The voice over for this video was mentally draining for me. There are only four drastically different lines, but I don’t like my own voice. Recording this voice over took weeks while the editing took days. Those four lines may seem cringy or annoying, but it is something I needed to do. I need to stop being untrue to myself and be me. I hope you all can understand as I work on my voice and become more comfortable with myself.
Honestly considering ur not far into ur voice training journey it's not as bad as you think it is. I hope you can get it to a place where you're happy with it, too.
Dude don't sweat it your voice is great, from context of other comments and twitter bio I assume youre trans? Watched a few vids and had no idea so your voice training is going well imo, hope you continue to make more vids and get more comfortable with your boice
Unless you use Hammer or Hunting Horn in which case you go for the equally-satisfying KO. Which would probably be a bit too OP in a Souls game. Imagine a stagger that lasts 10 to 15 seconds.
@@MettanAtemidk man, equally satisfying? Tail’s in the back, longsword mains will never know the joy of vibe-checking a charging monster head on with a a smart car in a stick.
I've never understood why people struggle with it. Any time I've done it I pretty much just run straight behind him and go for the very tip of the tail. I'm not saying that you or anyone is bad or that I'm good, I'm just a little confused. Maybe I'm just lucky. Maybe my thousands of hours in Monster Hunter getting part breaks has made tricky tailcuts as muscle memorized to me as breathing.
Running there is the problem. Even with a spear, I was hard pressed to reach it before he turned around or just attacked with it. Soul Spear, of all things, is the way to go.
@@DanteTorn Maybe because Seath has an attack when you are behind him, that usually oneshots you or deals like 90% of tankier builds, and if you aren't using Halberts (Long range and extremely fast and damaging running attack) it becomes an ordeal, and because of what counts as a tail is difficult to correctly land attacks on it specifically at the tip and not just behind it. And because you specifically need either ninja flips or low loading to reach it in time because he moves alot.
@@DanteTorn I struggled massively the first time I got it: Seath would constantly be turning around faster than I could sprint, and his tail would often clip through walls and be unreachable. I also dealt very little damage and took too much because I had no idea what I was doing with stats and upgrades; it was Hell. In every subsequent attempt, I realized that I was either inconceivably incompetent or very unlucky - probably a bit of both - because there was almost no issue.
So glad so many comments are so positive, being a smaller creator 1 negative comment can feel like 1000 im sure. Super happy for you and good luck with more training, I know how mentally draining it can be and how talking in your "old" or "normal" voice just feels wrong so either way it just feels so mentally exhausting sometimes, but it looks like almost all of your community is super supportive ❤
Thank you, the support out weighs the negativity so much. I am one of the luckiest girls in the world and honestly I am internally grateful to everybody forever.
this is a serious question and not trying to be offensive, why do a lot of trans ppl feel the need to alter their voice? why not just use your regular voice? i thought most trans ppl thought that sex and gender are different, why would you feel the need to alter something biological when that isnt technically the problem? and isnt the whole thing about accepting your self? genuinely curious, not trying to be rude
@@postal1955 Most of us want to change out voices because its a way of expressing our gender. It also helps you align yourself with your perceived gender more easily, its great to LOOK like your preferred gender, but for a lot of people it can really bother them to not also SOUND like their preferred gender. So while your voice is biological in a sense, it’s also one of the ways your gender is perceived by yourself and other people. If your voice doesn’t align with your gender, then you change it, same way would your body or the way you dress didn’t. Talking about “accepting yourself”, for lots of people it is about that, but accepting that you’re trans is only the first step. After you do accept it, you want to express it. Thats why people change parts of them after they realise and accept that they are trans. And btw, sex and gender ARE different, changing a part of you that is biological doesn’t conflict with that belief. It’s all about expression. Changing my voice doesn’t equate changing my sex, even if they are both biological aspects of me. For the same reason that surgically changing my sex organs doesn’t actually change my sex at birth. They’re all just ways to get closer to your preferred gender, and if changing your body or your voice are the things they need to feel like who they are, then they do that. PS. Sorry if that was kinda redundant, but a lot of the reasoning overlaps so there isn’t much of a way to explain it all without repeating stuff. And thanks for just asking about it! Anytime the community can help others to understand is a win, so if you’ve still got questions just go ahead and ask! Id love to clear up any confusion and welcome you as another ally ❤
@@postal1955 6 months late but "Dysphoria" is the best answer, when people hear my voice, they think "man" no matter what I look like, no matter how big my chest gets, etc. People love to go "ah deep voice, your a man" a lot, so some of us are basically shamed into it. I have always hated my voice so it's nothing new to me and I just want to change it
You go girl! Voice training is hard af, so proud of you! Getting comfy with a natural voice that is pleasing for oneself can be hard but I'm sure you'll get there! 💞 And loved the concept of the speedrun, cutting tail was so satisfying during my first playthrough when I discovered you could do it
Tail cuts are referenced in DS3 with the Tailbone Spear/Dagger. The tailbone seems linked to the "Tail Gate"/"Wei Lu(?)" from Qigong (Chinese internal alchemy), hence also the Vertebra Shackles. The word for tailbone is biryokotsu, biryo referring to the "tail gate", a hole in the bottom of the ocean where water endlessly leaks away (c.f. Dark Sigil).
