00:04:00
Speaker
Was there a final count on the Ums? Yeah, there was. I i guess I didn't put it in the... There was some shenanigans about the Ums. ah certain a certain editor A certain editor thought maybe it would be funny to add some extra UMs into the conversation. And I won't mention any names, Belligan, but we're watching you. It was Belligan. You know what? Belligan's allowed. If Belligan wants to put more ums in, Belligan can do that. I will i will allow it.
00:04:34
Speaker
So it was 53 though, right? Was something like that? I think it was something like that. I didn't put the count in, um, because I'm an idiot. I just didn't do it. But yes, it was a lot. Um, it was enough to get us 375 gold in the pot. So let's see if we can't be, uh, higher than last week or last month, excuse

No, I don't know if I could do every week, but You know, if we get 2000 comments, you could see me every week. Say I'm a lot. Yeah, say I'm a lot. Hash notes. Let's talk about the patch notes, yo. No, no, no, no, no. Let's let's continue. We got to keep this we got to keep this ship running, chugging through the water here. Fair enough. Fair enough.
00:05:28
Speaker
Continue on, OY's leader. Oh my goodness. So I'm okay. So what do we miss since last month? Holy cow, a lot. Oh, so much. The birthday happened. We had the big birthday event. The pinata. The pinata. How many people thought that the pinata was smiling, but it was actually very sad and they missed it. It was very sad. I made it really upset on purpose so people would feel bad when they hit it, but it was really fun to hit. So I'm not gonna lie, I didn't feel guilty. I didn't feel guilty. I hit that thing every day. Listen, I drew it. I I beat the hell out of that thing. Who cares? It's it's just a couple of pixels. But it was cool. It was fun. matt It was fun. i had
00:06:15
Speaker
like but What did we have? We had some of the biggest participation that we ever had. Later on in the patch notes, you see Firestream put a bunch of our records in there, right? We had a record number of players who made a community center, chores, Buddy Jack, number of trades. number of vault attempts. Like it was a big month for Farm RPG in terms of like daily participation. So for all of you out there listening, thank you for playing. It was really cool. and It may was just popping off nonstop just popping. But you know,
00:06:51
Speaker
June seems like it's gonna be also another, you know, fun time. Are you gonna skip over the rest of May? You're just gonna jump into June? Oh my god. Unbelievable. ah Go ahead, continue. we what else happened in What else happened in May? Listen, so we had the Quick Give perk go into beta, right? So if you are subscribed to beta now, you can check out the Quick Give perk. That happened on May 29th. Oh, yeah, I forgot about right that. Right. That's good. And we also ah we also brought truffles out and then we've done a little bit with truffles since then. We're working on a little bit more tracking for that. and So that was pretty sweet. Didn't we feel like something else happened in May? Oh, we had no, we had the carved items.
00:07:39
Speaker
The carved items. Who cares about the quest? Who cares about the quest? Your big old quest dropped. Come on. Can we do that? PSA. Hide. PSA. Hide. Oh my god. Though that's triggering for him. Be careful. He does not like that. I don't know about that. I think I've come to accept that people will hide quests. I accept it. It still makes me sad and my heart breaks a little bit inside. and happens. You listen, if you got to hide PSA, you got to hide PSA. I don't think I've hidden it yet. It's, it's no, it's just sitting there. It's the, it's the 5 trillion gold really. That's, that's stopping me. I'm trying gold. I'm really hoping you're speaking. yeah I've really misbalanced this
Community Appreciation and Personal Styles
00:08:25
Speaker
quest. Oh, no, it's silver. Excuse me. and be is a lot of um Maybe we'll have a lot of bombs and you can get 5 trillion gold.
00:08:34
Speaker
I feel like that would and destroy the economy. The economy. The um economy, yeah. Anyways, moving to June. Yeah, we had carved animals. Those were fun. Oh, they're so cute. And I believe the one and only Boo-Bun drew them. Oh, yeah. That is true. I did. i drew I tried to make them fit the old carved animals. They look a little more detailed. We love a carved animal out here. so But yeah, June, let's go into June, we've got, you know, it's, it's a beachy month. We're in summer now. We're having this, we have a beachy theme happening with all of everything that's going on. We've got new mailboxes. We got that cool supply voucher that will give you 50% off. your next some Up to 200 gold, maximum 200 gold. So, you know, you can't get one of the really big ones, but you know, but it doesn't work on your mailbox. It does work on the mailbox.
00:09:30
Speaker
So that's pretty good. Mailbox is like, you know, if you've gotten them a lot of upgrades for that. It's certainly not bad. so tell you yeah it is a healthy It's a healthy. It's a healthy discount. 200 gold's a lot. There's an um. So I didn't know that it worked on mailbox, so I'll... um You didn't? It's anything in that area. Oh yes, join the Umm Club. She's got the Umm's going on. I didn't think we were going to get any Umm's out of you, honestly. I need some filler words. You know, some of us weren't really prepared to show up. that You know, it's interesting, I did wonder about your hair. It is... I have questions.
00:10:18
Speaker
Just to fill everybody in, so there's no insight. We were supposed to have RKM on an RKM, I guess, is a little busy or so something happened. I'm not sure. um He could be dead in a ditch. I'm not sure where RK is, but did not show up. It's been dark. I'm from the North. We're just joking. We just joke. This is a joke. We don't know where He could be anywhere. Anyway, Katie and blink twice if you need help. Yes. Anybody blink twice if you need help.
