Random Ramble 2

Transcript

Hello, hello, hello everybody. I hope there's not too much background noise. I'm pausing to see if there is.

I think the neighbor's having a party in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. Now it sounds like he's doing yard work. I really don't know what's going on next door.

I haven't heard a peep for the past four weeks. I think I've seen him go in and out twice. And now it feels like a jungle.

And the sound isolation on my back door is so horrible. I can hear everything through it. It was raining outside and I once thought it was leaking inside.

That's how bad it was. Usually this place is pretty quiet. What is that? Soundproof? No, it's not soundproof.

Voice? Voice recordable? Soundproof? Easy? Make me happy? All that good stuff.

Anyways, hello. Welcome. In case you haven't already gathered, yes, that is what I was going to say.

This is another little random ramble by yours truly. And not a ramble fap, so my peepee won't be coming out. It's been like, what, two weeks? How long has it been since I posted that last one? Has it really been two weeks? That's shameful.

Thirteen days ago? Yeah, just about two weeks. Oh, time's going a little faster than I was expecting it to.

Here I thought I would be slugging along each day, and instead I realized that I need to actually kick up the speed a little bit with making this next audio. As always, I had some things that I planned on talking about for these, and the people who came from my Patreon behind the scenes I'm sure will find this a usual sentence, but I've forgotten all of them. I have, like, two notes.

I have this little note app on my phone where I usually just write down ideas for one of the many stories I'm trying to make, but also for this, and I have, like, two things written down. One of them's kind of funny. That's it, and then a lot of people left comments.

I got a lot of comments. My last one, I'm going, oh, man, I can't speak. It's a miracle that I can voice act if I stumble over my words this much, but it got a lot more attention than I was expecting it to.

Like, a lot more. Where did you guys come from? Who are you people? Also, please don't leave.

I'm glad that you're here. Let's see. I think Ethereal Raven left a little question.

I'm not sure if anybody else did. It was just a lot of little happy notes that I was very happy to read through all of. Thank you.

Let me just make sure there's nothing else. Oh, and as soon as I start talking, my throat feels a little dry. I probably didn't drink enough water today.

Okay, yeah, I think it's just the one question, really, if I missed yours. Or if you come up with a new one, feel free to ask me in the comments again, and I will get around to it next time, probably. I'm going to start with the two little notes that I had because, I don't know, they're just kind of goofy.

The first one is Ocleo related because it makes me happy. But Ocleo actually, like, auto logs me in. That's awesome.

I know that's such a small ask in the world of technology. But I am on too many websites. I'm sorry, I have to keep, like, fucking with the little curtain that I use to close off my little carding booth.

I am on too many websites that that button exists and does nothing. And it'll keep me logged in. I think my PayPal does nothing.

Pornhub does nothing. And when I get greeted with the please enter your password and then do dual authentication again, I just kind of get bored unless it's PayPal and I have to pay somebody. I don't know, that lost a lot of, like, brownie points on Pornhub, and I stopped using it as much as I used to because it really sucks logging in every single time.

So I think it's awesome that Ocleo's feature actually works. It makes it so much nicer. If I came to the login screen every single time, I probably would just only, like, scroll through here and check my comments when it was time to upload, but that's not the case.

And I'm sure it's much nicer for you guys. I'm sure if they didn't have that auto-login feature, a lot of people would just never come back, which is the sad reality, but I think it is reality. So nice job, Ocleo.

Thumbs up. I know they are hard at work on a lot of other stuff, but I'm glad that one works. My other note is just a silly little thing, but when I moved, somebody had a pressure cooker that they weren't using anymore and gifted it to me, and I took it gladly because my big old fucking crock pot that I had at my old place was big and old and way too heavy because I was moving by plane, not by car.

And it was just very big, and it wasn't, I don't know, it wasn't that expensive. So I got rid of that, and I got this pressure cooker. And my god, I feel so torn because it honestly just feels like, I don't know, a speed run of a crock pot.

It's so fast. I'm used to just like turning on my little crock pot, waiting all day, and then dinner's ready. And this is done in like an hour instead of seven.

And it's very nice because I can actually like, I don't know, cook food on the same night that I want to eat it, but at the same time, part of me is just not prepared for it. It's too fast. Sometimes you gotta go slow.

