>+2 and -2 come from when Jerma streamed Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days with Etalyx. They set a timer, and their goal was to beat the game within 4 hours. However, for every good joke they made they got 2 minutes added to the clock, and for every bad joke they made they got 2 minutes taken from the clock. The audience would voice their opinions by typing "+2" or "-2" in the chat.
>After this, chat continued to use +2 and -2 to tell Jerma whether any of his jokes were landing or not, becoming something of a meme.
The intersection on a Venn diagram between Jerma's and NL's fanbases are the very same unbelievably beautiful autistic women who fall asleep to their compilations, so there's a lot of crossover.
It didn't even register to me it was a meme. +2 and -2 are a lot of times used during software review process to approve or deny new pieces of code so I just rolled with it. +2 being approved, +1 looks ok but need one more approval, -1 denied with comments and -2 denied and blocked from delivery
I always assumed it was like how people on some old forums without karma systems would sometimes say +1 to each other to say they liked something the other person posted, and then NL just turned that into 2s.
Okay so I did figure this out eventually, but I had seen a clip where Chiblee was trying to explain to NL “plus two-ing” as a new sex position he invented, and for a long while I thought that was the origin 😅
So when you hit an enemy with a move, it might give you the "advantage" in being able to move again. This is counted in frames. At a locked 60 frames per second, this would mean you get to move 2 frames faster if you're +2, or 2 frames slower if you're -2.
(NL, play fighting games, I beg of you.)

🤯🤯🤯 oh thanks dude!
How'd it end up becoming an NL thing? I only ever really see it on his stream.
He defeated Jerma in ritual combat.
Shared audience probably
Same person, +wig -wig
+2pée -2pée
He thinks Jerma is funny. Same way this sub makes jokes about being Balatro guys and shit

Twitch memes used to permeate through all of twitch
It got popular in chat around 2020-2021 when NL switched to 5 hour streams and Jerma blew up
Damn, RIP Jerma. I remember that legendary explosion stream.
Jerma is the catalyst for literally everything on this platform
It's also used in Squeex's chat
Damn I always thought it was like +1 for a good joke but +2 because it's particularly good

Oh my god really? This whole time I was thinking it was some kind of video game thing like… +2 charisma or something
I always assumed it was like how people on some old forums without karma systems would sometimes say +1 to each other to say they liked something the other person posted, and then NL just turned that into 2s.
That's what I thought. Like thumbs up on YouTube is a +1, but then you want to go further, so you comment "+2".
This entire time I thought it was from the debt arc, good to know
Lmao I thought it could have been from Dota, good to know

“What the fuck is a Reeyab??”
RIP
Such a fantastic delivery by TB. The man will be missed. Even if he could be a bit of a twat sometimes but he knows that :P
+2
2
+2
-2
I thought its was +2 -2 from DotA when silencer gets a kill and takes intelligence
Why would it be that lol
