damn, the man cut us off right before the boss fight. He is playing us like cable television.

[@ogix123]

The real purgatory is NL saying “that’s too much wedge. That’s not enough wedge” until the end of time.

[@DoomOrb]

"he's pissin' again"

Golf + roguelite. It's the ultimate NL game.

Ahhh so cool to see NL play a game I worked on! (I did the music) Used to watch a ton of his Isaac runs back in the day but I kinda fell off as work stuff got busier. Glad to see he’s still thriving.

Pog dude. This music is 🔥

You did absolutely great! I really love it, it feels very heroic and pushes ya forward. Inspiring but not overwhelming. Damn well done.

[@TinPrince]

The music was my favourite part of this video! Major props, I can imagine playing it while I'm writing or something chill.

[@LackOfHarmony]

I need to say this: Thank you, NL, for these long episodes. I know they don’t fit into the current KZbin algorithm, but I love long episodes. 💙

I have never seen the egg so confident and so owned by his hubris. It's great.

Pretty sure that NL's camera bugging out at the very beginning is my sleep paralysis demon... EDIT: Loved NL's Scottish accent

If I had a nickel for every time someone released a golfing roguelike that nl played I'd have two nickels, but it's weird that it's happened twice

[@Blackobluna]

Scoping out the first hole was definitely a missed "I'm in Hell" opportunity

[@ryannixon4138]

The theme when you meet the Scotsman is perfection. It blends groovy 8bit, Scottish, and spooky Halloween music perfectly.

[@DrBob66]

I wonder why the game uses a timing based power gauge if you can just cancel out of it? it seems annoying to have to guess what power will work, see where its going to land, and then just undo and try again over and over?

[@SikeiOK]

felt the same way about the tutorial tbh. It makes you play a half hole and then you gotta do it again for real, whats the point. also who needs 15mins of tutorial its just basic golf, aim and shoot lol

[@justinsaunders110]

Otherwise it’s basically a strategy game which doesn’t seem to be what they’re going for. I think they shouldn’t allow you to back out but that’s probably a little too punishing

[@aureus79]

It seems like it was made by someone who didn't fully flesh out all of the details/mechanics,same as the tutorial, too long and doesn't cover some of the basic things while over explaining others

[@TheSquareOnes]

@@justinsaunders110 Their point is that you can effectively set the exact power you want anyway, it just wastes more of your time if you initially get the input wrong. This seems like the worst of both worlds, it's needlessly fiddly for people that want to just take the shot they know they're trying to get but not consequential enough for people that want their inputs to matter. Maybe they could fix it by adding another currency like "focus" or something that gets spent when you want to undo a thing and starts at like 25 or something per hole, so you can functionally retry as much as you need if you're usually pretty close to nailing the timing anyway but if you try to really abuse the undo system then you'll eventually be forced to just commit to bad shots later in the hole.

[@ikhoudvanvlaai]

I didn´t even know you could cancel shots. It makes way more sense for a roguelike game to have a punishing result if you mess up your shot. Seems like the creators want it to be more accessible. Last update they also slowed downed the gauge and made it possible to zoom out more.

[@ajilitypoints7896]

this is actually so hype. found myself sad when I realized the video was ending, then saw it's been an hour... that's good content

Shoulda called it The Golf Curse

Came here for NL's Scottish accent. Did not leave disappointed 😂😂 Now we know who taught Mel Gibson on the set of Braveheart

I can just picture a 7-year-old Egg being brought in as an accent consultant.

[@aurens.]

damn, i finished my dinner right at 19:00

[@TenaciousDanR]

One of the best 2D golf/roguelite games, super fun time! So happy NL is playing it! By the way, the Card Binder lets you bank cards for future runs! Also, after failing your first run, you get a crucial skill but I guess you'll find that out on your own. Cheers, NL is cursed to golf now! XD

[@fnord3125]

omg, i've been playing this game for hours already and never considered using practice shot cards to pick up idols. i basically had been considering basic practice shots one of the worst cards. this changes everything.

[@YaDerpyyy]

The LloydsPharmacy line cracked me up, that one was really good

[@davidstirk164]

[@Seth_Campbell]

19:40 “Trish the dish, cheap chick in the city, figured I’d get you a little buzz cuz your roommates are on your last nerve” did not expect NL quoting The Rehearsal in the Scottish golf game!

Hey Honey, wake up, new NL just dropped.

Who knew dio was such an avid golfer.

[@tobin1677]

Fun fact, Tiger Woods did not in fact have a chauffeur on the course, during PGA play the players have to walk. The only recent exception I recall was John Daly due to medical reasons, but he had to drive himself.

[@TheThursty100]

I was asking myself why golfers don't just use the driver all the time and just put less power into a shot if necessary. Then NL asked the same and I had a "potential" answer directly pop up in my head. It's probably easier to just yeet it. Using a "worse" club is probably more consistent then regulating your own strength. It's probably not as easy to use just enough oomph in a shot

[@bekfaststealer2660]

Plus if you need to toss the ball upward, it's pretty hard to do that with how the driver's surface is angled. That's why the wedge is made differently.
