I genuinely will never understand people who watch NL for the gameplay. The gameplay is merely a foil for the banter to bounce off of when he's not cooking from the ether.
Speaking personally, my first exposure to NL was in his Spelunky era, i didn't understand that game at all until i watched him play it and then it became one of my favorite games ever. He played it really well and it gave me a new way to think about video games in general. NL is a super smart and funny guy and when he *wants* to be, he's also cracked at video games. I get entertainment from all of it but i do sometimes miss the perpetually locked in version of NL.
weirdly the game does mater, the bacground music of balatro is like a knife in the worst part of my brain, and something watching about this scratches some kind of mental otch

While the Witcher 3 does have a permadeath mode, the suffering is different because you play in a way to never fail. While in this game the punishment is tiered checkpoints. Same vibes as dying in an older game and you haven’t saved in two hours
Lots of games have the punishment of losing all of your progress (that used to be the norm), but the difference in Sisyphus is having to watch yourself SLOWLY lose your progress over several long minutes and not being able to do anything about it, and having to manually run back down. I haven't played, but I'm sure it feels different than the other Foddy-likes.
holy shit opencourseware bit hits hard when you are trying to learn game dev out of a whim and you end up falling in a rabbit hole of math courses wtf is a multi variable calculus

Buddy this is an insane comment and clearly you never have seen him play elden ring. Or any game that he Gets tilted by chat. NL has got to be one or the most vindictive and salty streamers against chat . Yeah I'm yapping about nothing but I think he's immature with chat and not emotionally intelligent. Far from it. Am I complaining. Not really I love his banter. Is it emotionally intelligent. Yeah sometimes often not
I don't get that from this video,, when he also does acknowledge you don't need to be locked in all the time, sometimes it's okay to disassociate a bit [and not *always* suck it up but give in to your feelings or circumstances]. He's not too hardcore on his life perspective imo
He didn't play elden ring dlc at all, he even said something along the lines that he felt like he gaslit himself into thinking he actually enjoyed elden ring.
He relies too much on the security of the wall, also this game is just a cash grab fad game and is not actually good, the mental growth he is experiencing is purely a result of self realization from not playing a game that requires thinking, it’s not just a regular walking sim, it’s a forward walking sim
I can't tell if NL actually thinks this dogshit game is good or if he's just claiming it's good as a tactic to head off his chatters who are tired of seeing him play it, but I respect the hustle. He's basically found an infinite money glitch IRL.

if NL was born 100 years ago he'd be a cool French absurdist philosopher with a Wikipedia page showing him smoking a cigarette in black and white.
Instead we got modern Ryan, who is stoic on Disney Land rides. This says a lot about society.

they don't know about the golem, chat
Omg please I would pay money to read the chat for the first hour of a new run as people plead with him to stop

To be clear he shouldn't have called them that.. BUT it WAS a different time...

LOL as a psychiatrist hearing that someone is able to access twitch is WILD 😂
Bro his chat is so wrong. Sisyphus goes crazy along with every other game that is just a distraction while he banters for a few hours

Do people pleaser subconsciously sort out who is a person, and who to ignore trying to please?
