https://tenor.com/view/rip-bozo-gif-22294771

[cerulean sable]

what the fuck is the deal with healthbars

and what are the arguements for it

for example

[radiant sluice]

Imagine talking about ss in this channel

[cerulean sable]

HK is open as fuck, that means you are bound to encounter different enemies and what not

[rancid vector]

bathroom irradiated

@flat remnant

[hot rampart]

no you didn't

[cerulean sable]

fuk youj water i fucking cast Megidolaon + Tyrants Mind + Almight Amp + Almight Boost on your ass

[flat remnant]

yes i gaslit everyone

[hot rampart]

i was voted out

[rancid vector]

rekt

you have murder vibes

[tall juniper]

i think it's better without healthbars, as the fights get so chaotic you cant see it. unless you want full on Dark souls hp bars

[cerulean sable]

the other aspect is

[balmy socket]

[cerulean sable]

probably adding more visual indicators

the thing is thats more work

so instead they employ phase 2 attacks or some shit

[rancid vector]

https://tenor.com/view/kizumonogatari-anime-crows-birds-murder-of-crows-gif-12099204

MURRRDERRRRRRR

[cerulean sable]

but you also go into this state of, should bosses always have 2 phases

is 3 phases going against the trend that might lead to some false security or assurance to the player

etc

[rancid vector]

i wonder when groups of crows started getting called murders

and why

[tall juniper]

theres a reason you never see a group of crows with a living human

[patent aspen]

sklikong...

[cerulean sable]

it is a common complaint that HK should have health bars but the opposite side is that it adds some psychology to it true

[hot rampart]

My guess is that ravens and such would hover around dead bodies when they were naming crow swarms, and so they would say "ope, must be a murder" or something like that and eventually it caught on

[frigid karma]

Crows go to dead bodies, which are commonly fpund at murder sites

[cerulean sable]

the latter being that people learns how to play better with no healthbars / immersion reasons
tho the latter usually gets countered

[hot rampart]

wow im smart holy shit

[rancid vector]

probably not far off

[cerulean sable]

this is highly theoretical but another aspect is if Silksong does not have damage boosting stuff like the nailsmith in the first game

[rancid vector]

same with @frigid karma

both presumptions are sound

[cerulean sable]

they would be able to keep all health across the game uniform but comes with the issue that goes against the entire "get stronger to the point you are destroying early game enemies" aspect without an upgrade system

[tall juniper]

i do want to see upgradeable needles

[cerulean sable]

yeah thats the thing

[tall juniper]

Silken needle....

[cunning geode]

potentially this

[rancid vector]

i want upgradeable tools

[cerulean sable]

they already said they would

[hot rampart]

oh, cool

[cerulean sable]

in the magazine afaik

tools are something you can upgrade

[rancid vector]

wow

this game is gonna be huge.

[cerulean sable]

thats a big issue for me tbh

[rancid vector]

not for me

[hot rampart]

omg wait

[rancid vector]

the world needs a 100+ hr metroidvania

[hot rampart]

are we finally talking about tools

[cerulean sable]

if TC goes apeshit with the offensive tools or the upgrades, you end up having a lot of clutter with overlaps

[rancid vector]

it's not nice to call people tools

[cerulean sable]

at the end people will settle for a meta item anyway

so all that work on all the other tools would be well, for nothing

[uneven vault]

the true meta is the friends we made along the way

[hot rampart]

i trust TC game design

[tall juniper]

the pin and tri-pin seems like an upgrade.
what if they made it so there isnt replacements but additions and upgrades to weapons you have. think doom 2016 and eternal

[flat remnant]

ty zip

[rancid vector]

same re game design, i doubt they wouldnt do great balancing

[frigid karma]

Honestly upgradeing tool might not be that great for me sonce it gets rid of the versitility of the charm system which was so great bc ypu cpuld juat change ypur build whenever

[rancid vector]

i mean i was looking at the design for radiance boss

and people noticed tiers in radiance's attacks

[tall juniper]

guys give me a game for ChatGPT to describe in emojis

[rancid vector]

and noticed that the tier of a given attack affects the likelihood of the next attack

like, the sequential order

[shell yacht]

upgradeable tools do irk me a bit. bad example but destiny has this newish thing called deepsight. reveal hidden puzzles, but deepsight has lvl. its hard enough remembering secret spots ive done, i dont wanna revisit everything bc i cant recall if i did all the t2 when i hit t3

[languid linden]

Ori

[wary imp]

Roblox

[rancid vector]

and specifically the likelihood of burst attacks

it's pretty crazy how in-depth that one boss fight's design is

[tall juniper]

im doing ori 2 becuse i like it

[cerulean sable]

also i personally disagree, the only time i usually push through 100 hour games is if theres a narrative that i can visibly see moving, well we dont know for SS yet but the magazine implies you can play the game without giving a shit about the lore or dialogue

theres on so much content to the point it becomes padding, which is why i think 30+ hours is a good enough metric for a regular non 100% playthrough, and even thats pushing it

[wary imp]

Roblox was the first thing to come to mind

Ori is much better

[cerulean sable]

id rather have a meaningful 20 hour than a 60 i spent doing nothing and farming a single thing unless i am really in the grinding mood

[rancid vector]

well when i say 100+ hr, i mean 60 hr to complete main story 100+ to 100% it

[frigid karma]

Like in elden ring, halfway through i wanted to switch to other weapons and try new stuff byt i couldn't bc all the other weapons were too underleveled for me to have fun with. Not an issue with the charm system where i could just plug in different charms and have new playstyles on the go

[tall juniper]

Yrue...

