sk-discussion

[coarse leaf]

Theres no inbetween here, they chose not to deconfim the claim

[cerulean sable]

that is also a thing, but tbf Simo probably was just relaying what was expected without it being directly from TC i dunno

[coarse leaf]

And for something as big and important as that, its not gonna be interpreted as "maybe idk we'll see", but as a confirmation

[iron spear]

Internal date changed, it should never have been reported to the public. But they probably should have said something like 6 months in. Oh well

The real issue is actually caring about this lol

[strange night]

Oh my god, kindly who gives a shit

[strange night]

TRUE

[wanton eagle]

Graig when is your KS?!

I have been waiting longer than ss for it

[iron spear]

Soon!!

[wanton eagle]

Is it done testing?!

[iron spear]

I'm wrapping up the roc demo now!

[wanton eagle]

Yayyy

[iron spear]

Just when everyone is at their lowest Graig will come save you with Roc demo

[wanton eagle]

[formal karma]

Neat

[wanton eagle]

Thankg Graig!

[haughty ingot]

no fucking way

[slow bronze]

There's a rumor about Silksong releasing after the COVID2 pandemic is over. The problem is it hasn't started yet.

[wanton eagle]

"COVID2 pandemic"

[formal karma]

We went from covid 19 to 2? Wtf?

[slow bronze]

Yes, I'm following microsofts naming scheme

[formal karma]

I see....

[iron spear]

im just finalising some audio stuff now

I need a good buzzsaw sound effect...

[slow bronze]

I also heard that Silksong cannot release while there's still ice in Antarctica

[young saffron]

im geniunely going to cry if theres another pandemic

[slow bronze]

Half the world has to be under water, it's the rules

[formal karma]

My pandemic was great. The Altlantic Bubble left me largely unchanged until some dipshits went to Montreal and we had a huge outbreak

[haughty ingot]

lil early but congrats on the demo graig, i'll back the shit out of the kickstarter

[formal karma]

Pandemic also improved my shopping experiences- I miss that aspect

[dense marsh]

It’s very likely in our life time that there will be. Animal agriculture is a cess pit of diseases waiting to happen

[young saffron]

well my "school" life is mostly over so another pandemic wouldnt hit so hard

[silver oak]

We’ll be gaming soon…….

[opaque sigil]

[cerulean sable]

can roc beat a 160 of these guys tho 😤

[chilly nexus]

tbh ss fans are chill compared to pop fans

katy perry changed her profile photo only 3 weeks ago and ppl are already hacking into and leaking her stuff cuz they're angry with the wait 💀

[cerulean sable]

tbf the larger your fandom is the more unhinged people has access to other unhinged people

at a certain point if you had 1 obsesses guy every 100, at around 1,000,000 thats around 10000 already

[opaque sigil]

If people knew how to hack into tc’s shit they’d be doing it too

[cerulean sable]

give em a platform to speak of and its easy to fill he forums with crazies

[slow bronze]

Hollow Knight fans are law abiding citizens. Don't compare us to those filthy tarnished

[opaque sigil]

People have literally showed up at their office more than once

[heady iron]

Yeah w-well maybe they should more security!

[cerulean sable]

nah man its

[opaque sigil]

I mean yeah maybe they should

[cerulean sable]

"well we wouldnt act like that if only they did-"

[silver oak]

There’s a good chance that

[opaque sigil]

That…?

[silver oak]

I’m wondering if they ever

[heady iron]

If they didn't want to be so popular, them why'd they make such a popular game?

Checkmate liberals

[strange night]

If they

Then why'd they

[frosty light]

ever 😳

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/team-fortress-soldier-gif-19640066

hey dude

[cunning geode]

the flying aussie

[serene chasm]

You mean to tell my TC isnt working weekends and holidays, 16 hours a day. No wonder SS is taking forever

[onyx dawn]

What the hell is that laugh

[cerulean sable]

the dying aussie 😎

[cunning geode]

i played some of this recently (bots and cheaters etc) and got some sick headshots so that was fun

[sage void]

tea time 🥹

[grand ferry]

FUCK SNIPERS

[onyx dawn]

Have not played any shooter in a month

[cunning geode]

you'd understand if you played tf2

[onyx dawn]

I do play tf2

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-engineer-how-much-engineer-tf2-gif-24275358

[onyx dawn]

But I have never heard a laugh like that

Which is why I asked

[grand ferry]

how do we have 300k petition

[pulsar sleet]

Xbox 2 years ago or Sony 1 year 10 months ago if the PS4/5 announcement counts.

[onyx dawn]

Uhhhhhhhhh
600 or so hours

[cunning geode]

i fucking love doomposting

its getting me to stop thats the problem

[cunning geode]

oh my god youre a little baby!!!

[onyx dawn]

Ikr

Half the playtime is being stuck on loading screens

[cunning geode]

damn 😔

[jade canopy]

Should I pick up tf2 again hmm
Im kindof in a deep rock arc right now tbh, but I do miss gardening (im trash at it but it is still very fun)

[onyx dawn]

Because I played it a lot on my potato computer and it takes like 10 minutes to load in a server and then 5 more minutes of a lot of lag back in the day

[cunning geode]

if you do probably play community servers rn

[brittle garnet]

People like this who think others are responsible for their own actions infuriate me

[jade canopy]

But uncletopia people are not as bad which makes gardening quite hard

[cunning geode]

i say this out of love of course

[onyx dawn]

I don't play much shooters anymore
And by much I mean tf2 and garden warfare 2 because they're the only shooters I play

[cunning geode]

i know, i know

[grand ferry]

can i even get into uncletopia servers

[onyx dawn]

I tried Valorant and it's meh

[pulsar sleet]

Happy "Out in 12 Months" anniversary btw

[cunning geode]

BTSX EPISODE 3 for DOOM 2 OUT IN 12 MONTHS?????

[brittle garnet]

who cares about silksong DEEP ROCK GALACTIC SEASON 5 TOMORROW WOOOOOO

[cunning geode]

ohhhh you think i meant the lame kind of doomposting 👹

[jade canopy]

From what I could remember casual was never that atrocious, like you may have to try a couple servers but you end up with good matches

[onyx dawn]

Like why do you need to stand still in order to shoot accurately

[cerulean sable]

fuck DRG

[cunning geode]

casuals servers rn are a real gamble

i might recommend this to my friend actually

thanks

[onyx dawn]

Don't play shooters and play Don't starev actualky

[lapis oyster]

Look at these clowns lmao imagine posting regular updates for your upcoming game 🤡🤡🤡

[cunning geode]

pretty cool

[onyx dawn]

Rip crown

I hope his suffering when drowning was brief

[cerulean sable]

ok well quasimorph is about you sending cloned mercenaries to moons to extract stuff, drg is sending dwarfs to planets to mine stuff

[grand ferry]

peak engineering

[cerulean sable]

thats kinda similar

[cunning geode]

you could play some of the classics, as a treat? 👹

[onyx dawn]

Like?

[cunning geode]

uhm uhm uhm

[onyx dawn]

[cunning geode]

https://youtu.be/CqjkbA1AloI

[onyx dawn]

Don't worry I getcha

I'll hope on tf2 and use the classic next time

[cunning geode]

thats perfect

[frosty light]

theres four...

