perhaps dreams aren't so bad afterall...

[quiet minnow]

Okay thanks

[sinful flare]

i guess they do remain alive so maybe

but what if the knight doesnt kill absrad

[strange gulch]

museum is running from Sept 18th to Feb 6th. Is it possible like the demo or something isn't ready for it by Sept 18th?

[shell yacht]

If the radiance doesn't die the entire region will stay zombies because she will eventually return

[shell yacht]

I don't quite understand what you're saying but if it's the old demo I don't see why there would be an issue

[compact night]

Hollow knight fans are the only fans to look you dead in the face and say “hey maybe getting infected by the sun isn’t so bad”

[quiet minnow]

I assume it'll be like following:
Demo thing will be released September 18th - February 6th, it'll release in the middle, maybe october/November

[strange gulch]

will the demo be available by the first day of acmi or is it possible it's released sometime after?

[shell yacht]

I have no idea about their schedule

[azure verge]

18 September 2025. Thousands of sweaty nerds in hollow knight merchandise pull up to the Game Worlds opening day. John Gameworlds comes out and announces the event has sadly been cancelled. as the Demo Computers were all viciously destroyed by an intruder. The only trace of the mystery man left was a paper with "u/E1331" written on it in goat's blood

[viscid wind]

Is silksong news yet

[quiet minnow]

Peak writing

[compact night]

This makes me wonder if I’m able to post something I wrote a long time ago but I was nervous to post it here

It’s an extremely short hollow knight horror story

[azure verge]

Fire away.

[uneven carbon]

its…. old news….

[compact night]

Okay let me find it

*In the deepest pit beneath Hallownest, a Knight with no face found a mirror.

It didn't reflect the Knight only writhing limbs of long-dead bugs, mouthing silent screams.

Every night, the mirror whispered louder. Every day, the Knight forgot more of itself.

One dawn, the Knight shattered the mirror.

There was no glass only a hollow mask staring back. And it blinked.*

[uneven carbon]

2sentencehorror

yeah I hate it never write again and to be honest I kinda hate you now

[viscid wind]

was the thing staring back......
the creature

[sinful flare]

2015 horror

[uneven carbon]

we need to battle to the death

[oblique musk]

Larry.

[uneven carbon]

pick a weapon

[azure verge]

was the mirror u/E1331

[compact night]

Also the thing in the mirror was Nosk btw

That’s why it blinked

[uneven carbon]

I dont think that makes sense

we need to battle to the death btw

[compact night]

No

[uneven carbon]

pick your steed

we will fight at sunrise

potions are allowed

[reef scarab]

tomorrow?

[compact night]

This is all you need to know

[uneven carbon]

yes

[uneven carbon]

what is that odd mechanism that little boy is holding

must be from those crafty turks

[ripe timber]

will fight at sunrise?
what if the sun came to you instead

[uneven carbon]

blasphemy

[sinful flare]

@ivory sluice we should fight irl at some time

Silksong 2025

[fresh zodiac]

PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT ME :D

[lethal garden]

What do we think of these location estimates?

[fresh zodiac]

kinda makes sense

but id expect moss grotto to be somewhere on the far right

[uneven carbon]

all wrong

[sinful flare]

thats an awesome artwork! reminds me of Dont Starve Together in certain ways

not Dont Starve because the ocean doesnt exist in that version

[primal linden]

That’s an absolutely stunning piece of artwork! The way you've reimagined Hornet from Silksong as a pirate is both creative and captivating—it’s such a unique twist on the character. The gritty, slightly whimsical art style you used really reminds me of Don't Starve Together in a lot of ways, especially with the exaggerated proportions, moody atmosphere, and detailed textures. There’s a similar eerie charm and stylized darkness that gives the piece so much personality. It’s the kind of crossover concept I never knew I needed until now!

[midnight trout]

Mossy grotto feels to me like it would end on the left of it so I would think it would be on the right of the map

[compact echo]

When will hornet have 8 limbs

[lunar terrace]

Yo just got this email this morning!!

Full email copy

One of the most anticipated indie games on the planet is coming to Game Worlds. We're thrilled to announce that Hollow Knight: Silksong, the next chapter from South Australian developers Team Cherry, will be playable at ACMI when the exhibition opens this September.

"From the hundreds of sprites that animate Hornet’s different movements and attacks, to the logic behind the game’s most challenging boss fights," curators Bethan Johnson and Jini Maxwell say, "our Silksong displays delve deeply into the details of the game’s artistic direction and design."

As a highlight of the exhibition, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be showcased through stunning visuals, design insights, and exclusive hands-on gameplay. We’re so grateful to Team Cherry for trusting us with their work, and so excited to share that work with you!

Game Worlds opens 18 September 2025 until 8 February 2026.

[polar stag]

Do we know if it's just an incomplete demo at ACMI or will it be the complete version of the game?

[atomic sparrow]

no idea

[viscid wind]

"exclusive hands-on gameplay" yeah i think it's not going to be just full game if it's exclusive gameplay

[polar stag]

The mention of "...the logic behind the game's most challenging boss fights" implies to me the game will be complete by that point and will be out before September

[opaque sigil]

It would be a garbage exhibit if it just had the full game that would be a totally incoherent choice

[opaque sigil]

It really doesn’t

They’ve had boss fights made for years

[ivory sluice]

you're lioe 5 foot i would hold my hand in front of me and grab your head, you couldnt reach me

[polar stag]

Like why would they show off and talk about some of the most important fights before the game is released?

[opaque sigil]

Because it’s a museum exhibit about the game

[lunar terrace]

It simultaneously says "the next chapter ... will be playable" and "exclusive hands-on gameplay" which seem contradictory

[sinful flare]

being short has an advantage

i will steal your kneecaps before you realize

[ivory sluice]

not in a fight

i can just punt you like a dog

[sinful flare]

uh huh

[polar stag]

I still think it's most likely that the game is out before ACMI

[fresh zodiac]

fun fact, I also have a don't starve piece

[viscid wind]

holy shit show

[sinful flare]

oo show

[fresh zodiac]

it's on my PC, maybe I'll show it later

or wait I just look up the reddit post

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/s/abYFhi5cZX

there it is, 3 years old damn

[lament pecan]

Wanted to bring this to attention

Playable first

Rip

[fresh zodiac]

they've been working on zoteboat the entire time

[viscid wind]

Very powerful, very beautiful

[sage glade]

one of the artists of all time

too much dedication to the silk

[lament pecan]

If this is the case its stupid

[viscid wind]

do tallbird legs have that much punch

[fresh zodiac]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/s/RKCU3aizRS

I like this one a lot

[viscid wind]

that's a lot of weeks

[polar stag]

What other Australian indie game could they be referring to? I'm not familiar with where most developers are located

[fresh zodiac]

(ignore the like months between November and April that I just didn't do

[viscid wind]

Big walk / untitled goose game

[lament lotus]

i hope shining citadel will have th same feeling of seeing leyndell for the first time in elden ring

[lament pecan]

Idk what the game is but im trying to bring attention to the words “playable first”

[fresh zodiac]

I'm on week 160, but it could be even more

[lament pecan]

And i really hope thats not the case

[patent heath]

Imagine if Studio MDHR announces Cuphead 2 this year.

[young saffron]

How would hornet fall down into mossy groto passing the desert

[fresh zodiac]

I'll show off one more

[polar stag]

Oh that game by guy who made getting over it?

