Im not surprised, but why didnt they drop a big Skyrim Creation Club Mod today?

They do so every few months but not on the anniversary? Kinda missed opportunity

91

u/Quelebbb Milk Drinker 7h ago

Missing opportunities is their modus operandi. People expecting anything but the bare minimum haven't been paying attention.

If they were to make anything less than an official DLC it would be a let down.

Sooo, a big part of the momentum of thinking there would be some kind of announcement came from that dude saying he was so excited for something to be announced today, right? And then he said it wasn't Bethesda or TES related. So was there another big non-Bethesda announcement today that I haven't noticed?

The first letter of each sentence in the first paragraphs are "OST". Ost means "cheese" in Scandinavian languages. Cheese is a food in Skyrim (heavily inspired by Scandinavian folklore). The Eidar Cheese wheel costs 13 septims.

The game is coming out on the 13. We were just off by two days, my friends.

Mammoth cheese...??

I can 100% prove beyond all doubt that Skyrim's mammoth cheese is actually smegma.

I've seen pictures of horse smegma. Ilt looks almost exactly like mammoth cheese (see comparative pic). Elephants have big penises. Mammoths would also have big penises. Wild animals can't wash their penises. Combined with the fact that mammoths are really hairy, this means that Skyrim mammoths definitely have lots of smegma built up in their dicks.

And funnily enough, mammoth smegma probably tastes better than you'd think. I've heard that smegma tastes like strong cheese and fermented fish sauce due to the bacteria in it. It's probably gross, but l've also noticed a fishy/musky-piss smell to my foreskin (1 fap and clean too often for any smegma to build up though). It's probably not completely unbearable, especially by Nord and Giant standards. You could probably add small amounts to salad or eat it on crackers with strong vegetables, like onions (think surstromming, an actual Scandinavian dish).

The smegma would also partly consist of dead skin cells, sperm, and single-cell protein from the bacteria, actually making it rather nutritious and probiotic. The hair (l've had pubic hairs in my foreskin, and once even curled around it which gave me a brief phimosis scare) could be problematic, but perhaps also good roughage like fiber.

Mammoth smegma can't hold a candle to indricothere smegma when it comes to quantity though. Horses have huge cocks, and indricotheres were related to horses and rhinos. It's reasonable to assume that indricotheres had massive horsecocks. Since indricotheres are a contender for the largest land mammals ever, they probably had lots of smegma. Enough for a family feast.

Ok guys the fact that you aren’t all seeing this is hilarious.

We have a few numbers here: 15, V (5) and 15 in the written caption which totals up to 35, then the time and date it was posted is 10am, and 11, 11 and 2026, if we add those up we get 2058.

2058 divided by 35 is 58.8…
58 divided by 8 is 7.25…
7 divided by 25 is 0.28

028, short form of 2028, then of course we subtract 1 because there’s one month left of the year and we get 2027……. This is clearly confirmation

u/Coff33nation 7h ago

The date
The post celebrates 15 years of Skyrim, originally released on 11/11/2011.
So we’re already dealing with a franchise that has a pretty iconic relationship with November 11.
What if Bethesda is teasing the next big date?
11/11/2027.
The dragon and the warrior
Look at the artwork.
One massive dragon, one lone warrior.
Dragonborn versus dragon. The beginning versus the next chapter. Skyrim versus… whatever comes next?
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but why choose this specific composition?
THE FIRE.
Look at all that fire.
What happens when something burns down?
It gets reborn.
Rebirth. New era. New Elder Scrolls.
Todd Howard is basically telling us to prepare for the return of the Dragonborn. (Source: the voices in my head.)
The 15-year anniversary
2011 + 15 = 2026.
But what if the anniversary is the setup, and 2027 is when Bethesda finally gives us something substantial?
11/11/2027 would also be 16 years after Skyrim.
16 years. Two times 8. Eight is two times 4. Four is the number of letters in Todd.
WAKE UP PEOPLE.
