[coral prawn]

If I even tried to play Wilds my laptop would explode

[cunning geode]

oh i guess i should try the spec test for Wilds to be fair

when i’m not playing doom of course

[weary tapir]

I GOT EXCELLENT I AM THRIVIGN

[cerulean sable]

do u think the pharloom church has this type of vibe

except its gramaphones blasting music

[brittle garnet]

honestly i am expecting something like "Terrible, you cannot play this" based on my experience with the previous beta test (i had 10fps at most and a lot of things just didn't work at all)

[cerulean sable]

i cant use the benchmark it keeps crashing

unless its an AMD thing

or that i havent updated my drivers yet

[cunning geode]

less grimdark

[cerulean sable]

yes but the vibe is the same yes

no

[cunning geode]

lots of gizzard and doom 👹 👹

[versed pollen]

I ain't ever playing this game 🙏 🙏 🙏

[frozen frigate]

hi guys im quite enjnoying ds2 right now to be honest it was a very rough start but once you get into it this is pretty darn great it might even be better than ds1 for me

[formal marsh]

nice try fromsoftware

[frozen frigate]

aw man

tanimura himself paid me to promote ds2 undetected

now i wont get the money

I was scared for so long I wouldn't be able to run wilds

[cunning geode]

that’s the spirit

[frozen frigate]

ive found creighton a second time in the shaded woods

someone told me to pay attention to him the next time i see him but hes just kinda here

he says the guy who betrayed him is down in brightstone cove tseldora but thats it

[naive geode]

Yooo wombat you seem like a person who’d play KCD2

[subtle flint]

no :3

[cunning geode]

not at all actually but i’m curious why you’d think so

[cerulean sable]

wombat whaty ur ius ur opinion on mogwai- tkae me somewhere nice

[cunning geode]

i have to listen to it first

[cerulean sable]

its like,
tun, tun, tun, tun (wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEE)
GHOSTS IN THE PHOTOGRAPHHHHHH
(WHEEEEEEEEEE)

man i realized i need more games with brutalist architecture

[cunning geode]

i’m listening gimme 7 mins

[cerulean sable]

stalker does not count cuz 1. i have already played the trilogy 2. i am too scared at times 3. it doesnt have dense cities

[cerulean sable]

i need the same depressive vibe my country has

[cerulean sable]

THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD

YES

give me CONCRETE WALLS

[wheat sail]

i prefer neo brutalism or whatever tf

[lilac gyro]

[cerulean sable]

too futuristic but i get it

[wheat sail]

just a bunch of gray rectangle buildings

[cerulean sable]

i kinda prefer the rustic vibe you get me

[oblique musk]

Gonna get rainbolt to doxx your ass from these pictures

[wheat sail]

two of the street pics are at least colorful and arent that depressing

depending on how you look at it

[cerulean sable]

the type of grimy streets in a shitty apartment your brood protagonist would retreat to, smoke cigarettes and drink scotch to

you get me

[cerulean sable]

it has that vibe esp when the skies are dark

i mean, thats a given

but upper right is the general vibe i get at times

[hexed grotto]

so, uh, are we expecting anything on Fri, Feb 14th?

[cerulean sable]

no

why

[hexed grotto]

[cerulean sable]

unless you missed the chance to pop uber before 50 seconds onto the clock

[wheat sail]

i expect her to respond to my texts then we go on a date then she confesses she loved me all this time too

[cerulean sable]

i dont see why, much less expecting a sentry nest not to be placed on the 1st point stretch of PL_Frontier

[hexed grotto]

awh, good luck on that

[oblique musk]

It's more likely than a Silksong release date, so you have that going for you at least

[cunning geode]

this entire episode of Eviternity 2 is based on this aesthetic

also nice mogwai song, very relaxing

[cerulean sable]

defo a vibe ngl

[wheat sail]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-gif-20550641

[wheat sail]

(it aint happening high key)

silksong will save me

[cerulean sable]

off topic but i kinda i love the old style 2d generated skybox of the old days

something about it feels otherwordly

[cunning geode]

made up entirely of unique textures from a pack called OTEX

[cerulean sable]

https://youtu.be/NhIvqkibC4o?t=113

[oblique musk]

Can't wait for Leth to say they have concepts of a release date in his annual "Hey Gang" tweet.

[wheat sail]

i feel like just going through a slideshow of these empty levels gives nostalgia for some reason

like an image of dustbowl with no players on it and some sad lofi music

and a crt filter

[cerulean sable]

i unironically hate the shit leth gets but its unfortunately considering the vast majority of people would rather regurgigate "easiest job lmao" and ignore context

[wheat sail]

i get it , leth cant squeeze water from stone

[cerulean sable]

ive tried arguing about his role and ti got ignored in favor of "what the fuck do they even have a PR for?" messages

[wheat sail]

team cherry just arent giving anything

[cerulean sable]

exactly

[cerulean sable]

same

skybox is the first thing i notice when it comes to these games

[oblique musk]

It's either the easiest job or the hardest depending on how much you care, and unfortunately for Leth, he does.

[wheat sail]

shouldve hired me

i'd be like "they didnt give me shit no bitching"

[cerulean sable]

i might be more biased for example but im going through Pathologic 2 right now, and im seeing screenshots of Pathologic 1 that gives me that odd nostalgia vibe (2 vs 1)

dont get me wrong i love 2 and havent played 1, but 1 is giving me hard nostalgia vibes

[woeful otter]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

[cunning geode]

uh-huh

[woeful otter]

I THINK I GOT IT

WHAT IF

[cunning geode]

no

[oblique musk]

Why is there no emote of AbsRad hitting the "Absolute Cinema" pose? Missed opportunity frfr

[cunning geode]

be the change you seek

[oblique musk]

Fuck am I supposed to do? Become a mod?

