THE LAST UPDATE OF APRIL

Hopefully i caught this week's response! Just wishing you a good weekend and a thanks to you and the Legion for being good dudes. :)

Hey there Tex, very very excited for the Marauder episode! That is the #1 thing I'm looking forward to this month, followed by ED: Odyssey and MW 5 on Steam. Also glad to hear that you're working on not overworking yourself. A Tukayyid Day release would indeed be most excellent, however I am sure the vast majority of us would be fine with delays if it means reduced stress levels. As always, I greatly appreciate you, your comrades, and the collective works of the Legion. My question this week is as follows: What is your favorite sandbox/building game (such as Space Engineers, Minecraft, Stormworks, etc.) and what is the best thing you ever built in it?

Oh, btw, SteveMRE1981, been watching him for a year. Totally agree he is the Bob Ross of MREs. Any other random youtubers you’ve enjoyed? Project Farm is cool. He compares different brands of hardware/home improvement gear in his own garage science way.

Favorite soap brand. I laughed a month ago when Mike talked about Duke Cannon/Naval Supremacy. That’s my favorite artisanal soap so far. Tried Dr. Squatch, didn’t care for it. Have you found any other brands?

#Shorts has been an upcoming meta on YouTube, while I don’t see it as a fit for TTBT. Would you ever consider doing a short form TTBT on one obscure person or place/item?

Here's an idea pulled straight from my ass - Since you are dead set on not having a brand, or doing merch and everyone is clammoring for merch, do merch - for charity. Do a once or twice a year thing (Comstars victory over the clans, and Christmas maybe), where you do "Clan Tabasco Crab", or "Pay your space bills fucko" shirts or hats etc, and let it be known it will be 100% for St Judes, or Toys for Tots, or whatever charity. Charge the whatever for a competent product, and add on (and make it known at every opportunity) a 10% fee above that which will be given to the charity under the name of "Youtubes rejects" or somesuch.

The first Cyberpunk 2077 video was fantastic, I'm hoping there will be many more. As someone that watches a ton of YouTube, I know YT is suppressing notifications and unsubscribing me from channels. Have you thought about posting links to your videos on patreon using the free tier, so people can actually get notifications? Even non-subscribers could follow you that way to get video notifications. Thanks Tex and I'm looking forward to the Marauder video in glorious 4K.

Tex, if you get around to the history of Space AT&T, do you think it would be a "normal" length Tex Talks Battletech, or would it be a glorious 2 part affair like the Amaris Civil War and the History of the Clans?

Gun and Battletech question: 1. M2 .50 cal machine gun is the greatest weapon ever made. In my last deployment, my truck had one from 1945 with the original wood handles (we named it Woody). Why is your favorite machine gun? 2. Are there any notable rank commanders in Battletech? I am adding some head canon to the 3025 Black Widow company for my latest project, and fleshing out some armor support.

Don't read Harry Potter, Rubbish. Read Terry Pratchett if you want your quota of British writers. I suggest Small Gods as a good stand alone or the colour of magic for a series.

I edited the post after rereading it. hopefully it makes more sense now.

With what you've said in TTBT and now this update, I'm like eighty percent sure Van Zandt is at least NEAR Capellan space, in the Deep Periphery. Maybe in or near the Fronc Reaches.

ooooooohhhh can't wait but will because the wait is always worth it. As always do you and be healthy first because we can wait. Did some first time skeet shooting a while ago and it seemed fun. Need to get the time and somehow sell off enough organs to afford the target ammo. Glad you guys have expanded and put so much effort into the art and details of the talks because it always shows. So take my money. This is non-negotiable. I won't take it back. I take pride in being able to support something I enjoy this much and I imagine a lot of the others do too.

If you by some miracle had control of the fully consolidated Battletech IP and a reconstituted FASA was ready to take your marching orders, would you roll-back the universe to deal with things like The Jihad? And if so, how far back would you wanna go? If not, how would you deal with the timeline? Also, you ain't gettin' rid of me or my monies that easily. Baa-aa!!

Ive had some thoughts on 'clan' lore development and id like to get your view,.. I think (originally) their mechs were meant to be hybrid designs of existing units they had taken with them. Like the four iconics. If they had kept that theme I would be much more accepting of them. The 'we design our own stuff and better' thing is too big a stretch for me. Also I think they were originally called 'tribes' and that wasnt just Wolverines being cryptic. Thoughts?

MechMerc

I wonder if all this parasocial stuff will see to a resurgence of all that cult stuff from the '70's.

Kasperl Stormcrow

Entertaining as always! Keep up the grind! It is appreciated!!!

Take all the time y’all need to complete the Marauder video…we appreciate your commitment and passion Question, any pets? And if so…dog v cats?
