[shell hatch]

My current build for P5 grind is Unbreakable Strenght + Mark of Pride + Quickslash + Steady Body,
and in the last bench I swap Quickslash for Quick Focus

[light snow]

because you get to eat snails for it

[crisp willow]

...uh-? Does they know?

[crisp willow]

YOU ARE THE REASON SNAIM SHAMANS ARE GONE

[obtuse sundial]

Real people adapt to the default nail size and replace any nail modifier charms. Trust me, its worth it.

[drifting sluice]

i mean the game it self doesn't banned you from beating boss by not using charm you can choose your own difficulty so i guess no. Just keep doing what you like i guess

[subtle knoll]

but escargot is french

[light snow]

im a professional snail eater, no matter the kingdom none are safe with me

[worthy peak]

Wouldn't advise the swap. I'd suggest strength as a better swap of you really need quickfocus though

[light snow]

oh trust me we eat snails in italy too

and hallownest

is just

[dim lance]

this discord has 400k people so very rarely will you be the only one who enjoys doing something in the game

[light snow]

rome

trust me

[crisp willow]

Yeah but using my brain and "experience" to distance my self properly and beat the shit out of the boss that bullied me is super fun

[subtle knoll]

all roads lead to hallownest

[shell hatch]

Quick focus enables so many heal opportunities, particulary during NKG, PV and Absrad

[light snow]

hallownest lasts eternal!!

[shell hatch]

I just feel safe when using it

[subtle knoll]

mantises are the best

[crisp willow]

An.. admin- commented on my messeage.

Why do i feel the same feeling as "THERE ARE 2 KINGSMOULDS AT THE END OF THIS HELL OF A PARKOUR?"

[carmine wraith]

After his family, the Snail Shaman from Ancestral Mound will probably stress-eating himself after he heard that’s most of his family is dead.

[shell hatch]

My country sadly doesn't have mantises

I would like to see one live

[light snow]

tho this does imply that hallownest atleast at a time was ruled by a theocracy which could possibly be the radiance

[light snow]

they're nothing special

[worthy peak]

Isn't there a bench after nkg?! Can't remember well give. It's been a while since I did P5

[carmine wraith]

I like mantis, though

[shell hatch]

They're cool

[light snow]

they're a little scary

[crisp willow]

You wouldnt like irl version of them-

There is no such thing as tribe life in irl mantises. Heck they even haye their own children probably

[subtle knoll]

all of the bindings are ok except the health binding i hate it

[worthy peak]

Also nkg let's you heal after every attack anyway

[light snow]

also mantises eat the male's head during mating

fun fact

[crisp willow]

All of them are ok exept the one where it makes my fingers disobey their mastress.

[shell hatch]

There's bench in room 43 and then you have 7 more bosses

[crisp willow]

Not so fun fact*

[subtle knoll]

what

[shrewd meadow]

well nobody else in this server enjoys doing r5 dashless successfully

[crisp willow]

Sarcasm"

[light snow]

a not so fun fact is wasps having photographic memory

[static burrow]

Hi gang

[worthy peak]

Are you sure there isn't another?

[light snow]

how is that even possible

[crisp willow]

I- I do like Rs

[shrewd meadow]

cool they can photograph the moment they die

[crisp willow]

Dashless is a bit overboars tho

[subtle knoll]

playing hollow knight after silksong is an experience.

[static burrow]

hollow knight is peak

[shell hatch]

Oh wait there is a bench before PV you're right

[shrewd meadow]

pretty easily actually

[static burrow]

Damn

[light snow]

a BAD one

i cant FLOAT

i dont like that

[worthy peak]

Well doesn't matter much I suppose. You use the charms you want. :)

[subtle knoll]

i like it. floating was annoying i wanted to double jump immediately

[shell hatch]

Fr after I 100% silksong and came back to P5 grind, I was constantly trying to float and clawline

Such fun abilities

[crisp willow]

How about both :3

[obtuse sundial]

But... you do double jump immeadiately

[light snow]

yeah no this

[dim lance]

except me

[worthy peak]

What? You || double jump the float if you have both||

[shrewd meadow]

do it then

[light snow]

you double jump and then float...???

[dim lance]

already have, just forgot to hit record

[obtuse sundial]

Correct

[shrewd meadow]

no proof didn't happen you know this zal

[worthy peak]

If you enjoy it you won't mind repeating it

[dim lance]

you think i, Zaliant, AKA the great SnowCottonLeaf would lie about something

[crisp willow]

Is the link in your bio the video of r5 dashless

[dim lance]

why i have never lied in my LIFE

[subtle knoll]

ok you need to understand here, hollow knight has made me unbelievably rusty in silksong and i have stage 23990189201839217298 dementia

[crisp willow]

Why did i take this seriously for a second

[worthy peak]

Big number

[dim lance]

?whois 23990189201839217298

[idle belfry]

I couldn't find the user 23990189201839217298.

