  1. Hey, everyone! I'm going live in a few minutes to play Baldur's Gate 3 because Zombie and Dylan will join us. Dakota can't join us because he has a busy week. For now, we're waiting for Dylan to join us, so I'm playing my bard while we wait.

  9. This is it, we've done just about everything worthy of our attention span, and it's been like, 6 months or something since we began on this journey of our, time to end this.

    Today we march onto the upper city, combat the Eldritch horrors beyond comprehension, and defeat the cosmic entities corrupting our reality. Today we save Faerûn!

  10. Gods, between the arrogant devil trying to manipulate me into giving him the device to serve his own selfish bullshit, and Raphael, I'm having a real tough time trusting people in this city...

    Alright Gortash, let's talk. Karlach, stick close in case things go sideways, it's a good thing these fists can't be confiscated...

    Don't worry, Raphy baby, you're next on my todo list...

  11. Time for another playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3. I played as Gale the first time, so now I’m going to moonlight as everyone’s favorite vampire. #Astarion #BaldursGate #Gaming

  12. It's the first day back at work after the Christmas break and for this evening I'm already thinking about which game to play of the several that I (re)started while I was on leave.

    Option 1 - continue my latest Baldur's Gate run (BG1, not this fancy BG3 business) that I'm enjoying. Playing as a semi-evil Blade this time!
    Option 2 - I picked up F1 Manager 2024 on sale for the Switch and I'm working my way through the season as a backmarker, which is way more fun than picking Red Bull and steamrolling my way to the podium every race. It's a shame that the Switch port seems to run a bit sluggish.
    Option 3 - overcome my "ranked anxiety" and play an online game of Age of Empires 2 for the first time in a year or two, and not care too much about winning or losing.

  13. @MollyNoise that's a great point, I've been playing video games since #HammurabisCode in say 1977 and fleshing out the main character in terms of family has never been a focus. "The Player" in #SidMeiersPirates rescues his family members but they only generate information and change the ending, anonymous Avatar in #UltimaUnderworld, orphaned child of a wizard in #BaldursGate , Duke in #DukeNukem who may also be an avatar of violence.

    A damn good point that!

  14. Hallo! I’m trying to get a bit more social interaction in my life, so here I am writing an #introduction post on #Mastodon. :moogle_peek:​

    I’m Jaden (though I go by different names in different circles :bulbasaur_confused:​). I have a silly potato (@nuz) and a silly sausage (#sillyDoggy). I’m fairly socially awkward, a bit #autistic and very #ADHD. :ms_neurodiversity:​​ Sometimes I say very little and sometimes I say a whole heck of a lot, depending on the topic. I’ll probably be posting random facts or videos that I find particularly cool/amusing~ :cat_wow:​

    I love science (and have a PhD in #physics, but was it really worth it? :frog_think:​) and maker videos that try to bring comic books and fiction to life (shoutout to #Hacksmith and #JLazerVideos, amazing folks)! I also really love technology (in particular, I really like #LTT / #LinusTechTips, although I know he can be a bit problematic :shiba_hide:​).

    I'm also an avid video gamer! :gaming_love:​​ I play a lot of #RPG, #Survival, and #Automation games. Some of the ones that I've really enjoyed and/or played recently are:

    :robot_headpats:​​ #Satisfactory (love Coffee Stain​ Studios!) / #DysonSphereProgram / #Factorio
    :ms_eastern_dragon:​ #Nioh2 / #EldenRing / #WoLongFallenDynasty
    :ms_scene_milky_way:​ #JediFallenOrder / #JediSurvivor (if only it wasn't so laggy :dva_rage:​)
    :ms_scene_sunrise:​ #HorizonZeroDawn / #HorizonForbiddenWest / #BotW / #TotK
    :ms_globe:​​ #MassEffect / #ScarletNexus / #TalesOfArise / #GodOfWar
    :ms_crossed_flags:​ #Overwatch / #Overwatch2 / #StarWarsTheOldRepublic / #SWTOR
    :ms_dice_12:​​​ #DivinityOriginalSin2 / #MidnightSuns / #BaldursGate

    Feel free to say hello, boost, follow, or any combo of the above! I'd love to make new friends on here, but I feel awkward a lot, so I might just end up favoriting your posts if I can't figure out what to say :panda_derp: (but I appreciate you nonetheless! :blob_heart:​)

  18. I've put the Baldur's Gate #aquarelle under the #scanner last night; I think I actually like the results from photographing it with my phone better. The #Canon #MG2550S makes it look rather pale, and some of the brush strokes seem to stand out more?
    It can probably be improved quite a bit in post-processing, but I was hoping for better results straight out of the box.
    (I also need to do manual cropping, as it doesn't recognise the borders well enough...)

    Fellow #artists, any recommendations when scanning or otherwise #digitising your work?

  19. CW: long (close to 3000 chars) follow-up post going into detail on the water color papers used.

    The A5 "Anna & Clara's Watercolour Paper" pad of 20 x 200 grams + 10 x 300 grams I bought for 34.90 NOK (or 3.20 EUR) from #SøstreneGrene is not great imho... I think it's probably more aimed at gouache than aquarelle...
    I find it too smooth, and water mostly just pools up too much on top of it... The field of flowers was painted on the 200 grams paper, but as the (lack of) texture is the same on the 300 grams sheets, I doubt those will be much better. Though I bet the latter will at least buckle and warp less.

    The A5 "Anna & Clara's Watercolour Paper Acid-Free" pad with 10 x 230 grams white sheets + 10 x 230 grams black sheets onto which I painted the bottom-left #BaldursGate scene is more like the similar paper I got and used previously from Søstrene Grene (which I used for the top-left Baldur's Gate scene).
    It has quite some more texture, and —most importantly— it absorbs the water and paints better. I suspect it's actually the same paper, but now the pads have half their sheets replaced with black sheets.

    I kinda wish they'd put the original pads back into their assortment instead, as the black sheets are more useful for metallic water colour paints, which I currently don't have. I guess I could play around with mixing the white gouache with my aquarelle paints, and use that on the black sheets?
    At 23.30 NOK (or 1.98 EUR) for 20 sheets, it's cheap aquarelle paper that works quite well for my practice sessions, but with half of the sheets being basically unusable for me, it's not as affordable as the pads they previously sold...

    I still want to add some more foliage to the first Baldur's Gate painting (top-left), but I wanted to wait for daytime sunlight before working on it again, so instead I started a new one without looking at the example.
    (And I'll probably want to scan the first one before working on it again, in case I ruin it...)

    The cute little ghost on A6 paper is the main character from #MrGhost aka #Yuureikun for the #MSX, which I painted two days ago. Painted with just the #PrussianBlue and the #OpaqueWhite from the #RoyalTalens' #VanGogh series. I was tempted to add the light-green background to it that one of the example screenshots had, but ended up just sticking to the monochrome version you see here.
    This paper is a fine-grained cold pressed cotton rag postcard paper from #Fabriano, which I got many years ago as a kid, but never really used till recently. I always found the paper too precious, and considered my skills lacking too much to make proper use of it. It's only recently that I've felt comfortable using it.

    I'll take proper pictures of them by daylight tomorrow, and will maybe add some more detailed image descriptions then as well.
