Ludwig is a popular streamer and Youtuber that is known for a lot of things, not least of which is his love of bidets and occasional playthroughs of video games like Minecraft. But what kind of shenanigans can we subject Bidet Bro to that he wouldn’t have already experienced in his Chess Boxing events or Mr Beast Island? How about a computer that makes Minecraft a punishing experience? I just hope he doesn’t hate us too much after this… Here’s the source code for the ESP32 if you want to do something similar and have the knowhow: pastebin.com Maps used: Ja Wipeout FE by TheHappywheels1: planetminecraft.com [1.5] The Dropper by Bigre: planetminecraft.com 30 Ways to Die by Zed49: minecraftmaps.com Discuss on the forum: linustechtips.com Buy a Swipe Bidet: lmg.gg Buy an ESP-WROOM-32: geni.us Buy 5V One Channel Relay Modules: geni.us Buy 25KG Digital Servos: geni.us Buy a Pneumatic Air Cylinder: geni.us Buy a Pneumatic Lever Operated Valve: geni.us Buy an Air Hose Pipe Tube Kit: geni.us Buy an 11 Gallon Portable Air Tank: geni.us Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group. ► GET MERCH: lttstore.com ► GET EXCLUSIVE CONTENT ON FLOATPLANE: lmg.gg ► SPONSORS, AFFILIATES, AND PARTNERS: lmg.gg ► EQUIPMENT WE USE TO FILM LTT: lmg.gg ► OUR WAN PODCAST GEAR: lmg.gg FOLLOW US --------------------------------------------------- Twitter: twitter.com Facebook: @LinusTech Instagram: @linustech TikTok: @linustech Twitch: twitch.tv MUSIC CREDIT --------------------------------------------------- Intro: Laszlo - Supernova Video Link: youtube.com iTunes Download Link: itunes.apple.com Artist Link: soundcloud.com Outro: Approaching Nirvana - Sugar High Video Link: youtube.com Listen on Spotify: spoti.fi Artist Link: youtube.com Intro animation by MBarek Abdelwassaa @mbarek_abdel Monitor And Keyboard by vadimmihalkevich / CC BY 4.0 geni.us Mechanical RGB Keyboard by BigBrotherECE / CC BY 4.0 geni.us Mouse Gamer free Model By Oscar Creativo / CC BY 4.0 geni.us CHAPTERS --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 4:11 Wipeout 13:24 The Dropper 16:14 Slowrun (we can't call this a speedrun, not really) 18:37 30 Ways to Die 20:05 Back to Wipeout 30:22 Conclusion

AI OverviewDefault language

Linus and Ludwig team up for a chaotic hardware and gaming stunt that centers on a custom PC wired to punish the gamer for mistakes in Minecraft maps. The video opens with Linus introducing Ludwig and hinting at a setup that uses servos, relays, and water jets to respond to in-game actions. The promise is playful but clear: the better Ludwig performs, the less aggressive the punishment, while missteps trigger real life reactions, including a swipe bidet and other sensory gimmicks. The behind-the-scenes chatter reveals a collaboration with SignalRGB to orchestrate a synchronized lighting and mech-trigger system that responds to Minecraft events, turning the game into a tense real-world punishment system. Throughout the intro, the tone is a mix of humor, curiosity, and cautious concern as Ludwig slides into the seat and begins the first map. The segment ends with a quick tour of the two swipe bidets, the air compressor, and the overall setup, establishing both the joke and the engineering heft behind the stunt.
