sk-discussion

[cerulean sable]

thats a common complaint actually

[potent sun]

oh I’m not complaining

[cerulean sable]

is that "HK looks samey with a variety of Blue, purple, and grey"

yeah yeah i get you

[olive bobcat]

I wonder how the airport gates there look

[potent sun]

by just realized I mean JUST realized

[cerulean sable]

but im just saying for some people its a critic point

when you really compare it to Silksong

[potent sun]

if it took me this long after two 112%, it’s not that big of an issue

[cerulean sable]

because of how cold and cool the color palette was (which fits the atmosphere) but i do understand how things can get a bit similar looking, but if fit the mood

[olive bobcat]

Aight the gates themselves are pretty standard it seems

[potent sun]

but like the coral forest looks nothing like the deep docks

[cerulean sable]

its actually the biggest WOW factor for the Silksong reveal

like holy shit it has so much more fucking colors

[wary imp]

It makes me wonder how tc is going to blend areas

[potent sun]

a lot of the architecture and some of the assets were reused too

[cerulean sable]

yeah they did reuse a lot

darkspots was often used to cover rushed artwork too etc

but they had to do it considering theyre on limited resource

[potent sun]

fog canyon/greenpath/queen’s gardens

[olive bobcat]

(Fake image)

[potent sun]

damn that’s well done

[dapper granite]

definitely not photoshop, my source is trust me bro

[wary imp]

That looks too good to be fake

[olive bobcat]

It's a little rough around the edges but I'm proud of it

[wary imp]

Thats amazing

[dapper granite]

yo you made that? it looks great!

[steady sage]

looks good

[potent sun]

yeah no dude holy shit that’s crazy impressive

[olive bobcat]

Yeah I've made a lot of fake images around here

[steady sage]

i have little experience with image editing, closest i can do is that one chat edit i did

[potent sun]

although I’m sure the actual transition in-game is probably stretched out more

[olive bobcat]

Over 100, I think around 110-20

[dapper granite]

dayum

[wary imp]

Damn

[olive bobcat]

Although obviously some are lower quality as I improved over time

[potent sun]

impressed whistle sound

[dapper granite]

what's the worst one you've ever made

[wary imp]

You see, me, an individual with no skill could never do this

[dapper granite]

i'm so curious now

[olive bobcat]

shitttt lemme look through my worst ones rq

[potent sun]

they were????

I never saw any standout examples of that

I think the intense shading the whole game has makes it look way better

[olive bobcat]

This is probably my worst fake

[serene chasm]

wasnt that one of your first?

[olive bobcat]

Yeah

[wary imp]

Thats the worst?

[olive bobcat]

Did it along with Marnie iirc

[potent sun]

am I the only one who thinks the fire attack hk has is probably the most out-of-place drawing in the game?

[olive bobcat]

Back when she was doing fakes

[dapper granite]

it's not awful! pretty good for one of your firsts

[potent sun]

it looks really weird now that I’m fighting him again

[olive bobcat]

Obviously this is my best fake

[wary imp]

Holy shit

[dapper granite]

100%

[potent sun]

LMAO

my heart is already pumping

[serene chasm]

I thought the animated one with gunthers music was the best

[wary imp]

I'm gonna watch that

Is that even real

Wait

[olive bobcat]

That one was unfinished, the Gilded City one used the unused Mask Shard full theme

[kindred pewter]

Aluomorg sucks smh they should not have released that video im unsubscribing frmo them

[olive bobcat]

I assume you're thinking of this fake

[dapper granite]

"and in that moment, they realized..."

