AMA questions next month :)

Hi everyone!

We're having a Patreon Only AMA stream next month :)

Feel free to post your questions for the AMA in this thread

Here's what we have so far:

Stars: Does or will Richie teach classes online that can be attended by foreigners?

Gordon: Question—what do you do? I know you’re a research assistant. I think you work in a psychology or neurology lab. What are you guys researching? I know this is a clinical academic nerdy question, but I’m a clinical academic nerd

Tom: How the hell do you pronounce "Jerks Sans Frontieres"???

Nicole: So Sin, could you tell us exactly how many times Richie been a bully? Just a ballpark

Bob: Have either of you guys read like a super-long, super-nerdy fiction series?  (Richard must have in his youth)  I read all the Issac Asimov Foundation and Foundation-adjacent books as a teen.  I think there were 14 in all!

Heraclitus: What are your all-time favourite FromSoft moments?

Nicole: So do you think Richie can sing 'I'm Blue' as Ebrooitus (:

Red: What kind of music do you two like? And what have you been listening to lately?

Trav: Are we getting a Demon's Souls remake playthrough or some lore vids with gameplay?

Charlemagne: Which of you is the real bully, and why is it Sin?

Sap: What are your favourite non souls games?

Sap: What major changes would you make to the Bloodborne world/lore/story/mechanics if you had been involved in production? What if you had truly unlimited time and resources to develop whatever you liked?

AutomnalVoid: First question: Will Ebrooitus come to my birthday next year? 🥺 More serious one: Have you ever thought about creating a kind of comprehensive alternate narrative of your special theories (Ludwig killed Maria, Dignity City, Party Village, Sketchy people, etc.) and characters (Ebrooitus, The Little Slug, etc.)? Either as a kind of audio-book in the podcasts, or maybe even produce something like shortnovel- or picturebook-style.

Ursa Doom: What books do you two like to read and do you have a favorite author?

Ursa Doom: Which influences do you have on your creativity work?

Galax: Will you guys do more 'It can't be helped' episodes on various silly animes?

Rorik: How do you two feel about horror movies/books? Do you have a favourite? Were you scarred by a scary piece of media as a child?

Beautiful beard in tutu:

Do you feel any of the Souls-inspired games that followed Dark Souls and Demon's Souls (e.g. Nioh, The Surge, Salt & Sanctuary, etc.) captured your imagination in the same way as From Software's production? Is there any of them you'd like to cover in the future?  What's your favorite look for the Hollows out of all the Dark Souls games?  Are you disappointed too that Miyazaki never actually made the lighthearted game he promised in the original DS2 interview for EDGE?  What is your favorite Rune from Bloodborne?  When are we getting a critical deep dive podcast on that movie with James Franco and the gorilla?  This one is specifically for Richard: did film school teach you anything about how you approach games, whether analytically or how you play them?  That's all I have for now.

Sam: Sin is obviously the task mastress in our duo. She allows Richie his grumble, as any wise slave driver would. If this weren't true, the brilliant agony of What,  Where, Why wouldn't exist.  Speaking of our favorite epistle if episodes and Neurological research assistants... do I detect a whiff of NLP?

Dezo: Hmmm...how about, "What theory did Richie read on Reddit that just made him stop and stare, utterly dumbstruck at his screen in a paroxysm of 'There are no words'?"

Winged Element: Was it an active decision to become a two person channel or did it just evolve that way over time?

Agent Funk: For all the analysis on Bloodborne you guys have done, how do you feel about it now, two years later? Any burn-out? Do you feel any differently about the story it presents? Has your opinion on it gotten better, worse, or stayed the same?

Doom Kitty: Did Sin ever buy a chalkboard?  With the completion of the vaporwave snail shrine, what's Richard's next project?  Is there a question nobody has asked, but you would like to answer?

Gordon: Which of you would win at thumb wrestling?    Can your Corvo Blink, or does he prefer to slow time instead? Has he talked to The Outsider? Does he prefer non-lethal strategies?  What do you guys like to do in your ridiculously teeny amount of free time?  If you were trapped in The Nightmare, what would you want your backstory to be?