im really proud of you for trying voice training and including it in the video. that takes a lot of strength to do (and it sounds good too). also if i may ask do you have any tips on how to get into voice training. ive been a similar case honestly and its been hard to motivate myself to do voice overs for videos ive had ideas for for a while
My answer is most likely similar from everybody else's, but TransVoiceLessons on UA-cam. She has good videos that help, but I understand that it can be hard. She offers vocal coaching and there are other vocal coaches out there. Only issue is it is expensive. Vocal coaching is something I want to do someday, but hundreds of dollars is a lot. With self teaching and motivating yourself I struggle with that. My vocal training has been for a while, but very on and off. I remember times of hearing my own voice while training and giving up. Similar thing with voice overs, but be yourself and find what makes you happy. That is something so simple that I just had to learn. I got so tired of the pain I had recording my voice that I just decided to do what makes me happy. Every once in a while recording I slipped into a more feminine voice and I realized that made me happier. I enjoyed my voice overs more and had an easier time during the process. Granted my coping skills are most definably not good ones, so I don't want to share them. My advice is not the best. I don't want to say anything wrong. There are people way more knowledgeable than I am. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I know you can do it.
@@KindlyMino From the little that I've heard, I think your progress is good. I think I mostly watched TransVoiceLessons, but also just took little bits of advice from other people.

Super proud of you for putting those lines in the video, and honestly for transitioning and training your voice.

@@jerry6181what is mentally ill is spreading so much hate for something that has existed for as long as gender has lol. if you cant give basic respect, at least dont bother being rude. its exhausting for yourself and everyone else
@@superubergooberThe term “gender” was coined by Dr. John Money in the 1950’s. The very same doctor that forced two twin boys to perform sex acts on eachother when one of the boys was raised as a girl from birth. Both boys committed suicide by the age of 45, one by overdose and the other by suck-starting a 12-gauge. Not the win that you think it is. Damn shame that this self-destructive ideology claims another young man from fulfilling his potential.
The amount of effort you put in your videos, from the full captions to explaining every speedrun strat, is absolutely amazing and youre now my favorite souls youtuber. Good luck on the voice training too! I'm sure you'll notice positive changes in the future ^_^
I have no clue if anyone has commented this and I'm too lazy to scroll down and I know that it was probably a joke but I will have to have my 🤓☝ moment here about the translation. Although many shit has been mistranslated from Japanese to English in Dark Souls, Ash Lake is not one of them. The name of the area in Japanese is 灰の湖(Hai no Mizuumi) which, translates to literally Ash Lake. So no, unfortunately it was not mistranslated, but I have never stopped to really notice that the Ash Lake indeed is more like an Island/Peninsula than a lake lol (unless we implying the water is land as said) Other than that, amazing video and pretty chill speedrun, love these
@7ReinhardHeydrich i don't know about Mino, but their character is indeed a woman EDIT: ooo Mino is indeed a girl! i just found their channel and am mostly watching their old videos
This is a very cool idea for a run, great video! Also, reading the reason you changed those couple of lines and hearing them brought a smile to my face. I'm glad you're becoming more comfortable with yourself :3
god voice training is annoying as fuck (mainly bc it reminds me of how dehydrated I am), but it's super nice when it works out. good on you girl for trying something new, and I hope u find it as rewarding as other ppl I know
I think that in order to trigger goughs' kalameet dialogue it's only necessary to trigger the cutscene where he flies over his arena, you don't even need to get down, but you do have to exhaust goughs dialogue first
14 minutes in and I was not expecting this run to be so technical. It's been several years since I did any speedruns for Dark Souls but I'm going to try this one.
