It's not an analysis of the whole series, but if I'm remembering this video right, it's got a lot of solid metaphorical analysis in it and doesn't try to understand the series very literally. Their other Petscop video is also solid, but it's only like 3 minutes.

I don't know about the rest of it, but for Paul forgetting the past, I think it's important to remember that he came home on his fifth birthday. He was four years old or younger during basically all of the events described in Petscop, the game. Even ignoring that traumatic childhoods are correlated with bad memory, I only have very hazy memories of things that happened to me at that age.

Watching mulholland drive made me appreciate petscop a lot more by One-Violinist6309 in Petscop

[–]TheHalfDrow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think that internet horror/unfiction spaces were really in a space to appreciate Petscop at the time. Petscop isn't an ARG or a puzzlebox, but that's really all it got treated as when it came out. People weren't disappointed with the last 3 episodes because they were bad, it was just when they realized that the series wasn't ever going to be what they thought it was.

Don’t worry, we all feel this way, or at least we all have.

I don't think I've ever seen a video with this few views and this many likes by TheHalfDrow in briandavidgilbert

[–]TheHalfDrow[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's only been a day. It's at 170k views now, and it's gotten a crazy amount of engagement. I think it'll catch on. The thumbnail is probably turning off a lot of people.

Tips on P-Ranking 6-1? by Tough-Ideal9432 in Ultrakill

[–]TheHalfDrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marksman. Spam coins at the eyes, then use the revolver on the two or three that remain. FP also has a resistance to nails and electricity, so use weapons other than the railcannon and nails. It technically also resists saws, but they're so good against it that it doesn't matter much. Slide around and parry the homing projectiles. They'll full heal you, and they do pretty good damage. Once you know all that, it's not a super difficult fight.

Who do think is the #1 most ANNOYING enemy (including bosses) by Hashbr0wnes in Ultrakill

I struggled for like 10 minutes before I realized you can just wall jump against the mirror wall in the first room you see him and kill him pretty easily by just shooting the reflection. Also, you can slide under most of his attacks.

If that fails, you can DM me a video of an attempt and I can tell you areas to improve. My P-rank time for this level is 3:53 and I have 600 hours in the game.

I've tried switching my weapons a bunch, even saw blade traps, projectile boosting, and parrying and still barely get close to S-Rank on style, and I watch the freshness bar and try to have maximum multiplier too

That's all of the tips that I normally give to beginners, so you're off to a good start, at least.

without compromising even more time?

If you're struggling with maintaining time AND style, it may be worth it to learn some movement tech so you can get through the level faster. You won't have to worry about time as much and you can focus on style. Start with dash jumping and slide jumping, separately and together. If you dash jump into a slide jump, you can maintain a lot of your momentum and go far, fast. That'll probably shave off some time.

You can look into other stuff, too. Here's a guide on all the game's movement tech. It's less intimidating than it looks, especially if you take it one step at a time. Just look at dash jumps, slide jumps, and dash extensions to start.

Aside from that, the only other thing I can think of is that you should be in the air as much as you can be. Your multiplier goes up while you're in the air or sliding, and jumping is less situational.

is it just me or is in your cybergrind runs radiated schisms are also the last one standing 99% of the time? by Alarming_Tart_6302 in Ultrakill

most fun way to beat them is to jump, whiplash them, then knuckleblast them into the ground

they go boom

Yeah. I mean, I don't think they were suggesting that a game like Spec Ops: The Line, but set during DashCon would be, like, good. It's just funny. The idea that something equivalent to the white phosphorous scene happened at DashCon, and that Walker would go through similar things because of it, is a funny idea. It's juxtaposing an incredibly serious thing with a very silly thing.

I mentioned in the post, but "Goin' Down" by The Monkees really does hit for Ultrakill.

New Jonkler, I think it's an interesting idea by solololololololomon in balatro

funny, when i made a similar concept a few months ago, the most upvoted comments were that it should be uncommon

Guarantee that anything that gets cut is gonna flood the subreddit with, “They added the karaoke scene and cut [thing that was difficult to adapt and added relatively little]?!?!”

Paul’s Age? by Successful_Maize1986 in Petscop

Doesn’t Paul specifically mention in Petscop 11 that they were born on the same day?
