so the card should go to discard pile but it doesnt
I thought you were asking what happened if you played multiple echo forms
oh yeah i was i forgot
yeah just checked it does the first x cards
but also the upgrade seems to not work?
wdym
removing ethereal doesn't let you play the card multiple times, it just stops it exhausting if you don't play it
ohhhhhhhhhhhh
powers don't go to discard once you play them, they're a one time use
how do you tell what is a power and what is a skill
they're labeled at the bottom of the image
ok
thx
just got ghost pinged somewhere
esgooo got the perfect achievement
(beat boss without taking damage)
oh no, whatever will i do
wtf do you mean 51 dmg in 1 move
nooo dont let the bandits steal your gold!
sup everyone
YOOOO
Gwnj!!!!!!!!!!
Very good to see you
Oh what happened

GWNJ 
cookie 
oh hi gwnj
cheese :D

gwnj 
agent are you feeling any better
how we coping
We aren't
poorly

chat how do I ask for this cut?
God no
answer the question octocorn
how does one ask for this cut without showing the picture

do I go with ājust fuck my shit upā or sum else
Thats what I'm thinking
broom cut
I was thinking along the lines of ābowl cut and then a mohawkā
Death row
you think I can bribe someoneās barber to give em this cut
If that was done to me I think Iād pay extra for them to just slit my throat while theyāre at it
Do I break the Smoketack or do I healš¤
Break
Alright
anything other than british rap and post 9/11 country music
Thats a music genres?
Trucks guns and hating foreigners
strange music genre
I fw with litterally every other genre
jungle hyperpop jazz hip hop glam rock
Oh I thought you asked How do we get music recommendations
nah im tryna see if yall got any good music taste
I just play trending music so I'm out of this conversation
damn thats sad as hell
wdym you only listen to trending music
music is a part of the human soul
so you are lacking a part of your soul
art is the greatest form of expression and music is the simplest way to express oneself
ay what genre is this cuz I fw that guitar
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
sounds like indie rock
indie rock/indie pop
(Octopath travler2 spoilers) Wtf I broke your ||train tank|| so why do you still have immunities
Mfr is cheating
im barely awake and that looked like a massive bronze mantis ||stopping a train||
atal ka flashback
have you considered getting good?
jap jazz funk
hella bluesy
Been listening to more english/kpop jst so I can relate to people
I think Iām 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 thereās definitely a direction towards jazz conventions in my opinion
Wow I didn't know trans people were good at doing Livestock farming
Truly the best helpers of our economy
has anyone else got this thing on youtube mobile
where it always shows the icon that there are new videos in the subscription tab
its been a problem over the last few days
its part of the skill tree
Do you want me to recommend you music tho šš
seems like a skill issue on your end tbh
oh sonia i have now finished punpun, what problem did you with it 
ss tomorow?
yes
nice
Let me get on my pc for both those convos
more music
Also tell me like
Your limits idk, vocals are you good with screaming
And do you want instrumentals only music?
I will listen to litterally anything that isnt british āpeopleā rap and post 9/11 country music
No preferences at all?
yeah, fuck the british!
dp not fuck that british because then you make more british !
