Speaker: We've been busy. It's the summer, you know, things get ahead of us. so so get better that You did better than the time before. This is true. Thank you for pointing that out. It was like three or four months of time before. We need this kind of positivity in our life. Just another reason why support is goaded.
Speaker: Yeah. Full on positivity. That's what we need here. It brings brings us back up. Instead of having like, you know, our normal nasty guests. with Yeah. nice Tear us down. It's unbelievable. Totally. Yeah. Now we've got just someone holding me accountable that I said like yesterday from a podcast. It's like, I don't remember what I did two days ago. How could they?
Speaker: It was unbelievable. You know who you are. I was okay. It was Nixie Bell. next it was nixiabel um I was going through the swear jar comments because I have to do that as right before we record this podcast so I can pick my swear jar winner, which I will announce in a moment. But...
Speaker: I was reading some of the comments and they were they were tearing me up about my comments about children not existing until they're five years old. like They were tearing me up in those comments. I was like, whoa, there' they're tearing me up in there. I was laughing. I wish I'd read the comments now. You should have read through them. they're still there They'll still be there until ah the episode airs. so I just re-watched that episode like a couple of hours ago just to kind of get in the...
Speaker: The mood. Yeah, yeah. Good, good. Yeah. yeah I mean... You know, Porsche Pats took the long vacation and he didn't have the vibes going on last time or whatever. so I got the vibes. You got the vibes. You got the vibes. I didn't have the vibes. I love that. yeah now Hopefully we can all bring the vibes this episode and everybody finds this kind of amusing. Again, they were ripping us up. Well, ripping me up pretty bad on those comments. But um who did I say was the winner of that swear jar? Hang on. I sent it to you.
Speaker: oh God. Let me find it. You did. It is in my DMs. Oh, there it is. It's Trash Panda Party. Trash Panda Party. You are the swear jar winner. So if you could reach out to me, I think you're winning a cool 300 and something gold. old ah So reach out to me. You have to DM me. If you don't DM, you don't get it. So make sure to reach out and you will get your swear a jar gold. And everybody who wants to win that swear jar, make sure to comment. We had a lot less comments on there this time. I only had to count to like 47 or something. So like, if you really want to make me work, you better be commenting on that thing. No double dipping though
Speaker: i I will know if you do that. Okay. I just quickly browsed through the comments. You did get torn apart. I know. They're ripping me to shreds. They're like, my daughter says hi, and also she she wonders why you don't think she's a real person. like I'm like, oh, gosh darn it. getting me. I'm sorry. Your four-year-old daughter is a real person. i I'm sorry. whoever Whoever wrote that comment.
Speaker: um anyway Anyway, let's move on to some updates, right? ah Because we've got we've got quite a few in there. There's some good stuff.
Speaker: I would say there aren't as many updates quantity-wise, but quality-wise, we are crushing it, in my humble opinion. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: I would agree. ah So, let's see. we Basically, the last episode aired on the 12th of May, which was our first birthday. The fifth anniversary of Farm RPG. Happy birthday to us two months ago.
Speaker: We are now going through these, you know, the updates since then. So if you want to follow along, it is May 18th that we're looking at right now. Holy moly. Holy moly. So it's only two months. It's not too bad. and at to Basically to the day. So there were two new farm supply perks that day. you got Splint Shoes 2 and Sugar Boost 2, which did...
Speaker: different things. One is for stamina effectiveness. Obviously, it's the, excuse me, French is three. I can't read a Roman a numeral, I guess. We know. Sugar Boost 2. I know. Sorry, that's my bad. And Sugar Boost 2 doubles your unrefined sugar production ah for the same inputs. So that's pretty good.
Speaker: Yeah, then on May 26th, we put out Borgen's Lost and Found, which is a new feature, like a little ah match game. And it sounds like support absolutely loves Borgen's Lost and Found.
Speaker: yeah um It's still in beta. I believe it's going to launch hopefully later this month or early next month. So pretty hype about that. So if you're not beta, look forward to that if you want to get in on the action early.
Speaker: you can go ahead and be beta now. The cool part is, is and maybe I'm not supposed to say this, but we are tracking who has the fastest match times just because it's fun.
Speaker: um And ah y'all are really fast clickers. I'm terrible at this game. My best time was like a minute. I mean, mine was a little better than that, but like some people are crazy good at this thing. Yeah.
Speaker: Anyways, we also released the Yes, I'm Sure perk for free for everyone, ah which is a you know big change. ah Pretty cool.
Speaker: lot of people hated the Yes, I'm Sure perk because they just felt like it should be there. So now it is awesome. but also did a couple other pieces of QOL. ah You know, Quick Meals has the triple cookie button now. I don't know if anybody's used that. i love that button.
