Given the setting has things like phonographs, pianos, early revolvers (pepper boxes), and a shed load of other things that are very 1800s I personally have always thought of it as being sort of pseudo modern no real time thing going on. Sort of like how disk world books do. So the look of the art in them is to me just how I thought the setting looked.
@@dittmar104 Well, in my generations campaign, magic and technology has advanced. As one... Steammancers are very powerful... Also steam locomotives designed to carry large amounts of currency, while being heavily armored.
i know they've probably stopped making these... but i still desperately want 'chill tunes to press flowers to' with ambient rolling thunder in the background
Yes! I desperately want any sort of new Mighty Vibes video. These are all truly works of art and much needed serotonin boosts! If not completing the rest of the M9 or VM crew, we need at least one video featuring Bells Hells members.
I love that Calebs line about Frumpkin finding a new best friend is alluding to Caleb finding a new best friend in Beau. Their relationship is among my favorite of the M9 as it is probably the most unlikely friendship brought about by circumstance. Liam is so damn good at subtle character development, I love it
I very much enjoy how neither of them sit in a normal way. Like Beau in the windowsill with a leg dangling petting frumpkin and Caleb just in an odd forward leaning position, i almost feel like he's sitting on one leg and leaning forward.
Yeah I was l trying to see when it happened it cause I was curious and have not life rn when he was recasting it and apparently every 6 minutes and Professor Thaddeus appears in the window every 6 minutes as well after his first appearance at 4:40
Can we take a moment to admire and appreciate how damn smooth the animation loop is? Look at Caleb’s fingers twirling the amber, the wisp of steam, Beau petting Frumpkin, all the little details... and those lighting effects my goodness. Critters be talented as hell. Hats off to the animators Kami and Kevin Areopagita 👏👏👏
My DM (my brother) told me and my cousins about a library called "The Mystic Archives of Sir Otonin" run by a retired wizard, Lady Lofai, where we could spend our downtime and search for clues for our next adventure and learn new spells. He played this song as background music as soon as we entered. We stayed in there for a long...long...time lol
@@dragonarchive7443 serotonin is a hormone released by the body that regulates mood and can produce a sense of relaxation and wellbeing - it's often thought of as "the happy hormone" along with dopamine :)
Nice to see two fictional characters that seem to genuinely vibe with each other in a non-romantic or forced way Edit: wtf guys, this was supposed to be about how their friendship feels natural and outside of the "oooooh, they're into each other because... idk, they hugged" stretch-shipping You guys need to chill out... in a chill tunes video... damn
little details to appreciate: Beau's book has the cover of the MN art book Beau is reading by Caleb's dancing lights The Tusktooth sticker on the vinyl player The round potion bottle bubbles and changes colors The arcane circle drawing lights up in different patterns Caleb's pieces of amber The art is just stupid gorgeous + basically a bunch of widogast™ spell components cupcake sprinkled with nothing suspicious at all Thadeus flies by occasionally mighty vibes vinyl logo made by the one and only arsequeef the pages caleb reads are actually changing occasional voice lines
0:09 Caleb: "Na dann mal los" (what could be transtlated to: "Okay, let's go" ) 2:36 Caleb: "Da schau an" (Oh, will you look at this/ Well, there you have it) 10:13 Caleb: "Anybody can make lights, anyone can send messages through a wire. I want to bend reality to my will" 12:36 Beau: "I needed this" 14:10 Beau: *giggles* "Bap Bap" 18:23 Caleb: "Looks like you found a new best friend Frumpkin" 23:59 Beau: "Does this count as meditating?" 35:10 Beau: "Frumpkin, you are okay I guess" 42:08 Caleb: "Bet she's not missing that owl now" 47:46 Beau: "Wonder what Keg is up to" 51:52 "Ok, I think I have what I need, now to meet the rest of the Nein" (52:00 End) Gotta say his pronounciation is on point. Love from a chilling zemnian Don't forget to love each other. Check out Honna music, chase northworthy and autumm orange for more cr lofi music
For anyone interested, check out Autumm Orange, his Lofi music is my life. It is so good, so far there are two Fjord 'ablums', one jester, one caleb and a Caduceus sample, more comming up.
ngl, i kinda hope that with the mighty nein reunited special, caleb might finally reach lvl 17 and may be able to learn wish(i firmly believe thats what the line was foreshadowing)
I listened to this before I started watching Campaign 2, which had me coming into it with some funny preconceptions. For example, I thought Keg was the owl's(Thaddeus') name.
