2021-04-05 22:21:46 +0000 UTCTyriq has done a lot of cool stuff! I (brandon) am particularly jealous of UFO 50, a collection of 50 minigames with Derek Yu and others. That one's still pending release.

2021-04-05 17:09:59 +0000 UTCdoesn't look like we'll be getting tim for the special next week, which is definitely unfortunate for a 20th anniversary show, but we can't really change when the 20th anniversary hits I guess! there will be some older writers for sure - also the one you mentioned goes by Azure now (and will be joining)! ~brandon

2021-04-05 17:09:07 +0000 UTCdefinitely got excited when i saw my Q was being asked this ep. The responses were really sweet. Additionally - the guest system has been really nice thus far. I didn't know about Tyriq & Catacomb Kids so that's a nice addition for my to play list.

2021-04-05 15:18:58 +0000 UTChope tim can come back for next week's special... if not it would be cool to hear from some of the older writers like eric-jon, etc, etc. it would be fun to know what everybody got up to afterwards. :^)
