hk-discussion

[stark marlin]

on brothers you just sit on wallcling and pogo some as they come close
on sheo it's not that fun

tank him

[summer bluff]

well oro and mato combined have more health than sheo alone so idk how its easier

[stark marlin]

sheo has less health but is less braindead to avoid

[proud haven]

Bye now hk chat I am gonna go play batman

[royal dome]

I found sheo easier ngl

[summer bluff]

projectiles..

[tropic nest]

sheo is easier without the use of whatever that cheese is

[keen thorn]

Sheo cheese? 😭

[royal dome]

That and I suck at multi-boss combat

[tropic nest]

this Genio

[stark marlin]

oh well I figured as brothers' attacks are as they are, wallcling is the intended way to avoid them

[summer bluff]

fuck watcher knights...

[royal dome]

Real

[keen thorn]

Why wallcling

[stark marlin]

normal watcherknights suck
they ruined my run

[royal dome]

That was the worst part of my first playthrough

[summer bluff]

let me see someone say they rad watcher knights and loved it

[tropic nest]

under or away from the overhead, over or away from the slash

[stark marlin]

so they take brain damage and fail to hit you 90% of the time

[royal dome]

I might’ve struggled with them more than radiance lol

[keen thorn]

There are many ways to dodge Oro and mato while actually dealing damage

[summer bluff]

watcher knights are the worst

[royal dome]

I did it, did not enjoy

[summer bluff]

wow

[stark marlin]

you just uncling and pogo once the brother is grounded

[keen thorn]

Yes but that's so slow

You're gonna make the fight longer than an 04 clear

[stark marlin]

slow and steady wins the race
you don't want to die by accident, do you?

[tropic nest]

not really, longer fight = more windows to fail

[keen thorn]

Slow and steady wins the race unless you fall asleep of how slow you're going and now even the snails are ahead

[royal dome]

I still don’t understand why they’re there from a worldbuilding standpoint lol

[stark marlin]

WELL if you play with such strats the word "mistake" loses it's weight

[summer bluff]

anyone elses fav boss lost kin as well

[royal dome]

Mine is soul tyrant

[summer bluff]

ah

that guy

[stark marlin]

mine is gorb

[tropic nest]

decent but zote is in the game so

[summer bluff]

true

[summer bluff]

as long as its not eternal ordeal

[royal dome]

I hate grey prince Zote so much 💔

[summer bluff]

he fucked me up a lot in p3

[strong skiff]

ok fuck no i cant be bothered with this

[royal dome]

That’s why I started a new playthrough, so he wouldn’t be in p3

[summer bluff]

LMAO

rip

[tropic nest]

least sloggy low gear run

[strong skiff]

i almost killed 4 on the second attempt tho its free

[strong skiff]

i just wanted to prove that its free,i didnt want to clear it

and i did do that

[summer bluff]

pv fun ngl but still need to attune

[strong skiff]

i have better things to do than a 10 minute fight

[summer bluff]

pv kinda more fun than nkg

[strong skiff]

A lot*

[royal dome]

I’ve still never fought pv bc I’ve never cleared p3 💔

[summer bluff]

yeah NKG keeps fuckin me up I die 3 moves in

[strong skiff]

Pv is better than nkg because it can be speedran

[stark marlin]

do you have 11 charm notches?

[summer bluff]

stupid flames

[royal dome]

On the bright side he gets very consistent

[strong skiff]

Nkg takes 95 million years regardless

[summer bluff]

not lookin forward to p5

[royal dome]

I have everything except C3, P3, P4, and P5 on that file

[summer bluff]

im gonna do p4 once I get lifeblood

workin on p2 bindings next

[stark marlin]

so use grubsong, elegy, weaversong, quick focus and stalwart shell as your build
whatever happens, just heal (maybe uumuu and great slash of sly an exception)

[royal dome]

No I’m doing a new file bc I can’t do zote for the life of me so I want him gone

[stark marlin]

can't you use the aforementioned build on him too?

[royal dome]

I’m doing it my way idk

[cerulean copper]

Can't believe my eyes but failed champion is actually whooping me

[royal dome]

Do you have shade cloak?

I love doing brooding mawlek as my first boss each playthrough for no reason

[cerulean copper]

Yes ;_;

[wicked ember]

nice me too

[stark marlin]

I strongly suggest spells
as he's susceptible to a speedkill

[cerulean copper]

Yea i GOT to start using spells more. I almost never use them at all, but i know they can be a major help if timed right

[royal dome]

Also you can dreamnail his face for soul

[wicked ember]

Failed champ is like the most stunnable out of all bosses

and if u wana do rad or speed u just need fluke and some timing

[gloomy scarab]

That’s probably lost kin/bv

[keen thorn]

6 attempts at a 10 minute fight is an hour tho

[stark marlin]

I generally follow a rule "focus is the best spell"
but because of fc's specific mechanics, spells are most viable on him

[royal dome]

I think he was my third rad lol

[gloomy scarab]

But if you mean easiest to get into a loop then that’s technically MMC but whatever

[keen thorn]

The time to kill WK is just disproportionately inflated by the insane hp pool

[wicked ember]

yeah but u can like have checkpoits whit him u just need to hit it''s armor

[keen thorn]

Also you will kill the first one every attempt because it's free

[wicked ember]

yeah same

[stark marlin]

no that's crystal guardian
mmc is so weird I always do him dirty with like 5 heals

[wicked ember]

3rd or 4th

[wicked ember]

just use quickslash and nail turnaraound and if he charges u then it's gg

u just need to time it

@stark marlin where is goth lover?

[stark marlin]

well I'm not willing to use qslash for the entire pantheon segment only to have a clean mmc fight
he's easy anyway, and the timing is weird

[wicked ember]

what build u use?

[rose peak]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-25277476

[stark marlin]

tank build my most foolproof and beloved
born of soul and heal, it shall bind the bosses that annoy by dreams
grubsong, elegy, weaversong, stalwart shell, quick focus

[wicked ember]

abs ray ray was easy after some attempts

[stark marlin]

does absrad have an extra phase after climb?

[wicked ember]

ayo what a build

[pliant bough]

ts is lightwork

[wicked ember]

u mean if it's different than normal rayray?

