[hazy summit]

Why

Literally so mean
Im gonna cry

[olive bobcat]

Holy shit the Pickled Egg

[flat remnant]

holy pickled shit egg

[strange night]

Brother ship isn't even a word

[carmine island]

Yes it is

[strange night]

Brothership might be, but brother ship is two words

[hazy summit]

What about sistership

[carmine island]

Wha?

[flat remnant]

brothershio is a word yeah

[carmine island]

Yeah no shit brother ship is two words

[flat remnant]

they should've made the game about mario and luigi entering the hood and they call it brotherhood

[sinful flare]

imo it looks gorgeous maybe not sure about the mechanics yet but like this is the first mario&luigi game we've gotten in 9 years

[flat remnant]

yeah but brothership is one word

[sinful flare]

ever since alphadream went bankrupt

[flat remnant]

two valid expressions

[carmine island]

Yeah I know

[strange night]

Or do you?

[full ledge]

yeah dont get me wrong im very hyped for it but saying its perfect before release is crazy

[carmine island]

It’s an old English word from like pre 1200

I think it might be earlier tho

[sinful flare]

hype be crazy

[cerulean sable]

[hazy summit]

Nervous chuckle*
Not clue man

[sly scaffold]

It would be funny if tc just dropped silksong with no warning

[stoic sigil]

<.<

[stoic sigil]

Its even funnier because check steam

[olive bobcat]

@quartz cave

[hazy summit]

[stoic sigil]

I deleted the announcement

[carmine island]

I know with my full hearts and soul that joker wrote that

[stoic sigil]

Joker would NEVER

[carmine island]

Hearts was intentional btw you don’t want to see my basement

[atomic sparrow]

wow more than a year ago

[hazy summit]

Sounds more like Zal tbh

[carmine island]

No that’s day/month/year

[stoic sigil]

Also you should adopt MIdquel Theory

[carmine island]

I think

[atomic sparrow]

ah 8 months then

[cerulean sable]

i think graig should play Gunner Heat PC

[carmine island]

God 8 months that makes me feel so idk

[stoic sigil]

why dont you tell him

[carmine island]

I think you should play Ultrakill

[white sail]

yeah play ultrakill

Jun 21, 2024, 1:42 AM

[carmine island]

Oh…

[hazy summit]

9 years is crazy

[cerulean sable]

h

[grave snow]

is ultrakill still in early access?

[carmine island]

God I remember asking my parents to give me money so I could back it on kickstarter

I was such a cringe child

[digital junco]

even deltarune is almost 6 💔

[carmine island]

I should’ve just stolen their money

[hazy summit]

I can't process the fact that Deltarune is only 3 years younger than undertale

[fiery burrow]

Does horse taste good

[stoic sigil]

Poor onkey

[hazy summit]

What does turkey taste like

[cerulean sable]

average reddit discussion when Hollow Knight gets mentioned:

"oh yeah this game is really good would put it near the top of the list with it"

"yeah, but HK is more soulslike tho and this one leans far heavier in the souls like than HK did"

"is HK a soulslike?"

"well yeah you can se-"

"HK is not really a soulslike tho-"

"actually Dark Souls is pretty much like a metroidvani-"

[atomic sparrow]

what

[cerulean sable]

"Dark Souls is NOT a metroidvania and HK is not a Soulslike just because they have simil-"

and now the entire thread turns into a debate whether Dark Souls is a metroidvania or not

[stoic sigil]

Chiccken

[cerulean sable]

everytime i swear

lmao

[hazy summit]

So horse tastes like chicken

[stoic sigil]

yes

[hazy summit]

Amazing

[fiery burrow]

well, is it a metroidvania?

[stoic sigil]

all roads lead to chicken

[full ledge]

Dark souls is a metroidvania tbh

[hazy summit]

All crossy roads

[atomic sparrow]

does dark souls have the hollow knight in it ?

[stoic sigil]

your mom is a metroidvania

[hazy summit]

The areas are the organs

[tiny bobcat]

Pinwheel is basically broken vessel

[full ledge]

That’s the most random comparison ever

[atomic sparrow]

who's pinwheel ?

