[heady iron]

They should focus all their effort on blogposts

[twilit vector]

william pellen has been hard at work on the hole

[violet path]

Thanks i was just about to give up

[crude field]

Its beacuse they fucking dropped the teaser trailer, the demo and went to hawai
jk

[heady iron]

Just all promises and zero content

[cedar trench]

they should start vlogging

and not even dev anymore

just

full day vlogs

[atomic sparrow]

mb

[oblique musk]

"Where's Silksong, William?"
"It's in the hole."

[violet path]

Anyone here listen to

Uh music

[leaden delta]

SO TRUE

This is too fire

[twilit vector]

yes

[cedar trench]

hey gang this is william pellen here i'm drinking straight ethanol in the nevada desert oh shit is that a military base

[atomic sparrow]

yes

[violet path]

What kind

[crude field]

To Csurran cseppen

[oblique musk]

Only leth says hey gang. Fake fan.

[twilit vector]

a decent amount of different genres

[oblique musk]

Fuck yeah I love

[violet path]

Favorite artist?

[twilit vector]

probably franz ferdinand atm

maybe arctic monkeys

[brittle garnet]

@south portal I also want to add that job descriptions are descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning that you figure out the job description that best fits what you have to do, rather than a job description dictating what you need to do.
To further compound on Leth's particular situation, he also stated he doesnt want to do all of his job by himself, because he is just a contractor, and he doesnt want to leave team cherry stranded when his contract ends, so he is also letting team cherry handle, and teaching them how to handle, crucial parts of his job.
(Sorry for the ping i just wanna make sure youre informed)

[violet path]

Uh

Like

The archduke of austria?

[twilit vector]

yes

[violet path]

Didnt know he made music

[twilit vector]

hes fire

[heady iron]

TC should announce that they’ll be giving away all copies of silksong for free when it releases as penance for their lack of communication and then stop working on the game entirely

[violet path]

Thought he was busy being the reason for 2 world wars

[oblique musk]

The Archduke of Austria? How is he making music? He died!

[formal karma]

One

[twilit vector]

would reccommend 'this fffire' if you want to listen to a song

[oblique musk]

wait someone already made this joke god damn it

[twilit vector]

it lives up to its name

[south portal]

no problem thx for taking the time to teach me

[cedar trench]

RIDING IN MY GNX CAUSE IT'S GON BE A

I wish everyone was willing to learn this haha

Aint they making a new cpunk comic

Soon

[oblique musk]

I refuse to believe an argument in #sk-discussion ended with a peaceful resolution and an acknowledgement of ignorance. You are a paid actor.

[twilit vector]

cunk? cunk on britain mentioned

[cedar trench]

What is your opinion on Belgian techno anthem Pump up the Jam

[twilit vector]

[oblique musk]

"why do we even have that channel" type shit

[lone crown]

No this is just a bad time

[cedar trench]

[cedar trench]

[heady iron]

Sans undertale

[cedar trench]

https://open.spotify.com/intl-it/track/3gaNyionb8tWoFqHIqnshM?si=2fe768a201724334

[twilit vector]

[lone crown]

Also people are sick of arguing in general so theyre used to yelling at anyone

RAHH NO NEWS

[cedar trench]

@violet path go with this one

[woeful matrix]

no fucking way

[cedar trench]

FUCK YOU FOR COMPLAINING ! ! ! !

I AM ALWAYS RIGHT

[naive geode]

[south portal]

yo guys can i be super stupid for a sec

[naive geode]

i am very sad

[lone crown]

Knock me out

[twilit vector]

no

[oblique musk]

There's three people you want to avoid here: kirbstar, starpengu, and that rat bastard lpritchett46. Also, don't trust anyone with an orange name.

[woeful matrix]

no fun allowed

[brittle garnet]

Let's just say that people sharing gripes with team cherry here rarely react well when their gripes are challenged

[lone crown]

Its hard to be stupider than me unless you hate dark chocolate

[heady iron]

Alright done

[violet path]

Why would you do this to me

[naive geode]

I wanted to jumpskare someone and it didnt work

[cedar trench]

sluggish

[twilit vector]

feels good to have none of my opps here

[cedar trench]

i said sluggish right after that

[south portal]

wth was the cake thing? ik it was like dev account? but like why did it say that? was it even a dev?

[trim estuary]

[woeful matrix]

shitpost

it was a joke

[south portal]

im so misinformed it insane

[brittle garnet]

Ok ill explain

[cedar trench]

it was a dev's personal account

[brittle garnet]

Basically

[cedar trench]

and he shitposts on it

[woeful matrix]

not at all related to ss btw

[cedar trench]

that's it

[twilit vector]

master of shitposts strikes again

[cedar trench]

people who blew it out of proportion got shot btw each and every one of them

[south portal]

shitposting on main while deving the most anticapated game ever is nasty nasty work

[heady iron]

That was wilbo, he used to work on the dev team before he crashed out on November 17th, 2021 and doxxed Ari

[cedar trench]

that's the best part

[twilit vector]

generational crashout

[south portal]

WHAT

[cedar trench]

whenever chat becomes about the dev process it's so funny

[south portal]

imma need a lore recap

[cedar trench]

assumption games

[oblique musk]

I remember someone justifying it with shit like "We would still care if Trump said he would nuke all of europe even if it was on @realDonaldTrump and not @POTUS".

[cedar trench]

they're playing with you

[lone crown]

It is from the real dev, this account was not really heard of at all and was a minor bit of trivia here, on a random basis he’d say random subliminal jokes which held zero meaning

One of these jokes “Something big is coming. Keep your eyes closed” (a joke since it says “closed”) was greatly misinterpreted and spread like wildfire thanks to HK content creators, making this account a more known phenomenon

[woeful matrix]

wtf 😭

thats so funny lmao

[brittle garnet]

It was a dev's account.
However.
It was a personal shitpost account. It does not say or advertise anywhere that that is his account. The only way you will find out is by coincidence or if someone who knows tells you. That account is exlusively used for esoteric shitposting, it has never been used as the personal account of William Pellen, and never been used for anything else than shitposting.

[twilit vector]

that would actually be so funny

[cedar trench]

i am going to nuke all of europe

[atomic sparrow]

i am

andy

[cedar trench]

and i am ann

[brittle garnet]

Like it was by all accounts, a secret account

[twilit vector]

it was a BASED account

[atomic sparrow]

based on what ?

