Probably
If they don't give me discounts like the last two yeah
I am at record breaking numbers for ungrateful villagers right now
like imagine a mostly silent show set in HK
i already need 3 seasons and an epilogue
Only one guy is giving me a discount out of five
Has deviating from an established brand of media ever been a bad thing for studios?
Like historically
I'm p sure multiple died off that way
I figure most people would appreciate experimentation and variety but I can't speak for everyone
Oh interesting
nah i'm just speaking in general, film, game, whatever
Like shows try to make movies or vice versa and those go to shit all the time, toy brands try to make movies or put all their shit into a really bad game and then never see the light of day again
Hmmm
I mean, that's a consequence of the media itself just being bad, it's not so much the fact that it's different
I mean if I look I'll probably find a good example but, oh here's one actors trying to sing and vice versa, fans just do not fucking want that sometimes and just no matter the quality they don't go for it
but i guess when you have a pipeline that is optimized to produce a certain type of content and then try to make something completely different, things will probably go wrong
Oh yeah, i'm sure that happens fairly often
I kind of raised the question because of something I see all the time
whenever someone pitches what looks an amazing and engaging concept or idea to a studio, whenever it does get rejected a lot of the time it's due to the concept not aligning with the studio's brand
And i'm wondering whether that's actually a valid concern or not, especially when the concept is promising by itself and can almost certainly generate an audience
arcane is the one true example that video game tv can be good when the people making it actually care
Never seen it
i former reg, now just a lurker
A reg is always a reg
talking is harder here now though
This place is a shell of what it used to be
But I’m still having fun
yes, it very much is
its just tiring ig to see the same yapping about silksong
as in the predictions for release
It’s gotta be February eventually
I only recently started thinking about the game a ton so I decided to return
Doing some stupid shit related to the game
im stuck grinding the main game still, burn out, play something else, de rust, grind, burn out, repeat
What’s even left to grind for you
Shit I remember my experience with that
been at it for over a year
You’ll get it eventually
surely if I do the same thing again and again ill expect something to change
insane
Fucking absrad climb jittery finger flashbacks
oh yeah and ig there is also pale court mod i didnt fully complete yet
And that one time I staggered PV before they jumped as I blinked and had their body crush me
there is also one other thing to finish my hk bucket list of insanity
low% seer asc
but thats a later problem
Pale court is so peak
They feel like base game fights
just an fyi, R5 is hitless 
I’ve done it myself
holy cow impressive
No recorded evidence unfortunately so I don’t brag too much
one of these days ill get a run that is less then 7 hits surely
how long it take ya
It was on switch
with joycons? 
dryya is the only one i really enjoyed that felt like it was from base game
When you get familiar with the fights more often you’ll start to appreciate them more
you can say that for everything though
Well pale court i feel like its different, I find ze’mer’s flow superior to any boss in the base game for example
Ogrim/isma duo boss is also goated
Those two stand out the most
All fun to radiant
ogrim and isma duo makes me question whether or not the "dont use ddark" rule was actually enforced or if the majority of their play testers were on the higher end of the game
because yes you can beat that without ddark, it is by no means a walk in the park and feels like it pressures you to do it on a spam level
I found the fight fun even without it
Tricky yes but its doable
hi
i personally dont like the duo fight
likewise i dont like how defensive i have to be for isma
Like sure there’s the two of them but just dont overthink it
the addition of adding seals on isma's fight felt out of place and just added for the sake of annoyance also
Its hard to explain
Okay that one I agree with
That felt more like artificial difficulty
I do like the idea of the occasional projectiles you have to keep in mind especially since isma herself has attacks that cover the ground
But i agree they could have made it cooler/better/more fun
hegemol felt almost perfect but there is something off about it that i dont understand, i think too many of his attacks relies on shockwaves
God i love hegemol
I agree for like one attack, the one where he jumps and fires the debris at you like a shotgun before landing
When he lands it doesnt feel impactful
Yet there’s a shockwave anyway
There’s also the shockwaves after wvery wall bounce
Again im biased so im going to keep glazing the bosses
no
Because they changed the fight since then- oh ok
i purposely waited almost an entire year after its release just to prove a point and out of spite in an argument
In the visual department I think hegemol could use the ze’mer treatment and get blacker outlines for his spritework
Because currently he looks uh, i dont know how to describe it
Its like what ze’mer used to look like
oh yeah the secret boss in the mod....no just, nope
Like there’s a difference between the false knight armor and the hegemol armor for sure
That one fucking attack
