Updates and Junk from Matt
Added 2022-02-16 17:34:44 +0000 UTCHELLO, IT'S ME, MATT.
Just some updates to share, as everything is a little all over the place at the moment:
- January's art prints were *finally* shipped yesterday after me spending a week and a half trying to wrangle Royal Mail so they would actually post them. People should start receiving January prints from today!
- My two week break is starting from Friday. In all my time working for Daniel I've never actually properly taken time off before, and considering all of my health issues over the past year I really need it. There'll be a Plays video going up next week to hopefully tide you over a little bit. I'm really sorry video output has been way lower during 2022 so far; recovering from my illnesses is taking more effort and time than I'd hoped, but I'm getting there. It's just always very difficult dealing with illness/leave when there's only a few of us, since stuff always needs doing.
- PodCats is being recorded today/tomorrow ready to go up on Monday for Patreon's!
- i often see suggestions for us in various spaces (Reddit, Twitter, Twitch, Discord, Patreon messages), and I thought I'd just let the comments for this post act as a bit of a suggestions catch all! Idea for videos, game suggestions, feedback/suggestions on the art prints, things you'd like to see more as Patreon exclusive stuff, and so on!
Thank you all again for your patience and continued support, it really means a lot.
- Matt

Hi sorry just have another suggestion- i would love to see Dan play any number of random games from the bundle for ukraine on itch.io right now! Maybe like a three free games style video just showing off some of the like 1000 games included ?

2022-03-07 16:13:44 +0000 UTCid love to see Dan revisit Rolling line (the vr train game) and do a long video/series of him creating a lovely train line! i’m talking like a planet coaster-esque, painstakingly watching him place each bush and light because that’s my favourite to watch :)

2022-03-04 14:26:29 +0000 UTCAs a game suggestion, Inscryption seems like Dan's thing. Mildly creepy card game with escape room elements. Recommend going in somewhat blind as it goes some crazy places. Enjoy your break Matt!

2022-03-02 04:01:48 +0000 UTChave a lovely break Matt!!! 💖💖
Alyssa Gordon
2022-02-28 18:50:01 +0000 UTCAnother suggestion: I know that wanting to do this sorta has to come from Dan himself and not us pushing him into it making it seem Demanding But Dan Did An excellent and helping video on BLM, and I think something like that for Ukraine could be comferting To fans who have relatives/freinds there or even fans themselves being in Ukraine This video can direct people to donate to any relevant charitys that might help But also not forgetting the trans situation over in Texas aswell Ik that Dan can't make videos like the BLM one all the time but I really think he can be that light in the darkness however small And has proven that many times This might piss some people off but fuck em

2022-02-28 00:39:42 +0000 UTCWell deserved break, and all around well deserved time taking care of yourselves all around! Much love!

2022-02-19 22:22:48 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need Matt, we'll all still be here <3 I have a suggestion that could involve a convulted plays video of Dan, Matt and Jon all play the assyemterical games that have or will be coming out soon. So like Dead by Daylight, Propnight, VHS, and that dragon ball one. Either that or perhaps play them on a charity livestream or something. But above all else, look after yourselves <3

2022-02-19 00:17:21 +0000 UTCI just want to prefix these suggestions by saying while i do enjoy the videos your mental and pysical health is FAR more inportant so please take as much time as you need. 1. could you possibly add a patreon tier at which point you would be making up the ad revenue you get from twich ads and remove the ads on twich. 2. please release the uncut version of the 4th episode of the podcats, I and a lot of other people juding from the comments on that episode need an extra hour of jon udderly baffled about electricity in our lives. 3. I though of a third suggestion last night but have completly forgot it today so please insert a suggestion you wish you got
AtticSalt
2022-02-18 19:50:17 +0000 UTCGet well soon, Matt! Always good with a break so make sure to enjoy and really recharge. Just as a side note, absolutely fuckin’ loving the Podcats so far, as I have done all the other times. Just listening to you three bicker for 1,5 hours + is honestly a highlight to it day

