lol JJ I would but it’s more of a visual thing. Rather hard to describe. The way I have been doing it looks really janky, so I’ve been experimenting with ways to make it look less fonky. When I’m showing people my gameplay they’re always like “why are you doing that” and then I’ve got to explain to them it’s a way to run fast while being able to do other things.

Recently I have been a television reporter for CBS, but I’ve also been an actor, and to me there’s often little distinction at the totem or desk, as a head speaking to you. I started off as a print reporter, and while in school for my degree in Journalism was offered an internship. It was Hamilton, Ohio, former gang stop for Al Capone, and still looked every bit the part.
I was leased to City Desk right before they hired me full-time, and one night the tenured template-writer was off sick. It was a rough part of town, I was driving a 76 Chevy van in the 1990s, looking tumbled and disheveled like I oughtta. We got a story, and it was a whopper. In Hamilton, you’d see a set of homes right next to a small Used Car lot, right there in the footprint of an old home. One of these lots was being damaged almost nightly. In fact, the whole neighborhood was being somewhat traumatized by a rash of violence and vandalism.
My story hit the A section, rather than being blotted up into 8 column inches. It raised awareness, and a Community Watch formed. Immediately, the dealership sent me a present. It was a beautiful bottle of Chianti in a gorgeous, expensive gift basket. When it arrived I looked at my Editor and he said: “if you don’t go home with that, I’m taking it to my wife.” So I did. Somehow it didn’t affect me, or make me easier on car dealers. But people have eyes.
Funcom offered me a title long before this one, called Hand of Mitra. I miss it. It felt right. I earned this title separately, and its great honor, but I have already purchased all of the DLC and always will. Thus my objectivity is really down to the character I display, daily, here, elsewhere and on mah channel. As I end my dry spell of vids, I didn’t want to start on a foul note. You all have given me a great deal to think about, and so I thank you!
TLDR: In writing, podcasts and videos I have tried to maintain a rather reportorial or journalistic approach to my coverage of Conan Exiles, from the perspective of a massive consumer of it. And while I have accepted titles and boni, my intent is to continue making content that asks no permission. That said, consideration for the playerbase and the overall effect of my actions should outweigh any QOL benefit.

If there is potential for abuse inherent in a glitch, then I would expect Funcom to come down more heavily than if the glitch is only capable of benign effect. Adding to Tephra’s point, I feel like this might be one of those times where it’s better to ask permission than risk consequences for something well-intended.
