If a small file size is your goal avoid formats with little compression, scale down the image to a reasonable size, decrease the resolution. A combination of these three things, if used reasonably, will result in a small file that is still beautiful. There are many more ways to decrease the file size, but those I just mentioned usually work well enough.

Crap happens all the time, and when it happens you better find yourself a healthy addiction for pain relief. I was addicted to alcohol many years ago, the hard stuff, but stopped soon enough to replace it with something more productive before wrecking myself. Believe me, an alcohol addiction comes quicker than you might imagine and you might not even (-want to) recognize it until its too late. All I want to say is be cautious.

That is a lot though.

I'm playing DA:3 with a new character, a female Qunari knight enchanter. Way more fun than my first playthrough with an assassin.

Just had a chat with my neighbor who has been suffering from a severe case of Leukemia for over a year now, he is about to get his final chemotherapy, his fifth one - and its looking really good! That guy is such a tough bastard, spending so much time in the hospital staring at walls while feeling like death would drive me insane.

If you have to drink, keep it moderate.

Just started a new DA3 game with a female Qunari. She turned out really nice, for some reason I'm much better at making female faces than male faces. I love her already.

Me neither. I hope Nissan does a good job and that they'll be reliable, I love their new innovative LMP. A simple stove can be a source for interesting photos. Even though its extremely hard to make good crisp shots with all the mirage from the intense heat. I also almost cooked my camera because it was so hot, I didn't notice until it was almost too late - I have an unnatural resistance to heat.

I've decided to do another playthrough in DA3, with a Qunari female knight enchanter. In case BW produces worthwhile DLC in the near-ish future I want to have two vastly different characters.

Oh my, I'm an expert in water carrying! I often go mountain climbing, relying on natural springs can be dangerous so I always carry water with me, especially on routes I've never done before. In 3500 meters altitude and above your body dehydrates much quicker like in a desert so I always carry at least 7 liters of water, that goes into my 28kg heavy backpack. In the worst case scenario which is not finding or not having access to any natural water sources I carry 2-3 days worth of hydration with me. If you're planning on carrying lots of weight for several days you can do upper trapecius (the muscle between your shoulder and neck) exercises so the straps of your backpack sit on a muscle cushion and do not rub the skin on your clavicle away. For stabilization I recommend core exercises to keep your upper body straight, thats abs and spine extensors. Dumbbell dead lifts and fronts squats have totally increased my ability to carry heavy backpacks relatively comfortably. Also when it gets really hot, have you tried to loosen the straps so air can get between your backpack and your back to carry away some of the heat? If its not too heavy thats a comfortable option, just loosen the straps every 30 minutes or so, for a couple of minutes.

Today, after completing my deadlifts, I tried something really nasty, lunges with heavy weights. 85kg lunges feel like somebody cut off one of your legs and you do squats while your fat buddy is sitting on your shoulders. Builds leg, hip and pelvis strength like nothing else. Highly recommended as exercise to improve your deadlifts and squats.

Today damaged nerves around my throat have been hurting a lot, it feels like someone is running a hot razor down the sides of my neck. Those nerves rarely hurt but when they do its highly irritating.

Wow, working half-scale full auto models of AK's, Dragunovs etc.

Nobles in Dragon Age never miss an opportunity to look down on people. Literally. But I've learned my lesson, if you're expecting conversations don't forget your trusty chair 'o speech. It gives you +3 on charisma.

Too bad they weren't Muslims, here in Austria we have people return from a tour across the battlefields of Syria all the time and nobody gives a damn. If Spaniards fight in the Ukraine its all bad.

Today my idiot farmer neighbor decided to cut down a beautiful, healthy tree -which flowered beautifully with large white blossoms each spring- for pretty much no reason at all. He told me he found it annoying and he had no use for it and since it was growing on his property he got rid of it. I told him that for every tree he cuts down for no reason I'll plant two new ones in my garden. I guess some people are blind to beauty and only find satisfaction in destruction. I pity their empty lives. Oh my, I probably sound like an angry Elf now.

Aw man.

If I'd be lucky you would accidentally shoot yourself in the heart. I don't turn down donations and your body would feed me for months!

Thats easily explained, I don't want anybody to see my kinky pron collection in my vault. And I also hate the thought of having random strangers nibbling on my precious rifles. Happy now?

Today I've been reading some horror stories about an impending global financial collapse and the end of the society as we know it, with parallels drawn to the crash in the early 30's, just multiplied by the factor 10. While I take everything I read about this topic with a grain of salt (a truckload, actually) and its definitely mostly just scaremongering its still a sobering thought. Even though I'd a bit more prepared than a lot of people I'd still be totally screwed.

I just received a shipping confirmation from the shop that sells rifle stocks. THREE freaking weeks after I placed the order. What did they do in those three weeks? Did they carve my stock with their dull pocket knives? Oh, no wait, they probably had to grow a tree first!

For me music plays an important role in games and this one really makes me look forward to the entire soundtrack. I still remember every single track from Baldur's Gate and Icewind dale, I hope with PE it will be similar.
