00:02:32
Speaker
a lot of people play it, and there's a chat room, which ah automatically makes us an MMO. Having a chat room. I some people might quibble with your definition of MMO.

00:04:52
Speaker
We can have it all. Anyways. back to the podcast welcome back did you know that we waited a week just so that we didn't have to do the thing that we've been doing which is that it's a new month like like the week we're recording so that we can't talk about any the new month stuff in the podcast but now i waited till it's the first it's the first of may today yeah I mean, who knows when this is going to come out, but again, i can now talk about such an amazing planner.
00:05:23
Speaker
Listen, I just, I cannot stress to you viewers how amazing. I know I but un did. put a lot of work into this. ah She, she spent so much time being like, by the way, we're doing it a week later.
00:05:36
Speaker
i mean, that must've taken at least five seconds. It was five seconds, but listen, it's the little things that count. It is the little the little things that count. So, all right. I'm going to pull the, what's it called? What, what, what? but The updates.
00:05:52
Speaker
i I thought you were going to go through the updates. No, I'm going to go through the updates, but I do you want to just talk about the swear jar winner from last. Already? That's early. No, it isn't. We usually do this right now. we do it after updates. No.
00:06:05
Speaker
Listeners, back me up here. Listen, I don't care even you back them up. It's hard to pause. No, I'm making executive decisions tonight, and my executive decision is that It's, it's, we're doing it now.
00:06:19
Speaker
Um, we're doing it live. I've been demoted. I've been demoted. This is ridiculous. We're doing it live is what i I'm saying. And who, wait well who was it? I did put it in here. just You know what I'm about to razz you about. I know. good This is about to be.
00:06:35
Speaker
So he wants to razz me because he forced me to switch it to a random method and instead of me just scrolling. And now every time I pick one randomly, He's like, I don't know that you picked it randomly, even though I sent him the screenshot of like the number that I pulled.
00:06:52
Speaker
What if she just clicked the number until she got the person that she wanted? I'm saying. Why would I do that? don't know. would take much more time. I'm lazy enough as it is. It's very psychopathic, and that's why I'm worried.
00:07:06
Speaker
No, I wouldn't do that. Anyway, it's Girl Toy. Girl space toy. i did not pick this. ah That is the name. That is the winner. It's random. Listen, here's the thing.
00:07:18
Speaker
This is how you know it's random because I wouldn't pick you based on your name at all. I would not want to say this live on air. Not live, but on me. Why would I want to say Girl Toy? not Not for nothing, your name's very cool.
00:07:31
Speaker
It's like boy toy, but girl toy. i I appreciate it. But I probably wouldn't have picked it. I'm fearing this, having to talk about this specifically on the podcast. You know what i mean?
00:07:42
Speaker
Anyway, girl toy, girl space toy, send me a message. Don't tell them to send me a message. They have to listen to this podcast and hear their name live. Okay? So... I highly doubt it. Someone is going to they're gonna message them. that's It's fine.
00:07:57
Speaker
It's fine. I don't think actually the last person even got to me. i don't remember who it was. but Oh, no. Yeah, it happens. It's fine. I wait for people. and they saved They saved us for the budget. I know. i loved one i just increase budget so end of the end of the year podcast swear jar can be bigger.
00:08:12
Speaker
I mean, maybe. Actually, we could do a bigger one in December, i guess. Heck yeah. Yeah, let's just do a bigger one in December. We could do it. You know? That's fine. We got the budget for it because people are claiming their swear jars.
00:08:25
Speaker
This is what makes us great collaborators. This is true. Correct. All right. On to the
New Features and Events in April
00:08:30
Speaker
updates. Now that we got that out of the way. Updates. So this was April. I can't believe it's over.
00:08:37
Speaker
Can you believe April is over already? No, I cannot. No. ah can Do you want to start or do you want me to start? This is a really long set of notes. That said, i you know, I'll go ahead and start it off. Thank you. But I will truncate it to say that April 1st, a time-honored tradition for us here at the Farm RPG admin crew is to write a couple of joke notes, which is the first half of the notes, more like a third,
00:09:05
Speaker
But I have ah quite a bit of fun writing those and the rest of the team does too. And we hope that you enjoy some of the jokes that we make, sometimes at our own expense and sometimes at other people's expense.
00:09:18
Speaker
So, you know, there's that. I don't write any jokes. I'm not a joke writer. Oh, whatever. So we do, we did have some stuff happen in April.
00:09:29
Speaker
ah We had the starter pack come out, which had lemon seltzer in it, which people seem to like, but maybe don't think is as good as it might be. So, you know, maybe we just need to hand out a couple more.
00:09:41
Speaker
We also did the fuzzy chick event, which I always love these month-long events of finding stuff and the slow rollouts. Props to the whole admin team for kind of coordinating that and trying to get it all going. Very fun to watch everyone kind of discover as it comes out we also invited some new farmhands to the group uh they are all mostly focused on the giveaways chat although you might see them other places so if you do see these farmhands out and about feel free to send them a trout or a hello it's applejack balen black widow and valette renault renew no who knows it's a word it's a word it's not in french it's
00:10:23
Speaker
From Brandon Sanderson novels, which makes it even harder for me to know. God. It's from a book? Yeah. Books aren't out loud. ah yeah, I know. So it's not like I could have listened to the audio book. Anyways, we also had new raptors. We had some limited crafts ah in the eyeballs. And then we also had some new permanent crafts, which I heard you like making silk.
00:10:50
Speaker
So we made a bunch more silk crafts. Weird, you love silk. So that we were making more crafts that involve silk and crushing many bugs to make more It's really funny. It's super funny because someone in chat today said, I wish this town would find other textiles interesting.
00:11:08
Speaker
And I said, when you find silk, you'll never go back to its other ilk. And it's true. i mean, good Lord. Silk feels amazing. Grown. Big groan. Oh, man. All right. Well, on to April 9th, which we had some more fuzzy chicks and some eggs.
00:11:28
Speaker
ah Basically, there were we just kept like dropping them throughout the month. So there was like a slow rollout of these things. Basically, we had also new quest line, new quest line, Monster Hunter.
00:11:41
Speaker
You can get a new Cockatrice. Yeah. April 9th. Cockatrice. The Cockatrice. The Cockatrice chicken variation, which honestly may be my favorite chicken.
00:11:53
Speaker
It's really good. It is a good chicken. It's good. um It's tough. It's a tough quest. It's hard. You need a lot of stuff for that one. You do need a lot of stuff for that one. The story on that one I'm particularly happy with. it's It is very good.
