I don't know if you know this. First of all, we didn't let Luna talk about month. But second of all, never ever be wrong or not technically correct around Luna or you will regret it. She will lawyer you.
00:03:07
Speaker
I guess that's true. I do keep receipts. She keeps all the receipts. ah All of them. For better or for worse. ah Yeah. Well, my mom was also busy, also real life ebbs and flows, and it was ebbing instead of flowing for a little bit, but...
00:03:27

00:04:14
Speaker
Not fun. I just would like it to be like consistently 50 Fahrenheit. That would be great. that That would be enough for I'm glad that you specified Fahrenheit. Our European listeners might have been concerned.
00:04:26
Speaker
Yeah, that's a little warm in Celsius, so. Yeah, yeah, 12 episodes. We've ah we've really not necessarily not hit our stride, but I do enjoy... i do We're limping at best.
00:04:41
Speaker
We're limping at best. But I do enjoy the format that we've kind of landed on over time. Yeah, it's nice. It's just like a chill time hanging out with buds talking about our favorite um text-based farming MMO of Farm RPGs.
00:04:55
Speaker
oh yeah We should talk about Farm RPG instead of our own personal problems. We really should get into it I'm not going to tell you about my month because it's been the same as it always is. Hey, tell us about your month. No, SSDD, bud. Let's get into those updates.
00:05:08
Speaker
Listen, I also want to apologize if you're watching on video. My cat has decided ah that she's just going to jump on my desk. Apology not accepted. if there's like a big bing or like some weird noise well my was doing thing so so that's good so i feel i feel not as bad now because she came in and was like what's all this stuff um on final podcaster when yeah see my dog is locked in a box downstairs so she's like that she's not terrorizing me at the moment but let's get in these updates guys you want to into some updates
00:05:46
Speaker
let's Yeah, do it. ah You know, when I opened up the updates and then I closed the updates because I was like, I'm going to click around and... go back to the home screen. I'm going. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. We're back, baby.
00:05:57
Speaker
we're going start off with March 1st because last episode, we were like at the cusp of March. We were like right there, right on the border, which is the same thing we're doing now. the same thing now? Okay. We're right on the border of April.
00:06:09
Speaker
um But March 1st, we had that great day one update.
Pi Day Event and New Features
00:06:14
Speaker
First of the month, we always get some good stuff. You got that spring basket. There's a new seasonal pet, the hummingbird.
00:06:20
Speaker
Pretty cool. That's horrible. little flowers little little flowers and stuff that's fun um new raptor new style oh what's up love it i love it what's up full body i hope we get to see more full body rap oh that's all that's coming that's all that's coming now baby all i want spoilers Yeah, this won't come out. It'll be out in April, bud. It'll be out in April. We're good. It's all that's coming. This is a new design. It's just a new template. So this is, I basically was like, we need to, I need to switch it up to keep it fresh for me and fresh for everybody.
00:06:54
Speaker
Where's the user? Bring back the old Raptors. I don't think he's logged on in a long time. Bring back the old Raptors. Well, now you'll have to double bring back the old You to bring back the old Raptors. Bring back the old Raptors. the bring back the bring back those aren't going away you'll still be able to get those you'll hatch them no problem I'm not going back to redraw every raptor that would that would kill me I would be dead in the ground if I had to do that we don't really want you to be dead in the ground we like your art yeah it's okay there were some new mailboxes as per use some buddy dolls as per use I love the buddy dolls yeah they are fun controversial but I love them next months are very silly
00:07:35
Speaker
They really are very silly. Yeah, they are goofy. ah Do you want to you want to do March 10th? Do I want to do March 10th? Well, March 10th was high Day event announcement.
00:07:49
Speaker
So we had an event from 314 to 318, I believe. it was Pi Day. Everyone loves Pi Day. I recognize that, again, our friends in other regions use 4133 and not 314. But, you know, we'll forgive you for using the incorrect date.
00:08:12
Speaker
Systema. Merka. Yeah, except I'm not really, well, you know. Let's go there. We also added a new temple to get honey ah my growing radishes.
Community Engagement Initiatives
00:08:26
Speaker
So if you are one of those people that was really feeling the honey pain, perhaps you will feel less pain using the new temple for honey. So that was a thing. Mm-hmm.
00:08:39
Speaker
I like the selection of radishes because I think it's kind of the only crop that has absolutely zero use up to this point. Listen, Doug, I can tell you that I have for probably a year,
00:08:55
Speaker
endeavored to find it a use for honey or not honey for radishes yeah like i have come up with some real off-the-wall craft ideas but i've never been able to find anything that really sticks and then when we were talking about maybe getting a honey temple i was like can we please use radishes yeah it makes no sense the only reason i dm'd them was because of the new temples that came out. Otherwise, it was just the only one I didn't have a reason to grow.
00:09:26
Speaker
And I would still like to aim to give you more reasons to grow it. But if you, any of you, have an idea for an item that... Because trust me, i have researched the heck out of radishes. Typically, this is my crafting philosophy is I kind of look at real life stuff and use that as inspiration.
00:09:45
Speaker
I got nothing on radishes, guys. The only thing they go in is salads. And that's about it. You can eat them for breakfast with a little bit of butter. I mean, I personally just eat radishes with a little bit of salt on them. but They're good. I love a radish. They're delicious. Yeah, they are very good. Like as a craft in Farm RPG, they're a little tough to create crafts for.
00:10:07
Speaker
Anyways, sorry. No, you're good. Just, you know, we love the lore. The radish lore. The radish lore. the radish lord So there was another update on the 24th, which was like a couple of ago. you skipped the 18th.
00:10:20
Speaker
No, I skipped the 18th. Oh, my God. I have no idea why you would do that. because i have no idea. Because it's focused on you. No, it is. That's not focused on me. The featured animals update. I mean, you can feature a cool animal. That is true. You could feature your cool ah Red Bull, which you should have.
00:10:34
Speaker
I don't know why you wouldn't have that Red Bull, which is the coolest cow in the game. um But go ahead and feature your animals on your page. You can feature up to eight animals. um So give them a good name. Make sure you name your big your pigs big Bungo. Every single one of them, all cats. Oh, my pigs are still big Bungo. yeah Mine are, too.
