[compact wasp]

atleast you got a new pb of 3 hits though

so that does mean you are very close. Today just wasn't the day

[foggy sable]

it does feel easier than when I was trying for it in Feb

[dry creek]

i believe in you grey ^_^

[foggy sable]

or Jan I forget

the fact most runs are getting into p3 is weird

[vernal knot]

What are you trying

[foggy sable]

r5ab

[vernal knot]

Good luck Gray

[foggy sable]

ty

[thorn ruin]

Gl

[foggy sable]

it was always very far out of reach I think but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

hopefully it isn't a train

[lone heron]

we should make slugcats real

[thorn ruin]

Btw your username says you’re mildly defrosted, implying that you were frozen

[dry creek]

my friend thinks so t oo

[thorn ruin]

But how do you freeze fire?

[dry creek]

i cant read my own handwriting

[foggy sable]

it was like 10 degrees for about 4 days

I was frozen

[dry creek]

me when im pure acetic acid

[foggy sable]

okay but like

10C is too cold

[dry creek]

thats exactly what pure acetic acid would say :/

[foggy sable]

my hands go numb at that temperature...

[dry creek]

i guess we know what grey is made of now

ratjer than mostly water shes mostly acetic acid

[lone heron]

have you tried rubbing your hands together and blowing on them

[foggy sable]

yes

[dry creek]

have you tried crossing your arms and going "brrr!"

[foggy sable]

I had to buy gloves

[foggy sable]

at times

[dry creek]

does it work

[foggy sable]

not really because when you have to use your hands for something they become cold again

this is not a problem inside because it is warmer inside than outside

although it was like 13C inside for a bit which was unfair

[dry creek]

10c is the low today which is actually pretty nice

[foggy sable]

10C as the low is okay

[dry creek]

finally escaping winter

[foggy sable]

as the high it is bad because that is when you are outside doing things

it isn't even winter yet...

well it is close enough

[dry creek]

but its 20c rn and thats too hot so i hope im not outside for too long today

this is why i dont do sports

gym is better

cause i dont have to be hot

[foggy sable]

20 is about the perfect temperature

[dry creek]

i can just be sweaty which is my default anyway

[foggy sable]

maybe like 15-20

[dry creek]

i think 10 is perfect sometimes but sometimes 12 is perfect

[verbal pasture]

Greyfire aren’t you the r5ab runner

[foggy sable]

okay but the weather over the year goes from about 0 to about 45

[thorn ruin]

It’s 21c rn and my hands are cold

[magic storm]

I love collector

[foggy sable]

so 15-20 is in the middle

[foggy sable]

sort of

I'm not really grinding out runs though

so it depends

[verbal pasture]

Suscat said you had tyrant distance or something

[thorn ruin]

I’m wearing a slightly thick jacket

[foggy sable]

correct

[dry creek]

🙁

[verbal pasture]

Did you just do the marmu run for love of the game

[foggy sable]

I lost an r5ab run to marmu

so decided to finish a challenge I put a few hours into back last year

[verbal pasture]

I personally wouldn’t let that happen to me

[foggy sable]

well I haven't since I did that challenge

[verbal pasture]

He brought it up because I’ve recently been trying it again

[foggy sable]

makes sense

I don't have the willingness to grind out a run for hours at a time like I did for charmless

[verbal pasture]

I don’t either

[foggy sable]

so just 1 attempt a day

sometimes less though

[verbal pasture]

I play for like 1-2 hours

Like with all of my challenges

[dry creek]

elmo is a glove

[verbal pasture]

I see

1 full attempt is already an hour

[foggy sable]

not full attempts a lot of the time

today I stopped at collector

[verbal pasture]

I see

[compact wasp]

and grinding out r5ab runs sounds counter intuitive anyway

[foggy sable]

not at a point

[compact wasp]

slowly fatigue sets in and you will just keep on doing worse

[verbal pasture]

This is how literally every challenge works

[compact wasp]

so I would think one to 4 runs a day is enough

[foggy sable]

4 runs is a lot of time with it

[compact wasp]

yeah I can imagine

[foggy sable]

back when I was doing charmless I streamed attempts for like 2 hours every day

and it was awful

[compact wasp]

it sounds awful even thinking about it

even more cuz that's just

2 ab runs

[foggy sable]

imagine dying in like p1 or p2 on repeat for 2 hours

then silksong came out and I stopped

[compact wasp]

ye you told me this story before

[foggy sable]

this challenge will be different

[compact wasp]

yeah probably

i think today I actually understood just how daunting hitless actually is

even more cuz this is just r5. you are doing r5ab

i hope you can get it eventually

[foggy sable]

I might start running the medium difficulty bosses 1 nail damage

ones like god tamer

[compact wasp]

god tamer is weirdly inconsistent

even though it really shouldn't be

[foggy sable]

in my last like 5 runs I've been hit twice in the fight

which is pretty bad

[compact wasp]

yeah

what's your loop usually?

do you like finish an entire p5ab run when you start or is there any point where you reset?

