There was a moment recently in A Difficult Game About Climbing where NL asked for help on a certain section. And chat... chat remembered. Amidst the blaze of comments and emotes, occasionally the legendary phrase showed up.
i was literally just laughing to myself last night remembering the phrase "imagine you're the center of a protractor" so for it to be back like this is wonderful timing.
I just want to say thank you librarian! You’ve made this community so much better with your edits. I really appreciate all the work you put into this content for all us eggheads to enjoy 💕
@@natefroggy3626 Look at the thumbnail again, put that circle in the center of the player character. That is the center of the protractor the chatter was talking about. The sword is the angles of degree of the protractor. The sword moves around you, not you around it. That's why you're incorrect. If what you said had any truth that would mean your body center of mass is in your arms which is obviously not true.
@@greenoftreeblackofblue6625 Well it depends on the scenario. When nothing is going on, the body is the center of the protractor, with sword rotating around, youre right. But when he uses it as a pole vault, the end of the sword is now the fixed point, with the body rotating around.
To this day I have no idea how he had so much trouble with "a slow fall slips less". It makes perfect sense to me. He's yapping about how there's no nouns in the sentence brother what the fuck do you think the third word is there
I think it's because it didn't end up resulting in a solution to that specific area for him - Just running off with the sword ahead was way more consistent, it seemed like he generally understood the idea but didn't get why that would be helpful in that specific situation because the pole vaulting method didn't seem to be working well
@@TheEnecca If you're sitting on top of the sword, if you move the sword quickly it slips on the ground, so if you want to vault across something it's best to do it slowly so that the sword stays close to the edge that you were vaulting off of Except it didn't have anything to do with that part of the game because you can just run off and grab the other side much easier lol
NL and the Tip of the sword are both centres of protractors, each becoming the real protractor when being leveraged, and fading into obscurity when in the air.
FrostyJack1 doesn't get enough credit for "You are the center of a protractor" actually being really good advice for how to think about the physics in this tbh
wadda hell I just understood what "a slow fall slips less" means. Thanks for the reupload my brain expanded. Do you see how at 6:16 for example the character is moving back and forth? that's not from NL pressing the movement buttons. It's because he's in the ice level and he's swinging the sword back and forth which pushes him in the opposite direction. if he quickly swung the sword down from vertical to grab the other side, he'd slip in the opposite direction further away and probably not reach. Whereas lowering the sword slowly to horizontal as he sends it, a "slow fall" of the sword, he'd slip less.
@@deathwindae8277 when you pole vault, if you full send the vault, your sword will slip out from under you. Compared to slowly inching through the arc, the pivot point will not move.
@@rxpe I don't think that's it, since the solution for that segment isn't vaulting. But maybe it is because the next time you get there you can vault.
If you think really deeply (and ideally smoke a lot of weed), “you’re the center of a protractor” is a really interesting outlook on life on how our energy and relationships extend outwards
genuinely cant watch this game because i thought i was hallucinating repeatdly hearing my heapdhones say "power off/power on" because of the sound effect of the sword. it's like hearing your alarm in a movie, im pulled out of whatevers happening lol
I remember watching this live and just absolutely losing my mind over how he refused to use any of the game's hints or tutorial test. Now I watch streams purely to see chat mald over stuff like this.

Shoutouts to the other meme originating from this stream:
"A slow fall slips less"
Back when we used BOP instead of COCKA for the horniness
the slow blade penetrates the shield.......
4 minute long credits with the full Sips and NL twitch sings duet is such a blessing
how you fi wamandnaaan a you villa
My dog helps me find my math tools.
Me: "You are the scenter of a protractor."

timestamp has where the message is sent and then gets read shortly after but its a really funny segment
Thank you. You are the center of a library.
You are a curator and an artist
Ending karaoke bit my beloved
A slow fall Sips less
underrated part of the song: when NL goes ridiculously low because he cant get high enough, but thats right when the song gets way lower
I was about to say i can tell this is vintage NL because his head is much bigger
Praise the peloton's head shrinking properties
chat is this real?

I think he was being very clear he was indeed the center of a protactor.
The end of the sword was the center of the protractor

Tetris is malding rn
that outro is so good thanks librarian i love you (parasocially)
Bro is rummaging through the archives, I almost forgot about this bit
Still one of my favourite classic lines to just drop on people who can't possibly get the reference.
3:37 THE SLOW BLADE PENETRATES THE DRAGON.
A SLOW FALL SLIPS LESS
the second i saw the dragon i was like "yeah librarian is probably about this"
Clock’s still running on his second attempt
i quote "we have reached the prodigious length of 3" all the time
I quoted this without remembering the origin yesterday to my brother and was stuck thinking where the hell it came from
Chapter 2: You are the center of a protractor has been my favorite book of all times since 1988.
7:25 exactly for the infamous "@Northernlion you are the center of a protractor pls"
I had bought the game after that center of the protractor bit. He always gets me.
this game was my furry awakening
SPH dragon
Looked at Wikipedia's disambiguation for "SPH", pretty easy to spot which one you meant when I saw it. 🤣
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Clueless
she got that SPH if you know what I mean 😏 (Sphingomyelin)
omg sips absolutely sent me
He used to say "you're not wrong" a lot more back then
so true so true
everyone's wrong nowadays.... really makes you think
Am I the center of a protractor or am I poop in the turlet

nl has a viewer base of almost entirely goblins that live under various bridges except for one dude
This is how I learn that my brain works like NL's because "slow fall slips less" makes no fucking sense
the most legendary chat in my heart
outro goes crazy on this one
The twitch sings bit kills me, sips would love old sips 🥺

legendary outro as usual librarian.
Omg the ragequit lol
Edit: nope the karaoke is so damn goood
he really is tho
NLs vocal quality really only makes him suitable for like, REM covers. Maybe They Might Be Giants as well.
Him refusing to learn anything and rage quitting the game was so funny
Nl played that game like someone with extreme anxiety on speed
Now you need the moment NL realized that theres an item in Luck Be Landlord called Protractor.
holy shit sips' shaggy is immaculate

For half a sec there I thought he returned to this game for some reason lol

unhinged description
who up being the center of a protractor
11:36 this is also hilarious...
I need a shirt that says "You're the center of your own protractor"
awesome outro
Sips singing is the best part
It’s crazy how having a kid ages you

Best ending ever :D
bearer slip slip less
god i wish that were me
Classic NL sales technique
Damn mean NL rocks but kind NL is goated
Hey that initial length was big enough, it was average at least.
I can’t believe how bad he is at this and how stupid chat is, this is worse than inscription
Nvm he started to figure it o it by the end
Nvm he somehow lost it by the end
Ohhhh I was wondering how he fixed his sub banner but its just old as shit
the game is sooo cute