[uneven vault]

bro why i never get imposter

[cerulean sable]

thats fair though HK's 30+ extra end hours came from Godhome grinding for me

those i dont mind

[languid linden]

Now do bloodborne

[cerulean sable]

because its optional grindeable content for those who really liked the combat

[rancid vector]

well we have sidequests now mmmmm mmm

[shell yacht]

thats all soulsgames, buildcrafting cant just be undone

[rancid vector]

im so excited lolllllllllll

[cerulean sable]

worst postgame grind ever

[tall juniper]

"day night cycle"
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

[cerulean sable]

Also Elden Ring is a major example of it, yeah theres tons of "content" and areas but i enjoyed the game more when i ignored them since theyre structurally the same and they often give items i wont even use

[marsh ibex]

literally what the fuck

[tall juniper]

yeah TC's game design philosophy is goated

[rancid vector]

elden ring i did not enjoy at all honestly

[tall juniper]

not too much of a grind

[rancid vector]

it's just a miserable game

[cerulean sable]

HK actually does get criticized sometimes for being too long'

[wary imp]

Hk and tunic have some of the best game progression I've ever seen

[tall juniper]

i say it isnt

[rancid vector]

i loved every second i got out of new, unique hk content

[cerulean sable]

but i think it usually boils down to:
boss traversal
early game

some people also point out pacing

[wary imp]

Hk is hk, but tunic is just incredible

[frigid karma]

Exactly. It's one of the things that irks me the most in souls games. Like i understand not being able to take back levels, you should have to commit to a build in spuls games, but at least let me try thr other possible weapons in my build y'know

[rancid vector]

tunic and hk are both incredible

btw a quick aside

i cannot believe how from soft seemingly concurrently developed elden ring and armored core 6

[cerulean sable]

HK criticisms is usually:

1. Early Game
2. Boss Run back
3. Difficulty
4. Map System
5. Checkpoints

i think 3 and 4 are a bit subjective but 1 and 2 is the most common

[rancid vector]

pretty damn impressive regarding their polar opposite aesthetics

[frigid karma]

And seikiro too

[rancid vector]

yeah wow

[cerulean sable]

my only issue is you have 20+ tools it would be a nightmare to balance them, eventually you reach the point of (why bother using this then?)

[rancid vector]

they really are an amazing game development company

[wary imp]

Early game can be easily solved tho with looking up where to go

[cerulean sable]

having to check where to go on your first playthrough is bad imo

[marsh ibex]

that goes against the point of the game

[wary imp]

Ig, but if you really want to complain online about it just look it up

[rancid vector]

i mean, we had a lot of charms in hk

they balanced those

[wary imp]

I stuck through and eventually figured out where to go in hk

[rancid vector]

tools are the new charms but even more involved

[cerulean sable]

the early game more or less has an issue because of how monotonous crossroad feels and your literal movement is only jump and pogo

[hot rampart]

When i first played hk it took me like 2 hours to find my way out of forgotten crossroads

[frigid karma]

Yeah but that applies to everything in games. Like of course it's gonna be easier when you look uo a walkthrough

[cerulean sable]

HK Charms are not balanced

at all

[hot rampart]

and even looking it up didn't help

[rancid vector]

well they are fun

they are fun

[cerulean sable]

HK Charms suffers the issue where the rest feels like theyre added for the sake of being added

Notch costing is so fucked because not all 3 slot charms are equal power wise

[wary imp]

Once you get claw everything flows much smoother

Before that it is really slow

[rancid vector]

i think i looked one thing up when playing hollow knight

[frigid karma]

Hk only really starts once you have the dash and the claw in my opinion

[rancid vector]

it was when the bank disappeared. i was like YO WTF

[cerulean sable]

i think they couldve broaden it by normalizing it and adding more notches, then increasing the charm slots

for a 3 notcher, Quick Slash is more than just 3 notch worth when you compared it to the other along its tier

[rancid vector]

good times good times

[wary imp]

I still go back to beat her up

[cerulean sable]

even then, around 40-60% of HK's charm ends up being underutilized in favor of pure % damage increases or movement abilities

the others are super niche to use

[rancid vector]

i mean i have noticed that everyone has their preferences re: charms

i always go longnail and the other nail extension

i love having a long nail yo

[wary imp]

I've always used quick slash

[cerulean sable]

preferences being always Quick Slash, Shaman Stone, Mark of Pride and Unbreakable Strength

[wary imp]

It's a w charm

[rancid vector]

i never use quick slash all that often

there was a time where i was using the smelly enhancement cloak and the bee knight one

lots of people use the smelly cloak and the maggot charm thing for the spell

[wary imp]

I also use sharp shadow cause I can dash through enemies while they're attacking to attack them from the other side

[frigid karma]

I only unequip quick slash against nkg other than that i pretty much always have it

[cerulean sable]

id rather have fewer tools that are all relatively equal rather than having 3-4 dominate the entire thing

[wary imp]

Makes it easy to cheese false knight and failed champion

[rancid vector]

i dont think it's so much about balance as it is about player preference and utility

[cerulean sable]

this is why i hope for SS, they dont make % DPS increases into a passive anymore

[rancid vector]

speedrunners use specirfic loadouts all the time and have a great variety of preference depending on what they are speedrunning

[cerulean sable]

stuff like nail range, damage, attack speed should be integrated on a per Crest basis

[rancid vector]

i was a-ok with nonintegration of those things

[wary imp]

That actually sounds cool

[cerulean sable]

the specific loadouts i know is always Shaman Stone, for good reasons

[frigid karma]

i'm pretty sure the tools are all gonna be new moves though

[rancid vector]

it made using them a cost gain thing

which not enough games do honestly

a game with terrible balancing of tool selections would be sekiro

i always used the firecracker shinobi prosthetic

wayyyyy better than the others

[cerulean sable]

Integration charms is ok, i just think their costing is way too much for what they can give on specific charms
honestly they wouldve utilized it more if the costing was balanced

but as it stands, majority the player given the choice of using a 3 notch, would instead take a DPS increase rather than a charm that gives you a temporary one of shield

there are tons of 3 notch charms, but not all of them are equal

[gilded adder]

Simple early game fix imo is swapping the Dash and Fireball upgrades

[frigid karma]

Fr though i hate having to commit to only one weapon, like at least let me use other possible weapons in my class/build without having to grind uo a weapon 'm only slightly interested in

Like i upgraded dex, let me use dex weapons

[rancid vector]

i dont want to have every weapon on all the time

[cerulean sable]

Silksong should just outright give you the dash and sprint on the first 15 minutes of the game

[rancid vector]

it's not as interesting

[cerulean sable]

but yeah i agree, Dash shouldve been the first ability

[rancid vector]

i love early game challenge

and feeling weak/useless

[gilded adder]

It's not about the challenge. It's about the game being fun to play as soon as possible.

