I got yelled at for saying I hated dailies on yesterday's video, so I figured I'd come here and say how much I like regular runs. My favorite TH-cam video of the day!
I literally use your videos as a "safety blanket". I get an older isaac video and let it play in the background while I try to sleep and it helps. Not a cure for my insomnia, but it helps.
i dont know if the canadians being really good people stereotype is true but NL is legit a really awesome person, i notice that from the things he says like the blanket talk , like he is almost never judgemental and when he is , he is usually right.! faith in humanity still alive.
Synergy doesn't need an opposite. It's one of those words you always say along with a separate positive/negative. You never say these two things have synergy, you always say these two things have a GOOD synergy, or that they synergize WELL.
8:15 I fall asleep watching these runs mosts nights, I find NL's voice really soothing for some reason considering my Mum refers to him as 'squeaky voice'.
I actually do use isaac runs to fall asleep quite often. There's just so many of them I can't just watch them all and I like listening to someone talking about random stuff... I just have to put the volume low enough so the random screams are just normal level.
NL, it's suuuper funny that you talked about sleeping aids in this episode because your episodes of Isaac help me fall asleep for the past couple of months. I keep the volume low and the game is so dark that it puts me to sleep pretty fast. I also have a weighted blanket (around 25lbs) that is amaaaazing. Highly recommend.
Group projects always scared me because I've never been good talking to people and I don't work well under pressure so I always felt like the stupid one in the group. Now that I'm in a culinary school people keep telling me that I'm smart and ask me for help but I still haven't gotten used to talking to people or explaining stuff in a good way so it's really weird to me and I'm not used to it at all but it feels good to have people value me like this.
I was forced to go to a tech college and I really didn't know what to do so I took something that even if I don't pursue as a career I can still use it in my life.
I love when NL does a speech about doing well in school because it really inspires me to do some schoolwork and stuff, then I'm like, "Maybe his next video also has an inspiring speech." So I don't do any work. Whoops.
Synergy is like having mutual items, so the opposite of synergy is to have competitive items like proptosis and brimstone are competitively working against each other
NL, the buttons make enemies spawn on all exits, so it can help you find secret rooms, and you get hit because you walk towards the exit after hitting the button...
I sleep to your videos every night and if I wake up during the night I put another on/ also I listen to them whenever I am. Doing anything that doesn't fulfill enough of my attention so I'm flying though these videos
I actually cant really fall asleep without listening to your newest isaac episode. So PLEASE dont stop doing that or i am fcked. I dont know why but your Voice and the (random) topics you talk about are so interesting to listen to that i dont Need the visuals and that is perfect for Falling asleep. I really love your vids!
I have woken up to NL yelling in the middle of an Isaac video before but it's mostly the off key singing that wakes me up. I wake up annoyed and saying "you're off key!" Then roll over and go back to bed. Also ryan made me feel 100000 times better for still having a safety blanket at 22. XD
Also, possible antonyms for Synergy might be like opposition, Sabotuer, complication, something to that degree. Like Synergy is two or more things working well together, so an antonym should be like something where one person works against the working together or just nothing working at all. Like usually it's the one thing that throws off the synergy, and that's sabotage to some degree, I imagine. Or just people constantly in conflict, opposition, etc.
I find it funny you talked about things that help you sleep cause I let your isaac videos play to help me sleep I've been doing it for the past year lol
NL I have a safety pillow 😂 and I DO listen to you before I fall asleep. Your voice is so soothing and it feels like you tell a bedtime story 😄 keep up the good work for all of us who likes you and need you in our bedtime rituals 😄
Working in a group project : 1: No one except you is doing work 2: Do everything, tell the others on the group that everything is fine 3: Deliver the project with only your name in it 4: Watch the the others flip the fuck out. 5: Justice
I fall asleep to your vids often and then i have to re-watch them haha but the yelling does fuck me up sometimes lmao. Your voice is soothing i guess. Have a nice weekend NL. Also not a nark, a fair player. Some people just suck and don't try.
I've been in that group before. In class we had a 5 person group. We all had our parts, it was video interviews. 3 of the kids kept making up excuses why they couldn't show us the video but promised they did it. the day came to present, they withdrew from the class without telling us. We almost failed but our professor felt bad and graded us on our parts.
Like when you said a distraction to get to sleep on that NLSS, I immediately was like "Man podcasts really do that for me." So I knew exactly where you were coming from. Star Talk, Billy West Podcast, or Talkin Toons (Rob Paulsen's podcast) for some reason or another just knock me out
I've never viewed synergy as always being positive, you can have positive synergy where the sum is greater than the parts and negative synergy where it's less, so there isn't necessarily an opposite to the word synergy, in my opinion
@14:30 This last week in my Software Engineering class was a group project, and 1 person did just that. We didn't put the person's name on the paper, and mentioned to the teacher that the 4th did nothing, and we had to rush to get the last section of the paper done. I still hope the 4th gets an F on it.