[foggy sable]

I usually finish runs if they die past marmu

but sometimes I just don't feel like finishing a run

because the hit felt really bad

[compact wasp]

how do you get early game consistent btw?

[foggy sable]

it just depends though at what point int the run you are

if the earlygame is inconsistent just do full runs if they die after p1

at one point in r5 I was resetting to any hits at grimm or before

[compact wasp]

there have been so soo many which just died to somenoe in p1

[foggy sable]

I did all the fights rabono

[compact wasp]

yk what

[foggy sable]

and they became consistent somehow

[compact wasp]

good idea actually

ye "somehow"

[foggy sable]

for you I would say do them 04r

[night mantle]

https://medal.tv/fr/games/hollow-knight/clips/mHADcY21pg4-wXzfZ?invite=cr-MSxLcXMsNTU4NDUyNDgx&v=83

[compact wasp]

I mean that's literally what happened with oro and mato for me

[night mantle]

took me 3 hours of my life

[compact wasp]

atleast its not 7 hours

I followed your advice and did them radiant all bindings

boom I am 8 for 8 hitless at them

in my runs

[foggy sable]

and any I repeatedly get hit on (mawlek) I did rab 1 nail damage no

it just helps with the mental drain of earlygame for each boss to be much easier than a challenge run you have done for it

[compact wasp]

definitely

I should probably do that

[autumn scarab]

i did path of pain :D

[compact wasp]

congrats!

[foggy sable]

but I'll say again don't jump to something silly difficult from rab

because it will be demoralising

[compact wasp]

yeah cuz like

I have to remember its been only 2 days since p5ab

even r5 is barely in my skill range rn

[night mantle]

https://medal.tv/fr/games/hollow-knight/clips/mHAIweIVU-yVuOQsu?invite=cr-MSx0aDIsNTU4NDUyNDgx&v=0

[compact wasp]

going too hard would literally lead to instant burn out

[foggy sable]

given you are at the same point in the r5 grind as I am with r5ab I feel like things I do might be more applicable

[thorn ruin]

GGs

[foggy sable]

if I notice I'm getting hit to a boss on a few runs in a row I just jump into hall of gods and do 1 nail damage, not to win just to properly be in the fight for a while and refresh the movement

[night mantle]

took me approximately 30 hours in total i think?

[foggy sable]

gg

[compact wasp]

how do you get 1 nail damage

[thorn ruin]

Debug mod

[foggy sable]

use debug to reduce to 1

[proud haven]

Hacking the game with cheats and vil

[foggy sable]

1 nail damage in particular doesn't matter

[proud haven]

Evil*

[foggy sable]

but just a setting that takes ages

so you don't just win and move on

[compact wasp]

got it

[foggy sable]

I mostly do it with galien to learn main scythe movement

but sometimes markoth and others

[compact wasp]

that scythe actually has movement?

[foggy sable]

the scythe curves and does weird things

[compact wasp]

ye its a weird one

that thing is schizophrenic

[foggy sable]

and I keep getting clipped by it and not knowing how to play when in a corner

[agile pewter]

[compact wasp]

oh hi there leon

[compact wasp]

it just randomly shows up in my face

[foggy sable]

yes

[compact wasp]

that thing is just random

but it definitely isn't truly random

I guess I should probably get rab on all bosses from hornet defender to grimm

or atleast sheo to start things off

[foggy sable]

anything you don't get hit to put as a low priority

unless you plan on doing everything in which case order doesn't matter

[compact wasp]

let's do it all cuz why not

would be a fun challenge

[foggy sable]

how many have you done rab?

[compact wasp]

didn't count yet

but like

7 atleast

but seriously I am so proud of oro and mato

they are so easy now

compared to how chaotic they used to be for me

[foggy sable]

it is such a chill fight once you know it

[worthy peak]

The scythe feels random? It just like curves towards you and bounces predictably though... I guess I haven't put too much thought into...

[foggy sable]

it is EVIL

[worthy peak]

Okie...

I'm scared now...

[naive dew]

@foggy sable

[foggy sable]

(I just don't like galien)

[compact wasp]

I used to think that scythe was okay

[foggy sable]

@naive dew

[compact wasp]

before p5ab and now r5

[naive dew]

hiiii

[compact wasp]

I hate that thing so much

[foggy sable]

hiiiiii hru

[naive dew]

concerned becauser i have to do 2 math exams tmr and ill prolly get 4h sleep and im also stupid

[foggy sable]

oh no

[compact wasp]

why 4 hours?

bad life decisions or something out of your control?

[naive dew]

i have to be there at 7:45

[sand dawn]

Heyy

Guye

Can we use defender crest for

[foggy sable]

doing research is fun but finding settler mortality rates in Java and the Dutch east indies is difficult so that is sad

[sand dawn]

Lost kin grub

[umbral night]

What'd defenders crest do again
How will it help to get a grub?