00:10:52
Speaker
But we, we called a quick sub in and Katie and was going to
Kit's Gaming Journey and Moderation Role
00:10:56
Speaker

Extremely short notice, like 15 minutes. the I didn't even in have cor perfectly for, you know, I just noticed. like I'm stunning at all times. Oh, Lord. What have I signed up for? Excuse me. You know exactly what you signed up for. No, I never feel like I know that. I never feel like I know that. Chat, I'm blinking twice. are you You're blinking more than twice, actually. So yeah, it's like multiple two blinks. Something's wrong. Someone calls for help.
00:11:40
Speaker
Anyway, June updates. Just so you know, there is gonna be another event this month. It's focusing mostly on friendship. It's a friendship-y one. It's like- The power of friendship. The power of friendship. And also there's the ball. If this comes out, yeah, it will come out still in June. So the ball will still be around. The beach ball. Pass that beach ball around and get some free items and you can hit it to somebody random. It's cool. It's a beach ball. It might show up on your homepage if you're signed online. you guys kind want to well I don't want to start any rumors, but I heard it doesn't exist. Have you gotten it? Three times. why Five times already. So like, okay, so the beach ball doesn't exist.
00:12:23
Speaker
Is that because we're terminally online, guys? like Do we maybe have a problem? Yes. okay Listen, Steph was talking about what their their logged hours on their app was, and they were all like, I was 12 hours over the last two days. Listen, mine's got like 48 hours in the last like, you know, 49 hours. Yes, it's like on all the time. I just have it on my iPad constantly, constantly. I'm on all the time during the day and then I pop in in the evenings. I try not to be on for more than 10 hours a day. I'm going to look at my screen time right now and I'm going to tell you what the time frame is just for this app. Farm RPG, I have 39 hours and 39 minutes logged since Sunday.
00:13:19
Speaker
with the game open on my iPad. That's getting your face for those that can't see your face shows genuine concern right now. Yeah, he's worried about me. or's Or it's depression because she pulled up her own and was like, Oh, mine's three times that I haven't should I look I don't want to look don't look Don't be like me. don Don't know. don't See, I use heres day release Web, so I can never use mobile, so I can't track it. very Daily average. Intentionally, seven hours and 55 minutes is far more just on my iPad. but That doesn't conclude my phone. So like it's open the entire time I'm at work, basically. It's insane. Anyway, that's that's that's the patch notes.
00:14:08
Speaker
but that's why there's ah So there's a mini event coming in the place. anymore So I don't know when this is going to be released. I'm hoping we'll get this out either this weekend or Monday, but June 19th through the 22nd, we will be doing a mini event again, focusing on friendship XP. So that should be cool. um A couple things. It's just gonna be fun. It's gonna be a good time. It's gonna be good. Isn't it like 19%? Yes, 19%. Strangest number all time. Is it though? 19th. Because it's Juneteenth. Is Juneteenth? Oh, is that why? Yeah. Okay, that makes sense. Mm hmm. Sometimes you just got to read in the subtext there. I know everything's gonna be... No, that that's... That's more work than I'm willing to put in. It's a national holiday. It's a national holiday. I have the day off.
00:15:05
Speaker
You have the day off? Yeah, I get the day off. It's a national holiday. I don't. I don't. Awesome. I don't have the day off. I don't get the day off. PTO, baby. Firestring wants me to the bone, man. Oh, God, that that I will probably be working that I'll be on, but I will not be on day job. Day job. No. Are we allowed to flip our day jobs off like on the podcast or is that violating the COC? Yeah. Do I just have to put something in the square jar? Yes, yeah it's fine. Go to the square jar, but you know, it's fine. You can flip it off. You so you know, you're gonna if you're going to flip off the camera, though, you're going to have to let the editor know.
00:15:49
Speaker
so that they can, so that they can put like a buddy face the blur and yeah put buddy's face over over my middle finger. Dude, actually, I kind of want to do that now. I'll talk to her. I'll talk to our video editor about it. Okay. So wave your hand around. Kitty and Kitty and since you are here. Yeah. yeah It's time. it ah video Let's get to our p we're gonna grill you. We're gonna put you on blast.
00:16:22
Speaker
So tell us, tell us a little about yourself. Where's your name from? Where did you get your name? What's your your your farm RPG username? What's it stand for? Are you just a cat lover? I am a creepy cat lady. Yes. But I currently actually have no cat. um no My only cat is dead. And I can't replace her, so also possibly I'm at the maximum number of living creatures for my home. In humans, not in animals. There's only one animal in my house. My youngest kid. Are humans not animals? And I don't know. So my childhood nickname is kitten and
00:17:11
Speaker
um This name that I've had since forever and ever is my mom somehow very, very poorly texting kitten. And it started out as this like tongue in cheek joke between myself and my younger brother. And then it just became the thing that everybody always typed. And then it became me. It's your name. It became me. Very cool. Here I am. It's you, the kidney. I love that that. It's actually a very nice story, other than the dead animal part. It's all part of the great circle of life. yeah no All men must die, unfortunately. yeah Nobody makes it out alive. Not even cats. not No, not even cats. This took a dark turn. My cat's on a shelf and the in the other room. So I get you. I also have a dead cat in my house.