It depends if by the opposite of synergy you mean that two things equal less than the sum of their parts or that two things are entirely non-synergistic i.e. don't synergize at all. In other words 1+1=3 is synergy 1+1=1 is anti-synergy(antergy?) and 1+1=0 is disharmony or "complete fudgery"
Why dont you turn on the charge bars in the options menu? Then you can see if your brimstone or the brimstone of lil brimstone is charged. Also much nicer to look at.
In my first year of college I had a group project where one person just changed the pictures on my slides and another person literally didn't do anything but show up to the presentation to read the conclusions and I called both of them out for it in the middle of the presentation.
I was thinking about turning my life around and spending way more time and energy on school and studying instead of video games and eggs but then NL sang "break me off a piece of that honor roll" and I laughed at my self and started another video.
Yeah, honestly, I didn't try in school because I was so convinced that I was stupid by them because I'm just not fucking good at math. I can do every day stuff, but as soon as crazy algebraic equations are involved I get lost, especially having to remember all of them. I left school, became and automotive technician with PASSION and that has carried me far honestly. I got the positive reinforcement I needed and my education was more than enough to prove to myself overall that I'm not stupid. My basic understanding of arithmetic is a lot more than a lot of people have in this trade. I love preachy NL.
Another feel good story about a project done well... I got my first job out of college because I led a team in CompSci that delivered a system design (we also did a prototype that wasn't required) and the professor was so impressed he asked for my resume and sent it off to his buddy at Boeing. Moral of the story, apply yourself in college and do your damnedest. People are watching and looking for talent.
I'm 32 and have learned those values of working in groups. I also hated it growing up. I think my biggest problem in hindsight is that the teachers never told you why. They never explained communication, delegation of responsibilities, time management, goal-orientation, etc. They never even _tried_, like it wasn't their responsibility to teach anything outside of direct science or math, etc. Kids aren't stupid. If you at least give them the framework, explain these different aspects, and give reasons why each is important, then just maybe the kids can actively try to help themselves in learning it. As it was we sat there in ignorance, awkwardly disliking each other, not having much incentive to succeed. The kids that happened to figure it out on their own have an advantage in adult life. Group management is an entire discipline like any other; you can take classes on it.

'Can't sleep whilst listening to something', bruh NLs Isaac videos are the best distraction to get to sleep
Seriously it really is, I've been doing it for a year now.
Hell yeah, I use him for a mid-day nap. Just lying on my couch, letting his zany commentary drift me to sleep.
If I were to listen to NL's self conversations with my eyes closed, I would fall asleep without any problems.
OJRemiX1 i thought i was the only one 😭
OJRemiX1 Who knew eggs were so good for your sleep.
NL walks into shop, sees Omega Penny, walks out without saying anything.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen...
The Penny Created by the Omega Penny I will rise again normies
I want the zany Egg back
Hurt
I believe in you. I want to see you shine. Just keep pushing to the end my man!
well when the only reason people use an item gets nerfed, the item becomes basically useless xD
you know its gonna be a good episode when NL starts with Ayverybody
yeah the ruan!
You're my safety blanket, egg. :^)
i was gonna like this comment, but you have exactly 69 like
Eggdaddy is my saftey blanket too
I got yelled at for saying I hated dailies on yesterday's video, so I figured I'd come here and say how much I like regular runs. My favorite TH-cam video of the day!
(ditto)
Its amazing how after so many years you can still put out a video every day and have interesting commentary for 30 minutes to a hour.
Wow...the start of the run has one of my favorite spacebar items and my favorite item of all time. Thats amazing XD
I literally use your videos as a "safety blanket". I get an older isaac video and let it play in the background while I try to sleep and it helps. Not a cure for my insomnia, but it helps.
Northernlion. Definitely my favourite youtuber.
Dude it's crazy you're talking about safety blankets. Because your Isaac videos are literally my environmental safety blanket.
i dont know if the canadians being really good people stereotype is true but NL is legit a really awesome person, i notice that from the things he says like the blanket talk , like he is almost never judgemental and when he is , he is usually right.! faith in humanity still alive.

I've been listening to these episodes to fall asleep for a while now actually. NL has a good speaking voice.
NL, it's suuuper funny that you talked about sleeping aids in this episode because your episodes of Isaac help me fall asleep for the past couple of months. I keep the volume low and the game is so dark that it puts me to sleep pretty fast. I also have a weighted blanket (around 25lbs) that is amaaaazing. Highly recommend.
I go to sleep all the time with headphones in and playing music. I find that it helps me sleep better.