[rancid vector]

it makes mid and then late game feel awesome

[cerulean sable]

its less so as an early challenge and more around making traversal actually engaging by giving the player more interactions

yeah

[rancid vector]

that is a common complaint

[frigid karma]

Yeah i don't really see how running could become an unlockable ability

[marsh ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/federal-law-demands35days-35days-for-states-to-count-and-certify-the-presidential-race-democracy-count-every-vote-gif-19058322

[rancid vector]

a lot of people i try to recommend the game to hate it and stop because the beginning is slow gameplay-wise

[charred pulsar]

HK gives you dash and claw in the first 15mins wdym???

[rancid vector]

i personally never had that problem tho

[gilded adder]

You can still powerup in different ways and still have sprint/dash be very early on

[violet path]

Sprint?

[chilly nexus]

I legit did get the dash and claw super early on in my playthrough

[uneven vault]

real

[chilly nexus]

am glad I did

[flat remnant]

@hot rampart why do you discriminate against me i was the least sus

[uneven vault]

yeah it's not really hard the game leads you that direction

[marsh ibex]

If you fall over in the darkness, it can be easy to lose your bearing and forget which way is up. Keep this Precept in mind!

[hot rampart]

idk, i like guessing

[cerulean sable]

my stance is

if you can change an element that will help newer players, without alienating the existing playerbase, its a change thats worth it

for example, changing HKs difficulty to a lot easier will ALIENATE a lot players

but given them a movement ability early on i doubt would get people complaining like, "WHY DOES HK GIVE ME A SPRINT TOO EARLY GAME IS RUINED"

[gilded adder]

Silksong has a sprint button and a momentum gaining system alongside a dash.

[violet path]

Oh cool

[rancid vector]

im just not super picky about game design

[polar jay]

SILKSONG

[rancid vector]

if it's good, i know what good feels like

[flat remnant]

[frigid karma]

Cat just be less sus

[hot rampart]

clearly

[rancid vector]

wow a 1 second gif

[cerulean sable]

so yeah, SS should probably give you sprint jump once you hit the Church Keeper and it should be around 10-20 minutes at top

[rancid vector]

nice reply lol

[uneven vault]

it should be endgame

[gilded adder]

I know, right? Silksong more like Silktroid 🙄

[flat remnant]

sorry its in my nature to be sussy

[chilly nexus]

Imagine if you didn't start SS with the mantle ability

[severe hearth]

time to hibernate for a month

[polar jay]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-silksong-lace-silksong-hornet-lace-hornet-gif-21296228

[chilly nexus]

that would feel poopoo

[uneven vault]

being the opposite opinion of everyone else

[violet path]

Hornets movement seems like it’ll he much more complicated than tk, so yes I agree that integral movement abilities should be granted early on so the players actually uses and improves with them throughout the game

[rancid vector]

imagine if you started silksong without a needle

[hot rampart]

so yeah, SS should probably be 10 seconds long

[rancid vector]

lol phoebe

[uneven vault]

start silksong without a lesbian couple

[rancid vector]

that's the vibe im getting from this conversation

[polar jay]

newer players should get fucked make the game as hard as possible and impossible to enter unless youve played and 112% hk and radiant all bosses and anyrad3.0 hitless

[burnt flume]

whats your guess on when silksong wull release

[rancid vector]

it will release

[frigid karma]

How would you feel if you saw the words "100+ hours of content" in a new silksong trailer

[severe hearth]

"We removed all content, Silksong is literally just one room. Get fucked clowns."

[cerulean sable]

also one thing that makes early game Hornet better is the ledge climbing

on its own, its not a HUGE game changer, but the big thing regarding early game because it feels like youre actually interacting with the environment more vs to HKs "variable jump and pogo" for like at least IMO, 1-2 hours of the game in most experiences ive watched

[violet path]

Jun 12

[violet dune]

gn chat

[rancid vector]

gn

[severe hearth]

gn

[uneven vault]

literally a huge game changer

[violet path]

Hi wither, gn

[uneven vault]

would break so many things in hollow knight to have thaat ability early on

[violet path]

Hk ≠ ss

[cerulean sable]

like its own its a cool extra ability but for an early game context, its something will keep you engaged psychologically

its the little things, the interactivity with the world

even doing timings to get big burst jumps for it example

[polar jay]

within the release window, but it is a possibility the game is delayed. I won't say how likely or not, we don't have access to that information. The people saying there is absolutely no way the game is delayed are wishful thinkers and are hooked up to a high dosage of hopium.

[cerulean sable]

early game HK is just fucking walk forward > jump
and most people wont even pogo, and its not really something you can apply to give you a movement burst other than for skipping of reaching early game grubs

[polar jay]

My guess is that if there was a delay, it would be announced SOON. we're quickly reaching the 1 month mark till the release window expires

[rancid vector]

i think at the beginning of silksong, instead of holding forward to walk you at first have to tap the forward button over and over to walk

[polar jay]

based

[rancid vector]

and you have to acquire the skill to walk properly

[uneven vault]

pogo is a movement ability technically but it exists

[violet path]

Its a possibility that the molecules in the universe perfectly align to revive george Washington and he takes over this hollow knight discord server

[polar jay]

grubs should be the main goal in silksong

[chilly nexus]

adding the very early grubs that you can get to via pogo was a great choice imo, getting people to learn that mechanic

[violet path]

Killing them?

