[keen thorn]

Omg

[vernal knot]

That is nowhere implied

[rose ingot]

she's literally a puss moth caterpillar

[vernal knot]

Nor would make sense

[vernal knot]

That's not how it works

[agile zephyr]

Ascend with Gorb.

[vernal knot]

The moth's don't grow from a larvae state, they just were created already in that form

[uneven hare]

. Well well welll. Let this guy fight absrad

[keen thorn]

Her design is a moth caterpillar.
Although there are many ways she could have been completely separate from the moth tribe

[nocturne saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/niko-oneshot-niko-oneshot-gun-niko-oneshot-gun-gif-10161547811725706384

[vernal knot]

I mean yeah design wise yes

[vernal knot]

but It's basically the same argument as other Design choices, the real life animal doesn't directly affect the lore of the character in game

[atomic yacht]

Why would caterpillars have any need to exist then

[vernal knot]

Ask Bardoon

[atomic yacht]

Ask the grubs then too

[rose ingot]

idk i think there's something there

[atomic yacht]

Marmu is part of the moth tribe and that's a guarantee

[rose ingot]

its weird how moths are very important and then there's an entirely unrelated moth character

[atomic yacht]

I agree

[rose ingot]

maybe radiance made marmu a child because they were bored and wanted one idk

[atomic yacht]

I was thinking something but then it disappeared

[proper thunder]

Poof

[atomic yacht]

Exactly

[rose ingot]

i stole it

[atomic yacht]

Aw man

[proper thunder]

how dare you

[atomic yacht]

Can I have it back

[proper thunder]

rude

at least ask

[atomic yacht]

Yeah

[rose ingot]

i don't think marmu being part of the moth tribe conflicts with the existing lore???

[proper thunder]

I feel like he should already be older but

idk

[storm bolt]

why is marmu in the moth tribe?

[proper thunder]

he's a caterpillar

[rose ingot]

she's based on a puss moth caterpillar

[storm bolt]

still doesnt mean that she will grow up and become a moth

[rose ingot]

yeah because she's dead lmao

[storm bolt]

the grubs are also catepillars but they grow into grubberflies, not moths

[rose ingot]

yes but marmu has been directly stated to be a puss moth caterpillar

[nocturne saffron]

Hey guys I got the awoken dream nail!

[rose ingot]

marmu irl

[copper spruce]

Ew

ugly

destroy

[storm bolt]

the biology in hollow knight doesnt have to follow irl ya know

[foggy sable]

marmew

[proper thunder]

epic

[storm bolt]

for all we know marmu can grow into a rolls-royce if TC wants

[atomic yacht]

How would she have wanted to learn to fly if she couldn't become a moth

[proper thunder]

marred mu

[proper thunder]

marredmu iS a dream

[sacred cypress]

I find it strange how I decided to kill the radiance in less than 2 minutes.

[proper thunder]

what's wrong with you

[reef veldt]

white lady was just straight lying

[atomic yacht]

Well before she was dead at least, she wanted to and mentioned the Queen teaching her how when she finally showed up

[proper thunder]

meanwhile here I am and I can't beat trial of the conqueror

[languid gale]

pale kingt has millions of kids to seal the radiance then some random guy fixes the issue in 2 minutes

[sacred cypress]

I recorded the whole thing from the start, and when checked how long it took, it's 1 minute and 34 seonds

[wanton niche]

Goddamn it, I hate playing on mobile

[proper thunder]

I find it dumb that he didn't just seal the radiance in all his vessels

[rose ingot]

correction, the random guy was one of his kids he threw away

[wanton niche]

Does anyone have a controller that I can borrow?

[atomic yacht]

Not to mention one that he straight up ignored when it nearly climbed up

[languid gale]

he couldve just played hollow knight to make the knight the hollow knight

[proper thunder]

bro

[reef veldt]

top ten lore plotholes

[rose ingot]

anyways i just think there's an implication of marmu being a moth

[proper thunder]

[storm bolt]

just a theory anyway

[rose ingot]

also uh marmu kinda sounds like markoth
so there i win

[proper thunder]

A GAAAME THEORY

[storm bolt]

no she dont

[proper thunder]

best evidence yet

[rose ingot]

both names start with mar

[proper thunder]

koth mu

[storm bolt]

marmu is never confirmed to be a moth

[atomic yacht]

I agree wholeheartwdly but I know people are just gonna fight about it because God forbid real insects have an influence on fictional ones

They are a puss mother cagerpillar

Oh my god why can't i type moth

[proper thunder]

cagerpillar

[atomic yacht]

😭 😭

[rose ingot]

yeah its a bit silly saying "REAL LIFE HAS NO IMPACT ON HOLLOW KNIGHT" like come on vro

[proper thunder]

the humble bugs

[atomic yacht]

Some people just need to argue everything

[storm bolt]

it does have impact on hk but not everything has to follow irl

[reef veldt]

fun for theories but I don't think it should be considered cannon

[rose ingot]

if something as simple as "the moth character is a moth" can't be regarded as at least plausible we can just throw out any form of speculation

[atomic yacht]

Anyway im gonna disappear

Marmu is a moth

Goodnye

Goodbye

[rose ingot]

marmoth

[storm bolt]

