that's what the upgrade does yeah

runic atlas
#

so the card should go to discard pile but it doesnt

opaque sigil
#

I thought you were asking what happened if you played multiple echo forms

runic atlas
#

oh yeah i was i forgot

#

yeah just checked it does the first x cards

#

but also the upgrade seems to not work?

opaque sigil
#

wdym

#

removing ethereal doesn't let you play the card multiple times, it just stops it exhausting if you don't play it

runic atlas
#

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

opaque sigil
#

powers don't go to discard once you play them, they're a one time use

runic atlas
#

how do you tell what is a power and what is a skill

opaque sigil

upbeat bear
#

music is a part of the human soul

I do listen to soundtracks of things I like when i'm at home but im too lazy to make a playlist for when im driving or something

jap jazz funk

hella bluesy

#

Been listening to more english/kpop jst so I can relate to people

#

I think I’m general more chiller derivatives of jazz are coming through to pop

#

Like laufey type thing ykkyyk

#

Laufey is more jazz pop but as in bossa nova, more lofi stuff like r&b but there’s definitely a direction towards jazz conventions in my opinion

or jungle

modest night
#

i think it's just electro

#

like not particularly breakcore

wide quartz
cerulean sable
#

electro...

#

CHEMISTRY???

#

also i still cannot understand breakcore

wide quartz
#

being written from the male perspective makes that choice seem reasonable, but i see why it can still be offputting

cerulean sable
#

its tududududududududbrrbrbrbrbrbrbrbbnrbrbrbrrbbrtutntutntutntubrrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr

modest night
#

because at face value it just reads like a dude writing about yet another annoying grooming trope in a medium that doesn't take that shit seriously typically

cerulean sable
#

or maybe it really is a case like that one guy i saw online say: "breakcore has no inbetween, the good ones are really good but anything else is just bad"

modest night
#

ttacco i don't understand music genres really.....

#

all these people say words i think they're lying but i get the vague gist of them

cerulean sable
#

dont mind me im just perplexed by the genre itself

#

more of a "i cant seem to get why its good" unless theres a really good melody to it

modest night
#

dude do you like the ultrakill ost

#

boom breakcore fan or something

cerulean sable
#

oh i like ultrakill's ost yeah

#

just that the ones that i got on spotify's recommendation is

silver oak
#

Breakcore is nice

cerulean sable
#

well honestly i didnt like any of them

upbeat bear
cerulean sable
#

ok i think this is just a case of me receiving the wrong subgenre

modest night
#

i like this breakcore track

silver oak
#

But I like hardcore dubstep and like riddim and stuff so I’m down for a lot of stuff in terms of weirdness

music is music

cerulean sable
upbeat bear
#

NEW FALL OUT BOY SINGLE

cerulean sable
#

yeah yeah i jest

silver oak
#

Duran Duran 1.5?

cerulean sable
#

but like, these recommendations that the original spotify playlist i got recommend to is like, a bit too "dry"

upbeat bear
cerulean sable
#

its like theres no progression or its not going anywhere? if that makes sense

silver oak
#

The switchups are insane

cerulean sable
#

again might not just be my cup of tea, but its why i dismissed the genre immediately because i assumed this is all what the rest of them are 🄓

#

yeah i liked ur recommendation

modest night
silver oak
#

Six impala mentioned

modest night
#

not sure what they're classified as but yeah

silver oak
#

They’re a collective of artists so hard to define

Underscores is part of them, or was

modest night
#

i made my spotify recommendations based and now it's only like 10k listener artists and meme albums most of the time

cerulean sable
#

according to the author this is apparently EDM/Jungle but i cant find anything that sounds similar in the atmospheric layer

silver oak
#

I almost never use spotify recs

modest night
#

floaty style so maybe it fits

upbeat bear
cerulean sable
#

THIS IS THE FUCKING STUFF IM TALKING ABOUT

#

you should ping winter

@violet dune unleas ur recoms, i fucking need ittt

#

This isn’t really breakcore, at least the start

if yall could have a JoJo’s stand irl what would it be

i wouldn't have one i stand well enough on my own

(nice track though)

upbeat bear
cerulean sable
#

the instrumentation is unironically reminding me of Muse

#

(this is a good thing)

upbeat bear
#

completly worthless stands or stands that have no benefit for that specific user

cerulean sable
#

though im liking the guitars on Fia more

upbeat bear

or hyper specific activation requirments

it's from igorrr and another french artist

well for preexisting huh... maybe the Healing stand of Josuke
Because you know, wounds sucks

ye sonia

Can the stand of Josuke heal depression

this album is getting a certified ttacco seal of tortilla

But like, theorically you could heal mental wounds right?