[south portal]

so basically
everyone got tricked cus silksong fans dont have third grade level reading comprehension

[lone crown]

Precisely

[brittle garnet]

Basically

[oblique musk]

https://youtu.be/pjgUrVdF2RI?si=8lamZ-lbnee6Keo1&t=117

[cedar trench]

ip hrtabber

i typoed hrt???? that's awesome

[oblique musk]

it is a fucking youtube link

[twilit vector]

if every single person with silksong on their wishlist was killed the average iq would increase by 10

[brittle garnet]

Everyone got tricked because the youtubers who revealed the "secret" did not really specify or illistrate the context behind the account. People just heard "the developer tweeted this"

[oblique musk]

yeah i think it would really wsgflsdahjbgopjaHfurjewfgbhyefewhf

[south portal]

why does it have a punctiouation in the middle of "youtube" then

clearly a ip grabber

[woeful matrix]

true

[atomic sparrow]

yep

[woeful matrix]

its a fake touybe

[atomic sparrow]

mods

get em

[woeful matrix]

youtubeh

[brittle garnet]

So i think it's totally Fireborn's fault for that whole fiasco

[heady iron]

We should throw fireb0rn into a wood chipper

[lone crown]

A portion yeah

[young breach]

my 🐐 bobfred

[heady iron]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-skeleton-meme-skeletons-gif-26660362

[oblique musk]

Sacrifice fireb0rn for silksong.

[twilit vector]

unbelievably true

[brittle garnet]

Like it was definitely irresponsible to present it like that

[cedar trench]

Ancient roman Hit Lists but instead of high ranking senators and political figures it's everyone in r/silksong

[lone crown]

But fireborn did contribute the most to mass “huh something is happening”

[rich narwhal]

What did he do?

[twilit vector]

for a sacrifice it should be somebody we value

[south portal]

griffith this is ur one chance to redeem urself

[young breach]

[lone crown]

Instead of deleting the video he unlisted it

Still viewable

[south portal]

do ppl dislike fireborn?

[oblique musk]

Of course. Matthew Griffin!

[livid tree]

i cant believe i thought this would be a problem

[cedar trench]

me when i am at a blowing it out of proportion challenge and my opponents are HK youtubers and your mom

[violet path]

I liked him in like 2021

[livid tree]

cotton probably does LOL

[brittle garnet]

Like it cannot be stressed how many people have a negative view of team cherry for "tricking" the fans maliciously, without knowing the context. Its everywhere in comments.

[south portal]

nah but like what he do wrong specifically

[twilit vector]

justice for cottonmoon!!!!!!!!!!!

[analog jolt]

When will Silksong realease?

[oblique musk]

Shitty game. Shitty sequel. Shitty dev team.

[atomic sparrow]

2

[oblique musk]

Tomorrow.

[violet path]

Realistically probably sometime in february this year

[livid tree]

me dunno

[twilit vector]

coming out tommorow leth said it himself

[brittle garnet]

He basically made the video about the cake tweet without sufficiently explaining the context behind it, and imo even if he did it was wrong to make a video on it.

[oblique musk]

how do we tell him

[rich narwhal]

Funny how SS fanbase would sacrifice anything and everything for even a small piece of info.

[young breach]

probably doesnt care, and he rebeat r5

[heady iron]

Mfs think this is the fireb0rn complaint channel

[south portal]

ah damn so basically nothing horrible?

[brittle garnet]

It is

[livid tree]

2041

[livid tree]

cotton alt acc

[woeful matrix]

when wont ss release

[south portal]

right now check steam

[young breach]

cotton is 🐐

[lone crown]

I’ve been here for a long time solely cause of the wait and the feeling of waiting together with a bunch of random fucks

Once this place becomes the next #hk-discussion it wont have that same feel anymore. I’ll probably still stick around to discuss any lore/tech but not even close to as-frequently, maybe like 6 months after release

[twilit vector]

it is

[brittle garnet]

Well it did contribute to a lot of people being mad at TC for a bad reason. It is a bad thing he did, doesnt mean hes a bad person or anything

[south portal]

mistakes happen i figure

[cedar trench]

this place will suck so much after silksong releases

[livid tree]

we need to open a seperate channel for us to go to when ss comes out

[twilit vector]

i hope they add a whole new section for silksong and keep this as an offtopic channel

[cedar trench]

off topic 2 👁️

[leaden delta]

oh there was fire discussion

[cedar trench]

it's always fire discussion when i'm here babe

[leaden delta]

I think he’s lame and it’s funny to make fun of his content

[twilit vector]

it would destroy the server ecosystem if our little bubble was popped

[lone crown]

Also i’m not interested in fearless fox solely because by the time it releases i’d be fucking 28 or something

[livid tree]

i dislike fireborn cause im water type 💧🚰🚿

[lone crown]

And id have moved on from silly games

[livid tree]

why

[twilit vector]

the only good hk streamer is skurry

[cedar trench]

when fearless fox releases i'll be getting my masters degree fuckkkkkkkk

[atomic sparrow]

unc.

[cedar trench]

funny shit

[livid tree]

epic sauce

[atomic sparrow]

when fearless fox releases i'd be working lmaooooooo

[south portal]

is there anyone in this community that u should like actively avoid btw? the SS community got some bad rep but i honestly havent figured out why exactly (except those who hate on team cherry, im sure like 60% of that is ragebait tho)

[oblique musk]

And yet, you are interested in silksong.

[lone crown]

Imagine trying to make a living off of only Hollow Knight content

[livid tree]

everyone

[heady iron]

me

[lone crown]

Because its a sequel to HK duh

[cedar trench]

i looove swearing but i fear we'll have to strangle vivienne medrano if we want to keep swearing cool

[oblique musk]

or a prequel

[lone crown]

I aint even old

Not taking the bait

[woeful matrix]

how old are you

[livid tree]

weird question

ngl

[atomic sparrow]

i am 2

[south portal]

but u got a nine sols pfp, u cant be bad

[lone crown]

[atomic sparrow]

no pelase no ban

[livid tree]

my account got banned from discord cause i said things like this

im 100% serious

[brittle garnet]

Youtuber named Primacon but hinestly i dont think there is any one person prolific enough that sticks around (Primacon is an ok guy i bet but i find it disgusting and harmful how he gets silksong fans riled up and he promotes the bad mentality and appeals to it by constantly making silksong videos about nothingburgers)

[atomic sparrow]

oh so i'm 102

mb gang

👴

[cedar trench]

AVOID THE SUBREDDIT LIKE IT HAS AIDS IN IT

[twilit vector]

were all pretty nice tbh

[south portal]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo he gives me my news when there really is none

[fiery burrow]

Walking past Primacon fans with real Silksong videos like Cadaea

https://tenor.com/view/monsters-vs-aliens-jello-me-showing-big-chungus-memes-to-my-friends-gif-22368570

[brittle garnet]

And yeah the silksong subreddit is very toxic do avoid it

[oblique musk]

If vivziepop wrote Hollow Knight:
No FUCKING mind to think
No will to FUCKING break
No voice to cry SHIT FUCK PISS DAMN IT
You shall seal the FUCKING light that haunts their FUCKING dreams
You are the FUCKING vessel.
You are the FUCKING Hollow Knight.