[fresh zodiac]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/s/DQJR3R37ss

[viscid wind]

what? No

[fresh zodiac]

that's baby steps

[viscid wind]

Big walk is made by people who made untitled goose game

[lament pecan]

The comunity will be outraged if the game gets released first at ACMI

[polar stag]

Oh right. I'm dumb

[patent heath]

You guys think there will be a Birthplace Cutscene-esque moment in SilkSong? (There better be)

[viscid wind]

Ok but who's Maxwell

[lament pecan]

Cause how much theyve talked about it it will be the full game

[lament pecan]

Acmi director

Or someone like that

[viscid wind]

What

[lament pecan]

How much it seems the full game will be available at ACMI or at least a very big part of it

[viscid wind]

The idea of putting the full game on an exhibit is stupid and weird

[opaque sigil]

You’re just making that up you imagined it completely

No reason to think the full thing will be there it would make zero sense for the full thing to be there

Do you even know what acmi is it’s a museum they aren’t gonna have booths people can play at for dozens of hours

[viscid wind]

like, if everyone gets 15 minutes

[polar stag]

I'm curious if the ACMI director would even know when TC intends to release the game

[lament pecan]

Im pretty sure he doesnt

At least i hope he doesnt

[lunar terrace]

They have had full playable games at the previous iteration of Game Worlds at ACMI

[lament pecan]

Just read this and the article scared me a bit

[lunar terrace]

It's mostly for kids

[viscid wind]

Also first could mean
first-hand
/ˌfəːstˈhand/
adjective
adjective: firsthand
coming from the original source or personal experience; gained or learned directly.
no?

[lunar terrace]

I think it was called Screen Worlds before from memory

[polar stag]

But still "playable first" is a pretty strange thing to say if he doesn't know anything about the release date

[lament pecan]

Im pretty sure team cherry is intelligent enough not to spoil the game at a museum before general release

[mossy sail]

Seems like you dont....there have been full playable games on exhibition of this kind before

[lament pecan]

Im pretty sure you could play the entirety of hollow knight

[opaque sigil]

I know you really don’t understand the difference there

[mossy sail]

Just admit you talking out your ass lmao

[steel terrace]

not dozens of hours but there are games there that you can play

[opaque sigil]

Congratulations you’re about 25% of the way there

[mossy sail]

Of course you aint gonna be let to sit there and finish the whole game, thay wasnt the initial point

[lament pecan]

Yeah but either way its bullshit if the museum happens before general release

[mossy sail]

But it may be the full version of the game that is showcased there, as was the case in the past for other games

[lunar terrace]

Sounds like you guys are talking about life and death

[opaque sigil]

This has never been funny

Not once

[lament pecan]

Not talking about life and death but its bullshit if ACMI gets it first

[viscid wind]

if everyone can only play 15 minutes then like 10% of people would get past moss mother

[reef hull]

Fr

[steel terrace]

👀 whoo wee mama

[viscid wind]

necknet

[opaque sigil]

If people get like 15 minutes in the game that’s basically less than the treehouse who cares

[viscid wind]

it doesnt even look that cursed

[lament pecan]

They already mentioned details of the games most difficult bossfight

So thats not gonna be it

[opaque sigil]

Not… in the playable section

[lament pecan]

Yeah but still i dont want spoilers

[opaque sigil]

You understand that it’s a museum exhibit not just booths to play the game right

[opaque sigil]

Then don’t go

[lament pecan]

Its both

[opaque sigil]

That’s what the word just means good job

[lament pecan]

Spoilers on the internet are unavoidable

[opaque sigil]

They really aren’t

[lament pecan]

When you have algorithms they are

[opaque sigil]

Actually just a skill issue

[twilit zenith]

I hope it's just a misinterpretation by the author of that article, it would really suck if the public release is after the exhibit

[lament pecan]

Thats what im sayin

[viscid wind]

just like, dont open youtube

or social media.

[compact night]

Okay we got “Mr im too good to be spoiled” over here

[sharp agate]

Is this shite real or a troll??

[opaque sigil]

Just don’t use twitter

It’s bullshit

[polar stag]

I think if they're prepared to show and talk about different, broader aspects of the game in detail and show full sprite sheets demonstrating Hornet's abilities and give context to some of these sprites, it's indicative they're not really trying to hide anything about the game anymore.

The art direction part especially because that would mean showing concept art and many different areas and stuff from points all across the game. This isn't gonna be a narrow slice but a broad and extensive look at something already finished.

[compact stream]

I'm over here silking my song I got lotion on my song I'm just silking my song

[opaque sigil]

It doesn’t have to be finished to have all that shit ready for an exhibit

[sharp agate]

Watchu gonna eat for dinner

[compact stream]

bugs

[warped umbra]

its like hearsay between 3 different people i doubt its true

[compact night]

I’d imagine bugs taste absolutely disgusting

Like seriously

[lament pecan]

I also do

[compact stream]

cronchy

[shell stream]

just on the grounds of "the material in the exhibit is probably significant spoilers" I think its reasonable to believe the game will be out before then

[opaque sigil]

Plenty of places have eating bugs as a relative norm

[viscid wind]

i ate a moth once

[warped umbra]

i think its jsut the author misinterpreting it, i woudn't trust it

[compact stream]

This guy knows what's up

[compact night]

You just gonna admit that?

[opaque sigil]

It may or may not

[compact night]

Like for everyone to see?

[viscid wind]

i did it for a dollar

[opaque sigil]

It’s just dumb to make definitive claims either way

[compact stream]

I woulda done it for less

hell, I would've done it for free

[viscid wind]

i lied i did it for 50 cents

[compact stream]

What a hustler

[viscid wind]

i lied i did it for 30 pieces of silver

[compact stream]

Also a hustler

[lament pecan]

Having the most challenging bossfight is already a significant spoiler

[opaque sigil]

That doesn’t matter

[compact night]

Your gonna eat this? For free?

Wow

[lament pecan]

Fym it matters to some people

[opaque sigil]

It’s also not what they said

[compact stream]

What a snacc

[lament pecan]

Most challenging boss fights

Is what they said

[opaque sigil]

You are not reading or following the conversation so you can just stop pinging me with irrelevant nonsense

[compact night]

Uh oh

[shell stream]

I mean, it still does matter

its evidence that points in one direction more than the other, even if it isn't definitive

[viscid wind]

not that kind of moth

didnt they literally say the logic behind the most challenging bossfights

[polar stag]

The Silksong news we got about ACMI earlier in April is honestly my first time hearing of ACMI at all. Is ACMI similar to like what NoClip does with their documentaries on game development with different developers?

[viscid wind]

it doesnt even mean we get to fight the boss,

maybe see the statemachine

[opaque sigil]

It also doesn’t mean being told any of the narrative background

[sage glade]

how about some relevant nonsense, what are your thoughts on decloaked hornet

[shell stream]

extremely funny that that is one of the sprites they included on the sheet

[opaque sigil]

Weirdos being weirdos

[sage glade]

that's the community

[compact night]

I think it’s funny but idk why everyone on twitter is being nasty and freaking out about it I thought everyone knew hornet had nothing under the cloak

[sage glade]

i mean the sprite itself, why is her head 5000x her body lorewise

[opaque sigil]

Because they’re gross

[shell stream]

I just think its funny that its just.... a stick figure

its really cursed looking

[quick swan]

well this is kinda creepy ngl

[viscid wind]

idk why i expected some neck

[sage glade]

i expected some volume or more arms

[polar stag]

What if Hornet's weaver heritage allows her to crawl on walls like a spider and that's essentially our new version of mantis claw? Instead of wall jumping you actually crawl up the wall?

[reef hull]

Stands for:
Hollow
Mknight
Tsilksong
Gtomorrow
For sure

[opaque sigil]

She doesn’t have weaver heritage and we’ve seen the wall jump behavior it works like HK

The only related change is mantle

[shell stream]

she's related to the spider tribe

[polar stag]

Wdym she's not related to the weavers? Herrah the Beast is her mother right?

