All the above

[lament pine]

Is silksong even real

Was it all a collective case of schizophrenia?

[high hedge]

there's actually a steam page for a demo

[serene chasm]

Are any of us even real

[high hedge]

a demo for yiik IV

[lament pine]

It’s all a lie

[quiet knot]

You were in a coma for 4 years, Silksong released 1 year ago.

[high hedge]

play the yiik IV demo

[quiet knot]

Thats insane

[high hedge]

I know this was supposed to be a nose but i tbought it was Hornet's shell being peeled off and exposing her head's innards.

[high hedge]

OH THATS NOT WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE???

I've never had one but I love toffee

[errant silo]

toffee is good too

[sacred stratus]

Toffee is good

[high hedge]

yeye

I like when frozen yogurt places have a toffee flavor

[quiet knot]

What is toffee

[sacred stratus]

Type of candy

[high hedge]

its like a sort of hard candy

[sacred stratus]

I sadly don’t like yogurt because of the smell. Sensitive nose

[quiet knot]

Ah

[high hedge]

its hard to describe the taste

[sacred stratus]

Also hi Fantastic!

thats intentional

the director thought it would provide interesting composition

[haughty ingot]

Is base game ELDEN RING fair game?

[neon adder]

Welp. Hollow Knight is one of the best games of all time

notice how they capitalize all of elden ring dlc but not granblue fantasy... seems they already know the superior title

So, how goes the silksong waiting?

[tough glen]

The what

Tf is a silksong

[sacred stratus]

We should ban anyone here who is under 18

[tough glen]

Just mark the channel as 18+

[haughty pumice]

That's not gonna stop anybody

[tough glen]

But at that point it's their problem not ours

[haughty pumice]

Fair enough

[deep laurel]

ban anyone who has not beaten anyrad

[grand ferry]

deleting the server is a brilliant move

[haughty pumice]

Indeed

[deep laurel]

why are you even waiting for silksong if you didn't play every hollow knight mod?

[coarse leaf]

I just saw this in the reddit it's wild that people think this is a real '' leaked'' image

[normal latch]

yeah

[normal latch]

I wish it was real tho

[young saffron]

[coarse leaf]

It was the skylanders remastered that gave it away for me

[grand ferry]

pokemon deep black and vast white

[coarse leaf]

I would give up silksong if that was real I played so much skylanders when I was a kid

[charred surge]

No pokemon gray smh

[errant silo]

same I grew up on skylanders

the nostalgia is unreal

[coarse leaf]

They should bring it back but it's been years

[errant silo]

I don't think it'll be back, not in the same way :(

[young saffron]

April is almost over

What the fuck is even going on any more

[coarse leaf]

Yah😭

[errant silo]

we are nearly 33% through the year

[coarse leaf]

Tragic

[young saffron]

I'm getting old

June will be the light at the end of the tunnel

Don't doubt it

[errant silo]

I've got exams in June :'(

[young saffron]

I think my course will be starting in may/June

[errant silo]

you guys start in the middle of the year?

[coarse leaf]

Na imagine being 13 playing hollow knight then being 18 and still no silksong

[young saffron]

Nah this is some private uni stuff, my country is weird

[errant silo]

oh u rich

[young saffron]

Their intakes at like may intake and September intake,

[young saffron]

No private unis here are worse than the public's lop

[half arrow]

Bruh,its so false

[errant silo]

never heard of that, we usually start in feb

[young saffron]

Because ALS/OLS exam finish around that time and those exams are the requirement for entry

[errant silo]

ripp bro

[young saffron]

But we live with it

[errant silo]

whats als/ols?

[coarse leaf]

Yah there where people in there saying it was real lol 😆

[half arrow]

Really?

[young saffron]

Cambridge exams, kinda like highschool ig?

OLS is before ALS, ALS is equivalent to a GPA

[coarse leaf]

Yes

[half arrow]

Lol

[coarse leaf]

Also silksong coming in June I can feel it

[errant silo]

I'm assuming ur from the UK, in Aus it's a completely different system lol

[young saffron]

There is literally 3 Zelda announcements lol

[coarse leaf]

Or like may 10th because that's my birthday

[half arrow]

Out of jokes, i think is posible

[errant silo]

omg another may person

[coarse leaf]

Don't forgot 3 pokemongames

[young saffron]

Nah I'm from a country colonized by the UK that still uses it education system despite gaining freedom

[errant silo]

my apologies

It's fine one day they get wiped and and see how It feels lol

[young saffron]

What the fuck

[errant silo]

we gotta rise up against them

[young saffron]

It rains like every day here but the heat just won't go away

[coarse leaf]

I can take the heat but I hate humidity

So anyone play pokemon go

[errant silo]

I used to, during the lockdowns

[coarse leaf]

It's so epic you should re install and friend me

[errant silo]

I kinda wanna, but I'm afraid it's gonna dox me

[coarse leaf]

Dox💀

[deep laurel]

install pokemon sleep for complete coverage

[near adder]

No news here?

[coarse leaf]

Depending on what country you live in your gifts could be pretty pog

[manic abyss]

Pokemon Go during the lockdown? how do you even do that

[coarse leaf]

They gave a lot of remote raid passes

[manic abyss]

You couldn't go outside so did you just walk around at home?

[errant silo]

I think they had extra spawns during them

[manic abyss]

I see

[errant silo]

and I lived near a stop and gym

[coarse leaf]

I am almost high enough lol to make my own poke stops

I want one on my house

[errant silo]

loll do it

I'll try lol

[deep laurel]

you're opening a pkm center?

I think a poke stop

[grand ferry]

[charred surge]

Pikmin center

[errant silo]

can't believe Pokemon go ripped off Pikmin bloom

[young saffron]

Silksongs play count is going to be enormous

[young saffron]

No rest for the wicked is the game btw

Was revealed quite recently and gained some good traction since it was made by ori creator

[unborn dome]

that's not enormous

[young saffron]

It's decent

[warped rock]

what is this

[young saffron]

Ori wotw got 31k peak

[young saffron]

No rest for the wicked, new game from Ori creator l

[plucky stag]

moon studios?

