Serious Question: What is the business model for Opera GX? It's free, they buy adds for it, have a cool features... so they must gain money from SOMEWHERE
Fun fact about the Jump spell thing: If your health and/or Acrobatics is high enough to survive the fall damage from a 100 point Jump spell, then just taking the fall damage helps raise your Acrobatics even further, because apparently breaking your legs helps you jump better.
You just build up a leg break immunity over time, thus strengthening your legs to be more unbreakable and infinitely flexible with all those fun new angles they can go at.
inb4 what does not kill you makes you stronger. YOU HAVE GLASS KNEES THAT SHATTER JUMPING 3 FEET I HAVE KNEES OF TITANIUM AND CARBON FIBRE MUSCLES. Jump a 100 foot ledge bounce back up 120 feet, repeat! No duh you'll raise acrobatics this is Tod-Imeanmorrowind logic bro,
"You can't work without background noise?" *Looks to camera* Dude, you can NOT call your viewers out like that! I'm literally working right now! Also, get that sponsorship money!!
Just wanted to say I have alopecia and recently lost all my hair and watching your videos has been a huge help in me getting used to being completely smooth. I was pretty shocked in the last video to see you have alopecia too and it reassured me because your content and personality are brilliant, I’ve been struggling with some self worth problems but you’ve shown me that embracing it and being who you are is more important than worrying about what people think. You’re a must watch every time a new video comes out thank you for giving me confidence :)
Hey, just wanted to let you know to check out "Fire Department Chronicles" for another content creator who is bald (I don't know if it's specifically because of alopecia) with a big heart and personality that you might enjoy. He does a bunch of skits of things he's seen as a paramedic and is the actor for every character in the skits. I genuinely hope seeing these people who make content shows you that you're still you and still worth being around. Hair doesn't make the human
If you're having self doubts because of being bald, trust me, most people don't care about it. I've myself shaved the hairs on my head a couple of times, i know some of the experience, but nobody really cares. Infact, some of my best friends in life were made exactly when i shaved my head hear (it can be coincidence). It can be unrelated, but there's a youtuber Radal, who also keeps himself bald because he had some hair issues. He also explains it in his video so you can give it a try.
Sunder is more guarded because its the tool that draws the power from the heart. Keening flays and directs the the power from the heart after Sunder struck it. So Keening seems to be useless without the Sunder and by itself does nothing to the heart. But when Sunder draws the power and Keening hits the heart multiple times instead of once, the energy drawn becomes unstable enough to break original binding enchantments from the tools.
You're on a right track with "Weakness to element" in your damaging spells, but if you also add "Weakness to Magicka" as the first effect (by itself it would do nothing, but it magnifies the elemental weakness effect), it will increase the overall damage by about 50% if not more, because now your magnified elemental weakness will boost the damage effect by a magnitude. Very useful to have for pocket nukes.
And put that 100% magicka resistance on self for 1 sec as first effect to counter any reflect effect. And (if you are not playing as nord-ice mage or aragonian/redguard poison mage or dunmer fire mage) slap resistance to used element 100% for 1 sec on self - it costs nothing in final magicka cost of spell, but golden saint or daedra will never be a problem with reflect ever again.
that also made me wonder if the High Elves' innate 50% Weakness to Magic also amplifies their other passive weakness to elemental magics minus Poison? what I know is that I've tried a High Elf character with The Lover Birthsign, using the Lover's Kiss power amplifies the 200 pts Damage Fatigue to Self into 300 pts instead
A fun spell for dealing with Cliff Racers, its called Saint Jiub's Prayer. 1pt of Levitate on target for 1 second in 10ft. When you hit a Cliff Racer with it they drop from the sky and get killed by the fall damage. Its fun to use powerful levitate magic to fly around and aggro a bunch of them, drag em up high, and hit em with it.
This was the first game I pulled an accidental all nighter on. I remember hearing bird sounds and going, "Man, the birds sounds so realistic." Then I realized it was real birds outside and noticed how bright it was getting and paniced when I saw it was 4am and I had to work at 7. It was a rough day, but I worked at Best Buy and everyone laughed and understood.
