About 2 weeks ago I bought a $200 Lego set from a seller on eBay. It took them about a week to make the shipping label. The tracking number eBay had said it would be getting delivered today, and I also checked it on UPS. Both had the right town, but didn't show the actual shipping address. Around noon both updated to say the item had been delivered, but it never reached me. The UPS delivery proof photo is not of my house, and the package seems too small to be what I ordered. I called UPS and they told me the receiver on the package was a different address and name entirely from me, even though it was the right town. Ebay seller contacted me a few hours later, saying their employee had entered the wrong shipping info, and when they tried to get their supplier to fix it, the supplier said my address can't be serviced (I live in a major metro, it's not remote). Seller is offered a full refund, which has already been processed.

I'm just confused. Am I getting scammed somehow? It's a very small shop, I doubt both I and someone else in my neighborhood both ordered an item from them at the same time. I had someone on another subreddit tell me it's called an "empty envelope scam", but I looked it up, it seems to describe a scam where someone sends an unsolicited item to your address. Not whatever this was.

When it came out last year I was turned off by the bugs and the lack of voice acting, so I decided to wait for a few months to let them iron those out. I knew that most mods release as a "1.0" or "Beta", especially anything as complex as a new lands mod, so that was fine to me.

It's been almost a year now though, and Lordbound still has a bunch of bugs and a lot of missing VA. Has there been any news about an update?

I can't remember seeing anything about Redguards magic besides Sword Singing. But that's a lost art. Surely Redguards must use "regular" magic too. But do they have any magic guilds or lore about it?

This mission is kicking my butt. I tried building walls around my starting base to protect it from attacks. Eventually I run out of wood and stone, and I can't build a big enough force of aircraft/siege weapons/mortar infantry to protect the entire perimeter. I also tried zerg rushing the rebels (Green) taking heavy losses, but even after destroying their capital, they can still bounce back by building citizens/buildings/units, so eventually I lose to attrition. Not to mention the attacks from the other civs. How in the world are you supposed to beat this scenario?

Hi, I just found out what Runescape private servers are. Like many people I quit Runescape2 with Evolution of Combat, but I also never got back in with OSRS since it was missing a lot of content between 2007 and 2012 that I actually liked. Big quests like While Guthix Sleeps and Ritual of Maharajaat, QoL features like the toolbelt, etc.

Are there any private servers that are specifically built on a revision around that period and is fully functioning (i.e. no missing or broken content) and doesn't have extraneous additions (stuff like guns, cars, etc.)?

Ideally it would be free, not malware, and not likely to disappear. Bonus points if I can adjust the XP rate and run it locally or is open source.

Basically I want to make bigger versions of the other 3 sets and put them next to the 10311 Orchid, instead of the 10343 Mini Orchid.

Opening the box, opening the bags, building the set, losing the extra pieces, etc.

A lot of people have issues with the main quest, but what specifically was the Extended Team going to do with it to improve it? What parts were going to change? What was the new story going to be?

From their announcement post back in 2020,

> expanded third act,

> Dragonborn DLC main quest integrated with Skyrim main quest

> more characterization for Alduin & Miraak

> more Thalmor involvement

> Blades faction overhaul

> more stuff to do in Blackreach

> mostly new core cast

> focus on player agency

> guild and side quest completion impact on main quest

But how exactly were they planning to integrate Dragonborn into the main quest? How would the Thalmor be involved? How would the Blades be different? What would you do in Blackreach?

And what about the cut content about integrating Markarth's forsworn conspiracy and the Mephala quest into it?

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, I only got back into Legos last winter. It seems like these designer program lego sets are very popular and high in demand, so is there any reason Lego wouldn't re-release them as official, regular sets in the future?

I'm talking about places where moving to would be considered a "hardship", so they offer more to make up for it. I'm talking full "expat package", higher salaries, living costs, flights, schooling for kids, full insurance, etc. all covered for by the company.

I built this pc when I graduated college 5 or 6 years ago. I read up a lot on the different components and which ones were the best / cost effective at the time, but life got busy and I stopped following the discussion around PCs. Thankfully life has gotten less busy lately and I figure it's time I start upgrading.

Usecase: I think the most resource intensive things the PC gets used for are Paradox games, heavily modded skyrim, and having chrome open with lots of tabs.

Budget: $1000

Country of Purchase: US (I have a Microcenter near me)

Other: I really like the look of those pc cases with wood on the front that they have now, but I'm guessing the case is low priority compared to the insides.

They all seem to wear robes.

I have been away from the scene for a couple of years. Which groups that are active these days rip blu ray raws and release it alongside all the bonus content? Stuff like secondary audio tracks, booklet scans, menu screens, PV, OP/ED, etc. Bonus if they have chapters on the episodes as well. My goto used to be Moozzi2 but it seems they aren't as active as before.

quick check of uesp cites a loading screen that says

> Orcs, also known as Orsimer, are natives of Orsinium, a small mountain kingdom between Hammerfell and Skyrim. It has been sacked and rebuilt many times.

as the source of orsinium existing in present day. but to me this feels like it could be interpreted either way? either

1. Orsinium currently exists, and historically it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times.

or

2. Orsinium existed repeatedly in the past, but may or may not currently stand.

like if i said "yugoslavia is a country in southern europe. it has been fractured and reformed many times", that doesn't mean im saying yugoslavia currently exists.

Most of the Great Houses have a color associated with them. The ones I know of are:

Redoran is red.

Telvanni is brown.

Indoril is blue.

Hlaalu was yellow.

That leaves Dres, Sadras, and Dagoth. Were they ever given colors?

Randomly had this thought last night, but we have a big ass river running east to west. Would a ferry service on it not be a decent additional method of public transportation? Obviously there are bigger issues with the busses and train systems that need to be addressed first, but has anyone looked into the potential for adding boats?