Its literally that one attack that makes it not as fun
that boss made me appreciate gpz as a boss more, it made me find enjoyment in a vanilla boss i once despised
Gpz is peak
that was an impressive feat they did ig
Gpz slander needs to be studied
it made me realize that gpz is actually very consistent after the hell i gone from that secret boss
oh yeah the platform section in the abyss, uh gonna be real I cheated and no clipped, i was not gonna do that
i would but doing path of pain changed me
First extra mask fr fr
the charms felt weird
not to mention how some being unlocked made no sense
The void one and jonis blessing combo, and also the rapid nail thing you get
Silksong isn’t even out yet and people are already pirating it
Erm it's a fan made
I was making a joke
O h
oh yeah i get that the theme was pale so the charms were also pale but I didnt like the color of the sharms
the charms needed more color
im just surprised someone faked a pirated silksong tbh
They were all samey yeah
i miss aluo, he made actually believable fakes
Did you know he got banned recently
yes
Lmao, figured I’d tell
RIP my goat
Yeah but I can send ennea art so it’s ok
the server feels a lot more empty now that he is gone
I know right
yeah sure he broke the rules...frankly i dont care if he did
Yeah but what are you gonna do
Genuinely the most painful ban I think
He wasn’t just any OG
He was like day one OG
im sure there is like a certain timespan where he can appeal but yeah
How would yall react If I was banned
What did he do
"damn, thats unfortunate"
Idk how the ban system works in this server but I’m sure he could appeal
"who"
Oh no! Anyway
Lmao
Wait aluo got banned here? huh
Yuh
RIP
Yeah crazy to believe i know
Funeral and candlelight vigil
He died doing what he loved
Nah you would be happy if I were banned
He’s gotta be E1331 right
That’s right I would
who is e1331
From what I’ve heard from aluo he’s just a ss subreddit guy
There’s no better troll than Aluo
This guy E1331 thinks otherwise. Which is why I suspect it’s him
damn, its pretty warm tonight
I was in one of his shitposts
usually its -20c
Mmmm, how relaxing
Its 36c here 
Could get a tan
Extreme heat warnings my beloved
i feel like the average indonesian would die of hypothermia if they were in canada on spring
which is like usually 20c
Ive only felt -5c weather
In Chicago
you went to chicago? im sorry for your loss
It was pretty nice I think
But I stayed in downtown
he got banned for saying a normal thing that whipped someone with an asmongold pfp into a blind rage or something
Northern russians/scandinavians getting melted when in the Sahara desert even during winter
Asmongold?
i would not last in sahara
That’s funny, I was there for that but didn’t realize he got banned during then
unless i have a guide ig
Russians go to tropical areas like Thailand all the time though
Cockroach man
i think it was like afterwards, assumedly in reality it was that along with him technically breaking rules a lot with the fake screenshots 
as funny as they were
He fought the law and the law won
asmongold? isnt that the guy that casually picked up a roach on his hand that was walking on his shirt and instead of killing the little bastard he released it somewhere
Wait by that conversation shouldnt i have been banned too
I was joking about the seasoning 😭
he's a weird loser zionist "anti-woke" streamer with terrible hygiene yes
What?
No hes a roach himself
Him announcing he would clean his room was an achievement
Among old the man famous for using the smell of a dead rat being hit by the sun as an alarm clock?
asmongold simulator, the platinum achievement is soley focused on 100% keeping things clean
Imagine streaming video games for a living only to still suck at them
HUH????
He complained about Armored Core 6 being too hard lmfao
Yeah guys this isn’t bait
Is this normal???
This is real
No it’s not
That was an actual thing and i have no idea why people still watched him afterwards
why did this reminded me of elon musk faking at a game
No I’m not falling for this no one could be that unhygienic
his most played game is world of warcraft, that's not the kind of game that really requires much skill nor does the little skill it does require translate to any genre of game other than mmorpg
Oh yeah he did that
So silly, billionares are so silly
You sweet summer child
Didn’t his path of exile 2 character die?
you clearly havent seen shows of people having mountains of trash at home to the point it becomes a literal fire hazard
honestly it probably doesn't even translate to other mmorpgs
he'd probably suck shit at even like
ff14
wasnt the show called something hoarders
uhh i dont play the game, what happens when you die
Hardcore game mode
YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE
Major skill issue
I don't trust anything from graig any more 🚬
label it anyways, don't want to end up like aluo 
Make it a different colour it than the rest of the text
also silksong fans are literally dumber than dirt they won't be able to tell
considering silksong was completely misaligned with the rest of the sentence no it wasn't believable
Hoarding is a disorder and a coping mechanism for people struggling with loss/grief so im not gonna judge people in that show too harshly despite living in worse conditions than a sewage drain or junkyard
Uncalled for but ok
Graig is enough misinformation by himself don't go editing him
BV is a beautiful woman
Are you trans
it still doesnt change the part that its a big safety hazard, especially healthwise
idk, is vurse american?
