uke

[coarse leaf]

hornet seems like the analytical type itd make sense for her to just keep her own journal of the things she encounters

[olive bobcat]

I should make a movie

[silver oak]

I want more TC cutscenes

[modest night]

chat im making cookies again btw

[thin trench]

Make idk the emoji movie 2

[modest night]

im very sad that i never took pics of my dreamer shaped biscuits

[uncut citrus]

can i have one pleasssse?

[silver oak]

Aside from the opening and endings, there's only 1 in HK itself I think

They're really cool and Ari is a great artist

[thin trench]

And make it to where people actually think it is good

[coarse leaf]

if you dont count the short little scenes of each dreamer seal breaking yeah

[warm steeple]

Whats silksong

[olive bobcat]

https://youtu.be/qxZH9-E8joQ?list=OLAK5uy_mVYoD0_4dV-jmqSWxVx6zIP2KtFMOPVl4

[cunning geode]

yeah more cutscenes would be cool just keep them sparse and special

[lament lotus]

silksong will be an earthbound inspired rpg with 25 endings

[modest night]

it's the planned sequel for hollow knight

we have no release date before you ask

[cunning geode]

and the dreamer cutscenes technically but they’re so short

[lament lotus]

FR all his animations are amazing

[wide quartz]

earthbound mentioned

[thin trench]

The prequel or sequel to hollow knight

[lament lotus]

i summone chaos

[wide quartz]

oh its silksong talk

[twin bough]

Aluo one of your twitter posts just got pushed to my personal accounts timeline waddahell

[opaque sigil]

Aluo going viral

[charred surge]

A concept I like is having these sorts of journals but seeing different kinds of people make the notes and seeing the different characterizations; a thing I’m actually tryna do in art-disc is making a “cook’s journal”, which is taking the hk enemies but instead of Hunter’s 3edgy5me notes (disclaimer, I love the Hunter 🫀), it’s written by an optimistic cook. I just like seeing how multiple perspectives could come from describing the same thing.

[twin bough]

I dont follow anything related to hk

[modest night]

i think you all should get dinner for the delay's one year anniversary that's coming up soon

[silver oak]

I follow a few HK related stuff

[twin bough]

This is the second time something like this has happened

[coarse leaf]

also just from looking at the environments in the trailers team cherry has learned a lot since their already great art direction and visual design in hollow knight, so seeing that in more cutscenes would be neat

[silver oak]

Ara followed me on twitter on the DSN account but not his personal one for some reason

[olive bobcat]

Might've been because Ara replied

[twin bough]

Yeah but

[fiery burrow]

This is pretty much Awoken Dream Nail

[twin bough]

I dont follow them

I follow literally nothing related to hk

[coarse leaf]

seeing the environments in silksong is honestly one of the things im most excited for, the glimpses we’ve got from promo material look stunning

[silver oak]

Yeah there are a few moments from the trailers that seem to be effectively cutscenes, without leaving the FOV of the game

[thin trench]

If you don't know what hollow knight is or how to beat it then there is this very funny and really king youtuber called windette

[dusty nimbus]

Snow monestary

[thin trench]

He does tutorials

[silver oak]

Like the weaver scene at the end of the reveal trailer or that room with the scissors where hornet commits murder

[lament lotus]

what the fyck she tall as hell

[fiery burrow]

I like it when games do this

I don't like when they take away control of the player every 5 seconds for a cutscene or something

[charred surge]

A sense you can kinda get sometimes is just how huge Pharloom feels; greymoor was already described as one of TC’s largest areas they’ve worked on yet, but some of the backgrounds iirc depict just truly huge open spaces, kinda in contrast to Hallownest’s much tighter caverns, which were already presented as huge themselves.

[coarse leaf]

even the more “dead” areas weve seen- which imo were the least visually appealing places in hollow knight -are really pretty looking

[silver oak]

Overall the color scheme is brighter and the detail is greater

[fiery burrow]

Everywhere is a City of Tears!

[silver oak]

It's a beautiful game

[thin trench]

I am gonna go watch windette

Cause he is funny and definitely kind

[modest night]

me when the blur machine

[fiery burrow]

First mod I am installing after completing the game is noblur

[silver oak]

we see headlines like "backgrounds saved from blur machine" but never stop to question why the blur machine is there in the first place

[coarse leaf]

the fact pharloom is a civlization under threat of death but not a long-dead civilization like hallownest was is a setting contrast im also excited to see

[charred surge]

I’ve heard that the blur of some backgrounds might be to help bring more focus to gameplay itself and present distraction or confusion during combat or sumn; tbh it’s sad we might not see some backgrounds in their fully glory, but it could very well be a necessity

[modest night]

it seems to depend on console limitation+nahhh i get to decide what's good or bad for my gameplay experience

[silver oak]

blur slider

[fiery burrow]

The dead kingdom complimented HK well but I am glad that we get to see a kingdom in its prime this time

[charred surge]

Yeah, even with Pharloom being described as in decline, it still seems infinitely more alive than Hallownest is by the events of the game.

[heavy magnet]

i'm interested to see how I feel about it - a more living world rather than the melancholy emptiness and ruin of the first

triple replies

[modest night]

i still really don't get what was up with that ugly ass grey filter in the xbox trailer tbh

[tawdry valley]

https://tenor.com/view/anakin-liar-star-wars-lying-gif-8634649

[silver oak]

The only actual residents of Hallownest are either in Dirtmouth, crazy warrior survivalists, or just completely insane

[coarse leaf]

sort of reminds me of the contrast between the settings in the dark souls games and the setting in elden ring, where in elden ring rather than civilization having effectively collapsed its more like its still alive but horribly wartorn

[silver oak]

shandow........

