You should

[formal iris]

Lego company kinda cares for employees, I mean, they give them free exclusive shit for Christmas if that matters.

[flat remnant]

Do they give them fair pay

[opaque sigil]

It doesn’t really matter if they don’t have good conditions, good wages, good healthcare, etc

[formal iris]

I mean, Lego is from Denmark, isn’t Denmark like pretty good with that sorta thing?

Idk

[vale temple]

cat look at whati made

[opaque sigil]

If they have a strong labor movement there then maybe

[flat remnant]

Sof look what i made

[vale temple]

wher

[formal iris]

Oh phones about to die

#sk-discussion message

[opaque sigil]

Though that’s not necessarily caring about workers, it’s workers being organized enough to make execs play nice

[flat remnant]

Alright moving to denmark

[vale temple]

nice

[opaque sigil]

Probably smart

[flat remnant]

Evil corporations will be evil corporations

[sinful flare]

warner bros try to have good work ethic challenge

[vale temple]

i dont like how mine turned out

[flat remnant]

I really like the textures

[opaque sigil]

It’s not about being evil, they’re not evil they just exist in a fucked up system that incentivizes bad conduct

[flat remnant]

From a distance the hat looks smooth but zooming in it's grainy

[vale temple]

grainy?

[lone crown]

But doesn’t that still make them evil

[heady iron]

Billionaires when they can't afford their 14th yacht because their employees want "livable wages"

[opaque sigil]

It’s not an issue on the level of individual corporations, the problem is bigger than that

[vale temple]

yeah i added that
is it bad

[lone crown]

Well yeah I agree with you in regards to the overarching problem, but they’re still partly to blame

[opaque sigil]

Sure, they’re still playing the unethical game even if they didn’t write the rules

[flat remnant]

I literally said "i like the textures"

[prisma meteor]

this is not true

they are losing SIGNIFICANTLY more money than they are saving

[vale temple]

idk i thought you were criticising

[flat remnant]

On them bragging or how much money they saved

[prisma meteor]

I believe that wb probably lied to their shareholders

[flat remnant]

Oh that's a relief to hear

[prisma meteor]

like they tricked them

[flat remnant]

The message right before that lmao

[prisma meteor]

because they aren't making any money at all so it doesn't matter how much you save

[opaque sigil]

Probably didn’t lie, just didn’t tell whole truth

[prisma meteor]

well they are probably making a little bit from residuals but not that much

[prisma meteor]

yeah that's what I mean

[vale temple]

i wasnt sure about the texture bc it could feel like
lower quality?

[opaque sigil]

And even if the striking saves them money for now that won’t stick

[prisma meteor]

and Hollywood is famous for fucking with accounting to cook the books and either make it seem like they are making a bunch of losing a bunch for publicity and residuals stuff

they use subsidiaries and shit to make it seem like they lost a lot of money when they didn't really lose any (or in this case the opposite)

[vale temple]

wish this was more visible

[prisma meteor]

the whole point of the strike is they need more income so the company doesn't really gain that much....

[silver laurel]

uhm

What that deuce?

[prisma meteor]

because the workers werent being paid that much in the first place so losing them doesn't really help the studio's that much

[silver laurel]

Mario kart

[blazing grove]

it’ll hurt them in the long term but right now they’re ofc gonna save money if they’re not paying ppl

[prisma meteor]

they have already lost significantly more than they've saved

not even considering the long term, RIGHT NOW they are fucked

[blazing grove]

ig so lol

[flat remnant]

I love how everyone is mocking them for their greed

Like there's hardly any defenders it's a universally bad decision

[opaque sigil]

Even paying people an unliveable wage is an expense

[prisma meteor]

like what's the thing they said? the demands of the strikers could be paid off by like half of the amount of money the Mario movie made which is a single movie from a single studio in an industry with hundreds of movies and hundreds of studios

in the grand scheme of things it's not that much money

and that means paying them before now was even less money

[opaque sigil]

No but the way public companies are structured means they have to maximize profits, not just turn one

[prisma meteor]

so the savings from not having to pay workers anymore is barely anything

[opal dew]

THE LINE

[silver laurel]

Hi ging :3

[prisma meteor]

what's your point

[opal dew]

Hiii

[opaque sigil]

That even if it’s a minor expense they won’t pay it if they can get away with it

[prisma meteor]

that's not at all what I'm talking about big guy

it doesn't apply

[opaque sigil]

It does because caving means making slightly less money forever which they will do anything they can to avoid

[prisma meteor]

I'm saying that if they can pay off the strikers with a single movie, before the strike they would have been paying a lot less, so the money they save by not paying them is nothing

[opaque sigil]

Not short term no

[prisma meteor]

I'm not talking about the outcome of the strike Jesus Christ pay attention

[silver laurel]

I shipped you a suit of armor painted red (lobster)

[opaque sigil]

The goals of the parties are always salient

[opal dew]

Based

[prisma meteor]

yes short term! because they lose a lot more than they are saving!

