[primal horizon]

ahh I see

Sorry I didn’t click on it, I didn’t know

Well I should’ve known but yah

[marsh ibex]

I think they talk about the deltarune in deltarune

[glossy berry]

mhm mhm
i completely fucked up my saves i probably need to restart tbh - meant to save one just before ||board 1 because i didnt get the S|| and overwrote it like an idiot

[marsh ibex]

I wouldn’t know tho

[glossy berry]

its so good though

[trim estuary]

No that’s UNDERTALE

[lone crown]

How’s deltarune for yall (i prolly wont play the chapters anytime soon)

[marsh ibex]

sory

[coarse leaf]

I'm deltaruning it

[trim estuary]

peam…

[normal token]

Deltarune chapter 3 spoilers > ||God I heard about the board 1 S rank nightmares AFTER I finished the chapter, no idea if I'll bother but we'll see lol||

[atomic sparrow]

they talk about the legend of the deltarune

[atomic sparrow]

in deltarune that is

[glossy berry]

its clearly pretty important which is kinda annoying ||given i got an A and then S T-T||
ill get to it later

[heady iron]

discussion about deltarune in #sk-discussion ? EEYIKES!! I better "delta" out of this "room"!

[trim estuary]

Real!

[marsh ibex]

bah bah bah bah bah bah

[atomic sparrow]

🐑 ?

[polar stag]

Deltarune Question ||Does anything interesting happen in regards to Berdly or any other character after the Snowgrave route?||

[cyan forum]

||oh hello Necrozma, long time no see||

[opaque sigil]

@lone crown is fire giant the bad one

[lone crown]

Yeah i dont like his ass personally

[opaque sigil]

wasn't too tough

[lone crown]

Good thing you killed him quickly

[opaque sigil]

but ig the amount of explosions could maybe be a bit much

[lone crown]

The terrain makes a lot of his stuff jank

[opaque sigil]

[lone crown]

One time he did his flame breath for phase 2 where you use torrent typically, and ten seconds after the attack ended i randomly die from flames that came from behind me and when i turned around i saw that the flames made a perfect U shape on the ground with burns because it bounced on terrain and hit me like a 180 degree sentient flame

[opaque sigil]

probably would've been rougher without the cometshards to hit the weak points consistently

[sharp agate]

My dog eats a big meal, cries to go out to poop, and comes back inside to immediately eat again

[shell stream]

yeah sometimes he can bug out and do one of the rolls in the second phase

[opaque sigil]

was he not supposed to do that

[shell stream]

and then bc of the terrain he can just... roll onto you

[lone crown]

No he’s supposed to roll in phase 2

[shell stream]

and when that happens it's 100% undodgeable

he's not supposed to roll into the player but he can get stuck on map geometry

[lone crown]

Unless you mean the first phase animation

[lone crown]

Like this is a cartoon situation

[loud badge]

Silksong friday

[shell stream]

and yeah the classic "fire attacks suck" in elden ring

it's not quite as bad as borealis's shit at least

[loud badge]

Elden ring sucks?
True

[opaque sigil]

borealis is that random ass ice dragon right

[shell stream]

yeah and for whatever reason his fire breath particles move extra fast

so the already really hard to dodge fire projectiles become even harder

[weary tapir]

https://x.com/tobyfox/status/1930322392792084813?s=46&t=U8B0-0qHt_21QWlNI4sP_w

[shell stream]

and if they deflect off a rock you're just kinda screwed

[loud badge]

W demo out

[lone crown]

I think decaying ekzykes is a contender for worst wyvern dragon in ER

[weary tapir]

PFFFT

[shell stream]

borealis is wayyy worse

just, less of a difficulty spike relative to the area

[lone crown]

Borealis has the frosty yell AoE

[shell stream]

and multiple basically undodgeable ice breath attacks

[lone crown]

Yeah, also the same dragon you fight in nightreign mountaintops

[opaque sigil]

free comet azurs

[shell stream]

no other dragon has breath attacks with that much projectile speed

[lone crown]

I dont recall its ice breath speed cause idk i forgor

[shell stream]

ekyzykes is kinda just a regular dragon but he has a lot of hp and damage for where you find him

if he was in dragonbarrow with the same stat line I think there'd be far fewer complaints

bc like, he has more hp and damage than the flying dragon you find in dragonbarrow lmao

[loud badge]

Fromsoft make a good dragon boss or never update bloodborne

[shell stream]

placidusax was fun

and I hear bayle was fun too but I didn't get the DLC

[loud badge]

Bayle better ngl but camera was abysmal

[shell stream]

what's new

[loud badge]

The camera got worse in the dlc somehow

[opaque sigil]

caligo is fun

[heady iron]

Decaying ekyzykes is peak dragon

[opaque sigil]

who decided that that was the right spot for the ancient dragon

[still elm]

[merry bridge]

hey guys how was the playstation event

[zinc pier]

no silksong but some other very cool things depending on who you are

a new marvel fighting game by arc system works which I am very excited for personally

a new silent hill game

multiple new titles that had cool visual styles

[fiery burrow]

Nioh 3

Hirogami looked cool

[zinc pier]

never heard of it but I saw other poeple excited so it's probably cool

[fiery burrow]

So did Cairn

[zinc pier]

the one about the future guys looked cool too

[fiery burrow]

Not sure which one you're talking about I stopped watching halfway through

[zinc pier]

it was in the first half

[harsh yarrow]

Absolutely nothing good.

[zinc pier]

oh wait it just barely wasn't

[harsh yarrow]

maybe 2 interesting things
But it was nothing cool

[zinc pier]

Tides of tomrrow was the game I was talking about

[fiery burrow]

Ohh that was cool

[zinc pier]

I'm not gonna lie this is the best game show I've seen in a while

[fiery burrow]

Don't slander Hirogami

[zinc pier]

the only thing I don't like is that many of these are probably playstation exclusives

outside of that though like 70% of the games looked like something that'd be interesting to play

and Marvel Tokon is such an amazing anouncement I'm so excited for it

[harsh yarrow]

The first two games they showed off though where weird

[zinc pier]

weird isn't bad. I like weird. the first 2 in specific were cool weird

[harsh yarrow]

tetris on shrooms
And a game that didnt even run well on the hardware the games were likely designed for

Multiple games were like that, even

[zinc pier]

how do you know that of a game that's not released yet

[harsh yarrow]

Noticably laggy

[zinc pier]

I don;t see it

and even then these are builds from a year before the game is meant to release

and even then if they are laggy that doesn't change the fact that they look cool

just liek with silksong the best we can do is hopium

Romeo is a dead man looks like it could be really cool

[crude dragon]

Is silk song out? The deltarune chapter 3 (and i think 4) are out.

