1:48 I don't want to be a nerd, but Sisyphus's punishment was originally just to die. However, because he tricked Thanotos and later Hades and Persephone, he got the boulder punishment. He tried to do a pointless task, escaping death, and thus he must do a pointless task for the rest of eternity.

Ludwig got so insanely lucky. The golem is supposed to grab the ball and throw it again when it rolls into his back. And it didn't even throw it that far the first time. The universe was helping him win. As usual.

Sisyphus was punished because he imprisoned Death (the personification of death, like the Grim Reaper) when Death came for him (he did not want to die). And then when he got caught and was to be judged for his crimes, he tricked Hades and his wife, Persephone and once again escaped death for a while. So his punishment is fitting, since he did get his immortality at the end, just not in the way he wanted to.

Okay “stop that boulder he stole my purse” is fucking hilarious

I love the fact he talked about the control menu in the beginning multiple times, yet never sees the mouse controls that make the game 400% easier until so much later hahahaahah

21:58 Thats the entire point of Foddian games, described by Bennet himself in Getting Over It. "An orange is a sweet juicy fruit locked inside a bitter peel. That's not how I feel about a challenge. I only want the bitterness, its coffee, its grapefruit, its licorice."

"im not a masochist, I just want to test the limits of my body" - Lud playing rage games

5:00 little bro skipped 20 minutes of him getting absolutely destroyed by chat for not reading the controls

if only he had nine boulders, they could roll each other up

i love this running joke of being 28 is like being 82 in internet years

"one must imagine ludwig happy" is my favorite video title of all time

that fresh pickles TTS was the best use of whatever it cost

Ludwig must REALLY love balls for spending so long with this one

Foddian games being an analogy for Sisyphus is so genius that I'm legit mad that I hadn't thought of it before this vid.

Lud knows a lot about rolling up

This comment will be forgotten

I'm watching the video again to match the vibe

2:33 "I think I can cheese it." Famous last words.

I was waiting for Ludwig to find out once you beat the game you unlocked a skin for the bolder that makes it faster to push and do speedruns with

Ludwig: "It's so rude of them to give me the controls again" Ludwig 20 mins later: 4:45

Not reading controls then getting surprised by the controls.

ludwig filled me good with this one

This man just keeps finding heavier boulders to role up steepers hills

Even when Ludwig beat the game he wasn't happy, there was pure pain in his eyes

Fresh pickles

Make the goat gamer gauntlet 24 hours for all the main foddian games

YOOO actual absurdism and Camus reference with that ending!!

Finally an accurate representation of my parents walk to school every morning

0:59 was so well placed, especially the fresh pickles >.

Ludwig is spreading misinformation here: Prometheus wasn't whipped every day for eternity, but had HIS LIVER EATEN BY AN EAGLE every day for eternity

12:40 That felt like a bit of an extreme reaction. I get that I'm forever going to be chasing getting my own place in this climate, but you don't have to rub it in just because someone told you to itch your thigh. Doesn't he also own his own house with his roommates? Jeepers, man.

5:54 perfectly conveys Ludwig stream viewers

5:42 forgot to include the part where the actual question asked was about one piece

+100 points for the Silksong OST

my guy cant stop rolling balls

Can’t wait to see Ludwig Speedrun this

Can confirm, I was the boulder

THIS IS A CAMUS REFERENCE

Whoever said he was 80% of the way was almost spot on lmao

The fence was so crazy blocking the golem toss

Bro is addicted to foddian-styled games

1:45 First of all, Sysiphys didnt just have to lift a boulder, he was basically sent to hell and had to lift that boulder for all of eternity. Imagine playing a foddyian game forever, except it has a physical toll on you and you can never beat it. Second, Prometheus didnt just give fure to humans, he stole it from the gods. So sure giving fire to humans isnt as bas as killing a bunch of people, but from the gods perspective, anyone who stole from them deserved a mich bigger punishment then anything done to humans because they believed themselves above us. Also, keep in mind that Sysiphys was also basically sent to hell, so its not like Promethius was sent to hell and Sysiphys just had to lift a rock. Remember he was liftinf the rock for all eternity. Anyway just wanted to get that off my chest. I also know that it may sound like it, but i do not believe greek gods were actually real, i was just talking from that perspective.

bro ludwig not pressing left or right is actually killing me

2:48 One must imagine Ludwig -Dracaro

Did you guys know reading the controls explains the controls

Not my proudest but

Lud retelling his monsters university story was not what I expected

Prometheus was actually punished by being tied down and having his liver eaten and generated every day for eternity.

This comment will not be forgotten

1 view in 29 seconds. Lud fell off

the world record is indeed an hour of pressing W

Ludwig’s next video will be called “Speedrunning Sisyphus was the worst decision I’ve ever made”

now all we need is just me and the birds

Loving the ragewig lately

bro got mad fast

Leapin Luddy strikes again

Ludwig is great at handling balls.

genuinely a very enjoyable video

Sisyphus has done irreparable damage to society💀

No one: bloodborn enemies: 16:18

I love all the death screams

Luds music is hitting so well with the halo music

"Foddian" is a hilarious and apt word

8:04 funniest scream of the video

1:07 I’m having flashbacks testicles…. testicles…

stream title was so good he made it the video title too

"one must imagine Sisyphus happy"- Camus

Love these videos

Can't imagine Ludwig unhappy with how lucky he's gotten in life lol

Ludwig got so lucky with that golem

TTS: "Fresh pickles" Ludwig: "I'm not tilted!" Morgan Freeman: He was indeed tilted.

16:55 the fact it landed PERFECTLY on the edge of the catch

I LOVE LUDWIG

"...where we kinda figured it out with calculators- AHUHHA!" -Sisylud

I remembered watching this stream for 10 minutes before seeing it was a livestream lol

I feel like jumping while pushing is the fastest but hardest speed run strat, not to mention tnt speed or using the stuff around you to launch it

Just wait until bro finds out about speedruns for this game.

hm, a visitor? indeed, i have slept long enough.

This type of game really demonstrates how most games truly operate, there is a gameplay loop and the developer's job is to make it fun, challenging, and rewarding. The simple additional threat of losing all progress to any mistake is so powerful that it fundamentally changes how we perceive these games completely. Any game can do this, and that's a big realization to have.

who ever edited this video thanks for adding the silksong song

22:11 same vibe when I finish a coding project

5:40 it's insane how no one in chat asked Ludwig that and he just decided to ask that on his own

I can’t imagine Ludwig happy when someone stole his favorite Jacket. Lmao

Ludwig moment

prometheus was chained on caucasus and every day a huge eagle would eat his intestins

Daedalus must have been commissioned for Sisyphu’ punishment for trying to cheat death.

7:30 that's just how my friends play when it's not real money lmao

“…where we kind of figured it out with calculators - AHHHHHHH! - so you don’t really need it…” -Ludwig, 2024

1:33 sisyphus was not allowed to chill at the bottom of the hill, he was forced to roll the rock for all eternity

Fitting for the audio to become muddy at the mud section

Lud do be rolling

Just finished watching the vod and the main channel video is here😭

LUDWIG YOU SHOULD PLAY PEAKS OF YORE, ITS SO GOOD 😭🙏

prometheus gets organs ripped out by birds daily, not whipped

Ludwig literally going to psychatry after this game

You believe in Bouldy, and Bouldy believes in you.

unexpectedly entertaining Mr. Wig

Not me getting an ASU (Arizona state university) ad on a Ludwig video. Lmao

not watching this until the egg beats it first

When’s the all endings gauntlet? 😂
