Iskall is scared of cats and his favorite color is green. I’m starting to think he might be a creeper…
BUT THATS JUST A THEORY... AN ISKALL THEORY 😂
And he has a gunpowder factory this season! It’s all adding up!
and a cyborg eye... is iskall just doc? XD
Hey who said creepers LIKE green. They didn't choose to be green
@@kyleyoung2464creepers see everything in green
16:05 "Hopefully... I'll do her proud in terms of size." Cub, here's a new sound clip for your horn shop.
cub is going to be assigning sounds to horns for years to come 😭
“I’m all stoned out for today” 11:19
@cubfan135
lmao I didn't even think anything about that.
Ah yes, horn shop
Clicking on an Iskall video and hearing Grian's voice immediately threw me off
Your nickname threw me off too
Your pfp threw me off
@user-hf2ie8uh6d Your username threw me off
delicious name fr
This happened to me on Scar’s video as well lol
Came for the Hermitcraft content, stayed for the plastic peel from the PC.
Hahaha :)
Speaking of which, Iskall pls tell me that photo wasn’t one you took of your actual desk with your real life current setup on the left. It looked like a stock image. Tiny monitor, no pens, no coffee cup, literally no items at all, no personalized mousepad, no art on the walls, no sticky notes… nothing? It looks like an empty desk from jojo corp. Please tell me you cleaned up specially for the video and you don’t live full time in a blank beige nightmare 😭🙏
@@SunflowerMead0w You can see about half a metre wide from his office for an ad presentation. How does this tell you anything about his setup?
@@SunflowerMead0wso apparently i live in a corporate house setup because i dont have anything? for me its just I don't like clutter and i cant buy art so i don't really decorate
Iskall and Stress' friendship has become one of my favourite things ever to watch
"You hang up first." "No you hang up first." "No we'll hang up together."
This reminded me when I was a kid talking on my house telling my friend to hang up lol not being the 1st one to hungup 😂😂
These two are definitely very sweet on each other. Playfully flirty and funny.
@@beniman292 This reminded me of puppy love when you were 12/13 lol.
Stress: like a ga-ah Iskall: yeah, a gut-ter
Bri'ish FTW. Although, she didn't say "You've built sumfink" like a Bri'ish too, so..... EDIT - Oh... but she did say "mingin'".
when making elevation transitions, use retaining walls. Theres endless designs to take inspiration from irl and its so common that most people dont even pay attention to them in urban settings
This
Agreed!
And once you add stairs around as well they'll look less weird
I hope he uses mudbrick, that'd break up the grey
I think grey concrete would look good for some retaining walls.
8:54 'Great Sucess' - Iskall 2024 WE NEED THIS AS A HORN!!!!!
YES! AGREED!
Absolutely!!!!!
You should tweet this to Cub
I believe it exists and Etho has it!
You HAVE to make it a canal street, especially since False wants the river to go that way, Stress already picked the Amsterdam style, could have some little bridges with lights instead of the lampposts
11:20 “I’m all stoned out for today and I don’t know if I love it anymore. I don’t know where this is going!” - 420skall
"You hang up" "No, you hang up~"
Is it just me or does it sometimes feel like they are flirting. It's kind of adorable tbh.
Where is the timestamp I cant find it anywhere
26:12 stress says both lines I think
@@Gojibeere99 Thank you!
@@immabird7861in character as joking: yes, in real life: no
13:57 Because Cluedo Street looks like Amsterdam, maybe the river should transition into a canal or canals? I think that would be pretty sweet!
ooooh, a canal would be cool! good place to find a body in a murder mystery 😂
I was looking for this comment. It would tie everything together so well.
I think the area should be called Co-openhagen or V-Nice too
Came here to comment the same, it would be my go to idea
16:06 “hopefully I’ll do her well in terms of size” 💀
💀
someone need to give this to cub for the goat hornes lmao
THIS NEEDS TO BE ON A HORN 😭👏🏽✨
I hope he never stops using those horns. Worth every diamond
Yesss
I think it may look awkward right now because it's just out in the open plains, but if you think of the Murder Mystery street as like "downtown," then you can connect what you're building and make it all more cohesive :)
That’s a great idea!
