But I get the feeling Jason is an incredibly irritating person to argue with so I'm fine with it not being any more heated than that.

lmao exactly, triple click absolutely exudes the "i already know it's not worth it to try to argue with This Guy" vibe sometimes

only listened to the first 15 minutes but it's good to hear them goofin around again. i wonder how the 'anytime i hear an accent i assume it's problematic' quadrant of the mbmbam fandom will react to Justin's character voice, which I'm pretty sure is just meant to be creepy old Southern lady

but this is good stuff so far

it's time we talk about clint appropriating the very real condition of your personality being a combination of a bunch of ghosts

Griffin's ship combat system is super cool and I dig it a lot. Ethersea is popping off hard.

yeah i really dig the "every round one ship is in position and one isn't, and that defines your ability selection" system, makes it fun while totally abstracting out any maneuvering, which would be horrible to deal with in any concrete way over audio

This is part of what bothers me about it, I think. Not only is it incredibly saccharine, but it seems like unhealthy boundaries between podcaster and listener are what both the McElroys and their audience have come to expect and the song is not helping. The podcast should not be trying to be my best friend

it's a song

montaigne also made a surprisingly beautiful song on commission about driving a truck for a comedian who streams euro truck simulator. it's just what she does there's not some secret message unique to mbmbam with every word tailored to it

I genuinely think it’s just that tours are a huge part of their income for the year and they really need to get back out there asap.

i wonder why they haven't committed harder to live performances or other ways to get income. as far as i've been able to tell, quite a lot of people paid for the shows they've done over pandemic

and what they haven't done is live episodes of TAZ, which I think even more people would absolutely pay ten bucks or whatever for

They did do a live ep of TAZ, another run of Honey Heist.

you're right, I guess the thing I was thinking is like live one-shots with balance or amnesty characters that fans would be excited to see

speaking of i need to relisten to the one where griffin plays 11 year old griffin mcelroy and turns into a car

I don't listen to podcasts fast but I do read fast, so if anyone watches me play, like, a JRPG or something, they get very frustrated because i'm quickly going through dialog boxes and they can't follow along

But I'm not doing it to speedrun, I just... read fast

I've tried watching anime at 1.15x speed and it can make some of the animation look a little odd at times even though you'd think anime would be best suited for it (often being animated at one drawing every 6/8 frames). i wouldn't bother with podcasts.. especially going above 1.2x? It'll cause words to crunch together and phonemes to get lost/blurred

i understand the compulsion (wanting to binge something but you have limited time) but it seems like a worse experience

it's nice for history podcasts or other informational things when you're paying close attention, but using it for comedy seems totally insane

I want to buy a beer for whoever at iHeartRadio put MBMBAM into the category for Best Ad Reads, they knew exactly what they were doing.

Also how hosed up is it that podcasts have an award category for ad reads

in a previous year they put hollywood handbook up

which, if you've ever heard HH, had to be some kind of joke

I had actually drafted a post about how much I like Devo's emotional beats. The lobby blow up was a bit much, but the underlying sentiment felt true, and I think it opens him up to being less resentful in other settings. I also like how much Devo's humor is built from pushing against the "open every chest, fight every battle" trope of role-playing games, which works really well in a space where our heroes don't have plot armor.

yeah i weirdly like how travis is playing this character, he's a raw nerve and doing a lot of dumb poo poo socially that seems to actually be quite well-explained by his background

Oh I'm also the kinda dude who used to crash his own house party I'm well aware it's very real and relatable -- but that experience supports my criticism; being bristly and immature with society as your "method" of dealing with your trauma leads to embarrassment and pain less often than success.

i agree with you, in the sense that it's very obviously self-destructive behavior that does not help the group, but it seems to be intentional and not just travis being dumb and i'm happy to see the character work through it

also lol i guess this is what brian's doing when they're not doing LMaM episodes