[heady iron]

I wonder if leth is the one posting crowsworn updates

[rotund ridge]

we need a hero to step up and bait us into coping

i dont care if it isnt real

[frosty light]

oh i thought it said clown

[cunning geode]

is that heroic or foolish

[frosty light]

and they were insulting the statues

[strange night]

Nintendo direct Tuesday

I have a credible source

[rotund ridge]

no chance lmao

[ripe spoke]

this game wll be peak, look at all that different details on each statue head

[rotund ridge]

i need leth himself to bait me now

[strange night]

You said it doesn't have to be real

[rotund ridge]

i need a leth or something to drop some bait. or nintendo, im being fr LOL

it would make me happy to have another few days of copium

im an addict im afraid

[cunning geode]

that aint healthy

[lament coyote]

proof

among us "leak" is not a credible source

[rotund ridge]

im starting to believe the people that say that the news will be on TCs youtube or blogpost and not at an event

[cunning geode]

damn i love monster hunter though im kinda more excited for monster hunter wilds than silksong atm

[lament coyote]

it's the most likely outcome

[cunning geode]

not to say i dont want silksong though but damn ive been on that MH mood

[rotund ridge]

i was always someone who thought "directly from team cherry could mean them speaking in an event" but yeah im starting to lose hope for that

[cunning geode]

i love how much care they put into the monster designs

marsupial...

[lament coyote]

i'm kinda both of these two

[rotund ridge]

i'm one of the 1% of actually batshit r/silksong members who thinks about silksong all day

the agony is terrible

[cunning geode]

well you admit it and thats the first step to recovery

[rotund ridge]

i refuse to recover, once i get skong itll be fine

[lament coyote]

i mean the kickstarter activity is weird and also yippee 2 year trailer anniversary, shruely it should be out soon

[rotund ridge]

i wont let my cope die out

i also kinda doubt the kickstarter activity means anything tbh

i'm starting to lose faith that there will be any kind of buildup

just one random day TC will drop a release date on their blog or something, completely blindsiding us

[cunning geode]

damn, in my head i sound like a broken record but i more associate this with the death of my cat two years ago. it coincided almost perfectly with the last trailer 😔

[rotund ridge]

i need primacon to step up, he's my champion rn

[cunning geode]

thats so beautiful

[rotund ridge]

he gives me cope in places i thought id never find it

[wary storm]

silksong in 20 days (day 2)

[rotund ridge]

this is how i feel fr

[lament coyote]

nah

it for sure means something, just unclear what exactly

[rotund ridge]

i mean what could it even mean

[modest night]

Hey guys how is it going

[lapis oyster]

If we get absolutely nothing this June, the game is officially abandonware

[rotund ridge]

coping

[modest night]

I see

[wooden schooner]

Nintendo direct tomorrow I hope

[lament coyote]

most likely reaching out to backers

[modest night]

What are you doing today besides that

[cunning geode]

heya sonia

[rotund ridge]

they would've spoken up

[modest night]

Hiiii, did you watch a movie with Haley yesterday?

[cunning geode]

mulbs says hi

[lament coyote]

who? backers? not sure about that

[cunning geode]

no movie but we watched stuff

[modest night]

Mulbs?

[rotund ridge]

they 100% would have lmao

[cunning geode]

mulberry my cat

[modest night]

Ohhh

[rotund ridge]

no chance every single one of them would stay silent when they have the power to create mass hysteria

[lament coyote]

what backers know is basically a private information

[cunning geode]

now my fucked up sleeping schedule is, ironically after having very little sleep, getting back to normal

[modest night]

Guys its over you all should move on a bit

[cunning geode]

they cannot not even when i show monster hunter pouch

[lapis oyster]

But they dont sign an NDA or anything, they can say whatever they want

[modest night]

I'm gonna have to slowly fix mine until I can go to bed at 10 pm..

[rotund ridge]

i mean not really lol, anything tc tells them they have the right to share, its not like theyre under an nda

[cunning geode]

yeahhh especially with jet lag

[lament coyote]

but what if they did sign an nda?

you can't know for sure

[modest night]

Man the more I talk about it the more I feel like I'm making up that situation it's crazy

[lapis oyster]

Wish I was on the same levels of cope as well

[cunning geode]

it is crazy in a cool way

[modest night]

Anyway why are you all making stuff up in the background about backers

[onyx dawn]

The lore reason behind the kickstarter logins:
"Hey Ari did you log out of the kickstarter after the time we logged in a few days ago?"
"Hmm idk lemme check"
-logs in
"Ok yeah I did log out last time 👍"
"Cool 👍"

[rotund ridge]

plus the backers are the earliest and some of the most loyal HK fans who likely are aware of the state of the community, surely ONE of them would be like "GUYS SILKSONG NEWS!!"

[lament coyote]

it's not cope it's reasoning

[rotund ridge]

yeah this is basically what i think. theyre signing in for inane reasons

[lament coyote]

it would be peak hell of a comedy

[modest night]

I had to change glasses because I fucked up my old ones so I'll look slightly different btw

[cunning geode]

irrevocably changed

[modest night]

Mhm it was tragic honestly I'm still getting used to it

[cunning geode]

what happened to the old pair

[rotund ridge]

i mean is there legitimately anything else to cope about

[modest night]

I accidentally pressed them against a wall, alongside my whole body
They're kinda weird and twisted now

[rotund ridge]

besides hoping for a random release drop on twitter or something

[modest night]

Idk man maybe you can do other things

[rotund ridge]

yea i mean i do

[modest night]

You should tell us about them

[rotund ridge]

i just like coping about silksong

[cunning geode]

we know that

[rotund ridge]

this is the silksong discussion channel not the talk about gorflops hobbies channel

[modest night]

It serves as an off-topic channel until the game is out typically

You can talk about whatever

[coarse leaf]

yeah like actually good games

[onyx dawn]

Whatever is a pretty decent word
I use it out the time or whatever

[rotund ridge]

sure but if i want to cope about silksong then where better to go than the silksong discussion channel lmao

[inland ravine]

sup everyone

[onyx dawn]

It's definitely better than whenever which is much more situational

[coarse leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-cat-eating-burger-gif-27559411

[strange night]

What if team cherry actually died in a horrific accident and were replaced by clones that don't know how to code

[onyx dawn]

Whoever is ok and keyboard just notified me of the existence of whomever

[cunning geode]

GET that cat away from the burger!

[onyx dawn]

Chat who the hell uses whomever

[cunning geode]

me

[lament coyote]

yeah well clones wouldn't know kickstarter password

[rotund ridge]

you are logistically correct

[strange night]

It was written down on a post-it in the office obviously

[modest night]

Are you guys gonna do cool shit this week

[strange night]

Nah

[onyx dawn]

Wowie

[strange night]

Today grades close for the school year so I'm just locking tf in

[rotund ridge]

what if they coded the entirety of the game on pen and paper and its taking so long because now they have to transfer it to digital

[lament coyote]

yeah and at night someone just fucking snuck in the office to steal it

[strange night]

Then tomorrow I still have to show up to school even though there's no grades

[strange night]

That's reasonable I think

What if a kangaroo got into the office?