This is my first exposure to your channel, and I'm gonna be honest, I really thought there was a second person doing the voice overs with you. I came to the comments about halfway through the video and it helped explain things a bit. Your voice training is coming along fantastic, and I wish you luck! Keep it up and pursue your happiness.
Personally I think getting the tail weapons in DS1 was some of the most tedious and frustrating experiences I've had in any of the games ever 😂 it wouldn't have been as bad though if the weapons were actually good, kinda sucks that most of them don't even scale which doesn't make them too viable but I wouldn't mind if they added tail cutting or even limb dismemberment in general in the future games as a way to change up gameplay and make fights more unique each time you play.
I get to be one of the 5 people that comment! Love the video! To be frank, I don't find your explanations of the glitches poorly done at all. Quite informative actually. Keep doing you.
Amazing video! I really love the way you explain things. The relaxing voice over and music makes this almost like a meditation video for me. Absolutely soothing and relaxing.
This video was great! I miss tail cuts in the souls games, and I still try it in elden ring every now then even though I know it won’t do anything🥲 I hope they bring something like that back in their next game. Honestly, I just like the feature of being able to dismember enemies, imagine how satisfying it would be if you could chop up normal enemies in a game like bloodborne!
i wish you the best of luck on your transition ❤️ lit video btw don’t be ashamed of ur voice at all bruh this video was edited amazingly and u explained everything hella well even a brainlet like me could understand lol GO YOU!!!!!
Another absolutely amazing video :) Tail cuts were one of my favourite parts of dark souls, very sad that dismemberment went out of style in these games
I wish they kept the tailcuts for Dark Souls 3. I would love to get a cool sword from Midir's tail. At least I have Monster Hunter to enjoy chopping off tails in
wonderful progress with your voice so far! best of luck as you continue your voice training journey, can't wait to hear you be more comfortable in the voice over. you're doing amazing!
Keep up with the voice training! From what I heard you're getting it on lock! The tail cut run idea is really creative! You've definitely earned a sub, I hope I can hear your voice change, guess ill just have to watch all your videos when you upload them! 🤍🤍
hiiii minoan!!!! hope youre doing well ^^ excited for the new video!!! *update on the diorama cat cafe- will be going for my birthday weekend in mid november
Sekiro had some similar mechanics that I feel follow the same direction as tailcuts. Bosses reacting uniquely to certain Tools, having attacks that can be parried in non-standard ways, or hookshot-points being integrated into a boss' body.
Pff wow did you know I didn't know any of that wild stuff you explained and think its pretty cool how you know those little details that some might be confused about. Quality stuff
I haven't launched this game since october 22, 2022 (it's gonna be a full year tomorrow) and this video served to remind me that this is my comfort game. I know pretty much everything there is to know and I've completed it many times before, I thought to myself that I completed it for one last time at some point but given that I have a 5th steam account I would gladly go for another playthrough to get all of the achievements. I understand the voice struggle, we're in this together. It's part of the reason why I felt this way just now. It gave me relief having discovered it just now. -Anri
As a Monster Hunter fan, I really would love more Tailcuts in new from-titles. I wasn't able to cut tails for jack-shit in Dark Souls Remastered though, outside of Gargoyles and Gaping Dragon. I need to revisit in my now NG+ sace eventually because I forgot to kill Kalameet, Priscilla, and I failed to get the Moonlight Greatsword (a cool ass weapon)
I do feel like later games removed Tail cuts because of the increase in speed and complex boss movements. Even DS1 had the dlc bosses tail cuts be really tricky because of how they moved
@user-uz4oq1pw8v his tail hitbox is kinda tricky to hit. That combined with the tail huge hp makes it harder to get the tail cut before killing kalameet
Some of them were not even on purpose. I would just gradually at times find myself feminizing my voice while recording. It was one of the things that helped pushed me into going full force with my voice training. That and gender envy from other girls voices.