You can't stop me
holy moly bad mobile adverts got to sky children of the light as well
its truly the end times
this looks like breakcore
||made me eyeroll that they made the victim of grooming a "manipulative" girl trope right||
or jungle
ahh alright thats understandable
being written from the male perspective makes that choice seem reasonable, but i see why it can still be offputting
its tududududududududbrrbrbrbrbrbrbrbbnrbrbrbrrbbrtutntutntutntubrrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr
i mean yeah i was hoping the manga to drop hints yuichi is deforming stuff
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
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"
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
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
oh i like ultrakill's ost yeah
just that the ones that i got on spotify's recommendation is
Breakcore is nice
well honestly i didnt like any of them
its beautiful piano, drummer thats trying to break the drums, and someone being violently beat as the vocals
ok i think this is just a case of me receiving the wrong subgenre
But I like hardcore dubstep and like riddim and stuff so Iām down for a lot of stuff in terms of weirdness
https://youtu.be/VgrnEVnZ4xU?t=21 like this is one of the few breakcores that i liked
KENTENSHI - paranoia (Official Audio)
since paranoia will be down for a while :0
ima repost
sample :
siinamota - Young Girl A
SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/ken-tenshi-849546445/paranoia
Bandcamp: https://kentenshi.bandcamp.com
linktree: https://linktr.ee/kentenshii
ok this is way nicer than wtv any of the shit spotify recommended me what the fuck
i think it's probably just the wrong songs
this is just young girl A but pitched different
i assuemd so
hold on ttacco
https://open.spotify.com/track/3KBsdO1rkM9O0QASfvoA38?si=c1ff95ef2031465e this too is breakcore
https://open.spotify.com/track/5xM1Aa2i8CADAIQMSYekgH?si=-gzUMpUrTpSJu7ncAWu08g this is in the realm of breakcore
Got more going on but has that vibe
Also itās in 7/8 which is sick
https://open.spotify.com/track/3cFxBXjTOuUiOxnH0tpZe4?si=0022d28dc74b4ede like this is the only i liked from the album i got recommended to
from the preview it seems too busy sounding for me... but i respect the grind
music is music
https://open.spotify.com/track/4xflY6opfPKwsgIC32cDlP?si=8338535f19c54c61 like this one, is just an example of what i didnt like
NEW FALL OUT BOY SINGLE
yeah yeah i jest
Duran Duran 1.5?
but like, these recommendations that the original spotify playlist i got recommend to is like, a bit too "dry"
duran duran mentioned
no but seriously this is one of my favorite songs ever itās so good
The switchups are insane
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 š„“
yeah i liked ur recommendation
https://open.spotify.com/track/6i9Q0dueGsCyg1wSiByj6Z?si=f184ed11942042c1
https://open.spotify.com/track/50UUKavNn5mRyQ4iJxY5Mk?si=80f5206e8c25431a rory is a breakcore artist mostly idk what the other one is but those are other songs i think are cool and have similar vibes
Six impala mentioned
not sure what they're classified as but yeah
what the hell could this possibly be an acronym for
They kinda just make weird shit 
oh yeah not really the same btw
on some lemon demon and jack stauber shit or?
we fucking love you to death
Wow For Lasagna You Then Dance
but if you guys find something akin to this game's soundtrack in the "ethereal" sounding way then please send me some

Underscores is part of them, or was
i made my spotify recommendations based and now it's only like 10k listener artists and meme albums most of the time
according to the author this is apparently EDM/Jungle but i cant find anything that sounds similar in the atmospheric layer
https://open.spotify.com/track/6YatCHH5Y2qdcPGMe4OLIQ?si=c3816cae30e94c17 i got this from winter
I almost never use spotify recs
floaty style so maybe it fits
wiggle for laundering yucatan tick dollars
YES
THIS IS THE FUCKING STUFF IM TALKING ABOUT
@violet dune unleas ur recoms, i fucking need ittt
wiggle wiggle
yeah yeah i know this isnt breakcore
if yall could have a JoJoās stand irl what would it be
i wouldn't have one i stand well enough on my own
idk but it would SLAY
Oh I missed the comparison tracks above
and follow up would you rather be the only stand user in the world or make it so that every 1/10,000 people become stand users
Anyway look at my cat
based
John O'Clock
A stand that wakes me up at every morning š
be the only one what is this question
mimimimimimi
i guess id feel isolated but people would commit mass murder with this
hi everyone 
its looking at me harder than i am looking at it, i lost
I want general antics and chaos in the world so im going with the second option every day
I MAY have blindly got into hollow knight cause it was free on gamepass. Now I'm addicted. I didn't even know about silksong until a few days ago and now I'm mad 
slay
slay
https://open.spotify.com/track/5l4eNAXmYK9uLx5P2RMPq9?si=b20f1b1beca34c9b ttacco idk if this is up your alley but it's cool
I thought this was the rapper for a second 
it's spelled differently
(nice track though)
realistically this is what most people are gonna get
completly worthless stands or stands that have no benefit for that specific user
though im liking the guitars on Fia more
or hyper specific activation requirments
it's from igorrr and another french artist
ngl this is actually giving me Dwarf Fortress vibe
I'd love a stand that allow me to focus on multiple things at once but unironically
Because I have a big issue regarding that, I often can't do multiple things at once, I have to focus on a single
IGOR BY TYLER THE CREATOR?
nah
https://open.spotify.com/track/0O8k8aChBTHLOBaYyHmz8m?si=937f0d154c4f4f73

like, they sound different, but something about the "vibe" of it
me personally if I have to have a preexisting stand id take harvest, if not some stand that lets me change peoples hormones like ivankrovās fruit
i see it
I see
shigechi (my goat) was held back by morality
https://open.spotify.com/track/1Hvrq2dWErSamXOIaCiJ5Y?si=c0e41eddd242483c i still really like this track..
