why are you green?
are you moldy?

[quartz cave]

Have you never seen mold this is radioactive green

[sly scaffold]

yes

[rustic quail]

I actually voice the silk in silksong guys I can confirm the game will release within 100 years from now

[next pier]

thats what the mold in my house looks like

[coarse leaf]

what the fuck is that

[sly scaffold]

mageling moment

[wet lotus]

My child ❤️

[valid sable]

Is the percentage in your name how gay you are

[sly scaffold]

sure

[wet lotus]

No because Im 110% gay

[wheat sail]

y are you gey

[foggy ledge]

I don’t think the VA is real at all and I think it’s stupid it’s gotten to this point, but he didn’t say he was fake. There is a new post on it from what I’ve seen

[leaden delta]

oh gays

[oblique musk]

Fr tho why do you only have 109%? What 3 are you missing?

[steady raven]

One if the million things that makes me skeptical of the whole thing is why the hell would TC have an entire legal team like this guy says

[trim estuary]

where did you get the legal team thing from

[steady raven]

The scam guy said he was messaged by a "legal team"

Iirc

[wet tulip]

the guy never said team cherry has a legal team, the guy that decided to scare him on purpose said that as a lie

[steady raven]

Ah

[trim estuary]

this is all they said

[foggy ledge]

Why would he get scared of a random guy messaging him though

[trim estuary]

oh wait

[wet tulip]

there is a new post

[trim estuary]

i missed the new one

[foggy ledge]

Like wouldn’t the legal team, if he was being real, contact him personally or something?

[umbral ether]

what is going on now

[foggy ledge]

It’s so bs imo

[lone crown]

Erm label your fakes 🤓

[steady raven]

Second question, if this guy supposedly works for TC why would he be getting a reddit message from his employer? Why wouldn't they just hit him up?

Unless, of course, this whole thing is a lie but that's definitely not the case

[foggy ledge]

Exactly my point

[wet tulip]

the guy literally got doxxed, someone got as far to get his real life name and scare him with fake legal reasons, it doesn't matter if the guy is a troller or not, this is fucked up

[umbral ether]

the hell

[fiery burrow]

r/Silksong sucks

[steady raven]

Okay that's new

[fiery burrow]

They're not strangers to stalking people

[lone crown]

This is the fakest shit ever, I recommend not entertaining the thought of the posts at all (let alone all of r/Silksong) and think about something else like idk cereal or something

[trim estuary]

i think it was probably someone trolling (and e-stalking) them or they themself are trolling

[warped rock]

the silksong reddit is downright pathetic i'd say

[steady raven]

I just recently learned about the random guy who met Ari Gibson in a cafe and they talked for 90 seconds

That's cool

Why did cafe autocorrect to capitalized

[sly scaffold]

I think 2 of the pantheons and smth else

[carmine island]

Me when developers of games have lives outside of making games (unbelievable)

[surreal zinc]

Counter troll??? https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/s/hYKXT5huXZ

[steady raven]

Ari told the guy in the cafe "soon" which means at some point before we all die of old age

[warped rock]

fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, fiddle dee dee

[wet tulip]

this one has to be fake

[shell yacht]

It's called bullshitting a bullshitter

[foggy ledge]

Lmao

That subreddit is in shambles

[surreal zinc]

Right? Like they say they get “handed lines” but it doesn’t make any sense for TC to write down gibberish for VA’s to read

[steady raven]

R/silksong is buried in 90 layers of irony

[ripe cliff]

just found out Fish In A Birdcage is coming to my town

[steady raven]

I'd love to see a laminated script that says "ayup bawawawa skidop ooop"

[surreal zinc]

I never finished that third album…maybe I should

[fiery burrow]

Me looking down at my voice acting lines only to see "burenyuuuuu"

[young saffron]

The sun rises once again

Gm

[trim estuary]

Ok this is pretty funny

[lone crown]

But no….!!!!! How could they!???!?
They’re supposed to be finishing our game!! We paid money for their work and this is how they treat us?? They would be nothing without us… I say we rally together outside their office and DEMAND our release date!!! And if they don’t comply we’ll pirate their game!!!!!!!!

[carmine island]

Id probably say that too if I was just eating in a cafe and some random guy came up to me asking about the game I’ve been working on

[surreal zinc]

If they give any specific lines it would probably be like Sly’s geo line

[steady raven]

The guy didn't ask (according to him at least) Ari brought it up on his own

The guy (supposedly) just said he was a fan

[young saffron]

This is a good sign

[carmine island]

And you believe that?

[steady raven]

Not really

[fiery burrow]

Pirating is too kind. Make sure to leave a negative review for Hollow Knight saying "This is the best game I've played but the dev team's behaviour is unacceptable."
Scathing.

[ripe cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/puss-in-boots-puss-in-boots-wolf-wolf-whistle-whistle-bar-gif-27359330

[surreal zinc]

Kinda sorta

[lone crown]

[steady raven]

There's a nonzero chance the guy saw the clout the fake VA was getting, booted up chatgpt and photoshop and made a fake pic of him and Ari

[lone crown]

Wait what if i put it in an ai detector

[carmine island]

He did what?

[surreal zinc]

The guy met Ari during the case situation tho

[steady raven]

That's just something I can see happening, especially since this has been a weird week in the Hollow Knight community and nothing sounds to far fetched anymore.

People came very close to making a cult based off a picture of cake

[harsh yarrow]

what happened now...

[surreal zinc]

I know this is ironic but weren’t there only like 3k backers? And didn’t TC spend literally all of the money by the time HK finished?

[carmine island]

Oh ok

[harsh yarrow]

did someone make another shitpost?

[carmine island]

They’re always making shitposts

[harsh yarrow]

Another stupid one disgused as news*

thats not clearly labeled as a shitpost

[steady raven]

Someone supposedly met Ari Gibson in a cafe and Ari said silksong was coming "soon" without even being asked

[fiery burrow]

yeah and they're PISSED

[harsh yarrow]

Link?

[fiery burrow]

I mean I would be too if the DLC I paid for became an entire game I got for free

[lone crown]

They released early because they couldnt finish

And all the free hk content updates were the promised backer shit and more

There’s still backer content yet to be added thats planned in Silksong

Sharpe is backer content

But he has a significant role

There’s also an entire backer village in silksong

Full of npcs and quests

[limber oak]

wasn't there like a lighthouse boss that wasn't added?

