sk-discussion

[cedar sedge]

why

[barren sequoia]

Radahn was really doing helluva a lot

[opaque sigil]

have you not seen the ending cutscene

[cold maple]

their vow was an agreement

[tame atlas]

So did ACMI just straight up lie about Silksong news?

[cold maple]

it was even in the elden dlc book

[barren sequoia]

Really would like more star related stuff if more content was to be released

[cold maple]

radahn knew of all of this

[cedar sedge]

he is asking him to agree

[barren sequoia]

The falling star beasts and all that

[cedar sedge]

it never said that he agreed

[barren sequoia]

Its like 7am there

Just wait another 5-7 hours

[tame atlas]

oh ok

[opaque sigil]

he's double checking that radahn would make good on a vow that already existed

[quaint bolt]

This is very weird
New icon color sucks

[timid ridge]

the knight vs the tarnished who would win

[cold maple]

the Hoonter

[lone crown]

The twinbird

[barren sequoia]

I feel like there is absolutely no reason for malenia to ever fight radahn if it was not from her brother wishes

[cold maple]

their fight makes no sense

[timid ridge]

Pisscord

[opaque sigil]

depends on when

[cold maple]

with dlc context

just go with it

[quaint bolt]

Its real

[opaque sigil]

post void heart the knight probably wins, before idk toss up

[barren sequoia]

We dont know everything about the rune lore but it seems like malenia only fought radahn

And its not because hes the firsy enemy either

She passed by others she couldve fought and probably kill

She sought his ass out

[lone crown]

Godrick got humiliated

[cold maple]

she humbled godrick cuz he was talking shit

[cedar sedge]

yea but then why would he send malenia to fight radahn and whisper it to him again? why would he have to die? i don't think radahn ever agreed and it's just miquella kind of forcing him to, but again, you're never gonna get most of the stuff stated in a miyazaki game

[cold maple]

ur asking great questions no one has the answer to

hence plot/lore criticisms

[opaque sigil]

like I said, miquella seems to think there was at one point an agreement, that doesn't mean miquella was correct or that radahn couldn't have revoked it at some point

[barren sequoia]

I think radahn probably forsake miquella

[cedar sedge]

mate you're criticizing something that is deliberately left un-answered, that's the point of the narrative... to connect the dots yourself and theorize about it

[barren sequoia]

By the time he and miquella fight he already carries the stars

[cold maple]

i’m fine with ambiguous lore

[barren sequoia]

And with the shattering happening he probably founded new ambitions himself

[cold maple]

it’s direct plot stuff that’s clearly sign of rewrites that i don’t like

[lone crown]

Didnt radahn try taking the capital

[cold maple]

he did the madman

[lone crown]

But got pushed out by morgott via the opening cinematic

[opaque sigil]

no
you don't think
the event that precipitated a war between the demigods might have changed allegiances

[cold maple]

Margott whipped him back to caelid

[lone crown]

Morgott is an underrated goat

Managed to prevent any faction from taking over during the shattering

[fiery burrow]

Ambiguous lore is a crutch for bad writers, like subtext

[cold maple]

Morgott

OMEN KING

[cold maple]

basically what happened is events happened and we impose our own headcanon on why they did

[barren sequoia]

Plus out of all the demigods other than morgott he seems the most purely aligned with the golden order

[cold maple]

it’s fromsoft fool proof

they can just say or do anything

don’t explain it

even if it’s direct plot significance

and fans will just say it’s fromsoft

[barren sequoia]

His main thing is he gave up half his lineage to follow in the steps of his father and the order

Somewhat

[cold maple]

it could contradict everything that’s been stated

[barren sequoia]

He was still a mage through and through

[cold maple]

and fans will just say it’s fromsoft

[fiery burrow]

Like I said, bad writing

[barren sequoia]

Polar opposite of rykdard which is one of the biggest traitors

Id say rykard is worse than ranni

[lone crown]

Didnt GRRM literally write the world of elden ring as a base while exchanging ideas with miyazaki

[barren sequoia]

Ye

[cold maple]

yeah he wrote background stuff

[cedar sedge]

the thing is that it is not that ambigous, if it is implied that miquella is a monster you can understand easily the kind of decisions and actions the character would make.. radahn is reborn as a puppy and zombie to serve Miquella, that's the whole point of the character being a benevolent figure that actually makes atrocious things

[fiery burrow]

Do Miquella apologists even exist

[cedar sedge]

that is not true, fromsoftware tells stories differently... and it is a design that perfectly fits a game, if it were to be another medium i would say so

[cold maple]

miquella wasn’t implied to be a monster in base game, just unsettling

i’d say

[barren sequoia]

Miquella was implied to a bettter dude

[cedar sedge]

there's a line of dialogue that says "Miquella is a monster"

[barren sequoia]

St trina not so much

[cedar sedge]

like one of the most important dialogues

[cold maple]

who said that

[cedar sedge]

ansbach

[lone crown]

A demigod being normal? Impossible!

[cold maple]

that’s dlc

not base game

[cedar sedge]

yea and

[cold maple]

i said base game

[barren sequoia]

Like st trina in the base game does some unsettling things

[cedar sedge]

mh ok? what's the issue i don't get it

[cold maple]

of course they’re gonna say he’s a monster in the dlc

[barren sequoia]

His whole eternal sleep gimmick

[cedar sedge]

huh

[barren sequoia]

It's peaceful but also kinda evil

[cold maple]

eternal sleep wasn’t a thing in base game for trina

it was more about dreams

[fiery burrow]

Basegame miquella had the compelled affection thing that was pretty immoral

[barren sequoia]

I swear base game st trina is said to have killed people

By sleep

[cold maple]

nah

she’s actually one of the only positives in the world in base and cut content

[cedar sedge]

sleep was

[cold maple]

yeah

not eternal sleep

of course it’s in that realm but yopi was saying trina was putting people to eternal sleep/killing them

[cedar sedge]

oh no i don't think there's anything mentioning that in the base game

[cold maple]

when really the crux of trina in base game was seeing her in dreams/ dream realm

[cedar sedge]

i think he only had 1 or 2 descriptions

[cold maple]

in cut content there’s a whole quest of someone trying to find trina

then realizing she’s miquella

[barren sequoia]

Damn yeah I was fully mistaken

[cold maple]

and then begging to be let into the world of her dreams

and the cookbook guy said he saw trina in dreams

and kept sleeping to find her again

[cedar sedge]

yea i would say that eternal sleep is just a cooler take on the dream thing

[cold maple]

i’m saying miquella wasn’t implied to be a full on monster in base game

[cold maple]

as a bloodborne fan i really wanted to see trina dream realm

[cedar sedge]

but the quest where you had to "steal" the dreams from the animals sleeping was cool af

[cold maple]

there was cool fan concepts of it

[cedar sedge]

yea no he wasn't at all

[barren sequoia]

Honestly the only demigod that seemed pure evil in the base game was rykard

[cedar sedge]

but that's the point, not only where the people of the lands between thinking he was good but we were too

[cold maple]

yeah so ur giving explanations with dlc when the criticism is the dlc context itself

[barren sequoia]

Like rykard was never good

[cedar sedge]

why would u criticize that i don't get it

[barren sequoia]

Even before the shattering dude was just killing people

Thats his shtick

[cold maple]

rykard was for sure evil

he started off not too bad

but holy nuts daedicar’s woe

[barren sequoia]

Was he not like the torturer for the golden order?

