Ah, the old "recycler as the first item" run. In for a good one today

[@unfunny5928]

Part of the reason you had a bit of trouble controlling your movement on stage 5 is that there is currently a strange aspect of growth nectar where it applies a speed increase, but unlike all other speed increases it does not apply an acceleration increase. This can lead to your movement kind of feeling slippery, like you're on ice. You may already be aware of this, but I figured I'd make a comment about it regardless.

[@RacesVideos]

that and the worm zones all give you speed increases, can be tough

[@wasabebo8334]

17:36 watching him recycle this when he had 2 nectars, laser scope, and clover hurt my soul

[@RacesVideos]

often forget about that one, still internalizing all the new stuff

[@nightcap._.]

WE NEED A COLORBLIND MOD! especially with the darker stages it’s sooo easy to miss chests, really glad this is being brought up bc its a real issue :)

[@snekuru]

i agree!

[@CassandraCusack]

that was me in the chat !! i'm busy this month but i'm absolutely gonna be working on it. it's something really important to me !!

[@jayr00d11]

​@@CassandraCusackIf you do make/finish it, please send me the info. It is a real struggle

[@General_C]

Same here, I've got a colorblind friend myself who'd really benefit from this.

[@centipedemike]

I love the idea of u going in a full essay nerdy video, I love those types of videos... I watch these type of videos even if I dont understand the game... Days ago I was watching a random guy talking about Jhin full attack speed with a specific rune... BRO I DONT PLAY LEAGUE SINCE 2019 BUT I LOVE IT

[@alexcat6685]

12:39 yeah a common issue with legedary items is, the Devs forget their rarity and how that balances out their immense power, so they should have immense power to reward going for Journey.(out of any item they should be the ones the Stack the best because you'll only likely get atleast 2 in any run) Symbiotic Scorpion: 100% chance to apply 2(+8 per stack) stacks of Permanent Armor reduction.

[@AliakseiXP]

I know race doesn't read comments on his vids cuz he just streams. But wanted to say I love watching your podcasts haha. KZbin recap revealed that I'm in like the top 100 viewers of this channel, so yeah keep it up with anything I guess, I'm a fan of it.

[@RacesVideos]

you'd be surprised, i read every comment (✿◡‿◡)

[@CacoPalminhas]

Yeah lol, he reads everything 🤣

[@CassandraCusack]

hey that was me saying i was going to work on a mod for assisting colour blindness and low vision. i'm like in the process of learning to code so that i can get that done because it's genuinely really important to me. i have a lot of ideas for configurable options in mind that are gonna be a lot better than just a binary mod is on or mod is not on thing. i hope to get it all done before too long

[@RacesVideos]

I very very much hope you figure it out! Dm me if you get progress on it or finish it I’d love to make sure people get their hands on it

[@thomaseffley4981]

Blessed to be early to a race run. No echo tho so only a 10/10

[@borb43]

4:31 this used to be the case, but since then wolfo has removed all gameplay-altering features from said mod (WolfoQualityOFLife i think) its also a pretty cool mod, you should try it out

[@JamesBondBurgered]

I love video essays, I am always down for more of them

[@ravenscrime]

oh my god Race video essays would be the greatest gift humanity’s ever received

[@NielDrabek-r1q]

made a youtube channel to comment this: please please please release some video essays on whatever you want! you clearly know a lot about video games and game design and i could listen to you talk for hours :) . idk how much you care about expanding your audience, but i think video essays by you (whether ror2 specific, covering other games, or about game design in general) would be really really interesting to a lot of people!

[@taostytacos3783]

I love having race in the background and hearing a blind pest or elder and my brain going "OH SHIT"

[@Placeholder768]

Hey race just got my first E8 win with artificer thanks for all your content it was really helpful with my decision making

[@sparky6757]

5:39 This made me realize I haven't even picked Chef a single time in 2 I was really busy when SotS came out and it took me a couple weeks to unlock him, and by then I'd heard how bad he was so I didn't really feel like picking him. Also this was about the time that I found out Robomando had been modded into 2

[@_parafinn_4469]

I don't know if anyone else will understand this but you are the joltzdude139 of risk of rain 2

[@JonathanNormandy]

I hard agree with the be more nerdy guy. I could listen to you yap about video games for hours.