I absolutely love that Beau is reading the MN art book which is officially filled with correspondence between Beauregard and the archivists of the Cobalt Soul in Wildemount. This means she is reading through her own thoughts and opinions on their travels as the Mighty Nein!!! Also licorice root!
Hope we can get one with Molly and Yasha from their circus days. Like Molly sorting and painting his tarot cards and Yasha sharpening and cleaning her sword while the others in their old troop are working on the tent in the background
My poor little artist nerd heart is going to explode, d&d, lofi AND top notch animation??? The animation whenever Beau or Caleb flips a page and especially when Caleb resummons the lights are SO gorgeous! The atmosphere is so nice 🥺❤️
I truly envy people who have the patience and persistence to get good at visual art. Not only is the style beautiful, but Beau and Caleb both feel so natural in this scene, like they were pulled straight from the minds of Marisha and Liam. Keep up the good work Critters!
just throwing this out into the universe - an Essek Thelyss one of these with Rosohna vibes would be a dream come true Edit: !!!or one of all the Pumats just making things together in his shop
The seamless way this channel has been able to pivot with it's content since the lockdown is a testament to the verstaility and creativity of the whole team behind ths channel and I just want to say you should all be very proud of what you've been able to create here.
100% this, though i really sympathize with the current campaign being steadily released (Although i am but 3 episodes from being current and it has helped me catch up), I really appreciate as well what came out of it, the AWNP Unpee'ds, Narrative Telephones, Lofi beats are all just amazing ideas for us to kinda bask in the energy of the channel even though the campaign is on hold. I really hope that the whole team is doing well in spite of all this and that once it is safe to gather again, they will have the energy to come back in full force. Don't forget to love each other guys!! :D
I was talking to my husband about this today and how much of a badass creative Marisha is that they were able to make the transition and keep putting out stellar content despite everything going on. The whole team is just on point all the time. We are lucky to have them.
Since I was young I always new I wanted to work in storytelling.... now I'm a VFX artist and indie game developer. For the longest time I was worried that my profession was not important.... if we had to cut down to the essentials in a national or global crisis my job would be the first. With age I've realized that fantasy is more important even in times of crisis. It's a place for us to retreat to and learn from... coming back to reality stronger. In WW1 Tolkien had Middle Earth, in WW2 America had comics. Don't feel guilty for escaping into your games, films, or RPGs.... use it to come back with renewed strength to face the world.
Actually, thank you. I "escape" into worlds of fiction a lot when reality seems too dark, too tough and too meaningless. Fiction re-ignites and helps me regain energy to "fight on" in the real world. Thank you. Fiction and art are some of the more beautiful aspects of human nature, and they help. A lot. Keep up your vfx and Indie game work, we need art and good story-telling to really feel alive! Your work is important too
This is so, so true, and so powerful! It's exactly why Critical Role, The Legend of Zelda series, and books have become so important to me. Especially working at the hospital through the pandemic.
whenever its too hard to study or work, i put this on and imagine im also studying in the library with the empire kids and it always motivates me enough to start.
I love the little voicelines sprinkled in. Makes it feel less lonely when sitting around working on my campaign or just driving and vibing to the music.Makes things feel a lot less lonely and like I'm just studying with a friend! Also the animation quality is amazing! Excellent job! Keep all the amazing work all you beautiful beings!
@@blackthornss They do add a bit of a feeling of other people being not too far away while I work on a campaign. Normally voice tracks throw me off, but these ones work well.
