[harsh yarrow]

What exactly is IARC?

[shell yacht]

essentially a placeholder for all it does tbh

someone in here prob has the explanation sonewhere to copypaste

[frozen pike]

Yeah

Honestly

[harsh yarrow]

googling iarc gets me the international agency for research on cancer lol

[frozen pike]

How long do you think it will take until silksong gets outdated

[shell yacht]

its a niche metroidvania with a cult folllowing before it even released, so 120 years minimum

[harsh yarrow]

Ah, iarc is just a placeholder it seems

you submit things and they monitor age rating for you?

[open narwhal]

league is not here

[shell yacht]

i only retained the important part, that its not esrb therefore not final and means nothing in terms of release window

[harsh yarrow]

Or is a more centralized service for getting age rating across multiple contries

[tropic crow]

The age rating is not a definitive indicator of release date in any way

[harsh yarrow]

yeah

Though doesnt it least indicate some of the more important elements of a game are finalized?

[wheat sail]

the rating indicates its coming 2025

[tropic crow]

I think we knew that years ago...

[harsh yarrow]

huh

so

theres 2 pages

xbox.com/en-US/games/hollow-knight-silksong - shows ESRB rating pending

and

xbox.com/en-us/games/store/hollow-knight-silksong/9n116v0599hb - shows ESRB 10+

[tropic crow]

cool

don't overthink it

[harsh yarrow]

Im not

Just wondering what is going on here

[tropic crow]

game is still in development and they'll announce it at some point

[harsh yarrow]

Probably feburary 14th

some year...

[tropic crow]

yeah ok pal

[shell yacht]

dec 25 2099

[harsh yarrow]

though now Civ 7 is February 10th 2025 so

[tropic crow]

nothing's fine im torn...

im all out of faith

this is how i feel

im cold and i am shamed

lying naked on the floooor

[shell yacht]

i forgot spotify could do that i almost banned u for server links

[harsh yarrow]

Team Cherry just seems to like the date for big news, namely the reveal for silksong and release trailer for hollow knight

[tropic crow]

WHAT

[shell yacht]

[tropic crow]

you'd ban me 💔

[shell yacht]

in a heartbeat, well, not that fast im on mobile

Its not some old link magic

[coral prawn]

What could you eat oswald

[harsh yarrow]

weird microsoft stuff

[open narwhal]

a cornflakes bowl

[coral prawn]

😋

[harsh yarrow]

Ah, almost certainly a mistake on the one page, the actual ESRB site doesnt show it

[open narwhal]

why awake so early

[coral prawn]

Could ask you the same

I school

[open narwhal]

I have a hiking trip in school or something

gotta be there at 7:45

[coral prawn]

Oooh have fun

[shell yacht]

[open narwhal]

gn dream of /ban all

[cerulean sable]

ye i am in it, the Weavermaker

[opaque sigil]

iarc

[harsh yarrow]

and it does look like Hollow Knight didnt get a rating until soon before release
so, in essence- we have nothing still to hint at a release date XD

[opaque sigil]

https://www.globalratings.com/how-iarc-works.aspx

[harsh yarrow]

Yeah I read through that

And learned that it means nothing

[opaque sigil]

it means they made a store page which would be interesting if you ignore that you can also learn that by just looking at the store page

[harsh yarrow]

The ESRB rating on the store page is likely false

[opaque sigil]

it's not false

[harsh yarrow]

the ESRB website has nothing

[opaque sigil]

it's just not esrb

[harsh yarrow]

this does look quite like an ESRB rating label

[opaque sigil]

that's how the iarc system works it assigns ratings for those storefronts

[harsh yarrow]

Ah

So IARC is listing the pending rating

[opaque sigil]

no it's listing the rating it assigned

[harsh yarrow]

the other Xbox page lists the actual rating- pending

[opaque sigil]

if it's not the actual storefront that uses iarc yes it will say that

[harsh yarrow]

Then wouldnt it be present on the ESRB website?

[opaque sigil]

no

[harsh yarrow]

So

[harsh yarrow]

ESRB 10+ is the rating assigned by IARC?

