Welcome to the "About Me" page of the inventor of
Battle Bunny Beer and creator of Nude Mud Crab
Watching. If things seem vain, remember, this is
the "About Me" page and dammit, for a change
it is about me.
PC gamer since 1984.
"Consoles are for children, PCs are for adults."
I do not speak English, I speak 'Merican. There is a big difference....
What some consider paranormal, I consider reality.
No, I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every damned minute of it !

Yay ! Autographs for sale in the lobby.....
I have been around the gaming community since the time
when people said they were "modding", it meant
making mods for a game, not adding them to a game....
I have released 9 mods (12 if you count the three
I've taken down), helped work on another person's,
beta tested 39 mods, made about 19 that were never
made public; and then suddenly, much to my
surprise...a bit of sanity returned....
But, alas, in March of 2021, I suffered brain damage
and in May decided to work on a portable bunker home
for Fallout 4. Good news is that I am sure it will be the
last mod I make, and can get on with what is left of my life.
About screen shots:
First person to post humor screenies in Nexus, with text
for translation purposes. My mother would have been proud....
I've posted over 1400 humor screenies in Oblivion, 460
shots in Skyrim, a few in Fallout 3, a few for Morrowind,
and 1 in FONV, a few in Vampire Bloodlines, and
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ( should I mention I have actually, in real
life, had photos in newspapers, magazines, books; and
two pictures that were part of a three-year traveling exhibit ?
nah...that would be too vain, so I shall not say a thing about it )
...oh, yeah, since I am currently playing Fallout 4, I now
post screenshots in that sector.
Oblivion shots are in two parts, some when Oblivion
came out, and some when my character returned to Cyrodiil
after Gersilla was in Skyrim... two hundred years after the
Oblivion Crisis; which are mainly the larger quest mods.
They are numbered with AIC before the numbers.
AIT prefix are those the first time around.
Posted a picture in Supporter Images. May be offensive to

Skyrim screen shots start with AIS 001...from when
she enters Skyrim on the cart ride, and progress
to the point where she leaves.
Oblivion screen shots:
Aug 2013, I re-numbered the pictures with prefix AIT.
Starts out with early works, ends with misc pictures.
To follow Gersilla's adventures, start with picture
AIT 0371, when her and Carah enter the Shivering
Isles, goes through the desert, Nehrim, guilds, and
through the main quest, to AIT 0996. The AIC series
takes place when Gersilla returned to Cyrodiil, after
her adventures in Skyrim.

I'm somewhat of a purest. Don't use PhotoShop.
My editing programis iPhoto Plus which came out in 1996.
It's very limited on what it can do, so there is very little
retouching done.
Carah has been after me to upgrade to a newer program,
but I say if it's not broke, don't fix it. I was the first person
to post humor shots in Nexus. I did it to help offset the
nude (which was allowed at the time) and nearly nude
pictures posted. I have a wide open sense of humor,
and unlike so many others, do not find computer
generated graphics women sexy. Cute, maybe...
sexy... no. I reserve those thoughts for real women
because they are sexy.
When it comes to endorsing screenies others post,
my first thought is "Do I want that on a wall in my
home, to be looked at every day ?" And, I endorse
the picture, not the contents. I believe in treating
people in the pictures like I would in real life.
I do not tilt, nor crop off the top of the head. After
all, how would you like it to have the top of your
head cut off and see life at a tilt ?
I do not expect people to endorse screenshots
just because they are friends. People should
only endorse if they truly like the picture. I do
not like all of my own, but know there are some
people out there that might.
If you wonder why I do not endorse some pictures:
Too static ( main subject centered )
Can not tell what game they are in. Subject just
being there. ( Bimbo pictures usually )
Person close to and facing edge...looks like they
don't even want to be in the picture.
No head room... looks like they are about to
bump their head on the edge. Or tops of head
cut off.
Too much dead space. Basically too much room
around the main subject. Make them dominate
the shot.
Tilted pictures. If you can not get the subject
in the picture vertical, learn to crop, don't put
them at a slant.
Two quotes I like about photography:
"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't
close enough"
'Just because you took the picture doesn't mean
it's good".
Gersilla in Skyrim
Gersilla is not a Bosmer, but a Sidhe; the firstborn to the
Duke and Duchess of The Mallorn Forrest. Helina is her
twin sister. Gersilla is a Master of the bow, adept in
destructive magics, and so good a thief, she can steal
the pants off a person walking past
https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/images/8401
She hates rudeness and often goes loggerheads with
authoritative figures. In all Elder Scrolls games she has
a "portable home" which was a gift from her mother but
has been modified to fit each game.
While still young, Gersilla (Gerstley at the time) ran afoul
of a magical artifact that over a period of months changed
her from male to female. Feeling she shamed her father
because she could not pass on the family name, she fled
home and has been roaming since.
Gersilla has been my heroine for years, even back when
she was just pen and paper, from a D&D type game. She
is 361 years old at the time of Skyrim. Family portrait of
Gersilla and Helina when they were children
https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/images/101512
Gersilla finished her adventures in Skyrim on 16 Nov 2012,
and went to a warmer climate....like somewhere in Nevada,
but got pulled back to Cyrodiil. Last picture posted in
Skyrim will tie in with her adventures when she returns
to Skingrad, having been summoned by Duchess Aurelia
Amnis' sorceress.
Pictorial story starts with the number AIC 000, the intro shot.

VIDS:
Testing out how well Bandicam works for Skyrim.
Sorry HUD was not disabled. Usually don't play in
3rd person, hence Gersilla's awkward movements.
Notice the"Wilhelm scream" ( often used in movies )
can be heard a few times. The one with lightening
flickering around her is Helina. Just the way she
prefers to protect herself.
Music is "Time is Tight" by Booker T and the MGs.
It is Gersilla's theme song.
Gersilla and the dead puppet girl, by request from
viewers seeing a static screenshot. The music is
"The Funeral March of a Marionette" by Charles Gounod.
Alfred Hitchcock used it as the theme song for his show.
Gersilla in Fallout New Vegas
Helina (left) is armed with a sniper carbine. Gersilla
(center) carries a 12.7mm submachine gun, Carah
(the short one) uses a Mauser because she prefers
to get up close and personal.
Jeez...do we look like "The Village People" or what ?
And, in Fallout 3, we looked pretty much the same,
just different armor but Gersilla managed to have
the fireman hat there.
The picture on the wall was taken by Amnis in the game
Oblivion, at The Hoser Hut, a pub mod real-life Carah made.
Amnis' character Julia is the one with arms crossed, Carah
is standing next to her. Fufu, the Battle Bunny is next to Julia.
The twit in the background with his arms spread is Malachi.
I liked Amnis' picture so much it is not only in the mod
named above, it is also a desktop in real life, in Gersilla's
portable home in Skyrim, FO3, FONV, and also in her
home during the second play of Oblivion.
The Hoser Hut mod has special meaning to Carah and
myself, as also does the picture. Amnis' picture has
appeared in the background in several screen shots.
It can be viewed full size here:

The Hoser Hut for the game Oblivion can be found here:
https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/39399
Though a very good mod, it does not have many
endorsements because Carah locked out the
comment and endorsement sections. Any the how,
back to the picture in the picture above. That is a
Skingrad banner on the wall that countess Julia
"gave" to Gersilla during the game Oblivion and
has been the topic of discussion in several
screenshots. The symbol of four diamonds
making a cross in the circle is registered to me
in real life. Motto: unum facit quod potest
Gersilla in Oblivion:
She started the game by herself, but shortly after meeting
real-life Carah, she made a copy of her player character
Carah for Gersilla to have as a companion. Then Fufu, the
beer drinking, arse kicking Battle Bunny joined them. He
was only going to be in three screen shots as a mod plug,
but Gersilla decided to take him into "Gates of Asguaard".
He became the most popular character in my Oblivion
pictures so he found a home. While in Shivering Isles,
Helina, Gersilla's twin sister, came into the game and
revealed Gersilla's deepest secret. I always wanted to
play twins, so here was my chance.
Dog was a reward for one of the quests and,
well...Fufu needed a companion, so he stayed.
We Are Family
Gersilla in front, Carah in blue, and Helina. Dog and
Fufu, the beer-drinkin' arse kickin' Battle Bunny.
Often it is those supporting the main character that
make them a hero....
Gersilla in Morrowind
Had not played Morrowind since it came out in 2002; and
due to the work of fantastic modders, the graphics have
drastically improved. (played 2018) We thank them.
Perhaps this is not the face I would prefer, but the game
is limited on character creation. ...eh...lets just say she
looks like this because she was very young at the time....
Gersilla in Fallout 4
October 2020 ( common era ) finally got FO4. Steam had
it and all DLCs on sale for under 20$, so I snatched it up.
Playing the game without the use of power armor
( unless the game forces me to ) because I figure within
210 years they would have been found a long time ago,
and if people haven't done it by now, they deserve to
become bloodsucker food. ....oh, wait...that's a
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. thing, not Fallout. anyway, if not, they
are destined to be eaten by deathclaws, or a plague
of insects...or rabid dogs....
If you are interested ( or not ) Gersilla's weapon of
choice is a 44-cal pistol with a sound suppressor,
and has a drum magazine.
Sundays: I usually post two ( 2 ) screenshots. Three
if I'm doing a special or a mod plug.
To gain bonus points, you have to have to comment
on those screenies that are part of that program. Make
sure to keep your bonus points in the jar with your
name on it.
Bonus points are redeemable at the Bonus Point kiosk
right next to the Autographs for Sale desk in the lobby.
If you can not find either one, ask directions from the
person on duty at the "Same-o Same-o Bimbo Pictures"
Booth. She will give you directions, change the angle
of view, and give them to you again and again....
We hope you enjoy the show. But remember,
when you leave, please drive safely. If you drink,
don't drive... you might hit a bump and spill it.
Of all the screenshots for FO 4 I have done, these
are my favorites:

Malachi Delacot:
I was born a small child a long time ago. Grew up in the
military; lived in California, Virginia, Wyoming, Spain,
Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas, Colorado, and Maine.
Been in 48 of the US states, seven countries, and
peed in three different oceans.
Carah, known in Nexus and TesAlliance for her wonderful
house mods, also "Horses Gone Wild", is very dear to me.
She and I met in the Nexus Forums thread"You Know
What I Like" in May 2008.
First comments, then PMs, followed by email, IM, then
phone calls, and Skype. I had her fly from Canada to
Colorado for in-person visits.
Romance grew and 27 Dec 2011 we lived together in
Colorado for about two and a half years, and were
engaged for almost Seven years.
A border now separates us, and, for reasons, I can not
go into Canada, nor can she enter The States. ...sigh....
some things are not meant to be.....
Her mods can be seen via her mini profile here:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/users/691792
Delacot is not my real last name, but Malachi (Mal ah ki -
rhymes with sky) is my first name. I use Delacot because
it's the name I used in The Society for Creative Anachronism;
and who knows, somebody I know from there might just
find me that way.
Below is a picture taken during a melee, at a Ren-Fair in
Texas. Yes, I actually know how to sword fight. Favorite
weapons are sword and madu. Weapon in picture is
Morgenstern, Those of you who are familiar with the
SCA, I am a squire and a HL. ( membership # 13949 )
Don't expect me to ever show my face in a photo
because there is a court order against it and I don't
want to be arrested for "public ugly".
Blessed be
Many faces have come along.
Some have stayed while some moved on.
True friends are few and hard to find.
Yet time goes on to leave some behind....
