on video quality/game settings:

i have crap wifi, and i can watch high setting videos, just at the same res as everything else (usually 240, lolsob)

BUT tbh the 25 fps and the 60 fps gifs that LtrllySusan posted look exactly the same to me. maybe those of us with deficient eyes and/or eyes that are accustomed to 25 fps just can't see any difference. both of those definitely apply to phil.

or maybe it's to do with dnp's microphone settings - ash hardell mentioned this in one of their side channel videos, when their camera wouldn't record at the correct frame rate to match audio
clip at 1:09
or it could be a technical issue that has nothing to do with their filming setup, like maybe their gaming computer lags if they play at highest settings? if they have a lot of games downloaded that could definitely be a factor, even on a really good setup - sims alone is fucking huge.

idk this was a big ramble on something i know little to nothing about (but what else is new :oops: ) edit: and now it's at the top of the page *sigh*

I love how Phil and Sophie have the exact same expression lol
This whole thing is just so cute and their expressions are adorable. Phil should keep that smile.

I love that Dan, Phil, PJ, and PJ's roommate/friend are hanging out. #platonicfriendgoals

Maybe it ran off with all my missing lip balms to live happily ever after.
it tastes like garbage.
it's actually pretty good chocolate and i'm really enjoying it. my only criticism is that the chocolates aren't really big,
but that's probably a good thing
Thank you! I knew they lied about taste testing and generally caring about the quality of their products. Whew, dodged a bullet there thanks.
I’m definitely not rocking back and forth wondering WHERE THE HELL I PUT IT and craving a reasonably small chocolate binge nope not me

Slightly more on topic: Sophie doesn’t much pop up in PJ’s videos, does she? I haven’t been keeping up with him as much (understatement) but I recall her always being more of a background presence, if there at all, leading me to the impression that she’s not all that interested in (or maybe comfortable..?) being on camera? I’ve never watched her own channel, so maybe I’m way off. Curious how that’ll translate during a 4-player game as watching somebody be uncomfortable gets my secondhand-cringe going hard. Truth Bombs wouldn’t work with just 3 players, would it?
Thanks and have a great day! Oil me

Yeah she’s typically in the background of most videos, like in the snake oil video she was at the end of that but not on video. But I think she’s fine on camera. Also PJ and Sophie have known dnp for quite a long time so I think they would have good chemistry that translates well.

Actual friendship chemistry and group chemistry while aware of, and performing for, a camera aren’t reliably enough the same thing is kind of where my mind’s at. To use the worst example (sorry) their Felix collabs have been awkward af. But that can’t be how they are together in private, not to that degree. And like, Phil and Tyler’s interactions in their collabs (I HOPE) aren’t indicative of their irl interactions, you know what I mean? But don’t mind me, I like to stress myself out over completely insignificant things for literally no reason. We all have hobbies. I’m sure it’ll be fine probably lol.

looks like yt realized everyone hates rewind this year and decided to try to tempt us with some weird dnp gif, as tho we don't know that it's not actually in rewind??? yt, we've all seen the 3 seconds they're in, you can't fool us. we have gifs and memes and everything made from it already.

also, that dad joke is kind of funny, but it doesn't work with all accents - around here we say uh-clips, not ee-clips, so i literally didn't understand that this was a pun for 10 minutes and was just :confused: wondering what this was supposed to mean

I mean at worst I think she would be like Hazel in the first truth bomb video, where she ended up not participating that much, she was just kinda there whilst D&P and Tom brought all the bants. (if this is really how it goes then wow congrats deppy on the female rep. in your channels)(I'm kidding I know it's not that deep)

I love Youtube exposing Dan :

I think she prefers behind the scenes stuff, but she's been in enough of PJ's videos (and that video of them playing Heads Up) that I definitely don't think she's camera shy or uncomfortable. She's funny and has a good rapport with all of them. I think the video would be super cute (if PJ and Sophie are in fact in the video).

Sophie's always seemed pretty stiff to me, so I hope that the video having a point and action to occupy her helps her be a little more outgoing than she is when just quietly in the background. Or idk, maybe Dan/Phil/PJ can just carry the video otherwise.

I'm actually gonna be disappointed if it's the bomb game and not Truth Bombs now. (Though if it is the bomb game please fucking let them go back and do some of the earlier levels and learn how.)

This actually made me laugh out loud. Wow, YT ships it. It reminds me of that time in the radio show when that old lady said that she couldn't choose between the two of them because they were so cute together (or something like that? I'm not sure) and dan whispered to phil "she ships it". Self awareness on their part is hilarious. (also well, dan did say that the light and warmth phil brings to his life is as everlasting as the sun... so youtube isn't saying anything that he hasn't said himself lol)


Very off topic and very self indulgent, I'm sorry, but I kinda wanted to share that phil just reblogged my tumblr gifset of YT rewind over the years and in doing so he officially redeemed rewind 2017 for me. Also he made my day <3

Even if today's video is Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (which I wouldn't mind bc I did like those videos), I am sure they'll do Truth Bombs at some point during Gamingmas considering Dan said that during a live show.

I would've loved to see D&P playing Truth Bombs with Tyler Oakley but I'm sure PJ and Sophie will be fine too (can't say I'm very familiar with Sophie though).

I saw that Phil bought Geometry Dash on Steam but I don't really know that game?

Also, it's a shame that Dan's speech wasn't recorded and no red carpet photos were released. In fact, I can hardly find any information about the UK on Stage event. There doesn't mean to be a website or any kind of social media account but maybe I didn't look well enough :shrug:

I actually laughed out loud at this, and Dan replying to it! Boy could've left it alone but noooo :rofl:

I actually really hope it's a KTNE video instead of truth bombs, mostly bc I think that brings sassy Phil out and I'm a sucker for sassy Phil.

Do we think we're getting a gaming livestream this weekend? I'm flying to London tomorrow so I'm kinda bummed that I will miss a bit of content..maybe I can get my non fandom friends to let me watch in peace and probably keep a tally of how many times I sigh over Phil's beauty. :garbage:
Will probably never be over the BONCAS and the beauty of Phil Lester.

Uh actually, no joke, Anthony’s real name is Daniel! Anthony just uses his middle name but I’m still not sure why. I didn’t believe it ether until I found multiple cases of this being legit.
A bit on topic, I’m loving gamingmas as of the not my arms challenge!! I can’t wait for them to upload today. The past three days have been amazing for gamingmas!!! <3

Really? Huh, my bad! I don't really watch youtubers and only know basic knowledge about youtubers connected to deppy, but still if Anthony goes by Anthony on youtube you would think they would use his preferred name in an article about youtube :shrug:

Sorry this doesn't contribute to discussion, delete this if it's a problem mods
I would say it's not very spoiler-y at all. It reveals the basic premise of the game obviously, but they don't complete it or reach any kind of conclusion. Someone actually posted earlier in the thread that they tried to find the answer to the 'secret' of the game or whatever you want to call it, and there actually isn't one in this demo, not until the full game comes out apparently.

Hope this helps, and maybe someone else will chime in and give you a better answer. But imo nothing major is given away.
Okay, thank you! I'll watch it then ^^
