Um Novo Capítulo: Me Ajude a Começar Minha Jornada na TI! 💻✨
💜 Um novo capítulo da minha vida está começando.
Fui aprovada para o curso de Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) na FAETERJ Petrópolis, e em agosto inicio minha graduação.
Para acompanhar os estudos, desenvolver projetos, praticar programação e construir meu portfólio, preciso de um notebook que será minha principal ferramenta durante toda a faculdade.
Por isso, criei uma vaquinha. Qualquer contribuição, por menor que seja, faz diferença. E, se não puder ajudar financeiramente, compartilhar esta publicação já me ajuda muito a alcançar mais pessoas.
Na página da campanha compartilho minha matrícula e atualizações frequentes para manter total transparência.
Muito obrigada por todo apoio e por fazer parte dessa conquista! ✨

A New Chapter: Help Me Start My Tech Journey! 💻✨
💜 A new chapter of my life is officially beginning!
I was accepted into the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) program at FAETERJ Petrópolis, and my college journey starts this August.
To keep up with my classes, build projects, practice coding, and develop my portfolio, I need a laptop that will be my main tool throughout college. Because of this, I’ve started a crowdfunding campaign.
Any contribution, no matter how small, makes a huge difference. If you can’t donate financially, just reblogging this post helps immensely to spread the word and reach more people!
On the campaign page, I have shared my official student enrollment ID and I'll be posting frequent updates to ensure total transparency.
Thank you so much for all your support and for being a part of this milestone! ✨
Hi!! I'm a college student working on my senior project which is about Baldur's Gate 3 and choice! I'm interviewing a few friends but I would like to get a larger sample size so if you could take my google form it'd really help me out!! Thank you so much!!
This covers specific choices in the game (described vaguely), opinions about and how you make decisions.
Hi! This is for my senior project for college, I'm doing a paper on Baldur's Gate 3 and choice. If you fill this out, you consent to me usin
My own example survey answers are under the cut!
Did you play as yourself, or were you portraying a character? If playing as a character, how much did your character’s views and decisions align with your own? (If you have played multiple characters, answer for multiple)
I play characters! They both stay on the good person side of things because I feel bad being mean to the characters and my heart cannot take an evil route. I could barely live with my sins after my durge, Euphie, got caught for murder. Sera (tav) aligns more with me since she’s genuinely very kind, a bit too much for her own good, while Euphie is playing good person but they aren’t perfect, more willing to take and ask for payment and occasionally act a bit selfishly or quip a bit rudely depending on who they’re with.
What was your philosophy for creating a character? (If playing as yourself, how did you model your character after yourself?)
I wanted characters that would have a fun narrative and be enjoyable for me to play, which meant sticking with characters that would skew more towards the good side of things
Seraphine: She was my first character, I wanted someone who was going to be nice to people and heroic. I developed her as I played and got a handle on her in act 1 as someone trying to help everyone she can because she had her life saved as a child, and wants to pay it back. I also played with the fact that Tavs do not have personal quests as that she is struggling with being thrown into a leadership position and fighting as someone without much experience in either and wow all my friends have these insane problems my issues with my sorcery powers feel very small in comparison. Her issues with her powers and being defined by them came from a Sorcerer-exclusive scene of distress when approaching the Susur tree in the Underdark.
Euphie, my Dark Urge, was formed from my desire to play with someone trying to be a good person who believes they are not a good person, telling a lie of heroism to others as much as themself. I knew information about the Dark Urge playthrough and I wanted a messed up little creature to play with.
How do you go about making decisions in Baldur’s Gate 3? What influences your choices? What do you prioritize?
I make my decisions mostly based on my characters and what I think they would think is the right thing to do, but I do also take my own opinions and feelings into account of what I think a good option is that will also work out well.
How do you go about making decisions in your everyday life? What influences your choices? What do you prioritize?
I try to think through all the possibilities and figure out what’s going to work out the best - while I do consider my own interests sometimes I end up putting the interests of others above myself of what would be better for them, even if it’s not necessarily the best for me. I try to prioritize what I think is going to work out the best, but sometimes I struggle with it.
Tell me about a choice in real life you recently made.
In my directing class, they needed someone to be flexible since it seemed we were losing one actor and someone would have to either direct a monologue or I would have to team up with someone and we split directing a scene. The classmate didn’t really want to split the scene, so I agreed to do the monologue to make things easier for everyone else.
In act 1, did you side with the grove and tieflings or the cult of the Absolute? Why?
Both Sera and Euphie went with the grove/tieflings! This is admittedly one of my boundaries where I would feel too terrible about killing everyone when I like them and I cannot handle disappointing and killing Wyll and Karlach. My heart cannot take it. But both of them wanted to do the obvious right thing in the situation, though Sera was more motivated by helping the tieflings when, as a tiefling, she understands some of their struggles and wishes to stand by her people - though obviously she wanted help with a cure. Euphie had more desperation towards help and a cure because her worse condition (dark urges) she was still clinging to hope were also caused by the tadpole.
