Instead of skimming through the vod in 5 second increments, now I'm watching through at 3x speed. I also set-up a custom macro to grab timestamps. Lantern technically isn't completion percentage, so I'm not sure if I want to track it or not. Since it feels significant to me, I've included it for now as a decimal point in completion, unsure if I'll keep it that way or come up with a different system. Please let me know if you find this interesting/useful, if you notice anything I missed, if you have ideas for how I could format this to be more pretty/usable, or if you have ideas for other stats that could be fun to track.
Very nice! I'd probably consider the lantern a whole inventory item even if it isn't necessary for main progression. Maybe I can get Mawlek with my new nail! Thanks for watching again!
hmm, I should change by twitch username to something that better matches my yt and discord usernames. I think "T" is too short for twitch to accept... maybe smthg like "T._._.__"? Or would that be strange... Anyway, here's some of my thoughts watching this: Nice job making it to city! That's a major milestone, and I count at least 8 options you have for where to go next for significant progression It was kind of funny watching you heal out of habit when in crossroads, even when you hadn't gotten hit by anything. I think I counted that happening 5 times: at 44:25, 49:29, 52:49, 1:04:21, and 2:31:23 On your last attempt at Mawlek you were about 31% through the fight. Though, the nail upgrade you got is very significant. If you were to repeat that fight with the upgraded nail you would be 57% of the way to beating Mawlek At 1:12:34 there was some discussion about "Hollow Knight-likes" vs general metroidvanias, and I wanted to clarify my thoughts on that. While I think "Hollow Knight-likes" is kind of a dumb term, and I don't think it's at all its own genre, I do think there is a distinction to be made between Hollow Knight inspired games and games that are inspired directly from Metroid. This is most obvious in artsyle, but similarities in combat, difficulty scaling, and emphasis in non-linearity are noticable and distinct from the wider metroidvania genre. 1:22:12 "oh you knew this". Guilty, lol. I like phrasing my suggestions as questions, you could probably notice me doing that in a few places throughout the stream if you were looking for it. Lemme know if it's obnoxious At 1:57:05 I think my message could have come across as more sarcastic/condescending than I was intending. I should have added a "lol" to the end of it Anyway, cool vid. I'm loving your hollow knight playthrough so far. I'm also considering going through some of your vods and catching up on some of your other ongoing games. It seems like Rimworld, Ark, and Raft are the main ones I'm noticing. Do you have a recommendation for which one I should catch up on and join you for?
Hehe I think I heal on instinct like reloading in a shooter even when the ammo is full, and the suggestions aren't obnoxious!! If I call something out like that I appreciate little nudges here in there, else I may miss them! Thanks so much for the comment and watching through the VOD! It means a lot that people enjoy watching them! I'm very excited to continue this game!! If you'd like to watch through other series, I recommend going for games that you are either interested in/have played yourself or games you know little about so it's all new and exciting! I had a lot of fun with Half Life and still have a DLC for HL1 and the entirety of HL2 to go through too :D