And those were literally the only two things that I thought of, which is tragic. Yikes, oh well. These aren't supposed to be very long anyways, otherwise I would go off forever and make them like once every three months.

We'll try to avoid that. Let me delete that little note so that I can start writing down them for the other time. I'll see if I do this every two weeks.

I'm not going to make a schedule for it. It'll just be kind of whenever I have free time in the week, whenever I want to do it. Yeah.

Oh, I do have, okay. I should probably get to this before, you know, the one question somebody left me. I'd be fucking shameful if I didn't actually respond to that.

Well, I'm trying to record. Yes, Ethereal Raven, thank you. I really enjoyed listening to you chat away.

Thanks. Nice to feel we can get to know you a little better. Yeah.

And I look forward to more. Hooray. I'd love to hear how you first got into making audios.

A great question for all creators. I think it's one I've been asked probably the most, but I never really mind answering it again. I don't know.

I'm not ashamed of what I do at all, so I'm always happy to talk about it. Sorry. I'm just fussing with my little booth here.

Ow! It's still very new, and I want it to be nice. And it is very nice, but I see little cracks.

Ah. I don't know. There's like a short way to answer that and then a very, very long way to answer that.

When did I start? I think I started. ..

It's funny. I started like right. ..

Okay. How do I say this? I'll answer it the long way.

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Little Jasper. .. And by Little Jasper, that's me when I was younger.

Wow. I just went on like a five-minute rant there in which I managed to say absolutely nothing at all. It was kind of impressive.

No. Yeah. So when I was very young, I think I was like struggling with sleeping as all, you know.

.. I can't even remember exactly how old I was. Somewhere between the age of 11 and 14, but everybody right before and during high school has issues sleeping.

I'm positive. At least that's what it seemed like. Yeah.

So I was struggling with like especially just going to sleep on time. And I would usually just stay up another eight hours watching YouTube on my very tiny little iPod Touch like pressed up against my eyes. I found one before I graduated high school and compared it to my phone and it was.

.. They're so small. I had no idea they were so small.

Phones have gotten so much bigger. And at the time, I thought that was big. I felt like it was everything I ever needed.

But it's like I. .. I don't know.

It feels like I could just crush it. It barely fits in my palm. Yeah.

So I would do that. So one of the things that I found. ..

I'm sorry. I keep clearing my throat. I should just drink water.

But I won't. Not till this is done. One of the things that I did find was like, I don't know, amateur hypnosis, basically.

And I think being the little kid that I was, I would listen to shit like hypnosis to make your muscles bigger, hypnosis to get smarter and stuff like that while I was trying to fall asleep. And from there, I think I once found a guided meditation for sleep. No, honestly, it was probably like for muscle growth or something like that.

But eventually for sleep. So I kind of trended down there from very amateur style YouTube hypnosis to put you to sleep into guided meditation. And then from there, I kind of puddled around the world of ASMR.

And I started to get much more into watching like visual ASMR, especially. I've always been a very visual person. So having the visual plus the audio really, I guess, gave me those good, good tingles.

If you've watched ASMR, which I feel like there's so much crossover between that and erotic audios, you must have. But I'm sure you know what I mean. But somewhere along the way, and yeah, somewhere along the way, I found.

And when I looked up the creator, it must not have been as long ago as I thought because they haven't been around since the dinosaur ages. I don't think any erotic audio creator has. It's kind of wild how both how old erotic audio is because like it goes back to probably just narrating erotic stories, which has been done since the time of the radio.

I think I read the first like technically official erotic audio happened like the 1930s, 1940s or something like that. But all of these creators that I see, it feels like nobody's really more like nobody started much sooner than 2016, maybe 2015. That's just kind of strange to think about.

For me, in my mind, I realize that is already like what in two years, 2015 will be 10 years ago. So eight years ago, it still feels like it's like three or four years ago. It doesn't feel like it's that long.

Yikes. Anyways, I found a erotic hypnosis audio. And I listened to it and I kind of liked it.

But it was very, I guess, as many hypnosis audios are very directed towards sub men of which I was not. Give me one second. I see.

Oh, my God. Disaster. Oh, it's so dark in here.

I bumped my whole microphone. I just see this little this little foam pad kind of peeling off the wall and I don't want it to do that. Damn.

