Completing the HARDEST and MOST USELESS task in Don't Starve

[@waddlehi]

The best thing about tallbirds is that even actual tallbirds that raise their own children die by the hands of their own children once they become adults. It is part of their life cycle.

[@Antbrat4.0]

BASED PFP

[@jacklansdale77]

ngl most of the natural born smallbirds I see get killed in their teenage years instead of reaching tallbird adulthood and killing their parents.

[@Quackington07]

My favorite thing about it too is that if you don’t load in the tall bird and it’s nest long enough there’ll be like 3-4 children and a dead tall bird or a few pieces of meat from its once was children

[@caoinhnamkhanh2795]

The tallvird parent will murder the child before it even grows to tallish stage, very common thing when you play in a world for a while

[@mageenter]

Spigg gets married and immediately starts practicing taking care of a real child by raising a bird child.

[@kidsto2612]

Fun fact, this was actually done last summer, a couple months before their wedding.

[@arbetaren0798]

"Spiff becoming a parent in Don't Starve" was not the next video I was expecting. And honestly, I'm all for it!

[@TheTurtleGamer196]

The first time I saw my older brother playing Skyrim, he described it as "a game where everything wants to kill you." Playing both Dont Starve and Skyrim, DS fits the description much more.

[@lumonetic1124]

sounds most like rain world

[@PointsofData]

Skyrim is "everything kills you" in the same way all open world RPG games are so that's amusing on multiple levels for me, no offense to him. "Everything wants to kill you" = "there's lots of exp to farm that will throw itself at you" and "everything wants to kill you, except the entire towns full of people and many citizens scattered throughout the land who don't." 😂

[@Super_EpicGuy]

Imagine the first person to nurture the Tallbird through its entire life until it finally grows up, probably taking many tries and great community effort, just for it to *immediately* turn on you and attack you

[@ShiraCheshire]

The answer to "can you hatch your own tallbird" is "yes, but you shouldn't"

[@NysIsSyn]

aaaah my two fav things, spigg and dst :) I love how even the devs (klei) said that they added it because they thought i'd be funny if you grow your own tall bird but it just hates you as soon as it grows up, but nobody really used it so they never reworked it (like the older mechanics) so its still pretty bleh

[@ferociousfeind8538]

W-what? _because_ nobody used it, they didn't rework it? But it'd be useful if at least the tallbird didn't hate you when it grew up!!

[@NysIsSyn]

@ferociousfeind8538 yeah there's a lot of stuff that only got reworked/updated because it was consistently used, tall birds/small birds weren't one of them they might still tho!

[@feyytime5571]

Getting attached to the baby bird and then seeing the KZbin Chapter being called "Spird 1" was disheartening

[@Gatorboy5678]

Spiff not putting the seeds in the beard storage is stressing me out. I’m 99% sure food spoils slower in there!

[@Gatorboy5678]

Same with leaving the garden digamajig in the garden which makes the produce worse.

[@konstralit2105]

1) No it isn't 2) Seeds are rotting slow af, so even if it was, it would be pointless

[@Gatorboy5678]

@@konstralit2105 Yeah but he was also like “I NEED an ice box to feed him!” when he has the beard storage he’s not even using!

[@konstralit2105]

@@Gatorboy5678 But still, Beard doesn't slow food rotting, that's just storage only for food

[@jelicamarkus6329]

food spoils EXCACLTY the same way in wilsons beard the only upside is you can sneak meat past bunnies

[@YanYanicantbelievethistakenffs]

I hatched, and killed, a few of my own. First time i got one to fully grow up it caugt me off guard and... killed me. second one i tried to retame but didnt kill. Nested right in my base. so i guess free tallbirds? died to moose afterwards. the following ones were a bit more of a pastime of me. especially in multiplayer. its fun and i always love it.

[@YanYanicantbelievethistakenffs]

I loved the vid

[@ToastyToastedToasterToast]

Magpie pfp.........

[@LunaWitcherArt]

I have 1375 hours in DS and DST combined, and you have done a lot more in the game than I had the skill and/or patience to do. I heard your objective and IMMEDIATELY burst out laughing, specially considering the length of the video and how many tries it took. This is the best

[@Number_055]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="302">5:02</a> God, I'm older than the youtube let's player now. Where did the years go?

[@sp0onforksp0rk]

honestly i forgot how much I wanted to play dst when I was younger, im watching this while redownloading it on steam since you reminded me of its existence.

[@Samcina123]

I'm glad to finally see Spiff play Don't Starve.