Speaker: Good button. There's ah various other things. ah You know, I would recommend you go through the patch list because if I read them out, we'll just be here for 100,000 years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah So then on June 1st, it was your normal monthly June ah ah update stuff. You know, new raptor type, new buddy doll, new soap shop stuff. Sea turtles came back. Cicadas are back as of June 1st.
Speaker: The June special temples while were back. ah So all those ah cicada temples, those very fun repeatables. ah Other changes, actively running expeditions or charters can now be extended with gold. So you can extend those out if they're active, which is cool. man And people got to start hating on stop hating on the expeditions. I'm just going to throw it out there.
Speaker: ah The expeditions are really good. i know you do need the star map perk for it, but that's what we have the supply vouchers for. And I'm telling you, don't sleep on expeditions. yeah youre so so Use those vouchers at least. They're pretty good. And vouchers too. Yeah. I run them constantly.
Speaker: i mean, I'm almost out, but they're very, very good. Yeah. And that, also there was a new item, ah Fish Flakes, that was consumable that allows you to instantly catch 50 fish um with ah the bait required. So if you, I would say don't use Mealworms on that bad boy. Use one of the like other ones because I think Mealworms does, I don't remember what Mealworms doesn't do.
Speaker: but You've been playing Farm RPG for too long. I bet support knows what Mealworms do. good Oh, dang it. I called her out and she didn't you know. What's a mealworm? ah know but
Speaker: It's that thing you put in people's inventory. streak It's a fishing streak. So like it will increase your fishing streak. So mealworms don't do that. So don't use it with mealworms. I know. I just couldn't remember what it was. Sorry, my God. I'm not having a senior moment. That's okay.
Speaker: Anyway.
Speaker: test I can't believe you said that. Why? am. Listen, I'm over 40 now. I'm about to be 41. It's fine. But 40 is the new 20. You know what? You're right. You're right. I feel like I'm in my 20s.
Speaker: Really? i I don't feel like that. Everything hurts. That's true. No, I did throw my back out the other day picking peppers, so that was really fun. Yeah. yeah I was playing baseball the other day, like and by the other day, I mean like six weeks ago at my friend's house with his son, and I tripped and fell on my wrist, and it still hurts.
Speaker: What the heck, man? i don't i don't know. yeah you know your Your body just slowly starts falling apart after you. away yeah it gets worse, I know. and It gets worse.
Speaker: don't Don't take our whinging. is ah and you Take it with a grain of salt. i mean yeah Anyway, the June 3rd update was the big one. o Yeah, that's right. is a big one We went on Steam. That was what I was talking about earlier. Spoilers from earlier.
Speaker: Spoilers from earlier, but we're now on Steam as of June 3rd. So if you could leave us a review on Steam, that be really helpful. We would love that. We love reviews on Steam. I mean, we've got a lot now. Thank you for everybody that's left us a review um and, you know, and given us your opinion, your insight, everything that you've said that's nice or even not nice about us. We love them all. So thank you for leaving us a little, a little bit of feedback and or praises.
Speaker: thanks and it really helps us get seen by other people on steam but we were at the top of the at the top of the like farming charts and the free charts for a minute there yeah it was pretty cool it was definitely uh like ah a a long time bucket list thing for me was pretty neat i mean i didn't develop steam but just to be a part of it was really cool yeah no just to be here for it was pretty neat i'll I'll tackle these next two because June 9th was just, ah we talked about the June event, which, ah you know, was just a little mini event. And then we had the beach ball, and which popped around. And there was that super fun bug that we didn't believe was true, but it actually turned out that it was true. So I can reveal it to you now.
Speaker: Yes, spinning the wheel did make you more likely to get the beach ball from other people. Wow. Really fun bug. That's cool. It was real. i I did not believe it, but um it was real. So, you know. We had a seed to believe on that bad boy, I guess. That was one where, yeah.
Speaker: You know, but you know what? Hey, you know what? I'm okay being wrong. You know, that's what learning is all about. You have a stance and then you're presenting new information and then you change.
Speaker: yeah it's okay to be It's okay to be wrong. It's okay to change, guys. This is true. This is this is life. So anyways, we also released the Kraftwerk set into beta. So this is a cool new feature.
Speaker: that a couple people had asked for in the past where what you can do is you can actually take what is in your craftworks and make it a shareable list so you can say like, hey, i made a craftwork set for exploring Kylan Hills. And you can share it with other people. They can download it and it'll give you however many slots you have. Give it that order. It's really neat.
Speaker: ah Just another, you know, fun little thing you know we appreciate the community we appreciate people that come up with all these different ideas you know some people don't want to build a craft work set themselves you could be like me and just buy craft work slots so you don't have to think about having a set like that's how i exist at least yeah but also we also released the small bolt craft oh then that was funny yeah That, you know, that this has been one of those things where um we've been talking about doing things. And then I guess people in chat have been talking about it and they say, oh, yeah, that was because I said something in chat. And it's like, well, unfortunately, things don't happen quite that quickly. But yes, we did do that.
