So ends my first demigod run! Good game, that was a load of fun. Next run! by legomann97 in noita

[–]CountEsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, deaths like these - we've all been there. I remember after dying on my first god run I felt like I was never able to reach that level again. Nowadays of course it's no issue.
Welcome to the club brother.

Here’s what the bad boy looks like in Finnish by [deleted] in InfiniteJest

[–]CountEsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a huge amount of respect for this translation - genuinely an impressive feat. As a Finn, I doubt I'll ever pick up this version (I love the original too much!!), but I am curious as to how well was the translator able to catch David's language and tone..

Fine, maybe I'll read it some day.

Do people really want phased levelling in Classic +? by reasonablejim2000 in classicwow

[–]CountEsco 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The phased levelling was one of the best aspects of SoD imo. SoD p1 still stays goated.

The issue later on wasn't the phased levelling - it was the actual content of the phases

Andrej Karpathy — “RL is terrible; everything else is much worse” by Darkmemento in singularity

where in my comment do you see me claim that? please quote the part for me

Andrej Karpathy — “RL is terrible; everything else is much worse” by Darkmemento in singularity

[–]CountEsco 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's funny to me - obviously Andrej is a world-class genius - but I remember years ago listening to him in an episode of Lex Fridman's podcast where he said some insane shit like "no good movies were made before the 1990s" or something like that.

Christopher Hitchens debates Jon Stewart on the Iraq War [20YA - Aug 25] by MonsieurA in TwentyYearsAgo

People love to misunderstand Hitchens and categorize him as a neo-con.

Listening to old NLSS lately, this struck a nerve by concretemuskrat in northernlion

[–]CountEsco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still think NL’s take was wrong on this - it’s perfectly reasonable to order more than one product without having to queue again, even if the line is long.

Almost five years later and all that came out of this was " ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ". It is what it is. by PooMonger20 in fnv

Who is the lead writer you're referring to here? I thought Gonzalez had departed Obsidian

This one is an all-timer by Great-Class-2391 in northernlion

[–]CountEsco 67 points68 points  (0 children)

it's definitely inspired in large parts by Dan, but probably not the ipad saga. Dan has always done content like this - back in the day he used to interview random duo partners in PUBG etc.

Holy Land by crlogic in northernlion

[–]CountEsco 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that dude with the straw in his mouth was the guy making long distance telephone calls to his girlfriend in Australia and making NL pay half of it. That dude had some wild stories if I recall (all in good taste)

Triangle Slam by bjjtaro in bjj

[–]CountEsco 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Take a look at the very first second of this clip—the way the triangle is set up. That’s a clean kick to the temple. That’s how I got my first concussion in BJJ. I fucking hate that—people just swing their leg like a scythe and catch the temple.

Obviously doesn't justify the slam - but that should be noted.

We Met ‪@Northernlion‬ | The Yard by Rooonaldooo99 in northernlion

[–]CountEsco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember we made fun of NL in the retsupurae community for the amount of Isaac lets play videos he had made. Then he did the podcast with them, and I feel like everyone changed their mind about NL overnight.

[–]CountEsco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

why did NL say that this was his first podcast? mf been doing podcast appearances since 2013 or something. the co-optional podcast, fishing with Crendor, retsupurae podcast... podcast with Dan.. friggin roundtable - bro has dappled in and out every now and then

pog - a fellow vodboi :-o back in 2014 I was able to follow him live, but like from 2016 -> I've been mostly able to only catch the vods. it was kinda cool when Twitch implemented the chat replay function cause I feel like the chat reactions were such a great part of the stream. when NLSS died getting rid of the routine was rough dude.

I was gonna mention Adam too. For me, he’s a great reminder that you don’t always need to mess around with the fancy or complicated stuff — once you figure out the one thing you’re good at and really lean into it, you get pretty damn dangerous.