00:12:06
Speaker
And the rewards are also excellent. I'm not going to... It's in spoilers if you want to know, but... I mean, I guess we shouldn't... It's only been out for a month. But hey, check out rare items, locations, and whatever the last L is if you're very curious because the end of Monster Hunter does have an impact on your gameplay a little bit. It does. Just a little bit. It's really good though, especially if you're working Just little icing on the top.
00:12:31
Speaker
If you're working on silk, it's like priceless. Let's be real. All right. There are some small bug fixes and some other performance optimizations made, i suppose. um I'm just going to do also the 14th because that was a short update, unless you want to take it.
00:12:49
Speaker
no go ahead. All right. Oh, we did a mini event! The mini event we announced it. So we had a mini event from the 18th to the 21st, and we gave out a bunch of, like, bonus XP and bonus silver and bonus mastery.
00:13:05
Speaker
And also, you could get more eggs and fuzzy chicks. So I always love that when it's like constant. It's very fun. Like Borg and biting egg. I love Borg and biting egg. That's inviting fuzzy. Thank you.
00:13:17
Speaker
We're going to buy Biting fuzzy is good also. So, but yeah, excellent.
00:13:25
Speaker
Okay. So we could talk about the end of April and I'll let you talk about May. ah So at the end of April here, we released the Quick Meals panel, which is one of my personal favorite additions that we've done in quite a while.
00:13:39
Speaker
I really, really like it. I've always thought that something had to make it a little bit better, and it's fantastic. So if you were beta, unfortunately, you didn't have access to it anymore. You do have to go buy it at the Farm Supply. So if you're wondering where the Quick Meals panel went as a beta player, it's in Farm Supply now. You just have to pay gold for it and you get it forever.
00:14:00
Speaker
Very handy. I use it basically daily. buts so It's the best. I do love it. And then we ah announced something that we were going to put in Alpha, which was the grape juice vat, and I'll talk about that more in a second. In the next update, we also released some special more special help requests. It was in the fuzzy egg chick line where you could get the chicken raptor egg.
00:14:26
Speaker
Not to be confused with a raptor chicken egg. yeah ah And ah then we had the egg of chicken, which allows you to expand the egg of chicken, egg of it which allows you to expand your chicken coop, which was a fun idea ah that we had at one point ah in early April and went to it.
Ending April: Features and Changes
00:14:49
Speaker
Moving on to April 28th, we had the grape juice vat hit beta. So if you're not in beta, let me give you a little preview on what the grape juice vat is. It is a building that uses all of your grape juice at once. You select the seed, you hit brew, or I don't remember the name, and boom, you're done.
00:15:07
Speaker
Use all your grape juice. So, what you know, there can be quite a bit of clicks involved in using a grape juice. So we just decided to make it cooler. And so that's what we did.
00:15:18
Speaker
It will be a farm supply perk eventually. So if you really are like, hey, I really don't mind doing that route, then you're good. You don't have to worry about it. Yeah, it's pretty bomb.
00:15:29
Speaker
I love the vat. It's excellent. It's an excellent thing. 100% agree. We also added some. We added some commas around the game.
00:15:41
Speaker
Something people have been requesting for a very long time. ah You know, QOL. Yeah. But and then we had a change that I really, really liked, which was if you have a starter pack, you buy the starter pack or you get it, say, after doing all your chores, the starter pack appears at the top of your lockbox now. So if you're like me, you're like, I definitely got a starter pack, but I really don't remember the name of it. And you're far too lazy to go in the library, which I'm also really good at being ah now you know exactly what it is. And you're a very nasty hoarder. all that all
00:16:15
Speaker
All the hoarders, because you have so many things in your lockbox you you're in your locksmith that you have to scroll 100 miles, that's why we had to add this. It's because of Horde RPG.
00:16:28
Speaker
That's it. Wait, is there any other way to play this game? there isn't another way to play it. i The amount of starter packs that I have... that are unopened is like every starter pack that has ever existed. It's crazy.
00:16:42
Speaker
It is ungodly. The amount of starter packs that I have that are just sitting there, just sitting there, rotting away. If there's one that you specifically want, you're going to pay big gold for it. You know, hit me up. Well, that's going to be treat bag. Oh, six, three bag. Oh, six. I probably have like four.
00:16:57
Speaker
You are sitting on a gold mine. I know. I know. That's okay though. I don't need them. Gold mine. That gets us through April. had a good April. We had a good April.
00:17:09
Speaker
We did have a good April. April was busy. We had a lot going on. Those buzzies kept everybody going. Also, a lot new quests. why I know. it let's thank our Let's thank our resident quest writer, Tenfu, who just really keeps everyone... Don't worry about me. I'm talking about Tenfu, man.
00:17:27
Speaker
He crushes it. I have a big bug in here. Sorry. There's a large bug that came in the window. That's scaring me. It's like this big. Do we need to do we need to take a podcast pause?
00:17:38
Speaker
Yes, actually. Hang on. Okay. All right. We're back. Sorry about that. The realm's been saved. I had to squash a large bug. That was scaring me. It was so loud. Sorry.
00:17:50
Speaker
so but That was a break. It was. It was like me w rustling around in my office for a minute.
00:18:01
Speaker
Oh, God. Anyway. And we've all discovered now how inappropriate your shirt is. Oh, yeah. It is pretty inappropriate. You didn't get the... I don't think Princess Zelda got to see it.
00:18:13
Speaker
but i after podcast Maybe after the but after the podcast. So the front is this, obviously. But the back is inappropriate. and i'm I'm ready. um the I'm not going to stand up. It's just got a swear word on it.
00:18:26
Speaker
it's It's the swear jar. My chaste eyes and ears. Oh, swear word. Anyway.
00:18:33
Speaker
May
Farm RPG Birthday and New Additions
00:18:34
Speaker
1st. May 1st. It's today. It's today's date. It's today's date. Guess what May is? It's Farm RPG's birthday month. Farm RPG is a Taurus, obviously, and it's turning it's turning four Obviously. Why wouldn't it be a Taurus? It's a cow. Come on.
00:18:55
Speaker
These are all going right over Yeah, whatever. ah So this is written in the style of um everybody's favorite everybody's favorite character, The Thing.
00:19:06
Speaker
ah i think it's The Thing, yeah. The Thing. ah I'm not going to read it because it's ridiculous, but there's a new starter pack. There's new a new raptor for the month. Also, there's three new raptors that you can hatch any time of the year because we needed some extras.
