- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มี.ค. 2024
- In this episode of Hermitcraft season 10, Mumbo ranks all of the members of Hermitcraft by their weirdness when it comes to playing Minecraft. Each member of Hermitcraft has a unique (AKA weird) way of playing, and today we are ranking our personal opinions against the audience. This Hermits vs Audience episode was a lot of fun to make! Etho explains his deranged desk setup, Mumbo shifts with his thumb, Grian plays with a 2008 headset, and Joe Hills has a footpedal for sprint.

I’m just left-handed! 😂
And we still love your face
sorry buddy
that's kinda weird
hey at least you get front row seats to one hell of a show. 😂
HE'S A FREAK
@@tociartWas funny
This episode is legendary!
Xisuma!
Thank you for being normal and awesome alike!
No wayyyy 3rd :3
Fr! It was so funny!!
yes
I love how Grian’s headset is possibly older than a sizeable portion of his audience
it's as old as me and that's scary
...yeah...
@@Barrel550 same here 😭
So true! It's at sweet sixteen
Not older than me. Got that headset by 2 years
"I've payed for the whole Keyboard, I'm goin to use the whole Keyboard" Ren, apparently
"Thank you for the invite to this freak show... I'm just left-handed" is absolutely sending me 😭
Best line of the entire video. Absolutely elite.
This is my fav moment from the entire episode🤣
15:30 timestamp
His only crime
SAME xD I actually had to stop the video for a bit to calm down and stop laughing so I wouldn't miss anything 😂
I like the idea that someone gives Mumbo a thumbs up and he gets all self-conscious about his thumb-shifting
Mumbo's thumb doesn't know which way is up. It's contorted into such odd positions that there is no up or down. There is just thumb.
That is my head cannon from now on too
His favorite movie characters are definitely thumb thumbs.
@@mitchib1440in the grim dark world that is mumbo's hand, there is only thumb
@@Nicholas-ze5vv They're his least favorite because they remind him that he's a freak.
I love how this episode shows that not all the hermits have big fancy set ups with tons of equipment. It makes it all feel more attainable. And makes the hermits feel more personable
I love how some hermitcraft episodes are really roleplay and lore heavy and then there’s stuff like this where it’s just a bunch of regular people playing a video game roasting each other’s weird setups
I feel like Empires 1 & 2 were more lore heavy than Hermitcraft, it doesn't even feel like hermitcraft itself is a server where they roleplay but more just pick a theme and stick with it.
@@Thai8521Exactly! I love the empires peeps but i just dont like heavy roleplay smps thats why hermitcraft fits perfectly on my preference
Mumbo: "Where does the microphone come from?"
Cleo: "The staircase is-"
Everyone: "Nah, mate, I'm out."
How nonchalant she is about it is so funny 🤣
@@mingrat8866 it's especially funny because I don't think it's even that weird. Everything she described is like, "So the weird thing she does is lounge on a couch, everything else just falls into place in the most convenient way." Like if the staircase is there, why not prop it there. The only extra weird thing is the cans, but in the end it's just a solid object, that is replaceable and was probably the first thing she found that worked.
TL:DR I think Cleo does only like 1 weird thing, and everything else is just fit into place
@@flameduelit's not that "weird" to do something like Cleo's setup when you're sitting down to play casually, but the fact that Cleo is a full time content creator who spends hours behind a screen is using such a haphazard setup is pretty surprising for sure
@@flameduelyeah i can totally see the viewer ranking going the way it did no matter how much information the audience got. their setup is really just lounging
@@george43to01 and what makes it even worse is that she was a teacher for so many years. How on earth did she manage to do all that schoolwork without a desk ???
Joe is hilarious,
“How do you not go *car noises* everywhere?”
“That’s what the mute pedal is for.”
I also like the name Foot-Pedal-Joe
@@jonistan9268 It's like the modern day descendant of Cotton-Eyed Joe
I wanna know what pedal he has though!
That sounds SO useful for recording purposes!
@@Shenorai I would imagine any of the electric foot pedals that drummers use for their electronic kits
Secret drummer Joe
After learning that mumbo also uses WASD with his index finger, he should be back at the top of the list.
Absolutely. Etho's setup was ergonomics focused, it at least makes sense to prioritize comfort. Whereas mumbo has an ergonomically nightmarish control scheme.
...wait what finger are you supposed to use wasd with
I do that too, and also thumb shift AND I'm also left handed.
@@datechboiring finger on the A, middle finger on W and S, index finger on D?
@@sosukelele yh, when i play mech arena or roblox, my middle goes down and up from w to s whilst the ring is on a and index on d. course thumb in on space and pinky on shift.
15:36 Keralis is so effortlessly funny that Etho drops dead on the spot
Real XD
...Gem just has small hands and Joe is honestly an innovator. Did NOT expect Cleo coming out of left field with *soda cans*.
I have just now rebinded Q to U as I also sometimes throw my sword away when jump scared!
I have to do the same thing as gem. My pinkie physically cannot reach the ctrl key. It sucks when games don’t allow rebinding
Yeah I don’t blame gem at all, I too have small hands. And Keralis has good reason for his weirdness too because he’s left handed.
@@nicksavage567I do that not only when I’m jump scared, but pretty much all the time. I have lost count on how many times I’ve accidentally thrown away a good sword or pickaxe without noticing and lost it forever. I’m seriously considering doing the same thing now after watching this video.
