Lbp stands for?

[tawdry valley]

Little big planet

[quartz cave]

Peak peak peakpeak

[carmine island]

Oh I know that one

[tawdry valley]

https://tenor.com/view/sackboy-little-big-planet-sony-ps4-ps5-gif-27309400

[carmine island]

It’s the one with the little big planet

[quartz cave]

https://tenor.com/view/littlebigplanet-sackboy-lbp-saba-sackboy-a-big-adventure-gif-26687275

[tawdry valley]

Now send bye chat with this in reverse

[quartz cave]

https://tenor.com/view/littlebigplanet-sackboy-lbp-saba-sackboy-a-big-adventure-gif-26687294

[tawdry valley]

Perfect

[viscid wind]

also the belting is so unintuitive

[tawdry valley]

Oh and here’s one that’s fun @carmine island

[tawdry valley]

In shapez 1 you just click and drag while holding shift

Are you using keybinds or are you clicking individual belts until they do what you want them to do

[viscid wind]

dragging in straight lines and rotating by pressing r on every turn

[tawdry valley]

Interesting

[viscid wind]

i'm factoriopilled

[tawdry valley]

I’ve heard enough tbh. Uninstall and play shapez 1

If the music sucks then that’s enough of a reason

Shapez one music is actually godlike

[viscid wind]

oh shit i can just drag and it turns automatically

[tawdry valley]

Pfft

The standout thing of shapez for me is that unlike literally ever other fucking factory game, you can make literally anything you wanna make extremely quickly

Copy pasting is given to you later specifically because you can do a lot very quickly, (and also you should experiment with modules first)

And then satisfactory would still have you hand mining copper or whatever

[viscid wind]

still mostly idling rn

all my extractors are being fully used

[quartz cave]

Literally look across the hole

You can also throw shapes on the second floor if you need to deliver faster

[viscid wind]

i swear to god they werent there 5 minutes ago

[quartz cave]

Im sorry its true they werent there

I just spawned them forgive me please

[tawdry valley]

“I’m idling”
YOUR FACTORY ISNT BIG ENOUGH

DEAL MORE **DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT **

COVER THE WORLD IN STEEEEL

[quartz cave]

TRUE

[tawdry valley]

This is as far as I can go tbh. Haven’t played shapez 2 cause shapes 1 is peak

[viscid wind]

shapes ?

wtf is a shapes......

[median fractal]

STEEEEEELLLL SOOOUUULLL MO-

wait I just made a hollow knight reference

Whoopers

[tawdry valley]

It’s everything good about factory games distilled into a no bs open source and fantastic factory puzzle game. Also the music is a bop

[viscid wind]

did you mean shapez

[quiet token]

But... resting grounds has flower quest 🥺

[tawdry valley]

And this is a good thing, in your eyes

@quiet token

Bottom 2 mask shard

[quiet token]

Well... it's memorable

[tawdry valley]

I remember my worst bout of indigestion too

[median fractal]

I'll be completely honest Kingdom's Edge and The Hive deserve either second lowest or lowest tier

I am a certified hive hater

[tawdry valley]

Hive is a sub area

[median fractal]

And Kingdom's Edge is fucking primal aspid HELL

[tawdry valley]

Still issue

They die to every source of burst damage you have. Ranged or otherwise

[median fractal]

bro it doesnt matter

[tawdry valley]

You also hitless them by not running at them as fast as you can

[median fractal]

They fucking suck

[tawdry valley]

Charging a dude with a shotgun is meant to suck

[cunning geode]

they’re awesome

[quiet token]

Ngl I agree with the list mostly except i'd put forgotten crossroads 1 tier lower and resting grounds 1 higher

[tawdry valley]

Also KE is peak

[cunning geode]

yaaay primal aspids good job funny bugs

[median fractal]

my brain cannot comprehend this

[tawdry valley]

The purpose and theme of the area is fine. Crossroads is awesome because it gets infected. It serves a dual purpose as an area

[tawdry valley]

What redditors complain and post about in the moment or for the meme usually isn’t reality

[median fractal]

hm?

[quiet token]

Yeah but the game is slightly boring before greenpath for a reason

[tawdry valley]

Primal aspids being the worst enemy in the game is a meme more than it is an actual design issue

[median fractal]

It is my own opinion and I know some friends who share this opinion

[tawdry valley]

Realistically the most oppressive enemies in game are soul twisters, which while manageable are often pitted against low level players

[tawdry valley]

Noted

[lament lotus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U372CcLjC7A

[tawdry valley]

I thought Elden ring would help souls players heal. Not break them

[median fractal]

They were fucking hell to deal with in Colosseum of Fools and Kingdom's Edge was not fun in any of my HK playthroughs

But I mean we all have different opinions so 🤷

[tawdry valley]

Colo is probably their easiest encounter, because you know where they’ll spawn every time, and can nail art them before they can begin to fire

I too, am stating opinions

Whether they’re in a vacuum or a discussion is up to you

Def a pain in the ass for that one segment though

[median fractal]

Okay actually this is a skill issue on my end but I fucking suck at using Nail arts, to this day I can barely fit them in the way I play the game

[tawdry valley]

Spells work too

[quiet token]

I'd probably switch the places of resting grounds and waterways in the list i've never heard of anyone excited going to the waterways

[tawdry valley]

Not like you’re gonna heal during the midair sections

[tawdry valley]

The tunnel system and design of the flukes makes waterways pretty fun

I think the acid lever stuff is weird though

And resting ground is a total nothing burger

[viscid wind]

idling again

[mellow wind]

Have you considered that nobody wants to farm this useless item 💔 🥀

[tawdry valley]

I meant what I said about being unable to help

Idk how the sequel game works. Iirc use the extra floors or something

[viscid wind]

ik im just saying it for the funny

[tawdry valley]

Or upgrade your other things with the other objectives

[tawdry valley]

Shut your mossless ass up.

[lament lotus]

have you considered that the music is good

[quartz cave]

Why are you using 4 generators for one lane

Like two have enough speed to mantain its own lane

[mellow wind]

I have my fair share of moss after playing the game to ng+900 💔

[viscid wind]

uh, no?

[tawdry valley]

If you think you have enough moss then you never would have had enough moss

[quartz cave]

Yeah but cutters and shit dont have the same speed as conveyors

If you have shapes waiting to enter a maching then you can split em

[mellow wind]

There is never too much moss

[viscid wind]

im using multiple cutters per lane

[tawdry valley]

Huh? What shape

[quartz cave]

Are you idk the screenshots way too far up

[tawdry valley]

Zoom in on your contraption

[viscid wind]

4

[quartz cave]

Yeah the shapes are still waiting

Those four lanes could be eight at best 6 at worst

[tawdry valley]

Efficient factories have maximum output while also not having a backlogged input

[brittle arch]

shape io ? factorio rip off ?