00:19:23
Speaker
ah Just because this new design didn't have any... in it. like We didn't have any ones you can hatch anytime, so we decided to throw some in. Sorry, it makes it harder to get the new raptors, but sabri eyes surprise, it is what it is.
00:19:38
Speaker
You live and you learn, and you love. I'm glad you reminded me. I'm going to go pet my raptor pen right now. Yeah, go do it. ah There's some new buddy dolls. Two of them. Buddy dolls. Buddy dolls. New mailboxes.
00:19:52
Speaker
some stuff in the soap shop that's and updating eventually. i think it already did update, actually. um But what what was this this month? Oh, yeah. The birthday surprise box 04.
00:20:03
Speaker
It's just like the birthday surprise box 03, like last year. But this year, you can get any of the starter packs from the this month. or they Not this month. This last year.
00:20:14
Speaker
In the last 12 months. And the 03, I think. Does it? Oh, three is included. think. I think. pretty sure. not sure. to get double check. Yeah. Go double check before we.
00:20:27
Speaker
Okay, cool. I'll go double check. I'll just go do the grunt work while you have. Yeah. You do the grunt work. Pee on. Let's go. Come on. Chop, chop. But yes, so it's very, very cool. Also, you get some pieces of cake and a party horn.
00:20:42
Speaker
um If you are worried about the party horn, since it does not come in the monthly chores, there will be a quest later on the month that will deliver that to you because it doesn't come in the starter pack. So don't sweat it.
00:20:54
Speaker
We are going to give you that in a quest. It's true. It's true. I saw some people sweating it. Also, it is not just the previous 12. It's the previous 24, which is what I thought. It's both of them.
00:21:05
Speaker
Yeah. just wanted to be clear before I said something and sounded like a fool. And then I could also embarrass you. I didn't realize it was literally all 24 starter packs that have ever existed.
00:21:17
Speaker
and it's And you cannot get the 03 in it, actually. I thought you could. I guess we got rid of the recursion at some point. So I don't know if that's known in them. But you can get an 04 again.
00:21:30
Speaker
You can get an 04 again, but you can't get an 03 again. can't get an 03 again. Okay, because last year you could get an 03. Okay. Yeah. Clarify. Clear things up.
00:21:42
Speaker
Clarity. Yeah. yeah Yeah. cool but yeah co cool cool cool so a lot of people are getting those you know it looks like today a lot of the villagers got their four stars because i saw that it was very cool yeah all the villagers got the first we default all the villagers to we default a majority i should not say all because someone somewhere will um actually me we default a majority of villagers to uh may 2021 their start date wouldn't t one as their start date
00:22:14
Speaker
Yes, because they are a villager. They live here. And even if they aren't here yet, they've lived here the whole time. You just haven't met them yet.
Upcoming Events and Feedback
00:22:22
Speaker
They've been here the whole time. and
00:22:26
Speaker
But yeah, that's the... hoping someone gets that reference. I didn't get it. It's gone over my head fully. See, astrology... astrology ah Yeah, astrology joke, what or not even a joke, I'm just talking about astrology.
00:22:41
Speaker
Went directly over your head, whatever you just said, over my head. Fair enough. So, do we have anything else to look forward to this month while we're talking before we get into getting to know our guests? There's always a huge event yeah for Is the Wop Pinata coming back? Yeah.
00:23:01
Speaker
Oh, yeah. The Pinata coming back. Oh, that's so exciting. I think I'm doing some new art for it, too. so Yay. Are you going to make us feel bad for Wopping? Yes. I love that. Cry cry about it.
00:23:13
Speaker
One person in chat today also picked up on my WAP joke. Oh, really? Really, really pinatas don't WAP. But if you recall, about a year ago, there was a certain song that went very viral.
00:23:29
Speaker
And ah this was my homage to that. yeah shout out Shout out to Kendrick. Shout out Kendrick, baby. I know all the words to that song, but I'm not allowed to sing it unless I'm in the car by myself. And even then I have to censor myself. Yeah.
00:23:45
Speaker
I love that song. It's a good song. I love that song. It is a good song. So we should have a wrap off at some point. No, no, no, no. That's not happening. No wrap offs.
00:23:57
Speaker
I know all the words to Alphabet Aerobics, too. Oh, do you? who I did it for my daughter one time. I was like, hey, did you know your dad knows all these lyrics?
00:24:07
Speaker
Obviously, I had to censor myself. But other than that, she was like like, I didn't know you knew how to talk that fast. I was like, I think I'm cooler dressing You're impressing her. Good.
00:24:21
Speaker
That's where you want to be. That's where you want to be. Oh, what was the question I wanted to ask everybody? It was the question, the question. Oh, so we put out a call, let's see if you guys wanted video or didn't want video.
00:24:34
Speaker
I think we're going to continue video because a lot of people said, yes, they do enjoy the video. I got so many DMs about that. like You got them. I didn't get any. Five days. like i would wake up to like three to seven messages like talking about how much they love the podcast and they love the video format.
00:24:52
Speaker
and They reached out to you so much. Nobody reached out me. I got one message about it, which is really It was so uplifting. Thank you so much. We so appreciate you guys listening to our silly podcast. And watching us on YouTube. Watching, evidently. Yes.
00:25:08
Speaker
which is crazy. We love it. Thank you. um But we did also put a call out for people to give us some suggestions of stuff onto our cool improve loop, which is on the podcast library page.
00:25:21
Speaker
And we got one, which i which is good, ah because that's better than zero. And it's basically, hi, I love the podcast and getting to know the staff, but I was wondering if there could be a segment on the podcast or a specific part of Farm RPG mechanics could be explained.
00:25:38
Speaker
For example, i don't understand how truffles work or the the ah RFC. We don't talk about it. Sorry. ah even Even more ah depth into strategy, tackling events like the egg hunt, because I get lost sometimes.
00:25:53
Speaker
I know some stuff is in the library, but I can't read the library when driving. Anyway, thanks for reading. And I hope you guys keep up the podcast. And that's from Sam Daham. um And Sam?
00:26:04
Speaker
Sam Daham. I think this is a great idea. I'm 100% with you. I think it's a wonderful idea. We can talk about truffles today, too. I have no problem. But if if if you guys want to suggest things that you want to hear about, you give us a holler. and Send us some ideas. like Either I will speak on it, or you you know we could always like insert you know are everyone's favorite librarians, RKM or Koala Korgi, and be like, hey, do you want to explain this mechanic?
