## Playing
I played some more of *Baldur's Gate 3*. I finally decided to install some mods so that I can just finish the game. I'm using [Cheaters Spell Scroll](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/12023) to basically pass all of my dice checks and then something to increase my carry capacity. Nothing game-breaking necessarily since I was already save-scumming every roll — instead, hopefully, I'm just saving myself *time*. It took a while to figure out how to make the mods work,[^6] mostly because the developer of the (good, but esoteric and inscrutable) mod manager has no publicly accessible documentation or help; it's all in a fucking Discord server.[^7]
Anyway, I'm focusing not so much on exploring Baldur's Gate the city naturally and rather just mainlining toward my quest markers on the map. I believe I've wrapped up Gale's quest as far as I can until much later in the game — why I chose to start with his, I'm not sure. Proximity, I guess. I did however encounter a friend of Karlach's (with Karlach in the party), who asked if Karlach and I were an item. Karlach responded with [something along the lines of "gross."](https://youtu.be/vsPvlDl5ksg?si=9sZA_GX3z5ykGiXg&t=16) Salt in the wound etc.

Importantly, this is only on my character, so while she has a bit of an advantage on attacks in battle (nothing crazy though because she's mainly a healer), there's still a challenge. I wouldn't say I'm back to my Act I adulation, but I'm at least feeling more motivated to finish.
## Listening
I did a *lot* of podcast listening this week! Cleaning and organizing my classroom has been a good opportunity for it because it's mostly mindless labor. I've been digging through Into the Aether's *Kingdom Hearts* episodes ([Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep | Bonus](https://pca.st/ryz2z5wd) and [I Norted Myself](https://pca.st/m4xgagit)) plus the [Song Exploder episode on "Miasma Sky."](https://pca.st/Kj2p)
