Unique Podcast in MMORPG Space
00:01:07
Speaker
This is your favorite podcast about a text-based farming MMORPG on ah mobile and browser.
00:01:16
Speaker
At least it should be your favorite. I think it's the only one. i i don't I don't know of any other podcasts about um a similar topic. Oh, you're saying the the podcast is your favorite, not the game. No, not the game. Because I was like... i'm I know of other, I think, games. No, I'm talking about the podcast. It feels just a little self-serving. No, i'm talking about us right now, what we're doing currently.
00:01:39
Speaker
Well, but that's sort of like I have one kid and I'm like, you're my favorite Yeah, that's exactly it. For truth. That's the vibe. it's the We're their favorite because they have no other options. We're everybody's favorite.
00:01:51
Speaker
ah You know what? I wonder if there is another option. I wonder if someone else has made a Farm RPG. That'd be really funny. I mean, I think bellag get Belligan did. This is the second one, even. Like, this one, we've got two separate podcasts, one previous and one this new one, this reboot.
00:02:08
Speaker
that's I mean, I don't know if it's Harley can be considered a reboot now. We've literally had ah like over a year of episodes, which is I mean, but like in the time it's taken us to record 12 episodes, I didn't Bell do like oh Bell did so many more. Yeah, he was doing them weekly. I think man was. Yeah, he and that was the ambition.
00:02:28
Speaker
ah was spitting vinegar right there. I was on that one. Yeah, you were on that one. I was on that one so many times. Yeah, were. I'm on this one so many times. movie Anyway, nobody can get enough of me. Let's be real.
00:02:40
Speaker
i'm I'm here. I'm like, you know. Except for you. go ahead. Go ahead. Take a dig. Do it. No thing. See, I challenged him to. Yeah. Okay. The sing song you voiced back.
Apology for Late Episode
00:02:53
Speaker
Anyway, welcome back, everybody. ah Thank you for being here. Thanks, everyone. It's July. um And we're a little bit, we're we're a little late on this episode. Sorry, the 4th of July had us all a little busy, so we couldn't record, but we're back.
00:03:06
Speaker
We're not skipping it this year. Yes, some of us did have stuff to do. i had a lot of things to do. You did nothing. I did. You know what I did? I played a lot of um blueprints. Anyway, you play blueprints?
00:03:19
Speaker
ah A lot of it. A lot of blueprints. So much blueprints. and I really want to hear your story. I'm not joking. Like, so much time.
00:03:29
Speaker
But ah we'll talk about it in tea time. Later, later, later. Oh, okay. Fair, fair, fair, fair. Yeah, it's not Farm RPG oriented. Fair, fair, fair, fair, fair. I can't say it fast.
00:03:40
Speaker
No? Okay. Fair. Oh, hi, Nethi. Nethi can say it pretty fast. Nethi's pretty slick with it.
Game Updates and Quality of Life Changes
00:03:50
Speaker
It's true.
00:03:54
Speaker
ah What we usually do at the beginning of this? We talk about the updates. didn't see what the last update we talked about because i didn't do what the last update we talked about was because i'm I didn't want to go back and listen to the last episode. Sorry.
00:04:10
Speaker
So we're just going make like an educated guess that it was like the second update of June. yeah Because the the temple quality of life, I don't think we discussed. i remember No.
00:04:22
Speaker
So it's probably the second episode of June. June 1st update we definitely talked about, but I think so, yeah. and then We would have had to. Yeah, some stuff happened. So, June 11th update, going through the updates, there was a temple quality of life, which you can claim all on the rewards now, which is really handy because it shows you when you've got, um when it's doubled, if you have that perk, which is cool.
00:04:45
Speaker
It's a big click saver also, if you're actually doing your daily temples, which everybody should have been doing in their daily temples now. We are going to talk about it later, but the daily temples... not everyone... okay If you're capable of doing that of doing them daily.
00:05:00
Speaker
Let's not play the FOMO game here. If you're listening to this podcast, you're probably doing it. Let's be real. because i don't agree that i don't think so yeah i don't I don't agree with that at all. You really don't understand.
00:05:13
Speaker
some of that No, the old timers use an AI text search to find the password and then don't listen the podcast. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's fine.
00:05:25
Speaker
Listen, hustle if you got a hustle. I don't mind. Just don't give out the password to in the chat until three days have passed. That's all. I'm not saying that there was any accusation there. I'm just saying i think the width and breadth of our audience is bigger than you realize. Do your daily temples.
00:05:44
Speaker
make no generalizations. Do your daily temples if you can. If you can. Anyway, we're going to get into it after, okay? We'll get into it. The daily temples didn't even come out June 11th. don't why you're talking about right now. I know, because we're talking about the temple quality of life.
00:06:00
Speaker
But this temple quality of life came out way before the temple came out. I don't understand. There's a whole section here, dog, that says this is a big click slash time saver if you do temples regularly.
00:06:11
Speaker
So, i'm I'm looping it in to a later update. don't Don't test me and this early in the podcast. You're testing me. It's a test now. Anyway, exploring counts and daily leaderboard. This is fun. This is a fun thing, right?
00:06:26
Speaker
You like this? That we're tracking the number of times you explore in each location. And this data can be seen if you go to the location details near the top ahll you'll see the names and the amount of times that you've explored that location that day and all time, which is cool. So you can see how much time you've wasted in a single location.
00:06:45
Speaker
And there's a new thing where you can see the top daily explorers in the area to show you if you are at the top of the cool explorers leaderboard. That for that day. ah And the Explorers come from using stamina. So Lemonade and Arbol Palmers do not count for that. And ah the new data, it's being tracked. So the numbers will only be as of June 11th forward.
00:07:07
Speaker
So if there's like, you know, your Explorers previously... Yeah, my numbers are really small. Are small in comparison because you you haven't really explored that much probably since June 11th.
00:07:18
Speaker
um To opt out, you can go to your settings and turn that off in the game options if you go to show profile stats. ah there's ah There's a new temple in here that people could do also. That's already over, I think. Oh, is it over?
00:07:31
Speaker
No, I think it's not. I think i think and aren't the aren't they the sea turtles still around? Yeah, they are. I'm sorry. Yeah, no, you can still do it. It's two months.
00:07:42
Speaker
We let them hang around for two months. ah But yeah, so it was a red dye. It was a red dye temple. um The buddy beach ball was back. You missed it if you're listening to this at this point. um If it's like new for you. but The beach ball bounce is really fun and cool and you like bounce a beach ball around and you get little items and pick that up.
00:07:59
Speaker
ah There's a new text command slash mastery which will show I was right. The red dye temple is gone. is it Get out here, girlfriend. Well, I thought... Question the guy that has to manage all this stuff. Listen, listen, you could have corrected me You should known. You tried. and I tried and you tried to slap me down and I went back and double checked it.
00:08:19
Speaker
said, don't know. Go ahead. No, you did not. Okay. Editors, you know what to do. of Have my back one time. The editor's note will show the booban and forced path.
00:08:30
Speaker
We're talking about different things. And in fact, we're both right. You know what? I think you should go back and edit it so that it sounds like I said and that it it, I don't know. So if you want to have his back editors, you could do that or you could edit it so that you have my back and I said it happened. I don't know.
00:08:47
Speaker
i don't know if it happened. Who knows? Anyway, other notes, you can do the me command. It comes out as a different color. So you can't troll people no more. You can't troll anybody anymore with the me command, which was fun and cute. But like now you can't do it anymore. Sorry.
