Of course, I know everything

[weary tapir]

Sorry I’m not gonna friend someone outta the blue

I barely know you lol

[silk zodiac]

muffin have you done ultrakill p ranks or am I thinking of someone else

[strange night]

@rancid elbow if you're 14 you probably shouldn't be sending friend requests to people in their 20s buddy, general rule of thumb

[opaque sigil]

reasonable advice

[carmine island]

Yeah I have

[opaque sigil]

even act 3?

act 3 seems hard

[carmine island]

Thanks dolm

[opaque sigil]

maybe not though

[carmine island]

I’ve been stuck at gabe 2

[opaque sigil]

ah

[carmine island]

Just been busy and haven’t got to it lol

[violet dune]

is more of act 3 out or just layer 7

[carmine island]

P ranked all of act one and two levels in act two

[carmine island]

Jsut layer seven

[opaque sigil]

just 7

[carmine island]

Violence

[violet dune]

damn

[wide quartz]

Slide and shoot

[opaque sigil]

and parry the sword throw

[wide quartz]

Yeah

[carmine island]

I’ve gotten close a few times

[wide quartz]

Also abuse the phase change animation

[carmine island]

Parrying makes me feel like I’m actually good at the game

So like

I’m basically the best Ultrakill player in the world

[opaque sigil]

honestly parrying maybe makes some parts of the game too easy

[wide quartz]

No that would go to underthemayo

[carmine island]

[wide quartz]

[carmine island]

Charge pistol spam…

Self proclaimed game reviewer

[opaque sigil]

you could probably shotgun swap the whole game

[carmine island]

Tammo have you played Ultrakill?

If so how many p ranks you got?

[wheat sail]

Idk

[opaque sigil]

I haven't done P ranks because I'm bad at the game

[strange night]

Ultrakill is too much for me tbh, I usually play mediumkill

[carmine island]

I’ve also done the prelude

[carmine island]

Real

[carmine island]

As long as you’re having fun

[opaque sigil]

It is a blast

[strange night]

You know what else is a blast?

[opaque sigil]

especially once I realized I could parry my own shotgun fire

[olive bobcat]

My mom

[carmine island]

Yeah projectile boosting is so cool

[olive bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/muscle-man-regular-show-my-gif-26029512

[shell yacht]

two Jojos references in one dragon

[glacial wren]

is this a jojos reverence

[wheat sail]

Mojo Jojo or Jojo siwa?

[shell yacht]

Dio and Yoshikage Kira

[strange night]

Fun fact:

🙂

[silver oak]

huh I never knew that

[silk zodiac]

[fiery burrow]

They should enable ranking on 4-S

just to hurt the fanbase

honestly they should do that with 7-S though, it'd be fun with the time limit

[silk zodiac]

some of the ultrakill combos are so hard for me to do i feel like my hands will explode

still mmmmm p-rank

[fiery burrow]

I still need to do p-2 but other than that I've p ranked everything

||stalker chamber|| takes me like 3 tries 😔

[carmine island]

That’s impressive

It took me like 40 minutes to even get through p-1 on standard lol

[fiery burrow]

Took me like 2 hours
||Flesh prison|| my beloathed

[carmine island]

Yeah but you probably play on violent or brutal

[fiery burrow]

No that was standard

I did violent later

[opaque sigil]

the weapons can be a lot to keep track of

[silk zodiac]

they really can

i remember the surprise i had when i found out the game had the GTA-style weapon select circle

[opaque sigil]

It has it but tbh I’m not sure that’s that useful

[silk zodiac]

yeah it’s better to just cycle normally i think and all that

still it’s good for stressful moments

[opaque sigil]

Unless it has time slow which I don’t remember

[silk zodiac]

it does i think

[opaque sigil]

Oh

[silk zodiac]

but like the timer obv doesn’t slow down so it’s not the best for p ranks in that regard iirc yk

[opaque sigil]

That’s very useful then

I don’t care much about rankings

[silk zodiac]

it does slow stuff down but not incredibly slow

[opaque sigil]

even a bit can help

[silk zodiac]

so like you can still easily die but yeah

[silk zodiac]

true!

[finite flax]

ooooooooayaaaaaaaaaaay ooooooooooooooooiiaaaiaaiiiiiiiiiiii

[coral prawn]

[silk zodiac]

collector.sfx

also i was also surprised when my friend told me to punch my shotgun fire but i was even more surprised that you can punch your cannonball and dunk on your enemies for massive damage (plus i think the game even calls it dunking in the style metre thing?)

[coral prawn]

Ultramid reference

[fiery burrow]

dunking is when your cannonball hits something twice

[coral prawn]

Never playes it please don't kill me

[silk zodiac]

[fiery burrow]

you will get a unique style bonus though, I just dont remember what its called

[silk zodiac]

so yeah if you shoot at the enemy first, then the cannonball goes up and you melee it back at them for a second shot isn’t that dunking?