[carmine island]

Can’t eat my cookies and cream ice cream because I cut my lip give me one good reason

[tawdry valley]

Shapez 2

[quartz cave]

Also combining them into a single belt at the end also slows it down by having them wait to merge

[mellow wind]

Just eat it bro what

[tawdry valley]

If you fail to persist until tomorrow then the ice cream is mine

[viscid wind]

they're NOT idling

[carmine island]

The massive fucking Band-Aid on my bottom lip is gonna annoy me too much to actually enjoy it

[valid sable]

I'm waitin for the big June update to get back into Shapez 2

[mellow wind]

How badly did you manage to cut your lip to need a bandaid for it 😭

[viscid wind]

show me in what way are the shapes waiting

[valid sable]

This dude plays in full top-down, gross

[quartz cave]

Literally waiting to be cut up at the first machine

Literally waiting to merge at the end of both factories

[carmine island]

Wrought iron gate I’ve also got a broken nose and black eye

[viscid wind]

the ratios literally fucking match

[mellow wind]

That’s crazy you tried to give the gate a kiss or sm 😭 🙏

[carmine island]

Everything is NOT coming up muffin

[mellow wind]

Forgive me if I’m just being a lobotomised idiot but what is this supposed to mean 😭

[quartz cave]

Like in the first two circles the shapes stop, get intk the cutter and the ones behind those stop for quite a bit

Same happens on the latter two but instead of getting onto machines theyre unnecessarily waiting to be merged into a lane

[carmine island]

It’s a pretty old saying for everything going well for someone

[viscid wind]

am i being ragebaited right now

[carmine island]

But I’m this case it’s not

[mellow wind]

Oh mb lmao

[carmine island]

It’s ok I will forgive you

[viscid wind]

it produces a stable 60 shapes per minute there is no stopping at the start

[mellow wind]

It does not sound like it’s going good 🥀

[valid sable]

Yeah that's not actually bottlenecking. If you split them into two lanes you'd probably see gaps every other shape from the time it takes to cut

[carmine island]

It’s fine they’ll all heal so it’s better than damage to my teeth

[quartz cave]

Like literally just do this

[quartz cave]

-# shut the hell up

[mellow wind]

That’s so real I’d crash out if I fucked up my teeth

[tawdry valley]

You make a factory go faster by making:
-even distribution
-larger number of actions to distribute to

You want more cutters.

[quartz cave]

Id never ragebait

[valid sable]

[mellow wind]

When did we get the pale king in chat 😭

[formal karma]

Day 147 of posting cardinals until silksong releases

[quartz cave]

If somethings slow just get more cutters

[carmine island]

I’m a fucking miracle when it comes to my teeth I had an accident and had to get a bit of my jaw reconstructed but zero damage to my teeth it was sick

Well not zero but pretty minimal

[mellow wind]

That’s insane how do you manage to do these things, I’ve literally just broken my arm and that’s about it 😭

[viscid wind]

I dont need more cutters because im literally matching the ratio of cutters

[quartz cave]

GET MORE CUTTERS RAHH

[tawdry valley]

Do you want to go faster or do you want to perfectly match belt speed

smh

[carmine island]

I live dangerous style B) (also just a fucking dumbass)

[quartz cave]

I will cutter your brains

[tawdry valley]

If nothing else: build the same factory a second time

Boom, double speed.

[viscid wind]

i'm literally producing exactly as much as i consume i dont understand how adding more cutters would speed it up

[mellow wind]

Lowkey, invest in becoming a redbull athlete

[carmine island]

Yass bitch cut those cubes or something

[quartz cave]

Try it out then check if its sped up ever though about that

[tawdry valley]

More cutters, backlog for mergers, more mergers, backlog in output pipe, more output pipe - more output
FASTER

refer to my initial introductory advice

[viscid wind]

but more shape generators isnt quite possible, no?

[quartz cave]

That is still, TRUEEE

[carmine island]

I’m not the best athlete lol

[tawdry valley]

If these are pipes that can produce at max output, then your output is at best at half of what it could be

[viscid wind]

it goes up to the second floor

[tawdry valley]

Then idk what I’m talking about

[quartz cave]

Get like more cutters

[frozen frigate]

Forgive them even if they are not sorry🔥✍️

[tawdry valley]

But make it bigger

[viscid wind]

NOTHING CHANGED EXCEPT THAT THE CUTTERS ARE IDLING

[frozen frigate]

Julian Casablancas in the 11th dimension music video whyyyyy why bring this wretched evil upon the world

[quartz cave]

Better to have cutters idling than a shspe backlog smh

[carmine island]

All music videos should look like what it feels like to listen to the song

[frozen frigate]

I agree

[tawdry valley]

Probably not

[frozen frigate]

The adults are talking by the strokes music video

[carmine island]

Don’t care

[tawdry valley]

Pumped up kicks

Animals

[carmine island]

I’ve actually never heard that song in its entirety

[viscid wind]

I DONT HAVE A SHAPE BACKLOG

[carmine island]

Also animals is not specific enough for a song name

[quartz cave]

Imagine not being a shapez mastermind

[tawdry valley]

If you’re at max possible production and still idling with no other objectives then shapez 2 is a bad game

[viscid wind]

it's not a bad game

[frozen frigate]

Well I guess technically what it feels like to listen to the song is not the same as what the song is about, but also what you feel when listening to any given song could be entirely different from everyone else so the whole idea doesn't really work out anyway

[viscid wind]

the issue is that i'm playing the tutorial

[tawdry valley]

[Redacted]👹

[viscid wind]

also that im dumping all my things into the main objective instead of the side one

[tawdry valley]

Edith

Does the side objective increase production speed as a reward

[viscid wind]

yes

[tawdry valley]

I’m going to laugh at you now

[viscid wind]

but it's the tutorial and it's ending in like 5 minutes anyway

[tawdry valley]

The tutorial ends, the game begins, your factory still exists surely?

Otherwise wtf are you building and where

[viscid wind]

i dont actually know about that

[tawdry valley]

I have my tutorial spaghetti still up and running in my actual endgame shapez game

Museum piece style

[viscid wind]

im unlocking this big thing next

[tawdry valley]

Well you should increase production surely

Belt speed in my experience is highest priority

Cause duh. If belts are your weakest link then nothing can be faster than the belts

[viscid wind]

oh i can zoom out?

