trust me, I'm a cat.

There is 10x zoom in XP-era MSPaint, you need to click just right below the 8x setting, there is like 2-3 pixels-high line you need to click in the tool window

Also, I was reading about TES Oblivion earlier and apparently the psycho main antagonist of the Dark Brotherhood (this guy) gets super distracted and uneasy when trying to justify his actions, if you toss his mother's severed head* on the floor when you confront him and reveal his identity as the traitor in front of the other DB higher-ups.
I mean, it makes sense in a way, I suppose! I think he handles the situation rather well, given that...unexpected turn of events :D


* Which you find on a table/shrine in his house, while you search for evidence. He seems to talk to it a lot too, during his downtime.

Yep, it happens in speedruns quite a lot, especially in the all fortress runs.

lol yeah, i've done this. i wish skyrim dark brotherhood had been a little better about that kind of thing. most of the quests, you don't even really know why you're killing the target and it's mostly easiest to just slit their throats. in oblivion, you can usually piece out what's going on, like when you drop the deer head on the guy and it's obviously his heir. it also had fun stuff like going back to find the guy who insults you at the beginning of the game and the agatha christie house.

The guild questlines are one of the few points where I think Skyrim is inarguably a huge step down from Oblivion (I know they're both bad etc but there's fun to be wrangled out of Skyrim if you have the brain disease that makes you look for it, imo, whereas Oblivion was miserable)

Oh yeah, that murder party was brilliant! :D Thanks for reminding me about the guy in the cell opposite at the start too, since it was always hilarious encountering him again. Oh how he changed his tune, seeing you rock up again! haha

i think in the end i actually like oblivion better but it's basically unplayable without mods so i'll probably never go back to it.

I'll never be able to judge fairly tbh, Oblivion was my most anticipated game in the world and when it turned out disappointing i took it personally in the way only a 14/15 year old can, whereas i had 0 expectations for Skyrim and ended up having an ok time. I think my 2006 suspension from the Elder Scrolls Forum expires next year actually

I think this was the experience of most morrowind players. I got excited to mod oblivion but they hosed up the construction set and made everything nested menus within menus and it was too hard to do anything

I really enjoyed Oblivion but it was my intro to TES so that might be why.

Skyrim fell flat and just felt like a dumbed down version of oblivion with snow effects.

oblivion was my first too which is probably why i liked it. i still liked skyrim tbh but as their games go on, it feels like they put less effort into the guilds and rely more and more on radiant quests. i swear every other quest in fallout 4 sends you to that one car factory with all the raiders.

I played Morrowind first and I think it's an all-time GOTY and a unique gem of a game, then Oblivion came and blew my nutsack off with all the cool poo poo that's going on there, and then there's Skyrim, which was fun for a while but just doesn't come close to the other two games. Morrowind and Oblivion are both just better than Skyrim.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must smoke one last cigarette before Todd blows me off the face of the earth with a tactical drone strike.
