this is the only podcast that i've stuck with for an extended period of time. i don't even watch lud's main channel anymore but something about 4 dudes shooting the shit in the yard is just so funny, relatable, and oddly comforting at times. cheers boys. also this is the only podcast that treats melee like a real sport and as someone who has been in the scene for like 6 years its so reassuring hearing other people be into it. it truly is an incredible spectator sport.

Fun fact for Slime: There is a hockey team in the NHL named the Nashville Predators. The team claims that they are named after the fossil of a Sabertooth Tiger that was found in Nashville, but they probably could have called themselves the Tigers or the Sabertooths if that was really the case...

[@coachmcguirk6297]

I was gonna comment about how it was a different time and predator didn't have the sex crime connotations it has now, it just meant an animal that would hunt another animal... but then I looked at when the predators were founded. 1997 LOL it for sure already had that stigma and they should've named themselves something else 😂

[@EVOTech1]

It's actually really interesting and refreshing to see a group of media personalities choose to NOT give their opinion on something they feel they can not adequately cover. I feel like the online media space really gets a lot of people into the mindset of giving their opinion on everything, whether they are knowledgeable about the topic or situation or not. In this case being so close to the source of the issue and not being the right demo to be affected and to adequately convey the impact of the actions is a more than reasonable reason to not talk about it. It's commendable to see this. Way too many people, especially in the podcast space would have given their opinion just for the clicks and views.

[@ghostkill221]

Honestly, YES... I'm of the opinion that it's incredibly dumb for people to feel like they HAVE to have a take on every single thing. For instance, the round of news recently where Akon (who has several reported misdemeanors against minors) was Asked about Nick Cannon having 6 kids. Who the fuck cares about that? Like... Ludwig is great at making youtube videos, connecting people, talking about games and putting on cool events. You know what he DOESN'T need to be asked about? Ukraine, The Travesties Shell has commited in Uganda, Bodily Autonomy. etc... If it's not something I've researched, my take is "ask someone the fuck else"

[@depressean8295]

I think I agree with Slime that the IP is actually whatever, its like, the best version of a very old and overdone zombie story. THAT BEING SAID, they do it so much better than anyone else has ever done it, that I think it's actually good, and because so many other people have tried it, the fact they do it as well as they do, makes it more impressive. I think.

[@jowdouble2479]

It sounds like you're disagreeing, with all due respect. I agree with you, but the core of what you are saying is the antithesis of what slime said. I love slime and his opinionated, bull-headed takes, but, he completely disregards what makes it unique. Cordyceps. It's not just 'another zombie story'. Almost no one had ever heard of the 'zombie fungus' until "Planet Earth" came out in the mid 2000s, they took a concept that intrigued and horrified the world, and built a truly immersive story around it.

[@FoziVideos]

I totally get the posture insecurity thing. For years I would like, adjust and readjust tiny little position things regarding like, my arms and how far back my shoulders were, etc. Dunno if this would work for slime, but doing theatre class really helped me feel comfortable and in control with my posture and general disposition. Dancing also really helps, basically anything that trains body control. Body insecurities suck, stay strong my awkward posture kings

One thing I think to say on the issue is that it's alright for Ludwig and Stanz to be upset and to acknowledge that this has hurt them. It may have hurt other people (the victims and other women) more or in a different way but Atrioc has hurt them and it's OK for them to feel that even though they are not directly harmed by the content. It's alright for fans to say they feel terrible about the situation even though they are not hurt by that content directly: This did a lot of damage to a lot of people and people are allowed to say that without diminishing the impact on the victims.