00:18:11
Speaker
they My cat is right there and right there. So they are, they are have two places at once. Well, I have two of them, but I use the singular for cat because grammar doesn't matter on this podcast. They reproduce by budding, actually. So it's the same cat. It's just a butted off version. and It's a sprout. Yeah, it's sprouted off. drop with a a new panro shout Shout out to the player that asked me for what was it? A seed potato every day for like half a year. It was seed potato. I think their name was seed potato. Their their name now is Babaldab. Oh, Babaldab. Okay. I believe they're from down under if I recall correctly, but they really let me have it about that one, even though I had nothing to do with it.
00:19:03
Speaker
Yeah, it is your fault. Literally everything in Farm RPG, if it's wrong, it's your fault. is legitimate play false i would know I would accept that blame unwillingly. So, Gideon, tell us a little bit about yourself. I know that you've been working very hard on a few things for Farm RPG that are going to be coming into effect soon. So inside about you and your and your, you know, your existence. I have tiny humans that I keep alive. One dog that I keep alive. Some words that I use a lot in my lawyer life, lawyer, lawyer life and lots of corn that I grow on my farm life. Kind of
00:19:53
Speaker
like 10 zillion hobbies. I'm like a really bad hyper fixator. So every craft on earth. Like right now, I'm definitely in like my cricket t shirt making era. There's lots of stuff that is all over the place. There's lots of infusible ink all around. Yes, there's another cricket user. Yeah, i I know that she's talked to me about her cricket use before. So a lot of crafty people on staff, tons of crafting, lots of it.
00:20:27
Speaker
I'm keeping my daughter to play the piano. That's a nice summer activity. Yeah, I'm waiting for it to break bad, but so far so good. And it will break bad eventually, it will. Yeah, it will. It definitely will at some point. But so far, I'm teaching myself to play the guitar. All right, musical. I'm bad at it. I'm terrible at it. and I can like, that or no, and and it like doesn't go along with playing the piano because you have to have these calluses on the tip of your fingers to play the guitar and to play the piano, you need to feel the keys. And if your fingers are numb from growing calluses, you can't feel the keys, right? So it is kind of a tough until I'm
00:21:23
Speaker
It's a little better now because I've been playing for a while, but it starts to get um really touch and go. the Yeah. As a fellow guitar player, I can relate. But also, can we talk about the fact that I didn't know as pre pronounced cricket until like two or three months ago. Like I thought it was cry cut okay because like it's not super clear based on how it's spelled. And I find that really frustrating. Like it was in charge of marketing here because like at least farm RPG, I know it's farm RPG, but cry cut, right? That's like how it's pronounced.
Moderator Insights and Game Mechanics
00:22:05
Speaker
Cry cut. Yeah. And it it does that thing. It cuts. Well, exactly. You would think. anyways One would think.
00:22:15
Speaker
I don't think it would be, ah you know, it would be cry cut. But listen, I'm just saying, I'm just saying it makes no sense. And I'd like to speak to the manager. But on a more personal note, maybe it would be more interesting to hear more about Gideon. Tell us about like your favorite part of you being on the mod team. like Tell us a little bit about what it's like. You're the newest batch of moderators, right? like You've kind of been thrown we are into this world of moderating farm RPG. What do you like about it? Tell us about your experience. It is sort of difficult to remember playing before I was modding now because I think it's been almost the same length of time.
00:23:04
Speaker
But you were a pretty new player when we brought you in. You went to Koala Courtney. We're pretty new when we like... We both started the same month. Yeah, so in July, right? July, yeah. And so, it I don't know. It's a weird thing to think about because I didn't really play that long before becoming part of the mod team. So, And ah most of the game, I would say, I played post being mod, more like actual gameplay, because so much more content came out after I was on staff. So a big chunk of like the real work, farm work that I've done was done afterwards and kind of in conjunction with, I don't know,
00:24:02
Speaker
being on staff. so Right. So playing the game is being staffed for you, basically. Yeah. Right. Yeah. yeah I get to really get that. Same girl. Same Same. It becomes that that game it's like the metagame of farm RPG when you're on the mod team is the the the moderation portion is kind of the game. right That's just, that is the game. Yeah, it can be some days, right? I mean, it can be more the game than the actual game. but I totally get that. So you have been on the Mon team now for six months. Do you have a favorite part of being a Mon?
00:24:42
Speaker
and
00:24:45
Speaker
This is a cheesy answer, but definitely you people oh on the staff. is the very best part. It is I but feel like I have to sit up straighter. So interesting. Yeah, to hear everybody's perspectives about things, not just in the game, but just in general. And everyone's so funny. what it
00:25:16
Speaker
that is there'smates on staff I feel like being a moderator means you have to have like a pretty decent sense of humor or you're just going to burn out really hard. True. Probably so. You gotta have you gotta to have the yolks collapse. You can't yuck it off sometimes. that's That's really cool. I appreciate you sharing. That's very nice, by the way. All the mod team. Good job, mods. We appreciate you. Good job, mod team. We do have a very good like cohesive team at the moment. so yeah you know Everybody works very well together. It's nice. We have a good we have a good group. um and So, you know, and we can loop this into who is your favorite mod. Let's go right for it. The hard-hitting mod questions. so We have to get the the two hard-hitting mods.
00:26:06
Speaker
You've who's your favorite? Who's your favorite? you Definitely stressed because I'm scared that if I don't say stress he's gonna find me that somehow. And then nerf something on my farm. So, absolutely 100% stressed. Stressed is your favorite. Okay, that's an interesting choice. And you're not stressed about it. Interesting choice. No, not at all. Very interesting choice. Okay, who's your least favorite then? If stressed is your favorite, stressed is always the answer that I'm like, that's gotta be your least favorite, it's gotta be stressed. But if that's your most favorite, who's your least favorite?