[stark marlin]

I then swap weaversong to shape of unn after white defender
as weaverlings will end fc's stagger early
and then swap to absrad build after nkg

[wicked ember]

then yes

[rose peak]

https://tenor.com/view/zote-the-mighty-hollow-knight-theres-so-much-ted-zote-gif-11485464035912248894

[wicked ember]

it has like a small pogo phase

[wicked ember]

I HATE ZOTE WITH ALL MY HEARTH

[stark marlin]

like after you climb normal rad, the fight is over
but on the gif there's something after climb phase, or is it modded?

[rose peak]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-zote-the-knight-gif-14177395

[wicked ember]

normal

[pliant bough]

modded

[wicked ember]

u need to pogo on abs for like a bit

[rose peak]

Modded

[wicked ember]

Fake news

[stark marlin]

I'm in luck my absrad build includes longnail and qslash

[brave kite]

modded

[rose peak]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-25277476

[pliant bough]

no it demonstratably is

[brave kite]

mod called eclipse radiance

https://tenor.com/view/baldi-baldis-basics-meme-memes-hit-gif-17751487661233734138

[pliant bough]

radiance doesnt have a full spikefloor phase

[worn prism]

So I switched charms and hiveblood is high key carrying me rn
Reached the second phase
Sure hope I don't die and lose 15 minutes of progress

[wicked ember]

the real boss is called Any Radiance 3.0

[rose peak]

No???

[wicked ember]

what boss?

[rose peak]

Any rad is way harder

[stark marlin]

what boss again?

[brave kite]

hollow knight

[wicked ember]

ik bruh

[worn prism]

Soul tyrant

[rose peak]

https://tenor.com/view/im-fucking-pissed-hollow-knight-gif-20376292

[stark marlin]

I've prepped this for you:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CuCyyXRLwjXmj-4yxKPJ9iYEcoqv38Am/view?usp=sharing

[brave kite]

i'm excited to fight super hollow knight doomsday mode

[pliant bough]

impossible...

[rose peak]

I did it in tas so it is possible

[wicked ember]

should they create a game that let's us play as the Hollow Knight during his training and during the blackwyrm war/ battle?

@finite ember WHERE ARE U ?

[wicked ember]

I don't think it's him

[worn prism]

Finally beat soul tyrant
Literally 3 essence away from awoken dream nail

[royal dome]

My favorite boss

[wicked ember]

Niceee

[stark marlin]

was my help helpful?

[wicked ember]

what boss will u kill next?

[worn prism]

Yeah, thanks

[worn prism]

Taking out the final dreamer after I finish all the dream nail and true ending requirements

[stark marlin]

in general you could mostly sit in a spot and spam heals
but that's slower and requires not mistiming the heals too badly

[royal dome]

Which one? Let me guess, city of tears?

[knotty ravine]

This is nightmare ult

[worn prism]

How did you guess lmao

[wicked ember]

after DnM try Godseeker ending

[royal dome]

Bc it’s the hardest one by far 💔

[rose peak]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-zote-the-knight-gif-14177395

[stark marlin]

in true ending it's the hardest dreamer

[worn prism]

[royal dome]

Good luck, and keep an eye out for a secret right before the hard part, that’s all I’ll say

[wicked ember]

it's the first i do every run and for me the hardesth one is Herrah just bc she is in the other side of hollownest

[worn prism]

This is my second playthrough so I know it's watcher knights
It's been years though so I don't remember the patterns

[wicked ember]

the pattern is easy but the combos aren't

[worn prism]

Now where do I get exactly 3 essence from

[royal dome]

One of the dream tree thingies I don’t remember the name of

[worn prism]

Don't think there's any whispering roots left

Took out all dream bosses too

[wicked ember]

kill some npcs souls

[royal dome]

You must be missing something then

[wicked ember]

@worn prism how many essences u have?

[royal dome]

The game provides you with more than enough

[wicked ember]

yeah

[worn prism]

Prob cause I used dreamgate 3 times
So I'm 3 low

1797

[wicked ember]

nah it gives u like minimum 100 more than max

u did every dream boss?

markoth xero marmu gallien hu ?

no eyes

gorb

[worn prism]

Don't think I did gallien
Wheres he

[wicked ember]

deepnest

if i remember correctly

[worn prism]

😬

[pure valve]

3 types of shade lord art which one is the peakest gang

[wicked ember]

under some lifeblood thing

[worn prism]

Oh wait
I fought someone in deepnest
Must have been him

[wicked ember]

reddit one

[pure valve]

i like the one where theyre playing with grimmchild

[wicked ember]

that is the cutest

[brave kite]

i hope the ones on the right get killed with hammers

[worn prism]

May have missed marmu

[wicked trail]

I FREAKING LOVE FOTF

Saved my p5 run

[worn prism]

Yeah it's marmu
Haven't been to queen's garden on this save

[royal dome]

You should be able to get at least 2500 so definitely missing something

[pure valve]

but like female shade lord is funny and uhh shade lord playing with grimmchild is cute

[wicked ember]

have u fought lost kin, failed champ, tyrant , and white defender?

[royal dome]

And Zote and nkg

[tall jackal]

Dear ppl who have finished both games, I want your opinion whether Silksong or Hollow Knight has a better OST

[wicked trail]

hk

[worn prism]

All but white defender
Forgot he was in the game tbh

[royal dome]

City of tears carries

[tall jackal]

real

[royal dome]

Even nkg?

[worn prism]

Not him, but does he give essence?

[wicked ember]

like if u killed everyone u should have like 2700 essence

[royal dome]

I believe so

[wicked ember]

nope

[worn prism]

Couldn't beat him on my last playthrough

[royal dome]

Oh nvm then

[lunar spade]

Unrelated but encountering silk song spoilers is genuinely so annoying

Like I block the tag everywhere and it still manages to sneak up on me

[royal dome]

I intentionally avoided even the trailers, I didn’t even know who the protagonist was gonna be

[wicked ember]

i bought the game the 1st day and i 100% it 4 times already

[lunar spade]

I avoid it everywhere

But it still lingers

I have no idea what the game is about and I'd like to prefer it that way

[cerulean copper]

I refuse to be beaten by a guy named Dung Defender

[wicked ember]

do u have desolate dive?

[lunar spade]

The shit thrower is not coming towards me

[royal dome]

He’s not just some silly dude who likes dung, dw, no need to be embarrassed

[lunar spade]

In a million fucking years would I never want to fight the damn dung defender

[wicked trail]

What abt white defender

[worn prism]

Idk why I keep going past things this run
I had to go back to get the hunters journal and isma's tear this late into the game
Completely skipped queen's garden

[wicked ember]

lol

[cerulean copper]

I have all upgrades, the fails are just me not locking in

[wicked ember]

u now do marmu and u good with essence

[worn prism]

Then it's white palace platforming
Yay

[wicked ember]

what build u use?

