@schmittd_11 @PumpMan999 i feel like ur last tweet denies the experience of goin ur whole life missing out on chances and bein left out to dry, by say a friend group, bc you can’t be popular/fit in. it manifests in these situations, whether for “fun” or a job interview, hence me caring about merit at all

@schmittd_11 @PumpMan999 u inspired me actually to make an off-the-cuff demo of what my vision for a cool commentary is. so this example is an explanation of the mechanic we were discussing in ak's chat t'other day. i imagined someone had gotten a crack quarterframe in bianco 5 https://youtu.be/M78V2VE-kcQ

@schmittd_11 @PumpMan999 i even did monologues like this in my race comms, cos i realised i didn't need to cover every level and it was better content to go deep. but lta is rly perfect for it cos it's essentially asynchronous. u rarely need to interrupt to comment on a breaking event

@schmittd_11 @PumpMan999 and over many hours, there aren't that many times where you're saying anything so deep. the key is diversity. focused stuff vs lightweight stuff (pace overviews, donations, chats about random life things etc.). there's time for it all

@schmittd_11 @PumpMan999 but in my experience, it's the insight that gets appreciated the most by even casual audiences. ppl who care about speedrunning at all tend to be the type to be interested. anyway i hope that clarifies the potential i see in lta commentary :)
