Already pledged and backed and WHERE IS MY SOURCEBOOK I ALREADY CANNOT WAIT!!!

Jacob Rogers

I’ve ran a few ship combats in Dark Matter since getting the sourcebook, and Anthony made it way more fun than I expected and I will be adjusting my GM style accordingly.

Erik

Just picked up my book/dice sets/mat/fanny pack. I’m so excited! I love that y’all BLEW past the pledge goal well before I even woke up on the west coast (Seattle represent! *fistbump Freddie)

Sam

I loved dinosaur train 😭😭😭

Maladapted

A board warps away from the another component inside to cause the red ring. The heat melts the plastic standoffs between the board and the other component thus pressing them together and making the warp no longer relevant. At least that was my understanding when I did it 10 years ago.

Jessica

I spent like ten minutes being like... do they actually not know that being obsessed with trains is an autistic stereotype?

Jessica

I'd give a substantial amount of money to see Ash heckling 3rd grade Anthony doing standup HAWP style

Jacob Wells

Here’s my take: a dwarf planet is a planet. Clearly it has to be a planet if you’re calling it a dwarf planet.

Robert Snitchler

It's pronounced (Dip-LAWD-Oh-Cuss). Pterodactyls are not dinosaurs, they are "flying reptiles" and also Feathers ARE AWESOME!

Nobi Wolff

The Shattered Sea by Joe Abercrombie is a blink and you miss it dystopian post apoc series lol lol Also I like Silo and the Planetfall series

Matt M.

This is extremely well-covered ground, but there are two things about Pluto that make me 100% okay with it not being a planet: 1. Earth's moon is bigger than Pluto! It's only the 16th-largest object in the solar system, and 7 moons (including our own) are larger than Pluto. The 17th-largest object, Eris, is nearly the same size as Pluto, but twice as distant and 27% more massive! 2. Pluto's center of gravity is above it's surface! It's more accurate to say that Pluto and Charon orbit each other as a binary system, with the center of gravity between the two (slightly above Pluto's surface) than to say that Charon is a satellite of Pluto. That's actually way more unique than just being a ninth planet.

I can confirm the train-people-thing, at least in the booksector. I work in a bookstore. Not all customer service communications involve trainpeople (people who order train-related books), but all trainpeople involve customer service communications. And not just because they are wondering when they’ll receive their 2026 edition of “Dutch Railroads Yearbook”, but also those who pop in on a daily basis to enquire if it might have come in sooner by chance before we’ve scanned it (which would result in an automatic mailing). Detail: The dutch word for train also rhymes with the dutch word for wine. So i customized a wine label once for my boss in this spirit. :p

Snake River Bushcraft

thank you for this. My flavor of autism is Dinosaurs, and D&D. My favorite dinosaur is Allosaurus Fragilis

Snake River Bushcraft

I pledged over $160 and ordered the Deluxe edition, but I'm not sure if my name will appear in it? Also, Beth, Thank you for bringing up the Dinosaur Golden Age.

Laci B

i’m a lady of steam but i mostly just play video games there

Blake p

Im sorry but i must hate you now. Feathers made dinosaurs cooler, and even as a kid i knew this

Michael Mingyar

All that talk of how cinema is too "hero's journey pilled," and a well made romp of a film that completely does away with the concept of character growth comes out, and y'all call it "not even an airplane movie". For shame.

Clare de Lune

it feels like we're getting way too comfortable tossing around 'female' as a replacement word for 'woman'

Ash Randall

I loved watching SuperNanny with my mom growing up and now always watch full episodes that pop up on reels or TikTok or whatever… Beth I feel you

Ace Hutson

Dinosaur train was my shit as a kid…

My 4-year-old has obsessed over dinosaurs since he was 2. One of the first ones he learned how to say was diplodocus. We originally pronounced it the same way as Anthony, so I definitely don't blame him for getting it wrong. It did make me smile when I heard him read it that way due to nostalgia 🙂

Luna Puma Skooma Tooma

Y'all remember the Eye Toy for the PS2? Basically like the Xbox Kinect BEFORE Xbox 360? Shit blew my mind as a kid.

