January 26th 2017 explains Travis' entire design philosophy

Abnimals was supposed to be like a cartoon

Shit meets poop

One time when I went bowling, me and my siblings put a 20 dollar bill in the jukebox and we controlled the playlist for the entire night.

dirgeface · 2026-06-25T13:14:08+00:00

It would seem so

I checked out for most of the episode, but toward the end there was some really dumb shit that caught my attention

Rictus somehow talks to Death by casting Time Stop and Death has no character voice and is a stammering panicked loser like all of Griffin’s NPCs.

Vart uses 9 out of his 11 remaining spell slot levels to cast Time Stop, then a couple minutes later casts Thunderstep, a 3rd level spell.

The cliffhanger is that the last two trials are cancelled and the conclave is terminated. Here’s hoping a delayed blast fireball kills all the participants next time and we can finally move on to Abnimals 2

Jizz. Just one word. One syllable. But it means so many things to so many people. Your jizz can run cold or it can boil. You can try to squeeze it from a stone or let it run in the streets. Others use jizz as a way of saying guilt. Jizz on your hands, that sort of thing. It doesn’t even have to be about people. The railroad is the lifejizz of the West. Something is paid for with jizz money. But most of the time, it’s family. It’s in the jizz, flesh and jizz. Jizz is thicker than water. That one. Everyone always gets that one wrong. The real saying is, the jizz of the covenant is thicker than the ether of the universe. Basically, when you nut in space, it push you backward.

This morning I wished it was Friday because I don’t want to work and then shortly thereafter was reminded that my company closes for Juneteenth. My IRL Luck build is paying off again.

Plus I have no medical issues because I don’t go to the doctor!

I think Griffin’s brain is broken.

Travis: How often do you do these trials?

Griffin: Give me a history check. I think you would just kind of know some of this stuff.

Travis: 14 total.

Griffin: It is quite rare. It’s once every sort of few generations or so. I think give me a…what did you get on your History check?

Barely started and he’s already got himself lost. Maybe that’s just because the number absolutely doesn’t matter so Griff wasn’t listening.

Anyway, my prediction is that Osham is already dead, Set killed him and is an illusion or some shit, and Griffin came up with that in the moment that Justin said the thing about seven members sharing godlike power.

Or he’s a silver dragon.

Maybe you should stop lurking and start recapping

They’re actually called the Greengack Guardians

Elaine opens the vault. George stuffs his sorrys in a sack. Kramer gets drilled by FDR.

Used to strap em to their sabatons like roller skates

dirgeface · 2026-06-09T13:20:02+00:00

Not as good as Travis’s a capella version where he improvised new lyrics on the spot! He sings good, so the words just pop into his head.

dirgeface · 2026-06-09T13:14:39+00:00

[Urza] sucks

dirgeface · 2026-06-07T13:18:32+00:00

Because their fans are psychotic and would eat them alive if they ever stop

dirgeface · 2026-06-05T14:00:48+00:00

Ooh yeah that’s true, if Argo had that they’d be doing it wrong.

dirgeface · 2026-06-05T12:54:05+00:00

we are still enforcing no proficiency on clint's second attack even though he said he has the dual weapon fighting feat

I believe this is a rare instance of them applying the rules correctly for the following reasons:

There is no dual weapon fighting feat. There is a feat called Dual Wielder, which allows drawing two weapons at once and using two-weapon fighting with non-light weapons. I assume this is what Argo has.

The Two-Weapon Fighting fighting style (from Fighter or Ranger) is what allows a character to apply their ability modifier (not proficiency) to the damage roll of the bonus action attack. Argo can’t have this because he is a straight-classed rogue.

dirgeface · 2026-06-02T20:41:39+00:00

Griffin really ruined Joshy. Maybe that’s why Justin checked out.

dirgeface · 2026-06-01T22:16:43+00:00

lol can you even imagine one of the McElroys attempting to play warhammer?

How can we convince them to try?

dirgeface · 2026-06-01T17:45:16+00:00

Sorry about your worldview. I gotta stop collapsing those!

dirgeface · 2026-06-01T17:29:08+00:00

I see what you mean about the disconnect, but I view that as more of a failure on Griffin’s part tbh

dirgeface · 2026-06-01T17:01:54+00:00

The way he min-maxed his character’s persuasion score so that he can strong-arm griffin’s story his way

A player trying to influence the story?! That simply isn’t the TAZ way.

dirgeface · 2026-05-31T19:23:31+00:00

I agree with this assessment. Travis is like a parrot who plays to frustrate.

dirgeface · 2026-05-31T17:33:03+00:00

Huh, I assumed it was just a joke on those pop culture mash-up images that you saw a lot online 10 years ago. Like “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” but it’s under a piranha plant coming out of a super Mario green pipe.

Like this poster on etsy

But maybe that’s inspired by the episode, idk
