Seriously dude, this…this…is concerning. And extremely impressive! Like how are you not one of the most well-known D2 content creator? I loved this deep dive! I am a Controller in RL, so that statistical analysis hit me right in the guts. It’s amazing! Keep up the amazing work and you will get where you already deserve to be!
I clicked expecting the age old “at this tier, this gun takes an extra bullet” but wow you’ve blown my mind with how complex resilience really is and how you were able to put it into comprehensible numbers. Very well done, thank you!
Couldn’t you just go off the damage reduction and essentially “add it” as health. DR is essentially extra HP. Example if you had 200hp and you were in a rift that reduced damage by 15% you essentially have an extra 30hp.
The quality of this video, from your demeanor, the cadence of your speech, the visual presentation/facts, to your brevity of wit, should be the standard among content creators. Job well done, absolutely subscribing and looking forward to more!
holy crap dude did you take like 2 weeks of vacation to test all this?? This is NUTS. THANK YOU. Now I’m super interested in running a 7 resil heart of inmost build
Heart of Inmost is one of the best titan exotics. Seriously underrated. My favorite chest exotic for titan. Works great with stasis and travelers chosen
After the most recent intellect stat video I'm jumping down the rabbit hole. I am still enjoying these break downs and wanted you to know these are so extremely helpful! I'll be sure to continue down said rabbit hole because so far I've only found treasures. Thanks again, So glad the original was linked by another content creator, I love that you all appreciate one anothers work.
regarding the "floating arithmetic" thing: there are 2 basic types of numbers in c++ programming - integers and floats. integers are whole numbers only. floats are floating point numbers which can have decimal places, but there is a limit to how many digits can be stored, so an 8-bit float is always contained within 8 bits but can be more or less any number you can think of. the decimals are not actually real, they are decimal numbers but they are also fractions with exponents, which means there is a limit to how many decimal places are actually recorded but any number with any decimals are possible and when you do math on these numbers sometimes extra digits far to the right of the decimal point get left behind. this means sometimes you end up with a number like 16.00000000000001
I was trying to decide between 8, 9, and 10 on my Titan but this video solidly pushed me to settle on 9 for competitive play. Also, you’ve quickly became my favorite Destiny channel. I LOVE how in-depth you go. Keep up the great work, man. It’s greatly appreciated.
This info is literally going to be useful for years and easy to reference or replicate by the community for future use, literally ground breaking, I'm bumping my resilience up to 7 for sure, since I play warlock too this info combined with fighting in and out of my rifts with stag are going to help me drastically, definetly recommending to my friends looking to improve at pvp!
Excellent video. Special mention for my Titan boys out there. 9 Res let’s you drop a barricade before a previously placed barricade runs out, so you can effectively have a barricade up forever barring outside interference. However, if you run 7 Res and 2 utility kickstart mods you can do the same thing, while saving 20 stat points for other stats. So, throw out a wild barricade, you’ll force people to push you or waste utility to get you to move, and if they opt to wait you out your gonna waste a lot of their time.
@@DaviiTheCommenter Titan class mods are super ez now. Major recov mod, 2 utility mods, High-energy fire for a satisfying 4,1,1,4 energy split. love it.
That's a sub from me, chief. Knowing "what" works the best is great, but knowing "why" is always the best. Big thanks to you and everyone you consulted to get these results!
God dauuuumn Castle. Great job, i think the D2 community should be really proud to have you on board. I was always running 10 resil on every character because the math for me is simple. If it gives you more health, go for it. Now i will definitely be switching that up to around.
This video just earned you a new subscriber. As an engineer numbers and statistical breakdowns are exactly the type of thing I like and this video did an excellent job of breaking everything down and even providing different ranking depending on the scenario. Excellent work.
You won yourself a sub, your work here is amazing and is exactly what I was looking for. I love theorycraft and statistical analysis in videogames and holy shit you even did an analysis considering the average accuracy and I never thought I would find someone to actually do that ! I will share this video and your channel as much as I can, you deserve (lemme check how many ppl play destiny real quick) 1,118,036 subs dude
Wow. One of the most comprehensive and useful data analyses for crucible that I've seen in ages. Amazing work Castle Content. I've been running 20 Resilience for awhile, now I'd need to find out exactly what weapons (and accuracy %'s) would be affected were I to move up to 30. The resilience breakpoint for 120 HC's you cited is a great example of how significant these breakpoints can be. On the other hand, losing Mobility/Recovery/etc so that one smg archetype requires 9 crits+3 body instead of 8 crits+4 body is probably not worthwhile. Keep up the fantastic work!
