This update addresses several issues that were reported.
Little Crusaders: Dragon Bite and Knight Button Press is now predicted!
Using advanced methods, we've finally predicted the dragon bit and button presses. This change will make Little Crusaders more tolerable for those who have higher pings. On top of that, the bite radius and button press radius have all been tweaked to be more reliable.

- Added horizontal head movement while in a seat, so now you can stare at people while in your comfy seat
- Updated look of action menu buttons a bit (the C button menu)

- You can now rotate your character while in the appearance editor in Plaza/Condo

- Added a toggle third person keybind that allows you to quickly toggle back and forth between thirdperson and first person in Plaza/Condo

- Updated teleporter visuals a bit