[wicked ember]

use hiveblood

[royal dome]

The single hardest part of my one mask playthrough 💔

[wicked trail]

One mask would make me kms

[wicked ember]

gg

rad game lol

[royal dome]

It made me so much better at the game though, I would recommend it

[cerulean copper]

I got Mark of Strength and Longnail, that way i can keep my distanc. Unbreakable strength because strength, Steady Body, and Wayward Compass

I forgot to change Wayward Compass but i don't feel like treking back to a bench 😭

[royal dome]

Pretty much

[wicked trail]

Mop and longnail? Kinda overkill

[wicked ember]

fr fr

[wicked ember]

how many attempts?

[royal dome]

Well it wasn’t steel soul, I could still respawn, idk how many attempts

[supple mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-23195488

[wicked trail]

This would be my recommendation

[knotty ravine]

oh yeaaaa generally like do not run both mop and longnail at the same time, as it simply isn’t worth

[wicked ember]

k tmrw i will try on steel soul and try n get true ending

[cerulean copper]

White Defender is now down. Now i gotta search up the lore about the white shadows 😮

[knotty ravine]

You want to run one or the other

[royal dome]

There were a lot of notable areas of pain tho, like the palace, hollownest’s crown, watcher knights, and the path to the broken vessel

[wicked ember]

gg u need to look for them but u will encounter them all in a 112%

[wicked ember]

i cant remember if to sit on the throne u need a mod or it's in the normal game

[royal dome]

Vanilla

[wicked ember]

last time it didnt let me sit

[royal dome]

Weird

[wicked ember]

ik

yeah i unlocked the voice chat

[little blade]

I hate no eyes

[wicked ember]

yeah i hate her after rad

the spammy rng things are my worst enemy

[keen thorn]

You can only sit the first time you visit the room

[wicked ember]

ik this

[brazen mural]

what bug is Grimm

[bold nest]

Imo a cockroach

[pliant bough]

none

[bold nest]

Could be wrong though

[pliant bough]

it is

[wicked ember]

a Grimm

[dull dove]

hey gng

is it possible to get crystal heart without dash?

i have claw and vs/howling wraiths

[fresh dove]

no

[empty lynx]

It is

[fresh dove]

??? nuh uh

you have to dash on the ||obstacle course||

[pliant bough]

yes

[clever flame]

my guys

after a few weeks

of playing for around an hour

[empty lynx]

Ever watched any form of speedruns

[clever flame]

i finished p5

[empty lynx]

Actually i don't feel like explaining https://youtu.be/nePbHZzqFas?si=79EYsJotFylMJrNc

[dull dove]

is it hard?

[nocturne parrot]

Congrats bro !!!!!

[fresh dove]

eehh

oh shit it is possible mb

[empty lynx]

I mean you need to do a triple fireball skip at the start

[clever flame]

im beyond happy

for practice i tried doing absrad and pure vessel and i did both of them 1st try

[dull dove]

i can do that

[clever flame]

and figured why not

[dull dove]

thx a lot

[empty lynx]

Np twin

[dull dove]

big fan of skurry c:

[clever flame]

(i got my ass handed to me by lost kin with the mask bind on p4 which gave me flashbacks to when i got stuck on it for a week)

[nocturne parrot]

Yeah i understand you 😭 first time i managed to beat p5 i was shaking of hapiness

[clever flame]

ME TOO

112%, almost 55h

[nocturne parrot]

Yeah 53 seemed kinda short

[clever flame]

i may now continue playing silksong

[clever flame]

yeah

😭

[dull dove]

i dont think ive ever felt as much dopamine as p5ab abs rad climb

[nocturne parrot]

Do it bro it’s peak

[clever flame]

i heard my own heartbeat so loud

[nocturne parrot]

Better than hk for me

[clever flame]

i beat ||lace for the first time in that first area and then got my ass whooped by 2 random NPCs right after her||

[nocturne parrot]

Same it’s the hardest phase

[clever flame]

i asked my friends about their experience and they experienced the SAME thing

[clever flame]

i realized that i don't need to pogo on the other platform or on her

because im good enough to dodge things on the singular platform

and played the long game

[worn prism]

Got awoken dream nail and im now in white palace

[clever flame]

used excess soul for spells

[clever flame]

oh my god you reminded me that i didn't do path of pain

[mossy ravine]

Have fun in hell

[clever flame]

silksong is delayed, sorry guys

[worn prism]

I remember this path being somewhat painful

[mossy ravine]

Say that again? /j

https://tenor.com/view/say-that-again-gif-968943876633031890

[nocturne parrot]

I wish i knew that before 😭

[keen thorn]

That's not dopamine that's adrenaline
Dopamine is after killing AbsRad

[worn prism]

Hiveblood my goat
Carry me

[hollow nova]

I've never seen this strat

Beats pogoing

[fresh dove]

PEAK

[pliant bough]

its mid

[keen thorn]

It's the dash slash strat

Not wanna ew in his face because it's disrespectful
Sillyval don't open ||ew||

[pliant bough]

genio gets it

[hollow nova]

Its funny

Also looks fun

[keen thorn]

Imo it isn't, because it's just repeat the same pattern over and over

Not much thinking like pogo strats

Also it is very slow since it misses a lot

[tribal compass]

If it's dumb and works, its not dumb

[cerulean copper]

Ok all of a sudden this game turned to Super Meat Boy, because what do you mean sawblades are telepathically traveling now?!

[hollow nova]

Its not very engaging but sometimes doing something a silly way can be fun

But yeah

[tribal compass]

Platforms are also telepathically hanging in the air

something to sleep on

or dont, you might get infected

I wonder if Hallownest invented coffee then could they be safe from the infection?

[cerulean copper]

i am running on 2 mask and there are MORE sawblades 😭

[cerulean copper]

Mountain Dew would have more kick

[tribal compass]

or just find a way to prevent sleep, maybe do some hellraiser stuff

[tribal compass]

Hiveblood or (the worse version) deep focus and grub charn

[tribal compass]

I dont think mountain dew is stronger than coffee

but I may be too european to taste real mt dew

[cerulean copper]

oh i forgot hiveblood existed

[lunar spade]

the first people I meet at studio cherry that purposefully put pantheon 5 out of order is getting hit with the cancer ray

i died to grey prince zote

[cerulean copper]

Sawblades everywhere CANNOT be good for the infrastructure. What if the foundation is sliced?

