I think I'd make a great minion to an evil queen or something. I've got that "i'm just a little guy" energy and I love evil women but its not like a sex thing for me I just think they're fun. I'd say "yes mistress" and "right away your evilness" and i'd almost never get defenestrated or tossed into any pits
Of course, Your Devilishness
haha wheee
Softer than goblin skull👍
this is helpful to getting started on anything regardless of what you call it (from this post)

Ive read a million comments on how this is AI, or an Unreal Engine Render, or it's Modded Skyrim, or it's a Modded Shadow of War, etc. etc. etc.
All I can say is ive been playing *alot* of Starfield lately and theres something about the movement, camera, and lighting+textures that make me think that ***whatever this is*** its running on a new(ish) version of Bethesda's Creation Engine 2.
This seems to be using some pre-existing assets, namely the smoke in the loading screen, the TES Blades music, the Skyrim(?) crosshair. In game development it is very normal to use placeholder assets (typically pulled from previously released games). Any placeholders are replaced with new assets when the game is at or near completion.
I wont do a wishy washy "idkkk guys it might be real or fake??" If you were to put a gun to my head id say this is real. Yes im perfectly willing to be called out as wrong but I'd need to be shown pretty clear evidence to change my mind.
That spinning icon in the bottom right of the loading screen is funnily the most interesting part to me. Look at it closely, theres clearly alot of detail to it that this grainy ass video doesnt capture (or is hiding if you belive this is fake)

Notes:
>This video was posted 8 months ago, well before Sora AI or any similar programs could make a video like this
>This appears to be a splice reel, probably intended to display multiple locations/images from the game. The first few seconds and the latter half of the clip seem to be from different instances of gameplay.
>Assuming you believe this is even real, this video may be showing off a game version that is *years* old. Don't expect a finalized game to look like this.
>A while back, there was a video that investors supposedly were shown of TES VI development. I wouldn't be shocked if this was part of it.
>The "dev message" on the loading screen is very funny. Tons of jokes like that can be found in game files and concept art. I never considered them actively being part of early game builds themselves.
A couple things I noticed so I crammed them for visual reference.
If you follow the river to the sea you encounter a village called Roseguard, which was first introduced in Arena.
(Riverwood was also introduced in Arena)
From Roseguard facing the sea, you have a choice to go left or right.
Taneth is to your right and Rihad is to your left.
The little icon in the corner of the loading screen also looks like a snake devouring itself.
Satakal is a core god of traditional Redguard/Yokudan religion and is depicted as an "ouroboros" serpent swallowing its own tail.
I swear to god if im the first person to figure out the exact starting location for TES VI...
BTW ive learned the original video is close to 2yrs old, and may itself be recorded even longer ago than that. Well before AI was even close to making videos like this.
Interestingly, about two years ago Todd Howard said TES VI had entered a playable state.
Everything we see in the clip *could* still plausibly be faked (i dont think it is), but it'd have to be faked with actual rendering/modeling/texturing/lighting/rigging/animating/etc. not AI
This old Pocket Guide to the Empire illustration confirms that River 100% exists. Going logically we also know Rivers tend to start in lakes and/or highlands, which matches the (lake?) + mountains we see in the video at the start of the thread.
TES Arena Also confirms that Roseguard exists approximately where the river ends as it meets the sea.
Eg. Lake Illinalta in Skyrim (near Helgen) is the source of the White River, which runs past Riverwood, Whiterun, and all the way to Windhelm by the sea.
reposting this for no reason...
obsessed w this fucking tweet
it's like, definitely still mansplaining if the man is dominating the conversation unintentionally and he would totally stop if you asked him to, actually. like, the term exists to describe a phenomenon that arises from the implicit bias that women are expected to simply be less knowledgeable about things. it doesn't matter if he's doing it on purpose or not. he does it cause he expects women to not know things or to not have any input. maybe don't fucking expect women to stand up for themselves every single time they have to have a conversation with a man because that shit happens like daily for a lot of women
genuinely, sincerely, if you are a man you need to learn to shut up when you're talking to women
actually the thing that really gets me is how many people believe "hitting children makes them better" but secretly. do you believe that bad things need to happen to children or they'll end up wrong somehow? do you believe that humans need to be disciplined or they'll never learn important life lessons? do you believe that "strife" or "torture" or whatever produces better art and that people who only have good things happen to them will thus only produce bad art? do you believe that maybe it's not good but children will never listen if there aren't "consequences"?
the problem with tumblr spells is all of you lil sluts are casting and not giving it time to charge so you're all casting cantrips and not 9th level death spells. everyone wants to be the one to take them down no one wants to be the one who assists
we're going to try again witha little but minimal casting
IT will happen in August of 2026. like to charge and reblog to cast but cast sparingly
Wait stop. everyone +like now and spread it a little but cast on the same day in August. lets try August 6th or something.
CAST NOW!!!
CAST MORE

