Are they actually affiliated or do they just receive funding/get used because their direct usefulness to CIA? Like self-hosted Matrix/Signal/Tor.

Is it only in some rooms?

There's a lighting effect (those shimmering ribbons in the egg room) that makes mine struggle too, but turning the graphics down to "good" gets rid of that effect and fixes the issue.

No I don't think an Oblivion style remaster would work. Morrowind is very "pre-modern" in terms of game design conventions.

The closest thing we have is OpenMW which builds in support for high view distances, shadows, water shaders, etc. and mods like graphic herbalism and weapon sheathing.

I'm playing it right now with the aforementioned features, upscaled textures, and optimized meshes and it's a far cry from a modern open world game. The world was clearly designed with a short view distance in mind and the topographic design is archaic and VERY unrealistic.

Vvardenfell is an interesting setting, but it won't feel modern without changes that reach full remake territory. Totally rebuilt topography, no/reduced instancing between buildings and the overworld, modern redesigned dungeons and ambient music to go with them (weird to be trolling a ruin with the triumphant Morrowind theme playing), etc.

I like rocks and minerals (crystals) and also math & geometry so it would be cool to have a tetrahedral (3-sided pyramid) crystal.

Unfortunately, for what I can only assume are woo reasons, rock shops seem to exclusively stock 4-sided pyramids.

I've been feeling a hankering for a game lately that is useful in some way or could help me learn something. Would you recommend house flipper 2?

Doing a 1:1 build of my house seems like a fun "project"

We got tired of daily crush posting I think. Also I regularly got excited because I thought it was cush posting (matt )

Anyone else averse to exhibiting intentionally silly behavoirs in mostly public social environments? (hexbear.net)
 

I noticed a trend in some online interview show recently where hosts ask guests to bark like a dog. I really bristle at that, it would be tough to convince me you don't want to just laugh at me.

I went to Ren Faire for the first time recently, and had a hard time picking an outift to wear because I didn't want to stand out as no-fun, or as being enthusiastic but failing in execution. once I was there of course it was easy to see what an appropriate outfit is.

anyone had similar experiences/thoughts? I realized that I'm averse to being intentionally silly.

it feels like I've had to work hard in my life to not be unintentionally silly or weird (masking), so situations that ask "hey, be weird" leave me very guarded at first.

It's really funny how many small US towns have just 1 (one!) street that's historic, walkable, and pulls in lots of tourist money (hexbear.net)
 

And it's never expanded on. 1 block over there are just parking lots, strip malls, single family homes. So silly. It'll be packed on nice weekends but it's iLlEgAl To bUiLd anything else like it in town. Maybe the (likely powerful) chamber of commerce sees expansion as a threat to their wallets.

watching this movie from 1995 right now, it's pretty good. Iconic, even. CW: everything.

What is with these intros & Outros? (hexbear.net)
 

I'm watching Frieren right now and it's quite good when it's at its best.

That said, while the intro is catchy it has like 3 acts and is this really fast up-beat song, almost hyper-pop? When paired with the outro (a grand ballad that very frequently begets a jarring shift in tone at the episode's end, and beginning) it feels like the actual show only makes up like two thirds of the runtime.

I've been to some areas where the walking trails have recently been taken over by mountain biking* and it's really fucking annoying.

Thinking of coming out of gamer retirement to replay Oblivion (hexbear.net)
 

It's got a great soundtrack and pretty pleasant vibes. Probably be a mage or spellsword.

True Detective Season 2 was not that bad (hexbear.net)
 

I just watched it and I gotta say it was pretty ok, maybe even good.

It's pacing is far more "TV" than Season 1 which feels like an 8 part film, and I was definitely bored through the middle 4 episodes, but overall I think it did have something to say that was well communicated.

Definitely pretty bleak though.

I know how to block IPs in my bittorrent client but how can I know ahead of time which IP addresses are israeli?

Anyone have the 2023 numbers on energy transition spending by country (hexbear.net)
 

These are the 2021 numbers. I have a printout of the 2022 numbers (china 546B, US 141B) but not a digital copy.

This page indicates that the 2023 numbers are out but I can't get access to the report. anyone got the new version of this chart?