[livid tree]

thats not very nice to say

[brittle garnet]

Nothing if value is there

[south portal]

conflicting messages here

[cedar trench]

"we" relates to this channel tbh

[lone crown]

Primacon is like neutral, he promotes the silksanity but crosses the line at genuinely stupid shit

[cedar trench]

how i interpret it

because the hk community at large is a clusterfuck

[oblique musk]

The discord is fine...mostly. The subreddit is a place not to be touched.

[twilit vector]

the subreddit should be treat like it is highly radioactive

[lone crown]

But yeah he creates slop content

[brittle garnet]

Yeah but promoting it is bad imo and he still caters to the bad crowd.

[oblique musk]

This subreddit is not a subreddit of honor type shit

[livid tree]

what did fireborn even do lol

[cedar trench]

i once held a geiger counter to my pc for fun while browsing r/silksong and it exploded

[lone crown]

Breathe

[twilit vector]

dont you dare diss my glorious king pyrocynical

[south portal]

silksanity is just stupid shitposts no?

[fiery burrow]

The primacon in question https://www.reddit.com/r/Silksong/comments/1esxw0z/team_cherry_has_abandoned_their_fans_and_its_sad/

[livid tree]

im not like his #1 fan or anything i just wanna know if he did smth or yall just dislike him because you do

[lone crown]

Wasnt there some controversy with that guy or am I misremembering

[young breach]

hes the 🐐

[twilit vector]

embed fail

[lone crown]

Okay what the fuck i take that back

[cedar trench]

it's lame stupid shitposts

[fiery burrow]

Its impossible to take this dude seriously

[brittle garnet]

He made the first video about the cake incident which had a bad impact on the outlook of the fanbase on team cherry for a wrong reason

[livid tree]

impact? like evangelion?

lol jk thanks

[twilit vector]

not a joke btw

[brittle garnet]

Forgive me for assuming sincerity

[cedar trench]

the most unfunny person you know irl is frustrated about a video game and to vent that frustration is pretending to be insane on reddit

high schoolers are doing this instead of shooting up drugs and alcohol at parties

[livid tree]

im sorry i was being sincere

[heady iron]

Honestly ara’s also been baiting in recent dssn but you didn’t hear that from me

[brittle garnet]

Ah yeah i missed the jk message

All good

[atomic sparrow]

those who

know...

[fiery burrow]

<@&283547423706447872>

[cedar trench]

?

and for what

[tawdry valley]

nsfw

[heady iron]

Not on my wholesome Christian server

[twilit vector]

pronouns in bio shut up

[south portal]

how does quirrel die exactly? does he just fall over once u leave the blue lake? like why would e just die randomly?

[cedar trench]

is it even that bad

[tawdry valley]

No comment bro, lol

[brittle garnet]

Any direct mention of nsfw is not allowed

[oblique musk]

Did @twilit vector not say the same thing two messages above me

[fiery burrow]

Sexual content whatsoever is banned because thats really dangerous to discuss with strangers online if you are a minor

[marsh ibex]

please do not refer to nsfw here

[fiery burrow]

This is internet safety 101 bro

[tawdry valley]

Same applies to them id imagine

[twilit vector]

nah

[young breach]

the reason is unknown and not that important. its most likely he just fades away or smth similar

[cedar trench]

i was misguided

[atomic sparrow]

hello joker

[heady iron]

I didn’t allocate any of my income to accidental death or dismemberment insurance at my job

[south portal]

"ye he died idk why just roll with it man"

[oblique musk]

You know what honestly fair enough I can admit fault for that one.

[marsh ibex]

this also a weird ass thing to say ngl

[young breach]

thats not what i said no

[brittle garnet]

But yeah pyrocynical controversy is just he's weird but not in a harmful way

[fiery burrow]

I don't even have pronouns in my bio

[south portal]

ye ik

[rich narwhal]

Did they finish discussing silkso...oh they didn't..alriiiight..

[cedar trench]

i think the they them with the they them pronoun role was being ironic about it joker

[livid tree]

NSFW

[tawdry valley]

Quirrel going and living a happy life would neuter his whole character arc.
Quirrel is sent off with the key to a seal, called back to hallownest as a old warrior, explores and begins to appreciate its former beauty, relives his old life in his new one, fulfills his purpose in old age, and then moves on from a long and fulfilling journey goes adventuring backstage.

[twilit vector]

it was a joke because everybody here has their pronouns in their bio

[atomic sparrow]

woah dude wtf ?? mods

[fiery burrow]

Quirrel probably died of old age

[heady iron]

Not me

[south portal]

just meant thats how it felt when he died, no explanation

[heady iron]

I’m not woke like them

[oblique musk]

Impossible. Irony does not exist.

[marsh ibex]

Fucked up

[tawdry valley]

Tldr quirrel is a great character partly and specifically because he dies and dies ambiguously

[marsh ibex]

ok and

bad precedent

[south portal]

actually i like him cus he sits with u on the bench

[twilit vector]

irony is forbidden here

[young breach]

yea the game isnt gonna explicitly show everything

[atomic sparrow]

qurriel just took a little swim

TRUST.

[cedar trench]

i don't even wanna know

[south portal]

ye its just hes my fav and i wanna know what happened to him

[cedar trench]

anyway

[young breach]

u cant rly say whatever u want bc its a joke/ironic

[oblique musk]

Does this guy just like... survive off of water?

[young breach]

bro died

[violet path]

America reference?

[weary tapir]

don’t eat Oreos don’t eat Burger King don’t eat cranberries don’t eat mayonnaise

[tawdry valley]

Plain rice and boiled chicken

[livid tree]

oxygenarian

[twilit vector]

i can when it doesnt harm anybody and is very clearly ironic

[young breach]

he suggests himself reasons as well, such as his age

[atomic sparrow]

he turned old 💔

[south portal]

but why did he die exactly? he seemed fine at uumuu

[twilit vector]

lost his purpose in life is how i understood it

[tawdry valley]

End of his story

Lived well

[atomic sparrow]

he doesn't sound fine AFTER uumuu

[oblique musk]

I never understand why people do that. Like, seasoning your fucking food will not hurt your gains, and I say this as a white guy.

[brittle garnet]

I like the theory that Quirrel was basically living on borrowed time protected by the mask and after he removed it, his debt caught up with him and he just disappeared

[south portal]

bro just live stupid ass quirell

[tawdry valley]

https://tenor.com/view/kung-fu-panda-gif-24482418

[livid tree]

an argument between these 11 would be hilarious 🤣

so he turned to dust ??

What is my goat howtobasic doing there

[brittle garnet]

Or something

got thanos snapped

I only know two of these people and I am eternally grateful for that

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-squidward-i-have-no-soul-no-soul-evil-gif-4900821

[brittle garnet]

Perhaps for some people the flavor of rice and chicken are sufficient for their tastes.