Group projects always scared me because I've never been good talking to people and I don't work well under pressure so I always felt like the stupid one in the group. Now that I'm in a culinary school people keep telling me that I'm smart and ask me for help but I still haven't gotten used to talking to people or explaining stuff in a good way so it's really weird to me and I'm not used to it at all but it feels good to have people value me like this.
PraiseDasSun me
Yeah. Never really get to let out my feelings because I tend to be looked down on when I do so so typing this out helps.
What convinced you to go to culinary school? Just asking.
I was forced to go to a tech college and I really didn't know what to do so I took something that even if I don't pursue as a career I can still use it in my life.
Oh ok, that's fine. I Thought you were only majoring in that field.
idk if you know this NL but in the options menu you can turn on "charge bars" to see maw, lung, brim, and other tears that charge. :D
NL I have been listening to your Issac videos to fall asleep for about two years.
NL: talks about having to listen to something to fall asleep
Me: Listens to this to fall asleep
i get back from collage 00:30 and you just posted a new episode everytime, so i just sleep listening the soft egg voice
My safety blanket is your isaac videos to put me to sleep. I wake up with a history full of northenlion videos
NL, you're still on the plane!
I love when NL does a speech about doing well in school because it really inspires me to do some schoolwork and stuff, then I'm like, "Maybe his next video also has an inspiring speech." So I don't do any work. Whoops.
My sleep pattern is to watch NLs runs of the day on my phone right before bed.
I fall asleep to NL playing Isaac... five minutes in, I'm out! Works every time!
Early eggs get the worm
Life skills with NL: Groups and Group work
I fall asleep to your Isaac videos NL, like not in a bad way, it's just good white noise that I can nod off to.
First full episode I've watched in a long time. I'm one of those people who sleeps to your voice.
Synergy is like having mutual items, so the opposite of synergy is to have competitive items like proptosis and brimstone are competitively working against each other
This was really uplifting, inspiring and motivational. Thanks!
I can't fall asleep with out your videos. I put your video on right before I go to bed.
NL, the buttons make enemies spawn on all exits, so it can help you find secret rooms, and you get hit because you walk towards the exit after hitting the button...
I sleep to your videos every night and if I wake up during the night I put another on/ also I listen to them whenever I am. Doing anything that doesn't fulfill enough of my attention so I'm flying though these videos
i fell asleep to this video last night and had to rewatch it this morning
this is funny I literally use your videos to fall asleep because I find your voice relaxing
I actually cant really fall asleep without listening to your newest isaac episode. So PLEASE dont stop doing that or i am fcked. I dont know why but your Voice and the (random) topics you talk about are so interesting to listen to that i dont Need the visuals and that is perfect for Falling asleep. I really love your vids!
to be honest in 2014 i used to only watch these videos when i was trying to sleep. i always fell asleep when the first floor was over
I have woken up to NL yelling in the middle of an Isaac video before but it's mostly the off key singing that wakes me up. I wake up annoyed and saying "you're off key!" Then roll over and go back to bed. Also ryan made me feel 100000 times better for still having a safety blanket at 22. XD
I've been calling asleep with your voice for 4 years straight.. I bet I could pick out your voice from a lineup faster then my own parents! lol
glad to know I'm not the only one who falls asleep to NL's voice.
Soap box was a good one today, something I needed to hear.
I need Issac to fall asleep so bad that i started rewatching the series
Also, possible antonyms for Synergy might be like opposition, Sabotuer, complication, something to that degree.
Like Synergy is two or more things working well together, so an antonym should be like something where one person works against the working together or just nothing working at all. Like usually it's the one thing that throws off the synergy, and that's sabotage to some degree, I imagine. Or just people constantly in conflict, opposition, etc.
I have fallen asleep and made love to the sound of egg daddy's voice more times than I can count
That moment when ur trying to fall asleep while wachting ur videos and u start talking just about that..crazyy
... I fall asleep to these videos every night
I find it funny you talked about things that help you sleep cause I let your isaac videos play to help me sleep I've been doing it for the past year lol
I was literally falling asleep as he was talking about his voice being what people fall asleep to.
Oh my god egg. He is now my favorite youtuber. Hardcore history is amazing.
Nice
NL you and your runs are what help me fall asleep
My safety blanket is nl's video.. his ranting makes me fall asleep
NL I have a safety pillow 😂 and I DO listen to you before I fall asleep. Your voice is so soothing and it feels like you tell a bedtime story 😄 keep up the good work for all of us who likes you and need you in our bedtime rituals 😄
Working in a group project :
1: No one except you is doing work
2: Do everything, tell the others on the group that everything is fine
3: Deliver the project with only your name in it
4: Watch the the others flip the fuck out.