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
||if shigechi wasnt done so dirty part 4 would be 10 episodes shorter||
slay ill keep sending you weird shit i come across
corpomentente i mean š„“
yeah i know
diamond is unbreakable cant affect the user and it can only heal physical wounds pre mortem
Silksong today!
That's a shame
But like, theorically you could heal mental wounds right?
for other people
nah he is purely limited to physical wounds

cause he just repairs physical objects
Honestly I don't know anymore if there are like events that I just don't know about or if people are just trolling
like people or animals or buildings n shit
What is the french artist?
typically its just trolling
or shitposts
i think ive heard of them before
also for something completely different
https://open.spotify.com/track/26I8Se3pMUKf56A2NAL9va?si=71ea7b1c41c44eaf
Holy shut Crazy Diamond is a FMAB alchemist
not earfquake igor smh
I WISH THEY WERE
eh close enough
but nah Crazy Diamond is a less cool alchemist
also this one i guess https://open.spotify.com/track/7gOi88gP4o1uv1kaL02yBB?si=fef395033c92471d but thats it for me see ya (i fucking hate mondays and i have to work tomorrow fucks sake)
fast punch and also fix
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
because average alchemist is like... a random soldier
like highway starās user
Treue
if harvest was tied to a physically stronger user part 4 would have been over so quick
Ngl I'd be opressed if I see them in the streets even if they're cool looking
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
I forgot if they speak or make sounds
what the hell does this mean
having them in your house can be annoying if so
I mean stands only apear when you summon them
Many stands are threatening because it's impressive imo
except for like certain cases

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
you are just bad at explaining
little bit of both
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
non stand users cant see stands so
of course it's a fiction and the characters are brave enough to fight them, that's a whole other context
while regular civilians can still be affected by stands
they cant actually see them or interact with them
yeah but like imagine you get hit by an invisible force like that
by randomly walking somewhere
in any scenario that would suck
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
Because it depends on how people use them, if the user is an asshole, people are most likely doomed you know what I mean
like the grateful dead
It doesn't because most user won't use them for murder or anything
can you trust people IRL on that though
yeah true
When do yall think ss comes out?
yesteryear
We don't really have enough information to draw conclusions
Stand users attract each other
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
it came out ereyesterday
Thatās the BORING answer
We should make more wild speculations
True
End of 2024
@opaque sigil should Wyvern Lords be able to carry this fucking thing
I think it was a nice twist, seeing regular people having some stands for everyday stuff
yeah
silksong will release on june 17th, i decided
Can you make it later please
Thank you Reeves 
November 19th I think
it is too late
early 2025
yall sillies, only im right
Throws 3 dices and see the results
wait isn't it "die" for plural
I always found it weird
June 12th
yeah, die
Got a quote for you reeves
Npš
thanks bestie
Opposite
So 1 die and 2+ dice?
actually doesnt make too bad of a quote, considering how down bad i am for quotes, i might use it š
Yes
Iāll always remind you <3

I mean technically by now Dice is both singular and plural
ismalove will be the first to go in the purge
I refuse
a shame, but it us rarely ever used indeed š
Actually probably not but itās pretty low

Hornet should have a tool where squid happens
Sheās a spider sheās a uh, child?
squid game
Will hornet have the same abilitys as in the hollow knight game
isnt that the german word
Yes and more
Similar, but different
do ylal have like an excel sheet with emote uses to and you'll kill the bottom ones when you need to add new emotes? 
chat should I assemble a yu gi oh deck built entirely around gambling
Unused emotes have their charm because they're usused so you can be original
amazing, 3 different responses
Sheās faster and more mobile
she seems to not have the exact same abilities except wall climb
I don't know
The big thing is instead of charms she has tools, which are more active and varied
everything else looks to be different, to a varying degree
I interpreted it as the same abilities as her boss fight
i interpreted it as the Knight's abilities
@stark crescent what did you mean 
Wyvern lords should be able to do whatever the hell they want
Ledge grab will feel good to use
Did you mean same as the boss fight or same as the knight
Boss fight
It can't be much longer surely?...
