This video is basically 45 minutes of banter with about 6 minutes of Balatro playing in it. It's the most banter filled video of NL's I've ever seen. I guess being away for a while he built up two weeks worth of banter and is letting it all out at once. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Just an observation.
25 minutes in and it feels like NL is only starting to believe in the power of discards. and I'm still shocked he didn't pair the to do list asking for a straight flush with four fingers, what a time to realise that interest matters.
'For Breakfast every morning, I tried to make sure I set myself up for success. Egg Fried Riced. 2 halved Tomatoes.... 4 Coke Zeroes' EGG REALLY THOUGHT HE COULD SNEAK IN 4 COKE ZEROES BY 9 AM AND NOT SOUND CRAZY??
The first two minutes of this are a piece of art. Pivots seamlessly from talking about weirdos in chat into being the chat for the normal guys at the Dole plantation.
@@JakeFish5058because even if you do have 12 packets of sugar in your coffee that's still less sugar than the average soda. A packet of sugar like what are at restaurants or something are about 4 grams. That's 48 grams of sugar if you have 12, a 20oz bottle of coke has 68 grams of sugar.
I'm convinced that the ice issue is because so many people rely on the attendant at the drive through who is told to fill the cup with ice and people have normalized that
Bro coming to terms yet again with the fact that his job is to partake of surrogate activities to provide a knowledge product for others to partake of as a surrogate activity
I knew I wasn't the only one to think that! Bro went on Disney cruises 5 times this year and plays video game for a living. Tf do you still have to complain about?
NL focusing on the lvl 2 flush instead of going for a lvl 2 straight that also has the +15 mult joker for straights that wouldve given him a 21x multiplier that wouldve saved the run is what i live for
bro just said he doesn't get waking up at 6am to go surfing, when he wakes up at 6am to ride a bike nowhere
One must imagine NL happy
2:11 Me eating the Dole pineapple ice cream but I shake my head to let people know that I disagree with the actions of the Dole corporation
+2
classic fencesitting lmao
+2
NL coming to terms with his streamer life like a character from Severance realizing they're going to have to work forever is a tragic sight
+2
It's all a skit but with a small amount of sincerity; dont think so deep about it lmao
He's more than welcome to switch with me if he likes.
Best streamer but sometimes just stfu and play the games baldy.
@@deetsitmeisterjd man needs to start a podcast, at least I know what I'm signing for with that one.
Apply your comment to your comment @@sainttrish7544
this is the northernlion stand up comedy episode he's not even pretending to play the game pog
It's been 15 minutes and he's still on ante 1. We are so back.
The funniest thing is that it was the fastest ante in the video
@@FranXiTlol I was about to say, you‘re in for a ride then…
He could run a breakfast joint with all that waffling.
15 seconds in and the Egg already scrambled me; my ass was trying to figure out why he was FaceTiming strangers
I'm pumped for Balatro, but NL forgot how to play and narrate at the same time!
With all the love for the egg, I'm 10 minutes in and it seems more like he's just forgotten to play in general 😂
Yeah I didn’t stay for the gameplay. 😂
It was like watching a slideshow your aunt put together after her holiday, but without the slides to distract you from the neverending rambling.
@@CorgiBum That's exactly what it felt like
The banter is top tier
Damn that's weird, there's video game footage in the background of this podcast
Welcome back. Thanks for posting a 50 minute stun lock to ease us back into our addiction.
I can't believe i just watched a 51 minute ad for Coke Zero. I am indeed new here if this is a regular thing
Things I enjoyed most during the stream:
1. The absolute gold standard top tier +2 farming vacation banter
2. Seeing NL play Balatro again
hey i just watched the frost prime video
Amazing job on this, LocalThunk.
Play is a strong word in this case but I agree
Top tier banter, NL needs to go on vacation more often
Banter +2
Gameplay -2
Was it worth the cost?
@@isaacbee1Yes.
If you are interested in this game, you have come to the wrong video 😂
Even the counting speed being at 1x is excruciating.
I am fully engaged.
Bro has been yappin for half of the video lmao
You know NL is back when he says there’s no chance of a straight flush and then draws the final card two turns later.
Yea that’s to funny
Local streamer claims to have touched grass, is doubted by everyone
What an absolutely insane bit to start a video with.
I fuckin love this man lmfao
My man came back from Hawaii with all the bits locked and loaded. Insane stunlocks, pogged up for more stand-up comedy.

Bro, this is a podcast.
and i am here for it brother
Balatro is backkkk
NL after being away from the gas leak in his house for 2 weeks made him sane again
This man is a professional at yappology.
God-tier banter this episode he's so back
“would you like some Balatro with your banter?”
We missed NL's stories and ranting but until the next YT video we will also miss his gameplay
He does gameplay? I thought this was a podcast
25 minutes in and it feels like NL is only starting to believe in the power of discards. and I'm still shocked he didn't pair the to do list asking for a straight flush with four fingers, what a time to realise that interest matters.
not like he played the game that long before the evolution, maybe eight minutes of game played by that point
'For Breakfast every morning, I tried to make sure I set myself up for success. Egg Fried Riced. 2 halved Tomatoes.... 4 Coke Zeroes'
EGG REALLY THOUGHT HE COULD SNEAK IN 4 COKE ZEROES BY 9 AM AND NOT SOUND CRAZY??
Me, while drinking my black coffee: "Drink whatever the fuck you want brother".
knew there needed to be a someone who likes the bananas, but i didn't know they'd think everyone likes the banana
You're the weird one if you don't like bananas.
That coffee rant was S tier.
