#Aunty Donna podcast

[coolzeke]

can you imagine how much smarter i'd be if i spent this time listening to educational podcasts instead of three dudes in their 30s yelling at each other

[manwholovescabins]

very much a fan of the recurring “if you’re just tuning in” on the aunty donna pod

[celestialmazer]

"she left you, didn't she? for a man that's exactly the same"

zach's ability to come out with devastating lines in an otherwise deeply silly riff remains unparalleled

[shevr]

favorite aunty donna sketch?

wah h have i mentioned aunty donna somewhere lately or are you just making that guess on me or is that just coming back at me for an older mention of it. either way yeah good wait hi

very bad at favorites but hh h hhu uh i'll pick "Stuck" as a less appreciated fave & then list other good'uns in tags

edit sorry nevermind anything i said i forgot about

[2entangledworms]

wait so you're the person posting the Kim Wormler fan art on twitter, right? I'm so stupid, it took me this long to figure it out.

Seriously though. What's with the worms? Cus they're slimy?

"Entangled" I'm not going to argue with. That part I immediately understand.

Hahahah omg I wish lmao, I actually haven't seen that but it definitely sounds like my kind of thing

The actual origin of my name is this podcast episode where one of the hosts goes on several insanely high-energy improvised rants, in one part of the episode he is trying to find our what "the secret" is, and he suggests that maybe the secret is that if you get two worms, and put them together, you end up with a june bug

Here's a link, it's a pretty fucked intro to the pod but I'm not sure there are any episodes that aren't lol

[fazcinatingblog]

the only thing i know about oleg markov is the suns fan (tom?) listing his 20 favourite things about the suns and he said oleg markov and mark(?) was like "oh yeah oleg" so it'll be really interesting if he's playing for collingwood

[coolzeke]

what is a hot dog, if not (almost) a chicken in a bag

[junespriince]

Donna: where's Walls?

Dick, on comms: hey, where are you Wally.

Wally: at the mission sight, where are you?

Roy, confused: at the mission sight... Where the fuck are you.

Wally: I'm at the mission sight in Guam.

The Titans:

Garth: but the mission is in Missouri... Your state.

Wally: first of all, not my state I am independent and don't need a state, and second why are you in Missouri?

Roy: because that's where the damn mission is dumbass!

Wally: welp.

Dick: how did you get Guam out of Missouri?

Wally: I ran out of the stuff to make my ADHD medication because B took my stuff because it's "illegal" to make high grade Adderall for speedsters and it would "look bad" for an honorary lj member to do drug making in my own garage, which is so stupid because auntie literally killed people and what's why she has less villains than us, but no, ADHD Walter White is too much, *goes on a rant that slowly lost the plot*

Dick: okay well, we have a solo podcast on let's just... Get this done.

After everything

Wally, is home now: and that why we should just let me get the big hamster wheel, think about the electricity I could generate and my enrichment!

Roy: I'm beating up B for this.

Dick: aw but it's so cute, he yapping so cutely! But uh do get his meds he needs those.

Roy, getting Dick's crowbar: you got it boss.

2023: The year of all time

This felt like the first year post-COVID where things really kicked into high gear for me personally. My new year's resolution was that I would go out and have fun for once.

And had fun I did.

I did some voicework reading for a story podcast, I went to a bunch of amazing concerts (nothing beats seeing Weird Al for my birthday!), and I sorted out a bunch of RL stuff and put a neat little bow on it. Thank goodness.

But fuck all that sappy shit: Here's a small collection of things I really enjoyed this year!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: An excellent sequel to a seemingly unfollow-uppable first film. Takes everything from ITSV, and amps it up to twenty with a stunning visual style, a sonically fitting soundtrack, and a meta-commentary on the nature of Spider-Man's character and whether they really deserve all the tragedy thrown at them.

Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe: The guys who made Pud did another show, this time with funding from the Australian Government! While stripped back in its setting, they continue to provide the same stupid bullshit that put me into laughing fits as they did with their Netflix show. Haven't they done well.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: I think when people heard about "An animated Scott Pilgrim show with the live-action cast and Edgar Wright producing", they did not expect "A proper dissection of Ramona Flowers' character and her motivations, as well as her own journey of forgiving the Evil Exes. Also lots of yaoi." Scott Pilgrim continues to dominate as the premier "guy learns not to be a shithead" franchise.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live in Accor Stadium: The Peppers prove their pertained power as performers by playing the purest psalms in their prospectus from the past 35 years (eugh, what a mouthful). Flea came out, did a 30-second handstand, waved and said hello to the moon and then got up some people littering in the crowd. Their life is more than just a read-through.

Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want to Turn Into You: I had absolutely no clue who Caroline was before I listened to this album. I now realise that she might just be the person that pop needs right now. A soaring collection of songs destined to become classics down the line, like a greatest hits compilation that doesn't exist. We're all on Caroline's island, and we ain't leaving.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk: I kept my eye on this game as it was developing, and it was absolutely worth it to see it come through in the end. Satisfying gameplay that requires you to learn how to combo to progress, an addicting artstyle inspired by Y2K, and the soundtrack. Holy fuck the soundtrack. I just can't get enuf.

Weird Al Yankovic - TUROTRSIIIVT: Man, what a title. Emu Phillips come out swinging with jokes I did not expect, and then Weird Al comes out aggressively swinging, with all the songs you don't know him for. He then did a polka melody of his parodies, did a ritual halfway through, and then ended the concert on a high note. Only the best from Strange Alfred.

Doctor Who 2023 Specials: That bastard David Tennant returning led me down the rabbit hole known as watching Doctor Who, and did it ever pay off more than these specials. A trans woman saves the day and the Doctor realises he's bi, black, and needs therapy. A magnificent close on a chapter of one of the greatest sci-fis ever, and a bright step into the future.

The Hyperfixation of the Year award goes to none other than

Homestuck, everyone's favourite webcomic! Everyone's.

And I think that's partly because I joined this website to begin with. I probably say this all the time, but leaving Reddit was probably the best decision I could have made at that time. As much as I reminisce, the communities I was in began to get a little stale. Same jokes, same shitposts, a different day. Tumblr in some strange way, is not that. It feels less like a big communal website and more like a collection of small towns spread across a large spot of land. Calm and village-like, you know?

So to all my mutuals, my followers, to the people that liked and reboggled my stinky posts, to all that offered mealworms and crickets in my askbox, thank you. "Gecko Boy" might just be a silly lil joke in the grand scheme of things, but it's a fun joke to play into.

Whatever comes next year, I know I've got the energy to keep going. Have a good 2024 everybody. <3

what's up with not for broadcast? i've had it in my wishlist for a while just from the basic premise of the game seeming interesting.

first of all, its political satire is somehow both heavy handed and bafflingly confused. like the plot of the game is that Evil Socialists take over by Doing Populism (scary!) and then do Evil Socialism by taking away rich people's money and doing 1984 to everybody. and idk this could just be standard anticommunism and it'd be annoying but not confusing. but the game is also like--like, it makes a point of how the Evil Socialist Government gets sanctioned by the rest of the world causing economic crisis, and how the main anti-government rebel is a self-centred paranoid far-right podcaster clearly based off alex jones, and how the rich people were all nasty iditos who didn't deserve their money. which like. i don't know. what's the game trying to say, then?

the only possible takeaway i can take from how these two factions are presented is like 'wealth inequality and capitalism is bad but it would also be bad to do anything about it'. the only character who is presented as even remotly sympathetic is the news reader who is decidedly apolitical and only cares about Getting To Read The News With Journalistic Objectivity. so many weird and confusing and self-defeating political assumptions baked into this game.

secondly, the humour misses the mark because it just can't fucking stop. like the joke will reach its punchline but because there needs to be a set amount of footage for the core gameplay loop to work jokes just get pushed wayyy past the point of the punchline. and not in an artful way like tim robinson or aunty donna just in a very tedious way where even quite funny jokes become absolutely fucking obnoxious the more they go on for. this is subjective of course but at some point watching C-tier monty python skits stretched out to three times their natural length just became so grating.

finally, the gameplay is so close to being good but losers confidence in its main gameplay mechanic at the last moment. like most of it is deciding when to cut between several different camera feeds, like, yknow, potentially making people look bad or good, undermining or reinforcing propaganda, etc. and this is a really good core mechanic that's really good and satisfying to play with! but unfortunately they keep interrupting it with stupid gimmicks like wiggling a line about to make it match anotehr line (the TV signal is out of tune or whatever) which instead of feeling like you're making meaningful choices about the titular broadcast just feel like pointless busywork. all these little distractions really really ruined the gameplay aspect of this for me which otherwise was extremely good and intersesting.