[young saffron]

Yep

Game is still in early access though and has alot of flaws

[warped rock]

one thing i hope silksong does right is lava physics

it unsettles me whenever i see lava depicted as some flowy liquid

like its immersion breaking

[barren sequoia]

They got the black part of lava atleast

[warped rock]

watching invincible season 1, and they have this fight scene at mount rushmore and there's lava which, no there isnt but then the lava is a liquid and very flowy and for that one reason alone it bumped my overall enjoyment of the serious down

[coarse leaf]

[cerulean sable]

hronet should be able to blind fire

basically you hold down to use any terrain with enough height to use it as cover

then pressing the tool button makes hornet blind fire from that cover

it should also be janky af

like half of the terrain arent usable as cover

[warped rock]

what time zone is it for you

[deep laurel]

[blazing pecan]

Get good at counting

[deep laurel]

turns out ds3 is hard

[wide quartz]

Dang

[deep laurel]

it's been months since I tried progressing

[wide quartz]

I played elden ring and I now want a proper soulsborne experience

[blazing pecan]

DS3 is proper bullshit

Unfair game

The first ones fine

[wide quartz]

I thought ds3 was the best one

[sinful flare]

dark souls 2 was better

[wide quartz]

Is this bait

i know peoples opinions on ds2 are very split

[manic abyss]

3ds better ngl

[wide quartz]

SHRUE

I got mother 3 on my 3ds maybe j should just play that

[formal marsh]

you should play this indie metroidvania tbh

[wide quartz]

Symphony of the night

[formal marsh]

wrong! hollow knight

[deep laurel]

bloodstained

[wide quartz]

I was gonna play sekiro but that's spoiled if I already have ds3

[deep laurel]

the first boss is fun

[wide quartz]

And then everything after that

I hope I enjoy it then...

[teal ivy]

I just got sekiro

better than bloodborne?

[blazing pecan]

Castlevania Symphony of the Night is nothing like Super Metroid so it would just be a Vania type game

[formal marsh]

true

[manic abyss]

you should play Gollum imo

[formal marsh]

thus you should play hollow knight

[wide quartz]

[blazing pecan]

Sekiro is the best game Fromsoft has ever made

[nimble radish]

gollum when I rip off his stupid face

[blazing pecan]

If you can handle its combat

[formal marsh]

putting sekiro over elden ring?

[wide quartz]

Maybe I should finally reread lord of the rings

[wide quartz]

I didn't really like elden ring

[blazing pecan]

I wouldn't put Elden Ring over the first two Dark Souls games

I gave Elden Ring a 10 on first playthrough and a 6-7 on subsequent

[teal ivy]

Hollow knight clears >

[wary storm]

ori wotw was worse than 1st game tbh

[blazing pecan]

The game felt cool but very poorly thought through

[nimble radish]

bloodborne would have been good if not for the shadows of yharnam

[wide quartz]

The director of the whole series says that he creates the worlds first and gameplay second

[teal ivy]

I slightly prefer exploration and atmosphere with these games

[deep laurel]

no way

[wide quartz]

(in his mind ofc not when actually making it)

[blazing pecan]

The world was the part that felt poorly thought through

It was not compelling

[wide quartz]

[deep laurel]

wotw was on same level as hk

[wary storm]

aint no way you just said that

[nimble radish]

not sure I'd go that far

[teal ivy]

leave🤪

(I’ve never played it)

[wide quartz]

I still need to try wotw

[blazing pecan]

I can't wait for Nine Sols to come out, that game looks perfect

https://youtu.be/_JQ_XO9Acuc?si=kjcmuZN1F7KJEvPe

[wary storm]

wotw have worse weapon mechanics, 50% of the weapons dont even have upgrades, "amulets" are just +50% dmg, when below 30% hp, +30% hp, +40% that +50% this

[wide quartz]

Isn't there another new metroidvania with the same sort of aesthetic

[wary storm]

bosses are just piece of meat that you can kill in like 10 seconds with 3 bow upgrades

[wide quartz]

I think it was in the recent Nintendo showcase

[blazing pecan]

This has been in development for at least as long as Silksong if not more so idk

Definitely more

[deep laurel]

why do so many metroidvanias strive for weird looking protagonist?

[manic abyss]

Crowsworn

[wide quartz]

Not trying to bring controversy that's just what I remember

[wary storm]

metroidvania part suck, becuase you literally can buy triple jump on the start of the game

[nimble radish]

most important part of making a game is making the protagnoist really weird looking

[manic abyss]

because playing as a normal dude wouldn't be fun

[wide quartz]

Bo path of the teal lotus

[wide quartz]

Face of the game has to stand out

[nimble radish]

realistically, you do want your characters to be recognizable
ideally from just the silhouette

[manic abyss]

I mean that's true

[wary storm]

wotw better just by graphics and maybe sense of joy when you running away from something big, but besides that game is just rushed

[manic abyss]

Indie games in general just have very instantly recognizable characters

[wide quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/sans-dance-goosebones-literally-no-one-gif-18776666

Delights what was that first reacf

[wary storm]

i think devs wanted to make their game before silksong, but silksong isnt even out yet

[manic abyss]

I mean, the knight, Niko, the fire head guy from Dead Cells, the fox dude from that new game, Sans

[wide quartz]

Brad armstrojg

[wary storm]

lisa the painful mentioned !!!

[wide quartz]

The visual style of the whole game also helps

[wary storm]

baseball guy from off

[wide quartz]

I think he is a bad example

The overworld sprite is too small to be recognisbale

Ik the battle sprite is much better but there's a lot of disconnect

[wary storm]

slugcar from the rain world

[wide quartz]

I honestly think of the judge when thinking of off

Off is still amazing though

Whats a game that uses simplistic graphics to make a recognisable main character

Celeste maybe

[wary storm]

have you played lisa the pointless?

