Dan & Phil Part 97: Arch enemies and Husbands

Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:01 pm

lmao are they ALREADY crashing the app

tinnie · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:03 pm

As expected, I can't even get it to load. They should've strenghtened the servers for this.

starsandshards · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:05 pm

fucking LOL i thought i would dl it again and try but this is pathetic.

greenergrass · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:07 pm

yeah I thought maybe I just didn't know how to use the app, but I think it's just not working for me either. the good thing is that lots of people will definitely be recording this one

noodlebum · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:08 pm

Glad I haven't even tried for any of the streams haha, will just patiently wait for the video, or perhaps audio if anyone can get a good one

plinthofmylife · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:08 pm

It can only be recorded if it actually happens...I'm not sure dan or phil can even get into the app

tinnie · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:08 pm

I wonder if there are people who can actually get in or not.
And this is with a bunch of people actually following the 18 or above rule

lmao wait is there anyone who can hear the audio yet? or is it completely not working for everyone? I just gave up and deleted the app

elipie · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:10 pm

LOL I was *this* close to downloading it just for this but decided to just wait because I have zero confidence in its ability to handle phandom on really any day, let alone the first joint live show in two years...

snoopysadie · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:10 pm

shit did we break it aGAIN?

alien · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:11 pm

There were a few moments of them talking about how they weren't sure if it was working and they weren't sure if anyone could hear them. Then they decided to "restart" it and that's when they disappeared and I haven't been able to hear anything since lol

The last few have gone really smoothly but putting their first real recorded conversation in over 2 years on an app that can't seem to deal with more traffic than ~1000 listeners probably wasn't the brightest idea. Fingers crossed they get it sorted!

TinkerTaylor · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:12 pm

Stopping by to see if anyone else is having the same problem I am. I can't get even one second of it to work properly.

starsandshards · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:13 pm

did dan's account disappear or is it just me?

inanerat · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:14 pm

lmao there's a real short show where they go live for like 10 secs like 'is this connected?' and then silence... I don't see that Phil is live again yet lolll

Honestly... I am at peace. Just eating my lunch, along for the ride I guess. Expectations on the ground where they belong

plinthofmylife · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:14 pm

I have two different people in my house trying to get in, I haven't heard from a single person who made it in.

They broadcast about 1:56 of static earlier and a few words of "is it working?"

greenergrass · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:17 pm

lol honestly i'm not even mad, this is true deppy fashion. But no really, for their (and our) sake, I hope they can figure it out. I'm extra happy we got the test footage earlier now

Yeah it was at 1800ish listeners when it broke earlier.

Phil has 14k followers. He gained 5k of those overnight. This app needs to be able to handle like 3x what it currently can, at least. Maybe more like 5x.

Phanshy · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:25 pm

This just makes me sad, they really should know better than to use this platforms that can't handle the level of traffic, either stick to bigger platforms like YouTube and Twitch or do something like a pre-recorded podcast so we don't lose so much of the time to technical issues.

inanerat · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:25 pm

lmao a moment of silence for the dear programmers behind apps like these... like idk how much influence or stuff they know about marketing/spon deals that happen and how prepared they can be for moments like this. Like,,, anyone in the phandom would've been able to tell you this would happen, and idk if deppy mention it or if they don't like to out of humbleness or anything but like... I feel like it's better to be prepared.

It's the holidays, bless their little stressed programmer souls.

Although, free(ish) community surge capacity testing using the phandom

bonus

shan · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:27 pm

Welp, take two incoming at 8.30!

gnostic · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:33 pm

Damn I hope Capita£ester got paid REALLY well for this.

plinthofmylife · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:35 pm

It's working again! I'm in!

alien · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:36 pm

is it really echo-y for anyone else?

starsandshards · Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:37 pm

this echo lmaooooo