[tawdry valley]

Also really high belt speed makes really large makeshift factories optimal which is based

[viscid wind]

holy fucking shit

[tawdry valley]

Yeah so

Not the tutorial

You in that bitch and can’t get out

[viscid wind]

surely it just had to be procedurally generated

[tawdry valley]

Ya

[quartz cave]

Just look up the shape you need and make a train to it smh

[tawdry valley]

Unlock your fucking upgrades man

And tap into those vast resources in space while you’re at it

Idk if you need space platforms or whatever

but someone somewhere out there can be robbed

[quartz cave]

Does shapez 1 not have the islands

If so where do you get shapez out of

[tawdry valley]

It’s so free

[tawdry valley]

There’s infinite ground and the islands of resources are ground with color or shape labels

[quartz cave]

Oh so the same thing but you dont need platforms or trains

[tawdry valley]

This is my favorite beginner attempt at shapez 1 ever

Color goes in color hole, shape goes in shape hole, blue tunnels into green

ONLY ONE of those painters is active

[viscid wind]

????????? wtf is this

[tawdry valley]

Peak

[viscid wind]

copying feels super weird

[tawdry valley]

Don’t make me tap the sign

[viscid wind]

as in

right click -> shift click -> drag -> ctrl+c

[tawdry valley]

If you can highlight to select and then save/cut/copy/paste rotate a blueprint then yes

[viscid wind]

no i meant as in copying feels overtly complicated

[tawdry valley]

Weird

[warped umbra]

wtf happening with the xbox dropdown lmaooo

xbox on some drugs

before it showed this shortly after it appeared

its so funny

apparently other people are seeing this HAHAHA

holy shit it just updated again and now its showing a bunch of minecraft editions

[mellow wind]

Xbox is having a stroke

[warped umbra]

its genuinely tweaking so hard right now

its not just silksong its a bunch of games on the xbox store tho

not any news but its really funny

[trail glade]

deathly silk

[trail glade]

oo hi-fi rush 2 sounds nice

[carmine island]

It’s not technical issues because there’s Silksong this means Silksong tomorrow

[trail glade]

they said

silksong in september
which isdefinitely true

[carmine island]

I think the smart thing to do rn is sleep for 16 hours or till my face stops hurting

[trail glade]

the smart thing to do is put half of your brain to sleep

[carmine island]

Maybe like a quick 18 hour nap

[trail glade]

and then wake it up then put the other half to sleep

[carmine island]

18.5 hours maybe

[trail glade]

💯 efficiency

[carmine island]

Or like 19.8

I’ll be awake by Friday

[glossy berry]

one hundred year nap

[carmine island]

See Mae gets it

[meager tree]

did they release it yet

[floral delta]

No

[meager tree]

damn

[glossy berry]

muffin is literally the hero of time

[scenic atlas]

Is this real?

[floral delta]

Yeah

[brittle arch]

At a Museum Only

[formal karma]

Oh man. ACMI is downgraded to playable deno

[brittle arch]

indicate that Team cherry WONT release the game, you have to go to that specific Museum to play everytime

[lament lotus]

deno

[formal karma]

Yea

[brittle arch]

maybe it's gonna be the old demo

[formal karma]

Which means maybe no game until November

[brittle arch]

as if there's any game at all

team cherry have been drinking beer and go catching bugs

[lament lotus]

but thats how losers think

silksong tommorow

[glossy berry]

not entirely

its confirmed to be playable the demo bit/it being playable first at ACMI is speculation

[formal karma]

99% winrate

[lament lotus]

Huh

[glossy berry]

can you believe it guys! deltarune! just 28 days away!

woohoo! i am so happy about this information

[brittle arch]

shut up delter

[strange gulch]

Will Herobrine be in Silksong?

[brittle arch]

or runer idk

[lament lotus]

i think getting a little spoiled on deltarune then actually playing it is better than going in completely blind

[kindred pewter]

I think not playing deltarune is actually a lot better

[lament lotus]

TRUE

[glossy berry]

only good game this year is ena dbbq

[lament lotus]

jazzpunk but good

does anyone even know what jazzpunk is

[low finch]

Nah

[strange gulch]

Definetly my favorite cooking sim of all time

[glossy berry]

where tf do i recognise that name from

[lament lotus]

its one of those games where its not really memorable but you still remember vivid parts of the game

[brittle arch]

how about monster hunter wild

[glossy berry]

only good game this year is ena dbbq

[lament lotus]

mh fans when they get to beat a monster doing the same 3 attacks for 45 minutes

[floral delta]

Only good game that isn't from this year is Nine Sols

[lament lotus]

- person whos only played nine sols

dude i hate this bullet shit

[floral delta]

I've played HK

Forager, etc

[brittle arch]

so goated on god

[brittle arch]

Forager was so good

until you play it again

[quick swan]

WHEN

i thought i had 50 hours.. not 116!!

[fresh zodiac]

what the fuck is happening

[warped umbra]

someone at xbox pushed a broken git commit

[viscid wind]

i think the playtime should be 2 hours

[viscid wind]

at least it's not a friday.

[quick swan]

jesse

you are a blowfish

[viscid wind]

what?

blowfishin this up

[lament lotus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V17RX09zJRE

dude

my youtube keeps having japanese subtitles

[median fractal]

bro's watching anime without the anime part

[lament lotus]

no matter what it just turns on for every video 😭

[normal token]

Silksong will be playable at the ACMI museum ye (opens on 18th September), if the game is releasing before or after that is unknown

[ember violet]

before

otherwise people could just spoil everything just because they went to this museum lol

[mossy salmon]

First we silk, then we song. LET'S SILKSONG

[fresh zodiac]

unless theres the chance its like the demo from the treehouse stream again

but that would be stupid
its been like 6 or 5 years and they still had the same demo

[ember violet]

yeah

[fresh zodiac]

i feel like summer would be a very good time to release it

[deep laurel]

on my way to museum in austria

[fresh zodiac]

thats not how you spell gauss trail ia

[normal token]

Bro's not gonna find the museum

[normal token]

Tbf despite that chance they're app gonna show the spritesheet of Hornet + logic of the game's most challenging bossfights, still p spoilery

Considering all of that I hope it is before but nothing confirmed yknow

[warped girder]

Where's this from?

[ember violet]

tomorrow

[deep laurel]

probably when I'm on vacation

(not in austria)

[kindred viper]

Over here in Farloom, straight up silking it, and by "it" haha, let's just say... My Hornet

[rocky flicker]

Don’t give me ideas

[chilly crane]

If you meet me out in quahog say hi

[frozen frigate]

but if you see me at the clam im a talkative guy

[tame marten]

I maybe have an obsession with looking for frames not on the spritesheet

[warped umbra]

do you have an excel spreadsheet

if you dont you arent a true fan

[tame marten]

damn

I'm too adhd to do something so based

[warped umbra]

tbh i would do it

sounds fun

but also incredibly time consuming

[tame marten]

Most of the missing ones seem to be tool animations or crests

[glossy berry]

consider
it would be so funny

[warped umbra]

i might do it after i finish some uni work

i need something to feed my silksong hyperfixation

[smoky nebula]

Have you tried playing hollow knight to get rid of the silksong hyperfixation

[warped umbra]

yes

ive been 112%ing the game

its not enough

[tame marten]

I’ve been doing that
I got achievement for 100%-ing in under 20 hours last night

[warped umbra]

yo nice

[smoky nebula]

