@shell yacht what do you think about neutral milk hotel

[rocky flicker]

So if Saturn is in retrograde and my cat isn’t on speaking terms with my hamster…
Oh yeah it’s all lining up now

[shell yacht]

No there's no correlation because the devs of the other games did not work on silk song in nor did they make a promise to meet the same window as other video games, they have nothing related to each other? Using when other games came out as a window for a totally different game has absolutely no merit behind it

[dusk pilot]

Cats cant speak to hamster so thats a constant and not usable there

[shell yacht]

I don't even have the slightest idea about what that is

[harsh yarrow]

Ugh what are y'all arguing about now?

[pastel silo]

wtf are you yapping about ....all I am saying it, it's not 100% sure that Silksong will release after the demo

I am not a doubter, just a hater.

That’s true but I still there could still be some glaring issues that they realize would take too long to fix for the deadline.

Real when I come here I have hatred and I know whose fault it is

I am not a doubter i am a hater 🙏

Rumor has it that the pursuer from Dark Souls 2 is so dedicated to capturing the player that he has traveled into another game and made his way into Silksong as a boss.

I wonder if this'll be a new demo, the old demo, or just the full game with a limit on how far in you can go

We need a ss announcement channel now

[mellow socket]

"Holiday and beyond" in the article basically means it releases in November/December, isn't it?

[rocky flicker]

They said new so hopefully new, idk what they’ll show tho they already had the demo of the first area which is usually what’s in demos

[shrewd wigeon]

Because Leth said they probably won't make a new demo for ACMI, but he also said that was only his personal opinion and does not reflect the devs

[stoic sigil]

My wife Leth me

[patent heath]

[rocky flicker]

Gonna get with her and gibson

[shrewd wigeon]

It feels really unlikely they'll use the old demo because it's apparently very outdated

[stoic sigil]

Gibson? But I don't have any!

[dusk pilot]

Xbox said NEW demo

[cunning geode]

Gibson, son of Gib

[rugged solstice]

chat watch this bait

leth getting paid 6 figures to do nothing has gotta be quite the dream

[rocky flicker]

Gib son of ari

[shrewd wigeon]

Wait yeah you're right XBOX says new demo

[timid ridge]

i reckon its gonna be moss grotto again, after all the revamps

[patent heath]

[dusk pilot]

Leth son of gib son of ari son of dave

[dire wing]

is leth just paid to lie to us

[rocky flicker]

Surely not moss grotto again
Hey it’s green and kinda the same but ooh u feel that minor physics change? Yeaaah that’s the shit

[cunning geode]

for some reason when i look at Ari and William i think Ari looks like his name is Ari and William looks like his name is Gibson

[cunning geode]

unfortunately I am secular

[rocky flicker]

To be fair leth did go on that rant about the silksong fans being “savage animals” who “don’t deserve the scraps I wouldn’t give to my dog” so I can see why some people don’t like him too much

[timid ridge]

silksong's new demo will drop you right into the final boss battle and you only have one attempt

[cunning geode]

but send my thanks to God preferably by hotmail

[rugged solstice]

alumni immune to slowmode? how i get that mf role

[cunning geode]

[polar stag]

I think another thing that's likely is the demo has 2 areas. 1 from early in the game, so Moss Grotto, and another from a bit later on with a few more tools and abilities.

ah yes let's wait another few years
-# honestly as long as the game is good I won't mind waiting some more

Summer about to end and no silksong in sight

[polar stag]

Development takes a minimum of 17 years on average nowadays so Silksong releasing in less than half that time is concerning

[rocky flicker]

What? We literally have silksong in better focus than ever before I mean it’s still blurry but it’s definitely there

[fair vault]

aussie summer in 4 months, maybe then

[cunning geode]

unless it’s Doom II of course

[lone crown]

Silksong demo at xbox thing august 20-24 bruh

[viscid wind]

hi gef

[cunning geode]

say that one more time i didn’t quite hear you

[rocky flicker]

What if the demo just fucking sucks they ruined the physics and the game is a 3/10

[lone crown]

Is the demo available available or just at the event

[opaque sigil]

ah yes, doom 2, famously developed 'nowadays' in the context of the video game industry

[rugged solstice]

Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong

We had planned to release in the 2nd half of 2025, but development is still continuing, somehow. Ari spends all of our daily standups talking about Reddit Silkposts. We're excited by how the game is shaping up as we don't add any more content, and it's gotten quite big, so we want to take even more time to make the game as good as we can by slightly altering every sprite over and over again.

[loud badge]

Im not getting silksong till next year ig🤞

[cunning geode]

absolutely

[rocky flicker]

What

[opaque sigil]

seems like just at the event

[timid hull]

Dude didn’t the community manager say there was no new demo what the hell?

[polar stag]

Probably just the event but it's possible they put a demo on steam or something for people to try

[lone crown]

Ah ok

[rocky flicker]

Holy fuck “Leth lied to us” GO READ THE FUCKING MESSAGE HE SENT YOU ANIMALS IT WAS HIS PERSONAL OPINION

[harsh yarrow]

More likely on Xbox live

[timid hull]

WHAAAAT???????? GAMESCOM IS AUGUST 24 ????

[rapid abyss]

Likely story

[normal token]

Available at just the event

[rugged solstice]

xbox trying to get us excited for silksong when they hoed us in 2022

May I have a role that ignores slowmode that isn't Alumni? I am interested in reaping all the benefits without any responsibility

[cunning geode]

forced to watch cuphead journalist play the demo, nobody else is allowed everyone else just has to observe

[viscid wind]

gamescom is august 20th and gamescom onl livestream is august 19th...

