sk-discussion

[harsh yarrow]

Im just a bit curious if we can place the crystals somewhere

They seem to bright and not jagged enough to be the oness we see in the Coral King fight

[sick plank]

those look like they're going to end multiple hundred permadeath runs

[manic oar]

I've seen a lot of people who still think silksong could release this month but I want to hear what everyone thinks is the month silksong will come out?

[sick plank]

im july gang now i think

[umbral ether]

hopefully this month or next month so i can play it during summer break

[harsh yarrow]

Not until August at the earliest, I think

[trim estuary]

This area looks kinda sick…

[sick plank]

i hope i can play it during the semester break between august 6th and august 20th

[young saffron]

Defo not this month, there's no reason for them to be super silent if a release was this close

[trim estuary]

I’m telling you, we’re GETTING RELEASE DATE news on JUNE 12th. In the likely case that this does not happen. then uhhh idk probably August. August seems. cool

[sick plank]

june 12th release june 12th release

[trim estuary]

Not anymore sadly…

[sick plank]

its still possible until after june 12th

[pallid maple]

[normal token]

I don't think we should cut July just yet

[sick plank]

i dont think we should cut may yet

silksong could still release in april 2025 actually

[trim estuary]

July is just like not a game release month. You know? I know.

[sick plank]

june is the month to release a game

[normal token]

They'll do July to assert dominance

[sick plank]

ideally it will release on exactly august 6th

[trim estuary]

That’s true…. You strike when no one expects, and take the whole thing…

[umbral ether]

ok siffirin from in stars and time

[sick plank]

should i play that game

[trim estuary]

Can’t even spell their name right…

[trim estuary]

I haven’t even finished it yet lmao idk

[sick plank]

whats it about

[trim estuary]

timeloop turn based indie rpg about depression

[sick plank]

i love all of those things

buying it rn

[umbral ether]

the combat is rock paper scissors based

[trim estuary]

that’s true it’s actually one of my favorite turn based gameplays

[umbral ether]

what chapter are you on

[trim estuary]

the game also has awesome world building

[sick plank]

i believe in turn based game supremacy tbh

[trim estuary]

uhhhhhhh start or maybe halfway through act 3 I think

[umbral ether]

ok so about halfway if i rember right the last two acts ramp up the depression

[sick plank]

i love games about depression

[umbral ether]

have you played omori

[sick plank]

yeah

i should play it again probably

its been a long time

[umbral ether]

i find it funny how the actual game is depressing meanwhile the community is this

https://tenor.com/view/in-stars-and-time-isat-siffrin-explosion-frits-gif-4893061213494253101

[sick plank]

thats how most games are i think

the community has like the opposite tone of the game

[umbral ether]

very true seems like the more depressing the game the more postive the community

[trim estuary]

This is an analogy for something….

[floral void]

Fear and hunger community too

[floral void]

Most fucked up shit, wonderful bright people

[sick plank]

celeste community is like the goofiest most whimsical community ive seen

i mean

i dont think celeste is a depressing game but its definitely about depression

[umbral ether]

isn't the mountain a metaphor as well as a actual mountain

[sick plank]

yeah

[pallid plinth]

the mountain is a metaphor for the amount of horseshit is in the gam

[sick plank]

but like talking about depression doesnt make it necessarily dark or depressing

[umbral ether]

reminds me of hyper light drifter and how judgement/the immortal cell represnts the creator's heart disease

[sick plank]

the mountain is a metaphor for climbing mountains

the infection from hollow knight is a metaphor for silkposting

[umbral ether]

https://tenor.com/view/hyper-light-drifter-strike-slash-attack-judgment-gif-16483274824379838842

[sick plank]

i should finish hyper light drifter i think

[umbral ether]

it is a great game

[lone crown]

Wait

Guys, that dragon we killed before entering the city...

We dont suppose we broke the game right

[lilac moss]

Any news after the Silksong page update?

[sick plank]

yeah silksong is out

[lilac moss]

Definitely lol

[viscid wind]

I've obtained the mark of shame

[lilac moss]

How so

[opaque sigil]

I’m having an insane run idk about y’all

[lone crown]

@opaque sigil @oblique musk We killed the dragon before the boss before entering the city that was a weird funny moment

[lone crown]

Same, Im level 15 with 160k runes

[opaque sigil]

Starlight shards 🥺

[viscid wind]

hk

[lone crown]

And me killing that dragon in thet storm was extremely worth it, it gave me bolt of gransax

[opaque sigil]

Nice

[marsh spoke]

better than the mark of bugs

[umbral ether]

is this nightreign?

[sick plank]

its june you should have mark of pride

[lilac moss]

I see

[lone crown]

Yes

[opaque sigil]

This is gonna be slaughter

[umbral ether]

should i buy nightriegn i don't really have any friends who play formsoft games

[sick plank]

most people who play fromsoft games dont have friends

[bitter marlin]

do i hate today, or do i be kind

[viscid wind]

allegedly not

[lone crown]

Lfg

Not even close

[opaque sigil]

I completely forgot it wasn't night aspect but would have done literally nothing different otherwise

[lone crown]

Generational run

HOW did you get elden stars and placi ruin MINUTE ONE

[opaque sigil]

I got elden stars from that hut at the very beginning

[bitter marlin]

does nightreign have crossplay or nah

[oblique musk]

You have several people in this server who can and will answer a request to play.

[lone crown]

If you're PC id be down to play

[cunning geode]

no no he said formsoft games

very different

[oblique musk]

No. It's, like, the most popular criticism that I actually think holds water.

[bitter marlin]

how much is it

im to lazy to check

[lusty stump]

Def not my final form

[oblique musk]

$40

[umbral ether]

39.99 usd

[bitter marlin]

40$ and no crossplay is kinda insane

[lone crown]

This is the coolest thing ive done with ironeye so far

[cunning geode]

nightreign is only 40 what

[cerulean sable]

you know what is, every silk is song, i skong it biggggggggg

[cunning geode]

thats definitely less than i thought somehow

[lone crown]

Mark dash into the critcal hit

[opaque sigil]

can't believe it took me 40 fucking seconds to find elden stars

[lone crown]

Thats like comically insane

Wanna run aspect

[opaque sigil]

and placidusax's ruin was the next thing

[opaque sigil]

I'm down

[bitter marlin]

guys should i ragebait today or be for real today

[lone crown]

Nice

[sick plank]

isnt that the same thing for you

[oblique musk]

Would you believe me if I told you both those incantations are considered pretty bad in base ER?

[bitter marlin]

ehhh i kinda overplay alot of my opinions to rage bait

[oblique musk]

I'm tapping out.