To be honest i have been running 7 resilience for the last month and to be straight up it feels awesome, I have been surviving more often because of the whole average accuracy %'s and TTK shifts for archetypes it seems to throw people off when they gotta hit you with an extra bullet or 2.
I run 7 on my Warlock and 9 on my Titan. I don't use my Hunter that often. Bungie should make it that stats with numbers ending in a 5 through 9 aren't wasted. For example a Resilience of 79 is pointless unless you Masterwork a piece of armor to make it 81. 75 should proc a tier 7.5, placing it in the middle between 7 and 8. I can't count how many times I've had 59, 69 or even 79 in a Stat and it makes no difference between the same tier ending with a number of 0. The upper half of tiers should function as a stopgap between the current and next one up.
@@RoadRunner592 i totally agree i have posted pretty much the same words online hopping Bungie will see them and actually make say a 68 stat actually mean more than a 67.
This kind of testbed is exactly what the remainder of the community needs in order to exhaustively power through all of the Rampage/KillClip/DamageBuff calculations, based on a solid logical foundation. Really really well done content here, have to subscribe to something so well thought out and well presented.
@@rosemorningstar5368 Stats are split between the top 3 and bottom 3 (a 64 piece will typically allocate 32 top, 32 bottom). Taking an additional tier in Resilience would only impact Mobility and Recovery.
Absolute unit of a content creator! Currently running 2 resil because I’m a Thorn/Shotty hoppy boy main and my brain only know two things… more jump and more dodge!
Love your regular vids. This one goes a cut above with the amount of back end work it took. Im a hunter main and the grand majority of my builds are running like 2-3 resil (costs of running 100 mobility and a 100 recov). As there isn't a meta TTK advantage (outside of maybe Thorn), that resil has served me well. Resil as a stat is kind of in an awkward state especially for hunters because of the top 3 stats ad their class ability interactions. Recovery is far and away the most important stat to most players. Titans will want to focus Recov and then Resil. Warlock are in the same boat. But hunters basically have to run high mobility and recov so their resil suffers.
In PVE I don't really notice the difference between 3 and 5 resilience, especially with 2 concussive dampeners and passive guard. Passive guard should be a regular fucking mod and not a seasonal mod. And it most certainly shouldn't cost 6 energy lol
@@vaughnbooker3463 in PvE resil is basically negligible IMO. The differences in like 10 health don't matter much when the ads do like 100 damage a shot.
Dude seriously I hope you get tons of views/clicks/revenue from this video! This is hands down the best and most useful video I have ever seen regarding Destiny PVP, and you did all that hard work for the good of community. It is much appreciated!!!
Your channel is so underrated bro idk how this vid or vids like it don’t have like 100k+ likes with how prominent PVP is. This vids have definitely helped my game
So the TL;DR of Resilience HP numbers is: T0 = 185 T1-T5 = +1 HP per tier (T5 = 190) T6-10 = +2 HP per tier (T10 = 200) Finally some high confidence information on how the numbers actually work. Now that we know it is exact numbers (with the floating point precision caveat), it's actually a kinda clean calculation.
I’m surprised about the 200 health at T10. For the LONGEST time everyone thought it was 201. The lack of a floating .1 makes me wonder if he was able to calculate out T10 resilience or if there’s less information on it and he had to guesstimate
@@Lolbsterbiscuit The 200 may be from Chris Proctor's comments on the Firing Range podcast. I don't have Castle's dataset, so I wouldn't be able to say one way or the other. As for the floating point issue, there is one particular spot where I suspect the precision is a problem: When the individual damage ticks we're working with are not "nice" numbers, there is a chance of cumulative precision decreasing, resulting in the observations Castle spotted at all of the resilience levels. "Nice" numbers being numbers that can be represented EXACTLY by floating points. By this, I mean that the number must be a value that is would be an integer at some point if you multiply it by some power of two. e.g. 14.25 (AR body shot) is a "nice" because it has an exact representation (e.g. if you move the floating point two bits to the right (multiply by 4) you have the integer 57) If there are any test cases that rely on using precision damage multipliers to get exact values, I suspect those will introduce the precision errors we see here.
