(brandon:) I have decided that addressing it at all would just be adding fuel to keep the whole thing going. I think everyone can make up their own mind about whatever was said.

2024-12-23 19:52:14 +0000 UTC(brandon:) thinking about it - whatever I say will be on the forums not the podcast though. I don't think it's worth getting into a big back and forth.

2024-12-23 19:43:22 +0000 UTCI don't know if I said this already, but I was a bit skeptical when Tim left. However the vibes are so much better with Ash. Everything feels really loose and comfortable like people seem less hesistant to be more outspoken and I am loving it.

2024-12-22 14:43:23 +0000 UTCThis is a sincere question: will there be a rebuttal to the “clarification of context” regarding recent events from the other day? I’ll remove this if not appropriate.

2024-12-20 21:39:16 +0000 UTCAsh had me cracking up during the lightning round, and I'm all for Alex continuing to build upon the rules for the credit rewards. Looking forward to when someone first cashes those in. Frank's answer for question 6 was really interesting, and I had never heard of that before. It's nice they chose to handle it that way rather than just let it happen and leave you guessing. Brandon's EDF explainer was great, and enjoyed everyone getting in on the action haha Feel like NeverDead would be my answer for question 2. It seemed like the general opinion on the game was negative at release, but I quite enjoyed it. The game wasn't too long, and I never got tired of your body exploding apart. Probably doesn't hold up great now!

2024-12-16 18:19:06 +0000 UTCMinor correction: Witchman 3: Wilde Hunt IS thee base game, so no precedent has been set for expansions winning TGA GotY (yet). The expansions were Farts of Blarney Stone and Smoke Bud, Drink Wine
