[quartz cave]

yes because i said so

[lone crown]

Augur is atrocious

[sick plank]

bloodborne reference

[quartz cave]

augur? like august? do you know what releases on august

[sick plank]

my gambling addiction!!!!

[opaque sigil]

The sad thing is the ambience is actually really cool

[lone crown]

Oh there’s an extremely early alpha mod (modding state is at its infancy rn) called “Free Reign” enabling boss refights and other stuff however I won’t touch it til the mod improves

And also til we get enhanced nightlords

[opaque sigil]

Honestly I don’t mind the runs to get to nightlords makes the fights feel more special and like a culmination

[lone crown]

Yeah

Boss refights would kill that

[opaque sigil]

I guess with the enhanced ones I could maybe see it being a nice option but I don’t think I would use it

[lone crown]

I only have one intention for a mod like that and its a “cop out”

[opaque sigil]

Wdym

Just to do level 1 stuff without a full run?

[lone crown]

Essentially

RNG is even more important than playing normally

[opaque sigil]

I can imagine

[lone crown]

And you grab WAY less upgrades from bosses since they take longer

[opaque sigil]

And the only thing you’d be missing out on is what commons?

Oh right those

And it’s not like you consistently get good ones of those

[lone crown]

And you’re essentially limited to starter weapon if you want something that deals good damage (upgrades don’t require levels)

[opaque sigil]

You could use other commons but it’s probably not gonna be better especially since relics can manipulate your starter

[lone crown]

Ritual shield talisman is a must-find

[opaque sigil]

Level 1 does sound rough as hell you have so little health

[lone crown]

Yeah its unrealistic

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[lone crown]

Honestly ironeye could definitely do it

[opaque sigil]

Ironeye is stupid

I guess I don’t know how mark damage is calculated, I assume it scales with level though

Between that and the ult he also has crazy stagger power

[lone crown]

Oh yeah

Executor will probably be really damn difficult but the healing for deflects with the appropriate relic could be good

[opaque sigil]

Executor is at least brute force able against everything in theory

Recluse 💀

[lone crown]

Recluse is a pain even playing normally

Have fun with glintstone pebble and arc

And whatever common staffs exist

[opaque sigil]

At least you can find common staffs easily enough

[cerulean sable]

people be like

"omg i cant wait to romance lace"

actual hornet in the game when she encounters lace vice versa https://youtu.be/ArzyVUtZmp4?t=52

[umbral ether]

what does this mean

[opaque sigil]

It means your next run will be a little weird

[oblique musk]

Big hole. Good shit at the bottom

[lone crown]

Dont jump directly into the thing

[opaque sigil]

There will be a map modification, generally good to explore on day 2 and crater in particular has a lot of good shit

[umbral ether]

do traces of a nightlord do anything

[lone crown]

Nah its just a key item

[opaque sigil]

You get a relic too though

[oblique musk]

Just for lore stuff. Collecting 4 unlocks the final boss.

[lone crown]

Honestly i didnt expect the amount of hours i had played in Nightreign in order to complete everything

Like it took longer than i thought

And im not close to bored yet

[opaque sigil]

What was the tally, like 75?

[lone crown]

AND there’s new content coming

[versed pollen]

Bro is the roguelike maniac

[opaque sigil]

DLC is gonna go crazy

And the free update this month

[umbral ether]

oh this is the morgott shackle

[lone crown]

Yep, exclusive reward for beating tutorial which is replayable

[opaque sigil]

What does it do

[lone crown]

The effects are kinda mid though

[lone crown]

Let me find it

[oblique musk]

So, fun fact for y'all, the "A Champion's Path" achievement does not require you to defeat ||Heolstor|| with all 8 characters. It does not even require you to defeat one specific nightlord with all 8 characters. All that it requires is for you to complete an expedition with all 8 characters.

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, that’s pretty poorly communicated by the game

[opaque sigil]

Oh yeah that’s mid

There’s another fixed relic that’s just that but like way better

[oblique musk]

I love how fitting it is. Morgott switches weapons constantly with his golden stuff, he uses a bunch of throwing knives, and his great rune in the base game increases HP.

[lone crown]

Ironic considering his ER boss has not enough HP

[opaque sigil]

I mean he’s a night boss I think it’s fair

[lone crown]

nah i mean like the base game

[opaque sigil]

Oh I read that as nr for some reason

[lone crown]

Lmao

[opaque sigil]

Yeah that fight was way too easy

[lone crown]

Morgott’s moveset is so interesting too

A shame he’s pathetic

Bro fell off

[south vigil]

hello guys

[umbral ether]

which relic

[opaque sigil]

One of the nightlords’

[lone crown]

Dont worry about it

[umbral ether]

is it the final boss relic

[oblique musk]

You're not andy lil bro

[lone crown]

I should really test Equilibrious Beast’s relic

[oblique musk]

I don't know what it does.

[lone crown]

I need to see what exactly the thing does

And if it could be used for something specific i have in mind

[opaque sigil]

A gesture makes you build up madness and madness regens FP

By far the weirdest one

[lone crown]

Its so in-character

[opaque sigil]

It might actually be halfway ok on revenant since she can keep aggro off herself long enough to do it but it just seems so clumsy and fp isn’t a problem if you are smart about shards

Well it’s an issue for things that don’t matter but you just carry a weapon too

[oblique musk]

It would be especially good if you can grab madness incants, since those build up madness on yourself.

[south vigil]

that’s why i said hello guys and not hey guys

[opaque sigil]

Yeah

And madness incants are kinda good

But hard to get

Even going to the madness map encounter things you just… won’t often get them

But they can be run winners

[oblique musk]

Yeah, that's probably because in base ER you have all of 3 weapons that innately build up madness, and you can't infuse a weapon with it.

[lone crown]

I genuinely think this is DLC boss music

I cant find this melody anywhere, not even in the unused third phase boss OSTs

https://youtu.be/nWlj3TI17_0?si=obBKpCDty9Wexw0a

[opaque sigil]

Yeah but even playing as revenant which should skew things towards seals appearing they’re super rare

But they can be straight up run winners

[lone crown]

Tammo finding elden stars and placi ruin frame one

[opaque sigil]

Honestly neither of those felt as strong as the eye beam

Well maybe Elden stars

[oblique musk]

Frenzied burst goes kinda crazy

[lone crown]

Oil pot + frenzied burst in base ER

[oblique musk]

Range was fucking insane in base game, so it probably crosses half the map in NR

[opaque sigil]

It’s how I killed the final boss first

Oh yeah

Daphne Blast is a tried and true strategy

[lone crown]

I think the entities with the longest hypothetical projectile distance are the Guardian Golems and the… lobsters

[opaque sigil]

Yeah what the fuck is with the lobsters

[lone crown]

If you get a mod that aggros every loaded enemy on you, the golem on the really thin Mountaintops bridge can snipe you regardless of where you are in Consecrated Snowfields as long as there’s no cover

[opaque sigil]

WHAT

[lone crown]

Which is ridiculous

[lone crown]

Yeah its so funny

[opaque sigil]

Is there footage of that or something because that’s the funniest shit

[lone crown]

I saw it in a challenge runner video once but i forgot who and what video

[opaque sigil]

Fair enough

[lone crown]

Its just stupid

[opaque sigil]

But why though

[lone crown]

