Speaker
Yeah, in the middle of the day, it's weird. I was like, there's a sun's out. Well, you can't see the sun in my room. For me, it's dark.
Daytime Coffee Decision
00:01:13
Speaker
It's only for me, but I had to spend time like thinking about what I was going to drink today because normally I know my beverage of choice at, you know, when we record at 9 dark 30. But like in the middle of the day, I'm not cracking open a beer. No.
00:01:28
Speaker
and so I got coffee. Coffee. Coffee today. But welcome back everybody. Thanks for joining us. um we ah There was one. There's that. there's that um Well, I'm thinking about it. I'm going to pull that. Let's pull that swear jar. It's really the um jar. Stop hitting your microphone. the I was told that that was very unprofessional. It is pretty unprofessional. hit i I like flat my arms around while I'm talking, so it's a little hard for me to like not hit my microphone. but Listen, I'm just here to help keep you on track by distracting you.

Swear Jar Contest Winner Announced
00:02:03
Speaker
um Anyway, our swear jar winner, our swear slash um jar winner is Ariel ah Celeste. Ariel Celeste. So you send me a message, Ariel, and you will get all that gold from the last last month's swear jar.
00:02:18
Speaker
Yeah, we've had some redemptions now, right? We've had multiple redemptions, two redemptions in a row, which is crazy. So get back to me, Ariel, and I will get you that gold. If you don't get back to me, I'll be pretty disappointed and it'll just go into the void. Nobody will get that gold. Into the void. Yep, that gold, I'll just literally send it away. I'll poof it from existence. That seems unethical. Actually, it's not even generated until I... But you don't just send people your own personal goal? No! How'd I do that? It's the budget. This is the budget's goal. The budget's goal doesn't exist until I create it from nothing.
Humorous Learning Process
00:02:56
Speaker
So that's the truth. You're blowing my mind right now. I know. It's crazy out here. We live a crazy life. It's nuts. You're gonna learn something every day. This is true. You really are. You have to learn new things. Learn and grow.
00:03:10
Speaker
But yeah, so you're a sword jar winner. Get at me. There's another one. Look at, I'm feeding that coffer today. Really getting them. So I was seriously thinking about swearing a little bit more just to like, but then the editors have to do more work. Be careful, then they have to glam it. Don't do it. I noticed one was missed last time. I'm not going to say which one of them missed it, but somebody missed one.
00:03:35
Speaker
And, uh, yeah, that was good, but that's fine. Don't worry about it. That's okay. ah See, instead of you swearing, I'm going to just, I'm a bunch instead. It's the holiday season. You know what? Yes. Happy holidays, everyone. by the way Yes. it Happy holidays. where It's feel a little festive. It's going to feel, we're in the middle of a, we're in the middle of of the event.
00:03:57
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. The Christmas event. Oh, my gosh, so much planning. So glad that it's all like out there and running. Yeah. And we can take a deep breath. Yeah, this is true. I can we can relax for a little bit, only for a little bit, though. Well, and we get to watch people.
Eggnog Release Excitement
00:04:12
Speaker
So I was so excited when we released eggnog. Right. I mean, like that was. Yes, man. I have really enjoyed watching chat go nuts with that. Mm hmm. Breaking it. They're making it their own thing. Yeah, yeah they really are. a break it And I like that. I think it's fun. So good job, you guys. I i i think it's nice that you've you've figured out how to like hack the hack the planet and make it make your own. If you want an entirely red word, please, it's fine. Do that. Do the thing. It sort of breaks it and I kind of love it. Yeah, it's cute. It's good.
Podcast Reflections
00:04:49
Speaker
But with that, we should probably just do some, um, the update updates. We should talk about the update. First of all, I just want to say, listen to your transition right there. I'm so proud of you. as it's like getting that as like and It's only been how many months? This is our ninth episode, yo. Like this is nine episodes. This is episode nine. Can you believe that? We've been doing this for nine months. That's crazy to me. That's a bonkers one.
00:05:14
Speaker
That's pretty cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool that we brought it back and that it's kind of we've we've kept on top of it Shocking ish. but I think we did this one month. We missed a month But we I think we made up for it. Then we do we made it. Oh, oh god We're doing one during the holidays, which is insane. so So It you know what? I'll take it. I'm gonna take it. It's fine. One month missed. It's neither here nor there Excuse me. I tried to you you didn't mute yourself
00:05:46
Speaker
I'm just going to laugh. Oh, i listen said don't make fun of me. I'm still an amateur. Anyway, it was more funny watching. Yeah. So if you're not watching this podcast, you're missing out on on the pure physical comedy that I provide here. Yes, it's true.
00:06:11
Speaker
Uh, yeah, oh my god the updates, dude. What was the last one we did? Wait, why do I have to start the, because I'm asking you to. Oh, okay. Well,
Game Updates Overview
00:06:23
Speaker
let's see. I have to see when we put the last episode episode out. Sure. go start So, ah um, um, um and um, um, four, five. So if I can't swear, I'm going to um, it up. Yeah. Do it.
00:06:36
Speaker
We hit the beginning of December, I believe. So we did we record like right around Thanksgiving. So you guys got the Thanksgiving update. ah We put some new cows into beta. ah We had the ah December 1st update, which was mostly just about the starter pack and kind of, you know, we kind of got a nice cadence now, some new mailboxes, some new Raptors. So shop gets updated.
00:07:03
Speaker
Then we added some pig variations into beta on December 5th. That was really fun. um so We talked a little bit about our upcoming plans on December 12th. So we're in the middle of that right now. So we're recording the podcast on the 22nd, this time to pull the veil back a little bit. So we are literally smack dab in the middle of the event. So we have had We had the strange well happen on Friday the 13th. Maybe more stuff will happen there. That should be interesting. ah We started 12 Days of Christmas on the 16th. We had eggnog come out. That was I think on the 17th.
00:07:47
Speaker
Yeah, 17th is when things got real nutty. So we had Eggnog come out on the 17th, which was super fun. Again, as we talked about earlier, quite loved it. And there's if you are chatting, you didn't read the updates for whatever reason, and you really hate the festive colors, which is okay. No one's given you a hard time about that. You can go into settings and turn it off. So we didn't want people to feel like they just didn't want their eyes burned off during ah holidays, ah you know, so, um, and, um, uh, or if you're just a Grinch and you hate Christmas, well, listen, okay. Turn it off, I guess. Or if you're colorblind and you can't literally can't see it and it's hard to read one or the other. Yeah. There's no in between. There's no, there's nobody in between that. No, your eyes burn. I don't care. You're a Grinch. Keep it on. Wow.
00:08:45
Speaker
I'm kidding. It's a joke. It's iss it. it is' I mean, it's not, but it is. OK. It's a joke. So let's talk about the rest of the updates. You festive eggnog lover, are you. That's me.
00:08:59
Speaker
but I mean, you've gone over up most of it. Well, you said go. You said go. I'm so happy that you continued. What do you think about the fishing nets? Yeah. So we have frozen
Frozen Fishing Mechanics
00:09:10
Speaker
fishing now. Frozen fishing is happening. How many things are frozen right now? Do we know? Oh, happening today i I think at least two are frozen.
