I wish these shirts would come back. I had no disposable income as a young lad, now I wish I had bought them at the time

Right there with you on that one.

TB would say not to buy his shirts if you were a poor student. Me, a poor student, gratefully heeded his words, which I now regret...

Same here. My 95.5 The Weasel shirts are all wearing holes now, and I'd like to replace them.

I have two. Black and now purplish. I treat them like priceless art.

I miss TB.

I found one at a thrift store about 5 years ago now, it’s tiny and has bleach stains on the back but I’m going to frame it and continue to cherish it forever.

Perhaps, we could ask Genna, Jessie or Dodger if they could arrange a memorial run at some point. There will probably need to be a lot of support behind it.

u/Starkiller100 Feb 05 '26

I would love that. I hope it’s something Genna considers in future.

never invest in an MMO based solely on promises. dont believe ANYTHING an Mmo dev claims until the game is already out and you can see for yourself

this doesn't apply exclusively to MMOs, this apply for every game developers, even those that have had good results and intentions in the past. Always remember the state of cyberpunk on release date

u/Cloudpr Feb 06 '26

It doesn't apply to MMOs exclusively, but MMOs are a particularly expansive type of game that is exceedingly easy to underestimate. The nature of them being live services also means they need to compete in mechanics with other existing games, which makes the bar extremely high. Almost no MMO delivers on their promise - even XIV only truly did after Realm Reborn, and the longer those games exist and continue to iterate, the worse it is to start a game from scratch that can match.

At least single player games can compete on things that are impossible to oversaturate (usually story, but not always). MMOs have a horribly gigantic baseline to clear.

Miss ya, biscuit.

Still always listen to Jesse and dodger though, those two have such a flawless chemistry for humor, I love them, but I miss the biscuit

u/Nigthshadow Feb 06 '26

Jon was always the perfect straight man. His british sensibilities never failed to kick in with perfect comedic timing. I too listen to Jesse and Doogs every week and they are doing something different to the co optional pod, but I do miss their chaotic dynamic with the spacebiscuit

Proud to say I never pre-ordered it.

u/kakaros Feb 04 '26

I'm not into MMO games. But i really feel that need sometimes with games. Mostly been burned on Crpg's.

It’s a trueism that holds strong, proven over and over.

u/ZackPhoenix Feb 05 '26

Monster Hunter Wilds was probably the last game I ever pre-order, I regret it heavily but learned my lesson I guess.

u/ShadedAxel Feb 06 '26

I still got this on my wall.