[opaque sigil]

And eventually over time if they concede they’ll also lose money

If they can wait out the strikers and don’t have to increase expenses they can save more in the long term

[prisma meteor]

I'm not talking about whether or not the strike succeeds tammo that literally makes no difference to the point I am making

I am simply stating the effect the strike has on the studio's DURING it

[opaque sigil]

The reason why they are willing to accept that effect is because of their desired outcome

[prisma meteor]

who is they

[opaque sigil]

Studios

[prisma meteor]

they aren't accepting the effect tammo they can't do anything about it

other than ending the strike

[wheat sail]

Hate you

[opaque sigil]

They’re accepting the effect by not negotiating

[prisma meteor]

they are negotiating

[silver laurel]

Tammo 🫵

[opaque sigil]

They have not been making substantial concessions

At least as of the last released summary of negotiations

[prisma meteor]

ok well that's my point dude

[opaque sigil]

It’s not negotiating if you go to the table and just say “no”

[twin bough]

Oh boy another argument about something

[hollow terrace]

Tammo sounds like you should advocate us using guillotines

[prisma meteor]

the only thing they can do is appease the workers which they won't do until they have no other option, so they aren't accepting the effects of the strike they are forced into it

[opaque sigil]

They’re accepting the effects by not caving

[opaque sigil]

They’re better than what we use now

[prisma meteor]

sure

[heady iron]

a technical recruiter from apple for apple vision pro just looked at my linkedin profile

[prisma meteor]

that's the same thing I just said

[opaque sigil]

So you agree

[heady iron]

too bad I don't know anything about ar development

[opaque sigil]

.

[prisma meteor]

with that point? sure, but i still don't know what your overall point is

do you think the strike will succeed tammo?

[opaque sigil]

They’re thinking long term to maximize profits

[opaque sigil]

Probably, it has a lot of public support

[prisma meteor]

caving to a strike is the answer to that

[opaque sigil]

It’s not

Long term the nickel and dime shit will win out

[prisma meteor]

that's the whole point of a strike is to hold profit hostage until you get what you want

[opaque sigil]

And if the strikers have to stop before they get what they want then the profit comes back

[prisma meteor]

caving to a strike is the best move for a company other than strike busting but that's not going to work here

[flat remnant]

What would be the effects in general of the strike not working and the studios using robots

[prisma meteor]

they aren't going to do that

[opaque sigil]

They can’t copyright anything if they do that

[prisma meteor]

it's a lie they are telling to their shareholders to tide them over

it's not going to happen

[heady iron]

silksong

[prisma meteor]

I'm not sure the laws around ai are like existent enough for that yet

hopefully soon they are but probably not now

[opaque sigil]

Things not made by people can’t be copyrighted, it’s come up in the realm of animals and that law would apply to ai generated stuff

“Because copyright law is limited to ‘original intellectual conceptions of the author,’ the [Copyright] Office will refuse to register a claim if it determines that a human being did not create the work.”

[prisma meteor]

a massive studios's fancy lawyers would very easily be able to claim something made by an ai under said company counts as the company making it

and corporations are people in most copyright systems

I hope that it wouldn't work like that but it most likely would

[opaque sigil]

They would have to argue for a human creator

[prisma meteor]

and also you can still make a movie with public domain shit

[opaque sigil]

You can, but not being able to have an ip is a bit of a problem for a large company

[prisma meteor]

the like technician, like with digital vfx

[opaque sigil]

Except they weren’t the author

[chilly nexus]

they were the author of the prompt tho

[opaque sigil]

Not the work

[chilly nexus]

Ik but you can claim the prompt and related ones as Ip

which is a proxy for the work

[opaque sigil]

You could claim the prompt, not the image

[chilly nexus]

cuz now others can't reproduce it

[prisma meteor]

I personally don't think an ai technician should get copyright over whatever bullshit it spits out but I think it's likely that a big movie studio could use their money and their fancy lawyers to convince lawmakers that they should

[chilly nexus]

ye never underestimate the power of $$$

[opaque sigil]

And the prompt would have to be copyright able too, you can’t just copyright phrases

[chilly nexus]

they would pair the phrase with uses and context

not pull a taylor swift and copyright the year 1989

[opaque sigil]

There’s not really any context that would solve that problem

And they still wouldn’t have the actual image copyrighted

[prisma meteor]

but like cgi is just simple stuff that the computer fills in properly, if you look at what the VFX artist actually made compared to the final image there's gonna be a huge difference and they could argue the same thing applies to ai shit

I disagree and I think that's stupid but they could easily argue that

[opaque sigil]

Except with vfx the person actually makes something, courts have already distinguished between that sort of thing and full ai generation

[prisma meteor]

have they? I don't think so

what case are you talking about

[opaque sigil]

https://www.copyright.gov/rulings-filings/review-board/docs/a-recent-entrance-to-paradise.pdf

[prisma meteor]

but like copyright law as we know it today was basically invented by Disney. the big studios have so much influence over that kinda shit I don't think it's far fetched to assume they could make it legal to copyright AI works

[foggy heath]

Can anyone help me with ideas for an ancient factory dungeon for the first dungeon in my D&D campaign, it's a factory of an incredibly rare (nowadays) material that could be fused with any elements, and hides one of the ancient artifacts sealing away the primordial god of chaos, the boss is going to be a construct made to guard the artifact, and can transform to use other enemies abilities, and it will be sneaking around the dungeon as they explore. I'm trying to make it seem like cliche ancient stuff, but reveal the twist that they were actually incredibly advanced

[opaque sigil]

They wouldn’t have to, just use frivolous lawsuits with no legal merit

The possibility of flagrant misuse of systems always exists

More than a possibility really

[opaque sigil]

Can probably disguise robots as earth elementals and shit

[foggy heath]

good idea

[velvet sentinel]

procrastinating sleeping rn

[prisma meteor]

I have no idea what you mean

[opaque sigil]

Sherlock strategy

[prisma meteor]

I don't know what you mean

[velvet sentinel]

chewbacka defense

[opaque sigil]

Roaming bosses are kinda hard to do, are you going to predefine encounters or just track its location

[wary imp]

Maybe have it look like a pile of old tech or something then activate to surprise the party

[foggy heath]

predefine encounters, they won't actually fight tho until the final room where they truly attack and reveal their gimmick

[opaque sigil]

Probably a good call, don’t want it to fail a nasty save and get clapped ten minutes in

[foggy heath]

I've literally been at a creative block for this dungeon for a year now

[wary imp]

Ooooh
I see how this might be working
So is it going to lurk around to the point to where the players notice it but it doesn't notice them

[foggy heath]

I think I need to do something different but I can't because to continue the story they need to explore here and get the artifact

[foggy heath]

well it's relatively small at first

the dungeon was locked away for millions of years until an event which opened all of them up

[opaque sigil]

It could jump in to kill low health enemies and steal their abilities before running off

[foggy heath]

this is actually a great idea!

