The Pathologic Potluck Party

[@isthatarealponcho254]

Everyone bringing in their nice dishes and Boomer Artemy be like "I just wanna grill for mother Bodho's sake!"

[@PlayheadNorth]

I fully believe that it's possible Artemy would just bring a bull and slaughter it outside the party just like Ron wanted to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKLTg5ygqc17hbM

[@soles3419]

The question "what did u bring to the potluck?" Left me so dumbfounded, horrified and in shock for some reason

[@PlayheadNorth]

:)

[@agushernandez6083]

I brought bread. It might not be very tasty, but it does take about a quarter of your hunger away.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Extremely useful offering, thank you!

[@TheGallantDrake]

As long as it isn't thrown away!

[@77777thats67s]

Babe, wake up! New hyperspecific Pathologic character analysis dropped!

[@77777thats67s]

Also, I'd bring deviled eggs with the yolks carefully piped back in. I think it'd be a good additional savory protein while still being a vegetarian option. People don't normally trust it at room temperature but it'd be one of the least suspicious dishes served. I'd put it right next to Daniil's cucumbers to deliberately evoke comparison between the preparation styles and watch as more of my contribution were taken than his so I could feel superior.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Haha that’s fantastic! I love it.

[@surrealrose513]

God, the breakdown of Fat Vlad and Vlad the Younger's personalities and flaws with just a freaking apple pie is making my day. I'm going to use this example when describing them. A++

[@PlayheadNorth]

They're both so terrible lol.

[@oneinathousand2156]

Would Artemy and maybe Rubin be the only ones allowed to cut into the food with a knife, and would Daniil try to help out but the Kains would be like “no, no, you can’t use a knife, you’re not a menkhu”? Also, I’ll just bring chips and salsa to the party.

[@PlayheadNorth]

An excellent point about using a knife. I would like to think this is exactly how it would play out but just because they are pranking Daniil and not because it's an actual town rule. And salsa and chips are always welcome!

[@PineappleLiar]

I wanna add that Artemy also brings an entire spice rack with him for the grilling process, the amount of awkward shuffling intensifies as Artemy tries to simultaneously juggle all of his spice rubs at the same time as 5 different steaks. Daniil might also bring a jug of some obscur e recreation of an Ancient Roman drink, maybe posca? No one would drink it cause it’s straight up watered down vinegar with herbs, but Daniil would have a glass on him the entire night, espousing the beverage’s health benefits to everyone. Clara is doing bar tricks with anyone who will give her time time, and has made a solid $10. Oh and I’m bringing homemade chips and a seven layer dip. I like the meditative process of frying chips and with the seven layer dip you only need to make some guac and refried beans (I like using black beans, myself) then every other layer you can buy at the store.

[@TheGallantDrake]

I'm wondering if Daniil would drink his posca either lol

[@cerealpisserpenguin]

I love this. I like the interpretation that Peter is either too depressed or never took care of himself before that he made a dish that’s inedible lol. I would also love to imagine that one day he mustered enough energy and made a “utopian creation” dish that just defies all laws of the universe. Like the donut in everything everywhere all at once. And turns the potluck into a lovecraftian abomination of a party. And Andrey will be like that’s my brother what a genius

[@nordinreecendo512]

Daniil would either bring nothing and say that his presence is enough, or he would bring a crappy potato salad and insist that his offering is clearly the best.

[@PlayheadNorth]

I debated this point personally, whether P1 Daniil would bring something crappy that he spent 5 minutes on or whether he'd put an unnecessary amount of effort into a thing, act like it wasn't a big deal, and all that just so nobody would eat it, and I realized which one felt more right as I got to the end of the thought lol. P2 Daniil would just bring a crappy potato salad though, totally, and then spend the whole time talking about how everyone should be lucky he took time out of his extremely busy schedule to be there lol.

[@lemadmem1224]

@@PlayheadNorth don't be too mean to P2 Daniil, he isn't controlled by the player, and you know that uncontrolled Bachelor quickly evolves into Bitchelor

[@muddlewait8844]

I invited my daughter to the potluck, who made a tray of delicious handmade chocolates I was planning to count as *my* contribution until I acknowledged to myself how crappy that was but by that time it was too late, so I rationalized purchasing something simple and unthreatening for people who didn’t want to experiment with others’ offerings and just bought a nut assortment, which when I got there was obviously just a worse, less thoughtful version of what the *children* had brought, so I spent the party not talking to anyone so no one could ask what my dish was. My daughter’s chocolates were amazing, though, so I’ll still get invited next time

[@Calcx755]

I would probably bring some obscure strangely flavored 2 liter soda that no one else drinks so I can have it all to myself while acting like I still brought something. So basically something Daniil would do.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Haha I love it!