[@modageddon2742]

spiff better not be dissing my favorite food tall scotch egg is the Goat. 1 carrot 2 twigs and some minor robbery gets you a literal superfood

[@Phantal_]

This challenge truly makes you feel like an actual parent trying to babysit a child

[@serazikinator]

I was thinking that the tallbird would be a bad companion, or die quickly, or something like that. But literally forgetting everything you did and becoming hostile? Bruh.

[@DesolateLavender]

They do it to eachother in the wild too, apparently. It's their lifecycle.

[@jelicamarkus6329]

the "varg" you were fighting is actually a varglet: a smaller type of varg with less health and only spawns one hound when it growls instead of five. btw i really enjoyed this video and i wish you played more DST

[@Prazca]

SPIFF DON'T STARVE CONTENT!?! PEAK also <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="90">1:30</a> the tall bird egg can actually be a SUPER helpful food for crock pot recipes since you can make a tall scotch egg which practically is a full health in all stats. i understand what hes saying tho since i think hes playing base dont starve edit: he IS playing dst (thank you comments) so my point stands

[@_Rinastar_]

He's playing DST.

[@Alankao06]

It’s DST because of the scrapbook and crafting UI

[@Prazca]

@@_Rinastar_ so my point stands, yay :D

[@AstralSpiff]

Yeah I just don’t know lol

[@Prazca]

@AstralSpiff very fair this game has so much random shit, i didnt evem know raising tallbirds was a thing

[@Cluelexander]

2 whole hours of Gegg dying repeatedly?? Hell yeah Edit: Love the documentary-like commentary between scenes lmao

[@taiscommentingaccountusedf1908]

The use of tallbird eggs is in the Crockpot It has one of the highest value recipes in the game And I think using something for a completely useless task instead of it's best use also has comedic value

[@thatoneguywhoworksatjoespl9701]

I did this all the time when I played this game back in the day. It's the only reason to ever build walls, to protect the little guys from hounds before they grow to be a smallish tall bird.

[@ЛихойСемёнЪ-б6н]

I like the editing style, especially the pseudo-documentary style. It's nice to see that you continue to experiment with presentation.

[@FBIAgentRC-]

Literally one of my favorite games of all times. Like I’ve got 9k hours across all games since 2013 and now my favorite guy is covering it (Pog)

[@Ralsestial]

Oh my god, this title just brought back memories of a server I play on a lot There was one time where I logged on to someone hatching like 20 tallbird eggs at once, it might have been more even. We all thought it was funny and helped them out with it, but eventually the player doing it said they had to "be right back" and left us with their hoard children for around half an hour I think we had them fight the Eye of Terror for us and not all of them died, somehow

[@SuperSone]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="92">1:32</a>, if you consistently kill tall birds, then it's more than worth it for two good big meats and tall scotch eggs. It's just that tall birds are too out of the way with their spawn locations so your time would be better spent elsewhere, even if you have a beefalo.

[@BorinBoi]

i just started playing dont starve about a week ago and see this. legendary

[@thechickenbucket7689]

Everything kills you within the game while slowly killing you irl by wasting your life

[@Leonagraphy]

Yeah it’s awesome

[@imjustanoob.]

I've raised like 5 smallbirds in a public server once in the middle of winter, one grew up and two others players decided to kill dfly and I went along, whoever had the panflute didn't use it and they all became cooked morsels.

[@AxoPearlEdits]

HECK YEAH!!! this is one of my hyperfixations so im really happy to see more content of it- PLUS ITS SPIFF >:)

[@caoinhnamkhanh2795]

Someone said his pc is good, therefore lag compensation doesnt affect the game much but clearly there is a delay between attack animation and also hits registering/delay in his movement to dodge things

[@wittkopdotzgaming]

"I'm old now at 24" Never has Spiff sounded more relatable before xD

[@daniellemurnett2534]

Unlikely as it is, I really hope Spiff does more Don't Stare (Together) content. This was a blast, I want more

[@CliveHandforthTheCalendarMan]

I know it’s ‘Tallbird’ but when I say it’s name or read it in my head it’s ‘Tailbird’ and immediately I know it’s wrong, and I still haven’t been able to say or read ‘Tallbird’ even though I know it’s name is ‘Tallbird’. It ALWAYS comes out ‘Tailbird’ and I dunno how to fix it in my brain. This also happened with Pipspook! I totally missed the p and read it as ‘Pipsook’ and while since then I have learned it’s spook not sook sometimes I still mess it up.