[fiery burrow]

well BV is easy

[tiny bobcat]

Gaping dragon is basically radiance

[fiery burrow]

wish I could say the same for pinwheel

[full ledge]

I can see it

[tiny bobcat]

No one has ever truly beaten pinwheel

[full ledge]

Such a dead meme

[tiny bobcat]

It’s a meme?

[fiery burrow]

ym is a dead meme

[full ledge]

Kind of like the mist noble memes

[tiny bobcat]

I think my woman is gonna leave me guys

[hazy summit]

Fr?

[tiny bobcat]

Ehhhh probably not. I’m just an emotional mess and can’t stay stable for more than a few days

[hazy summit]

Oh uhm
Im sorry for that

[tiny bobcat]

Thank you friend

How’s your romantic life these days

[astral rover]

any news?

[hazy summit]

Pfffft whats that

[stoic sigil]

Its out

[astral rover]

lets gooooo

[stoic sigil]

out of release dates

[tiny bobcat]

My serious hot take on Silksong is that creatives need deadlines. True artists will never be satisfied with their work, and I’m sure they’re just in an endless spree of revisions and do overs…

[fiery burrow]

Okay

[hazy summit]

Thats good in a way tho

So much passion put into it
Never want to stop

[cerulean sable]

that is fair tbh, sometimes devs can never truely be happy with their work especially with infinite resources, with their stopper in HK being their literal budget

[fiery burrow]

And as some assurance: We’re not just randomly building things without an end in site. We know how this story unfolds and as much as we add, our intent is always to evoke the feeling of exploring a vast, surprising new world; one that matches (or exceeds) the scale and diversity of the original game.

[astral rover]

It never gets any easier. Every single time my heart shatters into millions of little pieces and I take time to put it back together again just for it to be shattered once more. I have become numb to the constant cycle of hyping myself up for nothing and having all my hopes and dreams plummet six feet under before my very eyes. The only thing keeping me going is the faint promises that the game will release first half of this year, but even that can barely get me through the cold emptiness that is a slowly taking root in my soul. Despite this I continue to apply the makeup and adjust my rubber nose. I am a clown

[tiny bobcat]

Yep—they literally were incapable of continuing and thus had to ship

[cerulean sable]

but at the end its their game and not much we can do about it, and they already mentioned theyre aware of feature scope way back then

sure times has changed but rn i think itll be worth it

[hazy summit]

Its gonna be awesome when it comes out
Think of that

[astral rover]

this or some technical or personal issue came up - i.e. they had to redo code, some crucial team member has a health issue, etc.

[fiery burrow]

I see no issues with TC's coding

Its was pretty much perfect in HK

[iron spear]

[brittle garnet]

OH YEAH WE SAW THAT

hilarious

[ripe cliff]

of course it became an article

[hollow terrace]

Graig is a losing battle

[astral rover]

It's true that HK didn't have many bugs, but IDK maybe scale grew or features were added that didn't work in the existing framework

or smth like that

[glacial wren]

dwarf fortress supremacy

[brittle garnet]

HK had a LOT of bugs right after launch

[stoic sigil]

Ignore the journalists

[fiery burrow]

Still does

[hazy summit]

I'm gonna blow up the sun

[glacial wren]

fake news is rampant these days

[cerulean sable]

fuck you gamesradar

[carmine island]

hey graig dont let these guys get to you

[glacial wren]

you never know who to trust

but I trust my gut

[brittle garnet]

TC had the luxury of a tiny playerbase at launch so they could fix the major issues before too many people experienced them

[cerulean sable]

can we declare a holy war against bait journos

[ripe cliff]

Graig try to have an opinion without being treated as an official source challenge (impossible) 😔

[cerulean sable]

pls pls can we

[stoic sigil]

Theres a Gamesradar employee in this discord we must eliminate them

[cerulean sable]

im sorry i cant trust any of you

[glacial wren]

lock up the journalists!

[cerulean sable]

this server is compromised

[fiery burrow]

You'll lose.

[iron spear]

It is what it is. I'm going to get some lunch

[stoic sigil]

Kill us all TTacco its the only way

[full ledge]

lol

[hazy summit]

When will this joke stop

[cerulean sable]

you all need to be eliminated

i cant take my chances

[fiery burrow]

I'm not doing a bug pun HK is just a buggy mess

[cerulean sable]

tell william i said hi and that he should watch Dune I and II

[carmine island]

whatcha getting?