[steady raven]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/1i42wln/met_ari_gibson_a_few_days_ago/

It's a bit more reputable because it's on r/hollowknight and that place has actual mods that would've seen this shit and verified it

[lone crown]

That one was just cut content related to the abyss expansion which never happened since the stretch goal wasnt reached

[limber oak]

mb

[steady raven]

Didn't occur to me until now that Ari Gibson is roughly 13 feet tall

[fiery burrow]

thank god

[wheat sail]

ayo

[fiery burrow]

Abyss expansion would be mid

[harsh yarrow]

Nah, would be interesting

if you did it with a rewrite of the game and redesign of the map :3

[surreal zinc]

I think it could’ve been pretty cool and set up the Shade Lord better

[fiery burrow]

No it wouldn't have

[harsh yarrow]

Oh shit

[carmine island]

Genuine question where the hell are they? I’ve been looking at this photo for a bit and have no clue what this building would be used for

[harsh yarrow]

if thats a photoshopped pic its a damn good one

[lone crown]

Fuck you (creates a bench out of your siblings)

[fiery burrow]

Shade Lord is set up plenty fine with Voidheart

[steady raven]

The kickstarter did say "solve the mystery of the colloseum" and that would've been interesting since AFAIK that place has no mysteries

[surreal zinc]

6 days ago, didn’t the VA first come up after that?

[harsh yarrow]

I really, really, want to do a Silksong mod when it comes out

[steady raven]

Cafe

[umbral ether]

is that a actual bench

[fiery burrow]

This kind of goofiness would've been very bizarre tonally

[harsh yarrow]

And do my own take on Hallownest and its lore

[steady raven]

Somewhere in Adelaide

[harsh yarrow]

Maybe do it as Horent idk

[lone crown]

Cut content

[umbral ether]

oh that would be funny and messed up

[harsh yarrow]

Mix elements of Silksong in, and cut content from the base game

[lone crown]

Yeah probably why it was removed lmao

[lone crown]

Like swimming

Diving

[steady raven]

I'd worry about some poor bastards horn stabbing my ass when I sat down

[fiery burrow]

When it comes to the abyss I think less is more

Its a very focused and linear story moment

[lone crown]

I like abyss the way it is tbh

[carmine island]

No I think it was just concept art

[ripe cliff]

perhaps it could've been executed in a way that doesn't shatter the tone and adds to it instead? I don't know

[stoic sigil]

Person below me will meet Jack Vine

[lone crown]

Me

[harsh yarrow]

Nah, not swimming

I dislike water levels

[fiery burrow]

I'm talking about the bench

[opaque sigil]

Abyss dlc would 1000% have ruined void

[stoic sigil]

RIP

[lone crown]

Yes swimming, hornet would look elegant swimming

[harsh yarrow]

Even though Hallownest has the best swim instructors

[leaden delta]

maybe there could’ve been one or two things in abyss but I think it’s size is perfect rn

[pearl arch]

the urge to make a throwaway account and bait r/silksong with completely unsubstantiated bullshit is IMMENSE

[umbral ether]

we still swim in hollow knight

[lone crown]

Found the va person

[leaden delta]

If anything I think those resources could’ve gone to ke or basin

[steady raven]

Now those idiots are on guard after the VA incident

[umbral ether]

we just don't go underwater/acid

[pearl arch]

in a week we ride

[lone crown]

No i mean full on dive

[pearl arch]

they have a short attention span

[surreal zinc]

Wouldn’t work unless Silksong doesn’t release for another two years and you use the account regularly

[leaden delta]

please commit

[surreal zinc]

And dementia apparently. I still don’t get the whole “no communication in 6 years” thing

[lone crown]

Let Hornet grab the shinespark and have her run on water

[oblique musk]

So you mean to say it would work perfectly?

[pearl arch]

tHinK oF THe baCKErs!!!! (no backer has ever made this statement)

[brittle garnet]

I mean they did communicate in 6 years

[ripe cliff]

I know, maybe I'm reaching but if the 'bench' was just like, a natural pileup of Vessel corpses, resting atop them could have been made out to be symbolic somewhat?

[marsh ibex]

Misinformation

[stoic sigil]

Someone should do the VA bait but actually include recorded lines

[leaden delta]

YA

[lone crown]

If there genuinely was no communication in 6 years, all the crashouts over TC would have been a lot more understandable

[pearl arch]

tbf it's basically been "we're not dead" for the last 2 years

[lone crown]

But that couldnt be further from the case lmao

[charred void]

are you actually barrack obam

[pearl arch]

yes

[surreal zinc]

I guess they think blog posts are the only things that count as communication

[charred void]

omg

[lone crown]

I mean what else would you want them to announce

[pearl arch]

please consult my post on r/silksong, of course

[lone crown]

A development timeline or something?

[charred void]

tease a new area / enemy / mechanic / whatever

[lone crown]

Their style is just add shit whenever the fuck they want

[brittle garnet]

No, bad

[lone crown]

We’ve seen way too much of the game already

[brittle garnet]

No spoilers

[opaque sigil]

That would definitely be a disaster remember the last time they had a speculative date

[fiery burrow]

I don't care about news I'm upset they haven't given me a shoutout or free merch

[lone crown]

Oh yeah

[opaque sigil]

crazy how many people immediately after the window demanded another window

[surreal zinc]

Little gifs like the ones we got from the ARGs and a “we’re working :)”

[brittle garnet]

Thats meaningless, tho

The "we're working"

[umbral ether]

at least it is not cancelled

[brittle garnet]

Gifs would just be more spoilers

[opaque sigil]

they do the 'we're working' thing nobody cares

[outer cliff]

I don’t see what any more information about the game would accomplish, there’s no need to keep up hype

[umbral ether]

and they are actully doing something

[fiery burrow]

IGN does

[brittle garnet]

Nobody in their right mind ever seriously thought the game was cancelled

[surreal zinc]

Better than nothing and still secretive enough to not be full spoilers

[fiery burrow]

They could do the opposite like "We've stopped working on it" during weekends or something

[opaque sigil]

they're spoilers and they provide no benefit

[brittle garnet]

Except the numerous other times where that wasnt reported on

[surreal zinc]

For some reason some people did after Earthblade got canceled lol

[outer cliff]

Guys we left silksong in the oven overnight, gonna have to start over

[brittle garnet]

I said nobody in their right mind

:)

[fiery burrow]

RIP unnamed Celeste sequel

[formal karma]

normies always saying how worried they are it gets cancelled

[oblique musk]

I mean, yeah, you usually give another one. When Nintendo announced that Tears of the Kingdom (then only known as BotW2) would be delayed, they gave us the year it had been delayed to. Not the day, not even the month, the year. Lo and behold, that was the year it came out. Usually when you delay a game, you say when it has been delayed to.

