    Apologies for the short episode! The dog seems fine for now but going to keep an eye on em!
  • @2la84me
    Cohh i don't think ConcernedApe's stance means or would mean any less just because he is successful. That was his stance when Stardew was small. That would still be his stance if he wasn't successful but because thats ALWAYS been his stance Stardew has been that successful. People can see and respect good will.

    Humble Bundle has been pretty corpo since they were bought out by IGN.
  • @olsongc8422
    So....Dropped Frames covers Evo 203 2025? Also, would love to see the group talk to Max about EVO and the environment.

  • @TheWindwall
    Wooooo! Thanks for the quick upload. Hope Ollie feels better.

    whole situation is comical considering ubi could have just said "it's historical fiction, we thought this would be a fun angle to take, don't think about it so hard" and moved on

    Josh Brolin played 2 characters in marvel movies. went fine

    Concerned Ape: "I won't release paid DLC!" Cohh: "...and here's my problem with that" Dude is just a contrarion these days

    Compound bow archery is like firing a cruise missle. It is extremely satisfying.

    5:35 I don’t know about Gojira. Seems pretty normal Metal. Aggression. Fire and Growls. And riffs for days. 🤷🏼 Though Zekes nonsense on “foreign” sensibility and its superior age, was a bit disappointing. (The French like to think they are that unique, and have others do so. But it really isn’t, and isn’t a good defense. It’s like claiming your cousin is an alien because he speaks Spanish. 🤨 Absurd.) The Dionysian Last Supper thing, was admitted to be actually evoking the Last Supper. And even if they were evoking the Dionysus art piece, the art piece itself was evoking the thing in question. The Last Supper. Which suggests at least in that portion of the performance, all the other possibly occult stuff was actually intentionally that. And is actual contempt for its source material. I mean. It’s a Spade: ♠️ So pearl clutching isn’t a good descriptor there. It was a deliberate insult, and just what was intended. It woulda been better to not apologize that others found it offensive. Which was a lie even then. They wanted it to be offensive, as such things have been used for. Some point out they don’t really believe it like the imagery suggests. Then the religious react as if the provocateurs actually do literally believe what they put on. But you know. It doesn’t matter if they believe it. It’s indiscriminate contempt for the creed one way, or with actual belief in the witchcraft, as those religious reactionaries screech over it. Either way, you’ve chosen your enemy. There’s nothing halfway about it, no matter the interpretation. Say what it is. Personally, I don’t care about the fact of it. I just find it interesting. Meh. We already know the Olympic Organization is pretty corrupt money wise. I like metal, but I could leave everything else out, the way it is. But they are getting into ideological battles contrary to the games purpose. May the best win. (Unless it’s a matter of money or supposed virtue for statu

    If only Japan was this particular about accurate accounts of their more recent history.
  • @Kinslayu
    The cool thing about the fighting game community is you don't have to even play the games, just watching and talking about fighting games is all you need
  • 42:16 glad QA might be getting better overall treatment, they do insane work for so little recognition
  • @spadez011
    I am missing the board in dropped frames...

    -While I agree that entertainment media is not a "documentary," the sad fact is that many people do not know how to draw a line between what is true in an entertainment medium and what is fiction. When the show "The Great" came out, they at least branded is as "occasionally true."

    I had the nes game , Metal Mech. I never got past (what I remember) the first stage. I tried me ass off in that game. Lent it to my friend, and he beat it. So I gave it to him. 😂

    I'm so old I beat Double Dragon at an arcade.

    Mobile games at the Olympics be hilarious. But the way to win is to see which person can waste the most amount of money the quickest. How many skins, buffs, and resources can you buy for 10s of thousands. Diablo immortal had people spending over 10 grand
