Tomorrow is the big expac release day for Guild Wars 2 and I am not prepared. My computer problems seem fixed, but I am nowhere near done with Baldur's Gate 3. Also, after playing GG3 so much I am no longer used to sane camera controls or good movement systems.

Actually, GW2 is going to the sort of expac release they always should have done where tomorrow is a big content drop but more will roll out over the next 6 months. They are doing it the way people sort of expected them to do it way back at launch.

I kind of want to be done with BG3 so I don't have to worry about spoilers, but also I don't want to rush it. It's a big game.

Makeshift Fanfic Trello Thing

* I wrote and posted one BG3 Tav/Astarion story. Short, early game spoilers, Astarion POV.

* I wrote two other drafts I might edit into finished BG3 stories.

* I wrote one longer story while still in Act 2, and a crucial plot point was based on a spoiler that is going around. Turns out, the spoiler is not correct. Idiot me kinda assumed it was legit because of who some of the people repeating it where and also it makes sense for some early game events. I tried to rewrite the story informed by the actual plot, but it's not really working. I am going to finish the game and then decide what to do with the story.

Now, despite this torpedoing a finished story, I am not really upset. I think being upset would be understandable, but eh. But this is why I try to stay ahead of spoilers when I can. They aren't always correct, sometimes it's a hot take or someone trying to make drama. Sometimes it's correct but taken way out of context. The information is never neutral. It's letting twitter drama effect my first experience of a canon... and in this case my in-game choices in a game with 17,000 endings. So it will literally effect what I see.

* I have 3 Steddie stories I want done by the end of next month and I have worked on one of them. But yeah, October rushes closer and I have BG3 and also GW2: SOTO that will distract me. Also,
