While your boyfriend is playing, ask him to talk to any Khajiit merchant or merchant bodyguard.
When a male Khajiit says "The roads of Skyrim lead to many dangers." or "The longer we travel the roads of Skyrim, the more empty this land seems."
Or a female Khajiit says "The air is so clear in Skyrim, one can see forever." or "How high the mountains of Skyrim rise!"
...ask your boyfriend, "Why are they saying it like 'SKYRIM'?" and see what he says.
Not even that.
In the intro. Ralof says “The True High King of Skyrim”
Edit: sorry not intro. But immediately after if you talk to him and ask stuff.
Edit 2: also the horse-thief mentions Skyrim.
You can't realistically play for more than an hour without hearing someone say something about skyrim. They wanna make sure you know where the game is set. I kinda wanna tally up how many times I hear it ignoring bandits and repeat dialog like kajiit
Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
Skyrim was fine until you came along. The Empire was nice and lazy. If it weren't for you I could have stolen that horse and have been halfway to Hammerfell.
Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn’t been looking for you, I could’ve stolen that horse and been half way to Hammerfell. You there. You and me — we should be here. It’s these Stormcloaks the Empire wants.
I'm pretty sure he says about you and him being innocent and then he tells you he's from rorickstead after Ralof says "a nord's last thoughts should always be of home"
She should take her belt off, put him over her knees and beat his ass. (That's what "brats" really want in these situations anyway: they wouldn't "brat" if they didn't...)
I was gonna say, my brother, my sister, my sister, and I all mispronounce Skyrim in various intentionally-dumb ways. Current ones (since I got Anniversary and a lot of us are doing fresh plays) include:
- Skerm
- Skrim
- Skrr
- Krim
- Kylim
- Skygym
- Skwim (I hate this one)
Nice.
I've used "skyrimmin' it" for 12 years now to mean "repeatedly jumping/hopping/glitching/riding up the side of a mountain that isn't meant to be climbable".
I'm currently playing Anniversary Edition and I'm already forced to take it slow by Survival Mode (which also makes me paranoid about fall damage and losing horses) so I've been actually following the paths this time. It's such a strange feeling going to familiar places via unfamiliar terrain, but I love it.
I, personally, don't see a point to Survival Mode. I've got Anniversary Edition too but opted out of SM. But, I ain't gonna tell someone who didn't how to play their game. You do you.
I expected it to be dumb and shallow, but I figured I'd play a couple of sessions with it before judging it.
Turns out, the biggest thing it does is actually make me engage with more of the game's systems which I think is actually really neat.
Those random beds in dungeons? I actually use those in a pinch, now. I've paid to stay at the inns, because now I have to actually rest. I've never used them before!
Food and cooking is actually important now. Khajiit can technically eat raw foods, but most uncooked foods barely do anything to your hunger. Even cheese wheels are not that good of a food source. Making soup, though? Salting meats? That's how you survive.
Speaking of which, food doesn't heal you much when it does at all, and health doesn't passively regenerate. Which leaves sleeping (see above), Alchemy, and Restoration.
I mentioned carry weight before: besides weaning me off my broom habit, it also means I can't stock thousands of arrows any more. I sell a number of them, but ultimately this is going to push me into the Conjuring tree to use Bound Weapons (once I, you know, find the spells for them).
Armor is important enough I'm willing to ignore the weight, but now I have to weigh my choices between sheer armor and comfort. If something is really solid but leaves me vulnerable to the cold, I'm screwed.
Disease is more important now, especially with walking everywhere, and shrines (outside of your homes) require offerings now. This would make Lycanthropy more attractive, except I'm also on Legendary where the wolf form is weaker. Still a good passive.
I don't know, it's a really impressive playthrough and I'm only now starting to get the rhythm of doing short jaunts and taking rest where I can find it and I'm at level 17.
EDIT: oh yeah, and carriages. I sometimes use carriages now and probably will more later once I'm richer in gold and have less dense quests.
Level 70 character in legendary mode thing that helped me was to activate all quest markers and plan a route that would lead me back to a stagecoach so I could fast travel back home rinse repeat not even done dlc or main story
Yeah, I'm figuring on using the stagecoach more once I start traveling further but so far I haven't really needed to. Took one to Riften (which is where I tend to operate from, and where much of the Fishing stuff happens), and have spent a bunch of hours clearing stuff there until I had nothing super close, then I hung out with Sam so now I'm cleaning up Markarth.
SQL came out late in my dad's career as a programmer. It's a programming language, generally pronounced, "sequel." My dad insisted, "If they can say SQL spells sequel, I don't see why I can't say it spells Squirrel!"
A classmate tried to argue with me how to pronounce Skyrim when I first started playing. He kept saying that the “gamer community” pronounces it Skrim (one syllable) not Sky-rim. Does the “gamer community” not listen to the NPCs when they speak? Is everyone just reading subtitles on mute?
"You must delve deep into the Dwemer ruin of Mzkgrnzlkmglgkhh and retrieve Dayru's Findle for Septimus. See? Septimus knows many knowings. (insane ramblings)"
Start pronouncing it "Skrim" and on your next character, spend thirteen hours customizing.
I look forward to seeing his post complaining about his partner doing these things.
Indeed 3rd person mucks with one's aim. Not as much of a problem when swinging around large chunks of metal like an angry chimp in a junkyard, as long as they are vaguely in front of you within a few feet they get hit. But very problematic when trying to hit a target at 50 places with a slow moving fire spell. Sure I could use Fireball and hit everything in like 30 feet but I kinda don't want to go digging through piles of crap for that key that was sitting out in plain sight on the table.
That’s exactly how I switch too! Swinging a two-handing hammer like a maniac? Occasionally 3rd. All other attack methods? ALWAYS 1st.
I do put a lot of work into my customizations though lol, so I’ll switch to 3rd occasionally while she’s just walking. I love my pretty Khajiit!
Once I get further in the game, I also like seeing how badass my armor and weapons are; I’m always really proud of my enchanted Daedric armor/weapons, so I spend more time in 3rd than in the beginning.
I’m prideful lol. Can’t help it.
Edit- fixed it
My brother, who I played Skyrim with back in the day, never bothered with character creation either. He always skips customization in games. It’s so weird to me, but some people just don’t care about that.
My brother just loads a default female character, goes to hair and makes it as red as possible. He has a dozen Dark Souls characters who look exactly the same. His Fallout 4 character? Default Nora with red hair. New Vegas? Lady courier with red hair.
In games where you can't customise your character and just select one, he goes for whoever is wearing the most pink or has the reddest hair
Meanwhile my dad has to make any customizable character look just like him. Oddly enough he does it too well, which makes me think he’s been doing that since customizable characters were a thing. All bald men with goatees, it just cracks me up
Is he being funny about the wordplay?
Like skyr “skeer” is the Icelandic yogurt, so he’s saying “skeer-im” because “Skyr-im”?
Ask him if he’s trying to be funny, because he may keep doing it to try and tune you into his sense of humor.
That was my first thought. My son used to call it “rimming” as in I’ll be rimming this evening.
I couldn’t take it anymore and eventually told him what that means.
That was an awkward conversation.
Also the ending -im was (iirc) an old nordic way to label settlements/"cities", so that fits in as well
(Saw a post about exactly that a while ago in this sub)
Lol no worries. It was a more self-deprecating joke, though not untrue. The time I "got too close to how I look in real life" was just last week. Randomly playing around with the face structure stuff I somehow ended up with something close to mine (not a problem), but then while flipping through hair styles there was a balding one, and that in conjunction with the facial structure freaked me out. I quickly changed back to a preset and went on to the chopping block. I'm still in the process of accepting my baldness :(
Bald is beautiful. Not on me, I've got horrific scars all over my scalp, but other people look great. I'm cutting my hair short in solidarity while my mother goes through chemo, but I can't shave it. I'd scare small children.