[stoic sigil]

Try not to get down about all this stuff, we here appreciate you!

[hazy summit]

OH
Lmao sorry sorry

[carmine island]

sorry if all the pings are getting annoying

[iron spear]

Not sure, I'm in a shopping mall. Going to check out the food court

[cerulean sable]

could get a burrito

[full ledge]

Have you ever said anything without it becoming an article

[cerulean sable]

or those pita wraps

they fucking rock

[glacial wren]

weird al reference

[carmine island]

true!

[stoic sigil]

I thought malls were an extinct species

[astral rover]

legit though someone explain why the amount of news has decreased over time. first a reveal trailer, plus a big QA video explaining every single aspect of the project. then two complete vertical slices as demos. regular blog posts, etc. then ever-dwindling news for years on end. shouldn't it be the opposite, with more news as the game nears completion? is it just bad communication?

[stoic sigil]

let TC cook

[fiery burrow]

Game has a bunch of marketing = They don't have to market anymore until pre release

[hazy summit]

Its all Amazon and deliveries

[stoic sigil]

exactly

[glacial wren]

I will cook them.

[stoic sigil]

wtf rude

[hazy summit]

Theres no news because they are very close to release
(Even if it is 2025)

[rugged nacelle]

But will there be another AMA about Graig's lunch?

[astral rover]

epic level cope

[stoic sigil]

Gfraig needs a thread in this channel for lunch AMA

[astral rover]

the longer we go without news, the greater the chance that silksong is released

[rugged nacelle]

I want to know how inflation is affecting mall food in 2024.

[stoic sigil]

Exactly

[hazy summit]

February or June 2025 has to be it

[stoic sigil]

Person below me will vanish

[hazy summit]

What

[astral rover]

it's been like 5 years since the initial marketing bruh everyone forgor

[glacial wren]

last time I was in a food court I ate food

[astral rover]

I just remembered this thing existed for the first time in like 6 months today

[glacial wren]

good times

[stoic sigil]

The comment sections in game showcases say otherwise

[hazy summit]

Can't feel my legs

[astral rover]

same 50 or so obsessed lunatics, they don't count

[glacial wren]

punch them

[rugged nacelle]

Last time I went to the mall there was an arcade. It cost $6 to play 2 rounds of games. I won enough tickets to get 2 pieces of candy.

[stoic sigil]

OUTSTANDING

[fiery burrow]

dunno if thats gonna matter when they remind everyone of its existence before launch

also steam sends out notifications for wishlists

[stoic sigil]

like the one i just got for silksong

[fiery burrow]

They are already an established studio as well

[astral rover]

I mean yeah the game's gonna sell well regardless

[glacial wren]

not if i boycott it

[fiery burrow]

what the shrue

[hazy summit]

I hope it makes a silksillion dollars

[stoic sigil]

it'll make one Graigillion dollars

[hazy summit]

Hell yeah

[iron spear]

I really don't think TC care about their game selling well. They only care about making a good game. -MY OPINION NOT FACT-

[hazy summit]

They deserve it tho

[ripe cliff]

oh that's definitely gonna get quoted, you're cooked

[glacial wren]

glad you said your opinion because that's stupid

check this out

56 articles are in the way

[stoic sigil]

Good games sell well so we're good

[carmine island]

we should make simo ban the word reddit

[stoic sigil]

ACTUALLY THO

[glacial wren]

silksong has already sold 0 copies and can only go lower from here

[cerulean sable]

unironically at this point we might if people wont stop feeding into this garbage subreddit

[stoic sigil]

Do it

[ionic arch]

I feel like anyone making a game is pouring their heart into it, y'know?

[cerulean sable]

id rather talk about tools at this point

[young saffron]

hello

[hollow terrace]

Why bring up a reddit post from 11 days ago

[stoic sigil]

I will donate my soul to Ari Gibson if you blacklist reddit

[hazy summit]

Even Ubisoft?

[iron spear]

So anyway let's talk about...