Will

Okay, the whole train thing though? Yes, dude. I am currently a stunt performer at a railroad with real steam locomotives, and we have railfans through constantly.

Shawn Mcindoe

The dinosaur train talknwas Hella accurate, I have two autistic boys, and that shit was playing on a loop for years. Even to this day when my boys are overwhelmed, they will rewatch as a comfort show to regulate themselves.

Julia & Piney

This is a Safe Space so I am forced to respect the egregiously wrong opinion that feathered dinosaurs aren't cool 😔

Holly Donlan

My niece likes dino train and dino dana, genuinely entertaining shows to watch haha!

DankLord420

HOLY SHIT my 17 month old son's favorite dinosaur is the diplodocus, he goes fucking wild for them

Drednot

The opening act for Freddie's magic show just being the ace of spades bit would be really funny

Samuel P. Patreon

In case anyone’s wondering, there was a period of time in the early 2010s where it was argued that Triceratops wasn’t its own genus and just an immature form of Torosaurus, which is what Anthony is remembering. Even at the time it was disputed, and today the general consensus is that they are two separate genera. Of course, as soon as the news media heard about it, it was a non-stop wave of “Triceratops never existed” headlines, which is such weird clickbaity wording. Even if it was true, that wouldn’t mean Triceratops wasn’t real, and it wouldn’t even change its name since Triceratops is an older name than Torosaurus and thus would take priority.

So, because I used to repair Xbox 360’s and am a bit of a train person myself I thought I’d come by and explain why the red ring of death happened and what the official fix for it was! Before we get into it, did you know that not all red rings of death are the same? The power button could light up with multiple different combinations of the first, second, third and fourth player indicators depending on what the issue with the console was. The most common and the one I primarily repaired was when the first, second and third player indicators were red. I don’t remember what the others meant right now, but most other combinations were uncommon and typically harder to repair. The problem: The three lighted red ring of death was caused by a poorly designed clamp mechanism underneath the CPU and GPU that held the heat sync for both in place. Because for whatever reason Microsoft was obsessed with putting little X’s all over the components of their console at the time, the clamps were designed to look like X’s. They had four screw points in each corner that had a threaded screw connected to the heat syncs above. Now, what happens when a CPU and GPU get hot? Well, they try to cool down by letting off that heat into the thermal paste that then transfers that heat onto the heat sync which is typically then cooled by a fan. CPU and GPU happy, because they stay at a cool operating temperature and are able to let you keep pwning noobs. But remember, there are metal screws connected to metal X clamps underneath the motherboard. This bad because heat transfers quicker to, you guessed it, metal. The X clamp underneath would get hot and start to warp… slightly. Then, after a lengthy gaming sesh you’d power your favorite console down and without any more activity it would cool off. This caused the X clamps to slowly start to warp upward and put more and more pressure on the motherboard. Eventually after doing this enough times the motherboard would warp to a noticeable 3-4 degrees and the console would refuse to start up. The red ring of death appears. Now before we get into the fix, the reason the towel trick would work is because it would suffocate your console, super heating it. Lord knows some circuit board engineer understands why, but getting the console’s motherboard to a bend of about 5-6 degrees would allow it to start back up again. This is why the towel trick would only work once or twice. You’d get the board to the range, but once you pass it the console was toast. The fix: honestly, it was simple. You’d take the plastic casing off the console and disassemble the inside until you were just left with the motherboard and X clamp attached heat syncs. You’d turn it over, unscrew the X clamps and then turn it over again and clean off the thermal paste with rubbing alcohol. Once clean, you apply new thermal paste and screw back on the heat syncs with just four washers and standard machine screws. You’d only tighten them down until the motherboard was perfectly flat. If there was any bend you’d still be stuck with the red ring. This took me a while to get right the first time, but once you do a few it was easy to get the hang of getting the board straight every time. Until the elite model came out which fixed the issue by, guessed right again, removing the X clamps and replacing them with screws I was busier with my side huddle than my normal job. Thanks to anyone that got this far and I can’t wait for my sourcebook to arrive!