Lines and a few loops of animation I loved very much 0:00 Dancing lights (goes out every 3 minutes) 0:09 Caleb: Na dann mal los (eng. Here we go) 2:44 I want a potion that spontaneously changes color too (loops every 1-2 minutes) 2:36 Caleb: Da schau an (eng. Well, look at that) 4:37 Fucking Professor Thaddeus (flies by every 5 minutes or so) 10:12 Caleb: Anybody can make lights. Anyone can send messages through a wire. I want to bend reality to my will. 11:54 Beau yawns (this cuteness happens every 5-ish minutes I think) 12:36 Beau: I needed this. 14:09 Beau: Pop pop! 18:22 Caleb: Looks like you found a new best friend, Frumpkin. 23:58 Beau: Does this count as meditating? 35:10 Beau: Frumpkin, you’re ok I guess. 42:07 Caleb: Bet she’s not missing that owl now. 47:45 Beau: I wonder what Keg is up to… 51:51 Caleb: Okay, I think I have that I need… Now to meet the rest of the Nein. I still lack the patience to focus enough to write down the arcane circle's pattern, but I'm sure quarantine will make me do it sooner or later. Stay safe!
I love all the mighty vibes mixes, but since school started up again a few weeks ago I keep returning to this one and I think I've figured out why: the visual composition of this video makes you feel like you're sitting at the table with Caleb & Beau, whereas in the others you feel more like an observer or a witness. It feels as if you're in this library with them, like you're all in the same study group :")
This is so beautiful and stuffed with small details! The blueberry muffin, the spell components, the magic lights being recast, the portion that bubbles and changes colour, the magic circle illuminating in different patterns, the tusktooth sticker, Beau casually stroking the cat while reading, and ofc Professor Tadeus' flyby at 4:39ish. I'm in love with this! Congrats to the creators!
Small detail that I think is super cool I just noticed, if you look at Caleb's eyes, you can literally see them go down the left page, then go back up to the left, then down that page and flip to the next one, this animation is gorgeous and I love it.
I gotta say, I love this album, mainly because the way I see it, the soft chill music is Caleb studying quietly, while the soft but consistent beat is Beau reading in the back. Together they come together to form some absolute bangers!!! Thank you mighty vibes!!
I *was* procrastinating studying all day today but NOPE, JUST KIDDING, I HAVE MY SPELL BOOK OUT AND OPEN AND I'M READY TO STUDY TO "Mighty Vibes" VIBES. Thank you, Critical Role, for keeping dem kids in school.
I could see it being a Hupperdook invention. Tiny glyphs inscribed on a disk holding information for audible minor illusions which can be read and projected when placed in a special device. Some disks might even contain visual information, projecting a series of still images as it plays. However, developing disks and players that can do both at once has so far been held back due to the more expensive enchantments being difficult to market. I really need to play some D&D.
Okay, so you've probably already got more ideas, but for other characters, what about Fjord and Caduceus meditating, Veth and her husband working in an alchemical lab together, and then maybe Yasha looking out at a storm. Those seem like they'd fit those characters easily enough for this sort of theming.
they should do one of yasha just chilling in the rain with some rain sounds and distant lightning mixed with the lo fi i think that would be the vibe but I also like the idea that @Buddhabright has of Jester and Yasha painting.
The moment when your brain just hears the start.. and you.. just remembers that Caleb speaks Zemnian... and it just confuses the heck of your brain because you're npt used to hear german in english types of videos 🤣🤣🤣
The voice samples are at: 0:09 Caleb - "Na dann mal lo" 2:35 Caleb - "Da schau an" 10:12 Caleb - "Anybody can make lights, anyone can send messages to a wire. I want to bend reality to my will" 12:36 Beau - "I needed this" 14:10 Beau - "Buppup" 18:22 Caleb - "Looks like you've found a new best friend Frumpkin" 24:02 Beau - "Does this count as meditating" 35:10 Beau - "Frumpkin, you're okay I guess" 42:07 Caleb - "Bet she's not missing that owl now" 47:48 Beau - "I wonder what Keg is up to" 51:50 Caleb - "I think i have what I need, now to meet the rest of the Nein"
Five minutes in and I love this already! All of the loving details in this loop breathe life into these three. The effortlessly casual casting is the icing on the slayer's cake!