[potent sun]

I like how it says team cherry’s greatest disappointment despite them releasing one (full) game prior

[serene chasm]

also you can tell thats fake cause only 600k views

[olive bobcat]

Which was frankly also pretty rough when you look at the animations

[wary imp]

That one is wild

[slate wagon]

best fake was infinity stones fake

[olive bobcat]

Maybe I'll do another bench fake sometime

[serene chasm]

yeah, thats the one Im thinking of. I remember it getting a lot of views on twitter. unless Im remembering wrong

[hot rampart]

Still no battle pass fake

[kindred pewter]

this is def fake, it's probablt rested ground sped up, and also the animation's tweening is bad and unpolished, unless this dude is on a bad pc

[dapper granite]

true, i had to do a double take lol

[olive bobcat]

I never finished this one (and won't tbh)
(also music by Gauthier)

[olive bobcat]

It's the Mask Shard theme

[kindred pewter]

oh yeah makes sense mask shard theme

[potent sun]

relic seeker marm sounds real

[wary imp]

I think that's a new character

[olive bobcat]

It's the cut name for Lemm

[dapper granite]

both vid fakes look great tbh!

[olive bobcat]

So I decided to reuse it

[wary imp]

Oh

[olive bobcat]

Which one

[wary imp]

I know that hermit crab guy is in ss tho

[olive bobcat]

Lemme see if I can send them all in one message

[potent sun]

might be actually in silksong though

[kindred pewter]

I bet some random user will be a #1 fan of this dude

[potent sun]

maybe not that character, or a relic seeker

but given all the cut stuff from hk you never know

[slate wagon]

soul master, I forgot which one he had but that one is just burned into my memory

[olive bobcat]

Here's hoping this all sends in one message

[dapper granite]

oh my gosh i love those

[kindred pewter]

hollow knight x marvel?!?

[wary imp]

Does the knight have a gauntlet in this scenario, or do they just eat them

[potent sun]

the one with the knight standing there in the soul area would be better with radiance in the background looking back at them

[dapper granite]

that one with the knight in the soul stone place is some wallpaper material

[olive bobcat]

iirc I chose the Little Fool because in Infinity War it took a test to get the stone, so I went with the trials

I'm proudest of the Space Stone and Power Stone ones

Also I like this

[potent sun]

why is hornet time

[olive bobcat]

SS wait or something idk

I think I just thought it'd look cool

[wary imp]

The time stone ones are nice

[dapper granite]

hornet = dr. strange

[olive bobcat]

I do a lot of what I do because it'd look cool

[potent sun]

okay but hear me out

[tall juniper]

?

[slate wagon]

the detail of hive knight insta killing TK with the power stone is

[potent sun]

soul master - soul stone

[dapper granite]

based reasoning

[tall juniper]

which pose looks better

[olive bobcat]

Considered, however Soul Master teleports

[potent sun]

counter, he also killed hundreds to get their souls

[wary imp]

I personally like 1 a bit better

[potent sun]

also let’s be real 70% of hk’s bosses teleport for some reason

[wary imp]

Counter, he teleports

[dapper granite]

for funsies

[indigo nymph]

public execution

[olive bobcat]

Actually I had an edit of who ended up with all the stones

Let me go find that rq

[slate wagon]

hand it over

[potent sun]

I need an hk mod that makes every single enemy teleport like nkg

[wary imp]

Oh hell no

[potent sun]

INFINITY MACE

[wary imp]

The macebug is now the most powerful hk character

[potent sun]

it’d be super funny if he put all of those stones on his mace just to find out it’s alive

YOU BEAT ME TO IT

macebug can finally exact sweet revenge

[wary imp]

And he killed it in the process due to the infinity stones power

[potent sun]

…..good point

[olive bobcat]

Oh yeah I also made this

[wary imp]

YOU MADE THAT

[olive bobcat]

Yes I did

:)

[wary imp]

Everything i know is a lie, it was all created by aluo

[olive bobcat]

Have you seen it before?

[wary imp]

Yah

[olive bobcat]

Oh nice

[wary imp]

I had it saved

[olive bobcat]

I made a few Will Smith memes

[wary imp]

I'm gonna go
Back to the abyss for me

[olive bobcat]

G'bye

[slate wagon]

willderbug, will lady, willbee, willwife, willdiance

[cerulean sable]

TC reused a lot of assets iirc

and little were wasted

what Ari drew had like a 99% of getting into the game

vs to the usual "heres a concept, it may or may not get into the game" method

only one enemy didnt get in and it was a funny milipede looking thing

[potent sun]

it’s interesting how hk had like zero enemy variety issues

enemy variety has been popping up more and more in other games imo

(as an issue I mean)

but hk has some that are just used like twice all spread around the world

like the shield husks in the crossroads which are so random to me still

they’re only in that room it bothers me

[cerulean sable]

i mean visually yeah a lot of the mare different

but ai wise there is some overlap

[kindred pewter]

