Chris Sprouse’s Midnigher model sheet.
Trenchcoat appreciation.
This was my favorite look for him.

“After I found out what the nords did to the snow elves, I stopped attacking the thalmor. What goes around comes around.”
The thing is, the Nords attacked the snow elves because they “Sacked” Saarthal. If the Nords went unprovoked, the two races could have shared the land peacefully, and the snow elves would still be around.
You really think genocide is an appropriate response for sacking one city? A city founded in the Snow Elves native lands, no less. The Snow Elves were already present in Skyrim when the Nords came and started settling in their land. So maybe the Nords shouldn’t have provoked the Snow Elves by settling in their territory in the first place. :p
But why would the Snow Elves need to destroy the city? How is moving to a new land Provoking them? Granted, the modern day Nords are kind of acting territorial as well, but that’s because the Thalmor are outlawing the worship of a god and destroying their ancient culture. As far as we know, the Nords did nothing else other than settle in Skyrim. We don’t know if they did something to ruin the Snow Elf culture. So we appear to be at a stalemate. Now I’m off to read up on the Night of Tears.
What countries do you know of that have ever been ok with just anyone settling inside their territory without so much as asking? There are immigration laws and regulations for a reason. Not wanting foreigners to settle in the lands they’ve called home for generations is not unreasonable, particularly for this setting, and the Nords should have respected that. And while the Snow Elves are not blameless, it’s very much a shades of gray situation, having a city sacked doesn’t mean you get to attempt to wipe an entire people from the face of the planet in response. Even after the elves were beaten and in retreat, the Nords still kept after them, intent on wiping them out, forcing the elves into a very unsavory deal with the Dwemer, who finished the job. (well, with a couple exceptions who managed to escape)

???
There are no icons at all in Skyrim.
I was also confused by this one. Maybe they’re using a modded interface and they’ve had it for so long they forgot it was a mod?
Yeah, sounds like they’re using Sky UI, it adds color coded potion icons (and other icons, for armor, books, etc.). Which is very nice, and yeah it kinda sucks made potions (unless they are single effect, I think) don’t get the colors, but I am not really sure how you’d implement it either, since you can have potions with several wildly different effects all in one if you make them yourself.

Badass Scientist of the Week: Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace, born Augusta Ada Byron (1815–1852), was a mathematician who is widely considered the founder of scientific computing. She was the daughter of Romantic poet Lord Byron and mathematician Anne Milbanke, whose brief marriage ended just a month after Ada was born—she never knew her father. Ada was raised by her mother, who encouraged her interest in mathematics and science, partly to prevent her from becoming a delinquent poet like her father. When she was seventeen, Ada met Charles Babbage, professor of mathematics at Cambridge and inventor of the Difference Engine, the first calculating machine. They began correspondences about mathematics, logic, and all manner of subjects. Two years later, Ada married William King and had three children, and became a Countess of Loveless when William inherited a noble title. In 1834, Babbage made plans for a new kind of calculating machine called an Analytical Engine, and in 1842, Italian mathematician Louis Menabrea published an article on the machine in French. Babbage enlisted Ada to translate it, a task she threw herself into with fervour—she translated the article over a nine-month period in 1842–43, adding extensive, enlightened notes of her own, which are the source of her enduring fame. Her notes show she understood the device’s potential better than Babbage, as they contained incredible visionary statements—she predicted, for example, that the Engine might act upon things other than numbers, such as composing elaborate scientific pieces of music. The idea that a machine could manipulate symbols according to laws, and that numbers could be used to represent things other than just quantities, marks the transition from calculation to computation. Ada took this mental leap, and she has been referred to as the ‘prophet of the computer age’ and an ‘Enchantress of Numbers’. She died young, cancer taking her at just 37, but her achievements as a mathematician and a woman live on in her legacy. In 1980, in honour of her contributions to computer science, the U.S. Department of Defence named its computer language ‘Ada.’

IC 1396: The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula
An ionized gas region located in the constellation Cepheus about 2,400 light years away from Earth; it is commonly called the Elephant’s Trunk nebula because of its appearance at visible light wavelengths, where there is a dark patch with a bright, sinuous rim. [image via]

Britain’s ‘Atheist Church’ Set to Go Global
Echoing with joyful song and with a congregation bent on leading better lives, this London church is like any other — except there’s no mention of God.
I’ve often pondered this. As a kid, I went to church. I hated the “worship” part, but really enjoyed the socializing. As an atheist adult, I’ve wondered about the appeal of an “atheist church” — it sounds more like a social club for non-believers and, possibly, a pretty good idea. Thoughts? ~Ian
The idea of a weekly social club isn’t anything i have a problem with, but I’d have a bit of a problem with it being called a ‘church’. Many believers like to claim atheism is a religion, when it’s not, and the use of the word church would just confuse things further…
