Witcher 3

[bitter marlin]

i was thinking of lego marvel super heroes 2 but that also works

open world: great! best open world in a lego game (imo)

levels: they suck

[dusk pilot]

People above the age of six play lego games

[bitter marlin]

and you have to beat every level to ublock the open worldp

[bitter marlin]

yeah

i own every lego game and ive beaten almost all of them

[dusk pilot]

Never knew that

[bitter marlin]

alot of them are great

alot of them suck

[dusk pilot]

But all of them are for kids

[median fractal]

When do Nintendo usually announce their directs? I forgot

[midnight trout]

like a day or 2 b4

[median fractal]

Yeah but that day is today... (for me at least)

[dusk pilot]

No directs no santa and no tooth fairy

[ashen hearth]

If everything goes well it should be announced at 5 AM on the Nintendo Today app

[bitter marlin]

alot of nintendo games are for kids

kids can have good games

[dusk pilot]

So

I am a kid

[bitter marlin]

kids deserve good games

[dusk pilot]

No they dont one tried to bite me

[lone crown]

Why would there be a direct

Am i missing smth

[dusk pilot]

No

There is no direct today

[median fractal]

That is literally the final hope really but no you're not missing anything

[dusk pilot]

Only skong tommorow

[lone crown]

Alright

[dusk pilot]

We got demo in like less than a month

[ashen hearth]

Most Nintendo titles try to target a wide auidence so anyone can play them

Kids and adults can both enjoy them

[pallid plinth]

Many games get worse for pandering to casuals 🥱

[dusk pilot]

Like overwatch

[pallid plinth]

Not even just difficulty

Like smash bros melee to brawl, just remove all the advance tech

and add tripping for some reason

[dusk pilot]

Overwatch got murdered in sleep by blizzard for no reason

[pallid plinth]

actually neither casual or try hards liked tripping i bet

[dusk pilot]

Any skill character ok u suck

[pallid plinth]

TF2 killer btw

They made OW2 and deleted everyones crates or something

[umbral ether]

i think valve will kill tf2 before anyone else

[pallid plinth]

and didnt even make that pve mode

[dusk pilot]

Valve is decent devs at least

[pallid plinth]

which was the original point of ow2

[dusk pilot]

To make money

[pallid plinth]

Not for tf2, because they arent on it

but in general ya

[dusk pilot]

They are bringing lootboxes back btw

For no reason

[pallid plinth]

but with how they work they could just abandon a game if they feel like it

[dusk pilot]

Netease is also killing their hero shooter

To pander to rocket heff and cd mainsb

[pallid plinth]

marvel rivals?

[dusk pilot]

Yeah

Bascially the same game

[umbral ether]

how are they killing it

[pallid plinth]

I never enjoyed it cause everyone just feels like a bullet sponge

[dusk pilot]

Tanks are misreable

Dps are misrable

Supports are misreable

[umbral ether]

i was gonna play it when ultron came out but i just didn't

[dusk pilot]

U cant do shit for 12 seconds if luna ults

Good luck if they have loki

Nerfed all characters that are fun

[umbral ether]

what is eomm

[dusk pilot]

They just want u just shoot your gun down main

[pallid plinth]

they dont really know how to balance

waiting for more skins

😏

[dusk pilot]

They are just relying on the pervs

[pallid plinth]

engagement optimized matchmaking

match making isnt really based on player skill behind the scenes

[dusk pilot]

Gives u good games if u lose

Bad games if u win

[umbral ether]

good and bad games how

[dusk pilot]

The biggest problem with mr is the sheer diffrence on skill in the same ranks

[dusk pilot]

Good teamates and shit teammates

[umbral ether]

oh

[pallid plinth]

they will specifically give you better / shittier teams depending on how you are winning or losing

[umbral ether]

that feels like it punishs you for winning

[pallid plinth]

instead of just giving equal ranked players

[dusk pilot]

It wants to just play more

No placement matches rampant throwers grifers and smurfs

Just 15 min bans

At least blizzard would have nuked them

So much racism

[umbral ether]

im glad i don't have a intreset in multiplayer shooter games

[dusk pilot]

U are blessed my friends

[pallid plinth]

every rank isnt too far skill wise from each other till celestials are randomly way better than everyone else

[dusk pilot]

Brother i have seen so many boosted otp and rocket jeff and cd mains u cant comprehend

I was point as tank instead of healing me he was doing damage for no reason in ot

[hoary creek]

I really only hope we will be able to play the demo on steam like a week later, considering the game is supposedly releasing before december according to Leth, but tbf, they dont even really talk to him either if he didnt know of a demo. I just dont wanna make the drive to Cologne yknow

[pallid plinth]

or watching your healers miss every heal on moving teammates

[pallid plinth]

youre going?