#

for other people

wide quartz

#

nah he is purely limited to physical wounds

cause he just repairs physical objects

John Money, Inventor of Money, dead at 43

which he does use to mentally torture his opponents at times

I agree he's cooler in appearance

like highway star’s user

Treue

upbeat bear
#

if harvest was tied to a physically stronger user part 4 would have been over so quick

rapid topaz
#

Ngl I'd be opressed if I see them in the streets even if they're cool looking

upbeat bear
#

this is the most goated stand and I will die on this hill

#

that reminds me is there an actual limit to how many individual harvests shigechi could spawn

rapid topaz
#

I forgot if they speak or make sounds

upbeat bear
rapid topaz
#

having them in your house can be annoying if so

upbeat bear
#

I mean stands only apear when you summon them

rapid topaz
upbeat bear
#

except for like certain cases

rapid topaz
upbeat bear
#

im pretty sure harvest is basically silent anyways so im set

#

its also a long ranged stand so the user isnt actually affected by what happens to it

upbeat bear
rapid topaz
#

or you are bad at understanding

#

or both

upbeat bear
#

little bit of both

rapid topaz
#

Well I just meant that if theorically stands existed IRL, most of them would be like, scary? idk how to say
I don't see why people would be ok with them

#

If you can see them

upbeat bear
#

non stand users cant see stands so

rapid topaz
#

of course it's a fiction and the characters are brave enough to fight them, that's a whole other context

upbeat bear
#

while regular civilians can still be affected by stands

#

they cant actually see them or interact with them

rapid topaz
#

yeah but like imagine you get hit by an invisible force like that

#

by randomly walking somewhere

#

in any scenario that would suck

upbeat bear
#

I mean like

#

very rarely do stands affect regular ass people

#

a lot of the time the universe just kinda bends so that questions arent asked

rapid topaz
#

Because it depends on how people use them, if the user is an asshole, people are most likely doomed you know what I mean

upbeat bear
#

like the grateful dead

rapid topaz
#

can you trust people IRL on that though

upbeat bear
#

I mean most likely stand users just run into each other

#

which is sometimes bad

rapid topaz
#

yeah true

upbeat bear
#

for the entire world

#

cough cough part 6 cough cough

stark crescent
#

When do yall think ss comes out?

upbeat bear
fiery burrow
#

We don't really have enough information to draw conclusions

high hedge
#

So they often naturally encounter each other

#

But also outside of Part 4 stand users are typically sent after the protagonists

born to be like shigechi forced to be like koichi but tall

she seems to not have the exact same abilities except wall climb

I want to be married to grapple hooks in videogames

My love for this has grown since past years

My one potential issue with the ledge grab in silksong can be seen in blasphemous 2

silver oak

I swear I’m forgetting an element other than tools and silk abilities

oh right crest layouts

#

Different attacks will be fun

silver oak
#

Yeah hopefully it will allow for more varied playstyles

As long as they balance it well

jade canopy

In BL2, pulling up from a ledge is so fast that it can be difficult to drop down from one

stark crescent
#

Will ss even ever release?

wanton charm
#

Yeah, I mean it's been 5 years+ so 🤷

silver oak
#

yes

vivid belfry
#

Of course that could be fixed by just not having platforms too close together

silver oak
#

patience is key

stark crescent
#

I need the key

silver oak
rapid topaz
#

One game that use grapple is A Story About My Uncle, I need to try it so bad

vivid belfry
#

You get caught on ledges and instantly pull yourself onto the platform before you can cancel the grab

wanton charm
#

I bet TC will stay silent even after the release of silksong

silver oak
#

Who knows

#

The future is bright

vivid belfry
#

You have to he pretty conscious about letting go of the analog stick before or as you touch the ledge

#

But there aren't many instances in the game where it's a problem

They’ll probably be a handful of interviews and whatnot before they buckle in and work on their next project

#

Idk, they just disappeared for 5 years with no official word from them, just affirmations from leth

runic atlas
#

When Silksong releases people will be immediately saying "So how long until post launch free dlc?"

stark crescent

5+ years

silver oak

The chances that silksong will have dlc at all is low imo

Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, oh well hopefully this is the year lads

Prop isnt

opaque sigil

#

Dlc will prolly be included at release as part of the game

stark crescent
#

2025

A big reason HK had so many content packs was because they didn’t think the game was finished

I wouldn’t mind a game that’s similar size to HK as long as it’s of a quality TC is proud of

warped rock
stark crescent
#

And not just 2x bec if the 12%

cerulean sable
#

silksong fans be like: theres no way silksong should take this long its just a 2d game while also simultaneously saying "a 3 man studio should be able to make a 100 hour long game at this point"

stark crescent

Of

silver oak
#

Keep in mind HK is one of the nicest Metroidvanias ever

silver oak
#

Ok I meant biggest but nicest works too

wanton charm

I rl hope that the game will be more than 2x bec the 12% will prop make the playtime 2x longer

I used maths to determine that silksong will take 74 silkillions seconds to complete

wanton charm
#

Just based off the trailers silksong looks fucking epic, already looked better than hk in 2019 reveal

imagine we play it and then it says "to be continued in part 2"

id rather have 30-40 hours of meaningful content vs to 100h where 80% of it mindlessly grinding

fiery burrow
#

Moss grotto is so nice sounding

cerulean sable
#

30-40 is already pushing it tbh

silver oak
#

HK took me like 70 hours the first time I think

cerulean sable
fiery burrow
#

Because grinding is miserable as was the final percentages in HK

runic atlas
#

Tbh Silksong should be twice as large as Elden Ring including the DLC

wanton charm
fiery burrow
#

Godhome was OK

modest night
#

i also loved godhome

cerulean sable
#

in a best of both worlds its would be cool to have that much unique content, but again, were talking UNIQUE content, and you can only do so much unless you introduce an entirely different gameplay element

fiery burrow
#

I enjoy the first 4 pantheons

#

Probably because they aren't 30 minutes long

rapid topaz
#

yeah I'd rather play 30-40h and then eventually replay the game in a different way just like in HK, than 100+ hours with stretched out parts that are annoying to redo

cerulean sable
#

and also i find 20-30 hours of high quality content thats REPLAYABLE to be better than 100h of grinding

šŸ¤

cerulean sable

but if a game boils down to numbers by adding repetitive content, i might as well not touch the game again

#

yeah, what about 12%?

silver oak
#

wdym by 12%, just godhome stuff?

stark crescent
#

Ye

fiery burrow
#

Silksoul will probably help with replayability

stark crescent
#

That was grinding

cerulean sable
#

yeah i did, and why is this relevant again

runic atlas
wanton charm
cerulean sable
#

yeah i did 112 for the sake of it but i didnt exactly enjoy it as much as the core game

#

it was just out of stubborn completionism

stark crescent
#

Same

cerulean sable
#

but not exactly something id do again

fiery burrow
opaque sigil
#

godhome just doesn't do the stuff that makes hk exceptional

runic atlas
#

Pantheon 5 isn't even needed for 112% and the rest wasn't really grindy at all

warped rock
#

the completion of hk is fun

cerulean sable
#

yeah agreed

silver oak
#

Look I say I don’t like godhome but really it’s not that bad, just in comparison to the rest of the game it doesn’t give me a whole lot to come back to

stark crescent
#

Im not gonna do the 12% in my second playtrough

modest night
#

you guys are just godhome haters sigh.......

#

nah but it's kinda its own seperate thing

silver oak

And proud

Godhome would be so much better with toggleable bindings

Godhome best part of the game tbh

i think the core of what made HK good is the exploration, having the boss rush option is fine dont get me wrong, its there for people who wanted to master the combat aspect

but if not exactly going to be excited if they start advertising Silksong to have x amount more hours but most of it is going to be grinding

silver oak
#

I think it’s the easiest part of the game to not like, even if you loved the rest

cerulean sable
#

ehem Ubisoft games ehem

modest night
#

i think it was a good addition because i love replaying bosses and the difficulty in the base game dies as soon as you use spells, so if you're looking for that the bosses is also a nice touch even if it's not necessary at all

cerulean sable
#

they didnt

silver oak
#

According to EDGE silksong will have a focus on combat

warped rock
#

my favorite part of hollow knight is the movement, music, and collecting stuff doing the little things like collecting charms and stuff

that's so sad why are we talking about hypothetical advertisement

I loved the exploration of holloe know. Thats why mine second playtrough of the game after 5 years, still isnt the same

warped rock
modest night
#

hk is a bit unreplayable for me because i know what im gonna find and that's completely ok