[hollow terrace]

bugs SUCK

[finite flax]

can you hear me, doctor? 😟
are you with me, doctor? 😔

[silk zodiac]

ohhh

[fiery burrow]

:bugyaoi:

[dusty mirage]

I'm probably stupid

but what's happening on August 2nd-

[fiery burrow]

world of goo 2

[dusty mirage]

oh, cool

[silk zodiac]

never seen that emoji only until now it couldn’t have been better timing

it’s from the hk wiki server…

[fiery burrow]

TC should make that the achievement icon for happy couple

[silk zodiac]

TRUE

[kindred pewter]

What about :bugyuri:

[hollow terrace]

When silksong releases there will be FIFTY :bugyuri: emotes

[fiery burrow]

remember the hour before silksong released and we were all spamming bugyuri and bugyaoi

https://tenor.com/view/its-been84years-titanic-rose-dawson-gif-5372593

[atomic sparrow]

when silksong releases

[cerulean sable]

do you think Team Cherry is the type of people that will hog Armour on round start

then use it to camp on a hill and shell people to farm them instead of helping players push to the next capture zone?

i think its kinda fucked up if it is

[silver oak]

TC is the type to leave a negative review after 0.4 hours played

[cerulean sable]

TRYEU

[kindred pewter]

TC hates good games and only loves mid games like hollow knight

[violet path]

Agreed

[wheat sail]

team cherry the type of MFs to say 'we got company' when the nintendo reps arrive

[kindred pewter]

TC asking good developers like ubisoft to make silksong as it's taking a long time for them

[ionic arch]

damn I was so disappointed when this wasn't a rick roll

[atomic sparrow]

if this was team cherry

silksong would've been out already

[hollow terrace]

All pre rendered using unreal engine

Specifically not represented of ingame visuals

[heady iron]

I want a game with movie quality cg cutscenes and then beginner indie game pixel art gameplay

[ionic arch]

raytraced

[grand ferry]

game with 99% cutscene that tanks your fps to 10

[ionic arch]

cats built in blender

[safe wind]

any update when the game come ?

[wheat sail]

you think team cherry does that?

[coral prawn]

?sspsa

[white sail]

Reminder: The latest news for both Hollow Knight and Silksong can be found in #hk-announcements.
Check the pinned messages for more information, including a FAQ.

[coral prawn]

thats not their job

[wanton eagle]

mods, sspsa anyone ask for silksong thank you

[ionic arch]

you're gonna need to specify the game or you're gonna get weird answers

[coral prawn]

this remind me of somthing you would see in a LBP game

[safe wind]

silk song

[coral prawn]

eww silksong

[fallen blaze]

Any silksong news

[coral prawn]

yes

[atomic sparrow]

chat

any hollow knight news ?

[hollow terrace]

Any

Silksong rumors

?

[ionic arch]

idk what that is

[coral prawn]

Little big planet

[ionic arch]

someone made a game?? with both silk and songs in it?

wow... fucked up...

[fluid iron]

If you imagine some, yes

[ionic arch]

big if true

[ionic arch]

gotcha

[ionic arch]

sadly this is the other LBP (Lgrögol Bonanza Partone)

here's a silksong rumor for ya:

whatever that means

[coral prawn]

what problem

[ionic arch]

gonna guess from the screenshot "bug was too short will hornt be tall enough?? ! ?"

[kind kiln]

yo

i've been pulled apart from ss and hk a while ago what happened w all this

[atomic sparrow]

silksong is still being developed

[ionic arch]

oh lmao idk I am shitposting

[kind kiln]

no news or contact as usual from cherry?

[ionic arch]

silksong is in development

it will come out "soon"

I'm excited

[kind kiln]

i like the part where hornet says is silkingsong time and starts silking all over pharloom

[silver oak]

Game rant bait….

[ionic arch]

I mean they said it was gonna take longer than their initial target date of mid-2023

implication seemed to kind of be that they were caught off-guard by the tweet using their projected internal date

since they've always been on cherry time...

[atomic sparrow]

idk how long you've been pulled apart from hk and ss so https://gmpranav.github.io/skong-timeline/ https://www.youtube.com/@DailySilksongNews/videos

timeline and daily silksong news... GO !

[kind kiln]

atleast a year or less so lol, i think i remember this channel

[ionic arch]

as of February they said it's still being worked on. shocking to uh... people without object permanence I guess?

[atomic sparrow]

if i was a silksong...

[kind kiln]

well not bad if they need to leave it on the oven for a lil bit more

[atomic sparrow]

i'd be so cool

😎

[kind kiln]

but would you silk it out though?

[atomic sparrow]

nah

i'd song it out

[ionic arch]

fer sure

[cerulean sable]

god i unironically wish GameRant would die off

[ionic arch]

so yeah, enough information to my mind but not to the foaming masses

[cerulean sable]

they also copy right striked Fireborne's video calling them out for their shit

[atomic sparrow]

i wish silksong would live on ngl

[ionic arch]

LMAO that sucks so bad

[cerulean sable]

yeah

afaik GameRant is under ScreenRant

[ionic arch]

tracks

[kind kiln]

it's been years without ss, I'm going crazy... my wife left me and my children keep contacting me but I won't get distracted by them I just need hollow knight and my dear Silksong... I haven't left my house in months, barely my room. I'm going crazy and we haven't gotten news I'm slowly going insane i play hk all day and think and dream about it being Silksong and having cool spider powers PLEASE cherry realese it...

[cerulean sable]

that whole hegemony of internet brain slop clickbait

yeah sure jokes been overdone bud

anyway yeah they not surprised they copyright striked it

[kind kiln]

no way

[ionic arch]

he hasn't been here for a year or two give him a silk scrap of song slack

[atomic sparrow]

the whole hegemol ???

[kind kiln]

what did it end up at

[ionic arch]

more like HegemHOLE amirite

hmm. maybe inappropriate

[atomic sparrow]

y'all even played hollow knight ?

