Buy me a coffee - a new option at WM

Hi! There is a new option I would like to address.
Over the last few years, I have been asked a couple of times about Patreon or other ways to support me. I am very happy that there are people who thought they would like to show their gratitude in such a way. I never set up any such website, because I fear it would make it feel odd, and as if I had to create new mods, because there are people who want me to do so, and they invest their resources in me. And what if I suffer from writer's block? What if I feel tired?
Truth be told, there are times when I feel exactly like that. If I am to create any new mods, it will take much more time from now on. And even then, I cannot promise that such mods will keep coming. My Download Center plugin says I have hit over 60 releases now. And this makes me feel both great and terrified, because—just imagine how many hours I had to put in this and how many bugs are still there. Is there a chance Dynaheir BG2EE was my last mod? I'm afraid so. Can a miracle happen, and I may still release some brand new mod? I cannot rule that out, but I won't promise it's going to happen.
Today, however, I set up a "But me a coffee" website. And it's also scary, because I have never done that. And because I cannot promise you that I will keep creating more and more and more mods. I've already told so many stories... I worked with so many amazing people, modders, translators, and artists! And I received so many kind words—well, it has always felt so cool. If you enjoyed my mods, a "thank you" is enough. But if you still want to have another option, because I made you laugh, cry, ponder, or I helped you relax after a really long day... this is a new option you have. You can find the link to donations at my download center (right panel and upper menu) and on the forum (right panel of the main page, the upper menu, and this post). If you, however, cannot afford such support, do not feel obliged to make any donation. I do care about your well-being, even if sometimes I may seem distant or stubborn in my replies. But if, nevertheless, you want to buy me a coffee, and that won't affect your well-being or budget in a harmful way, then... thanks!
Know, however, that donations won't come with any special boons. I want my mods to remain available to everyone. There won't be any special projects, updates, or fixes only for my supporters. I don't want to hide new versions of my mods behind a paywall. That wouldn't feel right.
If you enjoyed my mods and came here to say "thanks"—I too thank you for the time it took to come here, register, log-in and leave me this message. If you feel that you want to buy me a nice cup of weasely coffee, I also thank you. I do appreciate that.
And to people who come here, play my mods, read my posts... I wish you many wonderful and bug-free runs! Cheers!
