Post "SUPER THREAD OF QUESTIONS FOR PATREON!!!" by "Mint & Matara" from patreon

Ryos

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Mint and Matara's Summer Special! Time to rewatch all the videos on the same day but this year! HAGS 2025!

Keyul Patel

I know its not a question but I want to thank Mint and Matara for making this one of the best summers since I started working. Every week I had something to look forward to and it pushed me to go out and enjoy summer more. This podcast may be over but my feelings for this summer will be there forever. HAGS FOREVER

Mint & Matara

You will get the postcard of your month, once everyone is shipped out and if we have any postcards left we might make them available as a last chance buy

Mint & Matara

We are dropping all tiers to 1$ since the podcast is ended :)

Keyul Patel

Yeah i noticed that as well

Petal

I'm also not seeing Episode 11 & 12 but I could def be missing them somehow?

Keyul Patel

I joined this month and am going back through the episodes. am i crazy or is there no episode 18

SlackerZach

Should I have any reason to continue with the highest tier? No hate but it's expensive with the end of the podcast

Ristwach

Same! I just saw Advarcher's illustration for the final postcard and signed up today (Pay Day).

Aisu Asai

If I get the highest tier of the podcast now, would I get any postcards since the podcase is over?

Nicholas Traczyk

Mint & Matara Top Gun watchalong double-feature

Murphy REAL

Before it ends: what are the top things that surprised you about the podcast or the summer in general that you couldn’t have predicted or imagined, and what’s the biggest piece of advice you’d give to yourselves in April when this was all beginning?

BagelBuddy

Now that summer is winding down, what are you looking forward to the most at fall?

Lustful_bug

A question from my mom upon seeing the postcards. "Why are her (Mata's) boobs so big and her (Mint's) boobs just normal?

redwolf 9003

Hi Minto and Mata I love you both but my question for mint mostly is what is your favorite and least favorite thing about idols?

Tio Namusan

Henlo Mom and Minto, out of curiosity i wanted to ask, how did you went about asking for collabs back when you girls werent as popular as you are now?

Miyoko Itoo

Hi Hi this is a question for both of you but how do yall feel about fans stopping you outside of meet and greets like in the artist alley? I usually try to pick up body language to determine if I should walk up to a vtuber to say hi or not, like if they seem overwhelmed or busy i just leave them be, but I was wondering what yalls thoughts are and if it's okay or not. Also yall are amazing keep up the hard work you 🫶🏻

NAM TRAN

Hello girls! Thank you so much for the Podcast so far; I was wondering if you have any advice for people who have a desk job and have to sit all day. I imagine streaming has you sitting a lot and was hoping to hear how you two handle such a sedentary life style too. Thanks again for all your hard work♥

Lustful_BALD

Mata's answered this on stream before. You're a momo when you consider yourself a momo. No action is required.

Lustful_BALD

The other day I saw Mint show interest in heavy rubber/encasement fetish, and it made me wonder. If your co-host got deeply involved in a new niche/controversial hobby (rubber/furry/MilSim etc.) would you be willing to do an episode on it or go to a con with them?

Lustful_BALD

If you had a $30k USD premium fan experience package what would be included? Either together or separately.

Lucy First

To Mata and Minto. The coasters are sold out, will there be a restock before the podcast ends?

Fen

Hi both! Thank you for your always-entertaining content. A question for Mint: I understand you are a Touhou buff. How much of your design was inspired by Youmu Konpaku?

Tachtzehn

Do either of you have a preferred method of donation (Superchat/Streamlabs/Superthanks/Membership Gift/IDK how Twitch works) for your individual YT/Twitch channels? What about for viewers who can't always make it live? Are any methods easier to work with on your end than others? (Such as when budgeting or reporting earnings)

Hazmat

Did either of you ever host or attend a LAN party? Xbox, PC doesn't matter. Some of the fondest memories I have are from birthdays in High School where we would get together and Geek out HARD, guys and gals. We'd do Karaoke (Linkin Park FTW) and Rock Band, eat Pizza, have 4 TVs in a room for 16-player splitscreen, tabletop games etc until sunrise. I feel they really brought people together and dearly miss em.

