[coral nimbus]

its like a child but you are not actively traumatizing it

[agile tulip]

oh that counts? sweet

[coral nimbus]

You never saw a Tesla cleartly

[distant kestrel]

I think you are traumatizing it

it learns from you

[dense geode]

yea, though not to the same extent as a child

i remember awhile back 4chan made an ai hate the world by just shitposting in the dms or smth

[distant kestrel]

five pebbles made real

[coral nimbus]

I will traumatize a Tesla into crashing itself actively

[vagrant jackal]

Yea, for some reason i always forget miros birds exist lol

Don't ask why im replying to something sent many hours ago

[tacit forge]

wha

theyre like one of the more iconic rw creatures

[tacit forge]

its fine lol

[vagrant jackal]

If i hadn't played downpour id remember them

It's just that whenever i think of the word miros i think of miros vultures

[distant kestrel]

that's such an insult to birds

they're far better

[short rover]

I just drowned in the LF - SU gate

too much stalling

[distant kestrel]

he's doing it

[dense geode]

okay i didnt know mouth spearing was that easy of a cheese

[distant kestrel]

see

red lizards are free

[dense geode]

oh joy

they can just ignore the mouth spear stun

awesome

actually question

[distant kestrel]

that happens when you hit the back of their neck

[coral nimbus]

sometimes it hits their chest for no reason

[dense geode]

i know mouth spears deal x1.25 damage to the lizard. does that stack wtih hunters already x1.25 spear damage

[coral nimbus]

doesn't hunter do 1.25 dmg flat rather than having a multiplier

[dense geode]

i believe so

so would it be hunters 1.25 multiplied by the x1.25 mouth spear damage?

[coral nimbus]

it would

[distant kestrel]

it's 1.5 for mouth hits

[dense geode]

oh dam

do explosive spears work for mouth spears

[distant kestrel]

they do but seem to do less damage from my experience

[coral nimbus]

they should from waht i remember, but the explosion is wonky

[distant kestrel]

I'm guessing the lizard head armor blocks a lot of the explosion damage

negative damage multiplier on head hits and all

[dense geode]

then wouldnt that mean its 1.25 + 6 (explosive) = 7 damage x 1.5?

[distant kestrel]

the actual spear still hits harder though

i stabbed a green lizard in the mouth with a boomstick and he walked it off

which I've never seen them do when stabbed in the body

[short rover]

reds have 50% explosion res if i remember correctly

[coral nimbus]

💥

[dense geode]

so i should just stick to trying to get a cheeky mouth spear in and get behind it and stab it to death

[distant kestrel]

that does the trick

[distant kestrel]

kinda wanna test this out later

[dense geode]

is this enough room to do the mouth spear and stab behind?

or should i move to outskirts

[distant kestrel]

just follow my lead

[dense geode]

im gonna practice in arena first

@distant kestrel how did you get a longer stun

i mouth spear twice, and by the time im behind him he snatches me

[balmy falcon]

one of those probably didn't count as a mouthspear then

[dense geode]

well thats annoying

[balmy falcon]

if you successfully get both they stay stunned for a Really long time

[agile tulip]

yeah for some really cool reason when you set up a mouth spear sometimes it'll hit in some weird spot behind the head and itll count as a bodyshot

which almost certainly means you die because red lizard lunge

[dense geode]

they really just said fuck it and created a monster with zero balance didnt they

[agile tulip]

there's not many people in the red lizard fan club, no.

[dense geode]

i should stop pinging timby so much for simple questions

[distant kestrel]

nooo I really don't mind

probably what banbs said

if you want to tell me something that's what the ping is for, there's no telling how long it'll take me to notice otherwise

[dense geode]

well

its more of a "they might be busy" kinda thing

but ive also found out the reds do get stunned from an explosive mouth spear.

and its a 50/50 if the second explosive one will kill it or not. even if it doesnt, one spear hit finishes them

and after the second one, they tend to get stunned long enough to get that extra hit in if needed

[distant kestrel]

those explosive spears still have a fat stun

esp on the mouth

10k club

[dense geode]

i think im gonna use mouth spears but use explosive spears since thats what i set up with for foe beforehand

[dense geode]

[short rover]

use a scav bomb

[distant kestrel]

the ping log grows

[agile tulip]

whenever a bomb leaves my hand i die and the creature it hits lives

[dense geode]

i got a checky kill with that once

[distant kestrel]

yes I don't think I've ever used a bomb effectively

1.1k hours btw

[dense geode]

a scav died and drop a bomb right here. and i had used my explosive spears (missed one). so i hit the bomb with a rock as the red came at me and i entered the pipe and it died lmoa

[agile tulip]

doesnt help that the lethal range for yourself is an entire city block

but you have to hit something else directly for it to kill properly

[distant kestrel]

reusable weapons are just better a lot of the time aren't they

[dense geode]

ik but it was still funny

[agile tulip]

oh im just talking from my experience because bombs are never kind to me

[dense geode]

oh, well i can agree with you there

i always blow myself into orbit while the pink just crawls away or smth

[distant kestrel]

I have actually died like 50 times trying to disarm a scav and stab them immediately but I grab a bomb instead

[short rover]

yeah, I even started taking normal spears over Explosive spears when I was messing around with hunters metro

[agile tulip]

YES

i swear it's like bombs were made as a contingency plan for scavs just in case you try to mindlessly spam grab to steal and throw scav spears

[short rover]

of course electric spears are also just busted

Espear > spear > explosive spear

[distant kestrel]

splosive is better as hunter because you can carry a regular one in your hand

I still don't like running around with them though

getting a 1 and 2 combo with regular sticks feels so good

[agile tulip]

espear as survivor is fun because legal pull spear from walls

[short rover]

idk I kind of liked two normals

explosive spears were a bit overkill in that situation ig

[distant kestrel]

I see some top scorerunners take explosives on their back to throw at the red lizards

but it's so easy to miss them they're so insane

[agile tulip]

the scorerunners or the lizards??????

