0:00 just the type of shit... you will never be a youtube let's player in 2013 who has to make a title for episode 71 of a let's play. still going. making progress. evil dies tonight? that's what it's about, man. i've only got two a10s left before we play a10 with all characters forever. we got the necrobinder, we got the damn silent, man. how deep does it go? i have a theory! my theory is that stone humidifier is actually awesome.
0:38 my reasoning for the theory is that a. it's boring. boring items tend to be good. b. max hp insNLy valuable on a10 when you have to fight two bosses. i actually think that this could be gas, man. you said it sucked like a week and a half ago? well, yeah, i said a lot of shit when i was a baby that i don't stand by now either, bro.
1:03 modern problems require modern solutions type shit. literally until one millisecond ago though i thought i was the ironclad even though i was talking about how important or how we only have a couple more characters to beat the game with and then we can play as whoever we want.
1:25 will you denounce dragonslayer doppelganger? nothing to denounce, young pup. nothing to denounce. shao peng fu? shao peng fu? nothing to denounce? because i didn't write it. you got an issue with dragonslayer doppelganger? take it up with the writer slash director slash star, michael a.l. fox. that was just a paycheck for me. let me get a blade dance first. let me get a dagger spray, low key the most valuable card in the game. let me get an expose. will you still play this if you get a10 with all characters? yes, it's the...
2:07 easily in the top two video games ever made and it's now second. another dagger spray please. run it back, man. look at this. what about rumbleverse? what about it? i did my part for rumbleverse, man. you guys let me down as far as i'm concerned. take another expose, man.
2:47 megabonk number two? 100%. megabonk number two. one of the best games i've never played and certainly will never play, but it must be good because you guys are playing the shit out of it last year. and you're still playing it to this day, right? i definitely should have removed your fucking shit first, my bad, bro. i don't want to take 16 damage, so i'm going to do that. you're going to play the library organizing game. when the wholesome chungus cozy game is...
3:26 uses generative ai to create all the assets. is that why you want to come here? you want to start to argue? you want to argue right off the bat? couldn't be me, man. that the one with a thousand books? yeah, i mean, honestly, whatever you'd like, you like. like i played wilmot's warehouse for until they got frustrating. i fucking get it. but like, i don't i guess i don't know if this makes me neurotypical or a neurotypical, but i don't really like the idea of being put in a dirty ass room and they're like just sort it out.
4:01 that for me is not... it doesn't appeal to me. now, if i could listen to music while i did it, that might be a different story. if i could put on like... if i could put on... gaucho by steely dan and then do it, that would be one thing. but on stream? no, no, no. i don't think so. you know, well laid plans. and then let's go fucking crazy, man. let's get fucking freaky now. guy who lives in a shithole but cleans in the game instead of in his own house.
4:36 yes, yes, but that's not like my house is clean and i've gotten myself in trouble with this discourse before my house is clean because it's a group effort to fucking keep it clean. you're fucking dead, bro. if i lived alone well, honestly, i would love to have other other men weigh in on this men are not giving their opinion enough these days we need to solicit more opinions from cishet men like myself. okay, and
5:08 if i lived alone now, i would keep my place tidy. not necessarily spotless, but tidy because i've already gone through the courses. i've gone through the necessary material to get to the point where now i also get bothered when the house is on tidy. i go clean up, i do the dishes, i wipe down the countertops from time to time, etc. etc. like i make sure that the place is tidy.
5:39 but if i had never been married or like lived with my partner for like a long time, could be a disastrous type situation. still be argue, i'd probably be having philosophical like zizekian discussions about like, what's the point in cleaning it? it's just going to get dirty again at some point anyway. you know, stuff like that. i don't think i don't i'm not going to say that that wouldn't have happened. you have to go through the you got to go through the
6:09 trauma in order to change permanently, bro. 100%. and that's why, that's the base principle that i have that then gets me in trouble with the second, which i feel like is just a corollary. the corollary that i have is that if a man has not lived with a partner, a romantic partner for like a few years, by the time they're 40, is it too late for them to ever change? that's the one where people go out and come here to be sad.
