i should start with trying to hit them at least
#first playthrough and miscellaneous
manic siren
since it's not friendly by default, i think aggravating her that way won't backfire too much
this area has a lot of branches, so there should be more to it than just her
oh wait i might've actually found a loop
now i don't understand her purpose there
i thought she was guarding something otherwise unaccessible
welp
she's not the only specimen
the gremlin urge to throw a spear and run...
okay she seems intangible
i have explored everything accessible i think, didn't found any shelter
one lady is chilling in a circumventable room
and the other is blocking my path here
they seem absolutely invincible
and hostile
i'll try to run past this one and will fail and conclude that i should open new karma levels for this place
wait what
it didn't acknowledge me
and there is more of them
had a theory their hands might indicate something about their behaviour
okay they don't want to kill me
they throw me back
but what the hell does it depend on
there might be a slight connection to scavengers
their toll totems had pearls arranged similarly to how they're arranged on the ladies' hands
and scavengers use gestures to indicate toll collection or passing through
these ladies also gesture something constantly
the one before this ignores me, these ignore me until i end up between them
and then i get yeeted
jumping around, throwing spears doesn't aggravate them
it's location-based for sure
also they are absent on the map
not indicated as creatures
so if we think that i need a certain karma level to pass
then why does that first one not want to let me through if her room can be circumvented
manic siren
welp
and this one doesn't care at all
nothing adds up so far
they seem "alerted"
not hostile yet but ready to throw all 8 hands
and the circles inflate
what are y'all telling me with this otherworldly script i'm just a little slug 
i'm a little slug that wants forbidden knowledge that you're guarding
so i tried to retreat after alerting them
the right one followed me
and then they became hostile
????
this is really exciting
just keep your throwing damage non-lethal and i'll figure you out people
(rhetorical) what counts as a sign to stop being hostile towards me
me getting out of their range or them yeeting me
i'm gonna decipher their ai step by step
the fact that they have an alerted state preceding hostility means that the developers accounted for the player to move really slow
if its only purpose was to yeet everyone who trespasses, then they would switch to hostility immediately
they got so tired of me they asked the third one for help lol
so weird
the script has indic and thai vibes
but maybe not abugida because i don't see small differences between similar characters
constantly rearranged in 3 circles...
maybe it's not even a valid script as in a language
not a lot of characters
either just random or some cipher
moved a bit further to the left and they had enough of my shit
slammed me like 8-10 times against the ground
maybe their anger is stronger every time
needless to say, this area and these guardians are the most exciting thing i've met so far
and their design is just fabulous
until i have new ideas, i'm postponing this area
gotta find more octopi
and simply explore
jagged pawn
gotta find more octopi
good idea lad
manic siren
the script has indic and thai vibes
btw the statue's pose also has indic vibes
but i don't know much about different cultures, maybe it's not a rare thing
manic siren
badass music and badass moves in this area, only for this to turn out to be a loop
i think i found an actual bug
i exited the tunnel i'm next to into the room below at the same time as a golden lizard
and now i'm off the map
not dead, but nowhere
i don't understand grass at all...
i tried to long jump, i tried to hop past it
what the hell
somber fox
not dead, but nowhere
out of bounds are generally pretty generous, you can almost always shuffle back in
manic siren
out of bounds are generally pretty generous, you can almost always shuffle back ...
well i gave up and just exited :p
somber fox
well one time i did keep “falling”, kinda slowly, but that was a one-off
somber fox
well i gave up and just exited :p
but yea there’s a kinda emergency movement system for out of bounds slugcat
where you can go veeery slowly in any direction
somber fox
its hard to see just like that you kinda have to look at the map to notice it
manic siren
curious that i would never expect for such system to exist
because usually in games you're supposed to give up and reload everything :p
anyway
if i don't make it past that grass soon, i'll finally use a passage
somber fox
did you not already make it out of subterranean once already?
or are you stuck-stuck rn
manic siren
no, not stuck, just exploring loose ends
the road back seems very long
i was in another part of the subterranean before, to the right
i actually thought it was basically the whole subterranean
didn't notice you could go further to the left
though maybe it makes sense to just get to pipeyard again
but then there's this pipe section with blind lizards
we'll see
although yeah, there was another way in the pipeyard, lower
i forgot
i'll do that then, without the passage
right after i figure out why the grass is so op
...
the grass manages to be more mysterious than underground ladies
like, i have theories for the latter
but i have no understanding of the former
manic siren
i don't understand grass at all...
