To say that I am completely and utterly enthralled by this ethereal, divine, mystical (I could be here for hours describing her) woman is an understatement. The fact that I get to call her my girlfriend is something I will never tire of. Mijn geliefde, to love and to be loved 💜
@louziella
The only “yikes” is the fans thinking they know better than the people involved in the event. Crafting your own conclusions and going to battle for someone else doesn’t make you a fan, it just means you’re selfish and projecting.
Shout out to
@alionabaranova1
for being open about her sexuality and relationship. Slavic households are often not kind nor receptive so the representation is refreshing and well needed. Glad I got the opportunity to thank you in person.
After having a lovely conversation with cypher I felt encouraged to share what is close to my heart. Thank you
@SamanthaBeart
for being you and for bringing Karlach to life. The most impactful character in any video game I have ever played.❤️🔥
Since we're crushing rumours this week, onto the topic of Karlach's development and my mocap contribution
If nothing else, know this: I did all my own mocap on BG3 - yes, ALL - including *that* epilogue. It was a 4.5 hour session with director
@soundswilde
@TracyWiles
If it makes you feel better, I have done 3 playthroughs and I still don't understand combat mechanics. I just click shit and hope for the best
@aceforspinaltap
💯agree. To perpetuate the point, I highly recommend to everyone to check out this interview with Sam whereby they go over what an average day of work looked like during the game's production:
@onakita
While I appreciate you posting the video as a follow up, I do believe an apology is also due. The original post was heavily blown out of proportion, and I feel it is a good lesson moving forward to not speak on people's behalf especially when we are not aware of the full story.

Please explain how you arrived to the conclusion that your narrative of what happened was correct and that it is somehow your DUTY to say something.

is NOT just voice acting. They are ACTORS. Period. I will die on this hill. Please learn the difference if you are unaware and give the due respect.
Can’t believe we literally met up on Thursday after both flying from different countries, and were hanging out ever since. Absolutely incredible time, thank you for spending it with me
The things you’ll learn at cons… but has definitely been well worth the trip over. ✈️

Haven’t been sharing many photos or details cause some of y’all don’t know how to be calm about things folks share.
I’ll do a proper re-cap/wrap up when I get home. ✌🏾
Got a burning question for Karlach (or me as a performer)? Beloved mod

will be taking your requests for a special Q&A session this Saturday

Leave your Qs below - and bear in mind I won't answer anything personal! ❤️🔥
Some of y’all on here preach until you’re blue in the face that you want your favourite actor on this app, yet create the most hostile, speculative, and selfish-driven environment. Wild.
Some of the finest ACTORS coming together for a fun skit to further highlight their ACTING skills. Incredibly grateful to live in a world filled with so much ACTING talent 🥺🙏🏼
@JoshWichard
@KirstinKazakoff
@microgirlActual
A rumour can’t be deleted as easily as a comment. The damage has been done in BOTH cases, to Dave too. Following constant mentioning of you in Sam’s stream regarding their mocap contribution, I found this. Influence considered, surely a public statement is warranted, right?
@SamanthaBeart
Still the best ACTING PERFORMANCE in the game for me. Was enamored by the ACTING from start to finish. Your ACTING here had me re-evaluating my life. Such a brilliant ACTING PERFORMANCE it even brought the studio to tears (thank you Josh Weeden).
Today is my six year partner anniversary on

and it's been a wild ride. November 12th is my nine year anniversary of going live on the platform. Join me Saturday November 4th to celebrate this milestone.

The only thing it won't come with is a webcam (and headset if that's your thing), if you prefer to stream with one. Here is a screenshot of what it comes with which for all intents and purposes is just: the power cord, manual, controller, base (holder), and HDMI cable.
I am not "the fandom".
Considering I actually know him IRL, and he said the same to me in person as he did in the video, I would question what you're projecting onto people you don't know.
@RogueSomers
@SamanthaBeart
I might just gently remind that they are actors, not VAs. The word voice actor has been misused too much and is a misrepresentation of what they’ve done on the game, that’s all.
@kentpsychphd
@fpdblaxland
I had no idea video games could be used like this, and to know that Karlach is helping people heal in the same way she's helped me warms my heart. Thank you for everything you do, your work is so, so important!
@fpdblaxland
@SamanthaBeart
You BOTH are a gift. I shared my writing because I didn't want others to feel alone, who may also have felt vulnerable when faced with their own darkness. I did not expect this in a million years. Thank you, to both, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️🔥
@Leahlemoncakes
If you're after overhead specifically. I HIGHLY recommend Sony WH-1000xm4. I have used them on long haul flights (14 hours +) and it blocked out 90% of noise, lasted forever (I use them daily and charge maybe once a week), and they are so comfortable I forgot I'm wearing them.
This is amazing this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing *INHALES* this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing this is amazing
So much fun! Thanks, Justin!
And yes, I really did watch Hellraiser when I was 8 years old...
...and appreciated the SFX and makeup AND I TURNED OUT *FINE*

It doesn't make you a good person to yell over the voice of the person who actually had the experience. It just makes you performative.

...
I opened up about subjects close to my heart: authenticity and how I've learned to weaponise my ADHD. 💜
@m1stle
Congratulations m1stle, you're part of the problem. Not once did Sam name anyone, nor "prompt" a witch hunt. She protected their reputation. Good to see you support one person's feelings but erase the other's! Great stuff mate!
@jcnorn
@SamanthaBeart
Samantha has fine tuned my robot program to only accept the questions we already have written down. Thank you for understanding. Beep boop out.
@bitternerdette
I believe this is part of where the problem comes from. Calling them VAs implies someone else did all the movement. We can assist in curb stomping these rumours by calling them for what they are: actors. Gives proper credit to everyone, too!
@StarlitCreation
@aceforspinaltap
I'm glad you enjoyed the read! Huge thank you to
@SamanthaBeart
for going into such detail as well and providing so much insight to not only their mocap and voice work for Karlach, but the process in general.

@SamanthaBeart
I wouldn't have even thought to post something like this without connecting with you. Truly, thank you for being you, Cypher. ❤️🔥
@LoudnKeri
@cypheroftyr
As lovely as everyone was (cast, handlers, volunteers, staff) the organisation, communication, and treatment by the con was poor and disappointing. I hope this year will be taken as serious feedback for future cons to avoid repetition of the atrocities.
@ScottJoseph_UK
I've now added this playlist to my combined playlist of Karlach, Gale, Halsin, and Dammon, and EVERYONE disapproved 😂😂Can't escape the Ghaiks!

I love my girl Karlach so much! I still have to finish her properly since there are mistakes and missing parts, but overall I think she turned out great! Have my cosplay of her 🫶🏻

You’ve been beyond a blast to spend time with. Truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. We almost died in like yesterday so I guess that officially makes us ride or die? 😹😹
