I stared nervously at the loading bar, on the precipice of either auto-saving or crashing down upon the desktop littered with icons. Seemingly subconsciously, I scrolled to the depths of a comment section within what appeared to be what some call youtube. My anxiety rose, as the loading bar seemingly appeared to stall - dramatically - just at the precipice. Averting my gaze, I noted a jape by Count Noctilus, threatening to draw my attention into a momentous maelstrom, only to be saved by the auto-save completing and the end turn beginning to crawl by, despite the modifications that had been devised within the Workshop of Steam. The camera was momentarily transfixed, as Count Noctilus had seemingly alt-tabbed himself to follow me, abandoning his siege of Lothern to sail up the river of ash, striking deep into the still heart of Khemri. With auto-resolve in my heart, the scion of Sylvania seemingly retreated back to the youtube comment section, leaving no apparent sign of his appearance, but a Leadership bonus for sea battles, seemingly taunting me as I turned in the direction most know, as southward, to the distinctly land-based threat of Prince Imrik's aerial assault.

Having seen the magnus archives, the name thing hit home. Tma has alot of reoccurring characters and sometimes it can be hard to remember where you’ve heard a name before, especially when they’ve only been mentioned once before and didn’t seem particularly important the first time. Tbf though, they usually try to do something to remind you when it’s not just a background reference. It also doesn’t help that there’s two reoccurring characters named Michael, one named Gerard(pronounced jared), and one named jared.

Missy Cat Okay, we like to riff on TMA for the three michaels, but to be honest they do a good job of making it clear which Michael it is. At one point they explicitly clarify for Jon’s (and the audience’s) sake that it’s Mike Crew not Michael. But yeah, there is definitely times where you don’t realize they’re talking about a reoccurring character (Gerry I’m so sorry-)

They had to start introducing limits very quickly - people could only de X number of hours total cos a couple of people crashed their REAL car thinking it would just end the simulation; they were tired and wanted to stop.

As I finished watching the video, and having expressed my opinion of it in the comments, I quickly realized how few subscribers this youtuber had, despite his regularly-uploaded content being well-thought and highly entertaining. So I decided that I would make yet another comment, no matter how uncharacteristic of me that would be, in the hopes that it could convince other equally-minded individuals to do the same, and to feed the algorithm. Sure, there was no guarantee that it could have much of an impact, though it would be, however, the only way for me to begin repaying my enjoyment.