Nerevar, I understand that now you are an Argonian that poison is a more viable path of study for you, but does it truly honor the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned for you to neglect all other marshal skills in favor of the art of poison craft? Do you really think we can drive the Mongrel Dogs of the Empire from Morrowind with nothing but frost spider venom and whatever you have brewing in that cauldron? That is another thing Nerevar, you've essentially turned Dagoth Ur, the building, into what looks like the largest skooma cooking lab in the realms with this poison obsession of yours. I'm drawing the line here Nerevar, you can kept up your little poison experiments if you like but you must move all your equipment to another building, I'm sure there's some abandoned Dunmer stronghold you can teleport it all to. What do you mean this is anti-Argonian discrimination?
@@jacksonduruy4303 Your reply does not honor The Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned. I shall teach you. When addressing Dagoth Ur (The God), you must show respect by saying (The God) after his name. He's a God. how dare you not address a God properly. What a grand and intoxicating Innocence.
"how do they measure the pain of venom" wasnt there that one professor/biologist who let hemself be bitten by animals and made a scale based on how painful it was?
Yup. The Schmidt sting pain index. Kind of wild to think about, that most of our knowledge about extent of pain comes from one absolutely bonkers dude willingly getting himself stung and bitten.
There's also Coyote Peterson (Brave Wilderness) here on TH-cam who gets stung and bit by a bunch of different animals. He was accidentally bitten by a Gila Monster and said it was the most painful vertebrate bite he'd ever felt.
as above, there are at least two people that have done this. unfortunately for them though, the indexes they made aren’t able to be used clinically a problem appears when you realize pain is subjective, not everyone experiences pain the same way nor does everyone have the same tolerance to pain, that and also they obviously can’t test lethal poisons or venoms
Justin o. Schmidt made an index for the pain of hymenopterans sting, he also made a really good book on the subject named “Sting of The Wild”, I recommend reading it!
There is an over powered poison damage based item given during Telvanni questline, called "Ring of Toxic Cloud". It deals 2-60 pts poison damage in 20ft for 10 secs, that would made this run much easier. Anyway, love your work
It's incredibly funny to suggest an Argonian character who uses only poison attacks to quell a poison-immune Argonian slave rebellion by killing them to the last man. Since that's how you get that reward from the quest.
I mean I personally likes when he says to me that no recall or intervention can save me. Buddy, I don’t even have those spells. I’ve just got a really big stick.
to my understanding the bacterial infection theory came from the fact that one of their common targets, water buffalo, were too big for the venom to be able to kill them on its own, but have an instinct to retreat into deep water to escape predators, which got their injuries infected. The bacteria in the actual komodo's mouth is no more lethal than any other animal's. Course, don't quote me on this, I might be missing some details.
@@dumbsterdives the bacteria idea came about before we knew komodos were venomous. The study that proved the existance of venom glands and the venoms effect, also indirectly let us explore the possibility of other venomous lizards and surprisingly a lot of lizards are slightly venomous with different kinds of venoms.
something so silly, but your videos have helped me a lot in the last few months. no essay or anything, but i lost a parent very suddenly and your videos have helped me sleep so many of these rough nights. i’m a loyal sub now, now an owner of morrowind, and i can’t wait to see what crazy content you come up with. all the best! 🖤
25:45 You're not a paper tiger. A paper tiger is threatening but not actually as dangerous as it seems. You are a danger, you're just made of glass. So, if not a glass cannon then maybe a paper blowgun?
I highly recommend the channel General Apathy. Ignoring how the name sounds terrible, it's a dude who goes out and finds bugs and critters and tells you about them. It's very well edited and well done.
Speaking as a dedicated Morrowind Jumpmancer, you did well with your jump combo spells. However, for landing, I suggest effects that boost your acrobatics to 125 or higher. Temporary boosts make for a safe landing and can combo to boost a follow-up jump, but permanently getting 125 makes it so you never have to worry about fall damage again.