00:09:02
Speaker
and that pretty much was it. There was no real event, uh, in June. We just were like, no event, sorry. But the beach ball bounce is kind of an event. And also we had an event that happened right at the beginning of July, which you've missed already. Sorry.
00:09:17
Speaker
We're doing a really good job of telling people about things that they've missed. I'm excellent at that. It's the FOMO. I'm just like hitting you with FOMO. Guess what?
00:09:28
Speaker
There is no more fear of missing out. You already missed out. Sorry. Uh, the next one, did you want to do it or do you want me to continue? You can go ahead. Oh, okay. So on June 17th, we had a quality of life menu.
00:09:42
Speaker
so if you're on a mobile device and you hold down the house button at the bottom, like right of your. Most people call it the home button, but I guess we've been calls it the house button.
00:09:54
Speaker
looks like a little house. Yes, but it is colloquial known as the home button. Okay. Is this just like, it's a house. It's a picture of a house.
00:10:05
Speaker
Anyway, hold down the home button. Guys, it's going to a long podcast. Yes, it will be a long podcast. A little menu will pop up with some cool stuff. It has handy links to like your daily chores and your help needed page.
00:10:19
Speaker
Also to the updates, which you could be reading along with us if you really wanted to. Go and push that button right now. You could catch up. You could go do it now while I read this through and you could read along with me. How about that? Anyway, other changes. The refresher pack has been turned off.
00:10:33
Speaker
I don't know if that's something that you were interested in buying in the, i think it was in the gold menu. You could have bought the refresher pack. It had some. This was in the, was it in this? and The name of them is the buy gold menu.
00:10:46
Speaker
Okay. The buy gold menu. It's not in the flea market is what I'm saying. It's like, okay. yeah Yeah. It was an interesting experiment. It was an interesting experiment. um It might come back someday, but right now it is not.
00:10:59
Speaker
that It's not in there. You can't get anymore. ah You can still buy gold from the game ah to get refresher pack items at the flea market. So if you want to buy gold and just buy the items, you can do that. There's a bunch of cool items at the flea market, ah like cranberry juice, I believe, right?
00:11:14
Speaker
Yes. That's a good one. What if you were wrong? but I don't know. i don't See, here's the thing. i I have no idea. I don't use the flea market. well yeah I don't need to use the flea market. I have so many cranberry juices that I haven't drank.
00:11:27
Speaker
So there's like no reason for me to buy any at the moment. So... Some pop-up menus linked on dark mode have now have a light green color instead of a dark blue.
00:11:38
Speaker
And there was a ah issue that was fixed with the temple of rewards, making the pop-up screen larger than the actual device screen. Here's a nice one that you can do. I think that you deserve to do June 23rd, actually. I deserve. Yes, you deserve to do it You did lot of work.
00:11:55
Speaker
This is your baby. I don't know about all that. It's partially your baby. Fair. um Hey, June 2025. It says in all caps, but I will read it in a monotone, all caps
New Challenges and Features in Farm RPG
00:12:09
Speaker
voice.
00:12:09
Speaker
Tower levels 251 to 300 available. Yes, that was pretty exciting. Actually, we stealthily released a bunch of new tower levels. A lot of people were getting up to the T250 level and we said, all right, it's time to give people something to do.
00:12:27
Speaker
So we did it. We spent a good amount of time figuring all that stuff out. And then they were there. And it was really fun to watch everyone suddenly realize there was something to do.
00:12:41
Speaker
And yeah the whole server just kind of goes boom. I love that. So lot of fun. 50 new levels. um Each one requires specific mega mastery or maybe two or maybe three.
00:12:54
Speaker
We also on that same day, release some special temples, uh, trying something new out. Uh, you will go into the temple. There will be an opportunity to sacrifice cicadas or so cicada shells, uh, in return for some, stone items. And then you,
00:13:20
Speaker
What? Stone fragments. Stone fragments. I'm sorry. you go. No, you're good. You're good. I'm just here to help you. I'm just going to mouth it to you so that you can like, you know. It's different than a stone item that you make with like iron cups out of.
00:13:34
Speaker
Yeah. Different than that. Thank you guys. I appreciate the correction. I should be more precise and helpful. I'm here to help you. and he Listen, I've been corrected all night, so already we're only 13 minutes in. Shockingly, actually, 13 minutes feels like a long time.
00:13:50
Speaker
Anyway, continue. It's just like we've... We feel like we just started. the This is more of an endgame temple. um The goal is for you to go in and donate cicadas or cicada shells and reset the temple and do it again.
00:14:05
Speaker
um Kind of a new concept. ah Something that seems a lot of people are enjoying at some level. ah We may do it again. and um But again, this is more of like for something for people that are a little bit farther into the game, getting cicadas, cicada shells, not the simplest thing. But if you do do it, you know, there's some good stuff in there. Some cranberry juice, some apple pies, some palmers, some apple cider. Yeah, you get that cicada.
00:14:32
Speaker
At the end, you can transfer it all out and get your stone cicada. Mm-hmm. Then there's a little quest you can do which I front-loaded asking for the stone cicada so people wouldn't get halfway through it and then be frustrated.
00:14:45
Speaker
so You know, which just we we really do think a lot about like how people will see this stuff and then interact with it. So I'll pop into July 1st since I kind of know a little bit about what we're going to talk about here. And then you can and handle the last one.
00:15:03
Speaker
Sure. Look at that. Sure. I mean, the last one, whatever, but let's. Whatever, buddy. You just gotta do it because i know it's available. I got it. I got
Community Events and Feedback
00:15:14
Speaker
it. Don't worry. I got it.
00:15:15
Speaker
I got it, buddy. Killing me. All right. Starter pack two available. So this one is Beatrix booming brawl box. Oh, two. And it gives you access to the bottle rocket brawl. Everybody loves shooting rockets at their friends.
00:15:34
Speaker
The Bottle Rocket Brawl is available then for you if you've bought the starter pack. If you haven't and you've just been completing your daily chores, you get it on the 14th. The Brawl is available essentially from July 4th through the 31st or the 14th through the 31st. We try to balance it around. So if you buy it, we want you to have a little bit extra because we appreciate your support.
00:15:56
Speaker
um But we don't want to make it too terrible. So we once you do your daily chores, you get it You can shoot bottle rockets as your friend. I'm pretty sure every single day in the staff chat, someone is posting about a silly name that they've hit or hitting another staff member or missing another staff member.
00:16:13
Speaker
It's a lot of fun. Maybe we'll come back and do some more stuff to make it even more interesting in the future. But it's just a nice little way to see all the different names and people in the community because there are so many names.
00:16:25
Speaker
There are a lot. names So we start that. When you shoot the model rockets, by the way, you will get event tokens. And those event tokens, there's an event shop out there right now.
00:16:38
Speaker
Painstakingly curated by your favorite admin team. And... Painstakingly, yes. I mean, there there are pains. and We argue sometimes.
00:16:49
Speaker
Yeah, sometimes we talk about what's balanced or unbalanced or fun or not fun. It's good. It's good. It's like a nice it's like a thought experiment about what everybody's going to enjoy.
00:17:00
Speaker
So anyways, the event shop is there. One thing I am going to mention that you will see in the notes there is towards the second half of the month, you will be able to buy some previous starter pack items for event tokens.
