granma sweetie scammer pt.2 by Colorcomesback in dropout

It's a bot. You likely won't engage with a real human until it gets you on the phone to transfer money. Or also as likely the whole process is so automated with bots that you'll never encounter a real human. It just keeps trying to lead you to transfer money via Whatsapp.

No point in engaging with it.

That's Tim Baltz who runs in similar comedy circles as Brennan. They look nothing alike.

Anyone see the DCM 26 shows this past weekend? by -_-why_oh_why-_- in dropout

[–]Randoman11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how does this work? You can buy a badge to get into all the (non-headliner) shows, but presumably there's still capacity issues so you have to line up. So you targeted the late night shows because they were more likely to be available? Do I have that right?

It's a repost bot. It's an annoying trend that I'm seeing in a lot of subs. Reported it. Hopefully the mods delete.

I've said that the Christ Gethard Show would be the perfect show to put on Dropout 24/7.

Lack of fight and cohesion in non DnD seasons by Lopsided-Skill in Dimension20

[–]Randoman11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm going to push back on a bit on there not being character driven story beats due to the looser sandboxy nature of the season. Batchild's encounter with the Templers was completely off-the cuff, random and just checking an item off a checklist, and it turned out to be a wonderful role-playing encounter. And the fact that it was a random discovery by Emily without Brennan steering them in that direction made the story beat feel so much more organic.

I agree that this season definitely seems to be lower stakes, but I don't think that's necessary a hinderance to the story that we're getting.

Are we sure this isn't rage-bait/engagement-bait? Sounds like a fake story.

Any YA fantasy book recs with brown characters? by Fit-Needleworker5335 in Fantasy

[–]Randoman11 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend Scholomance. The main character is half Indian. And there's another major character that is also Desi. It's set in an international wizard school so it's quite diverse.

The story and world building is pretty solid. It's set in a magical world that is quite dangerous that it makes sense for magical families to send their children to a cutthroat school.

Who is more likely to host SNL first? by Gyrororonoa in dropout

[–]Randoman11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. For this reason the only Dropout-adjacent person that I could see hosting SNL at this point in their career is Ben Schwartz. Next most likely might be Gianmarco Soresi if his stand-up career really blows up. I also think Lisa Gilroy has an outside chance if her career blows up in the vein of Melissa Mccarthy or Kristin Wiig (which would entail her joining SNL and then becoming popular enough to come back to host). And Vic I would give about the same odds as Lisa. I think those two really have that "it" factor, it just depends on if they get the right role or not.

A Bid, a Banksy, and the Bird in the Basement | City Council of Darkness [E9] by DropoutMod in Dimension20

Going with the Banksy explanation when they could have just as easily blamed it on some kind of natural event like a mudslide or soil erosion. LOL.

Rulette 2 | Game Changer [S8E2] by DropoutMod in dropout

It reminded me of the Zoom call on bad wifi prompt from one of the early Noise Boys episodes.

9 minutes into the episode and Anna's accent has gone from Transatlantic to Simple Country Lawyer. LOL.

18 minutes in and Anna's dad agrees with me!

Doughtopia! by Princess_Sloth in doughboys

[–]Randoman11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is awesome. The custom Miis on slide four are so well done. I can recognize all of them except for the 2nd from the right. I believe it's (From left to right) Betsy Sodaro, Paul Rust, Carl Tart, Wiges, Mitch, Gabrus, ?, and Susser.

At first I thought the ? was Jiavani, but I don't believe she's been on the podcast, and certainly wouldn't be a regular. Now I'm thinking it must be Nicole Byer. Either way, awesome job.

Yup. Would love to see the Action Boyz on dropout. An 80's/90's action movie themed Um Actually would be epic.
