like a baby actually. Miranda even tried to pick her brain about sleeping so well despite the traumatic events she's been through. but with my her active subconcious she rarely has nightmares.

Sarah has always sleept badly at nights.. at first it was nightmares about Mindoir and they have never really left her and after she got spaced and revived by Cerberus she has nightmares about her own death. After Arrival she barely sleep anymore. The death of the 300 000 disturb her greatly and she can't sleep without having nightmares about it.

I do keep the gamma cranked up in my game, mostly for videos. If I don't, they turn out extremely dark during the process of editing and uploading them. It looks better to capture on a higher gamma setting then try to crank up the brightness in Vegas.

There's many reasons why that can happen. Color space conversion can cause that. I personally haven't noticed any real world difference after RGB (I use Fraps lossless RGB capturing) to YV12 colour space conversion with AviSynth. Also, encoding settings have a lot to do how much dark detail stays there. If you captured the stuff already in lossy format then results are obviously worse than from lossless material.

YouTube rapes the quality since they re-encode everything and incredible amount of detail will be lost. So in worst case there are quite many lossy conversion going on.

I don't really know how Vegas handles that colour space conversion or if there are know issues. Everything is possible, though. I personally use brute force techniques (AviSynth scripts, VirtualDub and Audacity - who said that editing has to be easy? ). I use x264 for encoding to h264 with some rather CPU heavy settings (thank God for hyper threading and quad core CPU's) and the results are good quality wise. At least on my display when compared to original. But sure, non youtubed videos look much better than youtubed.

Lol I dont think I would be creative enough to do more then one tweet!  haha   


But it did inspire me to get everyone to have a party on the Citadel later in celebration of Jamie getting femshep.com up and running!   Everyones invited

So I recreated Katie as best I could in ME1, but can't show her off as F11 doesn't work as intended. It takes an image, but I can't open said image in anything... Not sure why. It's rather frustrating really...

Any ideas anyone?

Tim

P.S. In my config folder in 'BIOInput', it has Bindings=(Name="F11",Command="TakeScreenShot")

Should I just replace this with Bindings=(Name="F11",Command="Shot") ?

Edit:  Slick moves Crash, slick moves...

Maddy suffered from insomnia and sleeping problems for almost 8 years after her parents death, suffering with aweful nightmares of the incident. She eventually turned to a stong sleep aid medication called Esoretnapam to which she eventually became dependent on. She became defensive about this and it almost cost her her assignment to the SSV Yorktown.  Her doctor (Dr. Lambert) and her CO (Cpt. J.T. Price) were concerned:

*AUDIO FILE BEGINS - DR. ALLEN MEYERS - DATE 7-24-2177*

"Ah, Lieutenant...Come in, please...have a seat"

"is this gonna take long...I just.....look, not be rude or anything...but I'm not sure why I'm here and I think it is just a waste of our time"

"Well since we are apparently skipping the introductions..."

"Your just another shrink here to examine my "delicate mental state" or "dive into my deepest most inner pain" or some **** like that.. right?"

"well,sometimes that is part of it, yes...but the reason you are here is thatyou were referred to me by your attending physician, Dr. Lambert ……he and I are old friends"

"ooooo...the plot thickens! So Lambert thinks I'm loosin' my marbles or something?"

"actually he was rather concerned about you…he told me you have been having quite a bit of trouble sleeping and trying for several weeks to get another prescription for Esoretnapam"

"Yeah, so..I have insomnia some times and need something to put down for the night...gotta be rested for
what I do"

"Esoretnapam is a very strong sleep aid for very severe cases and is recommended in small doses only...it's not for the occasional bout of insomnia.......he has been your attending doctor for almost 7 years now, he said you have always suffered from trouble sleeping.."

"Look....I don't know what the f*** you guys think is going on, but it's nothing I can't deal with...I just need the Esoretnapam to get myself straightened back out... on a good sleep schedule"

"This doesn't look good Madeline, you know that....It doesn't look good on paper, it doesn't look good to your commanding officer. I am required to file a full report with Captain Price if I feel there is an issue...that would mean he would have to remove you from duty....and with your military record, I just don't think you would want that to happen...I don't want that to happen either"

*shortpause*

(sigh) "okay...look..I..I have nightmares that keep me awake"

"Nightmares?....what sort of nightmares?

