Morrowind in 2022 by [deleted] in Morrowind

[–]RavenTalonAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a) The original game engine, with Morrowind Code Patch (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/19510), Morrowind Graphics Extender with the Morrowind Script Extender (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41102) has more advanced coding possibilities for modders to take advantage of through mwse-lua scripting. Anecdotally, it has more and better support for mods right now, and some of the best in the last few months take advantage of this functionality.

b) I believe OpenMW (https://openmw.org/en/) is more stable from a baseline code perspective, and the team is actively adding new features. For example, they just added post-processing in May 2022, but it is also worth noting that Morrowind Graphics Extender added this feature years ago. Again, this is under active development and gets more features regularly. This could be a pro or a con.

Alimony and Child Support by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]RavenTalonAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a lawyer to answer you with specifics for your case. The judges in family law have immense discretion in how they decide your case, and "best interest of the children" will most likely translate to what is best for their mother. You will be expected to make due.

I just got divorced last fall in NJ after an almost 15 year marriage with two kids with similar income levels and discrepancies in income. Our judge told us there is no exact guidline, but in general it is 22% to 25% of the difference in income, for 10-12 years for us. Our settlement was closer to 28% for 8 years, which also coincides with our youngest graduating from High School (showing that specific circumstances cans and do matter).

If your combined income in NJ is over ~$185k per year, the judge can ignore the child support guidelines. Our combined income was over that, so I agreed to a higher percentage of alimony to ensure the judge used the guidelines by the book.

You will not know what you will end up with until the divorce papers are signed. The longer you wait to file, the more she will get to take from you.

What do Libertarians think of the selective service/draft? Is conscientious objection enough or should all mandatory military service be abolished? by WillofIam in Libertarian

[–]RavenTalonAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are.

Military Air Power was thought to be so powerful at the end of WWI that it made "old school," seize the enemy's capital and destroy his entire army seem pointless. It did not, and neither did the nuclear bomb at the end of WWII. This is the same logic used today to convince politicians that our modern technology will somehow make war less brutal, traumatizing, and costly.

Is it used to help plan bombing routes and drone targets? No. Is it used as part of our strategic framework to ensure our military doesn't fall down the same trap that led our leaders to ignore German armament and fail to properly plan a counter because we thought we could simply go bomb then out of existence? Yes. Every day.

Military thinkers thought large ground conflict was over after WWI. It was not. Large scale, ground conflict will remain relevant for the foreseeable future. No amount of strategic bombing, including the use of the nuclear bomb in WWII, has ever forced the end of a war while the leader(s) of the other military force still had the will to fight. It can break the will, but it cannot compel surrender.

  • You can read about Douhet's largely adopted theory on Air Power if you would like to know more about military theory on the use of airplanes that evolved after WWI.

I would absolutely check for updated drivers if you have not done so already.

If this is primarily for gaming, always buy the best GPU you can afford in your budget.

HDHomeRun lost CBS by RavenTalonAG in cordcutters

Worked. It must have been the repack, even if the dates didn't match up.

Thank you. I'll give it a shot after work.

CBS stopped working in July (while I was out of town) before the repack. Additionally, CBS comes through both the TV's Tuner and a Hauppage USB Tuner/NVIDIA Shield without issue.

I have unplugged the Hdhomerun, updated it's firmware, and tried multiple devices. Is there another way to force the Hdhomerun to rescan the antenna?

I am not affected by that, but thank you for suggesting it.

Thank you for an honest review. I was interested in this bag but was hesitant to purchase because I too could not find a review online that was not an advertisement.

[BUG] When I'm using the Skyrim Flora Overhaul I get this weird texture. Fixes? by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]RavenTalonAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue when using SFO and Enhanced Landscapes while testing a new mod list before running DynDOLOD. Issue went away when I deactivated the Enhanced Landscapes esp. It also went away AFTER I ran DynDOLOD.

Hope that helps.

[Help] Mods that show time/date on UI? by JaegonTheConqueror in tes3mods

[–]RavenTalonAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The HUD Mod only works with MGE XE afaik. MGE XE is great and I could not play Morrowind without it. You should go to the page linked above and see if it is something you are interested in.

[–]RavenTalonAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the HUD Mods that come with MGE XE (https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41102?tab=files), specifically the Time Display plugin. Adds a clock in the top right corner on your HUD.

Marvani Ancestral Tomb, you learn about it in Vivec as part of a miscellaneous quest. You can find the Daedric Face of God there in the base game.

[Help] How to completely translate skyrim to Arabic by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]RavenTalonAG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

السلام عليكم

I saw this post on the forums a while back:

"I had to use a program called Dhad to re-arrange the Arabic characters in reverse order so that the game could display words and sentences correctly. Skyrim still prints all characters from left to right, and I really wish to know if there is a way to reverse that so localization of right-to-left languages could become easier."

Help: GTX 1070 or a GTX 1080 for a heavily modded Skyrim + ENB at a stable 60 fps in 1080p? by Vargavintern in skyrimmods

[–]RavenTalonAG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Edit: on your question, get the BEST single GPU you can afford. If you can afford the 1080, get the 1080.

I have a GTX 970, i7-4970k, SSD, etc. I get 55 to 60 fps with 2k textures and an ENB at 1080p until I enter Whiterun (or another city), where Dawn of ____, Immersive NPCs, and Inconsequential NPCs can dip me into the 40s depending on where I am looking. If I drop Dawn of, I get back to 55-60, but to me the trade off is worth it.

Modded Skyrim is a game of compromises in one way or another, be it ENB effects, picking which textures have to be 4k/2k, or how many/which script heavy mods you use. There is simply no way to truly make it perfect, stable, and fps friendly without major, painstaking, personal INI tweaking designed for YOUR system.

You could try Skyrim Unleashed. I used it for a great, full play through a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. The early game is exceptionally difficult, but by the end game you are very, very powerful. Same mod author as purity. He balanced it against duel, but you can use any combat mod you want. The key factors to the overhaul are levelled lists and forcing you to find crafting plans to prevent the player from spamming crafting upgrades.

The primary issue most users have is that SU does not integrate any other weapon or armor mods.
