I hope this series never ends
me too!
I’d like him to go back and review some he said he’d keep an eye on to see if they ended up as good as he was hoping.
Only we can keep it going. Learn unity and get making souls-likes
everything ends
@@hooverpatty7935 :(
Nostalgaia's dev here. Awesome Review! super stoked you found time time to give it a shot, thanks for the attention sir. Very thoughtful and level headed review. Mad respect for that. A few thoughts: It's funny, I think we're suffering from pretty bad brand positioning in this case. Most people hear "satirical soulslike" and think we're satirizing soulslikes, which couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, the project is a love letter to Dark Souls and an attempt to take the narrative systems of that game and more deeply integrate them into gameplay, explicit plot, etc. The "satire" element refers to the project's narrative goals of exploring our cultures obsession with nostalgia. If you go into the project expecting us to go "hahaha dark souls lol ppffftttt" yer gunna have a bad time. Don't get me wrong of course. ultimately that's our bad if it's not clear.
Really great job with the game, absolutely had a blast with it man.
Well, personally, the review hyped me up. I'm gonna buy it tonight. Great work!
Your comment would be more approachable if you specified which game you are the dev of. 👍
@@TehAwesomer i think "satirical soulslike" makes it pretty clear.
@@TehAwesomer The Last Hero of Nostalgaia. pfp is the dev studio logo.
How to make a satirical soulslike is to have an enemy that winds up its attacks super dramatically and then never actually swings
Trolls like
Elden ring
@@savary5050 fr
It's 2023 it's time to just stop making satire. Subverting things isn't interesting, brave or unique in any way anymore.
@@Plasmafox It's time for meta-satires then.
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia feels like it would have been neat if the more experience and progress you made, the more fleshed out you yourself would actually become as the character, evolving from a stick figure to a proper 'hero'
Though your image doesnt change, the more you remember, the more special perks you earn.
The Armor and weapons you equip start out pixelated and then fleshes out the way you're talking about when you remember it.
Yeah i thought they were going to do more with that transition effect, from pixelated to more modern graphics. Really liked the whole "remembering" thing in regards to nostalgia though, as in the items/parts of the level become much more pretty as you remember, because thats what usually happens, you remember playing those old as games where everything looked super realistic to you and then you go back, or watch a video and realize that it actually looked like old ass shit lol.
Kinda sounds like the Evoland games.
Isn’t second half being less polished than the first half a staple of the souls serie at this point
That's actually a good point. I can't think of the last one that stayed consistent all the way through.
Sekiro stays solid as hell. If you consider it part of the series that is
I found ds3 consistent all the way through imo.
Nice pfp
@@JimmyPizzaDelivery king crimson rules
Monomyth really feels like Arx Fatalis remake I’ve always dreamed about
Glad somebody else thought about Arx Fatalis
Same thought when he backed the dough.
Oh shit haven’t seen that one yet but now I’m excited
Yessss, I'm so glad someone else feels the same
@@gregortokarcik2061 SAME
Really hope the devs are able to bring it to release
I’m just super impressed by the art and animations of Moonscars. Whoever was in charge of that should be incredibly proud
Moonscars remind me of dead cells and if i'm not mistaken its on the game pass
What I really liked about Monomyth was the fact that you found by yourself the cooking mechanics, and not having the game tell you everything. These things make it even more rewarding
Please tell me you deleted the footage of us getting stuck on this part for like an hour 15:41 our gaming reputation is at stake here
I cut 90% of it, don't worry
Woah, 2 giants of the SoulsBourne genre colliding 😮
@@believeinmatter they've been doing stuff together for years
Outed yourself
i love when you play together
One of my favorite things about about this series is the developers of these games commenting on these videos it’s pretty wholesome
and they should. this is like really awesome, free advertising. and since pineapple is honest and has a reputation, i think it really helps. not trusting any ads, but if my favorite metallic fruit recommends something, ill consider it.
I second you!
This is exactly what the indie game social space is about. Mr. Tropical Fruit makes an excellenté video promoting (mostly) small/fledgling developers with some DAMN creative minds and buzz gets generated. Thank you, based fruit man.