[lapis oyster]

Yea, gotta repair the dishwasher and change the bike tire, exciting stuff

[rotund ridge]

i think its the most logical theory no?

[rotund ridge]

also likely

[modest night]

That's rad honestly

Good luck

[strange night]

I think kangaroo theory is a close second, coding it on paper is the running theory rn though

[rotund ridge]

gonna cope about silksong probably

[inland ravine]

[modest night]

You should go outside and study bugs out there as a way to cope

[cunning geode]

bugs!!

[strange night]

You should play yokai watch tbh

[slate wagon]

what if they jump on me

[rotund ridge]

this is a good idea but i am unfortunately deathly allergic to touching grass

[modest night]

Let them eat you

[cunning geode]

hmm

[rotund ridge]

damn i got sniped

im trying my best to play elden ring rn

i cant do more than an hour at a time

the atmosphere of fromsoftware games just really doesnt appeal to me for some reason as cool as the games are

[cunning geode]

thats a shame but aye nothing wrong with playing games in short intervals of course

[modest night]

Yeah you don't need to force yourself to play it in the first place if you don't like it

[rotund ridge]

i love the combat so im getting there

no i really like certain aspects of it

and i have nothing else to play rn, im super picky about games

[cunning geode]

interesting that you like the combat but not the atmosphere, so far ive heard a lot of the opposite from people

[modest night]

Damn fucked up hopefully you find a game with just those aspects

[lapis oyster]

You tried nine sols?

[rotund ridge]

nah and honestly im not gonna LOL

[modest night]

What about furi it's like all combat

[lapis oyster]

Okay, but you're missing out big time

[buoyant pumice]

we are simply putty in the hands of the media, clowns who’s performances are distributed to the masses for a cheap buck

we truly are fools

[rotund ridge]

for me with games, like once every few months or so i see like a screenshot from one and it clicks with me and im like "yep" and then i 100% it

[slate wagon]

just go full mage and boom atmospheric game with easy combat

[rotund ridge]

otherwise i can just tell if i wont like a game at a glance

[rotund ridge]

i tried that and hated it tbh im doing a dex build now and its so much more fun

[buoyant pumice]

you ever try monster hunter?

[wary dawn]

It’s ss out yet

[chilly nexus]

I went dex int combo yeah, was super fun

[cunning geode]

yeah you see the problem is most people arent gonna just know what to do to make the game easy

[rotund ridge]

not my kind of game ngl

[slate wagon]

what weapon you using?

[slate wagon]

fair

[rotund ridge]

on this file im only an hour in so still the starting katana

[rotund ridge]

yeah you didnt hear?

[chilly nexus]

ah

[modest night]

They should optimize elden ring better so I can play it

[cunning geode]

like, it takes knowledge (sometimes research) and foresight to really make souls games "easy"

[chilly nexus]

if you want a true easy mode

run to ||caelith and grab the meteorite staff and spell||

it's just sitting in the open

[buoyant pumice]

dude i’m so excited for Shadow of the Erdtree (me and my silly little bloodhounds fang are gonna get fucking stomped)

[chilly nexus]

super long range spell, cheap, low reqs, high damage, and can stun

[cunning geode]

PS1 styled Elden Ring would be pretty gnarly

[inland ravine]

dr

[cunning geode]

https://youtu.be/kxlams-k78c

[rotund ridge]

elden ring is definitely not my usual type of game tho i play almost exclusively 2d games

[slate wagon]

can’t wait for my martial art weapons

[modest night]

I think bunliths game released btw but had to rebrand away from the bloodborne stuff

[buoyant pumice]

i’m sorry my brain saw the thumbnail and immediately thought it was ultrakill

[cunning geode]

yeah its out now

[cunning geode]

youre a lost cause

and the soundtrack for nightmare kart is out too its pretty sick

[modest night]

I haven't looked into it..

[cunning geode]

ive heard a little

[buoyant pumice]

oh yeah i’m so excited to try everything new

make sure you’ve beaten mohg tho (i accidentally beat him first try by just going full unga bunga with my bloodhounds fang)

[rotund ridge]

i hope silksong is like 200 hours at this point it would be so hype, i know its definitely not but i cant help dreaming of a MASSIVE world for it

[buoyant pumice]

any game is 200 hours long if you’re bad enough 😎

[cunning geode]

https://youtu.be/kKb5WcJXt_w mmm this one sounds nice

[rotund ridge]

TRUE

[ripe spoke]

according to steam, only 37% players had beat him

[frosty light]

playtesters cant continue until they defeat two kangaroos in real life without getting hit to make sure theyre qualified...

[modest night]

I was very slow in my first hk 112% playthrough but like, it was one of my first games and I know how to play games now so I wonder if it'll take me less time to play silksong

If it releases at all sigh...

[slate wagon]

i’m going into it with my completed save black knife build
it’s not the strongest but damn is it fun

[buoyant pumice]

dude i beat mohg first try, rode that high to the haligtree, and then proceeded to get my shit stomped by Malenia for a week

[frosty light]

unfortunately the kangaroo wait times are rng. thats the worst part i assume

[sage glade]

what do they mean "are in a bad way"

[buoyant pumice]

insane.

[rotund ridge]

maybe team cherry still has covid

[cunning geode]

..."still?"

[modest night]

Is this a remix of a bloodborne song? Because i feel like I've heard the melody before

[sage glade]

covid localized entirely within tc's office

[sage glade]

yes it's bloodborne kart fangame

[cunning geode]

oh theres surely some bloodborne tune in here and yes Sonia knows that

[modest night]

Didn't know they could use remixes and sell it tbh

[cunning geode]

laws idk

[buoyant pumice]

dude I need to get my hands on a ps4 so i can play bloodborne

[frosty light]

we're in a bad way, chat...

[patent heath]

Hi ShandowNotShadow.

[sage glade]

does sony still sell bloodborne?

[cunning geode]

ye

[sage glade]

damn

[rotund ridge]

the obsession is stressful

[heady iron]

Maybe consult a physician

[rotund ridge]

only doctor i need is doctor ari gibson

[frosty light]

woah its so different now

[manic abyss]

maybe go play something else

[rotund ridge]

i do play other thing

things* but i wanna play silksong

[frosty light]

it has the skeleton of marias theme but it was mutated

[modest night]

Sometimes you can't always do what you want to do

[frosty light]

originally it was actually just marias theme

[modest night]

Is it like modified enough to be legally sold now?

[rotund ridge]

well eventually ill be able to, unless TC like dies or something

[frosty light]

well i havent compared it but sure feels like it?

at first i was wondering about the same thing but in a little bit i was like "...what?"

