just paid my $5; what are everyone's favorite patreon episodes? any that have gone down in history? any really crazy shit? etc.

I tried the regal nachos while watching Toy Story 5. I wanted to believe that maybe everyone else was wrong, and that regal theaters could somehow mass produce plastic that against all odds was going to be considered the world’s best nachos. I even got the hot Cheetos and Doritos. But no man. That shit was ass. The boys should have crucified him for that take.

I rewatched the playlist and these are even better than I remember

For the majority of you who are Americans, and don't know much about soccer, i will now try to explain to you how insane of a switch up this is for Ludwig to do.

The USMNT is generally, globally, taken as a joke. You have some good players and have preformed well this world cup, but as a whole a the U.S isn't seen as seriously as nations from other contintents. MEANWHILE, the French national team are deadass one of the most dominant and strong national teams we've seen in football for the past 20 years. It's very difficult to put into words how strong this team is.

(context yap for americans who don't know football, if you follow football skip this next paragraph)

Three of the big name players in the france national team (Dembele, Doue and Barcola) play for PSG (Paris Saint-German), the club that won the most prestigous competition within european club football, the Champions League (awesome name btw). Mbappe, their biggest celebrity and striker, is a football SUPERSTAR who plays for one of the most prestigous clubs in football EXISTANCE and singlehandedly carried france in the last two worldcups, last of which they lost by a hair to the Argentinians (Messis national team). Micheal Olise, their winger, is the biggest "up and coming" star within superstar footballers and plays for the most prestigous club within the german league. His team got to the semi finals in said champions league, only to be BEATEN BY THE PARISIAN TEAM I MEANTIONED EARLIER.

With all of this in mind, the fact that Ludwig to my knowledge only has attended the US v Turkey game is insane. BROTHER YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE BIRTHRIGHT OPPORTUNITY TO ETHICALLY AND GENUINELY CHEER ON THE NATIONAL TEAM WHO ARE THE BIGGEST CONTENDORS TO BE THE WINNER OF THE WHOLE TOURNAMENT AND YOURE OUT HERE REPPING THE FUCKING MICKEY MOUSE TEAM.

sorry if this was rambly and incoherent. i just find it insane to repp the US and not France as a french american.

ps. fuck aimen for repping a Hammarby jersey a few eps ago, HATA HAMMARBY

The topic of the player(s) who do surprisingly well on street fighter 6 rank wise despite being blind came up in the pod. Some cool things I thought people may find interesting there.

• There was some mention of there not being settings for blind players that like explicitly narrates actions but there actually are accessibility options specifically made for blind players
• one of the famously blind street fighter players who was known for it in SFV actually consulted on the features because the devs found their story and achievements/demonstration of what you can do cool
• I haven’t heard more on this since near launch but funnily enough I think the well known blind players actually skip the accessibility features because they don’t work that great, or at least not much better than how clear the game’s existing sound design is

I’ve been a lurking YouTube frog for just about as long as Ludwig’s been on YouTube and I wanted to extend my sincerest thanks to him and Slime for inspiring me to pursue my passion after seeing their success while being English majors.

From my time watching them on The Yard and Ludwig’s channel, I switched my major to English because I found a passion in poetry and now have 5 major publications and counting, a full ride to my MFA, a living stipend, and a fellowship.

Thank you dearly to Ludwig and Slime for showing me what it means to be truly confident by creating stuff that is vulnerable, personal, and putting it out in the world to be judged in spite of criticism, haters, or nonbelievers.

With sincerest regards - ZJ

Aimen: "Bottom of the morning to you laddies!"

Ludwig: ...

Nick: "England eating good cos the fam-in" *daps up Slime*

Slime: "Dublin"

Ludwig and Aiden are the two on the pod who consistently try new things and bring new experiences into the pod. While slime and nicks age and experience online shine through to compare these new experiences to their own past experiences. This is kind of shown by their ideas between understanding the exploring the thing they find fascinating (the magic)vs just leaving it as it is and enjoying without the need to explore it further.

I think being naive is part of the fun because I can just enjoy the fact that this guy put 100 dollars in the fucking lemon how did he do that

I’ve seen it used online for a while now, Sam Hyde also made a very blatant compilation with it on his YouTube channel, as an example. Just thought it would be too much to give that racist dude at the airport the credit for any kind of creativity. Terrible stuff.