Same. Reading the devs' comments after watching the video is like its own content.
For the Monomyth at 35:05, I think that’s meant to be a fairy ring, it symbolizes the presence of fairies and can be either good or bad luck depending on tradition.
Wow. That first game uses "Dark Souls" weapon lore system so much better than dark souls ever has. It actually turns the small tidbits on the weapon into a useful way to explore areas you may have not before as well as learn about the game through your own pace.
I'm never more excited about an upload than when I see one of these pop up on my feed. And you're churning these out like crazy! Definitely feels like Christmas
i am feeling just the same. the video has been uploaded 10 minutes ago and we're all savoring it like fine wine.
I could not agree more - such a treat!
I keep rewatching ones years ago 😭
Left skeletor i am right skeletor
Last Hero of Nostalgaia feels like an honest love-letter to an era of gaming that's passed, but just barely. It's referential but at the same time earnest in making those references. I like it.
@@whatsa489 Im insulted that you'd imply I use whatsapp.
Yeah it looked dope
Shut up dude
I skipped that part of the video to avoid spoilers, I'm totally going to try it out.
@@Hawk7886 i really liked it the whole way through
I love watching you realize that an immersive sim, known for the freedom and options it allows the player within the game, is giving you chances to play your way... exactly as an immersive sim is intended to be played... very excited for Monomyth
Monomyth gives an Arx Fatalis vibe, love to see an old classic game mechanic, like the interactions with objects.
Yep, If you pause the video where he says its inspired by Kingsfield, the thing also lists Arx Fatalis as an inspiration. The health and mana bars are straight up copies from Arx Fatalis. Then theres also a whole bunch of little things, like a bone being your first weapon, keys hidden under pillows, the crafting, etc.
Hey Iron Pineapple (and VaatiVidya), thanks for trying out the demo and sharing your thoughts! BTW, an "infinite shield lift trick" (as well as a "double shield space launch") is fixed by now. To anyone interested - feel free to play the demo and share your feedback! We are "sharpening the concept" at the moment and preparing to work on a full game.
Since you enjoy picking up stuff and throwing around stuff so much, did you ever play 'Dark Messiah of Might an Magic'? Very underrated game
whyd you fix the fun part lol
if possible you could implement an option to enable the infinite shield lift. Really funny mechanic
sad the fun is fixed :c
Hell ya, stay on the grind. Don't release something you and your team don't enjoy.
Wow Monomyth looks so cool
I highly recommend looking into Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic if you haven't played them already.
Hot Tip, you can completely ignore the story in Arx Fatalis and kill most if not all the NPCS and get instructions on what to do to complete your "actual goal" through the books alone
I almost recommend playing that way because it feels a lot funner than how hand holdy the base game is.
Also this was a pre-alpha Kickstarter demo, so the full game will be even better.
@@aryantzh2028 It would be illegal if he did not say it was a sponsorship. He'd get fined, and YT might kick him off
@@aryantzh2028 I mean he literally said the combat is pretty barebones, which yeah it looked like it, and he also implied he was disappointed there were no stealth mechanics when the enemy didn't react to the bottle he threw.
Otherwise, if he liked it then he liked it. Can't expect him to make stuff about the game that's bad if he didn't think anything in it was bad.
Also it's supposedly an Alpha or Pre-alpha version of the game, so his opinion on it would naturally be less harsh than if it was a completed product.
Since I'm guessing you have a negative opinion of the game, could you name something in the game you didn't like?
Everything else we saw from the video is stuff that many could figure out on their own, highly doubt that he "knows everything about it because the devs paid him".
I'd put your torch and pitchfork away unless you got proof that this is both something the Monomyth devs do and something that Pine would agree to, such as him accepting a similar deal in the past.
In addition, as Ellie said above, it is illegal on RUclips to not disclose a sponsorship deal, and has been for years. Google "RUclips disclosure of sponsorships" and look for the FTC guidelines if you're interested.
I'm sure that some people do it of course, but I don't see why Pine would play with fire like that when he could just acknowledge a sponsorship as he has done many times in the past.