[still elm]

yeah dude

silksong's been out for a couple months now

[zinc pier]

brother this chat would be screaming for the next 50 years if silksong had released

[still elm]

we're all a bit burnt out on it hence the quiet chat

[zinc pier]

if silksong came out most people would hear about it very quickly

[harsh yarrow]

Its just silly to see a game that doesnt look all that graphically intensive running at some 30 FPS

[zinc pier]

I really don't notice the 30 frames a second

[harsh yarrow]

Even if its a year off release

[zinc pier]

like I genuinely don't know what you mean. it looks perfectly fine to me

[stoic sigil]

New chapters were pretty damn good

[zinc pier]

and either way optimization is something that's typically done later

they still hve lots of time. right now it's important to praise it for how cool it looks as apposed to hate it for performance you can't even confirm

[zinc pier]

how long were they combined?

[stoic sigil]

Long enough

[opaque sigil]

consider: liking things is lame

[final lichen]

I'm playing through chapter 2

[normal token]

According to steam my playtime is 6 hours and I'm at the end of ch 4

[stoic sigil]

||Chapter 3 Secret Boss was fucking insane||

[sharp agate]

God can we have picture perms again

[zinc pier]

you're so right. I can't believe I forgot having positive opinions is dumb and stupid

[final lichen]

Don't spoil me but ||is it peak||

[normal token]

||yes||

[stoic sigil]

Yes

[still elm]

in just 2 days silksong's release will be back in plausibility

[final lichen]

Let's hope so

[zinc pier]

hmm I wanna play deltarune myself before I see spoilers but I don't care enough to buy it soon when I have other priorities . . .

conundrum

[opaque sigil]

I mean it's not like there's any risk of ending spoilers for a good while

[zinc pier]

^

there are likely a lot of people who grinded out the whole game to post videos

[harsh yarrow]

I watched a friend play a bit of deltarune earlier

[opaque sigil]

sure but that's out of like seven or something

[harsh yarrow]

I think it was the first chapter or so
Looked interesting, but its not my kind of game

[zinc pier]

out of 7 what?

[opaque sigil]

chapters

[zinc pier]

there's only 4 released right now

[opaque sigil]

yeah

[zinc pier]

I- I can not want to be spoiled for the 2 new chapters

it's not just the very final ending boss that I care about

[opaque sigil]

sure

[stoic sigil]

Kris gets the infinity stones

[silver oak]

We’re not gonna put in official rules for spoilers or anything

Not our game

[atomic sparrow]

Kris gets the three dreamers

[silver oak]

tag if you want to or if someone wants you to

[zinc pier]

darth vader was kris' father the whole time

[silver oak]

L

I didn’t mean to send that

[opaque sigil]

snape sends dumbledore to conversion therapy idk I wanted to make a joke about rowling being a monster but it didn't work out

[silver oak]

Darth Vader is Kylo Ren

[stoic sigil]

Obi Wan is Luke's Father

[zinc pier]

which wan?

[stoic sigil]

The obi wan

[zinc pier]

I had assumed obi tue

[silver oak]

We slowed down on the stickers

[cunning geode]

i value the honesty

[zinc pier]

is stickers why 10 second slowmode

[silver oak]

Yeah

[zinc pier]

damn

[silver oak]

That’ll probably be on all week, until the events are over

[fiery burrow]

Waiting for Discord to add an option to make stickers not embed 🙏

[normal token]

How was the chat during State of Play I was playing deltarune instead lol

[silver oak]

And if we do get shit it’ll be on for longer

[fiery burrow]

The usual

[stoic sigil]

So who genuinely thinks we get Silksong in June

[zinc pier]

June 5th will be the calm before the storm

[fiery burrow]

But without the arguments afterwards

[stoic sigil]

I'm actually kinda optimistic

[silver oak]

Would be nice to put them with messages

[zinc pier]

I think it's possible. idk how likely it is though

[silver oak]

Really

Cuz there’s more events?

[fiery burrow]

We might've already had the last communication argument

With us getting news and all

[silver oak]

Never say last

[normal token]

The communications argument gonna end as soon as the game releases

[silver oak]

You’ll be hearing it after release

some assholes aren’t gonna let it go you just know

[zinc pier]

lots of cool looking games

new marvel fighting game that looks really cool, new silent hill game, and lots of new IP's that at the very least have interesting visual styles

[fiery burrow]

Yeah once we get the "The game didn't live up to the wait" crowd

[silver oak]

Give it a month

And that’s generous

[zinc pier]

5 minutes after release "hey guys, just beat the final boss. Game definitely didn't live up to wait"

[fiery burrow]

Anyway don't sleep on the Cairn demo this game is gorgeous

[silver oak]

What do y’all know about weyes blood

[zinc pier]

oh its on steam

[fiery burrow]

I'd post an image if we didn't live in George Orwell's 1984

[zinc pier]

as a climber I'm very interested how it'll put climbing in a video game

[fiery burrow]

Celeste if she was a real mountain climber

[silver oak]

me when silksong

[fiery burrow]

Move limbs around then click to place em basically

Fairly intuitive I feel, its fun

[zinc pier]

that sounds like it'd be a rage game

[normal token]

Count me in
billion - 2

[zinc pier]

I'll actually go play the demo before I make that assumptiont hough

[zinc pier]

Count me in
billion - 5 (I would play it 3 times)

[silver oak]

pichu and I are gonna boycott silksong for no reason

[fiery burrow]

It might get fairly tough I haven't finished the demo

[zinc pier]

3GB demo???? how long is it???

[fiery burrow]

[zinc pier]

controller or keyboard?

[normal token]

Not boycotting cuz I think their communication is "disrespectful" I just want it to fail

[fiery burrow]

I'm using keyboard

with mouse

[silver oak]

TRUE

[zinc pier]

I'm gonna try controller.

[fiery burrow]

[zinc pier]

oh the first thing you see when you open the game is controller recommended lmao

[fiery burrow]

oh really

[sick fog]

do u guys think ss will appear at xbox showcase?

