Challenges Challenging (McXanderis' Thread)

[abstract jewel]

Oh god this is so true

[buoyant spruce]

how do people use arti jump ability while having a grapple worm?

[rigid pine]

You can bind I think to legacy controls which means throw will make you use it instead of jump, or bind arti's jump to special

[buoyant spruce]

1/3 btw

[peak edge]

I just never used a grapple worm

[buoyant spruce]

happy new year everyone!

[surreal kernel]

happy new year!!

[buoyant spruce]

wow summit is very difficult actually

i didnt think it would be this hard but

i got really close to the echo and an elite scavenger decided this run wasnt worth it

[mint gulch]

most do it with the mask already

[buoyant spruce]

why would i do things the intended way when i could make things complicated?

[mint gulch]

exactly why i don't plan on using the mask either

[lethal bough]

I didn't use the chieftain mask either

[mint gulch]

you're bigideas that's why

[lethal bough]

I'm not Bigideas
I'm just using the name of a famous ancient philosopher

[buoyant spruce]

sumit time

what is even there to document

i either die to a spitter spider or i die to me missing the pole

[mint gulch]

you document that

[buoyant spruce]

ok then

attempt 1 - died to a white lizard at the bottom of the wall

this run was funny because something strange happened between a spitter spider and a miros vulture

is this good documentation?

attempt 2 - died by falling into a pit at the leg

not the leg pit but a different one

this run was stupid because i wallpounced into the pit after using my jump
bruh

attempt 3 - died to a cyan lizard (did you know, 1/3?)

this run had nothing special about it, at underhang

i have a blue lizard i want gobler to find 🤥

i must pause attempts because i have a feast

[finite zenith]

blues are hard to find because they all look the same

[buoyant spruce]

oh

what lizards dont look the same??

[finite zenith]

all lizards that aren't blue, white, or black

blues have a 97% chance of tailtuft

[buoyant spruce]

are cyans in that list too?

[finite zenith]

oh yeah cyans are also all the same

debatably reds

[buoyant spruce]

reds all look the same unless they have a lighter skin tone

[finite zenith]

reds are sometimes unique

[buoyant spruce]

beehive

[finite zenith]

blues are also sometimes unique but the chance is so low it might as well not exist

as are whites

[buoyant spruce]

attempt 4 - died to the bottommost underhang pit

[buoyant spruce]

his ass not camoflauging

this attempt was funny because i saw a white lizard with spitter spider spit chase after me just to fall asleep as i kill the spitter spider responsible for it

oh no mu personal hell is hiding from me

#1403491163104870462

[mint gulch]

feel free to send them anyway though

because cool lizor

[buoyant spruce]

i was gonna but my ps5 app doesnt work

i cant wait until i can just like screenshot shit and send it to discord without having to wait 1500 years

attempt 5 - honestly i forgot since im halfway through attempt 6

attempt 6 - died to a pit because i suck at explosive jumping

this run had like nothing

honestly

[finite zenith]

what cycl

'

[buoyant spruce]

2

attempt 7 - died to a pit because poles

[finite zenith]

might be findable

[buoyant spruce]

i got a clip of him 🔜

[finite zenith]

shouldn't be necessary i don't think

[buoyant spruce]

attempt 8 - i keep dying to the same jump in the underhang

[cunning cairn]

attempt 9: i beat it lol

[mint gulch]

only took 1-2 hours

[buoyant spruce]

comotur you'll never guess what

[buoyant spruce]

https://youtu.be/TcuBgz95hJs?si=qX_6CugGsgppiH5s

[buoyant spruce]

[mint gulch]

the mask with an ❌ 🥹

[cunning cairn]

im a profet

its my secret talent

but nobody will ever know

[finite zenith]

salt spoilers in thumbnail.... this better be unlisted

[buoyant spruce]

why would i unlist it

[finite zenith]

putting spoilers in thumbnail means that people who are not spoiled can be spoiled by the thumbnail

[buoyant spruce]

ok

[finite zenith]

though idk if anyone is going to be recommended rwsc videos before completing their first playthrough 🥹

[buoyant spruce]

ok its unlisted

[buoyant spruce]

yeah i think like that would mean all the other videos ive made would be spoilers too

thumbnails*

[finite zenith]

your blue lizard's head color is called picnic day sky

[buoyant spruce]

awesome sauce

[finite zenith]

uncertain

okay yeah it's probably this guy

[buoyant spruce]

wow thats cool ty gobbler (everyone say ty gobbler)

[buoyant spruce]

blue guy gallery

i will decide a name on him later

[mint gulch]

THE 20 MILLION OF HIM

[mint gulch]

i need to make a google doc for all my memorable lizards

[mint gulch]

i may make a gif of him and bug, my favorite blue lizard

[buoyant spruce]

peak

can we get the gallery repinned every time i complete a challenge?