@@aryantzh2028 Or he just... likes it? I feel like if it was a payed promotion he would have mentioned that this was was an early pre-alpha build that's missing a lot of features and polish.
I think you're just being a bit too cynical.
"Togethaaaah" at 6:35 is most definitely a reference to Rykard
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia was a pretty good game - I loved the remembrance feature and wish there were more NPC questlines that relied on that.
hopefully Coatsink continues and improves on the next sequel (I hope) of this game.
Edit: hey they are making a DLC for The Last Hero of Nostalgaia called "The Rise of Evil" I'm super excited for it.
He be CRANKIN' these out and I LOVE it.
Man so factual, theese have been poppin more often and i fkin couldnt be more happy

@@13irockasanassassin I hate that I actually understand this gibberish. God help our language lol
i know right like i expect like maybe 5 a year but now its like every month
you can count on it ;)
monomyth is like an incredible throwback to arx fatalis. With all those little gimmicks you liked, absolutely have to play though arx fatalis. It's basically monomyth but AAA game level of polish.
I don't know if you've played it before but dark messiah of might and magic is a definite must as well (and worth playing a few times for the multiple gameplay styles and endings).
Exactly, that's what I thought, looks almost like Arx Fatalis...
When I saw him baking bread I immediately thought "Oh, the devs definitely played Arx Fatalis"
I came here to mention those two games! If Pine likes Monomyth this much, he would surely fall in love with Arx and DM.
@IronPineapple, if you read this, do look into them! You won't regret it!
No doubt, the bone as an initial weapon and way objects are moved around were already sus but when he started cooking bread I knew it was heavily inspired by Arx, not fromsoft
just little fun bit of trivia dark messiah of might and magic started life as arx fatalis 2 but ubisoft had the developers rebrand it under the might and magic franchise
monomyth looks amazing, the level of detail in everything is crazy
i got this recommended to me recently and i'm in love, i'm currently binging all the other videos in the series, it's not only very entertaining but has also helped me discover some interesting game suggestions
If Monomyth was made 20 years ago the developer would probably be a Triple A studio by now. The game gives me nostalgia somehow, the guys making it know their stuff.
Damn sometimes I wonder what taking a hard drive with a few dozen of these modern no bs no internet required games back to the late 80s or early 2000s would feel like hell throw in a full pc and see how the heads explode.
I felt that exact same way watching it. I dunno what it was, the layout, the mechanics, the objects... just felt like I've played it before, back when PC game boxes were the size of boardgames.
@@erueka6 imagine doing that, then you go back to the modern days and see the games that are inspired by the ones you took to the past.
I feel like Kingcom Come: Deliverance is the modern equivalent of these sim like rpg's.
@@MasamuneVIII nahhhh. The game is okay I guess but if your playing on console the lockpicking is borderline impossible. Though to be fair I didn't give it the best shot since I littlerally could not lock pick with my controllers
WOW mine souls end up in one of Iron Pineapple's video. I made this game during weekends for fun and i never thought it would go this far. Thanks for playing! You made my day!
So insipred by the video i tried out moonscars, which was an enjoyble experience to me but after a few days i was browsing through steam and got a game recommended to me deeming it similar to moonscars so i got since it was literally 1 dollar bc of the sale it's name is Skautfold: shrouded in sanity
what i can say about it is that it has a really strong atmoshpere of mystery and if anyone likes the sound of a castlevania, bloodborne crossover i'd recommend the game
give it a shot!
This game has been on my to-play list for a long time now, I don't even remember how I first heard about it, but it's nice to see someone else mention it!
@@mwep415 the Skautfold series changes up genres with every game, Usurper is a pretty decent Metroidvania if you're interested
don’t know if this he’s already tried this one, but “Tunic” is an absolute gem with punishing combat, a cryptic lore, dodge rolls and stamina-based combat. he should definitely try that one out
ruclips.net/video/9KARY5ocvKo/видео.html
In this video he already play it
@@ary7633 oh man i didn’t know, great!