00:09:18
Speaker
And it always starts at the high left, the higher ones. ah the yeah Like Glacier Lake. We got Glacier Lake and Pirate's Cove are frozen. So things are freezing. So throw those nets, y'all. Freeze it up for everybody. And it looks like Large Island is about 80% of the way there now. Crazy. um Somehow people are freezing lava in Lake Minerva. Impressive. Who knows how that happens.
00:09:39
Speaker
I love that's strange. I do not want to put snow on, by the way, because I like I put a melting snowman on there. I think he's on that one or he's on the one in the, you know, the explore location. I don't remember. I think it's the floor location. One of them's got a melting snowman, which is hilarious to me. I'm going to go find it now. Yeah. all And the lagoon. I don't see a frozen snowman on the lagoon either. Did maybe Firestream forgot to put them up there?
00:10:09
Speaker
No, there's some elting snowmen on one of them. Let me look. Oh, I don't have the December theme on right now. That's the problem. That's why. Shame on you. view. My God. Disappointed. Disappointed. Anyway, what else has happened? Frozen fishing. Yeah, we got that. Snowball fights. Snowball fights happening, which is another cool play on the the whole bottle rocket, bottle rocket brawl that we had in the, uh, the summertime. So get those event tokens to get your super rares or buddy dolls or whatever, whatever you want to buy from the event shop this month. and I brought the event prices down again this time too. So I'm really hoping that everyone finds something that they want. Yeah. You better work hard for those, uh, for those that I want. Oh yeah. What do you want? one Everything.
00:11:04
Speaker
I'm a collector, everything! Everything. She needs it all. The gold items are pretty nice and I mean, can you ever have enough buddy dolls? No. You can never have enough buddy dolls. You can always have too many buddy dolls. That's not true. That's incorrect. That's not true. You don't even know. You have to have, yeah, the buddy plushies. You gotta get them all. You gotta catch them all. We can agree that I i don't want anymore but wow I'm over Buddy. Can we kick him out of the broadcast now? Mm, yeah. take You want me to get rid of him? I can remove him from the back. Goodbye, Buddy. No, not the pillow. Oh, I want you to kick out Frostbeth because he doesn't know you want Buddy. You want me to boot him? I can just mute him for a little while. You know what? I'll just keep eating my kiwi like an apple. then Yeah. How's the skin on that bad boy, huh? Oh, it's delicious. Yeah, you like that? How's the mouth feel?
00:11:59
Speaker
because it tastes incredible. I don't know why he's doing this. He told me he was going to and I was just like, great. He told me the same thing, but he didn't explain why. Why would you explain what needs explain? It's another like ice in the in the OJ sort of situation here. Yeah. you Anyway, enjoy the enjoy eating hair,
Celebrating 750,000 Players
00:12:20
Speaker
my guy. ah
00:12:23
Speaker
Anyway, oh, another thing is that, uh, we, we hit a hundred, uh, 750,000 registered players yeah but un believable yeah crazylievable crazy yesterday. Yes. Absolutely bonkers. So, you know, congratulations to fire stream. Yes. That's amazing. That's so awesome. It's it's crazy. I can't believe there's almost a million people that have you know, registered for this game and or tried this game. Bonkers. Bonkers, I feel like undersells it. Yeah. It's a cool achievement. It is a cool achievement. I feel like Bonkers is is, you know, it's a good descriptor. Come on. Whatever, man. You guys just hate me today. Yeah. It's going to play the victim of wrestling today. Grill, Forest Path, the podcast.
00:13:12
Speaker
oh Yeah, but that's not I mean, that's every that's every five minutes every day. Let's go Also, if you guys haven't known for the for the reindeer because I know reindeer are needed. You just have to send Santa our Rudolph if you send Santa Rudolph He will send you back one of the other reindeer. So go farm out some more some Rudolph's from Santa's workshop because I know you're gonna need to anyway for those milk good cookies for that insane quest so And trade. Yeah. And then you get trade. Yes, that's true.
Endgame Quests & Holiday Content
00:13:44
Speaker
So go get some Rudolphs and you know send them to Santa. Get them get them quests done if you haven't already.
00:13:54
Speaker
And that's call that's probably it for updates. I think we've we've caught ourselves up. Well, it's been honestly, it's been less than a month since we put this out. We put the last episode out on the 27th of November. So it's been less than a month. So we didn't really but man look at us. it It's so crazy because it always feels like.
00:14:15
Speaker
when we get to this October through December timeframe, so much stuff is happening, but it doesn't, like, you look at updates, you're like, oh, like, nothing's been happening. It's all happened on the backside. You know, getting frozen fishing set up and the events and snowball fights and the quests and everything has been ah quite the tear from the team, so. Yeah. Also, I think this year we put out a lot more endgame quests because we didn't want the end game folks to have nothing to do through the holiday. Are you suggesting that ah Distant Illusions wasn't enough end game? Distant Illusions this doesn't have a ah holiday vibe. It's not very festive. Maybe put some Santa hats on everybody or give out some milk and cookies. and No jokes while I'm drinking coffee. Sorry. Maybe don't take a sip while I'm speaking. Listen, I put out nothing but bangers over here.
00:15:10
Speaker
so I'm not gonna lie. um ah Excuse me. Anyway, let's, so we already did the swear jar winner, which I put these out of order. um Good job. But let's do a little Q&A with Luna. Yeah, let's talk to Luna, man. Luna, thank you so much for joining the podcast. Yeah, of course. Of course. I mean, I love the podcast. I heard every, I listened to everyone. So, um including the old ones with Bellagut?
00:15:42
Speaker
um No, those, I haven't watched all of them. A few. But ah since you ah we started doing a podcast, I listened to everything. And i like you so I was like, you asked if somebody's free today? Yes. Hello.
00:16:00
Speaker
and And we specifically were like looking for somebody that was one in one of our out of the United States. ah Yeah, staff members specifically, because, you know, we don't have many of you. We only have a we only have a very ah small handful of handful. Yes, it's like, you know, ah like a good five or six, like that are outside of the United States. So it's nice to get a nice European perspective i on the yeah on the farm, on the Farm RPG. So how did you find Farm RPG? Like, how did you hear about the game? Well, what is pretty funny is that yesterday was my first anniversary. So I've been here for exactly a year now. And I don't exactly remember how. I think it was just in my Play Store or something.
00:16:52
Speaker
And I was like, huh, it's kind of RPG, an idle game, maybe not really. But I played a lot of those games and I was like, OK, let's just try something new. And ah I wouldn't say I was instantly hooked, but give me a week or two. And then I was. The grind must go on. yeah Lost in the sauce. Yeah, you joined during Christmas, too. So there was like a lot of things like that. You probably got that.
00:17:21
Speaker
you know, that dope overwhelmed yeah overwhelmed and then all the dopamine hit. Yeah. The December event really gets people hooked. Pretty hard. I couldn't really participate in the the last ah December event because I was such a baby farmer. But ah now this year, it's my time. Yes, yes you can get you can finish all the but crazy quests. There's a lot lot. I don't know if I can finish them all. There are so many. and I know. There are a lot that pop this time of year.
00:17:57
Speaker
Christmas and um Halloween Halloween are like really, really like quest heavy. A lot of Halloween was a lot too. Yeah, last through. Yeah. So I can't imagine my first Halloween three years into the game. Like obviously I've been being here for so long. It must be very overwhelming compared to like, if you yeah, it's a lot.
