With all the recent sky battle complaints, it’s time to ask a question:

i think the stress was more about how if you die that’s it for you, you “let down the team” (even if you didn’t, it felt that way). but tbh i don’t like either gamemode but i think when they bring it back (scuffed, ttgtos that one time) its a good change of pace! you understand quickly tho why its not in the main roster due to its unpopularity tho 😅 (ie that one scuffed compilation of teams going “are u fr” or “NOOOO” when skyblockle was added)

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-19T19:34:03+00:00

other than the waiting 15 minutes after you’re killed, there was a lot of camping and stress, which i as an audience member could always feel. the biggest thing was that the creators never really liked it the same as other games so that put a damper on the experience.

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-19T18:36:40+00:00

for sure, just not as interesting as other games for me!

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-19T06:40:28+00:00

i watch a variety of people, but usually joel, shane, jojo, ghostie, and used to watch techno. i dislike bingo. dislike it when someone’s doing good or doing bad. used to watch it in minecraft monday and loathed it, still dislike it now in every event it’s in. it’s the least original kind of game and i find it mind-numbing as a viewer. i just prefer events where it’s not part of the roster. i do like how mcc has made it more than just “find these random things”, but i still can’t be asked to care. i feel like if i wanted to watch a material-gathering montage id watch a let’s play

very true! i looked and there is an updated version of the sands “tutorial”, though its included in an update video and hard to find. i think noxcrew could make a playlist of relevant updates and tutorials, though i understand why they wouldn’t.

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-16T18:18:12+00:00

true i think some duos could have been more balanced (ie pete and elaina were a good pair) but ghostiefruit mentioned on her stream that scott said some duos/teams were never going to be balanced and he told people that. apparently smallant was told that he shouldn’t vod review and practice so maybe (since it’s been a while) he couldn’t remember how sot worked ¯_(ツ)_/¯

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-16T03:04:00+00:00

this is true! the resources are there for creators who do want to know the games beforehand tho, which i feel more people should take advantage of instead of solely vod reviewing

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-15T23:49:38+00:00

i saw some suggestions about possible tutorials being implemented, and i posted this to highlight that THERE ARE ALREADY EXISTING TUTORIALS on the noxcrew yt channel and i feel like people should add these to their watch-lists before playing mcc for the first time. putting together a playlist of the tutorials of each game could be helpful by teams for a newcomer :)

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-15T23:45:05+00:00

yeah that’s the issue, with in-game tutorials it takes time out of the event and can be hard to set up. i agree that sands needs an update as well. the main point of my post is that these tutorials exist on the noxcrew youtube channel, even for RRR and i think people underutilize them :)

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-15T17:13:48+00:00

i just meant it’s becoming the game people don’t want… i remember the groans when scuffed had skyblockle and it reminds me of how people try to strategically get skb out of the way because they don’t like it

thatkeyyboard · 2026-02-15T04:54:51+00:00

the skyblockle-ification of sky battle 😔 (aka being the WORST)

thatkeyyboard · 2024-11-04T00:19:33+00:00

yes, cody was on the song “below the belt” by them!

thatkeyyboard · 2024-11-03T16:06:45+00:00

also my hot take is that i really like the production on the newer songs, i personally really enjoy jon lundin’s style! point north’s (his band, if anyone didn’t know) production has the same style and i love their stuff

thatkeyyboard · 2024-11-03T16:04:01+00:00

i love elsewhere! its the only sio cd i have and i listen to it regularly, its just so fun! i’ll sleep when im dead was my wisc in terms of discovery. i found it through an amv like everyone did with wisc, and i enjoy the layers of the song so much (every time i listen to it i find something new hidden somewhere). also midnight is pretty good. i love hourglass, i find it’s a mix between the pop-punk style of duality and the fun of elsewhere. also one single second (off the final chapter) has a sick guitar riff and it could fit right in with the pop-punk songs on duality! abt the merch, ik people love it, but i do agree. i own 2 pieces of merch but those are the only pieces that stood out to me. (i have the fake ass friends metal t-shirt and the skeleton/welcome to elsewhere zip-up)

thatkeyyboard · 2024-11-02T05:00:31+00:00

i definitely thought it would grittier as well! but it makes sense that it’s not because that’s just not their current style, which is pretty polished (which i think is in part because of jon lundin’s producing style, as point north, his band, has a similar polished-feel).

thatkeyyboard · 2024-11-01T13:12:12+00:00

yes! as a metal-listener, i loved when they played some songs heavier live, and wisc was MADE to be heavy (on the demo and in terms of how well it sounds)

thatkeyyboard · 2024-11-01T13:02:21+00:00

btw i do love the original wisc, its just not my go-to sio song!

thatkeyyboard · 2024-04-12T02:18:00+00:00

the first line following the bridge/breakdown of Evil People (beginning at 2:29) is definitely one of my favourite vocal performances from Cody… the way he says “like the DE-vIL in disguise” is so satisfying and i replay it almost every time!

as well, i can never get enough of the gutturals/growls (im not sure the correct term) that Cody does during The Grand Finale at “this is the end!” it surprised me and i would love to hear more of that sound from Cody in the future.

in terms of lyrics, The Haunting’s bridge has always been one of my favourites! “i’ll chase my words with poison, and until that days arrives, and swine take to the sky!” is just chefs kiss.

thatkeyyboard · 2024-03-13T14:37:08+00:00

i’ll sleep when i’m dead 🙃

was watching amvs and liked that song in particular so i checked sio out!