00:26:35
Speaker
Yeah, we can have them record themselves. We have them record themselves and have like an explain that mechanic section if I'm not
Princess Zelda's Insights and Humor
00:26:43
Speaker
qualified. Right. Which I rarely am.
00:26:45
Speaker
Send your topics of interest either ah to me or to Force Path. Probably Force Path, to be honest. He'll be better about it. But ah send it to one of us or you can put it on the improve loop.
00:26:58
Speaker
And we will see if we can get you added to a segment. Yeah, great idea. That's why we like feedback. We do like feedback. We appreciate it.
00:27:08
Speaker
So thank you. Hey, we should talk to our guests, though. yeah Yes. Welcome. Welcome to the podcast. Thanks for joining us. Princess Zelda. Hello. That was a weird voice. Was it?
00:27:21
Speaker
I like to do a weird voice. It was little bit odd. Yeah, know. It's okay. So... you You are one of our many farmhands. What chat are you mostly in? is it like I think it's giveaways.
00:27:33
Speaker
Yeah, I pretty much live in giveaways. Is it your favorite chat? um I would say it is my favorite chat, yeah. What about giveaways and makes it your favorite chat, though? Tell us a little bit about why you like giveaways. And also tell us a little bit about you and like how you started the game. Give give us a little bit of Princess Zelda lore.
00:27:53
Speaker
Um, so I started the game, i think I just was like trying to find a game on the app store. And then i found this little farming game called farm RPG and started playing it and then haven't stopped since.
00:28:07
Speaker
Um, so I basically have started in giveaways when I first joined and I've never really left giveaways. Okay. Um, They're just really silly. Like, I know it's a really fast chat and it's very overwhelming, but a lot of the time they're just... They cause so much chaos and you're just like, I love it.
00:28:29
Speaker
There are silly gooses in there. Yeah. And you can... It's like kind of like throwing french fries at seagulls. Like, they'll all just come flying at whatever you're tossing at them. Like, they're very...
00:28:43
Speaker
I like that and know that analogy of comparing them all to seabirds um swooping for french fries. That is accurate, actually. Because all you have to do is go in there put eyeballs in. Like, if you do the eyeballs, you get swarmed. People, like, come at you for doing it.
00:29:00
Speaker
Yeah, I love going in giveaways. It's fun. Oh, yeah. Everybody loves you in giveaways for his pet. It's like, oh, my gosh. It's not about me. I just think it's fun. Yeah. Also, yeah, the celebrity of it when an admin stops in there. Every time I peek my head in, I get I get swarmed and I can't update my mailbox fast enough to like send people stuff. You know, when it like glitches out sometimes and it's like I'm trying to send a ton of stuff to a bunch of people and it won't let me. I'm like, oh, but yeah, giveaways. Crazy place.
00:29:30
Speaker
I need to stop in there more. Great folks. I try to go in once a week now. I don't i never see Princess Zelda in there, though. I'm wondering if maybe she's ah she's putting on airs here.
00:29:40
Speaker
Oh, my goodness. I'm slacking. Slacking lately. That's okay. always chat It's all right. I think that's that's a big piece of of being ah a part of Farm RPGs. it's not You don't have to be here all the time.
00:29:53
Speaker
That's true. I'm, you know, there's some days where I'm looking at chat the entire time and there's some days where I'm barely looking at chat depending on my workload. So it's one of those things. It's tough to keep eyes on all the time.
00:30:06
Speaker
But that's why we've got a big team. We've got a lot of people. And now, you know, Giveaways is pretty staffed up. We really staffed it up because it it is like, you know, it's kind of an unruly space where And we just kind of... Unruly. yeah You're going to get s flack for that.
00:30:22
Speaker
I might. But it is. They can admit it. They know. I feel like that chat knows that they need... They just need gentle guidance. is the They have their theyre a little horde of ah mods that just just do giveaways.
00:30:37
Speaker
Perfect. It works out. They just like need their like soft, gentle, like, hey, like let's just... yeah There's no need. Gentle parenting it really is...
00:30:48
Speaker
if The vibe is a completely different from likeke spoilers modding. Or you just go in there and be okay, it's time to move on. Like that. like but back Red box, red box, red box.
00:31:00
Speaker
um I don't know, actually. um really read We don't really red box spoilers very often. I feel like we red box trade. I red box giveaways lot. Yeah, I mean, that's good way to it.
00:31:11
Speaker
That's a good way to do it. I love the red box. So Princess Zelda, you know, you told a little bit about yourself, a little bit about giveaways. What's your favorite thing about Farm RPG? Like, what what what drew you in initially, other than chat? If you say chat, I'm coming after you.
00:31:26
Speaker
But it's totally okay if you say that. ah But tell us a little bit about what what brought you into Farm RPG. What keeps you going? love ah So, first of all, the community. But i ah also, i really enjoy just, like,
00:31:40
Speaker
i don't know, this going to sound weird, but, like, I enjoy being able to play the game how I want to play it compared to, like, how maybe everybody else does. um Just because, like, I know when I first started, did not... I sold a lot of things I shouldn't have sold, like, very high-valuable items like goldfish and, like, blah.
00:32:00
Speaker
And so I've always kind of unintentionally done that, just like not always reading library links and not doing this, that, and the other. there And so that's just kind of why I fell in love with the game, realizing like, okay, I don't have to do like be perfect for it to get me to the path I want to go through. It's totally Love that.
00:32:21
Speaker
love that answer. That's such a great answer. Thank you. thing is that people really try to harp on other people for not playing the game. Like, the perfect way or, you know, the most efficiently. I i don't play efficiently. avoid stuff.
00:32:36
Speaker
I love the void. We some things to avoid daily nets. I avoid my antlers someday. Don't tell, don't tell Luna. She'll kill me. But I do. I avoid antlers like all the time, constantly.
00:32:50
Speaker
But you know what? Hey, it's I'm playing the way I want to play. Well, so are you going to do it? i love that I love The Void. The Void's so good. I'm friends with The Void.
00:33:02
Speaker
BFFs even. BFFs. So...
00:33:10
Speaker
Giveaways is your favorite chat. It is. Now, think you know probably where we're going with this oh no Who on our team is your favorite mod?
00:33:26
Speaker
Dun, dun, dun. Dun, dun, dun. It's a hard choice. It really is. There's a really a lot of, we have a lot of great, we have a lot of great mods. I mean, i love the entire staff, but um my favorite mod is probably Jules.
