Welcome back Tricky. Regarding your career, you made the right decision. I had to make a similar one a long time ago. Regardless of how things turn out, the most important is whenever you wake up, you know you aren't a distorted shameful shadow of yourself, not simply because you spin yourself a heroic headcanon of who you are, but because you truly took action. If more people had the integrity to take the same stand as you did, nobody would humour those greedy tyrants hell bent on designing flying coffins.
Tricky, you continually amuse me for the entire course of the run. It's easy to just talk about what you're doing, but your side commentary about your life, "getting in your thinking position", frustration with the deck order, you're genuinely one of the funniest and engaging people I watch on this platform. I don't watch any streamers, just youtube highlights, but I have no doubt that I would watch your streams because I just enjoy hearing your commentary so much. Not all engineering firms are scummy and force you to compromise your morals, but if you decided to change gears and stream on twitch, you'd have my sub in a heartbeat. Also, I know I love STS way more than balatro, but it's a good game and trending, so if you're wanting to grow, that might be a potential avenue to pursue while we're waiting on STS 2
As much as I'm eagerly anticipating StS2, I'm more looking forward to seeing new Tricky content where he frequently breaks the game and enters Act 2 boss battles with 10HP like it aint no thing. Also, you definitely have the personality to become a full time successful content creator. Watching you flex on the spire is too entertaining and never gets old. EDIT And if you do put out a further video talking about the situation around your termination (and going off other recent 'unexplained' events) I'd watch what you say. Seriously!
Awesome to have you back. If you want to pause the game for 5 mins here and there to talk about your life then go for it, don't feel pressure to interrupt yourself.
1:27:26 "there isn't really a real world, and the real world is exactly what you make it" Dropping philosophy while beating the heart of the game. He's still got it. Class act, Tricky, nice run.
Very glad to have you with us Tricky. I hope things get better and more stable for you in the future. Your commentary is very fun, insightful, and enjoyable, and paired with great/interesting runs , it's always a great time.
I used to watch a bunch of your videos a while ago when I had that Slay the Spire itch. I finally got the game myself and playing it here and there when I get the time. Regardless, I really wish you the very best with the IRL stuff and hope you get your own bearings soon! Good luck with that and the channel, will love to see ya playing StS 2!
Gosh I just hate how well Tricky plays Slay the Spire and how he always wins so hard even without OP cards like footwork. Slay the Spire Silent Zero Damage Heart fight how???!!! It would be even worse if he tried out spell rouge or another rogue like.
Hey Tricky, it's great to see you again. I'd love to see more content from you, regardless of the format. Your StS content is great and I'll gladly watch more, but I'd also love to see you try different things from time to time. See what's fun for you and what works for your audience. If you need suggestions for StS - there are a lot more great mods out there, which you haven't tried (on your channel at least): The newest downfall character (the collector), the prismatic, the packmaster, spire biomes and a lot more. Also there have been a few games which you might wanna check out: Mori Carta or Wildfrost come to mind for me. You've also mentioned making video essays, which I'd also like to see. Personally I think regardless of what you make, you've gained a lot of viewers which are here mostly here for you and not for the game itself. Also I'm calling it now: When StS2 comes out, your channel will get huge. It's insane how good you are at the game and people will find your channel and stick around. Sorry this got a bit long, I don't usually write yt-comments, but I was really happy to see you uploading again!
Always loved the Wraith Form beta art! I think you nailed it when you said you will come back to the channel in whatever way that you want to. At the end of the day, regardless of any one video that you upload being "good" for the channel or not, you're guaranteeing that each video is good for YOU. Uploading something that you want to share will ultimately be what drives the most fulfillment to you. Beyond that, I think most of the people watching these videos are happy to see anything from you at all, so you're in a position to experiment with it comfortably. I'm mid-career change myself, it's a wild ride out in the "real world." I'd be interested to hear more about what your experience has been with your career path.
I just played a round while watching this, no joke it was expertise, sneaky strike, I bought an ice cream early on (making expertise insane), tactician, two gamble+ and a tingsha 😅
Hey Tricky, glad to see you wanting to update more, always love the content. Talking about career I feel you, I'm currently unemployed, trying to figure out what to do with my life. Still trying to find something that would allow me to make use of all the stuff I learned in the last 10 years but I agree with what you said, the world is what you make of it. Keep up the good stuff, I will keep on enjoying it as always
Honestly good for you getting out of there. It takes a lot of guts to live with a conscience, and while things might seem pretty chaotic right now, if you focus on what you can do and what feels right to you I'm sure you'll make it with whatever you choose. Maybe set up a patreon if youre going the serious creator route
Glad to see your gameplay again. I'm an engineer with Boeing as well on the defense side. I'll just say I'm happy I'm not tied to production. Tough industry to be a part of. Wishing you the best
I've been playing StS since early access, can't believe I never came across your videos before. Awesome work, I hope you keep posting more! Why couldn't the Chinese players also bully the devs into removing Writhing Mass from the game 😆
I think sharing the ethical dilemma(s) you faced would be important. It's good for people entering the work force to know what kinds of things to expect and how to deal with them ethically.
Welcome back Tricky! I think that a lot of people would like to see what other games you play. Have you tried Noita or the Chimera cards mod for Spire?
Please, don't "go missing". Raising ethical concerns against Boeing and company is dangerous now a days. Make sure you make a written statement saying you would not commit unalive. I would be destroyed if you got taken out chief. Losing #1 StS player would be cursed.
The meaning of life, surely, is going infinite as Silent. As far as other games on the channel, why not? I love Spire, so if that shows up at all I'm probably happy. You said you used to play Yugioh; maybe some Master Duel content? I also saw someone mention Balatro, which could be cool. Whatever seems interesting to you though, ultimately.
I've been a civil engineer for 20 years. If a company let you go for raising ethical concerns that will hurt the buisness in the long run then you are better off not working for a short sighted company. Find a job you don't hate working with people you respect and that respect you. It may take several tries, but eventually you will find a good place to spend your career.
also Tricky you look very handsome today but about your career, just keep looking. Lots of jobs for engineers (or whatever else you want to become) and many of them are incredible. TRUST ME there are awesome jobs out there: high paying jobs, jobs that make the world better, cushy jobs, spiritually uplifting jobs, blow jobs, whatever you want, you just need to keep trying. The search isn't easy by any means, and it takes years, but I promise you it's there. for the love of god don't try to do youtube as a career

