So, I decided I wanted to check out this modpack that had looked interesting, so I go and download the curseforge app (cause modpacks are kind of a pain to launch without a launcher... as in I'm not sure how you even do it)

Dear god, which a fucking monster. They've got fucking ads running all over the fucking place

Instadeleted it, you do no get to serve me ads under any circumstances, if you do fuck you, I'm not using you. You're not a website, you're an app, and if you're pounding me with ads regardless of what I'm doing, then I don't think you're secure (and even if you are fuck you)

So I've had to track down an alternative one called uh... GDLauncher. Can't say for sure, but so far seems much much better... seems like an opensource launcher that's just a launcher and that's it

Not that any of you play modpacks so not that this matters, but that curseforge shit was just so bad I had to complain

#also I'm having opinions at this point about having to sign in to a 3rd party launcher in order to run minecraft with it #it's striking me just how much minecraft is kind of... the ultimate drm game and we've just kind of put up with it cause it's good #you know how I got into minecraft?#piracy; pirated a copy of it right when the nether had first been released and decided it was worth being able to play with other people #do no like the fact that you can't do single player minecraft without signing in #in it's defense; you can do offline stuff so long as you're signed in #but uh... part of me wants to pirate shit just from a moral standpoint with it; literally only not doing it cause it's easier tojust sign i #rather than figuring out how to make it work #and also once again; I get it; the launcher is free and anyone can get it; so in order to gate access and make sure they're paid #they need a different gate #but uh... yeah... I guess this is my real point #I don't actually own minecraft #I own all my world files; I have direct access to them #but I don't own a copy of minecraft #and say what you want about pirated stuff; but you do own it #because all the files are contained on my computer; in digital terms that's ownership #true digital ownership is when it runs in a black box setting; no input; no output; just what's on the machine it's on #and when you can put in a hard drive; copy it; and plug that hardrive into something else to have a full copy of it #so minecraft is pissing me off a little cause I don't own it and that always annoys me with anything digital #big believer in digital ownership

was playing around with flycam and discovered that tav doesn't spawn during the first shot of his act 3 romance scene, and thought it was a nice visual given how he tells you in that same scene he use to create this for himself, so i thought i'd take wallpaper-styled shots for you guys to use as wallpapers/icons if you wanted

4K versions here :)

unmodded version as per requests:

#if it needs saying anything in that folder is allowed to be used as such. just don't repost without tagging/mentioning me #there's also a few other shots with slightly different sizes/depths #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #kind of obsessed with his hair in the first shot and how it's dark/faded colours of blue and purple with the gold shine just oouguugghhh

Part 2 of 2

Thanks for tossing me the ball on this one Larian I am now running with it at mach speeds.

[[ All Croissant Adventures (chronological, desktop) ]]

[[ All Croissant Adventures (app) ]]

#- rubbing my hands together - welcome to the tags #Obviously the game was prioritizing Gale in this interaction bc it's his story and that's who Larian wrote #BUT NOT ME BAYBEEEE THIS IS CROISSANT'S TIME TO SHINE and be an excellent foil to his character #I DUNNO I just really liked playing a character who also has a buckwild amount of insecurities about this relationship -#- but in a very different flavor. I've loved keeping that in mind as the romance plot plays out.#As much as I appreciate the constant validation you give Gale from in-game dialogue bc he needs that-#-I also like holding up Croissant like a mirror to get him out of his own head.#AGAIN THIS CHARACTER WAS WRITTEN JUST FOR ME NGJKFLNDKH I love this game #Anyway now we get to grapple with Gale talking to Mystra :''''''')#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #act III spoilers #gale romance spoilers #croissant adventures #tav #gale #gale dekarios #gale x tav #breadweave #comics #I think this 6-pager was the first time I felt like I had a handle on drawing Gale btw that man is an artistic enigma #ADDITIONAL EDIT: thank you so much for your responses on part 1 you are all wonderful folks - esp the ones mad that I made this 2 parts LOL

BG3 has taken over my personal life haha so here's a sketch dump of my Tav! She's a half-elf Rogue with a Sage background. I wanted to go for an archeologist/explorer background - like a mix of Evelyn and Rick from The Mummy :)! I stole lots of paintings and it always made me laugh the animation of Tav stuffing a huge painting into her inventory so I had to do a comic of her actually trying to sneak one out haha

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #gale dekarios #gale x tav #astarion ancunin #bg3 astarion #bg3 gale #bg3 raphael #her name is Layla :) it was fun to come up with a background for her but basically she's studying Netheril and netherese artifacts!#I don't know a lot about Baldur's Gate or DnD but I had a lot of fun! And want to know more!#And it's been fun trying to figure out how to draw the characters!#and i love a wizard especially a dorky one XD #I already started another game with a different character haha but I have a soft place in my heart for Layla and the story I made for her :#my art #my fanart #digital art #i haven't posted in ages but I have been drawing! I just need to get back into posting more regularly!

The fact that there is no dialogue with Karlach where Tav can suggest that she and Dammon maybe get to know each other a little better is tragic to me.

I want to set up my friend with the sweet tiefling blacksmith. LET ME SET THEM UP.

#BG3 #Baldur's Gate 3 #Karlach Cliffgate #Dammon #Karlach x Dammon #We've got a whole conversation about 'anyone in mind' for the kissing thing #but no way to suggest anyone #Wyll can absolutely join them #But he's got to sort out some daddy issues first #I also want to be able to suggest that Shadowheart and Lae'zel should get a room with only one bed #and sort out their differences the traditional fanfic way #But alas I cannot #Don't want to set Astarion up with anyone #I think he needs to work out who he is after 200 years of being a puppet before he jumps into a relationship #but if he wants to regain his bodily autonomy through life-affirming sex - he and Halsin could totally do that #And obviously Operation: Woo Wizard Get Library means that Gale is spoken for #I will have that library #Though if I weren't set on the library I'd definitely be on the 'Gale needs time before he throws himself into another relationship' train #Man needs to stop basing decisions on his partner's approval and learn to define himself outside of a relationship #He is Kenough #That is too many tags #Sorry #Qd