[opaque sigil]

yes because in base er you have way less aggro control

[marsh spoke]

waiter! waiter! ragebait please

[lone crown]

Actually nevermind im not gonna run aspect

[oblique musk]

Ragebait

[bitter marlin]

like "I dont like fromsoft games" > "Fromsoft games are fucking dogshit and arent good at all"

[lone crown]

I dont have the remembrance thing for ironeye yet

[opaque sigil]

there isn't one

you don't need to be in remembrance mode

[bitter marlin]

this community is nothing but hate

[lone crown]

Oh right

[sick plank]

this community doesn't deserve silksong

[marsh spoke]

i am not a hateful man i just like the whimsy of ragebait

[lone crown]

Okay lets run it then

[bitter marlin]

we dont deserve fun

[oblique musk]

It's true, actually. Every fromsoft game is dogshit and we (yes WE) love them anyway

[lone crown]

Change password players to 2

[opaque sigil]

I might stick with revenant because I'm high on that last run what the hell was that

[oblique musk]

<@&283547423706447872> too tired to think of something funny. Kill him.

[marsh spoke]

ragebait is fun to play into

[bitter marlin]

my stupidest complain with fromsoft games are that you cant pause during them, idk its just my pet peeve with it

[lone crown]

ragebait is fun to play into

[oblique musk]

Y'all are the best.

[opaque sigil]

not being able to pause is a huge downside

[lone crown]

Well this is why Sekiro is the goat

[sick plank]

singleplayer games need pause buttons

[oblique musk]

So fucking true

[bitter marlin]

i feel like if i need to pause to take a piss i should be able to pause and take a piss

[lone crown]

I have no idea why singleplayer runs for nightreign, which are like 40 minutes, doesnt let you pause

[opaque sigil]

er even has a pause if you like open a tooltip menu in a menu it's just annoying to get to

[sick plank]

and yes, fromsoft games are singleplayer and thats how it should be

[lone crown]

TWO IRONEYE AND REVENANT LMFAOAOAO

[opaque sigil]

this is fine team comp

[cunning geode]

I see it silking around
I see it silking all down
Now the future is red
I see the citadel is laying dead
Cherries prayin'
Cover the dead where there layin'
The battle is won this is the silksong that we've won

[opaque sigil]

this makes sense

sebastian will tank trust

[sick plank]

actually i dont think any game should be multiplayer

[marsh spoke]

not being to pause im what's to my knowledge a 99.5% single player game franchise is crazy

[bitter marlin]

ofc it was the one piece fan saying that

[lone crown]

Nah we'd win

[marsh spoke]

unless fromsoft games have more than like 3 multiplayer elements i dont know about

[bitter marlin]

i dont think any game should exist

[sick plank]

fromsoft has the stupidest multiplayer of all time

[rocky flicker]

Hallo chat

[cunning geode]

that would be nintendo

[marsh spoke]

i think nothing should ever happen because when things happen its bad

[sick plank]

and like. i like fromsoft games lol

[oblique musk]

Nah, the games are definitely primarily singleplayer. Nightreign is the exception.

[marsh spoke]

i dont like or dislike fromsoft games because i tried ds1 remastered and couldn't be assed with dealing with the very hard nature of it

[sick plank]

nintendo is better because they dont do multiplayer

[cunning geode]

online 👹

[marsh spoke]

might give it another try this summer

[bitter marlin]

in my opinion, theyre overratted just because theyre pretty hard

theres nothing else that intrigues me in fromsoft games

[inland ravine]

guys

I ended up being a dessert

[sick plank]

i originally played elden ring (my first fromsoft game) because i thought ranni was hot

[bitter marlin]

based

[umbral ether]

understandable

[oblique musk]

You thought right.

[sick plank]

and it was all downhill from there because ranni is the hottest fromsoft character

[cunning geode]

if elden ring was my first fromsoft game then i'd say the same about maliketh

why else would i play that game

[oblique musk]

Blaidd?

[cunning geode]

true hes cool too

[sick plank]

i fucking hate blaidd i hope he explodes

[umbral ether]

why

[cunning geode]

boom

[sick plank]

the entire reason he exists is to screw over ranni

who is perfect objectively and did nothign wrong

[strong girder]

Hello Tarnished I have turned myself into a tiny figurine of myself

[oblique musk]

Except he says "fuck you" to the people who made him that way until he literally goes rabid as a result of resisting his programming. I will accept no slander of this man.

[umbral ether]

this is what ranni actully looks like

[sick plank]

would

[cunning geode]

🤨

tmi

[oblique musk]

beat me to it

[umbral ether]

that is a corpose

[sick plank]

ranni was already gorgeous but she did the whole rune of death thing just to become even prettier

i would have done the same

[sick plank]

this is also why ranni is canonically a trans woman

[umbral ether]

priscillia is a fucking lier those bonewheels are not kind

[oblique musk]

ftd (female to doll)

[umbral ether]

fuck these two enemys in particular

[oblique musk]

Actually, the rolling is just how they greet each other. How are they supposed to know it shreds flesh? They don't have any!

[cunning geode]

awww i love basilisks

and wheelies

[stuck stratus]

no silksong in wwdc, right?

[umbral ether]

have you played ds1

[stuck stratus]

idk if anyone watched it

[cunning geode]

yes multiple times

[sick plank]

https://tenor.com/view/raccoon-elden-ring-elden-ring-boss-povero-gabbiano-boss-man-gif-25906096

[oblique musk]

Innacurate, that raccoon would be slapped halfway across the field because I can't dodge for shit.

[sick plank]

maybe you cant but the racoon can

[umbral ether]

and the recorder would be winding up a attack until the heat death of the universe

[carmine island]

It says you are a boss in Elden ring not you’re fighting a boss in Elden ring

[stiff sleet]

LMAOO

[cunning geode]

hazbin hotel...

[meager nova]

that's honestly one of the more solid theories I've seen (doesn't mean it's plausible but the floor is very low here)

[mellow matrix]

so we can riot on the 24th of every month

[umbral ether]

kinda wild to have the tutorial boss for nightriegn be morgott

[opaque sigil]

A bit closer than I was expecting

[lone crown]

That was too close for comfort

[opaque sigil]

My ult was almost recharged at least

[lone crown]

I completely forgot the nuke had that shockwave

[opaque sigil]

I get dinged by those sometimes too

Still, gg

[lone crown]

gg

I was so used to dodging nuke at point blank

[opaque sigil]

makes sense

[lone crown]

Anyway|| ironeye is evil wow||

[opaque sigil]

I mean it's ||not thaaat different from wylder is it||

[lone crown]

Nope

[opaque sigil]

ig ||he's doing it for himself and not for duchess||

[lone crown]

||Why does recluse need to have an ending||

Im gonna suck so much bruh

[opaque sigil]

[lone crown]

But thats for tomorrow

[umbral ether]

that is cute

[opaque sigil]

recluse is rouch icl

she can restore her fp but not really enough

[pearl charm]

I love jar bazzar

[opaque sigil]

in my experience revenant has better fp economy because she's less dependent on it to do literally anything

[viscid wind]

Math exam results came back, partially

[opaque sigil]

recluse if you don't find a competent sidearm you can get fucked

[lone crown]

(Nightreign boss names spoilers) This is my tally so far of dudes who died most

[viscid wind]

all i know is that i scored 19/19 on the first part i think

[opaque sigil]

Wow that’s a lot of the first

[floral delta]

Tf did ||Gladius|| do to you

[viscid wind]

How are names spoilers if they tell me absolutely fucking nothing

[marsh spoke]

my exam results are coming all at once at an undisclosed time

every day could be my last.......

