An early, EARLY release (because I need feedback)
Added 2020-05-15 16:22:08 +0000 UTCHey, all! This audio is scheduled to go live to the public next Thursday, but I wanted to run it by you all first and see what you think.
I've had a few requests for audios themed around gaming with the listener, so this was my attempt at that. To make it, I played a game of League of Legends and recorded myself playing it (without the game sounds recorded, of course, because copyright). Then I went through and cut out a lot of the dead air and some of the mouse clicks, so it's shorter than a game would be. But there are still a LOT of mouse clicks. Like, A LOT. Authentic as hell to my gameplay experience of clicking all the damned time. :) But I want to be sure it's not too distracting or annoying when you listen. Also, I tried to strike a balance in the sound when my laptop fans would fire up to ludicrous speed, but again, if the underlying shifts are distracting, that could be a problem.
If you could, please let me know what you think when you have a sec! Thanks so much!

I just recently listened to this video and had to groan. League calls my name in a soft, wicked whisper from just behind the curtains that hide the dark places in my soul. Usually. After listening to this, though... it's a bullhorn, standing on top of a car, stopping traffic and telling me Ahri misses me. Great video! I'll cheer when I take Annie down in the Rift. :D

2020-07-04 07:53:46 +0000 UTCThanks! Yeah, I do try to stay very chill when I play, because the alternative is to let myself get too annoyed. I try not to take it too seriously. And I don't want to get the listener all anxious either, listening to me suck at the game. :)

2020-05-16 11:57:52 +0000 UTC1 I enjoyed the audio, but i felt that maybe you were a bit to calm or monotone, you seem just a bit to chill, though you are playing to relax, so maybe that's just me. 2 Though it got way better after the second half, it was a little confusing, I've play maybe an hour of league, things like "a ram" or something like that took a sec to figure as just a game mode or something and move on. I don't know how much my 2 points will apply to everyone but those are my thoughts on it.

2020-05-16 03:02:23 +0000 UTCI didn't find the clicks annoying. It's not really a go to sleep audio so not really an issue, imo. LOL at the space balls reference in your post 😂 nicely done.

2020-05-16 00:01:31 +0000 UTCIt's not too bad I don't think. I don't play League and I was able to follow most of what was being said, beyond character names. This audio may be difficult for non gamers to understand but given the title and all they should know what they're getting into clicking on the video. As for the sound balance, I did notice an odd noise in the background but only when I had my volume turned way up which isn't how most people would listen to asmr so I don't think it would be too much of an issue (the mouse clicks were fine). Anyway, those are my thoughts on the whole thing.

2020-05-15 18:22:43 +0000 UTCThank you for the feedback! I was very careful NOT to say "league" or "league of legends" out loud because I don't want Riot to get crabby with me, but I can see how there might be confusion.

2020-05-15 17:02:52 +0000 UTCI think its interesting as a format. I enjoyed it well enough, but I feel like if you didnt play league, you'd be very confused about what was being said. I'm not sure sure how you'd solve that though, maybe the more general stuff, or more of the emotions of the game? Not entirely sure, but I like the format. Or actually, if you changed the title to relaxing with league of legends (ironic), it might work better?