[young breach]

no way this is a serious response

[tawdry valley]

Neither does the food so like

What’s the problem

[violet path]

Eminems pretty cool

[tawdry valley]

That’s fucking bullshit

[twilit vector]

the response of 'yes jokes should be allowed when they dont hurt anybody??'

[brittle garnet]

Idk maybe its not. Whats bland for you might be tasty to someone else.

[tawdry valley]

Boiled chicken and plain rice isn’t anyone’s preferred anything

It’s just easy to turn into routine

Cheap, simple, convenient

Lasts long in a Tupperware

[oblique musk]

Alright I have a fuckload of homework to do. If you see me on this server in the next 3 hours please bully me off of it.

[twilit vector]

the texture of boiled chicken makes me feel ill

[tawdry valley]

That’s what the rice is for

[brittle garnet]

I personally cant stand bland food

[south portal]

i reckon when that stupid red no turns into a green yes the entire world will stand still

[brittle garnet]

If i had a choice i wouldnt be able to eat that

[twilit vector]

plain rice is pretty good though

[tawdry valley]

I’m more a grilled chicken man myself tbh

[twilit vector]

the chicken is the issue

[brittle garnet]

But i know people in my family who enjoy things that to me have too little flavor, while flavors i enjoy are too strong for them.

[violet path]

I like it

Sometimes im not in the mood for some crazy flavoring

[heady iron]

Ara when he wants a new lamborghini: hmm, I should change today’s dssn title to say “Yes, but…”

[south portal]

salubras blessing is the WORST thing in HK and u CANT say otherwise

[twilit vector]

how could flavour be too strong for you

like that actually doesnt compute

[lone crown]

Sometimes i want to sit at a bench and watch and then OHHHHOHOHOHOOOOOOO

[brittle garnet]

No the worst thing is definitely zote's babbling

[twilit vector]

those flukes that split into two enemies are the real worst

[brittle garnet]

Oh yeah those are gross

But in a cool way

[twilit vector]

i hate them so much

[young breach]

that isnt an answer and not equivalent to the original premise

[south portal]

waterways are so irrelevant they dont annoy you

[tawdry valley]

I love deepnest

[twilit vector]

i literally have pronouns in my bio it is very obvious that its a joke

[south portal]

I hate deepnest

[heady iron]

Pronouns in bio, ignored

[twilit vector]

banned

[tawdry valley]

Say it like you mean it

[south portal]

I HATE DEEPNEST

[young breach]

the question isnt if its a joke, just if the argumentation given was serious

[tawdry valley]

Deepnest level design is PEAK metroidvania.

There are two ways to enter deepnest in a Typical playthrough:
The fungal wastes floor drop, and the mantis lords gate.
The gate immediately presents a corpse pile of scary looking bugs, and a few of the design choices deepnest makes regarding spikes, geo, basically setting the theme for the area- placing the player on guard
The fungal wastes entrance takes the player by surprise, drops them into a creepy crawly pit, and puts the player on guard

Both these entrances make it clear what you’re getting into.
Both these entrances hand you cornifers laughably unfinished map with his dialogue.
Both these places present the player with a choice to exit, or press on into deepnest while they have been put on guard

This is immensely important, because this state of caution (Not Fear) is what defines the core of the deepnest exploration loop, and presents every design choice in deepnest as a unique take on the “casually wandering” of HK.

If you choose to press on into deepnest, after all the above warnings and clues, the game will plunge you fully into the area, dropping you into the hot spring (after teasing Nosk)

Then there’s the whole rest of deepnest. Think about all of these items, in the context of “the player is on their guard, they know they’re in danger, how do we keep them engaged, and keep this massive area fresh”

Design elements employed in the deepnest exploration loop:
-Enemies that resurrect
-ever changing background room art. Deepnest is secretly composed of nothing but sub areas, but you can’t tell because every 2 rooms has a new little tweak or theme attached to it.
(See the sets of rooms leading up to and including tram/village/galien/Nosk/garpede/basin/queens)
-Massive size coupled with high reward density. Deepnest exploration is taxing but TC made it rewarding, and then they let you do a shitload of it. Progress in an environment so hostile is thus so much more concrete.

[twilit vector]

did chatgpt whip this up for you?

[brittle garnet]

There is an argument to be made that normalizing such jokes leads to overall worse outcomes, but the people who say the most offensive jokes about queers are the most queer people i know so honestly im not sure

[inner locust]

nah tbh the first time i played, i was so scared to go into deepnest i stopped playing for a full week

[tawdry valley]

I wrote it myself. Cause I grew up not cheating

[young breach]

whats bro on about

[south portal]

its scary and dark which means it SUCKS

plus no good boss

[heady iron]

https://youtu.be/6oMB0cH-EsI?si=43Kg3d2KdBGoQBft

[tawdry valley]

Nosk is pretty good

[twilit vector]

take an english class

[south portal]

ah its the twitter guy

[tawdry valley]

And most overworld bosses are thematically focused

[inner locust]

tf did i kmiss

[young breach]

thats not a productive response

[brittle garnet]

Honestly deepnest was apparently supposed to be a good chunk larger byt they had to cut it because of time constraints, i would really love to see what they had planned for it

[twilit vector]

and yours was??

[heady iron]

Rip giant spider boss

[tawdry valley]

You’re thinking about the hive

[twilit vector]

insane hypocrisy

[south portal]

only dreamer not to have a boss

[young breach]

yes, absolutely. why wouldnt it be

[tawdry valley]

The area is the boss

[south portal]

bad premise

[twilit vector]

least obvious ragebait tbh

[tawdry valley]

And that doesn’t alter the level design

[charred herald]

ss-discussion users try not to argue about literally every single thing challenge (possible, if you tried, holy shit)

[brittle garnet]

That too, but i remember someone saying that they said in an interview that deepnest was gonna be larger

[heady iron]

https://tenor.com/view/kids-youre-both-just-awful-family-guy-gif-15168086

[tawdry valley]

Plus what are we comparing it to. Uumuu? Watcher knights?

[young breach]

<@&283547423706447872> toxic

[brittle garnet]

The giant spider boss in some trailer definitely got cut at least

[tawdry valley]

Yeah

[charred herald]

sans undertale

[south portal]

uumuu is ass watcher knights are great

literally unplayable, i hate this discord server

[atomic sparrow]

this isn't thte #sk-discussion i love !

[marsh ibex]

The only one who has the right to forgive is God.

I am but an arbiter of the law

[charred herald]

so true

i don't love this channel either

[south portal]

silksong släpps imorn tro mig

[twilit vector]

what

[marsh ibex]

anyways stop arguing about what I said to not do be quiet

[tawdry valley]

We were talking about characters that died earlier

[south portal]

u need a charm to understand

im like the mushroom

[twilit vector]

i respect it

[young breach]

bro what

[marsh ibex]

technically grubfather never dies on screen

[tawdry valley]

Yeah

[charred herald]

wait what the hell

[tawdry valley]

This list format is ass

[marsh ibex]

Do you think his kids will just burst out or will they eat out

[tawdry valley]

I’m just running out of lists to steer the convo

[charred herald]

aren't like half of these alive at the end of the game

[tawdry valley]

It’s a pop for sure

[marsh ibex]

is there even enough grubfather to eat?

do I need to cleanse myself of my iniquity?

