We shall see how it all pans out. Remember now, as long as YOU ENJOY IT that is all that matters! Wendy Animation with a familiar yet disillusioned guest: ruclips.net/video/7ozRwX35fHE/видео.html
The animation does respond why the heart don't work on Abi, because she didn't died in the Constant and the only reason that she is in the Constant with Wendy, is for sure Wendy made a deal with her uncle and bonded her in the flower.
Don't forget the most important part in the short story animated Jack Carter! Look how Wendy's father look similar to Maxwell (William Carter), which means that Wendy's father must be Jack, this truly confirms and seals the lore that Maxwell is Wendy's uncle
@@MattHew-rq8zw SPOILERS AF dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/William_Carter_Puzzles Here's a short explanation of Jack Carter and his connection to Maxwell (William Carter) The Third puzzle being the most important for this case which has a letter from Jack himself, telling William that their mother hasn't met "The Twins" yet, these being Abigail and Wendy, also detailing that Jack didn't like the city, hence why in the animation they live in a distant cliffside by the ocean. How horrifying it must have been to not only lose his brother, but first one of his daughters (died as we l know) and then have the second disappear into the constant in her sleep where she apparently heard ragtime music playing as per usual of Maxwell related disappearances.
Been messing with the update for a little while now and here are some tidbits. 1. If Wendy has around 20-30 health, Abigail can almost solo frog rain. 2. Abigail + bush hat or snail armor thing is awesome. You can sit at 1 hp and watch her roll over lesser to mid-level mobs. 3. With a high degree of skill, you can toggle on and off her aggro mode to make her kite enemies, including big bads. It's hard but it's awesome. 4. The sisturn sanity aura is op. She is way more fun now, highly recommend trying her
Until you get sniped by a bishop in two seconds... Tying damage to sanity could've made things a little more interesting in my opinion as I said a week ago, that or both sanity and health.
@@TheBeard777 Bone Armor could be her friend, plenty of nightmare fuel down there. Also a couple stacks of honey poultices could help too. Edit: poultices are for Abigail, to be clear
i really like the new crafting item for abigail to increase her movement speed. sometimes you run too fast on the road and using a walking cane, leaving abigail far behind. absolutely marvelous.
Abby's attack animation has those ghostly wisps flying around her. It looks like the attack animation of Ghost Pepper, from the Plant vs. Zombies 2 game.
Wendy has always been my favorite, her fatalistic remarks on everything just tickle me. I'm very happy with these changes, and just like Beard, I think there's room for improvement in the future. Great video, I started playing as soon as the update came in and it covers everything very well.
Probably already been mentioned somewhere, but it would be cool if Abigail would appear in her Human form if Wendy's Sanity gets low enough. Could be that being near her Sister in her human form, could Increase sanity to stop her from dropping down to 0, even in death, shes looking out for ya.
This rework feels.. weird, because although the feeling of the character has stayed, i found that the new tabs and stuff don't do much for Abigail, yeah sure a few potions to give buffs but it doesn't give that feeling of power like Willow does with her giant bear, i wish they gave Abigail new attacks, never ending ''upgrades'' to Abigail (Potions should have done that) similar to WX with the gears. She just isn't strong enough to justify going through all the troubles using materials (mosty for the Sisturn even though it's my favorite part of her rework since this sanity boost is way too good) and gathering Mourning Glories. I'd give this rework a 6/10 maybe, clearly not Klei's best work
Weird wasn't the word I was using myself but now that you said it I think I agree. It's like they almost went the full distance on making the buffs good and the correlation between health and damage functional but pulled the plug last minute or something...
They ought to make Wendy a support character. The sisturn already pushes her in that direction, that combined with the low base damage and reliance on allies would seem to indicate a role as a support class. But she just, doesn't really have anything for anyone other then Abigail. They ought to just make the potions available for use on other players. That would give Wendy a fine role. But I guess they feel that would take away from Abigail. Perhaps some of the lesser potions like thorns aura and speed could be used on party members, or maybe they just change the duration to be much shorter. Or maybe they could even make them effect neutral ghosts and recruit them.