I never comment on videos, I dont usually like videos..... But this video I had to do all of that. This is the greatest destiny video on "what to run". Way better than some content creators. Super underrated channel. Amazing video!
You legit just became one of my favorite streamers for Destiny. I never leave comments but the quality of your statistical analysis was so much better than most of the stuff I see popular streamers put out there. I appreciate this
My favorite part about this video is the fact that I don’t have to sit in private match and flick my reticle off of someone over and over again with a rapid fire pulse
Castle this is an INCREDIBLE video and you've looked at this with immense depth compared to what I expected. However I feel like something's missing. The graphs only care about how often an extra bullet is needed to kill, but I think there's one more factor to account for: The actual TTK. Because "at this tier, the meta weapons will take another bullet to kill you" is great, but we really don't know how much time "another bullet" buys us. That could mean anywhere from 1/12th of a second (720rpm) to half a second (120rpm)
Castle, this was a great video, I get much insight from all of them, but this has been a learning curve for me trying to find the sweet spot in resilience. Now I know why at 10 res I was discouraged and felt like I died quicker than w 6 res and never stair stepped at 7, 8 and 9 to see results. Thanks again for the effort and insight, you and Pattycakes help keep me pushing for better results and enduring ass kicking after ass kicking.
I find this interesting. I have always used 6 because I have known it was the best option but I’m almost tempted to bump up to 7 so I can survive non perfect aim shots
Pretty much confirmed what I already believed. 7 resilience is going to save you from some outlier cheese loadouts too. It was interesting to see 10 resilience rated that high with the accuracy information. I hope your channel grows, I actually really enjoy the long breakdowns.
Absolutely fantastic vid. Made me rethink a lot of my PvP loadouts, and improved my gameplay a bunch. You're one of the most insightful channels out there.
"If you decide to subscribe" That right there made me sub, as well as the extremely helpful content of this video. Not "don't forget to like and sub" Not "if would really help the channel if you etc etc" Nice guy, great content, I'll be watching more, cheers Castle 👍
Im a warlock main and i run a transversive steps build with 5 mobility (transversive makes it a 7), 8 resiliance, 8 recovery and 8 intellect. Those are my four go to stats for PvP. I always thought 5 resiliance is enough for me, but i slightly changed my mind when ive seen how many shots it needs for someone to kill you when you got 10 resiliance. So now im stuck with a triple 8 build its perfect. Thats my magical number now i guess.
@@Failure961 love ur name one eye is my platform name and true but for titan it’s always max for peak class ability spam I rock icefall so I need it as much as possible and to overall be as tanky as possible too
@@Failure961 I have 100 intellect and recovery it feels amazing but for icefall 100 recove and resilience you feel like a literally raid boss it may not be effective but it’s super fun especially with heir apperent and bubble you’ll never not have some kind of shield at all times including when in super
@@SepticEmpire you should give it a whirl with stasis and this one fragement that gives you bonus resistance when standing near a crystal. I think someone made a video on that. *That* makes you feel like a raidboss
You can play around low resilience. Empowering rift + sniper = body shot kills. Or just pulse/scout rifle and maintain distance. Or go ape with a chaperone. Not a lot survives Shatterdive either. Resilience is overrated, if you make good plays you will have the advantage anyway so an extra shot isn't going to matter too much. Competitive pvp is largely about team shooting anyway.
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers already I subbed and like the video just because of the sheer amount of data entry and information that you provided I've always wondered this but never put in the time and the effort to figure it out you sir are legend
Been running 70 as my resil for probably 2 seasons now because it just seemed more consistant. The number of times I've gotten away with a sliver of health is quite high. I get into arguments with clanmates about it sometimes. Happy to have data to back it up. Thanks a bunch, keep it up. Now I kinda want to play around with 9 resil in trials and sacrifice a bit of discipline. Subscribed
The shrewdness of the analysis and the effort involved is astounding. I've always wondered about doing some tests like this, but i certainly dont have the programming skills to analyse 300m tests lol. Just subscribed. Keep up the amazing work and content!
This is one of the best analytical and informative videos I have ever seen. Appreciate the work! Please do a updated version with the resilience changes
Man bravo on the work and time u put into this! There isnt another video like it! Lots talk about resilience but none I've seen have broken it down like u have to both 100% and average aim %. This is huge and deserves alot of credit not to mention how helpful this really is!