*theory

[proper thunder]

ew

[rose ingot]

thats not how you spell moth silly

[storm bolt]

that's not how you spell theory silly

[rose ingot]

marmu is a theory

[proper thunder]

woah you spelled Garfield really wrong

[nocturne saffron]

Guys, now that I have awoken dream nail, should I go try white palace?(This is my first time playing)

[storm bolt]

yes

[languid gale]

if u want the true ending yeah

[nocturne saffron]

Ok

[proper thunder]

#hk-help ask here

[nocturne saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/neco-arc-necoarc-ok-okay-thumbs-up-gif-16993191038972557417

[rose ingot]

anyways what kind of bug is gorb

[proper thunder]

I have no idea

[storm bolt]

slug

[proper thunder]

brain

[proper thunder]

ohh that makes sense

[storm bolt]

altho some people theorize that he's a godseeker

[rose ingot]

i like that more

[proper thunder]

nah he's way too smart

[rose ingot]

considering they tell you to ascend

[rose ingot]

gorb took all the smort when he left godhome

[proper thunder]

he's gorb

[proper thunder]

[rose ingot]

galien
looks inside
not gay
not an alien

[proper thunder]

galien is honestly a chill guy

he just wanna spar

-# to the death

[frigid bronze]

Genuinely one of the calmest fights

[storm bolt]

sadly the og backer who created gorb specifically told TC that he's a slug so gorb being a godseeker is unlikely

[rose ingot]

thats what he was in his original concept but they changed him pretty heavily

[fallow grotto]

😱

[rose ingot]

original gorb

[fallow grotto]

gorb=gorbseeker

😂

[storm bolt]

anyways p3ab makes the collector the biggest bitch in the world

[fallow grotto]

hitless 🤔

itemless

😰

p…

5?

[viral schooner]

Can Ghost beat Sukuna

[rose ingot]

who

[storm bolt]

who is that

[wooden egret]

OOOOOOOba

OOOOoooOOOooo

[fallow grotto]

🤔

[rose ingot]

add a b at the start

[fallow grotto]

well ghost

WAIT

GHOST HAS RCT 😱 😰

[viral schooner]

Are we asking who ghost is or who Sukuna is

I hope it’s the latter cause LOL

[brisk steppe]

whats that whats a sukuna

[viral schooner]

Jujutsu Kaisen villain

[brisk steppe]

girllll

[storm bolt]

what is that

[brisk steppe]

https://tenor.com/view/what's-a-father-xxxtentacion-what's-that-gif-11961021069386735939

[storm bolt]

anime?

[viral schooner]

Ykw nvm fam 😭

[fallow grotto]

after deep consideration.

i’ve come to the conclusion

if ghost and sukuna were to fight.

sukuna would EASILY

FLAW

ghost

no chance of killing sukuna

[rose ingot]

why would they even fight

[fallow grotto]

that doesn’t matter

[rose ingot]

sukuna would just go "oh look a bug"

[viral schooner]

Because hypotheticals

[fallow grotto]

the fact is they are in this scenario

[viral schooner]

He does this anyway

Sukuna would say this to Goku let’s be real

[storm bolt]

so ghost just randomly found a multiverse portal or smth

[viral schooner]

Fuck it why not

[fallow grotto]

yeah.

100%

[rose ingot]

this is a problem i have with powerscalers sometimes
putting characters against each other who would realistically never fight

[fallow grotto]

ok.

but!

😂

[rose ingot]

also there's a bunch of factors we have to consider

[fallow grotto]

##################################################

[rose ingot]

how big is the knight where are they fighting how aware of each others power are they etc etc

[viral schooner]

It’s just for kicks we don’t gotta take it so serious

[storm bolt]

are we really out of hk content to talk about to the point that we're comparing the knight to random characters lol

[fallow grotto]

Ok true.

true.

true.

we don’t

😁

[rose ingot]

i know its just im autistic so it annoys me

[viral schooner]

Felt

[fallow grotto]

yes

[rose ingot]

this discord shit gets serious lad

[viral schooner]

My autism asked the question your autism dissected it

[storm bolt]

and the knight have descending dark so it solos fiction

case closed

[viral schooner]

Can Ghost beat Sailor Moon tho

[rose ingot]

assuming knight is in game size, yeah sukuna wins

[fallow grotto]

sukuna wins anyway

no matter the conditions

[rose ingot]

if we scale them to the same size, knight loses unless we're talking about shade lord, then its a maybe

[viral schooner]

Aside from that one joke tweet we don’t really have any sense of scale for the Hk verse

For the sake of simplicity we can assume ghost is about 3 feet tall

[rose ingot]

even with that, from the very little i know of JJK, sukuna would win

[rose ingot]

FELLA!!!

[fallow grotto]

😰

[wild sierra]

We need unn skin for that guy lol

[rose ingot]

uhhhhh how about kirby vs the knight

[fallow grotto]

Kirby is immortal.

