LOL

i all my movement is on keyboard

[chrome gyro]

All my actions are on keyboard q-q

[wary hound]

so is everything but atk and dnail

[chrome gyro]

I can’t be the only one right?

Who uses arrows?

[chrome gyro]

I DONT UNDERSTSND

[vivid creek]

MonStahLer does iirc
So you can definitely get very good at the game with just keyboard

[thorny trellis]

I use my xbox controller

[chrome gyro]

where did this [phone] come. From?

[thorny trellis]

It feels like premium and stuff

[proven bramble]

pure eyes is terrible

gahdamm

[chrome gyro]

I know someone who did a anyrad

They said I had good control of my character

I like weaving through the orange balls

Instead of d dashing or ddarking

[wicked kiln]

i wish there was a mod that would make left right up and down slash keybindable so you can freely move and just use arrows to attack wherever you want

[fringe flint]

sounds awfully like binding of issac to me

[wicked kiln]

now that you say it

[vivid creek]

Sounds like it'd make animation cancelling more feasible tbh

[peak hound]

me

[chrome gyro]

I’ve been wanting binding of Issac for so long

[chrome gyro]

FINALY

[tawdry magnet]

i think ill be getting isaac for steam sale

[peak hound]

i use arrow keys for 2D games
it just feels more natural for those kinds of games

[tawdry magnet]

along with maybe nine sols

[chrome gyro]

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

Fighting games other then guilty gear I use controller

Like rivals of aether

[wicked kiln]

animation cancelling is imo overrated in difficuilty you just gotta get in the perfect rythm

get into that flow state

[proven bramble]

no eyes is actually harder than grimm

[wicked kiln]

piracy is free

[wicked kiln]

yes

[chrome gyro]

Do you ever just fail to face dance abs rad like 4 times in a row

[vivid creek]

It's less about the difficulty and more about the payoff
The benefit is minimal

[chrome gyro]

Nah

EVERY TIME I PIRATE NOT ONLY DOES MY PC DIE

BUT I LOSE ALL MY PROGRESS

I LOST 3 HK SAVES

A 900 HOUR 100% EVERY ENDING RPRAINWORLD SAVE

[frank estuary]

Piracy is illegal but who cares

[chrome gyro]

I’m not taking the risk of losing hours again

[vivid creek]

Like, if it was hard & had huge payoff it''d be good
If it was easy and had low payoff it'd be cool

But it's moderately difficult for a very small dps boost
If it was easier it'd make it more worthwhile trying to squeeze out the extra dps, imo

[wicked kiln]

imo even when i played on my switch and wasnt in the community like at all i was on my own i also sometimes animation cancelled cause i noticed and felt it was attacking faster these 0.04 seconds are def noticable imo

its not the craziest boost

[vivid creek]

like 10%

[fringe flint]

just did the p1 part of p5.. wish me luck guys

[wicked kiln]

but imo makes the fights less boring and if you can do it without being inbetween markoth and his shield or sum you def should

or at least try some

[chrome gyro]

It gets ez till the end

[frank estuary]

Best of luck

[vivid creek]

I might learn it for anyrad
But not for r5

[fringe flint]

fuck p5 xero

i js died to him

[proven bramble]

stupid fucking no eyes

[frank estuary]

End starts from for you?, imo end begins at markoth,

[proven bramble]

took more attempts than grimm

[frank estuary]

Wait till you meet markoth

[wicked kiln]

yeah R5 with that shit is tricky😭

[fringe flint]

how did team cherry make all the dream bosses so shitilly not fun to beat

[chrome gyro]

It isn’t just me right?

[foggy sable]

r5 doesn't need anything fancy

[wicked kiln]

plus its a byproduct of good face dancing so

[wicked kiln]

people forget that and think they have to pull off te ano performance

for it to be a valid R5

[wild peak]

heheheh hew hew

sumo hornet

[vivid creek]

Sub-30 for a first time r5 completion would be epic though, ngl

[wicked kiln]

[shrewd nymph]

Boooooring

[foggy sable]

My first r5 was so scuffed I didn't submit it anywhere

[chrome gyro]

R5?

[vivid creek]

I'm on track for like 31-32 mins with how I currently play
Gotta shave off a couple more mins somehow

[wicked kiln]

LMAO

[shrewd nymph]

Hitless p5

[chrome gyro]

Oh

I could but I don’t wanna since I’m busy with modded boss

I’ll do it later

[shrewd nymph]

If you're playing r5 safe and non-flashy are you really playing r5

[foggy sable]

Also I pause for about 5 minutes per run

[vivid creek]

[trim schooner]

yo lune

i did it btw

[shrewd nymph]

yo

[trim schooner]

1.5x boundless infinity

[shrewd nymph]

wow ggs

[trim schooner]

yea this morning

[chrome gyro]

You gotta parry all of pure vessels attacks

[wicked kiln]

this dude

[trim schooner]

exactly 3 months after i got hollow knight

[chrome gyro]

Or it’s not flashy

[trim schooner]

very cool

[chrome gyro]

Parry all the attacks frame perfectly

[shrewd nymph]

Oh we got the game a similar time i think

Thats cool

[trim schooner]

o no way

bro youre insane

wtf

3 months p5ab

[shrewd nymph]

says you

[trim schooner]

nah

p5ab harder

not even close

[shrewd nymph]

Eh

[wicked kiln]

seeing 2 prodigys talk

[foggy sable]

It was weird a super close god tamer I think

[chrome gyro]

Wat

[agile pewter]

Ima ruin it

[trim schooner]

p5ab harder than bounldess infinity on 1.5x speed

[agile pewter]

[shrewd nymph]

🍋

[wicked kiln]

god tamer pmo so hard

[trim schooner]

o leonhk

[wicked kiln]

is it?