Do what my bestie did and make a sculpture of your favourite character

[warped umbra]

already done that as well 😭

made a 3d print of the knight

a while ago

idk where it is tho

[tame marten]

I’ve watched all the Mossbag Silksong analyses an unhealthy amount of times this week

[normal token]

Hornet surfboarding minigame with her needle when

[warped umbra]

ive been watching mossbag videos for fun as well recently

[normal token]

Me watching a mossbag silksong analysis video knowing full well all the points he's going to make

[tame marten]

I didn’t notice the vignette at least

Score one Mossbag

[warped umbra]

i was stuck in traffic for an hour so i listened to the hollow knight completely lore video while driving

[smoky nebula]

Have you tried going insane

[warped umbra]

oh shit i need to do my host recording for DSN, im hosting in like 3 days

[warped umbra]

yes, i am clinically insane

i have no idea what to do for my host video, i was thinking of doing a song but idk if i have time

[smoky nebula]

Well you've gotta do it day of so you know if there's any news(the answer will be no but still)

[warped umbra]

yes

ive hosted like 3 times now

this is the last time i hosted lol
https://youtu.be/UmVz0u8GCjY

[normal token]

What is your silk? A song of some kind?

[warped umbra]

also yes i am both "Minuque" and "Shaniqua"

i voiced both of them

because why not

[tame marten]

February 3th

This is vaguely terrifying

[normal token]

You broke DSSN NDA I think it's time to kill you

[warped umbra]

fuck

the time i hosted before that someone thought i was british in the comment section

was the most shocking insult ive ever gotten

[smoky nebula]

It's okay I get that insult all the time

But also your name is tea

[warped umbra]

why would i ever willingly be british if i can help it

[warped umbra]

there is deep lore behind my name

that does not relate to Britain

[smoky nebula]

Uncle iroh‽

[warped umbra]

to be completely honest i genuinely dont even remember why im named Tea

[smoky nebula]

Coffee was taken

[warped umbra]

but I remember a bunch of people also named themselves Tea after me

those Tea's are since gone

oh thats why

i tagged some rajndom person by accident

impulsively changed my name to Tea as damage control??? i have no idea

[smoky nebula]

Have you ever been bitten by a brit

[warped umbra]

every night i have to defend myself against british people

[smoky nebula]

They spread that way
Happens to the best of us

[tame marten]

Why is her little hornet out

[warped umbra]

nah its just a blurry sprite sheet do not fret

[normal token]

It's been this long might aswell stick to it

[warped umbra]

people recognize me by this so i might as well stck to it yeah

its my silksong identity

[tame marten]

I wonder if the map system will get any changes

I adore Hollow Knight's map, I think it's like genius game design as far as I'm concerned
But I'm not entirely sure if it would be a great fit for Silksong just ported without changes

[warped umbra]

im like 100% sure it would be adapted to fit silksong

why wouldn't it really

[tame marten]

Idk there just hasn't been much indication that it would

[normal token]

I don't see what else there would be to expand ngl

[warped umbra]

yeah^

[light galleon]

I love the hollow knight map

[warped umbra]

the map system is pretty robust out of the box

and straight forward

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/dora-themap-imthe-gif-22214617

[warped umbra]

what else would you really add?

[woeful matrix]

map

[light galleon]

You can never get confused or bored because the map always tells you where you haven't been yet

[warped umbra]

one thing i wonder is whether seeing your location on the map would be like a wayward compass type thing or something you will have accessible from the beginning

[normal token]

Ye, those little gaps you find the map are really useful

[tame marten]

There's a tool in the reveal trailer that looks like a compass

[light galleon]

I don't like the wayward compass mechanic tbh

[normal token]

The reveal trailer has a compass so idk

[cunning geode]

that’s actually a big tin of butter cookies that’s filled with sewing supplies

[warped umbra]

if its a tool, and tools are typically upgradable, i wonder if theres like upgradale compasses

i have no idea how you would exactly make a compass upgradable tho

[normal token]

What would there be to upgrade

[light galleon]

The game becomes 3d after you upgrade your compass

[tame marten]

I'm guessing only the active consumable tools will be upgraded

[warped umbra]

i genuinely have no idea

[cunning geode]

you could make it so instead of needing the pen to mark stuff you need to upgrade the compass

remember the map in HK had other items you needed to buy for it

[warped umbra]

yeah id assume you might have stuff like that

from the blog posts, we've been told pretty explicitly that the map system will be very similar

so i guess theres that

[tame marten]

I'm hoping at the very least you don't need to buy the quill anymore

[warped umbra]

to be completely honest, i dont mind that you have to buy the quill or that you dont initially have maps of areas, commiting areas to memory is quite fun

[tame marten]

That's always just seemed a bit annoying and unnecessary

[tame marten]

I'm fine with not starting with the maps of the area to be clear, and it's something I'm fully on board for with Silksong

[warped umbra]

if the quill is like something like low cost i dont mind

[light galleon]

I think its actually better to not start with a map

It adds to the exploration aspect when you reach a new area

[warped umbra]

yeh

[tame marten]

yeah

[warped umbra]

its a rly cool aspect

[normal token]

Still feels like you get to the same conclusion spending resources for it so

[warped umbra]

man June is pretty soon

thats wild

[tame marten]

This year has gone by sooooo fuckin fast

[normal token]

The faster the better

[tame marten]

Is the consensus that it'll be June?

[normal token]

That is what I believe in

[warped umbra]

i think June makes sense

[tame marten]

I'm hopeful for June but a month and a half seems so optimistic I'm leaning toward August personally

[warped umbra]

marketing wise i feel like June has so many opportunities to advertise the game

on very big platforms too

[tame marten]

Deltarune and Silksong both coming out in June would do insane things to me

[fiery burrow]

December

Take it or leave it

[normal token]

Sure why the fuck not

[warped umbra]

in the past that wouldn't have mattered as much since the game didnt have a release window or anything, but since theres a confirmed release for 2025, i feel like it just makes sense

[cunning geode]

yup

[kindred pewter]

now that I look at it, Garmond looks like Jack Black

[warped umbra]

i want a random famous voice actor acting in silksong

[frozen frigate]

oh wombat i listened to I'll Be Your Girl by The Decemberists today it was incredible

[warped umbra]

that would be really funny

[cunning geode]

yay

[tame marten]

Random Hugh Jackman cameo

idk I just looked up australian celebrities

[normal token]

Chris Pratt

[warped umbra]

Chris Pratt, voicing hornet

[tame marten]

We all know he's voicing hornet
Yea

[warped umbra]

peak cinema

[cunning geode]

i’ve created a couple new decemberistheads over my life now

[tame marten]

I kind of just hope more well known community members get cameos tbh

[warped umbra]

araraura

[tame marten]

He's earned it

[cunning geode]

wilbo

he’s earned some cake

[warped umbra]

i honestly feel like ararura deserves something

i feel like he played a huge role in driving the hype of silksong by creating the daily news channel