[lunar terrace]

Yeah kinda, but funded by the government, and it's more of an exhibit than documentaries

[shell stream]

idr how the weavers relate to herrah

[viscid wind]

is herrah the beast a weaver

[opaque sigil]

Herrah isn’t a weaver

[viscid wind]

is pale king a weaver

[compact night]

Hornet is void

[opaque sigil]

The weavers are a foreign tribe of spiders that joined up with deepnest when they got to Hallownest

[oblique musk]

Woah now hold on you might be on to something here

[opaque sigil]

Herrah is a native

[compact night]

Jesus Christ I hate my grammar

[vivid valve]

There's a shrine to Hornet in the weavers den

[shell stream]

yeah she led the weavers

but idk if that makes herrah a weaver per se

[oblique musk]

Doesn’t necessarily mean she’s one of them genetically.

[polar stag]

Someone said that Hornet produces silk herself like a spider/weaver in a conversation on here a while back. Is that true?

[opaque sigil]

Hornet may have been raised and trained by weavers but she isn’t one biologically

[opaque sigil]

All squares are rectangles not all rectangles are squares

All weavers are spiders not all spiders are weavers

[polar stag]

I don't really know the lore. I thought weavers are just what spiders are called in the HK universe

[oblique musk]

Nope. Weavers are a specific sub-tribe (sub-species?) of spiders characterized by round heads and red cloaks.

[vivid valve]

Source? Legit curious

[opaque sigil]

Have you played the game

[oblique musk]

We know the weavers to be their own group, and all the weavers we see in game fit that description.

[polar stag]

Same. I don't remember seeing any other characters in a red cloak in HK. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention but I 112'd the game

[shell stream]

yeah weavers explicitly come from outside of hallownest

and herrah... doesn't? I don't know if that's actually explicit anywhere

[oblique musk]

The humble wrong reply:

[polar stag]

Yeah lol

[oblique musk]

She’s never explicitly confirmed to be a Deepnest native iirc, but that’s the type of thing you assume unless proven otherwise

[opaque sigil]

This is a weaver. Everything called a weaver shares this appearance, and nothing with this appearance isn’t associated with the term

This is not a weaver, it looks nothing like them, is never called a weaver, etc

[median fractal]

Whackass head with 6 eyes? Check
Red dress? Check
A billion and 5 legs? Check

Conclusion: I silked my song

[atomic sparrow]

why weavers so round and big head ??

[median fractal]

Its just the mask that looks similar to the weaver face but that might be a TC design choice to show the relationship

[median fractal]

Too much silk consumption

[opaque sigil]

It doesn’t though it lacks every distinctive feature of a weaver head

[oblique musk]

I mean, it’s more likely that they all have 6 eyes because they are spiders.

[polar stag]

So would it be accurate to say Hornet does have spider heritage but not specifically weaver?

[opaque sigil]

Weaver heads are round and have that seam in the middle those are the distinctive features

[median fractal]

I mean fair I guess

Cant imagine Herrah crawling doe holy shit

[lament lotus]

i feel like they make yoga ball noises when they walk

[oblique musk]

What noises do yoga balls make? That doesn’t really seem like a particularly recognizable sound.

[tawny cairn]

"yoga yoga" like pokemon rules

[median fractal]

I honestly dont know what defines a weaver exactly but I think Hornet isnt one. But she's taken to Pharloom for a reason so I guess well find out

[shell stream]

dhalsim

[polar stag]

Also, curious. Where does the info that Hornet produces her own silk come from?

[tawny cairn]

??

[median fractal]

I mean its likely

[tawny cairn]

she's a spider

[median fractal]

She will use lots of fucking silk in Silksong

Well hornet doesnt exactly match the spider description no?

[polar stag]

Someone told me that before like it was something that's confirmed and wanna know if there's direct confirmation somewhere

[tawny cairn]

i mean

spider

[oblique musk]

If it’s confirmed, I can’t find the source with a 30 second google.

[median fractal]

Hollow Knight complicates shit by making characters just pure black on the inside

how the fuck do you tell void and not void apart 😭

[brittle arch]

cuz they are void

[void wagon]

That's calld "Void"

[tawny cairn]

easy

[median fractal]

...is every character made of void bro what

[oblique musk]

Flip a coin.

[void wagon]

no

[brittle arch]

Hornet be looking like that and she's not void ?

[void wagon]

ig

[median fractal]

Yeah so what the fuck is the point

[tawny cairn]

you are made of void

[lament lotus]

huh?

[median fractal]

I am

[brittle arch]

I'm not black

[median fractal]

I am dead inside

[void wagon]

tbh black is my fav color

[lament lotus]

these things man

[void wagon]

??

[oblique musk]

Yeah, I know what they are, I just don’t associate a particular sound with them.

[brittle arch]

I'll really like to have some black outfit if Mosquitoes are not a problem

[void wagon]

mosquitoes aint a problem in where i live

[brittle arch]

they're everywhere and they love black

thanks god i'm not black

[void wagon]

i mean like their very low

me too

[mortal bluff]

I genuinely love that winged Nosk exists because now we have a Nosk for silksong without having to have a Nosk in Silksong.

[glossy berry]

as long as it means i dont need to fight it in that game too 🙏

[polar stag]

I'm glad everyone in this server seems to at least agree Hornet is not void considering the game pretty much says this

[lament lotus]

i really hope if we do have a nosk in silksong hes not a half cooked boss

[glossy berry]

if you call hornet void round here you tend to get made fun of

[glossy berry]

the fact that nosk literally only had 1 attack before hidden dreams/was even more undercooked is horrifying

as long as ss fights dont look anything like that im fine

[polar stag]

It would be so fucking funny if TC decided to stir shit up by revealing in Silksong that Hornet is void even if it doesn't make sense

The community would riot

[lament lotus]

never forget

[heavy magnet]

I will have known it all along~!

[median fractal]

I dont expect this to happen but just note the new "naked Hornet" sprite where she doesnt fucking resemble a spider in any way shape or form

[compact night]

Dude how is everyone ignoring this look at em go

[median fractal]

Shes a fucking black creature with a white head and pointy horns

...wow I wonder what sounds like

[median fractal]

So real

[compact night]

Well there is a sprite where she’s in a crawling position she looks more like a spider than

[polar stag]

Pale King's got strong genes

[frozen frigate]

sounds like elderbug if elderbug was a black creature with a white head and pointy horns i won't lie

[median fractal]

I mustve missed that one

[shell salmon]

even Grubfather is ignoring him

[median fractal]

But in that case where the fuck are the hands going man

[shell salmon]

[shell salmon]

is okay daddy

[polar stag]

I love the sticker. I just didn't think to reply to it

[shell salmon]

i know u got too many kids to take care of

[compact night]

This is it btw

[polar stag]

This is like the 100th time I've seen this but it still makes me uncomfortable to see Hornet crawl like that. Have you seen the animated one?

[viscid wind]

grimm ahh

[compact night]

Yes

[polar stag]

For those who haven't seen it animated

[viscid wind]

why does she do that .

maybe some backstep thing?

[polar stag]

I don't think its officially animated tho. I think someone on Reddit made it.

