@@MCY112 The allegory of the cave is a popular one I thought. I’ve had multiple teachers and professors independently mention it throughout high school and college.
it's so shocking to me that slime was the only one who knew about the tumblr ball pit. the concepts of that man and the infamous blogging website tumblr are so separate in my brain
i didnt call him a normie i just never had thought of gamer groups like the smash community as the same type of nerd as fandoms on tumblr. weird that you wanted to defend that for him lol
I thought they were gonna do bro vs bro and Tommy said ARMS as one of the games he wanted ,which would be funny as fuck to watch even if ARMS is kinda shit.
straight up, there is no good business reason for youtube not to acquire Otto's extension and then literally hire Otto into youtube gaming. When they talk about "googlyness" at their company, Otto is literally exactly what they have in mind.

I listen to this on Spotify at work to make Wednesday less shitty. And it always makes me laugh. The final five minutes when you were talking about in my opinion the golden age of speedrunning was a fun throwback. Since a lot of us don’t even look at speedrunning anymore. I remember watching Narcissa do that 18:10 live and everyone going off in chat. A long with classic Agdq 2013. It’s awesome hearing all of you guys were around for that. Also I loved Slime’s reference to YSG. The man was a legend. Thanks for reminding me of that time which is almost 10 years ago now. Also Aidan is 100% right about that melee video Narcissa released back then. I think it was around the time the original smash doc came out getting us all into melee.
Speedrunning is as big as ever. We got SummoningSalt, Karl Jobst, Ez Speezy, Simply, SmallAnt, Minecraft runs, SM64 Twitch craze, trackmania to name a few. Will admit that era of runs was perfect in niche and size.

Genuinely each episode of these pods are great. However I fully decided this was the best one so far when slime managed to make Nick walk off due to that epic wet ripper.
Not only is Adien right about Tana Mongoose, but she has also said very racist things and been discriminatory aside from saying the n word multiple times publicly
If Ludwig wants to do that kind of convention and not be a tanacon PLEASE invest on good security and a big venue, that was one of the biggest things. But ngl I would trust Slime wouldn't let him fuck up like that

serious answer to aidens thoughts around 4:40, I think the important thing is the scope at which they can conceive of the concept of happiness. Overall I think more people made it to a higher percentage of happiness, but the max happy you could be was much much lower. These days the ceiling for happiness is so much higher, so in comparison a life at 50% seems depressing, even though you are actually happier than the happiest of people back in the day. We tend to take for granted the simple joys of life because there is always more to be gained, whereas before it was much easier to enjoy what you had because it was all you had. While generally the "back in my day" arguments dont work for me, the appreciation for what you have is something that I think has been lost to some extent and I think we as a society would benefit from taking some time to appreciate things like friends, family, and hobbies a little more.
According to some psychological studies done at Harvard, happiness in of itself did not become much of a pursuit until survival was a guarantee. So yeah, we’re happier than the people from 400 years ago, but we also have a lot more freedom to think about it and pursue joy.
Starting your paragraph with the vague Harvard provenance immediately makes me think you made this up. Regardless, your point doesn’t even mean that we’re happier now. Take your pseudo-headass back to Twitter where you can get away with these unintelligible snippets of shite.

Now that BTS is gone, we can say : It WAS Ludwig's fault.
Ludwig Gorannson is who Lud’s thinking of. And yea he has like Oscar’s and Grammy’s for composing and stuff. Super talented
W H OMEGALUL
This is the perfect podcast to listen to whilst swimming in a ball pit in the middle of a convention.
The chapter of Slimes ass-tear being called “slime why would you do this” is so fucking funny
nick and ludwigs vibe when they handshake is the highlight of every ep

the only time I'm proud to be part of the 10% is when I'm watching The Yard
Same 🥺
Slime referenced the history of Japan by bill wurtz and it made my brain factory reset lmao
“Open the borders, stop having them be closed”
Aiden described a real essay I bullshitted in a college class, this is a weird glitch in the simulation
The thought of Atrioc saying uppies was so funny that I was legit crashed when Lud admitted it was him saying it
I like this guy, hope he doesn't get banned from streaming on his 3rd day
Ngl nicks hoodie looks so fkn cosy and chill and sick design.

Thursday is my favorite day of the work week, nothing better than getting paid to be a Yardigan
The yard shouting out the speedrun OGs Sig and Narcissa is crazy. Just goes to show how they grew up on the same content I did
Can't wait to watch and tell Aimen about this
Yeah DM him on twitter
slime recognizing wind waker speedruns makes me :)
i love Ludwig’s derpy eyes in the thumbnail lmao
Excited to eat lunch while watching and the boys talk about dog poop for the first 5 minutes of the Pod...

Good to see Lud's crooked eyes make a callback in the thumbnail! Now we just need a return of shooter get down!
No mental health day from churning the butter. The family was on the line 🤣🤣

History of Japan
Best one liner from the episode
it might be cringe but when Nick said he refuses to get rid of his cs knife... i felt that.
Nick with the Spyro comment! Love it

Was looking for this
I enjoy the subtle edit of Ludwig's eyes in the thumbnail
2nd funniest Pod so far boys good stuff
I thought I got scammed off the intro bit but it was just delayed this time. I love the intro bits so much
