I just sent invites out today, and another batch last week! There was some not sending, but it should be fixed now. If you did not get an invite, please just message me here, and I'll get it fixed ASAP.
Thank you so much for support!

First off, I want to thank you all for the support throughout 2020. I know it hasn't been an easy year for most, myself included, but I hope that the content I've made was able to spark some joy and laughs this past year.
I will be streaming on Twitch this Friday for Christmas. I have done this for the past couple years because I know how lonely and depressing it can be not having family or f...
2020-12-22 22:50:16 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to take a moment to thank everyone! Without the constant support of you all, I wouldn't be able to produce the amount of content I do for a living. I really appreciate everyone from those who have been patrons for years to those who've only been patrons for a month. Thank you!
Since not a lot of families can get together this year due to the pandemic, I'll be streaming most of the afternoon and evening ...

Episode 05 | Rose may be the Chairman, but it’s Oleana who keeps things running in Galar.

Figured that our audience and listenership is good enough to attempt to get nominated for the 15th Annual Podcast Awards. There are only, as of now, 15 other "gaming podcasts" in the space (since the podcast owner has to register that they'd like to be honored), so I think this is a good year to try to win!
It's a bit of work, but you do have to make an account to no...

In the previous episode, we saw Gym Leader Bea get caught up in a harrowing ordeal while out training with her Pokémon. This time, the action follows Hop, the younger brother of Galar's Champion, and his adorable Wooloo. Tune in to see what adventures await these two partners.
Irene and Steve talk about Hop in the series vs Hop in the game. We also compare this episode to the last in quality.

A weekly Animal Crossing podcast about getting to know the people who live in your town or island! A podcast that also helps you discover new animals that you’d want to move into your town (or island). ACL is a short podcast that brings a couple facts or details to your ears so you don’t have to search out wikis for animals you may not have heard of!
Just a minor update! First thing, I know that some people are out of work currently, so if you cannot afford to continue supporting, I completely understand. With that being said, we will not be kicking from the Slack for the this month and all of April. We’ll reevaluate come May 1st. Kicking people is not a priority, keeping those relationships with others are.

Basic strategy: Open with Grimmsnarl and decide if you need to set Light Screen or Reflect. If the coast is clear, bring out Mudsdale and Swagger it while Dynamaxed and then go all out. Bring Arcanine to Wil-O-Wisp if you see they are heavy on Physical Pokémon. Bring Gastrodon to switch in when you expect Water-type moves to hit, especially against Mudsdale.

After losing to Galar’s Champion, Leon, Fighting-type Gym Leader Bea sets out with her Pokémon to elevate their training. Will she find her inner resolve and grow stronger…or will she succumb to the pressure of defeat?
Irene and Steve recap this episode and our thoughts with this compared to episode 01 and how we feel about what to expect with the series going forward.
2020-02-26 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I haven't posted one of these in a while, but I wanted to give a couple updates to you all that support! I know not everyone is in the Slack or reads the Slack, but here are some updates!
Irene and I will be sitting down this week to record episode 2 of Twilight Wings this week. She was pretty sick over the weekend, so putting her voice on the mic didn't make sense when we could just wait a day or two extra.
Not everyone can make it out to the Twitch streams, and even if you do, the long time I stream you probably wouldn't be able to catch everything every night throughout the week.
This is the first video that's actually be cut and edited for YouTube in a long, long time instead of just pulled from Twitch and plopped over there.
I hope you enjoy it and ring that bell and tell me your favorite astrological sign that you thought of during breakfast.

Whoa... so uh... I want to say thank you! Patreon is at an all time high for users and I didn't realize how many tiers hit the "sold out." I know there was people who wanted Mugs or postcards or even to be Producers. I have opened up a few more spots for those 3 tiers if you are interested.
