[deep laurel]

yes, yes the summer thing

[flat remnant]

[wheat sail]

I mean they only said it during the stream loading page its not like they advertised it or liked silksong tweets beforehand

[formal karma]

as kids- not having massive powerful pocket computers

[fallen blaze]

Yeah I dont miss it tho

[formal karma]

yea- people could just lie

and now you can fact check in real time

[near adder]

Hey, Silksong will come out before crowsworn, right?

[fallen blaze]

Idk

[remote ibex]

Marketing guy for both games said silksong would definitely come out first

No confirmation beyond that

[formal karma]

pretty sure leth said it would

[flat remnant]

leth is the marketing guy

[remote ibex]

Isnt he the marketing guy what is he

Marketing and publishing yeah

[barren sequoia]

Dont know about publishing but yeah he handles all marketing with the trailers and shit

[remote ibex]

Its in his Twitter bio

[formal karma]

i mean crowsworn is a long way off so it's not much of a distinction

[barren sequoia]

Oh huh thats cool

[barren sequoia]

Yeah crowsworn got massive with the kickstarter didnt it?

[formal karma]

yea their original decemer (2024????) prediction is likely going to take longer with all the stuff added

but then- i don't know much about it, really

but what i do know is attaching leth's name to the kickstarter persuaded me out of 50 bucks

[barren sequoia]

Yeah they got over 10 times what they needed to just make the game

[velvet ruin]

The original release date was december 2023 lol

[fallen blaze]

[formal karma]

well there ya go

[stiff burrow]

And now it's "2025 or later"

[formal karma]

makes sense

[rancid vector]

Crowsworn will be awesome

Ill be patiently waiting 🙂

Its important to remember that any form of work in life can become monotonous and tedious depending on what comes up in life outside of work

Taking longer can keep the passion running healthy and strong. The cuphead dlc imo was a great example of patient creativity that really paid off

That dlc came out immaculately

[fallen blaze]

I didn't even know they were making a dlc

[rancid vector]

Yeah i honestly believe that the best thing devs can do after coming off of a great and successful release is say absolutely nothing about what they are working on until its fruition is nearly complete

It eliminates all pressure

That practice would particularly benefit creatives that like to pace out the work for the reasoning above. I wouldnt be surprised if thats how folks like tc and crowsworn and the cupbead devs like to work.

[hexed vapor]

I agree

I'm also sure once Silksong releases it wil probably last way longer than hollow knight is lasting (it still is)

[rancid vector]

Unfortunately, silksong was initially planned as a dlc and just kept getting bigger and bigger. The cat was let out of the bag before it got so big tho

[sly scaffold]

If silksong is as big as I remember being told it will be, I'll take like, a month and a half to even beat the game for the first time

[hexed vapor]

i think completing hk took me around 60 hours

so like times that by 3

[formal karma]

i think telling us even 5 years ago is still fine

[hexed vapor]

nah I agree with Rilk, i don't think it should've been announced as early as it did

ofc that isnt team cherry's fault cuz they didn't think the game would get as big as it is now at the time

[opaque sigil]

a game taking five years is normal, a dlc taking that long isn't

tc didn't announce the project at that point, they announced that the project had expanded into a full game

[hexed vapor]

i dont even think it should've been in the direct in 2019

i think it could've waited til like 2021

[glacial wren]

yeah they shouldn't have even ran the kickstarter how many people had zote spoiled for them because of how reckless they are

[hexed vapor]

Huh?

I'm just talking about showing off silksong lol

[wheat sail]

I think team cherry should cease

[fiery burrow]

Seemingly it didn't matter at all when it was announced marketing wise

[stiff burrow]

They needed to announce it cause people were expecting Hornet DLC and staying quiet on that for 2 years would've been real weird

[hexed vapor]

that is true

[stiff burrow]

It also wasn't in a Direct but everyone seems to think it was

[hexed vapor]

Just seemed like all the odds were against TC tbh lol

[hexed vapor]

oh mb

it was just a blog post right

[stiff burrow]

Yup. 1 day after a direct to be exact

[olive bobcat]

TC rolls earliest trailer, asked to leave Direct

[hexed vapor]

😭

[stiff burrow]

They had a whole treehouse but never appeared in a direct for more than 2 seconds

[hexed vapor]

I think the treehouse was the real killer cuz it made people think the game was more far along than it probably was

looking back the treehouse areas look more like dev testing areas LOL

[fiery burrow]

There are lots of bugs

[stiff burrow]

Yup, imo that's the thing that was a real weird decision
Full treehouse and a demo isn't a thing you do with a game that is 5 years away

[fiery burrow]

tbf those areas were fairly early on in the game

[formal karma]

to be fair, its unreasonable to think that a curated demo experience means the game is finished

[opaque sigil]

if they have a chance to do a treehouse and can do it idk how they turn it down in good conscience

[formal karma]

like.... entirely unreasonable imo

[stiff burrow]

But also what game does more marketing when it's 5 years away than the following 4 years combined

[opaque sigil]

the demo was also visibly incomplete

[formal karma]

"i can't believe the devs gave us 6% of the game- it looks done!"