[stoic sigil]

HAMMERS

[cerulean sable]

ok id rather talk about the art than the tools tbh

[stoic sigil]

oh

[glacial wren]

let's talk about black holes

[young saffron]

have we analyzed every frame from every trailer

[hollow terrace]

MODS remove thy this controversial drama posting

[ionic arch]

[hazy summit]

My fave talk❤️

[cerulean sable]

we should honestly

[barren sequoia]

Do you think team cherry will listen and add a gun tool

[hazy summit]

Drills

[glacial wren]

anything green

[ionic arch]

someone on the team must, despite. god. horrible corporate decisions

[cerulean sable]

please for the love of god just add handgonnes

[ionic arch]

good answer

[cerulean sable]

they are historically accurate

[barren sequoia]

By all means the requirements for a gun is not absent in the silksong world

[iron spear]

If you think about the drama as a game then silksong has over 5000 hours of play time

[ionic arch]

LMAO true

[stoic sigil]

The wait has become the game itself

[ripe cliff]

its cool that some living things can make their own rocks

[ionic arch]

we've been playing the long game. Long Silksong

[barren sequoia]

Just put one of those crystals that shoot scolding rays into a metal cylinder and a switch

[astral rover]

how long is silksong gonna be guys

[cerulean sable]

look at the fucking Hussites man, they invented what can be considered as the grand father of mechanized combat with these war wagons

[stoic sigil]

At least 15ft

[astral rover]

nah gotta be at least like 17-18

[barren sequoia]

Silksong should also have oil

[ionic arch]

...Silk Long...

[rugged nacelle]

Its size will be comparable to an anthill made for modern day ants.

[stoic sigil]

Silksong should pivot to Live Service MMORPG

[astral rover]

already has questing system

[ripe cliff]

shining citadel battle pass

[barren sequoia]

Bonebottom would mean oil does actually exist wouldn't it

[glacial wren]

1000 silkbucks to turn hornet green

[lavish venture]

Silksong should be a 5v5 teamshooter

[stoic sigil]

ew no

[carmine island]

mods ban this guy

I would imagine all those bones have to turn into oil at some point

it's about the simple things

[barren sequoia]

A flame trap tool for horner would be pretty cool honestly

[stoic sigil]

Oh wait Australia probably has better food standards

[hollow terrace]

Or how ever you spell it

[hazy summit]

Mcdonald's is overrated anyways

[stoic sigil]

all is well

[iron spear]

Aus McDonald's is pretty good yeah

[barren sequoia]

Throw a vial of oil and a match on a boss and just watch them take tick damagw

[cerulean sable]

fries is 500 cals

quarter pounder is around 800 i think

the drink might be 200~

[rugged nacelle]

Ah yes. Minions.

[astral rover]

chat we silking rn

?

[stoic sigil]

Mail Aussie McDonalds to me

[rugged nacelle]

How has inflation impacted McDonald's in Australia?

[cerulean sable]

overall youre tall af so your TDEE is probably gonna take another of these for dinner

[lavish venture]

Who up silking they song

[stoic sigil]

NOT ME

[barren sequoia]

What would happen if you threw a match into the moss groto

[hazy summit]

Who up freeing pharloom from the song

[stoic sigil]

Whimsical things'

[rugged nacelle]

How moist is the grotto

[barren sequoia]

There are rivers or ponds

[hazy summit]

Critically moist

[barren sequoia]

But presumably no rain

[ripe cliff]

dried moss is very flammable, but live moss is very wet and spongy

plus there's ponds and stuff

[barren sequoia]

Most of the moss is very green

[ripe cliff]

it's probably very moist

[cerulean sable]

The relative humidity varies between 90 and 100 percent. The closer a room is to the entrance, the more variation in temperature and humidity it will have. Most sizeable caves do have nearly a constant temperature, when the airflow is not sufficient to change the temperature of the cave

[lavish venture]

I hope when you walk around the moss grotto theres a squelching noise thats like 150% louder than anything else in-game

[cerulean sable]

honestly i hope larkin goes harder on the sound design

[barren sequoia]

Now what would jappen if you threw a match in thr clocktower silk storage room

[rugged nacelle]

So loud you can't hear the music

[ripe cliff]

squoosh squoosh

[barren sequoia]