Okay fine. I forgive you. THIS TIME

[dim lance]

it looked like a user ID

[crisp willow]

[obtuse sundial]

Even though its impossible

My luck would make it miss

the hollow knight down slash is pretty easy to hit but the silksong one is impossible

[ashen ginkgo]

Eggs say

Because bread tastes better than key

The bread chooses the prisoner instead of the key. Why didnt he push the prisoner to the key

[main crow]

BECAUSE PRISONER TASTES BETTER THAN KEY

[vale condor]

Aight cool

[vale condor]

"The breads instincts overrided the instinct of freedom and wanted it to be eaten" prisoner tastes better than key

[pure valve]

im uhh scared of my friend now

they sent me this

dream nail before mothwing cloak

they didnt speedrun btw

they somehow

got 1800 geo before greenpath and bought the lanter

n

[shrewd meadow]

not the same people in hollow knight, I thought silksong was relatively balanced actually

but this isn't the place for further discussion of silksong

[young lake]

S*lksong

[pure valve]

THATS THE POINT

[woven knot]

Wrong channel mb gng

[keen thorn]

Ok throwout

[shrewd meadow]

Okay, Genio250.

[keen thorn]

We need jolly throwout123

[shrewd meadow]

its not christmas

its illegal

[keen thorn]

New years soon tho :3

[shrewd meadow]

thats not jolly time

[keen thorn]

Yes it is

Jolly 2026

[shrewd meadow]

no

i HATE 2026

[keen thorn]

But sea of sorrow

And uh

What else is 2026

[shrewd meadow]

exactly

you should be sorrowful

not jolly

[keen thorn]

Well I'll remain jolly

[last moon]

Soul Master has another phase?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[shrewd meadow]

soul master has 4 phases

[last moon]

...

[shrewd meadow]

the one where he is alive in phase 1
the one where he is dead in phase 1
the one where he is alive in phase 2
and the one where he is dead in phase 2

[last moon]

👍

[keen thorn]

And the one where he's alive in phase 3

[shrewd meadow]

thats 5 genio

where did you learn to count

[autumn ice]

No genio clearly said phase 3

[keen thorn]

I invented counting

[autumn ice]

That's less than 5

[shrewd meadow]

no

[last moon]

and here I though that Soul Master would take me less attempts than Hornet (I suck at this game)

[hollow tulip]

I wanna strangle Zote

[subtle glacier]

puh

[tall marten]

Okay, I defeated false knight, hornet once, crystal guardian, mantis lords, and soul master, are any of these mandatory? Or could I have gone the whole story without beating them?

And if so, where IS the next mandatory boss?

[lavish geyser]

I AM SO PISSED

[shrewd meadow]

truembert

[subtle glacier]

define mandatory

[lavish geyser]

9 hours into a steel soul run then died i was at 90% completion rate

crying

[chrome otter]

prob a boss that gives him smth that'll make him able to progress

[tall marten]

^^^^

[chrome otter]

broken vessel i think

[shrewd meadow]

none of those are a requirement to beat the game

[chrome otter]

or not necessarily able to progress but a good ability

[subtle glacier]

that’s why i’m asking bc there are ways around every boss except the final

[tall marten]

Isn't that the temple of the black egg boss? Or am I completely wrong and in the wrong direction

[chrome otter]

black egg is thk

[subtle glacier]

broken vessel is below city

[chrome otter]

broken vessel is in ancient basin

below waterways

god this channel so much quieter than sk discussion

lore accurate ahh

[main crow]

Fr tho

Silksong discussion moves a mile a minute

[subtle glacier]

there are 6(?) bosses that have combat or movement abilities locked behind them without skips or glitches, and two other required ones to reach the final boss

[shrewd meadow]

welllll

major glitches,

[subtle glacier]

welllll

illiterate mod

[shrewd meadow]

erm

that wasnt there when i checked last time tbh

[subtle glacier]

who put that there

[tall marten]

Where to?

I assume far bottom right?

[subtle glacier]

yeah, that’s the easy way to say it

you have to find a way to be on the other side of that door

[chrome otter]

under lemm room

simple key required

[subtle glacier]

not required

[chrome otter]

i mean for that entrance it is

but without is possible

[subtle glacier]

you can get to right side city with dive or tram pass and they have dive

[shrewd meadow]

you can get to right city with lantern

[tall marten]

I am next to the statue, up and to the right or just to the right, because the door to the right is locked

[subtle glacier]

yeah, you need* to approach it from another direction

[chrome otter]

if you wanna go to waterways right away then the entrance is here

[keen thorn]

Assume no major glitches air resistance

[subtle glacier]

i will do no such thing!!!

i will also assume swim is randomized until told otherwise

[keen thorn]

And elevator pass?