[charred herald]

hey someone make a mod for that

[cunning geode]

make and submit an emote

[woeful otter]

I WONT LOSE HOPE

[cerulean sable]

my man do you know how many times weve done the valentines day cope

weve been at it for 3 years at this point

[wheat sail]

the month of love

tc will show their love with new news

[charred herald]

do you want the hope or should i double it and give it to the next person

[woeful otter]

GIVE ME IT

[oblique musk]

3?? I've been going strong for 5 years straight.

[cerulean sable]

[wheat sail]

just use ai then to8uch it up

[cerulean sable]

yes

games like pathologic 2

[woeful otter]

Im going max % hk

[oblique musk]

I would rather commit THK phase 3

[woeful otter]

115%

[wheat sail]

Silksong true completion % is 136%

10 pantheon-like levels

[charred herald]

no, we give tulips to men

[woeful otter]

WAIT

What if

We wait for game

[cunning geode]

uh-huh

[woeful otter]

And we will get 1 part of world each year

[charred herald]

this isn't deltarune

[cerulean sable]

[woeful otter]

RIOT

[charred herald]

what?

[cerulean sable]

no its beyond evil

[woeful otter]

WE NEED RIOT

[cunning geode]

it’s despicable evil you might say

kid calm down

[charred herald]

i haven't heard of that one, is it good?

[cerulean sable]

i think you need to go to bed

[woeful otter]

HORNET RIOT

[cerulean sable]

its past your bed time

[charred herald]

shayy, it's past your bedtime

[woeful otter]

Timezones

[cerulean sable]

yes

basically imagine playing doctor and the town fucking sucks and yo ugotta baby sit everyones ass and hope they dont get plagued be upon them

[cunning geode]

no matter what time zone it is you need to take a nap

Riot games?

[charred herald]

i've really enjoyed terraria and In Stars And Time this past year

[cerulean sable]

oh shit

i should play TF2

thanks for reminding me

[cunning geode]

no problem

[woeful otter]

Hey

[wheat sail]

all 10 quickfix medics, heal the rocket jumper soldier

[woeful otter]

What if we wait soo long

[cunning geode]

making the sad decision soon to retire a song from my playlist like it’s a big deal instead of a completely inane action

[woeful otter]

And we will get only 10 h of gameplay

To max the game out

[wheat sail]

it better enlighten me to the meaning of life

[cerulean sable]

tbf i dont mind if the game took this long but only took around 40h to max out

[cunning geode]

he is the sniper

[woeful otter]

Yea

[cerulean sable]

people inflate play time given they have so much free time still

[woeful otter]

Long game is good game

[cerulean sable]

im talking people expecting Silksong should gbe 100h at the minimum

thats jsut stupid

[cunning geode]

i don’t think that’s what ttacco meant

[woeful otter]

Mario And Luigi brothership 50h to finish game

[cerulean sable]

at a certain point the content for a certain game WILL start to feel like filler or padding

[woeful otter]

15h to max out

Depending what people like

[cunning geode]

Sunder 3 hours to beat level…

[cerulean sable]

im not the type of person to argue the 1h = 1$ metric

but like, i dont really wanna pay 60$ for a 10h experience

even if its a very good experience

[woeful otter]

Yea

That would suck

[cunning geode]

part of the video game medium is replayability and that should factor into how the player treats choices on price

[cerulean sable]

oh yeah

[cunning geode]

talking about the movie game phenomenon

[cerulean sable]

i dont mind 20h long games if its very replayable

[woeful otter]

Yea

[wheat sail]

if im paying 60$ for 10h it better improve me physically and mentally and make me rich

[cerulean sable]

actually id argue RPGs being too long can be a bit too much

[wheat sail]

its very hard to get your moneys worth of satisfaction in 10 hours

[cerulean sable]

theres a game by Obsidian called Tyranny, and its like 20-25h long compared to other juggernaut RPGs taking like 60+

[wheat sail]

if you paid 60

[kindred pewter]

What if I paid 290

[wheat sail]

you gonna be like "what am i doing wit my life"

[cunning geode]

how much is gmod usually

$10

[cerulean sable]

but that means you get to replay it more and its good because the game is about you being a diplomat for a villain (the bad guys already won and youre part of it, and youre just here to mop out the rest of the resistance)

so its very fleshed out when it comes to choice going "look man im just doing my job can you guys surrender or uhh, face death" to "IM GONNA FUCKING KICK YOU OFF THE CLIFF BECAUSE ITS FUNNY TO ME"

which youll appreciate a lot more with the shorter length

[wheat sail]

it goes on sale a lot so like around 5 CAD?

[cunning geode]

gmod one of the best priced games ever then technically

and yknow, doom 2 👹

[unborn dome]

that’s still only $6 an hour, which compared to a lot of other entertainment stuff is pretty good actually

[cunning geode]

surely i’m not trying to convince you of anything

nop

[wheat sail]

if its replayable then its like 25xnumber of replays which is worth, kinda like why lots of people like roguelites

[wheat sail]

yeah but those hours of entertainment only make sense when you put them all together, if its like a story game or something

[cerulean sable]

i would agree except my only issue is the lack of narratives on roguelikes 🥴

i kinda dig the shorter CRPG structure because of it though

i prefer seeing what my new character influences the world over redoing the same levels with a different weapon

this sounds weird but its kinda like the world doesnt feel like its moving forward that just, saps my motivation so changing world state/dialogue is kinda like my bare minimum requirement for me to find a game memorable (hence the RPG bias)

also why i think prequel Silksong theory is lame 😤

less open ended "move forward" and more "well we already know whats gonna happen to Hornet in the future" type of deal

[wheat sail]

kingdom come looks like a game where your decisions matter it seems cool

[oblique musk]

If Silksong is a sequel, or even if it isn't, will Hornet ever reference any of the characters and/or events in Hollow Knight?