[@somnolentusVergilius]

I think so)

[@Romanticoutlaw]

in my wildest fantasies, some piece of fiction and the characters in it I create someday would be analyzed to the point of someone working out what they would bring to a potluck--mostly because it involves such an in-depth breakdown of each character's psychology and motives and presents it in such a relatable setting. I feel like that's got to be one of the highest honors an artist could get. No cap.

[@TheGallantDrake]

Same, it's a sign of how much depth the characters possess.

[@AyaKho]

Odd April Fools gag but I'll roll with it.

[@PlayheadNorth]

No, what's odd is how much thought I put into this. Enjoy the cringe lol.

[@volition142]

Artemy arrives with an oversized backpack containing various cow organs, herbs, basic chemistry equipment, and cooking utensils he then proceeds to start a fire in your yard, and with methods that defy your knowledge of cooking, chemistry, and basic sanitation he produces a sickly green concoction with half-melted strands of meat floating in it. When you ask him what it is He answers "It's a local remedy, it will cure your hunger" he offers you a small vial "Drink it in one shot, your stomach will not permit you to take a second." when you refuse Artemy casually drinks the concoction. The potion remains in a punch bowl untouched for about a hour during this time Artemy spends his time talking to Rubin and checking on the termites while ignoring all of the food. Once It becomes clear that no one will ever touch his concoction pour the potion into a water skin then leaves. You later hear that Saburov’s men arrested him in the factory district for distributing food or beverages without a license. He insists to this day that is a conspiracy trying to suppress the cure for hunger and protect the meat industry.

[@PlayheadNorth]

I love this.

[@Darkyan97]

Finally I'll get some answers to some *actually* important questions!

[@PlayheadNorth]

I know, right??? I don't know what I was thinking with my other videos on Pathologic when I could have just made this one the whole time.

[@dragonfire7965]

Not from Mark, though!

[@kingcrimsonwashere8736]

Steamed Dried Bok Choy and Bamboo with Pork belly, a dish from my mother's hometown. Salty, and delicious. Also quite plentiful.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Oh, that sounds delicious!

[@PinksProud]

Three apple pies. Classic Olgimskys! Also I brought a vegan cheesecake to the potluck. I spent too much money on the toppings because I wanted to dazzle people and I'm self conscious to bring a vegan dish to what I assume is a bunch of meat loving Russians potluck. When it is told to me that desserts are already over catered for I curse myself that I didn't just go with some veggie samosas and dipping sauce.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Amazing, I love it! Also Yulia sees you eyeing the three apple pies at the party and gives a little sigh. "This happens more often that you might think," she says. "I think they mostly all miss Victoria."

[@chalkolate]

this is my favorite pathologic video ever made thank you for this masterpiece

[@PlayheadNorth]

I am very glad you enjoyed it. I cut a full two minutes of giggling from the recording and at least five instances of "this is so dumb, why am I doing this."

Clara brings a can of green beans that she dug out of the trash, but it’s half eaten already because she got hungry on the walk there

[@reign_issue]

Danill my beloved. he would bring a grocery store cake and pretend he baked it. personally i would bring savory palmiers- a palmier with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, toasted pine nuts, and pesto on the inside instead of sugar and butter. so absurdly, absurdly good.

[@dasakotikova1546]

This truly made my horrible week so much better

[@PlayheadNorth]

I'm so happy to have helped! I'm glad this piece of trash has made the world at least a tiny bit better.

[@rulerofflapjacks6838]

I bring baked beans to the party because I can't imagine a party without them. I didn't make them though, I take baked beans from a can and put them in a slow cooker so they stay warm throughout the party.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Excellent foresight with the slow cooker!

[@charliejanzen1672]

I'd bring a pan of brownies and then JUST IN CASE everyone else brought dessert too I would bring a couple bags of salad mix since you can never be too careful

[@PlayheadNorth]

This is a very sensible decision, thank you!

[@lets-all-love-lain]

I'm english so we don't call them potlucks, but we do have those kinds of partys. My mum used to always make these amazing vegan cheese straws, they were so good in fact that I would just eat them all before anyone else got the chance.

[@lulairenoroub3869]

I brought raisins. For the kids.

[@rockelenelly7687]

I personally find this video brilliant and groundbreaking. No need for further analysis after this. Also, I would've brought chocolate cookies to the potluck, and then felt bad once I realized that there were already many desserts and maybe bringing a dinner food would've been better. Lol

[@PlayheadNorth]

I honestly can't believe I didn't make this sooner. What was the point of writing a Hamlet about Pathologic when i could end all discourse with a 20 min video? Also, I'm honestly not going to complain about the insane number of desserts at the party. I want to see what happens to Daniil when he gets a sugar high.

I brought bottles of kefir because I love to see the opinions on it and we needed more beverage options. Algorithm boost aside, I love love love the character analysis potential when it comes to food.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Haha, that sounds great! Every potluck needs some trashy food.