@minoan13 hell yes! it's good to hear things like one's vocal tract shortening unconsciously, cutting a lot of lower frequencies without actually shifting the fundamental pitch, kind of like applying EQ to yourself. keep it up!
Your sarcasm made the Great hollow feel fun. That's the first video I've seen from you, and you earned a sub. Edit: I lied. The first video I saw was Demon's Souls True death.
Hey I'm so stoked to find out my new favourite Dark Souls youtuber ends up being one of us! Those lines you recorded sound like you might already have someone you're practicing with, but if you need some help, feel free to reach out. I'm a vocal coach and conduct a small trans community choir here in Berlin. As a musician it's not easy for me to support channels financially so if I can help in other ways, I'm always glad :)
Thank you so much! I have not really been practicing with anybody. Coaching would defiantly be a help. Let me know how I can reach you so we can discuss this some more.
ooh also for voice training: I find that while I can't always talk in a higher tone, I can usually talk in a lighter resonance, which is pretty nice for lower energy days
Your videos make me sleepy But in the best way Cause it isn't because your videos are boring Quite the opposite they are fun But you have a very comforting voice and the lofi in the background combines to make me very relaxed and sleepy I can only imagine how amazing and calming your voice will be after voice training
You made a joke that got me thinking, bc the rotting, undead dragon torsos being related and above the “Living Failure” legs, in a series where everybody keeps trying to recreate everlasting dragons is actually making a lot of sense to me 🤯
I strongly agree I do hope for the DLC of Elder ring if it could be possible but I got to wait and see if not and then I will hope a new project FromSoftware games can bring back tail cutting mechanics and the reward you with weapons or items it's just so satisfying to experience it😌
I think there's a mod you can install that specifically causes that black knight in the basin to always drop its halberd, just to save speedrunners from having to reset 50 billion times. Even casually it's nice to use, since it's the only one you can get it from until you get all the way to the kiln. Whoever's idea it was to lock the halberd behind the FINAL AREA OF THE GAME if you don't get it in the basin is a sadist.
I normally joke about how souls players will get hit by an attack once and explain how bad a hitbox is. But seeing the fact that they gave the golem knee hitboxes was wild
I loved that part. There is something funny about complaining about a hitbox and then debugging the game show how dumb the hit was. From has a good reason for the hitbox it just looked weird because I was behind it.
@@KindlyMino that was am amazing part of this incredible video. I love your speed runs because they are inherently silly but then you use speedrunner brain to make a simple concept like "large chest ahead" into a pretty funny run
Did a dab and realized the reason the boulder resets in Sens fortress is because theres a giant dropping them down as well as the other giant that throws shit
Regarding Kalameet, I know for a fact you don't need to initiate the fight. I've managed to unlock Gough's dialogue by just running to the waterfall, where Kalameet flies overhead, then going down to kill the Crystal Lizard and, of course, reaching the arena but dying from fall damage. So perhaps you need to die in the arena? Since you Darksigned away, the game may not have counted that as a failed attempt at Kalameet.

As a Monster Hunter veteran, tail cuts are like a drug, you can't get enough of it and it's always what you go for during a hunt.
Unless you use Hammer or Hunting Horn in which case you go for the equally-satisfying KO.
Which would probably be a bit too OP in a Souls game. Imagine a stagger that lasts 10 to 15 seconds.
Cutting tails in MH will never not be satisfying.

The very same doctor that forced two twin boys to perform sex acts on eachother when one of the boys was raised as a girl from birth. Both boys committed suicide by the age of 45, one by overdose and the other by suck-starting a 12-gauge.
Not the win that you think it is. Damn shame that this self-destructive ideology claims another young man from fulfilling his potential.
