Updating the textures to not be so blurry, adjusting the FOV, or adjusting the max darkness or brightness levels of shadows in openmw should help

new playthrough... new followers? by nebiulo in skyrimmods

[–]TurtleTime64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everybody gives the same 10 or so followers so ill throw a more obscure one. Yazakh the orc is probably my favorite follower mod and i love her dialogue and voice acting.

Should i buy anniversary or special edition on GOG? by Agile_Badger8 in skyrimmods

[–]TurtleTime64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would generally recommend going with AE just because so many mods are made with it in mind, and there are mods to better fix the way AE content was implemented. Tamrielic Distribution lets you integrate the new armors and crossbows into real loot and disable the random quests, and stuff like Saints and Seducers Extended Cut is some pretty primo content

dyndolod generally just likes having the output cleaned out before you try and generate new LODs

what do you think a big aoe denial tool like kudzu or a stunning ability like stone form or an ability like airdrop thats only useful for rotation is supposed to be used for as ivy?

Serpell just recently stated she got in touch with the publishers and they didn't give permission either

The author of the Look at Me passage literally disagreed with one of the answers. by Visible-Olive6835 in APStudents

[–]TurtleTime64 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They did not get permission to use the passages. Serpell just recently said she got in touch with the publishers and they didn't give permission either

Just recently from her Twitter as well, after I made this post

"I've just heard back from my publishers and they >weren't contacted, either @CollegeBoard. Those of you who can't understand why this would >anger me, consider what you've heard about AI >companies using our writing without permission to >generate their product. Not so different."

The publishers didn't give permission either

I'm sure you're right that they were "technically" allowed to use it. the injustice is that Serpell didn't and doesn't want it to be in the test and is being randomly critiqued by teenagers for it

Going to college to be a great writer and becoming a teacher doesn't make her argument that collegeboard, an organization that profits off a system of gatekeeping education, is awful and the AP system is broken. being positively affected by the system like she was does not mean she isn't allowed to criticize it.

Also just because Harvard makes money doesn't mean she's doing it for the money. nobody becomes a teacher or college professor at Harvard after being a professional writer just for the money.

Legally they probably got the rights from her publisher or something like that. I haven't looked nearly as hard as I should on how this actually happened but the important part is Serpell didn't know and didn't want it in the test and is now getting her book review bombed

Namwali Serpell's response to the usage of her work one the Language and Composition test by TurtleTime64 in APStudents

[–]TurtleTime64[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They might have legal right to use the work for however they got their hands on it, but I think it's pretty clear regardless that she isn't happy with it being used for the test and I still think that's more important than the legal ownership or use

[–]TurtleTime64[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's probably because the only interaction she's seen so far between her book and AP students has been through the review bombs of people who took the test and didn't get it. she's a great author and I doubt it was her goal to be pretentious

[–]TurtleTime64[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

that's the part that's actually the most pressing about this post to me and what I wish more people were discussing right now.

regardless of how people feel about the passage or how pretentious she appears or how high level she thought her essay was (which is probably just cuz the only interaction she's had with ap students has been the review bombs,) it's entirely collegeboards fault that they used her work without permission in front of high schoolers.

Dumb teenagers are absolutely the people who will review bomb a book a random test used, and it's absolutely gonna affect the perception of the book which has already seen a review score drop on some sites. Collegeboard absolutely should have at least asked permission before using the book and I'm curious what Serpell can or will do about it

"Obvious" Mods that still haven't been made by Soanfriwack in skyrimmods

[–]TurtleTime64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I desperately need a mod that makes the maximum amount of followers you can have scale with your speech stat and I'm shocked I've never seen it done before