[uneven vault]

so learn to take steps

[chilly nexus]

I also used pogo to get to brooding mawlek v early iirc

[silver oak]

can't be a delay if nothing was ever officially announced

[rancid vector]

yeah blue

[uneven vault]

real

[cerulean sable]

they kinda messed up the tutorial for pogo though

originally the mounds was a tutorial for down pogo but they buffed the nail range so much that you could just slash it with normal slashes

[rancid vector]

and you don't have a weapon at first ofc

[cerulean sable]

its one of those little things didnt realize how rushed HK really was

[rancid vector]

there should also be a 1 second delay on all inputs from buttons until midgame

[violet path]

Im assuming tc told microsoft and microsoft didnt just like, guess that ss would be out in a year. Ig technically its still not an official announcement but cmon

[gilded adder]

Goomba+ enemies hopefully appearing in the early game will force players to get crafty and interact with the environment and enemies in interesting ways too

[polar jay]

but we dont know what the probability is, you cant draw that comparison

[cerulean sable]

theres other oversights such as the look down tutorial being inside the brooding mawlek area: mawlek was meant to be the first boss you fought in King's Pass

[uneven vault]

microsoft twitter account was probably automated when it said that

[rancid vector]

the first bench should be 3 hours into the game

behind 10 hard bosses

[silver oak]

god that would have been miserable

[violet path]

Makes sense to me

[cerulean sable]

hard disagree

theres no way they wouldnt know anything about the 12 months clause

[inland ravine]

Toast

[violet path]

I think hes joking

[cerulean sable]

hard to tell from SS disc these days\

[silver oak]

mawlek suuuucks esp as a super early game boss

[violet path]

Wsp gwnj

[frigid karma]

Hinestly one thing i do like abo ut silksong is how the basic mobs look a lot more dynamic and fun to fight. Like in hk all the overword stuff were either goombas, goomas that follow you, projectile, and mimiboss.

[cerulean sable]

considering we have people who unironically thinks TC has a dead family member which is why its taking so long

[rancid vector]

honestly

the boss that wrecked me the hardest in hk

[uneven vault]

the main problem is that the thing that showed all the games releasing in the next year didn't have silksong on it and the most recent tweet from xbox about what still hasn't been released doesn't talk about silksong either

[rancid vector]

was dream form of false knight

[silver oak]

automated convo between bots, fr

[cerulean sable]

which is the exciting part of the magazine, with how they know Goomba style enemies wont really work in SS anymore

[rancid vector]

well aside from nightmare king grimm

who i never beat..

[polar jay]

where did it go

[inland ravine]

Dr

[hearty plank]

June is close

[polar jay]

where did silksong go!!!! guys im going to panic and die irl

[silver oak]

why do people not tell me these things

[fleet temple]

So it wasn't like a total confirmation

[uneven vault]

silksong was never on that image

[coarse leaf]

skill issue im not gonna lie

[severe hearth]

devs and mods communicating

[rancid vector]

silksong is gonna be silksong yo i cant wait for that

that's the most exciting part honestly

[fleet temple]

How long can people wait I wonder

[polar jay]

It should have been ... Xbox said it would release in up to 12 months, and that it was confirmed gamepass.

[violet path]

If you know

[polar jay]

i wasnt saying it was there and then got removed, im saying where is it in the first place

[hollow terrace]

That Twitter account is third party

[uneven vault]

look all i can say is i have seen silksong in recent gamepass ads and that's about it

[polar jay]

Man omg i didnt even release

i am checking the official xbox twitter hold on!

[inland ravine]

What is third party exactly?

[rancid vector]

well all twitter accounts are second party when considering ownership in relation to twitter itself

or is that a third party thing

[fleet temple]

wait, that wasn't the real xbox account that said that?

[polar jay]

I am going to look for the original Xbox tweet

[hearty plank]

Didn’t a play tester confirm it?

[rancid vector]

no

[uneven vault]

graig doesn't count

[rancid vector]

playtester confirmed that it is glorious

that's all he confirmed lol.

[uneven vault]

when was this added tf

[severe hearth]

any doubters in chat

[fleet temple]

He did in the pins

[rancid vector]

i doubt many things

[fleet temple]

always

[heady iron]

it's a product not created by a first party, or the company that owns the product, but that's not important right now

[hearty plank]

Then we all gotta wait June and see, until then we gotta wait

[uneven vault]

i doubt silksong will not release this year

[hearty plank]

We ain’t even in the middle of May lol chill

[inland ravine]

Okay thanks

[violet path]

I doubt silksong will not release

[rancid vector]

that's all i can say with any degree of certainty at this point

[severe hearth]

but, yeah, read the pins. Right now this is probably the best we have lol

[uneven vault]

i don't think it's time for silksong to start hyping the game rn

[frigid karma]

you didn't get the info straight from the source. if you get the info from tc themselves it's 1st party, from a news article claiming to have direct contact with tc it's second party, and if you hear it from some bumblefuck who heard it from a friend who overheard a rumor it's 3rd party

[violet path]

Thx simo

[rancid vector]

toast is that a kanye west cd

in your avatar

[uneven vault]

they want to make it an optimal time

[violet path]

I cant wait for silksong to come out and for me to be able to leave this server

[violet path]

No

[rancid vector]

thank the gods

[uneven vault]

cause rn they prob getting beat in advertising budget so they waiting for big games rn to release

