Nearsightedness when astigmatism walks in 🤯

[@damarziman]

I love watching mario party its like i have friends

[@damarziman]

Nah I guess it isn't actually

[@Ryhm14]

"They shouldn't have called it a mini stroke" got me cackling

[@pezamurai]

Biggest laugh of the vid.

[@spydar05]

I can't believe the lock-in to clutch the win after the blunder at 54:55. I basically watched a man fail to solve a baby's shape sorting cube, then immediately Nicolas Cage the Deceleration of Independence.

[@Wave_Commander]

1:25 actually me being super into 'Synecdoche, New York' like 4 years ago mostly because of YMS and then rewatching it this week with my wife and realizing, "Shit. Why was I so convinced that was my *favorite* movie?"

[@leonidas1749]

It's crazy that none of them made the connection that wiener is a synonym for penis because of the sausage and it's not just a funny coincidence that it's called that. The sausage looks like a penis. That's why it became a synonym for penis.

And in Vienna they are called Frankfurter… This world is fucked up

59:15 me when ryan nothernlion letourneau makes a funny joke that i don't initially understand until i think about it a little more

[@cr0wnl]

non-prescription glasses are stolen valor and i get offended if someone asks if mine are real

[@SomeFreakingCactus]

Have an astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness; can confirm. Means I don’t have to wear glasses if I don’t mind looking a bit like Igor from Young Frankenstein.

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIII]

Sorry to be an optometrist, but while that technically is possible in the specific case if you have insignificant astigmatism and farsightedness on one eye and very, very slight nearsightedness on the other, meaning you are close to 0 D on both eyes, it fortunately doesn't change the way you look in any way.

[@SomeFreakingCactus]

​@@IlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIII I'm like +4 -1 in both eyes. With the exception of some seeing double stuff, I can see things pretty well at any distance. Without my glasses, I have no problem reading street signs 40 yards away, and can still read this message as I type it out in my browser. When I focus, I can undo my eye astigmatism, making everything around me pretty blurry. Fun party trick.

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIII]

@@SomeFreakingCactus Ah I understand. You really should by all means wear glasses. The thing is that you're young (I'd estimate you being under 25 based on what you described). The lense in our eyes is what we use to see things at different ranges, it can stiffen and loosen up to create a more or less convex surface. With age it naturally stiffens, which is the reason almost everyone above the age of 45 needs reading glasses. This (un)fortunately also means that farsighted young people can "adapt" to distance by constantly tightening the acommodative muscles and by extension the lense. It's like walking around carrying mom's groceries all waken hours. This might seem great, but in almost all cases it leads to mental fatique, headaches and adaptive issues (to distances) earlier than expected. You can't train the acommodative muscles, it's the lense that stiffens. I had a patient who had gone through years of doctors visits for migraine; turned out he just needed glasses (~+3.75/-0.50). The undoing of your visual acuity is you relaxing the acommodative muscles, and it's a great party trick since not many people can do it, it's kind of like curling one's tongue - either it's natural or you don't even know how to begin.

[@SomeFreakingCactus]

@@IlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIII I'm actually over 25, but I'm happy to hear I have youthful energy in some department! And yes, I wear my glasses at all times - don't want to hurt my eyes, brain, or vision for now or the future for all of the reasons you describe. Still don't have a prism in my glasses, though - could that cause long-term damage?

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIII]

@@SomeFreakingCactus Prisms are for when you have something called tropia or in some cases high phorias, of which there are 4 different way they can manifest. It's pretty much for when you are cross-eyed or when one eyes points outwards, a muscular condition that will require prisms to be able to see with both eyes at all if it's severe enough. Not having prisms will never cause long-term damage, and if you have no problems with dizziness or diplopia (double images) as it is I'd say you're fine (but don't take my word for it, the examinations are done in person and take time for a reason, trust your local optometrist).

[@m3at_mortem717]

first time i ever played mario party i got the bonus star for most fortunate and most unfortunate and won by like 4 stars

[@andros1486]

36:55 Vienna is called Wien in German, thus both the people and sausages from there are called "Wiener" (or "Wieners" as you guys might say)

[@threemothsETC]

literally what the hell is happening in the first minute of this video

[@games-wz7sz]

With me what it does is the things that are affected by near sighted-ness are blurry and lack detail and the things that are affected by astigmatism are just lacking in depth or lights are scattering wierd

[@Mx_Never]

As someone with astigmatism and nearsightedness, they absolutely do not cancel out Title is wrong vs the quote btw

[@RatioHatesTheGame]

Theoretically the "worst video game in Mario Party" at 14:14 should only deprive the 4th player of an opportunity to choose 1 out of 60 times. Unless I'm missing something. I think it's just 1/5 * 1/4 * 1/3. Unless there's shenannigans.

[@FreckoJoel]

[@coldjam]

tbh i think that people who are truly honest about the media they like are way more based than someone who presents a disingenuous image of themselves because they're insecure and terrified that someone might think less of them. Kill the part of you that cringes and all that. you aint gonna catch my ass valuing social cohesion with pretentious judgmental dickheads over a genuine presentation of myself. so in short, if percy jackson is ur favorite book series, hell yeah