[twilit vector]

burst

[lone crown]

What proof do we have of Ogrim dying wtf? Just cause he leaves after 5 WD wins doesn’t mean he’s dead right

[tawdry valley]

Perhaps they eat each other

[twilit vector]

if you use ddark on grubfather he should burst

[marsh ibex]

I think it would be really funny

[tawdry valley]

These are meant to be characters that don’t die

[atomic sparrow]

he's just chilling in the other room

lmao.

[tawdry valley]

But the list is garbage

[lone crown]

Wait im stupid

[tawdry valley]

So some actually do die

[lone crown]

I saw a few that do die

[marsh ibex]

like DD just goes to palace grounds

[tawdry valley]

No, I literally have characters that do die

[lone crown]

And iw as like oh this is about dead characters

[tawdry valley]

The list sucks

[marsh ibex]

See WP gone

He starts sobbing

[atomic sparrow]

DD ? descending dark ?

[charred herald]

nah he just has a mental breakdown because he keeps dreaming about this small weird-ass vessel defeating him for a week straight

trust me

[brittle garnet]

Why is bardoon and Oro here? Or midwife. Or fluke hermit. Or divine. Or jiji. Or Ogrim

[tawdry valley]

I do however think the list works because the emotions are correct

[marsh ibex]

Nah he likes that actually

“Gallantly reacts to being defeated”

[tawdry valley]

Because the tier they are in would describe how I feel like if they died

[brittle garnet]

Ohh i see

[marsh ibex]

P sure that’s in his journal entry

[charred herald]

okay good i

[lucid holly]

Finished wilds

Insanely peak

[brittle garnet]

Already?

[charred herald]

i thought you were talking about something else

[brittle garnet]

Or just the story?

[lucid holly]

The main story

All 6 chapters

[brittle garnet]

Ah yes tutorial is over

[lucid holly]

Exactly

[brittle garnet]

Now the real game begins

[lone crown]

I hope Ogrim just moved on and stopped dwelling on the past and hiding in a dead kingdom, it gave me that vibe in his dialogue before leaving

[lucid holly]

I fucking hate nata in the first 3 chapters of the story

[lone crown]

But we’ll never know

[charred herald]

that's a really nice perspective! i haven't seen much argumentation on what ogrim does, since he's not really an integral part of the game

[brittle garnet]

I am currently still on ||Jin Dahaad|| but i also hate Nata up until this point

[lucid holly]

He gets better over the story but is still miserable

You aren’t gonna be a hunter lil bro

[woeful matrix]

i am ogrim

whos ogrim

[brittle garnet]

I also think it was a bit awkwardly explained that ||several years have passed between the scene where they found him and the scene where we begin the expedition||

[lucid holly]

Yea

[charred herald]

maintenance guy

[uncut citrus]

It's the noise you make when you enter the circus for the first time

[lucid holly]

Also || he goes from hating arkveld for destroying his village to being it’s best fucking friend||

[uncut citrus]

Oh! Grimm

[atomic sparrow]

nah

this can't be

[lucid holly]

Why in the hell does he go on quests with us bro is like 5

[atomic sparrow]

wait...both ogrim and grimm are red...

[uncut citrus]

It is...

Hegamol is the Ogrim!

[atomic sparrow]

ohhhhhhhhh

[uncut citrus]

That's the only logical conclusion

[charred herald]

the ogrim

😭

[lone crown]

YES

[charred herald]

idk why that's so funny to me

behold the Ogrim

[finite flax]

n

[brittle garnet]

Also i just yesterday realized that ||the Arkveld from the demo is likely the original, real Arkveld. Non-Guardian||

[uncut citrus]

I feel you'd like that because you're a "Hegamol is the" fan and also an Ogrim fan, it just makes sense

[lone crown]

Maggot is the*

Maggot is the Hegemol.

[finite flax]

hedgemol

[lucid holly]

Yea do we not fight it later?

[brittle garnet]

Idk i havent gotten that far

As i said im still on ||Jin Dahaad repel||

[atomic sparrow]

has anybody drawn what hegemol could've looked like without his armour for funsies

[brittle garnet]

I actually triple carted on it lol

[lucid holly]

What weapon u using

[brittle garnet]

Hunting horn

And Lance

[uncut citrus]

Then uh

[versed pollen]

Maggot

[uncut citrus]

Maggot is the Ogrim

?

[brittle garnet]

But it was very late so i probably was just tired and performing poorly

[lone crown]

Maggot is in fact the Ogrim

[lucid holly]

Insect glaive peak

[lone crown]

Why do you think he lives with them

[uncut citrus]

I feel it was the opposite still

Like, you say the maggit

Maggot

[lucid holly]

Also insect glaive is strong

[uncut citrus]

You don't say the Hegemol

[brittle garnet]

It probably is but i mained IG in sunbreak and it was so easy compared to all other weapons i had basically never learned any monster moveset

[opaque sigil]

me in 4u

[lone crown]

#hk-lore message

[brittle garnet]

So it ended up with me unable to succeed with anything else

[lone crown]

Wait

Thats not the right link

Let me find the original original

[brittle garnet]

Like for real my heavensent insect glaive set in sunbreak is so goddamn strong and easy to use

[opaque sigil]

it's pretty strong in wilds too

[lone crown]

HERE’s the original #hk-lore message

[brittle garnet]

Not as strong im sure because no kinsect slash

[opaque sigil]

uuuuh you'd maybe be surprised

[brittle garnet]

Helicopter actually has a long enough animation to allow you to get hit sometimes

Kinsect slash is not only instant and aimed but it also has iframes

[opaque sigil]

true it is slower and less invulnerable

but it has crazy damage output

[brittle garnet]

Welp

Do the kinsects have interesting unique properties?

