Updates and December Plans
🕑 Added 2021-11-27 14:50:21 +0000 UTCHello everyone, it's MATT HERE.
I just thought I'd give a few updates on what's going on with us, as well as our plans for December.
First off, let;s talk about OURSELVES!
You may have noticed we've been not really around much as of late. Daniel has been getting used to his higher dosage of anti-anxiety pills so has been a little all over the shop. Then I've been just generally ill (My therapist thinks I'm burnt out, and it was noted by my hairdresser of all people that me being on blood thinners for 6 months has fucked my body a bit), so I've been kind of running things at half mast for a while.
I also got a new editing rig! I've replaced our 4 year old iMac Pro with a fancy new 16" M1 Max MacBook Pro - which is not only faster in every way but will also finally allow me to actually properly edit stuff while I'm not at home (More specifically, at Daniels). Should also make it easier to keep up with our new more intense video schedule. While I've been ill I've been slowly setting it up and getting everything transferred over to this new machine, and it's finally fully setup today.
I'm planning to get a Plays video out on here either today or tomorrow, depending on my health!
Now let's talk about our DIFFERENT DECEMBER PLANS!
Our December videos are going to be quite a bit different to our normal schedule. Daniel is currently writing/recording our own advent awards series (Similar to what we did last year). They won't be 24h early access since they're.. well an advent series. But they'll go up on here early in the morning at around 7-8am in the UK, and then publically around the normal time of 8-9pm. They won't feature the Patreon credits or opening, since it'd tripple their runtime which seems a bit excessive. I will be including them on the game of the year video on the 25th though.
Daniel and Ashens also filmed the Ashens advent series a few days ago, which I'll be starting to edit over the next couple of days - these won't go on here or anything since they're an Ashens thing, but you're getting two Nerd³ related advent videos!
Now, as a result of me having to edit 51 advent videos, normal videos will be taking a bit of a backseat. We very likely won't be doing any Nerd³ Show videos over December, and it's also likely that Minecraft won't return until 2022. We'll also be moving to one plays video a week rather than two - but I'm still going to try and get two done, I just can't guarantee it, so there might be an extra video occasionally. Father and Son-Days is also making a glorious return! This will occasionally be swapped in place of a Plays video, on a Sunday - we're still planning as to when and how we'd like to release them, but it's probable they'll start going out in December! These will have the Patreon credits and intro too.
Then lastly, a quick note about ART PRINTS!
The November art prints (Which will be shipping at the start of December to art print Patreons), are pretty much entirely done and wrapped up. The aim is to get them out ASAP in December to try and get them to Patreon's ASAP, to avoid the December postal rush - Which is especially important as part of it is holiday themed!
We've seen a few people reporting that they've not gotten their prints, or only one of them - if you're a Art Print patreon and you've not gotten your prints from August or October yet please send us a message on here, and please double check the postal address that patreon has on file for you. There have been a few instances of people putting incorrect postal addresses in and then not getting their prints. While we'll try and be as accommodating as possible in sending out replacements and such (Which we have a fairly limited number of, mind), remember that it's your responsibility to make sure your shipping address is all correct.
I think that's everything, if anyone has any questions leave them below and I'll do my best to answer them! Apologies for the spotty video output lately, it's been a bit of a rough month for myself and Daniel for various reasons and we really really appreciate how supportive you've all been on that front.
- Matt

Is there an eta on prints this month, previously I have received them within a few days and wanted to see if there is something wrong with my postal service this month or if they haven't been sent. Thanks for all the good work!

Woooo Matt
Nikoda Johnson
Take care of yourselves. Do what you feel you can, be it reduced uploads or none if you need a break. Burnouts a serious problem and starting new medication dosages is hard, I can sympathise with both. Hope you all feel better soon.
Seymour Asses
You guys are amazing, hope you start feeling better soon and that Daniel does the same thing 🖤🖤
Andyface
As is clear from the other lovely comments, your healths are more important than frequent uploads. Hope you all feel better and can have restful times over Christmas/new year. Looking forward to all the advent stuff, hope the new toy makes editing fun
Evelyn Shephard
Hope you feel better soon Matt, excited for the new videos, but as others have said they come secondary to your health 💖
Justin Norman
I am just waiting for them to do a tea calendar but not bother making them, just eating the tea leaves.
Matthew Oliver
Health comes first obviously but wondering about the podcasts? Doctor Who and podcats, I'm only still watching Doctor Who to be able to listen to Dan and Mike rant. And you don't even need to all be on time for the podcats :D
CodingEntity
You come first guys thats why were are doing this. Cant wait to see how Dan poisons himself this advent.
Richard Grayson
You can’t edit videos if you’re unwell so you and all of you look after yourselves! We’ll always be here happy with any uploads you do, and indeed looking forward to the advent series and yay Father and Sondays wooo!
Coire Halfpenny & Alex Milne ❤
Health always comes first! If you need to take a break Matt, please do. We will still be here ❤ we appreciate you!
Stan Gaskell
Look after yourself first, no need to apologise. We're an audience, you're a living breathing human. Hope you're both feeling better soon?
Robin Airiman
Im promoting health over content anyday. Even tho i am directly paying for content here. Its good you guys have been having a break, becasue burning out just isnt fun. Take care of yourselves before taking care of us watchers :D
Brandon La Violette

Its more than fine Matt, part of the reason we love yall is that you do take your collective mental and physical health into consideration and take breaks when it gets too much, meaning we get to see a much happier and genuine group. Take care of yourselves :(
Etho Burrow
Thanks for the update! You two take care of yourselves :)
Thomas redding
Thanks for the update Matt, everyone’s health takes priority! Take care of yourselves and have a great December.
Mikel Bons
Your health is more important than making video’s for us, and that goes for both of you, even Matt! Take care and know we will always appreciate what you guys do for us ❤️