Tyr.iii

When you feels like suddenly you just out of inspiration or energy to do anything what did you do ?? I've been like this for 3-4 months and it's super annoying.

Private Q

Has Mint seen the old web series Modern Gear? It might be good for a watch along if she hasn't

Nicholas Traczyk

Request: End of Summer Special! Mint & Matara watch an NFL preseason game or Week 1 game!

Caleb Franklin

Mint's topic in the last podcast had me curious about one of my favorite less well known anime. Are either of you fans of Genshiken? Manga or anime version (maybe it isn't obscure, but I never see it mentioned anywhere)

Rookie

Since you both have made multiple trips to Japan I would like to ask what advice could you give to help make planning a trip there more affordable? Things like time of year, flights, etc.

Leo (npcbyday) ✧

have you guys had a moment in your life where looking back you feel glad something didnt work out?

easejimi

Is either of you good with keeping plants? Do you have a green thumb?

Viperidae

For both mint and Matara, if streaming were to end, what would be your back up plans?

Steven Daniel

I'm not sure if this was asked yet but would yall consider having a PO box for fans to send stuff? I have a couple Metal Gear items that need a good home.

Miyoko Itoo

What keeps yall going in life when you hit a wall/ stand still?

Suigintou

I heard you like paranormal stuff Minto! Have you read or listened to anything from the SCP wiki? The plot lines can get pretty crazy sometimes.

Jacob Jeffrey

What do you do when you find yourself In a rut I don't really mean burnt out. I more mean what do you do when you find yourself bored of your same old routine and all your usual hobbies or interests just don't seem to do it for you? Much love and I love the pod ❤️

OMOSHIROI KUN

You answered the conbini question in episode 12! Still wonding about the beef bowl chains xD

MissVirgo

I will move to my first own apartment soon, do you have advice, tips or funny stories to tell about your first own apartment 😗

arashi astrum

So you know the metal gear solid series, but do you know Zone of the enders? Also, zone of the ender: 2nd runner, there is a character very similar appearance to Matara, called Ken Marinaris!

Hazmat

Unnecessarily deep question! Have you thought about how much you brighten people's lives with what you do? I wouldn't know the streamer's perspective. But, you know, just picturing people watching you/listening to you while at work, shifting through papers, messing with spreadsheets, stuck in traffic, working out, drawing, rocking the little one to sleep, drinking, and know that you cheer us up and make us relate, debate, and laugh through our own daily responsibilities and challenges? Of course you've been there before as fans of your own oshis! But, how about now, having been on the other side of the screen and mike for some time now, knowing that your random comment might've made someone burst out laughing while grocery shopping? A little open ended, mostly because it's a combination of a question and also appreciating what you do! If it's not obvious yet, you've made me smile while doing all the things above :)! Much love!

MBK

Hi!! Have you guys ever suddenly had big shifts in the way you see certain things? Like how people behave or understanding things? What's the story behind them?

Rafa Knight

Hey there you two! Been loving to watch all your podcasts each week on a quiet monday night...! Is there anything really weirdly specific that you two can think of that, when it happens to you/ you see it in front of you/etc it really grinds your gears and pisses you off a lot ?

Nyuimo

Has there been a 'Well, that just happened' moment so far into the podcast? It could be OffKai, Japan trip, or just random stream moments.

zenofold

Mint, have you played Ragnarok Online? Matara, what RO classes did you enjoy? This old nerd needs to know!

PolkaEnjoyer3000

When does someone become a wisp or a momo? Do they need to buy a sub/membooship or merch? Is it when they follow on twitch or subscribe on youtube? Or is it just when they decide they like watching you? I've always wondered where streamers draw the line on who counts as a fan.

Selias

Matara, what are your favorite dead parent jokes?

