wait so dyno sends a clown on hearing april 2?
man i love this game
4/2
ok so saying the second of april bypasses the system
It won't happen on the cake day so I'm just gonna sit and wait for Xbox showcase in summer
I am CONFIDENT in a 2025 release date tho
next skill that Io learns is a slight party heal š¤¤
you figured it out~!
333...1973
Thats messed up
are you sure
No idk who that is
Marcus A. Viltrumite
Whats a Viltrumite?
wait is this corn
Yes
theyre like humans but they can fly and are stronger
thats it pretty much
it's like a kryptonian crossed with a saiyan
I see
thats a better definition
actually
theyre just kryptonians
with no magic powers like laser beams or anything
š«
Self portrait
i am depressed for my false hope
are you sure [silksong tomorrow]?
I can't wait for next direction be over
i cant wait
Considering how bad they were yesterday I'm sure the direct not having solksong next week will be at least as bad
lemme guess, it wasnt even mentioned in the direct?
No why would it
It was mentioned but the name was changed and it goes like "tomodachi life"
It was a shitty voice-over direct with almost exclusively Japanese games. By the second trailer everyone should have known silksong wasn't going to be there
Can't wait for the next batch of cozy life sims and classic rpg remakes next week
500 farm games on their way
Wait fuck
We talking about April 2nd and shit
But before that is Aprilās fool
I have stuff to do for Aprilās fool
how come this genre got so popular alongside roguelikes?
Ok GG on the mods for the auto react, that is peak
Easy to make
Who even plays these? Like, how many variations of stardew valley can you play?
that does make sense, but such oversaturation certainly isnt helping...
very valid question,how much different from one another can they even be? The only new one that is hailed as incredible is Fields of Mistria, I think at least
(Coming from a metroidvania enthusiast)
We need a shellraze remakeš
Instead of mossbag
Why dont we sacrafice this guy
actually lemme blur the name first so yall know its a joke and dont witchhunt
Hello silkers
Heyā¦

Silk⦠song⦠not⦠inā¦. directā¦.
thats ok i think
Ayo why do you abuse vessels
It's okay bud you'll be okay
Hopeā¦. 2ndā¦.. aprilā¦.
I said id have a vessel as a pet and someone called me a vessel abuser
Now I am
Cool
You mean cope š
Whatā¦. doesā¦. itā¦. meanā¦?
š§
I⦠am⦠new⦠toā¦. theā¦. communityā¦. sryā¦.
That's fine
BELEIVE
Hi Mia 
Yeahā¦.
Just keep believingā¦
Hello I woke up up at 2am
Whats cope tho
Saying itāll come out
Denial
Yeah

april 2nd or nothing
Nerf or nothing
I didnāt wait for 6 years, i am kinda new so i got tons of hope
samee
yep
Hello gays
Absolut what?
Hey
oh hiiii
Are yall still crying or smth or did yall embrace peak in tomodachi life and rythm heaven
yep
First option
PATAPON š£ļø š„
This chat so lame
that palm-tree scene....... it broke me
When will yall stop rhinking about mid
2am....2....April....April 2nd.
This direct was a win for everyone
No thats me
did yall thought its gonna be silksong for "last game"
No
I was not sure
Didn't watch it
I wasted my time
++
So true! Was marvels latest game.announced there?
except us
Don't know Didn't watch it
No even you
tomodachi life
I thought it would be near the end but not at the end but my opinion moved
whyy
If yoj arent happy about tomodachii 2 then you dont deserve it to be a win
I think
Because patapon is PEAK
It was pixel
i dont have nintendo((
Get one smh
buy for me)
Im not really sad but frustrated
Why would i buy you
jk'
I donāt need
Slavery was aboloshed
Lmao
Its like very illegal and very inmoral
not at all
Give him money, he will buy
Also btd6 update hell yeahhh
No-
everyone always talks about btd6 but what about btdb
Huh
Battle is peak battle 2 is meh
I went from anxious on the edge of my seat to stone-faced
theres a 2nd btdb?
Yeah
Yeah but itās ass compared to 1 imo
Mark your calendar
(immense copium)
How can you call btdb2 ass when btdb2 added the among us tower,,,
engineer monkey GO
SHE-RA ADORA SKIN
said a man in a crazy fever
it MIGHT happen though
Milksong is real
Skillsong
Eww no
Slicksong
very valid honestly, at this point noone knows, I wonder what the upsides of almost zero communication between the dev team and the community are
Hmmm I have enough time for a mirror dungeon
I don't think there are any except maybe less threats from ppl every time a news is released but no release date
Thats a good point yeah
but yeah can we have like SOMETHING, like "yeah we still working on it"
the game might as well been abandoned for past 3 years all we know
people on the internet arent the kindest folks
just like how the person behind the marketing (whose name I forgot) mentioned so in January if Im not mistaken, lets HOPE thats not the case I cant 
Yeah but when we do get that ppl are still angry that it's just that
I just want to know Milksong is real that's all I need š
It is real, I'm 100000% sure
Oh okay
what happened to valuntein ā¹ļø
levelling up my pixie persona because they finally learned a good move holy balls
Gone but not forgotten

We already know they're working on it
Do yāall think the Grimm troupe will be in silksong
i think it's confirmed
take that with a pretty large grain of salt though it was a while ago when i was told that and they could have been lying...
