Ollie's Experience

[simple sonnet]

well it had to have been there for a reason...

[stone cobalt]

if the game gives you something notable like that it may be worth keeping track of it

[real geyser]

Are you enjoying the Hunter's campaign so far

[simple sonnet]

Yes

didn't expect to be faster and able to carry 2 spears

[stone cobalt]

you are a hunter after all

[empty verge]

where are you at?

[real geyser]

I think they're still in Farm Arrays?

[simple sonnet]

Farm Arrays yeah

I need to like

actually survive

it's just like when I first started

[empty verge]

mhmm

[simple sonnet]

I mean, I want to go places

but I can't get through the gate and I kinda wanna go to sky islands

so

[empty verge]

wait why

[simple sonnet]

the symbol isn't high enough

because I died

[empty verge]

oh i see

[quasi cypress]

GG BRO

https://tenor.com/view/dance-moves-grooving-good-vibes-peridot-gif-17223478

you have finished banana mode

now feel free to hop to the strawberry

i can wait

so?

how do ya feel :D

[simple sonnet]

From the like maybe 10 mins I played of Hunter I know that I am cooked

Also the Monk ending was cool

[simple sonnet]

I feel like I’m withering away irl

[snow mauve]

wanna know a funny thing about that? (small surv/monk detail)
||you always could. all slugcats can eat all centipedes. 🙂||

[simple sonnet]

Monk doesn’t have to eat much
Survivor eats a little more
Meanwhile Hunter has to eat an entire country to hibernate once

[wheat tulip]

a QUARTER actually

[simple sonnet]

I noticed

[wheat tulip]

Also wow u started hunter

good luck

your skills will be sharpened

[simple sonnet]

I’m hoping Hunter can get this thread to 10000 messages

I want to have 10000 messages before I play the dlc

I wonder what the biggest thread of them all is actually

I need to ask for help with something so I can have all the tags on my thread

[wheat tulip]

oh it sure will

[coarse compass]

It's best not to tell players stuff like that.. I know Ollie found out eventually but try not to reveal mechanics and stuff like that

[wheat tulip]

I mean they did eat the food so like...

its something that can be observed

like with ur eyes

u can WATCH it 👀

[coarse compass]

👀

Yeah but still they didn't make that connection at the time

[simple sonnet]

I've been using a different bop emoji depending on the campaign I'm doing

too bad there's none for the dlc...

apart from whoever this is but I'm not gonna worry about that

[sweet tusk]

Yeah don't worry about it.

Now it's Hunter bop time.

[simple sonnet]

we don't be doing a lot of dancing tho
as most of the time I will be like this

[simple sonnet]

this game is very pretty

Sky Islands is like

might be the prettiest region

Wait so I could've gone to Sky Islands as my third region if I went a different path

[sweet tusk]

Sky Islands is as pretty as it is dangerous.

And it is really pretty.

[simple sonnet]

this is kinda funny

looking at older messages

this is also funny

I found the gate to industrial
then just
didn't use that one
and somehow ended up in Farm Arrays

[sweet tusk]

You used the door with the highest karma requirement that was also guarded by a scavenger toll.

You sure do love a challenge, huh?

[simple sonnet]

okay I've heard so many people call it "karma"

I don't know what karma is

I've seen it associated with the cycle symbols multiple times

[sweet tusk]

... Ah.

Don't worry about it.

[simple sonnet]

so I'm assuming that's what the symbols are

[sweet tusk]

I mean, you chose the most difficult path out of Outskirts possible.

[simple sonnet]

I have 230 pages of messages...

[simple sonnet]

Yeah

something I've noticed is that they lose their legs when they ascend

in both endings

this is like

the best game ever

btw

[simple sonnet]

Do you know what time it is

[empty verge]

no

[simple sonnet]

oh

dang

[empty verge]

wait what

[simple sonnet]

it's RAIN WORLD TIME

[simple sonnet]

(I proceeded to not play rain world)

I opened the game and everything I'm just dying-

[empty verge]

does your hunger bar match my username

[simple sonnet]

I was kinda right-

[empty verge]

(ス) ◉◉◉○○○|○○○

[simple sonnet]

okay after 10 years it's time to play the game

[empty verge]

good

(im also playing hunter)

[simple sonnet]

torment

oh wait can you tank more fall damage?

the strongest slugcatr

okay we're going back to sky islands

hopefully we don't die

I HATE BIRDS

I'm making zero progress

I got grabbed by the centipede

BUT I JUST LIKE

ATE IT

BEFORE IT COULD KILL ME

Hm

Maybe I'm paranoid

Maybe it's a coincidence

but why is there an X on Hunter

sheltering in sky islands

[hardy fox]

it could also be an airplane

[simple sonnet]

I really doubt it is but okay

Hunter starts with one of the glowing things and there's an X on his body

BIRDS

IT'S ALWAYS THE BIRD

[empty verge]

wait are you in Sky isalnds?