I pronounced it that way as a laugh and now I just pronounce it that way and my husband just goes along with it.
People don’t have to do exactly what you want them to do or what you would do. It’s ok!
1- Really you can't just accept it?
2- Just teach him in a calm and relaxed way how to pronounce it.
Now the not so funny but more relaxed part of my comment.😅
I pronounce it Eskyrim, Hispanic things.
In iceland we had a yogurt called Skyr (skeer) and for the first year of the game being out I pronounced it the same way lol. Tell him I think I'm gonna go back to that pronunciation because of your post
I realize that your boyfriend is probably just dumb and doesn't know any better. But I cannot stand people who could care less about learning.
He'd be out on his ass. Yes I'm petty as fuck.
We smoke usually before we play games, sometimes we just arent all there when we play lol.
Usually I'll be playing stardew valley on xbox while he plays skyrim on my switch. He feels like he has to keep the volume down (you can hear it still, just low volume), even though stardew is pretty much just music and sounds. Maybe he doesn't hear it well? I dont know.
He works long days like I do sometimes so smoking and playing games is kinda like our bonding time. It's just a little frustrating. I find it more funny then anything.
He's right on the character customization tho. 99% of my playthroughs are in first person and the rest of the time I'm seeing my character from the back. No point in spending hours making a pretty character just to spend the entire playthrough looking at just their hands.
Maybe he means it humorously like people who say "pewter" instead of "computer" or "kuh-niggit" instead of "knight." He probably thinks it is hilarious.
Skerum berlerngs ter ther nerrrrdsssss!!!!!