[formal karma]

or "what if cyberpunk"

[opaque sigil]

no you don't give another one when you don't have another one

[fiery burrow]

why was totk delayed do we know

[outer cliff]

Multi-billion dollar companies can more comfortably plan release windows than small indie teams anyway

[brittle garnet]

Nintendo and botw are not comparable to team cherry. Giant games with huge budgets have time constraints, even a delay has a limited scope, and AAA games in big studios have to follow deadlines.

[cedar trench]

Scandal: mistress finds french politician in bed with wife

[brittle garnet]

Its less that they plan them and more that they are forced to finish the game within a certain timeframe

[outer cliff]

I actually find it strange how long that game spent in development with how much it builds upon botw

[cedar trench]

It has so much bullshit in it

[opaque sigil]

given how much shit it adds? why

[fiery burrow]

I guess that makes sense they've showcased some very funny bugs early in development

[opaque sigil]

not strange at all

[umbral ether]

i mean they kind added a entire new map underneath it

[fiery burrow]

https://youtu.be/N-dPDsLTrTE?t=656

[cedar trench]

There's like 3 overworlds a building system the entire concept of fusion

[steady raven]

If you want a "we're working" just find Ari in a bakery and he'll tell you

[brittle garnet]

Like, team cherry being able to just work on the game until they want to decide its finished is not something that larger, commercial studios can afford at all

[outer cliff]

I felt it didn’t add that much shit at all. The whole physics building stuff was probably a lot of work but the rest of the game felt like throwing a new coat of paint on botw.

[cedar trench]

And the entire map has to be overhauled

[opaque sigil]

they're working we know they're working pretending otherwise to try to argue on behalf of actually just wanting a release date is dishonest don't do it

[fiery burrow]

If the game shipped like this it would've been a 10/10

[cedar trench]

https://tenor.com/view/boy-slow-down-gif-1553393472881478985

[fiery burrow]

I think the new quests shrines and dungeons were enough

[steady raven]

It's great for them because they get full creative freedom and can make the game to their liking. It's a bit less great when on our end it looks like the game has been delayed for 18 months just because

[brittle garnet]

I also dont like when people say "well other developers do X so team cherry should too"

[oblique musk]

Exactly. If you just want a release date, just argue for a release date. Like me.

[young saffron]

Dusty office

[umbral ether]

i predict silksong is coming out either this year or next year

[opaque sigil]

[cedar trench]

I'm going to spam ping leth and ask him where game something will happen eventually

[young saffron]

But but free pins

Those pins look so cool

[cedar trench]

They prolly work from home

[steady raven]

Mods will have an aneurysm if that counts as something happening

[cedar trench]

Since quarantinr

[young saffron]

No they went into hiding

[cedar trench]

Sure

[outer cliff]

They were definitely enough but the whole map, main gameplay and quest system being the same feels like it shouldn’t take that long, though I’m probably just underestimating the whole new physics thing. It was the part of the game I liked interacting with the least anyway, so I might not understand the full scope of it.

[cedar trench]

From the fans who go to the office unprompted

[stark estuary]

How do you know they’re working did you ask them

[oblique musk]

Eh, doubtful. I feel like if they could release within 2 years, they would be able to tell us by now.

[young saffron]

Very possible

[stark estuary]

Lazy TC

[brittle garnet]

They dont, but like, they can just not have cleaned it

[opaque sigil]

this is demonstrably false because the release window was missed

[steady raven]

The one thing that makes me wonder about development is TCs Asmongold looking office.

Either it's abandoned or they've been working so hard on Silksong they forgot to clean up

[cedar trench]

They don't? I thought they did ever since covid

[marsh ibex]

“Asmongold looking office”

bro.

[young saffron]

Nice analogy

[marsh ibex]

It’s just dusty

[young saffron]

But asmongold is a different breed

[umbral ether]

it is just covered in dead skin cells

[brittle garnet]

They did for a little bit but returned not long after.

[marsh ibex]

asmongold is filth incarnate

[wet tulip]

https://tenor.com/view/mojang-mgrr-jetstream-sam-real-minecraft-gif-8186766014744305341

[stark estuary]

Yeah it’s dusty because it’s abandoned

[cedar trench]

I have dust in my room right now probably under the equalizer

[leaden delta]

I think we should focus on silksong and more on

fuck idk

[stark estuary]

They’re clearly not working on the game lmao let’s not pretend otherwise

[leaden delta]

noita

[young saffron]

Real

[cedar trench]

Tc isnt special i can do it better

[marsh ibex]

erm since dust mostly comprises of shedded skin cells it actually implies

[young saffron]

[fiery burrow]

I'm not a dev so I can't attest to which would take the longest but the physics system is ridiculously impressive (Along with the sound system which is why I recommend watching the GDC talk if you have the spare time)

[stark estuary]

If you think they’ve been working on the game consistently that’s a cope don’t kid yourselves

[steady raven]

Is that not a random full trash bag right next to the dust table

[opaque sigil]

I'll bet they take a WHOLE TWO DAYS A WEEK off lazy devs

[umbral ether]

i mean they are human so they are not working all the time

[oblique musk]

Right, so they obviously weren't able to release the game within a year. That's not what I'm saying. I am saying that if the game was close enough to finishing to actually release this year or next, they would likely know enough to put out a date.

[stark estuary]

Well maybe if they were the game would’ve been out by now

[opaque sigil]

this is demonstrably wrong

[marsh ibex]

yeah that’s definitely asmongold level the guy who has roaches crawling over him and doesn’t bat an eye

[stark estuary]

It’s not good enough

[opaque sigil]

bruh think for like ten seconds

[umbral ether]

disgusting

[oblique musk]

Source? Nothing is demonstrably anything unless you can demonstrate it.

[opaque sigil]

if they thought the game would be out within a year in mid 2022 AND THEY WERE WRONG then what does that say about your paradigm

[steady raven]

I'm going to be real I don't know anything about Asmongold I just heard his house is a mess

[stark estuary]

Holy shit was Asmongold that bad

[marsh ibex]

yes

[shell yacht]

Gotta love armchair gamedevs

[opaque sigil]

bruh this is weaponized stupidity at this point

[marsh ibex]

his house was filled with actual rot and decay

[stark estuary]

ur right

[opaque sigil]

'surely they can do this thing they already have shown they can't do'

[outer cliff]

Why would team Cherry constrain itself to some arbitrary release window when they could just not

[stark estuary]

Doubt is what I do

[shell yacht]

Asmongold got his house turned into a pressure washer simulator level for good reason

[steady raven]

The thing is they did plan to follow the Xbox release window and then they didn't

[leaden delta]

Didn’t they also give a release date this one time

[umbral ether]

what?