[lone crown]

There really is a new demo
And that’s definitely what ACMI has too

[rapid abyss]

Wait why is slowmode so long what the heck

[timid hull]

DUDE WE ARE NOT GETTING SILKSONG THIS YEAR LMAO 😭😭

[rocky flicker]

The fact game journalists get their grubby hands on my beautiful silksong sickens me to my core

Cuz we got silksong news

[viscid wind]

Oh cool what happened

[lone crown]

I just woke up is this all there is to know

[rocky flicker]

Cause that one mod is a dick

[shrewd wigeon]

Demo at gamescon

[normal token]

Silksong demo announced for gamescom

[viscid wind]

Because that one mod is a saint

[novel locust]

Gang, unless they've specifically said they've had to delay a second time - which is doubtful - we're still getting the game before Holiday this year LOL

[polar stag]

Dude chill tf out August 20th is not the end of the year

[rapid abyss]

Oh is that it

[timid ridge]

i want to see this guy play the silksong demo

[harsh hamlet]

We need leth to spawn here like now

[timid hull]

This isn’t a rage bait a demo this late into august there’s no way dude there’s actually no way I don’t think we’re getting the game this year

[rocky flicker]

Geoff was like “yup it’ll be there” and uhhhh that’s about it

[patent aspen]

there isn’t really any confusion if you can read

August-July is crazy what kind of freak puts the date the comes after before

[rapid abyss]

I was arguing with a ss believer a while ago how theres no way its gonna be out by sep 15 so i need to make sure its not, then i can rub in his face how stupid it is to be optimistic

[viscid wind]

heyyyyy maaaaaan slow downn.. slow down
idiot slow doownnnn, slow down!!

[lone crown]

I dont see any confusion here

[polar stag]

September 18th and no, news at Gamescom in August doesn't change the possibility of a release date by mid-September

[rugged solstice]

August (2025) - July (2032)

[fair vault]

as long as I get to play the game before I die I'll be happy

[rocky flicker]

[rapid abyss]

Grr

[timid hull]

Idk but point is this demo is really disappointing news because it just means we have to wait even longer

[viscid wind]

is leth basically jesus or what

[hexed prawn]

"Coming soon"

[timid ridge]

its darksydephil

[hard orbit]

Instead of Team Cherry, we hear from Xbox that there is a demo. I really don't understand this silence.

[rocky flicker]

The moment ss-lore becomes a thing im dropping to my knees and accepting the lord

[lapis oyster]

Willie is anything BUT silent on twitter

[rugged solstice]

team cherry said we would hear directly from them when they are ready to release the game

[opaque sigil]

"Why would xbox be announcing things present in their event"

[hard orbit]

[shrewd wigeon]

Why would TC be the ones to announce this, it's a demo for the Xbox showcase

[timid ridge]

if silksong was releasing in august, we'd know about it by now.

[timid hull]

I just don’t understand why make a demo if you’re planning on releasing it soon I just don’t get it what’s the point

[rocky flicker]

Mmm yes the wimbler how do we make this news retroactively foreshadowed by his rambling bullshit twitter

[viscid wind]

❌

[opaque sigil]

please google what a demo is

[sharp agate]

Yall …is our dreams coming true? Also hi @rocky flicker ily

[harsh hamlet]

There's still the direct 😊

[lone crown]

Why dont games just start announcing that they’ll be in nintendo directs before the livestream that’ll be funny

[rugged solstice]

ss-discussion is so much better on days without "news"

[hard orbit]

I want Cherry to say something now. They've been quiet enough on every issue.

[rocky flicker]

They announced release date of hk like 2 weeks before it released iirc

[viscid wind]

Yup

[rose flax]

There was a demo in 2019, but it hasn't been released yet in 2025. This time, it's another demo

[patent heath]

True.

[rocky flicker]

Then it’s just bums talking about shit games
Wait…

[harsh hamlet]

Ill be honest, i will miss alot this era of copium and predictions when the game releases

[viscid wind]

Do i ping ismoil

[rugged solstice]

oh boy cant wait for it to be in early access for 4 years

[sharp agate]

Why slow mode 🥺

[timid ridge]

yeah but team cherry and hollow knight were nowhere near as big as they are right now, id feel like they'd want to announce the release date sooner than 2 weeks before launch

[rocky flicker]

I won’t I hate it all it’s fucking agonising

[shrewd wigeon]

I'd also like TC to communicate, but they neither have to nor would it make any kind of sense for TC to be the one announcing this demo. Also we are factually guaranteed to hear from them by ACMI because there's the interview that ACMI was selling

[cloud rover]

WE HAVE GOTTEN YES NEWS

its stated its a new demo?

"Play Hollow Knight: Silksong with a new demo – on PC or ROG Xbox Ally X."

[viscid wind]

no !!!

[proven tree]

oh

[rocky flicker]

I do wanna drive on the autobahn tho

[young saffron]

In your guys opinion does it make more sense to release a new demo after the release of the game or before the release of the game?

[lapis oyster]

Hornet horse racing

[lyric lava]

horset racing

[upbeat tendon]

wtf, silkdemo?

[rocky flicker]

Why would they release a demo after release of the game
I guess for an event it makes sense if you squint like it gives people who haven’t bought the game a chunk of it but ehhhh

[pastel silo]

in this case it's irrelevant what we think, there will be games that are already out too, so it can be either way really

[rocky flicker]

We all know team cherry hates the poor and they’d just tell your broke ass to get some paper and buy their 90 usd game

[rugged solstice]

If the demo was for ROG Ally only, it would make sense for the game to be shown as what the ROG Ally can do (independent of what Silksong offers), making sense for the game being able to come out before Gamescom

[tribal badger]

Wait, is that actually real?

[rocky flicker]

Surely they’d pick a more intensive game to show what it can do

[shrewd wigeon]

personally I find that releasing a game with a demo is best. That way you can try the game out before buying to figure out if it's fun

[stoic sigil]

"Silksong will release this year" yeah they're gonna RELEASE the SILKSONG demo THIS YEAR

[atomic sparrow]

🥳

[rugged solstice]

you'd think that, but they basically showed only silksong on it in the Ally reveal trailer

[stoic sigil]

Silksong is obviously an intensive game

[lone crown]

Demo for ally AND pc at the event

[rocky flicker]

That’s different that’s to build hype, now that ppl know silksongs on it they gotta show that the console isn’t dogshit

[rugged solstice]

thanks, I said "if"

[cloud rover]

rendering of that scene in 4k Raytracing

[young saffron]

On this note I might actually be cooked what 😭

Either I end up barely playing silksong and not rly enjoying it

or I pull all nighters

[viscid wind]

this is likely a hint to the fact that silksong will be unoptimized

[lone crown]

Not really a lot of released games have demos

[torpid orchid]

yes...

[rocky flicker]

Silksong fans when they get news

[runic atlas]

demos are for people to play so they get interested in the full game...

