      I'm very curious how much of a difference this 'clickbait-y' title and thumbnail combo performs compared to how they used to post videos; i imagine it must be some sort of positive difference if they haven't changed back yet. But for me personally, not having enough information on a video's title and/or thumbnail makes me 100% more likely to skip the video entirely :/ hell, some times i don't even recognize that a video is FROM the game grumps cause the thumbnail is just so drastically different from what i know them for

    Usually I roll my eyes at the clueless comments because you guys are multitasking and small errors are to be expected. It really is fine! But this episode the comments are warranted. xD Picking a blue orb when it shows you burning candles isn't just ignoring a tutorial, it's not even looking at what is happening on the screen RIGHT THERE. Even simple matching colors would have worked if you don't know what each orb is.

    I feel like the characters were generated in like the highest fidelity possible, then someone posed them, took screenshots, and the screenshots are what made it to the game. I think the slight shaking is actually just moving the camera around on the posed model, alternating back and forth like 5 degrees. It's very odd, but also it looks surprisingly good.

      I don't think it's bad, though. It's weird, but that's clearly the point, so whoever made this succeeded. Also, the writing is confusing, but never clunky. It's all very lyrical, like a nonsense poem or a rant a character from Midsummer Night's Dream would go on. No, I'm not literally calling it Shakespeare, I hope you get what I mean, why I'm kinda glad they played this even if they weren't into it.
      Oh, and yeah, you're right 100% on Roland. Cooool Cat 🐈