Marcel Cabato

Have you seen the Matrix? I feel like it's one of those movies that is recontextualized with stuff like VR and Vtubing/streaming. To spice it up, if you were a Matrix character, who would you be?

cobatts

ohaminto! I finally posted the hydrangea pictures I promised. hope you like em ☺️ https://twitter.com/Cobatts/status/1797612979804094504

SaltyVon

I dont have any questions I just wanted to say hi :)

Samuel Dennis

A question for both of you: if you had an infinite budget, and no copyright issues to worry about, what would be your dream project?

micahlynx

hey mata and mint, i was wondering if there will be a vod of the offkai panel for those who missed the stream? :)

Scott Dier

Panel at a certain UK expo when? :)

Kuro-pi

Question for Mint (sorry Matara). I wasn't able to attend Anime North myself since I was on the other side of the country unfortunately, but I saw some awesome videos and clips on twitter and discord. As somebody who is really big into idols in Japan, how did it feel to be the one everybody was waving the penlights at (in real life, not just chat) instead of the one holding the penlights, for a change? You absolutely killed Sousei no Aquarion by the way (in a good way, of course).

Aarodar

What are your biggest regrets that still haunt you, if you have none do you have advice for getting out of the regretful mindset?

Shrimp

Can you show us your skincare routine? :D

Rode Tovenaar

If you were a cocktail, what would you be, or what kind of base spirit would be in it? Definitely not asking for secret Offkai hotel meetups...

FeliciaIsMaiWaifu

Is there anyone you two want to collab with, either currently active or not, with whom you haven't already? If so, what would you like to do in a collab with them?

Gerry

If either of you could choose any real-life car to have turned into an itasha for you, what would it be?

Paul L Smith

I definitely am tired of the superficial friendship.

Sidewinder Zero

I have a hard time making new connections outside of my small circle. Honestly, I like what they said in episode 3, don't be afraid to be yourself, better a connection with people who care to listen to you while you do the same, rather than some superficial friendship with someone.

Sidewinder Zero

I've begun streaming recently, playing mainly my own favorite games (such as Ace Combat, Mechwarrior, and racing games) albeit at a very part time basis because of my day job's stresses. I have had 1 or 2 viewers on a consistent basis, but feel like I just feel like I'm not doing enough to be entertaining, but also being introverted, it's hard for me to feel like I can do something more during the gameplay at the same time. Any tips to get over this so-called block I'm feeling, or anything you two think would help gain a feeling of fulfillment even with a low view count?

Amaii Jelli

Have you learned or listened to any Kaigai idols? The idol scene in North America has grown exponentially. So many new original idols are popping up in the scene and I wanted to know if you listen to or follow any and what are your thoughts on the community?

foncomics

what's your favorite aspect of your current jobs? it's fun to look at the past, but how are you guys feeling?

BagelBuddy

What are you guys' top 10 favorite songs? I am curious what kind of music both of you ladies love since you guys are passionate about singing? I think it would be a good tangent into like what kind of music you guys enjoy growing up? What artists (indie or pop) are you guys following now?

Jimes

Hey Mint and Matara, i was wondering what are some pieces of media (Games,Anime,Books,Movies) that could sum up what you have been interested in lately? e.g i have been interested in fantasy manga that focus on party relationships like dungeon meshi and frieren beyond journeys end that focus on characters learning about each others boundaries and learning to trust people to do things your not the best at.

kitten of the yarn persuasion

It’s so cool to see two vtubers who are good friends pulling off a long-term collab like this! You mentioned your streams happening to overlap a lot in a recent episode and I got to wondering: is it frustrating for either of you when there are barriers to collaborating with friends who are also vtubers (such as schedule conflicts)? Or is that mostly something you can keep separate from your friendships? - From Kit

