The Total Overhaul mod list is the closest thing we have to a Morrowind remaster right now, and it's surprisingly enjoyable as a starting point.
-
I went ahead and installed the Total Overhaul mod list from here: https://modding-openmw.com/guides/auto/. It automatically configures the installation for you -- just follow the instructions. You could pay for a month of Nexus Mods premium for much faster and automatic downloads. This is what the mod list looks like:

You're going down strange and dysfunctional paths.

I gave it a quick test, and you're right, it is... tough, at least on certain aspects. Mods are pretty much a prerequisite imo; I ended up installing a hundred or so. Despite my first impression, I'll get back to the game soon. Imagine how your current favorite game would be received 25 years from now. Nostalgia plays an important role, too.

Useful reminder, thank you.

Happy birthday!

Yes, although I'd specify: Thinking itself is a limited activity. What does thinking about infinity look like? It is a notion of "lots and lots going on forever," as when thinking about space. -

Nice picture. But it is a picture. -

You can't think "infinite." -

Materialism is essentially believing in magic -- not in a good sense. -
Skywind is a mod that is re-creating Morrowind, although it isn't out yet.
-
That's fair. I'll give them both a try. Not even Skyrim?
-
I will at some point. Got into Skyrim for the first time about six months ago and ended up liking it. What do you mean? Story-wise? That's from 2002, Jesus. What makes it better than Oblivion in your view? I haven't played either, but hey, this is a remaster, with better graphics, etc.

I wanted to start a shared contemplation with you: What is experience?

Gaming awakening.

I've been informed there will be no more videos this year, as Leo is going to finally get into Oblivion.

What, in your encounter with an object such as "a tree", is experience -- and what is not? -
UnbornTao replied to UnbornTao's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Nice, let's keep looking into it. What is the act of experiencing? What is "experiencing" something, as opposed to thinking about it, feeling it, or having opinions about it? What's the difference, say, between experiencing the act of thinking vs having a thought as usual? -
UnbornTao replied to integral's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
It seems as though thought and feeling are both forms of concept. What we usually take a “concept” to be is just an inconsequential thought that arises in our internal dialogue, an add-on that is independent to what objectively exists. For example, we may look at a tree and think of it as tall and beautiful. We might take those latter qualities to be conceptual, but not “the tree” itself. At the same time, we might object to this claim, since thought often appears “dry,” whereas feeling is more “charged.” Good questions, you tell me. -
Could be. Also, it is like: "Oh, I'm actually doing this. It is not some circumstance being thrust upon me." And as a result, being able not to do it. You likely weren't thinking of a dolphin prior to reading this sentence; and now you likely do. It is something like that, just on a deeper domain of feeling, perhaps.

No, can't. If it's still experienced, or to the degree that it is, then that's a sign the activity is not being grasped as it is happening. We could say we do "understand" it intellectually although that doesn't make a difference in our lived experience.
-
Can you recognize in your experience "where" you're doing the stress, and so become responsible for its creation? Cause I can't. Doing that would allow you not to do it in the first place, or help reduce it to a great extent. In your specific case, focusing on a single subject for a time is necessary; otherwise you just get distracted and overwhelmed, jumping from one thing to another, without any real depth.
