Post "Ramble: How to survive the Hunger Games" by "JennyNicholson" from patreon

Cerys Dunning

that naked strategy is honestly genius

Ttt123

Did the beanie baby video ever make it to the main channel? I can't seem to find it o:

Nobody can convince me that Jenny wasn’t the blueprint for Lucy Grey

michael

peeta being the last guy to seduce 😭

WhatAlsaid!

If this video ever went public, I would SO love to make an animation of it.

I love the hunger games so this video was right up my alley. In a middle school hunger games craze I took archery and was so bad that I managed to lose 2 arrows throughout the three months I was in the class. It’s their fault for making us practice in front of tall grass though.

Nowhere Girl

It's already established that food isn't a primary concern here, and in a death game eating someone after you kill them wouldn't make it any easier to kill them in the first place. At best it may be a mediocre intimidation strategy, but you would be destroying any good will with the public in the process, and would likely be tracked down and killed by the other contestants earlier because of it.

After running and hiding, I would do my best to become a fan favorite. I would find hidden cameras and use them like vlogger, ASMR person, or a cam girl. Basically, my strategy would be making sure I'm interesting alive and alone so that the people in charge would give me time to survive before making me confront anyone else.

Much like life, kpop always finds a way

Anne Plein

How about cannibalism?

mizushimo

This could have been a good video on the main channel honestly. Harnessing the power of KPOP stans to win the hunger games has to be the best thing ever, i need fanfic immediately

The kpop plan is genius. Unfortunately I don't think kpop exists in the hunger game world so you'd have to invent a humourously named fictional equivalent and THEN exploit the fans of that genre

littledarkage

I shipped Cato (jock boy fighter guy) and Katniss for years, so this is doing wonders for my little shipper heart lol

ClearlyABot

I like the twitch streams, but feel like I always need to watch on archive since theyre a bit far between

SweetAlissum

I'm still sad the Disney Annual Pass program roast lost so narrowly. I hope that topic comes back some time!

i love your twitch streams i just watched them all on your archive please stream more!

Katherine Barbera

the kpop strategy is actually a really good idea ngl

Eric MacMillan

She was nominated for a Hugo!

Samantha Kitty Marks

Jenny what’s the good news???

Shred Cadmium

I wouldn’t have a clue personally but someone up there 👆 mentioned caitlovesdisney? If Jenny’s Twitter is anything to go by (heavy caveat, as for many reasons it may well not be! 😆) a numbered list ranking from the maestro is On the Way, so almost certainly this other one will get a mention during that if you don’t find it beforehand...

Rachel

1) I love your streams I would especially love to watch you play Humongous Entertainment games again, or since you mentioned Barbie would you consider streaming an old Barbie game? Those would be incredible 2) I would LOVE a Barbie movie ranking video, I have seen others do this but I feel like ranking videos can be unique because you'll have different takes than others so I don't think you should worry about being duplicative at all. On an unrelated note, after what happened to Lindsay, I hope you are doing mentally and emotionally well, watching her video yesterday and seeing all those tweets about you was painful for *me*, so it makes me sick thinking about how that must be for you. I hope you are taking care of yourself, feeling supported, and doing okay. And congrats on the vaccine!!!

Victoria Blake

Ooo does anyone know who it was that did the Barbie movie ranking she’s referring to?

I’ve definitely been missing your twitch streams, so it would be fun to see them again if you’re wanting to do them! And congrats on the vaccination!

Congrats on the hugo nomination Jenny! I was part of the old FiW tumblr/livestream.com fandom from the way back days of 2012 and all us fans always believed in your skills as an entertainer since the beginning. So happy for you and am still excited to keep seeing new things you make :)

Definitely would love to see more Twitch streams! Your choice of games is always a lot of fun too

Lucky_Lychee

i was literally thinking to myself, yesterday, about how much i would love a barbie movie video from you :o that would be iconic

Lizzy Martinez

Barbie Movies are so nostalgic that I feel like it would be a nice video to rewatch a bunch. Comforting.

Maddy

i really enjoy your twitch streams! also i'm a doll collector and i would be so excited if you did a barbie movie analysis bc i (and im sure a lot of people) love to hear lots of different opinions about them!

Lizzy

I would love to see the barbie ranking!

Stephen Gillie

My exotic weapons proficiency means I don't need to carry dedicated weaponry. I can use whatever's at hand.

Absolutely would love to see you stream again if you get time!

