Jesus Christ. I cannot watch this shit.

1:02:00 to 1:07:00 - he spends 5 minutes on a simple cog puzzle.

Cleve when?

 

[Shaewaroz]

What's the holdup with the Cleve interview Matt?

 

[sstacks]

Cleve when?

Codexers! This should get your whiskers quivering!

The Ratphone just lit up (it's like the red Batphone except it has viking horns, prefers ale and enjoys Nancy Drew adventure games) and upon picking it up with a feverish and excited "yes??", the King Rat himself's voice from the distant end informed me that he is still in touch with Cleve, and an interview is set to happen after Cleve squares some stuff on his end away. That's all the cheese worth chewing over for now, stay tuned!

Really glad Matt had ATOM team on, I like these guys and this game.

Here's a playlist of 3 videos I did over the summer, Anton was kind enough to reach out to me over the Summer with an early access copy:

It has no audio past 34 min :/

But it seems like Matt and Shanne are now working together and making a new version of his CRPG Book: https://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Desktops-History-Computer-Role-Playing/dp/1138574643

What do you have to say, sstacks ?

 

[octavius]

He he, Matt's intros are still as cringeworthy as ever.

 

[moleman]

Matt did a re-upload. Cleve interview confirmed.

This am being true I've mentioned it on my show a couple of times and online, just haven't gone into full on announcement / marketing mode yet.

The book is Dungeons & Desktops 2.0.

It came *this* close to being titled Advanced Dungeons & Desktops.

Would've been the better title.

felipepepe I still owe you a Sword Coast Legends write up for the RPG Ebook Project. It gets a very minor entry in D&D 2.0.

NO? You guys mean he's even more cringeworthy now?

We are in the decline of Matt Chat, aren't we?

I know his view counts have always struggled but I'm disappointed for Matt regardless. His channel hasn't really grown the way it deserved. Nowadays putting in the effort he did in the past for weekly videos is probably not worth the time and energy.

 

[Parsifarka]

Don't worry, visitor numbers will boom as soon as he interviews Mr. Blakemore.

A man need not be embarrassed by the sincerity of another man.

 

[octavius]

I dunno...sincerity? Matt seems to be embarrased of his hobby judging by his frequent giggling.
I used to think he would improve with more experience, but that hasn't happened.

I don’t know about embarrassed. The guy drinks ales out of a viking horn in front of a wall display of video games. He just isn’t a typical charismatic youtube personality who interviews people well.

Is he awkward? Sure. In that regard I’m also surprised he hasn’t gotten more comfortable over time. Probably the most comfortable he’s been was when he interviewed Joe and Hannah from Whalenought.

I think part of the views issue has to do with the youtube algorithm. I’ve been subbed to his channel since I was in grad school and I can’t remember the last time I saw one of his recent videos in my “recommended” queue (which I use more than anything else for youtube).

I kind of feel bad because it’s been close to 4 years or so since I rven visited his channel. I should do a binge watch this weekend or something....

On the positive side, his Patreon is quite stable... it went down to $300 a video in 2017/2018, but now is around $420 again.

I think he is having a hard time finding new interviews to do, gave up on breaking into the mainstream, so now he focus on the people who want to see 2 hours of a guy playing an obscure 80's RPG with 2k views per video. The real question is how long will this be enough for him...