[sand dawn]

Like it makes you stinky or smt

[rough fjord]

I made a creature in Creatures of Sonaria based on The Hollow Knight that I wanna share but idk what channel to put it in

[umbral night]

Then no
It won't help for getting the grub

[sand dawn]

No like whenever the lost kin gets exhausted I try to heal but those f acid ghost or smt

Always damage me

[rough fjord]

Where do I put it

[sand dawn]

Infected ballon

[umbral night]

Yeah i see

[sand dawn]

What can i do

[umbral night]

Sorry, idk

[sand dawn]

Ah k

You cant legally hate on nkg

[gleaming current]

Its my second playthrough doin the pantheons again and I feel so fucked for saving zote

Mf got random ass attacks

[proven torrent]

nothing wrong with hating on a boss lol

[remote elbow]

Hes to peak

[glass marten]

.markoth

[gleaming current]

Any tips for him ?

[remote elbow]

Well

You cant hate on nkg

[proven torrent]

oh I can

[remote elbow]

Hes unhatable and perfect

[gleaming current]

Godhome markoth

[proven torrent]

tmg is better music wise imo

[remote elbow]

Nah

[proven torrent]

yer

[remote elbow]

I used to agrree with you

[dry creek]

tmg is better.

[gleaming current]

Nkg is hard but he a goated character

[remote elbow]

But after fighting nkg like a gazillion times nkg is better

[proven torrent]

genuinely just a boring boss im sorry

[dry creek]

yeh

gets really boring after a while

[proven torrent]

tru

[rustic salmon]

i used to really like nkg, but now i kinda just feel like he just takes too long

[dry creek]

exactly

[rustic salmon]

.

[dry creek]

he gets it

[remote elbow]

Nkg starts at 100% and only gets better if you know what i mean with tmg theres buildup idk how to explain jt

[proven torrent]

it's just such a long fight and like. nothing happens during it

[dry creek]

frr

[proven torrent]

its just faster grimm 😭

[gleaming current]

In pantheon its annoying fs

[compact wasp]

he is cool as hell though

[dry creek]

yeah he has aura

[compact wasp]

not cooler than pure vessel, but still cool

[remote elbow]

And better and more fun and 100000000 times harder

[gleaming current]

Agreed

[proven torrent]

oh yeah no he is cool

[rustic salmon]

its very different depending on where you are at in the game, nkg before p5 feels amazing

[proven torrent]

but the fight is just boring ❤️‍🩹

[remote elbow]

During nkg?

[foggy sable]

tmg is just the better fight

[proven torrent]

true if you like first fight him he's cool

[remote elbow]

Nah

[marsh agate]

sorry what is tmg?

[proven torrent]

grimm 1

[marsh agate]

i forgor

[compact wasp]

troupe master grimm

[foggy sable]

troupe master grimm

[remote elbow]

Troup master grimm

[marsh agate]

ohh okay

[compact wasp]

that grimm feels janky now though

[frozen hull]

My face when I don't have Nintendo App

[rustic salmon]

you think so?, i like nkg batter cause cooler parry

[gleaming current]

Troupe maste grimm

[compact wasp]

not as smooth or satisfying

[remote elbow]

I do i just cant be bothered

[frozen hull]

[remote elbow]

Untrue

[foggy sable]

I don't parry nkg, they both are easy enough now but I like the flow of tmg better

[compact wasp]

tmg not nkg

[foggy sable]

also tmg has better music I think

[proven torrent]

true.

[dry creek]

yes i agree grey

[rustic salmon]

fair enough, it is cleaner truthfully

[strong skiff]

Fast

[gleaming current]

The only real issue imo is that pufferfish attack but with enough practice you can even counter that

[proven torrent]

pufferfish isnt too bad

[remote elbow]

Ywah

Tmg is to easy

[gleaming current]

It is when he throws like 2 orbs back to back

[umbral night]

Good jump button control is enough for puffer

[remote elbow]

I was sad when i beat him cuz hes so fucking good

[marsh agate]

nkg gets boring after a while yeah was fun at start for me though

[remote elbow]

Nahhhh

[proven torrent]

if the fight was a tad shorter id like it a bit more

[remote elbow]

Im on my 70-80 attemp and hes super fun

[proven torrent]

can you at least be open to other people's opinions 😭

[rustic salmon]

sly is so epic wtf

[marsh agate]

i prefer pure vessel idk just my opinion

[proven torrent]

true actually

[gleaming current]

Umm idk abt you but gpz is js so much more hatable than nkg

[proven torrent]

well thats because gpz sucks

[remote elbow]

Well he does get slightly boring but when you beat your highscore it gets super mega uktra fun again

[gleaming current]

Dying to a meme boss gets under your skin

[rustic salmon]

i like gpz more

[proven torrent]

highscore ?

