The print is smudgy and the oval graphic on the print is a raster that's already been stretched, I think. Add the image focus being a little off and the compression by the file host, and it's a conjunction of mess.

I actually didn't realize they'd renamed it from μBlock to uBlock. I assumed people typed the latter for convenience.

Protocol is strictly "Madam".

You'll see the same in other positions -- Madam Speaker, Madam Secretary, Madam Ambassador.

Succinct and accurate. Really wish people were more objective and less polarized on software.

We're excited to announce the new Sony WH1000XM6 headphones, enhanced by the power of spanners!

I don't see why my headphones need a sp-

Conveniently built in to your headset, you can use the spanner to adjust bolt tightness on-the-go!

Okay, but that's not wh-

We're proud to be leading the market in spanner-augmented products to bring a new level of convenience to your life.

...

Spanner may sometimes only appear to tighten bolts. Please don't ask us the energy cost of manufacturing the spanner.

It's part of the Manoogian collection in Detroit, MI. It's called Shore of the Turquoise Sea or sometimes just Emerald Sea.

Spoiler: he doesn't dieHis "enchanted hammer generates enough cosmic power to harden the molten lava and lift him up again." Duh.

Remastering mistake, I think - in the ComicVine link you posted, the rightmost finger is absent.

25th or 26th October seems likely to me based on the first announcement (Twitter link).

There's a ton of history on Wikipedia. Most of it is the council coming up with new reasons to demolish it or plans to change it, with no convincing motive.

The most notable things for me were:

  • An allegation that they want the bridge demolished to remove the trams that mar the modernity of the waterfront regeneration project nearby.
  • A mention of ~~Chinese lenders bankrolling the demolition and construction~~ a Chinese construction firm being awarded the contract for constructing a new bridge.
  • A mention of a Russian construction and design group submitting plans for transforming and relocating the existing bridge.

This ancient Dwemer freehold straddles the border of the Grazelands and the Ashlands, and served historically as an important neutral ground for diplomatic talks. Its remaining inhabitants are not so eager for polite conversation.

 

CONFESSION TIME: we have an ulterior motive with this new series. It's not very evil, though. We love showing off what we've made, the attention we pay to detail, and our determination to make Skywind really goddamn good, BUT...

WE NEED 3D CLOTHING ARTISTS. It's a major bottleneck for us at the moment, and has been for some time. If you've got experience in modelling 3D clothing and soft materials, or if you know someone else who fits the bill, we'd be really keen to hear from them. Tell everyone you know 💚

On Feb 3rd, we’ll be part of the Community Creation Con supported by Nexus Mods, Bethesda Game Studios, GOG.com, and more, to benefit Make-a-Wish.

We’ll be giving a whistlestop tour of Skywind, what it is (and isn’t), and answering our most frequently-asked questions, live on Twitch.

Join us on February 3rd at 12:30pm! Donate if you can. Watch out for the full schedule on https://twitter.com/C3Modders

 

And a teaser for 2024: we were also busy last year working on a mini video series to showcase specific Skywind items, from the very first concepts and ideas right through to the final in-game asset. More on that very soon!

You can help! If you know a 3D artist who might want to help with future models for Skywind - especially clothing artists - please send them our way. We’d love to hear from them: https://discord.gg/skywind

 

One of the last remaining interiors in the Hlaalu Canton of Vivec City, the Bunkhouse! With NPCs having daily routines in Skywind, they all need places to sleep, thus the need arises for new interiors, such as inn rooms, private quarters, and bunkhouses. Located in the docks and connected to the waistworks, the bunkhouse grants its inhabitants easy access to all of Hlaalu Canton!

 

Should find yourself in a pesky succession feud during your Skywind adventures, have no fear: you’ll be battling your challenger in a beautifully designed Arena fit for a Councilman! During your heroic fight, take inspiration from the cozy canopied seating areas, atmospheric tapestries, and of course, the motivational bloodstains.

 

A sliding scale of shields: Imperial Dragonscale shield set concepts, by Vitaly Muzyka.

This set of shields might not protect you from bad puns, but the formidable and rare set includes a size for every player, from a buckler for parrying to a tower shield to make you a moving fortress.

See more details on Vitaly’s ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/xDN9rr

Description: conceptual drawings of three intricately-worked shields, with front and back views and a sketched three-quarter view of each. Each are dragonscale with metal inlay. The buckler, shield, and tower shield all bear a mean spike on the boss. The handles are wrapped with red cloth.