[trim schooner]

i saw your video on boundless infinity i think

[vivid creek]

#sk-discussion

[shrewd nymph]

Kinda incomparable

[trim schooner]

bro if it isn't actually harder

[chrome gyro]

That isn’t helpful

[trim schooner]

the mental strenght required for p5ab

[foggy sable]

Yep

[trim schooner]

is so much worse than boundless infinity 1.5x speed

[foggy sable]

P5ab is fun

[trim schooner]

1.5x bi took me 3 hours

a p5ab run will take like 3 hours

[chrome gyro]

WHATS THE BOSS

[shrewd nymph]

How about low hit

[chrome gyro]

Like is it an any radiance ?

[wicked kiln]

i did p5ab back in the day after 400 to m500 hours on my switch thats where i retired for a year and came back on my pc lol

[trim schooner]

i will never do p5ab

[civic temple]

Its fun to torture yourself

[trim schooner]

that shit is too much for me

[shrewd nymph]

Boundless infinity?

[chrome gyro]

Oh

That’s it?

[shrewd nymph]

Yeah, its a parry focused pure vessel mod

[trim schooner]

1.5x is wr until suscat uploads his 1.7 lol

[wicked kiln]

i wont do it again maybe but it really is fun

[civic temple]

Like 3 hours to complete that and don't even think if you failed

[proven bramble]

chat is radiance hard? 🙂 i forgot

[wicked kiln]

last time i did p5ab i died at collector

[civic temple]

Not really

[wicked kiln]

then gave up again

[chrome gyro]

I know but it doesn’t look that hard

[wicked kiln]

went back to R5

[shrewd nymph]

Did suscat do 140% radiant or just normal 140%

[trim schooner]

both

hes insane

i wont do radiant

just normal rad bi nail only destroyed me

[shrewd nymph]

Its the second hardest mainstream modded boss imo

[trim schooner]

he says as he plans to go for bi ab

[civic temple]

I never thought the collector is really hard at all binding cuz the minion he spawn

[wicked kiln]

dude

i wanna see you surpass suscat

youre the only i think coukld surpass suscat in pure vessel

[trim schooner]

already have with 1.5 speed

[shrewd nymph]

Does radiant BI gain hp

[chrome gyro]

Wait so it’s a p5 hitless run with boundless infinity and purify?

[trim schooner]

he also hasn't tried speedrunning boundless infinity so for now im faster

[shrewd nymph]

What 😭

[trim schooner]

thts not a thing

[shrewd nymph]

[chrome gyro]

Mb gang

[trim schooner]

nah hes insane

also hes played for years

[wicked kiln]

you dont one shot the minions

[trim schooner]

i dont stand a chance

[vivid creek]

Suscat has a PV-PHD

[wicked kiln]

with 2k hours you got 300

[shrewd nymph]

if you focus BI for a long time its not out if the question

but pv is different

[trim schooner]

yeah

[civic temple]

And then all of a sudden theres a swarm of primal aspid trying to kill you

[trim schooner]

not pv

[shrewd nymph]

he's been doing it for so long

[trim schooner]

yea

i can do it fast

but theres some things he does that i cant even pretend to be able to do

[wicked kiln]

i think he already did partly the human limit speedrun with perfect rng

pure vessel didnt spawn away one time in his WR

[trim schooner]

animation cancelling during the stabby ground attack requires insane precision

[foggy sable]

No

[shrewd nymph]

He told me made one mistake in the new radiant wr

But its definitely nearing human limit

[trim schooner]

im going for a sub 2.30 on boundless infinity before ab

im like 5 seconds off so

shouldn't be too hard

ive gotten really close but i keep choking

also phase 4 is lasting forever for no reason and idk why

lmao

[proven bramble]

chat i got my 7th mask

[trim schooner]

gg

[civic temple]

Now get the 8th one

[proven bramble]

there might be a lil problem with that...

slye closed his shop...

[civic temple]

Huh?

[wicked kiln]

how much time did you spend in total

on BI

[proven bramble]

he went down into his basement

[trim schooner]

a lot

[proven bramble]

there's no more "shop"

[trim schooner]

idk

its over 24 im pretty sure

[shrewd nymph]

Did you teach yourself or learn it from somewhere?

[trim schooner]

taught myself

[shrewd nymph]

Very cool

[trim schooner]

idk how long first clear took

everything after took maybe 12 something hours

hold on

[civic temple]

Have you bought all of them before he does that?

[proven bramble]

nope 🙃

i went to go kill hk and dreamers and collect essence

[trim schooner]

rad took 5h 1.5x took 4 2.35 took 2 maybe?