[opaque sigil]

yes

[harsh yarrow]

Not by ESRB?

Well, not yet

[opaque sigil]

they don't even need an esrb to launch

though if they do physical versions they may want one

[inland ravine]

HE LOAF

[harsh yarrow]

Interesting

[inland ravine]

hello everyone btw

[stoic sigil]

He just like me fr

[harsh yarrow]

I hate age rating and copyright law!

because it means nothing for release dates

[tropic crow]

hi leth

[stark estuary]

According to the image you just posted Silksong will release within the next two weeks

Maybe even tomorrow

[harsh yarrow]

what

[tropic crow]

I predict there's at least a 100% chance it releases within 24 hours

[stark estuary]

It says at the bottom

[stark estuary]

Maybe

[stoic sigil]

I'm Leths EVIL twin Htel

[tropic crow]

hazbin Htel

[stoic sigil]

You will be removed first

[harsh yarrow]

where? XD

[stark estuary]

I don’t think they’ll shadowdrop it though we’ll maybe get a trailer like 3 days before so they can build up hype

[harsh yarrow]

More like 2 weeks

[tropic crow]

you look like helluva boss

[stark estuary]

Nobody really cares about the game anymore if they released it now nobody would buy it

Like maybe it would get like 100 sales

[harsh yarrow]

Hollow Knight had its release trailer on the 14th, and release on the 27th of feburary?

[stark estuary]

Yeah Silksong needs less time since more people are following it 3 days should be enough

[tropic crow]

yeah well 100 isss a pretty big number

[stoic sigil]

You're gonna look like a photograph on a missing poster

[stark estuary]

I mean yeah but of those 100 I suspect many will pirate it

Like 70 maybe

[tropic crow]

https://tenor.com/view/inscryption-gif-24621178

[opaque sigil]

I can't believe ss is taking so long I'm just gonna pirate

[tropic crow]

yeah but like everyone knew the game existed before then

[stoic sigil]

I'm gonna download a car

[tropic crow]

if silksong got announced within the next year it's not like it'd be a surprise

[stark estuary]

It’s not funny people are going to be posting virus links don’t you think about the children

[opaque sigil]

I do and I want them to suffer

[stoic sigil]

I am

That's why I'm making more virus links

[tropic crow]

the only way it can be a surprise if they wait like half a century and THEN release it cause by that point we won't expect it

[stark estuary]

Me when I google silksong free and click the first result 😔

[stark estuary]

Well it’s not out yet

Also you need to be looking at maps

That’s where people go to get pirated games didn’t you know that

You need a map to sail the seven seas

[tropic crow]

it also came with this hilarious reddit thread

[tropic crow]

using just the first letters of both words

that gives us SS

[stoic sigil]

Guys it's true

[tropic crow]

yknow what else SS means

Silk Song

it is a sign

[stoic sigil]

I looked at a map

[opaque sigil]

S is a common letter

[stoic sigil]

And found Silksong

[tropic crow]

ok sibiliance king

[stark estuary]

Silver Snow

[opaque sigil]

[tropic crow]

Blasphemous is on sale rn also dead cells

for anyone who likes those games

[coral prawn]

Mid

[tropic crow]

which one

[coral prawn]

Both

[tropic crow]

ok wow

worst opinion

[open narwhal]

hi I'm new here

[wheat sail]

Is that big nate

[opaque sigil]

dead cells is good until it's boring

[tropic crow]

hi new here im dad

[stoic sigil]

No you aren't

[open narwhal]

hi welcome to the server

[tropic crow]

yeah true

[opaque sigil]

which is all you can ask of a roguelike

[open narwhal]

it fell off so bad after 4 BSC

[coral prawn]

I had fun enough while playing Blaspheous but not fun enough to ever replay it

[tropic crow]

no actually my name is surely

[opaque sigil]

ok and how many hours in is that

[tropic crow]

ok

[wheat sail]

Roguelike a be peak gaming

[open narwhal]