literally what are you talking about
No it isnāt???
the most that'd make sense for the troupe would be a corpse in a hidden corner
read my above message man
and even that may be at odds with the narrative
yeah but you still told them āI think itās confirmedā and they believed you
bro if you donāt know just donāt say anything this is how misinformation spreads
i see
as a general rule, anything you hear about silksong that is not immediately followed with evidence from an official source is horseshit until proven otherwise
edmund you little
they need the silk because they want to use it to bind isaac
No way it's all coming together
APRIL 2ND FOR SURE
I agree tbh
13 Haste š„
What if Silksong was Metroid Prime 4 this entire time
I can belive that both are mid
No
I think that Grimm troupe will stay in hollow knight
Maybe theyāll reference it tho
I hope so
Literally my favorite part of the og game
He should
I wouldn't mind the Grimm troupe but Grimm him self should stay in hk
Team cherry said that there wouldnāt be much magic in the game, and Iām pretty sure that means no dream realm
When did they do that?
Also if itās a sequel they need to account for the fact that the knight banished the Grimm troupe in one of the endings
It wouldn't make sense for them to appear in SS since many players probably banished them in their runs, meaning TC would have to confirm that the route where you complete the ritual is the canon one
Omg you said it before me graaa
Hehe
They don't really need to address that
They could just leave it open for interpretation
Yea by not putting them in SS
Even if there was no Grimm, there will probably be a similar character
So letās not worry
Well there is trobbio
It would be weird for there not to be mentions of the dream realm
That moth/butterfly guy
Since it's implied everyone in the world has minds and dreams like that, not just hallownest
Bro is eating so hard
Definitely interested in what the ancient civilizations were like in Pharloom as compared to hallownest
Maybe there were ppl similar to snail shamans who used soul too
Yeah but also dream realm was part of hollow knight since the infection came in through dreams, but it seems like in silksong the āinfectionā isnāt caused by dreams and more of belief, music and/or puppeteering
Interesting
Maybe there will be some sort of link between them?
Thatād be cool
It seems like weavers are going to be in the game, and herrah the beast who to my knowledge is a weaver, lives in the dream realm
I always thought they were being banished from Hallownest specifically, not the realm. Am I wrong about that?
Itās up for interpretation but I thought personally that we killed the Grimm troupe for good
Hmm. I like that it's up for interpretation. I can see it both ways, just never thought of it like that
Since weavers are gonna be significant in the game it might make sense that the dream realm could be mentioned, or maybe hornet is teleported there in the game (not by dream nail tho since dream nail is owned by knight)
Oh actually I'm not sure, but the way Brumm talks about it implies they're gone forever since you're stopping the entire ritual
Iām fully bought in, Iām setting all my hope on this. Ive had my hopes dashed time and time again and I keep crawling back. Itāll happen this time, Iām sure itā¦Iām certain⦠continues mumbling like a mad man
Ooo yea
Yes trust
I can't believe silksong is shadowdropping at april 2nd
that was the quickest clown reaction I have ever seen
And the switch 2 is also shadow dropping - SS is the launch title
Guys if thereās no silksong yes news by April 2nd I will stop hoping and coping, itās 2025 or never.
I think Metroid or PokĆ©mon will be but weāll see
I think you've been misinformed. ITS SHADOWDROPPING TODAY!!!!!!
CHAATTTTTTT CAHTTTT CHATCHATCHATCHAT
It's either the 2nd or 2027
You are not a true believer my friend
OH MY GOD
Alan becker is making a fucking game and its already been like 400% funded this is so PEAK
That's fire
Will it be as peak as silksong?
God I can't wait for nightreign to come out
Like silksong? ss isn't peak
Alan becker.... ain't he the animation VS animator dude?
Also Ena's dream bbq is out too. It's a almost psychedelic adventure game
Yes
Just say "will it be mid as fuck" theres no need to word it nicely, and no, unlike that, alan becker makes good shit
YES!!!!
Gotcha
I didnāt know he made games
It looks cool as hell but the beta testing tier is 50 bucks and i JUST bough split fiction š
I need to play that
But yeah, don't worry guys I'm sure Silksong will drop, right after elden ring 2
Nuh uh silksong is super peak, especially if it comes out April 2nd please team cherry Iām begging you, like begging begging I canāt take this anymore please
Nobody did, the one who made the animation vs animator mod for rivals of aether inspired them and now theyre working together
My uncles cousins nurses brother who delivers pizza to the apartment across from team cherry's office told me so
Even if Silk isn't released this year, I'm still pretty excited for Constance, it's the 2nd best Hollow-like I've played (behind 9 sols)
Blocked
But peak means that it can't get any better
If u think silksong aināt gonna be peak get out of this chat pls
Theyve already funded like 10 characters and a whole ass roguelite mode
And story mod is in like two goals its been TWO DAYS
Also question, do yall think siljsong will be getting hollow style updates over time? Like the Grimm troupe, life blood, god masters, etc
Silksong will have 160+ new enemies and more than 10 npcs 
If it comes out
Or will we be getting a complete package day one, with all the content already ghere
Im assumming mid cherry is actually going to finish the game unlike with hollow mid 1 where they couldnt and had to add this stuff as ""dlc""
I hope so
Iām trying to keep my head level, I donāt wanna go into it with great expectations and be let down. Iām just wanting more Hollow Knight adventure and lore, nothing more (HK is peak tho)
I want a game.