[wide quartz]

Yessss

Amazing game

[wary storm]

hell yeah

[wide quartz]

Once the revamp comes out I'm sure it'll surpass painful

[wary storm]

waiting for 3 things - monster update pointless, silksong and second rain world dlc

and also for 44 trillion billion dollars every day

[wide quartz]

Oh the new character?

[wary storm]

painful is the idea, pointless is the part of that idea, i like how MU wants to be more darker

[wide quartz]

I definitely prefer it to hopeful

[wary storm]

didnt played hopeful tbh

[wide quartz]

It just continues with the Lisa formula

[wary storm]

is that game good or nah?

[wide quartz]

It's worth a play

But it doesn't expand on the original like pointless does

[wary storm]

i love the ideas and overall the vibe of pointless, as the world where no one literally wants to chase the girl, trash island guys, desert nomads and violent downtowners are doing their own things

[wide quartz]

Finding a meaning out of a pointless world....

[cunning marlin]

Pls release the game before the return of christ

[wide quartz]

I'll try my best

[wary storm]

and powerscaling is good tbh, old scavenger who learnt his fighting style from 1 video, and marksman who dont shoot

[wide quartz]

Have you played sotw and IU

[wary storm]

and hobo/mexican guy with cool clock/salt crab/ dude who was thirsty

[wide quartz]

Ah yes

[wary storm]

idk, i think no, but i wanted to

[wide quartz]

I'm holding off on sotw because the dynamic of Alex and Joel is too strong

Adding more characters kinda defeats the purpose

[wary storm]

in my game i couldnt do some things, as finding that guy from act 1

he was in the rando camp

cant remember his name, he then appears under green moon on top of some building

with jersey on his head

[wide quartz]

What does he look like

[wary storm]

big guy with paddle i think

[wide quartz]

Are you sure you haven't played sotw

[wary storm]

oh i found him

[wide quartz]

Yeah that's definitely sotws

[wooden quest]

has anyone here ever had to do jury duty

[wary storm]

i didnt found him

i fought wilbur sin, thats for sure

fight with third fold wasnt possible to me btw, so i think it was just sotw

I think the reason I don't like them is less to do with any fault of theirs, and more that they're so far from the lantern

but I also am exaggerating how much I didn't like them

[marsh ibex]

#627131347705659402 message

they’re from Pharloom

[blazing pecan]

I asked how mechanically the Weavers will tie into Pharloom, is that really where they come from? Why wasn't it mentioned? Do the Weavers give Hornet powerups?

Is Hornet void?

But we don't see any other spiders in the trailer outside of Hornet

[marsh ibex]

Yes we do

[fiery burrow]

It is mentioned and they will help restore Hornet's spells

[marsh ibex]

we literally see a weaver in pharloom

There’s weaver iconography in the entire game

[blazing pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-hornet-gif-19850230

[sick elm]

Charm: Weaversong

Silken charm containing a song of farewell, left by the Weavers who departed Hallownest for their old home.

Summons weaverlings to give the lonely bearer some companionship and protection.

@starpengu used /charms category: L-W charm: Weaversong

[fiery burrow]

The Weaver's old home is mentioned here, its just not given a name

[keen harness]

What something you didn't like in hollow knight And you don't want to see it in silksong

[marsh ibex]

it was mentioned it’s just random to say exactly where they came from

Especially because we see one weaver in Hallownest and they aren’t in a talking mood

[keen harness]

Good Question

[fiery burrow]

That would make the player think Pharloom is a place that they'll hear more about later in HK

[blazing pecan]

I felt like a lot of the charms were kind of useless but I think that's already being addressed, umm, I think it's a bad idea to gate all the powers from the start, I think you should either start with dash, double jump or wall jump, I didn't like how there was rarely a good reason to use Dirtmouth as a hub area outside of side quests

I also think it was too easy to not be able to figure out how to get the Dream No More ending

[marsh ibex]

?

charms sure

but like…

the second is literally a common metroidvania thing

[blazing pecan]

Yeah but the areas in HK were too big and you start too slow for no powers

[stiff burrow]

Could not disagree more

[blazing pecan]

People need to know how the game feels right away to stick around until it gets better

[opaque sigil]

that's just not really how metroidvanias work

[keen harness]

For me the little knight it was quite slow i know i didn't Feel that Because I was enjoying exploring, but when you get to Boss and lose, it brings you back from the check point, and that's kinda boring

[blazing pecan]

Then I'd want it to be less inspired by Metroid

[marsh ibex]

this is like complaining about turn based combat in an rpg imo

[wide quartz]

This is a moment of all time

[blazing pecan]

Super Metroid is my favorite game btw

[keen harness]

Yeah i think but was a few of them

[wide quartz]

0 to hero is better than 5 to 10

[blazing pecan]

5-50

[opaque sigil]

the respawn system but that's already back so

[marsh ibex]

At least it’s stationary

[opaque sigil]

rosary storage helps but still

[blazing pecan]

One of my worries about Silksong is that each area type will end up being massive but that there won't be as much variety in the number of colors and themes as there was in HK

I hope I'm wrong

[opaque sigil]

hk had waaaay less variety than ss does even just from what we've seen

[blazing pecan]

Because TC won't want to reuse ideas they already did

[opaque sigil]

hk is a bunch of damp blue caves

[fiery burrow]

mfw Greenpath is still drenched in a blue hue constantly

[blazing pecan]

I hope there's areas that make you feel like you found something off the beaten path, like stumbling on the entrance to the Abyss, or the top of Crystal Peak, or the Land of Storms, or the Hive

I want there to be another big combat trial spectacle like the Colloseum

I'd like more lore on Higher Beings/Pale Beings

[fiery burrow]

HBs are plausible, the two Pale Beings are dead and in Hallownest

[opaque sigil]

wl's not dead but she's not goin anywhere

[fiery burrow]

Oh

[blazing pecan]

Wat

[marsh ibex]

That’s their fucking mom dude

[blazing pecan]

O

Right

My bad but don't call me dude please

[uncut citrus]

You forgot

😌

[raw sphinx]

oh brother

[formal marsh]

lack of npc dialogue! and my wish will come true

[half arrow]