[tawdry valley]

Fucking jinxed it

[heavy magnet]

...yeah, that does about cover it

[cunning geode]

the fact pharloom is a dead-end society where no-life-nerds go to promote their snake oil sales makes me really excited to let hornet fall into lava and die

[charred surge]

Tbh, when people talk about how long Silksong is takes, this is what I think of, with just how much huger Silksong will be; how larger Pharloom physically will be, the facts it’s much more lively and vibrant, and even stuff like Hornet contributing to a lot more dialogue.

[modest night]

im not saying this as a crazy doomer thing but i wouldn't be suprised if it didn't really release at all ngl, like not in a bad way just in a neutral one

[heavy magnet]

see lava is one thing that would have felt out of place in the first one, glad it's not there
too colorful and lively

[modest night]

cool thought experiments in this chat whenever we try to extrapolate what mechanics will be like tho

[silver oak]

I can't see this view as anything but doomerism sorry

[coarse leaf]

same

[modest night]

bestie it's been a year since the delay with no word from them....

[tawdry valley]

How will TC balance rosary strings

[cunning geode]

how will TC balance on my tightrope of doom

[modest night]

i think rosary strings would suck so im removing them from my imaginary silksong

[heavy magnet]

TC staging the most elaborate suicide by irate game fan scheme ever

[tawdry valley]

I see next to no reason to not tie all my stuff together - even if it’s at like a 10% commission.

[silver oak]

how will TC solve my riddles three

[charred surge]

Aren’t those just basically the geo rock deposits or is this joshin around

[olive bobcat]

@haughty ingot

[tawdry valley]

Huh? No you can just make your own relics basically

[coarse leaf]

theres been tons of games where communication with the community has fallen through but they still release, saying “it might just not release” feels a little excessive

[haughty ingot]

[cunning geode]

every copy of silksong is personalized your silksong will have hundreds of unlockable pickups and dead babies

[olive bobcat]

Do something really funny

[tawdry valley]

Yummers

[olive bobcat]

Make it say yes and then say there's no news during the video

[charred surge]

Ohh I confused that with rosary caches

[modest night]

i really will never get why this chat must treat every sentence said in it like it's in the bible and has to be the objective truth

[frigid cipher]

i'm honestly just annoyed that the community isn't kept in the loop. i understand that it's a small team but i feel like they could at least hire like a community manager or something idk

[modest night]

like it's why there are so many arguments here about why tc is great and shit

[silver oak]

they have one, sort of

[coarse leaf]

thats not what i was doing at all what

[tawdry valley]

No game community is kept in the loop. The game isn’t early access or something

[fiery burrow]

TC hasn't been doing exceptionally good or bad with marketing

[silver laurel]

the T in team cherry stands for Toes

[fiery burrow]

They're just normal

[charred surge]

They are a third, secret thing

[fiery burrow]

They don't need to give news every year and thats not indicative of the game not coming out

[modest night]

i mean yeah it's just like, me saying that i like when we imagine things about the game we have 2 minutes of gameplay of in a chat and saying that i ultimately would be neutral if it released or not because they wanted to be done with it a year ago but haven't said a word isn't really some sort of weird sentence everyone has to prove is dooming

[silver laurel]

Hi soni a

[modest night]

i don't know, i really don't like how people constantly get on high horses here whenever someone just asks for the release date like it's some insane thing

[tawdry valley]

The goal of a marketing push for an indie game sequel has been and always will be to reach new audiences.
If you are in this channel, you are immediately the worst possible person to spend money and potential hype on.

[opaque sigil]

They’ve been exceptionally effective

[modest night]

hiiiii bestie what bugs do you have for me today

[fiery burrow]

Marketing isn't accurate - more communication

[cunning geode]

are you the bugs larry

[olive bobcat]

TC should let me do marketing tbh

[opaque sigil]

That’s not a meaningful thing to evaluate

[silver oak]

I really don't like when people say that the silence means Leth isn't doing his job
I see it less here but pretty often on the reddit, especially around events
It ultimately falls on the development team to relay info about the game, Leth acts as the middle-man, not the source

[frigid cipher]

i've def seen it handled worse but there's tons of games that have way more communication that i wish was present here. i'm not even saying like regular updates or anything just at least like log onto twitter and say something stupid like "silksong soon™️"

[fiery burrow]

It is but its not worth critiquing no matter what they do

[coarse leaf]

wasnt trying to prove anything i was just saying how i feel about the sentiment, sorry if it came off like that

[opaque sigil]

There’s no standard for what is good or bad communication, people just treat whatever they personally want as what’s correct

[tawdry valley]

Name one game that spent 5 years in development with 5 yearly announcements.

[silver laurel]

This is a cheese fly or a stink fly. The only awl fly found in the US! it smells really bad to attract other flies which it consumes

[fiery burrow]

They've done fine with lots of blogposts and trailers and the edge mag and stuff

[tawdry valley]

Totk got what, 2 “sorry no TOTK” and then a release date trailer?

[stark estuary]

Spoiler tag please and thanks

[tawdry valley]

And that’s a Nintendo flagship title

[coarse leaf]

yeah, thats something ill always think is wildly lame, people acting like leth is doing his job wrong or something is very very dumb

[silver laurel]

Well its a little late now

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/cheese-wallace-and-gromit-excited-food-gif-9581035

[silver oak]

It's been long enough that I get the hesitation

[modest night]

yeah im not mad at you in particular honestly i just don't really like how this chat gets in general and idk how to talk about it

[tawdry valley]

The peak of Silksong hype was its announcement. If Tc could have justified a 5 year wait for a dlc, they would have.

[charred surge]

The moon is made of flies

[coarse leaf]

i get it, this chat can def be frustrating sometimes

[tawdry valley]

The Xbox trailer is functionally our first trailer.