Wildly informative video. Great work! I've watched 3-4 of your videos now and they have all been very impressive. You deserve far more recognition. I've subbed and am excited to see what else you'll produce.
As someone who would love to be better in pvp, this type of information is really valuable. I still need to move better and know the maps... But, understanding how to properly set up gear is a giant part of being prepared.
I literally just respecced my Titan to 7 resilience yesterday, and then I found this... Anxious to try it out. Great work. I've never watched you before but I'll be subbing now.
@@CastleContent I actually did watch your history of thorn and last word videos today and i thought those were interesting and really well done seeing how I tried very hard to avoid pvp in d1
I posted this on the Destiny 2 discord after watching this, been trying to figure this out forever and just came across this video by accident. Great video, I liked and subbed.
great video! :) I loved the use of graphs to assess what would fit the player base and their individual needs. Really awesome dude. An effort like this isn't seen too often in videos like these hehe.
So to summery. Over all best caps for Resilience are T3, T6 and T9. T3 if you want to roll lower resil for higher others, T6 being the best over all for stat balancing and T9 if you just don't care about other stats.
Dude your lightning nade lineups are insane, I can never get mine to face the right direction. Absolutely amazing information btw, definitely going to consider bumping my resistance up above tier 3 now lol
From what I’ve understood you can still get one tapped by snipers and shotguns with 10 resilience and anything below 6 will get you 2 tapped by 120’s (that may have changed) but I personally do a lot of solo stuff in pve and the ability to take slightly more damage is really useful for being able to stick your neck out longer. I currently run tier 7 resilience and it works very well for me and my play style.
that sounds like you are really low light level if a 120 is 2 tapping you or a buff (which at that point not really a factor to consider cause most of the time you can't or have to run really high res to counter it) and sniper assuming you mean body shot not head shot cause i mean its a sniper.... its going to 1 tap you in the head if you are not in a super or really really far away.
120s two tap w/ high damage buffs. (Kill clip, high energy fire) but i totally agree 7 resil is huge in high level pve. Think 7 with a sniper resist helps you tank snipes in gms
I was just having a conversation about resilience with some of my D2 friends the other day. Thank you for the helpful guide, my dude! Keep up the awesome content!
Finally, TH-cam has brought me a video I enjoyed watching, with very useful information that I soaked up like a sponge. I hope you have success with your channel…you deserve it brother! Thank you for this video!

My favorite part about this video is the fact that I don’t have to sit in private match and flick my reticle off of someone over and over again with a rapid fire pulse
LMAO
Castle this is an INCREDIBLE video and you've looked at this with immense depth compared to what I expected. However I feel like something's missing. The graphs only care about how often an extra bullet is needed to kill, but I think there's one more factor to account for: The actual TTK. Because "at this tier, the meta weapons will take another bullet to kill you" is great, but we really don't know how much time "another bullet" buys us. That could mean anywhere from 1/12th of a second (720rpm) to half a second (120rpm)
Oh look, finally a video that deserves my upvote and a comment...just commenting to help with the TH-cam algorithm registration of viewer engagement.
Castle, this was a great video, I get much insight from all of them, but this has been a learning curve for me trying to find the sweet spot in resilience. Now I know why at 10 res I was discouraged and felt like I died quicker than w 6 res and never stair stepped at 7, 8 and 9 to see results. Thanks again for the effort and insight, you and Pattycakes help keep me pushing for better results and enduring ass kicking after ass kicking.
I find this interesting. I have always used 6 because I have known it was the best option but I’m almost tempted to bump up to 7 so I can survive non perfect aim shots
Throwing in the accuracy was brilliant, I loved seeing a visual graph comparing 100% to realistic average! Amazing work
Pretty much confirmed what I already believed. 7 resilience is going to save you from some outlier cheese loadouts too.
It was interesting to see 10 resilience rated that high with the accuracy information.
I hope your channel grows, I actually really enjoy the long breakdowns.
Absolutely fantastic vid. Made me rethink a lot of my PvP loadouts, and improved my gameplay a bunch. You're one of the most insightful channels out there.
Thank you!!
You don’t meet more health if you’re killing everyone first
You saved me in pvp once again. Goodness can't express how much your channel helped me. it's a very long story too
🍻
"If you decide to subscribe"
That right there made me sub, as well as the extremely helpful content of this video.
