The noodle crib bit is genuine standup worthy for me

[@Jcheatsludanto]

Literally almost perfect set up and punchline

[@RefugeeJon]

NL making slurping noises while talking about the nasal aspirator made me feel a visceral fear I didn't know was possible.

[@YTDaimera]

The hardwood response to the carpets question is way funnier on way more levels than it ought to be.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person thinking this. It was so quietly genius.

[@mrrp405]

So up for another episode where NL complains about his tea being too hot I’m loving it

[@Swingel]

He just needs to start to microwave his coldbrews

[@armed_but_blind2768]

[@thelegendbushido]

The anticipation of waiting for the tea to reach the right temperature is what keeps me watching

[@rubemevangelista3868]

I never knew I needed a dude from the other side of the continent just chatting about every single random aspect of the daily life, I could listen for hou- (notices the amount of VS videos I watched) welp I already did

[@marzgamingmaster]

I remember the first time I heard about D box, there was just an ad in the theater that read "Experiance the D!" And we lost our minds laughing at it.

[@Drekromancer]

NL pogging over the insane mucus haul from his 2-year-old daughter's sinuses had me rolling

[@Pybro1]

I have a mug like that. It keeps my water cold, or keeps my tea or whatever else I'm drinking warm and still drinkable for up to 6 hours, and cold for 8. Also been watching your videos for a long time NL, keep it up man!

[@darty4654]

studying at the library w NL as background noise on my earphones and 42:29 scared the shit outta me rip ear users, still pog'd tho

[@myspicyclips6402]

“ear users” lol

[@Birrihappyface]

“Statement” *Pentagram goes off* “Opposite of statement” Truly, today we Pog.

[@Drekromancer]

The comedic timing this episode was unreal. "There's a chicken." _Pentagram goes off_ "MY CHICKEN!"

[@Durzaka]

The conversation about Marvel shows vs. Star Wars shows at about 10:00 is actually pretty easy to explain. Star Wars has an interesting universe. You want to see more stories that take place in it in general. Because its not our world. Marvel does not have an interesting universe. The day to day is basically our world plus magic BS. You want to see more shit get blown up, and giant cosmic beings come and wreck shit because its cool. 2 very different situations to be in.

[@Mikk528]

Hey NL the game is Vampire Survivors not Vampire GetEatenByBats45sBeforeVictory. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thermos that cools tea to drinkable and holds it there... Take the efficient thermos you have now, add inside a container for cold liquid. They arrive at equilibrium somewhere in middle and stay at that for long time. And soon someone will point out a better material for the inside heatsink. Make it replacable for next cup. Add a heat sensitive colour strip so you know when its good to use again.

[@clayto5494]

Not only is Dome Keeper great, I want more of it

[@ItsLys0620]

Anyone else wish that he finished mon bazou? Vampire survivors reminded me of it since those were the two he was playing at the beginning of the year

[@TheLoneK1tty]

This guy complains about pentagram removing his drops, while appearing to actively avoid gems. 10/10

Egg talking about his preferred strategy for a chess skill tree that only exists in his head

[@Drekromancer]

He does this so well. He'll invent a silly idea, and then he'll flesh it out instantly in such lifelike detail that I'm hooked. Like, I legit want to play this game now.

[@emerz3530]

"Americans are very nice... To your face" spoken like a true Canadian white man lol, never change NL

[@BalancedEarth]

I swear I need to meet the NL superfan that can instantly know an old bit from a new one. Like I don't know if half the time NL is recycling an old joke from an old binding of Isaac afterbirth episode 😹

[@heidihawthorne]

Honestly, most of the time no. When I first started watching in 2015 it was a lot of 90s/2000s hip hop lyrics which still happen but not as frequently. Also, he used to comment on his gameplay a lot more. Enelle stays pretty on topic with current references. I've heard some of the same stories a few times through the years but, truly, the recycling is minimal.

[@heidihawthorne]

I watch NL everyday and have a strong feeling he would recommend I have better time management skills.