[gleaming current]

And I wish I rather let him die in deepnest

[umbral night]

That's so right

[proven torrent]

I dont think he dies in deepnest

[rustic salmon]

gpz hits feel satisfying

[remote elbow]

Yes i keep track at what point i die

[marsh agate]

whats your thoughts on soul tyrant? i actually kinda like it

[proven torrent]

I love tyrant

[remote elbow]

I got to phase 3 or 4

[marsh agate]

YOOO

[remote elbow]

Same

[marsh agate]

i thought it was just me

[rustic salmon]

im sure that will change

[proven torrent]

he's my favorite dream fight lol

[rustic salmon]

or not

[marsh agate]

me 2

[gleaming current]

Vro Soul Tyrant is so peakk

[remote elbow]

I bet when ill replay hk ill be like evrry boss is super slow cuz ill be used to nkg and whatever is in the pantheons

[marsh agate]

frfr

[gleaming current]

One of the best dream fights

[compact wasp]

my favourite dream fight is lost kin

[gleaming current]

Failed champion too

[foggy sable]

okay why are oblobbles and sisters suddenly consistent

[proven torrent]

lost kin is like my second favorite one

[proven torrent]

failed champ can die in a hole

[gleaming current]

Lost Kin is too ezz ngl but still he is a good one

[umbral night]

I cant choose between tyrant and kin

[remote elbow]

My favorite dream bossthat ive done is tyrant

[compact wasp]

i mean at that point I can say that about every boss in the game

[gleaming current]

Well I like him

[marsh agate]

wdym

[remote elbow]

You can heal to often so its easy

[remote elbow]

Hes alr

[gleaming current]

Why do oblobbles exist ?

[foggy sable]

back when I was doing runs a while ago I would lose like half of runs in p2 part 1

[proven torrent]

holy true

[marsh agate]

i just did it on radiant 😭

[foggy sable]

I wonder if I have run stats still

[gleaming current]

Same question with that massive moss charger guy

[remote elbow]

Dang

[gleaming current]

These exist js to increase the boss count

[umbral night]

Nail x 50
Mmc ded
Gg rip

[remote elbow]

Only boss i imagine myself doing on radienr is hornet false knight or thk

[rustic salmon]

oke but like why does fc fart every attack

[proven torrent]

well u cant do thk on radiant iirc

[gleaming current]

Ikr but he is such a fuckass boss bruh

[proven torrent]

since they arent in hog

[remote elbow]

I hope

[proven torrent]

closest you'll get is pv

[remote elbow]

I linda wanna replay the game ao i can see how slow the false knight is but i cant be bothered to

[gleaming current]

In my first playthrough I let zote die to vengefly king and I wish I did that in the second playthrough too

[remote elbow]

Same i got scared of a fuckig vengefly

[umbral night]

I still regret saving the mf

[proven torrent]

the ever so humble hall of gods:

[gleaming current]

Same

[rustic salmon]

i mean, pv is just much better thk

[proven torrent]

true..

[remote elbow]

I... dont... have it unlocked

[gleaming current]

Now I have to do p5 and p3 with him

[remote elbow]

Well mayve

[gleaming current]

Fuck zote

[remote elbow]

I dont fucking know

[proven torrent]

if u have godhome you have the hall of gods

its in the same area

[remote elbow]

I can go to the pantheons i have the junk pit unlocked

[proven torrent]

then u have hog

[umbral night]

So as someone who hasn't reached pv
How much faster is he compared to thk

[agile pewter]

God i wish i knew...

[compact wasp]

the fact that zote has a longer explaination than radiance sometimes is hilarious

[gleaming current]

He is a meme boss

[proven torrent]

faster but its manageable

[agile pewter]

The explosion targets you btw, thats why i had to shade dash + wings

[gleaming current]

They didn't have to maake a meme boss that hard tho

[compact wasp]

fast enough to make nkg look pathetic.

[umbral night]

Ok thanks

[remote elbow]

Yeah but like i cant do it rn j have colo3 nkg a few dream bosses 1 charm path of pain the stupid flower bullshit and then ill do the pantheons in that order

[umbral night]

Oooh

[proven torrent]

okay

[remote elbow]

Well not really in tjat order but still

[umbral night]

So i do have something to look forward to

[proven torrent]

[gleaming current]

[umbral night]

Sly with a gun was my favourite
And parryable bullets

Gg

[remote elbow]

Irs not as bad as deepnest the first time you do the runback to nosk easier tben nkg less soul crushing then tl way more fun then every dream warrior combined

[compact wasp]

I am still impressed that zote is not an actual problem for me in r5

how tf is that possible, but I will take it

[vernal knot]

The Runback to Nosk isnt bad what

[agile pewter]

Sometimes it rolls from one end of the arena to the other, and depending on the situation you just cant dodge that

[dry creek]

nice pantheon leon. id watch the full thing but i have class

[remote elbow]

Bro the first time i did the runback i got so scarred

[umbral night]

Hes the worst matchup for me

[remote elbow]

It took me like 10min or something

[agile pewter]

Class is cringe but okay

[dry creek]

gj

[vernal knot]

Its like 1 fucking jump

[remote elbow]

Im never doing nosk ever

[dry creek]

anyways bye

[proven torrent]

its bad because you spend more time in deepnest

[umbral night]

Bye cya

[remote elbow]

No bro its scary af cuz he lures you in with a copy of you and i got jumpscarred when it started running

[proven torrent]

well you need to fight them for a pale ore

[remote elbow]

Ywah so

[proven torrent]

nail upgrade

[remote elbow]

Yeah so

[proven torrent]

more damage

[umbral night]

I watched some video and got spoiled somehow
Never hated myself more

[vernal knot]

[remote elbow]

Im not 112% the game again

[proven torrent]

You don't need to???

