I felt the need to comment about how much I've been enjoying these offline videos. I can't explain how or why I like them so much, but there's something so soothing and I genuinely feel like paying attention to the video rather than just having it in the background while doing some other task.

[@Niavar]

It feels better when he's commenting on the/his gameplay rather then talking to a chat you're not participating in IMO. Makes cuts also less jarring.

[@chritical_ep]

I agree with the bit about paying full attention. I usually get bored about 10 mins into the streamed videos and skip to the interesting bits. The latest videos he's done, I've just watched the whole thing. So good

[@sheep4483]

I like how he can just spend as much or as little time as he wants on a map without chat yelling at him like "attached kekw" "bro just give up already" "fucking annoying just move on jesus christ"

I genuinely can’t describe how much I appreciate that you really put a ton of effort into the maps. Made the video so much better to see low played maps played with a lot of effort.

[@TopOfLobby]

Map 1 is the perfect example of how beautiful beginner mapping can be. There is something about 'knowing what your doing' in mapping that almost keeps you from discovering new and unique maps.

[@Vynthos]

I have an evil reactor down that forces you to time exactly the right time to reverse, then immediately turn the moment the camera turns in order to make a jump into an ice slide :) Started playing last Saturday! Heh.

@@lck0ut348 Thanks! I was sort of experimenting with what reactors do and got that as a result after realising it acts a bit interestingly backwards. Maybe I should keep it going as both a way to train myself to do kacky, or as a continuous project, almost like a portfolio of what skills I learn.

For the sake of clarity we should change it to "mayo slide", as it's reminiscent of how smoothly and cleanly Wirtual would slide around on the floor if his body happened to be covered in mayo.

Until I saw your comment I always thought it was "nose slide" because it had something to do with the nose of the car. So I just realized that it was "No slide" lol, as in you don't slide. Correct me if I'm still wrong lol I imagine I got it wrong because of the way Wirtual pronounces it really minces the words together to sound like "nose-slide"

[@AzureFlash]

I love occasionally showing up in top 5 obscure ice map leaderboards in KZbin videos, I don't know why. It's like I've been an ice nerd long enough for it to be reflected in the world around me. If Wirtual makes a Plastice! series (my home and native land) video I might go insane (he probably would too, because of the maps)

[@feasible]

I agree with what you said in the first map, sometimes - often, I'd argue - maps that are not "perfectly calculated" are more fun and competitive, because there's more variance in what lines can work. You can't go too far, of course, it can't just be straight up garbage, but the trend of obsessively polished tracks has actively made the game less interesting to me.

[@AshrZ]

It should be its own genre called "unpolished"

[@ThatGuyInTheBack007]

Do people really think every map generated by people have to be "perfectly calculated" and call it "unpolished" if it's not?

[@AshrZ]

@@ThatGuyInTheBack007 I mean you could also make it called "jank" which honestly sounds pretty fun kinda like kacky

[@leif_p]

I don't generally like speedrun grinds, but for some reason it's really fascinating to watch when a very skilled player tries to get an optimal time on a 1-5/10 random course. I watch it every time when Panga or Kirbs does it in Super Mario Maker.

[@juanpunchhombre551]

Hi wirtual, long time viewer here.

360 really only refers to a full spin, anything less doesn't count. In tricks (such as skating) it is a goal point that can only be claimed if it has been reached. There is also 180, 540, and 720. It rarely goes past 720; that's generally the max.