[wheat sail]

i only mentioned roguelites because you tend to get a lot of hours out of them for the money paid

[full rune]

wake up new SimonDev vid just dropped

[wheat sail]

she'll act like nothin ever happened... 🥹

[marsh ibex]

who

[full rune]

he makes really good game dev vids

[fiery burrow]

Probably not that would be confusing for people who haven't played HK and she'd generally have to reason to do that in casual speech

[wheat sail]

is it like gamemaker tool kit

[full rune]

more technical

[cerulean sable]

oh yeah definitely

[fiery burrow]

She does reference her stingshards when speaking to the Forge Daughter though

[cerulean sable]

i was a kid where i can only afford games at like 20-30$ every or so often

only because my sister would buy me games

[fiery burrow]

Hornet: If you are as talented as you suggest, would you lend me your aid, if only briefly? I’ve lacked for my usual tools, and I suspect you could craft fine replacements.

Forge-Daughter: Blades and traps, no doubt? I know your type!

Hornet: Of sorts, but maybe strange to this land? Some would likely prove fine challenge for your craft.

[wheat sail]

with no ads, the only players getting silksong are hk players

[brittle garnet]

thankfully there is a lot of HK players

[cerulean sable]

so my minimum is that games should give me back 3x the content per dollar

funny thing is thats how i actually discovered Hollow Knight, i went through Bioshock Infinite and realized 10 hours is actually a lot in a different perspective when i played it like 2-3 hours a day compared to my over inflated "100 hours minimum or else i dont buy" deal

so during my 1 week college break i decided to buy Grim Dawn as the 100+ hour game, and Hollow Knight as the cute 10h appetizer i would play for 2 days before i go straight to Grim Dawn

opposite happened, ended up no lifing HK for 8 days straight, 10~ hours a day until i beat Radiance

[fiery burrow]

10 HOURS?

[cerulean sable]

best part is i didnt check the reviews other than i liked the artstyle, it was cheap, and a lot of good reviews
so when i checked the reviews AFTER i finished i was like holy shit these people have like 50+ hours no fucking wonder

yeah

my MO was, wake up in the morning at 9AM, boot up Hollow Knight, play until 7PM, then play coop games with my friends, rinse repeat from Sunday to Saturday

[brittle garnet]

trying to cope with probably not being able to play Wilds

[fiery burrow]

what about food bro

[cunning geode]

star of providence kinda does this without it being in your face

[fiery burrow]

Where does breakfast fit into that schedule 😭

[marsh ibex]

you got time for food and shi

[cerulean sable]

then after i beat THK ending at Friday i said, yeah im satisfied with the game, i dont really wanna do Radiance its too hard for me

next day, woke up and booted up Hollow Knight then told myself "TIME FOR DREAM NO MORE LETS FUCKING GOOO "

[marsh ibex]

just multitask when you piss

[cerulean sable]

i fucking ate in front of the PC cuz i didnt wanna let go man lmao

[fiery burrow]

my benchmark is still installing

Gonna have to uninstall so much stuff to play this

[wheat sail]

yeah playing hk i was excited each day to discover new areas and secrets

[cerulean sable]

imagine being so so with games in that period other than TF2, then i got hit with something that i felt lke was bringing back a lost childhood i did not have, i was grinning like a little shit when i heard Hornets theme cuz i couldnt believe how good it was (coming in blind)

[fiery burrow]

Peak..

[cerulean sable]

YES YES, i woudl go to sleep thinking what places i should go to next

or what stuff am i missing

i literally felt like a kid man

[unborn dome]

I told myself after I got all the spelunky 2 achievements that I wasn’t going to attempt 7-99
despite that I spent the next few months attempting 7-99 runs almost daily

[fiery burrow]

Maybe I can't talk I've been playing monster hunter a wee bit too much

[wheat sail]

sis playing the demo over and over

[cerulean sable]

i went down Fungal's going "THE HUNTER YEARNS THAT I HUNT, I WILL CLEANSE LIFE OFF THIS INFESTED WASTE AN-" internally until i met the Mantis Lords lmao

[cerulean sable]

yeah you hit this burnt out im done feeling then the next day you realize you just needed a break

[cerulean sable]

apparently ive clicked on this game befoer probably from some review

honestly roguelike with persistent narrative is probably one of the few things that would make me actually like the genre and afaik Hades does this?

but the gameplay of hades dont really interest me enough to actually try it

[cunning geode]

hades is very story/character focused

star of providence is very game focused 👹

[cerulean sable]

but basically just dont make it like, everytime you die you restart all over again in a narrative sense

[cunning geode]

if i can spoil anything at all about star of providence it’s that ||once you beat normal mode, hard mode is going back through as a different character to find where the first one went||

[cerulean sable]

kinda related but something like how in Disco Elysium ||near the ending gave you an option to tell Kim that you were just pretending to have your amnesia, which fits your way of dealing with the game if youve already finished it once since you actually know whats gonna happen||

[unborn dome]

or maybe I was just

[cerulean sable]

thats pretty cool

[cunning geode]

he hates it chat

[marsh ibex]

I did not know you can click spoilers in the reply bar

[rustic ore]

This looks like a Zoombini

except not blue

[unborn dome]

tf is a zoombini????

[rustic ore]

give him some jordans coming from his face kirby style

[cerulean sable]

its like opposing force

[marsh ibex]

sounds like mid from mid vs zombies

[cerulean sable]

you retreading to some parts freeman had

[rustic ore]

that guy if he was blue

[pine frost]

Being able to do stuff like that is really something else. During my winter break I blasted through like, 3/4ths of Metaphor. Then it ended and it took me like several weeks to get through the last 10 hours cause I was so busy

[rustic ore]

do you smell what i’m cooking now

[cunning geode]

kinda! but youre friends and it's sad

[unborn dome]

“from mid vs zombies”
those are literally just real life fruit

[rustic ore]

i always really resonated with the zoombinis that had the dot eyes or the shades

zoombinis with the skates were joated

springs were a close second

[fiery burrow]

Benchmark is almost installed I'm quivering. What are the chances my PC explodes?