[buoyant pumice]

ps4 emulators when

[frosty light]

hello

[rotund ridge]

has anyone seen the sopranos

[modest night]

Oh yeah lmfao I skipped ahead and I see

I haven't sorry man

[rotund ridge]

i just started season 5

[sage glade]

no idea, devs sleeping

[buoyant pumice]

your username makes me think i’d receive a scam email from you about a nigerian prince

[rotund ridge]

its super trippy i used to live around the same area as them

[frosty light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivAdfxG31jA

[modest night]

You should tell them hi

[rotund ridge]

i feel like ive received a text from you about a ups package not being delivered

oops wrong guy i means the xxlord guy

[frosty light]

the og (well obviously not as in "the song that played in bloodborne ))

[rotund ridge]

meant*

[buoyant pumice]

no im actually currently eating a cardboard box with the label gorflop on it

[frosty light]

well? when are you giving me the money??

[modest night]

The way they credit Yuka Kitamura lmao that's kinda cute

[rotund ridge]

[patent heath]

Hello hi.

[modest night]

they have tiny eggs but theyre good

[hazy summit]

[sage void]

[modest night]

Quail eggs are traditionally eaten for winter holidays like Christmas and new years here

[sage void]

[hazy summit]

Oh i see i see

[hazy summit]

He looks round

[sage void]

Yes yes

Well

I'm going now

[chilly nexus]

quail is to turkey as chipmunk is to squirrel

[sage void]

kk bye

[modest night]

Quail eggs are basically just like chicken eggs but miniaturized it's the same taste btw

[sage void]

i cant remember when i had one but im pretty sure ive had one

[heady iron]

I like that they're bite sized

[versed pollen]

You know who else is bite sized

[cunning geode]

(im raioactive) radioactive

thats not an imagine dragons song but ok\

[cunning geode]

no i was gonna say "one must imagine bird chicks like the way their yolks taste when theyre still in the egg" but they dont eat it with their mouth so they wouldnt taste it

[cerulean sable]

im not purely hollow, after all
im not purely hollow, after all

[unborn hamlet]

see im waiting for silksong and doctor who

[cerulean sable]

syncrhoize your ratio watches

[unborn hamlet]

doctor who comes faster but the wait between sesons

[cerulean sable]

silksong will be in TGA

our song has to silk

[modest night]

This is me as I am French just like him

[cunning geode]

favorite Doctor?

[cerulean sable]

i know what you idiots are thinking "but they already said news is coming diretly from them"

exactly

[formal karma]

I admire your spirit...

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/tf2-spy-spy-tf2-gif-19183909

[cerulean sable]

theyll paraglide right into TGA and fire gas cannisters containing insect morphing fumes to create their army of intellectual super bugs

[formal karma]

I myself think it could be next week directly from TC

[cerulean sable]

in otherwords, you want silksong? its coming to you directly, in real life

[wary storm]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/586931790208434203/1078790563328962690/ohthemisery.gif

[formal karma]

Not for any reason. But it's exactly as likely as event news

[modest night]

I think sgf 2025

[cerulean sable]

is this gif dungeon meshi

[opaque sigil]

the new season is going on rn isn't it? haven't gotten around to watching it yet but I think it's there

[modest night]

The small one? Arcane

[formal karma]

2 years after the supposed 1 year window would be...... impressive to say the least.

[ionic arch]

every gif is Dungeon Meshi if you believe

[cerulean sable]

i believe\

nah i think sonias wrng here

sorry sonia, sometimes the truth is what you want it to be

[modest night]

I think it's over ttacco

[cerulean sable]

and i say its dungeon meshi

[modest night]

No silksong 2024

[dusty nimbus]

https://tenor.com/view/senshi-delicious-in-dungeon-senshi-delicious-in-dungeon-dungeon-meshi-senshi-dungeon-gif-8850282236598027295

[sinful flare]

thats arcane

[cerulean sable]

say that to my face

[opaque sigil]

I mean that would depend on a lot of behind the scenes stuff we don't know

[cerulean sable]

and not online

and well see what happens

[modest night]

Ok who's paying for the plane tickets

[cunning geode]

honestly i think 2024 is possible still

[opaque sigil]

internal dates often have very low levels of confidence, if it was never intended by tc to be public in any capacity anything goes

[formal karma]

Anything is possible when your science has no known variables

[cerulean sable]

i mean tbf i will keep pushing "late 202x" everytime and ill still believe it

cuz i am a bored person

[ionic arch]

September is such a good month...

[opaque sigil]

I mean earlier graig said an internal date for HK was missed by like 2 years so

[modest night]

Mhm it has my birthday

[opaque sigil]

wouldn't even be unprecedented

[ionic arch]

shit same!

[modest night]

But it would suck so hard if sillsong released when uni starts

[ionic arch]

ahhh yeah

[sinful flare]

what does 30% ·-ı==|==> mean

[cunning geode]

its so game dev classes have something to study

[opaque sigil]

I assume it's armor penetration or something

[modest night]

You get 30% of a sword

[ionic arch]

A 30% weird sword??

[sinful flare]

oh cool

[ionic arch]

thirty swordcent

[hollow terrace]

[ionic arch]

•-|===> vs. <===|-•

[cerulean sable]

30% of the damage goes directly through armor

in BB armor works like extra health, but some weapons allows you "slip in" the damage into the armor instead

[cunning geode]

hey window

[deep laurel]

if it says adjacent it must be grid based right?

[sinful flare]

government wants you to find the difference between these two pictures

[opaque sigil]

sounds boring just break the armor smh

[cerulean sable]

it just means you have less hit chance if someone is directly next to your mercenary

[ionic arch]

my next game, ASCII SWORD—

[grand ferry]

are u professional backstabber

[modest night]

Sure

[cerulean sable]

polearms in the game ahve 2 tile range so they essentially have a 1 tile range hit chance reduction

[scenic idol]

I come in here like once a month to see if there’s any progress and I’m losing hope

[summer bluff]

I have come to discuss silksong (politics)

[ionic arch]

try jousting

[cunning geode]

different greater than/lesser than symbols

[ionic arch]

you can tell who won if you read it like math

[opaque sigil]

can you also carry a sword or something as a sidearm

[cerulean sable]

tbf thats why you play around specializing your bros, that also means certain fights will be difficulty if youre comps are prepared for it

swords will fucking murder lightly armored stuff like beasts or goblins but if youre fighting against heavier stuff like "not roman™️" skeletons and/or orcs, you have to play "how many licks hits does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll an orc" so you carry hammers and maces

[ionic arch]

so wait if I joust I guess and Sonia backstabs

oh shit is ss-discussion getting RPG classes?

[cunning geode]

no because theyre both pointing towards eachother silly

[cerulean sable]

yeah, you can carry 2 different weapons (4 with the perk Large Pouch) at the cost of your maximum FATIGUE taking a hit, and you can remove the swap penalty with another perk (Quick Hands)

if youre gonna build hybrids, these are essential perks. Especially for double Handgonners, aka load Handgonne 1, swap to Handgonne 2, reload it, wait next turn, then shoot swap shoot watch as you bro shotguns the nobility

[modest night]

what rpg class would I be

[opaque sigil]

fun

[cerulean sable]

or you can carry 4 javelins wtv works i guess

[cunning geode]

depends what rpg we're talkin

[opaque sigil]

can you go full ac4 and have 4 pistols

[ionic arch]

sword A's tip states sword A is greater than what's to the right (sword B)

sword B's tip states that sword B is less than what's to the left (sword A)

but these matters are not so simple, and when it comes to individuals, we throw out the odds

en garde!