So every year, my aquarium does a captive lobster hatchery project (hence all the loblings). The reason we’re doing it is because in the wild, loblings only have a 1 in 25,000 chance of surviving their larval phase. They’re plankton as babies and everything eats them. Additionally, as the Gulf of Maine warms, they are having even lower survival rates because the blooms of copepods they feed on as babies are happening earlier in the year, and they’re missing it.
Obviously, the goal of this experiment is to grow the lobsters until they’re big enough to settle to the seabed and then release them, because they have a much higher likelihood of surviving to adulthood when they’re able to hide. Ideally, captive lobster hatcheries can boost the wild population and keep things stable, so we don’t have a major crash in a decade or two.
The first year we tried this was pretty bad. We had a lot of eggs, but very few babies. It turned out that the CO2 levels in the building spiked as more guests visited throughout the summer, and that settled into the water and threw off the pH and caused a chemical reaction that prevented a lot of the eggs from hatching. I think we ended up releasing three baby lobsters (which is still better than their wild survival rate but not great).
The second year was a little better. We added a de-gasser to the aquarium and got a ton of larval lobsters, but right as they were settling to the bottom we had a disease outbreak that killed most of them. We ended up releasing four babies at the end of the season.
But this year? Oh boy. We have so many lobsters that we had to release the first round early (usually we wait till September or October so guests can see them). We just released a total of FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE baby lobsters, and we still have over a hundred who haven’t settled to the bottom yet. I genuinely don’t even have words to explain how cool this is. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. We just added hundreds of lobsters to the wild population that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.
Conservation is so fucken sick

I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.
It’s a win win. I get a bit of hope, you get a cute birb photo

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I would actually go as far as to say that MOST abuse is unintentional. I think most people will go through their lives without ever experiencing intentional abuse. People are abusive because they're selfish, because they're stressed, because they care more about what society thinks they should do than the impacts of their actions on their children and partners, because they think what they're doing is correct, because they've made it make sense in their own heads, because they think they can fix their victims, they think they can fix their relationships, they think they can stop you from leaving, they think they can make you a better partner to them, they think that means you need to do what they want. We've sort of constructed mental illness in a way that doing this shit to other people counts as a form of mental illness because it is anti social behavior in the literal sense— it is behavior that causes social harm.
I don't say any of this to excuse it. I think everyone needs to be more aware of this because if you think abuse has to be intentional you will never realize you are capable of abusive behavior. You will never realize you are being shitty to the people you love, because YOU know what you mean, YOU know you don't mean any harm. But you're doing harm. You need to pay attention to the impact you have on other people, and you need to do it all the time, Especially when you feel least capable of doing so. Sorry! You live in a society. Get your head out of your ass.
I humbly offer this contribution.
Everybody say "thank you south america" for the humble potato
Actually let's get specific with it
*checks wiki*
Everybody say thank you indigenous people of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia from 7-10,000 years ago for the humble potato
