I'm more and more annoyed by Opera and especially GX. Opera was the best browser for years, unrivaled by none of the others. It had features no other browser had, but at the same time these war good features, not just some stupid additions You don't want to use. It even had (and still has) better search engine functionality than Chrome and other browsers, because it has POST in it, which is crucial for some search engines to work. But then they added proxy, which they called VPN. After that crypto wallet. Then a video thing that works only in my country, which nobody cares about. Also they made GX, a "gaming" browser, which is ridiculous. There is no such thing as gaming browser. Not only the features are bs, the whole name is a bigger bs. If You are a gamer, You probably have a PC that doesn't need these limiters. If You have too old and weak PC, limiters won't help anyway. It's just art for art's sake. It is just so it exist. It's functionality is minimum if not zero. Also Opera refuses to tab groups many people ask for. I even made a forum thread about that and I was given an answer that "Opera has workspaces". That's completely different feature. Not so long after that, Chrome added tab groups with colors and even naming. Opera still doesn't care. Like why they are so persistent with that. Why can't they add a feature so great, which many people ask for. As a person who uses dozens of tabs very often, this would help me navigate, because sometimes I open something, then open something else from other source tab. Tab groups would help a lot...
AlejsXy out here blowing my mind, I remember watching the last PoP record breakdown & Yihou's record had me grinning like a fool saying "Imagine a sub 2min run, how legendary would that be?" Now I know, and its as beautiful as I imagined. Can't wait to see this guy complete a run with those split times and take the crown!
Man, I truly hope Team Cherry sends you a Collector's Edition when Silksong launches. The stuff you make to keep this community so awesome is insane. Thank you so much!
As of March 24, 2024 Yihou has a WR of 1:55.57; the craziest move in the run that I was able to recognize was that they performed a cyclone drop instead of a down dash in room 1 between the wall and the sawblade, thereby improving on the TAS movement significantly
Great video Fire. Love looking at follow ups on the God Gamer videos! The background music is kinda distracting at times though, particularly 9:50 onwards.
if it makes you feel any better i took about 10 hours to get thru PoP, had to leave the game on overnight so i could sleep because of the lack of checkpoints
I feel your pain. It took me so long because my laptop died so I had to reset on the last section, then I quit on my own because I thought it saves your progress for some reason, so I had to do it again. Really crushed my spirit.
@@Anxmaly666 yeah my friend who 100%ed celeste before she played hollow knight (and is consequentially much better at platforming than i am) only took an hour as well. i almost killed her right then and there grinning emoji!
Playing through steel soul and just got through white palace fairly quickly. It helps that it was my third time doing it (first normally, second because I saw something to the right of the last room [IT WAS LORE], and third for steel soul). Still haven't found marmu
This video made me realize that I would LOVE Summoning Salt videos about Hollow Knight speedruns- or at least videos in that style, if someone else does them instead
I can only imagine how much easier path of pain would be if the knight ( or ghost, whatever you want to call it ) wore shoes, it would be able to walk on thorns without taking damage
Hi Fireborn. I've seen you and others do speedrun races with hollow knight as well as play the randomizer mod. I was watching someone's first randomizer run and seeing the starting menu where you choose all your randomizer options, I noticed the seed number at the top. Can you choose what seed number you want to try? If so, is it possible for you and another speedrunner to choose the exact same seed and the same options to do a speedrun randomizer race on? Just an idea I had when I saw the seed number
fantastic video! a bit of constructive criticism: while watching alex's pop videos, the music you play in the background mixing with the video sound (especially the pop music) creates a very busy sound that makes it hard to focus on the actual content of the video. in the future i'd either mute the videos or cut the background music while they're playing! aside from that though, this is a wonderful video. it's fascinating to see how much alex was able to push down the csob for a category that's already so optimized.
Inspired by the past two days, I whimed a copywriting about next path of pain video. I found 5(6) levels of path of pain :D Level 0 That pure vessel grew in hallownest and eventually sealed the radiance is a path of pain Level 1 That the vessel go through path of pain is a path of pain Level 2 That players played path of pain is a path of pain Level 3 That we watch players played path of pain is a path of pain (because boring repeatings and angst with live streamers) Level 4 The progress of speedrun list in path of pain category is a path of pain (recorded many players’ efforts and perseverances) Level 5 All in all, it is a happiness and serenity when we have gone through and looked back the path of pain, at each level. All endeavors is deserved. It is the very the meaning of path of pain that pain is worthy.
This May Be Long, But You Should Do Speedrunner vs 3 Hunters 100 Percent, Limit Is 4 Hours, Hunters Start With 4 Health, They Earn One At Mantis, And One At The First Part Of Kingsoul.
the nail down-swing hitbox goes very slightly above you, as you can see somewhat in the sprite. Pogoing something above you would be a very hard trick.
im sitting here , spending almost 10h in path of pain just to die to the kings molds at the end . and then theres speedrunners about to sub 2min that thing
Me in my first playthrough: ohhhh I finally did it. It took 8 deaths and 5 hours but I did it! AlejsXy: I beat it in aboooooout 8 minutes and not getting hit once… I’ll go do the rest of the game now.
Hey, just been wondering, is there any standard procedures or specific softwares used to detect botters in Hk speedrunning or speedrunning in general as wouldn't it be technically possible for a player to record their keystrokes in a run and then command a bot to follow and optimise them to eventually perfect the run, and then just claim the run as their own?
I'm a little late, but with the movement at the start of the second room (5:13), is there a reason why you couldn't just jump early and dash, rather than double-jump, to the wall at the desired height? You wouldn't lose height that way either. (Or is it that you would have to wait for the dash animation to end and that would take too much time?)