okay, this is not funny anymore :D can anyone give me a slight hint on how to go through patches of grass like that
or is it purely parkour thing and there's no secrets to it
somber fox
my tldr is just keep running as fast as you can and dont stop
and dont try to do anything like climb a pole above grass or anything, that never works
idk if doing jumps while youre running helps
but cant hurt
somber fox
whats the grass thats keeping you stuck?
i don’t remember subterranean grass thats particularly bad
manic siren
purple tips
somber fox
well no i mean thats all the worm grass
jagged pawn
i am cool
manic siren
ah
lol
uhh idk, mainly black and purple tip? like on that screenshot
bruh idk, this one near my shelter looks the same, but it's really weak
somber fox
i don't understand grass at all...
if this is the grass yea idk why thatd trap you sorry
manic siren
i constantly run through it
manic siren
if this is the grass ~~yea idk why thatd trap you sorry~~
hmmm
somber fox
you tried jumping over it i guess
somber fox
are you still starving
somber fox
even approach just a little and go back
nah you dont want to do that
somber fox
since the grass takes a second to wake up
and its at its weakest when it first wakes up and such afaik
somber fox
yeah but like i’m saying run at it when its sleeping and try to get past when its still waking up
i dont even know if thats how it works or not i’m kinda spitballing
somber fox
like if you linger too long and give it time to warm up, thats my only theory rn
manic siren
thanks, i'll try now!
yay it worked! thanks
and this turned out to be a loop :D
okay time to go to pipeyard
or not
okay i'm taking a passage for shoreline
vestal granite
Grass talk
manic siren
yep
vestal granite
Yeah you can pretty much run through it
It gets stronger the more tentacles it gets to attach
manic siren
me :3
vestal granite
Just gotta not give it that chance
manic siren
hope i'll remember to try and go through that path above
which is next to the gate between subterranean and farm arrays
also had problems with grass there
finally i know how this ui looks
had no idea it was a thing when i tried passage the first time
i've been ignoring this guy's guides since the beginning and it feels too natural to change now
except the hints that i do understand
like shelter, predator
don't remember anything else
i've seen this alien face in a very early lore drop, or whatever you call these moments that you see when you sleep sometimes
i need to lock in and try and do something to a leviathan
no idea how yet
oh i think i'm seeing little tadpoles in the water
cute
the adults are really not though
don't know about the bottomless pit but sometimes i regret there are no edge of the map indicators
this place in particular gave me ptsd because of how stressful it was the first time i got to shoreline
i was 100% sure it was the edge of the map to the right
if not for a frog right now, i would never check it
if this leads to an actual edge without any tunnels, it will be hilarious
though i never explored the bottom
need to do that somehow
somber fox
shoreline is a pretty annoying area as far as figuring out where rooms end and such yea
manic siren
i think there was one edge which was blocked by a tentacle
and i managed past the tentacle, thinking there should be a continuation in that direction
but no
or maybe i'm misremembering something
umm, great room?
don't tell me i need to dive
yep i do
some glowing things which look like something i won't mention
i'll call them tailed eggs
almost died retrieving it
somber fox
is that tunnel not dark?
manic siren
and it's really hard to fight my gluttony...
somber fox
i mean granted you can only be there for 3 seconds before you suffocate but still
manic siren
is that tunnel not dark?
not really?
i mean not to the shaded citadel extent
plus i'm somehow glowing in the dark areas when i'm underwater
weird
i need to deduct what could this mean
i never see anything special in the rooms it's pointing to
some rooms' design arises questions :D
"we don't have enough ladder budget"
"make a tunnel"
"and break the ladder in a few places"
somber fox
ok tbf that last one wasnt intentional
somber fox
actually i think i see the vision now you mention it
manic siren
so weird how the egg bubbles are the only things that do this half-dot thing
ANOTHER fake map edge
for god's sake
manic siren
yep
i actually imagined shoreline to be really sandy
but it's industrial age in this world
somber fox
i dont think it could be sandy, since its always raining
manic siren
guess at some point our sand will also be replaced with floating junk
manic siren
guess i don't know much about these things
manic siren
3 empty water-filled rooms in a row
this shoreline feels like open sea
FOUR
what if it's a meta joke and it continues indefinitely
just to mess with people
okay no
actually something interesting
looks to the moon
no way
what does looks even mean in this context
like a place to look at the moon?
