So sorry to hear of Meatball’s passing. We have furry four-pawed family members here too. It’s sad to see them venture forward to what lies beyond but they bring so so much warmth and love into our lives. Be well, take care.
I don't understand why the fuck would Hasbro/WotC attack older gamers like myself who have disposable income to spend on this hobby? I've spent thousands of dollars on D&D throughout my 40+ years playing D&D (source books, modules, apps, etc). If they're going to tell me to fuck off then so be it because I can play D&D without WotC since I have books from older editions (since I stopped buying 5E books I've been hunting down older edition books I've lost or never had and not a single cent goes to WotC!).
It's hard to lose a dear pet. We also lost a cat. It was terrible. He died looking into my eyes. Worse, he was only a couple of years old. I'm very sorry for your loss. I assure you that you have my complete empathy and understanding on this.
I was a bit worried when this video came closer in my watch later list, and it really did hit me. Meatball's absence will be felt. I'll probably take forever to no longer expect her to jump into frame at any time...
Unless I am mistaken Hasbro finally got out from under the Disney contract for Star Wars toys. I doubt they learned much, but that frees up some ability to soak up some loss. I'm similar with the "I like medieval in my medieval fantasy" but for some reason I now have this strange urge to place an item or character foul in the game called "Foreskin Restorer". Keep your head up man, thanks for the video!
Instead of removing mixed-culture children (half-orcs, half-elfs) and changing the art the Grand Wizard of the Coast should have made an adventure path or two in an Asian-type or African-type or matriarchal setting. Then judged the sales to determine if the people wanted more of that.
The cat is always stupid for jumping up into places where it's not allowed to go, until you don't have the cat anymore, then you miss the bloody thing.
Musk probably has better things to do with his money and time than to try to buy and manage WOTC. Developing technology for space exploration is more important than RPGs. If he wasn’t Elon Musk, but just somebody with a ton of time, money and a love for D&D, then I’d be enthused for that person. Elon, frankly, has more important things to focus on. I do appreciate his commentary on the disaster WOTC has become.
Indeed. Meatball brought happiness and joy to everyone who watches your channel. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I miss him already. --And I had no idea Elon Musk was a D&D fan. That is actually good to hear.
I missed the news on twitter -- so sorry to hear about Meatball. We have 4 cats ourselves, so well aware their special place in a family. Condolences on your and our loss.
There's anti-woke options for RPG gaming. The OSR, for example: look at my games, The Red Room's wretchedverse, Greg Gillespie's awesome dungeons, Venger Satanis' weird gonzo settings, Alex Macris' ACKS, and many more.
I had no idea your pet passed away! We have lost a few pets. It's never easy. Hang in there! On new DnD we should have a better idea after Christmas (which they would cancel ironically if they could) on where WOTC is going. Musk will only buy WOTC for pennies on the dollar. But if he's opined on it, he's keeping an eye on the fall of WOTC.
Is there anyone out there keeping track of Gen Con demographics every year like, gender, race, age, etc.? I'm wondering if a year or two from now if the Gen Con demographics will change after the D&D 5.24 rules? I'm doubting the new rules and woke art will change anything demographically.
Well, Diversity & Dragon has (as part of his intro video) footage of the opening of Gencon, and you can see nothing but a sea of white people (the vast majority guys). It pretty much demonstrates the real demographics of RPGs.
Musk owning D&D with Pundit as Creative Director would be amazing! (and perfect karma for the destruction that the woke commie left has done to the game)
Yes my condolences on Meatball's passing.
The good news it's that if Musk wanted to buy D&D, it would be roughly equivalent to one of us buying a set of core books.
Spread the word, share the video!
@@drivinganddragons1818 haha
RIP sweet kitty.
Wotc literally brought nothing to the table and they act like they invented D&D
Yes, its disgusting.
Meatball was a good cat and she will be missed by many.
I'm so sorry to hear about Meatball. I will always like your videos but not having Meatball as the peanut gallery is going to be missed.
My condolences. Meatball brought you and so many other nerds joy over the years. That wonderful cat will be dearly missed.
Meatball did her duty.
Yes she did.
I just learned about Meatball's passing. I'm so sorry. She'll be missed 😞
D&D, the Bud light of RPGs. This is what happens when the inmates run the asylum.
Same woke idiots hard at work being cray cray.
Spread the word, share the video!
Meatball was a great pet and companion.
She will always be part of the show, in spirit.