Unlike Hallonest, Pharloom seems to be a living kingdom, and Hornet can talk, sooo... we'll have quite a few conversations in Silksong

[fiery burrow]

Terrible enemy design

and Godhome

[opaque sigil]

tbf the concept of godhome could be salvaged

[half arrow]

What

[fiery burrow]

HoG is nice

Pantheons are mid

[opaque sigil]

pantheons aren't even terrible in principle it's just p5 that's really bad

[keen harness]

The game is bigger so I Dont think so

[fiery burrow]

They're kinda bland imo

[opaque sigil]

it's true that even p1-4 could certainly stand to be trimmed

[half arrow]

To me, they seem like a very good concept of Bosh Rush and it gives play to replayability

[opaque sigil]

it doesn't help with replayability, it's just something to grind out after you've played the actual game

[deep laurel]

it's optional

[opaque sigil]

doesn't make it not a clumsy addition

[half arrow]

Yes, I was wrong there.

[half arrow]

it's not a clumsy addition

[opaque sigil]

it really is

[median ivy]

dream warriors, and the hive

[half arrow]

Nu uh

[opaque sigil]

hk's boss quality is very inconsistent and there are a lot of them that simply didn't need to be in godhome

especially not in p5

p5 will throw two versions of a fight at you within one boss rush, that's just silly

[half arrow]

The joke of p5 IS that every Boss IS there

[opaque sigil]

and it's a joke that harms its ability to be fun

[median ivy]

godhome should be bigger

[opaque sigil]

that there is a clear concept for it doesn't mean that concept is good, and it already compromises that concept by not having base nosk, mantis lords, or base thk and rad

so it could cut out dd, fk, sm, bv, hornet protector, without breaking from the concept any more than it already does

it also could've omitted things like vfk, gruz mother, and massive moss charger

[half arrow]

One thing is repeat a bossfight, another is to leave out a boss

[opaque sigil]

calling any of those bosses is generous

[keen harness]

The hive you mean the whole Area?

[marsh ibex]

honestly let them cook

[opaque sigil]

godhome didn't have that shrumal ogre room in fw either, or pale lurker

[marsh ibex]

if massive moss charger wasn't in pantheon of hallownest would've been a bad game

[half arrow]

but they are

[opaque sigil]

not moreso than these encounters

hell vfk and gruz mother aren't even unique encounters

[manic abyss]

does that mean that hk was a bad game before p5 was added?

[silk zodiac]

yes

100%

[keen harness]

For me the little knight it was quite slow i know i didn't Feel that Because I was enjoying exploring, but when you get to Boss and lose, it brings you back from the check point, and that's kinda boring

[silk zodiac]

there's many ways to speed up getting around

like so many ways

[keen harness]

Don't make much difference

[wide quartz]

I think they mean casual ways

[silk zodiac]

ah well then yeah

[wide quartz]

Not speed running

[silk zodiac]

no not speedrunning i'm talking about literally teleporting around, speed charms, etc

[opaque sigil]

hk generally isn't even that bad with bench proximity to bosses but there are a few places where it's not great

[silk zodiac]

yeah I agree

[wide quartz]

Like hornet 2

Actually hornet 1 isn't much better

[opaque sigil]

hornet 1 and 2 are pretty well positioned there's a bench right there

soul master and mantis lords are a bit more of a runback, and tl

[fiery burrow]

I was using the toll bench for hornet 1

[wide quartz]

Same lmao

Is there actually another

[fiery burrow]

Stag

[wide quartz]

Oh man

[half arrow]

the truth? there's really nothing that bothers me
With what we know about silksong and how they are Team Cherry, I am not worried about the quality of the game, I would simply request that steel mode be different and more challenging, something like godhome also something like the coliseum of the foolish
and little else, because the gameplay looks crazy

[wide quartz]

That's still years away

[opaque sigil]

that's like maybe 30 seconds

[wide quartz]

You can beat the boss in less time

[median ivy]

i liked the concept but it was so damn empty

[keen harness]

And they really fixed this issue when you doing dash it gives to honest more like speed move

[fiery burrow]

It felt like there should've been a boss in Vespa's room!

[median ivy]

i dont wanna see something like that in silksong

[opaque sigil]

if your standard for a bench being appropriately close to a boss is like sub five seconds to get back then that's maybe not a great standard

[wide quartz]

That's the boss that is required for dash

[shell yacht]

key dif is pharloom is less dead and zombified, almost none of it will have the dead kingdom vibe

[keen harness]

That's what I mean.

[keen harness]

There is no spoiler here dont worry

[half arrow]

Now her can run and many other things

[fiery burrow]

Boss runs add stakes

[keen harness]

This will make the game faster and that's what I need

[nimble radish]

mmm, stake

[fiery burrow]

For stuff like NKG it felt like a pure gameplay challenge imo

[shell yacht]

i dont understand the death revisit mechanic hate, unless you died leaving the fully explored area youre going back anyway

[keen harness]

Now some people can do speedrunner and some can take thier time to To explore

[half arrow]

According to Team Cherry, everything in silksong is going to be much faster, and well... it can be seen perfectly in the trailers, in some bosses they seem to be in large scenarios in which you have to escape from them or something like that.

[wide quartz]

I hope silksong has souls like difficulty

[silk zodiac]

? why did my cartoonish anger get deleted

[cunning geode]

even the micro-transactions are gonna be faster

[wide quartz]

[half arrow]

Yep, Now that you mention it, the map must be huge

[opaque sigil]

because the purpose of the game design is meant to include allowances for you to say 'ok I'm not ready for this' and leave- shade makes you bang your head against that wall or say goodbye to your money (and the only banking service is a scam)

[keen harness]

Wow That's sound great

[wide quartz]

It feels more frustrating than it will actually impact you

[cunning geode]

confessor jiji amends all TC mistakes

[wide quartz]

Pretty early game you can get access to stores

[half arrow]

Now in Silksong there will be a system to save money

[keen harness]

So speed move should have been added

[wide quartz]

So you can just spend any that you might lose

[opaque sigil]

sure but relying on constant use of that is still annoying and the spool being reduced has the same problem

[shell yacht]

id agree, but areas by themselves arent dificulty spikes, unless you need lantern ig

[cunning geode]

hornet will save money on islands bereft of taxation

[young saffron]

First time seeing this

[half arrow]

It doesn't have to, but they have had to adapt the world to Hornet, we know that thanks to the fact that silksong is a game and not a dlc

[opaque sigil]

some of them sort of are, and there are also bosses that put the shade in the boss room forcing you to trigger the fight to recover it

[young saffron]

Feels very cramped ish for hornets movement style

Pretty easy to understand how much they needed to change compared to hk

[cunning geode]

they get a little teammate! isn’t that nice

[past sable]

Has there been new info about ss?