[cunning geode]

sword b's tip states that sword B is GREATER than whats to the left

[cerulean sable]

you "can" but like theres not a lot of point, because the AP cost in this game for everyone is always 9 AP cost (the entire game is balanced/designed around it) with your actions accumulating fatigue

[fringe violet]

battle brothers grahh

[opaque sigil]

I should really just play battle brothers but I can also play fe10 again

[ionic arch]

rogue (french)

i actually don't know much about RPG classes tbh but I like making shit up

[cerulean sable]

thats why double handgonnes and any more than that isnt really gonna work

[ionic arch]

but I can do that in real life : - (

[fringe violet]

I understand replaying comfort games but genuinely give it a try

[opaque sigil]

fe10 isn't a comfort game it's actually pretty hard

[cerulean sable]

if you can take the frustration of RNG giveth and taketh then imo its super fun and you can turn hobos into death machines

[fringe violet]

some people find comfort in a challenge

[cerulean sable]

just play phoenix mode 🤓 /s

[modest night]

I've never played an rpg really i think

[opaque sigil]

does it do 1rn

[modest night]

Like except idk DE

[ionic arch]

see same problem

[dense marsh]

I have an idea for an ally character in Hollow Knight/SS.

The Lone Dungslinger. A wandering bug with a poncho who uses gun like weapons.

[cerulean sable]

yeah only straight out mersenes algo or something like that

they even point it out on the FAQ

[cunning geode]

does darkest dungeon kinda count?

[ionic arch]

I mean I "technically" have but I like. don't think in the terminology

[cunning geode]

ehh maybe not darkest dungeon

RPG is pretty broad though technically

[ionic arch]

lmao speaking of DE I actually did a month-long thread on famiboards with like... DE-style stat checks and cutscenes that happened based on player actions

as a general discussion thread twist

prizes and everything

got pretty weird

[cunning geode]

i feel stupid which game is DE

[fringe violet]

I don't like the technicality. doesn't sit right with me that all games in which you can roleplay = an rpg

[modest night]

Disco elysium

[cunning geode]

i didnt even say that but i know what you mean

[ionic arch]

Disco Elysi— yeah

[opaque sigil]

rpg is too ill defined to really be that useful you have to use subgenres to say anything meaningful

[ionic arch]

true

[modest night]

Chat they took my blood yesterday and I got a bruise :(

[fringe violet]

well I took broad as in you meant that taking the 'role-playing game' literally

[cunning geode]

its all over

[fringe violet]

because I see the terms "rpg elements" being thrown around. what in the hell are those even

[ionic arch]

RIP, that's always a bonus oof

[ionic arch]

fire. water maybe

[cunning geode]

gameplay mechanics attributed to RPG games

[ionic arch]

grass even

[fringe violet]

maybe even air

[opaque sigil]

could mean dialogue options, equipment customization, a progression system, elements, any number of things

[fringe violet]

equipment customization
i think it's mostly they mean this

[ionic arch]

oh sure, throw "air" around. see what happens!!

[opaque sigil]

often yeah

[ionic arch]

my game has rpg elements and you know what? you're right. i don't even know what that means

[opaque sigil]

which are an element of rpgs it's just so nonspecific that it's bizarre marketing

[cerulean sable]

Sonia if yo uwant an RPG you should play new vegas

[cunning geode]

Karl Jobst made a fun vid recently discussing what the original doom's genre would have been when it came out because First Person Shooter wasnt a term until after Doom and additionally after Doomclone was the genre name

[cerulean sable]

oh wait i was gonna mention Patho 2 but you already did

did you ever try Prey

afaik you hated it

[cunning geode]

his half joke half serious answer was "Action RPG"

[cerulean sable]

i think Doom should add % hit chance

[fringe violet]

technically every first-person game is an rpg since you immerse yourself in the character

[cunning geode]

oh you think it doesnt have hit chance? 👹

[cerulean sable]

trRUE

[cunning geode]

no. he means in gameplay

take out the literal meaning of the words "roleplaying game"

doom plays like a first person action rpg from the 90s

[ionic arch]

I was gonna joke about not being allowed to give blood but uhhhhh shockingly last year they apparently finally said "gay people are no longer automatically disqualified"

[cunning geode]

in level design, resource management, secret hunting, etc

[fringe violet]

huge confusion

[opaque sigil]

Took a while huh

[ionic arch]

lil bit, yeah

[cunning geode]

its why theres basically no new shooters being made that feel like the original doom because theyre literally of an entirely different era (unless you're like making a purposeful homage)

[ionic arch]

they still stipulate that "most gay activity and behavior disqualifies you" which is LMAOOOOO but wow. yeah. shocking

[cerulean sable]

tons in the indie scene tho

have you tried Selaco

tho its more like FEAR afaik

[modest night]

I should but my brain won't let me

[cunning geode]

[opaque sigil]

Yikes

Ok but why change the policy at all if they’re still going to be overtly discriminatory

[cunning geode]

ive had it wishlisted for a while and yes, its more like Fear

[smoky nebula]

Guys silksong appeared before me in a dream

[cunning geode]

like i said its mostly games literally in a doom engine like gzdoom games that play like doom for obvious fucking reasons

[fringe violet]

play Darkwood, it takes place in my hometown

[cerulean sable]

there should be more Darkwood likes

[cunning geode]

its why ive repetitively declared ultrakill doesnt play like doom at all its more like eternal

darkwood is sick af

[modest night]

Oh it wasn't donate it just to get tests done but yeah our laws about that changed very recently too, I think until 2 years ago you had to not have had gay sex for a certain amount of time to be able to donate blood

[ionic arch]

for fun I guess?

[mortal grove]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-steam-steamhappy-gif-11912067498964962572

[modest night]

I still can't get scared by it .....sigh

[cunning geode]

the gay sex makes your blood sooooo dirty it kills the doctors!!!

[mortal grove]

Hello everybody

[mortal grove]

was this an actual thing

[cunning geode]

cursed to love horror but not be scared by it

[ionic arch]

oh no

blood's gay

got gay blood, oh noooo

[wise timber]

Spanish or english?