[cerulean sable]

r silksong is dying

hit the like button 2 kill it faster

[shrewd wigeon]

Not really many released games have demos to entice people to play. Plus these demos are often used in showcases instead of having the full game

[misty reef]

Silksong fans when Silksong

[chilly crane]

Where does it say that there’s gonna be a new demo

[rocky flicker]

Mr gamescom man said so

[young saffron]

but whats the use of that though? I understand having a demo on steam (Obv) but why keep it at an IRL event

[timid ridge]

where where you when silksong is kil

[oblique musk]

Misinformation and lies

[rocky flicker]

To get people to go to the event? They aren’t just gonna market silksong for no reason lol

[old berry]

i just hope we dont have to wait much longer man and the game comes out a but after the demo

[torpid orchid]

And when we think about the first demo was released years ago... But silksong will be released in this year, right?

[runic atlas]

clicked too fast now is broken

[young saffron]

Ig that makes sense, I thought it would be more impactful to keep the demo b4 the release date cause more people would be willing to go

[misty reef]

Yup

[rocky flicker]

If we track game doneness off the demos game will release in about 8 years

when r silskosng is dead ill be at tge funeral but not mourning raher youll see me there smoking tje biggest PACKWATCH RIB BOZO pack uve ever seen

can't they upload on steam?

the only thing thats bigger than e3 (When it was still around) is the game awards

[livid oracle]

Facts bro

[shrewd wigeon]

Technically yes, but uploading it onto steam leads to datamining and also this gets people going to the event which is good marketing for Xbox

[torpid orchid]

Ok.

[rocky flicker]

They don’t give a shit about you lol this is marketing go spend money to see silksong and also buy new Xbox stuff

[normal token]

I love how Xbox and Nintendo have had demos and teasers with TC while all Playstation got was a tweet

[runic atlas]

more likely that xbox paid for them to make a demo to have there

[rocky flicker]

CONSUME CONTENT AND PRODUCT FOR MONETARY TRANSACTIONS god bless America

[atomic sparrow]

🦅 🦅 🦅

[viscid wind]

its in germany but ok

[thorn gull]

the good newes in pc too not only ally sht

[rocky flicker]

Yeah and I’m Australian so none of that made even the slightest bit of sense

[timid ridge]

who even plays hollow knight with a mouse and keyboard

[viscid wind]

the demo is only at the gamescom in person event as far as we know

[rocky flicker]

I just played on the keyboard didn’t use the mouse he sat and watched

[sharp agate]

We getting a 25 min slow down when there is a release date?

[cloud rover]

me. 112% it. I also played Elden Ring on keyboard. I will never leave my keyboard

[viscid wind]

who even plays hollow knight

[lone crown]

Wonder when we’ll get ally release date since that is a pseudo-deadline considering ss is available day 1 on that

[sinful flare]

yeah i ate all of e3 its gone

[timid ridge]

[viscid wind]

Serverwide lockdown

[oblique musk]

Solid 67% chance that Silksong is out by then

[rocky flicker]

Alloyed collective? Risk of rain 2? It’s soon trust

[cloud rover]

And still lightining fast chat

[torpid orchid]

I hope they don't show too much on demo. I really want the game surprising. (I cannot ignore videos since I cannot resist my desire to know more about silksong).

[rugged solstice]

by the time we get a release date you guys are probably never seeing me again lmao

[opaque sigil]

It’s a demo it probably won’t have anything past the early game

[rocky flicker]

Yeah I think I’ll cuss out like 4 people I really don’t like and then leave and talk about it with my real friends

[shrewd wigeon]

Odds are the demo will be just the first area

[oblique musk]

Am I on the list rat

[rugged solstice]

"yeah screw all of em. Except Andy, he was cool"

[rocky flicker]

No you’re neat and cool

[viscid wind]

i am not too fond of lpritchett

[oblique musk]

Shame. It’s my goal in life to be on as many lists as possible.

[lone crown]

I just wanna see updated 2025 moss grotto and if Dave is still there

To anyone capable of and will go there, if you’re here, remember to check for Dave 🙏

[rocky flicker]

You have been added to the list

[cloud rover]

It could follow after lace scene

[torpid orchid]

Didn't we already have that demo before?

[opaque sigil]

True

[viscid wind]

hot take things change after 6 years

[shrewd wigeon]

We did but leth says that the og demo is outdated

[rocky flicker]

Yeah idk why people are saying it’ll be moss grotto why on earth would they make a new demo for the same area they had the first demo for even if it’s changed a lot

[oblique musk]

Imma print this out and staple it to my fridge. Badge of honor.

[floral slate]

December 10th most likely

[shrewd wigeon]

That could be the case actually yeah

[rocky flicker]

Actually a super updated version of moss grotto could be a way to show new build as well as avoid spoilers ignore everything I just said it’s 100% gonna be moss grotto

[timid ridge]

1. It will give players who havent gotten to play the previous demo an opportunity to play it now
2. its obviously the most starter friendly area
3. To avoid spoiling as much as they can

[orchid locust]

the original demo is outdated team cherry said that since that they've added rtx and dlss framegen

[lone crown]

They have reflections in silksong

[torpid orchid]

Wait. TC said something???

[orchid locust]

silksong minimum requirements have been bumped up to a 5090

[floral slate]

We've effectively got a September-November launch window

[versed pollen]

Thank god

[lone crown]

Yeah that uni semester really is cooked

[timid ridge]

stg if this shit is releasing in december

[atomic sparrow]

🎅

[rocky flicker]

Too real :(

[cloud rover]

Silksong would have full game and allegedly have late game content at ACMI. I HEAVILY DOUBT THAT WOULD BE SPOILED.