That intro is everything I'd ever wanted from the custom horns. I'm so happy.
Ren: I go play in the mud this season Iskall: I go make a big parking lot
Iskall loved America so much that he's bringing it to Minecraft
@@riztiz 💀💀
Iskall sounds like he's having a lot of fun with his build this season. Some of it's forceful. Building a section you're worried about like eating your vegetables. But for as much as the build shouldn't work, it's super good. I love it when Iskall is making cool builds.
0:48 i really thought he was going to say he needed to buy more horns lol
He did say that just seconds after
14:13 I can’t speak for Amsterdam since I’ve never been there, but in some of the older cities in the US you can find beautiful old homes that look like this, just a few blocks away from the hyper-modern city centers. To me, a spooky residential street isn’t out of place at all in your base’s setting! :)
I'm Dutch and Amsterdam has a very distinct style that is similar but also very different. As the facades are very unique and stress' houses don't have those. But even without them they look amazing
Im olso dutch and he is right
Makes extra sense given iskall getting stoned out a few buildings away
The green at the top almost looks like a different style of storage container that’s been renovated. Like, while building the apartments, they ran out of materials and decided to shove it up there instead. Absolute chaos :D
You could make the sharp stone wall look like a failing retainer wall so the bricks broke up and the earth is spilling out
I was thinking the same thing
8:17 Iskall you might want to look into a problem people currently have with ASUS motherboards. They pushed a bios update that fried people's motherboards by randomly spiking the voltage from 1.5v to 2v to kill the lifespan of people's computers, they refused to compensate people and then made a beta driver update to help fix it but saying you sign your warranty away when you install it.
That's just corporate evil right there.
Iskall seems to be getting the Grian sindrome, he isn't building the back...
Iskall: goes to the US Immediately after returning to Hermitcraft: builds a white house
The custom stone biome could end up really cool next to Ren's custom mud terrain, kind of like Iskall's building on another planet as well. It'd also fit well with the slime and shading on the creeper farm, like its sort of alien :)
Ren's Wall, hopefully, will negate the clash, or the need for some kind of coherent transition. Which should obviously otherwise be nether portal fence. Tall fences make good neighbours. Lol can you imagine how much havoc that'd wreak with the post system?
I feel Iskall's concrete floor should transition into Ren's biome too. Like if the factory was built in the middle of a wasteland or something like that.
Ren's packed mud biome is my least favorite thing in this entire Hermitcraft world. Does not belong in the neighborhood and neither does a stone biome. This should be out on its own :(
As someone from the Netherlands familiar with the Amsterdam Voc canalhouses, I think you are correct with the similarities. Having industrial buildings along with urban living areas isn’t that uncommon for many older city’s. You could look into some other Voc cities to get some more inspiration if needed. Like Hoorn, Enkhuizen, Medemblik, and for keeping the water out, you should look up the Fries Woudagemaal. You could add some big pipe towers to your builds with smoke coming out, have a nice harbor for supplying of goods and transport. The area is coming along very nice and interesting looking.
"no u hang up, no u hang up" hahah so cute i really appreciate your thought process on all these builds, and they're looking awesome!
this week on hermitcraft: iskall gets stoned out of his mind
I don't think PC specialist always ship it in a wooden crate I got mine just in a cardboard box but i think it doesn't really matter it was well packaged anyway they put foam in the case as well , very fancy and iskall is right about PC specialist the amount of service is amazing you get frequent updates with photos even a fancy 360 preview it is amazing
I haven't used them before but when I looked at a pc for a friend I found they have some of the worst price to performance, if you're in the UK AWD-IT is much better value, several hundred cheaper, looking at their pre configured pcs, £1.1k is crazy for an RTX 3060, for £100 less you can get a pc with well over double the performance and its not even like you're building it yourself, this is just looking at other prebuilt companies.