[ionic arch]

what's Hollow Knight?

[kind kiln]

i watched a 3 hour long video of gameplay...

[cerulean sable]

one day i will wake up

GameRant gets deleted
r Silksong gets removed as a sub

and i will say "everything is right on earth as it is on heaven 😌"

[ionic arch]

last thing I remember I was lost in the supermarket and now I'm here

I think I maybe got like fuckin'. what's the thing. where you like wind up in a painting or some shit.

cursed. vengeful fae. spirited away. that kinda shit.

is this an isekai??

[kind kiln]

Do any of y'all ever be concerned with the amount of new content and stuff to discover and do when a new game you follow is coming out like with ss, I feel lazy to finish a whole notha bugs game.

I'll end up doing it and prob waste hundreds of hours anyways

[cerulean sable]

i usually play based on vibes

ss is the only rule excemption in the "drop everything and play it" rule

[atomic sparrow]

silksong will be goated

[kind kiln]

true ss is a must play and complete experience if I ever get to play it on my lifetime

[atomic sparrow]

i will pour 300 hours into it at least just as i have for hollow knight

trust the process gang

[cerulean sable]

my only advice is not to treat silksong as the game to end all games

its unfortunately created that type of mindset due to how good the first game is

the idea that its going to be in GOTY lists for the next several decades blah blah type of beat

[opaque sigil]

hk is overrated too

[cerulean sable]

thats just setting yourself up for dissapointment

[atomic sparrow]

nah silksong will be goty for centuries at least

the goatedness will be off the charts

[cerulean sable]

i think HK's advantage is its an introduction to the new gen akin to how the original metroid players felt

[opaque sigil]

sure it's pretty accessible

[cerulean sable]

its why i laugh at the "it doesnt do anything new!"

[opaque sigil]

there is nothing new under the sun

[cerulean sable]

so many people are obessesed over this idea of originality 🥴

exactly

[opaque sigil]

(other than outer wilds)

[wanton eagle]

howdy

[atomic sparrow]

is there an outer wilds 3

[worn spruce]

what about 2

there's no 2

[opaque sigil]

there's not even an outer wilds 2 though the dlc is close to that

[cerulean sable]

a lot of people only pulls the "it can only be a good game if its innovative" card then when you ask them for recommendations of games that are innovative they tend to only mention already high quality derivative games that changed a small thing or so

its only innovative if its something i like

[opaque sigil]

also remixing things is innovation

[ionic arch]

I think it's best when things have a lot of influence from multiple sources and other formats

but yeah, you don't need to reinvent the wheel to be fun

I don't love it when shit's super super super samey... but there's lots you can do to avoid that

have fun with it and bring yourself to it

[opaque sigil]

echoes of the eye is as close to that as will ever exist 😔

but echoes of the eye is peak so

[worn spruce]

true

[cerulean sable]

one of my biggest stress during our comsci thesis was trying to come up with something originalor innovative blah blah and i felt like it was an impossible task until i asked my older colleagues and my prof on how they made something original

and their plain answer was "we didnt, we took an already existing algorithm and added our own thing to it, the point wasnt to make an entirely unique thing, you just need to experiment and see if your modification improved it or not"

[ionic arch]

I get kinda sad when it's like. a little bit of fun was had maybe but things feel like they're directed to solely make cash

[worn spruce]

aren't they making a new engine for their new game

[opaque sigil]

tc? no

[worn spruce]

cause they used unity for outer wilds

[opaque sigil]

oh

idk

I have no idea what their next project is

[atomic sparrow]

wait

is there even an outer wilds 1 ?

[opaque sigil]

yes

[ionic arch]

nope

[worn spruce]

I think so

I have played it but maybe it was a dream

[opaque sigil]

whatever mobius digital is working on I'm here for though

all in due time

[cerulean sable]

and thats what hit me that the fucking gamer idea of innovation == better always boils it down to something superficial:

its only innovation if its something i liked, otherwise its just a derivative that "i have no idea why its popular"

[opaque sigil]

innovation is corpo speak for good change

[cerulean sable]

yeah

it often feels like a buzzword thrown by gamers just so they can raise/lower a game if they liked it or not

[olive bobcat]

https://youtu.be/f28nKLp-eKg

[opaque sigil]

it often is

[cerulean sable]

yeah lmao

[opaque sigil]

which makes it annoying to talk about things that actually do do really cool new things

[cerulean sable]

saying you dont like it isnt good enough, you have to say WHY it doesnt deserve it (because you didnt like it)

[atomic sparrow]

what if lethal company was chill company instead

[violet path]

Lethal company movie would go hard tbh

[grand ferry]

chill company = evicted into space

[cerulean sable]

its super frustrating seeing people tout that the reason HK was popular is because of TC just overmarketing it with shills because theres no way something that doesnt do anything new manages to attract this much player

[opaque sigil]

ok but it's fun to engage with media you don't like in that way if you're doing it in good faith

[cerulean sable]

and worst part is you see people agreeing with it without a single iota of evidence backing it up

hurr durr different hing from me like is impossible :(((

[cerulean sable]

im not speaking for those who say "i dont like the game can someone explain why they liked it"

those are fine

youre trying to break into a possible barrier for you not liking it

[opaque sigil]

yeah the in good faith is crucial

[cerulean sable]

what i dislike is those conspiracy nuts who will either claim the game has paid astroturfing accounts or "can someone explain why they liked this game? cuz honestly i feel like the only reason people like it because they havent played real other games like"

[opaque sigil]

it's one thing to make up reasons for why you don't like a game to try to make your opinion objective
it's another to try to be introspective and explore why a game didn't resonate with you

[violet path]

Are people actually like that?