[young saffron]

No

[half arrow]

I dont know, let's just wait and see how they implement it.

[cunning geode]

not for some time

[young saffron]

Soon

[cunning geode]

could be

[past sable]

Wew, so ss in 2030 will be a thing?

[cunning geode]

oh before that

[opaque sigil]

hk already gives pretty good precedent for the consequences of that system in practice in that style of game

[half arrow]

10 of May

[young saffron]

Probable

[shell yacht]

no, after being released it will be taken back a few years later

[young saffron]

June release this year

[keen harness]

Her movement is so smooth even in the platform

[young saffron]

No more tomfoolery

No more lies

[cunning geode]

but but but

[past sable]

Wasn't that supposed to happen last year?

[young saffron]

That was just a hiccup

[half arrow]

Yes, currently we don't know what the merchants are like or how many there are, or what the money will be used for, so if they have introduced that new system, I suppose it is for a reason.

[young saffron]

[opaque sigil]

money isn't a new system

[maiden valve]

I they will all sell organs

[cunning geode]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/howtotrainyourdragon/images/9/94/Hiccup_Horrendous_Haddock_the_Third.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161130042856 you mean this guy

[keen harness]

Yeah and according to team shary the game will be bigger

[maiden valve]

WHAT ARE THOSE

[half arrow]

save some money yes

[formal marsh]

relics

[cunning geode]

those are his dogs

[formal marsh]

that is exactly what relics are used for

[opaque sigil]

they already explained how that works

[half arrow]

Team what?

[shell yacht]

hornet is faster by default her legs are longer

[opaque sigil]

relics aren't actually used for that but the ss analogue of it can be, i've already mentioned that if you would just read

[maiden valve]

So how fast would a grasshopper be

[opaque sigil]

stringing rosaries being a perennial chore in ss would be annoying

[keen harness]

team cherry sorry

[half arrow]

Yeah, but the meaning of It no

[formal marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/fax-fax-my-brother-spit-yo-shit-spit-yo-spit-yo-shit-indeed-gif-507805022135946814

[half arrow]

Xd

[opaque sigil]

the meaning of it is pretty clear

[maiden valve]

What is that necklace made of?

[formal marsh]

rosaries?

beads? idk

[cunning geode]

unrelated but i just found out the author of how to train your dragon Cressida Cowell is married to Simon Cowell, but not THAT Simon Cowell. that would’ve been fucking insane

[half arrow]

Yes, but I mean they did it for a reason, or you're going to die more frequently or something like that.

[maiden valve]

Looks like meat

[keen harness]

All of her movement are way better then little knight

[opaque sigil]

the tradeoff for that system is eminently clear and doesn't need some weird secondary motivation

it's just expanding relics to be a more symmetrical system

[half arrow]

well, you're right

[maiden valve]

I wonder who is controlling the giant robot boss like maybe the citadel or sherma

[half arrow]

Not only the robot, but the normal enemies are also being controlled

[maiden valve]

I know but is the robot a mech or is it like a toy car

[keen harness]

There's another thing, haven't you seen that they exaggerated in the bosses, especially in the end, you fight them over and over again, do you think this is kind of boring? I Loved path of pain

[maiden valve]

I mean I had no problem myself with refighting but for me probably that theres to many bugs

[fallen blaze]

Snow bunny heaven

[opaque sigil]

hk doesn't make you fight bosses over and over again in the main game

[silk zodiac]

so true cheese

[opaque sigil]

some bosses have two fights but those are mostly fairly transformative

[maiden valve]

Yeah and if its counting hornet 2 its still not the exact same

[keen harness]

@opaque sigil the pantheon?

[maiden valve]

Thats a dlc

[opaque sigil]

'in the main game'

godhome is a postgame grindfest it doesn't make sense to hold it by the same standards or treat it as a large part of the game overall

[fallen blaze]

Ping plus reply

[silk zodiac]

double the attention

[maiden valve]

Also the bosses are harder not any new attacks but their harder?

[keen harness]

I mean, why do we see things like a challenging platform? Like Path of pain not just fight a hard boss

[fallen blaze]

Its genius @silk zodiac

[opaque sigil]

well hornet 2 does have new attacks but generally a refight doesn't necessarily need new attacks to be interesting if it changes them up a bit

[keen harness]

This is not a souls like game

[silk zodiac]

@fallen blaze we must find the formula to triple ping all at once

[raw sphinx]

who/what do you guys think will be the main antagonist in ss?

[jade canopy]

People think they should approach godhome the same way they approach the rest of the game and do not realise it should be seen as bonus content for people who want more hollow knight
It’s sad because it makes it so some people end their hk playthrough on a rage quit

[maiden valve]

Thats not what im saying i also think if the boss is not just like how soul warrior is the same fight in the collo its diferent enough

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/shaggy-springtrap-gif-4708835326959206896

[shell yacht]

plot twist, its the weavers

[keen harness]

Not any npc in Previous game

[cunning geode]

one weaver that enslaved all the other weavers

[opaque sigil]

this is why it should be a separate mode

[cunning geode]

that could be a possibility

[raw sphinx]

i think it could be a weaver

[maiden valve]

I dont think fighting a butt with legs would be a cool fight

[raw sphinx]

or just someone we have no knowledge about rn, a ruler/cult

[shell yacht]

silksong pantheon idea:
its in that colloseum/theater.
its shoddy puppet versions of the bosses.
it gives you rewards you can actually use.

