Hello, and we have been chatting across the interwebs today.

We've been talking about games that we wish we could play, but we don't quite have

the time for and other things like TV releases that are on our radar.

We usually do a bit of the pre-show chat dedicated to other media than Minecraft, because

oh boy, we've got a lot of talking about Minecraft to do.

So if you want to listen to any of that, if you're interested in getting a broader look

at what Joel and I do in our spare time and whatnot, you can get in on the extended conversation

by becoming a patron at patreon.com slash the spawn chunks.

That gets you access to the extended version of the podcast, which we call the Render Distance.

It is the first episode of November, oh gosh, it's November already, thank you so much

to our patrons for your continued support.

It's always lovely to have you folks here.

We had a bumper monthly Minecraft hangout last month, which was a lot of fun, and we'll

have another one at the end of November talking about what everyone's been up to this

month.

We've also got things like our chunk mail dispenser episode, which was effectively funded

by our patrons, and we'll probably have a quarterly hangout coming up towards the end

of the year where we go through the facts and figures of the podcast.

If you sign up to the Patreon, you've got all that and more to look forward to.

So what have you been up to this past week in Minecraft?

This past week has been a busy one, and not just because Empire's S&P is hosting a

bunch of the Hermits now, although they are helping a great deal with the feeling of busyness.