Some keyboards have a hw switch to swap control and caps lock.
Surprised so many of them didn't know about using a pedal for work/streaming.
You could tell who cared about their setup.
Mr. Mumbo "one minute a day on social media" Jumbo returning to Twitter just so he could feel normal about his thumb shift thing is hysterical, Etho's setup really has opened up a can of worms
Agree
Well at least Etho has only ONE can, Cleo has a whole BUNCH of 'em
@@huscarlkt2335 yeah, I already had her in the lower 4 for just the "crosslegged on the couch, with the laptop on my knees". The "I use a tray of cans as a mousepad, and my mic was hanging from a staircase banister behind me" are just extra weird.
@@DyslecticAttack
Honestly, the mic stand isn’t weird.
It’s a very practical setup considering what their station must look like. The banister is a nice, solid, elevated base from which to hang a mic. Better than trying to set up a tripod or c-stand sorta thing for it.
Got nothing for the soda cans though. That’s weird.
@@iout nah, the mic set up is weird. It's functional, inventive, and practical, but it's also weird.
Don’t forget the new realization that Mumbo uses ONLY his pointer finger to control WASD
Man i play the same as mumbo and i thought it was normal and it seems normal even now
Honestly so do i, but thats cuz im missing my midle finger, sooooooo....yeah :)
I'm loving seeing the hermits just doing a lot of casual hanging out together. This season is quickly becoming a favourite.
Etho’s “wait we found another one?!” actually killed me, this is one of the best episodes of Hermitcraft ever
its somewhat due to Etho on a stream with Tango and Scar went around the server finding left handed people.
I love their quest to find the lefties in the server xD
@@saruwatarisa what's the current tally?
@@mel-burnes so far team lefties are: Keralis, Ren and Mumbo... not sure who said it but I believe it was Etho that said there's bound to be two or THREE lefties
"Where's the mic come from??"
"Well.. the staircase was behind me.."
The fact that new unbelievable details are revealed even 21:30 mins in!!!
I would like this but it's at 69 likes
@@strombreakrnot anymore!
I quoted the exact same thing in a comment just now and found this I laughed so freaking hard at that. It had been building the whole episode and I just lost it at them all eagerly waiting for her hopefully normal explanation and then just starting it with the stairs was the funniest thing I have heard in a long time.
lololololololol
@@oz_jones Thanks broham
Mumbo: "I've just embraced the fact that I press shift with my thumb. It's just part of my identity."
Mumbo four days later: Makes video in which he goes to great pains, literally, to break himself of his thumb-shifting and other odd keying habits.
Y'all call this weird, but I am honestly deeply touched at these people and their individual solutions to their problems.
They're not weird, they're beautiful!
15:32 Keralis going "I'm just left handed!" was the funniest thing lmao
You will not believe how many people either A: Don't realize we are left handed, or B: forget that we are left handed.
as a left-handed person, I knew i was about to hear something completely normal and the right handers were going to lose their minds
@@Stormfighter715 Doesn't help that a lot of left handed people conform to right-hand norms because stuff is always made with right-handedness in mind. By now I basically only write with my left hand, and even that is uncomfortable with ring-blocks and messy with fountain pens. I was so glad when we were allowed to use ballpoint pens in school.
@@Heresorikr being left handed is just being ambidextrous except writing I can basically do everything with both hands except write. Use a keyboard and mouse normally.
I mean I am left handed but Keyboard and Mouse is extremely ergonomic even as a lefty and what Keralis does is confusing to me
PSA: You aren't all that weird if you play minecraft on your couch. But if you've been playing for 5+ years, have a recording setup, made it your career, and spent enough money for a vtuber model, the fact that Cleo hasn't upgraded to a desk is absolutely bonkers
Comfort and habit are hard to shift away from, even when you can afford to -- it's like Grian's 20-year-old headphones... I'm sure he can afford the latest and greatest, but he prefers that specific model because he's comfortable with them ^_^
When you find something the works the best for you and it becomes a habit, it's hard to break.
At 14:30 they ask if she has a desk, she said she didn’t used to but she does now, so she eventually did upgrade
@@olencone4005Not only that, but I *totally* get the fear of newer headphone models being downgrades. I feel like a lot of us have that feeling about something. Like, me, I'm very particular about my keyboard and my chair. Not any random gamer-chair will do just because it's made by some cool brand or because it has flashy colors. I've got a backup 'Oversteel' chair that looks super dope, but is as comfortable as a smooth rock, while my old black IKEA desk chair is the comfiest thing I've laid my butt on. And it's really sad when that model you liked gets discontinued. Like, dude, I wish I could order 5 of those IKEA chairs as backup somewhere 'just in case'. 🤣
Cleo also mentioned that she didn’t get a desk until after she moved into her new place. From what she’s said about her old apartment, it did seem like it was a smaller space, and having a desk would take up a ton of space. Also, people point out she has money from minecraft videos and had enough to make a vtuber model, but I feel like that’s very unfair to Cleo to say that. She has mentioned in the past that she was working as a teacher at the same time as being a content creator until somewhat recently. It wasn’t until the last couple of years that she’s gotten her new apartment and got her vtuber model, and has made content creation her only source of income. Just because someone is able to make money from content creation doesn’t mean they’re rich, and often time it’s not enough to live off of. If I’m being honest, I think her set up was actually really smart because it utilized her probably limited space well and was comfortable on top of that.