Weird question
Erm, why would Kermit ask such a question?
no and i live in canada actually 
House of leaves reference 
eyy another canadian
Oh so you’re american to be
interesting
Meese
Ok just bc that pfp is from celest (I think) and celest is kinda trans ngl
Yeah of course, but my question is whether or not asmon chooses to be filthy or is also under something similar, because using a dead rat as an alarm clock using the sun is NOT normal 
lmao
pretty sure its a choice
Celeste sector from Helldivers 2?!?!
uh how does using a corpse as an alarm even work
the game that the developer has explicitly stated was partially about their struggle w/ gender identity is kinda trans ngl
I didn’t want to describe it because this is a public server
yeah i just took back what i said
Not that it matters. People have definitely explained it before
Joker is literally Madeline
I think grover did five seconds ago
Anyway, at the end of the troll silksong trailer William Pellen said that there would be news the next day, has he said anything?
No such thing exists
i think you dreamed that
Label them or something very bad will happen to you
YOOOOOO WEAVESING RELEASED
did aluo make this one 
Who falls for these anyway lmfao
Hornet should have a tool that bakes a cookie every second
Lol
Nah Annihi_7 made this
too low quality
Cookie clicker 3
aluo is a master of the craft
Shuuu Hong Xiao!
Appears
It contain 4 boss: Mossy boy, Lace 1, Seth, and Carmelita
the greatest misinfo i ever did was gaslighting someone into believing they actually needed to do path of pain for 112% when they were raging
oh wait it's an entire fangame 
How dare you compare Aluos fakes to that scum
Credit card tool
By the climax of the ending of the game, if you still are in debt you get denied your save file and must restart
i regret nothing
Its Xiao hong shuuuu
FAKE ENDING
KILL THEM ALL
Actually it's 小红书
I should have known, I'm sorry
Praying they add gambling to silksong
It’s ok I’ll forgive you 
Praying they add fishing to Silksong
Actually wouldnt the rating be higher for ESRB? Unsure how that works
It depends on how heavy or how disguised the gambling would be
i believe it only has to be higher if it involves real money in any way
Unironically what if Hornet gets a swim ability
I will redund ss if there is no gambling
It was an unused idea for hollow knight iirc
She can swim but I assume you mean like a dive ability
Usually in-game gambling doesn't matter, balatro dev just got fucked over
Yeah, straight up sekiro unlocking
Beat some boss and you get dive, you can go to older parts of the game to find random shit
Hornet diving for pearls and fishing for treasure 
tbf it might be a different story if your ENTIRE game revolves around the base concept of poker which is inherently a gambling game
But that would require so much work I highly doubt that’ll happen
Hol up is Balatro still +18?
any news on silksong?
No
?sspsa
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. 
Too many bodies of water in silksong
The cake wasn't a lie! Check Cherries Twitter! The silksong! The Silksong is real!
of course not
Balatro doesn't even have betting
🤪
yes it does
@lone crown fuck you for getting my hopes up about fishing in Silksong 
Ok👍
you bet on your sanity
I doubt we’ll get it anyway
Fishing with Lömm the Poop Snail (there are boats in that zone)
The only actual gambling in balatro is wheel of fortune 
AAAAAGHAHHH
and glass cards
That would be awesome!! >:(
and the fucking eye showing up
And the goddamn eye
fuck the eye
What the fuck
Read my mind
This is why Balatro is bad i haven't played it
birds of a feather flock together
My fav is the checkered deck, I love flushes go brrr
Imagine fishing with Lömm on a boat in the barnacle zone, then you reel in a shiny item (like a regular pickup), but it’s actually an anglerbug and you’re fighting this deep sea creature boss on a small boat (you need the dive ability before this point)
(Lömm holds onto a piece of ship debris on the water’s surface)
Blocked for being too awesome
(Jk)
Kinda fucked up that you’re doing this tho
Gonna block you for being not awesome
That is ok
(/srs) /j
/idk
TC gotta hire me
“Trust me bro”
Order of operations bullshit
1 over srs times 1 over j
I have my bio diploma exam tomorrow, just remembered
It’s been 6 years in development and hk had a concept thing where the knight would be swimming so maybe 
Congrats!
congrats on being officially smart
Also just look at hornet, she’s definitely hydrodynamically designed
thanks :D but it's the exam i meant lol
Congrats 
Also remember that hornet has movement options we have scarely ever seen yet, hornet still has this unexplained air-stall hover like Rayman we can see in the Seth gif
They were planning this from the start
Idk… eight stick-like limbs doesn’t seem very aquatic to me
thanks
i'll do my best
can hornet run on water ?
