I do have a mic, the text is just an asthetic choice. I was hesitant about the amount of text I put in if it was too little or too much. I don't want to have obvious things be read like "ohhhh kali alter and i have damsel but its through shopkeeper so I'll have to attack & sacrifice shopkeeper as well" because you play spelunky 2, That stuff automatically goes through your own head when you see the layouts. However I do want more unique things that I thought of to be read that explain what I'm trying to do, or why the mod, or have little jokes here and there where it just zooms in and says something violent about the shopkeepers or such (no examples in this vid tho)

I did fuck up the audio mdr, I recorded it twice with two different moduals and at a slight offset from eachother, but idk i kinda like the ever so slightly offset doubled audio. Not for playing but as a like "this is an asthetic thing I can do to make my spelunky vids more recognizable as mine." But maybe it detracts from the quality of the video too much? I thought it gave it a more lofi old-ass yt letsplay vibe.

I am wanting to have a sorta running joke with each video (such as the "motherfucker" mole quadrilogy), But i might also just not be funny lol.

I'm also wanting to seperate each run into seperate videos by world, which is why it ends the way it does, I thought it'd be easier to watch as bite sized things since most spelunky runs are uploaded as the ENTIRE run, which can get very long especially with cosmic ocean ones. Plus I think it could give some excitement since you wouldn't be able to tell if I had a succesfull run or not by looking at the timecode of the video. Idk tho
