: Grant's doing the 'hamster impersonation' at the moment. Not the being 'cute and furry' part, though that may also be true, more of the 'endlessly running in wheel getting nowhere specific'. Sad but true.

Right now the biggest news in the community is Skyrim Special Edition (SSE). If for some reason you've been living under a rock and haven't heard, Skyrim Special Edition is a remastered Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It will be released for the world in late October of this year. PC users will get it for free as long as they own either the Legendary Edition or have all the DLC. Many users skipped purchasing Hearthfire, but now is the time to get it so a free copy of Skyrim Special Edition can be claimed. This remastered version comes with a newer Creation Kit engine and 64-bit gameplay. The main remastering is being done to the visuals as users will have several new effects including better sun sets and sun rises, new snow and water shaders, screen-space reflections, volumetric god rays, and more. At this time, no one is sure of the scope of the changes, but what we do know is Bethesda has, at the very least, has filled the world with more foliage and clutter. This much can be seen in the teaser video.