Hearing that "I want to bend reality to my will" line again makes me hope Matt maybe buffs Time Stop so Caleb has a stronger incentive to take it. Maybe make it so that only directly harming a creature ends the spell early, make all stopped creatures paralyzed, and possibly stop time for instead 1d4 + Int mod number of rounds, and suddenly the spell is actually worthy of being 9th level. You can buff allies, debuff enemies, put a rock over a guy, pull people out of danger, etc.
I love all the Lofi Beat compilations from CR, but I have to say that this one is definitely my favorite. I normally feel completely lost with the schoolwork I do, but I just put this on and it doesn't feel like a chore any more... There are plenty of other Lofi Beat comps to do with other characters, but I genuinely hope that another is done like this one.
I absolutely love all of the little details as well as the fact that its them after their character development and you can see it. Massive props to the Creator
The hand animation for casting dancing lights is SO BEAUTIFUL. I'm obsessed with this whole piece/animation, but I sat watching, waiting for it to happen again. Incredible. Kami, you did an incredible job.
0:09 Caleb: "Na dann mal los" (what could be transtlated to: "Okay, let's go" ) 2:36 Caleb: "Da schau an" (Oh, will you look at this/ Well, there you have it) 10:13 Caleb: "Anybody can make lights, anyone can send messages through a wire. I want to bend reality to my will" 12:36 Beau: "I needed this" 14:10 Beau: giggles "Bap Bap" 18:23 Caleb: "Looks like you found a new best friend Frumpkin" 23:59 Beau: "Does this count as meditating?" 35:10 Beau: "Frumpkin, you are okay I guess" 42:08 Caleb: "Bet she's not missing that owl now" 47:46 Beau: "Wonder what Keg is up to" 51:52 "Ok, I think I have what I need, now to meet the rest of the Nein"
And yet my crush on caleb continues!!!!! I just noticed he keeps recasting dancing lights and the voice tracks are made to sound like his inner monologue... At around 4:39 outside the window.. is that the professor? 10:15 .... You are welcome
@@Nyxlave The events in the video happen much further in the future based on the showcased technology, so how do you know if Caleb doesn't possess an item that extends spell duration and multiclassed into sorcerer to add extend spell metamagic to dancing lights? >:P
Wasn't Caleb always hot though? That was Liam's whole aesthetic for Caleb, a diamond in the rough, kind of look. His glowup was obviously huge after cleaning himself up.
I love the attention to detail in all the small objects on the table! - the coil of copper wire for Message - the blueberry muffin (surely from Jester) - the jar of licorice roots for Haste - the amber pieces for Vault of Ember - the clay paw for Hearthen Grasp and (possibly) the sprigs of catmint for Cat's Ire And if you squint hard enough it seems Beau is reading a book about Exandria!
Caleb is so absolutely perfect. Thank you Liam for developing such an amazing, wonderful, beautifully broken character. I absolutely live to watch his development. From your neighborhood writer, ilysm tysm.
For whoever gets the comment notifications, just want to share that this has been so helpful and peaceful during pandemic chaos. My husband introduced me to CR and now I'm much deeper into the lore than he is and I'm loving getting to chill with the CR characters. Also... the crackle of the record before the music begins... the details are perfect!
Next up, chill sea shanties to steer your ship to starring Fjord
Or Heretical Beats to find a new god to starting fjord and Yasha
Chill beats to meditate to feat. Fjord and Caduceus
Sea shanties? Go check out The Dreadnaughts new album
The silent gripping void to eat swords to.
Kinda want a Zemnian version of VA-11 Hall-A now.
Cannot wait for Fjords one where its just him struggling with push ups lmao
I hope that’s part of it 😂
it would probably be him and Cad meditating but Fjord is failing and keeps peeking if Cad is still meditating
@@ldavepedrialva my thought exactly. can't wait
There are two Crit Role Lo-Fi albums about Fjord produced by Autumn Orange. I highly recommend his work.
@@ldavepedrialva Not a bad alternative if true, tho personally would like a mix of both tbh.