[marsh ibex]

Also give them a gun

Now.

[foggy heath]

in the final phase of the boss fight I want it to grow into this fleshy abomination and have the party climb up and kill it

[foggy heath]

one of the players have a gun

[opaque sigil]

Antimatter rifle

[marsh ibex]

Give the boss a gun

Flesh gun

Fun

[foggy heath]

it will if the player shoots it

[opaque sigil]

You could give it new attacks when hit with a certain damage type

But idk if you want to clog the stat block too much

[opal dew]

I'm bored

[flat remnant]

Hi bored

[opal dew]

I should play more divinity

[foggy heath]

it has an ability to take a player's ability

they roll con or int I forgor

[opaque sigil]

Oh dear

[foggy heath]

I made the statblock a while ago

[foggy heath]

dw it's relatively low DC and also it's mainly actives like spells

[opaque sigil]

The construct getting aura of protection

[foggy heath]

and for spells it can only use them once

[foggy heath]

they're level 4 it's fiiine

[hollow terrace]

Don’t worry they’ll argue that graig was demoted and fired from being a playtester now that he’s without an red role

[opaque sigil]

True

[chilly nexus]

Graig I missed u

[radiant wraith]

We at the Hollow Knight community love getting to ridiculous conclusions from the tiniest bit of information

Jack Vine didn't modify the Press Kit in 2 years

must have been fired

[hollow terrace]

That part is true, Simo Cherry told me so

[fleet temple]

There's no reason for TC to update hk while making ss, they can't work on 2 games at once obviously, they must have finished it already!!

[radiant wraith]

that sounds logical

I saw William watching the Barbie movie, he must have finished the game already if he can watch a movie

TREU

[magic narwhal]

Ngl Guardians 3 is only good because of the Rocket plot

[olive bobcat]

That is the driving plot of the movie

The main part of the movie

[magic narwhal]

Yeah and that's the only reason it's good, the other scenes are either just really weird or don't do that good character building

[olive bobcat]

Ngl I didn't mind Adam Warlock, although his introduction was kinda sudden

[magic narwhal]

It's just lucky it decided Rocket's backstory and the Evolutionary were the main plot, otherwise it would've flopped probably

The ending is also extremely meh

[olive bobcat]

That ending ruled wdym

[magic narwhal]

Not like the final battle

[olive bobcat]

What part about the ending was meh

[magic narwhal]

Everything after

[olive bobcat]

Bro saw that dance scene and was like "it was ok i guess"

[magic narwhal]

Quill "dies" for contrived reasons, we get a really lackluster scene of the Guardians retiring, it's pretty mid

[olive bobcat]

GotG3 spoilers
This shot rules tho

[magic narwhal]

Biggest missed opportunity in this movie is Nebula and Quill

[olive bobcat]

I love the reference they go for

[magic narwhal]

It's neat, but it doesn't make sense given Quill's helmet is perfectly functional in his last 2 appearances

[olive bobcat]

Yeah idk where it was

But rule of cool

[magic narwhal]

They kind of tried to hint at some sort of romance kind of....?

But it doesn't go anywhere, they don't have a scene to discuss where they stand with each other they just go seperate ways and that's that

[olive bobcat]

You know what rules tho

Finally seeing rocket actually happy

[olive bobcat]

Yeah seeing him spinning and cheering was wonderful

||Really hoping they don't go the (possible) route of HE being alive, because I think it would take away from the ending||

[opaque sigil]

idk why they would do that

[twin bough]

||he is alive, on my 3rd rewatch i noticed drax carrying him, i dont think it really takes away from the ending though as rocket purposefully didnt kill him||

There was a deleted scene

[twin bough]

||the legendary star lord was the title of quills solo run in the comics||

[shell yacht]

what else would it be..

[twin bough]

Animated

They are beginning to delve into animated for the marvel studios side of things

[shell yacht]

god i hope not

[opaque sigil]

they might do that for shows but I doubt the movies will go hard in that direction

[twin bough]

Whats wrong with animation?

[opaque sigil]

nothing, but the general audience might not like the shift

[shell yacht]

dc does good animation and nothing else
marvels animations are like... 16 yr old shows?

[opaque sigil]

marvel movies are a special effects demonstration in large part, transitioning to animation would lose some of that appeal

(yes I know they're more than that, but that's definitely a part of the mass appeal)

[twin bough]

Idk what if had some pretty damn strong episodes

And some scenes in the gotg holiday special were animated

Can you blame the development team though?

[marsh ibex]

it’s more like the non regulars were mad and left

as per usual

[indigo nymph]

poggers

[twin bough]

Grrrr why are we not getting an unfinished game!!!!!?!?!

[marsh ibex]

you can! it’s foolish to blame them, but you have the autonomy to blame them!