And i know about the lobster range one cause zullie made a video on that

Very cool technical fromsoft youtuber

[opaque sigil]

Oh also can I just say fuck the bears harder than radahn

I hate the bears

[lone crown]

Have you ever spotted any bears in the dlc

[opaque sigil]

I don’t think so

If I had I would’ve run past them without a second thought though

[oblique musk]

https://youtu.be/uEGgHFaoPuo?si=EDy2bsbglmXLhcfD&t=4347

[lament gale]

ah yes, silksong discussion

[opaque sigil]

I didn’t see the lobster shoot but I believe you

[oblique musk]

I was referring to the golem

[opaque sigil]

Oh

Also goofy

[mortal bluff]

Who would win in fight

[opaque sigil]

But makes a bit more sense

[atomic sparrow]

left

[lone crown]

AHA thanks

I remember bushy now yeah

[opaque sigil]

I realize I misread but regardless golem range is also funny

[lone crown]

Lobster range is also ridiculous

[opaque sigil]

Also lmao the albinauric archers

Consecrated snowfields is basically like that anyways

[lone crown]

Zullie talks about the range here

https://youtu.be/RTeyOSLrcjE?si=v5A8vKzuntbdLXAN

Zullie’s videos are short-form and no talking and its a cool vibe

[opaque sigil]

The lobsters and crabs being as aggressive and dangerous as they are is something

[lone crown]

The crabs arent even a unique ER asset but they doubled down and made a unique one anyway in the form of lobsters

[opaque sigil]

Does er reuse enemies like that? I guess there was no reason to assume otherwise

[lone crown]

Ulcerated tree spirits were an unused boss concept from DS3 brought back to life, we’re able to tell cause of the ai name or something and also the similarity it has with another DS3 asset

[opaque sigil]

I see

[lone crown]

Yes they do reuse some assets

Like the dlc man-flies are in the ds3 dlc but look totally different of course

[opaque sigil]

Oh aren’t basilisks in another from game too? Idk where I heard that

[lone crown]

Yep

In er they look different but their moves and animations are identical

[opaque sigil]

Bastards

[lone crown]

In ER they exaggerate the aquatic features cause death has a connection to water in ER

[oblique musk]

And also the fake eyes were changed to look like Godwyn's

[lone crown]

Tammo has yet to meet godwyn… but godwyn has already met tammo many many many times

[opaque sigil]

I have no idea what that means

[lone crown]

I wont tell you unless you see him first then ill explain

[opaque sigil]

I went through the sewers all I found was a door I couldn’t open

Frenzied flame proscription or something

[lone crown]

Oh you’re there? Go back to that room and search for a fake wall

[opaque sigil]

Hmm

[violet path]

has anyone here played detroit

[opaque sigil]

When I do my second playthrough I’ll try to be more thorough I really blasted past a lot of shit

[lone crown]

A lot of it isnt too important

[lone crown]

Morgott and mohg had their differences but even they collectively wanted nobody to find that shit

[opaque sigil]

I’m assuming it’s the three fingers or whatever behind there

[lone crown]

So the fake mohg clone was there and if you try to go there before defeating morgott it’s blocked off

[opaque sigil]

There was a guy in mountaintops who yelled at me about that for a bit

[lone crown]

Yeah its tied to an ending you cant get in this playthrough

[opaque sigil]

Using that instead of the giant fire to burn the erdtree?

[lone crown]

Using yourself instead of melina

[opaque sigil]

I guess Melina can survive but I’m not sure she’d be happy about that

[lone crown]

You deny her purpose and thats not even the biggest issue

You become the lord of frenzied flame which is the same as being omnicidal

[opaque sigil]

Yeah the weirdo said something about that too

[south vigil]

June 12

[lone crown]

June 12

[opaque sigil]

Isn’t that like in two days

Dunno if it’s happening

[lone crown]

It will be news day for sure trust

[opaque sigil]

Every news agency shuts down for a day

[brittle arch]

I wonder why people buy this instead of the classic sand shit box

[lone crown]

Its crazy how libra’s theme makes that one boss theme feel tame

[brittle arch]

and my cat actually only sh outsite

[cunning geode]

who gave these litter boxes access to the flood controls for the market

[brittle arch]

what is flood controls for the market

[cunning geode]

it says they flooded the market

[lone crown]

Its a classic wombat joke

[cunning geode]

is that analogous to a dad joke

[lone crown]

Perchance

[opaque sigil]

I still need to actually listen to the Libra theme alone

Only heard it in game so far where it’s good but can’t exactly focus on it

[lone crown]

Its a mess

[brittle arch]

what is analogous

[lone crown]

It makes me feel like its straight up from another planet in ER

Some deity showed up for fun

[opaque sigil]

Satan popped in for a quick fistfight

[lone crown]

Something i notice about nightlord design is they arent given a large amount of combo variations intentionally to compensate for the minimal amount of time you get to learn the boss, which makes it easier to adapt enough to kill shit even on your first try

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, I definitely noticed that

[lone crown]

Like darkdrift for instance is very readable and even for the second phase he does like two, maybe three kinds of new attack chains

[opaque sigil]

I will say the enhanced darkdrift kinda eschews that doesn’t he

With the new twinblade stuff

[lone crown]

Enhanced darkdrift though hell nah

Throw everything out the window

[lone crown]

||Give him a bow, give him the DS3 aldrich arrow rain, give him the nuke, give him a fuckass twinblade combo that Executor mains will drool over the thought of deflecting||

[opaque sigil]

Enhanced heolstor I need enhanced heolstor

[merry bridge]

koalas are stupid

[cunning geode]

meeeee

[opaque sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/libra-equilibrious-beast-rage-enraged-gif-10771914981395534458

[cunning geode]

so cool

[glad hazel]

Literal Smooth Brains

[stuck stratus]

any skong news today?

[lone crown]

Definitely in the Top 3 of the nightlords

[opaque sigil]

I sent my list I’m pretty sure

[lone crown]

Yeah you did

[opaque sigil]

I have him 3rd after darkdrift and night aspect

[lone crown]

Those three are peak

Caligo follows

[opaque sigil]

After playing er I think heolstor might be my favorite still

[lone crown]

Ive started to grow more fond of pest when i understood their vibe more

[opaque sigil]

Pest is… fine

[lone crown]

They feel like two best friends against the world

[opaque sigil]

Maris is the only one I think is a genuinely bad fight

And even that’s kind of grown on me a bit?