She hasn't been out for a day, yet you already have a Wendy Reworked Video. That's some dedication to Don't Starve Also as a Wendy Main I tank this Rework of Wendy and Abigail a: 8/10. There are some mechanics that I think should be different, including the "Vigor Mortis" item. I think it should do something else as well
Why not use the speed in conjuction to the flower command to have Abigail kite bosses? Have her attack a bit, call her back as if you would normally dodge, then set her on the boss again. The extra movement would allow her to kite even easier than Wendy. Not to mention 600 health means that an accident in callback wont be the end of her.
@@TheBeard777 I do love a good RTS. I can still recruit pigs right? But will a tank and spank composition be better then a spider mob from webber? Probably not unfortunately, but who knows? Maybe with some testing rigor mortis combined with pigs will be superior.
Hear me out Perhaps, by some means, Abigail was transformed to the Constant and, of course, died. You have to remember that the reason people become ghosts (even wx) in the game is because they are Bound to the constant and not allowed to pass on. Perhaps the reason we see abigail as a ghost is because she is somehow unable to pass on because of that? How or why isn’t very clear, but I think this would explain a lot more than just ‘living beyond the grave because of a sisterly bond’. If that was the case, I think Winona would like a word. Just a random thought. It’s more likely she just died normally though.
I am very happy with the update. It gave me what I wanted; Wendy doing the same things but with more accessibility and better consistency. My biggest critiques remain to be the Ectoherbology items - They are extremely lack luster.
Well considering that it is supposed to be the bread and butter of the update and most are unsatisfied with it should tell you where the rework stands currently... We shall see.
I said that I thought this rework would live and die by Wendy's new craftable Abby buffs and I think I was right. On one hand I *really* appreciate the fact that Wendy's still recognisable and essentially has just become stronger instead of a complete overhaul like Woodie got. On the other, I still think that Abby needs to be more useful against boss enemies and should've gotten an Elixir focused around such purposes instead of still being the best™ at the _very specific_ situation of clearing trash mobs. IMO Klei shouldn't have created several Elixirs for combat purposes and tried to balance them out, but instead should've made several Elixirs for different purposes for Abby. Here's one that makes her snag items for you and take them back to you (or maybe even gives her a backpack), here's one that removes her AoE in exchange for more health and damage (so, bossfight mode), here's one that increases her light aura, gives her an insulation aura, increases her passive health regen and lasts permanently until the next elixir for general-purpose survival, and so on.
i like this idea a lot actually, it keeps true to the nature of wendy but it'd allow for a lot more to be done with her. let us have skyrim companion wendy klei
i really got my hopes up with the potions and abi „resetting“ when she dies i thought they would be a cooler version of wx with gears, turns out the potions are useless and only thing that resets is her health which you can gain back so quickly
The "buffs" need buffs, yes. I am okay with Wendy/Abby at their base for now (perhaps tweak the health to damage ratio though) however these buffs were meant to give Abby a fighting CHANCE (!) at bigger enemies but no...
Overpowered?! Are people seeing/playing the same game I am? :D I don't want Wendy/Abby OP, I want them a little more viable against bigger enemies - that's all. They are nowhere near powerful enough to be labeled OP.
I don't know how I feel about her low health mechanics. I love the idea, but it doesn't seem like enough to me as a trade-off. I would have also liked a system similar to wx78's, where you can upgrade her with an item. Actually, that urn is perfect, just tweak it so you could add items into it to enhance the ghost's stats. This even balances itself out because of the cost of the weapons. Something like the spear is only slightly stronger, while the dark sword would bring her up to 60. Though that might be too strong with armor, you could just amp up the cost with specific ghost items made from the normal equipment and morning glories.
I just want to say this video is the reason why Hare chose wendy for our own little series in our channel and most if not all of the things we know about this game came from watching your videos!
Great guide as usual I’ll have to try her out! My friend and I were roaming a forest and her ghost killed at least 20 spiders swarming is at once. Absolutely insane and they couldn’t do a damn thing. Great sidekick for early game exploration and gathering!
I tried to play as her today. Man, what a ride. Just at the beginning of my run I found two spots with clockworks, a spot with a bunch of killer bee hives and Bee Queen, a Dragonfly desert, a biom with many ponds, a swamp, a cemetery, got into a fight with three Poison Birchnut trees, and that's just most that I can remember. I'm shocked, did I just get lucky or something went wrong here?