Sento Kiryu

Hello Mint and Matara! Hey Boss man, I just found out Bandori will have their own pachinko machine and I was wondering where you found & bought your MGS pachislot for future reference. I was a huge Bandori fan before I discovered Vtubers, so I still feel a strong attachment to the franchise even though I'm not as up to date right now (yes I'm a disloyal and fake fan 😞). I think I remembered Mint mentioning Bandori before, did you have a favorite band and/or girl? Arisa is my favorite tsundere, but I love Saaya for her caring and older sister personality (and I love Hasshi!) -From a ThiccYamabukiBread

biribiri7

This is probably more a question towards Matara given how Mint is an extreme introvert (dw it's a charm point) (just like me!) but I think a lot of people have experienced how one's social circle tends to get very small as you go through adult life. I personally do occasionally catch up with old friends/colleagues that I was particularly close to, but I find that I'm almost never in a position to actually meet someone new, and going further, actually meet people who are keen to also continue keeping up with each other after the initial meet. Funnily enough, most of my friends are in a similar position but are less worried about it as they are generally settling down with partners/life while I am the classic single friend visiting my mate's new kid lmao. The usual advice is always the same: "just go out more", "join an hobby/interest group" etc but the former is definitely more for people who actually enjoy going out to bars/clubs, and the latter can be difficult to find (or find the courage to find!). Have you had any good (or bad!) experiences when looking to join those types of groups as an adult? Do you have any tips on how to find them, or even how to mentally approach it? Do you have any other suggestions on navigating our lonely world? EDIT: I just noticed that someone above had a very similar question to me but without the rambling; if you get to that one consider this one answered too~

Aelux5216

Hi Mint & Mantara, As a new streamer/vtuber I was wondering if you had any tips for new people, maybe some advice some stories from way back when you both started as solo creators back in the day, how to grow without any initial connections in the streaming world, if you had a timeframe for yourself of when you knew if it would work or not, any content creation styles you adopted or if you just did what you wanted for the most part etc. (I know you already did a beginner podcast on this stuff but I don't think these things were told/covered)

David 「Titanium」P

do you ever just find something that reminds you of something you were passionate about a long time ago but you didn't even remember until just then? Feels like memory from a different person, like a nostalgia you didn't know you had

Kodi

If you were in charge of organizing a 4 person collab with any 3 other people, alive or dead, who would you have and what would the collab be?

Ed

How do I have fun attending Offkai Expo alone? Any tips or advice appreciated, thank you! Hint: I may be more like Mint (it took me 3 days to muster up bravery to even ask this) than Matara; but I 💚🩷❤️ the yin-yang dynamic in everything you both do!

Mitsudzuri

When traveling, are you the type that plans things down to the minute or do you freestyle your trips? Has this ever caused issues when you travel with people of the other type?

Toshi

Do you know the concept of 'Mono no aware' (the beauty of impermanence, an empathy towards things, etc)? What are moments that give you these kinds of feelings? Like for me it's when I stare out and look at the scenery on a train during my commute and see beauty in the mundane scenery of daily life

TheBeardedStranger

Are there any content creators you follow, even though you don't necessarily care that much about their main subject matter? As an example; I don't care about speed running videogames personally, but I love to watch SummoningSalt's deep dives on the topic because his passion for it shows so clearly in his videos.

jaithe

Have either of you seen Samurai Flamenco? If not, what is one show you deeply love but either cannot recommend it without a laundry list of disclaimers or cannot explain why you recommend it without heavy spoilers?

Murphy REAL

I know Mint is obviously a huge fan of live music and I definitely vibe with a lot of Matara's tastes too - is there any particularly favorite or especially memorable concert experiences you've had? I remember the first time I saw my favorite band and lots of other experiences, but I think my favorite might still be at a hardcore show where in between sets they used Paramore's "Still Into You" as bumper music and the whole crowd sang with it. Nothing like a good singalong!

Adam Hasan

Any idea when your Momocon meet and greets will go on sale? Definitely hope to see you both

Wooomy STOP CROPPING MY NAME PLEASE

Will either of you marry me? If not, when precisely will you?

Aarodar

What do you do to get out of a rut?

CoffeePooPoo

Mint: can you please tell us more about your trip to Antarctica? The process and experience and was Drake’s passage really rough to cross? Also would love it if you both end up hiking Mt Fuji, if you could tell us more about the process for that too and if a guide is needed? Both are things I also really want to do one day. Thank you!!