I think 60 hours

[opaque sigil]

[tropic crow]

Noita best rogue lite

[opaque sigil]

noita is not a game you play

[stoic sigil]

who up rogueing they like

[opaque sigil]

noita plays you

and itself

[stark estuary]

Ok but what if at the start of Silksong Hornet goes to a monastery and the archbishop there suspiciously looks like the Pale King and he wants to maintain the status quo in Pharloom or some bullshit then he reveals he actually is the Pale King halfway through the game then immediately gets one tapped by the other faction (Haunting idk) then he disappears until the end then he transforms into his Wyrm form then you have to fight him and he dies unless you talked to him at least three times before the mid game then he

[coral prawn]

If hk was good ir would be a roguelike

[tropic crow]

like yagami

[wheat sail]

Omg this game is sooo good

Only plays 8 hours

[tropic crow]

https://tenor.com/view/keep-crying-light-yagami-evil-just-as-planned-planned-gif-26280713

[tropic crow]

welll i agree with this sentiment unless it's a really short game

like Tunic is great but I 100% complete it in 17 hours

[open narwhal]

why pk

[stark estuary]

8 hours is enough to 100% Metroid Dread like three times

[opaque sigil]

I'd probably fully dissociate that would be crazy if something that dumb happened twice

[opaque sigil]

because a game that gets boring 60 hours in is not something I would describe as boring

[tropic crow]

factor in that people's first playthroughs of game are usually long though

[open narwhal]

I've taken multiple breaks in between those 60h

The longest being like 2 years

[flat remnant]

okay but what if at the start of silksong hornet shit herself and exploded and the credits rolled

[stark estuary]

Yes but the joke is that even taking that into consideration Metroid Dread is extremely short for a AAA game

[opaque sigil]

my first dread playthrough was like 7 hours

[wheat sail]

How much is it

[tropic crow]

yes that is true but AAA means nothing significant so i do not care

[wheat sail]

1 samusmillion

[stark estuary]

60 big American dollars

[wheat sail]

Ooo chunky

[tropic crow]

https://tenor.com/view/outer-wilds-solanum-spin-spinning-nomai-gif-13075000199548789698

[opaque sigil]

honestly my complaint isn't just the length if it was just short it would be whatever my bigger complaint is the copious fight reuse

[wheat sail]

Dw Nintendo may do a 5% sale in 6 years

[tropic crow]

ok guys dark souls 2 yay or nay

[opaque sigil]

if you're gonna make a 7 hour game you'd better fucking not make you do the same shit multiple times

[stark estuary]

There are like three generic enemies

They come in different colors

And are mostly occupying very empty hallways

[opaque sigil]

and there's one boss that you fight like four or five times basically in a row

[stark estuary]

And die in one hit

[tropic crow]

and the price has got to match the experience

$60 for 7 hours means it better be a really good 7 hours

[opaque sigil]

I mean mgr is about that long and mgr is amazing, it's also a fraction of the price but I would pay 60 bucks for it since it's also a lot of fun to replay

[tropic crow]

I could pay $60 for a good 3 minutes and make jokes like Dr House from the hit show House M.D

[wheat sail]

If you like roguelikes you're blessed with the value

[tropic crow]

yes true

[wheat sail]

😇

[stark estuary]

I don’t think that the price is ever going to be justified for a game of that length with fairly limited replayability

[tropic crow]

everyone likes roguelikes though

speaking of

Wizard of Legend is on sale maybe

might not be anymore but it was

[stark estuary]

MGRR is much cheaper and replayable

[wheat sail]

WoL 2 out eventually

[opaque sigil]

I mean that's going to depend but arguably it's still a better time for money than like going to a movie theater

[harsh yarrow]

I dislike ESRB and IARC now, no sense to be had

Though it could just be Xbox's fault for listing 2 ratings

[wheat sail]

Or blame team cherry for once

😴

[tropic crow]

https://tenor.com/view/mgs-metal-gear-metal-gear-solid-solid-snake-hal-emmerich-gif-9782545391529290254

[coral prawn]

