In my no cloak challenge run, I ended up doing dashless, clawless blue lake skip. I spent about 3 hours on it before succeeding once. And then I realized that it barely unlocks anything. To progress I had to get claw.
On a more serious note, joining your discord (despite my controversies) was a very surreal experience for me, it was one of my first interactions with a trans individual and it helped me be who I am, a major lgbtq supporter everywhere I go. I hope your ambitions are fulfilled, fly high fire.
Hello! I discovered your channel in 2021. I must say it's good to know you're doing well. I just have to say thank you, your videos helped me in a very difficult stage of my life in 2021 and 2022. I will always admire the technicality and dedication you did put into Hollow Knight's mechanics, presenting them in such an entertaining, fun and easy-to-follow narrative. You should do what is best for you and makes you happy. (Of course, I will wait as long as necessary for the final video of the clawless route) Good luck and success!
@@StraightCurve2 shades have a despawn ring, you cant lure the shade anywhere close enough to the edge for it to be useful. in case you're interested, you can check these rings out for yourself using debug mod
If you allow the float glitch, then most of these probably aren't softlocks. I confirmed greenpath is NOT a softlock and it's pretty trivial to float out. Ancient Basin is still a softlock because you didn't get fireball and so can't do float.
@@kevinspinar7099 you can get float without fireball. however like i said in the video i specifically wanted to limit everything to nmg, you could always just install benchwarp or edit your save file for an even easier escape
I’m trying to skip fire ball and balder with long nail is too precise for me and I can’t do the shade long nail only so I would like to know where to get the 4th mask shard (spiky caterpillar room) wait I figured it out while writing this shade skip or bird (knew that one it’s just hard)
Genuine question from someone who burned 400 essence on dreamgate trying wings stallball: is the clip lower than 60 fps for more height? how do you get that much height from the pogo because I am nowhere close
I recently rediscovered this channel, I wanted to say that your HK videos were always some of my favourites, but not because they were HK. It was the way they were made and they had a type of charm to them that I enjoyed. I hope you come back one day and make more videos, but I'm happy you prioritized your mental health over videos. I can certainly relate to falling out of love with Hollow Knight, and while I still enojy games, I do relate alot to feeling burnt out on things you used to enjoy. I hope that you keep doing what you enjoy doing and I look forward to seeing what you do next!
Haven’t checked in with this channel in a long time and I’m probably late to this video but I’ll leave my thoughts anyway. Burnout is such a real struggle and I feel you made the right move by just stepping away from the channel. Although HK is what this channel may have been originally built on it doesn’t have to stay that way. Do what you feel is the best for your health and happiness, you will have some who continue to stick around. Best of luck Fire with your future for this channel (also you probably don’t remember me but we played a few HK bingos like 2 years ago)
I think, baldur instakill skip between forgotten crossroads and greenpath should be in this video. I am training this right now and really don't understand how to get it
As a software engineer myself, I would say that your use of "softlock" was exactly correct. A "hardlock" (or more commonly, "deadlock") typically refers to a scenario where the program is completely frozen and non-responsive, while "softlock" refers to a situation where the program is responsive, but it is impossible to make progress.
to be fair, "person whose channel's identity and focus changes every now and then depending on what theyre obsessed with right now" is an existing type of channel and you seem interesting enough for me to listen to pretty much anything? but its also extremely understandable to also, yknow, not do that; one way or another i DO wish u luck w everything, ur vibes are awesome lol
Thank you for your work on the game's skips and possibilities, you and your community has helped me a lot, and I appreciate the time and effort you put into making those videos! You don't owe us, we owe you. Take care!
Nooooooo, some people have unsubscribed and you're not at the funny number anymore. How tragic. Regardless, I'm sorry to hear you've been having a tough time, but glad to hear you're doing at least somewhat better now, and I hope the latter trend will continue. Whether you ever come back to this channel or not, and regardless of whatever you post if you do, here's wishing you well.
Also wait ok- idk how much you know about the current state of hk challenge running but if you do have knowledge about it, I’m assuming shriek pogo was discovered after clawless was made possible with downpatching, does shriek pogo affect clawless? Or is it not possible to get shriek clawless? I remember you mentioning using shriek to get the deepnest masks up to beasts den as an idea in the final video on the matter so I’d assume it is possible to get shriek..
The HK burnout and content burnout are both very real. It can be pretty taxing and I can imagine especially so with a larger audience. Hope you rest at ease somewhat now.
Wow, this video hit REALLY close to home. As a trans girl who also got burned out from hollow knight for years, dealt with depression and anxiety and the stress of struggling with university and using games to deflect away having to think about anything. I'm not sure how long it will be before I can truly start my "journey" but after getting burnout from hollow knight, I've now moved onto Ultros, a game I can definitely recommend trying out. Also on softlocks, there is no agreed upon terminology! I always reserve hardlock for "losing control of character completely" and then temporary or permanent as a separate thing.
Just wanted to say, thank you so much for all the videos you have made and shared with us. I will continue enjoying those videos for a long time to come, and you owe us absolutely nothing else. My only hope for you is that you take that same incredible dedication, ingenuity, persistence, and care that you put into these videos and challenges, and turn it towards growing into whatever person you want to become. Truly wishing you all the best, congrats on your transition, and have fun with the whole rest of your life!
I'm perfectly fine with this! Personally, I'm also into programming, music, and anything really creative (I'm also subscribed to workshop videos). Happy that you've changed your decisions.
Thank you for choosing to focus on yourself rather than a silly little RU-vid channel, always the right move :) Hope you find some fun stuff to upload if you end up continuing RU-vid, and good luck on everything if you choose not to :3