[mint gulch]

sure though i may forget

could also put it in your other thread

[buoyant spruce]

true!

name is blupert

[mint gulch]

bug and blupert

[buoyant spruce]

guys what challenge

do i do

13000th

message

[lethal bough]

Massacre

[buoyant spruce]

okie

wait how do you triple spawn gw?

is it sh gw hi ds gw?

and how do you live the starve cycle?

[lethal bough]

There's no sh gw in the base game 👻

[buoyant spruce]

oh gosh i have to use my brain for a second

sl gw?

[lethal bough]

There are two ways i know of
One's easy and the other is very hard
The easy one is SL GW HI SU DS GW
The hard one is DS GW HI SH SL GW

[buoyant spruce]

how do you live the starve cycle?

[lethal bough]

There's popcorn

Either near the gate to DS or SL

[buoyant spruce]

[lethal bough]

Have you done Triplopia?

[buoyant spruce]

nop

uw cc si lf su hi cc right?

and then just eat vulture?

[lethal bough]

I think eating a couple of lizards would be easier

[buoyant spruce]

Ok well i'll start with Massacre

[lethal bough]

Then you'd have at least 2 options of triplespawned regions to choose from

I personally liked bombing scavs more

[cunning cairn]

bombing scavs is superior

makes massacre very fun

[short siren]

holy shit what tbe fuc. why so pole plant

[buoyant spruce]

Urchin

[buoyant spruce]

i keep thinking everyone with the <@&1158641027746365490> role left the server because their name is white

[lethal bough]

comotur did leave the server

rip

[buoyant spruce]

i see

[lethal bough]

i enjoyed my 1 (one) peak game with you

[mint gulch]

i actually thought he didnfor a second

[lethal bough]

hopefully he returns soon

[finite zenith]

gossips about comotur

[buoyant spruce]

hey guys while the steam sale is active i wanna get games for my future pc... any recommendations.....

[finite zenith]

SCARLET HOLLOW

[lethal bough]

peak

[buoyant spruce]

too much

i am broke

[finite zenith]

the devs are wholesome married couple

and the game is absolutely awesome (visual novel so not for everyone i was suggesting it as like a /hj or whatever 💥)

in all seriousness get risk of rain ,,,,

both returns and 2 are good

don’t even consdier buying 2013 it’s atrocious

[lethal bough]

i recommend nine sols

[finite zenith]

nine @brisk mango s

[buoyant spruce]

actually i think rain world would probably be important too

[lethal bough]

it's unfortunately overshadowed by hollow knight but it's really good

[buoyant spruce]

gahhhh rain world and downpour are $16 combined

i am broke

[finite zenith]

you could get scarlet hollw for that price

[buoyant spruce]

i could bite you for free

[lethal bough]

celeste

[buoyant spruce]

celeste is in my cart

[lethal bough]

i should replay it

[buoyant spruce]

soma and peak are too

im considering pizza tower

[finite zenith]

all of these

[buoyant spruce]

wawa.

[lethal bough]

it's a good time to be a fan of indie games

[finite zenith]

i have never liked a non indie game

except for like risk of rain 2 if that counts i guess it got bought like a year or two ago

[lethal bough]

there are plenty of great triple a games
nowadays you just really gotta be careful with them

[mint gulch]

it really depends what your favorite game genre is mcxanderis

i have a lot of recommendations because i have over 100 games on my wishlist

or well i used to until i got bought like 15 new ones for christmas

[buoyant spruce]

well uh i like rain world

[mint gulch]

rw is not a genre 🥹

toem is cute if you want to play a simple little photo taking game

yume nikki is free idk ive never played it though but my friend likes it

ive heard a lot of good things about the to the moon series

the games are really low priced too

spiritfarer

sheepy: a short adventure is also free

portal 1 and 2

both ori games if you've yet to play them yet but will of the wisps is a little more and idk what your price range is

[buoyant spruce]

idrk my price range either

im confusing

[mint gulch]

noita if you want to crash out

[buoyant spruce]