[vernal knot]

Did yu genuinely get scared

Thats inasne

[frozen hull]

UwU

[proven torrent]

being scared of nosk is preposterous work I won't lie

[vernal knot]

Izu what do you mean

[umbral night]

Off topic but i like ash greninja better

[remote elbow]

After i finish my second playthrough and get 112% im saving in the pantheons hall ofo gods whatever so i can redo the boss fights when i want

[frozen hull]

Rawr

[remote elbow]

Yeah

Deepnest is scawy bro

[vernal knot]

Dusk your not an animal

[proven torrent]

how young do you need to be to be scared by nosk ❤️‍🩹

[remote elbow]

Im 15

[frozen hull]

OwO

[vernal knot]

-_-

[umbral night]

Maybe if i had played it blind it'd have scared me

Who knows

[proven torrent]

honestly true

[rustic salmon]

welp, i finished the vid, nice clear

[proven torrent]

I was partially spoiled about nosk so maybe thats why

[rustic salmon]

fun watch

grats

[umbral night]

Same

[frozen storm]

Now I can finally go to study
Ggs Leon

[agile pewter]

Thank you

[remote elbow]

Bro i go into deepnest and out i dont bother to explore i just get the dream warrior the charm where when you run trhough an enemy it tskes damage the tram pass harrah and use the stag to get tf out

[frozen storm]

Nice video

[vernal knot]

What about the Pale Ore

[proven torrent]

he doesnt seem to care about ore

[umbral night]

Js get the map
It's not too bad

[remote elbow]

I did that on my current playthrough

[agile pewter]

Anyway time to post 13 short slops for every boss respectively

[remote elbow]

No i have the nail maxed but im perfectly contempt if my nail aint maxed and im not trying to get 112%

[frozen storm]

Free money

[umbral night]

Content = satisfied
Contempt = scorn
Just saying

[compact wasp]

how tf do you have your nail maxxed without beating nosk?

[proven torrent]

I believe theyre on a new file

[umbral night]

Nail *ain't maxed

Is what he wrote

[remote elbow]

Nah i genuinely avoid touching the enemies near the bennch where nosk is cuz they transform and theg scarred the shit out of me when i was there on my first playthrough so i avoid touching them so i basicly have super low soul and i dont fight like 20% of the enemies not to mention that the area sucks

[compact wasp]

huh

[remote elbow]

I BEAT NOSK GODDAMN IT

[compact wasp]

you can one shot them with strength on

[proven torrent]

chill mate

[remote elbow]

But ill never fight him again

[remote elbow]

Yeah my bad

[proven torrent]

nosk cannot be this serious

[compact wasp]

do you plan on doing pantheons then?

[vernal knot]

WN will make him a heart attagk 🎋

[remote elbow]

Exacly thats why i avoid them if i touch them they transform and i gotta deal with that

[compact wasp]

do you have a phobia?

[remote elbow]

Kinda yes

[compact wasp]

of some kind?

[proven torrent]

might genuinely kill him bro

[compact wasp]

or are you kind of like underage?

[proven torrent]

he said he was 15

[remote elbow]

Yeah thallasaphobia

[umbral night]

15

[compact wasp]

oh I didn't check that

ty for letting me know

but how tf is nosk that serious to a 15 year old without arachnophobia

[remote elbow]

Bro nothing is gonna stop me from doing the pantheon of hollownest

[proven torrent]

isn't that for water or am I wrong

[umbral night]

So what is that

[compact wasp]

fear of water bodies

[remote elbow]

Tl is easy compared to tkg

[umbral night]

Cool

[remote elbow]

No its the fear of the deep or whatever it is its like when youre in a deep body of water and like you cant see the end it kinda scares me or even if its like 15ft of water

[umbral night]

Well maybe cuz i guess tmg has more complex patterns than tl
Can't say i disagree

[remote elbow]

He does

[proven torrent]

whats tl again im slow

[umbral night]

Traitor lord

[remote elbow]

Traitor lord

[proven torrent]

okay forgot they existed

[remote elbow]

One of the worse and most excruciating bosses in hk

[umbral night]

Gpz is worse imo

[remote elbow]

I mostly hated him cuz you had to do him healess but after doing failed champion and nkg im quit used to not healing

[remote elbow]

Never did him

[umbral night]

Nice

[rich zealot]

The pantheon version of tmg is definitely harder than tl

[remote elbow]

I hope so

[rich zealot]

Gpz is uniroincally hard 😭

[frozen storm]

The pantheon version is easier

[rich zealot]

Well i'd have to disagree

[umbral night]

Yeah

[frozen storm]

You don't need Grimmchild equipped so free notches

[remote elbow]

Wait whay

[rich zealot]

?