[maiden valve]

Sherma

[lament coyote]

Me.

[lament coyote]

That's quite smart

[silk zodiac]

what sort of rewards though

[nimble radish]

you don't want the rewards to be too good

[silk zodiac]

yeah

[nimble radish]

or it locks you out of actual content

which is not usually what you want for the hardest challenges

[opaque sigil]

maybe a superboss

[silk zodiac]

yeah like colo is optional right

[nimble radish]

last trial is just geo

[opaque sigil]

locking that behind some bullshit is basically a trope

[versed pollen]

And a %

[maiden valve]

Yeaaaah that would be cool

[silk zodiac]

and a new boss

[shell yacht]

eh, HK players dont even know a good reward when they see one, nobody uses kingsoul, mofos unironically suggesting heavyblow steady body .
the rewards can be strong imo

[manic abyss]

but how would the shoddy puppets use like magic/soul/silk/energy attacks

[opaque sigil]

yeah absrad's a bit of a letdown for that role

[lament coyote]

What's wrong with steady body though.

[nimble radish]

steady body is one of the good charms

[opaque sigil]

kingsoul is shit and sbody is good at high levels of play

and people very rarely suggest heavy blow outside of like maybe marmu sometimes?

[shell yacht]

some guy offstage throws a paper ball and yells LIGHTNINGBOLT
but also remember silksong isnt as magic heavy

[maiden valve]

Imagine thinking bugs can talk

[cunning geode]

its all acting

[keen harness]

Good question here guys i wanna see ur answers

[versed pollen]

What

Heavy blow will probably wreck Marmu for you because of bouncing

[jade canopy]

It is a real flaw of hk to have made it seem like godhome was an important part of the game, with % and endings
People raged when trying to beat godhome and that lead to their enjoyment of the game being lessened
I really liked godhome, I would want it’s equivalent in ss, but it cannot be "mandatory" or it will create annoyment

[versed pollen]

Heavy blow is mostly meta for bosses like Markoth and LK

[shell yacht]

just hit the little shit before she hits u

[jade canopy]

…

Nah heavy blow seriously… blows

[nimble radish]

godhome isn't really mandatory though, % is completionist stuff

[jade canopy]

It costs two whole notches

[fallen blaze]

Use thorns instead

[versed pollen]

Heavy blow stocks are going up you don't keep up

[opaque sigil]

it's not but the difference between having an ending there and not is substantial

[cunning geode]

heavy blow should apply bonus damage when hitting enemies into walls or other enemies

and gib enemies

[deep laurel]

and instakill

[fallen blaze]

Heavy blow should one shot every enemy

[versed pollen]

It's most often used in Markoth challenges now

[jade canopy]

The issue is that the best hk content is the not "mandatory" stuff, like I always recommend to people to 100% the game, as to experience radiance and stuff
How could you expect people to not think that godhome is similarly worth it ?

Godhome is strictly equivalent to getting dream no more ending in the eyes of a new player

But one is enjoyable for everyone while the other is gonna be a slog for most

[cunning geode]

hollow knight's design makes you always experience non mandatory stuff unless youre following instructions on where to go

which is great

[deep laurel]

godhome just is not for everyone

[cunning geode]

but there is some great stuff thats not as easy to find

[nimble radish]

well, if they start godhome and don't like it
it's their choice to not give up and do something worth their time

[maiden valve]

Like casuals

[fallen blaze]

Yeah nobody is forcing anyone to do godhome lol

[jade canopy]

Yeah that’s something which kinda annoys me
You can’t 100% hk without a guide
And you definitely don’t want to use a guide for hk
Like how does anyone find white defender ???

[opaque sigil]

nobody forces people to do dnm either

[cunning geode]

how do you think people get mod role here

[opaque sigil]

the positioning of godhome as part of the main progression is a problem

[fallen blaze]

Birthday gift

[cunning geode]

idk theres also something special by learning about secrets via word of mouth, its just nowadays you can simply look stuff up instead

[formal marsh]

i love godhome but i totally understand it shouldnt be linked to the main game much

[sinful flare]

i think getting mod role here is worse than a birthday gift

[nimble radish]

it kind of isn't

[formal marsh]

prepare for the reverse mod apps: you have to explain why you shouldn't get mod, and the admins decide if you are worthy of being spared

[sinful flare]

forced labor

[jade canopy]

Not everyone uses discord, this server was my first experience with discord and I joined it after sadly resorting to wikis
But yeah now (for example im playing rainworld) I can have people give subtle hint on what to do which is good, but not everyone has that available

[cunning geode]

discord aint the only method for word of mouth

[jade canopy]

There’s like Reddit ig

[cunning geode]

i guess yknow we dont really live in a time of forums anymore which is sad

[jade canopy]

But YouTube is only filled with step by step guides

[cunning geode]

hollow knight wouldve been magnificient to be a part of in older internet

[jade canopy]

Discord is kinda forums but… ig it’s not the same

[half arrow]

True,From my point of view, that has to be something totally secondary or postgame

[formal marsh]

irl word of mouth would be great for silksong, but i am almost definitely sure that i'd be the one from my friend group to progress the fastest

[silk zodiac]

so true

[cunning geode]

i think we're gonna have this experience when silksong comes out of people shying away from social media but sharing tidbits and cool stuff with close friends also playing the game and thats exciting

[nimble radish]

I'm going to spam all my friends with spoilers about the final boss

[fallen blaze]

Thanos....