[cerulean sable]

seriously a game at this level of hype is like probably nerve wracking for a 3 man team

[marsh ibex]

personally I’d have rather they idk use their official Twitter account to give the news but you take what you get

[buoyant pelican]

And the patience too, of course

[cerulean sable]

also exposing yourself to a thousand fans whos giving their own opinions and expectations is going to just end you up distracted

and thats not even interacting with them yet

[marsh ibex]

really that’s my main criticism of the news cycle it’s really badly consolidated if you aren’t in the discord server

[twin bough]

True i only joined a few days before

[cerulean sable]

that being said i do wished comms was a bit better as its been said to death but i fucking laugh at people saying "dude we just want an update every month saying theyre alive, how bad is that?" because it usually just devolves to "ok nice update but can you give us a release window?" anyway

yeah actually

but the thing is TC doesnt wanna do a blog so 🥴

[marsh ibex]

which is weird

they have the means and it’s not like people didn’t go to them

[lone lichen]

the worst part of the silksong news cycle is the one really asshurt game rant writer

[buoyant pelican]

Team Cherry posts AND updates even less on their Facebook page, I believe

[lone crown]

“They’re emotionally manipulating us because they’re sociopaths”

[marsh ibex]

I guess we knew blogs were dead cuz riddles were effectively a blogpost

[cerulean sable]

honestly yeah Game Rant is our finaly boss

[cerulean sable]

i hate this logic so much

also the stupid overused joke

[lone crown]

If you can even call it “logic”

[cerulean sable]

"GUYS WHAT IF THEY WANTED TO DELAY SILKSONG JUST SO THEY CAN TOY WITH US"

more like what if they delayed Silksong because its not up to their standards yet given the insane amount of hype

[marsh ibex]

same company that kept the game they could’ve easily slung for 30 a pop and no one would complain

but nah now they enjoy pain and suffering apparently

[twin bough]

The people who act like that dont deserve the game when it releases

[cerulean sable]

also i saw someone arguing if they communicated more, then people wont be this rabid because hype and expectations would be a lot more moderate but i dont think whats actually gonna happen eitherway

[lone lichen]

tc are evil satan people (this was revealed to me in a dream)

[lone crown]

What’s crazy was I believe they were actually going to make it ten dollars until someone advised them otherwise

[cerulean sable]

oh dont worry we already have people saying they dont care about HK anymore with how frustrated they are and they wont buy the game

100% they fucking will

[twin bough]

Yup!

[buoyant pelican]

How often do they post/tweet on Twitter (now called X)? Not whole lot either, right?

[chilly nexus]

Na that gamerant guy LOVES that SS isn't out yet. If it was, how else would he be generating so many clicks?

[marsh ibex]

never, basically

they might retweet a few things

gamers don’t know how to protest

[cerulean sable]

wait slightly better quality

[marsh ibex]

Tale as old as time

or well, internet people don’t know how to protest

[unborn dome]

who knows if it’s even tc themselves running the Twitter account

[marsh ibex]

Considering teamcherryganes was taken down but games wasn’t

[sinful flare]

cant you check from hk's steam page or silksong's steam page

[marsh ibex]

Have to assume that it’s them

[sinful flare]

im sure they have a twitter link attached on the sidebar

[unborn dome]

I’m talking more like having some random guy do it for them

[marsh ibex]

So…Leth?

[lone lichen]

being unhappy with how tc has managed communication is understandable but most people who come in here upset just complain, make no effort to understand or do anything constructive, and disappear until the next time they complain

[unborn dome]

yeah, I guess

[marsh ibex]

I dunno why they’d even delegate thst

Not like sending tweets is that intensive

[cerulean sable]

its fine to be frustrated and it makes sense to be less invested but given time people will care more about the end product anyway than wtv risks/effort was taken throughout the development

its the unfortunate same way for any other indie games, you can mention how much hard work you worked on the game, how much time you invested to fix bugs, but the moment you dont polish it to the T on release, people will always still go back to the same statement:

"Was this game even playtested? I feel like the devs were just lazy"

[lone crown]

There’s this one individual in my mind you’re perfectly describing, that’s the funniest part

[marsh ibex]

I feel that’s more of a triple A thing

[cerulean sable]

nah ive seen it to some indie games too

[marsh ibex]

People have way more leeway with indies

[lone lichen]

and i have no idea who it is

[cerulean sable]

AAA games its pretty much a given

[marsh ibex]

Your mother

Bazinga

[serene chasm]

Hi friends

[cerulean sable]

theres leeway yeah but its definitely still a thing

[marsh ibex]

[foggy heath]

I am first place

[buoyant pelican]

Git good!

[serene chasm]

What do aaa games do more then Indies?

[cerulean sable]

budget creates expectation

[lone lichen]

shitty monetization

[cerulean sable]

and expectation creates higher standards

[unborn dome]

focus on having un optimized hyper realistic graphics over more important things like gameplay and story

[lone crown]

Bigger dev team = release sooner

[cerulean sable]

theres definitely a lot of good AAA games and a lot of bad Indie games, its probably just survivorship bias

[sinful flare]

it leads to TeamCherryGames, on hk's steam page

[cerulean sable]

but AAA being prevalent with microtransactions is just weird

[sinful flare]

so it is official

[steady sage]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

[olive bobcat]

man

the memcho avatar is going perfectly aside from the hair

and the face but i basically just use the default woman face for everything

[sinful flare]

ayyy nice

[steady sage]

my first win

[sinful flare]

which character n difficulty

[steady sage]

railgunner, rainstorm

[sinful flare]

nice

[cerulean sable]