[mint gulch]

yeah the ones i recommended are all below 5 usdd

usd

other than noita and will of the wisps

animal well (18 usd 🥹) and fez are good puzzle games

tunic too

[buoyant spruce]

tunic wow

[mint gulch]

dredge

[buoyant spruce]

i think ive heard of that game like once ever in my life

[mint gulch]

aetherius likes Until Then

[spice carbon]

Play fez so you can 100% rainworld

[mint gulch]

havent played these myself but i've heard good things about dave the diver, OFF, cult of the lamb, gris (not my kind of game but very pretty), a hat in time, hyper light drifter, omori, stray, and my little puppy

[cunning cairn]

goodbye

[buoyant spruce]

NO

[lethal bough]

bye

[buoyant spruce]

started up a silly run of pers because yk why not

si echo met

oops i jumped into the void rip

[buoyant spruce]

do you use ds entrance to sb?

[lethal bough]

it's one of the possible routes

[surreal kernel]

I was going to recomend this one too bcs of you liking rain world

[mint gulch]

ive been documenting my first tunic playthrough by spamming como's dms with screenshots

it's a really fun game though i like it a lot so far

[buoyant spruce]

guys how do i convince my friends that rw isnt boring

[mint gulch]

did they play it?

and did they get past outskirts

[buoyant spruce]

no

they never even play

[mint gulch]

🥹

[buoyant spruce]

im like PLS GUYS TRUST THIS GAME IS AWESOME

i messed up my words so bad

[mint gulch]

playing this game is an anxiety and fear simulator when you first start out

idk how people find it boring

[buoyant spruce]

[mint gulch]

i guess it's easy to say that when you're not the one playing it though

[finite zenith]

you are being ragebaited

[buoyant spruce]

yeah maybe

[cunning cairn]

Who’s that

[mint gulch]

someone named comotur

[buoyant spruce]

ok time to triple spawn gw

ok

[finite zenith]

pretty green

[buoyant spruce]

the crossing line for scavenger tolls is under the chieftain mask

[buoyant spruce]

time to triplespawn gw!

ok starve cycle time

i did nothing and the scavs hate me so i cant go anywhere

because its triplespawned gw and theres scavs everywhere

FUCK

defenseless laying on the ground btw

[lethal bough]

it's good they hate you. no need to search for them

[buoyant spruce]

it was starve cycle

[lethal bough]

i don't remember if i encountered them on my starve cycle
had to fight them a lot after that to get to a different shelter though

[buoyant spruce]

what is LC and MS in this chart?

[finite zenith]

LOST CITY and MOON’S SUPERSTRUCTURE

[buoyant spruce]

what does lost city mean?

[finite zenith]

LOST CITY being METROPOLIS

[buoyant spruce]

THANK YOU gobbler FOR HELPING ME

[finite zenith]

MOON’S SUPERSTRUCTURE being YOU PROBABLY KNOW ALREADY

you are WELCOME.

[buoyant spruce]

how do you get from sh to metro in one cycle?

[cunning cairn]

you just can

you have just enough time

[peak edge]

nighttime mechanic

[buoyant spruce]

doesnt ir only happen at the top of the wall

[finite zenith]

what

[spice carbon]

Happens anywhere that's safe from rain

Outer expanse has nighttime

[peak edge]

Metro is technically above that threshold

[buoyant spruce]

idk how to explain what i mean

[mint gulch]

at the yellow lizard ball room

i think

that's the room where rain isn't lethal

and everything above that ofc

[buoyant spruce]

Oh, 12 's

[mint gulch]

[buoyant spruce]

[cunning cairn]

Gleeful

[buoyant spruce]

Hallo! How is everyone

[lethal bough]

yo

[buoyant spruce]

thx wiki i was wondering how much food saint got for eating a red centipede

[mint gulch]

where? could you circle it in red

[lethal bough]

there

[spice carbon]

Sorry I'm a bit myopic, could we get some arrows too

[mint gulch]

and a subway surfers video

[stoic sinew]

and a Minecraft parkour clip too, possibly

[stoic sinew]

[mint gulch]

funniest thing today

the slime video was totally necessary

[lethal bough]

it's something i wanted to suggest

maybe i relayed my suggestion to mcxanderis telepathically

[buoyant spruce]

i got a vision from you

[mint gulch]

i love slime videos

[buoyant spruce]

real!!

vifeos

[mint gulch]

ok'd me and edited it

[buoyant spruce]

not real

[cunning cairn]

[buoyant spruce]

[stoic sinew]

fr, you blessed us mcxanderis

[buoyant spruce]

hey guys i go by she/her now

[spice carbon]