32:55 so according to my experience across the games; Magic is something anyone can learn and use, but some people have a natural affinity for learning and using it. the reason not everyone learns it is because it takes months or years of practice for a few spells, and mages are already so accessible. its like the reason we arent all chemists irl- why would we be when theres already chemists laying around?
I found your channel just recently. I lost someone very dear to me suddenly, and been struggling real bad with it. I watched all of your morrowwind videos and you uploaded one at the worst of it, and it is comforting. Keep doing you man, I appreciate it. By the way that's one of the best sponsor segments ever.
I was just wondering "hey, no Just Background Noise video for quite some time. I'd watch one, though..." - and you've delivered almost immediately. I'm either lucky, or you were reading my mind. Considering how my life goes recently - how is it to be a mind reader, JBN?
Thanks to you being an entertaining creator, I actually went and bought all main elder scrolls games on steam specifically so i can start morrowind soon. Motivation works!
@11:20 There’s smart and then there is wise. Like Dr. Ian Malcolm’s quote from Jurassic Park; “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.”
I remember playing through MW as a spellcaster once. Only premade spells and potions. No skill trainers. No merchant abuse. No weapons, too. Was quite a different experience compared to the usual "gilded juggernaut of infinite omnicide".
32:59 It’s implied by a random NPC conversation in Skyrim that not everyone can cast magic. The Aspiring Mage got laughed out of the Mages Guild when he thought he could cast magic but it was his grandfather’s staff doing the work.
I've been breaking Morrowind alchemy again recently, and just going everywhere with 50 points of levitation, becoming invincible in combat with restore health and fatigue, and casting overpowered spells with fortify intelligence and magicka. What a lovely way you gave to spice up my next playthrough
Fun fact: you can get all the needed flowers on a meadow next to Vassir-Didanat Cave past the rope bridge, so you can get all the mushrooms and flowers before even reaching Balmora. You're welcome 👍
i was playing osrs with this on in the background and got really confused by hearing the catacombs of kourend music at 42:20, nice music choice, great videos 👍
Fun fact: After more studying, researchers figured out komodo dragons use their venom to try and kill as quickly as possible (so they don't have to share the food) and the whole bacteria thing comes from the prey (the buffalo video being the one most people are familiar with) going into a pool of dirt ass water. Komodo dragons actually have a fairly clean mouths for a carnivore.
Thank you for posting! Been feeling really down recently, and videos like these really brighten my days. Plus, thanks to these, I always have something to put on background when I do crafts!
You're too humble bro, I actually watch your videos instead of simply having them in the background. I sometimes have snacks and it's better than the movies lol
@@BoxyBox778 he implies that people play his videos in the background while doing other stuff, hence the name of the channel and the joke in this video
Thanks to your videos, I finally decided to play morrowind! Ive just beaten Dagoth Ur today and I’ve enjoyed it throughly. Now I just have the expansions to go through.
Best part about youtube is that I was like: "Oh shit I know how to resolve the slowfall issue RN!" and then couple minutes later I was like "Oh fck me TIL! *claps*!" with the mudcrab a MG guide thing. Mindblowing
Great vid like always. But to answer your question in regards to Sunder and Keening, basically Dagoth Ur keeps em split apart so that they can be studied, but also to keep someone from just sneaking in instantly, grabbing both while having Wraithguard, and using them on the Heart before anyone knows what's going on.
Thanks for being you and doing the content you do man, had a childhood friend pass a few months ago and you content have been a resent favorite to have on in the backround to keep the mind from going down the slipper slope of a downward spiralling depression, so once again thanks and much love and respect from this little heathen in Sweden!✌
this video may be about poison, but i feel like i understand the whole of morrowind's mechanics more thoroughly after enjoying this unhinged masterpiece. never change, lemon
I'm late to the party but as another fun Gila Monster fact, they are no more closely related to True Lizards than Snakes are. However both Gila Monsters and Snakes are more closely related to True Lizards than Geckos are, and are more closely related to each other than they are to True Lizards.
I just recently came across your channel and fell in love with your Morrowind content immediately! It's hands down my favorite game ever made. I just recently got the urge to play it again ( been a couple of years ) and have been experiencing the Tamriel Rebuilt mod for the first time and WOW is all I can say! Keep up the great work!
