Thanks for ruining the rotating login screen photos you assholes, I actually liked those owl-pissed

I'm sure everyone alive on Planet Earth already knew about Todd Howard's latest Gamebryo-powered mess

I love that this ad is presented just like a picture of a savannah or a castle

As an idiot who just built my first machine, do you have any links on what that is and how to do it? Everything i'm finding on google either seems kind of sus or is from a decade ago, but i sure would like to have 0 ads in my life.
