Ok, here’s a long post. I think the #BAFTAGamesAwards are barely even over yet but congratulations to every single nominee but also especially congratulations to these badasses who managed to change my life with a single video game…Baldur’s Gate III:

As many of you know, Baldur’s Gate III has had a steel(watch) grip on my entire being for months now. It and the team behind it deserve every single nomination and award they are given. It’s unlike any game I’ve ever played, and Skyrim has had my heart for over a decade. It’s inspired me to create videos, have my first try at voice acting, create cosplays (one of which is my biggest ever that’s not even close to being finished), drawings, learn skills I’ve never tried, and literally even got me to the gym to become strong like my tav, Kaerys. My friends and significant other can begrudgingly tell you about my obsession for the love story between my tav and Astarion (who in the character itself has helped me make further strides in my mental health journey and recovery AND has me dealing with one hell of a fictional character crush…so thanks @neilnewbon, a true talent and seems like a genuinely good guy with also the most killer fashion). And dear gods it doesn’t seem over by a long shot, so good luck to us all!
And good luck to me in case I ever speak to any of you as I pour my dumbass heart out on the internet to strangers.
Also thanks for the super fun mental health relapse that’s lasted the longest it has in 6 years. I’ll be forwarding my therapy bills to you, Larian, thank you <3
But for real. CONGRATULATIONS! Here’s to 300+ more hours dedicating my creativity and to this inspiration of a game.
Photodump from one of the best nights I’ve had in so long
@crankgameplays thank you for having so many of us for an irl premiere. It was truly a night I'll never forget.
The documentary captured feelings I could never put into words as an artist. You, Justin, Austin, Zach, and the whole ass team made something truly incredible.
Anyway for anyone else, full vlog coming this weekend probably