00:18:18
Speaker
My mom says the same thing sometimes, like when a new event hits, she just kind of like stares at her phone during the headlights. Is that a similar experience to you? Yeah, a little bit. I mean, um when I started the game, um There were a ton of quests. Then I grinded so much that there were a little bit less quests. And I just talked to a friend yesterday who is pretty new to the game too. And he said that he has 11 seasonal quests open. And I was like, 11? What the? Oh, my goodness. So many. How do you do this? That's so much. And for me, it wasn't that many, but it's a lot.
00:19:03
Speaker
Sometimes you don't know where to start, but you can go through that. You can't do it. The little encouragement for everyone. You can get through it. It's doable. I believe in all of you, especially you, listener. Yeah. Use this like the holiday break. Any amount of time off that you have to just grind the heck out of FarmerPG. Get those quests done. Come on. You can do it. You're just going to spend your entire holiday.
00:19:33
Speaker
Just banging it out. Yeah, bonus points if you tell your family about Farm RPG, like while you're visiting for Christmas. We'd love to have more users, love to have more friendly, wonderful users like yourself playing.
Holiday Gathering Encouragement
00:19:44
Speaker
This is correct. And if they do join, let us know. We'd love to say hi to new people. Yeah. Tell me if your mom joins. I want to know if everybody's mom joins. Get your mom to play. That's fine. Dude, we could have like a mom Farm RPG group. Yeah. We could all get together and talk about co-op.
00:20:01
Speaker
Yeah. Get your mom, get your moms to join. It'll be so, uh, Luna, you've been playing for 12 months now. Uh, you got a favorite memory. he's been playing So it's probably been a lot, but like, what's been your favorite memory of the game? It's been a lot. Well, um, to be honest, I do like all the the Easter eggs and especially the Rick rolls. and ah Yeah, there's a lot of them. Yeah. Um,
00:20:32
Speaker
So I think, Conk, Rondri... um The second to last quest, I think it was, when when that quest popped up, I was like, are you kidding me? And I loved it. I just loved it. You put him in and put him in a good space here. He seems very happy about this. And i was I was on the way to a Dungeons and Dragons session ah when I finished ah that quest. Yeah, I noticed your... Oh, yeah, my my holiday sweater. I know. Yeah, that's so cool. It's good.
Luna's Favorite Memories
00:21:04
Speaker
And, uh, I had to share with everyone there that I just finished the quest that Rick rolled me. I had to share with everyone. but i was so happy That's good. i'm I'm glad. I mean, the Rick rolls there, they are endless. I feel like in, yeah, by rp g there's a lot of them, especially if you join a chat. This is true. I have no idea who came up with the idea of Rick rolling. So.
00:21:29
Speaker
o Who knows? who knows who thought won that that one Who knows who came up with that one? That's such but so cool though. Thank you for sharing. i mean it is It is totally, and I know that I speak for all the admins, ah that it's totally an honor when people get so excited about anything when they're playing a game and they just want to tell their friends about it. like what a What an honor, um but also just fun to hear other people's experiences. So this is just' just really nice to hear. So ah to me, then, you know, we know a little bit more about you, but where do you hang out in farm RPG? Where can people like come ask you about why you like corn quandary?
00:22:12
Speaker
quandary um Most of the time I'm in giveaways because I think the second or third week or so playing the game, it was the first time that I dared to look into the chats because I was pretty nervous, ah especially a little bit of the language barrier that you don't notice too much, I hope. oh Not even a little. And ah I was like, oh, and now I got a chat in English. Okay, I can do this.
00:22:42
Speaker
um And ah there were so many nice people that welcomed me so ah so nicely and gifted me stuff and just ah so much aggressive kindness um that I just felt at home there. And well, I stayed. Yeah.
00:23:01
Speaker
Giveaways is a great place. We don't have we even had a giveaways mod in here yet. Really? and Maybe Gideon. Gideon's the only the only giveaway spot that we've had in here other than yourself. Yeah. And giveaways is extremely aggressive kindness. Yeah. Totally. I feel like giveaways people, they're very, they're very tight. That's a, that's a tight group. Yeah. Now on the subject of Gideon or any of the other mods,
00:23:25
Speaker
Who is your favorite mod? You knew this question was coming. you know and you you know these questions are You know these questions are coming for you during these. But who's your favorite? Well, that's really hard to say. say Koala Korgi.
00:23:42
Speaker
Oh, wow. Because I love to ban him. And if he wouldn't be, a more ok I wouldn't be allowed to do that. This is true. This is true. Yeah. All right. So you love him because you can abuse him. Yeah. The punching bag. that She likes punching him.
00:23:58
Speaker
That's a good reason, I guess. And also, I love to call him back animal, so... Which is the story behind that. I know that you've called him bag animal, but I don't know if our listeners know why you call him bag animal. So a koala is the kind of animal a koala is called Beutelteer in Germany. And if you just translate Beutelteer, literally, it means bag animal.
00:24:23
Speaker
Yeah, because they they have pouch and so it's like it's a bag animal. So funny. yeah I actually love that so much. And now that I understand it, I'm going to be calling that young man a bag animal from the one happening in Snapchat. when When you started calling him that and I love I missed that. Oh, that's awesome. it's So funny.
00:24:47
Speaker
All right, well, that the there's that flip side to this coin of that question. Now, who is your least favorite mod? You've already said Koala Korgi is your favorite. I mean, he can also be your least favorite, I guess. I just want to ask, can I say he's my least favorite too, because he's the Punching Bag? I mean, i I think I'll allow it. I feel like it's allowed. what do you what's What is your verdict there, First Path?
00:25:11
Speaker
I mean, you make the rules. i't ba There's no rules here. So if you want to say that he's your least favorite, he's your least favorite too. That's fine. I mean, he is the collective least favorite. Yeah, because I, I like all the mods that I've met. So I don't want to say somebody is my least favorite. And if a caller is already the punching bag, so he's my least favorite. I love that. Good choice. actually around We like that.
00:25:39
Speaker
I wanted to ask you another question round around you had you had mentioned early on that you were really nervous to talk and chat um because English isn't your primary language.
Encouraging Non-Native Speakers
00:25:49
Speaker
Do you have any advice for like other people who may be listening that don't use yeah ESL like English is not their first language is their second or third and like what can you tell people um to maybe encourage them to get involved in the community?
00:26:02
Speaker
I would say, don't be shy, just just try. it My grammar isn't always perfect, but ah you can understand each other. Even if your grammar isn't perfect or if you don't know the words, I still sometimes use Google Translate to translate a few words. That doesn't mean anything that your English is too bad or you shouldn't be able to chat or something. Just just do it. And you'll meet a lot of people that are ah friendly in a chat and don't mind if you make a few mistakes.
00:26:32
Speaker
Heck yeah. i I always feel like people are like, oh, my English is so bad. And yeah, I think there are most people that speak English as a second language are as good, if not better than I am. 100%. With like primary English, I'm probably worse than they are when it comes to grammar and whatnot. 100%. I'm a big dumb dummy and I don't know anything about English. Vinny corrects me all the time. That dude's an English major. Like that guy corrects me constantly.
