Although Guybrush is a fictional and not a historical person, he still had a big influence on me. At a time when I was being bullied in school and my self-esteem was suffering because of my bad acne, escaping into fantasy worlds helped me. The anti-hero Guybrush was a role model for me: despite poor starting chances, he achieved his goals and always retained his self-critical sense of humor in difficult situations. This is how I soon reacted in reality. With success: I suddenly became popular in the class community and was later even elected student representative with 100 %. But the most important thing: I also met my best childhood friends, including Steve, who is still my best friend to this day. Thanks Guybrush! Thank you, Ron Gilbert! β₯οΈ

This is amazing, Finni. I am so sorry you had to go through that in school. π’ I was also bullied a lot through school and video games were my escape! They still are, to be honest. You're right in that the odds were against Guybrush but he still prevailed! It's inspiring. And the humour definitely helped. I am so happy that you finally felt acceptance there and also met your best friend. β€οΈ Over 20 years ago I met someone I bonded over gaming with and we are still best friends to this day. I remember playing the Leisure Suit Larry series by myself but then later with him too, if you remember those ones, by Sierra Entertainment! π

Very nice work. I love how the character seems to spun from liquid fire.