[modest night]

like the whole picking fight with strangers who ask about silksong news and that makes them inevitably say wrong stuff because they haven't logged here everyday and aren't up to date with all the info and urghhhhh

[cunning geode]

@silver laurel you’re gonna be an astronaut

[olive bobcat]

I think you guys would have more fun if you were mean to people

[opaque sigil]

idk if I would say that

[stark estuary]

You can delete and resend it with tags and take care to tag in the future, coming into the channel and seeing photos of bugs isn’t something everyone is comfortable with and it’s good to consider that

[fiery burrow]

Generally people just get ?sspsa -ed

[charred surge]

I think you can add spoilers as an edit without deleting

[fiery burrow]

Its more when people whine about TC's bad communication

[cunning geode]

but people also get bullied a lot

[opaque sigil]

If anything it’s more that the initial stuff functioned more as teasers

[stark estuary]

If that’s the case then it’s not too late, although it wouldn’t really be anyway

[silver oak]

discord set my status to idle for no reason, good job app

[silver laurel]

I don't think you can do that

[fiery burrow]

Maybe there will be a like "Why does everyone have #hk-announcements muted" but I don't think that qualifies as bullying

Not ideal but not horrific

[modest night]

like dude ive seen people getting mad at others just for saying they're frustrated it's not out like idk i think it's just annoying

[cunning geode]

it’s definitely gone further than that Star

[charred surge]

Just did some test and I think I’m wrong, sorry

[fiery burrow]

It probably has

I just don't think its the norm

[tawdry valley]

It’s calling you out

[modest night]

i think the whole pretending to be the better fan can stop after 5 years

[stark estuary]

I mean I didn’t think you could but it doesn’t really matter

[coarse leaf]

it has

[silver oak]

You can retroactively spoil text but not images I think

[stark estuary]

Thanks for double-checking in any case

[modest night]

bestie you sent it yesterday...

[olive bobcat]

Spoiler audio when

[modest night]

i think? unless it was another cheese animal

[silver laurel]

NOOOO

[cunning geode]

i saw the cheese fly yesterday that’s true

[opaque sigil]

It plays the censor beep

[silver laurel]

Wait

[coarse leaf]

running out of fresh bugs

[silver laurel]

Does it have to be a specific bug

[modest night]

no

[silver laurel]

Ok good

[fiery burrow]

If thats all they are saying yeah thats unreasonable

[stoic sigil]

hi chat

[patent forum]

hi

[fiery burrow]

Although its kinda weird to just say that you are frustrated about that out of nowhere in chat

[silver oak]

I don't think so

[stoic sigil]

Chat when is Hollow Knight 2

[silver oak]

A lot of people are frustrated with TC

[coarse leaf]

people can air out their grievances whenever they want

[fiery burrow]

With TC or the lack of news

[opaque sigil]

I mean
Not really according to server rules

[olive bobcat]

Let's tear down the HK Discord and build it up again

[stark estuary]

Chat when is Crowsworn

[stoic sigil]

SS should be delayed again so that we can keep posting in the server's best shitpost channel

[hasty trout]

Ss means sharp shadow discussion?

[fiery burrow]

The lack of news is frustrating but that's not TC's fault

[coral prawn]

?cspsa

[fiery burrow]

Its not their job to manage our emotions

[coral prawn]

Shame

[silver oak]

Kinda is lol

[opaque sigil]

It’s not

[unborn dome]

before silksong

[coarse leaf]

They do kinda have a connection

[twin bough]

Personally idc about whether theres news or not i have other things to do

[haughty ingot]

it kinda is though

[silver oak]

I mean, I understand why they aren't relaying info

[opaque sigil]

The only reason to be mad at the absence of news would be if tc had some obligation to provide it

[silver oak]

But it's still their responsibility to relay info

[hasty trout]

Im 250% sure that gta 6 will launch before ss (trust)

[silver oak]

No one else can do it

[opaque sigil]

(Which is what people claim when they complain)

[modest night]

like look all im saying is that maybe it's better to just tell the newbie in chat that no we don't know when it releases and not try to explain them how tc is a mastermind when they're disappointed about the game they're a fan of not being out

[stark estuary]

From a business standpoint there’s also enough hype behind the game that actively marketing it wouldn’t make a ton of sense

[silver oak]

how recently have you seen this happen sonia

[opaque sigil]

idk why people like steelmanning the people who complain about the absence of news but it’s generally not “oh gee I wish tc said more” it’s “tc has to say something, the fans are owed it”

[modest night]

didn't they have some useless fight yesterday about news again

[cunning geode]

that’s a real Valve move

[silver oak]

idk

[coarse leaf]

You cant have "enough" hype from a business standpoint lol

[silver oak]

I'm not here as much as I used to be so I might just be missing it

[opaque sigil]

For now there’s no real value to it

[coarse leaf]

i mean, it is to an extent, its not their fault whenever someone who goes on a “team cherry is mentally abusing their fans” rant pops up because thats unreasonable and silly, but long stretches with no news is reasonably frustrating to the majority of people and many game studios understand that. it’s team cherry’s choice how and when to divulge info but if its purposefully sparse then it is somewhat on them

[modest night]

all im saying is like, you can avoid those situations

[stark estuary]

And there isn’t a lack of information imo, you can criticize the inconsistent spread of information but you can’t in good faith claim that we don’t already know a lot about the game

[silver oak]

it often is avoided

[frigid cipher]

arguably i think the lack of news builds up more hype. everyone here is talking about the game and tc didn't even say anything

[coarse leaf]

Dont know when it comes out so thafs kinda hard to judge

[olive bobcat]

I think most people start arguing when people come in preaching about how bad TC's marketing and PR is

Like if someone comes in and starts going "Why the fuck can't they release this game"

[opaque sigil]

Once the date is announced it won’t really matter what the current condition is

[silver oak]

it's preaching both ways

neither side is really hearing the other

[fiery burrow]

I dont see how that makes it TC's fault really

[stoic sigil]

Team Cherry's Marketing team cornered me in an alleyway and stabbed me and stole my wallet, those guys suck

[full rune]

just release it, i want to enter a room and see a greybox and then post in #hk-lore why it could be grey and maybe it's a reference to the backrooms and omg it's cannon

[fiery burrow]

They aren't at fault for anything because nothing bad happens when they don't give news for long stretches of time

[hollow terrace]

Necro you have the power to cut this conversation short at this end

[coarse leaf]

Thats also just because youre in the minority fan community here tho lol

[silver oak]

???