#

godhome fills that spot replayability wise

fiery burrow
#

What can top WP and PoP tbh

cerulean sable
#

im just using it as an example with people wanting Silksong to be 100+ hours

thats not just realistic because at a certain point, youll reach an upperbound and you can only do so much unless you start introducing entiretly different systems to the game, that it might as well feel divorced or bloated. a more focused experience is better vs trying to kitchen sink it

if your game is good enough, youll get your 100h+ of content via replaying it if its justifiable to do so (ie games like Dark Souls with the build variety for example)

wanton charm
#

Idk, silksong cannot release near gta6, it would be overshadowed

runic atlas
warped rock
cerulean sable
#

if theyre gonna add a grind element then thats fine, just dont center the game around it, and make it optional if you can

fiery burrow
#

Though I absolutely love it for its unique stuff

stark crescent
#

Celeste is parcour

#

Not the same as holloe knight

wanton charm
#

And gta6 is slated for sometime Q1 2025, so hopefully silksong before then

cerulean sable
#

imagine if youre gated progression wise until you reach a certain level ( this applies to any game btw ), and youll end up doing repetitition just to be able to push past through the story

thats not "SEE WE ADDED 300h OF MORE CONTENT" thats just senseless padding

fiery burrow
rapid topaz
#

My point of view of a good scenario about Silksong "length" would be about 30-40h for base game, more if you want to minmax all and search secrets, but then a very solid alternate game mode (which isn't the mid permadeath one) that would make you replay and enjoy the game a second time.
So that given your knowledge and expertise you gathered about your first time, you could approach it in a different way since the game would be twisted/made harder/or anything that is convincing enough to be fun as a second playthrough

silver oak
wanton charm
#

That'd be cool

silver oak
#

Anyway I don’t think the GTA and Silksong core audiences are gonna have a huge overlap

opaque sigil
#

if ss is structured like hk the playtime will probably be a pretty highly variable thing

cerulean sable
#

replayability is going to be on your alternative mode, and in return you dont have to add tedious elements to try and inflate your game's length

modest night
#

i don't think it really makes sense to talk about the perfect game length i mean like, im fine with any length as long as the experience feels right

modest night
#

im sure they'll do that but we don't need to make up stuff to disagree about idk

#

im excited to buy silksong merch

fiery burrow
#

tbh I'm gonna miss the extra 12% because that made routing quite fun for the achievements

warped rock
silver oak
#

there was definitely stuff I found for the first time in my second playthrough of HK

fiery burrow
warped rock
cerulean sable
#

in a perfect world wed get Silksong with high quality content for plenty of hours

but thats unrealistic, right now the most pragmatic way of expecting it is "im expecting 20-30h of quality content from TC, if theres more then thats good, but i dont need to expect 100h out of it"

this is more of a critic to the fanbase expecting 100h at the minimum for everything, ive seen enough "THIS GAME HAS TAKEN SO LONG, I EXPECT IT TO BE 2x OR 3x LARGER THAN HK"

silver oak
#

I’ve heard omori does this well

rapid topaz
#

nonlinearity should be present for that genre of game anyways, but I think HK did that in a smart way by keeping the original Metroids philosophy, where sequence breaks are allowed as they won't lock you behind any content in the game.

A good example is getting to Hornet 2 fight before Hornet 1, even if it's weird it's completely allowed and you can trigger Hornet 1 event afterward with no issues.

opaque sigil
#

would be a bit weird if it didn't have upgrades, doubt pale ore will be back

wanton charm
#

I tried beating hornet sentinel with 5 masks and baby nail on steel soul, it didn't end well

fiery burrow
#

Shining ore

cerulean sable
#

also while its subjective, theres grounds discussion whether HK felt too long for its own good, but thats another entirely different discussion

opaque sigil
#

eh HK is as long as you make it

silver oak
#

I mean like people have pointed out categorizing games by amount of hours is faulty because of differences in skill and familiarity

cerulean sable
#

i dont share the sentiment but HK has been criticized about it before

fiery burrow
#

Its only like that if you 112% it imo

versed pollen
#

There'll be a plant that Hornet wraps around her needle to upgrade it Imo

fiery burrow
#

Getting all grubs certainly is annoying

runic atlas
silver oak
#

Hornet cosmetics or we riot

cerulean sable
#

im still on the camp that TGT is only carried by the boss fight, the actual "quest" is

well to be frank, shit tbh

#

20-30 hours is not pessimistic tbh

#

a lot of high quality games are around that margin

opaque sigil
cerulean sable
#

if pushes to 30-40h then thats good, but around 60+ and the only time expecting that is from RPGs most of the time

silver oak
#

I’m expecting to take like at least 50 hours on silksong, if it’s comparable to HK

cerulean sable
#

but again its nto really something we can quantify right now

silver oak
#

I’m just not that good at games lmao

wanton charm
cerulean sable
#

all in all

Silksong having around the same length of HK but at a higher quality >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> expecting 100h at the minimum

