I met the voices behind Duke Nukem and Sheogorath! I am very happy now. Or very mad. Or both! Cheese for everyone? Or bubble gum for everyone? Or both!
Was so awesome meeting such gaming legends at @retrogamecon.bsky.social.

I got the wonderfully kind @timdownie.bsky.social to sign a print of this for me @retrogamecon.bsky.social this weekend. He redid it for me when the first attempt messed up due to a paper defect repelling the marker :(
Gale means so very much to me & Tim did an incredible job bringing him to life.

Had an incredible weekend at @retrogamecon.bsky.social and everyone I met was so cool and friendly 🥰
Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the meetup!
It was an absolute delight talking to everyone, meeting some faces I've only ever seen on the internet, and getting in touch with some new cool people!

I'm just reeling after an amazing weekend at @retrogamecon.bsky.social 🫶🏻🌟 I debuted my first ever hand-crafted #cosplay, met the actor of a character I've really loved and connected with (yay Tim Downie!!), and met some fabulous people.
Let's do it again soon! (Perhaps even next year? 😁) #BG3

’Twas the night before RetroGameCon, and all through the hall,
Gamers were buzzing, each fan big and small.
Controllers were charged, the cosplayers prepared,
And RetroBoy waited, his circuits all flared! 🤖