Speaker: And then we also released Tower 331 to has turned out to be the most yeah insane grind yet oh Definitely some opportunity for us to smooth over some rough edges long term.
Speaker: But it was really interesting seeing people kind of go, holy moly, this is this is like back to a super old school grind. So very interesting to see and a lot of fun.
Speaker: So and that means that we are very close to 350 now. And I'm very excited to get that out there. And, you know, I've had that planned for a while. For a long time. i's been in the That's been in your old desk drawer for a minute there. in the old desk drawer. Mm-hmm.
Speaker: right, what are you on, June 23rd? The 23rd. Okay, so there were some Kraftwerk sharing updates that they we put through. I'm not goingnna read through that because there's a bunch there. yeah You can now hold to use cider and lemonade and honor palmers. So that's pretty cool. You hold down the button and it, so you don't have the click. Save yourself, save your knuckles, save your joints, a little bit of clicking and, you know, hold it down. You just have to make sure you have the yes, I'm sure perk.
Speaker: enabled in order for it to work because it won't work otherwise. Also, that the carpal tunnel will update. Right. That one's good. It's great for anybody. a Carpal tunnel. If you have tendonitis, I get tendonitis all the time. That's going to save me some clicking.
Speaker: You know what? It's also the stealth I'm clicking while I'm at work update. Now you just hold down and you're exploring instead of, you know, tapping and people, you know, in the cubicle next to you go what the world is that guy doing? What's that guy doing? What's he doing with his mouse over there? secret Secretly a work stealth buff. You're welcome. Yes, yes. ah Also, there was a new diary quest diary review, which is very cool. If you are a chronic forgetter of what are the story is going on in the in the farm RPG, you can go back and reread it. Or if you like you know if something new comes out and it's an old quest that you want to catch up on, ah go back and reread. If you forgot like you weren't at tower level last year and a new quest has come back around you don't remember what was happening in the story,
Speaker: From last year, you can reread very easily now. It's very excellent. ah There was two new crafts. Which is the wood planer and pine shavings. Very cool and fun. You definitely won't see those in quests.
Speaker: Never, I'm sure. Definitely not. And then there were some other little tiny updates and bug fixes, which I'm not going to go over. You can go and look at them. It's mostly to do with, looks like, craft works item stuff.
Speaker: How much is July 1st? Oh yeah that's a big one. So July, we have the Bobble Rocket Brawl came back. We also added a new function for some of the special rockets that you could get in starter packs. You can get little bonuses on it. You also get 50 max attacks up from 25. So you can idle even longer and not waste any of those bad boys. Perfectly made for me.
Speaker: Perfectly made for Boobun. The Boobun special. yeah um We also threw out the journey system, which is a little system where you can kind of say, like, show milestones on your account. This is beta right now.
Speaker: And if you want to see what it looks like, go ahead and go over to Force Paths Profile, because just to kind of show everybody what it looks like, I put in the release date for all of the major quest lines that I'd done and a couple, you know, silly things because that's who I am as a human.
Speaker: ah But very really cool. Lots of people, you know, track like, hey, when did I hit my first 99? When did i hit Tower 100? This is a nice, clean way for you to kind of show your progress. It's a nice little feature, ah for lack of a better term. And it's cool. I like it a lot, actually. i look at a lot of people's journeys when I see they have them up because I think it's fun.
Speaker: You could just be silly and then like me, because I think I just said I scream real loud in there a couple of times. I don't know. I think it's good. It's it's very fun. ah ah you know,
Speaker: I think it's very useful. That's all that is. And then ah we're to light their team we're up to July 13th. We're up day yesterday. Oh my goodness. So Roomba's Nest became available via a quest line. So that's a very fun and cool feature. It will, it gives you a little bit of automation. Roomba is your best. I love Roomba's Nest. Yeah, me too. I'm a big fan of this because I i was forgetting to do stuff all the time. So,
Speaker: If you say, you know, you're a little bit scatterbrained and you forget to do your chores, like your everyday pet your pet feed or pet your pets, your farm animals, ah you know, pet your raptors.
Speaker: do your grape juice, rest in the farmhouse, or do some work in the farmhouse, ah then, you know, this is for you. It's great. And there's a cute little quest that goes along with it and some that cute little chicken skin that you can get also, which is very fun cool. there was a community named Chicken, too.
Speaker: Yes, we did have a community named Chicken. ah Which one won? It was, I think, Organic Bird Lifeform or something like that. Yes, that is so the winner of the of the poll. of that was cool. Yeah, I thought that was cool. was very fun. It was a very low stakes um a low stakes poll, which I feel like a lot of people were putting some higher stakes on. There was a lot of big feelings. Wow, what a shocker.