@@JustBackgroundNoise also, putting the slowfall effect on an item would allow you to cast it without the cast animation. and with 100% cast chance, probably a bit more reliable than trying to time casting it while falling through the air. ...edit. not 3 minutes after I typed that, I got to the point where you do exactly that. sigh.
Your writing and humour is so fiercely on point I've been rewatching your morrowind videos daily. Hell I might even watch your runescape videos even though I have 0 interest in it. You're THAT good of a creator.
The jump/feather/slowfall combo was how I got everywhere playing this game when it came out, it's the reason alteration is my favourite school of magic. Felt like such a genius figuring this out on my own when I was like 11 years old
To my knowledge many lethal venoms tend to go the route of "cut off oxygen via paralysis" or "destruction of nervous tissue" which, while likely still painful, probably doesn't come close to the amount of pain you'd feel from venom that's designed specifically to cause pain. Gila monsters typically don't exchange venom except for self-defense purposes, and many self-defense mechanisms aren't designed to kill in the first place - only to drive off whatever thing is bothering them for long enough to mount an escape.
I have no reason to believe you'll see this comment and I have no idea if I even hope you do or not. I'm currently about 48 hours into an insomnia episode due to medication shortages and discovering your channel has kinda helped keep me somewhere adjacent to sane. So thank you. Your understanding of TES lore, entertaining videos, and sense of humor are all really lovely. Also I hope your next video(s) brings back a dedicated animal facts bit. Animal facts are lovely and more people need to know about the beautiful misunderstood world of sweat bees.
You can attack the dremoras to aggro Archmagister Gothren without his followers taking part, so it's only you vs the dremoras + Gothren. Good job in general, I love your content format
Just wanna say man, you make some of the best morrowind content out there, and considering how long this games been out it's big kudos. Keep it up brother
Im here because I cannot dedicate enough time to playing it again and also I know so many game breaking secrets that it will never be the same experience for me. However, it is the nostalgia I feel and how wandering Vvardenfel used to be my daily escape. I spent countless hours wandering and just finding out secrets. At the time, I had no internet access at all, so imagine that - completely clueless, just learning as you go along, an endless treasury of secrets. It was years before I found out about certain things players now find out about on their first playthrough because of youtube.
New studies have shown that the komodo bacteria is relatively similar to common bacteria in most vertebrates mouths and the venom is actually medically significant. The rumour came from a cow that died with an ankle bite but the cow stood in disgusting stagnant water which ended up giving the cow an infection.
Don’t know if someones already told you but the whole komodos kill with they nasty mouths thing was the working assumption for awhile (mostly because can you imagine trying to get komodo venom from a komodo dragon?) but new research indicates it is actually a haemophilic venom with like some necrotic proteins, they’re properly considered venomous these days
Komodo dragon venom is now actually thought to be the main thing that is effective in their hunting. The mouth bacteria hypothesis while very interesting and a great story, doesn't seem to hold up to modern scrutiny. Mostly the mouth bacteria of the Komodo dragon is about the same as any other similar carnivorous reptile. They are still badass, but it seems like they kind of just exsanguinate their prey by getting a bite or two on it that won't stop bleeding and then tracking them down repeatedly until they just can't keep running.
Just when i finished watching every video of yours for the fourth time you've uploaded!!! I love your content so much! Thank you for creating, you make my day SO much better :D
I literally fall asleep to your videos and that's not a dig at all I love your videos and watch them bit your voice(no diddy) literally is like asmr and puts me out lol
Ok so idk what switch flipped in my head but for whatever reason these videos are the only thing I can fall asleep to now so uh, good unintentional ASMR lol.
as always great morrowind video! I do hope you keep them coming and also hopefully you can branch out sucessfully into the other games... loved the one you did on oblivion and can only hope you will do more so in the future as nothing can really beat your style of videos which are so entertaining and rewatchable unlike most in the space...
If you don't know since you're using openMW when making multiple potions you can type the number in the bottom left and it will make them all at once, you don't need to worry about making a 100 weak potions the game will individually calculate each potion that's made as you level up, it does all of this instantly.