Seeing him pop off in defense of madonna lets me know that we are so back
and that's the way it should be
never been so pogged up to watch a man lose his life savings
being away from the computer has made him insane
The first two minutes of this are a piece of art. Pivots seamlessly from talking about weirdos in chat into being the chat for the normal guys at the Dole plantation.
I'm addicted to this game thanks to you NL, glad to see you playing it again
"playing"
Blud ain't playing shit 😂😂
He's back with more psychotic takes than ever
There's nothing like spending time with your family, eating pineapple ice cream and beating Slay the Spire Ascension 20
Rant at 44:30 broke me. “Oppenheimers of molecular gastronomy” has got to be my fav quote
BALATRO more like BANTERO
44:10 im pretty sure "bubblegum" flavour is a fully created flavour.
Coffee is delicious. I have to drink decaf because I get panic attacks when I consume caffeine.
so what ive learned is this man really loves coke zero. like AT LEAST 5% of the ranting was pure coke zero banter.
The intro is what makes NL great. A guy who does a job well.
50% Balatro 50% Psychotic takes
50% Balatro is incredibly generous
Waiting for you to make a conherent decision in the game 😂
"If you like ice so much, why don't you marry it?" I CAN'T! I don't use ice but holy shit, we do be icin' shit over here.
You can tell he didn't talk to a lot of people on vacay because my man is talkative in this one
Not even 5 minutes in yet and I could give a damn about this game. I’m here for the banter and NL delivers
Agreed! Banter is king and we are eating good with post vacation NL
Dude the diet soda for breakfast rant might be an all-timer
That first ante took longer than it took Ryan to cure his norovirus..
If you want soda for breakfast go for it, but saying that's the same as coffee is an insane take
Why?
@@JakeFish5058because even if you do have 12 packets of sugar in your coffee that's still less sugar than the average soda. A packet of sugar like what are at restaurants or something are about 4 grams. That's 48 grams of sugar if you have 12, a 20oz bottle of coke has 68 grams of sugar.
WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK
Me: excited to see more Balatro
Also me: reads comments section first 💀
I get called euro at the diner quite frequently for requesting water no ice
34:15. Four coke zeroes. Mans on fire
"The Hangover just came out." is one of the most NL things ever said.
Commenting for the algorithm - psyched for Balatro's return!
Damn NL goes on vacation and decide to start a podcast 🔥🔥 top tier banter
Please take more vacations if you come back with this much hot material every time.
I will not have mercy. I have been suffering while you have been relishing life. I've been having egg withdrawals
It's not acceptable to drink soda _or_ an energy drink in the morning.
Also, I don't drink coffee at all.
Let's take care of our bodies people
I’ve never been more pogged to see a game return
The man has lost his mind. One round per ten minutes, and refuses to fill up the joker slots, instead keeps buying planets 😂
I'm convinced that the ice issue is because so many people rely on the attendant at the drive through who is told to fill the cup with ice and people have normalized that
Bro coming to terms yet again with the fact that his job is to partake of surrogate activities to provide a knowledge product for others to partake of as a surrogate activity
For a man who claims to dislike unnecessary storytelling in games, he sure can yap about nothing for an hour rather than playing the game
19:45
I drink black coffee every morning, but im not a stranger to the occasional morning monster. Like yo, if you want a soda you can have a soda
The take on how coffee with a little milk and sugar is nearly equivalent to a Coke Zero is insane
i mean, yea lets normalize a full monster drink in the morning like the true american way
Love you NL, your content has brought and continues to bring me joy. Hope you can find a way to better balance your work and normal life ❤
First 3 minutes were a trip
Can someone please link me the time when he actually plays the game?
I’ve been waiting…. I wish it came out sooner, I don’t know how much we can milk the demo, but I will be watching every episode.
I too am on the brink of insanity. Great to see I'm not alone here, NL.
Oh, this was a filler episode, not main arc. Noted.
I drink black coffee with nothing in it. I feel morally superior now.
Let’s gooooo so excited for balatro to come back
Dole factory land acknowledgment
NL is so real for stanning for Madonna’s best album, 2005’s CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR.
Finally!! Some variety!!!! I have been waiting for two weeks :D And I am early too! Hope you are well Ryan
Man I was so excited to see this game was back. Damn you NL and your interesting vacation anecdotes
Me when the bald man plays card game roguelike while talking about every possible thing there is to talk about that I have no understanding of: :)
after playing balatro at 4x game speed seeing NL forgetting everything and having a toddlers level of knowledge for balatro hits me hard
I'm trying to fall asleep to this video but the banter is too stimulating
This was a great episode to play on the side while eating lunch
This has been the most NL episode ever
I need this for a mid afternoon nap
This man is really complaining about having to come back from his vacation in Hawaii to his job playing videogames smh lmao
I knew I wasn't the only one to think that! Bro went on Disney cruises 5 times this year and plays video game for a living. Tf do you still have to complain about?
The banter is life changing
Do not fret NL I've been having a great time with the YT content
Fellas, we are so back
NL focusing on the lvl 2 flush instead of going for a lvl 2 straight that also has the +15 mult joker for straights that wouldve given him a 21x multiplier that wouldve saved the run is what i live for
Holy pog rumors of the demise were greatly exaggerated
I too thought I'd never heard a Madonna song, but I checked out "ray of light" just now and I have heard it.
coffee with ANYTHING in it = soda is so fucking funny
It do be hittin as soon as you’re fine
IT'S BACK, BABY!
Words cannot express how much I have missed this wonderful egg.
BALATRO IS BACK BAYBEEEE GET POGGED
Playing this on fast mode.. this hurts
We are so back