Gem: Sprint as Caps lock, F5 as R
False: I as inventory
Grian: Inventory with F, 2008 headsets
Joehill: Footpedals to sprint and controls, drop is -
Keralis: Left handed, shifts with thumb, jumps with pinky
Renthedog: E as forward, x as backwards, a as left, f as right
Impulse: Inverted mouse controls
Mumbo: Shifts with thumb
Zombiecleo: Couch gameplay, dangles mic from staircase
Ethos: Kleenex box as mic stand, keyboard up until elbows, sideways mouse, mousepad as wrist rest
Watching this now is even funnier having seen Mumbo's video about trying to fix his thumb shifting only to realise he was also just using his index finger to press wasd.
So to recap,
Mumbo's hand breakdances on his keyboard
Cleo is the comfiest hermit, but her mousepad is technically explosive
Keralis is in denial
Impulse is MLG pro from 2008, which is also where Grian gets his headsets.
Joehills is just a drummer, but he may not realize it
Grian is a headset hoarder
Ren has the largest hands of any human person
False is just a lil quirky, and Gem is just a lil too good at the game.
And Etho is... Etho.
I’d like to argue that Ethos is TOO Etho-
I think Ren is actually onto something. He just moved his middle and index fingers 1 button right and got like 3 additional buttons to use without moving his hand + that's actually more comfortable than WASD. I might switch to that as well.
@@shap_po Yeah, you're right. And knowing Ren's raw skill, this worries me - new server king incoming??? (this is joke 😁)
As a thumbshifter myself, it is *not* break dancing on the keyboard. It is actually quite comfortable. The only problem is crouch jumping.
Love this comment!
"Well that's what the mute pedal is for" 😂😂😂😂 I think I might've been sleeping on joehills. I need to make time to watch his videos too it seems
That completely sent me while editing
Joe is a true delight.
This hahahahahaha
I feel like Mumbos replying more often to comments- nice that he is engaging with the community a bit
A must watch is a video from season 9 right before Christmas during the cross over. When he’s hang out with oli from the empires smp lol.
Etho’s elbows on the desk thing is not that weird having it clearly explained now. It is better for your wrist.
It is the tissue box and mouse that is weird. 😂
where can i see this clip?
I honestly love learning little things about the Hermits like this, it reminds us that they're all different people with complex lives who've come together to enjoy minecraft- and that's what I love about the Hermitcraft server, the variety of cool people having fun together :D
I would like to point out, that a few years ago when Impulse first got his foot pedals, he was so exited that he bound all sorts of functions to them. During streams he would then raise his arms above his head, and shout at chat: I DID THAT WITH MY FOOT!!!!
he still does this
They didn't mention this on the video, I think it may have bumped him and Joe at least a spot lower in weirdness
Impulse is so wholesome sometimes
Grian " how are you not constantly making car noises "
Joe " that's what the mute peddle is for " ❤❤❤
Underrated part of the video lmao
really witty response
@@mrfahrenheit677frfr
i love joe lmao
The cleverness of Joe Hills!!!💖🌟💖
So using this knowledge that mumbo uses his thumb to shift, this means, in PVP, you're at a slight advantage attacking from HIS right side, because it will more uncomfortable for him to move at the opposite direction for him to keep facing you.
I love how this was a 2-minute clip in Etho's video but the whole context makes it so much better
Mumbo saying "This is what happened when you make a left-hander conform to a right-handed society" as everyone in line stares at him is hilarious.
It's also a little morbid, given how lefties used to literally be beaten and chained for writing with the "wrong" hand.
@@stan8479yeah I’m a lefty and as I was learning how to write, my mom would constantly switch my hands trying to make me right handed
I'm a lefty, and one that my parents gave a semi-hearted attempted at changing. The stark reality is that (barring a load of money for a wide range of unique products) lefties are just required to be somewhat ambidextrous in society. Growing up ('90s), it never even occurred to me that I could be using the mouse with my left hand because you just didn't see that as a possibility. As funny as what Mumbo said was, it's actually kinda accurate.
As a lefty I can confirm that it's true.
Scar was indeed correct😂
Mumbo: Disappears close to 2 weeks. Comes and drops the funniest video of Season 10 with 0 Effort.
HEY! That podium didn't build itself!
No not even close
@@glueguntabletop I'm saying It's funny with out even trying to be this funny, Just like X's Professional Minecrafters
That's just Mumbo for ya
Huge amount of effort behind the scenes to schedule hermits who live in multiple time zones. Plus, he did a Twitter poll or something before the episode.
What I learned today: Get yourself and your setup comfortable.
Experiment to see what works best for you.
I gotta admit... after lots of laughter I did try out Etho's mouse/keyboard setup and its super relaxing on my shoulders... I already have my keyboard pushed far back on my desk because I so often do other things with my desk space, and with a full keyboard there isn't always room for my mouse on the right side of the keyboard so I just keep it in front... bonus points for when I'm gaming for a while I move my water glass with its straw to the middle so I don't have to take my hands off anything to stay hydrated. Huh. I do like 80% of the Etho setup.
Get these aliens out of this planet
(Btw this is a joke for those twitter guys)
Grian whining abot his age and then Etho just quietly going "but I'm older than you" killed me.
Timestamp?