00:26:44
Speaker
Absolutely. 100% no question. Koala corgi. Yeah. yeah yeah i was I was like so prepared for it to be me, but I mean, Koala corgi also makes sense. No, I love koalas. They're precious and delicate creatures that need to be cared for and protected from the earth because they might get damaged. Their wisdom teeth might come out. They might choke on some eucalyptus. You don't know what's going to happen to them. Have a long rant about not eating fish. Why is this your least favorite mod? We need to take care of them. Then... What? We said this is your least favorite mod and you're praising. You've done nothing but praise. No, it's just I'm always so worried about his welfare. Oh, well. You know? That makes sense. That doesn't make sense.
00:27:42
Speaker
he's a but He's also the punching bag, so you can say he's the least favorite. It's true. He is the most lovably easy to bully. that Yeah. We push him in a locker like every day. You know what? in that Speaking of, I think I need to go give him a chat ban real quick. Just a quick little ban. No problem. All right. Taking care of. Thank you for that reminder. He needed it.
00:28:09
Speaker
Sorry, I'm sorry. but but No, you're not sorry. don't You're not sorry. even So we have some ah rapid fire questions about the game ah for you. So number one, what's your favorite library page?
00:28:27
Speaker
I don't know. I don't read the library. Okay. So the answer is none. That's perfectly valid. i've I never I actually didn't click anything in the library until I met Koala Korgi. Oh wow. I'm not kidding. I never looked at anything in the library like the whole time I was like going through like the leveling up and the tower and all. I never looked at any of it. ballad Totally valid, totally valid. I love that, I love that. I did kind of like, you know, did whatever like fusion chat would suggest, and I'm like, oh that sounds fun. I would do it until I got tired of it, and then I would stop and do something else. That's a good way to be, honestly. I feel like that's actually wonderful, and I'm so glad to hear people say that, because sometimes like,
00:29:19
Speaker
you know some of the things feedback that we hear is like people are like I'm you know the library tells you the best way to play and how to do something how to do something right and it's always refreshing to hear people say like oh I didn't look at that at all I just i just sort of did but I found fun and sometimes it's really easy especially if you've been playing farm RPG for a long time to to remember the game's supposed to be fun right like it's here too for enjoyment hey watching you too um but it watching you too. ah But seriously, it's fun, right? and the posts like beat you down Well, I mean, that's what the quests are for. But um that's true. that's true that's true
00:30:02
Speaker
True facts. True facts. So anyways, that's really cool. I love hearing that perspective. ah So if you are listening, you don't use the library, don't feel bad. Gideon was one of the fastest people to complete one of the hardest quests in the game. Like in terms of like timeframe. um like Also, it's like, are you 250? Are you T250 already? Or no, I used to? Yeah. Yeah. Being called a Corgi, who is just terrible at farm RPG. Who sucks at farm RPG. Yeah. Really, really bad. Yeah. Like one of the worst players. Correct. and or Correct. But he's very helpful. very early Yeah, I don't know how he can be helpful, though. He's so bad at the game.
00:30:45
Speaker
It's true. yeah Take all his advice with a grain of salt. That is Koala after this episode. ah We don't mean it, Koala Corgi. We do not mean it. We love you. You know we love you. It's just a joke. Okay, but we all know that he kind of likes it. He likes it. He kind of likes it. It's just like his thing. He likes it. It's fine. but
00:31:07
Speaker
Anyway, more in-game questions here, like about the game. What is your favorite in-game chat? which where Where do you hang out? yeah where we find you in ph rpg Oh, giveaways? So it was like I started out in giveaways and then I kind of like wandered over to like spoilers for a while. But then I came back to giveaways and I like love giveaways again. Although lately I have been popping into help chat. fairly often and offering some chaotic advice, which I feel like Koala, Korgie, and RKM maybe don't they i like encourage that much. Yeah, that's their realm. That's their zone. I was there and noticed there were no no there was nobody else offering any meaningful advice, so I started giving some like chaos advice. And then all of a sudden, Koala, Korgie, and RKM were like, who let the cat in to help chat?
00:32:03
Speaker
Who left the cat door open? Why is she here? I was like, why is she here? I'm curious, does that mean we should, like maybe we should have like a day where we all just kind of like roll in to help chat and offer the most chaotically helpful advice? That actually sounds like something I would enjoy. That's something that you would enjoy. For me, I would go in there and people would ask me questions and I don't know the answer because I really stink at this game. So are you worse than Koala Corgi? I'm way worse than Koala Corgi. Wait, are you T250? I'm T250, yes. Well, then you're fine. But here's the thing. I've been playing the game like two years longer than that guy. And it was like maybe last month that I got T250. So like, listen, he is he is marginally worse than me. I still suck at this game. I still have that.
00:32:54
Speaker
He's marginally worse. He's very efficient, though, because what happens is that he has planned ahead for the eventual things that might happen. Like his efficiency in in mastering things. I'm like, Oh, I opened 3000 large chest ones. Yeah, that's great. That's my level. I avoid everything. I don't see if it gets a done if it makes you feel better. Those are the people I love to punish the ones that are like, I've planned for everything. And the first thing I'm thinking of is how can I make sure they didn't actually plan for everything?
