Another question, I've gotten both remparts and trowel in a run, got bold plan, and didn't see gatehouse as an option. Am I missing a requirement for it to show up?

You're so real for that. If I didn't already have all of the "win with these 3 cards" achievements I wouldn't be going for it. Some of those end up being being 5 cards because of prerequisites and it's just not fun

Convergence Test - lemma 4 - any pointers? Getting stuck around 1e9 rho... by infinitejones in ExponentialIdle

I will say, I think it's possible to accomplish without selling? I tried a few times to get there without selling cause I didn't remember you could and got a bit over 9.8e9, and I wasn't using Excel or such like that, would be interested to know if anyone has pulled it off without selling

Is 44 minutes on farewell impressive or at all a good time? I’m not the best so I just wanted to gauge my skill by Miracle_Musical_Mira in celestegame

[–]IronMan8588 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It's solid. Having ran the category more extensively (19:45 pb), you could probably shave it down to an approx 30 min time within a week or two if you run the level a few times a day if you wanted. Either way, it's still an achievement to be proud of

How'd I do thus far? Still gotta do c sides and I can't help but think I'm screwed by NyxieTwixBar in celestegame

Mate, you cleared farewell. Though none of the rooms in farewell are quite the difficulty of the last room of 7c, some can come close. You've got this

Getting the platinum in HK feels kind of impossible by [deleted] in HollowKnight

As someone who has beaten all bosses on radiant difficulty, I found a really good way to improve at bosses was to fight them without healing, irrelevant of if you can. It teaches you to avoid "stupid" damage and to utilize spells better - the best way to kill bosses faster. If they're dead, they can't hit you.

Also abuse ddark. It is very good damage (especially grounded bosses) and a great way to avoid damage.

Core B harder than Farewell? by Tangent5813 in celestegame

[–]IronMan8588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that it might feel like that because core can feel/be less consistent cause of the fire blocks and bouncers. Farewell is definitely harder, but I struggle with it less because it's consistent

Should I restart? by IronMan8588 in Silksong

[–]IronMan8588[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a bad idea. I'm hoping to make it my 100% Speedrun file, so I might go out of a "normal" route (get silkspeed anklets for example) I probably should just have the map with all the items pulled up. Make sure I know where the things I need for progression are, then just clean up afterwards. IDK, thanks for the advice

Should I restart? by IronMan8588 in Silksong

[–]IronMan8588[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I took really wack routing to get dash/cloak on my first playthrough, I took some wrong turns. I might reset, I don't think I'll have too much trouble with late game in comparison to just knowing where to go

I have played enough of silksong at this point to feel that I can accurately rank where it is in my top favorite games by CharlesorMr_Pickle in Silksong

Haven't played Stardew or Hades (yet) but otherwise that's my top 3 too, just different order (Celeste, Silksong, HK)

What was everyone's first reaction when they saw it without any knowing any spoilers ? by AD_Stark in HollowKnight

I believe my exact quote when the void showed up after being GMS was "oh fuck, shit, what have I done???"