[opaque sigil]

Yeah

[ionic arch]

oh my god yes

and still effectively is

they test all the blood regardless but still hold onto AIDS-era homophobia

even after it became clear and evident that the reach was well beyond the "gay sphere"

because hey. if they can blame a marginalized group for a disease and leverage that... they will

[cunning geode]

yeah :(

[rotund dew]

😦

[ionic arch]

do you wanna know where all the old gays went? they fucking killed us. Reagan and other shitheels buried the issue as a "gay problem" and thought it was our divine retribution

they wanted us to fucking perish

[wanton eagle]

[ionic arch]

lo and behold, diseases are diseases and spread like diseases

read up on ACT UP — that shit's the same as why me and my partner, who are chronically ill, are still fighting for any COVID protections we can get

[cunning geode]

just one of hundreds of examples that make me so pissed when ive seen people (IN THIS SERVER) during pride month be like "yeah but like ive seen more hatred from gay people towards straight people why dont we have a straight pride month too"

[ionic arch]

EUGH

[cunning geode]

godspeed to you two

[ionic arch]

okay yeah don't uh. don't let me in the server if those takes show up.

it will strain my entire being to be kind

[rotund dew]

Hey im Muslim and even though i don’t support lgbtq im not Like BURN THEM TO THE GROUND

[cunning geode]

well thats a good start

[opaque sigil]

you don't have to be those people get banned anyways

[ionic arch]

i mean

relatively

I'm aware I'm exceptionally harsh in general maybe

i think the clinical term is "hater"

[cunning geode]

how about "revolutionary"

[opaque sigil]

I believe it has been reclassified to 'opp'

[ionic arch]

I certainly hope not, that's either Ontario Provincial Police or the pop-rap hit in my head

[wooden schooner]

Ye so the "homo plague" was just a survivor syndrom type shut huh

[opaque sigil]

no it was homophobia

[wooden schooner]

Ye catalyzed by homophobia

[manic abyss]

fr I'm hungry too

[ionic arch]

like AIDS was absolutely awful as a disease, progressing out of HIV

but the establishment wanted it so bad to be our problem that they prevented treatment and didn't fund it and acted like it wasn't real for as long as possible

we lost so many people in such a horrible way

[cunning geode]

i love our institutions pretending deadly contagious diseases arent happening

[ionic arch]

there's some concern that COVID is a seed for worse shit down the line like HIV was

it's mechanically a bit different but some of the organ damage and receptor damage is not dissimilar...

[half lintel]

When skong . . .

[wooden schooner]

That's the thing, did they want to put the blame on us first or did they use us as scapegoats to not invest in actual healthcare

Maybe a two birds one stone kind of thing

[ionic arch]

both

two birds stoned at once

[wooden schooner]

I hate the USA

[ionic arch]

but they funded other healthcare projects

A few months ago there was a really bad flu outbreak in Pakistan
symptoms were really bad fevers and shit, every household caught it, it was incredibly viral too, some people have even reported permenant damage to their taste
doctors did say that it was related in some way to covid although it got cleared up in a month's time fast

[stark prism]

where the fuck is the news

[ionic arch]

at the time

AIDS was just a perfect "no, fuck 'em, gay problem and what they deserve" from them

anyone here remember Roy Cohn lmao

[cunning geode]

damn that sucks

[wooden schooner]

I'm french and 23 so I don't

I could also be 23 french people in a trenchcoat

[cunning geode]

disease has often been used as a "well the universe/god wanted them to die so its not our problem" kinda thing

[wooden schooner]

In other news I will play dead by daylight now

[stark prism]

sounds identical to how i done expierienced the covoid shit

[cunning geode]

will you be da killer or da survivor

[wooden schooner]

Killer I need some legally possible relief

To unwind after a long week you know

[manic abyss]

That implies each french is 1 year old

[opaque sigil]

And that sort of sentiment is very much alive and well

[ionic arch]

yeeeeep

love all the eugenicist rhetoric really amping up over chronically ill people telling everyone else that COVID is still just as real as it was and that you don't want the damage it leaves behind!!

[opaque sigil]

sadly it's going to be a while before we really understand long covid

[wooden schooner]

Suswave are you a veteran

[ionic arch]

yuuup

[ionic arch]

fuck no I hate the military

[wooden schooner]

Like a gayteran, even

[grand ferry]

hello french im very much looking forward to the shitshow with popcorn

[wooden schooner]

No I mean an older lgbt+ people

[ionic arch]

I'm a cranky thirty-something queer, yeah

[wooden schooner]

Oh thx

[ionic arch]

I probably talk like I'm sixty

[wooden schooner]

Which one

[cunning geode]

no you sound your age

[wooden schooner]

Yes you do lmao

[ionic arch]

lmao that tracks

[cunning geode]

ive encountered some major outliers in "sounding their age" online but yeah

most people you just dont know so it doesnt matter

[ionic arch]

my "fellow millennials" tend to get alienated by me regardless because I uh think they're mostly cringe and I'm in the uh, god knows what mishmash of linguistic linguini blasted at the wall camp

[ionic arch]

that's half the fun

amazing what language does

[grand ferry]

theres more than one?

[wooden schooner]

You don't know France do ya

The president just dissolved the parliament

[ionic arch]

french france or like the other france

[wooden schooner]

French France, where there is Paris

Not Québec

[ionic arch]

lmao Québec wishes it were France

[burnt topaz]

quebec wishes it was independent

[ionic arch]

I mean like

you know

Secret France

[opaque sigil]

that sounds... questionably legal

[fiery burrow]

the best kind of legal

[modest night]

No it's fully within his right as president it just really sucks because most of the people who are gonna get re-elected will be far right

[opaque sigil]

shrue

[elfin reef]

If that’s actually true then it’s on them for not having more checks and balances lmao

[ionic arch]

yeah that's uh. that's a parliament thing

it's just a hell of a thing to pull at certain points of the tide

[opaque sigil]

well kinda

[graceful summit]

How will the dissolution of parliament affect silksongs release

[opaque sigil]

but it's not like a system of checks and balances can be airtight anyways

[ionic arch]

fewer owls

[modest night]

Silksong canceled...

[opaque sigil]

you can make shenanigans harder but you can't really have a totally secure system

[ionic arch]

this is a pretty wild take from just about anywhere in the world right now, lmao

checks and balances sure uh don't seem to be doing the heavy lifting

[grand ferry]

thats the worst outcome

[graceful summit]

day ruined

[opaque sigil]

yeah

[elfin reef]

Regardless, I still believe a power as crucial as the president’s ability to dissolve parliament should not be only held accountable by the honor code

[modest night]

Side note I wonder why English speakers say Canadian French, idk we exclusively refer to it as Quebec here and same for people who live in Quebec afaik

Like québécois and all

[opaque sigil]

depending on the specific consequences of that dissolution I would potentially agree with that, somebody being able to snap their fingers and do something like that is generally not great

[ionic arch]

it's weird tbh

[modest night]

Like, idk, not my place to speak on this because I'm french from France but yeah it always strikes me as odd

[graceful summit]

Bon jore

[strange night]

Bag wet is my favorite type of bread

Crescent is a close second

[ionic arch]

it's sort of this over-reliance on the notion of nations

[elfin reef]

The dissolution of parliament could only ever lead to in imbalance of power within their government. I don’t see how there could be a positive outcome from this

[ionic arch]

it's like... US and UK alike don't give a fuck about Québec, so... someone's "Canadian" but has a french accent? ohoho French Canadian womp womp

[fiery burrow]

what of the imbalance of power goes to a good person EG me

[opaque sigil]

I don't either but I'm not intimately familiar with the workings of the french government

[ionic arch]

"Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner"

[worn lantern]

No news on the 12th of June the rapture is upon us or sum

[modest night]

The parliament can also remove the president afaik its just that typically nobody uses those things really, like it's been a long while since this happened, and also the parliament isn't gone forever they're just gonna be re-elected

[ionic arch]

no rapture

[manic abyss]

soooo turns out Dragonite is harder to draw than I thought

[ionic arch]

this. this is the thing. it's like fucky but it's sort of built into parliamentary systems from either angle

[elfin reef]

Fair. A lot of news is also played up by the media and the true impact of issues such as this are usually exaggerated. Hoping for the best for France

[pulsar sleet]

We were never going to get anything today

[worn lantern]

Ik but I need the cope to live

I be injecting that shi in my veins

[modest night]

Oh it will definitely have an impact tho because right wing parties are on the rise everywhere and people hate the current presidency and his party so they're more likely to vote for them too

Truly puzzling move because we are gonna end up with more far right people in our government after this

[pulsar sleet]

I guess the Direct this month or TGA December but don't get your hopes up

[worn lantern]

That’s why two party systems are dumb asf

[modest night]

We don't have two parties?