Yea I think they'll have a couple DLCs at least
Factsā¦
completely fried on first gen antipsychotics
9 sols
I just wanna play as hornet, so she can say her famous line "It's silking time" before she sings all over the place
Anyways i love how they have to be legally distinct from minecraft so they turned the elytras into the wings of a fly and the command block into a laptop lmao
Thereās for sure gonna be a boss rush like godhome, idk howād theyād do it without dream realm tho
They go into the song realm
FOR SURE
Also speaking of youtubers doing video games, didn't mossbag make one?
Cant wait to see how it ends up
TC please we need it ššš
no way its NOT coming out
Don't worry silksong is real
- Me after the lobotomy
lobotomy? like lobotomy corp
Tomorrow for sure
I can't believe it too. so soon we will silk and song!
Also we getting she ra adora in btd6 its been a peak year so far
If no silksong April 2nd, it was all a social experiment, and Iām going into my cave for eternity
If we just say tomorrow every day, we'll be right eventually
Honestly, I don't expect them to drop Silk on apr 2nd. Leth has disproven that already during the chocolate cake incident. I think Silk has a solid chance of being revealed in an xbox event but more likely, they'll drop the trailer on a random day
as I said there no way its NOT coming out
its like 99.9%
I think they'll be shown in a ps showcase, just so that way all the big hitters get a ride on the silksong train
when's the xbox event?
But why would we get clown reaction if it wasnāt April 2nd
It will (Eventually) release, that's true
Maybe something similar to colo
they are trying to silcence us
To call you stupid, basically
april 2 for the win
Anyway
I just hope it's before I get married and have kids. I'll never be able to no life silksong then!
april 1st
Yall should hop on rivals
If we all start saying April 2nd, theyāll be pear pressured
April 2nd
April 2nd
Consider: they went back on it bc hinting towards the release date violated NDAs and they didn't wanna get in legal trouble
š
Iām bad at spel
Lol pear pressured
No thats just called spam
its gonna happen guys we just need some chope
that makes no sense, like, at all
Hii toasty finally someone not cringe and mid
April 2nd.... is indeed a date that exists
Sshhh
May 2nd
š
its surely a date of all time
Hi ismo
Anyways if you actually start spamming youll get muted so
It's not coming april 2nd
Please let April 2nd be silksong š šš
ITS VRESS!!!
Vress
Oh it's automatic, I thought it was someone here doing that
Rename #sk-discussion to #delulu-discussion
april 2nd its gonna happen ššš
Toasty opinions on jeff
What game is this because if this is a game I need to play it
#Skong_Asylum
Guys itās coming out April 2nd, dyno wouldnāt clown kin react us if it wasnāt true
Is shark, is good
this makes total sense and you are right
I donāt thunk itās a game
So true!!! So peak!!! I should buy that figure they dropped a month or two ago
Shark good
Itās like a 20% itās going to happen on April 2nd and 80% itās not.
Shark peak
lets up this to at least 50 50
50 it drops 50 it doesn't
April third
Mhm, all the leaks and Xbox articles and all our combined cope is all making sense now
More like 99.99% itās not gonna happen and a 0.01% chance we get Silksong news on April second
Guys i made a charecter for a totally orignal game, what should I call her?
Toasty is it true that shark
exactly!!
Hornless
Call her bee
Yeah
Or wasp
blornet
Nornet
They should just say in the trailer "not gonna take another year, we promise" and drop the game 364 days after the trailer drop
Apr1l 2nd
APRIL 2ND IS THE DAY OUR COPE BECOMES WORTH IT
april 2nd is the day of april 2nd you totally right
Oh hey leet speak works
APRIL 2ND IS THE DAY THAT DYNO WANTS TO SILENCE
All the signs currently point towards Apr 2nd
APR1L 2ND
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS
I don't even talk in this server but I BELIEVE IN APRIL 2ND
we gain a new believer every second, TC cannot contain us
I belive in the me that believes in you that believes in silksong
Thank you Link's Honda Civic
insert gurren laggan quote here
After all my investigation i can confirm qe need more sharks on this server
Anyway
@quasi salmon Dont spam.
summons sharknado
Itās not spam 
It is
š¤”
Yess thats what i am asking for, more sharks
Me when i dont know the definition of spam
Wth is spam btw, the meat not what clicks is doing
I long for the day that the doubters are eternally humbled
It's just a godless block of ambiguous meat that defys the laws of nature
It probably tastes like shit
Iām just making a motivational speech, because
-# APRIL 2ND IS THE DAY THAT DYNO, XBOX ARTICLES, HORNET, NINTENDO, AND LEAKERS ALL POINT TOWARDS
Sorry
I guess
Is dyno really a trustworthy source
Yes
I only eat foods approved by the FDA Food Deemed-worthy by Amogi
When APR1L 2nd comes and it doesn't happen yall gonna backpeddle like your a video in reverse
What the hell is dyno
Our AI overlord
If no April 2nd, I will attempt to beat pantheon 5
Some bot zal told to clown react anyone with a specific date
the nail will fall on heads of those hesitant once the prophecy manifests
God I need to do that
ok man
Well as we all know AI has never caused any issue for the world before so I think it's very trustworthy
New challenge, pantheon of hallownest every day all bindings until Skong comes out
Hiiii jokyyy
I canāt even beat pantheon 3, am I cooked
Sly is too difficult

I got stuck on pantheon 5 and gave up
Do you even know what an ai is
Never give up, never back down
NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT?
