Can I Beat Spore as the Worst Possible Carnivore?

@@SpuddyCubeEven worse: When you are making yourself thin you just make it easier to avoid enemies and be agile, now try being fat AND have a small mouth. EVEN WORSE: Spikes.

I can just picture it now. Something like: "Welcome to McDonalds; may I take your order?" SpuddyCube: "Yes. I'd like a chunk of an innocent large mammal that was taken from its free life on the prairies long ago and made into a helpless, pathetic milk machine that has its offspring ruthlessly taken from it time and time again--until one day it is turned into mere minced flesh for our sustenance, and roasted by infernal flames.

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it! And it feels good to finally be able to say that I beat it after the numerous times I restarted just to do the cell stage again when I was considerably younger.

[@QT_Kaiser]

You just read my mind@Cube . Im glad to see someone who relates to the finally beating the game after all of your childhood years being poured into the first two stages LOL. Though, as a kid it was fun to watch other people beat it for me and this video gave me that nostalgia back so I thank YOU for making it, and thanks for interacting with such a small comment. I appreciate it. :)

[@DaisyDies]

the way you say goodbye at the end of your videos has made me cry more than one time. i'm not super involved with your channel but i've been stopping by to watch videos you've made for a while and every time i click on a video, joining you for a meal or as something that caught my eye while trying to drift off to sleep to listen to, i find myself engrossed in the story you tell. your voice is soothing in a way i find difficult to put to words, and even when something is tragically difficult you describe it in a way that, while not downplaying it's difficulty, makes it seem surmountable. every journey i join you for is bittersweet to hear the end of and after choosing to spend my time "at your side", being told to go out into the world and bring a little kindness into the lives of those around me, it puts me at ease in a "this too must pass" kind of way. of course, sometimes i'm brought to tears simply because i needed to hear someone say that they wanted to hear my thoughts, or that they wanted me to have a genuinely wonderful day, but it still imprinted on me as something important enough to comment about. i'm genuinely considering just chipping in those .99 cents a month it would take to join the channel, just because of the way these little collective experiences have made me feel, but for now, just, thank you. i'm glad to be around. here's to new experiences on a new account :>

[@SpuddyCube]

I'm really glad that I can provide that sort of comfort for you! I tend to love to watch/listen to things at similar times. Be it going to sleep or having food, I tend to enjoy having a video playing. It's a really surreal experience to be able to provide that for someone else, but it's also incredibly rewarding. There is a sort of "shouting into the void"ness to doing what I do. It's easy to lose touch with the human element behind it. Without feedback, there's just numbers. And numbers don't tell the same story that people can. So even when it's just one person sharing how they felt... Well, it's really hard to put into words just how much that means to me. Genuinely, thank you for just being here. It's already far more than I could ask for, and thank you for giving me a glimpse of what's on your mind. For all of the time and effort spent to make these happen, it makes it more than worth it to hear. I hope to not disappoint!

Two things that can really help with tribal stage: firstly, if you send a gift-bearer to a tribe in the process of raiding you, they won't attack unless you do first. This works even if your creatures have literally zero speed. Secondly, while aggressive tribes made neutral will eventually grow hostile again, befriending them to the blue face will prevent further aggression without being provoked directly.

I usually torture myself with self imposed challenges in spore, however my least favorite ones are the pitiful worm challenge, and slightly less just the regular no evolution challenge. But this? I would never even think about doing this to myself... I appreciate your greater endurance and dedication to this challenge, i now grant you the strongest spore player title

[@HameleoshaDeHoga]

Also fun fact I think you're playing the same version of spore I do. This may come off as surprising to you but I've seen multiple instances of the game behaving differently based on where you got it from, I don't know why it's a thing, but it is. My game also crashes nearly on every death in the creature stage, and it also assaults my OBS recordings with flashing images that seems to be textures of other creatures, though I didn't exactly understand whether or not you could see them in person too, but I don't, for me they only appear in the recordings, and unfortunately I don't think there's a way to fix that, other than to aquire a different recording program... Which I don't know of any that are free, so basically they don't exist for me

[@SpuddyCube]

I've heard that the Steam/Origin versions of the game are a bit different, but that could just be a server side thing... I'm not really sure. As for the flashing images, I was able to stop them showing up on the OBS side of things by playing with the video source. I don't recall specifically what I changed it to, but I normally capture the specific application. After swapping to a different source some time during the creature stage, my only remaining issue was the constant crashing.

[@british_fellow-yo9gz]