[subtle glacier]

ofc

just do swimless city gate access shade skip

[chrome otter]

I'd honestly try a hk randomizer but i don't really wanna play more hk rn

[subtle glacier]

randomizers and bingo bring this game from only kinda replayable to thousands of hours replayable

[chrome otter]

I've everything aside from weathered mask

[tall marten]

Let's see, slam isn't working, hyper dash ain't working, I got no key, normal slashes ain't working, vengeful spirit is horizontal only, and dashmaster isn't working. What am I missing?

[chrome otter]

prob just gonna go get the remaining 3 sk achievements and think abt what i'll do

[subtle glacier]

do you have a lantern?

[tall marten]

No

[subtle glacier]

it’s expensive

[tall marten]

I think i know where to get it tho

[chrome otter]

you shouldn't worry abt the other side if you're early in the game

[tall marten]

I got 1.1k

[chrome otter]

it's something you unlock like after dream nail

[subtle glacier]

need 1.8

gtg good luck exploration

[chrome otter]

did you go to deepnest at all ?

[tall marten]

I can slaughter a few bugs

[tall marten]

Yes

[chrome otter]

ok do you have tram pass then ?

[tall marten]

No

Didn't complete deepnest

[chrome otter]

okay

if you wanna go to right side city you can either do a shade skip to blue lake or through crystal peak

[tall marten]

Shade skip?

[chrome otter]

it's a way to get dream nail early using your shade

or any place in general actually

but mostly used for the dream nail

[tall marten]

Okay, I never heard of the dream nail until now

[chrome otter]

well since your original question was abt an ability

i'd suggest you go explore deepnest further for tram pass

and then use the tram to go from deepnest to ancient basin

and if you have crystal heart you can get wings

[wintry plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-mgr-metal-gear-gif-7216811852594003147

[tall marten]

As in hyper dash?

[wintry plinth]

[chrome otter]

ig you can call it that

[wintry plinth]

tis called cdash

[chrome otter]

it's honestly called so many things

depends on person

[wintry plinth]

#1 name is cdash

[tall marten]

L2

[chrome otter]

true

[wintry plinth]

fuh naw \

[chrome otter]

is that like as in controller button or whatever ?

[tall marten]

Yup

[chrome otter]

uh

could you send a screenshot of the ability under L2 then ?

in your settings

[tall marten]

The crystal heart

[chrome otter]

okay

well if you have it you can head for tram pass

[tall marten]

I just called it L2 to piss slimy off

[chrome otter]

ah

[keen thorn]

Godhome

Godhome > bingy

[chrome otter]

it gets real boring after some time

[keen thorn]

Nah

I still have to do R5AB

[chrome otter]

40% of my 1st save was godhome and i got everything aside wm

although it was a good challenge

it isn't rly fun enough to make up that time

[tranquil mountain]

😬

sounds like an endeavor

[keen thorn]

My name is actually my playtime and most of that is godhome

[chrome otter]

oh

damn

[keen thorn]

I have probably like 100 hours of bingo, randos and speedruns combined

[chrome otter]

i only got like 150 hours in hk lol

[keen thorn]

And of course my first 70-80 hours of my playthrough and a couple more for steel soul

[tranquil mountain]

150 still a lot

[keen thorn]

Yeah

Nothing compared to you tho :>

[tranquil mountain]

haha ig

i been playin for 8 years tho lol

[chrome otter]

I only started playing hk this year after silksong's release

i barely heard of hk before

[tranquil mountain]

its a good time to get into it :D

genio what have you been playing other than anyrad?

[keen thorn]

I did 04 collecorr throughout the morning

Got him down to 90 hp

[tranquil mountain]

ohhhh nice!!

[keen thorn]

Also some bad R5 soul binding attempts blep

[tranquil mountain]

how much harder is soul binding?

[keen thorn]

Yeah but I eventually grew more and more frustrated with freeze frame jank, bad buffering and that stupid foreground jar lol

[keen thorn]

Not much really, you just can't spam spells

[tranquil mountain]

freeze frames hahahahahha, they are the enemy

[keen thorn]

But I found shaman stone to still be really good

[tranquil mountain]

its funny how freeze frames make pv easier, but they make collector so so SO much harder

[keen thorn]

Yeah!