[viral schooner]

Kirby outscales Sukuna. He could easily destroy ghost

[fallow grotto]

✌️

[viral schooner]

Literally what does ghost do once Kirby opens his mouth

[rose ingot]

technically so is the knight (unless you're in steel soul mode)

[fallow grotto]

that is a game mechanic

it is said

that Kirby

is legitimately immortal

[viral schooner]

Ghost’s shade is in universe I thought

[rose ingot]

if it was a simple live system id agree but shades are a bit more in depth

[fallow grotto]

how so

[viral schooner]

The issue isn’t immortality it’s that once Kirby swallows Ghost it’s GG

[rose ingot]

the game actually acknowledges as a real thing

[fallow grotto]

yeah the shade exists

[rose ingot]

they would be frens : )

love conquers all

except tanks

[viral schooner]

TRUE

[rose ingot]

anyways i gotta take a shower brb (first shower of 2026 can you believe /j)

[viral schooner]

That slash j holding up the weight of 20 days

[fallow grotto]

real question is

could

[viral schooner]

Does love exist

[fallow grotto]

the

[fallow grotto]

🤔

no

😂

[storm bolt]

maybe

[fallow grotto]

true

true

🍄 True…

[brisk steppe]

there is love everywhere for those with a heart to feel

[worn hamlet]

what if you lost ur heart to feel somewhere along the journey of life

[rose ingot]

and im back

[worn hamlet]

are there non-emotional forms of love?

or is that a contradiction?

[rose ingot]

its a contradiction, but i think it could exist

[worn hamlet]

hm interesting

ig that does make sense, since humans are walking contradictions

[viral schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/bowser-truth-nuke-morgan-freeman-true-truth-gif-6151562182164007019

[rose ingot]

anyways this is your reminder only male giraffe weevils have long necks but willoh is a girl

[woeful spire]

Hi guys. Im new to HK. I just got to Greenpath

[worn hamlet]

what's a giraffe weevil?

[storm bolt]

the species that willoh is based on ig

[worn hamlet]

hoii, just fyi spoilers are allowed in this channel so please either go to hk-help or be prepared just in case

[viral schooner]

Peak

[rose ingot]

a this

[woeful spire]

Ok

[worn hamlet]

alotta ppl are rather courteous here tho so if we know there's a new player here there tends to be no spoilers

[rose ingot]

wrong person

whoops

[worn hamlet]

lmao

[woeful spire]

Ty

[worn hamlet]

just beware there's always a possibility someone either doesn't notice or just decides to be mean

[rose ingot]

here's a female giraffe weevil for comparison

[brisk steppe]

pretentious assholes are everywhere in this server im afraid itll take like 2 minutes

[worn hamlet]

why's the male one have a broken neck ._.

[woeful spire]

I want to play the game and if I get spoilers itll be ok.

[brisk steppe]

im a hkcord member and i love giving unnecessary spoilers

[viral schooner]

Dress for the job you want not the job you have

[worn hamlet]

non-easy games do tend to have very elitist communities D:

[rose ingot]

males attract females by waving their necks

[worn hamlet]

LOL

[worn hamlet]

👍

[rose ingot]

let evolution do its thing and you end up with very long necks

[worn hamlet]

interesting

[worn hamlet]

huh strange

[brisk steppe]

ntm you getting murdered for finding an objectively complex boss hard

[wooden egret]

5 great knights are frauds

[rose ingot]

and here's what willoh looks like
note the long segmented necks found in the males

[worn hamlet]

ntm?

[brisk steppe]

like the average regular hk player does not find ||absrad|| easy get ur pretentious ass out of my face

[viral schooner]

Skdisc when you say you prefer a suboptimal build/crest

[brisk steppe]

not to mention

[worn hamlet]

me when I barely ever use tools bc I just don't like them for some reason

[worn hamlet]

ah ty :D

[viral schooner]

Single player game fans when the single player plays the game

[rose ingot]

also fun fact about giraffe weevils
females lay a single egg inside a leaf, swaddle them inside the leaf, and then drop the leaf to the forest floor

[brisk steppe]

i dont like items that are punishable upon usage so i rarely use my red tools

[rose ingot]

i just think thats very adorable

[brisk steppe]

i think like

[worn hamlet]

im ngl tho bc hk was my first non-first-party-nintendo game I prolly had the biggest skill issue in hk of the entire community

[woeful spire]

Anyway. So guys, is Greenpath the only other area you can get to from Forgotten Crossroads without any special items?

[viral schooner]

My parents did this too they aren’t that special

[worn hamlet]

fairr

[brisk steppe]

67 million hksk players need to die so the community is 2% less pretentious

[worn hamlet]

actually tho fr

[rose ingot]

your parents aren't bugs without proper hands

[storm bolt]

yep

[woeful spire]

Nice

[worn hamlet]

ye assuming you haven't found any upgrades yet

[viral schooner]

Proof? #Checkmate

[worn hamlet]

oh wait you need an upgrade for greenpath

[brisk steppe]

shiu

[worn hamlet]

assuming you haven't found any upgrades after greenpath ye

[storm bolt]

so pk learned from these bugs

[worn hamlet]

I think

[storm bolt]

interesting

[worn hamlet]

lol

[rose ingot]

oh also how does willoh being a sentient being work when ||the grimmsteeds|| are treated like slaves

[viral schooner]

