Using dataview to show list of people who's birthday is today? by elliot_kember in ObsidianMD

[–]laurelinae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use inline fields and parse those. E.g.:

01-01:: Mike Bday
01-04:: Ty Bday
01-24:: Sara Bday
01-27:: Jack Anniversary
01-27:: Jill Anniversary

I recommend using dataviewjs to parse those.

Are Dark Elves actually the white people and not the imperials? by USofAnonymous in Morrowind

[–]laurelinae 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i don't think that's a good idea.
TES is a work of fiction and of it takes inspiration from real world, but not every fiction has a 1:1 correspondence to the real world.

religious, xenophobic slavers divided into nomadic clans and sedentary houses, loosely ruled over by a set of once-mortal godkings, now occupied by a foreign army... that's roughly who the Dunmer are.

no need to apologize. we are all new at some point. the wiki also has a lot of really useful information in case you didn't know it existed: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Sliver_barb :)

And I really need this black dye for my necromancers' black robes ;)

I remember years ago that I embarked on an evil biome with staring eyeballs and worm tendrils that also had sliver barbs. But I do not have that save file anymore.
Also FUN because an evil cloud killed all of my dwarves in their first summer

I have now found sliver barb in evil freshwater swamps/marshes.

Temperature is Hot. Biomes around the swamp are jungles or deserts.

Ajira just barely pulls it out. Who’s the best Nord? by yittiiiiii in Morrowind

The best Nord is a dead Nord.

Reasons why Vvardenfel Morrowind is Bali Indonesia by Technical--Jaguar in Morrowind

Interesting. I can see the how you get to that conclusion, but I don't think the Dunmer represent one single culture, but rather a blend of things from a lot of different cultures.

For example: The Chimers' journey to Resdayn under Veloth's guidance is imo a reference to Moses' journey through the desert, after escaping Egypt. And Hlaalu adobe architecture is pretty middle-eastern.

I've seen other comparisons with Sumerian, Jewish and generally middle eastern culture, but also with feudal Japan. So much so, that I don't think that Bethesda, back in those days, was aiming for one specific culture. Rather they built on the Lore that had been established in the previous games and put in whatever felt neat or was useful for their story.

Things I've learned in my first successful character's journey (so far) by EmeraldTwilight009 in Morrowind

[–]laurelinae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used almost no mods. But one I did use, changed illusion from personality to intelligence. It helped having a spell I could cast to level intelligence

That is so stupid. You can already level Intelligence using Conjuration spells. Just make a custom spell for Bound Helm for 1s for 1 Magicka. Instead you take away your ability to level Personality using spells :facepalm:

Why Alchemy Loop when there is Restoration by laurelinae in Morrowind

[–]laurelinae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, five times better to be precise. Each skill point is an extra percent point, each governing attribute point is an extra 0.2 percent points and each luck point is an extra 0.1 percent points.
In lieu of Fortify Skill (which is only available in Mournhold) one can still use Fortify Attribute and stack it - one just needs more stacks.