Mel Curtis

My roommate and I have actually been ranking all the Barbie movies ourselves so it would be hilarious to see how your ranking compares to ours

Maybe the second channel is Cinema Summary? but i've been binging Nerd Explains, good rec.

Jelmer

I personally don't watch the Twitch streams since I live in Europe and waking up at 3AM to watch a Twitch stream seems a bit ... insane? But if you feel like doing those streams, you should totally do so! Also totally here for the Barbie movie ranking. Those films are very feverish and absurd, so I think that'd make for a hilarious topic! :)

Danielle Sherman

The teaser of this video on Twitter is what got me to finally join the patreon!

Heidy J

Oh I like the streams well enough, I don't think you need to worry about that too much :)

Aki Axel

Looking forward to all of those videos. :) I've watched a few of your streams. I think you should stream if it feels like a break from the usual. I know I work better when I get to switch between different modes of work.

Susannah Beckett

I love your twitch streams!

Tori

I feel like this shows that we need to start learning weapons. I'm sad about Jenny and twitter. :-( I do wish she is able to stay safe and be gentle to herself. The twitch streams are fine and breaks in between videos are also fine.

Robert C

I never watch Twitch streams live, but I've enjoyed watching VODs. Would it be possible for you to put the VODs of your streams on Patreon somehow? Right now they can only be viewed if you're subscribed on Twitch and, not to be a jerk, but I kind of only want to support you on one platform. If not, that's fine, but it would be nice.

drae

<3

drae

love your twitch streams please do them as frequently as you can

Cullen Mott

ok your BTS strategy is brilliant. just brilliant.

Michael Metzler

Yes! I love your twitch streams! I love hanging out on stream with everyone. The Disneyland game, Pokémon snap, Mario party, sonic, and Jedi temple challenge streams were some of my favorite

Sunny

I don't often watch Twitch streams because I'm usually working when people are on, but I'd be interested in watching reuploads.

I rarely watch Twitch streams as I'm too busy playing games with friends myself. My friends are real and totally not figments of my imagination.

Sam

Naming deserts as the Final Destination of biomes is just the best darn thing

Ghostfellow

I don't really watch Twitch streams, I find it hard to not only be looking at a video while it's playing and streams are usually not engaging enough for that haha. Though if it's an especially obscure and interesting game I'll watch some of it (clicked into the Disney park game recently). Excited for the Beanie video!

Olivia Louise

I like and enjoy your gaming youtube channel

Austin Baker

I would rather have a week to train than no week at all. And you can learn a ton of basic boy scouts stuff in that time like how to make a fire what berries to eat where to find water but yeah you might not improve at hatchet throwing.

Big fan of the streams here!

YouTube actually just started recommending to me captures of your Twitch streams and I’m real in favor of them now! They are a real good time!

Lauri Tervonen

Another instant classic rant! :) I've never seen Jenny online on Twitch so I assume she's streaming at difficult times for an European viewer (which would obviously make sense). I rarely watch recorded streams but maybe I should check those out at some point

Rushka Unverricht

I was watching this through a second time and noticed the fur-bearing trout watching on from the right of frame. A fun little visual easter egg!

Jente

My favorite part of these is Jenny being unable to censor herself through editing. The first four minutes kind of devolved in her taking a mind vacation into being an outcast witch in a post-apocalyptic society. Great content, sincerely.

Jente

Love the disclaimer being like "I don't endorse murdering children", thanks for covering that base fam

Jessica Carter

I get the stressing about doing something else when you should be working on a project. For me it's sleep though lol. 'How can I be sleeping when I should be working?!'

sweet dee

I just got into Twitch soo yes

Steve Ray

In the future, we will be citizens of Panem.

Zachary Scott Cole

I would love more Twitch streams! I'll buy bits and whatnot.

MJ Crom

Jenny's naked, BTS, poison Hunger Games strategy. Genius. I'm SO excited for your take on the Snyder Cut. Will happily battle Snyder fans for you.

i would love to see twitch streams !!!!!!!!

Lee

Hey Jenny and spiders/ponies/friends, I just joined today, really happy to be here :)

Ugino

The streams I've been able to access are fantastic. I don't go on Twitch much but you're one of the few streamers I have push notifications on for. Any more archive stuff that can be made public or uploaded for Patrons I would gobble up - but obviously it's fair if there are business/time/colossal-file-size reasons that's impractical I'm always looking out to catch a stream live too. And I would never take weaponizing BTS fandom in a dystopian survival game from you, that is thoroughly and geniusly yours.

I'd watch your streams, they're pretty unique and fun!