I'm sure that just fucked up my whole everything. I hope I still sound OK. Tell me I'm beautiful.

Thank you. Yeah. So I found it.

But then I kind of moved on. And honestly, I think I forgot that it existed. And I went back to watching more ASMR and everything.

And then I think it was sometime one of my last years of college, which I should probably start calling university. That I kind of rediscovered it. Fuck.

OK, fine. I'm going to go drink water. This is killing me.

All right. I'm back and I hope you're happier. Hey, that was probably all a little slower than I usually talk.

Maybe I can't even tell. Look, I can't scroll back while I'm recording. It'll be fine.

Right. That's the whole point of these is that I don't go back and edit them. Oh, well.

Yeah. So I kind of rediscovered erotic audios and I started listening to them more and more. I think I found it on.

Actually, I found somebody's posted on YouTube, which is a no, no. At least if you don't edit it before the actual sexy bits happened. But somebody hadn't and they posted it all on YouTube and I was listening to it.

And I saw that they were on other sites, I think like Pornhub and Reddit. And so I checked them out there. And then from Reddit, as many people do, I found good old GWA.

The double edged sword. Gone wild audio. And I don't know, just puddled around there for a little while.

Have I been saying that word a lot? I feel like I pick up a few words in conversations and I just regurgitate them until I get sick of them. And then I don't use them again for a decade.

And by a decade, I mean like a week. Yeah. So I did that.

And I think at one point, I thought it would be kind of fun. I guess, okay, back step from there a little bit. I've always done like silly voices, read narration in unnecessarily dramatic ways, things like that.

And I've always been complimented on having, I don't know, I guess a good talking voice. Easy to listen to. Good cadence, how I pace myself.

Things like that. And whenever I play games with friends, I always do silly voices and stuff just because I am incapable of not trying to make people laugh. And so a couple of them had always suggested that I should like get into voice acting or do something like that.

And I can't remember who it was. Somebody even jokingly said that I should get into ASMR. But I think that comment kind of gave me the idea of like, well, you know what? Maybe I could.

I listened to it long enough. Maybe I could. And from there, I can't even remember how I like thought it was a good idea or came up with a situation or something.

I think what happened is I was just at a bar with my friends and drank one too many beers. And I sat there and I thought like, okay, you know what? This is it.

I'm going to do it. This will be my first little erotic audio, which coincidentally happens at a bar, a good old college bar. I'm sure some of you have heard of it.

And so I wrote it up, made it, posted it on. I think I did the no-no. I posted that on YouTube, took that down as soon as I realized that that is not really okay there.

And then posted it on Pornhub and Reddit and stuff. And then I kind of forgot about it. And then I did.

I think it was like two or three months until I remembered that it existed, came back and checked on it. And it had somehow gotten a lot more attention than I was expecting it to. I thought it would get like a hundred views.

I think it had, I don't know, maybe even a few thousand. It was surprising for me at least. I thought the audio quality, okay, the audio quality was terrible.

It was not even a thought I had. It's objective truth. The writing was meh.

It was a little more edgy than I'd like and more edgy than I am now. But it got a lot more attention than I was expecting. And it made me think like, wait, no, that was kind of fun to do.

Man, if you can hear that bass. Fucking people that just whipped that shit up on the road, oh well. Yeah, I thought it was kind of fun to do.

And so I did it again. I can't remember what made me do the Dragonborn audio as my second one. I don't think I was playing Skyrim at the time.

I played Skyrim obsessively the day it came out for probably two years and cannot touch it since. Not haven't, but cannot. It hurts.

That and Minecraft. I just played to the point where it kind of pains me to look at and think about. And if I play more than five minutes of either one, I just get incredibly bored and need to stop and do something else.

So, yeah, that's how I got into it. And after somewhere, I think around the second or third audio that I made. Which was all like during.

I think it kind of had an influence on it as well, but I made the first audio before the pandemic. And then it was about a month or so after the pandemic hit that I decided to check on it and saw that they did well. And so I had more free time, nowhere to go and thought it was fun to do another one.

Oh, yeah. And that was also about when I made the other ones is when I started getting into just voice acting in general. I don't only make the not safe for work stuff.

I do like look around online, try to find different things to audition to. I have a blast just. Voicing characters and narrating stuff for people, stuff like that.