[lone crown]

Same

I just wish the fight was shorter bruh

At least in phase 2 it speeds up cause more jellyfish and destroying the nukes send it back to augur

[opaque sigil]

Yeah

[lone crown]

He’s got that DS3 feel

[opaque sigil]

He’s also good at keeping pressure up while still having good flashy spectacle stuff

||him tearing the skybox open will never not be the coolest shit||

[umbral ether]

does rembrance affect matchmaking

[opaque sigil]

Some of them break it big time

The ones to defeat a specific nightlord in my experience

[umbral ether]

i am doing the first wydler rembrance

[opaque sigil]

Then you should be able to matchmake

If you can’t it’s probably doable solo

[umbral ether]

i think i just have to find a certain cave and kill a crystaline

[opaque sigil]

Yeah that’s not so bad

Especially if you charge your ult first

[trim estuary]

DEEPWOKEN REFERENCE

[lone crown]

Bro doesnt even need a cutscene for his entrance to be cool

[swift sand]

pointy sulyvahn

also his ost is such a banger

[opaque sigil]

I do appreciate that some of the nightlords have different intros

The caligo one is insane

[lone crown]

This guy was planned to be the final boss in DS3 at some point but the idea never went through and he’s just a midboss now

[swift sand]

everything about the guy is so awesome except for his character

[lone crown]

||Nightreign feels like a revival of that entire idea||

[swift sand]

because hes like the most evil guy in the game

[swift sand]

though i think that would have been incredibly hype

soul of cinder probably works better as a conclusion to the series

[lone crown]

Absolutely

Soul of cinder is perfect

As an end to the trilogy

[swift sand]

plin plin plon

thank you miyazaki for inventing difficulty

[lone crown]

Lanky bosses with capes and crowns with multiple weapons are always the coolest

[swift sand]

factual

[opaque sigil]

The urge to post e33 spoilers

[swift sand]

thats my cue to leave good day yall

[opaque sigil]

I’m not gonna do it

[fallow tusk]

What in the trending gifs is this

[lone crown]

@opaque sigil Wake up new third phase restoration made

[lone crown]

....

My opinions on pest may have changed now

[opaque sigil]

I have no idea what's happening but I love it

???

what??? ||surely that's not the only way you damage animus||

oh no you can just ||hit the one it's in||

[lament mango]

Naw, it would have been much better if when you get its first health bar down.... IT TURNS INTO NASSANDRA

GOOD OLD NASHY D FROM DS2

[opaque sigil]

it also looks like ||they don't use the stupid annoying charge in phase 3 which makes it a better fight instantly||

I would never have guessed that's what it would be

[lone crown]

The thumbnail for the video shows an attack that didnt even happen in the footage

Wow thats interesting

[lament mango]

Legit tho imagine how shit its be if instead of gwyn and the "Plin Plin Plong" they just being back fucking nassandra

[lone crown]

Not in a million years

[opaque sigil]

y'know in some ways it makes more sense than the fight being how it is now

||the bugs sharing a health bar is a bit odd||

[lone crown]

||Faurtis can keep getting revived but is still important to take down as yeah it damages the fire butterfly occupying it||

[opaque sigil]

yeah

[lone crown]

Which is good for melee

[opaque sigil]

I wonder if ||gnoster even can be revived||

[lone crown]

Hopefully not

[opaque sigil]

gotta imagine it can and it does the thumbnail thing

this looks like an enhanced version of its attack

[lone crown]

Man we're in for a ride huh

I wasnt expecting such a change for pest

[opaque sigil]

I can't wait

[lone crown]

Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn

THIS MONTH TOO

[opaque sigil]

got all achievements just in time

[lone crown]

Real

[main helm]

dung offender

[opaque sigil]

It is possible the enhanced nightlords will be a drip feed

[lament mango]

Ngl Part of me hopes this is only for after you kill them once

Or maybe even a exclusive "Hard" expedition

[lone crown]

Guess we'll see

[lone crown]

Yeah it absolutely will not be available off rip

[lament mango]

I can't wait to fight gladius, only for him to split into 3.... and for each dog to grow 2 more heads

And then those dogs split into 3 and now im fighting 9 dogs

[lone crown]

Game will crash if that were to happen

[full rune]

this isn't the subreddit

[opaque sigil]

simply cast elden stars and they'll all stagger

[lament mango]

New game mode: Oops all gladius

Tho I will say if they make it so that the nightlords weapon or a weapon or spell themed after them us added to the weapon pool if you beat the enhanced version of them

Id do it no issues

[opaque sigil]

I need darkdrift's sword

holy too so probably faith scaling

[lament mango]

Legit, im a sucker for good loot. Relics are cool and all but I wanna beat a mfer to death with the same thing a mfer beat me to death with

[queen hazel]

still can make memes

[lament mango]

Me fighting gladius with their own chain sword:

https://tenor.com/view/station19-andy-herrera-hows-it-feel-how-does-it-feel-how-do-you-feel-about-it-gif-25015270

[lone crown]

I feel like I can beat libra at level 1 lets see

A regular ass run, if i can even make it

[opaque sigil]

good luck

[lament mango]

New challenge run, can I beat every nightlord with every class, solo?

No, no i can't sorry

[fringe trout]

Tsk tsk

[full rune]

we actually have a meme channel!!

[opaque sigil]

honestly the only nightfarer I think it's entirely unreasonable to do solo wins with is recluse

and even then idk maybe if you get lucky, it's not like she can't do the damage you just got no aggro control

[harsh yarrow]

a thing I notced in the Xbox clips we got

noticed*
The needle toss isnt a spell, it must be a movement/combat option

Takes 1 spool of silk, and returns it on impact

I guess that changed between the Edge Magazine and now

yeah, just checked back at the edge magazine, theres really nothing else that the spell sprite could be, imo

[oblique musk]

Is there a "cleaned-up" version of these clips I'm not aware of? If so, I would really like to see it please

[unique lance]

I just found a 5 minute gameplay video of silksong randomly scrolling on tiktok

Just silksong gameplay no music

I don’t think this was in the trailer

[harsh yarrow]

Not really

Best I have is here, and its kinda low res

[harsh yarrow]

Back in 2019 there was a demo at E3, theres a bunch of footage from people playing that

[pallid plinth]

these enemies wanna kill you so bad

[unique lance]

Did the demo involve getting multiple mask shards?

[harsh yarrow]

Yep

[oblique musk]

This is exactly what I wanted thank you so much

[harsh yarrow]

2 I believe

[unique lance]

Oh damn ok nvm

The video I saw the person got his third shard

[harsh yarrow]

There might've been more, its been awhile since I watched any demo footage

[unique lance]

And found a silk recharger, equivalent to a soul totem

[median fractal]

Is it just me that fucking despises people using demo footage in videos

[opaque sigil]

it was demo footage

[median fractal]

I dont really mind people telling it to me but I want to see it myself lol

[harsh yarrow]

Its seen in both the platforming and the fly nest arena

[unique lance]

I JUST FOUND ANOTHER 5 minute video, this one is in a completely new area, last one was in the lava zone, this one’s in like a forrest area and they fight some sort of bee boss

[harsh yarrow]

Yeah

[unique lance]

This was also in the demo?

[harsh yarrow]

The demo was composed of two areas, Moss Grotto (the starting area)

[median fractal]

Isnt that grotto

[harsh yarrow]

and Deep Docks, which seems to be a mid-early game area

[median fractal]

Fungal wastes esque I assume

Progression wise

[cerulean sable]

were about to get towed by the wyrms, and weird insects in 4 months 😭

[harsh yarrow]

More Greenpath, IDK

[median fractal]

can tfucking wait for hornet movement its so damn fluid rahh

[harsh yarrow]

You have your first spell, and your first tool

[opaque sigil]

nobody on tiktok has exclusive footage

[median fractal]

Hm maybe. Said Fungal Wastes because it is just objectively more difficult than Greenpath

If its the second area then its a greenpath probably yeah :P

[merry bridge]

i wonder if the quest system is still in the game

[harsh yarrow]

sadly we cant know if its the first or second area lol

[median fractal]

It definitely is

[harsh yarrow]

All we know is the very early game

[median fractal]

No reason to be scrapped

And also still on the steam page and all

[harsh yarrow]

The Steam page is barely ever updated

[sinful flare]

i am updated

[merry bridge]

regular hk hasnt even had new screenshots

[median fractal]

Huh? Didnt people literally play the demo?

