Hopefully I'll be able to do this tracking as I watch future vods more casually, instead of needing to rewatch them specifically for note taking. It's interesting that despite this session having the most deaths of any session so far, it didn't feel that way by the amount of tilt. I wonder if that's more due to the way in which these deaths happened, or due to Aliza getting better at shrugging off Hollow Knight deaths. Tram Pass also doesn't technically count towards Completion Percentage, so I followed the convention I set for lantern and marked it with a decimal. Pale ore isn't completion progress either. I marked the timestamp, but decided to not mark it in the stats since the nail upgrades pale ore is used on already track pale ore progress. Please let me know if you find this interesting/useful, if you notice anything I missed, if you have ideas for how I could format this to be more pretty/usable, or if you have ideas for other stats that could be fun to track.

Instead of skimming through the vod in 5 second increments, now I'm watching through at 3x speed. I also set-up a custom macro to grab timestamps. Lantern technically isn't completion percentage, so I'm not sure if I want to track it or not. Since it feels significant to me, I've included it for now as a decimal point in completion, unsure if I'll keep it that way or come up with a different system. Please let me know if you find this interesting/useful, if you notice anything I missed, if you have ideas for how I could format this to be more pretty/usable, or if you have ideas for other stats that could be fun to track.

I hate bosses that do that

I'd imagine that has to do with dying to "common" mantis enemies instead of bosses? Please let me know if you find this interesting/useful, if you notice anything I missed, if you have ideas for how I could format this to be more pretty/usable, or if you have ideas for other stats that could be fun to track.

Right now I'm tracking Grubs, Deaths, and Completion Percentage. We'll see if I end up finding this kind of progress tracking too annoying to maintain. For now, this seems like fun project, and I'll see if I can make time to catch up on the other Hollow Knight Vods. Please let me know if you find this interesting/useful, if you notice anything I missed, if you have ideas for how I could format this to be more pretty/usable, or if you have ideas for other stats that could be fun to track. Edit 1: added timestamp for crubfather visit to make verifying Grub count easier Edit 2: fixed grub count from 3 to 4

bro was so chill that they gave a heth back also vilonce does always solve things

Pov a peacefull midnight stroll:

Music is pretty good ngl

So you were into gators since you were a kid huh?

"Why can I hear boss music" vs "What the hell is THAT?!" 😂

WHY😢

1:31:47 _gasp,_ she missed it (bottom left) Lots of progress today! Dream nail is a major milestone, as is rightside city of tears, and you got a decent chunk of deepnest explored. Hollow Knight has this wonderful moment you're right in the midst of when almost the whole game opens up, every area you explore diverges to several more areas, and you're given an almost overwhelming number of options Also, the Deepnest spa is probably one of my favorite game design traps. If you'd came into deepnest more unprepared, having missed the map or not yet having lantern, then you would have noticed that sitting on the spa bench traps you in deepnest. After sitting at that bench you won't escape deepnest by dying or closing the game, and you can't backtrack up the pit, so the only way to get out of deepnest is to climb back out of it through forgotten tramway; which can be quite the endeavor if you're missing lantern, map, or both. Towards the end of your 2nd Hollow Knight stream I actually mentioned the secret wall that could have led to the "trapped in dark deepnest" experience, tho you ended stream before finding it. Probably for the best, lol

*pop* goes the weird stranger I'm the corner!

Those thing are annoying lol

Man, what a freaky game That was a fun watch, I'd love to see you play more thinky games

She thought the hand was gonna stab her

Ooooo. New vtuber to watch. You just popped up in my shorts feed!!

The US when asked about it's various war crimes:

Game name!

I sense that something happened 🤨

Rumbling Rumbling It's Coming Rumbling Rumbling Beware!

Happy birthday

What's up doc?

Bleebus Jesus! I see why they say that

That was so wholesome. Everyone loves Jeff the Shark!

Gator shark sentences you to: void

Holy moly thats a massive badoink😂😂😂

Fimsh

These new hustles are getting out of hand

Aw this is so cute

Reminds me of the first time I played hollow knight

she is HAPPILY MARRIED to cornifer

The true Taco Bell Septic Tank

hmm, I should change by twitch username to something that better matches my yt and discord usernames. I think "T" is too short for twitch to accept... maybe smthg like "T._._.__"? Or would that be strange... Anyway, here's some of my thoughts watching this: Nice job making it to city! That's a major milestone, and I count at least 8 options you have for where to go next for significant progression It was kind of funny watching you heal out of habit when in crossroads, even when you hadn't gotten hit by anything. I think I counted that happening 5 times: at 44:25, 49:29, 52:49, 1:04:21, and 2:31:23 On your last attempt at Mawlek you were about 31% through the fight. Though, the nail upgrade you got is very significant. If you were to repeat that fight with the upgraded nail you would be 57% of the way to beating Mawlek At 1:12:34 there was some discussion about "Hollow Knight-likes" vs general metroidvanias, and I wanted to clarify my thoughts on that. While I think "Hollow Knight-likes" is kind of a dumb term, and I don't think it's at all its own genre, I do think there is a distinction to be made between Hollow Knight inspired games and games that are inspired directly from Metroid. This is most obvious in artsyle, but similarities in combat, difficulty scaling, and emphasis in non-linearity are noticable and distinct from the wider metroidvania genre. 1:22:12 "oh you knew this". Guilty, lol. I like phrasing my suggestions as questions, you could probably notice me doing that in a few places throughout the stream if you were looking for it. Lemme know if it's obnoxious At 1:57:05 I think my message could have come across as more sarcastic/condescending than I was intending. I should have added a "lol" to the end of it Anyway, cool vid. I'm loving your hollow knight playthrough so far. I'm also considering going through some of your vods and catching up on some of your other ongoing games. It seems like Rimworld, Ark, and Raft are the main ones I'm noticing. Do you have a recommendation for which one I should catch up on and join you for?

These tik tok trends are getting out of hand

Aliza is down bad

Still would

Man, i got stuck there longer than you did

Thank you for your service

Would probably be healthier

Actually it's the mountain dew ocean it actually melts real organisms if left long enough in it

😭😭😭😭

It's missing the part about Aliza x Iselde smut

The doll in the back doesn't help

Because chaos is fun
