Are you talking about aaaaaaadjsf? I have missed him. What happened?

For those here who may not know:

If you haven’t played a soulslike or a game focused on parrying before it may be worth trying something simpler first

Are there any in particular that you (or anyone else reading this) would recommend? Specifically for parrying, that is. I’ve played a couple soulslike games and I did love them. Bloodborne and Mortal Shell were both fantastic, but in both cases I learned how to dodge really well rather than parry.

at least we’re not still covering everything in leaded gasoline residue

No, instead we’re covering everything in PFAS residue and filling every nook and cranny in the environment and our bodies with microplastics. And still refusing to clean up the lead where it continues to be found in the drinking water of poor and especially black communities.

What?? I recently listened to their whole episode on nitrous and he wasn’t just being critical of them, he was going off about how even as a former hard drug user he can’t understand the appeal. I suspect you caught him doing the multiple levels of irony thing, like how he says he’s become a catholic when they talk about Opus Dei, or a liberal when they went to the DNC.

I wonder about that too. I never watch Twitch or livestreams like that at all, but I do sometimes watch uploads of certain parts getting recapped. It’s just this moving smear of complete unreadable noise it’s so fast and full of emoji spam. But Hasan or whoever the person hosting will still pick out certain comments from it and talk to the person, and I’m like how?? I’m guessing the comments that get chosen must be higher tier subscribers and those show up separately to him or something. But for everyone else, what’s the point? Like you said, just to scream into the void? Maybe on some insignificant chance someone else watching will glance at just the right split second to see what you said in chat?

That is seriously hilarious that the random characters generated for that video url contained a slur. It has to happen that some really terrible and/or funny things do show up in those random characters on super rare occasion (I think v-sauce talked about this in some episode) but that is some crazy weird luck that it happened to this video about a fake a slur award, subsequently caught by the automod here and that we would find out about it because that filter broke the url when you were trying to show off Hasan’s pass for a fake slur.

Yes. I hate to be critical of videos like this, and it’s a nitpick ig but I couldn’t help wincing even in the first 30 seconds, talking about Burkina Faso’s rapidly growing popularity by saying “And it’s all just because of one man.”