No but you gotta be crafty and observant

[storm bolt]

the grimmsteeds are wearing grimm troupe's masks

[viral schooner]

Sentience doesn’t disqualify you from being a slave. If anything slavers prefer that

[storm bolt]

the nightmare heart use those mask to brainwash bugs to work for it

[brisk steppe]

sentience is what makes one a slave in first place

[worn hamlet]

don't read this new person :D||is it fungal or qg that u can get to?||

[brisk steppe]

in lore implications

[rose ingot]

yeah i hadn't thought of that
ig i just didn't think hallownest supported slavery

[viral schooner]

I think both

[rose ingot]

what is hallownest discriminatory towards weevils or something

[brisk steppe]

i dont think u can get to ||qg||

[viral schooner]

Grimm troupe is just like any circus. An osha hellzone

[woeful spire]

Imagine if Team Cherry made the next game have Zote be the main character

[storm bolt]

more like a cult lol

[brisk steppe]

youd need at least one [?] specific ability to reach the place

[viral schooner]

That too

[rose ingot]

cornifer is a weevil i think

also a fun fact about weevils

boll weevils helped end slavery

[storm bolt]

nah some people said that he's a mosquito

[celest bloom]

clearly not

[brisk steppe]

zero resemblance

[celest bloom]

we alr have mosquitos (spit squits, squits, those fatties in bilewater)

[storm bolt]

that's what people said

[storm bolt]

?

[brisk steppe]

weevil sounds about right

[subtle knoll]

my build for radiant markoth

[celest bloom]

gathering swarm for good luck

[viral schooner]

Do tell

[rose ingot]

african american farmers were reliant on cotton as a cash crop, this meant many farmers were forced to migrate to other regions, and the increased diversity helped lead to less lynchings and KKK activity, and higher non-white voter registration

so yeah weevils are cool for that

he ended segregation

[worn hamlet]

false

segregation never ended ._.

it's gotten a lot better yeah

but it's still a large issue

[rose ingot]

yeah ik

[wooden egret]

Where is wayward compass?

[viral schooner]

Wait this doesn’t mention weevils tho. I believe you I’m just confused

Do weevils eat cotton?

[thin wyvern]

Hatimas geo

[rose ingot]

boll weevils do

[viral schooner]

Huh. Learn something new every day

[wooden egret]

Is Pizza Tower still relevant nowadays?

[thin wyvern]

No

[viral schooner]

How does one gauge relevancy for indie games anyway

[thin wyvern]

It was indieslop of the week

[viral schooner]

It’s so weird and fucked

[rose ingot]

and there was a pretty huge boll weevil outbreak right around the time huge amounts of african-american immigration began

[wooden egret]

I mean the company made another game I don't blame you for never hearing about

[rose ingot]

slopslop

[viral schooner]

So you mean in terms of marketing?

[rose ingot]

slopslopsloplslop is what noise a dog makes when they drink water

[worn hamlet]

what does relevancy even mean for games

[rose ingot]

sometimes i hear a pizza tower sound effect in memes or music and i have a fucking neuron activation moment

[viral schooner]

Depends on the industry level I suppose

[worn hamlet]

like is it based on player satisfaction and profit?

or like how good critics rate it?

[viral schooner]

any indie game edging out AAA in terms of relevancy is a feat. Which is why game awards this year was more or less historic

[rose ingot]

by those metrics, yeah it did pretty great

[worn hamlet]

yeah bc AAA games are slacking and being overly greedy

[rose ingot]

i think it was nominated for goty
didn't win obviously but still, even being nominated is a huge feat

[worn hamlet]

yeah but im wondering what the metrics for "relevancy" of a game are

[rose ingot]

especially for a game made by literally 1 guy

[worn hamlet]

dangg

that's impressive

what actually is pizza tower?

[rose ingot]

well, soundtrack was composed by 2 dudes

but like the actual game was one dude

[viral schooner]

I have never played pizza tower but given its most comparable game is also a niche one makes sense it’s not exactly trending

[worn hamlet]

the soundtrack is a part of the "actual game"...

soundtrack is an extremely integral part of a game

[viral schooner]

I think indie devs should worry less about chasing limelight

[worn hamlet]

tc would be an incredible role model for that

albeit they have a good amount of comfortability from how much profits their games made

[rose ingot]

my personal view is that gameplay and art style are most important, but yeah i can understand that

[opal marsh]

hey if one of you dont own silksong i have a steam key to give someone

[worn hamlet]

but literally taking 7 years to make a game heedless of how much the community wanted it to come out

genuine madmen in the best way possible for that

[worn hamlet]

:o

[wooden egret]

It won goty on steam

[worn hamlet]

I'd be down, but then again I already have ss on my switch

[languid gale]

wow

[rose ingot]

no thanks, give it to someone else : )

[worn hamlet]

prolly better to give it to someone who doesn't have the game lol

[opal marsh]

Or if you know anyone that want's it lol

[viral schooner]

Part of me wonders if they’re lying

[worn hamlet]

honestly valid

[opal marsh]

its only for steam

[worn hamlet]

and entirely possible

[rose ingot]

wait it did

[wooden egret]

If you’re a young boy and you’re in a situation where you’re an F student, let me tell you something, you got a bright future, buddy. You see, an A student is the perfect employee. He works for me and he does his job perfectly. A B student, that’s my manager. The C students, those are business owners. Then, you got the D. D is between a business owner and an inventor. It’s someone that owns a business, but truly wants to invent something. He just doesn’t know how to do it. And then you got the F students. The F students are inventors. They’re so fucking creative that they couldn’t sit in class because whatever people were trying to put in their head, they knew it was fucking bullshit.