You lied to me :(
Let him cook.
there's a non 0% chance you'll pass

Dude running on water would be awesome
Idk can she?
Can she surf on the needle
that's the spirit
How well would hornet do in water sports?
Does Hornet grind the rails of the citadel on her needle in an escape sequence?
Brain damage
For hornet it’d make sense
The horns would impale the ceiling and she’d be safe from brain trauma duh
Completely ignoring physics and gforce i know
Hornet would just get her two horns stuck there and never escape
Stealth 100
it'd be cool if there's at least an enemy with that gimmick
She could pry herself open with the needle surely
Say no more my friend
The uhh water spider things
Damn too slow
true there is a bug that does that i forgot
But yeah
I should be studying but i want to do more celeste chap9 
Repost but here, have every enemy in the game currently revealed to us
AHHHHHHH
Do you mean pry herself free?
OOPS
you forgot someone
people are so careless with spoilers nowadays 
Gonna forward the image to #hk-general
Mossdear my beloved 
my philosophy is if i remeber what was taught in class i will 90% chance do fantastic on the test
Who
why is lace on there twice
Two different encounters
True tho
They count as separate bosses
AHHHHH
HOLY SHIT
When the romance encounter is revealed in the next trailer will it count as another
👹 lmao.
If you count both laces as just one then we’ve seen 75, otherwise 76
i'll probably do a quick review on hormones because i forgot a bunch of those, but i've retained a lot of the curriculum as well
most of biology is just memorization, anyway
hey vurse do you have your own lore docs
And that number could actually be lower, a lot of the commoners might look different but do basically the same thing (walking), they could be classified altogether like the shroom husks in fungal wastes
Hey guys
i haven't really written anything myself actually
I should write a lore doc on pure vessel's dreamnail dialogue
“Low…”
“Taper fade…”
GUH
oh, dang, i havent kept up with anything new or updated in lore so i need a "refresher" but id be muted for spamming a flood of text with the amount of questions that would be/i dont remember all
oh yeah, I get why lore docs would be convenient to just read through, but no one actually wants to make those
honestly I think spending time in the lore channel is probably your best bet
You can never really ask too many questions
I remember that one time I was making a smash moveset for the most random hollow knight boss ever
Its actually peak
which one
You’ll never guess
Dung Defender?
enraged guardian
no its hive
hi
It’s a masterpiece
Its unfinished but still
Just noticed... There isn't a doc on vessel purity
I have a friend who thinks this guy is the most difficult boss in the game even after beating the second pantheon
He’s gonna love this then
did it get removed or something
one of my fav bosses tbh
probably read the list wrong then
yes i was stuck on soul warrior
Wow that went well
true
what did
I am kidding I got my ass kicked
yeowch
That bird got hands🚬
cuphead?
should i update my about me? i'll have to kill that grub but like maybe it's worth
no
can't you update it and spare the grub 
I wish there wasn't a limit to how many words you can have
i'm never buying nitro again 🐊
Chat LC or LC?
They are very diffrent games so pick carefully
Close but I don't own Lethal
thats a good question and i can answer that question
Yeah Lob corp or Limbus company?
uuuuuh well actually no i cant cuz i havent played limbus or lob
How is webfishing lc
read that wrong
Limbus has both hot men and women
Heathcliff my beloved
Why is he swinging around a shit bag
It's his iconic shit bag
"You’ll... get shoved in this bag too!"
oh no
Oh shit he has a E.G.O attack where he becomes a furry 
i too become a furry when my ego attacks
that sure is a sentence
no
What is it then
it's a wolf isn't it
So you're telling me there is a style I just got to brute force guesses
yeah!
Wombat can we ask yes or no questions to narrow it down
sure but it's gonna be hard because i dont got one
what if you do and you don't know it
internalized trauma
oh i know i have some just not only one 👹
This is bullshit they don't even have all E.G.O attacks on the wiki🚬
Doesn't even have half
better not be using fandom
Thats the only one😔
Never mind I found them I am just fucking stupid 
spoilers for canto 6 ||he also becomes one||

and so does the violin guy whose name i forgot
do you have manager don
I don't
how far are you in the canto
Idk how long the Dungeon is but fight against ||Sancho||
Thanks🙏
I have only heard the two first second I am trying to avoid hearing it before I hear it in game
it is way better in game
@haughty ingot https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/1-465-consecutive-days-of-mostly-no-silksong-news-i-spoke-to-the-sisyphean-internet-hero-thats-kept-folks-informed-every-24-hours-for-4-whole-years/ congrats man! They made an article about you
I saw!!!!!
You’re famous now!!!