Also gpz

I was considering a no freeze frame mod (and have been for a while after my traumatizing 1 hit to wathcers)

But it feels kinda cheasy

[tranquil mountain]

foreground jar actually isnt too problematic for me anymore, some very niche circumstances make it an issue tho

[keen thorn]

It's constantly an issue for me

In general I rely A LOT on my peripheral vision

Just a smudge of red is enough to remind me of a baldur

So when I don't see it I immediately forget about it

[chrome otter]

hk discussion so dead it's basically a dm for you two

[keen thorn]

That's why I fear off screen a lot other than final orb despawning

[keen thorn]

Happens a lot lol

[tranquil mountain]

i mean, yeah, it does kinda make things easier since it makes things more consistent and predictable, and the inconsistencies of r5 are what make it really difficult, but also, the inconsistencies make it kinda miserable too so idk lol

[keen thorn]

Realistically, it only affects bosses that you have to engage head on while they attack

So like gpz and collector

I just got unfathomably unlucky that time against watchers

[tranquil mountain]

yeah, i can forget about em sometimes, especially cuz vs doesnt go all across the screen, so even if it should die to a vs, that might keep it alive, and then it jumpscares me

[keen thorn]

That jar has also made some sillies

A squit once hid behind it and threw my plan

Sometimes I forget where I am sitting and dash into something or collector falls on me

Some aspids have flown there and throw me off their attack speed

[tranquil mountain]

mhm makes sense

[tranquil mountain]

LOL

[tranquil mountain]

yeah i can see that

[keen thorn]

TWO freeze frames at the same time I shot TWO dashes in one of my ONLY 1 HITS

[tranquil mountain]

do you have the clip? ive prolly seen it but i forget :>

[keen thorn]

https://youtu.be/x_G7SWt1H3g?t=17m16s

I dashed twice

[tranquil mountain]

wtf roxy up in here

[keen thorn]

But both inputs fell at the exact time of the freeze frames and got eaten

[tranquil mountain]

that is the scammiest scam of all time omgoodness

also question

im lowkey uneducated so idk this somehow, but if you input something during freeze frames, can you hold that input to buffer it once theyre done?

wait i think you can

cuz i used to do that and dash into collector after staggers?

[keen thorn]

Yeah you should

[tranquil mountain]

i gotta start holding spell inputs then

[keen thorn]

You've got spells canceled?

[tranquil mountain]

ahh thats really weird tho with muscle memory

[tranquil mountain]

oh all the time

all the all the tme

[keen thorn]

I get a lot of ddarks cancelled by my nail animation

But I haven't got one by stagger

Also by dash

[tranquil mountain]

its like, ill kill a minion with nail and then try to spell but the timing is off cuz i wasnt expecting to kill the minion

[keen thorn]

Killing minions gives iframes?

[tranquil mountain]

oh no i mean freeze frames

[keen thorn]

Sorry that lol

It gives freeze frames?

[tranquil mountain]

when you kill an enemy it freezes game for a few frames

like a minion

[keen thorn]

Ohhh but ohhhhhh

[tranquil mountain]

we are on a different wavelength rn

[keen thorn]

No you can't then because I think it's not the freeze frames themselves eating your spell

[tranquil mountain]

ohh, its like

[keen thorn]

I think it's your nail animation getting longer

[tranquil mountain]

the extension of the nail swing

yeah

[keen thorn]

And you cast during it

So it eats the buffer

[tranquil mountain]

faack

man this game sucks lol

[keen thorn]

Yeah lol

[tranquil mountain]

tho tbh, its better than like, super duper ultra buffered inputs like ER

[keen thorn]

Because I have a tendency to do a quick pogo just before a ddark

And then I cast during that pogo a lot

[keen thorn]

Idk how that feels

[tranquil mountain]

you can literally press attack in that game, then go downstairs and make a snack, and come back, and that attack will start going through

[keen thorn]

Also I remember when shrieking pillars of NKG was a big issue

Because I'd cast during the dash lol

[keen thorn]

I mean, no lol

[noble junco]

how battle with radiance? i alr defeated the hk but doesnt show the hornet

[keen thorn]

But if you do an input just before a dash ends for example it should go through

[keen thorn]

You need more stuff

[pure valve]

im working on a hk fanfic? AU? idk how to describe it
does anyone wanna see the hierarchy of the kingdom it takes place in

[civic temple]

Have you obtained the last charm?

The white charm?

[noble junco]

ye

[chrome otter]

you need to get void heart

[civic temple]

Then equip it and go to the abyss

[keen thorn]

Now we got swarmed

[tranquil mountain]

yeah for some reason, that timing is really hard to internalize

[keen thorn]

I'd love to make a mod that just fixes some of these things

I feel like that kind of jank doesn't make the game harder

Just more annoying

You'll get hit to essentially no fault of your own just because you missed a couple of frames

[tall marten]

I know it is hard to see, i am at the hotel spring, where to?

[civic temple]

Go to the left and explore that

[chrome otter]

1 is tram pass 2 is the tram

[civic temple]

And maybe kill another dreamers

[tranquil mountain]

i think it makes it harder in a poorly designed way, like it is a skill to get used to it and prevent it from happening, it just shouldnt be

[agile pewter]

☄️ 🐮

[chrome otter]

they don't have dream nail yet

[tranquil mountain]

maybe theyll patch it 👁️

[civic temple]

Really?