*awkward pause*

(her voice looses all emotion, with a hint of pain and fear) "....(deep uneasy sigh)...Horrible Nightmares...the kind
that….haunt your mind when your awake...and terrorize it when you sleep….images and things that…make you fear ever falling asleep again….things you can NEVER forget about, but want to so badly….."

"Go on Madeline....what are these nightmares about?

"There about uh....my family"

"You mean about what happened to them on Mindor?"

"Yeah...I.uh....I..can see my mother, she is in the kitchen preparing dinner like she always did at this time in the
afternoon.

"Tell me a little about her, your mother"

"(mournful
sigh)…She was so beautiful and smart….. she had a strong spirit and a kind heart....my father loved her so. He used to tell me a story about how they met on the Citadel during their academy days. He said he saw her for the first time on the Presidium....on one of those bridges, you know...the ones across the lakes?......He would always describe her as having long, flowing curls of fiery red hair ...and the most piercing emerald green eyes he had ever seen.... with a gaze that could cut to the depths of the deepest ocean...or the deepest part of a man's soul.... ashe used to put it"

"...Go on Maddy"

"Just then, my fathercomes running in yelling about something that is happening....just can't understand him. He has fear in his eyes.....something I had never seen in him before. My mother is scared too, and comes to find me...rambling....almost about needing to hide me..I...don't know why....I..I am terrified now as well....I can feel tears welling up in my eyes..."

"After my mother puts me into the service tunnel beneath the house 5 Batarians kick our front door in and barge into the house...I can hear my mother scream as one of them grabs her and drags her into the living room.....I can hear my father yelling at them to leave mother alone, I know that is what he said... I just couldn't hear his exact words..."

"I stick my head up through the service hatchin the dinning room so that I can see what's happening....I remember
seeing one of them hit my mother really hard and my father jump up to attack the Batarian...the one that hit her.....then.....um....they uh....." *choking back tears*

"Then what happened..... to your father?"

"(tearful sigh)..they....the one he attacked...stabbed him with uh...a uh..large knife......when he uh..fell to his knees…another one shot him in the temple...and it splattered all over mymother…..who began screaming...and screaming.......until....they uh..um(chokes back tears) ....they..(voice falters)..slit her throat..."

"..Her blood....was everywhere....it ran like ...um...like..a river..as one of the Batarians drug their bodies out the front door.........That was the last time...I..I saw either of them (tearfully panting, trying hard not to cry)"

*long pause*

"what happened after that Maddy...how did you escape?"

"Don't really remember exactly how I got out, but I remember the tears....the lump in throat and in my stomach......and the pure, unbridled rage and hate …..that consumed me like a black hole. I remember making it to the kitchen and finding the knife.."

"What knife?"

"The 14 inch kitchen knife that my mother had been using just minutes earlier" I remember picking it up and...the rest is a little blurry"

"well what do you remember from that time?"

"I just remember using what my father had taughtme....and killed every last one of those f***ers…..who had killed my parents...I...I stabbed them, sliced and hacked at them until I was to weak to hold the knife anymore....or see through the tears, blood and rage.......It was the first time I had ever taken a life." (clears throat and wipes her eyes)……I..I was a different person after that….I felt…different..”

"I got this scar...across my eye, here...from the last one I killed...he was the only one who tried to fight back....and it reminds...of, uh...what they made me into ...and that whole thing...every time..(sniff, wipes eye)...every time a look in a mirror"

"How do you feel, Madeline?"

"(sniffs)...Better....I guess.....never told that to anyone…..don't know what good it did telling you though.."

"Sometimes people carry great burdens of pain....bottled up for years and just need to release it....It is a healing process"

"don't know if I believe that, doc.....sounds like shrink bull**** to me..." (unknown rustling noise)…Idon’t think telling’ you is gonna make it all go away..”

“..Well not instantly, no…..I will still take time, how much time…now that depends on you…how long are you willing to let it consume you?…like a “black hole” as you said earlier…”

"...Well...it looks like our time is up.....If you ever need to talk just..."

"..Sure thing, doc...that is just what I want...to come back and sob like a chump and share feelings...this was awkward enough as it was"

"At least let me know if you still have those nightmares.."

( door opens)

"...(sarcastic chuckle)..yeah, sure doc."

