I finally decided to install some mods so that I can just finish the game. I&rsquo;m using <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/12023">Cheaters Spell Scroll</a> 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&rsquo;m just saving myself <em>time</em>. It took a while to figure out how to make the mods work,<sup id="fnref:3"><a href="#fn:3" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">3</a></sup> mostly because the developer of the (good, but esoteric and inscrutable) mod manager has no publicly accessible documentation or help; it&rsquo;s all in a fucking Discord server.<sup id="fnref:4"><a href="#fn:4" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">4</a></sup></p> <p>Anyway, I&rsquo;m focusing not so much on exploring Baldur&rsquo;s Gate the city naturally and rather just mainlining toward my quest markers on the map. I believe I&rsquo;ve wrapped up Gale&rsquo;s quest as far as I can until much later in the game — why I chose to start with his, I&rsquo;m not sure. Proximity, I guess. I did however encounter a friend of Karlach&rsquo;s (with Karlach in the party), who asked if Karlach and I were an item. Karlach responded with <a href="https://youtu.be/vsPvlDl5ksg?si=9sZA_GX3z5ykGiXg&amp;t=16">something along the lines of &ldquo;gross.&rdquo;</a> Salt in the wound etc.</p> <h2 id="listening">Listening</h2> <p>I did a <em>lot</em> of podcast listening this week! Cleaning and organizing my classroom has been a good opportunity for it because it&rsquo;s mostly mindless labor. I&rsquo;ve been digging through Into the Aether&rsquo;s <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> episodes (<a href="https://pca.st/ryz2z5wd">Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep | Bonus</a> and <a href="https://pca.st/m4xgagit">I Norted Myself</a>) plus the <a href="https://pca.st/Kj2p">Song Exploder episode on &ldquo;Miasma Sky.&rdquo;</a></p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been listening to a lot of <a href="https://thebugclub.bandcamp.com/album/pure-particles"><em>Pure Particles</em> by The Bug Club</a>. It has some of my favorite songs of theirs (&ldquo;If My Mother Thinks I&rsquo;m Happy,&rdquo; &ldquo;Pure Particles,&rdquo; and &ldquo;A Love Song,&rdquo; primarily). I haven&rsquo;t been quite as enthused with their more recent releases — <em>Very Human Features</em> was good, and I didn&rsquo;t really care about <em>On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System</em><sup id="fnref:5"><a href="#fn:5" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">5</a></sup> — but <em>Pure Particles</em> through <em>Rare Birds</em> is such an incredible run of quality.</p> <p>As part of my mission to upgrade the low quality MP3s I have on my music server, I ordered and ripped a few CDs this week: Johnny Flynn&rsquo;s <em>A Larum</em>, Mirah&rsquo;s <em>C&rsquo;mon Miracle</em>, and Freelance Whales&rsquo;s <em>Weathervanes</em>. I was really only looking for <em>A Larum</em> specifically, but the seller on discogs had a shipping minimum. The others were on my list and the seller happened to have them available. It&rsquo;s a little funny — I was listening to these albums all at a specific point in my life (specifically <em>C&rsquo;mon Miracle</em> and <em>Weathervanes</em> when I was horrifically depressed in my late teens; Johnny Flynn was a bit earlier).</p> <p>That nostalgia (if you can call it that — is there a nostalgia that&rsquo;s for <em>bad</em> memories?<sup id="fnref:6"><a href="#fn:6" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">6</a></sup>) brought me back to <a href="https://aveytare.bandcamp.com/album/pullhair-rubeye"><em>Pullhair Rubeye</em> by Avey Tare &amp; Kría Brekkan</a>, an odd album that was released in reverse. The reversed version (so the normal one) of &ldquo;Lay Lay Off, Faselam&rdquo; is an all-timer for me; I was listening to it a lot in 2012. Releasing the album in reverse was, apparently, a controversial move, but I like it both ways — and I finally took the time to actually reverse it myself.<sup id="fnref:7"><a href="#fn:7" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">7</a></sup></p> <p>Then I listened to <a href="https://trustfund.bandcamp.com/album/dont-let-them-begin-ep"><em>Don&rsquo;t Let Them Begin</em> by Trust Fund</a> because I had &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll Both Apologize&rdquo; stuck in my head (🎶 <em>I&rsquo;m alone in the house and I&rsquo;m freaking myself out again, I&rsquo;m clapping my hands and spinning my arms around</em> 🎶).