The amount of effort you put in your videos, from the full captions to explaining every speedrun strat, is absolutely amazing and youre now my favorite souls youtuber. Good luck on the voice training too! I'm sure you'll notice positive changes in the future ^_^
I have no clue if anyone has commented this and I'm too lazy to scroll down and I know that it was probably a joke but I will have to have my 🤓☝ moment here about the translation.
Although many shit has been mistranslated from Japanese to English in Dark Souls, Ash Lake is not one of them. The name of the area in Japanese is 灰の湖(Hai no Mizuumi) which, translates to literally Ash Lake. So no, unfortunately it was not mistranslated, but I have never stopped to really notice that the Ash Lake indeed is more like an Island/Peninsula than a lake lol (unless we implying the water is land as said)
Other than that, amazing video and pretty chill speedrun, love these
the voice change threw me off before i read the pinned comment, so proud of you for being yourself
Kind of funny Sekiro doesn't have any tail cuts considering the whole thing is probably based on Yamata no Orochi.
@@randomdude4158 Maybe the serpents or the Divine Dragon?
probably cuz of the way weapons and attacking is different in sekiro
Local woman chases tail for forty minutes
@7ReinhardHeydrich i don't know about Mino, but their character is indeed a woman
EDIT: ooo Mino is indeed a girl! i just found their channel and am mostly watching their old videos
This is a very cool idea for a run, great video! Also, reading the reason you changed those couple of lines and hearing them brought a smile to my face. I'm glad you're becoming more comfortable with yourself :3
god voice training is annoying as fuck (mainly bc it reminds me of how dehydrated I am), but it's super nice when it works out. good on you girl for trying something new, and I hope u find it as rewarding as other ppl I know
First time here, loved the video it was a lot of fun and I'm happy for you, voice training and dysphoria is pain, but i wish the best for you!
youve quickly become one of my favorite youtubers, your video quality is honestly insane, cant wait for more
This was a nice watch. I just played through Dark Souls again myself for the first time in many years. Timeless masterpiece.
i started playing elden ring, saw them chonky dragons and thought about the tail cuts... a small peice of me died when it didn't happen.
The contrast of voices from this to your latest video is crazy, you sound like a completely different person. Amazing work on your voice training!
I may not have played ds1, but as a Monster Hunter player, im always down to see some nice tail cuts
I think that in order to trigger goughs' kalameet dialogue it's only necessary to trigger the cutscene where he flies over his arena, you don't even need to get down, but you do have to exhaust goughs dialogue first
14 minutes in and I was not expecting this run to be so technical. It's been several years since I did any speedruns for Dark Souls but I'm going to try this one.
This is my first exposure to your channel, and I'm gonna be honest, I really thought there was a second person doing the voice overs with you. I came to the comments about halfway through the video and it helped explain things a bit. Your voice training is coming along fantastic, and I wish you luck! Keep it up and pursue your happiness.
This was awesome, I'm surprised that more people haven't done this run
Great voice training. I’m looking forward to following your journey :3
yo appericate muting the game audio when Kalameet does *that* move.
What a calming video. And i love the general idea of just taking tails and quiting 😂 This is what Dark Souls was for
Good audio editing is extremely underrated and one of the big reasons I don't sub to a lot of channels, and why I'm subbed to this one.

Personally I think getting the tail weapons in DS1 was some of the most tedious and frustrating experiences I've had in any of the games ever 😂 it wouldn't have been as bad though if the weapons were actually good, kinda sucks that most of them don't even scale which doesn't make them too viable but I wouldn't mind if they added tail cutting or even limb dismemberment in general in the future games as a way to change up gameplay and make fights more unique each time you play.
I get to be one of the 5 people that comment!
Love the video! To be frank, I don't find your explanations of the glitches poorly done at all. Quite informative actually. Keep doing you.
Amazing video! I really love the way you explain things. The relaxing voice over and music makes this almost like a meditation video for me. Absolutely soothing and relaxing.
This video was great! I miss tail cuts in the souls games, and I still try it in elden ring every now then even though I know it won’t do anything🥲
I hope they bring something like that back in their next game. Honestly, I just like the feature of being able to dismember enemies, imagine how satisfying it would be if you could chop up normal enemies in a game like bloodborne!