[opaque sigil]

yes

[violet path]

I wonder if they go outside

[cerulean sable]

its funny seeing people say they probably didnt like HK because its derivative and how they played so much better games that did it before already, only to get shutdown by
"nah i played a lot of metroidvanias since like, the 2000s, HK is top tier"

[opaque sigil]

(they do not)

[violet path]

Hes calling hollow knight.. corporate?

Huh?

[cerulean sable]

back during the 2018-2019 days, there was so many post praising HK that you naturally got counter pushed by people saying it shouldnt be this popular because its just another metroidvania and the originals has done it already

[violet path]

I swear sometimes mfs will just say words

[opaque sigil]

hk does put some good twists on the genre though imo

looser progression order and the map system are big

[cerulean sable]

and there were legit people so baffled about the idea that HK is popular, that if they werent putting people down just because "they havnet played other metroids so thats why think this mediocre game is good", its "TC is actively paying astroturfed accounts and reddit is falling for it, unfortunately"

[grand ferry]

what is astroturf

[violet path]

People that probably havent played the game

[cerulean sable]

paid stealth advertising basically

[opaque sigil]

and it (generally) does a better job than some of making lock opening upgrades combat relevant, compared to something like metroid dread's 'now you can break x colored boxes

[violet path]

Or played for like 2 hours just so that they can say they tried it to justify hating

Because like why

[opaque sigil]

idk

[cerulean sable]

aka
"wow this new wendy's burger is so good hmm im not paid by wendy's at all btw"
"jeez youre right fellow citizen, this wendy's burger is really good, and its a value meal too! totally not paid btw"

[opaque sigil]

if you see people enjoying something and can't enjoy it yourself you project ig

and like yeah there certainly are cases where games get way overhyped and there's a mismatch between quality and esteem but assuming that's the result of deception and not the lottery is strange

[violet path]

Are there?

[opaque sigil]

yeah

[inland ravine]

hi

[violet path]

[atomic sparrow]

what this guy name again ?

[opaque sigil]

it's either caspian or garro

[atomic sparrow]

ding ding ding !!! Garro

[grand ferry]

wait how

[inland ravine]

toast

[violet path]

Can you give some examples

Ig i dont really play story games that arent universally accepted as peak

[opaque sigil]

probably a bunch of those fall under the umbrella

and it's just a general trend in games, shit gets pushed to one end of the spectrum

either it's perfect or it's terrible

lot of things end up in both categories that don't belong there

[violet path]

I can think of games that definitely do belong in the category of being seen as universally terrible

[opaque sigil]

nuance is dead the internet killed it

[violet path]

Overwatch 🔥

[inner gust]

Yea know it’s funny I was actually one of those people till I played the game

[violet path]

This is why i just enjoy fiction in peace and dont talk about them because other people are bound to have dumb opinions 🗣️

[inner gust]

I downloaded it as meme, thought I’d uninstall it after like a hour

[opaque sigil]

that's a fine approach

[inner gust]

Now I wonder why I didn’t play it sooner

[opaque sigil]

people also don't necessarily have to defend the games they like as being in any technical sense well made

[fleet temple]

I wonder if silksong will have a larger group of people like that

[opaque sigil]

or say that games they don't like are poorly executed

[opaque sigil]

I doubt it

hk came out of nowhere that probably contributed

now hk is the standard

so the sequel won't hit like that

[hollow terrace]

Need to bring back not liking things based on vibes

[opaque sigil]

but it will be more popular so just proportionately that might increase

[violet path]

I dont remember where i first heard abt hollow knight

[hollow terrace]

Like I don’t like outer wilds because I don’t vibe with it

[violet path]

I couldnt get into outer wilds

[opaque sigil]

death

[violet path]

I bought it like a year ago and played a few hours

[opaque sigil]

[violet path]

I’ll probably retry it again eventually but for now im perfectly content with elden rings

I played so much elden ring i lost like all my streaks

[ionic arch]

yeah there have been some pretty horrific bullshit opinions about it

heaven forfend games be games

like I know I have specific tastes and critique some shit but I hope I never come across like any of the chuds

and so few people like... have any meaningful concept of how much work goes into making any game at all

[ionic arch]

thistle? wait. hmm.

[inner gust]

I honestly feel like I’m the only guy who dislikes elden ring, I don’t think it’s bad but I think it’s over praised and a lot Of it’s glaring issues are glossed over

[opaque sigil]

that sentiment does not go unexpressed

[violet path]

Ive been enjoying it a lot so far

I wish there was better armor but it is what it is

Ive been using the same armor set for like 40 hours

[cerulean sable]

yeah, rainworld is a game that i didnt enjoy playing yet i stopped playing it on a positive note
its the same vein as a puzzle games for me, its obvious when something is just not for you but you can appreciate it

but im not making a 2 paragraph essay explaining why if you like rainworld that means youre x/y blah blah or that its being backed by astroturfing bots

[ionic arch]

we've lost the simplicity of "I like it" + "I don't" + "alright cool"

[cerulean sable]

thats because outrage sells

thats just the case with the internet age

[violet path]

Ok but for some things, you gots to be delusional to dislike it

[ionic arch]

especially in gaming like more than other shit, people will be so infuriated if you say you liked something and then they didn't

[atomic sparrow]

GRRR

[opaque sigil]

that's not really true

[atomic sparrow]

I HATE RAINWORLD !!!