[cunning geode]

they dont necessarily know its 5 years away

[opaque sigil]

one where that initial marketing was clearly plenty

[hexed vapor]

the 2022 trailer is complete eye candy

[cunning geode]

or maybe they do know... 👹

[hexed vapor]

i love it sm

[stiff burrow]

I still think it's extremely bizarre. Why not do all that marketing 4 years later

[hexed vapor]

Hype I guess

[stiff burrow]

Hype is a reason to wait

[opaque sigil]

odds are tc didn't know when it was going to be done and maybe they just wanted to strike while the iron was hot, it's not like it wasn't immensely effective

[cunning geode]

so lets say the game is coming out in like a month, does anyone here actually know what TC is gonna do marketing wise between now and then? no.

[barren sequoia]

I always thought the deep docks treehouse area looked really weird

Like it just was layed out weird

[formal karma]

probably just demo things

[opaque sigil]

I mean it's a portion of the demo but yes some of the stuff being where it was was strange, I wouldn't assume things will all be in the same spots in the final game

[barren sequoia]

Like the mask shard just floating

[opaque sigil]

especially the mask shards, there were two there right?

[stiff burrow]

Yeah those obviously weren't in their final locations

[sly scaffold]

silsong whens kilksong skongsil

[barren sequoia]

I know one was right after an enemy room

[stiff burrow]

Anyway I personally think making a demo for a game years before it releases is weird, period. Regardless how obviously unfinished or effective marketing it is.

[hexed vapor]

yea the mask shards were like not even out of the way of the main level design at all

I agree

[fiery burrow]

Didn't HK get a demo too

[stiff burrow]

Yeah for backers I think

[barren sequoia]

Kickstarter demo is different I think

[formal karma]

i dunno- i think people are just upset that they decided certain things about the game and it didn't come to pass

[barren sequoia]

People obviously want results if they're paying for a product still being made

[formal karma]

90% of this community's frustrations are self inflicted

[fiery burrow]

OK Aunt Wu

[stiff burrow]

If 99 games do marketing a certain way people are allowed to assume the 100th will be similar

[fiery burrow]

Well yeah

Silksong was also a stretch goal even if they probably aren't using the kickstarter funds anymore

[formal karma]

its still similar as far as I have ever been concerned

[fiery burrow]

Silksong's marketing is the same is the majority of ways

[barren sequoia]

I think all of the funds were used for hk iirc

[fiery burrow]

Plus some

[stiff burrow]

They released hk cause they ran out of funds so yea

[formal karma]

the times are, MAYBE a little stretched by but then you remember that its 3 people hard at work making a masterpiece instead of farting out a brown shooter

CONTEXT is key when thinking about anything silksong related and the complainers don't have an ounce of nuance

[fiery burrow]

Silksong's marketing is typically compared to games who actually needed to establish themselves to consumers

[stiff burrow]

I think you're being too hyper rational for the average person
Yes technically you're right but expecting everyone to have zero emotion is not how people work

[barren sequoia]

Yeah a lot of sequels do go completely cold turkey

Or hell even games made by famous publishers

Cyberpunk had nothing for like 8 years

[formal karma]

im being exactly as rational as anyone who actually thinks about anything they do, ig

[fiery burrow]

"hyper rational"

Way to prove their point

[stiff burrow]

I'm saying the average person does not think everything through rationally

[barren sequoia]

I'm honestly completely fine wuth how silksong has handled its marketing but I do really want a development journal or video of it after release

[formal karma]

bringing up emotions is exactly what i mean anyways- people work THEMSELVES into a frenzy based on actual nothing

[fiery burrow]

Average person doesn't sit around pondering SS's marketing

[barren sequoia]

Would be awesome to actually see how silksong progressed over the years yknow

[opaque sigil]

I mean we have gotten a handful of snapshots and I don't think showing too much more would be productive

[stiff burrow]

And if you expect people to do that you're gonna think everyone is an idiot

[formal karma]

it's not some oddity with how TC is doing things- people just assume things, and then get mad when they're dead wrong

[barren sequoia]

I mean like after the game is completely out

[opaque sigil]

then yeah

[barren sequoia]

Just would be cool to see the inerworkings

[fiery burrow]

So SS's marketing is perfectly fine and normal TC just didnt account for people who are irrational?

Thats... not an issue

[stiff burrow]

Didn't account for the average person

[fiery burrow]

The average person isn't an irrational man thinking about how good TC's marketing was

[stiff burrow]

I'm not even blaming TC for anything

[silk zodiac]

what is chat yapping on about today

[formal karma]

how having a playable demo that played brokenly was too early

[stiff burrow]

I think that you are too hard on the people who are complaining.

[silk zodiac]

i see

[stiff burrow]

That's what I actually think, really

[fiery burrow]

Perhaps I should've rephrased to "people who are being irrational"

People complaining aren't total idiots they are just excited and don't know what to do with that

[stiff burrow]

Outside of some extreme examples, I think the frustrations people are voicing are totally fine even if they are not entirely rational.