1.3x took like an hour max so we'll just say an hour

yeah maybe 24h

i feel like it should be a lot more tho

idk

[quartz cave]

gmcb

[trim schooner]

first clear took a month of very inconsistent playing

[civic temple]

How to change this statue? I see on yt you can change this

[trim schooner]

do all bosses in hog on harder difficulties

[finite ember]

Hello. Do you guys have any PNGs of Hornet like this in game? I need a few to make some sort of video

[civic temple]

Acsended?

Or radiant?

[trim schooner]

yea and radiant

[civic temple]

The statue have 2 upgrades?

[chrome gyro]

Wait wat is this a new playthrough?

[trim schooner]

i didn't draw that

its in the game

[civic temple]

Maybe idk

[finite ember]

https://tenor.com/view/pffttt-cantholdlaugh-father-laugh-dad-laugh-gif-13166789396741539132

[chrome gyro]

You have to beat all the bosses on a difficulty

So that is attuned

[trim schooner]

no fr tho i grabbed it from hkmemes subreddit

[chrome gyro]

Then ascended

[shrewd nymph]

Goodmorning

[chrome gyro]

And radiant

[trim schooner]

what does gmcb stand for

good morning

charm binding

[chrome gyro]

You can’t really change it back though…

[civic temple]

For acsended only absrad left, so...

[shrewd nymph]

Classified information

[chrome gyro]

JUST DO IT, YOU GOTTA BE STRONG

[trim schooner]

awh

[trim schooner]

you got this man

[shrewd nymph]

I dont know what it actually stands for, i think everyone has their own interpretation

[civic temple]

Yeah i'm gonna do it

[trim schooner]

😂

[chrome gyro]

It looks like super cooleo once you get all radainted

[civic temple]

Why not?

[finite ember]

So, no one knows where I could get the PNGs?

[trim schooner]

try the hk wiki/fandom

[civic temple]

I'm a bit completionist so yeah why i would not to get all bosses to radiant?

[chrome gyro]

?

[finite ember]

The only one I found was low quality sadly

[trim schooner]

because rad markoth rad absrad are awful

i fluked markoth

but i wouwld never do it again

[finite ember]

I'm looking for some Hornet PNGs in game like this with different poses like her looking up and all that

[chrome gyro]

Could just make your own right?

[civic temple]

I'm gonna insane but hey challenge is challenge right?

[chrome gyro]

Why not Silksong

[finite ember]

I'm not an artist though

[chrome gyro]

Indeed

[chrome gyro]

Silksong sprites :]

[trim schooner]

yup

for markoth would recommend carefree melody with carefreerngreset

[foggy sable]

Carefree sucks

Don't use it

[civic temple]

Didn't have carefree tho

[finite ember]

Oh wow thank you

[copper spruce]

Use it

[chrome gyro]

SUPER UNDERRATER

rated

lol

[foggy sable]

No, bad

[chrome gyro]

No

Good

[foggy sable]

Overrated

[chrome gyro]

Underrated

[trim schooner]

its useless other than with carefreerng reset and for radiant

[zealous skiff]

me when I want to turn hk into a lottery

[civic temple]

Just use that meme charm on that boss right?

[shrewd nymph]

It really isnt overrated but yes its bad

[zealous skiff]

what's the point of radiant uf you are getting hit anyway?

[shrewd nymph]

Hi chomp

[zealous skiff]

hi lune

[trim schooner]

grimchild?

hes goated

[chrome gyro]

It’s a chance at one plus mask

[trim schooner]

carried my radiant boundless infinity run

[chrome gyro]

For radaint at least

[civic temple]

Uh, no i mean grubberflys

[chrome gyro]

Hmmmm,

[trim schooner]

oh

[copper spruce]

Nobody knows how carefree works

[chrome gyro]

I do every hit you take you have a higher chance of it working

lol

[trim schooner]

i forgot grubberflys existed when did radhog

i hate myself for it

[copper spruce]

No

[trim schooner]

yeah its good

[shrewd nymph]

Grubberfly isnt really good in radhog tbh

its such low dmg for a glorified mop

[civic temple]

And whats the point of not overcharmed on radiant bosses?

[zealous skiff]

ok so you want your one radiant win to be a literal fluke like huh???

[copper spruce]

@shrewd nymph dm

[shrewd nymph]

Dungeon master

[zealous skiff]

why wouldn't you overcharm?

[chrome gyro]

A win is a win

Idk

Or care

What you think

[copper spruce]

How does carefree melody work

[civic temple]

Forgot that you're in one-shot difficulty bosses

Sometimes happen to me

[trim schooner]

from what ive seen its really good for some difficult bosses

[chrome gyro]

This is how 😭

[zealous skiff]

how does that relate to what you were replying to, explain the connection

[shrewd nymph]

You sometimes see it used on markoth but id never recommend it

[trim schooner]

yea

the halved dps ruins it for me

[copper spruce]

I know of a strategy that renders carefree melody obselete

[zealous skiff]

I think its worth a shot on radkoth cus I do know of people who struggle with radkoth and < 3 try him with elegies

[trim schooner]

if it was 3/4'd maybe not

[copper spruce]

it's quite simple actually

[chrome gyro]

Ok but like why

[copper spruce]

it's called dodging

[chrome gyro]

And not many people are perfect

[shrewd nymph]

I still dont recommend it because its better to just learn narts but i suppose

[chrome gyro]

I understand it’s telling you that sometimes you can get hit

[next pollen]

guys does the hunter count as a journal entry?

