"As in the previous games, the Khajiit have long, humanoid legs and a tail."

...What does that even mean? I want that to mean digitigrade like Morrowind rather than 100% human like Oblivion's but "humanoid" could loosely apply to either. Gah!

I just played through the entirety of Earthbound for the first time, over the course of 4 days.

How...can a game be this good? I don't understand it. If games can be this good, why aren't they?

Has there been any screens or footage with Argonians at all? I'm curious how they look this time. I think there was some Khajiit shown briefly, though only from torso upwards, so not entirely sure if they've got human-like legs or the Morrowindish ones.

There's apparently a (small, blurry) concept art of an Argonian floating around. The legs appear to be somewhere in between... They're not 100% human like in Oblivion, but they're not properly digitigrade either. More like humanoid with a small extra bend in them. How/If this actually translates to the in-game models and animations is anyone's guess.

Question:
Is it possible to make a workshop reaction that uses any body part from a single species of animal?
For example, you could give it a cat corpse or cat head or cat fur or cat cartilage, and they would all produce the same thing, but dog parts wouldn't work?

Somehow it feels like, every time I finish reading something good, the rest of the universe is diminished in its brightness and I will never seen anything so beautiful again.

I've had something like an extreme version of that a couple of times...
When I marathoned Gurren Lagann a couple years back, I became convinced it was the most intensely awesome thing I'd ever seen in my life. Which was great, but once it sunk in that it was over my mood absolutely crashed because I felt like nothing else existed that could match it. It was seriously something like a week before I could feel happiness about anything again. It all seems pretty silly in retrospect...

It seems my state of mind is affected way too much by fictional things. :/

I made it all the way through Silent Hill 2, and it was brilliant.

Many years back, I put forward the theory that what stops horror games from being truly horrifying is the fact that your ability to fight back effectively means you end up feeling in control of the situation. The baddies aren't as terrifying when you know you can just pump whatever jumps out at you full of lead and be safe again immediately.

Fast forward a few years to when the Penumbra demo came out. I was like "finally, this is it!"

I got as far as the first monster and fearquit forever. 

While not the most horrifying, Scratches also deserves special mention for managing to freak me the hell out in a game with no enemies where nothing can hurt you.

I wanted to show off a creepy song but couldn't find it online, so decided to upload it to Youtube. Cue wasting an hour struggling to get into my Youtube account which I made 4 years ago and used once. None of my passwords worked, and none of the recovery emails were making it through so I had to go on some wild and elaborate treasure hunt to figure out how to add the Youtube email address to my safe list. Then it wouldn't let me use it until I linked it to a Google account I'm pretty sure I never created but apparently exists, so the password's a mystery again now.

Sad thread because I don't think anyone actually looked at the video.
