Une phrase, une disgression (typique) : qui sont ces gens qui signent en ÉNORME sur leur taf et pourquoi ??? Autant je trouve ça important de doter ses créations d'un contexte, de là à ce que celui-ci nous saute à la figure… Caché dans l'image, sous le passe-partout ou carrément au dos sont toutes des options valables à mes yeux. Bloguer, ou même poster en ligne, m'a également donné envie de développer une autre forme de signature, et c'est heureux car même dans sa plus profonde léthargie, des dates-clés m'ont toujours attendu au tournant pour me raccrocher à ce petit wagonnet à l'abandon, au point que même quand je n'ai vraiment aucune motivation pour écrire, je ne les laisse filer qu'avec regret. TANT MIEUX. J'ai fait vœu de maintenir cet espace jusqu'à la prochaine méga tempête solaire, alors il est temps de se retrousser les manches jusqu'à au moins 2017 (Digression numéro 2 : si la période actuelle vous angoisse et que la possibilité de remonter le temps de quelques mois vous tente, <a href="https://www.gog.com/game/blade_runner" hreflang="en" title="le jeu Blade Runner enfin disponible sur Good Old Games (GOG.com)">j'ai exactement ce qu'il vous faut</a>, mais à vous de voir si c'était vraiment mieux avant)<sup>[<a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/oskurlafaktur-part-vi-everyone#pnote-586-1" id="rev-pnote-586-1">1</a>]</sup>.</p>
<p lang="en">On behalf of my artistic practice, I've paid attention to the notion of signature quite early on, and follow the same rituals ever since my teens. Unavoidable digression: who are those people with GIANT signatures on the front of their work and why??? While I deem it quite important to provide context to your creations, there's no need for it to be on the frontline, whether that's a big scribble or your gilded embossed megagiant flourished monogram for that matter. I'm equally fine with visually hiding such things in the picture, loosing them underneath the frame mat or just having them on the back. End of digression. What I meant was that even blogging has had me develop a signature of sorts, which has nothing to do with style, but rather with the frequency of my posts. An uninteresting detail to the overlooker but to me, it has been invaluable in providing a few milestones I'm loath to miss, or at the very least never doing so without a little dose of regret. But that's a good thing! I've done too many abandoned blog urbex to not have vowed to not be that person. Let's rewind back to 2017 (Digression n°2: for those of you distressed by the current times, <a href="https://www.gog.com/game/blade_runner" hreflang="en" title="Blade Runner 1997 Westwood Studios game finally available on Good Old Games (GOG.com)">I've found a way to time travel to just a few months back</a>, however I cannot guarantee that those were rosier times)<sup>[<a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/oskurlafaktur-part-vi-everyone#pnote-586-1" id="rev-pnote-586-1">1</a>]</sup>.</p>
<p>Ce post sera assez long donc j'ai prévu des liens rapides pour ses diverses parties, si vous souhaitez en couper la lecture. Pour ma part, je ne souhaite pas faire durer cette série plus longtemps car il y a des limites au nombre d'années qu'une série de posts <em>d'un seul voyage</em> devrait passer dans la pile des choses <em>en cours</em>, n'est-ce-pas. Et clairement elle a été passée <em>il y a un bout de temps</em>.</p>
<p lang="en">This post is quite the lengthy one, so I've planned a few quick links to its various parts to be read in multiple installments if you feel like it. As far as I'm concerned, this serie has overspent its time by *several months* to still be on the current post list for *just the one trip*, so I've bundled up all I could in this one finale.</p>

<p>Il est temps d'aborder une sortie de route moins dramatique que la première. Il est rare que l'Islande offre une route transversale accessible au grand public, la route circulaire qui ceint l'île étant généralement la plus effective pour se déplacer sur de longues distances. Néanmoins une fois arrivés complètement à l'est, notre prochaine étape se situait pour une fois dans les terres, aller se fondre dans les nuages de touris-- de moucherons de Mývatn. Nous avons donc bifurqué vers le nord-ouest rejoindre nos nouveaux quartiers à 300€ la nuit ou quelque chose dans le genre, dans la plus pure tradition islandaise.</p>
<p lang="en">Time to dwelve into another escapade from the main road, though not as dramatic as— you know the one. There aren't so many crossroads in Iceland for the general public equipped with normal cars, as usually the circular road on the coasts of the country is the fastest option available for long distances. Yet once we reached the (central point of the) far east, the next stop was for once a lake region in the back country, where we were to join the swarms of touris-- of midges of Mývatn. So we turned north-west, soon reaching our next lodgings at probably 300€ a night or something in what is alas typical icelandic style.</p>

<p>La curiosité locale, ce sont les dimmuborgirs, ces immenses formations de lave. En 2017, elles avaient encore cette aura unique associée au phénomène Game of Thrones, ce que l'on pourrait comparer à la sensation de visiter Hyst-- Wysteria Lane en pleine folie Desperate Housewives.</p>

<h2>Fin</h2>
<p>Je dois avouer que ces temps-ci, se mettre à ce billet a été encore plus difficile du fait que j'ai UN NOUVEL ORDI depuis février et suis tombée dans une spirale infernale de jeux vidéo (alors certes, je dis ça alors que j'écris ce post depuis l'ancien mac avec en arrière-plan le Samorost 2 de 2005 en Flash sur Safari, mais eh, on n'est pas à une contradiction près). Mais bon sang ! Ces personnages aux trajectoires de déplacement parfaites ! Ces écrans de chargement qui prennent des secondes au lieu de minutes ! Je rattrape en quelques semaines une <em>décennie</em> de bugs et de ralentissements extrêmes (cela fait plusieurs années que je suis en dessous des specs minimum pour les jeux récents, <em>et ça se paie</em>). La migration n'est pas totalement achevée notamment car j'ai moitié moins de place sur le disque, un problème auquel je compte bien remédier parce que c'est hors de question de revenir à l'époque minable où j'externalisais une partie de mes fichiers. Et je rachèterais un chargeur au type sur le Bon Coin qui les répare et les renforce bien comme il faut, parce que j'aurais voulu connaître ce hack de vie avant.</p>
<p>Je ne dis pas que je n'ai pas repris l'illustration, loin de là, mais ce que j'ai laissé en plan l'année dernière, entamé ou non, était tellement… embourbé. Regrets IV : avoir tenté de renouer avec le grand format alors que mon bureau est plus petit et plus encombré que jamais, mon dos ne me remercie pas.</p>
<p lang="en">To be honest, writing blog posts hasn't been very high on my priority list since february, because that's when I got myself A NEW LAPTOP which has apparently set free my ever strong gaming dispositions (I'm still writing this post from the old compie with Samorost 2, a browser flash game from 2005 playing in the background but oh well). No but think of it! Characters running smoothly! Loading screens that take seconds not minutes! It's a whole new world so cut me some slack, I have a decade of bug and lag to make up for (I've been playing under the minimal specs for years now with some games, and while it's doable, the price is high mind you). Migrating from one system to another is going to require some additional steps though — I have only half my former disk space and since I'm not going back to external drives ever, and found I couldn't just swap them between my two laptops I believe some shopping is in order. Also I think I'm going to get another, sturdier charger from a guy I found who repairs and reinforce them properly, a life hack I wish I'd known sooner.</p>
<p lang="en">Now I'm not saying I gave up on illustration, far from it, but what I left behind me last year was really messy so progress is extra slow. Regrets IV: attempting to get back to large pieces when my small home work desk is not up to the task, doesn't do much good for my back.</p>
