Bonaventure posted:contra muppeting Do some of you live in places they don't have Muppets or something? Sesame Street has localized versions worldwide and even if you were too old to watch it you've surely encountered a child at some point who has. *Everyone* knows what muppeting is, it's the face Travis makes. It's an expression of goofy, mouth-agape joy. Pham Nuwen posted:This is a great, self-explanatory word for it, and I'm gonna go with it. Even if "Capt. Rainbowbeard" sounds like the sort of username Travis would have... Lol, fair. My facial hair is naturally brown, black, white, blond, and red, though.

“Dipshit face” is gender neutral, has no baggage, and anyone doing that expression looks like a dipshit.

I gotta say, it really just seems like a normal face to me that does not inspire any particular emotion, and the amount of rage it apparently generates among you folks kinda makes me feel like I am in the Twilight Zone.

It's vaguely embarrassing but not the end of the world, and using the 4chan term for it is not going to bring about full fascism.

I notice how nobody is owning up to living in a fifth-world country with no Muppets, the beloved Travis-face-making puppets.

eke out posted:lol please explain further for those of us not listening to graduation anymore From the majority of the reactions I've seen on both Reddit and surprisingly Twitter where it's getting some significant blowback, the first 27 minutes is Althea trying to convince the boys to take a nap, eventually basically roofieing them so they could have dream sequences. E: Apparently even the separate side subreddit that was made to only say nice things about Graduation is having a hard time finding nice things to say about this episode.

That's honestly a whole new level of railroading. Like why not just wait for them to take a long rest if you really want to do a dream sequence.

I've been liking some things and not liking some things about Graduation, but this latest episode was chock full of all the worst things about this season. I hope we wrap up soon and start something new.

Since you didn't listen to it maybe you shouldnt share other things people just made up on Reddit? First 15 minutes is making a plan to get into the school. Then Travis suggests that they take a long rest which they all quickly agree since they have low HP. Before the rest Travis allows the players to just talk to themselves for a while and they make some goofs. Then they sleep. There is one quick dream about what the Commodore is doing. Then one to close a Firbolg plot loop. Then a longer one where all 3 talk to Chaos and get some information about them. Then Festo wakes them up and invites them to a Fairy Rave.

Fitz is extremely excited to go to the Fairy Rave and they all willingly take the Fairy Ectasy right away. The whole thing is like 5 minutes and is just a quick plot device to get his powers back ahead of the finale.

Yeah what, 100% what Zero One said.  like Griffin literally went "YEAH!" about going to the party and then they immediately all talked about their party outfits, and his only reluctance about the drug is that Fitzroy is worried about obviously doing drugs in front of the Goodcastle knights who just arrived.The only thing that particularly annoyed me in this episode is I feel like Travis could do a better job making inhuman NPCs like Chaos/Order or the forest spirit feel more otherworldly. I can't really put my finger on it, but it feels like they're missing that element that would make them more interesting and differentiate them.

at 51:05, on MaxFun: https://maximumfun.org/episodes/adventure-zone/the-adventure-zone-graduation-ep-35-multiple-choice/ quote:T: Festo distributes three vials and says, "Hurry, drink this!" i get that you're saying it's a fun bit but griffin clearly does cotton to it not being extremely dope to put in their vocally progressive podcast, which is probably why they've added a content warning to the ep for drugs lol

Yea reading that quote its fine but of course it's not really shocking it's been misconstrued and blown out of proportion so much, this is a fan base that freaks out at silly things like Fat Shark and frequently overreact to the slightest thing so they can accuse the brothers of not being the most progressive people on the planet.
