#I run the QSMP Vod Timestamp archive so I'm regularly watching like 10 POVs (which is insane and unsustainable. 0/10 do not recommend)

Going insane rn remembering how amazing Karmaland 5 was. I'm rewatching old clips and animations and rereading my old notes and analysis and I'm like dang. I'm so glad I was able to experience this live.
It does make me think a lot about preservation and streaming as a medium for storytelling though. When it comes to servers with multiple people, inevitably there will be POVs you don't see and stories you miss out on (especially if things aren't archived or deleted). You'll never get the full picture unless you see every single thing from every possible angle. A single line from a POV you don't watch could change your entire outlook on a character -- it could change the entire story itself. As someone who's committed to knowing every single thing about a story, it's extremely frustrating, but at the same time, it's such a fascinating way to tell a story. I do wish it was a little easier to re-experience these stories though because streams take so much more time to consume, and even if VODs are edited down, sometimes things are lost and those single story-changing lines are left out solely because an editor might not deem them "important" to the narrative as a whole.
I dunno man. As a writer and a story-enjoyer, it gives me a lot to think about.
#i talk#Karmaland talk#Went off on a bit of a tangent here but I've been thinking about that a lot#I think my number 1 complaint about streaming as a storytelling medium IS the inability to consume all perspectives#as well as how time-consuming it is to even do a few perspectives#I run the QSMP Vod Timestamp archive so I'm regularly watching like 10 POVs (which is insane and unsustainable. 0/10 do not recommend)#but even then I'm like!!! frick dude!!! I'm still not getting the full story!!!#It's frustrating!!! I do love Karmaland and QSMP but it drives me up the wall#anyways we're getting off-topic here. In summary:#BRO I FRICKIN MISS KARMALAND#If QSMP wasn't eating up quite literally 99% of my time I'd binge the entire thing#K5 was so short but SO frickin good like it was SO insanely good#it raised my standards for everything#also Luzu and Q were especially insane for that#agh#I miss them#Luzu come home so I can get a taste of the high Karmaland 5 gave me again