00:17:12
Speaker
So I'm pretty excited about this. i'm going to try something new again. i like trying new things, seeing what works, what doesn't work. So I can't tell you which packs will be in there, but I will tell you that they will be from 2023.
00:17:26
Speaker
And then you will also be able to complete the starter quest from that event pack. So if you are someone that has really been like saving up those event tokens,
00:17:39
Speaker
you might be able to you know buy it and then complete a starter quest pack too. We really wanted to, especially for people that haven't been around as long. So I'm pretty excited about that. Should be interesting. Definitely want to get people's feedback on that. You could DM Force Path if you have thoughts on that once it's gone live.
00:17:57
Speaker
And, ah you know, Obviously, no idea is perfect, but we just want to try to keep things interesting and new and and fun. So ah let's see here. Anything else? so You'll talk about the July event.
00:18:10
Speaker
ah We did also have a new Raptor type, ah some new Buddy Dolls, and some Sub Shop upgrades. So there you go. Those are some so And then on the July 3rd update, ah we had ah the event. It was basically the event was live from the 3rd to July 8th, which was just like two days ago. It just ended. You just missed it.
00:18:31
Speaker
ah There was 10% more XP, 10% more silver when selling at the farmer's market, 10% more item mastery, and extra fish while fishing manually.
00:18:42
Speaker
So you could have got that ah that merit badge done a little bit quicker, maybe. ah And then the Bottle Rocket Battle went live at that point, which again, we talked about you needed the helmet to get, which again is in the starter pack for day 14. So you're going to be able to join in eventually if you haven't caught it yet.
00:19:01
Speaker
And the event shop is live and there was also a mailbox cap sale, like so you could upgrade your mailbox if you really wanted to at that time, but that's also over now. Sorry. Nethi's so against it because he's the no no trade gang.
00:19:17
Speaker
Yeah. Is yours still 15? Sure is, yeah. Yeah. That's only because of beta. We could fix that. Yeah, you know, we could we could probably lessen it for you if you really wanted us to. Actually, that we could make it bigger.
00:19:29
Speaker
Oh, I thought maybe you wanted me to make it, like, one. i think that would be funny. That would be actually funny if you made it one. i would like that. feel like for Nethi, I would make it one. I feel like you could do... Yeah, why not?
00:19:42
Speaker
Like, the only person in the game with a one mailbox... That would be funny. Yeah, I think so. like that. Yeah, it would be good.
00:19:53
Speaker
Wouldn't be bad. No, I think it'd be i think'd be a fun idea. So we can think about it. While we're here, I'm going to pull the swear a jar winner. so ah I don't know if you guys remember the swear jar. It's mostly the um jar now. We don't really swear very much, but sometimes we do.
00:20:11
Speaker
It counts up. ierated it I've been trying not to swear. Yeah, me too. swear a lot. Not a lot, but I swear enough. I swear a lot, a lot in my like personal life, but I were also work in customer service, so like I know when to not do it, so I can i can really shut it off. I feel like I just don't swear because I don't want to make work for the editors.
00:20:34
Speaker
like yeah about It's less about like whether or not I want to swear and more about I recognize they have to listen to the whole episode. Markle swears. and So that's why it's the um jar. Really? Technically, if we're going to be honest, it' it's really should just be changed to the um jar, but I'm still calling it the swear jar because it's fun.
00:20:54
Speaker
No one knows what the swear jar is. No one knows what the yum jar That's true. So we've pulled but the winner. So this person, you must message me. it i don't know how to pronounce it. I think it's ah just Chineo2, which is C-H-I-N-E-E-0-2. That's C-H-I-N-E-E. Two E's, double E.
00:21:13
Speaker
zero two So you send me a message and I'll send you over the amount of gold that is on this week's or this month's what's it called?
00:21:23
Speaker
Swear jar. How much was it? It was 185, which doesn't feel like a lot. I think we're getting pretty good at not umming after a year in and, I don't know, a year and a month of doing this podcast.
00:21:35
Speaker
Or maybe more, actually. year and couple months. Three months. Yeah, we've been doing the podcast for a while. It was like last May or last April. Yeah. um Right after I came on as admin, I believe.
00:21:47
Speaker
Like right after that month, basically. You're an admin? I can't believe it either. Somehow I got here. i think you should become an admin. Yeah, why not? just Let's just look at that let's get them all in.
00:22:00
Speaker
Let's bring them all up. believe you bring well and That doesn't sound like chaos. Yeah, that would be really fun. Definitely. It would be fun. It'd make my life more interesting, I think. Just bringing everybody up. Do it. Pull them all in the dev chat. Perfect.
00:22:13
Speaker
Love it. Yeah, we don't have enough chaos in our lives. No, it's already crazy enough. Everybody's like crazy alliterations all the time. i don't know.
00:22:24
Speaker
We have fun here. We do. do mute Well, I'm not going to disagree with that statement. Yeah, we have fun. We good time. We have more fun than not fun. Except when Nethy's around. Oh my God, when that guy's around, nobody's having any fun. wet blanket. Whoa. Whoa.
00:22:40
Speaker
oh Anyway, we're not doing a Nethy interview. So unless Nethy has some some updates for us, no? Check the last podcast. Check the last podcast. That's all about Nethy, that one. This one, he's just hanging out with us. That's all about Nethy.
00:22:54
Speaker
We're just hanging out on this one. ah Yeah.
Content Creation and Updates
00:22:58
Speaker
What else we got? I just am like thinking about... What have we been working on? we i mean, up these updates were like huge. We did a lot.
00:23:06
Speaker
Yeah, it's really kind of a bummer because I you know was looking at the tower update and like it's just like three lines, but the amount of time it took to like get all of that together was not three lines. No, no. And all the quests and stuff that have been coming out. Oh my word. Tenfu's been on fire.
00:23:24
Speaker
Tenfu has been on fire with all of the, like, all the quests that are out right now. ah What's happening? the I mean, the Bug Explorer, was that one you or is that one him? I can't remember.
00:23:37
Speaker
doesn't matter. where i don't think it matters. Anyway, but there's a lot. There's a lot. There was the the but sea turtle quests, the sea turtle mailbox. cicadas cicadas so much bug explorer bug explorer unique meals yeah unique meals yeah yeah there's a lot there's a lot going on in our in our little world right now so um um hope everybody's enjoying all the content that we made and then we immediately all were like it's july 1st we must rest it's basically what happened
00:24:14
Speaker
That's far more accurate than I'm comfortable with. Yeah, we were all like...
00:24:20
Speaker
Dude, I mean, I traveled for all the fourths. Yes, you did. You did. And I had i had my mom's dog here, um which is... Two dogs is a lot. Having two dogs in the house is a lot.
00:24:32
Speaker
Um, so having my mom's dog here over July 4th was, here's the problem with him is my mom refuses to get him fixed. So he will pee on my couch and I have to put a diaper on him.
00:24:44
Speaker
So like this dog is in a diaper in my house. Like it's, it's just hell on earth. It's fine. He's a good boy. I love him very much, but you know, that's why cats are better.
00:24:56
Speaker
be i mean, I know boy cats that piss all over everything. So like, no, I don't think so. Well, I still think cats are better, and I'm right. so my just is my thing My dog doesn't pee on anything. She's the best.
00:25:10
Speaker
um pull Oh, it's better dogs or cats? Oh, that sounds like a terrible idea. I mean, I mean, I'm allowed to make giant isopods have giant isopods on there.
