I am usually not to much into musicals, but I did enjoy the Bloodborne musical they did back in the GT days (I didn't cringe too much when watching it, I sometimes really can't stand musicals).
It looked like a lot of care and production went into that one and it was really well executed.
So I guess I can go for another one of those (but I would still prefer an other format over a musical).

That said, that picture of Ian looks fantastic and I can't wait to see what Ian came up with.
Fantastic tease as well.

mannn, every once in a while one of the allies tweet or say something super wholesome that's completely unrelated to video games that makes me glad I support them. just bumped my pledge up another dollar.

Speaking of the ol' Patreon we are at an all time high in Patrons (I think? It's pretty close), but the actual dollar amount appears to be stabilizing at $50K. To me, this is actually good news as people who likely were pledging at an uncomfortable amount are able to drop to something more sustainable. Eventually they'll grow to a point where no one should ever have to pledge more than they can, although coming to know the EZA fanbase, everyone is very generous.

Yea they are down money wise due to a dropped D&D and sponsor tier. Otherwise they would easily hit 50k by the end of the month. But the patron number hold is important. Once they can steadily hit 9k patrons then they'll comfortably hit that 50k milestone.

If anyone needs a jolly pick-me up, watching the Allies play Overcooked for the first time is pretty good. Found this video the other day in my recommendations and realized I hadn't seen it.



Overcooked starts at 5:11:35.

And now that CDPR/GOG decided to continue to be terrible and used the hashtag as a joke, the Allies have an opportunity to talk about it in an official capacity.

Unfortunately I think this is one of those topics they won't tackle.

That being said, I'm glad the group guys I ended up following and liking so much are a bunch of good guys. For the most part

No way in hell they're touching this one. Can't say I can blame them either, the meltdowns that happen over the mildest shit Damiani and Ian have said in the past... EZA taking a stance on CDPR's twitter would be like armageddon for some.

Oh I know that they most likely won't bring it up. They definitely should but I am someone who thinks that silence on topics like this, while not exactly siding with the oppression, allows it to continue and further marginalizes an already vulnerable group.

Wanting to avoid meltdowns or shit storms is cowardice, as far as I am concerned. Is that harsh over a few tweets? Nah, all this shit matters and these are peoples lives. Stepping up and saying something against this behavior is the least we can do because fuck the people that would throw a fit over this.

Sorry to hear that, Tregard. Might I point you to the sign-off portion of the latest EZA podcast? It is simply glorious.





Lined these up as a playlist and listening to them to get me through the morning, cheers guys :)

I don't think it's a good idea to tackle this one, but who knows if they surprise me again like they did with the crunch topic which I loved hearing them talk about (I didn't think that would be a good idea either).

I am not convinced it was done to do harm. It was a bad idea for sure, it looks really bad on them and I understand why people are upset (especially because of the last sentence), but I would they weren't as stupid to laugh with a whole community. To be clear, I hope this bs Trump is trying to pull doesn't go through as it doesn't make any sense.

But it's a company from outside the US and if I hadn't seen some tweets from the EZA community I wouldn't even know what this hashtag means (I can check the paper today to see if it is mentioned or not, but it wasn't in there yesterday (but the news possibly dropped to late for them to print)).

I honestly think it was meant as a jokey thing (and it was a stupid thing to do by them). I am not trying to defend CDPR as I don't understand why anyone would tweet something like that, but that still doesn't mean they were trying to hurt people (I suspect they did anyway, which of course sucks).

Nah, it's not the first time they've pulled this shit with their Twitter accounts and there was no response from the company last time either, so the person making those Tweets and profile edits is specifically doing it to hurt and they still have a job.

They were told last time and they're still doing it, so it's malicious at this point.

Ok, I didn't know.
That's fucked up. Then most of my post is for nothing. I couldn't believe it, but I guess there are more assholes in the world than I thought.

Ben actually posted on reddit about glassesgate.