[@non-bird-nary2420]

i bring chicken and dumplings with some added carrots, green beans, mushrooms, and corn. the dumplings look a lot more like biscuits but it's quite good! i also bring a punch bowl of a light green drink that i swear is lemonade and after cautiously taking a sip it does indeed appear to be just exotic lemonade. (it is actually just several bottles of calypso kiwi lemonade dumped into a bowl with some lemon slices to be fun and goofy)

[@JC-bv6tb]

The discussion isn't over yet - the people need to know what food the albino would bring!

This is adorable. And you know what I also did something similar with my favorite game series of all time the Mass Effect Trillogy. In the last game theres a DLC where you can have a party and invite all your friends and as much as i lovvvvveeeeed the concept i felt there should have been more going on so i thought up an entire plot of what happened, who hooked up with who, who became close friends after the party, ect. Im not a good fanfiction writer so i never put it on a website or anything but i do remember vividly writing about it in high school lol I respect the time it took to actually look up these dishes btw some i never even heard of.

[@VieriTheArtist]

Peter getting out of the bathtub is self care.

[@VieriTheArtist]

But as for my dish to this potluck, I bring ham and cheese bread! Take croissant dough flattened and still in tact, a thin layer of Dijon Mustard, then in the center layer deli sliced ham and shredded cheese (Colby Jack tends to be my favorite). After it is assembled, you lift the sides of the croissant dough and pinch them together in the center. Take an egg, beat it, and spread it out on the top of your loaf, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top! I forgot what the original recipe said to bake it at, but I usually go with 375 degrees until golden brown. Cut into pieces that are about two fingers thick, and enjoy! Great finger food, always a hit at gatherings.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Oh wow, that sounds so delicious! Also, I have a feeling that for Peter, getting into the bathtub is also self care. Really, anything that is not drinking twyrine is self care.

[@calebrands4912]

What's the point in throwing the brownies in the trash? One of the protagonists is bound to look through it. I wonder what a Worm would bring to the potluck? Whatever it is, he probably won't share the recipe unless you help him find his Herb Bride who mysteriously ran off.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Excellent point about the trash. One way or another, I have a feeling that Clara is definitely going to end up eating them. I'm not sure what a worm would bring. Probably root vegetables? And honestly, I have a feeling that if you found the herb bride, she'd be more than happy to bribe you with food to keep her location secret, and I bet her food is better.

Seeing as Andrew is the only guest who has brought drinks, albeit low grade alcohol twyrine, I too would probably bring some kind of non alcoholic drinks for the kids.

[@SamuxRadioactivity]

I'm bringing a Frito pie with layers of white and yellow American cheese, and chili cheese Fritos instead of regular. It's salty and will fill a reasonable amount of your Hunger meter but deplete your Thirst and Health significantly.

@@PlayheadNorth I understand how you feel. It's really hard admitting to yourself that you made something good. But I laughed my ass off at the apple pie part! You spent many hours going over the videos (maybe watched them hundreds of times while editing). That repetition kind of sucks out the entertainment/interest of the creator. You have analyzed your own videos more than anyone else, that's why they might seem mediocre. Whenever I look back on my own projects, all I see are flaws. That's normal. In reality, all viewers see the videos for the first time.

Mmmm, bread!

While I am late to this video, i really enjoyed it haha :) really good writing in this, I enjoyed your portrayals of the characters very much. I think I will try to make a few of these dishes. And for real, if you are getting burnt out of Pathologic dont be afraid to take a break from it. It would really suck for your love of the game to be diminished becuase of all the time you sink into playing, thinking, writing, and talking about it. Everyone has a limit on specific subjects regardless of how much importance and love we hold on them.

[@PlayheadNorth]

Yeah, I think I finally got what I really needed to say out of my system, which is good because I was really obsessing about the game for a while haha. This video was 90% a joke that I took too far, though, since my brain is physically incapable of being concise.

[@hanielcampos349]

This video gives me much serotonin, but this beef tartare hate is just unwarranted. One day, people will realize the greatness of well seasoned beef tartare...

[@PlayheadNorth]

Look. Look. I am not going to be responsible for someone giving themselves food poisoning because they think hmmm beef tartare seems like a good idea and I want to try it for myself. If you want beef tartare, go to a trained professional.

[@someone-you-do-not-know8522]

My thoughts exactly! Beef tartare is the best!

[@alexanderthomsen4593]

this makes me feel inadequate cause all i did for april fools was make my discord server into homer simpson gaming

[@PlayheadNorth]

Look, I put way too much effort into this video, so I would not necessarily recommend.

[@SteppefordWife]

Yup, never heard of Potluck parties (I'm British). Though we do stuff like that at times but don't really have a name for it. Usually happens when the host can't be arsed to cook that day.

[@PlayheadNorth]

I am glad to spread this useless tidbit of American culture to the world haha.

rad

[@PlayheadNorth]

Is it though?