[silver laurel]

Ok @modest night here's an insane bug fact, do you see those sticks below the wings of this crane fly? Those are evolved hind wings, called halteres! The bulb at the end of each stick is filled with fluid and sensitive hairs. They are essentially a biological gyroscope, allowing all flies to sense their orientation and make precise aerobatics.

[stark estuary]

No, what I said was that there’s enough hype that active marketing the game at this stage wouldn’t really make a ton of sense

[modest night]

idk i just feel like there is this scornful attitude towards people who don't know in general and i don't like it

[silver oak]

super speed among us

[warped rock]

if it came out like 5 years ago i think that would be true

[opaque sigil]

Eh it’s a pretty well documented thing that scarcity makes things feel more impactful

[cunning geode]

times like these remind me why i gotta not stick around here too long

[modest night]

why are they called halteres if they're not lifting weights

[fiery burrow]

Talk about moths next

[kindred pewter]

That happened to you as well? for me they cut my legs off and took one arm from me, like that one game. Such horrible people

[stoic sigil]

Like Diamond Monopoly

[cunning geode]

oh yeah i heard about halteres

[silver laurel]

They lift a figurative weight

[full rune]

my scornful attitude is against people who don't know come in and act like they do know, otherwise it's perfectly fine not to know things

[silver laurel]

The halteres hold up flies as a species

[stoic sigil]

They must really need funding ig

[kindred pewter]

I guess so

[coarse leaf]

putting the blame of frustration entirely on people who are frustrated (to a normal extent) is unreasonable is all im saying

[fiery burrow]

I'm not really trying to put it on anyone

[opaque sigil]

🇺🇸

[modest night]

they're not free

[fiery burrow]

People get frustrated and their feelings are valid, its just not reasonable to get mad at TC

[full rune]

roads are communism

[opaque sigil]

Tolls are a thing

[silver oak]

why the fuck are cars free

[modest night]

but taxes do count tho

[stoic sigil]

Oh my god Joker got possessed by a late EA Executive

[warped rock]

silksong

[silver laurel]

I think I'm gonna make a bug channel to talk about bugs weekly

[modest night]

they should make the road fee taxes deducible

[olive bobcat]

Insulin tax

[silver oak]

people should be spending their own money to buy cars instead of getting them from the state for no cost

[cunning geode]

Hey @silver laurel https://bogleech.com/flyday-001-common take this and enjoy

[silver laurel]

What is this lol

[coarse leaf]

thats why i specify reasonable frustration, most people who are frustrated arent really mad at TC, saying “id like it if there was more communication from them” isnt really indicative of anger

[frigid cipher]

team cherry should do their future updates in meme formats and make them incredibly cryptic so it takes longer for fans to understand what they're trying to say so the news technically lasts longer

[full rune]

if i ever get admin i am immediately enabling server subscriptions and blocking out all channels except #hk-meme

[fiery burrow]

Well I don't think thats equivalent to frustration really

[full rune]

you gotta pay to chat

Yeah, and I have TC role

[coarse leaf]

im not

[modest night]

does the movie try to make you empathize with him?

[silver oak]

you're telling me they GIVE you money?

[stark estuary]

something something “if you love your job you never have to work a day in your life”

[cunning geode]

i think they kinda do a little but not entirely. that movie is so botched

[frigid cipher]

because capitalism

[modest night]

whats the movie anyway

[fiery burrow]

Well he's actively polluting the environment so he can sell more air

[cunning geode]

the Lorax movie

[coarse leaf]

no but it tries to make you empathize with the onceler who fucked everything up in the first place

[silver oak]

nah it's like, the onceler built this whole too big to fail empire that was actually horrible, and then when it collapsed ohare was like "again"

[modest night]

OH i forgot half of the lorax plot

i thought there only was the tree tumblr sexyman

[cunning geode]

for one they SHOW THE ONCELER and try defining him as a character because they couldn’t fucking wrap their heads around the idea you’re NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE HIM

[olive bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/the-lorax-flying-orange-gif-9286319087226105937

Onceler’s deforestation led to reduced air quality that O’Hare capitalized on

[modest night]

what was it

[olive bobcat]

Me too when I watched it

[silver oak]

grammy norma was the real G

[coarse leaf]

iirc the lorax movie was originally gonna have a plot that wouldve been wildly better but something happened mid-production and it got botched

[stark estuary]

While continuing to actively pollute the environment to make his product more valuable

[cunning geode]

she’s old and she’s got gray hair but she remembers when trees were everywhere!!!

[modest night]

guys whats the name of the horrible live action movie with the cat and a lot of purple again

I watched the lorax before reading the book as a kid and I was like "wait where was all the stuff from the movies :(((("

[silver oak]

what if you're interested in a topic tho

[coarse leaf]

afaik theyre auto-generated channels

[frigid cipher]

it has to do with the way that music distribution works on youtube

[modest night]

god this is so uncanny because i heard the french version as a kid and i have vague memories of it

take attention away from the original uploader

sorry

[fiery burrow]

You should feed your pets

[frigid cipher]

they don't because they give the money to whatever artist is distributing it anyways

[flat remnant]

i want to give the original creator credit but their version isn't so easy to find as opposed to topic

i think we should just blow up earth and finally beat nature it would be funny

[stark estuary]

Prions aren’t living creatures and the issue with them and disease more generally isn’t getting rid of the thing causing it it’s doing so without killing the host organism

i was thinking of prions, was just misspelling them because names for things are silly

Did you try shooting it with a gun

but prions aren't alive

[hollow terrace]

I can

[stark estuary]

Prion disease is very scary

[tulip edge]

Why do they call you antman?