Iskal is afraid of cats... so that means he is a creeper in disguise. also you could leave the monstrosolith in some sort of small circle greenery around. Like a small park or something like that to break the "blockyness"
The green box at the top of your base could be another shipping container. I like the idea of a shipping container dropped on the roof and repurposed for living.
13:20 It would be interesting to have not only houses, but also a police station, a forensic lab, a weapons shop and other places that could have evidence for the crime, or have ways to analyze the evidence. Like the lab could analyze pieces of hair found on the crime scene.
12:50-don't forget the parking lots and fencing and sidewalks and roads. All urban environs have them
*@iskall85* 9:03 Simple, *You DON'T deal with that elevation change,* instead just build a building there (maybe a underground parking garage exit? or a store? or something?) that cuts out the elevation & makes it reasonable to "explain" why the elevation suddenly jumps down so far :)
Hey Iskall the top green room of the apartment can be a penthouse/ur Bedroom.
A rooftop cafe with a view would also be cool.
If you’re going for the Amsterdam style, you could build the canal down the middle of the street as well.
15:17 he had me in the first half not gonna lie 😅
It has one week a and the horns are already wreaking havoc and I LOVE IT!!!
One of the worst permits made out to be top tier.
@antman7673 because Cub is a mad genius when it comes to marketing. He's doing custom fireworks. The horns using the data pack. Very smart plays. Keralis has the Leaves permit. He could make bank offering some of his own genius-tier custom booshes. The guys with the metal permits, IMO, are missing out on the opportunity to sell the raw blocks. Raw copper especially since X is "organically" mining his.
wreacking havoc* :)
Cub gonna be richer than Cleo inside of a month lol
@@MoonyFBM fucking autocorrect
If you are going for an amsterdam style then you could maybe run the canal through the middle and have bridges connecting both sides
21:07 “Probably not that though. That’s mingin’.” WHY DID THAT TAKE ME OUTTTT 😂😂
Thank you so much for filming and sharing the film removal. So satisfying 💚💚💚
I would actually recommend smooth deepslate for the surroundings of the base. Stone from a distance is quite a blank texture and adds very little contrast, and any attempt at texturing will stick out amongst the bright gray. Conversely, smooth deepslate has contrast and any texturing done to it will be subtle, since its other variants don't contrast as heavily as stone's variants. Also, stone biomes have been done before, and stone can be instamined, while deepslate would be more impressive and would add contrast to the bright and colorful buildings.
Deepslate would match your theme very well!
Ah that peel was one of the best pieces of iskall content I've ever consumed! So satisfying
I imagine seeing sewage pipes letting toxic sludge into the river out of the factory. I also love the murder mystery street and think you and Stress should build an awesome bridge over the future river together, that's just full chaos.
Just to let you know every time a hermit streams their chat hat informs them about mission possible but many of them say I don't know anything about that so I'm probably not supposed to touch it and I'm not just going to trust my chat. So if you do want to open it up to everyone you may want to send out a discord message or something
I will!
Make sure they already set an XMP profile in BIOS and that they set a proper power limit as Raptor lake (Intel 13th/14th gen) CPU's have been known to be very unstable on some vendors mainboards due to not having proper Power limits set (That includes ASUS).
I love how Stress and your bases are joined!
Make it like the water ways in Amsterdam/Holland. Okay as I was typing this you talked about building the structures in that style. 😂
I'm glad people are embracing the horns so much. Cub is working super hard trying to find those quotes!
12:00 I'd add some mossy cobblestone close to grass blocks, I think it'll transitionate better and sell a look of moss growing from the grass
Hi Iskall. I have an idea for the height differences. In London South Bank, they are similar height differences. There is a skate park underneath the raise section. There isn’t a solid cliff, like you’ve done so far. They have pillars holding it up, but it’s partially hollow beneath, and skaters hang out there. Building something similar with pillars below might make the height differences flow better.
It could also be neat to have a canal running through the middle of the mystery village’s street like in Amsterdam. With little bridges crossing back and forth
Where the green box is on the apartments, what about a rooftop garden instead?
Retaining walls are a good idea, like little walls to hold up small strips of greenery, but also what if you made buildings be the transitions for different heights :o Like a doorway on a higher elevation, go down the stairs in the building, and exit another doorway at a lower elevation?