Magic is seemingly not out of reach of anyone aslong as they are willing to spend alot of time training and have a master pointing them, we know this from the Four Suitors of Benitah
I've always wondered why poison is so ludicrously expensive. Not only is it the most resisted damage type, but it's also the only damage type with a magical effect that can just end it instantly (and only it, compared to dispel which just removes anything). You'd think those things would make it the cheapest, but no. Weird.

I'm either lucky, or you were reading my mind. Considering how my life goes recently - how is it to be a mind reader, JBN?
Argonian with colovian fur helm makes me happy
Thanks to you being an entertaining creator, I actually went and bought all main elder scrolls games on steam specifically so i can start morrowind soon. Motivation works!
@11:20 There’s smart and then there is wise.
Like Dr. Ian Malcolm’s quote from Jurassic Park; “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.”
i love that quote
"you really think if I had a clone, I wouldn't have the clone do the editing?"
pff im dead
To my knowledge Gila Monster venom isn't lethal but it is incredibly painful and will make the average recipient wish it was lethal
That seems like a trend with all the non outright lethal venoms. Platypus venom is supposedly super painful and can cause pain for years after.
I remember playing through MW as a spellcaster once. Only premade spells and potions. No skill trainers. No merchant abuse. No weapons, too.
Was quite a different experience compared to the usual "gilded juggernaut of infinite omnicide".
Dude, I'm loving the fact that you're doing bits with your camera and such. Its awesome to see the face behind the quality content!
I love you finally mentioned that any point you start talking deep lore with a million names it does start to sound entirely like gibberish
i love how progressively more meta the videos are getting. the opera ad was golden
32:59 It’s implied by a random NPC conversation in Skyrim that not everyone can cast magic. The Aspiring Mage got laughed out of the Mages Guild when he thought he could cast magic but it was his grandfather’s staff doing the work.
2:44 got me good
really enjoy the small bits of comedy you manage to weave into the video among all the info
You have more self control than I for not naming your character Lifts-Her-Tail
I've been breaking Morrowind alchemy again recently, and just going everywhere with 50 points of levitation, becoming invincible in combat with restore health and fatigue, and casting overpowered spells with fortify intelligence and magicka. What a lovely way you gave to spice up my next playthrough
Fun fact: you can get all the needed flowers on a meadow next to Vassir-Didanat Cave past the rope bridge, so you can get all the mushrooms and flowers before even reaching Balmora. You're welcome 👍
i was playing osrs with this on in the background and got really confused by hearing the catacombs of kourend music at 42:20, nice music choice, great videos 👍
Always brings me joy to see your face in my sub box. Looking forward to this one!
Fun fact: After more studying, researchers figured out komodo dragons use their venom to try and kill as quickly as possible (so they don't have to share the food) and the whole bacteria thing comes from the prey (the buffalo video being the one most people are familiar with) going into a pool of dirt ass water.
Komodo dragons actually have a fairly clean mouths for a carnivore.
Thank you for posting! Been feeling really down recently, and videos like these really brighten my days. Plus, thanks to these, I always have something to put on background when I do crafts!
4:06 You're one of two TH-camrs I haven't skipped over their add segment. Well done making it entertaining!
You're too humble bro, I actually watch your videos instead of simply having them in the background. I sometimes have snacks and it's better than the movies lol
Wtf?
@@BoxyBox778 he implies that people play his videos in the background while doing other stuff, hence the name of the channel and the joke in this video
Ever since TH-cam recommended your Morrowind content, I've been watching religiously. Some of my favorite videos to watch before sleeping.
2:39
I feel called out by this very relatable ad segway.
Thanks to your videos, I finally decided to play morrowind! Ive just beaten Dagoth Ur today and I’ve enjoyed it throughly. Now I just have the expansions to go through.
Best part about youtube is that I was like: "Oh shit I know how to resolve the slowfall issue RN!" and then couple minutes later I was like "Oh fck me TIL! *claps*!" with the mudcrab a MG guide thing. Mindblowing
Great vid like always. But to answer your question in regards to Sunder and Keening, basically Dagoth Ur keeps em split apart so that they can be studied, but also to keep someone from just sneaking in instantly, grabbing both while having Wraithguard, and using them on the Heart before anyone knows what's going on.