[opaque sigil]

Be easy to fight consistently

[lone crown]

Well idk man

SORRY for being considerate

[viscid wind]

you SHOULD feel shame !!!

[lone crown]

(/j it was stupid of me)

[marsh spoke]

spoil literally everything.

[opaque sigil]

Several of those names do in fact tell you things about the character

[lone crown]

Everyone dies

[umbral ether]

is there equipment load in nightriegn

[lone crown]

No

[opaque sigil]

||gladius, libra, maris||

[viscid wind]

||gladius sword
Libra the isaac item
nightlord nerd||

[lone crown]

Youre encouraged to hold as many things as you can actually
Each item gives a passive effect

[opaque sigil]

No AND many weapons have properties they give you for being in your inventory so ideally you carry a lot of shit

[lone crown]

Theres no traditional inventory though youre just limited to holding six weapons, two talismans, and four consumables

So you have to choose what to hold with you

[opaque sigil]

All the things equipment load used to affect are just fixed depending on the character

[viscid wind]

||maris means what? night? dark? stairs?||

[marsh spoke]

are you in libra peak camp or libra abysmal camp. this is very important

[lone crown]

Libra is peak

Im gonna say skill issue to people who disagree

[opaque sigil]

||ocean||

[umbral ether]

i noticed that also in the tutorial i found a weapon that just casted glintblade phalnx auotmactily which is pretty neat

[lone crown]

Like a toxic fromsoft fan

[viscid wind]

Libra is a run winner dont @ me

[opaque sigil]

I have changed my mind about that fight that attack is fine actually

[marsh spoke]

noting this down

i had a really funny run with libra as my first item once unfortunately i dont remember the outcome

[viscid wind]

You know what else is a run winner? breath of life

[floral delta]

PF1e cleric spell

[lone crown]

It also has two long and predictable windups, one where he's holding his palm up with something glowing before clenching, and the other time he uses it is after he does a jump attack with the staff where he casts it the same way

[opaque sigil]

I can't get over how stupid ironeye is

[lone crown]

Ironeye is busted

I wasnt even using his bow that much when we killed the nightlord rn

[viscid wind]

5.19 damage all you need anyway

[marsh spoke]

im not even gonna lie breath of life is kind of fun

like i picked it up once and it was unironically very fun to use

[opaque sigil]

like I felt kinda bad during the run with pritchett

[floral delta]

Y'know what else is fun

Rerolling follower stats in Cult of the Lamb

[marsh spoke]

if i ever get into tboi again im NEVER sleeping on that item again

[viscid wind]

instakills half the bosses in the game how the FUCK is it quality 1

[opaque sigil]

"Ah yes this is a reasonable amount of damage and stagger"

[marsh spoke]

i don't play cult of the lamb because i hate demons and bug demons

[lone crown]

Remember that one time we fought the four oracle envoys and they all got oneshot? That was just from my ult

[viscid wind]

demonophobe 🥹

Also how are you in the hollow knight discord then

[opaque sigil]

OH YEAH HOLD ON

[marsh spoke]

i'm actually highly bugphobic

[cunning geode]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369949566532976650/1290533429565194313/demon.gif

[lone crown]

The day i find death's poker on ironeye... oh man

[marsh spoke]

you kill bugs in hollow knight so its like a story of repentance

[lone crown]

Mark + the constant tick damage with the frost buildup and juicy posture damage

[viscid wind]

Imo it's more of an afterbirth +

[opaque sigil]

goofy

[marsh spoke]

waiter! waiter! more void portals please!

[opaque sigil]

It shot the goons BEHIND me

[marsh spoke]

theres someone out there who's playing afterbirth+ because they could only afford up to that

[viscid wind]

afterbirth+ pre booster packs is unironically so fucking bad why would you even play it

[young saffron]

GUH UGUHU

[lone crown]

Do you have the nameless fight saved cause i think we did a crazy burst of damage once

[young saffron]

PLEASE AN ORANGE OR CANDY OR SOMETHING

[opaque sigil]

uuuh maybe

[viscid wind]

I know that someone

[marsh spoke]

WHAT

[viscid wind]

Resourceful rat message

[young saffron]

OH FUCK 1 HP

[young saffron]

what?

ooh

I FUCIGN DIED OMF

dude im gonna cry

[opaque sigil]

but this whole run was fucked

[lone crown]

Generational run

[viscid wind]

How do people have the balls to not use exclusively infinite ammo weapons outside of boss fights

[young saffron]

because I had a sling + omega bullets

[viscid wind]

Idr i haven't played etg in 3 years SORRY

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/arbiter-halo-halo2-gif-23179713

[opaque sigil]

BRUH

[lone crown]

💀

[viscid wind]

Isn't the pilot basically cain though

[lone crown]

Mark is actually fucking busted

[young saffron]

in a way yes

[opaque sigil]

like bro actually needs a nerf

[lone crown]

I wonder if that was from two marks at once going off

[marsh spoke]

enter the gungeon is crazy one time i saw a guy with like 200 hours or something argue about it with another dude

[young saffron]

nice spent 5 creds on paradox and my game crashed

[opaque sigil]

it would be wild if they stacked like that but I don't think they do

[marsh spoke]

the other dude turned out to have like 3 hours

[young saffron]

etg the greatest roguelike/lite/whateveridc

[marsh spoke]

it was a beautiful argument to watch unfold

[calm thorn]

I need skong

[viscid wind]

Other dude is right

[umbral ether]

why can the executioner turn into a beast

[viscid wind]

You're not gonna die without it. I think

oh no you are can we have p-Ari-medics save this man from imminent death

[marsh spoke]

roguelike and roguesubscribe to my roguechannel for more tips against surviving the upcoming bug rapture

[opaque sigil]

actually hold on I need to put that whole run into a format where I can send it because that shit should be documented

[lone crown]

You gotta help me beat aspect as recluse cause i just need one more win and then ive cleared all remembrances

