It's been this way for nearly thirty years. Vote Conservative or vote Slightly-More-Agreeable-Conservative, and with FPTP, your third-party vote may as well have been for Father Christmas for all the difference it will make.

that is a good analysis

How was there a demon of misspelling before standardized spelling?

The cost to move to America is quite steep, though, and there are significant drawbacks.

Yeah, that was news to me, I wasn't sure if it was just my client. I'm not complaining - but I've been half-expecting an automatic ban!

Imagine being proud of wholesale slaughter, so much so that you pose with the mountain of skulls.

"Reclaim" is still the term we use for that, even though just "claim" or "seize" might be more fitting. See also

which some LGBT+ people use in an almost tongue-in-cheek way to refer to themselves and each other, as a way to invert and defang the hostility with which it is used by bigots.

And with some degree of oversight, for the safety and health of the workers and their clients.

Its best to look for an actual photo of the space shuttle before you start considering anything. Posts like these are intentionally misleading

Edit: I misunderstood your question and tone, sorry, but everything below still stands!

They're temporary buildings made of wood, plaster of Paris, and cement, built here as an 1898 World's Fair.

"You are being lied to" heavily implies that the history of Omaha is being glossed over somehow (perhaps with respect to the Civil War? though it was a Union state, and the photo decades later than the war), and that this was the architectural style and decadence of Omaha. You are being lied to, every day, by politicians and advertisers and corporations - but the photo has no relevance to this. These buildings are little more than façades.

 
 

Thanks for playing along with our April Fool's Day prank. We are, in fact, not pivoting to the Starfield engine.

We are, however, back on the very latest version of the Skyrim engine, thanks to some gruelling work by our Coding team, and of the Creation Kit, thanks in part to the CKPE team 💌

Now back to your regularly scheduled project updates. There's also more of the Concept-to-Asset video series on the horizon, and a bigger progress video is being worked on as we speak. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

 
 

After years of pouring love and dedication to recreating Morrowind in Skyrim's engine, we're reaching for the moon: we're shifting to Starfield's engine.

Say hello to Starwind! 🚀

  • Why walk when you can fly? Rocket boosted guars!
  • That's no moon(s)! Assemble your own interstellar silt strider.
  • The space race, now with 100% more cliff racers

Tamriel's vibrant and variant landscapes have been our home for years, a realm where our passion could roam as free as the nix hounds of Vvardenfell. ⁤⁤But as we looked up at the stars above, we saw the potential for magic far beyond what Skyrim's engine could offer. ⁤⁤Starfield's cutting-edge tech and vast cosmic canvas present us with the opportunity to reimagine Morrowind like never before.

We're grateful for your support, and we look forward to continuing on this journey with you, to the cosmos and beyond.

The Starwind Team ✨

This ancient Dwemer freehold straddles the border of the Grazelands and the Ashlands, and served historically as an important neutral ground for diplomatic talks. Its remaining inhabitants are not so eager for polite conversation.

 

CONFESSION TIME: we have an ulterior motive with this new series. It's not very evil, though. We love showing off what we've made, the attention we pay to detail, and our determination to make Skywind really goddamn good, BUT...

WE NEED 3D CLOTHING ARTISTS. It's a major bottleneck for us at the moment, and has been for some time. If you've got experience in modelling 3D clothing and soft materials, or if you know someone else who fits the bill, we'd be really keen to hear from them. Tell everyone you know 💚

On Feb 3rd, we’ll be part of the Community Creation Con supported by Nexus Mods, Bethesda Game Studios, GOG.com, and more, to benefit Make-a-Wish.

We’ll be giving a whistlestop tour of Skywind, what it is (and isn’t), and answering our most frequently-asked questions, live on Twitch.

Join us on February 3rd at 12:30pm! Donate if you can. Watch out for the full schedule on https://twitter.com/C3Modders

 

And a teaser for 2024: we were also busy last year working on a mini video series to showcase specific Skywind items, from the very first concepts and ideas right through to the final in-game asset. More on that very soon!

You can help! If you know a 3D artist who might want to help with future models for Skywind - especially clothing artists - please send them our way. We’d love to hear from them: https://discord.gg/skywind