I think it kinda fits, since we see more types of those enemies (like the knights in greepath, or the colloseum) they are meant as a test, nothing else

[cerulean sable]

like shield enemies had the same AI for most of hte time

[potent sun]

a tad but not enough to feel like I’m fighting the same enemy

also, the sheild ai is perfect in hk

it’s smart but not annoying

and the enemies that use them are different enough to be discernible

[cerulean sable]

they actually acknowledged this in the Edge magazine where they said they wanted to avoid "recolors" in Silksong and admitted theres a lot of enemy variety that wasnt capitalized fully like, with them pointing out the most complex enemy youd get is the shield and sword type and even they thought they didnt fully capitalize on it

[potent sun]

really???

that’s crazy I thought they did a great job

[cerulean sable]

they did but like

in their own words for Silksong theyre expecting enemies to be more than just that

[potent sun]

ik bellheads are pogo proof

[cerulean sable]

like enemies were more like goombas at certain points

@signal crag you there

i need your copy of Edge

or any honestly

[potent sun]

I wanted to read edge in general but money

[potent sun]

well some enemies kinda had to be that becuase they were in heavily explored areas

I kinda hope the enemies aren’t too complicated

because you do a lot of a backtracking in hk and the enemies are usually pretty easy to get around

[obtuse spire]

pretty sure most flying enemies share the same “lock-on” behavior

[cerulean sable]

Pellen agrees, noting that the most complex non-boss enemies in the first game tended to be the more humanoid bugs – the sword-and-shield guardians in the City Of Tears spring to mind, enemies that can block attacks from multiple angles and have more sophisticated movement patterns. “Yeah,” Pellen says, “even those were quite simple – and it didn’t matter at all at the time – in that you could quite easily lure them off platforms, or watch them chase you and they’d hit a wall and just turn around and you’d be like, ‘Well, that’s fine, it’s a videogame’. But the characters in this game, they’re kind of one step beyond that, where it doesn’t quite feel right for them to be that simple. Like, they have to have surprising ways of chasing you, keeping up with you, or evading your attacks.” (Or, indeed, of appearing to interact with the environment: we spot the occasional beetle flying around with a useful glowing Mossberry item clutched in its mandibles.)

[obtuse spire]

this behavior was actually present in the silksong demo in the mossy section

[cerulean sable]

We note with interest one such ‘Goomba-plus’ in the starting area with a clever trick: it’s able to disguise itself as a discarded skull before popping out to scuttle around, almost like a hermit crab, and pose a threat – but later Pellen strikes them with Hornet’s needle before they have a chance to pounce. Another surprisingly aggressive foe stampedes noisily towards Hornet, reminding us of the first game’s Moss Charger, only with more legs – except it accelerates as it goes, making its patterns harder to predict. They’re the sort of cannier, scarier foes you don’t see anywhere in the first game’s starting area, a carefully designed, but slightly bland, tutorial circuit that teaches you the basics of exploring and fighting before handing you a fireball power that opens up the rest of the world.

[potent sun]

damn that’s super interesting

wish I had the magazine

holding mossberries is especially big compared to hk’s stuff

the minor enemies never had enough importance beyond just being something to kill 99% of the time

[cerulean sable]

yeah basic mob combat has been discussed to death on this server

[potent sun]

I’m sure

[cerulean sable]

most agrees is whenever people say HK's combat is super good, its usually in relation to the bosses or colosseum

[olive bobcat]

https://youtu.be/YmrjfF3ASyM

[cerulean sable]

but general enemy traversal is more or less ok

[potent sun]

sorry if I’m retreading old stuff I’m not around here much 😅

[cerulean sable]

i actually prefer it, its good discussion

not like we have a lot to talk about anyway

[potent sun]

that’s true

[cerulean sable]

so yeah magazine mentioned they really upped the AI and the combat

[obtuse spire]

the hermit-crab type mentioned here is already present in HK, not sure why they felt the need to mention it

seems pretty redundant

[olive bobcat]

