I like that the plot of Morrowind isn't hinged on a big event happening that demands immediate attention. Your orders are to report to the blades agent per the emperor, but who's checking? Fuck that guy. You're not thrust into the narrative by an assassination of the emperor or the return of dragons after a thousand years. You're running an errand that you may not care about. This goes hand in hand with the problems of Morrowind being dire but not immediately catastrophic; they've been festering, and they can do so longer before we may all be doomed.

If you ignore the dragons or the oblivion gates it's kinda hard to overlook that the problems don't escalate without your intervention. If you ignore the main quest in Morrowind things will continue to be really bad because they have been for a while, so it's easier to excuse the plot being ignorable. Whereas if you never tell Balgruuf that dragons are returning, no other dragons will ever appear, even if you wait a year's time or ten, Alduin will not resurrect a single dragon until or unless you have taken the steps to be able to handle it.

Star Trek equivalent of a "Glup Shitto" is some obscure class of Federation starship that was only ever seen on screen for 0.68 seconds as a battle-damaged wreck at Wolf 359, but which somehow has a model from Eaglemoss, multiple, lengthy video essays discussing its lore, and an extremely vocal fan campaign by people demanding that it be made playable in Star Trek Online.

@imadoctornotanescalator As you’ve commented before, this is probably how you’d classify my favorite obscure Trek characters. I love those Jupp Shippos. XD

UK friends heads up, I know I don't usually share this stuff (largely for my own sanity) but Starmer and his lot are planning to announce this nonsense on Monday. I've been worried this was going to happen for ages now, but I didn't think it'd be so soon.

Hi my name is Elim (Tain) Garak and I have ebony black hair as soft as a regnar’s (that's how I got my code name) with gray streaks that reaches my chin and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Enabran Tain (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Preloc but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie and an amazing author. I'm half Hebitian but I pass as full Cardassian. I have pale gray scales. I'm also a spy, and I live in a space station called DS9 in Bajoran space where I’m a tailor (I'm 49). I'm a patriot (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly cardassian styles. I love the National State Clothiers and I illegally import all my fabrics from there. For example today I was wearing a brown shirt with matching brown pants and a shoulder pads, purple accents and a leopard print undershirt. I had gel in my hair, blue ridge blush and forehead blush. I was walking around the promenade. The temperature controls were malfunctioning so it was warmer than usual, which I was very happy about. A lot of federajis stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

Anyway while I don't think Dungeon Meshi is by any means perfect (it is very extremely good, it just has a few things which don't quite stick the landing for me personally) I think it is one of the best examples of media in the broad genre of "dungeon fantasy" that engages with many of the conventions and tropes of the genre critically while at the same time being very reverent of the genre itself. It is both a good example of the genre it's a part of while also examining some of the ideas of said genre and I think that's a lot better than a lot of "irreverent take on D&D" media. The motivations of the main cast are quite mercenary and the story very much doesn't start out as a quest to save the world but a quest to save someone who got in trouble during a get-rich-quick scheme, but the characters are still fun and sympathetic.

[thydungeongal]

And like one of the tropes of the genre it engages with critically is central to its story, which is the whole idea of food as more than just fuel for dungeon crawling but as a make-or-break thing where the ingredients used and actual nutrition matters. Most dungeon-crawling fantasy just ignores this, at most giving a contrast between food that's just boring fuel/stale rations and food that's actually sold at da store back in town, but the difference doesn't actually have teeth in the narrative. It doesn't matter whether Goblin Steve ate icky stale rations that day or had a delicious feast at the banquet, they both just count as the thing stops the hunger mechanic kicking in. Anyway yeah so Dungeon Meshi is like "there actually is a difference."