Tomorrow not rn

[opaque sigil]

of course

[lone crown]

Afterwards i’ve not much else to do other than unlock skins and stupid personal challenges

I seriously need to change my relic builds i havent done so in ages

I got way too many relics to sift through

[opaque sigil]

honestly the game is fun enough that at this point I don't feel a need for constant progression to stay interested

[lone crown]

Yeah

[viscid wind]

Silksong overmorrow

[opaque sigil]

also this point is 50 hours in which is pretty solid value either way

and I haven't even done all remembrances

[lone crown]

I have 76.7 already bruh

[viscid wind]

What the fuck do I even do all summer I'm burnt out of anything else and I can't force myself to anything but one or two isaac runs daily

[opaque sigil]

join us and play nightreign

[marsh spoke]

kill bugs in deep rock galactic

[lone crown]

Join us IF you’re a PC gamer

[viscid wind]

I CAN'T RUN IT

[opaque sigil]

damn

[viscid wind]

Burnt

[marsh spoke]

wdym burnt

[viscid wind]

out

[viscid wind]

[umbral ether]

i bought nightriegn and have only done the tutorial so far but it seems fun

[marsh spoke]

oh youve played it already

how many hours

[viscid wind]

200 ish

[opaque sigil]

pc?

[umbral ether]

yes

[lone crown]

We have indoctrinated yet another player

[viscid wind]

Nvm it's 253

[opaque sigil]

another stands against the night

[umbral ether]

wylder seems like a good beginner class

[lone crown]

Oh wylder is good

Im not biased

Actually useful

[marsh spoke]

how long ago

[opaque sigil]

wylder is the beginner class, but raider might have a lower skill floor actually?

[umbral ether]

will play more when it is not 11 pm

[viscid wind]

Month ago

[opaque sigil]

idk the only ones I would actively recommend against for new players are revenant and recluse really

[viscid wind]

Or like what does how long ago mean, last played?

[marsh spoke]

ah damn

yeah last played

[lone crown]

Wylder’s got the mobility option, the ability to survive a lethal hit (effect resets when touching a grace), and a damage-dealing ultimate that can disrupt the flow of a boss fight in a good way

[lone crown]

Oh yeah for sure

[viscid wind]

I want to play zomboid but my friends r idiots and I have a bad pc

[lone crown]

Well that didnt stop you tammo

[opaque sigil]

look I like summoning

and I'm finally okay at revenant

[marsh spoke]

i would offer to play drg with thee but if youre Freshly Burned Out its ok

[umbral ether]

i read recluises skills and they seems very complicated

[lone crown]

You did come in clutch with resurrections when i kept dying as ironeye

[opaque sigil]

recluse is a lot of memorization and very rng dependent

revenant requires a strong game sense

[viscid wind]

I want to play repo but my friends are evil and forced me to get a mod pack test everything out and send it to them and then refuse to play it

[lone crown]

Are those even friends

[viscid wind]

Apparently

I'm the only person that speaks English in the friend group

I want to play phasmophobia but they unwilling to learn anything about ghost behaviour except one person who is busy in uni

[marsh spoke]

thats fucked up ?

[viscid wind]

No it's not ?

[young saffron]

I HATE YOU I HATE U

[marsh spoke]

why would they do that if theyre not gonna play

[viscid wind]

lmfaoooo !!!!

Are there devil deals in gungeon i don't remember

[umbral ether]

unless you count the vampire who takes health for money no

[south vigil]

hi guys

[viscid wind]

hey andy

[south vigil]

hey i’m not andy

[marsh spoke]

good morning

[viscid wind]

Idk they've been planning to play for a long while

[south vigil]

i said hi not hey

[viscid wind]

Oh

[marsh spoke]

if theyre gonna play thats fair enough ig

[young saffron]

kinda?

[viscid wind]

long while being since repo went viral

[young saffron]

its like you get good items but ur curse status goes up

the more cursed the more chance of stronger "cursed" enemies appearing

[viscid wind]

You die in one hit when cursed right

[umbral ether]

no?

[young saffron]

no enemies do dobule dmg I think?

[harsh vector]

thats dead cells

[umbral ether]

that is dead cells

[harsh vector]

jinx!

[umbral ether]

jammed eneimes do double damage

[opaque sigil]

https://youtu.be/fi8CoyULWdI @lone crown @oblique musk this has to be the craziest run I've had so far

[viscid wind]

Whatever , dead cells is better

God damn fuck motion twin

[opaque sigil]

Eh the only thing dead cells really has over nr is the difficulty scaling aspect

NR is just as breakneck (and motivates that better imo)

[viscid wind]

I'm speaking than etg i aint know anything about elden rig

[opaque sigil]

Then maybe

[umbral ether]

have you done all 5 bsc

[viscid wind]

Yes

Then stopped playing because Holy Shit

[quartz cave]

hello gays

[umbral ether]

yeah after bsc 5 the only thing to really do is the boss rush

[quartz cave]

dead cells is mid because they collabed with hollow trash

[viscid wind]

And midraria

[quartz cave]

such a peak thing ruined by trash

[quartz cave]

true!

[unreal thicket]

Yeaaaaah, TC website updated

[umbral ether]

and hotline midami

[viscid wind]

And hotmid midami
and mid the spire

[viscid wind]

WHAT

[quartz cave]

idk i havent seen much of those

[umbral ether]

and mid the hero slayer

[quartz cave]

i only give my opinions on things i know are true so i never lie

And midl kmidht

And hymid mid mideaker

[unreal thicket]

Don't expect something, only PS4 and NS2 logos added

But

[quartz cave]

chat hop on peak (grounded 2)

[viscid wind]

That's huge though! silksong reaffirmed for ps4 after so damn long

[unreal thicket]

Website doesn't have updates since 2019

I think this is the time

We're almost there

[viscid wind]

Nintendo direct overmorrow with the game releasing

[quartz cave]

overmorrow is such a mid word we should invent a better one right now

i suggest

"the day"

"i hope they announce among us the day"

isnt that peak

[unreal thicket]

Nah, I think TC itself will show the release date

Please, no new areas in the trailer, just fucking release date

[viscid wind]

And wouldn't them being on a nintendo direct be still Team Cherry Themselves

[ripe spoke]

Something is coming soon, the skong is nigh

[viscid wind]

Imo the website update is an aftermath of people asking leth if silksong for PS4 is still confirmed

like, yesterday

[lone crown]

Oh nice you uploaded the whole thing

[unreal thicket]

True

Poor Leth, one YouTuber called him a pig

[quaint bridge]

I thought that too, it may be only that

[oblique musk]

Okay so you can see at 8:35 that I took a sippy of my estus and got absolutely no health. What the fuck

[umbral ether]

why is your pfp naked hornet

[oblique musk]

Why isn’t yours?