6:40 but i'm like, i think it might be too late at that point to change because the brain is like ossifying at that point. the brain is like calcifying. i was moldable. i was teachable when i got involved in this situation.
7:00 are the straights okay? don't fucking put that shit out there. i know some of you are living in a fucking mess right now, okay? regardless of where you're at on the gender spectrum or your sexual preferences, i know some of you got like old cans on the ground. i know some of you when you stand up it sounds like a fucking recycling depot in there, okay? guy who's never seen a woman's apartment? i got in so much trouble. i mean if we're talking 20 year old man, 20 year old woman, worst case scenario,
7:38 the worst amalgam, everything in the apartment is the 20 year old man's except the bathroom is the 20 year old woman's. with the fucking apothecaries table of eight different kinds of shampoo with all the lids open and like pink and blue and green, liquids like all spewed all over the shower wall and stuff. he's speaking the truth. damn, i'm being emboldened. this is dangerous. nah, i'm pretty chill. i'm more chill than you would expect. there is like a bit of a cauldron going on in there.
8:16 i like these two cards. i think we have enough damage. give me a backflip. guy who does not have sisters and has not lived with women who aren't his wife. that's a crazy fucking gatekeeper. guy who's only... are you on your fifth divorce or something? like, what's going on here? unlike you, i've been married to four different women. i'm coming in with the brave opinion that all people are slightly different from one another.
9:05 i actually, and kate feel free to push back on this if you like, i kind of mocked my wife in the marketplace of ideas last night because i was telling her i had some sweet chili pork that i got from the grocery store on sunday in order to eat for lunch on monday. but then when it came time for lunch, i was like, am i even going to warm this up or am i just going to eat it cold? save a little bit of time. so i took a bite of the rice when it was cold and i went, that's horrible. i'm going to warm it up.
9:36 and then she said, men are all the same. and it was something along those lines. she said, men are, it's interesting how similar most men are, like something like that. and then i said, i think you'll find women are very similar to each other too. i find most of them enjoy their food warmed up. and she laughed. i fucking got her. i felt like that was a great little reply afterwards to sort of jeet kune do the energy back in the other direction.
10:07 i felt like that was a good one. i didn't say destroyed. i don't have any real discard engines, huh? the aggro throw is still pretty good, but you know what? let's keep the deck a little lean right now. and then he said, tonight we are eating sushi. i actually, i gotta be careful with where i'm going on this discourse, but i think i've become a sushi over pizza guy for sure. card draw here, make a potion space, some damage in there.
10:59 there's something about that. well, the thing is i think it's it's craving driven and what i mean by that is like it's very easy to satisfy a pizza craving by just getting a slice you can't really just get like a slice of sushi like it doesn't seem appropriate to go to a sushi restaurant and be like i'll have one. i
11:19 can i get one tuna roll please? like six little pieces of tuna? like you're gonna be sitting there waiting for it in the first place. it's more of a time investment. you just go into the pizza by the slice place, you look in the warmer, you grab whatever they got, you're in and out in like three and a half minutes, right? sushi is more like to satisfy this craving, i need to block the dinner time out to get it.
11:43 am pm sushi. i legitimately never had like gas station sushi and i'm not gonna start now hopefully. well well well motherfucker. bad news for you. it turns out i actually have some fucking aoe in my deck. dumbass. i think we should accept taking 20 damage to ruin your life on the next turn.
12:24 save the potion. yeah, okay, we can do something good here we can do something decent here you're fucked lad hmm i think the older singles in society should tap out early so you're a suggest i had to run that through the the linter first no, i'm not suggesting that what i am suggesting is that i
13:05 if you are... trying to make it make it make it work, make it work. if you are a middle aged woman, don't date a guy your own age. it's too late. if you're going to date a guy your own age, if you're going to date a guy your own age, date a divorced guy, because then someone else might have already done the work. otherwise, find someone who's like 25 and mold them because you still got a chance.
13:43 or widowed, could be widowed as well. stop talking. it's, it's, i'm telling you. the other thing is if this makes you feel bad and you're a 40 year old man, just look at your desk. okay? if your desk is, it's, it's a little bit of a red flag if your desk is super clean, that's giving serial killer a little bit. but if your desk is like not a disaster, you're fine. if your desk is fucked up,
14:18 maybe it's time to be the you know what michael jackson said? i'm looking at the man in the mirror, i'm asking him to change his ways. wait, kate's on librarian? i know your desk is fucked up, don't type three question marks. i mean aren't you working like, like 20 hours a day or something like that? i'm pretty sure your desk is fucked up, man. i think your desk is fucked.
14:51 i don't eat at my desk, lad. you can accrue garbage in lots of different ways. it doesn't have to be via food, you know? this into the michael reference is a crazy arc. it's literally gonna make $300 million worldwide at the box office. that's all you need to know, young pup. you know what? we will transform a card and get a worse card and then rest to get more max hp. are you gonna learn all your catchphrases in mandarin? i already got two.
15:35 and also, ni bu shi mei guo ren. free to play this combat, i don't really give a hoot. what is xiao peng fu? you know, librarian, little friend. you're not on that scarface pack? it's peng yo.
16:35 pronounced yao, peng yao, zhao peng yao. whatever, say hello to my little friend. do you have a contrarian opinion of obsession due to kino brain? no, i haven't been to the movie theater to see a new movie in like, i don't know, like 11 months or something, man. i haven't seen obsession. that shit is not gonna come to the criterion collection until like 2034 or something. it's gonna be a while, man. nah, sorry, your ass ain't killing me.
17:22 i need to wait for janice films to get the rights. the rights. janice films be like, here's a movie about chandler. you guys know it? so anybody here seen friends? anybody here seen friends? she was always, she was after chandler. that's one thing i know about janice. if there's one thing i know about janice,
17:48 she was pursuing chandler and her laugh was kind of annoying. but other than that, i don't think she was that bad. i don't really know why they all wanted janice to die. like she's just trying to do what she can to stay alive in new york, man. i don't know why they had such a fucking problem with her. by the way, we're dead but that's like normal. she was kind of annoying. yeah, but have you seen chandler? ross is right there!
18:27 could i be any more annoying? that's what i'm saying, man. yeah, janus was great. they should make a show about janus. big money, big money. wait, that's actually fucking great, man. i thought you didn't watch friends. i watched like every episode of friends. you must be thinking of somebody born in 1992. i was born in 1988. i think i watched every episode of friends. the nanny? watched a lot of the nanny for sure. wouldn't mind watching some more.
19:16 so true, born in 92, haven't seen it at all? i mean, it's missable, don't get me wrong. ultra, i mean, let's, aah, pinpoint can be good though. yeah, yeah, i know i'm chandler coded. you ain't the first person to point out that i'm chandler coded. you, i'll get it one, this is a hard language. many people are saying the hardest.
19:51 even people in chat are typing two different sounds by the way some of them are saying some of them are saying yo some of them are saying yow just for the record so if you're watching this on youtube you're like why can't he get it? oh? i'll get it when you get it man. i'll get it when you get it. i'm not played after image yet unfortunately bunch of posers in here
20:32 i was saying to kate, and trust me, as an esl teacher at a point in my life, i completely get it. but like a snake bite just to do some damage man, but the
20:49 sense of superiority you have as the language teacher is so funny because literally you can't be wrong like you're saying well, i'm chinese. so this is how you pronounce it i don't know like you might you might not be saying it the way it's supposed to be said either but people know what you mean because you know, you're surrounding it with shit that sounds right in context and their brain is filling in the gaps so you just no matter what like there's some shit you guys laugh at me for the way i pronounce some things that's how i taught
21:19 250 korean kids how to speak english and sometimes they would say isn't it said like this and i'd be like, come on come on, they brought me here for a reason. i don't know what what's little in korean. okay. can you help me out here? i know what i'm talking about. jungkook jungkook jingu. they brought me here for a reason. okay now they're all going around saying decal yeah, it's true. that was an advanced lesson though
22:06 grade two randoms? we take a shot at this. as long as it's one non basic, i'd be stoked. oh! thank it, love it, gotta have it type shit. they're all going to america saying bathroom? the word for bathroom is one of the ones that pisses me off the most if i'm being dead ass with you. all the words are bad. and the skies are gray and the skies are gray. like we in in canada, we might call it
22:54 bathroom or washroom? if you ask for the bathroom, you're obviously not taking a bath. you want to like take a dump or something. you're washing your hands but that's not the main reason you're going there. but if you ask for toilet, people are like, oh you're being gross. like why do we have such a problem with this? this is why seisuo is such a good guy who's fully internalizing becoming mandarin. everything's better in mandarin bro. you always need a dagger spray.