[cold maple]

they were doing ungodly things there

uhhh i don’t know

don’t think so

[normal token]

Got the email

[cold maple]

but he had torturers

[barren sequoia]

Under the Golden Order, Rykard was a ruthless justiciar who commanded a company of inquisitors.[4] His inquisitors persecuted and mercilessly tortured those considered heretics to the Golden Order, such as the Albinaurics. He spent

Rykard was also known for the construction of the Iron Virgins, automatons which were capable of both battlefield carnage and abducting victims to transport them to the Volcano Manor.[7]

[cold maple]

oh so he was

[barren sequoia]

Also volano manor

All those cages and shit

Pre snake

He just had those

[somber hare]

Yeah rykard is ultra evil

[cold maple]

poor albinaurics

who went to miquella for refuge

[barren sequoia]

I mean morgott

[somber hare]

Miquella is also evil though

[barren sequoia]

Kinda had the same thing

The black knights were morgotts

[cold maple]

miquella had an unsettling atmosphere to him

but he wasn’t shown to be evil or monstrous at all

before dlc

he was pretty much the guy u really wanted to see

[barren sequoia]

I still think killing tanith is the best choice for that storyline

You dont have to and really arent encouraged

But she deserves it

[cold maple]

i kill tanith because she’s lost her mind

too far gone

but she was still nice to rya

[fathom warren]

did they say if it was a demo or not yet?

[formal karma]

does it matter?

[fathom warren]

kinda

[pallid plinth]

Nothing elseatters 🎵

[normal token]

No

[fathom warren]

rip

[cedar sedge]

so, what are the clues of silksong releasing before ACMI?

[formal karma]

none

as far as i recall

[cedar sedge]

nice

[fathom warren]

so some guy said before holiday 2025, and yknow technically that could be before or after ACMI

[barren sequoia]

They really are leading with the silksong thing

Its smart

[formal karma]

"some guy" leth the PR contractor

[barren sequoia]

Probably the biggest thing they have

[fathom warren]

yes that guy

[cedar sedge]

if silksong doesn't release before acmi that event is gonna get flooded by silksong fans

[umbral ether]

some guy you mean leth?

[fathom warren]

thankfully leth has been doing the hard carrying in terms of keeping fans notified

yes the leth guy

[glossy berry]

they 100% intend it to be

[barren sequoia]

The bigger thing relating to release date is obviously the holiday due date and also the xbox console right?

[glossy berry]

its an effective marketing strategy

[barren sequoia]

Because its supposed to be a day 1

[normal token]

More visitors more money

[fathom warren]

yes very effective

[barren sequoia]

More visitors more people in the pit

[fathom warren]

125 dollars for a silksong stash sheeesh

[river ivy]

is this what the countdown was for?

[fathom warren]

but to be fair for the extra 85 dollars you get a booklet, plush, and a pin

[normal token]

Probably ye

[glossy berry]

its aud

[fathom warren]

yeah

[glossy berry]

still not a small amount but like

125 usd is a very different figure

[fathom warren]

that's like a switch game these days 😭

[zinc pier]

$125 for a hornet plush? I feel like it should be more like $200

[vagrant onyx]

SS in december

[zinc pier]

❌

unless something gets delayed

it'll be sooner

[median fractal]

someone's 100% gonna be mad about the lack of a hornet body pillow being given out

[fathom warren]

wouldn't be the first time lmao

[ashen hearth]

Nah the game files were uploaded to Steam, I think TC is just waiting for the right time

[pine frost]

Silksong on December 24th (It's before the holidays)

[fathom warren]

so true

[zinc pier]

oh . . .

I can't say that word

[fathom warren]

what word was it?

(don't say the word)

[zinc pier]

well

I can't say the word

so that makes it hard to say

[median fractal]

or stalling so that they can see us suffering

[subtle lynx]

can't believe tomorrow we are getting a silksong release

[fathom warren]

what was the first letter?

[zinc pier]

g

[subtle lynx]

it feels so weird coming at the end of the journey so suddenly

[fathom warren]

g?!?

[zinc pier]

keep in mind it was in reference to this

[fathom warren]

game?

oh I think I know what it was

is the next letter an o?

[zinc pier]

ermmmm . . . maybe 🥴

[ashen hearth]

I think they just gonna shadowdrop a release date trailer with no warning atp

[fathom warren]

yeah I know

[zinc pier]

I hope

that'd be so much more joyful then it being at xbox games show or nintendo direct

[fathom warren]

this is also a bad g word if you a silksong fan 😦

[zinc pier]

fr

[fathom warren]

its too traumatizing

is anyone planning on getting that xbox handheld ROG PC thing?

[woeful matrix]

hello everyone

[fathom warren]

ello

[river ivy]

I mean surely its close there only 5 months left in the year

[woeful matrix]

nope
it looks great tho

[ashen hearth]

[river ivy]

well I meant before holidays but ye ig

[ashen hearth]

We still have half a year and July just started lol

[glossy berry]

literally just get a steam deck

native windows install 😟

[zinc pier]

5 months before holidays if you're pessimistic on what holidays means

[ashen hearth]

But the game will still release this summer imo

[zinc pier]

actually no nvm

ignore me

[normal token]

Silksong the only thing they care about lmao

[zinc pier]

I thought about it a second more

[fathom warren]

erm actually that's not literally a steam deck 🤓

it has xbox on it

[glossy berry]

isnt it literally spelt wrong on their website

[zinc pier]

black friday to end of december is good timing to count as "holiday"

[woeful matrix]

agree

[glossy berry]

Hollow Knight: Silk Song

[normal token]

The store site says "Silk Song"

[woeful matrix]

i think everything after thanksgiving is holidays season

[zinc pier]

I could see it stretching all the way to halloween though

depending on who you ask

[woeful matrix]

dw tho aug release date for sure

[zinc pier]

tomorrow release day fs

[woeful matrix]

i also think that its gonna release before acmi

because acmi isnt a demo or anything its the real full game

[empty pilot]

yall never getting that release date

[fathom warren]

time to go all the way to australia to play this demo 😎

[median fractal]

They are abusing our dedication for a video game 😔

[woeful matrix]

thats alot of money

[scenic cliff]

Unlucky for me, I can’t go to Australia

[pallid plinth]

licking my lips for some hornety merchy

[fathom warren]

and its like 15 usd just for the silksong booklet

[coarse kernel]

new interview is in the zine which releases along side the start of gameworlds, so its probably out by then?

