Thanks, Christopher M! Watched “I finally made it” and I need you to tell Jake to stop lifting with is back. 7:21 and my guy does a beautiful squat and then proceeds to use his back anyway to lift an 86lb speaker... Guess it's ok with free

Reply to Joshua H
Reply @Joshua H! Linus attempted but found that he pretty much just played games and that's' not a super interesting video. Maybe someday!

Thanks, Gina D! Another great water bottle, love the new colors! I play a lot of Cities Skylines and games in that building/management genre. Should I be more focused on CPU or GPU for my computer? I do like a larger

Reply @Gina D! CPU! The CPU is what makes the game continue to run faster the deeper into the game you get

Thanks, Anonymous! Love the merch. Any chance we'll ever get lighter colors when you roll out your own material? Black just gets a little toasty in the summer.

  KurticusZen
Thanks, KurticusZen! Hey Linus, I'm a small streamer looking to start making merch. Do you have suggestions for how I can make merch like you guys, with a focus on quality instead of just slapping my logo on a cheap thing?

Thanks, Anonymous! Less of a question and more of an idea. A stealth gaming PC in a "medical cabinet" like you keep first aid supplies in. I've tried this in the past and the biggest challenge was cooling.

Thanks @m 0 2 and Batman's death and/or retirement is suspcious, there remains the fact that Bruce Wayne was not a superhero. Surely, if Bruce Wayne were to be a superhero, he would probably just buy a gun and shoot criminals with it and do the city some actual good instead of leaving the dangerous villains to live in prison where they seem to constantly escape and continue to wreak fear.
