Every week, Now You Know recaps the Know Direction content of the past week, previews the Know Direction content of the week to come, as the director of operations, Ryan Costello, shares his thoughts on the state of the network.
Blargh.
As you might have noticed, I missed last monday’s Now You Know and last Friday’s Upshift. I’ve been dealing with a rogue illness. I spent Sunday on the couch, but mostly fine. Then Monday I woke up and regretted that decision instantly. Tuesday I was on the mend and felt good enough to go to work. Wednesday was revenge of the illness, and probably the worst I felt the whole time. I cancelled the Upshift recording Jason because it hurt to talk, and I genuinely worried my voice might permanently change. And that’s my trademark! People didn’t even know I had a face for the first five years I was podcasting.
Thursday started the “I am on the mend, I’ll probably feel all better by tomorrow” trend that continues to today. But tomorrow! Tomorrow I’ll be all better.
Network Update
Know Direction: Beyond has me working muscles that haven’t moved in eight months. I made an event promoting a live recording.
It’s good to have Beyond back. Not only does it revive our stagnant Twitch and YouTube channels, but it’s an exciting time to be a Starfinder player. Starfinder Enhanced looks to revise the game’s rules while commiting to this edition of the game for the time being. And while John and Jason do a good job touching on the biggest Starfinder news when they banter on Digital Divination, having a dedicated Starfinder news, reviews, and interviews podcast back on the network feels good.
Speaking of network content, here are the articles and podcasts that released last week:
