[brittle garnet]

also there's a bunch of strings coming out of Moss mother when it dies

[outer temple]

I think the death puppet strings is the silk going back up to wherever it came from

[glossy gazelle]

Especially considering those bugs deliberately captured hornet and not killed her

And Lace definitely wants to kill Hornet

[fiery burrow]

Puppet master theory :C

[neon adder]

Well that’s not what I meant exactly
Lace is probably against the citadel and doing what they think is going to hinder the citadel, but maybe they’re being manipulated

[fiery burrow]

I mean the Citadel very clearly wants Hornet

[neon adder]

Yeah
I mean she’s another weaver on the pile

[deep laurel]

she probably has magic royal silkblood

[neon adder]

I don’t know what that means

[deep laurel]

maybe her lineage, even just on the mother's side is special

[opaque sigil]

herrah is very specifically not special

[glossy gazelle]

Wrong side

[neon adder]

Hera was just a common bug, she married into the weaver royal family

[glossy gazelle]

Hornet is a product of a higher being and a common bug. So she’s probably more special than the other weavers

[brittle garnet]

Herrah wasn't a weaver as far as we know, also

[full rune]

Herrah is hegemol

[stark estuary]

She wasn’t, yes

[deep laurel]

maybe the weavers are just angry for some reason then

[neon adder]

She was a spider though

[brittle garnet]

ye

[stark estuary]

“For some reason”

[glossy gazelle]

I misspoke, I meant she’s more important than the Weavers in general

[brittle garnet]

but the Citadel definitely doesn't want hornet just cause she makes silk

[deep laurel]

or they simply see hornet as a threat

[brittle garnet]

they want her because her silk is special and because of the abilities this grants her

[glossy gazelle]

Again she’s half higher being

[fiery burrow]

She makes silk beacons

[neon adder]

In a delightfully ironic twist of fate the common bug is enslaving the spider
That seems like a fair reason to be absolutely pissed

[brittle garnet]

they wouldn't capture her alive and bring her over

[glossy gazelle]

Her silk is probably special. Especially with some of the Skills we see Hornet using in game

[stark estuary]

Politically she was important because she married into the ruling caste but biologically speaking she’s specifically just a common beast, as opposed to special magic spiders or whatever the Weavers are supposed to be

[neon adder]

If they saw her as a threat, they’d probably just kill her on the spot

[neon adder]

I mean she’s 1/2 higher being and in Godhome

[stark estuary]

We have confirmation of this

In Silksong, Hornet possesses similar skills, though her abilities are tied to the silk she produces. For Hornet, silk and soul are inseparably bound, her life-force fused with her thread.

[brittle garnet]

if the strings do control enemies, then if anything they are aligned with Lace in goals, i.e. to kill Hornet, so it would make sense she's not controlled

[stark estuary]

It’s specifically compared to TK’s focus and in HK Hornet says she and TK draw their strength from similar source

[glossy gazelle]

Being one of the only bugs to sense something is amiss, the other being Grimm…and it doesn’t a genius to see why that is

[fiery burrow]

Sheo does aswell

[stark estuary]

The source of Hornet’s supernatural abilities is very obviously her father (who is a literal deity) and not her common beast mother

[neon adder]

Do you think Hornet could make some sort of Frankenstein amalgam if she stitched together the corpses of dead bugs

[brittle garnet]

no but cool idea, yoink

[neon adder]

Grimm is the embodiment of the Nightmare Heart, who is a higher being, yeah

[neon adder]

Bloody hell

[fiery burrow]

Sounds like a groversoup tool idea

[stark estuary]

There’s no such thing as a “1/2 higher being”

[glossy gazelle]

Yeah this basically confirms her silk is special, and given how they mentioned how specifically her silk is found with soul that was probably caused by the Pale King, given the Focus abilities the Knight has access to.

[neon adder]

Groversoup?

[stark estuary]

She inherited magical powers from her dad that doesn’t make her a partial higher being because the definition of higher being does not allow for that kind of distinction

[neon adder]

Lineage-wise there is
She might be full on higher being or not one at all but technically she’s half and half

[stark estuary]

Demigod would be accurate I suppose but that means jack shit canonically

[brittle garnet]

there is no definition of higher being

[stark estuary]

No because HB status isn’t hereditary

[deep laurel]

is one of the weavers a higher being?

[neon adder]

Yes, Hornet is a demigod pretty much

[fiery burrow]

#sk-discussion message

[neon adder]

Not that we know of

[stark estuary]

There is, TC in an AMA defined HBs as “those who exist above all others”

[neon adder]

Ehehehe

[brittle garnet]

higher being is what the hollow knight community collectively decided to call the god-like beings in Hollow Knight

[stark estuary]

No it’s a canon term

[sage void]

@cerulean sable ik we were speaking of grinds earlier i just got this today

[brittle garnet]

yeah this is not a very reliable or descriptive definition

[neon adder]

Because of the "higher beings, these words are for you alone"

[brittle garnet]

monster hunter elder dragon-ass definition

[fiery burrow]

Godlike beings who exist above all others isn't particularly vague its just a way to say super powerful

[stark estuary]

Well it’s a definition and saying that’s just what the community decided to call them is at best flat out wrong

[brittle garnet]

i mean

[olive bobcat]

Middle being

[glossy gazelle]

well it’s a canon term but it’s not described in game. Just certain bugs are said or highly alluded into being higher beings

[brittle garnet]

the game never uses the term higher being to refer to pk, wl, unn, grimm or rad

so y'know

[stark estuary]

Irrelevant

[wide quartz]

standard agent W

[fiery burrow]

It does for the first two

[neon adder]

Yeah

[brittle garnet]

it means it's factually correct that the community decided to refer to them as that

[neon adder]

Killer
Keep at it

[stark estuary]

It’s not because TC were specifically asked what HBs were and gave a clear answer

Whataboutism

They even went on to list PK WL and Rad as examples

[neon adder]

Rad?

[stark estuary]

So you can’t go “uh it’s never stated in-game!”

[glossy gazelle]

AMA =/= in game

[stark estuary]

Radiance

[neon adder]

Oh yeah

[stark estuary]

No shit that doesn’t make it non canon or a fan made term as was suggested

[brittle garnet]

yeah i just went to check and saw that, so i was indeed mistaken

but i don't think you can use their definition to discount hornet not being half one

[neon adder]

Still not much against Hornet being some sort of immature higher being, soul thread seems to be on par with the White Lady’s size increasing ability

[fiery burrow]

Hornet half exists above all others

Its not like they define it as a hereditary term

[stark estuary]

Even in game the KS charm’s meta text is consistent with the definition TC gave (unlike the KP tablets which are obviously propaganda)

[opaque sigil]

the issue is more that being descended from a hb doesn't really have any necessary implications in and of itself

[stark estuary]

It does not really make sense for HB status to be hereditary

Nor does the notion of a half higher being make sense if we use the official definition

[brittle garnet]

why not? It's not like you can become a HB as far as we know, so it stands to reason that it's genetic

[fiery burrow]

Kid named the Lord of Shades:

[opaque sigil]

you absolutely can

[stark estuary]

You can become a HB, TK accomplishes this

[glossy gazelle]

Hence why literally none of the Vessels are deemed higher beings despite being born of two

[brittle garnet]

and "half higher being" just means that one of her parents was a higher being, that's what people mean when they say hornet is half higher being

[neon adder]

That’s what I was saying

[sage void]

i do

[neon adder]

Metal

[fiery burrow]

Demigod is more apt

[opaque sigil]

and even if some traits can be inherited that would make you a hb it's in virtue of those traits not the notion of a parent's membership into the category itself

[stark estuary]

Well if that’s what people mean then calling her half higher being is inaccurate

[opaque sigil]

also like a lot of hbs don't have genetics and/or have offspring that are just normal shit like moths or mosskin

[stark estuary]

It’s also unhelpful as HBs are an incredibly broad category of unrelated beings

[brittle garnet]

right but TK wasn't ever really a mortal bug to begin with

[stark estuary]

Stop begging the question

[glossy gazelle]

They probably use it because gods usage in HollowKnight is…questionable (Yes GodSeeker I’m looking directly at you)

[stark estuary]

TK wasn’t a HB and became one it’s not that complicated

[brittle garnet]

how so? If you have a parent from a country you've never stepped foot in is it inaccurate to call yourself half-[that country's denizen]

[stark estuary]

What

HB is a status

[deep laurel]

the knight is half king

[shell yacht]

it is innacurate bc genetics arent your country of origin

[brittle garnet]

and yet the vast majority of people use it that way

[fiery burrow]

Well Godseeker has a very specific definition that isn't really used outside of the context of Godhome

[stark estuary]

:/

[deep laurel]

and the knight is half lady

[brittle garnet]

the status has implications of their nature, it's not just a title

right?

[stark estuary]

The only implication it has is that it denotes an incredibly powerful godlike individual

That is literally the only thing HBs have in common

It’s nothing to do with their individual natures (which are highly varied)

[deep laurel]

ok I think the pale king has different "modes", he is only higher being in his wyrm mode

[stark estuary]

… no

[brittle garnet]

anyway when people say hornet is half higher being they just mean that she probably inherited some special abilities from PK which we know is true

[deep laurel]

or at least he cannot pass down higher being status

[fiery burrow]

Just say that then to avoid confusion

[stark estuary]

First and foremost PK and the PW are literally referred to as the same entity and the second form is also referred to as a HB itself on multiple occasions

[brittle garnet]

I say that

i'm defending people who say she's half higher being

[fiery burrow]

"Hornet has inherited PK's traits" and "Hornet is a half-higher being" entail different things

[stark estuary]

The latter is misleading and unhelpful for the reasons above

[brittle garnet]

whatever

[stark estuary]

HB doesn’t tell us jack about the nature of the being, PK isn’t comparable to LoS who isn’t comparable to Rad who isn’t comparable to Unn

[deep laurel]

it's just gods have different forms sometimes, and some are intentionally less godly

[stark estuary]

She’s half Wyrm, and inherited powers specific to PK (not HBs generally)

[stark estuary]

Well PK deliberately chose to take that form so yes

[glossy gazelle]

Actually is the Lord of Shades actually called a higher being in game? Been a hot minute since I have actively touched GodHome

[stark estuary]

I wouldn’t say it’s less godly though it’s just smaller

[brittle garnet]

it's called the god of gods

[narrow prawn]

lord of shades should be a higher being

[sick elm]

Bardoon - General - Reacting to Void Heart

Ohhhmmmm... Tiny thing... It evolves beyond that Wyrm. Such union in a single being. A strength before unseen. Would it too challenge nature? It could perhaps defeat it.

@battleoftheblackwyrm used /npcs misc name: Bardoon category: General dialogue: Reacting to Void Heart

[brittle garnet]

but it probably fits the bill of higher being according to the definition

[stark estuary]

God of Gods isn’t evidence of much actually

It’s the Bardoon quote yes

TK with VH has specifically surpassed PK (a HB) making it a HB by proxy

[brittle garnet]

i mean also all HBs share the common trait of posessing powerful magical abilities which is not something that many other bugs can do

like it's not enough that they are just very strong

[stark estuary]

Said powerful magical abilities differ greatly and suggesting that is a common trait is not very helpful either

[brittle garnet]

i mean it's kinda helpful

[stark estuary]

PK’s soul manipulation isn’t even remotely similar to Rad’s dream shit or LoS’s unified Void

[opaque sigil]

it's true that all the godlike beings have supernatural powers

but that's not a very interesting observation

[deep laurel]

what do you mean with soul manipulation? he gave intelligence to the bugs right?

[glossy gazelle]

Also Soul Manipulation is not the only power pale king had, he also had influence over minds

[stark estuary]

PK had a lot of shit yes

[brittle garnet]

hornet has supernatural powers too so in any case that's most likely the reason she was captured

[glossy gazelle]

Yeah we have derailed significantly lmao

[stark estuary]

Her supernatural powers are specific to PK they’re not a generic HB thing

Also soul manipulation isn’t limited to HBs even if that’s where you wanted to take this

[glossy gazelle]

Over a hecking semantics argument that literally doesn’t matter

[brittle garnet]

classic silksong discussion

[stark estuary]

Semantics are important

[brittle garnet]

no

[stark estuary]

idk what the hell this is

[glossy gazelle]

Not for this discussion

Literally we were going over the reasons Hornet was captured and we derailed because of one term

[deep laurel]

or she was captured to continue the pale king line

[brittle garnet]

huh?

[stark estuary]

“Derailed”

[brittle garnet]

yes it was derailed

[glossy gazelle]

It literally was derailed

[fiery burrow]

Why would the Citadel do that? Its a completely separate kingdom and PK wasn't really meant to have a line that would continue

[stark estuary]

Yes because people in this channel can be expected to only discuss one thing at any one time and ignore everything that’s said if it’s not essential to the original point

[glossy gazelle]

We don’t even know the governing bodies of the citadel yet

[fiery burrow]

Certainly wasn't a friend of PK

Unless its like, a higher being that is somewhat aware of him

[glossy gazelle]

I mean it’s an entire seperate kingdom it’s possible their knowledge of PK was limited

[stark estuary]

Well PK died a very long time ago

[glossy gazelle]

Also that

[stark estuary]

It’s more reasonable to assume that Hornet was captured due to her association with the Weavers

It’s possible that her Wyrm heritage plays into that yes

[fiery burrow]

Has nothing to do with knowledge about PK they are just different kingdoms and societies wyrms form probably didn't interact much

[glossy gazelle]

Well, she’s not really the same “clade” as the weavers.

[stark estuary]

Nothing suggests Pharloom was formed by a Wyrm

[fiery burrow]

Was more talking about Hallownest though I worded it clumsily

[stark estuary]

That’s assuming Wyrms aren’t flat out extinct by the time of SS

[brittle garnet]

i mean another thing that seems to be shared among higher beings is very vast knowledge so maybe there is a higher being in Pharloom that knew of PK and WL or whatever

[stark estuary]

LoS demonstrably has very vast knowledge yes

What is that even supposed to mean

[brittle garnet]

i mean not ones that are newly formed shut up

[glossy gazelle]

Especially when you remember Weavers are not native to Hallownest and arrived from elsewhere…and Hornet is demonstrably from Hallownest lol

[stark estuary]

You also assume Unn has very “vast knowledge” despite the lack of any meaningful interaction with her

[brittle garnet]

i meant things like Grimm knowing about godseeker or WL knowing something about the delicate flowers

[stark estuary]

I suppose the same could be said of Rad

The Heart is kind of a special case and it only makes sense for it to know a great deal about the world

[brittle garnet]

definitely not all of them but enough to form a connection i guess

[stark estuary]

It would be reasonable for extremely old extremely intelligent beings with presumably indefinite lifespans to know a lot about the world around them yes

[brittle garnet]

yeah

[stark estuary]

I’m not sure why that would be a HB thing

[glossy gazelle]

Well bear in mind Unn is notably reclusive compared to literally every other higher being

She’s an outlier

[brittle garnet]

well i'd assume not many non-HB's are ultra long living

White Lady also knows about Grimm

[stark estuary]

When one of six known HBs is an “outlier”, another is newly formed, and a third has no meaningful dialogue then that’s not a very robust connection

[brittle garnet]

idk if it's just a her thing but y'know

[ripe cliff]

I caught a lore convo in #sk-discussion no way

hello kirb

[deep laurel]

the troupe lore is just too confusing

[stark estuary]

NMH knows a lot of shit because it’s traveled the world for god knows how long seems to have some sort of prescience and might absorb memories through Nightmare Essence that’s not a generic HB thing

[stark estuary]

Hello 👋

[brittle garnet]

in any case probably someone in pharloom knows about PK and we will know who it is because it's probably why they even captured hornet in the first place

weavers told them probably idk

[ripe cliff]

Bardoon does allude to that, no?

[stark estuary]

That’s one reading of his dialogue

It could also mean that all of the Wyrms have transformed and that the world is literally getting smaller because this decaying of giant corpses is happening

[brittle garnet]

or maybe because they aren't carving out giant tunnels anymore

[ripe cliff]

It seems weird that Bardoon could possibly know the state of all Wyrms across the world anyways

[brittle garnet]

true

[glossy gazelle]

“With its like gone, the world is smaller.” I assume you mean this line right?

[brittle garnet]

ye

[stark estuary]

He knows a lot about Wyrms and I would argue that if you’re going to claim he couldn’t possibly know the state of Wyrms across the world it would be just as reasonable to claim that he only says that based on his extensive observations after having traveled the world in search of them

Bardoon is presumably very old

[brittle garnet]

anyway

really excited for the possibilities of expanding the wider world of HK in silksong

like the most exciting part to me

[deep laurel]

everyone is very dead or very old

[ebon moat]

for me the most exciting part is the gameplay

[stark estuary]

Elderbug

[ripe cliff]

maybe it's hard for me to picture a gigantic caterpillar travelling across the world and encountering the remains of Wyrms from faraway kingdoms, but it wouldn't be the weirdest thing in this game I suppose

[ebon moat]

i think with horet different combat mechanics you can make an entirely different game in terms of gameplay

[glossy gazelle]

I’m excited for the lore mostly, as well as the npcs and tools

[stark estuary]

To be fair his size is probably beneficial when it comes to traveling the wastes

[robust flame]

Wait you guys are actually talking about silksong??

[brittle garnet]

i wonder if bardoon will metamorphose at some point

[glossy gazelle]

Mainly because it seems SS will likely have higher emphasis on said npcs especially since the main character has the ability to speak

[brittle garnet]

he seems to be based off a caterpillar but that obviously doesn't mean anything

[ripe cliff]

there's less that'd be trying to eat him, yeah
would make getting through narrow tunnels very difficult though

[glossy gazelle]

Yeah bugs purpose in hollow knight definitely don’t equal bugs purpose in reality, otherwise the Mantis tribe would be very different

[ripe cliff]

yeah, don't expect the bugs in this game to follow real-life logic

[brittle garnet]

also can't wait for Huntress' children to eat her

[glossy gazelle]

Bardoon is probably stuck eternally a caterpillar

[brittle garnet]

i'm calling it, it will happen

[coarse leaf]

Havent checked in with this server for a while. Hows everyones sanity doing?

[stark estuary]

Well he presumably wasn’t looking for Wyrms in narrow tunnels in any case

[deep laurel]

he is close to a dead one?

[unique kraken]

[glossy gazelle]

Yeah I’m pretty sure the smallest Wyrm is still bigger than Bardoon

So tunnels shouldn’t really be a problem

[deep laurel]

or was the colosseum not one?

[brittle garnet]

you know, since most inhabitants of hallownest were feral bugs uplifted by PK, they had no culture before, so i'm really interested in the culture of pharloom. Do they have myths, legends, folklore about the wider world? Creation myths?

[coarse leaf]

Yeah I expected that

[brittle garnet]

not as far as is known

[ripe cliff]

the Pale King's Wyrm-corpse

[glossy gazelle]

Also I think the Colossuem is just another big bug

[deep laurel]

actually that would be two in that area maybe

[glossy gazelle]

Not specifically a wyrm

[deep laurel]

probably

[ripe cliff]

WJ refers to it as an ancient bug if i am not mistaken

[narrow prawn]

It is

[shell yacht]

we know for certain that colo isnt a wyrm, shitty old theory.
and as far as we see ingame, no other wyrm was in Hallownest

[fiery burrow]

For certain?

[ripe cliff]

except the Bl-

[glossy gazelle]

Nice to reaffirm anyhow because y’know people usually don’t look at update videos-

[ripe cliff]

Ok I managed to Google it without spoilers I now know all of the main cast

[runic atlas]

True but (almost all) laws are just a bucket list

[shell yacht]

i think thats season one, oh foreman

maybe..

they get stupid nicknames

alot

[runic atlas]

Season 1 is House, Foreman, Cameron, Chase, Wilson

[runic atlas]

It's his last name 😭

[shell yacht]

chase! hes so basic i forgot

camerons mame i couldnt think of bc im just picturing her in Once upon a time

[runic atlas]

Like actually though

Mf looks like the default option in character selection

That said, he's kinda funny sometimes so I'll give him a pass

And yeah also Cuddy is part of the main cast

She's also kinda basic ngl

And the last one we have to say anything about is uhhhh Wilson

Uhh he's kinda hot ig

In Australia

[nimble radish]

TC gotta be making zoteboat in there like how is it taking so long

[ripe cliff]

they're porting it to Oculus

[fiery burrow]

Whats with the radio silence though seriously

A blogpost wouldn't hurt

[ripe cliff]

[fiery burrow]

Its disrespectful to the fans who made the game popular in the first place

[nimble radish]

do you know how crazy a first person silksong would be

[shell yacht]

[ripe cliff]

team cherry decided to add the z axis

[nimble radish]

wilsong? the ball?

is that the show with the guy

[nimble radish]

cast away, the tom hanks movie where he goes to space and the spaceship goes wrong

Today we are reviewing our 374th ss-discussion quote

[south steppe]

true reevers

[coarse leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/cristiano-ronaldo-award-winning-walking-gif-24664103

Thank you thank you

[uncut citrus]

yeah it was quite a silly quote

not the best though, but i happen to be running out of quotes

ive actually been getting by from a load of quotes i saved some time ago, but other than that, i havent gotten many new ones for like two weeks, which is kind of scary, im not self sufficient rn

[upbeat bear]

I am now officially sure I am never coming out to my parents

[coarse leaf]

Congratulations

I said that to supply reeves

Now why not

[upbeat bear]

cause my parents just had a super transphobic conversation with me

and Im still closeted about being a woman with them

[coarse leaf]

Can you like

[upbeat bear]

huh

[coarse leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/house-house-blowing-up-expolison-explosion-gif-21775191

[upbeat bear]

sadly no

cause my brother is pretty chill and will probably the only person I am related to that I will tell

not now tho cause he still in his younger sibling snitch era

[coarse leaf]

Cousin aunt uncles etc

[coarse leaf]

How old

Wait till like he’s 16

[copper shadow]

Holy Fuck Its Coming Out

[flat remnant]

it's gay? good for them

[fiery burrow]

Silksong should have double the gay characters

Trans sherma too while you're at it

[nimble radish]

four

[fiery burrow]

eight

[nimble radish]

six

[uncut citrus]

:(

[uncut citrus]

at least

[nimble radish]

well there was sheo and nailsmith, ze'mer, possibly cloth
who else

[fiery burrow]

Elderbug

[opaque sigil]

traitor's child

[uncut citrus]

ze'mer's lover

silly silly

[nimble radish]

I din't count traitor's child because she's dead

[fiery burrow]

Cloth Ze'mer and Nailsmith are all dead on my file

[uncut citrus]

then you can not count cloth too

[fiery burrow]

Bury your gays.

[unborn dome]

Lacenet

[nimble radish]

I feel like an unnamed dead gay character counts less

[vivid belfry]

I BEAT PERSONA 5

[uncut citrus]

good job bestie

also most watermarked image ever

[fiery burrow]

OK so she's like .5 on the gayness character list

[unborn dome]

base ending or royal ending?

[vivid belfry]

royal

[copper shadow]

yo yall have seen the steamdb updates?

[vivid belfry]

it doesn't have an ending after the base game content

[copper shadow]

Have yall* lol

[jade canopy]

After a short 100 hours or so I wager ? That game doesn’t know when to end

[opaque sigil]

I assume he's asking whether you did the extra palace

[opaque sigil]

royal's implementation does leave something to be desired

[jade canopy]

Tbh base game on its own is just too long

[opaque sigil]

kind of but at least it just ends and is over

[jade canopy]

Like did you really need 5 miniboss to go beat up on that guys cruise ship ?

[opaque sigil]

well yeah that palace is a mess

[jade canopy]

But on the other side you can’t be too mad about it because they make a cool story in which everything is important

[unborn dome]

yeah, makes me regret playing vanilla
I should’ve just waited four years for royal so I wouldn’t have had to play it it twice

[opaque sigil]

I can absolutely be mad about the fact that they wasted a bunch of time bringing up dumb stuff that had no real reason to be relevant

there was no reason to have madarame or kaneshiro have any real connection to anything else, and they also just spent so much time reexplaining shit that was already obvious

[jade canopy]

Yeah it’s a question of trimming down everything down a bit
But it’s hard to say "well you could have just cut down the space dungeon"

[opaque sigil]

the one that really needed trimming was shido's palace, I didn't really have issues with the others for the most part

And Maruki's would've been better in a different place ofc

[unborn dome]

and to think they originally wanted to shoehorn an akechi palace before that one

[vivid belfry]

120

the ending alone was like 45 minutes

opinions on the ||TRUST ME ITS ALL TIED TOGETHER|| part

[vivid belfry]

I don't know if I know what you mean

but I can't think real good right now because my upstairs neighbors are being loud as fuck

[opaque sigil]

I assume shido's palace

tbh the pacing past Naejima's palace for the rest of base game is fucked

and for royal's extra bit really

[rapid topaz]

Ok so that explains why..

[weary tapir]

||everyone and everything was tied back to shido in the end of the game ||

[vivid belfry]

oh, that was a pretty long time ago for my royal playthrough

[shell yacht]

oh us that why chikens turn into.screaming demons after they get stuck in the storm

[weary tapir]

||medjed? shido. akechi? shidos his dad. Principal and SIU director? shido. okumura? shido||

just bad writing imo

[vivid belfry]

I think it makes sense

[weary tapir]

and then to top it ALL off

[opaque sigil]

siu, okumura, medjed, akechi all had to be shido there was no way it would make sense if they weren't

[weary tapir]

||shido is the dude who gets u arrested and expelled ||

[vivid belfry]

||it's only the last half of the game because they drew attention to themselves||

[opaque sigil]

madarame and kaneshiro did not need to be involved

[weary tapir]

it just feels cheap and annoying that this ONE DUDE causes every problem ever

[opaque sigil]

that
is how main antagonists often work

[opaque sigil]

these all form a very reasonable part of his operation

okumura is a bit iffy but money is money and okumura was only picked because of that connection so whatever

[vivid belfry]

it would have been a copout if Okumura didn't have anything to do with shido, or at least the fact that you targeted him

it was very obvious to me in advance that something was wrong with the mission

[opaque sigil]

Yeah that was super clear

the fake medjed also had to have been his affiliates because nobody else would have any reason to go after the party

the problem is as much the game being suuuper condescending in spelling all this shit out as anything else

like half of that palace amounts to "in case you weren't paying attention"

[pulsar sleet]

@coral prawn what about them

[analog vortex]

what happened

[nimble radish]

silksong is out

[opaque sigil]

out of goddamn patience

[copper shadow]

first manual updates in over a year

Might indicate something

[opaque sigil]

the way you phrased it admits that this has happened before, more than a year ago, and meant nothing

[pulsar sleet]

It didn't last year

[analog vortex]

also

what updates were it

[fiery burrow]

Leth said "expect more SteamDB updates closer to release" or something right?

[nimble radish]

something along those lines

[barren sequoia]

Even if its not anything people can believe

[nimble radish]

he also said he was going to get breakfast
And never came back

[analog vortex]

[charred surge]

Look, I admit I don’t know much about aot in particular, but don’t like, most stories have people in one way or another

[pulsar sleet]

I meant people instead of cartoons

As in live action

[charred surge]

Live action? More like mid action amirite or amirite

[charred surge]

No way Shiitake Mushroom

[upbeat bear]

The fact that spotify got the lyrics for pimp homeo but not You aint gotta lie to kick it by Ice Cube is fucking wild to me

why do they got the inbetween but not the actual fucking song after it

[wheat sail]

A good game is never good again, a bad game was made 20 years ago

[unique kraken]

the herrah sneak in the trailer has me hyped

[woven stratus]

huh?

[woven stratus]

the what?

[formal marsh]

it's bait

don't fall for it

[woven stratus]

bait for what? as in for what purpose

[formal marsh]

mislead people

some people just think its funny to spread misinformation

[unique kraken]

how is it bairt

is that not herrah's mask

it's not a new trailer if that's what you're asking

[fiery burrow]

Thats a weaver, seperate type of spider

Herrah has a different headshape and she's also not related to pharloom

[unique kraken]

oh you're right 💔

[uncut citrus]

no its a weaver

[unique kraken]

do we know that

[fiery burrow]

Why would she be related to Pharloom

[unique kraken]

idk maybe she's from there

[formal marsh]

sorry, i assumed your intentions

but, yeah, that's a weaver mask/head

[woven stratus]

ah okay

[unique kraken]

oh well

[fiery burrow]

Weavers came from Pharloom to Hallownest but as far as we are concerned Herrah and the rest of their species are Deepnest natives

[formal marsh]

weavers will definitely play a big part in SS

[woven stratus]

entirly possible but i doubt it due to the different design from the weavers and her

[unique kraken]

idk just with the six eyes i feel like they could be connected

[woven stratus]

possibly still doubt it

[formal marsh]

i think that's a standard for all spider-like creatures, even in HK

[flat remnant]

spiders produce silk
weavers are meant to be spider-adjacent

but who will produce song 😔

[upbeat bear]

me

I will personally make song

[flat remnant]

[upbeat bear]

I am very musically untalented

but I believe in my self

[fiery burrow]

[formal marsh]

you will not believe this
[insert image of hornet playing her needle like an instrument]

[upbeat bear]

so I will row row fight the powa

[woven stratus]

still though i think that herrah might be related to the weavers but isn't from their land

[fiery burrow]

Song is probably made with silk anyways

Thats how weaversong works

[upbeat bear]

nah

[flat remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-hollow-knight-hornet-needle-hornet-playing-her-needle-gif-24057267

[fiery burrow]

[upbeat bear]

[unique kraken]

wait are weavers different than spiders

let me be so real i'm not 100% on the lore

[fiery burrow]

Different type of spider

[unique kraken]

oh i see

[formal marsh]

cant believe TK kills white lady in-game to make kigsoul 💔

[fiery burrow]

[upbeat bear]

they are actually birds

You probably won’t have to
The steam page was manually updated

They do this every once in a while

#sk-discussion message

Those are automatic

[opaque sigil]

if it's been happening for years it doesn't mean anything

[cerulean sable]

they should expand silksong's cuisine

bugs need to eat, and sometimes you can infer more of their culture from their food alone

like the ant guys would probably lava roast a lot of their food for example

[wheat sail]

Bugs got more protein per area than cows

Eat a handful of crickets

[neon adder]

Darn

[neon adder]

Lava roasting sounds 🔥

[proud vale]

Anyone on the steam ID change hype bus?

[young saffron]

So hyped for silkdong

Good morning

[ripe cliff]

it's silicon time

[cerulean sable]

honestly its a stretch

but i do think theyre cooking something this year

[fiery burrow]

Its a miracle what people have came up with what HK has tbh

Would be super happy for Silksong to give us more

[proud vale]

Yeah there was also this as a semi debunk https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/s/JCOsZm6fJP

[ripe cliff]

Bitterbug tea

[cerulean sable]

wdym as a semi debunk

ohh

i got it

HK also had the same changes

imo they should cross reference it to other games

[wheat sail]

Silksong steam market

[cerulean sable]

this might be the same situation we had from "HK UPDATE!!!" turning out to be a universal steam change

[ripe cliff]

chat is this credible

[proud vale]

I think the changes are to community items specifically, so maybe they’re adding Silksong items into the HK store page?

[ripe cliff]

random reddit user #2408

[wheat sail]

Can be easily checked though

[cerulean sable]

yeah

[fiery burrow]

This dude looks pretty delectable

[wheat sail]

I don't feel like it though

[cerulean sable]

all in all if this is (say valid) then theyre setting up the steam card part

yeah im not really putting much bets on this

[neon adder]

I’m praying for news

[wheat sail]

June 2024

[cerulean sable]

i have more basis on Leth speaking out more often than i am with this one

if all else

Summer Games Fest

[ripe cliff]

wait Orange is this you lmao

[proud vale]

Yeah fair

[neon adder]

How would we go about cooking him

[proud vale]

Huh no

[cerulean sable]

but on the flipside, Leth is just doing it to dispell all the rumors and damage control because some idiots are still spreading out misinfo

[fiery burrow]

Hmm

Wonder how they would cook stuff in the coral gorge

[cerulean sable]

making conclusions like these is dumb tho

[fiery burrow]

Boiled water?

[neon adder]

Grilling, probably

[ripe cliff]

coral is like a rock exoskeleton not tasty

[neon adder]

Or boiling, maybe

[cerulean sable]

this is exactly what gets you on that cycle of "wtf is TC doing?????" when youre making assumptions like these

[ripe cliff]

or perhaps this is a decorator-crab esque enemy instead of literal living coral

[neon adder]

It’s full of tiny bits of meat though, and that dude looks like he can be shelled anyway

[cerulean sable]

like its ok to be cautiously hyped but man, dont start drawing conclusions and setting yourself up with dissapointment

[cerulean sable]

could probably be like clams

has a soft interior you can eat on

and a species could probably evolve to be able to extract nutrients from it

[neon adder]

I think that he would be good cooked in wine

[cerulean sable]

like, i know IRL biology and evolution should not be taken too seriously in the context of HK

[neon adder]

Cough cough void

[cerulean sable]

but just cuz theyre corals doesnt mean a species cant get nutrients out of it even if the explanation is videogamey

you have the hunter after all who has pretty much almost eaten living thing in Hallownest

[neon adder]

I think he’s a crab who just looks like coral

[cerulean sable]

yeah again could just have it like a protective exterior

kinda like lion fishes for example, but i heard theres a species that can prey on them and ignore the toxins

[neon adder]

Now then, how would we go about cooking them

[cerulean sable]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synanceia

moss sprouts are probably on the lower tier of the eco system

just like gruzzers

oh ofc

not surprised

[fiery burrow]

Cooking pot

[opaque sigil]

I just want one canon pale ore fridge in a background somewhere

I don’t care if there is no other pale ore in the kingdom

[fiery burrow]

What do you think the White Palace is

[opaque sigil]

You don’t make ice cream in a morgue

[fiery burrow]

Pale King retreated to his Ice Cream factory and ate his heart out while crying himself to death

[opaque sigil]

The gruzzer milk walked so dustroach ice cream could run

[feral lark]

Were the changes on the steam thing automatic?

I saw some people saying they were and some saying they weren’t

[cerulean sable]

we dont know atm

the best way to check is to also check other steam games

[opaque sigil]

Steam page updates have been happening for years automatic or no it doesn’t matter

[feral lark]

I think it’s still posssible it’s something especially with the kickstarter being logged in to

[fiery burrow]

mb

[feral lark]

I say we get something soon

[atomic sparrow]

they didn't make it last year surely they'll make it this year

[feral lark]

I feel like it’s possible for anytime to be something

[feral lark]

Bc they may just want it out as soon as it’s done

[neon adder]

Those faces have survived since the archaic days of the Internet

How eludes me

[rigid nest]

The one with tag changes are. But there was a manual push on March. Doesnt mean anything as the change is hidden.