[rustic ore]

1/6

[pine frost]

99.98% chance. It will become national news when some person’s computer and entire house suddenly combusted into flames

[rustic ore]

Also enlighten me
What exactly is a benchmark
Ik this is about MHWilds but

[fiery burrow]

Tests if your PC has the guts to run the game

[unborn dome]

specs?

[rustic ore]

Ooh ok

[livid tree]

50 50 because either it happens or it doesnt

[woeful matrix]

thinking caps on

[fiery burrow]

I have a CPU, GPU, and a processor of some sort

90% certain my computer has a cooling fan

[uncut citrus]

not for long 🐱

💥

[unborn dome]

no ram?

[fiery burrow]

Not too fond of rams their horns are creepy

[runic atlas]

damn two processors?

[stoic sigil]

Your powers are mine!

[long briar]

W

[unborn dome]

not unheard of
a lot of servers use 2

[fiery burrow]

Double the processing power

[formal marsh]

are you sure you have a gpu

[long briar]

The specs are required frfr

[runic atlas]

to shit on Persona twice as efficiently

[long briar]

Drop them rn

[fiery burrow]

No

[unborn dome]

not exactly because there’s significant latency for communication between them

that’s not a jacket…

I don't know why I'm super scared it can run AC6 and stuff alright

yes

[formal marsh]

oh even more convenient

[serene chasm]

shoot

[lucid holly]

When silk

[stoic sigil]

Why the FUCK isn't shralse in #emotes-and-stickers

[lucid holly]

[serene chasm]

you can get silk at a fabric store.

[pine frost]

oh there’s an evil version now

[lucid holly]

[serene chasm]

idk. Andy made that one right?

[stoic sigil]

See this guy didn't know

Think so

He didn't know because it wasn't in emotes and stickers

[serene chasm]

@atomic sparrow You made Shralse? right

[full rune]

gotta change your name to the shralsemaker

[runic atlas]

Shralse is a thing???

[frosty light]

holy shit

i cant wait to see this being spammed whenever the next silkvent comes around

[lucid holly]

[serene chasm]

[lucid holly]

Shrothing ever happens

[runic atlas]

Can't wait to spam this whenever someone says something positive about a popular game I don't like

[full rune]

its perfect

[frosty light]

or , chat?

[serene chasm]

We need Shraybe

[lucid holly]

[fiery burrow]

[frosty light]

[fiery burrow]

I really hope stay

We're gonna lose so many good emotes :sneezema:

[carmine island]

[frosty light]

theyre gonna take from me....

[uncut citrus]

Wilbo's last message still is Shermasmirk 😌

[frosty light]

you know what... maybe its a GOOD thing that silksong hasnt been released

this made me laugh like a sick dog...

[hybrid root]

Well, I'm now officially on the silksong hype train now that I've done most of the stuff in hk

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-gif-25307361

[shell yacht]

Blindfolded glass soul run go

[hybrid root]

No

I'm already doing radhog

[shell yacht]

Smh

[misty reef]

im still working on p3

i dont think itll ever be done

[hybrid root]

Struggling with p3? Just beat them all on radiant that way you'll never struggle again!

[frosty light]

it all depends on you...!

[misty reef]

yeah but I have to do it

uumuu

god tamer

[hybrid root]

Godhome Uumuu my beloved

[misty reef]

no

[shell yacht]

Wait is GPZ in P3 or P4

Because that's definitely the worst part

[formal karma]

p4 i think

[frosty light]

p3... :\

[formal karma]

yea, no p3 sounds more righter

[misty reef]

can I undo grey pricne zote

[formal karma]

always?

[shell yacht]

If you save zote he's always going to be in the pantheons

[opaque sigil]

well no

you have to beat him in overworld for him to be there

just saving zote doesn't give you gpz in godhome

[shell yacht]

He's not avoidable though

[formal karma]

also if you have time you can just make an other file 😛

[opaque sigil]

you can save zote and not fight him, but once you fight him you can't unfight him

[opaque sigil]

yes he is

[thorny knoll]

i use cheats to kill him

i dont like him

hes ugly

[marsh ibex]

Genuine largest skissue of the century

[thorny knoll]

i dont care

[rustic ore]

fuck.

[opaque sigil]

I'm surprised you got that

[rustic ore]

rolling a blunt on ginyu's face is crazy

[obsidian owl]

gtx 1070 ti but 32gb of ram 😭

[rustic ore]

the ram came free , dude hooked me up with 4 8gigs

[obsidian owl]

fair enough

[rustic ore]

atm im looking at a $300 3060 or a 2080

[blazing pecan]

Donating your old GPU to a trans girl in need is true allyship

[rustic ore]

i also need another fan for the PC

[fiery burrow]

Whats an optimization?

[rustic ore]

i mean if i end up getting the upgrade, ill hook you up lyd

[blazing pecan]

I was donated a 2080 by an online friend, and I got the fans upgraded before the Tariffs hit

[rustic ore]

damn

[blazing pecan]

If I had a 2080ti at least I think I could push RDR2 to high settings at 60fps

Rn I'm running it at 1440p60

Low settings but Ultra textures

I matched the PS4/5 settings

[rustic ore]

i believe in you and your pc

[blazing pecan]

It is the nicest and only thing I own

Swapping between RDR2, KCD and TES has given me a near infinite escape

[rustic ore]

real

MHW, Terraria, and League (sue me) for me

we love escapism in this household

[blazing pecan]

Love terraria ❤️

[fiery burrow]

I've been on an MHW roll

[blazing pecan]

Also if anyone has an old PS4 they don't use or is upgrading to PS5 my wife wants a blu-ray/DVD player and my daughter has a switch but we want a proper modern family console. We're still playing our PS2/360 library

[serene chasm]

Thats when games peaked anyways

[blazing pecan]

We have a lot of the best ones but the PS2 and Xbox are starting to fail and we probably won't replace the Xbox at least

My daughter plays 360 Minecraft and she also likes Mario games on her Switch

[serene chasm]

I would check your local classifieds. Im sure someone is selling a ps4

[obsidian owl]

my old ps4 is soooo dead lmao it crashes withing 30 minutes regardless of what game it is 😵‍💫

[blazing pecan]

We just can't afford even 100 dollars rn

[obsidian owl]

ngl i'd take a ps2 over a ps4

1984 wtf

[full rune]

deleted a real take 😔

[shell yacht]

Is it the fan or do you think maybe something on the motherboard cracked? Mine had that issue from a combination of overheating and out of memory crashes

[tender swift]

why was my msg deleted... no silksong discussion in the silksong channel?