[dusk pilot]

As cd

Can skongers even survive cologne

[pallid plinth]

whats wrong with cologne

[viscid wind]

hygiene

[dusk pilot]

Yeah are we gonna die if we wash ourselves

[fossil raft]

Silksong yesterday

[dusk pilot]

Man the mr sub is so insane

They legit want hard counters

If i pick this the one i am countering cant play the game

[hearty magnet]

hot take: I want silk song to have spiderman ps4 physics /hj

at least have swinging though

that'd be neat

[umbral ether]

oh cool a murder drones pfp

[hearty magnet]

:0

mans knows what murder drones is

major w

[umbral ether]

i started watching from the piloit

[hearty magnet]

same

[umbral ether]

i have also watched all of liam's other shows aside from his creepypasta stuff

[hearty magnet]

My entire YT page is built off of milking disassembly require remixes

[dusk pilot]

Spideman has silk hornet has silk marvel crossover confirmed

[hearty magnet]

TwT

[hearty magnet]

lmao

[umbral ether]

who is your favorite character in murder drones

[hearty magnet]

"GTA 6 before silksong"

[hearty magnet]

J next question

[dusk pilot]

We got a hk marvel crossover before gta6 less fucking go

[umbral ether]

gta 6 is coming out next year so we will get silksong before gta 6

[hearty magnet]

here's hoping

[dusk pilot]

Bruh

Skong 25

[umbral ether]

it is confirmed and unlike last time i highly doubt it will be delayed

[dusk pilot]

Go ALL IN

[hearty magnet]

let's hope brothers

huff that hopium

anyway uh

yeah hi

i'm new

[dusk pilot]

Dont hope beleuve

Hi new

[hearty magnet]

Believeium

[umbral ether]

that is intersting

e33 is updating

[dusk pilot]

When is the last time u played

[hearty magnet]

i make music, write halfassed fanfic

[hearty magnet]

wut

[umbral ether]

eariler today

[dusk pilot]

Damn new dlc?

[umbral ether]

it is only 2.5 gb so prob not

[frosty light]

a what

[dusk pilot]

They compressed it that much

[umbral ether]

i assume it is a patch

[hearty magnet]

i'm actually working on a hollow knight combo mix thing rn

[umbral ether]

i have most achivements neat

[hearty magnet]

if yall wanna hear it i;ll post in art

[dusk pilot]

This

[umbral ether]

there is no way in hell im doing this one

[frosty light]

oh yeah well that was already true in 2017

[umbral ether]

i do not want to play only up e33 edition

[dusk pilot]

But no crossover till the big 25

[hearty magnet]

oof

[midnight trout]

I was gonna say just steam shader precache or smthn but probs just small patches all around at that size

[opaque sigil]

reasonable that one's annoying

[umbral ether]

im only missing 3 monocco skills

[opaque sigil]

doing a tower run through should net you all of them iirc

although maybe not ||grosse tete||

[hoary creek]

I dont wanna, I can since I live 2 hours away but I went last year so I really dont wanna do it again, plus the row is gonna be longer than the Eps**** list

[opaque sigil]

then don't

[warped umbra]

use it as an opportunity to take a break from the cesspool that is called the internet

[hoary creek]

Well I wont so theres that, the only thing I would appreciate is a public Demo, be it the old one

[warped umbra]

i cant wait for silksong, although TCs marketing for it atm seems very strange, i wonder what theyre cooking

[hoary creek]

Well we have a time window of effectively 4 months (since December is pretty much excluded) so that wouldnt hurt honestly

[warped umbra]

i shall put my trust in em

[umbral ether]

i will be happy if silksong is just more hollow knight

[warped umbra]

im excited for a fire game

[hoary creek]

I just hope that I will be able to Silk my Song in the game anytime soon

ANYTIME soon

[umbral ether]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-silksong-hollow-knight-silksong-news-silksong-news-gif-24830625

[warped umbra]

i guess there appears to be a trend of there being footage for silksong shown every time theres a new console its available to play on

like Switch 2, the ROG, etc

i wonder if thats just seperate to their actual marketing scheme for the full game

idk

[hoary creek]

I am just really astounded by the fact that they publish a Demo, like 4 months before a reveal Trailer or any substantial news, I assume they are trying to ease the wait?

Wow holy english

[umbral ether]

i should prob do lune's relationship quest

[hoary creek]

But like I would be surprised if they finished the Demo 4 months before its Release so they probably had it in their Pocket like 2 months ago or something

Although gamescom is a pretty good Event to showcase it on so it makes kinda sense

But then again. Why now?