00:33:40
Speaker
Good choice. Good choice. Good choice. She's like number one. every Everybody's favorite, Jules. It's hard to dislike Jules. It's really, it is true. I don't think anybody dislikes Jules.
00:33:54
Speaker
It's hard. It's hard. It's true. And you know what? Her mom listens. So her mom will be probably sending you a message. I love Jules' mom. Jules' mom's the best. She really is.
00:34:04
Speaker
Shout out Jules' mom. We love you. Thanks for listening. But this is a double-edged sword question, by the way, because you know what's coming now. Who is your least favorite mod? So this...
00:34:19
Speaker
Oh, sorry. No, no, you're good. It's okay to to continue with trends. I'm going to give you that as the options. So it comes with a caveat because the last time i tried to even think about defending this person, i got a permaban from an advent.
00:34:37
Speaker
Oh, no. No.
00:34:41
Speaker
man what admin permabans anyone that seems I wonder which one I wonder I think I think we might be looking at one it might be I there's only one one there's only one of us that likes to permaband people Um, so I'm sad. I'm sorry to say but I'm going to go with Koala Corgi. Good choice. Good choice.
00:35:06
Speaker
Everybody's least favorite. Dunk on him. Dunk him. Get dunked on. Get dunked on, Casey. Love that.
00:35:17
Speaker
i guess I'll have to go chat ban him now just to kind of reinforce that. Yeah, may as well. And while you're doing that, Why don't you give us... I'm not going to say it. We're not saying it. Last time we said it. We said it the last time. don't know so many people... Some magical things. Some magical thing.
00:35:33
Speaker
So if you go, you know, to where you go to pick up items from the the townspeople, and you would enter in this phrase... This... um
00:35:47
Speaker
This is getting more ridiculous by the minute. creative with it. The magical sentence it's a secret to everybody. No apostrophe.
00:35:59
Speaker
Spaces. right and spaces yeah No apostrophe. It's a secret to everybody. to everybody. yeah so If you go and enter that somewhere, i don't know where,
00:36:13
Speaker
You might get something. A place. A place. um You'll get something, something, something. Yep. Yep. You know, and I do have to say, we need more redemptions on that specific page. So get to it, people.
00:36:26
Speaker
Why? are we Are we slacking on redemptions? We are. slacking on redemptions. What the heck? What the heck? I just want everyone to know that we're slacking.
Truffle Mechanics Explained
00:36:35
Speaker
And I'm looking at you, dear user.
00:36:38
Speaker
Hmm. Yeah, look directly into their eyes. There are so many of these opportunities, and you could be opening all of them. You could be doing way better than what you're doing right now.
00:36:51
Speaker
Yeah. Just saying. Yeah. I mean, it is it? That's it. That's all we have to say. That's the... That's all have to say about that. That's that. stands that that Anyway.
00:37:02
Speaker
but i mean, it could be tea time now. I feel like... or I mean, yeah. What and we yeah else do we have? well let's Let's do the truffle mechanics. Give us the truffle mechanics. i The truffle mechanics. I need to be mansplain the truffle mechanics.
00:37:19
Speaker
Well, I am not participating in that, so y'all are good to go. just a joke It's just a joke. Just tell me about it. I don't know i don't know how they work. I have no idea. i just play this game. i don't da hes i'm like i'm on side.
00:37:34
Speaker
Yeah. Who knows? I don't know. but Tell us about it. Okay. So the truffle mechanic... The way that you get truffles is there is a quest that opens up. I could not tell you the tower level that it opens up because I'm being put on the spot. And I feel very guilty that I don't have a categorical knowledge of these things.
00:37:56
Speaker
I mean, did you write the quest? I did, yeah. You did? Okay, well, no excuse. I'm feeling a little feeling little bad right now. Let me go i click over here and then click over here. And then I got to wait for it to load.
00:38:08
Speaker
So I'm going to go find out because I don't want to feel bad. So I'm just going to vamp for a second. you know One of my favorite um flavors is the Guara.
00:38:18
Speaker
Guara? I don't know how to pronounce that. just Me either, but it's so delicious. Yeah, we were talking about Red Bull before we started recording. There's a soda. There's soda that is only that flavor.
00:38:31
Speaker
and It comes from Brazil. um And I found out about it from one of our old farmhands, Saf. And I bought a 12-pack of it. And I can tell you, it's delicious. Especially if you like that flavoring.
00:38:46
Speaker
And I love that flavoring. but You know, very fantastic. Anyways, let's talk about truffles. Now that I vamp for a few seconds, ah the Smell of a Fungi Quest opens up and at Tower 1, actually. So if you finish ah ATI, ah which is... towering investment.
00:39:08
Speaker
There you go. A towering investment. I didn't want to say it wrong because I knew i would get rolled for it. Yeah, I got you. Thank you. Don't worry. Appreciate you. Smell of a Fun Guy comes out.
00:39:20
Speaker
And this is a quest that will take you a little bit to do. It's definitely meant to be a little bit more difficult than ATI. Not too difficult, but it's definitely goingnna it's going to take a little investment of time.
00:39:35
Speaker
Once you do it, you'll get most of the way through that quest through to Part 8. Part 8 will give you a special item called the Pig Collar. and Once you get the pig collar, um it will unlock something on your account. It's not visible to you.
00:39:49
Speaker
But when you pet your pigs or feed them in this case, it's not pet. ah When you feed your pigs, the over reset, each one of your pigs has a random chance based on their level to provide you a truffle.
00:40:05
Speaker
um And there are different rarities. So there's white and black right now. Maybe we should add more in the future. I don't know. Rainbow. those truffles have a very high sell value at some points. So once you've been feeding your pigs, you'll start noticing in your inventory that you may have received some white truffles. may start slow and speed up.
00:40:28
Speaker
And then if you go into the stock market, you know, you got The steak market. is Is it the steak market? Yeah, that's right. is the steak market because it was we made the joke steak to stock. Anyways. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:40:41
Speaker
I feel this is, don't put me on the spot here. i know. You've got the kebabs and you've got the steaks and then you'll notice on the bottom there's truffles there.
00:40:52
Speaker
And the way that those truffles work is they're a randomized price. They have a range. um And you'll see on there that there's the low there's um the chance of the value increasing.
00:41:04
Speaker
it This mechanic kind of didn't work out the way that I had hoped or wanted it to. um But essentially, it looks at how many have sold in a day, and it changes the range of what it can roll based on the overall value of how many have been sold with relation to how many are in image. And, you know, for those of you who um are very worried about that, it only looks at the last seven days ah players active. So if you haven't been active for a long time, you have a lot of truffles, you don't go against that large amount of truffles that are in.