00:33:41
Speaker
Cause like, people that don't plan, they don't care. They're like, ah there's a quest that asks for 60,000, you know, pie pans, right? Like, okay. But the planners, they're like, all right, I got to use my Arnold Palmer's right here. And I got to use them right here. And I got to get into a trade chat to do this. And I got to do this efficiently. I can't use Apple cider except on Tuesday, the day right before an event happens. And you're just like, holy, holy. I mean, like those are the people that I'm coming after. So Casey, you're on my list. yeah what is going to get you When the post 200 tower floors came out, I didn't even have iron cup. I just stopped. I guess I didn't it that i don't remember. I think I got stopped at like tower 208 or something. Like there was some random thing that I was like, Oh yeah, I never got around to doing that. Like oh had um every fish.
00:34:37
Speaker
every almost every fish mega mastered because like I was like fishing. Yeah, that's easy.
00:34:47
Speaker
I love that. I love that so much the whole game. Okay. but So what ah I'm just very curious then, like you've been playing for a year. Do you have a favorite item in Farm RPG? like like ah Okay, well this doesn't really feel like a fair question. Have you met me? Sorry. I'm just now realizing that this question was geared for a different person and I already know the answer to your question. yeah So can you give a non-acorn answer to this question? but What's your second favorite? What's your second favorite? Oh, a non acorn answer. Okay. That includes acorn butter. All right. Geez.
00:35:28
Speaker
I really like to think of that. Okay. That's an right there. Yeah, I really like the pocket watch. And also of the new ones, I obviously there is a carved kit, a carved kitten and I really love that. din isa curve cat in a new So like I feel like it doesn't really count yet. because Also, I'm not sure what it's for besides like looking adorable, which is What representative of me? What am I? What am I doing? I don't know. But I look at her hair.
00:36:06
Speaker
I mean, that is some stunning hair out there. It's totally pulling it off. yeah But you know what time I think it might be might be time for you to pick your password, your secret password. So here it is the password type. So did you have you thought about it at all? What you want your secret password to be?
00:36:29
Speaker
Do you want us to like vamp for you for a minute while you think about it? Because I yeah i i can vamp. Okay, make up some stuff. All right, cool so we're gonna vamp right now. And that includes me just like randomly saying hi to everyone. So everyone listening to this podcast, like you're wonderful people. And we're so very grateful that you play farm RPG and you go the extra mile to listen to our podcast. I agree. It's just It's totally an awesome and overwhelming experience to be a part of a community like this. like And we love you. And we love our community. And even the people that sometimes maybe cause us a little more heartache and heartburn than we want to admit. We love those people too. We love you also. Like some quality. You know, you got to take it where you get it.
00:37:19
Speaker
So if this hasn't already been made clear, I'm very easily distracted. So oh you have been paying attention helpful to me. OK, so I know I haven't been paying attention, but also in a way that is very revelatory of my thought process. I would like my password to be. Pollen. All right. okay And am I to assume that the item you would like to be in the password is in fact two acorns? Correct. And it is because I have to follow this. You have to follow my line of thought here. Okay. Pollen comes from oak trees. Oak trees produce acorns. but her And if you're listening, please send those acorns
00:38:11
Speaker
like so um two and yeah all right back to kitia and one door So make sure she gets her acorns. She will be counting. my cut yeah At least one of the two. She needs one. all right The password is live and active. so One for her and one for you. but sorry It's a friendship acorn. It's a friendship acorn. Hey, which is the demon June. yeah it's The Yeah, it's like a friendship theme. We're good. I'm loving it. I'm loving it.
00:38:46
Speaker
Another thing I don't think we talked about, and I wanted to bring it up because you spearheaded this, is the new Code of Conduct that's coming out. I know that it's not out yet, it's coming out. I'm putting this out there for the ah podcast listeners to know. you might It might be out by the time this is out because I think it's coming soon. But there's a new Code of Conduct and it's completely written by your girl right here, Kitty-Ann. Kitty-Ann wrote that for us. So, and if you think it sounds like a lawyer wrote this, yeah, a lawyer did write it. So, um, shout out to Ken here who did some great work on that. It's, it's way clearer than it was. It's like been cleaned up a lot, a lot, a lot. it did I took out all the repeated words. It's okay. There were repeated words? What? There were repeated, repeated words.
00:39:42
Speaker
um Oh man, that code of conduct is ancient too, so we're very grateful for
Game Strategies and Player Approaches
00:39:48
Speaker
that. I mean that i made it all one one font. That's true. This is crazy. This is crazy. Beautiful. Well, she does hear anything is there anything specific about the code of the new document that you know people either may have seen like as this comes out or will see that you're particularly excited about or something that you feel like Maybe people who are listening might want some insight on. It's got citation numbers.
00:40:18
Speaker
o
00:40:22
Speaker
That's just only I like that, I guess. I don't know. It's good because you can point something to the actual section of the code of conduct when they're breaking it. want help so Section
00:40:34
Speaker
Wait, can we say pursuing in our moderator actions? Because I don't do that. Pursuant, huh? I do. Oh, wow. I don't know. It sounds very official, though. I think most of them mine are not quite official enough. So. Like, hey, bro, like, you're doing this. Can we just, please, can we stop doing this now? Please stop. Why you being so mean? like hey by yeah why do Why you do this? but The title of my mod action is why you do this.
