Dune Chat

[@MichaelSmith-rr7mo]

I watched this video 6 years ago and came back to watch it again today because his grasp of the themes and "lore" of Dune is so spot on its really a great listen

[@jordanr.4856]

The good work, thank you.

[@MD-pg1fh]

This talk has been absolutely fantastic. Matt does a fantastic job conveying the fun in the complex politics in Dune. The only thing that he undersold a little is the revelation that the Fremen are stockpiling water. We spend a hundred or more pages on their water conservation ways down to the milliliter, how sharing even a sip with your fellow incurs an almost spiritual bond/debt, how they keep track with rings, how they render their dead down to get their water. And THEN we get led to that *vast* underwater cavern. I got shivers, and I love the fact that a book could give me that feeling.

[@jeffeppenbach]

One of the little blurbs at the beginning of a chapter mentioned how dangerous someone is with self control. To delay or ignore satisfaction, can lead to long term victory.

[@NevTheDeranged]

They just need those extraction devices from the Tank Girl movie...

[@eridani41763]

Dangit Matt did you cut off your arm to put on the hand of vecna and invented the bike accident to distract us?

[@grozwald]

I always shake my head when I read about players doing that. Then I remember, "Oh yeah, I've done that."

[@lukecarroll4052]

I'd be very tempted...

[@grozwald]

Do it. Cease the power for yourself. It certainly won't affect YOU.

[@asagoldsmith3328]

Mr. Super Nintendo Chalmers No! Don't cease the power! Then no one can use it.

[@grozwald]

Do not listen! They would have the power for themselves! Take it! TAKE IT!!

Oh man, I wonder if you can make use of the speech to text programs that have made great progress over the last 5 years. Very sorry to hear about the incident Matt.

[@quarthinos]

David Weber smashed the bones in his right hand into small bits several years ago and has been using a speech-to-text program to do all his writing since.

[@Incurafy]

Definitely a +1 to trying out a speech to text program. They're leaps and bounds ahead of how they used to be and you should be able to write with one.

I can't wait to listen to this whole thing while I work on my D&D prep tonight.

[@robofthewest]

Awesome chat about a great novel. I remember a foolish incident with a "cool" english teacher in highschool, who ridiculed me (or tried to) by picking up my library copy of Dune, looked at the cover, and pronounced to the class "Oh! Zoltan the flying monster", then he basked in the titters and laughter of the class. He seemed to live for the "cool kids' " approval. He was a real tool.

Watching this to hold me over till the next Dune video

[@mikegould6590]

Matt, as a person who’s had several motorcycle accidents, and who’s had lots of broken bones/surgeries: Always get back on the bike. Never let life defeat you. Never let fear cripple you. If we ever accepted that, we’d never have flown, gone into space, or dated lovely ladies.

[@mikegould6590]

I should also tell you that, on a shattered ankle held together with bits of metal, my buddy Oaf insisted we build a bike together. Impairment isn’t what stops you. It’s fear of impairment. Second, we love you. A lot. I’ve been gaming since 79, and you’re an inspiration. As one who follows the ways of my people, I will offer sweetgrass and Sage for your successful surgery. Your belief in my beliefs isn’t needed. Only acceptance that we all care. Spirits walk with you, Matthew.

[@agelatinouscube930]

Rock on brother, love from Ireland

[@kalj1939]

I respect your mentality, but the guy has a family that depends on him. Not sure if going back to riding motorcycles is the best choice.

[@kjboyce1809]

"as a person who’s had several motorcycle accidents"... "Always get back on the bike" Really dude?

[@Incurafy]

What's so hard to understand? It's a metaphor for not giving up.

[@420crazyclown420]

I love these "flow of concience" "deep dive" a subject type videos. Your explaination of Dune helped me to further understand a series I already loved. May you recover swiftly and completely.

[@thomaswhitehouse8701]

Hey, Matt! I just wanted to say that I ran D&D for the first time last weekend for a bunch of my friends, and your videos super inspired me and helped me. Afterwards, my players all told me they had a super fun time, and nobody died (as I feared may happen). Sorry to hear about your injury, and I hope you make a swift recovery.

[@tathagatasaurus36]

I love dune. God Emperor is my favorite. So happy to hear of your enthusiasm for it.

[@JoeAuerbach]

Randomly awake at 5:00 am for a few minutes and I see a Matt video? Sure. Screw sleeping.

[@XanothAvaeth]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Matt. Hope the surgery goes well. I was just watching your twitch stream with my Sunday morning coffee when I got the youtube notification that the video was back up. Pretty sure most of your audience enjoys these sorts of chats just as much as we enjoy your D&D content, so would love more if it helps you have something to focus on while your arm heals up. Hope you get some sleep, must be late for you by now.

[@228zip]

I do prefer edited content, it's a lot more focused.