Still needs to be done and we're aware. I understand people are concerned and I appreciate that. But I also don't want to give people undue worry. Just personally speaking, I should definitely get my eyes checked, but I don't struggle to see anything, have no issue driving or reading, my eyes don't feel strained or in any sort of pain, etc. I think that people may have been lead to believe that it's a lot worse than it actually is. It's a busy time and hopefully when things calm down we'll make it happen. You will definitely know when it does happen, but as of right now, everything is okay!

Do we know if the Allies are going to do an Extra Life marathon this year? I know they were very keen that they would after missing last year's.

Seriously, unlike most things, you're actually less qualified to talk about your vision than other people. Other people are better about noticing you have bad eyesight than you are.

Yeah, I'll echo what other people here have said. It's worth having your vision checked long before you notice headaches or strained eyes, simply for that cool moment when you experience the difference between what glasses will do for you and how you've gotten used to seeing the world over years and years of slow deterioration.

Or if your eyes held up surprisingly well or actually improved compared to your last check, that'll make your day too and is worth the visit.

I think some people are just afraid of wearing glasses/lenses. It can be seen as a big lifestyle change if you've spent your whole life without it.

Sure, but it's not like you're forced to wear them all the time. Put them on when good vision matters, take them off when it's more important to feel comfortable. My glasses are pretty much indoor wear.

I totally agree. I started wearing glasses only 7 years ago and I had to because I couldn't see things far away. I only wear them when I have to see things far away, like when I am driving or in a classroom. Otherwise, if I am at my desk, my glasses are inside my backpack.

Going to the doctor is something I would be comfortable with my family/close friends nagging me about, but pretty uncomfortable with a bunch of online strangers doing the same. I'm sure we all have things we are procrastinating or unhealthy habits that we wouldn't enjoy being the center point of some discussion online.

I get that it's been talked about directly in there videos so it's not that anyone is in the wrong for discussing it. But It does seem to me like Ben is trying to politely address peoples concerns and end the discussion.

Anyone excited for the tourney tonight? I hope Ben shows off the Allies CAFs he made on his Dojo stream. Should be a good time!

is it weird I really really don't want it to be a musical?
Like I said before, I prefer it to be something else as well because I usually don't like musicals.
That said, their Bloodborne musical at GT was really well done and I will watch it whatever it is. I have faith in Ian's ability to create something wonderful.

It is masterfully teased as well as I am getting hyped for this and I don't even know what it is going to be.

is that the big ian project that was teased? :-o
I am almost positive this is it. Jones was talking about "Ian and Friends" on CoJ and the person next to Jones is for sure one of Ian's friends (I forgot her name).

People have different tastes, that's all. I don't think any of them mean EZA shouldn't produce something like this even if it turns out to be a musical.

I've had glasses since I was 10 and contacts for ~4 years, I'm still kind of shook when I see tiny shit clearly. IMO if you don't go to the optician you're being stupid but I don't know how expensive it is in the US (even then it's worth it why suffer aches and strains)

watching Friend Code

props to Damiani for pulling out the major research about DK TF switch performing well in different areas
lol, but in my mind I was like, hey it's Nintendo....so we also know the actual LTD as well. He might've just forgot it was in last quarter briefing heh.

anyway, good ep so far with the Q&A

I just want to say as a patron for like 2+ years and a trans woman

Fuck yes to Huber and Ian and Kyle publicly coming out for people like me. I presume the others feel the same of course but having it publicly made obvious means the fucking world to me.

Bloodworth

If you could let people know that they are awesome and I literally cried in thankfulness that would be cool

love and fucking respect indeed

Now that patron D&D had its session we got past a sync up point and I could catch up on TTE. Listened to the last 4-5 episodes or so. I absolutely love brad's new character. Every time he speaks with that voice I crack up

I'm a sucker for time skips in any story but the post Tataka arc has been amazing stuff. Focused objective, mystery, trust issues, the npc's not dominating but also have their own objectives. And the allies have their characters dialed in.