this game makes a good job at making really hidden rabbit holes
the same situation as i had with subterranean
had no idea the region was that big
another safari piece
also a mystery
the shelter situation is kinda sad
i don't have a lot of time
okay i'll have to rely on rain for now
you're kidding me
it was really close
okay the road is not that difficult
just need at least a couple of spears
huh what, two shelters so close
i'm blind
i passed through this room and didn't notice the shelter
also there are a lot of fake spears in these tunnels
somber fox
what fake spears
manic siren
like these lines across the tunnels, part of the texture
hard to see if one of them might be a spear
somber fox
mmm
manic siren
and the bottom of the uhh
the kelp or something
also often look like spears
sea grass? not sure what's the name
there generally seems to be a severe lack of spears and a lot of places where spears are needed
or maybe just an unlucky cycle
somber fox
theres some foreground detailing that looks like spears yea
but its always at like a 45’ angle and such
well maybe its other angles too
nvm anyway
manic siren
well guess i don't have my spear eyes yet
somber fox
the true spear eyes is just mashing grab on auto
manic siren
also true :p
lotsa pearls and no place in the stomach for all of them
finally
um
hi?
somber fox
helo
mild marten
a thing
somber fox
monksilly emotes
mild marten
somber fox
i’m not rain worlding hard enough 
mild marten
what happened 
manic siren
gluttony happened
okay it looked so sad i'm actually gonna die and try to interact with it again
i'm actually rethinking my gaming morals
well this is creepy
the doll is saying something and i can't even understand if it's English
somber fox
uhhhh wha
manic siren
i don't have a good audio speech recognition with distorted voices
mild marten
probably a texture glitch 🥹
manic siren
yeah it only happened next to this doll
somber fox
wwell if its only during the pause its probably fine ig…
(i’m trying to think of what would be the thing causing the glitch)
manic siren
the moment is supposed to be legendary since someone pinned it, but i'm feeling kinda lost :D
manic siren
okay can you tell me if what it's saying is immediately understandable to English speakers
i just gotta make sure there's no language barrier
if it's not then okay
somber fox
it’s gibberish
manic siren
okay then
somber fox
or well its supposedly a language but youre a stupid cat thing so
manic siren
yeah fair :D
well my cat instincts can understand it's threatening me showing these images
hmmm
what are those really dangerous and untreatable proteins called
these white things look like them
prions
somber fox
dangerous untreatable proteins?
manic siren
or i'm confusing something
i mean proteins that can be the reason for hard to treat diseases
mb i'm talking gibberish
manic siren
well my cat instincts can understand it's threatening me showing these images
ahh it's the yellow guy showing these
got it
YES I'M GUILTY
I UNDERSTAND
manic siren
so you could do something else
bruh i could've tried to hibernate through other food sources
so many jellyfish around
somber fox
its fine either way
somber fox
but this is a kinda moment where you watch lets plays very intently to see whatll happen
manic siren
welp
i have no idea about the weight of what i just did but we'll find out :D
it's tough life, okay! i see food i eat it
not a lot of it around
somber fox
hungr
bright oak
YES I'M GUILTY
manic siren
i'm being judged by judges beyond my comprehension :D
somber fox
hmm i feel like i’m bad at this
manic siren
i did say earlier that this playthrough is gonna be bloodthirsty
somber fox
what was the context back then
somber fox
oh hey i was there too
manic siren
i'd say, there were signs
which even i forgot :p
well, i'm sorry, alien doll
life be like that
it seems like it turned into a caterpillar
or it's just a fetus pose
idk
huh
oops i freed some souls
i got a message from gourmand, they said my greed sickens them :D
AAAAAAAAA AAAAA AAAA
manic siren
wha whos gourmand?
just a joke
manic siren
nah i mean i suppose gourmand is supposed to be really gluttonous in this game
and that what i did to the doll was so awful even he was shocked
somber fox
what makes you think gourmand wont go “mmmm hamburger” 
when in the doll room
manic siren
mb he will
tho it would make sense for him to eat the doll
(idk how blasphemous that sounded right now)
slanted spears, right? :D
(it's a spear)
another soul museum
well i'm just wrecking havoc all around then
kill the doll, eat the prions, free the souls, piss off the eyes
ANARCHY
somber fox
uhhhh fuck— no wait, i mean, YES all according to plan???? 