As tired as my hype for this game can get, I know that first step in Moss Grotto will have me hyped to no end

[potent sun]

I find combat in platforming areas to be sorta meh as an idea

[cerulean sable]

they focused more on the combat than with the platforming (tho im sure theres still plenty of platforming improvements both in challenges and mechanics, just that combat got a higher priority"

[violet path]

Holy

[potent sun]

like the queens gardens just sorta annoyed me

it wasn’t the most satisfying mid-air combat experience

I hope there’s more coliseum-type things in silksong

maybe not that specifically

[cerulean sable]

Queens Garden was ok

[potent sun]

but more longer, thought-out enemy challenges

[cerulean sable]

i think it was because i already experienced the garden type via Greenpath

[olive bobcat]

Queens Gardens is like Greenpath but cooler feeling

[potent sun]

it was more about the thorns that annoyed me

combined with the annoying baby mantises

[olive bobcat]

I like the look of it a lot, like Greenpath if they tried to build inside it

[potent sun]

it wasn’t hard, just mildly bothersome

[olive bobcat]

And the theme is one of my favorites in the game

[potent sun]

but I agree asthetically queens gardens rocks

[obtuse spire]

that could easily backfire as making the combat more tedious

[potent sun]

way better than greenpath

[olive bobcat]

Rewatching the demo reminds me of why I wanted to remake it

[potent sun]

I’m not sure about that, as long as it doesn’t stand in the way of exploration

but like

you know the sections where you have to kill waves of enemies

I wanna feel like I actually need to strategize for those

[obtuse spire]

imo there needs to be some element of randomness to enemy behavior to keep the players on edge

[potent sun]

not sure about randomness, just more variety

they already did a good job with the demo enemies

which god it’s wierd to me that silksong had a demo despite it being literally 4 years ago

[olive bobcat]

shitttt I was hyped for this game back in 8th grade

[potent sun]

BRO ME TOO

[olive bobcat]

I've been making fakes for like 3-4 years now 💀

Not much at all lately but I went on for a while

[potent sun]

I’ve been waiting for silksong since before I knew I was bisexual lmao

that’s a crazy amount of time

I went back to some old mossbag videos and I can’t believe the silksong ones are like three years old now

and in all of them he’s so confident that it’s coming soon

@vale temple

[vale temple]

hi

[olive bobcat]

When reading a manga, I try and listen to music that I think fits the situations

For Dandadan, this is what I listened to during the Turbo Granny + crab chase fight

https://open.spotify.com/track/2fxJhrsJL4YUWxopDVMAZF?si=01e4d521664f4513

[vale temple]

i dont like listening to music when reading tbh

it's distracting

[olive bobcat]

Now I listen to Hotline Miami stuff because the fights are far more intense now

This has become ||Evil Eye||'s theme to me
https://open.spotify.com/track/4FdQL99ZOQTAsAQv2EJGnw?si=4edb6569908d46bd

[frigid karma]

same, and like, i don't want to keep having to change the music to adapt to the mood of the story having to adjust that often takes me out of the story

[olive bobcat]

If I read without music it gets a little tedious or boring to me

Sometimes I'll just throw on random background music

Used to use Kurzgesagt but I've been shifting more towards Ochre for that situation

[vale temple]

fair

[olive bobcat]

Most of Ochre's stuff is slower paced but this is a solid one
https://open.spotify.com/track/3pGuiPs0xYYOHr6FKNZVmA?si=752350be1c5c4a77

Is it night time for anybody here

I find Ochre's music is really good for relaxing and thinking at night

Infotain Me, Out of the Gyre, Paper Unicorn, REM Sleep Research, Low Grav Freefall (High Altitude Remix), etc

LBP2 fans will recognize Infotain Me, that's how I first learned about Ochre

[vale temple]

We have yet to see a fire gym that utilizes actual fire

The closest we've gotten was Malva's room in the Kalos Elite Four

[carmine island]

Lol yeah

[grand ferry]

we have EK that rips off the fucking roof

[smoky nebula]

Do you want a fire maze‽

[carmine island]

Yes

[olive bobcat]

No I want the gym trainers to burn

[carmine island]

Also that

[smoky nebula]

It's not legal

[carmine island]

And?