[coarse leaf]

iirc killing something isnt exclusive to things that are technically a living thing as long as they can be killed in the sense of no longer being able to do the thing theyre meant to

[hollow terrace]

im short

[frigid cipher]

because he's an ant, man

[versed pollen]

Embed failure

[frigid cipher]

heh

[modest night]

nah i would argue death is exclusive to the living

[cunning geode]

thank goodness we’re all undead, right..?

[flat remnant]

more like can't man

gottem

[frigid cipher]

vertically challenged

[hollow terrace]

then explain this, wiki pull up the heat death of the universe

[cunning geode]

ok so just me

[modest night]

also if you use that definition of death prions would die out without hosts anyway, like if we killed everything else

they're just little proteins that can make other proteins fold the same fucked up way they are from what i recall

[warped nacelle]

ok so just you

[modest night]

considered at least adjacent to viruses

[stark estuary]

Rare as it is, sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) can theoretically happen to anyone at any time for no reason and with our current understanding of medicine they’d die a slow unpleasant and completely unpreventable death

[cunning geode]

yeah and proteins can be destroyed

[tawdry valley]

Living is defined as persisting and death is defined as ceasing to persist. Biologically it means alive or dead, theoretically it applies to anything that can persist or cease to persist

It’s hard to apply life/death to things like viruses, because they lack so many features you’d attribute to a living organism

[coarse leaf]

i wouldnt consider having to kill all life with a brain on the planet as us having the means to get rid of prions

[tulip edge]

Let's go ss discussion! (Semantics semantics discussion)

[tawdry valley]

They just fuckin, float and use other things as batteries. Then that thing dies and they go again

[modest night]

ok i don't get it are you arguing for killing all life or specifically prions

[cunning geode]

viruses have DNA and evolve

[tawdry valley]

No I was going in a biology tangent, what did I miss

[modest night]

not talking to you sorry ddx

[coarse leaf]

im not arguing for anything i just made a statement earlier

[frigid cipher]

Sofftopic S2 discussion

[tawdry valley]

I think the coolest idea for something that’s hard to define as living or dead is something that’s immortal, has genetic material, but doesn’t use it.

Like a tree that could plant seeds in theory, but won’t because why would it. It’s immortal

[modest night]

well the issue with prions is that if you try to treat them they're almost always affecting proteins of the brain and it's really hard to treat brain diseases without fucking other things up

[tawdry valley]

Now you have an organism that’s all genetic material, without replication. wtf is it

[modest night]

especially because they're "harder to destroy" than regular stuff because they're really stable iirc, but also because if you leave just one inside someone it's still over for them

[coarse leaf]

ah

[sage glade]

https://tenor.com/bU4Sq.gif

[stark estuary]

Attack on Titan????????

[modest night]

like because it can self replicate by folding other proteins inside the brain like it, if you only leave one particle it will keep self replicating

[tawdry valley]

I know next to nothing about prions except that plague inc says they make zombies

[flat remnant]

where did these come from

[sage glade]

a camera if i had to guess

[flat remnant]

did he fall from the heavens onto a gym and 🤨

[coarse leaf]

prions are what caused the mad cow disease outbreak in the UK right

[modest night]

yes

not just the uk btw

i think we still had a case here not so long ago

[shell yacht]

prions are what do all of those brain melting mutations like rabies too iirc

[coarse leaf]

does it get into the rest of animals too somehow or are people in europe just obsessed with brains

[shell yacht]

zombie apocalypse long overdue, the odds dont add up

[hasty trout]

My hero sixdemia?

[stark estuary]

Very different from rabies

[smoky nebula]

Prions are the bad proteins

[modest night]

yes it infects other animals too

[coarse leaf]

no i meant like, do prions spread through the meat of an animal aside from the brain

[modest night]

like it can be exclusive to species that aren't human, i remember that we saw that one case with sheep

[frigid cipher]

will there be cows in hk silksong

[fiery burrow]

I ate them all

[stark estuary]

Fun fact: Prions literally eat holes in the brain until the infected person withers away and dies. The diseases that prions cause are called “Spongiform Encephalopathies” because by the end infected brains have so many holes in them that they resemble a kitchen sponge.

[fiery burrow]

What kind of fun fact is this

[stark estuary]

A very unfun one

[olive bobcat]

Spongebob-head

[frigid cipher]

fun fact: someone had to figure out that the human body is made of 70% water

[coarse leaf]

because afaik most people who have gotten it get it through ingesting animals who had it

[modest night]

well, prions can spread through the peripheral nervous system (your nerves that are outside of your skull and spine, so in your muscles (which is the meat you eat)) to attack the central one

[olive bobcat]

(gotta clarify it's fake)

[stark estuary]

Most will kill you before it gets to that stage though, Kuru for instance takes away your ability to chew and swallow, causing you to die by starvation, whereas Fatal Familial Insomnia takes away your ability to sleep leading to psychosis coma and eventual death. Cool stuff!

[stoic sigil]

Nuh uh its real

[modest night]

people don't eat brains typically so yeah i assume that's how it spread

[stark estuary]

There’s the famous Kuru outbreak in Papa New Guinea

[flat remnant]

it worked

[brazen jetty]

Maybe the silksong that we got are the friends we made along the way idk

[stark estuary]

Basically they’d eat the brains of their deceased relatives and they all got Kuru

[olive bobcat]

@haughty ingot Great work team

[frigid cipher]

silksong is fake not the tweet though that's a real thing posted on twitter

[haughty ingot]

[olive bobcat]

[uncut citrus]

eheh

[coarse leaf]

very unsure what percentage of europe’s population it even effected at its peak so if it only spread through brains i wouldve just assumed the outbreak primarily happened among a bunch of rich europeans who couldnt get enough of eating brains

because rich people are the only people ive ever known to do that

[stoic sigil]

Yeah this Mrs. Picnic guy acts like he knows more than the person who took the image

in percentages that's very small but also for a prion disease i imagine that's huge

[stoic sigil]

Did you get this from ComedyNecrophelia?

