@chirei funny thing about that is that because of how that room is setup, with assist mode on it's practically the biggest skip in the game (besides a pretty well-known one in

mirror temple

)
but i mean nobody does assist mode speedruns so

Starting to catch up with this series now since this was a game I was undecided on. Three vids in, and it looks really cool.

Are you playing with a control stick or a dpad, Mr. King of Video Games?

There are two minor things you can do in the overworld:

1) If you hold down the pause button, you can tilt the camera a little bit.
2) When you open the crystal hearts page in Madeline's journal, you can rearrange the hearts.

I don't know what the purpose of these two are.

You can rearrange the hearts so they won’t be out of order! (I got quite a few of the hearts after getting the ones for Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, and it bugged me sooo much that they were listed first.)

It's not hard to learn, raocow. I'll quote a youtube comment I found:
It might actually take less time to acclimate to keyboard controls than it would to die a whole bunch of times due to super precise controller demands, but I'm sure you'll persevere regardless~

Well at least he's on a dpad and not the stick. I don't understand how people are able to use stick for some of the most demanding parts later on. I played "dpad" as well, but I own the game on Switch and was using the joycon directional buttons so I guess they aren't technically a dpad. You can try keyboard if you want but trying to do it mid-game is probably not the best place to learn it. I have faith you'll get through, accidental inputs and all.

Now you're using bribes to get people to switch to keyboard? That's low, Sebby. Next thing we know you're going to be lobbying Congress to get controllers banned.

I've honestly found that it's better to match the dash directions to different voice commands and shout them when you need to dash (example: shouting "UP LEFT" will make Maddy dash up and to the left). I will mail raocow a rare gemstone that belonged to my great-grandfather if he switches to this method.

They're both in Canada

Honestly though, keyboard is good for this game since you need 8 separate directions to dash and it helps to not mix up diagonals with horizontals.

writing this down so I hopefully remember:

if you have a choice between two paths, the path that goes UP is more likely to keep you from going back. remember this."

While there are a few times in Celeste where it's not entirely obvious which path is the main one and which one leads to secrets, I feel like in this case it was kind of clear from the fact that the clouds led directly to it, and in order to reach the other path you had to climb up a wall in the opposite direction of the way you were going...

Without watching the video I can read from the context exactly which side path from which room raocow apparently misses today.

I may have played this game too much.

smh if you don't have a direct neural connection to your frontal cortex directly issuing commands to the game from your brain

Yeah which one was the side path was pretty clear this time, this one was on raocow. I'm not sure why he avoided even getting the strawberry in that room though, that wouldn't have risked any lock-outs.