23:32 there's always money in the banana stand. let's take an agro path here. it's on a winter's day. whatever, man. i don't know shit about the mamas and the papas except for ham sandwich. huge. are the balds okay? i don't... i think so. i'm all right. being bald is crazy though because sometimes you like forget that you're bald. sometimes you like go into the mirror or like be in the seiswa and then look in the mirror and be like, oh, that's right. i don't have any damn hair. fuck it. let her rip.
24:45 flashbang in the mirror. what is crazy though is sometimes you forget other bald guys or at least guys who have been bald for a long time, back me up on this one. sometimes you forget that we live in a cruel society and like when people see you they will always see you as bald first and don't really think about anything else. like you think that you're meeting people as peers like on the same level of status but then i bet if you put yourself in their brain they're like oh he's the bald guy. this is the first and foremost this guy is bald.
25:15 which is why bald people are the most enlightened people on the planet, because at no point do i go, oh that's the guy with brown hair. that wouldn't be specific enough bro. like a lot of you out there have brown hair man. my fiance knows you as bald man.
25:34 i mean it's a little superficial, but like if you're into that i guess like don't let me have you second guess who you're betrothed to or whatever but it seems a little superficial because you'll also be old one day there's like a 60 chance at some point you'll be fucking bald so if you're like wow i'm glad that's not me you need to take a more fucking heptapot ish look at the passage of time because honestly it ain't even that far away and i'm not even talking about a cosmic sense
26:00 a human life is essentially one flap of a butterfly's wings. it takes a really, really long time to get from like age three to 20 and then 20 to 40 is like that. and i know you're like, that's not going to happen to me. you're already halfway through. you're already halfway through. you don't know you and that's got, that should scare you.
26:23 at age 23, because it scares the fuck out of me! because if 20 to 40 goes by in the blink of an eye, what about fucking 40 to 80, bro? if we should be so lucky. it's a scary thought, man. but then the other scarier thought is about 80 to 90 takes forever. but anyway, i don't know if you're ready for that. send it. my 98 year old grandma said i don't want to live to see a hundred.
27:11 but in a way, i know that obviously it's framed as like, wow, that's sad and it is melancholy. but in a way, isn't that kind of like awesome? it's kind of like she's like, don't you feel like that would be a little empowering to be like, i've drunk my fill. i've drunk my fill from this fucking mortal cup. i don't need anymore. you know, i'll skip dessert. no dessert menu for us. thanks. like, you know,
27:38 in a way, i almost feel like the reason that you on an intrinsic level, the reason that it's sad because it's your grandma is obviously a number one. then like number two is you're like, damn, she's accepted that she's not going to live forever. but that's still like a possibility for me. no, it's not, man. no, it's not. and if we get to that point,
28:00 it's gonna be worse than death, i think. that's my radical take is, don't put me in the major kusanagi human consciousness aggregation algorithm. please, for the love of god, i would rather cease to exist. i would rather have some time to rest. i don't want to be put in the consensus generation machine. aubrey de grey didn't die for this? aubrey de grey died? the guy who was trying to create eternal life?
28:36 is this how i learned that the pseudo scientist in charge of the anti senescence project has died? i have no idea if he actually died. that's a big piece of intel! if the guy who was trying to create eternal life died. lowest slavest buyer player of all time. alive at 63, alive and well. that's huge, man. that's huge. jesus don't die, you can rely on each other.
29:16 every card is a winning run. i guess we want a cloak and dagger. we got we got shiv options here. one of those. one of these. one of these. certainly one of those. wait, you're done? sad. weak enemies take double damage. i don't think we're built for that. are we built for memento mori? we literally have like one discard engine. fuck it bro. get fucked lad. take two of those and call me in the morning.