#

honestly that does not sound like a good fit

silver oak
cerulean sable
#

anyway i think SS improving pacing is already gonna fix like, 50% of the first game's problems/criticisms

opaque sigil
#

messy non-normalized movement

cerulean sable
#

it is unironically THE biggest thing thats complained about the game

silver oak
#

You mean in the beginning?

fiery burrow
#

Imo better complex enemy design is also a huge deal

cerulean sable
#

both the start and just the movement

wanton charm
opaque sigil
#

I don't really think the pacing in hk's early game is bad, it's just a bit of a gradual introduction and that feels bad on subsequent playthroughs

cerulean sable
#

i would agree to some extent BUT
ive seen enough people drop the game saying they had to force themselves until wall climb

stark crescent
#

Yap yap yap, i just wanna play silksong

fiery burrow
#

The map equipment is kinda pricy and I think thats lame

cerulean sable
#

yes i understand that its intentional, the early game is meant to be slow

wanton charm
opaque sigil
#

20-30 annoyingly slow minutes

#

which is not fun

cerulean sable
#

theres nothing wrong with it being slower paced but its not gonna hurt the game to give a little bit more leeway early on

opaque sigil
#

ledge climb should do a lot to fix it

cerulean sable
#

again, i personally did not find any issues, but it definitely is a majority of players

#

yeah ledge climb is part of the solution

fiery burrow
remote shoal
#

I remember forgetting about HK for 3 months in my first playthrough

cerulean sable
#

by pacing i dont just mean "the game should give you everything at the start immediately" but rather its fucking bland

opaque sigil
#

the sprint could also help but assuming it comes with the dash it's only coming at the point where hk starts to pick up

cerulean sable
#

having barely any interactivity except for jump, pogo, and spell for first 30m on average is enough to dissuade people

#

first impressions after all

fiery burrow
#

Tools are quite useful in that regard

opaque sigil
#

probably more than that on first playthrough

cerulean sable
#

first playthrough for me was like 60 minutes yeah

#

and a lot of people drop the game until wall climb, which is 1.5 - 2.5 hours in general

opaque sigil
#

idk if tools are going to be something you get that early

silver oak
#

I think I spent like 90 minutes in crossroads, didn’t find greenpath, and dropped the game for 6 months

fiery burrow
#

I'd assume you get them around Bonebottom since they're in the deep docks

opaque sigil
cerulean sable
#

yeah, like theres really just not much to do until dash

runic atlas

How long is an avarage hollow knight playtrough without the 12%?

cerulean sable
#

i cant put it in words, my uhhh limited vocab isnt letting me

versed pollen
remote shoal
silver oak
#

true

cerulean sable
#

but like, even having something as simple as a ledge climb gives you this level of agency around the environment

fiery burrow
opaque sigil
#

ledge climb also means early game navigating isn't a pain in the ass if you're a few pixels off on a jump feelspkman

#

vengeful spirit is good for when it comes, shade soul is better but you also get it later zote

stark crescent
#

Im happy that hollow knight gets harder and not stays the same

fiery burrow
#

I want to burn enemies through walls immediately

opaque sigil
#

and like an upgrade making something more fun to use as well as more potent is the gold standard

sinful flare
#

casting spells is cool and all but have you ever got a quad hit on sly with shade soul

versed pollen
#

I haven't even seen a video of that happening before

#

Probably possible if you're insane and fire when he dash slashes

cerulean sable
#

it ticks this reward part of your brain with like "oh i get a cool boost if i time my ledge climbs and jumps correctly" and just performing a unique animation just makes you feel... cool? (and yeah not to mention its a good QOL for platforming)

its like when i play Insurgency, its faster to just crouch jump through a window, but instead i intentionally do a sprint + jump thing which makes your character perform a wall vault animation

or when i see door i can just go through that like a normal fucking person, but no, everyone will instead opt to charge/sprint and break through the door because, its just satisfying

sinful flare
#

i somehow had him travel in a very straight line

versed pollen
#

I suppose that would also work

stark crescent
cerulean sable
#

vs to what in HK? "oh wow you can optimize your hops and pogo and" yeah its not as satisfying

versed pollen
#

Missing a random jump by like 3px and then falling all the way down in a game with already slow platforming does feel pretty balls

cerulean sable
#

that too 🄓

#

but yeah ledge climb is just satisfying to engage with

remote shoal
#

is it auto

#

to ledge climb

cerulean sable
#

hopping from platform is bland compared to "oh im gonna intentionally try to chain my ledge boost because it makes me feel like im a badass"

hallow ravine
#

If silksong is a sequel how is she gonna refer to the past like what ending she would refer if she would to ?