[marsh ibex]

No

[stark estuary]

Which is unacceptable clearly they thought it would be realistic for the game to be out within that timeframe how long’s it been since then with no sign of the game being close to coming out what the fuck are they doing

[steady raven]

We have never gotten an actual date, just a "within the next 12 months" that turned out to not actually be true

[opaque sigil]

And what does that say about their ability to determine if the game will be finished within the next year

[stark estuary]

I’m tired of this shitty communication

[leaden delta]

ah well shit ig im lying

[marsh ibex]

To the gallows

[shell yacht]

It's a game about cleaning unbelievably disgusting things with a pressure washer

[young saffron]

My guy you believed the equivalent of "my dad works at Nintendo"

[marsh ibex]

seen it

[trim estuary]

link me this rn

[stark estuary]

I don’t like this image.

[steady raven]

They've not been spending all this extra time vacuuming that's for sure

[outer cliff]

I feel that window was made by Xbox with Team Cherry’s, probably to push their ‘everything is this year’ slogan

[marsh ibex]

I also don’t think they know what seething means

[fiery burrow]

So called free thinkers when they see someone criticizing their favorite game dev

[leaden delta]

dodge

[shell yacht]

[Are you in this image?]

[steady raven]

"We had planned to release Silksong in the 1st half of 2023"

-Leth

[oblique musk]

Okay. Read this text closely. VERY closely. Team Cherry providing a release window does not mean they can make that window. You are right. We have seen this. I am saying that IF team cherry could release within a year window, they probably know that they can. If they believe they can when they can't, they should also believe they can if they can.

[stark estuary]

Yeah it’s almost like they’ve not been in their office you know working on the game that was meant to come out like a year ago either

[steady raven]

Kid named working from home:

[opaque sigil]

Ok you’re trolling nobody is this stupid

[young saffron]

They've spent all this time adding interactable npcs

[outer cliff]

Yes they planned it but I don’t think they would have said so without Xbox asking them to

[stark estuary]

SS shouldn’t have taken over a year tops game development isn’t that hard nor does it take this long they’ve clearly just not been working

[oblique musk]

Fine. Explain to me in detail exactly why I'm wrong.

[steady raven]

Is this trolling or are you being serious

[stark estuary]

They already had a bunch of assets to reuse from HK

[marsh ibex]

just so you know this is a really weird thing to say about someone else

[umbral ether]

didn't they change game engines at some point

[cedar trench]

True like the final boss

[marsh ibex]

No????

[opaque sigil]

TC demonstrably doesn’t know if the game is going to be done within a year if they did they would not have missed the window

[oblique musk]

Well, luckily for me and unluckily for everyone else, neither will I.

[stark estuary]

Yeah they switched to unreal engine 4 I think

[outer cliff]

Really they should just have enough with only Bardoon

[harsh yarrow]

Never confirmed

[opaque sigil]

If they knew whether the game was going to be done within a year at any point it would be literally impossible to miss a window the size of a year

[harsh yarrow]

Pretty sure they wouldnt

[steady raven]

Everyone in this chat is wrong about at least 4 things at any given time

[harsh yarrow]

switching engines is a stupid idea

[opaque sigil]

In fact that the game is still not out means they couldn’t do that for two years

[young saffron]

What does this mean? Is this referring to what happens when you hit NPCs, or how smarter the enemy AI is

Amazing quality once again

[surreal zinc]

Interesting statement

0/10 bait

[harsh yarrow]

For fearless fox, sure, they might use another game engine

but for Silksong?

No

[umbral ether]

i may have been thinking of a differnt game

[leaden delta]

I’m never wrong so

I just talk abt other games

[stark estuary]

Look at how fast they made HK and they didn’t have literally millions of dollars back then

[leaden delta]

that are good

[harsh yarrow]

They started work, and likely had 4+ years of dev in Unitity before they shit the bed

[stark estuary]

That’s how long it should have taken

[marsh ibex]

#sk-discussion message

[shell yacht]

I am not waiting on Fearless Fox

[stark estuary]

But even with all the resources at their disposal they’ve decided to fuck around instead of doing their jobs

[steady raven]

Yeah you're trolling

[stark estuary]

Completely disregarding their fans in the process

[leaden delta]

notice how that message is abt silksong

[shell yacht]

Damn I forgot you're a dev

[outer cliff]

Silksong shouldn’t have took this long, just take hollow knights map, put a filter over it, call it the shadowlands or some shit and release it

[steady raven]

Flip the map horizontally good as new

[stark estuary]

I made a few games on scratch it’s not hard

Hey this isn't FromSoftware

[young saffron]

What if it's a platformer

[shell yacht]

[shell yacht]

Idc what it is I'm getting my 200-400 silksong hours then I'm out

[shut sleet]

The reason they wanted to make a seperate game for Hornet was because they thought she would be too cramped in the environment meant for the knight

[unborn dome]

better grass physics

[outer cliff]

Everybody foaming over Astoria’s of the Abyss when they just put a sun in the sky

[fiery burrow]

I would like that

[shut sleet]

They're trying to make a good quality sequel, not Hollow Knight 2.0

[oblique musk]

All this proves is that they possibly overestimated their own speed. If that is the case, it would be reasonable to assume that ->IF<- the game will release within a year, they would already assume so. It may be that they doubt their own assumptions after the Xbox incident, but that is beyond the scope of this hypothetical.

[fiery burrow]

Yeah HK sucked why would HK 2 be better

[outer cliff]

They should just put (size x 2) in front of all the code then

[young saffron]

Hype

[shut sleet]

Why are you here?

[umbral ether]

i think he is trolling idk

Maybe we’re all trolling and just don’t realize it

[shut sleet]

I would but your mum just left

[young saffron]

Someone ping dolm

[oblique musk]

I would never spend this much effort on a troll. I'm not u/E1331. Or William Pellen.