00:41:36
Speaker
So ah anyways, the point is, is the system checks every night, looks at that rate and how many have been sold. And then it has a huge range of values based on that, how many have been sold the previous night, and then it will just roll.
00:41:48
Speaker
So sometimes you hit the jackpot and you will see that the number goes way up. um And then you'll hear a bunch of people going sell, sell, sell. And it should be very, very valuable to you.
00:42:00
Speaker
um The envision from when I made this wasn't for you to hold until the highest value. But I recognize how ignorant that was of me now. But, you know, what's done is done.
00:42:11
Speaker
So that's truffles in a nutshell. ah The goal with truffles was to be similar ah to how much you would be making from large nets around t one hundred to t two hundred and then eventually outpace large nets, which we've seen.
00:42:29
Speaker
so And the reason for that is because we want more silver in the system so that we can do more stuff with silver um as players get closer to the endgame. I'm not going to reveal what you'll do with that silver, but just know there's a plan there, um even if it takes a little bit to come
Hosts' Gaming Updates
00:42:44
Speaker
out. so Hey, welcome to Mechanics with Force Path. I've been Force Path.
00:42:49
Speaker
You've been great. Thank you. Thank you for telling me about how that works, because I... I knew how to get truffles and how they came to me by the the the feeding of the pigs, but I did not know.
00:43:03
Speaker
may vaguely knew how the the market thing worked, but like barely because I don't know. All that stuff, hard for me. Hard for me to understand. And some people don't care. Some people really care. If I get truffles, I get truffles. If I don't know, I don't know.
00:43:22
Speaker
So... Very, very cool. Well, thank you. Thank you for the info. The info dump. Info dumping with Force Path. We love it. It's perfect. That's what we need. We need like... See, the problem with that is, though, there are people that are far more knowledgeable about the actual...
00:43:39
Speaker
like I understand how it works systemically, but there are people that are way better explaining it than me these days. like I used to be deep into it, but you talk to like an RKM or a Luna or a Koala Korg, those guys can can really give you the nuts and bolts from a player perspective, not necessarily all the mechanics.
00:44:00
Speaker
Here's what we're going to have to do is we're going to have to take some questions from the, from our lovely viewers. And I'll just put out a call to action for some of our staff to record us a little segment about how something works.
00:44:14
Speaker
Give us like five, 10 minutes. Give us a quick explainer, explainer, blah, blah, blah. Explainer. Hey, you're sounding like me last podcast. I know. i don't I don't want to trip over all my words, just stumbling over my own tongue.
00:44:28
Speaker
But we'll probably, you know, ask them how how how things work and have them respond and get you guys some good, good information, info dumping with staff.
00:44:42
Speaker
Anyway. That's cool. I like that idea. It smells like it's tea time to me. I don't have any tea, but it does smell faintly like tea in here. It's tea time.
00:44:56
Speaker
It's tea time. It's time for tea.
00:45:05
Speaker
It's tea time. Zelda, do you have any tea for us today?
00:45:11
Speaker
I don't like orange juice. Okay, that's valid. Is that a I don't like orange juice, period? Or is that a I don't like orange juice with pulp? It's just an I don't like orange juice, period.
00:45:24
Speaker
Do you like oranges? No. Okay, that's valid. Do you like any citrus or is it just is it just oranges? um Just mostly oranges. I don't know why. yeah That's valid.
00:45:35
Speaker
I like oranges, but I get you. Okay. oranges are good i think it's a valid take i think it is too they're really you know it's really intensive i would have never guessed that someone's blossom tea is good that's a good thing it's good it's delicious anyway what wants to go first who wants who wants to tell me what you're working on in farm rpg i think we should do princess zelda princess zelda what are you working i don't know why if you're right now are you working on anything Um, I finally um on, uh, DI number three. Let's go. Let's go.
00:46:11
Speaker
Let's go. Heck yeah. That's the one with the, the Lima beans, right? No, that's PSA three. Oh my God. Why am I thinking? Yeah, that's PSA three. Nevermind. And I'm stuck on PSA three.
00:46:23
Speaker
Okay. Okay. Yeah. That one's tough. That one is tough, but those are when you're working on them though. you Are you getting that distance illusions? How's that treating you?
00:46:34
Speaker
That's a tough quest. I like distance illusions way more than PSA for whatever reason. um Yeah, it's been good otherwise, and now I'm going to work on the monthly quests as they roll out throughout the month, which is always really fun.
00:46:50
Speaker
The red diamond fish. Yeah. Those dead red diamond fish. well fair i I guess we didn't talk about them. I don't know if they were in the... They're not in the updates, but they do exist already. i Yeah, they're out. It's Crystal River, isn't it?
00:47:03
Speaker
Yeah, it's Crystal River. Yeah. So this month, you can, you know, work on your Red Diamond Fish Mastery and work on those quests. Them fishies. It's some fishies.
00:47:14
Speaker
What are you working on, bud? Yeah, I was very busy for the last two weeks. i I unintentionally cornered the meal market for a couple days.
00:47:25
Speaker
I don't know if you recall, I went on a meal buying spree. I do recall it. I do. I do recall it because you're buying for me partially as well, which was fun. That was very fun.
00:47:36
Speaker
um And then I finished all of PSA. um I finished two DIs. I also realized that I hadn't done any of the April quests a couple days ago. so like and April 29th, I just plowed through those.
00:47:52
Speaker
I've just been working on that. you know That's a lot of work. The end of PSA is is pretty all right. little grindy. actually had to dip into my pet stash.
00:48:07
Speaker
So was really disappointed about that. my pet number went down. I'm down to 3,443,023 items on my now. you a Crunchy as crunchy to to pull? i assume you yeah yeah all i pulled out was diamonds by it i was still disappointed in myself I mean, you got to do what you got to do.
00:48:33
Speaker
That's what they're there for. But I've been really busy. I'm now working on DI. i don't have a time frame for myself on when I'll get it done at this point because I'm starting work has started to get a little busy again. And I've got two projects, three projects for Farm RPG right now.
00:48:49
Speaker
but We've got ah one of the features that you've seen coming soon, Borgen's Treasure Hut. We are working on some balancing passes right now, then we'll be throwing it to Alpha. um But that one's taken a little bit longer than expected ah because we kind of got all the way through it and then realized that it needed a little more work on the balance side.