God please i remember that "HK only took 2 years to make Silksong shouldnt take more than that and its an indie game"

like dude just because its indie doesnt mean they only take 2 years to make lmao

[lone crown]

No way people say that shit

[olive bobcat]

SS is worse than Garten of Banban because there's more Garten of Banbans than SSs

[marsh ibex]

me when game come out wuick and fairly unoptimized

[cerulean sable]

they have this warped perception that just because its smaller means its faster to make then do shit like demand for more content

[lone crown]

I believe the worst I’ve heard was “it’s a 2D game, it should be done by now”

[cerulean sable]

not making this up, i remember if it was in this or the subreddit where someone came in saying HK only took 2 years

and now they have an engine and SS being more or less the same, it shouldnt take a lot of time

[twin bough]

Yeah i think i remember that one

[cerulean sable]

that too

gamers loves being entitled like the devs owe them a game

because I BOUGHT your first game that means I AM your customer and as a customer i DESERVE satisfaction and info

[olive bobcat]

I think that was here

[cerulean sable]

yeah i vaguely remember it was here

[lone crown]

Isn’t it the exact opposite though? As in, isn’t 2D animation more time-consuming than 3D animation

[cerulean sable]

gamers have a weird perception and expectation

[lone crown]

It would vary depending on the game though so they’re not comparable actually

[cerulean sable]

3D in general is "a lot easier" because you model one and just do animations with it (not saying its easy to animate, but the process is a lot more reusable)

i guess its less about difficulty and more about how more effort needs to be done

3d is like i made one animation and i can reuse it on humanoids

2d is like i have to draw everyone their own sprite for most of the part

i mean some 2d games dont have to and can still reuse stuff

but HK is not one of those 2d games

[lone crown]

Ari’s hand cramps

Doesn’t it take them around a week on average to create a boss fight

[cerulean sable]

Ari is probably an art machine at this point

and hes not drawing too many frames for most parts

not undermining his efforts

[lone lichen]

me? i'm personally owed a 2020 silksong release that's the best game ever with weekly updates throughout development because i bought hollow knight several years after it came out

[cerulean sable]

but if he draw all the sprites into higher FPS its gonna take A LOT longer most likely

which is why afaik they used this animation fps because its a good inbetween of allowing them to work fast and still looking smooth

TRUE

[lone crown]

The FPS should remain untouched imo

[atomic sparrow]

the garten of PEAKPEAK

[inland ravine]

So anyway I appear

[cerulean sable]

there are times tho in the trailer

that i wished Hornet had more animation frames

but honestly its probably not an issue when you play it

or maybe its because hornet does those acrobatic spin moves that makes it more noticeable

[fleet temple]

I just remembered the old riddle characters and looking at the gifs made me really hyped again

[marsh ibex]

Silksong will have underwater sections and she’ll move by using the umbrella cloak ability in reverse

like a jellyfish

[kindred pewter]

riddle school characters?

[atomic sparrow]

silk

[marsh ibex]

she has a flashback to monomon and remembers cloak umbrella

[fleet temple]

no, the ss riddle characters

[kindred pewter]

oh you mean riddle characters as in silksong nvm im dumb

[fleet temple]

That seth fight looked so damn cool

[olive bobcat]

The fight honestly looks so sick

[kindred pewter]

fighting a boss with a parry and block

[cerulean sable]

honestly speaking of parry

[slate wagon]

seth kinda makes me scared for endgame, ina good way
cause he's so damn fast

[lone crown]

Like this?

[atomic sparrow]

is that goku

[cerulean sable]

how do you all feel about making parries add to stagger but for twice the value

like stagger is procced by x amount of hits not damage in HK at least

certain attacks like great sword swipes being parried would add +2 or x2 to the stagger amount of the boss

[fleet temple]

goddamnit now I really want to play this game

[lone crown]

Would make them more worth using instead of dodging yea

[cerulean sable]

so like for example

let say Sly has 20 hits before staggering

parrying his normal attack is +1? then certain attacks like the greatslash would add like +4

[iron spear]

Man fuck TC seriously. Where is the blog update

[lone crown]

Is Seth confirmed endgame? I forgot his placement but I do remember speculation on his boss fight taking place a little bit after the bridge Hornet breaks in the beginning

[atomic sparrow]

man fuck TC seriously, whjere's silksong?

[unkempt agate]

Patience

[marsh ibex]

it’s under there

[fleet temple]

Some people theorise it takes place below the fight with lace near the elevator

[olive bobcat]

I've been patient enough maybe TC should deliver

[unkempt agate]

Play blasphemous 2 for now

[atomic sparrow]

under where ?

[cerulean sable]

graig you should pause the game

and make the villain do a 5 minute long speech

about philosphy or some shit

but you actually skip it by punching the shit out of them

[grand ferry]

do a witness and play an hour long film

[cerulean sable]

seriously i heard witness is a good game but at certain points its apparently very pretentious

[coarse leaf]

I need amine recowmendatiowns🥺🥺🥺

[cunning geode]

mushi-shi

done

[silver oak]

sakamoto days

[inland ravine]

your pfp scares me

[cunning geode]

i said we're done

[silver oak]

wait no, no anime yet

[indigo nymph]

make it 15 minutes with a lot of off topic rants and if u punch him the fight gets 5 times harder and unlocks the bad ending

[silver oak]

read the manga

[cunning geode]

okay respectable

dont even know what sakamoto days is

but i respect the "read the source first"

[silver oak]

it goes HARD is what

[cunning geode]

looks cool

im not really an anime enjoyer though

but looks cool

[olive bobcat]

Imma be honest

I couldn't get super into Sakamoto Days

[cunning geode]

oh shit actually watch Dorohedoro

[olive bobcat]

I tried the first two volumes and it didn't stick with me

[silver oak]

epic art but huge spoilers to anyone reading

[olive bobcat]

Why doesn't he just die? Is he stupid?