[trim estuary]

They know EXACTLY when it's coming out but they won't tell anyone because they're afraid someone's gonna tell you

[fiery burrow]

We should gatekeep trolling, if you don't live under a bridge and feed off of anger and misery you aren't REALLY a troll

[oblique musk]

See now this guy gets it

[opaque sigil]

Yes they know exactly when it’s going to come out and had that year window just as a joke they knew it was wrong

[shut sleet]

They're perfectionists, they're probably delaying for the same reason Stardew was, they want to do more with it

[young saffron]

Or they r just lazy

[steady raven]

The only thing that makes me think anything is going to happen within the next 3 months is April is the one year mark of the Microsoft store page for Silksong.

It'd be kinda weird for Microsoft to allow a page to go up for a product that wouldn't come out for over a year

[shell yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/trash-trash-man-im-the-trash-man-iasip-danny-devito-gif-15616885

[outer cliff]

Well actually, you’re wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself and you aren’t a real troll actually.

[shut sleet]

We know the reason why HK was released as early as it was, idk why we aren't taking that into consideration with Skong

[fiery burrow]

Yeah I'm a gremlin

[shell yacht]

Really, you think Microsoft saying a year is a confirmation... Did you forget the window

[surreal zinc]

It’s two different things I think

Golden rings point you to the cartographer

Enemies roll away from you when you hit them and they can trip

[fiery burrow]

Little wicked creature of malice

[outer cliff]

Yeah when William accidentally clicked the enter button was a dark day for us all

[shut sleet]

Lol

[oblique musk]

• If Silksong will release in less than a year, Team Cherry should know or reasonably assume by now. (What I am saying)
• If Silksong will NOT release in less than a year, Team Cherry might assume that it will. (What you are saying)
  These two points are not mutually exclusive.

[shell yacht]

People just want to complain and pretend they know things about development

[opaque sigil]

The second being true makes the first useless

[outer cliff]

Yeah well you’re not evil enough go back to spreading love and forgiveness nerd

[steady raven]

I don't mean it's required for your product to come out within a year of getting a page. It's just a thought I had.

Plus, if this game really does hit a two year delay I'm going to assume something bad went down behind the scenes because that's way to long for them to just be adding more content

[umbral ether]

are there even voice actors

[marsh ibex]

I should just mute you at this point

[iron spear]

All the VAs coming out the woodwork .. or are they all lying??? Who knows

[young saffron]

They really emphasized on enemy encounters

[opaque sigil]

‘They could know if it’ll be done within a year but they would also think it could come out within a year and be wrong’

[young saffron]

So I have high hopes

Im taking everyting involving a silksong voice actor as a shitpost for the time being

Death by horses

This was also posted to r/silksong

personally, don’t believe either of them

There are a lot of ways to die at the hands of a horse be more specific

You probably

[harsh yarrow]

eh

Graig probably has a vauge idea

[young saffron]

Stampede, imagine lion the king but replace it with horses

Has Graig even play tested for years?

[shut sleet]

Cheers mate

[harsh yarrow]

I'd really love some claritiy from TC on this, because its just getting tired and annoying

[opaque sigil]

This is demonstrably false they cannot determine whether the game will be out in this period the possibility of a false positive absolutely makes this incorrect to any reasonable person and trying to pretend you meant what you’re now claiming is brazenly dishonest

[young saffron]

Will leth descend upon us once again

[shut sleet]

Its not like I found out about the discord from the reddit

They like you guys

[marsh ibex]

you don’t really need clarity on random people claiming they have information about silksong

[shut sleet]

All you ever do is call them stupid

[harsh yarrow]

No, but Team Cherry saying something will make people move onto something newer and stupider

[fiery burrow]

You can be crueler than that

Horse tap dance

[fiery burrow]

Truly harrowing

[iron spear]

Honestly if I were TC and a real VA actually leaked stuff I'd remove all their work from the game

[young saffron]

9/10 it's blatantly obvious it's false information

[opaque sigil]

That’s a terrible precedent to set

[surreal zinc]

Eh, we’re fine. Leth stepped in with the cake (which I still believe tbh) because it was Pellen’s actual account. These are just random Redditors

[fiery burrow]

3 bigger horses?

[clever rapids]

I'm here for the same reason I visit the subreddit.

[umbral ether]

[marsh ibex]

can you not discuss torture methods

[outer cliff]

I was thinking more like 4 horses

[fiery burrow]

yeah I just want to recommend one of my fav books sorry

[shut sleet]

I know, I am one of them, because its the same community, no wonder people want to share possible info, its the fun of the hype for a game

[outer cliff]

Yeah you’re right we should stop talking about r/silksong

[carmine island]

How are you doing powdered?

[shell yacht]

The amount of times we have had to ban people for discussing torture methods in depth should not be a double digit number, but it is, and it can be added to

[oblique musk]

Well, we've seen no evidence so far of a false negative, and from my surface level knowledge of statistics I know that, generally speaking, the higher a chance of one the lower the chance of the other.

I don’t get what there is to communicate, just tell me when the game releases or when it’s canceled, otherwise, I don’t care

[oblique musk]

I think most people could tbh

[steady raven]

Team Cherry is ass at interacting with the community, and the community is ass at interacting with Team Cherry

Managed to get Godzilla again repeatedly today, fun shit

I think people ask for too much tbh, yeah TC messed up by announcing too early, but my goodness can people whine

[oblique musk]

We really are perfect for each other.

[marsh ibex]

I don’t think they’re good at the type of communication fans or even I want but atp I think complaining about it is just pointless

[stark estuary]

I understand that most of you are not in that particular field of study so I would understand that you don't grasp my point in the same manner. So I'll put it like this. There's always a non zero chance the game will be bad but in the case of team cherry that non zero chance is higher because games with a similar development cycle have proven it to be so

[shell yacht]

They literally had to

[halcyon moat]

I can't wait for more silksong news!

[shell yacht]

It was a Kickstarter dlc, then a game, it needed to be communicated

[marsh ibex]

it was dlc before they held off on announcing it for as long as they could

[carmine island]

They’re robots

[shut sleet]

Yeah fair

[outer cliff]

If hollow knight was this shit I can’t imagine how bad hollow knight 2: attack of the clones will be

[uncut elk]

as of now, i just like to map out pharloom

[steady raven]

Then they communicated it with a full on trailer, a demo, and our good friend Edge magazine

They went overboard the opposite direction

[dreamy tulip]

team cherry is a team of AI set up as an experiment for how people act when promised something

[opaque sigil]

They struck while the iron was hot and it was evidently incredibly effective

[shut sleet]

All the reviews on their HQ is "when's silksong whens silksong"

[carmine island]

Have we ever seen team cherry and AM in the same room?