[fathom warren]

its 64 pages but dang

[pallid plinth]

just work a job for one day

and you can afford it

[fathom warren]

THE J WORD

[zinc pier]

"fan culture" uhoh . . .

[pallid plinth]

[fathom warren]

IN THIS ECONOMY

shiver me timbers

[glossy berry]

i was about to say dear lord

[river ivy]

They just abusing silksong but it’s pretty smart marketing I’m ngl

[coarse kernel]

the fact that an offical booklet thing for silksong by acmi and team cherry might feature silkposting is so fire

[glossy berry]

i really dont think thats true

[zinc pier]

maps? that definitely seems like a post release thing

[glossy berry]

its just the most anticipated game at the event its reasonable to hype it up

[pallid plinth]

no jobs in this economy oooo

👻

[fathom warren]

what if silksong had all this hype and on launch day there was only 2k people playing on steam

[zinc pier]

I mean thats also becuase all the other games are already released

not a lot of competition if everything is already out

[tacit scaffold]

Slurs

[fathom warren]

silksong the first 100 dollar game baby 😎

[zinc pier]

it'd be the most either way but still

[woeful matrix]

crazy how WE all of us are in that 7%

[ashen hearth]

This confirms to me that Silksong is a Summer 2025 game

[umbral ether]

theere are 159k people in the silksong subreddit

[pallid plinth]

if they put it as 15-24 year olds (young adults and teens), its about 20%

[zinc pier]

this discord is the 7 percent they're talking about

[pallid plinth]

counting those actively looking for work

[normal token]

This game gotta release before sept, right?

[coarse kernel]

guys the silksong zine has a interview from team cherry in it so it basically confirms it would be out before imo

[pallid plinth]

so gg

[fathom warren]

yes but what if only 2 of them got it

[normal token]

Zine about an unrreleased game would be funny

[fathom warren]

maybe 5

[river ivy]

I’m just wondering when and how this game will get a release date like I genuinely don’t know anymore

[woeful matrix]

probabably

[umbral ether]

why would only 2 get it

[zinc pier]

whats a zine

[woeful matrix]

maybe nintendo direct

[glossy berry]

with your help we can bring it to 8

[fathom warren]

like what if silksong was 100 dollars

[woeful matrix]

or just a random trailer drop idk

[glossy berry]

self published mini magazine on a topic

[pallid plinth]

i shall destroy someones job place

[umbral ether]

why the hell would it be 100 dollars

[pallid plinth]

if mario kart world can be

[empty pilot]

it wont youll just wake up one morning and it will be on steam

[zinc pier]

I don't think teah cherry is thinking too hard about where to release their release date trailer. I wouldn't be surprised if they get everythign finished sometime in july and then go "ok what are our options" and then just go "fuck it just put it on the youtube channel"

[fathom warren]

yknow the better question is, why wouldn't it be 100 dollars

[umbral ether]

tha is nintendo they are not indie devs

[river ivy]

Everyone would still buy it 💔

[cunning geode]

nope

[austere flame]

guys can someone tell wth is going on rn

[umbral ether]

indie games are ussally much cheaper then triple a games

[woeful matrix]

small ss news kinda

[fathom warren]

nah but dead ass are you buying silksong if its 60 dollars usd? aka 90 aud

[pallid plinth]

how about we have a silksong tax we pay the government

then the government hands out silksongs

[umbral ether]

yes i've been waiting 6 years for this game

[woeful matrix]

i may have to resort to other methods than perhaps

[umbral ether]

and i have 300 dollars in birthday money left

[woeful matrix]

like waiting for a sale fs

[glossy berry]

i'm pirating silksong if its anywhere close to that

[pallid plinth]

sheeesh 300

send it to em

me

[cunning geode]

so July just started and summer is about to swell in the northern hemisphere

[fathom warren]

ah yes that other method

[zinc pier]

what if it was 200 dollars today, decreasing by 10 for every year that it's out

how long until you buy it chat

[cunning geode]

does that help

[fathom warren]

patience

[umbral ether]

no

[woeful matrix]

that's not crazy to say

[umbral ether]

some people would prob wait 20 years

[austere flame]

ok and what do we have

[zinc pier]

and many people would wait 0

[woeful matrix]

i still predict its gonna be 30 dollars

[zinc pier]

30 dollars is good

maybe more like 20 or 25

but 30 is good

[coarse kernel]

30-40 makes most sense in my mind

[umbral ether]

how much was hollow knight

[fathom warren]

well if they released it for 200 dollars, I would hit up my old friend monkey D luffy, the future king of the pirates

[zinc pier]

15

[coarse kernel]

15 i think

[fathom warren]

and ask him for money

[austere flame]

15

[umbral ether]

30 makes sense then as silksong is much bigger

[woeful matrix]

this an smth else on the acmi site

[glossy berry]

why would it be double hollow knights price what

[zinc pier]

didn't he like something something one peice something something

[woeful matrix]

idk because i said so

[zinc ginkgo]

No news

[fathom warren]

I think 25 is a reasonable price, but I wouldn't be surprised at 30

[glossy berry]

tc are literally multimillionaires and the game was priced affordably when they were on the poverty line

[zinc ginkgo]

Everything is pointing to silksong releasing after acmi

[fathom warren]

yeah he beat something or other and got the one piece

[glossy berry]

the upcoming zine and stuff seems fascinating tbh

[umbral ether]

yeah it would probally be somewhere closer to 20-25 not 30

[woeful matrix]

literally rhe opposite btw

[umbral ether]

what?

[oblique musk]

Is there a minimum value?