[tranquil mountain]

hi citrus hollow knight

[keen thorn]

I don't think so

[tranquil mountain]

yeah def not lol

[keen thorn]

TC just really doesn't listen to the dedicated community

It saddens me a bit

[keen thorn]

🍋

[frigid terrace]

Nah TC won't patch it they'll make it worse

[civic temple]

They are so busy to make seven seas i think

[hollow tulip]

IVE DONE IT

HAHAHAHAH

[tranquil mountain]

woh, i didnt realize there was an r5 list

[tall marten]

I hate these really dark areas

[civic temple]

Golden big zote statue

[tranquil mountain]

or i probably just forgot at some point lol

[keen thorn]

You definitely knew

[tranquil mountain]

yeah no i distinctly remember looking through this haha

[keen thorn]

Oh but this is the old one

[frigid terrace]

Totally thought that was a shitpost message

Yea this is the old one. Chinese one is the new one

[tranquil mountain]

oh whaaat

[frigid terrace]

I think I put the link on the home page

[keen thorn]

Why is there a 2025 clear

[frigid terrace]

Dude I'm going to be so real

They DMed me and I really didn't want to say no

So I just sucked it up and verified it

[keen thorn]

Lol

[frigid terrace]

I had no idea who this person was and they sent me like a whole thing

Anyways a few weeks back someone DMed me asking to have the maintenance perms so I think some other team is in the driver's seat now

[keen thorn]

What if you just link the Chinese list lol

In the spreadsheet

[frigid terrace]

They knew about the Chinese list is the thing

Oh I thought I DID link it

[keen thorn]

Oh lmao

[keen thorn]

Well maybe they'll refine it? Idk

[frigid terrace]

They already added an R5AB colouring

The colouring is uh

[tranquil mountain]

omg slinky spotted 👁️👁️

[frigid terrace]

Wrong though

I debated on just archiving the whole thing because I think deleting it would be a stupid idea

[tranquil mountain]

do you have chinese list link?

[frigid terrace]

[tranquil mountain]

thank you

[dim lance]

ipgrabber.gif

[frigid terrace]

They probably wouldn't be upset if I just added it to the list but like

Feels kind of invasive to budge in when I just handed over maintenance perms

[keen thorn]

Yeah exactly

[frigid terrace]

I would never

[keen thorn]

I think preserving history is cool

[frigid terrace]

I have a backup somewhere but I think it's even older than the one everyone was used to seeing for like 3-4 years

lol

[shy patio]

Time to farm geos for a lantern

[pure valve]

whats this im stupid

[frigid terrace]

Chinese maintained P5 hitless list

[worn hamlet]

(r5)

[foggy sable]

I just looked at it again turns out I am on it but I'm stupid so missed it last time I looked

[tranquil mountain]

xP

[foggy sable]

I should learn collector so I can do p045

[wary hound]

wah

WAH

[frigid terrace]

GreyFire your name will remind me of Wayfire whenever I see it. I hope you're okay with bearing this curse in my mind

[foggy sable]

that's fine

[tranquil mountain]

you shouldddd

[wary hound]

is that pantheon 5 oldnail ab

[tranquil mountain]

white spells too

[foggy sable]

yes

[wary hound]

😭

y

WHY

[foggy sable]

I have 04radHoG except flukemarm and collector so

[wary hound]

fair

[foggy sable]

it is just collector really since attuned flukemarm is easy enough 04

and as for why, it was fun except failed champion

[tall marten]

Do i really need to go through the dark path or is that circle in the top path a wall

[keen thorn]

That's what I'm supposed to be doing

[wary hound]

i dont think i can even do radiant ab collector

[keen thorn]

Lol, what number

[tranquil mountain]

you can!!

[chrome otter]

oh wait you dont have lantern right

[tranquil mountain]

i believe in you

[foggy sable]

212 or something

[chrome otter]

no the circle isnt a wall

[proud haven]

Omg hi mcow

[tranquil mountain]

greetings connorrrr

[tall marten]

Oh thank god

[foggy sable]

I'm on an hk break though so no collector rn

[keen thorn]

Fair

[proud haven]

I'm gonna eat mac n cheese

[tranquil mountain]

W

[cosmic rampart]

hai

[proud haven]

Best mac n cheese of my life my sister made this christmas

Peak I took all of it home fr

[heavy shuttle]

I also had mac n cheese this Christmas

Super good with bacon in the cheese sauce and shaved parmesean on top

[proud haven]

Fuck yeah

The one we got is like slightly spicy and baked with little green bits on top
Also wasn't made with macaroni but the spirally pasta

Really raell[y fucks

[heavy shuttle]

Bread crumbs and butter to make the top all crusty

[proud haven]

Peak omg

[heavy shuttle]

Sounds epic 100

[proud haven]

Sounds similar

[keen thorn]

Wait no, they added you lmao

[foggy sable]

hm?