00:26:59
Speaker
we gonna get vinny on the podcast by the way I told him I wanted him on here and he's just like, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I feel like I can do it. He can do it. No, that's what I'm, that's what I'm saying. I'm going to tell him. I'm like, I, we had a girl on that, you know, she speaks German and she came on. So she's from Germany and she came on. So you got to come on. You live in my house and you like you, like you're downstairs right now.
00:27:24
Speaker
bro bro yeah and and so definitely if you use English as a second language don't be afraid to chat we love having you guys um there's nothing wrong with learning like we we ask the chat to be English only mostly because we don't know every language out there and just kind of like Keeps it in a baseline where the mods are in a good place but you know if you wanna DM a friend in a different language or whatever and go for it you know like we would love to have you um and if there's like another some discord communities out there on the speaker from languages.
00:27:58
Speaker
ah they revol around pharmag i'm on a german ah phma pg just scott to I joined it pretty early on and ah so this this is where I started to become more friendly to people and it just carried on into the ah game as well. So try to find maybe some few people that speak your language in the game and from there on you can even spread out to other people, speak English and it will work out.
00:28:29
Speaker
Yeah, maybe I'll make a note. Maybe we could ah maybe we could in the community wiki section, like ah if people do if you do host a community that speaks a different language, maybe go ahead and reach out to a boob owner myself. And we can talk about maybe like making it making an area where you can have your community link. That way, you know, people who maybe feel too stressed to talk in English can um go find a place to talk about farm RPG because it is fun to talk about.
00:28:59
Speaker
I talk about it all the time. I talk about it constantly. This game takes over multiple conversations in my real life. like yeah You have a real life? No. It's not real. It's pretty fake, honestly. I thought the developers of this game are all mindless automatons. I pretty much am. i'm Honestly, to to everybody else but myself, I'm basically just like a NPC.
00:29:27
Speaker
That's the truth. like you I'm an NPC to you. You're an NPC to me. Hey, you only got one playable character guy. like youre You're it. That's it. Oh, Lordy. muchkin deepen hair sp I can't
Luna's Moon-Themed Decor
00:29:40
Speaker
be It's getting deep in here, guys. Anyway, um I am an NPC to you. That's fine. It's okay. fine Just a player in the game. Anything else you want to tell us about yourself, Luna? um First of all, also, I love all of the moon.
00:29:54
Speaker
A garden that you have going on? Yeah, I got a little moon here. I got big moon earrings and ah there are moons everywhere in my apartment. Gotta keep it on theme. So yeah, for those of you who aren't watching, Luna has has a number of moon necklace ah or jewelry, I think would be the proper word. Yeah. I got a ton of moons everywhere. Oh yeah. mean what's your What's your secret password? Let's get your secret password in there.
00:30:23
Speaker
Um, Oh my goodness. I had one and now I forgot it. Oh no. We can always come back to it if you need to. ya Yeah. I just had something and now I forgot. Oh my goodness. We'll come back to it. Let's, let's do it. We'll circle back. You know, we're keeping everybody on their toes. but yeah so People are going to like use the text translator and it's just a password and then nothing's going to be there.
00:30:46
Speaker
Yeah, we're just going to say password. let We should just say password way more than this podcast than we but we normally do just to throw everybody off their game. and You know, there's going to be no shortage of people very upset that you're doing that. I know. It's OK. It's like a password to anger. Yes, I know. And they were so they were they were not very happy about last month's three passwords. Oh, yeah, man. I got horned shreds in several different channels about that.
00:31:16
Speaker
and so funny. You guys, we're not giving out anything that's like, you know, this this is not deeply earth shattering for this game. It's literally we're handing you like a penny for putting the password in. So like, don't worry too much about missing some passwords. It's okay. I promise. It's okay. It's, it's like a little reward for you for listening. That's it. If you don't want to listen, that's okay.
00:31:40
Speaker
Anyway, please wait the requisite three days after this podcast comes out. I'd like to remind everybody. For the password, right? For spoiling the password. So ask in three days, as always. As per one of the passwords from the last podcast. Please ask me three days once the podcast has aired for a while. You know what? Even though people were very unhappy with me, I still giggled.
00:32:05
Speaker
i That's I think it's very funny. I laughed very hard. So it's fine. I'm sorry. We're we're we're getting entertainment men off our pain of your pain But you you get entertainment off our pain all the time. So it's okay. Seriously though. Yeah, it's okay. So please Please it's just a fair trade here, you know But yeah, I guess we can move it to some tea time We can have a little a bit of a longer tea time unless you have like something you want to talk about there. Mr. Forest path or Luna. I Oh, the dead silence. ah No, I don't have anything today. I do have some things that I can mention yeah during the time. okay ah You know, um I just wanted to take a moment to mention that.
Player Gratitude & Feedback
00:32:52
Speaker
I really appreciate everyone who plays farm RPG. um I want to take a moment to thank all the end game players that play farm RPG um who offer feedback to the game. um I know sometimes I can be feel very frictional, but I'm generally pretty thankful for all the people that offer feedback in a constructive way and don't insult. So um I'm truly grateful to all of you who do that, um especially as we've come towards the end of ah Distant Illusions. I know neither of you guys are quite there yet. no ah it's ah It's a big quest. It's very big. I can start it today. I finally have the inventory size. I can start it today.
00:33:33
Speaker
why Whoo! That's way too hard. I'm not doing it yet. But I could start it today. It's very difficult. um there will be There will be a reward at the end,
Distant Illusions Quest Hint
00:33:44
Speaker
too. um I'm actually very excited about it to hear people's feedback ah on that, you know, as we continue to think about ways to reward players for doing really difficult stuff ah without breaking the game, but also making them feel rewarded, ah which is a surprisingly difficult balance, I should add.
00:34:05
Speaker
Yeah, it is. It's tough, especially because sometimes I think for us, like we don't, it's tough to figure out like what the perfect reward for the amount of work is just because we're so back end. Like yeah it's hard to put, even though I, I'm on distance, distance illusions one, I haven't even even scratched this yet.
00:34:28
Speaker
You're the worst. im so I suck. I told you this. listen Luna hasn't started it yet, but only because our inventory and she can now start it. She's gonna be farther than you. That's fine. She can be farther than me. Oh, this can be my next goal. Yeah, you can beat me. It's fine. Please do. i i i you got finish sleep um Oh my god, all these times I haven't even finished all that, thank god. But that took me like six months to do Star Map and Pamerats. I took forever on that. Dude, they were so long. That took forever. I honestly, I still have... I don't want to tell you this, but I'm on PSA 3, buddy. I'm on PSA 3. Oh my... I am so sorry. PSA 2. See, look, I'm still ahead. See? Barely. But I just finished Pamerats this week.
00:35:15
Speaker
Yes. Congratulations. heck Yeah. lesson than in your Playtime. That's so. I never when when I put out star map and Pam rats, I never envisioned people that that like started the game to be done with it as quickly as they have. It is just the it is a testament to the um tenaciousness of players that they do things in time frames that I would have never expected.
Quest Completion Acknowledgement
00:35:42
Speaker
It's really wild to me.
00:35:44
Speaker
And there are people that are way faster than me. yeah Well, that's that's crazy. when I ah think yesterday or something, I saw someone in giveaways who was at the same tower level than I am and had in his biography that he finished Star Map and Pemritz and he was only here for a few months and I was like, how did you do that? Yeah, people are wild, man. So crazy.
