okay I keep hearing people referencing this "lara" younow moment regarding dangender (and I'm assuming lara comes from lara croft) but I've never seen it. do you know which video it was from? or someone in the yomp-sphere who might know? 👀
idk if she said it in a younow, i was referencing reacting to my childhood vids :)
Hey everyone, please consider buying the 2024 itch.io Palestinian Relief Bundle- it's 373 games, game-making assets, tabletop roleplaying games, zines, and comics for a minimum of just 8 USD! They have a goal of 100,000 USD, and as of the time I'm writing this post, they have 8 more days to reach it.
living on this brink of possibility is insane rn. like. are we getting dinok. a joint tour. a hard launch. basically I'm gender. we were young fest? like technically all of these are on the table this year... how did we get here.
okay walk with me. dan has said covid fucked over his plans to create his own show ‘dan is not okay’. during the first stereo, dan said there was always meant to be 3 projects after BIG in 2020 (44:44). one was something that couldn’t happen until lots of people could gather again (this was WAD), one was delayed by covid (DINOK) and the final project to conclude it all was ywgttn. Dan had to bump up ywgttn to be released first.
then we know dan got fucked over again by yt after this and dan released why i quit YouTube, said he was going to fund a third of DINOKs budget himself (1:12:45), and WAD finally was a go. then we waited for WAD recording to be released, dapg came back (woo), then finally (im assuming because of the increased revenue from dapg) they were able to plan 2 more WAD shows to record, then that funded the worldwide premiere livestream. i can only imagine that then allowed dan to secure the rights to then publish it himself. hes also releasing ywgttn now, a new paperback version with a more hopeful and light cover.
now we come to this:
i am thinking that perhaps DINOK is finally in the works, it would make sense for all 3 projects to finally be released together. good things come in threes.
everyone saying the hand with the ring isn’t phil’s……let’s all have some fun! it’s fun, it’s sweet! normalness leads to sadness, as mr amazing himself famously said
it’s “dan is not ok”, basically about what life would’ve been like if he’d become a lawyer, never met phil, never become a youtuber, never come out as gay and started living his truth. he pitched it to youtube, but then youtube originals was scrapped and with it any possibility of dinok being picked up and produced. dan worked on it for so so long and then youtube completely screwed him over, very sad :(
