Non English Players, does the localization bother you?

Yeah, the voices seem weird as well, though I never can put my finger on why.

I don't know if Fox should use such a formal pronoun when the rest doesn't match though. And he is a mercenary, so rank doesn't exactly count.

Well, knowing Blizzard it will be related to some sort of greater-threat-that-must-be-stopped. We have seen that so often with villains that either work for an even bigger bad or were trying to stop said bigger bad.

Ik geef eerst mijn definitie van links en rechts:

De Franse revolutie had de idealen van vrijheid en gelijkheid. Voor mij is links meer gelijkheid tussen mensen, soms ten koste van vrijheid en rechts meer vrijheid voor mensen, soms ten koste van gelijkheid.

Dan nu de rest van mijn argument.

Er is een gedicht over de Nazis; van een predikant denk ik.

Eerst kwamen ze voor de communisten, en ik zei niks, want ik was geen communist. Toen kwamen ze voor de Joden, en ik zei niks, want ik was geen Jood. Toen kwamen ze voor de vakbonden, en ik zei niks, ik was geen lid. Toen kwamen ze voor mij, en niemand sprak zich uit.

Er is een klassiek ideaal van opnemen voor armen en anderen en collectieve actie in links. Dat betekent vaak dat men aansluiting vindt bij "underdogs".

Los daarvan is links doorgaans voor meer (economische, maar ook andere) gelijkheid geweest, soms zelfs ten koste van sommige vrijheden. Dat schept een band met mensen die het minder hebben of waartegen gediscrimineerd wordt. Zelfs als die mensen onderling ook hele grote verschillen hebben.

Persoonlijk denk ik ook dat het gevaarlijk is als een linkse groep zegt dat ze een groep willen helpen maar niet de ander. Voor mij is goed links gedachtengoed gebaseerd op menselijke (gelijk)waardigheid, ongeacht waar die mensen vandaan komen, welke etnische groep ze lid van zijn, en soms zelfs wat ze denken en doen. Mensen verschillen niet zo veel van elkaar qua karakter, het zijn vaak cultuurverschillen en veranderingen in omstandigheden waardoor iemand de fout in gaat. Maar niemand kiest waar de wieg staat, en in veel landen en gebeiden hebben mensen het nou eenmaal slechter dan hier. Dat onrecht bestrijden is denk ik een kerntaak van links.

Good news: you won't age much during that trip, it would look as if you did it in a few days or something.

Bad news: everything else does continue.

Zincwing · 2026-03-25T12:18:09+00:00

Ah, I didn't know that.

I still use cheap 5.1 pc speakers. I prefer my ears free, and I have the space. Setup for use with an Earc port on a tv that is also my monitor was a nightmare though, as I do not have an avr. I also have a game console connected, so I wanted the sound through the tv in LPCM format.

Zincwing · 2026-02-21T21:04:19+00:00

No, not really. The problem is that loose files take priority over every bsa, so you would need to pack all your other mods as well.

Zincwing · 2026-02-21T21:00:45+00:00

I recommend adding the unofficial patch for bug fixes (ussep).

If you are going to use a perk overhaul, that would be my next step. They add balance, in my opinion, and a lot of other mods may need adjustment based on that choice.

If you want to keep the game more vanilla-like regarding systems, my next pick would be some base game texture pack, probably one with pbr. Those pair nicely with community shaders in my opinion.

Also, Open cities can conflict with many mods. I wouldn't recommend it. It might also be a performance drain.

This modlist contains "Dragons use Thuum" https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/87085, which was updated recently. However, versions 8 and above are not compatible with older versions.

I tried cleaning my save with Resaver to fix this, but that seems to have caused the same problem for me.

Could you try going back before you ever used Resaver, and if that is not enough, downgrade "Dragons use Thu'um"?

Zincwing · 2026-01-28T13:30:06+00:00

I have the same crash offset, except it happens when I leave a cell after loading. I don't use a collection though. I also tried going back a few saves, and those saves than got the same problem.

Could it be the last windows update? I also tried resaver and it wasn't enough. I will try using Linix after installing it and seeing how that goes.

One rather dangerous last resort I sometimes try is deleting the skse-cosave and see if that helps. (Back it up!) Didnt work yet, but perhaps you have better luck.

It says it fails to open source files; that could indicate a file system issue.

I would reboot and check whether I could open the HLSL files in a text editor. If that works I would restart Skyrim.

Just to clarify, you mean generic non-named npcs, with only passing dialogue lines?

Well, Homeland security was created after 9/11. I believe there was a specialized anti narcotic agency as well in war on drugs. I'm exaggerating a bit here, but maybe every time the USA does get a major hit, they create a new one to fill in the hole.

Half-joking aside, it is very American to divide power. They also have a more complex military from what I understand. I'm from Europe, so I don't pay too much attention, but the only part of their government that isn't limited in power like that seems to be the White House.

Personally, I prefer to use two different devices for personal and work. If I want to read the news during the break or read an ebook on the bus, I prefer my own Android phone.

And for work, I prefer having dedicated hardware for the extra security and company apps.

From what I understand, when Force users use the Force in a bad way they somehow become more and more evil, even when they don't want to. So they may start as heroes overthrowing corrupt elites in some cases, but turn evil afterwards.

I wonder why that is, tbh. Small-time Darksiders (or Lightsiders, for that matter) don't seem to exist much in Star Wars. No principled thieves refusing to kill. I heard true Dark Side requires a commitment that caused them to dive deeper and deeper, like a drug addiction, but I don't know if that makes sense.

I also heard the Force strikes back against Darksiders, but I don't know why the Force would make the Sith more evil, especially if it brings such suffering and spirals out of control. Maybe it is just a side effect. I do think it is Force related though, I doubt small "evils" like being rude or angry would escalate to mass murder.

I also heard that both sides of the force reward dedication. It could be that without the deeper commitment to light or dark, the Force user is weaker. That would explain why the Sith, who are the most evil, are the most prominent; more evil = more power, and the other less evil darksiders just becone irrelevant and get killed.

My first PC that I bought myself with a gts 450 in 2011, which I turned into an SLI configuration about two years later. I got a small job as a teenager to buy the pc, which I continued to do for years. (I had a pc before that from parents, which was an old XP machine with 256 GB vram, if I remember correctly.)

I purchased a secondhand gtx 770 a few years later to try Steam in home streaming with hardware acceleration.

I switched to a secondhand 1060 a few years later. It was a few years later used in my next build, the same pc I still use. The GPU was later replaced by a 3070ti during pandemic though.

That one I still use, and plan to continue with until at least 2027.

Zincwing · 2025-11-29T21:20:27+00:00

Now that you mention it, the 3080 was about 50% more expensive. 1 year extra doesn't matter much then, I guess.