somber fox
i’m not too worked up over it
i’m kinda annoyed i’m kinda maybe saying too much actually
manic siren
it's fine, there's gotta be a good reason for that then :D
mb i'll judge myself even harder in the future
somber fox
just keep a theorising eye open
manic siren
i do admit its sounds were incredibly sad
somber fox
i dont like it when people go “well that just happened” and then instantly stop thinking about stuff in rw
i mean feel free to do that too ig
manic siren
i know what you're saying, i felt that too
i just don't feel like i have enough data for a good analysis yet
but it's being stored
so far the yellow eye's actions and the doll it has been leading a random lost slugcat to are the only things close to a story and actions based not on instincts but something else, a purpose
seems like it has been the main objective of the eye, and that picture of the alien (clad in an orange hoodie for some reason) might be interpreted as the alien explaining the task to the eye
or the slugcat
but the eye seems more sapient than a slugcat
it led me to the doll, something was supposed to happen but didn't
and i think i won't see the eye anymore
cause i betrayed it
that's the most i can deduce for now
i definitely gained something by eating the prions directly connected to keeping the doll alive
wonder what will happen next, if it will
the doll and the eye clearly wanted something from a slugcat which is apparently not part of the usual ecosystem because i'm the only specimen around
they needed a specimen of my species for some reason
the shelters automatically work and protect me during hibernation, maybe because of the doll, maybe it's connected to the automated systems somehow
it wanted me alive
at the same time, i can't be sure lizard's nests don't look exactly the same as my shelters
by releasing the souls, i might've freed something into the world i shouldn't have
but at the same time, they looked like limbless slugcats
almost like usual slugs
the doll and the eye might've been storing them for something, maybe research
and they needed me for something
knowing the other part of the story where i don't kill it would definitely help :p but alas, not now
manic siren
yeah i'm expecting apocalypse :D
manic siren
are you going to go explore again?
my intention was to explore every corner of the map given there are no other clear objectives
now there are two places where i apparently need high karma levels, and in order to get them, i need to search for octopi, and in order for that, i still need to explore every corner of the map
so yeah
the pearls
i still have no idea what to do with them
oh wait
i didn't notice these
this one is definitely not a slug
don't think i've seen a similar creature before
but it's really familiar for some reason
mmm
I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE
these sneaky ceiling tunnels, i swear
though
nah i can't get there
somber fox
rip
manic siren
hmm
maybe i haven't discovered something that gives more opportunities to get to places like these
that platform to the right seems kiinda traversable? but there's no room above so uhh
somber fox
just keep climbing there's a room up there i swear
manic siren
technically i could climb to a height which would allow me to land on that platform
but it would be deadly 100%
somber fox
that probably doesnt work but i wanna see it maybe its funny
manic siren
i need a phd in physics to calculate that jump :D
5 pearls, rain and i'll starve
the martyr is a crazy passage
wonder how many times you need to starve for that
okay so these respawned
i'm confused
ohh
not sure if that's new or it's another soul orb
yeah it is, just different background gradient makes it look different
those do look like slugs of different sizes and shapes
my species is definitely important somehow
um, hello?
that's really high
huh, a soundtrack started
with a voice
or i'm crazy
somber fox
the music does that sometimes
manic siren
okay, there's a lot to think about
i think i'll go to the shaded citadel tomorrow
so far only further exploration makes sense
i haven't noticed any changes in the world yet
after the doll betrayal
a thing i've noticed long ago but never mentioned is that some structures in the background resemble animals
lizards in the outskirts, vultures/leviathans in the shoreline
but hard to conclude something out of it
manic siren
YES I'M GUILTY
btw the antennas don't really look biological
which means they might actually be antennas
used for something
manic siren
actually
this doll and slugcats look quite alike
except for tail
maybe i'm a devolved version of what this thing was before
maybe it kept itself alive and became partially mechanical
it devolved and became a machine, i devolved and just became an animal
maybe my ancestors were actually sapient
i don't know if this is the right thinking, but i'll expand the theory
if it's true, then the doll is stuck in this place
unable to move anywhere
but able to manipulate certain technology
like the eyes
it watched the Machine (this is what i'll call the entire map of the game)
and when it noticed me, its relative, it wanted to meet me
maybe the souls are preserved essences of other members of this species
one thing i don't really understand is where the hell did i come from
i'm not part of the ecosystem here, so I'm from outside
where there were trees
this "evolution theory" would explain why i'm so smart
able to wield spears and figure out stuff
and also to precisely remember the map
maybe this is why the automated systems of the Machine like shelters and gates recognize me and react accordingly to my actions
not sure what karma is though
some inexplicable essence i'm able to accumulate and which is detectable by gates