She has all those things and more
I looove jumping out of ledge grabs, I want to get married to jumping out of ledge grabs
Grover said that already smh my head
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
I swear Iām forgetting an element other than tools and silk abilities
oh right crest layouts
Different attacks will be fun
Yeah hopefully it will allow for more varied playstyles
As long as they balance it well
Why do every time I see Etimo talking they share the most absolute based possible opinions ?
Iām perplexed
In BL2, pulling up from a ledge is so fast that it can be difficult to drop down from one
Will ss even ever release?
Yeah, I mean it's been 5 years+ so š¤·
yes
Of course that could be fixed by just not having platforms too close together
wow thank you 
patience is key
I need the key
Oh so itās hard to fall down cuz you get caught on ledges?
One game that use grapple is A Story About My Uncle, I need to try it so bad
You get caught on ledges and instantly pull yourself onto the platform before you can cancel the grab
I bet TC will stay silent even after the release of silksong
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
Theyāll probably be a handful of interviews and whatnot before they buckle in and work on their next project
then you shall wait
Idk, they just disappeared for 5 years with no official word from them, just affirmations from leth
When Silksong releases people will be immediately saying "So how long until post launch free dlc?"
5+ years
The chances that silksong will have dlc at all is low imo
Nah, im betting that they are gonna start a letās play channel and stream vlogs
Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, oh well hopefully this is the year lads
Prop isnt
The reasons HK had updates were certainly not great
Dlc will prolly be included at release as part of the game
2025
A big reason HK had so many content packs was because they didnāt think the game was finished
Dont think ss will have dlc
it's the abstract metal french guy
i don't like his music but i respect his style
I want your definition of disappearing
A trailer and the edge magazine (while both somewhat old) where released in those 5 years
FALSE
SS releases
Triple the size of HK
"Btw the game isn't really finished so we're gonna make a few free DLCs"
Also the demo and blogposts werenāt five years ago yet
What's the issue in Blasphemous 2?
š¤£, your right june 12th 2024 confirmed
How long will ss be?
It would be so awesome
Bec they are taking 5+ years
is someone crying about TC again
It will take 5 years to complete
shush
Business as usual yup
Iāve heard its a bit disappointing from some people
Prolly like 1.5x as long
Nah we just talking Silksong I think
if Ari smirk?
aight the suual then, im going back to sleep
Just 1.5x
They abandoned us
or Larkin smirk?
I bet they are laughing on their gilded thrones rn š
Idk I'm no playtester unfortunately
I hope atleast 2x
I wouldnāt mind a game thatās similar size to HK as long as itās of a quality TC is proud of
we should overthrow team cherry, no taxation without representation
And not just 2x bec if the 12%
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"
Of
Keep in mind HK is one of the nicest Metroidvanias ever
I mean I'd assume it to be larger tbh
Ok I meant biggest but nicest works too
Same but we will just have to wait and see
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
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"
After a thousand years they will come, clad in red and surrounded by fields of cherries, to restore the waitersā connection to the game that was hyped
whats that in cheeseburger units
i can't LIVE THAT long
i honestly hope it isnt, at a certain point youll eventually hit a burn out and a game can overstay its welcome
The detail in the environments is actually insane in the xbox trailer
801.5 cheeseburgers
you can only make so much unique stuff at a certain point
imo game should be 1.25x at max,
thats quite long
Ye ok but like my 1st playtrough became 2x as long bec kf the 12%
Ari's art is truly spectacular
It shall be so
given that HK is about 297 cheesburgers long yeah
Can't wait for Christopher Larkin's music as well
id rather have 30-40 hours of meaningful content vs to 100h where 80% of it mindlessly grinding
Moss grotto is so nice sounding
30-40 is already pushing it tbh
Why not both?
The 12%
HK took me like 70 hours the first time I think
because i am not putting overtly high expectation for a 3 man indie team
Because grinding is miserable as was the final percentages in HK
the quest board..