[distant kestrel]

both tbh

imagine genuinely going into cycle -5 8 hours into your run

[agile tulip]

i dont imagine because it's terrifying

plus i cant imagine going for red lizards consistently since im cursed with bodyshot disease

why does the spear into the mouth just teleport into the back and then i die

[distant kestrel]

I was thinking about actually going for them next run

if I have some karma to back me up

(both of my best scores have no red lizards)

[short rover]

don't go for red lizards go for Miros vultures

[agile tulip]

i've heard from a person that dp scoreruns arent as interesting

ive also heard that miros vultures are the best designed creature so))))

[short rover]

I was trying to make clipping into metro meta, but hunters kills squads make no sense

game refuses to spawn them

[agile tulip]

rip

metro with no scav

[short rover]

you can still get like 450~ points a cycle with no squads but there isnt any point because CC is just faster and easier

[agile tulip]

in the end it all returns to chimney

[distant kestrel]

in the end

cheese reigns supreme

[dense geode]

you'll get someone eventually budy

[austere schooner]

i support the timby strike

[dense geode]

what is the timby strke

man

i killed all lizards, and got to the filtration gate and it was under 3 pips so all the black lizards had gone into their dens by the time i got in :(

[celest ruin]

erm
vid of challenge #videos-and-streams message

[dense geode]

Challenge: Foe
Difficulty: 7/10
(Yes i caved and made a shitty thumbnail while is was rendering.)

I had more fun doing this one than I thought I would. Most runs died to the bastard (red) but once he was out of the way it was somewhat smooth sailing from then. The white lizard just happened to show up when it did, and I didn't expect to get a black lizard considering it was about to rain but I'm glad I did it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSMSqJMhNrA
(also this one has better music choice lmao)

[distant kestrel]

oh my god

I love your lizard

I would mouthspear it two (2) times and then stab it in the back five (5) times

[dense geode]

same 🤝

little bastard

[austere schooner]

nice hunter i would take body damage from a mouth spear from it one (1) time then bite it one (1) thousand times

[dense geode]

i think im gonna do guardian next

get that shit out of the way

[distant kestrel]

after your chainsaw bite attack I would smash my keyboard twenty (20) times

and yell and stuff

[dense geode]

the best tatic

[dawn dragon]

true story

[patent turtle]

I love backflipping off it's so funny

[balmy falcon]

I SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT

[stone sable]

Mach 20

[patent turtle]

I got the idea from you backflipping in sub lmao

[balmy falcon]

i saved it for the ravine at least

YEAH i planned that from the start

i love that you can't even see your body at the end because of the game over banner

[stone sable]

tbh I didnt do anything fancy for mine lmao

although I do have a shaded one where you literally cant see anything lmao

[balmy falcon]

my crowning achievement is being the first person to do shoreline and also have my corpse slide through the pipe and swan dive into the water

the rest of mine weren't that special

[stone sable]

sub was my fav

mostly cause of the bounce and death pose

[dawn dragon]

does backflipping increase speed

[stone sable]

no

just height

[dawn dragon]

ah

[balmy falcon]

the bounce oh my god

died standing up

oh this is the wrong version

wait no it's not, it's just untrimmed

[tranquil stream]

it increases style points

[balmy falcon]

here's the trimmed version

[tranquil stream]

which is absolutely necessary

[dawn dragon]

this is not ultrakill smh

[coral nimbus]

Omg is that an Ultrakill reference?????!?!??!??

[patent turtle]

I'm going to be using skins for most of my challenges I think
descension will stay regular(with sun hat) but the rest will be... special

[balmy falcon]

i've been using iterator skins for basically all of mine after descension

[patent turtle]

and because I am extremely predictable the murder ones will be ultrascug

[balmy falcon]

join me in using a pebbles skin for journey

[stone sable]

I overlaid a fart noise when I posted it lol

[balmy falcon]

it's objectively hilarious

[patent turtle]

oh I have a better(worse?) one

[balmy falcon]

[patent turtle]

when I get it done tomorrow or the day after you'll see

depending on how much skill issue I have

[balmy falcon]

oh now i'm so curious

asfgjk

good luck with FS

[stone sable]

here?

its right at the end

[balmy falcon]

oh i tried so hard to do my IC death in that room

i kept grabbing the pole

HOLY SHIT GW INNOVATION

NICE

[stone sable]

oh I didn't realize it wasn't a new thing lol

looking back some of these look so pathetic

liike scug just falls an inch and dies

[balmy falcon]

bluh

wifi on my laptop died

we’ll see when that one sends

basically everyone has been using uh

i love seeing people use different rooms and so far no one's used a different GW room

oh there it sent

like everyone else has used B02

i did try a few other rooms, but i hadn't fully grasped how ctff worked then

GW took me an hour and a half before we figured out you could literally just hold left

[stone sable]

Tbh Ive tried B02

But like you did I kept grabbing poles

So naturally C09 looked promising

[balmy falcon]

i did eye that one but couldn't figure it out

we have options!!! how exciting

https://youtu.be/mihbDcwds18

i compiled mine if you want to see the rest

[stone sable]

You gotta make sure to hold left when u fall

[balmy falcon]

yeah cause you have to hold the direction you fall off the ledge from right?

but for b06 people were saying you had to thread the needle and hit the ground below the bend

i accidentally proved that that's not necessary

this was literally impossible for me to pull off rip

[stone sable]

I didnt realize for drainage you didnt need to use the fall glitch

[balmy falcon]

oh yeah kelp tunnel you can just jump

[patent turtle]

I forgot that kelp spot existed in drainage

[balmy falcon]

but someone else used ah

[patent turtle]

fastfall is funnier though

[balmy falcon]

c01 i think

[stone sable]

I had to look at other runs to figure that out

[balmy falcon]

yeah ctff is way funnier in most cases

[stone sable]

Cause who tf goes to drainage

[balmy falcon]

i love seeing descension deaths where they slam through water so fast they die anyway to the floor underneath

[stone sable]

I think CC is also one of my faves

[balmy falcon]

your CC pick was so good

[patent turtle]

I’m only falling normally in places where you can do so and it’s Funny(wall flips)

[stone sable]

My shaded was a terrible choice tho

Idk why I went through with it

I was too dedicated

[balmy falcon]

i knew you added a fart sound effect but it still made me laugh out loud

[stone sable]

Adds more oumf to the bounce

[balmy falcon]

whistles in ascension and journey

[patent turtle]

also navigator

[tranquil stream]

[balmy falcon]

oh yeah navi

DS is fast

[stone sable]

Well yeah but like

[balmy falcon]

fun fact about my DS death though

that was the first time i did leech swim in full

it wasn't that bad

[stone sable]

Who goes there outside of having to or for challenges lmao

[balmy falcon]

the bad part was i jumped down into the kelp pit and lived

and then died to the kelp

so i respawned in GW...