2022-02-18 08:34:04 +0000 UTCI second this
Darythe Hill
2022-02-18 05:09:28 +0000 UTCEnjoy your break, Matt. God knows you've earned it thrice over. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do. I hope this break does you a world of good. Relax, don't worry about things for a while. Enjoy yourself.
Darythe Hill
2022-02-18 05:09:20 +0000 UTCI'm glad you're taking time off, Matt, it sounds like you really need it! Your health should always come first. As far as suggestions go, I can't remember if there was a reason you guys dropped it, but a revival of the lego Builds series would be fun
John Bats
2022-02-17 20:37:24 +0000 UTCSounds like you deserve that break very much! Don't worry about content too much, anyone still watching Dan will have Stockholm syndrome by now, and will keep watching no matter what.

2022-02-17 13:47:06 +0000 UTCI’d love Dan and Rebecca to play more co-op games, anything they want I just love their chemistry! :3
Snizzbut
2022-02-17 13:10:43 +0000 UTCIt’s good you’re taking time off Matt, you need it and we aren’t going to stop supporting the patreon just because you take a well needed break, health must always come first

2022-02-17 12:38:06 +0000 UTCThis would be cool, he could be battling his Ironside Dalek, or have it as a interesting companion choice 🤔
Thomas Edwards
2022-02-17 06:25:45 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need Matt! Your health is the most important thing!
Michael Kennedy
2022-02-17 02:39:40 +0000 UTCI suggest Escape Simulator and Heavenly bodies. Two great co-ops that are very fun.
oleg riabov
2022-02-17 02:10:30 +0000 UTCTake as much time as you need! Your health is way more important. As for suggestions, personally I would love a for you guys to play Dungeons and Dragons, either on stream or a video (perhaps Dan, Matt, Rebecca, Jon, Ashens etc etc anyone you think would be a good addition) I recently got into the game and LOVE it so would be fun I think. I know Dan and Rebecca loved Dying Light so maybe Dying Light 2? Elden ring maybe? I'm not great at ideas but I love plays videos so anything works
Evin Walshe
2022-02-17 00:04:08 +0000 UTCTake care! And have a very good break!! Per suggestions, would love to see an Eli print! The snakey boi deserves all the love and I bet would be a great model! But like all of the pets are such icons and adorable, and I think Rebecca's art really reflects them in loveliest way. Would love to see art based around any of them :)

2022-02-16 23:26:04 +0000 UTCMuch love! ❤️
HaphazardPanda
2022-02-16 23:18:46 +0000 UTCWow, my prints arrived this morning when you shipped them only yesterday? I can see why you don't bother paying for first class. Thank you for everything you do Matt, now take your much deserved break.
Samuel Miles
2022-02-16 23:15:10 +0000 UTCHave a good break guys. I'm currently doing my annual pilgrimage of watching Dan play Simpsons hit and run. I must have watched that series about 50 times now. I'd love to see Dan attempt to play it again