[fiery burrow]

No

[harsh yarrow]

More likely at SGF, IMO

[fiery burrow]

Doubting is free

[shell hare]

I'm choosing not to anticipate anything so that I can be more excited when it shows up

[harsh yarrow]

But I wouldnt be surprised if its at only the Xbox event, or is at both

[zinc pier]

ok first impressions. It's suprisingly accurate to real climbing just off the tutorial so far. The only weird thing is that this girl has to have fucking insane balance and grip strength

[shell hare]

We are silkwinning already

[fiery burrow]

Insane flexibility aswell

[sick fog]

maybe, or even at the rumoured nintendo direct. do u guys atleast believe that its this month

[wet tulip]

either summer game fest or xbox

[sick fog]

sgf is when?

[wet tulip]

friday

[shell hare]

friday

[sick fog]

[normal token]

Check pinned messages for when and links for the events are

[shell hare]

what the hell why are my letters available in Word Chums AOAUEHI

[sick fog]

👍

[zinc pier]

I've never seen an auto-belay like she has though lmao. straight up just brings in a silly little robot to belay her is crazy

[shell hare]

Cant wait for SS soundtrack its gonna be peak

[fiery burrow]

Real instruments...

I'm hoping they get the CoT vocalist back for the credits or something

[shell hare]

Its going to be so hard to not listen to the entire ost before finishing the game since i believe it releases around the same time? gonna spoil myself by listening to "The Song That Plays When You Fight Sherma"

[tribal hamlet]

was there anything on state of play

anything interesting

[harsh yarrow]

no, not really

[zinc pier]

lots of promising things

new silent hill game, new marvel fighting game, lots of new Ip with interesting visual style

[fiery burrow]

I lack the willpower to not listen to the ROR2 DLC OSTs before actually playing them

[zinc pier]

it's not like you'll spoil yourself or anything lmao

[shell hare]

I wonder how I'm going to react to hearing Lace's theme in-game, considering it's been my ringtone and alarm sound for a looong time now
Hopefully I don't feel dread of waking up when I hear it lol

[normal token]

It's probably gonna sound a little different in the final ver too

[mortal bluff]

Can wait to see the release date trailer in 2 days…

[normal token]

or 4 or a lot more

[analog forge]

Hah

Like silksongs trailer is gonna be via ssg

[chilly crane]

bb ah ah ah

[normal token]

It could or it could not

[analog forge]

TC posts a date and nothing else on their website

Final offer

[fiery burrow]

Team Cherry mails a letter to my house with the release date in it

[slate wagon]

i have hope for summer game fest
i haven’t had hope in years

[zinc pier]

nature is healing

war is ending

and silksong waiters are regaining their hope

[lament lotus]

was there anything good in state of play

[oak chasm]

Skong week

[zinc pier]

no silksong but a cool marvel fighting game, a new silent hill game, and some games with cool visual style

[normal token]

For the first time in like 3 years, I properly believe

[lament lotus]

awesome thanks

[fiery burrow]

Nioh 3, Cairn, Hirogami, Tides of Tomorrow

[oak chasm]

The power of silksong

[zinc pier]

cairn hasn't even released yet and I've already seen a ton of polish from it

[normal token]

I was completely fine ignoring Silksong from the delay but then april 2nd hit

Crazy that its already been 2 months tho

[oak chasm]

Wait wha

[fiery burrow]

The deltarune hype is starting to strike me

[zinc pier]

I remember when I first opened silksong 2 months ago

[fiery burrow]

Bit of a delayed reaction

[normal token]

Well it is on steam available to buy

[oak chasm]

Your name reminds me of Markoth

[zinc pier]

you're not gonna believe what my profile picture is

[fiery burrow]

You guys ever contemplated Markoth's lack of antennae

[zinc pier]

but now that I look at it yeah the moth pfp with the name staring with M is pretty Markoth lmao

[flint dust]

just come out ss

[sharp agate]

Metal gear solid is bussing

[velvet sentinel]

🏳️‍🌈

[fiery burrow]

True..

[viscid umbra]

No skong news today

[normal token]

Go back to your sleep and wake up on 6th june

[zinc pier]

I came in hoping for silksong but somehow I found something even better in marvel tokon

[final lichen]

🥀

[west gale]

top 10 lies in June 2025

[white sail]

Set discord slowmode to 5 on #sk-discussion.

[full rune]

[west gale]

lol somebody got triggered

[opaque sigil]

homophobes are very fragile

[young saffron]

???? the fuck, i just enterd my shop and my gun flew off my hand

[leaden kiln]

That one french girl with the spoon:

[west gale]

Gungeon?

[zinc pier]

I mean I assume people here would disagree but I’m as excited for this game as I would be if silksong release date was announced

Simply my opinion

[young saffron]

yes

[west gale]

truly silksong related

[opaque vector]

the silk on my guitar came off can anyone help me? i have a really important song i have to play in about a week

[fiery burrow]

Guitars use silk?

I don't think that sounds right

[zinc pier]

guitars use silk and silks use guitar

that's just how it is

[sick plank]

deltarune toda

[opaque sigil]

@lone crown I actually kinda enjoyed elden beast

[lone crown]

Bro

Last i checked you killed fire giant wdym you beat elden beast

[opaque sigil]

there's not that much between those

[trim estuary]

Killing fire giant isn’t far from Elden Beast

[lone crown]

Im one of the only humans to enjoys fighting elden beast

[opaque sigil]

the fight clicked a bit more when I realized you could summon torrent there

[lone crown]

You didnt talk about godskin duo, maliketh, gideon, or godfrey so i was shocked

[lone crown]

This wasnt always a thing actually

They patched that in after the dlc dropped

[trim estuary]

Yeah well Godskin Duo isn’t anything notable so

[opaque sigil]

Most of those were kinda just there

Maliketh was cool

[lone crown]

Wait so what’s your remembrance collection looking like

[opaque sigil]

It’s in a cutscene give me a sec

[lone crown]

Ah

[trim estuary]

Send Tammy to Farum Azula secret boss imo

[opaque sigil]

Idk if this is the ending feels like it might be

[opaque sigil]

Is that placidusax because I’ve developed a habit of jumping down wherever I can

[trim estuary]

Yes

[lone crown]

Did you find placidusax on complete accident

[opaque sigil]

I guess you could call it that

[lone crown]

How even

[trim estuary]

Go find the DLC now

If you haven’t already

[opaque sigil]

no idea where to even look for that

[lone crown]

Uhhh after cutscene or whatever show me your remembrances

Just to gauge an idea instead of asking “oh did you kill x and y and z”

[fossil pawn]

im getting the switch 2 midnight drop

[trim estuary]

Have you seen Varre lately

[opaque sigil]

who

[lone crown]

Zip did they ever make that quest function for offline

[trim estuary]

Oh

[lone crown]

The guy at the very start of the game who calls you bitchless

[trim estuary]

Uhhhhmmmmm I don’t know

[umbral ether]

varre?