[normal token]

Nah I hope he gets nothing

[warped umbra]

fair enough good point

[cunning geode]

i’ll pass it along to him that the community believes he deserves nothing, thanks for the input

[normal token]

Good

[warped umbra]

spit in his tea while youre at it

[smoky nebula]

DJ pichu is the entire hollow knight community

[tame marten]

I'm surprised Leth never found the time to show up on DSN

[normal token]

Shhhh I don't want that revealed yet

[warped umbra]

he probably has the time, he's just uncontactable now because of the chronic fans

his dms are like disabled lol

[normal token]

Leth is just saving his appearance for the silksong release date

[warped umbra]

they used to not be because i had dms with him before regarding some weird thing to do with nintendo and his job i forgot

but they are like completely disabled now

oh yeah i was asking him what stock markets to invest into

[normal token]

I was discussing the release date with him a few days ago but I forgot what went on in it

[tame marten]

[warped umbra]

Leth's actually my dad

[sinful flare]

graig is my long lost dad have you seen him

[warped umbra]

he's not coming back

[normal token]

He was dissapointed in you and left

[tame marten]

Give him money if you ever want to see him again

[cunning geode]

a lotta crazy peeps have showed up on dssn

i think

[smoky nebula]

Has Bob appeared yet‽

[warped umbra]

ive only commented on the r/silksong subreddit twice and both times my comment has been the top comment

this could fuel an addiction and is my sign to immediately mute the sub and leave

[normal token]

The closest Team Cherry "member" DSSN has gotten is Graig

[cunning geode]

no that would be sheen estevez

[warped umbra]

also me, ive hosted 3 times and Leth is my dad

im like basically part of Team Cherry

[normal token]

Damn Leth's my uncle and I hosted 3 times

[cunning geode]

is this what it means to “discover yourself”

[warped umbra]

i guess youre part of Team Cherry too

[normal token]

My entire life has been preparing for Silksong

This is what I was born for

[cunning geode]

also damn that would be a badass name for a horror game about doppelgangers

[warped umbra]

i mean we're all probably related to William, Ari, Jack and Leth in some way, so we are all probably part of Team Cherry

we should all get the role

[cunning geode]

you’re all human

[normal token]

We're all human so I say yes

[kindred pewter]

who wants to check if 100 of yourselves can beat a gorrila??

[cunning geode]

not me tho

[warped umbra]

you're a wombat

[cunning geode]

truee

[shell yacht]

100 wombats probably could, I think their bite force is better than ours

[normal token]

My knowledge of Silksong will surely overwhelm the gorilla

[shell yacht]

I mean they would just do it faster than us, humans would also win

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/tsutsuba-cute-amwombat-wombat-gif-17988259

[kindred pewter]

isn't wombat like a wolf??

[cunning geode]

no??

[shell yacht]

It's like a big rat but not a rodent (?)

[cunning geode]

it’s a marsupial

completely different kind of mammal from like 90% of other mammals

[tame marten]

My encyclopedic knowledge of nearly every tiny thing that has ever been teased

[cunning geode]

kangaroos are also marsupials. it’s the pouch thing

[shell yacht]

Yeah those things, I was not awake enough to remember that word

[cunning geode]

but if you meant me im actually a wolf hybrid lion mix. king of the junjle but still social and ferocious

[warped umbra]

[warped umbra]

i know those

damn journalists be looking at the ACMI stuff and really saying whatever the fuck they want

[tame marten]

Think it's really funny that IGN got a W and now all the other outlets are just trying to milk whatever they can out of someone else's one article

(A month after the ACMI thing was already formally announced)

[warped umbra]

all the joruanlist writing as if they know some extra insider info

[normal token]

"So I played the game, it was a game I played"

[shell yacht]

I mean they've been trying to milk stuff out of absolutely nothing for three or four years this isn't really that different

Like Graig comments, people misquoting leth etc

[warped umbra]

the ACMI thing will DEFINITELY have this and and DEFINITELY have that because my dad is Team Cherry and works at Ari Gibson

[normal token]

ACMI will have a real life Pharloom

[warped umbra]

ACMI will showcase my missing sock

[normal token]

ACMI will

[shell yacht]

Thanks to ACMI Australia will now have real spiders instead of the government drones bigger than your cat

[normal token]

Silksong will have ACMI Australia spiders

[warped umbra]

im just gonna drop this theory, im sure someone else has made it before

i wonder if when they say the world is ruled by silk and song, i wonder is Silk is the Soul bound whatchamfucker and Song is used to control people inflicted by Silk

so you "infect" a bug with Silk and control it with Song

idk

[normal token]

The puppetmaster theory was popular for a while

[warped umbra]

yeah i know that one

i wonder if bugs that play music or use music aren't affected by the silk or something

[brittle garnet]

I feel like music is actually a way of avoiding being affected

[warped umbra]

i think so too, but i think its also the way bugs are affected

[brittle garnet]

There is a specific song that 'infects' you?

[warped umbra]

considering the lines "at the first bell toll, do this, something something yadda yadda"

[deep laurel]

maybe Herrah's real husband is the culprit

Harold

[brittle garnet]

But those were probably from before the haunting began

[warped umbra]

nah, i think that Silk is used to infect you because its bound by soul, and Song is kinda like something that activates the spell or controls the silk within you

[warped umbra]

could be yeah, i have nothing to go off of really

just a fun theory

[brittle garnet]

The allegiance of whatever is controlling the silk is still unclear

[warped umbra]

another thing I wonder is, Lace also has silk come off her when you fight her, so i wonder if shes haunted as well

[brittle garnet]

Its trying to stop hornet on her journey, so one would think it is aligned against the citadel since they wanted to bring her there

Another thought was that it selects and chooses who to affect

[warped umbra]

i think they just wanted Hornet because she can make Silk, and they need Silk

[brittle garnet]

That makes a lot of sense

[brittle garnet]

I think this cannot be true. They seem to have plenty of silk just lying around everywhere

[normal token]

A special type of silk Hornet prob has

[warped umbra]

maybe Hornet has soul infused silk?

[fiery burrow]

Weavers do too

[warped umbra]

yeah

[brittle garnet]

She does, and she has a unique ability to control her silk

[brittle garnet]

Thats not necessarily true

[fiery burrow]

But it is

[brittle garnet]

Hornet's silk is at least described as unique

[warped umbra]

i havent read into it to know lol

but if silk is lying around everywhere, then i guess it could make sense that hornets silk is special in some way

[shell yacht]

The weavers have already used silk as a medium before and they used it for a ton of shit back in the prime days of the Kingdom

[brittle garnet]

Weavers may know how to infuse silk with Soul but i think it probably isnt like that right out the gate, while for Hornet it is

[fiery burrow]

Sure

[warped umbra]

the silk we see some of the later game bosses in silksong use seem to be magical as well

[brittle garnet]

Yeah

[warped umbra]

bosses or harder enemies i have no idea

[brittle garnet]

Somewhat

[normal token]

Could the SoB in the cage be made of silk?