[median fractal]

I guarantee you she either crawls through a tunnel here or its something similar to Shape of Unn

[viscid wind]

i think she's crawling backwards

[compact night]

It makes perfect sense for her to do this given ya know

She’s a descendent from her mother, who was a spider

[polar stag]

Ik but it's still creepy

[compact night]

Oh definitely

[viscid wind]

also like, we 've already seen in in the reveal trialer

[frozen frigate]

i think i might actually go insane trying to do this stealth challenge

[compact night]

Imagine that crawling towards you at full speed

[polar stag]

I was thinking something similar. Maybe used to crawl through small spaces

[fresh zodiac]

this corner will appear as a best man on my wedding

[viscid wind]

we've literally seen it before and she's crawling backwards

[median fractal]

I am just curious where the fuck the hands come from bro why are they not present in most sprites

I can see them being under the cloak

[lament lotus]

TRUE

[median fractal]

But like, the naked Hornet sprite or ones where the cloak is up

[polar stag]

Which trailer was this?

[viscid wind]

reveal trailer

like 38-39 seconds

[compact night]

She’s crawling on all fours

I wonder if Nosk is gonna appear in silk song

[median fractal]

Kson

His son...

[viscid wind]

it can be DEAD

it not showing up at all makes sense

[median fractal]

It just shapeshifted to dead nosk but in reality he's still alive

[polar stag]

Seems like it might be used to move quickly away from attacks or something. Like some form of dodge or evasion move

[viscid wind]

backstep

[median fractal]

Gonna be so fun going into a boss once, dying, sitting at the bench for the next 10 minutes figuring out what the fuck you should use in this boss

[polar stag]

Maybe it can be used in other ways or move forward as well

[median fractal]

I really hope Silksong doesnt have any enemies similar to Primal Aspids or any bosses too far from benches (hive knight looking at you)

Any of those and I jump off a pharloom

[frozen frigate]

i think everyone who took part in the creation of this mastery challenge specifically should be put in a hunger games type situation

sometimes the guards just so happen to spot other dead guards and other times i have to fuck around swimming over to different bushes to call them over and other time they spot me when i'm directly above them

[viscid wind]

assasin's slop

[stuck stratus]

so what's happening with silksong? 🙂 I heard about the sprite sheet

[sour dagger]

confirmed release before september 18

[stuck stratus]

OH

I thought that we kinda knew that though

[sour dagger]

yea, but now its 100% confimed

[trim estuary]

No it isn’t

It’s just lightly implied

[stuck stratus]

oh

[sour dagger]

how is it only lightly implied

they legit said its gonna be there

[trim estuary]

Yeah, a playable version will be there. Could be the E3 demo from 2019

[sour dagger]

why would they have a 6 year old demo at a museum?

[trim estuary]

Doesn’t matter either way because SILKSONG JUNE 12TH WOOOOO

[trim estuary]

It’s a museum… about video game development…

[viscid wind]

what

[sour dagger]

kinda weird to show a demo for an unreleased game tho

[viscid wind]

like, nothing is ever confirmed until team cherry themselves does so

[stuck stratus]

I hope its by June 3, but that would be cool

[sour dagger]

true, kinda what happened with xbox

[viscid wind]

and even then it's not 100% guaranteed

[trim estuary]

Schrodinger’s Silksong News

[lament coyote]

Wait, is this not fake?

[median fractal]

No its real info

[lament coyote]

Straight up saying "playable in september" is pretty, uh, confident.

[lament pecan]

Btw guys ACMI mentions exclusive hands on gameplay which just scared my friend

Does that mean no silksong until afrer ACMI

[mortal grove]

question has anyone turned the hornet sprites into a gif yet

[lament pecan]

You got loads on the subreddit

[lament lotus]

hi

[mortal grove]

oh sorry im not subscribed to the subreddit thank you I'll check it out

[median fractal]

No there is no logical explanation for such a massive game to release in a fucking museum before it is accessible in our steam libraries

[lament coyote]

No

[mortal grove]

clearly silksong will be at evo france

[lament coyote]

Acmi ends in february

[median fractal]

All of them equally

[limber oak]

It better be in Australia first

[lament pecan]

What better be

[lament coyote]

Silksong deadline is 2025

[lament pecan]

I mean after start of ACMI

[limber oak]

first silksong taste

[fresh zodiac]

i mean we knew that for a while

[limber oak]

Yippie

[median fractal]

People would actually run to that museum to play the game like crazy

[lament pecan]

Yeah

[lament coyote]

Fuck you mean first for australian

[lament pecan]

And its bullshit if TC decides to make it exclusive for australia for a bit

[median fractal]

Yeah

[idle scaffold]

It depends on what is in the build

[lament pecan]

Weve been waiting six years just for a museum to spoil the game for us

[median fractal]

Yeah well if its a demo then fair

[brittle arch]

there's no proof Hornet is not void literally

[median fractal]

But please no... that would be fucking disappointing

[brittle arch]

do you guys see Hornet get conceive or anything ?

[median fractal]

And also yeah people would still fucking run to that museum to try it

[limber oak]

They have an exhibit on hollow knight at Acmi which I'm pretty sure is the fully game

[brittle arch]

no idea why people piss off because Hornet is not this or that

[mortal grove]

this one is adorable

[heavy magnet]

hornet is actually made of chocolate - strange but true

[idle scaffold]

Well was her egg in the Abyss? That is the main question cuz even the vessels weren't void when initially made. They became void cuz their eggs were in the Abyss before hatching. At least that's what it looks like to me

[stuck stratus]

you realize Hornet's icon without her cape is pure black, right? so it could (in theory) be void

[lament pecan]

Yeah conclusion if the game releases after the museum we riot

[idle scaffold]

That could be a trait of the children of PK

[brittle arch]

she have gender so she might not 100% void

[stuck stratus]

plot twist: the pale king (himself) is filled with void

[idle scaffold]

Or the model is generally too small to warrant adding the extra details

[lament coyote]

I will fill you with void if you don't stop

[brittle arch]

also if there is her egg there, how do you know ? there's like 1000 eggs

[brittle arch]

ikr

[stuck stratus]

lol

[polar stag]

Paraphrasing a bit but Hornet literally says hers and the Knight's strength comes from a similar source(the Pale King) but she does not share that crucial emptiness(void). Emptiness is used to refer to void multiple times in the game I'm pretty sure

[stuck stratus]

of course

I'm just joking

[heavy magnet]

the void is actually made of hornet

[brittle arch]

i like how the whole belief is based on this one sentence

[naive path]

I mean it's a pretty clear sentence given

[lament coyote]

Having a full ass game on acmi before it comes out on steam would indeed be pretty sad

[brittle arch]

the real answer is no one know for sure

[naive path]

Unless you believe the "emptiness" to refer to something else or like, hornet is stupid, idk how else you can interpret it

[brittle garnet]

No, we know for sure

[viscid wind]

what if hornet is made of pale

[lament coyote]

If it's a demo then it doesn't matter but if it's not...

[brittle arch]

how do she know anyway, it's not like she was there when she was born

maybe Hornet can but she doesn't know

[polar stag]

How about that Hornet has a personality, speaks, and has independent thought as opposed to other void creatures with the exception of the Hollow Knight. We've also seen in Silksong she doesn't leave behind a shade on death. She leaves a cocoon.

[mortal grove]

we're going to need to see a flashback of herrah giving birth to hornet to know for SURE on everyone's soul

[naive path]

Also the void based lifeforms can cope just fine in the black egg but it's like poison to her

[lament coyote]

I don't think herrah would agree to infuse hornet with void.

[brittle arch]

very valid

[deep laurel]

herrah didn't bother to give hornet a name, or she gave a strange one

[brittle arch]

but that's not enough

[lament coyote]

Sounds good enough to me

[polar stag]

I forget where the footage is of Hornet's death cocoon but it's a real thing trust me

[brittle arch]

yeah I saw that

[deep laurel]

what is the lore explanation for her not dying?

[naive path]

The evidence to prove the argument is pretty stacked and there's none (to my knowledge) to indicate otherwise so

[stuck stratus]

So how does Hornet help during hk fight?

