Holy shit dude. I suffer from extreme depression anxiety/agoraphobia, where I'm basically bed ridden. I also have very bad absomnia (currently its 3:00am) Putting this on and laying in my bed, with the music playing in the background, to your calm, relaxed talking. It's making me feel calm and relaxed. I don't get to say that, that often. Thank you.
Fell asleep listening to Dark Souls videos, and your video popped up in my queue mid-slumber. You saved dream me from several murderous monsters and became my best friend. In memory of dream you, subscribed.
Thought I’d add onto the GRRM discussion. For most of us, the annoyance isn’t with Game of Thrones the show - he didn’t write the ending, and most of the disaster came from poor choices from D&D - But from the fact he seems to constantly take more and more projects. We are still missing the last two books of A song and Ice and Fire, and the more obligations he makes to write for videogames and edit for wildcards and so on will only slow the release further to a crawl (at least in the eyes of many of us)
Also the obnoxious restrictions he insists on, that delay the books even further. Like writing long portions that could have easily been timeskips. Or writing on a computer from the goddamn soviet era. "I don't like how modern computers auto-correct." Bruh, you can turn off auto-correct. Get your shit together.
He doesn't care anymore. He announced the death of his brother on Twitter and the first several replies were along the lines of "stfu, get over it, finish the damn books". Disgusting. He's fucking with you all because he noticed that his core audience don't care about him, but rather the story they pathetically live vicariously through. Besides, those books stink. Read Wheel of Time; less flaccid cock and more engaging plot.
@@CheshireCad congratulations you're a member of his toxic community, I hope you're proud of your non-accomplishments as a raging consumer of milquetoast fantasy.
I am continued to be impressed by your ability to not only create tough-ass challenges in a tough-ass game but your ability and knowledge of the game. Love your videos bro, you inspire me.
Hey there SquillaKilla, Periodically I will come back and watch more of your challenge runs. I’ve enjoyed all the ones I’ve seen. (sadly I haven’t seen too many) I like your idea of playing the game to have fun, and not for the recognition. Keep it up! On another note, I have avoided doing ANY form of hardcore or challenge run but I just started trying out Remnant from the Ashes in Hardcore mode. As much as I ABSOLUTELY HATE losing characters due to permadeath, I’ve come to realize that the challenge can also be enjoyable. I feel like I’m learning boss mechanics and dodge timing more than in standard mode. You’re videos are part of what helped me decide to try it out (aside from the items you can earn in hardcore mode that can be used on any character!) Anyways, thx again for all your videos
@@bloodangel19 You never played this game blind, have you? Don't say it's easy when you didn't discover how to play it properly yourself. Capra demon's RNG can fuck you up more than 5 times, so you must have known about the depths skip. It's difficult you just watched and emulated veteran players. On my first playthrough I got to the final bonfire in the catacombs before being greeted by a golden sealed wall.

@@jackasspeanut1 you missed my point. Im saying that i played the game before, took a long break, came back and i still have it in me to beat it with relative ease
@@bloodangel19 you claimed it was easy after playing it 1.8 times. It's probably better said you found it easy because you didn't learn the game yourself and Google searched and watched videos through any difficulty you ever encountered. It took me years to get this game down enough where I could get to nor O&S fight in a couple hours without glitches. You ever choose any of the other starting gifts? Or did you choose master key every time?
Beautiful run squilla, perfectly chill music selection btw, been tryin to sleep to it yet with how stressed I’ve been I cant pass out. Plus I’m so enthralled by how effective you are at communicating and playing i just cant look away. Also when the first teaser trailer for eldenring was released my homie called the whole plot just from watching it. When I played the game to completion on drop week I was astonished that he was absolutely correct!
It's kind of surreal sitting here watching you talk about Elden ring, the day before Eldon ring comes out, and although by the looks of it, the game is awesome, I completely concur with your sentiments on the subject, and getting overhyped for anything in general, especially something that is not yet tangible. Great run and great video, you are an absolute Savage
Personally I live for the hype more than the game. The game can be good or complete trash, doesn't matter as it is likely I'll only play it for a couple weeks either way, it's the serotonin rush I get from hyping up a game that I love.
Okay so this VOD is crazy old in terms of YT but his calm voice really sounds good when I'm drunk af and just need background noise while I do my own thing
Wow, I knew that speed runners and challenge runners were built different, but there's even a life lesson at 4:46. That is genuinely good life advice that I did not expect from a random challenge speed run in my recommended 😂 Your channel seems cool though, I think I'll be sticking around ✌🏻
I always thought about how difficult these runs are and the hardest I could come up with is only using emotes for movement. I guess thats more stupid and tedious than difficult but its fun to attempt at certain points throughout my normal playthroughs lol
You're a wise man, my dude. Keep speaking your truth! You actually gave me a few good laughs while I was ~90% asleep last night while watching this haha. ☮💖

This sounds like a fun challenge run. I think I might give this a go on my NG+4 run. Because the character already has the symbol of avarice. I can just wear it to start
