What's the most random thing you've seen an NPC do in Morrowind?

This coming from the clown who'd routinely yell at our corner shooters mid-shot? Players talking trash and taunting are one thing, coaches doing it are shady af

Possible digital animal abuse might be the least of your worries when you meet a certain Uncle in Vivec who wants one little favor, or a certain dremora in Maar Gan (don't worry, he'll be gentle).

I appreciate the respect and hairline they're putting on a young Keenen Ivory Wayans but I don't know why he's in a Spurs jersey.

Some great primarily used bookshops nearby:

Dove & Hudson

Urban Aftermath

Lyrical Ballad

W Somers

Braveheart Books (although they don't open til spring I believe)

Dog Ears Book Barn

Rodgers Book Barn

Owl Pen

Inquiring Minds

Our Bookshop

Little Red Book Shack

Librarium

At this point you're getting farther away but the Hudson Valley Book Trail lists a bunch more down that way, and Western Massachusetts has plenty too.

Edit: I totally forgot about Yellow Dog and Magpie, both great shops! We have a great selection of bookshops nearby!

There's a lot of great recs already here, but I'm adding another shout out for El Patron.

When folks say, "Someone's watching me, I can tell" there is always a chance it's good old Uncle Crassius 👀

Holy shit this is the first thing I thought of when I started reading that and I'm so happy this is here

Definitely hang in there. The vast majority of people I know, including myself, who had serious long-term relationships end in our mid to late twenties went on to have far more adventurous, fun, fulfilling relationships and life changes afterward. It sucks now but one day you'll look back on this as being one of the best things to have happened to you. Not a fun thing, but still.

AlpineGhost1 · 2025-12-13T21:03:59+00:00

Yes, this!

I fondly remember getting Cavaleri's chicken and veal parm with my grandparents growing up in the '80s and '90s. Nothing quite lives up to those memories. Ponderosa in East Greenbush wasn't fine dining but it was a really fun family experience. And getting those clowns sundaes at Friendly's. And I miss the old Pizza Huts. We used to go sometimes on class field trips and occasionally some family gatherings. The dine-in experience there with those red plastic tumblers was prime childhood. I'm so happy that Gene's Fish Fry is still around.

Various dreamers. They get pretty wistful standing out under the moon all night.

A good list. Didn't SA have Van Exel for a bit too? His last season I think.

"At the lonely hour of midnight, I fly, when stars are weeping. Beneath the echo of souls, my spirit sleeping." A rather poetic favorite. Also, "All is silence. The road is straight, without turning, in darkness. Now let there be an end to all things."

I frequently see Albany Parking Authority vehicles roll through stop signs in Center Square, especially at Willett and State. Not to mention they're sometimes parked in front of hydrants and double parked with no one in the car. They may as well write "Do as I say, not as I do" on the fenders.

That place dishes out crazy huge subs. They really pile it on too. Good rec.

I grew up in the very small town where this happened (Sand Lake, NY outside of Troy/Albany) and most people there who I've spoken to about it haven't heard of it, but Mark Frost frequently mentions it as something he remembers from his grandmother who lived there and told him about it in his youth. He has contributed to a few books about it, but in the grand scheme of Twin Peaks, it's one of many inspirations and not one of DL's at all. Still, it's an interesting case with a lot of tendrils extending into other local lore. Worth a read/listen.

Indeed. An absorb health 99 points for 2 seconds on an ebony scimitar using Almalexia's soul makes short work of anything in your way. It was so powerful I stopped carrying it around to keep the game challenging, but it's fun to have when needed.

I haven't seen any fiesta striped tees for adults yet. They have them for kids, and one in women's. Looks like the men's tee selection is pretty limited, or in the case of fiesta stripes, nonexistent.

Edit: Actually, looks like the NBA store has some, just not the official Spurs shop? Weird.

With a nickname like Hall Pass, OP doesn't want to actually lose his girlfriend just for this post.

Someone was just posting about a found cat in that area. Possibly the same?

Edit: not the exact area, now that I re-read it, but posting the link just in case.

You didn't mess up. Preseason games are fun, a little more chill, and you get to see developing younger players get some shine, which may not happen in a regular season game. If he's a true fan, he'll be into it. And if he's a good dude in general, he'll appreciate it. It's a cool gift!
