The 2025 Morrowind Winter Modjam - A 48-hour Modding Competition and Extravaganza - Begins February 7th-9th!

The Morrowind Modjams are semi-annual modding competitions, typically held in the Winter and Summer each year, where modders have 48 hours to come up with, design, and release a mod fitting a randomly chosen theme.

This year's Winter Modjam begins Friday, February 7th at 11pm UTC with a kickoff livestream (hosted by Danae) to reveal the competition themes, and ends Sunday, February 9th at 11:59pm UTC.

Winners will be announced February 23rd, with prizes including game keys, Nexus DP, and of course the glamour and glory of finishing in one of the community's most challenging events!

Day 598

As a ballroom girlie I am legally required to draw Pearl ballroom dancing as per her latest Hermitcraft episode of building a ballroom. So I asked Mod Cosmic to pick a hermit for her to dance with and she also helped design Pearl's dress and pushed me to go FULL fantasy with their dresses which I'm SO happy she did

I know Gem is usually more affiliated with like nature and plants and stuff but I really wanted to put waves on her dress, and also the duality of the sky and the sea is very very good and I am a big fan of it aha

(By the way they're dancing viennese waltz and Pearl is leading)

(still on indefinite hiatus ^^;;;)

your au fanfic has less than ~500 kudos

you have some form of content for it posted

DON'T START DRAMA (please i beg of you.)

(that's it)

inspired by @tmntaucompetition (and others that i can't remember oops...)

[tomfrogisblue]

one of the true highlights of the qsmp was introducing non-french speakers to how fucking awesome and hilarious etoiles is

[allmightyscroll-swag]

Ive seen other people do tmnt au posts even though they're not competing, so....

OH NO!!! IT APPEARS KRAANG!LEO IS LOST WITHIN THE @tmntaucompetition !!!

ft. @overthinkingspark-blue 's bettle Leo & @tizeline 's sep!Donnie. Don't look too closely at them I made this panel in 15 minutes in the notes app <3

Someone please direct him to the nearest chair/empty corner; he's about to pass out, throw up, or both. He probably needs some water, too, if anyone has it.

This is a spiritual successor to this joke post I made recently

This is also actually a version of him way later than he is currently in the comic, but I thought it'd be more fun this way <3 it seems that the eyes aren't the only thing wrong with him now.....

Meanwhile, in the lost & found corner .....

[siryyeet]

My favourite thing about smants videos is that he always talks about himself like he's just some guy that is placed into this totally unfair competition against all these masterminds and then you watch him be the mastermind everyone else should be afraid of

Twenty-two years ago, on May 1st, Morrowind was released to an eager gaming and modding public, and what was at first a strange and alien land has become a home, a place we long to return to, a world we visit again and again, and though decades pass, we always come back.

But Morrowind isn't a static world, for modders have been building upon it, expanding it, improving it, reimagining it for 22 years, adding new adventures, new experiences, new lands to explore, new mechanics and new graphics, and so much more! After 22 years, not only does Morrowind still have an active modding community, but the Morrowind modding community has grown and expanded, and is now more active than ever, releasing over a thousand new mods every year!

And on this special anniversary, what better way is there to celebrate Morrowind's 22nd birthday than to continue to build upon it? As such, once again this year, we're hosting the 2024 Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition, the tenth annual Modathon for the Morrowind Modding Community!

For the last 10 years, the Morrowind Modathons have served as an annual celebration for both Morrowind's anniversary and the modding community's creativity, celebrated every May 1st and lasting throughout the entire month of May! And this year, we're excited to announce, once again, that the Morrowind May Modathon Month is back for 2024, celebrating 22 years of Morrowind!

From May 1st through to June 2nd, modders can submit mods, earn achievement badges, and win prizes by using the May Modathon 2024 tag and the Morrowind Modathon 2024 header in their mod description on the Nexus! We have an exciting array of 94 achievement badges for modders to unlock with their mods, with achievements for competing in weekly themed challenges, category achievements, metric achievements, bronze, silver and gold achievements, and 27 hidden achievements - how many can you find? For a full list, check out our announcement thread over on the Nexus forums!

Over the last 10 years, 1300+ mods have been released for the annual Morrowind Modathon Month modding competitions, and with your help, we can add even more to that impressive tally, making this amazing game bigger and better than ever!

There is no better way to celebrate Morrowind's anniversary than building and releasing mods, and whether you're a modding veteran or a newbie just starting out with using the Construction Set, I hope you'll join us for the 2024 Morrowind May Modathon!

Participation is simple, any Morrowind mod released in May can be entered into the competition, just remember to include a tagline "Part of the May Modathon Month" (or the Morrowind Modathon 2024 header) near the top of your mod's description, or use the Modathon 2024 tag to enter your mod as part of the competition. You'll be automatically entered to potentially win one of our weekly random-drawing prizes, and of course, unlock achievements!

For more information, including rules, links to tutorials for first-time modders, and a complete list of achievements, check out our official announcement thread here on the Nexus forums or stop by our Discord channel!

As I always say, the best games never die! Happy modding and long live the Morrowind Modding Community!”

what is your thesis about?

runs around happily! This is my simplified version of what my argument is about

TLDR: that Angel under god in the creation of Adam? Yeah that’s St. Michael

can you tell the time without a watch? and do you have your own internal compass? and do you wake up n' sleep with the sun? and does daylight savings mess you up? and are you weak during eclipses? and are you stronger during summer solstice? are you a portable furnace? do you burst into flames when you're burnt out? do you hate the winter? are you bothered by these questions? should i stop? do you like mitski?

[Will blinks as the questions are thrown at him one after another before holding up his hands] im not bothered, just hold on or im going to forget them.

[Will starts counting on his fingers as he answers the questions] for the time thing, it depends? Like if im outside and the suns out kind of but only like to the hour or half hour its not that accurate.

[He shakes his head as he counts up again] and no i just use common sense. Sun rises in the east and sets in the west but its more north during summer and more south in winter. [Will seems genuinely unaware that this perhaps is not common sense]

Oh, this one is actually used to [will says, glad he can give a positive answer for once] my circadium rhythm is crazy strong so I have all these lamps in the infirmary for late nights. I can still sleep during the day if I have to technically but it feels like literally anyone breathing will wake me up so its not really worth it.

[That joy of a positive answer quickly fades though] yeah, no i hate daylight savings. They're not saving anything, just confusing people and making me late for things when I do sleep.

[Will pauses then, trying to remember before shaking his head] yeah, no, sorry I really dont pay attention to that, I have no clue

And im stronger in the summer [will lowers his hand as he loses count, going a bit more rapid fire] but the summer solstice doesnt specifically make me like super powerful or anything.

I am actually super warm, its pretty nice. Ive been told apparently I give good hugs because of it.

Flames seems a bit dramatic. Burnt out mentally wont do anything weird. Magically though I just tend to get really feverish and hot. Which im a lot more resilient to so it can get... pretty high. Furnace high. But I dont think ive ever reach flame high before passing out first.

I mean i dont hate it. I like the snow, which we dont really get in camp but whatever. Its just the seasonal depression and all. I dont think that has anything to do with... actually it might be an apollo kid thing now that I think about it.

I dont hate them. Im just confused if youre about to send an assassin after me or something. So you can keep going or stop either way.

I mean yeah she has nice music, its not really my favorite though
