With @SargeDaBarge@shitposter.club missing again the show returns with Victim and Dielan. The holidays are finally over and we can move on, but not before talking about how it went.

Rough episode agenda:

  • How did the Holidays play out anyway?
  • What did Dielan spend all those gift cards on?
  • Who the fuck are the people featured on Canadian dollars?
  • WTF is a Razer Kishi?
  • Is xcloud any good?
  • WTF happened between Celldweller and Blue Stahli anyway?
  • Cyberpunk 2077 seems to run fine on every computer we personally know about

Today not only did we stream this episode live we showed our faces over Jitsi Meet instead of just our voices on Mumble. All in all it went pretty well. @SargeDaBarge@shitposter.club was M.I.A. but at least now you know what Dielan and Victim look like if you weren't following their social media already.

Rough episode agenda:

  • A brief mention of Cyberpunk 2077
  • The Game Awards happened and it was really suspicious (why did they not nominate any good games to begin with?)
  • Big Dong Zhongli is out for Genshin Impact and the reddit shithole is really salty about it
  • Twich has banned the blind playthrough category, which was basically the only thing Vic streams
  • Youtube is continuing to censor more content, people need to stop using it asap
  • Dielan has gotten all the peripherals needed to play Clone Hero

Sarge is back but his internet is absolutely shot. Probably the worst time to try out a live show but we made it work by the end. Please forgive some of the growing pains as we try new stuff. It's the same show as ever but this time raw and uncut! Keep an eye on our social media for when we start these livestreams so we can take questions live.

Rough episode agenda:

  • Dielan didn't drink any alcohol at all
  • Sarge is back! What happened with that?
  • Victim beat FF7 for the first time ever on stream – final thoughts on the experience
  • The cast talks over the finer details on why Dielan might want to buy one of the new next gen consoles (or why he shouldn't).

Announcement: The next episode will be streamed live! Follow @dielan@shitposter.club for the final timing and notification of when we go live. Dielan's stream is https://spacecowboy.cc/users/Dielan

We're back and with Sarge MIA again we have brought on another guest from our community – Metalchicken from Melonmancy! In this extra length episode we tell all those D&D stories we promised in the last episode and never got to, featuring drunk Dielan.

If you've been around since the beginning you will probably recognize Metalchicken from the pilot episode – but listen at your own risk the audio is very bad

Rough episode agenda:

  • Dielan drank too much 4loko
  • Victim and Metalchicken tell numerous excellent D&D stories
  • For some reason most of the D&D stories were of the Mutants & Masterminds system
  • Special guest appearance from @ironee212@shitposter.club
  • Dielan tries really hard not to ruin the episode with drunken nonsense and lizard people
  • there are no politics in this episode
  • all in all a great time ahead

No politics in this episode. Only escapism.

In today's episode we bring on long time friend of the show Zerrva! You can typically find him hanging out on our Discord server and he typically has some involvement with all of our ongoing online tabletop games. He also happens to be the biggest Final Fantasy fan in North America as far as we can tell.

We fully intended when we brought him on the episode to exchange D&D stories, but we spent some much time talking about video games that we never made it. I won't spoil the play by play but topics range from Final Fantasy, Borderlands, the fighting game community, and more!

Happy early Halloween everyone, in this episode Sarge is missing in action meanwhile Dielan and Victim shoot the shit as usual. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • That one time Vic did a 24hour charity stream
  • How our Planetside alt account outfit 2RAF just did the very same charity and raised $1500 for charity, congrats to them and everyone who participated. If anyone from 2RAF is reading this we are sorry for warpgating you on hour 16 from our NC main accounts
  • YouTube is at it again with egregious censorship
  • Spooky game trends on Twitch – what's it all about?
  • Hideo Kojima predicted the success of Genshin Impact years ago
  • and much more!

The day after recording this episode it became clear why Sarge missed the recording, he had actually flown to the area where Dielan lives and intended to crash the recording, but he fell asleep. Not nearly as cool as it could have been but it was still pretty awesome.

In today's episode we finally make good on our promise last episode to get back to focusing on video games and other nerd shit. We had a lot to say last episode and didn't get to it all, so we come out swinging shitting on Sony, AAA gaming in general, and beyond.

Topics contained within but not limited to:

  • We have highlights now! Check out bite sized clips of our show over at Odysee or on fedi at @dielan@tube.blob.cat
  • How the fuck are Canadians supposed to afford a PS5?
  • 10grans isn't worth 25 cents anymore.......
  • Ranting about AAA games. How did the bar get so low? It isn't nostalgia
  • Matrix (the chat protocol) really isn't that bad anymore. Dielan explains.
  • Fuck Discord, also join ours.
  • Brief mention of Cards Against Humanity for some reason
  • Victim and Sarge discuss GENSHIN IMPACT. The Chineese action RPG featuring Gacha mechanics that has taken the world by storm. Victim has but double digit hours into this game during the first week (when this was recorded) and lays out the player experience, meanwhile Sarge gives his take on the fairness of the gacha with numbers and math, or something like that.
  • Dielan drinks a little too much Soju while listening to a lengthy explanation of Genshin Impact.

@Dielan@shitposter.club mentions in his rant about Matrix mentions that you should absolutely NOT create an account on Matrix.org's server to try it out. It is a bloated server where most of the accounts are. Which goes against the spirit of decentralization. Instead consider creating an account on blob cat maintained by @mewmew@blob.cat or on iddqd social maintained by @NEETzsche@iddqd.social, or if you are invested in this consider hosting your own server.

If you want to know more about Genshin Impact without playing it yourself (it is free after all) consider checking out Victim's Twitch stream or checkout a totally new streamer, and longtime friend of the show Jimmynoobtr0n.

We're back and we promise to spend more time talking about video games. In this episode we question Victim on his surprisingly deep context on vtubers – which Dielan and Sarge know nothing about. Before getting to that this episode contains but is not limited to:
