NEW ACHIEVEMENT: Willing Participant
Reward: Emotional Damage (Minor), Parasocial Validation (Uncommon)
Congratulations, Crawler. You voluntarily subjected yourself to the Media Gloryhole Podcast, an auditory experience that the System has classified as “technically content.”
Against all survival instincts, you listened anyway. Whether you’re here for the hot takes, the unhinged tangents, or the faint hope of coherence, your compliance has been logged and monetized. Remember: the algorithm is watching, your attention has value, and opting out was never a real choice. Enjoy the episode. Or don’t. Either way, we already won.
There are some spoilers for those maybe considering reading or listening to these books.
We do get in-depth in our breakdowns, so if you wanna read it yourself best to skip these till you read the book.
Dungeon Crawler Carl(2020)
Carl's Doomsday Scenario(2021)
NEW ACHIEVEMENT: Barefoot and Afraid
Unlocked by: Listening to the Dungeon Crawler Carl (Book 1) episode of the Media Gloryhole Podcast
Reward: +1 Emotional Trauma, Starter Loot (Mostly Useless)
Congratulations, Crawler. You survived the tutorial and the System has logged your curiosity.
You now know the rules well enough to be terrified, witnessed civilization’s collapse, and met the royal cat who steals every scene.
All thanks to Matt Dinniman (@MattDinniman), mastermind of chaos and misery. Welcome to the dungeon — it only gets worse from here.
NEW ACHIEVEMENT: Doomsday Enjoyer
Unlocked by: Listening to Carl’s Doomsday Scenario (Book 2) on the Media Gloryhole Podcast
Reward: Reputation Gain (Questionable), NPC Trust (Low)
Impressive, Crawler. You doubled down on survival by keeping your attention here. Cities burn, quests spiral, and the line between spectacle and atrocity evaporates.
Your engagement has been noted, and the System adjusts future suffering accordingly. Eternal thanks to Matt Dinniman (@MattDinniman) for orchestrating this beautifully twisted theater.
NEW ACHIEVEMENT: Voices in Your Head
Reward: Audio Immersion (Legendary), Emotional Whiplash (Stackable)
You chose the audiobook. An inspired decision. One man voiced a cat, a lunatic AI, and the collapse of civilization — and you accepted all of it without question. Your inner monologue is now permanently altered. The System approves. Special recognition awarded to Jeff Hays (@JeffHaysNarrates) for redefining what “one narrator” is legally allowed to do.