30:23 talking about living forever while dying in slay the spire. so true. i don't want to think about dying. i just want to think about those sunshine girls. take me back. you know what's crazy is that for you, my for you alive 2007 is my fucking post nothing, bro.
30:47 oh, i know you're talking about, oh take me back to the summer when blonde came out. no man, take me back to the late winter early spring when post nothing came out. imagine. blonde on blonde? i wish man. fuck, we're gonna die again. take me back to when channel orange came out.
31:25 i had a little whiplash in the discord when there was a chatter in there who said blonde was one of their favorite albums and they never heard channel orange. that one threw me for a loop and they're not evil for it but i'm like the exact opposite guy. i listened to channel orange, i don't know, like 200 times when it came out and then stopped listening to all new music forever like six months later. we're gonna die again. we're definitely gonna die.
32:05 big fat minus two? oh, that's for the person who said frank ocean's overrated. i thought it was for my existence. and i was like, that's fair, but would you present some supporting arguments, please? not looking too good, man. not looking too good. the humble 40 damage explosion? we should be so lucky, man. on the bright side, we might be able to get a little weakened in there.
32:56 probably not now that i look at it. to be honest, i didn't know about your existence until last week. i'm feeling it's pretty plus two though. well, you know, it's the thing like when you find out you're a little neurotypical and all of a sudden you start to say some stuff like honestly like everybody, everybody that's ever done anything is neurotypical.
33:27 like a wright brothers neurotypical or neuro atypical. the albert einstein clearly neurodivergent. abraham lincoln neurodivergent bro, 100%. everyone who's ever done anything good for mankind has been neurodivergent. like right now you're in a very like pro nl phase but it'll change. i'll say something offhand without even thinking about it that will it might be related to sonic
33:51 or board games or food or like picky eating. you'll be like, right now you're agreeing with me 100% of the time. you're gonna find that 99th thing where you're like, wait a second, this is like a betrayal. this is a betrayal now. and it's a natural phase and then you go away for a while and then you come back
34:17 and we kind of find like a homeostatic, like a set point, you know? and it works for all of us. it works for all of us, man. we go again. i came back and we're boys now? i don't even remember why we were beefing. were we beefing? you were in the peloton discord for a bit. there was something. there was something. i don't remember what it was. stare? you chat too much for me to go back in the audit. i'm hoping you'll do me a solid and just tell me.
35:00 this is pretty good. that's not too bad. i think bouncing flask is pure ass these days to be honest with you. three of these huge, two of those much better, much better line. i honestly i feel like we're warmed up. i feel like we win this one and then you just go, dude, honestly to be fucking honest with you, phantom blades is so good. first time you play it get energy.
36:00 sohn is really fucking good, man. dales sonu and you give him 9hp! dales sonu, if you got some shives for me! yeti, are you out here? i would not feel so on son! everybody must get son! fuckass trombone coming in after that. what's happening? it's track one of blonde on blonde.
36:34 you brought me back with the ending? onironically, like the best song i sing at karaoke ever. and by that i mean the song, a lot of people could take it or leave it. but for me personally, it's the closest i get to people being like, hey, can you sing that again? yes, yes. i would like to upgrade a card in my deck. upgrade a card in my deck. was maccready the thing?
37:04 bro, i think all men were the thing before they even landed at mcmurdo station. that's my crazy take. ever think about that shit? now this is crazy. nah, childs i'm afraid. i think they were all the thing, man. my thoughts on the subject. anyway, engineers, i'm gonna ask you to... this is like the rudest shit i've ever said. i'm gonna ask you to have a sense of humor, okay? no matter how much it hurts. i never in my life ever again wanna hear
37:51 mccready gave childs a flask full of methanol or diesel or something like that to check and see if he was the alien. that's not what john carpenter was trying to say man. and if he was, he's wrong. that's not what he's trying to say man.
38:11 that's not what he's getting, that's not what it's about, man. it's about the paranoia. it's not about, based mccready blows out childs with one last ingenious chris nolan esque trick, okay? motherfucker, whenever you discard a card during your turn, deal three damage to a random enemy for each card discarded. holy shit. that's not even really what we want, but the ting goes. it's about the state of mind, man.