[shell yacht]

YouTubers that bitch about silk song is not really a silk song discussion, has nothing to do with the game

[fiery burrow]

what was the video

[obsidian owl]

it's just a launch day ps4 that was running pretty much 24/7 because there were 2 kids with infinite time around

[fiery burrow]

I don't really believe it violates any rules

[tender swift]

and playstation 4 is definitely silksong ♡

[shell yacht]

oh yeah something probably melted or cracked in there, depending on what it is could probably be repaired for really cheap

[fiery burrow]

If you don't want primacon or whatever add that to the rules

[shell yacht]

And that whatchyou call it thermal paste

[fiery burrow]

Add mossbag there too while you're at it and ban him from the server

Leave only ccmaci

[tender swift]

whats so bad about mossbag

[shell yacht]

CC Messey goes first

[blazing pecan]

You probably just need to redo the thermal paste

And clean the heatsink

[obsidian owl]

we took it to like 5 or 6 repair shops and they all just refused service
it's just kinda sad cuz i have a huge physical game collection for the ps4 and i can't use those on the ps5

[serene chasm]

Im the only HK youtuber allowed

[full rune]

links are fine

[fiery burrow]

I hate indie devs

[tender swift]

where else am i supposed to bitch about silksong youtubers if not for the silksong channel

[full rune]

even if they are goated (.e.g. gamerant)

[blazing pecan]

Skilk

[shell yacht]

They sound like idiots, that can't be more than a $100 problem, I'd say givit here but sending it to me would be absurdly more expensive, the only thing hard about opening up PS4 is getting your fingers pinched and buying the $9 screwdriver

[hybrid root]

Skilk issue

[blazing pecan]

Skong issue

[carmine island]

Hk server admin zal caught using e.g. incorrectly

[serene chasm]

Im sure ifixit has a guide

[shell yacht]

40$ probably if it's a fan

[obsidian owl]

what do you think it could be? i'm not particularly scared of breaking something that nobody at home uses anyway

[hybrid root]

If silksong releases is everyone gonna start saying silk issue instead of skill issue?

[blazing pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/byoon-gif-20550997

[fiery burrow]

50$ Stenm Giftcard:
https://youtu.be/VmauxZUG5UM

[tender swift]

imo there is a big difference between hollow knight youtubers (people who actually make content about the game and lore) and silksong youtubers (people who clout chase a desperate fandom by making videos on every baseless silksong rumor and don't actually care about the game)

[blazing pecan]

Thermal paste

It eventually gets cooked and needs scraped off and replaced

[shell yacht]

Well it sounds like overheating and out of memory and that could be the paste the fan or the what's it called, power supply. Could also just be a overloaded hard drive which you could swap out with an SSD

[full rune]

pog

[shell yacht]

My PS4 is also old as shit and I've never actually had to replace the paste, just tweak everything else

[obsidian owl]

yeah it is definitely overheating since it screams that it is overheating

[tender swift]

sigh. what am i even doing here.

[obsidian owl]

• gets louder than a jet engine

[shell yacht]

Also if you've never opened it up to clean it you're going to be horribly disgusted when you do

[serene chasm]

Please dont do that. We're jumpy around the words "steam gift cards"
Almost banned you

[shell yacht]

Oh well your fan works I guess

[fiery burrow]

I wonder how long I've been recommending the ROR2 OST

[open narwhal]

gmcb

[obsidian owl]

we've cleaned it before but that's about as much as we've done

[fiery burrow]

Are GOG gift cards okay

[serene chasm]

Yes. cause no one uses GOG

[carmine island]

Curly is trigger happy

[obsidian owl]

blasphemy

[carmine island]

PayPal me 40000 dollars for dubious happenings

[obsidian owl]

i got hk through gog cuz no drm...

[tender swift]

are silksong gift cards okay i have 50 shaw cards

[serene chasm]

Steam version is also DRM free

[fiery burrow]

Okay 1000$ GOG giftcard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWUXZOvx4pA

[obsidian owl]

wait really

[open narwhal]

wth is gog

[obsidian owl]

i mean i also have the steam version but damn

fuck

[tender swift]

[serene chasm]

steam doesnt mean a game isnt drm free. Just that GOG prides itself as a drm free store

[obsidian owl]

no i know but like damn still

[tender swift]

are those words in the bible

[obsidian owl]

i remember specifically being told that if i want the game drm free i need to get it through gog 😔

[carmine island]

Good old games

[obsidian owl]

then like 2 weeks later i got it on steam anyway cuz i wanted to downpatch to specific versions

[tender swift]

i dont think im being perceived

[open narwhal]

sounds bald

[carmine island]

Fym ??? you asked lmao

[fiery burrow]

Sometimes chat just focuses on other messages

[hybrid root]

I'm realizing now that I know nothing about the gameplay of silksong besides Hornet's different attacks

[fiery burrow]

Imagine Hollow Knight but good

[shell yacht]

Parkour

[hybrid root]

Impossachievable

[fiery burrow]

The urge to play UK before the update is consuming me

[tender swift]

its weird that my msg gets deleted for no reason

[fiery burrow]

Yeah Powdered

[carmine island]

Silksong is a arena shooter with fishing mechanics

[open narwhal]

sounds like league of legends

[hybrid root]

Ah yes thanks for the information

[tender swift]

whatever i have class in 3 minutes nobody gaf

[carmine island]

No problem!