Please don't die from a "mystery illness" in a carpark somewhere :(
Please upload more often Tricky. Your runs are always highly entertaining
MY BOY

Find someone who Oooh's at you the way Tricky did to the upgraded acrobatics 52:25
I truly hope you do well Tricky, and I'll be proud to say I was here at the beginning when you succeed
You're looking healthier Tricky, happy to see. 🤜🤛
Whatever you're uploading and whenever you do is always a treat to the sub feed brother 👌
The moral dilemma of bouncing flask
1:27:26 "there isn't really a real world, and the real world is exactly what you make it"
Dropping philosophy while beating the heart of the game. He's still got it. Class act, Tricky, nice run.
My favorite Silent beta art is probably Finisher.
I never thought I would see Tricky skip Grand Finale in a deck like this. Love the content Tricky
Very glad to have you with us Tricky. I hope things get better and more stable for you in the future.
Your commentary is very fun, insightful, and enjoyable, and paired with great/interesting runs , it's always a great time.
Engineering is definitely worth it, just maybe at a different shop.
I found you like three days ago and I am absolutely in love with your videos! They're so exciting...
12:58 not blocking for 7 so he can lower his health for the hexaghost fight. He really is a genius. Unmatched, unparalleled, undefeated.
always glad to see another tricky video! glad to see you back with some refreshing silent takes :D
oh wow please dont die mysteriously in a random car park
BTW tricky you have the voice and personality to make it as a content creator for sure
His humor is on point
I used to watch a bunch of your videos a while ago when I had that Slay the Spire itch. I finally got the game myself and playing it here and there when I get the time.