[fiery burrow]

What a shame

[grand ferry]

maybe its a high IQ move for the presidential election in 2027

[modest night]

Fr tho lmao

Already giving his seat in advance

[worn lantern]

U are forced to pick between two because of how the voting system works people are forced to pick the lesser evil usually so it turns into a two party system cuz of the system

[ionic arch]

like frankly it's a mixed bag in Canada too, but inside the distinction is more like... nuanced? but only sometimes?

because there are a lot of "french canadians" who aren't only in Québec

I have always leaned towards saying Québécois when relevant because it's simply a much better word

[lament coyote]

what's that again

snapping the sword in half and wielding its parts?

[modest night]

No honestly idk if you're speaking about france but no that's not how it's been feeling really

[lament coyote]

[opaque sigil]

that is how words work

[opaque sigil]

gripping a part of the blade with one hand

[modest night]

Like the left as disorganized as it is still almost made it to the second round last presidential elections

[lament coyote]

technically she already does that then

[wooden schooner]

And now it is organized

[fiery burrow]

Her needle has a hilt I think?

[ionic arch]

but I'm a mess because I hatched in Canada, then lived in the states, then wound up back here

I'm ping pong

[wooden schooner]

Fun fact : the chief of right-wing tried an alliance with the far right

[lament coyote]

idts honestly

[opaque sigil]

it definitely has a handle part

[wooden schooner]

His party said fuck you and now he's barricading in the party's office as we speak

[strange night]

iirc yeah

[lament coyote]

wait fuck hilt not guard

[strange night]

Yeah the hilt is the silly little silk loop

[opaque sigil]

almost nothing in hk has an actual guard

[lament coyote]

english lingo...💀

[strange night]

You put the string in the eye

[fiery burrow]

I want an enemy in SS that moves so fast it makes me jump

[opaque sigil]

the hilt is the handle that's more comparable to a pommel

[strange night]

Oh I forgot what's what lmao

[fiery burrow]

Bonus points if they crawl

[strange night]

Yeah you right

[lament coyote]

the giand dickhead scissors centipede-looking thing?

[strange night]

@lament coyote we both forgot what a hilt is, you're not alone bestie

[opaque sigil]

soul warrior's pinblade actually has a guard and it looks pretty weird because of that

[lament coyote]

well shi-

[ionic arch]

yep

[strange night]

I think we should just get rid of hilts now

[opaque sigil]

like this does not look like a hollow knight weapon

[lament coyote]

infinite silk generator

[fiery burrow]

Its also weirdly colored

Probably because HK doesn't have an actual lighting system and they just had to emulate one

[opaque sigil]

well tbf with a fixed perspective why bother

[onyx dawn]

This guy is using a real life nail

[lament coyote]

soul warrior cared so much about his weapon that he decided to paint in with white aww

[fiery burrow]

For this one specific negligible example

[onyx dawn]

With an extra handle

[ionic arch]

it's uh often better that way tbh

[opaque sigil]

can't believe tc didn't plan for people looking at ripped sprites smh lazy devs

[ionic arch]

it's white because it's charged with soul

[onyx dawn]

Honestly they did it pretty well I think

[ionic arch]

case closed

[onyx dawn]

If it was emulated
..because idk if it is

[stark prism]

looks like one of those fancy toothpicks they give out at restaurants

[ionic arch]

it's literally layering large sprites overtop

[graceful summit]

Is this an OC

[strange night]

Surely

[graceful summit]

Looks pretty cool

[ionic arch]

blending with bloom and a tiny bit of noise

[fiery burrow]

Its emulated by like, having a gradient around TK and stuff instead of a shading system, which does look great.

[ionic arch]

but layered sprites 100%

[opaque sigil]

well the spotlight is probably for visibility moreso

[stark prism]

nah im pretty sure its part of the press kit i swear i seen this somewhere before

[graceful summit]

Wonder what his name is

[fiery burrow]

Well I was more thinking deepnest

[stark prism]

or im just goin insane or something

[frosty light]

woah... soul colored...

[stark prism]

prolly wasp

[frosty light]

fuck

[ionic arch]

layered gradients, layered sprites

I could rebuild it in unity in like a day

that's the whole magic trick. good layering

[opaque sigil]

if it works it works

no reason to make something harder than it needs to be

[ionic arch]

true. and also lighting systems can in fact be worse at providing the look and feel you're actually after

believe me having things default to Unlit in unity made my life so much easier

not that my shit isn't super flat bright colors. but I experimented.

[opaque sigil]

I think there's this idea that "easy=bad" and it's always kind of amusing to see people who use that sentiment

[ionic arch]

I'd argue that people don't actually know what's easy vs. what's hard

layering well isn't easy

[opaque sigil]

well that's also a part of it

[fiery burrow]

easy=boring=bad. I only play Dark Souls

[opaque sigil]

but star that's easy boring and bad

[fiery burrow]

Get good.

[ionic arch]

it takes a lot of time to get right and a lot of adjustment per scene and in motion

whereas a lighting system isn't easy either! you have to corral it into the way you want it

[cerulean sable]

half swording is grippling the blade itself so you can have more control over it

or in the case of fighting someone in armor

you use it as a makeshift pick

[opaque sigil]

is that also called half swording

[cerulean sable]

afaik as long as youre gripping it scalled a half sword

[opaque sigil]

I see

[marsh ibex]

wdym gripping it

[ionic arch]

that seems rough on the hands

[cerulean sable]

but the one where you turn the pommel iinto a hammer is more aptly termed as a "mordhau" or "murder blow"

[marsh ibex]

(my lawyers have advised me to spontaneously combust)

[opaque sigil]

well it would be fine with gauntlets on, maybe a bit hard to hold onto

[cerulean sable]

most swords are only sharpened at near the end, the unsharpened bit is called the ricasso

you also can grip it more on the flat surface of the blade

[opaque sigil]

it would still be pretty uncomfortable

[marsh ibex]

Ye olde sword fighting is the most sophisticated bar brawl fighting you’ll ever see

[ionic arch]

ooo!

[cerulean sable]

and held tight enough, it should slip and slice your hand

ofc youre also gonna wear gloves

[heady iron]

Thanks discord

[cerulean sable]

better to feel uncomfortable for a bit just so you can bash someones head

[coarse leaf]

jngo with the trojan

[coarse leaf]

very based

[opaque sigil]

I thought the ricasso was less of the blade?

[fiery burrow]

Yknow you can just ask for my IP instead of sending these sketchy files

[cerulean sable]

afaik the ricasso is the unsharpened bit near the base no?