[harsh yarrow]

Its not impossible, the board did seem to get removed from Bellhart in the latetest Nintendo screenshots

We dont know how they're connected

[median fractal]

I think you may need to unlock it

Doubt it just sits there

[harsh yarrow]

The demo just jumps from the Moss Church to part of Deep Docks

When we know theres bonebottom between them

and a weavers den

and a section of the Marrow

[merry bridge]

speaking of weavers

i wonder what they will do minus what we know of in trailers

[median fractal]

Oh hm interesting

[harsh yarrow]

Help Hornet, somehow ;3

[real river]

SILKSONG when, im dying to see naked hornet 😔

[normal token]

The town is in ruins, it could just get added later when you do more story stuff that makes the town livelier

[merry bridge]

what i wanna know is if some of them can be talked to

like dialouge

[median fractal]

Actually I doubt all of them will help hornet

[harsh yarrow]

Thats what Im thinking

[marsh spoke]

it would be crazier if you couldn't talk to them

[lament mango]

Man can't wait for hornet to go "This really was.... a hollow knight silksong by Team cherry"

[merry bridge]

and i wonder if some of them will fight you instead yeah

[median fractal]

The kingdom is haunted by silk and song, silk = weavers and we know that for a fact. Pharloom is also supposedly their homeland

Not saying theyre fully responsible for whatever is happeming with silk but some of it maybe

[sick plank]

do you hear the people sing sing the song of silk

[merry bridge]

i also wanna know one random nitpick, if that one lone weaver we see in hk will appear again or if it was just some nod

[sick plank]

you scared it away

[merry bridge]

good

[sick plank]

:(

[pallid plinth]

You will leave pharloom for one segment of the game to fight the knight

[median fractal]

I am guessing theres gonna be at least 1 weaver related boss in the game

[sick plank]

I think hornet will be important somehow

[median fractal]

I mean, the game's description has always stated somethinf about learninf secrets tied to Hornet's past

[merry bridge]

aka more lore but not as vague as the previous game

[tawny storm]

tomorrow

[neon adder]

They just fucking dropped a Splatoon spinoff and a 30 new weapon kits on us out of nowhere
What the hell Nintendo

[mortal bluff]

God only knows. As well as a large handful of Australians and a couple Americans

[merry bridge]

just get a steam key bro

smh

[neon adder]

Say what

[pallid plinth]

I got mine

[merry bridge]

das epic bro

[cerulean sable]

still betting were getting sprint the moment we wake up on the Church Keeper's area

[pallid plinth]

DBSB3272GLOABB

[oblique musk]

It's me, I'm a couple Americans

[cerulean sable]

and the in story reason is Hornet lost her strength on the fall

[cunning geode]

she got gobsmacked

[harsh yarrow]

And the time in the cage

[neon adder]

Something something welcome to the underground

[atomic sparrow]

🗣️ WELCOME TO THE UNDERGROUND !!!

HOW WAS THE FALL ??? 💯 🔥

[normal token]

I really hope so, would speed up the movement a lot

[cerulean sable]

ye

also

also some guy said this looks a bit clunkier compared to the Knight and hes worried they sacrificed the smoothness for complexity

bro get new eyes 😭

[harsh yarrow]

I have a friend who thinks its the exact same game as Hollow Knight with a new coat of paint...

[opaque sigil]

some people will say anything to find reasons to be upset

[cerulean sable]

bro thats literally all i want

[normal token]

I think it's just the shitty recording that's obstructing what they're seeing

[harsh yarrow]

Silksong is far more than just Hollow Knight 2

[normal token]

As Graig says, it will look far better on your screen

[cerulean sable]

i mean the statement itself is disingenous but unironically the biggest wishlist for Silksong to me is more Hollow Knight

[opaque sigil]

anyways if you haven't played prince of persia the lost crown play it that shit has some clean combos and good movement

[harsh yarrow]

Same here

[atomic sparrow]

hold on was that a back step at the end there

[cerulean sable]

"wow these are just fries but they added more flavoring to the powder and its a bit crispier" yeah bro thats good enough for me

[neon adder]

Mmmmmm it’ll take longer to master than the Knight’s movement, I think

[cerulean sable]

ye

[lone crown]

It took me everything I had

[opaque sigil]

is that the libra run

[lone crown]

Yes

It lasted this fucking long bruh I had to stall out the duo

[opaque sigil]

unfortunate night boss

[lone crown]

I got chip damage with my grapple hook too 😭

[opaque sigil]

shoulda picked up a common bow somewhere

[lone crown]

This is the first time ive made it to a nightlord at level 1 and im going to be cooked

[opaque sigil]

why would you do libra and not gladius 😭

[lone crown]

Before I begin i need to figure out why my screen record hasnt been working

[lone crown]

Fuck me ig

[opaque sigil]

sure hope the fix doesn't require a game restart

[harsh yarrow]

Decent chance that Silksong catches on as more of a speed game, HK has a good speed running scene, but Hornets more in-depth movement might make it more interesting to watch a run

Without needing 4+ people chasing the speedrunner

(Fireborns Vessel Hunt my beloved)

[atomic sparrow]

hey we got wall cling storage

once I get silksong I'll speedrun to get reaper crest ASAP

I need that original pogo or else I'm cooked

[open narwhal]

i miss her

[harsh yarrow]

thats not nearly as cool as Hornets movement

[neon adder]

Y’all got any fast-paced movement
We got Wall-Cling Storage

[open narwhal]

shrogo

[marsh spoke]

hello cool

[open narwhal]

ure literally looking into a mirror hi super cool awesome

[marsh spoke]

youre looking into a mirror actually its crazy but its true

[lone crown]

Why is my thing not recording

[harsh yarrow]

Hollow Knight has speedrunning tech, but its really not all that cool looking or fun to watch

[open narwhal]

do y'all think skong will have a similar amount of bugs as release HK

[atomic sparrow]

no there will be more

[opaque sigil]

idk how to troubleshoot it really, are you sure it's set to background record?

[harsh yarrow]

Wheres the list of all the bugs we've seen? XD

[lone crown]

I mean i use the xbox recording thing

[opaque sigil]

oh

yeah I definitely can't comment about that

[harsh yarrow]

Eh, probably

[lone crown]

Ok i fixed it

[harsh yarrow]

Its a larger game, but they're also a bit more experienced now

[lone crown]

Or just made a temporary solution

[harsh yarrow]

Programing bugs*

[opaque sigil]

have fun with libra definitely sounds doable at level 1

[coarse leaf]

I just saw gris's game icon on the corner of my ps5 game library and it looked like hornet as the game icon

My heart skipped a beat

[neon adder]

She’s watching you

[opaque sigil]

libra's no joke even getting close is big

[lone crown]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fZB4xIIkIo
Audio is choppy but man I fumbled so hard at the end

[swift sand]

also yall think im overleveled for soul of cinder?

[lone crown]

Not audio i mean footage

[clever socket]

jane get the banana

[opaque sigil]

surprised he didn't oneshot tbh

[lone crown]

Iirc his stuff does oneshot other than the madness

Oh wait no not a single hit of the machine gun

[sick plank]

i think its pretty funny how the only 2 times anyone has addressed me by name here they called me jane (thats not my name)

[lone crown]

Not in phase 1 at least

[opaque sigil]

what actually is the consequence for being too low level to use a weapon? I know you can't use the skill, but you can still swing it. Does it do less damage?