[neon adder]

Sure

[opaque sigil]

There have been manual changes for years

It’s not new and it definitely can’t be assumed to mean anything significant is happening.

[feral lark]

I saw someone saying it was related to communtiy items

Does that mean anything

[opaque sigil]

Randos making guesses

No it doesn’t

[feral lark]

Nah like it was titled under community items i think

[rigid nest]

Yeah it was a hollow knight changelist that happened a minute apart from silksong

Doesnt mean anything though

[opaque sigil]

Didn’t know hollow knight was about to release

[feral lark]

lol

I feel it’s still a very slightly good sign even if it’s prob nothing

[wispy pagoda]

i think the last manual change was January 2023

[hazy fox]

Guys which do you think will happen first, silk song releasing or the sun exploding?

[wispy pagoda]

they changed the release date from TBA to To Be Announced

[wispy pagoda]

sun exploding definitely

[feral lark]

Hopefully some aliens find the game

[fiery burrow]

Do you think x unrelated game to silksong will release before silksong

[cerulean sable]

hope all you want if thats what makes you happy but please
dont start getting into the "THIS HAS TO MEAN RELEASE RIGHT" assurance mindset 🥴

[hazy fox]

GASP IS THAT A FELLOW OUTER WILDS FAN I SEE!?!

[feral lark]

One of these days the hope will be right

[fiery burrow]

I used to hope...

[feral lark]

Some day

[fiery burrow]

Then I played Terraria and realized I had better stuff to do

[cerulean sable]

someday

just dont go on the same cycle of hope, then immediately nothing happens, then its back to "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH TEAM CHERRY"

i swear this fandom feels like it can be encapsulated by this alone

[wispy pagoda]

lmao facts

[feral lark]

I mean people who actually get annoyed are weird

It’s just fun to hope

[cerulean sable]

they are

want my honest opinion? im cautiously hoping that these changes actually do have meaning

[feral lark]

Key word cautiously lol

[lone lichen]

ari gibson shanked me and hit the griddy

[cerulean sable]

i just find the people who are unironically 100% assuredly thinking that this means the release is close to be the exact same people cycle crying about why the fuck TC is not doing anything, then followed by insane theories like "OMG WHAT IF THEY ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE GAME OR THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS DIED"

especially during large events like directs

[feral lark]

I think people gotta remember it should all be in good fun lol

[cerulean sable]

comes in the server
"putting on my clown mask on 🤡 "
nothing happens
8 hour debate and theories why TC hasnt released the game yet
followed by "this game is never gonna happen tbh. i dont fucking care anymore"
goes dormant again
repeats the cycle next event

[feral lark]

Tryna make the wait more interesting

[rapid topaz]

"What if there was a disaster in Australia"

[lone lichen]

what if australia got nuked in 2020 and the feds are gaslighting us

[cerulean sable]

"Ari and William are in a fight rn preventing them from finishing the game"

[fiery burrow]

What if a tornado hit Adelaide 😔

[olive bobcat]

Mfers be like "being realistic we won't get news until [blank]" bro that ain't realistic that's just a guess

[uncut citrus]

guessing, we won't get news until the 8th april 2024

[wispy pagoda]

thats the interesting thing imo is that theyve been "finishing" the game for four years: They said so in the treehouse gamplay and Lerth has said so multiple times

[olive bobcat]

https://youtu.be/2Bd0eYVF0yw

Lerth

[wispy pagoda]

also ik treehouse is not that reliable of a source but yk

[cerulean sable]

is this about the part where Leth said you could say the game is finished?

because, thats not what he was saying, or what he was saying about Silksong

[lone lichen]

here we go again

[wheat sail]

Royals roooyals

[cerulean sable]

seriously the fact that that misinfo is still ongoing is hilarious

[wispy pagoda]

na like in 2021 when he told the parody account to stop posting he said they were "distracting team cherry from finishing silksong"

[olive bobcat]

ikr

[cerulean sable]

i mean

[lone lichen]

least misleading yt thumbnail

[cerulean sable]

every dev is finishing a game

[wispy pagoda]

true lol

[uncut citrus]

honestly quite crazy, like who even does misinfo? you'd have to be stupid to go out of your way and make fakes and stuff....

[cerulean sable]

"we wanna finish a project" can literally apply to any degree of a game regardless of how far its in

[uncut citrus]

it's flabbergasting!!

[wheat sail]

Ok reeves

[wispy pagoda]

yea... imo its usually used more in the context of it being almost done though

[cerulean sable]

that misinfo guy was more or less a "we dont wanna deal with people constantly getting misled and spreading assumptions that the game is going to release because of a parody account, its just gonna cause problems and distract us from continuing developement on the game"

this fandom tends to twist words and specifics to create a conclusion that the game is close to being finished

[cerulean sable]

eitherway my honest opinion on the the entire update fiasco

[wheat sail]

Thanks for sharing burrito

[cerulean sable]

my pragmatic side is telling me that its just probably some auto update or some config and it wont matter much, but my optimistic side is im really hoping this is related to them preparing the Steam store stuff for Silksong and updating some at Hollow Knight, not as an indicator for release but more or less in preparation for one now that theyre more or less confident for an actual release

[wispy pagoda]

my copium side agrees with yours especially because of the kickstarter signin, could be gathering emails to send codes to??? Maybe??

