The best thing about tallbirds is that even actual tallbirds that raise their own children die by the hands of their own children once they become adults. It is part of their life cycle.

Skyrim is "everything kills you" in the same way all open world RPG games are so that's amusing on multiple levels for me, no offense to him. "Everything wants to kill you" = "there's lots of exp to farm that will throw itself at you" and "everything wants to kill you, except the entire towns full of people and many citizens scattered throughout the land who don't." 😂

@@Lsir DST is short for Don't Starve Together, the multiplayer version of the game remade from the groundup. Only the original Don't Starve and its DLC are purely singleplayer.
I remember one time, my friend was trying to do this, but I was playing Webber, so one of my spiders ate the egg. So, she set the camp on fire. Good times.
That's me getting whiplash from the latest FNaF/challenge channels like TheBones5 or ChickenNinja42. I'm older than both of them, and I was there when FNaF first started.
Fun fact: I actually DID raise a tallbird for its nest. In one of my worlds I have 5 tallbirds for eggs and meat. Also eating the eggs are really good in a crockpot. If you combine one tallbird egg, one carrot, and two twigs you get a dish that heals you for 60 hp and will feed you for 2 days.
Oh my god, this title just brought back memories of a server I play on a lot There was one time where I logged on to someone hatching like 20 tallbird eggs at once, it might have been more even. We all thought it was funny and helped them out with it, but eventually the player doing it said they had to "be right back" and left us with their hoard children for around half an hour I think we had them fight the Eye of Terror for us and not all of them died, somehow
SPIFF DON'T STARVE CONTENT!?! PEAK also 1:30 the tall bird egg can actually be a SUPER helpful food for crock pot recipes since you can make a tall scotch egg which practically is a full health in all stats. i understand what hes saying tho since i think hes playing base dont starve edit: he IS playing dst (thank you comments) so my point stands
Favorite tip for emergency light (especially during winter) is to carry a pitchfork around with you, so if you need more campfire fuel but can't reach any trees, you can dig up the turf around you and feed the fire with that. It's saved my hide multiple times
There's something about Spiff's videos that just tell such amazing stories as they go. Any other video would likely just talk about the main moments and struggles and keep it to like 15 minutes. But Spiff can get us all enthralled in the emotion he's going through, and it leaves a memory greater than any of us could have asked for. A truly beautiful epoch about a helpless survivor, and his little bird child, that none of us will forget any time soon.
honestly i forgot how much I wanted to play dst when I was younger, im watching this while redownloading it on steam since you reminded me of its existence.
Not Fun Fact: Rising Tallbirds was one of the features to be added in the small-ish early updates of regular Don't Starve in its infancy as a full game, and the ability to raise a Tallbird has basically not changed in any meaningful way since the feature's release. To he honest, I kinda wish they did rework it, like any Tallbird you hatch and raise have a lower damage Stat but somewhat higher HP than normal Tallbirds, but only need to eat once every one or two days and don't attack you. Much better outcome for bothering to raise such a stupid bird.
Pro tip, since the tentacles have a negative sanity aura, you can tell if your near them when your sanity starts going down even when you cant see them
I did this all the time when I played this game back in the day. It's the only reason to ever build walls, to protect the little guys from hounds before they grow to be a smallish tall bird.
I've raised like 5 smallbirds in a public server once in the middle of winter, one grew up and two others players decided to kill dfly and I went along, whoever had the panflute didn't use it and they all became cooked morsels.
1:32, if you consistently kill tall birds, then it's more than worth it for two good big meats and tall scotch eggs. It's just that tall birds are too out of the way with their spawn locations so your time would be better spent elsewhere, even if you have a beefalo.
Hearing Spiff tell the story about the mixed up hold/hang up buttons was really funny to me, because I've actually worked for a company that had a very similar problem. Because of the way the phones were set up, pressing the "mute my mic" button on the headset would instantly hang up the call. Clicking the "mute my mic" button in the phone system would work perfectly fine however. Very awkward and confusing the first time I encountered it, but the client called back right away and we didn't have a busy phone line so no real harm was done.
Was not expecting the long dark mention but I agree with that chatter. It's such a cool bur hard game about surviving in the wilderness after crashing and the best part is that you can never really become overpowered
Whoooa a don't starve video! I've been watching a lot of challenge videos recently, so I'm actually so excited that you're making a don't starve video, especially one of the og game!
*Technically* there is SOME reward for doing this. In DST there is a crockpot dish called Tall Scotch Eggs, which require a tallbird egg and 1.0 worth of veggies to cook. This dish restores 150 hunger, 60 health, and 5 sanity, making it an incredibly good dish. When a tallbird you raise grows up, it will attempt to create a nest, because adult tallbirds without nests will try to create one. So by suffering through the process of raising a tallbird, you can create new sources of tallbird eggs, giving you more access to Tall Scotch Eggs. It's not a completely pointless endeavor, its just a mostly pointless one. As someone who has done this with 2 tallbirds at once, don't do it. It's not worth it, and even in a super late game world with practically unlimited resources, it's just not fun having to limit yourself from doing anything fun to keep some dumb bird alive for multiple seasons.