[dull dove]

that’s actually incorrect partially

dopamine mostly releases when you’re in a situation where your brain goes: ‘i know what to do here and what rewards await me

source: trust me

[worn gull]

my friend is telling me ultrakill is better than hollow knight 😭 🙏

[tropic marten]

FRAUD

[sly mango]

Guys should i beat nkg or trial of the fool first

[trim schooner]

uh nkg sure why not

[worn prism]

Need help with a specific part of white palace

Can't send images but it's just straight forward with spears that go in and out

[cerulean copper]

i might can help i just got past that just now

[trim schooner]

don't get hit by them, makes white palace a lot less fustrating /j

[cerulean copper]

Use the dashes to get in between the gaps. You can stand still and dash on the first 2 segments. The 3rd you will have to move AND dash, then reposition quick

Positioning is key

[worn prism]

How do you even get past the first one gng there's like no window to dash in between it

[cerulean copper]

Ah, if i had screenshots i could show the exact alignment position 😕 but as soon as both up and down spikes retract, THATS the window to dash

[wicked trail]

P5 DONE

YES

[worn prism]

Wait im stupid
I see it now

[little blade]

Does it sound crazy that i find Pure vessel not even hard

[wicked trail]

Nah it's a lwk easy fight by the time you should be fighting it

[torpid silo]

js beat the path of pain in 20 mins. new recorddddd

actually i think it was more ike 18

[little blade]

I do P4 hitless in the Moment and i get every time in his last phase and then i f* king panic i could scream because of it

[wind violet]

You mean when he starts using void tenrils?

[little blade]

Yes

[vast bobcat]

It’s just a revamped Hollow Knight that deals double damage

[little blade]

I know

And he‘s faster

[wind violet]

More predictable tho

[little blade]

But I don’t know what happened but i have less struggle with P4 than with P3

[lost garnet]

https://tenor.com/view/jujutsu-kaisen-jjk-yuta-okkotsu-pose-gif-11426266631782289733

[little blade]

True

[wind violet]

Any tips for p5

[tropic marten]

This guy gets it

[tropic marten]

lifeblood bro, trust me youll need it, even the first tier is enough

[wind violet]

So do the pantheons with bindings?

[little blade]

Does Markoth really only need 6 abyss shrieks to kill him with Shaman stone

[tropic marten]

not all bindings, you can do them 1 by 1

[wind violet]

Sweet

[tropic marten]

do the first 2 pantheons since its the easiest

[trim schooner]

no what

[tropic marten]

lifeblood door not charm

[trim schooner]

imo by the time you're getting lifeblood you're good enough to have cleared p5 already

[trim schooner]

i know i feel its easier just to clear p5 atp though

even if you did them 1 by 1 it takes so long, although good practice so maybe its not that terrible of an idea

[worn prism]

White palace fragment obtained
PLEASE tell me the other one is easy to get

[wind violet]

One would think

[trim schooner]

yesn't

[wind violet]

So you know how one of the mantis lord thrones is broken…

[tropic marten]

True unless its only for the achievement not for skill

[wind violet]

Bingo

[clever flame]

i just finished path of pain (around an hour after i beat p5)

[trim schooner]

although i feel like 3 lifeblood won't make that much of a difference

[clever flame]

people were hyping that up so much to be this some greatest achievement ever in hollow knight

[wind violet]

Path of pain is enjoyable compared to p5

[summer bluff]

how?

[clever flame]

its enjoyable compared to sly for me

[clever flame]

sly

[trim schooner]

lol imo p5 is harder than pop

[clever flame]

infinitely harder, yeah

[little blade]

Don’t know it either

[trim schooner]

pretty sure p4 is easier

even without gpz its easier

[brave kite]

p5 is infinitely more difficult than path of pain gang

you can use hive charm and negate it

[clever flame]

yeah

(i died to the guards though because i forgot i had ass charms)

[summer bluff]

well p5 is all ascended right?

[brave kite]

no

[trim schooner]

ascecnded arenas, not ascended hp or ascended damage

[wind violet]

Minus double dmg

[little blade]

It is i did every Pantheon Hitless only P3 Not because of sly and on P4 i‘m working rn

[summer bluff]

oh interesting

[trim schooner]

minus extra hp too

[tropic marten]

Ascend? b pill reference?

[summer bluff]

gruz mother ascended arena 😢

[trim schooner]

yea (also 2/5 pantheons is not even close to every pantheon lol)

[little blade]

I am a bit scared of P5 hitless tbh

[summer bluff]

anyone done r5ab?

[trim schooner]

yeah lol gl with that

[trim schooner]

greyfire is going for it i believe

[summer bluff]

oof

[trim schooner]

i think she'll get it very soon she's cleared r5 like 15 times

[little blade]

Oh shit here we Go again

[trim schooner]

hitless pv is easy you got this

[clever flame]

i saw a reel of a kid impersonating hk mechanics

[summer bluff]

I would try p4 again but I got to do numerous tries on hog against watcher knights

[clever flame]

i've seen enough, give him pantheon 5

[wind violet]

If u think you’ll get hit just jump

Avoids 73% of attacks

[little blade]

Ok I‘m off for a moment to conzentrate

[summer bluff]

gl

[trim schooner]

what.

[trim schooner]

gl

hitless pv can be really difficult depending on what youre trying to do tho

[clever flame]

should i get all achievements for hollow knight and then continue silksong or should i finish silksong and then return for achievements

[summer bluff]

how far in silksong are you

[clever flame]

i find nail only to be realy good against pv

[trim schooner]

like id still die to rad pv going for shrieks during pillars

[clever flame]

beat ||lace for the first time||

[trim schooner]

yeah but thats boring

[clever flame]

not far

[summer bluff]

I'd continue silksong tbh

[clever flame]

i find it thrilling

[wind violet]

Silksong gets really good pretty soon…

[clever flame]

i believe you

[trim schooner]

yeah but in nail only you play so safe its very uninteresting

[summer bluff]

I'm stuck at the end

[clever flame]

i'll do it tomorrow

[clever flame]

fair ig

[wind violet]

Lowkey I play nail only like always

[tropic nest]

god

[wind violet]

Maybe that’s why p5 is taking so long…

[clever flame]

bro ||some normal enemies do 2 hearts 💔 ||

[summer bluff]

whoa is that a mod?