[coral nimbus]

Did they hurt you?

[balmy falcon]

okay Fair. DS is kind of pretty though

[tranquil stream]

I learned to love drainage

[patent turtle]

it’s…. okay-ish

[tranquil stream]

just don't go into THAT one tunnel

[balmy falcon]

that's unspecific

[tranquil stream]

you know the one with water and leeches

[stone sable]

Its just kind of out of the way for me

[balmy falcon]

ah, leech tunnel

[coral nimbus]

Thats a few of them

[patent turtle]

Which tunnel with water and leeches

[balmy falcon]

[patent turtle]

there’s like 4

[tranquil stream]

avoid all of them

unless necessary

[balmy falcon]

upper DS is decent, leech tunnel can go die

bane of my navi attempts

[coral nimbus]

Upper DS has snails everywhere

[flat cedar]

So glad its over lmao
https://youtu.be/nWn4O5PMNHc

[balmy falcon]

you can grab the snail and fling them at least

[dawn dragon]

Cheesed to meet you

[balmy falcon]

can't do shit about leeches

[dawn dragon]

Just eat the leeches

Nom nom

[coral nimbus]

Anyways i need to plan out a @ Guardian route because it sounds kinda funny

[balmy falcon]

https://youtu.be/dXoxcv2r9tc?t=332

snail bullying is always right

lmao dumbass

gonna see if i can do a quick tasty run

[patent turtle]

Oh god the vulture showing up in industrial

[flat cedar]

True, I got pretty confused to what to do, I wanted to just ignore it, but it would certainly grab me anyways

[balmy falcon]

it turns out centipedes whose dens are in the ceiling are not great candidates for tasty

hehe kissy

yo this scav has a tail

[balmy falcon]

okay apparently asshole is still tamed

this white lizard has been following me around for a while now

wait there's two

and a green just showed up

what is happening

... why are there two

this is not my quad spawn save

[austere schooner]

navigator pog

[balmy falcon]

... something feels broken about this save

i never tamed this purple but it is following me

high lizard rep doesn't make lizards follow you does it

[austere schooner]

nope

maybe you saved it from a vulture

[balmy falcon]

this is the fourth lizard to follow me

i don't even have max rep with lizards ??

vulture ate my lizard :(

that's one mask though

... and it ate another one

[coral nimbus]

Get your pets eaten bozo

[balmy falcon]

whoops i died

rip the one mask i got

got the same one again though

saved

vultures are annoying to fight

how can i send four spears into this bitch and it still flies away

[coral nimbus]

Thats why you need a rock to stun it before stabby stab stab can commence

[austere schooner]

jellyfish if real

[balmy falcon]

rock worked very well, but. oops.

traffic jam

[coral nimbus]

Turn the vulture into spaghetti

[balmy falcon]

grub not working anymore that vulture showed up in my navi run already demasked

[coral nimbus]

Have you tried turning the grub on and off?

[balmy falcon]

yeah

[craggy rivet]

I think none of the vultures were in the off screen den when you threw the grub

[coral nimbus]

Fuck
If the restarting method doesnt work
Nothing will

[balmy falcon]

i switched to IC-SC bridge and still no

do these vultures never sleep

what the fuck. tiny pink

clean

[south mural]

how to send videos larger than 15 mins on youtube?

[austere schooner]

verify your email or smn

google can probably help better

[coral nimbus]

Yea you need to verify

[balmy falcon]

it's like one vulture a cycle i swear i need to sleep anyway

[austere schooner]

you can get a couple masks from chimney, it’s close

[balmy falcon]

just cozying up to the corpse of their main predator. no biggie

[south mural]

is it just an message or does it cost?

[austere schooner]

google!!

[south mural]

so just send the stuff on google drive? i dont understand

[dense geode]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/958418404769943572/1102878035188916294/Worm_grass_transparent.gif

[austere schooner]

google search engine

https://google.com

[coral nimbus]

I think its just giving your phone number to get a message/code

[south mural]

yeah ok

https://youtu.be/ZkMYHnNkxzY can you open and see this video?

oh

[balmy falcon]

the process seems to be summon vulture with grub > get 4 hits in, vulture escapes > grub stops working for the rest of the cycle

[mild inlet]

idk if thats okay bc i can also put it on ytif not

[balmy falcon]

and that's with me smacking them with rocks like three times

[south mural]

maybe try to turn it into an embeddable format? i know files that need to download are just invalidated sometimes

[craggy rivet]

well

[south mural]

the video is unavailable for some reason

[craggy rivet]

copyrights?

[mild inlet]

oh maybe

yeah i could mute it

[south mural]

maybe just make it an .mp4 file and embed it here? no need for youtube

[mild inlet]

it should be working??

idk

[south mural]

use the plus here, and choose the .mp4 version of Visitor

[mild inlet]

i know how to upload files

the youtube video should be working

[south mural]

idk then, youtube seems funky

[mild inlet]

it specifically says to use youtube so like idk 😭

[tacit forge]

the video works fine for me

[south mural]

anything embeddable works, Youtube is NEEDED only for one challenge

[mild inlet]

well there you go lmao

[tacit forge]

i think its something on your end leech

[mild inlet]

its easier for me anyway

[south mural]

idk, here is how mine version says

[tacit forge]

huh

weird

[south mural]

(ignore the weird language stuff, it means "this video is unavailable")

[mild inlet]

think its a country thing

[craggy rivet]

maybe repost it
and don't put ft talylor swift

and mute it

[balmy falcon]

preview is fine for me

[south mural]

actually it is fine, just needed to click on link instead of embed lol

[balmy falcon]

yeah it might be you alt

[south mural]

here, it works but embed is unavaliable for some reason

sorry

[balmy falcon]

huh, weird

[south mural]

WAIT WAIT WAIT

did you have DP on?

[balmy falcon]

i think sometimes youtube blocks previews but not the video?

never heard of that working by region though

[balmy falcon]

[mild inlet]

oh

maybe

[balmy falcon]

msc needs to be off for all challenges

though visitor is so simple…?