So I'd say that's how I got into it. And here I am. Three years after the pandemic.

Still making audios. Every time I think I haven't made a lot in three years, I go to my little master list of audios, which, by the way, I have a master list of audios. I guess the fact that it.

The fact that it's three and a half pages long makes me feel a little bit better. I do. I have made I have actually made audios in my time.

It's shocking to think about with the pace that I move at. But hopefully I won't be moving at that pace the whole time. And if you guys saw, I posted a little tiny snippet of the next audio.

I already have about a thousand words written for it. I mentioned it last time, but I have to write out every single one of my audios. I'm just incapable of improving them.

And I also don't want to. My audios are so story based that. I need to write them out so that it fits the story and the characters all talk the same.

And also that the plot points don't just vanish off. I think that has already happened in a couple audios by accident. But I want to go back and be able to read my audios and.

Format them, take notes and stuff like that. So yeah, I already have about a thousand words. Written of this new audio and I haven't even gotten to the actual like audio.

It's all kind of the introduction in a similar way that. The Viking audio had. What two minutes of introduction sounds probably going to have like.

Somewhere between five and ten. It won't be a narrative, though. But I say introduction because it's a different character before you actually get to the.

The black guard, as I described last time. Although, of course, since this isn't D&D. It's based off D&D, but since it's not D&D is not an actual black guard.

It's just what the character motifs that he's based off of. But speaking of D&D. Somebody asked me on.

What was it? That place you can ask me little anonymous questions. Yeah.

And I believe I answered on Twitter. All these different sites. God, it's a headache.

Yes, someone said that they noticed I happened to get a certain vampire based D&D module. Which I did. I finally got my hands on the Curse of Strahd.

Which I was originally saying Strad, but after trying to pronounce his name in. The more ridiculous accent, I realized it's probably Strahd Von Zarovich and not Strad Von Zarovich. But I did get that and I replied with kind of the same thing.

I'll say here because it's it's exciting for me. They wanted to know if I would ever do a Strahd audio. And my first initial reaction before I started typing was no, come on.

Like, I just don't like using other people's cannons. I already have such a gripe with people remaking movies, rewriting books. Make a better story.

Don't take what they had and just like dick around with it. Take some of the ideas they had, some of the values they had. Create something brand new and do better because I'm sure you can.

That's kind of how I feel like with audios and everything. I know it's fun for people to listen to their favorite anime character. Porking them down in a back alleyway somewhere.

But if that's all I did, you guys would never have Jax or Tor or any of the Space Boys or Fade. And I just love creating stories too much. So that was almost kind of what I wrote.

I just have too much fun writing my own stories. And doing something like that takes away from the time that I can write. But, oh my fucking god.

As I am working my way through reading this D&D module. Because I opened the book and the first fucking sentence I got hit with is that As the DM you should probably read this whole 300 page book before you even start the campaign. I already probably have a group that wants to play with me.

Which is good. I thought that might take a little longer. I think I mentioned that last time.

Yeah. Turns out nerds can click together pretty well pretty fast. But I might have to tell them that it'll be a little bit.

Because this is going to take me a bit to get through. But it is. It is so good.

I got the Curse of Strahd revamped. And the beginning starts with a little foreword by one of the original creators of the Curse of Strahd. Which was, it kind of tickled me because it reminded me of my own life a little bit.

It was a pair of two sisters in high school. Who, as people do in high school, were playing through D&D with one of their friends. Who just created like a dungeon crawler campaign.

You know, you move from one room on to the next room. You roll the dice, alright. Number five, number five's a zombie.

Okay, you're fighting a zombie. You kill the zombie. You get experience points.

You level up. You do better. And she walked into the room.

And together they saw a vampire. And, crap, I can't remember her name. I'll have to look it up.

But yeah, she saw a vampire. And her first reaction was like, What? What the fuck? Like, a multi-century old vampire.

Here in a dungeon, about to die to a halfling rogue who's going to shank him in the ankle. And a big barbarian orc who's going to bonk him on the head. What? Are you serious? Uh uh uh uh.

That vampire, that man right there. I'm sure he's lived such a life, he deserves his whole own story. And so together, her and her sister made him one.

But that was back in the 80s.