[warped umbra]

idk what SoB is

[brittle garnet]

Possibly!

[normal token]

Seal of Binding

[warped umbra]

ah

[fiery burrow]

Presumably

[brittle garnet]

Possibly any seal must be made from silk! We dont know

[fiery burrow]

But its also not a Seal of Binding

[warped umbra]

maybe silk is just a really good medium to contain soul

[brittle garnet]

But im willing to bet that silk is a required or at least preferred material for creating seals

[fiery burrow]

I'm not

Seals seem to use soul silk is just one of the ways to harness soul

[brittle garnet]

One of the limited ways

[warped umbra]

we've seen soul contained in other things (i think?), i guess silk is just very effective at doing it

[brittle garnet]

Is what i meant

[fiery burrow]

WYM

[normal token]

A seal doesn't need silk but is just one of hte most accessible ways most prob

[brittle garnet]

Well the silk doesnt seem to merely contain soul, and soul merely contained doesnt seem to have any special effects

[fiery burrow]

yeah

[brittle garnet]

So the silk is either channeling it or focusing to somehow achieve magical effects

[fiery burrow]

Seals aren't just contained soul they are also magic glyphs

[brittle garnet]

And there is steps you need to perform to get from soul to magic

Somehow

And its a bit mysterious atm

[fiery burrow]

Sure but that's not relevant because the two groups making seals are innate spellcasters

[brittle garnet]

And yet both use silk

[fiery burrow]

No reason to think PK used silk for making his seals

[warped umbra]

he did tho

[fiery burrow]

Source

[brittle garnet]

He has a bunch of silk spools in the white palace stag station

[shell yacht]

That's just their chosen medium, it's naturally part of them so naturally it's easier (?)

[warped umbra]

its in game lore im pretty sure, i remember cuz i heard it in the moss bag video i watched today while driving lol

[fiery burrow]

For his workshop yes

No reason to tie that to seals

[brittle garnet]

Or seals, equal possibility

[warped umbra]

cant remember the source but im pretty sure the seal used to keep the hollow knight in place was requested to be made by the Weaver by the Pale King

[brittle garnet]

I mean the 3rd option is just for writing

[warped umbra]

someone else can find it if its true

i think its said in some dialogue or something

[brittle garnet]

The same seal is found unfinished in weavers den

But not said anywhere

[fiery burrow]

Well silk is literally in the workshop

[warped umbra]

ah i see

[fiery burrow]

Fanon

[brittle garnet]

Who's to say he doesnt make seals in the workshop

[smoky nebula]

Darn environmental storytelling

[fiery burrow]

He could but idk why silk would be necessary.

[brittle garnet]

Who's to say he didnt use weavers to make the seals

[normal token]

Ye

[warped umbra]

i guess its just heavily implied that he did

[fiery burrow]

When you're making the claim you have to provide evidence

[brittle garnet]

Im just saying that rn silk is the only piece of evidence we have on how seals are created

[warped umbra]

that is true tbh

[fiery burrow]

Silk is how the weavers used soul

PK uses soul without silk shenanigans why would he need it

[warped umbra]

since its the only place we see seals being explicitly created (i think?)

[brittle garnet]

Well using soul doesnt necessarily translate to making seals

By itself

[warped umbra]

yeah i think soul and seals are definitely different

[tame marten]

Oh so the weavers definitely left after the vessel was sealed
Very helpful information, did not know that

[warped umbra]

i am confused

[fiery burrow]

They are soul glyphs

[shell yacht]

Avg lore user
Sees silk everywhere
Knows it can be used as a medium
Claims PK basically didn't use it for anything, not even the seal we see the weavers make with silk

[normal token]

Midwife also says this while Weaversong is equipped
"Amazing things the weavers once crafted on their looms; stories, shields, spells"

[fiery burrow]

Its about as helpful as saying using essence doesn't translate to making essence seals like sure ig, doesn't really matter

[tame marten]

Seems pretty undeniable that silk is at least A Way of creating seals

[brittle garnet]

U gotta stop using made-up fanon names for stuff

[shell yacht]

This conversation is being steered by a bias that the pale King had unparalleled mastery over soul and could do whatever the fuck he wanted with it, so by that logic he would never use silk despite the clear uses of it that are shown

[fiery burrow]

Uh huh

[livid tree]

hellouzz gng 🥀 🥀 🥀

[warped umbra]

idk man im not even a lore fanatic i just enjoy talking about lore

[fiery burrow]

You do realize the seal in Weaver's Den isn't doing anything right

[shell yacht]

[livid tree]

wheres my hello back

[brittle garnet]

Its unfinished clearly

[fiery burrow]

It might be a blueprint or it could be a crude imitation either way its irrelevant

[warped umbra]

hello

[livid tree]

is my mic on

[brittle garnet]

But also its interesting to ask why its there in there first place

[livid tree]

thank you gng 🌹 🌹 🌹

[shell yacht]

Yeah he just asked them for a rough draft that's all, no reason at all why it exists other than that

[tame marten]

That’s really funny to call it irrelevant

[warped umbra]

but why would it be entirely irrelevant, its there

[fiery burrow]

Because it isn't functional

[warped umbra]

because its unfinished?

[fiery burrow]

It in no way proves that silk is required to make seals

[tame marten]

When it’s clearly put there for a reason 😭
Even if it doesn’t do anything it’s still proof the weavers were involved in the sealing of the Vessel somehow

[brittle garnet]

Theres something weird about trying to find the least impactful most fence sitting conclusion about everything in lore

[fiery burrow]

That's not what I'm doing

[brittle garnet]

A scientific approach to something that isnt science

[fiery burrow]

I'm also not saying its meaningless it just doesn't mean what you think it means

[tame marten]

It’s fucking glowing

[fiery burrow]

Its irrelevant to this specific conversation

[brittle garnet]

Well i mean you can say that

[shell yacht]

Here's a crackhead theory for the Weaver den seal, it actually was part of the original seal. They tore it up on their way out to fuck up the kingdom even more because one of the weavers is evil

[fiery burrow]

Ooh yeah you got me there. It does glow

mb gang

[tame marten]

Has it ever been outright confirmed that the Weavers are an actual force for good?