[mild inlet]

augh

[craggy rivet]

rip

[balmy falcon]

idk verifiers have final say

[south mural]

idk, staff may verify this since DP doesnt do anything here

[tacit forge]

i would count it

but the verifiers probably wont

[mild inlet]

didnt even know that part was a dp thing

[south mural]

well at least you learned about the "DP must be off" thing early ig

[mild inlet]

i knew about that

i didnt realize i had it on

[balmy falcon]

yeah you might get off with a slap on the wrist for this one, but idk

[mild inlet]

ill just delete it

[south mural]

can you show us you full modlist?

[tacit forge]

technically you didnt use any msc exclusive stuff to make it easier so maybe

[south mural]

yeah, but, if he/she has the time, maybe just make a version with it cut off or on next att?

[tacit forge]

i guess so

[coral nimbus]

Dont you need speedrun verification enabled? So it doesn't matter if you did or didn't get help from msc, you are getting rejected regardless

[south mural]

can we just hope verifiers will have mercy instead? mine visitor run got verified without speedrun validation, so i hope this one will be too

[coral nimbus]

I think mods let easier runs slide without it, for obvious reasons

[south mural]

Visitor is pretty damn easy when compared to others, so this one can still be verified ig

[craggy rivet]

I BEAT NAVIGATOR
time to upload to yt

the file is too large for it to automatically embed in discord

[south mural]

youtube?

[craggy rivet]

yes

[coral nimbus]

You can always try to render it
H.255 + MP4 and shitty quality do wonders to the file size

[flat cedar]

[craggy rivet]

I like good quality though

[coral nimbus]

I turned a 2GB video into under 100MB by just rendering it

[craggy rivet]

how do you do that?

[coral nimbus]

That is not my problem

[coral nimbus]

Lower quality (which still looks good), H.255 codec and a video file type known for its absurdly tiny size

[craggy rivet]

I'll just upload it anyway

with 30 fps

[flat cedar]

[south mural]

what is the best setup for journey?

[craggy rivet]

https://youtu.be/zjs-Fuof-FE

[coral nimbus]

I'd guess it's just getting yourself a vul mask then rushing down to cc, hi, su, ds, sb and then depths

[flat cedar]

I can confirm this

https://youtu.be/P38svOtI2VM

Nice timing, I just complete it right now lmao

And there's a weird funny thing in the video

[coral nimbus]

I skipped right across Journey and finished Ascension (for the orange name) lol

[craggy rivet]

Next I'm going to do journey and ascension at the same time

why not?

also I'm not using max cycle length for it lol

I'll just have to be lucky

[flat cedar]

Super very lucky actually

[coral nimbus]

If you dont karma cache right after fp to SU you wont have enough time to finish ascension unless you are a movement god

[craggy rivet]

but fp gives you max karma?

[coral nimbus]

Yk what, you are free to try

[flat cedar]

The good thing is that you can just shelter if you notice that you got a short cycle and get ascension anyways

[craggy rivet]

I am not a movement god, but I am good at it

[dense geode]

it most likely is

but oh well

[coral nimbus]

It really depends on how fast you can talk to Pebs really

[craggy rivet]

why do you have to karma cache?

[dense geode]

oh are we giving ascension advice

[craggy rivet]

wait wait wait

you don't have to live the cycle you talk to pebs?

[coral nimbus]

Because you cut down the backtrack really hard

[dense geode]

no

as soon as you get mark, quit out

[coral nimbus]

You dont have to go back down the wall, back through hi or back through CC

[dense geode]

and youll keep it and the karma (minus 1)

[craggy rivet]

OH

[dense geode]

thats why you should one cycle outskirts to pebbles for ascensio

then one cycle to depths

[coral nimbus]

I tried explaining to them why i think that Journey + ascension is impossible at once but im having a braindead moment

[dense geode]

its alright, happens to everyone

[coral nimbus]

I was super confident myself when going for it, then i got humbled hard

And it made me learn a few new things about the game

[craggy rivet]

I will do journey first

then ascension in a different run

[dense geode]

journey + ascension is impossible (unless you are really really good at movement) as if you tried to go for journey, you will eat up too much time and be unable to get ascension as quitting out is intended to be used for ascension. the 39 minute limit takes that into count.

going for journey will add too much time to the ascension run, failing it

[flat cedar]

Idk why but journey took me less attempts than Navigator lmao

[coral nimbus]

Ty Tanning
Or can i call you Tanner

[dense geode]

Tanning or Tanny is fine

I prefer Tanny, Tanning Oil is just a funny nickname i gave myself lmao

[short rover]

you can do journey and ascension at the same time

[dense geode]

if you are highly skilled at movement yes

[short rover]

the timer is not that tight

[coral nimbus]

Ik its not but there is a simple issue
Im noob

[dense geode]

it was tight for me even with save quit

[short rover]

oh brackets lol

[flat cedar]

But still every failure will punish you severely hard

[dense geode]

i realized and edited, you're still right tho

ik its possible, but for me and casuals it isnt lmao

[craggy rivet]

I'm going to attempt journey

[coral nimbus]

Gl

[dense geode]

gl

oh wait

[craggy rivet]

time to get to fp

[dense geode]

before you do

pratice your filtration route

wait, no im dumb

you can get nueron light for journey

[coral nimbus]

Yea please prepare

You dont get that luxury in ascension

[dense geode]

see cal, it happened to me too

[flat cedar]

Get a vulture mask, it's so useful for real

[dense geode]

honestly its not too bad from my experience

but you will need to practice it a little

and pray for good black lizard rng during hte actual run

[coral nimbus]

How tight is the time on journey?
You do have 13 mins and with the right preparation most rng predators aka lizes arent a problem

[dense geode]

well

going down wall and chimney is much faster than climbin them

industrial too (to an extent)

its probably gonna be a little tight from the sounds of it

but doable

[craggy rivet]

I did navigator so I've got cc to ds down pat

[flat cedar]

Will this glitch get my run rejected?? /jk

[dense geode]

you might get a funky comment on ti by staff

[south mural]

accidentally beaten Journey while practicing

[coral nimbus]

The problem with DS in runs where ur going to depths is the actual route to SB gate being full of stupidly nerve-wracking swimming

[flat cedar]

Survivor baller

Survivor baller

[dense geode]

you get used to it

[coral nimbus]

I did
After a while

[dense geode]

ye

but it is stressful at first with how swimming is in this game

[coral nimbus]

Still coming out with 1 breath pip is just like wtf

[south mural]

a single bubbleweed in stomach helps a lot, plus remember corner boosting doesnt drain breath

[dense geode]

pipe boosting underwater with no breath penalty:

[coral nimbus]

Bubbleweed in stomach doesn't do anything
You have to hold it
Unless you mean preparation

[dense geode]

alt where did your roles go

you are no longer green

[coral nimbus]

He acidentally left this server instead of the MSC one

[dense geode]

bruh

[flat cedar]

DS it's no too hard in journey since you don't get to meet the leeches

[dense geode]

can staff do anything about it?