[brittle arch]

but you have to know there is no any sort of confirmation but theories

[rustic ore]

with a quick, decisive blow instead of a drawn-out fight

[naive path]

She literally says she can't survive in there but she'll join in if she spots an opportunity or something I recall but feel free to check that

[deep laurel]

is silk some kind of immortality essence

[polar stag]

We'll have to find out in Silksong. My guess is it's something to do with Pharloom being a "haunted kingdom"

[lament coyote]

Canon is that she doesn't die, it would be fucking dumb if there was a lore justification of her deaths

[brittle arch]

this is what i wanna say

[deep laurel]

or maybe it's like she almost dies but creates a cocoon to recover

[brittle garnet]

I mean respawning isnt canon in HK either

So probably isnt in silksong

[brittle arch]

yeah there's no lore based around respawning

as I remember

[lament coyote]

It would be even harder to somehow justify respawning in silksong

[viscid wind]

actually the knight just pops up from root nodes

[brittle arch]

you know nothing

[lament coyote]

Because it's not hk where your character is made from an obscure black substance

[polar stag]

I disagree. I prefer when there's an in-game explanation. The whole "deaths are non-canon" thing creates a disconnect between the actual story and the player experience

[brittle garnet]

Nah

[viscid wind]

enemies literally respawn when you bench i think it'll be really hard to explain that

[brittle arch]

that's just how it is, you should know that we are controlling the knight is not canon or sth

[deep laurel]

new enemies

[heavy magnet]

resting at a bench represents time passing, enemies reinforce or repopulate in the meantime

[brittle arch]

or we (the players) might be a part of hollow knight lore

[polar stag]

To some extent for things like enemies I'm fine with a little suspension of disbelief. And like Ortega and Fungified said you could headcanon they're just repopulating

[heavy magnet]

hornet leaving behind a cocoon of supplies is easier to have a lore rationalization for compared to the Shade
hornet bails and drops some of her stuff

[brittle arch]

that sound valid

[heavy magnet]

its not like her spare change is the dark magical substance that animates her undead shell

[brittle arch]

how about we should ditch the lore since it's kinda mid

[polar stag]

My point is the shade at least has some basis in the game's lore. You can pick out little inconsistencies or whatever but it's at least somewhat grounded in the world

[native elm]

why would hornet die

didnt she survive in 4 endings

[heavy magnet]

she survives in all of them

[lethal garden]

Is someone arguing for void hornet?

[heavy magnet]

which means any ending could lead into silksong

[coarse leaf]

quite a lot of games do this, needing justification for all of the gameplay mechanics is very often a hindrance to the story so its just excluded where it doesnt fit

[native elm]

how did she survive ending 2

[heavy magnet]

she's not dead, she's just trapped in there

[native elm]

dunno sis didnt move for a hot minute

[lethal garden]

Perhaps she gets rescued... It's open ended enough for it to be possible.

[native elm]

if they wanted to show her alive they would have done some similar to ending 3

[heavy magnet]

we'll never know what the real ending is, all endings are true!

[brittle arch]

who knows

[brittle garnet]

Realistically ending 2 is the most likely to follow into silksong, because Hornet would be severely weakened after that

[heavy magnet]

if she were dead she wouldn't be turned into a dreamer - their seals vanish when they die

[brittle arch]

silksong used to be a dlc

team cherry keep on lying

[lethal garden]

Or it could even be that one ending doesn't lead on to silk song while being perfectly valid in of its own right.

[brittle arch]

and we should still trust them ?

[brittle garnet]

Otherwise how does Hornet get captured by 4 minions

[native elm]

so shes alive in oneiric form you mean

[heavy magnet]

i would not have used that term but basically

[lethal garden]

Or it could be a prequel... Probably not but possible right?

[heavy magnet]

boo

[polar stag]

Oh wait I kinda see what you mean I think? Are you talking about it making no sense for the Knight's body to be controllable without the shade?

[native elm]

were the other ones sleeping or dead tho? I dont remember

[heavy magnet]

sleepin'

[brittle garnet]

Prequel would be the worst fucking outcome possible

[native elm]

oh ok

so they dont need food or anything

[heavy magnet]

nah, dream magic

[lethal garden]

Because limited endings for silk song?

[brittle garnet]

Basically yeah. No change, you know the outcome

[heavy magnet]

why didn't she use her drone army or portable buzzsaws during our fights with her

[brittle arch]

idk i mean like that's just how it is

we just shouldn't scratch our head too much

[lament pecan]

Do we still think silksong comin before september

[lethal garden]

I do suspect it's a sequel. So we could reasonably conclude that in the end she somehow survives all the different endings of Hollow Knight.

[tawdry narwhal]

couldn't get them through Hallownest Customs 😔

[lament pecan]

They have mentioned multuple times its a sequel

If that hasnt changed

In the meanwhile

[polar stag]

Like it makes no lore sense the Knight's corpse should be able to walk without the shade? Since the vessels are literally the King's dead children.

I guess you would be right in this instance.

[lethal garden]

I don't even understand... What did it mean for the door to the black egg to have hornet on it as a symbol... As though she becomes a dreamer?

[viscid wind]

yes she becomes a dreamer

?tag info jokerpsa

[white sail]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgzlVc4LM4J6_DfuscZ4AaABCQ

No ending stops Hornet from being captured, and the ability to break seals with bugs from Pharloom makes Hornet being locked in the Black Egg not an issue. Dreamers also don’t die when sealed, we simply didn’t have the means to remove them without killing them.

[lament pecan]

It doesnt make sense its a prequel because we know hornet is the protector of hallownest

[viscid wind]

thank you joker for the psa

[lament pecan]

If its a prequel it must have happened a long time ago

[lethal garden]

But if dreamers can be inside the egg... Making it impossible to kill them and get inside... Why weren't the original 3 put inside?

[heavy magnet]

pale king is stupid

[viscid wind]

also if its a prequel then hornet backtracked 2 million kilometers from pharloom back to hallownest

[brittle garnet]

There is probably a good reason to not put them inside

[brittle arch]

real

[brittle garnet]

So Hornet being inside is probably not ideal for the functionality of the seal

[lament pecan]

There had to be a failsafe if the hollowknight fails

[viscid wind]

pale king had foresight meaning he knew that the seals must be broken at some point

[lethal garden]

So maybe the seal is weak somehow?

[brittle garnet]

I think so

[lethal garden]

Or maybe the egg somehow ejects hornet and she becomes a living seal

[brittle garnet]

But after all it doesnt matter cause the seals cant prevent the radiance from escaping

[deep laurel]

maybe you can only save the hollow knight if you have save file with p5 done

[sour dagger]

check steam

[lethal garden]

But they can delay it, probably for a very long time

Long enough for it to be irrelevant in the immediate future to hornet whether she stays or leaves hallownest which is enough of an excuse for her to be able to leave

[viscid wind]

i CANT READ

[frozen frigate]

these mastery challenges got me fucked up bro

i have 7 done and there are 15

[fresh zodiac]

check deez nuts

[frozen frigate]

im on the last 2 guys i need to assassinate for this challenge and Are You Fucking Serious their cycles are matched up perfectly in the wrong way

the one closest to me is facing away and close enough to be jumped on only when the other guy is watching him and the guy furthest away is facing away and the other guy isn't watching him but he's out of range to be jumped on

i'd have to risk a reset just to get to the guy that i CAN kill here

[hollow void]

Very good!But I have a question...How long is your jaw

[frozen frigate]

Excuse Me

somehow i missed up my sleep arrow shot and now the guy furthest away will not turn back around

if i have to reset here i will come down upon ubisoft like every biblical depiction of the apocalypse all at once

i tried to let go of a wall and my character leaped off of it into the line of sight of a guard

[median fractal]

Are you just saying she will stay in Pharloom at the end of the game then?

