“this is what 3000 hours of muscle memory looks like”
“this is what i get for never playing the 4th act”
Everything is energy: energy is energy, stars are energy, egg is energy
You love to see the Eneggy at work.
I mean. Strictly speaking, you're not wrong. Something something E=Mc squared
@violetstarsign That einstein was really unto something huh
It pains me so much
And Energy is Mana. And Mana is Vitality. Star Retention is important.
You can tell he's actually excited about the game because he edited out the pause.
he pauses the recording when he gets up so its pre-edited in a way
@philipshakkour6741 there's so many videos he doesn't do that. Is it a new thing? Or does he just forget a lot
@bowlchickenif it's from the stream he obviously doesn't pause the stream itself (and he doesn't edit anyway). If it's videos just for youtube he almost always pauses (i can think of a couple of times he forgot).
@philipshakkour6741he steps away from the mic to breathe
@philipshakkour6741even if it's on stream, you can pause only the recording part
I loved it when he decided to name Stars its actual name I was so relieved
and then he immediately forgot and started calling it "energy"
And proceeded to keep calling it energy
give him 2 years he'll get there
44:13 extremely meek Gandalf to the balrog

+2 Im so glad people are still doing these on these new slay the spire videos
made my day, god bless
@chibieris I was worried when I didn't see any at 1st vid
Got a big ol smile out of me. +2
I think im most surprised by him realizing the difference between stars and energy so quickly.
sameeeee he was locked in af
I chose between three things. I’m choosing between three things right now.
Who up choosing between they three things
He's choosing between three things you know
Get this man a Choose between three things…
me when im in a choose 1 of 3 things comp and my opponent chose a draw 4 😨
Oh my god, i´m choosing between 3 things too!
I will always be thankful for RUclips Only content.
AMEN!!
he said to k8 on stream that any time he isnt working out, with the kid, or on vacation he will be playing or recording this
we are going to be feasting on youtube STS for... soo long...
he’s just saying the cards names man i love it
He truly makes it so
Another Make it so
He literally became Picard
@GigaVanguard He just kept talking in an incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic, no one had a chance to interrupt. It was quite hypnotic.
Decisions decisions
11:28 "I'm gonna be so for real with you, we'll put this 12 damage card on top of our draw pile so that we can play this block so that my enemy with 12hp only hits me for 2 :)"
Thank you! I thought I was going crazy when I saw that.
There really are no beasts like him
StS1 was one of the greatest games to yell at NL through my screen over, glad to see the sequel has just as much potential.
@MartinCinderyea I assume he just hadn't noticed the slow debuff, so had already decided he didn't have lethal lmao
missed a tinted lethal as he praises himself for playing well
Yo that crab kill was awesome
The egg was cracked this run
The real crab is the friends we made along the way
but he doesn't have any minions yet
I literally slammed my oxfords on the table Khrushchev style when he said this
nobody in the entire history of StS 2 has destroyed crab like that
also the entire history of StS 2 is... a day
I gotta give it up, killing the boss while he's intangible is awesome
4:06 God brainstorming ideas on what to add to the night sky after creating the Earth
LOL this is so funny, thanks u made my day
@idarkroses7044You're welcome.

This guy is so cool! Although it might just be Regentncy bias

the irony of him being offered geneisis multiple times and being like "were good on energy (stars)" and then building a star based build absolute cinema
5:51 ancient civilisations deciding on their religious practices
9:18 slightly less ancient civilisations updating their religious systems

This is a golden comment XD
13:58 Walt Disney and his executive team in 1963 trying to keep the company from going bankrupt.

I fell asleep to watching this and all I could remember at the end was him constantly saying "Decisions, decisions" so many time, it was in my dreams, I kept repeating it the whole morning, and I come back to this video to see that it's literally the name of a card he picked up lmao
5:36 this is the one-liner they put in the trailer for northernlion: The Movie
*Says “decks getting kinda thick” at least 5 times*
*Doesn’t take a single card removal in a shop*
*Proceeds to build a near perfect combo deck*
Peak NL.
Turns out having a thick deck doesn't matter if you can draw through most of it every turn anyway.
regent really breaks the base principle of slay the spire and it fits so well with the lore, my favorite character easily.
33:10 me asserting my rule over Austin Powers

You can't resist us, Mr Powers

Defeat the enemy
Or
Take some damage
Missed a tinted card!

Im ashamed to admit it took me a minute to get this.
Slay 2@SmallMeatDave69420
@pirate135246 damn you thick af
@pirate135246bro what are u doing with ur life?
I mean who hasn't misread "Eternal" as "Ethereal" I made the exact same mistake like three times
Still the best starting option. 333 gold is unbelievable, might as well be a better bell relic
SAME
@blackmage1276Gold is objectively less valuable in STS2 than STS. Relics cost more, relics aren’t as good in general, cards can be decent, but u dont need loads. Card removal is the most important facet of the gold. The relics help, but the gold is defs just less valuable in this game and should be treated as such
Yeesh. Just over 48 and a half hours after release and the Architect has already taken over 6 **BILLION** damage. I think StS2 is gonna do just fine. :P
Beat a0 with reagent last night and he’s at like 47 billion 😂 showed my wife she was like, “so this is a popular game?” It very much is and it’s great
16:20 the knight being interviewed after a disappointing visit to the dastardly potion seller
sorry i am flooding the comments section with these i am just so happy they and slay the spire are back
37:50 genuine whimsy
Nah bro we'll take Brightest Flame, we just won't use it unless we need it. I'm built different.
But what's 1 hp *really*?
11:30 when he decides he would rather not kill the elite and instead take 2 damage
He plays so fast despite not knowing what any of the new mechanics are lol
58:30 bro gets 5 potions per combat but can't seem to find the time to upgrade his deck with a 1 cost card
3:03 the sound effect and animation of the basic strike goes insanely hard
22:33 Wait until this dude hears about 21 damage