[umbral ether]

i wonder why sometimes i can see discord messages in the top right corner when im playing a game on steam but othertimes i don't

[hoary creek]

I swear this studio is a rather intriguing one, might I add

They certainly got their...own way of marketing the most anticipated indie game of all time

Anyways time to Silk once more, thine Song must be Silked

[quartz cave]

hi gays

[umbral ether]

oh that seems good

[opaque sigil]

it uh is fine

it doesn't stack with a lot of other damage sources on more optimized nuke builds

definitely worth having on pretty much everyone though

[pallid plinth]

They do weed

[frozen frigate]

the bandle today was such a banger i haven't heard it since first grade 💔

[opaque sigil]

is that a band wordle

[frozen frigate]

indeed

[sinful flare]

bandle? like bandlewoods from league of legends

[frozen frigate]

you get progressively more instruments added to a part of the song until you can guess it

[hearty magnet]

guys btw i have a quick question since this is an active channel

[umbral ether]

that scared me a bit

[hearty magnet]

is there a requirement for image perms? cuz i wanted to post my WIp for a HK little remox combo song thing, and i can't. there is no upload options

[umbral ether]

not be new knight

[frozen frigate]

its a pretty fun little game i do it with my friend every morning but unfortunately a lot of it requires you to pay other than just doing the daily thing 💔

[hearty magnet]

o

:P

[sinful flare]

#support-and-faq has answers to your questions

[umbral ether]

it will go away eventully

[hearty magnet]

oki doki

[hearty magnet]

listen, i am the slightest bit mentally derranged

logical thinking is a struggle for me

:3

[sinful flare]

omg hi the slightest bit mentally deranged

[hearty magnet]

:P

[umbral ether]

that is a lot of exp for a fight i one shot

[sinful flare]

its ok thinking is a struggle in general for me

[opaque sigil]

perhaps a hint overleveled

[hearty magnet]

felt frfr

that me on gawd

[sinful flare]

for eel? on cod?

[umbral ether]

yeah

[hearty magnet]

i love eel and cod

sushi is delimscious

[sinful flare]

i was doing a reference btu true..

[odd egret]

Silksong… after it gets released it’s Silksung

[hearty magnet]

i mdo not know reference

sowee

[odd egret]

MD SPOTTED

[hearty magnet]

:D

TADC spotted

[odd egret]

YAYAYAY

[hearty magnet]

every tiome i say sowee i have a brief moment of lucidity shere i think to myself "I am fully grown adult human, why am i not serious"

[umbral ether]

i wonder why sciel has no quest

[dusk pilot]

Because she is the best

[opaque sigil]

it's a bit strange but at the same time what would it even be

[umbral ether]

i have not used her since her tutorial

[frozen frigate]

anyone else love sweetcorn

where my sweetcorn fans at

[opaque sigil]

rookie mistake

[dusk pilot]

Why not she is the best

Also sweet corn is the best snack in winters

[umbral ether]

my team i have been using since act 2 is verso maelle monocco

[frozen frigate]

i got some in smoked paprika and salt and pepper right now

[dusk pilot]

Bruh

[dusk pilot]

Give me some

Just throw it through the screen

[coarse leaf]

Direct?

I'm losing my goddamn mind

[dusk pilot]

No direct no santa no tooth fairy

[opaque sigil]

tbf e33 doesn't do a great job of incentivizing you to swap things around but sciel is really nice for a lot of endgame stuff

[coarse leaf]

There's no tooth fairy no Easter bunny and no nintendo direct 😢

[dusk pilot]

Also no santa very important

[coarse leaf]

That was a megamind reference

[opaque sigil]

she's not as good as maelle but she's a clear second and she does very different things

[dusk pilot]

I know but i want to ruin childrens christmas

[knotty goblet]

(100% real)

[umbral ether]

oh it's primaslop

[coral prawn]

gg 💔

[umbral ether]

and it is a silkpost

[dusk pilot]

Peak combo

Only thing better would be to incorrectly flair it

[knotty goblet]

daddy primacon my goat

[umbral ether]

this primacon?

[knotty goblet]

that's mommy primacon

[red mulch]

we're not getting that direct are we

[clever socket]

primaclickbait

whens the direct with silksong demo planned?

insane by the way a DEMO? and so casually announced too

[median fractal]

Real ones know that Discord messages display "Today at" if its sent today 🔥

[umbral ether]

it just shows the time

[frozen frigate]

there's something about Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd man

[knotty goblet]

As mo pointed out, I’m not actually sure if it would have said Today at, but it certainly wouldn’t have included the full date either.