Speaker: A lot of big feelings about the names, which I appreciate. That was always very fun. ah Other updates that came out, we did add, ah looks like Lemon Seltzer is in the Burgan Mercantile now.
Speaker: And there are some newques or new rewards available for quitting up to 2,000 requests or personal help requests. And for people playing the game for the first time, so you first-time listeners who have never played the game before, you can look at some screenshots in the home section of the game of what it looks like before you start playing. So that's fun and cool.
Speaker: I love that. Really good and fun. Hey, we're already caught up. That's amazing. I know. it only took us 21 minutes. That's not bad. dude. We are flying. We are cruising through this. Cruising.
Speaker: um and We even had some pre-patch banter. i mean, like, listen this is... This is professional. This is professional-grade podcast. well guys We don't... This is just so professional. we We prep for weeks for this to make it perfect for y'all. So you better be, you know...
Speaker: better be Grovlin. Yeah, thankful. Exactly. Be thankful. be faithful don't know where to go that far. This is amazing content for you. Anyway, anyway. One of my favorite comments on the swear jar was somebody like, I love listening to the podcast because it's like I'm hanging out with my friends for an hour. And you know what?
Speaker: I loved that. I loved hearing that. ah It's like, that's perfect. i I'm glad you feel like you're hanging out with your friends for an hour talking about Farm RPG. You know, a lot of people don't really get to talk about Farm RPG with their friends because they can't convince their friends to play with them.
Speaker: Did you know this? this is a This is a thing that happens. I did know this, but I got really lucky that I made friends in Farm RPG. That's why the chat's there. is Because your your friends are lame, so you must make friends in Farm RPG that want to talk about Farm RPG with you.
Speaker: Your real friends are lame. Farm RPG friends are forever, okay?
Speaker: but Okay, anyway. Let's talk about our guest. I know, I know. Let's talk about our guest. Because, listen, I can't i can't ramble all night. like i i get to turn I gotta turn a spotlight im to turn the spotlight on our special guest here.
Speaker: Now, Thank you for joining us, by the way, support. We're happy you're here with us. This is it was really nice of you to to volunteer. We didn't even have to volunteer tell you to do it, which I feel like we have to do with a lot of our staff. We're just like, we're really looking for some volunteers here. Air quotes.
Speaker: But you just jumped right on it. You jumped on the grenade. Get me in. And we were like, dude, getting support on here. That is a no brainer. peak. it a it's i Am I the first support to do it?
Speaker: yeah Because i'm not I'm not the first support. You're not the first support, but you are the first support to join us on the podcast. You are the first support to join us. Yes. Yes. There have been there have been previous supports before you.
Speaker: um When did you take over being support? was this This was kind of recent. or Just a little over a year ago. a year ago the love your and you know what? I'm still learning the game.
Speaker: I'll never learn all the game. No, never I'm still learning the game too. I feel you. There's so much there. There's so much. So yeah, but you, you, you got in about a year ago.
Speaker: That's great. What's, what's your, what's your everyday? Like, what do you, what's, what do you get the most requests about? Is it like password resets? Yeah. Yeah. That.
Speaker: um because they forget their username or or the password or both. So that's the most common. most calm What would you say is the weirdest thing someone's asked you to fix that you can think of that is also appropriate for our podcast? Because I'm sure you get weird requests.
Speaker: Yeah. I don't know about weird. There's a lot of supply vouchers that get canceled, so they think it's going back into their inventory, but no, it doesn't.
Speaker: um and don't I don't know about weird. If it's too weird, I always have to. I come to the team and I ask for help. like Trust me. That's allowed, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. there's There's a lot of things that I don't know. I'm being honest and upfront. A lot of things that I don't know. But the team is always behind me.
Speaker: They'll give me an answer. They probably laugh at me behind my back, but no they help out. Absolutely not. No way. I didn't even. I don't use like, um I guess, probably the the lingo, the farm lingo.
Speaker: I'm just too old school. I don't read the words. I just throw them out. And um so one day I had to ask Dorothy, I think it was, what FNC?
Speaker: i love that. So if you're listening. Oh, go ahead. Yeah. if you yeah in them oh go ahead yeah One day I sent a message to, I think it was Bailin, I'm not sure.
Speaker: i said, what do you mean by such and such? He goes, oh, brother.
Speaker: But I just laugh, you know? You don't know unless you ask, right? and you don't You don't sit and chat all day. You don't just pick up the lingo by sitting there watching all the chats. So that makes fun. I don't. Yeah, I don't. Remember, if you're sending in a support ticket, support may not know your weird Gen Z lingo. Because let's be honest, PG lingo is weird, right? like Yeah, we do have some acronyms. A lot of acronyms. There's a lot of acronyms.