[coral nimbus]

Its not hard
Its just making me far more nervous than it should
I haven't drowned there outside of my first playthrough but i cant help it

[dense geode]

tbf the fear is justified

sometimes i swear slugcat just gets stuck on smth underwater as ther breath runs out

its nerve wracking

[coral nimbus]

The worst thing is that you cannot see alot of the underwater ways clearly until you actually try going through there

[flat cedar]

That's why the oxygen meter was a godsend for me

Now I think I can't swim ever again without it lmao

[coral nimbus]

Schwim

[south mural]

Accidentally left the server when leaving MSC one

[flat cedar]

Also you will need to hold your breath every time your scug gets to swim so you can know if you're even worthy to get mad about it

[south mural]

Now i cannot post Maxwell : (

Wait

[tranquil stream]

[south mural]

You can post without Batfly role?

[coral nimbus]

The return of the King

[flat cedar]

It feels so off to spawn in 5P after ascending lmao

[south mural]

Outskirts too

[flat cedar]

True

[south mural]

Like any place other than those 3 sub shelters feel off

Imagine if you could respawn after completing Hunter

Just returning to SH>SL gate with moon dead again

[flat cedar]

Would feel like, we truly live in a cycle lmao

[south mural]

Saint there respawning for the infiniteth time knowing well it has to ascend LttM and FP again

[flat cedar]

Very true, now I think I should get some sleep

It doesn't asks you to download tho

@distant kestrel

[tacit forge]

how the turntables

now your video isnt loading for me

[south mural]

it will load in 50 mins, when the resolution stuff is done

[tacit forge]

oh right

[south mural]

this is my challenge 19 done

[tacit forge]

goddamn

youre close to that ascended role

[south mural]

and i dont know what challenge to do for it

also @tacit forge can you watch the video now?

[tacit forge]

yeah it works now

[coral nimbus]

Mhm, perfectly watchable

[coral nimbus]

What will be your 20?

[tacit forge]

which challenges havent you done?

[south mural]

Idk, must go to school now, bye

[tacit forge]

bye

[unkempt fog]

If any mods are reading this, it turns out I was being a goober and forgot about disabling MSC in my Saint run, so it's technically invalid! I actually did the run a couple months ago, just for fun, and I didn't read the "NO MSC" statement. I'll be back with an official Saint run soon! Real sorry.

As much as it pains me to be framed an idiot on the challenge sheet, I hope you mark the run as such!

[vast ridge]

I should do saint into outlaw

Would be funny I think

Murder starving into all out rage

@distant kestrel how many passages are recommended for outlaw

[distant kestrel]

Id say go for the 6 easy ones

Survivor outlaw hunter scholar chieftain and dragon slayer

That leaves you with a 7x multiplier at the end which is pretty good

[vast ridge]

Chieftain

I’d rather do wanderer

Does scholar require me to revive moon

I don’t remember how that passage works 100%

[dense geode]

no

scholar for hunter just means picking up 3 colored pearls after meeting fp

[distant kestrel]

Yeah

It's super free

Pebbles pearl wall pearl and then you can do industrial or smth

[balmy falcon]

i for some reason kept my hunter pearl until chimney, and then i ditched it in the chimney shelter near the IC gate

i think i wanted to take it to moon before remembering it would be pointless because the collections menu is msc exclusive and i already know what it says

[distant kestrel]

I always pawn it off immediately

[balmy falcon]

i should have tossed it at the start yeah

[south mural]

Hello chat again, school ended early due to warcrimes today

[balmy falcon]

[south mural]

I think i will do Mathyr just bc of the dark blue colour

[dense geode]

i nabbed wall pearl, chimney pearl, then industrial pearl omw to garbage for chieftain (and wanderer)

it free

[south mural]

Mine were just 2 shoreline pearls and the Wall one

[tacit forge]

huh

anyways im almost done with descension

then ill do charged because i cant be bothered to lineage stuff

[south mural]

Lineaging is easy when you realize you dont need to do the entire kill, just hit it with a rock 5 seconds before it dies.

[vast ridge]

Pebbles?

So just a random orange black or white one?

[balmy falcon]

yeah just throw the shit in his chamber around probably

[dense geode]

i like to play a game when i go to pebbles called "QUICK! Cram all his pearls into the corner!"

dumbass takes so long monologuing he loses every time

[balmy falcon]

i should do that

normally i just practice whiplashes and downthrowing during whiplashes while he babbles at me

[dense geode]

i either play that game or just dance

might as well fuck around while god tells me to kill myself correctly

[dense geode]

you should try upthrowing practice too, especially when you are right under pebbles

[balmy falcon]

oh i do

i did that for ascension before i realized i could just quit out LMAO

[tranquil stream]

You can always lineage that one centipup to save time traveling to industrial

[balmy falcon]

it's so funny to hit him with a spear though

[tacit forge]

i just style on the dude by doing backflips

[balmy falcon]

literally before i did that i thought he would just immediately fry my synapses

but he actually just stares at you in disappointment first

[dense geode]

fitting

[south mural]

I learned you can backlip forwards while messing with Pebsi

[distant kestrel]

yeah they count for scholar

but only one

you can't just touch 3 of his and get it

[dense geode]

[south mural]

What is the name of this scav?

[dense geode]

Jumpy

[tacit forge]

Jeremiah

[steel compass]

does the disable karma requirements remix option also affect echoes

or only gates

[balmy falcon]

only gates

[short rover]

Only gates

[steel compass]

sadge

[balmy falcon]

that'd be fuckin sweet if it worked on echoes huh

[short rover]

Don't turn that on if you want do complete most challenges here, though.