00:10:54
Speaker
ah Well, I was trying to exploit the bug of the of the animal naming charts. Oh, man, I miss World Stats. Yeah, World Stats was good. that was good Getting Big Bungo to stat on the Pigs page was very fun.
00:11:11
Speaker
um The museum has a cool thing now where you can see like progress bars for the different categories, which is pretty cool. um We have a Blue Sky account now because Twitter is the worst.
00:11:23
Speaker
ah That's my personal opinion. I don't, you know... I don't like Twitter. It does not endorse any of the opinions said on this podcast. Excuse it's X, whatever it is. ex Twitter, whatever. i don't like it, so but we are moving over to Blue Sky.
00:11:38
Speaker
ah Other changes. um There's some like you know housekeeping stuff. ah Small change for the server reset process, and there's some back... rotten bugs and other bug fixes were were implemented, which I do not know what they are personally because i am not that kind of admin. And I'm not going to tell you. He won't say. so If it's not listed on the update, there's probably a reason. So we're just going to have to enjoy it as it is. Yeah.
00:12:12
Speaker
Other improvements, quote unquote. And dude, like three days ago, we had another small update, ah which, man, I've said a lot of us and ums already.
00:12:24
Speaker
am racking rack and ra inward jar the gold for the swear jar. um We, the temple added, so you can see the number of people that have completed a temple chain and how many things have been donated, because it's just really fun to see those big numbers.
00:12:40
Speaker
We like really kind of gives you just a scope and scale of how much stuff happens in farm. It's really fun. Um, we also added a new temple to get a new Borg and belt, uh, which is a fun little addition.
00:12:56
Speaker
And then we had a couple, ah cleanup things, added some clarification texts to get the random password button in the mailbox log. Some players weren't aware they were being charged gold, which yeah, that costs gold.
00:13:07
Speaker
Um, And then we added rainbow colored progress bar when you complete any of the progress bars in the museum. People really like that rainbow progress bar. Who doesn't? I love to see rainbow. It's so beautiful.
00:13:21
Speaker
so true. So beauteous. Beautiful. Let's pull the um the um slash swear jar winner, which I did completely random this time.
00:13:33
Speaker
listen, I took your suggestions, everybody's complaints and suggestions, and I didn't do the boob on scroll method. I even like took a screenshot and send it to force path to prove that I just hit a button ah to generate the number. and then I had to count to
Swear Jar Competition Winner
00:13:51
Speaker
81. And then I had to count again to 29. So you all should feel bad for making me do this.
00:13:55
Speaker
But anyway, and don't feel better the winner is Farmer Aurora. Farmer Aurora, please send me a DM. You DM'd me like two days ago to talk about Flight Rising.
00:14:07
Speaker
DM me again. Get at me. Oh, more people DMing you for Flight Rising. I just DM'd about Flight Rising. I know you did, which is ah I'm still playing it. I'm, i'm you know, I'm Working on a little breeding project for some dragons. So if you want to play Fight Rising, just let me know.
00:14:24
Speaker
This is not a sponsored Fight Rising post. This is just what I've been playing in my off hours. ah But yes, Farmer Aurora, d me and claim your prize.
00:14:38
Speaker
ah Yeah, so there's that. Good job. You hit a couple more ums in there. I know, you know, just racking it up, racking it up. I'm so grateful for the swear jar for telling me how bad I am at talking.
00:14:51
Speaker
It's fine. You know, whatever. It's... Man, we really flew through the intro today. 15 minutes. feel like we kind of flew through it. Let's be honest.
00:15:03
Speaker
Not a ton of updates this month. We've been really busy cooking in the background. We have been cooking. April 1st, we'll maybe show a little bit more of why we haven't maybe done as much in March as would have. April general is always kind of busy for us.
00:15:18
Speaker
Yeah. Easter's a big thing with the eggs. And last year there were new eggs on top of the old eggs. So hiding all the eggs everywhere. Gosh, I hope there's not more new eggs.
00:15:31
Speaker
I hope not. Yeah. That's like a logistical nightmare ah the behind the scenes then. As much as it is on the ah the player end. Yes.
00:15:42
Speaker
Fair amount of planning. Lots of planning, lots of things. You'll see. And I'm 100% certain I'll forget about April 1st and just open the game and not know what's going on for whatever you guys have in store. What are you talking about? We have nothing in store.
00:15:59
Speaker
have We don't know what you're talking about. Nothing. there's nothing but There's nothing planned for April 1st. We're good. Nothing. What's with sleeves? and Nothing at all. nothing yeah Not a single thing.
00:16:13
Speaker
Alright. But I do have a Fresca. but Not sponsored. how But if you want to sponsor us, I'll take a Fresca. I've got a Sprite Tropical Mix. but i just have aware water I love water, but it's it's Sprite time, baby. The Sprite is like my lifeblood.
00:16:30
Speaker
You know, it really bothers me, though, because for the longest time, I truly thought that something with aspartame in it was zero sugar. And to find out that they've been messing with my head the whole time to find out that there's actually sugar in aspartame that is upsetting to me.
00:16:46
Speaker
true And I will still drink it and feel upset that I've been deceived. Aspartame is going with a headache. Yeah, I can't. I can't drink stuff with that in it. this i don't I like that. I don't know. It agree with me.
00:16:58
Speaker
um I guess I'm just weird about it. I like it. Plenty of people agree with Diasota. It just doesn't agree with me. Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. fair enough Fair enough. Fair enough. Did you have a jar for that? or oh A fair enough jar? We should maybe make one with the amount of fair enoughs that just popped off. Popping off.
00:17:20
Speaker
So, Luna. Yeah, let's talk about Luna. We're going to talk about you. it's your It's your time to shine, baby girl. um I'm not saying that.
00:17:31
Speaker
It's been three years since I've... Were you last on the podcast? Yeah, you were on with Belle. You were one of like i was the originals. um It was a month after I finished my PhD.
00:17:43
Speaker
Wow. Because I couldn't do it before that. I was way too
Luna's Farm RPG Journey
00:17:46
Speaker
stressed out. So after I finished that, I said, okay, I'll i'll be on the podcast now. And I was just a player still. now how did you find farm rpg originally i'm sure you went over this in the bell and the in the bell uh interview but i we're gonna probably recap some of this that's all right i think i still don't really know the answer like i don't have a definite i probably was just searching the app store for various things so like i on facebook i was you know in farm Farmville and all that back in the ye old days.