I did the math... Its a little rough and in need of polish, but its pretty close with how I made it. X is Wendy's HP, The result is Abigail's damage. (0.001819x^2)-(0.5431x)+(60.54)
@@TheBeard777 in my opinion she got a buff cause i can now control when she fights and can buff her with the perfumes but I guess the low Heath = more damage thing was a bit unnecessary and kinda makes her bad at fighting bigger mobs but overall I think it's a buff
Beard, i don't play don't starve (I don't even have any platform it's on) but I love your videos. You make it so interesting, and you were my introduction to don't starve in the first place. Keep up the good work!
@@TheBeard777 thanks for introducing me to don't starve. I've been a fan for probably at least half a year. I can't wait for more guides! I've enjoyed every guide of yours I've seen!
I took a LONG break from DST because I made 2 really old worlds where I got and did basically everything, but now I think it will be really interesting to playthrough as Wendy now. Also her new Sis-tern is a really swag decoration
As a Wendy main, it is about time. I like most of the changes, except maybe the suicide run damage output increase feels forced and I feel the HP for Abigail is still a bit low. Not sure if The Beard agrees with me on that. Wendy/Abigail have a special place in my heart for personal reasons and I'm sure they'll buff her up a bit!
If you look at the patch notes they do tease a new water based boss that will be in the “she sells seashells update” planned to come out towards the end of April, and just the outline alone looks crazy, and potentially spooky
Some things i'd like to mention/add after messing around with the rework, the bubble shield that abby has is actually already a passive she gets just for existing, its far more helpful than it seems cause now mobs that can't be stunlocked (mass frogs, spider warriors) can't just brute force their way through her health. The defense tonic gives what seems to be an absolutely MASSIVE (klei plz) five percent damage reduction and increases the effect of the shield bubble. if you're good at combat (ie can you recognize simple attack patterns and have lag not smite you) then chilling at 1 health with the 20 hp/sec tonic you and abi can smack most any boss in a pretty quick fashion.other than that the passive 2 hp per second tonic is by far the most useful one for general use
I don't why folk keep saying that she can tackle bosses now because that is just not as true as you guys think. Sure, you can call her back if things get dicey no but then what? You need to run away, wait for her to heal or do it yourself and then repeat. Sounds excruciatingly, painstakingly stressful for no reason. Just make these "buffs" better and then things will roll in the right direction.
@@TheBeard777 I think you may have misunderstood me a little, I never meant that abi can take on bosses, only that her and wendy can kill them faster now. definitely agree with the buffs needing buffs part.
I honestly think the defense potion is bugged. I've tested every combination imaginable with a friend and it doesn't seem to do anything at all. Other than that we've also tested abi against hounds, splumonkeys and the queen bee herself with a low health Wendy running around and I've gotta say I'm impressed. Abigail can singlehandedly deal with all bee queen spawns by herself (and the strong healing options used directly on the flower from a distance).
Abby was and is still the Queen of murdering the little guys of The Constant, yes. Although I would like to see her do at least a tad better against medium to bigger bads... Not TOO good but certainly better.
Vigor Morris is incredibly useful if you prop up Abigail next to a butterfly farm and egg her on You can rack up stacks of butterfly wings very quickly with that speed and the wide free roam. And hey, it makes butterflies even easier for farming Wortox souls than before
I mean, she will already destroy butterflies in general only the vigor will make it faster. Not really all that grand but yes, that is a use for it I guess.
The Beard 777 It does sound like that, and I thought the same. But it really does feel more powerful than it sounds in practice But at the end of the day it’s still just more efficient butterfly farming. You can only improve the easiest task so much
She absolutely cannot catch birds at a reasonable rate and even still will not kill them without player input or sacrifice and yes, this was filmed before we talked skins but that is player driven - the idea of multiple flowers now serves no gameplay purpose so everything still stands as is.
Unless they change something immediately I can say with certainty that she really struggles to do it. I stood there with a feather hat on for 5 minutes and she never once hit a single bird.
The shield potion gives her one a bubble that can take 1 attack without receiving any damage regardless of the attack, it restarts every 4 seconds i believe but it's pretty effective sometimes
"It's pretty effective sometimes" is a great statement. It's like we are trying to just make the best out of a not-so-great situation with these "buffs"... :D
*Hey beard, I am actually waiting for you to talk about next If everything goes according to plan we expect the next update to be toward the end of April with the next Return of Them Content update, "She Sells Seashells*
I loved the rework, I watched Wendy's short animation when it came out and found it sweet. with that said I should try Wendy while playing by myself and also with my friend as we work well together (who's a good Wortox player), if my friend is up for more of DST.