Dump Daze

Triceratops is the Order, not a specific dinosaur. Like how a hawk or eagle is a Raptor. So there are different species with horns and frills that are all triceratops

Marissa Y.

AHHHHHH they answered my question! Wild. This may or may not be helpful to anyone with ADHD who struggles with TTRPG stuff: when I've played, I like to make combat cheat sheets. It's just a page full of things I can do, put in my own words so I understand it easier. A DM or another player who knows the rules can double check that you have the stuff right. And also, Lady of Steam is a great gamer handle.

Sam

I think I need to go to this train museum now. 🤣

Oh Lordii

So the whole dinosaurs have feathers thing is largely dependent on the type of dinosaur if I’m not mistaken. It’s mainly associated with the raptor family and some large bipedal carnivores. Like you wouldn’t see them on sauropods, stegos or ankylos etc. Also depending on the species it is more like plumage vs fully covering their entire body so it’s cool how it diversifies all the species even more! - grew up in golden age of dinosaur media and is still my favorite thing to this day.

Patrick Morris

Boggles my mind that Anthony would tell beth to not be so hard on herself, when this guy seems like he couldnt take a compliment from his friends if his life depended on it

Tanner

All this Dino talk and none about our good boy Mongo? He is appalled!

George

Omg I was OBSESSED with dinosaur train when I was a kid! I still vividly remember an episode about amphibians

Leif Mewes

Bro I loved how they used the Dinosaur train to get past the different ages of time. Yeah let me ride through a tunnel and enter the Jurassic period to visit these dinosaurs

rosebramblewolf

Feathers don't obfuscate the only things we have of dinosaurs, they are one of the things we have

Garbage Game Night

Exciting Gamerstack/Safe Space crossover news: Steam's 'Train Fest' is now on. Discounts Demos and More, through July 27th.

Robert Snitchler

Its my flavor too. My favorite is Ankylosaurus.... Also Mononychus

Emilyandsnails

Need a train centered ttrpg mbic. Need. Gotta be a Shining Time Station or Thomas the Tank Engine module out there somewhere 🙏

Jordan Brooke

In maybe 1st or 2nd grade my sister did impressions at the talent show. Of a crying puppy, and a chainsaw. And it was adorable

Bekah Robertson

I WILL NOT TAKE THIS DINOSAUR TRAIN SLANDER!! THAT THEME SONG SLAPPED AND THE DINOSAURS WERE AWESOME! Also there is a good chance I am a little autistic but I think that is unrelated.

Mary

I straight up watched dinosaur train at like 9+ years old b/c I fucking love dinosaurs and I wanted to be a paleontologist and I’m down for dinosaurs having feathers cause bro just,, a long neck with feathers like a penguin?? You are telling me dinosaurs could have the coloring of a beautiful pigeon??? Flamingo dinosaurs?? I love dinosaurs but pink dinosaurs? That’s the best thing I’ve ever pictured in my mind,,, like dinosaurs can be really femme and girlie and people don’t even consider that— BUT DINOSAUR TRAIN DID CAUSE ONE OF THE DINOSAURS IS HAS FALSE LASHES AND LIPSTICK?? She is diva and I think of her frequently.

GuppyPuppy3

52:00 the show could be named after a play on FNAF, but something akin to “Five Tricks of Freddie’s”

Claire Wilson

I cannot overstate how much it made me laugh when Freddy said he read "Battle Royale" in the original Japanese and then so quickly backed down and said, 'Well, I skimmed it and said, "I can't read this! Someone needs to translate this."' I absolutely folded.

