If you really want to know why some people will never ever watch these videos, it's completely inefficient. It takes me a few minutes to read dozens and dozens of Codex posts. That means even a DraQ word swamp takes a couple of minutes max, because I'm not going to read it like one reads Hegel or something. In contrast, I have to either sit here and listen to some yokel um and ah and wa-hoowww forever to discover if he even has anything worth saying. And usually, chances are, they don't.

The only reason to watch a video is for the things I can only get from the video, like if I want to know how the game flows, the animations, etc. Which I can do by skipping around in a gameplay video in 30 seconds.

There seems to be a significant set of people who enjoy watching other people play games. I have never understood why. If I want to waste my time, I can play games, otherwise, I can go do something else.

That's fair, but some people do like watching them as another form of video entertainment, so that's why I post them here. I've attracted a few followers who will probably choose to remain nameless for fear of liking a vidya LP. But I get what you're saying.

The thing about an LP, for me, is mutual discovery. In my LPs, I discover sometimes interesting things while playing and relay that to the viewer. You will see things like minute details that may be missed by some, in action, or being discovered by me. It's not some amazing, mindblowing thing, but it can make the videos interesting when myself and the viewer are getting these little bits that you might miss if you're glossing over a gameplay video. That's why I personally enjoyed watching some LPs in the past (don't have time anymore) and why some viewers like watching them. It's the little things, IMO. And I like to go in depth about things like leveling up, balancing stats, why I'm using certain strategies and things like that, which are more little things that can perhaps make a Let's Play video interesting. I'm not in the camp of just yokeling, yelling and cursing at the screen to be entertaining, it's more of a methodical approach to appreciate game mechanics and the finer points of the game. Just some background info.

I've been told by one watcher that watching my videos has helped him learn a lot about the game and how to play it properly. That's a pretty cool compliment even though my LP is far, far from perfect.

Wa-how! The moment we've all been waiting for. In this episode I head to Stag Lord's fort and take on the man himself. It gets ugly, dirty and bloody, so put the children to bed before watching this one.

This is it...final showdown with Stag Lord, our first archnemesis. Watch in awe at how I struggle with the battle and then get lucky after a few reloads and finally win... OR DO I???

Ah, that's why we're seeing Fluent posts on the Dex again, guessed it could be another patreon or sub drive :D

Anyway, before deciding whether to watch/sub, I was wondering what sort of tone you'll be going for. For example, you're becoming quite well known for forthright opinions - fearlessly accusing devs of incompetence, running scams, using stolen assets, similar fonts... that sort of thing. Will you be doing this in your videos too? I feel this could make them quite exciting and differentiate you from the competition.

Keep up the good work :salute:

I post here because it's more active than RPGWatch. And I enjoy the silliness of seeing posts rated as shit and retadred. I could care less about gaining subs or patreon pledges, I don't even have monetization enabled on my videos. I like sharing my Let's Plays and some people here may be interested in them which is why I'm posting them.

Second, I only accused certain devs of incompetence and running a scam, and I try to keep negativity out of my videos. I only talk about the game I'm playing, nothing more. And if I'm wrong about those things I posted here I will gladly eat crow when an amazing game comes from it. But I do not plan on adding any talk like that to my videos.

Hell, if that Chaos Chronicles rebooted for the whatever-th time comes out great, I'll make videos for it singing its praises. But I have my doubts. These are only my opinions and do not reflect the opinions of the J Dumont YouTube channel. :positive:

Episode 15 is up. Finishing up some things after offing the Stag Lord and before claiming the barony for my own. Fights, fights and more fights. And a meticulous level up process.

Have to say, I'm a bit sad to hear that man. Can't help thinking some of these would be absolute gold in video form.

Isn't there a need in the scene for some sort of 'RPG Investigator', perhaps as a segment at the end of your videos? To put it another way, I've never watched the Alex Jones show, but I know about it as people talk about him, probably due to his airing a few controversial views. Imagine the subs if you pushed the boundaries a bit and became known as like the Alex Jones of RPGs.

Anyway, just a few thoughts from a fan. I'll leave it there as I don't want to distract you too much from your work on PK. :salute:

Episode 17 is up. In this one we handle some kingdom management stuff, learn a bit more about our buddy Tristian, fight demonic spiders and more. This is a good one to watch if you want to see some kingdom management and building in the early stages.

Episode 18 is up. This one is pretty cool as we do more kingdom management and building and also adventure a bit, finding a new companion in trouble trying to cross a river. Skill checks abound in this one.

In Episode 19 we meet a wiley mage who helps us with more information about the trolls whereabouts as we nerd about Golarion. :)

This is a great idea. Makes me wanna pay a voice actor to read those posts aloud and then overlay them over a fluent LP. Maybe throw in some creepy music for extra paranoia.

Episode 23 is up and the LP is chugging along. I have another 40+ episodes already recorded (sheesh, that's going to be a lot of editing...). In this one we do some cool stuff, like solve an encounter with a nixie and some woodsmen, explore and solve problems in a lizard folk village and then round it out with some exploring and fighting in a swamp where a witch lives. Cool stuff. :positive:

Ep. 25 is L-I-V-E! In this one we continue exploring and looking for treasure in the Dwarven Stronghold, which turns out to be quite an appealing and well-made dungeon. We also find a kobold artist painting with...well, you'll see in the video. :lol:
