this podcast was genuinely one of the funniest, everyone had so many good punchlines

[@annedrieck7316]

Family friendliest of podcast makes me wanna grab peach by the yoshi

[@Bazzickles]

new set looks good but I think the Arcade set will always be my favourite

[@poopsiepup1192]

comfiest times. Back when they could fuck around to music during the countdown to black friday.

[@Bazzickles]

@@poopsiepup1192 Nothing will beat Shawn turning off all the machines and lights when the show ran for too long lol

[@ditw16]

I'll miss the pirate cove set. Shawn worked so damn hard on it and it was comfy.

[@selfdribblingbasketball9769]

yee it didn’t seem to be there very long, but that’s how the boys play it

[@FazerGS]

I do too. This new set feels like they're talking an a doctor's office waiting room. The other one is so cozy.

[@cleongivergies1056]

they look very uncomfortable in this set

[@burkedigital]

going from the couch/armchair pirate setup to the white motif is such a stark contrast

[@bagingo]

I'll miss the pirate set. The episode that got me into the podcast/personal channels/general Internet Soldierdom was the debut of the pirate set! Can't wait for this new era!

[@julesgrapel1284]

True friend simulator. They even added a flashing black screen once in a while to simulate blinking. Feels just like you're there. Flawless

[@Stradlverius]

Take a shot for every time Garret finishes a sentence without being interrupted. Gonna be real thirsty.

[@birth0fserpents]

i legit thought the new set was a Nerd Crew-esque skit

[@ravenkliff]

very cool

[@souvlaki9951]

The figs will take over

[@RollaJones]

Derrick being the whole restaurant's favorite customer is what we should all strive to be.

[@cartoongrump]

14:50 love that they actually placed a mid-roll there, not many people use that feature

[@Antichthon]

Yeah I hear Garrett say the word bussy and I know this is gonna be a good time

[@nikolaizablockis3152]

RIP to the best podcast set

[@kaikeydes]

They cast justin beiber in the cowboy bebop reboot psyche.

[@LancerFFS]

Those shitty little shelves you're sitting behind need to go boys. You need a legit desk with leg room if you're going that route. It's stressful looking at how uncomfortable it is to sit there with no room for your knees lol

This deserves a return fire (born on a beautiful morning)

[@StrawberryDonutKing]

Maaan, I don't know how to feel about this new set up. On one hand it looks sleek, well decorated and thought out. But that couch feel was really something on it's own.

[@Trevendor]

Derrick’s dedication to keep the podcast to an hour always makes me laugh. Everyone else is always like “bro, it’s not a big deal, we can be over an hour” and then he tries to end it close to an hour every time. Definitely best when he ties the whole show together like he did tonight.

[@embracethe12]

Maybe it’s related to how since it’s so brushed off every time because Johnny will take of it that it can come off as insensitive to Johnny. Derricks been vibing closely with Johnny ever since he joined. I remember podcasts in the 400s Derrick would always defend Johnny or compliment him a lot. I think derricks push on keeping the podcast 1 hr is due to standing up for Johnny. Even if Johnny has no problem with it (as far as we know)

[@nuklearman8738]

It's funny because I've been going backwards through their podcasts and I'm in a period where there's a lot of tension between Derrick and Shawn because Shawn was getting grumpy whenever the podcast went over an hour and that really pissed Derrick off because he didn't think there should be a limit on how long they go for 😂

[@Lonequacker]

The audio is 1 second delayed compared to the video. That means you need to reshoot an entire new episode and Johnny needs to re-edit the whole thing obviously.

[@MrRom92DAW]

I think Rachel hooked them up with a good deal on cameras but now all their video is in PAL

[@TheBedtimeBoy]

I know the new set isn’t great but this is a great episode so far - I feel like by sitting at desks everyone is very locked in. It’s making for very good conversations and overall a tighter episode

[@slothman1016]

No negative comments, please

[@souvlaki9951]

I agree, I just hope the design gets adjusted more characteristic of that Mega64 style like these previous sets, but otherwise the tighter placement with everyone helps with the energy

[@sumguy3687]

Awesome spring set, just in time for Halloween & Winter.

[@sumguy3687]

Actually you know what. After watching the episode. This is a blank canvas. You can do anything and light it differently as time goes on. Can easily change the mood & feel of this set. I know I was sassing, but Damn. On Second thought hella good pick. You got a block of clay you can mold any way you need. Also the "desks" are a smart ass idea. Having a space on podcast to display merch.

[@nvrndingsmmr]

The timing of the ad at 14:55 was spectacular. Bravo.

[@Krillinish2]

I’m only 40 seconds in but this is pretty good so far.

[@ethicalcheeze1407]

All I had to hear was Derek say "Obama fingerbanged a chick behind a Popeyes" to laugh out loud

[@TheOldYoungOne]

Seeing these IKEA units being used as their desks is making me uneasy

[@DonutSwordsman]

The corporate Convo was awesome guys, Really laid it out

[@glacier_official]

I dig the neon sign, Shawn's a good glassblower

[@papermario2006]

tbh, Aside from the neon sign, I'm not feeling the new set at all. It looks uncomfortable and generic, I prefer the darker, cozier themed sets.

