Indeed. Liam had integrity back then. But unfortunately time has twisted him and he no longer cares about anything but getting see him name after the word ‘President’. What we need is authenticity, so Vote For Sam!

How can we vote for a Caduceus killer???

*kicks in door* OK, I found one I like: Agnes Obel - The Curse. For the people of Whitestone during the Briarwoods arc.

*peers through the door over a week later* This is a very lovely song. I’m a sucker for cellos and sinister lyrics. I love all the lyrics but the verse that stands out to me is:

“Tell me now of the very souls that look alike, look alike/ Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?/ If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon/ Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise”

Because it reminds me of Percy learning of what Whitestone’s become and seeing all the people he knew from his child transformed in fear of the Briarwoods, hoping that some will be a “blessing in disguise” to help him in his revolution.

Come yell at me about the songs that remind you of Critical Role! I’m making a giant playlist! (Song masterpost | CR music tag)

I think part of the reason it got that way is that lots of folks started on a controller that had a directional pad and at most three buttons, and then generations built outward from there. I think aminil had a great idea, with the movement. Try and focus on getting familiar with the camera first. You could try inverting the vertical and see if that feels better. Just walk around and look at stuff! That's the best part of the game anyway!

The number one mistake I see fairly new gamers on consoles make is that they try to input the 'looking around' stick and 'walking' stick as two separate inputs, sequentially. My advise is always: Completely concentrate only on the looking around stick. Only ever push forward on the 'walking' stick. The character moves where you're looking, so only concentrate on the looking stick and just either push forward on the walking stick or do nothing on the walking stick.

This is great advice all around! Thank you, friends! (And yes, much to my chagrin, I discovered pretty much right off the bat that inverted worked a lot better for me on console.)

Kickstarters usually receive a ton of pledges right before a deadline, so it’s entirely possible it might go even higher yet, but I think it depends on the rate they can keep up during the entire 45 day run :)

Oh, that’s true, I forgot about that. So maybe 7M at the high end, particularly if some people are waiting to increase their pledges before the deadline because they’re waiting on paychecks or tax returns.

Kima or Keg?

Aw shit you really know where to hit me hardest. I love them both so much… but probably Kima just because I have so many feelings about her and we still don’t know so much about Keg (but I’d like to!) Case in point: I don’t have an entire playlist in my head for Keg.

I think there’s an audience for both. I’m continually surprised that there are people out there that really enjoy the longer meta, and they often get quite a lot of notes as well. It really makes me appreciate the fandom. A short shitpost might garner more notes than a long essay, but in my experience it’s a bit like playing roulette. Some posts take off, others don’t, sometimes I wish Post A had gotten more attention than Post B, but you can never predict it :)

Very true about the unpredictability. I have noticed a slightly predictable but very small disparity between posts’ “popularity” based on which character is being discussed. (And it’s probably not what people would assume.)

Haha, I know how you feel with the larping stuff being out of your comfort zone. But you could always just play yourself, just… a medieval version of course, you don’t necessarily have to roleplay as much as you think. Additionally, one of the reasons why I’m asking people to come with is that getting stuff like camping gear sorted is much less effort as a larger group!

True, true, I could just play some very nervous wizard or something haha

I’ll think about it ;)