00:18:18
Speaker
So sometimes I get that kind of itch and just look up like farming games on the app store or I like idle games or simulation games. So in one of those searches, it has to have come up and was in a set of apps I downloaded to try. And then it never went away after I tried it in back in 2021.
00:18:39
Speaker
And I can tell you, we are very grateful that you haven't gone away. yeah Yes, you you do help a lot. ah as a lot Very much. Hugely.
00:18:51
Speaker
You ah assist us in many ways. And you're just generally a cool person, which kind of helps, too. It's not just a transactional value. Yes.
00:19:01
Speaker
Come on, Bubun. but Come on, Bubun. Listen, you're going to...
00:19:09
Speaker
I was complimented. She's so helpful. Come on. Anyway. Jeez. God.
00:19:19
Speaker
So you've been with us for like three years, almost four years. so good. You hate me. Listen, I've been at these almost four years, right? The game's almost been around four years. When did you join? That's what was going to say. So I joined in October of 2021. I feel like a lot of people and a lot of staff, for some reason, are October 21 people. Yeah.
00:19:40
Speaker
people um but That was what InformerBG really popped off, right? Yeah, there I wonder if there was some kind of, someone mentioned it somewhere. i think a lot of people around the same time as me came in from a podcast. Besties. That wasn't the thing because I wasn't listening to that. So I just incidentally joined her around the same time joined her around the same time. Yeah, the the Besties podcast. I think Griffin McElroy was playing.
00:20:04
Speaker
like Yeah, so but the four-year thing, that's what i was thinking about, too, when you were going through the updates, because I was looking at the update page and all the people who had their three stars today, but Firestream will be getting his fourth star in a couple days here. That's so true.
00:20:19
Speaker
Very, very soon. It's crazy. it's They're racking up those stars, so...
00:20:29
Speaker
But Luna, what is your favorite chat in the game? where I need to know. Please tell me. You need to know. You don't know it already. do. I know, but I need to know so that everybody knows. Yeah, that's true. I'm really a spoily at heart. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Aren't we all? I know. we Salt, Lord. I know. Except... ah I just, it's it's where I've landed. It's like the help chat where everyone is less nice.
00:20:57
Speaker
And I don't know why. yeah Wow, really really selling our community. But, you know, help chat is so, so nice and and welcoming to all the newer players. And spoilers is ah is where some of the old curmudgeons sit. And I've become an old curmudgeon and I sit in there.
00:21:15
Speaker
It's good. I feel like you have to kind of be a curmudgeon if you're going to sit in there. because You have to be in order to stand it. yeah Just stand the salt, the waves of salt coming in. I used to spend a lot of time in global when I was new, um but it's changed. I feel like having been now a mod for so long that the global, the crowd in global turns over quite a lot because I think it's one of the chats that the newer players end up in.
00:21:42
Speaker
So I was from global maybe like 10 globals ago. But it's turned over quite ah quite a few times. like Like, Nicho's sat there the whole time. But back when Nicho was, you know, I was new around the same time as him.
00:21:58
Speaker
FFF has always been around there. But there's a whole, like... list of players. I mean, Pat is pretty old. He keeps coming up on the podcast for some reason. We you just need to bring Pat up every single podcast. Does he even listen to the podcast?
00:22:12
Speaker
Doubtful. But there's, yeah, there's a bunch of bunch of older players that a lot of them have moved on because it's been years and that happens. So... um I've just ah crusted my way into spoilers permanently where I can talk about math of things and people generally want to hear it for some reason.
00:22:32
Speaker
You are the math queen of spoilers. I feel like if anybody needs a spreadsheet and or math done, they're like, where's Luna? I've gotten the reputation, which I, which I, you know, I think is...
00:22:46
Speaker
I take that as a great compliment because when I was new, I really loved Belligan's sheets. but He had a bunch of Google sheets. Yeah, and so but whenever I was able to make the sheets, and I only have a couple tabs on it that are in the library, the ones called Luna sheets, you know, in homage to the Belligan sheets.
00:23:06
Speaker
It was like a big deal for me. Shout out to Belligan. Belligan rules. We love Bell. It's pretty neat, you know, to see older players kind of sticking around to the game. And then, you know, as an example, you've been a huge community resource in terms of spreadsheets. Is that what keeps you around FarmRPG? Like, is it the community? Is it you enjoy doing the math on new things that come out? What's a but's kind of been your hook that has kept you around all these and three years? A long time in any year.
00:23:39
Speaker
Yeah, I think. It's both. It's both of those things. and And or like knowing that there's something coming out next. um And I don't always necessarily know when the next update is coming, but the game's always been updating for the whole time that I've been playing. So it's exciting to see New things, big new things, small new things. Sometimes the smaller updates are even just like a little quality of life thing is speaks volumes to a bunch of players.
00:24:10
Speaker
um But that and the community, I wake up and I check chat usually on my phone in the most mornings because I want to see what are people talking about? You know, has something has something exciting happened?
00:24:22
Speaker
and Something popped off overnight that we that we need to look at. that's more the mod role, but, um, putting fires out in your sleep. Yeah. And then doing the math and stuff is, is fun.
00:24:35
Speaker
Like over the past year, there were several kinds of event things. The frozen fishing one was the last one i ah event thing I did math for, which I didn't do this past year since it was the new, the but winter before
Collecting Event Data
00:24:50
Speaker
that. But I kind of, I don't do things the way that super smart people would do where they can automate data and stuff like that. I do a lot of collecting data by hand, but I just had a super fun time saying, hey, if you're fishing in a frozen location, like send me,
00:25:08
Speaker
um you know, like a video of you fishing and I'll count how many fish you got so we can determine the drop rates because they weren't on Buddy Farm yet. And I made a whole spreadsheet out of that just because I thought that was super cool.
00:25:20
Speaker
That's so Luna. That is for you. Like someone else would would figure out how to code something to make that easier. But no, I'm like, just screen record, you know, tell me if you used a meal or not and just and send me your screen recording. I'll count up all the fish and we'll figure out a drop rate for all these fishing zones.
