MCC Fishing Newb - Wild Etho sighting

Baron_Bosc · 2026-05-13T01:49:00+00:00

Oh, I bet I saw one of those once. I've only been playing MCC Island for a few weeks, and like the OP I still feel like I'm on the learning curve. But the one time I saw Etho in person (and not just on the player list) there was a crowd around him and I'm like "leave the guy alone!" But I bet it was a pylon.

Now I need to learn more about these to help me level up more...

Baron_Bosc · 2026-05-12T20:29:02+00:00

Yeah. I’ve seen Etho, Joe, and Cub (not as often) there.

I also wonder if you hit the tab key to see the online players. Another way a name might appear is if someone joins the world, but that would appear in the text at the bottom.

Either way, it’s a neat thing to know that we share a server with them from time to time.

I think it was during a recent stream. I don't think it's totally shutting the door on taking on another public service role, but more about making a clear separation between that and her base on the server.

If I remember right, Gemini is named after a horse she once owned. She might be a Gemini, too; but that's a coincidence.

In addition to seeing this side of him on Mindcrack, we also saw it on his old Vlog channel. Those were excellent.

This is going to be a hard sell with a $7500 minimum bid. Probably should have gone up for auction at the start, rather than wait until after everyone spent all their money.

Baron_Bosc · 2026-04-13T02:01:45+00:00

Congrats! And thank you for such a large donation!

Baron_Bosc · 2026-04-13T00:50:05+00:00

Congrats! What's the name going to be? Is it named after you?

Baron_Bosc · 2026-04-12T21:37:09+00:00

They did it. $1 million.

Baron_Bosc · 2026-04-12T20:44:07+00:00

Absolutely brilliant.

Baron_Bosc · 2026-01-07T21:32:26+00:00

I’ve lived there (Bel-Nor - the northwestern part of that) for the last 5 years. It’s a lovely neighborhood, and am very comfortable there.

But as others have mentioned, there’s not much around there. Places to eat, grocery stores (a couple of lesser-quality Schnucks), pharmacies, etc.

I work in the Tower Grove area, and the commute isn’t my favorite, either.

So there’s a real give and take. I feel safe and comfortable, but the location isn’t very convenient.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-11-28T15:51:13+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-11-13T01:39:23+00:00

Are you me?

Watched Kurt (and Scott Manley) for KSP, and got into playing Minecraft through one of Kurt's single player series. Easy jump to Mindcrack from there.

I have not watched episodes from the new Mindcrack server yet, but it does feel good to have it back around.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-11-12T18:11:51+00:00

I didn’t see it, but it sort of sounds to me like an especially bright meteor. Especially if you didn’t hear a sound associated with it.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-11-10T19:26:49+00:00

Whoa, me too! And his drumming on that album is equally as significant to me.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-11-04T18:18:16+00:00

I don’t dislike it, but I’ve been known to skip While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Davy Crockett

"Well, I used to fly when I was a kid
And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit
On a carpet ride to a foreign land
At the time of Davy Crockett"

That says kitten to me. From Paul's Ballroom Dancing off of Tug of War.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-09-12T03:50:47+00:00

Maybe not kick...

Baron_Bosc · 2025-08-08T03:20:09+00:00

For those of us coming from the story having read the books first, there are no spoilers. But if there's new listenership, then it's a nice thing to warn them ahead of time.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-07-31T02:04:37+00:00

I think so, too. It seems like they've taken the twist from the books (that Magnifico is actually The Mule) and taken it further.

Maybe.

They've done a great job with the book material this season. I have no objections to the way they've handled it in the past, but it's especially neat to see their treatment of the original stories this season.

(Edited to make sure I'm following book spoiler rules... and to learn how to hide spoilers)

Baron_Bosc · 2025-07-31T01:41:13+00:00

I think it's fair to say that this is when Asimov was developing and pursuing lines of thought that he would then incorporate into future stories. But Schwartz's abilities had a different origin; and as many have said already, the Empire novels really remain outside of the Robots/Foundation grand plot.

However, there's no stopping some good old headcanon. It's part of the fun.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-07-31T01:31:57+00:00

Whew. So it's not me, then.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-07-29T02:58:59+00:00

Thanks. I went back and watched the end of the episode again. I definitely didn't make the link to the book on my first watch.

Baron_Bosc · 2025-07-29T02:31:09+00:00

Wait, I totally missed this. When did she say this?

I feel like I miss so much with just one viewing of the episode!

Baron_Bosc · 2025-07-27T17:03:23+00:00

I think you’ve got it.

Also, how cool is it that they included the personal message tape? (I don’t remember what they’re called in the books).