maybe it's an indicator of my capability to survive
which allows to incur my high intelligence
nobody is intelligent as i am, so the gates only open for me
the underground gravity benders are not supposed to let me in if i'm not smart/worthy enough
deaths are supposedly canon
and they do happen
i don't have an explanation for them
the origin of the fauna and flora is a mystery
some things are partially mechanical
some kind of biomechanical evolution
vultures' masks are a weird concept
where tf did they get them
they're not part of their bodies
also until this day i was sure you couldn't swear on this server
it's sometimes hard to understand how it works in English
anyway, the canon for this playthrough is that the doll overestimated my sapience
and i turned out to be a wild animal
which will ruin everything
vestal granite
also until this day i was sure you couldn't swear on this server
It depends 
Some swear words are fine but not intense ones
Like slurs
There are children using the server after all
As well as it being an inclusive and all-respecting space
manic siren
wonder what blue eyes' function is
if we assume they were supposed to do the same as the yellow eye, observe my progression and help me, then i haven't seen them doing it much
not a single hint
the yellow guy wasn't always with me, so if they had problems with time management, other eyes could replace him when he wasn't present
so they definitely perform other functions
there are at least two of them so far
their little tendrils/horns also looked bigger than the yellow one's
if they have some intended meaning, then they're either used for hologram projection, or to perceive something
but at the same time, the eye itself could be used for both of these tasks
vestal granite
manic siren
the eyes' corporeality is questionable though, they look like holograms themselves
but always positioned on the walls
or in the walls
this is the second blacklist timeout i got
okay gotta stop talking :p
i have at least two theories what triggered it
but uhh idk
manic siren
it's not that
i could dm you to show it if you want
gotta be some random combination
which i'm not seeing
nevermind, back to the eyes
if they're holograms and attached to the walls, maybe there are very quick mobile projectors in the walls
or just projectors positioned in different places of the map
manic siren
it's not that
huh maybe it's because i use the discord bold text feature
and the asterisks in combination with another letters might've formed something
manic siren
well this is kinda insane
and no shelter nearby to experiment safely
this is so weird
the place where i am in is actually not connected to the left part
okay this region is ridiculous in this room transition aspect
guess i'll have to remember what is passable and what is not
these things now appears everywhere
and i have no idea if freeing them does something
this is a weird room
I CAN RIDE FROGS???
i thought they were supposed to do the opposite! making swimming annoying
this changes everything
there is A LOT of souls around
all are tadpole-like, slug-like things
i free every one of them, no idea what's happening
maybe they're my guide now, and if i follow the direction they're heading, i'll find something
i'm back at citadel, finally
time to explore that spider hell
oh no it's that long bridge again
i don't remember the nearest shelter
i'm a god in these shaded areas now
but if that thing claims the title, i'll let em take it
jagged pawn
but if that thing claims the title, i'll let em take it
just lob a spear at it, pretty much kills it instantly
manic siren
bunnylamps can sleep peacefully
no need for them now
i killed a spider but it didn't count
am i crasy or do spiders fear my light
there is nobody to curse the Adam i became after feasting on the forbidden prions
jagged pawn
am i crasy or do spiders fear my light
you are not crazy
manic siren
okay it seems blind lizards need 3 hits to die
but they became half-dead after 2 hits
maybe it's just 2 hits and i should've waited for its agony to end
now i just see those souls roaming around me sometimes
manic siren
jagged pawn
shi there are souls in survivour
manic siren
a whole hive!
a new shelter very close to the previous one
i'm ready to witness something unholy in the depths
or maybe just a gate
also good
this area is really not dangerous
but there's so many shelters
jagged pawn
this area is really not dangerous
||it is dangerous, you just havent seen the dangers yet||
jagged pawn
oh shi you found memory crypts
manic siren
and the screen is flicking regularly
with green
at least there are a lot of places to hide from these birds
they sound so completely mechanical i'm not even sure you can damage them, i haven't tried yet
jagged pawn
they sound so completely mechanical i'm not even sure you can damage them, i hav...
you should try it
manic siren
this one has these decorative things on its neck and i think it's beak seems thinner and sharper
but not sure
whoever built these memory crypts surely hates remembering things
protected by these terminators
jagged pawn
memory crypts❌ ram storage✅
manic siren
bruh why is this path so long
no branches
just deathly atmosphere
and CLANK CLANK
they're blocking my path with this endless commotion
and the rain is nigh
jagged pawn
they're blocking my path with this endless commotion
blu
jagged pawn
use BLU
manic siren
oh shit i reached it
no shelter visible, the rain is coming soon
weird that i didn't see any branches in the memory lane
gotta check again later
wdym the leg
whose leg
the exterior, huh
the cyan flashes on the screen are ominous
jagged pawn
**whose leg**
a leg of a teensy guy in a giant house
manic siren
i'll score a lot of dumb fall deaths here...
