I somehow got added at some point to a mailing list of "home hack" DIY stuff that sends lots of clickbaity articles about things to do to improve your house. I really should unsubscribe but I find it weirdly entertaining, particularly because all of the subject lines make it feel like I'm getting emailed directly by my intrusive thoughts:
Just Launched: BG3 Script Extender Console Cheat Sheet!
This is a pet project I've been working on for a little while that is finally, I think, ready to see the light of day, and I'm excited to share it with y'all!
Visit http://bg3se.netlify.app for a useful cheat sheet of easily copyable and customizable commands to be used for various purposes in the BG3 Script Extender console mod.
Currently supported:
Quick-copy character UUIDs.
Search for plot flags and generate commands to set/unset/check them.
Search for character tags and generate commands to add/remove/check them.
Search for cutscenes and generate commands to trigger them dynamically with any character in each role. (Currently a non-exhaustive list due to the huge number of scenes in the game, but reach out to me if there's one you need and can't find!)
Search for items and generate commands to spawn them in your inventory.
Generate commands to spawn gold in your inventory, set character hitpoints, trigger a character respec, or set companion approval.
Suggestions very much welcome! Please reach out to me on Tumblr or Github if you have an idea for another feature, encounter a bug, or find some missing data.
Rapidly generate console commands for the Baldur's Gate 3 Script Extender for a variety of useful tasks.
Kitty report after (almost) 1 week!
Fig is so brave, you guys. <3 She spent the first few days mostly hiding but she comes out now and sits with me while I work and flops down for belly rubs and purrs. Very sweet kitty.
She and Alonzo have met through a mesh door and both seem a little uncertain so far but I'm cautiously optimistic they will get along after some more time and slow introduction. :3
@wrenthedruid I felt bad since you seemed v excited and like you might have been hoping for romance stuff, and my next for-real photoset might not be romancey per se - but I ended up spending most of my evening figuring out some new pose and lighting mods so I am glad to be able to present you with the fruits of that labor instead. :D
Have some cuties being cute.
Oh hey, look, the Helm of Balduran appeared in BG2 also. :O It's in a random drawer in Irenicus's quarters in his dungeon at the start of the game.
Looks nothing like it does in BG3 rofl.
IDK if Larian's intention was that Irenicus's was a fake or the horns fell off sometime in the ensuing century. XD
[sigh] remember at the beginning of January I had all these plans about how I was gonna settle into a real regular writing cadence and get tons done this year?
Yeah that has definitely not happened. But I s2g I'm going to make some progress this weekend if it kills me.
Occasionally I think about the fact that I probably have (most of) the technical skills to build a serviceable Tumblr alternative in the event of The Collapse, and have an investment in the culture and preservation/enabling of fandom creation, and I start wondering again about whether it would be a good idea to make an attempt.
And then I always run up against the elephant in the room which is cost. The cost of maintaining a site like this at scale must be astronomical. Vast numbers of servers for redundancy and global endpoints, processing power to handle millions of simultaneous requests, database storage for an exponentially growing amount of posts and reblog information, and then the image hosting requirements, my god... and the human non-automated moderation that people want...
I already spend a sizable chunk of change just keeping RPThreadTracker running and that thing is TINY.
This is why I get a little frustrated at the kneejerk aversion to any sort of monetary support by the Tumblr userbase; I think a lot of people just don't fathom that if you want a FREE site and community of this size and robustness, money still HAS to be involved somewhere. A LOT of money. Which means our options are:
A powerful corporate interest
Having our data sold to the highest bidder
User participation in donations and optional purchases
Tumblr has a combination of 1 and 3 which allows us to avoid 2, and yet people constantly spit in the face of 3 and then wonder why the whole situation is so fragile.
Anyway, all this to say that I need some extraordinarily rich person who is at home in the Tumblr ecosystem to come out of the woodwork. I just wanna talk.