Yoav Fine

Jared Leto's band have their own private island for their cult (https://youtu.be/c-REyMZT2ZU) so I'll steal your kpop strategy and ask for sponsorship from 30 seconds to mars. I'll just talk how great is Jared Leto's poetry battle scene with Ben Affleck with the CGI card and the f bombs and how much it's better than The Dark Knight and hide that I'm a patron of Maggie Mae Fish. Who knows maybe I'll also be able to get sponsorship from Zack Snyder and WB too. Twitch streams- I think I saw some of the Goosebumps and Sonic ones, they were fun! Sure, I would be down for more streams if you feel like it, why not.

CJour82

I would enjoy watching more twitch streams

The Bearded One

Honestly I had no idea until today that Jenny had a twitch channel. I don't watch twitch very much and I doubt that I would watch her content there. I vastly prefer her YT and Patreon exclusive content.

how you could win the hunger games: go into a cave, find a camera hidden in the stone and ramble to it 24/7, you would get so many sponsors hahaha

Oathian

Same! I really wanna know what the Jenny flavor would be/would’ve been!

Peter Brown

I watched every single stream and was pretty sad when they stopped lmao. The channel doesn't have most of them and I'm kinda sad that there's no way to watch the Goosebumps one or the Harry Potter videos one anymore

Skibbityboo

I feel that a chainsaw would be an appropriate weapon for Jenny.

Austin Boulter

I adore the twitch streams! It's such a different vibe from everyone else I love it.

Alice

I thought your streams were great, can understand if you’d wanna work on videos instead but I’d love to see more of them!

Emvee

I wouldn’t even know how to go about watching a Twitch stream and I can’t be bothered to find out. An accessible feeling of liberation in the 21st century can be as simple as opting out of some trendy apps altogether. About the video, it made me realize that Jenny applying rational analysis to the irrational rules of a fictional universe is one of my favorite things about her work.

Alex Karassavidis

Twitter is so god damn useless.

Rushka Unverricht

Having watched this video, to survive the Hunger Games I know I'll have to do at least some of the following: run, hide, fill my pockets with sand, lie, cheat, poison, seduce, become familiar with kpop, run around nude, and of course the required murder. That's some list! I have to say though, "seduce President Snow" is a phrase I wish I could erase from my memory lol. As for Jenny's twitch streams, I think I watched most of them. I'd generally view them live when I could, then watch the rest via the vods over the following few days. They were always fun; I'd welcome more streams.

kduds

will work 4 outrageous reality TV content

I'd definitely like to see more streams!

Oathian

Oh also, I just found out about the JennyNicholsonStreamArchive Youtube channel. So I've been watching those! But, I actually just looked at your Twitch page today and noticed you haven't streamed in a while. So, yeah, I was hoping you'd stream more soon so I can catch one and play the Wario OMG sound!

I've recently begun watching your Twitch streams on YouTube while doing other things and they're really pleasant!

Oathian

Oh man, this sounds like a way better movie. Manipulating your deadly-frisbee-throwing boyfriend, running around arranging poisonous cornucopias, and using the power of k-pop stans to turn the public against other "contestants"

Sunflower Sunshine

I don't watch streams in general, so my vote is for new videos. I'd even propose a mid-month extra mini-ramble instead of a stream!

Aaron Fontes

yes yes yes please more streams! idk if lindsay is still hanging around but you two are so funny and it was always a treat to see you guys do fun, niche things like watch HP fan films, Frozen fanfiction, Mcdonalds board games, etc.

Commander Cloud

Pocket sand! Shi-shaw!

Jiminy's Journal

Yes, please more streams! Especially Humongous! Did you see that the Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon soundtrack just dropped on the composer’s BandCamp?

Stephen Gillie

Sending items into the Hunger Games is like a Superchat.

Conor

Yes! I love your streams. I still watch the VODS to this day. Would love to see you play the Putt Putt games or games in that franchise. You should co-stream with Brutalmoose for one of those since youre both fans!

Brigitta Fodor

Yes, streams please! I definitely don't feel like "oh no she should be working on a REAL video", but more excited for more Jenny brain content

I don't watch your streams, I just don't really watch live streamers in general regardless of who it is. I tried to get into watching other streamers before but the twitch notifs annoyed me because every time someone I followed was streaming I'd be too busy doing something else to watch or I just didn't feel like it.

Will_K

Jenny would be the Mistress of the Numbered List Games !!! Love the Caffeine Free Diet Coke and G Fuel set design.