[heady iron]

Deltarune son
or Elden Ring daughter

[sick plank]

gay thot daughter

[opaque sigil]

also wow I just noticed the 10 minute attempt

[lone crown]

Far less damage yeah it becomes useless and you cant use its skill

[quartz cave]

CHAT hop on mong

[lone crown]

Man if I had landed that ult and had the relic which gave me a bleed armament i wouldve won

[clever socket]

why is this ever a debate
both!

[lone crown]

I now realize the value of those relics when you're stuck with starting weapon

[opaque sigil]

I always forget how crazy libra's design is

[sick plank]

the deltarune "son" is probably non binary (good for them)

[clever socket]

kralsei is canon :3

[lament mango]

Wdym of course their binary, deltarune is a video game its made of binary

[sick plank]

yeah but ralsei is a girl

[lament mango]

01100111100010101010 and all thaf

[clever socket]

ralsei is NOT a girl

[sick plank]

coding a game in trinary just to spite you

[lament mango]

Do it. No balls

[sick plank]

she is if i have anything to say about it

[clever socket]

quantum computing is on another level because its a spectrum

[smoky nebula]

Yeah but trinary can be reduced to binary
Binary is at the root of all things

[lament mango]

Isn't that just "Its both 1 and 0 until directly observed"?

In which case the possibilities collapse on themselves and its determined to he either zero or one

[sick plank]

current computers already run on trinary (1, 0, no value)

[clever socket]

I think its more of like a probability? so it is a spectrum

like 70% 1

[clever socket]

0 is no value

[lament mango]

Damn, you really out here saying Kris has no value? Shame on you /sarcasm

[opaque sigil]

oof

[lone crown]

What discourages me from retrying the most is the day 2 boss

[lament mango]

I thought zero was negative

[lone crown]

Idk why I tried delaying my ult

[opaque sigil]

it's not always gonna be godskin duo but yeah fair

[sick plank]

no value is stored as 0 but they are not to be confused

[lone crown]

Im so mad I just walked into that

[clever socket]

no negatives in binary

1 or 0 its super simple

[lone crown]

Im pretty confident the other boss in Libra's pool is a fucking Death Rite Bird so yeah

[sick plank]

the sign bit:

[opaque sigil]

bruh

just do gladius

[clever socket]

its still 0 or 1. it can be interpreted as something like an integer with a sign yes

[lone crown]

True but libra is so fun

[lament mango]

Brb am launching night reign into the sun

[lone crown]

I guess im just gonna wait til a mod drops for refights that actually functions

[lament mango]

Was fucking fumbled and almost wrote night rune, what cursed as fuck crossocwr would that be

[sick plank]

so in trinary we get a bonus third sign

[clever socket]

how hard/fun is new elden ring dlc compared to previous one?

[lone crown]

Its not a DLC

[lament mango]

I liked shadows. Final boss is fun tho he's rewards lame

[clever socket]

so it trinary 1 0 -1?

[sick plank]

no its more like 1 -1 and ?1

[lament mango]

So I was right there WAS a negative

?1

[lone crown]

Its like they decided the remembrance boss weapon scaling while playing blindfolded dart toss

[lament mango]

Your making that up

[sick plank]

yeah im always making shit up

call me jane "making shit up" silksong

[clever socket]

... I will stick to binary

[lament mango]

This is like "Oh there isn't 4 stages kf matter we also have super solids"

[trim estuary]

It’s a roguelite and it’s pretty fun

[sick plank]

explain the they pronouns then liberal

[lament mango]

Their made of multitudes

[clever socket]

I played the eldree dlc or whatever it got my ass handed to me much more than in the standart game. didn't finish it either.

[lament mango]

They are literally 4 mother fuckers in a trench coat

[trim estuary]

well yeah you gotta get the scadutree fragments or whatever

[sick plank]

thats crazy im 7 mfs in a trench coat

[clever socket]

easy its 2 bits

[trim estuary]

Also this one is meant to be played with two other players the whole time

[lament mango]

Wait is everyone here just a buncha people in trench coats?

[trim estuary]

Uhhhhh

[sick plank]

when do we all get one big trench coat to share

[dense cove]

When silksong comes out 😔

[opaque sigil]

honestly with that scaling at times the dlc felt easier

[lament mango]

Yeah I tried solo recently, and kinda feels like all tbey did was give you a free revive

[lone crown]

@opaque sigil Look at the time differences bruh THAT WAS A ONE HOUR RUN

[trim estuary]

Ask again in two days

[trim estuary]

You get like 2 or 3x runes or something

[opaque sigil]

BRUH

that's gotta be so much time in night bosses what

[smoky nebula]

Explain singular they predating singular you then!

[snow phoenix]

Damn

[lament mango]

Mfer doing more solo then me and my entire three man squad

[lone crown]

Yeah not touching level 1 again that was not fun OTHER than the nightlord attempt

[sick plank]

plural you is stupid and should be removed from the timeline forward and back

[trim estuary]

6 minute centipede demon fight, run was doomed from the start

[opaque sigil]

no he did like nothing that's a pretty empty day 2

[lament mango]

Idk im not a fucking linguist

[opaque sigil]

but it's level 1 really all that's important is flasks and smithing stones

[clever socket]

when starting the dlc it was really "fun" to get fucked up by some guy in a tomb like right at the entrance to new world. like a got all that gear and stuff and ready to burn the whole fucking word but some guy with a sword can just end me in 2 hits. felt a bit ridiculous

[sick plank]

theres a reason real spanish got rid of it (spain still has it sadly)

[obsidian owl]

i do tend to agree, plural you is fucked up

[lone crown]

I was searching for the damn madness boluses

Cause they permanently increase status resists

[viscid wind]

IS MY DISCORD ORKING

[smoky nebula]

Wtf Jane
Just say thou it's not that hard and only use you for plurals

[lone crown]

Up to Tier 9

[clever socket]

I wonder how's the ping situation. I live in the worlds arse

[opaque sigil]

reasonable

[obsidian owl]

uh no the reason plural you sucks is that it causes confusion, the castillian dialects… don’t

[lone crown]

Only got Tier 5

[sick plank]

or just never talk to more than one person

[viscid wind]

ID MY DISCORD ORKING

[trim estuary]

Much better than base game Elden Ring

[smoky nebula]

No you need to socialise

[trim estuary]

KINDA

[lament mango]

Instructions unclear i am now cursing all of mankind to 500 words a day

[viscid wind]

NO IT'S NOT

[sick plank]

microdose socializing by talking to one person at a time

[trim estuary]

Hello Kang

[obsidian owl]

estais aqui is unambigious, you are here isn’t

[lament mango]

If you speak or write more then 500 then you die

[sick plank]

you cant convince me "estais" is a real word

[clever socket]

maxx socializing by speaking to everyone at the same time

[obsidian owl]

it literally is

[sinful flare]

hi Zipprin

[smoky nebula]

I guess you can just add the all or an indicator of the amount of people you're talking to

[sick plank]

no the point is to not overwhelm your immune system

[lament mango]

Ain't a fair chunk of English just take from the French anyways

[sick plank]

english isnt a real language

[obsidian owl]

grammatically no

[lament mango]

And is the main reason why we should burn down the entire language

[smoky nebula]

All languages aren't real

Just like France

[sick plank]

theres only three languages worse than english

[obsidian owl]

wdym two

english is the worst, period

[smoky nebula]

None of the sounds we're making actually mean anything we just agree they mean something

[trim estuary]

Esperanto?

