one week we get ā€œbig bucketsā€, which causes home runs to occasionally score extra points

later we got fucking HOOPs which do literally the exact same thing but they’re ballin’

Th e cheese monger is fea rmonger but instead of choosing players they choose various cheeses, and instead of executing their target the ye at their target, and instead of playing Blood on hte Clocktower they’re at a cheese tasting…

other things in the blaseball expansion era which still crack me up to think about:

  • tad seeth, the least important character in blaseball history
  • Stables, the most comically pointless stadium modification
  • we got tricked into voting for an extremely obnoxious modification because it was advertised by a picture of a rat eating pizza
  • honestly the grind rails were still an A+ bit

also there were fucking noir detectives who were also wrestlers called Uncle Plasma and Liquid Friend

i’m still undecided as to which of those names is funnier. i think its’ just barely Uncle Plasma

the actually coolest thing expansion era ever did was the library and its’ genuine unfolding of narrative dread solely through showing heavily redacted baseball scorecards that tell the story of an apocalypse that is about to happen again

to be clear, this was both deliberate and genuinely worked narratively. blaseball was so fucking weird

there were so many good completely pointless and annoying mechanics in the EE
i’m a big fan of the one modification that makes it so that whenever you hit a foul ball the count of balls and strikes is randomised

Everybody liked the one where whenever you hit a foul ball the number of birds in your stadium increased by 1, but did they name every single one of their stadium birds. I don’t think so

cheesemonger is cannibal but sourced ethically

i also think the three seasons where the bit was that every single decree election was just ā€œwhich of these incredibly annoying sun-themed modifications would you likeā€ were, in retrospect, so fucking funny

however this did lead to Sun .1 becoming a weather so it’s impossible to tell if this was bad or not
