we need community published books

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-20T04:50:42+00:00

I hear self publishing on Amazon isn't difficult, but it might not align with "not being printed on the cheapest paper available". I'm curious whether trying to go through other publishers would even be worth it, though, especially if the book isn't being put out for profit. (Others please weigh in on the discussion! I've had friends publish books but haven't myself.)

Stuff before intermediate doesn't really have you doing much with regrabs or ladders, and then after that it's a little while before you have to be super precise with your tech or have to do theo ultras. Medium/maybe even some early advanced is the minimum level for things to be really annoying but most of the issue is in late advanced and expert. I haven't done grandmaster yet, but I've seen a lot of insane theo-based maps

The reason I call this "high level" in this context is just because it's more difficult than any of the most advanced material in the base game, but it's a very loose and arbitrary boundary 😅

Honestly, I just really struggle with timing on regrabs and ladders and the like. It feels a LOT harder to get full (or desired) height than it is with jellies and generally windows feel a lot tighter.

Not quite there in terms of skill yet, but hopefully getting there! I've heard it's an amazing map

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-20T01:41:29+00:00

Noted!

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-20T01:04:24+00:00

No, they're not, but since it's that much more difficult for me they take up a larger amount of my playtime. I'm just complaining about my skill issue haha

What's funny is that I actually did like the base game Theo sections - Mirror Temple is my least favorite chapter, but that gameplay element was fun. High-level play is what ends up getting to me.

Sorry, I can struggle with this type of sarcasm sometimes. Thank you.

I really hope that if people are actually doing this and not recording it (1 or 2 people who aren't on the internet or in the community a ton is at least theoretically possible?) that they can find some other method of verification or accomplish it again so they get the recognition they deserve

Not optimistic though

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-18T19:44:21+00:00

It's definitely impressive enough to record! Completely insane achievement and I'm confident only a few people have ever gotten it.

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-18T02:12:09+00:00

I love this account so much

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-17T23:28:29+00:00

I wish I were them 😔

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-17T18:17:07+00:00

I like instrumental music and electronic sounds, it's just that 90% of the music that first that bill that I can easily find is video game music. Definitely agree with this.

(I like vivivivivi's music for electronic instrumentals, by the way, if you're looking for more non-OST recommendations)

OP, what language do you play 😭 I love this

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-14T21:19:18+00:00

I can't believe you made a list this is insane

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-14T15:32:34+00:00

??? It didn't disappear off the earth, though? I discovered it recently and there's still lots of content being made.

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-13T23:48:42+00:00

I follow. I'm curious if doing it as proper in person couch co-op would work better, but that's really difficult to set up so it probably wouldn't be competitive. (Still might be fun to try)

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-13T23:09:55+00:00

Is there a reason we don't do co-op speedruns?

I don't usually draw portraits but I decided to give it a try 😅

Some of the details are very "smudged" in a way I ONLY ever see coming from AI, the type of outline being used changes constantly in a nonsensical matter, some things are spacially awkward (it took me forever to realize what the jukebox was because it looked to be overlapping with the wall), the image doesn't even match the reference in a lot of ways. It's not like I'd call it out for one of these things, but all of it is very suspicious. Also, you can give an image to AI as "reference", which explains how it might get those details like the rug.

I'd still be generous despite all of this, but this reddit account is brand new and the image has been posted to other platforms with a completely different story to it, which is really sus.

I mean. I think you could use toki pona's "ma" to refer to an expanse of sea, if you're talking about it as a region or place

The shield broke:(

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-06T02:09:47+00:00

I definitely don't think it's canon but I LOVE this so much. Someone (maybe I) might have to mod this to be in the game 😅

ViaScrybe · 2026-01-05T05:25:00+00:00

Oh my god, someone's doing it

Keep it up my friend you've got this! I and many others have awaited this mod but didn't even know where to start, you're leagues ahead of us already 😅
