The “Fucking Bullshit” song will always be famous, I’ve got nothing else on this show 1:10:04

Me when I call Sorcery Fight "Jujustu Kaisen" 👘

I've recently been watching/enjoying Senpai is an otokono, and I was expecting to see it here, you might want to give it a try.

Hey now, you could just as easily have seen that by beating the game three times. I'm a little sad you don't unlock new cards for each character's mix by seeing their memories, even if it's only one or two. I like watching the card pool expand... then again, you probably don't, so.

Drake, in this game, is precious and perfect and has never done anything wrong. Your ship deserves to be on fire

Apologies if this comment ends up being rambling, but first off, I want to say that this was a great video and I'm saying that as someone whose favorite ttrpg and setting is Exalted (3e/Essence only). I love it for some of the reasons you brought up, that it's just a setting with a lot of cool bullshit, and it's a game where your character is powerful and someone who matters. I also love it a lot as someone who's part Asian American for being a game with a setting that isn't the standard euro stuff, and Exalted 3e is a rare piece of fantasy media that I didn't feel was orientalist or otherwise racist, something I was very pleasantly surprised by. Of course it helps a lot that the setting and most Exalt types are getting/got big rewrites and overhauls. But with that said, I'm sure if I had checked it out back in the 2e days I would've absolutely hated it for a lot of the reasons you mention. Everything I've read and heard from that edition just seemed to be filled with orientalism nearly on par with Kindred of the East and classic White Wolf edge for the sake of being edgy and shocking, with added weird stuff about eugenics and bad mechanics. And my impression of Exalted 2e isn't helped by the fact that its diehard fans tend to be edgelords crying about how the game went woke and soft in my experience. Also "mistaking mentioning taboo things as wielding them well" is an apt summary of a lot of White Wolf stuff.

I was trying to find info about Treasure Mountain today and found your video! Remembering the anxiety I got playing Operation Neptune as a kid is crazy. Treasure Cove occupied so much of my time once. I wonder how they were packaged when my parents bought them, because I remember some but not others in the series.

love these little goobers

Tooth sells an awful lot of +1-to-Storm-counts

"It's merely great, not completely cracked"

Isaac is very good sheeb :)

They really did Isaac a solid when they patched in Radio Repeater for him, that thing's a beast.

Yeah, that *is* a big crystal.

Cobalt’n it

Lurker here, First of all I'm always happy to see these playthroughs, second of all I went and played cobalt myself and uh AAAH GRRAAHHHH!! (I cried) (thermal battery is my favourite cheese card btw)

Heck yeah C. L. R. James!

"Imagine if you just measured the distances in SQUARES! A beautiful technology that was gifted to us in fourth edition, and that fifth edition threw right out the window!" So many good lines from you both in this, and while I've got some quibbles with some of it, can't fault you on a lot of these. :)

Just 5 ?

Love all your thoughts here! I think the only quibble I have is that I think Starstruck's use of hacked 5e actually worked well for their needs...at least in combat. The Battle of the Brands had them firing on all cylinders, and ship maintenance both had the players invested and made for good drama...but even with that, the edges of the system chafed outside of combat, and "the best 5e combat I've seen" is sort of a backhanded compliment now that I'm writing it out. I don't want to undersell how much I enjoyed the positivity (and well-considered critique!) in your discussion of the good seasons, but I really appreciated your thoughts on Junior Year.* That was one of the few seasons I struggled to keep up with, and a lot of what you said resonated with issues I'd struggled to articulate. *Americans _also_ use numbered years, I genuinely have no idea why we also have the super secret code words for freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years (9-12). (Also 👋from LRRcord. I had had to rewind to make sure I heard you right when you mentioned the Trapp being D20's Beej)

Your avatar makes you look like a troon.

whyfore at DO we create creature that capable of pain tho?

Dizzy's second memory was the moment I had this game move into the special place in my heart.

"shut up Drake" Drake is so cool.

Riggs Nonsense...

I'm a rather fast reader but its frustrating that you klick away the textboxes so fast.

i love cobalt core so much

Books! That's a great Christmas present!

I'm actually kind of surprised how powerful some of those starting cards are, though I guess everything's pretty good when it's free.

I really resonate with Fox's point that one of the appeals of fantasy as a genre is being able to escape the ever-present cultural miasma of Americana, but also as someone who thinks way too much about D&D (all editions) I have in recent years become extremely cognizant of the fact that even without the Fantasy High style "putting D&D fantasy into a setting dripping with Americana" (which is surprisingly popular: back when Drawfee was still on College Humor their whole "D&D meets Drawfee" campaign was very much D&D fantasy meets modern Americana, and their GM Caldwell Tanner has gone on to create a D&D podcast in that very same style! But I digress) D&D is a deeply American game. Anyway this is turning into an essay and I am very much a proponent of the "This comment you left should have been its own Post" school of thought, so suffice to say I'm really enjoying listening to you two talk about actual plays!

Wdym? starstruck is one of the only seasons where the mechanics feel fully in line with the tone of the story and all of the battles are actually a blast to watch!

As someone who got was the main character on Dimension 20 twitter one day for saying that The Bad Kids went full shithead cop mode in Fantasy High Junior Year, the rant about that season was very cathartic.

Mid-90's is when I became aware of "the game" - it definitely predates 4chan, something awful, and possibly the internet.

Talen... Mon-star is from the planet Brimstar, he was incarcerated on penal planet 10, he absorbs radiation from the Moon-star of limbo and becomes the powered up version of Mon*star. just saying there is not much of a difference sure, but it is not as bad as your making out.

I don't know, I kind of love the game for how weird it is. I was once at a restaurant waiting for my table when another customer announced that he'd lost the game. After I turned to give him a dirty look for making *me* lose, we shared a laugh. It was a nice little moment with a total stranger.

Yeah, I'm too drawn in by neat character mechanics to really thin my deck out much, but it sure makes for snappy runs of this game at least.

Ah yes, this Highschool (or even elementary) BS. Idk why this channel was suggested under vlogbrothers, but it looks interesting.

I use a Game Genie, so I win!

Ahhh, big crystal.

This game looks exactly like my sort of thing and the designs are so cute. Thank you for playing it with your signature Talen and Fox "Goblin" Lee charm <3

"This game rules" Agreed

Well gee, now I'm looking forward to some Drake runs. Especially because she gets all chatty with the other pirates.

Happy to be a part of this exploration of a FRUSTRATING STATIC-STASIS EXPERIMENT OF A CARTOON that felt like 60 minutes inside of 22.

This is a great video and I'm not just saying that because of the shout-out at the beginning but because this is a great demonstration of that Dynamic you two have :)

Your funny and I like this video.

I just got linked this and I’m so glad you got into the game like you did. Your understanding/interpretation actually helped me understand the game better myself, so thank you!

And a Merry Dog Movie to one and all.

Dog happened, great video.

Aw, great to see it! This was one of my favorites of the year too - I loved all the generated comments for things like artifacts triggering, or when they all rooted you on for doing huge damage. Sunshine Heavy Industries is a prior game from the studio which was completely different aside from the art style - you were designing spacefaring objects with a CAD-like interface under constraints like "this is a solar power station, so shield it from the bottom and it can't be too tall". The writing was good there, too.

YAY!

Oh gosh, it's so rare to find someone else who likes 4th ed. I miss that game so much, I wish I had had a chance to play more of it but my d&d group at the time ran to pathfinder saying it "fixed d&d" and I didn't find many groups for it. And I really dislike 5th ed, that edition is so boring to me.