[open narwhal]

🐊

[hybrid root]

But fr though what's new in the game?

[serene chasm]

like?

[fiery burrow]

Completely new map

[serene chasm]

Game here being SS right?

[hybrid root]

Yeah

Are charms back I don't remember if I saw them

[stoic sigil]

Woah

[serene chasm]

New character with new movesets, new world, npcs and quests, new bosses

[carmine island]

No they’re not

We have tools instead

[serene chasm]

Tools > Charms

[fiery burrow]

A new mechanic being introduced is "crests". Equipping a crest alters your move-set in combat. Combat works mostly the same, with the addition of a sprint button and sprint attacks

[carmine island]

Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

[hybrid root]

Rip Sprintmaster
I hardly knew ye

[brittle garnet]

and your pogo is also quite different

it's at a fixed angle and has more horizontal movement

[fiery burrow]

Tools work like charms except for red/active tools, which are equippable activatable weapons

[carmine island]

Comically large syringe or small circle with blue on it

[hybrid root]

Interesting

[brittle garnet]

tools are like charms

except instead of notches, you have slots

[carmine island]

#sk-discussion message

[brittle garnet]

1 slot fits 1 tool

[open narwhal]

i miss crowsworn

[carmine island]

There’s all the tools

[hybrid root]

So crests are like flukenest in the sense that they change your moveset somewhat?

[carmine island]

Yeah

[formal karma]

Yup

And LIKELY determines which tools you are allowed to equip

[formal karma]

Although it's been years so who knows what's changed

[carmine island]

Maybe we should pin this as well

[hybrid root]

Oh dang crests flukenest your entire set of attacks

[open narwhal]

let me send the message and pin mine so I get a superiority complex for having a pinned message in sskongdisc

[carmine island]

Or like make a thread that regular people can’t talk in

[serene chasm]

It is in the everything we know doc

[carmine island]

Just for viewing

[stoic sigil]

Silksong

[serene chasm]

Ill pin it for now

[hybrid root]

Are there more than the 3 crests in that image?

[carmine island]

Yippee!

[formal karma]

Yea and we can assume there's more

[hybrid root]

W

[carmine island]

Yeha there’s four

The one you start with and the three others that you probably unlock

[open narwhal]

what if it works like zero in megaman x5 / x6 where if you press a combination of keys it does a different movement

crests sound bald

[hybrid root]

Do crests impact the speed of attacks?

Seems clear they impact range and mobility

[carmine island]

Not sure

[open narwhal]

or nvm that'd be stupid because it'd clash with pogo/ direction of attack

[serene chasm]

idk

I think attack speed is fairly the same

[hybrid root]

If attack speed is roughly the same that probably means damage is roughly the same too?

[carmine island]

I’m sure the animation isn’t precisely time synced

[carmine island]

We don’t know

[hybrid root]

Fair enough

Good to know they added variability to the moveset considering its more complex nature

[serene chasm]

The xbox trailer has all the know crests showcased

[carmine island]

Xbox trailer was also threeish years ago

[woeful matrix]

50$ stemmcommunyty card

[serene chasm]

But its still the best thing we got

[carmine island]

We don’t know what’s gone on since the Xbox trailer so the chests could’ve been changed immensely or not at all

[carmine island]

Yeah

I’m just saying we don’t know for 100% certain

[hybrid root]

What about tools, how do they work?

[woeful matrix]

btw ss is going to be at the xbox thing

feb prophecy is mever wrong

[carmine island]

You can craft them with shell shards iirc

[hybrid root]

That's how they're obtained?

[serene chasm]

Tools add certain abilities. Either passive or active.

[woeful matrix]

whats a shell shard

[carmine island]

They range from caltrops or throwing knives

Bombs or saw blades

[serene chasm]

Drops from enemies. Enemies can drop both Rosaries (currency) and Shell shards (item repairs)

[woeful matrix]

interesting

interesting

[hybrid root]

So they're basically like the new spells in the sense that they're an alternate form of damage outside of the main weapon?

[carmine island]

Lifeblood syringes or little red flying guys that fight with you

[warped rock]

silksong discussion in #sk-discussion

[hybrid root]

Well, the active tools anyway

[carmine island]

I know it’s horrible

[hybrid root]

Do we know anything about what the passive effect tools are like?

[opaque sigil]

Not really

[carmine island]

No clue

[edgy valve]

for the first time

[opaque sigil]

Other than some clips with weird HUD stuff that’s probably associated with tools

[warped rock]

Yep!

[marsh ibex]

you know saying stuff like this is exactly why it doesn’t happen

[edgy valve]

whats going on why is chat so active all of a sudden did some news drop

[marsh ibex]

“Active” it’s like 4 people talking

[rustic ore]

chats almost always active

[warped rock]

i should say this more often then

[subtle flint]

@cunning geode https://open.spotify.com/track/489m0guUPAgaDlpOY42Atc?si=3ac7308f4c314f24

[carmine island]

Have we actually seen a passive tool?

[marsh ibex]

oh wow then i’ll start deleting it more often then

[warped rock]

hater

[carmine island]

Is this joker?

[edgy valve]

ok by active i mean the discussion here is actually about silksong as opposed to other random things

[marsh ibex]

no

[carmine island]

Yeha it’s joker

[tender swift]

yeah

[rustic ore]

i dont think jokers joking guys

[opaque sigil]

I mean we’ve seen them in menus and shit? It’s harder to see a passive effect

[carmine island]

Fair lol

[marsh ibex]

as for passive tools we haven’t had any explicitly confirmed yet in the sense of their effects

for all we know the “crest changing your attacks” could be passive tools lmao

[warped rock]

damn i've been playing too much balatro

[rustic ore]

-# yk i was gonna go to the bank today but it started raining and got SUPER cold so i think im just gonna stay inside forever

[marsh ibex]

broke behavior

[opaque sigil]

???