[glossy berry]

why would you drop a 60 page zine on game design and maps and animation before releasing the full game

[zinc pier]

guys don't take the bait

[zinc ginkgo]

Wait what did I miss

[fathom warren]

team cherry used to constantly communicate when on the poverty line... so you never know

[zinc ginkgo]

please tell me its before acmi

[zinc pier]

please don't take the bait

[umbral ether]

it most likely will be

[coarse kernel]

what everything are we talking about? 🥀

[umbral ether]

due to no new demo at acmi and the acmi will dicuss challenging bosses

[woeful matrix]

is the everything in rhe room with us

[zinc ginkgo]

I heard about ppl saying it would release before acmi

Or is it just doubter propaganda

[woeful matrix]

it will

[coarse kernel]

wait where are u getting that its 60 pages?

[zinc ginkgo]

yay

[obsidian owl]

what is an acmi

[umbral ether]

autrilian game museum i think

[zinc ginkgo]

But why did they say before holiday

[zinc pier]

I think that's been fairly obvious since silksong was announced at acmi

it's always possible it won't release by then but it's all very weird otherwise

[zinc ginkgo]

Specifically

[fathom warren]

it would be so evil if they released a trailer like 3 days after people already bought the ACMI stuff and there was no refunds

[umbral ether]

idk

[woeful matrix]

idk

[oblique musk]

Multimillion dollar companies aren’t exactly known for ethical pricing, although that raised a question of causation.

[umbral ether]

because people asked leth i guess

[river ivy]

Because the Xbox thing made it seem like it was coming during the holiday so they clarified

[zinc pier]

team cherry themselves NEVER said before holiday. Leff just clarified that silksong wasn't waiting until the xbox thing released

[coarse kernel]

because the xbox ally said holliday release

[normal token]

How huge will ss be at acmi to require a guide

[zinc ginkgo]

Im crashing out if it releases after acmi
II'll get spoilered to death

[umbral ether]

isn't leth part of team cherry

[woeful matrix]

thats actually a really good question

[obsidian owl]

multimillion dollar companies with hundreds of employees? no. these are like 4 guys though

[woeful matrix]

i bet someones gonna beat ss at acmi

[oblique musk]

This is true.

[glossy berry]

i mean yeah but youre putting the cart before the horse here

this is a small team turned multimillion dollar company not an implicitly immoral corporation

[woeful matrix]

or get like really really far into it

[silver oak]

Quirrel Comic part 2 incoming

[opaque sigil]

tc are immoral for making hollow knight, a bad game

[glossy berry]

(un)ethical pricing isnt an inherent part of having money

[empty pilot]

preach

[zinc pier]

as far as I'm aware, it's complicated

and either way it still is releaseing before holiday based on that, I'm jsut saying they weren't saying right before holiday.

[oblique musk]

I mean, you could argue every “implicitly immoral corporation” started as a small team at some point.

[coarse kernel]

if it releases at least like a week before acmi, someone could be ready to speedrun it already

[fathom warren]

tbh I'm still skeptical on a delay happening, I know these are the quiet guys but if the game is coming out within 3 months where is this "communication close to release" this leth guy was talking about like 3 years ago

[woeful matrix]

probably

[obsidian owl]

of course it could happen, but i honestly would be surprised if silksong ended up being significantly more expensive than hk

[umbral ether]

unless you are new blood or costco or arizona ice tea

[fathom warren]

arizona ice tea is peak

[glossy berry]

costco being on this list is diabolical

[fathom warren]

lmao

[umbral ether]

yeah maybe not costco

i guess the costco food court and just the food court

[glossy berry]

the hotdog only costs that much because the ceo threatened to break someones fingers if they changed it that one time

[zinc pier]

guys . . . are we getting in an argument about capitalism?

[fathom warren]

specifically the hot dog

[woeful matrix]

costco still fire tho

[obsidian owl]

the fact that, from these three, i only recognize arizona ice tea

[fathom warren]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-fallout-new-vegas-dance-dancing-gif-6128875342791912116

[glossy berry]

[zinc pier]

something something proletariat something something bourgeoisie why can't we all just kiss

[warped umbra]

Ah thank god the emails have officially come out now, I got my ACMI tickets and knew about the zine 8 hours ago through other silly means but didn't say anything because I didn't wanna get in trouble

can we ask how you knew in advance

now that irs public

God I want that zine

[warped umbra]

Nah it was the same zine stuff

[glossy berry]

• presale tickets announced
• merch for silksong
• zine announced for near future
  • new tc interview about gamedev and community management
  • maps and animation discussion and concept art
  • 64 pages

[silver oak]

Actually

I want the game

[obsidian owl]

and what is a zine…?

[sharp marsh]

magazine

[empty pilot]

no

[oblique musk]

Like a magazine, but smaller.

[coarse kernel]

zine is like a booklet thingy right

[rustic ore]

hello chat

[obsidian owl]

ah

[glossy berry]

self published small magazine

[obsidian owl]

idk about release before/at acmi then

[glossy berry]

WOOOOOO FUCK YEAH

[warped umbra]

I knew about the Silksong Stash but I had no idea what it would have because the description isn't in the system yet

[woeful matrix]

[fathom warren]

it makes sense that you can only go once a day, otherwise it would just be silksong fans chilling at ACMI every day until February

[woeful matrix]

hello

whered my embed go

[oblique musk]

Not to get political, but I would absolutely vote for an Anomalocaris if it ran in any election.

[zinc pier]

oh also imagine how much it'd suck if the interview didn't talk about the final boss because it hadn't released yet. that's arguably the coolest part of most games

or on the other hand imagine if it DID spoil the final boss before the boss released. that'd be just as silly

[warped umbra]

This is the only info I had in advance

[fathom warren]

wait a minute... games world ends in February... team cherry does stuff in February... team cherry loves to delay things... things are starting to connect here

[zinc pier]

is rrp stand for really really pricey 🥴

[woeful matrix]

[obsidian owl]

i don’t think there’s that many people, especially ones that won’t get burned by the sun light and turned into crispy fried chicken as soon as they step foot outside

[woeful matrix]

oh it worked this time

[opaque sigil]

Do you even know how antiquated its sensibilities on social issues are???

[warped umbra]

Its in AUD btw

[oblique musk]

The line “can’t wait” implies it won’t be out come ACMI. I hope I’m reading too far into this.

[glossy berry]

14 usd for a zine is really good tbf

[marsh spoke]

i don't know what happened here but it's certainly not silksong, that would never happen

[woeful matrix]

incorrect

[glossy berry]

most of the good ones ive read are free self published things but yk

for a company you take what you can get

[woeful matrix]

oh wait its only 80 usd then

[vagrant onyx]

hold until before holidays

[zinc pier]

what the fuck? why woudl you even suggest such a thing? of course that wouldn't happen. get out of here. this is NOT the place to talk about silksong. if you want to talk about silksong go to r/deadpool

[fathom warren]

I mean its basically a booklet right? 15 bucks for that is a lil crazy imo

[warped umbra]

You're reading too far into this, this is what people will see when they buy tickets on presale and public sale, it's written in past tense

So it doesn't really say anything about release

[glossy berry]

its a 65 page magazine full of art and interviews and maps and the like

[marsh spoke]

i would Never be wrong

[glossy berry]

less a booklet or zine and far closer to a full published magazine

[oblique musk]

Praying you’re right

[vagrant onyx]

like edge magazine?

