Skyrim’s first Godzilla Rider

Last year Godzilla dropped off countless eggs at my Guild’s doorsteps. He was going on an overdue honeymoon with Mothra and needed someone to watch the eggs. Not long after they hatched and we have watched over the little murder gremlins as they grew.

But our little Babyzillas have become Youngzillas and the time has come for them to start to venture out into Skyrim, under supervision of course! The last time they were not properly supervised they ate Riften……this Khajiit’s bad. While the Silverpeak Lodge has many members only a handful are capable of keeping them from doing too much damage, and so this one’s mate Sephiroth was chosen to take them out on their first journey. But don’t worry as this is only the first of many adventures, and who knows maybe Big G himself may comeback one day to lead his many children😇😈

(This video was more of a testing/proof of concept to see if my Xbox could handle this. Now that I know it can let’s just say I have……ideas)

ShelbyWolf's Papyrus Extended - (AE SE)

I made an SKSE plugin that exposes native function that vanilla Papyrus doesn't provide🥺 — things like quest-scoped hit/attack events, werewolf state detection, moon phases, wind speed, and more. No more OnUpdate polling hacks🎉

If you make Skyrim mods, go take a look😀
nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/180421

>!✔️I do plan on adding more functions and other useful things in the future 😺!<

Skyrim now supports HDR through the Community Shaders mod

It finally happened. Humanity has peaked.
Skyrim now supports HDR through the Community Shaders mod:
https://nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/179371 (HDR screenshots are in there)

HDR Den developers worked closely with Davo & Doodlum to bring this to life, in a process that lasted almost 2 years: the results are absolutely stunning!

Skyrim basically didn't do any tonemapping: it simply clipped all highlights. Since the game’s average brightness is very high, a huge amount of the scene could end up clipped at any given time: snow, fire, skies, spells, sky, etc.
With HDR, these finally retain detail, showcasing the art as it was made!
We also tweaked shadow to keep more detail, without losing contrast (the game clipped a lot of near-black colors due to ancient contrast formulas).

Stay tuned as there's more to come (HDR support for post-processing rework mods)!

Ok but *why* did Bethesda change the old nord pantheon?

I mean, I know the reasons “why.” They wanted to keep the lore more accessible and make it familiar to returning players from Oblivion. And to be fair, by itself the conflict between Talos worship vs Loyalty to the Empire is interesting enough.

But man, every time I go back and read about the awesome shamanistic religion of old Nord lore, I can’t help but feel we missed something incredibly 😭

I guess like, does anyone have any insider info about the creative decisions that made them make the switch? I wanna know what they were thinking when they got rid of mah girl Kyne…

The penguin marches again but this time not alone

Penny the Penguin born once again has decided to march across Skyrim, only this time he is not alone. After reaching the mountain top and joining the Silverpeak Lodge guild he became close friend with the Greybeards, who have since become the Greenbeards Master of the Ganja Way.

After partaking in a red herbs they have become more powerful and ever and upon learning their friend Penny wished to march across Skyrim alone vowed to protect him! During their journey the cane across a large Giant encampment, apparently Giants consider Penguins a delicacy. Upon learning the giants intention the Greenbeards became enraged, they left no survivors

Some of my Fallout collection

Some of my fallout collection. I have a lot of stuff I still need to put up(like the 2014 replica weapons) and I really need to rearrange the shelves loaded up with everything. Just finished getting all the shelves put up so I had the space for it all!

Took my mate Partysnax to crash a giant rave

Partysnax is a party crasher. This Khajiit found the giants having a rave at one of their encampment and apparently they forget to invite Partysnax! But fortunately this one’s husband is always up for a party, he even brought all his children to play!

Im tired boss

TES VI announced in 2018 and in Nov of 2025 Todd Howard asks for patience…
Fallout 5 will come after 2030…
Starfield being a hollow space game…
I love the games and i hate Bethesda, they just do what they want and don’t care about the fans.
How the hell you announce a game and 7 years later you don’t have a SINGLE SCREENSHOT.
Honestly, im a Fallout fan, but i feel bad for TES fans and im worried about waiting to play a new Fallout game in the next decade.
My 4yo cousin would make a better management than Bethesda man, im just tired of them.

I’ve been playing for 20 years and just learned the duplication glitch

Let me start off by saying I am not a social media person and only recently got on Reddit, and when this game first came out I was extremely anti social so I have never heard of the duplication glitch until today! I also am an Xbox play so no mods. Thankfully when one of my gamer friends heard I was starting a new game on the original Oblivion he told me about the glitch, I thought he was messing with me until I tried it and it worked……are you telling me I had a money glitch this entire time and all I needed was two of the same scrolls?!😭😭😭😭😭😭

Lookup Failed after big download today

Help. I opened Starfield today on XBOXX like always and I got hit by an automatic download. It took about 5-10 minutes. Now I keep getting LOOKUP FAILED all over the mission menu and the dialogue makes no sense. The labels on locations is off. I restarted the game and console. I reloaded an older save from a week ago. Nothing works. I gave up after 90 minutes of messing with it. Help. I am at level 112 and would rather not start over.

Fallout 4 was the game that turned this franchise into one of my favorites of all time. If you are anything like me you'll probably enjoy this video!

Meet the newest DB the Thane of Bud Light

The Silverpeak Lodge is used to unusual guests and members, but waking up to a large and skilled warrior who introduced himself as the Thane of Bud Light was strange even by our standards. Thankfully they brought a large supply of mead as a gift, even Kratos can’t get enough of it! This one knows not where this land of Bud Light is but they make excellent drinks compared to Skyrim!

I plan on doing a Bud Light DB after work but am unsure what race to use. What Skyrim race do you think would enjoy Bud Light the most🤔

(I’m on Xbox so this is the only mod like this I could find, and anyone who is familiar with me already knows when I see something like this I HAVE to use it)

You forgot something mate

Seriously, that game is honestly bad.

I am usually very lenient when it comes to games but this is something else.

Wolfenstein Youngblood has terrible bullet spongy gameplay and a terrible story that also skips the most important part of the timeline.

Seriously hoping they retcon that game out of existence.