[carmine island]

Fucked up actually ennea should never get rained on

[marsh ibex]

idk like an effect if you have enough tools of the same grouping up

[rustic ore]

someone's on my side

[marsh ibex]

i’m just spitballing fr

[rustic ore]

detention

[stoic sigil]

Joker is toxic pls demote 🙏

[marsh ibex]

Are you an ichiruki fan

[rustic ore]

the fuck is ichiruki

oh

no im not

i just like rukia

[marsh ibex]

Alright then I’m on your side

[warped rock]

it's the japanese word for sushi

[rustic ore]

🤝

[stoic sigil]

Sushi is awesome

[rustic ore]

my favorite food

[marsh ibex]

Never had it

[carmine island]

Same

[rustic ore]

is it a matter of appeal, or inopportunity

like "eh i just dont think id like it" vs "never had the opportunity to try"

[neon adder]

Agreed

[warped rock]

joker you type like someone who likes sushi go try some some day

[hybrid root]

Okay so we basically know nothing about the passive tools then

By the sound of them they may be like the HK charms but balanced

[carmine island]

Looking at you wayward compass

[rustic ore]

bc there's not really anything i can do about the "never had the opportunity" thing

[open narwhal]

unfunny people getting ready to ss qs sbody strength

[marsh ibex]

Inopportunity

[rustic ore]

damn

good luck

[marsh ibex]

A majority of the things I’ve eaten are because of parents

[neon adder]

I can tell that the charms were sort of shoehorned in last minute with HK, but I’m glad they’re there. The game would have way less customization and the lore would lose a bit of appeal

[rustic ore]

if you get the opportunity, try some

[marsh ibex]

Ignoring some of the stranger stuff i’ve consumed

I may have many issues with my parents but they are not the reason I eat weird stuff

[hybrid root]

Charms add so much it's nice

[marsh ibex]

or maybe they are idfk

[uncut citrus]

thats pure curiosity i think

[marsh ibex]

it’s a shame most of them suck

[warped rock]

Me

[serene chasm]

Go get sushi

[rustic ore]

im tempted to call it intrusive curiosity tbh

[marsh ibex]

ok eating cardboard is relatively normal

[serene chasm]

sushi is the best

[uncut citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/chopping-wood-outer-banks-getting-wood-gathering-wood-chop-chop-chop-gif-21989290

what about bark?

[marsh ibex]

stop doxxing what I’ve eaten bruh

[rustic ore]

🥣

[marsh ibex]

ITS THE LEPRECHAUN AGAIN

HIDE YOUR CEREAL

[neon adder]

Also, Wayward Compass is so useful and I won’t be taking feedback on that front

[rustic ore]

MAGICALLY DELICIOUS

[neon adder]

Only one notch too

[hybrid root]

Wayward is really nice

[serene chasm]

Trix the rabbit and lucky should team up

[marsh ibex]

it shouldn’t be a charm in the first place

[hybrid root]

Nah it should

[marsh ibex]

just make it a toggle on the map if you really want to keep the whole “map but you don’t directly know what room you’re in” thing

[hybrid root]

Minor opportunity cost in exchange for convenience in exploration is fair

[neon adder]

Trueeeeeeeeeee

[rustic ore]

multiversal threat

[serene chasm]

SS shouldnt have maps

[marsh ibex]

it’s such a minor cost it’s practically nonexistent and basically every video game map does this by default hk is just being different for the sake of it

[carmine island]

[neon adder]

True
What could go wrong

[serene chasm]

Nothing. Its a perfect idea

[carmine island]

Silksongs map should be behind the final boss

[rustic ore]

i really like the one crest thats like claw attacks n shit

i think im gonna rock that bc you do like a buzzsaw pogo

[opaque sigil]

Eh not having your location marked is kinda neat you have
more motivation to learn the areas and navigate by landmark

[hybrid root]

I feel like the way compass was integrated is really nice

[carmine island]

Same lol

Looks awesome

[neon adder]

Hornet’s bones get plated with adamantium

[marsh ibex]

meh

I’ll land a mark on your forehead baldy

[neon adder]

Sonic the Halfbeast

[opaque sigil]

Well if you wanna be a joyless dweeb don’t let me stop you

[carmine island]

Imo it’s more immersive

[serene chasm]

I would love for Pharloom to have more points of interest to navigate by

[carmine island]

Yeah

[open narwhal]

bald knight has only like hallownest crown imo ngl iirc

[carmine island]

Not really

[marsh ibex]

N🚘🚨

[neon adder]

I’ll give Pharloom kudos because its areas look VERY cool and marginally more interesting than HK’s. We’ve been needing a lava area for awhile now

[carmine island]

Two of my favourites were the three pillars in greenpath or the hunters den

[opaque sigil]

I think HK has a pretty good poi density

[marsh ibex]

joyless
Eat my shorts you ratty fartbrain

[opaque sigil]

womp womp

[neon adder]

Joker has been Bart Simpson all along

[carmine island]

Sounds like what someone without joy would say

[serene chasm]

It does. Really what SS needs to do is incorporate them more. Like NPCs giving directions based off them/and just mentioning them

[hybrid root]

Y'know it's kinda interesting that HK never had any fire themed area

[steady panther]

good thing they didn't though

now they'll have new areas

for ss

[carmine island]

Greenpath if you have matches

[open narwhal]

like ori and the will of the baldies

[hybrid root]

Indeed

Desert area seems interesting

[clever rapids]

Silksong discussion, in my Mario Discord?