[keen thorn]

The editor missed your clear and found it recently

I'm now 233

[foggy sable]

so I didn't miss it before we're so back

[keen thorn]

When I cleared I was 231 lol

[foggy sable]

maybe one of the other 5 r5 videos made its way out there

[proud haven]

231 is so many bro

[keen thorn]

261 clears tho

This is crazy

[proud haven]

The other 30 must be me

[foggy sable]

I think a lot of people were doing r5 when silksong released

[proud haven]

Most people did it after og hollow knight released

[foggy sable]

not all of them though

[heavy shuttle]

One of my friends says he could do r5 (he hasn't even beaten p5 yet) and I keep trying to tell him that it's not something you just walk up and do, else more than 260 recorded persons on the face of the planet would have done it

[keen thorn]

There were a lot more on August

But September had a good amount

[keen thorn]

Yeah, no lol. R5 is evil

[foggy sable]

r5 isn't as bad as I had expected

but it is an effort

[keen thorn]

But you were a very unique case

[proud haven]

I think it's just as easy as beating p5

[heavy shuttle]

[keen thorn]

P5AB = F5 = R5 is such a statement

[proud haven]

Making it hitless doesn't really make it harder

[foggy sable]

yes but I think it's funny to spread misinformation

[keen thorn]

This is true

I love misinformation

[foggy sable]

and even better when it is technically a real opinion

[keen thorn]

Yeah lol

[subtle glacier]

oh hell no

[tulip narwhal]

The goat 🔥

[proud haven]

Would you guys ever slay someone with a blade

[keen thorn]

Having very dumb opinions that just happen to be true for you is such a mood

[heavy shuttle]

It's egfloggygoggy

[tranquil mountain]

truth

[tulip narwhal]

I yhink iy is yeah

[keen thorn]

[heavy shuttle]

Surprised so many regulars are still here

You must really like fortnite

[tulip narwhal]

I really like fortnite...

[proud haven]

Yay battle royale! I say with a grin

[heavy shuttle]

Does anyone actually like Fortnite? I was under the impression it was just that people play it

[proud haven]

They say playing fortnite is like owning a piece of fun

[frigid terrace]

Yea greatest game ever made

[heavy shuttle]

And that anyone who says they like it is a liar

[proud haven]

I actually really like fortnite but only for like 2 months a year

Always with someone

[keen thorn]

I really like fortnights

[tribal gust]

Stw mentioned 🔥

[proud haven]

It's one of those games that suck without friends

[keen thorn]

Just long enough to feel fresh but not too long to feel eternal

[proud haven]

Deadbydaylight is like that fr

[heavy shuttle]

The 2 week cycle is such a versatile and comfortable thing I love fortnight

[sweet blaze]

really

[proud haven]

I love fortnite fr

[keen thorn]

[sweet blaze]

[frigid terrace]

More like falling back into the abyss in some sense

[tulip narwhal]

No...

[keen thorn]

We need more grubomg

[sweet blaze]

ok eghollyjolly

true

[proud haven]

At this specific hour today you'd be fooled into believing it

[keen thorn]

Hi Fiablo

[proud haven]

It is not healing tho

[sweet blaze]

i see

[tribal gust]

At least you dont play battle royale only❤️‍🩹

[sweet blaze]

hi genio

[tulip narwhal]

Im jolly ❤️ 💚

[sweet blaze]

[proud haven]

Omg hi

[delicate cradle]

Defeated radiance finally.

[sweet blaze]

[heavy shuttle]

I modded grubomg into my charm sprites so Grubsong is grubomg

[sweet blaze]

hyd all

[proud haven]

Fuck yeah

[proud haven]

Having a fantastic day

[delicate cradle]

97% completion

[proud haven]

Fr

[tulip narwhal]

I must hop on the celeste

[proud haven]

Christmas was peak too

[proud haven]

why all of your charms grey and sad

[delicate cradle]

Now nightmare king and then Pantheons...

[tulip narwhal]

Truth nuke

[tribal gust]

Great

[proud haven]

Fuck yeah that shit is sm harder but I believe in you

[heavy shuttle]

Pale King skin, I was just tinkering

[proud haven]

oh based

[keen thorn]

[keen thorn]

This is how I feel:

[foggy sable]

it isn't that bad of a statement

[delicate cradle]

Yeah, I am not gonna play the game 24/7 though. If I get bore I might play metro exodus. I recently got it.

Cuz you know after dying too much?

[heavy shuttle]

"Contains the gratitude of freed grubs"

[copper spruce]

No

[sweet blaze]

[sweet blaze]

wonderful

[proud haven]

Super fair I hop games every time I get bored
Rn endlessly playing skyrim but I can feel my fun fading
Or just current quest sucks

[sweet blaze]

mm jolly should i hop on clest someday or no

[hexed nacelle]

i lov grub

[proud haven]

Gonna get split fiction tomorrow to play it's splitscreen co-op fr

Seems fu and peak

[copper spruce]

I hate grubs

[tulip narwhal]

YES

[delicate cradle]

Yeah I too generally hop around in games. I played finished silksong first though, which is why I am not playing it. I played it first because someone told me "if I played hollow knight only to play silksong I will rush it."

