Glad I read everything about this terrible patch before downloading it and installing it. Hope they release one that makes everything peachy-keen soon!

You guys see that Yahtzee gave Skyrim a positive review? I don't think he gave a good review for Oblivion.

One thing I'm finding about this game is playing it is an absolute blast.... talking to other people who played it is extremely boring. We both want to tell the other person what WE did in the game, and really have no interest in what the other person did in the game...lol. Maybe its just me.

+1 Yes. But the beauty of this game, is that when you sit down to play it, its YOUR game, and that can be a very different experience from anyone else. :)

Anyone know of a mod that says which books you already read?

I would kill for this! I've probably wasted more time re-opening books than anything else. What really gets me, is I will see the name of the book, be like, I've opened this before, BUT I STILL OPEN IT JUST IN CASE IT MIGHT GIVE A POINT! it never does :(

Just FYI guys: look at the value of the book. If it's less than 20 or so, it's not going to give you a skill point and you can skip it. Any book I've read that gives a skill point is generally worth at least 50, sometimes less, sometimes more.

Thanks for pointing that out, will save me some time for sure. Still would be nice for some kind of notification because I read EVERY book since I am so terrible with TES lore. The books have been fantastic reading but there are tons of them.

Just a note: playing on 360 and staying on 1.1 patch for now, apparently Beth is releasing a 1.2.1 patch next week. Fully recommend folks to wait, though, and see how that turns out. I know some people aren't having problems with 1.2 but others have an unplayable game, which is not cool.

That's always been the giveaway for me since Oblivion times too.

Books can also reveal new map locations or start quests.

Finally had a trouble free night, with the 1.2 patch yesterday. Was able to play for roughly 4 hours straight, and not a single issue, hiccup, or glitch. I was very amazing, and enjoyed it a ton. Finally finished making Legendary Daedric Armor. Now I'm trying to figure out how to exactly fill up a empty Black Soul Gem. I have 2 of them, but my mace that steal souls isn't filling them. I've tried killing everything from a bear, undead, to a dragon. Nothing is doing it.... Any suggestions?

Think of how people played games before the Internet existed!

We would spend millions of hours in them :p But many of us are adults now, and don't have the time.

I was watching this mega man vs mega man

and was like, " This guy nailed it. Game developers have made games too easy and made for below the average joe. " But then skyrim comes along, well, as well as Demon/Dark Souls, which don't treat the gamer to any type of hint. They just throw you into this world of fantasy, and expect you to just learn it or never know about it. I think game developers need to find some middle ground to this, which doesn't include me having to buy some guide or go online in hopes to find a community to discuss it and learn from.

( everyone watch that video if you haven't and you enjoy games. It is funny and makes a lot of sense. )

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update