A minor jape if you will
Everyone knows what an ai is, itās the big 2025
-# (The year of silk and song)
A smidgen of tom foolery
WATCHER IN 2 hours WHOHOO
TRUE
nEvER GIvE UP
im gonna buy it asap
Fuck if it this comment gets one thumbs up this becomes a astro bot channel, an acutslly good platformer
Only if silksong was in 2 hoursā¦
downpour dlc opened whole game from a different perspective
silksong news in 5 days btw
Silksong news on April 2nd.... 2027
Gang ion think this community is going to survive April 2nd
0.0051/10 ragebait
Gonna be funny when you guys get disappointed
SO TRUE
God I loved astro bot
Astro bot more like astro peak
Why does the bot keep clown reacting me
Have you played all the new levels
Expensive as hell, 102 dollars where I am, but rock solid
I havent played the fith week one yet i plan on doing so later
Wait is the bot clown reacting anyone who says April 2nd š
What the shitfuck
No, my copy broke and I gotta get a new one
Damn
But they added a buncha time trials and a Christmas level right?
Free content? That's good quality, in MY single player mascot platformer!?!?!
the bot wildcards "April 2nd" and reacts to anything that contains it yes
Yeah i think 11? Christmas, 5 speedruns and 5 earlier this month
Dyno is just another doubter to be proven wrong
Might be wrong with the amount of speedrun levels though
I also need to finish replaying it because its so peak
Anyways, play astro bot if you can, it's an amazing cute and happy game. It gives all the good vibes
I just realized why silksong is taking so long its because of covid they prob couldn't work in 2020, 2021 and maybe 2022.
TRUE
No, ITS TODA-
Chat hop on astro boy
Last I played of astro bot was the speed run levels when they were first added
They quite literally said it didnt affect them
Hey google how 2 get video game 4 free
HES JUST A LITTLE GOOBER LIVING IN YOUR PS5
Itās 10pm for me rn, that feels unlikely
- Rob a bank
I loved astro bot but I wanted either ff7r or elden ring dlc to win goty
oh me dumb
Maybe not the most efficient way but it is the funnest!
Bestie if a dlc won GAME of the year that wouldve been another level of glazing
As someone who loved ff7 rebirth and the shadows of the erd tree, I would have been ok with ff7 or astro winning, but Shadows....
Astro fully deserved it
It's like twice the size of astro bot
They literally say like a week before they announced the nominations thst they added a rule letting dlcs enter into goty
Thats not saying that the others were bad, but lets not act like astro didnt
Ok and
Being "twice the size" doesnt change anything about my statement
I understand why people think it doesn't make sense but SotE was REALLY big and pretty much completely new
Astrobot is quite short anyway
Size doesn't equal quality, if that was true no man's sky would win every year forev3r
That doesnt mean it dont deserve goty
Which it deserves, but not cuz it's a massive game
I think there was confusion here, it was always allowed but they just clarified it after SotE got nominated
NMS just had a metric fuck ton of QoL and new content added over tye years, that's why it's a good game
Yes but the quality was obviously amazing, I mean it's elden ring, I assumed that wasn't people's issue
Acutally people were tough on shadow of the erdtree at launch
Cuz if the scadu tree fragments
Astro bot wouldve been a good game if it had an among us bot
Partially because SotE was tough on them š
(Even tho it's just an incentive to explore, much like how Margit kicking your ass is an incentive so you can get stronger)
That would've been awesome
WILL be awesome once they hear my prayers and add it
Anyway
Do yall think split fiction has a chance at goty, yknow, if THE game doesnt drop this year
Among us goty
Like i kinda doibt gta6 is releasing this year
Oh THE game is definitely dropping
I didn't mind the scadutree fragments, it's not like I bought the dlc for the additions to the scaling and equipment system
Aleays, its disqualified because it owuld never stop winning

Devolpers are already scrambling to delay their games so it doesn't conflict with gta6
I mean do we even know the stage of development on gta6
gta6 gonna flop
Maaaaybe a nomination but even without GTA VI there's a crap ton of nominee-worthy games coming this year
Balatro game of the year 2027
Considering they plan on releasing it this year bug fixes and publishing shit
Don't forget whatevers in the launch window of the Switch 2 is probably coming this year too
gonna be playing powerwash simulator with my friend in a bit ooohhh i'm so excited
Gta6 could be ass we all know its still winning that years goty
Like
Sooo true isnoil
Ngl I have a few issues with the dlc myself, one the final boss is cool and all....but his rewards suck ass. Two ||There's 2 whole demigods in the land of shadows and NONE OF THEM drop any new great runes? And three, I was hoping for more frenzy and sleep stuff beyond like 1 weapon and pot each||
It takes teo did win goty, i dont doubt they can replicate the succes
2 billion dollars btw
No it could lose game of the year if it's too "woke"
don't forget we get a female protagonist this time 
Yeah ik it sucks bc the rockstar fans are gonna bully every other major game, especially Death Stranding 2 which I'm actually really excited for
Not one but TWO!?!?!? this game is ass
SO TRUE
I'm just excited to see how good looking the game will actually be, because of step up from GTA v has to look great
Tbf 2021 was a REALLY dry year
Don't worry, the game awards don't matter and are rigged. Unless something i like wins in which case their totally legit
God forbid women exist
100 gazillion dollars
No such thing what are you talking about
||it wouldn't make sense for them to have great runes, besides I don't think I ever even used them in the base game||
Lmao real
See ||Messmer I can see not getting a great runes, even tho his logo litterly looks like one. But miquilla does. It just... broke so it's only used to fend off the one time brainwash status effect you encounter in one fight with one attack||
Can't wait for us to fight the final boss in elden ring nightreign, only for the camera to pan over and show us SOLAIRE THATS RIGHT HES THE TRUE FINAL BOSS THE GAME
Solitaire
Idk why people say Bayle was carried by Igon he was like the least cool part of the fight
And Igon is cool af so that's saying a lot
Tbh i liked igon for the va work. Phenomenal
God bayle was so fucking cool
Shame you can only get one spell per NG cycle
His phase transition is like the coolest transition for a boss ever
guys rate my hornet OC
So basically it's hornet but green and smokes zaza
WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS!!!