00:25:23
Speaker
You can make them. I mean, know, what harm? When the cats away, the mice will play. Exactly. I'll see if I can figure it out.
00:25:35
Speaker
Yeah, i bet you can. Listen, i know I think I know where it is. i know what I'm not going to touch it, though. Oh, it's in that menu, isn't it? i think so, yeah. Okay, yeah. Maybe I'll put a little pull.
00:25:49
Speaker
Yeah, why not? A little sneaky little pull. A sneaky little pull. um Speaking of sneaky little pull, do we want to like make the secret...
00:26:00
Speaker
the ah ah secret secret thing ah now i don't know what we want to pick uh for our our word i know what we're giving out i just don't know what we want the word to be what do we want the word to be i've already been here so i feel like it's not fair you're allowed to i feel like if you want to come up with it you can come up with it you're our guest it's like your reward for for being on my reward it's your reward yeah i'm cold thanks love that
00:26:33
Speaker
Get him. Get him. Oh, that was amazing. That was so good. and you know' As soon as we clicked play, it was done. you changed it.
00:26:46
Speaker
So we, I don't know if anybody, if I don't know if we've gone over this on the podcast before, but we like to, and and by we, I mean, Forest Path likes to go in and change Nethy's emblem to coal, like a piece of coal.
00:26:59
Speaker
And it's just been a running gag for a long time. It just randomly will happen. Next thing I know, I'm typing in chat and I see Cole. So it happens.
00:27:11
Speaker
it was It's really good. It's too funny. If you see that he is Cole, like a piece of Cole in chat, you know that we just hit him with it at some point. And by we, again, I mean Forcebath. Because i i don't I've asked you to make him Cole before.
00:27:25
Speaker
been like, make Nethy Cole right now.
00:27:29
Speaker
It's true. won't deny it. Yeah. So I guess it is we in that regard. When I, when I ask you to please make him Cole.
00:27:39
Speaker
Oh man. that's too funny. How about make him Cole? Yeah. the pass again No, that's not the password. Yeah. That's it. It's a, you can't say that word.
00:27:53
Speaker
Oh, too late. Already did it. It's make him call. Anyway. It is. Okay, we can do that. I think that's fun. That's a fun one. That's a fun secret phrase. but And now everybody has to they'll have to know what that means. Also, or if you're one of those people that just like, you know, uses AI to find the password in these bad boys, you don't know the context of it.
00:28:15
Speaker
You don't understand the context of it. So you don't get the inside joke. But if you get the inside joke, you're just like in on it now. I just it's just too funny to me. It's fun. It's a good time. um So make sure to type that in. you're going to get a very special treat, I think, for this month only, I guess. I mean, it'll add to you if you do this and past this episode. So if you're one of those really cool people that is randomly listening in like September or something, you still get you'll still get the item. It'll just add into your bucket for another event. Wow, you've kind of really given it away at this point. It's like, oh, well, here's all the stipulations around this. I just want to preface it for the people that are like, you know, you're really bad at secrets.
00:28:56
Speaker
The future people. I'm great at secrets. No, you're not. You said the word password right after. That's a new trope we're trying. It doesn't help. They find it anyway.
00:29:07
Speaker
I think and don't think it fools literally a single person. I don't think so either. But we like to pretend. Come on. Yeah, pretending is fun. But, you know. So we're just going to play pretend? We're playing pretend, yeah.
00:29:21
Speaker
All right. That's fair. So that's that. That's all that stuff. We got that out of the way. All that housekeeping. But we can just like either head into tea time. I don't know if you prepared your special talk or not. Well, I'm going to try something little bit different this time.
00:29:38
Speaker
And then we're going compare and contrast. So... so I'm just a dear listener. It's been a, it's been a busy long month for me. So I did not get a chance to write a script.
00:29:52
Speaker
so I'm going try to go a little bit off script today. And if it doesn't work, we'll just go back to scripted for the future. And if you message me and you say that I got something wrong, I'll be like, yeah, you probably are right.
00:30:04
Speaker
I was trying, but I failed. So, you know, that's just going to be what it's going to be. Trying is the best thing you can do. And ah we I don't know that we'll have a jingle this time, um but I am going to give you a preview of the name that we decided on for this part of the podcast.
00:30:25
Speaker
yeah I don't know it. No, you don't know it. No, you definitely don't know know it Okay, so I'm just going to give a little preview to our audience.
00:30:38
Speaker
um If you figure this out, I will give you 2,000 gold. You will not figure this out.
00:30:50
Speaker
No. Okay, so you are now going to be listening to FRPGPPFAAQWWDHKDHKTLFO.
00:31:02
Speaker
And today we're going to talk about the stamina cap but and specifically resting We're also going to briefly touch on apple pies. So last time we talked about exploring effectiveness, whether or not apple pie or apple cider, I'm sorry, not apple pie, apple cider or palmers are better. Today we're going to talk about what the farmhouse does, why it's important for how you play, and how you can maximize use of that or not and still come out ahead.
Stamina Management in Farm RPG
00:31:31
Speaker
So for those of you who are in the know, Whenever you rest at the farmhouse, it increases your stamina. What you may not know is that if you are already capped on stamina, the system will look and it will bank your extra stamina every three hours.
00:31:55
Speaker
So we call those stamina ticks and there's eight of those day. So Most usually. Yes. Well, there are, you know, every now and again, like a blip.
00:32:08
Speaker
But that means that if you have 500 stamina cap, your farmhouse will collect an extra 500 stamina during that tick. And that tick starts at midnight, by the way.
00:32:21
Speaker
So like 12 to 3, 3 to 6, etc., etc. And that's all server time related. So if you were to rest at 1205 and you come back and play the game again 1205 the next day, um and again, this is written in generalities. Please don't like look at, like, oh I did this exactly at 1205 and something didn't work.
00:32:40
Speaker
ah though That wasn't the point. But anyways, you would come back and have 4,000 stamina to collect from your farmhouse. So this is known as stamina banking.
00:32:52
Speaker
And so that's part of the reason why you want to rest every day is because every day you're clicking that button, you're giving yourself more stamina. And that's a great source of stamina. Now let's talk about the second piece of this, which is the apple pie. um Apple pies were introduced to just a little over two years ago now. Actually.
00:33:12
Speaker
Wow. Really? It's actually three. They actually came out. They came out in September of 2023, believe. Oh my. It's actually two years. Yeah, we're just two years. Yeah.
00:33:23
Speaker
Oh, my Lord. It's just it's almost there. oh the ah the apple pie ah increases your stamina cap ah by 10 per exploring level and then by one per tower level.
00:33:38
Speaker
Right. So in totality, then, as an example, if you are in tower 300, Eating an apple pie would give you an bonus stamina cap of $1,290.
00:33:52
Speaker
What does this mean for you? That means you get eight times that every 24 hours. The reason why apple pies are so powerful is because you're essentially getting that stamina every single day that you rest.
00:34:06
Speaker
Now, I want to point this something out at this time. There is a cap on how much rested stamina you can carry at any one time, and that's 500,000. It's a little bit arbitrary.
00:34:17
Speaker
may change in the future, but at the current time, you cannot go over 500,000 rested like bonus stamina. So if you're there, you definitely need to rest to get it. Otherwise, it's just going to be wasted.
00:34:31
Speaker
So you can now see why apple pies are so valuable, because while they aren't necessarily a short-term gain, like going into trade and buying orange juice or whatever, buying an apple pie or getting an apple pie means that you are getting...