[oblique musk]

Okay, but are games with long dev cycles actually worse on average than other games, or do we just percieve them to be worse because of the long wait? There are way to many confounding variables to make a general statement like this.

[surreal zinc]

Speaking of the demo, imagine how great it would be if they released the demo publicly after the delay

[dreamy tulip]

real

HATE. HATE. HATE.

[steady raven]

And now that iron has cooled down and the blacksmith has disappeared

[shut sleet]

Its pathetic

[marsh ibex]

honestly people would just say “it’s close to release guys” or complain imo

[stark estuary]

Clearly you’re not in this field of study so I won’t bother explaining this further

[outer cliff]

Yeah I once played a game that took 7 years and it got a 7 from ign while one that took 3 got an 8

[shut sleet]

Obviously not if the fanbase is this active

[shut sleet]

But thats one example

[oblique musk]

Oh well yeah that's irrefutable evidence then

[steady raven]

The thing is, when was the last time anyone had an actual discussion about Silksong outside of when is it coming out? People don't seem as interested in the game itself as they are in seeing a release date

[young saffron]

Here? People have frequent discussions.

[shell yacht]

Can't spell ignorant without IGN, nothing they say is worth reading

[marsh ibex]

being interested in seeing a release date is the same as being interested in the game itself

[young saffron]

Not always but it happens

[shut sleet]

Cause all those people do is complain about not enough communication

[umbral ether]

i mean we have had a few trailers and that is about it

[marsh ibex]

you want a date so you can get the game

[dreamy tulip]

that's where TC shot themselves in the foot imo, i think some people genuinely don't care about the game anymore

just about complaining about it

[shut sleet]

Yeah

[opaque sigil]

Those are mutually exclusive

No no, provide me concrete evidence that games with a longer dev time are worse than games with a shorter dev time.

No it happens all the time, like when Elden Ring released, that game was shit and too hard, so IGN have it a 4/10 and it took 12 years to make. Meanwhile my bud Jim made Valorant in two weeks and it’s the only game IGN have a 10/10

The amount of people I've seen saying they don't want the game to come out cause then they won't be able to theorise on when its coming out is impressive

[marsh ibex]

hogwarts legacy felt like a psy op

[shut sleet]

The only reason why theyd want to boycott in the first place is because theyre emotionally invested in it, they havent done anything illegal

Well atm it's schrodingers Silksong and it costs anywhere from 30 cents to 40 billion dollars.

The only way we'll know for sure is if the game releases

rowling is a bad writer who got lucky with an alright concept

that is not how that works

[opaque sigil]

It’s not even an original concept

[stark estuary]

It’s not even her concept

Putting silksong on gamepass is actually a pretty weird decision right? You’d think people buy it for the most obscure games and the biggest blockbusters and silksong is somewhere in between, definitely not a bet but also probably cheap

Now, not to be a JK Rowling defender, but a lot of those features were just common fantasy tropes for goblins (which have their own problematic origins). Like, that's about the one thing you could conceivably give her a bit of a pass for.

ew

[oblique musk]

[final breach]

hey hes a cutie

[stark estuary]

Uh, no

Rowling’s Goblins are greedy, short, intelligent, have long hooked noses, speak their own language, sometimes wear special hats, run all the banks, and are very focused on collecting debts. Some of those are general fantasy tropes (which are also probably antisemitic), but not all of them. Take a guess.

Those are some very thinly veiled references to various jewish stereotypes; including jewish cultural traditions such as speaking Hebrew and wearing yarmulkes

[outer cliff]

I feel like im out of the loop with Rowling, I know she did some questionable stereotypes but is there anything else?

[marsh ibex]

she’s a giant transphobe

[steady raven]

[opaque sigil]

She’s the mother of all TERFs

which is super ironic considering she makes FANSTASY books

[stark estuary]

Like the Rowling goblins are such bottom of the barrel antisemitism you can’t even give her the “all fantasy goblins are like that” defense

[marsh ibex]

Yeah

[opaque sigil]

Most fantasy goblins are nothing like that at all they’re like roaming nomadic raiders or some shit

[stark estuary]

Exactly

[oblique musk]

What special hats? I have not read the books in like a decade.

Is that the only difference from generic fantasy goblins you noted

[young saffron]

There's banks in lotr?

[oblique musk]

No, just the only one that I didn't immediately remember was in the books when I read the post. I agree with you that my earlier assumption was incorrect, to be clear.

[opaque sigil]

No dwarves hoard it all and they don’t lend it out

[outer cliff]

The stupidest thing is that I think the concept of banker goblins is pretty cool and she could also just as easily not have made them antisemitic so we’d have cool banker goblins now

[marsh ibex]

also spider-man

[stark estuary]

People talk about Shacklebolt but he’s not even the most racist character did y’all forget Dean Thomas

[cunning geode]

who is explicitly jewish

[marsh ibex]

do not get me started bro

[opaque sigil]

Who

[oblique musk]

Yes.

[outer cliff]

In my goblinpunk world everyone’s a goblin except for the banker man, he struggles to find love

[fiery burrow]

oh yeah dwarves are kind of yikes

[stark estuary]

The tall athletic guy whose dad walked out on him when he was young and whose best friend is the Irish kid

[marsh ibex]

tbf he didn’t walk out on him his dad died

The rest of it is accurate though

[stark estuary]

No he walked out on him I’m pretty sure

[marsh ibex]

I checked the wiki to refresh his backstory his dad died

[stark estuary]

I’m not well versed in the Rowling lore so forgive me if I’m mistaken sir loremaster

[oblique musk]

Considering you can just be a ghost in HP and suffer very little inconvenience, he kinda did walk out on him

[stark estuary]

Would you perhaps let me grovel at your feet and beg forgiveness for my failures

[marsh ibex]

I mean there aren’t really ghosts everywhere and according to this his dad was killed for not going with the wizard nazis

[umbral ether]

what is your pfp from

[outer cliff]

In my potter punk world everyone has a tragic backstory to make it seem like they have any depth

[marsh ibex]

Octopath

[stark estuary]

Joker nobody asked you

[marsh ibex]

mad cuz slow

[stark estuary]

Man I’m deleting my message I can’t deal with this shit

[uncut citrus]

Joker what is your PFP from

[marsh ibex]

yltsi

[marsh ibex]

KH

[uncut citrus]

I asked

[marsh ibex]

the actual source is in my about me as per usual

[fiery burrow]

ordeal

[runic atlas]

I think it's from persona

[stark estuary]

It’s a shit character from a shit game series

[final breach]

why do i click back here and jsut see "wizard nazis" lmao

[marsh ibex]

I have had it up to here with you young missy

[stark estuary]

Because that’s what Harry Potter is about

[runic atlas]

Starpengu ban when

[marsh ibex]

there are so many magic schools why do more people not fucking hate school there

I mean I’d hate school less if I could learn fireball but still

[oblique musk]

Tbh at this point it's more likely than clicking back in and seeing "silksong".