I am glad we didn't get any sister freide shit tho
As much as I love ds3 and it's dlc, that 3 phase fight is ROUGH
Multiple healthbar fights are so rarely done right
"OK fight a boss. Ok now fight two. OK now fight the first boss but she's even stronger. Oh you died better restart from the first phase"
Silksong this year trust trust
Healthbars should be what they are, an actual indicator of the boss's health. If you're going to give a boss 2 or 3 there's needs to be a good reason they regain that health, like how Malenia literally becomes a goddess, or what happens in the final boss of Tears of the Kingdom
Play Plants vs Zombies
Black Myth Wukong's final boss was so bad for this, 4 healthbars with no reason for them to come back other than "ok he's mad now so it's harder"
It just means friede has way too much effective health.
Health bars are honestly not needed
It's not a healthbar atp its just a progress bar
God, ngl I do not care for black myth
If you have a well designed game it should be clear if the enemy has a lot or a little health and ofc playing makes you understand it
It was great for some things but a lot of the bosses in the latter half were just sorta tedious
I'm sure it looks cool, I'm sure it plays well, but I don't like how to took the fun hijinks of Journey to the West and made it dark and edgy
Bosses having health bars is somewhat dumb imo too, it's not that hard to implement into the fight the idea that they are getting more desperate or about to die
It depends on the game, it works in hk because the combat system isn't overly complicated so it's easy to track in your head how much damage you're dealing at any point
So....monster hunter then?
I mean they did it with pinoccio lmao
Think of like BotW, it doesn't need health bars, it's well implemented but not necessary
Cuz after getting to MR 100 in icebirne I've still not idea what all those symbols by the monsters icon means
Idk I think healthbars are useful in games that involve getting stronger and stronger equipment, because it can be an indication of the players progress. Also things like the silver enemies take a lot of hits so if players couldn't see the progress they're making towards killing them they might not bother trying as much
yellow is normal, red is angry and purple is moving
I understand why monster hunter doesn't have healthbars though, bc of how many hits they take it would barely even move for each attack and it could confuse the player
BotW does the health bars quite well and tbh it's better off with it, but they don't have to, and if the health bars are a problem because you have a lot of enemies in one space then you did something wrong design wise
It's more of a measurement of progress. Plus in some games where there's a specific gimmick to an enclunter, like saying a enemy doesn't take damage except during a specific attack, or more damage from an element, it's hard to show the player what works and what doesn't without making it an arbitrary number shown on the screen
I don't think there's ever a time there's a ton of enemies in one space in botw/totk, probably because of the switch's limitations
I still do think more often than not health bars are detrimental
Yeah there isn't, that's why it works. If there were any kind of swarm enemies it just would never work
Games should all have healthbars that are toggleable
I definitely understand metroidvanias not having healthbars
Like if I shoot Phineas Mcgee with my glock-fu, and he takes 15 damage cuz he's resistant to bullets, how can I communicate that without annoying "15 damage 15 damage" or "resistant resistant" popping up on the screens ruining the whole point of not having HL bars?
Horizon Forbidden West does this, except on the highest difficulty it's always off
BOTW does have healthbars and thats important information idk why thats the example chosen
You can have an effect that basically says it. Like, the bullets hit and it does a different sound and doesn't spew blood or smth like that
It's a very non specific example so I can't give a specific awnser but it can work
Yes but not everyone will be able to notice that, they might be trying to avoid Mcgees hammer of justice attack and be too busy to see that their not dealing alotta damage
You can also do NPCs that talk about it, lore reasons that you determine from the design, etc
Also again, for enemeis with weak points and places you need to hit to deal damage, it's easier to just make a HP bar
Healthbars are useful in games where enemies take a lot of player attacks to take down, or games where the players damage may vary a lot depending on their character level/equipment. They're not needed in games where the player's attack type/damage varies very little, or games where enemies don't take many attacks to go down
I mean i think it's a case by case scenario
Damage numbers also accomplish the same thing
Take dead space for example
Weak points should be obvious, it's like when you see a cyclops you know where to aim, and it should be obvious that hitting that spot hurts more than the rest
Even with health bars it should be like this
The "Health bars" in that game come from either "Enemeis stop moving" or "The glowy bits expode, and then it stops moving"
are we talking about health bars in monster hunter
just in general
But that's cuz it's an atmospheric game, with an immersive HUD, that knows that random ass bars would just get in the way
The zelda movie is real
Going back to BotW, when you hit a critical spot it's clearly different than hitting another, when an element arrow does nothing its obvious etc, you don't need health bars to convey that
You wouldn't put diagetic UI in say, Tears of the Kingdom or Doom eternal
Why are we choosing a game that has health bars as an example though
Cuz those games require you to have as much info about your situation as possible so you can make the right choice
Are we talking about whether hk should have health bars?