00:34:48
Speaker
In essence, you could be getting like 5,000 orange juice a day. Right. ah Sick. Which is sick. Yeah, it's awesome. This is why the farmhouse is so important.
00:35:02
Speaker
ah Because again, you're really not always going to get as much stamina as you can use with apple ciders. um That's why cranberry juices exist. That's why the resting exists. So pay attention to your farmhouse.
00:35:16
Speaker
Do not ignore it. And when someone's like, Apple Pie is really good and you want to know why this is why. ah All of this information, by the way, you can look up in the library under the Apple Pie or the Farmhouse pages. Have this information probably more detailed than I did. But I just really felt like it was something to talk about because sometimes it's ah one of the more obscure mechanics of Farm RPG.
00:35:41
Speaker
In terms of things that maybe we don't explain as well. So there you go. ah This has been FRPG, PPFAA, UWW, DHK, DHK, TLFO.
00:35:53
Speaker
If somebody gets what that is, i i will love it. I will love every second of it. What's it? i Good job. Honestly, if that's not scripted, you that's excellent. he did great That was great. You did so good.
00:36:08
Speaker
and loved that. No, it wasn't scripted. I wrote the last script. This time I wanted to do it a little. i Like I said, I've been really busy, little mentally drained. So I just thought, you know, I'll just go by year. I'm still looking for more ideas, by the way, ah for things that people might want to send. it Maybe your ideas.
00:36:28
Speaker
ah like I specifically picked this one because I think the mechanic isn't necessarily as explained as other ones are. And also I just think it's cool. so it is a clear something And don't ask me to explain Raptor Fight Club.
00:36:42
Speaker
Don't do it. If you do it, I'm not going to say anything about it. We don't talk about Raptor Fight Club, so don't ask us to explain it because we you're not allowed to talk about it. I know. so It's almost like there's a wiki page to explain that so that I don't have to talk about Raptor Fight Club.
00:36:57
Speaker
I'm just saying. Yep, that's like the main thing about that one. So we won't ever, ever go over Raptor Fight Club, so don't ask. Yeah, but you ever have anything else every time you ask, a raptor gets deleted. and One of yours?
00:37:10
Speaker
No, one of Nethy's. Oh, oh no. Nethy, we're going to delete your prized raptors. Delete someone else's. No, yours are going first.
00:37:20
Speaker
I don't have that many. oh Maybe you need to explore more. Why don't you have that many? How many do you have? 1,211. That's really that many. that No, it's not. It's not that many at all. That's what i'm saying.
00:37:35
Speaker
How many do I have? I gotta know. You're lots of typing right now. Nethi, really? That's all you have? yeah Yeah. See, Boobum 2,232. Way more than I do.
00:37:48
Speaker
I love Raptors, that's why. do not delete my Raptors. i am I am number one Raptor fan. Gee, I wonder why. ah idea.
00:37:58
Speaker
i have no idea that I have to physically get every single one because otherwise I will lose my mind if I don't have every one of my children. I'm at 69 out 72. Nice. of The only one i don't have is the but chicken new new chicken Yeah, I'm at 70 out 72, but i like literally i rested my raptors on the second, the first and the second, and then I was traveling for like five days and I've had like, and I just haven't had it. But your ear whole thing about the wasp, the wasp tour, wasp tour.
00:38:34
Speaker
Yeah, the wasp tour. If you go to Force Paths profile, you will see some very important information. again we but in there but the when we were coming up with When we were coming up with this raptor, Ubon made it and and someone said that it was ah a wasp raptor. And I said, no, it's a wasp.
00:38:57
Speaker
And you know what? Firestream ignored that amazing pun and just wrote wasp raptor in there. Is that a pun or is it just like a... Play on words. i don't care what it is. It's brilliant. And I will not brook any argument from anyone that says Waspdor shouldn't be in the game.
00:39:14
Speaker
over yeah I mean, justice for Waspdor. Could you go change it in the system somehow? I mean, yes, but I feel like that's sort of like, I know it's kind of like, kind of like the whole purpose of campaign. This is true.
00:39:29
Speaker
This is true. So, and then you know, there is one other line in there. and don't know if I should say it from my gross mouth. Let's not even start. Let's not start. it' not not what Do you want to talk about it? I don't want to get on this again because I literally, i literally, i have been vindicated by everybody else on the planet Earth Other than people in Farm RPG staff who were insane and Vinny.
00:39:55
Speaker
Those are the the two groups of people that think that Bonfetti cupcakes are not vanilla cupcakes. Oh, here we go. They're vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles in them. Brother, you are so wrong. It's unreal. It's unreal.
00:40:10
Speaker
can't get into this right now this is the rest of the episode cannot brook this is unbelievable somebody is a different flavor this is vanilla it's flavored vanilla no it is not it is white but hots in it like you are this psycho this is unbelievable i cannot believe that we are having this conversation right now no no this is your fault This is... the um I'm not admitting defeat here.
00:40:36
Speaker
No, here's the thing. Vinny was just like, what? Why don't they sell funfetti instead of the vanilla cupcake? it's It's better. It's got the sprinkles in I'm like, because it's this it's the same thing. Also, they don't want to spend the money on the sprinkles.
00:40:47
Speaker
They just don't want spend the extra money the sprinkles. That is not true. And it's this... it's Listen, it tastes the exact same. you It does not. If you put a blindfold on and you tasted one next to each other, I guarantee... not You can't even tell if there's a... If it's a cherry...
00:41:02
Speaker
a flavor versus another thing. that Humans have a really bad sense of taste. And it's true. No, it's not. I'm telling you the truth. mad about this right can't tell the difference between groups. I am can 100% tell the difference. When I go into the store and I want to get ah cupcake and I order a vanilla cupcake, you know what they don't put in my cupcake? Sprinkles.
00:41:23
Speaker
I have to order Funfetti. don't make them. Funfetti is also a brand name. So like just putting sprinkles in your vanilla cake makes it a Funfetti cake. That's bold. No, it's I'm telling you the truth. I'm telling you fifty k this is This is the regular term for it. Listen, I did so much research on this. I'm just look it up.
00:41:44
Speaker
Use Google. Google's free. I talked to my baker mother. Okay. Does she professionally bake? ah She is amazing at all things that she does.
00:41:56
Speaker
um She's a professional seamstress. This is not about you. He's just trying to drag you down into this. It's a vanilla cupcake. You're wrong. yeah It's teaching tea time now.
00:42:08
Speaker
this this I feel like this was the This is going to shatter the entire podcast. The whole podcast is dead. but We are dead. our son We're moving on. All right. All
00:42:30
Speaker
Moving on. What have you been working on at Farm RPG this month, my man? Get into
Fun Debates and Game Challenges
00:42:34
Speaker
it. Let's go. Freaking angry right now. Get into it. so Get into it. So we definitely should have had the po password be something confetti.
00:42:44
Speaker
but No, too late it it's too late now. I know, but we should have. Anyway, moving on. He brought it back up. See, he can let it die, but he won't let it die. He just wants me to yell at him. And that's what he likes. He likes He keeps bringing it up over and over again, though knows my opinion. I have not brought it up since that day. I've never brought it up since faithful day. No, no, no, no. It was in my profile. You just did. You said, I don't know should go over it, but there's another line in there. Okay, dog.
00:43:13
Speaker
Okay, dog. Okay. That's all he said. He didn't go over it. He didn't bring it You brought it up. I said, you took the bait. I said, do not start. You took the bait because you're wrong. and admit you know you Admitted to baiting.