[brittle garnet]

Its true that there is evidence to suggest not all seals need silk, like the grimm troupe map

[warped umbra]

this lore analysis is very confusingly goofy, as in its making me feel like everything in HK is meaningless

[shell yacht]

They were a large part of the progression of the kingdoms "technology" and they were some of the smartest bugs around, nothing about their alignment besides that they were with the spider tribe

[warped umbra]

my thoughts is:

• Not all seals need silk
• Silk is probably one of the ways to make seals

[fiery burrow]

Yes

[brittle garnet]

But also, the weavers den seal implies that PK used the weavers' help to create the black egg

[fiery burrow]

How

[brittle garnet]

Well why else would it be there

[fiery burrow]

We don't know

[tame marten]

Yeah I don’t think there’s any other reading of this that makes any sense whatsoever

[shell yacht]

Silk is a medium, crystals could be a medium, hell you could probably pour magic into metal and makes an enchanted door. Was this whole conversation about whether or not silk is inherently magical or something???

[brittle garnet]

It was about if you can just make seals from soul without anything else or if you need silk or other special materials

[shell yacht]

I would say no I think you would need a medium

[warped umbra]

i wonder if maybe song can also be used to make Seals

https://youtu.be/4slUmhFLuFk?t=1343

[shell yacht]

All of the soul spells we see come out as temporary objects

[warped umbra]

cuz of the seals you see appear here when you ring the bell

[fiery burrow]

Maybe PK got the weavers to make the seal of binding after he moved everything into the dream realm

Surely

[brittle garnet]

Or rather I started arguing because Pengu said that PK didnt need silk to make any seals

[tame marten]

Even if the actual seal in the black egg temple isn’t silk it at less demonstrates that silk is A Way of creating seals and the weavers played a role in the creation of the seal

[shell yacht]

That sounds even harder to do without a medium

[tame marten]

Possibly as a schematic or a prototype that was later replicated, idk

[shell yacht]

Like you would have to record the song

And play it on a loop

[warped umbra]

maybe somethign to do with the way the bell is designed rather than being in the song itself

no idea

[brittle garnet]

Anyway the seal being unfinished in the weavers den is very interesting

[shell yacht]

Like you yell a curse into a tin can on a string but by the time it reaches the other end it's gone, so how do you turn that into a long-term thing

[warped umbra]

maybe by incripting the seal onto the bell in some way

no idea man im just saying random shit at this point that could be as true as literally anything anyone else says

[tame marten]

https://tenor.com/view/seal-clap-gif-3825042206276800481

[warped umbra]

is seal discussion the new tools discussion

[tame marten]

The trusty seal that appears when you ring a bell:

I’ve never been present for tools discussions

Do people think the orange bottle thingy is a bomb because I think it’s fanta that Hornet can drink to increase her damage

[coral prawn]

Lets talk about benchs

[fiery burrow]

That's doable

[normal token]

The most common I've seen is that it could maybe something like ice resistance?

[tame marten]

Huh

Ice?

[fiery burrow]

nonononononono please don't add hot/cold drinks to SS

[tame marten]

Does ice show up anywhere in Silksong teasers

[coral prawn]

They should add ice tea in silksong

[tame marten]

Most clips seem to have it in the warmer climates from what I recall

[warped umbra]

i really hope Team Cherry adds a hunger and thirst mechanic to Silkssong, requiring Hornet to eat a healthy amount of food and drink a healthy amount of water as a good message and reminder to players to eat water and drink food

[normal token]

(Ignore Mario)
Seems like there's some type of effect applied at the corners of the screen

[fiery burrow]

My headcanon is that Hornet eats like Spearmaster from Rain World

Siphon soul from her enemies with her needle

[tame marten]

I knew about this, doesn’t seem like ice to me tho

[warped umbra]

how could you tell me to ignore Mario

[smoky nebula]

Kinda feels like loose webs

[shell yacht]

Why have I seen like 17 different theories about what this area is when it's clearly a dead coral bed

[strange gulch]

make it so there is nutrient defficiency in Silksong. So if Hornet doesn't eat enough oranges/cherries, she gets scurvy, not enough calcium, she takes doube damage from everything because of weak bones ect

[smoky nebula]

This implies you have eyes

[warped umbra]

now thats what i call a well designed game

[shell yacht]

What

[smoky nebula]

You're an internet person you don't exist outside of the screen why would you have eyes

[warped umbra]

eat it

[shell yacht]

Ew no

[frozen frigate]

i thought this was that deer guy from onepiece

[cunning geode]

nice cat

[warped umbra]

good protien

[strange gulch]

BALDUR?!?!?!

[shell yacht]

Also that was days ago, it's storming its ass off right now

[shell yacht]

Just like the hidden gem Hollow Knight?

[viscid wind]

i thought it was a grenade for a second

[fiery burrow]

no way is that a 4 leaf clover?

[shell yacht]

??????

[smoky nebula]

Small explosive

[normal token]

I didn't know real life took so much inspiration from Hollow Knight

[brittle garnet]

It looks a lot like mold too

[normal token]

Team Cherry should at least be credited though

[warped umbra]

what will you name them

[strange gulch]

yes, just like the hit Australian Indie title Hollow Knight

[viscid wind]

no its actually a 57 leaf clover

[shell yacht]

[tame marten]

I hate this so much btw
It’s so gross to imagine sliding down a huge mass of mold

[fiery burrow]

hot take 57s are overrated

There are far more reds I'd rather get

[strange gulch]

btw, will the mods announce to the entire server if Silksong gets released?

[warped umbra]

nah they would just stay quiet about it

[normal token]

No they'll gaslight everyone to thinking it isn't

[smoky nebula]

Red 40

[warped umbra]

who would be interested in knowing its released?

[shell yacht]

Put your eyes back on grandpa

[frozen frigate]

i lived through the war.

[warped umbra]

same but actually, unless you mean actually as well

[smoky nebula]

Did you walk uphill to school both ways‽

[warped umbra]

i moved to Aus cuz of war actually

[sage glade]

snack

[tame marten]

At any rate this definitely isn’t ice

[warped umbra]

its dandruff

[smoky nebula]

Why does pharloom have so much coral was it previously underwater

[tame marten]

Coral Gorge is one of my favorite looking areas I think

It’s so pretty

[unkempt pawn]

i read coral george

[brittle garnet]

I think the majority of the hollow knight world probably used to be underwater at some point

[tame marten]

Except that one shot of the chase from the reveal trailer I think that room was unfinished lmfao

[warped umbra]

whcih one?

[smoky nebula]

Did you flood the world

[tame marten]

With the steel dude shooting lasers at Hornet

[normal token]

I love this shot

[warped umbra]

ah yeah i dont think theyre even meant to be there tho

[fiery burrow]

mfw I'm exploring Coral Gorge and I hear this noise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuD5milggVE

[warped umbra]

i just realised, we havent actually seen any enemies for the coral gorge yet?

[tame marten]

Really excited for this yeah

[warped umbra]

i think the steel assasins were just there as placeholders

[tame marten]

None that I can think of?