38:55 that shit wouldn't happen to me cuz you would not catch my ass in antarctica. i watched the werner herzog documentary about antarctica. you would not catch me there, bro. not gonna happen. how about a nimble two on survivor? upgraded attacks deal more damage. but why? isn't it like, i was gonna say something i couldn't walk back.
39:30 i was gonna say, is it florida? the place you go to escape a dui if you have a high school diploma and antarctica is where you go to escape a dui when you have a bachelor's degree? i thought, sometimes the sentences that pop into my head are, it's not me creating them. i'm curating them, i'm not creating them. there's a difference. i'm grabbing them out of the stream and then i'm putting some back.
40:03 and a cappella kind of peak to what is our it's an injury right? plumsy clumsy ain't even that bad i've been living with that shit my whole life man give me accuracy and then let's let's dodge this elite place the dodge of dui is the us congress yes, man. yes 17 1776 that is a bastard orphan alcoholic. oh
40:42 wait, we bogged with these? we haven't even played phantom blades yet. this is crazy. and we pass. hamilton referenced. it's literally good. it's literally the best. my bad, y'all. i thought i had done damage to you. thought i'd done some damage to you. exposed doesn't do any damage. realizing. no. not awesome. this still does 10 damage. okay, get out there.
41:34 is this the first run? nah, this is like, this is the third run. but it's actually, this one is the first one that seems like it has a chance, man. this is the run that stepped up. some aoe is necessary until we get whatever that shiv card is that allows you to have all, fan of knives, that's it. all shivs hit all enemies. you're right, you're right, it's fan of knives. fan of knives. well, phantom blade.
42:09 accuracy, early dagger spray, nothing wrong with that. how about a blade dance? i bet blade dance easily gets a kill. how many? these do ten each. i'll spend two of them on this. worst block of all time. i think we just play a strike, man. people fuck with thanksgiving way too heavy. so i don't mean anything sinister by this, but when you say people, you're really just referring to americans.
42:49 we have thanksgiving in canada, but it has nowhere near the religious significance of american thanksgiving. thanksgiving is not underbought. that's a crazy sentence. we aren't religious over it. i mean, you have you treated as sacrosanct. sacrosanct.
43:18 so i only know the word for it in mandarin. i'm not suggesting it's literally a religious holiday. i'm suggesting it has religious significance because the detroit lions play a football game on that day. it's like if you suggested that we would skip thanksgiving, you would be like, what are you talking about? like that's against who i am as a person. easiest fight of my life, bro. i skip. i'm not afraid to skip my rare. could the hunt have been useful? you mean the ogton? well, okay, one second, bro.
44:10 clone, i've had clone a lot lately which is funny because i think literally yesterday i said i've never had it at all. a clone on phantom blades that also, it clones the zone right? like this will be nutty man and the first ship we play every turn will deal 12 additional damage. you can't clone it because it has an enchantment. oh, enchant, that's right. okay, you're right, you're right, you're right.
44:43 you're right, you're right, you're right. well, i'm not gonna clone an accuracy, that's crazy. i love pales legion as kind of like the base case of the switch statement. pales legion is real good, man, in my opinion. guy who knows nothing, definitely start there. definitely like your ass is grass, man. huge. i don't even think we used a little fellow this time.
45:26 you need some block. like, this is not the run where we had after image. yeah, okay, a little bit of block would hit the spot. crazy potion. i love this, but i've already said this, that this looks like the best potion in diablo 2, so i just innately want to buy it every single time i see it. used condom potion. i mean, if you're... if you're load maxing, maybe. i mean, that's crazy.
46:09 it's no marge potion? is this the marge potion? cause it looks like marge simpson's hair? zinc? you need you need more than zinc to get to this fill rate, man. you need way more than zinc to get here. there's also the lisa that's never gonna leave my brain, man. the lisa potion and the marge potion. ohhh. i love that. that's huge. and they say this game is bad for streaming, man. ohh.
