I had faith they would pass 50K again, if only barely. Excited to hear about those new tiers at Easy Livin'~

Whoo $50k! Also, Banner Saga 3 review!

I've always been super intimidated by the series, but maybe I should give it a try (backlog willing).

For sure, you just have to make peace with the fact that things are going to go wrong. The achievement for getting all the heroes through is actually pretty revealing as it's called "Guided" - which I take to mean that they don't expect anyone to pull that off without using a guide.

I definitely thought they wouldn't pass $50k again until September. Great to hear!

Patreon is all kinds of screwed up lately, huh?
Good to see they are still above $50k
Screwed up in what way? We were above $50K when charges started, and there were corrections on declined payments from the previous month that hadn't been paid out to us yet. Now this coming month will likely be more of a challenge since we don't have as many past pledges pending and summer is always slow for growth.

Isn't this thing snowballing now? It was my understanding (maybe i was always wrong) that the money shown on Patreon usually got back to normal (reliable numbers) after the 7th or 8th with a few exceptions.
Now it doesn't feel like it's any reliable, they seem to be struggling with cards being declined etc.

This past charge cycle they did run into an increased number of declined cards, which from my understanding, was a result of working with new International vendors, likely in an attempt to reduce additional charges for non-US patrons. Those changes didn't make as big of a difference for us as some other Patreons though. They certainly effected some of our patrons who hadn't been declined before, but the overall number of declines and the rate of corrections is still with the normal range for this time of month.

I'm now confident that 50k is here to stay. Got it for June and July, and now this month there will be some new goals to push us past it and better ensure it will stay at or above.

It's happening. Very exciting.

Congrats on the 50k!

Yeah, this summer is slow with games. Perfect time to dive into my backlog, maybe not so great for EZA.

But 1 more month. Then the onslaught begins......with Spiderman.

I bought Street Fighter V on the Summer Sale after watching the EVO stream. Haven't played a fighting game properly in probably 10 years. I'm pretty hooked already, though, there's way more content than I expected - I guess that's the Arcade Edition update. That and Huber's Arkham hype getting me to replay those games has been perfect for Summer gaming.

BTW in case you didn't know the cinematic story mode is an optional download that you access from the store.

disagree with Ben's point about facial graphics in Octopath.
Obviously more is always better, but I don't think it was a detriment to the game.

Those old games he referenced often didn't have voice acting. So the faces were to help.
But Octopath has VA for most (not all, mind you) of the important cutscenes.

for instance I just got to the end of Hannit's chapter 2, and the voice work accurately showed the characters emotions. I wasn't thinking that I was missing anything by not having a graphic face.

That means 2 months in a row above the 50k goal? That's amazing, I am happy for the allies and also for the community.

Any news in regards of new goals or if they started looking at studio possibilities or anything at all, like when we will hear any details?

New goals at Easy Livin'

Brandon doesn't want to share too much specifically about the studio finding process until they've signed, but the wrong message could be sent out. He cited bidding on a house before the one he and Amanda actually bought and thought they had it and even had a celebratory meal... Before the house was given to the owners friends. So wants to be on the side of caution.

old but Bosman's line about the conflict of interest in the last AFTR is the funniest joke in EZA history.

I keep thinking what sort of set up they have. Something similar to GT? Kinda Funny? Hope they can have a permanent stage and couch set up at the same time like when they used to live stream GT live.

I want EZLive when they get a studio. Get more of those devs and creators into chat.

On the latter point, Jones has expressed a desire to do just that.

This is the dream. Then people who have finished shooting can drop into streams for maximum office vibes.

He said where he got it during a Cup Of Jones episode some time ago.
I believe he got it from a fair (it's been some time since that episode aired, but I am 95% positive it was from a fair), so not sure if it will be easy to find online.

It's a great looking mug for sure.

That Smash stream reaction was really jolly. I dont even care much for the game but Kyle and Jones made it really fun to watch.

Jones confirmed he'll be there for the RDR2 trailer tomorrow aswell

Yeah, I never was the biggest fan of Smash (before somebody shoots my head off again, I liked playing them at a friends place, but as I never had a Nintendo homeconsole I never grew up with them, so I was never hyped on them).

When this one was announced I was thinking of buying it in a sale (although I looks like Nintendo doesn't do sales on their first party stuff, I am waiting on a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sale for quite some time).

I own a Switch since the beginning of the year, so I thought why not (even though I only play single player). But the parts I saw of this Smash stream looked amazing and it's getting me more hyped than I ever was for the game. I still think it's going to be like Mario Tennis where I only play a couple of hours (as those types of games are not the best single player games), but it looks fantastic for sure.

I only stumbled in at the end, but their reactions were fantastic as well.

oh I want to see that Jones stream tomorrow.

I just want some kind of co op system for RDR2 to play with my friend. He loves the game way more than me lol.
I know the chances are low but who knows.

Looking forward to it.

They added co-op missions to the first one, and with heists in GTA Online, they'll probably have something similar.

Has Kyle ever implied how far he lives from Jones? Be there until midnight or later for the podcast, then drive home, get a couple hours of sleep, then drive back at 6:30AM is crazy.

If we are talking about the wooden one he usually always has he has explained a couple times that he bought it at a medieval times type fair

So nice to just wake up and turn on my computer, click easy allies twitch bookmark and see Kyle & Jones live before the smash stream

Unfortunately it can take a really long time to get around in LA despite it being midnight. Even the Bay Area is awful now. Not as bad as LA traffic at weird hours maybe but yeah. California commuting in the big areas is hell. My commute is usually around 1 and a half to 2 hours for just one way.

I was in the same spot you are in and really wanted to get a nice wooden mug like Jones has, and I'm pretty sure I found the guy/people that makes them. I ordered one that looks like a barrel and i've been really happy with it myself. Only issue is that they seem to close their online store whenever they are at a festival, so right now unless you can goto the Maryland Renaissance Festival you won't be able to order anything online.

It has been a good day of easy allies content today. The Smash Reactions stream was rather wonderful and a huge thank you should go to Kyle to getting to Brandon's so early (especially having left only a few hours earlier after the podcast shoot). I am pleased for Kyle that the Smash Direct was so great. Tabletop was hilarious with some classic Huber/Pomper madness. Worth a watch even for those that have fallen off the show. Finally, I caught some of Ben playing Dead Cells. Some pretty fine gameplaying skills shown off there with a pretty sweet necromancy build.

Just watched the end of the group stream. How are you guys not freaking out about the newly announced pokemon tcg tournament! Major props to the person who sent all of those cards. I can not wait, the last tcg tournament was my favorite stream of all time.
