Not true. Other people who don't work for Nook at all use bells as a currency. It's a completely legitimate currency.

It's Lottie at the Happy Home Paradise corporation who pays you in company scrip

Just who do you think issues the currency of Animal Crossing? Nook controls... everything.

Lottie is the ideal employee.

I don't think Travis even realized the extent to which he character was just the worst. It felt like he either had knowledge we didn't (that didn't pay off) about the church or that he wanted them to be more abusive than they were and Griffin didn't agree.

Every interaction Devo had with a character there was them being nice and agreeable while he yelled back at them like a moody teenager. Seemed like he was built to be a persuasive character that can solve stuff without combat but that doesn't work when you're an abrasive rear end in a top hat and I'm not sure he understood that for awhile.

Devo seems like a typical anti-religion Internet Person to me. Maybe that's what Travis was going for?

edit: i have no idea why they keep using dnd they all seem to have very little grasp on it or desire to use it. is there some kind of weird SEO at play where non dnd podcasts don't get downloads? they also seem to want to jump up epic adventures so fast but are always, like, level 5 by the time they do and it's just awkward

Not using D&D seems like a very Devo thing to do.

I feel there's a link between maintaining listenership and the direction Griffin feels he needs to take things in to recapture that magic, is all. Like trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