00:43:27
Speaker
Admitted to baiting. Not my fault that you took it. Okay. like secret baby Anyway, good. What have you working on this month? What have you been working on this month? Force path?
00:43:38
Speaker
No, I'm not talking. No, no. This is Nethi's turn. We have a guest here. but We didn't even let him argue with us. No, I know. Sorry, Nathie. It probably was. I'm scared of you guys.
00:43:51
Speaker
You should be. You should be. I'm scared of us too, buddy. You know, I'm honest, I haven't been
00:43:59
Speaker
um you know if i'm on this have Oh, and Farm RPG. You're higher tower level than me, so you've been working out a little bit. so I am, yes, but if you look at my inventory, I've got max apple ciders in my inventory. I've got max Arnold Palmers in my inventory.
00:44:22
Speaker
I've got max gold feathers. I'm just maxed out. It's lacking. I'm saying, though, i'm I'm at max on everything right now, too. So, you know, when I have time,
00:44:33
Speaker
When I'm feeling it, I'm working on the tower. Definitely. That's my priority. Working on the tower. i What I really need to be working on, though, is these cicada temples.
00:44:47
Speaker
I have nine stone fragments. Oh, man, you're slacking. Out of the 18 I need, I'm running out of time, you know? You've still got time. It's till the end of the month. that You can still do it. I'm scared.
00:44:59
Speaker
I'm terrified. Why? You think you're going to miss it? I'm not terrified, though. I'm just kidding. I'll get it done. Don't worry about it. You got it. I just got a click. That's all. I believe in you. but one of the things that is so admirable about Nethy is, one, no trade gang.
00:45:15
Speaker
Always impressive. But two, that man's a grinder. You know, if we can all just give him a little bit of support here, like a little mini farm RPG spirit bomb, right? A little Genki Dama, even.
00:45:26
Speaker
Yeah, ooh, that's fair. And just be like, hey man, it's time to grind and click. He's going to get after it. um believe in him. I believe in him. That's actually the only reason why I can't go up. I'm not locked by anything.
00:45:40
Speaker
I'm locked because this reward from this level is Arnold Palmer and Apple Cider, and I don't want to avoid them. Oh, yeah, valid. um man one of the biggest complaints I've gotten about the tower is that it's, quote unquote, too rewarding.
00:45:53
Speaker
And people are like, I can't climb because the rewards are. Well, it is. So this is the thing, okay? I'm stuck because the cicadas, you know what it rewards? Arnold Palmer's and Apple Ciders. I'm stuck there. I have enough shells to do the temple again, but I can't because I'm stuck. I'm locked. I just need to click. Farm RPG has given you the tools, right? I mean, you've got cabbage stew. You've lemon cream pie. i like You can burn through those clicks, my man.
00:46:19
Speaker
Like, burn. see i I could even give you a hint on why you should grind. Hmm. Look at... I mean, I think everybody would probably, um you know, benefit from this tip.
00:46:36
Speaker
Let me take a look here and see if there's something maybe people might be interested in grinding for no particular reason. We're getting spoilers, guys. Spoilers.
00:46:48
Speaker
I'm trying to set your your cap down to one, by the way, Nethi. I'm looking at it right now. i'm wondering if this... if i Oh, that's right. People are going to have to grind.
00:47:04
Speaker
Listen, if you were thinking about clicking something, you should consider maybe working on Acorn. Oh, okay. um I have a lot of Acorn Butter.
00:47:18
Speaker
i have 30,000 in my inventory right now.
00:47:24
Speaker
okay I've got 102,000 mastery progress. That's pretty good, huh? You might need. Okay, so because of beta, I can only get you down to three. Well, yeah, because it... it but Actually, I think three is far more unique.
00:47:42
Speaker
Yeah, there it is. It is three. I see it. It is three. Nice. There go. nice there you go Nice. Thank you, Boo Bun. That's awesome. You're welcome. Look at that. See, there's your reward for coming on and being our victim a second time.
00:47:57
Speaker
love it. Yeah. So you you're working on the tower, kind of, when you have the time. Have you finished DI Nuthie?
00:48:05
Speaker
No. I'm on 8. Wait, 5, 6, 7, 8. but five six only eight Yeah, 8. It's ready to complete. um The only reason why I can't complete it is because it rewards 5,000 apple cider.
00:48:19
Speaker
Why don't you just give it away in giveaways? you just It's not trading. It's just giving it away. Listen, I've heard word on the street that I need apple, or not apple, acorn butter.
00:48:32
Speaker
Oh, okay. so now now you're cool to use that. Yes. and And I've heard word on the street I need apple. ah Red Trunk Mega Mastery. i need Wizard Hat Mega Mastery. i Wizard Hat is insane. Let me see.
00:48:50
Speaker
Wizard. Okay, I have at least... Where is it? have that I don't even have that mastered, probably. Yeah, that's what I'm wondering, too. Let me see where I'm at with it.
00:49:03
Speaker
102,000. So I've got 90,000 left to go or 900,000 left to go. oh yeah. Rough. real Red trunk. Let's see where I'm at in red trunk. If can type it correctly.
00:49:18
Speaker
I'm only at 38,000.
00:49:21
Speaker
I need a million. Rough. I know. Same. So I got to get to clicking. Yeah. It's time to get clicky. but You know, i would say, Nethy, as a point of extra energy for you, ain't a whole lot of no trade gang up there at t three hundred and Maybe it's time for you to remind people who the king is.
00:49:40
Speaker
That's true. That's true. I know. I seem to remember you flying up the tower the last time. It's true. You did. Uh, I did, yeah. Yeah, you flew up.
00:49:51
Speaker
You flew up. So, you know. made it a little bit more difficult this time. This one made little more challenging. it is ah It's hard.
00:50:02
Speaker
I mean, there's no there's no real gimmies at the end there, especially with the wizard wizard hat. I think that's a tough one. It's a fun one to make. I feel like not many people have the wizard hat. ah Man, and I really wanted to do flower.
00:50:16
Speaker
And I wanted to do flour and I wanted do feed. But here's the thing, know, easy is in the eye of the beholder, right? I mean, like if you haven't been selling your flour or you haven't been getting rid of your food your feed, you're in a tough spot. And had a hard time.
00:50:38
Speaker
I had a hard time justifying internally the idea that someone hadn't been doing that and it might take them like literal months of being stuck on something that generates daily. So, you know, did i do did I really want to use it? Absolutely. But I just couldn't.
00:50:54
Speaker
Couldn't come up with a good reason why it was a good choice. so My flower mastery is 2.7 million. I know. You're you're youre are incredible. Jesus. It was just doable. I'm not saying that it isn't doable, but you know a newer player or someone that hadn't been working on it, would be it would be rough. And I didn't want to do that.
00:51:17
Speaker
I wanted to, but I did. what a good What a good guy. Thinking about the balance overall. It's my job. So what have you been working on then? Hey, thank you for asking. I've finished a couple more DIs.
00:51:33
Speaker
Working through that slowly, then the tower came out and reminded me that I had not been working on a treasure chests. So I've been kind of stuck because I can't really do anything because treasure chests take all of my wood, even with hickory running like all the time. And then I was gone. And so I'm still working on the tower.
