What I said in my comment: "Hey High Rollers! I stopped watching Aerois at like episode 140 as I started watching 4 years late and it was clear catching up was impossible and I started taking the bus which prevented my mom & from listening to this and Nights of Eveningstar on the way home. "Anyways, I just wanted to say that I love ya'll and am hyped to have another campaign. This time, I'm not starting well over 100 episodes behind lol. "But anyways, I listened to 5 episodes of Eveningstar the day I first had my covid vax, as well as with my mom a lot in the car 2 years ago and it helped me get through life where I had been placed in a" special ed" school I didn't belong at for a year. And you guys have really helped with my depression and made me happier in general. "I hope ya'll keep playing even when you're all old and grey, because I'll still watch and I'm sure many others will. I love you guys, thanks for everything! :)"

Caught this in the middle of the campaign and decided to come back to episode 1 to catch all the character's stories.

Now the Twitch channel needs you to be subbed to view it there so I did that but I can't download uncut episode anymore T---T I hope the High Rollers Crew doesn't cut the donations and funny stuff away again.