To explain why you don't need them
BotW works with or without health bars imo
Iām so glad mario doesnāt have healthbars
But it does choose to have them because its important information
I think the usefulness and need for a health bar varies from game to game and itās not really possible to just call them good or bad
But yeah, it depends game to game. I don't think a sweeping statement of "Games shouldn't have HP bars" is good. If only cuz if we didn't need HP bars, devs wouldn't put them in
Fair enough
Its just more information unless its like completely unnecessary I can't really think of a reason why it would be detrimental to a game
HP bars WORK, they've worked for about 20 years now and they'll keep working
I think they should be avoided
why
Could devolpers do intricate animations and sound effects that tell you how much HP every single enemy and Boss has? Certainly, Monster hunter stands as an example of that. But is it necessary?
I think it depends on the game, something like Minecraft doesnāt need health bars, and a strategic combat game shouldnāt have them, but if itās just a fighting game without much strategy, thatās where health bars shine
why is it bad for strategic combat
Yeah what ??
wouldnt it be really really good for strategic combat
Yeah wouldn't yoj want to know how much HP your stuff has left? So yoj know whether it's one hit or one hundred hits away from dying?
know how much HP your enemy has so you can.. strategize
Is this ragebait
fighting games have strategic combat what
wdym just a fighting game
Also yeah fighting games are all about reading you opponent snd doing strategic attacks
every person is calm
they're not talking about the genre of fighting game
It was a hot take
people disagreeing with you does not mean theyāre angry
I'm absolutely pissed at all of you
okay chihuahua
I mean I'm sitting here eating a taco, and drinking no name brand Root beer. I'm as calm as can be
Health bars kinda ruin immersion and stifle a bunch of cool stuff you could do (game design wise). Mostly for games that do care about that tho, other games exist
those games would need to be fundamentally different in certain ways for no health bars to work. like in the final boss of TOTK one of the big "oh fuck" moments is literally the health bar healing past its normal limit BECAUSE that's information that's necessary to the game's combat
idk
most of the cool game design stuff is literally just doing health bars but with more work
in previous legend of zelda games bosses were all based around knocking down weak points typically, but botw and totk aren't really built like that
idk about that, it's true that they use it for an 'oh fuck' moment that's cool but it's not like the combat really revolves around knowing how much health the enemy has
bosses HAVE weak points but that's not their whole gimmick
Good UI usually doesn't ruin immersion for me
arenāt we all
You had a point but your examples sucked
Eeehhhhhhh I halfway agree, but to go back to dead space, that game HAS a HP bar. It's just part of your suit
there's a place for health bars but it's not necessary for all games and sometimes it takes me out of the gameplay a bit if I'm just looking at the enemy's health bar waiting for it to go down
Also wasn't there some ps2 Dinosaur game where your HP bar was a tattoo of a heart on your charecters breasts, so you had to look down to check your HP?
like I donāt think health bars do anything wrong or take you out of the game world itās yknow a game I expect video game things in it
what
Donāt
Please spare us and donāt
tbf thats a player health bar, not an enemy health bar
amnesia: the bunker has a fun little immersive health bar thing where if you hold down the inventory button you bring your hand up and the amount of fingers that have blood on them is the amount of damage you've taken towards death
Tresspasser that's what it called
Also random thing, is swearing allowed or is it considered nsfw
if you donāt use them in nsfw ways itās fine
Alright, thnx
I think we will all act like FUTURE... FUTURE... once Silk releases
or idk crash out on someone and call them a fucking imbecile that is nothing but scum betwixt your heel or whatever
sonia??
the enemys do not have health bars, the limited weapon variety, low enemy HP and dismemberment functionality make it not necessary, its also scarier when you dont know how tough things are
I actually bet money on April 2, so I really hope it comes out
Health bars for bosses is a bit of a different talk, like the divine beasts taking health from the final both is quite well done with the health bar but on other occasions I don't feel like it needs it
I'm not posting videos cuz.... the HP bar.... larger and more explicit then j remembered, but it is real. The silksong-Psycosis has not taken me yet
Nothing to crazy, just like $10
Regular enemies and bossesā health bars are pretty different Iād say yeah
That's a good health bar lol
But yeah, diagetic UI is a thing, and it's none invasive and immersive
isnāt it diegetic
Itās diabetic
yeah
Why can I see him if heās invincible
Diacritic
nostalgia critic
I was talking about big red bars on the heads of enemies tbf
Couldn't fucking tell ya, I didn't do well in high school
Silk will drop on next earth update where our organs to digest food are removed, giving us roughly 30 days to play, complete, and speedrun Silksong.