[viral schooner]

Would be a valid lie too. We did have a global pandemic at one point over those 7 years

[worn hamlet]

frrr

tbh I just believe it bc I really wanna believe there's ppl like that out there

[rose ingot]

a lot of the best indie games take forever to come out
deltarune, pizza tower, silksong, not yandere sim, etc

[viral schooner]

True.

[worn hamlet]

who are in the spotlight and have fun and don't care abt the fact that they're in the spotlight

[viral schooner]

It took Herbert 11 years to write Dune. Just gotta trust the process sometimes

[rose ingot]

silksong not winning game of the year is still bullshit

[languid gale]

real

[wooden egret]

Cuphead DLC

[rose ingot]

i didn't even hear about expedition 33 before it won goty

[little pebble]

HOLY SHIT IT THE NOISE

[wooden egret]

Geometry Dash 2.2

[little pebble]

Fr

[foggy sable]

I heard a lot about it much before

[languid gale]

Blame ||bilewater||

[little pebble]

Never mentioned that ratchet place in my presence

WAIT

I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING

[rose ingot]

like with pizza tower not winning goty i understood, the deck was stacked with bg3 and totk, but really, expedition 33 won?

[wooden egret]

I am planning to get it soon. It better be a masterpiece of 2 centuries of gaming or else I will nuke the entire country of france

[foggy sable]

do you know anything about e33?

[shrewd nymph]

expedition 33 was the best game there by a long shot

its the most goty awards now just beating elden ring (albeit a weird metric for er)

[rose ingot]

i don't think it deserved like every game award lol

the 33 stands for how many awards it won

[eternal nexus]

have you played it?

[shrewd nymph]

i mean maybe not for the sake of the audience

but it still deserved them

[foggy sable]

I don't even like sk more than hk anyway

[wooden egret]

Many of the awards were still fraud though.
Game direction yeah objectively goes to e33
Best art direction? Where Hades and Silksong were nominated? Bs
How come KCD didn't win best narrative?

[viral schooner]

I would not have chosen silk song or E33.

[shrewd nymph]

do you know the story of e33???

it is revolutionary

[wooden egret]

Not to mention individual awards were also in favour of e33 actresses

[viral schooner]

I’m sure one can make an informed guess as to what my vote for game of the year would be

[wooden egret]

Still you can't deny it robbed the best art direction and best narrative

[rose ingot]

Yeah silksong def should've at least gotten art direction

[shrewd nymph]

i literally just denied narrative, for art it you can argue sk

[wooden egret]

Also Sonic fnabase were furious lmaol

[little pebble]

Hey guys, what are we talking about?

[shrewd nymph]

e33 had far better art and graphics but sk was handdrawn or wtv happened there

but narrative is e33 3 fold

[viral schooner]

Hades 2 clears unfortunately

[wooden egret]

Hades II also had pretty good handrawn graphics

[viral schooner]

Silksong had that weird blurry background effect that I think really held it back

[rose ingot]

I would've gladly accepted that too

[shrewd nymph]

i did but sk was more notable from that side of the award

hades 2 art is great as well

[wooden egret]

Not really. It wasn't intrusive like Greenpath in previous game.

[viral schooner]

Maybe it should’ve been

[shrewd nymph]

but if you have ever beaten e33 then you would know the story is incomparable

[wooden egret]

I feel like Kingdoms Come Deliverance was way more promising

[shrewd nymph]

have you beaten e33?

[viral schooner]

Would probably have won if it was a little more in your face

[wooden egret]

Nah I am planning to get it. Along with Silent Hill 2

[viral schooner]

The problem is there’s so much detail in the background that you just cannot see unmodded

[shrewd nymph]

ive heard silent hill 2 is great i gotta check it out as well

[wooden egret]

Try Yakuza 0 too

[shrewd nymph]

never heard of it, preciate the recommendation

[rose ingot]

i also do feel like the game awards judge games too much like movies instead of yknow games

like i keep hearing about how good the story of expedition 33 is, but what about the gameplay? how does it feel to play?

[viral schooner]

Yea TGA should be taken about as seriously as any academy award. So basically not at all.

[wooden egret]

Goty best game adaptation nominees were no higher than 5 out of 10 😭

[viral schooner]

What’s more important is finding out what your best games of the year are

[wooden egret]

Sonic 3 is nowhere to be seen even though it met the deadline even if it is on late December

[eternal nexus]

turn based combat with some qte and parrying, skill based builds, nothing groundbreaking but very well executed.

[wooden egret]

Mario Kart World won best racing/sports game award 😭

[rose ingot]

are the hk plushies still in stock

[empty lynx]

One word
Sirene

[wooden egret]

Good fucking job Nintendo bribing the critics here

[rose ingot]

kirby air riders was a million times better

[tall marten]

Is eternal emilitia supposed to be for lore or do they have a quest?