[sick plank]

sorry i forgot about polish

oh yeah esperanto nvm make that 4

[lament mango]

I mean Same with money

[smoky nebula]

Social concepts in a nutshell

[lament mango]

"Hello I have done labour for you, will you give me the paper we all agree is worth 3 hamburgers?"

[sick plank]

languages worse than english:

french
japanese
polish
esperanto

[obsidian owl]

🥴

[smoky nebula]

Like France isn't real

[lament mango]

Which japansese there's like 5 dialects

[smoky nebula]

Nor is any other nation but I specifically don't like france

[sick plank]

im sorry theres just no justifying having 3 writing systems especially if one of them is kanji

[obsidian owl]

ok that’s fair but like

[lament mango]

The best part of spaltoon 3 was knowing the FLIPPED THE EFFIEL TOWER

[obsidian owl]

i’d argue that’s not a fault of the language itself

[lone crown]

Oh tammo if you click on the left stick (super sprint button) on relics menu there's a filter

[lament mango]

THEY FLIPPED THE BITCH

[opaque sigil]

yeah I know about that

[lone crown]

Im stupid

[smoky nebula]

Doesn't one of those writing systems only exist for loanwords

[sick plank]

korean and chinese both reformed their entire writing systems to be actually good why cant japanese do that too

[lone crown]

Cause I DIDNT

[lament mango]

I mean they basicsllg just stole china's writing system didn't they

[trim estuary]

WHAT?!? SPOILERS!!!

[opaque sigil]

isn't there an icon telling you about it

[sick plank]

theres no real reason for kanji or katakana to exist

[lament mango]

It was literally in the reveal trailer

[sick plank]

but at least katakana is internally consistent

[obsidian owl]

the reformed chinese writing system is still kanji

[tall cargo]

there's no r eason for the letter u to exist just replace all instances of it with the letter v!

[trim estuary]

oh i haven’t played splatoon since Nintendo switch online released

[lament mango]

Yeah we're on splatoon 3 now

[lone crown]

I dont see it in the hud

[mortal bluff]

What do we all think the chance is that void plays a role in Silksong?

[smoky nebula]

Guys writing isn't real none of these symbols you're looking at to infer meaning actually mean anything

[lament mango]

I think. Idk i only own 2

[trim estuary]

I thought we were on Splatoon Raiders??

[sick plank]

having a logography makes sense with the grammatical structure of chinese

[umbral ether]

the hell is splatoon raiders

[trim estuary]

VERY high. Have you SEEN Sharpe?!

[lone crown]

Oh I found it nvm im stupid

[lament mango]

No thats like a free update to 3 I think

[obsidian owl]

omg i can’t understand this text because it soesn’t mean anything

[lone crown]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/586931790208434203/1232486756742598757/Sharpe_Attack.gif

[obsidian owl]

it’s still by far the worst part of the language and one of the worst languages to learn for anyone because of it

[viscid wind]

discord stopped working on my phone again and i cant seem to fix it aHHHHHHHHHHH

[sick plank]

but also like kanji arent consistent in pronunciation or meaning so theres no reason to use those over just drawing a picture

[trim estuary]

No that’s separate from Raiders

[lament mango]

Fuck is it

[umbral ether]

raiders is a spinoff according to the splatoon wiki

and is only on nintendo switch 2

[smoky nebula]

I love a good amount of social concepts I would love to learn how languages initially developed

[obsidian owl]

i’m not saying it has to be an alphabet but like, the reformed chinese writing system is barely better than the old one lol

[trim estuary]

That’s the guy that’s gonna turn Silksong into void!

okay i need to go to sleep i just called hornet Silksong

[mortal bluff]

It’s just… I miss you

[lament mango]

@trim estuary ok know why I was confused. Their releasing both raiders, a spin off game, AND a massive free update to platoon 3, which is its own separate thing

[smoky nebula]

Alp how would you feel if all languages used the international phonetic alphabet instead of their own alphabets

[young saffron]

They fucking lied to us wtf

[obsidian owl]

iirc a few current day creoles have been analysed on how they became what they are today

[obsidian owl]

nope

[mortal bluff]

Nah, we never reached the goal

[lone crown]

How in gods name did someone win with nothing
Did they drop all their loot to celebrate before the kill or something

[sick plank]

also chinese actually commits to having a logography every word in written chinese is logographic
japanese is a coward and only has the balls for half a logography

[opaque sigil]

I've seen people doing that immediately after

[mortal bluff]

Which actually may be a good thing?? What if the dev time for the abyss would have caused them to take a DLC approach to Silksong lol

[trim estuary]

Beat Caligo to death with their bare hands

[trim estuary]

This is why I believe we’re on the best HK kickstarter timeline

[sick plank]

even korean was purely logographic before sejong fixed it

[lone crown]

Roundtable is relaxing and much needed after that shitshow

[mortal bluff]

Though I am very curious what the reveal more stretchgoals would have shown after the abyss was met

[sick plank]

of course korean is easily the best of the three languages but the simplicity of the rest of chinese makes up for the logography and tones

japanese is just fucked in every single aspect

but its still better than polish

[warped umbra]

silly boi

[opaque sigil]

I do actually really prefer that version of roundtable

[mortal bluff]

Also, I will say the white palace has 2 bosses in its stretch goal, and I feel we kinda got that with white defender and pure vessel

[sick plank]

polish is the worst language by far

even esperanto is better

[obsidian owl]

i highly disagree about the simplicity of chinese making up for the writing and tones

[viscid wind]

Wordle 1453 4/6

⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜
⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜
🟩⬜⬜🟩⬜
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

[viscid wind]

omg i love how they look

[warped umbra]

i canmt wait until we have official art for all creatures

[sick plank]

also like. logographies look sick as fuck lets be real. even if they make the language harder to learn

[warped umbra]

i do wonder tho,.. how many enemies are even in silksong

[obsidian owl]

i would argue that tones make chinese a lot more complicated than other languages
sure, grammatically speaking the language is really simple, but tones are really hard to grasp if you don’t already speak a tonal language

[sick plank]

the reasons polish is hard (cases, declinations, etc) arent even like. fun

[lone crown]

original ER one is so mid

[obsidian owl]

cases and declinations are a thing in more than jusg polish 🥴

[lone crown]

Cant even hold a candle to previous hubs

[obsidian owl]

german has 4 cases, turkish has 6

[sick plank]

sure but on top of that polish words also look like wifi passwords

[opaque sigil]

yeah, and then once you do the fire everyone's just gone anyways

[mortal bluff]

Also tc promised us 8 new bosses in stretch goals (not including colosseum) and we got 13 so win win lol

[sick plank]

like fuck you mean "Przeciętnokowanoelektroencefalograficzny"

[obsidian owl]

eh

[lament mango]

For as much as shit as ds2 gets, I adore majula

[obsidian owl]

i mean we don’t speak the language, it’s hard to judgr

i’d argue english pronunciation is one of the worst out there though

[sick plank]

yeah theres a reason i dont speak the language

[warped umbra]

why does bro look like that

[sick plank]

english should just commit to being a logography

[grand kayak]

with the amount of service araraura has done for the community he better get at least a nod or something in the game

[lament mango]

Hunters dream is.... ok
Firelink ds1 is alright
Firelight in ds3 is great Tho

[obsidian owl]

easiest way to make french the world language again lol

[obsidian owl]

his service being… uploading a 20 second video everyday?

