what no silksong does to a mf 😭

[@henryst-1]

you should see my stream ideas/video ideas list - some of them are so hard and dumb they're probably 100 hours of pain LOL

[@d3adxb0yxwalk1ng]

@@henryst-1 excited to see them happen!

[@Wombattuus]

I thought this was going to be a joke video where you couldn't move along the z axis but you would just play the game normally

[@henryst-1]

can you imagine clicking on: Can you beat Hollow Knight in only TWO dimensions?? (IMPOSSIBLE)

DougDoug has infected the Hollow Knight community

Church of the Horizontal line: "True faith."
Church of the Diagonal line: "Doomed to be infected."

we ain’t no HOO HOOers in here

[@briebirb]

Satisfactory video. Now do it using voice commands

[@henryst-1]

satisfactory indeed

[@cuddlequeen3225]

Seconded. Voice commands hollow knight sounds fun. Doug won't play hollow knight so we must do it ourselves

[@EmpinadoMaxbmdggTheSun]

I think if you wanted extra challenge, you could've also got infected crossroads

[@henryst-1]

This would’ve made my line impossible so yeah that would be a challenge, I’d have to find a different one

[@ivanlol7153]

Short, sweet and to the point. I dig it.

[@henryst-1]

thanks :)

[@EmpinadoMaxbmdggTheSun]

i think it would be interesting to solve if it's possible to walk through the entirety of Hallownest withiout stepping in the same place twice (I mean you can enter a room several times, but you're not allowed to stand in a place you already once stood before). I'm pretty sure thats impossible but anyway interesting topic to think about.
It's like the math problem to draw a line that goes through all given dots without crossing itself.

[@henryst-1]

I mean I did walk in a straight line the whole time, never doubling back - unless you mean on two different walks. I thought an interesting challenge would be to face the same direction the whole time but with my line that was definitely impossible

[@EmpinadoMaxbmdggTheSun]

@@henryst-1 no, I mean every room in the game

[@henryst5]

@@EmpinadoMaxbmdggTheSunhmmmmmmmm maybe. You’d have to get pretty technical though, I’ll add it to my list

[@rayboy5204]

slightly longer path from deepnest to hive with a slight tilt

[@henryst-1]

this has big potential but im not sure its possible - we need hollow knight’s greatest minds on this

[@skeyenexus]

awesome video! keep it up!

[@henryst-1]

yoooo thanks! more good stuff to come :)

[@ThePuzzlePartners]

Another great video!

[@henryst-1]

my biggest fan 😍

[@LavaCreeperPeople]

i dont know i havent played it
only listened to the soundtrack

[@henryst-1]

Fire soundtrack, mantis lords is a goated track

[@LatinTortoise]

Great job.

[@henryst-1]

Thanks! Truly an unbelievable accomplishment, can't believe it was achievable without TAS

[@TexanCowboyCheese]

Seems hard enough.

[@henryst-1]

planning was p hard yeah

[@TeaMilk1]

Interesting

[@henryst-1]

thanks :)

[@Rbum4]

dude, you could've went further west, to Unn. why stop when you can still go on

[@henryst-1]

mmmm check the line again - I definitely couldn’t go all the way left. m a y b e a little more left than hornet? But definitely not all the way to the lake

[@Rbum4]

​@@henryst-1the line at 2:22 easily goes all the way to the left. The line earlier in the video didn't, but you couldn't even touch the floor in hornet arena with that first line. Weird move to change the line at the end, lol.

[@henryst-1]

@@Rbum4 ok FAIR you got me, the 2:22 line does cover that area, and it is indeed not the same line. I didn't get too particular about it in editing bc I didn't really expect to get any views :) anyway the 2:22 line is bigger than 5% of the map so the real line is the 0:40 one. btw I'm pretty sure hornet's floor is within that line since her room extends further downwards than just her arena

[@Kirbicon]

Summary, no.
…but yea.

[@henryst-1]

i mean you cannnnnn but are diagonal lines really straight anyway?