[opaque sigil]

and you can kinda chain focus strikes

[opaque sigil]

they have unique properties I haven't used it enough to really know how interesting

[brittle garnet]

Ok

Cause the sunbreak ones were really great

Kinsects are a great avenue for playstyle variation to emerge in IG

If the devs actually explore it

[opaque sigil]

you don't have the powder/assist/speed but each kinsect has traits

[uncut citrus]

So I was RIGHT

I stay winning

And slaying

[brittle garnet]

Yeah i figured as much but idk how impactful those traits are

[opaque sigil]

idk either

[brittle garnet]

Ideally the kinsect would make the difference between choosing aerial or grounded style

Lance is really great in wilds

Insane glowup

[opaque sigil]

I’m having trouble getting damage out of it

[brittle garnet]

So basically

You know the charge counter

Circle+guard

[opaque sigil]

Yeah the timing just hasn’t clicked yet

When it’s worked it does a ton

[brittle garnet]

If you let an attack actually hit your shield you do the least damage

[opaque sigil]

ik

that just triggers like a normal attack

[brittle garnet]

Counter intuitive

But yeah i didn't realise that

Also power guard into retribution thrust is good

Or perfect guard into a finisher

[opaque sigil]

yeah I've been doing that, it's easier to get off than charge counter

[brittle garnet]

The damage from lance comes from never having downtime

[opaque sigil]

it's not like I don't have any clue how to use lance, I've hunted arkveld with it, it's just slower than other weapons for me atm

[brittle garnet]

Yeah its got some caveats and feels sluggish despite how mobile it actually is

[opaque sigil]

adding the charge to my offense def helped

[brittle garnet]

Also midthrust combo is faster than high thrust

So thats someting to consider during openings

[opaque sigil]

yeah mid thrust is my main damage dealer

when I can't counter

[brittle garnet]

I usually use high thrust

[opaque sigil]

does it do more damage?

[brittle garnet]

But in openings i use leaping thrust into sweep inti high thrust into either triple poke or charge counter

[wheat sail]

mid

[brittle garnet]

Yes

[opaque sigil]

I see

[lone crown]

No you werent

Scroll further smh

[brittle garnet]

It deals a bit more damage per poke, but is slightly slower to execute

[uncut citrus]

WHAT

[opaque sigil]

well triple thrust combo does let you guard faster so probably still better when the monster is a threat

[brittle garnet]

Yeah

And the combo finisher is interchangable anyways

[rustic ore]

i dont actually think High Thrust has different MVs than Mid Thrust

[brittle garnet]

You can do mid mid high thrust since the 3rd poke deals more damage

[brittle garnet]

It does

[opaque sigil]

stabbing the head is also good

[brittle garnet]

Yes

[lone crown]

🤓

[brittle garnet]

My biggest issue with lance so far is turning

[opaque sigil]

I have done some gunlance, it's fun but it's basically 75% fumbling 25% relentless super hits

[brittle garnet]

GunLance felt super awkward to me in rise and world

[opaque sigil]

wyrmstake full blast spam

[brittle garnet]

I didn't understand the combo strings

[rustic ore]

gunlance in general was always at least a little awkward tbh

[brittle garnet]

They felt very unintuitive

[rustic ore]

but wilds GL feels great

feels like the "gun" part is finally the main focus

[uncut citrus]

This is obviously said by Deleted User, and not you, smh 🙄

[opaque sigil]

at the end of the day in wilds you can shelling -> moving wide sweep -> [various calamitous bullshit for the monster]

overhead smash getting worked in is nice but not super necessary

[rustic ore]

perfect guard into sweeping fullburst my beloved

[brittle garnet]

Id describe it like. Playing gunlance feels like piloting a tank or a mech, but not in a game but irl fiddling with controls and levers

[rustic ore]

ah my nitro's gone

such is life

[opaque sigil]

also wyvern fire is super satisfying and I think focus mode helps a lot with like aiming your shit

[rustic ore]

c'est la vie

you could aim wyverns fire in world anyway

and rise

[opaque sigil]

you could

[rustic ore]

yeah

[opaque sigil]

but focus mode means you're like always aiming

it's much more natural imo

[brittle garnet]

Gunlance honestly is probably just objectively better because your shells scale damage now

[rustic ore]

its exactly the same way to aim as world

same buttons n everything

[carmine island]

@rustic ore consult the graph

[rustic ore]

what

[opaque sigil]

I've also been pleasantly surprised by bowguns, hbg in particular is a blast and I like that the loop can incorporate mounted combat pretty well

[rustic ore]

muffin what does this mean

[opaque sigil]

ride and shoot > get off and ignition gun the monster > climb back on and shoot normally

[brittle garnet]

That's weird because i heard from prolific bowgun mains that they hate it because they lost like half the features

[opaque sigil]

well I'm not a bowgun main

[brittle garnet]

Fair

[opaque sigil]

idk

[brittle garnet]

But yeah they did get giganerfed

[carmine island]

It’s pretty obvious

[opaque sigil]

I can tell it's streamlined in some respects but I don't really mind it?

[brittle garnet]

Not being able to improve recoil and reload is a huge nerf

[rustic ore]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/586931790208434203/1272324046113214576/image0.gif

[wheat sail]

pengu vs you in ultrakill leaderboards?

[opaque sigil]

recoil was only really an issue with lbg in rapid fire mode for me

and reload isn't exactly slow so

[rustic ore]

nuh uh

[jade canopy]

Is Lance even stronger now in wild ?

[brittle garnet]

Well depends on bowgun, but higher recoils and reload means lower dps

[carmine island]

Peng beat me in the ultrakill leaderboard so I had to delete his steam account it’s for the best

[jade canopy]

I heard many things about lance (never played monster hunter)

[rustic ore]

rise was a while ago

we're in Wilds

[wheat sail]

in the wilds

[jade canopy]

Same thing (surely)

[wheat sail]

youre lucky i dont show off my tas skills

[rustic ore]

some ppl would jump you for that i think

[opaque sigil]

ignition mode turns the hbg into a proper machine gun which is great

[brittle garnet]

Previously different bowguns would have different recoil and reload for the same ammos, now theyre all tied to the ammo itself

[carmine island]

Ultrakill tas would be crazy and I’d love to see that

[jade canopy]

throws 7 coins

[brittle garnet]

So basically now certain ammos dont have a niche anymore

[rustic ore]

i didnt think HBG mains actually existed

(i know only one)

[opaque sigil]

I'm not a main I've just been messing around a bit

[brittle garnet]

Also for some reason the mods for bowguns only affect the basic 3 raw ammos and elementals

[rustic ore]

what

why

[brittle garnet]

So any playstyle that isnt those is less viable

[opaque sigil]

they also affect ignition mode for hbg or special ammo for lbg

[rustic ore]

speaking of raw ammo the HBG main i know specifically uses Normal 3

[brittle garnet]

And pierce basically got buffed above everything else

[brittle garnet]

Yeah but i was talking about regular ammo

[opaque sigil]

the raw ammos are pretty good it seems like?

at least with hbg

[brittle garnet]

Normals are always rapidfire now

[rustic ore]

i mean he's always only ever used normal 3s

[opaque sigil]

oh

[rustic ore]

and he's like

[brittle garnet]

Pierce is the best now

[opaque sigil]

seems like a weird choice to never use elemental shots but whatever

[rustic ore]

an MH1 player

he's been here since the old times

[wheat sail]

nobody be playing mh that much

[opaque sigil]

pierce is pretty good

[brittle garnet]

Spread dethroned

[rustic ore]

pierce makes funny popcorn noises

[twilit vector]

pierce? elden ring reference

[rustic ore]

therefore i welcome our new piercing overlords

[opaque sigil]

I tend to just empty my entire bowgun before swapping to pierce and using that until either the monster flees or I have a good chance to mass reload

[brittle garnet]

For some reason spread doesnt have critical distance at point blank anymore, but normal does

[rustic ore]

spread crit distance not being point blank quite literally makes zero sense

[opaque sigil]

spread is weird

fun to use from your seikret kinda annoying on foot

[twilit vector]

wait why arent you pink anymore it still says youre server boosting

[brittle garnet]

Its slightly out from point blank but it seems like a balance decision to curb shield spread builds

[rustic ore]

thats like saying "take this SPAS-12. if you shoot them at point blank range they wont die, so stand back and do it"

[opaque sigil]

I sorta see a point?

