The Best Feature Of ‘Oblivion' Has Been Faithfully Recreated In The Remaster
Oblivion
Nearly 200,000 people on Steam alone, concurrently, dove into the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remaster after it was shadow dropped on Tuesday by Bethesda and Virtuous. Well, 'stealth dropped' after being leaked a dozen times, but the end result was a wildly impressive remaster that may be one of the best we've ever seen.
Some people wondered if everything was going to carry over from Oblivion, and they have in fact left some of the 'jank' in place, and players are getting goofy bugs and having awkward NPC conversations. But there's one aspect that has remained faithful to the original in a big way: the ability to create horrible monstrosities in the character creator, now with the added benefit of Unreal 5 for even more stomach-churning detail.
I've been going through social media to find the best of the best, or rather the worst of the worst, and I've collected a gallery of the most feature-worthy here. Check them out:

There have got to be thousands of these, but I'll stop here for now. If you have one of your own that you want featured here, you can send it to me on Twitter, @paultassi, and if it's ugly enough, I may throw it in. I made a normal looking character myself but now I'm starting to regret that. Plus, a helmet erases all this anyway, right?
Glad to see that Oblivion is still Oblivion after all these years, and everything, including the comedy, has been kept intact for this.

Your Horoscope for the Week of June 8
Get ready for a wild ride! The planets are making moves and shaking things up in a good way. Moments will be fun and some will be rough. Try to make the most of it by stepping away from heated situations when they begin. The ultimate flex is to not engage in drama and to focus on yourself. Protect your energy! The week begins with Mercury and Jupiter forming a conjunction in Gemini on June 8, which gives us complete understanding and clarity. Mercury will enter Cancer later that same day, bringing emotion to the way we express ourselves. Jupiter swims into Cancer on June 9, adding luck and goodness to our vibe. Mercury in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries on the 9th, making us think before we speak. Venus in Taurus shares a fraud aspect with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on June 9, creating intense power struggles in relationships. Mercury and Neptune in Aries meet up on June 9, allowing us to embrace our fantasies and daydreams. The Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11 will enable us to transcend and evolve. Mercury and Venus harmonize on the 11th, urging us to speak from the heart and lead with our best intentions. The Sun in Gemini and the Nodes of Destiny share a frenetic connection on June 13, offering us new opportunities to choose from. Sometimes, it pays off to be reflective and contemplative, especially when it comes to discussing personal matters that are weighing on you with a close friend. Being strategic in how you chat about your emotions is beneficial because it encourages you to be empathetic and direct in conversation without conflict. Once you take a stance, it's hard to get out of the train of thought, even if your assessments aren't correct and inaccurate. Before digging your heels in the mud and allowing yourself to get stuck in a mindset, consider understanding the other person's side and POV from the get-go. The best things in life are free, but that sentiment won't pay for this season's It Bag. Saving your pennies for an item you're lusting after isn't going to stop you from desiring new swag next month, so figure out what stylistically stands the test of time. Decide before swiping your card and your wallet will thank you. 'Tis the time for your glow-up. This week brings a massive shift in how you see yourself and how others view you. Don't worry, little crab, the cosmos are heightening your popularity. It just may be hard for you to accept your fandom at first, but you will embrace it soon. If you've been yearning for down time so take a few days for some R&R after work. Treat yourself to a mani-pedi with a foot massage to unwind and chill at home. You'll be grateful that you chose to decompress instead of hitting the bars when you realize how revitalizing it is. Your social network is making strides, aligning you with people who can give you a boost in your career. Therefore, you need to beef up your LinkedIn account and presence to show them your skills and knowledge. They might be able to help you professionally in the future, so reach out! Although you may not do it intentionally, you're breadcrumbing your crush or S.O. The constant demands of your 9 to 5 are holding you back from being there for your boo. Don't let that stand between you both. Plan a special outing to make them feel the love you have in your heart. Obsessed with being at the top of your game? You don't have to climb the corporate ladder to prove your worth. When you are feeling down and blue about your current situation or frustrated, know that you are the CEO of being fabulous, which is all that really matters. The group chat is dwindling, and you're scrambling to get everyone back into gear for summer (which technically begins next week, but in your mind, it's already started). Nudge them delicately before laying on the guilt trip and theatrics. They'll respond if you present a plan for the next hangout. Even though you tend to hold onto grudges (no judgment!), there comes a time when you gotta release them. The week ahead asks you to unshackle yourself from such burdens to live and let live without continuously hardening your heart. Unchain yourself from the resentments holding you back from growing. Integrity is essential to you but not always vital for others. Some peeps may disappoint you this week when you witness their sketchy behavior in personal and professional settings. For you, it's a deal breaker, so you're moving onward and upward with those who are honest and loyal. Drop mic. People can be two-faced at times. While that sentiment is true, the caveat is that you are running your mouth and annoyed that others are doing it too. If your pals get caught with their hands in the cookie jar, deal with the problem and make amends for your part.