I love the pseudo-modern look that both this one and the Jester one have. It's a good look for this type of thing.
Now I'm hoping C3, has a huge time skip.
Eh, a huge time skip might leave alot to interpretation.... Let them flow the boat. Like a Generations Campaign.

Had to take my like back to leave it at 69
Listen to this person. They have the correct opinion. No further discussion needed
Also look at Calebs face, he switches between reading the left page over to the right page, the little nuances are amazing!
Jester's Sketchbook oh yeah I’ve had sad wizard vibes going on repeats while I’ve been studying for finals 😂❤️
Caleb WOULD insist on listening to his jams on vinyl.
Suture Widogast’s circular music maker
Well, yes, he is a civilized man after all
Caleb always seemed more the wax cylinder type to me
Vinyl iz better quality, Ja?

With age I've realized that fantasy is more important even in times of crisis. It's a place for us to retreat to and learn from... coming back to reality stronger. In WW1 Tolkien had Middle Earth, in WW2 America had comics. Don't feel guilty for escaping into your games, films, or RPGs.... use it to come back with renewed strength to face the world.
This! :)
Actually, thank you. I "escape" into worlds of fiction a lot when reality seems too dark, too tough and too meaningless. Fiction re-ignites and helps me regain energy to "fight on" in the real world. Thank you. Fiction and art are some of the more beautiful aspects of human nature, and they help. A lot. Keep up your vfx and Indie game work, we need art and good story-telling to really feel alive! Your work is important too
This is so, so true, and so powerful! It's exactly why Critical Role, The Legend of Zelda series, and books have become so important to me. Especially working at the hospital through the pandemic.
I want to be an artist so this is a really nice thing to hear, thank you!!! :)
It looks like Beau is sitting in the windowsill, but I like to imagine she’s just doin a wall sit the whole time
This is so smooth! Would love to see a "Matt Mercer planning his TPK" version, as he chills behind the DM screen.
Beau and Caleb in this animation reminds me of the episode where Caleb was going crazy that Beau wanted to stay in the library and research :D
What episode was that??
Beau kicking her leg a little and petting Frumpkin is such a great touch I love this!!!
Cad, Beau and Fjord could meditate together, or Cad could cook with Jester or garden with Yasha. Cad could go with everyone
My guess is that they'll have fjord and Yasha together and maybe Nott and Cad?
whenever its too hard to study or work, i put this on and imagine im also studying in the library with the empire kids and it always motivates me enough to start.
12:36 i will never not love how marisha says "i needed this", i know she's a voice actor but ugh i love her voice
I love the little voicelines sprinkled in. Makes it feel less lonely when sitting around working on my campaign or just driving and vibing to the music.Makes things feel a lot less lonely and like I'm just studying with a friend! Also the animation quality is amazing! Excellent job! Keep all the amazing work all you beautiful beings!
exactly! theyre just right, not loud enough to be distracting or immersion breaking, but enough to feel like you have company.
@@blackthornss They do add a bit of a feeling of other people being not too far away while I work on a campaign. Normally voice tracks throw me off, but these ones work well.
I love these so much, and I hope they don't stop doing them when life gets more normal.
Aww, you're adorable. You think life is going to return to normal. ;-P
@@azdgariarada Yep world world 4 right around the corner, evolution's stopping too.
@@jimmygames5557 I hear the aliens plan to invade in a few years too.
@@Sorestlor Really? I thought the xeno scum already controlled our government and were responsible for the coronavirus, no?
@@azdgariarada For the record, I never said back to normal. I said more normal.
Lines and a few loops of animation I loved very much
0:00 Dancing lights (goes out every 3 minutes)
0:09 Caleb: Na dann mal los (eng. Here we go)
2:44 I want a potion that spontaneously changes color too (loops every 1-2 minutes)
2:36 Caleb: Da schau an (eng. Well, look at that)
4:37 Fucking Professor Thaddeus (flies by every 5 minutes or so)
10:12 Caleb: Anybody can make lights. Anyone can send messages through a wire. I want to bend reality to my will.
