Design Dorks Gaiden: So Mote it Be

And we're back! Sorry this one is so late, between finals and health issues schedules just haven't lined up in a good way, but we're here now to talk about quite an awful lot of things! This has been a crazy month and a half for video game news, and we've both got some fun stories from our respective streams that we're quite eager to tell! I hope you'll all join us!

[@SuperDragonite2172]

The tangents in this one were golden. I think Pyrr took psychic damage.

[@BeanoNintendo]

Pyrr with laryngitis sounds like Richard Horwitz

[@pyrrhickong]

This is the best compliment I've ever received.

[@BeanoNintendo]

The Banana Guards are pretty low on the tier list of important characters. Finn, Jake, Ice King, Bubblegum, BMO, Marceline, Flame Princess, Lady Raincorn, The Lich/Sweet Pea, Tree Trunks, Lemongrab, Cinnamon Bun, Lumpy Space Princess, Fern, Susan Strong, Betty, and Martin all have more plot relevance than them. Banana Guards are like if Toad was never a playable character and just a species that exists to try (and fail) to protect Princess Peach.

[@luisjauregui2197]

It's weird because piranha plant is at least a bizarre enough idea that it sort of ends up working. Banana guards are just dumb and have spears, that's the joke I guess

[@3XHS]

On the topic of taking pills, i used to be pill then water, but my recent set of tablets i have to take for everyday survival leave an awful aftertaste and dissolve, so it's recently become awkwardly balance tablet in lips and then try to take both simultaneously Oh yea and i may have an idea on why howie and sogeking specifically are coming back - you saved them to the character pool, then changed their name afterwards (Sogeking went from "Not 'Sogeking' Usopp" to "Sniper 'Sogeking' King" and "D. Felloh" was originally howie's nickname before it was moved to the last name and "Human" was made the nickname) so, I think that XCOM doesn't count them as active soldiers. Doesn't explain why they're showing up so frequently though.

[@Marshadow01]

IM SORRY THAT I TAKE MY PILLS IN A WAY THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY YOU DO

[@TheDukeofDorks]

Don't be sorry, that entire narrative was poetry in motion

[@Magic_Ice]

#DDGComment. Idk if this will get in before the stream starts lol but What is your least favorite remaster or remake for you personally. Not just one that is buggy or doesn’t work, more one that you just don’t like the changes done to it even if others like them.