[@XanothAvaeth]

I mean on his twitch channel, as he talks about at the start of the video :)

[@aquadros]

Great talk! 4 years later, still good!

[@ReustersPlace]

Get better, Matt.

[@tylerh2548]

I found the summary of film criticism around the 40:00 minute mark very insightful...I am consistently pleased when someone else explicitly clarifies an implied idea that has been essentially lost because the generations cycling through lose the context of that explicit idea for lack of being confronted with it. Going forward, I now have a new perspective for viewing critiques. Life Lessons with Colville.

[@surfersdoit]

I have always liked your videos, the fact you started that with Barretts Privateers..... You sir are a man of true culture.

[@ivanzane]

Oh Matt! I am watching in 2021 (because my favorite book is Dune), and I have so much sympathy for you even now. I am glad you wore a helmet. A helmet probably saved my father-in-law's life. He still spent time in the hospital after flipping his bike, breaking his collar bone, and puncturing a lung with broken ribs.

[@wadehoney9922]

Tore my right rotar cuff couple of months ago...crazy trying to write, to sleep... just relax. Wishing you well bud. I work for NHS so understand your hospital experience. Loving your Dune stuff... incredible sci-fi on so many levels. Thank you for sharing such a weath of knowledge... love your videos!!

[@ernestolombardo5811]

Best description of the Dune universe ever, with apologies to Ideas Of Fire And Ice, which excels at doing a compressed narration of the books. But then there's this: "If you guys wanna argue about Mythbusters, go and do it someplace else." I like Matthew very much, and I like the community that has gathered around him, at the center of something special, something straightforward and transparent, smart and friendly and dare I even say joyful, here on KZbin.

[@theworstbird]

For what it's worth, the Atreides and Harkonnens are feuding because an Atreides ancestor exiled a Harkonnen ancestor centuries (millenia?) previously, for cowardice displayed at the Battle of Corrin, whatever that was, and the Harkonnens had to work their way back to status over generations of clever economic play. This is never explored further than a throw-away line (except in the atrocious McDune novels), but that's the given justification for it.

[@ScottHAdkins]

This is what I remember as well.

[@gavinl4388]

Yes

[@The1wsx10]

rimworld is a gripping top-down management game you can play with just the mouse thematically, it's firefly but you are a colony, stuck on a planet no one cares about.

[@IVIaskerade]

And all your colonists are either drug addicts or will be soon.

[@The1wsx10]

XD nah you can avoid it... but it think the withdrawal system is pretty stupid in some cases... eg alcohol, sure they can become an alcoholic, but im pretty sure they aren't having the same withdrawals for the whole year(s) it takes them to properly quit as they do when they first go cold turkey. they would still be having withdrawals, but they would fade over time rather than get worse in severity

*Casting* "Cure Serious Wounds"

[@AlexLuthore]

Ana Bathe "Greater Restoration" would remove the debilitating effect. Might be able to convince the DM to allow Lesser Restoration to remove the condition.

[@AaronReese]

I have always felt that the Dune series got stronger with every entry through Chapterhouse. I usually have the opposite reaction to novel series, falling in love with an author's introduction to a universe. Herbert had such deep and incredible material that continuously unfolded it never stopped amazing me.

I love this chat about Dune, it's nice to find other people as invested in the whole thing!! Dune ♥

Dune has been my absolute favorite ever since I first read it in high school. and now after listening to this I feel the need to read it again.

[@dennism.2976]

hey matt, good luck on your surgery and get well soon! i just wanted to take a second and say thank you! thx for all your efford in regard to dnd and espacially the dm'ing! i am a fairly new DM, but have so much fun doing it and so does my group! you encouraged me to just try it out and to figure out all the ambivalent stuff concerning dnd for myself. in a way, you gave me permission to do a lot of things my own way, not because dnd does not allow that, but because some aspects of the game seemed uncertain and as a new DM, i often felt unsure about how to tackle certain topics. you talked about lots of these topics in your channel and often gave not a clear answer on how to do it, but rather how to make it your own, what (even though i didn't know it at the time) was the exact thing i was looking for! i learned not only what my style as a DM is, what style of campaign i want to run but also how to realise this and you on your part gave me the courage to do so! so long story short, i just wanted to appreciate all the efford you do and please continue to inspire us the way you do! i really learned a lot from you and surely will in the future! thx a lot from a fellow matt

[@southconwayNH]

Phenomenal rundown of Dune; gave me chills remembering some of that stuff as you described it. When I saw the David Lynch film (4 times) in 1984, I thought I was the only one in the world who liked it. It seemed like every critic in America loathed it and named it the worst film of the year. Think you stumbled on BR2049, though :)

[@MylonPruett]