Your voice is very soothing. I could probably fall asleep to it.
i wish you the best of luck on your transition ❤️ lit video btw don’t be ashamed of ur voice at all bruh this video was edited amazingly and u explained everything hella well even a brainlet like me could understand lol GO YOU!!!!!
I feel like the limb break staggers in Bloodborne are the spiritual successors to this mechanic.
Another absolutely amazing video :) Tail cuts were one of my favourite parts of dark souls, very sad that dismemberment went out of style in these games
Y'know i wasn't planning on doing voice training for a while because I was afraid to start but, this helped. Thanks.
I wish they kept the tailcuts for Dark Souls 3. I would love to get a cool sword from Midir's tail.
At least I have Monster Hunter to enjoy chopping off tails in
wonderful progress with your voice so far! best of luck as you continue your voice training journey, can't wait to hear you be more comfortable in the voice over. you're doing amazing!
Earned a sub, and I look forwards to hearing more of your true voice
Keep up with the voice training! From what I heard you're getting it on lock! The tail cut run idea is really creative! You've definitely earned a sub, I hope I can hear your voice change, guess ill just have to watch all your videos when you upload them! 🤍🤍
hiiii minoan!!!! hope youre doing well ^^ excited for the new video!!! *update on the diorama cat cafe- will be going for my birthday weekend in mid november
Lets go. CAT CAFE!
great video. interesting run and I learned a lot of cool tricks that I’ll keep in mind for future playthroughs
insanely interesting video and will be gladly sticking around for more stuff! (and hopefully gradually more with a voice you are comfortable with)
Sekiro had some similar mechanics that I feel follow the same direction as tailcuts. Bosses reacting uniquely to certain Tools, having attacks that can be parried in non-standard ways, or hookshot-points being integrated into a boss' body.
im glad that people are still making videos about the dark souls games even after ds3 has been out for 7 years
Pff wow did you know I didn't know any of that wild stuff you explained and think its pretty cool how you know those little details that some might be confused about. Quality stuff
I haven't launched this game since october 22, 2022 (it's gonna be a full year tomorrow) and this video served to remind me that this is my comfort game.
I know pretty much everything there is to know and I've completed it many times before, I thought to myself that I completed it for one last time at some point but given that I have a 5th steam account I would gladly go for another playthrough to get all of the achievements.
I understand the voice struggle, we're in this together. It's part of the reason why I felt this way just now. It gave me relief having discovered it just now.
-Anri
Dark souls are comfort games as well. It is a weird one, but it makes sense to me.
I love the super low effort intro, with the dragon and T-pose Priscilla. Beautiful.
I find it amusing that the canon chosen undead for this run is just a fiend who's only here to steal tails form ancient and mythical beasts.
I've never watched a DS speed run, this made my head hurt. Great video
Great video as always, and good luck on the voice training :)
I wish I had as much confidence as you, good luck with your transition!
I'm so proud of you for showing your voice training even though i don't actually know you
As a Monster Hunter fan, I really would love more Tailcuts in new from-titles.
I wasn't able to cut tails for jack-shit in Dark Souls Remastered though, outside of Gargoyles and Gaping Dragon.
I need to revisit in my now NG+ sace eventually because I forgot to kill Kalameet, Priscilla, and I failed to get the Moonlight Greatsword (a cool ass weapon)
I do feel like later games removed Tail cuts because of the increase in speed and complex boss movements. Even DS1 had the dlc bosses tail cuts be really tricky because of how they moved
I think the main problem with kalameet is that his defences are just insanely high
@user-uz4oq1pw8v his tail hitbox is kinda tricky to hit. That combined with the tail huge hp makes it harder to get the tail cut before killing kalameet
I wish this feature would come back. So satisfying and at time’s challenging.

Your vids are so cozy! Do what you gotta do to be comfortable.
best of luck with the voice training! just from those few lines it sounds like it's already coming along great
doing good sis! keep it up!
you're sounding really good! voice stuff is frickin hard and scary
also, if it's okay to point out, the explanation of the rusted iron ring at 6:20 or so has a really nice gradual feminization of tone
Some of them were not even on purpose. I would just gradually at times find myself feminizing my voice while recording. It was one of the things that helped pushed me into going full force with my voice training. That and gender envy from other girls voices.