so if blood is a danger w prions i assume meat is too

[modest night]

what did people eat tho

[stark estuary]

Oh if you meant in an already infected organism then I misunderstood mb

[modest night]

yeah

[stark estuary]

Yeah if you’re already infected they can get everywhere

i'm so close to 10k... i'm like a celebrity

[olive bobcat]

[olive bobcat]

So far we've done vectors and some stuff with hyperbolic functions

[modest night]

i haven't done any in a while so i don't think i could help sorry bestie

[olive bobcat]

Anyways my calc teacher made this sound super complex this might actually be super easy

[modest night]

it is

[coarse leaf]

math makes me physically recoil when i see it

[olive bobcat]

I got stuck with bad luck

[coarse leaf]

no math is super easy for me

except for like

[olive bobcat]

Old Indian guy who apparently has a degree in a similar field

[coarse leaf]

adding and multiplyign and subtracting and all

[modest night]

nah it's more like it involves quite simple stuff when you break limits down compared to other stuff

[olive bobcat]

So he's forgetful, has an accent, and doesn't know everything he's explaining

[coarse leaf]

baby math is easy for me real math is not where my brain lies

[modest night]

im assuming you're gonna learn integrals this year too btw aluo

[olive bobcat]

Already did

[modest night]

that is also something that can be broken down fine

[olive bobcat]

Calc 1 was a lot of limits, derivatives, and integrals

So far calc 2 did vectors (which is way ahead), then jumped back to continuing the stuff from calc 1

[coarse leaf]

i learned it just enough to graduate high school then immediately forgot everything but the essentials and became an english major

[upbeat bear]

wrong, horrors beyond your comprehension

[modest night]

ok this is kinda crazy to me

do you not learn vectors at all before this

[olive bobcat]

[modest night]

or is it 3d vectors

[olive bobcat]

3D vectors

[modest night]

[olive bobcat]

They're an art major

[modest night]

exactly

gotta understand the uh, shapes

[olive bobcat]

I took college algebra senior year cause pre-calc scared me the year prior

Then college algebra was super easy cause pre-calc teaches you all that stuff already

"I hate algebra" kids when they have to move on to calc:

At this point algebra is so easy

[radiant wraith]

Algebra is a very wide thing remember that

Introductory algebra is easy

[coarse leaf]

most people who hate algebra will never have to move on to calc because they probably wont specialize in anything math-intensive

[radiant wraith]

Then some stuff with algebra as the name will absolutely destroy you

[olive bobcat]

Lemme hear an example

[modest night]

honestly those discussions are so funny because here we call it all math and never care about what's algebra or calculus so i always have no clue what you all are talking about....

[radiant wraith]

Well my number theory class was under the name algebra and that was tough

Modulus and fermat little theorem stuff

Rings and fields, divisibility, Chinese rest theorem or whatever it's called

[coarse leaf]

to me as someone who doesnt know much about math all it means is “math” and “harder math”

[radiant wraith]

Then my other algebra class with singular value decomposition, definite positive matrices, eigenvectors, LU decomposition and other stuff like that

[olive bobcat]

Algebra is like complex math 101, calculus is graph math

The basic algebra stuff at least

[radiant wraith]

All very heavy with proofs

And needed you to actually always be creative with every single one of the exercises

[olive bobcat]

I hear calc 3 is gonna be super easy, which is nice

Only 3 credit hours instead of 5 here

[modest night]

i kinda feel like i lost a lot of my math knowledge from not practicing it in two years

we only have boring stats instead........... so lame......................

[weary tapir]

Genuinely the fully voice acted social links alone are insane

[modest night]

where did the games like the cat lady go

[warped nacelle]

I know right

It's so good tho

[modest night]

need more edgy games with weird art direction

[weary tapir]

Yukos voice actress is so. GOOD

[coarse leaf]

whats that

[lament lotus]

is yakuza even about the mafia anymore like y0

[weary tapir]

AND BEBE

[modest night]

old mid 2010s game where you play as a woman who lost her baby or something

[flat remnant]

hop on ghos tri- wait nah that's actually kind of tame

[weary tapir]

I FUCKING LOVE BEBE

[coarse leaf]

the whole series is about trying to get out of that life

[modest night]

i think you die in game and then get revived, it had a cool art style

[golden pawn]

What if car..

[frigid cipher]

no

[warped nacelle]

I didn't get to hear him yet but oh my god in p3

[weary tapir]

Can you explain to me the scene where main character headbutts a tree and then a guy falls down and it says “ASSHOLE” and then it’s turn based combat

[lament lotus]

true

[spare fractal]

finally

[weary tapir]

How does this tie into the mafia

Is the guy a coconut guy

[spare fractal]

I can work on my project again

[weary tapir]

Yes

[warped nacelle]

Ok so

Yes

[coarse leaf]

the yakuza games are a mix of serious good stories and silly buffoonish antics

[weary tapir]

Yeah thought so

[heady iron]

Yakuza go kart cutscene

[warped nacelle]

Main story is all about mafia and great moments

But everything else isn't

[coarse leaf]

that one is edited smh

[modest night]

i would play yakuza but im worried i won't find it funny

[lament lotus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDhPdsgTLZQ related to topic.. i think

[warped nacelle]

There's a chance

[flat remnant]

all this yakuza talk and i just stumbled on a reddit thread talking about the real yakuza

[weary tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/orbital-laser-yakuza7-orbital-gif-25248191

[weary tapir]

What about this

[coarse leaf]

if has a pretty wide range of humor in it so i feel like you might to a certain extent

[weary tapir]

Can you explain this

[lament lotus]

yakuza 0 is more serious than kiwami 1 but it still is pretty funny

it aint the main objective of the game

[flat remnant]

eggman-ass cutscene

[coarse leaf]

i think thats just ichiban imagining a fight being way more intense than it is but idk

[lament lotus]

yakuza 7 is the comedy game

[coarse leaf]

ichiban is silly like that

[warped nacelle]

Ichiban is already dumb af

[spare fractal]

super laser piss!