AAAA I'm a REALLY old Wendy main. I have been playing the game basically since it came out. I slowly started playing less Wendy as I realized how, uh, pretty trash she was. (Sorry) This update just makes me super happy. :)
@@TheBeard777 So I went back an double checked and I missed the sanity drain part because in my head I was expecting you to mention a -30 sanity drain so sorry about that. However I only seen you use the potions on Abigale herself and not the flower, nor did you mention that if you use the potion on the flower then it will give the effects to abigale.
@@TheBeard777 Ok so someone in the reply said that and you hearted it. I feel like a lot less confusion would happen if you edited the main comment to have that in it. However again sorry on my part.
I say it too, it's literally in the pinned comment. I edited it the moment someone told me of it over an hour ago! :D All good though friend, it really doesn't matter this much at the end of the day.

She most likely died before entering the constant with wendy. Since ghosts can usually be revived in the constant but not abigail
I wonder if it's more so the physical manifestation of her memory of her than her actual ghost.
My god, she dances too. She dances with Wendy! 😢 I love them so much.
I had this idea, when you are low sanity, Abigail's living form will blink.

This even balances itself out because of the cost of the weapons. Something like the spear is only slightly stronger, while the dark sword would bring her up to 60. Though that might be too strong with armor, you could just amp up the cost with specific ghost items made from the normal equipment and morning glories.
Obviously, I like the idea of a glass canon summoner but this is just too extreme. 1 health for merely 59 damage? Horrendous.

SHUT UP, SHUT UP BEFORE YOU MAKE ME CRY!
How to describe Abigail the best way I can
Abigail is basically Wendy’s stand
Anyone who watches Jojo’ Bizarre Adventure knows what I’m talking about
Still can'tbring abby back with a tell tale heart. Real sad hours.
I was so happy for this rework sense one of my favorite characters was Wendy and now I have a good reason to play her
Happy to hear that you are happy!
Thank you for making the video Beard, I was having trouble with the pipspooks but now I know exactly what to do. Again, thank you!
Glad I could help!
I was waiting for this.
Thanks for the useful content :D
Thanks for watching!
Man,Abigail is so OP she killed by herself around 20 spiders at once
I mean, she was always capable of killing horde-mobs... that hasn't changed at all.
I know I'm late... but I couldn't help but chuckle when you said "Give it a watch down below"... lol its morbid, but funny.
Beard has such good energy just radiating gamer friend vibes i love it
I'm going to say what everyone is thinking THE NEW ANIMATIONS ARE ADORABLE AND SO IS THE UPDATE
Kley has the best puns for name the things e The Beard777 has the best puns to talk about it. Theses guys are the best combination :)
Beard: new skins
Me: i'm broke tho
awwww, those peepspooks are awfully adorable!
They're the best!
I just want to say this video is the reason why Hare chose wendy for our own little series in our channel and most if not all of the things we know about this game came from watching your videos!
You forgot to mention ghost are no longer hostile to Wendy at all, so feel free to set up a grave yard base for farming mourning glory
Pinned comment, nothing was forgotten that wasn't mentioned elsewhere if need be.
Awww, Abigail and Wendy dancing at the end of the video is so adorable :)
Great guide as usual I’ll have to try her out! My friend and I were roaming a forest and her ghost killed at least 20 spiders swarming is at once. Absolutely insane and they couldn’t do a damn thing. Great sidekick for early game exploration and gathering!
So basically Abigail is now like a Pokemon
I tried to play as her today. Man, what a ride. Just at the beginning of my run I found two spots with clockworks, a spot with a bunch of killer bee hives and Bee Queen, a Dragonfly desert, a biom with many ponds, a swamp, a cemetery, got into a fight with three Poison Birchnut trees, and that's just most that I can remember. I'm shocked, did I just get lucky or something went wrong here?
Yay!, I have been waiting for you to upload the rework.
Yay! I've been waiting to upload it too cause it took forever for some reason!
Love it!!! It's almost perfect! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Glad it's good for you!
The servers are gonna be full of wendys for some time now
I did the math...
Its a little rough and in need of polish, but its pretty close with how I made it. X is Wendy's HP, The result is Abigail's damage.
