Sorry babe not tonight, a youtuber i've never heard about posted a 2+ hour video about something i like.

[@PrismaAce]

CRIMINALLY underrated brother... I am praying to the algorithm gods this shit gets picked up and sent to Terraria's elusive hall of a million views.

[@PrismaAce]

YARDIS MY GOAT COMMENTING???

[@YARDlS]

@@PrismaAce Hey man I haven't finished watching the video quite yet, you can't call me your 🐐 if there isn't a reference to me in some way... Haha, jokes aside, technically speaking if the view:like ratio stays the same (more praying required), it'll "only" take around 60-70k views to hit that 10k like goal, another reason why this video needs to pop off.

[@PrismaAce]

@@YARDlS there isn’t a reference im sorry but brother if it hits 10k we need to fix my dodging situation. you’ll see what i mean by the end of the vid

[@YARDlS]

@@PrismaAce Just finished the video, what a ride! Honestly I disagree with you on the dodging situation part, haha, it really isn't that bad. But... if you are unfortunately fortunate enough to get that big 10k and are forced into Infernum Hardcore, I'll offer you some help with improving if you'd like. Anyway, fantastic video and I'm looking forward to what you'll cook up next!

[@PrismaAce]

@@YARDlS i just started a regular playthrough to get the feel of the game, then i have a fun idea ive been cooking for a while

[@taiyo-alt1360]

I like how it pauses for a few frames just before you die to let you truly reflect on the life decisions that brought you here

[@PrismaAce]

nah actually when you die in hardcore there's lag kinda works out tho

[@taiyo-alt1360]

@@PrismaAce nice!

[@BrewsLament]

@@PrismaAcethat gave me a goddamn heart attack when it lagged at the end of the yharon fight, you were right on top of a fireball when it happened too so i thought it was run over right there

[@MrJFL]

That exo mechs fight was EXTREMELY close. I can't count the i-frames, but judging off what I know, the frame gap between your immunity ending and Thanatos' deathray hitbox ending was probably between 5 and 10 frames, and that easily would have been fatal had it hit. GG.

thank you! really loving the support this video is getting. my next videos won’t take 18 months to make hopefully

[@Master_Cinar]

Truly amazing. You managed to beat one of the hardest challenges in Terraria Modded. I appreciate you. I think you forgot to reforge your accesories. You can reforge them to warding for extra defense. Also in Providence fight Lunar Kunai with proper rouge gear (silent on every accessory) and stealth strikes do better damage. 😊

[@PrismaAce]

thank you! i do have to disagree a bit tho warding sucks with hitcaps, because no reason to tank if you die anyway. i found stealth striking to be about the same damage but this was a while ago things might have changed

[@Master_Cinar]

​@@PrismaAce I recently finished my rouge playthrough and in providence fight i used lunar kunai with stealth strikes and it dealt 10000 dps

[@borb9834]

Hit counters sure does bring back the early days of scal of having a 4 or 5 hit counter on death, Either way. congrats on the hardcore run!, I don't think I'm capable of doing this at all on Expert Death of having endless suffering and pain. byeah. congratulations!

[@PrismaAce]

thank you! yeah the hitcap was inspired by the old scal 10 hitcap

[@BlissedYui]

You pretty much won at Yharon, the fact you even managed to survive past his joke AI and cheap teleport hits is amazing, gg!

Not only is the video great, but you also made a lot of it match to the music which is really satisfying, ontop of listing the music you used, peak youtuber material already

[@PrismaAce]

it always annoys me when youtubers don’t make songlists, and tried to sync edit where possible because its fun to watch imo thank you!

Also don't worry about your editing style being similar to other KZbinrs, you have clearly made it your own style, so keep up the good work ❤️

[@namtieh1]

This is one of the most impressive Terraria feats I’ve ever seen, and from such a small channel. Good job bro 🦈

[@Wanderer12-7]

I am in amazement everything about this, everything is awesome in the truest form of that word. The editing in incredible for such a long video the sheer time it took to make this, the skill you need to pull off what you did is so far beyond me. The emotional impact this had on your life is understandable with all of that. I could feel every up and down and when you got into the more detailed run I was hoping that would be the one. But every fight I was fully invested feeling every hit taken and rage popped even though I guessed that was the run. Because I wasn't sure a random death towards the end would come out of no where and push you down another " Character ark". If you had failed you would have got back up and kept trying, that is what this has shown me. You have forever gained my respect and a subscriber for this incredible feat. like legit this is crazy I got Baldur's Gate and have been looking forward to playing it for months at this point but this is impressive and entertaining enough that you some how got me to watch 2 and a half hours and I enjoyed every second of it. May the algorithm see this for what it is. Good luck and fair seas. :D

[@Wanderer12-7]

I feel like I've seen the cosmic journey of a great warrior, and it was beautiful

[@PrismaAce]

haha wow. thank you so much, really! this is supposed to be my masterpiece, took a lot of finetuning to get my script to have 1. emotional beats 2. enough technical explanation for experienced players 3. an overarching narrative to engage casual terraria players i’ve gotten a lot better at writing and editing, so I’m sure my next videos won’t take as long

[@Wanderer12-7]

@PrismaAce it's always impressive how much better you get at things, especially after doing something as big as this video is

i can only look at this and say: i cooked

[@ElectricVan]

This is genuinely amazing. Loved every minute. Havent watched a youtube video this good in ages. Congrats on finishing such a huge project. The detication, and overall effort was great. I may not be in the exact same boat, atleast not one as difficult and rigorous. But I've been playing an infernum playthrough for almost a year. Challenging myself to improve at building, and getting better at the game. I may not have as much detication, playing maybe a couple times a week, but Ive made progress. I've made some stunning builds, which I never could've done before, and defeated infernum DoG last week. Anyways, I think its really cool to be able to start a major project, and to look back at what you've accomplished. Its fun to be able to relate these experiences, big or small. You also did a great job of capturing the story in an inspiring way. I wish you the best of luck with your future endeavors! I'll patiently wait for what stories happen next ;)

[@PrismaAce]

i just had to drop my infernum playthrough due to pc issues for the time being. hard focusing on making my next video a banger now

Also saw that you beat your first extreme recently and would not be surprised if you went much further due to your insane dedication.