Marcel Cabato

I know this is kind of cheating for a question, but... Mint: have you seen any of ChipCheezum's MGS LetsPlay's? I love how informative, funny, and well edited they are, especially MGSV's Big Boss/Venom Snake/Vapor Snake playthroughs. Matara: have you seen the Astartes youtube series? Peak Fanwork of WH40k. Amazing animation, tone, and weight to the mechanics of the setting.

Andrew Brown

I want to stream as a hobby, but at present it is not possible until a living situation has changed. ;3

Andrew Brown

I have recently been exploring more hobbies and things to bring joy in my life. I've started drawing and learning a new language, and I'm trying to explore creative outlets! So my question to the both of you, is what hobbies aside from streaming can you recommend to help me feel more fulfilled or find more joy?

WildestDuck

Just curious for the both of you how you guys established/realized your brainrots. Like for Mint's MGS brainrot and Matara's Warhammer brainrot, did you have a point where something clicked that made you go "this is my life now" or something similar? Or was it just a gradual progression to obsession that you can't really pinpoint a moment that changed your brain chemicals permanently. (It doesn’t have to be MGS or Warhammer btw just whatever brainrot you have)

Paul L Smith

I can’t remember if I had asked a question or not if I have feel free to skip. My question is to both of you. I’m turning 32 this month and I have no social life any tips or recommendations or does/don’ts when it come to making social connections? I would also love to get feedback from the community as well if I can.

PolkaEnjoyer3000

What's your most regrettable gaming purchase?

AlexSCG

What are some good places to go for idol lives in Japan? Or rather, what are some places to go when you're starting to get into the culture?

Brett Mackenzie

Hey Mintara loving the podcast so far. My question is for Matara, what Book or other media would you suggest to Mint to get her more into 40k? And follow up for Mint, Which MGS (Metal Gear Solid) game made you fall in love with the whole franchise?

Evan's Kazoo Covers

I'll ask three different questions each with a different level of...deepness? You don't have to answer them all but I'd love to hear your thoughts! Deep level 1 - Has there ever been a time when an intrusive thought came up in your head and you acted on it? Was it by accident, on purpose, what happened? Deep Level 2 - What brings you the greatest joy in life, but isn't something you talk about much? Mint your maids and idols dont apply for this question as you talk about them often Deep Level 3 (the deepest) - You wake up tomorrow morning, to find out your mind has time-leaped to May 1st, 2014. You retain all knowledge of events up to this time, including both of your life and of the world's events. How do you live your life differently? Are there any regrets you would try to rectify? Decisions you would decide differently on? Thanks for everything you do guys, love listening to these at work. If you have any kazoo song requests I'm suffering from a bit of block at the moment too lol see you both at Offkai! I cant wait!

Mitsudzuri

Do you ever revisit the things you liked when you were younger? Old anime, games, music? What things were you a fan of?

mistfist

If you were a boss in Metal Gear Solid, what would your title be, and what gimmick would you have?

SolidMarine21

What movie you guys enjoy that was at the it’s so bad it’s good territory? like examples like The Room.

Garlemald

Not a question for the podcast but is there a reason you don't add the Special Highlights channel as a featured channel on the main podcast channel and vice-versa?

CubicPhantom

What's been your favorite project to work on (disregarding how you feel about the finished art or content)? Rambling stories please.

Marcel Cabato

What is your experience with Nico Nico Douga? I feel like a lot of vtubers/vtuber culture comes from the utaite/ music cover artists (e.g. not showing face, having pseudonyms etc.)

Dahneggan

What are some of the podcasts that inspired you to make you own?

Vapor

With idols performing across a variety of musical genres what makes an idol an idol? Is there something specific they share or is it simply if they call themselves an idol or not?

Makoto

Question for Mint: Have you ever taken vocal lessons and, if so, was it a part of your journey to become an idol like Dempagumi?

AidedFaun841

I've noticed minor sports injuries from my youth (torn some stuff in my knees). Keep flaring up and making it hard to run/be active as I'm use to. As two decrepit hags any tips on staying active as your body falls apart.