Hiya >_< (33/75) (she/her)

[mint gulch]

hi she/her now

[rigid pine]

How you doing she/her now

[buoyant spruce]

doing swell now that im she/her now

[peak edge]

Yay

[buoyant spruce]

balatro

[buoyant spruce]

finally

[buoyant spruce]

am i missing many threads? i feel as if there were not this few

I wish there was a mod kinda like Rainmeadow but it was more like a minecraft realm

So like your friend could be in UW but you could be in SI

Idk if this makes sense

Also ive never used rainmeadow so idk what its like

[spice carbon]

They can delist from inactivity afaik

Also rain meadow does have that option only in meadow mode tho, not story l think

[buoyant spruce]

yeah but i feel like 30 just went inactive at once or something

[spice carbon]

In meadow mode there's no creatures or items and it's sorta adventuring around

[buoyant spruce]

oh

[spice carbon]

There's collectibles to unlock other creatures to play as

Which can be fun

But yeah the appeal's just sightseeing with big server groups and doing goofy parkour stuff and communicating through stickers

Been months since l last checked it out and they mighta totally changed stuff but l wouldn't know

[finite zenith]

oh my goodness i was wondering the same

so many got vanquished at once

[buoyant spruce]

lights trash bin is dead

[mint gulch]

they're likely busy with exams, i miss their thread

[buoyant spruce]

CAS SAINT

[stoic sinew]

GAMBLINGG 🔥

[buoyant spruce]

that msc% thing looks very nice

[peak edge]

get a coin!

[buoyant spruce]

maybe maybe

but that requires me to learn.. routing...

and also a 4 hour speedrun may not be my cup of tea

oh, and i'd have to livestream the entire thing

or i'd have to take seperate 1 hour clips and splice them together

[buoyant spruce]

[buoyant spruce]

i just spent like 30 minutes drawing arti on starkiddys strawpage and it fucking deleted the second i tabbed out

FUCK

[mint gulch]

did you at least submit it 🥹 or is it gone forever

[buoyant spruce]

Gone forever

[mint gulch]

NOOOO

that's actually awful

[buoyant spruce]

drawing on strawpages is hell, my camera is locked here

i guess starkiddy is never getting art then

[buoyant spruce]

[rigid pine]

Lol

[buoyant spruce]

Skranklers museum is dead apparently

[buoyant spruce]

Uh time to plug my #1420926306035695686 Again

Because if you're not in it

Then you should maybe be in it if you're fine with Watcher spoilers

[buoyant spruce]

every second that msc% thing sounds more and more interesting

maybe a 4 hour speedrun is my cup of tea...

[buoyant spruce]

its snowing outside where i live

pebbles...

[lethal bough]

what is this thread 😭

[buoyant spruce]

wdym

[lethal bough]

get to work felpers

[mint gulch]

when it's stuff like this it is better to dm courier rather than saying it publicly or even in the guide thread, since it relates to rule breaking

felpers are voluntary helpers, we are not moderators

[spice carbon]

Yeah either courier or ticket

[buoyant spruce]

ohhh my apologies

...gulp

then ill dm courier

[mint gulch]

there's also a /ticket command if that would be less stressful

don't worry though snaff love getting modmail

[buoyant spruce]

ok... couris been notified

[mint gulch]

the sniffing

[peak edge]

[buoyant spruce]

thaat was a very cold walk

i just walked to a restuarant that was CLOSED

shoulda saw that coming

cold fingers make it hard to type

[buoyant spruce]

i wanna get into rain world speedrunning but 1. no pc and 2. everyone on there is so FAST i feel like im too late to the speedrunning scene that i cant catch up with all these people that are so crazy good at the game

Anyway, 2 weeks until I get my PC!!

@cunning cairn random pong because i havemt talked to you in like forever

[cunning cairn]

heya

[buoyant spruce]

[buoyant spruce]

Time to move to this thread

Since it's a challenge

Acrobat time!