@@jdotleaf4:19
etho actually said "that's almost older than you" referring to the headset grian's been using, meant as a joke lol bc it's def not
@@moonyy24683 yeah i think he was making fun of gem for being younger than him lol
I can CONFIRM that if we had gotten all that extra context about Cleo’s setup, I absolutely would’ve rated them higher 😂 (the soda cans are WILD)
where was the video/context for the ranking?
@@whiteclaww4423twitter, I think
@@whiteclaww4423I'd also like to know, somehow completely missed it
@@whiteclaww4423 Mumbo came back to Twitter in order to do this poll but it wasn't advertised anywhere on TH-cam
@@whiteclaww4423 Mumbo hosted a poll on twitter. It didn't mention the cans or the stairs.
I am also a thumb-shifter
which is why my sneak-button is my Mouse Button 4 (so technically I still sneak with my thumb, just the other one).
Some more of my unusual binds:
- sprinting: E
- inventory: R
- zoom: Mouse Button 5
- F5: ^ (the button to the left of 1)
I played this episode randomly and I love how it's just unproductive but so much more fun when they be roasting each other, laughing and doing nothing XDD
21:47 "where does the mic come in?"
"well the staircase behind me"
I laughed louder than I have in a very long time Cleo You are absolutely a new favorite for me to watch lately thanks for this mumbo!
“Well the staircase behind me” caught me off guard. It was hilarious.
RIGHT? LIKE SHE HAS A WHOLEPODCAST MIC RIG STRAPPED TO THE STAIRCASE SO SHE CAN PLAY COMFY 😂 what an icon lmao
I came to hermitcraft on season 8 because I was bored at the time and knew little about it and saw that it was a new season and i gave it a try, now i'm watching more and more hermit (especially while i'm eating) and it leaded me to watch some of theirs other videos too... So I think Mumbo interacting in some weird way with the other is making me want to watch their prospective (or then there are pranks happening to see the reaction) and I tend to linger on their channel a little longer xD (currently behind in Stress' episodes)
So I hope the futur is full of other weird/funny interactions xD
@@DeadsTBD that's kinda how we all fall into the hermitcraft hole. We find one hermit then they interact with someone, we like them so we watch their episodes and series and youllend up watching 27 hermits in no time 😂
@@crunchevo8974 haha that's also how i ended up from watching another youtuber to having a steamer that put the VOD on TH-cam and now having a video playing at all time as they stream quite a lot (still skip some content as its not for me)
Etho’s setup is making me question his sanity
I do the same thing it’s good
Well he’s a hermit… hermit are not that sain…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is a redstoner. What sanity 😂
Nah, it makes perfect sense if you have had carpal tunnel. Your arm gets burning pain after using a mouse too much so if you can reduce that discomfort even a little bit it's a life saver
He plays Minecraft, of course he isn’t sane 💀
I RELATE WITH YOU MUMBO ,i also use the thumb shifting technique. the pinky is too long to press shift and lifts the whole hand off the keyboard when the shift is pressed which cause it sometimes to be lifted off automatically.
i also have big hands [long fingers]
Been watching since season one. This is the best episode so far of the best season yet. Props Mumbo.
Grian: "I feel like I'm _not_ that weird."
Everyone: *_(DOUBT)_*
The headset thing just sounds like all my neurodivergent friends with sensory issues. “Yeah I can only wear this specific face mask so I got in contact with the manufacturer in India to buy 1000 of them so I never run out”
@@NumbabuAdditionally, I don't think that it has anything to do with the way he plays Minecraft. It's just his headset, it's a general thing about him. The only thing I'd factor in for Minecraft-weirdness is the keybinds he mentioned and they're not that strange. Also at this point I think it's weird to have drop item on Q and sprint on Ctrl because both are super inconveniently placed. I haven't played Minecraft for quite some time myself but I'd place sprint on CapsLock too I think. The only annoying thing about that it's the CapsLock key and not a key that doesn't do anything. A friend of mine thought this to be a problem too, so he put sneaking on the still unused F (this was before dual-wielding) so he could put sprinting on Shift. I don't know which button he uses to swap hands now, but I do know that his in-game character is left-handed (he isn't in real life), I think his reasoning was that this makes the game easier to see for a right-eye-dominant person. I tried this once too, really weirded me out, turns out I'm left-eye-dominant.
@Numbabu It's also pretty standard for gamers with limited funds to use older, cheaper equipment instead of constantly upgrading. I mean, I still use a pair of the original SkullCandy Hesh wired headphones from nearly 15 years ago that still work fine, while three different replacement models have broken down after just a few months of use -- it really doesn't seem strange to me to be using outmoded equipment when it works fine, and having backups seems reasonable when the items aren't made anymore.
@@NitrinoxusSmart! I used to use cheap skullcandy wireless headphones, but I got marginally more expensive ones after I realized I would need to replace those all the time. The increase in quality is probably still worth it even if the lifespan is the same and I can totally see myself replacing these with an identical pair XD
@Numbabu What's _mad_ is, one of the replacement headphones was the _new_ version of the SC Hesh headset I have, the one they started selling when they discontinued the original Hesh 1.0. Lasted a little over four months before the casing connecting the left earphone to the headband snapped clean through.
The other two were pricey, studio-grade wireless ANC headphones, and neither lasted three months -- one cracked open, the other just lost all audio in one side. So either there's a range of newer models that aren't built to the same standards as a decade ago, or the manufacturers _really_ don't expect you to use their products every day.