[wheat sail]

Put on the roman armour, we are marching to Australia

[stiff burrow]

Yeah like that

[fiery burrow]

Sure but there's no reason to treat those frustrations with any level of respect

[formal karma]

The avenues are entirely irrational though- "they announced it too early" "the demo looked playable" and "i don't want another cyberpunk" are just meme soundbites that don't make any sense in the context of real life

[hexed vapor]

TC did nothing wrong at all it was just the circumstances that forced their hand to do early marketing, IE the Kick starter and (maybe) Treehouse

[formal karma]

they have absolutely no bearing on the current situation

and there's NO EFFORT for complainers to actually try to understand anything that I've seen

[hexed vapor]

yeah

[formal karma]

maybe they DID announce it early- but TC didn't know when it was releasing...

[hexed vapor]

alot of people complain that there's "Radio silence" but honestly for a game that is not out yet at all, we have a shit ton of infromation

more than we could ask for

so i just dont understand how people could complain

[fiery burrow]

Everythings better with hindsight

[stiff burrow]

Radio silence would be fine if it started right after the game was announced and not after almost a year of regular updates.
People being frustrated cause "they did too much marketing early on and then went silent" makes sense to me.

[formal karma]

and having inured yourself to the situation over the last FIVE YEARS- you think one can make peace with that

[fiery burrow]

Maybe at first glance until you understand that the goal of marketing is to draw new people in

[formal karma]

the current state of affairs has been ongoing for quite some time

[wooden schooner]

at one point the cormorant must surface from its hunt

[fiery burrow]

Its a waste of time to give us regular updates (which would also ruin the surprises of the game) because if someone is making an effort to keep up with updates for this long they are probably already buying

[wooden schooner]

it cannot stay underwater for so long

[formal karma]

that's... true

[shell yacht]

Also lantinx is the tip of the iceberg of the whole attitude of English changing the Spanish language which people get really passionate about

[wheat sail]

My buenos

[flat remnant]

[shell yacht]

fair, our language is fucked enough, it shouldnt spread

[flat remnant]

did that show even release

[opaque sigil]

every language is being heavily influenced by english at all times, that's not necessarily something to be upset about it's just a fact of the way the global communications structures are

[high hedge]

I dunno teasers usually show a while before release

[olive bobcat]

As a white person it is my moral obligation to colonize everything and I expect you to respect that culture 🙄

The same way I will fail to respect yours

[flat remnant]

powder would it be wrong to call someone gringo in a light-hearted jokey way or is that too much

[wheat sail]

As an asian person i must apologize for all the asian people who were not good in the past

[shell yacht]

nah lets activate the grand unification of language but make the language the beatboxing noises from the post office scene of MiB2

[fiery burrow]

We should communicate with bird songs

[high hedge]

I mean sure but that’s not the best advice for someone who’s a bit prideful about the language

[shell yacht]

but the first 3 are still good in both

[high hedge]

they certainly have good scenes

[wheat sail]

I dont care if they get angry ots the truth!

[high hedge]

but I attribute that to good foundation

[opaque sigil]

it's also not really a spanish word nor used as one by english speakers

[flat remnant]

hey luffy let's fuck 'im up

[opaque sigil]

loanwords from a language stop being lexical items in that language

[shell yacht]

constantly rejecting michael jackson as an agent was the most based scene

[high hedge]

its like how half the xmen movies suck but they all have good scenes buried in them

[wheat sail]

Michael jackson is sus

Smooth criminal is a good song tho

[flat remnant]

it was released in pandemic era and bombed if it's any indication

[wheat sail]

Wtf saving this

[shell yacht]

ah never saw it

[high hedge]

no one did

the fox xmen were really hit or miss

but they made the best superhero movie

[hollow terrace]

yeah but thats when you narrow it down to the single word, like the controversy is silly but again in the topic im saying, the broader context is why folks are weird with it

[wheat sail]

Well i dont really watch movies ill just stream some older ones

I liked the live action one as a kid where there was a fancy garfield

[high hedge]

Bill Murray Garfield

[wheat sail]

No way

Thats Murray?

[high hedge]

yeah

he was tricked into starring in it

[flat remnant]

these ss-disc people can't recognize kino when they see it 😔

[flat remnant]

allegedly

[high hedge]

I believe him

why would he be in Garfield

[flat remnant]

maybe he feels a kinship with the character

[barren sequoia]

Wonder what skins people are going to make for hornet when silksong drops

[flat remnant]

sans undertale

[shell yacht]

spiderverse only stuff

[ripe cliff]

clown nose and hair is quintessential

[shell yacht]

thats gonna be ingame already

[opaque sigil]

Jester Crest

[barren sequoia]

Would be insanely funny if there is a clown wig in game

Hornet having actual customization would be cool

With her cloak being an aactual item in game it might be possible

[uncut citrus]

this is why they are late

it's because they planned the last few months to add cosmetics but then they kept adding more and now there is 257 cosmetics and different colours of them 😌

[thorny stone]

hey i check like once a year, is silksong out yet

[fiery burrow]

You'd get a ping in #hk-announcements

[thorny stone]

fuck

[formal karma]

Did you look

[barren sequoia]

Thry just shouldn't ping anyone

Completely cover up silksongs release

[formal karma]

Honestly I wish they'd ping for more stuff

I miss people getting needlessly upset at fangamer merch drops

[full rune]

how did you even buy lethal company being that unaware lol

[ivory mesa]

Hey guys im stuck at lace sentinel 2 any tips on how to beat it

[full rune]

you can parry the i-am-the-storm-that-is-approaching attack

[ivory mesa]

Oh wow thanks

[fiery burrow]

iirc you hop on a better game (EG, Hyper Light Drifter)

[chrome basalt]

HLD is actually goated

[fiery burrow]

Its even on 60% sale

[chrome basalt]

Hyper Light Breaker is coming out too, but honestly I preferred to the 2D pixel art

[ivory mesa]

It took my eyes a second to load your profile picture it was literally just green and yellow up until that happened

[fiery burrow]

I prefer HLD more but I don't mind the aesthetic being brought to 3d

[chrome basalt]

If it allows them to be more creative gameplay wise then they should do whatever they want

But yeah 3D Unity art just can’t beat the first game’s visuals

[serene bluff]

is that a slime rancher pfp

[fiery burrow]

They made some art for the upcoming Earth Day

[chrome basalt]

I think this is the second time in just a few weeks that I yap about HLD in this channel

[ivory mesa]

wha

[serene bluff]

that’s so cute omds

[fiery burrow]

I'll never miss up an opportunity to recommend HLD

[serene bluff]

what is hld

[chrome basalt]

Hyper Light Drifter

Indie game, beautiful in every way

[dark wagon]

HOLY SHIT ITS WALL E

[serene bluff]

it’s on game pass should i give it a shot

[chrome basalt]

Honestly up there with Hollow Knight in terms of just how good it is

[chrome basalt]

Fs check it out

[serene bluff]

i’ll install it

[dark wagon]

everyone here knows about wall e right

[chrome basalt]

Wordless storytelling is a weakness of mine in visual media

[serene bluff]

obv

[chrome basalt]

People talk too much in movies nowadays

[chrome basalt]

Childhood classic right there

[fiery burrow]

This also mean it hardly interrupts the player

Which is nice. I like just existing in the world

[chrome basalt]

Exactly

[serene bluff]

the screenshots look beautiful but i have a feeling it’s hard

[chrome basalt]

It’s not easy lol

I wouldn’t say it’s as hard as Hollow Knight tho

[fiery burrow]

Its got some difficulty but the respawn system is very lenient

[chrome basalt]

Yeah that’s the big thing

[fiery burrow]

As in you respawn in the room you died in

[chrome basalt]

No bullshit backtracking after you die like in HK

[serene bluff]

ah niceee

[chrome basalt]

I like the corpse run mechanic in theory but damn in practice is it horrible 9/10 times

[fiery burrow]

||The Bow Boss ||

HK did it fine for the most part imo

The Soul Sanctum was kinda egregious but I didn't have many issues with it for the other bosses

[serene bluff]

on my first play through it just felt tedious cus i was shit

[chrome basalt]

If you play FROM Software games HK is a cakewalk but holy crap, playing HK for the first time back in 2017, I hated the death system

[charred basalt]

is this a channel discussion for a game that doesnt exist? wtf

[fiery burrow]

||dude is a NIGHTMARE on NG+ too||

[chrome basalt]

It exists, I played it today

[charred basalt]

if something exists from this game its a 3minutes demo from 8 years ago

even black myth wu kong is launchin

kkkkkkkkkkk

[chrome basalt]

I remember when there was a legitimate discussion about what would release first: Elden Ring, Tears of the Kingdom, and Silksong.

2020 type shit

[charred basalt]

silksong doesnt exist guys, max a video demo to fool you all

since 2017

[chrome basalt]

TC is just taking this long before they’re adding online to Silksong

Trust

[charred basalt]

they are not making this shitty game, get over it and go play something else, dont expect nothing from tc

[formal karma]

Obvious troll is obvious

[serene bluff]

true

[fiery burrow]

like Outer Wilds

[formal karma]

Like... damn people they're not serious

[charred basalt]

even a guy with only 2 fingers on his hand could finish this game on 7 years, what a joke this is a metroidvania, not gt6

[ripe cliff]

double negative

[charred basalt]

gta6

you guys know that matrix game made on unreal engine?

[chrome basalt]

I’m saying, there’s gonna be team death match in Silksong, trust

[charred basalt]

its silksong

it was jsut a demo just like the matrix game

accept the truth

[serene bluff]

should i do newcomer or is it too easy

[serene bluff]

to hld

idk, i never booted it up lol

[chrome basalt]

It’s dope as hell

[vivid belfry]

you're never gonna find out

[serene bluff]

big ass mechs and then dog

[chrome basalt]

HLD opening cutscene > HK opening cutscene

[fiery burrow]

its peak

[shell yacht]

me with like 30 games on this ps4, played: 5

[carmine island]

[vivid belfry]

here's the games I've played this year

[chrome basalt]