[@Spenerico]

It has been said alot but the new set really doesn't suit the show.. Its not comfy! Couldn't be doing a comfy cast on that

[@yjaved01]

I love the "previously on mega64" intro. That was great!

[@charlesw7397]

I spent the majority of 2020 in downtown Denver. The homeless situation kinda ruined the area for me. Taking my dog on 3 walks per day meant that I encountered around 5-10 homeless people per day. Usually 1-2 high/crazy/screaming/threatening ones, 3-5 that just kept to themselves, and then 3-5 that asked for change or cigarettes. I was always on edge because of the crazy ones and it made me want to completely avoid all homeless people. Sometimes someone would come up to ask for change or cigarettes and if you said that you don't have anything, they'd yell at you or call you a piece of shit. One lady asked for cigarettes (I don't smoke) and she threw like a soda on the ground next to me and called me a bitch because she was so mad. There were 2 in particular that I encounter often however and they were extremely kind. They'd ask for change and if you said no, they'd say "no worries" and "have a good one man". I encountered them often enough that I started carrying change and spare bills in my wallet to give to them when I saw them and they were always extremely thankful. It's really sad that homelessness is such an issue but the mean one's give them all a bad name. Almost everytime I saw a homeless person ask someone else for change, the person would completely ignore them (which I don't blame them for - some will follow you around if you give them any attention) but I think people would be much more willing to give if they were more like the 2 nice ones that I encountered.

[@sarahlex4620]

Close camera needs white balanced.

[@joed2749]

blame amateur hour johnny

[@sarahlex4620]

@@joed2749 I’d let Johnny lay track 👀

[@Maelthorn1337]

Iiiii think the white balance is okay. It seems too saturated though, and the ISO setting is a bit too high. Which is weird because it looks darker than the other cameras. Maybe it's just a shitty camera. O:

[@Maelthorn1337]

Actually I think I'm losing my fucking mind. It feels like it's changed colors over the course of the podcast...

[@annedrieck7316]

@@Maelthorn1337 its part of mega64's viewing experience

[@CyborgNinja357]

Great episode! Really digging the new set up. Love all the previous sets too, the feel they all had, but this new set / more up close feel and new camera setup is a fantastic evolution. All 2020 and on ya'll have provided great and dynamic content. This following The PAX keynote makes me so happy that you guys are rocking harder than ever, can't wait for the live show in Chicago! 🤘

[@MrXxsnipesXx]

is that set comfy? There was just something about the pirate cove with the big chairs and the couch that made it seem much more comfy and cozy to sit at for the amount of time that you do

[@normallyscott]

I'm not sure I dig the new set, there are a lot of colors that don't compliment each other, but than again I am more a audio listener so whatever.

[@kholt1776]

11:59 perfect unison. All the rumors about them haring each other cannot be true!! Happy day!!

nah, its just generic.

When Derrick was explaining the homeless story I thought he was actually saying to the guy, "I don't carry cash on me because I do credit card only, because I like track my POINTS, get My REWaaaaaRds..". Either way I'm gonna start saying that

I appreciate Shawn's take on how to respectfully engage with unhoused people. You are very much entitled to your assumptions: They'll spend money on booze & drugs, they're there by choice due to bad life decisions, etc, whatever other nonsense, but here's the thing: If you treat them like lesser & decide not to support them as a result of your assumptions, that's *on you.* You're opting to lord your financial privilege over them due to assumptions you've formed for no other reason besides prejudices against homeless people. It's refreshing to hear Shawn say something like "It's their money as soon as I give it to them." Unqualified support is a core tenant of mutual aid.

Im the applebees customer base. Me and my friend go there every few months, its the only time me and him go out to eat. They got decent boneless wings and decent chicken strips, and going there is just something we've done for a decade

I had just about the same experience as Derrick giving water to a homeless guy on a super hot day. I passed by him a couple of times earlier and he was so nice to everyone, but once I handed him the bottle of water his demeanor changed. I don't know if he was insulted or what, but I had to walk away quickly after that.

Speaking of going cashless. My wife and I went to Allegiant Stadium for Summerslam. We would never buy food or anything aside from a beer or 2 as a splurge at events because we didn’t have a lot of money. Being in a better spot now we decided why the heck not, for convenience we’ll just eat there. Within 30 minutes their Internet went down and because they are cashless couldn’t sell anything the entire event. They were just handing out water and diet Coke’s.

[@TheNamekianClown]

You know its funny that people think Splatoon 3 is so soon after 2. I thought so when it was announced as well. Then you realize it will be 5 years between them by the time it comes out.

The 7-11 app kicks ass. You get free stuff and in some locations, you can scan and go.

[@El-Burrito]

Oxford city in the UK has a kind of similar homeless problem. My girlfriend at the time was a frequenter and had learnt to deal with homeless people by basically clutching her purse, looking straight ahead and not breaking stride. I would kind talk to some people, but one guy got really pissy with me for walking away (cause my girlfriend was wanting to move on) and he started shouting at me. I don't owe that guy my time and at that point I kind of thought fuck it, my girlfriend had the right idea. I'd love to give people money if it makes them happy, making other people happy makes me happy. But if people are gonna be shit about it, fuck 'em. If you don't have cash, they'll ask you to walk to the nearest ATM with them and get some money out. Like fuck no is anyone doing that