2022-02-16 23:06:23 +0000 UTCGo get better you silly goof.
Mike Jones
2022-02-16 21:58:04 +0000 UTCHave a great break Matt. Thank you for continuing to be an excellent human.
Patrick Jackson
2022-02-16 21:57:47 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need, we’re a patient bunch :) While you’re taking suggestions, I’d like to recommend I Expect You To Die 2! I loved the video on the first one, I would be ecstatic to see him play the second one. Also Webbed is a cute little indie web-slinging platformer (with a fantastic arachnophobia mode) where you play as a spider saving her boyfriend from a bird.
Andrew Hocking
2022-02-16 21:52:11 +0000 UTCPlease could we get some Doctor Who inspired art prints pretty please, I require Dan in his own concole room
WillBeFat
2022-02-16 20:44:55 +0000 UTCGame: Praey for the Gods (recently released indie game. Mix of Shadow of the Colossus / Breath of the Wild)
Qwx
2022-02-16 20:08:08 +0000 UTCa well deserved Break! I send my love to you all ❤️ suggestion? well I may be *Very* Bias in saying this but for a Patreon art print Dan loves Teardown as we've seen from the many streams + videos soooo somethin on that if its do-able! think it'd be pretty neat! so yeah really Thanks for everything
Nathan (Mixter_Chestnut)
2022-02-16 19:42:25 +0000 UTCEnjoy your time off! I’d love more Dan/Jon/Matt videos, maybe even add Rebecca in, like with the Left 4 Dead videos?
Rachel Potter
2022-02-16 19:31:23 +0000 UTCA couple of suggestions: A Plays video for 'Next Space Rebels', also some games that Dan might have not got to or forgot about from years past that he shows off, and my biggest hope is to see more Dan/Jon/Matt videos! Also, thanks to Matt for all you do! Cheers and good health.
Quentin
2022-02-16 19:25:44 +0000 UTCThe content has been amazing this year, you've all done brilliantly and deserve the time off so no worries there. As for video ideas, personally I've been wanting to see Rebecca thrash Dan at monopoly for a while but generally I think a few board game videos would be quite cool
PBKitKat
2022-02-16 19:23:21 +0000 UTCThe biggest thing I want to say is please make sure you guys don't push yourselves too hard, it's a difficult time, be kind to yourselves. ❤️ The second biggest is seconding some chill board game streams/videos, whatever form that might take. 👍
GoldenGigginox
2022-02-16 19:18:23 +0000 UTCI seconds this! A nice overhead shot of a table with the game setup, that way nothing is visible but the table, no secrets leaked, etc
T-Fyre
2022-02-16 19:04:06 +0000 UTCGet well soon Matt! I’ve been locked out my Patreon account for months and I’ve really ben wanting to ask: is Dan going to do more Medieval Dynasty videos? I’ve loved them and got super invested in the story, but he stopped abruptly. Please suggest he plays more? Thanks ❤️❤️
PurpleManners
2022-02-16 18:58:56 +0000 UTCTake the time to rest and relax in your break Matt.Back a fair time ago Dan joined in with TB's Cooptional plays for board games (most commonly Secret Hitler). I would love for a podcasts version with you, Jon and Dan, as well as probably Claire and Rebecca
Stuart O'Hara
2022-02-16 18:57:26 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need Matt, more important for you to get better than push yourself too hard! If we're doing suggestions for things, I'd quite like to see a series in the Science mode of KSP, I think Dan would have a great time trying to unlock all of the tech tree. Also maybe more stuff with yourself and Jon, the Top Gear style road trip in Snowrunner was great and the road trip in The Crew 2 is some of the best stuff ever released on this channel. Cheers

