Today’s episode reminded me of the good old days. They sounded more present and enthused than they have in a long time.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:Travis is the kind of person the theatre kids would call a weirdo behind his back and have a separate discord from him I’m no great Travis apologist, but that’s says a lot more about the shittiness of the theatre kids than it does Travis.

DesertIslandHermit posted:It's kind of amazing that people assume the absolute worst of Travis when he's really at his worst a harmless idiot. It might have to do with people being used to weird male feminist nerds turning out to be creeps or the long grudges that people have on the McElroy Brothers over any matter. He just needs someone to keep him reined him Eh. Travis, is like one friend we all had that was cool to hang with as long as there were other friends around. You like him well enough as long as he diluted and occasionally only have a beef with him when gets a little too frenetic. But you’re still going to buy him a weird book from the Barnes and Noble clearance section every year for his birthday.

DesertIslandHermit posted:Travis can be obnoxious and cringe but he’s pretty much harmless. People get too used to assuming hipster liberals are really nasty or creepy but he’s just really annoying at times. He does need to read less social media, though. I finally watched that clip and...oof...that was mortifying to watch. I think that was him actually controlling his rage, somewhat. In his defense, that ChilledChaos guy everybody is handjobing instantly triggered my “edge lord brat that thrives on negative attention alarm”.

As far as chicken sandwiches got, whether you like it grilled, crispy, or smoked, I recommend brining your chicken over night in pickle juice. The sandwich you make at home will end all wars.

Ok Comboomer posted:Yeah but if you drill down on a lot of what people are actually taking issue with WRT Travis it’s poo poo like “soy face” and the fact that he does poo poo with his look and behavior that’s traditionally coded as queer. I consider myself a good enough person that I would never use a gendered, racist, ableist, or homophobic pejorative to describe someone I don’t like. I am, though, a big enough man-child that I do feel the need to point at the people I don’t like and call them names. So, as such, I am challenging the posters in this thread to generate new pejoratives to call people that don’t involve involve coded language. Just words that by their very mouth feel describe the person you are pointing at and mocking. I hope this will become a team building exercise that unifies the thread. I shall begin: ‘Goober’. Use case: “People who say ‘soy-face’ are goddam goobers”. I look forward to everyone else’s contributions.

as gently caress (see my previous post on the matter) but there’s also a bunch of people who are mad that Travis is straight and legit consider him dying his hair the queerness equivalent of stealing valor. And that’s also super weird and not ok.

Please do share whatever fun racist/ableist/Xist source uses you know for it, I’d be interested to her about it. Same. It’s literally the name of a popular sandwich spread. New neutral perjorative: ‘ding-dong’ Use case: “Concern trolls are such loving ding-dongs”.

Srice posted:The crossover I'm surprised hasn't happened yet is MBMBAM and Doughboys, especially since it feels like practically everyone else at Max Fun has guested on Doughboys at least once. I don't know how much they could stand the performative animosity that Wiger and Mitch have towards each other and themselves. I do think a MBMBaM/You Look Nice Today crossover would work really well. Justin has stated before that the first run of YLNT inspired MBMBaM.

SpacePig posted:His response make him almost sound like he's, like, a part-owner or investor or something. I think a lot of people would like to consolidate our debt into a high interest loan with unlimited credit! I have listened to JJGo for over ten years and have heard Jesse tell a lot of negative stories about his youth. In a nut shell, he grew up poor in a bad San Francisco neighborhood and his father was an abusive PTSD addled alcoholic for most of his youth. That’s a lot of subtext I gleaned at least. Lot’s of ‘funny’ anecdotes about getting mugged and his dad having episodes. Interpret that how you will when you look at how he has historically dealt with money and any longtime collaborator that may pull him down.