Why can I see him if heās [TITLE CARD]
I feel like we'd die way before then
Man why are they making an Until Dawn movie, it looks so bad. And the only reprised role is the psychiatrist 
What is it, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food?
By digesting our own muscles for nutrition, we might be able to make it
did you see the zelda movie
the resident evil remakes do a good job of having no enemy health bars, but that's a very different genre from what we've mostly been talking about
Wait itās out
no
But all our digestion stuff is gone
Also fat would go first
I mean like taking the nutrients, and fat wouldnāt last long if you werenāt caseoh
Is that the dude who looks like a thumb?
OKAY
I....am Link.
Closer to 5 days or a week for water but yeah
Water is most important
you know they rerecorded that line for the minecraft movie
what yall know bout the spy kids
If no silk song this year
April 2nd for sure
As a child, I yearned for Hyrule (I forgor the lore)
Spy kids is the original cringe
Horror Games also often use no enemy HP bars specifically to increase the tension
I've seen the first 3 movies like 25 times as a kid
someone watched today's burback video
I'm burning down an or...
Btw, who originally made dyno react with
everytime april 2nd is mentioned
So dumb
WHAT
One of the admins
didnt leth say they didnt know about the switch 2 announcement here during the whole cake debacle
2nd april
who tf is burback
2nd of April
Isn't that a type of root vegetable?
April 2nd
If not second April, Iāll sell my left kidney
I'm 
April of 2nd
APRlL 2nd
so second of April, April 2nd works
why would it be april 2nd leth said they didnt know about the switch 2 announcement
ban dyno for spam reacting messages
How about when team cherry rickrolled ppl
Have you been following Dsn
Smh
Ban everyone except dyno
April2
yes?
APRIL 2ND FOR SURE ššš
April 2
The updates have been crazy itās coming soon
Yes
why did Dyno react this message with Overwhelmed?
what? the steam update and xbox mention?
oh wait nvm Dyno didn't do that
Everyone saying April is either being stupid on purpose or is misinformed
Code it to aleays spam april 2nd so it forever has to react to its ownself with
holy shit is that an artwork idea
but Dyno DOES suck because it's dumb
And GeForce now, and when gd got steam updates 2.2 came out a week later
ok? how does that affect the fact that leth said they didnt know about switch 2
The odds are still decent leth or not
The bots can't even do their jobs any more
there are no odds tho TC themselves said that they didnt know
AŃril 2nd
Steam updates have consistently meant nothing
When did tc tell us anything past the cake
it might release soon but nothing will be on april 2nd
That has nothing to do with anything?
you will not break our faith
fuck kinda question is that
Keep telling yourself that buddy
When did team cherry tell us itās not coming out on April 2
The VA incident shortly after the cake incident Leth had to "adress"
By what I mean adress, he basically just said to use common sense and refused to elaborate further
true
can't argue with logic
Common sense is that itās coming out
yeah, well maybe it is stupid
but itās also dumb
š¤
they said they didnt know about the switch 2 announcement and implied it wouldnt be there in the AMA
Look at the signs
2 april
Common sense coming out april 2nd for sure
Wait they did an ama
yes leth here in january
Dammit
That's not what an AMA is

Y'all really need to stop misusing words damn
well im stupid asl
Silksong will NOT be releasing April S*cond you goobers
Today?
Why did you censor second
Leth did not come into chat and answer any questions people propose to him it was not an ask me anything, he came in and debunked the stupid ass theory and told you to use your brain
No today is Rain World, tomorrow is Deltarune
wait what?
Yep, this

What do you mean what, I'm not calling the Cake Day bullshit for no reason?
I hate the clown emoji
apparently TC doesn't have to come online and say something like "yes we still making the game" either
They did that last year donāt be greedy
they do that very often tho
they did it multiple times on january
"development is going nicely, the game is real and will release"
Doubter have to keep on winning, and beleivers only have to win once
Thereās no lie in beleiver
well said brother
Believers won in 2022 and look where that got them
how old are you
Does it matter
yes cause you talk like you're 11
Hell you mean
Pessimism is better for silksong
idk why non-believers are so hatefull
we having fun here
stop having fun
then non-believers come and call us stupid and 11 year old
you are stupid
Look petty insults about each others age arenāt helpful for anyone
Weāre all in this together
Skong is for everyone
you're right we should insult your character instead
"You are stupid, we are actually 10 year olds"
i didnt insult your age i insulted the way you word things
i asked your age
When combined*
Hating is free
excuses
Sharpe is 100% a bug would depict Hornet as a Soyjack during their 2nd refight
non-believers trying not to be mean channelge impossible
Anyway maybe don't ask people their ages online thats weird
Well first, Iām not 11, second, what do you mean, if I made some mistake I want to know
Have you tried believing realistic things
?av @spice imp
Wait guys I donāt like Stalin
letās talk about slay the princess
The pfp is and inside joke for elsewhere
sure
playing persona sucks because the music is good enough that i don't want to turn it off but not good enough that it isn't getting old so i have to mute the game entirely to listen to my own music
literally unplayable
Peak
music is mid asf
I'm not that into deckbuilders sorry
Is it true that silksong news will come in june
Not slay the spire slay the princess
Is that the princess
From slay the
Slay the princess is a weird meta story horror game
Nah April 2 for sure
And itās kinda awesome
I wish
Ooh no slow mode
There is absolutely nothing confirmed about what TC plans for the future, everybody just makes shit up and tries to make other people believe it
I work for TC
I like to believe itāll be this year but we got no proof
Ari told that one guy soon so I believe him
No need to rain on others parade, if you donāt believe, keep it to yourself
powdered what do you think about this pfp
Why
It says silksong release date on the ceiling
if you believe keep it to yourself
What's wrong with pointing out lies?