[trim schooner]

gl

[summer bluff]

pretty normal

[trim schooner]

no its p5ab

[little blade]

I hate these spikes man I do a D Dark on him he no and a spike spawns under me if he hadn’t done that i would got him

[summer bluff]

oh

[clever flame]

wrong reaction

[summer bluff]

just click it again

[trim schooner]

what spikes

pillars?

[summer bluff]

you can take reactions off

[clever flame]

similar to nkg spikes

[little blade]

His ground attack

[clever flame]

i did

[summer bluff]

ok

[trim schooner]

which one hes on the ground for like all of them

[clever flame]

i switched it instead of a pregnant man to sob

[brave kite]

you have venom's healing factor in silksong

[summer bluff]

lmao

[wind violet]

Ok guys gonna go do a few pantheons with bindings to get lifeblood

[little blade]

Where he jumps and slams his nail in the ground

[trim schooner]

o yeah lining up shriek on that isn't easy

[summer bluff]

nice I just finished each binding today on p1

[wind violet]

Nice

[trim schooner]

i think its mainly because when you shriek you feel the need to get it off as early as possible, at least thats the case for me

[little blade]

Yes

[pallid oasis]

Hey guys

[trim schooner]

just go for like a nail swing or two then shriek so you don't rush it

because upslashing is very consistent but shriek does more damage

[summer bluff]

i might practice hog charmless so I can do the bindings easier when I actually do it on p2

[little blade]

But i‘m determined i get him in the next 20-40min for sure if not i go to bed and do him tomorrow after Work

[pallid oasis]

Replaying hollow knight

Is there an easier way to navigate the pizza cutter habitat?

[trim schooner]

you got this

[quasi forge]

The what now

[tropic nest]

ADJ
focus hit me after they were dead im so mmm

[trim schooner]

rip

this is why i don't do p5ab its boring af

[pallid oasis]

White palace

[little blade]

Is it a good idea to play the bosses with no sound to concentrate better?

[trim schooner]

no music maybe def not without sound

[little blade]

Ok

[trim schooner]

imo none of the vanilla bosses are hard enough to warrant turning off music

[summer bluff]

I like soul warrior music

ngl

even though he is easy

[tropic nest]

idk about no sound but i pause external music for markoth specifically to hear the nails spawning

[summer bluff]

opinion on rad xero?

[little blade]

For me music is disturbing me

[twilit ivy]

how do i get damage on sly when hes in phase 2

[summer bluff]

ascended xero is aggravating me

[summer bluff]

keep distance and then hit when he stops

[little blade]

Nail arts or good timed nail hits

[tropic nest]

YES

[worn prism]

And now I keep losing to traitor lord
Great

[brave kite]

as soon as he stops spinning he gives you a window to hit him

[little blade]

But it is a really small and short one so just be patient when you don’t get a hit on him and stay focused where he goes

[quasi forge]

or just use nail arts

[little blade]

Yes

[coral marlin]

Y'know I say AbsRad is a good boss, and then I just get irrationally angry at it

Then again, I get irrationally angry at anything that kills me in one hit over and over, so I have no right complaining

If I could remove a single attack from her moveset, it would either be the balls of light or the moving light pillar

[coral marlin]

Thanks Discord
Love not being able to watch the video

[torn sage]

Hi

[copper spruce]

Ok

[quasi forge]

damn ggs

[coral marlin]

Beat Radiant Radiance for the uhhh

fuckin like, 5th time now? 6th?

I'm really outta practice

[worn prism]

I think there was a dude helping me fight the mantis traitor the first time I played

[coral marlin]

That climb is easily the 2nd worst part

[worn prism]

Unless I remember wrong

[coral marlin]

Traitor Lord

[quasi forge]

yep, cloth

[worn prism]

Yeah

Didn't she also die in that fight

[tropic nest]

she and yes

[finite ember]

WRONG IMG.

[worn prism]

Alr where can I find her
She'll pay for my lack of skill and need for assistance with her life 😔

[coral marlin]

I beat Ascended NKG, got clipped by one of his fireballs. Just a few seconds from getting the badge, it reset

But it's NKG, not too hard to get him again

Just hit a funny clip on the bitch lol

[twin raven]

Guys I have good news

I got a girls number for the first time in my life

[coral marlin]

Pog

[little blade]

Wish me luck on PV again

[noble ruin]

Really? Do you know the safe Strat?

[coral marlin]

Does that entail wall jumping off the platforms to potentially avoid the tracking or is there something else entirely?

[noble ruin]

Uh no wall jumping is very unsafe

Cause it locks you into a set movement path for a second

[coral marlin]

Not in my experience, but continue

[pallid mist]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1344768779112153139/1476348148401176596/togif.gif

[noble ruin]

Safest start is to jump when the beam telegraph appears and then double jump when it fires

That way you just have to move left or right to avoid it if it's on you and you can stall in the air with wings if the telegraph is on the platform you're jumping to

[coral marlin]

As a speedrunner (aka, impatient and stupid), I am going to take that into account... and probably immediately forget it.

But thank you for the info

[hasty helm]

@coral marlin

[quasi forge]

hi genio

[coral marlin]

Yeah I think you missed a spoiler in that message

[twilit ivy]

fuck godhome uumuu

[coral marlin]

Also, the advice wall honestly doesn't change much in my strategy. Kinda encapsulates most of what I've been doing

[quasi forge]

shade soul makes it free

[coral marlin]

Aside from the classic ADHD in me saying "HOLY SHIT THERE'S A LINE ON ME, WHAT DO I DO"

[pearl frost]

So theoretically can i beat radiance in under a minute if i shriek in her face enough?

[tropic nest]

yes

[coral marlin]

Kinda the reason why the ground spikes PV and NKG use get me more often than they should

[coral marlin]

I've done it with only the nail, so you can definitely do that

[pearl frost]

is seeing the void part on the floor a good thing cuz first time fighting radiance s donno what phase of hers is that

[tropic nest]

its

• 1. ground/start
• 2. spike floors
• 3. sword rain
• 4. platforms
• 5. climb

[pearl frost]

got upto sword rain on 4th attempt i think

[obtuse brook]

I believe you will understand these images without any context

[summer bluff]

is speedrunning pantheons a thing?