[marsh spoke]

i am actively working against a silksong release

[placid ether]

This whole acmi thing is starting to feel weird

[leaden delta]

oh 80 usd for that then

ok that price isnt even that bad

[placid ether]

In a bad way

[woeful matrix]

really isn't

[glossy berry]

silksong only got like 16 pages in edge right

[obsidian owl]

you are doing this so we can turn all of hkmain into warframe players, yes?

[glossy berry]

so this is kinda huge

[marsh spoke]

Yes

[fathom warren]

I guess we would have to wait to see the dimensions but it seems too small to call a magazine from the images

[leaden delta]

oh no wait

right

[obsidian owl]

astig astig astig did you see

[leaden delta]

that doesnt come with the game

nvm

[vagrant onyx]

Leth : acmi is not tied to SS release

[leaden delta]

im used to shit coming with the game

ok nvm like 40 dollars for a zine is a little fucked icl

[marsh spoke]

i think you pinged me about it while i was talking about being betrayed

but i think i did see

[glossy berry]

its 14 usd??

[zinc pier]

it's also marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if acmi themselves wasn't even told if silksong would be out or not

[glossy berry]

what?

[warped umbra]

I got a zine for me and mossbag, I have to ship to him lol

[leaden delta]

wait so

what r the pins

[fathom warren]

its like 22 aud for the zine

[placid ether]

So let me say something

[leaden delta]

sorry i dont have the prices in my head

[obsidian owl]

hiw do you even calculate the prices

[fathom warren]

and the zine seems to be around 3 pin boxes tall

[zinc pier]

one of them is a guy saying silk in 2022

hope that helps

[placid ether]

We have been dying for news or communication and now they are locking development updates behind a random event special ticket

[fathom warren]

so I would guess around 6-9 inches

[obsidian owl]

this is

certainly a way to look at it

[opaque sigil]

The persecution complex deepens

[obsidian owl]

y’all will never be satisfied lmao

[oblique musk]

Can’t believe you called beloved TC member and shitposter William Pellen “a guy”.

[barren sequoia]

Ive always wanted to look at the drafts and aris notebook for silksong

[zinc pier]

oh you're right

[barren sequoia]

Happy that this event seems like that'll be possible

[coarse kernel]

i just realized ur the guy who made the song recreations woah

[opaque sigil]

It’s a museum exhibit
Museums
Sell
Tickets

[fathom warren]

I'm sure if there is any big thing exclusive to the event there will be vloggers there to tell us, but I agree the lack of communication this close to this supposed release is worrying

[marsh spoke]

all ts about a 1.73/10 game 💔

[oblique musk]

I think they shouldn’t do that. I think I should get a ticket for free.

[barren sequoia]

I just hope theres a lot of actually development stuff about the game there

[obsidian owl]

maybe we’ll get a silksong collab out of it

[barren sequoia]

I could care less about actually playing it there or anything, it comes out in like 5 months time at most

[marsh spoke]

the silksong collab already exists its called oraxia

[coarse kernel]

dude this picture is so high res 🤤

[fathom warren]

I think the museum is free, but games world isn't. it probably costs a lot of money for an event like this

[barren sequoia]

Shaddup

[obsidian owl]

oh you’re right damn

[median fractal]

You are I think (or so I'd like to believe), considering all that there is the magazine, I think its a pretty safe bet to say it releases before (also like, why the fuck delay the game more ???). and also, ACMI wouldn't tell us Silksong is coming out before then and have like no other way to phrase it. I read it as "a must have for anyone who played Hollow Knight or is really excited for Silksong to release"

[obsidian owl]

DE released silksong before TC it’s over

[glossy berry]

TRUE

[hot halo]

Is the community still tryna sacrifice mossbag?

[marsh spoke]

join my warframe clan

[woeful matrix]

no

[glossy berry]

youre a few years late

[obsidian owl]

i am

[normal token]

At the very least this does kinda confirm skong summer cuz I don't see this type of info within the zine to be for 1 unreleased game (ik HK will be part of it too)

[barren sequoia]

A lot of hollow knight dev shit is pretty interesting

[obsidian owl]

LITERALLY

in it

[oblique musk]

Gang were you sleeping for 2 years

[barren sequoia]

Feel like silksong is gonna be even more so

[marsh spoke]

you will enjoy multiple riches and ambrosias and platinume and whatnot

[coarse leaf]

clarification question: are all the news and development updates and stuff are locked behind the zine? or is it just some extra fun behind the scenes stuff nd whatnot

[woeful matrix]

aug release for the win

[hot halo]

Nah I only started playing hollow knight a year ago

[obsidian owl]

oh god please no silksong in the summer

[woeful matrix]

why

[oblique musk]

But you made sure to read up on your silksanity lore. Good job.

[obsidian owl]

bro i only have my trashtop with me y’all need to wait for me

[median fractal]

I mustn't let school get in the way of skong time man 🙏

[obsidian owl]

i will personally call up tc and make them felay it

[median fractal]

sorry bro 🫡

[barren sequoia]

If silksong releases august I can play it all month

[glossy berry]

ideally silksong would be after summer yeah im away most of the month

[barren sequoia]

Cant work due to wisdom teeth removal

All the time in the world is in my hands

[woeful matrix]

late july and aug would be great release dates

[glossy berry]

visiting my partner unfortunately has to take priority over skong i hate to say it

[oblique musk]

You have wisdom teeth? Cringe.

[barren sequoia]

Not for long

Not for long

[marsh spoke]

they should delay it a couple more years this year has bad vibes

trust

[obsidian owl]

you don’t? baby

[glossy berry]

i have no wisdom teeth on account of my lack of knowledge and earthly truths

[pastel silo]

new steam update just dropped in

[glossy berry]

its so fucked

[median fractal]

its a number change I think

[oblique musk]

I’m 19.

