I spent months modding Skyrim to be as realistic as possible. Nutrition, calories, temperature, disease, frostbite, starvation, injuries, infection, no level scaling, dangerous combat, one life. Took a week to gather and prepare for a dungeon dive.
Frost Troll greeted me when I entered the dungeon. One swipe killed me.
That’s when I learned that the modding was the part I had the most fun with.
We’re finally aware of the joke the rest of the world has always thought we were
Vanity movies, that’s what those are. Thank you for that phrase, it all makes sense now
Learning about science is like learning about magic.
I just reached my mid-40s, and at the same time, I realized that I have been overthinking everything. Nobody cares, and those that do, you shouldn’t care about. Too many missed opportunities because I thought it worried too much and did too little. I think my new outlook may have been influenced by the ever increasing deaths of people around me. Time keeps speeding up, I’ll be dead soon. So will everyone. Do whatever you want, be nice to people, it’ll all be over too soon.
Dwarf Fortress, obviously.
I once modded Skyrim to make hunger, thirst, sleep, wounds, infections, and weather as realistic as possible. Then, from nothing, set out to go dungeon diving. My guy had heard there were untold riches, and being dirt poor, it was going to be his ticket out of squalor. The amount of preperation that was needed took days. I had to build a small camp outside the entrance, catch kill and prepare foods that wouldn’t spoil. Make water skins to store enough water. I may be down there for weeks! Finally ready to go in, I have no idea what to expect, only rumors. It’s very dark (mod), but I made torches. Surprise Frost Troll. Dead. Bethesda update corrupted my modded save, but that’s ok, just another death of no one special in the frozen lands.
Thank you for being on the front lines of the click bait war.
Enshrpuded is a great suggestion. You can ignore quests unless you want to expand your plot. Just pick a plot of land and start farming. Go out into the wild to find new stuff to plant. Unfortunately there’s not much to do with your harvest except to make provisions to go play the rest of the game, but that’s how you find more things to plant. I had a great time designing the layout of my crops.

Oh, well that answered that question. Get your shit together tech bros

Ah, that makes sense.
Google maps knows the speed limit of most roads, why can’t that be used?
This is America, what authorities give a damn about how hot you are? If there was one, I’m sure Musk’n’Trump got rid of them.
Scoffed. They are firm believers that their wealth directly correlates with their intelligence.
Oblivion was the only game that came close to how I felt the first time I stepped out of the dungeon and opened the world map of Daggerfall. I couldn’t stop making new characters that I wanted to explore the world with.
But Oblivion really was something special too. Felt like an alive fantasy world.
