Look, I'd love a Morrowind remaster, too. But it won't happen. It can't. Bethesda know that they can't improve on Him.

A video of the famous Myth II "Uninstall bug", where if one installed the game in a drive's root for some reason, the uninstall would take *everything else* on the drive with it:

Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language (bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/post/3ln7hx5rhcj2v)

She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded (web.archive.org/web/20051223202935/http://www.piracyisacrime.com:80/press/pdfs/150605_8PP_brochure.pdf).

So I chucked it into FontForge and yep, turns out the campaign used a pirated font the entire time!

(I have the strong impression that the graveyard in Crystalgard is actually a battleground from the end of the Second Shadow, and that Luscent Bottleblower used the Great Scythe to Unmake Chaos - only to find out that when it comes to Chaos, nature abhors a vacuum and Davy Jones rules apply.)

If Bobbin had been a little more perceptive.
