The tweet about him playing the most colourful bink bonk game imaginable whilst giving a chatter a life course altering monologue has never been so true
Some guy in chat: "Should've taken the other one" NL, Every single time: "We are all bound to a meaningless rock floating through the cold darkness of empty space for eternity, we live for less than a microsecond in the grand scheme of the timespan of the universe. Our lives are calculatedly worthless, it is only through the illusion of joy and happiness that we manage to persist in this harsh reality and convince ourselves that we're more than mere rounding errors of a decimal point. Fun is an abstract concept that at its core does not truly even exist, but still we chase it daily with trivial little games and tasks we constitute as 'play.' The digitized code behind the matrix of these pixels is not my God, I am their God, them bend to my whim. You will die some day, not just in body, but in spirit and idea. Eventually, no one will even remember you. Also go to work."
The irony that he tells people, "We're all gonna die someday" which I take to mean, 'why do you care enough to say the thing you said' and then proceed to mirror a similar statement which deserves its own "We're all gonna die someday" is hilarious to me.
I saw the librarian video where he went off on the backseater first with no context and said "so true," then I saw him delete the wallet for myself and felt the rage of 1000 stuttgart engineers flow through me.
@@TrickyTricky914 Sure, but the monologue wasn't about whether the chatter was right or not. NL's entire point was that you dom't always need to do the objectively correct route.
@@hunterepsiThe chatter didn’t say he needed to do the optimal play tho. Pointing out something that did kill his run is not backseating. Backseating would be telling what he should have done or not have done.
@@oreoyo5639 Honestly, fair take. He even asked why his run suddenly sucked, so the guy correctly answered his question. Poor Stuttgart engineer caught the stray of a lifetime 😢
The only thing I know about this game is that localthunk posted about how excited they were for it to come out, so I'm already in for 4 billion episodes LETS GO
The NL Effect truly hits when seeing him play suboptimally and then driving up sales of roguelikes. Half my steam library of roguelikes is because of this man
The song at 1:31 is "Ocean Waves and Square Waves" by Glaciaere, for anyone wondering. I haven't heard that one in a while, and it hit me like a ton of bricks hearing it again.
Hey genuine thank you for saying this, it's been driving me crazy trying to find out where I've heard this. I haven't found out /where/ yet, but thanks for providing the song name!
I almost never watch vod videos because I want to support you directly, but when I saw you played this I had to watch that whole vod section and it did not disappoint. Leaving a comment and like for engagement as compensation. Can't wait for future videos of this.
It's very funny to me that I enjoy NL banter so much, but also have like, literal medical anxiety attacks around conceiving of my own death, so every video from him is like, a 20% chance of him responding to someone calling out an obvious bad play with a speech that will inflict heavy psychic damage on me.
i love literally everything about this so far EXCEPT the ball animations. they don't really… bounce? they seem to just kind of wetly slide around instead, which feels significantly less satisfying
I'm getting those "I'm going to be seriously addicted to this game" vibes, like even more so than Balatro because I really like it when the Plinko goes plink!

Erm actually it was a Tumblr post ☝️
"you must sort your salad before proceeding" has been stuck in my head for days .
This video was pretty good wasn't it
just to be interupted by a "just put the ball in the bag bro"

I was honestly so confused by that play. When he started the monologue I was like “that chatter was right though…”

The good ending.
But has he reached the top of Arasaka Tower?

T. Hunk knows ball
I played the game on localthunk's recommendation from over a year ago and it was a lot of fun - it's amazing to see how far it's come!!
huge fan of the title screen
I saw him bussin it down in the trailer and knew I had to buy
Huge fan of the psychic damage it causes NL.
Title screen graphics were so good the actual gameplay graphics was a bit of a let down
@@theplease1099 tbf if the actual gameplay was like that all the time id lose my marbles
@@mrrp405 you kinda already lose your marbles in this game in a way
My man be cutting a damn rug on the title screen.
Him intentionally teleporting the butterfly out of play is killing me
Over and over I'm talking to the screen like this shit is interactive, I played the fuck out of the demo
And also placing the piggies above the bricks as if coins are going to float in there haha
I'm literally an engineer in Stuttgart
Go to work. Be a good citizen.
Go to work bro. Hauptradroute 2 wont build itself
How much did it bother you that he said it SOOO wrong.
Dude is trying so hard just to shoot butterflies through teleporters off the top of the board for no money.
26:20 NL really is the bald philosopher of the modern world.

Hard to imagine a future where an egg who sits in a chair all day and plays endless roguelikes has a publicist and manager but here we are
The dopamine rush just watching ball go bonk is insane
I'm a simple man, I see Northernlion play a new rougelike, I buy it.

Been this way for years, can't help it.
1:10 what an odd thing to say completely unprompted...
luck be a landlord mentioned
Bold game design to use the word bonked so frequently

@jayb8913 yeah, I discovered the artist when they used "Island." Thanks Dan and Arin
37:08 'Just enjoy the vibes' was exactly what I needed to hear at this point in the video
commenter was right though, the wallet is what made him spawn coins
Balatro meets Plinko? It's literally luck be a landlord as plinko
I was thinking it's reverse Peglin
But Ballatro has such marketing momentum.