[marsh ibex]

like let’s be fr this the typa shit that you’d see in a bar after you finish downing a pint of beer on tap and clock the motherfucker who’s been saying he’ll take your land and your wife and your children with the freshly emptied mug

[cerulean sable]

but sometimes it extends up until half the blade

[opaque sigil]

yeah but that isn't a huge portion of it

[opaque sigil]

I see

[cerulean sable]

they are all wearing gambeson right

again im not an expert tamo so i might definitely be wrong here 🥴

[ionic arch]

i love the sword lore

[opaque sigil]

I'm not either my experience with hema ends at the couple years of fencing I did

[marsh ibex]

yeah that’s why he started shitting on you he thinks your gambeson looks too prissy

[cerulean sable]

fair enohg

wtf

my gambeson is made by the finest tailor in Tassing

how dare he 😔

[gleaming oracle]

Dont make me wanna replay Pentiment

[cerulean sable]

Death to those who defy Ursula

[cunning geode]

i need to get back into fencing

btw what do we think of this chat

https://www.gamesradar.com/games/call-of-duty/call-of-duty-black-ops-6s-texture-streaming-requires-a-continuous-internet-connection-even-in-the-campaign/

this is like the hostile architecture of video games

like fuckin Darkspore servers

[ionic arch]

spiteful design

horrible

[grim forge]

This just sucks

What are they even putting in the game for it to be this big

[plucky pivot]

this isnt rly gonna affect most cod players though right? most people just play multiplayer

[cunning geode]

300gb for multiplayer

[strange night]

Zombies is the only good part of cod tbh

[cunning geode]

i agree

[half snow]

stupid question: will silksong be before or after the events of hollow knight?

[cunning geode]

after (status pending)

[strange night]

Unconfirmed iirc

[half snow]

lol very true

[strange night]

Most people assume after

[heady iron]

AAA games were invented by big Hard Drive to sell more hard drives

[half snow]

I wanted to get destiny 2, but its 150 gb

[opaque sigil]

the rush to justify ever expanding hardware requirements has always been consumer hostile

[half snow]

like, they have so much gb required

[coarse leaf]

what

[half snow]

I wanted to get SoT on my computer, but I couldnt because of its 80gb size

[glacial wren]

it means more game is there in the game

[opaque sigil]

bg3 taking 150 gigs and the save files taking easily another 10 if you don't regularly delete old ones

[marsh ibex]

And so the Ouroboros ekes onwards, forever doomed to continue its self destructive path…

[half snow]

I have played around 70 hours of Juno New Origins, a rocket building game, and the game is only 725mb

[cloud yew]

i wanna draw something HK/silksong related what should i draw

[marsh ibex]

me

[cunning geode]

you already know what im gonna say

[marsh ibex]

no I don’t

[cunning geode]

forever doomed

[pulsar sleet]

A release date

[glacial wren]

yeah, 725 is a lot

[cunning geode]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/232587540719206400/1249780493008900126/Diablo.gif

[half snow]

draw the knight eating a cheese burger

[cloud yew]

ok thank u for the helpful and sincere answers

[cloud yew]

but it has no mouth 💔

[glacial wren]

zote bong

[half snow]

725mb is a lot less than even 1gb

[glacial wren]

it's horseshoe theory

[half snow]

make it shoving it in its eye

[cloud yew]

maybe ill draw quirrel

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/arbiter-were-it-so-easy-halo-difficult-gif-16171194

[glacial wren]

at 1gb the game is undoubtedly bad, the higher you go the game gets progressively better

[kindred pewter]

500gb for campaign

[glacial wren]

same as a 1mb game would be very bad

it's simple

[fiery burrow]

AAA haters learning about simple math

[half snow]

the game is amazing bruh

[vivid belfry]

Ans where is the game storing all this good?

[half snow]

I had more fun playing it than majority of other triple A games and it comes at a less hefty price

[vivid belfry]

It's a simple mathematics

The bigger the game is, the more good is in it, it's called volumetrics

[half snow]

Its a rocket building game, think KSP but with proceduarl generation on the parts.

[half snow]

true, but Im saying if a game is small and good its good, just because there is a game bigger than it doesnt means that bigger game is better, its all about opinion.

[glacial wren]

I'm saying 999mb would be the best case scenario on the lower end of storage space

999gb would be the best game ever

[half snow]

alr makes sense

I thought you were saying that a game that has more storage but a different game is automatically better

[glacial wren]

I'm saying all video games are technically bad that aren't these sizes

game developers are too wimpy to fulfill my needs

[half snow]

so you are saying that a game that is only 1-2gb is shitty compared to a game that is 300gb?

[opaque sigil]

have you not realized that she's joking

[glacial wren]

closer to 500gb the better, never seen it done before

joking is what children do

[half snow]

imagine a 1tb game

[glacial wren]

ew

[coarse leaf]

this shit is some kirbstar level sarcasm

[glacial wren]

as soon as you break a threshold like that the tech gets stale

[coarse leaf]

there is 0 hint in tone what the fuck is this

[wary storm]

when is next nintendo direct?

[half snow]

idea: 4 yottabyte game

[wary storm]

imagine a

[half snow]

what is your pfp I love it

[wary storm]

hollow knight telling that he is going to

[half snow]

700 yottabyte game

only nasa can play it with their computers

[torpid orchid]

hi

[glacial wren]

now that's impressive

[wary storm]

imagine playing silksong for like 3 month in a row

everyday from 7 am to 11 pm playing only silksong

and doing like 1 ending

[barren sequoia]

The seniors tpd my local highschool for their prank

Where did the good ol fashion areon go

[glacial wren]

I need to end up in that nursing home

[bronze scarab]

I’ll wait, 15 hours

[spice plume]

If 1 represents how large hollow knight was, what are we to thinking silksong is? I’m thing it’s 30% it’s 1.5, 50% its 2, and 20% it’s 2.5.

Thoughts?

[torpid orchid]

2?

I think hollow knight is big enough so maybe 1.5

[coarse leaf]

I Want 2.5, I hope 2, I think 1.5

[cyan forum]

https://tenor.com/view/double-yas-gif-27229005

[half lintel]

When skong . . .

[glacial wren]

hollow knight 2 should be 2 times the size of hollow knight

[heady iron]

I took my meds this morning after forgetting yesterday and I still feel like I'm about to explode

[fair hearth]

hope this helps

[full rune]

dont listen to your doctors, explode, shed your earthly skin, become a walker

consume flesh

[neon adder]

Can do

[cerulean gull]

guys the shadow drop

https://youtu.be/xnc3CW6z5KM

watch it happen

[serene chasm]

The fact that you mentioned it means it wont happen

No point of doing a shadow drop if everyone knows its happening

[wary storm]

dude

[junior marlin]

🤨

[smoky nebula]

Silksong announcement for my birthday would be nice

[onyx dawn]

Clearly it's shadow droping on the 14st of June

[slender quail]

:clueless:

[lyric hedge]

It would be nice

one must imagine silksong releasing

[cerulean gull]

BUT IF IT DOES THO

[onyx dawn]

Imagine
