Crusader Kings 3 - Tumblr Posts
Might I suggest imprisoning one or both of your parents and your siblings if applicable? That usually works for me.

As a very experienced backseat gamer i really like it when my bf fiance plays ck3 because one moment you think you can finally understand what is happening but than suddenly he's very angry because "those coocksukers elected me as the Holy Roman Emperor!"
Important life advice from my bf fiance i learned as his backseat gamer:
"Obviously bisexual, othervise it would be too hard to seduce the ✨️Pope✨️."
You think you know someone but he only told me after 4 years, an engagment and a dog that there is an "Open the Barbershop" button is CK3.
There is a cloak section. I'm in danger.
"Of course i'm changing clothers to match the environment."

My backseat gaming jorney continous.
So i noticed while we were playing swtor that i was happy with just the same armor all the time (I got it on maybe the second planet and never changed it because it fit the wibe) but my bf fiance would stop after nearly every planet to go on a whole side quest to craft a new outfit so it would fit the story and the weather more.
He is a very stylish guy irl, i actually took a lot of inspiration from him. But i'm strating to suspect that guys just want to play dress up with extra steps, and not just because he literally told me, but maybe, just maybe because he showed me his sewing room in Elden Ring (where he spent the next 10 minutes showing me off his cape collection).
I love this guy so much.
Uncomplete list of dress up games i watched him play:
Red dead redemption 2
Dark souls games
Elden ring
SWTOR
Kingdom come
Cyberpink 2077
Please do recommend more dress up games. I really like helping him find the perfect outfit to ✨️slay✨️ in more than one way.
(Yes i tried to reccommend him some dress up games i like but he really likes getting the new stuff as a reward for his hard work)
Baldwin IV, the... Gamer King?
Something I've found interesting - and rather surprising, tbh - is the increasing number of games and game concepts in which Baldwin IV features, and not simply as inspiration for the characters' designs, but as himself.
Here's how many places I've found him and the accompanying artwork of him (all very obviously inspired by - you guessed it - Kingdom of Heaven)
==================
First, the actual games...
1) Evony: The King's Return
This article from One Chilled Gamer gives the details on his statistics.
2) Blood of Steel
You can find the details in this news announcement on the game's Steam hub.
3) European War 7: Medieval
It's a little harder to find information on this one, but there's a discussion thread here on him.
==================
Baldwin also makes an appearance in the mods for several games, including...
Sid Meier's Civilization V
This mod adds the Kingdom of Jerusalem as a civilization to the game, with Baldwin IV as its leader. There's info on him on this wiki page, including his war and peace themes ("The Holy Land" and "Siege of Kerak" from Crusader Kings 2, respectively.)
Sid Meier's Civilization VI
This mod also adds the Kingdom of Jerusalem into the next game of the series, again with Baldwin IV as its leader.
Crusader Kings III
This mod overhauls CK3 to allow the player to assume the role of any leader present in Kingdom of Heaven (as well as their contemporaries around Europe and Asia), including Baldwin IV - although you won't get to play as him for very long before his death.
==================
Finally, I've found some concept-style art of Baldwin floating around out there, too, although I'm not certain they are for an actual game or simply intended for a potential game if they happen to grab a developer's interest.
This one is by ShawnFox on Artstation:
And this one is by XuanHan Chen, also on Artstation:
==================
This is all I've personally been able to find so far, but there's probably more out there I've missed. If anyone has run across any other game-related art of Baldwin IV, please share!