DSN Easter egg in silksong
The goat
Like the spirit glade in hollow knight
Make it like Shrine of Believers
phoning team cherry rn
Just rely on God's guidance smh
Who needs God when you hane Ring Yi Sang
Dungeon like terraria
Get out of my sight/j
Amin
Uhhh
i just realized what ara’s server username is on here is meant to be smh
no i mean
sound out his user name here “D. essen”
oh wait
your talking bout something else
-# now chat i might be stupid
Huh
Did you follow a guide or engineer one yourself
it insists upon itself
It's cold and foggy here wanna change
anyone play bo path of the teal lotus
i love fog!
i'll tooth you kirbmouth
Along with microdusts!
Yes
Gives me nine sols vibes by the looks
is it good
Sadly I'm broke
@haughty ingot you Sisyphean internet hero
Its amazing imo
is it better or worse than nine sols
Pretty short but fun
Well nine sols is one of my favorite games so I guess worse
But still really fun
hmm interesting
also hell yeah 
what does that even mean..
whatever you want it to mean
youre insisting upon yourself
please, i just do what i can 
Ara goated as usual
Hi chat 
Id say worse
ah yeah i'll wait a while to play it then
It’s a fun ~15-20 hour game
Really good gameplay in boss fights and against enemies, the world is pretty and well built, the overall exploration, npc and story oscillate between fine and cringe at worst
I enjoyed bo but nothing besides the boss fights really stuck out to me as great
can't get worse than the average elderbug interaction ayyyy
I would recommend it as it’s short so you aren’t wasting any time
It’s not a big commitment
-# i have yet to play nine sols
Also the music is goated
nine sols is really great you shoulddddd
If you need another hand drawn metroidvania to fill the silksong void then it’s worth your time, but I don’t remember much about it ngl
Nine sols is peak, as long as you don’t go in expecting an incredible metroidvania and look at it as a sekiro-like it’s absolutely fantastic
I fucking love hearing that Indie games still are, for me atleast, the best type of games in the industry
i like both 9s and hk for entirely different reasons because they're going for entirely different vibes which i appreciate
I will eventually play it
But the game isn’t going anywhere
I’ve seen people complaining about parts of nine sols, not sure what they mean exactly (and I don’t wanna know cuz spoilers)
Besides the fact that the last boss is apparently a huge difficulty spike and has a no return point… which is… bad (I’m definitely gonna dupe my save)
Also
I think Nintendo still does pretty well with their stuff and I am a modern ff/god of war fan, but the best indies do stand toe to toe with those
?tag noping
Skill issue to those complaining about the final boss
the last boss isn't a difficulty spike if you've been learning the game's mechanics
it will absolutely take you a long time though
Mfw the final boss is supposed to be a difficult final test of the games mechanics
took me a week with around 3-hours per day and i'm bad at video gam
If it takes you a while to beat compared to the rest of the bosses…
Then it is a difficulty spike ?

saying it’s a spike isn’t inherently saying "game bad", but having 10-20% of your playtime spent on a single fight in a full game, to me, sounds like a pretty clear difficulty spike lol
i'd say it rivals nightmare king grimm in "it's like a dance"
This reminds of when I tried to S rank The Devil in Cuphead. Oh, the horror...
Free!!!
Every fight in nine sols is like that ngl, it seems to take a lot of inspiration from sekiro in that regard
it did not take anywhere close to that long for me
these people just have skill issue
the only parts of the game i dislike is this one tedious stealth section near the middle of the game with a visually interesting if repetetive boss
that and the pig in the beginning of the game is animated on tweens i can't get over that it looks so jarring compared to the rest of the game
Goo goo gaa gaa
The pig is funny, what area was the stealth?
||prison escape with low health and no dash||
narratively interesting i like seeing yi in a position like that
gameplay-wise ehhhhhh just let me get back to the fun part
so Silksong is dead guys?
