Hey folks! Some unexpected circumstances mean that we need to delay this week's ep. To keep things flowing neatly, we're just going to push everything back a week, so Dxun/Onderon Pt. 2 will release next week, and Austin's Korriban LP ep will be the week after that!

Thanks for your patience!

There are so many reasons to sub to @morecivilized.bsky.social, but among them is their recent discussion of "Would you rather act like an uncle and think like a nephew or think like a nephew and act like an uncle" on their latest Q&A episode 😂 Yes of course it's Star Wars related!

We got a some of this feedback during our first KOTOR season too. Counterpoint: it’s the second most popular set of episodes we’ve ever released. Land of contrasts, some listeners just seem to dig it more than others.

Believe it or not, I just record with OBS and edit with Capcut (PC), which is a pretty compromised tool in some ways (like
requiring an internet connection) but which is also straightforward and great for doing quickly doing the gags that I’ve been interested in doing across the two LPs I’m doing.

I do not know what this means, especially since three of the four of us have spent our whole professional lives as game makers and/or critics, *and* that we covered KOTOR 1 years ago on this very podcast.

Something is wrong with your LP when you are exporting a 4+ hour long file and going "kind of a short one this week."

Should be up later tonight, assuming my internet is cooperative and there aren't any surprise issues while I'm away from the computer!

export info for the upcoming episode of the KOTOR 2 LP, listing its duration at 4 hours 11 minutes and 33 seconds

September Q&A is now live, and I have to say, needing to get a whole episode into a tight time constraint really lit us on fire this time. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/140200...

I meant to post the properly scanned version of this drawing when @morecivilized.bsky.social did their second nar shadaa ep, but I guess it can serve as a recommendation that you also listen to the patreon q+a episodes, some very good nar shadaa chat there. #kotor2 #kotor2spoilers #fanart

A scan of a pen and ink drawing of the exile, atton, bao-dur, mira and t3 looking beat up and exhausted. The exile is saying "hey, let's never go to Nar Shadaa again."

Kell Morn's entire excursion to Dantooine is edited. Trying my best to stay up through the export, but if I can't manage, the upload will start tomorrow morning and be available sometime in the evening.

We are going to the depths, with this one...

It's definitely just fine, but it's hard to compete against lightsabers when they get numbers like this on top of giving you access to the blaster deflection bonuses.

Our long awaited (and long due) Q&A episode is now live on the Patreon! Expect the full Dantooine LP episode to go up tonight or tomorrow, based on how long the rest of this edit goes and how long it takes Austin's internet to upload!
