Hey man, I was cheering the whole time, "just play your blocks and let Mercury Hourglass kill them dead." A win is a win. Doesn't matter how you get there.
A win is a win indeed so no hate here. And NL definately did have a good setup to passively whittle them down. Just funny how much of a habit forming pattern his aversion to attacking them is.
The difference of me understanding basically nothing about the bazaar and therefore having no opinions on his plays and just enjoying the video versus slay the spire where I'm subtly gritting my teeth with every choice he makes and it takes every ounce of restraint not to post an essay in his comments section - I'm not making it out of samsara this time around folks
41:56 NL: "Now, we don't necessarily have to rest." Me: "Oh thank god he remembered the pipe to remove pain." NL: "We could upgrade..." Me: "Or toke... it's right there..." NL: *rests* I feel like the square hole girl.
Bro. It's an NL decision like this one that I still remember.... from Monster Train that I watched like 4 years ago! It's like a personal meme for me, I still see the reflections of that same unfathomable logic coming up after the years, this time in the StS campfire you mention. "I have options A, B, and C. I don't need A, but I don't need B. Therefore, I'll take A"
yeah two terrors are so good, theres so many bosses who heal or get rid of their debuffs. even the awoken one has the 2nd life 2 terrors is meta especially a free one.
Skipping upgraded Terror and removing a strike instead of upgrading all strikes and defends is legit unhinged behavior. He played a shitload of unupgraded strikes and defends after making that choice and every one of them should have been more effective
21:03 me when my wife who is obsessed with christian-broadcast television asks me about the money I spent on gambling and alcohol (this will not leave deep-seated trauma on our child?
41:37 "potion for poison not relevant at all against a boss" Dies to boss that would have died if he had used the free 12 poison on them. Thats our streamer
NL looking away from the screen to look at non existant chat every time he ends the turn so he misses tori + tungsten rod every single time the entire run... (except for once lol)
Me when I find a web site that claims to be able to use mathematics to give me good odds on sports betting but in reality it's only making my gambling addiction worse: 40:24
That one seems winnable, maybe if we kept the poison potion and upgraded thousand cuts? Both are actually a ton of damage, particularly with bark and envenom giving a stronger baseline. Then the question becomes - do we poison at fight start or after the heal?
I had no idea there were bespoken bazaar yt videos I've been ignoring them because I missed launch and I have no idea what's going on in bazaar streams
I feel like the deck was so-so this run but the relics man the relics. What a guy like me would give for tungsten rod torii, with wing boots anchor and a floor 3 waffles before boss
Literally like. If he fought the darklings better so he could have kept his poison potion he straight up would have won the run was lost in one encounter he was golden up to then
@@yarution367 for real the moment he said “poison is worthless against the boss” I started adding up in my head how much damage it would have done and then he died to a 60 health boss lmaooo
It took 2 minutes and 6 seconds for Northernlion to say “I like my strikes sneaky bro” in this video
04:10 and somehow, rather than benefiting from discard, it enables discard
Cross that one off my NL bingo card
Not soon enough😊
You know what, I followed his sage advice, took 9 sneaky strikes and 5 acrobatics, and had the best goddamn game of my life.
thought this said "I like my snikes streaky bro"
NL getting Tungsten + Torii and then trying desperately for the next 20 minutes to block 3x5 attacks made me lose my mind
Damage scary ouchies
Block safe mmhhm
NL's risk aversion to ever attacking the spikers even when there is no risk of taking damage is reason to watch.
Every time 😂

i like how he had realised he has torii and tungsten rod previously but then somehow forgot.

Bazaar needs to burn. My guy is getting great views on it tho so don’t blame him. But fuck bazaar I need my fix bro!
The withdrawal is arguably worse.
Northernlion sir, the spire has yet to be slain please get back to work.

I’m purposefully choosing to remain ignorant of bazaar gameplay the comments always look like suffering beyond measure
Bazaar is a lot of fun
@ couldnt afford to risk it during finals season….
@@mrrp405wish I’d been that smart two weeks ago lmao
He took acrobatics it’s a new day.
the world is healing
and skipped terror+ to add 3rd sneaky strike
He did pronounce this one to be his discard deck so it fits his archtype valuation of cards
@@scoons123 true but consider all the times he ran the same build and didnt consider it for even a second
The Isaac reference at 21:04 activated my sleeper cell protocol
He got me giggling like a little kid
interaction of tungsten rod and torii is too complicated for him, apparently
But he acknowledged that interaction at 21:40 but forgot it for the rest of the run, somehow
The funniest part is that there's like an 80% chance he's looking away from the screen every time that specific interaction is resolving on screen
yeah... like these 5x3 attacks and he puts up block every freakin time 😀
that combo was working its ass off and he was still blocking on hits and multi-attacks that were

See alchemize in the thumbnail, I’m all in on him taking sozu again.
One of the plays 2024
Taking sozu after alchemize is one thing; he took alchemize after sozu

Not taking terror, especially when it's upgraded, hurts me a lot. And then he takes an unupgraded one.......
21:55 Nah, unupgraded is better
yeah two terrors are so good, theres so many bosses who heal or get rid of their debuffs. even the awoken one has the 2nd life 2 terrors is meta especially a free one.
Taking a third sneaky strike instead... that's madness. And yet, the final total of four sneaky strikes came close to working, so what do I know.
39:15
listening to this while looking at the Torii Tungsten Rod combo is comedy gold 😂
i was dying laughing when he said it, the run is insanely good and he's piloting it nearly into the toilet at like.. every other turn
rod+tori - probably one of the best relic-combos in the game

We're StS and Bazaar guys, of course we paint our Shivs red... but we don't use paint

it really is the second time you try to add a card with a full hand that gets you
its over he won't ever understand the interaction torii and tungsten rod

Skipping upgraded Terror and removing a strike instead of upgrading all strikes and defends is legit unhinged behavior. He played a shitload of unupgraded strikes and defends after making that choice and every one of them should have been more effective
upgrading the strike/defends and drinking the +4 strength pot would have actually won him the fight im pretty sure
34:03 We're Discard guys, of course we howl at the moon and sleep in the middle of a summer afternoon.
If you read thos nl. Tungsten rod + tori is one of the best combos in the game it turns any 5 damage or lower into 0 damage its crazy.
An oasis of pure potable sts water in the middle of a bazaar desert. Slurp slurp. More please!
tori tungsten smooth rock is disgusting, sweet run

Absolutly zero recognition of the S teir synergy of tungsten rod and torii leading to terrible terrible plays
every single youtuber I watch has just devolved to only bazaarposting. I'm so excited for this fucking game. but also 'm glad that sts is still going
We're slay the spire guys, of course we don't buy and sell
i literally screamed when he tossed the fairy in a bottle
“I don’t want to play with you anymore” energy
if you're talking about 18:14 tossing the fairy in a bottle there is completely fine, and imo the right play.

ok, even after realizing he has the combo, he doesn't play around it at all.

Proud of you, son
yayyyy my day is made by this video
HE'S BACK
the spikers are our greatest enemy
Snek-o eye for the straight guy
alchemize more like alzheimize - dude forgot about torii + tungsten almost immediately
