i really hate making playlists b.c. im bad at it and i don't actually like every song on even albums of my favorite bands so i cant just throw a bunch of albums of the same genre together and call it a day. so what's the other solution besides let some tech company curate music to me via FM.

I take it the selection of FM/AM is pretty sparse?

i just have a spotify playlist with every album i like at all and throw it on shuffle when i don't know what to listen to. just press skip when something i'm not in the mood for comes up. i'm almost up to 5000 songs :toot:

if your taste is even slightly outside mainstream radio is a total non-option in most places

clear channel owns every broadcast station besides the sac state public access one, which is just Shitter NPR. And theres also real NPR, which is bad.

I've kept sirius XM around all these years because at least I can always find something to listen to when I'm driving through the middle of nowhere, MO/AR/IL. I am still mad at them for killing the punk station (Fungus XM53) over a decade ago, though. it got replaced with a 24/7 AC/DC station after the sirius merger :negative:

Is "protest loving" cool? I think people tried making that cool at some point.

quote:

Why do we not talk about Orion Acaba or Tiberius Stormwind?

Orion Acaba was part of the original cast of Critical Role, but left the show after C1E27, and due to his actions following the departure (through to the present), he is no longer welcome to participate in fan-run Critter Communities. Due to the nature of these actions (see section below), there has been much speculation regarding his departure, but at this point it doesn’t do anyone any good to speculate further.

Tiberius left Vox Machina because Orion left Critical Role, and the two conversations cannot be separated. Unfortunately, since nearly all previous discussions mentioning Orion or even Tiberius have devolved into speculation, the community admins and moderators have decided to minimize discussion of Orion or his character out of respect for the wishes of Critical Role’s cast and crew.

Why did Orion leave?

The cast and Orion have chosen to keep that information private. We do not know, and we will most likely never know.

Since Orion’s departure from the show, the Critter Community has put forth a large amount of energy and speculation on the subject, most of which is exceedingly negative and harmful. We do not recommend you go read it, but it is archived below.

Out of respect for Orion, for Critical Role’s cast and crew, and for the admins and moderators of all community spaces, we ask that you do not repeat these discussions and speculations, nor ask any questions. You are welcome to go read the previous ones if you would like to think on it for yourself.
Is Orion coming back?

Orion posted on his Instagram in 2017 regarding why he left and his desire to return to Critical Role. At that time, Matt responded on Reddit in support of Orion but stated "That being said, and in hopes of ending the arguments and discussions within for both our sakes and his, there are no plans for Orion to ever return to Critical Role."

Do not continue to ask if he is/will/could be returning, or say “I wish he would”. Do not tag him or the cast suggesting/requesting/wishing for it.
The Legend of Vox Machina

Question: Will Tiberius appear in The Legend of Vox Machina animations?

Answer: Tiberius will not appear in The Legend of Vox Machina. Source: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/criticalrole/critical-role-the-legend-of-vox-machina-animated-s/faqs

Is it a spoiler that Orion left the show?

No. The fact that Orion (the player) leaves the show is not a spoiler, as that is not an in-game event during an episode of Critical Role. (see the full spoiler policy)

Details from the show about Tiberius (the character's) actions or behavior are spoilers, as those ARE in-game events during an episode of Critical Role.
Why is Orion no longer a member of the Critter Community?

Due to his actions after he left Critical Role, Orion Acaba is no longer a member of the Critter community and the admin or moderation teams of the community spaces have removed him from participating in them. [Critical Role Fan Club] [Reddit]

Since leaving Critical Role, Orion has consistently demonstrated behavior that is the antithesis of the values upon which this community was built: respect, empathy, kindness, patience, understanding.

He has engaged in harassing and dangerous behavior publicly against both fans and colleagues including revealing the confidential personal information (doxxing) of one of his supporters. Other accusations levied against him include fraud or misappropriation of fan-provided funds on two separate occasions.

I have further questions, more links, more information to provide, and/or speculation I haven’t seen before…

The cast has asked the Critter Community very directly to please stop speculating or asking questions about Orion. By doing so, you are violating Rule #1 (Don’t be a dick). Please stop asking.

If you see someone speculating or asking, please report their post to the moderators and do not reply to it.

Should I watch the episodes that Orion is in or skip them?

That is entirely up to you. But The Slayer’s Take episodes (C1E18 - C1E21), and C1E24 through his departure do contain information that is pertinent later in the series.

Almost all of the drama was outside of the game, driven by the community, and occured after Orion left the show. With the exception of C1E27, there is no tension in-game.

C1E27: The worst of the in-game tension occurs immediately after the break. Skipping until 2h49m will avoid the tension, and will only skip one in-game week of preparation for the adventure discussed before the break.

Conclusion

When it comes down to it, these are the Critical Role fan-run communities, for discussion and news about the show. Orion's personal behavior has nothing to do with the show.

The odds of hurting more people and dividing the community further by repeating the same drama and speculation over and over again are high. The small upside of potentially educating a few people who might have participated in his non-CR ventures is not enough of a benefit to outweigh the damage and stress to all parties that allowing current or future "Orion said/did XYZ" posts will bring.

And then there was the scandal where an internet person tried to hire themselves as a sensitivty reader for the podcast, and threw a temper tantrum when no one on the show wanted to accept said offer to join the cast and have control over what happened on it, resulting in this very carefully worded legal statement:



A bit interesting that someone with supposedly extensive experience being bullied online would attempt to online bully their way into a job, but (probably) not a sex thing.
