If you're new to Skyrim, or just having problems, and not sure where to begin ... Just ask. All are welcome, If you can grow pubic hair you're already an old fart to someone.

This is just a place to hang, chat, ask questions, and get abused by forum regulars. Feel free to drop by ... We might not have all the answers, but we probably already know the people that do, and we will be happy to help.

Bashing, spamming, self promoting, advertising, and trolling will simply provide us with target practice and make you look really lame. Please leave politics and religion at the door as well.

Personal attacks against forum guests based on country, race, ethnicity, and lifestyle preferences will not be tollerated in any way ... Period, and we will be enforcing the moderators rules around here ... Period

Keep it clean (mostly) While the game is listed as mature, a lot of the people aren't
Keep it civil (always) arguing a little is fine, just keep it friendly

Move over young ones ... Gramps moved back in.

I mentioned this in discord, but I guess with how dead things are I can mini rant here. I'm really missing Xcom2. I put myself on a mini forced Vacation so I can let Gopher finish the live stream without spoiling it. Only I find myself in withdrawal over the combat stress. I popped back into my minecraft world and opened up two additional 50X50 quads in my newest mine. I ran into lava, then a swarm of Silverfish and my only thought was "Do I want scrambled or an omelete?" I may find it difficult to get back into Skyrim ... the world is too ... Tame.

Looks better than vanilla skyrim at least. Pushing my GPU to its limits, But so worth it. Just an FYI this time around I had no issues with Nvidia drivers getting a solid modded oblivion up and running. Just starting to do the usual testing and patching. I was surprised how many new mods there has been for oblivion, I found about 10 or so interesting ones from this year alone.

which GPU do you have? :o

980m, But its just the mods, Not much different than Skyrim, Its just oblivion needs more things changed. It plays smooth, And the exhaust ports keep the coffee warm :)

LOL! Skyrim is a leisurely stroll in the park admiring the scenery - with the occasional swatting of pesky flies and other bothersome things

For fun I opened up an old 256gb ssd I wasn't using.

Much like the bag of chips, Its mostly air:

Because, if people are going to spend money on something, they want something noiticeable - they need the BANG to let them know that there is actually something there (because, unfortunately, for most people, their heads are like a bag of chips - mosrtly air).

You are making me hungry, for a chippy dinner As a Brit to me Chips means Fries, there is a historical reason, but it's rather boring

[BarbarianHeart]

To us uncouth Yanks, chips mean crisps, so say "chips" around us too many times and we get hungry too.

I know, I have holidayed in Florida, so I have come across American Chips.
But I really want a Chippy Dinner, now followed by a big bag of Doritos or Kettle Chips (why they aren't called Kettle Crisps when some of them are made in the UK is beyond me)

Sometimes I think, I should just abandon threads where the people cant even answer the easy copy-pasta questions of me (•﹏•)

When I studied in college in my twenties, I did so with the intention of becoming a librarian. So my major was English Literature, specifically 1800's British Literature. Over the years I've fallen in love with the differences between American English and British English. Crisps, Chips (what we would call chips and potato wedges here in the south), Vacation, Holiday, etc. I love that the British have had a very long time to perfect the insult, and use them on occasion. lol

Goooood morning Tamriel!

Turdas the 13th of Sun's Dusk. The blessed moons have set and the paths are closed. Avrie is glad the bitter winds have died down again, his fur is not as thick as in his youth. Brew of the day is Columbian Narino single origin with my usual touches. Might as well jump straight to the hot sheets... 12 new, 7 are bimbette/beef/accessories, and 2 are specific patches. Lets look at what remains ...

Honerable mentions to Minimalist Breezehome by Lana Yarosh, and Flame Atronach Revised by PsychoSlammer for publishing thie first mods though the later putting large breasts and bottom on a flame atronach makes Avrie want to ask if thios one is old enough to actually play the game.

Ultimate Spinning Arrows SE by Palistov Nofumasa ported by rzhaka
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21210
I've never tried this mod. Makes arrows spin in flight. For immesion evidently... I might have to give it a try at some point.

Qaxe's Windcaller Tower for SSE by QaxeIsKaze
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21218
adds an interior space under one of the towers in High Hrothgar. very minimalist, a bed, a few chests, a few mannequins, a few weapon racks, and and enchanting and alchemy bench.

And that's all there is today. Bchick3 has made the appropriate offerings to DJ so we are not doomed today. I think I may visit the mines again this morning. I'm still in withdrawal from Xcom. The fires are stoked, the kettles scrubbed and the floors are swept. Have a seat by the fire and warm your bones. We-B-Open!

I played Guild Wars with an older british lady who ran my guild and we had a pretty fun time despite our different versions of English. I may have picked up a few euphemisms from her lol.