[inner gust]

The only thing I’d ever make a essay over is ghost of sushi

I swear that game is just praised because people hated the last of us 2

[ionic arch]

like not even a like "hmm, yeah, I'm opposed to what the story says about people and that's a no-go from me"

straight up like "HOW DARE YOU WASTE MY TIME WITH THIS CLEARLY TECHNICALLY INFERIOR DRIVEL FULL OF UNACCEPTABLE PROBLEMS"

[fleet temple]

I think a part of it also how people tend to conflate "I don't like this game" with "this game is bad"

[cerulean sable]

thats how i think how some fans operates, its not about Silksong releasing more so than it is the obsession with with a prosecution fantasy that TC will receive bad things in the end because...

[opaque sigil]

ghost of tsushima has really strong visual styles, the story is solid. combat is pretty bland after a while though

plus it badly communicates some stuff that can be a big problem

[cerulean sable]

i absolutely fucking hate

and i mean FUCKING HATE the phrase "wasting my time"

[craggy cave]

Silk?

[atomic sparrow]

song

[ionic arch]

and like Hollow Knight made a lot of choices which resonate heavily for me but aren't for everyone, like a badge to see your place on a map you have to find

but you sure fucking get tons of people yelling about how horrible and "bad design" and a "failure" that is... not simply... a choice

[violet path]

Like youre the one playing the video game dawg 😭 🙏

[opaque sigil]

it's applicable in some contexts

[cerulean sable]

like there are cases when games do intentionally waste your time, but that thing has been thrown everywhere everytime a game doesnt serve everything in a silver platter in less than 10 minutes

[violet path]

Anyone here fw cyberpunk

[opaque sigil]

I've played it

[cerulean sable]

sometimes games are geared to be slow burns

[opaque sigil]

sometimes but sometimes that's not done very well

and 'it's a slow burn' isn't really an airtight defense against pacing being bad

[violet path]

What makes me the most upset is the mfs with 10000 hours on fort and fifa finally playing a story game and skipping all the dialogue and cutscenes just to say “this makes no sense”

[ionic arch]

if "gamers" were even a quarter as "prosecuted" as they think they are...

[inner gust]

I mean I think some parts of hollow were made to be hard for the sake of it, I personally didn’t enjoy white palace

[ionic arch]

but sometimes that's all. choices. right? maybe not ones you like, but choices were made.

[violet path]

One piece fans 😭

[ionic arch]

choices

[cerulean sable]

but terminally online people has this preceived notion that a game must immediately be fun otherwise its wasting their time, and whats more annoying is pulling the "im a RESPONSIBLE adult who ENGAGES WITH A JOB unlike children who has TOO MUCH FREE TIME so instead of admitting the game isnt for me, i have to specifically mention WHY ITS BAD because IT DOES NOT RESPECT MY TIME"

[fleet temple]

90% of those people think doom is the greatest accomplishment of all time

[opaque sigil]

choices being made doesn't make the choices not bad

[violet path]

Maybe just game a little harder

White palace was freelo

[opaque sigil]

sometimes flaws aren't errors in execution they're errors in conception

[violet path]

Fr just put the fries in the bag

[opaque sigil]

white palace isn't extremely hard but it is a jarring switch in terms of what it's actually testing

[atomic sparrow]

what

fries in the bag ?

where

[opaque sigil]

wp might be less of a problem if hk did a better job of more widely integrating platforming

[violet path]

Mm personally i prefer it as is

[inner gust]

Yea, like no other part of the game has that insane level of platform that requires such perfect execution

[violet path]

I just wish they sprinkled more soul around so bad players werent FORCED to rely on hiveblood

[opaque sigil]

wp itself is also far less indefensible than the process of getting there

[violet path]

Because waiting 40 seconds in between attempts isnt fun

[violet path]

I mean its like the same difficulty as a side celeste

Not very hard

[cerulean sable]

be me, see game with incredibly detailed unit micro management system because the entire game is based around this idea of taking it slow and methodical
review is mocking it to be tedious and saying "games are meant to be fun and its tedious noone should like it"
me seeing it as a confirmation that its exactly my type of fun

[opaque sigil]

the essence grind is pretty dumb and there's no real indication that it's actually important to do it as opposed to giving you random rewards like grubfather

[violet path]

And its not a platforming game

[ionic arch]

but like a lot of it's subjective, right? I like 'em

am I wasting your time?

[violet path]

Everything is subjective

[fleet temple]

people when they realise not every game is trying to do the same thing

[violet path]

Well regarding perception of media

[opaque sigil]

if a game makes a choice to spend a lot of time doing nothing without a good reason that's pretty questionable design whether deliberate or not

there are contexts where that can work but in those contexts you need to have a reason

[wheat sail]

Realistic

[cerulean sable]

something something games has to innovative
(does something niche because its seen as part of the immersion or system at whole of a game)
no no not like that

[opaque sigil]

again the fact that something is a choice is not ever a real shield from criticism

[violet path]

Build fights

I mean fortnite is the best game ever anyways so its not like any of this discussion matters

[opaque sigil]

those games still cheat to keep empty time low

[cerulean sable]

i think the best case example would Pathologic 2?

its can be a miserable game because on top of juggling resources, youre trying to find the source of the plague while also making sure people dont die, but a lot of journos shot it down because its too miserable/hard and that its not fun

and yeah, thats the point 🥴

[ionic arch]

sometimes they're not errors

sometimes they really speak to people and were choices the whole time, even when unpopular

[cerulean sable]

theres a certain point IMO that sometimes tediousness is necessary if its part of your core vision

[opaque sigil]

yes that is literally entailed by what I said

[ionic arch]

like especially considering we're talking about the White Palace

[fleet temple]

yeah, again it depends on the game

[opaque sigil]

and we're not talking about wp specifically

[cerulean sable]

and having those systems is meant to put stress on you, kinda why people playing horror games despite fear being considered to be a negative emotion

[ionic arch]

but what's a good reason?

