"ACK-47" is the original name of the show's unfinished Discord bot for the show intended to allow viewers to perform interactions with the show through commands in text as an alternative to the buttons from the GamesFromTheDrunkSide.com website. Named after Anna Kendrick, (her Twitter account is @AnnaKendrick47, so Koop just added her middle name in the assumed association and ran with it) the concept for the bot was dropped when Koop had a good portion of functionality working under testing, and then realized that it wasn't going to be able to process commands forwarded from Twitch and YouTube due to a restriction on how such messages are handled from Discord (to avoid potentially malicious or poorly coded bots from causing flooding/crashing the platform).


Development for ACK-47 had been dropped after a certain point, but picked back up in mid-2022, however, due to someone already having the Twitch handle "ACK47", the previous development of the show's bot was dropped and changed to "R4-GFtDS".
