Thoughts on the Bethesda layoffs?

Do you know what company used to pride itself on having extremely high employee retention, with some developers staying there for 10, 20, 30 years (something nearly unheard of in the AAA game's industry)?

Do you know what company just had that entire bit completely wiped out overnight because some inhuman corporate shitheel that's gonna jump ship in three years to some AI crypto startup decided that quest designers and lead concept artists were somehow middle management? Wanna guess how many of those actual supposed layers of managers that were causing problems were actually dealt with?

But hey, gamers will happily celebrate it happening because said company made a mid space game and *checks notes* were 3 years into a game with a 4-6 year development cycle like every single other game they've made in the past, and even though none of the gamers would like the game anyway the game wasn't being made fast enough and therefore they need to be fired, because clearly firing artists and level designers and quest designers and replacing them with the empty space where a tech CEO's soul should be is clearly going to result in a better game overall, right?

No, no strong thoughts at all about that.

Probably something no one cares about but I'm gonna talk about anyway. I've been into Skyrim since early 2013 and I always used UNP based bodies. UUNP was a real life saver, but if you've been there for it, you'd know how bad and lazy a lot of UUNP conversions were. Very little manual adjusting was done and there were no unibody conversion references, so a lot of conversions just looked bad. I had managed to stumble my way through Outfit Studio, learning just enough to fix stuff for myself.

I have a lot of old UNP textures I still use and love so I've stuck with BHUNP. I experimented with 3BA when I switched to SE in...2022, I think? I was late to switch, but basically when I realized ENB was no longer getting updates for LE and I was spending more time converting mods than playing, I decided to switch. I was already in the BHUNP ecosystem, so other than briefly switching Minori to 3BA, I pretty much stayed committed.

I started making my own conversions roughly a year ago and learned from Sunjeong's videos and Ciraeyna's video the basics of Outfit Studio and the guys at the Cult of BHUNP Discord server have been helping me learn more. I strive for good looking conversions on a wide variety of shapes. I still struggle with weighting, but I'd like to think I'm doing better with that.

Anyway, the picture is a preview of something that I'll chug away at for the next month or two. Even if I'm not allowed to publicly post it (I haven't asked and won't until it's done), Kozakowy's Mythic Dawn Priestess is an outfit I've always wanted converted and I attempted it twice before I actually knew what I was doing. I gave up both previous attempts because I couldn't get it to look right, but I think now I've got the knowledge to do it. Even if it remains only on my disk drive, I'll just be happy to have it nicely converted.

Things would a lot easier if I switched to 3BA or UBE but I just don't like 'em.

The arm thingys look warped in the preview but I can assure you they aren't.

A message from the lead UI engineer at ZOS, Dan Batson

Wanted to speak on this - I was definitely considering voting with my wallet myself, but as Dan stated, it would just be killing Zenimax, not Microsoft. I'm incredibly disappointed by the recent news. I can't believe how many people are gone - just when ESO was on the up, too. I'm not going to stop showing love for the game, but it still doesn't feel the same anymore.