[violet path]

I got in example in rdr2, ive heard some people complain that the game has too much empty space in the world, but i personally really like it that way and enjoy the long peaceful horse rides between locations

[opaque sigil]

this is a potential good reason

[violet path]

Plus if you really dont like it the game gives plenty of fast travel methods

[opaque sigil]

another is if you're using random encounters or relying on stumbling across things

[cerulean sable]

theres this study of people being put into rooms for 15 minutes with a button
if they press that button, theyll get an electric shock

50% of the participants pressed that button over doing nothing for 15 minutes, (with one outlier pressing it 680? times 🥴)

[fleet temple]

yeah rdr2 is actually a really good example

[ionic arch]

but some people love that shit

[opaque sigil]

when it comes to discussing media you can't just say 'no it's a choice' as a way to deflect from criticism if something's not working well it doesn't matter if it was intended or not

[inner gust]

I don’t think iv done that yet

[weary tapir]

680 controlled shocks just to feel something

[opaque sigil]

ok you're clearly not interested in my point

[violet path]

They COULDVE thrown more random shit at you constantly just to keep you constantly entertained, but imo that wouldve taken away from the game in the long run

[ionic arch]

I love random encounters, I love a lack of fast travel, I love stumbling into optional items

[opaque sigil]

that's a pacing strategy

[cerulean sable]

yeah, RDR2 has tons of "the animation are too slow yada yada" or too much travel which is fair enough if its not your cup of tea, but for me sometimes taking it slow and feeling like youre part of the world is immersive

[ionic arch]

like that's not bad design to me that's design I enjoy

[cerulean sable]

and having immersion is my definition of fun in a game

[violet path]

Absolutely agree

[opaque sigil]

oh my god are you actually not reading anything I say

this is wild

[violet path]

I think theres a clash of ideologies here

[opaque sigil]

whatever not worth the attention

[fleet temple]

sometimes a game just isn't for some people
I personally like the openness of it but I do understand why people don't like the game for it

[violet path]

One person believes in complete subjectivity and another doesnt

Tbh discussion wont get anywhere

[weary tapir]

I don’t think there’s a point in getting petty over a disagreement like this

[ionic arch]

but sometimes the criticism is really truly grounded in "it's just not what I like" — which is why you need a wide array of views on it

[violet path]

I agree

[opaque sigil]

this has absolutely nothing to do with my point

[atomic sparrow]

games

[opaque sigil]

whatsoever

I'm just going to ignore you now

[ionic arch]

I am reading I just don't know what I'm missing

[violet path]

Although sometimes its clear people dont like it because they got that tiktok attention span

[weary tapir]

Chillllll

[violet path]

Lets calm down

[weary tapir]

Holyyyyy

[atomic sparrow]

🌨️

[weary tapir]

It is not that deep

[violet path]

Deep?

[ionic arch]

I'm not trying to be confrontational like I really don't understand

[weary tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/the-deep-the-boys-gif-26305579

[fleet temple]

I personally don't like putting that mentality on people but.. yeah

[atomic sparrow]

why is this guy named the deep ?

[cerulean sable]

yeah, there are rooms for criticisms, but please dont assume that just because a certain medium added mechanics that it was doing it intentionally to pad out gameplay or for whatever reasons when its often done deliberately for a tactile reason in the game world

[weary tapir]

The equivalent of aqua man

In the boys universe

[atomic sparrow]

so this guy is underwater

[weary tapir]

he can talk to aquatic creatures

And has gills

[cerulean sable]

wrong reply but wtv

[violet path]

Hes the joke piece of shit character

I meant

[weary tapir]

Admittedly he’s pretty funny

[violet path]

Hes the peak of human evolution

[cerulean sable]

i dont entirely disagree with the tiktok attention span thing

[violet path]

Youre just a capybarnia 🗣️

[opaque sigil]

it's a weirdly pejorative way of framing it

[weary tapir]

“I’m not kidding. I’m leaving. Fuck Ohio”

[violet path]

“Bro!? Bro! Bro???”

[cerulean sable]

its not an age thing but i do think this recent explosion of social media perpetuating fast consumption of content has impacted attention span to a somewhat considerable degree

[weary tapir]

I think the deep Ohio arc is my favorite thing

Like ever

[cerulean sable]

social media aggregates are the ones im talking about in general and not just tiktok

[opaque sigil]

probably but I'm not sure it's that directly correlated with preference for game pacing

[fleet temple]

It's more that I see the attention span thing being used in an old man shaking his fist screaming "these darn newwer generations can't focus for 2 seconds" way
also like some people have adhd

[opaque sigil]

it does flirt with ableism at times

[violet path]

A train pulled up

[weary tapir]

Idk how they did it but the newest season they made a train my favorite character

It’s crazy

[cerulean sable]

its not me telling that the new generation is just too lazy and stupid considering i exhibit the same patterns

[violet path]

Saaame

[cerulean sable]

its just that i personally do think SocMed has made it a bit worst

[violet path]

Thank God bro made it outtt

[cerulean sable]

rather than it being a root cause

[weary tapir]

I am excited to see what they do next with him

[violet path]

Its not a whole generation vs another generation

[violet path]

Have you seen the finale yet?