Speaker: We like to abbreviate those things. You can't say orange juice. You gotta say OJ. You gotta to say, know. I say they're all But they're all sometimes they're like doubled up. Like, you know, you have AC for apple cider, but you have AC for ancient coins. Ancient coins.
Speaker: So you have no idea. FP for fruit punch and FP for force path. Yeah, exactly. BB for breakfast boost and BB for boo bun also. Come on now. And what were we thinking?
Speaker: I don't know. I really don't know. But that's fine. That's, you know, you got to do the acronyms. You got to make it that much shorter. You know, got to get back to farming. ah That's so fun, though. We got, you know, we have a good time here. so so tell us, ah who's your favorite moderator? this is a question we always ask. I know. I know. I knew it was coming.
Speaker: Don't ask me the least because I don't have a lease. Because there's not been one person that I've asked for help that has not helped me. It's because we appreciate how much you help us. Yeah. It's true.
Speaker: Okay, we're back. Yeah, we're back. We're back. Okay, we're back. Technical difficulties, but we're back now. And we ended on the question to support.
Speaker: Who is your favorite moderator? Okay, say it one more time. who is what Who is your favorite moderator? Okay. Well, I don't know if our stream's considered a moderator, but he's he's up there. He's great. That's cheating. He's very patient. That's not cheating. That's the kind Call me a cheater. oh fair enough. fair Everybody in the game, like I said, has always been so helpful.
Speaker: There's always been one that's been right there for me. Always answered. Always helped. I'm sorry, but that's Koala. okay so he He's got to be my favorite. well that's adorable That's valid. He's everybody's least favorite, but he can be your favorite. that He needs one win.
Speaker: so why he does need a win there. so I'll accept it. I'll accept that. Koala Corgi, you're still my least favorite, so don't worry about that. Hasn't changed over here either, man. Yeah, yeah. You're at the bottom of the barrel, my guy. But Lelisa Port likes you, and that's you know that's saying a lot because she's so sweet. She's so nice. So true. Yeah, she's so nice. So true.
Speaker: So, yeah. Is there anything else you want to tell us about the game or yourself? um I know you have a specific hobby ah that you practice a lot, but what else would you like us to know about support either in the game or in your personal life? I practice organizing that hobby. I'm still working on that. But I do love to sew. I've always loved to sew. And back when my girls were young, you know, it was put it on the table, take it off the table. put But now I have my own room.

Speaker: um No, i I concentrate on support On the support stuff. No, I agree. Yeah, I don't, you know, i first started, a family member showed me the game way back when it first came out.
Speaker: I tried it. and ah i don't like this. It's kind of boring. So I got away from it. The same family member showed me probably about maybe six or eight months later the game again. And it's like, OK, I'm going to give it a try again.
Speaker: and I've been hooked ever since. But I will say since I started doing support, I don't play it as much. Yeah, that is the curse of being a part of the team. I don't get a chance to play nearly as much as I used to. Well, you know, I have other things I want to do. so yeah you know, I like i do. um I do play, but it's usually at night and just catch up on it. And I play support.
Speaker: I play supports and I have my own personal game. o And um I don't know if I should say this, but I have a test game. So yeah, you got you. As an admin on the admin team, we do need to test stuff out. So yes. Yes, totally. Let me just say this. Recently, I got a notice for having too many accounts.
Speaker: from a current member listen said our staff does not joke around they'll catch you they will no and they warn me i'm like no no don't you know who i am don't you know don't you know who i am yeah oh yeah i got that afterwards oh yeah sorry You got to hit them with that. Don't you know who it is? i am. who my father is. and I love that so much. They're brilliant. They will get you. Yeah. And I told the head honcho and he goes, oh, they're doing their job.
Speaker: yeah yeah so they They are doing their job. They're good at it too. They'll catch you. If you have double more more than one account, they they will come for you. Don't worry. yeah They're good. And I've been watching the ah the podcast, YouTube, whatever,
Speaker: for I remember, Bubun, you did a um one with Augie, right? Oh, yeah. Augie and Belligan. Yeah. when back in the up Back in the day before I was yeah on staff, i they they called me on because I was just, you know, I'm just who I am. And I feel like, you know, they asked me to be part of the podcast back then.
Speaker: just because i let me tell you Let me tell let me tell you what I gained from that podcast. Okay. Yeah. I have my own Bubun notebook where I take notes too. I mean, you you get impressed you impressed me about how you took notes and it was always the popcorn. You love the popcorn. The popcorn. That's my favorite item in the game. I love popcorn. ye What's your favorite item in the game? Do you have a favorite item? That's like, you know, getting done with tickets.
Speaker: Getting done with tickets. That's a good, that's a good favorite item to have. I love that. I'm so glad that you're here. That's so good. That's awesome.
Speaker: um Oh, that's that's what I should ask you. Do you have, you know, we do our, it's our special secret, secret pass, you know. Did you think about something? Did you think about something? I did, actually. okay what a being one Because I feel like I mean, I don't mind helping people.