[quaint bridge]

Why wouldn't it be??

[unreal thicket]

Because it's peak

Naked hornet IN the game

[kindred pewter]

new hbomberguy video and man, I called it

[umbral ether]

ok then

[unreal thicket]

That is this video about?

I'm lazy too watch 3 hours video

[young saffron]

why silksong is bad

[umbral ether]

how is fp regained in nightreign

[kindred pewter]

silksong is a dissapointment

[quaint bridge]

YEAHHH

[south vigil]

[hidden lava]

have u guys seen the silksong site where it has now other consoles as where it will be playable

[unreal thicket]

why is Hornet naked in the game anyway

Like

[oblique musk]

Fake, hbomb would never upload a video

[quaint bridge]

Yep it's what we're talking about

[unreal thicket]

For what?

[hidden lava]

oh srry

[quaint bridge]

My exact same question but I'm here for it

[viscid wind]

Hot spring would make sense

[oblique musk]

Starlight Shards are the main method, but there are other ways.

[south vigil]

holding hands scene

[quaint bridge]

YOU'RE RIGHT

I hadn't thought of that

[unreal thicket]

Ah

[viscid wind]

Vessels never took them off since it appears to be a biological thing

[hidden lava]

what if naked hornet is playable

yo chill

[viscid wind]

This is proof that hornet follows zote's precepts
keep your cloak dry

[quaint bridge]

WhaT, their clothes??? They're born with them??

[unreal thicket]

[lone crown]

Graces, starlight shards, if you’re recluse you can absorb it out of enemies, and lastly you can find passive bonuses as reward like for example “continous attacking replenishes FP”

[south vigil]

go ask #hk-lore about this they’re friendly

[viscid wind]

Yes??? As seen in the abyss ascent cutscene???

[quaint bridge]

Sure :3

[lone crown]

Meanwhile the dude in colosseum of fools bathing in full fucking armor

[midnight trout]

lets go i beat genichiro (the first one because it feels like hes coming back)

[marsh spoke]

theyre not clothes probably theyre most likely wings or something

[quaint bridge]

I guess, I didn't think about that

[heady iron]

Meadow genichiro or pagoda genichiro?

[hidden lava]

thats bc it is a carcass, no way to get it out

[viscid wind]

And because I thought it helped them tame the infection in some way idr

Idr Colo lore

[south vigil]

theres guys and they try to kill you

that’s the lore

ngl i should become mossbag now

mossbag get ready for some crazy competition

[viscid wind]

To become mossbag you must kill the original

[south vigil]

a sacrafice, for the skong

[celest fractal]

Faction cross-fighting in silksong looks like it may be interesting. I hope they do more with it than just the ants and the deer

[viscid wind]

It didn't work though mossbag is Title Card

[celest fractal]

I feel like enemy infighting works best in top down / 3D enviroments but rainworld exists and does it great so who knows

[viscid wind]

We've seen a skull goomba raid some town already, so.

[celest fractal]

Im not sure if the goober little townsfolk would fight back lol but maybe

[viscid wind]

Would a massive skull goomba behave similarly to the massive moss charger

[celest fractal]

maybe, except able to change directions on a whim mayhaps

[south vigil]

heck yeah, that’s the best fight in hk they should do the same thing with it

[celest fractal]

the best fight in hk

[viscid wind]

I agree, ant queen carmelita is the best fight in hk

[unreal thicket]

Isn't she a HUNTER queen?

Yes

Hunter queen Carmelita

[viscid wind]

That's her legal name

[unreal thicket]

But she also ant

[lone crown]

Yes

[oblique musk]

I doubt you’d be able to push it back.

[viscid wind]

Thankfully

[uncut salmon]

My birthday is november 1st, hoping for a birthday release for silksong 🙏

[lone crown]

It’ll happen sooner than that i assure you

[viscid wind]

Ok but after September hardly makes any sense

[oblique musk]

Praying it’s earlier 🙏

"Big-skull-goomba-cool-dash-combo"

[lament coyote]

I wonder how well would daily silkslop series with me beating ||the knight|| every single day do..

Its soon, remember, they already MADE the game

[opaque sigil]

Gigantonormous

[viscid wind]

We ALL love hector

[south vigil]

HECTOR MY GOAT

[lone crown]

Hector my beloved

[carmine island]

Gigantasourous

[unreal thicket]

I think it's a larger enemy, but not a boss

[opaque sigil]

What are they gonna name him fake soldier

[south vigil]

it will be in June trust trust

[viscid wind]

Duh???

[lone crown]

Yeah its an enemy, cause ambush room that already has enemies and are dead on the floor

[unreal thicket]

Yeah

[south vigil]

yeah hector isn’t a boss

[viscid wind]

Uh, false knight has enemies on the floor, no?

[lone crown]

Irrelevant

[fair belfry]

i need them to release this game before august 20th my friend has bet me that if it does he will buy it for me

[lone crown]

Hector is too easy for a citadel boss

[fair belfry]

free silksong would be epic

[south vigil]

your friend is weird
also it will dw

[lone crown]

Bro just hops like false knight

[lament mango]

I gotta head to bed but now im curious. Who'd win in a fight, the Lies of P protsgnost or the good hunter from bloodborne?

[lone crown]

Sekiro solos

[south vigil]

definitely maelle from expedition 33

[fair belfry]

because he didnt believe the game was coming out any time soon lol

[south vigil]

bad decision ngl

[fair belfry]

good decision for me tho lol

[lament mango]

True, but she'd need to learn their attack pattern first to pull off the one hit kill

[south vigil]

it’s out in June trust me trust trust

[opaque sigil]

No she doesn’t

[south vigil]

i just one tapped the first phase of the final boss with steadahl ngl

[viscid wind]

Original hollow knight has dogshit enemy variety

[lament mango]

Tell your friend if the game comes out this month they need to buy everyone here a copy

[oblique musk]

Sekiro solos any verse ever with the power of deflection.

[opaque sigil]

Goes first use pictos to act twice use the 1hp virtuose stendhal

Their friend will be in crippling debt

[umbral ether]

that is a lot of people

[south vigil]

yeee

[lament mango]

Ya say this, im level 80 something and shits still fucking tanky

[unreal thicket]

Is needle can be upgraded, like, pure needle or something

[viscid wind]

Hopefully not

[oblique musk]

We don’t know right now, but it’s likely.