Guy Wilson

I've very occassionally watched some of your streams back, but I usually find that not being in the US makes the times inconvenient

Luis

Even google pronounces it corn-you-copia like Jenny says it. I've been saying it wrong my whole life 😔

I really like your Streams! It even inspired me to buy some GFuel to take my own gaming to the next level.

superb lobster

Please stream more, I enjoyed it a lot and was sad that you stopped.

My fiance and I love your twitch streams! They were really fun last year in an otherwise stressful time.

Zaccaria Sides

My enter key fell off and scared me during this video. So I guess your survival strategies were that intense!

Brenn

I just subscribed to you, so-- Hi! Was super excited to do so right as a new video dropped--- and it was a delightful pick me up from the end of a long work week. I was also very distracted by your Usul plush in the background the entire video. Beautiful.

wake up babe. new jenny nicholson ramble

RE strategy No. 1 - I thought the Capital engaged in collective punishment - so maybe running away dooms your family / town? I dunno have not watched the movie for a long time.

Shaun Cheah

A friend of mine recently got engaged and another is expecting her first child in the summer, which might explain why my first thought regarding the mystery surprise was "PORG PREGANT? GIANT PORG AND ARAGOG WEDDNIG?"

Blake Norwood

I watch your sister on twitch now! I really enjoy her streams ever since you guys used to stream together. I feel like I often miss yours but don't feel bad about streaming instead of working on the new video. I feel like we are pretty patient as an audience.

I love your tiktoks queen

Michael DeBellis

Oh Yay! So glad you are doing something on the Snyder cut!! I think Snyder is one of the most over rated and misogynistic popular directors. You might want to check out Maggie May Fish's 3 part series on him. She gets into some serious almost academic analysis but is also funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOd6ZYZE5uA

Dan Gibbins

I enjoy your Twitch streams, I'm just not often awake for them.

Jewel Jackson

Oh my God a Barbie movie ranking video would be amazing.

Stephen Notley

Yeahhhhh, Nerd Explains, fun channel...

Casey McCallister

This was such a fun ramble topic! Would love to see progamerjenny once again. Perhaps with some Nancy Drew games?

Nicole Knapp

I’m excited for whatever this mystery news is, but part of me is really hoping for Horse Girl G-Fuel.

Lady Plinth

I love the streams!

jacob Angleton

I enjoyed the streams, especially the Disneyland one. I think it was fun to see all your expertise!

Jerry Nicholson

Textbook solution to an ethical dilemma

Matthew McCoy

I did not see the KPOP strategy coming.

Natalie Arnold

I never watch your streams but that's because I don't really watch streams in general, and have never watched anything on twitch /shrug My guess for the exciting announcement is a book deal. Having a specific date before it can be announced seems like it probably involves an agreement with outside forces rather than being a personal thing like moving. Now to spend a few weeks wondering what genre of giant spider fiction you're writing.

I do watch AND enjoy your streams!

Notation

I don't watch the streams, sorry.

Reed

if only katniss knew that to take down the capital she just had to sing the right song to get UMG to issue that dmca...

Hayley Penso

The only one I’ve seen recently is from caitlovesdisney

Eamonn

Hey Jenny, you mentioned reality shows and I was wondering, do you like Rupaul’s Drag Race?

Michael DeBellis

Deserts do have caves but I don't think they are made of sand but are in rock formations or the edges of mountains in the desert. There have been various finds of ancient documents that have been discovered in caves in the desert, such as early versions of the Torah, or alternative Gnostic versions of the Testaments of Jesus (one that was found about ten years ago was the story of Jesus told from the perspective of Judas, not actually written by Judas but written as if it was). One of the most famous are the Nag Hamandi scrolls found in a jar in a cave in the desert in Egypt.

I watched your twitch streams (Well, I watched the VODs) My favourite ones were the non-gaming ones though. Like when you and your sister were commenting on the Harry Potter fan films, that was great content

Darth_Credible_Halk

I would love for you to return to the occasional Twitch stream. Just renewed my subscription for the 8th consecutive month yesterday.

Hayley Penso

Trapped on a forest with hemsworth brother

Melissa

"I obviously don't know the laws of whatever stupid made-up country Katniss lives in..." I feel like it's pretty clearly supposed to be the United States and things are just different because it's the dystopian future, but maybe that was a bad assumption on my part. but either way I died laughing at this part

Eric

Love me some twitch streams

The Doom Merchant

fppfpfpfPFPFPFP this was my favorite ramble of the year so far, all of these ideas were hysterical and golden, 11/10

I love your streams! Live your pro gamer dreams!

