I just wanted to thank you Charlie. The LASO challenge was the thing that sparked my streaming journey. I probably would have never decided to start streaming if it wasn’t for you. And these challenges were so fun to participate in! And even though I had to watch the beginning cutscene hundreds of times, even though I had to get 20 minutes in a run just to hit a invisible barrier in the police chase that wasnt there before, even though those two weeks were some of the most miserable days of my life. Iam so happy that I got to participate in something like this, and Im so happy that I got to meet so many awesome people. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next. Thank you Charlie.

@@Hexra_eah but just because he said it doesn’t mean it is, because he tried to make it like a summoning salt it still might’ve fell more like emp lemon. Personally I don’t feel like it because empLemon goes into so much detail about absolutely everything and makes the craziest comparison. But that guy felt it was more emplemon, I feel like it’s a mix. The Emp Lemon type story telling but summoning salt topic and way of telling. Kinda like a mix of each. But it reminds me a lot of Emplemon too.
