Pleads posted:I'm binging Total Forgiveness now and it is both a fantastic series and also just a lowkey sad premise with an uncomfortable undertone of exploitative capitalism (which tbf is also a common undercurrent of their game shows and they use it to great effect and no I won't stop watching) I still haven't watched it as I don't like the uncomfortableness of the public embarrassment, but there's plenty of other stuff. Ultra-Mechateam go zord or whatever the title is is pretty funny. Just randomly scrolling through shows isn't a bad way to find something you haven't seen, there's a ton of decent stuff they've put on there.

You have to go through the pain of total forgiveness to appreciate it. It hits different the further in you get. It's like a Jordan Peel movie for white people.

They also directly address that exact uncomfortability by the end of it and it all comes together in a really sweet resolution.

Thank you for mentioning Total Forgiveness. After binging it, that was a fantastic ride, and a great ending

Total Forgiveness was the first thing I watched don't worry Currently doing Dim20 while gaming, Game Changer if I'm actively watching. I just finished season 2, decided to skip 3 because the 'rona vibes were a bummer (as was the mic quality on episode 1).

Pinocchio wanting to know where the white women are at is a great Adventuring Party bit and I hope it bleeds into the finale somehow The Adventuring Parties for this season are generally fantastic, probably a combo of needing to decompress after a horror session and straight-up sleep deprivation Xand_Man fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Apr 7, 2023 |

Oh yeah, it's got bright spots. I wouldn't skip the whole thing, but I understand if someone watches a few eps and can't get with the vibe or again--that year as a whole is just a BUMMER to remember. Personally, I would say to skim them if you're not into it and see whether the episode is working for you before moving on to the next one.

Sam's earnesty shines through as he's roleplaying. Granted that's he's personality, but just has passive emoting is my favorite thing.

The COVID season's episode of the "Make Some Noise" challenge also has Michael loving Winslow (the guy who can make any sound from the Police Academy films) as a guest for the entire episode, filling in for one of the other 3 guys (can't remember who was missing) and you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't see at least that. I recall liking the "Who Am I" challenge too, where Sam had a specific celebrity guest waiting and the players had to ask things "20 Questions" style to work out who the guest was before they appeared.

Neverafter has been on the lower end of Intrepid Heroes seasons for me, but the Adventuring Parties make up for it. Big Neverafter episode 19 spoilers: I understand why Brennan didn't want Sibohan to sit out the finale, but why even introduce the insta-death rules otherwise? I appreciate that it was still costly, but if people can't die in the horror season when can they?

I think Pinnochio, Gerard, and the absolutely incredible battle maps have saved the season from being on the lower end for me. The battle maps alone are just beyond incredible. The dogfish is going to sell for so much at it's eventual auction.

imo this season has had about ~8 solid-to-great episodes, and a bunch of mediocre / boring ones. especially a horror themed show - you just can't keep that atmosphere going for ~25 hours. As an experiment, it failed: they should have gone for either horror-comedy or shortened it to a much smaller season imo. e: tbh I do wonder what calculations go into the season length, given that it's a paywalled streaming service

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever been bored out of my mind with an intrepid heroes season but by golly, Neverafter did it. Even Unsleeping City I just fell off for unrelated reasons, but there are numerous times I would forget what was going on as I was listening to the episode. It also really doesn’t help that NADDPOD is in a place right now that’s super exciting and interesting so it makes every episode of Neverafter feel so bloated and flaccid by comparison.

They expected some players to randomly die during the season and come back in these twisted forms, otherwise the crew wouldn't have made her "Thorn Revenant" mini ahead of time. The climactic timing here just meant that Brennan had to improvise something instantaneous rather than during a post-combat development (like I imagine would have happened if PiB had been successfully headshot in the Dogfish encounter).

That's the same impression I got. There would probably have been a discussion off camera with the player telling them they're a lot more violent or aggressive now, or Brennan would have twisted what they were doing like he did with Thumbelina. Over several episodes it could have played out really well.

I thought they said in the last Adventuring Party or so that the tokens just represented how gnarly your story/world got? Your interpretation would make more sense but if that was explicit at some point I missed it.

Yeah definitely under no circumstances start from latest and go backwards. And yeah, seconding the recommendation to sub to the patreon; their patron-exclusive content is some of the best stuff they do.
