Krysta Yang (0:07)
Today, we have some very hot, hot takes today to share with you.
Kit Ellis (0:15)
Hot under the collar.
Krysta Yang (0:16)
Oh, you're hot already? I didn't even get started yet.
We have hot takes. We're not trying to rage bait you, but you may be rage baited regardless. The one thing that we will say about these hot takes is that we actually 100% stand behind them.
Kit Ellis (0:30)
Yeah.
Krysta Yang (0:31)
And they may be hot, but we believe them to be true. So yeah, I don't know how y'all are gonna react to this, but.
Kit Ellis (0:40)
One man's rage bait is just another man's strongly held opinion.
Krysta Yang (0:45)
Truth. Exactly, exactly. So we'll see what happens. You may be mad.
Kit Ellis (0:50)
You're an expert at this.
Krysta Yang (0:51)
Making people mad.
Kit Ellis (0:52)
Yeah.
Krysta Yang (0:52)
And not caring about it.
Kit Ellis (0:54)
Making me mad.
Krysta Yang (0:54)
And I don't care either. That's the best part. I don't care that I make you mad.
See how I'm not caring?
Kit Ellis (1:00)
I'm still here, I guess.
Krysta Yang (1:01)
You're still here just taking it.
Kit Ellis (1:04)
These are all going to be directed at me.
Krysta Yang (1:05)
Yeah.
Kit Ellis (1:06)
And you're dumb too. You're stupid.
Krysta Yang (1:09)
And did I say you're on camera? I hate you.
Kit Ellis (1:11)
I thought that was assumed. Wow. Okay. Well, we're off to a great start today.
Krysta Yang (1:15)
Always.
Kit Ellis (1:15)
I'm excited for that. We never say a bad thing about our wonderful Patreon subscribers. Just check us out at patreon.com/kit&krysta. For them, we will be recording part 2 of our Fire Emblem spoiler cast.
Krysta Yang (1:28)
How exciting.
Kit Ellis (1:29)
At the end of this week, focused on Theodora and Kai's part 1 Again, the naming of this is confusing.
Krysta Yang (1:40)
Yes, a little bit.
Kit Ellis (1:41)
Part 1 of Fire Emblem Fortune Weave, Theodora and Kai, that is the spoiler cast we are recording.
Krysta Yang (1:47)
Yeah, that's clear. That's very clear. Yes, we both have finished.
Kit Ellis (1:51)
Clean it up, yes.
Krysta Yang (1:52)
Those new heroes. I've actually been playing even more.
Kit Ellis (1:56)
Well, I'm into part 2
Krysta Yang (1:57)
You're into part 2, and I have, I'm done with Theodora's part 1 as well.
Kit Ellis (2:01)
Great.
Krysta Yang (2:02)
So now we can have that.
Kit Ellis (2:03)
I don't need to show up then. You can do the whole thing yourself. Yeah, you do it yourself.
Krysta Yang (2:06)
Let me tell you about Kai and Theodora.
Kit Ellis (2:08)
I'll be taking a nap in the other room.
Krysta Yang (2:09)
I'll just do like a monologue for about two hours about Kai and Theodora. Anyways, it's been great. We've been having a lot of fun, obviously playing the game, but also doing our multi-part spoiler cast for Patreon. So it's awesome. It's fun.
Kit Ellis (2:23)
Yeah, I mean, this game is so huge. I have some spoiler-free thoughts about part two so far coming up later on. Yes, you are going to share those. But after this, we'll have all four of the part one routes covered.
Krysta Yang (2:36)
Yes.
Kit Ellis (2:37)
So I know people are playing through this different ways at their own pace. This will all be waiting for you whenever you are ready.
Krysta Yang (2:42)
Yeah, no worries. Exactly.
Kit Ellis (2:45)
I want to say thanks for the great feedback to our video from last week, also exclusive on Patreon, talking about the current state of Nintendo on social media and looking specifically at posts from the month of September. Got a really positive reaction to that. So we'll be back at the end of this month to look at October.
Krysta Yang (3:02)
Yes. We'll continue this. There's also some great comments about like expand this to other marketing things that they do within the month and review and evaluate those as well. That's a really good idea and yeah, we're just really glad that you guys found that video to be interesting. We definitely had fun doing it, so we'll do more of those since you liked it so much.
Kit Ellis (3:22)
Back in the saddle, just like running one of those meetings.
Krysta Yang (3:26)
Not as annoying.
Kit Ellis (3:27)
I'm telling you, tops and bottoms, T's and B's.
Krysta Yang (3:29)
Do I need to provide a PowerPoint?
Kit Ellis (3:30)
This is what we need.
Krysta Yang (3:31)
Do I need to provide a deck to our Patreon subscribers?