[lone crown]

Rennala and maliketh are included here as well

Meaning youve killed 10 if im correct

[opaque sigil]

yeah

idk why I got the maliketh sword I can't use it but it looked cool

[lone crown]

You said you weren’t interested in deer so i’ll ignore that, another remembrance boss you could kill is in the area west of Altus Plateau

There’s a remembrance boss tucked away past a convoluted questline

I bet you havent even found that area yet

[trim estuary]

togethaa?

[opaque sigil]

I haven't been exploring that much

[lone crown]

Not gonna lie tammo three of the five remembrances you missed will be piss easy

[trim estuary]

Me neither I haven’t found a single lost gestral

[lone crown]

Cause you’re past the point they’re scaled at

[opaque sigil]

I assume one of them's teh rykard guy I've heard about

[lone crown]

Yeah rykard

Volcano manor

Then the deer which you know of

[opaque sigil]

I've been to volcano manor didn't seem like there was much there

[lone crown]

Then a mystery one behind a questline

[trim estuary]

Does he know?

[lone crown]

Did you kill the godskin there

[opaque sigil]

no

[lone crown]

Ah

[merry bridge]

man it was so hot today

21c

[opaque sigil]

I also have half a halig something medallion

[lone crown]

Alternatively instead of clearing the volcano manor area you can do the volcano manor questlines and then you can be teleported to rykard’s boss fight

[opaque sigil]

that's gotta be something

[lone crown]

Want a hint for the other half?

[opaque sigil]

sure

I already joined the manor so idk if I can clear it

[lone crown]

Bottom left liurnia, NOT the moonlight place, but ground-level

[lone crown]

Yeah you can im pretty sure

[opaque sigil]

ig I'll poke around in liurnia, it does seem like there's probably something with the albinaurics there that i've never encountered

funny little guys

oh varre is in liurnia

[lone crown]

Oh yeah true

He’s also important for you

[opaque sigil]

is the whole map just gonna be coated in embers forever now

[lone crown]

Unfortunately

[opaque sigil]

I guess I did burn yggdrasil

[lone crown]

Fun and games til gladius jumps you in capital of ash

[opaque sigil]

honestly gladius still has probably given me the most trouble out of all bosses between nightreign and base er

well godfrey killed me a bunch

[lone crown]

Godfrey is awesome

[opaque sigil]

I don't think I can do the varre quest

[lone crown]

I wonder if they ever made it doable without online

Let me check

[opaque sigil]

unless using those fingers isn't part of it they didn't

[lone crown]

I think npc invasions count

Like uhhh the times you use signs to fight things

[opaque sigil]

I've gotten invaded but never used a sign to do it

[lone crown]

Wait i figured it iut

There’s a red sign you can find in writheblood ruins, altus plateau

Killing him replaces the pvp step

[lone crown]

I think you can kill him or lose to him like 3 times to make it work

[opaque sigil]

noted

what important thing does varre have btw

[trim estuary]

Join My Dynasty!

[opaque sigil]

oh elden beast gave a ton of runes

[lone crown]

The path to a remembrance boss

[opaque sigil]

I see

[lone crown]

An important one

My ass found it so early on my blind run I was like oh hell no why am i even here

[opaque sigil]

I'll do varre next, right now I'm apparently on my way to a haligtree whatever that is

[trim estuary]

Good luck!!

[opaque sigil]

concerning

oh god the fucking fog

[lone crown]

Fissure…

[opaque sigil]

surely she's here waiting to blast me

[lone crown]

Honestly there’s so many good spots for a mod to integrate nightlords in basegame

[trim estuary]

Why on earth would you want Fissure in the Fog there

[lone crown]

Practical? No

[opaque sigil]

borealis generating fog made me actually think it was happening for a split second before I realized that was nonsense and impossible

[lone crown]

Thematically? Yes

[tidal ruin]

Skong tomorrow

[lone crown]

Im so mad they cooked too hard with Libra

Why didnt it exist in ER

There is a super underbaked DLC area where he’d work so perfectly too

[harsh yarrow]

skong tomorrows tomorrow*

[tidal ruin]

No, skong today

The game will release before the last timezone reaches midnight

[harsh yarrow]

no

skong news tomorrows tomorrow

for the next ~2 hours

I'll update ya'll in 2 hours

[novel parrot]

clowns tomorrow

[opaque sigil]

@lone crown should I be using the rune arcs, I honestly don't know how valuable they are

[lone crown]

How many you got

[full rune]

7

[opaque sigil]

10

[lone crown]

Uhh basically they activate an equipped great rune

[opaque sigil]

they seem pretty finite

[lone crown]

Yeah they are

Farmable off rats but very annoying to do

[lone crown]

Godrick’s is kinda crazy

When active godrick’s great rune gives you 5 levels in each stat

You lose great rune effects when you die and you also cant swap between them without activating again

[novel parrot]

Outside of memes, do you think there will be anything related to Sk tomorrow?

[lone crown]

In sgf i believe it

[novel parrot]

I think not

[tidal ruin]

Clowns celebrating

[opaque sigil]

so they're bad for hard bosses which is like the only time you'd use the resources ok

[novel parrot]

I don't think Nintendo would be excited to show off some SK. XD

[umbral ether]

idon't think there is any event tomorrow

[lone crown]

Its like for those moments where “this is the run”

[merry bridge]

does anyone know from the depths

[woeful matrix]

ss yesterday for sure

[lone crown]

Wdym nintendo

[novel parrot]

Tomorrow is the launch of the switch 2 if I remember correctly.

[woeful matrix]

why do you call it sk

[woeful matrix]

yep it is

[lone crown]

Not a gaming event thats just a console dropping

[woeful matrix]

my lil bro getting a switch 2

[shell yacht]

@lone crown I made a June bed with you didn't I? I feel like I'm losing my mind I can't find the messages

[novel parrot]

waos

[lone crown]

If i win nothing happens

[novel parrot]

But I'm sure it will be a good day tomorrow.
There will be surprises, and most likely
ABOUT PRICES

[shell yacht]

Trying to narrow down my messages where I threaten to ban somebody is not easy

Oh good you forgot the other part

[lone crown]

Well i didnt, its just that i was gonna return whatever you were gonna give me if i won anyways

[shell yacht]

You can't return the muted role

Not refundable

[lone crown]

Fuck

[chilly crane]

Whammo

Thats his age

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[umbral ether]

hello andy

[woeful matrix]

omg its andy

[novel parrot]

so will he die when silksong comes out?