Oshi no Ko fans where are you I need an opinion

[inland ravine]

[lofty robin]

Is silksong out yet?

[inland ravine]

nope

[olive bobcat]

No

[lofty robin]

Sad

[flat remnant]

Hello

[olive bobcat]

All the hair options look like shit for Memcho, I need your thoughts on which looks better

[flat remnant]

Send them?

[inland ravine]

her smile is givng me a nightmare

and i love it :)

[olive bobcat]

I also can't use the basic anime faces because the head shape, so every woman has the default woman face

I think imma stick with the yellow one

Even if it looks kinda shit, it's more accurate

I think if it had a good face it would be more redeemable

[hazy summit]

Life is roblox

Don't let nothing stop you

[flat remnant]

First hair is better, she has more bangs in the anime

[serene chasm]

Is that a character from something?

[olive bobcat]

Oshi no Ko

[serene chasm]

I see

[carmine island]

Yes

[fleet temple]

I don't get why people ask those questions here

Like does steam just not exist?

[carmine island]

Lol yeah

[lofty robin]

Oh thank goodness i was tired of waiting

[carmine island]

If Silksong was out we’d all be celebrating

[hazy summit]

Silksong hasnt released yet

[lofty robin]

Im on xbox

[hazy summit]

Hope the helps

[carmine island]

There would be news on Silksong if it was released

[shell yacht]

[fleet temple]

Does Xbox not have a digital store?

[hazy summit]

Eated all the news

[kindred pewter]

who is she again?

[carmine island]

No clue

[lofty robin]

No

[hazy summit]

Bruh

I’m thinking about getting Baldur’s gate 3

[lusty horizon]

Oh

I bought oneshot merch and got a silksong bonus

Wtf

Looks really pretty

[grand ferry]

sick

[quiet knot]

From what store did you buy that from?

[lusty horizon]

Fangamer

Because onsehot is in there too

The actual thing I bought

[quiet knot]

oh that looks cool

[chilly nexus]

This art by Ari?

[chilly nexus]

also: snow monastery confirmed

[flat remnant]

Wtf oneshot i just drew that

[lone crown]

Yes… YES…

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[patent heath]

Ok that's so cool.

[lone crown]

I will have victory

I will be right

The Snow Monastery is upon us

[serene chasm]

snow monastery fight where the blood stays on the snow

[lone crown]

You know, the snow monastery would make sense environment-wise

It could be the source of all the rivers and lakes in the kingdom, especially if it’s at the top and the snow starts to melt

And hey, it could be a valid reason for the Deep Docks coals to be shipped, perfect for heating

[torpid orchid]

hello

[lone crown]

Hello

[foggy heath]

hello

[lone crown]

What else could they possibly use the coals for

I know we haven’t seen much of the game but I don’t think we’ve seen anything powered by coal (or anything that would require some)

[fleet temple]

Honestly I hate snow monastery

[lone crown]

So then why ship it to the citadel?

[lone crown]

What don’t you like about it

[fleet temple]

The name

that's it

just the name

[lone crown]

Oh, the name isn’t something I officially decided on

It was just a way of describing how I pictured it

I’m sure there are at least 15 better names

But I’m no genius with titles

[fleet temple]

yeah, just doesn't sound hollow knight-y

I still don't really know what it exactly is

[lone crown]

To be fair we have simple area names like Moss Grotto but it fits a lot better, and just sounds nice

[fleet temple]

yeah

[young cove]

silksong is coming out tomorrow my orb told me so

[prisma meteor]

we don't wanna hear about your orb it's not appropriate

[lone crown]

I envision it as a religious building way up above, its interior having an orange hue with candles inside it, and monk-type NPCs/enemies. I imagine it’s where Shakra’s tribe/clan would reside in, possibly.

As for the exterior, the environment would be much harsher, and you’d have to deal with beast-type enemies in the snow, and atop the whole building there would be a silk ball statue like we see everywhere else in the game

I’d say it could work, or at least, the concept of having a snowy region high above Pharloom, wouldn’t be too farfetched

[fleet temple]

Interesting

[lone crown]

By “monks” I mean enemies that look like Elder Hu and Shakra in terms of uniform

[fleet temple]

I love when people come up with their own fan made areas for ss

[lone crown]

Probably my proudest and most well-known rambling

We had pseudo-snow (Kingdom’s Edge) before, why not actual snow

[fleet temple]

yeah

I actually had a similar concept for an area like that in my head

[lone crown]

And no I don’t want there to be ice physics

It looks a lot cooler in my head than I could possibly describe using words

[fleet temple]

exactly, I like ice areas when they have more to them other than "yeah, snow"

[lone crown]

Snow provides a source for the bodies of water in the game, and the Deep Dock coals make sense, it’d fit like a puzzle piece

[fleet temple]

nice

I thought of an idea for a similar area, based in the outskirts of Pharloom, but instead of monks, it was where the steel assasins were located

[lone crown]

Would be cool yea

[prisma meteor]

hornet is just arrietty with a horseshoe head smh why do you guys like her game

[lone crown]

We already know Sharpe isn’t from Pharloom, and since there’s a group of these assassins what if there’s a camp made by them outside (before their mission)?