00:51:52
Speaker
um yeah Everyone asks me like what my blockers are. And I'll be honest with you. I don't know. ah One of the things that I do personally I'm not someone that like focuses on MMs. I'm not someone that like looks at spoilers guides and figures I wrote the dang thing. I could not tell you like what the items are. I'm going to get stuck at various points. I had no idea about treasure chests. I'm sure there's another item on that list. I love that though. You made it and you still don't know what's coming up. like you just You made it and you're like, yeah, I don't know where I'm going to get stuck because i don't know what I've done. I just love that.
00:52:25
Speaker
But I feel like it's authentic. on like play your own It's a game, right? like i mean like And other people optimize, and I fully respect that. I got i got nothing against those people. It's just how I play.
00:52:35
Speaker
so I'm stuck on Treasure Chest right now. ah Looking forward to being done with that. I'm at 850,000. It's like a couple more days of just running hickories and selling stuff when I think about it.
00:52:50
Speaker
And then we'll be done with that and we'll be on to whatever is after treasure chest. So we've been working on those things. Obviously, getting the tower out was a big deal for me. I was really excited. i was really, really excited to bring the tower out.
00:53:03
Speaker
I know you were. And then Borgen's Treasure Hut, um I'm hoping that that'll come out in early August.
Previews and Reviews of Other Games
00:53:11
Speaker
I have no so guarantees, but I've really put a ton of time into that system, making it good.
00:53:21
Speaker
But, you know ah you know, didn't want to put it out too early, and we were kind of overloading the everyone right now. We don't want to fire host you guys with content. yeah That one's been in the pipeline for a bit.
00:53:36
Speaker
It has been, um and it's taken a lot of work, if I'm being honest with you. um there's There's just... um i don't know if other people will see it this way, but it it the way that I've been trying to do things is...
00:53:50
Speaker
you only get one chance at a first impression, right? If it's really, really bad, you know, ah people aren't just aren't going to like it. So really put a lot of time into into trying to make it good.
00:54:01
Speaker
ah You know, so i'm I'm hoping people see that. If they don't, you can DM me at Force Path and tell me where I missed the boat. um It was a team effort. I'm not the only one that worked on it, but I don't mind being the point of contact.
00:54:12
Speaker
That's all I'm trying to say. I'm not taking credit for other people's work. Lots of other um people have helped. Glory Hound, Force Path. We all know. How many times have I heard that? It's a joke. It's a joke. I know you're not.
00:54:26
Speaker
it's It was definitely a team effort. I i i watched. I watched the team work on it. Okay, and then what else was I going to... What else were you working on in FarmRPG?
00:54:38
Speaker
ah No, that's about it. ah The rest I can't talk about. I really want to make another adventure, though. Really badly. You're getting the itch. The itch to do another adventure. I'm getting the adventure itch again. But it's such a niche piece of content. Like, not a lot of people like it.
00:54:51
Speaker
ah So it's kind of hard to justify spending the amount of time it takes to make it. But I really want to make one. so I understand. I it's a lot of work, also. It is a lot of work. Anyways, that's all like I got. Booban, what have you been working on?
00:55:04
Speaker
Not much. I've been trying to do the tower a little bit. i i'm I'm really bad at masteries. I don't know. i think we've talked about this multiple times, but I don't like masteries and I hate doing them. So I got stuck on Garnet Rings, which I did finish because I only had like 100,000 to do. So I did them. And now, yes, I'm stuck on sturdy boxes and I don't even have that grand i don't even have that GM.
00:55:29
Speaker
Grand mastery, don't even have it. I'm at like 30,000. I got to...
00:55:33
Speaker
I tell you what, those bu ah from from a macro perspective, I don't mean to interrupt. It's so fascinating now that we've released the tower and watching the total mega mastery counts.
00:55:45
Speaker
Like, yeah now that everyone knows what they need, like, there was kind of like this, like, ah accordion out. And then, like, they're like like literally the way that the MMs worked when I was doing it, ah like, there were things that had, like, 7,000 MMs.
00:56:01
Speaker
And it went from 7,000 to 1,000 over the course of, like, six items. So you'd really see, like, where the effort kicked in and the people that really put time into it.
00:56:12
Speaker
And then like from like a thousand down to like 500 people was really short list. And they just dove off a cliff. Very fascinating ah to see kind of like how people play the game. And there were some preppers. We did have one guy get get it pretty quick.
00:56:28
Speaker
ah But was it wasn't immediate, though, which was not immediate. That's a shock. That's a shock. but um Maybe we should do gold potato mega mastery. Oh my God.
00:56:40
Speaker
That's, that's insane. Sorry. I just looked over at spoilers and they're all spamming gold potato counts. Oh God. Well, yeah. forty forty two one 42. Anyway, that, but yes, I've been trying to think about doing my masteries again.
00:56:54
Speaker
ah Again, I've had a very like just busy life in general lately. I'll just, and my personal life has been kind of hectic, so i haven't been playing a lot. Um, But yeah, I'm just going to try to blast out some Mega Masteries where I can.
00:57:11
Speaker
ah And maybe not be the last staff member to climb the tower this time. We'll see. We'll see. I'm doubtful, though. You will. fall You'll have time. Yeah, I know.
00:57:23
Speaker
but yeah What about on Cyanopharm? We got a couple minutes left. Should we talk about on Cyanopharm too? I have a lot to say. ah okay. Blueprints. Blueprints, dog. Blueprints. I watched some playthroughs of it. I didn't play it myself.
00:57:37
Speaker
but You should. It's so good. It's been ruined for me Like it's like a blue prince, like a like a crown prince, but it's blueprints. it It is a play on words because you are it's a roguelike where you are solving puzzles, but you are also like building rooms in a house to try to get to like this endpoint.
00:57:55
Speaker
But there's like a very involved, like missed level puzzle here. that you must solve to get through everything. And literally, me and Vinny have a notebook that's like, I don't know, about 25 pages of us like demon scrawl about how how to solve some of these puzzles. And like, because literally everything in this game is a clue to the overarching...
00:58:18
Speaker
story Interesting. It's bonko. We've got like 48 hours in it. It's like a little indie title. It's so good. I can't recommend it highly enough. If you like Myst. So good.
00:58:29
Speaker
If you like a Myst kind of game, will be very happy with it because I love a Myst kind of game. i like an unsolvable puzzle that you must like do weird things. like ah putting putting the pieces together sort of thing.
00:58:44
Speaker
ah so I watched a let's play of it. ah My one of my my own the only streamer that I watch these days played through it. So unfortunately, it's all been mostly spoiled for me other than the streams I didn't catch. So I'm not going to play it, but I can highly recommend it was really fun to watch someone else go through it.
00:59:04
Speaker
And the bonus part of let's play is as you go, that was so obvious and they miss it for 20 hours. So, you know, right so but no it's it's very good and that's literally i played that every night for an entire week you didn't tell me that are we not friends anymore no we're still friends i just uh you know i don't know why i didn't mention it i just don't talk about the games i'm playing ever i don't think i i ever mentioned what games i'm into at the moment but so i just don't talk about video games very often i think
00:59:34
Speaker
makes sense but you're ashamed of being a video gamer No, I love, i I mean, this whole room is Kirby themed. So like, no. I'm wearing a Jar Jar Binks shirt. Like, am I embarrassed of anything? No. of that No.
00:59:49
Speaker
So let's let's be real. but What have you been doing? What games have you been playing? What out of farm stuff have you been doing? Who are you addressing? Either one. Whoever wants to go first.