[crisp pelican]

YOU WILL NOT

[formal marsh]

yeah thats the best part

[maiden valve]

I REALLY hope silksong will have a postgame since then we can probably fight new bosses we could not fight before

[jade canopy]

Yeah, as long as you know, a small group of people, who are willing to be respectful of spoilers, then it’s fine

[crisp pelican]

Is there any corner of hollow knight you haven't found

[sinful flare]

g think they prosafiagaming

[nimble radish]

you have nothign to worry about

[formal marsh]

it really has the potential to bring people together

[cunning geode]

maybe silksong can mend world ties

[sinful flare]

maybe silksong can fix turkish lira

[valid sable]

Silksong solves world hunger

[fallen blaze]

Try. Not to post final boss name and picture in title challenge

[crisp pelican]

Silksong solves greedy company problems by making a better game for cheaper

[formal marsh]

uhhh... vitruvian grub? seal in weaver's den? map room in grimm troupe tent? fungal core corpse? backer area?

surely theres at least one of those you havent seen before

[jade canopy]

And I’m hoping that #hk-help can be that but for this whole ass server
But that would require serious effort and mod action so idk

[maiden valve]

Evryone learns to eat bugs

[jade canopy]

The two geo rocks under the grub above a spike pit in deepnest

[half arrow]

Yes, I got my best friend to start playing Hollow Knight, and I will give him silksong when it comes out, I'm excited to share what I know and experience playing video games, that's one of my favorite things about the communities

[crisp pelican]

I haven't been to the land of storms but I've seen it and everything else

[formal marsh]

mantis lords lifeblood?

[crisp pelican]

Of course

[fallen blaze]

The seasoning is good but is the bug

[formal marsh]

uuuhhh... thats a hard one

[half arrow]

I suppose it will be like with Hollow Knight, but with much more content

[crisp pelican]

You know the room in the soul sanctum, where you play around with the dive

[formal marsh]

yeah

[crisp pelican]

With geo and a lore tablet?

[formal marsh]

yeah

[crisp pelican]

Dang

[maiden valve]

You unlock the option to play as luigi

[crisp pelican]

What about the geo under the bridge to the ancient basin

[jade canopy]

Geo rocks are where the hidden shit is

[formal marsh]

the bridge? you mean the tram platform? i do

[jade canopy]

Give some time to pull some screenshots

[half arrow]

Now you are GREEN

[deep laurel]

hollow knight mode

[formal marsh]

i think the most recent thing i've found out about hk was a specific lifeblood cocoon in greenpath

[crisp pelican]

Oh yeah that one

Before the moss knight

[fallen blaze]

Hollow knight from hollow knight comes to hollow knight: silksong

[maiden valve]

Lace more like GREEN sherma more like GREEN hornet more like GREEEEEEN

[cunning geode]

ah yeah the one above the first mossknight?

[crisp pelican]

The most recent thing I found out about was the pile of geo in a breakable ceiling in the tall crossroads room

[half arrow]

GREEEEEEN

[crisp pelican]

SHAW

[formal marsh]

OH wait the most recent thing i found out was the dream root/essence tree/whatever its called in ancestral mound

that one really blew my mind

[keen harness]

If SS has a voice acting do you think that will be Better

[formal marsh]

yea

[cunning geode]

no

[wanton charm]

No

[maiden valve]

Postgame everyone and everything turns GREEN

[fallen blaze]

🤖

[cunning geode]

yeah that one is super obscure

[formal marsh]

ive known that one for a bit but it was due to the dream root there

[crisp pelican]

Have you found the dream tree in a secret room at the broken city elevator?

[half arrow]

Green

[raw sphinx]

no

[formal marsh]

broken city elevator? you mean the one to basin?

[crisp pelican]

Yep

[keen harness]

why tho

[formal marsh]

i have yeah

[crisp pelican]

We've really run out of hollow knight content haven't we

[formal marsh]

that was the most shocked i've been over finding out something new in this game

[lament lotus]

ITS BEEN 5 YEARS

[maiden valve]

Ah yes the sohpisticated green

[fallen blaze]

Ita like 20 years old ofc we've run out lmao

[wanton charm]

Because why would bugs speak human languages? Also shaw

[formal marsh]

and i assume a lot less people would know about it if not for the fact they can look up essence locations

[half arrow]

I can't wait to find all the secrets in silksong

[keen harness]

😓

[half arrow]

The classic one

[formal marsh]

theres probably a lore tablet in greenpath i havent found
and i havent been to all secret rooms in white palace, but ive seen them all

[crisp pelican]

Petition to call the moss grotto "greenway" as a homage to its predecessor

[formal marsh]

actual voice acting? i think it'd be immersion-breaking

[maiden valve]

The nostalgia you get is crazy

[formal marsh]

i prefer the game with voices similar to HK

[lament lotus]

i mean theyd probably get voice actors for the random noises of the hollow knight world

[half arrow]

Real

[lament lotus]

ari and william will probably voice a couple people

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/p4a-quintingell-nerdfighter-ol-trash-water-hank-green-gif-13198694038544099180

[lament lotus]

LMAOOOOO

[keen harness]

Why arethey talk then ? When you speak to them

[opaque sigil]

Hearing normal languages would be a bit immersion breaking

[hollow terrace]

HANK GREEN

[crisp pelican]

The hallownest vocalized mod was pretty cool but it would definitely make the game worse than it ended up if they used it at launch

[maiden valve]

FINAL BOSS FIGHT!

[lament lotus]

they didnt even have enough money to make the game

[fallen blaze]

I can sorta read so I dont need voice acting smh

[half arrow]

Same

[formal marsh]

yeah hallownest vocalized is great but not for a first experience imo

[half arrow]

Green

[jade canopy]

Ok, I come back with my collection of super secret geo rocks

[maiden valve]

Turns out pharloom is all just on a big greenscreen

[crisp pelican]

I do think it would be cool to give the radiance and the impure vessels real voices, even if it's only for a few easy words, just to extensively prove a point

[keen harness]

They could have its own language in it like shadow of the clossas

[formal marsh]

i dont think ive seen the first one but i might have

[formal marsh]

thats how HK works, right? but instead of their own language, its mostly just noises

[cunning geode]

well thats already how Hollow Knight works, its just bug gibberish even if theyre real voice actors

[raw sphinx]

lol when i was trying to get true completion that bottom right geo rock was a pain to find

[jade canopy]

That one really is like peak obscure, though at this point it’s known to be an obscure one so it becomes less obscure obv

[crisp pelican]

Okay let me split that: it would be cool to give the impure vessels voices to prove the point that they're impure, and unrelated, hearing the radiance talk when you dream nail her would separately be very cool

[half arrow]

IS literally that

[opaque sigil]

HK already basically does unless that’s a full conlang in which case that would be a ton of work for not really that much benefit given that HK doesn’t do a lot of cutscenes with that dialogue overlay style

[maiden valve]

Yeah like if Joe Biden was in hk he would sound like hes saying uh uh uh uh uhhh

[crisp pelican]

The colosseum geo is amazingly secret

[jade canopy]

Hk has a language the only weird thing is that half of the letters are different shape of among us

[crisp pelican]

Hornet says "dros" almost every time she says "ghost"

[cunning geode]

suspicious

[keen harness]

They just say hmhmhm

[fallen blaze]

Hornet should speak spanish

[crisp pelican]

¿Que?