(0.001819x^2)-(0.5431x)+(60.54)
Neat but couldn’t you just check the code of the game?
@@fancyb.p.6122 I uh, in hindsite that probably would've been better. I also don't know exactly how
Well, even if you can, it's good practice I guess. xD
Ah yes, I can finally kill all the bees without problem.
Which is something you could do before anyways...? :D
Nobody's allowed to be happy in don't starve
that's why the characters are stuck in there
My o my, time to play the good old... young, Wendy again, lovely
The pipspook in the top left of the thumbnail looks like it's hiding it's eyes with it's ghostly hands
Finally my main gets a buff
Buff huh? Funny way to put it... :D
@@TheBeard777 in my opinion she got a buff cause i can now control when she fights and can buff her with the perfumes but I guess the low Heath = more damage thing was a bit unnecessary and kinda makes her bad at fighting bigger mobs but overall I think it's a buff
I want Wendy to see Abigal in her human form when at low sanity, it makes sense and would lead to fun dancing and possible extra dialogs.
Beard, i don't play don't starve (I don't even have any platform it's on) but I love your videos. You make it so interesting, and you were my introduction to don't starve in the first place. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching friend!
@@TheBeard777 thanks for introducing me to don't starve. I've been a fan for probably at least half a year. I can't wait for more guides! I've enjoyed every guide of yours I've seen!
I took a LONG break from DST because I made 2 really old worlds where I got and did basically everything, but now I think it will be really interesting to playthrough as Wendy now. Also her new Sis-tern is a really swag decoration
As a Wendy main, it is about time. I like most of the changes, except maybe the suicide run damage output increase feels forced and I feel the HP for Abigail is still a bit low. Not sure if The Beard agrees with me on that.
Wendy/Abigail have a special place in my heart for personal reasons and I'm sure they'll buff her up a bit!
They just need to buff the "buffs" and perhaps tweak how much Wendy's health actually impacts Abby's damage and then things will look brighter.
so I've been playing with Wendy and honestly late game Wendy's -25% damage modifier is not worth Abigail as much as I love the duo :C
If you look at the patch notes they do tease a new water based boss that will be in the “she sells seashells update” planned to come out towards the end of April, and just the outline alone looks crazy, and potentially spooky
As someone who’s new to don’t starve, I’m loving Wendy
The return of time-based damage and some oomph on Wendy's damage made this character so much better
Some things i'd like to mention/add after messing around with the rework, the bubble shield that abby has is actually already a passive she gets just for existing, its far more helpful than it seems cause now mobs that can't be stunlocked (mass frogs, spider warriors) can't just brute force their way through her health. The defense tonic gives what seems to be an absolutely MASSIVE (klei plz) five percent damage reduction and increases the effect of the shield bubble. if you're good at combat (ie can you recognize simple attack patterns and have lag not smite you) then chilling at 1 health with the 20 hp/sec tonic you and abi can smack most any boss in a pretty quick fashion.other than that the passive 2 hp per second tonic is by far the most useful one for general use
I don't why folk keep saying that she can tackle bosses now because that is just not as true as you guys think. Sure, you can call her back if things get dicey no but then what? You need to run away, wait for her to heal or do it yourself and then repeat. Sounds excruciatingly, painstakingly stressful for no reason. Just make these "buffs" better and then things will roll in the right direction.
@@TheBeard777 I think you may have misunderstood me a little, I never meant that abi can take on bosses, only that her and wendy can kill them faster now. definitely agree with the buffs needing buffs part.
Not even a Webber main, and I already have a multi sack spider farm, with a birdcage to convert that harmful meat into delicious eggs.
I love Abigail.
She has and is still the Queen of small mob farming and such, yes! That I do like about the rework here.
Welp. Clopsy came in the middle of the night and slaughtered them all.
Am beginning the rebuilding process.
R I P
Perfeser Egad: "Luigi remember the pip boy communicater? I found a pipspook now!"
I honestly think the defense potion is bugged. I've tested every combination imaginable with a friend and it doesn't seem to do anything at all.
Other than that we've also tested abi against hounds, splumonkeys and the queen bee herself with a low health Wendy running around and I've gotta say I'm impressed. Abigail can singlehandedly deal with all bee queen spawns by herself (and the strong healing options used directly on the flower from a distance).
Abby was and is still the Queen of murdering the little guys of The Constant, yes. Although I would like to see her do at least a tad better against medium to bigger bads... Not TOO good but certainly better.
