That sounds familiar, I feel like we’ve talked about this before. I’m pretty sure you got me to try Daggerfall Unity. Someone on here definitely did.
For what it’s worth, I played a bit of Morrowind today using OpenMW and had a ton of fun with it. I really hope this time it sticks for more than a week.
Very true. The first year has been incredibly fulfilling, I can only imagine how it’ll continue to feel as the years go on. My nephew is 5 years old, and my father-in-law recently said to my sister-in-law that if her son moves out at 20, she’s now 25% done. That’s kind of nuts to me, I never really thought of it that way before.
Totally fair. Not every game will be for everyone, I think Skyrim hit me in a time where I had lots of free time to play games, and it was also around the time I moved from my childhood home (not too far away but just far enough to be inconvenient to see friends on a regular basis) so I spent a lot more time playing single player games. I now have over 5k hours in the game, so it’s sort of become a comfort game now. But if I didn’t have that experience with it first, I could see how coming to it now wouldn’t do much for me. I actually prefer Oblivion to it these days, and I’m constantly trying to get into Morrowind too because I’m confident I’d love it. I have some time today, maybe I’ll boot up Morrowind again.
Yeah, between a full time job and having a family of my own, especially since my little one is only a year old, I’m lucky to get 1-2 hours in a week, and many weeks I won’t even have time to play at all. I might go a month or two without touching a game.
That’s fair. I’m more into medieval fantasy games, so I mostly play Elder Scrolls, SoulsBorne, etc games. But I do love other genres too, just not as much.
I really miss the days I could sink that kind of time into a game, I’m incredibly jealous. I’m glad you’re having a great time with it.
I remember the first time I went to my wife’s big family gathering when we were still dating, her grandmother was cooking a big elaborate meal and her uncle snuck into the kitchen and grabbed some food before it was ready, got caught, then proceeded to get chased around the house with a slipper. All in good fun obviously, but it was quite amusing to watch.

Reach is the pinnacle “friend group” game. I miss those days…
That looks super cool. Definitely added to my wishlist. Thanks for the rec!
The best Pokémon game ever made, imo. Great choice.
Got another mastery achievement in Hitman. Just three or four left now I think.
I’m also playing some Oblivion again. Started a new playthrough, it’s been probably a year since I’ve touched the game so I thought I’d pick it up again. It’s been fun. I missed this game.
Islay (L) and Apollo ® say hi:
I saw that yesterday too, I was messing around with it for a bit. Really cool.
Elden Ring
Sekiro
Dark Souls III
Oblivion
Hitman: World of Assassination
My wife and I were so close to naming our void Luci for the same reason. Her sister has a cat named Lucy though and we figured it might be confusing in conversation so we went with Apollo instead.
Islay cleaning a very annoyed Apollo who just wants to cuddle me:
When I heard the NRA was writing big-ass cheques
I went right down to Virginia and I said “me next”
They said go ye to the schools and spread the good news
I said I need a bulletproof vest and some good running shoes
They said “we got those” I said “cool, where at?”
They said “they’re next to the spoons making everyone fat”
Now I was rolling my eyes like a rolling stone
When uncle Huckabee called me on the telephone
He said “I’m raising up money for a people in need”
I said “of course, uncle Huck’, that strip is starving indeed”
He said “the lord’s at work here, boy, and the job ain’t done
Son you need Jesus, and Jesus needs guns”
It makes no sense
One man’s terror’s another man’s defence
When the Holy Golden Toad spat him out of his mouth
The technobillionaire goblin was about KO’d out
But he left behind Big Balls like some vestigial tail
And them balls went to town and they got beat all to hell
Some days the DOGE-ing is easy, some days the DOGE-ing is hard
When the DOGE-ing don’t work, you’d better call in the guard
The citrus Caesar and the Theilian prince
Were throwing it all at the wall just to see what would stick
Even I got distracted, that weather was bad
That was the ICE-iest summer that I’ve ever had
Some days I forget that Cracker Barrels exist
But there ain’t no one forgetting about that list
It makes no sense
One man’s crime’s another man’s intelligence
The Nostradamus of Austin cried out to the lord
He said “them frogs might be gay but I’ll still be your sword”
While television anchors talked at the air
Does a lie make a noise if there ain’t nobody there?
“This ain’t no country for cable” said the wisest of men
Honey, crank up that Tucker while I pack me a zyn
It was getting kind of late so I went back to the morgue
They were doing the autopsy of July 4th
I said “hold the scalpel boys! She ain’t dead yet
I got a parlay on China, we can still win the bet”
The technician was drunk on Muskadine wine
He said “I’m going to Mars” I said “good riddance, goodbye”
It makes no sense
You can leave if you want, but, all your problems go with
Have you played Portal 2? I found that one to be by far the better of the two. Though with that being said I did still really enjoy the first one.
I’m glad you’ve been enjoying it. It’s been hard to be consistent lately but hopefully it’ll be back to normal again now.
Not everyone has the same idea of fun, and not every game needs to be catered to every player. I happen to love soulslikes specifically because of their combat, but I get why others don’t like it.
I’d be curious if you’d like Sekiro.
It’s funny because I’ve got an interest in booze but I’m also really into coffee and they’re slightly different.
With coffee, it doesn’t have any natural sweetness really, at least not like with wine. Generally describing a coffee as sweet means a nice balance of bitterness and acidity such that neither is overpowering. Sweet, more in the way of being pleasant, rather than sugary. And usually bitter and sour are the polar opposites. Whereas with booze, I think you’re right in that most people see sweet and bitter as opposites.
With that being said, dry is always the opposite of sweet with regards to professional tasting, at least for coffee and wine. I’m not sure about beer and spirits.