[viscid wind]

well where else would she go

[hard orbit]

What month do you think it's coming out?

[viscid wind]

it's definetly better than hallownest

[median fractal]

I mean Hallownest is her home but considering Silksong is better I can see why I guess

[median fractal]

June or July

[hard orbit]

I'd be mad if it came out after September.

[median fractal]

Do we think a worm is in some form responsible for the creation of Pharloom or is that too lame/repetitive

Doesnt need to be part of the story again like the pale king was

[viscid wind]

lame and repetitive

[median fractal]

But just something something history

[viscid wind]

however the beacon thing is quite confusing

that big bell thing could be a beacon

[median fractal]

Probably wont come out later than that doe so

[lament pecan]

I hope this is the authors misinterprwting

Misinterpreting

[hard orbit]

I'm getting scared after seeing this.

[viscid wind]

because some random news outlet knows that the game is definetly releasing after sept

[lament pecan]

I would like TC to adress this but they wont

And ACMI wont either

[woeful heart]

Not sure how trusted this news outlet actually is, but I doubt we should really believe them unless it comes straight from ACMI or TC

And it would be unfair to the backers if this really is true

[viscid wind]

it doesnt even have a wikipedia page

[naive pier]

Probably some weird wording, since didnt Leth say he didn’t want to game releasing in the later half of the year?

[lament pecan]

He did

[viscid wind]

Plus aussies already are the first to get hands on silksong

[frozen frigate]

Leah = Leth
J = Ari Jibson
Williams = William Pellen

clearly this is TC trying to spread misinformation to the masses

[woeful heart]

I just don't think it'd make any sense for the game to come out after Game World since the museum will prolly be stuffed with spoilers

Like they'd prolly kill the hype if they went that route anyway

[lament pecan]

I think this is just poir wording from ACMI which is getting further misinterpreted

By news sources

[naive pier]

Yeah, this makes no sense

We’re fine, why release the game, at an event that spoils it?

[lament pecan]

New info dropped

Credit tom nook on reddit

The sprites are 18 months old

[woeful heart]

Makes sense, Hornet's cloak looks a lot darker than in the new promo screenshots

[median fractal]

I am kind of afraid after reading this but I know how dumb that decision is that I believe in TC

like I could see if it was a demo but if it isnt then that';s fucked

[viscid wind]

dont have to be? doesnt this only mean that silksong has been planned to be in acmi since 18 months ago

[woeful heart]

Not only that but I dont think there'd be a point in including Silksong in a museum about the process of game development if they're only going to show little tidbits of concept art and a demo

[lament pecan]

Game project files

Read the thing

[glossy berry]

that doesnt have to mean sprites??

[lament pecan]

Yeah you right

[glossy berry]

its a full exhibition why would they only demonstrate sprites in a call

[viscid wind]

consider that maybe the only communication between acmi and team cherry wasnt a zoom call 18 months ago giving them sprites

[lament pecan]

But its prob the sprites

Cause hornet cloak darker now

Then in the sprites

[viscid wind]

post processing:

[spring bridge]

I think the game will release before it being in the mesuem, it's not a game that can be completed in 4 hours as a first time playthrough, and it wouldn't make sense to only release it in one place then release it everywhere if it's already done

basically, june-july hype

[glossy berry]

its all speculative but june-august would make the most sense

[median fractal]

yep

also June has some stuff early in the year and a potential opportunity for Silksong to make yet another appearance

and switch 2 releases right at the beginning of June

[hard orbit]

June would be nice

[glossy berry]

all non falsifiable claims until we get to the point a release date is announced anyway

[median fractal]

which says nothing for the actual game really but the release is definitely past that

[glossy berry]

its like game leaks

[woeful heart]

A summer release is very probable

[spring bridge]

i'm pretty sure we'll get something on june 8th from the xbox summer gameshow

trailer/release date

[median fractal]

also summer = summer break for a lot of people aka free time to game

aka more hype

[hard orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[spring bridge]

hence why i'm hoping for an early july drop

[warped umbra]

why are people trustin' this journalist

[median fractal]

to be real its more like 107%

[woeful heart]

112%

[median fractal]

-# 112%

insane, we even share a braincell.

[carmine island]

Hi Mae

[warped umbra]

its literally info from team cherry to info from acmi to journalist interpretation of of info from amci to journalist

its like unreliable as fuck

[glossy berry]

hi muffin!!! :D

good evening hey hows it going :3

[spring bridge]

Because it's the only information we have and we need to cope

[carmine island]

Muffining out man

[lament lotus]

dude i am in unimaginable fuming agony

[glossy berry]

everybody knows that word of mouth is The most credible thing possible its like eyewitness testimony

[glossy berry]

human memory and extrapolation is perfect

[warped umbra]

a whole ass sprite sheet got released bro wdym its the only info we have HAHAHA

[spring bridge]

besides, an australian journalist wouldn't lie

[median fractal]

word of mouth is very credible in the silksong community especially

[lament lotus]

HOLY SHIT THATS THE WHOLE GIMMICK OF THE MANGA

[warped umbra]

i am coping absolutely fine now with the amount of info we gotten

[spring bridge]

and that too

[warped umbra]

in fact i want less

[carmine island]

Oiciding out I see

[lament lotus]

has anyone here read firepunch

[warped umbra]

the sprite sheet is like the first thing ever that actually feels like a spoiler

[median fractal]

yeah the more info there is the more I want to fucking play the stupid game

[glossy berry]

its at the point where im gonna have to start ignoring news for spoilers lmao

[median fractal]

also yeah more spoilers really

[glossy berry]

very intentionally avoided the sprites

[warped umbra]

i want release trailer and then play the game, thats all

[lament lotus]

does anyone here know someone who has read firepunch

[warped umbra]

no more random teasers n shit

[median fractal]

the sprites dont really tell me much so I just looked at them

[median fractal]

you 🫵

[lament lotus]

thats true but like someone other than me

[glossy berry]

my partner has supposedly yeah
dont know much about it </3

[lament lotus]

FUCK

[brittle garnet]

A conundrum. On one hand, release trailer will be fire. On the other, more spoilers.

[warped umbra]

oh ive looked at the sprites too, they aren't spoilery to me theyre fun to speculate on, but i really hope the game is sooner then because if they keep dropping stuff like this, its just a bit ehhh

[carmine island]

Wait you haven’t seen the sprite that confirms the hornet and lace marriage ending

[glossy berry]

absolutely iconic you go man
good to see you

[median fractal]

well honestly as long as you give it like one or two watches and dont obsess over it or analyze every frame (or watch someone analyze every frame) it should be fine

[glossy berry]

game of the year already

[brittle garnet]

Unfortunately i am the type of person to analyze every frame

[warped umbra]

just finish hollow knight while waiting for the release trailer

trust, its a peak strat

112% the game

[median fractal]

just... play the game like 4 times while waiting

[warped umbra]

especially because im busy with studies it takes up a perfectly reasonable amount of time

helps make the wait much more bareable

[woeful heart]

My cousin beat P5 everyday waiting for silksong... on day 67 he was never seen in the right state of mind ever again... /hj

[glossy berry]

no shortage of stuff to do right now yeah

[median fractal]

bro gone insane

[glossy berry]

games or going outside or studies or wtv

[median fractal]

binge anime 🔥

[glossy berry]

that works!!