[vale temple]

the hoenn fire gym is literally a sauna

[olive bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-abyss-falling-death-scream-gif-20558112

[vale temple]

[olive bobcat]

That's hot water, not fire

[smoky nebula]

It would never be authorized

[olive bobcat]

This is the typa shit I'm talking

[vale temple]

yet world destruction pocket pets are ok

I despise math

[vale temple]

i only remember siebold from xy bc my friend keeps simping hot men

[olive bobcat]

Siebold's room is super cool

[smoky nebula]

Those are lowercase x and y, kaan

[olive bobcat]

Siebold could be the champion if he wanted tbh, Diantha has nothing on him

[olive bobcat]

Despite being a Pokemon fan from before gen 6, I don't hate XY

[vale temple]

even in the anime diantha was clowned on

[olive bobcat]

I actually like them a lot, even though playing them can be a drag

[sinful flare]

there are also uppercase X and Y which i hate even more

actually nah those are fine

[grand ferry]

ok im at skyla

[olive bobcat]

I tried remastering the XY team menu a couple years back

[vale temple]

@olive bobcat

[olive bobcat]

I love it

Give me more of this shit

[smoky nebula]

I've only played shield
It wasn't fun
Felt too easy, I just steamrolled through the game with Gyarados and drednaw(I boxed my starter (the water one) after getting drednaw)

[carmine island]

Not in the games tho

[vale temple]

start?

[olive bobcat]

I also fucked around with the idea of Legends: Kalos type game

[sinful flare]

ive only played emerald

maybe thats why i am so hesitant on playing other pokemon games

emerald felt boring kind of

[fathom marsh]

i enjoy snakes, snakes are cool

[delicate flare]

snakes are cool

did u know if you put your hand behind a cobra’s head they cant strike because they have to wind up to lunge

no,

damn

[high hedge]

A lot of them can be safely moved if you just know how to pick them up

[river crane]

Yeah

[high hedge]

My suggestion is putting your hands near any wild snakes mouth while making loud threatening noises

[vale temple]

I would still wear protection you never know

[river crane]

Weeellll if you scared

[high hedge]

That way you properly intimidate the snake

[vale temple]

not my fault, the snake is a wuss

[high hedge]

aren't you both wusses there

[vale temple]

no i'm being smart

[vale temple]

hey guy

[fathom marsh]

snakes

[river crane]

Has anybody ever seen a banana x piebald ball? They are beautiful

[delicate flare]

Basically 2 big teams, you draw your opponent’s characters for points (getting higher points for higher effort/quality work) and they usually draw yours back in a big fucking tug-of-war of Cool and Silly Art

[fathom marsh]

so gartic phone?

[sage glade]

hey couch

[delicate flare]

like… not really but close

[sage glade]

wtf it's.. cover?

[river crane]

Im gonna die

[sage glade]

no Ls for you

only Ws, cOwOver

it's so cowover..

[fathom marsh]

can you make the next theme snakes

because snakes are cool

[delicate flare]

Its a lot bigger scale. You can do low effort quick sketches, sure, but you get significantly more points for high quality work

[fathom marsh]

that's not a snake

[delicate flare]

there are people with snake OCs

[sage glade]

girl got the baiken hair

[delicate flare]

you can draw them

[fathom marsh]

i can't draw, i tried making a pfp with an oc on it, swiftly changed it to default afterwards

but snakes are cool icl

[delicate flare]

the theme is mostly just there for flavor. VERY FEW people actively choose to follow it if the OC isn’t already a match by default. (This year is “Vampires vs Werewolves - last year was Wither vs Bloom - year before that was Steampunk vs Cyperpunk)

[delicate flare]

Art is fun, even if you suck

[fathom marsh]

steampunk snake would be the most raddest shit ever

I want to join

[delicate flare]

The only requirement is that you can draw at least a single reference image for your own OC, so if you want to draw a steampunk snake and then art trade with people to get them to draw your Steampunk Snake thats 1000% the point of AF