Shannon

I have a friend who used to refer to a fetish site she was on as trains.com and it never ceases to make me laugh. 😂 I have to shout out “A Boy and His Dog” for post apocalyptic. So weird. Didn’t age super well.

Robyn

do you think google hallucinated and got women of steam from a science thing? I have heard about steam as an acronym for Science Technology Engineering Arts Mathematics

Pebble

PLS POST PHOTO OF MATTS CARPET INVENTORY

SenorBumFace

Does anyone remember what episode Freddie talks about his "aaaaace of spaaaades" routine? I think about this a lot.

The Void

Everyone cares about Pluto, but where’s the justice for Eris? For Ceres? For Sedna and Makemake? What about the rest of the dwarf planets?

Connor Kingfisher

I kept waiting for someone to bring up We’re Back

Jmp098

I did standup comedy too with a little sock puppet named Phalange. I got third place only cause one of the judges kid somehow was able to do two different acts so she got first. I never forgot that

Sam Arkush

Bro ur fire keeping doing what ur doing bazinga!

Morgan D

Wow not knowing super nanny, thought Anthony would love it.

Whachamacallit

THANK YOU!! Honestly I was definitely gatekeepy when they said pterodactylus as their favorite dinosaur lol

Robert Snitchler

We also know that a lot of ceratopsids had a sort of Mohawk of quills on their hindquarters but we don't know if it was like feather plumage or something like porcupine quills (which in my opinion would be freaking awesome)

ChddrChzz27

Ohhh, so that’s why Walter gave the Groundlings a copy of Kameo for the shitty preorder version of the sword he made lmao

Mikey B

I’d pay an OBSCENE amount of money to see Freddy Wong: Gamer Comedian: Ring of Death live

Chris Wade

I thought the red ring of death thing was overstated. My 360 got it multiple times. I just turned it off and back on and it fixed it.

Linnea Lindstrom

Shoutout to Beth for understanding gentle vs permissive parenting! 👏 Also, I desperately want marbles for spell slots now!

Hailey Lowery

Not me reminiscing about the talent show I entered my Senior year where I lost to The Cup Song, only to tune in right as they start to incorporate Pitch Perfect into their magic act. 🤣🤣🤣

Nikolaj Engborg

Man the dinosaur talk got me flashing back to rewatching the same single VHS of Dino Riders(not a bdsm show). It was dinosaurs, lasers and lava aka so awesome. Got to find me some of that again!

Corkboard Podcast Network

Y’all sleeping on some of the best Star Wars we’ve gotten. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Duncan Hayton

I was in tears with the non magic trucks and the ring of death 😂😂😂

Scloop

You might be thinking about Brontosaurus which has been confirmed as an immature Apatosaurus.

Scloop

Also… we really don’t KNOW that all dinosaurs had feathers… The fossil record isn’t that definitive.

Scloop

Omg it looks like Brontosaurus is back! LFG!!

Randi and Christian

I also did stand up at the ripe age of 8 with my friend at the time at my school talent show. I also brought the house down.

wonderchicken125

i see y beth, i know and love super nanny 🫶🙂‍↕️

Wratilkuj Frost

I once witnessed a kid in middle school do a metal cover of Lady Gaga's Poker Face for a talent show and it apparently pissed off a LOT of teachers 🤣😭 It was sick as hell.

Ryan Burke

For the not magic magic show It would be so funny if they had a mic on them live along with the boots so you hear them panting and undertheir breath just mutter "why the fuck did i do this"

McCall

Can you all please do an Equilibrium watch for Patreon? My libraries don't have it and I can't find it in a thrift store. I've been hunting for the movie since you guys riffed on it, but I don't want to pay for it to stream! Or ebay, lol

Jesse Barbour

Freddy's thing about the more stimulated we are the harder it is to work together is fascinating and will stick with me

liam morin

they teach the solar system and then have neil degrasse tyson tell them the bad news

Grape Juice

Lemon demon has a great song about trains and train people by extension