[hollow terrace]

Well in this case it’s just a elaborated xbox fan page/Twitter for overseas

[violet path]

Its the mario movie soundtrack

[rancid vector]

lolllllll

[polar jay]

There isn't a twitter post from the official Xbox account from earlier in the discussion

[uneven vault]

i forgot the blue check mark has become useless my bafd

[polar jay]

I can only assume the third party twitter account made an error. There was also another game missing from it too

[fleet temple]

So it was a fake account

[inland ravine]

Okay thanks 👍

[rancid vector]

you lot should try everspace 2 btw

[frank mist]

So we thinking before mid June or nah

[rancid vector]

good game

[hollow terrace]

Not a fake account, misconstruing

It’s just a fan news account

[polar jay]

fake account? idk not related, it wasnt the official Xbox account is my point

and the official Xbox account did not post such an img

[fleet temple]

Hopeful, but doubtful

[frigid karma]

hope with hesitation

[frank mist]

If someone told me my freshman year would end before silksong came out 3 years ago i woulda lost my shit

[rancid vector]

in silksong, you get to play as hornet, one of the bosses from the first game

[violet path]

I was unaware

[silver oak]

freshman year of what

[polar jay]

YES FINALLY A COMMON SENSE HAVING INDIVIDUAL

[frank mist]

If it doesnt come out before the “xbox timeframe” its gonna be another bad look for everyone involved like the “nintendo coming soon”

[frank mist]

not really, a lot of people will defend TC

[polar jay]

There are so many people on this discord that blindly and unwaveringly hold that the game HAS to come out within the window, when we dont know anything about how the development of the game is going

[violet path]

[violet path]

[polar jay]

theres still the possibility of a delay, we do have a release window which implies a release within that time but nothing is guaranteed and nothing has been confirmed. finally somebody gets this

[frigid karma]

i'll be a primary school freshman next year so i got that to look forward to

[violet path]

Is primary school high school?

[olive bobcat]

It's not blind, it's based on the evidence of playtester backing, something that hasn't happened for any other release window. And the existence of a release window, which has also never happened.

[frigid karma]

no

[violet path]

Middle school?

[haughty ingot]

i've read the stars
silksong trailer on may 12

[severe hearth]

over here going back to junior college at 24 after failing at university for 5 years

[frigid karma]

it's like grade 1-6

[inland ravine]

Ara

[fleet temple]

Personally, I think they'll delay
but that's just based on my opinion on TC
not actual evidence

[gilded adder]

The thing is though, there's literally no good evidence against the window.

All we can say is that it will release within the window and if it doesn't than that is not the fault of the information we were provided at the time.

[violet path]

Wait wait wait. You have 1st graders in the same school as 6th graders??

[frank mist]

Whats the “playtester backing” evidence

[severe hearth]

[uneven vault]

yes

[olive bobcat]

Simo has endorsed the Xbox release window as being real/true

[polar jay]

yes i know theres no evidence against the window, im simply saying it could release it could not release we dont know for sure and going super hard on one side or the other is dumb

[haughty ingot]

is that uncommon?

[rancid vector]

We have those here too, in charter schools

[hollow terrace]

Bcs here theyre 11-12

At least i got readdicted to Binding of Isaac to hold me over in this last month (hopefully)

[gilded adder]

I am subscribed to Rasbuten but I don't think I've watched a video of theirs in full

we have elementary schools (grades 1-6), middle schools (grades 7-9) and high schools (10-12)
there are some exceptions but those are the most common ones

[silver oak]

Ah nice nice

[violet path]

Anyone here know anything about houses

[olive bobcat]

Also this

[drowsy pike]

Oh hey I just realized he's been editing the message counting down until June 12th

I guess that means then that each month Simo has been reconfirming this date

[rancid vector]

Good education system?

[onyx harness]

He made me play outer wilds I think

[olive bobcat]

It's just an automated Discord feature

All Simo had to do was input the date

[severe hearth]

^

[haughty ingot]

it's alright i think

[gilded adder]

It's not that I don't think they're good. They seem great and I like their topics. Maybe I should watch one/more of their videos.

[violet path]

Because every night i hear this loud breathing like sound coming from what sounds like my dining room downstairs, very late at night

[haughty ingot]

there are some issues at education that almost every country shares

[gilded adder]

necro why the zote

[rancid vector]

US education at the grade school level is far too often absolutely terrible

[haughty ingot]

like education systems having no clue how to handle neurodivergent kids, etc

[fleet temple]

that's just Jim, don't worry

[gilded adder]

damn, getting zoted here

[rancid vector]

Politicized state tests

[polar jay]

@fleet temple Are you talking about this message from Graig,

"Non troll graig: I feel for you all, I really want this game to release asap and we testers are working hard to get it out to you, as well as TC of course. It will come and it is a glorious game worth the wait. Love you all"

because he absolutely does not say the game will come out within the window or not. he only says the game will come out, period.

[haughty ingot]

also can simo just change his nickname to "Simo (I'M A PLAYTESTER BTW)"

[polar jay]

you are super misunderstanding his message

[rancid vector]

Overly non-ambitious curricula

[violet path]

Im being so serious though it freaks me tf out

[gilded adder]

When is the discord username change happening btw?

[violet path]

Is it like the pipes or something?

[olive bobcat]

He's referring to Simo's message, as I linked previously

[haughty ingot]

no clue but i'm guessing this month

[severe hearth]

I forgor 💀

[polar jay]

Simo is a playtester?

[rancid vector]

What are they changing the discord name to?