00:41:11
Speaker

00:41:14
Speaker
Or name change request. That's like 99% of mine, our name change request. Those names, man. Yeah, you know, sometimes they're really funny. So I will give everybody that. Sometimes I do change your name and I am laughing. People are really funny, but sometimes you just have picked the wrong venue to be funny. Yeah, yeah, that's true. and Even if it's not appropriate, we just we want you to know you still funny. You made us laugh. We just can't. We do. We do have a we do have a list of like bad names that we think are funny, but
00:41:50
Speaker
and we that We definitely can't share. We never can share out with you because they're they are really bad. but so we do have a We do have a names list too, right? like if We have a bad egg replacement list also, yeah which is if you won't change your name, we will give you one off of our list of names that we've made up. Oh my god, there's so many. I think Pretty Pretty Princess is still available. That's a good one. That's a good one. I love that one here. What was the coffee one? It was like two sugars, two creams or something. Oh yeah, two sugars, two dough. It was like, yeah, two sugars, two creams or something like that. Oh, where's it?
00:42:30
Speaker
So here it is, bad egg replacements. um We have pretty pony sparkles, scruffy dogs, scrambled eggs, Daredevil Dan. I love Daredevil Dan. Ooh, that's a good one. Yeah. You know, we're saying these all out loud. They're going to get taken. Like people are going to NCR these. No, hey. No, don't do that. I can't give you guys any more. If you want one of these, ah You want a random name? You can hit me up and I'll give you a random name. Oh, that's wonderful. That's a great idea. Hey, if you do want a random name and boob on sound around, feel free to message me. I will also give you a random sparkly name.
00:43:05
Speaker
That sounds like a lot of fun. That'll be a good time. It really are. There's some really good ones on there. And we would love to see people use them. So we don't really get a lot of bad eggs that won't change their name. Every it only happens every once in a while. So very well. Yeah. Just, you know, very randomly it happens. Do we want to move on to? Yeah. And is there anything else you wanted to say about yourself or the game or anything before we maybe like move on to tea time? This is your chance to to shine. I mean, like your hair is shining right now. oh like Beautiful coiffed hair, follicles. The follicles are coiffed. I always look like this when I'm playing my text-based agricultural game. She's fully to the nines while she's playing farm RPG. Batting her eyelashes.
00:44:01
Speaker
I'm just here to remind people that it does not matter in what order or how you do things. You could still get everything accomplished if you want to or don't. It doesn't matter. I occasionally will distribute the advice that I forgot about the passive sawmill masteries until after T100. Yeah. So I I did, I think I did acorn butter like before 150.
00:44:37
Speaker
but So I, sweet I did, I definitely did corn husk dolls before pam rat. Oh, we're gonna regret that. I'm sorry. No, that's a great choice. What? I'm done pam rat dude. anyways bola Moving on. Well, a little bit of tea time. Tea time. Hey, we spilled a little tea right there at the end. That was a little bit of tea. So, Forest Path, what are you working on in game? What are you doing right now? Bro.
00:45:15
Speaker
ah
00:45:17
Speaker
So, um i are we are we talking about like what I'm actually like doing for development or for like the actual like playing of Farm RPG? I'm sorry. 4K no loose dose. Oh, okay, sure. um you farmmarke itself what i said um' a In The rules don't apply to me. I didn't hear that. that you that You mumbled? Go ahead. What I said English only in chat, please oh Yeah, kill me i I know listen then the rules don't apply to me rules. Did you apply to you? yeah
00:45:54
Speaker
You can't even ban me anymore. No, I can't ban you anymore. What are you working on? Tell me what you're working on. Anyways, ah so we did release a new quest, PSA. I have not prepared for it at all. Oh, don't throw me face. um you wrote it and You wrote it. I feel like a little insight into the old force path here. When I write quests, I don't prepare for them. like i Find out about them like in game the same time everyone else does and the walls are my walls typically I mean like
00:46:28
Speaker
I only had like 300 lima beans as an example. So I've been grinding lima beans out and I was a little short on silver. I was just a little bummed about it because I really wanted to get my 10 trillion silver upgrade for my storehouse because I did flexible spending first because I have, I just thought it would be fun to do that. So. i hide yeah but but That one's hidden from me too. ah So I'm mostly working on PSA right now. I've also been extremely busy in real life. So I have not had as much time to devote to getting stuff done in farm RPG. Like I was voiding nets for a day and a half or something like that, maybe two days. What are you talking about? Luna voids nets. Get out of
Personal Gaming Experiences and Challenges
00:47:16
Speaker
here. um no Oh, my God. She like goes out of her way to not void her antlers. and Sure.
00:47:23
Speaker
Wow, we're just fighting nets now. We got it right here from from the forest paths mouth. The tea time, the tea time. pe tide It is the tea. yeah So yeah, I've been really, really busy um for farm RPG. I can't tell you what I'm working on right now as an element. So but I can tell you next week ah we are having some dedicated time to work on a specific thing. We do have a big thing that we're hoping to do in July that won't be I don't believe it will be super endgame. I think it will be more focused on those of you who are in the early tower. um But I think all people will like it, even if you are at the endgame. I think everyone will find something to enjoy.
00:48:07
Speaker
but So that should be a lot of fun. I can't say any more because I don't know when we're going to bring it out. But there is something cooking in the background there. There's a lot cooking. There's a lot of irons in the fire. Irons are in the fire. And as I've said multiple times, that used to be the name of my chat for the admins was too many irons in the fire. because that was our life and still is. It still is. It really still is. So there we go. Gideon, what are you working on? What are you working on, Gideon? What are you doing, girl? In in the farm? in the farm
00:48:43
Speaker
in i I put PSA on pause because i need to I need to collect lima beans and geckos and stuff. So I figured in the meantime, I might as well do some other things. So I went back to my acorn home for a while. And I'm working on that a little bit, but um I'm mainly doing a rotation. ah
00:49:15
Speaker
that's going lima beans, geckos, and then the desert so that I can do power monitors. Power monitors are a fun one. Very underutilized in Quest 2, wouldn't you guys say? I have to do something with the power monitors, so I had to make a choice between engines and flying machines.