Tbh Silksong should be twice as large as Elden Ring including the DLC
Idk I personally enjoyed godhome even though markoth exists
Godhome was OK
i also loved godhome
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
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
and also i find 20-30 hours of high quality content thats REPLAYABLE to be better than 100h of grinding
hornet: gee thereās nothing for me to do! I wonder how Iām going to get enough rosaries to pay the toll!
Garmond and zaza escort quest:
I have a feeling they are scared that they can't surpass the quality of hk, hence why it's taking so long, I feel bad for them despite no communication
if the game is good enough ill replay it and thats enough to rack my hours
lmao
Did u do 12%?
š¤
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%?
wdym by 12%, just godhome stuff?
Ye
Silksoul will probably help with replayability
That was grinding
yeah i did, and why is this relevant again
Not really tbh
Yeah, it's not permadeath I wonder what it'll be
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
Same
but not exactly something id do again
Adrenaline + Rage meter
godhome just doesn't do the stuff that makes hk exceptional
Pantheon 5 isn't even needed for 112% and the rest wasn't really grindy at all
the completion of hk is fun
yeah agreed
Look I say I donāt like godhome but really itās not that bad, just in comparison to the rest of the game it doesnāt give me a whole lot to come back to
Im not gonna do the 12% in my second playtrough
you guys are just godhome haters sigh.......
nah but it's kinda its own seperate thing
And proud
Godhome would be so much better with toggleable bindings
Godhome best part of the game tbh
i did it in my second playthrough because seeing 98% was giving me an ick
But the godhome endings are my favorite
no
HK boss fights are better than everything else in the game if you ask me
Simo is crying
My condolences
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
I think itās the easiest part of the game to not like, even if you loved the rest
ehem Ubisoft games ehem
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
Agreed
did they even say that
they didnt
According to EDGE silksong will have a focus on combat
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
Which is why I'm hype, cuz godhome was fun
Which is really funny because the Xbox trailer showed off some really awesome platforming
Even if it doesn't, I'll mod it
The Leth comment all over again
that's kind of a weird paraphrase and idk if without the context it is all that accurate
Yall think we'll get a path of pain of sorts?
I loved the exploration of holloe know. Thats why mine second playtrough of the game after 5 years, still isnt the same
someone will mod it in
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
What can top WP and PoP tbh
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)
Idk, silksong cannot release near gta6, it would be overshadowed
i mean sure why not
celeste
if theyre gonna add a grind element then thats fine, just dont center the game around it, and make it optional if you can
Celeste is quite different and tbh it doesn't have the same atmosphere
Though I absolutely love it for its unique stuff
true
And gta6 is slated for sometime Q1 2025, so hopefully silksong before then
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
Chapter 5 and 9 have equally good atmospheres
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
Have they confirmed that?
yeah this
That'd be cool
Anyway I donāt think the GTA and Silksong core audiences are gonna have a huge overlap
if ss is structured like hk the playtime will probably be a pretty highly variable thing
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
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
True, but gta6 is very popular
im sure they'll do that but we don't need to make up stuff to disagree about idk
Yeah true
there's also nonlinearity as a factor for replayability
i mean yeah thats the thing, in a perfect world, you can have both quality content AND high quantities of it
its just that look at other AAA games, even they couldnt handle putting enough content without stuff feeling like padding or making the pacing suffer
what more is TC? with people expecting 100h at the minimum
im excited to buy silksong merch
tbh I'm gonna miss the extra 12% because that made routing quite fun for the achievements
just as much as i want to play thre game
there was definitely stuff I found for the first time in my second playthrough of HK
I love games that you slowly uncover through multiple playthroughs. Hyper Light Drifter did this quite well imo, took me like 11 playthroughs to find everything
my second playthrough only existed for getting the rest of the achievments like speedrun and steel heart
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"
One of my favs
Iāve heard omori does this well
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.