Blame every thing on tc

[stark estuary]

Movie theaters are also definitely a waste of money (by design)

So low bar but ig

[opaque sigil]

I'm just saying it's not really more outrageous than other shit that's normalized

[harsh yarrow]

They have the blame for not releasing, they dont have full control over the ESRB and Xbox pages

[tropic crow]

movie theaters are atmospheric though

even if it is dumb

ur paying more for a dumb reason but like that's the reason

and they have the audacity to play 15 minutes of ads at the start

[stark estuary]

Well yeah at the end of the day people can spend their money on whatever they want and the world we live in is quite literally designed to suck as much money out of you as possible so yeah it’s not that outrageous but it’s still not great by any measure

[coral prawn]

The ads are the best part wdym

[tropic crow]

https://tenor.com/view/hamis-gif-26341781

throw an emerald tablet at enemies for more money

[opaque sigil]

meh trailers are reasonably fun and they're a fine buffer for seating time and the movie actually starting, you don't want people filing in 5 minutes after the movie starts

[stark estuary]

I usually just watch the trailers and leave

[tropic crow]

ok those people are disrespecting their own money if they do that

[tropic crow]

ive seen someone do this but it is because he had a heart attack or soemthing

[stark estuary]

What

[wheat sail]

If the theaters got some masseuses to massage my shoulders and feet

Worth

[tropic crow]

no no no no NO

[wheat sail]

Nah you agree

[coral prawn]

They would have to clean those and peope that work there already have enough work

[tropic crow]

i will go to the theaters again if they pinky promise to have masseuses to massage my shoulders and feet

[tropic crow]

it was my idea first though i am silencing you

[wheat sail]

More people come for massage movies and then they get paid more easy

[coral prawn]

Sureé i guess

[stark estuary]

Remember when 4D was a thing

[wheat sail]

nope

[gusty stag]

I firmly believe the next time we hear about the game will be a release date trailer uploaded on Team Cherry’s YouTube channel

On a random one, not even as a part of any of these events

[unborn dome]

greater restoration and heal should technically be able to fix that

[carmine island]

[coarse leaf]

Do we have a ss release date yet?

[carmine island]

If we did everyone would know about it

[coarse leaf]

Dammit

I've only had hk for a month and already want silksong

[unborn dome]

112% the game and then play something else

[coarse leaf]

hk is best game of the decade and maybe best ever in my opinion

I'm 106% I think rn

[unborn dome]

debatable

[coarse leaf]

Does godhome mean anything about 112

[warped rock]

it feels like that on the first playthrough but im pretty sure they are objectively better games

[warped rock]

yes

[unborn dome]

4% 💪

[surreal needle]

real

[coarse leaf]

I like hk cause bosses

And massive world

[warped rock]

if thats the case you should try cuphead

[surreal needle]

i just like the art

[unborn dome]

play nine sols

[coarse leaf]

I've beaten cuphead with 250%

[carmine island]

Had you never seen an open world game with bosses before hk?

[warped rock]

cuphead is just bosses and its great

[coarse leaf]

No

Cupheadnis rlly good

[surreal needle]

agreed

[coarse leaf]

Saltbaker is arguably hardest cuphead boss

[warped rock]

actually its kinda mid gameplay wise compared to other indies on the market but its still incredibly charming

[coarse leaf]

In my opinion followed by the wild west cow

[carmine island]

Hardest cup head boss is me because I have a big hammer that can crush tea cups

[coarse leaf]

The mermaid

let's player I saw had more issues with mouse than robot

They have bullet he'll atks

[bitter sky]

bruh grimm doesn't have bullet hell

oblobbles tho

💀

[coarse leaf]

The balloon attack grimm does

[carmine island]

Pufferfish

[bitter sky]

it's a jumping minigame

[coarse leaf]

That's alot of projectiles

In my opinion bullet hell

[deep laurel]

grimm is harder with the wrong projectiles

[bitter sky]

small jump with 1 ball and long jump 2 balls

[coarse leaf]