00:36:09
Speaker
I love it. You know, the cool thing is, is that you can play this game at your own pace, though. You're not missing anything by taking your time. Yeah. um You know, I I tell. ah So ah for those of you who've been listening for a while, my mom is playing far more PG. She started it about the time that we started this podcast, actually. And she just hit the tower today. So she's been playing nine months. and Wow. dancing So, you know, again, it really the game is meant to be fun for you, not enjoy. I always I always try to say comparison is the thief of joy. This is true. So Vinny started when I was added as an admin. he He was so that was like February. So he started in February and he just got to Tower 100 today.
00:36:55
Speaker
so you Have you really only been an admin for less than a year? I was a very active ranger. I did a lot of things. i was Here's the thing, I was in dev chat when I was a ranger before, just in the art section and that was
Buban's Admin Tenure & Podcast Start
00:37:12
Speaker
it.
00:37:12
Speaker
Oh, yeah, you were just in the art section. So it feels like I've been an admin a lot longer than I actually have been. But it really has only been like less than a year. It's been like 11, 11 months, 10 months. Yeah, that's fine. That's good. Hey, you know, we out here. We out here now. ah You got to think about it. I start we started the podcast because I was added on basically.
00:37:37
Speaker
I guess I sometimes the timeframe can be, you know, times a, what have I said before? Time's a flat circle, bud. It's a flat circle. So, uh, to circle all the way around, um, just wanted to share how grateful I am to the community, um, that I'm excited for stuff that's coming up and I'm really hoping in January that you might find out what happens in the strange temple.
Future Game Update Teasers
00:38:01
Speaker
I'm kind of hoping that maybe we'll see what comes out there. So keep your eyes peeled. um I do also know that we're going to put a pretty heavy focus on mining in the next two months. but So probably going to start another new account and run through and kind of get a feel for the balance of drops and then start looking at some quests for mining and then maybe some crafts for mining.
00:38:26
Speaker
I love making crafts. That's probably like my top three favorite things to to help design in this game. I just, I love making crafts. Crafts are fun. I actually don't mind helping out with that too. I like, I like, I like giving feedback on crafts, like not on the hardness, just on the stuff that needs to be in there to make it seem right. I always research them. You know, people are always like, you know, how do you come up with this? Like I almost always, when I make a craft, first figure out how it's actually made here on earth.
Crafting in Farm RPG
00:38:54
Speaker
And then figure out how many parallels there are in Torah. And then I kind of maybe fudge it a little bit. But like, it's kind of amazing how Farm RPG mirrors ah our lives in some way. Like when you make a craft and it's as hard to make on Earth as it is in Farm RPG. Other than you can't really use Arnold Palmer's to solve problems. and Yeah. Or you don't kick you don't click a button to like make a piano. You know what I mean?
00:39:22
Speaker
You don't? No, I mean, I mean, maybe maybe. Do you? Maybe I do. I don't know. Well, it sounds like Luna's got a life hack that she has been telling. Yeah, of course. She just she clicks a button and then a grand piano spawns in her in her apartment. Yeah, you know, but she can't demonstrate it on the podcast. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's that's you know, that's showing how the sausage is made business secrets. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway.
00:39:51
Speaker
So there you go. there's a that That was not necessarily tea time. Just wanted to, I don't know, shout out also during the holidays, you know you get a chance to be thankful for a lot of things. so Also you, dear listener, I want to also preface thank you to everybody who listens to this podcast because a lot of people don't. That's fine. I don't mind if they don't. But you specifically, if you are actively listening to this every time, I get a lot of messages, people being like, I love the podcast. I listen every single time. I'm listening through multiple times.
00:40:19
Speaker
One, you're crazy. Thank you. That's amazing.
Podcast as Labor of Love
00:40:22
Speaker
Two, seriously we really appreciate it. Truly. Thank you for listening. Truly. it's It is an honor. It is a labor of love. yeah Truly. A labor of love. We love doing it, and I'm glad that people listen to it and enjoy it so much. and Yeah. If you don't enjoy, that's okay too. i I still love you. Thank you for playing farm RPG.
00:40:43
Speaker
And if you don't play farm RPG, I don't care about you at all. Sorry. I totally disagree. I completely disagree with that sentiment. Farm RPG does not endorse the views of Buban when it comes to if you don't play and if we hate you. I am unequivocally I'm unequivocally disagreeing with that statement because listening. Who's going to listen to that? If you don't play farm RPG and you're listening to this podcast, what crazy? Really crazy.
00:41:09
Speaker
That's wacky. And two, are you my mom? Like, my mom was like, that's probably the only way that this would happen. It's so funny that you mentioned that. Yeah, my dad listens to the podcast and he does not play 5 RPG. Oh my god. Forest Path's dad, get with the program. What are you listening to this for? He doesn't like video games, but he wants to support me.
00:41:30
Speaker
That's so you'd be mad about that. Like I can't. So, OK, if you're a parent of one of the people that are on this podcast and you're listening for fun just to hear your child speak ah that near you get a pass. But if you're listening to this podcast and not playing fire RPG and you're just listening to this because you want to hear some weird niche media about a weird niche game.
00:41:52
Speaker
i I have questions and please, please send me a message on any of my social media platforms. You can find me at boo bun.com. Thank you. And that is true. That's my website. So please, and that's the password to talk to boo bun. Yeah. they Go to boo bun.com and send me an email. My email address is boo bun at boo bun.com. And that is not a lie. Send me an email. You crazy person. You and if you can send me an email. Even if you listen to the, but I don't care.
00:42:18
Speaker
Whatever. So tea time. yeah Yeah, tea time. What are you working on? Yeah, I'm asking Buban first. What are you working on? Oh, right now? Yeah, that's right. Right now. but I'm actually working on another lot of trees. ah Which one is this? This is nine. Oh, do you need more milk and cookies? yeah i'm hearing i need two hundred milk Actually, I need 197 milk and cookies because I have three at the moment. So I'll And that's what I need. And that's what I'm working on. I remember when 10 food put that out and I was like, you should add more milk and cookies. It's the cycle. Oh, God, I can't stand it. It's so painful. Milk and cookies is so hard. I should just be clicking while I'm talking. Oh, God. But yeah, that's what I'm working on currently. I'm doing the snowball fight stuff. I'm doing just trying to get I want those super rares that we put in.
00:43:15
Speaker
to the event shop, the gold the gold ones. I already got the gold reindeer, but I need to work hard. I know, they're so pretty. I want the rest of them. Yeah. so Holiday wreath is my favorite for no specific reason. I know why it's your favorite. Don't lie to me. No specific reason. It's because of Rick Riff. Be quiet. Be gone. Luna, what about you? What are you working on in Farm RPG?
00:43:40
Speaker
Yeah, you but you you're part of the tea time. Welcome to the team. Yes, you get it. Well, I just finished parents, but I still got to finish that. So congratulations on and ah I don't know if I did them in the right order, but there's no right or wrong, but I'm still on stomach eight.