(door shuts)

If you check the lists on her profile, you'll find most of peeps who are "playing twitter" since ME2 release. Most of them are playing on few accounts... Kinda talking to themselves now.

@Down: good. Thou I like to read John's tweets, he's a sweetie.

Hmm, Tessa has recurring nightmares due to the loss of her unit on Akuze.  Also, the death of Kaiden, she hates that she had to make a choice between the mission and saving the man she loved.  Due to the nightmares, she actually tries to stave off sleep for as long as possible.  Generally succumbing to quick cat-naps during the day rather than long periods of sleep.  It's not perfect, but it keeps the nightmares to a bearable level.


Malvina, on the other hand, sleeps quite soundly.  Torfan, Virmire, dying, most of it didn't really phase her.  She takes a pragmatic outlook on her death and resurrection.  It might have sucked, but she's alive now and intends to keep it that way.

Well, if you look at the bio for Katie, and her psych profile, you'll see she's not that overwhelmed by stress.  When folk die, sure, she gets a bit melancholy, but she puts it to the back of her mind.  Get the job done right, get everyone else home safe.  Then, once she's back in her quarters, she has a bit of a cry, a couple of drinks, and makes an appointment with her artist on Arcturus Station (she's got the name of every single person that's died under her command tattooed in small writing on her right shoulder blade).  It's her way of remembering them.  Then she goes to sleep, wakes up and goes back to work.

When Kaidan died on Virmire, she was cut up about it (Kaidan was her trusted right hand - the man she trusted to look after things whilst she was away, and her friend too), but Liara helped her through it.  She reminded her that Saren was still out there, and the best way to make sure Kaidan hadn't died in vain was to take down Saren and Sovereign, showing the Council that the Reaper threat was real and definitely a danger to the galaxy.  With Sovereign destroyed, Katie considers his memory honoured, though she's annoyed that the Council seem to be keen to bury all evidence of the Reapers.

So, short answer; it troubles her at the time, but she's able to deal with it quite quickly, honouring their memories (in her own way) and getting on with life.

Well, that's the short version of an explanation I could fit into a whole blog post about her.

Tim

P.S. This is also why I love playing FemShep in the ME series; she's always seemed a lot more of a blank canvas than ManShep.  Nothing against ManShep, but I think I can better write a character for FemShep, whereas ManShep is just a little too close to me.

Wow that was a good read, really quite deep.   I enjoyed it.  Always nice to get a better understanding behind our femsheps :happy:


I think the majority of femsheps due to their lifestyles will find it difficult on occasion (or worse) to get a good night.  She carries a lot of burdens and weight.   Plus those past emotional scars will always remain.  


For Amelia it was an occasional thing. Mostly when she has a lot of time to reflect.  During a mission or Agenda, she keeps her focus and puts her emotional focus solely on that.   However when she is alone for a long period and her mind wanders she starts to thing back to the past and how things could have been done differently.  This upsets her sleep and she sometimes struggles.   She dearly misses her family which were lost on Mindoir, but she know they would be really proud of the woman she has become.  

I think right now her whole positive attitude is in turmoil.  After the events of Arrival she cant describe her feelings of remorse and regret and the crew have started to notice the fact she spends alot of time alone in her quarters. She knows she has to be strong for the coming events, but the fact she cant see a light at the end of the tunnel and the man she loves is somewhere with the Alliance means she feels truely alone and isolated right now.

Thanks Crash!  This is from the FanFic I am working on (well...sorta) for Maddy and was the funnest and the most interesting portion to write.  I wanted Maddy to not be perfect and have some sort of weakness or vice.  Even such a great hero can have a dark side or a weakness.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Marianne is pretty good at realising when she's not going to get to sleep and finding something else to do. What with Mindoir and Akuze she's had plenty of practice - she's also mastered looking just the right amount of messed up to keep the shrinks off her back. She does wish she'd stop running into Thresher Maws though.

Naomi had a bad habit of refighting the Battle of the Citadel - the argument that saving the Destiny Ascension wasn't worth risking the galaxy is hard to hold onto when you can see with hindsight that it could have been saved. But she's mostly over it. Arrival isn't so bad - she didn't really have a choice.

Jill is more likely to be kept awake by thinking about cool gadgets than past traumas. Particularly now she is a particularly cool gadget herself.
