genuinely my favorite episode of the show so far, i am a creative and i come from a ggenuine lineage of creative people and its so comforting to hear the struggles and behind the scenes of the creative people i look up to, it makes me feel like all the bs i put myself thru/dont want to do will be worth it in the end

2025-07-08 10:10:53 +0000 UTCNick being unapologetically dense and slime just smirking is great 54:03; it's like he is looking at his own kid. Yeahhh there is so much early game that you are not learning about, but you also have to gauge your nintendogs walking path properly with obj, champion, and map info. YES large handicap of not fighting another champ at all times, BUT you have this game of ca. . . where you have these cheese pits and camps popping up per your time trial as well as your more tons and jerrys muckin about in lane. Everyone is the mouse and we all just want cheese man.

2025-07-08 10:07:57 +0000 UTCGERD* 100% should get it looked at and try omeprazole, but there's a difference between just having heartburn and having GERD. GERD means there's an underlying reason that makes the heartburn chronic i.e. hiatal hernia, weak esophageal muscles, etc. You can also just have heartburn because you ate a meal that was too big or spicy, but that isn't really GERD by itself. Definitely consult a doctor too, don't want to just self medicate.

Sam F
2025-07-05 03:53:09 +0000 UTCWild to hear Slime’s thoughts re: being compared to Lud when I still see Ludwig as the goof Slime and Dawson would clown on in Bad Melee Also @Nick the Sumptuous title didnt work too well. I thought it was just a random “blank” video and ignored it until it popped up for like the third time and I finally read the channel name
Daniel Lopez
2025-07-05 01:05:53 +0000 UTCi think the boys should actually work on getting their CPA (speaking as a yard fan studying for the CPA exams rn)
Liz Nutter
2025-07-04 23:31:25 +0000 UTCJakey on the yard could be a good time. He seems like good banter AND he fucks with melee. He used to make combo videos, they may still be on his channel lol

2025-07-04 21:57:57 +0000 UTCI would LOVE to see Anthony do some outdoors boys style videos. I could imagine him spending 40 minutes to get a campfire going and just rambling about whatever is on his mind. Real shit, I am based in LA and would gladly lend you all my backpacking gear if it meant getting a video out.

2025-07-04 20:48:57 +0000 UTCI'm glad Slime feels the way about his content the way he does now. One of my favourite things is watching people be excited to talk about the shit that matters to them. Looking forward to seeing what he does with it.

2025-07-04 19:08:26 +0000 UTCyo so i started playing league 3 years ago after being a super competitive overwatch player, caring abt my rank and everything so much, and i think with league especially in those like drop 30 kills but still lose games i really focus on the fun and the dopamine u get from getting the kills. league is unique bc u can "win" lane but still lose the game, but u still feel miserable bc u lost. my fix to this was just abstaining from ranked until i knew i was good, and 500 lvls later i still havent touched rank. i know thats sort of casual cuck of me but i play the game a lot still, but the fun of the game is getting fed and getting kills =/ rank. hearing nick talk abt this is interesting bc his motivation to play the game IS to get good, not for fun. i think thats also why smurfs beat their shit so much to new players, bc they are the ultimate retiree players. i rlly hope u two do the race it would be fun to watch :) the game can be so so so so cool n fun but if u let urself get into the toxic mindset where fun = winning ur gonna be miserable so fast. i had a friend who was like that and i lowkey stopped playing league with them bc of it, ik its different bc theres no number elo going up or down but i think an abistanance of care can make the game less suicidal imo. but also thats just saying to care less and we all know white boys love too much and work too hard so what do i know

2025-07-04 18:41:36 +0000 UTCNot really anything to do with ep but wanted to come here and say fuck all the noise surrounding you rn Lud, you know this more than me fs so probably dont want to hear it but way more people fw your content and enjoy consuming it than randos on your recent vods or dms✌️

Jtag
2025-07-04 11:23:11 +0000 UTCI thought the discussion about M2AF was interesting but I think it’s important to note that optimizing title and thumbnail means something very different to someone who’s starting from scratch than for someone who’s a member on The Yard. Like it’s a lot easier to make that artistic choice of choosing not-optimal titles and thumbnails when you have a potential audience of hundreds of thousands already willing to watch you. The idea that good enough content will always find its audience just doesn’t hold up the same when there are hundreds of channels that have been making banger videos weekly for years and are still stuck at ~10 views average

2025-07-04 04:15:54 +0000 UTCforums are beast because they are searchable in browser like there are forum posts from 2002 that have information that is still valuable to this day and they're easy to find because if you look up your question forum posts pop up

2025-07-04 02:48:30 +0000 UTCSeveral of my normie friends repeat several lines from The League, but yes, still an underrated show. The pocket dog bit is one of my favorites.
Andrew Defreese
2025-07-04 02:26:01 +0000 UTCOn the note of improving at things, I think one thing that effects a lot of the way that people improve is a lack of introspection as to what their training/playing volume is actually achieving for them. The reason people can do something for 1000 hours and still not be good OR do something for 100 and be insane is the difference in ability to extract value from the hours you do put in. Putting in the hours can be actively bad sometimes (in my opinion) when all that those hours are doing is reinforcing your current habits without focusing on your underlying decision making. It also takes some introspection to figure out what kind of practice is needed for the current ways you’re looking to get better cause it’s all based on your own brain. There’s a lot of “one size fits all” practice regimens that will probably help you improve but they can’t tell you how to rewire your own brain to get past roadblocks when the improvement stops.

2025-07-04 02:23:59 +0000 UTCSeconded. Jakey banter is up there with the Sad Boys, Ted Nivison, and probably even Eddy Burback. (Inb4 they’re all friends)

2025-07-04 00:53:04 +0000 UTCNick, you are describing the symptoms of GIRD (gastrointestinal reflux disease). Take some omeprazole for 14 days and if the symptoms start getting better in the first 5 days, now you know. But finish the full 14 day treatment. For most people it goes away after 14 days. Also, you may need to adjust your diet. It may be too acidic.

2025-07-03 22:03:24 +0000 UTCComing back to just say, this conversation that Nick and Slime started about content creation and the struggles of not "being called gay" was REALLY helpful to hear. I'm 36, I've been making "content" for years. Most of it unpaid but I do sex work so there's an aspect of it that does make money. But the whole struggle of putting something out and asking yourself "Why do I even bother? Who am I to be doing this?" and I think of the people I look up to or friends seeing it and laughing or comparing it to their own accomplishments and it stops me from making all types of things. Not just content. Arts and crafts, music, painting, job opportunities. Being able to listen to people who have had real experience and success in making content break this stuff down really helps humanize the emotions and realize it is all in my head. Cheers ya'll. Got my $5 worth for sure this month.

Virginia Engroff
2025-07-03 21:17:19 +0000 UTCThis is my “Cincinnati mentioned” moment, but this is the second time Nick has referenced the Bengals on the Yard and I think they’re maybe the only football team he knows.

2025-07-03 20:30:55 +0000 UTCI think Slime’s new videos are better because A). They’re longer and 2). And it’s no longer a compilation of him getting pissed off at the game and then at chat. It’s just more of his funny moments, which were the best parts of the other vids.