[sick plank]

and like, i have a polish gf and i used to live in poland

[lone crown]

Its so cool that Iron Menial individually thanks you depending on your Nightfarer for what they contribute to Roundtable

[opaque sigil]

they do? I need to talk to them more

[sick plank]

i know a grand total of 1 polish word (0 points for guessing which one)

[obsidian owl]

KURWA

[sick plank]

it is kurwa yes

[lone crown]

For Wylder he's thanked for polishing armaments, for Guardian its keeping a watch on the Roundtable's structure (relationships between characters)

[marsh spoke]

kuva

[opaque sigil]

I do really appreciate nightfarers getting involved in each others' remembrances

[obsidian owl]

gambling…

[sick plank]

GAMBHLING MENTIOEND

[opaque sigil]

like ||revenant calling out duchess for a duel to help get her mind off wylder||

[obsidian owl]

i should gamble my soma riven more

[sick plank]

i love gamblign

[opaque sigil]

it makes the nightfarers feel like more of an actual group

[marsh spoke]

personal usage or selling

[lone crown]

Ironeye's different, instead he asks Ironeye to teach him how to make arrows again

[obsidian owl]

depends on how good i get it

[lone crown]

Theres a super accurate family dynamic chart someone made

[sick plank]

i should study more spanish

[opaque sigil]

any chance it's findable

[marsh spoke]

personal use then

[sick plank]

i should actually become fluent in another language before i learn the first 10 seconds of 30 more languages

[obsidian owl]

i always need more plat…

[lone crown]

Nightreign spoilers for one thing with context

[coarse leaf]

learn canatonese NOW

[mortal bluff]

Do you all want hollowknight 3 or would you prefer a completely new game from team cherry?

[coarse leaf]

[marsh spoke]

i have Never made money from rivens so i cant help you with this

[obsidian owl]

then tell me how you made money

[opaque sigil]

this is just all true

[sick plank]

i am currently facing the hardest boss of the spanish language (the 18 tenses)

[marsh spoke]

i know guys who have though

[obsidian owl]

cuz i’m eternally broke

[marsh spoke]

selling sets

[sick plank]

but not the final boss

because theres still my worst enemy reflexive pronouns

[obsidian owl]

the only actually hard one is the subjunctive

[lone crown]

Do you know guardian lore yet

[opaque sigil]

no I've still not done many remembrances, I assume it's bad

[sick plank]

i dont think the subjunctive is hard either its just hard because theres so many of them

[lone crown]

Its kinda tragic yeah

[obsidian owl]

it’s hard to know when to use it mainly

like yeah, there are some things where it’s easy to know

[opaque sigil]

doesn't he like not wear a helmet because he failed his duties or something

[marsh spoke]

also generous money donations from my friend who had platinum

i am deep in platinum debt that i can never repay

[lone crown]

Yeah

[opaque sigil]

surely there were no severe consequences for that

[lone crown]

In the very first journal it mentions an old flock and a new flock (new flock being him and the nightfarers)

[obsidian owl]

it’s over

[lone crown]

First journal

[opaque sigil]

which is doubly sad because once their deed is done they won't see each other (and like three or four will just cease to exist, ig ironeye won't die so 3)

[sick plank]

please explain why reflexive pronouns are everywhere sometimes

[opaque sigil]

||wylder will die, duchess will fade away or something, revenant... well I assume revenant will die, but I guess maybe not?||

[harsh yarrow]

Just got "Broken Vessel" into service producing space science over my new Vulcanus base, yipee

[obsidian owl]

i wish i knew

that one i can’t call easy sadly

[harsh yarrow]

Its named after its cousin over Nauvis, which looked kinda similar to the Knight

[sick plank]

factorio space age beloved

[opaque sigil]

I think of revenants as undead who are resurrected specifically to perform a purpose and then once it's done they die again, and revenant fits this description pretty well but maybe she won't just die idk

[harsh yarrow]

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

FACTORIO SPACE AGE IS AMAZING

[reef hull]

maybe hornet reads the "daily pharloom news" newspaper written by araraura in pharloom

[harsh yarrow]

Heres The Knight chilling over Nauvis

[lone crown]

Most likely

[sick plank]

that direct feeding is really cursed i kinda love it

[harsh yarrow]

they've been a bit bored recently, the base down on Nauvis and long since ground to a halt as I've left entirely for Vulcanus

[grim loom]

Check out Steam database..SS was updated 33 m ago

[zinc pier]

I was just about to say lmao

[harsh yarrow]

eh, unless we get something substantial its just not worth speculating over

[zinc pier]

but yeah it doesn't mean anything to us unfortunately

[harsh yarrow]

Its just SteamDB noticing something changed, nothing more

[opaque sigil]

also is that like a thing that happens a lot? ||souls just going into dolls? Ranni did it but I assume that was with intentional magic||

[harsh yarrow]

It works quite nicely for early space platforms, keeps them small and easy to build

[sick plank]

i am silksong

[zinc pier]

all we know is it's not something publicly available on the steam page for the game and it's not a file change

[grim loom]

Like what?

[zinc pier]

those ar ethe only things we can for sure rule out but I imagine there are a ton of things they can change on the backend

[harsh yarrow]

Thats the thing- we dont know, SteamDB doesnt know, just something changed

[lone crown]

Yes, ranni does it, seluvis/pidia knows how to forcibly do it to people, and sellen knows how to do it also

[zinc pier]

steam has millions of things that it lets game devs do backend

[opaque sigil]

oh interesting

[lone crown]

But those are all practices, ||revenant's was purely vengeance and hatred||

[harsh yarrow]

Anyways- heres the Vulcanus base

[sick plank]

i love ranni ranni beloved ranni wife

[lone crown]

Which makes her aligned with death as opposed to the other examples

[zinc pier]

the new planets look so cool . . .

[harsh yarrow]

and uh... Nauvis is looking a bit rough now

[glass elk]

guys it was the King's Birthday (public holiday in Australia) on Monday, thats why they didn't update then

[harsh yarrow]

There uh, werent bitters everywhere when I left

[opaque sigil]

I see

[warped umbra]

wdym it clearly means silksong TOMORROW

[sick plank]

common experience every time you leave nauvis

[harsh yarrow]

All Nauvis is doing now is just processing uranium

[glass elk]

silksong YESTERDAY

[warped umbra]

that actually is a genuine reason btw, no one went to work on Monday

[harsh yarrow]

Mostly because Uranium is cool

[zinc pier]

do countrys with monarchs actually get days off for school or work in certain sectors for the monarchs birthdays?

[warped umbra]

everyone was off with their families

[glass elk]

yeah i was being serious, i wasn't silkposting

[warped umbra]

yeah i just wanted to back you up lol

[zinc pier]

oh I guess it would be tuesday in australia rn

[warped umbra]

incorrect

[sick plank]

i was playing space age with my gf and when we went to fulgora for the first time the second we landed our entire nauvis base was overrun by biters (defenses were more than enough when we left)

[glass elk]

but also silksong IN THE NEXT PLANCK TIME

[warped umbra]

its Wednesday

[zinc pier]

fuck . . .