i thought this would be an uninhabited area :(
ambushed and teamworked by a white lizard and a pole plant
jagged pawn
ambushed and teamworked by a white lizard and a pole plant
the ambush squad
manic siren
at least i like that this is so far a linear path with no branches
no feeling of getting lost
just purpose
somber fox
i wanna pop in and say this is interesting but i’m currently busy oversleeping and not being conscious rn
manic siren
hope you'll feel better soon!
light sabers
i solved this game
this is a spinoff to star wars
somber fox
welp back to mimimimimimmi
manic siren
uhh wiggly light sabers
not cute
...and sticky
i can't throw it
well i found out how to get to that tunnel above the doll box
not sure about the exact mechanics of these things yet
but gotta learn
manic siren
THINGY
can you be more intuitive
i'm freaking out
i have no idea how did i get here
but i need to tarzan this to the left smh
okay so it's jump button mid-jump
i didn't expect new keybind mechanics outside of what i already know
i'm gonna call this thing a pocket tongue (PT)
the question is
how much momentum can you build by swinging back and forth on a PT given there is enough space around
if it's endless, then i think i might understand how to get to that tunnel in "looks to the moon"
but there should be some cap, like on 180 degrees at least
or there is just no acceleration if you're doing a circle
idk how do you call this thing people do on a swing
it's called "doing a sun" where i'm from
jagged pawn
it's called "doing a sun" where i'm from
its called that in my country too:D
manic siren
i just noticed this server has #movement channel :D
i didn't look in it, but i think i understand what it's for
guess y'all didn't joke about that google doc
also a couple hours ago i jumped onto a blocked pipe (which mobs can use but i can't) from a high place
and bounced off quite high
vestal granite
wdym the leg
Did you get claimed by the deathpit?
manic siren
parkour-wise or generally
vestal granite
Pretty much every first time player can expect a death there
manic siren
hmm
vestal granite
It claims many a victim... the server keeps a counter of leg pit victims as a joke
manic siren
It claims many a victim... the server keeps a counter of leg pit victims as a jo...
gosh
welp
gotta lock in
gotta break a leg to break the leg
vestal granite
manic siren
the region's names are getting unhinged btw
"looks to the moon", "the leg"
that hot underground area didn't have a name at all
i have no idea whether "looks to the moon" is intentionally confusing or my english is just bad
this perpetual secondguessing when interacting with a different language :D
manic siren
once i think
btw about that fall death
i enabled that "more obvious bottomless pit" thing
vestal granite
It's confusing in english too, but it has a reason 
manic siren
and i thought it would mean a very thick and noticeable black gradient
but it's just flickering now
which is actually harder to notice in shaded citadel and adjacent regions i've visited now
so yeah
learned it :p
manic siren
It's confusing in english too, but it has a reason <:hunterglee:1228491100986150...
okay then
vestal granite
Yeah l think it makes it flicker/pulse so it catches your eye
manic siren
we'll þink
vestal granite
I don't use it, cuz l know the map fine by now
vestal granite
What's your main language?
manic siren

Nice; mine's spanish
manic siren
the leg is part of exterior
if my theory about the "Machine" is right, then what the hell is exterior and why it has a leg
maybe the Machine is a flamingo
vestal granite
manic siren
best theory
vestal granite
Where there's a leg, there's a something attached to it
manic siren
my first thought is the rest of the map, since it seems like one big mechanism
but maybe i'll meet the rest of the flamingo later
technically the exterior might mean a way for me to escape and try to find my family
plus in the beginning i fell from somewhere
so i'm beneath something
but i didn't really expect this game to have any location-based "ending" so not sure
also the leg might mean not like a biological leg
maybe it's also a term for a part of something mechanical
i'm not savvy in engineering
knowing this game's sudden and unusual concepts and designs, the leg is most likely an appendage of a sentient arm composed of vultures' masks
and it uses its leg for eating instead of locomotion
you just gotta be really random to predict this game
also
why are the citadel, memory crypts and the leg so dark
like, if there is a sun in this world
then the darkness here should have a reason
maybe it's all located inside a bigger structure
with no open air
maybe there is no open air anywhere in this game
maybe the sun is artificial
maybe everything is just fogged or smoked here
but even chimney canopy and industrial complex weren't that dark and foggy
manic siren
bruh it's so cold here i can hear ice layer cracking when i close my window
also i just realized that i got to subterranean from sky islands somehow
the connections between regions can be quite random and change altitudes dramatically
i wonder if someone ever tried to draw their interpretation of how a 3D map of the game would look like based on layer positions and background terrain
you could also make a 3D model of that via programs
also you could try and make an antfarm-like recreation of the game's map irl
using glass panes or smt
idk just silly thoughts

There's a project to build the entire rainworld map in minecraft
It's had good progress
manic siren
3d or 2d?? or it might be a spoiler
vestal granite
In 3d
manic siren
There's a project to build the entire rainworld map in minecraft
give a human minecraft and they'll try to build literally anything there
from Earth to other games' maps
anyway
resuming my PT training
yay!