Its been covered
Tunic was very fresh
I just want to give credit for that intro, it was so crazy and felt so suited to the type of content you make. I loved it and hope to see more of it!
"it feels like the beginning of the game got more attention and it was decreasing in quality as I continued" the truest Dark Souls experience
I can't stop WATCHING THIS SERIES + the fact that ur content is so high quality IM ENJOYING IT SO MUCH, please don't stop these !!!!
Just started watching this series and I really like what you are doing giving basically completely unknown games a shot and allowing other people to see how they are. I have started playing some of these games like unsouled and loot river since they were on Xbox and I really enjoy them. Keep up the good work.
i like the part where he was so kings field-pilled he just accepted there was no dodge before discovering it
lmao this has me dead
If you liked Monomyth, check out Lunacid! Extremely good atmospheric King's Field-like, though it focuses more on exploration and immersion than Monomyth.
Lunacid rules. really hope they replace all the anime shit tho. it clashes soo hard.
Second this, I've recommended it before but Lunacid is amazing fun
Lunacid is awesome, even if the combat is pretty easy to cheese
Pretty sure he's played Lunacid before
@@aryantzh2028 its not
this is my favorite series on YT hands down. I watch every episode and am excited for every future episode! It makes me so happy to know that you enjoy making these videos and aren't just being pigeon-hold into making these. i first discovered your channel from For Honor... this is an unexpected result of that. (i think imma get your Elden Ring poster for my friend. He's been depressed latley and I want to show him that I care for him so thank you for the obvious great gift!)
I love how open-minded and kind you are, your reviews are honest and thoughtful. This series is so much fun and I wish you the best of luck for all your future endeavors :)
18:17 That attack animation just sold me on this game.
Don't mean to be a downer, however I wouldn't recommend Moonscars to anyone. It's full of game breaking bugs, constant crashes, and has the most inconsistent difficulty spikes to point where normal enemies are stronger than bosses.
@@kirkcobain8487 well it is in the gamepass so why not give it a try :D
@@xob0t806 I got it through gamepass fortunately. I'm glad I did because I would've been furious if I paid anything for it.
@@aryantzh2028 why u spamming this comment
@@kirkcobain8487 i disagree it was fire
now you have to play arx fatalis
I Tried it out it crashed pretty frequently, Not much fun tbh
@@darksteellotus3694 Use the fixes MandaloreGaming has a good video with a beginning tutorial to get it running
@@_dFour_ I'll try it out thx for the suggestion
@@darksteellotus3694 there is a fan patch that fix arx fatalis and made it playable on modern PC called Arx Libertaris. it doesn't only fix the bug but also modify the spell system to be more consistent and easier to draw runes. it's kinda unacceptable for them to sell arx fatalis on steam without including the patch (but the patch is also a stand-alone .exe i think, so it's complicated ) but the steam version is unplayable.
@@garchomowner i think I tried that one but the the game kept crashing. Ill give it a try though.
Its so nice to see how much the quality has improved during the years, I love this channel
Mr. Pineapple, please never stop making these, I’m thoroughly hooked on them.
You should do a video about your top 10 favorite souls-likes. As a fan of your content I’ve been wondering which games you’d recommend the most.
Yeah maybe a yearly recap of the best games he tried
I will never get tired of how The Chosen Undead types on the keyboard😂
I love how you actually give these games a solid chance to show their potential. Great job!
Always love to see pineapple having genuine fun finding and playing one of these hidden gems (monomyth), keep up the good work!
New Eden, the MMO from the last video, has seen a massive surge of new players in the last week or so. They even added a vanity item in honor of Iron Pineapple. It's a cloak with a little Iron Pineapple with sunglasses on it 😂. There's a holiday event going on right now, and a new update coming in a few days. IP, you should definitely do more videos on it, it's insanely fun and they've got some awesome things planned 😁. Not on the team or anything, just someone who really likes the game.