00:49:39
Speaker
Okay.
00:49:43
Speaker
you're doing fine machine machine machine yeah choice but is um More insane than engine. So I figured, why not? Why not? Brings keep making me very angry. Yeah, but that's okay because I have to be in the gecko land anyway. Give me the spring boxes. Where are these boxes? Yeah, you can get them all at the same time. You're poor phone.
Life Updates and Personal Interests
00:50:12
Speaker
Do you hate your phone that hard? Or you just like, I do. Oh my God. When I'm angry, I'm like, she's, she's violently. Yeah. I was just so to just open up so many. I mean, just void the spring. Sue needs them.
00:50:28
Speaker
Yeah, for real. I do. Gasp. A sharp gasp. Hey, what are you working on, Buban? Nothing. Actually, I am not working on anything. I should be working on PSA, but I am not right yet. I need to get some lima beans and I need to get some silver. So it's really just throwing nets. It's throwing nets at Glacier ah so that I can make money selling the fishies. And that's what I'm doing. I'm going to get The thing about me is I will click wildly for like a full day and get all those lima beans and not have to think about it. I i still need like 800 or so. So right now, you know, I'll get there. But that that's going to be just like me going crazy one day to get the rest of those. There's another God.
00:51:19
Speaker
Oh, there've been plenty. I'm sure. i'm i have an um I'm not keeping track. I'm not like pointing them out because I don't care. It's fine. We got to feed the people. So but that's really what I'm working on. It's just PSA in the background of everything else, just and my everyday. I'm doing my dailies. I'm helping Vinny because he's, um what is he working on right now? I actually wrote them down. What is he working on? Oh, I had to help him pass. This is funny. He didn't want to go back and reread the notary quest. So he I had to help him go through the, he read it.
00:52:00
Speaker
But he didn't want to go back and have to like reference it when he was doing the quiz. He's just like, I keep failing that quiz. I failed it like for a full week. yeah for All the answers are in the quest text. I know PSA for all of you who are playing farm RPG and have the notary quest. All the answers are right there. We did it on purpose. I did that on purpose. I gave him the answers because he was so frustrated by the end because he kept messing up.
00:52:31
Speaker
But he's working on unexpected visitor and strange companions right now. Oh man. I need to have a conversation with that man. um'm going I'm going after him. Get him. I'm going after him. Get him. He's gonna be mad that I told you, but that's okay. He's like... You didn't just tell me you told everyone. I told everybody. It's okay. It's fine. Do people listen to this? It's fine. We've had a lot of listeners. You know, I know. It's just a joke. Thank you for listening. I'm joking. It's a joke. I'm sorry. I'm a joker. Anyway, I've been helping Vinny. You know, my path has been playing too. He's doing great. You're doing great, Vinny.
00:53:12
Speaker
Vinny, we're all proud of you, except I'm not anymore. He's not listening. He won't listen to this. I i promise you. can you keep us away Can you clip this and play it for him? like i can I'll try to, but he'll just be like... That one that you helped him and now he has to listen to you. That's not what kind that's that kind of relationship this is. He's not gonna listen to me. He won't. where totally fair It's fine. He's a queen. It's all right. He could be doing his thing in the other room. We all love Vinny. We love him. He's good. He's, he you know, he's my queen. Regardless, that's what I'm working on and helping Vinny. I'm doing my stuff. but I'm dying. I'm dying. Good. Yes, he should be.
00:53:58
Speaker
So outside of game, what am I doing? Nothing. I just was sick for two weeks. So I'm back to not being sick most of the way. I saw a little bit of a cough, but I'm not doing anything. Vinny's birthday was last week. We couldn't go out. We couldn't do anything because I was sick. And so we're going out this weekend with my parents. And that's what I'm working on outside of game. Trying to draw. I got the new iPad. I had pro I got that because I was like my old one was starting to die constantly like just Shutting off clip studio was closing on me. So I was like, you know what? It's time to upgrade You know, all the updates aren't really on it yet because it's so brand new it just came out last month I had to do it. You had to do it to him. I had to get her so I got her she's here and wonderful and
00:54:43
Speaker
Love her, love it, love it. and I mean, i'm still I'm still waiting on a lot of the apps to update to use the new functionalities because since it's so new, like clip doesn't have a version that uses the new Apple Pro Pencil, whatever it is, with all the cool fancy push features that it's got now. Oh yes, we totally know. Eventually, that's what happens. Early adoption, that's always how it goes with this stuff. So it's fine. um' I'll be fine. I'll get there. But yes, I have it. It's nice. I love it. What are you guys working on outside of Farm RPG? Anybody can go first. I mean, sure, I'll overshare. Lots of things. ah In my gaming life, I have recently discovered I have an addiction to Factorio. ah Super fun game. My buddy and I are doing co-op playthrough right now. We are having an absolute blast. If I wasn't on this podcast, I'd be playing it right now.