11:54 Beau yawns (this cuteness happens every 5-ish minutes I think)
12:36 Beau: I needed this.
14:09 Beau: Pop pop!
18:22 Caleb: Looks like you found a new best friend, Frumpkin.
23:58 Beau: Does this count as meditating?
35:10 Beau: Frumpkin, you’re ok I guess.
42:07 Caleb: Bet she’s not missing that owl now.
47:45 Beau: I wonder what Keg is up to…
51:51 Caleb: Okay, I think I have that I need… Now to meet the rest of the Nein.
I still lack the patience to focus enough to write down the arcane circle's pattern, but I'm sure quarantine will make me do it sooner or later. Stay safe!
40:40 Guest Appearance of Professor Thaddeus in window
this should be pinned, i mean wow
The changing color potion is on 2:42 though
@@fernandorobert1631 ah thanks for pointing that out!
Awesome work
Oh look, a relaxing video!
Caleb: I WANT TO BEND REALITY TO MY WILL.
so relaxing XD
I love all the mighty vibes mixes, but since school started up again a few weeks ago I keep returning to this one and I think I've figured out why: the visual composition of this video makes you feel like you're sitting at the table with Caleb & Beau, whereas in the others you feel more like an observer or a witness. It feels as if you're in this library with them, like you're all in the same study group :")
We need a Mollymauk one. "Chill beats to be absolutely fabulous to."
Chill beats to die to.
A Nerd Who Writes Essays JUST ONE COMMENT WHERE WE CAN PRETEND HE DIDN’T DIE THATS ALL IM ASKING FOR
k but how does this only have 76 likes, PUMP THIS UP WE NEED IT !!!
@@beepboop2816 "Chill beats to be definitely not dead and very alive to"
I came here to see the animation, stayed for the music.
This is so beautiful and stuffed with small details!
The blueberry muffin, the spell components, the magic lights being recast, the portion that bubbles and changes colour, the magic circle illuminating in different patterns, the tusktooth sticker, Beau casually stroking the cat while reading, and ofc Professor Tadeus' flyby at 4:39ish. I'm in love with this!
Congrats to the creators!
I was at 4:36 when I read this, looked just in time to see it
i just saw Thaddeus at 34:44 ! I freakin' called it.
@@geylforcewynd nice catch!
Caleb and Beau studying together is the best vibe
Small detail that I think is super cool I just noticed, if you look at Caleb's eyes, you can literally see them go down the left page, then go back up to the left, then down that page and flip to the next one, this animation is gorgeous and I love it.
Tiny hut, up
Wire, up
Watch, up
Yep it's chill time
Record discs are a thing on exandria thanks to Hazel Copperpot
Technically wax cylinders, but I'm sure in the 10 years in-between she developed the technology.
The amount of immediate joy when I saw this notification was off the charts
Honestly whoever did mighty vibes deserves a raise.
I gotta say, I love this album, mainly because the way I see it, the soft chill music is Caleb studying quietly, while the soft but consistent beat is Beau reading in the back. Together they come together to form some absolute bangers!!! Thank you mighty vibes!!
I *was* procrastinating studying all day today but NOPE, JUST KIDDING, I HAVE MY SPELL BOOK OUT AND OPEN AND I'M READY TO STUDY TO "Mighty Vibes" VIBES.
Thank you, Critical Role, for keeping dem kids in school.
So record discs are real in exandria, neat
Cannon
Didn't the last one have Jester with an MP3 player? I don't think these are canon lol
It's a... a.... right a special magical item! Prototype from Pumat :D
We can probably thank Hazel for the invention of the record player
I could see it being a Hupperdook invention. Tiny glyphs inscribed on a disk holding information for audible minor illusions which can be read and projected when placed in a special device. Some disks might even contain visual information, projecting a series of still images as it plays. However, developing disks and players that can do both at once has so far been held back due to the more expensive enchantments being difficult to market. I really need to play some D&D.
Heck yeah! I love the little comments sprinkled in
Same
Maybe check out autumm ornage, he did a lot of Lofi music with comments from the campaign, I love his stuff
Merit Engler OH MAN thank you! It’s awesome!!