[barren sequoia]

The bad part is I literally cannot work for a whole month after the surgery or the wounds will open up horribly and get infected

[obsidian owl]

wait how do you not

[barren sequoia]

Do not work as a swim instructor

[woeful matrix]

oh wow

[obsidian owl]

i have had all of my wisdom teeth since 18

[barren sequoia]

Any sort of procedure fucks you

[glossy berry]

some people are just born without wisdom teeth

[normal token]

Steam strikes
Again

[obsidian owl]

that’s crazy

what the hell

[glossy berry]

i only had 2

[barren sequoia]

The smallest shit still gets you out of the water for at least a month

[fathom warren]

if you think about it, if you were in mid-late high school playing hollow knight, now you've already graduated university and working at a a job. and still no silksong

[empty pilot]

the numbers, what do they mean

[barren sequoia]

Piercing are a month

[obsidian owl]

so some people don’t ghoul their own flesh until they get used to the new teeth??? damn

[marsh spoke]

they mean nothing

the game is Not coming out

[glossy berry]

pool rules are nuts yeah you have to take so much time off

[median fractal]

decode them. NOW! They are the hidden silksong release date

[warped umbra]

Ya!!!

[glossy berry]

kinda why i ditched the lifeguarding gig

[coarse kernel]

bro this is real silksong is, real..

[barren sequoia]

Technically I can still lifeguard

[empty pilot]

im not smart enough for that buddy

[barren sequoia]

I just have to pray that I dont actually need to do anything

[brittle moon]

Just got off of work. Did we hear anything or nothingburger?

[median fractal]

unfortunate

[marsh spoke]

nothingburger

[oblique musk]

Apparently around 20% of people just don’t have them. Awfully convenient.

[glossy berry]

youre basically a glorified janitor if you cant get on wetside its fucjed

[quaint bolt]

We got sonething
But also nothing...

[woeful matrix]

kinda news

[glossy berry]

miserable shifts

[marsh spoke]

Nothing Ever Happens

[obsidian owl]

huh

interesting and fucked up

[barren sequoia]

Oh dude it sucks

[obsidian owl]

why did i have to suffer but you don’t???

[marsh spoke]

we should eat the weak 20% without wisdom teeth

[barren sequoia]

Though I work at a Y so we have like an actual janitorial staff

[woeful matrix]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1279262687070781564/1367300127924031578/togif.gif

[obsidian owl]

i’m calling up god this is not acceptable

[median fractal]

wait can you like

[oblique musk]

I don’t know if it’s like, hereditary or anything. My parents both had wisdom teeth, and my younger sister is having hers removed at some point.

[median fractal]

call anyone you want?

[glossy berry]

my center fired all the janitorial staff and made all of us pick up their work that was so cool

[median fractal]

you said you were gonna call tc and tell them to delay it

now you say you're gonna call god

[glossy berry]

and then got shocked when the turnover rate tripled

[oblique musk]

Yeah, we call it a cell phone.

[median fractal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1082316518810992700/1342565554350850091/image0-2.gif

[marsh spoke]

no need to call tc i'm on the case already

[barren sequoia]

Yeah I cant see us ever doing that thank god

Though we have no maintenance guy

And the entire wet area is falling apart

[obsidian owl]

bribe enough people and you can get anyones number

[barren sequoia]

I think his wife died and the dude had to quit

[glossy berry]

i have never worked at a pool without some form of horrific fault somewhere

[median fractal]

interesting strategy

[barren sequoia]

But we really really need a mantinance guy

[lone crown]

Oh fuck

[oblique musk]

Well yeah, anyone can call god. That’s what praying is for. Trust.

[woeful matrix]

hes back

https://tenor.com/view/one-peak-one-piece-its-so-peak-rayleigh-gif-18066990322494779748

[median fractal]

yeah imma contact em rn for skong

[lone crown]

Who?

[glossy berry]

line manager walked out of the plant room green and behind fumes of smoke thats the first time someones had to hit the evac alarm

[oblique musk]

I didn’t realize he was gone tbh.

[barren sequoia]

Our steam room is just closed until we get one

Which blows

[glossy berry]

so many horror stories

[obsidian owl]

iiinteresting

[woeful matrix]

acc nvm this isnt peak

barely got banned for a day

[marsh spoke]

why was he green

[glossy berry]

me when i have to make massive amounts of chlorine gas because im bored

[oblique musk]

Wait fool you got banned? Why?

[barren sequoia]

I really think our sauna is hitting the limit as well

[lone crown]

Who is this fool you speak of

[barren sequoia]

Dude we're so fucked if we dont have a sauna

[oblique musk]

Wait Genius you got banned? Why?

[woeful matrix]

made a bet

[barren sequoia]

You know how many old people go to the Y just for the Sauna

[umbral ether]

he made a bet with a mod

[oblique musk]

Is that against the rules, or was it his punishment for losing?

[glossy berry]

that thing closes and youre completely boned

[woeful matrix]

punishment for losing

[umbral ether]

the punishment was for losing

[glossy berry]

90% of the customer base vanishes

[normal token]

GEF is gone yall need to accept that

[glossy berry]

rest in peace to a real one

[barren sequoia]

Half the people dont even swim in the pool

[umbral ether]

if i remeber irght the bet was silksong would realse last month

[woeful matrix]

yep

[umbral ether]

and it didn't so he got banned and now he is back

[warped umbra]

I miss him

[oblique musk]

I thought people went because it’s fun to stay there.

[fathom warren]

if silksong gets released this year... idk it'll be out ig

[shell yacht]

One apt I lived at had a pool when I was a kid so badly maintained nobody ever used it

[marsh spoke]

i don't care about silksong i want to know why that pool manager was green

[umbral ether]

what pool manager

[oblique musk]

Chlorine probably

[viscid wind]

Did acmi post anything?

[glossy berry]

pumping up an inflatable for some kids birthday event coworker is waist deep in water

generator cable for the pump isnt long enough someone asks for an extension cord. instead of attaching it and keeping it on poolside like a normal person, they drop the active generator onto a pool float and push it out into the water next to this guy

[marsh spoke]

i did not know chlorine made you green

[obsidian owl]

WHAT

BRO

😭

[fathom warren]

but why buy silksong when a better MetroidVania (constance) is releasing this year. and unlike silksong it actually has a release date... and a team that communicates

[woeful matrix]

its in aud

[obsidian owl]

bro

[glossy berry]

there is a reason i dont work pools anymore

[marsh spoke]

tag yourself i'm the active generator

[glossy berry]

every shift is some shit like this man

you either have half the lifeguards crossfaded or hungover or an active safety risk

[oblique musk]

It’s fine, water doesn’t actually conduct electricity well unless some kind of salt is dissolved in it! No need to worry! Unless, of course, you had chemicals in there.