[normal token]

Would this be your 3rd ban

[lone crown]

Yeah

[merry bridge]

wait

he had a 2nd ban?

[woeful matrix]

you got banned

[umbral ether]

why were you banned twice

[woeful matrix]

imagine getting banned couldnt be me

[lone crown]

Ban #1: I asked for it quite literally
Ban #2: I said “maggot is hegemol” in lore on top of having an offending track record

[fiery burrow]

How abhorrent

[umbral ether]

alright

[woeful matrix]

why would maggot is hegemol get you banned

[lone crown]

Read the last part

[merry bridge]

wait you could ask to get banned back then?

[lone crown]

I broke the last straw

[merry bridge]

thats not possible to do it anymore is it?

[lone crown]

No not really

[merry bridge]

damn

[woeful matrix]

no i read it but i js dont get what maggot is hegemol means

[grim forge]

Silk?

[umbral ether]

he is calling the maggot in the false knight armour hegemol

[merry bridge]

i cant ask for getting banned thats unfortunate

[lone crown]

The maggot is the hegemol

[woeful matrix]

hm

[merry bridge]

you getting banned for saying maggot is hegemol is kinda funny i gotta say tho

[lone crown]

Do you want to know maggot hegemol lore?

[woeful matrix]

silksong 🔥

[lone crown]

Let me break it down for you

[woeful matrix]

alr im interested

That's like saying if you don't get a billion dollars in your mail the law can execute you. June isn't happening.

[lone crown]

I’m gonna save this message

[final lichen]

Here's an absolutely stupid question
When we say Sk may be revealed June 6th-8th, are we talking also about June 7th or there isn't any live showcase that day ?

[opaque sigil]

maggot hegemol would be fun and plausible if it weren't for the failed champ dialogue and the journal entry

[umbral ether]

[solemn juniper]

So you look back and realise how foolish you were? To acknowledge how much you failed?

[lone crown]

You don’t understand

All the years i’ve been here, even my username stems from failed bets

[umbral ether]

maybe you should stop betting

[lone crown]

🎰

No seriously it’s pretty clear a summer release is happening, June is the truth though

[normal token]

Going all in this week

[lone crown]

June release. I’m right and I know I’m right

[flat remnant]

yeah you're right it released today

[opaque sigil]

is it that bad

[lone crown]

Annoying

The boss there has its own fucking scaling tier, highest in the game besides the DLC

[umbral ether]

it is really fun to invade people there and just snipe them with magic

[solemn juniper]

What does "ss" stand for?

[umbral ether]

[lone crown]

Followed by the area itself ofc

[coarse leaf]

Shut up you're lying

[solemn juniper]

Why is everyone lying? :(

This is the Hollow Knight discord.

[coarse leaf]

Superman said something about this once I think

[solemn juniper]

No mention of Silksong.

[coarse leaf]

"Everyone bad" or something the classic Superman line

[opaque sigil]

I can still two shot things with magic I might be ok

[edgy valve]

silksong

[umbral ether]

yes

[solemn juniper]

That is hornet.

From the hit pop game: Hollow Knight.

Hey guys

[fallow tusk]

and y

[atomic sparrow]

hi

[karmic thorn]

you know that feeling you get when you have 30 minutes left before you clock out of a 10 hour shift

thats how i feel about things rn except i dont know how long the 30 minutes is

[solemn juniper]

Who are you??

[fallow tusk]

Excellent question

I ask myself that often as well

[zinc pier]

do you have an answer yet? not knowing is driving me crazy

no spoilers though just lmk if you have the answer

[polar stag]

What is Frosty Games Fest? I've never heard of it.

[zinc pier]

it's an australian games fest

[gray parcel]

Did any good news come out today?

[zinc pier]

hence it being on topic for silksong

[polar stag]

That makes sense

[zinc pier]

no silksong news. cool games at state of play but nothing silksong related

[umbral ether]

it is also apperently new

[gray parcel]

So silksong hasn’t been canceled? Fuck

[zinc pier]

basically . . .

[polar stag]

SGF being the bigger event makes me think it's the most likely tho

[zinc pier]

I found a mushroom hat in Pokémon infinite fusion

[umbral ether]

what does it do

[zinc pier]

it's a mushroom

and I put it on my head

[trim estuary]

There’s somethin’ fishy about ‘em…

[umbral ether]

neat

[zinc pier]

very

[zinc pier]

just can't quite put my finger on it . . .

[umbral ether]

does it show up on the character sprites

[umbral ether]

that is more neat

[zinc pier]

there's also a bird

they added hats and outfits since the last time I played. it's pretty cool

[fallow tusk]

[zinc pier]

what a 🐟

[fallow tusk]

Indeed yes yes

[zinc pier]

don't say the word yes twice in a row . . . I am scarred . . .

[fallow tusk]

My sincerest apolocheese

[stuck stratus]

so no silksong news, right?

[normal token]

THERE HAS BEEN
YES YES YES YES YES NEWS TO REPORT FOR SILKSONG TODAY

[fallow tusk]

The red skeleton man on YouTube will say this, soon™️...

[trim estuary]

He already said it, and he’s anything but repetitive

[normal token]

Ara will be ascending to the gods when the release date is shown

[fallow tusk]

Or when ss drops in general

[surreal cradle]

Any news since yesterday?

[normal token]

Being fr, no

[stuck stratus]

the steam updates are the recent news, you may have heard of those

[surreal cradle]

You think it’ll drop? You’re too innocent

Please use #hk-help 😁

[zinc pier]

wait, there's a daily silksong news game before silksong itself came out?????????????????

holy hell

[surreal cradle]

Yeah I saw them

Thanks tho

[stuck stratus]

sure

[opaque sigil]

oh

that's what that is

not as bad as I expected got her like half down first attempt

[lone crown]

Yeah

[opaque sigil]

I thought she was meant to be like impossible

it's just the big flurry, I get her half dead without her touching me then she does that

[lone crown]

Tip for waterfowl, for some reason when running away, jumping helps with the initial flurry, the second flurry can be rolled through, third is missed if you rolled the second one at point blank cause she flies over you

Like you jump while running away as soon as the first flurry is approaching you

I dont think i have a video to demonstrate unfortunately

[opaque sigil]

good to know

[sharp agate]

Can someone sing simple and clean?

