This Game LITERALLY Drove me INSANE

It happened, it had to happen

Always fun watching new people play this game as a veteran. Certainly survived far longer than the average newbie so far :D, good job! I will leave a tiny tip though. Rabbits are one of the worst food sources in the game, try messing around with a bird cage instead, figure out how it works, feed a bird various different things.

[@Moss_Dude]

yeah I was hella impressed when I saw him actually kiting the crawling horror, and pretty well too! If he just had some armor..

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you so much!!! I always consider myself bad at games so that's very sweet of you, also I can see why being a veteran at this game, is very very fun to play Also thank you, I think I mostly end up eating mobs I kill for meatballs haha so that makes sense, thank you again! I'll look into the bird cage

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you so much! I know haha I really need to keep armor with me, I will definitely do that!

[@nelson4225]

Armor is a very inportant cornerstone in this game, make a football helmet with 1 pigskin and 1 rope and you will be way more confortable fighting nightmare creatures. Nice gameplay btw.

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you! Yeah I heard how important armor is, Im just not used to it so I forget, but I will 100% try to always have armor on my inventory

[@carp_piratebird]

dude the art/model for ur little guy is amazing!

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you so much! ❤️ Made it myself

It’s been nice to be able to watch a new player learn the game and experience things the dev-intended way rather than just be told what everything does, this has been an enjoyable playthrough to watch so far and you’ve been learning at a fairly good pace. I do have a few tips, some more cryptic and some… not. Tip 1: I would recommend checking Glommer’s Statue every night or two. Tip 2: I would recommend fighting less powerful creatures first to get the basics of combat down before trying to fight Giants or Clockworks. Tip 3: The Ice Fling-o-Matic does not discriminate when it comes to extinguishing heat. Tip 4: Nitre isn’t completely useless at this point in the game. Tip 5: Wilson’s beard provides heat, but can be shaved with a specific item.

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you so much! Is fun to experience games for the first time, and since I didn't play many games growing up I have a lot to catch up on haha Thank you so much for the tips I will keep them in mind, thank you for keeping most of it ambiguous ❤️

[@liheia1884]

"It looks exactly the same" hjkdfhds love it. Hilarious as usual gebbu! And kudos on surviving that, you were doing great at fighting that first nightmare creature!

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you Lih haha they do look the same I'm not crazy ... Or .. technically I am based on the title of this video

[@liheia1884]

@@GebsPlays To be fair, if you watch your video again, it did heal you. Is interesting cause I didn't knew this, and honestly I could use it for an emergency lul

[@GebsPlays]

Oh it did?! I mean yeah... I knew that..... I was healing.... Of course

[@Moss_Dude]

I mean, it IS a potent healing item, about 40 health each lol

[@GebsPlays]

I rewatched the video and yeah that was very strong, good to have in mind

[@alangreene5776]

Thats an insane avatar you got there lol. It looks amazing with dont starve content

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you so much!!! I did it myself so I'm glad you enjoy it ❤️

[@sledermonster5781]

I have got don't starve sometimes ago, it's really fun, but there is one thing I'm quite confused about, wtf does hitting nightmare creatures with melee weapons cost durability? Like, there nightmare, the things of your imagination! aside from weird shadow music going on I believe I an a few others share a tedency where the moment I'm on like 30-60 health, I manage to survive up to hours, soloing legions upon legions of nightmare creatures for shadow chester without getting it, yet for SOME reason, if my health is anywhere else, I'd instantly die to something idiotic like a damn cactus or something because I forget to check my health. Like I once died to a flippin bee, not even the killer bees, not even a single one of their hives in sight, just a normal one alone in the winds. I also realized I've got no skill at swimming or rowing boats, I died in the waters once, twice, proceeded to run into creative mode in a seperate world where I try to see how some certain items work or practice kiting bosses, and for some reason, I could not row for shit, like I spend a few hours on it, big waste of my time, and I still died within the first few minutes, the crockpot things confused me a lot, I must confess I pulled up the wiki as I only found the handbook once and died soon after. anyways, I kept making monster lasgna and could not get anything else, like its good, but it drains your sanity. Btw I'm playing webber never first chracter never changed(which I should've done), and beefalo taming is so hard.

