As though a million voices cried out in pain and betrayal.

And were slowly and painfully silenced.

Update Time!

EDIT: Also for those who may be confused that I'm ignoring their advice, this is the last video that we recorded before the thread went up so if that's the kind of thing that super bugs you, that's why!

Alternate text: For those of you confused that Fae is ignoring your advice, boy are you in for a bad time :D

Now we just need 97 more and a crochet bulborb to cruelly devour them while you desperately whistle to recreate the Pikmin experience.

a pool of water would suffice

Also, Olimar is totally the sort of person who'd buy a gimmicky power throwing arm cybernetic power assist for his arm.

His exploration rocket has a weapon that can destroy stars and KEEP GOING.
That, or it's a neutrino beam that doesn't do anything but can pass through stars.

Either is possible with Olimar.

Pikmin actually unflower if left in the ground too long. It's a full cycle, not just a linear upgrade. After a set amount of time in the ground (I think its 3 or 4 minutes or so), they advance one stage. If they are still in the ground as flowers when it is time for them to advance again, they become leafs.

Night time advances everything in the ground by 1 stage no matter what, so all those leafs were probably already flowers.


IMO the best strategy is to not have them carry anything back until everything in the area is dead, but both Fae and myself have very short attention spans and I'm not gonna get all up in arms about MY OPTIMAL STRATERGIES in the middle of the videos. Carrying early is fine too, and there wouldn't have been a problem if she'd handled the second frog as well as she handled the first. She didn't, but past me didn't expect that.

Carrying things is fine. Unless it's the end of the day it only needs the listed number though. Unless it's a "gotta run back to get more pikmin anyhow" moment. Because Hauler Pikmin generally don;t get too badly lost.

Bomb Rock Safety...is not demonstrated in this video.

I was going to mention WW2 computers for the analogue era. Whether it's Enigma, or heavy ship fire control, they were a thing.

Bomb safety: how long will it last?

There's a part in here!

This was not the water safety episode.

After marathonning all this, I can honestly say that you two have a very Pikmin - Olimar relationship. Fae's pathfinding is horrible, her combat skill is generally lacking, but all Gnome has the capability to do is vaguely order her in different directions and give commands she may or may not actually execute as expected.

This is a glorious comment.

Mistakes were made.

Nothing of value was lost.

Except Fae's humanity.

This update was so much fun to record! Especially the part where I murdered 13 blues carrying a 20 red pellet back to the onion!

Also getting Fae to pull pikmin away from Bulborb/bear mouths and throw them. Olimar doesnot do as much damage as throwing a dozen pikmin to safety.

Gnome is the real danger to Pikmin health.

It's a Snagret. Half Snake, Half Egret. Half your active Pikmin.

I meanwhile am partial to Tim Tams for snacks

Yes you can and that's what you're supposed to do if you want these fights to go fast at all. Most fights go significantly faster when you use an army of reds instead of anything else in this game.

The exception being the Beady Long Legs where yellows had their only useful moment.
Unfortunately, for the Snagret, the casualties from the deathwater would exceed the benefits from more damage significantly.

Have you seen her aim? It would take a whole video to get them.

That said,taking a full day for a snitchbug/other flying things hunt could be a fun bonus video if it was run at double speed.

Heck, look how much trouble she had with that one blowhog last video.

Fae is not able to take down skyborne foes.

Watching how Fae's skills have developed from the start until now, it reminded me of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lxu8nbARYQ.

Also, I really wish I had even an inkling of artistic skill, because for a while now I've had an idea for a picture: A bunch of Pikmin fighting/being eaten by a giant bulborb while Olimar looks on frightened out of his wits, with a single Pikmin standing behind him holding a sign that has "RUDE!!!" scrawled on it. But, alas, all I can do is watch and cheer you two on. Keep going, you can 100% it! We believe in you!

I decided to make your request in psuedo-comic format. Art skill is just handy, not essential!