00:49:09
Speaker
was one of those things where once you put it out there, it's hard to take it back. Yeah. We just wanted to get it right. So I'm working with CodeRanger and we're kind of refactoring some things. It's taking a little bit more time than we expected, which is totally okay. But I recognize that maybe people kind of being teased, understand why things may take some time, but it's been a bunch of, I've been putting ton time into that.
00:49:33
Speaker
So that's the big, that's the fourth path T. What about the BooBun T? Yeah. Um, everybody was really proud of me because I finished PSA three and I am on, I know it i was sitting on that for how long months, literally months I'm on PSA six right now.
00:49:53
Speaker
And I'm still on Disillusion 1. That's okay. But, but, I flexed. I flexed this week. I flexed out. No way. Let's go. It's gone. unhit it and I flexed.
00:50:07
Speaker
It's gone. Goodbye, flexible spending. I am, I am legitimately broke. Broke is a joke. i have eight hundred have 800, 839 billion silver and that's all I've got.
00:50:19
Speaker
But can i give you a spoiler? What's up? You're going to be really happy you did that at some point. Am I? Oh, okay. o I know. I'm already really happy I did it because it's now and i don't have any hidden quests.
00:50:35
Speaker
Anyway, that's what I've been working on. Oh, as for dev stuff, I am working on something pretty big and I can't talk about it. So you know what it is. Oh, I do know what it is. i was like, what the heck is she? Oh, yeah. You know what it is.
00:50:51
Speaker
You know what it is. I can't tell you about it, though. I can't tell anybody about it. Dude, we got the pipeline. It's pipelined. It's pipelined. It is pipelined. there's There's artwork occurring.
00:51:02
Speaker
Ooh. Artwork is happening for it, for this thing that's that's coming, so... and another development is happening we've started having some mechanical conversations yep that is true ah so there's there's stuff there's stuff happening so things and stuff i'm very very busy i'm very very busy i'm tk oh god someone bleep that but blam it blam blam blam me saying my name i'm such an idiot oh god how could you

Gaming Industry Discussion
00:51:42
Speaker
But yeah, ah really? In Farm RPG? That's it. That's it for me.
00:51:47
Speaker
we're We're out here. We're making stuff. Guys, you can't see this, but Princess Zelda is laughing quite mercilessly at me right now for my slip-up. Holding her head in her hands and shaking her head at him, which is valid.
00:52:01
Speaker
It's painful. I do it all the time. I feel shame. feel shame. I'm not, like, shaming you. It's like... It's okay, too. i'm I'm just, like, laughing along with you.
00:52:13
Speaker
You're laughing to keep from crying is what I'm hearing. That's how I feel about it too.
00:52:22
Speaker
It's absolutely fine. You're allowed to laugh at him. He's, he's our resident, like admin clown, man. it's so true it's He's a joker. Admin chaos clown, man.
00:52:33
Speaker
Yes. Chaos clown. We love a chaos clown.
00:52:40
Speaker
game princess alda what's What are you Are you playing anything? Like video games? Or are you working on projects? We don't know you very well here. This is a chance for you to to to glow yourself. Let's glaze Princess Zelda for a minute. um I've been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 again because I love Andrew. a Arthur Morgan. Oh my gosh, my brain. Arthur Morgan is good.
00:53:06
Speaker
Arthur to Morgan, yep. I don't know why. i just It's such a good game. um i might replay Breath of Wild with the new Switch coming out and some of those expansions. Switch 2 got announced.
00:53:21
Speaker
That's great. Yeah, I know. in them In the last month, it's got announced. That's crazy. viny Vinny got one. vinny got one um He pre-ordered it. so we are There is one coming to this house. He couldn't get two.
00:53:32
Speaker
I went to bed. I was like, ain't even going to try. Goodbye. you get one, Zelda? No, i'm not. I'm going to wait probably for later on. Yeah. Don't buy anything day it drops ever. Like that's like what like video game console 101.
00:53:46
Speaker
I get it. I get it. I like you're preaching to the choir. i don't listen to my own advice. I always buy console the day it launches, but only Nintendo. Literally nobody but Nintendo. I won't get any of the others. Actually, we're giving up every other console.
00:54:03
Speaker
It's only going to be. Wow. Steam and Nintendo. And that's it in this house. we're we're We're giving up. Oh, we have them, but we're not buying any any more.
00:54:15
Speaker
Okay. Did you see that they they just today, Xbox announced that they're raising all their prices $100, by the way. Oh, you bet. I saw that. And all their games are $80 now also? Yeah, because of you know is of everything that's going on in the world. So prices are going to go up on those bad boys. So My thinking on the the Switch, this is off topic, but it doesn't matter. just tea time.
00:54:38
Speaker
My thinking on the Switch is that they were factoring this in. The $500 price tag or whatever it is was factored in. They already had thought about it. They were way ahead of the curve, but that doesn't make people any less mad. Oh, no. God, no. That's fine. They can be mad.
00:54:54
Speaker
Stay mad. It's okay. I'll buy a Switch on day one. It doesn't matter. I mean, I don't know that I'm mad about it, but it's so a lot of money. I'd rather pay a little bit less Farmer. But nobody got mad when PlayStation put out that Pro that's like $800. Did anybody complain that? $80 billion. dollars Yeah, like, come on.
00:55:11
Speaker
Like, I get it, but also, but let's have the same amount of vitriol, I think, personally, or whatever. i guess I guess, like, Nintendo is like the kids the kid console, so they think it should be cheap.
00:55:25
Speaker
But everything's $500 these days. You can't get anything for not $500. It's like $500 $0. it's like it's five hundred dollars or zero dollars No, I mean, it's totally true. I'm i'm not dissing that for the record. I just, you know, it's a lot of money. I can't. It is. I i don't feel comfortable buying one right now.
00:55:39
Speaker
No, I get you. No, that's why i didn't want to buy two also. Because I was like, for a thousand dollars, two? No, I think I'm going to go to bed. i I prefer to take a nap. I'm not going stay up till midnight trying to get a Switch 2.
00:55:53
Speaker
No. An app's much better. and app is much better. Anyways, what else? your bu so you said You said Red Dead Redemption 2. You said Zelda. or Any other games? Any other hobbies that you want to share?
00:56:07
Speaker
ah I'm going to know that. I played Fallout New Vegas. That's Fallout game. Classic.
