New instance, new #Introduction post!

Here we go again...

I'm River, and I've booped around a few places here on the fediverse, currently hanging out with my friends @tiefling :diotima: and @VulpineDruid :vul: to chat about stuff and things.

I've been gaming since the heady days of OG #BaldursGate, and am currently obsessed with #BaldursGate3 and #DragonAge #TheVeilguard.

When I'm not gaming, I'm an academic #librarian, a practicing #witch and #Selunite, an occasional #writer and #poet and a general all-round nerdy type.

I'm also queer and trans, so I will post about #LGBTQ stuff, but I will content warn anything political.

You can find my blogging, fiction, poetry and stuff via the linktree in my bio.

I finally finished Dragon Age Veilguard last night. Debating if it beats out DA2 (my fave) and I think it might. It only have a few minor criticisms tbh.

The messages of dealing with generational trauma, toxic guilt, fighting oppression, growing up mixed culture, etc. were all fantastic. The cast was great, even the ones I was less enthusiastic about grew on me. Gotta love Manfred and Assan ♥️ Don't forget the best trans writing in AAA games

I'm so sad that EA's terribleness resulted in layoffs after shipping such a good game just because greedy suits not stuffing their pockets off of it. State of our industry is in such a terrible spot right now, it's why we need UVW-CWA union more than ever 💪

Time for a new #introduction post.

Hiya. 👋 I'm Dreadful Sanity aka Mel, a level 47 gamer from Germany. #Videogames keep me basically from going completely crazy and therefore alive. I'm #disabled, suffering from debilitating #migraines most days of the week. I also have #ADHD which means my brain is usually going all over the place. And last but not least, there is some #BPD mixed into the mess that I am. Beware of that.

The games that I usually alternate through are...
#Warcraft
#DragonAge
#MassEffect
#Cyberpunk2077
#TheSims4
#BaldursGate3

Though every now and then I will play something new. Or different.

I think that's all. 👉 👈 😊

If you follow me you know I play a lot of Dragon Age Origins. I'm always on my final, final campaign, definitely the last one 😁 While I have now started BG3, and am thoroughly enjoying it, it's reserved for the daylight hours, so I am still sneaking in an hour or two of DAO on those evenings when I have enough spoons available and still enjoying it thoroughly. So, I thought I'd start a wee thread on the mods I am personally using with DAO in case anyone was interested, only the thread became so long I decided to create a blog post on my website instead 😊

video game posting:

it's weird to me that in DAV critics are like "everyone sounds like they are in HR" but also "Taash is mean"

There's some truth to the former for several characters, but Taash is brusque and direct but also perfectly friendly? The way they talk seems pretty expected given their cultural background and career and I've known plenty of people like that who I've gotten along with just fine