[umbral ether]

[south vigil]

250k dmg with steadahl is fucking crazy

[lament mango]

M8 im dealing 9 million every turn and I still have issues

[south vigil]

i barely optimized with this, with like roulette and at death’s door it could do way more

[opaque sigil]

Bonus points if sciel goes first and can double the damage again

[south vigil]

o. h.

uh

[opaque sigil]

And near death lumina/pictos

[lament mango]

Cuz my entire build relies on having 1 hp and being in virtuoso.... and that means i get one tapped if I miss one dodge or parry

[south vigil]

that’s an interesting choice

[lament mango]

Hell the final super boss has like fucking 25 million hp

[lone crown]

Mario and Luigi from the Mario and Luigi RPGs:

[opaque sigil]

Second chance plus there are ways to get shields

[south vigil]

o h

[opaque sigil]

However much hp he has he’s not hard to one shot with damage stacking

[lament mango]

Reminds me i gotta grind some chroma catalyst to rank up some diffrent weapons to 30 or so

Cuz barrier breaker, my beloved, is nice and all

[opaque sigil]

Give me enough lumina points and a maelle with which to use them and I shall pierce the world

[opaque sigil]

And maybe viable not that medalum isn’t literally broken

[lament mango]

But I feel like i can squeeze that damage number to ten million or higher if I try

[south vigil]

what’s the highest possible damage output in the game

[lone crown]

At least 6

[lament mango]

I literally had to fight the final boss using only regular attacks i was so busted

[opaque sigil]

Dunno but way higher than it needs to be to ohko anything

[lament mango]

I saw like 50 million in a video once

[opaque sigil]

This is why I recommend beelining for the final fight when you unlock it

[oblique musk]

Unstoppable force vs immovable object. Bros pull out magic window, Sekiro deflects, loops endlessly. Seconds will turn into minutes into hours into days into months into years, and eventually they will all forget what they were fighting for. The A, B, and L1 buttons are ground into dust, and all that is left is three nobodies fighting over nothing.

[south vigil]

this is what i did and still steadahl made it a joke

i shouldn’t have used steadahl ngl that shit took only 2 attempts 😭

[lament mango]

Keep in mind that build also has sciels fortunes fury, roulette which has a 50 50 chance to make every attack deal double or half damage, a mark, defense down, etc etc

[opaque sigil]

I also recommend not using stendhal

[lament mango]

I think they also had the whole "deal more damage if your alone" picto aswell

[opaque sigil]

Maelle has plenty of more balanced but still strong damage options

[south vigil]

i might redo it i have an old save file on another device that’s only a little bit behind

[opaque sigil]

I don’t think that’s gonna be better than using sciel

[lament mango]

Ngl I find that I get more damage out of ||Gustages homage|| then stendhal

[opaque sigil]

Uuuh

[lament mango]

It is if you make her intentionally die right after

[opaque sigil]

I haven’t used it since the stendhal nerf but I don’t think that should be true?

Stendhal got its damaged knocked down by a massive 40% and is still obscenely strong

[lament mango]

Strend is better for single burst dps, but if the target is weak to lightning there's nothing better. Also if you mark them first its always a good idea

[opaque sigil]

Sure

[lament mango]

Reminds me, i should recoat sometime and get some stats up to 99

[opaque sigil]

It’s good for marked targets but the better use for ||homage|| is virtuose stance from zero

[lament mango]

I think the highest I got rn is like

50

[lament mango]

Naw i use that all or nothing skill, the one that drops your HP down to 1, but gives you viru and 9 ap

[opaque sigil]

Sure you can use that

But there’s not that much reason to

Unless you’re specifically using near death stuff

[lament mango]

Yup

E33 and its parry/dodge system has allowed me to make the ultimate glass cannon builds fueled only by my reflexes

Aslong as I keep dodging, I can keep nuking

Tho I've not optimized anything in it tho

Im mostly just sticking on pictos I think are useful

[opaque sigil]

You can also get shields and there is second chance

[lament mango]

No idea if immaculate still triggers if I use the all or nothing skill

[lament mango]

Second chance is always on by default

I also thought about getting The One picto, but I feel like thst would fuck my build

Oh also inverted affinity for that extra 50 percsnt

What does it matter if i can't heal for 3 turns, if my entire build revolves around being one hit from death

[opaque sigil]

Potentially I’m not sure how exactly near death pictos would work with that

It’s redundant anyways given the skill

[lament mango]

Well I'd only do it for the 101 crit chance tbh

[opaque sigil]

Overkill

[lament mango]

Cuz then i can stack other pictos into might

[lament mango]

You'd be fucking shocked. Last Grendel I fight in the super boss area ate 4 strends before he died

[opaque sigil]

Well I haven’t done much with that stuff but I’m not sure your setup is very optimal then unless the massive Stendhal nerf did work

[lament mango]

And most enemeis in that area tanked 2 or more depending on how roulette felt

[lament mango]

I mean i two shot the giant snake and one shot the big rune head dude

Endless tower is a bitch tho, and again the entire build revovles around me dodging/parrying good

Tho the fact that my counter deals half a million, upwards of 800k damage is funny as fuck

[opaque sigil]

Counter builds are fun it sucks expert is disproportionately bad for them

[lament mango]

I also heard everyone scales in ng+. Like the curator has like 5 million hp

It's gonna be interesting

[opaque sigil]

It does scale yeah

[lament mango]

Ive mostly been focused on maelle tho, should really give sciel and lune some love. I've got lune on a 100 crit build where I just spam elemental trick and genesis

[opaque sigil]

||Gustave a little extra underpowered||

Lune is fun

Sciel is like without competition the second best party member

[lament mango]

Ngl I wanna get to ngl just to see ||What all the guns from all the swords you get after he dies looks like|| its a stupid reason I know

[opaque sigil]

[lament mango]

But I really wanna see what the super boss weapon looks like with him

[opaque sigil]

Reasonable

Tbh I basically just used the earth sword

Skill issue I know

[lament mango]

Ive used the lancram for the entire run and i dont regret it

Sue me, rank C out the gate is pretty fucking good as a starter

[opaque sigil]

It’s decent yeah

[lament mango]

Alsp the weapon for the super boss appanrelty ||Makes you immortal aslong as your rank A or above|| which is amazing. But it also massively lags your game sometimes

I know they said they'd be reevaluating their plans for dlc, but if they ever announce it that's a day one buy from me

[bleak token]

i feel like hollowing

[lament mango]

I wasnt expecting much from E33, and got shocked and pleasantly surprised every time. And if it doesn't win goty im gonna say some unkind things about geoff

[lament mango]

The dark souls kind or the waiting for elden ring kind

One has more wopper then you'd expect

[bleak token]

the hollow knight kind

[lament mango]

Damn, dont know how to help you. Don't drink any weird orange goop i guess

[bleak token]

huh

well i accidently ate 2 cups of it from the floor

[icy vigil]

It's gonna be funny if we get another event and silksong's not there, and everybody gets pissed about it again only for Team Cherry to drop a trailer on their Youtube channel the day after