I think it is allowed in navigator?

[steel compass]

from what i've heard it's allowed for single cycle challenges

don't have any confirmation for that yet though

[short rover]

Okay, that's cool

[flat cedar]

Does anyone know if my survivor pearl collection in downpour still counts for the Scholar challenge?

[steel compass]

you need downpour disabled for the challenges

[tacit forge]

no you need to have screenshots of all the pearls in a single shelter + msc disabled

[flat cedar]

What would happen if I enter that savefile with Downpour disabled? will I loss the extra downpour pearls?

[balmy falcon]

most allow it because it's effectively the same thing as allowing karma caching, but i'm still paranoid

[tacit forge]

i assume you will?

just submit a screenshot like this

[flat cedar]

Yea, I did collect all the pearls but it was in downpour, I guess I'll need to do it again then

[dense geode]

first time ive seen it done in that shelter before

congrats tho

[tacit forge]

i tried to pick a shelter that was in the "middle" of the map

yeah but scholar was fun

[dense geode]

i mostly see scholar done with an outskirts or shoreline shelter

shoreline gang

[cunning glacier]

Gotta get that lore

[tacit forge]

bottom IC shelter gang

[dense geode]

it was exactly that lmao

i had no idea what the lore was, and just started gathering the pearls cause i wanted to learn it.

had no idea it was a community hcallenge either

[cunning glacier]

🤝

[tacit forge]

I just watched Daszombes' video the same night i finished the game

i never figured out what the pearls did in my first playthrough

[dense geode]

i tend to prefer figuring out lore for games on my own, or at least beat the game before i do. at the time i hadnt beaten hunter so i didnt wanna spoil myself

though, if the story is hotline miami 2 levels of confusing, ill just take the video

[tacit forge]

i unfortunately was a dumb stupid fucking idiot and spoiled the entire game for myslelf when i found LTTM cuz i didnt know what to do

[dense geode]

i feel like im one of the rare ones who didnt eat moons neurons when i first found her

i didnt know what she did, but she screamed when i grabbed it so i let it go so she wouldnt kill me

[tacit forge]

i didnt too

[cunning glacier]

My primal instinct to go up led me to not even meet moon on my first playthrough lmao

[tacit forge]

i just kinda stood there

and was confused

[dense geode]

i still think my favorite memory was getting to SC for the first time. that feeling of "oh, this is something important" only to be met with spider land

[flat cedar]

I did ate 4 of them and got very confused lmao

[tacit forge]

my favourite memory is entering IC for the first time and that little tune played

that was magical

[dense geode]

same thing for SC for me!!!

[tacit forge]

[dense geode]

i dontknow the name but its the calm track. it played as i crossed the bridges and just made me feel like this area was something important

which in the lore it is

[coral nimbus]

Nowadays my fav moment when going through the game is hearing Wind Chimes play as i go through CC

[tacit forge]

this!!!
https://youtu.be/e__DlCPPMg8

i love this track

[dense geode]

https://youtu.be/lHctDlB3Cxc
i found it

[dense geode]

i didnt know the track was that short ngl.

vibeworld has spoiled me

[flat cedar]

I still remember when I loved Pebbles and was so confused why people were booing him

[dense geode]

its stuff like above instances that make me adore good music in games. i feel sometimes it goes overlooked how impactful osts can be within a game

[tacit forge]

i found the SC gate in IC but never went through it

[coral nimbus]

Shaded tracks are really atmospheric

[tacit forge]

i saw the karma 5 requierement and was like "thats the fucking final boss area"

[dense geode]

see for me, it only made me more curious what was in there. i spent like an hour suffering in IC just to get my karma high enough

[cunning glacier]

I ascend every time I hear Floes

[tacit forge]

i went up to chimney and sky islands before ever finding gw or sc

[dense geode]

shaded was my third ever region. only and hour later i backtracked and went to chimney iirc

[tacit forge]

i was hellbent on the idea that going up=progress

[dense geode]

scav land is my favorite land

goofy assholes

[flat cedar]

I beat Saint before ever going to Farm arrays lmao

[dense geode]

also i agree

[tacit forge]

thats impressive tbh

[dense geode]

it fits very well with the area itself

its calm, but also mysterious imo

[tacit forge]

TRUE

i remember the name of pretty much every track and where it plays

[dense geode]

i dont remember the names but i can tell if a track is good if i remember it after leaving the area it plays

[tacit forge]

most memoreable OST of all time

[dense geode]

that, and if I felt it further enhanced what was going on

like the final boss in Ori WotWs. that was a really good track

[flat cedar]

The first time I killed a lizard Kayava started playing and I thought It was like a victory fanfare lmao

[dense geode]

piglins in minecraft be like:

[tacit forge]

anywas chat i gtg to bed

gn

[dense geode]

gn

[flat cedar]

Does anyone know how to manually unlock Hunter? I got ascended yesterday but somehow it's still locked

Gn Walekks

[dense geode]

thats odd

did you ascend as monk or survivor?

[flat cedar]

Survivor

[dense geode]

thats.. odd

[austere schooner]

if you have downpour there’s an option in msc config under the cheats tab

[dense geode]

[austere schooner]

otherwise you have to put some text file in your game files, you can probably find that by searching in this server

[flat cedar]

I disabled karma requirements because I was doing Journey Challenge, and suddenly Hunter got locked

[dense geode]

well apparently both unlock him so dumb question

[dense geode]

grizz

youve done guardian right?

[austere schooner]

yes

[dense geode]

how much of a time commitment would you say it coudl take

[austere schooner]

i played for i think 5 hours with 100 lizard rep

[dense geode]

wait you can do that?

thats genius

[austere schooner]

yeah

it’s very very very goodn

[dense geode]

did you just repeatedly feed lizards over and over before attempting the challenge

[austere schooner]

just don’t forget to raise your scav rep like i did

yeah, if you get a pink down to the room outside the starting shelter it’s quite easy to play fetch

since it always tries to leave the room the same way

[dense geode]

oh right, feeding registers upon the food being bitten, not sheltered

good idea

[austere schooner]

you can track rep with devtools or count 50 feedings if you feel that’s cheating

[dense geode]

i shall get started on that then

thanks

[agile tulip]

would be pretty epic if everyone just swapped over to playing on neutral lizard saves

[austere schooner]

pro tips: snails spawn in industrial, and if you don’t get the worm first you have to do a fancy spear trick to get up to chimney

[dense geode]

so get the worm first

?

