am. Oh, you thought that would mean crystal clear audio quality and an unwavering professionalism? Well clearly you still don't know who you're listening to what we lack in professionalism, we constantly make up for in our on brand inpredictability. Since we last recorded in the garage, u/itsyerdad got a new computer, incompatible with our previous setup, so we had to proverbially duct tape and bird feather this episode together. Lucky for you though, our in-person chemistry makes it all worth it, as we dig into the weird world of NPCs, or Non-Playable Characters, the right wing's latest insult for people who casually participate in Trump-bashing. It's an odd evolution of terms like "Sheeple", and to a degree "Snowflakes", as it requires a certain level of gaming and Internet-lingo familiarity to understand, which may be why it's recently been subject to some strangely authoritative anti-free speech moves from the Internet gods. It's a fascinating topic that we only graze the surface of. Plus, we discuss the art of catastrophic street photography, and discover r/tardtales, possibly the last vestige of a pre-gentrified mainstream Internet. This episode brought to you by Yeller Feller Endeavor 2, out now from Rockstar Games.
