Saying Hello to Everyone I Pass by

When I walk I say hello to everyone I can. It annoys some people lol... and that's ok. It definitely feels awkward... that's ok, too. It builds my confidence and makes my mental health a little bit better.... that's all that matters.

MichaelWontQuit Journal Week 3 & 4

Down 10lbs since I started logging my progress 4 weeks ago. I'm in the process of editing the next MWQ video. And... I suppose that's it for now = ) Thank you for all the support. More stuff on the way.

Should you Clean Bethesda DLC and Mods? And How to do so

I spent some time chatting with the xEdit folks both publically on their discord and in private. Off to work on more things = )

MichaelWontQuit Journal Week 2

Was a rougher week than I would have liked = )

Had to revisit some youthful trauma this week. Got me off track a bit. Though, due to creating MichaelWontQuit, I'm actually not nearly as off track as I would have been. At least for now MWQ seems to be helping me to stay focused (even if there are set backs). So, .... good then= )

Escaping Fear: Taking Control of My Life

First video on the (NEW) second channel. It's a bit nerveracking... but here we go = )

MichaelWontQuit Journal Week 1

This will be a weekly post for Patrons at ALL Tier levels to see = )

In week 1 I've actually dropped 5lbs (counting today, Day 8). Today I get my GoPro camera stuff. I'll spend a day or two learning how to use it and I'll be able to take it on walks/hikes with me and hopefully get some cool footage and nice flowing videos.

Once the f...

2 Adjustments to Patreon Billing

Hey folks,

1. Patreon is reccomending to me, again, to raise the first tier to $3. I've been on Patreon for 10 years and I have never increased anything. However, the $1 tier being raised to $2 is finally starting to make sense. In 31 days Tier one members will increase to $2 a month.

2. New Patrons will no longer be billed twice in ...

GamerPoets & MichaelWontQuit

You will notice that the Patreon page name has been updated (to what the title of this post is). I'm going to begin a second YouTube channel (it won't take away from GamerPoets work) to document (and help force myself to better commit to) my health journey, both physical and mental.

The second channel will be videos comprised of short cli...

xEdit - Installation & Setup (Games + Mod Managers)

El Minster wanted me to do an update for quite some time (so long I think he forgot about it). Finally updating the xEdit playlist on the channel as well as adding some new stuff to it = )

I hope you are all doing well. Thank you for the continued support. These videos are being created because you (Patrons) allow me the means to do so. Th...

Address Library for Fallout 4 | What you need to know | F4SE Plugin

Address Library. Why it won't help every mod (especially older F4SE mods) from being broken. What is going to need to happen for it to work again like it always has.

Hope you are all doing well out there = )

Easily Tweak All Bethesda Ini Settings | Bethini Pie | Installation & Setup

Next video will be comparison footage for all of the Fallout 4 settings in Bethini Pie. I eventually will do a video for Skyrim and Starfield settings as well.

Thank you everyone for supporting me. I'm creating stuff as quick and cleanly as I possibly can. Feels good making content again = ) I'll see you soon ish

Announcement of Things

Patreon

The About tab here on Patreon has been updated. It's been needing it for quite a while. I haven't had video credits in years, not because I didn't want to have them, but because setting them up added another layer of stress to the creation process that I was struggling to keep up with.

Skyrim Anniversary Edition Content Picker

Choose what "vanilla" CreationClub content you want... and don't want....quick and easy while cleaning up your mod manager.

Persevering through Trauma

I've shared this on both Discord and the YouTube community tab, but I know that we don't all have time, or desire, to keep up with all of the social media stuff (neither do I) so I wanted to share this here as well. This is not my usual, "New Video" or "Life Update" sort of post that I try to stick to on Patreon. It's much more personal and not...

Hey there = )

Next video is being worked on.... but beyond gaming I've been busting my butt to get back in shape, to be healthy, and to make some serious thru-hiking plans for the future.

6 weeks ago I couldn't walk 1/4 of a mile without being in absolute pain and overly dizzy. Today I'm doing nearly 6 1/2 mile walks/hikes 4 days a weeks. I"m a bit exh...

How to Stop Steam Game Updates

These are the various methods I've come across to stop Steam from Updating games. The AppManifest option seems to be the most useful but it doesn't hurt to do them all. 

So for the Stopping Steam Updates video I think what I'm going to show are:

(copy and pasted from the Discord Heroes room post I made)
So for the Stopping Steam Updates video I think what I'm going to show are:

• Stop steam from auto starting with the PC
• Make games only update on launch
• Make sure Steam is open before you open your mod managers
• Use alternative apps, like script ext...

How to Safely Move Steam Games & Entire Libraries

Updates: sSteam moved their LIbraries to the "Storage" tab under settings and this video reflects that, among other things. 

Small Update about Discord

Since the #heroes room doesn't get much use I"ve been using it over the last few weeks to post small updates as I progress through editing videos. If you're ever interested in how long until my next upload... my posts there will give you an idea. Hope you're all doing well out there = )

Writing up some skyrim tutorial updates right now

I have 3 videos in mind for Starfield.  

On my new pc build I now have enough storage space (40tb dedicated to project storage) so I can save entire projects, which will allow me to not have to redo update videos entirely from scratch. Going forward this will save me a lot of tim...

New PC Is working = )

I've been putting this build together since the beginning of July. I've had to send many parts back and wait for new ones to arrive since then. 

Everything seems to be working well. CPU overclocked and seems stable so far (keeping an eye on it). RAM clocked and all of my programs are installed that I need to create content. I've turne...

When Updates Break Mods || How to Mod Valheim

Spent a while trying to make this video as simple to follow as possible. Also took a week off. Time away can be nice = ) I hope you are all doing well. I have 2 more Valheim videos that I'd like to make and then I'm moving on to other stuff. 

Thank you ;)

I'd like to make sure that everyone knows that there is no reason to ever feel bad because you have to stop your pledge. I say this after reading a few comments from people who have fallen on hard times and had to stop.

You will always be appreciated. You don't owe me anything. Thank you for what you have done and for what you are doing. 2023-06-29 20:28:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Back to It

Back into production tomorrow = )

The year started with me recovering from end of 2022 hernia surgery. I started to feeling a bit more like me in February. Caught pneumonia. Spent 5 weeks getting over/recovering from that. Then with the recent CT scan that I had I learned that I now have another hernia (hiatal this time) most likely due to...

What's happening... = )

I am going to have a ton of tutorials to create when I am done updating the website https://moddingmyway.com/skyrim/ . It's going to seem like I am absent but I am not. I simply have my head down as I work away (and enjoy doing so) on my load order/site.

Three Hearts as One - Performed by Michael (GamerPoets)

This one took me a while. Was sick for almost a month (pneumonia) . Lingering stuff but pretty much better. Got a new microphone so I could record my guitar better. Trying to write this in a way that allowed me to play it while still sounding "good" took me.. well, a while = )

I hope you folks like it. I wanted to share it with you all bef...

Morrowind - Call of Magic - Michael on Guitar

I finally have something that I can share with just Patrons = )

I'm far from great at the guitar. I'm ok = ) ... but I'm a pretty decent producer. Hopefully some of you enjoy this.
