S6 Ep 8MP#72 - Button Mashy Garbage for Weebs

# Ladies and gentlemen of the court of public opinion, welcome to the trial of Ralph Panebianco This episode is super delayed to get edited. In this episode we give a detailed first impression of Final Fantasy 16, as well as break down with evidence why ShillUp is totally wrong about this game. This episode took so long to edit because Dielan went on to finish the game before editing the episode. Just could not put it down.

Who help us kick off the year with a look back at what the best new games we played last year were. We also spend a lot of time talking shit about Wizards of the Coast. This episode was not recorded live as we have made our glorious return to Mumble. Livestreams will resume once @[email protected] figures out how to install Icecast. If anybody's done that before please tag him on the fedi. On the bright side this gives us an audio track per person again, enabling us to edit out noise, voice conflicts, and silences. Should make for a better experience than the last two seasons. Not taking the easy way out anymore! Don't forget to unsubscribe to D&D Beyond

MP#64 - Season Finale

SHOW NOTES This is a brief set of announcements at the beginning of the recording, followed by about 4 hours of unhinged drunken rambling with multiple guests (Including @[email protected] and @[email protected] and @[email protected] - thanks so much for coming!) TL;DR on said announcements: We are going on vacation again this year. Our next episode will be sometime in January! You can find out when exactly we will return by following @[email protected] or joining our forum There's no much to see on the forum right now, but we are keeping it up maybe forever so there will be thriving discussion there eventually No amount of typing on this post about what we talked about this episode will do it justice. If you do choose to listen past the announcements do us a favor and with a modern podcasting app - such as Fountain please make clips of your favorite parts and post them! See you next year!