[wooden egret]

The game was booed by the crowd as soon as it was announced

[rose ingot]

and thats not mentioning SONIC CROSSWORLDS

[storm bolt]

lore

[rose ingot]

[viral schooner]

What’s wrong w that

[wooden egret]

Sorry I don't pay 90$ game only accessible on a 500$ console that requires a hundreds more dollars to actually benefit from it's features that are sold separately

[tall marten]

Talking switch 2?

[eternal nexus]

just like any nintendo game

[wooden egret]

Yup

[rose ingot]

hey leave pikmin and kirby out of this

[tall marten]

You don't even own it if you buy it, you buy a license to use it. So you are paying 500 dollars for something you don't even own

[rose ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/pikmin-gif-17607979688846340675

[viral schooner]

Yeah but tga doesn’t vote based on ethics. If they did then black myth Wukong would’ve been disqualified

[worn hamlet]

and this is why I own a steam deck and will never buy nintendo products ever again post switch 1

[fast prism]

Quick question
Which stag station is closest to nailsmith
Kings station
City storeroom

[proper thunder]

if buying isn't owning

[wooden egret]

Exactly you can simply buy the physical copy, dump the files on pc and run them on an emulator

[worn hamlet]

pirating isn't stealing

we known the slogan ._.

[proper thunder]

yes

[viral schooner]

I digress

[worn hamlet]

same

[rose ingot]

who here is a pikmin fan

[worn hamlet]

imo pirating should be outlawed and there should be more laws protecting consumers

[worn hamlet]

but it isn't a perfect world we live in

[worn hamlet]

nope

[proper thunder]

if you buy something you should own it

[worn hamlet]

I just know pikmin from smash bros and I hate playing him

[proper thunder]

renting games is weird to me

[worn hamlet]

renting games is fine

[eternal nexus]

yeah, king's station

[worn hamlet]

but it should be separate from buying the game

[proper thunder]

cuz it's not like someone else gets the code

[fast prism]

Ok thx

[proper thunder]

you should be able to rent and buy it

[worn hamlet]

exactly

[proper thunder]

not just rent

[rose ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/pikmin-bulborb-stare-what-what-did-you-say-gif-6870026877961454859

[worn hamlet]

rn we basically have a one-time payment renting system

[proper thunder]

so you can modify it freely

[proper thunder]

where you can't even use mods

[worn hamlet]

and it's extremely overpriced and advertised as "buying"

[proper thunder]

If you don't own it, it ain't buying

if it ain't hollow, it ain't knight

[worn hamlet]

yeah, someone should be able to sue them for false advertisement

[rose ingot]

remember, every bad decision made by a company is almost always caused by shareholders
shareholders suck we should put them in a big hole

[worn hamlet]

but ofc as big corps tend to do they have an army of lawyers :D

[proper thunder]

roblox

[proper thunder]

saul

[rose ingot]

life is roblox

[worn hamlet]

the idea of a company being owned by ppl who aren't internally a part of the company's system is bs

[proper thunder]

age verify first

[rose ingot]

this is why we put them in the hole

[worn hamlet]

but the discussion that leads to leads to some of my hottest takes

[proper thunder]

I believe shareholding is a good idea

[worn hamlet]

and I'd rather not cause an argument

[proper thunder]

when they care for the product

not just the money

[worn hamlet]

which they never do

[tall marten]

Okay, this ||little buddy that Grimm gives you|| is so adorable

[worn hamlet]

because that isn't what investing is

[rose ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/the-thing-fantastic-four-first-steps-f4-richie-the-bear-here's-the-thing-gif-10866717939802756885

[proper thunder]

grimmchild?

[rose ingot]

they quite literally never do, by design

[worn hamlet]

yeah some of the investors will care abt the product bc they prefer to invest in smth they belive in

[tall marten]

Yes

[worn hamlet]

but that's the 1%

[proper thunder]

aka me

[worn hamlet]

the entire concept of investing is to make profit

[rose ingot]

the entire point of a shareholder is to make profit

they don't care

[young lake]

how do i beat absolute radiance, , the sequel to radiance @fresh isle pls help >.<

[worn hamlet]

instead, donating to startups should be normalized

[proper thunder]

deal damage

[rose ingot]

they want the company to take as many shortcuts as humanly possible

wtf i missed kali

and jay and lune

i missed everyone :(

[civic ridge]

i still haven't gotten the help I need even in the mod discussion server. my transcendence mod and bomber knight mod aren't working. someone did say to create another new save for these mods to work, but idk how to do that😭 , help a non techy brutha out

[foggy sable]

do you have the dependencies?

[civic ridge]

yup

i have both lumafly and r2dmon

[foggy sable]

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mods

then using them on a new save file

[frigid terrace]

Bro missed everything

[civic ridge]

wdym by using them on a new save file

[foggy sable]

so you know how to start a new game right?

[civic ridge]

no let me try that

[wind garnet]

soapi and grey what is this a retirement home???

[foggy sable]

you start a new game with the mods on

[frigid terrace]

Man fuck

[civic ridge]

like my previous progress gone?