I feel like there's even more context missing about Etho's setup.
In the clip with Tango and Scar, he mentions that his desk is *almost level with his shoulders*. He's not just resting his elbows on the desk, he's got his chair at its lowest height setting so he doesn't have to lean down to have his elbows and forearms flat on the desk.
Try it for yourself, see how low you have to go for you to have your entire forearms in contact with the desktop while keeping a straight back. And imagine having your mouse sideways in front of the keyboard, keeping the wrist straight and instead moving your hand from the shoulder and elbow. Then imagine looking up at your monitor from that low perspective and having a tissue box with a microphone partially in the way so you can't even see your keyboard.
He really deserves his own category.
He's tall tho
His new ep included a real life photo
@@ionmeth2031 Yeah I saw, the chair and desk position didn't look very strange there. If anything, it looked like it might be a pretty low desk. Maybe I misunderstood what he meant.
As a short person where the desk height naturally put my elbow and entire forearm straight on the desk, it also naturally put my keyboard and mouse exactly where etho describe his simply because ergonomically it is the most comfortable for my wrist for a prolonged use 😂 so honestly etho isnt that weird to me but mumbo, who sacrifice his thumb sounds weirder
Honestly the more I think about Etho's setup it kinda seems comfy and something I may try out due to my neck pain
adding my own weird setups ro to the mix: I use Q as my sprint key. R is for drop item, C for zoom, E for inventory, Shift for Shift. I use the two thumb buttons on my mouse as hotkeys for inventory slots 8 and 9, because i keep my water bucket in slot 9 for clutches, and either food or torches in slot 8, so i can switch over to it quickly and then back to 1-4, where i keep my tools
I keep coming back to this video... this might be my favorite hermitcraft episode of all time
Same. I also play this a lot to help sleep after work.
One of the funniest Hermitcraft videos I can remember 😂
15:30
“First of all thank you for the invite to this freak show.
I am just left handed.”
Floored me 🤣🤣🤣
Nah i get it, for the longest time, i use to play using the arrow-keys instead of WASD. I an also left handed, i never understood
Yeah I seldom laugh out loud on TH-cam vids but gosh darnit they got me 🤣
It’s like alcoholics anonymous but you shame the person.
While also thinking that you've done nothing wrong yourself
@@jakko_ exactly, it really makes you look inwards.
I also coincidentally have my throw item on “-“ because I used to play Hypixel Skyblock and I always accidentally pressed “q” and once I lost a Livid Dagger so I changed it to the other side of my keyboard
Not gonna lie, this may be my favourite episode of Hermitcraft of all time. I really love just seeing you guys have fun and learn new things about each other
I really respect the comfort of Cleo's lounging and Etho's mousepad cushion
Also no desk. You do what you can.
I use an old hoodie folded up underneath my elbows. So comfortable.
Me too, I play sitting in a big armchair, no desk it's very comfy
Yeah, Cleo's setup sounds pretty comfy -- a friend of mine uses a super-soft LazyBoy recliner as his gaming chair and does something similar. I tried it once, and yeah, I can totally see gaming like that... well, till I fall asleep mid-game cause it's so comfy haha! ^_^
"I'm not that weird"
"I batch ordered a ton of these discontinued headphones so I never run out."
In fairness, audio products that are very good tend to age extremely well, it sounds like they wear out rather quickly(once a year.) Its not like clothes that he might grow out of.
in all fairness, the weirdest thing is justifiable. comfort
A
A
I see nothing weird with that tbh, if they're comfy why order anything else? It's like Tom Scott's batch of red t-shirts he orders
This has got to be one of my favorite hermit craft episodes/collaborations of all time. Kudos to all you weirdos! (I use my thumb to press shift as well as x which I rebound as my sprint key)
15:40 I love Keralis’ face here. It genuinely looks like he’s so shocked and appalled at how all the other hermits play the game he’s just jaw dropped in awe 😂😂😂
Joe's setup is not just normal, but _enviable._
Cleo really is my kindred spirit-I play Minecraft on a couch with keyboard and trackball sitting on a 2x4 which lies across my knees.
Remapping the inventory and throw keys is not just normal but logical.
Even Grian is relatable with his lifetime supply of _The Perfect Headset._
The only weirdos I saw on that poll were Mumbo and Etho.
Joe: same
Cleo: I also currently play from my couch. Laptop on my knees and use my mouse (without a mousepad, and the mouse is an ergonomic one so my hand is basically on it's side) on the arm
Impulse and skizz was strange until I found out it was because they used to play helicopter games or something and got used to those controls
Keralis: makes sense because he's left handed
Ren: kinda weird but also makes sense and if I tried it, I'd probably get used to it
All the other key remapping is fine, I remapped a lot of my keys, including the use and attack which I changed to keys for a while and only recently changed them back to mouse clicks. Oh, and I've swapped sprint and crouch so sprint is shift and crouch is cntl. I would have used caps lock for sprint if I could disable caps lock,
Mumbo: I still don't really get why he started doing that
Etho: I don't know what's going on (although I do appreciate wanting to keep the elbows on the desk. I try to do that when I do use a desk, it is very comfortable)
@@lisahenry20Yeah, inverted controls just makes sense if you come from flight sims. I use the _Do A Barrel Roll_ mod and have pitch inverted.
I also have seen WASD macro pads explicitly for lefties and people with big hands, so literally no judgement there.
