I just got back from a 13 hour shift laying gas main and this is the greatest delight I’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving, I’m giggling like a little school girl
seeing this man barely scrape by, begging for one triangle and then finding it, only to check and see that the video is only half over is one of the viewing experiences of all time
41:40 That talk about teachers hits hard. When I was a kid, my whole class was filled with dummies who would drive all my teachers mad, especially my english teacher. One time, at the end of an english class, I wanted to ask her a question, and she just went "Supaserrin, the class is over, I can't answer you now". She apologized to me the next day, but man, imagine being THAT burned out.
I cannot imagine how stressful this would have been to watch live. I keep thinking "he's insane" when he's going for these greed strats, only to reassure myself with the remaining time in the video.
i'm guilty of psycho mining at times, i legit forget where I came from cause the enemy wave makes my brain spasm & panic and i'm like screw it lets mine here now 😆
The unholy gadget trinity of synergy: portal for probe refreshes, repellant for longer waves for portal to send back more resources, probe to find the motherlodes to send back with the teleporter. Pure perfection.
It didn't have a bit of non-psycho mining though, his new strategy of going up/down is better than mining randomly, but then he randomly decides to go somewhere else.
Loving all of the clinically insane twitch viewers telling him to stop the run and then seeing there’s still an hour and a half in the video left to go
poor "I am gonna sleep to it" guy, every spare second NL had on attack was just repeated slapping of the ground with the boucy electro blade. I am wide awake and still got shook.
How many times did we see this man spend triangles for multiplier and we went "NOOOOO" well who's laughing now. All of us and him I'd wager. What a damn run
Some math here involved. Every 2 triangles spent give him 1 point per wave. Meanwhile, every 2 triangles not spent give him health to survive one more wave for +100 points.
Have you ever noticed how you feel a lot more at ease when you're the one driving? You know, when you're in control? It's like even when all the passengers in the car are screaming you're the only one going "Ah yes, we're gonna be going straight down onto the rocks here. Ah, boy, I really screwed the pooch on this one."
I'm glad that I can never catch a stream because I would surely make a comment trying to help and this man who I've watched for a decade would tear me down and break my fragile self esteem, ruining my perception of one of my internet heroes.
On October 12th, in the year of our Lord 2022, a generous Egg bequeathed unto us a horde of Pog, so that we would find nourishment through the harsh winter months. All praise to our Egg. HUZZAH!
they might also say that mining vertically is the same as mining horizontally, but mining horizontally every 5~ blocks anyway means you're not really mining vertically, you're just doing both for no reason
The question at 20:56 is a really interesting one. IMO it depends what type of teleportation it is, wormholes are fine but the Willy Wonka esc teleportation where you're atomized then perfectly reconstructed somewhere else is a big no no for me.
I've seen some comics presenting "public" teleportation as remotely making an exact body clone of yourself on you destination and then ctrl+X paste your brain data to the clone before desintegrating the first body
@@Lucas-dw4jn It's so fucking scary. You have no idea, if that teleportation would kill you, because the teleported "you" would feel like it worked perfectly fine. I'm going to puke.
This might seem like the ultimate psycho mining strategy, but since the gadgets and the iron are always in at least a 2x2 block, you can actually mine every 3 levels instead of every 2. You cut down the amount of mining per area by 50% and you only miss out on ⅓ of the water and cobalt, while getting 150% oc your usual amount of iron
NL reminded me of my favorite scene from the hit summer blockbuster Morbius when the titular character, Morbius, drank a large McDonald's Sprite. (Happy to see the legendary 3 hour run posted)
All the Lift needs is to pick up the first thing they run into instead of going through a whole cycle so you can go all the way to derock and work your way up. That way you can pull things up to shorten how much time it takes for them to bring stuff up
Rebuttal to vertical mining: Mining vertically means you can't drag resources to the centre. It also means having to catch and resources that fall when you're mining upwards. Plus just a bunch of waste mining creating frequent loops instead of long trenches.
9:20 , Rock substrate specifically negates your argument that horizontal distance is equivalent to vertical, and the fact that the rocks are a grid means that distance is more aptly measured using taxicab measurement which also negates your argument about orientation independence.
"I went to eat and you're still playing this run?" "Can I tell you how good that feels after years of 'I went to the bathroom, did he die?" As a longtime NL fan, I'm proud of him.
NL, this isn't a bit, I put on your vid in a moment of desperation and rage after a hellish bout with tinnitus lasting longer than normal. Your voice immediately made it go away. Thank you.
"Would you use teleportation if it was real?" Normal person: I'd do it if it was safe. NL: Well here's the thing... It's like, if there was a risk to it then I don't really want to do it. But if there was no risk to it, why wouldn't I do it? Which kind of negates the spirit of the question to begin with. So I apologise to you, I don't think I can give you an answer that satisfies the conditions of the question. TRIANGLES that's very nice.
Getting the score is impressive, but what is even more impressive is how far he pushed his personal best. If it were me, I might have ended the run at 600 , or at 1000, or at 2000 or any point where it was even slightly risky. Bank that, improve the PB and try again in a new run. But he believed and he had the bravery to push it to the limit. I respect that.
my personal favorite is maximum map size, long time between waves modifier. Really get to juice all the serotonin out of the mines without being quickly overwhelmed like prestige mode
From of viewer experience, to feel like the end is almost certainly near, only to check and see that the video is only half over. Greatest experience there is lol.
NL, I was not convinced from the early plays that this game had enough depth to buy, but seeing this madness with prestige and pushing your luck has convinced me it's definitely got the sauce for huge replayability. Legendary run here!
Love that he stuck to his word and dropped the run in full. Now that I’m the #2 NA + EU Dome Keeper player, how do I lobby to trade my position for temp VIP status?
Seeing this pop up in my feed with this title gave me the same feeling you get when you hear those PLINPLINPLINPLINGs form the probe. This is the Motherload.
Theoretically the lift could be better than the teleporter by not consuming a gadget slot and instead using the center of the base, freeing space for both the condenser and converter. And it would provide better access to the resource tree, since you would have to go up before each wave. But the versatility of teleporter would still be very hard to beat.
Some thoughts. The reflector upgrade is undervalued (at 8 iron I was begging you to take it). Almost all damage taken is in the form of projectiles... so concentrating on blocking projectiles is more important. The tree. If you can plant it on a triangle/cobalt deposit... isn't that one cobalt every turn, eventually? That could keep you running forever. BTW, put it on three iron and get three iron per turn (I think). Wither is a great ability too (especially with overcharge and condenser). To the point that you fire it, block projectiles, and wait for most enemies to die. You chose debilitate, which seems just about as effective (but your focus shifts more to dealing blade damage). 1:51:55 legendary wave 2:10:00 I really felt the vastness of the map here. Something you sort of have to watch the whole thing to get. There is no minimap; you just get lost. No clue how you score 1 mil +. Even with Korean RTS reflexes, the slavish asceticism of a monk sending resources back, and endless cobalt due to tree... must be something broken.
I trust the driver completely, upon leaving, over the length of the trip, and upon crossing the Mississippi, I begin to really worry about their home life. Hope everything's okay with the family.
"I might do a psycho run" my man says as if he's ever done a non-psycho run
Sane run, never heard of it

