I remember reading an article pointing out that getting stronger as you play a game contradicts the intended difficulty curve, and that it would make more sense to get weaker as a game progresses. Now I can point to this video to explain why that doesn't happen.
Yea, what RivLabs said, most games let you get stronger while also throwing enemies that are ever harder proportionally at you as the game goes on. Kind of reads like someone either desperately needed an article or never actually played games that let you get stronger over time. So...no RPGs, no Metroidvanias, none of the modern-ish open world games, no tower defense games, or colony building games... basically nothing* aside from maybe some platformers or puzzle games since some level of progression is close to universal in games. Why on earth are they writing about games if they apparently know barely anything about them (or their knowledge is limited to an extremely narrow niche of games)? That sounds like Dunning Kruger personified. *I suspect that aside from it being satisfying to level up, it also sometimes involves different mechanics and options and introducing those slowly means not throwing the player in the deep end.
@@ja-melvinson7994 They're wrong about getting stronger contradicting the diffifulty curve, but a game where enemies stay at the same level but you get weaker could definitely be done and might even be interesting
I honestly didn’t realize Skurry hadn’t done a curse rando yet. I guess I’d seen so many of Fire’s curse randos that I just assumed Skurry must have done one also.
@comet1812 i am glad to inform you that your pfp is going into an archive of all oneshot pfps i find on youtube, where they can remain safe for eternity
The dreamer progression chain was the most insane thing ever I think that Skurry didn't mention this in the vid, but they accidentally left duplicates off so the sporeshroom was required to finish the rando, and it was like the most expensive grubfather item, and a lot of the grubs required different items... And it's always fun to watch these videos after the vods :) P.s. I don't know what was more insane: two subsequent kingsoul fragments, the fact that 2 dreamers required sporeshroom, the 2 "complaining strats" working subsequently, or the fact that void heart was at world sense... This Rando sure was something
I know right, and also the fact that skurry wouldn't have gone back to grubfather for a while except a few people in chat noticed whilst they were hovering over the pickup in the map 😅 and the gamba were amazing, especially ??? or ??? getting a perfect 50/50 (thx cozy)
Every night I play one of your streams to help me sleep. I just like that you don’t scream or get angry like other streamers. That, and something about the occasional hollow knight noises just keeps me from thinking much and just lulls me to sleep. Thank u Skurry.❤ I have a pretty rough work schedule so sleeping on time ain’t easy @_@
I feel like this mode doesn't work without some way to remove curses in a batch. Like, perhaps, all curses could be removed each Dreamer you collect. Or perhaps there could be a shop that individually removes curses for a price (Though that of course I recognize would be much more difficult to make).
i feel like no duplicates setting almost always leads to a crazy and interesting progression.. not saying you should always do it, but it does seem to be the case, having the examples of this rando and the hjnyer's journal rando, these two were definitely one of the most fun ones
Hello Skurry, your videos and some other TH-camrs from Hollow Khight have inspired me to make these types of videos but in Spanish, something that few people did, that's why I wanted to tell you that I really like these videos and thank you.
I'd like to see a rando where all items are shuffled, it says you got an item, while you got a different one, and you don't know, even if you opened up inventory it would say you got the fake item, the only way to know is to mess around. Mixed with other settings it would be chaos.
I actually just locked in after hearing unstoppable force, playing ultrakill has changed me as a person and I can never hear some banger music the same again without thinking "+ULTRARICOSHOT +PARRY +DISRESPECT +PROJECTILE BOOST +QUICK DRAW +MINCED"
Baldurs shell is pretty good against radiance when you don't have shade dash, because it doesn't cost you a full soul bar to block the fullscreen lasers with Baldurs as opposed to Dive.
I remember Skurry said "there's something worse than soul refill", when they added "1 geo" pickup, and "something worse than 1 geo" when "nothing" pickup was added. So now is the end of this saga
You could make a drinking game out of this: every time he gets an Item everybody has to guess if it’s real or not, if they are wrong they have to drink 2 sips and if not only one
I remember reading an article pointing out that getting stronger as you play a game contradicts the intended difficulty curve, and that it would make more sense to get weaker as a game progresses. Now I can point to this video to explain why that doesn't happen.
What was that article’s logic because I am EXTREMELY confused on how they think that point makes sense
did... did they just not know that games can get harder as you progress???

Curse of the Dead Gods and The Scythian made it work, but I'm not sure if many games could strike the balance without being punishing.

9:52 not only did cornifer charge 75 geo for 15, he threw it all over the ground for you to pick up.
Corni is really angry cause his maps has gone

