Triforce! Mailbag Special #3 - We can't talk about anything anymore

[@Terinije]

Lewis didn't know what a Triforce shape was until now.... peak Triforce.

[@alfronzocragimo-spicerini3828]

He is the best KZbinr I’ll stand by it

[@j-mc2144]

I actually didn't know either to be fair.. o_0

[@lin90210]

It shows the triangle can be interpreted in multiple ways :)

[@aceclark101]

"Too inappropriate" That's it, I vote Lewis takes over the mailbag. He won't be bothered by whatever is sent in.

[@PenguKeks]

45:59 one of the official L4D2 campaigns is in fact a carnival/amusement park with clown infected and a love tunnel.

[@OmegaP]

This was a great Mailbag , instead of reading the emails they got they just complained about them being too long 😂

[@Mechanisttm]

Shoutout to Ross for getting that signed comic for Ted.

[@pancake_5703]

I just can't get enough of this podcast, listened to them all at least a few times lol. Hope that y'all never quit

[@dankirt15]

I would tottally be up for a "triforce after dark" as sips suggested.

[@dsalinaplays]

There is already a L4D2 map where there are clowns and even a tunnel of love 😂

[@ForbiddenPlanetTV]

Ross from Forbidden Planet here! Still can't believe I was name-checked on the Triforce podcast, been a listener since the start 😀😀

[@Chairdolf]

How did he react when he got it?

[@DigitalStains]

Pyrion's dutch accent is really good whahaha

[@LEROYJENKINSNZ]

"Oh are we doing a mailbag? Let me bring it up" already pmsl, idk why I expected Flax to be prepared

[@teucer_]

The Day After Tomorrow is the film Lewis might be thinking of.

[@charliecrome207]

Finally, my weekly dose of dads and basement dweller

[@EvileDik]

Noam Chomsky is a mere intellectual pygmy compared to the unfathomable cognitive powers of the triforce.

[@Chaotic_Monk43]

As someone who is very familiar with the community around people who are conceived via sperm donation, the "you should be happy" take is not the best. I realize it's just comparing a doctor to a student, but if the recipient and then the child think that the sperm is from one source but is actually from the fertility doctor themselves, that's so many layers of wrong. There are actually a lot of cases (mainly on the US) where fertility doctors essentially use their own sperm while telling the recipient it's from a donor. I know Flax wasn't really thinking about it anywhere near this much, but as it's a subject I'm familiar with as a donor conceived person myself, I thought I would elaborate.

[@goldbirdie]

People waking up from comas be like “I am dave Yognaut”

[@PureRushXevus]

43:55 "there are people crafting like, special ones for shooting and stuff" as opposed to guns not for shooting lol

[@knitterknerd]

I can't imagine that Lewis doesn't have ADHD. I know, it's rightfully frowned upon to try to label people you don't know like this, but the thing is, he's just like me in too many ways to ignore. And it's not that I'm trying to diagnose him, really. For a lot of people, it becomes more like a personality type than a disorder, as we learn what works for us. In fact, I've learned that a lot of the things that I've thought of as my personality are either ADHD traits or forms of ADHD management. There's a lot that's great about ADHD, and it seems like Lewis has used it successfully. In particular, many of us think of hyperfocusing largely as a superpower. But it's useful to know if you have it. Maybe there are tips out there that you haven't thought of, or maybe it will just help you learn about yourself. Even though I was diagnosed when I was young, I believed for decades that I was lazy, and I had to almost trick myself into being productive. Turns out, it's not laziness, it's executive dysfunction, which comes with ADHD. Learning that was huge for me! I already used the right strategies for it, but understanding why they worked helped me make them more effective. I wish I knew sooner that undertreated ADHD can lead to anxiety, though. Learned that one the hard way. If you think you might have ADHD, I strongly recommend looking into it! You may not need a diagnosis or medication, but just learning about it can be a bigger help than you'd imagine. I wouldn't get rid of ADHD, even if I could, but there's so much helpful information out there now that I wish I could have had when I was diagnosed. It's like there's a user manual for part of my brain! Even though it wasn't broken down, the information helps me keep it properly maintained and running smoothly.

[@JoesCollectorsCorner]

1hr 15mins of gold! Just like old times :) love the long episodes

[@360H3ADSHOT]

I would really love to hear that message about lagoon in Utah because I literally live across the street from it

[@JimothyTheGreen]

I'm really enjoying the mailbag tbf. Very chill episodes.