would be a bit weird if it didn't have upgrades, doubt pale ore will be back
I tried beating hornet sentinel with 5 masks and baby nail on steel soul, it didn't end well
Shining ore
also while its subjective, theres grounds discussion whether HK felt too long for its own good, but thats another entirely different discussion
eh HK is as long as you make it
I mean like people have pointed out categorizing games by amount of hours is faulty because of differences in skill and familiarity
i dont share the sentiment but HK has been criticized about it before
Its only like that if you 112% it imo
There'll be a plant that Hornet wraps around her needle to upgrade it Imo
Getting all grubs certainly is annoying
i mean i'd expect it to be the same size as hk if not a tiny bit more, 20-30 hours seems pessimistic
Hornet cosmetics or we riot
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
I don't think that's a hot take
if pushes to 30-40h then thats good, but around 60+ and the only time expecting that is from RPGs most of the time
Iām expecting to take like at least 50 hours on silksong, if itās comparable to HK
but again its nto really something we can quantify right now
Iām just not that good at games lmao
what's TGT
Her needle could have pure nail texture for 1000000 rosaries
all in all
Silksong having around the same length of HK but at a higher quality >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> expecting 100h at the minimum
Black and white weaver cloak

Grimm Troupe
thanks
The krill issuer....
tails gets trolled
not saying its a hottake, but its just an example of HK of what i mean hours of gameplay is not necessarily good gameplay
honestly that does not sound like a good fit
I mean 
anyway i think SS improving pacing is already gonna fix like, 50% of the first game's problems/criticisms
messy non-normalized movement
it is unironically THE biggest thing thats complained about the game
You mean in the beginning?
Imo better complex enemy design is also a huge deal
both the start and just the movement
We are getting that in silksong so hooray
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
i would agree to some extent BUT
ive seen enough people drop the game saying they had to force themselves until wall climb
Yap yap yap, i just wanna play silksong
The map equipment is kinda pricy and I think thats lame
yes i understand that its intentional, the early game is meant to be slow
But it takes like 20-30 mins on subsequent playthroughs? For mothwing cloak
theres nothing wrong with it being slower paced but its not gonna hurt the game to give a little bit more leeway early on
ledge climb should do a lot to fix it
True
again, i personally did not find any issues, but it definitely is a majority of players
yeah ledge climb is part of the solution
You can not engage in discussion if you don't want to
I remember forgetting about HK for 3 months in my first playthrough
by pacing i dont just mean "the game should give you everything at the start immediately" but rather its fucking bland
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
having barely any interactivity except for jump, pogo, and spell for first 30m on average is enough to dissuade people
first impressions after all
Tools are quite useful in that regard
probably more than that on first playthrough
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
idk if tools are going to be something you get that early
I think I spent like 90 minutes in crossroads, didnāt find greenpath, and dropped the game for 6 months
I'd assume you get them around Bonebottom since they're in the deep docks
well I suspect you get the first one from the grindle spot
yeah, like theres really just not much to do until dash
i saw this without context and thought you beat the game in 60 mins the first tiem you played it
How long is an avarage hollow knight playtrough without the 12%?
you jump, you pogo, you cast spells, and thats about it
Thats a fair guess
or at least the first red one
I also stopped the 1st time bec i had no idea where i was supposed to go
hes just like me fr
i cant put it in words, my uhhh limited vocab isnt letting me
Yea but casting spells is epic
if you figure out the pogo*

true
but like, even having something as simple as a ledge climb gives you this level of agency around the environment
Vengeful spirit is kinda bland imo. Shade Soul is a lot better
ledge climb also means early game navigating isn't a pain in the ass if you're a few pixels off on a jump 
vengeful spirit is good for when it comes, shade soul is better but you also get it later 
Im happy that hollow knight gets harder and not stays the same
I want to burn enemies through walls immediately
and like an upgrade making something more fun to use as well as more potent is the gold standard
casting spells is cool and all but have you ever got a quad hit on sly with shade soul
I haven't even seen a video of that happening before
Probably possible if you're insane and fire when he dash slashes
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
nah i meant phase 2
i somehow had him travel in a very straight line
I suppose that would also work
vs to what in HK? "oh wow you can optimize your hops and pogo and" yeah its not as satisfying
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
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"
If silksong is a sequel how is she gonna refer to the past like what ending she would refer if she would to ?