[chrome gyro]

But like

[copper spruce]

ddark

[chrome gyro]

Buldershell

[copper spruce]

shade cloak

[civic temple]

It is recommended to use dream shield on obobbles radiant?

[chrome gyro]

One takes soul

[trim schooner]

yea

[chrome gyro]

Other has a cooldown

[shrewd nymph]

Not really

[trim schooner]

lune saved me with carefreerng reset

[shrewd nymph]

Tis a helpful mod

[trim schooner]

dreamshield only for the goated players

i procced it like 2 seconds into the fight

[shrewd nymph]

dreamshield has no use that isnt mega niche

[trim schooner]

it wasn't even worth 😂

[trim schooner]

yeah suscat uses it for pv

[shrewd nymph]

yeah because how else can you increase dps

[foggy sable]

So a small chance of not being a waste of notches

[trim schooner]

its good if you have spare notches and nothing to use it for and youre speedrunning

[shrewd nymph]

Grimmchild but thats inconsistent and unreliable for the dmg

[trim schooner]

cough cough my boundless infinity radiant run

[chrome gyro]

Look man I’m not perfect so a chance at not getting hit is worth 3

[quartz cave]

wowie this is the killer speaking by the last dinner party song reference hi lune hru

[chrome gyro]

Besides

[trim schooner]

yo can someone here count how many hits grimmchild landed?

boss has to turn red for it to count

[chrome gyro]

I don’t need op charm combos

[foggy sable]

The other defense charms are just better ..

[chrome gyro]

Bulder is nice but I have to be healing

Also I can’t move

So I’m waiting to get hit

[shrewd nymph]

Id be doing better if you appreciated my math notation
But good, hbu

[foggy sable]

Quick focus is the best defense then heart because it is only 2 notchrs

[rare aurora]

what is the notation

[shrewd nymph]

Id argue SoU

[chrome gyro]

But like why heal when you didn’t take damage y’know?

[trim schooner]

i mean in radiant and with carefreerngreset its useful because it basically doubles your tankiness at 90% chance

[copper spruce]

I wish I was this smart

[shrewd nymph]

He doesnt like d/dx for derivatives, oswald is a f'(x) advocate

[copper spruce]

[foggy sable]

Because in aggregate faster healing is much better

[chrome gyro]

For 3 notches

Meh

[real pasture]

[chrome gyro]

I’ll stay with mine

[trim schooner]

theres also x with the dot on it

which is awful

[chrome gyro]

Look man why do you care what I use

[foggy sable]

You have to set it up each time there which takes ages

[shrewd nymph]

Dot is funny for 8th derivative of distance but otherwise i dont touch it

[shrewd nymph]

Hi corty

[chrome gyro]

As long as it ain’t heavy blow it’s fair game

[trim schooner]

carefreerngreset mod does it for you

[radiant dagger]

i finally beat colossuem of fools stage 2 yall

after being away from hollow knight for around 3 or 2 months

[foggy sable]

You said it was underrated

[trim schooner]

otherwise itll be useless

[chrome gyro]

Because it is

[trim schooner]

gg

[chrome gyro]

Not saying it’s the best

[shrewd nymph]

gg

[foggy sable]

It sucks

[chrome gyro]

Just saying it should be considered

[real pasture]

Hola

[foggy sable]

I don't care if you use it but that is not underrated

[quartz cave]

@foggy sable

[trim schooner]

wait with perfect rng will it make you invincible

[chrome gyro]

Ok

[trim schooner]

or at 0 hits is it 0% chance

[chrome gyro]

You can think that

[foggy sable]

Oswald

[chrome gyro]

And I can think it’s underrated

[chrome gyro]

…

Oswald?

[rare aurora]

my experimentalphysics prof used nabla for the derivative of a function with a single parameter the other day

[foggy sable]

Who at'd me

[chrome gyro]

Oh

Mb

[shrewd nymph]

It follows 10n/99 with n as the amount of hits taken since last activation iirc

[real pasture]

Keep using d/dx, multivariate functions can’t be written as f’(x,y) without giving a headache to the reader

[shrewd nymph]

so starts at 0, max is 90/99

[shrewd nymph]

Whats nabla?

[foggy sable]

So it needs a mod to not be bad

Which makes it...

[copper spruce]

Good

Great

[cursive geyser]

God the steamdeck is so awesome

[copper spruce]

like the sharp shadow buff mod

[wary hound]

WAT

theirs a mod for that

there*

[shrewd nymph]

Why do i feel like that exists

[trim schooner]

alright

[cursive geyser]

I just burned 3 hours off of a 6 hour journey playing hollow knight 🗣️

[foggy sable]

I saw that

[trim schooner]

what does it do

[cursive geyser]

And still at 70% 🔥

[copper spruce]

makes sharp shadow one shot most bosses

[trim schooner]

does it just increase dmg

[wary hound]

heyo

[trim schooner]

a slight buff

[wicked kiln]

sharp shadow need no buff it already the strongest charm

[shrewd nymph]

[rare aurora]

thing used for derivatives in 3 dimensions

[heavy shuttle]

Did I spy Calculus in HK disc

[foggy sable]

Great on nkg

[heavy shuttle]

Crazy

[wicked kiln]

sharp shadow is often overlooked but if you use it correctly its op

like whn you

[real pasture]

3?

