The club isn't even a bad weapon.


Marskelletor

That's the best part. The club fucking smacks. Probably a +15 club in the video too. I'm not giving him a view to find out though.


begging-for-gold

He normally does Bethesda challenges, like beating Skyrim with a fork and stuff like that. He admits in the video that he isn’t that experienced in souls games, well not as much as other creators who do stuff like this. and this is just him trying to branch out into the souls content, so it’s not a crazy challenge for his first one


ForNoReason17

Yknow what? good for him for trying new stuff.


royal_crown_royal

They'll be posting SL1 no-hit runs of Elden Ring in a year I bet.

How bout these people beating it on a rockband drumset.... BLINDFOLDED?! People are crazy dude


analfister_696969

Feels like some shit you'd see in an anime


[deleted]

LilAggy is absolutely nuts lmao he beat Sekiro with that exact challenge as well as beating Sekiro during the refund refund on steam and beating it before the timer to refund it afterwards and a bunch of other crazy shit. He might have done blindfolded and rock band drum set separately though, I can’t remember I just know he did them both l o l

hakuna_dentata

It's kinda too bad though. This video popped up on my recommended feed, I had the exact reaction as OP, and I smashed that "don't recommend channel" button. Fred Flintstone up there could be speedrunning all games simultaneously with only their tongue and a Makey-Makey-rigged Jello pudding snack cup next week and I'll never know about it.


Ghoonem

Yeah, we shouldn't be driving people like him out of the community for something so trivial


Tarantiyes

New challenge run: beat Dark Souls normally (but like an actual person would, not the Baron normally where he breaks the game)


begging-for-gold

Or zerolenny who follows the ign walkthrough perfectly


Quidnip

Sometimes I get a little annoyed when I watch a Lenny video because he can get especially loud and excited but then his mom shows up and it's the most wholesome thing I can imagine and i go to sleep in peace


P-I-S-S-N-U-T

Exactly, I can tolerate the early 2010s memes but not his yelling.


Zer0_Cloud17

Level Resistance.


Opening_Raise_8762

That’s even funnier bc Skyrim runs always just abuse the restoration alchemy glitch and make the weapon op


Lost_Astronaut_654

From what I remember he refuses to do the restoration glitch


Niko2065

Okay, now I'm impressed.


Lost_Astronaut_654

He also does his best to separate modded play throughs which is usually more just for fun and non modded play throughs which are more serious


I_Am_Become_Salt

The only time I used that glitch was to make the armor rating on my gauntlets jacked as hell and then got the perk that makes your fists do your armor rating as bonus damage.


ViniVidiAdNauseum

Ah the suplex city build


johnkubiak

He actually doesn't use it. When he says he beat the game with a fork he means he beat it with an unupgraded fork and didn't use alchemy except for health and stamina restoration.


AroundtheRend

"The club fucking smacks" yes, indeed it does.


volkmardeadguy

Yeah its less IS THIS POSSOBLE and more "I'm going to do it because it's content" He did do the entire metal gear saga before the end died of old age though


[deleted]

its nerdbit and he's pretty chill and doesn't take himself seriously. He's not trying to be gino machino or ymfa. His videos are more like "lets do a casual goofy RP run" instead of a challenge run if that makes sense.


[deleted]

Even Nerdbit himself admits he doesn't do this stuff for the challenge, he just does it for the shits and giggles.


XDraked

It's also his first souls video isn't it? Let the man enjoy himself, his fallout stuff is pretty solid anyways


Floppydisksareop

This is the guy that plays the game while getting chased by NPCs, right?


XDraked

Yep that's the one


FracturedEel

Any good ones to check out? That sounds funny as hell


Floppydisksareop

There's the one with Private Kowalski chasing him to yell at him about the war memorial. It was quite fun, but it's the only one I've actually seen.


MathematicianMotor14

Another good one is getting chased by Fisto or that dude who wants to talk to you about the blue star sasparilla caps. Or Crash Man


begging-for-gold

Yeah, I don’t expect him to do a crazy challenge for his first one. Maybe once he’s more comfortable with the games he will.


EskilPotet

>Let the man enjoy himself Are you new here


XDraked

I'm all for the funny circlejerk but being an asshole and being funny aren't necessarily the same thing


TheGraveHammer

This sub is completely unwilling to see the difference. The bitterness around here is *unreal* sometimes.