[frozen storm]

The boss doesn't change at all

And you also can dream nail him one more time in the bow

[rich zealot]

what does grimmchild have to do with this or am i forgetting summ

[remote elbow]

If i onlt i could go to the pantheons rn and do sistsers of battle but i cant cuz i have several things to do before that and the pantheons are last before i do thk

[umbral night]

Oh cool

I'll use that

I usually hit him into puffer

[remote elbow]

I used nail arts

[compact wasp]

sometimes I forget spike hasn't done p5

heck I forget everyday

[frozen storm]

That's dumb

With all honesty

[compact wasp]

I don't even know why but spike is locked in my head as someone who has done p5

and everytime I am disappointed

[frozen storm]

Why would you hit him into puffer without dream nailing him

[umbral night]

Hey who said i was smart🤣

[remote elbow]

Also.a tip you can pogo on tip of him and kinda avoid the things tou have to dodge when he does the puffer attack

[rich zealot]

Damn bro 😭

[frozen storm]

You can dream nail twice

Then hit him into pufferfish

[umbral night]

Why😂

[frozen storm]

And shriek twice if you want

[compact wasp]

I did say Idon't know

[umbral night]

Cool

[umbral night]

I'll remember that

[compact wasp]

yk its a very weird random thought process

[frozen storm]

The timing is hard

[compact wasp]

not with quick cast

[remote elbow]

Tbh i dont use my spells with most bosses cuz they are mostly to quick like nkg

[compact wasp]

use quick cast

[frozen storm]

Quick casting dream nail

Makes sense

[umbral night]

Dnail twice into nail hit into puffer shriek twice
Got it

[compact wasp]

oh you mean dream nail

[compact wasp]

dude I also use dream wielder a lot, don't blame me

[remote elbow]

Quick cast?

[frozen storm]

I blame you

[thin oasis]

so like a year or so ago it was discovered that its possible to do godhome low% with 44% instead of 45%
what changed to knock off a %?

[compact wasp]

and for grimm I usually just line up a nail art instead of dream nail

[frozen storm]

Comparison of ||Focus Cast vs Quick Cast||

||Video Link (Note: By default, A is the Focus button, F is the Quick Cast button. However, this video has it set so that F is Focus and V is Quick Cast)||

[compact wasp]

one more person is about to have their mindblown

[remote elbow]

Is that a charm?

[compact wasp]

nope

its a button

[remote elbow]

Ah

[frozen storm]

Keybind

[compact wasp]

on keyboard its F. on playstation its R1 and on xbox its RB

[remote elbow]

I must not exist on switxh then

Oor maybe

[compact wasp]

R on switch

[umbral night]

Not sure
You can ask in #speedrunning
Someone will know

[remote elbow]

Ill check

I confirm thatbit does exist

[umbral night]

So next question then
Will you use it from now on?

[remote elbow]

No

Probobly not

[rich zealot]

i already switched my keybinds lmao

[remote elbow]

I mostly use my nail

[rich zealot]

i have quick cast on Lshift

so i cast with my pinky now 😭

[umbral night]

That's your left pinky then?

[rich zealot]

yes

[umbral night]

Change it gang

You can't spam

[rich zealot]

nah bro its the most optimal

trvst

[frozen storm]

Imo

[compact wasp]

so you are just bad at spells despite us giving you the easy way to become good at them

[rich zealot]

[frozen storm]

Use a pedal to bind quick cast

[remote elbow]

BRUH

Im a nail type of guy so idc that much about spells unless its the coloseum of fools

[frozen storm]

It's honestly not a bad idea to use a racing sim to play hk

[compact wasp]

you are not the nail type of guy, you suck at one type so chose the nail type kind of guy

[frozen storm]

Actually it's a great idea

[kind rune]

I wanna see that happen

[dry creek]

large mistakes made today…..

[kind rune]

Like techno speedrunning hardcore on a steering wheel

Steel soul on a racing sim

[frozen storm]

I remember that

[compact wasp]

and the dude fucking killed it too

[umbral night]

I have not seen that

[remote elbow]

No i dont use nail arts cuz with most bosses they sre inconvenient and to slow and i dont use spells cuz most of the time i need soul to heal and i only use spells if im doing an easy boss fighting

[kind rune]

Watch techno NOW

[umbral night]

I'll look it up

[compact wasp]

quick cast lets you use it on every boss

its fast enough for even nkg

and pure vessel

[remote elbow]

Yeah but i need the soul to heal

[compact wasp]

if you are in such dire need to heal that you can't cast one spell, then you ain't winning that fight

[kind rune]

Spells are def more efficient but u should let causuals play how they want imo

[remote elbow]

Im not a casual

[compact wasp]

oh I just like to debate

I am not going to force them to change how they play

[kind rune]

U have percentage in ur name

[remote elbow]

No well its cuz i like to have extra soul incase i need it idk i use my spells 3rd phase on nkg

[remote elbow]

Yeah

[compact wasp]

spells do more damage than your max nail.