[half arrow]

Not really

[crisp pelican]

Rajo stenya...

[maiden valve]

Hornet has said get good and we all know thats we she meant to

[fallen blaze]

Like metaknight

[raw sphinx]

bapanada

[half arrow]

Porque? Quiero decir, si, pero porque?

[crisp pelican]

I like how a lot of lines coincidentally sound like words. Lemm sometimes sounds like "bound the carcus" and we all know the iconic GET GOOD!!!!

[fallen blaze]

Cuz itd be cool

[keen harness]

So the voice acting is a bad Idea

[maiden valve]

The one word we understand completely

[half arrow]

Theres voice acting

But not like you think

[keen harness]

When i played OCTOPATH TRAVELER the voice Change the game for the better

[cunning geode]

oh god no

[keen harness]

Hollow knight has a great lore

[fallen blaze]

Perchance

[crisp pelican]

I think it was intended to sound like get through, as in get through thk's mind to the radiance now

[fallen blaze]

Nah

[half arrow]

And what? It also has a dub of an invented language

[fiery burrow]

If HK had good lore it would be written by Kelsey Beachum

[maiden valve]

Nah get good

[hollow terrace]

And vaguely copies dune story

[formal marsh]

yeah tc saud that

[opaque sigil]

[formal marsh]

wait, they disnt

they said it's "gektu"

[maiden valve]

Just accept its get good

[crisp pelican]

[low salmon]

Hello

[keen harness]

You have the option

[maiden valve]

This is planted evidence its not real

[cunning geode]

this is awesome

[half arrow]

Actually is " get that!!"

[crisp pelican]

"She's psyching you up to go fight the radiance" team cherry humor yayyy

[maiden valve]

Wow you're playing silksong

[low salmon]

Yeah

It's amazing so far

[maiden valve]

Daaaang based

[crisp pelican]

I already finished silksong

[half arrow]

How they put that in their profiles?

[crisp pelican]

Best area is the forest of bones and song city

[fiery burrow]

Honestly if I was caught playing a game as mid as that I would just turn off my game activity settings all together

[maiden valve]

Wdym their just playing silksong

[formal marsh]

i like the green one

[low salmon]

I'm excited to get to the citadel

[cunning geode]

barnacle bay let me hear it!!!

[crisp pelican]

Boooo

[half arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gun-hollow-knight-hollow-knight-eyebrowns-gif-18404585

[maiden valve]

Yeah I heard its awsome

[crisp pelican]

The enemies there sucks its like kingdom's edge but pharloom

[keen harness]

That a fan made and its great

[cunning geode]

is this... really what he sounds like in the fan made mod?

[sinful flare]

yeah is it

[crisp pelican]

Okay I'm gonna go now cyall

[hollow terrace]

No

[cunning geode]

thats fucking botched why is he suave he's supposed to sound like a chronic smoker

[formal marsh]

discord has a feature for that
when you set it to display your game status, you can choose any program and set a custom name for it. for instance, you could select google chrome and name it "Baldur's Gate 3". and the custom image comes from the name, so it'd even get the image

[crisp pelican]

Good luck on silksoul mode when you beat silksong

[sinful flare]

that was PRECISELY what i was going to say

[keen harness]

Nah i saw this in YT

[cunning geode]

okay fair enough

[half arrow]

BRUH

[hollow terrace]

KAAN STOP LYING

[crisp pelican]

He lives off of fire, did you expect him to sound sexy or something? His throat is ashes

[sinful flare]

i saw hallownest vocalized mod before though only through nkg's dream nail voicelines and he doesnt sound like he's a chronic smoker

[cunning geode]

are you agreeing with me or disagreeing

[maiden valve]

No hes actually just playing the game calm down

[low salmon]

uhh, no I'm just playing Silksong

[half arrow]

DUDE

[hollow terrace]

https://youtu.be/wwWCwHhbwso?si=iJN_kGRQP8sJWVOY

[maiden valve]

Just chill out

[formal marsh]

oh, you got it an image and a timer + showing the area

ok thats more technical than anything i know to do on discord

[cunning geode]

okay brumm sounds alright

[sinful flare]

doesnt sound like a chronic smoker but its kind of there

[maiden valve]

Dude just accept that hes just chill enough to play early

[sinful flare]

brumm is ok

[fiery burrow]

There are programs to help you do that

[cunning geode]

yeah grimm is much better in this version

[sinful flare]

i appreciate grimm's va effort

[keen harness]

This is great I don't mind having voice acting in SS

[hollow terrace]

I DO mind it

[sinful flare]

technically both games do have voice acting

they just dont speak what language you would expect them to speak

[hollow terrace]

And back to square one of the topic

[maiden valve]

Did people forget that people that are chill like that like waffles can play silksong early

[valid sable]

Sounds a bit too amateur to me, which is what I'd fear from an official voice over as well; it just not quite sounding like I feel the character would

[fiery burrow]

if you play silksong you aren't chill

[opaque sigil]

Waffles are mid

[fiery burrow]

TRUE

Was just about to mention that

[hollow terrace]

Well yeah

It’s a fan mod

[keen harness]

English

[low salmon]

this is why you don't get to play early

[maiden valve]

What did waffley do to you man

[keen harness]

And you have the option to turn it off