Oh that, I enjoyed the challenge tbh and that boss at the end wasn’t the craziest thing ever but it was still enjoyable to me
no one cares
Definitely the weakest fight though
damn nobody even remembers what Silksong is 😭
No, Leth said that the development of the game is progressing as always
Yeah, not really news, but it's something
he is definitely lying
He’s probably not lying, he’s just probably not allowed to say anything else
Why can't you trust the literal PR guy 🤦♂️
I wouldn’t say it wasn’t good but it was the worst one in the game as far as main bosses go
I do not understand people taking literal days to beat a boss, like how does that happen
obviously Silksong is a joke, not a real game
because big red is pulling the strings
i'd really only say that for ||lady ethereal jiequan and eigong|| everyone else is pretty fun and i had a good time beating them though i wouldn't call them dances
Difficulty is subjective, some people just aren’t good at games and that’s fine. However I do get a little puzzled when I would see people on the sekiro subreddit say they obliterated their sleep schedule trying to beat isshin
got stuff to do outside of vibeo gam
same
Wow never heard that before 
I will not fall for this bait
||ji|| took me two sittings but that's only because it was 1 am by the time i got to his phase two
honestly miracle i even beat ||true eigong|| in default difficulty
r/woosh
That's because you're desperate 👆
mods can we kill this guy
Unfortunately the mods are dead
Not as intensely maybe but it is a test of mechanical prowess/test of parrying and countering in specific windows, rather than something like say a standard souls game or hk where the means of which you win is more open ended or up to you
I obliterate my sleep schedule to play games, usually just results in me finishing anything but games on the longer side in 2-3 sittings
I am not I am just bored of a unfunny overused joke
Corn stop engaging with the fisherman
don't engage with yeah what she said
Never!
Hello scarfie
Bro likes the bait
Maybe it's not even a joke who knows
Maybe messing with sleep schedule was a bad example cause I am up at 3 am rn lol, but talking about taking weeks to eat a fight is something my kneejerk reaction is to get a bit confused by. But it’s not a bad thing, they won eventually
I don't think having that many sols is a good idea
When is night with that many sols
we actually got this archer to kill the majority of them since they were burning humanity alive
why would you rage about the game bruh 🙏
The only genuine issues I had with nine sols were the lack of miniboss variety and some jades being kinda lame. It’s also not the best metroidvania but it excels at almost everything else it does genre wise that I don’t really care about that one
How many Luna
Then everyone laughed and applauded and cheered my name with joy
there were ten and he killed nine
Why'd you censor that name
Spoilers probably
most of the bosses in this game are a spoiler
||you don't even know his name until you know have to fight him||
the fact that this guy is even a boss and that that's even his name is a spoiler
nah i'd spoil
As far as names go I don’t think those are spoilers tbh, only their significance and stories to their characters are spoilers to me. Ain’t nobody playing nine sols and being shocked that you indeed fight one of the nine sols
the jade system was interesting because it had the player figure out which jade combinations to use to counteract the downsides which was a lot more involved than hollow knight
eigong was easily the best for me
though the xp one is genuinely useless lol
Eigong was top tier
lady e though
||2 or 3 phase?||
Xp, pick up stuff from further away, get a bit more money, etc
I completely forgot that there was xp before you mentioned this
E‽
I can't tell you how much rage that name fills me with
L i loved that fight
3 phase, but I will say third phase is way too easy
You can check the chat logs of this exact channel I spent years trying to beat her
they need to tune it up a bit
Yeah I enjoyed the system more than hk to an extent. In hk the charms are the backbone to the combat, whereas here the combat is already involved and you just enhance that already involved system with the jades
Eigong was the only truly hard fight imo
i think that's the point, ||yi is killing her and she's pulling out all the stops even if it kills her as well||
That’s the only one I took a break from
I think on my 2nd playthrough it was better because I'd already done it once and it was easy as balls but on my first playthrough I'd never been so mad about a boss before I thought it was the most wild untested bullshit
||she literally gets hit with tianhuo and then just sucks it in||
so it should be harder, no?
no ❤️
You:
I can buy that as a desperate last grasp at power she was far less concentrated and her skills were more chaotic
||She's getting weaker as the fight progresses||, think Sif from ds1
Real glorp
it was fun i like having to react to everything as it goes along and finally landing a hit on the real one was very satisfying
Yeah lady e it was fun to weave between all the chaos
like a dance but she's trying to step on your toes and headbutt you
phase 2 is definitely harder than 1 so that’s not really true
||eigong|| should have two health i think
Well then she realises you're not kidding after phase 1 and then realises she's losing after phase 2
Probably I haven't played it in a few months
And I never will again .
i like the progression from more subdued since she's fighting her own student then to actually hitting him with what she has when she realizes he means business then to ah shit i'm dying i have to do this all faster
anyway ||goumang|| worst of the main sols fights
I forget his name but I think the old guy was the worst, yanlou maybe?