[fathom marsh]

i can draw a steampunk snake, won't look very good but i think it will get the point across

or at least i hope so

[delicate flare]

it doesn’t even have to be Good it just has to be a genuine Attempt, skill only matters for the fake internet clout of getting points for team A or team B

and your description can do some heavy lifting too

[fathom marsh]

steampunk snake

[delicate flare]

for instance, i drew this skeleton mermaid for AF last year; and my friend attacked me and drew her like THIS. like. holy Fuck

Generally you can tell when someone is Trying to grasp art but just not there yet vs totally phoning it in

[vale temple]

@flat remnant getting used to pen pressure will take a while

[fathom marsh]

i got what you mean, i want to join

[flat remnant]

I know i learned the hard way

[vale temple]

whats the easy way

[marsh ibex]

knowing beforehand

I’m so bones

[vale temple]

someone got up for work early

[delicate flare]

For instance, here is one of my OOOOOLD pieces. it looks pretty shitty, even worst than the old mermaid drawing, but even with the abysmal anatomy, you can tell i had the intent to Draw a Character

[marsh ibex]

yeah

[delicate flare]

Hell yeah homie i love to see it

[marsh ibex]

I barely woke up before my alarm today

[fathom marsh]

snake

[flat remnant]

Suffer as i have suffered

[vale temple]

its ok joker you'll get used to this
for the rest of your life probably

[marsh ibex]

yeah

[fathom marsh]

can you Stop Capitalizing random word Sets as if they were to Be A Name

[marsh ibex]

I’m just used to ignoring my alarm for like 10 minutes

[flat remnant]

Bro did NOT know proportions 😭

[delicate flare]

draw up your snake reference and feel free to sign up. Depending on your team alignment, i might even try and send you an attack of it ;)

[delicate flare]

never

[marsh ibex]

Can’t really do That for a job Because then i Get in trouble with My bosses yippee

[delicate flare]

i sure the fuck did not

[fathom marsh]

so i just draw the snek and then i can join?

[vale temple]

i dont think i ever overslept

its either wake up before alarm or when it rings

[fathom marsh]

"Snakes are pretty cool, man"
-Albert Einstein

[marsh ibex]

I’ve overslept once

[delicate flare]

compare that to this refsheet i whipped up in roughly the same 1 hour of time, hooh boy

[marsh ibex]

first time I had this early ass shift I woke up at like 2 in the morn

[delicate flare]

yeah pretty much

[fathom marsh]

awesome

[vale temple]

can you even sleep before 12 am

too hard for me now

[marsh ibex]

yeah

[flat remnant]

Looks significantly better
What was the time gap between the first and second drawing?

[delicate flare]

Draw up a ref, put it on your profile, and then the quickest & most reliable way to get attacked yourself is to send an attack of your own (drawing somebody else’s character)

[fathom marsh]

i physically cannot sleep more than 11 hours

[delicate flare]

Like 2 years

[vale temple]

i cant sleep for more than 6-7h

[flat remnant]

Okay interesting gtk

[fathom marsh]

can the attacker trace the original image as a reference? just wondering

[marsh ibex]

probably frowned upon

[delicate flare]

Funny enough the scuffed image was a little bit of a backslide, my first ever digital drawing was him (i didnt draw the face bc i didnt know how, but the proportions were all there)

[delicate flare]

^^

[fathom marsh]

[fathom marsh]

don't eat my brother

[sage glade]

i should tell you in advance that you should get a pad to cover it

[marsh ibex]

Drawing tablets seem fun but I also think it’d take too long to get used to it

[sage glade]

cause the pen scratches the fuck outta the tablet

[coarse leaf]

make me

[marsh ibex]

I’m also not liquid

[sage glade]

and leaves permanent grooves

[marsh ibex]

[coarse leaf]

[delicate flare]

2021 - 2022 - 2023

[flat remnant]

If your experience isn't with 100% paper and you still have room to adapt you'd be fine on digital

Personally digital helped me get better at paper

[flat remnant]

How consistently were you drawing?