It would be even worse if he tried out spell rouge or another rogue like.
I turned 34 this year and still asking if I want to transition from my 11.5 year career into something else. Always enjoy the videos when you upload.
Welcome back Tricky! It’s so great to see a new upload, especially just after the STS2 announcement!
At least this is a great welcome run. Welcome back, TH-cam is not the same for me without you.
Hey Tricky, it's great to see you again. I'd love to see more content from you, regardless of the format.

Let’s go! Get it poppin and we’re here to support you
Please don't burn out! Especially with StS2 around the corner! ❤❤
Love your content! I'd watch anything you put out tbh, do what feels right and we'll be here watching!
Thanks for the upload boss!
A graduation present!? Yipeeee
The intangible spikers thing is new to me that's hilarious bless you for the knowledge.
The dopamine rush I got seeing a Tricky upload 🎉
Somehow, Tricky returned.
Always loved the Wraith Form beta art!

HE'S BACK BABEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I've been playing StS since early access, can't believe I never came across your videos before. Awesome work, I hope you keep posting more!

Welcome back!
"I'm tryna toke"
Relatable
Highlight of my week!!!
Let’s go! I’ve been watching all your old vids
Nice to see you back!!
For beta arts I think Dodge and Roll, Expertise, Choke, and Eviscerate are pretty cool. Die die die is really funny tho
Honestly unload is kinda underrated. The beta art is amazing too.
He's back! Lets fucking go!
Man, I missed you!
Welcome back, bro
Guys will watch this and go "Hell yeah"
I think sharing the ethical dilemma(s) you faced would be important. It's good for people entering the work force to know what kinds of things to expect and how to deal with them ethically.
Tricky's back? My nights just got a whole lot more comfy.
I need more Jorbs comments. I think a vid with both of you would be great.
The run had to be scripted. Sooo happy your back love your sts content!
All the relics on perfect numbers - nunchaku on 9, ink bottle on 9, pocketwatch on 29
Welcome back Tricky! I think that a lot of people would like to see what other games you play. Have you tried Noita or the Chimera cards mod for Spire?
Welcome back bro, the best Silent player :D. Will you play StS 2 test?
he still posting ❤
i love you tricky
I would recommend that you go on the record in your videos saying, "I do not feel suicidal, and I have much to live for and to do."... Just incase.
^
Please, don't "go missing". Raising ethical concerns against Boeing and company is dangerous now a days. Make sure you make a written statement saying you would not commit unalive. I would be destroyed if you got taken out chief. Losing #1 StS player would be cursed.
Not the 4am upload
Just seeing the upload alone gave me morale boost
Also some more Downfall content please?
Also my fav silent beta art is predator
LETS GOOOOOOOO
YESSSS TRICKY UPLOAD. Any opinion or Idea about uploading tabletop version of STS? It runs nicely on tabletop simulator
Sublime run btw
Hope he's back for good 🥹
The meaning of life, surely, is going infinite as Silent. As far as other games on the channel, why not? I love Spire, so if that shows up at all I'm probably happy. You said you used to play Yugioh; maybe some Master Duel content? I also saw someone mention Balatro, which could be cool. Whatever seems interesting to you though, ultimately.
i miss her so fucking bad dude
Boeing handle criticism and feedback well. You should feel free to share 😂
Long time no see
you should defend+ at 12:53 since you're sure to kill next turn
I've been a civil engineer for 20 years. If a company let you go for raising ethical concerns that will hurt the buisness in the long run then you are better off not working for a short sighted company.

What does "unseeded" even mean? What does that change, gameplay wise?
You look a lot more tan and older
15:00 Sounds almost like you're looking for god. I'm still looking, but just the path towards him has done good for me.
also Tricky you look very handsome today but about your career, just keep looking. Lots of jobs for engineers (or whatever else you want to become) and many of them are incredible. TRUST ME there are awesome jobs out there: high paying jobs, jobs that make the world better, cushy jobs, spiritually uplifting jobs, blow jobs, whatever you want, you just need to keep trying. The search isn't easy by any means, and it takes years, but I promise you it's there.
for the love of god don't try to do youtube as a career