@eichopf+2
1:31 Rick Moranis in Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves
20:32 NL remembering what he called the alt energy 20 mins prior.
16:30 Pope Gregory I in 590 AD establishing the seven deadly sins
1:02:52 You couldn't search your draw pile for 3 cards because there were only 2 cards in your draw pile. So, first you got 4 burns, then you got the 2 cards in your draw pile instead of searching (because you had no options to search for), then you drew your cards for the turn.
25:28 him saying this after skipping 3 star spears is pretty funny actually.
He meant more like “tempest” or “whirlwind” not “perfected strike”
There is literally a card that does what he’s describing called Stardust. 😂 but it only 5x not 10x 💀
@echoorionjett8803perfected strike is an insulting comparison to the spear, perfected strike requires you to fill your deck with mostly garbage for middling returns, spear let’s you fill your deck with the best cards in the game and then does 58 damage for one energy.
@dolphinbj1629oh brother i didn’t need the Reddit essay. I was just pointing out what Ryan meant
@echoorionjett8803reacting this weirdly to someone engaging in the public conversation is way more Reddit tbh
wake up honey new relics for egg to forget about just dropped
He actually played around letter opener he's a changed man
57:20 Gojo deciding what to do against a strong opponent
14:01 contractors when they're building AI data centres
25:25 That’s some game sense right there
if the number was 7 instead of 10 it would have been spot on.
bald man stimming 'make it so' over and over. ive seen this episode before
The tent is so good. I had shovel one time so it was a free relic, a heal and an upgrade at every campsite. So good
Damn he's COOKING with the regent
putting secret technique into your hand "because it can grab anything" is so funny" 42:20
There is technically some utility there vs just choosing a card immediately since it lets you see what the rest of your draws for the turn are.
Also counts as an extra skill use.
i love the regent but just wait until you get to this really cool character called the defect :3
37:06 and several times before: "We need more damage, we have too many defends" Egg complains, while systematically entirely ignoring every card with the "forge" action.
52:10 "We need more energy" immediately after skipping (and not even looking at) Void Form
11:26
>Enemy has 12 hp
>NL puts the 12 damage card on top of his deck and blocks to take two damage instead of just killing the mob.
"I want a card that turns a ton of energy (stars) into a ton of damage." Proceeds to ignore forge every time it comes up.
I was just thinking this lmao He just passed up an UPGRADED Smith at the shop that was on SALE!
Not playing the upgrade power multiple times was wild
Hoping for another 500 of these vids to passively watch, ty goat
And then a card tier list at the end
I was really not being a type A guy until that Mad Science hit the deck...
So happy to see NL playing the new Slay the Spire. Having so much fun playing it myself as well.
the triple defend knocked me out lmfao
25:31 "does 10x damage, where 10 is 10"
"We kinda got our infinite bro look at this! Can't play it again..."
32:47 when the doctor is unable to recognise and prevent your nascent stroke in time
Ryan, potion belt, it's good. You gotta believe me
38:17 don’t look at his HP
I already calculated it 🥀
As a type A chatter let's say I watched this on the edge of my seat
Production order: episode 4
Release order: episode 2
39:00 my girlfriend after every argument.
From "I've gotta read a lot now" to "I'll remove Greed (Unplayable, Eternal) at the first shop"
1:13:06 "We kinda got our infinite off bro, look at this... can't play it again."
Fresh for RUclips juice. I be slurping
The Silent disrespect starts early
Throwing the foul potions at the merchant and calling him a sicko made me cackle lmao
Missed slay the spire content glad its back
33:35 add that up over a week, a month, a year - I’m kicking your butt!!!
53:45 NL getting a question right on his pop quiz
Did he play mad science even once 😂
God i missed yelling at Slay the spire videos
oh fuck yeah
Ok but imagine if that mad science card was like the inscryption card maker and you choose the cost first and any drawbacks and that opens up how many effects the card can have. That would be so sick.
Regent is a massive powerhouse, you can sometimes kill everything in one turn
I had a 300 damage forged blade to finish my run on this guy. He instantly became my favorite.
(Doing 140 damage with the damage per star card was pretty sick too)
I'm so glad we're back in Slay the Spire.
Skipping that radiate in the shop at 29:38 physically punched me in the face thank you NL
Is it weird I’m more excited at the new locked in NL content this game is going to generate than actually playing?
59:50 wise egg understands the consequences of going to 67 max hp........
Mad science!
Him walking through the mental realization he’s playing a blue magic deck is so funny to me
5:35 I can’t believe you just reminded me of this… oh my god
I like watching him play the new characters because he's going my same speed but him calling stars energy is making my head spin
Regent OP.
Egg OP.
33:52 Perfume Genius after traveling to the future and needing to make his lyrics relevant again.
really impressive how locked in he was he pulled out the big guns for this big brain character
The amount of times he accidentally kills an enemy is this run is crazy
53:45 William Shakespeare inventing a new phrase but he's not sure
41:05 Needing damage and not reading crescent because his gold matched the card cost
we're so back
NL doing everything he can to avoid playing or stalling for Mad Science when he gets it.
Calling the blue stars “energy” is also very magic the gathering coded
6:05 camus plays poker
