Hi, I co-run No Goblin with Panzer and our wonderful team. Sometimes I stream weird games too.
Chris! I am also a big fan! Thanks for asking! I hope you're doing great!
I'm doing okay! I'm looking forward to talking about our Very Large game sometime and also getting through the final stages of potty training our Very Large son, but the jury is still out on which one will finish first.
Anonymous User asked: If I was a fashion designer and my clothing line included mini frayed jorts for fathers and JNCO jeans for tots, how would this impact the world?
Also, How do you feel about cohost using .beats for timestamps?
on JNCO toddler wear: it is A Thing that was tried, but alas, our society was not ready. I saw a kid at the Safeway yesterday with a full late '80s mullet, so I fear the window on this one might have closed temporarily for now. We'll have to wait until late Oregon Trail/early millennials become grandparents and deplete the selection at the local Carters.

on mini frayed jorts for dads: NOW we're talking. The last frontier of celebrating the dad bod has gotta be getting those cheeks out. Men's fashion is so boring that anything breaking the "shirt and pants" mould is going to be jumped on, regardless of whether it is suitable for society or good taste. Sure, like most things in our post-capitalist society, you'll probably make a bunch of money at great cost to our growth as a species, but you know, that's just the market talking! Start cutting those jeans up stat!

on Swatch .beats internet time: I am a proud Cohost Plus subscriber and I always have .beats enabled. I can't believe people view this website without having the convenience of Swatch .beats internet time. Worth the $5 alone.

so, people say you can befriend crows by giving them peanuts, but what about australian magpies (which, unlike other birds called "magpie", are not actually corvids as crows are)? Also, what if you've left the peanuts at room temperature for six months? this is not a hypothetical question
this is something I have personal experience with.
technically, yes, you can make friends with "Australian Magpies" (which are the real magpies, other magpies should be called "fake magpies"). They're smart and will learn the difference between people who live near them and potential nest attackers, and will also bring gifts if you let them.
however, most Australians have had the absolute crap scared out of them from magpies by the media, painting them as monsters who'll swoop down and kill you if you break eye contact with them. My generation had the Neighbours episode where they had to get ice cream buckets and paint eyes on the back of them (see attached image A). Gen Post-Z has the Bluey episode "Curry Quest" where they face paint eyes to stop them from swooping (see attached image B).
No logic about "protecting their young", "learning people near them" or "they'll break their necks if they hit you" will remove this fear. We had a nest outside our driveway and even though I was never swooped, you'd better believe I rode like hell past that tree.
Therefore, all magpies are evil. It's our equivalent of anti-shark propoganda.
I need more info about the peanuts to make a call on. You're pushing it but maybe fine if they're shell in. I would simply just purchase more peanuts and use the current ones for arts and/or crafts.
Everyone is all “ask me anything”, but I would prefer your hyper-specific asks about areas I have minimal knowledge about. Please ask about gear ratios for 18th century Ferris wheels or best bait for fishing in Plymouth or whatever.