If you chose the grove, did you do the exploits for recruiting Minthara or utilize the official methods allowed in Patch 5 and beyond? Why?
Yes, in Euphie’s playthrough. She seems like a really interesting and fun character from all I’ve heard about her but my heart cannot take siding with her in act 1. I wanted to get to know a new character and experience something new
In act 2, what did you choose to do in Shadowheart’s confrontation with Aylin? Why?
Sera did an uncharacteristic thing at first in trusting her, as they were very close and she believed in her good heart, even though she was incredibly worried as a Selunite. She advised her towards sparing Aylin to learn the truth about herself, but was incredibly relieved to have a convincing way to turn her away from it. Admittedly I also wanted to see what would happen if I just trusted her when I saw that option.
In act 3, did you choose to break Wyll’s pact or leave it intact? Why?
I HATED THIS ONE. MIZORA YOU PETTY BITCH. Please excuse my visceral response, this is the decision I am most opinionated on. I struggled a lot with this decision, especially since you’re not really given an opportunity to ask Wyll what he wants to do before advising him either way on something that has such a strong impact on his life. I ended up deciding to break the pact, because staying in it would be subjecting him to a terrible fate for the rest of his life, and Sera cares much more about Wyll and his well being than his father, the city will have to get along without him. She also had bias in dating Karlach, hating Mizora and devils in general.
(This is also exactly why I picked it, it was the choice that hit the hardest since it really is a lose-lose situation)
How do you feel about the options Baldur’s Gate 3 gives you for decisions?
I like that they tend to make me feel informed about the decisions and give me a variety of options without having an overwhelming amount. I
Do you think about the game’s choices when you’re not playing?
Occasionally, after I’ve made a more difficult decision or left one to sit for a bit. Normally not a significant amount, but I’ve done a lot of thinking about them because of my paper.
Were there any decisions you made, decided you weren’t happy with them, and reloaded to change them? If so, why?
In Euphie’s playthrough, I chose to hide Alfira’s body, passed, and then realized no one was going to say anything about it, even asking where she went or acknowledging her being gone, so I decided to let them get caught on purpose. I hated living with my sins but it was a more interesting character moment.
Were there any choices that were particularly difficult for you?
WYLL’S PACT I had such a terrible time being confronted with the lose-lose situation of it and no option to try to get Wyll’s input like you usually can when making decisions for companions. It was a major “wow look at these options! Sera would not say any of them.” and I literally just sat there, complained to my friends on discord, then closed the game and went to bed. I could not deal with that right now.
Shadowheart’s parents also was one I felt really bad about and that’s a decision I regret and have genuinely thought about changing cause I do kinda wanna replay act 3 - on the surface it feels like a similar situation to Wyll’s of choosing between freedom and being bound forever but it feels more like letting the abuser win and I don’t like it for her. Plus her parents being around would make Sera feel better about leaving her behind to go to Avernus, but I wanted to finish up and I’d already had to redo some stuff and didn’t want to redo more.
How decisive are you in real life?
Not very decisive! I hate important choices and they stress me out! I have an easier time when it’s something like picking the perfect Squishmallow to buy because I can look at all of the options and there’s no time limit and it’s inconsequential but things that concern life and money and my future feel paralyzing
How would you like to be referred to as if I mention you in the paper? (alias, pronouns)
Astra, she/they
Do you consent to me using your input in a potential video essay in the future? (It’s okay to say no)
Yes (If I wasn’t giving input there would be no video lol)
Anything else you’d like to say? (If you’re interested in getting the final results, please put contact)
Hello my lovely people! I am doing a research project about character and dialogue development in order to improve my writing skills. I would absolutely be over the moon if you could fill out this short survey for me! It won’t take more than 5 mins, I promise!!!
If everyone could spread the word as well, I would be eternally grateful.
Hello! Do you happen to know anyone who has suffered/suffering from anxiety? My friend is currently working on a study for his thesis which aims to better understand anxiety and the behavior of individuals suffering from this. If you know anyone, please don’t hesitate to give me a message. I assure you that any information will be kept in secret. Thank you!
Hey tumblr people, this is a rare personal post, but if you have 5 minutes to spare I’m currently running a psychology experiment on how tired people’s faces are perceived by others and I’m looking for participants.
You can do it online at faceresearch.org/project?tiredfaces the website will ask you to sign up, you only need to choose username & password, and enter you sex and date of birth, you can leave the rest of the questions blank. The rest will be explained in the instructions for the experiment.
I would really appreciate this as it would help me a lot with my work and if you want to know about the results you can email me (email address is in the link) or just leave me an ask here on tumblr :)
If you’re having any issues with running the questionnaire, I’m aware that Chrome sometimes disagrees with the website but I’m afraid there’s not much I can do about it so if the experiment doesn’t run on your browser, thanks for trying to take part anyway.
