i love how much personality this speedrunner has, seeking out their favourite fish to use in a skip that could use any, causing a glitch that does nothing but amuse

[@archerelms]

I love this about certain speedrunners. It's especially common to see for more exhibition style speedruns too, like GDQ, but some speedrunners are willing to do it in basically every run. One example I know pretty well is SmallAnt doing "XD Skip" in Super Mario Odyssey, which saves zero time and is a bigger risk than the normal way. As far as I know, it doesn't lose time at least

[@lasarousi]

I really like these kinds of runners, they're having fun and confidentially trying to break a record. Unlike some gtaV speed runner that gets dairy when a nobody beats then to the no damage run.

I wasn’t aware of it before, but i had a “best dog” in my last save, it would just grab the metal off the floor and swim up and instantly drop it again, and the teeth always rolled neatly into a little dent in the sand, made the tooth farm so much nicer

[@axolotlgaming9144]

thats a bestest dog

[@joshuaashton1929]

Easiest way to get teeth is with the gravity ball thing. Just get 2-3 good scraps in an area with 2-3 stalkers and wait. You can get several rows of teeth in a few minutes.

[@lzrshark617]

I think I might have one, though I'm not sure which one it is. There's a kelp forest right behind my base, and every time I swim past a certain area, it's just littered with teeth. I now have a storage problem bc I go full loot goblin on any tooth I see, and now they're overtaking my storage

[@AceWolf456]

"This is called Tehx clip and it saves no time" Truly this is what shows you've mastered your game. A clip that if done right saves no time, but if done wrong loses some.

[@ericb3157]

reminds me of a clip in "super mario 64", which can save a second or two if done right, but is VERY hard to do, so most runners will try it ONCE and just climb the stairs normally if it doesn't work the first time.

Imagine the person does this speed run and the sunbeam gets the distress call, comes over, scans the debris then wonders if there is any survivors. Then gets back to base and is like ‘boss boss the aurora crashed and there’s no survivors!’ Then the boss is like ‘captain it’s fine the survivor is right here’ ‘How did you get out of there so fast?!’ The survivor: ‘fish’

[@ebonychan]

there is actually unique voice lines if you get cured and deactivate the QEP before the sunbeam gets there. they claim they can't find a parking spot and turn around and go home, claiming they'll send for somebody else to come pick you up. i think this makes little sense seeing as they had no trouble finding a "parking spot" in the regular gameplay as they tried to touch down before being shot. nah i think a reaper leviathan should have reached up from the depths as soon as they landed and dragged the sunbeam into the grave of the ocean amidst screaming on the transmission. but nooooo that's too fucked up apparently. nothing's too fucked up for subnautica in my book but okay

underrated comment

[@Jeff-wn5sv]

A few more tidbits... 1. Equipping the O₂ tank early not only messes up the death timing, it also actually slows you down as you swim. In a normal playthrough, the trade-off between speed and O₂ is negligible, but speed's the goal here so picking up the tank is saved until after the Seaglide can be built. The Seaglide pulls you at a constant velocity no matter what you are wearing or holding, or what direction you are moving; our speedrunner can equip the O₂ tank without losing speed. This is also why the Any% run doesn't use swimfins, as any bonus to swim speed is negated by the Seaglide's constant velocity. 2. The first time visiting the kelp forest after the coral tube, our speedrunner is already doing some pre-work on the doggo teeth. You mentioned clearing out the bad metal; there's also checking on the presence of good metal, counting the dogs to make sure there are enough there in the first place, and watching to see if they drop teeth during this first visit. 3. You can identify the crates with Seaglide fragments by a scorch mark on top of the crate. 4. A subtle way the death inventory mechanics work in the runner's favor: after cutting a shroom, you're normally given 4 shroom seeds. Our runner would end up with an inventory-clogging number of shroom seeds when flooding the base or hacking deep shrooms, but because he dies instead of simply returning, he is left with only one shroom seed each time (later placed in the time capsule). 5. Casual players can take advantage of the power drain order by building 1-3 solar panels BEFORE building a bioreactor in a base. Power will always drain first from the naturally recharging solar panels before taking any fuel from your bioreactor, making constant-drain items like lights and water filters consume less fuel. 6. Fish skip can be done with any fish, but there is something about hotkeys and the way your inventory is alphabetized that can make it desirable to do it with certain fish. I understand that bladderfish are undesirable. 7. Resources in multiple buckets (i.e. gold in both the sandstone and shale buckets) drain from BOTH buckets when harvested. Sandstone's 8-count cycle is broken when the first gold is taken from a shale.

