SWTOR to Space Opera X again

I've got 35 raw video files to go through and edit. Seven of them I recorded without sound. Sigh. I finally changed the hardware settings on OBS so that if I forget to put my headphones on, I still get sound on the recording too, not just in real life. In fact, now I have to specifically set OBS to headphones if I want to use them, which means that most likely I won't very often.

That's really frustrating, though. I've got a lot of video for several characters without sound; one of Codon Veile doing the last fourth of Coruscant, all of Mirabeau Tane on Ord Mantell, Anstal Tane doing the bonus series on Taris and some of Elemer Kell on Taris too. Really frustrating. 

And to think that I stopped recording Taul Kajak and Hutran Thanatos for less problems with audio than I have now. I probably really should just not even start with Mirabeau Tane and make him be another non-recorded character like the two Mirialan. I haven't edited even the first video of his. In fact, the more I think about that, the more I think that's a great idea that I should totally embrace. Not quite sure why I need to record two trooper stories at once anyway.

And I'm even—not for the first time—wondering if it's even worth it to record these playthroughs anyway, although I do find them fun in some ways.

But I'm going to give serious thought to ditching the Mirabeau recordings and just playing him as a more casual character that I don't have to stress about recording.

Anyway, what I'm really showcasing today is a few pictures I grabbed from torf, or TOR Fashion, a site that archives elements you can get in this game. It also allows for registered users to post screenshots of their custom character creations. In this case, the characters fade in to the background just a bit, though—I actually really like the way that he customized his Tatooine Stronghold to look like a rough and tumble market in a frontier town, or maybe a black market place ridden with scum and villainy. 

It really almost doesn't look like Tatooine either, but that's just because the main planet is on a strong daylight lighting scheme and this is a darker dusk lighting scheme.

I've always got too many things on my plate from a hobby perspective, but I'm still giving thought to some minor revisions to the Space Opera X setting; mostly just to get rid of names that I now realize that I either consciously (and then forgot) or subconsciously stole from somewhere else.

Not that that's the worst thing. As I may have mentioned about a year or so ago last Thanksgiving, more or less, when reading H. Beam Piper's Space Viking I discovered that Hoth was a throwaway reference to a space viking world. Lucas himself either subconsciously or consciously stole it himself.