[opaque sigil]

this seems doable just a lot of damage

glass cannon vs glass cannon ig

[quiet minnow]

So nothing at Sony's state of play?

[young saffron]

Woah?? your that far into elden ring

[lone crown]

The strat i explained you dont have to take a single hit of damage if done right

[stuck stratus]

no afaik

[lone crown]

Takes time to get used to ofc she’s not easy

[stuck stratus]

I wasn't watching it though

[quiet minnow]

Damn

[floral void]

Doin it in my head, banger

[young saffron]

depends, the boss is "easy" but she has one attack that makes hes unfairly difficult the waterfowl move.
if u can do enough dmg before she starts that sequence OR survive the first one and then deal enough dmg to knock her into the second phase itll be easy

[opaque sigil]

I know

she has two phases? I blast her down to half before she does it but nothing happens

[lone crown]

The thing that makes waterfowl “unfair” is the fact it’s very unintuitive to deal with

Like of course there are methods of dealing with it but finding them are not obvious at all and thats a problem when said attack is a run-ender

[opaque sigil]

I'll figure it out

[lone crown]

Yeah

[shell yacht]

Have you tried looking in your back pocket

[opaque sigil]

can't take me as long as gladius

[woeful matrix]

ok

[lone crown]

I blame your teams

[opaque sigil]

perhaps

I was having some trouble with some of his attacks too though

[young saffron]

IM RICH

[woeful matrix]

yall are obsessed with nightrein

[trim estuary]

yea it’s peam

[woeful matrix]

what did you sell

[young saffron]

some csgo gunskin

[zinc pier]

chat is this more a "Pablo de Córdoba" or a "Sinful"

[opaque sigil]

oh if she didn't heal on hit I would've killed her

alright it's serious time staff is going in my right hand

[languid linden]

Are you fighting malenia

Didn’t you get this game like 5 days ago

How many hours do you have

[coarse leaf]

sinful

[zinc pier]

understood

[opaque sigil]

I think I got her shields are strong actually

nvm

[lament lotus]

already??

"i dont like this game" my ass lmao

[coarse leaf]

some player be like "I fucking HATE this game"
*1,000 hours on record

[lament lotus]

steam reviews

[coarse leaf]

me when tboi:

[karmic thorn]

i havent seen the victory screen on this game yet

[young saffron]

HUH how are u already at malenia??

it took me like 50 hours

[young saffron]

what game

[trim estuary]

He’s been playing Nightreign

[young saffron]

yeah but still

[karmic thorn]

factorio

[opaque sigil]

phase 2 take 2

[lament lotus]

how are you at malenia with only 23 hours

[karmic thorn]

nightreign

[lament lotus]

you gotta be lying

THERE ISNT MALENIA IN NIGHTREIGN

or i dont think so idk

[karmic thorn]

maybe theyre just winning every fight :3

[opaque sigil]

idk it doesn't feel like I've been going that fast

sorcery op idk what to say

[lament lotus]

what level are yoj

[opaque sigil]

130

[lament lotus]

what the fuck

youre lying through your teeth

we need to kill you

[opaque sigil]

idk what to say

I've kinda been tearing through bosses malenia is the first to be a big issue

I didn't realize blocking still healed her that sucks guess I'm two handing

[lament lotus]

what sorceries are you using 😭

[opaque sigil]

glintstone cometshard

primarily

[lament lotus]

yeah nah

ive never seen someone tear through the game that fast

i dont think you're going to enjoy the game much at this point

did you look at any guides

like a walkthrough or

[opaque sigil]

I looked up where to find the sword of night and flame

and fool's been giving me some guidance

[lament lotus]

how much guidance

sorry im so bewildered by this

[opaque sigil]

idrk how to quantify it

[lament lotus]

yeah sorry i have to break your neck

you haven't had experience in any other souls game right

[opaque sigil]

I've played a few other soulslikes but none of the souls games specifically

[lament lotus]

ok dang

[livid tree]

what one is your favorite

[cerulean sable]

lobotomy

[cunning geode]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/232587540719206400/1321008734901895228/bartheadtrauma.gif

[opaque sigil]

every time I block she heals so much man wtf

[fallow tusk]

[opaque sigil]

maybe I should use the sword of night and flame

[stuck stratus]

so the currrent working theory is silksong this weekend, right?

[hexed atlas]

theory's more employed than i am, damn

but yeah thats generallyyyy what we're expectinf :] either sgf or the xbox showcase mostly

[sacred stratus]

Don’t block

[opaque sigil]

I know I know

guard counters are just so appealing given how quickly she staggers

[lone crown]

He did mostly everything himself im actually bewildered as well

Like the speed of it all not doing everything yourself ofc

[opaque sigil]

I have been using mimic tear sometimes, not for every boss but for a good chunk of them

[lone crown]

Valid

[cunning geode]

mimic tear is a lotta fun honestly

i managed to save it for the second half of the malenia fight only

[lone crown]

Nah my first run I stunk ass and was a mage and used mimic tear and went for every optional boss and shit

Took me 100 hours

[opaque sigil]

fuck she was ONE GLINTSTONE AWAY

[lone crown]

RIP

[opaque sigil]

it's ok I know what I need to do I need to swap to two handed whenever I'm going into melee

that damage boost should put me over

[cold maple]

waterfowl is shit

[viscid wind]

Good meowning

[quartz cave]

Hello the gays

[lone crown]

Can I beat a solo run as recluse despite having never played her, lets find out

[coral prawn]

Surely

[strong girder]

She’s a boss that punishes a tank playstyle

[opaque sigil]

I think I would have enjoyed that more if she didn't heal every time she hit you or your shield

[lone crown]

Nice job

You move insanely quick

[strong girder]

Beating her for the first time is exhilarating

I kept track of my attempts and I think it took me either exactly 150 or 200 tries

[opaque sigil]

I wasn't counting

I don't think it was that many though

it's weird how aggressive you can be in phase 1 and it rewards you pretty heavily

then phase 2 no

don't do that

mimic tear was definitely helpful I got pretty lucky in phase 1 and she got stunlocked for a good while

the mimic also hit her with the full moon so she went down faster

would not call it a skill victory

[cold maple]

it takes hours without mimic tear

i don’t think it’s worth the headache

[opaque sigil]

yeah I can't imagine

[kindred pewter]