It’s nice to see that you are giving people the credit they deserve, especially smaller runner. Keep up the good work!
RIP Schy!
I was incredibly sad to hear what happened to schy, they were the reason I started attempts on PoP speedruns.
what happened to schy
@@vuice6601 They died a couple of days ago. I don’t know too much.
@@aut0nomous Blue_SR_ (another HK speedrunner) said that Schy died because of heatstroke
@@NorthernOwl838 rip...
"The point of walking is to get closer to the wall"
This is maybe the only Speedrun strat that I can manage.
I don’t know, that’s pretty advanced.
the hk speedrunning community never ceases to amaze me
I think it's interesting that fireborn Is becoming more comfortable with his face. It's good to see more of it lstely

What do you mean with more comfortable? He is objectively very handsome
@@franciscovaldes4107 well yeah, but he's pretty shy.
The thing that absolutely destroyes my mind is, how tas is still like 8s faster.
I did it faster but I didn’t record
@@fatmouse4279 same
Don't underestimate the advantage of repeatable movement. The TAS never backslides, it only moves forward.
@@fatmouse4279 ya i did like 1 minute but forgot to record
@@verygoodprofilepicture5466 LOL amateurs I beat it in 1 hour without recordings
path of pain is almost independent of the RNG
one of the most amazing speedrun categories out there
great video, Fire ✨
Yes, but it's so punishing. One Mistake and you're done. Also the stupid wing moulds in room 1 are really annoying
you'll be surprised how much RNG can affect the run
AlejsXy out here blowing my mind, I remember watching the last PoP record breakdown & Yihou's record had me grinning like a fool saying "Imagine a sub 2min run, how legendary would that be?"

I cant believe PoP speedrun is still hot n burning in the speedrunning community
well who am i kidding, its the speedrunning community afterall
Great video Fire. Love looking at follow ups on the God Gamer videos!
The background music is kinda distracting at times though, particularly 9:50 onwards.
Speedrunners: almost less than 2 minutes to complete PoP
Me: more than 2 months crying because of PoP
Really?
if it makes you feel any better i took about 10 hours to get thru PoP, had to leave the game on overnight so i could sleep because of the lack of checkpoints
I feel your pain. It took me so long because my laptop died so I had to reset on the last section, then I quit on my own because I thought it saves your progress for some reason, so I had to do it again. Really crushed my spirit.

Fireb0rn you are such a nice guy to everyone.
Alex gained over 550 subscribers because of you.
Its so nice you are so sweet this guy
Playing through steel soul and just got through white palace fairly quickly.
It helps that it was my third time doing it (first normally, second because I saw something to the right of the last room [IT WAS LORE], and third for steel soul).

i just started to tackle path of pain in my home game so now i can realised even better how crazy this is!!!! as always, great video fire!
This video made me realize that I would LOVE Summoning Salt videos about Hollow Knight speedruns- or at least videos in that style, if someone else does them instead
Yiho now has a sub 2 minute run if anyone wanted an update
I actually think the music might be a little too loud in this video
Thanks for another great vid fire
Definitely adding Alejsxy to my subscribed channels
Fire, you're one of the rare ones that can get me to watch a sponsor all the way through.
I can only imagine how much easier path of pain would be if the knight ( or ghost, whatever you want to call it ) wore shoes, it would be able to walk on thorns without taking damage
This sounds like a segway into a sponsorship
Or if the pale king put his budget into things other than sawblades
the room times are in the vid description
"Thorns skip skip"
Sick
7:01 thorn skip skip
7:05 its like dss or (dino skip skip) from SMO
Speedrunners: *2 minutes for entire path of pain*
Me: *2 hours for each room*
Your ad for windmill was good enough that I thought that was why I clicked on the video and almost left
i love how speedrunning starts out saving hours, and then spedruns end up saving microseconds XD
RIP Schy.
Sheesh, PoP isn't a video game level anymore. It's a science.
i can't believe sub 2 minutes just happened .. and not by him