Will just say it's a TERRIBLE time to join in as a new player. The holiday event added christmas elf enemies to the entire zone, which are meant to be grinded for holiday items. Which is neat, gives existing players something to do. But...they're 100x stronger than any other enemy in the zone and will just fucking destroy a newbie. They slow down your movement and do like half of your HP in a single hit. Completely ruins progression and development for a new player
Dumb game design, almost as if they didn't expect new people to join.
@@coolblast3 bruh, you're playing a souls like. If you think it's gonna be a breeze, you've got another thing coming. Yeah, the elves are annoying, but they're easily avoidable, and you learn that very quickly. They kick my ass and I'm max level and have some of the best weapons in the game. I learned to avoid them unless I really want to grind for ornaments. If anything, this is the best time to play because it's gonna teach you that it's not gonna be an easy game and you're gonna have to learn to avoid certain things until you're better prepared. They're only gonna be present for another week or so anyway, nowhere near an issue that should keep you from playing
Just to expand on this, the newest patch that just released have made the elves much more balanced. Making it an even better time to join
As a bitch for immersive sims, I think this is the first time I got genuinely pumped to play the full version of a game in this series. Come at me Monomyth, let's stack some boxes and break ourselves together.
(Also, the feather and jump mechanics really reminded me of breaking Morrowind)
Any idea if/when monomyth comes out?
Yeah, not many games had the feather falling and jump potion mechanic from morrowind...
I definitely got pre-skyrim Scrolls vibes from Monomyth too at certain sections
Dude! I am SO glad i caved in and clicked this video after noticing the ubend self aiming gun you put in the thumbnail. After i saw that INCREDIBLE póster design man i cant get enough of it for real its beautiful huge props to you and the team
This was both heart warming and super cool! thank you for your perspective and being the piggy to test these hidden gems. GG and subscribed
The best feeling an immersive sim can give you is "I can't believe that actually worked!"
Monomyth has Arx Fatalis written all over it. I hope it gets finished.
I love Arx Fatalis
i was thinking the same exact thing actually, didnt really notice it till the bread
@@aryantzh2028 Did you just copy-paste this baseless accusation under every comment that says Monomyth looks cool?
@@kiptheott5932 definitely looks that way
I always wished they'd make an Arx Fatalis remake. The bread making thing and other interactions blew my young mind to pieces back in the day. Not to mention the spellcasting by drawing glyphs with the mouse. That game is one of a kind, only marred by confusing and labyrinthine level design and clunky combat (though that was part of its charm).
Massive props for talking about Hammerfight.
Its literally free on steam too
Iron Pineapple you've got to be one of the funniest people I've ever watched. Love your content, never stop this series please!
The heavy sword spin move at 10:03 is a reference to Nier: Automata. It even has the detail at the end of the move where 2B would buckle under the weight of the sword after spinning it and momentarily struggle to lift it back up
Are you sure about that? Seems just like a standard heavy sword spin to me, but I never played NieR:Automata, so maybe it's really obviously a reference.
@@myrech if there is only 1 single spin move in the game, u would expect it to be a reference to something too
@@myrech Wait, why are you questioning it if you've never played Nier yourself? How would you know if it was or wasn't? Why even bother questioning them then? Just seems weird.
I think you might be mistaken for another gane entirely, because 2B doesnt hold the sword and spin with it, but instead spins it with the NFCS around her effortlessly. As a result, she also doesn't buckle under its weight since she never actually holds the large sword in a horizontal spin move.
@@Davenzoid You may not have seen it because it needs the charge attack chip to be equipped but if you do the charge attack with a heavy sword she spins around at least 3 times and does this little animation at the end
My man - this is easily my favorite series to watch in the entirety of RUclips. And I watch it for free. I have so much respect for you, IP. Thank you for these videos
This is just most of what you've been doing recently and I for one am loving it
Monomyth looks awesome. It's kind of tugging on some of the nostalgia I feel for Oblivion, while putting its own spin on it and really pushing the "immersive" part of "immersive sim".
The swords, clones, platforming, and traps of Moonscars feels very Prince of Persia.
