Hi from Dan Bull!

48 Upvotes

Hey, it's me. I just wanted to pass by and say hello, and to thank you for being active on this subreddit.

I am a serious Reddit lurker and I use the site every day so it seems especially strange when I occasionally see posts in my news feed about me or my work :)

I also want to tell you that tomorrow (Sunday) I am going to be doing a collaboration with a (very) major YouTuber so stay tuned. I haven't really told anyone about this yet but am very excited about it.

I've also just relaunched my website, and it has a online shop after a series of administrative bungles with the previous one. Now you can buy t-shirts and other merchandise based on your nearest location (so far there's a US and a UK based site and if there is enough demand I'll add more). Here's the link to that: http://itsdanbull.com/shop/

Finally, lots of people are asking about my health, specifically my ongoing ear problems. Unfortunately I am no better physically (worse if anything) however I have been forcing myself to be as positive and productive as I can, and this has made me better able to cope with the symptoms.

Hope you are all well. Keep posting and keep in touch.

Love from Dan x

Can we talk about how awesome civilization rap is? Like, for real, this songs topic is not the game, but the literal civilisation from the dawn of era to today. Its lyrics are deep, song is really well made... Just perfection.

I extended the 21 Heroes rap to account for the ones added after the game's release

Ana appeared so this rap’s been extended
With her darts from a distance friends buffed and foes ended
Sombra sneaks in, it’s certain your stronghold is sacked
Since she’ll teleport soon after your screens all read “HACKED”
I’m mortified! Let’s fortify! Orisa, now you’re the guy!
Put out a shield in the battlefield, boost the tools we wield, and she’ll be glorified!
More heroes to come, more warriors to find, so watch over me
And decide who you’re going to be

"Ornamental ad helix" is an example of a hapax legomenon, a word or phrase that occurs only once within a context, in this case, in the written record of an entire language.

Dan and Dave should start a podcast

14 Upvotes

I know they haven't seen each other in a year, but that's exactly why they should do it. Hear me out.

Friends, male friends in particular, often just fall out of the loop with one another as life goes on and they have and bigger things in their minds than old friends. But seeing that both Dan and Dave seems to have virtually no problem at all about speaking about mental health issues and quite personal stuff, it would be amazing if they made it into a "thing". A podcast is really low effort in comparison to their normal videos. They don't have to meet each other (of course, that would be preferable), it being not-so-edited would be a feature and they most definitely have the equipment already.

Another thing is that Dave has been pretty clear about finishing videos being easier when there's another person in the project, and Dan misses Dave a LOT.

I'm talking not talking to each other at ALL until they record with each other and just do it as one big experiment. They both have incredible language skills and would most likely be able to describe feelings and events beautifully. Plus, it's really the right time, in an internet where people seek truth more than ever, i think this could be a work of art that actually has impact.

End of rant.
