it seems way too hard to 'map out' these areas in your head to make searching for secrets convenient

too bad because secrets are the best part of games
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

my mind refuses to process that maddy is old enough to drive






yes, my mind has no problem accepting that a character that looks like a little girl climbing the mountain completely on her own with magic hair propulsion to the point where it doesn't automatically make me go "well, duh, she has to be a short adult"

Sooooooooo, this might hurt my sanity in the long run, but I'm gonna be attempting all the golden strawberry challenges along side this LP. ...Well, I say along side but I'll probably take a few extra weeks months to finish it up.

In short, it's a deathless challenge for each level. I haven't done these before, but now seemed like a good time to try them while the game is still fresh in my memory. We'll see if I break.

Note: I won't be going ahead of raocow and I'll make sure to note if there are any spoilers in any video (I can think of one level where this might be a thing).

So yeah, here's Forsaken City. Enjoy~

5A onwards and really 3B onwards too

Up to you of course, but if you just mostly finish each level then go back and "clean up" multiple levels later, you won't end up with videos like this where you're just getting the last 2-3 things you missed. I enjoy a good completionist-ing video, but but assuming other levels are this size, seems like it'll be prone to situations like this.

So silly question.
At 4:50 in the last video two of the dots on the bottom of the screen are red.
At 6:35 they have turned blue like the rest.

I thought they symbolized recently gotten strawberries but that doesn't seem to fit with the second video where different ones were red.
Do they get turned back to red after getting them again? That would make some sense as a "you are here" kind of thing.
If not I don't get it.

Catching up with this thread and...

You shut up :x

Honestly, I think raocow's gonna do alright with this one. Like, I know I died a lot, but nothing ever felt "un-doable". It's pure execution and raocow's pretty good at video games.

That said, there were a couple screens I struggled with, so I wonder if he'll get through them easier than I did (my guess is probably but then he'll have trouble with something else I'm not expecting in true cow fashion).

For the dots at the bottom of the pause screen, red means you got the strawberry in the current run of the chapter. Blue means you got it previously, but that turns red too if you get it again; this can help you keep track of which ones you got and their intended ordering. Horizontal gray bar means you haven't obtained it yet.

haha what a weirdo loser, she doesn't even give a thousand dollars to a megacorp to buy a shitty version of a computer

fuck off theo

e: also i forgot to comment about the dream. as usual, i find dream twists insulting not because they "reverse" what happened, because they don't, what happened still happened, but because they imply that the events of the chapter were "too absurd" to be real. the mountain's clearly magic and fucky so why not go all out with it? i was loving that entire final cutscene before she woke up, was just about to praise the game for going full surreal. i think it would have been really effective to have characters start telling you that you're in a dream and then not have you actually ever wake up. i'm assuming we'll see more weird stuff later but i was really fond of that cutscene in particular and hate to see it rationalized.
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

For me, dream twists are only bad at the end of works. Used inside, they can still imply Very Strange Shit afoot. Of course, being at the end of an episode or chapter is a little disappointing, but then I recognised the scrambled text on the monument as an example of dream reading from the start, so I saw it coming.

Honestly, I'm half expecting it wasn't a dream - or at least not "just a dream." I'm kinda expecting that the mountain can either drag you into a dream world or tries to twist your dreams into impromptu therapy sessions ... if we aren't just outright dealing with a Silent Hill-esque situation that's less willing to outright kill you.

Yeah I think it's possible to recontextualize it by playing with the idea more further. I just would enjoy it more if everything was surreal for no reason.