yeah that was it
Yeah, again I dont think there’s a bad main boss in the game I think it’s definitely better than other stuff I’ve fought in other games but compared to the more involved sort of exams of skill that the other bosses were goumang didn’t live up to that
i really don't like that one either but it has more of substance than the former
I thought yanlao was fine
i didn't like the environmental hazards they felt like an arbitrary difficulty increase but i mean it's fiiine
the whole storage area is full of them it's a neat way to tie it together i guess
Can't believe I made the mistake of fighting that one miniboss before realising I had to ||fight it with the mech to the side of the arena|| I had to do an entire 2nd playthrough for that
The achievements suck
why must i sell the shuanshuan coin
I more don’t like him for like story reasons and for the fact that his boss fight was just really weird compared to the rest
thank god jiequan and lady e and everything after were fire
yeah him as a character sucks
Why must you break the shuanshuan pot
they write him well i like the subversion of wise old guy
i hear people say they dislike the fengs and no? they were fun
yanlou didn’t really have good buildup to the fight
he was just kinda there
every other boss (especially jiequan and ji) had great buildup to it
I thought he was a decent character, he was just another person who had a goal and got caught up in his own ambition and selfishness as did the other sols barring lady e
hitboxes were a tad janky but i rather enjoyed them
i thought the big crosshair section was a good buildup
if frustrating
it wasn’t frustrating it was just kinda lame
i love how this game makes use of irony
Ironic
stop it we're talking about an actually good game
The story and writing I have really no problems with, it’s banger
Oh my god I'm your #1 fan
OH MY GOD
Are we REALLY
better than hk lowkey in many ways
let’s talk about Indy games because great circle was surprisingly good
i absolutely adore how the whole parry talisman mechanic ties into the story, yi learns to go with the flow of things and become less reliant on science and the game teaches the player to go with the flow of combat
I think I ruined my own enjoyment of nine sols by going into it with the cocky mindset of "this is definitely not harder than hollow knight...pfft...." And then when it became harder than hollow knight I got mad and called it unfair
mad because bad as they say
are we talkin bout 9 sols
They are methinks
I will say that on a first playthrough, Lady E was without a doubt the hardest boss I've ever fought in a game
lmao real
but the parrying in 9sols tho
Eigong was not harder because she felt impossible at first and then she wasn't so bad
its so crisp
Definitely not an unfair game, every fight was really tightly designed
the combat is a lot more involved and calls for more different playstyles than hollow knight which i appreciate
not to say that hollow knight is worse because of this they're going for different ideas
literally just parrying
nine sols you're a seasoned warrior hollow knight you're a little guy
fr
you can inflict internal damage you can go for purely talismans you can just slash your way to victory (objectively incorrect) you can spam arrows
They were good in the Eigong fight to buy time for healing
That one celestial warrior fight in the area where you have to turn the lights on was obscenely hard and for what reason honestly
I actually had to force myself not to use default arrow to make game harder
i had this strategy of hit the boss with the arrow, take advantage of the skill tree thing that grants me my arrow back upon a triple-talisman and hit them with it, get enough qi charges and repeat
once you got into the flow of things it was really really rewarding
Also the ||first fight with the merchants brother||
I liked that one
that wasn't too hard
They kinda messed up with that shockwave stun attack
rare good use of claustrophobia
It wasn't hard but if you got caught in the shockwave you'd either die or lose a crazy amount of health
Just don’t get hit
holy shit
I am realizing that my video game play style is literally just Goku
"i hear this old man is strong, let me fight him"
Different talisman styles too
Goku vs the village alcoholic guy who's winning
i like how situational they can be with how you use them
not enough time for a full triple just pop em with a water flow
I did that for Eigong
depends on if the village alcoholic can use ki
I stuck with full control but all 3 had merits
His liver can absorb all damage and convert it into healthy vomit
so when are we getting nine sols 2 where you play as goumang in a wacky new new kunlun
second boss of the game after the first one was just a big guy, is a bit of the foil to the protagonist in a way, mostly aerial but uses thrown blade attacks
nine sols 2 wouldn’t even work
Nine sols 2 where you play as uncle chubby
narratively no but gameplay-wise i think they could do more
Dementia 
not to say that 9s doesn't do much already just hypothetically speaking there is room to grow
Idk if I can blame autocorrect for that one it just feels mean
we'd need an entirely new protagonist though
Maybe something in the 500 year period where yi was in the roots
weren't they all in hibernation
nothing happened
everyone a mimir
Yeah, wouldn’t necessarily have to be a sol protag though idk. I got no ideas off the top of my head
that old leader from the past
i'd love to explore penglai back before they were all dying
The guru maybe
We never actually see the guru
I don’t think
Or lear yeah they could do
the guru is heavily implied to be the shaman
Lear would work
she got scared from what she saw and she took up that personality
ji though
Ji ji
i don't know what they could do with ji narratively but there's some gameplay potential there imo
I mean ji has lived for an extremely long period of time, they could do a story about them from even before the turbulent era
Ji ji
now that i think about it the story has potential but i was thinking on a character arc for him
I imagine he’s been through a lot that changed his personality or outlook over the course of his life. Maybe have him grapple with outliving some of his loved ones or smth (would this be a semi ripoff frieren? Yeah probably)
I have no electricity for a couple of hours so i am reading about butterflies
Have fun
if they do do a prequel i hope they don't overexplain
a lot of things about penglai's history are left up to interpretation and i like that
you don't really want to see the pale king and the five great knights in the battle of the blackwyrm so much as you like to imagine what it was like
hi gays
Kitty cat 
Wtf swedish???