[swift sand]

the silkstash is real

[normal token]

Automatic silksong when you add the tickets to cart lmao

[lone crown]

Ooh

[shell yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/final-destination-2-log-truck-gif-14177031093325113499

[warped umbra]

Yeh that's how i got shown the zine stuff yesterday lol

[umbral ether]

was the person pushing the float with the generator a moron

[barren sequoia]

What's a zine?

[lone crown]

Magazine

[woeful matrix]

magazin

[marsh spoke]

do you think the guy who pushed the generator on the float thought he was a genius

[oblique musk]

He was not! A! Moron!

[umbral ether]

if he was stupid enough to think that was a good idea yes

[glossy berry]

guy only lost his job after losing a fourth radio in 3 months

like half a year later

[umbral ether]

what the hell

[marsh spoke]

look it's a great idea if you think about it

[umbral ether]

so if that generator fell in what would have happened

[barren sequoia]

I think he honestly commited a felony with the pool float

[glossy berry]

those walkies you see lifeguards carry cost 300 us dollars each btw

[barren sequoia]

He was on the edge of manslaughter

[glossy berry]

i think
based on conversions

[heady iron]

let's go to the stash

[barren sequoia]

How much did you get paid?

I'm getting minimum wage but if I pass the northwest test and work at certain pools I'd be making round 27 dollars

[umbral ether]

would putting a generator on a float count as criminal negligence

[viscid wind]

That's so cool

[glossy berry]

i have to check conversions hangon

[obsidian owl]

…pretty much all water has minerals in it. this only really applies to distilled water

[barren sequoia]

Northwest test is a bitch though dude

[barren sequoia]

Oh 100%

[shell yacht]

Absolutely

[glossy berry]

id guess about 20 usd/hour

[glossy berry]

most definitely

[shell yacht]

Criminal stupidity

[barren sequoia]

The lifeguard is there for the safety of all swimmers

The entire pool could sue that man to ruin

[heady iron]

mods, make them drink 100% pure water

[barren sequoia]

Theres no legal protection for us I think

[viscid wind]

Is this what the youngins call ragebait

[barren sequoia]

We can very easily be sued

[marsh spoke]

what if it was a distilled water pool

[oblique musk]

The pool goers may have needed to sign a waiver though

[woeful matrix]

it def is
also confirms ss before acmi woo

[oblique musk]

Yeah, I know. The joke was that pool water is chock-full of chemicals.

[obsidian owl]

then a lot of people are going to get very sick, very quicky

[glossy berry]

separate coworker lost their job because they were watching some particularly risqué media on their phone (that they smuggled onto poolside) while on shift

lifeguarding gives you such a refreshing experience of the human psyche

[coarse leaf]

So is the ss news just paywalled behind the zine 😭

[barren sequoia]

Like he was on his phone on the tower?

[marsh ibex]

my eye hurts

[viscid wind]

No? What

[barren sequoia]

Or was he off

[marsh spoke]

yea but the water wouldn't conduct the electricity

[shell yacht]

Yesnt

[marsh spoke]

think about how many generators you could put on floats

[heady iron]

dw $125 is not even a dent in ara's millions he's earned from dssn

[oblique musk]

And that’s what it’s all about, really.

[obsidian owl]

i am going to get a rabid dog to bite you and watch you transform

[heady iron]

he'll get it for us

[barren sequoia]

You do 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off right?

[marsh spoke]

i would tank the rabies and become stronger

[glossy berry]

yeah yeah

[marsh spoke]

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

[viscid wind]

The zine is not available yet, only on sep 18th will they be given out to those who ordered them in person at game worlds

[oblique musk]

Depends on where you work. Where I worked I did 30 and 30.

[obsidian owl]

you are not a tenno

[glossy berry]

it used to be 30 til that one guy got heatstroke

[shell yacht]

Museum sells tickets
Event has exclusive stuff
The game is there in some capacity
Museums charge money...

[coarse leaf]

Ahh okay, thank you

[marsh ibex]

sounds like his own damn fault

[barren sequoia]

It's sweet really

Just 30 minutes of pay to do very little work

[shell yacht]

Did u think a museum was about to drop the release date or something???

[barren sequoia]

Mainly just checking the chemicals and temp

[marsh ibex]

I wish that’s all I had to do

[barren sequoia]

Plus when we were off, theyd allow us to be on our phone

We just had to be in office

[glossy berry]

yeah i wasnt allowed in the plant room after we had a sixteen year old on a shadow shift make chlorine gas by accident

[marsh ibex]

our facility has basically no cleaning staff so we clean bathrooms too

also they keep asking us to do random shit too

[glossy berry]

general rule only the manager had a key

[glossy berry]

yeah

[barren sequoia]

Me too honestly

[oblique musk]

War crimes. Love ‘em.

[barren sequoia]

Lifeguarding is my side gig

[glossy berry]

they had me deep cleaning showers on my first day

[barren sequoia]

I am a swim instructor first

[marsh spoke]

i know a guy who made tear gas in a medical lab and it got in the vents

[barren sequoia]

Which is harder

Significantly so

[marsh ibex]

like “ohhh go take out the trash on the tennis courts, go clean the tennis court bathrooms, go pick up trash in the front of the facility” since we get paid too much apparently

annoying ass

[heady iron]

spongebob told me lifeguard duty is easy

[oblique musk]

Pay must have been good, huh

[warped umbra]

If you really want, I can get one and ship it to you if you pay for the shipping and zine, I've already got one for mossbag and myself so I should be able to just buy another

[glossy berry]

its like 20 dollars an hour

[barren sequoia]

It's weirdly difficult to Teach people how to swim

[oblique musk]

Why would lifeguards be necessary in a world that is always underwater.

[marsh ibex]

not particularly

[glossy berry]

i mentioned earlier but they fired all the cleaning staff to cut costs

[silver oak]

You think I’m paying for that shit?

[marsh ibex]

goo lagoon isn’t made of water

[oblique musk]

Have you tried the Eagle method?

[warped umbra]

[barren sequoia]

Like I can do it now because I have experience but some people just dont really take it at all

[marsh ibex]

stop fucking cursing

[barren sequoia]

Plus I work with kids

[silver oak]

fuck you!!!!!!!

[barren sequoia]

Kids just dont pay attention

[heady iron]

mossbag getting $125 of free shit and all he does is make videos 😭

[median fractal]

do they even know what attention is?

