No, keep 'em coming if you want. I like feedback.

A2 stuff, I'll watch A3 later

first fight: that enemy always statuses turn 2 so you don't want to rebound a defend turn 1. also streamline is more an earlygame anti elite card and you probably don't want to be picking it in act 2, it's not powerful enough to keep up

second fight: that potion only blocked 5 damage which is pretty poor value, I could understand using it MAYBE if you had no more free slots but you do. Also you played loop instead of dualcast for lethal and took 10 damage because of it

shop: please buy the defragment it's so good especially since you are just removing even more and more non-orb sources of damage from your deck. It's honestly one of the best defect cards imo, gives you both block and damage for the rest of the fight and only costs 1 energy

third fight: should have played core surge instead of strike, it does more damage and also gives you an artifact charge which is great since the enemy is literally just about to hit you with a debuff. Also play your FTL first, the whole point of the card is that it replaces itself if you play it early in the turn (but really you shouldn't have even bought it). and if you don't play it first at least play it at some point, you're literally passing up on free damage

knight + healer: I strongly recommend killing the kinght first. Things worked out ok this time but it's usually a lot safer since if you kill the knight first you just have this really easy healer to fight afterward, while if you kill the healer first the knight enrages and can deal massive damage. Killing the knight first is also easier than you'd think since it only ever blocks for the healer rather than for itself

boss fight: nothing really wrong here considering you get a full heal afterward and have health to spare. but a general tip: this boss powers up immensely once you knock it below half health. This means it's best to fight it by taking your time to power up while blocking its weaker early attacks, get it to like 55%, and then trying to just blast away with as much damage as you can. for your deck specifically this would mean just sitting like 5 turns with a dark orb in your first slot being careful not to use any other orb cards, and then dualcasting it for 250ish damage

boss relic: slavers collar is ok but considering you tend to avoid elites instead of fighting them I'm not sure how much value you'd really get out of it. might be better off with sozu since your potion slots are full already anyway

in general: be more careful with your dark orbs. they're very powerful when looped in the first slot, and very powerful when dualcasted, but you tend to cycle through them without really letting them charge which misses out on a lot of their power. the fact that they're providing a lot of your damage overall is also kinda a sign you should have upgraded loop earlier because it has very strong synergy with dark orbs

Bright side is it's just the group disbanding, they're all still going to be independent iirc. At least that was the plan last I heard.

Yeah that's what they said. but honestly reading their farewell letters I kinda got the feeling that only parerun is particularly enthusiastic about continuing. not that they've said anything obviously and I could be totally wrong but just the wording/phrasing makes me feel that way

I realized after watching a1 while writing this that you didn't explicitly ask for feedback so I stopped here but if you want I'll do the rest of the video too. also I'm not some super pro player or anything so it's not like this is all 100% perfect advice but it should at least be helpful

Bad_Mojo posted...

Did a video. Forgot to turn on the audio, though-.

shop: not as much of a deal on low ascensions but going too intense on removing strikes very early (before you have anything to use in their place) can leave you with a ddeck too weak to actually kill anything so watch out for that

first upgrade: loop over zap imo

life for relic event: I'd just keep going until I got it there, you're about to fight a 1 hp elite so that's a free fight anyway and you're full health

rest afterward: massive mistake. it's not even the full rest, you have lots of health to spare atm, you have a pretty good upgrade (loop). basically no reason to ever rest here

skip from the elite: another mistake. nothing in your deck actually does anything atm (it might be weaker than the starter deck lol) so you need to pick something up. coolheaded is solid all around, chaos is sort of a meme but rolling a dark orb with it has good loop synergy

jaw worm: you didn't take your gold or even look at the card reward from this fight.....

pathing: normally I'd say you should have taken the elite here but your deck is extremely weak atm so probably better you avoided it. in general though the fact that your deck is so weak you are averse to fighting elites from full health is already kind of bad and I'd recommend trying to fight 2+ elites in act1 every time

double slimes: after killing green you should have just blocked for 10, you almost certainly would have made it out of this fight with no damage. also you didn't play your 0 cost zap

pathing: normal fights this late in the act kinda suck and the question mark would probably be better. Main benefit of the normal fights is guaranteed card rewards to make your deck better but you didn't even do anything with those

bug boys: didn't strike when you had 1 energy left at the end of turn 2 for no reason, not that it mattered here. you need more damage right no not more block so I'd probably have gone with the bullseye (especially considering almost all your damage right now is from dark/lightning orbs)

slaver: you blocked against no damage when you could have dualcasted instead of something. again, you need damage right now, I would have taken ball lightning here

slimes: first turn lol.

pre-boss rest: I feel like you probably could have gotten away with upgrading loop here instead. It has extremely good synergy with dark orb especially against slime boss

slime boss: a little unfortunate on late darkness draw. could have played the slime instead of defend on the turn you split it. you could also have targetted the dualcast onto green slime specifically by striking it first. You also didn't need to block the turn you split green slime and gotten a better split though it didn't matter here. Most important part of this fight is getting a good first split which you did pretty well so nice.

boss relic: I sort of like pyramid here? lets you save dualcast for the right moment which is your main way of hitting things atm, and also might help improve your draws by holding a bunch of strikes/defends in your hand. You don't really have a bunch of great cards in your deck so choker will probably just be 1 more strike per turn or something

Most runs are indeed unbeatable

uh I'm not sure I'd agree here. most runs are beatable the problem is just that everyone in this topic including me sucks at the game <_<

like, there's a lot of options and ways you can do things and it's pretty rare that you're just gonna lose when you have that much freedom. the problem is that because there are so many things you can do, it's hard to find the right things to do

they buffed most of the cards related to them. they're better, but i don't think its a massive boost.