00:44:01
Speaker
And ah at the same time, I was trying to do a little bit of Christmas stuff, but I just grinded away on Pemritz earlier this week. So my stamina and nets are very, very low at the moment. So I'm going to take it a little bit slower. Are you giving some nets? Hit me up after, because I'm like, I'm overflowing. I just I just loaded Vinny up this morning.
00:44:26
Speaker
thank you yeah but oh horse fast but's it's his time it's your it's your point time Oh, are we talking about? farming on What am I working on? on farmer vj Great question. um I finished lots of trees earlier this week. Yeah. my god I'm a grinder, man. Yeah, me too. But like, holy crap. Okay. well i would but you just You just, you know, you just one day wake up and think I'm gonna click a lot today. And that's what you do.
00:44:56
Speaker
ah um So I just finished that. I have been slowly working my way through PSA. I got a little distracted and didn't really have a lot of time to play for a little while. um So I'm on PSA 11 and I got all the carved animals to go. So PSA, if you haven't done PSA yet, you should make sure you have carved animals.
00:45:23
Speaker
ah Throw those blocks. Throw those blocks. Yeah, so yeah hoof is right big But I'm also slowly going through that working my way through disillusion's been kind of taking a little bit easy. ah It's been a very, very busy couple of months. So just using the Christmas season as an opportunity to kind of relax for a couple days before we get into January and things got to kick back into a different year. I know not particularly interesting.
00:45:55
Speaker
Boomers typing to someone. Yeah, no, I'm i'm putting up a little um call out to spoilers to see if anybody's got any questions that we want us to answer on the card.
Holiday Personal Plans
00:46:03
Speaker
Well, you know, we could do the other half of tea time, which is what are you doing in real life if you want to share anything interesting going on in your real life? Yeah. Christmas. It's mostly it's right now. I'm on vacation. I'm on vacation. I'm off of day job since ah Friday.
00:46:20
Speaker
all the way until the January. January 5th, I think, is my last day of vacation, back to work on the 6th. But yeah, I'm just very excited. i have I have no nothing planned other than Christmas and New Year's. And that's it. And a doctor's appointment, which will be really fun. Yeah, not not great. Not great at all there. I think I'm going to try to get a little gaming in.
00:46:41
Speaker
Well, what kind of games are you playing? I don't know yet. I have it. You know, I'm anticipating getting something for Christmas. I assume I'm going to get something game related for Christmas. So um I'm setting aside some time, but I'll probably go do some more fields of mystery just because OK. I me love fields of mystery. I don't know if I was um playing that the last time we spoke on here. Now I'm like really playing a crap. You were, but I don't think you mentioned it.
00:47:08
Speaker
Yeah, it's it's super good. It's like stardew but like easier and like everybody looks like stardew. Yeah, it's like easy stardew but every also everybody's like like beautiful 90s anime characters. So like it's better than stardew because all the characters are way more attractive looking and cute. They're like cute cute like cute. It's not like stardew characters are ugly to me. I don't know why like some of them are okay.
00:47:34
Speaker
But like Field of Mistria, those characters are cute. Look at them. And I will take a look after the podcast, yeah but I need to focus so on the podcast. Here's the problem that I have with it, though, is that it's not completely out. It's still in like early access. So like you can't you can't take all the romances to like all the way. Like I can't get married to anybody yet because they haven't released all the unbelievable ads. I honestly, that's the reason I haven't played very much this week is because I have to I can't like I was, I can't just like play it through. I've gotta, gotta wait.
00:48:11
Speaker
so that I can do it when it comes out and I'm not annoyed. Anyway, what are you working on? What are you doing outside of game? Luna, how about Luna? We'll go to Luna. um Well, of course, Christmas. Today, I was ah doing a little bit of ah baking. ah We did a lot of cookies. A lot, a lot of cookies. yeah I saw the pictures. They looked really good. yeah Yeah, they taste good. They do taste good. They look really delicious. I'm jealous. I'm jealous I'm not in Germany, honestly.
00:48:41
Speaker
Yeah, well, if you would be, I would share them with you. I know, I know. Otherwise, um for New Year's, I'm going to visit some family friends and we are doing some music. ah They are part of my parents' Irish folk band. And so it's a lot of music this year. Fun!
00:49:04
Speaker
That's nice. Do you play music like yourself? what Do you play instruments? um I play mostly ukulele and a little bit of guitar and I sing mostly. Cool. That is so so cool. That's so neat. All the staff is so talented. Gosh, I really feel like a cool talent. So
Luna's Christmas Plans
00:49:24
Speaker
Forest Path, what are you doing outside of Farm RPG in the next two, three weeks? Great question.
00:49:32
Speaker
Where do I start? I think I'm busier in my real life than I am in farm RPG right now. So we went and saw the Nutcracker last night, a live rendition. That was very fun. um I've obviously got Christmas going on. i've got I've got a friend coming up from Florida that's visiting me next week, so I'm very excited about that.
00:49:57
Speaker
And then I'm going to go visit another friend in Minnesota in a couple of weeks after that. So Minnesota. Yeah. So I'm going to be or not Minnesota. minnesota I'm sorry, Wisconsin. ah But I'm quite busy.
Forest Path's Gaming Interests
00:50:09
Speaker
ah
00:50:12
Speaker
I'm quite busy in my real life. I've got jobs and whatnot. So well I do wish and then I've been playing video games. That's my that's my relief. So I'm currently playing ah Dark Souls, the first one ah because I've never been there before.
00:50:27
Speaker
And then I'm playing ah Shin Megami Tensei 5 on my Steam Deck. So it's like better Pokemon. It's the way that I'm explaining it. Yeah. That's accurate, I think. It's it's like harder Pokemon. Better and harder Pokemon. Obviously, the designs are way less cute. but Yeah. it's It's like Pokemon for adults.
00:50:50
Speaker
there like oh There's like, and for adult there's like adult like monsters in that that are very like adult adult adult themed. If you know what I, if you know what I'm saying, if you know, you know, yeah, there's some adult themed monsters in that. And it's crazy. I think there's one on a toilet. There's very like a skippity toilet in there as well. Is there really, I believe so. oh Yes. I haven't encountered that character yet. I believe there is like a skippity skippity toilet Riz.
00:51:19
Speaker
So yeah, that's what I'm working on, both in-game and out-of-game. ah Did we get any questions from your... We got a couple, but before I take them, Luna, your password. I don't want to forget before we leave. Did you remember what you wanted it to be? What about moons and foxes? Moons and foxes with the spaces? Let's see if we can fit it.
00:51:44
Speaker
or no space. I would say without, but I think you can fit it. There are passwords that are longer. Boom. Done. All right. Perfect. Okay. Let me check if it worked. Yes. Go put it in while you while you can.
00:51:58
Speaker
You can be the first one. Yep. The first to redeem. Well, if I can type it right, maybe it works. Yes, it works. Oh, good. There we go. Boom, baby. We got it in there. We added a password. Good job, everyone. So we do have a couple of questions in here.
00:52:16
Speaker
I asked in help chat as well, so depending on our time, yeah we get we got there weren't that many. So one is, what are your account goals in this new year? So I feel like all of us could answer this one. Me personally, I want to get these big quests done within the next month or two. I really should just grind them out. What about you, Luna? What's your account? Star map.