I&rsquo;m using <a href="https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/12023">Cheaters Spell Scroll</a> 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&rsquo;m just saving myself <em>time</em>. It took a while to figure out how to make the mods work,<sup id="fnref:3"><a href="#fn:3" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">3</a></sup> mostly because the developer of the (good, but esoteric and inscrutable) mod manager has no publicly accessible documentation or help; it&rsquo;s all in a fucking Discord server.<sup id="fnref:4"><a href="#fn:4" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">4</a></sup></p> <p>Anyway, I&rsquo;m focusing not so much on exploring Baldur&rsquo;s Gate the city naturally and rather just mainlining toward my quest markers on the map. I believe I&rsquo;ve wrapped up Gale&rsquo;s quest as far as I can until much later in the game — why I chose to start with his, I&rsquo;m not sure. Proximity, I guess. I did however encounter a friend of Karlach&rsquo;s (with Karlach in the party), who asked if Karlach and I were an item. Karlach responded with <a href="https://youtu.be/vsPvlDl5ksg?si=9sZA_GX3z5ykGiXg&amp;t=16">something along the lines of &ldquo;gross.&rdquo;</a> Salt in the wound etc. I finished the Auntie Ethel plotline and picked up Minsc; I&rsquo;m starting to feel better about the game — things are much smoother when I&rsquo;m passing most every dice roll. 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&rsquo;s mainly a healer), there&rsquo;s still a challenge. I wouldn&rsquo;t say I&rsquo;m back to my Act I adulation, but I&rsquo;m at least feeling more motivated to finish.</p> <h2 id="listening">Listening</h2> <p>I did a <em>lot</em> of podcast listening this week! Cleaning and organizing my classroom has been a good opportunity for it because it&rsquo;s mostly mindless labor. I&rsquo;ve been digging through Into the Aether&rsquo;s <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> episodes (<a href="https://pca.st/ryz2z5wd">Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep | Bonus</a> and <a href="https://pca.st/m4xgagit">I Norted Myself</a>) plus the <a href="https://pca.st/Kj2p">Song Exploder episode on &ldquo;Miasma Sky.&rdquo;</a></p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been listening to a lot of <a href="https://thebugclub.bandcamp.com/album/pure-particles"><em>Pure Particles</em> by The Bug Club</a>. It has some of my favorite songs of theirs (&ldquo;If My Mother Thinks I&rsquo;m Happy,&rdquo; &ldquo;Pure Particles,&rdquo; and &ldquo;A Love Song,&rdquo; primarily). I haven&rsquo;t been quite as enthused with their more recent releases — <em>Very Human Features</em> was good, and I didn&rsquo;t really care about <em>On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System</em><sup id="fnref:5"><a href="#fn:5" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">5</a></sup> — but <em>Pure Particles</em> through <em>Rare Birds</em> is such an incredible run of quality.</p> <p>As part of my mission to upgrade the low quality MP3s I have on my music server, I ordered and ripped a few CDs this week: Johnny Flynn&rsquo;s <em>A Larum</em>, Mirah&rsquo;s <em>C&rsquo;mon Miracle</em>, and Freelance Whales&rsquo;s <em>Weathervanes</em>. I was really only looking for <em>A Larum</em> specifically, but the seller on discogs had a shipping minimum. The others were on my list and the seller happened to have them available. It&rsquo;s a little funny — I was listening to these albums all at a specific point in my life (specifically <em>C&rsquo;mon Miracle</em> and <em>Weathervanes</em> when I was horrifically depressed in my late teens; Johnny Flynn was a bit earlier).</p> <p>That nostalgia (if you can call it that — is there a nostalgia that&rsquo;s for <em>bad</em> memories?<sup id="fnref:6"><a href="#fn:6" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">6</a></sup>) brought me back to <a href="https://aveytare.bandcamp.com/album/pullhair-rubeye"><em>Pullhair Rubeye</em> by Avey Tare &amp; Kría Brekkan</a>, an odd album that was released in reverse. The reversed version (so the normal one) of &ldquo;Lay Lay Off, Faselam&rdquo; is an all-timer for me; I was listening to it a lot in 2012. Releasing the album in reverse was, apparently, a controversial move, but I like it both ways — and I finally took the time to actually reverse it myself.<sup id="fnref:7"><a href="#fn:7" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">7</a></sup></p> <p>Then I listened to <a href="https://trustfund.bandcamp.com/album/dont-let-them-begin-ep"><em>Don&rsquo;t Let Them Begin</em> by Trust Fund</a> because I had &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll Both Apologize&rdquo; stuck in my head (🎶 <em>I&rsquo;m alone in the house and I&rsquo;m freaking myself out again, I&rsquo;m clapping my hands and spinning my arms around</em> 🎶).

Watching

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 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,3 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.4

-

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.” Salt in the wound etc.

Karlach responded with something along the lines of “gross.” Salt in the wound etc. I finished the Auntie Ethel plotline and picked up Minsc; I’m starting to feel better about the game — things are much smoother when I’m passing most every dice roll. 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 and I Norted Myself) plus the Song Exploder episode on “Miasma Sky.”

I’ve been listening to a lot of Pure Particles by The Bug Club. It has some of my favorite songs of theirs (“If My Mother Thinks I’m Happy,” “Pure Particles,” and “A Love Song,” primarily). I haven’t been quite as enthused with their more recent releases — Very Human Features was good, and I didn’t really care about On the Intricate Inner Workings of the System5 — but Pure Particles through Rare Birds is such an incredible run of quality.