00:25:39
Speaker
So is that the scientist in you that just loves yeah testing things by like a visual? You're just like very like, i want to test this hypothesis by yourself almost. Yeah.
00:25:51
Speaker
Yeah, I guess. Collect the data. Organize it. Like, when when truffles came out, I did the same thing. i I love, like, recruiting people out of the chat to send me waking up and having DMs of, oh, my pigs gave me this many truffles this day.
00:26:04
Speaker
gave me this many truffles this day. That was one. When cooking came out, I wasn't staff yet, but I became staff that month that cooking came out. But... um I did get the, had the beta to get access to cooking. And I spent the first day of having cooking.
00:26:23
Speaker
I think I spent like 10 hours just sitting there with a spreadsheet where I tracked the XP for every action. And that's how there's the cooking ah document that's that's in the library now that has the the formulas. Some of the people in the,
00:26:38
Speaker
you know alpha or beta had figured some stuff out but i sat there and calculated every single action every single stir and taste and what did they do and i did the same thing with mining when mining hit hit beta to figure out the formulas for what's an explosive and what's a miss and what's a pickaxe and i just get a real kick out of that i don't know why and we love you for that we know that's that's amazing honestly God love you. I have no no idea how you do it.
00:27:06
Speaker
I could not do that. i feel like I was just like, Boobun on the camera has just zoned out while I'm talking about all this. I'm sitting here feeding my pigs because I haven't done it today.
00:27:16
Speaker
see But honestly, amazing. I do not. I could not do it. I could not do what you do. I couldn't. You are you are a math queen.
00:27:29
Speaker
Yeah, definitely not the best, but I'm persistent. this is Honestly, it's amazing. and It's been so helpful to play to the whole player base also. I know people use those sheets all of the time.
00:27:41
Speaker
Yeah, sometimes I get DMs and it's really sweet whenever someone reaches out and says, i love that, you know... I found this information that's on there. And I have ideas in my head for other tabs I wanted to make that I just never went back and did because I get busy or I don't want to sit down and do that sometimes for several hours. Focus on some other mechanic that you must make make math for.
00:28:07
Speaker
Like I had ah had a tab for the scythe of Deuster at the top of the tower. I started that, didn't finish it. So that's not in there.
00:28:16
Speaker
Amazing. I love making mechanics that ands like for me personally, like not necessarily you, but I am a big fan ah when we make mechanics that are that are definitely things you can understand, but require some of the the testing that you talk about, right? Like we know, like I know the formulas behind a majority of the things that you talk about.
00:28:40
Speaker
It's fun to watch people kind of prove those out in a in a live scenario almost. So it's really cool. i I've always enjoyed watching, you know, you do that work. And I i can just mirror what Bubun said. Like, we're very grateful to have you both as a mod, but just as a community member.
00:28:59
Speaker
People really value what you do. That's true. Thanks. I appreciate that. Ha ha. We complimented Luna. Now she's going to be embarrassed. Ha ha. Well, but let's, you know, segue into a fun one, which is who is your least favorite moderator?
00:29:17
Speaker
What do we do? that's a good mind for yeah Let's switch it up. We're switching it up. We're going to with least favorite first. I have answers prepared for these. They have caveats. okay No No, there's caveats. Let me have my caveat.
00:29:30
Speaker
but Let her have her caveats. Come on. so And I got to get my phone now because um my least favorite. I'm so sorry. I'll extend an olive branch.
00:29:42
Speaker
um Right now, Wade. This is Wade. Every time he sees me, he's telling me to flex. still And I don't want to do it. Every time he sees me for the past like a year, he said, you know, you could flex, you could flex. And so wait, my Bojangles buddy, I'm extending the olive branch. And right at this very moment, I've unhidden the quest.
00:30:06
Speaker
And I'm completing the quest. I'm completing Flexible Spending on the podcast. And I'm not going to say it in chat because I want to see if like no one, i don't know if anyone's stalking my network to see if I've done it.
00:30:18
Speaker
But I want to wait until the podcast actually releases. And then amazing then it will be out that I've done it. But I'm i'm clicking Complete and Collect. No way. Heck yeah. I'm clicking it again. Get it. That's wild.
00:30:31
Speaker
And I'm turning in my paper receipts. Oh my gosh. My goodness. in done It's been done. It's been done. I flex. But I can't tell chat because I, you know.
00:30:44
Speaker
Don't tell him. You heard it here first on the podcast. That's a hell of a flex, Luna. That is an extreme flex. what ah What a good thing to do on the podcast. So now you can't bug me about it anymore.
00:30:56
Speaker
Oh my goodness. Well, that leads us into the second question. Mm-hmm. Who is your most favorite? we're were We're starting with the the bad and ending with the good.
00:31:09
Speaker
Yeah. Also difficult. We have great staff. um It's true. My favorite with a caveat, because I was reminded by listening to the last podcast episode, I love Link LJ.
00:31:26
Speaker
he's great He's a great staff. He's a great mom. I wish he wasn't a Rick supporter. That's my caveat. But otherwise, Great guy. the lj um Awesome staff member, LJ.
00:31:37
Speaker
I just wish you didn't love Rick because I love Beatrix and Geist and you can't love them both. No, you cannot, unfortunately. You can't hunt the dragon hunter if you love the dragon.
00:31:50
Speaker
Interesting. Very interesting picks. Thank you so much for sharing. I kind of like that we've kind of gotten out of the Koala Corgi hate mode little bit. It's been a while since somebody said that that he was their least favorite. So, you know. Yeah, we gotta give some other people the spotlight.
00:32:08
Speaker
You gotta, you know, you gotta shine a light. You can't the spotlight every episode. That's true. You gotta to shine a light where a light cannot be shined. Sometimes. Wow.
00:32:18
Speaker
So, a light in the darkness. and um Also, hey, your secret, your secret item is I'm not saying the P word. Because somebody commented saying, you guys weren't going to say the P word.
00:32:37
Speaker
You said you weren't going to say the P word anymore. And then you said the P word in the last episode. So yeah, you're secret. You already said it in this episode, but while you're reading the updates. So it's very far away from this point.
00:32:49
Speaker
This is true. they do this They do the search thing. This is true. So why don't you hit us with it? And you can either spoil what you're giving out or don't spoil what you're giving don't think we spoil what you're giving out, actually. No, it doesn't matter. Keep it a surprise. Okay. Yeah.