[remote elbow]

Exacly

Ik

Its just that with some bosses its like i gotta learn to time them and i csnt be bothered to do that

[compact wasp]

you don't gotta learn to time them with quick cast

that's the literal point I am making

spells become as fast as a normal nail strike

[kind rune]

Twister my beloved

[remote elbow]

I use my spells alot in the coloseum of fools when i get good enough to the point where all my spoul doesnt go to healing

[remote elbow]

True

I didnt know avout quick cast before

[foggy sable]

I did a small amount of markoth practice and was so close to a pb this sucks

[umbral night]

Um so he plays Minecraft on a steering wheel right?

[compact wasp]

he is dead now

[frozen storm]

"I'm a nail guy" = beginner

[compact wasp]

techno passed away

[umbral night]

Ohh

May he find peace

[frozen storm]

So long nerds

[remote elbow]

I used to focuse on heals exclusively in my first playthrough bruhhhhh

My top priority was having enough soul to heal and itnwas the same with bosses

[compact wasp]

then become good enough to not need to heal. you defeated nkg. you have enough timing to understand that dodging is more valuable than being obsessed with healing now

[frozen storm]

I actually cried watching that video

[remote elbow]

I didnt defeat nkg

[compact wasp]

but for nkg, being obsessed with healing won't save you

[frozen storm]

Watch potato wars, it's so good

[remote elbow]

I dont dodge well i do just not with all the enemies i cant be bothered to

[compact wasp]

why do people pretend there is a thing called "Spell guy and nail guy"?

when its always using both at even average level?

[frozen storm]

That doesn't exist

[foggy sable]

I simply play spell builds

[compact wasp]

when you become even slightly good, you will use both

[umbral night]

Ok thanks
Will do

[obtuse venture]

Hk X Subnautica crossover trust people

[compact wasp]

that is going to happen

[remote elbow]

Im.not im obsessed with finding the mist efficient way of doing as much damage as quicm as possible while having soul to.heal during the firt phase

[dry creek]

you could be having so much more fun

if you just dodged

[foggy sable]

behold
https://youtu.be/HhRlB4-OrR8

no nail

[remote elbow]

Ik i could dodge but why would i i have 8 masks and i always have enough soul

[compact wasp]

grey you went so far into the skill tree you came out of the roots

actually finished a perfect circle

[foggy sable]

that was a year ago...

so long

[dry creek]

“why would i have fun ever!”

[compact wasp]

ye imagine a fight needing you to actually see what the boss is doing and adapting

preposterous

[dry creek]

so boring also

[remote elbow]

I dodge certain enemies like everything in deepnest or in queens garden's im talking about the easier ones like in forgotten crossroads or some in city of tears

[frozen storm]

Self promo isn't allowed...

[foggy sable]

anyway I'm so mad I almost had a markoth win streak but I took 1 hit

[compact wasp]

grey isn't it late for you?

[foggy sable]

technically it was a pb of number in one sitting

[frozen storm]

Like 2 am probably

[foggy sable]

I was writing an essay until 20 minutes ago

[dry creek]

dodge bosses better next rather than tanking everything. then you wouldnt have to heal as much

[compact wasp]

apparently 4 am

[remote elbow]

Also i dodge when im in the early game

[compact wasp]

why the hell are you awake?

[foggy sable]

I have all my classes late

[compact wasp]

go to bed please

[remote elbow]

I will with some of them

[foggy sable]

I do all my best writing at this time anyway

[remote elbow]

Not with the easy ones

[dry creek]

why only some

[foggy sable]

which is why I was writing my essay

[remote elbow]

Or idk

Man

[dry creek]

why. it takes so little effort to dodge them

[compact wasp]

but long story short. Stop pretending you are a nail guy. You are not. you sucked at using spells because of the input delay. We told you how to not have input delay. Try it out.

[remote elbow]

Ok

[foggy sable]

anyway this is a good time, my mind is much more at peace than during the day

[remote elbow]

Youre right

[foggy sable]

and calm

[compact wasp]

night owl

[umbral night]

You scared him into agreement 🤣

Never seen anything more entertaining

[compact wasp]

well am I wrong?

