Rumor has it Rocco sent Derrick to the virtual realm, but with Vision Basic, Derrick didn't stand a chance

[@CallMeQkef]

Honestly very big of Rocco to empathize with the gossipy fans. Not just outright being annoyed by all that and dismissing it, I sure as hell would

[@enshk79]

I’m pissed off at those fans because it’s obvious it really bothers Rocco, to the point where he even says it’s stifling creativity. That’s infuriating to a fan like me, who wants more than anything to see Mega64’s creativity flourish. The ONLY thing I’ve ever complained about is just about the type of content, which I will never complain about again. It’s never been a legitimate complaint either, just selfishly wanting to see more of the things I personally prefer. For that, I truly am sorry. The last thing I ever want to do is add to the cacophony of annoying and ignorant fans! Mega64 doesn’t have to release another piece of content, and I would still treasure and adore them just as much, being forever grateful for all the brilliant, unique, masterful comedy they’ve already created for so many many years!! #mega64LIFE

[@flamingbunnyrabbits]

Over the last 700 episodes, mega64's members have been very candid and honest about certain important things. Some things are private, some are livestreamed. I would be completely shocked if any of them quit/retired/got fired from Mega64 without them making a statement on the podcast. I've always felt like the podcast was not always derricks favorite part, so I'm glad he's getting to do what he enjoys behind the scenes, even if I do miss his presence.

[@bricypoo]

I saw the reddit blowing up because of Derrick being out of the intro of the podcast and was honestly just confused. Derrick has communicated pretty clearly over the years, that more in-depth creative projects are his passion. Derrick had pretty clearly (to me) been phasing out of the podcast until it was announced he was taking a step back from it. Removing him from the intro makes sense both since he's currently not wanting to participate in it, but also because leaving him there could communicate to many that he is coming back on "soon". Saying all that, as someone who doesn't interact in the community much that people like me notice all this stuff and just don't worry about all the weird over analyzing that it seems some people in the community tend to.

[@Grapefruit5000]

Sitting around and talking to your friends is so much hard work. Hope he'll recover from it.

[@newperson_sameoldmistakes]

@@Grapefruit5000the “killers of the flower moon” situation Rocco brought up was basically the community’s reaction to him sarcastically giving Hades a 0/10. I wouldn’t want to do this shit if every opinion I has was scrutinized and brought up by hundreds of people until I address it. Also, they see each other every day as is for the past 20 years: he doesn’t have to do shit for you! sorry your parasocial relationship isn’t validated by someone wanting to do their own thing.

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

ROCCO KILLED HIM BECAUSE HE WAS TOO WOKE

[@caikq]

@@newperson_sameoldmistakes Nah, Derrick loved to provoke the fanbase but hated getting any push back. One of his last appearances on the podcast had him asking for Shawn to read the top 10 albums in the "albums you have to listen before you die" book just so he could talk shit about each one, he was a "provocateur" with too much ego. It is sad cause he's really talented and funny but pretending he's this poor victim that the fanbase mistreated is BS.

[@Grapefruit5000]

​​@@newperson_sameoldmistakes I watch this channel very sporadically. I didn't even realize that he was gone until this comment mentioned it lol.

[@soyuz_blues]

One time Derrick uploaded a new music video he directed and I wanted to support it and boost it's visibility so I was going to leave a comment but I didn't really have anything to say so I just wrote "DERRICK GETTIN' HIS DIRECT ON" thinking it would be ignored but then it ended up being the most liked comment and then eventually it got deleted. I just wanted to take a moment and say sorry bout that.

A lot of podcasts, the usual "big" events (Olympic, Mega64 Expo, Hell Fest, etc.), and merch.

[@virtualnelly55]

I really understood Rocco's point, I think he did a pretty good job of expressing something that I think most people who comment dont bother thinking about. I had a similar thought last time dallas was on, he comes on once in a while talks for an hour or so and suddenly the next two weeks are 3000 people ripping into him. Obviously there should be some awareness and responsibility when speaking to a wide audience, but unless someone is saying some truly vile shit, they dont deserve to get ragged on at such an absurd volume.

[@MrRom92DAW]

I thought that was pretty insane and honestly made me feel really disconnected with the fanbase. I really felt bad for the guy. Sometimes I’m shocked at how many angry/unappreciative people there are in the audience.

