This is probably a long shot but please sign and share this open letter to the Swedish government! It would mean the world because it is highly likely that this law bill will pass.

Sweden wants to criminalise porn, basically. Buying online sexual services such as videos, cam etc. from creators will be illegal. Selling content will not be illegal, keeping in line with the “Swedish model” already in place for full service sex work (offline sex work, so to say).

Onlyfans and the likes would very likely be banned in Sweden and a lot of sex workers will lose their source of income. There are several complications if this law comes into place. For example, it may force sex workers into full service sex work or other forms of (sex) work they don’t actually want to do or normally would not do, because it’s their source of income. Selling sex is legal, more or less, but it is illegal to buy which makes it a risky business in Sweden as clients’ discretion is paramount and they can be very demanding for this reason (they are very afraid to get caught by police), but it is less easy for law enforcement to control full service sex work. However, it still makes it very difficult for sex workers to work safely. Another complication is partners of sex workers, who could be accused and convicted of pimping if their partner sells online sexual services.

Sweden has only had ONE (1) trial of trafficking in the last THREE YEARS, meaning the law does not work as intended. But I digress. There are many, many issues with the Swedish model that can be discussed (for example, non-citizens of Sweden are deported if they are “caught”, even when they are trafficking victims, and they witness of terrible treatment by the police and authorities and the “help” organisation Talita), but for now, this campaign is very urgent as parliament votes in May.

It is a known fact that criminalising things such as sex work, abortion, and drugs never stops people from doing them, it just makes them more unsafe.

Please please please consider signing and sharing 🩷

Okay I got the gold back from her. It wasn’t in her inventory but it came back to me when we travelled back to act 1. She’s friendly with me though 😁

Patch 8 is here and bf and I are running a multiplayer. We’re not having companions (they’re in camp) except for when they have a quest. We’re now in the shadow-cursed lands and we saved Minthara one or two long rests ago.

I went to talk to her just now before closing the game and uh…

She was not happy to see me.

She crossed her arms and the narrator said something along the lines of “it seems this person doesn’t like you very much. Now might be a good time to offer a gift in good faith.”

A TRADER window opened where she was the vendor. I was in the red part of the vendor friendship bar. I gave her some things and 7.5k gold (yeah we’re rich). It made me go up to full friendship and all was good. We lost the money, though, but not the items.

I can talk to her now but I can’t see where I’m at with her approval. I only see my bf’s tav on her approval bar even though I have now talked enough to get a little approval with her.

It was so weird asdfghjkl. I won’t be able to get her approval up very much until after talking to her if we survive the Myrkul fight (I am scared we won’t make it with just our two-person party even though we’re killing it atm, but it’s honour mode) but she should be neutral with both of us atm. I just can’t see my Tav on her approval bar 🥺

I haven’t interacted with her since we literally saved her life and I let her find refuge at camp and then I talked to her and recruited her. So I’m not sure why she acted like a vendor who hates me.

This has never happened so I’m wondering if it’s a bug or…?

I’m super tired so sorry if it’s confusing.

How fucking SICK isn’t “What Could Have Been” by Sting and Ray Chen for the Arcane soundtrack?

I’ve listened to it about a hundred times in the past two weeks and it’s still giving me chills all over my goddamn body especially when I focus and picture The Scene

I am currently playing bg3 as a bard 8/rogue 4 but I’m trying to decide if I should change classes, either be a full out bard because at the moment it feels like I’m doing a gloomstalker assassin lite so I might as well change into a ranger.

I have done such a ranger already (first ever playthrough tho so I was new and barely understood what I was doing. Now I know the game much much better) and I didn’t plan to do this, I was just going to try bard for fun since I’m usually not that into full casters but bards are very versatile so this is what happened, kinda.

I have built around crit, ambushing etc. So I actually have the gear for a gloomstalker/assassin. But the point of all this was so play as a bard. I’m going to make a ranger for my next multiplayer run with my bf so I kinda don’t wanna respec this one. I’m deep into act 3 anyway.

Thing is, I wanna dip more into bard for the Magical Secrets but that means surrendering 2 levels of rogue, including the subclass.

I already have +2 dex from the mirror but if I want to focus on casting I should have improved my charisma. So idk.

I usually hover somewhere between midmaxing and just doing whatever the hell I think is fun. But I do love to maximise damage, which I think is why I went into the direction of doing damage instead of playing as the support (debuffing enemies and buffing allies)

So now I’m just kinda in a pickle.

I may try to respec tomorrow and just see how it feels. I want to try Banishing Smite but it’s a level V spell so I wouldn’t even get to use it very often anyway.

I could respec into lore bard to get the magical secrets at lvl 6 though. But again. This tav is geared around dex… although I suppose having high dex is good anyway since a smite is applied via a weapon attack and bards do attack using their dex. So perhaps this is the solution. I’ll lose the swords bard attacks but I can probably live with that

I’ll try tomorrow. I’m too tired now but had to let my thoughts out of my brain so I can sleep

Guys I’m running another playthrough again and today I had to reject Minthara

I’m romancing Karlach this time. Then Minthara be saying “I want you” and I’m like “hgammnuuuummnggg yes okay”

I didn’t even have big approval with her, it tipped into Good after I got Scratch back (I never gave him away, but the game seems to bug out with this particular part, because it always acts like he’s been away)

So I thought she’d be more than happy to be my friend and ally, but nah nah. She was disappointed I didn’t see her as a lover

Regardless, I cannot do that to Karlach

But man oh man I still don’t know how her charisma spills out as if she’s a real life person. Like. How is her persuasion check so close to working on ME, THE PLAYER?

