And now for something completely different: I FINALLY got around to playing Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One by Frogwares (after purchasing it when it came out and just sitting on my PS5) and I'm mad I deprived myself of twink Sherlock for so long. Anyway, I loved it (potential spoilers incoming) +

I'm all for being covered in bees but can the swarm at least disperse during the evening in camp? How's an elf supposed to get any action? #bg3 #bg3patch8 #BaldursGate3

Scene from Baldur's Gate 3. Player character, an elf with green and black hair, is standing with his hand on his hip and smiling a bit deviantly while surrounded by a swarm of bees. Astarion is flinching away from the player character and looks terrified. Gale is in the background in a defensive position and grimacing. Shadowheart is watching with her arms crossed over her chest and looking amused.

Night time camp scene from Baldur's Gate 3. Player character is standing in front of Astarion's tent looking over his shoulder and making a kissy face at Astarion. Player character is surrounded by a swarm of bees. Astarion is standing nearby with his arms crosses over his chest and looking annoyed.

Me reading through the news every morning.

Meme of Astarion from the video game Baldur's Gate 3 making an affronted face with the words "Bitch, what the fuck?" at the bottom and "Astarion disapproves" in the upper left corner.

Invictus. Because.

Shows the poem titled Invictus by William Ernest Henley.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods that may be
for my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

And even biological sex isn't so cut and dry. Just ask the approx 6 million intersex individuals that live in the U.S. who seem to have been forgotten in these efforts to set a binary that doesn't exist. Hells, if you ask someone with science knowledge about sex you'll get an answer like this so...

Tumblr post that says "I just saw a transphobic post that was like, 'In a sexual species, females have 2 X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y, I'm not a bigot it's just science.' I'm a science teacher so I commented this: First of all in a sexual species you can have females be XX and males be X (insects), you can have females be ZW and males be ZZ (birds), you can have females be females because they developed in a warm environment and males be males because they developed in a cool environment (reptiles), you can have females be females because they lost a penis sword fighting contest (some flatworms), you can have males be males because they were born female but changed sexes because the only male in their group died (parrotfish and clownfish), you can have males look and act like females because they are trying to get close enough to actual females to mate with them (cuttlefish, bluegills, others), or you can be one of thousands of sexes (slime mold, some mushrooms.) Oh, did you mean humans? Oh ok then. You can be male because you were born female, but you have 5-alphareductase deficiency and so you grew a penis at age 12. You can be female because you have an X and a Y chromosome but you are insensitive to androgens and so you have a female body. You can be female because you have an X and a Y chromosome but your Y is missing the SRY gene and so you have a female body. You can be male because you have two X chromosomes but one of your X's HAS an SRY gene and so you have a male body. You can be male because you have two X chromosomes - but also a Y. You can be female because you have only one X chromosome at all. And you can be male because you have two X chromosomes but your heart and brain are male. And vice - effing - versa. Don't use science to justify your bigotry. The world is way too weird for that shit."

Tech dudebro responsible for creating massive, shit-spewing monster now wants it to spew less shit.

Welp. It's time for this.

Bottle of Sailor Jerry's rum, half full, and an empty glass. To be clear, I have not already consumed half a bottle rum this evening. This will be my first and probably only drink as I am a lightweight.

Love when I accidentally catch a 4th wall break. #BG3 #BaldursGate3 #Tav

Bladur's Gate 3 player created character. 3/4 view of a handsome elf with black hair and white highlights and lavender coloured eyes looking directly at the camera. His head is slightly tilted down which makes him look a bit like he's pouting but he just has resting bitch face. LOL Also, he probably IS pouting a little. I mean, he just had a parasite dig its way into his skull through his eye socket and now the ship he's on is being attacked by dragons while careening uncontrollably through the Hells. And he has a raging headache. You'd pout too. This descriptive text has gotten away from me...

I decided to make my Dream Guardian look like how I picture Astarion before he was turned. I think his hair would obviously be wavier but I couldn't find a combo I liked on him so I stuck with this. I think he's pretty. #BG3 #Astarion #DreamGuardian #BaldursGate3

3/4 view of Dream Guardian's face from Baldur's Gate 3 made to look like Astarion. Silver hair with the top half pulled back into a half bun and the bottom half hanging loose over his shoulders. Green eyes, like peridots.

Stop making the pixels so damn pretty then

Text reads: "My friends: Get a grip, they're just a bunch of pixels! The pixels: "
And below is a picture of Astarion from Baldur's Gate 3

So got the Origin Mirror mod and went in to play with Astarion's makeup and piercings and his armour was giving off a glow that was annoying while I was trying to tweek his hair. So I removed his armour, went back in and the mirror went all Ken doll on him? 😂 I should have just shown camp clothes.