[fleet temple]

I'm not claiming that you do that I just see a lot of people do it

[weary tapir]

||The fucking scene with Homelander crying like “how could a train do this to me???” When he finds out he was the mole is so fucking funny given how SHIT he treated him ||

[weary tapir]

Yeah for the most part it was pretty good

There’s a few things that annoyed me

[violet path]

https://tenor.com/view/amazon-prime-the-boys-homelander-a-train-antony-starr-gif-26482967

[opaque sigil]

I mean yeah it's one of the headliners with the stupid generation war stuff

[weary tapir]

Yeah that whole scene

[cerulean sable]

just pointing it out because im touted as having some shades of being an ableist when thats not my main point

[weary tapir]

Shake shack?

Want some?

[cerulean sable]

just clearing up on that

[opaque sigil]

oh no I didn't mean you

[violet path]

Its my fav episode of the show so far except maybe season 3 finale

Kimiko and frenchie made me so happy

Just for.. yknow

[weary tapir]

Yeah I didn’t like how they handled starlight that episode or neuman though

[opaque sigil]

but the whole 'gen z can't focus' stuff can often lean into mocking adhd people

[weary tapir]

Had some issues there

[cerulean sable]

just clearing up misconception, because i am born in an era where often times mental disability gets either joked or is simply downplayed as "oh well just dont be sad/have discipline" rather than going for the root cause

adhd is interesting in that i do think its a case of the left handedness phenomena

[opaque sigil]

we all were that's still very much around today

[violet path]

The phrase “tiktok attention span” is just a common response on tiktok to comments that lack any sort of media literacy or say things like “i aint watching allat”

[weary tapir]

||What do you MEAN you had sex with the exact clone of me with all my memories that was completely indistinguishable???? Fuck you idiot!||

like really

Cmon guys

[violet path]

Ya that made me mad

I was watching the episode with 2 other people and we were all

[cerulean sable]

kinda like how left handedness or being open about your sexuality suddenly rised up conveniently when x happened
and a lot of former generations tend to throw the genetics excuse when its more of a case because society nowadays is a lot more open (relatively) to exposing those views

[weary tapir]

I literally was BAFFLED

and the show like

[violet path]

The show seems to be leading partially to the comic ending

Except obviously without the whole black noir clone thing

[weary tapir]

Tries to play it off almost as if she’s in the right

[opaque sigil]

that could be a part of it

[weary tapir]

It’s hilarious how bad the comics are

At times

[cerulean sable]

my mother kinda pointed that out that "oh well your cousin was gay and his younger nephew from another sister was gay so its probably in the blood" (in a non discrimanatory way) and my and my sister had to explain, no ma, genetics has nothing to do with it 🥴

[weary tapir]

It’s so over the top shock value garbage

[violet path]

I think she was just yknow traumatized and shit but once she came to her senses she pretty clearly forgave him

Not like he needed forgivintg

Hughie been through it this season

[weary tapir]

You can tell garth ennis REALLY hates super heroes

[violet path]

No nuance at all ya

[weary tapir]

He made that one comic about Deadpool killing everyone in the marvel comics

[violet path]

Also i do think its funny how on the nose were with the last line of season 4

[opaque sigil]

iirc there actually is some slight genetic association but very slight

[weary tapir]

Then went on to make his own thing with guys in black trench coats killing comically evil super heroes

[cerulean sable]

again afaik we dont really have any hard scientific basis, but i just hate how its sometimes used as fuel that "we cant have gay people because they are genetically turning the future generation gay"

like fuck off

[opaque sigil]

well yeah that's total nonsense

[weary tapir]

“Its Superman but he eats babies and says the n word” yeah real clever garth

[violet path]

Ya the show in contrast moreso uses supes as an interesting standin for actual problems

[violet path]

Im pretty sure EVERY single supe outside of like starlight is a terrible person and sexual deviant

[weary tapir]

Yeah he just HATES super heroes

[violet path]

Also all of the boys take v in the comics so the whole power dynamic which creates tension in the show is just gone

[weary tapir]

So he made them the most unforgivable horrendous people ever

Yep

[violet path]

The ending was at least a little interesting

[weary tapir]

They handle butcher well

[violet path]

Crazy and kinda bullshit but interesting

[weary tapir]

That’s really it though

[violet path]

||Butcher kills the boys at the end of the comic and i really dont think the show version would do that||

[weary tapir]

||
He kills all of them except hughie and starlight ||

Iirc

[violet path]

I believe so

The only thing ive seen of the comics is some videos on how bad they are

[weary tapir]

Yeah they’re garbage

They come off as just childish and spiteful

Instead of clever

The fact the show is as good as it is is

A miracle

[violet path]

Mhm

Thought season 4 was the weakest

But still really good

[weary tapir]

I did too

[opaque sigil]

it's also very much one of those things where even if there was robust scientific evidence for why people were gay and that could be stated simply and concisely, that definitely shouldn't affect how they get treated

[weary tapir]

The first 4 episodes felt like filler

[violet path]

Ya

And episode 6…

Why..