[simple sonnet]

Yeah

[empty verge]

you have a goal?

[simple sonnet]

Nope

SKY CENTIPEDE

WHY

rainbow

[solemn canyon]

🏳️‍🌈 islands

[simple sonnet]

PINK

[empty verge]

whats that your carrying

[simple sonnet]

spear and a pearl

LIZARDS

what do I do in this situation

[empty verge]

you fall

[simple sonnet]

I'm dying a lot

[coarse compass]

welcome to hunter

[simple sonnet]

hate this game

THERE ARE SO

SOOOOOOO MANY CREATURES

rope

mimics

what is that.

IT'S CEILING GUY

I ATE A SCAVENGER

Hunter is brutal.

I ATE 2 SCAVENGERS

NO

NONONONONONONO

SHELTER

I just ate like 3 of the mosquitos

smh

also music

ngl

I have no clue what to do here

[empty verge]

what cyycle areyou on?

[simple sonnet]

uhh Idk I'd need to die/sleep again to check

[empty verge]

you can check by holding map button

[simple sonnet]

I

never noticed that.

Wait

How the hell am I on Cycle 12??

[simple sonnet]

Why do I have 2 ghost pings here

[stable tangle]

Nothing happened

:)

[sweet tusk]

How's the adventure so far?

[hardy fox]

what makes something 2 pings specifically anyway

all i know is “there’s at least one ping”

[real geyser]

it tells you how many you got though

[stable tangle]

Yeah, on the channel

Before you click on it

[simple sonnet]

Not great actually
I have no idea where to go

[sweet tusk]

Hmmm... Well, what places could you go to? Have you thought about a place you'd be interested in visiting?

[simple sonnet]

Well I tried to go to the right to reach the wall or five pebbles or any of that
Didn’t really work
I’ll keep exploring today
It’s very dangerous everywhere

[sweet tusk]

The Hunter's path is one filled with danger.

But you'll get through, I'm sure.

[stable tangle]

Agreed

[left anvil]

think about a path or a purpose

then maybe you can figure it out

[simple sonnet]

I might go back to Farm Arrays

Idk

Maybe I could go subterranean - shoreline

Just try to beat the game

taking my time and exploring everything was what Monk was for

[stable tangle]

Good luck!

[simple sonnet]

is meeting Dot even required

[wet trout]

find out

[stable tangle]

Dot?

[simple sonnet]

Looks to the Moon person

okay time to play

[stable tangle]

Oh lol

Good luck!

[simple sonnet]

this feels so messed up

like 3 of the mosquito children went into the same shelter as me

...

I think you can see where this is going

my goal is to leave sky islands and try to get into subterranean

aaaand I died

ngl getting food isn't as bad as I thought it would be

tho places like Five Pebbles sounds like AGONY

I don't like that ceiling guy can get off the ceiling

it's so over

spawning in places other than outskirts is interesting

EXPLOSIVE SPEAR

VS

BIRD

[solemn canyon]

[simple sonnet]

are you kidding me

[solemn canyon]

bird #1 dead

[simple sonnet]

why's he shaped like that

[sweet tusk]

Bean shaped.

[simple sonnet]

is it just me or does around here look kinda

odd

[sweet tusk]

Shrug.

[simple sonnet]

THE CYCLES

ARE GOING DOWN

THEY'RE GOING DOWN

WHY

THEY'RE GOING DOWN???

IT'S AT 10 NOW

WTH

I ATE THE CENTIPEDE ALIVE
IT'S STILL MOVING

ngl blue feels kinda irrelevant

somehow

with my tiny

weak and pathetic body

I managed to push a deer over

why are you like this

the mosquitos spawn more in hunter I think

NOOO

the deer left me behind

[simple sonnet]

what happens when it hits 0
I'm scared

deer

please return

[sweet tusk]

I'm sure you'll figure it out when you get there.

[simple sonnet]

well yeah

Cycle 9

IT DOES GO DOWN

WHEN I SLEEP

NO

deer

please

I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME

NO

how do I get it to come back...

[wet trout]

does it have a beard

[simple sonnet]

I love dying instantly to a lizard

[sweet tusk]

Deer moment.

[wet trout]

wow old deer

[simple sonnet]

Now that you mention it...

[wet trout]

full of wisdom

[solemn canyon]

count your cycles...

[stable tangle]

??