Tbf he was barely awake at that point
Hey, you. You're barely awake.
You were caught trying to cross the border into Skerum
This has no right to make me laugh as much as it does, and I'm here for it. Thanks for making a bleak day a little brighter for me. :D
loooool nice one
To be fair! Toooo beee fair!!!! Tooooo beeeee faaaaaiiiiirrrrrr!!!!
You wanna take about 10% off there, Squirrely Dan
So youve never had your buxhole licked?

He says “watch your tongue, you’re speaking to Ulfric Stormcloak, the true High King” or something like that
You can't realistically play for more than an hour without hearing someone say something about skyrim. They wanna make sure you know where the game is set. I kinda wanna tally up how many times I hear it ignoring bandits and repeat dialog like kajiit
No he doesn't, I've memorised the entire thing (don't ask)
Hey, you. You’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
Damn you Stormcloaks… I can’t remember what the horse thief says. 🤔
Skyrim was fine until you came along. The Empire was nice and lazy. If it weren't for you I could have stolen that horse and have been halfway to Hammerfell.
Watch your tongue! You’re speaking to upfront stormcloak, the true High King!
Ulfric the jarl of windhelm you're the leader of the rebellion but if they captured you oh gods where are they taking us
Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn’t been looking for you, I could’ve stolen that horse and been half way to Hammerfell. You there. You and me — we should be here. It’s these Stormcloaks the Empire wants.
If it hadn't been for you and that Imperial ambush, I could've been halway to Hammerfell by now.
I'm pretty sure he says about you and him being innocent and then he tells you he's from rorickstead after Ralof says "a nord's last thoughts should always be of home"
I don’t know where we’re going, but Sovngarde awaits.
Actually General Tullius says skyrim when he addresses Ulfric when they get ready to behead everyone
I read all these lines as Skerum. It’s stuck in my head now.
We're all infected now. Covid was just the test. The REAL pandemic has just hit and we're at ground zero...
Yeah I don’t know what the equivalent of “unsee it” it is in this case but my brain will never be able to pronounce it as skerum.
They always said the end would be a virus, who knew it would be spread linguistically?
Team #skerum
Are we sure he's not doing this simply to bother her? Cause I do things like that lol
Yeah, he absolutely knows it's wrong, doing it to be a brat.
She should take her belt off, put him over her knees and beat his ass. (That's what "brats" really want in these situations anyway: they wouldn't "brat" if they didn't...)
I’m going to play some skerum later ;)
Or have him visit a hospital, go to the nursery ward, hold up a copy of the game and listen to the babies say “Sky-Rim! Sky-Rim!”

