They did not. Which is awful, cause Quiet Year is amazing.

I...don’t know if they learned their lesson from this last campaign. They need to get the gently caress away from D&D.

I still don’t quite understand why they’re playing TQY to detail the history of a land and settlements that aren’t going to be the actual setting of the game once the campaign starts. Like, if 50% of this is on land, and we don’t actually go above land in Ethersea, are those ideas just not going to be used? Isn’t Griffin just going to have to come up with a totally separate settlement anyway?

Because it's backstory and they're building the world together...?

Is the work they put into worldbuilding then going to become the backdrop for their D&D campaign? I really like that approach

I think they ended up not having the drive last year for obvious reasons. This one may have been an attempt to make up some numbers, but is obviously ill timed. May be bad news for some shows on the network. Hopefully they save Mission to Zyxx at all costs.

Mission to Zyxx is ending, according to the ads I get for it in every episode

Yeah, this. If you didn't watch the donor drive cast with Brennan Lee Mulligan, ship-to-ship combat in Ethersea will involve a detailed and in-depth subsystem that Griffin more or less wrote whole cloth.

As a person who's done that, I can assure you that it's an incredibly complicated and time-consuming process

Between munch squad consuming the back half of each ep and the fake finals, I guess we're approaching a point where you skip the first 60 seconds, then listen until you hear another song start, then just mark the podcast as played and wait for next week. Man, what a long outro song, it's like 30 minutes long!

(This week you can also skip the first 16 minutes unless you really need to hear them reinforce how good they think lockdowns are because a boomer sang a song about not liking lockdowns... like a year ago)

That song came out like 2 days ago

I was surprised at Devo being a half-elf in this episode because no one's race was ever given? Do we even know if there are elves/dwarves/etc in this world? I didn't listen to the prologue but I checked the Reddit about this and no one there had any idea either.

I wanna know where they came from, Griffin made it sound kinda like they were regular people who were in Ethersea water too long. Were there any other clues about that?

Also the reveal at the end was great. I am glad I listened to the world-creation episodes, because imo it's been super cool to see how that stuff gets integrated.

I’m guessing they’re recording big chunks at a time so Griffin has ample time to score and edit the show. The amount of work involved for Griffin would be insane if he had to do it all in a week.

Even like... planning out the sessions for a longer D&D campaign is a ton of work (though maybe easier here since he isn't using any maps). My group burns through the material I have prepped really fast if we play every week.

Brian started at about 70K at Polygon according to a Twitter thread he posted irt to salaries, something only achievable thanks to the Vox union's pay floor. Typical media salary in NYC is like ~50kish (if that, I know people full time at Bustle etc who never cracked 40), 120k is "head editor" money. That's a pretty comfortable salary even here.

I like that the podcast is a bit predictable, it's like comfort food or a meditation app at this point. It calms the nervous system after a long stressful day. I do also find it funny still, if I didn't I'd probably stop listening, but I also don't listen to it strictly for entertainment anymore. It's also nice that it's something my wife and I can do together to decompress since there's actually not a lot of media that we both enjoy.

I tried listening to the Besties around the time Cyberpunk came out and god were they awful about that game. Yeah, it didn't live up to the hype and it had a bugged release (the performance on last gen consoles is lol. Why even release it on last-gen at that point) but overall it was a solid game IMO. They completely trashed it and I'm convinced Ron Funches didn't even play the loving game because the criticism he kept coming back to was "too much South Park/GTA humor!" which....there isn't really that much of?

I am MAD ABOUT VIDEO GAMES AND PODCASTS THEREOF.

There is an absolute ton of it in the game though? Like Borderlands-level bad throughout, not to mention constant terrible references including a straight-up "the cake is a lie!" in TYOOL 2020. Every single billboard has an ad for a dildo, or a gun, or a dildo gun and one character is literally named "Mister Hands." Come on

(And this is from someone who thinks it's a solid 7/10)