[stable tangle]

Your cycles are numbered…

[coarse compass]

4

[simple sonnet]

there was a lizard on top of the pipe

[simple sonnet]

I'm so cooked

PLEASE

DEER

I

am

going to lose my mind

HATE

[sweet tusk]

The sweet sound of desperation, begging a deer to move its butt as time runs out.

A sound I've heard oh so many times.

[simple sonnet]

it's only this deer

[sweet tusk]

So many people hate deers.

[simple sonnet]

all the others have been nice

this one just sucks

IT'S GOING TO RAIN

BEFORE THE DEER ACTUALLY LETS ME GET ON

just kill me

[solemn canyon]

the deer looks down on you with pity as your end nears

[simple sonnet]

who will win explosive spear vs deer

the explosive spears kinda just

kill everything

[solemn canyon]

immovable rock vs unstoppable object

[sweet tusk]

Do you have an explosive spear at hand?

[simple sonnet]

Nope

I don't want the deer to die, I need it to get acr- ING PINK LIZARD GOD DA

[sweet tusk]

[stable tangle]

Lollll

[simple sonnet]

DEER

PLEASE

ISTG

[solemn canyon]

🦌❌

[simple sonnet]

HATE

[sweet tusk]

Oh, another deer, Maybe this one is nicer.

[simple sonnet]

I FINALLY GOT ON

I think it's gonna rain

so like

I'll just die Ig

aaand the deer took me off screen

it's trying to get me off

I think we're both dead now...

[coarse compass]

a tale as old as time

[simple sonnet]

I see why some people hate deer now

[real geyser]

yeah

[coarse compass]

yeah

[simple sonnet]

this never happened to me in monk or survivor

[real geyser]

they're either an amazing set piece or horrible jank

no in-between

[coarse compass]

i dont know how you dont

[real geyser]

they were kind to their Survivor

[coarse compass]

deer can be kind?

[real geyser]

yes

[coarse compass]

what is this sorcery

[simple sonnet]

if slugcats are cats but slugs

then

if you give a slugcat a shell

would they be

a snailcat?

[real geyser]

snailcat yes

[simple sonnet]

man I wanna know what's over there

the place only the deer can reach

THIS DEER

not all deer

just this deer

specifically

OH MY GOD

I GOT ON THE DEER

I GOT ON THE ING DEEERRRRR

[real geyser]

I will say

[simple sonnet]

nvm it was the wrong deer
I'll just die

[real geyser]

it might be possible to improve your strategy for riding deer

[simple sonnet]

I've realized

I should stay behind the deer

I GOT ONTO THE RIGHT DEER

LES GO

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

[real geyser]

they are complex creatures, like any other, and there may still be ways of manipulating them that you're not yet aware of

maybe

[simple sonnet]

ew.

ew.

ew

eeewwwwww

why do you exist

[real geyser]

cost of living is pretty low out there

[simple sonnet]

I wonder why the deer carry creatures

Thank you friend

okay I'm going to shelter

I need to like

be careful with sheltering

due to the ominous countdown

and like 3 different people telling me to count my days

now

can I go through subterranean

and get to shoreline

without sheltering once

[stable tangle]

Tbf Slugcats are either bears or rodents by design, Scug is just the fan name that the devs adopted

[stable tangle]

D'you have the Karma?

[simple sonnet]

dang it

NOOOO

this is so bad

[real geyser]

IIRC the earliest parts of the devlog refer to them as a bear

[simple sonnet]

okay there's food

AND A MASSIVE CENTIPEDE

[empty verge]

the fustration when this happens

[simple sonnet]

I'm gonna have to like

[real geyser]

a lot of things have changed since then, though

[simple sonnet]

waste cycles

Ig

[real geyser]

Food

[stable tangle]

Yeap, that's what I meant

[simple sonnet]

I'm only assuming something bad happens when I hit 0

[stable tangle]

It'll be fiiiiine

[real geyser]

Only one way to find out!

[simple sonnet]

I really doubt that

[stable tangle]

It can be fine, that better?

:)

[left anvil]

og name is bearcreature (in the files) but they are described as rodents, and their fan name which was adopted by devs is slugcats

literally speciesmaxxing

[stable tangle]

Yep!

[simple sonnet]

I really really doubt there is any chance of it being fine/okay

[real geyser]

IIRC the name "slugcat" comes from some youtube comment on one of the alpha builds or something

[simple sonnet]

slugcat lore

[real geyser]

which the devs later adopted

[simple sonnet]

bearcreatures

[real geyser]

so it's about as canon as Steve in Minecraft

I don't think the game actually called them that anywhere until Downpour released, though.