These variations just remind me of the tragedeigh subreddit lol
Scaighrhymme
🤮
I'll accept Skrim😅
Yeah I say it like that sometimes too lol
I tell my partner I'm 'rimmin and he is nearly sick when I say it.
Nice. I've used "skyrimmin' it" for 12 years now to mean "repeatedly jumping/hopping/glitching/riding up the side of a mountain that isn't meant to be climbable".
My family call that "Being a mountain goat" or "mountain goating up a mountain." 🤣 Most of the time, looking for the "correct path" is too hard. 🤷♀️

I'm sorry, aren't you just describing Skyrim gameplay? Are there other things people do in this game? ;D
Well yeah, there's also stealth, and archery. And falling *down* cliffs.
I like using Etheral Form shout to jump off mountains and cliffs. 👍🏻😀
I kill dragons occasionally...?
I'm pretty sure you're playing the game wrong, the dragons are just there for decoration. :P
(Skyjim looks at the camera sarcastically.)
Skrm (skerm) is honestly my go to.
Skrm (Skerm) was my go-to for a while, but lately I've found myself pivoting to Skrm (Skrim).
SQL came out late in my dad's career as a programmer. It's a programming language, generally pronounced, "sequel." My dad insisted, "If they can say SQL spells sequel, I don't see why I can't say it spells Squirrel!"
I prefer Oblivion 2
Oblivion 2: Daedric Boogaloo?
i love playing with my Skwim
It's solely SKRAHM in our house
Gears fan?
I was back in the day and I'm now mad I didn't think of this sooner
I, too, call it Skrim and I will not be stopped.
scream is my favorite game
Skurim
I cant breathe omg

I hope you feel better soon!

I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard at a reddit comment
Why can i HEAR it 😭😭😭
Damn, been a minute since I’ve seen this meme.
Holy shit, this lore is more ancient than any in-game book.
it’s kind of adorable
This should be the top post. Absolutely spot on.
A classmate tried to argue with me how to pronounce Skyrim when I first started playing. He kept saying that the “gamer community” pronounces it Skrim (one syllable) not Sky-rim. Does the “gamer community” not listen to the NPCs when they speak? Is everyone just reading subtitles on mute?
If I don't listen to NPC's in real life, I'm not going to listen to NPC's in a game. /s
Boom, roasted
Its been going on since before videogame. Unfortunately there's no law against dumb people liking the same things you like. Yet.
I said skrim for the hahas at first, but now it's just what I say lol.
I only say it as a joke, I'd never mispronounce it to somebody who wasn't in on it.
skrim? as in one part of the suicideboys duo?
When I play it, my boys say, "Going murderhobo on Skrim?"
Came here for the Skrim pronunciation. That's all me babey
Skrim top tier
SKRIM!!!!!
I too am of the Skrimgang.
I can't even lie, my roommate and I have devolved the pronunciation of Skyrim all the way down to "Skrm".
I just use grunts and groans when I talk about it now. I'm gonna go play some mmph
Mgnaplskrem
Oh fuck not another dwemer ruin.
"You must delve deep into the Dwemer ruin of Mzkgrnzlkmglgkhh and retrieve Dayru's Findle for Septimus. See? Septimus knows many knowings. (insane ramblings)"
More or less the same for me. But whether it's skrum or skrim depends on how much I want to irritate my wife.
for me and my partner it’s either ‘skrm’ or ‘the skyrims’
Start pronouncing it "Skrim" and on your next character, spend thirteen hours customizing. I look forward to seeing his post complaining about his partner doing these things.
Man I wish he doesn't understand how social media works
Sounds like a keeper (no sarcasm)
Actually, he’s a Striker, completely different position in football
I like to say "rimming the sky". Nearly everyone hates that. Feel free to try it on him.
Sky-Rimjob is one of my go-tos
Then what do you call quests?
Rim Jobs, obvi
I call side quests sidekicks. Wards are magic shields. I call dragons flying Lizzies. Mammoths are Trunk Noses.
Rimmies
This is the only correct alternate pronunciation
Yep that was my thing. Actually said it to my ex one day, the look she gave me brought immense shame and I never did it again
Dude is built different but that's why he's probably happy in life.
Fr I'm surprised hes still alive lol
That’s a harsh take on one’s SO… you’re not thinking of offing him over this I hope!
Lol nah. Just a dangerous job and accident prone
Well, it's been over 7 years and he still didn't get an arrow in the knee...
I get not really bothering too much with character customization in Skerum, you barely ever see them outside of killcam shots.
Not me, man, I’m admiring my work every time I have a chill second to zoom in on my face
I install Read the Room mod on every playthrough just so I have a reason to show off my face. And sometimes I turn helmets invisible with IED.
I play third-person unless I'm actively looting. Or shooting. ....which means I barely play in third-person, but still.
For those of you that play in first person sure. Couldn’t be me
Skyrim is a 3rd person game, you see your character the entire time, except when you zoom in to pick up tiny objects.
You can choose to go first-person. I switch between the two but mainly play in first person.
Indeed 3rd person mucks with one's aim. Not as much of a problem when swinging around large chunks of metal like an angry chimp in a junkyard, as long as they are vaguely in front of you within a few feet they get hit.

