The Patreon Podcast - Episode 21 - Pills, Pills, Pills

this is so funny :))

And again, if you didn't see my last comments. Have you seen Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb. It's a film that started as a serious thriller in pre-production, as an adaption of a book called red alert about the threat of nuclear annihilation during the cold war. But as Stanley Kubrick was writing it, he realized how absurd the whole conflict was. So in 1964 he released Dr. Strangelove as a political satire of the cold war, while everyone was still paranoid of being nuked.

I have Gilbert's syndrome, though it doesn't have any noticeable effects apart from a bit of jaundice on my eyes.

Jaxom

I feel like you must have already tried this but for fixing Rebecca's tablet you can use the tablet manager to deselect Windows ink as an operator and there is a simple file you can add to Photoshop to make it defult to what you select so it doesn't constantly glitch out. - anyway I doubt I have added anything but I thought just in case, hope you resolve the problem.

Chloe McNamara-Bates

Thoughts on Avalanche working on the Rage sequel?

Babel

I unfortunately don't have the ability or time to sit down and enjoy this book so I'd really appreciate it if you narrated the book. I understand if it's too much of a pain in the ass but think of it like talking for a scripted video....but longer

Vincent Le

Firstly what is your opinion of taskmaster season 6? Secondly have you completed god of war yet?

Dan, I just bought a Chromebook, and I was wondering if you could recommend any apps from the Chrome Web Store or the Google Play Store for writing stories. I would specifically be looking for a program for writing scripts, and anything that is better than Google Docs for writing books.

Isaac Rodriguez

Pewdiepie did not complain that his ad revenue was down. he simply pointed out that ad revenue has never been a stable form of income. the article you had linked with the tweet twisted a lot of the things that he said. At least that is what I got after watching the video the article was referring to. I think that is why so many people were upset about your tweet.

Skylos

Have you beaten God of War yet? Did you try to beat all the Valkyries? What did you think of the last big reveal when you are walking down the stairs at thevert end.

Jed Cole

Thought it might go better if I mentioned it on here. Could you try for the Retro series - ChuChu Rocket!, I have fond memories of it but it seems to have died like so many unique games of the time.

So are the pills helping with your arachnophobia? Because you just dealt with a spider easily at the start of this podcast, when you said it usually takes quite a while ("8 hours", you joked) in your EDF stream.

Tustin2121

Dan, is Pensive Man the son of Majorie and Philip? If so, that adds undertone of tragedy to your Train Simulator series (which, btw, more please)

Tom Spencer

Good luck, Dan. I too have had very bad stomach aches, and I'm sure they had to do with stress and anxiety. But as I'm growing more confident, the attacks are becoming less frequent. I hope the drugs and therapy work out for you, because anxiety is poisonous :(

Pascale van Gils

I don't blame you for going with Unbound Dan. I for one will be preordering your book and continuing with my Patreon pledge

Mark Caswell

The side-effects relieve themselves after 2 weeks after your body adjusts to the SSRI's - I suffered bad jaw ache and "brain zaps" for the first 2 weeks on taking Escitalopram for anxiety, they are non-existant now unless I forget to take the meds, or if I try to wean myself off them. It gets better, but definitely wait a couple weeks to adjust to the tablets before taking up CBT.

Hi Dan, hope you're feeling better now! Did you ever finish Far Cry 5? What did you think of the ending?

Hi Dan, I just saw a trailer for a kind of weird space exploration game called Outer Wilds, I thought I had seen it somewhere before. I found that you had played for a Nerd3 FW video back in April of 2015 as a free alpha and you seemed to really like it. I was woundering if you were thinking of going back to in now its a full game at some point? P.S yes Finn McCool is my real name :)

Finn McCool

Hi Dan :) Im trying to write a Doctor Who audio drama but am struggling with making my companion more than just “generic companion”. Any advice on writing companions in DW?

Hey Dan, you mentioned before that you are a big fan of Mamma Mia, so I was wondering what your thought's are on ABBA and the news of the two new songs they have produced and the Abbatar tour next year? Love these podcasts and can't wait for the book :D

Honestly, this was the 'shittiest' podcast yet

did you watch the snooker world championship this year?

Ben Frost

See, my go-to joke-spoiler is “EVERYBODY DIES”. I’ll leave it at that.