Ye

If u have sharp shadow equipped

U can dash under and abyss shriek

[bitter sky]

does sharp shadow prolong invincibillity

[coarse leaf]

Because sharp shadow increases shade dash range

[deep laurel]

wait I thought we still talking cuphead

[coarse leaf]

Idk

[deep laurel]

yes

[coarse leaf]

I don't think so aiden

[gloomy hill]

Ew Sharp shadow

[coarse leaf]

Sharp shadow good

[carmine island]

Wtf

[coarse leaf]

In some fights

[deep laurel]

I think it makes it easier to dash through something like failed champion

[gloomy hill]

You literally don’t need it in any fight

[carmine island]

Sharpshadow saved me in the p4 final fight lol

[coarse leaf]

I think it shines against mantis lords

[unborn dome]

Grimm balloon attack but with crystal crawler beams

[gloomy hill]

Why in hell are you even trying to dash through Failed Champ

[coarse leaf]

FUCK NO MARIO

[gloomy hill]

Hmmm

Yes

[deep laurel]

I did when I first tried it

[coarse leaf]

I hate Crystal guardian

[gloomy hill]

Why though

[unborn dome]

when I get back to my desktop I need to make it

I have had a vision

[coarse leaf]

Enraged guardian is very annoying

[gloomy hill]

He is easy tho

[deep laurel]

because it was before I beat him? I can't instantly tell the best method

[bitter sky]

annoying, not hard

[coarse leaf]

I struggled a bit with the 2x dmg

[gloomy hill]

Well yeah but why would you assume a boss would require you to use Sharp Shadow to beat it or heck any charm for that matter

[coarse leaf]

Sharp shadow is a good charm

[gloomy hill]

No

[deep laurel]

I'm using what's easiest, I beat p5 with quick and deep focus

[coarse leaf]

It's like weaker desolate dive

[unborn dome]

I do want to make a hard type mod for hollow knight
I tried out some stuff but it’s gonna be a long time before I feel like actually putting in some real time and effort towards it

[carmine island]

What do you mean you aren’t perfect at the game and can do everything first try? Are you saying you have to use trail and error to see what helps you the most?

[coarse leaf]

U do an attack

[gloomy hill]

Heal builds…

[carmine island]

/j.

[gloomy hill]

1 nail hit without Strength…atp just hit him once

[coarse leaf]

M8 u lucky balder shell spore shroom defenders crest ain't int there

[gloomy hill]

Baldur shell has a niche use

[coarse leaf]

I think these are the best charms

[gloomy hill]

It’s called AnyRad Climb

[coarse leaf]

Unranked

Flukenest shaman stone and unbreakable strength

[gloomy hill]

Best charms

[coarse leaf]

Ye

[gloomy hill]

Wait

Do you even know how to use Flukenest

[coarse leaf]

I've seen in vids

[gloomy hill]

Oh ok

[coarse leaf]

It's strategical but very good when used correct

[gloomy hill]

Yes

[unborn dome]

best charms are fury, quick slash (especially the 2 notch one from old saves), and strength

[coarse leaf]

Quick slash no.4

[gloomy hill]

It’s called lqs or legacy qs

[coarse leaf]

Fury is a madlad charm

[gloomy hill]

Fury is op if you can do hitless

[coarse leaf]

Yes

[unborn dome]

it’s also the most powerful one

[gloomy hill]

1.75x damage

But you have to swap out NMG

[coarse leaf]

My problem with fury is like I said u gotta be a madlad

I can't do that

[unborn dome]

oh, and steady body is really good too

[coarse leaf]

Eh it's mid

[gloomy hill]

Steady body is so OP in Rad and AbsRad

[deep laurel]

really?

[coarse leaf]

It and heavy blow with with quick slash destroys massive moss charger

[unborn dome]

steady body is just good in general

[gloomy hill]

Yea

[coarse leaf]

Mossy just can't hit you

[gloomy hill]

I have been able to do phase1-3 hitless consistently on AscAbsRad bcs of steady body and face dancing

[coarse leaf]

I can't even beat normal radiance

[unborn dome]

for mmc specifically just use quickslash and no steady body, does same thing but less charms and no heavy blow

[coarse leaf]

2x dmg overwhel.s me

[gloomy hill]

Spell spam that bitch

[coarse leaf]

Abyss shriek

Shaman stone?