@minoan13 hell yes! it's good to hear things like one's vocal tract shortening unconsciously, cutting a lot of lower frequencies without actually shifting the fundamental pitch, kind of like applying EQ to yourself. keep it up!
As always, entertaining & informative. Subbed for future uploads.
Your sarcasm made the Great hollow feel fun. That's the first video I've seen from you, and you earned a sub.
Edit: I lied. The first video I saw was Demon's Souls True death.
Hey I'm so stoked to find out my new favourite Dark Souls youtuber ends up being one of us! Those lines you recorded sound like you might already have someone you're practicing with, but if you need some help, feel free to reach out. I'm a vocal coach and conduct a small trans community choir here in Berlin. As a musician it's not easy for me to support channels financially so if I can help in other ways, I'm always glad :)
Thank you so much! I have not really been practicing with anybody. Coaching would defiantly be a help. Let me know how I can reach you so we can discuss this some more.
@@KindlyMino I sent you a mail :)
ooh also for voice training: I find that while I can't always talk in a higher tone, I can usually talk in a lighter resonance, which is pretty nice for lower energy days
LETS GOOOO DARKSOULS 1 CONTENT YOU LOVE TO SEE IT RAHHHHH (Love your stuff btw)
Your videos make me sleepy
But in the best way
Cause it isn't because your videos are boring
Quite the opposite they are fun
But you have a very comforting voice and the lofi in the background combines to make me very relaxed and sleepy
I can only imagine how amazing and calming your voice will be after voice training
i really love DS1 and im really glad i found your channel such a relaxong atmosphere with every vid godbless
You made a joke that got me thinking, bc the rotting, undead dragon torsos being related and above the “Living Failure” legs, in a series where everybody keeps trying to recreate everlasting dragons is actually making a lot of sense to me 🤯
I strongly agree I do hope for the DLC of Elder ring if it could be possible but I got to wait and see if not and then I will hope a new project FromSoftware games can bring back tail cutting mechanics and the reward you with weapons or items it's just so satisfying to experience it😌
16:54 i actually did, jokes on you!
I think there's a mod you can install that specifically causes that black knight in the basin to always drop its halberd, just to save speedrunners from having to reset 50 billion times. Even casually it's nice to use, since it's the only one you can get it from until you get all the way to the kiln. Whoever's idea it was to lock the halberd behind the FINAL AREA OF THE GAME if you don't get it in the basin is a sadist.
legit thought the voice was another person ur doing great
also super entertaining video idea, always loved ur vids!!!
This guy makes nonstop dark souls bangers
Great video and the lines were good ❤
41:47 Dogs are the hardest boss in the entire soulsborne history. And they are everywhere in elden ring. Exposure therapy for sure!
Amazing video, very clear speech!
thanks for this beat ds using the souls glitch but thanks to this vid i dont feel as bad for the glitches
I normally joke about how souls players will get hit by an attack once and explain how bad a hitbox is. But seeing the fact that they gave the golem knee hitboxes was wild
I loved that part. There is something funny about complaining about a hitbox and then debugging the game show how dumb the hit was. From has a good reason for the hitbox it just looked weird because I was behind it.
@@KindlyMino that was am amazing part of this incredible video. I love your speed runs because they are inherently silly but then you use speedrunner brain to make a simple concept like "large chest ahead" into a pretty funny run
Im pretty sure you need to exhaust goughs dialogue before going to kalameet, then go back to gough
A stunning O&S fight. Insane.
Did a dab and realized the reason the boulder resets in Sens fortress is because theres a giant dropping them down as well as the other giant that throws shit
Regarding Kalameet, I know for a fact you don't need to initiate the fight. I've managed to unlock Gough's dialogue by just running to the waterfall, where Kalameet flies overhead, then going down to kill the Crystal Lizard and, of course, reaching the arena but dying from fall damage. So perhaps you need to die in the arena? Since you Darksigned away, the game may not have counted that as a failed attempt at Kalameet.
I thought this was for MH when I first saw it, but I'm not disappointed
