I grew up in Texas and was taught that shit like that wasn't even remotely acceptable well before 2007.

  • Yellow Submarine (I think a lot of people either forget this movie exists, or write it off as a kids movie. You're missing out on a movie that could be considered as revolutionary to animation as the Beatles were to music.)
  • Back to the Future
  • The Muppet Movie
  • School of Rock
  • Bladerunner
  • The Matrix

There's probably other's, but that's what immediately comes to mind.

That's almost literally how it went down, except the Argonians weren't tripping, the Hist trees are literally psychic and recalled all the Hist-born Argonians to the Black Marsh. They somehow knew the Oblivion Crisis was about to occur, and recalled every single Hist-born Argonian in Tamriel so that they'd be waiting at the gates the moment they appeared.

The Hist trees are also speculated to be the oldest living beings on Tamriel, if not Nirn entirely.

The Hist trees recognize Sithis as the OG creator. (If I understand correctly) To put it another way, while other races worship Aedra and/or Daedra, the Hist trees basically worship the void itself.

The Hist-born Argonians are able to use a wholly unique form of magic called Hist-magic which operates under its own, separate rules. This scares the elves.

Yup. Eggs>livebirth. They're also easier to expel because the shell helps it to slide through. Once you get it about 2/3rds of the way out, simply relaxing causes the rest to come out on its own. Still painful, but at least goes part of the way itself. Plus you don't have to deal with a squirming, screaming creature wanting to gorge itself on your nutrient sacks while you're trying to recover.

Shock eggs are horrifying though. Yanno, when you thought your boyfriend pulled out and then you accidently commit infanticide.

Edit: don't ask what happens if the shell breaks while it's still inside. You don't wanna know. Be thankful you're approaching this evolutionary step voluntarily and not due to natural evolution. Evolution sometimes decides that those kinds of questions aren't worth bothering with. You're lucky though. When the time comes, you'll get to choose how you want your eggs done.

I'm surprised, I actually read this correctly the first try. Meth heads are actually easier to understand than religious whackjobs.

The door also acts as a way of adding emphasis to certain parts of the statement.

No more meth at this location

That means there's meth elsewhere, but there may still be other drugs here because it's only meth that isn't at this location.

Born too late to discover ancient ruins.

Born too early to discover urban ruins.

Born just in time to watch the world die.

Imagine being an early explorer and being one of the first people to see it since the fall of the Egypt. I don't know how close they were to populated settlements, but just... imagine finding a structure no one has seen in hundreds, possibly thousands of years. It'd make the imagination go wild.

Sadly, afaik, there are no official images of it. As Skua noted, it's not exactly canon, but to my knowledge there isn't actually anything that contradicts it. As such, I think most lore nerds take it as fact. Also because, as Skua said, it's way more interesting for the Khajiit to have had a space program where they stood on each other's shoulders than not.

Also, Bethesda has severely neglected the Argonians and Khajiit, so people take whatever Argonian or Khajiit lore they can get. I think they're "too furry" for Bethesda or something.

Admittedly, a Black Marsh TES would be difficult to do without it being an Argonian-only spin-off because, iirc, Argonians violently eject anyone trying to enter the marsh.

Meanwhile, a game set in Elsweyr would require a lot of effort due to all the different skeletons and character models they'd have to create. They'd probably double or triple the number of character models simply due to all the different forms of Khajiit (there are 17 forms, ranging from having the appearance of a basic house cat to being almost identical to Mer (elves) or Men (Redguard, imperial, etc)), with significantly more work if they tried to make them all playable with full armor sets.

Damn, and I thought I knew my TES lore.

Dude, you gotta check out elder scrolls lore, it's fucking wild. The world runs on clockwork, vivec gave molag bal sloppy toppy while his toppy was sloppy (he was headless), the lizards lick trees to become argonians which are wifi-enabled (the Hist trees can remotely control argonians, which meant shit got real during the Oblivion Crisis and Mehrunes Dagon, a fucking daedric prince pissed himself in fear when he tried to invade the Black Marsh), there are like, 72 1/2 forms of khajiit, it's heavily suggested that the elder scrolls is a post-apocalyptic fantasy game...

Also, every race in the elder scrolls has had a space program. The khajiit space program was literally just them standing on each other's shoulders to reach space.

Oh yeah. And the dragon breaks. When time and space just kinda fuck up and every possible outcome happens at the same time before settling onto a single thread (in-universe explanation for why there's one canon ending to each game despite players being able to get other endings; each game takes place during a dragon break).

I miss TrueSTL

Sounds like you gotta brush up on your elder scrolls lore my dude. You completely missed the joke that TES was always "woke".

Right, but why's there a guy standing on top of the mosque?