00:52:40
Speaker
stomach definitely And progressing on the Mega Masteries to get to 250. Oh yeah, that's right. You are you are at the dreaded 238, aren't you? Yeah, I am. It's so hard. Aren't you the next one and it's taking a lot of time.
00:52:59
Speaker
Yeah, don't forget you can get pumpkin juice. It will happen. Yes, I have some pumpkin juice, but I'm going to wait a little bit longer, so it's worth it more. Fair, very fair, very fair. ah For me, I am going to try to, in the next month, finish up PSA and at least get over halfway through DI.
00:53:22
Speaker
So that will just be I mean, I have quite a few resources. It's just a matter of putting the brain power to them because those quests have a lot going on. It's not as simple as just clicking one button. You kind of have to balance a bunch of resources. So it's just a it's just a matter of ah putting some time down, you know, half an hour here and there to do them, which I don't do often enough.
00:53:48
Speaker
That's valid. Thanks for the question. Who asked that question, by the way? Your question was PCat1, but also Anime Crimes kind of asked a very similar question, which is, what are your farm RPG New Year's resolutions? So I feel like both of those are about the same thing, pretty much. Yeah. So do you have any questions? Anime Crimes. I haven't seen Anime Crimes in forever. Nice to see you, Anime Crimes. Yes, thank you for chiming in, Anime Crimes. Any Christmas traditions? Not really.
00:54:16
Speaker
I don't really have any. Are we talking farm RPG or just like everything in our lives? They just have, you know, I think it's just a question in general. Yeah. I go see the Nutcracker every year. Oh, that's a good thing to do.
00:54:32
Speaker
It's very festive in the holiday and it supports the arts, which I'm a big fan of. and so yeah I do a hand-drawn Christmas card every year. That is something I do. yeah yeah I gotta ask you something. Because Christmas traditions, how do you celebrate Christmas? Do you celebrate on the first day? Or do you do something at Christmas Eve?
00:54:53
Speaker
Because here in Germany, we celebrate mostly on Christmas Eve. Oh, really? Wow. You know, it's usually on Christmas Day. We do stuff on Christmas Eve, but it's usually in like the evening flesh, the afternoon, like we'll see other family, but it's not like the big day.
Christmas Traditions
00:55:09
Speaker
Christmas Day is like the big day where we do a bunch of everything. Like we open the gifts and like, you know, everyone has a big dinner. Yeah. Christmas Eve is like we get Chinese food and chill.
00:55:20
Speaker
Yeah, for us, it's ah actually Christmas Eve, that is the big day, I would say, um where we open presents and everything. And then on the ah Christmas day, on the 25th, we're visiting family that is a little bit more, ah well, a bigger group. And ah we just do a little bit of Secret Center there, so nothing too special and just ah eating some food.
00:55:48
Speaker
So our actual celebrating is on Christmas Eve. And I know that that is a lot for a lot of people here in Germany that they mostly celebrate Christmas Eve. See, it's very interesting. That's why we're glad to have an international guest. Tell us a little bit more about your lives in America is lame. Yeah, we kind of, you know, there's no culture here.
00:56:10
Speaker
I mean, well, i would say that it's true. a different culture different it's different its new It's like, you know, our traditions are not as old as other countries. So it's like, we're kind of like a baby country a little bit. We're only like, what 300 years old? That's nothing.
00:56:28
Speaker
Yeah, just a little bit. that's time You got so many so many questions. Yeah, we're gonna skip that one. What's my what's the best breed of ah rabbit? I will tell you it's the English lop. That's what that's my my character, my personal character that I draw the English lop is the best breed of rabbit. You wanna was it me?
00:56:53
Speaker
My neighbor is breeding them. Oh, really? Oh my god. Oh, I still see the rivets in lie in my backyard. I love an English lop. They're so cute. That's like my character. When I draw myself, I draw myself as an English lop. Spoilers for everybody didn't know I do furry art on the side. My character is a English lop. She's a... she Yeah. Lourder. Like, everybody knows that. It's fine. um Anyway, that's it. Oh my god, shocking.
00:57:19
Speaker
and Unbelievable. No, I'm sorry. You're absolutely incorrect. um It's definitely the Flemish Giant. 100%. They're very cool, but like the ear length on an English lop is like insane. I do agree. The lop ear length is wonderful. Yeah.
Discussion on Rabbit Breeds
00:57:36
Speaker
They just drag on the ground, bro. They drag on the ground. It's so cute. It's extremely cute. Also, I like a lion head too. like but Nobody can really beat a lion head. Those are really, really adorable.
00:57:46
Speaker
Who would have thought that, well, Luna, what about you? Do you have a favorite? um I would say the lock because I can view them from my window and they are so cute. so It's such a random question. It's such a random question that all of us, yeah, Briar, thank you, that we all have opinions about the best rabbit of all random things. I love that about Farm RPG and the mobs. Thank you. Thank you, Briar. Also, RKM is how are we so awesome? We're not. We suck. I'm going to go ahead and agree with that. Except Luna. Luna's good. Luna's good. Thanks for joining us, Luna.
00:58:25
Speaker
Boilers for livestock skins. Here's the one I'll give you. There is a Highland cow coming eventually, so stop asking me for it. I promise there's a Highland cow. It's coming. Don't don't ask me for it anymore. i drew it i drew It was the first one I drew. Next question.
00:58:44
Speaker
Oh, that's too funny. Who's my favorite non-mod player? I don't know. I don't know that you should answer that question. The answer I feel like for everybody is probably PATA. I feel like it's good to be PATA. It's PATA. That's good. Duh. Who's favorite player non-mod isn't PATA?
Recognition of Community Players
00:59:09
Speaker
Yeah, it's true. Maybe Hulk. Hulk is Hulk is good too. Hulk is good too. Hulk smash. Hulk smash. Yeah, they've like stayed in their lane for years at this point. Like, and they have never not been themselves. So, very impressive.
00:59:26
Speaker
Uh, for who they are. I have a couple in help chat before we end, although nothing particularly. Wait, there's only two? ah never We got a ton um spoiler. So whatever you want to do, I'm pneumonia ass. I don't know if anyone knows maybe whether or not zone freezing is based on nets used or fish caught.
00:59:43
Speaker
um I know that answer, but I'm not sharing. So next question, ah Victoria Lanford asks, maybe not for the podcast, but do expeditions ever find super rares? I've had conflicting answers on this chat. I can answer this, although I'm not sure if I should, but no, you cannot get super rares from expeditions. um I don't think, or if you can. So so this kind of comes down to like the programming.
01:00:13
Speaker
wow This kind of comes down to programming, and I would have to go in and look at some of the code again, but I'm like 95% certain you can't, or it's so unbelievably rare that it will never happen. ah So, um sorry, don't use Expeditions for Superares is what I'm trying to tell you. And then the last question is Nixia Bell, who's literally in every chat all the time. Shout out to Nixia Bell. Why was Prancer singled out?
01:00:42
Speaker
Do you want to tell? you Go ahead. So we're kind of ratting poor Tenfu out. I feel like, um, yeah, I guess we're going to rat Tenfu out for a second. He forgot. Yeah, he forgot Prancer. so he forgot And we missed it in review too, because we were all just very busy and ah we just were like, oh, this looks great. And then we realized later that we forgot Prancer. Oops. Yeah, it happens once.