theyll simply make it vague
Yah obviously
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
It can happen after all endings so they wouldn't reference a specific one
this makes a very strange assumption that she will refer to anything like that
Yah but she wold say something that contradicts one of hollowknights ending eventually
why
I would hope theyāll try to make it so you donāt have to know anything about HK to fully understand the plot of silksong
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
She references her tools from Hornet 2, stuff like that is probably what she's going to say
that's what's in line with their explicit intent
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
Idk it's a bit hard to make Hornet not say something that contradicts with hollowknight
it's not
The only HK stuff thatās relevant to silksong is the weavers
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
something as simple as "i fought a vessel" isnt going to change much
Whoopsies, TC accidentally put a "Man that interaction with The Hollow Knight was sick" without realizing it. That happens all the time
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
what
Why would she mention that
Please read the whole message
hornets godhome dialogue only vaguely mentions that shes aware shes dreaming
The knight will not be in silksong if theyāre smart
I mean it applies to anything she says about an ending
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
yeah, like, TC would to need to get in their way into a situation like that to even necessitate the need to mention that piece of dialogue
they simply dont
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
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
that is completely ending agnostic
the weavers fled hallownest thats not info they dont have
Hop on showdown
Iām confident TC are smart enough to not write themselves into a corner
"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
hello
hai
Yah I'm trying to explain what kind of stuff hornet may contradicts hollowknight lore but yall been talking like I'm saying she would say these things
what kind of stuff hornet may contradicts hollowknight lore
Which isnt going to be a lot
she could say "1+1=3" but idk why that's worth considering
My God
this is what you were saying, this is not something that would be hard
ngl i dont see your point bc youre just hypothesizing nonexistant events
this is also not true
Character trait: The weavers are terrible at math
Thats why their SoB doesn't work, they made some inaccurate calculations
there's no reason to assume tc will have any problem not contradicting HK
Who knows William could make a mistake
ok so you're not even saying it's hard
I'm just saying I don't want this to happen
"Im a heir of a land called Hallownest"
"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
these are the guys who refused to put benches on certain spots because "it will ruin the believability of the world"
A bit hard not hard yk they have to rethink evrey dialog to not have any issues with the lore
dont underestimate them, you can put a lot more faith into them
not that hard, ss is very disconnected
music?
and thats another thing\
Which spots?
Buddy tf are you saying
Hope so
they specifically said during an AMA why there arent benches close to bosses, and their reasons was because they wanted to make sure each bench has context in the world
That makes sense
again its not perfect BUT theyve putten a lot of details like these especially when conneting areas as well
One neat little thing about the bench in Deepnest in the hotsprings is that it was seemingly used by the tram construction workers!
not that they don't take some liberties every now and then (hive bench moment)
the point im trying to make is, youre saying your worried that William or Ari is going to make a mistake when theyre the type of people that cares enough about the world that they wanted to avoid "gameifying" stuff as much as possible
maybe this is goty
id recommend hkmori they're currently my favorite artist ig
thansk
I have no issues if there is too much benches little amount of benches either way
TC cares about the lore! Why do you think Embrace the Void turned out so great?
something something hundred benches or whatever
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
I feel like worring about something because: "Oh well there's a small probability that they make this mistake" is unproductive and ultimately baseless
You may as well worry that Silksong will be a bad game because they might make that mistake
yeah like
Yapmaster s
no way, star redemption arc?
Silksong mistakes will be good points for me I'm gladly gonna take whatever tc gonna give me
gim your arguements just sound like youre assuming theres already errors and issues and thats not a conversation thats just you making assumptions and not listening
Like I've been waiting so much why would I be mad if they added a bench or two
what
There is no perfect game Silksong will have flaws wich I'm completely OK with and I'll never gonna say a word about it
zero contradictions
chat I try the apex legends tommorow 

arguement is over we can all go back to bed now
why would you play that trash when titanfall exists
Why play games at all
My brain isn't braining but i agree
Why?
Y?
Cant answer a question with a question
Its always sad when Silksong discussion ends š
ok back to celeste
ugh
just make up a new topic 
i feel terrible
I HATE THE CORE
tammo fix this
Celeste 2 when
L noob
Taking away or altering the main mechanic of the game feels awful and its boring!