Basically the story is ripping off nausicaa of the valley of the wind

[fiery burrow]

a difficult game about climbing

[vivid belfry]

it's pretty fun

kind of finger straining though

[fiery burrow]

Is that its name

[vivid belfry]

appropriately

yes

it's a rage game in the same vein as getting over it

[chrome basalt]

Strand type game

[opaque sigil]

wait really now I have to play hld

[chrome basalt]

Yeah bro, corrupted forest, apocalypse from giant evil mechs, uuuhhhh, that’s about it

[opaque sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/nausicaä-thumbs-up-valley-of-the-wind-approve-like-gif-11282524

[chrome basalt]

The story is looser than HK’s, on account of there not being any fucking words in it

[fiery burrow]

There are

They are just ciphered and completely optional

[opaque sigil]

well maybe I'll start it this weekend when I have a chance to

[chrome basalt]

The only difference is that Nausicaa is a Disney princess and the HLD main character is a hobo with heart disease

Which btw, Tammo have you read the Nausicaä manga?

[opaque sigil]

no but I do want to

[chrome basalt]

Bro

[opaque sigil]

I've read a bit about it and it sounds wild

[chrome basalt]

The movie is good but the manga blows that shit out of the water

[opaque sigil]

ik ik

[chrome basalt]

Lowkey it might be better than any of Miyazaki’s movies, which is high praise coming from me since I’m a Ghibli nut

Also the movie only adapts like 1/5 of the full story

[ivory mesa]

Update: I have finally beat the boss and now I am doing zote's fathers sidequest

[chrome basalt]

Oh shit, the Pale King is in Silksong?

[ivory mesa]

I dont know this guy is in a cloak. He says he used to be a part of some sort of gang.

[serene bluff]

i love when games give you a good look of a distant city

[chrome basalt]

Hollow Knight: Silksong, in which Hornet runs coke for the Crips

Actually she wears red so they would probably shoot her, nvm

[uncut citrus]

she slays

imo imo

[opaque sigil]

the one time she tries to stab a guy she gets stopped 😔

[uncut citrus]

can you even say there is a difference, then?

[uncut citrus]

she slays in spirit 😌

[chrome basalt]

Read the manga

[serene bluff]

this game is so pretty

[chrome basalt]

It’s great

[shell yacht]

nausica has a manga?

[chrome basalt]

The ost by Disasterpeace is fantastic too

[shell yacht]

i need it

[chrome basalt]

I have the box set

[shell yacht]

give it here

[serene bluff]

unfortunately it’s 2:15 am so i gotta go now bye

[chrome basalt]

Cya

Man this picture is taking forever to send

[chrome basalt]

Boom

[opaque sigil]

I want to

[cerulean sable]

unironically had a double take

was thinking, mr john elden eing himself made books?

[charred surge]

Iirc it was a manga before it was a movie; one day I’d like to get my hands on it lmao

[chrome basalt]

Everyone in chat can take turns borrowing my copy

[charred surge]

I was so confused at first hearing “Miyazaki” when people were talking about Elden Ring before realizing it was just a different guy who happened to have the same name

[chrome basalt]

The two Miyazaki’s are complete opposites, it’s so funny

Beautiful world of magic and wonder or horrifying world of horror and hopelessness

And both are the best in their respective fields tbh

[flat remnant]

what is elden ring myazaki's opinion on the beatles

[chrome basalt]

“Ringo has the best singing voice out of all of the Beatles”

He said that word for word actually

[flat remnant]

as a whole though

[charred surge]

To really complete it, it’d be funny if it was a dynamic like ghibli Miyazaki and Junji Ito where one creates whimsical and fantastical worlds but is frankly kinda an ass irl, and the other creates dark and twisted realities but is a whimsical mf irl

[chrome basalt]

He said he prefers Radiohead I think

[flat remnant]

because if he likes them it'll be like this but with two miyazakis

[flat remnant]

REAL

[chrome basalt]

Miyazaki has some unsavory moments, mostly with his son, but beyond that he kinda cooks when talking about everything else, his assessment of the anime industry is spot on

I’d rather some be grumpy and be right and be super happy but have nothing to say (at least in regards to artists I don’t personally know)

[uncut citrus]

yay!

[charred surge]

I’ve said it before, but Hayao Miyazaki to me seems to be a man who can be very blunt, both for better or for worse

[chrome basalt]

Yeah, he’s definitely too hard on his son, but tbf his son is not nearly as good of a director as he is

Though maybe one could argue that’s partially due to less than ideal guidance

[cerulean sable]

ytueee

[chrome basalt]

Also his movies slap so who cares if he’s sometimes an asshole

[fiery burrow]

[charred surge]

https://tenor.com/view/sprites-spirited-away-totoro-soot-gif-14731450

[uncut citrus]

[cerulean sable]

meanwhile, junji ito

[flat remnant]

he's a barbie girl in a junji ito world

[chrome basalt]

I will say though, since so many people expressed and interest in the Nausicaä manga, it’s definitely a lot darker than any of his movies

A lot of his nihilistic feelings on humanity and environmentalism come through a lot more strongly, likely because unlike his movies, the manga is 100% made by him

[charred surge]