It could be relatively small, but cool nonetheless

[fleet temple]

That's what I was thinking, a small camp area where they base out of in Pharloom

I hope we get more areas like the soul sanctum in ss, sub areas with their own music and unique enemies

[lone crown]

Yeah I doubt a foreign assassin group would step foot into a kingdom and just be allowed to set up a base and operations unless specifically hired or told to do so

[lone crown]

Traveling all the way to a foreign kingdom to assassinate a dangerous individual sounds like an unreasonable goal without a place for them to rest

[river thicket]

True,

[fleet temple]

Especially since there's quite a few of them

[lone crown]

We know of three so far

Sharpe, the floating thing in the coral region, and a silhouette of a very short one

[cerulean sable]

silksong should have shore raiding

[lone crown]

Yes

[fleet temple]

Honestly they're one of the things I'm most interested in

[lone crown]

You see massive six-legged behemoth bugs rise from the shores with twelve spear-wielding bugs on each of them as they charge into a port

[lone crown]

Valid

Steel Soul Jinn looks awfully similar to them as well, their entire group is suspicious

I had this one theory but it’s a bit too bold

[cerulean sable]

true true

[fleet temple]

Yeah, and it's very unlikely they're connected to the bell cult of Pharloom at all

[lone crown]

The fuck do they want from Hornet

As in, why kill her

[wind marsh]

They wanna do the ritual

[wind marsh]

A blood ritual

[lone crown]

In fact why does everyone want to kill Hornet

[fleet temple]

exactly

[wind marsh]

Mind control

[lone crown]

Why was she captured to begin with

[wind marsh]

Sleeping

[lone crown]

I bet all of these questions have the same answer

[wind marsh]

And that would be? (I just got here)

[lone crown]

Do you think I’ve played Silksong

I’m just pondering over the unanswered shit

[wind marsh]

Of course not but you were theorizing before I got here so I kinda just assumed

[lone crown]

Ah

[olive bobcat]

Oh wait actual SS discussion, I'm outta here

[lone crown]

Nah you can stay

I give you permission (mods can kill me instead)

[wind marsh]

I know it’s a miracle

[lone crown]

No but seriously what does Hornet have that nobody else does

To the point where assassins knew of her already unknown reason for capture and set off to Pharloom, on top of characters like Lace threatening to murder her

[wind marsh]

She’s the only daughter of the king?

[lone crown]

I bet once she broke away from the cage they went on high-alert and hired the assassins

[lone crown]

Well true

But I don’t think that inherently does anything

Maybe they just want as many silk-producers as possible?

We can’t forget the weavers have a big role in the game

[wind marsh]

Maybe they got an order from a higher being to capture Hornet since she is the daughter of the king

So they could mind control her and legally rule Hallownest

[fleet temple]

What higher being would care about ruling a dead kingdom

[wind marsh]

One that wants expansion

Maybe they want the crystals

[lone crown]

In the PS4/5 header for Silksong, it says “Become the Princess Knight”

[wind marsh]

That makes no sense

[fleet temple]

Yeah but keep in mind there are still groups within Hallownest who probably wouldn't take kindly to this "expansion"

[lone crown]

I don’t know if this refers to anything in-game or playing as a princess knight

[wind marsh]

Ah yes Mantis warriors in one area and Deepnest which you wouldn’t want anyway

[lone crown]

Idk it just sounds worded as an “objective” of sorts

But probably just me misinterpreting it

[fleet temple]

Also I highly doubt that will be the reason she was captured anyway considering TC said that players won't have to play hk to play ss

[lone crown]

Since the question of why we were captured may not be answered til some major event, we should talk about this major event itself and if it’s been foreshadowed

[wind marsh]

I mean that doesn’t discredit my theory though

[lone crown]

I want to bring up the leitmotif in the game’s music and even some of its audio cues

About the Dies Irae, which is a bad omen of sorts

[fleet temple]

Your theory essentially ties the reason for the plot of ss back to the first game, so it kinda does

[lone crown]

And Pharloom’s Folly adds to my suspicion that something fucked up’s gonna happen

[wind marsh]

Ok yeah that makes sense

[dusty nimbus]

Final boss is a female jewel wasp

[wind marsh]

What insects do you think will be in the game?

[wind marsh]

Now that sounds like a good enemy

[lone crown]

-Hornet is important enough to be captured
-There are several individuals attempting to kill her
-Foreshadowing from the beginning poem and audio

It’s all connected

To this one disaster

That we have yet to see

[wind marsh]

I think we will see Beetles idk as an enemy or ally though (since in 1v1 situations they’re the toughest insect to take down)

[lone crown]

And my guess is

Weaver rebellion

[dusty nimbus]

Real + imaginary ones and hard shelled organisms

[wind marsh]

Ok we will see if you are correct

[lone crown]

Absolute slaughter as angry weavers and others of the sort destroy the natural order of things, which also keep wildlife in general unchecked

[dusty nimbus]

Jeweled wasps lay eggs on spiders and the eggs grow up by eating the spider

[lone crown]

But that’s just a crazy guess

[wind marsh]

We might see different ant colonies as well like Leafcutter or Tree ants

[lone crown]

The coral region will burn

[dusty nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/game-theory-game-theory-its-just-a-theory-game-theorists-gif-20883020

[wind marsh]

Now that’s interesting

[dusty nimbus]

Nooooooooo my favorite colored region

[lone crown]

(I only say this cause there’s a photo of a sandy region and a coral region that look similar)

It could be one of many of the fucked up events

[fleet temple]

Sandy region?

[lone crown]

Let me show you

[lone crown]

Maybe?