0:52 Quirrel knows about the importance of Stranger Danger, he did not see default so he left
As usual Zord's editing is too good to tell what's in the mod and what isn't
Just curious, is the Sheo painting edited or part of the mod? (Sorry if this is a stupid question)
@@Meddulosince neither skurry or chat said anything it's probably made in post
@@ricardojanate Thank you!
@@ricardojanatewhat about the pop ups like 6:42?
@freshstart2567
It's definitely an edit, they've had people do it for them in other randos and it covers part of chat
9:52 This is actually very relatable. Whenever I play randomizer, I always double check to see I’m making a profit when I’m doing purchases like that.
how often are you randomizing
yes@@Sandvichman.
Now I want a setting for the curse rando that always plays the “fool “ voice line from Snatcher from a Hat in time every time you pick up a curse .
and the "FOOL! wait, you again?" line if it's a curse you already had
@@RivLabs sound like a great idea .
*FOOOOOOOOOL!!! HAHAH-oh, it's you...*
Skurry, your randomiser videos are alway a highlight of the day
TOO TRUE
bro be spittin facts
Real shit right here
You spelled randomizer wrong 🤓
agreed
"And this was the worst rando ever! The rando hates me, it's not fair... OH MY GOD"
That ending totally cracked me up! Both on stream and in the video
I think doing this again but with some kind of random “blessings” would be sick. Stuff that’s like opposite to the curses
But that should be illegal. It has to just be curses because everyone knows that you have to be a masochist to play modded hollow knight.
Chat should be allowed to give skurry buffs if they feel it’s getting out of hand- they’re usually pretty nice.
This video was hilarious, the amount of fake Luriens there were is the funniest part
Take care of yourself Skurry, don’t lose your sanity too hard
“I can’t kill the children in one hit” (Skurry,2023)
evil metroidvania where you get worse
That’s actually a good game concept
A game where your skill gets better over time but your character gets progressively weaker
oh my God you're right
Rdr2? @@talosgak1236
Been waiting for this one, curses are always a fun time
This is like the opposite of a normal play through, where instead of getting stronger with each item, you just get weaker and weaker.
Skurry thank you so much for your content! It's very entertaining, and it helps me get through when I'm sick!
Find it fun that the descriptions for all the curses open with the OneShot select jingle
!…Someone else noticed!

I agree either limit some of the permanent curses to only being able to show up once, or add a way to cleanse them
Could make it so they dissapear via colloseum of fools. Seems fitting
You know it's gonna be a great day when skurry uploads

26:01 Getting stupidity at Pleasure house kitchen is actually quite poetic. Or it could be despair, I guess…?
10:40 that was a really smooth transition
I was just watching all of the other randomizers from you. Thank you for making my night alot better, Skurry ^w^
I forgot i didnt see you do this one yet lol seeing the curse randomizer is what made me finally want to try randomizers myself
26:40 i didnt expect to hear the ultrakill ost at all, lets fucking go
9:06
Skurry: oh god, X is jump
PS players: I see no problem
i feel like no duplicates setting almost always leads to a crazy and interesting progression.. not saying you should always do it, but it does seem to be the case, having the examples of this rando and the hjnyer's journal rando, these two were definitely one of the most fun ones
Always wanted to come back to hollow knight after beating the game
same did all achievements and feel like playing again sometimes, but i get immediately bored
do ittt. ive started like three playthroughs without finishing it. i gotta do it before silksong
Randos are a ton of fun, I highly recommend giving it a try, especially with the Transcendence charm mod
Next time chat asks to pay the fountain, Skurry could use Marissa’s life as a bargain….

Amazing content as always. Thank you!

I had a bad day today and this fixed it, thanks Skurry!
7:06 “I can’t kill the children in one hit”💀

That's cursed af
Your back Skurry!!! Maybe I just haven’t noticed but you always make my day better :)
26:47 omg ultrakill YES THATS BUSTING
Skurry… I just watched ONE… thank you for making a video, I need this.
actually insane rando, loved watching the edited version as well as the vods
That sound effect on getting curses makes it sound much more ominous
I love your voice, it's so relaxing to listen to!
This mod is basically what people online stereotype hard / difficult games as being like.
My day instantly improved when skurry appeared on my recommended. 😊
One of the funniest people on Yt, so glad I found your streams
26:34 ULTRAKILL SOUNDTRACK MOMENT
Its always a good day whwn skurry uploads
whoever put the oneshot sound effects and ultrakill music in the video has really good taste
I'd like to see a rando where all items are shuffled, it says you got an item, while you got a different one, and you don't know, even if you opened up inventory it would say you got the fake item, the only way to know is to mess around. Mixed with other settings it would be chaos.
Yesss waited for this for soo long
Same here
That ending made my skin want to disintegrate bc I just KNEW what was going to happen
It's only a matter of time until they start randomizing the requirements for things
The only randomizer run where skurry is not stupidly overpowered by the end
Ultrakill moment at 26:40
Yo nice job finishing! I'm glad you did bc it looked like it was reaching a point of unfun :p
At like 23:45 the nail length looks like the hk demo
i literally thought to myself yesterday "i want a new skurry hollow knight randomizer soon"

"i cant kill the children in one hit" 😢😢😢
not the ultrakill ost 😂 your editor has excellent taste o7
Zord knows their stuff
Ive been watching these videos for the past week and its gotten me back into hollow knight so hopefully i can get 100% or more completion this time 😭

recognized the oneshot sound effects immediately
This is definitely one of the funniest settings
Skurry, watching your Randomizer videos inspired to install mods sue myself and I just started a basic Randomizer myself!
Dude I started watching you’re videos then fell in love with your vids
5minutes! now this must be a sign so I'm subbing
I forgot I'm already subbed lol
For some reason I had my playback speed set to 0.75, and was confused as to why Skurry sounded drunk at first lmfao
Baldurs shell is pretty good against radiance when you don't have shade dash, because it doesn't cost you a full soul bar to block the fullscreen lasers with Baldurs as opposed to Dive.
sudden 0-2 ultrakill music was fire
I love your hollow knight videos so much!!
holy crap i witnessed the uploading of a skurry vid. this moment should be celebrated.
I remember Skurry said "there's something worse than soul refill", when they added "1 geo" pickup, and "something worse than 1 geo" when "nothing" pickup was added. So now is the end of this saga
I’m a fool, I know nothing🎶
I take the roll of a silly clown🎶

I don't think I've seen anyone do the curse rando and not think that they recieved way too many curses.

Skurry sounds a lot less annoyed in this than in the vod
Yeah :)
Skurry truly is a god gamer
Been waiting for this one
Love the editing!