[harsh yarrow]

and just because im proud of this design, heres Nauvis's Nuclear Reactor, was just about the last thing I personally built before I left for Vulcanus

[glass elk]

nah its wednesday

[zinc pier]

I overcorrected for timezones . . .

or I guess reverse corrected

[warped umbra]

source: i live in australia

[glass elk]

4:28 pm in Melbourne rn

[sick plank]

we had to split up so one of us could save nauvis and one of us could set up basic shit on fulgora
it was tragic

[warped umbra]

wait are you aussie as well

[glass elk]

ye

[warped umbra]

lmao we live in the same area

[zinc pier]

oh yeah? send a photo of you standing in the inbetween zone where there is neither up nor down that no one dares go. If you're a real australian you'd be able to do it

[warped umbra]

well Melbourne is huge but funny

[harsh yarrow]

I just decided to not build a proper wall, I could've, but I didnt want to

[sick plank]

i built an entire 10gb nuclear reactor on gleba when we landed the first time
she said it was probably overkill
(she was right)

[warped umbra]

government secrets

[glass elk]

lol yeah im in the Northeast (not comfortable with revealing any more)

[warped umbra]

i cannot expose

[warped umbra]

bro its a public server please do not

[zinc pier]

is that where they train team cherry to save the world?

[harsh yarrow]

Gleba just doesnt use much power outside of defenses, if you're using Tesla towers

[warped umbra]

im in the south east

[harsh yarrow]

but I love Gleba- one of my goals this run is to do Gleba properly

[glass elk]

oke

[zinc pier]

ok goodnight chat I need to sleep

[harsh yarrow]

IE- Gleba is fully self sufficent, rather than I ship everything in for rockets

[sick plank]

i just really didnt wanna worry about power on gleba
...i guess i accomplished that

[glass elk]

this is where they keep the skong release date btw

[harsh yarrow]

I should really start the Nauvis base on exporting all the Uraium it's built up

[warped umbra]

yeah ive driven past there before

real place in Australia

[undone shore]

A new [Skong] has touched the [Tomorrow for sure] :3

[harsh yarrow]

My main concern with that is that the base spooling up once more will royally piss off the biters

[glass elk]

context: this is Pine Gap a CIA occupied region "joint defence facility" that the US uses to commit war crimes conduct military operations from

[harsh yarrow]

Uranium is just really inefficent to launch

[sick plank]

i send lots of nuclear reactors and fuel cells to vulcanus all the time for. no reason in particular

[obsidian owl]

is this game over for gay bowser

are you gonna disappear on us

[harsh yarrow]

Vulcanus is litterally the worst planet to do that for XD

[glass elk]

guys the released date for Silksong is-

[sick plank]

no its not for power

[harsh yarrow]

Shipping Uranium for nukes though

Nukes are a great early game way to clear out demolishers

[sick plank]

the reactors are just fun little snacks for the worms

[harsh yarrow]

And with the power of mods, I can technically process carbon into Uranium ore...

Coal + Sulfuric Acid = Carbon
Carbon in a centrifuge = uranium ore

Ima go set up a factory for that, just because its cool as fuck

[sick plank]

yeah and then sulfuric acid into steam and steam into water and then use nuclear reactors + heat exchangers to turn the water back into steam

[marsh spoke]

this conversation worries me

[sick plank]

good

[harsh yarrow]

efficiency!

[undone shore]

Everyone gangsta until the graphite startes tap dancing

[sick plank]

no no its cool because its water that we just condensed from being boiled just for the sake of boiling it again for fun

[harsh yarrow]

I geniunely love that Factorio shows that Nuclear power is one of if not the best way to generate power that is currently achiveable

The one downside IRL is cost, turns out producing them is a long and involved process

[glass elk]

its neat but also its by a significant margin more expensive to construct than renewables per unit energy produced

[sick plank]

i also love that it shows solar power is easier to build at an absurdly large (larger than we'll ever realistically consume) scale but its fucking stupid to do it anyway because 1 solar panel takes about as long to build as the entire nuclear power grid

[harsh yarrow]

But their risks are extremely overstated, most waste is able to be reprocessed (90% or so can be turned back into fuel), and out've all options right now its certainly the easiest to scale

[sick plank]

nuclear power is incredibly dangerous if you drive a car into the reactor

[harsh yarrow]

No shit sherlock XD /j

[sick plank]

nuclear power is also a lot safer if you dont use uranium like a fucking idiot but uranium is what we get in factorio

uranium is just because its convenient to build nuclear power with the same stuff we build nuclear weapons with

[harsh yarrow]

the two well known incidents with nuclear reactors, Chernoybl and Fukishima, arent only down to the fact that they were nuclear reactors

its that the people running them were fucking idiots

[sick plank]

i caused both of these on purpose for fun

[undone shore]

I thought Chernobyl was caused by a chainsaw fight between two greek gods(source: Rick Riordan)

[harsh yarrow]

The issue that doomed Fukishima was well known, there were engineers trying to get the government to raise the flood walls for awhile before the tsunami

[glass elk]

i am pro keeping existing nuclear plants but anti constructing new ones if renewables are on the table (not a safety concern but an opportunity cost concern)
I am double anti removing nuclear plants if they will be replaced with fossil fuels

[harsh yarrow]

Chernoybl was a flawed design, and an inexperienced crew trying to run one

Renewables are really hard to scale properly

[sick plank]

my gf has infodumped to me a lot about chernobyl

[undone shore]

It's still insane how that event could have possibly doomed an entire continent if not for the efforts of three divers

[harsh yarrow]

Nuclear reactors have their own problems, but compared to some other options are probably one of the least enviromentally damaging options

[sick plank]

did anything ever happen with that big nuclear fusion breakthrough last year

[harsh yarrow]

Hydropower takes up alot of space, and can destroy ecosystems for the resevoirs they need for opperation

Wind is very very good at killing birds

[undone shore]

I mean, compared to everything, Wind is practically an infinite resource

[sick plank]

solar is really good for ups

[harsh yarrow]

Solar is Solar, and takes up a ton of space, and requires a proper power storage solution that we really dont have yet (other than pump storage, but that has other issues)

[undone shore]

Just cost heavy to maintain

[harsh yarrow]

And cost heavy on the bird population ;3

[sick plank]

nuclear is the sexiest form of power generation that we have right now imo

[undone shore]

How else am I gonna get my strips?

[harsh yarrow]

Nuclear Power is just geniunely the best option for a large-scale power source for who knows how long

Least until we can figure out Fusion, imo

[sick plank]

i need fusion to happen in my lifetime

nuclear fusion would be cool too

[harsh yarrow]

Its as close to green as we can get without having extremely strict enviromental considerations, or without only working 1/2 the time

Also helps that Uraium is very famouly a green rock ;3

[sick plank]

its pretty green because uranium is gre- fuck you beat me to it

we should build a dyson ring

imagine how sick a dyson ring would look in the sky

like blocking out little bands of the sun

i mean it probably wouldnt be visible because its so far away but still

[somber hare]

and then the earth gets .001% cooler and we all die

[harsh yarrow]

we do not have the industrial infrastructure for any large scale orbital construction XD

[sick plank]