Oh Man, I really hope the surgery goes well and you recover quickly. I grew up biking and I've seen some stuff man. I hope you do get back into it. Also, it's incredible how personally introspective you are. Most people wouldn't be able to process emotion and future life changes. I'll be praying for you.

drinking game, take a shot every time you hear "is a hero of mine" or "I'm going to make a video about" and you will get the right amount of alcohol consumption, not too much, but good enough

[@NeverarGreat]

Watching your explanation of the Dune universe I was struck by one of the things that may greatly benefit any adaptation: the importance of secrecy. What I mean by this is that there are 'wheels within wheels' in the Dune universe, the obvious explanations and the subtle reasons. It's important to know the obvious explanations, such as the Atredies/Harkonnen rivalry. What is essential, and should be presented as terrifying revelation, are such things as the ecological transformation of Dune, the full abilities of the Bene Gesserit, and most importantly the understanding that it is discipline in the face of death, and not a fictional Spice, that truly allows humanity to evolve.

[@dannynoon013910]

I read Dune when i was in HS, but this Chat invigorated my desire to take it in again so I got it on Audible this month and i'm consuming it now. Thanks Matt!

[@samuelm4719]

I just started a DnD chapter with my players placing them in a Dune-esq desert inhabited by massive worms that get cranky when people use magic (as opposed to shields). So far it's been great for countering the 'I've got a spell for that' solution that tends to get a teeny bit monotonous during regular programming. So fantastic to hear your take on Dune Matt!

For the first bit of this story, I thought it was a motorcycle accident. Then you mentioned going up on the sidewalk, and I was thinking, "Who rides a motorcycle on a sidewalk???" Then I realized you were talking about a bicycle.

Just a shout out for your friend George, we live in the Albany NY area and have been to Zombie Planet, good shop!

[@Humorless_Wokescold]

The movie was such a complete clusterfuck that even the director hated it. Which is why, if you're like me and enjoy train wrecks, you should look up on the film's troubled production.

[@paulschirf9259]

Love your take on campaign setting content - take what you like and ignore the rest is the way so many old-timers treated the published material, but I've found more and more players who expect to play in a published setting "as written", which is why I rename everything I borrow or steal from published material... yeah, yeah, the City of Xiramir map is the same as Nyanzaru - but no, it's MY city of Xiramir....

[@tylerh2548]

I want to add my +1 to the idea of sticking to unedited videos until you recover, MC. I'm sure all the community prefers uncensored content to no content! Also, love a Dune series. I have yet to read it but recently resolved it was time...then misplaced my ancient paperback. I've since got the series on audiobook and ebook, and have been procrastinating because I'm just intimidated by it. However, your pointing out the theme of Lawrence of Arabia has totally got me excited and your rambling, almanac explajation of Dune setting has helped to remove the clutter I hear from other summaries and discussions, and I would love a series that delves into the cosmology and societyfrom the setting of Dune and the literary themes of the stories. Sorry to hear about your accident! Ginger and turmeric, fish oil, omega 3s among other foods can help reduce inflammation, hopefully it might make your injury heal just a little bit sooner. Prayers for your recovery and for your doctors to have wisdom.

[@SamFerguson]

I'm sorry to hear about your accident, I'm glad it wasn't worse. Good job putting a helmet around the grey matter; the Internet needs that thing for continued excellent D&D advice. I hope the surgery and recovery go as well as it possibly can.

[@jorgejuantorresquiroga5441]

Regarding the sardaukar and the harshness, there are real examples in our world of this. If I am not mistaken, finnish regular training is considered special forces training by NATO because it includes the kind of winter war preparation that is reserved for spec-ops in most countries.

[@theframe100]

Hey Matthew, I've been playing pnp for a decade (and I'm 21). As you can imagine, the beginnings were very rough - we made our own d6 systems based on a book we found in the school library, and played with rotating DMs (basically, each presented their version of the system, and a one shot scenario, and afterwards they would update their system and make up a new scenario). This lasted for a couple of years until we got tired with it. I joined a local wargaming club, which also had a warhammer rpg community. Sat around and watched the adults having fun with their brutal rpgs - and knew that's what I wanted to do. Eventually one of the players started a new group when their campaign concluded, and he asked me if I wanted to join. Now, he was a good player but damn he was a bad DM. Setting and character building was awful and his encounters were always too slow. (Too many enemies, sometimes too many npcs on our side, fight till the bitter end). Somehow, we still managed to have fun just through sheer tenacity, and inter-party roleplaying (to the dm's credit he was good at describing scenery). At 14-15 I joined another group which introduced me to adnd, which was extremely confusing compared to the warhammer system. It was great fun though, the dm was very good at dungeon-crawling - a style which has stuck with me since. It was around my 15-16th birthday I decided to run a campaign again, which led to a brutal and awesome dark heresy campaign, with several different plotting factions (Revolutionaries, chaos cultists, xeno infiltrators). The campaign concluded with the players drawing out all the leaders of these factions to a masquerade, where they try to uncover who is who. Eventually each of the enemy factions reveal that they have some kind of plot going on here - a bomb, a ritual, the kidnapping of a high noble. It ended in a massacre but two of the six pcs survived and we all had a blast - each conspiracy lost their leaders and were unravelled by the remaining PCs and their inquisitorial contacts. In the last couple of years, I've begun playing online with friends from all over the country, and strangers from all over the world. Since I started watching your videos, my world building and campaign design has improved tremendously. And I wanted to thank you for that. People seem to be enjoying the games more, in general. You're an awesome dude, and I'm sorry to hear about your accident, I hope you can still play, and I hope you recover fully.