Not "don't forget to like and sub"
Not "if would really help the channel if you etc etc"
Nice guy, great content, I'll be watching more, cheers Castle 👍
You're a wizard Harry... Seriously, thank you to you and your team.
Im a warlock main and i run a transversive steps build with 5 mobility (transversive makes it a 7), 8 resiliance, 8 recovery and 8 intellect. Those are my four go to stats for PvP.
I always thought 5 resiliance is enough for me, but i slightly changed my mind when ive seen how many shots it needs for someone to kill you when you got 10 resiliance. So now im stuck with a triple 8 build its perfect. Thats my magical number now i guess.
I love applying pressure and drawing fire as a Titan so I run max recov and resil, that barricade every 18 seconds is extremely nice and useful.
As a titan main resilience doesn’t matter cuz it’s always maxed out
having 100 is nice but 70/80/90 make the biggest difference overall so I wouldnt recommend over 90
@@Failure961 love ur name one eye is my platform name and true but for titan it’s always max for peak class ability spam I rock icefall so I need it as much as possible and to overall be as tanky as possible too
@@SepticEmpire haha thanks, its league champion related. Okay yea if youre using icefall alot it makes sense for the cooldown, youre right
@@Failure961 I have 100 intellect and recovery it feels amazing but for icefall 100 recove and resilience you feel like a literally raid boss it may not be effective but it’s super fun especially with heir apperent and bubble you’ll never not have some kind of shield at all times including when in super
@@SepticEmpire you should give it a whirl with stasis and this one fragement that gives you bonus resistance when standing near a crystal. I think someone made a video on that. *That* makes you feel like a raidboss
This is the greatest Resilience video I've come across. It's very in depth, but also simplified. Thank you for your hard work.
Very high quality video, thank you for collating this information, must have taken ages
For some reason for me it doesn't matter how high my resilience is, I still get one-shotted in PvP.😐
Same goes for recovery.
You can play around low resilience. Empowering rift + sniper = body shot kills. Or just pulse/scout rifle and maintain distance. Or go ape with a chaperone. Not a lot survives Shatterdive either.
Resilience is overrated, if you make good plays you will have the advantage anyway so an extra shot isn't going to matter too much. Competitive pvp is largely about team shooting anyway.
As soon as he was finished explaining that process at 3:20, I had to drop a like for the effort😩
From a data analytics perspective... This is honestly brilliant. Great job accounting for the real world effects of human beings!
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers already I subbed and like the video just because of the sheer amount of data entry and information that you provided I've always wondered this but never put in the time and the effort to figure it out you sir are legend
Been running 70 as my resil for probably 2 seasons now because it just seemed more consistant. The number of times I've gotten away with a sliver of health is quite high. I get into arguments with clanmates about it sometimes. Happy to have data to back it up. Thanks a bunch, keep it up. Now I kinda want to play around with 9 resil in trials and sacrifice a bit of discipline. Subscribed
You deserve this views my guy, this is sacred book that you just made to the pvp community, thank you.
The shrewdness of the analysis and the effort involved is astounding. I've always wondered about doing some tests like this, but i certainly dont have the programming skills to analyse 300m tests lol. Just subscribed. Keep up the amazing work and content!
Haha yeah I’m very lucky to have had a friend help me out
Bro this dedication for your community is amazing 👍🏼
This is one of the best analytical and informative videos I have ever seen. Appreciate the work!
Please do a updated version with the resilience changes
Man bravo on the work and time u put into this! There isnt another video like it! Lots talk about resilience but none I've seen have broken it down like u have to both 100% and average aim %. This is huge and deserves alot of credit not to mention how helpful this really is!
Wildly informative video. Great work! I've watched 3-4 of your videos now and they have all been very impressive. You deserve far more recognition.
I've subbed and am excited to see what else you'll produce.
Much appreciated and welcome aboard!
As someone who would love to be better in pvp, this type of information is really valuable. I still need to move better and know the maps... But, understanding how to properly set up gear is a giant part of being prepared.
I literally just respecced my Titan to 7 resilience yesterday, and then I found this...
Anxious to try it out. Great work. I've never watched you before but I'll be subbing now.
This man deserves more credit for what he did! Also, to all the people who helped him throughout the way thank you so much!!
I am so glad I found this channel, bro your content is amazing, the amount of research you do is incredible!
