Just free standing walls to give the appearance of a room.

 I'm here for the greens just forcing their way into becoming regular dropout guests.

Apparently Dropout is back to production. They were being cautious as they weren't specifically on the list of non-struck contracts, but they got confirmation that they're good so they're starting back up, but are still supporting the strike and not forcing performers to promote if they feel uncomfortable about it. https://twitter.com/samreich/status/1688955479765155840

Hank Green's Jimmy Stewart impression seems so affable that I missed that he's doing the noir trope of a heavy menacingly explaining something

Fully in love with this after the last side quest just didn't catch me. My current working theory is the big guy is working on some Manhattan Project-level military technology. Obviously this would be a great step forward career-wise, but his conscience is objecting. Ambition is powerful and morality is a small, quiet, easily-silenced voice. Loved the little twist about A. Tension and Imelda Pulse being cousins, I'm sure that freezer key won't come back anywhere at all. I'm also weirdly pleased that snake dick is a runner now, Hank's menacing monologued was just plain outstanding. I think the casual way he's playing the character is a great turn from either the evil-loving sadist brute or the easily-manipulated stupid oaf archetypes. I really loved the brief discussion about good impulses during the adventuring party, I agree with Brennan that those don't get enough representative in media. I recently watched Brennan's Wanderhome episode with Alex and a bunch of other people I'd never heard of, and Alex was a standout for me - they had that quick-response rich characterization I like so much about D20. I think they're nailing it here. Freddie's voice needs work imo but I love the character, Danielle is a cinnamon roll as always, and Siobhan is my favorite all-around regular D20 cast member so she can do no wrong by me. I feel like this is a concept/format they could reuse, if they wanted to - I think it's going to wind up going in a kind of Persona direction, and I already want more.

We just started Crown of Candy and the first big battle in Episode 2 is a rough watch. The terrain is very visually striking and flavorful but it blocks seeing what's going on. Even the players note multiple times that they aren't sure where other characters are. Without spoiling any details, all the extra combatants really slow things down as well. Hopefully later battles go a little more smoothly.

I was thinking along similar lines. Guessing the switchboard was probably smashed so that someone like Imelda couldn't take back the package. Too bad they acted too late, and she already used her key. Maybe the Mayor is the ultimate bad guy (driven to deliver this package and do everything he can to get it done, up to and including having the Conscience bumped off), or maybe it's a red herring for something worse that the mayor is trying to prevent. No clue yet what the mental highways falling apart mean, yet.

Some of it may just be systemic failures happening because of the great depression as essential maintenance doesn't happen. (It took me embarrassingly long to realise the great depression setting was the big guy having depression) MikeJF fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Aug 14, 2023 |

The players didn't really comment on The Big Guy getting a big shot of adrenaline served to all the drink establishments in town midway through the session. I wonder if that's him panicking about having taken the package back or...?

My wife and I thought that The Big Guy is in the process of having a stroke or something like that but we were also pretty stoned while watching so we probably missed some important clues.

Bobulus posted:The players didn't really comment on The Big Guy getting a big shot of adrenaline served to all the drink establishments in town midway through the session. I wonder if that's him panicking about having taken the package back or...? Further Mentopolis plot/setting speculation: Yeah, I think Brennan making the point that time is on a different scale inside Mentopolis suggests to me that the adrenaline and the collapses are the big guy's immediate reaction to having followed the impulse to grab the parcel - he's just now (likely at the mayor's behest, who likely represents rational thinking or executive function) starting to think about the consequences of stealing this super-important info, and getting flop-sweats - remember the sweaty buttcrack? The highway collapsing signifies, to me, the flight-freeze-or-fight reaction which can shut down higher cognitive functions. The fact that it takes a full print-news cycle, so maybe 12-24 hours in Mentopolis, to communicate a physical sensation that IRL moves at a nearly instantaneous speed via electrical pulses through the nervous system, suggests to me that the entire six-ep series is going to occur over, at absolute most, like five minutes of real time. Unless there are time-skips, of course. I imagine Imelda would have noticed she was being followed within just a couple of Mentopolis days, though I can't remember if she mentioned a timeline of newspaper->executing impulse->tailing->Curio's office. I love this poo poo.

I generally don't watch the D&D stuff, but a big fan of Game Changers. Was debating canceling my subscription for a few months while I wait, but the Wayne Brady episode just dropped. 110% worth it. Dear lord, I am crying with laughter.

I mean, who else is even doing taped improv? Wild n Out? (which I've definitely seen Wayne Brady guest on?) Not trying to undersell the compliment because it truly is high praise, but the fact that there's very few shops in that town sorta undercuts it in my opinion. Like was that meant to also be a jab at someone else who isn't doing it right?