Do you think the scissor guys would get mad

[lavish venture]

😭

[cerulean sable]

sound design is such an underrated part of the atmosphere cuz its usually graphics and musics

[stoic sigil]

All of Silksong's development to this point has been towards perfecting moss squelching

[cerulean sable]

but sound design is one of those "once you notice, you cant help but criticize games that lacks it" type of situation

[young saffron]

1500 calorie meal. I can finish this in 5 mins.
Been trying to put on weight and my fitness pal estimates I need 2400 calories

[ripe cliff]

chat does moss grotto need a tardigrade enemy

[young saffron]

after that meal id need only 900 more 😭

[cerulean sable]

good luck

im trying to maintain lmao

[young saffron]

im so underweight I dont appear on the bmi scale (Im not anorexic or anything, ive just been thin for a long time lol)

[lavish venture]

Oh em gee same

[young saffron]

Couple times ive managed to gain 2-3kg but afterwards some horrible disease or sickness would follow with it LOL

then my weight and appetite goes down, so I cant maintain it at all

[lavish venture]

We get to eat whatever though

[hazy summit]

Thats also a problem i think

[lavish venture]

I mean like

Within reason

[young saffron]

I still rely on my parents for food sooo I cant really eat what ever I want lol

[hazy summit]

Because some stuff makes you feel full but doesnt make you gain weight

[carmine island]

why are there so many people with red pfps

[silk zodiac]

no reason

[astral rover]

silkmsong

[young saffron]

RICE

[carmine island]

oh god theres another one

[hazy summit]

Yeah
That and potatos

[ionic arch]

made with real minion...

[carmine island]

true!!!

[quartz cave]

Confirming roc's odyssey happy meal???

Rocky as a toy??

[young saffron]

holy shit my people (country wise) consume rice 3 times a meal but its super low on calories and causes you to bloat lol

[silk zodiac]

hey i have those speakers

[stoic sigil]

Is Roc a Wendys or KFC kinda guy

[lavish venture]

What fast food chains do you think will appear in silksong

[hazy summit]

Oh god
Thats hell for skinny people

[ionic arch]

dude already goes hard

the low pass on bonk... majestique

definitely uh did similar in my shit

[hazy summit]

Hopefully with a way higher budget he can go even harder

[ionic arch]

once you get dash boots you can bonk into fences and bonk out the music. which also slows down for added amusement

do it enough times and you go to concussion world

you can literally beat the game doing a concussion only route but you shouldn't because you die

[ionic arch]

very true

what we've seen in demos / treehouse already sounds juicier

[hazy summit]

Fr
The echoed sounds sound amazing

[ionic arch]

Moss Grotto sounds so drippy

like in the best possible way

fuck actually I've forgotten is it even called that

[ripe cliff]

yes

[hazy summit]

Yeah
Im so excited for the sounds too
Not talked about enough

[barren sequoia]

I mean by all means

[hazy summit]

And music

[barren sequoia]

Could they not afford an orchestra for the siundtrack

[young saffron]

I got fucking blue screened on my work laptop

[ripe cliff]

i have no idea what to expect with the music tbh, it'll feel a lot different with the predominantly string instruments

[young saffron]

ive tried everything and none of it is working. my data 😭

[hazy summit]

They had people recording the music with actual instruments

Thats known info

[ripe cliff]

(ermm, technically pianos are string) nuh uh be quiert

[hazy summit]

Piano is strings yeah

[ionic arch]

for Silksong they do in fact have orchestra budget

that's why Lace slaps so hard

I mean Larkin can juice the fuck out of MIDI and more power to him

[hazy summit]

And it's not even the final version i believe

[barren sequoia]

Awesome

[ionic arch]

but it's exciting to hear another angle of it with slightly more organic flesh

still. HK soundtrack GOD TIER for MIDI

[barren sequoia]

Wouldn't silksong also have a lot of brass?

[ionic arch]

I think the silk part is gonna have a lot of say

[barren sequoia]

I mean an entire subsection of enemies have brass instruments for armor and weapons

[ripe cliff]

bells? yes

idk about trumpets and the like

[ionic arch]

true but a lot are cymbals and bells

one harmon mute for the entire village

you can also hire brassists

fun fact

[barren sequoia]

Yeah we might not get tubas or anythinf

Was the entrance for pharloom a cello or violin?