[stable tangle]

:Nod:

[real geyser]

(i.e. More Slugcats Expansion)

[simple sonnet]

downpourrruuhhhhh

Idk when to play that

I'll try to beat hunter

if I fail should I do downpour next

I was looking at the menu after I beat Monk

and

hold on

[stable tangle]

Whaddya mean, fail

[simple sonnet]

like

I was told not to commit to it

since it's very difficult

[stable tangle]

If you get too frustrated though, yeah, try other Scugs

[simple sonnet]

so if I struggle enough I may return later

[stable tangle]

It's possible to beat Hunter without other clears, obviously, but it'll be much easier after you get more experienced

[simple sonnet]

okay
I can deal with the centipedes
but the really really big one
is just

[real geyser]

I mean it seems like you're enjoying it so far

[simple sonnet]

awful

[simple sonnet]

I am

[left anvil]

i beat most dp campaigns and i saved hunter before saint

[simple sonnet]

Hunter can still eat popcorn

[left anvil]

and im really glad i did

[simple sonnet]

(no downpour spoilers, be careful)

[stable tangle]

Same, I beat Hunter before Saint; Haven't beaten Gourm but that's it

[left anvil]

lol not spoiling just saying

[simple sonnet]

I hate you and I hope you go extinct

[real geyser]

I beat Hunter after Saint

[stable tangle]

Fair lol

[stable tangle]

Don't you have two spears?

[left anvil]

wait ollie are u gonna do dp and watcher too?

id be interested to watch the thread if so

[simple sonnet]

I plan to
(not in this thread obviously)

[left anvil]

fuck yes dude

[real geyser]

[simple sonnet]

I might like
put a link to that thread when I make it

what should I call the downpour thread...

[left anvil]

HOWEVER id recommend doing it in order (dp before watcher) (and beat each dp campaign by order)

[real geyser]

well

order is enforced

[left anvil]

true but theres cheats

[simple sonnet]

no

[real geyser]

well yeah but y'know

[simple sonnet]

well I don't wanna cheat

[left anvil]

ok good

ur gonna love the dlcs i promise

[stable tangle]

Aw

[left anvil]

(and some of ur questions will likely be answered)

[simple sonnet]

okay I threw smoke bombs at it and it moved

[simple sonnet]

well that's good to know because I have a lot of questions

[simple sonnet]

I'd hope so
from the 0 seconds I've seen they seem cool

(all I know is the slugcats)

[left anvil]

and MOST of those WILL likely be answered

dont spoil urself pls its so worth it to go in blind trust me

[simple sonnet]

I limit myself to this thread

[real geyser]

[simple sonnet]

How many people know all the slugcats before going in

or like most\

[stable tangle]

A fair number of us didn't expect to ever play Rain World, so a fair number yeah

[simple sonnet]

I mean saint is literally in the discord pfp-

[simple sonnet]

I believe I've actually seen Pearl's design before getting the game
it was a while ago
and I didn't really care at the time
so I forgor

[real geyser]

I didn't know about the MSC slugcats going in

for one very simple reason

MSC wasn't out when I was going in

[simple sonnet]

Yeah that's what I was expecting you to say...

Wait when did this game come out

[stable tangle]

Fair lol

[simple sonnet]

pretty sure I was late by like 5 years

[real geyser]

uhhhh 2018 or something

no, 2017

Downpour was 2023

Watcher was March of last year

[simple sonnet]

I may be slightly late to this game

but that's okay

[simple sonnet]

wow that's a big gap
in time

[real geyser]

I think there were some legal issues that prevented them from updating the game for a while

[simple sonnet]

you know what I should've done

[sweet tusk]

I believe the general appearance of slugcats is not a spoiler, since they're in the promotional material for their respective DLCs.

However, the abilities and peculiarities of each one are spoiler territory.

[stable tangle]

Spearmaster is self-explanatory, they're a master of spears trust

Have 999 Throw Damage believe me

[simple sonnet]

Noo wayy

[sweet tusk]

Spearmaster is actually a master chef. No slugcat has tried good food until they have their pips replenished by Spearmaster's beef wellington.

[stable tangle]

Damn, you gotta stop with them spoilers /j

[simple sonnet]

that's like 3 spoilers now

first the backstab scene

then the juggling mechanic

and now THIS??

[stable tangle]

Overseer backstab?

Juggling???

[empty verge]

juggling?/

[sweet tusk]

Juggling?

[empty verge]

huh what???

[simple sonnet]

this was a joke made way earlier

like WAAAYY earlier

[sweet tusk]

Ah.

[simple sonnet]

^

[empty verge]

oh

what abt the back stab

[simple sonnet]

^

[stable tangle]

I love how literally everyone got so confused LMAO

[simple sonnet]

YEAH

[real geyser]

.

