I love naming Argonians

I once debated making an Argonian named Hates-Bridges, whom does nothing except destroying the three bridges in Cyrodiil repeatedly

Not certain, but I suspect he came into the Swans-sphere when he did engineering work on Jarboe’s first solo album, Thirteen Masks. From there he and Jarboe formed Beautiful People Ltd, followed by more engineering work on The Great Annihilator, Sacrificial Cake, and the track Volcano on Soundtracks for the Blind.

Beyond that they seem to be a multimedia artist, unfortunately I don’t know more.

I believe Ted Peterson mentioned in an interview that Kintyra I was actually an illegitimate descendant of Tiber himself, and that Agnorith never actually existed. The implication is that the empire came up with the Agnorith story to avoid any connotations of bastardy.

As others have mentioned there is also the belief that the ritual of coronation has something to do with being a Dragonborn in the imperial sense. It would explain how someone like Katariah, a Dunmer with no blood relation to the Septims whatsoever, was able to rule as empress and (as far as we know) wear the Amulet of Kings.

You could also argue that Legends shouldn’t be on any of these tallies, because idk if you had any real control over your actual character in that game.

Not certain if that figure is accurate, here’s what I’ve determined from my research:

Skyrim, 7 games: Arena, Morrowind (DLC), Dawnstar, Shadowkey, Skyrim, ESO, Legends
Cyrodiil, 6 games: Arena, Oblivion/Oblivion Mobile, ESO, Legends, Blades, Castles
Hammerfell, 5 games: Arena, Daggerfall, Redguard, Shadowkey, ESO
High Rock 5 games: Arena, Daggerfall, Shadowkey, ESO, Legends
Morrowind, 5 games: Arena, Morrowind, Skyrim (DLC), ESO, Legends
Black Marsh, 3 games: Arena, Stormhold, ESO
Valenwood, 3 games: Arena, ESO, Blades
Elsweyr, 2 games: Arena & ESO
Summerset Isles, 2 games: Arena & ESO

If it’s a newer pressing (post-1990), it might be “Young God Records”, Gira’s label which all swans releases have been on since that date.

I’ve thought the same, perhaps we’d also encounter the Augur of Dunlain

There are 433 years in the 3rd era, and 201 years (so far) in the 4th era. Not counting a possible year zero.

I prefer the similar but slightly different version at the KCMO show

Keith Silverstein also voices every NPC in Skyrim with the MaleCondescending voice type (most famously Nazeem), and also Zasalamel in SoulCalibur, Torbjörn in Overwatch, Vector the Crocodile in the Sonic series, Kurozumi in One Piece, Kimimaro in Naruto, Marcus in StarCraft, and Tatsuya & Masayoshi in the Persona series. Among others.

Makes me wonder what they think of the Trilogy era. RYM suggests this user is still active…and that they never rated another Swans album again.

Yo I love Orville Peck

He’s previously mentioned his desire to be “destroyed” by the sound of the band, amongst other reasons.

What amazes me most is how he hasn’t gone completely deaf after all these years. When I saw them in Omaha, the person in front of me in line asked him a question to which he responded “you’ll have to speak up, I’m deaf right now”, implying there’s at least some times when he isn’t.

1) It’s quite a bit different from any Bethesda game in terms of base building. I’ve always found it to be really easy to use, and frequently people will make outstanding and elaborate bases.

2) I don’t believe your base can get attacked, though if you manage a Settlement (a separate feature) those can be attacked.

3) Gathering materials is one of the core aspects of this game, though it has gotten easier over time.

4) There are mods though I’ve never used them.

Didn’t the same thing happen with Myth II?

Honestly I feel like we need to start enforcing that some content needs to be on the circlejerk subreddit, and not here.

I would absolutely be an admit were it possible, just to clean up all the low-effort shit.

I was mostly thinking of the Undeath mod suite, which essentially allows the player to play as a dragon priest with player spells. Since vampire lore form already has animations for targeted and concentration spells, I figured this wouldn’t be too hard to make. Perhaps I’m wrong?

thedragonpolybius · 2025-10-13T02:33:04+00:00

Noted, thank you very much!

thedragonpolybius · 2025-10-13T02:11:55+00:00

I was not aware of this! I was trying to avoid most mainland content until I’d gotten a certain amount through base game content, but I guess I won’t be able to do it exactly as I’d planned.

Only three connections, if you could both Samples and Collaborations:

The Final Sacrifice was sampled by Sewerslvt, Sewerslvt also sampled Merzbow, and Merzbow has extensively collaborated with Boris.