00:33:04
Speaker
keep it a surprise yeah But my password is she blinded me with science. After the lovely 80s song. ah love it. And I believe we decided that it was all smooshed together.
00:33:18
Speaker
Yes, no spaces. One big word. No spaces. Okay. I don't want handle that. Great. Doodly dood. Doodly dood. The sound of force path. Handling business. Doodly dood. Doodly dood.
00:33:37
Speaker
I don't know where that came from. That is not just just do me out here. i just doodly doodly. I'm um in the world. Goodness me. we have any other questions for Luna?
00:33:48
Speaker
Do we have any other questions for Luna? Well, you know, there's only two of us. That's true. I'm asking you. You have covered ah pretty much everything that we typically ask this is for our friends.
00:34:02
Speaker
So does that mean it's time?
00:34:07
Speaker
Is it time time? I think it might be tea time. Okay. I mean, yeah. Time for a spot of tea. A spot. and A small spot. Can we all do our worst British accents? A spot of tea. Oh my gosh. Wow.
00:34:20
Speaker
I don't want to insult anybody. You're not you know it's insulting anyone by having a bad accent. Eh, okay. Well, you know what? it tuesday but he want to go to Tuesday?
00:34:31
Speaker
you go. I've been watching a lot of Ted Lasso lately, so I've been feeling a little more British-y. I get it. I get it. But it's it's the tea time. ah First, I want to preface tea time. I want to start tea time off with a question for our viewers specifically, the people who actually view the podcast on YouTube.
00:34:50
Speaker
Do you like the video? you like watching video? Because we were thinking about just making it audio only. But if you really love seeing our shining, beautiful faces, you know, we'll continue.
00:35:01
Speaker
It's not a big deal one way or the other, but... We have talked about it and we were wondering. So if you could give me some feedback, either go on to the improve loop, leave a comment,
00:35:13
Speaker
Or you could DM me or you could DM Force Path. You could DM one of us and let us know. No one ever DMs Force Path. Nobody DMs you. I get so many DMs after the podcast. That's a big lie. No, no. i so I did not receive a single DM for the last podcast at all. But couple, like two months ago, and I think I mentioned this. I mentioned like, hey, if you're listening to the our podcast in February, DM me.
00:35:36
Speaker
I got a bunch of those. don't typically get podcast comments, which is totally fine. ah yeah by then were I will respond if you message me, typically. Here's the thing. is the people that so I keep getting people that are like, you said in this podcast to message you a few weeks if like in six months if you're listening to that episode now.
00:35:55
Speaker
And I'm listening to it now. a lot of people binge this podcast, which I appreciate. Thank you for shotgunning the whole thing when you find out we have a podcast. I love Yeah, it's wild. Thank you. It's so fun. and i just love hearing from you. So if you're shotgunning the podcast and you're hearing this and it's like, you know, it's like...
00:36:10
Speaker
October? Let me know. Let me know anyway. I don't care. Just send me a message. But if you like watching the video, give us give us
Hosts' Personal Activities
00:36:19
Speaker
some feedback. I would still put this on YouTube and there it would still be like a video version. it just would be audio with like a picture.
00:36:26
Speaker
Yeah. You know, it would just be audio without our faces. so if Yeah, i'm just I'm also very curious if people really want that form. I had originally thought that would be more in demand and perhaps I'm wrong.
00:36:39
Speaker
Personally, yeah I don't know. so I like doing the video. It doesn't matter me one way or the other. Just let us know what you want. It helps me to connect with the people I'm talking to to have video. It's visual.
00:36:52
Speaker
It gives me a reason to put like something other something other than pajamas on sometimes. so Speak for yourself. I'm already wearing pajamas. Yeah, I have pajamas on. but I mean, I have pants on, they're pajama pants.
00:37:06
Speaker
a But yeah, let us know. So, uh, tea time. It's tea time. It's tea time. It's tea time.
00:37:18
Speaker
It's tea time. Tea time. So what are you, what are you working on there? I'm going to go with Luna. Luna, tell me what you're working on this right now. and but you What you're working on? In Farmer RPG.
00:37:31
Speaker
I am working on D.I. yeah the idea This is is this the one where, so all of these big endgame quests, I think I look back at StarMap and PamRats and PSA, and they all have taken me usually about three months.
00:37:49
Speaker
This one, i I'm into the fourth month now, but we're almost done. So DI was a ah bit more challenging than the other ones. Guess what is going to be the last item that holds me up?
00:38:02
Speaker
Mr. Quest Writer. Hmm.
00:38:06
Speaker
Do I have to guess? Because i feel like I'm going to make a fool of myself no matter what I say. Yes, you have to guess.
00:38:13
Speaker
Farm RPG. You're going to cheat? You're going to look? I'm going to go look at what the items are. No, he's going to go look at what what you... No, no, no, no, no. He's going to fully cheat. No, that's... that's state and I'm just going to go look at the items on DI14 just to remind myself. I'm not on DI14. What?
00:38:32
Speaker
have to remind you a spreadsheet of everything I need till the end. So the thing that's blocking me doesn't need to be in 14. The thing that's going to take me the most staying to get on my list that's left.
00:38:45
Speaker
I'm going to guess the thing that's going to take you the longest to get. It's probably going to be like a spiked shell, perhaps, ah or like a frost snapper shell. Like those are the things that I would something fishing related is kind of my guess, but it could also be a card.
00:39:05
Speaker
Those are my guesses. Yeah. So I'm buffering a little bit. The fishing is usually an ah more of an issue for the newer players because they haven't had the inventory and the the the nets as long to a fish. So I have all the fishing stuff.
00:39:20
Speaker
What it is, is fire ants. They are so evil. They used to just they are so evil that's so evil used to just go Straight to the void.
00:39:33
Speaker
When we were exploring the forest now, I still need gold leaves too, but based on what I have left, I'll get all the gold leaves I need, and then I think I still have to spend 12 million stam in the forest to get the rest of the ants.
00:39:47
Speaker
once Yeah, fire ants. That was a great craft idea. god Diabolical. Diabolical's right. Well, there have been more diabolical crafts, but It's up there. True.
