You know, once, I found myself wondering what my life was missing. Companionship? Love? A deeper understanding of all things metaphysical? Meaningful human interaction? The answer eluded me.

Then, I found out I could have Ashley Johnson narrate my life while I chase a giant naked Taliesin Jaffe across the Carribean, accompanied by Matt Mercer as a redneck, Matt Mercer as an elf (feat. Matt Mercer as an Irish barmaid), and optionally, Shaun Gilmore (as voiced by Matt Mercer). Finally, that very weirdly specific hole in my soul was filled.

...oh, and the game's pretty cool too. Still needs some stability fixes here and there, and I'm a bit miffed that the character creation is as limited as it is (as always, There's a Mod for That™, a Character Creation Unlocker located at https://www.nexusmods.com/pillarsofeternity2/mods/13 which I personally see as essential) but it's quite fun, and I'm kinda sad I never got the chance to get in on the first game when it came out.

That said, I can't wait for the Critical Role Season 2 DLC so I can bring along Pumat "Matt Mercer of Minnesota" Sol, Pumat "Also Matt Mercer" Sol, Pumat "Fargo's Own Matt Mercer" Sol, and let's not forget Pumat Sol "Probably Also Matt Mercer" Prime. Ain't no party like a Matt Mercer party 'cause a Matt Mercer party fills the void left by six days of not hearing Matt Mercer talk to himself.

(Is it Thursday yet?)