[vale temple]

i wish i was given these kind words
instead of 'your old art sucked'

[delicate flare]

(ngl the artfight attack i posted earlier would be a WAY better 2023 example but i heavily crutched on the ref for it, whereas the Kyro drawing was 100% freehand

[delicate flare]

like not at all

[marsh ibex]

I mean anyone can learn it even with 100% paper experience right

[flat remnant]

yeah

[vale temple]

yes

[marsh ibex]

my BONES

THEY’re wiggling

[flat remnant]

there are specific brushes that emulate pencil style

no its that im inconsistent

[sage glade]

you can adjust the pressure curve in the software

[delicate flare]

she is so,

[vale temple]

never heard of that

[frigid karma]

you trans the gene pool

[sage glade]

how much pressure corresponds to how much thickness

[flat remnant]

Check krita settings

[frigid karma]

i've never really used a stylus i feel like i'm learning so much

[vale temple]

i was talking about the shi tzu dog

[frigid karma]

adjust the pressure on the dog

[vale temple]

thats sound wrong

[flat remnant]

Me pushing the dog down to get the right pressure

[sage glade]

it'll adjust itself when the thunder is gone

[lusty horizon]

so guys

[frigid karma]

or you can just open your dog's settings and adjust them manually

Worst enemy in the game ..plus it's super dark when you fight them ...

[lusty horizon]

yeah

[frigid karma]

i remember i was trapped in the catacombs for like, 2 days straight bc of those little shits. i had defeated pinwheel easily, but those bonewheels practically softlocked me

[lusty horizon]

oh yeah and a surprise black knight just because

the black knight wasn't too hard

[frigid karma]

what i did was strip naked and just mad dash to the exit

[lusty horizon]

it's just dealing iwth the pinwheels

[frigid karma]

spamming roll

[sage glade]

black knights are the most satisfying enemy to master

[lusty horizon]

that's what I do tbh

I never try to reach 25% of my equip load

Havel's Ring my beloved........

[frigid karma]

that guy made me lose like 20 humanity

[lusty horizon]

💀

the black knight in and of it self wasn't that bad

[frigid karma]

yeah but you never see him coming

[lusty horizon]

true true

you're dealing with bonewheels and bam

black knight just slamming you

[sage glade]

y'all did catacombs before anor londo?

[frigid karma]

ye

[sage glade]

😬

[sinful flare]

yo drg playas

[frigid karma]

i got trapped in the catacombs at lvl 30ish

[lusty horizon]

I did since I wanted to get my zweihander the chaos ember

[sinful flare]

i sent an image in the gc

[lusty horizon]

and the blacksmith was in the catacombs so.....

my mistake was using the bonfire

[sage glade]

i cannot imagine going down there without ||the lordvessel|| (le anor londo item™️)

[lusty horizon]

not knowing hell on earth awaits outside

[sage glade]

don't click val

[frigid karma]

me who downloaded the game like 3 days prior with no clue what any of that means

[lusty horizon]

gotcha

[sinful flare]

click this message instead val

[lusty horizon]

click this ratio instead

[sinful flare]

which part are you specifically confused on

[frigid karma]

my only weapon other than the starters is the cryo cannon

i am very noob

[sinful flare]

fuck catacombs probably one of my least favorite floors in the game

pgl is just engineer's first secondary

[frigid karma]

tomb of the giants is worse

[sage glade]

bro is not talking about ds

[frigid karma]

those guys on all fours

[lusty horizon]

I haven't been to the tomb of giants

yet.

I was too frustrated to even explore since I wanted to leave the catacombs

[frigid karma]

oh it's a wonderful place you'll enjoy it a lot

[lusty horizon]

I surely will

Honestly I kinda have an unfair advantage to my playthrough

I've been backseated, still being backseated, by my partner and her brother

who have both finished the DS series and ER

multiple times iirc

[sage glade]

who did it worse
tomb of the giants
vs
the gutter (ds2)

[frigid karma]

it's fine, even if they weren't there you'd be googling

[burnt topaz]

catacombs 🏃‍♀️💀 💀

[frigid karma]

me who's only played er and dark souls 1
