WHO DIS?


Lifelong entertainers hoping to make you laugh and blessed enough to have found a community that supports our bad habit. Our show is irreverent, fun, and filled with innuendo and we hope you can appreciate our unique style.PDM is a 676+ years old bishop who was placed in a box and put to the bottom of the Rhine river by his own people though awoken from this watery grave after being stumbled upon by Pinky in 2017. Ol Deader mercifully accepted his new servant's promise to help rebuild his influence, wealth and power.

FAQ


Wait, You Make Music?

Yep. I’ve actually been cooking up music for a couple years behind the scenes using FL Studio and Cakewalk mostly. I’ll lay down ideas on my MIDI keyboard or sometimes straight from an old piano, then I build everything out with synths, samples, and some VSTs I vibe with—Kontakt, Arturia, a few others I’ve collected.I handle all the mixing and mastering myself and really dial in the EQ, reverb, compression. In a way making music is kinda my therapy at this point. I love sculpting the sound, making something that hits different and it’s been wild seeing people finally hearing what I’ve been quietly building all this time.

What’s Cakewalk? FL Studio?

Cakewalk’s slept on—it’s a free DAW with solid mixing tools. I like the workflow for more traditional, piano-driven stuff. FL Studio’s great for beats and experimenting. I bounce between the two depending on the vibe I am going for.

Do you play everything yourself or use loops?

Bit of both. I like laying down melodies and chords myself, but I’m not above using a great loop or sample as a texture. It’s all about blending stuff in a way that feels original.

Where do you get your samples and VSTs from?

I’ve built up a little library over time—some free packs, some stuff I grabbed from Splice or Plugin Boutique. I’m picky though, I don’t just drop in a sample raw; I tweak it, chop it, layer it till it fits.

How long does it take you to make a track?

Depends—sometimes a track just clicks and I’ve got it in a day or two. Other times I sit on it, revisit it, mix it again. Usually takes a week or so if I’m really polishing it up.

Do you sing or is it all instrumental?

Mostly instrumental, but I’ve been experimenting with layering in vocal chops or little hooks. I don’t sing much myself but I love using the voice as an instrument. Then again there is that one time I sung the national anthem at the Zephyr's game...

Did you go to school for music or are you self-taught?

Self-taught. I played piano growing up, but everything production-wise has been YouTube tutorials, trial and error, and just messing around. Learning by ear and feel.

What’s your process for mixing and mastering?

I mix as I go, but then at the end I’ll really zone in—balance everything, tweak EQ, compress, reverb, maybe throw some saturation on the master. I like a clean but warm sound.

Do you use presets or make your own sounds?

Both. I’ll start with a preset but I always tweak it—adjust filters, envelopes, effects—until it’s mine. I’m big on making it feel unique, not cookie-cutter.

What inspired you to finally release your music?

I got tired of sitting on it. Friends kept telling me to drop something, and once I started sharing clips, the feedback pushed me over the edge. It’s been awesome seeing people connect with it.

Are you planning to perform live or is this just for streaming/YouTube?

I’d love to do a live set one day, but right now I’m focused on making tracks that vibe on their own. I’m open to remixing them for a live format later tho.

VOLUNTEERS

get to know our community staff

Pinky - Administrator

Pinky is the main producer of the show, behind the scenes guru, and assistant to the PoorDeadMan. As an administrator, Pinky's role is to oversee the community and assist with the integration of new staff members into the fold.


Brickphail - Administrator

Brickphail has been following the show since January 25th, 2020-- though probably before that. This troll unfollows and refollows to mess with PDM's numbers. As an administrator his primary role is to advise the PoorDeadMan, onboard new volunteers, organize community aspects like Dead Die Here, and ensure the tone and quality of our community is what we're aiming for.


Tangible_Raptor - Administrator

Tangible has been following the show since May 19th, 2017. He first joined our community during PDM's team fortress 2 broadcasting days and the two have played many rounds of that classic meme-shooter together. Tangible's primary role as an administrator is to help organize our community into healthy discussions and to challenge the PoorDeadMan when he gets too paranoid about the Paladin.


PoisonHearrt - Event Organizer

PoisonHearrt is an entertainer, broadcaster, and community treasure-- having followed the PoorDeadMan show for many years. She is one of our community's top supporters, both in tips/donations and the !bones leaderboard. In her capacity as an Event Organizer for the community she hosts a (free) poker tournament once a month in the Prominence Poker game on the adjacent "Deader's Tavern" discord.


Stay_Frosty_Gaming - Event Organizer

Stay_Frosty_Gaming is a frequent collaborator with PoorDeadMan and one of our primary organizers for Season 2 of the Dead Die Here-- our weekly project zomboid roleplay campaign. He has been collaborating on making videos and content with PDM for many years and the two have incredible rapport. He is a skilled and hilarious entertainer with a penchant for being runover by cars PDM is driving.


DryHumpChamp - Moderator

DryHumpChamp is a cornerstone of the meme-community within the PoorDeadMan show having followed it since May 11th, 2017. He originally met PoorDeadMan after the lich with the itch trolled him LIVE in a Dead By Daylight match; DHC came to see who had trolled him and fell in love instantly. While he is extremely loyal he should NEVER be trusted to stir the koolaid. In his capacity as a Moderator he makes sure that trolls are allowed to heckle the clown but not the gallery.


HorrorHouse - Moderator

Having followed the show since December 9th, 2019 this soul is one that has the same affection for fear and horror as PDM himself. HorrorHouse is an experienced spooker, occasional fellow broadcaster, and moderator.