Galewolf

Out of interest, what's the channel that did the Barbie movie ranking?

Wesley Quinonez

I would be totally down for some Twitch streams!

BrittaBott

“If you’re concerned about the ethics, you can murder him later.” Got it.

I watch the twitch streams and would love to see more of them!

Tj Belton

please steam in twitch again!!!!!

Frankie

I watch and enjoy your twitch streams!

Christopher Stoll

Watching this from inside my man-sized sand cave in New Mexico.

Sentient Puffball

yeah pro gamer jenny

Creamer

Whos the fave youtubers who ? ranked all the barbie movies? always in need of new content. lol

Stream Dynamite, send me all the poison so I may triumph over my foes for the glory of BTS

There's a youtube channel where you can watch the vod's as well. I am pretty sure she runs the vod's channel as she mentioned it at one point. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmRqIBBZaaOXChzlcLchaNA

Michael Hardel

Just so you know, that first vaccine isn’t too big of a deal. But, the second shot can be a different story. Don’t plan a lot of important stuff for a couple days after that one...

Daniel Nascimento

IN LOVE WITH THIS RECENT HUNGER GAMES RENAISSANCE

Michael

Hey Jenny, I never watch your twitch streams because they tend to happen very late here for me on EST, and you’ve locked your VOD to subs only. I don’t really want to sub there in addition to here (no offense) and so my preference would be to focus on your videos

The streams are great, although I've only watched the vod's and would probably only continue to watch the vod's.

Spicy_big_boy

I’m pro streaming

Rob Chauncey

That was both amazing content and I continue to be in awe of your ability to put up with unnecessary shit to say what you feel like saying. Respect!

Steven Clark

I'm pro-stream. They were a fun way to pass time.

Summer Eldridge

i assume "pocket sand" is a reference to king of the hill reference but i like to believe that it isnt and jenny is dale gribble

Joel Keene

The streams were amazing. The sisters podcast. I think it's the opposite of what you fear; the streams are like bonus videos that come out in between main videos.

Madeline Jackson

i always enjoy your streams!! would love to see more—theyre very zen.

To answer the streaming question, I enjoy them a lot. I especially enjoyed the Harry Potter short film watching streams, as a fan of amateur filmmaking.

Steve Ray

In a pouch labeled "SPOILED FOOD," so nobody will steal it from you By contrast, keep the poisons in a pouch labeled "HEALTHY FOOD," so that hopefully someone will steal it from you, and then eat it.

Clara

The BTS part is sound logic

Oskar Acosta

I like your twitch streams a lot! They’re even more perfect as background noise while working

Luis

But if you run around naked where do you keep the pocket sand? Also the streams were great I really miss them!

I think that her false Camp Plan is the best of the ones she told us about! It would probably work at least a few times.

Dylan

I loved your streams! Would definitely like to see more of them in the future. The new Pokemon snap is out at the end of the month, would be fun to see you play that. I really enjoyed you playing the original.

big bird (not that one)

I feel like it's a testament to the Hunger Games worldbuilding that even when you try to push the boundaries of the rules, most strategies come down to entertaining/sucking up to the rich. Which really works for the "baby's first eat the rich" theming (I read the books as a preteen girl but somehow missed the movie, I'm just assuming they kept that bc it's not exactly easy to remove)

Avi Escobar

Was the use of “temptation” when speaking about the reality show video possibilities a hint that the scripted vid is Temptation Island? Probably not, but I would enjoy that video so much lmao.

Bryan Sutton

Jenny adds extra poison to the poison berries she gives to Peeta, for good measure.

Holly H.

I would love to see you stream more! Please do!!

Lane Ridao

I would love to watch more of your streams, any excuse for just more Jenny content

Ben Lyons

Unless this was filmed before he ran away... And he only ran away because Jenny's been pitting her plushes against each other in a hunger games style battle for survival.

Ben Lyons

More streams would be good! I haven't seen any of your previous streams, but your Sonic Adventure supercut was great. Being defeated last second by a boss you thought you'd beaten was both hilarious and very relatable.

Eric MacMillan

Watched every stream I could, would be so cool if they came back!

When you stream it’s like extra content and I don’t realize the gap in between videos. Plus it takes me like a week to finish a steam since they’re like 4 hours so it’s great content

F W Pancakes

you don't even need a music player, just vaguely humming anything that sounds even slightly like any top 40 hit from the past 30 years seems to get you a strike