Thanks James!
As a lazy person who geared for 6 resil previously, I am relieved to hear that it's still a good point. ty.
I cannot believe you did all of this analysis. Well done! I am reevaluating my resilience and will try 6
dude I've never seen a single one of your vids before but this video alone was enough for me to sub. amazing job
Yo thank you Brad! Let me know if you end up enjoying any of my other ones - cheers!
@@CastleContent I actually did watch your history of thorn and last word videos today and i thought those were interesting and really well done seeing how I tried very hard to avoid pvp in d1
I posted this on the Destiny 2 discord after watching this, been trying to figure this out forever and just came across this video by accident. Great video, I liked and subbed.
I run a pseudo quad 100 stat build. 100 Recov, Intellect, Resilience and 50 mobility (with Dragon Shadow) its amazing.
great video! :) I loved the use of graphs to assess what would fit the player base and their individual needs. Really awesome dude. An effort like this isn't seen too often in videos like these hehe.
Thank you!
As a big nerd I love seeing these breakdowns. I already ran 7, but now I feel like I have some validation for my arbitrary res choice.
This. Is. Why. I’m. Subbed. Good shit, brother
I work in revenue data analytics this was impressive how much work you put in
This is a hell of a work dude! Amazing statistical data! You just got a new sub!
This was the most useful d2 video I have ever watched. I have argued with team mates about this forever! Thank you for your time and hard work!
This made me smile. Sometimes questions have to be answered. Thanks for sharing
Such a good channel, you provide so much information and I appreciate it so much. Just shared this video with my group/clan!
So to summery. Over all best caps for Resilience are T3, T6 and T9. T3 if you want to roll lower resil for higher others, T6 being the best over all for stat balancing and T9 if you just don't care about other stats.
Dude your lightning nade lineups are insane, I can never get mine to face the right direction. Absolutely amazing information btw, definitely going to consider bumping my resistance up above tier 3 now lol
Haha yeah they take a lot of practice. I recommend checking my Titan PVP Secrets vid from about a year ago
The effort put into this alone made me like and sub. Keep up the good work mate, I loved the video, gained yourself a new sub
Thanks Travis 🍻
The WORK PUT IN THIS is radiating
Holy cow awesome video
From what I’ve understood you can still get one tapped by snipers and shotguns with 10 resilience and anything below 6 will get you 2 tapped by 120’s (that may have changed) but I personally do a lot of solo stuff in pve and the ability to take slightly more damage is really useful for being able to stick your neck out longer. I currently run tier 7 resilience and it works very well for me and my play style.
that sounds like you are really low light level if a 120 is 2 tapping you or a buff (which at that point not really a factor to consider cause most of the time you can't or have to run really high res to counter it) and sniper assuming you mean body shot not head shot cause i mean its a sniper.... its going to 1 tap you in the head if you are not in a super or really really far away.
120s two tap w/ high damage buffs. (Kill clip, high energy fire) but i totally agree 7 resil is huge in high level pve. Think 7 with a sniper resist helps you tank snipes in gms
This video gives me rogue9 analysis flashbacks from the days i used to play rainbow 6. Good one man
I was just having a conversation about resilience with some of my D2 friends the other day. Thank you for the helpful guide, my dude! Keep up the awesome content!
Yeah dude you earned my subscription by going HAM on this topic, good on you man.
You're a blessing for this community.
I was expecting almost the same info as you found, I've been running 6 for like a year or more. Thank you for all the inshight, numbers and test.
This is some top tier work my guy. Unbelievably helpful information to have
There was so much effort put into this video that I had to sub. Good job!
I saw the video you did with patty on improving in pvp. Your content is great.
Finally, TH-cam has brought me a video I enjoyed watching, with very useful information that I soaked up like a sponge. I hope you have success with your channel…you deserve it brother! Thank you for this video!
Thanks Jacob - let me know if my other vids resonate with you as well; cheers!
Great video, just got a friend to start playing the game and he asked me about how much of each Stat to run and I realized idk shiz about resilience and thanks to you now I do
Nice! Welcome them to the family haha
Glad i could help you Castle with T0,1,2,3 (Rage here btw) great job as always
Haha GG and thanks as always
I gotta say, the whole video is really well written and researched. Well done dude.
This is insane, literal breakthrough. You deserve like an award or something
