from. Very cool
Darkwater Crossing still strikes some trepidation into my heart…I still remember on my first playthrough erroneously thinking that it was the only way into The Rift (and thus to Ivarstead for the main quest) and having no idea what I was in for at level 3 or so. I lost Faendal my first follower who covered me as I ran out of the final exit; meanwhile he stood his ground and was slain by many falmer. I later came back to his floating corpse in the cave and dropped a bouquet of flowers on him after clearing out the rest of the vile creatures.
I truly felt fear, thrill, and mourning in those moments.
Strong & legible. Looks awesome!
One person ***that you know of haha. Unless you ask everyone you meet if they know ASL…?
The point is moot anyway; this post is about advising people to LEARN the ASL alphabet as a memory-improving device. Which is not nearly the same thing as knowing the fully-fledged, independent language that is ASL. Learning the alphabet would take 2 weeks to have down pat.
Hope you branch out soon and meet some more people! There’s plenty of people out there using sign language, even if they’re not doing it around you :)
Same experience here- it’s not just you. People spell their emails to me over the phone, and I always read it back to them and it’s almost always wrong haha (unless they go very slow or I’m concentrating very hard). And sometimes people will spell words out loud so their little kids won’t hear, and it usually takes me about 15 seconds before I can piece it together (for reference, I have a BA in English and an MA in Communication and love to read, so it’s not like typically inexperienced with words or bad at spelling.) After I got diagnosed I told my mom about it, and she said my dad is the exact same way when words are spelled out loud haha so there you go. My neuropsych confirmed it’s genetic
Never said I wasn’t, but there’s a wide gap between something being in the minority and something being rare. Hope this helps!
Taking the boat into to Solitude or Windhelm! (Even Castle Volkihar if you want). Can be a major help when you’re stuck in the Pale on Survival Mode
I watched The Batman and got literally rained on for 3 hours 😭
Lmao what. We love Salt & Vinegar chips, they’re just not pink here
Not like Dune, but “Contact” (1997) is super underrated
Fair enough. I’m not saying being fluent in Sign is in your cards, but learning only the alphabet in sign isn’t really like learning a “new” language, in my mind it only helps strengthen your memory of your own alphabet.
And thanks you too! Hope you don’t self-loathe anymore- treat your mind like it belongs to your best friend <3
No, you’d be surprised what “hacks” your mind and body is capable of. This is a good tip with or without ADHD lol don’t be so bleak
I know several friends who have learned ASL for fun and has also helped them with their ADHD in similar ways
No, have faith in yourself! It will take practice but I’m sure you could do it. In my experience it will make things easier and click into place once you get the alphabet down
Nice, I do the same thing! I have some deaf relatives so have always known some basic ASL (mostly the alphabet). Additionally, my whole life whenever spelling a word out loud, I’ve always used my hand to sign the letters as I go which made it much easier for me- felt like “writing the word in the air” as I go.
Turns out, in my late 20s I was finally diagnosed with ADHD and an auditory processing disorder related to sequencing. Basically makes it very difficult to repeat a sequence in the same order I heard it if there’s no visual aid. The neuropsych even noticed during my testing how I was instinctively using my hand at my side to sign the first letter of certain words to help during the audio sequence test (one of like 20 tests they gave me).
Feels great to realize what I have cause I always just felt stupid in this area. When people spell things out loud, or say their phone number, it’s just like jumbled alphabet soup in my mind. I can see the first and last letter/number, but everything in between is all over the place. Signing it out helps a lot.
Glad you found this trick, OP. Sign language is amazing.
Slanting too much to be able to read easily
Any feedback on my handwriting?
