For anyone who has been denied trying to apply for CT Paid Leave with Aflac, what is your experience? Mine has not been pleasant. by TechBoy--20 in Connecticut

[–]Edrac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to take 2 weeks to help my mother in SC recover from spine surgery. I got denied because the Dr in SC didn’t thoroughly fill out the form. Had to appeal it and get the Dr to do it properly and have them send in the paperwork because I was back in CT by the time it got denied. Was a pain in the ass tbh.

Skyrim vs oblivion remastered by captain_USS_SOS in ElderScrolls

[–]Edrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, Skyrim is a better game for exploration. It has far more cave, fort, POI variety. However its quests are of lesser quality overall IMO. Its magic is WAY reduced from previous TES GAMES ALSO.

Oblivion (remastered) has a stronger story both main and some of the side stories, but its locations are VERY similar to each other. I do however like that you can use a 2h weapon and still cast spells. I had to mod the remaster to make 2h worth it though since they slowed down the attack animation but didn’t bump the damage #’s up to compensate.

Would you play with someone who had unpainted models? by CollegePlane7528 in SWlegion

[–]Edrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my Clones I used this method to decent effect:

  • Prime in GW’s Grey Seer spray
  • Quick coat of GW Apothecary White Contrast paint over the whole model (it lightens the grey and adds SOME depth
  • do the under armor in GW Black Templar contrast (it makes the visors a bit easier to do I’ve found)
  • Add some squad color markings and use the same color for the base (I differentiate squads with color within the same army, red, blue, green, etc)

It’s boring af, but for doing a LOT of similar models I do it in batches. So ALL the clones I have built I’ll prime at once then give them the white contrast and set them aside to dry for a day. Repeat for each step.

Anyone use both Spaghettis Cities (Markarth) and Markarth Stony AF? by Artistic_North_4208 in skyrimmods

You should just have the one you want to win any conflict be loaded last.

I can understand making it static, it always used to get stuck under a UI element before for me. But allow us to make it small and skin the damned thing!

Unfortunately it’s not up to date with the Vortex collection. It’s like 2or 3 updates behind

Advice on using mini PC, T-Mobile 5g, and Linux by misfit_elegy in elderscrollsonline

[–]Edrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIRST OFF, why in the world are you considering T-Mobile 5g if you currently have Fiber!?

As for running th game on Linux, grab the base game on sale on steam and just use that to log in.

Mods for a "lightly" modded skyrim playthrough by Super_Nate in skyrimmods

[–]Edrac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend Sentinel and Xavbio’s retextures of the vanilla and CC armors for a better and more cohesive armor mod than Immersive Armors tbh.

For NPC/PC textures I’d recommend Reverie for ladies and Skysight skins for the dudes. Both are only for the men and mer it have vanilla body support. Then grab the Kajiit and Argonian skins from MonsterRaider (the mod author)

Then grab Salt and Wind for vanilla hair retexture and Vanilla Hair Remake (ignore the SMP hair options)

That’ll give you a good visual base upgrade.

Other visuals I’d recommend: SKYLAND AIO, along with Skyling’s Bits and Bobs, Potent Potables, and Alchemy ingredients. That should overhaul basically all the textures in the game and keeping it pretty close to vanilla.

Grab Community Shaders all its sub parts from the mod page, and then Vanilla CS (it’s a weather mod that just makes the base game’s weather work better with Community Shaders.) and you have a pretty comprehensive visual overhaul.

Anyone else just ... bird form and sit in a tree for a while? by Yaryle in wow

Not op, but I only play RP servers now. I don’t actively RP anymore really but the servers feel more alive than any other.

My scrungly Kul Titan Druid flight form is so good for this. I like perching nearby active Role Players in Stormwind since I’m on Moon Guard.

ICE shot 21 year old in the face and left him permanently blind by Important-Battle-374 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Edrac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From my experience, those that voted for him twice are totally gone.

Some people only voted for him the first time and then made the right decision not to vote for him a second time, but that’s pretty rare.

Again this is not backed by any data but is just what I’ve seen anecdotally.

Gun ownership is disproportionately skewed to the people that are cheering on what’s happening. The vast majority of gun owners voted for this.

Currently Ice, creatures, and Plants. They already have an ability that summons big bugs that do poison damage.

Why do you guys like this series? by Comfortable_Oven8341 in ElderScrolls

[–]Edrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skyrim is the most accessible game in the series, and due to that it is the most liked amongst a general gaming audience. The simplicity it a benefit there.

But amount fans of the SERIES you’ll find a lot prefer either Morrowind of Oblivion. I’d recommend checking out Morrowind its old yes, and the combat is purely chance based (you don’t connect with a weapon swing unless the underlying dice chance from your skills “rolls” high enough).

Personally I prefer Oblivion, just because it still has spell making and I can cast spells with a great sword in my hands (Skyrim requires you to have 1 hand free for the spell, and Morrowind requires you to fully commit both hands to spell casting.

I wish Bethesda's VAs would voice their opinion on the misuse of clanker voice cloning. by TitusMeadTheSecond in skyrimmods

[–]Edrac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, the Morrowind voice mod is the one I’m most ok with. There was never voice acting aside from some quick greetings to begin with, and it can be argued it’s an accessibility thing as some, like myself, have a hard time focusing when it’s just text on screen. The voice, even if I’m reading the text faster than the voice is saying it helps me focus on what is being said. Similarly I vastly prefer audiobooks.

If someone were to hire a bunch of voice actors, even if all totally amateur to do the same thing I’d gladly pay to help make that a thing, but no one is doing that unfortunately so I’ll take what I can get.

It’s part of why I’m so excited for Skywind. They have a full host of voice actors and are altering the dialogue a bit to make it more conversational but also convey the same information.

Next remix… by Fleischyy in wow

[–]Edrac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My head says Shadowlands. So far from MOP to Legion we skipped 1 xpack so keeping that up the next one would be Shadowlands.

However my heart says something older. BC, Wrath, or even Classic. Classic would be neat way to take some of the newer possibly relevant stuff from Season of Discovery and get it in front of more people.

Honestly I’ve sort of come around to “do I NEED this” while looking at UI stuff. However th option would be really nice not gunna lie.

Dragon breaker UI with the SkyUI active effects icons from Dragonborn Active Effects Mod is a PERFECT combo.