[ripe cliff]

some organs may be a possibility

[ionic arch]

personally I prefer just sneaking around and playing every instrument badly but y'know!

[barren sequoia]

I cant remember exactly

[ionic arch]

I can do awful things to a clarinet

etc (load-bearing etc)

technically my "degree" is in music

I still got scammed bad though

[hazy summit]

Huh

[hollow terrace]

Discord nows dms you updates

[ionic arch]

all of my Decimae stuff is Grögol Bonanza so far, and that has had a... sillier MIDI sensibility

but who knows

[barren sequoia]

Im like pretty sure its a cello

[ionic arch]

someday if budgets allow... string players who don't sound like death might be cool

[ionic arch]

it looks cello-like but could easily be a viola at bug scale

problem is that the design language of string instruments, esp orchestral ones, can free-float with ease between possibilities

oh fuck? that's bad

I have a supposedly benign one, but get that shit checked outtt

re: instrument chat, the first song I made for GB started with just MIDI french horn direct input

sounded silly as hell, so I embraced and built around that silliness

[stoic sigil]

We dont want you to be in Silksong dude see a doctor

[ionic arch]

the original sample is still in there but buried in layers

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JPHt084iqrc

[ionic arch]

for fucking real @torpid fractal no joke, MRI stat, biopsy if warranted

you must survive for the silk and the song

[hazy summit]

Wait nvm

I just remembered something

😞.

I had kinda forgotten about Seth

man

[ionic arch]

yeahhhhhhh

heartbreaking

[ionic arch]

ew why

[hazy summit]

❤️. I'm glad he made into the game

[stoic sigil]

I sleepy

gn gentlemen

[hazy summit]

Gnnn

[ionic arch]

me too. glad he got to play some of it too. that shit's rough and never stops being rough.

[hazy summit]

Peak character design

[cerulean sable]

honestly they couldve easily jsut made a one off character and all that

but i have a good feeling TC is gonna go beyond that

just a hunch

i dont mean to the point hes super integral to the game's plot

but not quite the "hes a nice fight, too bad hes gonna be irrelevant for 90% of the game" either

[ripe cliff]

oh yeah, we see Seth in various teaser gifs rather than just a one time bossfight, seems like his lore runs somewhat deep aswell

Dung-Defender-level at the very least which is pretty good already

but still would love to see more of him

[hazy summit]

No fight cloak on

[ripe cliff]

that cymbal attack is really creative

[hazy summit]

Dung defender deserved a little more screentime

[hazy summit]

Yeah haha i love it
And the way he moves so fast like he teleported

Like Goku

[mortal grove]

IM COOKED i hated shield enemies in hollow knight silksong is gonna be rough

[charred surge]

The more I think on it, the more I look forward to Silksong’s combat. I remember reading some stuff about how enemies in general are planned to have more complex behavior, which could give it more challenge. I yearn to have my ass beat and having to figure things out

[ripe cliff]

it certainly looks like it's gonna be way more sophisticated than the previous game

[charred surge]

Just equip sharp shadow smh my head

[hazy summit]

I would absolutely love to have my ass beaten in silksong
Nothing like a hard challenge

The enemies in hk were fairly easy

[silk zodiac]

really happy to hear sharp shadow will be making a return as the only returning charm in silksong

sorry as well as dashmaster to do the combo with it

[ripe cliff]

its going to be so fun to turn to void momentarily as Hornet

[silk zodiac]

momentarily? but hornet is always void!

[weary tapir]

the elden ring DLC is overheating my computer

[silk zodiac]

did you consider pouring water on it

Have you cleaned your PC?

i not familiar with amd, whats the equivalent to intel

[pine frost]

That's scary

[past sable]

Are you using a good cooler?

[pine frost]

The fan on my GPU broke so it will hit 100c then turn off if i don't have a fan pointed at it

[weary tapir]

my cooler may suck I guess that the stock AMD cooler has reached its limit

[past sable]

Here your solution lol

[weary tapir]

30 dollar cooler master time

I think

[past sable]

I can look out a good option

[silk zodiac]

i’m not really knowledgable on pc parts but can you not replace the fan?

