Dudes got robot legs. How much more valuable do you want?
Gotta up your game boy.

Jon Peters: heavy breathing
Metal legs; but is stuck in a hole filled with diseased zombie people.
This is crazy; what game is this from?
Elder scrolls morrowind
Oh! I think I’ve heard of it before. I’ll look it up. For anybody who has played it: is it fun?
It is amazing but it doesn’t hold your hand as far as quests go. There’s no big arrow pointing to your objective. Items don’t blink or glow. You must read the quest journal and wander around. There’s transport options but no generic fast travel.
Also, if you can find a mod to remove cliff racers then use it.
But then how would I satisfy my unquenchable thirst for bird blood?
Morrowind remains my favorite Elder Scrolls game. It’s a bit more hardcore RPG than Skyrim for sure, and that may turn some folks off. And it’s definitely an older game with most of the dialog written. But it is an EXCEPTIONAL game. The world is beautiful and varied and exploration still feels more rewarding than Oblivion or Skyrim, the amount of lore to explore is HUGE, the specificity when building and leveling your character out exactly how you want is expansive, and the game doesn’t hold your hand - you can kill people who are vital to the main story if you want to, it just lets you doom the world if you really want to.
Nowadays, I’d strongly recommend running it with the excellent OpenMW engine, it’s rock solid and performs better than the original game, hell there’s even a working multiplayer fork of it!
It’s very old at this point.
It’s the predecessor to Skyrim. I would maybe start there.
Yuk. Skyrim stripped out everything that made Morrowind special. It feels more like a Ubisoft game than an RPG.
Morrowind is old and has retroRPG jank, but as long as you don’t run everywhere it’s not that hard. There’s even OpenMW if you want some modern quality of life features.
Doesn’t change the fact that Skyrim is a lot more accessible for new players.
There is a reason why Skyrim is still one of the most played games on Steam at this time (after 14 years) and Morrowind is not.
Oh, Skyrim! I’ve heard of that before! Never played it though. Tried to download it once, but the software didn’t work properly and took up most of my RAM space. I was like “Not my RAM!” and immediately deleted it.
I am not sure if you are kidding but Ram exists to be used.
Unused ram is wasted potential.
I am. I code. Well, kind of. What I meant to say was “I play around with code that takes up a lot of my computer memory, actual memory, and RAM” and I really am quite fond of my little creations that I’ve made with my code and can’t bear the thought of parting with them/basically killing them by deleting them. They’re like children to me :,)
This is the weirdest troll I’ve ever seen, or you’re in the middle of a psychosis.
Hey, I just gave this dude a special overengendered glove!
Holy shit a Morrowind meme out in the wild.
I’m a massive elder scrolls fan
Didnt know Dwemer made those too
This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
Absolutely loved that movie when I was a kid.
And I just now realised what was going on when I was around 15 and a girl invited me to her place while her parents were away. We watched this movie and she put her legs over me, then leaned her head on my shoulder and held my arm and I just sat there fully focused on the movie and feeling awkward about physical contact… God damn it.That’s a perfectly fine thing to do at 15. Cuddling while watching a movie. I think you’re just looking through it through a different lens now that you’re (presumably) no longer a teenager.
She should communicate with her words.
“The 30s are men’s best years!”
Meanwhile:
7 a few years after high-school. I dont care, im not the one that has to look at it.
My father is stage 3 at age 51. Interesting. Guess he will be stage 6 by 110.
Husband hit stage 3 when he was 16, and is still there nearing 40.

Vegeta?
Does he glow as well by any chance, Tar?
I got the fading widow’s peak in my early twenties. And it hasn’t progressed at all in like twenty years!
Yeah I’ve had a prominent widows peak since my hair grew in. Lot of comments about how I looked like Dracula or Eddie Munster. Got bad enough I tried shaving it in highschool, which honestly looked way way worse.
Morale of the story, men can have different hairlines that are not straight across. Just own it.
i’ve been in stage 3 vertex for a couple decades. been shaving it off for the last six or seven. is nice.
To be fair, the guy on the picture is 700 years or older. I want to see you at that age.
Wouldn’t that mean his value only went up since he is a man (supposedly)?
