11 years ago today, ZeniMax Media published the Bethesda Softworks game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. And the world, and my life, would never be the same.

For the last 11 years of my life - through the births of five children, and three divorces, and two bankrupcies, and that month I was in jail because apparently it is a crime to jokingly write a bad check - Skyrim has been a constant part of my online identity.

I don't even know why. It is the third best TES game at best, and maybe clears the top 15 games of all time list. So it isn't the best game. But it remains one of the most FUN games, even if that might be mostly due to unpredictable emergent open-world gameplay, and a ton of insane, wacky glitches. Fun counts for a lot in this terrible straight world in which we are forced to live, and Skyrim? Skyrim brought that fun.

For a taste of that fun, here is my previous Tumblr blog, that I can't access now because I don't remember the password to the email address it was linked to:

"That is your tribute to that game?! Shamelessly promoting a dead TES fan Tumblr?!"

Well, yes, fuckstone. Because that blog is 11 crazy, cringey years of my life, bound up in TES fandom, and all thanks to Skyrim. Because I had played Oblivion before Skyrim, but I didn't become a gross fanboy lorehound until I played Skyrim and got interested in the setting of this world where horses could climb mountains. Then I played Morrowind with cheats enabled and my journey into sad geekdom began.

So that not-a-link (I can't get it to post a link right, fuck it) is a fitting tribute. I'm sure it would blow the mind of 14 year old Toddathan Phelonius Howard if he knew that the game he was spending months single-handedly programming in his parents basement has now become the puzzle-filled masterwork inspiring millions of imaginations. Thank you for all your hard work, Todd. We are ALL laughing now.

Because Skyrim is not a glitch. 11 years later, it is truly a FEATURE.

Good luck with Skyrim! The Anniversary Edition update on the Switch isn't actually technically vanilla. It includes a bunch of "official" mods, some maid by well known fan modders like Elianora, Hothtrooper and Trainwiz, others by unknown developers. Neither Survival nor Fishing was actually in the original release back in 2011. I started another character recently on the Switch, the quality of the new content unfortunately seems to be quite varied. Also the update introduced some new bugs that made some quests impossible to start. So far I've only encountered one's completely broken like that on Solstheim, the island of the Dragonborn DLC, and one of them was a very minor quest, but unfortunately the other is the start of a short chain that gets you the only obtainable house on the island. Anyway, long story short, Skyrim definitely lives up to its buggy reputation, even 11 years later. I highly recommend UESP, if there's a workaround possible, that website will explain it

my playthrough was going very poorly and i couldn't figure out why. i didn't remember the game being this difficult. >> but then i learned how to level up and things are going MUCH more smoothly now! c:

and that's pretty neat! I didn't realize unofficial mods were included in the game now. Solstheim DLC was my favorite part of Morrowind and I really liked it the last time I played through Skyrim, so fingers crossed it doesn't glitch out for me.

So is this blog just now "trainwiz posts gamedev advice"

No sometimes I might post my cat.

Unleash Your Imagination in Underspace

Underspace sandbox RPG game with a Lovecraftian side playable on Linux via Windows PC. Thanks to the skilled crew at Pastaspace Interactive for making this happen. Available now on Steam Early Access and GOG with 79% Positive reviews. So, I recently dove into Underspace, the latest project from Pastaspace Interactive, which is a sandbox RPG. Also spearheaded by the modding legend Trainwiz. You know, the guy who gave us those wild Thomas the Tank Engine mods in Starfield and Skyrim. Now, this isn't just any launch - it's a big deal, getting a thanks in GamingBolt's "15 Big Titles Launching in April 2024". Pastaspace Interactive also emailed, "we have confirmed Linux sales and functionality!" Just a heads-up: the Underspace sandbox RPG doesn't have a native build. Early Access development is using Unity 3D. Where it is due to remain for the next year. But, good news - Proton support works smoothly; I've tested it myself. Still, it's wise to keep asking for Linux support in the Discussions. Big thanks to everyone who's already on it. What's unique about the Underspace sandbox RPG? This is a classic vibe from games like Freelancer but with a twist. You're thrown into a vast, meticulously crafted cosmos - over 110 star systems, all handmade, packed with stuff to discover. It's also pure exploration without shortcuts; no fast travel here. You zip around using lanelines, engines with three thrust levels, and also jump gates. It's like taking a road trip in space.

Your Ship, Your Character, Your Choice: Over 60 ships to fly and customize. Equip your ship with 500+ parts. Shape your character with a deep skill tree.

Every Star A Story: Interact with 40+ factions, each with their own stories and quests.

Early Access also promises mod support, PvP, co-op, planetary exploration, and more to come. Quick facts: Single Player, Multiplayer PvP & Co-op modes are in the works. Underspace is more than a simple sandbox RPG adventure game; it's an deep experience that lets you carve out your own path. Whether you're battling cosmic horrors, exploring uncharted systems, or dealing with intriguing factions, there's something for everyone. It's a universe brimming with possibilities, waiting for you to make your mark. Don't miss this one; it's shaping up to be a real gem in the space RPG genre. Available now on Steam and GOG.

The mud replaced all ships in Starfield with Thomas the Tank Engine

The time has come. Starfield received the most significant change in the history of any Bethesda RPG. As usual, she fills the game with replicas of Thomas the Tank Engine from the children’s animated series Thomas and Friends. Image Source: Nexus Mods (Trainwiz) The diabolical creation is called ‘Really Useful Starfield’, is owned by Nexus Mods user under the thematic pseudonym Trainwiz and…