[weary tapir]

if you can find one hovering around 30 i'd appreciate it

and preferably one that isnt a bitch to install

[pine frost]

I mean probably but at that point it would be cheaper to get a new gpu than finagle with that

[past sable]

I asked, just send a dm so I don't forget

30 usd?

i think there should be more air games like ace combat where its just pure power fantasy i miss flying in planetside 2

genuine question btw

no

no, go play shadow of the erdtree
be happy

[spring violet]

how did you know

...you could've checked #hk-announcements

[cunning geode]

maybe he did

[unborn dome]

531k playing

[spring violet]

bro i’m so excited about shadow of the wes tree that i’m probably not gonna sleep

[delicate ice]

I don't see any Silksong discussion

all I see is elden ring discussion

[unborn dome]

petition to change this channel to shadow of the erdtree discussion

[delicate ice]

what's so great about it anyway

[unborn dome]

more elden ring

[delicate ice]

seems like every dlc

[spring violet]

it’s so fucking good

[spring violet]

does every dlc take 2 years to make bud

[delicate ice]

more boss more area more weapon equal harder

[spring violet]

does every dlc come with 38 bosses

[delicate ice]

precisely

maybe a year or so

[barren sequoia]

Play a real game like ffx instead of the elden ring dlc

[grand ferry]

less than banana

[cunning geode]

play a real game like (game i like) instead of (game i dont play)

[delicate ice]

a real game is CrossCode

[spring violet]

almost 3 years honestly

[spare fractal]

a real game is wii sports

[young saffron]

fucking insane

[olive bobcat]

Oh yeah Oshi no Ko season 2 in like 2 weeks

[unborn dome]

yeah, and that's just on steam
there's definitely many more on xbox and playstation

[spring violet]

a real game is goat simulator

[unborn dome]

i think console just got the dlc like 90 minutes ago
pc has already had it for 7 hours

[cunning geode]

something like that

yeah

[spare fractal]

a real game is a game

Console master race

see the trick is to advertise a game thats niche, only 5% of this server will even care 😔

[cunning geode]

hey uh Paradox Interactive just layed off its entire studio???

[cerulean sable]

yeah the latest life sim thing

[rustic ore]

GRRR ELD ERIN G

[cunning geode]

stellaris, hearts of iron, crusader kings, cities: skylines

[cerulean sable]

apparently internally they were like "dont worry guys ur doing good!" then next week they all got laid off and the game got cancelled

[cunning geode]

damn

[cerulean sable]

oh wait

[spare fractal]

it's still advertising though, so you should ban yourself according to the rules

[wheat sail]

Hearts of Iron ? Damn

[cerulean sable]

i tried my soul is bound on this server

also i am not seeing anything about this news

its only one studio

which is supposed to be making a Life Sim game to compete against The Sims

[cunning geode]

just the one who is making the new game? i see

that still sucks

[cerulean sable]

yeah

yeah it is

apparently they were even planning to go early access for 1 year

which from the internal view, isnt even enough

[cunning geode]

damn

[cerulean sable]

so they just cut their losses

[cunning geode]

team cherry liquidated by valve 😔

[wheat sail]

From the comments their game wasn't close to ready and they missed lots of deadlines

It is what it is

[cerulean sable]

yeah

[cerulean sable]

all assets reused to make a 4v4 moba

dead on arrival after 2 months

also the hopium is back inside me

not out of expecting the game will release

but rather the longer it takes, the stronger silksong becomes

[tacit cosmos]

Is the Elden ring dlc out yet

[olive bobcat]

I think

[chilly nexus]

if you're wondering why i went quiet, it's cuz I got my game to run and have been playing the elden ring dlc

its definitely a lot

[cerulean sable]

actually i can buy it but rn 80% of ER leaves a sour taste to me

you know whats entirely free if you have a copy of doom 2

[cerulean sable]

too much running around, i want story why i need to kill everyone in that room, not because "ohhh tarnished please go forth you fucking asshole"

what is

[grand ferry]

what is the deluxe edition

[tall cargo]

doom 2 probably

[cunning geode]

this but like multiplied by 1000

[cerulean sable]