01:01:08
Speaker
We have still have so many questions. Do we wanna take this a little longer? Just to give it? Yeah, why not? We'll just do a couple more and then we can close it out. You two have time. For me, I don't have anything else to do today. Oh, very good. Well, all right. Very nice. What's your favorite pizza toppings? You know, i I'm a bacon and pineapple girly. Those are my two favorites to put on a pizza. Bacon and pineapple together. Sometimes you could do a little fresh jalapeno in the mix and that's really good. And ham.
01:01:36
Speaker
Ham, I like bacon better than the ham. Well, why not both? It's more meat. Ham's a little wet. I feel like ham's like is a wet ingredient. If it's cooked improperly. With the pineapple, which is also kind of wet. i It makes it sloppy. that It does make for a sloppy a sloppy pizza. but Anyway, what's your what's your favorite there, Luna? I think I'm pretty basic with pepperoni pizza. That's a good choice, too. The classic. Yeah, I'm basic.
01:02:06
Speaker
It's just good though. It is good. ah Let's see here. What are some of the major updates we are looking for? Looking to roll out in the next year. ah I don't know, honestly, probably mining. Mining's coming out of beta, but sometime in the next year. I don't know if we can even talk about anything.
01:02:28
Speaker
Yeah, I would say, you know, mining would be the number one thing, but the rest is kind of ah not able to be shared. Uh, yeah, sorry. We can't really, we can't go too far into that arc 47, but mining's coming, promise.
01:02:44
Speaker
ah Someone new or Simon ah asks looking back at how laggy the game was and where it's standing now What's your most exciting moment of this year? I don't know how that really plays in to the question It's a very that's sort of like two different questions. Yeah, I mean we were really laggy because we had a huge explosion last Christmas we we had like a lot of people join and And there was some technical details. There were some technical yeah issues as well. There were technical issues. We had a large influx of new players, technical issues, and we've sorted the technical issues out now and for the most part for the most part. So ah a lot of the code was rewritten to be.
01:03:26
Speaker
More efficient and yes, we did get I think a new server. Also during that all I don't know that we told anyone that did we? so we did i sorry he' so Sorry about that. You're killing us Wow giving away secrets on the pod. Anyway, that happened like so I mean I that was happened before I even joined Yeah admin, so I knew Anyway ah Who's the actual question? What's my most excited moment of this year? Maybe getting to redraw all of the animals for me personally. I love drawing animals and getting to redraw all of the the farm animals is like, you know, that's like giving me ah basically a large chocolate cake. That's like my favorite thing. If you like chocolate cake. That's like giving me something that is extra delicious to enjoy for me to enjoy.
01:04:22
Speaker
And I enjoyed it greatly. What about you, Luna? Favorite moment of this year? um that exciting moment um I would say actually become a staff member. so And fun that was ah very crazy for me. And ah yeah, it's just very handsome i for shade so you are very very helpful health well and friendly. And that if anybody's ever interested in becoming staff, just be helpful and friendly and active in chat. And we might notice you. And if we notice you, we may be like, Hey,
01:04:56
Speaker
What is your availability? That's a thing that can happen. so And Luna is a shining example of this. Yeah. And that was so true I was pretty surprised that ah I was allowed to be a staff member now.
01:05:11
Speaker
And yeah, I love it. It was one of the most exciting things here. Well, we're very glad to have you. You are a fun addition to our staff. So thank you for being here. I'm glad to be of help. Yes, it's awesome. It's awesome to have you. Forest Path? Yeah. What is your most exciting moment of the year?
01:05:33
Speaker
I probably should, instead of listening to Luna's answer, I should have been thinking about my own. Is it the chair? I feel like it's got to be the chair. It's not the chair. That was pretty fun though. That was really funny. Oh my goodness. I don't know. It's very hard for me to pick one thing. When I look back at former RPG, I'm just very excited about a lot of things.
01:05:55
Speaker
um So many things happen in a year's time in farm RPG that I think picking out a favorite is a little difficult for me, especially because, you know, as you know, Buban, you know, being a part of the team that kind of helps bring stuff to life. um There's things that I'm excited about that and that that I can't talk about there' that we're still working on. Yeah, you know,
01:06:20
Speaker
So um it's it's really, really difficult to pick. um I would I would say any time that I see new content released, whether it's, you know, pets or ten foods, class or my class or a new mechanic, those are all just truly exciting
Excitement for New Content
01:06:35
Speaker
moments. So sorry, I'm going to cop out and ah and say everything. That's fine. That's not a cop out. It's a cop out.
01:06:45
Speaker
And that was our really our last real question, other than somebody asking me who the sassiest member of staff was, and I already answered them and I said it was you. Which I feel like is- Why are you calling Luna sassy? No, no, not you. Not Luna, you, you, Force Path. You. I said Force Path specifically. Oh, this is such a classic who's on first moment. Yeah. Whoa, so funny. Really, funny. But yes, also somebody asked who's the grumpiest. I don't think we have a grumpy staff member, honestly.
01:07:13
Speaker
I don't think so. No, nobody on staff is grumpy. Not anymore. Not really. We had some grumpy people on staff before. but think I think grumpy is sort of a spectrum too, right? Everyone wakes up, has a bad day every now and again. yeah so i think I think it's a little unfair to call people grumpy in general. I wouldn't want to feel grumpiness. but yeah You know, sometimes it's fine. Nobody's grumpy, but nobody's nobody on the team is grumpy at all. So nobody's grumpy at all. Sassy. Yes. A lot of people on the team are sassy. That's true. You know, honestly, Koala Corki might be one of the sassier members of um staff. He's very sassy. Oh, speaking of. There we go. Oh, yeah. You got to give them give him a give him a solid band.
01:08:00
Speaker
Yeah, there we go. Okay. Nothing. Nothing. He's saying that he's sassy. He's not. Nothing. You're not
Nethe's Coal Emblem Prank
01:08:06
Speaker
sassy. He's pretty sassy, he' sassy, but he's not that sassy. he' I don't know many people that are. That's true. You better, you better make him.
01:08:19
Speaker
Hold on a moment. Yeah. yeah me they this I love doing that. Oh my gosh. Just the little things for me. I don't know if anybody knows the gag. I don't know if we've talked about it, but every once in a while Forest Path will go and change Nethe's player emblem to a piece of coal. Just like lovely love super funny. And he, he doesn't notice until he started chatting usually. So Yeah, which normally comes up with like a comes up with a little anger. Yeah, he's just this like, wait a minute, I'm cold again. And it's it happens. And, you know, as an addendum to that, actually, you know, there's the farm RPG staff page where it lists out all the farm review members. I think Gideon kind of did that.
01:09:06
Speaker
um Man, I'm outing myself, but three months ago, I went into that page and added that he loves Cole and no one has noticed. Oh boy. I think it's changed. It better not be. I think so. But because we talked about that page yesterday and I finally added my sentence and I think when I checked it, it was changed. Was it not there anymore? Oh my God, that'd be hilarious.
01:09:34
Speaker
Unbelievable. he and changedd again Yeah, you can put it back in hilarious. I got to find that page first, though. Yeah. Good luck. Good luck. Oh, I found it. Let's go take a look real quick. We're just wasting everyone's time on the. That's all right. We can we can wrap we can wrap it up.