LadyRose

Spicy question so prepare yourself. Something I really always wonder about this type of job. Why do I feel like a lot of vtuber content, the ones that are usually girls being vtubers, feel a lot like “horny baiting” and being oriented for a very specific type of audience? I feel uncomfortable when that almost always happens, but I do genuinely love the podcast, and the chemistry you 2 have. Not talking about the podcast, but just vtubers in general. hope you are having a great day!

Orb

You were talking about the possibility of climbing Mt Fuji, is there any other mountains or trails (or even camping spots) you could recommend for people that want to get out in nature a bit more? Could be in Japan or anywhere else you've travelled previously!

Tio Namusan

What are your opinion on "playing with viewers on stream"? in either party games/big lobby games like mario kart or MMOs and coops like deep rock galactic, helldivers or l4d2

DandelionYellow

Do either of you have any fun stories from traveling abroad? (Besides Japan)

DandelionYellow

what are some fun pet stories you guys have?

GodlikeKott

While working off-stream, what do you do to stay focused? If you listen to music on the side - any artists you can recommend?

Ray Mack

When I go to a maid cafe can I say "aishiteru" to all of the maids? Or is that too embarassing?

Zachary House

Is there a series, game or show, that you want to get into but just haven't for any reason?

Aarodar

What is your least favorite trope in anime?

CaBoomse

I'm not sure if I'm late, but may as well ask : If you guys had the chance to start over in life, keeping your memories and knowledge, but starting fresh with a new family and new experience, would you? I guess as a follow up second question to that : If you didn't keep your memories and knowledge, just a clean slate, would you still do it?

SmashPotat

if you had to pick between yogurt and cheese, what would you choose?

SeventhMage

If accidentally took a pill that shrunk your body would you then restart your life or would you take the cure which will be given to you after 5 years of being shrunk?

SeventhMage

Lol good one

val3ntin307

Favorite flavor ice cream and why is it mint chocolate chip?

cobatts

oh also! what are some of your favorite flowers? I'll try to get pictures of them at work

Leo (npcbyday) ✧

Hello!! how do you think you guys would hold up in a zombie apocalypse? what kind of strategy would you have and would you survive long?

LadyRose

Very important question Could the roach lady give me a pat? Pwease… :3

Clockwerk9000

what is your favorite thing to cook and why?

PolkaEnjoyer3000

This question is for Mint, the world's leading expert in maid cafes. I apologize in advance. My friend loves to threaten me with the fact that in his will, it states that it will be my responsibility to take his ashes to japan and throw them in the face of a Japanese maid. Do you know of any maid cafes that might be weird enough to be into this? For the record, this friend is healthy and not expected to die soon. Thanks for your advice, even if it's "Don't do that."

Cirnon

Hi Mint and Matara! I'll be going to Japan next month and will be staying for a whole year, so I wanted to know how have your experiences been staying there and if you have any tips for someone going there for an extended time.

Destin slade

What are some good car riding beats

Ladiesman217

Do you think Big Boss continued to believe in Santa until he died?

MissVirgo

which video game character would you marry and why? (Love you two btw. Kiss kiss 😘)

GilNic

My question is for the both of you: What made you both interested in streaming in the first place? You both have great on-screen personalities and you're immensely entertaining, so as a fan I'm obviously happy about it. But I've always been curious what made the shy and introverted Mint and (as you described yourself) very private Matara want to share themselves with the world. And again thank you so much for doing so, and please keep at it.

micahlynx

hey mint and matara! been loving the podcast sm :) since you guys are going to be at a lot of cons this summer, i was wondering what your first ever convention was and the experience you had with that?

I was curious, in the way Metal Gear Solid 1 is a top down shooter but shot through the lens of 80's and 90's action cinema, and Warhammer is a table top war sim built out of certain impulses of 50's military sci-fi and 80's maximalist dark and edgy comic book aesthetics, are there any genre's or aesthetics you'd like to see mixed together with various types of games? For example Blue Reflection is a game series that mixes the Magical Girl Genre with some Persona style JRPG mechanics which works so much better than it has any reason to.