MY LITTLE SILLIES

[cold maple]

when i did it i was just glad it was over

she cheats beyond the waterfowl

[opaque sigil]

If she didn't heal every hit I would've loved the fight

[cold maple]

but it’s still doable, but the waterfowl is atrocious

yeah a criticism is why does she get lifesteal from blocks

they just wanted to make her the hardest for the sake of it

[opaque sigil]

one time I had her do waterfowl three times in a row like why

[opal barn]

On everyone’s soul INCLUDING MINE we getting silk song news tomorrow

[cold maple]

yeah it’s rng simulator

it holds the fight hostage

[opal barn]

Mimic Tear makes it harder cuz she heals off it

[opaque sigil]

on the successful run I don't think she did it once

[cold maple]

it sucks cuz she’s really cool as a concept and i love her design and aesthetic

but her mechanics are terrible

[cold maple]

yeah unless u know the method that breaks the camera so u can dodge the initial one, it’s just rng gamble and u gotta try ur best to work around it

[opaque sigil]

I suspect they were trying to offset for her being interruptible by normal attacks but wow

[cold maple]

she gets random hyperarmor

there’s a whole breakdown of how she breaks the game

[opaque sigil]

why????

[cold maple]

but waterfowl is just the most egregious, the rest is bs but u can work with it

[cold maple]

no idea

she just breaks the mechanics

and plays by her own rules

what sucks is if u notice, a lot of her waterfowls occur RIGHT after u hit her, almost like a counter attack so a lot of times ur cooked cuz ur right there

i tested this theory and had a buncha throwing knives and would keep throwing them at her, and it’d activate waterfowl

[opaque sigil]

surely somebody made a mod to fix it

[lone crown]

There's an accessible way to dodge it that doesn't involve that

It doesnt matter how close you are either

As soon as she does it run away, and for some reason jumping as she starts swinging helps dodge the first flurry

[cold maple]

oh right that too

[lone crown]

But no im not defending the move

Its very unintuitive and therefore bad

Its a win button for the boss and learning what to do isnt obvious

[cold maple]

it’s the most unintuitive move ever

[opaque sigil]

regardles she has nothing on the bears

[lone crown]

At least pre-nerf PCR had attacks with solutions you could find, other than cross slash which is frametrap BS

I shouldnt even call that a nerf it was more like a patch

[languid linden]

How tf

[opaque sigil]

got lucky

[languid linden]

I’m at 90 hours I’ve barely touched malenia

[opaque sigil]

how

[lone crown]

Skill issue

[cold maple]

have u done any bad duo fights

gank fights

[lone crown]

Valiant gargoyles shouldnt exist

[opaque sigil]

I'm dreading that one is bad enough

[lone crown]

Well at least you're above the level recommended to absolutely murder them

So youre fine

[cold maple]

they’re awful

the OTHER duo is pretty bad too

[lone crown]

Especially a high level caster you'll breeze through it

[opaque sigil]

godskin?

that one was rough

[lone crown]

Funny that the one thing people use to beat godskin duo isnt even intended

The godskins have an ability to wake each other up but the AI for it gets fucked up because of the surrounding enemies outside of the arena

Or wake any sleeping enemy up rather

[opaque sigil]

I just used the npc summon and mimic tear that spread out aggro enough

[viscid wind]

my brother wants to buy deltarune and we're family sharing 🙏

[cold maple]

sleep pots solo

i liked dual wielding st trina swords

[opaque sigil]

the dlc is gonna be rough huh

if shit like malenia is in base game

[lament lotus]

you finished the game?

[opaque sigil]

yeah there's not that much in the main questline

[viscid wind]

somehow only 2 of my friends bought deltarune so far

[lament lotus]

maybe if you stopped and smelled the flowers there would be

youre going mach fuck through the game

[opaque sigil]

that might be the nightreign instincts

[lament lotus]

true honestly yeah

[opaque sigil]

also sorceries have let me breeze through most bosses

[lament lotus]

yeah sorcery is a bit unbalancex

compared to str or dex

...or an endurance build

[opaque sigil]

I can't imagine an endurance build being viable generally

[lament lotus]

endurance build is not a real thing but i did it unintentionally

[frosty eagle]

what y'all think of that deltarune ch 3 ending?

[lone crown]

No spoilers

[lament lotus]

dont spoil

[lone crown]

Not the place to discuss

[sinful flare]

sorcery rune tree is pretty funny honestly especially the new axiom arc rune but ive always liked it especially because of bullshit like alacrity and waterwalking

[lament lotus]

yeah whatever you say kaan

[sinful flare]

it still doesnt exactly help karthus dark harvest ultimate hunter and axiom arc rune page because that requires my teammates to get enemy team low on hp

[warped umbra]

me when the

[sinful flare]

one day that rune page will bring ruination to the summoners rift

[opaque sigil]

tbh I'm starting to suspect sword of night and flame might've been the better weapon pick

[lament lotus]

why so grey?

[slender juniper]

Theyre anti pride Month

Deltarune tommorow

[arctic knoll]

Isnt it out already?

[neon trellis]

This is the final boss of silksong btw

[lament lotus]

deltarune yesterday

[opaque sigil]

smelltamid

[arctic knoll]

Deltarune yesterday trust

[viscid wind]

deltarune TOMORROW

[slender juniper]

Chapter 5 tommorow

[viscid wind]

does team cherry work until 4pm

[slender juniper]

They work until 12pm

[viscid wind]

in sane

[arctic knoll]

Are there more chapters for deltarune to come btw?

[slender juniper]

Men bleed.

[viscid wind]

3 more i think

[polar stag]

do you think we'll have to wait as long for chapter 5 and as we did for 3&4?

[arctic knoll]

🤝

[slender juniper]

Nah, itl be out tommorow

[lament lotus]

toby fox really can't recover from this one

[polar stag]

can't believe we're getting delatarune and silksong in the same decade

[lament lotus]

deltarune might not come this decade

[opaque sigil]

man I gotta go back to expedition 33 and kill simon legit he's probably not that much harder than malenia

well

nah his combos are way more bullshit

[lament lotus]

theres no way you're struggling on malenia

[opaque sigil]

I did

[lament lotus]

you didnt struggle on any boss except malenia

[opaque sigil]

took like two hours

[polar stag]

what kind of game is expedition 33? I've only heard of it but dk anything about it. Just that it's really good

[lament lotus]

you beat her?