Thats me
since when?
Your giving me vietnam flashbacks with your weird greetings
Just me being weird though 
Uhm ive ben half swedish half finnish for like 20 years

also weird? ive said this like a trillion times already its common
Oh ggst anime
Why? The game's story mode is already only cutscenes
thats crazy
how's it goin
because ggst is peak
i made an awful shitty audiobook (correction, the audiobook was okay, the book was absolute Butt and Ass,,)
and i got paid for it
epic
thats time that i will never get back, but we get that bread
was this the book
Not the kind of why I asked
no, worse
It was only 30,000 words long and inexplicably 34 chapters with like 5+ perspectives.
the characters simply Weren't characters.
the fog was mentioned no less than 60 times (there was nothing special or important about it being foggy, its just that the book was set in london so obviously there must be fog all the time constantly and its so noteworthy that we gotta remind you that its foggy 4-5 times in a tiny chapter)
Any songers in chat
oh also Jack The Ripper was Because GENIES
did the slowmode get longer… 
was the fog coming
yeah big silksong debacle shit sucked
wait really
silksong is an ongoing social experiment with no end date,,,
been up to anything else of note
no dawg the fog was HERE
it came..
not much. Playing Minecraft again. got more Gender. trying to cope with the crushing reality of the political situation in the usa. played the demo for a cute visual novel that i might audition for a voice role in when the casting call goes out.
average aether activities
u know it
Ur swedish too, no?
Remember something like that I think
Where'd you get the gender from‽
got my friend into my favorite book series and they Hate Me for it (they got invested into it and now the Bad Things are Happening and they are Mad About It hehehe
)
Can I have some gender
they arent telling you this,,,,, but you can make your own,,,
it's self-sustaining...
Wtf I thought the construction and plumbing companies invented gender to sell more bathrooms
no they made it to sell less pocket
aether if you fw hollow knight sekiro and furries you should hop on 9sols
i have it on my wishlist I'll pick it up when its on sale

But Victorian dresses have the biggest pockets
piracy is bad when it's a smallish indie team who aren't scamming anyone
yeah girl thats why they invented Gender
otherwise ya go wild
pockets too big. had to cut back. marketing scheme
And then they proceeded to charge more than the clothes that kept the pockets
i forget when this was but at some point i lost the concept of gender
it means nothing to me now i am not held back by any of the constraints of society
SCARFY
very based tbh
SCARFCARF
Gender is the weird slushie people pretend is frozen
how is youeeeeee
i am SO peak rn because my idol purple amogi is visiting neoland next week
mrrow
i don't really fit into any of the conventional boxes and pondering it makes me feel things so i have decided i am nothing (non-pejorative)
erm, what the peak!
Gwnj when are you going to beat hk
come here scarfy

IKR
never in my life
hii gwnj 
Real
I recently had an identity crisis and am now unlabeled in gender
denial my beloved
nooo why did the explode
This will be your claim to fame in the hollow knight discord
The mod who never played hk
it was too pure for the workd ✊ 😔
😞
Denial‽
so so
denying myself the mental anguish of not understanding who i am by rejecting labels and conforming to nothing but myself
So you're just you
i dunno if im nonbiney or gender fluid or Something Else
like i kinda wanna get on hrt bc my body sucks and is boring and lame (no boobs. travesty.
) ((jokes on me, i won't have them even if i do start hormones. i am a two dimensional human. pure of heart and flat of Everything.))
but like. as for my Gender?? fuck man i dont know! i just work here!
Check the back for some gender
why do we care about that gender shit when we could all just be amogi
amogi live fearful lives of anxiety and imposterodom
sounds better than our modern politics i'll take it
I want hrt because I think it'd give me a better body template for who I want to be than being amab
chat supraworld STILL has no release date im going to crash out
Good luck🙏
Also what are breasts
Like I genuinely forget every 5 days that afab people tend to have breasts and then I get confused when they're brought up and I just find that funny
*i open the back storeroom door; those prank rubber-snakes-in-a-can fly out instead*
yeah i didnt see any back there sorry
are you thinking like that fop episode where everyone was just gray blobs
Wait what store are we in
Soup store
Are you soup‽
Yes
I remember when I used to hate soup🚬
My friend made a dumb joke so I woke up and chose violence

but fr peep my Singular Stalk Of Bamboo physique,,
That's an androgynous twig
