LYRICS
We cannot know
The how or the where
But because you’re my heir
It’ll soon be your turn
Your time to rule
Indefinitely
But to be a good king
I have a few things
You should learn
When you feel like you don’t know where to go, don’t despair
You’ll find a claim somewhere
And should you need to hook a friend into your plot
That’s technically not…
Tyranny
There’s the key
You have to maintain
Deniability
It’s crazy
How the entire world de jure belongs to me
Some won’t approve of you rewriting history, or
The conquests that you’ve led
If they strike first, it’s not technically tyranny
When they wind up dead
La da da da da da
Da da da da da dee da
Da da da da dee da
Da da da
(x2)
Do what needs to be done
Dynasties must go on, but
Demand a plan you can commit to
Murder your only son
Or just frame him for one?
(And take some other kid!)
Like how I ended up with…
You know, the way you see me
It’s like you see some tyrant king
But I’m the same dreadful king that you will be
And that’s technically a different thing
Have some faith
Like the one I made
To subjugate all my foes
You can do that!
Go all medieval on
The people you want
To see oppressed
(It’s Venice)
I wonder who wins
When their virtues become your sins?
Go ahead, take a guess
Now you could disagree with the things that I’ve said
You could be good instead
But I don’t see why you’d want to deal with all that stress
La da da da da da
Da da da da da dee da
Da da da da dee da
Da da da
(x4)

I'm so impressed by the... everything. Between the virtual set (impressively done and integrated), the surprising performance by Kyle and even the makeup which fooled me into thinking Kyle has spent weeks growing a minimal mustache, it's simply impressive. Now, if I could follow the lyrics to determine the quality of the writing itself... Alas, my brain fails to comprehend words when they're found in a musical context.

[@rinastar1952]

There are lyrics in the description.

[@ReziahT]

COVID has me trying so hard to provide video content for my students and I am struggling and pulling my hair out to try and do something that is so far out of my job description in order to keep my students entertained, but these videos both give me confidence and also deep loathing. I'm over here hating that I can't get rid of mouth sounds in my videos and you're here pulling off Hamilton lol. You've all come so far and it gives me hope.

[@KaylaKasel]

Maybe a stupid question, but, have you tried pop filters? They're supposed to help with mouth sounds and rougher consonant sounds, and they're something you attach to a microphone.

[@ReziahT]

@@KaylaKasel I'd love to get one but we are working with a negative budget. They're cutting jobs left right and centre let alone giving us anything to work with so unfortunately most of the filming is just done on teachers phones using earbuds as the microphone and if we need stock footage it's coming out of our own pockets. It's not bad quality, it's just not as good as what students are used to with their favourite KZbinrs so it feels a bit disappointing.

[@tylerphuoc2653]

Ombro Pop filters are mostly to prevent debris from the mouth and popping sounds from getting to the microphone if it's directly in front of your mouth. If it's to the side, like in the remote/mike combo of a lot of earbuds, then there really isn't any effect that a pop filter will make. The mike is to the side of your face, so whatever sounds are coming through is as good as it gets. The kids can see the effort that you're putting through. I doubt they ever expected the quality of collaborative KZbinr teams (or hundreds of dollars of gear) and a disclaimer should be enough. I know that there were no alternatives back then, so I appreciated the extra medium of material covered.

[@megamanx466]

Another idea might be to make one with some sort of circular frame with a thin sheet of a pantyhose pulled over it to put between you and the microphone. That's ultimately what many pop filters look like to me. :P

[@tylerphuoc2653]

MegaMan X A lot of people make pop filters with spare socks or cloth. Pantyhose is also a cheap dollar store candidate, I guess.

Legit wasn’t expecting that. To quote Iago from Aladdin pretending to be Jafar, “no really, on a scale from one to ten, YOU, are an eleven.”

It's like a Weird Al soundalike parody.

Still a bop, and now with added knowledge that you can solve the tyranny with cool swords and making people jesters

[@Paladin585]

Dang, Kyle can sing! Good video, other devs take note THIS is how you promote a game, I am genuinely interested in what this game is about now.

[@twistedtachyon5877]

Not tyranny, that's for sure!

[@michaelroach2959]

I have to imagine Kyle creates Venice even in games it doesn't canonically exist in, just so he can denounce it again.

[@william-michaelellis6533]

Creative, funny, topical, doesn't look like the company is holding a gun to your head for you to talk about it. I love this. :D

I love Many A True Nerd's face.

This was ten times more effective advertising than an actual trailer for me 😂

We cannot know The how or the where But because you’re my heir It’ll soon be your turn Your time to rule Indefinitely But to be a good king I have a few things You should learn When you feel like you don’t know where to go, don’t despair You’ll find a claim somewhere And should you need to hook a friend into your plot That’s technically not… Tyranny There’s the key You have to maintain Deniability It’s crazy How the entire world de jure belongs to me Some won’t approve of you rewriting history, or The conquests that you’ve led If they strike first, it’s not technically tyranny When they wind up dead La da da da da da Da da da da da dee da Da da da da dee da Da da da (x2) Do what needs to be done Dynasties must go on, but Demand a plan you can commit to Murder your only son Or just frame him for one? (And take some other kid!) Like how I ended up with… You know, the way you see me It’s like you see some tyrant king But I’m the same dreadful king that you will be And that’s technically a different thing Have some faith Like the one I made To subjugate all my foes You can do that! Go all medieval on The people you want To see oppressed (It’s Venice) I wonder who wins When their virtues become your sins? Go ahead, take a guess Now you could disagree with the things that I’ve said You could be good instead But I don’t see why you’d want to deal with all that stress La da da da da da Da da da da da dee da Da da da da dee da Da da da (x4)

The way you implemented Hamilton in a CKIII skit is a genius skit. Bravo.

[@aglazeddoughnut5250]

The Cinematography in this is incredible. Just thought I’d say, it fits so well.