[delicate cradle]

[ornate swallow]

Struggling with this part?

[heavy shuttle]

Anyone here familiar with Caves of Qud?

[hexed nacelle]

does anyone have tips for godtamer

[sweet blaze]

expert lobbers or

[heavy shuttle]

Very good rpg roguelike

[sweet blaze]

but i also need to like get good again :(

[tulip narwhal]

If you wan

[sweet blaze]

cuz atp i'll be like really bad at game

what should i do to practice before hopping on expert lobbers jolly

[keen thorn]

Cherish the spirit

[warped siren]

hey guess who this happened to AGAIN!

[keen thorn]

You need more gpz

[sweet blaze]

oh man

[warped siren]

how do i do absrad last phase 😭

[sweet blaze]

talking about clest dear jolly genio

[sweet blaze]

but this is true

[heavy shuttle]

I got a debug mod and made myself invulnerable and dealt 0 nail damage and practiced it for like a half hour

[proud haven]

That's fair ig
I think hk is way harder cuz of it's endgame dlc stuff but if ss had it it'd be harder
All bosses hitless extra hp > all bosses in a row > all bosses in a row with 4 quirky nerfs > hitless all bosses
It's a crazy lineup of things the game can and will reward you for doing compared to other games
Although tbf the r5 reward is covered by the p5ab reward soi f you wanna do r5 on a save don't do p5ab

[sweet blaze]

but i also wanna play other games,,, welp

[proud haven]

Play skyrim and watch skyrim lore videos

[heavy shuttle]

I do not lose to final phase anymore

[proud haven]

While playing it

It's peak for me

[sweet blaze]

noo not skyrim

maybe i'll play mass effect for the story

[proud haven]

Its so great

Skyrim is so amazing

[sweet blaze]

maybe i should finally get 5bc

hmmm

[proud haven]

U should just get skyrim 5 times

There's enough different ones to buy for that

[sweet blaze]

ohh man

[delicate cradle]

Yeah God home is hard. But over all silksong is definitely harder. But it's a good thing they made silksong hard. That's because Hollow Knight base game is kind of tutorial for silksong. And the people who have 200-300 or even more hours in the game won't find silksong easy, which is why devs made it so hard.

[proud haven]

I would never agree but I had 500 hours in hk then played silksong and it was easy for me fr

just outright I didn't struggle super hard

Wish I did ong

[copper spruce]

No

[warped siren]

thats cos you have 500 hours

most get p5 by like 150 in and then quit

[proud haven]

I died for sure but it wasn't like hk
Hk beat me up bad

[delicate cradle]

Yeah I struggled a lot.

[proud haven]

But it was my first metroidvania tbf first little two d slasher game

So I had a lot of hk issues

And that didn't happen with ss

[outer bay]

Yall…could queen’s garden be considered an advanced version of greepath for mid-near end game?

[heavy shuttle]

I also played Skong with 650 HK hours and thought it was too easy but yeah that's on me

[proud haven]

Yeah I'd say that's a fair description

[outer bay]

I mean, both are very nature and green related

[proud haven]

I assume dlc will kick my teeth in to make up for it

So I'm not worried

[heavy shuttle]

I really hope

[wary hound]

TIME TO beat the radiance in a randomizer

[proud haven]

The story and art fucked hard enough

[heavy shuttle]

Yeah it was cool

[proud haven]

And hk main game is 503850183058 times easier

I'm only comparing the difficulty to end game hk dlc

Which aint really fair cuz ss aint got any yet

[outer bay]

Im ngl i had less trouble finishing hk

Especially cuz of annoying ass bosses on end game sk

[proud haven]

I did not find any super annoying

[heavy shuttle]

I was pondering that TC was probably beating themselves up that they couldn't have made HK with the same level of polish and detail as Skong and then when they announced the remaster I was blown away

[proud haven]

And was sad that none had a super high death count on me

[heavy shuttle]

I almost didn't care about the dlc

The remaster took the cake for me

[autumn ice]

I am decently confident that silksong endgame will eventually be more difficult than hk endgame at least

[outer bay]

What is the remaster though? Is it gonna come for all plataforms ooor

[proud haven]

Wait remaster?

[zealous skiff]

@proud haven

[proud haven]

Hic hompe

[zealous skiff]

[heavy shuttle]

Afaik it's just for Switch 2 but I imagine in time it would come to all platforms

[outer bay]

Oooh u mean the refresh thing to hk?

