Vibe & Rant

WE'RE BACK -- kinda. In this episode, we talk about why we were gone for so long, why Fall Guys got so successful and other party games like Among Us, etc, as well as the direction of games in the future. 

This episode was recorded with angy using her airbnb dresser as a table and a decorative vase as a mic stand so sorry about the mic quality :) Hopefully we'll be back to normal next week... but idk i think our podcast is cursed.

In this episode, Dandy and Angy talk about their personal experiences with streaming, the nuances of being a female streamer, the various types of streamers and their content, the challenges of being a streamer, and much more.

If you're interested in seeing what type of content we stream.. come take a peek and our rusty and crusty twitch channels because we are both failed streamers:

In today's episode, we talk about our experiences running a guild in an MMORPG. We ran a guild together in Maplestory 2 called Vibrant (RIP), and wanted to share how we created a community, the different kinds of conflicts that we had to deal with (both within the guild and drama outside of the guild), and what really went on behind the scenes in Vibrant. Hopefully this episode inspires people to create their own guilds as well!

In this episode, we talk about what's it like being a girl on the internet -- stereotypically masculine vs feminine games, getting harassed,  and whether or not the gaming industry has changed to be more welcoming for females.

The powerpuff girl street fighter game mentioned is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc4J8ozzqFE  -- Linking it because it was the coolest thing ever growing up.

Today's episode is a bit different in that it is our first time talking about primarily non-gaming content with our special guest, Jimmy the Tinder Veteran. We talk about online dating, the different types of online dating (through games or apps like Tinder), our experiences with online dating, "fast food romance" and its effect on mental health, as well as how we manage long distance relationships. 

In today's episode, we have our first ever guest speaker, Sheepy! 

We brought Sheepy on today because online communities on Discord has changed his life, giving him experiences and opportunities he would not otherwise have had. So in this episode, we talk about the different online communities we are part of, the positive and negative impacts it has had on our lives, feeling lonely online, and we also talked a little bit about "stranger danger" and meeting online friends irl. 

Once again, thank you for listening! 

In today's episode, we talk about what it's like growing up as a gamer from our youth to now, the games we played, the crazy shit asian parents do to stop us from gaming, mmo guilt, and our current struggles with balancing games and life.

We apologize in advance because we were both feeling under the weather, and angy's mic was clipping a lot... Third time's the charm and next time her mic will be better. I hope.

Today's episode is sponsored by: Nothing! Every since I started doing NOTHING at home, my life has completely changed! 

In this episode, we talk about "online friends" -- Are they real friends? Is there a stigma against the idea of having online friends? And much more! 

We apologize for the noise in the back. Next time angie will make sure to kick her cats out of the room before filming. 

Also this podcast is not actually sponsored by anyone. It is a joke please do not sue us.