[median fractal]

honestly we should be lucky we dont live in the dinosaur ages

cant imagine the silksong wait back then

holy shit generations cried their souls out probably

[woeful heart]

Silksobf will save us all

[median fractal]

Silksong will bring this world salvation

[carmine island]

Silksobf my beloved

[median fractal]

yeah I love Silksobf

the sobf part stands for "Silksong out by friday"

[carmine island]

Holy real…

It’s true because it’s an acronym

[misty reef]

wha

[woeful heart]

Can you believe it guys? Silksong, just a week away!

[lapis oyster]

Why are you calling tomorrow a "week"?

[woeful heart]

Its Friday over where I am

[carmine island]

Same

[median fractal]

Same

[woeful heart]

Sam

[neon island]

Can’t Leth just pop up to clarify that the game will be available to everyone before September 18th? After all, it’s not like the release date has to be revealed any further, it’s just to clear up a misinterpretation giving the whole situation a bad rep 😦

[lapis oyster]

You must be new here

[glossy berry]

given team cherry havent given any statement whatsoever about the acmi situation that would be strange

thus far its an entirely 3rd party event

[carmine island]

Is it? I’ve seen people being pretty positive about it and having good conversation about the sprite sheet

[glossy berry]

leths job isnt to clear up misconceptions on twitter dot com btw

worth clarifying

[neon island]

I get that TC never talk but like… Leth tends to pop up to clear up negative PR rumours, like when people thought it wasn’t coming out on Switch 1

I mean yes, but it’s something he’s done before

[carmine island]

Again how is this negative?

[neon island]

Would be nice I guess

[glossy berry]

thats because of a legitimate mistake in the translation of the nintendo page

not a 3rd party event that silksong is at in half a year

[neon island]

And this couldn’t be a legitimate misinterpretation from them? Idk just would be nice

[glossy berry]

youre very optimistic

this isnt anywhere near big enough for tc to care about confusion i dont think

assuming they even know there is any

[median fractal]

3rd party event but clearly by TC's choice.

[neon island]

??? It’s the closest thing to a release date we’ve ever gotten surely they understand that?

[glossy berry]

best case some rando will ping leth on twitter again and hell clarify

we wont get an inpromptu statement

[median fractal]

They really might not...

[brittle arch]

Hey gang

[glossy berry]

look at the trailer issue lmao
leth and the tc team had zero idea

[neon island]

Like why is everyone acting as though this is some 3rd party thing done without their permission or knowledge when they clearly have been given them a ton of assets, info and help setting up a literal exhibit?

[glossy berry]

nobody is saying that

[neon island]

Yes, until Leth proceeded to clarify on twitter dot com

[glossy berry]

after getting pinged several times
we'll see

[carmine island]

We should make a command that responds to people like this it’s so fucking annoying having to debate them because they think it’s leths job is to hold our hands and spoon feed us

[sour dagger]

silksong in 2025 years

[brittle arch]

Silksong is not real, the trailer is just a very well animated video

[carmine island]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1050111731004882944/1095158022625562744/the_looker.gif

[lapis oyster]

Silksong tomorrow

[carmine island]

Real actually

[neon island]

Damn I got turned into a ‘people like this’ for just asking a question. I’ve never asked for any mega clarifications on anything by Leth before and I’ve always hated how people harass him. I just thought this was a significant thing that seemed to generate some negative PR about the game. Damn

[lapis oyster]

"ThEy dOnT oWe YoU anYtHinG"

[neon island]

?

[glossy berry]

i have yet to see any negative PR whatsoever where have you been

[carmine island]

Yeha because I’ve seen a boatload of people ask this and having to deal with it while we just want to talk about shit in this channel is getting old

[glossy berry]

irregardless of how much you hate the harassment, leth's job isnt to clear things up for us on twitter

its a common enough sentiment that it gets old fast

[neon island]

It’s not negative PR about the Silksong presence at Game Worlds, to clarify. Its negative PR about the wording of a journalist who said it would be available first to Australians at the event

[glossy berry]

oh that doesnt matter in the slightest ok

[neon island]

Man idk what the hell else there’s even to discuss about silksong?

[kindred pewter]

Leth's job is to tell us whether hornet is on the red team or blue team

[glossy berry]

its in a game journalists prerogative to spread counterfacts or slight misinformation to garner clicks and controversy and discussion; they dont know anything more than you do

[lapis oyster]

Leth needs to hop on twitter and clarify the naked hornet sprite situation asap

[carmine island]

Hornet sprite situation is crazy

[neon island]

Don’t understand why this made everyone rage when I was just asking for some clarification about a simple potential misclarification. Sorry I intruded on leth’s personal life I guess? Without even pinging him? I literally just joined this server 5 minutes ago to see if anyone was able to clear up the issue

[glossy berry]

nobody is raging

[kindred pewter]

SHE'S JUST CHANGING CLOAKS 😭

[neon island]

“It’s so fucking annoying”

[carmine island]

I’m not angry man just a little annoyed people ask this so many times

[neon island]

A little or so?

[kindred pewter]

yall are over-reacting on the naked hornet sprite

[neon island]

And how am I supposed to be accountable for the hundred other people asking it dude 😭 I’m sorry I didn’t scroll the entire chat looking for other people asking it I guess

[kindred pewter]

omg guys no way naked knight

[carmine island]

Changing cloaks to get into a wedding dress this proves the hornet and lace marriage ending btw

[carmine island]

Not naked you can clearly see its cloak

[lapis oyster]

But when you die the shade is fully nude

[glossy berry]

there is a search function you do not need to have to try start new conversations for stuff thats been discussed dozens of times

[carmine island]

18+ game someone needs to report this

[glossy berry]

😟
theyve scrapped the cocoon in place of naked hornet ok

sure whatever

[carmine island]

It’s not animated at all it’s just the sprite floating there until you hit it

[glossy berry]

poorly magic erased out and superimposed into the game

white artifacts around it

[carmine island]

Real

Not even tried to it’s just got a white rectangle around it

[lapis oyster]

Hollow knight had orange balls, skong will have white rectangles as the main antagonist

[carmine island]

Real

Technically true actually since the lines of silk could be seen as really thin and long rectangles

[hexed atlas]

what im getting here is that we should abolish shapes

[carmine island]

Yeah

Fuck shapes, all my homies use lines and points

[frozen frigate]

stand-up comedy section on netflix has Lucid by Matt Rife at the very tippy top

[carmine island]

Who’s Matt rife?

[frozen frigate]

possibly the most unfunny thing on netflx as of this very moment

[lapis oyster]

Matthew Riffin

[frozen frigate]

im not sure of the full lore surrounding him but i know he's a piece of shit and very egotistical

[hexed atlas]

it's a shame that netflix cracked down on netflix account sharing on different households because how else am i supposed to intentionally not watch this show

[frozen frigate]

i watched one of his netflix specials like a year or two ago out of curiosity and all he did the entire hour was make sex and DV jokes it was the most boring and exhausting piece of media i've ever seen in my life

[carmine island]

@glossy berry yesterday I learnt ferryman gets destroyed by saws

I placed down a saw trap then stuck him with a red nailgun cable and he exploded

Instantly jumped into second phase

[hexed atlas]

this is so silly out of context sobbinf

[lapis oyster]

Just saw a few minutes of him, absolutelt insufferable

[carmine island]

The cable thingo

Conductored into oblivion

[frozen frigate]

i might watch one of those lord of the rings movies

i watched the hobbit a few months ago it was okay

[lapis oyster]

Make sure you have minecraft parkour on a second monitor, trust me

[frozen frigate]

its okay i have subway surfers on my phone

[hexed atlas]

the minecraft's there to balance out all the circles that are allegedly in the movie