[simple sonnet]

[real geyser]

really sad you missed that part TBH

[empty verge]

lol

[stable tangle]

I thought it was a diff thing

:)

[real geyser]

🐌

[simple sonnet]

how'd I even miss it-

WAIT WHAT

WHAT

WHAT

WHAT

WHTTHYARHYWHASDHYWQDA

DO YOU

SE

SEE

[left anvil]

see what

[simple sonnet]

HUNTER ALREADY HAS A MARK???

[left anvil]

indeed

thought provoking

[simple sonnet]

how long was that there without me noticing...

[real geyser]

How have you not already noticed? Is it bugged or something

[simple sonnet]

I didn't notice until now

Maybe it was bugged?

Idk

[left anvil]

alot dont notice the small things in the game

[simple sonnet]

nooooo

I need to do another cycle

I will have 6 cycles to work with

[real geyser]

no I think there's a bug

testing it now

[simple sonnet]

I think I was just moving around too much

[real geyser]

the Mark isn't showing up at the start of the game

[simple sonnet]

Oh

okay

[real geyser]

yeah but you probably at least could've seen it while contemplating the intro cutscene

[simple sonnet]

true

[stable tangle]

H u h

[solemn canyon]

i did hunter after i did all of DP and Watcher

[solemn canyon]

apparently its not a bug: ||its apparently hidden for the first few cycles, slowly fading in the longer you go from what i heard||

[simple sonnet]

since hunter's faster, I wonder if the other slugcats will feel slow after this...

[simple sonnet]

I'm not gonna click on this one

[real geyser]

huh

weird

yeah I'm checking the code now, that's accurate

why would they do that

[stable tangle]

Nah

Hunter isn't that much faster to make other Scugs feel that much slower

Especially with certain movement techs :)

[simple sonnet]

okay that's good

[stable tangle]

We love pouncing

You should do it more :)

(I don't actually know if you pounce a lot but it'd be funny)

(frog scug)

[simple sonnet]

I don't do it too much

I mean I do it to get around but like

usually I just walk/jump

[stable tangle]

Fair lol

[simple sonnet]

Now

it is time

for

SUBTERRANEAN

if I already have the mark, I wonder if I could just

go to the depths now

[solemn canyon]

[simple sonnet]

ngl the music for entering subterranean this way goes hard

[sweet tusk]

Only one way to find out.

[simple sonnet]

Cycle 6

wh

so I wonder if this takes place before
after
at the same time??

oh for 's sake-

I CAN'T THROW THE SPEAR AT IT

[solemn canyon]

you gotta be ing kidding me

[simple sonnet]

using as a censor is really funny

...

what.

[real geyser]

[simple sonnet]

what do you even meaaannnn

[solemn canyon]

the superior

[simple sonnet]

so you CAN eat fruit

it just isn't very good

oh that scavenger is being eaten by evil grass

OH MY GOD

IT'S THE EVIL RED THING FROM THE ARENA MDOE

HELP

RED SPIDER.

How did they take the worst region in the game

and make it even worse

[solemn canyon]

🔴 🕷️

[simple sonnet]

wth

However

not even the scary hard mode enemies

can survive

BOMB SPEAR!!

[sweet tusk]

Have you been to Outskirts as Hunter yet?

[simple sonnet]

No?

I feel like this implies that they made Outskirts the worst place ever

[sweet tusk]

Well, there's a lot of areas to explore. You've only really been to Farm Arrays and Sky Islands.

[simple sonnet]

what

is

that

okay

that's the last straw

[young wind]

The world has many surprises to unveil

[simple sonnet]

I'm uninstalling the game

I quit

it's over

[young wind]

What'd you find??

[sweet tusk]

What did you do?

[simple sonnet]

. . .

[sweet tusk]

Oh.

That.

[stable tangle]

Ah

[stable tangle]

They're fiiiiine

[sweet tusk]

It's just a spicy noodle.

[simple sonnet]

that is

the worst thing

I have ever seen

[young wind]

Your new best friend

[simple sonnet]

in my entire life

[stable tangle]

They're fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

I like killing them

[simple sonnet]

THE MASSIVE CENTIPEDE

WAS BAD ENOUGH

RAIN WORLD

I DIDN'T NEED

WHATEVER THAT IS

[stable tangle]

Do as you have done before, give it a name!

[young wind]

Satan

[sweet tusk]

Mr. Snuggles.

[stable tangle]

There's other creatures more deserving of that title

https://tenor.com/view/bird-that-i-hate-bird-mario-gif-14971931919061508196

[simple sonnet]

"HARD MODE ENEMIES"

Cyan Lizard
Red Spider
Titan Centipede (ew please die never cook again)
BIRD WITH A GUN

[young wind]

[simple sonnet]

cyan

cyan lizard

oka6

[young wind]

You can make your own name still

[simple sonnet]

(Usually if I use an official/community-made name it's because I didn't already have a name for it when I saw that name)

[young wind]

Valid

[sweet tusk]

Titan centipede.