Speedruns of this game are great for the same reasons speedruns of old games are great. It's a great game that can be broken mercilessly for our benefit in the most spectacular ways. From simple clipping to leviathan power poses. And the PDA being usable in weird positions, which is perfect.

[@BruhFakeAccount]

19:18 “Getting dogs to drop teeth” is something I’ve never thought I would have heard 💀😭

[@Tukaro]

I really appreciate the early spoiler warning, particularly visual spoiler warning, even though the game is like 5 years old now. Subnautica is a wonderful game but "wonder" is a huge part of that, and if someone is planning to play it they need to go in as blind as possible to get the most out of it. Seeing biomes before discovering them yourself can really damper the amazement when the player finally does so.

[@internetdragon7624]

Genuinely, it was such a nice touch I was surprised it was included anyways. I think people sometimes think that age means at a certain point the spoiler warning doesn't matter, but it does, especially in games like these. It's a really good spoiler warning too- if you've played the game, the stuff presented makes sense. If you haven't, its nonsense. And thats a really great way of going about it imo.

[@rena--chan]

the most huge thing in this game is sound design and they fired the guy responsible for it

[@lt_johnmcclane]

I wasn’t aware that people who cared about spoilers even watched speedruns. It seems like common sense that a speedrun will more than likely contain spoilers in it

[@Tukaro]

​@@lt_johnmcclane That's fair, though I approach them in a different way. I've watched speedruns for games I haven't played but intend to, yet I expect only "minor" spoilers. These tend to be a bit old and I've already been spoiled, but a) any% speedruns require skipping entire, huge chunks of the game; b) my memory isn't amazing and I sorta zone out at the end as I'm mostly interested in the tech/glitches used. (Endgame also tends to be plowed through, with the run completed once the player loses control, so final cutscene revelations typically aren't included in these sort of things.) There are entire biomes this speedrun/video skips, so someone watching this wouldn't be _super_ spoiled, but the spoiler warning is more important in this case because "visual discovery" is part of what made Subnautica so enjoyable: Even if a new area is impressive or different in, say, Skyrim or Fallout, it still sticks to an overall art design. Subnautica does not do this, each biome type is extremely different from the others.

I’ve been in the Subnautica speedrun community for a couple years now, was once a runner but I mostly spectate now. I just wanted to shout out Eclypsed a little more. When I started, the world record was around 34 minutes and pretty stagnant. Slowly, new strats were found that took off a bit here and there, but when Eclypsed came in, the world record was somewhere in the 32’s. I personally hypothesized that the run could be brought down only to around 31:30. Eclypsed came out of nowhere, absolutely destroyed every perception we had about what the run could be, and currently holds the wr by almost A MINUTE AND A HALF over 2nd place. Absolutely unit. Edit!: there’s also a great idea for “speedcucked” in this game. The cure animation takes absolutely forever, and dispite everyone looking for a way, we can’t find a way to skip the cure that saves time.

Thanks! I’m always experimenting with things (for better or worse) to try and figure out the best way to convey info in these videos. Always room for improvement, so constantly trying new things.

[@roxannegardiner6327]

@@tomatoanus this was the best speedrun walkthrough video I’ve ever seen, I love how you’ve done it! Keep it up :)

[@PixelPerfectJenna0]

I am crying right now 22:06. I really needed to hear that. Thank you!

[@enejskwhehejkwg3ge]

such a nice dude, played subnautica for a while but never saw a speedrun and never saw someone explain it like it. Also I appreciate so much the spoiler alert, you earned a sub

[@crossbread420]

21:45 this made me cry. Thank u brother i needed this

[@justin_dtm6918]

The transition from the parts of the cyclops image to the crafting image was so good

[@camerongarris9108]

I’m gonna be so honest, I was just scrolling through my recommended stuff when I stopped to look at this video for like 2 seconds and I just heard “Hello my name is tomatoanus” and I’ve never been more instantly intrigued in my life

[@brandon.export879]

The “Fuck, that didn’t rhyme like I thought it would.” Was the funniest shit I’ve heard this week

[@AL-di1fo]

27:00 this editing is just gorgeous. So well done and intuitive to understand

[@natebot08]

22:10 just watching this speedrun explanation when all of the sudden he starts asking if my mental health is alright lmao

[@turtlewithcoffee3248]

Lmao

[@Chungyboi-jk1wm]

21:58 I needed that, thank you for the motivational message

[@gualitymemesxd2107]

I know u will probably never see this but i just want to say thank u . You made feel better in one of the most stressfull parts of my life and listening to someone saying everythink is going to be okey really helped me . I will never forget it

[@JustCallMeQuincy]

Very calming and informative Great and helpful editing Very funny jokes Very nice life advice You gained a subscriber

[@thecreaterXY]

That Mental Health PSA you made at around 22 mins hit me pretty hard. I was genuinely contemplating some pretty bad stuff just before and hearing that out of nowhere made me tear up, even as im writing this now still. Some people might not appreciate those things you say, but you made a difference for me today, and I just wanted to say thank you. Youre a good bean.