Hi Matt I feel your pain. I got on an bike accident a few years ago, I broke my wrist and I had to work anyway with a awkward casket and I felt frustrated and angry, etc. It took me a while to get back to the bike and I remain afraid of getting injured again... and I gave the bike away recently. I think fear got the best of me in this one. I do hope it doesn't happen the same in your case. Maybe I'll buy a bike again soon, who knows :) Patience on your recovery. I know I ran out of mine, so I'm sending you tons in my thoughts. I managed to improve my tipping and mouse using skill by having a handicap. I'm very efficient now xD And I recommend Court of Thorn and Roses series :) Best of energy in your recovery!

You've got a lot of support Matt, but I want to give you my support, too! I love listening to your videos, and although I prefer your edited ones I like these free-form rambles, too. Always something interesting to learn. Also, I was super happy to hear some Stan Rogers. Fine taste!

Get back on that bike Matt. Get back on it.

[@MacMcNurgle]

Sir, thank you for your videos. I enjoy them greatly and I leverage off them for my DM-ing. I eagerly await each new drop. IMHO one of the key reasons I like your content is because you are so open. Watching your videos is like I imagine sitting down in a pub and having a beer with you would be. Given that, your loss of agency in not being able to make content is going to be difficult. Please know that a lot of people you do not know and will never meet, love you, trust you and respect you. We’ll wait.

So so sorry Matt. Wishing you the best in your recovery.

Matt gets even more interesting and epic if you listen to the Two Steps From Hell discography at the same time, with the volume turned down low enough to not interfere with hearing him clearly, but enough to be heard nicely.

[@samiollikainen6259]

Well it seems leaving at 5:30am missed me only 30minutes or so, but that was quite interesting. I do wish you a speedy recovery, but most importantly, I want to thank you for re-igniting my DMing fire after a year of hiatus. My last campaing just shriveled up when work schedule messed up the game for some players. I felt so down since I had put so much effort to the campaing at that point and got many memorable moments from the players and it just dies out because of work schedules. Also me being from Finland and DMing to Americans and Canadians, limited the days I could run the game (mostly the weekends). For almost a year I did not make any DMing things, although I was a player in another game (although had to take a break from that as it was messing with my school... It's been a stressful year. But little less than month ago, KZbin recomended me some random D&D lore videos, after few videos, your video of playertypes was suggested, and I watched it. And I enjoyed it. There I went to you your DM screen episode, Deck of many things, making characters, random encounters, time in game, prep, losing... I got hooked. Your insight that came from many years of experience running the game got me thinking what I could do better, how can I improve my prep, how to hook players even better. All this has now culminated in to me creating my own setting, my own little detailed piece of world that I can use in the future to run D&D games. I feel the creative fire burning hot, after being stoked by your videos. So I wanted to say thank you. That is also one reason why I was in the Dune chat too. I tried to do it there, but 700 people chatting, somethings are bound to be missed. So here it is. *THANK YOU!* I will once more hope you a quick recovery and pleace do get on the bike again. Something happening once is just coincidence.

[@johnr7279]

Awesome chat on Dune! Hope your arm gets better and soon! Rambling is fine and I'd best most agree. Nearly ALL of your ramblings are pretty interesting!

[@jeffstehman6984]

I need to read Dune again. It's been 30+ years, and I'm having a lot of "huh?" moments during this video.

[@orrin2002]

Hay Matt, sorry to hear about the arm. I did something similar a few years ago, both arms. I totally get how deadly the boredom of healing can be , I would sit on a pier ( yes in Halifax, to bad I can't sing so well) and watch the ships. I came up with the basses of my setting. I hope your healing goes well.

[@shanematthews9856]

I started playing dnd in high school. After realizing that he was railroading us we stopped playing. About a year ago I decided to take the position of DM (age 19). Your videos are a great help, recover soon.

[@AzraelThanatos]

With Dune, while the novels were great as were both the movie and the two miniseries, what really brought the world alive for me was the RTS games. I'd love to see there be references to House Ordos in a movie...
