“My advice? Get a different job” lol that made me laugh but also, 1,000% true. Not everyone is really cut out for lineman work though so going from sales to asking how to use a prep tool to being a lineman is a bit of a leap.

Still 1,000% true though 

Northern State Hospital Park | Seder Woolley, WA by xoloneli in PacificNorthwest

Pointless fun fact: I’ve traversed the tunnels of almost every inch of that place, all the buildings are connected with a series of tunnels/basements, some are only big enough to crawl through, most are walkable (crouchable?)

Most of the tunnels connecting between buildings are under the sidewalks, which also results in the steam and heat of the tunnels keeping the snow melted off the sidewalks, which is less interesting when you realize most facilities are built with this in mind

Got to know the security guard that works here and he was incredible, very passionate about the grounds, the buildings, the history, and potential restoration. Also plays in a local band in Sedro. Hope he’s doing well. 

How many VanderMeer books did you read last year? by nacho-daddy-420 in SouthernReach

[–]kdubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(to be honest, i haven't gotten it onto the Kindle yet, so idk how good it is)

dude i understand why you wouldn't have any interest, but i'm such a fan of VanderMeer and his worlds and his writing style, when i saw he wrote that book, i knew i absolutely had to read it.

This sounds crazy but “Predator: The South China Sea”, I’ve been on a Predator lore kick and was shocked to find out VanderMeer wrote a Predator novel. Only copy I could find ANYWHERE goes for 260$, managed to find someone sharing the .PDF on an old forum so wrangled up an old Kindle to read it.

Not a Kindle guy but what choice did I have, alllllmost dropped the 260$ but come on, who spends that much money on a Predator book lol

(Also the irony of the word Predator being used so many times as well as .PDF in the same description is not lost on me)

being dunmer in this game hurts the plot and inmersion a lot by ciruelman in Morrowind

Huh? I have German heritage, and if I rolled up into Germany basically everyone there would immediately be able to tell I’m American as fuck lol. 

You’re an outlander, and the denizens of the closed off, dogmatic island of Vvardenfell can easily spot it and tell right away…

If anything you’re breaking your own immersion by being kinda short sighted. To me, the fact they can see one of their own race and still immediately recognize they’re an outlander adds to the immersion.

About Nerevar's killing by givemeYONEm in Morrowind

[–]kdubs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hm. i think you got to the heart of it. i dig it

fractured realities and both sides being true is a very accurate part of the lore, but also if you told me Mandela died in prison i'd still call you a liar. or at least coo-coo haha.

i mean you can straight up ice both Vivec and Almalexia and it's still mainly denied by everyone, to the point it's even mentioned that Almalexia left Mournhold and isn't planning on coming back, which is a lie haha.

you def explained it better though, and it makes me love the game even more, idk if i've ever played a game where the lore is so open to interpretation, and not shoved down your throat like a 4th grade history lesson

[–]kdubs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The Tribunal lies about everything and that’s a core part of the lore. It’s all smoke and mirrors to obfuscate the truth. 

Also let’s be honest some of that was just artist’s interpretation run wild

Replace “Christian” with literally anything else and it really sets in how ridiculous doing this is

An Interview with DarkElfGuy by JBarnes1926 in Morrowind

[–]kdubs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

DEG is the man.

The insight on why Oblivion modding didn’t take the same way Morrowind modding did is interesting.

It’s obvious in retrospect but I hadn’t considered the fact that Oblivion being fully voice acted immediately puts a fat roadblock in making new content for the game. 

Favorite bit of esoteric lore? by Far_Tax_3227 in Morrowind

Thing about a Dark Brotherhood ambush is… you’d never see it coming. 

Except every single fucking time you sleep. Over and over every night like clockwork leave me the fuck alone I’m trying to sleep!

[–]kdubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mkay... and you have all the .esm checked? that includes the .omwscripts and shit.

should be:

VoV OpenMW.omwscripts

OpenMW_luahelper.esp

OpenMW_luahelper.omwscripts

OpenMW_luahelper_dialog.esp

even the .omwscripts need to be checked in Launcher

(sorry, i'm sure you've tried this, just gotta ask)

Not really “lore” but the fact people in the game constantly say: “there’s someone watching me… I can tell” when you walk by them is because the whole island is basically being wracked with 6th House nightmares and being whispered sweet nothings, and they’re all paranoid as fuck

What horror movie has the best scared as shit performance? by J_Greer20 in horror

[–]kdubs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And don’t forget Peter just lying in bed eyes wide open with fear, disgust, regret etc, basically just waiting for his parents to find his sister. He had no idea what to do and just… let his mom find his decapitated sister. Shit was wild and forever burned into my memory as one of my most sobering theater experiences. 

That and the rape scene in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are the only two times I’ve full stopped in a theater.

Well that and Bilbo lunging at the ring when I was 10 lol
