there was an ongoing bit on Jordan, Jesse Go! for a while where they had people call in with jingles they had created for Walton Goggins' vanity vodka brand and some of them were surprisingly high-effort.

So I mainly use the Mcelroy website to listen to podcasts. Lately it's been doing a thing where it will play for like 20 seconds, then pause itself. I hit unpause and everything is peachy after that. Not a big deal or anything, but it's very consistent! This happening to anyone else?

The most recent Besties episode puts a lot of things into perspective:

1)Justin is a very odd duck and even the show acknowledges it.

2)These boys are extremely horny for roguelikes.

Mid March is enough time for a new variant to spin up and for them to get yelled at again. Let’s see how it plays out this time.

i wonder what their reasoning is that they don't just make, you know, what would instantly be a top-10 patreon

like not another dnd podcast is not as big as TAZ much less TAZ+MBMBAM, and they have 22,500 subscribers at a minimum $2/mo (and they're also on headgum and ad-supported as well). dungeons and daddies is smaller than naddpod i think and has 21k patrons at a minimum of $5/mo, in addition to ads

i wonder if it's some business decision or a maxfun thing? i recall i think gabrus talking about how earwolf was not cool with outside monetization, but that when he went to headgum they were like "we want to sell ads on your show, that's it, any patreon or whatever is fine with us"

They're skipping Florida and Texas, which I don't blame them for but also shows they're trying to be a bit more selective with their plague traps.

Maximum Fun is their Patreon platform right now, basically. You can't have both without pissing off the former.

Pretty sure it's illegal for businesses in Florida to ask potential patrons about their vaccination status, though I don't know if that applies only to businesses operating in the state or if that also extends to any business that's just passing through. It's probably not worth the headache to find out.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinions but I think the reason Justin didn't like Outer Wilds is the exact reason that makes the game so great - it never tells you what to do. You get to experience the joy of *discovery*, which is just so rare. Any extra guidance makes that game worse (except for that One Thing)

afaik it's not illegal, but I'm not a fancy lawyer person

CEO is hosted in Florida and they're requiring vaccines and mandatory masks in the building, though the host also wrote out that he's all too happy to pay any applicable fines in order to have a safe event

I haven't listened to the Besties 10th anniversary episode yet because I think I've got my fill of the lads championing BOTW while Justin talks poo poo about Outer Wilds

I like how in the Resties they rarely talk poo poo about anything

Honestly I don't think Justin came off that bad about Outer Wilds in this one. The others even concede that the point he makes about it bears some consideration. Edit: it is funny seeing Russ defend a game he's only played the DLC of.

But it was still hilarious hearing both Russ and Chris dunking on him. Didn't expect that.


My only point of contention in the episode, if any, was Spelunky. It's a good game! I don't know if it's that good! But again, point 2: these fellas tend to love themselves a roguelike.

I thought they were just not doing it because they were out of games that worked well for it and didn’t want to force it. If anything is well suited to revive monster factory it’s a new from soft game

E: I guess there was the thing about it feeling “mean” or whatever but that on its own seems like a ridiculous reason to stop it. They created a toucan man in bloodborne, that can’t possibly ever look like a real person