Divayth Fyr saw the plot twist for that sponsorship segment coming from a mile away.
Thanks for being you and doing the content you do man, had a childhood friend pass a few months ago and you content have been a resent favorite to have on in the backround to keep the mind from going down the slipper slope of a downward spiralling depression, so once again thanks and much love and respect from this little heathen in Sweden!✌
this video may be about poison, but i feel like i understand the whole of morrowind's mechanics more thoroughly after enjoying this unhinged masterpiece. never change, lemon
Wrong channel, but Lemon's a pretty cool guy.
I'm late to the party but as another fun Gila Monster fact, they are no more closely related to True Lizards than Snakes are. However both Gila Monsters and Snakes are more closely related to True Lizards than Geckos are, and are more closely related to each other than they are to True Lizards.
I just recently came across your channel and fell in love with your Morrowind content immediately! It's hands down my favorite game ever made. I just recently got the urge to play it again ( been a couple of years ) and have been experiencing the Tamriel Rebuilt mod for the first time and WOW is all I can say! Keep up the great work!
re: the venom discussion, non-lethal is probably more painful because pain stops when you die.
I guess doctors don't quiz people on how much a rattlesnake bite hurts. Missed opportunity.
@@JustBackgroundNoise also, putting the slowfall effect on an item would allow you to cast it without the cast animation. and with 100% cast chance, probably a bit more reliable than trying to time casting it while falling through the air.
...edit. not 3 minutes after I typed that, I got to the point where you do exactly that. sigh.
i’ve never really played much of morrowind but these are genuinely like top 3 content on youtube for me, do hope you keep it up
Congrats on 50k subs Mr. Noise
JUST as I am preparing to get some sleep, this drops. 😩At least I have something to look forward to in the morning. Thanks JBN. 🙏
Hell yeah love the morrowind stuff
Your writing and humour is so fiercely on point I've been rewatching your morrowind videos daily. Hell I might even watch your runescape videos even though I have 0 interest in it. You're THAT good of a creator.
Stoneflower petals are easy to find just outside the northern gate of caldera when you pop there for orcish armour/master alchemy sets
Good tip, thanks!
please never stop making videos, don't even have to be about morrowind, anything you enjoy, just keep it up
This channel has finally got me to play Morrowind, and I love it. Can't figure out how to use Quick Keys or make Taunting/Admiring happen fast.
holy shit 43 seconds ago
I've never played Morrowind but I've seen all your Morrowind videos.
MORE. I NEED MORE.
The jump/feather/slowfall combo was how I got everywhere playing this game when it came out, it's the reason alteration is my favourite school of magic. Felt like such a genius figuring this out on my own when I was like 11 years old
To my knowledge many lethal venoms tend to go the route of "cut off oxygen via paralysis" or "destruction of nervous tissue" which, while likely still painful, probably doesn't come close to the amount of pain you'd feel from venom that's designed specifically to cause pain. Gila monsters typically don't exchange venom except for self-defense purposes, and many self-defense mechanisms aren't designed to kill in the first place - only to drive off whatever thing is bothering them for long enough to mount an escape.
I have no reason to believe you'll see this comment and I have no idea if I even hope you do or not. I'm currently about 48 hours into an insomnia episode due to medication shortages and discovering your channel has kinda helped keep me somewhere adjacent to sane. So thank you. Your understanding of TES lore, entertaining videos, and sense of humor are all really lovely.
Also I hope your next video(s) brings back a dedicated animal facts bit. Animal facts are lovely and more people need to know about the beautiful misunderstood world of sweat bees.
You can attack the dremoras to aggro Archmagister Gothren without his followers taking part, so it's only you vs the dremoras + Gothren.