[gloomy hill]

Hell yeah

[coarse leaf]

Spell twister?

Soul eater?

[gloomy hill]

Only IF you can’t face dance

[coarse leaf]

K

[gloomy hill]

If you can’t face dance go for Twister if you can go for Sbody+NMG

[coarse leaf]

U are very good at hk

I have an impossible challenge tho

[gloomy hill]

Ty

[coarse leaf]

Tell me a way that glowing womb is useful

[gloomy hill]

No spells Hitless runs

And challenge runs

[coarse leaf]

To a casual player then

Not a glass souler

[gloomy hill]

Either it’s your only charm you have or just don’t use it

[coarse leaf]

I don't think that's possible

Considering it's in a hidden area and u need crystal dash and mantis claw

[bitter sky]

pretty sure you get a lot of good charms before womb

[coarse leaf]

Or insane precision

Ye

[gloomy hill]

I hate spike tunnel

[coarse leaf]

Sane

[bitter sky]

same

I just beat steel soul 100%

:)

[gloomy hill]

Congrats

[bitter sky]

thanks!

[coarse leaf]

What's your least favourite areas in the game I personally hate kingdoms edge

[bitter sky]

my game crashed during the brumm banishment so I had to fight nkg

[bitter sky]

howling cliffs or royal waterways

[coarse leaf]

Deepnest is also a contendor

Why cliffs?

Gorb and a nail art is there plus stag nest which means soul thingy

Waterways is fair tho

[unborn dome]

now get to 112%

[coarse leaf]

And I think u mean near flukemarm

[carmine island]

But you don’t need to

[bitter sky]

not an achievement so no thanks ;;

[carmine island]

Steal heart is only 100%

[bitter sky]

very forgettable

[coarse leaf]

Mario for just beating the game on steel soul I respect u

[bitter sky]

no defining things

[unborn dome]

do it to feel slightly better about yourself
plus godhome deaths don’t count in steel soul, so no risk

[coarse leaf]

Yes

[bitter sky]

I got 2 percent in godhome

didn't want to do flower quest ever again

[coarse leaf]

So u cannuse fragile charms there

[carmine island]

Yeah but what about the other 8 percent?

[coarse leaf]

Where is flower quest

[unborn dome]

shouldn’t be hard

if you’ve already gotten 100% it’s not much more

[coarse leaf]

Mario

[deep laurel]

collosseum is other hardest

[coarse leaf]

Colo ain't bad

Mario

[unborn dome]

Luigi8

[coarse leaf]

Can u tell me where flower quest is

[unborn dome]

hidden pathway in the resting ground catacombs

leads to a house

[coarse leaf]

K

[carmine island]

Toad7

[unborn dome]

then you have to escort a flower across the map to the queens gardens without stag or dreamgate and without taking damage

[carmine island]

@quiet token should I do p-1 practice or nah? Haven’t tried the level in a few days

[cerulean sable]

we should find a sewer village jnderneath the citadel

[quiet token]

Sure

Take it slow btw, every time you beat the level is a step forward

[carmine island]

Uhhh

I’ve beat the level once

About

5 months ago lol

:3

I beat flesh prison for the first time in 5 months 2 days ago so I’m basically goated

[quiet token]

Which is why you should let yourself get better slowly without restarting every time or smth

[carmine island]

Nah the restart helps

That way I can practice the staircase skip

While practicing flesh prison

Then when I can do flesh prison consistently I’ll move on to Minos

Eventually

[flat remnant]

triplets born

[quiet token]

I play piano, and a common tip in piano is that you shouldn't restart every time you make a mistake because you'll never get to learning the other parts well enough

[carmine island]

Alright

Hmmmm

Do you think that’ll be easier and quicker?