[heavy shuttle]

Just hopium though

[proud haven]

Imma make mac n cheese and drink a coffee

Mmmmm

[outer bay]

Pretty sure its to all platforms

[proud haven]

Bye for now hk chat

[heavy shuttle]

Yeah, they said they were redoing art and whatnot

[heavy shuttle]

Tah tah

[autumn ice]

Bye connor

[outer bay]

I wish they added more stuff too

[heavy shuttle]

There are gameplay updates coming to all platforms but that's it

[proud haven]

I will be back dw

[outer bay]

Good bye my friend

[proud haven]

I have nothing to do for a bit

[outer bay]

Gameplay updates? That includes what?

Do we have that info?

[heavy shuttle]

Who knows?

[outer bay]

Thats sad

[wary hound]

in hollow knight how do we manage to get all the way to kings pass without collecting nothing if we are supposed to starrt in the abyss

[heavy shuttle]

They detailed an intial patch but hinted at more to come

[civic temple]

Okay, maybe you guys will not believe me, but when i want to practice more, i did no hit to nkg, pv, and gpz in a row, and almost no hit absrad. Is this because i got enough sleep or just lucky?

My hand shaking after that lol

[heavy shuttle]

Sleep and culmination of practice for sure

Muscle memory is miraculous

[wary hound]

sleep was it because when u go to sleep ur brain renders wat u did in the day and then compacts it ig

[heavy shuttle]

I use that strategically

And it works

[civic temple]

So then my sleep is helping me huh? Well then gonna do p5 right now

[wary hound]

TIME TO VS radiance in randomizer for the first time ever

for me

[heavy shuttle]

Oh cool!

Radiance in randomizer was a fun milestone the first time I did it

[wary hound]

yeh

[tall marten]

@chrome otter where did you say the tram was? I got the pass

[wary hound]

this my build

[heavy shuttle]

Hahahah

Looks about right

[chrome otter]

right of the hot spring

[heavy shuttle]

You got lucky with your charm costs for sure

[wary hound]

oh and i forgot to collect my shade 😭 but who needs it

[wary hound]

yeh fr

so many 0s

[tall marten]

Well one path lead to a fragment, and the other is blocked by a dark wall?

[tall marten]

Nvm, found it

[keen thorn]

For sure!

[keen thorn]

At least P5 tho, that's more evil than anything in Silksong.
But still, I think it was a good tone up from HK, while I definitely won't say I struggled, it was not a cakewalk which is more than good enough

[dry jungle]

time to leave this server

had a good time ig

good bye though

👋🏻

[proud haven]

Bye sigma

[grave ore]

hi

[lost garnet]

hi

hop on sab

[craggy finch]

my hk expertise didnt rlly mean jack

kinda felt like learning a completely diff game LOL

similar to hk at the beginning its a struggle

once you get used to it its as you say

[grave ore]

yeah im taking a break

i cant with these brainrotted lego shit guys

[vernal knot]

[frigid mural]

[tall marten]

What is the requirement of the temple of the black egg?

[frigid mural]

Kill the dreamers I think

[vernal knot]

Dawg you need Dreamnail for Dreamers

[worn hamlet]

sry couldn't resist the opportunity, no offense intended :D

[keen thorn]

Tbf how many hours do you have...

[craggy finch]

200

[tall marten]

Look, I just spent the past half hour trying not to die because I couldn't find a bench

[keen thorn]

How many do I have

[vernal knot]

Ok?

[keen thorn]

It's in my name

[craggy finch]

expertise does nto always imply proffesional

😭

[tall marten]

You think I know jack about the game?

[keen thorn]

But yeah I most definitely did not have 900 hours of skill in silksong

[vernal knot]

I bet you have 100

[keen thorn]

But it did translate quite nicely

[vernal knot]

Should I have just known this from the start?

Dawg I don't fucking know you

Mb ig 🎋

[worn hamlet]

same, but for around 400 hrs in hk

[keen thorn]

I feel purely by heart at about 350-450 I'd say you'd feel a difference

In general

[vernal knot]

What about 349?

[worn hamlet]

bro pulled out the tanabata tree lmao

[keen thorn]

But the game was very well crafted

[keen thorn]

Play one more hour

[craggy finch]

[keen thorn]

Skill issue

[craggy finch]

LOL

[tall marten]

Look, I'm sorry man, It takes a bit for the stress to go away, i am not mad at you, I am just mad and you happened to say what I thought was the wrong thing. I am sorry

[vernal knot]

What if I have 3k and I can barely beat RadTMG

[vernal knot]

Dude I was jokin'

No worries

you don't need to feel sad by it

Damn

[worn hamlet]

(im so sorry in advance) it am not mad at you? 😭😭😭

[tall marten]

Autocorrect

[vernal knot]

Okay asshole

If you wanna get picky, I'm*

[worn hamlet]

can't help it misspellings/slip ups are just too funny to me

[vernal knot]

Misspellings

[worn hamlet]

I mean no harm I swear

I just laugh at the strangest and most random things