[cerulean sable]

its the little things yeah

[weary tapir]

sephirophs theme may be one of the best recorded things in like the history of video games

its crazy

[cerulean sable]

the back end update, the kickstarter sign in, leth being a lot more active, were kinda past the 1 year supposed "release"

again nothing conclusive

instinctively

[flat remnant]

real talk though I'm really partial to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uhDyVG9UGFA

[weary tapir]

oh HELL yeah

[flat remnant]

something about it gives this quaint nostalgia i appreciate

[weary tapir]

u know what has an under rated ost

[wheat sail]

SO MANY CLASSICS FROM THIS GAME

[weary tapir]

kirbys dream land 3 is underrated ost

[wheat sail]

Gyat awooga

[flat remnant]

i was about to say genuine kirbstar moment

I like this song and I think I have not heard a single person ever talk about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF-wUZreoxk&list=PLIgM4y_ZygHQSLVBszhJ7AiIpSEuRxc34&index=10

or the infamous- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayCeYazx1c4&list=PLIgM4y_ZygHQSLVBszhJ7AiIpSEuRxc34&index=16

[wheat sail]

Sand canyon 1 is well known I think

[flat remnant]

i could've sworn this one was in rtdl

[weary tapir]

nope!

it was only remastered in fricken star allies

for I think 1 level

[flat remnant]

ah

[weary tapir]

broke: gourmet race
woke: sand canyon 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgzJiTQ5fio&list=PLIgM4y_ZygHQSLVBszhJ7AiIpSEuRxc34&index=17

(it's just gourmet race)

[wheat sail]

Gourmet race in e minor

[weary tapir]

any version of gourmet race is better than the brawl version of gourmet race don't @ me

[wheat sail]

It's just a different style

[weary tapir]

the guitar is too much 4 me

too much distortion

[wheat sail]

Says the persona fan

[flat remnant]

brawl meta knight theme though >>

[weary tapir]

TRUE

love brawl meta knight theme

[wheat sail]

Melee music tho

[weary tapir]

persona doesn't have many blaring guitars except for strikers

[wheat sail]

Wrong

https://youtu.be/Gvv4RlClv4g

[weary tapir]

melee was peak smash and always will be

I do not make the rules

best competitive scene, best vibes, best music

[wheat sail]

I like watching melee, and playing ultimate

[weary tapir]

ALTHOUGH

I think 64 has the best sound effects

I love how punchy everything sounds in that game

[wheat sail]

They're good yeah

Subspace emmosary in smash 6

[weary tapir]

tell me this isn't the goofiest yet most satisfying falcon punch and hit sound effect ever

the PYING hits every time

I fucking love it

[flat remnant]

[wheat sail]

Rivals 2

[weary tapir]

this may be the craziest combo in smash history bc of how insane it is

I love 64 combo tournaments

the fucking lineup at the end is just unreal

[grand ferry]

gourmet

[lone lichen]

rivals 2 beta...

[weary tapir]

This one also fucking nuts

the slowmo punch @ the end is insane

[cerulean sable]

honestly what im really looking forward in SS isnt the lore, the story, the music nor the gameplay

but rather just to know if Hornet truely is the Hallowed One

[weary tapir]

what was this about a kickstarter sign in?

[lone lichen]

wdym

[weary tapir]

this

[feral lark]

Idk they just signed into it lol

[lone lichen]

oh idk

[feral lark]

Hasnt happened in awhile so people were interested

[weary tapir]

when did this happen

[feral lark]

Late feb

[lone lichen]

currently have terminal rivals 2 brain so i was thinking about that kickstarter

[feral lark]

Not sure exactly when

[weary tapir]

stretch goals for that were a lil ridiculous imo

character tutorials not being met is sad

one of the big things I liked abt rivals

[lone lichen]

i don't think they were too unreasonable given the scope, quality, and timeline they want
the other stuff will def come down the line

i might've been worried if they hadn't already shown a bunch of gameplay that looks really good

(not super related but leffen malding over day 1 kragg stuff was really funny)

[tame atlas]

Just heard about the updates for Silksong on steam. Is it safe to hope

[vivid belfry]

I didn't hear about it, so no

[tame atlas]

this thingy

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2F6sfedcf4b5mc1.png%3Fwidth%3D1024%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Db0472a71e587ada7c49d64a77f461e0c152f9357

[vivid belfry]

probably means something, but I don't think it points to any particular release window

I do believe it will be this year at least

[tame atlas]

neat

[sage glade]

zzz

[weary tapir]

oh this rocks

[inland ravine]

sup everyone

[golden pawn]

GWNJ!!!

[inland ravine]

AST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[coral prawn]

Idk

[inland ravine]

corn

[coral prawn]

Gwnj

[rapid topaz]

Can't wait for the ending where Hornet goes like "After all, I truly was the silksong"

fading black screen, credits

[pulsar sleet]

Feb 23

[pulsar sleet]

When was the last time you thought the game would come out within the year?

[wispy pagoda]

did you know 95% of hollow knight fans quit right before silksong releases?

[rapid topaz]

Honestly silksong should have dialogue options for NPC that influence on an hidden karma value through your playthrough and triggers certain events depending on that value

[grand ferry]

what no pls

[rapid topaz]

Also, mace weapons

[rapid topaz]

thanks god it won't have it

[coral prawn]

Yes please

[feral lark]

How much larger do you guys think silksong will be

[rapid topaz]

and then you'd go like "I beat the pacifist route in silksong"

[feral lark]

Compared to hk

[rapid topaz]

At least 2 meters

[gloomy salmon]

at least 80% bigger, if not more than twice it almost twice as big

[feral lark]

Doesn’t hornet move faster

I heard soemthing saying that’s the reason

[gloomy salmon]

cuz she taller

[rapid topaz]

There's also another reasoning with the benches

I need to find that info again

[gloomy salmon]

I wonder if we can visit Hallownest in Silksong?

[rapid topaz]

But basically many benches = big map as long as we assume they're not too close from each other

that's the theory (very simplified)

I think it's in Edge?

[gloomy salmon]

Hornet is pretty fast and agile, pretty sure the benches wont be near each other

[barren sequoia]

Its one bench per square meter

[gloomy salmon]

or the game will be too easy

[feral lark]

I hope we get to see cornifer somewhere maybe if it’s a prequel

[gloomy salmon]

or Quirrel

[pulsar sleet]

Or Quishma

[balmy sage]

Or Mr mushroom

[gloomy salmon]

bro Ive been clowning myself by saying "Silksong will be released in February"

since 2021

[rapid topaz]

Yep the benches info was in Edge

[feral lark]

I just need cornifer he’s my favourite

[wispy pagoda]

maybe hes shakra's master that she's looking for
