raocow's talkhaus

"our hypothesis is probably a lot of nitrogren, and a good portion of xenon, with many trace elements similar to that of our own planet". I think getting too caught up on the composition of Hocotate's atmosphere is answering the wrong question. As you mentioned, the air we breathe on Eart...

Would probably be something like methane or some sulfur compound - Helium is too nonreactive, not to mention scarce on your average rocky planet.

So, reading up on the Pikmin wiki to refresh my memory, my best interpretation of what happened is that "the boy" attempted to steal a shearwig (flying green guy) that had two pikmin carrying it, got dragged back to the onion, and died instantly due to the small amount of damage raocow had...

I only just now realized that Farmer Barleycorn must be doing some sick stunt jumps on that tractor in his day-to-day

I also think Gulp is particularly notable when compared to what came before - with Spyro 1 bosses being... the way that they are, and Crush being a good introduction to the idea that Spyro 2 bosses are legit boss fights , but also very clearly a "world 1 boss" with extremely predictable at...

I'm pretty sure I had more difficulty with the crystal popcorn race than I had even with the Fracture Hills escort mission the first time I played this game.

Also, as someone who actually appreciates how... distinctive Magma cone's music is, getting to hear it in chipmunk time was a real treat.

There is 100% a story behind the "do not trust vtubers for life advices" title and I'm terrified to learn what it is I thought it was just about how Squawks didn't point out that puzzle piece on the edge of the ship, with the gag that Squawks, by being an animated character in the corner ...

That just sounds like Sunny Flight shouldn't be in world 1, though. The original game devs should have moved the level (or its design while swapping the aesthetics/themes) or designed it to be more introductory. I actually think it's a good idea to have "no" World 1 flight level and only ...

Alright, now that Sunny Flight's done I can talk about this without spoiling anything: It's really gotten on my nerves how whenever someone streams or LPs Spyro 1, you get a ton of watchers trying to get the player to 100% clear everything in Artisans, including the flight, before moving on to Peace...

So when I was fighting Egg Emperor as each team back in the day, I found out that when Vector is gathering up his allies in that first part of his attack cycle, he actually does not take damage from anything, so I would get through the fight by abusing I-frames, walking around the cleared out first ...

FPS Players: Get it drilled into their heads by decades of FPS gaming to want to kill every enemy that they come across FPS Games: Design their setpieces specifically around this trained response from their playerbase raocow: "What if I just run?" FPS Games: https://en.meming.world/images...

Regarding the "this is a lot easier than I was expecting from a Touhou fangame" comment, it's worth noting that this wasn't made by Desunoya like your more famous past Touhou LPs (The MariAri games & Nitroid, with a third group making Super Marisa World) have been. A lot of what you've...

I think you would get a lot more mileage out of the armor if you were more aggressive with spells while you had it. You keep saving your milk for "healing" when you can't do that until after the armor is already gone, and it seems like most of the damage you take stems from wanting to alwa...

About the "why does Mario have a spook zone (or what have you) on his private island", I'm pretty sure that the "Mario Land" in this game isn't Mario's private estate but actually a theme park built in Mario's honor. All the wacky places around the island are supposed to be rides...

I mean, Gemini is associated with twins and duality, so Gemini Man for the boss that splits in two makes sense. What's confusing is how a bouncing laser factors into it at all; I think the answer is something something mirrors, but it honestly feels like it was just tacked on so that Mega Man would ...

Part of the issue is that there is a scoreboard. It's not just a "do it for 100% completion" thing, you're also ranked on your kills. If you could bring in outside health packs, then making sure you had a full set before entering would be required for top score. The way is is now, you can ...

This is probably a little late in the LP to be asking this, but does raocow know that he doesn't have to have the default pistol equipped? He barely ever uses the pistol intentionally, and in the stinky arena for example he could have gone down with the Railgun AND Shotgun.

To answer your question in the video raocow, the crystal ceiling place (and the monolith next to it) was indeed what I was talking about. If you look closely, you'll see that the crystal ceiling is actually a giant robot with the crystal in his eye: the same one, in fact, that the lore guy mentions ...

Okay, so everything west of the teleport was ground you had never covered before this video. Even the parts you were skipping over in editing because you thought you were "retreading ground". Also if you had continued on after getting the eighth module the path brings you all the way to th...

From my experience, West was the easiest zone, and East had the easiest boss. Although I did do East first (it looked the prettiest on the map). When I returned later to secret hunt with more upgrades in tow, I had a much smoother time. I suspect that the East zone will eat players alive if they lac...

I feel like the blue bob-omb was deliberately put where it was to prevent a sane man's wall-jumping and force you to do some crazy triangle jump shenanigans to get the star.

I think there's already a 17th black cat right at the end (at least there was in the older version), so I think just tossing maybe 3 more black cats around the place to bring total blacks cats up to 20 would have done wonders. Not even actually hidden, just finding black cats in post game like you f...

Question: if you reset your progress and begin from scratch, does that undo your costume/shop unlocks? If not, could that potentially be added in a future version? I feel like the moment you finally get the full gamut of costume options is the moment you can't actually do anything with your new avat...

Do you have any way to emulate Wii games or record off of a Wii? I can't remember if you've done any Wii stuff on your channel before but if it's at all possible I hugely recommend doing Shake It at some future date. Especially if your biggest lament about Wario Land 4 is "there's not enough of...