[rustic ore]

nitro ran out

[brittle garnet]

Also Ballistics now only extends outer critical distance, not inner

[twilit vector]

😔

[rustic ore]

as i typed it i started to slightly understand

like more pellets hits more of an area

but concentrated fire on one specific part is best at extremely close range so

[brittle garnet]

Them hitting a smaller area is still probably better tho

[opaque sigil]

it's more interesting to try to keep the monster in front of you at a close distance than to just stand between its legs and shoot

[brittle garnet]

Realistically

Maybe ill try it

[rustic ore]

when do we get Sniper Ammo that isnt Wyvernsnipe

[brittle garnet]

I hated bowguns in rise because

[opaque sigil]

oh and you can also do focus blasts from your seikret which is fun

[brittle garnet]

Ranged weapons force u to use different controls

And in World you can have conflicting controls

[opaque sigil]

hbg does have guard on x+a which is weird but you get used to it

trigger is shoot

[rustic ore]

I want a slew of heavy shots from long range that don't do the Pierce thing but instead do 1 instance of damage and hit like a train

Wyvernsnipe would be the big kahuna and it just does what it do best

[brittle garnet]

But in rise and wilds you cant have the same buttons for different things even when you cant do those things at the same time (you can for some things in wilds but not rise)

I play kb+m

[opaque sigil]

ah

dunno what that looks like there

[slender vortex]

Question im on steam i saw on like google that there were DLC's but all i see is gods n Nightmares

[opaque sigil]

bow is also a blast

[rustic ore]

yeah MH on KBM is cursed in my experience

[opaque sigil]

I love the fucking magnet arrow

[brittle garnet]

Basically in rise it was awkward because you dont always aim the gun and aiming gun and wirebug had to be different buttons

[rustic ore]

like why is LS Spirit Combo on MOUSE 4

[rustic ore]

magnet?? frontier reference???

[brittle garnet]

I do special attack (guard, spirit combo, etc.) on Ctrl

[twilit vector]

theyre included for free in main game

[brittle garnet]

E or R for item use, Q for item wheel

[slender vortex]

thanks

[twilit vector]

np

[brittle garnet]

I am also left handed and use left hand for mouse

[rustic ore]

suplexes you cutely

[brittle garnet]

I press spacebar with the palm of my hand

[rustic ore]

left handed mouse what the fuck

im left handed and thats cursed as fuck what do you MEAN

[brittle garnet]

Im too used to it any other control scheme just doesnt work for me

I guess when i started using the pc nobody told me to use mouse with my right hand

And i was already left handed so i figured, yknow

[charred herald]

thank you

[rustic ore]

i dont even have the words ngl

[charred herald]

🙏

[brittle garnet]

It is genuinely very uncomfortable to me to use a controller

[rustic ore]

WAIT WHAT

IT GETS WORSE

[brittle garnet]

Its very easy im used to it

[opaque sigil]

There is something very satisfying about usin the hbg guard to tank a ohko attack and just burst through with wyvernheart active like the heavy from tf2

[brittle garnet]

Large surface area

[rustic ore]

where did you spawn from

[twilit vector]

they should make mirrored controllers im surprised they dont already

[brittle garnet]

Poland

[rustic ore]

ah

[brittle garnet]

They barely make mirrored mice

[fiery burrow]

blud ditched swaxe for HEAVY BOW GUN

[brittle garnet]

Left handed mice are rarely produced and most are super expensive

[opaque sigil]

I HAVE NOT

[fiery burrow]

yeah right buddy

[twilit vector]

you can switch the inputs cant you? or are you talking about ones with side buttons

[opaque sigil]

I’M USING A BUNCH OF SHIT I AM A SWAXE MAIN

[fiery burrow]

Beware the pipeline

[brittle garnet]

That and also a lot of mice are asymmetrical

I also dont switch left vs right click

O use middle finger for left click

And pointer for right click

[twilit vector]

that is horrifying

respectfully

[brittle garnet]

Its still left and right click

[twilit vector]

its just weird for me

[brittle garnet]

Well yeah naturally

[rustic ore]

no wait i just tried that
it is so close to making sense but then you said middle finger is left click instead of right click

[brittle garnet]

In the left hand?

[silver oak]

Idk if I’ve ever seen you this riled up

[brittle garnet]

When you put your fingers on the buttons, middle is on the left and pointer is on the right

[opaque sigil]

Star questioned my loyalty to the goat

[rustic ore]

i know that, i tried it the way you said

[brittle garnet]

Its easier in my brain to understand it that way than to switch

[rustic ore]

it's still weird bc in that instance i would just mirror the functions

[brittle garnet]

Left is left

[rustic ore]

i mean if it works for you

[brittle garnet]

Its the only way ive done it my whole life

[rustic ore]

but holy mother of god thats a lore bomb i wasnt ready to deal with

flashbanged by mouse buttons

wait this begs the question

do left handed mice auto-switch the left and right click buttons' functions?

[brittle garnet]

Idk

Ive never had a left handed mouse

[rustic ore]

https://tenor.com/view/belle-zenless-zone-zero-stress-stressed-shaking-gif-12809205084262581748

[brittle garnet]

As i said they're hard to get

And most are very expensive VERTICAL mice for some reason

[rustic ore]

ergonomics' sake apparently

[brittle garnet]

Like 90% of asymmetrical mice dont sell a left handed variant

[twilit vector]

losing out on a big market

[brittle garnet]

Ive just been using a symmetrical mouse or just using a right handed mouse with my left hand

But i switched that one after a while

I actually only realized like last 2 years or so that using mouse in the left hand is unusual

[twilit vector]

have you ever actually tried switching the inputs

[brittle garnet]

I never thought about it before

[twilit vector]

valid

[rustic ore]

honestly im coming up with a similar price range for the mice (a couple of these are right handed but ignore that)
they seem to come close to matching the prices of their right handed variants

[brittle garnet]

Yeah it didnt work out too well

[rustic ore]

maybe thats just bc im in america or smth. smth to do with shipping

i think i have a razer basilisk last i checked

hang on

[brittle garnet]

Only one of these is left handed

The one for 180

[twilit vector]

i mean three are symmetrical so who knows

[rustic ore]

the one on the far left is left handed

[serene chasm]

Lefties deserve to pay more for being evil sinners

[brittle garnet]

No

[rustic ore]

also i was nor aware of that lmao

[brittle garnet]

Oh wait maybe it is

[twilit vector]

the one for 180 isnt though so youre still right

[brittle garnet]

Yeah the buttons are on the right so it is left handed

[rustic ore]

????????