I was kinda of the opinion silent was the worst character before and now they're second best (since obviously no one is better than watcher)

blade dance going from 2(3) to 3(4) is massive, at first glance it's now a 12 (16) damage common!! that lets you distribute damage, which is already good, but it has the obvious extra synergy with strength, after image, thousand cuts, etc. there's also a bunch of artifacts that have triggers on 3 attacks in a turn which it can now do unupgraded by itself

Yeah but the difference is you don't find two specific rare cards "early"

silent you can do it practially every game since a bunch of shiv cards are commons

shivs are so overtuned now lol

did a few runs that were basically all just this exact pattern

2) effortlessly clear most of the game
3) die to time lord

there are other aspects of games ame is pretty good at, though. like, she had very good movement in outer wilds and that game has notoriously weird movement controls. And she's good at finding secret areas or even areas you aren't supposed to reach at all, like she has some weird instinct about how to climb on top of level geometry that really seems like it's just decorative

yeah beowulf is basically 100% reliant on your cast. attack boon is ok to have but special boon I pretty much pretend it doesn't exist

the best one is poseidon imo, and after that artemis and I guess demeter. worst are dionysus, zeus and ares. the demeter boon that does little cold nova whenever you cast is also extremely good

I'm sure licensing is part of it. My personal theory is that it's because it's short (so easier to work with all around) and because it basically already has the entire video premade for you. Bonus points for that video making a very striking youtube thumbnail

I'm not a super big fan of it either but I thought towa's version of it was pretty great

3DS version has a lot of changes, I personally am not a fan of many of them and think it's a worse version of the game but some of them are nice too and I can see why people would like it. the gamecube version is just the n64 version emulated, so it's the same except it's way more laggy in certain places (stone tower is one, also whenever there are explosions) and has very rare but seemingly random crashes sometimes

I think the main story is definitely not an issue guideless. Some of the side quests are complex but if you're willing to go around talking to people, and then actually paying attention to what they say (maybe even writing notes for yourself or something) it's not like there's anything totally unhinted. just that there's a lot to keep track of and it's easy to forget stuff

What would you say makes them bad?

vtube tengoku is just weirdly dry and loses a lot of character imo (as well as some mistranslations sometimes here and there). I feel like they used to be better in the past but at some point their clip making speed sped up a bunch and their quality checking went way down, I think they're a group now and used to be a single person? I ddon't know exactly

bakaga is really clickbaity and also just has very poor translation quality. a lot of their videos are like, snapping up "high interest" stuff (just scroll their videos page you'll see what I mean) and then messing it up. I'm really not sure how to explain it other than that they really aren't qualified to be translating, or at least need a lot more of a quality check process. honestly just their upload speed should scare you away, there is no way they can be producing actual quality output uploaing nearly 20 videos in the past week.

otakmori is just like... even before getting into their translation ability (which is also not good) I feel like they have gone beyond just clickbait and feel almost malicious? they've dialed it back a bit recently as far as I can tell but their choice of what to clip, how its presented, how they title/thumbnail it really felt to me for a long time like they're just trying to stir up trouble. as far as I'm aware they're also the only subbing channel that's been told off explicitly by hololive staff and had one of their videos linked on the subreddit removed which is like some sort of absurd claim to fame?? they really don't know what they're doing any also have basically shown extreme resistance to any help, constructive criticism, or corrections of any kind

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/160488682925719552/804388083003949106/unknown.png

this ended up being a bit ranty but it's something I have pretty strong opinions on so whatever. it's not just like translating anime or something - if you're subbing vtubers you are taking on the responsibility of conveying the words, thoughts, and personalities of an actual real person to hundreds or thousands or even more people and so I have no qualms trashing on people who do it particularly poorly. especially since a lot of the fastest / most prolific subbers are often the bad ones (gee it's almost like spending no time on your work makes it bad) but because they upload so much youtube just stuffs their videos in everyone's faces. the whole system is so messed up and every time I see people recommend these channels I just get more and more annoyed at the whole thing

---

THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!! THERES SO MUCH PEOPLE READING AND POSTING STUIPED STUFF

otakmori is one of the worst TL channels. bakaga is new but is also really bad. like, both are pretty definitively on the "add this channel to my do not recommend and never look back"

vtube tengoku is not great either honestly but in comparison they're amazing. anything with a very generic name (eg "holoive ENG cuts" or "vtuber sub HOLOLIVE" or etc etc) is almost always real bad. I probably have more clip channels on my block list than on my sub list and I specifically try to sub to all the actually good ones

I'd recommend either following this twitter or just using their list / scrolling their tweets to find channels https://twitter.com/GoodVTuberSubs/status/1346267806333976576

gotta say I'm not super surprised since that's just how a lot of people are about these sorts of things <_<

I can understand finding the videos themselves getting a bit repetitive/tiring but I think most people don't bother actually unsubscribing unless some crazy event they don't like happens. Like, don't most people just stay subscribed and ignore them and forget they exist? not that subscribing to people on youtube even does very much in the first place

that said, this is coming from someone who basically never watched them much in the first place so maybe I'm totally off point. I agree with a lot of their general ideas but the way basically every video I saw was just the same thing again and again was really grating. And maybe this is as much a reflection on the videos as it is on the industry itself (after all, if they stopped pulling this sort of stuff again and again it wouldn't be possible to make videos about it) but it doesn't really create a good viewing experience
