It started in the vid descriptions and comments section of my video,


And now I wanted to post it onto here:


I wish I could still find that DJ "Fusioncore Dance" Day[9] vid about him explaining bijections. He is my most favourite maths professor (well, truth to be told there's also another one!). He makes maths genuinely very interesting and super easily explainable. (I also watch Numberphile sometimes.) Also, this is a technically NSFW maths joke from him that I like though: (again, technically NSFW!)


Speaking of laughing, I wonder how a Lesson1a would look like of casting a certain game between one of my favourite players who reintroduced me to StarCraft 1 (competitive) and who has been helping Scarlett, and a certain someone else. Where, you know, like Pinkie Pie taught me, you laugh with everyone rather than at them. I want to honestly admit, back then I myself found it the funniest cast, but I've matured a bit since then and now am thinking in next level funny (of which I also can no longer find the respective Day[9] video about): wholesome funny (and then there's of course k+1 level funny vs. k just like k+1 level play vs. k, or again, like number J). You know, where you try not to bring someone in during trumpets after the best prior eehan timing.

P.S. Day[9] Daily Nr. 100 and Nydus Crazy and the Funday Monday of Impersonations are my absolute most favourite StarCraft content together with several, several others, also from iNcontroL ( also technically a NSFW vid in terms of some words
), TotalBiscuit and Violet (Rest in Peace all of You Absolute Legends), BlizShouter aka Crota (also an excellent PeaceCraft3 caster), Taste[ful]'s and Artosis' and IdrA's best moments, Ahzmer (I'm a Zerg player at heart, just like one of my most favourite musicians of all time, [] A Clever Pony), HDStarcraft, HuskyStarCraft, Klazart, dApollo, Gretorp and many many many others. Also thank you for everything to reb, Plexa, motbob, GMarshal, scintilliaSD, and Aylear and StarDragon and Razielim and Zero and Runbunny and RariSCy and Zounds and Zephirdd and Phearlock and sykora and Bio and Cake and Gary and TheLittleOne and Tester and reb and Nazgul and MC and Tarson and White-Ra and MorroW and Mondragon and ThorZaIN and Adelscott and GoOdy and Kas (also thank you for so modestly apologizing even for just an honest mistake) and Mora and Scarlett and also Purge from Dota for mentoring Day[9], of course Glider aka ThePortraitArt, and Everyone (I could keep on listing) for inspiring me

Well I want to reiterate again that Ahzz (Ahzmer) has been my greatest SC1 Zerg source of knowledge besides Combat-Ex's offracing, and I'd love it if I could see his videos again because I cannot find them now. Also, I love it that even 25 years later, you can get new strategies in SC1 like late-game Guardians against Protoss or Queen Ensnare strategies. I would also love it if there were a way to have fan games where we didn't need to be an absolutely amazing Flash to play a game of dota alone as 5 heroes (that include Chen, Meepo and co.) and with a lot of carpal tunnel prevention and time spent grinding but that would still retain the fun of SC1 that,

while SC2: WoL and SC2 alpha ideas for me got close to (besides too slow vsAir mock battle units), but that still would make SC1 my most favourite game of all time to play besides ping-pong without rules besides using non-usual hand or Dota1 and 2 without luck neutral items and viking chess that overcomes the fragility of real life chess that has too easy and unfun help possibilities (what if we could make sure that even games like SC and Dota iterations didn't use them? because of us WANTING for the games to be extremely close so that we would intentionally be incentivized to forgo the use of help, while also having UBI and other personal interests to keep us both from not playing as well as from not only playing that, everything with measure). P.S. a certain someone has helped me so much with self-acceptance (that is, all of you trans people), as did Julia Serano's book Whipping Girl. Thank you Everyone.

Also earlier I was listening to a blackbird (in Hungarian: "rigó") sing and I thought of the vid where the South Korean commentators went RIVORIVORIVORIVORIVORIVORIVORIVORIVO (
) and I said "RIGÓRIGÓRIGÓRIGÓRIGÓRIGÓRIGÓRIGÓ"

Also while black has its place as relative, from the past and just is, e.g. for blackbirds or anyone, I'm still happy that Taste[ful] said once that he became way happier once he painted his room's walls a different colour and opened his windows to see outside. studies show that esp. seeing green (and probably blue too, my personal opinion, Oliver Burkeman underlines this with therapists suggesting even visiting lakes and oceans, that we should protect, just like the green) helps improve mood, Dr. Gábor Máté also agrees in his book The Myth of Normal.

Edit: Mentioned more people, and really, I cannot emphasize enough that without Combat, I wouldn't have come back to my childhood most favourite game StarCraft in a competitive way (nor inspired others to have done so), and without Day[9]'s cast, I wouldn't have found my way to TeamLiquid even though I was on Combat's side. And I'm now on both sides.

Thank you Team Liquid for Everything and

Thank you for reading.
Liquid hwaiting!

And sorry to Everyone whom I need to say sorry to, again.

Next video in this series:



Personal recommendation regarding the FundayEveryday challenge in my video: use Guardians and Hold Position Lurkers and Nydus for as maximal as possible run.

And the last two videos in this series that partially has to do with SC1 and a lot, lot more games and other content (sorry for the double post):





And a not so rhetorical question to follow up the videos with: If bees were your cherished Mutalisk or puppy or kitten or Eevee or Pikachu or Charmeleon friends, what would you try to do to save them? Honest brainstorming session: all Nydus Crazy Funday[Every]day ideas are accepted. I'll start: My idea was to create this video and my YouTube comments on it and to share it with some friends and some platforms like my beloved TeamLiquid. This time, let's in fact bee a Hive mind and also save our own (as Taste[ful] would put it, Ultralisk Gaming Caverns) Lairs with the flowers of our favourite non-corn veggie food that depend on the bees! (It'd get boring to mainly have to eat corn.)

And while at it, whether we say "Sup Ursadon?" like Sean or Firebearguys like Nick, please let's also brainstorm about saving polar bears too!