Speaker: I am not AI. And, you know, i answer everybody individually. I don't copy and paste responses. I appreciate the players.
Speaker: And to me, there are customers. Whether they pay to play or not. If it weren't for people playing, it wouldn't be. So I try to treat everybody with the same respect.
Speaker: So I answer everybody as if I was talking directly to them as best I can. I love that. But the thing of it is if you would just read. don't.
Speaker: um
Speaker: I will admit, I will admit, i don't read the quest. But when I found out that that was coming back, because some of them takes me so long in between, i don't remember what happened the the one before.
Speaker: But I love now that I can go back and just read the quest. Like I was reading a book. right But, you know, if you look up supply vouchers in the library, you will see if you activate it, you don't have to get rid of it. It's active until you use it.
Speaker: They cancel it and guess what? They don't have it. They don't get it anymore. yeah Well, if they cancel it, you know, yeah And these people that get in, I could write a book.
Speaker: Yeah. i could write but I think we all could at this point, honestly. I'm a retired bus driver, okay? School bus driver. Oh, so you've heard it all. And I could write a book on that.
Speaker: But I'm doing a second book for support tickets. Because if they get banned, there's some wild stories out there.
Speaker: Oh, my goodness. The ban stories are something else. only thing I can say about that is I was born at night, but not last night. it if Your story's not flying. It's not flying.
Speaker: I love it. But I'm nice. And I just point out, well, what you did is against the code of conduct. Did you read the code of conduct? And you know what?
Speaker: Maybe one out of 10 people who send me ah an appeal for a ban are honest and say, i was doing this. I admit it.
Speaker: That right there, that gets you brownie points with me. Just say you did something wrong. Yeah. Admit to it. You hear her first. If you did something bad and you need an appeal, your ban, if you admit to it, you know, you're you're more than likely going to get your appeal.
Speaker: You know? Yeah, but... More than likely, but not always. Not always. it Depends on what you did. Sometimes you guys are... yeah Some of the stuff that goes through is like, you good that's not it really... Not nice people. But that's okay. but but Yeah, that's okay. And don't forget, i got caught too.
Speaker: I got one of those warnings. so You did. They caught you. you yeah yeah You know, we all get caught. Yep. But anyway, so The secret word.
Speaker: i would i would like to say, welcome to the library.
Speaker: Welcome to the library. Yeah. And if you want to, once once we're done recording, you can say what you're giving out. We'll, we'll, we'll figure out, you know, what you're going to give away. What? I got to give something.
Speaker: No, no, no, no, no. I can pick it. No, he's going to pick it for you, but we just have to like, you know, we have to talk it over to make sure it's, it's like balanced. It's kosher. It's kosher. You're going to make sure we're not giving away the farm. You know what I mean? Old force path being, old force path being the stuck in the mud on this one. I thought I was fixing that. I'm so used to it.
Speaker: No, you don't have to send anything. no I'm not using my gold. No, not yours. No, no way. You get to keep that gold. That's yours. You earned that.
Speaker: You earned that gold. All right. Well, we have the we have the code here. um We'll figure that item out at the end. And we typically, at the very end of our podcast here,
Speaker: just have a quick, uh, debrief. A little bit of tea time. It's tea time.
Speaker: two time time A little time to chat about what's going on in the world of farm and what's going on in the world of our real lives so that you can know that we're real people and we are not, in fact, AI. Although I've been accused of that myself. so Me too.
Speaker: it too I used to do chat support at the company I work for, like, so people would chat in. And one time I i started quoting some movie and the guy's like, oh, so you're not an AI. And no, nope, I'm not an AI, promise.
Speaker: I'm not a chat bot. I'm a real person. I'm troubleshooting your internet right now. ah Love that though. So it happens to the best of us. Listen. okay well let's do it let's have a little bit of tea time let's just uh let's open the tea you know i got i got my fresca oh i don't have anything to drink but that's okay the greatest beverage fresca is good water i don't have anything i have a i have my old coffee cup here and it says it's called trash can not trash cannot it's just like music yes
Speaker: ah So what have you been working on? ah We'll start with that. Wow. I'll have to have that bleeped. We'll have to blame that Yeah, we're going need a blam for that one. Jeez,
Speaker: I literally paused. I think if you watch the video, I straight up went, what? Yeah, no, sorry. I'm i'm dropping the deep lore. It's all good. It's all good. Okay, so ah this is farm RPG related, right?
Speaker: Yes, farm RPG related. yes what are you working on? Well, first of all, i got a new job in like my actual life. So I was in a, I had a pretty bad job for like the last six months. and So now have like a new job where life is not quite so terrible. So I'm actually back to playing farm like for fun, which is a real joy. So I'm currently grinding the tower. I'm at 296.