[foggy sable]

nope

[compact wasp]

I can actually relate too

I thought I was bad at spells until I started using quick cast

now I can do both

[foggy sable]

people should use quick cast

but don't

because tc neglected to teach it

[remote elbow]

Well whatever it took me 54h on my first playthrough to beat the game and i have like 70 attemps on nkg and i barely can grt to his second phase and i have 115h in the game

[frozen storm]

Quick cast is not very necessary
But it's amazing

[remote elbow]

Not at all

[frozen storm]

Silksong made me use quick cast more

[umbral night]

No
But don't scare me pls

[frozen storm]

Iykyk

[remote elbow]

I dotn use spells in silksong not yet anyway

[compact wasp]

ye silksong has wind up time

took me more time to use spells there

really not a fan of the wind up time

[frozen storm]

The button

[compact wasp]

I hate that part

[remote elbow]

I kinda quit sk tbh

[compact wasp]

why can't the spells in silksong be instant

[frozen storm]

That's why I use a certain spell that doesn't have it

[compact wasp]

nine sols. hornet edition

[frozen storm]

[frozen hull]

PEAK SOLS MENTIONED

[compact wasp]

I love that spell so much lol

[dim lance]

i should play nine sols

[frozen hull]

[compact wasp]

i should proabbyl be sleeping

ive been meaning to check out nine sols i heard its good

Ehhhh

[frozen hull]

Explode

[frozen storm]

The beginning is so weak

[torn kiln]

I'm balls deep into a steel soul run

[frozen storm]

I had horrible first impressions

[torn kiln]

no save scumming

[frozen storm]

You're what..?

[frozen hull]

[compact wasp]

don't act like hk's beginning is not weak

but it does become really good though

[frozen storm]

At least you didn't have a shitton cutscenes to annoy you

[compact wasp]

I wish I can finish nine sols soon enough

[compact wasp]

okay that part is true

[cobalt linden]

Triple shade dash

[frozen storm]

And the map branches a lot in hk

Crossroads is extremely big

[strong skiff]

period cramps 🔥

[compact wasp]

then again hk is just perfect

[strong skiff]

i think thats 4

[compact wasp]

movement, combat, platforming, story

[frozen storm]

Period cramps aren't as bad as the beginning of nine sols

[frozen storm]

THE OST

[compact wasp]

hk has it all

[cobalt linden]

(One normal one then 3 from the crystal)

[compact wasp]

literally strong in virtually everything

and combat is so good

[frozen storm]

Silksong is HK but different

[compact wasp]

dude I really DO NOT LIEK how you can have only one spell in silksong

[frozen storm]

Worse combat, better OST (imo)

[frozen storm]

You can always use SC

[compact wasp]

I use HC

[frozen storm]

Although I don't like it

[compact wasp]

cuz I like the pogo

I used to prefer silksong's combat but after doing p5 all bindings, I definitely like hk more

[frozen storm]

I use W1C because I can't bother to learn the others lmao

[compact wasp]

ngl I am still curious how far can I go in hk with 800 hours

idk that thought has rooted deep into my head

[frozen storm]

I noticed

I'm worried about getting into college

[compact wasp]

same here

but I did everything I can to get into college

[frozen storm]

And I still have years to wait

[compact wasp]

being worried now changes nothing

[compact wasp]

ye I just usually could never really sink hours into something in my life

for personal reasons

especially when its skill based

hk is the first place where I can

[frozen storm]

I have a lot of hours in chess

And I still suck

[compact wasp]

perhaps

but there is no way to be good at chess

[frozen storm]

Unless you're Magnus

[compact wasp]

that dude was born for chess

its still hilarious to me that people thought hikaru and magnus were rivals

it was never close.

[frozen storm]

Imagine playing chess
Being good
And being married

[frozen storm]

Yep

[umbral night]

Bold statement there Gui

Magnus is leagues above

Guys whats a fun but not too hard challenge to do in a hk playthrough

Nail only?

[frozen storm]

All bindings

[eternal owl]

That's only in the pantheons

[umbral night]

Old nail white spells

[frozen storm]

Old nail white spells

[frozen storm]

🐌

[eternal owl]

Could do that

I only finished the game once but i believe i can do that

Will do when i finish ds3

Im at the second boss and ts is hard

[umbral night]

That's enough
Beating p5 is enough

Imo

[eternal owl]

Never beat p5

Stopped at p4

[umbral night]

That's also enough
I never reached p4

Go for it

[frozen storm]

Because you're kinda stubborn

[umbral night]

Tbh you'll never meet a 90s unc who isn't

Stubbornness runs in that generation

[worthy peak]

You are in like top 5 percent no?

Probably better than that honestly

[umbral night]

He probably is

[strong skiff]

crafted town is such a flop

[frozen storm]

1650 on lichess isn't worth anything

[worthy peak]

I'm at a chess club now and you are probably better than anyone in here

[frozen storm]

If it were to be on chess.com though

[worthy peak]

Well discounting instructors...

[frozen storm]

I have beaten an NM once

Fluke, yes

He was on a bad day, yes

But still an NM

[frozen storm]

He was handicapped, yes

But a win is a win

[worthy peak]

That's like insane

[frozen storm]

Brazilian NM Eric Piassi

It was on OTB

But I don't really count that win

[umbral night]

What's otb?

[frozen storm]

Handicapped, blitz, on a bad day, and he was letting his time run to coach other people