[bleak token]

someone should 200% play hollow knight multiplayer with me

[lament igloo]

In my view, this is The only thing they can do atp , reveal the date themselves, im sure they dont need another company to do it for them

honestly im excited to see the early game changes

i think other companies are the ones milking silksong

how tf do you milk an unfinished game

what if TC instead developed the deadpool game?

so? most games there looked really fun and the ads weren't abysmal dogshit

[midnight trout]

true

[marsh spoke]

i'm scared of layer 8 because of p rank time requirements. how am i going to find my way in a non euclidean dimension

[viscid wind]

unfortunately it was pc language that is impossible to remember so i was immune to propoganda

[cerulean sable]

Fuck man you reminded me of the pre release CP2077 hype

every fucking week, top post:
CYBERPUNK WILL INCLUDE X AND Y
CYBERPUNK WILL HAVE AN ENTIRELY MASSIVE WORLD
CYBERPUNK TO INCLUDE DEEP LEVEL CUSTOMIZATION

and the comments on every thread is saying it might be the game to end all games

in hindsight, im happy TC just decided to just shut the fuck up, and even then thst didny stop people from making huge expectations

[marsh spoke]

seriously though the non euclidean level in amid evil was the most annoying one to navigate by far so i hope they Take Care not to make layer 8 too annoying to run through

[harsh yarrow]

Yeah

[cerulean sable]

saw an r silksong guy is unironically said the game needs to be 3x in size to justify the wait

and so many people were agreeing with them lmao

[harsh yarrow]

It is a bit sad that TC just went completely dark on communication, minus the occasional bit from Leth

[heady iron]

Sounds like a certain 6th game in a popular franchise

[glossy berry]

i mean as unfortunate as it is i can't blame them in the slightest

[harsh yarrow]

I will be fair to them- I bet they felt a bit bad about 2022 and didnt want to get peoples hopes up again until they were 100% sure they'd hit a release date

[harsh yarrow]

Exactly

[subtle flint]

chat im out of snus, its so over

[normal token]

Can't lie the times I was genuinely confused they were silent is when xbox dropped and they did no blogpost

[cerulean sable]

same

[glossy berry]

people were parasocially feral from the drop
mix that with a delay and the team already being reputably quiet and keeping to themselves

i feel like willingly interacting with r/silksong is a gamble on getting torn to shreds

[lapis oyster]

I can't wait another 2 months for news man, the baby wants the toy now

[neon hemlock]

I really think they are about to reveal something, but no one can be sure

[heady iron]

Is there an r/okbuddyhollow

[manic oar]

I still don't know why TC added achievements since we got no news

[glossy berry]

theres for sure a middle ground communication wise here
i know they've got leth to do a lot of the menial stuff there, and it obviously makes sense not to constantly hype expectations but putting the delay announcement on their own twitter/not making any statements about xbox stuff either is strange

[cerulean sable]

like dont get me wrong i do agree some form of comms would be nice, more on from hearing from them, less so for news imo (though not everyone would agree, theyd probably still ask for some metrics like release period, enemy count etc)

but at the same time, i dont get the people who act like theyre disrespected and itll tank the games sales when there are way more devs with actually fucked up backgrounds but noone bats an eye if their game is good

[glossy berry]

test driven development is a thing

[median fractal]

because expectations are insane. but the thing is that in the end we'll be satisfied with more Hollow Knight (especially since its probably bigger and "better" (That is subjective)). Can't blame them for the expectations though because yeah after waiting 6 years for a game you'd probably grow to expect big things, but TC are also absolute chefs

[glossy berry]

you dont just upload a build to steam and hope everything works fine

[heady iron]

tests are for students

[normal token]

With the recent steamdb changes and now tc/silksong sites to include ps4/5 I am somewhat optimistic that we'll get a release date in the next 2 months

[young saffron]

3x the size of what? Hk? If so that's like 90-120 hours on AVG to beat silksong

[cerulean sable]

people in echo chambers eventually starts to assume they speak for everyones behalg

behalf

[glossy berry]

im pretty sure r/silksong is okbuddyhollow atp

you could rename the sub and nobody would tell the difference

[median fractal]

that would be like 40-50 areas

[heady iron]

The chud jumping into a wall 200 times tester vs the gigachad fuck it we ball bug releaser

[normal token]

Well after extensive research, the game files technically aren't on there cuz there is no manifest id added , those are typically added on the day of release

[manic oar]

I know some people are still holding out for June but I feel like with all the showcases it won't happen. I'm betting/coping on next month

[glossy berry]

in this house we patch after launch

[young saffron]

To win silksong you need to do a R5 all bindings boss rush to reach the final boss

[neon hemlock]

Well, remember that they added a beta testing build 8 month ago, the one added days ago should be polished, I suppose

[cerulean sable]

ye lmao

[normal token]

Team Cherry was the latter but now they're the former lol

[subtle flint]

my cat be geeking

[glossy berry]

they did not add a beta testing build 8 months ago where does this come from

[cerulean sable]

cuz 2d games apparently shoudlnt take this long

[normal token]

That update is irrelevant, it affected many other applications

[median fractal]

Tbf I do not want Silksong to end very quickly so the more content there is the better. But I ain't getting my hopes up for upwards of more than 25 areas 😂

[glossy berry]

this isnt the first person who's said it either who's spreading misinfo

[young saffron]

Though I am rly interested to see how advanced combat is in silksong.

If you compare hk combat to what we've seen of silksong it looks like baby steps

[harsh yarrow]

I will be fully happy with a game that is only a bit longer to beat than Hollow Knight (HK ending, not TE)

[median fractal]

I am DYING to see how fluid Silksong gameplay is

[heady iron]

I hope it has actual parries, love me some parryslop

[median fractal]

JUST LOOK AT HORNET'S MOVEMENTS MAN

[cerulean sable]

i trust not that theyll deliver the indie game to end all indie games, but essentially just a better and expanded Hollow Knight with caveats

[glossy berry]

it does seem to have some yeah

[median fractal]

[native dagger]

Yeah I cant wait to figure out the whole upgrade system, seems really intricate

I just want a great game

[harsh yarrow]

But has more optional content, like quests, things to find, and world events to discover

[glossy berry]

please fact check your claims
go check the update log

[manic oar]

I feel like with the art museum in September it wouldn't make sense to hold on without giving time for people to play the game and do everything so my guess is July to early early August

[glossy berry]

the beta branch has not been touched since 2019

[heady iron]

Ori already made the perfect metroidvania, they legally cant be topped

[normal token]

Irrelevant

[cerulean sable]

FUCKING. WALL UP DASHES MAN

spam hopping walls is over

[glossy berry]

its gonna be so peak

[young saffron]

They rly had to make this footage tilted 😔😔😔

[median fractal]

dude that thing that lets you hop between walls looks so cool

[glossy berry]

yeah we're gonna have less focus on movement

[viscid wind]

It truly is, a Tilted Tower

[median fractal]

who said this

[obsidian owl]

never speak again

[normal token]

I thought they said the opposite?