[foggy sable]

I'll get a screenshot

[sudden helm]

Guys can i download the multiplayer mod on phone? (I remember seeing a YouTuber playing together with some people)

[civic ridge]

ik that stuff

[frigid terrace]

Yea click on it

[foggy sable]

make a new game

[graceful frigate]

Hello

[civic ridge]

so basically I can't play the mod on my 210 h save

[foggy sable]

correct

you have to create a new game(a new save) and play the mods there

[civic ridge]

wtf 😭

[foggy sable]

because they add stuff to the game

[civic ridge]

damn

[foggy sable]

the good news is transcendence mod is so op you should get back quickly

also it is 37 degrees at,like, 7pm this is unfair

[civic ridge]

I was going to use the charms there to beat great isma

But you saying op would mean that it'll ruin the fun

[foggy sable]

they vary in how strong they are

[civic ridge]

idk why I just can't beat great isma. I'm so fricking done with it man

do u have any tips

[storm bolt]

pale court?

[civic ridge]

yea

[foggy sable]

I don't play pale court

other than the one time

[civic ridge]

and you have 700 plus hours

[north charm]

ggs

[storm bolt]

strength, MoP, shaman and another 2 notch charm

[foggy sable]

in unmodded mostly

well not unmodded per se

but unmodded for gameplay mods

[civic ridge]

how long u playing. U guys must've been wating for silksong so long lol. I just got into hollow knight 2 years ago

[foggy sable]

silksong was never a thing to wait for

plenty of good games came out before it so

[civic ridge]

that is true

[wooden egret]

All roads lead to ||Sinner's Road||

[civic ridge]

I have downloaded silksong but haven't started it yet. I'm so determined to beat pale court before it.

[wooden egret]

Pale Court cant be that hard

Right?

[north charm]

right!

[civic ridge]

I just started it yesterday, I stopped playing games for 5 months cuz of some reasons

so maybe that's why I'm finding it rlly hard to beat it

[hidden spire]

Idk I've only beaten like 2 boss lmao

[civic ridge]

just opened silksong yesterday but didn't play

[hidden spire]

Zemer and dryya

[north charm]

liar

you played for 5 minutes

[civic ridge]

lol

[civic ridge]

[smoky matrix]

[civic ridge]

I have one question for u guys, hk or silksong?

[young lake]

none

both games SUCK

[civic ridge]

which is better

[unborn crag]

play a better game

like

[civic ridge]

no way bruh

[unborn crag]

[north charm]

hk

[smoky matrix]

FUCK.
It's Mage.
Everyone. RUN!!!!

[unborn crag]

my fault ill go

[smoky matrix]

Thanks, g.

[unborn crag]

its clear im just so hated ughhh sighhh sadly walks out

[smoky matrix]

I have two rings that I wanna show you but even my hands give me dysmorphia. :")

[civic ridge]

I asked the same question in the silksong discussion, they said the latter. Everyone's biased lol

[storm bolt]

hk better for me, but the skong dlcs might change that

[young lake]

me wehn i meant what i said

[storm bolt]

i need an improved version of first sinner

[civic ridge]

I mean everybody has their own opinions. I don't mind what u said

[young lake]

hk and like silksong are like mid games,, i wont go into like why i dont like silksong that much since this is like hkdisc but i genuinely dont like hollow knight much besides the insanely high skill cieling that absrad has

[storm bolt]

everything is subjective, i respect it

[storm bolt]

well except heavy blow ofc

[oak maple]

I'M ILL. I'M ILL. HE PUT THE FLOWER IN THE POT. MY HEART.

[smoky matrix]

Okay, dysmorphia can go to hell.

[smoky matrix]

Yeah.

[civic ridge]

does everybody here love indie games? If so wht r ur favs?

[smoky matrix]

@young lake @unborn crag
Ring.

S.

[young lake]

wa it those r

[smoky matrix]

Silksong.

[young lake]

awesome

[smoky matrix]

Thanks.

[foggy sable]

celeste

[young lake]

i wish i wore more rings

they feel awesome on the hands

[storm bolt]

nine sols

[young lake]

i wish i wore more jewlery in general

[shrewd nymph]

are you married

[oak maple]

Cuphead! i suck ass at it but it's fun

[smoky matrix]

No.

[foggy sable]

the problem is celeste is really bad for my hands

[shrewd nymph]

oh mb

guh

[worn hamlet]

dead cells

by far

[smoky matrix]

Also, that's my right hand.

[worn hamlet]

tho hk is super nostalgic bc it was my first one

[shrewd nymph]

i aint married how am i supposed to know

[storm bolt]

good taste

[smoky matrix]

Kinda same.

[worn hamlet]

just recently got to my second boss on it :D

||the clockwork dude||

[smoky matrix]

Compare your hand with the one in the image.

[unborn crag]

ring.

[civic ridge]

nine sols was alright. probs just a bit overrated for me. I loved blaspehmous, inscryption, celeste, hk

[foggy sable]

dead cells was fun

I prefer hades as a roguelite though

[storm bolt]

nice, reminder that there are 5 different difficulty, each one harder than the last:)

[smoky matrix]

Very ring.