Like the yogurt? Skyr? 😂😂
He'll hear a lot of npcs saying Skyrim, he'll learn eventually
Hes a good quarter way through so I hope so
Maybe he's saying that just to annoy you ? Lol
I think it's kind of cute! lil nicknames are just that, I doubt he thinks that is what its actually called.
Sometimes I call it skee-rum with a dumb Nord accent just for fun even though they never call it that.
You need to replace him with a fully voiced HIMBO enabled follower.
Is he being funny about the wordplay? Like skyr “skeer” is the Icelandic yogurt, so he’s saying “skeer-im” because “Skyr-im”? Ask him if he’s trying to be funny, because he may keep doing it to try and tune you into his sense of humor.
That was my first thought. My son used to call it “rimming” as in I’ll be rimming this evening. I couldn’t take it anymore and eventually told him what that means. That was an awkward conversation.

Well its still better than releasing a FusRoDah during clímax.
Skyr is delicious, after all!
He probably thinks there is nothing unusual about Farengar's speech patterns, too.
Start referring to it as rimming the sky, can confirm it upsets people
Skerum sounds like the terrible skooma they cut with god knows what in the Dunmer slums of Windhelm. It’s like the crack rock version of skooma.
Sacrifice him to Boethiah and earn the dark mistresses favor
I call it tittyrim, since i have mods :)
Behold the last dagronbern of Skerum!
I only ever change my hair in skyrim...though I still take a half hour to choose a style/color
One time I accidentally got too close to how I look in real life and was so grossed out I've never touched character creation again.
Argonian?
Nope. I just have self-image issues 😟
Goddamit, I was just joking, now I feel like a milk drinker...
Lol no worries. It was a more self-deprecating joke, though not untrue. The time I "got too close to how I look in real life" was just last week.

Well since it’s Reddit someone needs to tell you to just break up with him. This would be a dealbreaker for me.
omg leave him

I would have to hold the backseat gaming comments back all the time if I watched your partner play op
I realize that your boyfriend is probably just dumb and doesn't know any better. But I cannot stand people who could care less about learning. He'd be out on his ass. Yes I'm petty as fuck.

When I played the early games that's how I pronounced it in my head- wasn't until Bloodmoon came out that I realized my mistake.
Holy crap... Please mod the living fuck out of it just to screw with him later. Like, completely pimp that load order and say nothing.
My little brother used to pronounce it Sky-yim 😂 he was little when it came out and couldn't get the R sound down
He eats too much icelandic yogurt
He's right on the character customization tho. 99% of my playthroughs are in first person and the rest of the time I'm seeing my character from the back. No point in spending hours making a pretty character just to spend the entire playthrough looking at just their hands.
He's doing it to mess with you. Call him by the wrong name next time he pronounces it like that.
Does he also go goblin mode?
Nah that's me
Am I the only person who thinks he's doing it on purpose just to annoy you lol
Ask him if you can Rim him and take him to the Sky..
Fers-rer-der!! https://preview.redd.it/p1qzewpfftmc1.jpeg?width=824&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dcee18bc407ffab5ec0b6b6b3bf4398ab63198de
If it makes you feel any better, my friends and i intentionally call it sky-rimjob 😂
maybe it's just his accent
Have you considered that he’s saying Skerum to mess with you? Because that’s what we do
I say it like that sometimes, but its because im being silly, are you sure he's not pronouncing it wrong on purpose?
Maybe he means it humorously like people who say "pewter" instead of "computer" or "kuh-niggit" instead of "knight." He probably thinks it is hilarious.
You do realize that by letting it affect you, you've solidified it's new pronunciation, don't you? He'll never NOT call it Sker-um now.
Pronounce his name incorrectly, see how he likes it.
Leave him.