You use a TRACKBALL????
Cleo was alright until the mic hanging from the stairs came in the picture :p
@@MaidenOfAirKensington Expert. *Massive* ball. Not only can I do super precise movements, but I can spin the ball to do a 360. Plus: no need to worry about even surfaces, mousepads or anything like that.
The "I am just left handed" was the funniest thing ever
This was one of the most entertaining episodes I've ever seen XD Excellent job, and thank you for the video!
I always get called weird because I change crouch to the R key. But the reason why makes total sense.
I have joint problems, so I can't press left shift or left control with my pinky without my ring finger coming off the A key. Which makes things quite difficult. So I just bind it to a key a lot easier for me to press.
Every time I get a new instalation or borrow someone's computer I fall off everything because I can't crouch.
Grian: Old headset, F key for inventory
Mumbo: Thumb for normal shifting
Ren: Everything is spaced out
False: I key for inventory
Etho: Tissue box holds the microphone, the keyboard is up the desk for his other arm to just lay on the table and hold the mouse sideways and his mouse pad is used for his elbow not for his mouse
Gem: Sprint is caps lock and F5 is R for easier reach
Joe: Foot pedal sprinting/mute/obs, Minus to throw items
Cleo: Couch, Keyboard on the knees while crosslegged, mouse is on a soft drink can flat, mic is from the staircase behind?!?!?
Keralis: Left handed so the setup is inverted
Impulse: Foul inverted mouse, Sprint with the mouse side button
Edit: fixed some minor mistakes
Correction: gem has sprint on caps lock. Also with cleo I think she was saying her couch is under the staircase and so her mic hangs down from the stairs above her
I'm assuming Cleo has a folding mic arm with a clamp, and has it clamped to the stairs behind her. At least that's how I interpreted that. (I'm almost positive she said, "The staircase is behind me," at 21:48.) It actually makes a lot of sense to have the mic clamped to something you won't shake while playing.
My order:
NOT WEIRD AT ALL AND BORDERING ON GENIUS, EVEN
- Joe: That's just genius. Like, seriously. I think I'm gonna try to get something like a footpedal or streamdeck now. It just sounds so convenient.
- Grian: When he said those words, I died a little inside at the fact I didn't buy myself a whole crate of Roccat Kova mice. I loved that mouse to death and I will never forgive Roccat for discontinuing it. Though I should move on at this point. The accident really wasn't my fault.
- False: I for Inventory is my old MMO bind. It's definitely not an uncommon MMO bind, because you need the space around WASD (or ctrl/shift/alt/zxc if you're a Maplestory player). That space is at a premium and it's hard to break that old habit.
- Gem: In the quest for ergonomics, forgivable. Small hands suck.
- Keralis: Yeah, he really is just left handed. That's still a pretty bad setup, man. He should try using the num pad.
- Impulse: Very specific gamer setup. Forgivable. Would destroy anyone else who tried to play on his PC though.
- Cleo: Just seems like she had a period where she couldn't get a desk/normal PC setup and just never got out of it. Please break the habit.
- Mumbo: Atrocity. Other people exist with big hands and they do it the normal person way.
- Rendog: If his binds were something like RDFG instead of WASD, forgivable. There's some MMO nuts out there who do those binds. What he does, unforgivable.
- Etho: What
THE WORST EVER
Everyone Cleo and below, I can see why they do the things they do. Mumbo and up are the only ones that are properly weird.
@META_mahn I don't even have big hands but thumb shifting is basically the only thing on this list that I do
I do the impulse sprint
I kinda understood grian on the headset thing, once youve got the perfect one, you dont look back on anything else till its all gone
yes! i am all the same. my partner needed a few years to understand but got there :D
genuinely yeah, as an autistic person with sensory issues i understand completely
Its crazy cause even his headset's older than alot of Grian's viewers haha
As an autistic person, I completely get his viewpoint. If I wasn’t forced to change stuff I would never change anything good.
i need a pic of that, just to get an idea.
Hands down one of the best episodes ever, I cant remember crying of laughter from recent years. Absolutely amazing 🤣
For Ren, the most confusing part is X as move backwards... I would think S or D would make much more sense for keeping the hand relaxed and ready for "FPS ownage"
Mumbo: "This server is full of _weirdos!"_
Everyone who's watched Grian lately: "...you don't know the _half of it."_
What happened?
@@delvinmichaels7987 I could try to explain, but it's probably faster to just watch his videos this season if you want to understand his slide into madness.
@@delvinmichaels7987 two words. "Mending Book"
@@namikkouThat’s not exactly weird. He was trying to get the book through one method only. He was self limiting. This is no different than trying to get every achievement. It’s simply a goal.
@@Bob_Smith19Yeah, but he was so over odds it is insane.
honestly, joe's setup is golden, 0% weird, i wish i had a foot pedal to sprint it would be so convenient. Impulse and skizz are also not super odd, it just reflects an older age of gaming when they ruled the skies as the chopper bros
100% weird
the only weird thing about impulse is that it carries over to mouse controls, I have inverted controls only for controllers
@@DragN_H3art him and skizz used to be big into CoD back in the day (on pc i think) and the helicopter controls were inverted and that just carried over to everything else. Its all explained in one of their early podcast episodes
I think having a foot pedal to sprint (like you're accelerating a car) is super clever. It would take some time getting used to, but it would be good for your legs too!