Good job in general, I love your content format
2:30 I love that inside joke.. and I definitely appreciate the background noise also..👍😂❤️
Just wanna say man, you make some of the best morrowind content out there, and considering how long this games been out it's big kudos. Keep it up brother
The clone bit rocks. That's one of the first sponsors I didn't mind watching
Im here because I cannot dedicate enough time to playing it again and also I know so many game breaking secrets that it will never be the same experience for me. However, it is the nostalgia I feel and how wandering Vvardenfel used to be my daily escape. I spent countless hours wandering and just finding out secrets. At the time, I had no internet access at all, so imagine that - completely clueless, just learning as you go along, an endless treasury of secrets. It was years before I found out about certain things players now find out about on their first playthrough because of youtube.
New studies have shown that the komodo bacteria is relatively similar to common bacteria in most vertebrates mouths and the venom is actually medically significant. The rumour came from a cow that died with an ankle bite but the cow stood in disgusting stagnant water which ended up giving the cow an infection.
I don't usually watch sponsor segment of the video, but for this one I made an exception. I don't know why, but I enjoy you breaking the fourth wall.
The Add-Transition was personal and on point. Love it!
Don’t know if someones already told you but the whole komodos kill with they nasty mouths thing was the working assumption for awhile (mostly because can you imagine trying to get komodo venom from a komodo dragon?) but new research indicates it is actually a haemophilic venom with like some necrotic proteins, they’re properly considered venomous these days
Komodo dragon venom is now actually thought to be the main thing that is effective in their hunting. The mouth bacteria hypothesis while very interesting and a great story, doesn't seem to hold up to modern scrutiny. Mostly the mouth bacteria of the Komodo dragon is about the same as any other similar carnivorous reptile. They are still badass, but it seems like they kind of just exsanguinate their prey by getting a bite or two on it that won't stop bleeding and then tracking them down repeatedly until they just can't keep running.
Just when i finished watching every video of yours for the fourth time you've uploaded!!! I love your content so much! Thank you for creating, you make my day SO much better :D
it's always funny to imagine the "Teleport the Heart to a Mages Guild" bug from the perspective of a Mages Guild NPC
Y'know, I really like the cinematic shots you did for the intro of this video.
Im so happy a new one posted. Think ive cut through all the older ones.
at 40:00; creating Tamriel's first space program xD
You are amazing background noise while I'm working. Thank you. (I try to upvote when I'm directly looking at my youtube browser)
Your work around for the heart is truly amazing.
I usually skip straight past sponsorship sections, but yours was sublime. Easily the best I've seen in a while.
I literally fall asleep to your videos and that's not a dig at all I love your videos and watch them bit your voice(no diddy) literally is like asmr and puts me out lol
“It looks like some crumbling metal, but I’d like to think there’s something more metaphysical going on here.” Morrowind in a nutshell honestly.
Absolutely love your content. Theres a shocking lack of good Morrowind content. And you are so entertaining
Ok so idk what switch flipped in my head but for whatever reason these videos are the only thing I can fall asleep to now so uh, good unintentional ASMR lol.
as always great morrowind video! I do hope you keep them coming and also hopefully you can branch out sucessfully into the other games... loved the one you did on oblivion and can only hope you will do more so in the future as nothing can really beat your style of videos which are so entertaining and rewatchable unlike most in the space...
If you don't know since you're using openMW when making multiple potions you can type the number in the bottom left and it will make them all at once, you don't need to worry about making a 100 weak potions the game will individually calculate each potion that's made as you level up, it does all of this instantly.
Magic is seemingly not out of reach of anyone aslong as they are willing to spend alot of time training and have a master pointing them, we know this from the Four Suitors of Benitah
That jumpy jump spell combination is exactly how I've always gotten around, it's cool to see someone else discover it organically.
Hey man, really been enjoying your content on here. Keep up the great work! I've been working through Morrowind for the first time lately.
The inventory shot at 41:08 suddenly made me hear BOA TARDE AMIGO
I watch this to fall asleep too. Something about his voice helps me doze off. Love your videos!
I've always wondered why poison is so ludicrously expensive. Not only is it the most resisted damage type, but it's also the only damage type with a magical effect that can just end it instantly (and only it, compared to dispel which just removes anything). You'd think those things would make it the cheapest, but no. Weird.
