I'M LOOKING AT YOU POKÉMON SNAP.

Like it makes more sense right.

"mylo-tick" sounds insanely stupid and doesn't mean anything or even resemble anything other than Australia's favourite drink...

Cameo Prompt: How would it go if Lenny and Sean tried to talk Charles into teaching them how to use the bow and arrow?

From @noshirdalal, Charles Smith's voice actor. If you haven't checked out his cameo yet, please do! I've also got a running doc with links to and transcripts of Charles Smith-centric responses publicly available here.

Some highlights:

(On teaching Lenny to shoot)

All that to say, I think, um. Well first of all I think Charles would have patience in spades for Lenny(...) I can see Lenny asking really, really insightful questions and Charles being impressed and really enjoying teaching him. 

(on Charles and Lenny's relationship)

"Yeah, man. I don’t know why I made the decision that Charles cared so much about Lenny but even when—spoilers, for folks, if you watch this—when Lenny dies—which, because I had no lines, I did not know, I didn’t get a script so I didn’t know that that’s what happens in that moment—that really upset me. Both as Noshir the actor and as Charles(...) And, uh. I’m assuming it's still in the game—I hope it is—you’ll see Charles pause and then turn to check on Lenny before he keeps moving.  And if I’m not mistaken I actually got yelled at for it, because you know the animation team was like ‘no, the whole thing is that there’s chaos. Lenny goes down, the team has to move’. And I was told to do it again and not stop, and I did it.  I stopped again because I felt it was really important. Like Charles would never leave Lenny alone on a rooftop and not make sure he was dead.  That was really important to me. 

(on Charles' relationship with Sean)

I don’t say this often and I’m not sure I know the reason—I might explore it in just talking about it. I did not like Sean as Charles(...)Because he’s volatile. You just never know what he’s gonna do and I fucking hated that.  Because an element like that means you never know when your peace is gonna be disrupted(...) What I love about Mick Mellamphy is that Mick brought a real wild card danger to Sean. I don’t know how much of it came across in the game. He’s got an affable nature and like he’s easy to love but man when he turns he turns on a fucking dime.  And I remember in that moment as Sean kinda bared his teeth at Arthur, I reach back and just rested my hand on the butt of the shotgun, ‘cause I was gonna take Sean out. And then I think Mick has this wonderful turn where he holds attention and then he’s like ‘ah, I’m just kidding’ and kinda walks off.  And I’m like, as Charles, just like [releases breath]. And I watched Mick strut off and I just remember thinking, like, ‘I’ve gotta watch that motherfucker’.  Because Arthur was gonna give him too much grace. Just enough rope to get ‘em both hanged, you know. 

(on teaching Sean archery)

The entirety of what makes warhammer great is the grand operatic scale of its writing and it's art. Every single part of it made by human minds and hands. Removing that takes away from and insults the legacy of all those that made it great. Somebody toiled away to paint Horus killing Sanguinius like one would a dramatic chapel ceiling. Having a machine spit it out while polluting the environment is literally heresy

In all likeliness somebody put my own writing into AI to train it for chat bots and what not. So now my own work is being pointed back at me and demanding to prove I'm real

What hell is this. You read something well written and assume it's AI

Y'all know Sean is my fave and I hated seeing him go, especially so early in the game, and it's sad because he's so young, but it had meaning and foreshadowing to what was to come. When Sean first returns to camp there's an interaction between him and Dutch where Sean asks if Dutch missed him and he responds with "Like I miss the sun". Many of them saw him as a literal ray of sunshine, keeping their spirits up. Keeping them all laughing and singing even though he had moments of doubt and dispair himself. After his death, the tone of the camp notably shifts. They have a party for Jack's return but it's not the same. When it's done, we seldom see anyone in camp enjoying themselves or cheerful.

Hosea was the voice of reason. He was Dutch's last shred of sanity which died along with him. The gang's sembalance of order quickly becomes nothing but chaos when Dutch no longer has that angel on his shoulder trying to lead with sensibility.
