At 1:43, Hydramist says this:
He gets a rapid fire. I get it off. It’s lucky. We get the fear. It’s a good fear. And we go for the mine blast.
At first glance, I’m wondering what this has to do with a postmortem. I don’t know it’s part of one or not.
I notice a lot of times that people who review their gameplay and mistakes do a kind of commentary about it. It sounds like a play by play of stuff that happens. There doesn’t seem to be anything too wrong going on in the quote.
I have some idea about each ability or attack or item being used. Like, sometimes I see an attack happen or a debuff is applied.
Saying it’s a “good fear” sounds like a good play or getting lucky with it.
Here’s the next part a few seconds later:
I go for the defensive penants here cuz I wasn’t topped and I was like, well, I just want to make sure I’m staying safe.
I looked online what a “penant” is and found that it’s actually penance. It’s an ability for the class/race I think Hydramist is playing.
I think he’s stating one of his goals in the quote. So if there’s a mistake that happens then it could be with one of the goals that were stated. He could be playing too safe or not safe enough and that’s something he could rewind and watch for.
I think he already mentioned his strategy and a goal. If there’s something wrong he can watch his replay and analyze if he could do better. He could see that maybe the mortar wouldn’t be enough to kill the cat or that he was going to compromise his safety if he did a certain action.
It’s kind of hard so far to see the postmortem in the video. I think I probably need to think about what you do in one and relate it to the video…Idk. I know you investigate an error in a postmortem. I think he does that some for the first duel. He investigates stuff.
