CaptainLuck Music Obsessions/Taste
If you've ever interacted with Luck you'll know he constantly goes on about whoever/whatever he is listening too. Since learning about the Last.FM Site where you can track your data whenever. He's lost it, streaming insane amounts of artist monthly or daily. As he wants to boost his numbers to claim leaderboards in some of the music fan servers he's in, or his own discord server (Luck's Cantina). Regardless Luck's Music Obsessions can be a few days, weeks, or in Elton John/Lorde's case whole years. Regardless you can check Luck's Last.FM account to see his top artist and current obsessions, however the two artist Mentioned will be further explained.

Elton John Obsession
At approximately 1 BH4, CaptainLuck would consistently reference Elton John, both in Discord voice chats and in text channels. This would historically cause anyone within the voice chat to go insane, and sometimes even yell at him for it. Knowing that it both annoyed other people and having no desire to put effort into stopping, Luck would purposefully continue to sing the songs.

In addition to consistently singing Elton John songs in Voice Chat, Luck would also reference the movie Rocketman, a biopic about Elton John, with Taron Egerton has the singer. The most common scene that he would reference was the Your Song scene, which showcased Taron Egerton (Elton John) and Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell) witness the performance of the first hit they had written together.

As a result of this consistent mentioning of Elton John and Taron Egerton, other people within Luck's sphere grew to dislike his songs, such as Raven.

Obsession With Lorde
CaptainLuck has been known to be obsessed with Lorde, a New Zealand singer-songwriter, and consistently posts gifs relating to Lorde in multiple Discord servers that he is in. He is even in a Lorde fan Discord server, and is even considered to be a VIP within the server due to his activity there. He has almost all of Lorde's songs favourited on Spotify, with Sober II/Melodrama being the only exception. This obsession with Lorde lead to roughly 8,000 Lorde streams in the year of 2020 and CaptainLuck is currently on the battle to beat his record. Doing roughly 900 Lorde streams during the month of June 2021. Luck believes he can accomplish this feat do to how much he loves Lorde, and with the new up and coming Solar Power Album coming August 16th of 2021. After discovering Lorde's secret onion rings review account, Luck has since changed his profile picture to an image of Lorde in front of a bunch of onion rings. His profile picture has rarely changed since, except for rare instances that only last a week at most. Along with this, his custom status on Discord has read: lorde of the onion rings, paired with either a New Zealand flag or an onion rings emoji. Since then the profile picture has been changed to a numerous amount of different Lorde pictures/gifs since the debut of Lorde's new Single Solar Power. For the up and coming album of the same name. However he has finally settled on a Lorde profile picture the classic Onion Rings Lorde photo.

Unlike Elton John, Luck was successful in getting other people to accept Lorde's music and add it to their playlists.

Content Creation
Luck has been known to stream on Twitch, a popular streaming service owned by Amazon Inc. In addition to this, he also posts videos on YouTube, with some videos relating to Hearts of Iron IV or WWII in general. Other videos, such as CSGO But In WWII?! centre around first person shooters and are more stylized to funny moments.

Portugal Rework Mod (One and Two)
Luck created his own Hearts of Iron IV mod called Portugal Rework Mod, which is a modification of a DLC focus tree from Hearts of Iron IV's expansion La Resistance. The mod mainly focuses on reworking the monarchist path of the tree, and specifically allows for unification with the rest of Iberia, or breaking the Iberian peninsula into multiple different puppet states.

The second Portugal Rework Mod focuses on expanding the Portugal and Brazil unification trees, and allows the player to expand influence within South America.

Trolling
Luck is either a 50:50 on if he's liked or hated in the HOI4 community, often upsetting the soy boys of the community. His HOI4 Modding career nearly ended before it began upon him joining the HOI4 Artist Server. It all started with a Le Chef answering his Fone... Regardless Luck has become a figure of the Volksmarine trolling clan (Volksmarine Goon Army).

Road to 69/56
Luck has famously been nearly banned from a ton of servers, but more importantly has become infamous in the RT69 and RT56 development teams. Recently he was banned from RT56 for "too much trolling." We reached out to art lead Abbus for a comment, they had no comment. Luck is also famously know for getting a Romanian Modder by the name of Ghost blacklisted in a large portion of the communities bigger mods.

CaptainLuck was part of the artist server faction who attempted to get RT69 blacklisted for stealing art, this attack was in fact successful. They are no longer welcome in any big HOI4 Modding servers, as well as being cock blocked on the r/hoi4modding reddit. He left such a scar that when they went to visit the server, they took his tag and pre-banned him. Regardless of this poor attempt whenever Luck uploads a video you can often find them talking about his voice. While they completely ignore the fact they are supporting his channel and content by watching the video, that's HOI4 Modders for you!
