https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYespfZgeWQ griffin's amiibo corner is a real treat. it's definitely one of those series where if when they take the bit too far outfield you'll hate it (clown box, anything that he did with nick) but the whole premise is great and it ends about when it would have gotten old imo.

TAZ is in love with the final fantasy final boss as a concept.

People make a lot of things their identity. & write weird fetish fan fic about it too. As far as things go, probably better the McElory's than a lot of other stuff (4chan, cough cough).

lol how am I not surprised that Previa_fun is a Cyberpunk stan

tell me, do you think all the criticism from trans and queer ppl about having their aesthetics coopted while not being treated with any respect goes too far too?

The only deck building game you ever need to play is Magic: The Gathering.

And you don't even, strictly speaking, need to play that one.

"But this deck builder/mmo/moba/clickyclickfest is different!" Yeah, no.

lmao the stereotypical MaxFun fans are coming from inside the thread

Yeah but the default response whenever someone posts your post history is to go “uhh pretty weird dude, are you like in love with me or something??”

yeah actually they will posted:

It is imperative I see a VOD of this

Ok Comboomer posted:

referring to it as “the toxicity between the main characters” is the most stereotypical MaxFun fan “Dear Jesse…” take tho

The best Q episode is the one where Ben Sisko punches him and he immediately gets the message.

Ok Comboomer posted:

as opposed to what, some MaxFun fans pretending they’re not MaxFun fans?

a bunch of dudes in whose heads Travis McElroy, of all people, appears to live rent free?

like after Year Three of this it comes across less like funny posting and more like lowkey Chris Chan poo poo. If you hate the subject of the thread so much you should probably stop posting in it.

The entire point of starting this particular thread and killing the old one was to stop this kind of circlejerk

Heard a song on the radio and I swear it sounded just like the old mbmbam theme song

It’s an entertainment product that (ostensibly) has rules. It is serious. It’d be akin to being a fan of an NFL team where the QB doesn’t know that you can’t throw a forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage (aka, being a Jets fan). But to complete the analogy, it’d be like watching Zach Wilson huck a bajillion interceptions and bad passes into triple coverage all loving game and the refs swooped in at the end of the fourth quarter to give them the win every time and they’re 8-0 instead of what they actually are right now, 4-4. It would not only make the Jets fradulent as hell, but it’d make the product as a whole worse because nothing actually matters, the zebras are gonna swoop in and give them the win regardless. This is currently where TAZ is, because they refuse to stop repeating the lie that it is a game based off a ttrpg system as opposed to what it actually is, which is a radio play with dice rolling sfx added in to the background.

And again, like I said before, that’s loving fine. You want to make a radio play, then do it. Seriously, if that’s what the McElroys want to do, then they should do it, but I think you and I both know they can’t hack it as “real” storytellers of actual, authored narratives considering how often they trip over the low as hell bar that is AP storytelling, so instead pretend that it’s all just a game, ha-ha, while both playing the game terribly and telling bad stories. It’s this horseshit disingenuous framing of what they’re actually doing that is the central problem, while both putting out a bad product and putting on a bad showcase of the game that is supposed to be on display in their actual play podcast. And it’s made all the worse by any number of infinitely superior, better played, funnier, and more engaging AP podcasts that are put out by people without the last name McElroy who aren’t as successful because they do not have the last name of McElroy.

lol I just re-listened to this and there's a max fun ad at the end for an old podcast called Bunker Buddies hosted by Travis which was apparently about prepper stuff?? somehow I had completely memory-holed that.

I mean most of us here listen to a podcast about a movie that we have never seen done by a bunch of idiots that don’t really want to do it but kind of have to so it’s not too far out of pocket.