I know it’s ‘Tallbird’ but when I say it’s name or read it in my head it’s ‘Tailbird’ and immediately I know it’s wrong, and I still haven’t been able to say or read ‘Tallbird’ even though I know it’s name is ‘Tallbird’. It ALWAYS comes out ‘Tailbird’ and I dunno how to fix it in my brain. This also happened with Pipspook! I totally missed the p and read it as ‘Pipsook’ and while since then I have learned it’s spook not sook sometimes I still mess it up.
Ur so wrong about the egg being mid, it doesn't ever spoil so you can permanently rack up cold storage food. Sure it can start hatching if you get it too close to the campfire but just stick it in a chest.
1:02:37 thats the wrong message spiff is talking about, the message spiff is talking about is two up. oh well. its literally a two hour video, so mistake are inevitable.
Can confirm: The Long Dark is an incredible survival game. It actually felt like ‘surviving’. And I found the story quite neat. Then again I’m only just starting chapter 4 I think now. There’s also a survival mode which I’m very curious to try out. Fun game, with a lot of really good atmosphere :) I think the art style is super cool and the voice acting is really well-done, so I’d definitely recommend you try it for more reason than just… Canada
Someone said his pc is good, therefore lag compensation doesnt affect the game much but clearly there is a delay between attack animation and also hits registering/delay in his movement to dodge things

I saw a clip of you doing this challenge like a month ago. It actually made me start playing Don't Starve again. I even managed to get a smallbird, then I realized it's useless so I fed it to the hounds. Its really nice to see that people actually care about completely useless mechanics like these. Don't Starve is my most played game on steam and I actually just started getting good at it. I'm really enjoying it at the moment. 😊

Very awkward and confusing the first time I encountered it, but the client called back right away and we didn't have a busy phone line so no real harm was done.
I used to play this game all the time with my friends after school. I'm glad you're giving it the coverage it deserves .
Was not expecting the long dark mention but I agree with that chatter. It's such a cool bur hard game about surviving in the wilderness after crashing and the best part is that you can never really become overpowered
He's preparing for fatherhood irl the only way he knows how.
The real mistake of sleeping through the night was getting back out of the sleeping bag
@@gaming_bigfoot maybe he pressed a key accidentally? Cause otherwise sleeping counters the darkness
@@tonynguyen4603 Nah it was no accident, he paniced when it didn't skip day like in single player and assumed he was in danger
Spiff's finally playing Don't Plink
Whoooa a don't starve video! I've been watching a lot of challenge videos recently, so I'm actually so excited that you're making a don't starve video, especially one of the og game!
Dude i love seeing you brach out into new games. And im happy u have a comunity that lets u do that
If you're interested in doing fun challenge runs in this game you should totally check out the community tournament that's being hosted right now!
*Technically* there is SOME reward for doing this. In DST there is a crockpot dish called Tall Scotch Eggs, which require a tallbird egg and 1.0 worth of veggies to cook. This dish restores 150 hunger, 60 health, and 5 sanity, making it an incredibly good dish.
When a tallbird you raise grows up, it will attempt to create a nest, because adult tallbirds without nests will try to create one. So by suffering through the process of raising a tallbird, you can create new sources of tallbird eggs, giving you more access to Tall Scotch Eggs.
It's not a completely pointless endeavor, its just a mostly pointless one. As someone who has done this with 2 tallbirds at once, don't do it. It's not worth it, and even in a super late game world with practically unlimited resources, it's just not fun having to limit yourself from doing anything fun to keep some dumb bird alive for multiple seasons.
Was NOT anticipating DST content, but thanks for introducing more people to the game! Idk if you can tell by my Wilson icon but I'm a big fan haha
I loved when astralstarve played dont spiff
"have you ever heard of the bog monster?" - W
been getting back into dont starve lately and this video went to my feed, you timing couldnt get any better spiff thank you!!!
*This video once again alternates between property destruction and Spigg treating the enemies like pets*
"I'm old now at 24" Never has Spiff sounded more relatable before xD
this guy posting is actually the only reason i remember time is moving, thanks for the reminder
36:15 Paused the video here and saw “Spird 1” 😂
love the videos with lots of VOs, feel like it adds so much when you explain whats going on and it feels really fleshed out. Great video!
Don't starve together?
Just eat alone!
Webber mains:
The tall bird forgetting who you are makes me really sad. :(
i just started playing dont starve about a week ago and see this. legendary
Astralspiff making a don’t starve video was a surprise to be sure. But certainly a welcome one!