01:00:02
Speaker
Spider-Man pointing meme? I can go first. Oh yeah, go
01:00:07
Speaker
Let's see. What have I been playing? I know nothing's been playing. That's a tough one.
01:00:17
Speaker
It's a lot of Path of Exile. Since... ah As my wife calls it, PoE. What is it? Path of Exile. Path of Exile. It's like Diablo-like.
01:00:30
Speaker
Oh, that's a different one. um No, no, I'm not thinking arc. I'm thinking path of something else. Never mind. Ignore me. Okay. Done. Easily. Yeah, yeah done. Perfect. Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys.
01:00:43
Speaker
I've been playing that, and then I've been playing Elden Ring Night Reign sometimes, too. That one's fun. Great game. That's a fun one. Great game. I just picked up Death Stranding 2. Ooh, I would appreciate it so bad.
01:00:58
Speaker
I watched the Let's Play of that as well. been playing that just a little bit my wife likes to watch play that's cracked I love I love like the wacky stuff that dude does so like I want to play it pretty badly there's this one scene ah ah which I cannot spoil for anyone but I definitely had a a moment where my mouth was agape at what I was seeing while I was watching Death Stranding 2 so hopefully you guys get there and you know what I'm talking okay I think there's a probably a lot of that in there. Unfortunately. well unfortunately i' just It was near the end of the game.
01:01:30
Speaker
so Okay, okay, okay. I'm just a few hours in. so That's really about all I've been playing. What else have I been doing? Yeah, anything.
01:01:41
Speaker
In June, I went on vacation. I went to South Dakota. Ooh, fun. Saw Mount Rushmore. That's Was cool? I've never been there.
01:01:51
Speaker
was was was it cool um've never been there and That's the second time I've been there. It's pretty cool. I mean, it's just faces on a mountain, right? So it's as cool as it can be. yeah i mean, it is cool to see, but it's like you go there, you're like, okay, I saw it.
01:02:09
Speaker
Now time to go. you know what I mean? Yeah, it's like seeing any large like monument of any kind. You're just like, okay, cool. I've seen it now. yeah i and It's cool to see, but yeah yeah it's really one of those things that you kind of feel like you could just drive by, right? like Take a picture. yeah you know like ah Snap.
01:02:25
Speaker
been there I mean, it's... Do you have to pay for parking? I don't know. It might be free to go in. It's probably a national park, so it's probably free. Yeah, I think it's free to go in anyway, so might as well go in.
01:02:37
Speaker
and Fair enough. Fair enough. Well, that's cool. Very cool. Love to hear that. Force Path? Yes. been playing and or doing outside of RPG?
01:02:49
Speaker
I have been playing, surprise, surprise, Elen Ring Night Raid with Nethi. Oh my god, really? I know. It's almost like Nethi and I are homies. why So, Elen Ring Night Raid.
01:03:04
Speaker
This may also come as surprise if I'm playing Path of Exile. What? No idea. I could never have called that one. ah But the other game that I've been playing that I actually want to talk about is Expedition 33. Oh, yeah.
01:03:17
Speaker
oh yeah I heard that's really good. So I, um my wife and I, ah so my wife and I, every other night since the game released, but my wife,
01:03:29
Speaker
I have to do it. Anyways, um my wife and I haveve been playing it every other night since the game released and we beat it. again um What's that? I said I almost did it again. Don't do that.
01:03:41
Speaker
You distracted me. and I'm going to restart my sentence for the sixth time. Please, please, go ahead. Anyways, finally beat the game recently. ah And i have to say, guys, ah if Elden Ring didn't exist, this is my game of the 2020s. Like, it is unbelievable. what a a a An achievement of a studio of 30 people made this and unbelievable, so cool.
01:04:12
Speaker
I just absolutely loved it. Couldn't stop thinking about it. Loved the story. Loved the combat. Loved the music. Listened to the soundtrack when I went down to Gatlinburg for the 4th of July. like that's how much we enjoyed it. It's very French right here, isn't it? It's like a oui-oui-oui baguette sort of French. Yeah, so um one of the things that I called it was a final French-isy.
01:04:34
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear it's really sad, too, which I like sad stuff, so I'm going probably enjoy watching video it. I would say it's not not sad, but it's super introspective, right? Like, beyond just being quote-unquote sad.
01:04:47
Speaker
Like, there's a lot to think about, ah and i was just totally impressed. Anyone that plays RPGs should pick this game up. Invest the time in it. You will not be disappointed.
01:04:58
Speaker
uh just support indie developers first and foremost but second yes it's a damn good video game so other than that i've been i've been kind of relaxing i had so i worked really hard on farm rpg first part of june mid-june um i am rereading the I don't remember the name of the series. Pierce Brown series, the Red Rising series. There we go. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:05:27
Speaker
I've been doing some writing. I've been trying to exercise more. Just live in the dream. um that's my That's my story.
01:05:38
Speaker
i You know, UEFA, Women's UEFA Cup is on right now. so i love And I love soccer. Anyone that knows me knows love soccer. soccer So I've been keeping up with that. and You know, I just keep myself on sports, the sport sport ball, sports ball.
01:05:55
Speaker
Yeah, that's fun. Well, that's good. That's good. I think, ah you know, you have to have some fun in your off time. Not that Farm RPG isn't fun in my off time also. but Did I talk about Cauldron last time?
01:06:08
Speaker
Yes, I think we did. Oh, you did. pro and probably You know about it yeah no what? I didn't. Did i talk about Super Mario Mon last time? No. and Okay, that's the other game that I played.
01:06:18
Speaker
I'm sorry. I'm going to grandstand for like five more seconds. Okay, yeah, do it. Super Mario Mon is a Pokemon mod that of, I believe it's Emerald.
01:06:32
Speaker
ah and it substitutes Pokemon with Mario characters. So you are Mario, and then you use Mario characters like Goombas and Koopas and like Mario RPG 64 characters and all kinds of stuff. And it is a full-fledged 8-gym with a...
01:06:53
Speaker
you know whole thing Mario mod of Pokemon. Very cool. And ah i have been entranced with it. I played on my Steam Deck. Super impressive.
01:07:05
Speaker
I didn't know anything like this existed before. Those Pokemon mods that people make are insano. They make some really intricate stuff. If you are hankering for something really different, Super Mario Mon might be up your alley.
01:07:18
Speaker
ah Very cutesy. The writing is not terrible, which, you know, is a real plus in a Pokemon game. and And, you know, it's just different enough. Like, you know, like, um so I've been really intentional about not, like, looking up, like, what types everything is and what moves they get.
01:07:36
Speaker
like, you kind of feel like you're in that old school, like, you know, i encountered this monster and I really don't know their typing. So now I just have to like try a bunch of moves until I figure out what they are. And then I figure it out and by the next encounter. And it it actually feels kind of like that old school, like before you research it all.
01:07:55
Speaker
I really enjoy it. I like that. I like that when a new Pokemon game comes out too. Like if there's new Pokemon or whatever, um that's, that's bomb. Yeah. That's also another thing I did is I rolled credits on Pokemon Scarlet. pardon Because and the and the DLC because of the Switch 2. Thank you. so videos Now runs actually like smooth
Playful Exchanges and Conclusion
01:08:15
Speaker
butter.
01:08:15
Speaker
by the way, can you send me your Switch 2 so I can play Donkey Kong Bonanza and then I can send it back you? I will be playing that. But you guys were friends. I did too. evidently I mean, if maybe you lived in the neighborhood.