[tropic nest]

yes

[summer bluff]

i just got like 7:39 on p1 but might be slow

But what if it could get even faster..

[summer bluff]

I dont doubt it

[limpid linden]

My oc was low-key inspired by the hollow knight what

[hollow nova]

anyone know how many iframes thorns of agony has after the animation

[limpid linden]

Mods, paint his toilet pink

[brittle ore]

Mods, make him fight GPZ 10 times

[hollow nova]

GPZ is literally the most fair and fun fight in the game

[pure valve]

whats the craziest thing you've seen a new player do guys

[brittle ore]

https://tenor.com/view/knuckles-gif-26722749

[pure valve]

for me it was when my friend sent me her inventory and she had lantern and FUCKING DREAM NAIL before getting dash

[hollow nova]

I did that once you have to grind geo for like 20 minutes

ig False Knight and Massive Moss Charger give you a bunch

[brittle ore]

How would that even happen you kind of need dash to get climb and then have a feasible way to dream nail

[hollow nova]

not MMC you need dash for that

[brittle ore]

Did your friend like do advanced blue lake shade skip 💔

[hollow nova]

Once you get Lantern you can head over to Crystal Peak and drop down to Resting Grounds from there

[brittle ore]

But the room to the drop is dark tho

[hollow nova]

That's why you get lantern

[brittle ore]

and hard to navigate without dash, no?

[hollow nova]

Its harder but nothing requires it

[brittle ore]

True sorry my brain is like lagging

[keen thorn]

Well, shade gates

[hollow nova]

Anyway this is why False Knight and Hornet 1 have dream nail dialogue

[hollow nova]

In Crystal Peak?

[keen thorn]

Ah peaks lol

[brittle ore]

Not in godhome :clueless:

[keen thorn]

Hornet has different dialogue in gh

[hollow nova]

Man why did TC even add this connection to Crystal Peak

It is pretty cool tbf

[brittle ore]

Do you haunt my dreams..? Or I yours..?

[brave kite]

i was crazy once

[hollow nova]

gg

[wild sierra]

Are u trapped in a room?

[brittle ore]

Is it perhaps filled with rats

[brave kite]

and then i beat radiant absrad with all bindings

[brittle ore]

TC really thought they were cooking detailing her as "Radiance" in the HoG catalogue

and then you take the fight

"ABSOLUTE RADIANCE"

Guess we're gonna fight the

moon

Aand I died

welp

A little careless with that one

[limpid linden]

What is the worst runback according to yall

[brittle ore]

in HK?

Probably maybe the colosseum

or collector

they're not necessarily bad, just take a while to get to

Nosk also kind of sucks

[brittle ore]

What are you fighting, bro?

Your inner demons?

[wind garnet]

classic @verbal pasture

its a stagger bug iirc

[verbal pasture]

Happens if you stagger him as he does his nail slam attack

The hitbox of the nail is just attached to him now

[wind garnet]

that is very stupid

[verbal pasture]

Until you stagger him again then it disappears

[wicked trail]

Any idea why all the hk steam achievements are 0.0% rn?

[unkempt parrot]

[clear trellis]

hey i was planning to get a casual gaming laptop and cant decide to get hk, silksong, or both?

[wicked trail]

What?

[clear trellis]

just wanted an opinion

[wicked trail]

Do you play on console rn?

[clear trellis]

used to

i do like using controller and plan to get one too

[grizzled egret]

Beat P3 yesterday attempting to beat P4 today

ok lemme just pull money outta the shadow realm

[wicked trail]

I'm not a discord nerd how the heck did you do that

[carmine lava]

are you telling me they removed one of the stagger bugs but not both of them...

[prisma comet]

wait im broke ig i gotta wait till christmas or smth

[eternal nexus]

on desktop you use @time

[wicked trail]

That's like a year do you not have a job?

[prisma comet]

uhh im under 18

[wicked trail]

You can get jobs before you're 18 I fear

[prisma comet]

lol but im under 16 too

[wicked trail]

Where ish are you from if you dont mind

[prisma comet]

uh the us (sadly)

[wicked trail]

Got it ty

[wicked trail]

So you can get jobs at 14 no?

[prisma comet]

well im 13 and dont have allowance

[tropic nest]

16 in my state

[prisma comet]

🙁

[wicked trail]

Ah damn really?

That's when people start getting their full drivers license where I'm from

[prisma comet]

ok bye gotta go touch grass

[tropic nest]

oh apparently it is 14
doesnt really make a difference, youd still need a drivers license to do anything

[wicked trail]

How come? Could most people not either walk or have parents to drive them?

For a part time at least

[tropic nest]

walking is not an option whatsoever here
someone else driving is possible but that would be a lot of effort (especially with school as well)

[wicked trail]

Hmmm fair yeah

I guess I had the privilege of biking to my jobs at 14 beacause I'm from a smaller town

[stiff loom]

idk how to even bike

[worn prism]

Just defeated troupe leader grimm
Fun fight

First try was unexpected

[stiff loom]

now try nkg

[worn prism]

...

About that

[pearl frost]

question, how do i spam abyssal shriek without jumping high, like a one tap spacebar then use the hotkey for shriek?

[tropic nest]

wdym without jumping high
jumping isnt necessary to use shriek

[stiff loom]

u even need to jump

dont*

[tulip narwhal]

Hi fox

[copper spruce]

What

[zealous skiff]

Hi fox hi floggy

[vestal sapphire]

is it possible to become so good at manipulating soul and casting spells that you can just drag the soul out of someone's body, instantly killing them

[storm bolt]

that's prolly how soul sanctum scholars kill their victims

[vestal sapphire]

so why can't the knight do it

since they're even better at using soul

[worn prism]

It's nkg time
Couldn't beat him on my previous run

[storm bolt]

the soul sanctum bugs and soul master himself has some kind of gem crystal on their forehead, allowing them to manipulate and "focus" souls

[worn prism]

I have the channeled nail so it'll be even worse this time 👍

[storm bolt]

the knight doesnt have this

[paper seal]

I don't think that's stated anywhere

[vestal sapphire]

they're the child of two pales, and pale beings are defined by their mastery over soul

[paper seal]

besides I think the most complex thing they do with soul is heal

[vestal sapphire]

but if they can drag soul out of living bugs, why can't the knight do it
the knight should be even better at using soul

[worn prism]

He deadass killed me before I could get a hit off
Wow
I suck ass

[storm bolt]

pale king opposed soul master for studying and manipulating souls

[paper seal]

were they? I don;t think that was said anywhere

they're very good at dominating other bugs I know that much

[storm bolt]

again, it's not confirmed anywhere that the knight is better at using soul

[vestal sapphire]

ok so the knight is bad at using soul

[storm bolt]

nope

its really good at using soul

[paper seal]

that's how most people start but he's very readable you'll get used to him soon

[stiff loom]

YYESS

I BEAT PV

YESSSSSS

[storm bolt]

ggs

[stiff loom]

SCREW TS V HEAD AHH MF WDJOWJDO

[worn prism]

He also 3 shots me

[vestal sapphire]

but not as good as soul master?