I mean, Nausicaa is already one of ghibli’s darker movies so tbh that’s to be expected

[chrome basalt]

And also doesn’t have to be censored for film audiences

[charred surge]

Yeah makes sense

[chrome basalt]

True, but it has a straight up Disney ass ending, which was not Miyazaki’s choice. The ending of the movie ends at the 20% point of the manga, and things get crazy is all I’ll say

[charred surge]

Ngl I may have spoiled myself on perhaps some big plot stuff via some wiki but it’s also been a while so idk

[chrome basalt]

Damn

Well it’s still such a great story that there’s a lot to get out of it even if you know the plot

Bad stories are stories that have no value once you know what happens

[charred surge]

But honestly I’ve come to realize that even if a spoiler is unideal tbh it probably won’t affect my enjoyment of the media; after all, if a story is irreversible ruined by a spoiler, is it that strong of a story?

[chrome basalt]

That’s what I’m saying

[opaque sigil]

unless it's like fundamentally a mystery story I don't find spoilers to generally be that bad

and sometimes it makes it easier to appreciate the overarching narrative while you're in it to have some sense of where it's going

[charred surge]

Something I’ve come to really value in my games or movies or whatever is rewatchability or replayability or whatnot

[chrome basalt]

Even a good mystery should have something to offer upon rereading

[opaque sigil]

sure but there it's "ok what did I miss" which is fundamentally a different approach than the initial reading

[chrome basalt]

Well that’s part of what I mean, a bad mystery catches you by surprise because of bullshit, but a good mystery can make you go “ooooooh shit, that was right in front of my nose” when you reread it

And honestly it doesn’t have to be a mystery to have that quality, Attack on Titan was the same when I rewatched it for the first time, I was having my mind blown every other episode by a character saying some shit that made me realize how far in advance everything was planned.

[charred surge]

Then you have kino like Columbo where the whodunnit is revealed at the start and the fun comes from seeing how Columbo tortures his victims

[chrome basalt]

Same with music, great music gets better the more you listen to it

Which actually makes me curious, what artists do y’all listen to?

[opaque sigil]

Not me listening to the same song on loop for hours

[charred surge]

For the record my use of “torture” here is metaphorical, I’ll admit I haven’t watched a ton of Columbo but I’m not aware of any times he waterboards anyone

[chrome basalt]

CIA type anime

[charred surge]

Did you just call Columbo an anime???

[chrome basalt]

Oh is it not? Thought you said it was

Whoopie doopsies

[charred surge]

It’s like an American live-action crime drama thingy from like the 70’s

[chrome basalt]

Damn

[chrome basalt]

I’m gonna guess a lot of videogame OSTs

[charred surge]

My music tastes be eclectic as shit; one moment I’m listening to lemon demon or whatever, the next some video game stuff, the next Mussorgsky, the next big-name music from like 70’s-80’s or whatever, so on and so forth. The baseline for my interest in music is “do I vibe with it in any way shape or form? Yes? Then it good”

[chrome basalt]

Fair enough

I mean that’s not too crazy, I think most people are a mix of random bullshit with one or two artists they return to a little more often than the others

[opaque sigil]

I just have a playlist filled with random shit that I put on when I walk

[glacial wren]

sollow snight

[tough dragon]

Yo who has any idea when ss comes out

[fiery burrow]

We don't know yet

[delicate viper]

yes but we're not going to tell you

[hollow terrace]

POWER OF FRIENDSHIP TRULY IS THE BEST NARRATIVE WRITING IN ALL FICTION

[delicate viper]

the knight literally defeats the radiance with the power of friendship

[chrome basalt]

“Um actually it uses the power of the Void unified under its will 🤓”

[uncut citrus]

Today we are reviewing our 413th ss-discussion quote

[delicate viper]

i mean hornet

[chrome basalt]

Oh okay

[uncut citrus]

more like fraternity

[chrome basalt]

“Um actually they’re not friends, Hornet just cares about ending the infection 🤓”

[uncut citrus]

they arent friends they are sibs 😌

they are besties

[smoky nebula]

They have sibling rivalry

[tough dragon]

What was happening between the king and herrah tho (was the white lady a side character)

[chrome basalt]

White Lady was the king’s wife, Herrah was his side chick

[carmine island]

So friendship

[rotund peak]

Nah, the Pale king was Herrah’s side man

[carmine island]

What do you mean your friendships aren’t forced and toxic???

[carmine island]

Who was herrahs husband then?

[fallow owl]

Whats going on here?

[rotund peak]

He’s dead

[fallow owl]

Talking about pale king horny adventures?

[carmine island]

I didn’t ask if he was alive I asked who he was

[rotund peak]

I mean actually maybe she never had one

[warped rock]

king of deepnest

[smoky nebula]

They made a deal
Herrah would become a dreamer
PK would do the deed with her

[warped rock]

no we hear about a king of deepnest, but he's deffinitely dead

[rotund peak]

When do we hear about him?

[opaque sigil]

shrumal lore tablet

[sick elm]

Lore Tablet: Fungal Wastes - Near Deepnest

This border bounds the twisting, scratching things.
Their dead sire, once of honoured caste.
Their sealed mother, but the common beast.
No peace with them we make.

