The year is 2050. Microsoft announces its tenth stage of pre-production for The Elder Scrolls VI with a still image of a misty pond in the woods. Geriatric Scrolls fans lose their damn minds (again). You think I'm joking, but it's a completely plausible scenario. But don't cry just yet—we've got memes! Lots and lots of Elder Scrolls memes! Just keep scrolling. Scroll the pain away.

We see you

Greetings, gamers. And non-gamers. That's the great thing about memes. Even if you're not familiar with a subject, you can still enjoy memes about it without feeling completely lost. This is especially true where Skyrim memes are concerned. I'll come out and say it: I've never played the game. I was forbidden from owning any sort of video game console as a child, which didn't exactly prepare me for being a gamer girl in my twenties. That said, I've heard a lot about the game, and over my five y…

Everyone's losing their minds over the recent GTA VI leaks, but how about some Elder Scrolls VI leaks? Can we get a crumb of those, too? No? Okay, I guess we'll just have to keep passing around the same funny memes about games Bethesda released over a decade ago. Keep scrolling for some of our favorite gaming memes for every kind of Elder Scrolls fanatic.

Trainwiz is at it again with the modding antics, and this time he's replaced all the dragons in Skyrim with the great state of Ohio. According to his Nexus Mods profile, Kevin Brock, a.k.a. Trainwiz, has been modding Elder Scrolls games since 2016. Plenty of gamers in the modding community have been well aware of Trainwiz's work for years, but nothing enhances a mod's virality like a good meme reference , and turning Alduin into a giant, fire-breathing Ohio got everyone's attention—even the Twi…

Elder Scrolls memes are nothing new - the darkest corners of Reddit, Facebook, and Instagram seem to be filled with memes about the games. Don't believe me? Check out Know Your Meme . There are countless formats that either user or are about the game. They come in handy if you find yourself staying up too late or thinking about the game when you feel like should probably be doing other more responsible things like your job, or the laundry you should have done a week ago. Here we're fans of givi…

There hasn't been a new Elder Scrolls game since Skyrim was first released in 2011, which has forced fans to keep the game interesting by coming up with their own wacky mods and side quests. Just recently, one madlad called u/Morlino on Reddit posted some gameplay footage to r/Skyrim in which the player shows off their collection of every single Dragon Priest mask in Skyrim. According to the redditor, the undertaking took 92 hours to complete because they never once used fast travel. Anyone who…

I need to confess something to y'all: I'm not really a gamer. I mean, I am, in a sense, but I prefer the realm of board games. And board games you can buy on Steam, like Wingspan. This is thanks to the fact that I was forbidden from playing any video games as a kid, and I haven't let my parents hear the end of my profound resentment. That resentment skyrocketed when my younger brother was gifted an Xbox after I had already moved from the house. He and most of my male friends would regale me wit…

It's easy to become immersed in video games - look at the success of Elden Ring and the time its devoted enthusiasts spend trying to beat the damn thing. Despite all the hours poured into them, video games are obviously not real life. And that's a good thing, too – if they were, I suspect a fair few of us would be guilty of crimes against humanity and tried in the Hague. Think of how full the prisons would be, and how stupid everyone on the street would look. Bad hair. Weirdly boob-enhancing ar…

On Sunday, Microsoft revealed plenty of exciting new game releases and updates at the 2022 Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, but the star of the show was undoubtedly Starfield— an open world sci-fi RPG that has already been dubbed by many as “ Fallout in space” and “No Man's Skyrim.” Bethesda showed off 15 minutes of Starfield gameplay, which might not have inspired the sort of hype they were hoping for. Many on Twitter, Reddit, and the comment sections of various gaming news outlets have been roasti…

It's been 28 years since gamers first virtually set foot on the medieval fantasy world of Tamriel. Bethesda hasn't released a new game since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (unless of course, you count all the online versions) and yet the lull in Elder Scrolls lore hasn't stopped the fans from producing dank Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim content. If you need something to entertain you while you wait an eternity for the Elder Scrolls VI announcement, we've rounded up a bunch of memes to keep you s…

Random tweets, games, bumper stickers, anime, your toddler, etc.—sometimes you just get smacked in the face with words when you least expected it.

Gamers unite.

Stupid cliff racers.

Destruction 100. One Handed 100.

Thanks, we loved it.