2022-02-16 18:36:13 +0000 UTCPlease take all the time you need
Rose Capone
2022-02-16 18:13:19 +0000 UTCNothing but love for all of you. Take your time and enjoy your time off, Matt!
Fizz Cashman
2022-02-16 18:12:17 +0000 UTCThere was an idea a while back for Dan and Jon to share a Fallout save; I think a Dan and Rebecca shared save of Sims 4 would also be fun.
Fionnuala Munro-Legg
2022-02-16 18:06:46 +0000 UTCSmall suggestion but I would love a time-lapse style video of Rebecca making an art print every month, that'd be cool! If she was up for it of course
Cameron Bennett
2022-02-16 18:03:36 +0000 UTCHope you enjoy your time Off Matt. My suggestion would be a flight sim video/stream(even better) with Dan using a high fidelity addon plane (Pmdg for example or Fenix. Still release tbd) not a default one.
Der Gurkenbaum
2022-02-16 18:02:48 +0000 UTCHave a nice Holiday Matt.
David Gallagher
2022-02-16 18:02:10 +0000 UTCEnjoy the break Matt! Please pass on that Rebecca's January print is my favourite so far.
Joel Esson
2022-02-16 18:02:09 +0000 UTCWith everyone else, thank for your hard work, taking time off fully from work is definitely for the best to help you get better. I've loved the podcasts and podcats. Something I'd love to see is Dan let's playing some board games as I love hearing about them on the podcasts so it would be super fun to see some shown, explained, played. But that's just something I'd like and don't know if it would have an audience or how much time/effort it would take. Hope you feel better soon. P.s. I love the prints.
Tim Wiles
2022-02-16 18:00:02 +0000 UTCI hope you enjoy your well deserved break. You have earned it multiple times over. I'd love a Dying Light/Dying Light 2 print. Also, a good old fashion Nerd³ Mods video would be fun. It could be GTA, Just Cause, etc. and something silly fun like the car gun mod for GTA.
Ethan PT7
2022-02-16 17:57:09 +0000 UTCLove you Matt ❤️🩹 get some well deserved rest!
Anya3
2022-02-16 17:53:04 +0000 UTCThank you Matt for all your hard work, enjoy your time off, we’ll always be happy to wait, no apologies needed, oh and as for a suggestion, be less ill 🤣😂
Richard Grayson
2022-02-16 17:52:56 +0000 UTCI would love to see an AEW inspired print. I think that could be a lot of fun to make.
Zion Aitken
2022-02-16 17:50:53 +0000 UTCContent has been good this year, you take a nice long, well earned break. I’d like to see Dan tackle some of the difficult (orange coloured) challenges in Just Cause 4, I find some of them impossible 😰
Dan Autiero
2022-02-16 17:45:38 +0000 UTCI played a game recently that Dan might like, its called supraland, really fun metroidvania puzzle type thing, it's got a free demo as well which makes it easier to reccomend people try it Edit) Also keep up the great work everyone thank you for the excellent videos, and enjoy your time off matt, be sure to rest!
Ross Truscott
2022-02-16 17:45:16 +0000 UTCAlso enjoy the break! Well deserved
Reece Fowler
2022-02-16 17:44:46 +0000 UTCDan mentioned his love for old school Rainbow Six games (the ones where you plan an assault and then carry it out) There’s an indie game that just released that is exactly that called No Plan B that he might enjoy
Reece Fowler
2022-02-16 17:44:23 +0000 UTCEnjoy your break Matt, you have more then earned it. Be cool if the toys videos could return in some form as Dan's thought on some Lego sets influenced my purchase of them.
CT_Sykes
2022-02-16 17:44:19 +0000 UTCi don’t have any suggestions but i do hope you enjoy your break! the community supports you guys.
aurelius
2022-02-16 17:43:59 +0000 UTCI'll take the opportunity to recommend VTOL VR to you and Dan. Enjoy the break Matt :)
Dylan Evans
2022-02-16 17:43:54 +0000 UTCDon't worry about the lower output - your health comes first! I'd love to see a video on a game Dan played in its early alpha, Robot Roller Derby Disco Dodgeball; a video on the Stanley Parable remake once it comes out would be cool too :]
Etho Burrow
2022-02-16 17:43:45 +0000 UTCGood luck to you matt!! Take all the times, you need em.

2022-02-16 17:40:00 +0000 UTCHave a great break Matt!
Jack (Chat Cast) Bantock
2022-02-16 17:39:52 +0000 UTCI would love to see a Doctor Who themed Print to tie in with Legends Of The Sea Devils or a Portal/GlaDOS print. I hope you all enjoy the well deserved break, and you all look after yourselves :)
Thomas Edwards
2022-02-16 17:39:48 +0000 UTCtake all the time you need!! you are all amazing ❤️🩹
Pip G.
2022-02-16 17:37:21 +0000 UTCLeggy Coddy print. ;) That's my only suggestion. Everything else, fucking great. All of you knock it out of the park constantly, and I for one absolutely love you all for what you do. You *ALL* deserve a break. Please take it! Love, Artermyss <3 x
