[@luketatum]

maybe the true “men make table” was the friends we made along the way

[@zachsz9320]

if even urban dictionary doesn't have a definition of "men make table" it's probably something Shat invented and now i won't be able to sleep not knowing what it is

[@Q_YWRM]

If it's not something that only they would know it's most likely this. If it is, then it's completely understandable why he didn't show it and I'm surprised it's even in the video. A lot influencers will ask random (often drunk) women on the street what they bring to the table in a relationship. Saying men provide money and resources. Women often reply "I am the table", implying they are the prize. "Men make table" would be a counter to that but it's the first I've heard it. So most likely some culture war thing as "men built everything in this world" is a common phrase these inflammatory videos.

[@Twingytw]

I know Shat personally, if you want to know i can say in dm

[@TopHatBear]

men make table just refers to making the table at the end of a lounge match. it’s basically saying you’re honorable if you make table

[@waspsandwich6548]

​@Q_YWRM it might be xd random as well and he's just trying to build lore by making it secret.

[@Q_YWRM]

@@TopHatBear That makes sense, but why DM it and why "It's something I cannot share publicly". That makes it sound like it's bad thing. I guess it could be an "if you know, you know" type situation but I don't really care.

[@Zogef1996]

[@ArcTriforce]

Thank you! I always wondered why you never brought inkling boy back, but here he is! I ended up working on a combo of my own, inspired by that video you made. Let me introduce you to Inkling boy/City tripper. a good middle-ground between speed and mini-turbo! If you ever feel like it, I'd love feedback :)

[@Shortcat321]

Thanks for the $$ and I'll give you a little review of your combo. It has nearly the same stats as yoshi teddy buggy, so it obviously is good! Slightly more water speed at the cost of air speed and antigravity speed, so I wouldn't say it's better, but I think it looks better :)

It's so cool so see how much you've improved on PPC since wave 6 first dropped, watching it go from a track you had no knowledge of to you slowly learning the best lines and shortcuts to it becoming one of your best tracks, but i guess the most important part of that is track knowledge

[@algodoshi12]

hey! just got an idea for a video: basically you play local multiplayer, grab another controller, remove the bots, toggle on auto steering and auto accelerate on the 2nd player, don't touch the 2nd player at all and try to lap them i actually tried this once and it's pretty fun! although it's extremely challenging.

Challenge ideas: 1. Try to lap someone (that's not trolling) 2. Blind Mario Kart and you have to drive via audio cues only (you can use smart steering ofc) 3. Can I win without items PART 2!!! (I know you've improved dramatically since the first time you attempted this challenge, so you can wall dodge for red shells/ minimize the impact of a blue shell by purposefully tripping using a high invincibility combo) 4. Can I win with only 1 item!