LMFAO
missiles are launched
I haven't played for a while 
thanks tammo this is why youre the best
People be mad bc you said otherwise that's why i don't discuss the million things about this game here
Celeste battle pass
Core mechanics are more interesting in modded maps because it's used as a puzzle mechanic as opposed to just something that exists
Zero strawberries hurts though...
have you tried adding water
Collect more strawberries
the strawbs were the water
What kind of celeste yall played tf is this š
paid 
bro has never made a pie before
it regularly goes on sale for 6$
I'd assume it's the one when ending the game
what else would i be talking about
Idk some mods or smth
(A Gift from the Stars from SJ is basically this message)
Pies are mid
cakes are too
Celeste made pies popular smh
I've only had pie like twice in my life and didn't like both times. But maybe I've only eaten bad pies
the best are combos of cakes and pies. namely, cheesecakes
Red velvet cakes are good
ok first of all girlpower, put em up
red velvet is trash
Never speak again
Cheesecake is terrible cmon now
if youve only had 2 you havent even tried each type so yeah bad pies
Dudes think they from celeste
what kinds of pie
I am from Celested
EA DRM 
He did climb a mountainš¤
I don't remember I think one might have been apple pie
fruity kind, chocolatey, meat, veggie, pot pie
Chicken pot pie is the only good pie
Both were fruity pies though
oh and uhhh
I don't understand the core
chicken pot pie goes hard
Whats the story relevance you just... go in and get a heart
Key Lime pie goes hard
Yea
pumpkin pie is a waste of pie crust
Anything pumpkin is ass
Take it back.
You go back to deal with Core mechanics (hell) and then you get 1 (one) heart
The store bought stuff is trash thatās for sure
best pie is cherry pie or peach pie
This mfer makes evrything homemade I swear
Yea but like ch 9 had actual story
Raspberry and apple are right there
I learned something from it
No you didn't
cherry n peaches both mid, blueberry or blackberry >
Ok
Thanks
You know what yall can say whatever, as long as you keep sweet potato pie out of it. If I hear a cross word about sweet potato pie, we will cross swords.
I think itās a problem with my family.
Some kind of generational trauma
apple sucks, but never had raspberry
Sweet potato pie just sounds like shit
Draw your blade, swine.
mud pie is probably worse
hollow knight if vessels were pigs
Tf is mud pie
mud.
That sounds like literal shit
mfw mud is mud
Bro found out about mud today
there's a type of chocolate pie like thing called mud pies
yes but before mud pie (food) there was mud pie (mud)
Yeah I thought it was just chocolate or smth
There's an artist called big mud as well
no they put gummy worms in it i think
But I'd be dumb if I expected him to not be an actual wall of mud
isnt that that one Brusters ice cream
no i was thinking of the lunchables thing
o
my grandpa used to hog that to himself so i never tried it 
try it now
ermmmmm W pro* ?????
Silence you
Sweet potato pie is like a raisin oatmeal cookie
No...let them speak
I haven't opened Celeste in a while should I play it again
oh my god, i feel validated
Itās not bad, but you thought it was the other thing you liked
Sweet potato pie > pumpkin pie
OAtmeal raisin is good
See you already know what I meant
do people actually somehow accidentally eat oatmeal raisin cookies
Ye
I think itās more obvious when itās oatmeal
how
well. i think anime sucks, and also celeste is a really great game, as well as hollow knight.
also i have a strong feeling silksong is releasing this year
and dont you ever compare sweet potato pie to oatmeal raisin. oatmeal raisin is an affront to god. oatmeal cookies are fine tho ill eat those up
just like i have strong feelings for y'all's mothers
Well I guess now I have to
oatmeal raisin is the best cookie
Have you tried Sweet potatoes fries...
Delicious
You wish
NOO YOURE SHITTING ME AAAA
chocolate overrated
i just hate raisins with a fiery passion that eclipses the heat of the sun
@uneven orchid IT BROKE OFF
It's only if it's in like a package with other cookies
Lol rip
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THAT'S ACTUALLY PAINFUL
STOP!
they're good but very different
frick you
š¤
Raisins are good
nah sweet potato fries are eh. sweet potatoes top tier tho
Wild
@haughty ingot on the plus side itās a free To-Scale nail.
i love making those when i do homade fried chicken, powdered sugar on top... fuck you now im hungry
it's funny tho bc i hate raisins and dates but craisins (cranberry raisins) i can eat by the handful
powdered sugar???
Sweet potato is superior potato.
yeah on the sweet potato
Powdered....
Literally in the name
Nah, Powdered sugar is too messy.
powdered sugar yeah, sweet hot sweet n crunchy
Do you put powdered sugar on your chicken? Did I read this right
i would never waste sweet potato by dipping it in sonething
Alright I respect it it's just surprising to me
oh no lmao