I would say it didn’t, so he himself contradicts his own statement.
He’s not a man, he’s a mer. Show some respect!
“When riddled with corprus and 700 years old you reach, look as good you will not!”
Yagrum Bagarn, the only living Dwemer to appear in an Elder Scrolls game so far.
Also the last living Dwemer. Motherfucker was in a different dimension when the Dwemer vanished
Last living one we know of, at least.
Which in all honesty leaves a lot open for Bethesda to bring them back in some capacity. Between Dragon Breaks, Chim, and literal time travel there’s a lot they could do not even getting into the other metaphysics and metamagics in the setting.
For those who haven’t deep delved EUSP I shall list what the three things I listed implies.
Dragon Breaks, a dragon break is what happens when time becomes non linear the fun thing is that it can be both retroactive and postactive. The ending of Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall is sometimes theorized to have caused a dragon break so massive that it basically rewrote the setting with its shockwave. This is admittedly just an in universe way of explaining retcons.
Chim, basically a character in the setting achieves awareness that they are infact fictional and becomes effectively a god. Tuber Septum achieved partial Chim caused a dragon break and removed the jungles of Cyrodil from history. Also Vivec achieved Chim and Dagoth Ur fucked up the process without removing himself entirely.
Time travel, basically what it says on the tin. Fun fact Pelinal Whitestrake was from a different timeline and was basically the Terminator.
CHIM isn’t really meta like that. It is a state of enlightenment achieved after coming to terms with the fact that the Elder Scrolls setting exists within the ‘dream’ of a godhead. The godhead is a mysterious and high order entity, think Lovecraftian gods, which isn’t really sleeping and dreaming in the way we normally think of it.
Typically when one comes to understand the nature of the dream they inhabit, they vanish, becoming one with the dream in a process known as zero-summing. It essentially means coming to the conclusion that all things within the dream are one and the same, that the individual is an illusion.
CHIM is achieved by facing this fate and asserting that, though all reality is a dream, your existence as an individual with thoughts and feelings and agency within the dream matters and is valid. Some suggest this state confers great power, such as the ability to reshape the landscape or perform miracles, like when one lucid dreams. However, I find this position poorly supported. Rather, CHIM seems best viewed as one form of enlightenment, a state achieved through great wisdom and insight but which brings with it no particular power. Vivec can be slain, after all, and relies on his connection to the Heart of Lorkhan to exercise divine power.
This is unironically a great overview and simplification of CHIM within the Elder Scrolls setting. One in which I am fundamentally incapable of making because I have been utterly corrupted by Morrowind shitposts around the concept, IE a photoshop of Astolfo from Fate with Dagoth Urs head asking if that is CHIM.
Don’t get me wrong I’m no stranger to our lord and savior Fargoth, bosmer bussy, or Nords and their secret wives. The Elder Scrolls is fantastic because you can simultaneously take it so seriously and … do whatever it is we lore nerds get up to.
Fair enough. Prolly doesn’t help I was actively melting my capacity to properly articulate the utter madness that is Michael Kirkbride mainling a philosophy book and then reading Lovecraft because I was slowly gassing myself because I put a tad bit to much bleach in my water bucket while cleaning up cat piss.
What a grand and intoxicating bod!
These are actual teenage boys now though. Gen Alpha is so fucked.
I do hope many of them develop and grow up away from it. Otherwise I guess they’ll have to be lonely.
Honestly, there is hope for that. I feel like we’re all forgetting the anti-SJW YouTube pipeline that happened to Gen Z when they were around 16 (around 8-12 years ago now) and a lot of them grew out of that.
Think about what kind of politics these boys will have when they grow up though… It’s going to be even more authoritarian, anti-woman, etc.
Eh, it is part of natural selection. What self respected women will want to procreate with them?
Incels don’t worry me long term.
Here’s the thing there are plenty of people with no self respect or too much self respect and delusional so it’s a moot point.
Equal and opposite forces are a thing in culture. I think we’ll see it rejected even harder.
When they grow up? Lol?
When they receive the ability to vote at 18, is what I mean.
They aren’t growing up…alive.
Yeah but the good thing is that the gen after is probably not going to be equally retarded.
Urgot
I’ll bet his poophole is mechanized as well.