[crystal raven]

No one ever said that

[rocky flicker]

I mean if you go to a museum and they have articles about the game and you’re disappointed you went to a MUSEUM to know everything there is to know about a game and got spoiled
You’re a fucking idiot

[floral slate]

When is the actual acmi exhibit again

[normal token]

18th sept

[atomic sparrow]

2

[zinc ginkgo]

NO
FUCK SS
ITS PROB COMING OUT AFTER JULY

[rocky flicker]

Omg omori

[timid ridge]

they kinda already spoiled all the moves with that spreadsheet

[zinc ginkgo]

IM GONNA GET SPOILED AT ACMI

[rocky flicker]

Hopefully there’s at least 2 more moves

[floral slate]

Okay wait

[lone crown]

Thats not the completed spritesheet

[rocky flicker]

I think October release date because August and September are already too busy

[zinc ginkgo]

Fuck ts
I quit being a beleiver
WHY TF WOULD IT RELEASE AFTER ACMI

[timid ridge]

right its called spritesheet not spreadsheet im so sorry chat

[rocky flicker]

Why are like 4 people so pressed about getting news I don’t get it

[floral slate]

Considering Gamescom is in August, there's a likelihood we could get news before/during/after the timeframe we have the demo

[rocky flicker]

Talk me through the anger and strife

[unkempt quarry]

I think release date at the gamescom demo is most likely

[zinc ginkgo]

1. I'll get spoiled for the full game
2. Im not an Austrailian
3. releasing it after acmi is crazy

Yk what im being a denier or doubter

[floral slate]

So a September release could still happen

[versed pollen]

Everytime I see someone bring up the "believer" and "denier" terms the precise definition of the two constantly seems in flux

[tall juniper]

I forgot about SS I think everyone should play dark souls 3

[atomic sparrow]

awesome !

[rocky flicker]

Is there a game or movie called stryfe that would be cool
@zinc ginkgo ok so you’re not Aussie which means ur not going to acmi, so just don’t look at it if u don’t want to be spoiled?

[timid ridge]

dark souls 3 is the worst of the FS games

[sinful flare]

@tall juniper Hi wanna play league of legends with me

[tall juniper]

Clearly you never played ds1

[zinc ginkgo]

RELEASING IT FIRST FOR AUSTRALIANS ONLY IS UNFAIR

THIS IS PROB THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER CRASHED OUT ON YES NEWS

[timid ridge]

and DS1 is literally the best

[rocky flicker]

Fuck all souls games before sekiro they were all ass
@zinc ginkgo that is not at all what is happening bro 😭

[opaque sigil]

They’re not releasing it for Australians first that’s insane

[torpid orchid]

By the way, why demo news is not pinned here?

[indigo mason]

How do y'all block specific search results from showing up in Ur feed for like YT or smth I don't want silksong spoilers from Gamescom leaks /genq

[floral slate]

Yeah lol

[tall juniper]

Ds1 fans getting knocked down once and Stunlocked

[rocky flicker]

Mod said it wasn’t news because he’s a baby and hates when anything happens

[timid ridge]

its peak immersion

[cerulean sable]

this fandom in a nutshell

make baseless assumption
starts believing assumption
yeah wtf is TC doing based on my assumption
ive lost hope i cant believe TC would be that stupid

all in a span of 20 minutes

[tall juniper]

Why the fuck is that my name who did that 😭

[versed pollen]

I think there are some browser extensions that can do that. I do not know the specifics though

[wet gull]

just heard the news, why the hell would team cherry waste time making a whole new demo like just a couple of months before release, that same time they could've probably used to get the game relseased before

[sinful flare]

idk

[atomic sparrow]

repeat for 100x 🗣️

[red zealot]

pretty accurate

[cerulean sable]

see what i mean?

[rocky flicker]

I say this with zero sarcasm I love it here

[indigo mason]

Yeah :/

[fair vault]

??? since when were they doing that

[opaque sigil]

The combo of making up something and then getting mad about it is crazy

[timid ridge]

do you think it takes a substantial amount of work to "Create a demo"?

[cerulean sable]

literally in 3 seconds after i posted it even

[atomic sparrow]

🐺 people need to learn to sit back and watch... not everything needs a reaction.

[rocky flicker]

Maybe gamers should be kept in cages and occasionally tormented with sticks clanging against the bars

[tall juniper]

The lion does not concern himself with ss-disc rambles

[wet gull]

not that much, but definitely some time

[timid ridge]

its literally just taking an area, and then stopping the player from being able to continue.

obviously its not as simple as that but you dont need to create anything for a demo, you only need to remove

[red zealot]

honestly im just wondering if this means the game is releasing before or after acmi

[atomic sparrow]

yeah dudes probably has to go hunt

[floral slate]

There's a pretty good stretch of time between the two

[wet gull]

also this probably means a silksong demo will be at acmi too, meaning it's no longer confirmed to be out before then

[red zealot]

i can wait if it drops in december tbh

[manic oar]

Crazy how silksong is going to be paywalled

[wet gull]

yeah we don't know anymore

[floral slate]

So maybe we'll get the release date at gamescom alongside the demo?

[red zealot]

honestly i just hope we got an announcement

[versed pollen]

We never knew if it would be releasing before or after....

[manic oar]

I'm so disappointed in them

[viscid wind]

i agree tc should make silksong free

[red zealot]

a lot of people hoped it was before acmi because team cherry didn't like to spoil apparently

[floral slate]

True, it's just speculation considering they'll be showing a lot at ACMI regarding silksong and it's dev

[atomic sparrow]

crazy to think that the character in silksong is a girl,,, too woke !!!!!!!!

[rocky flicker]

I hear it has gays

[red zealot]

nah hornet is a man guys

[manic oar]

How in only a month since leth saying they were not likely to make another demo to them making another demo. Unless Geoff is lying to us

[tall juniper]

TC making SS be like double the wokeness

[wet gull]

that's the worst case scenario, probably will drop before since we have confirmation it drops before holidays, so my personal guess is we get the demo at gamescom along with a release date for like early september

[timid ridge]

someone add hornet to this list

[rocky flicker]

Jordan

[rapid abyss]

Who tf is jordan 😭

[timid ridge]

naughty dog space game i forgot the name of

[red zealot]

so november the latest?

