The Clown Barracks: What’s New @ the Table
🕑 Added 2025-02-11 15:00:15 +0000 UTC
i’m sorry did you say pig magic. The third episode of Realis, Feast at the Citadel Bein 02, came out for $5+ Patrons last week. That means the second episode went up in the main feed for everyone to enjoy. (Not sure what Realis is & too afraid to ask? We’ve got you covered.)
Grandmag’s ultrarare hologram tuxedo. On Sunday we streamed the second part of Twilight Mirage’s four-part finale over on Twitch. Clocks are ticking, moves are being made, and I may have gotten a wee bit punchy at one point.
If you can lean, you can clean. Somehow last week Jack and I roped most of the cast into streaming Supermarket Together, a grocery store management simulator that supports up to 16 players--which I’m sure would be very manageable given how things went with our group of 7! We did not fight about lighting! No one swore at anyone! We never mispriced ANY olive oil!
The natural enemy of the bird. Austin’s third Etrian Odyssey III stream, featuring Sylvie and Jack, is now conveniently archived on YouTube.
Marry, Kill, Befriend. Likewise, Keith and Jack’s most recent political manoeuvring in Crusader Kings III is also up on YouTube here.
Bonus! Drinks girlies-adjacent content. Last month I asked everyone in the cast to share a picture of their favorite mug and (after a brief detour to argue about what favorite means/a stipulation that it cannot be a merch mug even though we all do love our merch mugs) to write a line or two explaining why. Mugs are, after all, central to any podcasting setup. Enjoy!
(clockwise from top left)
Janine: I have a pair of these, one black and one cream, and love them because they’re short but not small, and the handle is matte and ridged so it’s extremely secure and pleasant to hold.
Sylvie (choosing to brag): the advantages of having a boyfriend who loves silly mugs
Austin: I got this mug on a trip I loved even though we got snowed into our cabin, lost power, and had to drive back in a terrible, unexpected ice storm. It gets so hot when I put coffee in it, because of how it's made of metal. I think that's cool for some reason.
Jack: this is my favourite mug because - and i don't know how else to describe this - it feels "more round" than other mugs, like a perfect cylinder
Art: This is my favorite mug because of the hot dog dog.
Andrew: This is my favorite because: it's a cute elephant
Ali: it is from a little ice cream place in LA and I like it a lot
Keith (for whom this was the hardest question I have ever asked): this is my daily coffee mug, i like it because it has a thin lip and lets me keep the rest of my coffee hot in a carafe

That supermarket together stream was the exact thing I didn't know I needed at the end of an absolutely horrific week. Just the right kind of chaos.

The handle on Keith's mug is a paddle? A tab! A wing! What the fuck!

Just finished watching the TCG shop simulator and can’t wait to watch the VOD of Supermarket Together! Sounds like y’all run a very tight, no nonsense ship. 😜

Love the mugs – I'm all about a sturdy, reassuring handle so am with Janine and Jack's choices here

I think Janines is my favourite. I think the animal mugs are cute but look too difficult to drink out of or clean! my favourite mug i got from a secondhand store and it is small, perfect size for me, and colourful with primarily a blue and green background and lots of different colourful cartoon sheep in squares.

the mug content is extremely wholesome and a great thing to have read in the morning before facing the day
Kitty
also Janine's choice is underrated, love a mug that isn't going to slip out of my hand

Art's mug is the most perfect thing I've ever seen, and Keith's mug is perfect until you get to the "handle" (???) and then it's just baffling.

Did not know how much I needed a mug roundup in my life.
Eric Lindholm
These newsletters always make me smile, appreciate you all!
John Doty
As someone who genuinely appreciates a good mug, I feel like I can get behind all these.
nacchi
mug content is good content!

I'm baffled by Keith's choice of mug because I can't fathom how it's comfortable to hold. do you just avoid that little bit on the side entirely??
Daniel Craig
All of the mug answers make sense in ways I will not explain.
Joey
keith understands that you have to factor in the mug Experience!!
Andy Grimaldi
Between this and the EO teapot I am kind of obsessed with Keith's ceramic drinks collection, petition for a special little Keith's mug of the week section of the newsletter plz