[trim schooner]

yeah but against a lot of bosses it aint great

its good on some radiant ones tho

[wicked kiln]

or also when

[chrome gyro]

Fr

[heavy shuttle]

Sharo phadow is the best charm in the game I think

[wicked kiln]

especially when

[shrewd nymph]

Oh is that upside down delta

[wicked kiln]

cant think of anything

[heavy shuttle]

Anyway how do you guys beat Watcher Knights

[wary hound]

ddark

[shrewd nymph]

Shrieks and ddarks

[heavy shuttle]

Not genuine call for help

[trim schooner]

and shade souls

[shrewd nymph]

Spells in short

[trim schooner]

yup

[chrome gyro]

Dream nail when spawning and streaking

[trim schooner]

yo lune its possible to quadruple hit watcher knights with a shade soul yea

[heavy shuttle]

Again, not a genuine call for help

[chrome gyro]

Shreaking q-q

[trim schooner]

with perfect timing

[heavy shuttle]

Part of the Sharp Shadow joke

[shrewd nymph]

No clue sorry

[rare aurora]

apparently 1 too if you are my prof

[trim schooner]

o

[wicked kiln]

i just searched for my headset for hours

[heavy shuttle]

That would be actually kinda crazy I always thought it was pretty rare to hit 3

[wicked kiln]

now see it besides me on my bed

[real pasture]

Well your prof is technically right

Nabla is the del operator, defined for R^n

So it does technically work for 1 dim

[shrewd nymph]

Corty message without an emoji in it? Am i dreaming

[rare aurora]

i know but it’s still cursed

[real pasture]

Not happening

[heavy shuttle]

Corty how are you nowadays it's been a minute
You don't remember me probably since I had a rename and was inactive for about 2 years but I'm curious nonetheless. Was "TzarEddie" back then I think

[rare aurora]

that i didn’t know tho wtf

is this real?

[real pasture]

In 2D it’s fine tho

Yeah it’s real

[real pasture]

Hola

[zealous skiff]

smart people

[copper spruce]

Ew

[real pasture]

Mmm I do recall a TzarEddie from the past

[rare aurora]

that name rings a bell

[heavy shuttle]

Yay you'd be the first so far

[trim schooner]

i heard somewhere TASs land 4

[heavy shuttle]

That's bonkers damage

[trim schooner]

yea]

[fair gyro]

106% steel soul in 7 hours. I had no idea this was possible.

[heavy shuttle]

But anyway yeah I'm tryna make myself known again, it's cool seeing so many regulars still around

[fair gyro]

i started hk only a month ago

[wary hound]

cul

radhog ?

[shrewd nymph]

gg

[copper spruce]

No

[real pasture]

Formally, nabla is the function’s gradient, and any R^n function (if differentiable) has a well defined gradient - so even for 1D it works.
1D is cute tho because partial derivative and gradient are the same thing.
But 2D and onward, nabla and partial derivatives start to be totally different

[heavy shuttle]

I know just enough about what's going on to be interested

That's cool

[fair gyro]

am i in some wrong server or something

[heavy shuttle]

No you're good

[real pasture]

No I’m the one in the wrong server, usually

[heavy shuttle]

It's just late for most and activity is slim so off topic convos tend to foster

[wary hound]

tahts just

real

[foggy sable]

At this time discussion and off topic are the same

[wary hound]

well this server is AUSTRALIAN i like to think

so

[heavy shuttle]

It's definitely mostly American like a lot of places

[wary hound]

no

h ave U SEEN THE AUSTRALIANS

the australian proportion in hkmain is really inflated compared to like everywhere else

yes...

[shrewd nymph]

LMAO

[trim schooner]

i had to play tennis that week

[foggy sable]

39 but yes

And I melted

[heavy shuttle]

Yowza

[shrewd nymph]

its 22 for me rn im freezing

[wary hound]

i have no idea i dont touch grass yet am still ass at this game

[shrewd nymph]

ass is very harsh

[heavy shuttle]

I'm in Alaska and we're like -20's -30's (C) rn lol

[foggy sable]

But that is as hit as it ever gets and it wasn't humid

[shrewd nymph]

is that a fucking negative sign

[heavy shuttle]

Yes

[shrewd nymph]

im wrapped in a blanket snug as a bug rn
its positive 22

[wary hound]

well how good as in percentage wise do u reckon i would be by the stuff i have done

[foggy sable]

17 is the ideal temperature

[heavy shuttle]

I boil at 19 so blanket at 22 is insane to me

[shrewd nymph]

p5 is like 2-3%, radhog is harder than that

it'd be 2 max

[wary hound]

it is really? theres no way

not radhog

i mean 2-3 percent

done p5

[shrewd nymph]

it might be like 3-4 i have a shocking memory

[wary hound]

still

[shrewd nymph]

regardless its low and radhog is harder

[trim schooner]

id rather have 0 degree whether than 40

[foggy sable]

Same

[wary hound]

def

[foggy sable]

I like colder than warmer

[shrewd nymph]

can add more clothing than you can take off

[wary hound]

yeh ofc but i thought the hk community was a bit better then they are

[trim schooner]

whoever likes warmer over colder is just wrong

[heavy shuttle]

I don't know how many people have a 3 min or less PoP run but that's probably the rarest thing I've done

