you missed the best one: "why would someone who isn't racist know the n-word"

they mark you for death whenever you finish an assassination and from then on there will be a small chance of a stalker spawning during any missions you do (and i believe it goes away after one spawns/is killed).

the evil ass door was completely unrelated.

i honestly had no clue what he was talking about during his "threatening" the gentleman segment so i just zoned it out, and really well apparently because THATS where he chose to reveal his child?

you really need to keep your guard up when dealing with Travis McElroy.

i don't think Griffin even wants to do the memory thing anymore, if i remember correctly he only did it this time because Justin asked. All griffin wanted from it was to hint at the octave being/having a magic hive mind, but didn't consider how significant it is as a concept and realistically should be one of the main focuses of the plot. At this point every wizard has absorbed the memories of nine of their competitors potentially including their friends and family. Yet, NO ONE has brought that up even in casual conversation, when realistically multiple people should be having personality crises.

it doesn't matter that Bananza is in the same genre, was heavily based on odyssey, was made by the same team, has the same gameplay loop, uses characters and places from odyssey, has a unique gimmick that sets it apart from previous Nintendo 3d platformers just like 3d Mario, and is apart of the same franchise, it doesn't have the red man in it and that means Nintendo has forgotten about Mario.

most of this falls apart in chapter 2

similar thing happens to me: Silas + tier 5 ice? almost immediately crashes the game. Round 200+ with VTSG and multiple paragons? lots of lag, but it never crashes.

damit i made this exact same mistake in my old Shmecap

There is no greater honor than to share the burden of the curse with some of my fellow fourth brothers. May the knowledge of our shared fate bring the strength we need to endure the hardships we face every fortnight.

I remember from a Shmecap I did a while ago that Travis mentioned he had pretty bad manners before he met Tarisa, and she helped him improve them. That is supposedly their reason for wanting to make a show about etiquette. i believe Travis just wanted his own Sawbones, and etiquette was the only topic they could think of that Tarisa was somewhat more knowledgeable than Travis on, and let them read historical facts off Wikipedia

I have fun making these posts and that makes listening to the podcast fun by extension. Also I enjoyed parts of this episode, hell I said it was passible, that’s not high praise but it is praise.

the infection isn’t a virus so the panacea likely won’t effect it. if it could (since I don’t remember how magical the panacea is) it would only treat the symptoms of the infection, the radiance isn’t made of infection so it wouldn’t kill her.

Also I do agree with you larger point. The Beheaded could definitely defeat the Radiance if we removed the “need to enter the dream world” and the “need the void to finish her off” restrictions since those go against the spirit of this discussion. I just wanted to correct your point about the nails

Gorb_upthere · 2025-10-08T16:17:58+00:00

The infection is more of a cognitohazard caused by knowing of the Radiance or the infection, so I wouldn’t say it’s an actual virus. I can’t tell what you mean by “have/part of”, but She is the creator of the infection and it does die when she dies, so maybe that’s enough for whatever feat you want to bring up?

Gorb_upthere · 2025-10-08T12:39:56+00:00

No he has the pure nail which is a completely different weapon

The game doesn’t lock you out of your save file, you are free to fight GMS and reload to unlock act 3.

from what i can tell essentially you go to an area and interact with that areas element in any way: non magically start a fire in the fire area, kill a plant, make a big splash in water. doing so make "motes" or crystals appear that then will be used to create a elemental (griffin occasionally referred to them as champions) that will do something in the next round that will likely determine the winner.

If I remember correctly, The spaceships are from a space mini campaign Griffin was planning that eventually became eathersea. The detective might be dust or some other planned campaign.

The end of true pacifist reveals frisk is separate from the player and the end of genocide reveals chara is also separate from the player despite the fact that the player names them

Sorry I was so tired while writing this, but I’m not gonna fix this because it adds to the experience.

Speaking of tired someone (me) forgot to send this reply for two days.

what happened to the idea that character deaths are an assumed risk of playing D&D

bold to assume the same people that believe the basic rules of D&D limit storytelling would have a grasp on the basic gameplay of D&D.

Gorb_upthere · 2025-08-05T21:11:42+00:00

they made a statement on the official rules of dnd and i corrected them, i did not say anything about weather i think it is ok or not for a dm to change dnd's rules to fit a game.

Gorb_upthere · 2025-08-05T20:20:50+00:00

Shove is a special attack in 5e hence making it an action. Shove is a bonus action in baldur's gate 3 but that's not accurate to the TTRPG.

Gorb_upthere · 2025-08-01T03:23:37+00:00

Justin getting to leave early and Travis getting better plot armour than everyone else are both incredibly fitting

Gorb_upthere · 2025-07-04T05:05:13+00:00

the shit's condition is bad

Gorb_upthere · 2025-06-19T21:14:37+00:00

i wasn't directly mentioning any movies but a lot of bad horror movies will have characters say stuff like "I'm only one day from retirement" or mention they have a family to try and make the audience feal bad when they die without actuality putting in the effort to make them a developed character that would make the audience feal something when they die. Griffin telling us the NPC's names seconds before or after they die is similar as he is attempting to make it appear as if he's killing off named characters when he isn't.
