  When I installed ECE the faces were 1 on 1, I literally screenshotted the before and after to overlay them in Photoshop to see if they'd match which they did. Only the presets were different, which I don't use anyway. And that's the part I don't get. When I put RaceMenu over a clean install of Skyrim, it did change the faces and the slider numbers no longer matched.   I do not remember if I downloaded a custom ECE file to keep looks vanilla or not, as I did edit the ECE slider file to add my own sliders also. But it kept the Vanilla look and that doesn't explain why RaceMenu kept jumbling it up from the start, even on a clean install.

ECE because RaceMenu just stays broken for me. The moment I use RaceMenu, all the faces are completely different. Either the author prefers his women to look that way, or I set something up wrong and RaceMenu uses the wrong values for sliders, remapping all the faces. They all look like a british housewife with RaceMenu. Wide eyes, short chin, large mouths, I don't know why that happens. Because I'd love RaceMenu for the tattoos and other features. Perhaps someone can help me?

  She's the first character I've seen who gets away with actually looking oriental/asian without looking too uncanny valley. Nice work.

  He's totally Ben Browder. Cool!  

  Mania. Because Sheogorath, Maniac... yea, Mania.  

  I think you've just mended the rift.  

  Plus who doesn't want the +20 Carry Weight bonus that comes with cleavage? I always have to throw items away with Ember!

  Personal opinion: She always had this porcelain beauty about her, warpaint sort of breaks that, like cracks in the glaze. As for the flowers, not a chance, that doesn't work on her I think. It takes away the whole practical-yet-beautiful look and just dolls her up. Do love the screenshots themselves.

Nothing too surprising. If they had any business sense they'd create a facebook knock-off with an in-browser 3D world instead, where your typical facebookesque games are browser-based 3D games your character plays and where the environment IS your UI. They could revolutionize social gaming if they tried that, but they're way too linear a thinker at Linden Lab nowadays also. They got used to milking the cash-cow maybe.

  She's really exotic, I like her. It makes her stand out from many other screenshots.

  You're just ranting now, unsubstantiated without any sort of empirical evidence. Not every developer is talented, that doesn't mean all developers are untalented. If a tripple A company makes bad games, they'll bust and thus they cancel a game before release. There's often a marketing or research division which alone surveys if a game will or will not succeed. But when indies make bad games, they often have the luxury due to low expanses to release their game anyway. If an indie company fails, they just don't make another game and disappear from public view, devs start anew with different people, with a new company name. If an indie company is succesful, they sooner or later find themselves grown into a fully fledged company and people don't count them amongst the successful indies anymore, having outgrown the term indie. A lot of succesful game companies started in a garage or single rented office space with a tight group of friends, before growing into multi-million entertainment businesses.   Steam is a bad example to judge indie games from. Steam is to games what Amazon.com is to books. Go look at how many conspiracy fluff books you can find there. Are they a solid example representing all young, starting and unestablished writers? No.

No, developers have to produce what they know they can finish and release, often a publisher or financier may presure them with deadlines or demanding a change in context. Developers have their hands tied and within that limitation they are creative. You do not understand what a developer does.   The movie Iron Sky wanted to be a serious sci-fi about Nazi's on the moon, with Disney as both financier and publisher stating they do not want to be linked to a serious sci-fi about moon Nazi's. They demanded Johanna Sinisalo would rewrite the movie is a dark comedy to lighten it up. Timo Vuorensola had to agree, or he'd not get the funding and his movie would not release. The games industry behaves simularly sometimes. Only when you have a succesful studio and people'll be certain you'll sell your games on popularity alone, can you make what you want and do what you want, such as with the Rockstar Games studio in NYC.   That's why indie games make the tripple A market feel threatened. The tools to make games become readily more available and indie devs are coming closer and closer to making games of tripple A quality. This means indie devs have greater control over what game they make and publishers and financiers can apply less presure. The era of indie games only looking like a second hand mod for a game is ending fast. Small game studios that are somewhat of a hybrid between indie and professional are evidence of that. But devs make game to have a story to tell, much like movie writers and directors want to tell a story. Steven Spielberg doesn't say "hrmm what makes the most money, aliens, oh lets make E.T. just for the cash" either.