[wide quartz]

The throne awaits

[quiet token]

You gotta let yourself learn the parts by themselves and slowly piece them together, and before you know it you'll get better naturally

[quiet token]

Yeah

[carmine island]

Alright I do that

[quiet token]

Means you'll be less hard on yourself when you get a good run and fail at the end as well

Less like a house of cards and more like checkers

[carmine island]

It’s like 7pm so I’m EEPY

[lament lotus]

old man

[carmine island]

Did too much shit today

[quiet token]

Isn't it like 10 pm in australia

[carmine island]

No it’s 7pm here lol

But there’s multiple timezones

[quiet token]

New Zealand is the opposite timezone to sweden and I thought you were close enough lol

It's 11 am here

[carmine island]

No nz is 2 hours ahead of us

Well east coast Australia at least

[carmine island]

Well good morning

[quiet token]

Good afternoon

[carmine island]

I went into the city and did shit it was so boring then I cried for 3 hours when I got home from the crushing weight of expanding infrastructure that covers nature

That’s a joke it was only like 2

[quiet token]

Saw a construction crew paving some walkway or road in the city where grass and maybe trees were

It's not as bad here in sweden as other countries i assume, still sad tho

[carmine island]

the office place i went to had mints that you could just take for free and i took about 10 while the receptionist watched in horror

[quiet token]

I wonder how many you could take before they stop you :3c

[carmine island]

real

i dont think they cared lol

[quiet token]

The real horror is that you like mint (I do not like mint)

[carmine island]

mint is fine but theres better out there

[quiet token]

Only taste worse than mint is licorice for me

[carmine island]

real

the red licorice is acceptable but black licorice is evil

i have a mate that buys a brand of red licorice that looks like shotgun shells

ill try find a picture

they look like this but with one end that looks like the top of a shotgun shell

@quiet token did you know that the ferryman has more unique attacks than minos prime?

hes got 8 and minos has 6

only 3 enemies have 8 attacks being gabe, sisyphus and the ferryman

[quiet token]

p-3 boss has 10 attacks surely

[ornate beacon]

My "forget about silksong mechanism" failed recently

[carmine island]

that would be crazy lol

kinda funny how the ferryman has the same amount of attacks as the righteous hand of god and a prime soul tho

[quartz cave]

Which one is this sugar rush?

[grand ferry]

odyssey over its fine

i did with dartling + druid early game

damn bloon speed boost

[quartz cave]

[cyan forum]

[stark prism]

[lament lotus]

[umbral iris]

Ok matt

[kindred pewter]

[kindred pewter]

yeah I think he meant persona

[silk zodiac]

[kindred pewter]

I think so

[silk zodiac]

i gotta plan my day around this

[marsh spoke]

do y'all think reformed orthodox rabbi bill clinton will have another award nominated to him in this year's game awards

[inland ravine]

[inland ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/bfb-bfdi-gif-26433393

[kindred pewter]

GWNJ WAIT LISTEN

I know it sounds weird

but

black jack playing the knight is the best decision team cherry could have done

[inland ravine]

PFFT

i wheezed dw

[kindred pewter]

wait

have I been saying black jack?

I MEAN JACK BLACK

[silk zodiac]

okay so there’s a 4 hour difference between ror2 announcement and then after that gamescom starts ror2 starts 6am PT and then gamescom is 10am PT

[kindred pewter]

uhh

don't worry guys matthew got hit in the head real bad so his fault not mine

[weary tapir]

I think it’s cool we get like 3 major gaming events every year now

Instead of 2

[kindred pewter]

yeah

@silk zodiac I'll be studying so let me know what are the crazy announcements

[silk zodiac]

triple i, sgf and gamescom? or am i wrong idk much about gaming events

[silk zodiac]

will do 👍

just realised I got it wrong gamescom is on first then ror2 later

[weary tapir]

Game awards

[silk zodiac]

oh yeah

[strange night]

Tell me if anything good is there iirc

[silk zodiac]

they’re just talking about the games shown yesterday so far

[grand ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/the-kingpin-wilson-fisk-the-kingpin-wilson-fisk-marvel-comics-spider-man-gif-27081152