[weary tapir]

Episode 5 with Stan Edgar felt like the plot was developing finally and interesting things were happening

[violet path]

But the last 2 episodes were amazing imo

Ya i was gonna say that one was great

[weary tapir]

It was definitely my favorite episode of the season personally

With the finale being the second

[violet path]

The whole plot with the stakes escalating and the supes finally trying insurrection has been interesting

New noir and sage are cool

A trains character arc is awesome

Theres a lot of good in the season

[weary tapir]

I want them to explain where this new noir came from

Like how tf did the seven find this guy

[violet path]

Oh theres a vid hold on

https://youtu.be/GUzLsg4BrPo?si=ccwFz3nVUhjimrpN

Oh and episode 4 too

I thought was fantastic actually

Had forgotten

Where homelander visits where he grew up

[cerulean sable]

yeah defo

[violet path]

I wasnt even going to watch season 4 because it had been 2 years since i saw season 3 and i had lost interest, but seeing some clips from episode 4 is what convinced me to rewatch the whole show

[rancid elbow]

what are we discussing?

definitely not ss right?

[weary tapir]

Okay that’s fucking hilarious

[coral prawn]

eww silksong

[cerulean sable]

either how its concieved shouldnt be an issue, whats an issue when it starts being seen as some kind of disease or a "abnormality"

[atomic sparrow]

yayyy silksong

[rancid elbow]

what

[weary tapir]

“Pantamime is an art-“

[cerulean sable]

like its implying you have to "fix" it

[opaque sigil]

Yeah

Which is a big part of why people who think of it that way care so much about where it comes from

[rancid elbow]

@cerulean sable it says you're playing ss

[violet path]

I wonder what theyre gonna do with ashley

[weary tapir]

the show has gone completely off the rails at this point

Have you watched Gen V

[violet path]

Nah

[cerulean sable]

yeah and it says Battlefield V Soundtrack - End of Round: Provence but you dont see me listening to it either

[violet path]

I probably will

[weary tapir]

apparently season 2 of that is gonna transition into season 5 of the boys

[violet path]

I wonder of theyre gonna do a s2 before the boys s5

[violet path]

Oh

[atomic sparrow]

all mods have silksong dev build whilst the admins have full released versions

[opaque sigil]

You can make those things say anything

[violet path]

Idk how though

[weary tapir]

Yeah the whole virus thing was discussed in gen V

Like all of that

[violet path]

Because its not like they can pass time

[weary tapir]

ALL OF THAT Z

[rancid elbow]

ok

[weary tapir]

Was the plot

Of season 1

[violet path]

Gen v s1 could easily fit between 3 and 4 because the boys

Were fine

They were a ok

Doing their things

[weary tapir]

If u see how Gen V ends it may help explain some things

Season 1*

[rancid elbow]

whats that

[weary tapir]

sadly the actor for Andre died however

So he’ll be written out of the story

[violet path]

Ya motorcycle crash right?

[weary tapir]

Yep

It’s a shame he was my favorite character form that show

[violet path]

Season 5 is gonna end in a theatrical movie right?

[weary tapir]

He crushed it

[spare kite]

is there any cope for the community between now and winter games?

[weary tapir]

I hope not but I do have a theory

Here’s my theory

[violet path]

Sigmarizz

[grand ferry]

no

[atomic sparrow]

silksong

[violet path]

Holy shit im gonna be graduated by the time season 5 ends

[weary tapir]

||I think they’re gonna take from the comics here in the end. With the end of season 5 being the death of Homelander. And then the movie will be butcher trying to finish everything off. And the boys have to kill butcher. ||

That’s my working theory currently

[violet path]

Season 5 gonna come out the same summer that the world cup is happening

Shits gonna be peak

Really sad theyre doing the world cup during summer tho..

[violet path]

||ya i think there no scenario where butcher makes it out of the show alive||

[weary tapir]

||He’s too far gone he needs to be killed for sure ||

||Knowing the show they’re probably gonna make Ryan do it ||

[violet path]

||a train, starlight, mm, frenchie, and kimiko could all die too, realistically hughies the only one i think its pretty much certain to make it through the series||

[weary tapir]

||I don’t think starlight is allowed to die ||

Personally

[violet path]

||unless he dies by something butcher does, making him stop being evil and turning back into the shows protag||

[violet path]

||i would be fine with it||

||if they kill kimiko or frenchie though ima crashout||

[weary tapir]

||I would too but she is basically the leading force to hughies arc so if she did then it would probably ruin hughies too ||

[violet path]

Oh and hughies dads arc

Another good part of s4

Shot brought me to tears

[violet path]

||or it could complete it||

Who knows

[weary tapir]

||As someone who’s father died I got very emotional ||

[violet path]

I’d say a train is just as much as a factor too

At least in this season

[violet path]

||Aw man i could imagine||

[weary tapir]

I was not in a good place after that

Won’t lie

[violet path]

Hope youre doing better now amigo

[weary tapir]

I manage I guess

[violet path]

||hughie forgiving him felt like it completed some sort of circle, since hughies longing for revenge on a train is what kicked off the whole show in the first place ||

I wonder, what if translucent never found the bug in episode one, meaning he never went after hughie, butcher never had to go back to hughie, they never had to get frenchies help, etc..

[atomic sparrow]