cerulean sable
#

theyll simply make it vague

hallow ravine
cerulean sable
#

if the story of Silksong is going to be focusing on Pharloom then theres not much reason to explore what happened to Hallownest

#

whats important is more on Hornet's background with the weavers

fiery burrow
#

It can happen after all endings so they wouldn't reference a specific one

opaque sigil
hallow ravine
#

Yah but she wold say something that contradicts one of hollowknights ending eventually

opaque sigil
#

why

silver oak
#

I would hope they’ll try to make it so you don’t have to know anything about HK to fully understand the plot of silksong

runic atlas
#

whatever happened to hallownest should remain unknown tbh. let it be legend and live forever as such. maybe some npcs can talk about what happened to it and every one of them describes one of the different endings

fiery burrow
#

She references her tools from Hornet 2, stuff like that is probably what she's going to say

opaque sigil
cerulean sable
#

yeah thats the thing, SS is a good entry point for non HK players, thats what TC always said
having a clear ending or referencing what happened is against their MO on both that and making everyones journey in HK equally valid

#

so the goal is to, not just reference any of the possible endings

#

like at all

hallow ravine
# opaque sigil why

Idk it's a bit hard to make Hornet not say something that contradicts with hollowknight

opaque sigil
#

it's not

cerulean sable
#

like what

#

literally just dont make her say it to begin with

silver oak
#

The only HK stuff that’s relevant to silksong is the weavers

opaque sigil
#

the endings of hk don't really affect pharloom so there's no reason to think it would be at all difficult to just not bring them up

cerulean sable
#

something as simple as "i fought a vessel" isnt going to change much

fiery burrow
#

Whoopsies, TC accidentally put a "Man that interaction with The Hollow Knight was sick" without realizing it. That happens all the time

hallow ravine
# cerulean sable like what

Likei saying she didn't got chased in her dreams before or something like that wich she said to the knight that he is chasing her in her dreams don't ask me why she would say this thing that's just a example

cerulean sable
#

what

fiery burrow
#

Why would she mention that

hallow ravine
shell yacht
#

hornets godhome dialogue only vaguely mentions that shes aware shes dreaming

silver oak
#

The knight will not be in silksong if they’re smart

fiery burrow
opaque sigil
#

the point is that there's no reason for saying anything ending specific, you need to give a reason why she would have to say something about one or else the whole argument is moot

#

not just give hypothetical things she could say

cerulean sable
#

they simply dont

shell yacht
#

hornet could literally say "yeah one of my siblings returned but the region is still screwed up" and not be specific

#

there could be a ton of detail and not be specific

hallow ravine
#

Let's say that she is talking to one of the weavers and she said all the weavers are dead in hallownest that kind of things that I'm afraid the devs might fall into

opaque sigil
#

that is completely ending agnostic

shell yacht
#

the weavers fled hallownest thats not info they dont have

fallen blaze
#

Hop on showdown

silver oak
#

I’m confident TC are smart enough to not write themselves into a corner

cerulean sable
#

"Heir to a dead kingdom I am, and suffice to say... the situation there is quite complicated. But I have more problems at hand for now."

tada you avoid the problems by writing something like that that GGWP now dont explain the rest of it or risk cornering yourself by saying anything more unecessary

"I live in a shit shack called Deepnest"
"Im a motherfucking Weaver"
"Hallownest is dead and we killed her"
"Theres this knight swimming in shit called Ogrim and he still hasnt gotten over his hypothetical GF LMFAO"

these are all things that are already preestablished in Hollow Knight, it cant really contradict anything

cerulean sable
#

EVT is one of them small little problems

#

the point is they care a lot of the world, sure its not perfect, but they still care and i dont think theyre gonna intentionally do mistakes especially as long as they write Silksong to be as divorced from Hallownest as much as possible

#

which it should be

#

i aint entertaining this "Hornet uses the power of Silk to go back to Hallownest and refight the Knight who is now possesed by the Shadelord" nonsense

versed pollen

I feel like worring about something because: "Oh well there's a small probability that they make this mistake" is unproductive and ultimately baseless