[tall juniper]

Is this just listing female characters
Alright uhhhhh Lara Croft, Tracer Overwat, and Parappa the rappa

[floral slate]

Pretty much

[nimble raptor]

They said it was at least releasing before the holidays

[rapid abyss]

No they have to be woke

[tall juniper]

So the same 3 that I mentioned

[red zealot]

i can work with that

[wet gull]

yeah most likely, but being TC and Leth, take it with a grain of salt

[rapid abyss]

I think lucia should be removed from the list because jason is also a protagonist

[red zealot]

im just praying the game doesn't get annouced and delayed like gta6

[rocky flicker]

Does Kris undertale count as woke

[cunning geode]

sure

[oblique musk]

Lara Croft is too hot to be woke

[cerulean sable]

my biggest issue isnt whether itll release this year or if the game lives up to the expectation, rather if this will inevitably cause Eugen to buff 5e Blindee and and 2nd Panzer Grens even more

[rocky flicker]

It already did lol

[manic oar]

Guys I want some clarification from leth

[tall juniper]

I'd say about 40% of these words are in the Bible

[wet gull]

it already kind of did before, so if they miss the release window this time, things will get pretty ugly for team cherry, so I don't think they will miss it

[red zealot]

oh i don't think i was a hk fan then lol

[rocky flicker]

What more do u want lol

[atomic sparrow]

👹 have you ever been a hollow knight fan... with your life on the line ?!??

[dusk pilot]

yes

[rocky flicker]

Omg blue lock has some genuinely hilarious shit

[atomic sparrow]

it does

[floral slate]

Things are already pretty ugly

[dusk pilot]

blue lock is like meme heaven

[rocky flicker]

You’re telling me this isn’t a comedy

[wet gull]

exactly, now imagine how much worse things will get if they delay the game again 💀

[dusk pilot]

people are actually gonna leave

[atomic sparrow]

"I'LL KILL YOU!!! EVEN IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO" - healthy young man with a loving family whilst playing soccer

[red zealot]

I understand people want news and communication from team cherry but a good part of the fandom is kinda like whiny babies

[opaque sigil]

not really

[rocky flicker]

What’re u gonna do, not play silksong when it releases? Nah you’ll whinge and bitch and keep waiting and then play it when it comes out halfway through next year

[tall juniper]

England

[floral slate]

Yeah lol

[dusk pilot]

silksongs gonna beat like e33 sale record isnt it

[quartz needle]

holy shit silksong news

[rocky flicker]

This made me giggle just a bit thank you

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/07/28/xbox-gamescom-2025/ im only like 45 minutes late too

[dusk pilot]

most wishlisted game after gta 6

[timid ridge]

what are you pointing at i cant see

[rocky flicker]

Idk e33 came in unknown and was peak silksong is coming in known and is shit, it might even out

[viscid wind]

Closer to an hour and a half

[cerulean sable]

we will stop games entirely

[dusk pilot]

leth is actually doing marketing partnering with xbox putting demo at events i think they are gonna crush that

[timid ridge]

silksong WILL outsell gta 6

[torpid orchid]

Is there any chance deadpool invades again and we get deadpool demo instead of silksong demo?

[dusk pilot]

cheese imagine mega incin in silksong imagine

[wintry silo]

that would the craziest marekting move of 2025

[cerulean sable]

i dint need Silksong to be the game to end all games

i just need it to outpeak Hollow Knight

[torpid nova]

Less than a month for a brand new silksong demo yayyy

[red zealot]

The fandom would implode

[dusk pilot]

no both deadpool and incin are red also hated by other characters in there verse

[tall juniper]

We got silksong overhype before gta6

[wet gull]

also team cherry said they didn't have time to make a blog post or communicate, so instead they made a whole ass new demo, makes total sense lmao

[rocky flicker]

On EVERYONE soul SILKSONG is goty

[cerulean sable]

people acting their lives are on the lime whether HK validates their expect cuz weve been cultivated by the r silksong brain rot of centering our entire personality around it

[tall juniper]

When you downloading silksong and you hear the sirens outside

[wintry silo]

it has to win right?

[dusk pilot]

why dont we know how much silksongs gonna cost

[slate wagon]

no way chat i heard ss news on my birthday??
the universe has blessed me

[timid ridge]

genuinely speaking there is a solid enough chance that gta 6 might be the highest grossing game of all time.

it might beat minecraft

[normal merlin]

1000000π

[velvet sentinel]

120 doolers

[viscid wind]

64 bit integer limit

[coarse leaf]

gta 5 already beat minecraft

[dusk pilot]

within my budget nice

[viscid wind]

no it didnt

[coarse leaf]

isnt gta 5 literally the highest grossing piece of media of all time

[dusk pilot]

gta 6 and silksong has the same playercount btw

[velvet sentinel]

Hell nah

[viscid wind]

that would be food

[timid ridge]

*excluding tetris because tetris shouldnt be on these lists its unfair

[sinful flare]

tetris doesnt deserve to be on highest selling games because the tetris company sucks ass

[timid ridge]

also tetris sucks and is bad

[viscid wind]

excluding tetris because it's not a game it's a skill test

[coarse leaf]

it is

[dusk pilot]

who even plays that game in the mid 25

[velvet sentinel]

That's like 80% of good selling games

[leaden delta]

Why pi

[versed pollen]

To make it easier to imagine the price in terms of radians

[rocky flicker]

Idk dude pink Floyd was pretty big

[coarse leaf]

minecraft is the best selling game of all time gta5 has generated more revenue than any other piece of media

[timid ridge]

when am i gonna have the time to bake 1 million pies

[velvet sentinel]

Pokemon

[opaque sigil]

pokemon wins as a franchise but that's not what they said

[rocky flicker]

Asspull competition araki is second only to silksong fans

[dusk pilot]

pokemon prints money and their games cant run to save their own lives

[velvet sentinel]

Pokemon is a piece of media aswell

[coarse leaf]

mfs here are actually just STUPID

[coarse leaf]

we are talking about revenue not game sales

[rocky flicker]

Number sold doesn’t mean amount of revenue, in terms of revenue gta 5 is still beaten by bunch of gacha shit and some old ass games

[dusk pilot]

announce it then steve tell us

[marsh ibex]

candy crush has to be number 4

[velvet sentinel]

Wtf terraria? That mid ass unoriginal slop game

[dusk pilot]

this shit was so spammed before slowmode

[viscid wind]

i know ONE person irl who owns a switch and ZERO people irl who owned any other nintendo console

that says more about you then it says about the switch

are you not afraid of losing it??? getting it stolen?? dropping breaking it???

