It makes our hearts swell that a happening new MOTHER server is holding streaming events for our show. ๐ญโฅ๏ธ Come joint the party?
Just like when you see a present box on a nearby cliff, but the path to get it hasn't been revealed yet... See you soon!
Unrelated to our usual video game hi-jinks, Cat and Jess will be at GenCon, the tabletop gaming convention, net week! Cat's got a panel and we'd love to meet up with YOU if you'll be there. More info in the link below! ๐
For the past three years, our co-host, @jessicamudd.bsky.social, has been working on this magnum opus of an actual play podcast. (@catblackard.bsky.social is in it too!) We KNOW you love a heartrending story. Is รtude of the Storm the MOTHER 3 of TTRPG podcasts? Join us and find out!
It's an absolute delight, Remie! We had to share it.
A two panel comic by Remie_REM_Sleep. In panel 1: Ninten, face shadowed, baseball bat on his shoulder, saying, "they didn't come in peace..." Panel two he looks up saying: "so I sent them back in pieces."
Ah!โฅ๏ธ The wonderful @remie64.bsky.social illustrated this moment from episode 2 of "MOTHER," She Wrote. Ninten is so HARD. ๐๐งข
Unearthing some relics for the upcoming interview for @world-of-mother.bsky.social hosted by @biozilla.bsky.social and Echoes... Stay tuned!
@jessicamudd.bsky.social and I really missed an opportunity here.

HAPPY EARTHBOUND DAY! On this day 30 years ago MOTHER 2 debuted in North America as "EarthBound" with a now-legendary localization written predominantly by Marcus Lindblom. It didn't make a big splash at it's debut, but sometimes small ripples become epic waves that reshape the world for the better.
The folks behind this incredible concept album mash up of MOTHER and prog music are being interviewed - and theyโre in need of YOUR inquiring minds.
Cat and Jess eat pizza.
Happy Motherโs Day from your MOTHERs! Eat some pizza and scoot off to bed ๐ฝ๐
Hobonichi has put out a Mother 3 survey for its 19th anniversary. This is open until April 30th:

And now for something completely different! In this episode Cat and Jess share a status update on season 1 but mostly tend to some unfinished business: Cat finally played Jess' favorite game: Final Fantasy VI!
@nyaasu.bsky.social's English translation of the MOTHER 2 gamebook by Enix is out now! I helped playtest it ๐

Unlike "Invasion from the Unknown" (which took A LOT of creative liberties), this feels like an abridged, low difficulty playthrough of the video game.
Jazzy Benson (@jazzyboho.bsky.social), the director of EarthBound, USA, is an indie artist of limited means and her car just died. Show her some PK Love and join us in helping secure her a vehicle so she can continue her work creating powerful and challenging multimedia art!
That gum you like is coming back in style.
Step up folks! Bio is digging deep to find fascinating and forgotten MOTHER/ #EarthBound facts and needs assistance!
For this #AudiodramaSunday just wanted to say I am a huuuuuuuuuge fan of @mothershewrote.bsky.social
The most monumental EarthBound fan film of all-time is here! An Evil Dead-fueled, surreal, slapstick, garlic-munching, midnight movie opus. Don't know what EBSaga is? DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! You'll figure it out! (Just bring a towel, it's gonna get messy) ๐ง๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ youtu.be/fPUnCWwVlMQ?...
