Wow, that's really really bad.

Lol, I never seem to do unarmed combat. What makes it fun? Usually I am two-handed melee combatant, but when something like Conjuration is available, I do that too. Summon something to bloody up my enemy, then rush in and finish it off. I'm such a coward, lol. I picked perks all over the map the first time I played Skyrim (I didn't know what I was doing), and my skill trees were useless as a result. I noticed I was mainly using Conjuration and Two-Handed, so the next time through, I saved most of my perks for those as well as Smithing. Specializing in games usually makes you far more effective in combat than being all over the map! So look at it as one of the plus sides of being a poor multi-tasker. Incidentally, studies show that multitasking is an inefficient way to work for just about everyone owing to issues with task-switching. Folks like us just are more aware of its downsides than those who “excel” at it =D

I suspect he thinks of the Dragonborn more as being his pet rather than vice versa. Now, the one I wish I could order around is Barbas. But he's not a "real" follower, so there's no way to tell him to stay. He's great as a tank, but he drives me insane knocking shit over in my house. I've never played The Sims! @Alyxx @SpaceExplorer @kingpotato Any favorite video game pets?

I finished BIoshock 1 recently and just played some Skyrim. Now I'm going to rotate back to playing more RDR.

What did it do?

@The Blackangel Awesome advice, thanks! I use that canned air stuff and just wipe down the outside of the console. To clean my LCD screen, I just use a dry cloth most of the time. I use glasses cloths on discs too.

I've never played Borderlands, though it's been recommended to me a few times. The art style always intrigues me.

I usually buy disposable batteries. It seems like they last a lot longer without needing to be charged, and I don't have a lot of free outlets in the house. I literally have ... two wall outlets in my entire home, and a bunch of power strips.

It’s my name and I’m terribly uncreative.

I also usually work up two or three skill trees for the same reason. I'm often surprised by how many people don't do this.

Let’s not forget about dealing with humans. It’s best to keep real life information to yourself, not just about your identity, but about other aspects of your life as well (until at least you get to know and trust someone really well).

It took me like four hours to download and install The Last of Us. I think that's been the longest to date. I don't know what my Wifi speed is.

@UleTheVee Absolutely! Whether it's a single player video game like Skyrim, a tabletop game, a MUD, or even a LARP, I love RPGs.

Believe it or not, I have never played Minecraft. What made it become boring to you after a few months?

@The Blackangel @killamch89 Rofl. Never played it. Now that's a bizarre enemy.

Sadly, I can relate. Even using a mouse is a problem for me, but thankfully a gamepad seems more ergonomic.

I don't see how that makes you "bad" at the game--you just prefer a different strategy. I could say the same about my preference for light armor. After all, heavy armor makes me slow, and my reflexes are already slow, so combined ... well, I die a lot. Thus I pick the light armor. @LadyDay Curious about your response to this thread! Which class do you usually prefer?

Thank you! The same is true of you as well!

@kingpotato That’s true. That’s a good example, another one being Berenziah (spelling?). I like that if you read the books, they shed light on events which otherwise you might totally misinterpret. My mind was blown by the one which talked about how Ulfric made a mess of the Reach. That book arguably contributed more to my understanding of both him and the situation with the Forsworn than anything anyone said to me in the game.

True. He fries a lot of chickens.

MMOs do seem to attract a lot of people on a power trip (speaking from experience, since I am sad to say I was one of them). Thus the abusive behaviors, I suppose. You can get away with a lot sitting behind a screen.

I should offer a reward to whomever can find the cave in question for me, lol. Like, seriously. I wonder if points are transferrable between accounts ...

In games which give you access to a ton of different abilities for combat, do you use a wide variety, or do you just stick with a few favourites? I’ve noticed that in pretty much every game I play, I just find several abilities I like and use them over and over. I end up ignoring the vast majority of other combat options.

Do you think Google Stadia and similar services are likely to succeed or fail? Why?

Good guess, but that's not it. I don't have Dawnguard installed (why haven't I gotten that yet? lol). I checked out Shadowgreen Cavern near Solitude the other day, which was also similar, but still not the one.