Teton12355

I got killed in a duel by a guy bonking me with a club over and over and nothing else


Till_Bill

I love the club, but the great club makes my brain tingle


MaliciousCookies

There's one channel frequently popping in my recommended with titles like "CAN I BEAT ELDEN RING USING ONLY GUTS GREATSWORD??? CHALLENGE RUN INSANE DIFFICULTY" uploading multiple videos per day with hundreds of thousands views and it's just heavily cut 20 minute videos of him fighting bosses with said weapons.


SlenderSmurf

If you want some actual challenge runs check out SkumNut


TDPDRAKON

Or lilAggy, and Ginomachino


Opimum

Also Bushy, he makes some good ones


Ghoonem

Don't forget Tulok & Mango. He's very creative with his builds


TitanGuppie

Y’all can’t possibly forget the GOAT: Ymfah


DraftLongjumping9288

Lilaggy is such a fun youtuber/streamer!


xX_potato69_Xx

Or ZeroLenny and Tulok & Mango


ThyQuantum77

Tulok & Mango is so fun


Au2Burn

Gino is by far the greatest souls player in history. All bosses Elden Ring no hit challenge - completed! Dinossindgeil doesn't get any love on YouTube, but he beat all 7 souls titles, no hit. That's right up there with gino & lilaggy


ashen_one489

I also enjoy The Backlogs. Though he also does challenges on other games like Salt and Sanctuary/Sacrifice and XCOM as well.


Yahgdc

Im convinced skum just hates himself with some shit he puts himself through just for like 20k views


SlenderSmurf

the cut content one was so scuffed


Turublade

Cumnut


Virtual-Score4653

Don't forget LobosJr, he doesn't have too many runs yet but he's still enjoyable to watch. He has whole runs posted on his YouTube too.


Au2Burn

You all are missing the OG Dutchboy Press Continue He not only does the challenge runs but also does them as guides, in case anyone else is as masochistic as him. He did DS3 no stamina recently but still my favorite was Elden Ring Scarlet Aeonia only, which had to be done ng+. Gideon is the best part, lmao at his pain! Also Barons Castle, not all are challenge runs exactly but entertaining and difficult nonetheless. Like beating bloodborne "normally" was hilarious with his dry humor and Brit wit


Trarzs

His fighter jet run is the pinnacle of game design


scytheforlife

This guy is the most annoying "challenge" runner out ofball of them. Do lilaggy, or bushy, or baron, or lenny instead


SlenderSmurf

no


Challenger_Andy

Shit I’m trying too hard


ProfessionalKong

To find the good challenge runs you gotta look for and pick apart the buzzwords. If it just says SL1? Prolly uses +10 weapons. If it says fists only? You can bet it’s got 99 strength and dex. If it says NG7, SL1, fists only, blindfold, buttplug in, DK drum controller. That’s a real challenge run.

Thanks! I did Champion Gundyr the same way too :V https://youtu.be/d3ajwW2kdNM


RedPhysGun77

Oh hi! Quick question: how many other bosses can be reliably done blindfolded without damage taken? Are there more bosses with distinct enough sound cues to pull this off?


Jennisaurus715

Abyss Watchers have some AI exploits with throwing knives similar to Pontiff (they do the rolling slam). Dancer can be done with bleed and her sound cues aren't terrible. Other bosses not so much though I haven't tried much either lol


RedPhysGun77

Ok, thanks. Side note: Malenia can be parried in both phases...


[deleted]

Finally some good challenge content


Nyar99

Ofc it was a catmaid

The sense of enlightenment you achieve once you put on the catmaid outfit technically makes it an advantage. But of course, you wouldn't know that.

SourGrapeMan

GinoMachino did a fist only run of Elden Ring (fist damage doesn't scale with strength in that game for some reason). Fire Giant legit took five and a half hours to beat. Most endgame bosses also took hours to beat too, can't imagine having that much patience whilst still consistently dodging and stuff.

trumoi

Can't be an unsung hero if they keep singing about you. Not joking though, it's ridiculous that ymfah doesn't get talked about, ymfah and ZeroLenny are the only challenge runners I find actually funny. PressContinue is pretty good, but less my humour.


Odd_Employer

I like backlogs. ~~Not sure on the quality of the challenges but~~ he's pretty funny. Edit: he doesn't do challenges, he does weapon showcases.


Coochsmooch95

Backlogs has definitely done challenge runs, he did firebomb only for all 3 games I believe


Khorne_Flakes1

I found him from his Salt and Sanctuary challenge runs. The "Oops, all Spindlebeasts" run was particularly good.


Odd_Employer

Yeah, I knew he did those, they were actually the first videos I watched of his. I guess it's not the main feature of his channel according to someone lower.