[glossy berry]

kids are so difficult to work with on that front yeah

youre doing a service it sounds hellish

[barren sequoia]

Also hurtful

[shell yacht]

Omg they made lifeguards from fortnite into a real job

[fathom warren]

banned

[marsh ibex]

man I gotta try not to be an asshole at work tomorrow
my eye hurts and my hlasses broke

[barren sequoia]

I have got kicked too many times to count

Kid gave me a black eye by accident

[fathom warren]

oof

[terse dune]

Real life copied fortnite?

[magic hemlock]

Everytime

[shell yacht]

Let's all give somebody 5$ to go pick us up one

[oblique musk]

Many such cases !

[glossy berry]

you never realise just how strong kids are before you get kicked in the tits by a ten year old

[barren sequoia]

I really do like the job though its nice and I love the water

[glossy berry]

its fucked

[fathom warren]

I heard they added borutos dad into fortnite, its so weird

[glossy berry]

i could never do instructing as a long term thing

[barren sequoia]

Plus I can take out the frustration by making the older kids do significantly too much swimming

[heady iron]

the child's leg would shatter against my stonewall pec

[barren sequoia]

Once we start actual lane swimming im forcing 2-3 hundreds

[barren sequoia]

It is good for them

But they hate it

[terse dune]

Secret bullism

[viscid wind]

Actually evil

[barren sequoia]

Okay but you think once they hit 13-14 they would listen right

They dont

They don't at all

[glossy berry]

goes the opposite direction yeah

[heady iron]

and they let these kids on discord?

[shell yacht]

Fortnite stole my cats name smh

[barren sequoia]

Im giving a 500 one day

[glossy berry]

indescribably hellish experience yeah

[silver oak]

Someone will post the whole thing online a few days later anyway

[glossy berry]

0/10 do not recommend

[barren sequoia]

They wrong me enough these kids are getting a 500

[shell yacht]

But I want one

[heady iron]

theft

[barren sequoia]

They dont know the pains of swim team

But ill teach em

Ill get em ready for that hell

[glossy berry]

trying to think of other stories

[oblique musk]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-but-i-want-it-now-gif-26307521

[barren sequoia]

The worst thing is my pool isnt deep enough to teach dives unfortunately

[magic hemlock]

What was peter so mad about

[glossy berry]

manager was watching a football game on shift with his radio off and didnt hear the girl stuck in the chemical cupboard for like an hour

[barren sequoia]

And dives are the best part

[glossy berry]

[barren sequoia]

They're fun

[viscid wind]

Silk Song

[shell yacht]

Infomercial toy or smth

[heady iron]

[barren sequoia]

Sounds like an insane lawsuit

[magic hemlock]

Petah

[barren sequoia]

Oh my god dude the actual worst thing is teaching how to tread water

[fiery burrow]

😭

[barren sequoia]

You can go step by step but they'll just go straight down

[heady iron]

let the weak be purged

[barren sequoia]

Flip turns as well

But flips turns are just difficult

[glossy berry]

id say its to protect against kids because theres so many at pools but someone let a six year old in there that one time so

irs clearly not infallible

[magic hemlock]

Flip turn like the pokemon move

[obsidian owl]

what is a flip turn

[silk zodiac]

are you serious

[magic hemlock]

It's like water type u turn

[barren sequoia]

So when you reach the end of a 25 doing a 50

You have to turn

You can do an open turn

Which is grabbing onto the wall turning and pushing off

They suck

the one thing i could never get right is the dolphin thing

[barren sequoia]

Dolphin kicks

[silk zodiac]

[barren sequoia]

Also difficult

But slightly easier to teach

[obsidian owl]

[barren sequoia]

Its just a lot of core strength and rhythm

[terse dune]

Random question: is the knight canonically a professional baller?

[obsidian owl]

the thing where you propel yourself by flapping around like a dolphin

[barren sequoia]

Dolphin kick

[obsidian owl]

[glossy berry]

idk what the process is like for yall but dude the worst thing ever is when you get some little cunt of a kid whos injured themselves on something

[obsidian owl]

fucked up shit

[heady iron]

I don't wanna kick a dolphin

[glossy berry]

and refuses to tell you anything for the incident report documents

[heady iron]

that's rude 😦

[barren sequoia]

Streamline into a dolphin kick

[obsidian owl]

i got kicked from the team because i couldn’t get it to work 😔

[magic hemlock]

Dolphins would kick you if they could

[barren sequoia]

Your school had enough people to kick?

[obsidian owl]

[barren sequoia]

[barren sequoia]

The only thing I cant do is fly

[glossy berry]

so we have to fill out documents for HR and the potential ambulance whenever something happens

[obsidian owl]

what is that

[barren sequoia]

Butterfly

[obsidian owl]

idk any of the english terms pls enlighten me

[glossy berry]

which involves asking for addresses and names and stuff

[barren sequoia]

Arms outside of the water with head then back in

Y shape

[glossy berry]

its just a bit difficult when youve got some eight year old completely lucid covered in blood telling you to fuck off

[heady iron]

you know despite their name and matching appearance, butterflies are not actually flies

[obsidian owl]

yeah absolutely not

i couldn’t even do normal dolphin kicks that would be fucked up

[glossy berry]

might come as a shock but there were so many injuries man

[solemn juniper]

What if it wasn't their blood and they just killed an elephant or something?

[barren sequoia]

Dude my first day working I had a kid break his nose by putting a kick board under the water

[glossy berry]

some kid broke her leg at her birthday party and they wouldnt send an ambulance till we lied about respiratory problems

[obsidian owl]

how does

[obsidian owl]

what country is this

[glossy berry]

at which point they sent a car, gave her fent and swiftly sent an ambulance

[barren sequoia]

Not supposed to hold them underwater

They shoot back up

[obsidian owl]

yeah i mean

kids are stupid

[barren sequoia]

This was a swim team kid

Like 15 I think

[obsidian owl]

though then again i also did this so

yeah kids are stupid

[heady iron]

can't stop me trying to stand on them

[barren sequoia]

Oh I do it as well

I just keep my head the fuck away

[glossy berry]

its like initiation you gotta have something heinous happen shift 1 for no reason

[obsidian owl]

my main weakness has always been diving

[viscid wind]

scariest stories

[obsidian owl]

i can dive down pretty comfortably but getting far is hard man

[barren sequoia]

I couldn't dive for shit until I found out you had to tuck your head

Nobody ever told me until I was a year in

[glossy berry]

yeah that'll do it

[obsidian owl]

at age 12 i could dive down to 4 meters to grab a lost trinket but god i couldn’t dive 15 meters far

[barren sequoia]

I see some people are able to do it while looking at the water but I cant

Head has to be looking at my chest or it gets fucked up

[glossy berry]

yeah nah i could never

[obsidian owl]

dive down or

[glossy berry]

mental block
