We did Elder Scrolls tier lists on Discord so I figured I'd share my terrible opinion on here.
Honestly, Morrowind could probably drop down one slot, but I'm too nostalgic for it. I think each game does something different really well. I don't think there's a "best" TES game.
OMG I might be having a revelation.
I found my high school leaving book the other day and it has this page in it where my friends wrote down the phrases I'd said through my entire high school - I said them so often (multiple times a day every day) that they became a "thing."
Now wondering if this is an #ActuallyAutistic thing cos I'm the same now though many of the phrases have changed.
My old name is on the top (I changed it in the alt text) - please ignore!
What got me out of that was realizing that what other people did to me wasn't as bad as what I'd been doing myself - accepting the blame for what they'd done, because it had to be something wrong with me. I've been working on that - not blaming myself, not beating myself up. If I was an ass, sure, I'll own that, and I'll apologize, but if I was just being my autistic self and they reacted badly, that's on them, not me.
#introduction post?
I'm Dan.
I don't generally do social media.
And yet here I am.
Trying out this Fedi thing,
excited to have a space where I can just be myself.
Hey, I'm so honored to be here with the cool crew on the Beige Party Boat!
I'm not allowed to follow any more people until after 8PM, says whomever's dad is in charge of that kind of thing.
As a little intro, for those who don't know me: I am an avid reader and reviewer of mostly fiction. I really do love to learn about anything, so hit me with your area of interest/expertise. I love all the arts. I am a champion of democracy, rights and equity for all. I will post about politics, but also about my dog Baxter, my wife J, and odd happenings in my neighborhood, etc.
Every Tuesday, I post a curated list of new book releases which I believe bear consideration.
@kimlockhartga
Is there a hashtag you use for your Tuesday lists? I'm curious but having trouble finding it. (Sorry...my available minutes to scroll waaaay back are ridiculously limited lately.)
I have two children diagnosed years ago as being on the Spectrum. My partner has suggested I am probably undiagnosed. I feel like it may explain some things.
So some questions:
Does anyone know that there is a hereditary link?
For those who've been tested later in life, I am late 50s, how has it affected you to know? Interested in both confirmed and negative test experiences.
Let's show ZUN our support for releasing his games on Steam and Comiket at the same time.
For years it really did seem impossible to get the series released in the west. We had to wait for a guy to go to the con and upload it, which would then get shared on DoujinStyle and the like. Nowadays Steam releases of Touhou games are more common and it's great to see.
I’m mostly an outsider to the whole Touhou phenomenon apart from enjoying the music but it’s always nice to see games that would otherwise be doujin only available through official channels. And on release, no less! Cool stuff for sure.
The lukewarm reviews don’t make it seem like a great entry on its own so perhaps not the best starting point for someone who’s casually interested but still, I’ll definitely take a better look later.
An Indiana public library is moving 1300 young adult titles to the adult section--making them unavailable to the readers the books were written for, many of whom need those books to survive their lives.
The library is spending over $300,000 just to deny teens the right to read books written for and about them.
Precious few #screenshotsaturday left before release on #steam! This whole #indiegame dev journey has been tough. Would we do it again? Yes! But we'd consider more carefully the next project for sure. We probably went to #narrativegame heavy this time for a first #game. And even #pixelart is hard to keep up with when you need alot of it!

and I have an article in Social Sciences
'Offshoring Refugees: Colonial Echoes of the #UK-Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership' https://mdpi.com/2076-0760/12/8/451
part of the special issue The #Colonial Legacies in #Asylum and Welfare in Europe.
The UK-Rwanda proposals differ from official practices of #deportation as they have developed in liberal democracies since the 1970s.
There are certainly some international parallels, such as Australia’s ‘Pacific Solution’ of ‘offshoring’ asylum, which is often cited as an inspiration. Yet a much clearer precedent involving the forcible movement of people to countries where they have no personal or legal connection existed for many years in the British Empire.
