Ok here is something

I was watching a surgery and after they were done they filled the person's wound with what almost looks like red flakes before closing them up.

I assume this is some sort of filler so the person doesn't suffer from having a big gape.

Yet what is it exactly?

I was attempting to tune my guitar and one of the strings (the highest on3, I think that's the first string?) made a loud twang when I turned the knob a little and is now a lot lower than it was. Did I mess something up or did it just do something weird? Kinda worried honestly

...Dammit, that sounds SO familiar from when I played violin.  But due to time and drink, I can't remember exactly why it happened.  It only happened with the loose-adjustment knobs on the neck, not the fine-adjustment screws at the base...

I seem to remember it being no big deal, but that's generally terrible advice to offer.  So hopefully someone actually knows WTF is going on.

How can I build something that behaves just like an N64 and is the same size, without taking any components from an existing N64?

I estimate a raspberry pi can probably emulate a N64 pretty well.  Though if you need something that can read a real physical N64 cartridge, haha, good fucking luck.

Laptop + emulator + adaptors for the cartridges + façade of your choice, such as a shipping box.

Why has Bethesda not written a competent story since Morrowind?

It makes no sense for a company to go from being good at what they do... To being as dismal as they are.

Did they lose their original team? Did they stop caring? What happened?

AFAIK Oblivion and Morrowind were both Ken Rolston's doing on the whole; he's credited as "lead designer", but I've seen him mentioned a lot when it comes to writing, so he probably did many of the quests. Morrowind especially had a huge amount of worldbuilding done by Michael Kirkbride and Kurt Kuhlmann.

Skyrim, Fallout 3 and Fallout 4's lead writer was Emil Pagliarulo. I don't know much about him, except for the previous fact.

Does anybody know where I can find the latest kic 8462852 news? Since the hullabaloo last year it hasn't appeared in the news much.

God, Morrowind. I almost hate it, because whenever I'm ready to just write off Fantasy as a dead and derivative genre, I have to remember Morrowind and know how much unbreached potential is still out there.

I mean, that and losing a 325 hour save file.

A whole bunch of lumps of ice and rock, orbiting Saturn at various speeds.

That said, the rings are so huge they'd "reform" as they neared the "horizon". Which probably looks pretty damn cool.