[brittle garnet]

Since you press those with ur thumb

[twilit vector]

clicky 😍

[brittle garnet]

I misread the price i meant the one for 39

Actually i goofed the last one is left handed too

[twilit vector]

i thought that was for your thumb to rest on

[brittle garnet]

Yeah left handed mouse are most often not for gaming but for like, office work

[rustic ore]

yeah the one on the far right is still right handed. looks a lot like mine

[brittle garnet]

I thought so too but its actually not

[twilit vector]

damn

[brittle garnet]

Oh wait no

It is

[rustic ore]

180 is a right handed mouse

[brittle garnet]

It has buttons on the left

[rustic ore]

thats where your palm rests

[serene chasm]

honestly. Gaming mice are overrated anyways. All those extra buttons arent that useful

[rustic ore]

buttons on the left are for your thumb

[brittle garnet]

Some of the flaps are for your thumb and some are for your palm

[rustic ore]

true you really only need a couple extra buttons

[tawdry valley]

I’ve been running logitech office mice for over a decade

[brittle garnet]

I just want one extra button that i can press easily

[rustic ore]

mouse 4 and 5 are goated

but anything past that is unnecessary

[tawdry valley]

2 extra buttons is fine but the dealbreaker is just being a decent size

[serene chasm]

logitech makes good mice.

[brittle garnet]

So wait mice 2 and 5 are the only left handed ones

[rustic ore]

dark mode activated once again

this feels weird now ngl

it seems that way

[cunning geode]

more than like 3 extra buttons and it’s a moba player thing

i do get a lot of use outta two extra buttons for my thumb though

[brittle garnet]

I bought a wired mouse because i got tired of the battery running out but the cable is stiff and it makes using it annoying too

[tawdry valley]

In all honesty the main thing holding back light mode is the font

[rustic ore]

mouse 1* is actually the only left handed mouse there

whats wrong w the font?

[steady sage]

i get a li'l use outta them as a RoR2 player :3

[tawdry valley]

People’s messages are the least easy thing to read

[brittle garnet]

Ah yes i confused it again lol

[rustic ore]

lmao

[rustic ore]

red

haha

[tawdry valley]

Yeah yeah

[cunning geode]

melee and grenades for halo, sr50 setups for doom

[rustic ore]

what do you mean tho

[cunning geode]

now that i think of it, i don’t use those buttons for TF2

hm

[rustic ore]

i dont see a functional difference

i use my buttons for terraria mostly ngl

[tawdry valley]

It’s literally the least accentuated text

[twilit vector]

genuinely is there a way to turn off grimmchilds disgusting obnoxious mewling

he doesnt shut up

[rustic ore]

i have heal and teleports set to mouse 4 and 5

[tawdry valley]

Unequip garbage to disable garbage

[rustic ore]

the only way to shut grimmchild up is to not use him

[cunning geode]

no you just have to remove the grimmchild charm

[opaque sigil]

😭 I just wanted to hunt a rathian

[twilit vector]

im doing the flames unfortunately

[rustic ore]

what happened tmamo

[opaque sigil]

another rathian and a rathalos

[rustic ore]

ohhhhhhhh

i see them now

yikes

[cunning geode]

spoilers jeez how was i supposed to know there is gonna be a rathian in wilds

[rustic ore]

rath brought the whole harem

[tawdry valley]

If a hunt goes wrong what stops you from leaving

Out of curiosity

[rustic ore]

nothing really

but there's no real reason to think this can't just happen again

[tawdry valley]

Does “going wrong” just mean takes longer then

[serene chasm]

I wanna ask. what is the gameplay loop of MH?

[rustic ore]

yes

[formal whale]

Don’t use him

He is garbage

[rustic ore]

takes longer, more dangerous, more annoying

[twilit vector]

doing flames

[tawdry valley]

Hunt monster for new gear, use gear on monster hunt, repeat

[opaque sigil]

this is nothing though I once was hunting an arkveld and for like five minutes another arkveld showed up and stuck around

[brittle garnet]

Fight monster to get materials for better gear to fight stronger monster

[tawdry valley]

You hunt monsters

[serene chasm]

are the monsters always in the world or do you have to choose which ones to go after

[brittle garnet]

Both

[rustic ore]

Rathian is annoying enough with her penchant for pain train and poison tactics. throw in a second one, it's hell. throw in RathaLOS (the male) and it's the same thing, but FLYING

[tawdry valley]

Idk about wilds specifically

[rustic ore]

monsters naturally spawn in the world

but theyre not guaranteed spawns

[opaque sigil]

I actually really like wilds rathalos

[rustic ore]

so you should ideally start up a quest hunting a specific one if you want that one

[brittle garnet]

There are several locales, and monsters live in specific ones. Usually a given monster will always be in its locale

[rustic ore]

Raths tend to like forests

[brittle garnet]

You can also yeah, go to a quest board to choose a specific quest to fight a specific monster

[opaque sigil]

being in the air makes focus attacks more dependent on taking advantage of opportunities he gives and his big fire aoes make seikrets less of a 'get out of danger free'

[brittle garnet]

Certain monsters arent bound to one locale and can be all over

[rustic ore]

this is true

like good old Bazelgeuse

[formal whale]

Turn off volume idk

[rustic ore]

normally you would find him in the Elder's Recess or Wildspire Waste

[twilit vector]

might try

[rustic ore]

however

[brittle garnet]

But when you view the world map you can see what monster is in each locale, there can be 3 or 4 at once in one locale

[rustic ore]

Bazel does not give a shit

Bazel goes where he pleases

he can be found on literally any map

[twilit vector]

got rid of the little rat

[brittle garnet]

King shit

[twilit vector]

i can finally use mark of pride again

[rustic ore]

[brittle garnet]

Also bazel is my favourite monster

[rustic ore]

Bazelgeuse is literally coded to respond to active battle and dive straight into it headfirst

[brittle garnet]

Something i noticed is that he almost always misses the 180 aerial fire sweep

[rustic ore]

easy for you to say

that shit is like a 50/50 gamble with my life

[brittle garnet]

Like he literally flies a bit away before using it and it positions him so that it misses

At least for me when i fought the first rathalos in game (story) because i havent gotten to high rank yet

So maybe normal rathalos doesnt do that
