me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts
How are you going to include songs from the before in the instrumental polls? As far as I know there aren’t official instrumentals for his older albums. Or has someone made isolated versions of those?
Yeaaa CJ stated in the QnA about how all the instrumentals on the Covered in Discontent & the before. albums are just gone cos there was no reason to keep em at the time.
Like I said in the first poll, there was just some songs that don't have an isolated track to listen to, so you'd just have to listen to the song itself & focus on the instruments rather than the lyrics.
Not the greatest thing I know, but! Those songs have really good music & it didn't feel fair to not have em in it, just cos CJ never woulda known how many people would've wanted those down the line. [since like, 50-80% of his fans came from after the before was already finished]
All this is rlly just to say; bros original stuff are really good & deserve more love lol.
"Yeah i have some weird tastes but overall I'd say my ability to empathize with non heroic characters in a story and tell horror from tragedy is pretty normal. Like, very average, on par with anyone with 5th grade or above reading comprehension."
a YouTuber: "possibly the biggest pill though is I'm now going to have to ask you to empathize with one of these shape shifting vampires even though they have absolutely killed people. this is phase 3 of "what the heck is going on in (the game he's talking about)" it's not actually a horror game. i know. it's a lot"
If I kept doing LC content, I'd probably pull another Comic Dubbing situation, where nobody made high quality content until I did, and then it became the norm seemingly only after I stopped.
Because wow. I haven't found anyone who edits as hard as I did for my LC videos yet, mostly seeing just...honestly boring or uninspired clips with friendgroups that sound...dead.
But I imagine, once one creator with the passion and drive sees my content they'll be like me, and go "I can do that. Shit I can do that better than them!"
And I look forward to it as I have with undertale comic dubs.
Because before UT comic dubs, all videos doing dubs were intensively lazy. still ass PNGs with dollar store mics, reading dialogue in their normal ass voices, not a hint of editing or energy or passion. I made some slick edits and suddenly everyone was aswell. Good shit. Like seeing mediums grow, especially when I was but one of the losers at the forefront essentially giving guides with my amateur editing of the time that people could easily replicate.
To this day I still think anyone who watches one of my UT dubs could replicate them better than me, and when I get sad that perhaps that inspiration didn't hit, that maybe the artistic foundation I laid wasn't utilized, I'll get a comment, go to one of the videos, and see in the reccomended that while I moved on, so many talented creators took up that space and surpassed me. I won't know who was inspired, but I can see the rise of quality since, and say, hey man, I think I helped that growth, and as an artist, that's all I really want from my creations.
Foundations for others to build off of. One day a creator will see it, and recognize the sheer potential within them by recognizing my own flaws, knowing how I did things, and wanting to surpass them.