no rain time but i'm progressing anyway
okay i think the whole leg is gonna be hellish like that
forced pocket tongue training
the leg doesn't like the rain
prolly the only working electronic machine around
interesting
i don't even see rain
only green flickering
i think i understand pts now
not very difficult controls
but it'll take time getting used to them
wonder if speedrunners really hate or really love these things
depends on how predictable they are
white lizards will die
there's no other way
okay so the tongue has autoaim to the nearest ceiling
that's good
welp it wasn't that hard yet
the white lizard is hanging out right next to the shelter though
it almost got me
and we almost recreated the golden lizard incident
hi 
some kind of brittlestar thing
manic siren
common problem
we aren't the peak of our evolution until we learn to hibernate for years
ahh it ate me :(
no one is friendly anymore here
basically mobile tentacle alternative
phew escaped it
hope it can't go through tunnels
i'll call it ophiura even though that's not what brittlestars are apparently called in english
well it's not a real brittlestar anyway
oh no there's another one
a dilemma
i might need this thing later, or i might not
MERCY
bruh it's stuck on the tongue thing
how do you like it now eh
manic siren
a dilemma
even with the black gradient in the bottom, this room really looked like it had to have a continuation there
so i ignored it automatically
seems like these things are very sound-perceptive
hah!
on a short cycle too
it was... quick
okay, what's next
The Foot or The Abs
i always wonder what these random tunnels are for
i've never seen a predator spawn in a gate room
hm
the precipice
cycle 196
well that's... really efficient architecture
somber fox
i always wonder what these random tunnels are for
yknow that specific tunnel used to be enterable, presumably accidentally
you’d travel somewhere and then u-turn once the game realised it didn’t go anywhere
manic siren
stanley parable vibes :D
somber fox
otherwise a lot of these are just for aesthetic
manic siren
"ok he went into that tunnel let's see.. oh wait there's nothing here, go back"
somber fox
yknow imply that the place is much bigger than you can explore
manic siren
hm
somber fox
or maybe theyre broken
manic siren
btw the precipice didn't count for Wanderer it seems
the leg apparently did
wait i've seen screens like this before
maybe it's part of sky islands
somber fox
sip sip sip huh wheres the drinking emoji
manic siren
somber fox
oh there we go
manic siren
i'm not sure who you are man but i spotted you
manic siren
some kind of reversed antlion
manic siren
its just a normal ceiling
riiiight
somber fox
and a completely normal perfectly safe hallway
manic siren
:)
that was
really unexpected
this guy is what would happen if you gave a frog 150 iq and then made it a lizard
that's a respectable spear dump
okay everyone is unhinged here
the antlion lunged at me and we both fell to our death
you needed to be really slow with ophiuras, you need to be really fast here
immaculate spear dodge from the antlion
wow
and it burrowed again above another spear
wonder if it chooses the locations above valuable objects
um what
i literally don't see where i'm supposed to go
huh
somber fox
this is a strange area isnt it
manic siren
well it is called "precipice"
maybe it's supposed to be like that
gotta look closer though
this dude is so scary
the antlion defeated the lizard????