Valid name.

[stable tangle]

LMAO

True

Are there Titan-er Centipedes tho

:hmm:

[simple sonnet]

the massive centipedes were already like

gross and disgusting

but this

this is just

why

WHY GAME DEVS WHHHYYYYYY

[stable tangle]

Fight one

It'll be fiiiiiine

[simple sonnet]

it killed something off-screen

I'm going the opposite direction

Why.

[stable tangle]

Looks fun!

[simple sonnet]

in Survivor the game was indifferent to me

in Monk I had (kinda) learned the world's ways

in Hunter

Yeah no this game just hates me

[sweet tusk]

Welcome to Hunter's campaign.

[stable tangle]

Quite

[sweet tusk]

Having fun with the experience?

[simple sonnet]

debatable

[sweet tusk]

Look at it this way.

[simple sonnet]

ceiling guy got grabbed by a lizard

another lizard is dying to evil grass

[sweet tusk]

With all the experience you are getting from this campaign, Monk and Survivor will feel like child's play in comparison.

[simple sonnet]

Ig so

NOOO

I died

I was very close to my destination tho

[sweet tusk]

Give it a couple more tries. I'm sure you'll get to your objective soon enough.

[stable tangle]

https://tenor.com/view/omni-man-omni-man-are-you-sure-are-you-sure-invincible-gif-3935116808772397515

This is Rain World

Easier, maybe even easy... But not child's play

[sweet tusk]

Certainly more manageable.

[simple sonnet]

when I pause the game

it keeps playing the sound that was playing before I paused

so if I pause near a centipede

I have to listen to the

cktcktcktcktcktcktcktckt

for 10 years

and it's agony

oh I just died to fall damage

Wait there's no passages??

[young wind]

[simple sonnet]

I didn't even think about that

NO PASSAGES IS EVIL

[sweet tusk]

[simple sonnet]

and the shield flower doesn't exist

I don't think

red spiders

oh I got eaten

. . .

[solemn canyon]

whys it red

[simple sonnet]

I died too many times

I can't pass

[stable tangle]

Moment

[stable tangle]

Karma Gate

[simple sonnet]

I'm so cooked

I GOT SCAMMED

[stable tangle]

Uhhh

Is there a nearby wall

[simple sonnet]

no

[stable tangle]

It's reachable technically

checks guidelines

Guidelines say a-ok

Do you want to know how to reach it

[simple sonnet]

uhh

Ima say no

[stable tangle]

o7

[simple sonnet]

I ate a centipede anyway so we're good

[stable tangle]

Nice!

[sweet tusk]

Grow wings and fly.

Ez.

[stable tangle]

?ploo

:NekoSmug:

[empty verge]

(O), (I)

[simple sonnet]

it's actually over

why is it going dooowowwwnnn

[sweet tusk]

Perhaps one day, you will find out.

Or maybe in like, an hour or two, when it reaches 0.

[simple sonnet]

HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE

okay it's dead

[empty verge]

what is that

[real geyser]

[simple sonnet]

the horrors

[real geyser]

A spider

[simple sonnet]

THEY TOOK MY WORST ENEMY

AND MADE IT EVEN WORSE

[real geyser]

Welcome to the Hunter

[simple sonnet]

"the Hunter" is awful please let me out

calling it now

there's gonna be like

The Mass™ 3.0

that like

Idk

it's actually

the entirety of five pebbles

that whole region is replaced with the mass

to war

[stable tangle]

Do you have a bandolier of grenades

Wtf?

[simple sonnet]

firework plant

CENTIPEDES

I HATE THEM

Cycle 3 btw

WHY

WHY

WHY

WHY WERE THERE LIKE

4 GREEN SPIDERS

WHY

in like one spot

[empty verge]

where are you

[simple sonnet]

Subterranean

[empty verge]

again?

hows the expierence

[simple sonnet]

WTH IS THE SPIDER CANNIBALIZING THE OTHER ONE

I remember when ceiling guy was just ceiling guy and not

whatever that's supposed to be

I hate this place

ON ONE SIDE THERE'S EVIL RED CENTIPEDE

AND ON THE OTHER SIDE THERE'S EVIL RED SPIDER

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME

[violet depot]

Do you like that centipede?

[coarse compass]

at least you made it to subterranean

[simple sonnet]

No

scavenger merchant !!

