“Like someone in a horror movie”
As ive been watching older videos fir th challenges you did ab a year ago for my own runs on them i had an idea the dark Walker challenge gave me How would you feel about an AAO series hadrian on an endless night with a higher frequency of Auroras? Or in general
I was struggling to find a can opener as well, eventually I found it yesterday inside the small cabin at Miners Folly on day 8 of Misery Mode)
“This body has been explored.” Well, that’s one way to say it.
Bears to the left of me. Wolves to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you.
I have to say, I LOVE the Spence Homestead forge for one reason, and one reason only: *NO. CABIN. FEVER. RISK.* And you can also get points towards staying outside during a blizzard for one of the feat's progress!
can smashed ope n lost 0%, i believe you dont lose can condition from smashing open in Misery.
Once you reach Cooking 3, you can smash cans with no loss of calories. All you lose is the recycled can.
The content creator blindness always gets me 😂 He's looking for scrap metal when he had already got the lantern for that reason
Recording and playing a game at the same time unfortunately is quite a juggle haha
9:45 Fraggles ... ? ;o)
@@Nick1979BN Fanboys?
I’m on Day 6 and I got my second affliction: Haunted Mind. I’m at Gray Mother’s.
Not too bad all things considered! I will reiterate my previous statement/question… are you sure you’re not playing “not really so bad” mode? Seems suspiciously un-miserable.
🥚
I seen u use that stim and I ab tweaked out but then I realized u did it to make yourself tired and it made more sense 😂😂😂 Very happy myself tho i finally survived one day on interloper!!!! Got a desolation point spawn (my favorite zone literally spawn there myself in most runs) and used 2 torches to scare off 3 wolves 8 times 😭😭😭😭 also survived a bear somehow
Me and my father always watched you before you took your break. And we’re both really glad you came back! Right now I hear him in the other room listening to the same episode xd glad you’re back to posting!
That's awesome
Well in this case: Hello Dad!
You know what would make Haunted Mind even more messed up? If it decreased the time it took to get Cabin Fever. However, that would require the affliction to be debuffed at baseline significantly first.
Don't give Hinterland any ideas
@@jpvielleux Hey it IS supposed to be Misery after all 🤣
@@SamusV4 Gonna give poor Hadrian nightmares of cabin fever
It is remarkable how quickly food cooked from recipes loses condition. I've started treating porridge, bannock, pies, etc. like meat and leaving it out in Nature's Freezer (TM) unless I need it immediately. There is a marked difference in the rate of decay outdoors vs. indoors or on your person.
I do the same thing. I wish they'd adjust that a little. If it's cold enough that you need double layers of clothes to not freeze to death inside then your food shouldn't decay that quickly.
@@jpvielleux Agreed. Have a "freezer burn" mechanic or something, but this is too much. My fear is that Hinterland heard someone online moaning about how the new cooking materials were "too OP" on Loper (piffle) and cranked up the rate of decay to compensate.
@@trooperbari I feel like there's room for adjustments with not only food decay but also the length of time to complete certain actions. Some of the times to break down things like furniture is excessive in my opinion. Breaking down a kitchen chair shouldn't take an hour or more. I get that they have to balance things but still.
@@jpvielleux Maybe Misery spoilage settings are higher?
@@Nick1979BN I wouldn't doubt it!
You keep losing zero percent when smashing cans - what’s your cooking level?
Cooking 3 lets you smash cans with no loss of caloric value. He upgraded to Cooking 4 while at Poacher's in FM.
AHA, that's it!
❤
It seems Jennifer is an expert can smasher with a 4th 0% lost. She can apparently smash cans to her heart’s content.
It's Cooking III. I'll point this out in episode 23.
@@HadrianLP Yeeaaahhh this was pointed out to me tonight when I asked on stream. To be fair, I have played on levels where I have always had a can opener well before cooking 3 so it’s not info I’ve needed to know.
I’m on day 4 off a Misery Run and I just made it to Milton Park.

Now… to start where it all began. I’m enjoying my walk through “the vault”.
And it’s finished! That was a fun series to watch.
Well that was rude! said mr bear 🐻😮
24:44 Is that a Misery special that one can no longer threaten a wolf of it's prey? In all other modes threatening with a stone alone already is sufficient to steal a deer or rabbit from a wolf…
I'm pretty sure it "diminished form" wolves don't see you as a threat and are less likely to flee from you
Message for the Warden: @NynahNina Hello Warden [insert Minecraft warden reference] I've DM'd you but the messages couldn't be sent so I've done the B route :) I mainly want to lurk and watch streams (because streams are on discord if I'm understanding correctly? or maybe for notification streaming alerts) so I hope I can still access Discord. If not, no worries! Thanks
I think its really funny there are wolves in this challenge that basically will never get to attack you bc the bear will almost always scare then off😂😂😂 they r really just more indicaors your bear is behind you
Jennifer wanted to wastes some cloth to relieve a few pounds fr fr 😂😂😂
Going back watching our old challenges a I'm going about getting all the achievements on Xbox and all challenges is on of emmm When you left the cabin and said we're playing the whiteout challenge I don't think I have ever laughed so hard watching u fr 😂😂
I hold to the idea that the Misery afflictions should be triggered by player actions or controllable conditions-forcing an extremely conservative play style. I also think they should be available in the custom settings. I’d love to play around with these without having to commit to Misery Mode.
is that 3 cans in a row at 0% loss? is that even possible??
You missed a bedroll in the pipes before crossing over the ledge at the damn
I hope you don't mind the question. You said, the pain induced blur doesn't bother you, and obviously you don't even notice the, to me super annoying, pulsing of the sound. So why carry around all that aspirin?
That is an excellent question, and I'd never mind! It's probably old habit from when the aspirin was actually needed. You're completely right and I genuinely hadn't even thought of it. Old habits die hard.
Good job
Beautiful covergirl
For right now, Misery feels more like a challenge mode than Interloper since there's a hard limit to how long you can maximally survive with the final affliction on top of the other ones. I hope that at some point in the future they make it possible for to survive against all odds, or make Misery more of a challenge mode where you can get rewards or feats from milestones depending on how many days you've survived Ruin for. That, in my opinion, would make Misery much more fun.
The game has thrown five (5) cooking skill books at my Misery run in the space of two in-game weeks. At this point it'd feel rude not to take the hint and read them. I'm going to get Cooking 5 and it's not going to matter in the slightest. Thanks, Sour Stomach!
Misery does seem quite miserable
I will normally read my books an hour here an hour there over a couple days. The issue that comes up doing that at your level of gameplay where you currently are gear-wise is the weight is too much to carry books around.
And that's a cave I didn't know about, or had forgotten about since I typically just run right through Milton Basin on my way too or from the Muskeg.
