My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as always is my friend Johnny, but you may know him better as board games pixel riffs on the internet.

Hello, sir.

Hello, I'm somehow bored games, Pixariffs, right now, tabletop games in general, pixel riffs. And we've been talking a little bit about the tabletop games that we like to play with friends and family, and a little bit about fashion since I got a little bit of new Minecraft merch in the post recently. That's all in the Render Distance, which is the extended version of the podcast, which you can get at patreon.com slash the spawn chunks. Pledging at any of the paid tears there

gets you into our Discord. You can participate in hangouts. And our next monthly hangout is going

to be coming up in January of 2026, where we'll cover both December and January of what our

patrons have been up to in Minecraft. Also in February, we should have one of our quarterly hangouts where we talk about all the behind the scenes facts and figures of the podcast, talk about download numbers, YouTube metrics, all of that stuff. So if any of that interests you, once again, patreon.com slash the spawn chunks. And good news, if you're thinking about signing up now, we have an end of year discount running from December 22nd until the 31st. So you've

still got a couple of days to capitalize on that. You can get 20% off your first month on

selected tiers. Just use the code chunk 25 at the checkout. And you should get a nice discount on

your first little period supporting the Sporn Chunks podcast. Coming up this week on the show, we touch on the first info for a snapshot in 2026,

discuss some emails from our listeners about Copper Gollum's subtle subtitle accessibility

and dungeon upgrades.

Yes, lots of mail in the mailbag as always.

Let's kick off with the quick login though, Joel. What have you been up to on the Citadel this week?

It has been an interesting week. I needed to start to think about the inside of the command center. So I currently had this square staging area of shulker boxes, which has been in some of the

screenshots recently. And I thought, you know what? I've got these giant wings. There's more than enough room for me to set up a temporary storage area. So I just kind of took the rough design of like the three by three shulker boxes stuck in a wall with some barrels in between for the extra stuff that I don't need all the time and moved it up into the inside of one of the wings.

It was also a good test to see like how. with some barrels in between for the extra stuff that I don't need all the time and moved it up into the inside of one of the wings.

It was also a good test to see like how much room is in there.

And what's nice about it is that there's plenty of room for some depth and design of the walls.

And it's actually narrower than the existing staging area I had.
