@[email protected] was dead right in their comment here - you can escape out of the search by tapping Esc twice, at which point you're back to the URL. Panic over!

Great news, thanks! And likewise, I'll give it a chance. Ideally I'd be able to get to the URL from the omnibar with an extra click, to get the best of both worlds.

Yup - most typically to change TLD (e.g. from example.com to my own country, when I'm after local results) or as a quick way of copying the URL without unnecessary extra arguments to share elsewhere.

I've not used LibreWolf, but assuming that Firefox addons are generally compatible, it might be worth trying Chrome Mask. It's made by a Mozilla employee.

I like most of this, but if search term persistence makes it harder for me to tweak the URL (like on mobile), it's going to be really annoying. I'll suspend judgment until I've tried it, I guess.

It's not an insecure app per se, but it is an uncontrolled app, in the context of an organisation's communication. Some of the GOP have tried to imply that it's the product that's at fault, but it's user error all the way.

Funnily enough, Brontornis does now most frequently get placed in Anserimorphae alongside waterfowl, whereas it was previously most often thought to be a terror bird (though I should say there's still plenty of debate). It's thought to be heavier than any terror bird at possibly as much as 400kg - where the average horse apparently weighs 500kg.

Being extinct, I assume no one ever told it how to get to Sesame Street.

Can't believe I'm defending the guy, but it was a (slightly lame) joke he made when addressing soldiers at the base. It works - you can immediately see he establishes rapport.

Funnily enough, "We're we, here fuck, we're shit, queer up" is a much more satisfying chant than "We're here, we're queer, we fuck shit up". The rhyming works better.

First place goes to the chant from the annual mustache parade, though.

Not only is the text lazy, the aspect ratio on the image is fucked up too. I'd be mad if I was the artist they hired.

These are people under an autocracy, living in a literal war zone.

We had an hour-long team stream with brand new content as part of C3 in aid of Make-a-Wish International. Check our the full video in shiny 1440p with captions and chapters. At time of posting, donations are still open! Thanks for those who helped us reach our goal for Make-a-Wish ❤️

 

Join us TOMORROW on a Twitch livestream as we look back at our 2024 progress - we'll stream at 18:00 UTC / 13:00 Eastern / 10:00 Pacific.

Blessings of Almsivi and all the ancestors for 2025 from the Skywind team.

 

The Crabtree effect is where Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces yeasts digest carbohydrates both anaerobically – producing ethanol, an antiseptic – and aerobically. Most yeasts in the presence of both sugar and oxygen prefer to only convert these to carbon dioxide and water, which is considerably more efficient but doesn't deter competitors for that sweet, sweet sugar.

Who knew botflies could be cute?

Thanks for playing along with our April Fool's Day prank. We are, in fact, not pivoting to the Starfield engine.

We are, however, back on the very latest version of the Skyrim engine, thanks to some gruelling work by our Coding team, and of the Creation Kit, thanks in part to the CKPE team 💌

Now back to your regularly scheduled project updates. There's also more of the Concept-to-Asset video series on the horizon, and a bigger progress video is being worked on as we speak. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

 
 

After years of pouring love and dedication to recreating Morrowind in Skyrim's engine, we're reaching for the moon: we're shifting to Starfield's engine.

Say hello to Starwind! 🚀

  • Why walk when you can fly? Rocket boosted guars!
  • That's no moon(s)! Assemble your own interstellar silt strider.
  • The space race, now with 100% more cliff racers

Tamriel's vibrant and variant landscapes have been our home for years, a realm where our passion could roam as free as the nix hounds of Vvardenfell. ⁤⁤But as we looked up at the stars above, we saw the potential for magic far beyond what Skyrim's engine could offer. ⁤⁤Starfield's cutting-edge tech and vast cosmic canvas present us with the opportunity to reimagine Morrowind like never before.

We're grateful for your support, and we look forward to continuing on this journey with you, to the cosmos and beyond.

The Starwind Team ✨
