This shit's about to go off.
I guess people generally don't hit the second 't' hard in 'twenty' but they do in the word 'plenty'? That's all I got, I'm confused too

The vowel sounds in twenty (twunny) and plenty (pleh-nny) don't match.

I definitely pronounce it “twunny”, not TWEHN-tee. I’m from a state adjacent to WV so maybe it’s an east coast thing or my regional accent

I've never heard anyone pronounce it this way so it must be a regional thing.

New York City over here. I'll admit it's regional, but it's the correct region.

Yeah, I'm from Chicago and I say "twenny", "plenny", and "funny"

It's not a problem I just thought it was funny

Yeah I felt like I was having a stroke listening to that episode hearing them dismiss "penny" as not a real rhyme and then going with "funny". I can hear it if I concentrate very hard on them saying it but auditory processing vs accents is wild.

In my linguistics class the lecturer told us how people with my accent don't differentiate "el" and "al" (eg Ellen and Alan are the same) and it's driven me crazy ever since.

i changed my mind about travis's character. When he finds the character and relies less on the accent i genuinely like the character and think hes pretty fun

oh, it’s nbd really. a lot of the fan depictions of the trio before this episode tended to depict them with very fishy features—with devo specifically having cat whiskers and poo poo due to the plague that went around during the prologue.

this episode states explicitly that the fish features only afflicted a fraction of the population and that none of the main characters had it—until they accidentally brought the plague back and infected the entire undersea colony with it. devo gets some gross throat fins and Amber gets enormous fish eyes and they’ll presumably get more fish poo poo the longer the crisis goes unresolved

The plankton is almost certainly dead given the plague broke through

Presenting, the mcelroys new hit series where they return to dungeons and dragons-

The Adventure Zone: Ethermount

Its a lot about growing mushrooms and being so pale you're see through but are otherwise pretty good. There are also coral golems but for entirely unrelated reasons

edit: are the naval rules griffin uses something he adapted from dnd that exists or did he make it?

He developed the ship/ship combat rules. There are ship rules in Ghosts of Saltmarsh but my understanding is that they're kinda garbage.

I believe there's a stream where he and Brennan Lee Mulligan come up with the rules together?

I think he had mostly come up with them already and the stream was him just going over it with Brennan. Maybe a bit of tuning?

can someone actually listening confirm for me if (most recent ep spoilers) Griffin's really about to do a "a pandemic threatens our oxygen supply" arc?

because that is so funny to me I might actually start listening to ethersea

Yes, because Clint rolled a 1 on the random encounter table of 100 possibilities that Griffin made

I’m just assuming Grif started playing Fallout 76 over the pandemic. I wonder if this was the original plan for a 1 or if he pivoted into the current problem.

That aside I’m really enjoying the weekly cadence for episodes. Keeps things snappy and folks can only bitch about a given issue for so long before they move along. Makes me miss my groups weekly sessions before current affairs started.

Doing the Quiet Year has really paid off, I think. Because this doesn't feel like some random modern commentary that Griffin wants to make. It's a consequence of rolling that 1 and of course it's the terrible plague the they invented months ago that was already established in universe.