00:39:59
Speaker
There has been quite a lot of like silk. Come on. Kind of diabolical. That one i'm go to die when I actually is is diabolical.
00:40:11
Speaker
And like more ways than one also is diabolical because it's like you're squishing bugs. to make To make the silk. So it's like gross and also it stinks because you need so many like spiders or is it caterpillars? It's both.
00:40:28
Speaker
It's both. It's both and it's multiple of both. It like hurts to do because spiders are both spiders and caterpillars are just a pain in the butt ski to get. Well, they are now. They didn't used to be.
00:40:41
Speaker
That's true. You know, that's the great thing about this game. The economy can change at the drop of a hat. In an instantaneous moment. You put something into the game and suddenly something that was worth nothing, worth so much.
00:40:54
Speaker
Or vice versa. That's my favorite. I love that. Find an item that no one valued and make it very valuable. Just bomb that and sell it. Yeah.
00:41:05
Speaker
Love it. Love that. Other things, other thing I'm working on is just passively friendship. I'm getting pretty close to all the 99s, which I feel like means and maybe maybe another one will just pop up at zero.
00:41:22
Speaker
but Because that that that usually is how things go. when Once you get right to the end, they yeah they being, ah you know, you yeah Yeah, no.
00:41:35
Speaker
Who knows? Pull a fast one. but You never know. We could. ever know I have to you have like, I think four or five people left, but they're all in the late 90s, so I'm really chucking getting close.
00:41:49
Speaker
But we have a have a couple NPCs that are in kind of mid-game quests that are on that list. Maybe they could be added. That would be nice. Such as?
00:42:01
Speaker
Oh, am I allowed to say them? I mean, they're they're not that late game of quests. but We have Ragvin and Captain Logan. They're not on our friend list, but they do give us quests.
00:42:13
Speaker
Would you like them to be? I think they could be fun friends. Feedback, I'll go to the improved loop. Interesting. i sitting and perfect you can yeah i think we will we will make a one-time exception ah for your improved loop, and we'll see about it.
00:42:31
Speaker
here
00:42:34
Speaker
and I do like it. I like the idea. I like and you know i like i like new villagers. Mostly because that means I get to draw a new bobblehead.
00:42:43
Speaker
Oh, yeah. i've heard I've heard some of those have been falling off the shelf for people. o Oh, yeah. I think that's ah one of the... It's just little bug. little bug. little bug, yeah. It's little bug. Don't worry. It's like a not super important bug, but it's yeah know it's on the radar. So don't worry. We know we know about it.
00:43:00
Speaker
Yeah. It's dropping off a little bit. That's okay. So, Force Path, what are you working on? Unless you're unless you're not done, Luna. Are you done? is that what you're working that everything? I think that's it.
00:43:12
Speaker
for What am I working on i'm goingnna I'm going to be totally honest with you. I haven't spent a lot time working on a lot of stuff in farm this month. yeah and been I have been just absolutely slam busy. Now, some of that is of my own making, of course, which we'll talk about later because I have...
00:43:32
Speaker
I've definitely been busy. ah So frankly, i haven't really had a ton of time. In fact, I've been missing quite a few of my ah daily quests right now.
00:43:43
Speaker
Like I'm just, I log in check but chats and i kind of lurk a little bit, but I haven't really had a ton of time go. Devote to furpage in the last month.
00:43:56
Speaker
Furpage. I love this like new word you've just made for this. Furpage. Oh, that's sama that's some of my personal friend's slang when we talk about farm refugee. Oh, the furpage.
00:44:07
Speaker
I like it. We just call it farm in this house. Oh, you're working on farm? Yep, working on farm. So, i yeah, I would say i have been, if on a personal note, I've been cheering on my mother, who has been continually playing Farm RPG, and shout-outs to her, hitting ah t one hundred recently.
00:44:32
Speaker
Very, very happy for her. And ah she also, ah in ah in a personal note, ah last Sunday actually messaged me and goes, hey, Force Path, that she actually uses my real name, but, you know, let's...
00:44:46
Speaker
No, your mom calls you Force Path for sure. yeah She totally does not.
00:44:52
Speaker
um That'd be really funny. That'd be really, really funny. She texts me last Sunday and goes, hey, Force Path, I just finished a wall on the way. I'm so excited. I'm like, hey, I'm so proud of you. you know Keep it up, Mom. like Awesome.
00:45:07
Speaker
And then you know a couple minutes later, she texts me and goes, so oh, and by the way, I did read the quest too. Nice job. Like, sort of like. That's so nice. like Like, as an aside, after she is she's just like, oh, right, yeah, the the the writing, the writing. The writing is fine. She likes the grind. She's here for the grind. oh She's here for the grind. She's not here for your writing.
00:45:30
Speaker
She's here for the grind, baby. So i I do spend, i do i do talk with ah my mom a little bit about Farm RPG every week. So that also keeps me kind of in the loop on what's going on at different places in the game. So that's a lot of fun.
00:45:46
Speaker
ah That said, just because I haven't been playing Farm RPG doesn't mean I haven't been working on stuff in Farm RPG. So I do want to make that clear. Yes. Because I've had that comment before. So I don't ever stop working on Farm RPG.
00:45:59
Speaker
Yeah, correct. that it's The fun never ends. I am 100% active within the... other It lives in the brain. it truly does. i think about Farm RPG a lot.
00:46:11
Speaker
I think about Farm RPG, even if I even logged into the game, which is a sin. Sometimes it happens, though. ah But I am literally, like, jacked into the back end of Farm RPG at all times.
00:46:22
Speaker
Like, oh locked and loaded into Farm RPG. Just working on stuff, you know? So, what about you, Bubun? What have you been working on?
00:46:33
Speaker
Nothing. In Fireman RPG, nothing at all. Like, literally, I've been so bad the last, like, two months. Work has just been crushing me into a small diamond. ah My day job. Also, just, like, a lot of just back-end activities as in i'm just trying a lot just for fun but i've just given myself tendonitis again so i'm trying to rest no just it's like it's like creepy i don't know if you've ever had tendonitis but like you can feel it starting and then you're like crap i've got to i've got to ice my wrist like now so yeah i don't know that i've ever had like diagnosed tendonitis but i've gotten my wrist uh messed up from like
00:47:15
Speaker
I on my phone too much or I played on the switch too much with the weird controller shape. And now my, my wrist has, but I've got that in my elbow right now for some reason. That's and when elbow so that's new when I hate it. And it' it's been there for maybe three weeks now and I'm still waiting for it to go away.
