Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job.

I think what makes Ash Williams such an enduring character is that he's absolutely a coward. Any day of the week. No question. Zero argument.

He would very much rather be at home, drinking beer, maybe getting some action at the local watering hole. Safe and comfy and more than a little drunk. Totally normal small-town asshole.

But instead, he's in the middle of one demonic incursion into mundane reality after another. He is terrified. He is in agony. He is running from one trauma to one grievous injury to one indignity to the next.

So at the end of the day, when he finally has no more steam in him to run, when he's finally sufficiently fed up of hearing dead things cackle at him... he's a hero. He does what needs to be done, whether anyone else likes it or not, with zero expectation of praise or reward, save to finally go to bed.

And that's what makes him so appealing: He's basically every last one of us. He's what becomes of the every-man at his last tether, whether it's deadites possessing his own hand or working retail on Black Friday.

Whilst none of us wants to be in this hellscape scenario, we undeniably are, and we're out of other options, so we're just going to have to nut up and push our way through it.

Groovy.

thought i'd share some morrowind mods i'm using. my aim's for a largely vanilla-game feel with some goofy fun here and there

general

morrowind graphics extender xe: add-on to the morrowind engine that improves the game's graphics and makes many of the below mods tick

morrowind code patch: fixes many bugs in the vanilla game including—and this one's made the game so much more fun—the sneak toggle not working correctly

oaab data, tamriel data, and the crafting framework: asset libraries that contain resources used by some of the below mods

been there, done that: shows you which dungeons you've cleared in tooltips and the map menu

player character customization

more heads: many additional face + hair customization options for all playable characters

vanilla-flavoured hair: retextures for the base game's hair models

racer dust arms and armor: new armor!

concept art dunmer helmets: new helms!

olaf's best cloaks in town: new cloaks!

weapon sheathing: displays your character's equipped weapon on their hip or back when the weapon is sheathed (as in tes iv and v)

fun stuff

pet the damn scrib