@tammo6424 used /lore-tablets area: Fungal Wastes name: Near Deepnest

[carmine island]

Fellas

Was deepnest a communist country?

[smoky nebula]

Once of honoured caste is kinda interesting

[shell yacht]

what if
crazy idea
they just meant pale king

[smoky nebula]

Pale king father to every bug in deepnest‽

Him and herrah did a lot then

[opaque sigil]

Not the sire of deepnest

[carmine island]

You disagreed on video game lore with me you should leave the discord

[barren sequoia]

It is kinda weird hornet was herrahs only kid

[chrome basalt]

Considering they had royalty, no probably not

[barren sequoia]

Dont spiders lay eggs that have like hundreds of babies?

[warped rock]

"their sire" means the king of deepnest was real

[shell yacht]

he sired one child and brokered peace, makes more sense than a total unkown imo

ok but, read it as if it describes hornets life

[warped rock]

well they lay eggs into cocoon-ish things and... i forget

but spiders are weird

[smoky nebula]

Hornet, a twisting, scratching thing‽

[carmine island]

Spiders are cool

[smoky nebula]

Egg sacks

[warped rock]

they freak me out, less than other people but i dont want to touch them

[barren sequoia]

Yeah they can do like 30 eggs per sac

[warped rock]

wont kill one though

[shell yacht]

hornet drill mode = twisting
scratching = spider legs

[warped rock]

not real ones

[barren sequoia]

Spider eggs are more akin to what we find with the vessels born in

[warped rock]

you might be onto something ⁉️

[smoky nebula]

But hornet is only one thing
Why would they say things

[chrome basalt]

She’s schizophrenic

[barren sequoia]

Also wouldn't that require knowledge of the pks death?

Feel like that was supposed to be very specifically hidden

[smoky nebula]

Also, once of honoured caste
The once doesn't make sense if it's the pale king

[static harbor]

me praying for it being a grimm referance:

would be rly funny

[shell yacht]

be really lame

[static harbor]

ig so

[tough dragon]

Fact

[shell yacht]

ok distracted by modpings, uhh what was my point

oh

[static harbor]

yea but that would seem op ingame imo

[smoky nebula]

Pale king, sire of deepest's horrors

[tough dragon]

Spawn too many weaverlings

[static harbor]

would kinda just have to be weaversong on crack

[static harbor]

fr

[tough dragon]

That’s what I’m saying

[static harbor]

spawn so many weaverlings you crash the boss's wifi

[shell yacht]

its common knowledge PK is just fucking gone, knowing hes dead is a logical assumption and just a 50/50 guess without any info. plus shrooms mock him enough already i can see this meaning PK

[tough dragon]

Also where is that lore table thing

[static harbor]

which

theres like a million

[tough dragon]

This one

[barren sequoia]

I mean sure? But just kindve feels like a stretch yknow

[static harbor]

near deepnest in fungal ofc

[tough dragon]

🤦‍♂️

[shell yacht]

deepnest fungal tablet it says on the bottom

[static harbor]

thats what im saying 💯🔥

[tough dragon]

I’ll find it myself

[barren sequoia]

Plus I feel like the pale king is more than an honored caste

[static harbor]

im sure someone has a vid of every lore tablet lol

[barren sequoia]

He was a fucking god for millions of bugs

[tough dragon]

Relyea probs has a vid

[shell yacht]

i just think its alot weirder for Herra to have a dead husband that wasnt considered a beast, and simultaneously have no info on him

[static harbor]

was legit typing that but changed it LMAO

[tough dragon]

😂

[rotund peak]

I have been thoroughly bested, well done

[barren sequoia]

I would say its quite possible something that was just not included due to time and budget constraints originally and maybe planned for the hornet dlc

[static harbor]

didnt the pale king and herra only get together because he wanted a legitimate child?

[smoky nebula]

I feel like the king of deepnest is either something we won't ever know, or something that will be touched up on in silksong
Honoured caste could mean pharloom high society, which he would have left to go to hallownest, meaning he was once of honoured caste

[barren sequoia]

She wanted a kid

[shell yacht]

also the mushrooms didnt join hallownest,honored caste is the best compliment theyll give him

[rotund peak]

No, because she wanted a child of high birth

[barren sequoia]

The pale king could give less of a shit about offspring

[tough dragon]

All the others were disappointments

[rotund peak]

Lmao

[shell yacht]

no bc herra wanted one,so he sired one

[static harbor]

pure vessel:

definition of angel child right there 🔥

[rotund peak]

One out of possible millions

[tough dragon]

Yeah we don’t talk about him

[smoky nebula]

The chosen vessel was a pretty good child methinks

[tough dragon]

Who’s done pantheon 5

[static harbor]

which one? the knight or pure vessel?