See what you did there
I absolutely adore the artwork for this one. Blue and orange are an underrated colour combination and this captures it perfectly.
Nearly 4 years later, still one of my favourite compilations of Lofi beats
I love how Caleb had to recast Dancing Lights throughout this.
a nice detail is that the cantrip lasts 3 minutes and it’s looped for that exact amount
Oh I love Widogast's tunes of Chilling, my favorite spell!
Okay, so you've probably already got more ideas, but for other characters, what about Fjord and Caduceus meditating, Veth and her husband working in an alchemical lab together, and then maybe Yasha looking out at a storm. Those seem like they'd fit those characters easily enough for this sort of theming.
Possibly Yasha and Jester painting on her bedroom wall as an alternate suggestion.
Or Yasha looking out at the sky with molly being in the stars
they should do one of yasha just chilling in the rain with some rain sounds and distant lightning mixed with the lo fi i think that would be the vibe but I also like the idea that @Buddhabright has of Jester and Yasha painting.
They could have Yasha and Molly laying out in a field as the circus sets up their tent in the background!
I’m sure they’ve got ideas. They play the characters, after all.
I love how it just casually says to study/Transcribe magic to. The Crit Role Team have such a fun way to add a little magic to everything.

I love you. You saved me so much work...
I feel like I really recognize the tune from Slow Boat. Have I just listened to this too many times or does it sample from something I'd know?
I've been hoping for this listing for ages, thank you so much!
+
The moment when your brain just hears the start.. and you.. just remembers that Caleb speaks Zemnian... and it just confuses the heck of your brain because you're npt used to hear german in english types of videos 🤣🤣🤣
As a native speaker I had the exact same moment :D
Can't wait for the rest of the mighty nein! Seeing them going about in the day is very nice in the animation and relaxing.
This is Volume 1, too, so who knows we might be getting Machina Vibes too
The voice samples are at:
0:09 Caleb - "Na dann mal lo"
2:35 Caleb - "Da schau an"
10:12 Caleb - "Anybody can make lights, anyone can send messages to a wire. I want to bend reality to my will"

@Heirh Hejeje thank you
Bro you've been tracking these nearly exactly as I've been listening to them
Thank you very much to make something I can listen to while editing videos! ❤️
Hello Honey bunches
I know this man! interesting
same!
Wow. Wouldn't have expected to see you here, but hi!
I see you study the darkest kind of magic
why is the looped animation on this so SMOOTH
Five minutes in and I love this already! All of the loving details in this loop breathe life into these three. The effortlessly casual casting is the icing on the slayer's cake!
The interstitial audio lines really make these some of my favorite and have had me coming back to the previous one more than my usual tracks.
Frumpkin is arguably the most chill member of this photo. He's living the life :D
Hearing that "I want to bend reality to my will" line again makes me hope Matt maybe buffs Time Stop so Caleb has a stronger incentive to take it. Maybe make it so that only directly harming a creature ends the spell early, make all stopped creatures paralyzed, and possibly stop time for instead 1d4 + Int mod number of rounds, and suddenly the spell is actually worthy of being 9th level. You can buff allies, debuff enemies, put a rock over a guy, pull people out of danger, etc.
I can’t listen to the campaigns at work because I get too distracted so this is perfect.
"You notice how that cantrip lasted three minutes? I call it Widogast's Dancing Lights."
I demand one with Molly.
Wait, never mind. Molly probably can’t sit down quietly for more than five minutes
You're absolutely right. I fully believe that Molly painted all those tarot cards in five minute increments only.
Lerinn now I feel dumb.
Also, I miss Molly
probably be a movement mix to dance to
Molly chilling in a bathhouse would be great
These are some fire beats Caleb, wait.....
I love all the Lofi Beat compilations from CR, but I have to say that this one is definitely my favorite. I normally feel completely lost with the schoolwork I do, but I just put this on and it doesn't feel like a chore any more... There are plenty of other Lofi Beat comps to do with other characters, but I genuinely hope that another is done like this one.