[trim schooner]

damn sunfall u ass

[wary hound]

THX FOR REMINDING ME

[shrewd nymph]

well the better players are more likely to be active in the discord (which causes which, i dont know) so your perspective is gonna be a likttle skewed

[trim schooner]

/j

[foggy sable]

I know someone who's ideal temperature is 30

[wary hound]

SHUTTUP

[trim schooner]

yeah their opinion is wrong

its just incorrect

i like mid 10 degrees

[shrewd nymph]

but if you go to a random hk player and ask if they've done p5 its gonna take you a hot minute. do the same in the discord and its still not quick but would be alot quicker

[heavy shuttle]

People who like extreme warmth are just coping

[wary hound]

yeh definitley i see u @trim schooner grey fire chomp the list goes on

[wild peak]

sumo hornet

[trim schooner]

yo youre not very active

[wary hound]

how>?

[trim schooner]

joke

[trim schooner]

im the one on the right

[heavy shuttle]

NONE of my friends have beaten p5 and like 8 of them have played HK to completion. It's so frustrating not being able to talk about Shade Lord when its relevant.

[wary hound]

im not sure of the skill of chomp i cant lie

i dont see hi9m much

[shrewd nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-detector-gif-9388384639890532829

[shrewd nymph]

r5, anyrad a few times, r04hog

namely r04hog

[trim schooner]

HOLY SHIT

[wary hound]

...

DAM

[trim schooner]

TOUCH GRASS-

[shrewd nymph]

very good

[heavy shuttle]

Remind me what 04 is

[trim schooner]

its ab old nail white spells

something else

[shrewd nymph]

old nail white spells all bindings

[wary hound]

is he th e best of u all? or have u dont that

[heavy shuttle]

Gotcha

[trim schooner]

i think greyfire is the best

[shrewd nymph]

well im not gonna compare him and grey because thats a bit weird and also hard
but hes alot better than me

[wary hound]

DAM

goddam

[trim schooner]

out of the 3 of us im by far the worst (me greyfire chomp)

[wary hound]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-fade-fading-smile-happy-to-sad-happy-to-shocked-fading-smile-emoji-gif-1686376427359871081

[trim schooner]

so yes im the one on the right

[shrewd nymph]

but also alot less time so its inevitable

[wary hound]

im on the one on right of the right one

[trim schooner]

yeah but i dont think taking time into account is good idea, not very scaleable

[wary hound]

OMG

[trim schooner]

PEAK

hold on

[wary hound]

me me and uh mee

[wary hound]

OMG

[trim schooner]

me myself and i

[wary hound]

yes

mimimi

[shrewd nymph]

its not to scale but its to be reasonable with expectations

[heavy shuttle]

Honk shoo

[wary hound]

me myself and u

[shrewd nymph]

your progress is ridiculously fast

[trim schooner]

lol

[trim schooner]

says the dude who did p5ab in less than 3 months

in lke 2 i think

[wary hound]

WAT

[shrewd nymph]

same guy who hasnt done boundless infinity

comparison doesnt really do much

[trim schooner]

bro lune got hk about the same time i did

[wary hound]

i feel

so

weak

[trim schooner]

it does p5ab is by far harder than 1.5x boundless infinity

[shrewd nymph]

eh

but either way its a different skill

[trim schooner]

p5ab

for fun

[shrewd nymph]

r5 like 8 times

[trim schooner]

i think hes done r5ab but idk

[shrewd nymph]

nah not r5ab

[trim schooner]

o

[wary hound]

quote @trim schooner " silkskong spoiler||lace 2|| is harder than boundless infinty hitless "

[shrewd nymph]

like 5 hits is their pb

[trim schooner]

guys can we all agree this is true

[heavy shuttle]

I know deep down within me I have the skill to do p5ab but I have not the willpower nor the respect toward p5

[trim schooner]

lace 2 is literally harder than mmc

wait no

mmc slightly harder

[shrewd nymph]

fair enough

[rare aurora]

ah, so that’s gradient, but are curl and divergence well defined for anything other than R^3?

[trim schooner]

yeah same

like if i really tried

i would be able to do it in a week or two maybe

[heavy shuttle]

Yup

[trim schooner]

but i do not have the mental capacity

[shrewd nymph]

ab is hard to get into because full gear is so much more fun

[trim schooner]

yeah

just boundless infinity ab will be awful for me

[mossy grove]

hey fellas

[heavy shuttle]

It's mostly the fact that I think p5 is awful that's keeping me from doing it

[trim schooner]

cant imagine p5ab

[wary hound]

deep down ik i cant beat a speedrun on pop and sumbit it

[mossy grove]

how are we

[trim schooner]

good hbu

yo can we agree mmc is by far the hardest boss in the game

[wary hound]

yes

[trim schooner]

harder than silksong spoiler ||lace 2||

[mossy grove]

I'm good, nothing like late night music

[trim schooner]

which is harder than ||boundless infinity||

[heavy shuttle]

I barely did the pantheons in the first place but PV tantalized me and then further, I couldn't complete RadHoG without hitting all the p5 exclusives. And by then, p5 win was right there within reach.