[@jameswilliamson7876]

@@PlayheadNorth yep, lots of thought put in. also I would bring a Bolognese but no spaghetti

[@PlayheadNorth]

Oooh, Bolognese sounds delicious! Now I'm hungry.

[@satosen8722]

I'm dying about the apple pie cadavour this is the pathologic content we deserve

[@PlayheadNorth]

Thank you! I’m just going to say that it’s canon now that the Olgimskys have a thing for apple pies.

[@satosen8722]

@@PlayheadNorth it truly is and I won't take it otherwise

[@starwarsfan117]

I'd probably bring a second rate cut of steak, Something like chuck blade; It'd be cooked till it was about medium rare, They'd all be hand seasoned; Followed up with hand chopped home fries because I am incapable of making a steak without some form of potato: Everyone would be confused as to how a lobster did all this with his hands bound.

[@nd6483]

enough of path of logic for the day

[@PlayheadNorth]

I have ended all Pathologic discourse, so enough for ... forever?

[@nd6483]

haha hopefully not

[@Shona-yb2iy]

This is innacuarte because no Slav would turn their nose up at steak tartare.

[@swimmyswim417]

I know I’m late to the potluck, but I’m bringing along some sort of potato and cheese casserole. Maybe I’ll toss in a handful of kale or chopped spinach to add some actual nutrition, but really it’s hard to go wrong with a cheesy, carb-loaded mess.

[@PlayheadNorth]

So true! Hard to say no to potatoes and cheese.

[@BrownieMixes]

Ahhh yes. Thank you so much for clearing this up for me! Incredibly insightful.

[@PlayheadNorth]

I'm so glad I was able to make this video! I feel like it'll be really helpful for the Pathologic community going forward.

[@marley2219]

Oh, I bring a cookie cake, covered in honemade fudge spread on top. Good as fuck, tons of sugar tho, like, enough to kill a peasant in the middle ages. Most people will only have a small slice

[@PlayheadNorth]

That sounds delicious! Good thing I have a very high sugar tolerance!

Given the news that has come out about Nikolay Dybowski, I am adding a pinned comment to all of my Pathologic videos. It can't be the exact same pinned comment, apparently, because then KZbin believes I'm a spammer and keeps deleting it or disabling the links. I am incredibly annoyed at Google right now, but there is nothing to be done. Basically, there is credible evidence against Dybowski. If you want to look at the evidence against him, follow this link, but please note a content warning for CSA: docs.google.com/document/d/1KeKKptAkn1D662UZYdWWg-mr16YbYK-S/edit. In light of this, I want to encourage people to take a look at these allegations for themselves and let their friends who might be interested in Pathologic know about them as well. The rumor is that these allegations have been an open secret around Dybowski for some time, and one of the worst things people in the Pathologic community can do is let them fade into secrecy once more. I am not going to judge you if you want to continue engaging with Pathologic; I am simply asking that you do so with knowledge of this evidence against its creator. If you would like to do something to help, the following tumblr has some great links for organizations you can donate to: auroraoptica.tumblr.com/post/647700868588863488/hey-everyone-given-the-recent-news-from-twitter. Thanks everyone, and take care of yourselves. And gosh dang it KZbin, stop deleting my own comments.

[@PermianExtinction]

Thanks so much for adding this comment, it's important for everyone to openly talk about it so, as you said, it doesn't fade into secrecy. But also... I have been looking forward to watching your videos once I finished my playthrough of P1 and I now really feel bad for all the work you put into them only to find out this awful information. TBH this video really has helped me get through the end of this rough day. It was a reminder that the Pathologic community has so much creativity and charm and all the things that have been made for it still have value. Hope you are doing well.

[@PlayheadNorth]

@@PermianExtinction Thanks, yeah, I think I'm doing okay. I'm also probably more upset than I think I am since I haven't really been able to focus on anything else today. Yeah ... this is rough. It's hard to find out that something that has been meaningful to you and that you spent a ton of time with and that has helped you connect with other people was made by a pretty awful person. On the one hand, I feel kind of fortunate that I'm finding out now after I had already pretty much processed everything about Pathologic that I needed to and was planning on moving on anyways. On the other hand, I definitely wish I'd known this all along. And I feel absolutely selfish for thinking of myself right now because obviously the victims of his grooming matter the most, even though I know that selfishness is just (sigh) part of being human. I'm glad this silly video helped you get through the day. One of the more important things to me in making these videos has been building a community of rad people, so I totally agree about the community aspect of Pathologic. The guy who made Pathologic might be a dirtbag, but that doesn't mean we can't still be a community without him.

I was thinking Big vlad would bring like a butterscotch pie, that's got actual scotch in it. (Young Vlad brings butterscotch pie with proper ingredients)

[@PlayheadNorth]

I love this.