[cyan forum]

i was just happy they didn't go with that

[shell yacht]

i mean, in terms of horribly ugly or goofy monsters, i think we all hate the wolf bear guy, and poor frog is a tiny punching bag

i think loghtning rod cattle look funny too

[cyan forum]

like imagine if they randomly just gave Ray Dau the crown that the statue of liberty wears because MURICA

[shell yacht]

i like raylgun and the grabloids and maybe the spider

[cyan forum]

i like everything they showed so far

Lala land spider literally just having a rose on it's back is a little silly though

[shell yacht]

if its more plant than monster tho, like a cordeceps deal, thats cool. bc when they entered the area she called the tiny flower by its name

parasect but a swamp flower

[cyan forum]

interesting, didn't pick up on that

oh man, i'm very excited now

[shell yacht]

i was just hoping wed get a bug that wasnt a ""spider"" again so soon

like idk, what bug fits a desert off the top of your head

||bring over the crystal scorpion from the spinoff||

[obtuse glacier]

Ror2 dlc announcement soon....

[shell yacht]

theres hope of other bugs tho, the SwAxe trailer weapon looked bug crafted but it didnt really natch up with our new spoider

[shell yacht]

i thought it was all public already? or you mean another dev stream?

[cyan forum]

i hear that a lot. i will say that there are a lot of intersting frontier monster which i can see fitting in the main series, with some adjustments ofc
but i'd honestly rather have them make new stuff

and that's what i think they want to do as well

[shell yacht]

true, but if that means they just avoid all the stuff frontier already came up with it narrows the selection a bit. the spinoffs had wild(pun not intended) designs

SELTAS

bro i forgot that name for a full ass day

[fiery burrow]

Release date

[shell yacht]

oh so just dif flavored copium

[fiery burrow]

[spare fractal]

hi jumpy!!!

[silk zodiac]

alo patoo

[wide quartz]

Just had a nap and woke up with a headache :(

[cerulean sable]

honestly dissapointed in Silksong as a title it shouldve been called Wrath of the Rigteous now available on Steam

[spare fractal]

tacco why do you keep making references to games I have never played

[cerulean sable]

i think the bigger problem is why havent you played the games ive referenced

[spare fractal]

because funny ball rolling game

[cerulean sable]

thatsa you issue

cant keep this up

[wide quartz]

The real question is why do you play games and not walk up tibet

[silk zodiac]

@strange night @kindred pewter nothing crazy imo after watching the entire thing, but here are two games that I don't think were ever mentioned before the livestream being announced that caught my attention

[cerulean sable]

you gotta expand your taste, gotta play incredibly deep underground niche classics like Warhammer 40K Inquisitor Martyr

[silk zodiac]

or any nitrome flash game

[wheat sail]

we are the gods of the new world order

[spare fractal]

b-but half life 2...

and katamari...

[wide quartz]

Human

I know your

[cerulean sable]

you gotta play MMOD man

its the only way

i actually need to replay HL2 with MMOD but my only issue now is in terms of graphics, HL2 kinda suffers in the level geometry

it definitely feels jagged but on the flipside outside of the aged old lower texture resolutions, the game manages to hold up really well

artstyle and lighting goes a long way

oh and the atmosphere too ofc

[opaque sigil]

I honestly don't mind the textures that much tbh

[strange night]

I see gambling bot I buy

[wheat sail]

blackjack lame\

[cerulean sable]

ive played way too much HL2 games that it doesnt bother me that much either but its definitely in my list of "the next thing id graphically enhance" in the list
also speaking of HL2, Black Mesa's Blast Pit to On The Rail heavy use of glowing orange lights and darker environments keeps connecting to those Citadel screenshots from Silksong in my memory

This image in particular

[grand ferry]

on the rail

[cerulean sable]

i kinda like on the rail

the uncut one even from the original HL

[grand ferry]

is there any way to avoid damage from vehicle drop when the people drop you off with a magnet