[celest warren]

Hello guys

[shrewd nymph]

might be crazier than the mmc take

[trim schooner]

no joke tho ||lace 2|| was rough for me

[heavy shuttle]

I'm glad I did though

[trim schooner]

rad mmc is the hardest challenge hk has to offer

rad mmc ab is impossible

[shrewd nymph]

hardest boss for me outside of sk spoiler || act 3 ||

[shrewd nymph]

unironically took me a while to learn

[trim schooner]

ngl i struggled to ||lace 2|| more than the entirety of ||act 3||

[trim schooner]

😂

[heavy shuttle]

Rad mmc is so hard I definitely could never ever do it with an autoclicker

[shrewd nymph]

i only just started walking forward on normal mmc 😭

i used to stay in place

[trim schooner]

the only reason i was ever able to beat skong spoiler ||lace 2|| was because i camped top right corner

to bait out that 1 attack

[wary hound]

https://tenor.com/view/silk-issue-gif-17994060641214438312

[trim schooner]

lol i always walked forward, as soon as i saw i was able to i was like, alright we playin aggressive now

[trim schooner]

infinity when

[shrewd nymph]

it looked scary for me

[trim schooner]

yeah dont blame you

[shrewd nymph]

but in rab mmc it took a few tries purely because i wanted to 1 cycle and nothing else

[trim schooner]

my playstyle is

[shrewd nymph]

but its deceivingly hard to time the shade souls (or i suck)

[wary hound]

nail only radabsrad when

[trim schooner]

if i can get in more smack

its always worth

[celest warren]

I passed Pantheon 2)

[shrewd nymph]

gg

[foggy sable]

I missed the entire other conversation but I'm not a fan of comparing players of different skillsets

[trim schooner]

if i lose 20 masks to land 1 hit

[wary hound]

fair

[trim schooner]

WORTH

[shrewd nymph]

im not a fan of comparing players fullstop tbh

[trim schooner]

gg

[wary hound]

@trim schooner i think u need this

[foggy sable]

I only rank people based on annoyance

[trim schooner]

im sorry

[shrewd nymph]

when im better at the game then we can start comparing players

[trim schooner]

how do i get first place

[wary hound]

something i would say

[foggy sable]

Good question

[wary hound]

nice

[wary hound]

am i ranked

[foggy sable]

Not yet

[wary hound]

yet

[heavy shuttle]

How can we get our gratification if we don't compare to each other it's outrageous it's unfair

[trim schooner]

yet

[real pasture]

Eheh, good question - divergence in 1D is still well defined, but it’s simply the derivative (gradient and divergence are equivalent).
Curl is… also well defined in 1D. However… it’s just 0

[trim schooner]

lmaoo

[shrewd nymph]

grey for me is like #1 for most annoying but also #1 for most liked

sshadow strats hurt

[foggy sable]

That's the best place to be

[trim schooner]

grey is prob #1 most respected for me in the server

[real pasture]

For curl to be non-trivial, you need to have at least 2D (and the curl vector will be oriented along the third, the zeta axis)

[trim schooner]

then its prob lune chomp and suscat

[shrewd nymph]

perfect chance for the dragon image

[trim schooner]

sun fall gets to be last

[shrewd nymph]

where is it

[wary hound]

for me id give it to lune cause like when i first started he kinda carried me when i wass confused

[shrewd nymph]

mum im famous

[wary hound]

😭

[trim schooner]

lunes goated but greyfire has got a W p5ab guide

[wary hound]

ur also last

[trim schooner]

i know

what are you gonna do about it

[foggy sable]

The other reason I don't like skill rankings is I don't think of myself as that good

[trim schooner]

what do you consider good then

r5ab b2b2b

[foggy sable]

So it feels weird to compare

[trim schooner]

no spells

no nail

ab

[wary hound]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-hollow-knight-hornet-shaw-hollow-knight-silksong-gif-13205433055363544945

[wary hound]

oh

wait

OH

[foggy sable]

idk I'm never happy with runs I do

[wary hound]

all wr speedruns

[trim schooner]

your guide is goated

[trim schooner]

0th place

[foggy sable]

What's good is anything people are proud of

So it varies

[trim schooner]

ja

[wary hound]

w take

[trim schooner]

unless youre proud of the fact you got to dirtmouth

SUNFALL

[wary hound]

WAT

[trim schooner]

/j

[foggy sable]

That guide is pretty good

[trim schooner]

make a video

[wary hound]

i dont need it cause i aint ever gonna be that

gud

[trim schooner]

nobody likes reading

[lilac ginkgo]

radiance was easier

[wary hound]

😭

[trim schooner]

i hate vengefly kings

[foggy sable]

I don't want to turn a 50 page document into video

[trim schooner]

lol

[foggy sable]

Effort and all that

[wary hound]

50 pages

dam

[heavy shuttle]

Low key I think the most uh special thing I've ever done in HK is playing the game up to and including the Hornet 1 bossfight with uh no hands

[wary hound]

ncie

[foggy sable]

15k words or something

[heavy shuttle]

Pretty proud of that

Yikes

[wary hound]

WAT THE ACTUAL FUCK thats ALOT

[trim schooner]

very special

[subtle glacier]

what is BI

[trim schooner]

im prolly autistic yea 😔

[copper spruce]

Do not go to hk gen

[wary hound]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-primal-aspid-machine-gun-minigun-i-hate-it-gif-17572793

[heavy shuttle]