[smoky nebula]

Pure vessel

[static harbor]

me, why

[tough dragon]

Pure vessel

[smoky nebula]

The knight is just some rando vessel

[tough dragon]

I’m struggling

[barren sequoia]

Yeah we see he did somewhat actually care about the hollow knight but I dont think he would ever really want a heir

[rotund peak]

The knight wasn’t chosen

[rotund peak]

He probably thought he’d live forever

[barren sequoia]

His whole philosophy of an enternal kingdom doesnt much require an heir

[static harbor]

ig not chosen, but t'was its destiny to take the infection from the hollow knight and become the next vessel for radiace so idk

[tough dragon]

How did it escape the abyss

[barren sequoia]

Yeah and he probably would've

[static harbor]

he wouldnt give up his throne he needs to feel above others

[rotund peak]

Not it’s, t’was the Hollow Knight’s, and it failed

[static harbor]

ye and after failing isnt that like- the whole reason the knight came back to hallownest

[smoky nebula]

He was a god

[static harbor]

to become the next vessel (infected/sealed siblings endings)

[smoky nebula]

Having a reason implies thought

[barren sequoia]

Yeah other than the pk we dont exactly see a god dying in game

[static harbor]

true

[tough dragon]

How did the knight climb out of the abyss and then just wander to howling cliffs

[tough dragon]

Was pk a god tho

[barren sequoia]

We can beat the radiance in dream no more but that seems more like the void just consuming her

[smoky nebula]

Not elaborated on
We know several vessels did escape the abyss on their own

[barren sequoia]

By all definitions that dude was a deity

[tough dragon]

Broken vessel, the knight and that’s a bout it

[static harbor]

idk man how did salubra not get semi-infected like sly
questions we dont need answers to

[smoky nebula]

"Born of god and void"

[shell yacht]

secret tunnel

likely an opening to stagways somewhere

[static harbor]

isnt that saying about the vessels tho

[barren sequoia]

Yeah and the vessels are constantly referred to as higher beings

[static harbor]

god and void as in the void in the vessels, and pk is the god

[smoky nebula]

The vessel in the hornet arena that drops the mothwing cloak
The many vessels in the nosk arena

[shell yacht]

yeah.. the parents being gods

[tough dragon]

The king is just a worm

[static harbor]

broken vessel didnt escape g

[barren sequoia]

Would the vessels be like 150% god?

[smoky nebula]

Worms can see the future‽

[tough dragon]

What

[shell yacht]

broken vessel did escape

[barren sequoia]

Made of 2 deities and an acient weird all consuming power

[tough dragon]

Exactly

[static harbor]

50% god: pk, 50% void: their shades

[shell yacht]

all vessels putside the abyss that arent THK escaped

[smoky nebula]

Child of 2 gods, killed and gutted and possessed by the void

[static harbor]

and then died tho, or am i dumb and just got infected

[tough dragon]

Who is this now

[undone zenith]

You don’t wanna know
ok bye

[smoky nebula]

Literally every vessel

[tough dragon]

He got infected

[static harbor]

also are we counting the vessel(s) hornet commited mass genocide in greenpath as esacped?

[shell yacht]

died

[tough dragon]

Ah

[static harbor]

@shell yacht ?

[shell yacht]

every vessel

[static harbor]

bc they technically escaped

[smoky nebula]

Died
Broken vessel isn't infected until the knight enters the arena and the light seeds enter it

[tough dragon]

I thought they were just people

[static harbor]

no hornet kills vessels i forgor why tho

i think to test if theyre worthy or sm shit

[shell yacht]

the door was locked behind THK and never reopened, all vessels outside are escapees

[tough dragon]

Like at first I thought elderbug was a vessel then I realised he just a dude

[smoky nebula]

The vessels are visually distinct from almost every bug in hallownest
The closest thing to the vessels that isn't one is zote

[static harbor]

ok but hear me out
what the hell is zote

[smoky nebula]

Zote and elderbug are the only ones that look like vessels

[shell yacht]

shes not testimg vessels, shes exterminating them so they dont fuck up the seals

[static harbor]

elderbug doesnt imo

[tough dragon]

Good point

[shell yacht]

zotes just an old guy

[smoky nebula]

Vaguely

[tough dragon]

Like elderbug

[static harbor]

meh

[smoky nebula]

Zote's an old guy with parent issues
The knight is an old thing with parent issues

[barren sequoia]

Zote could be anything but he does have a mouth

[static harbor]

i think no matter what zote and elderbug are the same species

[barren sequoia]

For some reason all wyrm spawns do not have mouths

[static harbor]

not vessels tho

[static harbor]

lore related i forgor why its in a tablet tho

[tough dragon]

There is more than one?

[static harbor]

no voice to cry suffering or smth

[fallow owl]

Higher being are gods, they talk by telepathy

[static harbor]

every vessel is a wyrm spawn-
the pk is a wyrm-

[barren sequoia]

No thats just the void fucking them up

[fallow owl]

Vessels just dont talk

[shell yacht]

they have mouths, you just dont see it

[barren sequoia]

The pale king could definitely talk

[tough dragon]

I

[static harbor]

lol

[smoky nebula]

Hornet could also talk

[static harbor]

hornets a spider

[tough dragon]

I broke ok

[shell yacht]

they do not

[smoky nebula]

Yea but still the pale King's child

[static harbor]

not a vessel tho so it doesnt matter