[@greenleaf44]

@Northerlion Ember mugs are awesome, I use it every day. It does exactly what you want. It cools to the set temperature, then maintains. The trick is to put the charging coaster on your desk, because then it never runs out of battery

[@corwyntalia]

You don't want Marvel movies that are built on the mundane. because we already live in the mundane human world that marvel uses as a base. Sci-fi & fantasy is like, "Janitor Bob runs the maintenance facility in the jedi temple, he's a failed jedi because his force ability is crap, he can only use it to 'talk' to droids" Yeah, show me that guy using his fantastic powers in a way with a few shenanigans.

[@chammy2812]

NL, I am not sure you will see this, but AlphaZero team wrote a paper with different rules for Chess, the 2 move wherever pawn is a variant they called Torpedo, it lead to a lot more decisive games!

[@Drekromancer]

That sounds dope as hell. Do you have a link?

Man people out here in chat straight up lying about the garlic. Garlic is good early game but it doesn't scale well. The whip is what'll do ya for healing.

Is the title a reference to the 1994 Nine Inch Nails hit breakthrough song "Closer?" Because that's how I read it.

[@zazzykinz]

That's exactly how I read it too

[@Swnkmstr]

Gotta spec out that greed so you can pay for everything else faster. At least that was my starting out strat lol

[@hamsmcham3238]

@20:40 I feel the same way living in Tokyo, but I think it's a bit sensory overload is why people don't seem nice... It's too much stuff to pay attention to, along with the hour + cramped commute, you just don't have the bandwidth...

Hey NL not sure if you read comments often but you should check out rogue genesia it's a super fun game like vampire survivors I think you'd enjoy a lot

[@mcmiscellaneous4706]

I second this! While the game is a little lacking in content due to it’s EASY status, it is SO good

[@Blaurot]

He doesnt really read comments anymore (thank the backseaters) but tweeting gives you a better chance

I dont know if someone already said this or if you will see this but they have a mug where you set the temperature and it stays there through an app on your phone

She was fine but it was interesting to see the roles reversed. I never got mad about her worrying about me after that day

[@sirVlinky]

WOAH WOAH WOAH. What do you have against saskatoon?! I LIVE HERE DAMNIT. jk, i feel you NL

[@Gorbgorbenson]

Honestly, I dont think it's super hypocritical to want big scale stories in Marvel, but small scale ones in Star Wars. Star Wars has an unknown world, so world building stories are much more interesting than in Marvel where it's the same world, but you have superheroes and villains terrorizing everything.

[@maogger1]

If you preheat your mug, it will keep the ideal temperature for longer. You can do this by either filling it with boiling water for a few minutes before adding your drink, or just using a microwave.

[@AlexM86]

For those who are thinking of visiting Barcelona, don't. It has the biggest crime surge it's ever had. I'm from Spain and we're actually terrified of going there rn. Don't get me wrong the city is beautiful and there's a lot of cultural hotspots but yikes. The likelihood of getting robbed or stabbed is not low.

Lmao he took pentagram early, let's see how It goes

[@Kevfactor]

I don't think it's that bad if you rush to get it to like level 6 so it doesn't delete everything. End game it's a good alternative to the magnet/bottle combo :)

[@loggi7605]

@@Kevfactor endgame Is good, but i think it's a detriment early on. If i feel like It i leave a weapon slot open and grab It last.

[@Kevfactor]

@@loggi7605 I just did a clear witha character that does it. I was thinking more along those lines. It's doable but does eat so me chests :)

[@TheSquareOnes]

I think it's fine to grab basically as early as you want but riskier if you don't already have the crown, since obviously you want to be guaranteed to have the ult waiting for you at the end of the slog and the increased experience gain will off-set the downsides in the meantime. It's surprisingly realistic to win after taking pentagram in the first few minutes though, you just need to know what you're doing (which NL clearly didn't, all those instances of him sprinting directly away from green gems just a few feet away will haunt my nightmares tonight).

not gunna lie.... the bit rate on these vids is dogshit. It would behoove you to record these outside of twitch at a higher bitrate and resolution so that when they are compressed down to 1080 they have a little bit more info. atleast I think thats how that works.