[haughty ingot]

discord partners will get access to it first and they didn't get it

[onyx harness]

I love how discord adds the worst fucking features every time

[fleet temple]

I'm referring to simos message at the top of the pins

[elfin swift]

i havent seen the raz one so not sure if there's overlap, this one is neat cause daryl goes into some examples of psych studies on monkeys and humans under mri monitoring to see when dopamine is released when they're expecting a reward, at what points, and some tertiary points on what the function of dopamine is. like, for example, the monkey experiment has a lightbulb go off, that the monkeys then know will deliver them a raisin, and it actually showed the largest dopamine release is when the light goes off, rather than when they receive the raisin itself. and also that the dopamine release is highest when the raisin is only dispensed 50% of the time, as purely randomly as it gets, rather than consistently. and then conmects all that to hype cycles and the effects of both optimism and pessimism on experience of pleasure

[olive bobcat]

Simo and Benji both

[rancid vector]

Calling Hollow Knight is still relevant

He very clearly said, there is a release window. Not, the game is going to release before this release window

[silver oak]

what is that take

[rancid vector]

I wonder if TC is spending development time on that other new game concurrently with ss

[gilded adder]

So the knowledge of getting something is more satisfying to our brains than actually getting said thing? Interesting.

[fleet temple]

In that case, we have no solid evidence
Delay confirmed

[severe hearth]

I'm pretty sure RDM is just trolling lol

[onyx harness]

Smartest hollow knight fan

[hollow terrace]

Simo is a tricky rabbit with his PR tactics

[severe hearth]

That or being intentionally dense

[polar jay]

?

[olive bobcat]

Yes, but give me any other time there has been a release window, or that a TC member has endorsed it. It's possible it releases after, but it's not unfounded to believe in the window's validity

[severe hearth]

A release window implies release, that's not difficult to understand

[hollow terrace]

Ask simo for news and he’ll say no! that’s top level pr tactics

[rancid vector]

RDM is being intentionally intentful

[gilded adder]

It's been ages

[silver oak]

having fun searching your own name?

[severe hearth]

anyway I'm going to bed, had a shit closing shift lol

[polar jay]

yes obviously i think we both agree with each other. the release window obviously implies the game will release within that timeframe, but it isnt guaranteed because things can still happen and we dont have the backend knowledge to predict what happens. im saying its fine to believe in the release window but without fully commiting that it has to or absolutely wont.

[rancid vector]

Jk

[hollow terrace]

Game with unique artsyles hold up

Now gameplay? Different story

[elfin swift]

yeah, and also when there's a risk of it not happening, which ties into gambling psychology. but also he points out dopamine isn't really the source of pleasure in and of itself, like it's not like you literally have more fun waiting for a game than playing it, but dopamine release is used to point you towards and help you pursue goals and pleasurable situations. and how you can get into a psychological cycle when dopamine releases to point you towards something that doesn't actually satisfy you, like a game that turns out bad, and how that forces your brain to adjust and redo how and when it releases dopamine, affecting other situations where you might wait and get excited for similar events

[rancid vector]

Hk hasnt aged at all

[violet path]

Im not gambling anymore

[rancid vector]

Its gonna be timeless i think

[onyx harness]

Gambling is the irl infinite money glitch

[violet path]

Mmm it has though

Speak for yourself when Silksong comes out I'm gonna be 5 years old again at a candy store and I'll never be more happy

I won't exit my room for a whole week

Very cool and interesting. Thanks for sharing, Alec.

[rancid vector]

I nudgingly disagree

yea he makes really cool vids! always surprised he isn't more popular

also he brings up silksong lol

We are closer than ever to our deaths

[elfin swift]

i'm reminded of how the dark souls 2 team had to basically scrap and redo the entire core gameplay loop of lighting and darkness of ds2 because they found out late in development that the ps3 devkits they were given are actually more powerful than real commercial ps3s, and the lighting system they modeled on the ps3 devkit wouldn't actually run on real hardware. sometimes whacky shit crops up in game dev and you have to spend ages redoing stuff cause the metal you are trying to make think is thinking inefficiently

[shell yacht]

necro is 12 but its ok theyre an ai

[violet path]

Ais arent real

[silver oak]

wait water it's been 6 months

I require more cat pics

[elfin swift]

i really like his vids on the psychology of boss runbacks, and the doppelganger effect vid, really cool stuff

[violet path]

Can i get some past necro pfps i wanna see what you looked like before jellyfish

[shell yacht]

only 6 months? holy fuck

[silver oak]

might have been longer actually

time is an illusion

[onyx harness]

I never realized that was a jellyfish

[polar jay]

its really irritating when i bring up the possibility of a delay and somebody in chat goes "theres a possibility that i get struck by lightning and the ghost of albert einstein appears to give me a wedgie" as if the existence of a release window means Team Cherry is locked in and nothing that happens or circumstances they find themselves in will ever change that and the game is set to release within that timeframe no matter what because its set in stone. its about as irritating as the doomers who will say the game is definitely getting delayed because they arent receiving a constant feed of Silksong news from TC

[rancid vector]

alright alright it's cassette tape rip processing time

[polar jay]

the release window is what it is

[silver oak]

ok it's been 9 months I lied

[rancid vector]

be excited be be excited

[shell yacht]

its been way to damn long for anything to get delayed

[fleet temple]

Yes, there are people who have way to much faith in the window

[polar jay]

we dont know that

[silver oak]

[shell yacht]

we do

[polar jay]

it isnt even 1 month before the window expires

[violet path]

Is the creature yours?

[fleet temple]

TC will find a way

[polar jay]

the fact that they havent announced the exact release date means it hasnt been too long for a delay

[shell yacht]

i watched this channel lose its mind for years, your mindset is nothing new

[flat remnant]

Y'all tonight i get the chance to sleep early
should i?

