I’d love a “Ghosts of Tamriel” game, set far beyond the time of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. It would be set in a steampunk era in the same world, where magic is still a thing, potions are more chemistry than herbalism, and you have the steampunk tech to work with. The different lands of Tamriel could be traveled among freely, each one with a slightly different steampunk theme… One western, one urban, one agrarian/rural/wild.

I miss my old Pentax ME Supers

Seeing things like this makes me wish there was a digital “film” canister that had a battery and MicroSD card and a full frame image sensor board that plus into it. You would be able to load it in any old SLR body and shoot digital full manual as film.

So is this basically just another DAM system (but marketed more to end users/self-hosters?

There are FOSS DAM systems.
