I tried that in Morrowind years ago. I'm not sure if it was the same mod, or some version of the game with lots of graphics settings, but yeah.

I loved Morrowind so much. I played it so much that I took over a house and turned it into a museum for all my hoarded items and ridiculously valuable concoctions and trinkets.

Having unlimited view distance and seeing how freaking small the world really was completely blew my mind.

Along with the fog, the walking speed must have been even slower than I remember!

    This is literally what qualifies as "shoving it down our throats" when conservatives say that LGBT+ folks can live how they want but not shove it down everybody's throats. That's my personal experience with conservative relatives and locals, at least.

    Being reminded that certain "other" people exist without being hunted down is all it takes to set them off.

    So while the lawsuit is a stupid waste of resources, the basic dickhead at the center of it is probably genuinely motivated to pursue it.

    It's that way with Webb since it focuses on infrared, but I thought hubble used the visible spectrum.

    After a brief search, it looks like Hubble uses the entire optical spectrum which includes some IR and UV along with visible. It depends on the specific image, but the deep field stuff looks like it was a combination of visible and IR, which makes sense considering red shift. But the bluer objects were captured in the visible.

    So they inevitably had to compress the spectrum for the photos, but speaking as somebody who has taken tens of thousands of photos in RAW format, all the colors in every photo are translated data. :) (that also goes for the screen displaying the final image using a mix of three wavelengths rather than the actual colors of the original light)

    And yet, if you paint the steamroller a gaudy fake gold color and have it being driven by every conservative you've heard about in the last year, it gets way more true!

    I'm an old straight white guy with a pretty normie-looking family, and I know damn well that almost every LGBT+ person out there shares more of my values and gives more of a shit about my marriage than the conservative grifters out there.

    This could be a completely serious Orphan Crushing Machine solution in the minds of conservative basic dickheads.
