My last Morrowind character I did the Telvanni quests in Tamriel Rebuilt, since I had never been an asshole wizard. I also was trying a perk mod, along with grabbing the boots of blinding speed.

I never thought I would yern for the days of _that_ Tales of Phantasia translation. But at least there were editorial decisions made. Poor ones, but still. legendsoflocalization.com/articles/tal...

Yes, Baurus, that's right. I'm an assassin. That you left alone with the emperor.
Screenshot of The Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion (Original version, though lightly modded), with a guard named Baurus looking at the player character saying "There are rats and goblins down there... but from what I've seen of you, I'm guessing you're an experienced Assassin. Am I right?"

Not interested unless they got Kaori Mizuhashi in the booth for Navi again. And there's a Japanese audio option.

I noticed the moon wasn't round in the lunar eclipse photos I posted last night, because lens correction was on in my developing program. And discovered the haze added to it in some.

Eh, that'll do. Considering I was fighting clouds and a tripod (really didn't feel like setting up the actual telescope mount)
The lunar eclipse of August 27, 2027. The moons features are visible with earth's shadow dying them red Just the worst setup to take pictures of the moon. Absolute dogshit. A 127mm telescope is awkwardly perched on a lightweight camera tripod with a DSLR strapped to the back

You've got to wait until after the phase transition, and then tank lb3 when he counts three. Then he becomes vulnerable.

Fiesta is soon. 2024 (I thought it was last year, but this time last year I was busy with Deltarune and a Vegas trip to see Weird Al) was the first time I actually beat FF5 and also did Shinryu and Omega.

The irony of noticing this right when I got to this item. It's not the exact thing mentioned, but same underlying cause "they scrolled up a pixel, show the banner".

I love that the new photo view on this app is so vibe coded that I have to figure out where the "save image" menu option is based on vibes, as somehow they fucked up showing a pop up menu. If only there was a common way of doing things like displaying menus so everyone didn't have to hand roll it

I had a dumb idea I had to make real. True Morrowind ambiance. Random NPC sniffs. A too short water loop. Silt Strider howls. One lock that you just cannot pick for the life of you. youtu.be/-n_IdmoOKBU

For setting up my telescope at the end of the driveway, surrounded by Kansas City light pollution, haven't used sharpcap since the lunar eclipse earlier this year, and haven't learned much about post processing yet, not a bad Orion Nebula.

Hmm, Screenland Armour, unless the Kill Bill re-release goes in an entirely new direction, I don't think that's right. "You guys ever think about dying?" would fit though.