[hybrid root]

At least I think that's a desert

[steady panther]

but

[serene chasm]

Ori does that? I swear I never got any direction from npcs in that game

[steady panther]

wasn't there a desert thing

[carmine island]

I’m gonna be honest a fire in queens gardens or greenpath would kill everyone in hallownest from suffocation

[steady panther]

in hk

yk the area with all the dead soldiers

[neon adder]

That magma bog is a good one, plus the inhabitants look interesting. The bellheads seem cool and I’m surprised ants haven’t been done before

[open narwhal]

blind forest kinda sucks

but iirc npcs do tell you to go to the insert direction to reach a certain place, like follow the stream until blablabla to reach X

[steady panther]

technically isn't that considered a desert

[neon adder]

Who thinks of bone ants

[serene chasm]

Was one of my biggest issues with it. "Hey, go give this thing to my friend somewhere in the world. They look exactly like me"

[hybrid root]

Kingdom's Edge?

[open narwhal]

OK this was evil in ori2

[steady panther]

Yeah

that

[open narwhal]

but SOME stuff had clues

[steady panther]

god i haven't played hk in so long

[serene chasm]

I must have missed those

[open narwhal]

like the water wheel area, I think that had LOTS of direction clues

[hybrid root]

I always saw the area as a roundabout way of having a snowy aesthetic while having it make logical sense

[open narwhal]

or I may he demented / hallucinating stuff

[opaque sigil]

The only reason ants weren’t done is because they got cut

[steady panther]

Yeah

[neon adder]

REDEMPTION!

[open narwhal]

the worst thing about ori 2 was reaching the snowy place

[steady panther]

Guys I feel like ss is gonna release this month

[open narwhal]

like how would people know you needed a feather to tickle the bear blocking the way

[steady panther]

I can feel it

I'm calling it

feb 21st

[serene chasm]

k

[quiet knot]

Hi gamers

[steady panther]

im on the same wavelengths as team cherry

[serene chasm]

Hold on to that feeling

[neon adder]

Hell yeah

We need that sort of energy

[steady panther]

im locked in bro

feb 21st

[quiet knot]

Who cares about silksong when you have Helldivers 2 anniversary in 2 days ish

[open narwhal]

when's the next 29th feburary

[hybrid root]

2028

[serene chasm]

If you were, you wouldnt have told us

[open narwhal]

damn 2024 was a leap year?

[hybrid root]

Yup

[neon adder]

Kingdom’s Edge is a fun area

The ash-snow is magnifique

[hybrid root]

I wish Kingdom's Edge had more stuff but beyond that it's really nice

[quiet knot]

Its so emptyyyyy

[neon adder]

It being barren sort of seems the point

[serene chasm]

I love how kingdom edge actually felt like you were in the barren outskirts of the kingdom.

[opaque sigil]

ke being anything other than kinda empty would be antithetical to the point of it

(it also really isn't very empty it's just good at seeming that way)

[hybrid root]

Well, yeah. But being barren doesn't mean it needs to be void of stuff to obtain so long as it makes sense

[opaque sigil]

it has a bunch of stuff?

[carmine island]

Same with howling cliffs

[hybrid root]

Does it?

[steady panther]

So much hidden lore in that region

[opaque sigil]

essential boss fight, nailmaster, colo (so a pale ore and a charm notch), the best charm in the game, another charm nobody cares about (hiveblood)

[open narwhal]

collector hornet 2 baldkoth colo and nart

or wait collector is in cot kinda

[neon adder]

I actually like Hiveblood
I think the Hive is my favorite distinct subarea

[open narwhal]

baldoon is also there

[hybrid root]

I wish the hive was interesting and fun

[steady panther]

Its so pretty there too

[hybrid root]

Yeah fair tbh

[quiet knot]

If only there was more stuff in it

[neon adder]

BARDOOOOOOON

[neon adder]

True

[open narwhal]

curly can u mute me for 2 hours so I can eep 🥺

I have to be up in 4

[neon adder]

Maybe this is a hot take but Crystal Peaks is kind of a nothingburger

[open narwhal]

[steady panther]

Your right

[neon adder]

I like Crystal Peaks, and it’s still probably one of my favorite areas, but I feel like it’s missing something

[quiet knot]

Bad take

[hybrid root]

Crystal Peaks has 2 spells, a pale ore, some grubs, a mask shard and a mediocre boss

[serene chasm]

True. And lets be honest. Crystal dash was pointless

[open narwhal]

crystal mids

[opaque sigil]

crystal peaks has plenty of important shit it's just got awful enemies and it's at the edge of the world so you never come back

[hybrid root]

It's missing a good boss

[steady panther]

real

[hybrid root]

In terms of stuff to get, Crystal Peaks has a lot

[neon adder]

I wouldn’t say that, it gets niche usage for platforming and stuff

[steady panther]

Nah crystal dash came in clutch for me on path of pain

[neon adder]

The secrets locked behind CDash are pretty cool too

[opaque sigil]

cdash is mostly pointless but it's less boring than say king's brand

[open narwhal]

peaks has cdash pale ore key deep focus and mask shard iirc

empty place 👀

[edgy valve]

guys my uncle works at team cherry and he told me that the reason its been taking so long is because they're really focusing on the dating sim elements of the game, and because of that it might take about 10-15 more years to finish

[serene chasm]

I guess path of pain did make it something fun to use. Then just a thing that got used in a few specific areas

[steady panther]

Alright get out

[formal karma]

Meh. Obligatory "get better memes"

[neon adder]

Deep Focus is underrated I think

[open narwhal]

waste of 4 slots

or was it 3

notches*

[serene chasm]

Really I dont hate CD that much. Like HK was their first game. I would be worried if it was perfect on the first go

[opaque sigil]

The yuri bug dating sim is real

[open narwhal]

soul sanctum

upgrading spells is bald

[leaden delta]

cdash should have more shit to it