TRUE

i love mod heavy games

[cunning geode]

we have an annual celebration of doom mods with awards

[cerulean sable]

mount and blade is my favorite other example
want fantasy warhammer? Warsword Conquest
want a story based one centered around the GOT? A Clash of Kings or a Song of Ice and Fire
want a 16th century theme? Nova Aetas
want a gritty viking invasion era game? Brytenwalda or Viking Conquest (for a price, its a DLC by the same Brytenwalda Devs that got hired)
want a high quality original low fantasy world? Prophesy of Pendor babyyyyyy

[cunning geode]

thats pretty sick

[cunning geode]

no i prefer dsda-doom

[cerulean sable]

ahh fair enough

[cunning geode]

this one does something really fun and shows off doom soundtracks which is just so much fun

i said fun twice

[cerulean sable]

man is there more of a "grounded" doom mods

[cunning geode]

like in realism

[rustic ore]

bigger

[cerulean sable]

or just not set in the doom setting

i prefer other settings

[cunning geode]

yes there are im just not super familiar with them

[cerulean sable]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA7RzmpzAfg

something like this

ok fair

[cunning geode]

im more into the ones that lean into what makes doom's gameplay loop work and expanding upon it artistically

and very difficult

[cerulean sable]

yeah thats fair

man im just gonna install new vegas 😔

Phew

[cunning geode]

https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/92574-dimension-of-the-boomed/

yes i went looking

[cerulean sable]

Boom?

is it another like Doom fork

[cunning geode]

yeah from 1998

[cunning geode]

its continued to have forks since then

dsda-doom is one of them basically

boom was made by TNT who made one of those commercialized megawads put into final doom so its pretty legit

[sacred stratus]

me when I need to save money but Miyazaki said: "here guys have a new game"

[cunning geode]

that'll be me when Wilds comes out

[sacred stratus]

fortunately we have another years till wilds releases

all i know is the original original, the "new" port developed for the modern hardware, GZDoom and thats about it

the "new" unity port you mean

plus GZDoom is from ZDoom too

the other is the lead singer of DragonForce saying hes been trying HK a couple of years bac k

and as controversial as she is now, Ronda Rhousey (the former popular MMA fighter) at one point tweeted her cursing TC for making NKG during her second playthrough

"jokingly" cursing btw

as in the "i hate you so much TC for making this boss you sadistic bastards lmao" type of curse not the "seriously this fucking boss is bad game design"

[cunning geode]

he’s just a funny red guy

like zoidberg

[cerulean sable]

man

i remember HK blowing up mid 2022

at that point i thought the game reached its peak potential at around 2019 and that would be the end of it

[sage glade]

nkg 🆓

[cerulean sable]

then streamer after streamer afte streamer started playing it

[sage glade]

idk what stage ppl encounter nkg in their playthrough to find it so exceedingly hard

[cunning geode]

one by one they fell

[cunning geode]

i mean, it’s a shakeup for the majority of players when they encounter him

[cerulean sable]

it was her 2nd playthrough from the tweet so at that point she was actively looking for NKG

[sage glade]

not talking about her specifically

[cerulean sable]

oh yeah fair

[sage glade]

i'm just confounded by majority opinion

[cunning geode]

it’s a boss made to be difficult i don’t see the reason for confoundment

[sage glade]

to me the fight is very robotic. you see something thing and you respond accordingly. as opposed to the more rng fights like the watchers which have 5 degrees of freedom at their worst

[cunning geode]

yes, it’s like a dance etc. reaction time still takes practice

[cerulean sable]

also random but there was this very popular known celebrity football player during a podcast who during an interview was asked if he plays games
and he was like, oh yeah i love playing games and started listing super niche traditional roguelikes like Caves of Qud, ADOM, Cataclysm Dark Days ahead etc

and you could see the interview has no idea what those games were when he was trying to explain what those types of games were, so he just segwayed it with "and uhh, for other games i also played Elden Ring" so that the poor interviewer can at least interject something 🥴

[cunning geode]

that’s awesome

[cerulean sable]

its like an equivalent (in football terms) of Lebron saying he plays those super old school hardcore TRPGs

then just going "uhh God of War too i guess" just to help the interviewer lmao