[outer cliff]

The hell are you going to do with fireball

[runic atlas]

One of the lesssons is about using magic to mentally manipulate people you can literally be rich with that

[stark estuary]

Why do they arbitrarily decide to put a bunch of kids into the bad racist house and groom them into Nazis seriously

[grand ferry]

it burned down from school wizard accidents

[stark estuary]

Why is Slytherin allowed to exist

[leaden delta]

oooh harry potter

that series is not good

[oblique musk]

Deal 8d6 fire damage in a 20-foot radius, duh.

[grand ferry]

cool name

[runic atlas]

I like the books

[outer cliff]

Well the buzzfeed hat was pretty convincing

[unborn dome]

8d6

[runic atlas]

Tbf the buzzfeed hat puts you in whatever shit house you want it's literally there just cause

[runic atlas]

You fail and hit yourself

[marsh ibex]

Their common room is the fucking dungeon

[umbral ether]

why is there a dungeon in a school

[marsh ibex]

Idk used to be a castle for wizard wars

[outer cliff]

Jokes on you i only play Baldur’s gate I’m doing 8-48 damage and you can’t do nothing about it

[runic atlas]

No I'm pretty sure they built it specifically to be a school

[oblique musk]

I would not want my entire teenage years to be defined by what I was like when I was 11.

[runic atlas]

Though ig it's cause Salazar was racist or smtn

[marsh ibex]

realistically they should be getting retested every year

[oblique musk]

You're not gonna believe what the highest and lowest possible values of 8d6 are.

[marsh ibex]

That would be interesting

[stark estuary]

He wanted to kill all of the muggles

Wizard supremacist

[marsh ibex]

she’s a fucking hack writer man

[stark estuary]

Those are also Grindelwald’s motivations

[outer cliff]

Um yeah you grew into a bit of a nazi this year to the dungeons you go

[stark estuary]

He literally wants to commit genocide and is painted as being sympathetic

[runic atlas]

Yeah at a certain point Dumbledore says something like "Maybe the sorting if the houses happens too soon" when talking to Snape and Snape just goes "No dawg that's not the point it's just stupid"

[runic atlas]

Uh????

He's not

[finite flax]

captaijn falcon

[oblique musk]

I thought Grindelwald's motivation was stopping WW2 from happening and was painted as being a bad thing.

[runic atlas]

Oh we're talking Grindelwald

[frozen frigate]

Infinity Repeating by Daft Punk and Julian Casablancas perhaps

[marsh ibex]

idk there was some weird racism thing

She’s really not a good writer

[runic atlas]

Nah I don't give a shit about anything after book 7 aside from those books nothing is canon and it can't hurt me

[oblique musk]

Well yeah I assumed that. To Rowling's credit, at least the majority of the racists in that world were portrayed as evil.

[stark estuary]

Well everything before book 7 is dogshit too so draw the line wherever you want

[outer cliff]

She’s a pretty okay writer for kids just not very good in writing an actual story

[stark estuary]

No she’s not

[runic atlas]

She just stopped trying after the main books were over because she could put out actually shit and no one would care

[cunning geode]

yo yoker.

joker

[marsh ibex]

yo

angelo

[runic atlas]

Yolker...

[cunning geode]

check one floor up

[unborn dome]

maybe it was like when Brian griffin stopped 9/11 and it would have just made everything worse

[runic atlas]

Disagree the 7 books were p good imo could've been better but they were entertaining

[runic atlas]

No Grindelwald was just racist and was using WW2 as an excuse iirc

Fantastic Beasts movies are sure something

[stark estuary]

If you were to reread them now I guarantee you would change your mind

[runic atlas]

Me omw to introduce plot hole spell Number 76

[opaque sigil]

But it wasn’t even a time travel thing it was just “hey ww2 is going to happen and could be stopped”

[runic atlas]

I read them like 3 years ago

They weren't that bad

[oblique musk]

Yeah, numbers 1-75 were all introduced in the books.

[outer cliff]

No I refuse to believe that

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[stark estuary]

Well no he’s presented as someone driven by real-life injustices which makes his desire to conquer the world of muggles well-intentioned and sympathetic

[umbral ether]

hello

[marsh ibex]

I mean you play genshin

[runic atlas]

You play Persona and KH

[marsh ibex]

quality control is not your strong suit

[stark estuary]

It’s not framed as a good thing to be clear but like it’s still pretty 🥴

[runic atlas]

And Genshin actually has great story

[oblique musk]

Two houses, both alike in dignity.

[marsh ibex]

and yet I don’t call their writing decent or “not bad”

[fiery burrow]

Direct your malice towards ZZZ

i haven't played ZZZ but my god I hate it

[runic atlas]

Doesn't he like kill a baby in film 1 I'm pretty sure that kills all the sympathy ngl

[outer cliff]

I do indeed generally direct all my malice to the cartoon snoring sound

[marsh ibex]

we all kill babies in the heat of the moment

[fiery burrow]

💤

[outer cliff]

Mickey Mouse can’t just sleep without that stupid saw going brrr

[runic atlas]

Okay but when I do it it's just my girly hobby

[runic atlas]

Wrong it's peak

[stark estuary]

Every gacha game is bad

[marsh ibex]

my point about no quality control is immediately proven

[runic atlas]

It has good gameplay

[marsh ibex]

LMAO???

