“Paranoia” is a side quest in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered about a Wood Elf who’s paranoid about a series of maybe-maybe-not stalkers. There are multiple ways this quest can play out, and the reward is a variable amount of gold You can actually completed “Paranoia” almost as soon as it starts, but if you’d rather get involved with the suspicious Wood Elf, there’s an entertaining quest line to look forward to. This Oblivion Remastered guide includes a full “Paranoia” walkthrough, with where to start the quest and what happens if you accept the quest giver’s proposal, or not, and the rewards for completing it. ‘Paranoia’ walkthrough in Oblivion Remastered In Skingrad, you might come across a Wood Elf named Glarthir, whose appearance is immediately striking since he has yellow pupils. He’ll ask you to meet him Great Chapel of Julianos at midnight. If you haven’t come across him, go to the chapel around midnight anyway and he should be lurking around. Should you accuse Bernadette? After meeting up with him, he’ll tell you he thinks a woman named Bernadette Peneles is stalking him. He’ll ask you to help him out by meeting outside his house and then spying on Bernadette in return. Say yes and meet him outside of his house at 6 a.m.. Bernadette’s house is right across from his. You can either wait or rest to 6 a.m., and you’ll see Bernadette walking around (she’s wearing a red headband). Simply just follow her for an entire day. While Glarthir says to not let her see you, she just minds her own business as she goes to chapel, does some gardening work, and sits down at benches. After following her for an entire day, report back to Glarthir at midnight behind the chapel.. Whether you confirm or deny that Bernadette is spying on him, he’ll give you 150 gold as a reward. He’ll then ask you to spy on Toutius Sextius. Should you accuse Toutius? As with Bernadette, follow Toutius around. You can find him at his house, and he usually comes out around 10:30 a.m.. At midnight, report to Glarthir again. If you deem both Bernadette and Toutius innocent, he’ll give you another 150 gold. However, if you accuse both of them, he’ll give you 200 gold instead. Should you accuse Davide? Glarthir will then finally ask you to spy on Davide Surille. As with both Bernadette and Toutius, follow Davide around. He can be elusive, but I found him wandering around town in the early mornings near the West Gate at around 6:30 a.m.. Or you can wait outside the Surille brothers’ house.  If you accuse Davide, Glarthir will give you another 150 gold. If you’ve also accused at least Bernadette or Toutius, he’ll increase it to 200. Glarthir will then hand you a note asking you to kill the ones you’ve accused of spying on him, with the reward being 1,000 gold. All ‘Paranoia’ quest outcomes in Oblivion Remastered There are multiple different outcomes in “Paranoia” depending on what you choose to do. Here are the outcomes at a glance, followed by some extra details about how to see these through: If you choose not to kill the people you’ve accused, Glarthir will do it himself. If you choose to kill them, you’ll earn 1,000 gold. If you clear all three people, Glarthir will attack you. If you report Glarthir to a guard, the guard will kill him. If you don’t help Glarthir in the first place, he’ll kill Bernadette himself. In order to kill Bernadette or Davide, you can simply just lockpick into their houses at night and kill them in their sleep. Toutius tends to walk outside of town, where you can kill him without any guards nearby to see. When you’ve killed who Glarthir has asked, meet up with him again at midnight. He’ll breathe a sigh of relief, having his suspicions confirmed, and hand you the 1,000 gold. When reporting to Glarthir, if you clear Bernadette, Toutius, and Davide, he will get mad at you and attack you. After killing him, you can grab his house key off his body, enter his house, and loot all of his chests, which contain a large variety of different items. Alternatively, if you show the note Glarthir gave you to a guard, the guard will go kill him. You can grab the key to his house off his body then and loot the chests. At the beginning of the quest, if you refuse to help Glarthir, he’ll go and kill Bernadette himself. Shortly after your meeting with him, he’ll go to his house and grab an axe. He’ll then either enter Bernadette’s house at night or go to the chapel during the day and they’ll duke it out. Sometimes Bernadette actually wins. If Bernadette ends up running out of the building, the guards will attack Glarthir. In the event Glarthir succeeds, he’ll walk out of the building and the guards will attack him. Again, don’t forget to grab his keys! Regardless, “Paranoia” doesn’t end without at least one person dead! Just don’t let it be you.

I thought it was just me, a non-native English speaker, who loved watching everything with subtitles on. But clearly, it's not. Based on a recent survey, more than 50% of US viewers watch content with the subtitles on. And there are many reasons why. Sometimes you want to watch something on a low volume in bed, and sometimes it's just too hard to understand what a character is saying. Or, you could be watching with cheap TV speakers that make your audio hard to hear.Netflix is starting to understand this, and so for people who don't necessarily need to see sound effects in their subtitles, is adding a new dialogue-only subtitles mode. This mode removes text-descriptions for sound effects, speakers, and more.And don't worry: The CC or Closed Captions option will still be there, so you can pick that if you need subtitles for more than just dialogue. It will tell you when a song is playing, when someone makes some noise, or even if there's a change in setting.How to switch to dialogue-only subtitles on NetflixThis will be a gradual rollout, and Netflix is starting with the latest (and final) season of You, as well as the Tom Hardy film Havoc.We don't yet know if Netflix will go on to roll out dialogue-only subs for all existing content, but the company is promising that every new Netflix Original, in every language, will have dialogue-only subtitles. So Netflix isn't limiting this to only English. For example, you'll find dialogue-only subtitles in German as well. Credit: Netflix To switch over to dialogue only subs, start streaming your supported content, and then head over to the Subtitles section. Here, choose English (or your language of choice) in the Audio section, and then select English in the Subtitles section as well. To maintain subs for more than just dialogue, choose English (CC).And that's all there is to it. You're now watching with subtitles that only show the dialogue. It's just you and the characters.