[opaque sigil]

I had a lucky run where she just didn't really waterfowl

[lament mango]

Tbf she is a bitch. I only learned after the fact thst you can knock her out of her water fowl by tossing a rock or a pot at her while she charges jt

[lament lotus]

i need to see a full uncut video of your whole elden.ring playrhthough

[opaque sigil]

doesn't exist

[lament mango]

Turn based JRPG, very French in art style and story wise, has this neat system where you can dodge enemy attacks by pressing a button timed well, or parry them to deal counter damage

[opaque sigil]

tbf it's mostly just

walk into boss
shoot at boss then die
walk into boss
shoot at boss a bit more and win

[lament mango]

Perosnally? Right now? It's my game of the year. Heresy I know in the year of our lord silksong, but it genuinely is right now

[polar stag]

might have to look into it.

[lament mango]

It's also made by a small AA studio, not some titan like ubisoft or EA

[south vigil]

e33 > silksong

[opaque sigil]

probably

[lament lotus]

HERESY

[lament mango]

Also way cheaper, only 60 dollars Canadian which is like three dollars fifty cents American

[opaque sigil]

I'M USING SORCERIES WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME

[south vigil]

e33 is just better

[polar stag]

I eventually just learned to dodge waterfowl after like 200 attempts and won the fight with like 8 of 12 healing flasks. In other words I got gud.

[lament mango]

me who rolled a magic build until I got the dark moon sword

https://tenor.com/view/yikes-monkey-look-and-leave-gif-14895664

[opaque sigil]

dark moon sword is my melee

[lament mango]

Mah man

[lament lotus]

watch jermas elden ring playthrough for a REAL magic build playthrough

[opaque sigil]

no

and if I do another playthrough it'll be faith and I already know how stupid incantations can get from nightreign

WHAT THE FUCK IS LEARNING A BOSS'S MOVES

[lament mango]

I know people go "OMG magic is so OP comet azur wibble wobble" but legit incantations seem mlre fun

[opaque sigil]

I've actually used them more because my nightreign main is revenant, they're definitely more diverse

[lament mango]

"AH yes I'd like to turn into a DRAGON today. And also just become invincible cuz the boss deals fire damage and I have all these nice anti fire damage soells"

[polar stag]

Honestly the Haligtree and Elphael are my favorite area in elden ring's base game. I haven't done the dlc yet so can't speak to the areas in the shadowlands

[lament mango]

The dlc is amazing

[opaque sigil]

please tell me the dlc isn't harder than malenia

[lament mango]

I did everything EXCEPT the final boss, cuz damn does he twist my dick

[lament mango]

The final boss is two malenias/s

[polar stag]

I'm pretty sure the final boss is substantially harder than malenia

and the rest of the dlc is apparently pretty hard too

[midnight trout]

dlc is like the base game but they somehow they made it even better

[midnight trout]

yes by far

[opaque sigil]

ok but like at large

[lament mango]

Also im excited for the tarnished edition

[lament mango]

Well there's a built in mechanic to mitigate the damage you take, increase damage dealt, and also motivate you to explore

[midnight trout]

melenia took my like 25 att and dlc final boss took me like 150+

[lament mango]

Which btw i love that elden ring went so hard on the exploration element

[opaque sigil]

I love randomly stumbling across hidden portals that turn out to be essential for progression

how the fuck were you supposed to get into the northeast of caelid

[polar stag]

Also tho Elden Ring DLC has some of the coolest bosses from what I've seen. ||Bayle the Dread and Messmer both look really cool||

[lament mango]

Legit my first time entering the dlc i walked forward, stood in awe for like 5 seconds.... and then immediately saw what I assumed to be a walking crematorium and decided to fight it

It.... didn't end well

[lament mango]

Not just visually but even mechanically. I'd out this dlc in the same tier as ringed city

Hell maybe even old hunters

Not the ds1 dlc tho, never got a chance tk play that on the ps3

[lone crown]

There are many tolerable dlc bosses

[lament mango]

Tho I do own ds 1 remastered.... does it come with thr artorias dlc?

[lone crown]

Difficulty is relative to how many fragments you use before the fights

[lone crown]

Yes

[lament mango]

Sick

[polar stag]

It's gonna be really hard for From to outdo Elden Ring with their next game

[lone crown]

You'll get what i mean when you start the dlc

Really easy if it means movement and mechanics like Nightreign

[lament mango]

Next game is the dusk bloods ain't it?

[lone crown]

It was the necessary experiment game needed to push the medium forward

[lament mango]

That weird PvP legally distinct bloodborne looking game

[lone crown]

PvPvE

Idk what that means

[polar stag]

I meant like their next big game. It's probably why they're focusing on smaller projects like Nightreign and Duskbloods. They aren't ready to do another huge scale arpg

[lament mango]

Yeah, I've done a handful of runs now and I can FEEL fromsoft trying their hand at her stuff

And im all for it, i WANT to see a elden ring two with nightreign level of cooperation

[lone crown]

Nah they likely are already, theyve expanded project counts and let other directors do their shit like Nightreign

[lament mango]

I wanna see what sorta fuck shit they can concoct after adding the distilled juices of jightreign to their next game

[lone crown]

We know how many things theyre working on thanks to kadokawa repots

But obv we dont know what

[lament mango]

Dusckbloods is a miyazaki orignal tho ain't it?

[lone crown]

Yah but it could still always be smth small

That nintendo money

[lament mango]

True

[lone crown]

Made em do it

[polar stag]

didn't miyazaki say in an interview that Nightreign or Duskbloods were at least partly to give devs some further experience and learning to work on future projects?

[lament mango]

Love that we got legally distinct bloodborne. On a console im too poor right now to get love that. So happy

[lone crown]

Yes

Its all experimentational which is good cause you cant push the classic formula further than ER did USING JUST ER MECHANICS

So they need to change it

Adding jumping (and other new stuff) alone wasnt enough

[lament mango]

I mean id argue the open world format of elden ring is a natural evolution of soulsborne formula

Tho, and this is gonna sound stupid as fuck

I kinda hope they make a dark souls 4 or something along those lines

[lone crown]

Nope im sorry

[lament mango]

Yeah I know no plans in the works nothing more to do

[lone crown]

DS3 final boss was the perfect end to the trilogy and DS3 dlc final boss was the perfect end to its universe

And miyazaki hates sequels to begin with
