George R.R. Martin does like his references to cum. All "seed", all the time, ALWAYS. Probably uses the word in the bedroom.

I gotta be honest Oblivion's gameplay is really shit even in the remaster. Beyond saving really. Like damn there is not even a HINT of progression=reward. Everything is level scaled and thereby pointless, meaning enjoyment just straight up dies after a certain amount of hours. Just invites exploits

Google are kind of baffling me with the YT ad blocker blocking shit because they're doing it so very slowly, selectively and timed so far apart. What are they doing??? Any theories? I genuinely wanna know. I mean they must have enough user data to predict how people will respond by now. Bizarre.

Maddening how health professionals can just be wrong sometimes. I tried to clarify to my dentist (well, dental therapist) that I meant to try a bicarbonate of soda rinse, not to rinse my mouth with "soda", & she still refused to accept it's okay. It is VERY well documented to be good for teeth.

Excuse my shitty wording here (I'm not a driver), but saw some absolute cockwipe turn onto a blatantly marked one way road with two fast lanes then swerve around for several seconds and turn back around today. Luckily no one was on it. Stupid motherfucker could have killed a pedestrian or been

keeeeeeek

I kinda like Lily Allen Is that cringe? Probably. Oh well.

Probably should sign into Nexus once in a while lest the new management use my account inactivity as a pretext to delete my account with the defunct lifetime premium on it.

Gonna go and get my liver scanned soon. They're trying to intervene early because liver disease is very subtle. You know how they do it? They vibrate your liver and see if it wobbles. If it wobbles, it's healthy. The NHS still has its bright spots.

Not my gas company complaining they haven't received a gas reading for 7 months... Motherfucker who cares you know from my history I use fuck all until winter.

I haven't quite finalised my response to the Oblivion dev who thought it would be an amazingly immersive idea to have hand to hand attacks disarm you so you have to keep picking up and re-equipping your sword mid-fight, but so far it involves a lot of fuck you's and fuck your [insert relative here]

Definitely gonna need to start a conversation by shouting START TALKING ALREADY one day, that's fucking brilliant

"I figured you for a heavy armour type, ya know... hide behind a skin of steel?" -Guy wearing plate mail indoors. Never change, Oblivion.

I love that the faces are still so fucked up in Oblivion that every single Khajiit looks like they've been hitting the skooma

The amount of brands my local convenience store has where they only stock the most boring variety of something as if on purpose astounds me. Imagine not stocking these bad boys for example. Nah just give me white chocolate and peanut butter or whatever instead.

"Truncheon of Submission" Damn. Kinky.

Bows are goddamn hilarious in Oblivion. Literally just run and jump everywhere to level your athletics and acrobatics and you can just keep backstepping as you fire arrows while the enemies' pathfinding buggers up. Sometimes enemies aren't even scripted to leave their boundaries too.

Yeah. Figures. I never liked this "brain wormed lunatic" description of him all that much. Takes away from the fact that, no, he's just a disgusting, callous, murdering piece of filth. People always go for the lesser insult to sound more politically balanced I think.

Jesus christ. So Sir Lathon just died because he charged into combat unarmed and when I check his inventory he has not one but TWO swords. He'll only use his bow, and even then only sometimes. Suppose I'll reload and just tell him to bugger off.

Suppose I'm gonna have to start sending bug reports to Bethesda. I doubt very much my experience will be as *excellent* as with CD Projekt Red on Cyberpunk (seriously, hell of a team over there, I'm pretty sure they diagnosed and fixed a bug specifically from my save file) but we live in hope.

Oblivion Remastered has a bug where if you have a torch equipped, your shield gets stuck to your hand when you switch to a bow, completely blocking your aim. Niiiiiice work guys I'll just use the shitty light spell or wander around in the goddamn dark

Dead Island (disambiguation, for the country see Great Britain)

Crazy how prevalent "from whence" is. It's whence. The from is redundant.

Jesus fucking Christ

Really gotta clean up my home and get rid of all these old devices with lithium batteries in them. Technically they should be safe even if they're swollen when they're discharged but it does make me uncomfortable honestly.

America is so very, irrevocably, fucked. Only time will tell of course but in my view they've reached an extreme other nations will eventually have to distance themselves from.

I'll humour the bullshit thing about removing the headphone jack to increase waterproofing for a second: I can't say I have EVER dropped my fucking phone in the bath or toilet like a retard. Never. Not once. And I am a heavy drinker. Waterproofing is not a dare.

I am once again asking for a separate label for elder zoomers.

I am torn on this playlist of the best songs from the old NFS games from when you literally were a toddler. Do I keep the song sung by the man convicted for being openly Welsh? *checks notes* Waitno. He is but he was convicted for being a nonce.

It gives me no shortage of amusement that because I have weak tooth enamel some of the very few drinks I can have (because they're neutral instead of acidic) are spirits. Double vodka please. For health reasons. 😌

I resisted shit like paying with your phone for years because of the blatant security risk it represents but I gotta be honest it makes life so much goddamn easier

Think I might have some kind of affliction on the skin of my left hand and my most plausible theory is that, given that these things thrive in moisture and spread through prolonged contact, it's from someone not wiping down the goddamn fucking machine at the gym.

I wonder what strange goblin like creature is buying shit from Discord's shop

I'm sorry I try not to comment on mostly harmless horseshit, especially on issues where people wanna feel like they can make a difference, but horseshit is still horseshit and I have to wonder why people are reposting a Vtuber like they're a journalist. "A source told me" Who the fuck ARE you?

Night time gym session was pretty baller actually. Might just do that again. There's something about exercising then having to deal with every other second of the day on this godforsaken planet I don't get along with.

We must all have a piece of internet culture we just completely missed and don't understand right? For me it's the Among Us shit

To be honest the Oblivion Remaster is kind of a piece of shit. Like blatantly rushed. Even something as simple as casting a light on yourself doesn't survive a loading screen, the menus are slow to open, I even had setting the active quest bugging out. Didn't deserve to sell well tbh.

I'm cutting down on alcohol, AKA boycotting fun.

One of the most annoying things about Oblivion for me is that by time you have the kind of gold to buy special items from merchants you've already got better gear from exploring anyway. Worthless.

lmfao Never change, Oblivion.

If you're playing Oblivion Remastered with a controller do yourself a favour and assign quicksave to Up on the Dpad. By default it shortcuts to the character sheet menu, which is purely informational. No idea what they were thinking tbh, but at least you can remap.

Don't get too attached to sofas. Get yourself a chair. Preferably with a surface nearby you can prop your leg up on cockily. Feels great.

Nothing like getting off one bus thinking you'd probably need to walk the rest of the way and the next infrequent bus is only 2 minutes away from the same stop phwoaaar

Are you for fucking real.

Just got Bluesky's fucking auto moderator on my ass labeling my post as sexually suggestive and it's just a still from the end of Alien lol

Honestly I probably would too. Sounds pretty tiring.

Books need a pronunciation guide for names in parentheses the first time they're mentioned. I swear to christ it really does break my immersion when I'm sounding out syllables in my head every time some wanker's name comes up.

I've managed to reduce my appetite so I don't have to eat first thing and also get myself up and off to the gym at 5AM consistently without feeling too much like shit Win.

What a dumb bunch of cunts. Fucking hell.

Having to repost this in text form because Bluesky's desktop image posting is fucking broken... BUT Apparently the Oblivion Remastered team added a more sane difficulty option to compensate for the absurd imbalance. I'm vindicated, glad, and will be reinstalling now.
