Spiff always gave a patient, down to earth, kind energy, and is really good at explaining even the most complex things he does in games, so it made sense he was an assistant teacher for kids with disabilities at one point. I wish more teachers were like him, especially for younger kids. Even the way he deals with chat getting unruly feels fair, he doesn’t really yell at chat ever and still laughs when a good joke is made.

As someone who has some learning difficulties in school due to mental illness, not to the point of always needing an assistant.

Im sure the students you helped are grateful, thank you spill for your work as an assistant. :D

Just want to say thanks for getting me into this game Spiff, got it a few days ago after seeing this video and blasted through a lot of the mountains. Just did The Great Bulwark myself, took an hour and 40 minutes and I spent the last 500 feet with no ropes left (the higher I got the more anxious I got so I used more ropes) so I could have easily lost it all. I'm so stressed but also so proud of this, good luck if you ever decide to come back and summit it yourself

Man, just watching this game is enough to make my ass clench, I can't imagine actually playing it. Spigg's got strong balls.

[@antares5097]

various things you can do/use to make climbing easier: go back and collect the items from any stages you missed beat the speedrun times for all bouldering levels spamming right/left click over and over will repeatedly throw your hands in front of you. what the game doesn't make as obvious is that this adds momentum every single time you click. it can extend the range of all of your moves. by the time im getting to ymirs shadow i have over 20 rope, a passive climbing power boost (permanent), over 10 coffee and a lot of chalk (cant remember the exact numbers off the top of my head)