[tardy hornet]

what y’all talking abt

[paper seal]

pure vessel?

[storm bolt]

it's not confimed anywhere

[stiff loom]

yes on hall of bosses tho not p4 so fuck it still remains

[vernal knot]

TK can Focus properly

That's a very big feat imo

[paper seal]

I'm still working on it but I'm noticing it kinda has the nkg thing where it's very readable

[tardy hornet]

y’all still play hk, or moved on to sk

[stiff loom]

readable but have to be consistent

[vernal knot]

Both

[storm bolt]

nkg are pv are just unskippable cutscenes once you master them tbh

[tardy hornet]

ight

[inner stump]

sometimes i do trial of the fool

[vernal knot]

I mean I've finished both but I re-play them every so often

[tropic nest]

still hk, godhome slop and randos
sk sometimes

[tardy hornet]

same

i’m still stuck on p4🥀

[vernal knot]

Hey te

I take it P5AB is going well?

[tropic nest]

done

[stiff loom]

ill play sk when im done with p4 for 112% then ill move to sk and prolly play it while i do all bosses radiant and p5

[vernal knot]

Congratulations

[paper seal]

still on the final boss of silksong but I'm taking a break to get all the achievements for hollow knight

[tardy hornet]

but i beat hk, now i’m in act 3 in silksong

[vernal knot]

Do you have the video

[inner stump]

revisiting hollow knight makes my heart hurt with nostalgia, it's just so much more mechanholy, peaceful, pitiful and dead. even though in the end both kingdoms are saved and a better future is carved for their citizens hollow knight feels so much more sad

[storm bolt]

im still struggling with p5ab

[stiff loom]

without spoiling can u guys tell me what an act is

[vernal knot]

Eh, I dunno if Hallownest has a good future ahead

Half of the endings are bad

[tropic nest]

fortunately i was recording

[tardy hornet]

can’t even explain😭

[vernal knot]

Are you gonna upload it to youtube

[storm bolt]

basically big parts of the game

[tardy hornet]

can y’all tell me if lost garamond is hard (only if u beat him)

[vernal knot]

No Silksong here

[tardy hornet]

o right

[vernal knot]

#sk-discussion or #hk-general

[tardy hornet]

mb

[storm bolt]

no skong here

[stiff loom]

Is it all in a single save file or categories like cod

[tropic nest]

maybe
i was playing terribly though so maybe not

[vernal knot]

Playing terrible and still did it

[vestal sapphire]

logically, should void heart give the knight control over pure vessel

[tropic nest]

that hornet 1 and gruz mother were embarrassing
absrad was good though

[vernal knot]

So what next in your career Te

[vernal knot]

Maybe, it is just a memory though so that could affect it

[tropic nest]

f5 probably

[vernal knot]

Not like Void Beings can't defy TK if they feel like it

It's a bit messy

[vestal sapphire]

should void heart also give the knight control over the collector

[vernal knot]

It should yeah

[vernal knot]

That's Fury P5 right?

[tropic nest]

fury r5 but ig those are the same

[vernal knot]

Oh that's cool

Good luck te

[plush juniper]

day 1 p4 end of day update:
7 runs made it past white defender, 1 died to soul tyrant which is now my pb

[stiff loom]

its a dream

[vernal knot]

Should still apply I think

[stiff loom]

pv also had control of its void

[vernal knot]

It's attunement after all

[vernal knot]

Well yeah because it's imprinted

[vestal sapphire]

i can get it with the hollow knight because thk is infected, and the infection is overriding the void

[vernal knot]

I can also control my body

[tall flare]

sorry for the off-topic comment, but i would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me w hk in #hk-help

[tropic nest]

one more run surely
gl

[vestal sapphire]

but the collector should be floored instantly

[vernal knot]

Eh I'd argue TK could still control THK if it really wanted to

[foggy sable]

yay

[vestal sapphire]

but then why can't it

[vernal knot]

But again, control over void beings apparently can be fishy

[vernal knot]

I dunno', same question as to why does Collector just go "Nuh uh"

[stiff loom]

cuz its infected by radiance

[vernal knot]

It's confusing

[vestal sapphire]

weird plot hole

[paper seal]

the whole unifying the void thing is really weirdly defined

[vernal knot]

I mean it's not like TC could just delete a whole boss due to you having Voidheart

It makes sense from a game sense as to the why collector ignores it

But lorewise it creates an odd plothole

[tropic skiff]

Charm: Void Heart

An emptiness that was hidden within, now unconstrained. Unifies the void under the bearer's will.

This charm is a part of its bearer and can not be unequipped.

@megathekindly used /charms category: L-W charm: Void Heart

[vernal knot]

So that was a fucking lie

[stiff loom]

i mean the collector isnt a pale being unlike lil ghost and we dont know how it was made, we just know they used void

[paper seal]

it could be interpreted as like

[vestal sapphire]

does white palace get closed off once you get kingsoul

[vernal knot]

Why is it not being a pale being relevant

[paper seal]

unifying lands to form one kingdom

[stiff loom]

cuz it aint one

[vernal knot]

Ye

I mean I dunno' if i'd call TK a Pale being even

[stiff loom]

nah but the kings body vanishes

[vernal knot]

The body the shade uses is one of a Pale Being, but the Vessel itself I dunno'

I wouldn't even consider Vessels higher beings, with the exception of TK with voidheart

[stiff loom]

dead pale being

[vernal knot]

The body is, shade I dunno'

If being a void being imprinted by the will of a pale being makes you a pale being, Kingsmoulds should count

[gray rivet]

Hi floggy

[stiff loom]

whats the difference between the body and shade i still dont get it

[vestal sapphire]

if you get void heart and go back to white palace, do the kingsmoulds still attack you

[gray rivet]

Hi chomp

[vernal knot]

The body is from the original children, The shade is imprinted void by the will of the original children

[stiff loom]

its a pale being offspring

[vernal knot]

The body is

[tired lichen]

Just died to pure vessel p5

[vernal knot]

Or atleast belonged to one

Until it died.