FlamingYeti

Have you heard the Carl Donnelly stand up bit about taking his stool sample to a gig at the O2? It's very funny! See this clip from around 4 minutes: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPmZYO2D2qo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPmZYO2D2qo</a>

Patrick Jackson

The first time I've recognised the comedian.

Henry

Was this an intentional Destiny’s Child reference?

LukeSeawalker

I agree with Rebecca. The Gatsby Soundtrack was awful. It confused me for a bit, and really took me out of the story. They could've at least gone with some Electro-Swing, sounds period-correct-ish and has modern EDM/Electro beats

Hey Dan. Has your top 100 games list changed since you made the videos?

Mathieu Marlaire

When one of the game grumps played God of War, thought that he was in control in a cutscene, and he only realized it was a cutscene when Kratos turned.

Jellex

If you do make the separate Nerdcubed announcements Twitter could you please announce things like the town hall a few days before it happens? I missed out on this one again as I didn't know it was happening.

Mike Jones

The only drive brand that has ever given me problems within the first year of life is Seagate. Usually it's the click of death within a few weeks of transferring all my data to it. I'll never buy another one, regardless of price.

Dave Miller

I have gilberts the doctor will tell you its nothing. ITS SHIT. I hate it constant yellow skin, exhausted, specific diet to keep my levels down, IBS. Everytime i ask my doctor about it he tells me its fine and i dont have any problems its the worst.

This is a test of how many charaters im allowed wow this is alot i dont think its going to sto

Didn't you say a podcast or two ago that you had found a publisher who would give you the freedom you wanted and it was looking like you were going to go with them, what happened? Or was that Unbound you were talking about?

Narmatonia

What is your opinion on the 'n' word because on one of your old videos you said you use it but will never say it in a video, have your opinions changed?

Good luck!

Tim

You should be very, VERY thankful that you have an air conditioner in the UK. Also good luck with your drugs :) I now have to do school homework and revise for my very first GCSE! An early mandatory RS GCSE of all things. Wish me luck.

Addison Reilly

Roman can put on fun matches like his series with Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe on Raw, The Miz on Raw, and his matches with Seth Rollins. Also have you seen the Unscripted episode of 'Car Share' it's just Peter Kay and Sian Gibson just chatting and reacting to the radio in character as they drive around

Shawn Lindsay

Hey Dan, after you see Infinity Wars, would you do a Marvel movie rundown, like you've done with other shows? Excellent work on everything else, keep on keeping on, even from America I'll probably end up buying the physical book, even with the shipping costs.

Logan Rees

On a scale of one to ten how much did you ejaculate with zefranks return

Have ou ever heard of the movie adaptation with Nicholas cage (who's a surprisingly good actor in it.) It's written by Charlie Kaufman, and the movie is about Charlie kaufman trying to adapt the Orchid Thief. The movie gets even more meta from there

Johnflipper5

Dan, if you are continuing to have major issues with windows update, you can disable it using local group policy if you have professional version of windows.

Jack Schillawski

Hey! I dont know if you read these but I’ve also started taking meds (some exciting Sertraline) like 2 weeks ago. Side effects have been abysmal, i was so weak and sleepy for the first few weeks. I get the out of focus feelings too though! Doctors dont know whats actually up and I need to see a psychiatrist cause of the severity of stuff (whoops) but in the mean time your videos really help and I the fact youre actually talking about this sort of stuff out loud is super cool and somewhat reassuring! Thanks!

Also hope this all works out well for you.

Scott

I have just started watching it’s always sunny in Philadelphia and it’s comedy genius! The title cards are the best thing! What do you think of it?

Scott

I've missed you in my ear holes, hope The Verve were wrong and the drugs do work. I'm about to start some due to a messy breakup, but I've lost over a stone in a week so on plus side my diet is going great! Are you aware of Richard Herring's podcast? His recent one with Brian Blessed is an experience!

Stretch

Woooo

Scott

Thanks Dan for these Podcasts, they help me get through the getting ready for work at 23:30 in the morning and also for influencing my choices of food as I am now actively trying to reduce my meat consumption.

Auraharako

So glad you finally got around to showing off Bo Burnham!

Hey Dan, how do you keep lego clean and dust free? It takes me ages to dust it...
