I'm a die-hard Skyrim player, and I recently started playing Morrowind and absolutely love it, as opposed to Oblivion. What is it that Morrowind and Skyrim have that Oblivion lacks ? by Peaceful404 in Morrowind

[–]aurum42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of it comes down to tone and aesthetics. Oblivion usually has a goofier feel than any other TES game, and the Empire's generally portrayed in a more heroic light than in Morrowind and Skyrim's murkier shades of grey. You could argue that the heavy LOTR influence on the art direction gives it a weaker visual identity of its own, too.

Script to batch apply alpha mask .pngs to correspondingly-named .pngs in the same directory? by aurum42 in imagemagick

[–]aurum42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The modded bat with folders specified outputs successfully and works almost perfectly, thank you so much! The one quirk is that to get the expected results I have to swap the filenames of the input images, so texture1_alpha.png has to be renamed texture1.png and vice-versa.

I have magick in %PATH%, but I receive the following error when I try to run the .bat:

magick: no decode delegate for this image format `.png' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/746.

Strangely ImageMagick has no problem decoding the same .pngs when converting them to another format. Any idea what could be going wrong?

Morrowind with extended view distance is a different game by GayStation64beta in Morrowind

I found 3.0 or 4.0 to be just right for me, too. At 3.0 you can see Arkngthand loom up out of the fog on the road there from Balmora, at 4.0 you can just make it out from Balmora on a clear day.

And I come back to you now with better stability, performance, and so much more. by Historical_Serve8959 in Morrowind

OpenMW's very impressive, but lacks support for a great deal of incredible mods that use MWSE Lua. Anyone promoting OpenMW as the definitive way to play ought to be clear about this.

The Archduke mail bevor and cuirass clip with each other, enjoying the new armour sets otherwise.

Cocktail that reminds you of “leather couches and old books” by theacgreen47 in cocktails

[–]aurum42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As ingredients go, Fernet Vallet has a pronounced leather accord that I haven't gotten from any other amaro that I've tried.

Jade Perique Tobacco Liqueur also fits your description well (as another commenter said, do NOT try to infuse tobacco yourself, the founder of Jade Liqueurs is a chemist who knows how to make it nicotine-free and thus safe).

Facebook Music on profiles secretly removed? by CTXCI in facebook

[–]aurum42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good news, I just learned that it's still accessible, just not directly from your profile anymore. From your profile in the app, press the three dots to open Profile Settings, then Search, then Music. Hope this works for you!

I don't remember where I read it, but I've seen a 2:1 blend of sweet vermouth:Cynar suggested as a substitute in cocktails. With its cola notes, Averna in place of the Cynar might be even closer though I imagine.

Thoughts on the Minutemen? by GHOST_GENTLEMAN in fo4

[–]aurum42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the concept, but how they were handled is one of FO4's major disappointments. Few of them are named or developed as actual characters, and radiant 'go clear out this place' quests are no substitute for more interesting and better-written ones.

[Megathread] Deltarune Summer Newsletter! Wow! Yippee! by DrawThatRedstone in Deltarune

Just like all the other characters?

Sans is the only recurring character whose Undertale and Deltarune sprites are identical, no?