[modest night]

yeah but i am not big on mob stories either

[warped nacelle]

He wants to be a hero

[weary tapir]

You see any time I ask about this series ppl are just like “it’s really good” and that’s it

[coarse leaf]

its something thats tough to describe without playing it for yourself

[weary tapir]

I’m like “why is there animal crossing in the new yakuza” and they respond with “good game”

[warped nacelle]

Ichiban sees everything as if he was the hero of a video game like in dragon quest like he used to play a lot

[olive bobcat]

Shoutout to my boy the power rule btw

[lament lotus]

idk then but its still really fun do buy on sale if youre thinking about it

[olive bobcat]

Goat of calc

[warped nacelle]

Which makes enemies and some things extra weird looking

[coarse leaf]

what about them exactly? yakuza is specifically a story about people trying to escape that life rather than engaging in it

[warped nacelle]

I mean depends on the game and not everything is perfect

I would say 0 and LaD are really good

[frigid cipher]

what are the implications of mr mushroom returning, and what will his powers be

[weary tapir]

Is it true you have to play 70 hours of shogi for an achievement

[modest night]

the whole setting in general im not sure why but i find it extremely boring

kinda like how im meh on anything set in space too

[warped nacelle]

Some games are either janky/old/less interesting

Yakuza 100% is stupid

It's a lot of boring mini games grind

[weary tapir]

That’s awesome

[coarse leaf]

like city settings?

[weary tapir]

Do you think they could make a yakuza party game in the future

[modest night]

no just the trope in general, i like cities

[uneven orchid]

Maybe I'll eventually try Yakuza but I'm not sure. I like that it seems goofy and dumb, but I'm not a fan of beat em' ups really

[weary tapir]

The new one looks fucking turn based

Not even a beat em up

[warped nacelle]

LaD and IW are turn based

IW's combat even if turn based is really good

There's a lot to do

[uneven orchid]

Oh? I was told a lot of the base gameplay was fighting and stuff

[spare fractal]

I've come to make an announcement

[coarse leaf]

the yakuza is very different from the typical mob tropes and i think with how the games portray it they do a good job of showing that

[warped nacelle]

For the rest yes

[weary tapir]

I got nothing against turn based combat

(I have 40 hours in persona 3 reload in 4 days)

[coarse leaf]

like a dragon and its sequel are turn based, the rest are beat em ups

[warped nacelle]

I know but I mean it has more mechanics than your usual turn based

[uneven orchid]

Ah I see, interesting

[weary tapir]

I like best em ups too

[hollow terrace]

I would say the serious yakuza stories are interesting but, you have to treat it as a movie with three guys talking in a room

[coarse leaf]

like a dragon is like a “new era” of the story sorta afaik so its neat that they changed up the gameplay

[modest night]

idk i feel like it's just gonna be a repeat of outer wilds

[uneven orchid]

Tbh I still need to buy BG3 and Dredge first anyway

[opaque sigil]

LaD is pretty good as turn based jrpgs go

[warped nacelle]

If you play many Yakuza games it'd get tiring yes

[coarse leaf]

if youre tempted to try it out then id say pick up yakuza 0 on sale at some point maybe

thats a good first yakuza game

[uneven orchid]

:(

[warped nacelle]

It's a AA studio, stories take place in the same places, bunch of reused assets

Ofc there are some new things and they do it well most of the time

But it doesn't always hit

[lament lotus]

best thing about yakuza franchise is the linear naming scheme (except the yakuzas after LaD)

[coarse leaf]

atp id call them a triple A studio lol

[warped nacelle]

That's why I only recommend the 2 best games imo, which are also starting points where you don't have to play other games before

[warped nacelle]

Maybe

[spare fractal]

I kind of forgot what I was going to say

[lament lotus]

SHADOW IS A B

[spare fractal]

oh yeah! SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG'S A B#TCH #SS MOTHERF#CKER

[coarse leaf]

i also never like describing games as AA because i tend to only hear that said in the context of bad games like the LOTR golum game or stray souls from last year

[uneven orchid]

That reminds me, I learnt some insane info not too long ago. I used to be obsessed with Super Monkey Ball during my childhood and it turns out the people that made the latest game are the same studio behind the Yakuza games

[opaque sigil]

Wait really

[lament lotus]

i should buy SMB

[opaque sigil]

Astonishing revelations

[olive bobcat]

Are indie games just A

[spare fractal]

I've never understood what AA game means

[shell yacht]

it takes two of the fat batteries to play

[uneven orchid]

Yeah, I only found out because I was speaking to someone obsessed with Yakuza and mentioned how SMB has a Yukuza skin in the latest game, so they checked and then said it makes sense because it's the same studio lmao

[grim loom]

Maybe?

[lament lotus]

probably

[spare fractal]

it's not a AAA game then it's a D game

[coarse leaf]

it refers to the amount of funding and the size of the team put behind a game in think

[lament lotus]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/784876330960289794/932118123719581737/CRETH1.gif

[patent forum]

true

[flat remnant]

there is always a nintendo direct week 2 of february

nothing special y'all, move along

[coarse leaf]

no, i think the whole “A” thing is exclusive to games made under big properties or parent companies

[sage glade]

the maybe mammoth

[coarse leaf]

so if a game is actually indie it’d just be indie

[spare fractal]

this is bringing me deja vu from when I joined the server

[lament lotus]

true

[grim loom]

TC should make any update...it's the 7th anniversary for hk

[deep laurel]

godhome 2

[flat remnant]

and that anniversary number is special because...

[spare fractal]

wait then why was everyone so hyped for the febraury direct last year?

[lament lotus]

hopium

[flat remnant]

it was coincidence mostly

[lament lotus]

oh damn airy joined exactly 1 year ago

[shell yacht]

lunacy

[cunning geode]

prolly because it was within the xbox 1 year "deadline"

[fiery burrow]

TC is well known and well respected for honouring anniversary dates

[spare fractal]

that's right!