46:51 honestly, the shop not that inspiring for me. i'm gonna cut clumsy. oh shit. already used my acabeko. um, i mean might as well take no damage i suppose. honest to god, strike is worse than clumsy. low key, i actually thought about it. because strike is like a curse that doesn't have ethereal. oh shit, you're fucked lad. i could leave more shields i think.
47:35 clumsy goes away. my honest to god thinking though was that we're still at a point where i will be hopefully killing enemies before we go through our deck one time, which for right now makes clumsy a little bit worse the first time that we draw it. but i would love, i mean if they gave me the option to remove all my strikes, i'd probably be pretty stoked to be honest with you. that'd be a pretty good day for a guy like me.
48:10 that fight being easy is a great sign, man. but there's not really any simpsons options here. i mean, this one's given a little smithers, but it doesn't really have like a... i can't really make a good case for it. this is kind of like a barney. it's a barney potion because it kind of looks like a sleeve full of beer, maybe? what do you think? this is the auto potion? bus driver? i'm gonna take a power potion. you're reaching? yeah, you're right. it's beneath me.
48:56 i'll get three shivs. double the shivs is good. one more vulnerable is also kind of peak. we definitely don't want to go to a shop. i don't even remember what this shit does. who gives a fuck? i'm all in. we need to play a defend on this turn. this gives us energy. draw a card. draw a survivor. imagine, man. okay, play one defend. hit four shivs. play one. you can't play the rest without accuracy, in my opinion.
49:53 behold. huge play. please get there. unlocks a special event in the next act. i literally don't even remember what it does. can i see the other card? okay, you need finisher. strike dummy's got a certain je ne sais quoi. enel, please do something. the golden knights are going to win the stanley cup.
50:25 is a little spooky for sure. but also, i was like, you know what? i was diagnosing why i hate the golden knights and i was realizing like, i'm not sure why i still hate them. i hate the idea of them. i hate that they just joined the nhl and have had so much success, but they already won the stanley cup. they already won. like i'm out here going like, i sure hope darth vader
50:56 you know, doesn't kill obi wan kenobi. this shit happened like 40 minutes into the first movie, bro. like, the damage is done. like, even at my, to put it politely, my advanced age, i still have to remind myself that, like, oh, shits don't have retain yet. i have to remind myself of that too. but i have to remind myself of the fact that the guys i root for aren't just the good guys because i'm rooting for them. like, if you are a vegas golden knights fan,
51:31 the vegas golden knights are the good guys and that's like equally valid as my team being the good guys. even though it feels horrible to say, it feels like that can't possibly be true, but it's the truth. honestly, i think that fight was a testament to the fact that our decks may be getting a little too thick. great role on the upgrades though. now i will say i agree with you.
52:07 that it only applies, it's a case by case application because i mean the houston astros are the bad guys. but then it also changes based on the administration. and this one, even if you've agreed with me so far, i don't think you're going to agree with this one. this one's going to ruffle some feathers. the new england patriots. well, okay, the mike vrabel stuff might have made it a little bit more complicated. the new england patriots were the bad guys.
52:39 but then the bad guys that made them the bad guys are not on the team anymore. the new team, i'm not saying they're good guys. i'm just saying they're not the bad guys anymore. they're just wearing the same shirt as the bad guys. they have an evil owner. it's the nfl, man. what do you want me to say? it's the nfl. they're all like, you can't do this though. you can't be like, i'm going to root for like the
53:10 the least evil nfl team. you root for the one that's closest to you and then you say, well, fuck everybody involved with this, but still like, you know, go packers or whatever. that's having loyalty for your proximate citizenry. what if i kill you this turn? what if i just fucking do it? not going to happen. okay. okay. what if i block a little bit then? we want nothing. don't kill me. don't kill me on this beautiful run.
54:05 i need my power bro. this is really bad. this is really bad. and i played a block like a fool. too late, i've already shrunken you. we kill you next turn. we fucking kill you next turn. oh shit, no, no. motherfucker. reduce to adams. i mean, i think we maybe live if i play my defend first to be honest with you, but i forgot that this is the enemy that
54:57 reduces you to zero strength and also zero decks. that's alright. that's alright