Pennsylvanian posted:There's a guy on Reddit who's been posting long-form friendly critiques of Graduation from the lense of an experienced DM talking to less-experienced DMs, and he had the idea of doing a Chrono Trigger-style opening sequence where the players are given a series of tasks to perform. Based on the actions of the players, the DM would then assign the players to the hero or villain schools. He outlined it a lot further, but it actually sounded more interesting and dynamic (while still being easy for a new DM to work with). The problem was that Travis definitely had the game laid out pretty rigidly and I think he didn't realize that what he had planned was going to take as long as it did. In my day, the first session was meeting in a tavern and then killing the dire rats in the cellar of that tavern and we liked it!

The news has been miserable and I just can’t get the inertia going to even record for 30 minutes.

The World Inferno posted:I've always found it kind of funny how Wikipedia probably subsidizes 99% of podcast content. The theme of my podcast was originally to research and talk about paranormal incidents that happened in Kentucky from a skeptical perspective with my friends. Well, that took all of six months to completely exhaust. There was the Meat Shower, Edgar Cayce, the Hopkinsville Goblins and then it dries up after that. So, we moved on to other paranormal stories that we found interesting, but those dry up, too, when you're not invested in believing in them. Honestly, most any UFO, ghost, or cryptid story can he summed up and explained in about 15 minutes unless the people involved are eccentric and interesting. So, we went on to also covering true crime, which is a real passion of one of my co-hosts and we were able to coast on that for a long while. The show is mostly us being loud, vulgar people with progressive opinions and our small audience enjoyed that. Of course, COVID happened and we couldn't meet up anymore to record and my co-hosts aren't as tech savvy as I am, so no remote recording. I've been trying to put out an episode every couple months were I just read dump news stories, but between depression, my girlfriend having an alcoholic meltdown and leaving, and, well, depression, I haven't been very productive. I do a lot of technical prepping...my recording equipment and DAW are primed...but I just can't stand my own voice long enough to get at least 30 minutes of content in. I guess I have podcaster's block. So, yeah, being a Dunning-Kruger empowered chud that can stream of consciousness with a complete lack of empathy about other people's embarrassing internet posting sounds like a real gift. I wish I could just confidently vomit mediocre yet consistent content. Anyway. Glass shark was funny, amiright?

. It's not a bad thing, and lord knows I still enjoy listening to some that do that, but it does clarify how someone can juggle weekly research projects with everything else.

grittyreboot posted:A) I'm very sorry you're going through a tough time. Depression is a bitch. A) Thank you for your empathy. B) The Kentucky Colonels of Truth. I really don’t recommend it. C) As soon as I saw them. Art school ‘content creator’ Cincinnati hipsters with woo-woo beliefs going for a long weekend in eastern Kentucky? They are incredibly lucky there weren’t bludgeoned to death by meth heads for their camera equipment.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:This is completely off-topic, but as someone who also suffered through Hellier it drove me crazy when they made a huge deal out of the one dude's "Be careful out there and watch your back." Like, he wasn't warning you about a dark cabal. He just didn't want them to wander onto some dude's land and get a gun pointed at them, or stumble upon said meth heads. Also...synchronicity man Every town has that one common sense, altruistic redneck kid and that was him. “Ya’ll fancy people don’t follow tweakers into the woods”.

inferis posted:If they are that worried about representation maybe they should have more people on their show than 4 straight white cis men? To be fair, as a middle aged white man in the rural south, it is kind of hard to make new friends, especially ones that are outside of your limited circles. I only have the young, varied friends that I do is because I literally showed up at the lone local gaming store with candy.

This jogged my memory. Right before the Covid lockdown, my gaming group started a post-apocalyptic/rebuilding game. Basically, some wizards hosed up real bad and caused the Sun to go super nova. As the surface becomes too hot for survival (and Fire Elementals start moving in), surface refugees pour into the underground kingdoms of the Dwarves. The Dwarves only have limited resources, so the job of adventurers is to scout and retake Dwarven tunnels and halls lost to monsters so that refugees could live there. Eventually, this would lead to eventual colonization of the Under Dark and conflict with the Drow and Illithids. Man, gently caress Covid.