[shell yacht]

lack of news means oh no bad

[rancid vector]

kitter catter

[onyx harness]

Yeah it’s possible there is a delay but there is also a possibility that i get struck by lightning and that the ghost of Albert Einstein’s gives me a wedgie

[polar jay]

again i do think the game will release within the window but its extremely wishful thinking to think it will 100% release within the window

[shell yacht]

yes thats my cat Midas btw

If the game doesn't release by June 12, it ultimately means nothing for the game itself

I'm just scared about the community reaction

[rancid vector]

i actually named him after the character in trainspotting

[gilded adder]

Yea, those sound good too. I just brought up the bad endings one since my favorite game has 2 really important bad endings and I want to hear his thoughts on the concept of a bad ending and see if I can extrapolate it to my favorite game.

[rancid vector]

his face looks crooked so it was a match

[onyx harness]

It’ll be funny for me but I’ll be so sorry for you guys

[coarse leaf]

this tbh

[silver oak]

I don'y wanna mod that

[rancid vector]

gonna be good times when it does happen soon

[onyx harness]

6 hour slowmode

[shell yacht]

make me mod again the day it comesout so i can shut thrm all up

[coarse leaf]

?whensilksong

[silver oak]

I'll just let joker do it he's on discord 16 hours a day anyway

[onyx harness]

Make me a mod so I can abuse my power

[violet path]

Cant tell if it’ll be worse here if ss does release or doesnt release

[coarse leaf]

either way people will lose their marbles

[rancid vector]

it'll be worse if it doesn't

[silver oak]

careful, simo'll actually do it

[rancid vector]

people will be angry and shit

[shell yacht]

if it doesnt itll be worse.

[rancid vector]

negative energy vampires

[polar jay]

i think if the game is going to be delayed tc will announce it by the 12th of may and if that doesn't happen the game will probably release. because like, 1 month before? yeah kinda short notice but 3wks or 2wks notice the community is going to be increasingly upset.

[rancid vector]

if it comes out it'll be a collectivegasm

that will mostly be fun to mod i'd think

[onyx harness]

You should probably get some helpers when the day approaches

[violet path]

If it does i alr know some people will be trying to spoil it in the first like 10 minutes just to be assholes so its probably best to hybernate from the server

[silver oak]

it will be me

[rancid vector]

i mean, if it does come out i wont be here i'll be playing it

[violet path]

[coarse leaf]

ive considered leaving when it drops but i wanna keep my og join date

[rancid vector]

mods won't get to play it hahahahahahahahahaha

[hollow terrace]

If it falls through and we’ll just manage it like always

[charred pulsar]

Can just not look at the server, don't need to leave 🚀

[shell yacht]

look im patient, i never went coo coo for coco puffs like some people, but if after all this time and a year long window its not out? ill be pretty annoyed

[silver oak]

simo has gratefully volunteered himself as sacrifice

[polar jay]

tc ghosting the community all the way through June 12 is arguably the least likely outcome

[onyx harness]

I have no self control

[violet dune]

gn

[rancid vector]

gn

[polar jay]

gn

[violet path]

I’ll board myself into #hk-meme

[coarse leaf]

the temptation is too strong

[shell yacht]

run its a lemon

[rancid vector]

i will never be a mod in a server for a game i am looking forward to

[gilded adder]

Simo...has volunteered as tribute!

[rancid vector]

i'd be that responsible masochist who doesn't play the game so i can mod the server

[coarse leaf]

its not too late to change your mind

[hollow terrace]

Simo PLEADING users to not leave since it hurts discord partners status

[silver oak]

discord users when they discover the tactic of playing the game really fast

[violet path]

Dont worry mods i volunteer myself to become a mod to help you deal with the spam that will occur (im a good person)

[gilded adder]

or datamining

[rancid vector]

why leave this server when tc has another game coming out after silksong tho

[onyx harness]

For April fools everyone should leave the server and then never rejoin

[shell yacht]

this servercould lose half its members and partner status wouldnt blink

[rancid vector]

just rename to team cherry, open the 'whatever it's called'-discussion channel and let the games begin

[silver oak]

If TC does make a new IP there would most likely be a new server made

[polar jay]

@charred pulsar How is silksong and spoilers going to be handled on the release of the game?

[gilded adder]

There's gonna be a "Silksong - All Bosses" video uploaded with that grid thumbnail we all know and love with the final boss in the middle within a day of the game coming out. I'm going to bet on that right now.

[rancid vector]

can't just rename this to Team Cherry?

that seems easier

[hollow terrace]

Not really

[rancid vector]

and you get to keep all the ss hype memories intact

[polar jay]

Relating to the discord server

[silver oak]

the hollow knight brand is more powerful than the TC one

[chilly nexus]

I'm more hyped for SS than totk ngl

[onyx osprey]

wait, will there be ss-help?

[silver oak]

yeh

[coarse leaf]

probably

[rancid vector]

well

[onyx osprey]

ss-offtopic? :echtroll:

[gilded adder]

#sk-discussion will be more heavily curated and modded to be only about SS.
There will most likely be a #ss-help, among other things.

[charred pulsar]

What do you mean sorry? Channels where Silksong is allowed, talk about it there, otherwise not allowed

[rancid vector]

i mean, i can definitively say... ss has its work cut out for it to be my goty

[shell yacht]

gonna go in thereevery day tosay SSkissue

[rancid vector]

cuz totk is

[polar jay]

i mostly meant spoilers

[rancid vector]

fucking

[onyx osprey]

totk is like this week right

[rancid vector]

good

[polar jay]

spoilers probably fair game in ss channel?

[coarse leaf]

yeah

[onyx harness]

The day silksong comes out i die

[tall sigil]

i do believe

[coarse leaf]

like how hk discussion is rn

[rancid vector]

spoilers for what?

[charred pulsar]

Well yeah, how else would you talk about the game haha

[coarse leaf]

no spoilers in ss help though

[shell yacht]

totk is overpriced and nintendo is horrible

[polar jay]

true

[gilded adder]

Also, most likely a no Hollow Knight OG talk in #sk-discussion so as to not spoil people who start with Silksong me thinks.