Solokaldaka - Moderator

There was a time when the #meme channel on discord solely belonged to the PoorDeadMan and Solokaldaka who, with their powers combined, shared more inappropriate and NSFW content than anyone in the community. He's known for his unique circle of friends, love of murderous chaos, and shenanigans. Now? Well, Solokaldaka uses his powers for good as a moderator of our community keeping the riff-raff from getting too close to the boss.


Flame_Illusion - Moderator

A memer of legendary proportions. No literally, this guy is like 200ft tall and can lift a house. Flame_illusion, or just Flame, is a moderator for the community with an incredible sense of humor and a long time friend of the show.


Chrundle1733 - Moderator

Chrundle is one of the show's most ardent supporters, an overall chill guy, and a great ride-or-die right hand man for video game madness. Not to mention his frequent financial support of the show! In his role as a moderator his advice to the PoorDeadMan has become near-essential and he's not the shy type-- willing to let his opinions on processes and improvements always be known. As a moderator he sets the tone for the chat and, through his leadership, shows how to not take things too personally (looking at you, Gritpitt).


Kaito - Moderator

Kaito is the Cult of the Dead & Sowing Discord's very first filipino moderator. This young fellow found the show through TikTok streams and has become a regular, a subscriber, and a loyal enforcer of the boss' rules and vibes. As a filipino Kaito has a great sense of humor about the show, himself, and the world-- never taking things too seriously but still able to maintain his cool and moderate the chat.


Mista_Crowbar - Moderator

Ah, you think PDM is your ally? You merely adopted the PDM. Mista_Crowbar was born in it, molded by it. He didn't see the sword until he was already a man, by then it was nothing to him but well deserved! A disembodied, floating, magical artifact with quite the accent! This fellow literally started watching the live shows before he was old enough to admit it but has since grown into a realboy™ and now moderates the community with the best of them. Indeed, it was his bright idea to make this getting-to-know-you volunteer page. What a winner!

STELLARIS

A Paradox Space Civilization 4x

Is Stellaris good?

In a galaxy far, far away... There is yet more space... The final frontier...In that grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there is only War...War never changes.Stellaris is a "4x" game so you'll oversee your galactic civilization's rise and fall. The developers have done a wonderful job of capturing the right vibes surrounding sci-fi, discovery, and the terror of the unknown. It is made in the style of Paradox's other games so there are improvements yet to be made and regular content updates to look forward to.I would recommend you play this game if you enjoy role playing, civilization style games, or sci-fi novels like Dune.This game is worth the money however you can often find it on discount here on steam or on other websites. You don't need to wait for a discount to buy this game.

How Often Do You Play?

Stellaris is one of those games that feels great to play, but for a lot of the audience it isn't as fun to watch. I've slowly been trying to incorporate more and more Stellaris into my regularly scheduled liveshows. Right now I livestream this game once a week, or once every other week. Your viewership encourages me to livestream this game more often.

You're Playing Today! May I Play With You?

If we're starting a new playthrough, sure! Otherwise? No.

Can I Play With You?

Yes, we're trying to organize a weekly Stellaris multiplayer game now! This would be a once-weekly match of Stellaris on the slowest speed. Interested?

How Do I Play With You?

🡆 First, join our Discord community.
🡆 Second, give yourself the Stellaris Notifications role in 🧩-build-ur-vibe.
🡆 Third, interact with us in #🛰-galaxy-guide.
🡆 Fourth, we will message you directly with an invitation.

DEAD DIE HERE

project zomboid roleplay campaign

Why are you bad at responding to chat?

Though I broadcast my part in the DDH sessions my focus is on embodying the character,
roleplaying, and providing S-Tier entertainment. I may not respond to you in my chatroom
as a result. If I miss your subscription, donation, tip, chat message, raid, or anything else
I will probably save my response/thank you until the end of my show.

What Is Dead Die Here (DDH)?

Dead Die Here is a weekly roleplaying campaign that takes place in the video game,
Project Zomboid. The campaign is hosted by PoorDeadMan and the Sowing Discord
community. The campaign is currently open to new participants.
The premise for Season 2 is that following the events of Project Zomboid's standard
lore an apocalypse cult find themselves in the aftermath of the very thing they predicted.
Future seasons of the campaign will feature alternative starting locations,
character guidelines, and more. Seasons are intended to last at least 30-90 in-game days.
Ending a season likely occurs when all of the original survivors have died OR the
remaining participants vote to end the season.

What is Season 2 about?

Dead Die Here: Season 2 takes place in an alternate version of 1993 Kentucky,
where the world is on the brink of collapse, and a doomsday cult known as
The Solar Creed struggles to survive. We follow the remnants of this fractured group
as they navigate the aftermath of an FBI/ATF raid, the sudden disappearance of
law enforcement, and the encroaching horrors that lurk beyond the compound’s gates.
The setting, Camp Elation, is nestled deep in the Kentucky wilderness, a self-sustaining
sanctuary ruled by the enigmatic Reverend Maynard. What was once a stronghold
of faith and devotion has now become a precarious refuge in a world spiraling into madness.
The outside world is failing—communications are breaking down, cities are burning,
and the dead refuse to stay dead.
The story follows the cult’s faithful, the doubters, and the desperate outsiders
who now call Camp Elation home. Some seek salvation, others power, and a few
simply want to survive. But as the walls of their sanctuary begin
to crumble, one question remains:
Was Reverend Maynard right all along?

Who is your character?

I am playing Nathan Rivers who goes by the moniker "Walking Crow".
You can learn more about him by clicking here.

Where can I learn even more?

between sessions and it must be approved by my team.