[agile tulip]

yeah i got worm first as well, snail is super freaking heavy

[austere schooner]

worm first or copy what i did at 29:00 https://youtu.be/GLc6Zr3N0Wo

[dense geode]

i forgot i did friend on this file. hello Mr Moody

[patent turtle]

journey run got to filtration and then I got lost and died to rain

[balmy falcon]

[patent turtle]

anyone got a map of the fastest route down filtration including the small arrow pipes that the maps don't mark?

[balmy falcon]

i can grab you the pebbles% world record holder's video

actually that's not useful, you can't see shit

room 1

room 2

room 3

https://youtu.be/508mr4C4hm0?t=1217

video anyway in case it's helpful

[patent turtle]

OH thank you so much!!

[balmy falcon]

oh i finally understand wtf rucoon did

this is faster for room 2

[patent turtle]

I went down the right in the first room and immediately panicked because I was going all over and nothing went where I thought it did lmaoo

[balmy falcon]

if you can jump across successfully

rip

i also went right during journey, but i was very much winging it

i got very lucky, i did the last tunnel in room 3 as the room was flooding

[patent turtle]

I was at room 3 when flooding got to me

[balmy falcon]

[dense geode]

into chimney. why are snails so heavy

[agile tulip]

it's how they store all the energy, very dense

[dense geode]

question.

if i take the snail and guardian to communications array. I need to take screenshots going back through SL > CC, CC > IH, and IH > SU right

id rather not deal with rain deer on top of a snail

wait

[verbal mural]

to get to depths you have to go through farm arrays

[agile tulip]

grapple worms like, instantly drown

[dense geode]

id have to go anyway

[verbal mural]

yeah

[dense geode]

[agile tulip]

it's tragic

[dense geode]

im going to suffer

[agile tulip]

duality bugs

infinite air snail and 0 air worm

[verbal mural]

wish i got a clip but when i jumped off the deer for the first time, the snail popped and i landed safely out of the worm grass, but my worm landed perfectly next to me but in the worm grass

the deer will be a hell of their own

[agile tulip]

tbh when i think of how farm arrays went i just remember this

[dense geode]

i got global liz rep to 100 so i hope that shit doesnt happen

[dense geode]

do i just need to leave the worm in a room by itself while i wait for the deer?

or snail

[balmy falcon]

i think others have done that, i remember seeing a video doing something similar

don't remember where they left the worm though

[dense geode]

i love it when my snail or worm clips out of the shelter

thank you game, very cool

[balmy falcon]

[dense geode]

im gonna go get max karma.

before i even try, is this jump possible with a backflip roll

or do i need to chuck the snail over there first

[balmy falcon]

it is normally, unsure about it with additional weight

i think anything you can throwboost pounce over is doable with backflip roll pounce generally?

[dense geode]

roll pounce gets me over just fine

but i have a snail so i dont think it will

i am going to enjoy stabbing this snail in depths after the guardian visit

little shithead

[flat cedar]

It's done

[verbal mural]

i think i just brough the two of them and two puffs to the same room, and then summoned the deer

fed the deer and then quickly set up the handswap glitch while it was still eating

also for the first gaps entering sky islands, i'm pretty sure you can roll pounce and the interactions with the creature bodies boosts your pounce you can roll pounce normally

for the 2nd set of bridges, i crossed this one by grappling to the other side and hoping that the snail pop upon landing didn't knock one of us into the bottomless pit

[dense geode]

i hate sky islands this place sucks

[dense bone]

Gonna jump on the navigator bandwagon - discovered the vibe of impressionist jazz and rain world while doing it and I have never been more enlightened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48IMtGnu2zU

[coral nimbus]

just pray that the black lizes dont block you or try to lure them

[balmy falcon]

fuck that one black lizard that killed my ascension run at the bottom of room 2

[flat cedar]

That Monk was tasty for sure
https://youtu.be/Wd2LdXPUixw

[coral nimbus]

they killed me there many times

[balmy falcon]

[coral nimbus]

the worst one completely ignored my lure and just sat his ass on this chokepoint

[balmy falcon]

[flat cedar]

I followed this route because I always stumbled with lizards up, you can put a spear and grab the pole from below as well

Plus there's less pipes on the way so it should give you a couple of extra seconds

[balmy falcon]

bud can you please move so i can get the mask

oops, hit them by accident

anyway

lizard is fine, i hit their head

.

problem

demasked vulture. vulture is not dead. vulture escaped

nope, we're good, it came back

man tamed lizards really aggro on vultures don't they

[tranquil stream]

they protec

[balmy falcon]

limzard cannot decide if it wants to den with me

high lizard rep is so weird

dude why are all the pole plants duped

what did i do

there's two here

there's four in this room

[tranquil stream]

double spawn?

[balmy falcon]

..................

but it's outskirts...

i haven't starved on this save i don't think? not that it would be useful in any capacity

i definitely didn't intentionally double spawn IC though

i only noticed it happening after i did navi, and i have 200+ cycles on this save so i must have passed through IC before

not a third time, bitch

and that's six!

i hate fighting vultures.

[tranquil stream]

are you doing elder?

[balmy falcon]

uh...

do i

restart my cycle

this bitch dead as hell

also yes i am

[tranquil stream]

why industrial?

[balmy falcon]

i'm familiar with where i can bait vultures into tight spots so i can spam spears

[tranquil stream]

I found one sweet spot in GW to do it

[dense geode]

i hope one of my pending 3 get verified today so i can get champion

[balmy falcon]

i tried that one briefly, but it escaped

ugh i hate this toll

how many attempts is it going to take to fully kit these bastards out

[dense geode]

which toll?

[balmy falcon]

outskirts

[tranquil stream]

today? This is rather optimistic

[dense geode]

oh

[tranquil stream]

no!