[@JeremyCoolDude]

While I'm sure that like 80% of the Derrick comments/emails are mostly people indulging in the bit, and while I've really enjoyed Derrick being on the podcast, when I think about if I were in his shoes, I'd get bored of doing the same thing year after year, too. Doesn't matter how great my friends are, I'd be fuckin bored after YEARS getting together each week goin "yeah, playing this video game still. Yep, saw this movie that everyone else saw" etc etc. Think it's great that Derrick has been doing his own thing. All of the special livestreams have gotten cleaner and better, more and more well produced since Derrick has shifted his focus to non-podcast content.

[@polishedpebble4111]

Mega64 isn't media, it's "social" media. That behind the scenes, friendship simulator is part of the "contract". From what I'm hearing Derrick just wants to stick to traditional media.

[@ClownCar666]

Don't be a perv

[@TheSeaBase]

I will miss Derrick, but every side of this makes sense. The fans def been pulling on Derrick especially. I do think its okay to miss him too, he was a big draw to the show combined with Rocco. I prolly will tune out more since he's gone, but I won't demand he comes back either. Thankful for the whole team we already have over 600 episodes with Derrick.

[@NameIess1ne]

[@ViperOfMino]

Glad Garrett brought up Cyberpunk. I always say "if we're living in a Cyberpunk-style corporate controlled hellhole we might as well have the cool ass technology of Cyberpunk too."

Only a matter of time before we get to contacts as Shawn said, and then from there Kiroshi optics and mantis blades

[@HOTEPSTEVEMARTIN]

This was legitimately the hardest I’ve laughed in ages. Thank you boys 👍

[@Rocket_Pig]

Rocco is completely right about how a podcast isn't just a one hour a week commitment, any offhand comment can follow you around for long after the fact. I even think he undersold it, which was exemplified by the chat starting to say "Derrick getting his drink on," something from years ago that Derrick himself has publicly stated he's sick of hearing. To use another internet person as an example, Dingdong, formerly of Oneyplays (who was a guest on MegaStrange) has had to address on his stream multiple times about how offhanded comments he made in a video from upwards of seven years ago still follow him around. But the video was recorded late at night and he didn't even remember saying them the next day, let alone years later (see: Shawn and the baby man). Remember when Derrick was frustrated by his experience with Hades, and made an exaggerated outburst that the game was a 0/10? Clearly he didn't mean that literally, yet the comments from the video were all about that and he had to address it in the next podcast. I don't blame him at all for wanting to step away from dealing with that nonsense and focusing on making creative things.

[@Deminese2]

I kinda get that but that just sounds like the same shit you deal with irl friends. You say something funny or whatever and you get ribbed on it by your friends and family for literally decades. don't see that much of a difference.

Eternally jealous of Rocco having all the Beatles: Rock Band DLC.

[@PrototypeXt3]

Me, being the big ass nerd still neck deep into Rock Band 4, playing Rivals every week was slightly cringing at the discussion towards the end hahaha. I totally miss the glory days of Rock Band too, but RB4 did just receive its very last weekly DLC release two weeks ago which is insane. It’s totally still around though and there are weekly challenges released (although the rewards for playing them are rehashed from past seasons) Unfortunately Fortnite Festival is the “future of rock band” as harmonix put it, but there are rumors that guitar hero might be returning soon. And the new PDP guitar is compatible with Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4! The resurgence is hopefully happening soon. If Fortnite really does reach the quality of rock band I’ll finally launch it for the first time after preordering it lmao.

[@PrototypeXt3]

Also, just cause I’m still heavily into this and like giving context lmao, harmonix isn’t dead, and unfortunately the new rocksmith is absolute garbage - and licenses have expired for Rocksmith 2014 (big sad, but custom (modded) songs are where it’s at for that) Also, Garrett should look into AudioSurf 2! It’s a rhythm game that uses your local library (and SoundCloud!)

I had to unsub from the reddit page because the idiots on there wouldn't shut up. I miss Derrick on the podcast, but I got older eps to look back and remember some great moments.

[@rhenevers5229]

If you follow him on other social channels; he's definitely keeping himself busy with lots of other projects. Comic book, performing on stage, and working with the San Diego film awards.