[stark estuary]

Don’t kid yourself

[outer cliff]

Gacha games are inherently soulless and predatory, the funny thing is that people fall for it

[fiery burrow]

Cool but the marketing is sexist

[marsh ibex]

BAHAHAHA

good gameplay

Holy shit

[fiery burrow]

Big deal-breaker imo and a glaring oversight

[stark estuary]

That’s not funny they’re specifically designed to prey on people who are vulnerable to falling for it

Like people with gambling addictions

[marsh ibex]

Oh that’s why I always played gachas as a young lad

[leaden delta]

yeaaa gachas r just not cool

[fiery burrow]

What about The Battle Cats

Dolm back me up here

[umbral ether]

what even is the gameplay of genshin

[leaden delta]

and then additional things to say towards certain companies.

fucking hoyo

[marsh ibex]

they weren’t referring to genshin they were referring to zzz

[fiery burrow]

Is dolm even here

[stark estuary]

Yes, kids are another vulnerable group they tend to target

[marsh ibex]

which has decent animations but piss poor gameplay

[warped rock]

i played battle cats before

[runic atlas]

I was talking about zzz not Genshin anyways I play Genshin for story

[runic atlas]

Fym decent it's great animation

[marsh ibex]

and said animations tend to go disproportionately to their female cast in extremely lecherous ways

[stark estuary]

Anyone likely to be impulsive is a target really

[marsh ibex]

Kinda bogged down heavily by the sexualization

[stark estuary]

And that can be anyone

[umbral ether]

so they distract you with bright lights to hide how shit thegameplay is

[marsh ibex]

the gameplay from what I remember is extremely basic yes

[fiery burrow]

Sexualization can be fine but objectification is very bad

[grand ferry]

its why people play gacha innit

[outer cliff]

It’s exactly that, if you told me a few years ago that these games exist where people spend thousands of dollars on 3D models for anime girls, I would laugh in your face, but then it turns out they optimized it to get a whole new generation of gambling addicts.

[stark estuary]

It’s unethical for reasons beyond that

[marble creek]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-silksong-hollow-knight-silksong-gif-16075047530947414312

[runic atlas]

They really could optimize it more

[stark estuary]

Literally every system in a gacha is designed to get people to spend money and neurodivergent people, children, people suffering from an addiction are all at risk and exploiting vulnerable people is just… bad

[runic atlas]

On Arceus

[opaque sigil]

Ok but tbf that’s so many things

[warped rock]

playing gacha games outways the cost

[fiery burrow]

I make fun of those things too

[heady iron]

I should make a gacha game

[runic atlas]

Yes

[stark estuary]

On skibidi

[young saffron]

Please don't say that

[outer cliff]

And these people don’t even realize they’re being exploited too, that’s how they get away with it

[runic atlas]

You've lost all my respect DNI

[fiery burrow]

anyways genshin is a botw clone amirite

[stark estuary]

I don’t need your respect you play zzz

[fiery burrow]

i mean botw qualifies as a so called 'anime game' doesn't it

[young saffron]

What the hell is that dolm

[atomic sparrow]

that's evil dolm

[runic atlas]

Nuh uh Genshin has Fontaine so it's peak

[stark estuary]

Those who know

[umbral ether]

your about me is brainrot

neat

[shell yacht]

No?

[oblique musk]

Unless you stand in that single spot under the bridge

[heady iron]

silksong should be f2p with bug waifus gacha

[outer cliff]

I don’t know I don’t think genshin has nearly as many ways to make an omelette

[fiery burrow]

cel shaded graphics and an art style incredibly and obviously inspired by anime made by a japanese studio

[stark estuary]

Xenoblade 2 is a good gacha game

[shell yacht]

Anime games have like, anime ass cutscenes and a ton of waifubait and power of friendship type shit

[oblique musk]

Team Cherry are too cowardly to actually make good business decisions (i am being sarcastic this time)

[fiery burrow]

Guardians are castle in the sky like all magitech like ever

[outer cliff]

Xenoblade chronicles seemed cool to me, then I found out it was actually an alphabetical assortment of bad anime tropes

[stark estuary]

Not true

[fiery burrow]

Yeah ok chief well Breath of the Wild has Paya, and Mipha's (and probably Zelda's) powers are unlocked by thinking about someone they love

[outer cliff]

I’m sorry I just couldn’t handle reyn time or something (it’s been years since I played it)

[shell yacht]

Who's paya

[stark estuary]

I’m not going to lie to you and say there isn’t some bad or cringy shit in there but it gets grossly exaggerated for the most part and even then it’s mostly just one game

[oblique musk]

Forgot about the great fairies smh my head

[opaque sigil]

xc2 has a lot of sussy shit but the story isn't bad nor are the characters

mostly

[umbral ether]

the sheikah vilager who is nearby impa i think

[shell yacht]

Ohhh

[frozen frigate]

Honestly I haven't really thought about it for a while but I am no longer excited at all for GTA 6

[stark estuary]

Tora sucks Pyra is mid the rest are fine or good

[shell yacht]

The nerd with a crush on link

[marsh ibex]

Impa’s granddaughter?

[outer cliff]

I remember kind of liking xc1 but being put off by the voice acting and healer character

[fiery burrow]

The girl who refuses to talk to you if you take off your shirt

[stark estuary]

Zeke and Morag are peak JRPG party members

[shell yacht]

No shoes no shirt no service

[warm kindle]

https://tenor.com/view/microraptor-bird-petting-crow-caption-gif-9563213091757136299

look this birb

[outer cliff]

Only memorable part of her character

[opaque sigil]

tbh like half the tales of arise cast is on that level

[umbral ether]

it is very birb

[oblique musk]

Like hestu

[stark estuary]

I agree but those two are more notable for carrying xc2

[opaque sigil]

fair

[stark estuary]

Not to say the others don’t have their moments

[atomic sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-cro-crow-team-crow-hello-animal-gif-7086727397455856012

[stark estuary]

Also Zeke’s theme is just

https://youtu.be/zUoXO0lU6nQ?si=Php4iY4Bp5f-NytC

[opaque sigil]

I mean yeah but it's xenoblade every ost is like that

[stark estuary]

You’re not wrong

[carmine island]

Tammo would you like to see some cool art I found?

It’s pretty cool :D

[opaque sigil]

sure

[carmine island]

https://fixvx.com/broutille_/status/1881718401996845227?s=46

[opaque sigil]

that is pretty cool

however the idea of a peaceful goose is a lie

I can't believe you'd carelessly share around such blatant propaganda

[carmine island]

He’s not peaceful he just hasn’t found a target yet

[opaque sigil]

I see

[wintry lotus]

Are these part of the conversations referenced in their newest post? If so, have they been made public?

[flat remnant]

chat is sakamoto days any good

[marsh ibex]

pretty good i guess

[marsh ibex]

no

[night vigil]

yoyouououuu should watch that bunny anime

i forgor the name

[marsh ibex]

[flat remnant]

[flat remnant]

[fiery burrow]

"Your honor, Berserk"

[lone crown]

Cherry cheesecake is goated

[heady iron]

Berserk fans explaining why Casca had to lose her clothes for the 39th time (it's for the plot)

[lone crown]

Does this actually happen

[grand ferry]