[polar jay]

gotcha just wondering, thanks

[silver oak]

doesn't play the game
only interacts with the community by annoying new members

[rancid vector]

usually game servers do non-spoiler channel and spoiler channel

[coarse leaf]

that's what we'll do then

[onyx harness]

True!

[polar jay]

Silksong help would be the non spoiler channel

[tall sigil]

talking via telekinesis about silksong

[analog vortex]

I’m back

[rancid vector]

i'd do a spoiler channel and a non-spoiler channel when it releases

[charred pulsar]

Yeah channels like #hk-general which'll allow both games can host cross game chat instead of here, though far less strict as it's bound to happen heaps often and understandably so

[onyx harness]

Will I be banned if I come to #sk-discussion once a year and bring up a random topic

[shell yacht]

the conversation about how to divide up the channels has been happening since before i was mod

[rancid vector]

the thing is, it's more work to mod the non-spoiler channel

[hollow terrace]

Yes

[rancid vector]

but it does make it so that people who would like to avoid spoilers will still pop in on here since it's separated like that

[onyx harness]

Damn

[coarse leaf]

you clearly haven't been in #hk-help enough

[silver oak]

ok grandpa lets get you to bed

[hollow terrace]

#hk-discussion too because it has pale court content COPIUM

[onyx harness]

Who knew not following rules gets you banned

This is like 1984

[rancid vector]

if spoilers are being discussed in here, i probably will take a break from coming here on release

[polar jay]

WE NEED A GODHOME CHANNEL WHEN SILKSONG RELEASES

[hollow terrace]

Nah

[polar jay]

I NEED TO BE IN A ROOM WITH ALL MY GODHOME BROTHERS AND SISTERS

[charred pulsar]

#hk-discussion

[cerulean sable]

Darkwood is better than Hollow Knight and its not even funny

[polar jay]

rename it to godhome

[rancid vector]

we need a #thank-you-team-cherry channel when it releases so everyone can thank tc

[silver oak]

Even with all the server regulars taking a break, Silksong release will be the most active this server has maybe ever been

[polar jay]

nono forget about that, godhome channel

[silver oak]

certainly over a sustained period

[polar jay]

[coarse leaf]

yeah when they all come back

[onyx osprey]

I mean, they'd probably come back?

[hollow terrace]

You can do that by making an email that is an thank you message

[rancid vector]

i mean yeah silksong release will destroy this channel

[rancid vector]

im totally gonna do that

[silver oak]

@charred pulsar can you remod water it would be really funny

[rancid vector]

there's gonna have to be a 30-60 second slow mode

[hollow terrace]

Team cherry reads all their emails, even the nasty ones

[rancid vector]

they probably get so many nasty ones 😦

[onyx harness]

I probably won’t, even though I’m not exactly a regular now

[polar jay]

Im gonna send them an email pleading them to add a godhome in silksong

[shell yacht]

[rancid vector]

thankless for a 2-person dev team (for the game itself)

i guess 3 person with the second programmer

[coarse leaf]

it's like 5 if you count everyone

ari will jack david leth chris

[rancid vector]

i dont count playtesters they suck

they get the game early

[shell yacht]

5 if you count graig 3 times

[polar jay]

i count graig 3 times

[rancid vector]

😛

[polar jay]

graig is based

[onyx osprey]

of all bosses

[rancid vector]

omg the music guy part

hahahahahahahahahahahahaahhaa

[uncut citrus]

Oh hi

[silver oak]

a classic post

[rancid vector]

that's honestly a fun nasty one

[steady sage]

hoi chat!!!

[rancid vector]

aloha

[steady sage]

i might be regretting my decision to enter now!!!

[onyx osprey]

SORRY

[cerulean sable]

Silksong threads be like

"What new parts of Silksong are you the most excited/hoping for"
"Cameo for Iselda, Cornifer, Grimm, Bretta, Zote, Mister Mushroom, Quirrel, the Pogo system coming back, THK appearing to rescue Hornet, Hornet finding a train that leads back to Hallownest, Shade Lord fight, The Knight fight, A new charm system, Five Knights, Ogrim Rematch, A tunnel that leads back to Hallownest, Elderbug, Lifeblood Beast fight, Grimm Child accompanying Hornet or fighting them, playable Knight mode, Silk Soul mode permadeath, Godhome/Return of the Godseekers..."

[rancid vector]

[steady sage]

[rancid vector]

everything else is extra, i just hope that happens

[shell yacht]

man taco pls tell me u didnt just create that

[polar jay]

Godhome

[cerulean sable]

shoutout to this fucking thread though

[rancid vector]

how would yall feel about a pantheon / godhome combo thing

[silver oak]

Silksong threads be like what if Hornet was a lesbian

[rancid vector]

like, bunch of little shitty bugs, then a boss, then a bunch of shitty bugs, then another boss, etc.

[cerulean sable]

i did, and its to paraphrase the fucking threads

[tall sigil]

the hornet is void theory

[silver oak]

r/silksong is such a glorious dumpster fire

[rancid vector]

i saw that one post today

in r/silksong

[marsh ibex]

Hate it

[steady sage]

is that light mode? i was suddenly blinded when you posted that.

[rancid vector]

was hilarious

[marsh ibex]

Just keep it non canon ffs

[cerulean sable]

your mother is a light mode

[shell yacht]

i can only look at cats and tats on reddit, anything else i lose braincells

[marsh ibex]

And don’t put an ending behind it this time

[charred pulsar]

Skissue

[rancid vector]

lol

[cerulean sable]

no cap simo but im gonna have to agree with Joker on this one

[steady sage]

i completely forgot there is only 35 days left until the window ends

[marsh ibex]

I’m sorry, where’s your r5 completion?