What’s a place you haven’t been yet that you would want to travel to?

Captain Invictus

What is the worst and/or most dangerous phrase in the human language? To me, it's "eh, fuck it", it has resulted in so much trouble, injury, mistakes, and missed opportunities for me over the years.

in the spirit of summer, what do you think the best summer toy is? I think those little water torpedo ones are cool and beach balls are classic. Bonus points for a mini tier list!!

Do you have any particular firmly held fundamental beliefs/practices that you think help shape your experience or perspective in life (and afterlife)? I'll give a couple examples because I worded that pretty abstractly. Practicing mindfulness is a consistent factor in my day-to-day life that actively impacts the decisions I make, how I perceive the occurrences of my life (like being appreciative of small or quiet moments that might otherwise be unnoticed), etc. Another completely different example is I know other people who might say that fostering pets is core to their identity and lifestyle. Just curious if anytjing comes to mind for you two :) Thanks for taking your time to take questions!

what kind of things would you two like to do together besides the podcast?

I know there's likely to be a lot of typical questions/overlapping questions you've answered before, so I'll try make this as unique as I can. Let's say life so far is broken up into 4 chapters, childhood, teen years, young adult (16-25) and "real" adult (26+). If you can recall, what were the key inspirations/fascinations to you at each time? Say, for example, the key hobbies, song/band and/or genre of music, and media that you consumed. I'd love to get to understand a little more what lives crafted two of the neatest people I've had the pleasure of enjoying these last few...months ;D As an example, my childhood hobbies were football ⚽️, gaming and BMX with a hint of unimpressive free-running, apparently I used to love Elvis songs (my Gran's favourite) but grew up listening to everything thanks to my mum, and I couldn't get enough Scooby Doo or Spongebob Squarepants watched! Pretty certain this is also when my mum showed me and my sister that terribly brilliant 70's DnD cartoon, as well as an 80's cartoon series called Ulysses 31, the theme song for which still comes back with a vengeance as an earworm easily 18 years after last hearing it xD

I know people often talk about the pros of content creation, what are some elements y'all miss from working a normal 9-5? eg: predictable income, easier to file taxes, less exposed to online etc.

Hi Mintara, hope you two are having a nice recording session! I know you two are super passionate about making projects, but you're both some busy people. How do you find the time/motivation to keep chipping away at them? Do you two like to work in bursts of energy, or do you two chip away at things slowly? [For context, I have a bunch of passions and projects I love working on and bring me great joy (making resin dice, world building for Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, other fun nerd things) but I have a hard time chipping away at them and I feel a little ashamed of letting them fester. I really do love them, but often I'm busy, and sometimes when I DO have time I just sit there, not knowing how to get back into it and getting just as little done. I feel bad for not working on my passion babies :(]

Do you two think there will ever be guests on the podcast, or are you planning on keeping it to just you two? Anyone you might want to invite (or leaks of whos already in the talks)?

Jorunna Parva

What are some food related pet peeves that you two have. For example, I don't like when people waste large amounts of food proportional to a small amount of an ingredient they don't like being included. Recently, a friend of mine didn't eat a large chunk of rice because of some pickled radishes were on top, they didn't even bother taking the radishes off in order to just eat the rice.

Christian Silva

what size shoe do you both wear?😈

Cdog

Did you both always get along when you first met each other or did you two grow close over time?

mistfist

If you could design one outfit for the other to wear, what would it look like? Something cool, something cute, something they would love, something you think they'd look good in?

2Phan

No budgets or limitations, what would be on the top of the list to do or make videos of?

Take turns, one of you leave the recording while the other says something, and then have the other do the same. Only the editor, and viewers, knows the full story. It could be something about the other that you don't want them to hear, or it could be something Goofy, or it could be a bet on how you think the podcast recording will go! Ganbatte editor!

William Ambervein

So when the podcast is over will the Patreon be closed down? I feel like that might be a standard question just to cover bases

The Phantomnaut

Since you guys got into holes together such as Metal Gear, what other holes do you both want to explore (video games specifically but alright with outside gaming)?