I unironically wish we would start incorporating feet into our setups. It kind of feels like Joe is just 10-20 years too early.
this brought a lot of nostalgia to me and my dads gaming setup when i was a kid. we had almost no furniture, and had to come up with some strange work arounds. I'm pretty sure I was using a 4 foot tall concert speaker as a table at one point. great video!
As a game developer, I tell you: inverted mouse controls have to be in the option settings for any kind of FPSish game! Otherwise its pitchforks and torches in the forum on release date..
As someone who didn't have a desk back in the day I used to game on my couch. And due to a finger injury when I was young, I press shift with my thumb. Setting different key binds is not weird and either is left handedness or comfy headsets. All I'm trying to say is, people have different play styles, and there's an Etho.
I do both of those things, my thumb is just generally the most comfortable thing to press shift
Impulses result surprised me, almost all games have an "invert mouse" setting.
If it's built in the game and a click away it's not weird.
@@ImDepressedLol Muscle memory takes over a lot. I can switch between controls fairly easily but after a while its extremely difficult lol
@@Sawyernilsson it's comfy for me too
If your shifting with your thumb is because of an injury that formed a habit then that makes sense
"Thank you for inviting me to the freakshow, i am just left handed" - that was sooo good :D
This was the line of the season so far.
that and "thats what the mute pedal is for"
My weird keybinds are
Inventory on Tab
Sprint on mouse side key (back)
first hotbar slot (Sword) on mouse side key (front)
And something that may put me up on a mumbo level weird is:
I sometimes use my VR Headset, sit in a virtual cinema and then play Minecraft with my VR Headset sitting in this Virtual Cinema on the Bigscreen
Joe using foot pedals reminds me of a reddit story I saw years ago. This guy had a foot pedal for push-to-talk in FPS games. Then he learned to drive. He was stopped at a red light and his passenger said something to him. As he went to reply, his muscle memory kicked in and he slammed on the accelerator to talk... (he crashed the car)
lowkey funny
How is that possible? Wasnt he taught to hold the brake down while stopping at a light?
Thought that was normal.
@@tobiasbayer4866holding the brake down is actually wrong, you should apply the handbrake as to not dazzle drivers with your brake lights or hold it with the clutch if you won’t be waiting long and on a small hill
@@Insertnamehere662
How bright are your brake lights?
Idk I was taught to do it that way in driving school and everyone I see at a red light has their brake lights, so it cant be that wrong.
Also handbrakes are only for inclines but I guess you could also do it additonaly.
But yes, putting it in neutral while stopped is obviously the safest.
@@tobiasbayer4866 But 99% of people are driving automatics nowadays, which do put you in neutral when you're stopped anyways.
etho: angles everything perfectly
gem: reasonable changes
joel: THROTTLE SAMIR THROTTLE...
You are breaking the car Samir, we will not finish.
@@arianheight750 Shaddap. Don't tell me how to drive.
this video has made me feel better about how i hit the shift and ctrl key with the side of my left hand most of the time. i have very short fingers which makes it difficult to maneuver them to the proper position needed to actually hit shift and ctrl, so it's usually a lot easier to tilt my hand to get where i need to go. im also a writer and im honestly more accustomed to quickly needing to hit ctrl to change between regular and italic text. if i need to hold down shift, i do usually force myself to use my ring finger, if only to have a bit more stability.
I think I might have all of them beat. All of my weird things come from when I was little and played on a laptop (which I still do most of the time), but I move with the arrow keys, q is d, I sprint with s, sneak/shift is right shift, f5 is now p, and 99% of the time I'm playing laying down in bed.
The pedal is the LEAST weird thing here. It’s honestly brilliant and I don’t know why we’re not all on our way to buy computer pedals right now. Cars use pedals, sewing machines use pedals, pianos use pedals, you play parts of an organ with your feet! We should all be adopting computer pedals for gaming and I’ll die on that hill.
There's a story of someone using a left pedal to push to talk, going to talk to someone whilst driving and axcellerating and crashing their car.
Still weirder than just being left handed.
Honestly Joe has the right idea here, especially using foot pedals for OBS controls, it makes sense
@@andrewwebb917 the right thing to do is just never, ever use your computer pedals on the right foot. Ideally 😂
So you're saying you'll die on Joe's Hill
17:15 I love how Etho is happy to know Mumbo is third left-handed hermit on Hermitcraft!
Southpaws ftw
It makes more sense that mumbo is so high when you realize he does WASD with his index, lol
4:06 Grian… his headset is the same age as me, it’s 16 years old in 2024, that headset could drive.
Keralis saying "i'm just left handed" after the abominable stories of all the other hermits got me real good
Keralis' deadpan, ALMOST HUMORLESS, "well thank you for the invitation to this freakshow" made me CACKLE at work
I play with “C” bound to crouch, “Shift” to run, “Tab” for inventory and “R” to drop items
I think this is my favorite episode of hermitcraft, I love the interaction between hermits with real life quirks. And as usual amazing work Mumbo!
This episode had me dying laughing, but Keralis coming up and saying "I am left-handed" absolutely got me laughing along with everyone else. It was such perfect comedy
The part before that where he stepped up and was like "first off thank you for inviting me to this freak show" had me dying 😂
@@darknesswave100 The whole thing is comedy 😂
Naaah getting called old by etho is lethal 😂 he's the reason everyone else on that podium is playing the game 😂
I have q as sprint, mouse button 1 as inventory slot 1, 1, as slot 2, 2 as 3, 3 as 4, 4 as 5, 5 as 6, x as 7, c as 8, v as 9. R as third person, and f as throwing. I also use mouse button 2 for sneaking, (both mouse button 1 and 2 are on the left side of the mouse).