not sure if at 0.25 he sounds drunk or 0.5 but one of them for sure.

I have to say that I was legit surprised by the ending. This run had a bit of everything...
It didn't have a bit of non-psycho mining though, his new strategy of going up/down is better than mining randomly, but then he randomly decides to go somewhere else.
Finally it is here, the one run to rule them all

Press 1 to doubt the doubters
to see this happen live as an adamant yt frog/rarely on the stream made my whole goddamn week
I love the parts where NL finds a motherload
poor "I am gonna sleep to it" guy, every spare second NL had on attack was just repeated slapping of the ground with the boucy electro blade. I am wide awake and still got shook.
I’ve probably woken up to this video playing from auto play at least a dozen times by now. YT really loves this video
NL: I think it's a good idea to send back ressources at the start
Also NL: Hords Water like he's living in Florida
I love the people at 90 minutes saying to go home. If only they knew that they were barely at the halfway mark.
How many times did we see this man spend triangles for multiplier and we went "NOOOOO" well who's laughing now. All of us and him I'd wager. What a damn run
Some math here involved. Every 2 triangles spent give him 1 point per wave. Meanwhile, every 2 triangles not spent give him health to survive one more wave for +100 points.

We need more 2+ hour runs. This was amazing.
The wave at 42:18 was flow state level of gameplay... Like goddamn the target selection and aiming was perfect
I spent 4 days watching this video and loved every second of it. More long dome keeper please!

Loved how you finally understand how to use the teleporter and the probe properly.
A 3 hour episode is the perfect thing to come home from work to
This might seem like the ultimate psycho mining strategy, but since the gadgets and the iron are always in at least a 2x2 block, you can actually mine every 3 levels instead of every 2. You cut down the amount of mining per area by 50% and you only miss out on ⅓ of the water and cobalt, while getting 150% oc your usual amount of iron
This is how I do it starting from the third layer.
NL: *probes and sees literally nothing yet mines around entire area anyways*
also NL: "Getting 0 is a slap in the face"
NL reminded me of my favorite scene from the hit summer blockbuster Morbius when the titular character, Morbius, drank a large McDonald's Sprite.
(Happy to see the legendary 3 hour run posted)
47:15 here’s one for you, NL. “That’s got to be the best McDonald’s Sprite I’ve ever seen”
1:36:45 "I need you to be my probe" probes anyway
All the Lift needs is to pick up the first thing they run into instead of going through a whole cycle so you can go all the way to derock and work your way up. That way you can pull things up to shorten how much time it takes for them to bring stuff up
Every time he charges his probe, the voice of Dan Gheesling, Big Brother runner-up, echoes in my mind…
“Prejack me”

Rebuttal to vertical mining: Mining vertically means you can't drag resources to the centre. It also means having to catch and resources that fall when you're mining upwards. Plus just a bunch of waste mining creating frequent loops instead of long trenches.

Some thoughts. The reflector upgrade is undervalued (at 8 iron I was begging you to take it). Almost all damage taken is in the form of projectiles... so concentrating on blocking projectiles is more important. The tree. If you can plant it on a triangle/cobalt deposit... isn't that one cobalt every turn, eventually? That could keep you running forever. BTW, put it on three iron and get three iron per turn (I think).
Wither is a great ability too (especially with overcharge and condenser). To the point that you fire it, block projectiles, and wait for most enemies to die. You chose debilitate, which seems just about as effective (but your focus shifts more to dealing blade damage).

2:10:00 I really felt the vastness of the map here. Something you sort of have to watch the whole thing to get. There is no minimap; you just get lost.
No clue how you score 1 mil +. Even with Korean RTS reflexes, the slavish asceticism of a monk sending resources back, and endless cobalt due to tree... must be something broken.
You don't hit 1mil, 80k might be possible, but everyone who currently has more than that cheated.
