There was a moment recently in A Difficult Game About Climbing where NL asked for help on a certain section. And chat... chat remembered. Amidst the blaze of comments and emotes, occasionally the legendary phrase showed up.
i was literally just laughing to myself last night remembering the phrase "imagine you're the center of a protractor" so for it to be back like this is wonderful timing.
I just want to say thank you librarian! You’ve made this community so much better with your edits. I really appreciate all the work you put into this content for all us eggheads to enjoy 💕
@@natefroggy3626 Look at the thumbnail again, put that circle in the center of the player character. That is the center of the protractor the chatter was talking about. The sword is the angles of degree of the protractor. The sword moves around you, not you around it. That's why you're incorrect. If what you said had any truth that would mean your body center of mass is in your arms which is obviously not true.
@@greenoftreeblackofblue6625 Well it depends on the scenario. When nothing is going on, the body is the center of the protractor, with sword rotating around, youre right. But when he uses it as a pole vault, the end of the sword is now the fixed point, with the body rotating around.
To this day I have no idea how he had so much trouble with "a slow fall slips less". It makes perfect sense to me. He's yapping about how there's no nouns in the sentence brother what the fuck do you think the third word is there
I think it's because it didn't end up resulting in a solution to that specific area for him - Just running off with the sword ahead was way more consistent, it seemed like he generally understood the idea but didn't get why that would be helpful in that specific situation because the pole vaulting method didn't seem to be working well
@@TheEnecca If you're sitting on top of the sword, if you move the sword quickly it slips on the ground, so if you want to vault across something it's best to do it slowly so that the sword stays close to the edge that you were vaulting off of Except it didn't have anything to do with that part of the game because you can just run off and grab the other side much easier lol
wadda hell I just understood what "a slow fall slips less" means. Thanks for the reupload my brain expanded. Do you see how at 6:16 for example the character is moving back and forth? that's not from NL pressing the movement buttons. It's because he's in the ice level and he's swinging the sword back and forth which pushes him in the opposite direction. if he quickly swung the sword down from vertical to grab the other side, he'd slip in the opposite direction further away and probably not reach. Whereas lowering the sword slowly to horizontal as he sends it, a "slow fall" of the sword, he'd slip less.
@@deathwindae8277 when you pole vault, if you full send the vault, your sword will slip out from under you. Compared to slowly inching through the arc, the pivot point will not move.
@@rxpe I don't think that's it, since the solution for that segment isn't vaulting. But maybe it is because the next time you get there you can vault.
NL and the Tip of the sword are both centres of protractors, each becoming the real protractor when being leveraged, and fading into obscurity when in the air.
FrostyJack1 doesn't get enough credit for "You are the center of a protractor" actually being really good advice for how to think about the physics in this tbh
If you think really deeply (and ideally smoke a lot of weed), “you’re the center of a protractor” is a really interesting outlook on life on how our energy and relationships extend outwards
genuinely cant watch this game because i thought i was hallucinating repeatdly hearing my heapdhones say "power off/power on" because of the sound effect of the sword. it's like hearing your alarm in a movie, im pulled out of whatevers happening lol
I remember watching this live and just absolutely losing my mind over how he refused to use any of the game's hints or tutorial test. Now I watch streams purely to see chat mald over stuff like this.

timestamp has where the message is sent and then gets read shortly after but its a really funny segment
Thank you. You are the center of a library.
You are a curator and an artist
I was about to say i can tell this is vintage NL because his head is much bigger
Praise the peloton's head shrinking properties
chat is this real?
Lil Caesar
Ending karaoke bit my beloved
A slow fall Sips less
underrated part of the song: when NL goes ridiculously low because he cant get high enough, but thats right when the song gets way lower

No one let Librarian look at the dragon
The "BOP" spam when something sus is said really brings me back

The end of the sword was the center of the protractor

that outro is so good thanks librarian i love you (parasocially)
Bro is rummaging through the archives, I almost forgot about this bit
Rotating Shapes: The Game
Tetris is malding rn
Still one of my favourite classic lines to just drop on people who can't possibly get the reference.
the second i saw the dragon i was like "yeah librarian is probably about this"
i quote "we have reached the prodigious length of 3" all the time

Chapter 2: You are the center of a protractor has been my favorite book of all times since 1988.

SPH dragon
Looked at Wikipedia's disambiguation for "SPH", pretty easy to spot which one you meant when I saw it. 🤣
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Clueless
she got that SPH if you know what I mean 😏 (Sphingomyelin)
The gameplay: Slay the dragon
The dialogue: Lay the dragon
You gotta do a supercut of the are you smarter than a 6th grader itwas really funny
Watching him try to maneuver the first 10 mins got me thinking I may be a genius
omg sips absolutely sent me
FrostyJack1 doesn't get enough credit for "You are the center of a protractor" actually being really good advice for how to think about the physics in this tbh
nl has a viewer base of almost entirely goblins that live under various bridges except for one dude
I had bought the game after that center of the protractor bit. He always gets me.
This is how I learn that my brain works like NL's because "slow fall slips less" makes no fucking sense
The door is stuck
If you think really deeply (and ideally smoke a lot of weed), “you’re the center of a protractor” is a really interesting outlook on life on how our energy and relationships extend outwards
NLs vocal quality really only makes him suitable for like, REM covers. Maybe They Might Be Giants as well.
Omg the ragequit lol
Edit: nope the karaoke is so damn goood
Him refusing to learn anything and rage quitting the game was so funny
outro goes crazy on this one
Now you need the moment NL realized that theres an item in Luck Be Landlord called Protractor.
The twitch sings bit kills me, sips would love old sips 🥺
Nl played that game like someone with extreme anxiety on speed
legendary outro as usual librarian.
Show me you're a games journalist, without showing me you're a games journalist
he really is tho
For half a sec there I thought he returned to this game for some reason lol
how many times must I watch the goddamn Sips karaoke clip before Librarian is satisified ?
holy shit sips' shaggy is immaculate
I swear every time this video is posted I have work anxiety. This video is deja-vu like crazy
"just hold sword out and run off" what a king
the most legendary chat in my heart
I need a shirt that says "You're the center of your own protractor"
"You are the center of a protractor pls." - FrostyJack1 7:27
I was bench pressing in the gym and almost died when he said center of a protractor
1:00 OMG NERISSA REFERENCE?!
OK RELAX BUDDY
unhinged description
the slow fall penetrates the slips less
I could have sworn this was from like 2018. No way this was only 2 years ago
Might be the most goated outro of all time

awesome outro
The outtro is 10/10
I am protractular And NL's head is an oval
Its insane how much weight he's lost.
Like I never saw him as an overweight guy but seeing his face now vs his face a year ago is crazy fr
@@asystole_ It's really great to see. His Pelaton arc has added a decade to his life at least.
Library is goat (unoriginal but necessary and true statement for the algorithm)
not sure if im being silly but i dont see the name of the game anywhere!?
FrostyJack1 the legend
Holy shit that outro
A slow fall slips less
Hey that initial length was big enough, it was average at least.
13:23 Fishipat in chat
Ohhhh I was wondering how he fixed his sub banner but its just old as shit
Best ending ever :D
I can’t believe how bad he is at this and how stupid chat is, this is worse than inscription
Nvm he started to figure it o it by the end
Nvm he somehow lost it by the end
What does [Chat revival] mean here
Damn mean NL rocks but kind NL is goated
god i wish that were me
