This was taken from my stream on August 31st 2022! Catch me live Monday to Friday here: / northernlion When I don't know what to play, I play Sporcle. It's perfect!
The car quiz actually makes a lot of sense if you know cars, because its too easy if its the whole car. People can identify what type of car a bolt comes from just by looking at it, if they're in deep enough. When I was 8, identifying cars was my roadtrip time killer. If I could see anything I'd try to guess it and then as I could see more I'd check if I was right. Sections of brake lights, top of the roof, a spoiler or wing, a wheel, etc.
The film director quiz is the highest density of people who I know by name but have no clue what they look like. I could have gotten Clint Eastwood, Quentin Tarantino, and Spike Lee. Otherwise, I was clueless. It was weird. How does NL have room for all that useless info in his brain?
8:00 - I also get that a lot with my glasses. I was once in a dark lecture hall looking at a game assignment some of my class mates had made. It featured a black background with purple objects on top. My glasses separated the blues and reds in the purple so I was essentially watching two separate images; one blue and one red.
40:15 didn’t expect NL to know Animal Collective by image, then he goes and just name drops Panda and Avey Tare. What doesn’t this man know? He can even name a woman.
@birds of course, they’re like THE hipster Pitchfork band of the 2010 era or whatever. Just didn’t figure NL to be one who knew the member’s aliases. Makes me hope he enjoys their work.
41:20 is honestly the most savage burn on any band like Three Days Grace, esp. with the "these guys are dressed like Weezer in 2005" follow-up. Merciless.
very upset that the causes of death quiz didn't go until it got to deaths due to shaking vending machines or deaths due to large TV's because even thought it's only about 2 per year, i suspect it would be excellent fuel for the banter engine
In a weird moment of serendipity, the moment NL clicked on and said “Lauen Hill,” the very first beat of the song “That Thing” played on the radio … And then Mariah Carey was in the same quiz, and I’m literally on my way back home from Cedar Point where right before I got on “The Gatekeeper” coaster, a train completely empty except for Mariah Carey and her kids pulled into the station. They reserved her a whole train 🤣
Finally a shout out to us Spanish watchers, I'll take advantage of the spotlight and ask for more Isaac and Chess content (unless you don't enjoy it, never do things you don't enjoy chat). Have a nice week
I work at a financial institution, we only get Holidays when the stock market is closed. That means no Good Friday, 1 day for Thanksgiving, 1 day for Christmas. This year we didn't get New Years Day because it was on a weekend and wasn't observed by the stock market.
Lenscrafters has been moving away from the 1 hour glasses thing a bit. It used to be like 75% of the time you would get it in 1 hour, but now with a lot of new technology and variety of lenses, it has made it a lot harder to stock everything. So a lot of the labs have been closed at a lot of the locations but you can still definitely get it in 1 hour in places that still have full labs.
Chromatic aberration has nothing to do with the quality of lenses. It’s just a natural byproduct of looking through the thickest/most distorted parts of your lenses, typically the edges, especially if you have astigmatism. It actually happens to your entire environment, not just displays, it’s just more noticeable on light-emitting objects. Every pair of glasses I’ve had since I was a child has done this, and I’ve always found it kind of neat. Blue LEDs and purple LEDs distort the most for sure bc of wavelength I think. With purple I can actually see the blue and red that make it up separate if I unfocus my vision or look at it through the edges of my lenses.
Not even 30 seconds in and I'm crying laughing over George Washington's birthday being the "3rd Monday of February". Nobody points out absurdity quite like you NL
This man is a gamer by trade and he's never heard of chromatic aberration. It's that shit games do where they're either trying to be stylish or replicate a busted old CRT, where the edges of stuff gets split into 3 slightly horizontally offset copies that are tinted red, green, and blue.