Vessels aren't proper chilren of PK and WL, is my take

The original children died, and imprinted void with their will

The imprinted void then became Shades, and said shades grabbed the now empty bodies of the Original Children to use as a shell

Which is why I personally don't consider Vessels higher beings

That's just my take though

[tropic nest]

rip

[vernal knot]

te what was the hardest boss in P5AB

[tropic nest]

mm absrad was the biggest wall by far but that was mostly mental (first run past plats was the clear)
actual difficulty wise either collector or zote but they didnt take very long

[vernal knot]

I see

[vestal sapphire]

are these guys like
actually real and still alive

[vernal knot]

Thanks

[vernal knot]

Probably not? I Mean they seem like memories

[paper seal]

I think it's like

[vestal sapphire]

but the white palace is meant to be a "real" dream realm

[vernal knot]

Yeah but it wouldn't really make sense for normal bugs to be alive at that point

They'd be just dust or sum

[paper seal]

in the real world they're dead but they'rekept conscious by the dream realm

[vestal sapphire]

also is that meant to be white lady growing in the background

[zinc delta]

hk disc i tried freezing a grape

[vernal knot]

Maybe

[tropic nest]

did it work

[vernal knot]

Seems more like just roots, I dunno'

[zinc delta]

i'm waiting bc i just started it

[vernal knot]

PK got really weird once the Palace was in the dream realm

[paper seal]

I think it's meant to represent her influence on the pale king

[vestal sapphire]

but she's in queen's gardens so

[paper seal]

it's a dream world after all

[vernal knot]

It's meant to represent maybe

The same way GS creates representantions of WL, Unn and White Palace

[vestal sapphire]

did the pale king ask white lady to join him when he moved his palace to the dream realm

[vernal knot]

We dunno'

Probavly not

[paper seal]

I think she rooted herself out of guilt before that

[zinc delta]

i'm freezing a grape for more crunch

[vestal sapphire]

is this divorce

[vernal knot]

WL still clearly loves him

[zinc delta]

yes i showered it beforehand

[vestal sapphire]

but if he didn't even bother to ask her to join him then

[vernal knot]

So unless PK's grief was enough to make him get a divorce out of guilt, I think they are still married

[tropic nest]

i cant read that as anything other than great slash what is gs

[vernal knot]

I mean both of their exiles are pretty different in nature

[vernal knot]

Godseeker

Te you need to get into the lore

Join us.

[tropic nest]

500 hours of godhome slop

[vernal knot]

Challenge runners

[paper seal]

I think it;s implied they separated in some way other than physical because of the kingsoul charm being fragmented

[vernal knot]

It may be just because distance

Or because PK is dead

I dunno' I think it can be interpreted in handful of ways other than divorce

[foggy sable]

no lore only godhome

[vernal knot]

Gr

[zinc delta]

dame un gr

[vernal knot]

No

[zinc delta]

wtf am i saying

[vernal knot]

I don't have Gray at hand

Only Grey and Platinum

[keen thorn]

Dev here, Hollow Knight has no lore

[paper seal]

all of your theories are wrong. goodbye

[zinc delta]

dev here
send 500 messages to send messages

very good update

[keen thorn]

You guys didn't believe me

[paper seal]

hey guys its me ari gibson we don't know how the radiance infection started the bugs just did that

[zinc delta]

i've been playing a lot of bss today

[strong skiff]

For a second i though the dev actually typed here

[vestal sapphire]

is it possible to get killed by a kingsmould after getting void heart

[strong skiff]

For the next second i thought you pinged him

[vestal sapphire]

there's two in path of pain right

[paper seal]

yes

[tropic nest]

yes

[strong skiff]

Then i saw the reallity

[keen thorn]

I should

[zinc delta]

Dev here, Only Genius believes Hollow Knight has no lore. In reality, Hollow Knight is all lore

I will say im starting to learn nkg's patterns but the uppercut always gets me

[paper seal]

you got this

[vernal knot]

I personally like to pogo the uppercut

[storm bolt]

i like to parry the uppercut

[cunning gorge]

tank it

[vernal knot]

That's lame

[zinc delta]

i like to dodge the uppercut

who got the 4th element of uppercut?

[cunning gorge]

i like to spam ddark

[zinc delta]

oh yeah pogo was there but that's technically parry so i'll use ddark

[worn prism]

I've also realized you genuinely just can't heal during this fight

[vernal knot]

Just Sharp Shadow through the uppercut

[keen thorn]

You can just walk

[vernal knot]

You can

[keen thorn]

It's legit free
Walk and 2 slashes

[tropic nest]

theres a bunch of healing windows im too lazy to get the vid

[vernal knot]

Genius your good at Hollow Knight right?

[tropic nest]

Yes

[zinc delta]

that's basically dodging bc i never said in what way

[keen thorn]

I would say that

[vernal knot]

Do you have a recorded fight against NKG to show us how to fight

We're all very bad here

[cunning gorge]

do you have to hit grimm during the stagger

[zinc delta]

face tank

[cunning gorge]

i just heal when it happens is that bad to do

[vernal knot]

Not if you feel like it

[paper seal]

no

I think there's a damage cap anyway

so it isn;t really worth it

[keen thorn]

I'm in ultra battery saver because I have 1% and must wait 20 more minutes to get home
But in my bio it's my channel and there I have R04 (in the R04 playlist)
I also have a 2 year old playlist of NKG challenges
Also all my P5 videos ig

[vernal knot]

Oof

Alright Genius, good luck

[worn prism]

I don't even have sharp shadow and I dont feel like going to depnest

[vernal knot]

Hopefully you won't suddenly disappear amid conversation

[tropic nest]

r04 nkg sounds so boring

[cunning gorge]

amateur

[paper seal]

sharp shadow my beloved

[keen thorn]

It is

It took me like 10 attempts because I needed ways to kill boredom

[keen thorn]

I probably will

[vernal knot]

What are the chances

[keen thorn]

I (usually) get a 30 second warning by my phone

But sometimes he's mean and doesn't tell me so

[worn prism]

Why is there a video on this specifically 😭

[zinc delta]