My next Jumpchain world will have Meatball, Fred, and Peanut as deities. I am sorry for your loss.
Hard to lose a friend. Stay strong, Pundit! Keep kicking.
Did not expect the Musk damnation. Interesting times.
Oh no. Condolences. 💐. Dogs and cats really become part of the family and it’s hard to lose them.
11:55 this so true. The abandonment of merit has created a crisis of competence in the West. But things are turning back to merit.
Indeed. Spread the word, share the video!

Well, I explained the logic behind the idea in this video, and why that logic is fatally flawed.
They want us (Gen X and older) GONE.
Naked bigotry.
They just want us gone. Naked bigotry.
Not one Copper Piece!
MD&DGA!
Same here. AD&D and B/E all the way! Too much investment in these editions,, which I totally adore....
20:32 as the Japanese say - “the customer is god”. Western companies have forgotten this. So let’s make them remember.
In Germany it's "Der Kunde ist König" ("The customer is King"). I saying that quite a few companies need reminding of, in many countries.

I keep expecting that too.
so sorry to hear about Meatballs, she was a lovely cat.
My condolences. She was great. I’m glad we got to hang out with her too.
There is no spoon. There is no wider audience.

Suddenly that table with your books on it is very empty. No Meatball.
Yes, it very much is.
The new "audience" they are getting is so unstable they could just as easily leave them if they offend them in any way.
Spread the word, share the video!
Wow. I hadn't heard. My dog passed a few years ago, so I understand the loss. My condolences!
Our Daily Meatball has left us. Our life is diminished.
I am sorry to learn of Meatball's passing. May your grief pass with time, and the memories remain.
Man... RIP meatball
I am very sorry to hear about Meatball. She will be miss.
My condolences for Meatball!
So sorry to hear about Meatball! She will be missed, but remembered! 😺 ❤
Great points here! Hopefully this stranglehold is starting to break!
Thank you. Spread the word, share the video!
Oh no, I hadnt heard about Meatball. I myself own two cats and one of them is getting up there in age. She will be missed.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Meatball, whom I know meant the world to you.
Thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate that. Spread the word, share the video!
Dang, sorry to hear about Meatball. Hope, it was a peaceful one.
Well, the good thing is that she was healthy and fit for almost her entire life, she was only really sick for about four days before she died.
Meatball was legendary. I am sorry for your loss.
deep condolences for meatball, may she play happily on in the next life

Kitty in heaven, Habroooooo in hell.
Meatball's gone?!?!
Our condolences 😢.
Waitj, wait....they made Bigby a gnome? WTF?? God's sakes I despise these WotC slimeballs.
Yup. Much to Rob Kuntz's chagrin.
As a cat lover, my condolences. I hope your new book does well.
I got the coke-a-cola ai ad lol. Edit also sorry for your loss of meatball, have spaghetti in their honor
My condolences.
Rest in cat Elysium Meatball.
Noooo, meatball ;_;
Sorry about your cat, buddy.
Hey, I’m really sorry about Meatball. I’ll be sure to keep you in my prayers.
Thank you!

So glad I left the hobby. Every time I miss it, I read the hate directed at Elon on Reddit and EN World and breathe a sigh of relief.

I think 'latinx' is pronounced 'la-tinks'.
It's not pronounced anything
Damn so sad... take care.
If Musk did acquire DnD, I'm making an X account to yell at him daily to give Mr. Welch Mystara
That would be great, but I don't think Musk buying D&D is too likely to happen.
@@RPGPundit oh I don't think he would either, but if he did I have a mission XD
HAIL MEATBALL !!!
FUCK, that is HALE MEATBALL... I only HAIL the RPGPundit !
Have you played Tekumel ?
I did, not very much, but yes. A bit too weird to be relatable, but very interesting for its time.
D&D has fallen. *CHA'ALT*
And soon, Ch'o'rt!

I doubt he'll buy WotC.

There is doom and gloom while things go boooooom... in Tenser's LAAAB~

The worst part about pets is that they don't live as long as you do. Sorry for your loss.
Incompetent businessmen ruined the world?
In part, yes.
Musk owning D&D with Pundit as Creative Director would be amazing! (and perfect karma for the destruction that the woke commie left has done to the game)
It sure would be. Though I doubt either will be likely.
I like to think Meatball had his paw on Elons hand for that tweet, he knew how much WOTC bothered you.
Nice thought! Spread the word, share the video.
