[@slinnkys5405]

I have never heard Brian F sound more like a boomer than in this video

[@Amaling]

If by boomer you mean responsible adult sure. Everything he’s saying is true especially including exploding from the diet schedule Eskay was talking about. Definitely funny to watch but he’s on the money with every one of those elder wisdom things

[@Lcg_fgc]

Because he’s being more of a guidance counselor role in this convo. Eskay is clearly pouring out and and he’s just giving advice/guidance. Which can come off as boomer ish

[@pedroscoponi4905]

Ehn, the "old man" vibes are there but boomer is too much of a pejorative IMO. If you mean the talk and advice is stuff, that was all very good and normal 🤔

Fighting game player SHOCKS Overwatch player by ordering in fluent Hero Shooter.

[@semantik95]

The street fighter (or any fighting game equivalent) of the complicated ult tracking eskay is describing in overwatch is the read log. If you play fighting games long enough, you can remember the opponent's last 5 choices in a given defensive situation to predict what they will do on the 6th while executing a technically difficult combo. Hell, the longer the combo, the more time I have to go over the sequence of reads in my head so I can be up on the conditioning war compared to my opponent.

[@jkreincarnation]

Oh wow, this video was fun and stays but it takes a turn and gets really real in terms of Eskay telling Brian about her current life plans. Very cool to see Slam members stay friends lmfao. A Trash Talk with people outside of the fgc would be very interesting if you run out of or can't get certain people Brian!

Surprise Trash Talk is always welcome.

[@redfish9546]

That covid talk really was how it went. I unfortunately had it happen during my senior year of high school, so it kinda carried over to the first years of college and really just kinda lost the most important 4ish years of people's lives. It was crazy

The silent judgement from Eskay says worlds

[@Lexicon865]

"But I'm sure you do the same thing in Street Fighter" "No, no" Idk man I feel like we have to pay attention to when Gief has Level 3 or Rashid has Level 2 though lmao

[@WinterAyars]

Yeah but the game actually tells you that. You can just look. Imagine if you couldn't see your opponent's super meter and just had to guess whether Gief had level 3 yet. Now imagine if you're fighting Gief, Rashid, Mannon (you can't look at how many medals she has), JP, and Akuma all at once.

[@Amaling]

Yeah I can’t imagine being a trans woman pro streamer living in North Carolina, that was a part that she didn’t really bring up to Brian but it was heavily implied. Really glad that the Sajam Slam’s given her some high quality friends and she’s gonna move to a place with a bunch of nerdy trans people and lesbian bars and events soon

Watching the clips, I can confirm that Brian is an Iron Fist player. Ok it was actually really heartwarming watching Brian run around the map while talking to Eskay

[@Tomoka51]

As a fellow mid 20s queer woman from the east coast struggling to balance making ends meet, having a social life, and pursuing personal goals, i felt a lot of kinship with what Eskay was talking about, and really appreciate Brian's grace in letting her talk it out and offer his advice and perspective. Really wholesome video, good stuff both of you

[@matenator13]

Came for the Marvel Rivals gameplay stayed for the thoughtful conversation between Eskay and Unc

[@Cassapphic]

I was not expecting this to turn into "personal discussion about the philospohy of experiencing life and the state of the world" but I feel like a better person for having listened to it. Also Eskay seems to only be like one year odler than me based on this if my conversion to british school schedules is correct which is a bit terrifying to think about my brain still parses any internet person I don't personally speak to regularly as significantly older than me in part to block out parasocial relationships

[@oSTORMYo]

I really appreciate you keeping in that conversation with Eskay instead of just focusing on the gameplay and cutting it out like a lot of other people would. It was really interesting to hear and I hope you make more videos in this style!

[@eebbaa5560]

the good thing about iron fist is that you don’t need to aim and that he’s good against new players, which probably makes him like the best possible character that brian could have chosen if he doesn’t plan on playing this game in the future

[@ObeliskEye]

He truly chose the E. Honda of marvel rivals

This is legit so cute. I had never heard of Eskay before the Slam, but subbed to her afterwards. Seeing the continued friendship between Slam folks has been really cool, and its neat to see Brian in the learning spot this time around.

[@bazzjedimaster]

[@augustcross2305]

The chatters saying this is an unofficial Trash Talk episode are right, and I love it! All of the discussion about the creator's dilemma reminds me of Wolfe Glick and Competitive Pokemon. He was one of the first channels I saw that moved his "low effort" stuff to a second channel and then dedicated the main channel to his higher quality videos. Not too long ago, it even went a step further. Since most of the people watching his easy (but insightful) discussion and gameplay videos were players trying to improve, he moved it again to his Patreon, and now his Patreon is super geared towards people who want to get better at the VGC format.

I think one thing Brian might not get about staying in online school when u kno it's not worth it is they kinda entrapped u bc every quarter they would tellu classes were in person and then change it like 2 days before classes started so that all the students would like move to the city. A lot of schools didnt want anyone to drop a term bc of revenue and all that. I enrolled as class of 23 also and the cycle that the university kept us in was honestly a really terrible way to treat a bunch of ppl who are entering into adulthood for the first time