I like how open and honest you are with your sponsorships Iskall, it honestly gives off a greater delivery than the sponsorships with scripts etc that some other companies / KZheadrs do. The open book nature of how you get along with them makes them sound like a great company to work with and an amazing sponsor as a whole 😊
Thank you! I rarely do sponsorships, and I think being honest and open is always better, and yes, pcspecialist have been amazing
3:22 "Now, today I want to start the process of stoning up... (Chuckles)" iskall85 the quotable, you have done it again.
Wondering, why do you wanna set up the new PC from scratch? You could just plug your old SSD into the new PC and clone the filesystem to the new SSD from a live USB stick. Then you'd be up and running in about 15 minutes.
Would you throw out the old PC? I can almost always find a use for them, even if it's donating them to people I know (after thoroughly wiping the hard drive)
@@6022 Well, you'd put the old SSD back into it again after that.
It is possible to simply plug in an SSD and let windows work out the drivers required to handle all of the different hardware. The problem is, it can do wonky things with the OS when you do that. The best practice is to start with a clean install of windows and reinstalling the software you need on the new build. However, plugging in your old SSD in as a secondary drive so that you copy over documents and the plethora of software files makes a LOT of sense! Also when you’re done, you can wipe the drive and have more storage still.
@@quixoticshaman3879 I thought that was only a problem with older Windows versions like Windows 95/98. To be fair, I haven't used Windows since XP, switched to Linux back then.
@@DASPRiD I’m not saying it doesn’t work, it can work. It’s better if you go from say Intel to Intel processor… it’s gets more problematic if you go Intel to AMD or vice versa. Also, video card drivers and other loaded software for chipsets and other management software like from MSI or ASUS, etc.
hello neighbour, norwegian mailman here! i have experienced shipping wooden crates before, however not of that size. i used to deliver to a company that made drilling equipment for oil rigs among other things, and they'd get things like hoses and such in wooden crates for safety reasons. i think it just proves how much pc specialist values their customers and want to avoid customers sending back damaged goods by making sure that everything arrives in good condition.
Yep! Thank you for the insight neighbour :)
For the elivation problem Winding waky staircases. You can make the wall look like a lift. Some staircases can look like escalators. You can put convaterbelts/moving sidewalks as just a look and facade of, I'm imagining the Jenisons mixed with chaos concrete jungle
Yessshhh! HORNS!
The one thing I want is that you’ll make a vault hunters reference
Oooooh yeah baby! Savor the peelies! That intro is everything though!
15:16 i was almost convinced and got worried there. Could be a goat horn as well
Lots of love from India ❤❤ Please keep creating the awesome content man, You are my favorite hermit
Diorite Destruction Factory!!!!!!!!!!
8:20 I’ll be honest… I’m a little surprised at the lack of cooling for a 14900K… Iskall said he needs a silent computer… if you’re building a $3k+ pc, why not include a Arctic Cool 3 360mm AIO or something for $150? That tower cooler and single 120mm fan are gonna be working SUPER hard to keeps things cool!
I like the sharp angles; embrace the brutalist style!
Today's Fact: The 'Doppelganger Effect' is a strange phenomenon where people see an identical copy of themselves in their peripheral vision.
Of course the fun fact will be up two minutes after he posts
It is actually the first comment
every like this gets ill do no pushups at allll
hope my like helped your cause
Bot
What if we don't like?
Better put it on camera, need proof.
47 no pushups, get to work
add lots of stairs and handrails to break up the flat walls
I have never been more stunlocked by an intro LOL You & Stress are always so funny together
Today’s Fact: I don’t have a fun fact.
Iskall, I think to make the stone look a little less out of place, you could consider building like, a main center plaza. So maybe you have a fountain in the middle and some trees that line the sides, I feel like that would give it a central area for all of the apartments to sort of surround or congregate around, and then you can fill the apartments with idk like farms or storage or villagers. That way, your main area where you'll be going between buildings will be the plaza, where you can access farms and transfer items to some kind of main storage system perhaps in a bigger apartment building or maybe underground? Could be a good idea for how you make it into a long-term base solution.
