I flubbed one of the specs of the Quest 2. It has physical IPD adjustments. I was thinking of the Rift S. My bad! - LS

[4:03:18] *Outro.*

[Jan-de-Munck]

"don't build family members a pc because you'll end up being tech support for it forever"

I'm *_already_* tech support for my entire family, building them pcs will just mean I know exactly what they're running.

[Norman_Fleming]

Luke and Linus both being so above board with everything has always impressed me. Walking away from "whatever bad thing (ads on gym mirrors for example)" on principle, respect. Them shouting out teachers that made such impacts in their lives is wonderful. Seriously this is the only live stream I watch. Wanted to post here just to say thanks for sharing and giving me something to look forward to.

[TruthEvil]

Linus and Luke: Nothing happened this week, we have nothing to talk about.

Also Linus and Luke: Continue to do the longest WAN show to this point.

[mkt_shv]

Thank you guys for sharing some light onto Tarkov cheaters problem, this is much needed right now

[BelacDarkstorm]

Luke: There's no news.
He says, an hour into a 4 hour long WAN show.

[GrandNebSmada]

I'm seriously so happy this show has gotten a lot longer. Even the two hour ones were way better than the hour but 4 hours is magical

[Scoops_F]

The 4 hour show. We finally did it boys!

[haletech]

Thank you for talking about EFT. LTT has influence in this space and many players are hoping this will encourage tangible, real action on BSGs behalf. For far too long we have acknowledged this issue without realizing the scope of a cheatdemic and turned a blind eye and said well there's no perfect solution. In reality, there is a solution we just have yet to find it.

Again, thank you <3

[quickclips]

Nothing happened this week - Luke 30 seconds in. Also luke and Linus doing a 4 hour wan show

[risingstar]

Props to Linus for silently having Luke’s back when it came to “leaking” the video. He totally spinned it as best he could as to soften the potential blow to g0at. Top lad lol

[brenty]

The ending with AI Linus had me laughing so hard I woke up my fiance. I was crying laughing at Linus' reaction and then I looked at the description and ridge wallet was the sponsor. Oh man, so funny.

[cad]

I'm glad my Merch Message at 3:01:50 about "what is the best thing to spring out of LMG" morphed into the Christmas album and possibly hundreds of people buying the worst thing on the face of this planet. Bravo.

[OrangeC]

4-hour WAN show, let's see how long it takes for timestamp guy to do this

[Kenjionigod]

I'm glad Linus is super positive on the PSVR2, I've seen way too many people being super dismissive for no reason like they have to hate it.

[orgcon]

Hey Linus, In most of the Final Fantasy games there was an impenetrable barrier spell called 'Trine' which would absorb all hits (it sounds very similar to the barrier spell you describe), but 'Trine' could be defeated by a magic spell called 'Bio' that would disolve 'Trine' instantly. Does your Chemist not have anything like this available to them? Not sure if this mechanic is in the game, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

[Paintopia_VR]

That was an epic WAN Show, they should all be 4hrs long

[MarioNotBros]

I used to watch the WAN show pretty consistently like 8 years ago. Never stopped watching LTT but stopped watching the WAN show, I'd always be surprised at how long the shows were.
Now, I watch a 4-hour show and I feel sad when it's ending, looking forward to next week.
Linus and Luke, this is my favorite podcast again. Y'all rule. 💙

[Ikuorai]

Thank you for talking about Tarkov. The community is on fire about it and are infighting about the video instead of being mad at the game being able to cheat in so easily.
