Day 206 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

I must say I e never played Skyrim, and I didn't know how beautiful it could be. I might have to have a closer look.
I play a game called "The Long Dark", and the first screenshot with the aurora made me do a double take. In that game you are alone in a northern Canadian region that has been abandoned both due to economics as well as some in game magic that makes electricity not work. The survival mode is just "live as long as you can, then die."
It's permadeath and can be incredibly frustrating and cruel, but the beauty in that game is unreal. I've ended a 6 day run (nothing to me now, but a big acheivement at the time) because I was watching the Aurora on a clear winter night. The music was somber and I thought I might freeze to death as I crossed this long rope bridge. I should have been looking at the bridge, because staring up into the sky I suddenly was getting further away from it .... It was maybe a 3 second fall as I realized I either walked off the bridge or maybe there was a gap or something."You have faded into the long dark." -wasn't even mad.

With mods. It's not hard to mod on pc, mind you, but the vanilla experience is definitely less.
-
I have seen dragons. Perhaps you will see a dragon. I won't say where I saw one. Perhaps I did not.

PLEASEEE MAKE IT TO 365 DAYS!!

Modern texture packs, replacement models, and lighting mods make it even more so.
On top of that, Skyrim's soundtrack is outstanding, and conspires with the scenery to make it a game world not easily forgotten. I'm sure I'll be going back.

I'm playing two different saves in Skyrim right now, and I still thought it was The Long Dark when I saw the thumbnail. Seriously underappreciated title!

What did you use? I usually use Syncthing to get my files onto/from the Deck. I also use it to sync my mods, that way I have the same experience whether I turn on the PC or the Deck.
-
I had Syncthing setup on my deck from when i first got it, but Syncthing was having issues for me and my Network is slow as fuck (50 mbps). So instead i opted to use a 64 GB USB Drive that has that swivel thing that goes from USB-C to USB 3 and transfer it via that. I compressed everything before hand into a zip file just to make it faster and quicker

Truly an honor to have M'aiq the Liar himself here

I think the best part is that my only Vanilla playthrough i recall fully completing, was on the switch, with the Link Gear, and me turning the game into a fever dream of a Zelda game