00:56:16
Speaker
What have I been working on lately? um Miscellaneous odds and ends. I do. mean, like, sublimating glass cups and stuff and like cool so stuff like that and then it unintentionally covers my house in glitter which has been fun yeah it's like we compare glitter to like it's like you know craft herpes it's like once you have it in your house it's everywhere it never goes away it doesn't ever go away you can't get rid of it it's there forever it's fine microplastics we all love it it's good
00:56:51
Speaker
um Take a big drink. Yeah. Edible glitter is wonderful and I love it. ah Yeah. Luster dust. Oh my God. I watch a lot of Tik TOK and there's these girls on there that are just taking pink luster dust and like covering everything they eat in it. Like a rack of ribs coated in pink luster dust.
00:57:09
Speaker
It's glorious. It's like the best thing I've ever seen. It also looks absolutely disgusting, but it's like glittery ribs, whatever. Like live your lives, Queens. Yeah. I kind of i'm I'm like very much considering the next time I make a hamburger coating it in luster dust.
00:57:26
Speaker
You should. That sounds like you should. You should do that. What are you what are you what are you playing? What are you working on? What are you doing? are we talking about me? Yeah, your turn. don't like that.
00:57:37
Speaker
okay too bad. ah So I let's see here. I played Last Epoch. ah which is an ARPG, indie ARPG, a AAA RPG. So if you are looking for like something like Diablo or Path of Exile or Torchlight and that ilk, Last Epoch, really wonderful game. Love the devs, EHG.
00:58:01
Speaker
um The developers are super nice. I've had a couple conversations with them before. ah Really lovely people, really passionate. um So I have a really good time with that game. ah expedition 33 just came out last week uh so uh also known as final frenchacy so if you like final fantasy games but with a french twist uh and maybe a little bit of souls like in there fantastic game just it definitely has a souls vibe from the clips i've seen like it looks kind of like a souls game a Dude, ah you know, um the art direction is just you can feel the Miyazaki influence, but with like its own like obviously you feel the influence and you can feel the games that impacted it, but it still kind of has its own thing. it's It's got its own identity.
00:58:48
Speaker
I really, really love that when a game does that, like kind of. owns itself almost uh so i've been so i've been playing that i've been watching severance uh doing a re-watch of severance so good so um when people see me ask where are we going from here it's because i have that dumb song stuck in my head from the episode that i watched couple days ago um i've been doing some let's see here what else was i going even talk about in this segment I don't
00:59:20
Speaker
My daughter's been doing dance. ah So she won the um the cutest. Her and her little team won like cutest award. Like there you stole our hearts is what they called it. Oh, that's cute. So there's just nothing more than watching a bunch of, you know, girls. They just love dancing and they won that award. It was super fun.
00:59:42
Speaker
That's so cute. So that's a lot of fun. Takes up a ton of my time. um That's kids though. Kids take up a ton of time. It's true. It's called being a father. Oh, and then one other game that I've been playing that maybe none of you else will play, but I love is called crab champions.
00:59:59
Speaker
If you've never heard of crab champions before, it is a first person roguelike ah made by the guy who um did the crab rave song.
01:00:11
Speaker
No joke. Really? This guy, NoiseStorm, was like, I made Crab Rave, and now I'm going to make a game with crabs in it, and the entire soundtrack is a banger.
01:00:23
Speaker
I have to play this game now. You will not regret it The game is super fun. i play it with my friends, Zichi and Nethy. we We pick it up every couple of weeks and play a round or two. Absolute blast.
01:00:34
Speaker
Banger soundtrack. Go look it up on YouTube. Sometimes just turn it on at work when I'm just like, I need a little bit of oomph in my life. It gets me going. So there you go. What about you, Boobun?
01:00:47
Speaker
What are you doing outside of work or outside of Farmer RPG? Just, it I mean, it is kind of work. Drawing. A lot of drawing. There's been a drawing situation. I started all blue games. Princess makes fun of all of my tongue twists. It's not fair.
01:00:59
Speaker
It's okay. you're You're allowed. I'm just here. I'm just here. Just relating. Just relating. Yeah. Relating, laughing. Laughing. Mostly mocking the chaos. Love, love, love.
01:01:10
Speaker
That's fine. But yeah. yeah Oblivion remaster just came out. Are you kidding me? No, boo. Are you crazy? Oblivion, the original, is my favorite Elder Scrolls game. It's the only one I give a crap about.
01:01:23
Speaker
I don't care about Skyrim. I don't care about Fallout. I mean, Fallout New Vegas is really good. But like the rest of them, I don't really care about them. Oblivion, though, like that game is that was like me rotting after college, the game like my after college rot game was Oblivion.
01:01:43
Speaker
And I played that game like 100 times. I never I never beat the main story, but I just would like replay all the quests. um The Dark Brotherhood quest line in that. is insane. It's like, it's, it brought me to actual tears.
01:01:57
Speaker
Like, actual human tears fell out of my eyes because of that quest line. It's so good. It's good. It's excellent. There's nothing better than that. It's the, it's the greatest, ah they like, what's it called game?
01:02:12
Speaker
Elder Scrolls. Elder Scrolls game. Bethesda. And this isn't even Bethesda. I don't think Bethesda made this one. like They didn't make the remaster. It's like an off team that did it.
01:02:24
Speaker
Correct. Bethesda did not make it. I do not remember the developers' names off the top of my head. But it's nice, and it works pretty all right. that's not It's not bad. And they kept all the weird little glitchy things in, so that's fun.
01:02:37
Speaker
um Love that. Anyway, but that's what I've been playing. Other than that, I have not been playing Anything at all. I'm just Oblivion. No other games whatsoever. I'm still messing around on Flight Rising.
01:02:51
Speaker
If that's a thing you want to check out, ah you can find me and I'm breeding these little dragons that are like clown axolotls. I don't know. o I don't know how to describe them.
01:03:04
Speaker
They're like goth. They're like goth clown axolotls that I'm i am breeding like a There's like a whole project. i'm trying to make them very ugly and horrible.
01:03:14
Speaker
And then I sell them. It's silly. It's like a... But I love axolotls. Axolotls are so cute. They are cute. But they're like dragon axolotls. the The breed that I am specifically breeding.
01:03:25
Speaker
and like You know, axolotls are like almost like impossible to take care of, though. Oh, and now I know. can't take care them. into getting one as a pet and they require like a kind like a unique pH level and like a very specific temperature. And I was like, yeah, I want an axolotl pet, but that's a little above my pay grade in terms of taking. No, they're way too hard.
01:03:47
Speaker
They're like way, way, way, way way too hard. there's There's no way that it's like not an amateur person's venture to raise axolotls. So I do not blame you.
Conclusion and Appreciation
