chimney hurts my soul

chimney is the bane of my existence, and getting the marionette hands is hard

i thought abyss was bad (until i got good), but chimney, chimney proved that there is much worse in this game. what maniac decided to put ice physics, endless mode, freezing mechanics, dangerous/breaking holds and reduced stamina regen (idk if thats true but i swear stamina regens slower in chimney) into one mode then lock the coolest cosmetic in the game behind it.

combined with all of the above, you also get a tiny amount of perks and breaks, and no roaches besides occasionally from presents. the ice gun/cryo gun also sucks, its basically just ranged pitons you need to recharge every now and then, but they base the entire mode around it, so after you get it there is basically no climbing and the mode boils down to just planning your route ahead of time and then climbing it quickly so you don't slip.

not to mention it is brutally hard as past the interlude, the k-coolant starts going unnecessarily fast just as you reach the part where you have to slow down the most. i have got past gelid spire once, and that run died when i fumbled under the stress and fell, and i didnt even have the marionette blink eye with me.

if you have any tips, please give me them because i am going insane playing this mode, i just want to be done with it and have my funny rho marionette hands because rho is cool.

tune in next time when they release the core to my rant about why that is annoying too (i suck at this game)