New series. I can tell this is the birth of our new fave game !
Hello fellow nillionaires
I have student debt does nillionaire include me? or is there a negative version?
Come on, I'm a thousandaire
Nah he definitely threw it when he removed the wallet. It was the trigger giving him all the coin balls.
ReRolling museums just to place anchors killed me too. Plus teleporting his butterflies off the screen. 😢

I'm with them I also love your pfp
@@Nikowo1610 And I love yours!
Holy crap I've been waiting for him to play this for like 3 months its such a good game
Dont know how many more times i can stand hearing NL say "bonked" i gotta be honest
Fun looking game though
What’s wrong with bonked?
25:36 - 28:36 This is literally my favorite NL moment. Especially that bit towards the end of it.
26:55 "really the core of this, is we're all gonna die some day" truly best streamer
"David... Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time."
She Bonk on my ball till I -ionare

I found Ballionaire demo much more addictive than Balatro. This is both a recommendation and a warning.
Were rougelites, of course we get rougelikes confused
Literally no one cares
i care a little 👉👈
I hear Rogue the Bat loves playing rougelikes
If you’re saying this is a rougelite you’re wrong and deranged
i have no idea what the difference is
"youre gonna die someday, pay $2.75 for the guacamole" is peak modern philosophy
18:13 when youre a baby and your dad stops tossing you gently into the air
is no one seeing how butterfly into teleporter is useless since it just flies off screen?
Absolutely a Northernlion game.
I could definitely get addicted to this series!
i love how he says bonked
The problem with this game is that it feels way too random and chaotic when things work.
the gubbins mention is sick, hank green is part of it and some portion of the in-app purchases go to charity, its nice
Damn, I'm really going to have to go see Grayfruit playing this as a replacement for his prior Peggle addiction.
(sadly) s l i c k
NL didn't call him David Miyazaki? We're truly in the end of days
I came for flashy lights and sounds, not a philosophical debate that makes me question my life choices. Thank you Egg Father
when youtube courts balatro videos and doesnt stop going
I needed to hear him say "play is having fun"
Chat: "2 x 0 = 0"
NL: "eventually, everyone dies."
local thunk recommended this months ago
I love the way this game tickles your brain 😂 sending all the right electrical signals
the lil stick guy who dances matches up with nls head and it looks like hes dancing
I was not expecting a stoicism lecture but I love it 😂
He's so back baby.
Came for the funny balls stayed for the life lesson
Hey Eastern leopard just wanted to say loving the content brother keep it up
"The coin is coining" 😅
Scratches the same itch as Luck be a Landlord for me. Thanks Mr. Lion.
"to have regrets is to have acted" Shiiiii thats a bar.
27:15 I honestly really felt what he said here. Thank you NL for helping me stop a negative spiral this morning. ❤
NL existential rants r occasionally what I need, rage at the void
Ennel: It's kino cinemaenjoyer meets that one cool uncle.
I started playing this a few days ago too. Super fun! Glad to see you playing it.
The video compression going crazy when the money falls when he's given a new quota lmao
29:55
Can NL stop playing games that I will probably like? I have bought the last few games he’s played lmao. The psyops are working
Peglin poglin meets Luck Be A Landlord? Oh yeah, it’s gambling addiction time
Like I tell my crew when it isn't a slay the spire upload; another round!
Egg knows ball
most honest disclaimer ever, this is why we love this Egg.
the guy emoting in the title screen is insanely funny to me
I will never get tired of NLs rants
I kind of wish the game had a soundtrack that was as amazing as its visuals.
the impact I just felt on the first frames of this video was insane, what is happening
0:30 end of sponsored segment
I don't know what to make of this game. The sheer chaos makes is absurd.
All ball, no cannon
I been waiting for this one
he did the two brick jump for the bonk
We're Ballionaire girls, of course we don't know what the bit is gonna be yet
We have gazillionaire and now we have ballionaire. What's next gajillionaire? Hondadonkalionnaire? Gorbaslinkatriladonkagazillionaire?
You know Nl, Good on the disclosure!
It is the golden era of NL type of games.
No way he played it, awesome I commented about it like a while back
take a shot every time NL says bonked
19:00 NL: why spawn balls at the top, if you could spawn them at the bottom so that they hit the teleport and get to the top anyways?
all of these items are zooted off the zaza
I remember a Game Jam game that did this a while ago, it wasnt a roguelike tho, still, pretty fun
Oh no I think this game is gonna turn into a type a chatter
25:40 PUT THE FRIES IN THE BAG
I love the philosophies on life. 28:20
Sorry, you have a friend named David Martinez? Like the edge runners character?
This is giving me good levels of dopamine
That's no a bonk, it's a fence.