[manic oar]

Oh my God we're all going to die so many times from platforming

[median fractal]

Hornet is literally the embodiment of agility and movement

[glossy berry]

team cherry in edge said its gonna be less platforming based

[viscid wind]

No way they fucking said this that's like an entire selling point of silksong

[glossy berry]

sorry i made an error its less platforming not less movement

[obsidian owl]

less platforming doesn't mean less movement??

[median fractal]

nothing of what I saw of Silksong is this

[obsidian owl]

oh ok fair enough

[median fractal]

Like, literally that specific clocktower section looks a lot like a heavy platforming section

[viscid wind]

to be fair hollow knight barely has any fucking platforming though????

[warped umbra]

they didnt say they would focus less on platforming, just more on attacks, but you know how team cherry is 🥴

[cerulean sable]

if HK combat and platforming is assumingly 6 and 4 out of 10 for both in terms of priority

Silksong is gonna be 9 and 7 which is still a net gain on both lmao

[obsidian owl]

the white palace in question:

[viscid wind]

1% of the game

Literally

[glossy berry]

yeah no im just tired apologies for the misinfo lmao
the fluidity of movement is about it in combat

and ttaco's put it succinctly yeah

[neon hemlock]

I just said that there were a beta testing uploaded at that time, sorry if I saw that on steamd db and thought that. I don´t know, explain that to me then because I just don´t understand

[heady iron]

It should be 10 and 10 for how long the game is takjng

[viscid wind]

it was an automated update, team cherry didnt do it

[native dagger]

wdym, crystal peak, white palace and the garden area are full of platforming

[median fractal]

they should make silksong THE game

so that everyone and their mom plays it

[marsh spoke]

theres barely any serious platforming in the game

[viscid wind]

the platforming in question is Jump except white palace

[obsidian owl]

anyrad 4.0 is releasing with silksong isn't it

[heady iron]

The question is will silksong have accessibility sliders

[glossy berry]

the most recent changes are automated (see "affects [x] items")

[obsidian owl]

would downgrade the game to a 0/10 immediately

[marsh spoke]

yes white palace exists yeah theres a bunch of platforming gimmicks in qg and crystal peaks but theyre not used in anything and the Rest of the Game is still walls floors and vines

[glossy berry]

no beta test version has been uploaded since 2019

[marsh spoke]

in terms of platforming i mean

[wheat imp]

its so interesting that well be able to pick between a hk and diagonal pogo trough the crest system, at first i though that it would be like haiku and ud just put the best of each category but im really starting to get excited

[viscid wind]

also hollow knight had pretty poor enemy variety

[obsidian owl]

no development has happened since 2019 yYOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST FOLKS

[glossy berry]

its true

[heady iron]

The difficulty options should go
Helpless Flea
Regular Fly
Experienced Bug
Higher Being

[glossy berry]

bellbeast is the final boss actually

[obsidian owl]

wait do we have confirmed difficulty settings

[normal token]

no

[marsh spoke]

silk soul yes

[obsidian owl]

silk soul is crazy

[wheat imp]

thats a mode

[glossy berry]

other than silk soul no

[obsidian owl]

is it made out of silk

[viscid wind]

no?
Normal Soul
Silk Souk

[cerulean sable]

ye the problem with HK is it sprinkled platforming challenges on a 2/10 to 5/10 difficulty that takes like 10 mins at most, then WP said heres a 9/10 platforming challenge that takes 2 hrs on avg to finish

[normal token]

Oh ye I forgot silk soul existed

[glossy berry]

steel soul if it wasnt a diametrically worse experience for the game

[normal token]

I wonder how they'll spice it up that it isn't just one-life

[marsh spoke]

a mode of difficulty perhaps

[obsidian owl]

i'd say that it barely changes shit

[cerulean sable]

iirc even Ari himself agrees in hindsight that it was too big of a spike vs to what the game makes you go through on average

[obsidian owl]

it's exactly the same thing

[neon hemlock]

Ok, I understand now. It wasn´t my intention to make any disinformation, just sharing what I saw, sorry. How do you know that uploads were automated? Just curious

[wheat imp]

literally nothing can kill you after you spend a couple dozen hours grinding the hog

[marsh spoke]

steel soul exists to make me scared of playing overcharmed or fury through the whole game

[viscid wind]

Challenge Silk Soul mode! Once you conquer the kingdom, test your skills in an all-new mode that spins the game into a unique, challenging experience.

it's implied to be more difficult

[glossy berry]

skips are implicit to the metroidvania genre and steel soul lowers that realm of difficulty and artificially increases it with single life

[viscid wind]

False?

I died to nosk in steel soul after radhog

[glossy berry]

nosk sucks though

[wheat imp]

skill issue idk

just stay on the ledge

[marsh spoke]

this is what you get for trying to have fun, next time just cheese it bro

[wheat imp]

the only time i died was to thk because he isnt in hog and i tried to do steel soul in under 5 hours

[viscid wind]

(it was smart to go nosk with nail 0 and shaman stone with normal spells)

[obsidian owl]

the single life in question only applies to the non-dream bosses (ie not to the actually somewhat challenging ones) and can be cheesed super easily by just... quitting out

[marsh spoke]

jesus christ the demon took over for that message

[wheat imp]

your damage output doesnt matter if the chance of getting hit is near zero

[viscid wind]

what ledge though

[obsidian owl]

steel soul is arguably too lenient with what it lets you get away with

[viscid wind]

i am not aware of this cheese tactic

[marsh spoke]

the like

[wheat imp]

the edge of the platform

[viscid wind]

stop talking about the bad gam!!!!!!!!!!!

[marsh spoke]

platform thing you can stand next to the platform and he wont hit you

[heady iron]

Silksoul will alleviate this cheese by deleting your entire save if you quit the game more than 10 seconds after your last bench

[wheat imp]

only the drool attack can hit you but just walk slowly left and right for that one

[obsidian owl]

i approve of this please make this real

[marsh spoke]

what do you MEAN im talking about hollow knight

[viscid wind]

Rain World

[viscid wind]

Exactly vro............

[marsh spoke]

i understand now

[wheat imp]

*pc crashes*

[marsh spoke]

thank you for enlightening me

[viscid wind]

[heady iron]

Skill issue

[heady iron]

Silksong should let you pet the heckin fleas

[viscid wind]

[subtle flint]

yeah probably

[heady iron]

And there should be a flea named chonker

[obsidian owl]