00:55:40
Speaker
I've been playing a cute little game called Rabbit and Steel ah with Nethi because Nethi's a homie. So another super fun little game, a little roguelike. I can't recommend it enough. Good times. I've also been preparing for Elden Ring. ah the DLC drops in one week. I even took the day off of work to play Elden Ring all day because I just I have not been taking time for myself. So I figured what better way to do than to play video games all day like a totally responsible adult. Do it. Yeah, that's the best. I do that whenever a party comes out. Take the day.
00:56:23
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, beyond that, I mean, just normal. I mean, so my daughter had her first dance recital last weekend. That was a lot of fun. ah Lots of cute pictures. Super cute. Oh, so cute. I'll post some pictures of Snapchat. um She was absolutely adorable. I've got ah just a ton of stuff going on in my life. I am. I just don't you get her any flowers. Yeah, of course. Did she accept them? She did. ah She did. ah She preferred the ones that mom got her, though. As an aside ah for my daughter's singing recital, her dad got her some flowers, which she rejected from the depths of her soul, threw them down, ran off weeping, and told him they smelled like hand sanitizer.
00:57:20
Speaker
brutal I love that. Kids are brutal, man. I love it. Kids are brutal, man. I love that. I'm happily child free, permanently. I, you know, kids, I, you know, I'll look at yours. That's nice. I like everybody's cute little babies. yeah will you you Will you come visit me and babysit? Hmm. I am. I was CPR certified. I did do a lot of babysitting in my teenage years. I don't care about CPR. I'm not CPR certified. I was. I got I did it to make more money babysitting when I was ah when I was a teenager. I i was of a good tactic. Listen, I was hoping for free. Listen, I'll babysit your child for free, but i I can promise you she's probably going to learn a swear word. Okay, she already knows several. Okay, good. And we'll fit right in. It'll be fine.
00:58:17
Speaker
but right What about you, Kitty? And what's going on? I am playing a really great game um that is called keeping my tiny humans alive in the appropriate place at the appropriate time. So I don't really have time for others. um There are three of them. They're overwhelming. um If I just stop showing up one day, you'll know that the the coup happened and it was nice knowing you all.
00:58:49
Speaker
they overthrew you. You know, listen, two of my three kids now play video games. And they're, they're yeah like, they're in the Nintendo, like, age. So those they play like Splatoon and Roblox. And yeah, yeah, all of that. Like, they'll actually they don't play Roblox, because I have a very healthy fear of the internet. Smart. Because of my job. So I'm your volunteer work. Yeah, right. Listen, if they're occasionally my oldest will like lean over my shoulder. He's like, when, when will I be big enough to have a farm? And I'm like, go away. This is my farm. Get him in. No farms for you. No farms for you. That's my farm. Yeah. We welcome all as long as they're over 13. I told him he's not big enough for a farm. Not big enough yet.
00:59:45
Speaker
um No corn, no way. No corn for you. Yeah, but they play their little little things. And my oldest is learning to play chess. So that's... Ooh, I will love chess. Yeah, I'm terrible at it. So my husband plays with him and they are actually fairly evenly matched. He's very good. So yeah, it's mildly disturbing. He also recently learned to play poker, which is like not gonna be good for me later on, I guess. I don't know. He's like, can we play with real money? I'm like, no. Your source of income is me. so You could make his source of income poker yeah and then just win. Fair enough. I've won my own money. Things are going great.
01:00:42
Speaker
Welcome to the US today. I feel like I'm profited.
Closing Remarks and Acknowledgments
01:00:47
Speaker
I'm making a lot of fresh pasta lately. Oh, I love that. Fresh pasta. you're using Are you hand rolling or are you using like a pasta maker? um I have been hand rolling, but my younger brother came over and was like, do you want my pasta roller attachment? And I was like, oh my God. Yeah, yeah I have one for the kitchen. My life going to get a lot easier, I think, after he delivers this. Is making pasta difficult? Like how? No, it's easy. It's so easy. it There's a little bit of a learning curve, but once you get it, it it's not. Do you have a second right?
01:01:26
Speaker
I want to learn what is there like a is there somewhere that you learn like that you could show me like can you like link me somewhere where you were like hey this is where I learned how to make pasta like a YouTube video or a recipe or you just like figured it out you were just like one day I'm like I just threw some flour and sugar and eggs on it and listen like it's like two cups of flour and like four eggs polo there it's like you make a well and then you put the eggs in the middle and then you like swirl it in and then like sometimes there's too much flour. You just it's like a thing that you you can watch a video and learn. I'm sure Bon Appetit probably has a video you could watch.
01:02:03
Speaker
I'll look for you. It's fun, though. Making pasta is a good time. And it's delicious. It would be fun to teach my daughter seconds. She would because I've seen it made before. So it just seems like something that she might enjoy, like as like a little four year old, like stir the eggs in and then mix. Yeah. I do a lot of fresh bread, and my kids really like to participate. We need the dough, right? I mean, it's fun to beat them up. Well, I mean, like, we use the KitchenAid, but, you know, they like to, like, add them. Like, oh, add a little flour. There you go. Cute. I love that.
01:02:40

Hello, this is the quality control department for the Farm RPG podcast. Once again here to report on the usage of filler words, specifically that of um, after crossing our I's and dotting our T's, we can say with utter certainty that the exact number of the words um uttered in this podcast is significantly less than last month's episode. So to get your final tally, all you have to do is listen to last month's episode, painstakingly count every instance of the utterance of um, and then subtract a significant amount from that. There you have it. Thank you.