I guess I'll know what the final boss is before the game releases now
Hooray!

because TC hates u specifically

#hk-meme for the stupid shit posts

[oak chasm]

Just don't watch vids about it and it's only a demo probably just gonna be like first 2 or 3 areas

[atomic sparrow]

no no make is the full 6 hours
go big or go home

[dusk pilot]

the andy slowmode

[tidal ruin]

ACMI specified they will be going into some of the late game bosses and thumbnails are more than enough, since no one on youtube has the decency to not ruin everyone's experience

[atomic sparrow]

the six hour dimension
if you happen to chat during a 6 hour slowmode but its lifted you'll still have to wait the full six hours

[dusk pilot]

all everyone is allowed to say is hey guys and never follow up

[opaque sigil]

good

[oak chasm]

Yeah it'll be hard to avoid but I'm determined to not let silksong be spoiled for me because basically all of Hollow Knight was spoiled for me

[dusk pilot]

i dont see silksong there can u circle it

[tidal ruin]

I am just as determined, my recommendation page on yt is pretty non-hk related right now so thats about all I have for hope

If only spoiler blocking extensions were available for mobile (someone please tell me they are)

[oblique musk]

I can hit you in the head really hard if anything happens

[dusk pilot]

can u introduce me to the wizard cheese?

My recommendation page is basically all hollow knight soo

Yeah, it’s called putting down your phone.

[dusk pilot]

i will let u win in showdown without rng

[viscid wind]

Slap yourself in the face every time you open youtube

[tidal ruin]

I knew someone was gonna be that guy

[opaque sigil]

for a small fee of a thousand dollars I'll rig an anvil system over your desk chair

[oak chasm]

Yes I did

[versed pollen]

Intergalactic Holdings LLC is crazy

[viscid wind]

or better yet nuke youtube youtube hasnt worked on my phone for a while now idk why

[dusk pilot]

u can never win random without ABUSING stallers

[oak chasm]

Vrah it's not that serious mods

[cerulean sable]

this will be ss discussion fandom in 2026 (it will be hk blue better than solksokg red cuz the latter took 2 long)

[sharp agate]

Whose lining up for midnight release of Skong

[tidal ruin]

Midnight where

[dusk pilot]

we all will be lining up on our computers

[oak chasm]

Can't wait for silksong grass ranking

[orchid locust]

i'm from the future and nintendo owns 12% of all star systems in colonized space and if you live in nintendo territory you're forced to pray to miyamoto 6 times a day under threat of imprisonment

[dusk pilot]

every 3 games is not once a blue moon

[versed pollen]

I could deal with this

[oak chasm]

I wonder what the prisons look like

[tidal ruin]

Its all gary bowsers

[orchid locust]

most of the prisons are work camps churning out as much pokemon merch as possible

[dusk pilot]

gay gary bowser?

[versed pollen]

Do they at least get to play the game for free

[oak chasm]

What if everyone went on strike and made only magikarp merch

[dusk pilot]

people will buy magikarp merch

[tidal ruin]

Plot twist magikarp is the new mascot anyways

[oak chasm]

These are important questions

[orchid locust]

they tried striking in 3711 and nintendo blew up the entire planet with their superweapon

[dusk pilot]

its called a death star

[versed pollen]

That's a copyrighted name

[oak chasm]

Okay but what companies did Nintendo buy out

[tidal ruin]

The unalivement sun

[broken stratus]

is it just me, or does silksongs wall jump look a bit odd?

[dusk pilot]

nintendo owns all copyrights everywhere for all time

[versed pollen]

Nintendo still has to compete with Google and Samsung

[dusk pilot]

samsung bankrupted due to sk's economy failing

[versed pollen]

Why don't we just ask the time traveler

[dusk pilot]

dr can u hear us

[orchid locust]

they bought out google in 2260, microsoft in 2304, amazon in 2519, blackrock+vanguard+blackstone in a collective merger in 2608, spacex in 2872 (which is how they got a headstart on galactic conquest), and the japanese government in 3044

[versed pollen]

Oh so they don't need to compete with Google it seems

[oak chasm]

THEY GOT MINECRAFT?

[sharp agate]

Babe please I need to know… Is Genshin Impact still online 🥺

[dusk pilot]

no

[broken stratus]

ah shit, they got all the anime

[orchid locust]

they turned minecraft into a 3d platformer and assimilated steve into the nintendo roster

[heady jolt]

everythings lining up for halloween release of silksong

[oak chasm]

Adding Steve to smash was a prediction..

[candid rose]

Bro whats this about a ss demo??

[dusk pilot]

so steve is in smash 100

[oak chasm]

Gamescom, silksong demo

[bronze vine]

Xbox post

[heady jolt]

halloween release would make so much sense considering hornet is related to spiders

[broken stratus]

watch team cherry pull the troll of the decade by releasing silksong in 2027

[dusk pilot]

must have been the wind

[orchid locust]

yeah hoyoverse is a fairly big company with a couple quadrillions in profit, they're headquartered somewhere in andromeda

[candid rose]

Did leth not say they wouldn't

[heady jolt]

leth was wrong probably

[dusk pilot]

me too AHEM AHEM

[versed pollen]

Either Leth was wrong or the definition Xbox and Geoff have for "demo" is different from what Leth has in mind
We don't really know anything about what will actually be present there, just that you can play a version of Silksong

[bronze vine]

Leth said no demo at ACMI

[heady jolt]

well he said he doubts tc would make a new demo for acmi

they did make it just now

[opaque sigil]

or Leth is EVIL and MALICIOUS and specifically wanted to trick me, personally, because I am so very oppressed

[bronze vine]

Mb I think I got that wrong

[versed pollen]

The most oppressed minority of all.... gamers....

[shell yacht]

You did

[candid rose]

Cant even play this shi😭

[dusk pilot]

or leth knew about his and they wanted to put the game in gamescom instead of a demo

[heady jolt]

if they have the full game at gamescom itll be crazy

[mild spindle]

So silksong releasing before gamescon is now impossible right..

[dusk pilot]

why is gamescom in germany????