[@donaban500]

love your new mics!

[@gjiroux4]

thats actually really interesting to hear im a big fan of the yogs but dont really follow news all that much so i never really knew why team double dragon just stopped lol, thanks for the info love the podcast

[@Raediamoon]

I've thought Lewis seemed ADHD as well. I have it and didn't know about it until I was 28.

[@KellHallman]

Right? 😅

[@XMysticHerox]

52:00 thats the email I wanted to write but figured they wouldn't care lol.

[@zindi1138]

Sips is like Nepolian never opens his eyes

[@LakierosJordy]

Whaaaat, I was not expecting to hear my game show up in this podcast! (We Who Are About To Die) Sorry for the spam, wasn't a clever ploy but just sent to all of you! (I think I just referred to triforce in the email tho) Anyway longtime podcast/yogs viewer, you can add game developer to the list of jobs people do while listening. :)

[@jimboc669]

I smell like beef

[@charliecrome207]

I smell like vegan imitation beef

[@Whirl435]

I smell like Vimbos

[@Sandm0n]

Cant find this one on the podcast/spotify feed! 😅

[@oojumaflip1]

Where’s the Spotify upload 😩

[@TheSpeedyCola]

Just awoken from Tarkov slumber to this gem!

[@dougpowers]

I'm guessing Lewis had the wrong mic enabled.

[@strategystuff5080]

Ah I actually went to forbidden planet in London, It was quite nice :)

[@Kingsleyrulz]

Speaking of old games, I miss when yall played terrible hoi 4 together.

[@silvernug]

Yeh like they don't need to do it all the time by any means, but like a Christmas HOI stream would be so great. I love watching them fail at taking over the world, and feel like its a special mix of fun when its just those three. I think i had watched some Pyrion streams where he was playing with people who were actually good at HOI and it was way less interesting for some reason.

[@Anonsy_GB]

@@silvernug The fun in watching "competent" people play hoi4 multiplayer matches is when someone screws up and the screaming and/or infighting begins.

[@Mynestrone]

greetings triforce, I am a scientist with no understanding of educating lay-people...

[@360H3ADSHOT]

Nah, pyrian with another terrible take on the little red hen. Pyrian missed the point

[@Crackmonkey809]

There is not ever anything to inappropriate

[@j-mc2144]

45:07 Even though it feels like classic comedy, I can't place why this killed me. 9/12/22 edit 56:33 found the story i was looking for again 12/9/22 54:15

[@Crackmonkey809]

Does anyone have the sips crying thing? Asking for a friend

[@BONESTORM2501]

Video time

[@divamon5602]

WOOOOO!

[@LeoLeo-xz5lt]

Never thought I’d hear about Burnley on the pod but our brexit football days are over now Dyche has gone hopefully 😂😂

[@stinkyferret1282]

Regarding the NCIS comments. I really enjoyed the show for several seasons. I won’t say it’s a great show, but it was a big part of my childhood. But I just can’t watch it anymore after some actors left. I tried getting back into it but it feels like a completely different show to me. I am American and grew up in one of the biggest military cities in the US so that might be a big reason I liked it as a kid rather than the show actually being good.

[@cooliemcdoolie5583]

Sounds like Lewis is in a bathtub

[@Mrzacman5001]

Yay

[@Sem5626]

ironically pyrion still only read like 3 emails because he spent more time ball aching about how long the emails are i have to skip these crappy episodes

[@JamieAubrey]

I'm started to dislike Flax, How dare you hate on NCIS xD

[@jackoghost]

people complain about the instant travel in GoT season 8 but in season 1 episode 1 the king arrives in Winterfell and in episode 2 they are back in Kings Landing, thats instant travel too but back then it was no fuss or less heard off, guess it was after the whole shown travel time with Arya and The Hound that people expected the same again in later seasons

[@emilyc8958]

Lol

[@that-guy-pearce]

It just occurred to me after all these years how strange it is that a podcast whose callsign is a declaration of impotence is named after the final mcguffin in a nintendo game that it has no relation to or interest in. Like imagine a wine and book club called Chaos Emeralds because one member's name vaguely sounded like the word "emerald"

[@Bob21150]

Weird take on the sperm donor thing. I would be ecstatic to find out I have that many siblings. Yeah it's different if you didn't grow up with them but I would love to get to know them if they were willing.

[@Chick3nluvver]

why no 1080p ? sad face