I love the direction you're going with this base. Keralis in season 7 did something similar in terms of "floorage". Maybe you can get inspired from it. He did some diagonals, many changes of elevation which looked great in this style
Definitely have the water coming out of a pipe! Doesn’t have to mean that it’s sewage, but it could be a pipe to a canal/river! You could grab inspo from Keralis’ city base? He did well with concrete terraforming!
iskall and stress are like a couple "You hang up" "No, you hang up" "Nooo, YOU hang up"
Scar did some amazing, concrete jungly terraforming for mumbo in that season where mumbo built the big globe. Maybe that style could work for you
I feel the use of natural looking stone terrain could provide a sense of disorder as if the foundation has broken down in some parts kinda hard to convey what I'm trying to say but would go with the non stop industrial chaos theme u got going on rn. Rlly been loving how you build looking forward to watching it continue to grow
11:20 - "I'm all stoned out for today" Send munchies
8:41 that peel off was indeed so satisfying! Thanks for sharing!
The whole time I was imagining a little park around the Monolith!!!
You could do something along the lines of Chengdu, the change of elevation, instead of being a flat wall, becomes a new building. Then add some bit and bobs on the horizontally flat sections.
"The fan on my PC broke... better replace the whole thing..." "Airs low on my tire... better go car shopping..." "My bedroom door squeaks when I open it... I should start looking for a new house..." I'm joking and honestly would absolutely look for any reason for a new PC or game console as well.
wasn't expecting to hear a k-drama "no, you hang up first" conversation in a hermitcraft video but i'm all for it lol
Iskall you should make the window at the bottom left of the green part of the building (the one with the AC and the cat) be lit up to make your shading make more sense since that would be the light source causing the shading.
Iskall: There are no slopes in Minecraft. Scar: Hello There! Me: Ah General Scar-nobi.
“No more stoning for now” lol 13:47
the excellent packaging! My son received a new pc case this week, husband took the delivery, looked at the box looked to the driveway, delivery guy had literally bolted and was driving away. The case is damaged. Son now has to go through the warranty process. Such a hassle. So glad you got your delivery safely. Enjoy
Iskall: You have to promise. Stress: *pauses* Iskall: NOPE 21:35
You can enchant your shears to shred through the wool!
8:44 ahhhhhhh. Thank you for sharing that with us
Idea for stone transition between levels: retaining walls, stone brick or red brick (textured of course) with a railing is what they would do in a city. No gradual hills, just a wall and maybe stairs. Pulling plastic was fantastic! Give Tango your cats in his starter base (it keeps spawning exploding creepers).
Iskall, you could combine your borders with Ren and do the wasteland terrain. It would make your build look like post apocalyptic grunge/industrial. I think it would look great and you could share lore if you want!
What if you put a hand railing on the top of the white building, maybe granite and fence posts for a splash of color...? It would divide the levels of ground in a way that feels natural to the eye.... Railings at cliff edges are a thing irl after all.!
Living in a container is like living in a mini van
Ooooh... False's river could flow through the middle of the town (Like Venice) and that way you could build gondolas and pathways over the river and have a cool little environment...
Nopt gonna lie...... I liked the deepslate wall and froglight street lamps. They look a lot like the ones we have here in parks and plazas - they make me think of pedestrian only streets and cosy outdoor vibes. Sure Stress' design with the hanging lantern is cute too, but it's more fantasy-medieval imo, and since the houses already have hanging lanterns incorporated in their facades it makes things look more cluttered without adding variation. Sometimes simpler IS better.
I suggest, to make the terrain look more manmade and concrete, never use one block of stone. Make drops and edges 2 blocks high at minimum, it feels counterintuitive for movement but a beacon fixes that and the overall look is better. You're already doing it a bit on the way up from the container.
I think the road may look better if the looks aren't just random, but more as a gradient. So that the middle of the lanes (if cars are on the road) is used more, and the sides are used less. But otherwise, I really liked the houses (facades)
