Becoming the BEST at the HARDEST BACKROOMS SPEEDRUN

ok props to spiff for actually making an affordable merch store. Maybe it's just because he's still a growing (rapidly!) creator, but those are some of the most fairly priced, if not cheap, merch I have ever seen. will definitely buy.

[@Lunar_Angel7]

And the good thing is nothing will be limited

[@Blue_910]

Maybe this is a shot in the dark, but I think most peoples Merch is really expensive because they use smaller businesses, and businesses that have ethical buying, better quality fabrics, etc. it’s okay if spiff doesn’t want to do all that, but just a thought

i love how good-natured he is about speedrunning/getting records. if someone beats his time he takes it as a good thing; it's both an inspiration for him to improve his own run, as well as encouragement for the broader gaming community. he's very community-oriented and humble and it's refreshing to see such a down-to-earth and genuine content creator on the platform

I'm the sound & music guy for this game!! I've been avidly watching your stuff since WAYY before I worked with Fancy on the audio. It's absolutely surreal seeing my favorite speedrunner play the game, let alone enjoy it! Just you wait until the Part 3 update. >:D But genuinely tho, thank you for going above and beyond with this and making my week. Always looking forward to future uploads from you. Now, to binge the rest of this video alongside some candy!

About the Doors update, there is actually a secret room you can get to after door 50 which, if entered, transports you to a secret mode. The mode is 1000 doors long and has different enemies + it’s styled after the game that Doors is inspired by. It’s pretty easy to find guides on how to get to it on KZbin, and I think it would be a neat challenge!

[@BoldTint]

What doors was inspired by? Spooky's jumpscare mansion?

[@totallynotarobot8607]

@@BoldTint doors is inspired by another roblox game called rooms you go through a bunch of rooms and there are a few monsters which will try to get you and you have to do specific things to not have them attack you much like doors tbf that game was probably inspired by spooky's itself but if you look at rooms gameplay youll see that it and doors are VERY similar, just with different settings and monsters

There are a lot of myths surrounding sleepwalkers, since people have been afraid of them for centuries. You can wake them, though they may be disoriented and potentially have a fight or flight response and lash out. It is best to gently guide them to a safe place or back to bed.

Given the Philza clip at the start, there is a distinct chance he has seen slimecicles video on backrooms and that's how he was introduced to it. And that means he knows the insanity

[@foxglove1826]

Some backrooms things that no one cares about: the stuff you drink isn't coconut water, its actually almond water, something extremely important as it helps with sanity and is the only drinkable liquid in the backrooms (most things like random water is questionable at best, and will probably kill you). Almond water stops the wretched cycle, where someone stops being human and becomes a backrooms entity themselves. Another thing is that the big moths are actually female death moths, and the smaller ones are probably the male death moths, and the females are massive and can kill you, where the males are basically harmless. Also, the "end" of the game isn't actually you escaping the backrooms, it's another level, i think level 7 but not sure :)

Congrats on your engagement! Excited to see your marriage% run!

[@KatLuff]

38:00 I don't know if there's a more precise scientific term for this, but in dog training we call this "Latent Learning." The idea is that if you're struggling with something, your brain will subconsciously still be thinking about it while you take a break, and when you come back to that thing at a later time you'll have more success than you left off with. That might be a day or two or it might be months. For example, a few days ago I brought back an exercise which I haven't worked on with my dog I'd say in over six months, and not only did she immediately remember what we were working on, but she was having more success with it than we had the last time we worked on it. People often think the best way to improve at something is to practice over and over again but there really is great benefit to taking a break and coming back to it later, especially if it's something you're struggling to have success with or improve. In dogs at least, studies have shown that dogs who work on a skill once a day for only 2-3 days a week, learn those skills FASTER than dogs who work on those skills multiple times a day every day.

[@JakkuTheMagicalCattu]

My whole family are sleep walkers and have some pretty hilarious situations and story's, though my niece seems to scare the shit out of me most times she does sleep walk. She makes no sound, looks like she's possessed and no shit in my ancient ass house when she stays round having a 4ft 6 stare at you from a long ass hallway only to sprint at full force at you gets me 70% of the time and I get knocked over because I'm disabled af. Got labeled as a weird uncle who lays on the floor at night until it was later explained by my brother on why I was on the floor looking scared lmao she's never looked so guilty before gave me a laugh.

Actually there is no reason not to wake someone up while sleepwalking. Although most of the time it is best to just lead the sleepwalker to bed (due to potential grogginess making it harder to walk to bed) there are some cases where you might not have a choice, in which case you should just wake them up as nothing bad will happen to the person if you do.