The hit co-op adventure game Split Fiction is already headed for Hollywood with Sydney Sweeney in a starring role, according to Variety. Along with the Euphoria actor, the film adaptation welcomed Wicked’s Jon M. Chu as the project’s director and screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who worked on Deadpool & Wolverine. Sweeney will also reportedly be an executive producer for the Split Fiction movie. Split Fiction features two authors named Mio and Zoe who get trapped in fictional worlds they penned up. It’s still unknown which of the two Split Fiction protagonists Sweeney will portray. Shortly after the video game’s release in March, Variety reported on a bidding war for a film adaptation of Split Fiction. Hazelight Studios, an indie video game developer out of Sweden, created the game that centers around split-screen combat and bounces between sci-fi and fantasy worlds. The game saw early success, selling two million copies in its first week, which may have led to the quick turnaround of a proposed Hollywood adaptation. It was picked up by Story Kitchen, a studio known for adaptations of franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog and Tomb Raider, but there’s no release window yet.

Just because a home listing gets a price cut doesn’t necessarily indicate that the home actually sold for less than its comps. Some real estate agents use pricing strategies that intentionally list too high to test the market or create negotiation room. After all, even during the pandemic housing boom—when home prices were surging—18.7% of U.S. homes for sale in March 2021 still saw a price cut. That said, if the share of inventory receiving a price cut rises beyond typical seasonal patterns, it can suggest a market where homebuyers are gaining leverage. Conversely, if the share of inventory receiving a price cut falls beyond seasonality, it can indicate a market where home sellers are gaining leverage. Here’s how the percentage of U.S. active housing inventory receiving a price cut in March 2025 compared to the historical totals: March 2017: 25.6% March 2018: 26.6% March 2019: 26.4% March 2020: 22.8% March 2021: 18.7% March 2022: 21.3% March 2023: 29.4% March 2024: 31.7% March 2025: 33.9% How did ResiClub calculate this? We divided the number of U.S. homes for sale that received a price reduction in March by the total number of active U.S. home listings during that same month. The table below shows the raw data. (The Realtor.com data series we used for this analysis only goes back to July 2016.) Big picture: This data is just one more bit of evidence showing that the national housing market’s supply-demand equilibrium has begun shifting in homebuyers’ favor ever since mortgage rates spiked in late spring 2022 and the pandemic housing boom fizzled out. Of course, this all varies significantly across the country.  Some housing markets—particularly in parts of the Midwest and Northeast—remain relatively tight, with sellers still in control. Others markets have just shifted into balanced markets, while some pockets of the Sun Belt have turned into outright buyer’s markets.

Sometimes, the simplest pieces of furniture bring the most joy and versatility to a living space. For those who appreciate clever design and minimalism, discovering a step stool that easily transforms into storage, a side table, or even extra seating feels like finding a secret tool for modern living. Plateau offers exactly that kind of flexible functionality, blending into any room with ease and grace. Plateau doesn’t just serve one purpose. Its geometric form adapts to your needs throughout the day, whether you’re reaching a high shelf, tucking away clutter, or hosting guests. It’s a perfect match for the lifestyles of those who crave more with less: furniture collectors, small-space dwellers, and anyone who likes their home to be as nimble as they are. Designer: Selek Design Crafted from wood, each Plateau piece boasts a unique personality thanks to the natural variations in grain and tone. This makes it more than just another piece of flat-pack furniture, making it feel warm and personal and introducing a touch of nature and craftsmanship to the home. The wooden construction also lends a comforting sturdiness, so you can step or sit with confidence. What sets Plateau apart is its smart three-piece structure. The design features three containers, each perfectly proportioned to work together or apart. The two smaller units come with covers, making them ideal for hidden storage or as impromptu trays. When all three are nested, they form a stable and reliable step stool, ready to help you access those just-out-of-reach spots. But Plateau’s versatility doesn’t stop there. Each piece can be used individually as shelves, a side table, a small bench, or simply a decorative accent. The ability to reconfigure the units as your needs change means you can streamline your space without compromising on function. It’s a thoughtful approach that encourages creativity and flexibility in how you use your furniture. By combining several everyday functions into one elegant form, Plateau aims to reduce the need for multiple single-purpose items. It goes beyond simply maximizing your living area, offering an intentional way to minimize resource use and environmental impact. For anyone seeking beauty, efficiency, and adaptability in one unassuming design, Plateau stands out as a timeless companion for modern living.