Speaker: ah It's slow going because i'm i don't play optimally, ah but I am grinding the tower. I'm at 296 right now. right now And hopefully I'm at 300 in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker: I'm at 800,000 of the 1 million needed for Red Drunks. And the rest is going to be Bimbat Bosch, hopefully. So just been kind of slow rolling it and working on the rest of it. um As far as development goes, we have lots of cool stuff in the pipeline.
Speaker: do. I'm very excited. Uh, let's see here. What can i spoil? um oh, there's something, it's already in the game. So technically this isn't a spoiler, but it's not like in the game.
Speaker: But if you go into the temple section, um you'll see what our starter pack item will be for August. Uh, if you scroll down to the bottom of that temple, ah that's already done.
Speaker: You might have an idea of what that might be. um Other than that, ah let's see here. i will be working on things that I can't announce. That's unfortunate. Yeah.
Speaker: ah But yeah, you know, I'm grinding away and having a good time doing it. Some people don't like the grind. I love the grind. I love having a plan.
Speaker: so Or, well, in my case, not a plan. Plan, not a plan, you know. What about you, Bubun? What are you up to? in In Farm RPG, i I literally, last month I hit my Cooking 99. I was working really hard on that. Let's go. I know, i know. I couldn't believe I did it. i i was I was, you know, checking in, doing those long, the long meals,
Speaker: And yeah, just got finally, finally got there. I was at 98 for like, I don't know, two months, three months, something crazy. But, you know, we persevere. We got there and we got that 99. I'm five right now or four right now or four ninety nine s Yeah, a no, five. Five ninety nine. Excuse me. And now I'm starting to work on mining a little bit.
Speaker: So that's where I'm going. I'm trying to get my mining up. I'm only like forty seven right now. That's slow you know, well, you know, whenever that fully comes out, I don't want to be ninety nine before it comes out because that's probably not gonna be possible, but we'll see.
Speaker: we'll see what happens. And as a farm dev stuff, I can't talk about what I'm working on because it would be immediate spoilers for legitimately everything because the art stuff is always a spoiler. RIP.
Speaker: RIP. What about you a supporter? you working on anything in Farm RPG? I know you said you don't play quite all that often, but is there anything specific? No, I don't play that often, but sometimes I'll sit down and play for hours. But, you know, I'm just the slow-go Just get it when I can.
Speaker: I'm in no rush. It's not race. That's what we made Farm for. yeah You know, I mean, we do put out like monthly stuff, but like it always comes back and it's meant to just play what it's fun for you.
Speaker: Like. It's always here. It's always online, except when we go offline because of, you know, server, who which was did happen today. It was fun. It was a fun little adventure. ah But yeah, what are you guys working on outside of farm?
Speaker: Do you want to go first there? Forest Path?
Speaker: going to say your name. going to say Forest Path this time. Forest Path? Forest Path? Let's see here. Sure. I mean, I'll just word vomit. I'm going on vacation in like two days. So I'll be down in Myrtle Beach.
Speaker: Uh, very excited about that. Good luck finding me down there. Um, very excited about that. Um, I've been doing quite a bit of reading lately, trying to stay, keep my eyes off the computer so much. Um, my vert.
Speaker: So, I've been reading lit RPGs right now, which is not like the, you know, greatest novels ever written, but I do love them. So Dungeon Crawler Carl, I finished book seven. And then I'm taking a break and I'm reading.
Speaker: Yeah. ah So I just need to read. i just need to read a Parade of Horribles, which is next on my list. But I took a break. to read a friend sent me an early birthday gift of the book he who fights with monsters uh so i'm reading that uh just as a something different and then you know my normal course of video games you know i play in pow world right now with some buddies and i'm playing grand blue fantasy relink uh
Speaker: you know, and then I just beat another game called Mini Shoot Adventures. I have a review. Vinny played that game. Yeah, i loved that game. So I wrote a review for that. I'll have that posted up soon.
Speaker: ah and then, you know, just the normal life stuff. ah So i'm keep I'm keeping pretty busy. You see me online in the game. Typically, it's because I'm playing games or I'm working on a farm.
Speaker: Yeah, that's it. What about your support? What's going on in your world?
Speaker: I'm not really a game game player, but totally I like Mahjong. ah play lots of Mahjong. I know a number of people that like Mahjong.
Speaker: Yeah. I just learned to play like very recently. Yeah. I like that. And, i you know, I used to be a very avid reader, but my bedtime was like an hour ago, so
Speaker: I'm amazed that you stayed up this late. We're keeping you up. Oh, no. I'm good. I'm good. If I'm doing something, I'm okay. If I'm in my chair watching the all-star game like on now, I'll fall asleep. Yeah, no, I feel you.
Speaker: I feel that.
Speaker: And I like to do my quilting and, you know. well I think quilting is awesome. Obviously, my mother is also a quilter, as you well know. So I think quilting is very cool.