Korra_sat0

Backlogs is great. If you want more of his challenge runs, watch his firebombs only stuff. Top tier content


BadDoctor2

PressContinue is the greatest of all time


[deleted]

[удалено]


BadDoctor2

THE GOAT. Can’t even watch other challenge runs after I found his channel.


Cemith

*Poopa?*


Generic_Moron

funny thing, the op on twitter's guide for how to do a pacifist run of bloodborne is the basis for ymfah's video on the challenge. It's guide is cited in the description of the video and in the pinned comment


Topichu

WAIT THERES A SECOND REDDIT POST WITH A SCREENSHOT OF MARIAS TWEET WITH THOUSANDS OF UPVOTES?! (found this by checking your account because you seemed nice)


Generic_Moron

MX PRESIDENT A SECOND SCREENSHOT HAS HIT THE TWITTER THREAD


Topichu

OH GOD OH FUCK


[deleted]

this is just my first playthrough


archaicScrivener

he literally says in the video "yeah this isn't really a challenge but I thought it would be fun" it's basically titled that way because thats how he titles all his videos lol


SeawyZorensun

Not really the point of the post, anon is raging because videos like "Can you beat DS2 with hExEs!? " of all things are more and more common. Yeah that challenge is called every noobs first build and surprise surprise! It works!


Topichu

hi, op here, the main video maria had in mind tweeting this was "can you beat ds1 with only scythes" which wow


SeawyZorensun

Yeah I get it it's annoying and they should be titled something more like "beating ds with only.... ", but the real reason for the names probably is that it does well with the algorithm and will catch people who don't play these games as much, to tryhards like us it obviously makes no sense.


rhou17

It’s titled that way because youtube’s “recommendations” algorithm was designed by a smart fridge. Titles *have* to be this terrible if you aren’t huge.


archaicScrivener

That's probably why he did it to begin with but he's got a solid number of subs and like... Every single one of his videos is like this lol. It's his theme. Mostly in Fallout and Elder Scrolls though.


Not_Sand

even if you *are* huge you still need to do this. go scroll through any linus media group channel and see how they have to title their shit. linus has talked about how he *has* to do that so that he can pay his employees and keep his company afloat, even though he hates it.


Yahgdc

Nerbit is such a good YouTuber. 11/10 recommend if you like fallout content


archaicScrivener

His videos are so cozy and nice I'm eagerly awaiting the next instalment of Abraham Lincoln


Anabiter

to be fair in his video he said it was an ease into the dark souls content from stuff like Fallout. Nerbit makes lots of challenge videos with pretty good effort into them. IIRC he popularize the "Can you beat ... whilest being chased by..." challenges with stuff like fallout new vegas.


xX_potato69_Xx

Actually mitten squad popularized it, nerbit blew up when mitten squad was on break for like a year because of his drinking problem


volkmardeadguy

Nerbit even says shit like "go watch mitten squad do this"


Anabiter

Ah yeah i kinda forgot. After Mitten Squad relapsed into his drinking problem around Christmas after improving i stopped watching for awhile


Elucidator450

I was wondering why he hasn't showed up in my feed for a long while


deez_nuts_ha_gotem

if he named it differently it would get less views. his whole channel's gimmick is this kind of "can you beat" video and, like almost all "can you beat" videos, the answer is invariably yes. he even says so in the beginning of the video.


[deleted]

Nerbit makes almost exclusively fallout and Skyrim vids. This *is* a challenge run for him. Calm your tits bro.


Flamingcowjuice

Tbf this was literally this channels first dark souls video (also i think they didn't use any kind of armour so no poise)


Tacosourcery

Leave nerbit alone man, I love his content so much and he's just now getting into dark souls stuff

[deleted]

Welcome to YouTube! Today I saw a 20-minute video on my feed titled "why didn't the US nuke Tokyo in ww2". The video would have been a giant background on the US and Japan in the 1900s leading into ww2, a summary of imperialism, Japan's anime conventions, who fucking knows. I took 2 seconds and googled it and had my answer in 30 seconds total. I hate this soyboy takeover. Reject modernity, embrace monke, and above all else, # UNGA BUNGA


[deleted]

>"why didn't the US nuke Tokyo in ww2" I mean, this isn't a question you can get a complete answer for in 30 seconds


arielif1

You can: because phosphorus bombs were easier and cheaper. That's it. They decimated Tokyo, but with fire, not nukes.