32:15 ✋ that’s me, and I keep having trauma flashbacks from the DST damage noise and getfixedboi legendary mode.
So THATS where I've heard the sound before
Never played ds or dst, I do play terraria and watch waffletime be better than me at terraria
YOOO dont starve is such a fun game love that u made a vid on it
we are getting closer and closer to the spiff terraria gaming
I have waited years for such a collaboration
Spiff and don't starve
I can die happy now
I know it’s ‘Tallbird’ but when I say it’s name or read it in my head it’s ‘Tailbird’ and immediately I know it’s wrong, and I still haven’t been able to say or read ‘Tallbird’ even though I know it’s name is ‘Tallbird’. It ALWAYS comes out ‘Tailbird’ and I dunno how to fix it in my brain.
This also happened with Pipspook! I totally missed the p and read it as ‘Pipsook’ and while since then I have learned it’s spook not sook sometimes I still mess it up.
Pipsook is too real, I do that too
"My original plan was to let Soup kill me, as a sign of ultimate love as a parent" Spiff thinks he's Freya from God of War 2018
I NEVER NEW SPIFF PLAYED DS / DST, HES ACTULLY THE GOAT
He got the flower crown joke in Minecraft with ton of horror mods video
@@konstralit2105 Yeah, i guess. But still
5:19 I can confirm my cousin Gerald is a don't starve veteran
Ur so wrong about the egg being mid, it doesn't ever spoil so you can permanently rack up cold storage food. Sure it can start hatching if you get it too close to the campfire but just stick it in a chest.
Spiff's Tall Bird Conservation Efforts are Admireable.
1:02:37 thats the wrong message spiff is talking about, the message spiff is talking about is two up. oh well. its literally a two hour video, so mistake are inevitable.
I know this video came out like yesterday, but I would love to see more don’t starve shenanigans from you
This game is one of my favourites
Can confirm: The Long Dark is an incredible survival game. It actually felt like ‘surviving’. And I found the story quite neat. Then again I’m only just starting chapter 4 I think now.
There’s also a survival mode which I’m very curious to try out.
Fun game, with a lot of really good atmosphere :)
I think the art style is super cool and the voice acting is really well-done, so I’d definitely recommend you try it
for more reason than just… Canada
Praying Spiff gets into the kingdom hearts series next and does all the secret bosses at level 1.
honestly would love to just watch spiff play don’t starve
HECK YEAH!!! this is one of my hyperfixations so im really happy to see more content of it- PLUS ITS SPIFF >:)
2:02:13 soup has growned up and abandoned....but he never will abandon our hearts
2:03:36 also i think this is something he forgot or smth but its very nice
2:03:36 nice
44:50 Wait a minute, that's illegal
seeing the chat either judge spiff for his old man don't starve ways, or completely misleading him is absolutely beautiful 😂
32:05 bro completely forgot about trapping a bird and feeding it for seeds
Soup will forever be remembered in the pages of Spiff's Memorable Characters book. Right up there with Hotdog Plink and Toilet Bonnie.
Someone said his pc is good, therefore lag compensation doesnt affect the game much but clearly there is a delay between attack animation and also hits registering/delay in his movement to dodge things
Soup just walking back to eat the penguin eggs was great
Tallbirds are not useless at all if u have enough of them you can make some really cool farms
the long dark can be PUNISHING on the hardest difficulty right now there was an update for a new difficulty called agony. i think it explains itself
Spiff, I LOVE spiff, astralspiff, I LOVE ASTRALSPIFF.
Spiff
1:10:08 I have never seen Spiff rage before so seeing this was such a strange experience lol
Everything kills you within the game while slowly killing you irl by wasting your life
Yeah it’s awesome
cant wait for the sequel where spiff takes the first egg soup lays and tries to raise a soup jr
I love this game I’m just disabled and visually impaired so playing one life is really hard for me
Im sure there are mods that can help that!! :p
Play Endless Mode, or get a _really_ caring and dedicated friend to help carry Lol
@@2008-wii-remoteunfortunately I play on unmodded switch but I’m glad they exist for pc users
@@The-Determined-Ninjathanks for the advice! I’ll try that out next time I play
@@n_art_cissist No problem! Maybe at some point you'll get so good you won't even need it - !
You probably _could_ just need some extra practice compared to the average player is all ✧ദ്ദി(｡•̀ᴗ-)
I saw a clip of you doing this challenge like a month ago. It actually made me start playing Don't Starve again. I even managed to get a smallbird, then I realized it's useless so I fed it to the hounds. Its really nice to see that people actually care about completely useless mechanics like these. Don't Starve is my most played game on steam and I actually just started getting good at it. I'm really enjoying it at the moment. 😊