[shell yacht]

I would hunt that thing down just for trying to bust my eardrums

[smoky nebula]

Haven't we seen the boss guy‽

[tame marten]

I find this unlikely tho

[normal token]

Other than the steel assassin and coral king boss, maybe this

[cunning geode]

irl walking in the park and you hear this

[tame marten]

We’ve seen bosses but no north enemies

[fiery burrow]

❌

[warped umbra]

ah well there u go

[fiery burrow]

I blame my internet

[tame marten]

Oh I love him

[warped umbra]

how come?

[tame marten]

I mean just what makes you think that it is

[warped umbra]

cuz one of the characters has the same sprite shape as the sharpe Trio

[normal token]

They're assassins so I find it reasonable to be in places you don't expect

[warped umbra]

but idk

[normal token]

They're on that SA-X type shit

[tame marten]

Yeah ? You meet the guy there what’s not to get

[warped umbra]

that could be true too

[lethal garden]

Anyone here play D&D? Or other TTRPGs? Interested in trying a hollow knight one?

[calm thorn]

I don't understand maps placing coral forest and the barnacle area separated

[warped umbra]

idk bro, they jsut seem mildly out of place to me ig? but i dont know any of the context or anything

[tame marten]

It’s steel so it’s probably impervious to needle strikes

[lethal garden]

Neither

[warped umbra]

i know just about as much as the next joe

[lethal garden]

Seems strange

[shell yacht]

The whole map could have been previously underwater so having underwater themed areas be spread out would help this idea

[tame marten]

Ergo probably not a conventional bossfight

[warped umbra]

im confused about the fishies you see in coral gorge, are they flying??

[normal token]

"Sharpe is a hunter from a distant land. He’s tasked with eliminating Hornet and he’s not come alone. Sharpe brings companions on his deadly quest. Who are they?"

[warped umbra]

ah i see

[cunning geode]

her NAME is barnacle BAY

[brittle garnet]

Could probably separate them via the clover area as that one also has an aquatic theme, so its like clover in the middle, barnacles below and coral above

[tame marten]

Personally My money is on it being a transitionary region between Greymoor and the Gorge

[brittle garnet]

Having a town probably makes it its own area tbh

[warped umbra]

this is probably a slow as fuck take but i just realised the laser thingies are possibly just part of the main big thingy

[brittle garnet]

Or at least a big sub-area

[tame marten]

Yea

[tame marten]

Almost certainly

[warped umbra]

idk why i posted a screnshot but i guess its nice to look at lol

[tame marten]

Also this room was 100% unfinished I feel like, the background is super duper empty

[normal token]

On some Dragapult

[neon adder]

I love Hollow Knight’s Golemancy
The Vessels, Mining Robots, Kingsmoulds, Steel Assassins, all bangers

[warped umbra]

yeah it does loo k a bit like that

you have some clues as to where Coral Gorge is based on this i feel

[normal token]

It's also def related to steel soul jinn, wonder if we'll get more of an explanation to whose Jinn's masters are

[warped umbra]

idk if we've seen another area with those kinds of shapes tho

[tame marten]

Honestly I have no idea where coral gorge is in progression, it’s such a black sheep of a region

[warped umbra]

nvm i think i found the same background elements here??

[tame marten]

They’re saving that for the final boss of hollow Knight 3

[warped umbra]

so maybe its somewhere near Deep Docks

but idk how much that checks out tbh

[compact night]

Guys honest question

[neon adder]

They’re in the Moss Grotto too

[tame marten]

I’m guessing it’s the furthest east of the map and near the bottom, but blocked off to being later in the game

[compact night]

What hollow knight boss has the coolest entrance?

[tame marten]

It is a gorge after all

[warped umbra]

so maybe both?? idfk

[tame marten]

There’s only one correct answer here and we all know it

[warped umbra]

or its just a common cbacgkround element

[neon adder]

Broken Vessel/Lost Kin is pretty cool
I like Kingdom’s Edge Hornet too

[compact night]

Honestly you might be surprised but Mine is Nosk

[tame marten]

This is literally the coldest take it is possible to have

[neon adder]

I love Nosk but they give me the heebiejeebs

[jaunty fjord]

Hmm
Soul master !

[compact night]

Idk there’s something super creepy about seeing another you when you know the game isnt multiplayer

[tame marten]

Anyway

[neon adder]

Multiplayer hollow knight would go hard

Official multiplayer I mean
I know there are mods for that

[compact night]

Oh it would for sure

[warped umbra]

i find it cool that the placement of some areas has been figured out somewhat possibly accurately

[tame marten]

Coral Gorge is accessed by the falling elevator in the Xbox trailer so it’s lower down in pharloom but later in the game than the other lower regions, that’s my hot take

[patent heath]

Bro got them moves.

[compact night]

look at em go

But what does this even mean??

[tame marten]

And the screenshot from the Nintendo articles is Hornet making her way back up after she fell

[cunning geode]

haunted mineraft world

[compact night]

Honestly remove the cat and just keep the smile it would be pretty spooky

[cunning geode]

too late

[compact night]

Also I have something to ask again

Since we’re all hollow knight fans if someone wanted to make a hollow knight horror game what do you guys think they should put into the game that would fit?

[rugged ice]

Nosk

[compact night]

Well yea but anything else?

[rugged ice]

Darkness, loud ass ost and nosk

[tame marten]

Why are you bringing this up in the Silksong channel

[compact night]

….

Is that not allowed..?

[rugged ice]

Where skong? Tell me

[compact night]

Silk song and hollow knight are in the same boat aren’t day?

[tame marten]

I mean it kind of disrupted an actual conversation we were having

[cunning geode]

not really

[compact night]

No offense but uh what conversation? It kinda just ended abruptly

Nobody said anything for some reason

[rugged ice]

What? About how hornet remove her poncho in a single frame on the leaked sprites?

[patent heath]

Collector.

[rugged ice]

Theres nothing much to discuss about silksong until the game releases tho. Hot take

[patent heath]

Probably the only thing in the entire game that actually scared me.

[compact night]

That’s actually a good one but what about leg eater? They have some potential right?

[south vigil]

y’all i did p5 but don’t have the steam achievement help

[patent heath]

I mean, he sells stuff and just talks weirdly.

[rugged ice]

[normal token]

Did you let the entire ending play out? I forgot the exact moment you get the achievment

[south vigil]

[subtle lynx]

The only thing that scared me was jiji

[glossy berry]

[subtle lynx]

[patent heath]

Why did she scare you?

[south vigil]

[rugged ice]

Lol

[oblique musk]

Just do it again

[subtle lynx]

The first time you meet her she jumps out of nowhere

[compact night]

I really just love how this half of the chat sometimes is just “guys we new to to talk professionally and on topic” and then the other half is just like goofy and shit lol

[rugged ice]

You could rejoin the game? Ig

[south vigil]

[patent heath]

Idk, I never found that scary.

[south vigil]

[rugged ice]

[rugged ice]

Steel soul is actually easy

[jaunty fjord]

[south vigil]

[compact night]

Absolutely

I literally had to close the game when I first fought the radiance

[exotic estuary]