5: Justice
I fall asleep to your vids often and then i have to re-watch them haha but the yelling does fuck me up sometimes lmao. Your voice is soothing i guess. Have a nice weekend NL. Also not a nark, a fair player. Some people just suck and don't try.

We almost failed but our professor felt bad and graded us on our parts.
I always fall asleep to your videos
i actually fall asleep listening to old isaac videos sometimes
I actually use your videos to go to sleep. Your soothing voice helps me drift away. ....
this episode meant a lot to me, thanks 🤝
when talking about items that are the opposite of synergistic the term is Hindrance
Are maw of the void and monstros lung a hindrance to each other?
I'm a physics student, and we laugh at engineers more than we laugh at biologists, although you guys are certainly down there :P
weird thing is that I fall asleep to NL vids often
Dude i sleep only with your videos on, is relaxing
it's so weird hearing northernlion talking about sleeping aids, since he has been my sleeping aid since the saving progress days.
when i fall asleep listening to NL I call it egg asmr
Like when you said a distraction to get to sleep on that NLSS, I immediately was like "Man podcasts really do that for me." So I knew exactly where you were coming from. Star Talk, Billy West Podcast, or Talkin Toons (Rob Paulsen's podcast) for some reason or another just knock me out
i have pavlov'd myself. i used to watch dnd podcasts to fall a sleep. but now i cant stay awake watching them
Would hindrance work as an antonym for synergy?
You have the best advice for life. Definitely makes me think about mine.
I've never viewed synergy as always being positive, you can have positive synergy where the sum is greater than the parts and negative synergy where it's less, so there isn't necessarily an opposite to the word synergy, in my opinion
I use your videos sometimes to fall asleep. And I do have a safety blanket and I am 21 it a bit weird but if it helps you know.
I'm a 23 year old that still sleeps with a stuffed animal. No shame
The Feel when northenlion is my sleeping podcast > u >
@14:30 This last week in my Software Engineering class was a group project, and 1 person did just that. We didn't put the person's name on the paper, and mentioned to the teacher that the 4th did nothing, and we had to rush to get the last section of the paper done. I still hope the 4th gets an F on it.
nl is like the dad i never had. thanks for the life lesson daddy
i have a ringing in my ear and if there is a video of yours that i have not seen, i will fall asleep while watching. Thanlk NL (Egghead)
It depends if by the opposite of synergy you mean that two things equal less than the sum of their parts or that two things are entirely non-synergistic i.e. don't synergize at all. In other words 1+1=3 is synergy 1+1=1 is anti-synergy(antergy?) and 1+1=0 is disharmony or "complete fudgery"
I count Egg's bad plays to go to sleep, luckily I always fall asleep before he gets off of the basement
Why dont you turn on the charge bars in the options menu? Then you can see if your brimstone or the brimstone of lil brimstone is charged. Also much nicer to look at.
if synergy is like multiplying, then isn't the opposite divide? I think that's the closest word there is to the opposite of synergy.
In my first year of college I had a group project where one person just changed the pictures on my slides and another person literally didn't do anything but show up to the presentation to read the conclusions and I called both of them out for it in the middle of the presentation.
NL I'm at UofT and here I have a late penalty of 2% on some assignments, I've even had 1.5% per day before. Sometimes the penalty is like 10% though.
I was thinking about turning my life around and spending way more time and energy on school and studying instead of video games and eggs but then NL sang "break me off a piece of that honor roll" and I laughed at my self and started another video.
I can't sleep unless I hear NL voice at least once that day
Opposite of synergy could be counterintuitive/counterproductive
Yeah, honestly, I didn't try in school because I was so convinced that I was stupid by them because I'm just not fucking good at math. I can do every day stuff, but as soon as crazy algebraic equations are involved I get lost, especially having to remember all of them.
I left school, became and automotive technician with PASSION and that has carried me far honestly. I got the positive reinforcement I needed and my education was more than enough to prove to myself overall that I'm not stupid. My basic understanding of arithmetic is a lot more than a lot of people have in this trade.
I love preachy NL.
i'm surprised he knows that I fall asleep while listening to his voice on the Isaac gameplays
I actually fell asleep watching this exact video last night.
Turn the charge bars on!
I listen to Nl every night while I fall asleep
You have been my safety blanket for a few months now. You do gods works son.
10:14 - the moment you think he realises he left a stone chest but actually the mouse is on the screen -_-
Another feel good story about a project done well... I got my first job out of college because I led a team in CompSci that delivered a system design (we also did a prototype that wasn't required) and the professor was so impressed he asked for my resume and sent it off to his buddy at Boeing.

Would dysfunctional be the opposite of synergistic?

I actually use these Isaac videos to fall asleep with.
I actually regularly fall asleep to this show
