so everyone asking about why they can't pay via monthly patreon subscriptions is already paying via vessel right?

Yes and I'd still rather just give them $X a month directly and watch the vids on youtube that give a second video site $X that the Best friends get a small portion of.

Good, jolly fun group of people that have a mix of enthusiasm while also being knowledgeable about the business? Also make good improv comedy since two of them have theater backgrounds.

I have not seen anything particularly funny for them and "enthusiasm" seems to be mainly them posting lame-rear end reaction videos where they mark out over every single game annoucement

They don't need a patreon to fund better video production, they need better video production before they can justify asking people for money.

The actual reason they don't do it is because people feel way more entitled to complain or criticise things once they're paying for them and they already get routinely dumped on as it is so they're hardly going to open themselves up to more abuse.

I'm completely fine with patreon, and if things come down to it, I've often said we can use it. I even discussed dropping all the advertisers for the podcast, and make the podcast exclusively on Patreon support. The idea of using it usually gets shot down by the other members.

The audio desync in Omikron should be pretty easy to fix in editing. I remember Liam talking about manually synching a much harder project (A Castlevania game that kept losing audio sync every time the screen blacked out), so Omikron really has no excuse to go live like this. However, it adds to the aesthetics, so meh.

I don't agree, they should be at least looking to build up a significant savings in case things go rotten for a while. Yes they are successful now, but the LPer market is getting insanely saturated, everyone and their mother (sometimes literally) is giving it a shot.

Forget everyone's mother. It's all about the Skyrim-playing grandma.

TheRealestMatt posted:

Yes, it actually will. Any money we make off Vessel will almost exclusively go to making the overall channel better. Buying office space to record, new gear, new consoles, new tv, new PC in which to edit, new high quality mics for the podcast, etc.

For Patreon, I believe Woolie was more open to it, but both Liam and Pat don't like the sense of obligation it requires.

As for let's watches and such, right now, we'll keep that site exclusive, but it might change in the future. Not sure.

And finally, in regards to killing ads, we wouldn't get rid of them, but I think we'd start making our own, much like how Sleepycast does it. Which remains to this day, the best podcast I've ever been a part of.

Huh. Well, scratch Woolie off of my last post and replace him with Liam :v:

But eh, it's their business, i'll never be mad that i cannot spoonfeed them money, and if it ever becomes necessary then the backdown kids will definitely open up a Patreon.

Twitch is basically their patreon at this point, now that they're actually using it every week instead of every other month.

Also pretty sure they take direct donations during the streams.

Super Bunny Hops has some pretty okay skills at analytical writing but he's not exactly the funniest dude and I don't personally think he works with the SBF podcast style of "Gibbering Nerd Shouts At Each Other"

Has Plague of Gripes ever been on the podcast?

It's not physically possible for me to care any less about any of the SBF background characters (GermanSpy, Austin, BunnyHop, Cranky, etc), except for Plague because he's actually funny/interesting. I'm sure the others are perfectly nice people but the second they get involved in any of the videos/casts, I tune out.

If they ever break the glass on a DS1 play through, hopefully it won't be a stream and/or is just the Zaibatsu.

Eh I'd say he's more of a support role myself. Kinda like Microchip from the Punisher comix. Give 'em what they need, but stay out of the crosshairs.

Although his solo DS1 LP gets pretty hilarious when he starts leaning into his creepy farmer persona.

Here lemme sum up Plague's LP

"Okay I'm gonna stop everything to stand still for 40mins to tell you why I think DS2 lore is the worst and how Bloodbornes gameplay is poo poo because you can move more easily and the fact that you can dodge roll in Dark souls is stupid and dumb because you just push a button and ignore what a boss does lemme tell you about my fan game design doc where shields are even better an you can hold a different button to ignore the boss and that's different for some reasons."

I watched him stream Overwatch once, he was hilariously awful at it and blamed everyone on his team and Blizzard's matchmaking instead of realizing not only was his basic execution lacking, but also his decision-making which is where he seemed to pride himself.