[@unflexian]

Hey dog, I want you to know that I know how you feel, I've been there. The thing that helped me the most was being able to talk about it, seek help if you must. I ended up getting professional help, which is literally a building full of people who's jobs, education and careers revolve around helping people like you and me, so don't ever think no one understands how you feel or that no one can help you. That was two years ago, when I got lost. The treatment worked, meds worked, hardest thing about it was reaching out to someone, if you feel you must please reach out to someone who cares about you. Help is the only step forward after you're unable to deal with it yourself. I believe in you, everyone that knows you does.

[@mossymindful]

Was gonna subscribe anyway but the wholesome message mid-video ensured that your channel will also live rent-free in my recent searches

[@QWErwq889]

Been watching subnautica speedruns for a long time and this is the first time I've seen this particular one, AMAZING!

[@ltcmdrstamets]

Man, I just wanna say that I really appreciate the little call out you give about 22 minutes in. The mental health check basically. Thank you for that. It's a nice little gesture and yeah, things been a little rough lately. I kind of needed to hear that. Thank you dude.

[@carter.valentine]

for the first time since i've started watching your content, my life has been going up and i'm happy but despite this, this emotional cut in hit the hardest of all knowing how much your speeches helped me keep my head up when i felt like there wasnt a light at the end of the tunnel. incredible video on a super cool game and speedrun, thank you for the amazing content as always

[@cheezecak3778]

first time watching one a video from this channel and I'm really glad I did, mentioning that not all feelings last forever really hit me as I've been going through some stuff. Thanks dude! and I hope everyone has a wonderful day:)

[@wahoo42069]

Oh this is my favorite speedrun! I've been watching Salvner run it for like two years, it's finally time for the tomatoanus take!

[@MrMikopi]

Salvner is explaining like tomatoanus but at x2.5 speed :)

[@championCynthia2348]

7:33 I really appreciate tomatoanus making it plain and simple that most folks that have played the game would notice part of this trick, rather than denying it happens like some other videos would.

[@3RaZoN_CS]

Thx for everything u do for the speedrun community

[@MLGThotSlayer]

Germany is such a great place which fosters such a wonderful community, much love to you from Australia

[@spookeyspookey.]

tomatoanus the whole time:😁 tomatoanus at 21:47 :😐

[@haydenlane-davies4649]

Literally just finished watching Eclypsed’s run after it showed up in my recommended feed. Wild coincidence

[@tomatoanus]

i planned for the vid to release as soon as you finished eclypse's record.

[@keegenke]

@@tomatoanus best content creator, subbed.

[@celdrichanfgarn5168]

goddamn your short motivational speech caught me off guard. when i feel sad i love videos like this and this was something i needed. thanks. good video too!

[@Android480]

I slept on this game for years, thought it was another unfinished survival game for children, like Ark or something. Boy was I wrong. Played it for the first time last year and had one of the most transcendent video game experiences of my life. What a beautiful game.

[@TheDraconicBard]

I'm a big subnautica fan who's lately been having severe anxiety attacks. Just adding my voice to the many thanking you for your kind words :) the algorithm knew what I needed as I lay in bed unable to sleep

[@Naxer2272]

I randomly discovered your channel through recommendations. Those kind hearted words caught me off guard and made my day brighter. Thank you.

[@emilyr-s1070]

I clicked on this video just out of speedrun curiosity and an interest in the mechanics, but I’m absolutely in love with your sprinkled in jokes and fun comments throughout

[@idontwantahandlethough]

I can't even figure out where I am 300 ft from my base most of the time, how does this guy manage to always know where he is?! absolutely crazy

[@mavenYGO]

I just got recommended this video, never seen your channel before but your commentary and explanations are great. Also, I'm going through a really rough patch right now so that middle reminder caught me off guard and got me emotional. It was like a break in the matrix hearing it when I needed to on a random speed run video, thank you and hope you're well too

[@Blariblary]

One major thing I learned from this is that I smell like a lot of things.

[@yoface2537]

The fact that the video is twice as long as the soeedrun is hilarious to me

[@blaykenewling4509]

WOOOO MORE TOMATOANUS Edit: Just got told not to capitalise his name, my apologies

[@kip258]

Normal gamers: "Drop tables." TomatoButt: "Resource buckets"