Speaker: Quilting is extremely cool. Yeah. Super, super cool. Oh, well, cool. ah What about you, BooBun? Talk about your life. What have I done? I beat me to the Hollower, which was hard. I did use some... I did the thing where it makes it, like, slightly easier, though. Like, i There's, like, an option in there that lets you turn on... Make it slightly easier so that you don't want to die. um so I did do that, and I got through it, but there was still a lot of screaming, and I did really hate it. I actually hated that game. Um...
Speaker: i I beat it out of sure sheer force of will. Spite. Yeah, it was a spiteful. I love the art style and I love Mina, the character. so I was like, I'm just going to do this because I have to. And now I'm playing Deltarune because ah the new one came out and I keep seeing stuff about it and I had never played through it. I did Undertale thing, but I didn't do Deltarune. So now I'm doing Deltarune and that's also driving me absolutely insane.
Speaker: Other than that, I am doing a lot of art. It's Art Fight this this month, which i don't know if anybody is an artist or does anything art related, but July is what's called Art Fight Month. And there's a website you go on and you like upload your little characters and you draw.
Speaker: for other people. It's basically like a really big art trading month. And I am attempting to, you know, make sure I attack everybody that attacks me, which means I'm just drawing their characters, little, little original characters that they make up. It's very fun. It's very cute.
Speaker: Just doing a lot of art this month or trying to. We'll see if I, if I get more than 10 of them done. I believe in you. I know you do. And i I will get there. It's very fun. It's good.
Speaker: Got a bunch of cons coming up, though. So I do probably need to ice my wrist a little bit. So we'll see what's going on there. But that's it for me, really. It's the dead of the summer and I hate the heat. So I'm just chilling in the icy.
Speaker: That's, you know. and then New Hampshire, it's been so brutal up here this year. It's like, you know, over 100. I try to walk every day and there's some days I'm outside at 530 in the morning and you walk out, the heat hits your face. It's like, whoa, at 530 in the morning.
Speaker: It's too much. And like, i thought we don't walk the dog, like walking the dog. Forget about she wanted me to go out there and play with a stick at five o'clock. I'm like, it's still too hot, baby girl. we and We're not going outside. Like, you will get heat stroke immediately. There's no way. But like, you know, the dog doesn't know any better. Yeah.
Speaker: Just got to kind of convince them to not want to go outside in the heat. It's rough. But my tomatoes love it. My real life tomatoes are really like, they're all like this big. So I'm so excited. Send me oh i may want I would love to send you one. I don't know how it would make it in the mail, but they're so good. I do those beef steaks. They're all like this big. They're like as big as your head.
Speaker: Bed-Aid for night. I had my first... Freshly homegrown tomato sandwich yesterday. ah Nothing look like a homegrown tomato sandwich.
Speaker: that I agree with you. Here's the thing is their mine aren't going to be ready because I'm in the north. Like, they aren't going to be ready until, like, halfway through next month. like... so like it's like mid August through like the beginning of September. That's when they're all going to start popping off. So I'm so jealous. My cherry tomatoes are good right now, but nothing else is.
Speaker: I'm an avid gardener. I love, I love my vegetables. So I, I grow a lot of, I grow way too much for living in basically a condo. ah So it's, ah we don't do gardens anymore, but you know, we have people that give us stuff sometimes. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of work. Yeah, it is a lot of work. It is a lot of work.
Speaker: And anyway love my fresh tomatoes it's they're so good there's nothing better there's nothing better honestly than a like a freshly grown garden tomato it's nothing like an olive sandwich yeah a sandwich i like a blt forget about it andwiwich an olive sandwich what's an olive sandwich i don't know this this is a sandwich support have you ever had an olive sandwich is this like a a husband does He puts mustard on everything. oh this is I haven't done mustard. You toast two pieces of bread, you put mayo on both sides, and you sprinkle green and black olives in the middle and you eat it. well That sounds good.
Speaker: i like It's delicious. it's salt It's super salty, but it's delicious. that's fine I like salty. I like olives. you know I would say that's the only thing that compares to a tomato sandwich to me. Okay. No, that's that's valid.
Speaker: I feel like just a little bit of mayo, like a fresh tomato, and then like flaky salt. Yeah. There's nothing better than that. That's like... that's Maybe some cucumber, though. That's a peak sandwich.
Speaker: Peak. But a BLT always hits, too.
Speaker: right that I think we've we've talked about sandwiches and farm our food. It's making me hungry. but yeah i know Now I want to go make a sandwich. ah But it's like 10 p.m. So I don't think I can really do that.
Speaker: All right. Well, it was so lovely to have you support. Thank you for joining us. I really enjoyed having you on. Everybody be nicer to support now because you've you've heard her on the pod. So now you have to be nice to her when you message her.