Let's look at it from another angle for the moment. What about the videogame publisher mafia? It's a lesser known fact, but certainly not undocumented that many videogame publishers demand that magazines give a minimal or favourable score to their game. If that magazine refuses, they may no longer receive early-access to game betas, which means they cannot preview a videogame and lose readers.   For decades game publishers have held journalists by the proverbal balls. Some publishers in particular held so many licenses that if they were to blacklist a videogame magazine, that magazine would surely go bankrupt within a year or two. It's not entirely strange that videogame journalists and videogame companies have tensions between them. The only shame is that it's not the developers who are to blaim, but the publishers, while the developers get a lot of flak.

Making a mod manager is a lot of work. It will take time which could have been spent on creating other mods or improving in example the SexLab framework.

I don't notice a lot of this, but then again I don't involve too deeply with gaming communities. I do admit I've mostly kept away from using TeamSpeak and such, worrying of being harassed but this is mostly because the particular games that require TeamSpeak happens to have a certain targetgroup of gamers who in particular are known for harassment (FPS players, MMO players). On the other hand I've had a lot of fun voice acting for fan mods for games, because there's a sore lack of female voice actresses.   The question is when do you need to tell people your gender? On a community where you have a lot of outside contact such as on LL, it's nice to know who we all are. But in a first person shooter, why should I specifically mention "Oh by the way, I'm a girl", is there some rational purpose to rubbing that fact in? Does it get me benefits? No. If people ask, I won't avoid the question but I won't fling around whatever is not need-to-know in such a game. Bragging about being a girl gamer just because you should be able to is stupid, you're only distantiating from others that way. It used to be called attention whoring anyway.   There's no Gamergate. And Zoe Quinn dating a journalist? How many developers regardless of gender hang out with journalists anyway, quite a few probably because they all have something in common, they're all gamers.

  I can see why, she's has quite a masculine personality also. In hindsight I also imagine she could have walked right out of a Games Workshop novel, but that wasn't my intent. The red cross tattoo does work to that effect also I guess. Joan of Arc comes to mind. Before she was Sage, she almost became Joanne.   She's a Vigilant of Stendarr most likely, who will quickly find out that Stendarr isn't with the Vigilants at all considering what heinous crimes they have committed in his name. She'll break away from them and follow what she feels is the path Stendarr as it has been lain out for her.

  With military medical it's probably something you got to follow through. I know from experience that in the civilian medical sector it's often solved when stating to whoever is on the phone that such inept planning is going to cost the doctor's office money. Followed by asking for the person's first and last name. Wonders how quickly they'll all of a sudden apologize and go out of their way to come with a much easier solution then! They must constantly fear being replaced over here when money and boss end up being mentioned in the same sentence.

  How about.. Pan  

It's a thing of today. If a site, be it file hosting or pornography does too well, some rival will hire a group who with proxies and what not put illegal content on your service, until some authority shuts you down.   The only site I really don't like for file uploading is Rapid Gator. They have this system where if you do not type in the captcha within 60 seconds, you get a 1-hour ban. Then if you are slow or only grabbed a cup of coffee while waiting again, you get a 24-hour ban. It's their way to keep you staring at the countdown timer, until you go nuts and get a premium membership.

Granted, but the images will be drawn in invisible ink!   I wish I had something interesting to do right now.

Granted, but not until CK for TES6.   I wish I had the patience and will to make a screenshot story much like I've wanted to do for months.

It's a bunch of kids being random. It's also nothing new. Two decades ago it used to be kids joking about the holocaust while carving swatzikas into park benches during the break. They'd be shown documentary with graphical content and they'd all feel remorseful and realize their mistake.   The exception is that over the internet, they won't be confronted face to face about it. Thus they keep at it until they are mature enough to feel remorse on their own. The other exception is that the internet is public, thus you'll be more likely to bump into things like this. It's not new.   Less melodrama with these posts you start, you aren't writing for The Sun.