[frozen frigate]

the green book looks interesting

[lament lotus]

kill

[hexed atlas]

me every time i see a grub

[lament lotus]

you

[frozen frigate]

am i tweaking or does The Mask of Zorro look really good for 1998

Hornet taking off her clothes is not the news I expected

[carmine island]

Cloudy with a chance of Silksong

[formal karma]

Mhmm

[carmine island]

Silksong with a chance of copium

[formal karma]

Don't need to cope when waiting isn't hard

[carmine island]

Real actually

Hornet is void waifu

[heavy magnet]

not here, that's for sure

try ccmaci's

[native elm]

sad

[carmine island]

Not here

[native elm]

whats a ccmaci

[formal karma]

Guessing nowherw

All theories are inevitably the same uninventive dreck

[frozen frigate]

except for mine

mine are innovative and revolutionary and will win me an award on creativity handed to me by team cherry themselves

[formal karma]

They're all "x is secretly y" or "x is dead" or "whole setting is posting apocalypse "

[woeful matrix]

the pale king is secretly sans

[formal karma]

To the point where Aladin is a post apocalypse because the MAGIC GENIE references the future- must mean that he's thousands of years old and lived in the 90s....

[grizzled stratus]

[heavy magnet]

skeenee

[frozen frigate]

im gonna watch the daredevil tv series i think

[heavy magnet]

here's one - everyone thinks the game takes place in some human's backyard
but it's actually the opposite - the bugs are colossal in size, and our whole world is in one of their backyard's

[lapis oyster]

me when i see the naked hornet sprite for the 48th time

[formal karma]

Bad. Lol

[frozen frigate]

something something flukemarm births far too many babies for it to be sustainable or an optimal survival choice for their species something something blah blah blah

[formal karma]

Shrug

[lapis oyster]

If only they still had the password

[obtuse nymph]

Im actually curious, who will use the lifeblood syringe?

[ionic hinge]

ı cant belıve ıt

ıts actually happenıng

[heavy magnet]

hopefully just one person, you shouldn't share those around

[carmine island]

Addicts I guess

[coarse leaf]

😏

[carmine island]

You waste so much money on syringes why not just share?

[coarse leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-23890372

This is why

[carmine island]

Bv is a heroin addict lore

[obtuse nymph]

I just personally see the syringe being kind unless other then it holdes you up in the air.

[fresh zodiac]

there's ass and nudity in silksong
game of the year anyone???

[carmine island]

Kinda useless you mean?

[obtuse nymph]

Yup.

Im not use to my keyboard, my apologies.

[coarse leaf]

Kinky needle

[ionic hinge]

[coarse leaf]

Hornet likely wont be capable of procreativity

[carmine island]

Anyone wanna change the topic?

[coarse leaf]

She wasnt given enough royal jelly to be stationary kaiju

[fresh zodiac]

cardboard manufacturing?

[carmine island]

MAN I LOVE MUNHCING ON CARDBOARD

[fresh zodiac]

saaame

chewy.....

[carmine island]

How do they make cardboard

[ionic hinge]

this year indie game people are eating good

[carmine island]

Like so they mine it from the ground?

[ionic hinge]

silksong AND deltarune

[carmine island]

Is it grown on trees?

[main geode]

underrated sprite, hornet is now the radience

[ionic hinge]

mine...craft

[carmine island]

Wait colour it black

Guys could hornet be…

[main geode]

no

nooooooo

[carmine island]

I would never suggest that

[main geode]

😠

[coarse leaf]

Arthropodic kingdom favors extreme dimorphism, especially in size difference, where they are purposed for layn thousands of eggs... which is why most maternal entities in game are so large, they cannot escape the small chamber in which they swelled within

[carmine island]

Hey gang who’s your favourite cardiologist?

[coarse leaf]

Why would she be affiliated

[carmine island]

By that I mean cardboard expert

[coarse leaf]

Isnt the radiance what propagated the infection in hollownest

[carmine island]

I don’t think he said it as an actual theory

Just as a goof

But like have you ever seen hornet and the radiance in the same room?

[coarse leaf]

🤔

In what way

The radiance was understood to be leakn due to the imperfect nature of the mistaken identity of the kings chosen one

Perhaps, all lights are different

Not all light is of the radiance

[kindred pewter]

Average Cain Run

[coarse leaf]

And would that imperfect seal have mattered since the fungal kingdom has perfect archival memory of ancient pasts

The rousal of ancient memory in a decaying mind

[alpine meteor]

Never seen anyone talk about the quest board. Its actually depressing because it gives quite a few details about enemy types, factions and items

[coarse leaf]

Never made perfect sense to anyone who didnt have the means to translate

[frozen frigate]

this is fascinating to me

i like the usage of hunt it implies you're not fighting an equal i think

[tawdry valley]

Well

[frozen frigate]

let their be Alpha Bugs like the legendary animals in ac valhalla lord please

[tawdry valley]

In that context it seems like you’re a hired gun

Big wanted poster

[alpine meteor]

I think Madness of the Pilgrims might be a faction based fight but plumed rhino might be a boss fight

[tawdry valley]

Grand hunts might be when your team up with someone

[frozen frigate]

hornet is a bug sorry

[tawdry valley]

Or most of these are, and you meet someone

[frozen frigate]

hired needle...

[alpine meteor]

Wouldnt that be Wayfarer

[tawdry valley]

Ooh true

Like escort missions

[viscid wind]

cain is probably the best character in the game

i thought grand hunts are like boss fights

[tawdry valley]

Get out of here, we’re discussing silksong

[tawdry valley]

Grand hunts are def bosses at minimum yeah

[viscid wind]

silksong? in my silksong chat? despicable

[deep laurel]

I didn't get all t lost marks yet before this update

[frozen frigate]

noooooo😭 😭

silksong will be mid confirmed

[tawdry valley]

Yes but no

[frozen frigate]

no its unquestionable now

[alpine meteor]

I think this is wayfarer

[tawdry valley]

Simply peak

[alpine meteor]

2nd quest board shot

Definitley not boss related

[carmine island]

Please make it lower quality

[alpine meteor]

IK its hard to see😭

that better?

[carmine island]

Here I pixilated it and made it green

[alpine meteor]

Sick

[quiet token]

https://tenor.com/view/finchozombies-rust-finch-bird-skateboard-gif-25629996

[carmine island]

Sick flip man

[alpine meteor]

I wonder if the crests have anything to do with hierarchy.

Or like jobs in Pharloom

[coarse leaf]

I hope there are more variations of nosk... hes the only one i know of that made use of dead bodies to somewhat disquise itself/ fool others

[brittle arch]

what does this do

[coarse leaf]

Or bosses with similar likness in concept

[brittle arch]

look hella strange

[carmine island]

Caltrop

[alpine meteor]

Pin

[carmine island]

Like a spike on the floor that people step on

[coarse leaf]

Maybe even a stealth mechanic for hornet

[brittle arch]

there's already caltrop

[coarse leaf]

Arya stark vibes

[alpine meteor]

Quest reward for church shaman from Mossy Grotto. Im calling it rn.

[carmine island]

Yeah that is the caltrop

[brittle arch]

pretty sure this one is

[carmine island]

No that’s the tool hornet uses in her kingdoms edge fight

[brittle garnet]

I wouldnt really describe this as a caltrop tbh

[brittle arch]

it's air caltrop

[carmine island]

Sure

[brittle garnet]

Its like a spike bomb

[carmine island]

We’ve seen her use it

[brittle garnet]

Yeah

[carmine island]

She pogos off of it

[brittle arch]

this is caltrop

[brittle garnet]

Yeah the flat side pins function more like caltrops

[brittle arch]

[brittle garnet]