00:47:32
Speaker
Get ice and stretch. That's my tips for you as somebody who gets it in my wrist all the time. You got to stretch constantly. um So I'm trying to like stave it off just with some, you know,
00:47:44
Speaker
some tender love and care over here with some icing and some stretching but not a lot happening for me in my farm rpg world i again this just as mr force path himself has just said that does not mean i'm not working on the game itself however i've drawn ah drawing a lot which includes drawing a lot for game so i do feel bad sometimes like when we ask this and i'm like i'm coming up to it dread it a little bit like yeah what are we working on So truthfully, what I do is I've been going into giveaways lately and I just give away the resources that I've been generating because I just I just don't really have the time and mental energy to devote to something like a DI.
00:48:21
Speaker
I need to dump nets like it's nobody's business. Yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe we both need to to commit to doing a little bit of ah heavy lifting in the farm.
00:48:32
Speaker
No, I'm just saying I'm saying maybe we maybe we need to get into the salt mines. We need get a goal. We need to set a goal. We need to set a goal for other. Should we have like ah a little mini competition? You're just not competitive. I'm not competitive. We need a goal like a like a like a cooperative goal.
00:48:49
Speaker
Cooperative goal. Yeah. Let's think about it. not think about competition. Let's think about cooperation. All right. Yeah, let's think about it. we'll We'll come up with something and then we can surprise. We can report back.
00:48:59
Speaker
We can report back. We'll report back what we decided we were going to Maybe maybe viewers can also remind us like, hey, did you did you do a little bit of work on ah on a quest today? Like, did you you you send some AP?
00:49:12
Speaker
You know, what do you yeah mean? did Yeah. Did you mail that off or did you search for your lima beans for PSA 3? I gotta do it. Oh my god, don't remind me, please! I'm sitting there staring at me in the face! have possibly been responsible for that? oh god It was Luna's fault. I know, i know! I've been told it was her fault.
00:49:32
Speaker
Who would have said that Canepole Ridge isn't isn't represented in our past quests? Oh god. it should be added in some way. I didn't ask for lima beans!
00:49:43
Speaker
Don't give this man ideas, ever! Never tell him anything, he's evil! He's evil! I liked it, though. It was nice. Evil! Because it was my fault.
00:49:54
Speaker
Was it your fault? Maybe a little bit. I said, hey, you, you like, Cane Bowl Ridge doesn't have that much that's exclusive to it, and there's not really a reason to go there, and you said, ah reason to go there!
00:50:10
Speaker
like I mean, here' sir certainly a lima be this so certainly i would say that when people mention I don't have a reason to do something, my first thought process well, how can I give them a reason? And sometimes that becomes unreasonable.
00:50:30
Speaker
But that's kind of fun, too. I mean, don't kill the messenger, but I have a lot of fun doing that. Listen, it's needed, too. And people like kibitzing about it in chat. Kvetching?
00:50:41
Speaker
Yeah. yeah Yes, I enjoy watching people kvetch about it. i yeah give said It's good. It's a good time. And we get that like good... Most of the time, yeah.
00:50:53
Speaker
Oh, the schadenfreude? Yeah. Just like enjoying people's pain and suffering.
00:51:00
Speaker
I would never enjoy anyone else's pain. Not you. Not me. It's every time I release a new quest and people are struggling and frustrated, my heart goes out to them.
00:51:12
Speaker
I've never cackled madly, never taken screenshots to put in my scrap your scraps scrapbook of hatred. i love a scrapbook, baby. I've never done anything like that. That doesn't sound like me at all I should have made a scrapbook for the spider. What was I thinking?
00:51:29
Speaker
You know, funny, you mentioned the spider. Pretty much everyone universally loved your creepy spider. No, they didn't. and but but that's That's false. No, no, I'm not talking about the one that we put in game. the actual creepy one? Yeah, people did say they liked that one better.
00:51:45
Speaker
Everyone said It's not creepy at all. I was like, I'll say this you. Do you want to see it? Maybe. I feel like I have to now. Because I like the one that actually ended up in game creeps me out. And I don't dont know if it's because it has like a fuzzy face and there's something like...
00:52:02
Speaker
so something like cfe upsetting about it he's cute anyway it's okay if you don't like him it doesn't it doesn't bother me but people like this other one better i can't believe it It was a hot reaction. I feel like people love it better because they know it was rejected. Not picked. It was rejected. Because it was it was rejected, people are like, oh, well, I like this one better now. like I feel like that's what's happening here.
00:52:29
Speaker
But I do like it. So sorry. so sorry for be I do like it. Because it does actually look like... It's the fuzziness. It's the fuzziness of the one that's in the game and like the big eyes that are getting me.
00:52:42
Speaker
This one doesn't really have big eyes. It has local eyes. This one's, like... I was told this one was too scary, but he's, like, very smooth. Yeah. He's shiny. He is smooth like the old guy.
00:52:54
Speaker
But, anyway, not to not to go back and talk about the spider again, but I was thinking about the scrapbook. Spider drama. I love to make a ah ah like a hate page of stuff that people don't like about something I've made.
00:53:08
Speaker
i just love it. I have... I have so many screenshots of people, you know, that i have some of people like cursing me out, but mostly just people um telling me, you know, how bad I am at design and know things like that. I have have more than a scrapbook full of of hatred.
00:53:30
Speaker
hmm. It's great stuff. It's beautiful. I will say i don't actually love it when people say that. i I'm putting on a bit of a putting on a bit of air. ah man This is a bit. I personally but i think it's fun.
00:53:43
Speaker
i I don't mind. it's You can do something while you want. I'm weird. You're made from a different cloth. Here's the thing. to art school and you can it's like people just make fun of your stuff right in front of you and it's called a critique.
00:53:56
Speaker
And then they rip it up and then you're just like, redraw it. Art school. it It really gets you a thick hide. Also working in customer service for 20 years. Pass. I think that's the that's the real thing.