(I don't have a pearl)

Wait can you just

kill the merchant

I just realized that

[solemn canyon]

who needs to pay for things when you are

[simple sonnet]

2 Cycles left...

[stable tangle]

Oh btw Felpers Ollie has a new list for Enemies

names

Titan Centipedes!

[simple sonnet]

oh yeah could this one get pinned
since it's so far away from the others

[simple sonnet]

I think this is a good name

I JUST JUMPED OVER A SPIDER

like I got on it

then jumped off

and continued

Alright time to

beat the game?

it can't be that easy, there's NO way.

I'm sure the ending is different

there's no way it gives you the mark this early

oh wow

I didn't even like

notice

I don't have the light that the mark usually gives you

[simple sonnet]

the reason it's a different message in the first place is because I ran out of space in the first one

[real geyser]

@ uhhhh @vestal crane pin request

[simple sonnet]

CEILING GUY

NOOO

[vestal crane]

oh

[simple sonnet]

ceiling guy almost got me

[vestal crane]

[simple sonnet]

Thank youu

what are they doing

this screenshot is horrible

but like

it's a weird white lizard

oh no it's a white lizard holding a spider

We are now in the Depths

no interaction with this symbol

my main worry

is the tall guys just pushing me away like normal

because that would be really lame

You

what

the

what

hu

whuh

wh

okay so I died

like

immediately

with survivor you get like 3 strikes

with Hunter they just kill you immediately

and very aggressively too

hm

if I already have the mark, how can I get to the abyss below

I think I'll try to meet up with Pearl next

[young wind]

What were you expecting

[simple sonnet]

I was expecting for it to be the same as if I didn't have the mark

at least SOMETHING was different

[real geyser]

I mean, it's good to test

[young wind]

True!

[simple sonnet]

so Ig I need to find Pearl, and hopefully he'll give me another mark?

one that is uh

less broken.

[real geyser]

I have checked the code further and this is apparently intended behaviour

there's a whole formula that determines when it shows up

And it was always like that, even back in the update that added the Hunter. So I'm hallucinating.

[simple sonnet]

Why do you do this to me

LIKE

FIVE DIFFERENT THINGS JUST CAME OUT OF THAT PIPE

so they like

stun you

then eat you

WHY

I mean it's effective

but like

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[real geyser]

Effective hunting strategy

[simple sonnet]

works against players with skill issues slugcats

when ceiling guy goes through a pipe

his dotsq

look the same

as like

a bat or smth

so I don't know it's something bad until he comes out

[real geyser]

At least you have the music cues to warn you! ... wait

[simple sonnet]

[stable tangle]

They do???

[simple sonnet]

they do

okay so

after I beat monk

I was looking around in the menu

and I saw

I've seen/heard this mentioned a few times

should I play this(not with hunter obviously)

[young wind]

It's what it says on the cover

It's a list of qol options and tweaks and assists that you can turn on and off to your contentment

[hardy fox]

its mandatory for more slugcats expansion anyway

[simple sonnet]

oh

[young wind]

Is it?

Wack

[hardy fox]

not for watcher thou but atp its irrelevant

[simple sonnet]

I'll just wait until I play the dlc then

[young wind]

You've done enough where I'd say it's safe to browse

[hardy fox]

remix is required for all the downpour mods afaik

[simple sonnet]

I like this art

[hardy fox]

so jolly expedition etc

[young wind]

It contains some modest spoilers for mechanics or critters

[young wind]

Hm looks moody in black and white, kinda cool

When you acquire it it'll be in colour

[simple sonnet]

I actually don't know what it looks like in colour

[young wind]

Regarding remix some features are incredibly valuable, but if you are feeling fine/competent playing onwards without needing any then that's fantastic

[real geyser]

I would recommend against it for now but it's not a super big deal at this point

[stable tangle]

You can disable all the QoL stuff anyway

[real geyser]

It's designed primarily for MSC.

[real geyser]

not all of it

unfortunately

[simple sonnet]

why does the game give it to me now then...

I might want to do that multiplayer one with some of you people at some point...

[young wind]

Because they do affect vanilla too

[stable tangle]

?

[stable tangle]

Jolly Coop is local or Steam Remote Play only

Steam Remote Play lags horribly over large distances like countries-distance

[simple sonnet]

oh nvm then

[stable tangle]

There's a diff mod called Rain Meadow that works fantastically

For multiplayer

[simple sonnet]

oooh

I haven't watched any gameplay of this game because obviously
so I'm curious to see what would happen
and you can see how bad I am in real time-

[hardy fox]

remix presets are kinda weird too

[stable tangle]

Everyone's bad at the start

[hardy fox]

like really not sure why clicking the “make the game basic and vanilla” does a “ok we’ll make it only a little basic and vanilla”

[stable tangle]

eyes my nearly 300 deaths as Surv

[real geyser]

for example the ||little diamond thingie at the top-right of the hibernation screen||

comes with Remix, can't be disabled

[stable tangle]

Ah

RIP

[real geyser]

IMHO a pretty lame UI element that doesn't need to be there

[young wind]

What's lame abt it??