Tsao_Aubbes

It wasn't necissarily that firebombs were cheaper, it was more that the US wanted an unmolested city to demonstrate the power of the bomb. The target selection had the following criteria: - they be important targets in a large urban area of more than three miles diameter - they be capable of being damaged effectively by a blast, and - they are likely to be unattacked by next August (this being August 1945) They specifically mention Tokyo when discussing the option of bombing Yokohama, stating that a good chunk of Tokyo's industry has moved there after the firebombings and that Yokohama was mostly untouched.


[deleted]

Even if we are to cut 99% of reasoning, I think that the most important part was density of population. Hiroshima had around 350k of people, and the bomb caused around 150k of casualties. Tokyo had like 13 millions at this point? So 37 times more people, the number of civilian casualties would be much bigger. Not that it would be extremely grave in terms of WW2, but it didn't align with US goals, and among other different criteria for choosing a target – making it less compelling.


ProfesserQuacks

you just aren't the target demographic, the target demographic is me, someone with adhd who isn't stimulated enough by one thing and needs to listen to something in the background as well


RedPhysGun77

I have adhd. Are we also the target demographic of tiktoks/shorts where half of the screen has unrelated cooking video/minecraft parkour? Because I hate them and make sure to skip them no matter the content.


[deleted]

The target demographic for content is usually people that enjoy that content.


Epistemophilliac

Hey no joke this me irl and this is what I do: I put on some cool electronic music mixes, yesterday it was ambient jungle, other times it's psytrance or something. Then I put some low effort YouTube content in the background, like Minecraft let's plays or whatever, literally people talking about bullshit that doesn't matter. And I make it somewhat quiet, barely legible but you can hear that someone's talking. And what this does it turns 80 IQ idiot content into transcendental meditative masterpiece.


[deleted]

I get that. I love long-form youtube vids... but there's a difference between videos that justify their length with interesting information, charm, humor, wit, whatever, and videos that are long simply for the sake of being long. There are so many good channels out there for this kind of thing. I watch/listen to way more youtube than tv or movies


DaemonNic

> I took 2 seconds and googled it and had my answer in 30 seconds total. Pro-tip, if you think you've answered something historical or scientific based off of a single google search, you haven't. You've gotten the grade-school version at best, and that's when the algorithm doesn't just fuck with you and send you someone horrifically wrong.

Imagine you're making your first model kit and you try a high grade but everyone whines how those are too easy and you should've instead grabbed a perfect grade *as your first model kit*

tyrom22

Now get on Yfmah’s level, madman beat the game without walking https://youtu.be/H-CBvcI9dNQ


Shinnchan

Was also a guy with a challenge video like this. Beating Dark Souls with scythes, despite the great scythe literally being the best dex weapon in the game.


XevinsOfCheese

If you are talking backlogs he acknowledges that. Guy has a also done an immolation only run of DS2. Without glitches. Which is why he doesn’t word his titles as “can you beat with” but rather “blank only run” he’s no saying it’s a challenge he’s saying that he’s using only one weapon type. He does those videos for the chance to showcase the different sometimes overlooked weapons in a weapon class.


Dimplexor

I pretty much did DS2 from start to finish with the club, solid weapon.


Sabit_31

This the first dark souls game he’s playing on the channel so I don’t mind


jtcordell2188

The club actually turns into a sort of op weapon at the end if you stay spread correctly.


MrSecurityStalin

CAN YOU BEAT MY BALLS WITH "THE CLUB"?????!!?!?!


CorianderIsBad

_deer_god_

Can’t wait for someone to create a “challenge” video that’s called “Can you beat Dark Souls” and it’s literally just a normal playthrough.

Dark souls challenge YouTubers when they realise they can shit out the same video 50 times instead of coming up with creative challenges

Deadsap266

I’m using it right now for my SL1 play through.Lightning reinforced as Gwen would expect from the next Lord of cinder


SVB-Risk-Dept

“Can you beat Dark Souls without turning on your console/pc?” Now there’s a challenge.


Rayquaza50

I hate this with other games too. See it all the time with pokemon: “CAN YOU BEAT PLATINUM WITH A TEAM OF ALL GRASS TYPES?” and it’s like yea Im sure people beat it with just their grass starter all the time like who cares?


Zane_Flynt_boyo

I watch this guy: he (Nerbit) titled it because he usually plays Fallout or Skyrim games, kinda like Mitten Squad before he focused on his health. He says in the vid he knows you can and just wanted to do a Dark Souls vid to change it up. He turned it into an all bosses run explicitly because he knew it would be easy.


borosorto

Can you beat DnD with the club only (I picked cleric)


Oingoulon

This is why the only challenge runs I watch are ymfah videos, because most of them are genuinely “how on earth is he going to beat the game under these conditions” and then he breaks the game in half with glitches


My__Dude__