Back when I first started with Minecraft, I used a Logitech Attack 3 joystick because I played MechWarrior 3 so much. Y-axis was look up and down, X-axis turn left and right, trigger was break/punch/use tool, jump was button 4, crouch was button 6, the throttle had a macro where 0-50% was walk or sneak if 6 was press, 51-100% was run, place block/open was 3, inventory was button 7, it was a mess but it worked till I could adjust to keyboard and mouse controls. Now I just use a mini-partial keyboard with pretty standard controls.
“As I sprinted over here I used my foot petal”
As someone that doesn’t watch Joe, that made me laugh WAY too hard 😂😂
Honestly not having to use your hand at all to sprint is clever.
It feels perfectly natural for him though imo.
when I saw Joe Hills in that lineup I literally thought "he's going to say that he plays with his feet or something lol" I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO BE RIGHT
Never underestimate joe ❤
oh that was brilliant and I loved it. I kinda wish id screenshot what i picked to figure out my ranking vs yalls and the average.
That was great!
I can imagine how fun it would be to hangout like that, and it was great fun to watch as well
Every hermitcraft season must have one episode that is legendary.
- Season 6: Civil war
- Season 7: Etho's shady e-e's free glass episode
- Season 8: Tango's tree prank
- Season 9: Grian and Scar destroying Doc's tunnel bore
- Season 10: This episode
Season 4: Logfellas (Xisuma & Rendog) Court Trial
Perfect
Covering Doc's hole (or Doc's reaction) has a good argument
What even happened before season 6 besides 15 new members coming and going per season because they never posted a video? Lol.
@@mattyiceeThat really only applies to season 1 and 2
This might very well be the funniest Hermitcraft episode I've ever watched. I don't know what else to say; it just radiated so much "chaotic fun" energy while heavily tapping into the social aspect of the server, which has to be one of, if not the most essential element of Hermitcraft (especially when considering how incredible the social dynamic is between everyone).
I really enjoyed it as well. I really really appreciate mumbo just riding through hermit craft not grinding too hard you know? Making sure fun is the top priority is truly the best decision he has made for himself and for us!
This honestly felt like something I would have expected Grian to do rather than Mumbo, he sure has changed from his earlier Hermitcraft days where if you only watched his POV it was like watching a singleplayer world with rare, brief adventures into the shopping area and other central hubs
Who knew *Hermit*craft works better when everyone does stuff together instead of being hermits?
It's all in the way Keralis came in with "I'm just left-handed!"
This was amazing 😂😂
This was such a genuinely fun episode. Absolutely fantastic.
I'm weirder than all of these hermits.
I put my laptop on my bed, facing slightly left.
My chair is shorter than my bed like 4 centimeters.
My chair facing straight, I face my laptop from the front, so I'm also slightly left.
I "sit on" my chair like, most of my body is dangling off of my chair and my belly is on the edge of my bed, so my stomach slightly hurts.
The controls are W = Forward, X = Backward, S = Jump, K is Sneak, because I used to play MCPE, and A and D are the same, OptiFine Zoom is on Z, Use Block is R, Break Block is O, and M = Pick Block. I only use the mouse if I'm placing or breaking blocks, I put my phone, iPad, anything that I use to watch videos while I'm playing Minecraft on the mousepad, so I use mouse regularly if I'm watching videos while playing Minecraft. Are you as weird as I am? My stomach is so uncomfortable, that it's comfortable, you know?

thank you time stamp andy
Grian's box of headsets makes perfect sense to me. Considering the way companies change/discontinue perfectly good items.
Honestly! As an autistic, if I knew something I use and really like is being changed or discontinued, I would definitely buy a whole bunch of it to last me 😭
So I really relate. Doesn’t stop a whole box of headsets from being wired tho lol
Well, I'm left-handed as well and I also use my left hand for my mouse, but my hands being so close together bothered me so hard that I transfered the controls to the other side of my keyboard. This and the fact that I've got a german keyboard result in the following controls:
forward - p
backward - ö
left - l
right - ä
shift - #
sprint - right shift
drop item - o
inventory - ü
i switched sprint to shift, sneak to Q, and lastly drop item to R, and then my ring finger goes to shift
it makes so much sense to me, sprint is always shift, and i would always drop items on accident too, and sneak is right next to W
I love how everyone was caught up on Cleo’s soda cans while ignoring that her Mic is on the staircase *behind* her couch. That means that this whole desk set up for her monitor and the couch are arranged where either the desk is sitting in the middle of the room, the entire set up is crammed into a small hallway, or she basically has a boom mic reaching across the room, all three of which are hilarious.
From what little we heard about the mic setup, I'd imagine her couch back is against the side of the staircase, and the mic is strapped to the staircase railing. Probably with some kind of rod thing so that the mic is in front of her mouth and can be rotated out of the way.
As for the entire setup, she said she doesn't have a desk. This makes me think that she actually plays on a large TV that's across the room, with possibly another smaller screen somewhere closer. So it doesn't need to be crammed, in the middle of the room, or a boom mic.