[balmy falcon]

i probably should have done GW but i already committed to ferrying all six of my masks to outskirts

[tranquil stream]

[dense geode]

i mean, lets hope timby has a verify spree, or challenge helper apps open 🙏

[tranquil stream]

there are 5 scavs in outskirts you can't do elder here

[dense geode]

me and 18 other people watching autumns challenge get verified near instantly

[tranquil stream]

[dense geode]

[dense geode]

oh yeah

also, that toll sucks ass due to the bug

[tranquil stream]

what bug?

[dense geode]

if you come into the toll from farm arrays, but go back in the pipe

the game and scavs count that as not paying for some reason

and become angy

[tranquil stream]

[dense geode]

dp fixed that by adding the extra room but we must play without that

also if you must, there are 6 scavs there as hunter. farm vultures near the scav storeroom in farm arrays for a few cycles, then carry em through the gate and become a mask charity for a few minutes

[balmy falcon]

[dense geode]

thats my eventual plan for elder when i get around to it, though im stuck with snotnose the snail for the time being

[balmy falcon]

okay hell i’ll just run over to GW then

i was going to ask cause one scav just took two masks

[tranquil stream]

naaaaah it's "all 6 scavs" should be kitted

[balmy falcon]

greedy asshole

[tranquil stream]

still can't get over it

[dense geode]

thats just all scavs

your life is simple a monitory value

[balmy falcon]

tbh

which toll is better for GW

stronghold or SL gate?

i guess the den is kind of closer to SL gate toll though

[tranquil stream]

both are equaly good

[dense geode]

SL wouldnt have a vulture problem

just sayin

[tranquil stream]

fair

and there are 7 scavs on each toll

[dense geode]

the amount of times i go to stronghodl toll and a vulture is just fuckin with the scavs

[tranquil stream]

I still have no clue how many of them you should kit

[dense geode]

6

[tranquil stream]

"ALL 6"

[dense geode]

then kit all 7 for bragging rights

duh

[tranquil stream]

also server announcement still says "all scavs" without specifying a number

[dense geode]

id just do the whole toll to be safe

then you can say you technically did kit ALL scavs

[tranquil stream]

yeah

I had to redo it to be safe

[dense geode]

or just say you did kit all 6 scavs, just so happened to be a 7th

[tranquil stream]

I couldn't afford to wait for my initial submission to be unverified 2 weeks later

[balmy falcon]

1. completely forgot my dumbass tried to lineage here for tasty
2. lmao get fucked bitch

[dense geode]

gwyn PLEASE open apps i beg

[dense geode]

deserved

[coral nimbus]

Admin powers

Yuck

[dense geode]

iirc helpers arent supposed to verify their own challenges but im not gonna open that can of worms. plus for all i know some other staff did it

so we just gotta wait ~~and judge ~~

[balmy falcon]

buddy please

[tranquil stream]

[coral nimbus]

I will gladly judge the higher powers for ignoring the plebs

[dense geode]

thats his spot now

good luck

[balmy falcon]

i got up after i grabbed that screenshot but every time i enter from GW man

every single time

[dense geode]

where is that?

[balmy falcon]

IC-GW gate

right outside it

[dense geode]

He must miss you

[balmy falcon]

there is... something very weird going on in my save

what happened to noot mom

[tacit forge]

Good morning chat

[balmy falcon]

morning

[tacit forge]

wait what challenge are you doing?

[coral nimbus]

This is a "your minecraft dog is still waiting for you on your 3yr old world" situation but its lizards instead

[balmy falcon]

elder, but the running tally of save weirdness so far:

1. one of the outskirts shelters is broken. whatever i put in it vanishes. does it show up on the map? sure, but then it vanishes into the ether and i can't pick it up anymore
2. inexplicably all pole plant spawns seem to be duped, yes this happens across regions
3. noot mom in outskirts is apparently nonexistent. this is a survivor save. i have not killed her. it has been at least 5 cycles and all i see are her orphaned children
4. every lizard in existence is trying to follow me, and sure i have high lizard rep but i did Not tame this many lizards

[tacit forge]

whahuh

that is messed up

[tranquil stream]

you might wanna get a fresh save

[dense geode]

[dense geode]

but that lizard rep thing is useful for challenges

[tranquil stream]

never bothered with it for any of challenges

[balmy falcon]

that's pretty much the main reason why i haven't wiped this save

i've used it for close to 10 challenges now

i'm just Very confused at what the hell is going on

[dense geode]

i did for guardian, its been very helpful

[tranquil stream]

but I did about 7 challenges on my pilgrimage save

[dense geode]

its so weird seeing the most common predator just completely ignore you lmao

[balmy falcon]

if it seems like it'll conflict with stuff in the challenge i'll wipe it, but i'm reluctant to do so currently

yeah lol

[tranquil stream]

and Bernard helped me with safari

[balmy falcon]

it's fun but it's strange

[dense geode]

idk what was up with my save but chimney was just lizard heaven

i saw like 3 pinks, a white, and a blue all in a single room

[tranquil stream]

guardian wasn't that hard for me but I would appreciate a higher rep for chef

[dense geode]

i got lizard rep high but forgor scav rep so the roles have reversed for me

they throw rocks at me they aer so mean

[tacit forge]

tbh i always forget lizard rep exists so it must be very low

[dense geode]

also is there a reason you can only gain up to 50 rep in one cycle?

like you have to take 2 cycles to get 100 global liz rep

[coral nimbus]

Videocult HATES fun thats wgy

[dense geode]

it just stops going up

videocult LOVES to see us suffer

[balmy falcon]

bruh.

i saved my passages for this i'm tired

[coral nimbus]

[balmy falcon]

this dude looks so damn cool, i keep seeing it

[vast ridge]

[balmy falcon]

what?

[vast ridge]

cheater

[dense geode]

not really

its simply the usage of the system and game mechanics

the rules dont prohibit it. though i am surprised it isnt, due to how it can undermine a lot of challenges

so thus, free game

[balmy falcon]

there uh

why is there like ten scavs here

what the fuck do i do about this

[dense geode]

get 10 masks

[balmy falcon]

STOP CLOGGING THE PIPE

i genuinely cannot tell which scavs are the toll scavs and which are just... random scavs that decided they really want to be around me

do i need the full cycle for elder or can i stop when they've been kitted out?

i think i might just not save this cycle regardless because i have genuinely no idea what to do

... it's too big

i guess i'm dumping this on youtube

[balmy falcon]