Why is my wife so mean to me? And why does it turn me on?

[minthynights]

it makes me so insane that minthara is such a missable companion given she's The One with the info on orin. unless you play durge the info on her and her characterization is so thin on the ground. minthara is the one to tell you that at a dinner party courting powerful drow orin slit an entire table of throats and crawled across it to claim minthara from ketheric. minthara is the one who can tell you this woman is not just craAaAzy she is a ruin and there is no reasoning with her, there is just her also making you into a ruin. u meet minthara and she's a brutal, cruel, sensual, unyielding, vicious daggerslash of a woman and u REALLY meet her and you find out she's terrified of orin. like do u get me? am i making sense? so much of the background we get of orin from saarevok, her journals, gortash, etc, paints her as petulant, childish, and easily manipulated with "dangerous" almost as a footnote, ESPECIALLY if you play durge. it's from minthara and through her subjugation of minthara that we rly get her as an imposing figure akin to ketheric and gortash in power. and you rly can just skip minthara. nuts to me. anyway happy belated international womens day

At first, I kept missing and missing, and was hit to down to 2HP. But it was standing in an archway and I told everyone to aim for the arch to make it crumble and fall. It did, and the DM later on told me a little secret, that the falling rocks took half its HP which was like 130 or something. It got stunned which allowed me to move out of melee without expending an action. Our healer was out of spell slots, after all, and I only had 3 lay on hands points. So we kept trying to hit it, doing no more than 8 damage at a time because I, who had both spell slots and the extra smite left, kept missing and the others only had cantrips. Our sorcerer does mostly just fire damage, too, and the decayer is resistant to fire damage. So we did peanut sized damage to it for several turns. The healer did crit once, but it was still only 8 damage.

I couldn’t go back in melee because I only had 2HP left, but I did have javelins, so I threw one and this time, I managed to finally hit for like 11 damage or something. Wooh. I also threw another on my next turn and critted for 14 damage I think, so still not huge numbers but we’re getting there. Then it went into melee with me and downed me. Thankfully, our healer had one healing potion which he gave to me, and now I was thoroughly pissed with this pile of garbage. I roleplayed this, too, and swore to my goddess (Eilistraee) that I would serve her ardently if she aided me with this. I rolled to hit, and miraculously, I hit it! So I loaded it with a divine smite and dealt like… I don’t remember exactly, I think another 14 damage. I miraculously also didn’t get hit for its two next attacks, and when it was my turn again, I hit it again and this time, my smite and sword dealt a combined 23 damage. I got to explain how it died, so I said it started to basically bubble and boil from the radiant damage that burned it from the inside out before it imploded from the radiant heat.

The dice were so fucking embarrassing in the beginning omfg. And then, I can’t believe they decided to be on my side when I did the Very Very Angry Paladin thing. Yay! That could have fallen really flat if I had rolled too low again.

A bit later we got to level 3 and my vengeful journey has begun. We will roleplay how I get the oath, but I’m not sure when. I’m discussing it with the DM. I know what will motivate it, but we need to get it into a session.

Oh and that the arch thing worked 👀 I’m so happy!! I rarely get those kinds of ideas.

I also got an inspiration point!!!! For burying the remains of two children. My comrades didn’t wanna join so they didn’t get one heeehee. I’ve never gotten an inspiration point before. Weehooooo

So I’m in a D&D campaign that my SO is GM for and we’ve had three sessions so far. I made one of my Tavs to play and got a proper backstory for her. I just started writing and the ideas just kept coming to me. She’s a Seldarine drow paladin and my idea is that this is taking place before she is tadpoled.

Buuuut… she may not survive the next session…

And I’m honestly quite anxious. I don’t know when the others have time but I hope soon because I’m worrying to death.

We’re running a CoS and we’ve just disturbed Largoth the Decayer but we haven’t long rested. We nearly died in the room before this. I still have my smites because I spent the last fight paralysed and rolling fails to hit. But our fucking healer is out of juice. I only have 4 lay on hands points. And we haven’t levelled to level 3 yet. Sooooo… yeah… we’re probably gonna die. Especially if the dice decide to be fuckwads and I won’t get any hits. Like. Just let me hit and do maximum damage and we might make it. But probably not. Idk man. I think we need a miracle to survive. Luckily, my SO’s style of GMing is that he is not actively doing everything in his power to kill us, and he is also a big fan of thinking outside of the box and roleplaying, using stuff outside of the given actions. Like I could technically ask my goddess for help, and perhaps that would work. I have been thinking about swearing an oath in this manner, since I get to choose oath for level 3.

But idk man. I don’t know if we can survive this. And I’m scared 🥹

my beloved murder wife (who is definitely not about to step on me)

[minthynights]

Weeping over BG3. Why is this game so good. I've never been a huge gamer, as in I haven't played many games. Certainly never a game like BG3. I play like the sims and stardew valley, you know? And then my SO comes into my life and introduces BG3 for me and I have well over 700hrs in the game after only what? 3-4 months since I first played it? I have a bit over 800hrs in sdv and I've played that for YEARS

HELLO!?!?!??!?!?!?!