[candid rose]

Would be very surprised

[orchid locust]

they also bought out neuralink which is why pokemon infrared/ultraviolet is a neuragame exclusive, recently though a whistleblower leaked that nintendo has been replicating people's consciousnesses through the neuragame for use in sentient advertising algorithms so they might be put on trial in the galactic consumer court

[mild spindle]

Tho all other games getting demos are already out so

[dusk pilot]

its a 5 minute walk from anywhere if u are fast enough

[versed pollen]

It often does

[dusk pilot]

yes it does but the pyhsics doesnt

[heady jolt]

if theres a demo i hope this means we get like some communication from tc

[polar stag]

What if we get a release date trailer at the supposed Direct, and then Leth or Team Cherry is like "more at Gamescom"? Like a trailer at the direct and then a bigger showcase and marketing dump with a demo at Gamescom.

[heady jolt]

im believing halloween release it would be so perfect

also bc it gives me enough time to beat pantheon 5

[dusk pilot]

but i am ALL IN for august

[rapid marten]

Fuck it I’m learning German because I can’t go to gamescon in Germany

[polar stag]

at this point I'm still of the mindset that the game is out before ACMI

[lilac moss]

Just woke up. Can we all agree Silksong could still release before this?

[dusk pilot]

no

[shell yacht]

Nothing that was said officially changes the window so no we cannot agree on anything

[polar stag]

I think we get the game sometime between Gamescom and ACMI

[shell yacht]

I think we get the game sometime between today and the end of the year

[viscid wind]

no

[lilac moss]

I think Silksong needs to be put 2-3 weeks prior to ACMI at least because the game will be spoiled there

[sharp agate]

Can we all hold a prayer circle and hold hands. Silk has to happen before December, pleeaaase

[dusk pilot]

why are tickets to germany so expensive

[rugged solstice]

everyone was all jumping on silksong releasing before ACMI demo event but now that its at Gamescom demo event too, suddenly it's preposterous to assume it still wont release before?

[true cipher]

We're getting the game before Christmas, there, now go finish P5, Outer Wilds, Nine Sols, Blue Prince or whatnot

[viscid wind]

it's almost like, they're both drastically different from eachother

[dusk pilot]

gamescom is a promotion event for games ACMI is a museum

[lilac moss]

That made me realize they aren’t making a new demo for ACMI, but they made one for this….

[viscid wind]

reuse the demo

[polar stag]

they're not gonna spoil a bunch of stuff about the game exclusively at an australian museum before the game's launch. no shot

[shell yacht]

Say that again but slower

[dire wing]

i dont want to see even the demo footage
what privileges do i have to sacrifice for that?

[dusk pilot]

no

[lilac moss]

Me stupid

[vagrant onyx]

isnt demo only available for people who visit gamescom?
r they gonna show us demo footage?

[dire wing]

they will live broadcast the event

[dusk pilot]

poeple upload demo footage online

[dire wing]

hk was special because i truly did not know anything beforehand. i want silksong to be the same

[polar stag]

there usually are exclusive demos at events like these that don't get put online

press demos and stuff

[dusk pilot]

gamescom is a public demo

[shell yacht]

They all die in the end

[dire wing]

any hope for silksong in the direct this week then?

[shell yacht]

There's no direct

[dusk pilot]

there is no tooth fairy there is no santa and there is no direct this week

[rugged solstice]

they will announce it tomorrow morning

[dusk pilot]

that copium will be 19.90

[lone crown]

Not a month goes by without a stupid direct rumor

[polar stag]

even at gamescom there are usually private presentations and demos.

[sharp agate]

https://tenor.com/view/chickfila-hungry-food-gif-5227364

[dusk pilot]

some of that stuff is not cooked

[lone crown]

Less than 72 hours remain

[dusk pilot]

did silksong break discord?

[lone crown]

Betting on someone disabling your embed manually

[patent knot]

But but but but but Nate the hate said so and then doubled down!!!!

[hidden fern]

Leth please spawn

[shell yacht]

Should change his name to Nate the dumbass

[polar stag]

Leth is too scared of the community

[lone crown]

https://tenor.com/view/donkey-kong-mine-cart-ride-dispair-diddy-kong-gif-22844465

[dusk pilot]

nate said he thinks the direct is in august now

[rugged solstice]

you can't just say perchance

[lone crown]

People when its August 1st and no direct has happened

[shell yacht]

So he's just as bad as the people on this channel randomly guessing until it becomes true

[dusk pilot]

perchance

[shell yacht]

Why do y'all listen to these idiots

[patent knot]

No way. You gotta be silking me

[rugged solstice]

some of you are very confident about being right about no july direct when there's still 3 days left (me when i bait)

[shell yacht]

They have like 18 hours to announce a direct or it's not happening and it's really unlikely that they're going to do one on the last day

[dusk pilot]

i can sell the cope for 3 more days

[patent knot]

I couldn’t find anything on that after a quick google search

[rugged solstice]

it's unlikely to be having one in July in the first place, but i guess with the switch 2 changing some timings around

[shell yacht]

Japan's time zone is ahead of us right? Or are they really behind

[rough quiver]

They are tmrw

[lone crown]

“There will be a direct in the beginning of July”
“There will be a direct late in July”
“There will be a direct in August”

[dusk pilot]

check the subreddit for nintendo leaks as well as silksong subreddit

[patent knot]

Sure thing boss

[rough quiver]

18 hrs ahead I think

[dusk pilot]

i cant hear u

[rugged solstice]

almost all major Nintendo presentations in the last 5 years have been announced at 9:00 or 10:00 am EST the day before, with a majority of them occuring on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So basically if they don't say shit tomorrow by 10, doubters win. Even then, if a direct happens, silksong isn't guaranteed.

[trim estuary]

doubters win
Common sense wins*

[rough quiver]

Nu uh it’ll shadow drop tmrw

[shell yacht]

No it won't

[dusk pilot]

if doubter wins everyone loses if beleivers wins everyone wins choose carefully

[trim estuary]

I wish

[shell yacht]

And the exceptions to direct having a day worth of notice is the ones that have like a week notice

[patent knot]

Still didn’t find anything. Would you mind sending a link?

[dusk pilot]

or like pokemon directs which have like a 2 month notice for like nothing

[rugged solstice]

yeah that typically goes for the mini/partner/single game directs

[shell yacht]

Gamescom is going to have a demo

too much work for powdered

[serene chasm]

the fuck is going on

[dusk pilot]

u forgot copium induced cooks

[serene chasm]

why 30 sec slowmode

[shell yacht]

.

