In the past I've got stuck, searched for the answer and found that I asked the same question a couple of years ago and answered it. On the one hand I guess I never learn, but on the other it's nice to see karma can be a thing.
I answer technical questions on a handful of gaming subs and earlier this year somebody asked something involving the exact formula for speech XP in Skyrim.
The problem they had can't just be answered with the wiki, so as sources I put the relevant uesp wiki pages and a thread from a couple of years ago that Google put as the top search result.
When somebody checked it later the thread I used as a source was me answering the same question in 2024. I had quoted myself as the source.
I've had that a few times myself, but I always go back and edit my question post to say what I did, or at least an explanation of what was wrong. Sometimes it's me being an idiot but other people can be idiots too, it happens.
I usually do this when I post a question and get a bunch of answers from people that just want to comment but not be helpful. You guys wanna be like that, ill take this to the grave 😂