[fleet temple]

Ohhh, that one
land of storms knockoff

[lone crown]

Might be a stretch but who knows

[dusty nimbus]

Fucked up event: You mostly get to do quests with someone and communicate with them only at the end of the game to get cursed with a disease by a shaman and it triggers Hornet's ptsd

[lone crown]

Fucked up event: Ballow murders everybody and reveals his true identity as the Deep Dock Proletarian

[fleet temple]

The architecture in the back of the first image actually looks kind of similar

[dusty nimbus]

I'm pretty sure that's Greymourn but they do look similar

[dusty nimbus]

Deep Rock Galactic

[lone crown]

Nah Greymoor is the scary region with the coffins (and likely some other notable environments)

The coffin area is cool actually

The bird-like enemies there are actually seen butchered in Ass Jim’s arena

[dusty nimbus]

Greymourn is pretty large and having on the bottom of it huge pillars to show it supports the weight of higher areas is cool

[lone crown]

True

[lone crown]

We see another dead jim in that same arena, is it part of the background or do we fight two of them?

[dusty nimbus]

They're not birds they just got long mouths just like Cornifer (mosquito) did

[lone crown]

Yeah, “bird-like”

They’re cool though

[dusty nimbus]

Honestly we've not seen that many flying enemies

[lone crown]

GOD I need this game

[dusty nimbus]

Like most just hover

[lone crown]

I kinda disagree with you

We’ve seen at least 15

[dusty nimbus]

In HK

[lone crown]

Oh

[dusty nimbus]

I've seen in ss and I'm happy about it

[dusty nimbus]

Sorry I didn't clarify it

[lone crown]

Yeah they seem to be a lot more versatile

[dusty nimbus]

There seem to also be flying npcs

[lone crown]

Flying NPCs?

What NPC flies?

[dusty nimbus]

That one bell town where an npc just goes up to another shop

[lone crown]

Oh that dude

[chilly nexus]

this idea did not get enough follow-up discussion ||granted, it does speak for itself||

[lone crown]

Oh I didn’t see that

[dusty nimbus]

I'd like if generally the white flowers could be stained and the environment is interactive but honestly that's too much work for a big map

[lone crown]

Everyone should pool their ideas into one big snow monastery concept doc one day and if it’s ever being worked on as a mod, a lot of the creative groundwork would be already fulfilled

[lone crown]

Having stains on them doesn’t sound impossible to create

Just slight splash on the sprites of the floor and the first layer of background

Some enemies bleed this dark purple color

[dusty nimbus]

Under the snow there's pink-red colored sand since crushed shells tend to appear as pink-red colored sand on a sandy beach thus the monastery is on top a shellfish grave

[lone crown]

Monastery is made out of shellfish

But of course not every idea would be implemented

Otherwise it’d be too much

[dusty nimbus]

Imagine if the snow is actually volcanic ash from the volcanic activity at bonebottom

[lone crown]

How would the ash even get up there and not someplace else, considering it’s at the very bottom

[dusty nimbus]

Probably the center of volcanic activity is someplace else since ash is created when there's a big fire or the volcano itself erupts

[lone crown]

Hm

I’d prefer actual snow and not another KE but not an inherently bad idea nonetheless

[sacred stratus]

Hi

[lone crown]

It is a made-up region so any interpretation is fine

[lone crown]

Hello

[dusty nimbus]

Then what if the coral region had water and as you said it was burnt and the snow monetary was a long time after the main story took place and its a dlc where all the water starts to turn into snow?

[dusty nimbus]

Hi Frosty how are you doing?

[lone crown]

[sacred stratus]

Just woke up

[flat remnant]

Do you guys ever achieve something and think about it for the rest of the day knowing damn well there's no way to recreate that success at least not for a bit

[vale temple]

yes

[lone crown]

Yes

[kindred pewter]

yes

[sacred stratus]

If you are talking about your drawing then yes it did

[olive bobcat]

Yeah I had a damn good run of Drive Cars Down a Hill to the Free Bird solo

[vale temple]

frostyy check my drawing

[sacred stratus]

Send

[vale temple]

#art-discussion message

[sacred stratus]

Frosty if I might say

[manic abyss]

I slept at 3am, woke up to a nightmare, couldn't sleep so I decided to just continue my day

also I'm sick so my body physically isn't letting me sleep

[flat remnant]

It did what?

[vale temple]

did

[flat remnant]

did

[vale temple]

@grand ferry are we playing soon

[sacred stratus]

I mean yes things like these did happen to me

[flat remnant]

I haven't even drawn anything since and i know for a fact it's a tough act to follow

[vale temple]

you didnt draw anything for some hours

[manic abyss]

aluo, have you watched the Gotcha music video released by Pokemon?

[flat remnant]

10 is more than some

[vale temple]

youre going to burn yourself out if you dont take breaks

[flat remnant]

funny thing about that i was extremely burnt out both times i was working on it

At 3 am because i wasn't sure what to do next at 11 am since i had trouble shading and when i was finishing the backgrounds because effects are weird

[manic abyss]

you finished your drawing?

[flat remnant]

A while ago yeah

[manic abyss]

I wanna see it

[manic abyss]

ooooo
that's actually very good

8.9/10

[flat remnant]

and i live in pain knowing i won't make something of that quality for a bit 🥹

[vale temple]

thats uh
interesting tumblr name cat

[manic abyss]

eh, you never know

[flat remnant]

ignore that sof

[vale temple]

ok crappy cat the tabby cat

[flat remnant]

I needed to watermark it because reasons

[manic abyss]

your next drawing might be as good or even better

[flat remnant]

My next one will definitely be simpler
