[@aleet69]

I can't believe they kicked Ludwig off the podcast because he came out as non-binary Edit: I am sorry for misgendering Ludwig. I will never disrespect them like that again 🫡

[@yamhamj]

they* 😭😭

[@aleet69]

So true guys, sorry I misgendered Ludwig 😞

[@BryanRodriguez-vy6eb]

messed up

[@rebeccareagan6711]

My intro to the yard was the Wine About It ep, and something was said that made me think Slime was gay. So I watched my first ~100 episodes of The Yard under that assumption and just recently realized he isn’t.

[@ojasbali727]

Thank you for sharing, that is really funny

[@ricochico1144]

Lemme guess, was it the fact that Slime talked about looking into his friend's eyes during missionary ?

[@samt3412]

Did the Republican girl story not tip you off?

[@sleepybinch]

lying is so awesome

[@shayenecabral4726]

literally, I think hed kill him with his bare hands.

[@kathrynm2045]

1:20:17 I got sad listening to this because I wasn't really allowed to play video games as a kid and now I'm dating a gamer. We want to play together but I'm SO shit I can't play most games he does. We played it takes two and I had a great time. I think the point of the game is to be accessible and fun for gamers but mostly non-gamers who just want to spend time with their friends or partners

[@koala.symphony]

Yeah it's great for what it is, and there's not a ton of other games that fill that void of being "designed exclusively for two player co-op". There are other games that are more challenging or engaging, like Portal 2's co-op for example, but for a casual game to play with your partner it's still very nice. Not everything has to be a super-high skill ceiling competitive game (and I'm someone who does tend to prefer those usually). However the book with the mustache is super annoying so minus one star for him

[@litapd311]

i know this is 2 months late, but if you have a switch you guys should play mario wonder. it's super accessible for you, and it's still gonna be interesting enough for him (and i say that having played that as a hardcore, capital g gamer)

Them thinking slime died driving is so funny and relatable

[@luiji0129]

its unfortunate for lud that this was lowkey one of the best episodes in a moment

[@goaltf4]

must be a coincidence... hm...

[@samt3412]

I think it's because Ludwig is able to rein in Slime and Nick's madness, and a singular episode where the boundaries are removed becomes a lot funnier because it alone is incredibly unhinged

[@Versace_sheets]

​@@samt3412 proof ludwig, after 140 eps, still is bad at yes anding, which is his only job, and is still super fucking focused on "looking good for investors"

1:08:00 another detail of the ethically tragic iron farm - the main mechanic on why it works is the fact that there's a villager that's placed near a zombie, so it's always in a state of fear of being murdered (that's what spawns the golems).

Slime continues to be a psychopath, but gets away with it because he’s funny. Still a psychopath though like Jesus Christ this was awful

​@Pikwii you're weird to armchair diagnose him

[@haphapp7282]

@@Pikwiihe doesn’t get away with it because he’s funny, he gets away with it because it wasn’t malicious, and he very obviously already admitted fault and reconciled with them abt it on some level before coming here and joking about not being in the wrong. You gotta go outside more

[@IrreleventIcarus]

nick and aiden's outfit's are an absolute game-changer. Seriously, it's like they have tapped into some sort of mystical fashion frequency and emerged as the style champions. Their clothing pud ensemble isn't just nice-it's a pure symphony of style. It's so fly, it's practically defying gravity, I'm seriously in love with their outfits. slime could do better though :)

[@fighthaver2136]

Nick is wearing black sweats and a black hoodie with his own shows logo, cmon

"When it on a globe and you touch Chile" One of the most apt descriptions I've ever heard.

1:26:15 Nick, this hit me pretty hard because I completly agree and I hadn't realized that truth yet. After my dad died I found myself thinking about those old friends and actually reached out to them again. I think It's because they know me from that time, and they can offer that small window of perspective of how i used to be.
