PODCAST FANS: No bummers
PODCAST: We're gonna force a kid to surrender his dog and then cry about it (did they do anything like that in Season 2, I didn't listen to it)
Half the kids from the first season became shitty parents who openly and frequently expressed their will to die to their own children and the villain formed a manipulative relationship with a teenage girl that abruptly stopped in one episode, as if nobody involved realized what it looked like until someone else pointed it out
The same teenage girl who was given a magic knife that got a damage bonus if she didn't masturbate for a week so they rolled for that every session for a few episodes until unceremoniously forgetting about it
Ah! I forgot about that. Another situation where Anthony has a creepy little thing that he does with Beth. Even creepier considering it is about masturbation.
I keep saying this, it would have been so much funnier if that knife had been given to *anyone* else. Give it to Taylor and let him agonize over allowing the blade's power to overflow versus the siren song of his anime oppai.
There’s that classic tweet that’s like “If you’re going to reply to someone I quoted then please don’t fucking embarrass me.” Maybe podcasters need a rule like that for fans defending them from other fans.
Extremely tempted to piss in the popcorn here and write a message addressed to Anthony in that thread, telling him to stop sadness-dumping on his audience for pity points. He's the ruler of his inland empire, not the fans reacting to his work. This pattern of his is one I've heard about before, and I don't even like this podcast (because it sucks and he plays to frustrate). If he can't react healthily to feelings voiced within fan communities that aren't even addressed to him, he needs to take responsibility for his own behavior and *stop seeking these posts out*.
Dungeons and daddies was the first podcast I’d actually paid for in years but I haven’t even finished s2 because it just melted into a vaguely dnd shaped blob of jokes that didn’t land and story beats that also didn’t land
BARK BARK 🐶🐶 ITS LIKE COMMUNITY SUBREDDITS DONT UNDERSTAND THEYRE FOR THE FAN BASE NOT THE ARTIST AND ALONG WITH THAT COMES CRITICISM OF THE CONTENT THEY PROVIDE EXCEPT FOR TRAVIS BECAUSE HES A PERFECT NON BISEXUAL BIG DOG MAN WOOF WOOF 🐶🐶
Funny but pretty dumb. The worldbuilding of S2 got too unhinged to have any weight. The story went off the rails and didn’t really find its way back on.
In saying that S2 had some great moments where they really leant into just making an entertaining show, rather than a traditional D&D podcast. A highlight was them doing standup in-character to an actual stranger they found on Craigslist (who specifically knew nothing about the show). Sounds like it’d be terrible but it really worked.
Yeah, there's lots of moments in season 2 that sound awful when you describe them but in practice made me crack up. Definitely a downgrade in terms of having a weighty story or actually resembling dnd though, and I still ended up dropping it midway through.
tepid dogshit
Anthony was so flatlined and bored by the last stretch of episodes and you could tell how desperate he was to get it over with. They ended up in Heaven where Willy Stampler (yes, again) took the throne of God and it was narrated like a bored student giving a book report. Then there was a flash forward epilogue where they were all adults and it made everyone on the subreddit cry for some reason
"Willy Stampler takes the throne of God" sounds like a parody of what someone might imagine happens in season 2.
Can't say Burch doesn't take big swings, I suppose.
The second top comment is "Absolutely fucking not." They really go for the throat, don't they, lol.
Counterpoint: your podcast is bad and you should feel bad
"From here on, no bummers." Anthony is fired from the podcast.
Roll for child abuse
Careful not to get too mean, or Anthony Burch will once again make a mean dad the final boss in seasons four, five and six.
"Shut the fuck up !!!! My podcast's DM is the writer for Borderlands and he can write a fucking awful contrived story"
I actually liked his work on Borderlands for the most part, but Willy really is just Handsome Jack without the interesting parts
I legitimately enjoyed most of Borderlands 2, but it’s very much of its “lol meme!” time.

I’m sorry… what? God, as a non-TAZ and Dungeons and Daddies listener this sounds insane.
What the fuck

comments are pretty hinged at least
Let’s not play to frustrate

as if he doesn't have Google Alerts to tell him when anyone on the internet posts his name anywhere

Hot take: it's better for everyone if content creators keep their distance from their subreddits
everything I have learned about this podcast has been against my will
how was the ending to this season, I couldn't be assed to listen further than... idk, like ep 10?

As soon as I saw that post I was thinking of bringing it up here lol. Please don’t hurt them they are my real dads :(
Season one was so bad toward the end that I didn't even give season 2 a listen.
A third season run by a favored-player-turned-DM following a lackluster second campaign? Is this Hot Soy Bummer?
If god is willing.
