Southern California. Always stuck here.

Is it moist down there? Two more days to deal with the dry up here, then heading back home to Illinois.

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

It was actually oddly cold today for me today.

 

Then again, I don't live in the southern part of the country.

No, it's a complete desert; best way to deal with the heat is to stay indoors and be near drinking water.

It was windy about three hours ago, and there was a heat advisory not too long ago.

 

I miss the wind advisories.

bethesda's decision to use futura as the default font for skyrim was weird. it doesn't really fit with the setting of the game

 

I see it everywhere now too, like fucking shell uses it as the font on their signs displaying gas prices. it was also the font the entire official super mario sunshine strategy guide was printed in. if you look on its wikipedia page there's a ton of other examples of its usage as well

 

I guess it's just one more indication of how rushed skyrim's development was, using a non-custom font

 

that being said, from a simple design standpoint it fits with the more modern UI design, which I actually really like. I liked the contrast between the rustic setting of the game and the sleek look of the hud and menu elements, plus I feel like it could help with roleplaying and immersion since the UI—which is one of the biggest, in-your-face reminders that you're playing a video game—is even more separated from the game environment itself and not trying to awkwardly blend in

 

I'm going through my umpteenth skyrim playthrough so I've been thinking about this recently

Thank you, I'm aware of that

Or you could mod the font away.

Or just don't play Skyrim anymore and let it die off finally. :^)

Well, maybe people like to play Skyrim.

[Zyrael 1,471]

I like skyrim too. Love it actually. But I mean, maybe you need to see other games...

I've been playing Mirrors Edge Catalyst a bit.

And Uncharted 4.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Nah, that's silly. Don't be silly, Punic.

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

So I murdered my computer again and had to reinstall everything. Well, that took up half the night and I'm, maybe, 2/3ths done.

I don't know if murder would be the correct word for that.

But you rolled under 15, so it failed.