it was after my death, but it dragged it into its nest
huh, i expected the vice versa
somber fox
cant believe the precipice population got decimated by 50%
could it ever recover after such a catastrophe
manic siren
actually yeah, who were they hunting anyway
i see that a pocket tongue could help me here
probably
i still don't know if the momentum can be that big
i made the antlion jump into the abyss and got to shelter
it'll be a good area to test if the predators die for good or not
and i got chieftain progress somehow
lizard, now it's your turn
it's interesting that i don't see the lizard sometimes
it leaves somewhere
where
somber fox
there might be a surprisingly boring answer
manic siren
nest then or smt
or something inaccessible
but there's gotta be something to this area anyway
i'll kill the lizard and go back
i think i killed it
but there is not enough food anymore and i have to go back
the precipice is empty now
idk if they respawn
it makes sense why you just need karma 1 to leave
this would be a sick dragon slayer dot
if i didn't have it already
well, back to the creepy tactile thingys
a lot of green fireflies today for some reason
very creepy music and underhang
at first though this would be a left precipice
that would be hilarious and annoying
what are the orange dudes doing here
it's so high
the ophiuras are really annoying predators
not having a nest
just immediate yum yum
this a very evil tunnel exit
huh, i'm seeing a wall-jump shortcut
comfy, but nah
WHAT SPAWN CAMPING IS THIS
so they can go into the tunnels
and if they're on the other side of a tunnel, you're dead 100%
oof thunder
which is probably not thunder
but something big and metallic slamming
i wonder if these tentacled things can actually levitate or they're constantly supported by tentacles
bruh
it was a very good attempt
interestingly how despite the nature of the area i don't really worry about falling much
this is the thought i had 15 seconds before falling
this is gonna take some time
unlike most of the other regions, the exterior and the memory crypts which preceded it seem very linear so far
wonder what it could mean
if they are linear and i'm not missing all the branches
manic siren
WHAT SPAWN CAMPING IS THIS
oh wait, there's literally a branch here
and a lot of branches at the place where i died
i'm an idiot :p
it's always so mysterious every time you two start to type something but don't send it
vestal granite
wonder if speedrunners really hate or really love these things
Speedruns don't take this region generally
manic siren
so much filtering going on probably :p
somber fox
id consider it somewhat unfortunate corner cutting
the any% is really uninteresting looking
manic siren
well yeah i forgot what speedruns often look like :p
vestal granite
It's uninteresting but mindblowing in efficiency
manic siren
abuse everything to teleport right at the end
vestal granite
When you beat survivor we'll tell you the world record
somber fox
are there rain world speedrunners on twitch and such
vestal granite
somber fox
or youtube idk
vestal granite
are there rain world speedrunners on twitch and such
Shrub, axo
Yeah on youtube too
manic siren
When you beat survivor we'll tell you the world record
either like 5 seconds or 4 hours
no in-between
vestal granite
manic siren
wonder if the precipice get precipitations or it's also green electrocuting during rain
my theory is that it's not raining here because it can damage the electronics
and instead there is a different system
but i have no data for that
somber fox
am i glad i can do a “oh no, photosensitivity warning? well anyway pretty colors yaaaaaaaaay”
manic siren
it seems like self-sustaining ecosystem is not a consistent concept across different areas in this game
like the precipice has two predators and no prey
the underhang also has just lizards (which so far has been purely carnivorous) and tentacled horrors
which dominate the lizards with no problem
everyone is sustained or self-sustained
but idk how
maybe the water can create new creatures somehow
life purely out of chemicals which the fluid (maybe it's not water at all) consists of
manic siren
but on the other hand, there is no rain in the exterior
only electricity
my brain's braining but idk what is the direction of braining
it's crawling somewhere
also maybe the rain is not rain
it doesn't really seem possible for the rain alone to flood everything
the water from below is coming from somewhere, but i don't think it's the rain
and the rain might consist of... something
which hurts really bad if it hits you
mb radiation or stuff like that, since it doesn't leave puddles like a fluid would
or piles of objects
raindiation
the flooding water should be stored somewhere when it's not "raining"
or even if it is caused by rain, the water should be stored somewhere
there is a hot area which doesn't get rain
somber fox
well there is a drainage system
manic siren
i mean the volumes enough to flood everything everywhere
somber fox
… very efficient drainage system?
thick yacht
Maybe it will be more clear in the future
manic siren
yeah i know
just theorizing now
the hot underground area is either efficiently sealed off the flood
or it's located somewhere where the flood can't reach it anyway
it would be weird to let the water evaporate for no reason when it reaches this area
plus the tunnels do a good job at sealing the flood inside enclosed areas
somber fox
hows the underhanging going btb
manic siren
i'm having a little headache so i'm taking a break to eat
which was supposed to begin almost an hour ago but i got lost in these thoughts :D
manic siren
hows the underhanging going btb
what does btb mean?
somber fox
i just like the way it looks more
somber fox
i'm having a little headache so i'm taking a break to eat
cant believe the very bright flashing lights would do this smh…