I don't know how to feel I literally got the wish you were here animated short as a add when I clicked on this video
Vigor Morris is incredibly useful if you prop up Abigail next to a butterfly farm and egg her on
You can rack up stacks of butterfly wings very quickly with that speed and the wide free roam.
And hey, it makes butterflies even easier for farming Wortox souls than before
I mean, she will already destroy butterflies in general only the vigor will make it faster. Not really all that grand but yes, that is a use for it I guess.
The Beard 777 It does sound like that, and I thought the same. But it really does feel more powerful than it sounds in practice
But at the end of the day it’s still just more efficient butterfly farming. You can only improve the easiest task so much
dude i love this, if you get her to level three she becomes a food duplicator, no more frogs or pengulls
I’m sooooooo happy for this!!
Everyone when a character is new : SKINS CLOTHES VOICE
Me : What's the items they have
Thank you
I love your videos, keep doing this.
Thanks for watching friend!
She can catch birds sometimes without the speed boost. The reason to craft a second flower is for Abigail's reskins.
She absolutely cannot catch birds at a reasonable rate and even still will not kill them without player input or sacrifice and yes, this was filmed before we talked skins but that is player driven - the idea of multiple flowers now serves no gameplay purpose so everything still stands as is.
As someone who mained Wendy since she was released 7(?) years ago. I love this rework
You can plant a lot of flowers in your base and then Abby would farm the butterflies for you while you're doing something else.
Thanks for the guide Beard! Be sure to stay safe! :)
Thanks for watching and same to you and everyone else!
I’ve been waiting for this video for awhile
Me three.
I lost the Abby flower once.. to the Splumonkeys 😅 was glad there is option to get the flower back!
When i tested it, my Abi could attack birds with the speed boost.
Unless they change something immediately I can say with certainty that she really struggles to do it. I stood there with a feather hat on for 5 minutes and she never once hit a single bird.
The shield potion gives her one a bubble that can take 1 attack without receiving any damage regardless of the attack, it restarts every 4 seconds i believe but it's pretty effective sometimes
"It's pretty effective sometimes" is a great statement. It's like we are trying to just make the best out of a not-so-great situation with these "buffs"... :D
imagine her being able to befriend ghosts
Feed a ghost a mourning glory and get a follower like a pig, that'd be dope
*Hey beard, I am actually waiting for you to talk about next If everything goes according to plan we expect the next update to be toward the end of April with the next Return of Them Content update, "She Sells Seashells*
When your name is Abigail... But no joke I love these
I was really happy to finally see Wendy get her rework. She is my favorite character.
Pretty cool I cant wait to get a laptop to play wendy now
Yay beard
Do you think they should add a option to world generation and make it with the non reword characters idea
I'm sure it's too late for that sorta thing friend although I really enjoy that idea!
@@TheBeard777 really enjoy your RUclips channel to
It's funny because when I was playing the update yesterday, I was like, " I wonder if Beard has a new video for me" 😂 (not just for me, duh)
I loved the rework, I watched Wendy's short animation when it came out and found it sweet. with that said I should try Wendy while playing by myself and also with my friend as we work well together (who's a good Wortox player), if my friend is up for more of DST.
AAAA
I'm a REALLY old Wendy main. I have been playing the game basically since it came out.
I slowly started playing less Wendy as I realized how, uh, pretty trash she was. (Sorry)
This update just makes me super happy. :)
As long as you enjoy it that is all that matters!
2 things
You can use the potions on the flower itself to give abigale the bonuses
When Abigail "dies" Wendy will take a -30 sanity drain
I mention both of those things.
@@TheBeard777 So I went back an double checked and I missed the sanity drain part because in my head I was expecting you to mention a -30 sanity drain so sorry about that. However I only seen you use the potions on Abigale herself and not the flower, nor did you mention that if you use the potion on the flower then it will give the effects to abigale.
Extra stuff is always in the pinned comment section. No one ever reads those as always.
@@TheBeard777 Ok so someone in the reply said that and you hearted it. I feel like a lot less confusion would happen if you edited the main comment to have that in it. However again sorry on my part.
I say it too, it's literally in the pinned comment. I edited it the moment someone told me of it over an hour ago! :D
All good though friend, it really doesn't matter this much at the end of the day.