the good thing is, if i do the challenge correctly, i dont have to find out the time measurements myself

since ps5 can just take a 3 minute clip

[buoyant spruce]

got a run that made it to the easternmost shelter, but it was above 3 minutes

i just need to do that over and over just remove timelosses

[buoyant spruce]

wow, this is hell

the ONLY room where i have to have precise movements in is also the laggiest fucking room in the underhang

also i would be documenting but ps app loads nothing

[buoyant spruce]

this is actually terrible

if any other room in the underhang was laggy i wouldnt be complaining

i am talking about this room

im already very inconsistent at clearing this room and it being laggy its like maaaan what the fuck

dude omg it feels like i just did everything right

i dont know how to save more time

i still need to save about 22 seconds worth of time

thats fucking crazy

im getting off this challenge

idk how to save so much more time

[buoyant spruce]

omg, uw_j02 is the worst room ever created

really wish i could show what im talking about but i mean ps app is hell on earth

i think i have at the most 15 frames per second in this room

where i need to eslide correctly

and then grapple to the wall correctly

oh and theres typically 2 cyan lizards in this room

im getting off

this is hell

[buoyant spruce]

[buoyant spruce]

i shouldve done hunter scholar

[buoyant spruce]

okay, another good acrobat attempt. getting closer

aaaa another close attempt!!

ANOTHER CLOSE ATTEMPT

i was literally right there

my attempts are getting really consistent now that uw_j02 isnt laggy anymore

[buoyant spruce]

https://youtu.be/G3qx4_2NrPk?si=mlJekHPN8BT_7cQU

Alright, cool, now we tune back to our regular scheduled spearmaster gameplay

[stoic sinew]

that's damn impressive

[buoyant spruce]

thank you!!

aetherius... may i friend you

[stoic sinew]

yeah sure!!

[buoyant spruce]

i love the ralseiheart emoji

[stoic sinew]

we love the fluffy boii

[buoyant spruce]

ok so 1. im doing fashionista and 2. im kinda considering doing reverse food quest where i eat everything NOT on the food quest while avoiding everything on the food quest for fasting

i have 3/5 masks for fashionista (spearmaster)

[fickle bone]

Lmao

[buoyant spruce]

Bibulet retired

[mint gulch]

retired or taking a break?

since they have insight role and not retired helper

[buoyant spruce]

i dunno

(i dont know what insight role means)

[rigid pine]

(Still sees helper stuff)

[lethal bough]

access to helper channels without helper role

[buoyant spruce]

Maybe i do Copycat

its sounds pretty fun

[peak edge]

Why not just @fluid meteor

At least from my experience you get the answer must faster if you ask directly

[buoyant spruce]

lol cause im scared of @'ing people

i forget its an option

[lethal bough]

it's usually alright to ping people

@mint gulch hi is it alright to ping you

[spice carbon]

@ james primate your game's neat ig

[buoyant spruce]

still.. scary 😱

i hate botheri g people

[cunning cairn]

run.

[buoyant spruce]

what

[lethal bough]

she's right tho

[peak edge]

tbh it is more "bothersome" to be discussed in places you cant see
at least I would rather be present when im being talked about

it could just be me though

[buoyant spruce]

[mint gulch]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

never ping me ever

[peak edge]

@mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch @mint gulch

Hahaha you are distracted from your studies

[fluid meteor]

More of a retirement cause my come-back is in question

[fluid meteor]

Fuuuuuuuuck

[peak edge]

It’s all a ploy and an evil one at that

[fluid meteor]

I will blame you if my grades fail

🫵

[peak edge]

[lethal bough]

blame the staff for everything

[rigid pine]

blame snadow

[narrow kindle]

@buoyant spruce bothers you

[stoic sinew]

yeah same

also discord is an app for messaging people, so a ping is a main function of that

[buoyant spruce]

why is martyr rated so high?

seems easy

[buoyant spruce]

i got the person who got me interested into rain wolrd interested in balatro

law of equivalent exchange

[peak edge]

Monk UD is different

[buoyant spruce]

yeah, still seems easy

maybe ill just have to try it for myself

[peak edge]

if you’re patient enough, any challenge is easy

[buoyant spruce]

Except Flytrap

[buoyant spruce]

ohh god, the speedrunning msc coins beckon my name

[stoic sinew]

are you gonna attempt that??

[buoyant spruce]

most likely

my love for speedrunning is infinite

[stoic sinew]

until when can we submit a run?

[buoyant spruce]

my love for coins compared to scavengers is infinite too

[buoyant spruce]

? i dont understand the question

[stoic sinew]

I've never properly speedran anything, I wonder if I should try

[stoic sinew]

grammar moment

when will the contest be over?

[buoyant spruce]

oh, Feb 19th!

||OH GOD I STARTED USING THE SHROOM EMOJI TOO AAAAAA||

[buoyant spruce]

Ascension is one of the most fun moments I've had during RWSC

Along with Broadcast and Pilgrimage