If you're uncomfortable with people disagreeing with your own ideas maybe don't share them on Discord
Just donāt go calling people stupid or uninformed for believing a game is coming out
some even say, april second is the date...
I'm not saying it's impossible, buut... it MIGHT happen
Nowhere near as cool as mine?
well the idea is stupid and uninformed, what is wrong with calling that out
It's coming out on April 1 cuz silksong was all just a joke
No thatās ||the Damsel||
The game eventually will come out, if you think you know when then you are uninformed and being willfully ignorant
The idea of the game coming out this year isnāt stupid or uninformed the problem is people claiming itās guaranteed or that we have news
SILKSONG APRIL 10TH WOOOO
I donāt know when, the evidence says probably then
There is no evidence
to get comfortable you need to share your ideas
All of the things that you call evidence are made up by random people that don't know anything
Steam updates, GeForce now
thars what im saying, + the corniest jokes spawn out of that
also this is just an excuse for those who want to shit on your ideas
This time the copyright changed that hasnāt happened since 2019
Yeah sometimes
Not auto matic steam updates. Tc got on and changed these themselves
That really doesn't matter
Why not
Automatic and manual steam updates have been happening for years that's not a change
No its not, its just people disagreeing with you it isn't a personal attack or whatever
Can't tell you actually 
Source?
It came to me in a dream
Whatever helps you sleep at night
the only actual interesting thing that has happened is the library-header addition
people are MAD on reddit, is it always like this after events?
Yeah
I mean the "personal attack" stuff
You should have seen this place last night lmao
I mean I'm telling you the facts I don't know what else you want from me
it has gradually gotten more hostile over the years
server isn't much better
Or after any event
r/Silksong has been a crazy lunatic echochamber full of misinformation for like 2 years now
Letās just stop fighting
its fun tho
Ngl I kinda don't want silksong to come out yet, I need more time to beat p5
I was never fighting I was just telling you what was right lol
Thatās like a major thing I donāt like about this discord yall shit talk Redditors so much Iām barely a part of either community
we should all make up and watch family guy in the afk vc
Just because I'm correcting you doesn't mean I'm heated or arguing
But yall are the exact same
it cant be that hard whats your build
Okay
it's not just some random people, like most of the posts are even upvoted
"Both sides are bad"
lol
P5 is pretty hard lol
"ur delusional"
the discord shit talks the reddit, the reddit shit talks the discord
ā¦yes
The silksong community is not a good place rn
Somebody found the original pilot recently
At first it was quick slash strength shaman stone steady body and nmg, now it's quick slash strength mark of pride and heart
not really, only really absrad and pv were difficult
two party system
Dude I saw that
Okay?
6000 chicken fajitas
ok yeah thats a fantastic build just keep practicing
That doesn't mean I can't insult the reddit for being a cesspool
this server is a cesspool too tho
Yeah thatās totally fair and Iām just gonna point out how reddit and discord are different coloured mud
This Discord is significantly better because moderators actively delete or correct misinformation
Yall still mud
tbh william's tweets are not helping, dude comes out with the most non-sense shit possible lol
I mean perhaps, but people spring into arguments super often here
Thatās on the fans that account has been pure shitpost for years
well misinformation is fun and in terms of toxicity its the same here
Because people frequently post misinformation
How dare we tell you that you're wrong when you're spreading misinformation!
⦠so itās the same as the reddit
to my perception it's more misunderstandings than that
No the Reddit mods encourage it and they are part of the problem, on the shitty right anyway, not the official one
thats what makes it fun
It gets corrected because 4 different people call the person a dipshit and then they leave
What a healthy community
sure that happens too, but here I've seen it happen often where someone says something, gets misunderstood for an extremer thing, and an argument ensues
the chaos is the only entertaining part of the community atp until we get more to talk about
but why does he do that like, does he have a full pdf with random cryptic brain rot tweets
Maybe until I saw unmarked NSFW allowed there
Funny
if mods promise not to snitch Iāll stream family guy episodes in vc right now
not doing much and I think we need it as a community
fair but thats rulebreaking not just chaotic
I donāt have twitter or reddit and I made this discord account for silksong so idk
Pot calling the kettle black
That's the issue the moderators don't bother making it an actually good community
Yes thatās exactly what Iāve been saying itās all the same shit
that show sucks ass bra play something better
So far the only one insulting people is you
golden age family guy is peak, you tweaking
If you see someone breaking the rules maybe instead of going "Um actually both sides are awful" ping the moderators so they can delete it
hell nahhh
"how dare people point out inconsistencies and lies and misinformation and call us wrong for believing in it! Those guys are such assholes!!!"
I feel like every single person who has ever used discord has a god complex
Me included Iām awesome
what country are you from?
I'M THE GODDEST OF THEM ALL
There was a sweet spot in early family Guy that was kind of decent but it just turned into absolutely nothing but edgy jokes really fast
Way to ignore the argument and just insult people
