Baldur's Gate 3 (2023) dev. Larian Studios

Yeah my life might be complicated but at least me and [fictional character] are living our best lives right now.

no lie, the second half of this post really helped me put a different perspective on my life and greatly the decreased the anxiety i have about my life to come

Finally

Cyberpunk 2077 gave us Penis 2.

But Baldur's Gate 3 has given us...

Reminders for the Anxious/Depressed Creatives

• You’re more than what you make.
• Your productivity does not determine your value.
• It’s okay to do nothing sometimes.
• Not everything you do has to result in a product.
• Not everything you make has to be important, significant, or even good.
• You can make things just for yourself.
• You can keep secrets for yourself, whether it’s not posting some of your projects or not sharing your techniques.
• You’re allowed to say no.
• You’re allowed to rest.

2023 Updates:

• Inspiration doesn’t cure burnout. Rest cures burnout.
• People will wait for you; take your time and come back when you are ready.
• It’s okay to scrap projects that no longer excite you, even if other people like them.
• It’s delightful and excellent to be openly proud of your work.
• Afford yourself the same gentleness that you would afford another creative - negative self-talk is counterproductive and frankly cruel.
• Self-indulgent creations are satisfying to others as well; don’t apologize for your own pleasure.
• Actually, don’t apologize for your work at all.

Me when Baldur's Gate 3 comes out tomorrow

sometimes a bug will clean its antenna or a bird will itch its feathers with its little feet or a kitty will blink its little eyes at you and then youll feel so overwhelmed with love for the world you cant even stand it