[@revengeofshadow9353]

That 2x chatter is so real. I generally go between 3x to 2x speed on videos lol. But 3x is hard enough to understand so never tried to watch anything at more speed except when it is a part where I want to skip but not jump to another part from the video player.

[@RacesVideos]

I’m about to talk as fast as I can in my videos so you guys can be normal

[@revengeofshadow9353]

@@RacesVideos Thanks that would help a lot :)

[@enderstrikegaming8578]

[@wholelottawhale4103]

What’s that stage completion list mod I want that, that’s super fun

[@wholelottawhale4103]

Ope he has his mods list in the description mb I’ll just look through it later

[@linear1224]

Wolfo has a config option to disable all server functions for the mod, also you can customise the config to contain the things you want in risk of options.

[@NickiRusin]

heck YEAH i want a video essay from you!!!

2:00 thats exactly how i debug my mc modpacks lmao

[@CacoPalminhas]

AAAAAND did you know about the war bonds, crowbar bug? The war bonds just kill the boss in like 3 misssiles because I guess the war bonds damage is’nt recognised as taking the boss below 90 percent, and it deals like infinite damage. You probably also already knew this, but what the hell.

[@EmperorGentoo]

The run after watching this video i got the exact same combo :D

[@CreativelyJake]

as a non eclipse player (so i use the self damage m2 a lot. luminous shot is a godsend oh my god i love it so much......

[@ThePizzabrothersGaming]

self dmg m2 is so good the reset on m1 is juicy

[@DankbeastPaul]

I wish Rex's self damage didn't trigger curse on E8. It's so dumb.

[@leafypalmfrond8938]

The 2x video spirit is great for my lunch breaks or when I have to go to work. And the video won't end in time for me to leave. I macro when I increase the speed to make the video end just before I have to leave

[@leafypalmfrond8938]

I typically just watch a video 1x for the accurate game experience. And then I tick it up to 1.25x

[@ScrapsandSlaps]

Can we get a copy of the essay on boss design?

[@qwp1884]

Hey race when talking with the team at gearbox did host skip ever get brought up? Very curious lol

[@RacesVideos]

They are aware it existed

[@pikator9153]

Isaac newton killed you 19:00 blud forgot the 10% bleed chance with thorns

[@Greennaris_Rater]

How did you skip without spaces? Does the unmitter allow you to do that?

[@JJ-kc2nx]

it was the headstompers since it nullifies fall damage :)

[@OhHeck_Logs]

Have you played balatro? Obviously it's very different but i've really enjoyed it

[@CacoPalminhas]

OHMYGOD HOW MANY COMMENTS AM I GONNA TYPE, but anyway I’ve also started binging your videos since I discovered ROR2 and I really love the content. Ok I don’t think I’m gonna write any more now 😭

how is he still h0st skipping at 21:03? i thought it was patched out. must be a mod or something, if anyone knows, pls tell me

I thought they patched host skip. Is this a mod to put it back in? Or did the devs let it stay because of community enjoyment?

[@JoshyK]

It's a mod called KCCDownpatcher, chat comment and Race confirms at 08:24

[@Buho17]

Ahh i see. Thanks

[@im_incredibly_bored]

Hey race, I'm not sure if this is really that important, but how can you H0st skip after the SOTS dlc? is there a mod that changes the physics or something? Also I don't know about other people, but I would absolutely watch any video essay you made, even if it was about a game I've never heard of.

As a colour blind person myself I find the chests to be very difficult to see on stages like sky meadows, rally point delta, and sundered grove, and would love a mod to help with that

[@CacoPalminhas]

You should make a Balatro vid, rain world vid and when in about 4 years (if I stay on schedule) beside school I’m also making an indie game, so maybe I could send you the beta and you could make a video, if you want? Love the content ( as always).

[@Evermed]

How did you play so long without the faster scrapper. I feel like it makes the game so much more fun.

[@Rap1dACE]

Anyone know a mod to fix sensitivity. It just feels like it has mouse accel and I must have just been used to it, when I played last. There's some setting under sens that is on 100 which I think If I move that to 0, my 1200dpi barely moves at all.

[@efp7247]

wait i thought host skip was patched???? 21:05

I had a glitch on umbral mithrix on this very new update and umbral mithrix made it so my character literally couldnt move or use any abilities. I removed every mod except umbral and it still persisted lmao
