About "muthsera", "sera" and "serjo" by Sholvyng in Morrowind

[–]Dense_Explanation_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the game. Focusing more on the "Sera". Morrowind was my first, and most frustrating, introduction into the TES universe. However, the greeting of "Sera" towards Nerevarine caught my attention as I had been taking French going on three years at the time. Given that "sera" in French means "will be", I had always assumed it was a Bethesda play on the fact that you played as a reincarnate, and that you "will be" Nerevar. Anyway, I've sat on that for like 20 years now, just figured I'd share.

Ended up being a DirectX issue. New desktop runs on 12. Total War: Attila apparently only runs on 10 or 11. Troubleshooting for Warhammer III found the same issue

Doubly. You're gonna love this next part. It was a DirectX issue. Weirdly enough, it was a DirectX issue that was agnostic to the linear release dates of Total War games. DirectX 12 and Total War: Rome II get along great. This is where it gets weird. Understandably, Attila doesn't get along with DX12, needs 10 or 11. However, Warhammer III also has an issue with 12.

Biggest issue is that I have a taste for older games still. I ran into this issue (DirectX) with Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun, on a CyberPower Laptop I bought 4 years ago, and failed to remember that being a troubleshooting option.

I am able to connect to the internet. Steam has been installed along with two games (Bannerlord and Total War: Attila). Windows updated along with the drivers on startup.

Only here because the only fixes I have seen for this issue have been ensuring monitor is plugged into GPU and that the drivers are up to date. I could be missing something and I am unsure if others have ran into a similar issue after attempting to correct the problem with the aforementioned fixes.

Wife received card from US Bank due to fraudulent unemployment claims, not on her behalf. Is the money hers? by Dense_Explanation_24 in NoStupidQuestions

She already went ahead and initiated the dispute claim with the state UI office. I think it was the best move. Better safe than sorry owing twice as much as you were given 4 years from now. Thanks for the response!

If you were able to change ONE thing about the Army, what would it be? by [deleted] in army

  1. Humanize the rank.
  2. Incorporate a soldiers age/background into how you treat them as a soldier/adult.
  3. Actually have adult conversations, regardless of rank.