I absolutely love all of the little details as well as the fact that its them after their character development and you can see it. Massive props to the Creator
I appreciate the light effects from dancing lights
The two best Characters (in my opinion) just reading.
I needed this so much
I need more of this, oh so much more, it really makes you feel like you're studying with them in a cosy afternoon-
The hand animation for casting dancing lights is SO BEAUTIFUL. I'm obsessed with this whole piece/animation, but I sat watching, waiting for it to happen again. Incredible. Kami, you did an incredible job.
can't wait for when the adlib is just caleb saying "Eldridge Blaësd"
I hope these continue after things get a bit more back to normal. So good to chill and play games with.
Perfect for a short rest and arcane recovery...
This one is still my favorite mighty vibes to be released to date
0:09 Caleb: "Na dann mal los" (what could be transtlated to: "Okay, let's go" )
2:36 Caleb: "Da schau an" (Oh, will you look at this/ Well, there you have it)
10:13 Caleb: "Anybody can make lights, anyone can send messages through a wire. I want to bend reality to my will"
12:36 Beau: "I needed this"
14:10 Beau: giggles "Bap Bap"
18:23 Caleb: "Looks like you found a new best friend Frumpkin"
23:59 Beau: "Does this count as meditating?"
35:10 Beau: "Frumpkin, you are okay I guess"
42:08 Caleb: "Bet she's not missing that owl now"
47:46 Beau: "Wonder what Keg is up to"
51:52 "Ok, I think I have what I need, now to meet the rest of the Nein"
I literally return to this video every time I am studying now, I know it's cliche but the beats really just put me in that kind of mood.
And yet my crush on caleb continues!!!!! I just noticed he keeps recasting dancing lights and the voice tracks are made to sound like his inner monologue... At around 4:39 outside the window.. is that the professor?
10:15 .... You are welcome
Prof thaddy strikes again
Sadly, the dancing lights go out every three minutes, instead of every minute, like the spell's duration. That would have been a nice touch.
@@Nyxlave The events in the video happen much further in the future based on the showcased technology, so how do you know if Caleb doesn't possess an item that extends spell duration and multiclassed into sorcerer to add extend spell metamagic to dancing lights? >:P
@@LordDragox412 Wizard/Sorcerer multiclass sounds op.... Imma try that one day
@@Nyxlave I was thinking the same thing. Really goes to show you how annoying it would be to have to cast it every minute.
I would absolutely love a vinyl pressing of all of these.
This animation is gorgeous!
And oh no Caleb is hot in this
Let's face it, Caleb's hot regardless
Wasn't Caleb always hot though? That was Liam's whole aesthetic for Caleb, a diamond in the rough, kind of look. His glowup was obviously huge after cleaning himself up.
DaBezz to be fair though Caleb has always been hot
Wet Willy AMEN!! rags to riches 😊 best glow up
I love the attention to detail in all the small objects on the table!
- the coil of copper wire for Message
- the blueberry muffin (surely from Jester)
- the jar of licorice roots for Haste
- the amber pieces for Vault of Ember
- the clay paw for Hearthen Grasp and (possibly) the sprigs of catmint for Cat's Ire
And if you squint hard enough it seems Beau is reading a book about Exandria!
Liam's voice is so perfect for this type of chill music
Caleb is so absolutely perfect. Thank you Liam for developing such an amazing, wonderful, beautifully broken character. I absolutely live to watch his development. From your neighborhood writer, ilysm tysm.
The blueberry muffin sitting next to Caleb was a nice touch. You gotta try the black moss sometime man!
Ambient sounds to carve wood to. A chetney one with the occasional wolf howl going through it would be amazing 😭
you mind is amazing
Agreed…
I REALLY wish they could continue making these. 😭😭😭
Its always fascinating to hear Liam/Caleb speaking German/Zemnian without any accent. :) *Smiles in Zemniam*
For whoever gets the comment notifications, just want to share that this has been so helpful and peaceful during pandemic chaos. My husband introduced me to CR and now I'm much deeper into the lore than he is and I'm loving getting to chill with the CR characters. Also... the crackle of the record before the music begins... the details are perfect!