[flat remnant]

the silksweepening just happened to start a few days before the direct so it kind of became an event for that out of coincidence

[hollow terrace]

hey chat two days before the anniversey of this

[lament lotus]

they even made a spin off of hollow knight for their 5th anniversary! its called hungry knight i think

[spare fractal]

oh my gosh I remember this!

[flat remnant]

it's been like a whole year since sarah and archmedes made the original silksweeper...

[wheat sail]

Another lockdown is coming

[lament lotus]

ITS BEEN 1 YEAR??????

[coarse leaf]

i think its silly to dog on people for hoping there might be something at an event lol, this is a game everyone here is looking forward to so letting people express their hope is harmless

[spare fractal]

I joined around this time and made my crappy wheatley silksong pfp!

[fiery burrow]

Hoping is fun

[lament lotus]

true sometimes i think people are way too rude

[fiery burrow]

Moping is not

[spare fractal]

I was on vacation so I made my wheatley pfp with my phone, and I felt proud of myself!

[fiery burrow]

I thought that was a lamp not wheatley

[remote ibex]

The annoying part is when the chat is spammed with where silksong

[shell yacht]

theres hope then theres people that wont accept the possibility of being wrong that complain afterwards

[flat remnant]

i keep forgeting opium is a thing

y'all have ruined my perception of drugs with your hope 😡

[spare fractal]

my current pfp is a lamp but my oldest pfp was one of wheatley from Portal 2.

[fiery burrow]

Its been years since the last trailer, cmon TC give us something...

Oh also make sure to spam uncanny daddy 50 times

[coarse leaf]

and a lot of people assume anyone who has hope is gonna do that which is unreasonable

[shell yacht]

banning star for copium

[flat remnant]

uncanny huh...

#hk-discussion message

Erm good?

[spare fractal]

#hk-discussion message good times

[fiery burrow]

Drugs un-ideal

[remote ibex]

K

[hollow terrace]

neat!

[coarse leaf]

that doesnt really effect anyone in any meaningful way, just say “no news” or use the dedicated command made for people who ask and move on rather than being rude

[fiery burrow]

how will I feel superior to other people though

[remote ibex]

Command?

[flat remnant]

clown emojis

[fiery burrow]

I need to meet my daily internet argument quota

[coarse leaf]

the sspsa command, same prefix as the regular psa command

[remote ibex]

?

[coarse leaf]

directs people to the channel where news will be announced if it happens

[remote ibex]

Ohhhh

I mean in the chat of the showcase event

[coarse leaf]

oh well just ignore that

livestream chats are always wildly obnoxious

[remote ibex]

Its just that its hard for anyone to show hype around the games being shown when the chat is just 90% silksong

[formal karma]

And this chat is also sort of bad

[wheat sail]

Nintendo direct soon, silksoon, soon song

[spare fractal]

I remember when the direct ended I was pretty satisfied but everyone was mad because silksong didn't appear

[flat remnant]

imagine caring about a game that much

[golden pawn]

Coraline is going back to the theaters!

[coarse leaf]

thats why i just dont engage with big livestream chats because anything you say will be drowned out no matter what

[golden pawn]

“Hide chat” button, my beloved

[coarse leaf]

^

[wheat sail]

I see LUL, I spam LUL

[flat remnant]

lul users when i lul their pets into a peaceful slumber

[coarse leaf]

livestream chats just make me vaguely annoyed especially for events because no matter what therell always be like 20 people spamming resident sleeper or whatever

[golden pawn]

[coarse leaf]

because theyre either joyless or purposely trying to provoke people

[golden pawn]

anyway, new sonic hype.

[coarse leaf]

im cautiously optimistic

[spare fractal]

I remember this message very well#sk-discussion message

[coarse leaf]

as is with everything new from sonic team

[golden pawn]

i trust em'

[wheat sail]

Impossible to make a good sonic

[golden pawn]

ive played 3 sonic games , and 2 were good one is okay.

[coarse leaf]

wrong

[spare fractal]

which e

[flat remnant]

guh...

[spare fractal]

I clicked enter early again...

[silver laurel]

hold on a second

just farted

[coarse leaf]

im cautiously optimistic abt this new game because i felt sonic frontiers, while it wasnt great, was a step back in the right direction with 3d sonic games

[cunning geode]

great!

[golden pawn]

sonic frontiers :

[hollow terrace]

dude stop

[golden pawn]

as it being my 2nd ever, 3rd ever sonic game

[coarse leaf]

it felt closer to being like sonic adventure than any other sonic game in the past decade or two

[wheat sail]

Something stinks

[golden pawn]

it was amazing imo and i still gotta beat it.

[silver laurel]

nope

[sinful flare]

awesome

[flat remnant]

my first sonic games were mania and colors ultimate

[coarse leaf]

i think the boss fights were fantastic but everything else was just ok

[silver laurel]

You can't ban me just for being unfunny I'm immortal

[flat remnant]

i do not like sonic i'm not going to lie

[golden pawn]

2nd titan fight my fav

[remote ibex]

I can ping sof on you tho

[golden pawn]

my first sonic game was the black knight.

[silver laurel]

I will eat sof alive

[coarse leaf]

also the game felt like it was falling apart at the seams most of the time

not even because it was super buggy when it came to playing it there was just so many visual glitches

and crazy pop-in

[spare fractal]

anyways school for me starts in like a month now

[sinful flare]

like black knight from shovel knight ??

[spare fractal]

why? :(

[golden pawn]

no black knight like king arthur.

and sonic is the bad guy in the black knight.

[spare fractal]

you mean sonic the hedgehog?

[golden pawn]

well, from certain points of view.

[flat remnant]

knave the hedgehog

gottem

[silver laurel]

pov: a giant sat on your house

[coarse leaf]

sonic and the black knight is the better of the two sonic games that came out exclusively on the wii but still not very good

[spare fractal]

which were they?