00:54:08
Speaker
Yeah. Also part of it Yeah. Part of it. Literally. been on the phone for 20 years what about what about outside of farm rpg you know what's going on with everybody you know what's the what's the tea of life do we have any tea of life what's life's tea what's what's your life tea guys do you want to go first lunar do you want me to do you want me to take it over ah you me to keep going I can keep going.
00:54:37
Speaker
go It sounds like we've all been crushed by our our day jobs. Yeah. So true. You know, getting a little crushed by the day job. But ah outside of that, I have been painting, but like in a cheating way.
00:54:53
Speaker
but I like it. Like paint by numbers? Paint by numbers, yeah. Hell yeah, girl! Yeah, I get these ones from the brand called Shipper, and they're theyre just so nice to do.
00:55:04
Speaker
The numbers on them are so very tiny, one but it's... um I just really like it because, you know, at the end, you can come out with a piece that looks good and you didn't have to understand how you got there.
00:55:17
Speaker
Whoop-on understands how to get there. I don't understand how to get there. No, it's okay. So let me like to try and learn from it. Like, how did they make this like shadow happen by seeing the color that actually goes there? Color theory. It's a real, like, you know. It's really like, it's very complicated when you try to understand it. So I just don't. And I let it figure it out for me. I like that. I love that approach. So relaxing to do a paint by number.
00:55:41
Speaker
relaxing. If you guys like paint by number, I have been doing sticker by number. Oh, I have those. have like eight books of them. Sticker by number books. And you just like peel the sticker off and you put it, and kind like fiddle it in there.
00:55:56
Speaker
I do that with my daughter. But also I kind of stole her book and did one on my own because I was like, this is really relaxing. Oh, yeah. I bought them Super relaxing. And they look good. It fills the same niche, but you can take them with you places. Like I take them on like camping vacations or something. Just sit in a chair, do a little paint by number. I actually had tweezers.
00:56:17
Speaker
I like got like little tweezers out so I could like slide them in a little bit better. And I will say that I got made fun of a little bit for that one. I wouldn't make fun of you. You're just trying to make
Hobbies Beyond Podcasting
00:56:27
Speaker
it look good. You want to have a good end product.
00:56:29
Speaker
That's a good time. That's just like real fun. oh Good. I've been drawing a lot and just for fun. Also, like I've teach i've taught myself how to draw human faces lately.
00:56:42
Speaker
I've been working on human faces, which I've always struggled with personally because I like drawing cute little animals. But I've been working on it. So I'm seeing progress.
00:56:54
Speaker
and i can i can I can see an end in sight where I can potentially draw people in a way that I feel comfortable with. But we like your animal art. that That's not going to stop. That doesn't mean I get mad at animal art.
00:57:07
Speaker
I've been drawing animal art for almost, I don't know, 35 years. Like, that ain't going anywhere. 35 years? I thought you were like 20.
00:57:16
Speaker
I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm not. No. Oh God. I've, I've already turned to dust multiple times. We've gotten, we've gotten to the end of the podcast. This is the part where we go off the rails. This is the part where we just lose track of our lives.
00:57:29
Speaker
And I lost track in the last 39 it. Yeah, but yeah, no, ah ah really just drawing. I've been playing, still playing a little Minecraft every once in while. Minecraft is still popping. My my realm is going crazy.
00:57:44
Speaker
I just have like a realm with a couple of like other artists that like they just go off and build stuff. They are working on insane things that I'm just like, I walk in, I'm like, guys are out of control.
00:57:55
Speaker
Yeah. Sometimes I feel the itch to go back to Minecraft and I just, I don't have time. Every time i want to get back into a game, I'm like, i am the kind of person that just, i'm kind of I'm just playing one thing and I'm playing it like I'm all in, my brain's all in on it until I eventually, something happens and I get busy and I Your brain turns Your brain turns it off.
00:58:17
Speaker
Yeah, the thing that I was in with it. So I was most recently doing that with Stardew. And then something happened where I was busy for like three weeks I couldn't play it. So I never finished my run where I was going to get to completion this time. Maybe I'll go back and finish it. Friendship ended with Stardew.
00:58:32
Speaker
But yeah, Minecraft is one of those ones that I could like, I could go back at any time, but I'll be stuck in it for like... at least a couple months if I do. Yeah, Minecraft is one of those games that I will pull out and I will play non-stop for like three weeks, and then I will put it down and forget about it for like a year and a half, and then rinse-repeat, honestly.
00:58:53
Speaker
ah It's very good. It's like ah it scratches an itch in the brain um that it's just perfect, perfect game design. Love that game.
00:59:04
Speaker
But that's really all I've been playing. i i There's no other games right now not even watching Vinny play games. so watching a lot of anime. Still watching a ton of anime. Just like blasting through one like the last 20 years of anime. i See, here's a thing. i'm an I am a nerd, but like I haven't watched anime in a very long time.
00:59:23
Speaker
And then I was like, you know what? Why don't we give anime another try? And... Here we are. So if you have a good suggestion for a good anime, hit me up. I'd love to hear it because I'm running out of stuff that people have told me to watch. So if you have something like kind of niche and has a few suggestions for you, but we'll probably take that yeahline get offline.
00:59:40
Speaker
But if it has a dub, please i draw while I watch. So I cannot be I can't do subs because I can't read and draw at the same time. Even though I would respect, I respect you for that. People are so hard about that specific thing. I know. so I need to watch some anime. Maybe that'll be, you know what? Tell me what animes get recommended to you because you know, I'm, okay I have not been i watching schlocky TV lately. Maybe I could use like a, um I will give you a list directly after this. I, I, I have them off the cuff. If you also want to list DM me, we don't have to talk about on the podcast.

01:03:43
Speaker
Heck yeah. Get after it. growing Learning and growing every single day. Dude, i feel like you know writing, as with all hobbies, you the more you do it, the better you get at it. i feel like my writing has atrophied a little, like a smidge over last couple of months.
01:04:00
Speaker
But yeah it ebbs and flows. i I don't know how people would write every day. I think i we even talked about this. We did. We just talked about this. We just talked about this. I don't, I understand how you could kind of doodle every day or draw or whatever. I don't know that I could write every day.
01:04:15
Speaker
I just, that's not kind of how it comes out of me. Like it kind of comes in bursts for me. It does. It's not a consistent flow. Join a text based role play. then you could write every single day.
01:04:28
Speaker