[@GebsPlays]

Oh it does sound very stressful and I assure you I won't go near water haha I can relate to the pain, it is a very hard game to get the hang of definitely, but I don't take it too seriously so I have fun even when I die haha

[@kirangokin7444]

"and that's the moment he knew he f*cked up" xD indeed spider galnds and glommer's goop they look very similar when you don't pay attention. your journhey through spring almost ended up in a disaster, but the touchstone and the flowers saved you... for now >:) because say hello to the main challenge of spring for begginers: sanity. where winter and summer makes you deal with cold and heat, spring is the wet season, and except for 2 characters, most characters of the cast are vulnerable to being wet. wetness is a very sneaky hasard as begginers don't pay attention to it until it is too late. wetness makes you freeze, makes you drop your tools, but above all it drains your sanity. and it drains it FAST. sure you can dry up in a tent, but it wastes tent utilisations and your character will start losing sanity even when a little wet. unbrellas are useful when it is raining a little, but during the huge and long downpours of spring, they're not sufficient and you need a better gear to stay dry (hence why it is very important to kill deerclops during winter). to help counter sanity drops you can cook recipes that have a higher sanity value than meatballs. but you can also cook green and blue mushrooms. mushrooms are a good sanity source rather than flower because flowers don't regrow unless you plant the butterflies with a bug net. and here is what happens when your sanity drops below a certain level: say hello to your friends of the dark, the shadow creatures. they only start attacking you once you get below a certain threshold of sanity, but once it's done, they will pursue you for an insane (lol) amount of time, even if you regain enough sanity. the round ones are slow and the slim ones are fast, but both have the same kiting range. to get rid of them you must either run for a long time and regain sanity or kill them like any mobs. they're quite easy to kite but they hit hard and can swarm you pretty fast if you don't deal with them (and once they're on your ass you cannot sleep in a tent to fend them off, and they will continue to drain your sanity if they're close to you). the easiest is just to kill them, as they drop a very important resource for magic. being insane and farm the shadow creatures is even something good players struggle to do because we know the tips to not get insane easily, so beasically once you know how to deal with sanity, you just tend to eat raw green mushrooms to farm these guys xD gg so far! you're doing very great! courage for the next ;)

[@GebsPlays]

That's insane ... Literally... But yeah it was meant to happen then specially since is a season thing, that makes a lot of sense, hopefully I can stay alive through spring then even unprepared haha, thank you for the tips, I'll do my best!!!

[@i_am_umbra]

you can attack with f and it auto attacks the closest creature its very helpful when fighting the sanity monsters, just bait them to attack and as soon as they end their attacking animation hold f as they can spawn near you so you can attack them more than once

[@GebsPlays]

Oh thank you for the tip! I was always scared of hitting friendly mobs like that but is only for hostile I think so that's good

[@i_am_umbra]

@@GebsPlays It doesn't work on friendly mobs, you need to press CTRL & F in order to hit friendly mobs like pigs etc.

[@STICKYArt]

lol this looks like fun!

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you sticky! It is a fun game, punishing but fun

[@Moss_Dude]

I'd recommend learning about greencap mushrooms and cactus flesh if sanity is this big of a threat to you lol

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you! I'm sure theres so much I missed and so much to still learn, I'll do my best!

[@Moss_Dude]

@@GebsPlays No problem! Just be sure to cook them first! Drying racks are also a good investment for sanity management.

[@serenadebleue5292]

Haha the first real experience with insanity and shadow creatures xD Not gonna lie, i was sure that it was the end of this world with how short the video was! But praise the touchstone for giving another chance xD You did great at surviving ! Haaaa the gommer good xD yes pretty easy to take it as a spider gland ! But you can do a few neat stuff with it :) Now with all the flowers you picked, i hope you are ready to replant them with butterflies, otherwise it will be in deep trouble next time you need them xD

[@GebsPlays]

It had to happen at some point ha, next time I'll make sure I have armor with me Thank you for the hints! I will be careful

[@serenadebleue5292]

@@GebsPlays honestly with how great you are doing I'm sure the rest of the adventure will be fine ;3 !

[@GebsPlays]

Thank you so much ❤️
