Nice atmospheric shots, ladyaly. The arch in that last screenshot looks pretty cool, but I'm guessing what lurks behind it isn't very inviting.

Actually it is just a Bridge - the Dragon Bridge - quite arty

Some new screenshots - I made a lot lately. I am so in awe to the landscapes of Skyrim - even if it is not the polished ones from these days - game is considered *old* Anduin's Wall - a very important discovery Next step the Monastery of the Greybeards and learning a pretty important shout to find the leader of the monks and here is the surprise - the leader Paarthunax is a Dragon A Philosopher and chatty one he is

And the nice shots keep on coming Any picture with mountains is great really. Always love those. Probably because my country is mostly flat. Paarthunax is looking quite comfortable there. I've been feeling a bit under the weather these last few days. So I haven't been playing anything. I was in the process of replaying all of the lost tales though. Apparently the PC version of The Outer Worlds won't be available on Steam till next year. Although it is possible to buy it from some other retailers. Hmmm...

I see - in 2 days the new Jedi Game will launch and then I make maybe a break with replay Skyrim or play both. I have not a lot of work to do atm - so I have also a lot more time.

Hmmm... so it looks like you're caving in and getting the game as soon as it comes out then Can't really blame you. It does look good. I wonder if there'll be a discount for any of the recently released games with Black Friday coming up? Probably wishful thinking. Felt a bit better today. Enough to pick up a household task that I really hate. Ironing and/or folding up my laundry. Usually all the clean laundry ends up in a separate laundry basket which is then placed in my spare room; out of sight, out of mind lol. So today I decided to tackle that issue and started folding/ironing things and guess what? About 30 mins into trying to shrink that pile of laundry my ironing board breaks down The other week my sweeper mop also decided it was done sweeping, so I wonder what will break down next lol Maybe it's a sign I shouldn't bother with household tasks and just buy a new game in order to not be reminded of those household tasks

UUpsie - but here it is a saying - after 3 things broken all is fine again But good to hear you feel a bit better !! I hate ironing, too btw. So I try to hang up my cloth pretty neat to avoid a lot of wrinkles. I got the game 10 % cheaper as pre-sale at Origin last week. Steam didn't offer this. Despite the fact you have no option to play female - I'm a bit hyped now. Can't wait to get my fingers on it. In meanwhile here some new progress shots of Skyrim Mage College of Winterhold - time to get that damn Elder Scroll WTH ... wondering about a Sphere no one knows what it does This one let me nearly fall laughing from my seat arriving in Blackreach, one of the most mystical places in Skyrim deep underneath the earth and here finally ---- in the mid of the apparatus --- the ELDER SCROLL !

Why? The sphere is a giant football of course Can it be poked? And what is it with the floating mushrooms? I do feel bad for the horse though It’s always funny to see those kind of glitches. Plenty of them in most games too
Most clothing is work clothing anyway, so I don’t really care if it gets all wrinkled I’m just a simple lab technician. Not a representative for the company. Like you I try and hang the neat stuff as well as possible, but it doesn’t always help. Also I suppose ironing wouldn’t be so bad if most of the clothing wasn’t fitted. One downside of clothing for women It’s funny though. I’ve had that ironing board for 20 years and since I don’t like ironing it’s not something I use every day, yet it breaks down. It’s unexpected since... it’s an ironing board… what could possibly break it? On the other hand my 20 year old washing machine and dryer have still been going on strong. Nowadays I sometimes wonder if it would be more economic if they broke down, since newer washing machines and dryers will probably use a lot less water and energy to run.

- Giant Football sounds good to me. The magical floating glowing mushroomies are part of this underworld I suppose - I find it fascinating. About the old electricals - I did change that 2 years ago ( washer and cooler, both were ancient ) It really makes a difference in energy and water - I did feel it in my pocket

I'd feel a bit bad about replacing them if they're not broken. I did get to replace my dishwasher and refrigerator when I moved. They weren't broken, but my sis was happy to take them at the time, since she only had a small refrigerator and no dishwasher It'd be even better if I had more solar panels installed on my roof. Then the use of energy wouldn't be an issue at all. Sadly the municipality where I live, who even claim they want to be one of the first completely energy neutral municipalities in the Netherlands next year, isn't of much help if you want to do your share for the climate *rolls eyes* Heh I'd even consider my next car to be an electrical one if it was possible to have it charged with the energy generated by my own solar panels, but since there's no guarantee that I can park my car close to my backyard. In theory I can park my car about 1.5 meters from my gate, but sadly that's not always possible and I doubt they'd like it if I rolled out a 20 meter cable. So in short: do not expect me to save the climate I guess all this is not much of an issue in Skyrim lol.

Mmmh - I wouldn't consider to buy an electric car. Sure they maybe reduce the CO² but on the other hand it uses a lot of very rare earth metals/minerals - this is the other side of the medallion. However all human activities generate some kind of impact on the environment and earth.
I do what I can, though. I don't use plastic bags in any form since a long time, did reduce the consume of meat, don't buy any greens packed in plastic stuff and such little things. Imo it is good if you just think over the normal stuff to ease a bit the whole situation.

Well, no electric car for me either, because of the reason I mentioned before and as you mention: the fact that a lot rare/not easy to obtain earth metals and minerals are used for the batteries isn't favourable either.
Personally, I think we should do our best to find ways to make our impact on the environment/climate as small as possible. On the other hand I also believe that the climate has always changed and will keep changing and that this is being used to create a new revenue model. I could go on about this, but that would be way off-topic and should be in the After Life forum I suppose. And I'm not quite sure that people would be interested in me ranting about these kind of issues lol

Meh - I got a corrupted file - however - I had uninstall all. Skyrim SK Special edition and the toolf or the mods. No nerve to install all again tbh.
So Skyrim is closed for now.