Man i gotta go buy some Prince of Persia games, they are pretty cheap on steam
Dude Monomyth is looking super interesting! Everything from its font, to the art style, to the delightful jank makes that game look like it's the King's Field 5 that we never got. I hope that the developer is making good progress on that game because I am really looking forward to it from what I have seen from this video.
fr
monomyth always gave me really strong arx fatalis vibes and I'm incredibly happy someone is finally making a spiritual successor, I definitely wouldn't call it a souls like but still happy he's covering it because its delightfully underrated
@@alex.real. Baking the bread took me back to Arx.
This game reminds me of Legend of Grimrock a lot
The PlayStation can produce mind-boggling effects.
Already got your other displates
Cant wait for this next one!
That Monomyth game looks sweet AF. I loved Kings Field from back in the day. I'm excited for that one. RUclips suggested your channel to me after I had been looking up Last Hero of Nostalgaia content. I recently bought and then beat that game last night. I really liked it.
As a massive King's Field fan I have been eagerly awaiting Monomyth for so long now, I check the steam page often. Seeing it here and seeing you enjoy it so much makes me happy, like an early Christmas present. I truly hope it succeeds, the world needs more King's Field! (And the Arx Fatalis influence adds so much!)
I agree!
honestly, this is probably one of my favorite series on youtube. i always watch these as soon as they show up, no matter what i might have ben planning on doing. they're just a lot of fun, and you do a very good and fair job of presenting the games. keep it up as long as you enjoy doing these, we'll keep watching.
Thanks for doing these, they're great fun!
i love hearing you talk about games like literally any game it doesnt have to be souls like id watch you review i dunno nier or something like that id love to know what you think about games like that
Monomyth looks really promising and amazing!
I hope they continue the game! It looks really good, I love the immersive sim like the way you're able to cook bread and wash blood off, it's really good!
God the level of interactivity in Monomyth is incredible, its like a DND session where the DM lets you do what you want but you can actually visually play it. Fantastic
that's the immersive sim genre, try out the original Deus Ex
holy shit the level of effort put into this is insane for it being nearly an hour long, well done
that displate is bloody amazing..
"fuck yeah gaming"
Indeed..
Absolutely unreal to see Hammerfight mentioned! One of my secret all-time favorite games that I periodically come back to because it's so unique and satisfying, yet I've never heard anyone else talk about it. I'm not even sure how I first found it.
I seem to recall TotalBiscuit covering it back in the day?
I remember it since it was in a really early humble bundle, never beat it though
love the way monomyth deals with many of the interactions. Baking bread looks amazing.
multiple steps of sensible interactions will *always* beet clicking on an entry in a menue list.
I love Pine and Vaati's friendship. Any time they're in a video together I laugh the whole way through. I also love Pine's appreciation of the little things in games (You can sit in the chair! That's so fun!).
So I'd like to say that Enter the Gungeon definitely has a mechanic similar to that one in Fabular but it's mostly hidden. The more stuff you unlock and the more runs you do in EtG, the more difficult earlier levels will become. New rooms start generating and enemies that previously showed up later start showing up in earlier chambers. It's so subtle though. You'd never know it without restarting your save file. And while it makes the first few levels that much more difficult, your skill will generally increase a lot faster than the difficulty does. so, I think that "punishment" mechanic can work if done correctly enough. And the fact that EtG doesn't out right tell you it's happening also helps.
Another mildly popular roguelite that does this is a little indie game called The Binding of Isaac (lmao). But in that game it happens very very early on, and it also doesn't control like soap, so that's probably where Iron has a problem with it.
@@Kakodoyo111 the Everything Is Terrible achievement also only unlocks once you beaten Mom's Heart 5 times. A mechanic like this where the game "grows with you" can be good if it's well implemented. It keeps the game at a comfy level of challenge and adds variety to the game for subsequent runs. Basically, before Everything Is Terrible unlocks, the game is holding back most of the tricks it has available to add challenge and variety to a run. You're getting a fraction of the room, boss, and enemy pool to ease you into the game until you've proved you can handle it by finishing a run 5 times.
In the case of Fabular, it sounds like the game is a little too eager to flip this switch and say "you're ready for the REAL game now!"
