the 'raocow has a patreon' thread

[docopoper]

It seems so weird to have asking you questions be a reward when I could ask you a question right now. Why is that?

(count that as one of my Patreon questions please xP)

[raocow]

it's a product of me struggling to find somethign that feels like a 'reward' for peeps, and I know that I tend to be not super open about a lot of personal stuff so.. yeah. I dunno!

[docopoper]

Oh it's ok raocow. I was just trying to be funny. :) I actually have no problem with having that as a reward.

Actually now that you've expressed that you don't find yourself very open; I have a much more interesting question to ask you:
What is your view of what happens to you (that is your consciousness) after death?

[Willhart]

You should make your video paintings available for patrons to download and use as wallpapers, etc.

I'm assuming people will like that??? I find those sorts of things interesting.

It was attached to that patreon post in psd format. raocow could make it to png too so that more people coulz open it.

[raocow]

hey peeps, patreon-exclusive numero deux is out!

[Sebby19]

I think it's time to make a separate topic for patreon videos and polls. Is this a good idea?

[raocow]

haha, probably yeah

[Alice]

Perhaps a Patreon supporter subforum should be considered? I can't speak for everyone but having it public might make some people feel like they're being pushed to support rao on Patreon whether they want to or not.

[raocow]

Hm. I wonder how this could be done though...
Let me think about this.

[devil†zukin]

'let me ask rena about this'

the answer is idk btw

[Jesuiscontent]

I thought about that but that was before I actually realized how patreon worked. Since they have a comment thread for each item raocow posts I don't think it's necessary? That's raocow's call though, if you think it's a good idea I can set up a thing and make an invite-only "patreon supporters" group

e : ugh stop posting while I type you jerks

[devil†zukin]

i don't think it's necessary lol

and it'd be a nightmare to maintain

if they had an api it'd be trivial tho they should get on that

My thought was that it might be a good idea since people are still discussing the Patreon stuff here a bit. It's not like it would need to be something active or anything either. Just make a usergroup people can request to join and have the people in charge of the group verify they're a Patreon supporter and have a forum that is only visible to members of that usergroup.

Regardless it's not a huge deal in the end since, as people pointed out, there's comments on Patreon. I just thought it should be considered under the logic I originally posted is all since raocow doesn't want people to feel obligated to contribute to his Patreon.

[Ditocoaf]

I mean, the discussion stuff like "hey there's a new patreon video go check it out" doesn't need to be invisible to non-patreon people. We can just have a thread.

[spitznagl]

Aren't we supposed to receive emails when you post updates?

I've been receiving weekly email updates from someone else on patreon for two years now, but I haven't received any from you and I do have all the email notification options turned on.

[Ashan]

You didn't answer my retsutalk question even though it was the highest rated question! I still want to know if you'd make a guest appearance on one cause that'd be super cool.

[raocow]

woah, I didn't see it for some reason, that is really weird

[docopoper]

I shall continue asking my questions here because I much prefer the feel of it to the Patreon comments. Though this has the disadvantage of giving raocow more places to look when compiling his questions .

To keep with asking interesting philosophical questions:
If given the chance; would you use or how much would you use the experience machine? (that is to say a machine that can simulate any pleasure in existence directly in your brain with no side effects)

[raocow]

for the record: I'd be okay with it but I'm not sure what I would bring to the show, haha

[Ashan]

Good enough answer for me, I'll be sure to tweet it at slowbeef

[Sebby19]

I was just thinking of a pinned topic that keeps track of patreon updates. And since you have freakin La-Mulana on that list for the B-side, I guess the "Don't suggest these games to raocow" topic doesn't need to be pinned anymore.

In any case, dib on the topic, of that's ok.

[raocow]

just a head's up that due to circumstances, the patreon video and vote ranking will be tomorrow instead of today?!

I guess technically I said on the weekend for these so it's not REALLY late...

[raocow]

new patreon video is OUT! check it for a video that's somehow even more ramblingess than usual due to having things on the mind that's over 20 minutes long!!

also the patreon game choosey results but whatevs

[docopoper]

Ok. Next question:

Would you take a pill that would dramatically and permanently increase your intelligence?