[stable tangle]

It's useful for me, but I guess it might be immersion breaking

[young wind]

I would never || search for the tokens without it ||

[stable tangle]

^^^

[young wind]

|| the tokens are already a 4th wall break with no ingame relevance anyway ||

[real geyser]

It also changes the Hunter's description to mention that ||the cycles count down||, which is just horrible

[simple sonnet]

I stopped counting my deaths in games a long time ago...

the sea of spoilered text.

[stable tangle]

Ah

Ouch

[stable tangle]

Yeah don't check it xD

[simple sonnet]

wasn't planning on it

[stable tangle]

Doesn't the end-of-game score state it?

[simple sonnet]

there's a reason it's spoilered

[stable tangle]

That's where I see mine

[real geyser]

Yeah. Remix also adds that

again, with no config

[stable tangle]

Oh...

💀

[simple sonnet]

I didn't know there was a score

[stable tangle]

...

...

Mb

[simple sonnet]

Ah

[real geyser]

as I said, Remix feature

[simple sonnet]

Yeah

[real geyser]

The actual score doesn't matter at all, either. It's a very poor representation of how well you actually did

[simple sonnet]

what were the devs cooking with this

[real geyser]

also the Remix menu is horribly designed

some of the options' descriptions just. aren't accurate at all

[simple sonnet]

[real geyser]

Like "extra throwing trajectories". Sounds like a huge cheat, right? Nope. Lets you throw vertically in Five Pebbles and that's it.

[hardy fox]

hey up throws are cool…

[simple sonnet]

was Remix even made by the same people as the rest of the game...

[real geyser]

haha no

[stable tangle]

bruh

[simple sonnet]

and it's accessible from the MAIN MENU.

[real geyser]

it was designed by MSC devs and primarily intended for use of MSC

shhh

[stable tangle]

SORRY

[simple sonnet]

I think
you can turn it on like immediately after getting the game right

[real geyser]

yeah

it also has some accessibility features which are. not well designed IMHO

[simple sonnet]

oh MSC is made by different people?

[real geyser]

one that gives loading-screen tips (which is. not great for immersion, and the useful content of them is balanced out by them trying to teach you unnecessary obscure movement tech and forgetting a lot of the stuff players actually get stuck on in a first playthrough)

[real geyser]

yeah

it was actually a mod originally

[simple sonnet]

I read it
I didn't understand it
so I'm just going to pretend I didn't see anything
and maybe I'll forget about it by the time it's relevant

[simple sonnet]

Ohhh

[real geyser]

then the developers liked it enough to make it official

[simple sonnet]

what about watcher

[empty verge]

what happened

[real geyser]

(but it still feels like a mod)

[empty verge]

i was playing rain world for the past hour

[stable tangle]

Yeah, I actually thought movement tech was more important than it is... Only realised it isn't due to Glory who beat Saint without knowing a lot of it

[hardy fox]

nowadays i think 99% of people consider rain world to be archaic and bad and dated without remix

[real geyser]

Watcher is sorta half mod

The original developers hired modders to help them make it, and also used assets from some of the mods whose developers got hired.

[simple sonnet]

Remix and DLC origins
also I'm on Cycle 2 in Hunter
I went to the Depths

[simple sonnet]

Who is Glory?

[simple sonnet]

that's not good

[hardy fox]

i think the tutorial screens are always in order or something

itll go easy and eventually itll, idk

[simple sonnet]

Ugh
that means like
what if someone doesn't join this server
plays the game with it enabled

WHY

[real geyser]

And one that lets you pull spears out of walls after they get stuck, which is bad primarily because it's way more overpowered than it sounds on paper. Players end up just carrying a spear around at all times and using it as a climber's pick whenever anything remotely vertical happens.

[hardy fox]

the spear thing confuses me so much

i shouldnt be such a baby about it but like

WHY

is it considered a minor assist

[real geyser]

GunPowderGlory, another player here

[simple sonnet]

ohh

[sweet tusk]

Good luck down there.

[simple sonnet]

I already left because I died

[stable tangle]

GunPowderGlory

Someone else in the server- nvm

[stable tangle]

Me, and my friends...

But shrug it's not that bad

[stable tangle]

Iiiish? You can break out of that bad habit

I did

[real geyser]

I mean the Remix experience isn't that bad

just a bit suboptimal