All in all, it is a happiness and serenity when we have gone through and looked back the path of pain, at each level. All endeavors is deserved. It is the very the meaning of path of pain that pain is worthy.
music felt a little loud btw, just wanted to let you know for the future
Just went to go sub to them, and found out they now have 257 subs as of when I checked.
Bro AlejsXy has gained 500 subscribers since this video was made great job
Fire, look out! They're trying to kill you through sheer speed!
This May Be Long, But You Should Do Speedrunner vs 3 Hunters 100 Percent, Limit Is 4 Hours, Hunters Start With 4 Health, They Earn One At Mantis, And One At The First Part Of Kingsoul.
Who Agrees With Me??
Me Who spent 2 hours on The first room and then gave up: hahaha i can do that!
Happy birthday fire!!!
We need another follow up before Silksong
Awesome Vid, Fire! But could you make the bg music a little quieter next time heheeh
Wait, you can pogo the saw blade above you?
the nail down-swing hitbox goes very slightly above you, as you can see somewhat in the sprite. Pogoing something above you would be a very hard trick.
I wish schy was here to see all of this 💙💙
me too. i wish we could share this with them, im sure they would be excited 💙
I’ll be waiting for the day it’s sub 2 minutes
im sitting here , spending almost 10h in path of pain just to die to the kings molds at the end . and then theres speedrunners about to sub 2min that thing
SACRIFICE FIREB0RN, EXTINGUISH THE FLAME
I might start speedrunning path of pain, too.
He just beat it. What a legend
i love you fireb0rn, your content is awesome!
RIP Technoblade
Alejsxy broke the WR with a 2:01.49 just yesterday
Me in my first playthrough: ohhhh I finally did it. It took 8 deaths and 5 hours but I did it!
AlejsXy: I beat it in aboooooout 8 minutes and not getting hit once… I’ll go do the rest of the game now.
I am utterly flabbergasted
Fire you got some credit in a penguinz0, Charlie, video! Did you see?
me: enjoying a great fire video
meanwhile reddit: KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL
these speedrunneres are mind blowing
Sounds like the pain of the path has taken its toll
In all seriousness though, the PoP speedrunning community constantly amazes me
Are you gonna make a video on the new carefree melody-less radiant any rad
Pop took me 2 hrs on my first time playing the game, and Speedrunners just do it in close above 2 seconds
May you be able to show an tutorial on how to get too soul sanctum?
I speedrun path of pain in 22 hours
When are you going to make your next god gamers video?
just re-watches your god gamers path of pain vid
what if you end the game with the delicate fower? (broken vessel + radiant no damage)
I've never thought about that. Now I need to know.
Nothing happens, people have done it
fower
Fireborn beware people over Reddit memes are trying to sacrifice you to team cherry for silk song release beware!
This person became a TAS but in exchange he can't finish his work.

(Or is it that you would have to wait for the dash animation to end and that would take too much time?)
not entirely sure, but it might be either that it messes with sharp shadow timing, or the freeze frames from dashing into a wall take too long
Aljsxy has 365 subs now, I wonder how many more they'll get
Do they use mark of pride for pogo range?
Insaneee, absolutely insaneee...
Thats insane
Synthwave lets go
HEY! I need to tell you something! Just within the past few days Yihou and another player got sub 1:59 on the Path of Pain!!!
fire, i think the video would be better if you muted audio from his speedrun, your lofi bg doesn't mix well with path of pain theme and buzzing saws
So this is the final minute barrier, huh?
In case that Silksong is published none of these can happen I guess
please also wtch any% all glitches tas speedrun as well
So here 9:53 would it be faster to wall jump and dash to the platform instead of whatever else? Or has it been tested to be to slow?
you'd have to move a much larger distance. unless im wrong.
@@Leopards-go4si well but they do have sharp shadow
PoP speedrunner here - it's been timed to be slower (than both the strat in the video and blossom strat)

Ah yes, the thorn skip skip
I wonder when people are going to get tas times in this run.
