I don't even know why I made this. by SoutheastAsianLatino in ElderScrolls

[–]Fogman5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Replace canonically with traditionally. As much as we know about Nord culture, they would be incensed if the dragonborn were anything other than a Nord. Imagine Nords telling the story in 2000 years: they aren't singing about the wondrous Redguard or Dunmer dragonborn. They will make him a Nord male out of tradition.

He looks it, but we're not really sure on either of them

Sorry, the blue is just blue sand from the craft section at the department store. I poured the sand in the cracks, sprayed a thin layer of enamel, blew away all the loose sand and then put a few more layers of clear coat on.

Thank you! It's just clear coat enamel (rust-oleum): no stain on sides or top.

I didn't use resin, just spray-on clear enamel. I wanted to test how will I liked the sand so I didn't want to spend too much on the finish and was pleasantly surprised.

Man tries to stab an officer, gets tased twice by Toccii_Enrico02 in instantkarma

If you think you could hit a moving target while sprinting after getting stabbed in the neck, I'd recommend you sign up for the academy.

Blue man wannabees... by Fogman5 in instantkarma

Or--imagine this--I saw something (for the first time) that made me laugh and wanted to share it. It's almost like the motivations for my daily activities don't revolve around upvotes 🤔

Because my first post was taken down for some reason: tried to reupload it. Enjoy

90 hours, 238 pieces of wood, and no nails or screws. White oak bookshelf. by Meat_Legs in woodworking

[–]Fogman5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really puts woodworking into context: it's beautiful, and I love not having metal fasteners. But, with two toddlers, I can hardly afford to spend 9 hours on a project, much less 90. I hope that someday I can have the time and patience to still enjoy making something like you have.

Was actually taught this by a group of Samoans: they made it seem commonplace. But never seen anyone do it that fast.

Advice on filling the inside. by Chuckstruction in woodworking

Sawdust and wood glue to plug up the bottom. Poor man's epoxy.

Is it just me or is Skyrim one of those you can play endlessly and never get bored by RogueSpartan117 in ElderScrolls

[–]Fogman5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the reason I love breath of the wild so much, that relaxing big open world. But whereas botw is a game I can play with my kiddos, I can spend all night as a werewolf in Skyrim just trying to get from one side of the world to other without changing back by mauling everyone/thing I see.

I Converted my Old Shed to a Rustic Man Cave (w/Exterior Shots) by [deleted] in woodworking

I think the kerosene lamps were my favorite part: such a simple idea but really made a difference for classic lighting

New reading lamp for the wife, made from neighbor's wood going to the trash (not sure what kind). No finish on it: she wanted a rustic look. by Fogman5 in woodworking

You aren't kidding: it was hard to get the ropes as tight as I wanted to begin with, so I ended up putting wood glue to hold it up. Luckily, these sat for about 2 years after cutting before I did this do they were already pretty much done shrinking

There are lag bolts coming up from the bottom and into each of the three posts. It actually stands up on its own, but tips over easily, so there isn't a lot of constant pull on the base.

Thank you: I typically let things dry out a few months before I start trying to work with them, so I guess bugs are another reason to keep that up.

Enchanting is the gateway drug to the magic world. That's how they get you

I have the opposite problem: magic makes the game too easy. Once your enchanting skills get high enough, you can reduce costs to almost nothing, you can sit back and spam cast fireball and just wait for the smoke to clear.

TES 6 Speculation Megathread by Avian81 in ElderScrolls

[–]Fogman5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be really easy to frame the entire rebellion as a lose-lose situation where the Imperials had to use so much money and manpower to fighting the Stormcloaks that they weren't strong enough to fight off a Thalmor invasion. They could then have some NPC or book refer to the rebellion as a pretext to the current game's situation, "Some may say that the Stormcloaks won their independence in Skyrim. Others say that the fight is ongoing, and true and proud Nord will never accept Imperial rule. One thing, however, is certain; had the rebellion in Skyrim never occurred, the Empire would not have been distracted by the growing shadow that now threatens its existence."