[worn hamlet]

tbh I got hades and then immediately disliked it

the main weapon is just so clunky and annoying to use

[foggy sable]

hm I see

I don't use the main weapon ever

[unborn crag]

very cool ring i like rings

[civic ridge]

hades was so good tho

[worn hamlet]

and the hybrid between 3D and 2D is really annoying for the camera angle

[worn hamlet]

wait there's faster ones?

[foggy sable]

yes

[smoky matrix]

I also got a earcuff but it is so hard to make it look good.

[worn hamlet]

I saw different ones, but they all looked like the big archetype

[civic ridge]

yea

[foggy sable]

there are longer ranged ones, faster ones, all sorts

[worn hamlet]

man why do they have to be so difficult to unlock

ugh

[storm bolt]

so is hades worth it?

[foggy sable]

I did find getting keys to be exceedingly slow

[civic ridge]

yes

imo

[worn hamlet]

maybe I just liked dead cells more bc it's been easier ._.

[foggy sable]

however once you have a second weapon it gets easier

I didn't like the movement in hades

[storm bolt]

aight

[foggy sable]

too much other 2d games maybe

in dead cells rather

I did like it in hades

[civic ridge]

hades 2 was much better tho

[foggy sable]

the movement

once you get the second dash

[civic ridge]

the synergies went absolutely hard

[worn hamlet]

?

that's what i meant

[foggy sable]

that was me being silly and saying the wrong name

[worn hamlet]

oh lol

[foggy sable]

dead cells I didn't like the jump and dash movement

[worn hamlet]

honestly my main issue with hades is just the weird viewing angle

[foggy sable]

that is fair

[storm bolt]

why?

[foggy sable]

it feels way too heavy

[worn hamlet]

like it feels like a game that shouldn't have height, but there's height visual that makes it difficult to tell where i am on the plane which I move on

[storm bolt]

i agree on the jump

[worn hamlet]

even though im moving in a 2D plane

[storm bolt]

the roll feels normal

[slim willow]

guys

[civic ridge]

that is true

[worn hamlet]

it's like 2.5D and it's so weird to my brain

[slim willow]

i was doing ||absolute radiance|| on radiant

[foggy sable]

also dead cells has way too much blueprint grinding for me

[slim willow]

and one of the dream sword things

[worn hamlet]

tbh I pay like 0 attention to the blueprints

[slim willow]

somehow got stuck

[civic ridge]

It can feel like that at first but once you start playing, you will fall in love

[slim willow]

and was still there when I restarted 💀

[storm bolt]

just use blueprint extractor?

[worn hamlet]

if I find a cool combo that I like then I kinda just stick with it

[foggy sable]

still exceedingly annoying

[worn hamlet]

the blueprint unlocking was slow, but fast enough that I didn't get bored of my main loadouts before obtaining the means for new ones

[worn hamlet]

oki

[storm bolt]

well you can aim for good items only

[worn hamlet]

gonna try picking it up again then :D

[foggy sable]

you have to find the right enemies, perform the ritual and hope you don't accidentally kill them

[worn hamlet]

blueprint extractor?

[worn hamlet]

?

ritual?

[storm bolt]

i mean the hunter's grenade

[worn hamlet]

no idea what that is

[foggy sable]

the blueprint extractor requires doing a few things

and also you need about a billion cells for things

[worn hamlet]

shrue

[storm bolt]

you can use that to extract blueprint from enemies

instead of having to rely on rng

[foggy sable]

like, I did bc 3 and my blueprints suck and I need a bunch of cells

[worn hamlet]

oh with the whole elite enemy thingie?

[foggy sable]

no motivation to grind it out

[storm bolt]

yes

[worn hamlet]

ye I remember that

but then it disappeared

after a couple times of using it

[tropic hamlet]

Hello

[worn hamlet]

fairr

[storm bolt]

5bc cursed sword only made me question my sanity

[tropic hamlet]

Im a fatass grubby

[worn hamlet]

no idea what that is

[foggy sable]

I mean, hades is the same with the grinding but at least I felt there was lots of progression items

[worn hamlet]

well grinding is the name of the game for rougelikes lol

[tropic hamlet]

😄

: D

[storm bolt]

cursed sword have extremely high dmg but you die in 1 hit

[foggy sable]

I beat dead cells bc 0 in 6 attempts...

[worn hamlet]

sounds vaguely familiar

might've encountered it at some point but I really don't like debuffs so I prolly avoided it

or recycled it

[storm bolt]

damn

[worn hamlet]

um

....

[foggy sable]

you can see the reason for the grinding

[worn hamlet]

I don't wanna talk about my attempt count ._.

[storm bolt]

5bc cursed sword only took me more than 200 attempts lol

[worn hamlet]

but now im honestly kinda curious

what my attempt count is

time to check it

[foggy sable]

hades was 10 for heat 0

[worn hamlet]

mm

[storm bolt]

btw do you have any tip for p3ab?

[worn hamlet]

restarting steam deck bc it isn't doing its thing

[foggy sable]

which part?

[storm bolt]

collector and gpz sucks

[foggy sable]

collector charge cyclone between waves to insta kill the minions

find gpz in here