Slay the Spire, has a similar mechanic based upon how many times you beat a boss on a character. You get like a new ascension level for that character which makes the game progressively harder. Enemies get stronger, encounters are less favorable and map layouts are more punishing. I feel like the game getting harder works best when you have reached milestones in the game. Right now, Fabular increases difficulty based upon how quickly you can clear an area. Which on paper sounds like a great way of doing it, but in execution is very frustrating. They should change it to be either more like Isaac and have it be based on how often the player beats a "wall" type boss. or be like slay the spire and make difficulty increases upon beating the game.
MAN Hammerfight was a game that I played a lot in my childhood but didn't remember the name, thank you for making me remember this masterpiece!
Yup, picked it up in one of the original Humble Bundles and had a nice cozy wave of nostalgia seeing it brought up!
Keep checking to see where the next iron pineappble ganna drop
This is my favourite youtube series ever, please never stop!
I love how the openings to this series just get better and better in animation quality. It’s super noticeable and awesome to see.
you're putting these out like crazy man huge props
It’s been 3 long months since an Iron Pineapple video. My heart longs and my soul aches
I used to watch you alot in the dark souls pvp days and stumbled into a comment of yours on a vaush vid of all places and I'm glad that reminded me of your gem of a channel.
So glad you tried out Monomyth! As a Kickstarter backer I can't wait for it to come out, the developer has been hard at work to make it memorable!
These videos are always great in part because pine has such a kind-hearted outlook and is always willing to see the good in something. When something really janky happens, you can hear him hesitate and wait to talk bad about it until he sees more, and he always has something constructive to say even when he didn't have a good time. It's very encouraging to people who go out on a limb and create stuff like this
That's exactly why I love this guy
the intro animation of him slapping the keyboard makes me chuckle every single time.
Omg, I love it so much.
I think I have watched every episode of the steam dumpster diving this is such an entertaining series and you are a fun person to watch keep up the great content
man the devs put an insane amount of thought and love into monomyth its not even my kind of game but i kinda wanna explore and experiance it myself, and i just plain feel that such passion and work deserves attention. yeah, why not, im going a little outside my normal type of game and putting this on the list. these devs need support i think theyre are gonna make epic games this one included!
Monomyty has me really impressed and interested in the game. The attention to detail and little "this actually works" moments are magical.
Hey! Love the videos and the full series! This might be a little too mainstream but I highly recommend Dungeon Munchies if you haven't played it already. Keep up the awesome work and channel!
I love the new segments in the intro!
Can't explain how excited I was to see bread bake
Can't wait until the next episode this is by far my favourite series in RUclips. I like it enough to re-watch episodes on occasion I hope it keeps going
Man Hammerfight is amazing, it's one of my favorite games from my teenage years. Happy to see it getting some love.
Haven't even watched the video (already did). Just came here to say that no matter how many of these videos you will make, they are ALWAYS entertaining to watch. Never stop with this series and Happy Holidays!
I love how in-depth he got into reviewing the first game, probably made that one steam reviewer's day
I’m loving these new intros! Awesome job!
im hooked mr pineapple, never change your content, its 2022 and i still watch KOSDFF
Hey, Hello from France.
i've discovered your videos 5 or 6 years ago with your PvP content, great times. I love this series from the begining and hope it continue for long 😁
You should check "Lunacid" for your next video, a very good "King's Field" like imo
Anyway, can't wait for the next episode and thanks for your videos
I'll keep watching these. They're sooo entertaining! and it's clear you put effort in.
And if I find a game I like, that's just bonus!
Cheers!
I got and played Moonscars because of this video. Good game and it looks beautiful. Thanks for the video.
I’ve been waiting for Nostalgia to go on sale, also thanks for explaining Moonscar, I was really curious about about that that game. When I played it I got really curious why i kept dying after I died a few times.
Please never stop this series, I LOVE IT. Doesn't even need to be Soulslike, you just trying out random stream games is so fun to watch.
I'm so proud of you guys, a lot of these games are so fire, you'd be forgiven for thinking they came from hell
Thank god for that.
Who are you?