[lone crown]

I did predict a silksong screenshot in a dream so this checks out

[patent knot]

Well like I’m 90% sure the guy is misinformed or trolling

[trim estuary]

Where is the pinned message then Powdered…

[shell yacht]

You're both arguing about the rumor about a direct neither of you has anything to go with

[patent knot]

We’re not arguing

[rugged solstice]

yes news DSN, better make a pin here

[shell yacht]

You're both misinformed and you're both believing random bs

You don't have to be hostile to be arguing, you are arguing different points because you disagree on something that is an argument

[serene chasm]

we got news?

[pine frost]

Are we feeling the yes news?

[rugged solstice]

literally check DSN

[trim estuary]

Apparently???

[serene chasm]

I dont wanna

[lone crown]

Xbox has announced the gamescom event in Germany, from August 20-24th where Silksong will be included and have a playable NEW demo

[patent knot]

Yeah kind of. Silksong demo August 20th

[shell yacht]

Vague Xbox tweet about a silk song demo? I didn't see the actual wording about a demo so I didn't pin it

[rugged solstice]

curly save us from this slow mode

[shell yacht]

No you need to slow mode

[serene chasm]

Just found the page. Well shit

[odd zinc]

we lost… or won…. Wtf

[lone crown]

They sent a link to their site in the tweet with the details

[trim estuary]

Does included here mean just the demo or does it mean more news as well…

[shell yacht]

Well since I don't have Twitter I guess it just hates me and didn't show me the link on the browser

[serene chasm]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2025/07/28/xbox-gamescom-2025/

[lone crown]

Yep

[frozen sandal]

Yes news

[opaque sigil]

Demo’s the only thing indicated to be there

[patent knot]

I’m hoping the fact that the other games that are getting demos are already out is a good sign, but if I’ve learned anything from waiting all these years it’s to keep expectations low

[lone crown]

Just demo for now no idea if we’ll get more info during

[shell yacht]

That means absolutely nothing

[rugged solstice]

it means silksong tomorrow

[serene chasm]

We'll get some more info. Even if its just some new mechanics or some old ones in action

[patent knot]

Very cynical outlook

[frozen sandal]

Nintendo direct rumors are pmo✌🏿

[shell yacht]

Realistic is not cynical, hoping in things that were not said is delusional

[serene chasm]

Hopefully after the demo might come to steam

[odd zinc]

ND is coming?

[orchid locust]

pro tip simply ignore any silksong news until the minute it releases ✌️

[frozen sandal]

Idk, everyone is saying it for clickbaiting

[trim estuary]

Gamescom @ Xbox stream maybe. The demo used for Xbox is probably the demo that’ll be used at ACMI also

[rugged solstice]

i doubt they'd put a demo on steam, atp just wait and release the game when it's done

[patent knot]

No shot tbh

[odd zinc]

Uhh

[trim estuary]

Zero chance

[frozen sandal]

I hope the new demo will have more content than the 2019 one

[lone crown]

Demo would get torn apart by dataminers
But an actual demo post-release would be cool

[serene chasm]

A man can dream

[shell yacht]

There's no way they put the demo out for people to play online

[rugged solstice]

that shit would be datamined frame 1

[serene chasm]

Its just the 2019 one with updated art assets

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[tender charm]

I was thinking that silksong comes out before augs 20. The event is a way for people to play silksong to see if they wanna buy it by playing the demo, then ACMI will have the full game since leth said that there's probably not a chance for a new demo and that acmi usually does full games anyway..?

Or maybe its my believer outlook outshining the bad side 💔

[normal token]

In this video essay I shall go through why this gamecom demo will be the public demo after the game releases fr

Also how Leth killed my dog

[trim estuary]

This is definitely them ramping up advertising for Silksong so SOON™

[rugged solstice]

what advertising 😭

[lament coyote]

source?

[lone crown]

I better get me some youtube ads of silksong

[sinful flare]

NB is coming. The nonbinary people are coming

[rugged solstice]

curly keeping it based per usual

[patent knot]

Check pins

[lone crown]

Curly doing what Powdered couldn’t, the GOAT /j dont kill me

[trim estuary]

It’s a playable demo via Xbox in a video game event it’s basically advertising

[lone crown]

If they have last judge in any capacity in the demo i will die of jealousy

[tired swallow]

Y'all honestly I don't get why people think the Gamescom demo disproves a pre-ACMI release

[tranquil mist]

one day the wait will be over guys... one day

[lament coyote]

and is that webpage reliable info?

[shell yacht]

/ban user:@lone crown

[serene chasm]

please dont post r/silksong links here

[rugged solstice]

he will be missed

[lone crown]

Curly becomes even more valid

[serene chasm]

straight from the horses mouth

[opaque sigil]

Consider:
it would be better to fight it with your own loadout as the initial experience

[shell yacht]

Okay but what if the demo loadout has something that gets cut in the final game

[lament coyote]

sorry i don't know what does this saying mean ive never heard it

[still flint]

GREEN

[rugged solstice]

curly why do you have the Muted role lmao

[serene chasm]

lol. means its a direct source. The site is xbox.com so yeah. its legit

[orchid locust]

the man in my walls told me that silksong isn't coming out this year i think this should be considered as official news

[lament coyote]

also my head hurts like hell because i've tried to get a win11 on a usb for 2 hours and failed miserably. nice service, hp, i hope you all burn for your sins in your company

[serene chasm]

Cause I can have all the roles

[rugged solstice]

windows 11
head hurts like hell
sounds about right

[patent knot]

Considering it’s an actual event and date I don’t think this’ll be another “next 12 months” situation

[normal token]

Why don't you have the team cherry role then

[serene chasm]

Cause Im not a filthy liar

[trim estuary]

A delay is always possible

[frozen sandal]

Wait will everyone be able to play it?

[patent knot]

Checkmate liberals

[rugged solstice]

if you fly to Germany

[trim estuary]

If you’re in Cologne, Germany at the time, yeah

[frozen sandal]

Scam

[lament coyote]

so basically now it's p much confirmed the demo is getting out before the game itself right?

[rugged solstice]

OR when the game releases before the event. silksong tomorrow!

[serene chasm]

Silksong isnt real. Its just a scam to get people to go to Cologne

[shell yacht]

There's already been a demo do you know how demos work?

[trim estuary]

Is this demo news #hk-announcements worthy