Boundless infinity

[trim schooner]

boundless infinity

[wary hound]

modded boss

[heavy shuttle]

Snailed

[subtle glacier]

ahhh

[foggy sable]

People posting times and saying is this good for a first run annoys me because the metric should be are you happy with that time

[heavy shuttle]

Real

[foggy sable]

It felt like a lot to write

[wary hound]

yeh

it would be

[shrewd nymph]

i feel like its more than the first run time depends on how long you choose it to take

[trim schooner]

i mean without a benchmark how are they meant to know

i think most people ask because they have nothing to compare to

[heavy shuttle]

Oh SHOOT I learned snailing from this server didn't I

[trim schooner]

like they haven't had previous runs or anything

[heavy shuttle]

I've been doing that for years

[real pasture]

They’ve always existed as far as I remember, and they always will

[foggy sable]

Well the main thing comparing does is make you sad

[trim schooner]

whats snailing

[pliant bough]

[wary hound]

yes untill u win

[foggy sable]

Unfortunately

[heavy shuttle]

When someone asks something and you're first you can be annoying and snail anyone who says the answer after you

It's good fun

[trim schooner]

also i think asking if the time is good might give them a goal to work towards

[foggy sable]

Even then there is always someone better to compare to

[trim schooner]

lol

[heavy shuttle]

I forget who did it here

But I've retained it

[wary hound]

almost always but yeh

[foggy sable]

First playthroughs I mean

[trim schooner]

oh for first playthroughs if you did it you should be happy

[foggy sable]

Exactly

[wary hound]

im still onm y first playthrough

[trim schooner]

WHAT IS GOING ON

IN HK GEN

[full sinew]

I have more than 150h playtime only to realize that i can make the cyclone slash longer if i spammed attack button

[wary hound]

lol

not spam

u dont need to spam

[heavy shuttle]

Somewhere around the 600 mark is when I realized that

Just never really used it

[lilac ginkgo]

i dont even use the nail master things, my brain cannot focus on that while trying to run

[tawdry magnet]

ive heard about it but i dont use nail arts anyways

[trim schooner]

little ghost is goated

hes very cute

i love the grimmchild too

[wary hound]

trusst me u wont be bland

[trim schooner]

the most bland thing you can say is prolly hornet

[lost falcon]

Broken vessel and thk are tied for best character

[wary hound]

not the wind

[heavy shuttle]

Aesthetically I really like Markoth

[dull barn]

very respectful opinion

[trim schooner]

what wind

[wary hound]

i saw that

[trim schooner]

saw what

[lost falcon]

Objectively any other opinion is WRONG

[dull barn]

Yk what was cool, seeing the hollow knight before he grew up, when there was that one flashback

[wary hound]

nah

[trim schooner]

pure vessel is goated

[wary hound]

oh yeh

[dull barn]

He was cool and cute at the same time

[trim schooner]

yeah

[livid crater]

guys remember this meme during fireb0rn's speedruner vs hunter series?
I JUST SAW HIM.
WHERE?
In the room with the mushrooms who go WAAA.
The long room?
Yes.
Ok got it

[trim schooner]

im using that as my skin in hk

[wary hound]

is there a lore reason why we start at kings pass and not abyss

[trim schooner]

because thats where the game starts

what

little ghost just returned from outside of hallownest

[wary hound]

but ita makes no sense

[tidal pollen]

Yall what did you guys got/bought for Christmas

[trim schooner]

how

[heavy shuttle]

Hollow Knight has no lore

[trim schooner]

shirt

[peak hound]

the knight like
escaped from hallownest and lived outside it for a while

[dull barn]

Cause knight comes from a different place

Remember he left hollow nest?

He came back

[tidal pollen]

What kind of shirt?

[trim schooner]

idk

a shirt

[dull barn]

that's why it starts a kings past

[wary hound]

hallownest*

[trim schooner]

like a typical shirt

[wary hound]

idk

[dull barn]

Thank you 😭✌️

[trim schooner]

hollow knest

[tidal pollen]

What’s a typical shirt

[heavy shuttle]

Does anyone want to see a doodle I did many many years ago of Markoth surfing on his dreamshield

[trim schooner]

its your average tshirt

[tidal pollen]

Like just a white tshirt?

[wary hound]

with pv

tust

trust

[trim schooner]

not tryna sound ungrateful but i wanted a gpu bracket for my pc for like 10 bucks idk but like a bunch of people gifted me shit that was worth a lot more. but the shit was shit

[dull barn]

Ok this is a "hollow knight" channel, but is it wrong to feel that Silksong don't hit the same as the OG

[trim schooner]

nah its blue

[wary hound]

no

[trim schooner]

i like hk more

[dull barn]

Tuff

[heavy shuttle]

1 react is enough for me

[tidal pollen]

Nice

[dull barn]

Me too

[wary hound]

because the dlcs arent out when they are then that might change

[trim schooner]

yea

[wary hound]

but who know

[heavy shuttle]

Think I did this like 4 years ago at work lol

[tidal pollen]

Blue is an superior color

[trim schooner]

yo i just realised thats markoth

[dull barn]

Wait Silksong is getting dlcs????

[trim schooner]

actual W

[winter eagle]

i hope you overdose on fire reacts

[trim schooner]

#hk-announcements

[trim schooner]

[wary hound]

no
