That sounds awesome. Definitely gonna check it out

I’ve had that game recommended to me before. I have zero idea what it’s about. I might try it after reading your comment

I agree on the ESO point - I probably only have 20-30 hours in it but it’s been exclusively as single player as I could do. It is a fun game, I quite enjoy it. I should open it again soon

I tried playing Daggerfall a couple years ago but couldn’t get into it. Maybe I should try your method

Oh that sucks, I’ve only ever played it on the 360 on a disc without internet connection.

Oh absolutely, you need at least one truly vanilla playthrough first. Even UESP I wouldn’t recommend until your second or third playthrough, everyone should see Skyrim at its jankiest, it’s sort of a rite of passage.

I’m doing a co-op playthrough of Halo: MCC with a friend. We’re currently on Halo 3. It’s very nostalgic

I always have UESP (Unofficial Elder Scrolls Patch) installed, even for “vanilla” playthroughs. From there, usually graphics mods, there’s tons of good ones. I also like SkyUI, which, as the name suggests, changes the UI. Alternate Start is a must when you get to having many characters (I think I’ve got 60-70 characters). Ordinator changes the perk system in the game, and I sometimes have it on, depending on the playthrough. A Quality World Map is another favourite, as the name implies it changes the map in the game to be much nicer. Beyond Skyrim: Bruma is fantastic, it adds the northern part of Cyrodiil (the place you’re at in Oblivion). RDO adds thousands of new dialogue lines, which is a must when you’re at thousands of hours. Random NPC dialogue gets repetitive after a while. Open Cities is also nice if you have a decent rig, as it removes the loading screens when entering/leaving major walled-off cities. It reminds me of Morrowind that way.

There’s lots more I like that I just can’t think of right now, but they’re mostly gameplay mods. Adding new locations, side quests, characters, that sort of thing. There’s so many dumb mods too which just add stupid shit, those are fun to play around with. A giant (and I mean absolutely massive) cow with NPCs to worship it, turning all dragons into Thomas the tank engine, changing horses to my little pony characters, changing Alduin into Macho Man Randy Savage, and many, many more. There’s seriously so many silly mods that I don’t think anyone could ever get bored.

My girlfriend finds showering and bathing extremely painful due to several very severe skin conditions. She’s also allergic to almost every deodorant that doesn’t cost a ridiculous amount. She doesn’t sweat a whole lot so it’s usually not an issue, and can get away with only one shower a week usually. Her conditions are pretty rare so I’m not saying everyone who doesn’t shower regularly has what she has, but there might be factors at play for some that give them legitimate reason not to shower. Or it could just be laziness

Mechanical watches. Most people don’t understand just how expensive they can get, outside of the ones with diamonds all over them, nor why they’re so expensive. Most people also don’t understand how expensive it is to be allowed to buy certain models, depending on the model and the dealer you’re buying from. Also, watch repairs and regular servicing of mechanical watches is something most people don’t consider, and the price of tools if you want to do it yourself can be very expensive and require a lot of skill.

Shameless plug for my community !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works which I think is quite neat. Best gaming community imo