[rotund peak]

The cope prevails

[timid sail]

Is Direct confirmed?

[red mulch]

nope

[timid sail]

shi

[rotund peak]

Yeah it's rumoured

[umbral ether]

demo is coming at gamescon next month

[red mulch]

we've got, what, another 5 hours until we can stop hoping? then again, the NoA channel is constantly posting new trailers; I doubt it's going to happen

[rotund peak]

And (probably) ACMI in September

[median fractal]

True actually, though I think that was just a discord change at some point? I dont remember.

[timid sail]

maybe full release by that time?

[knotty goblet]

We’re not the only community praying for this direct though, so chances are moderately high as several things have taken place to lead several communities to hope for a direct

[rotund peak]

I hope so :(

[knotty goblet]

It’s a fake message entirely

[median fractal]

The one in the image is I know that

[knotty goblet]

Sorry I misread what you said

[red mulch]

i'm not even expecting skong there at this point but a metroid prime 4 release date would've been awesome

[timid sail]

what are the other ones?

[rotund peak]

Animal crossing is one

[red mulch]

though the game is allegedly unfinished and will be pushed back

[knotty goblet]

If your search up Nintendo Direct July 2025, you’ll find other non-silksong related peeps talking about it, if you want the communities specifically add reddit to the end of the search query

[knotty goblet]

Ye sorry I misread what you said, I think you’re right cause I did initially think you were correct about the “Today at”

[knotty goblet]

You’re probably right but as believer I must cope with all hope

[red mulch]

yeah skong during a direct with hopefully more than 3 seconds of footage would've been awesome

but it's metroid prime 4 i'm the most excited for lol

[rotund peak]

Hey as long as we get actual news I don't mind getting even zero new footage

[rotund peak]

Lmao fair

[red mulch]

my dream is getting a message from TC themselves, like they do these cuts to developers sometimes

[rotund peak]

Oooh that would be cool, idk if TC would do something like that, just feels unlikely (would love it though)

[median fractal]

I just wanna hear more man. I dont like that there's another demo

[knotty goblet]

6 years ago such a thing was not outside the realm of possibility

[red mulch]

tbh it's how i'd see the "the release date will come from TC themselves"

it's a frequent thing for indie games coming to nintendo consoles, the one i remember the most is that fucking animal well trailer

[red mulch]

eh ultimately a demo is better than nothing

[median fractal]

Actually? I disagree!

[red mulch]

what i think is absurd is people panicking over spoilers lmao

[knotty goblet]

hopefully by demo, they just mean the full game but it locks you out after x time or x progress

[red mulch]

i think it's going to be like the moss grotto or whatever the starting arena is called with a few closed doors

[median fractal]

A demo = exclusively letting certain people play (who are present at the event), and spoilers just filling up the internet

[rotund peak]

Wdym? ACMI has said that the exhibition will go into depth about some of the games hardest boss fights

[red mulch]

i meant about the demo

[rotund peak]

Oh okay yeah I doubt the demo would spoil much

[red mulch]

it's doubtful imo that the demo will contain anything more than what the E3 demo from 2019 had

[red mulch]

just admit that you're jealous, nothing wrong with that lol. i for one am pretty jealous and i'm embracing it fully

[opaque sigil]

if the existence of the demo upsets you you need to touch grass

[median fractal]

Didnt say I am not

Its kind of frustrating though

[jade canopy]

It’s probable that the demo won’t spoil much
But also

I just… I just didn’t want a demo and I want to know nothing about it

[red mulch]

i mean event demos have been a thing since big gaming events started happening

[knotty goblet]

side effect of jealousy

[median fractal]

well but also spoilers dude

[jade canopy]

I hope YouTube isn’t gonna explode when the demo releases

[opaque sigil]

there has been a silksong demo for six years

who gives a fuck

[median fractal]

I dont want another "EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT [INSERT SOME IMPORTANT ASS DETAIL IN HERE]" title

[red mulch]

this

[knotty goblet]

it probablu will for the better or for the worse

[red mulch]

like it's a demo, it's going to be like what

20 minutes at most

one or two areas

if you want to legit go in absolutely blind then just idk get off the internet

i'm just going to watch the demo footage and enjoy it a lot once it pops up

[rotund peak]

Oh it would have to, biggest content about this game in 6 years

[median fractal]

kinda difficult when you're eternally on the internet alright

[red mulch]

yeah sadly

[median fractal]

it will

[red mulch]

like i doubt the game is going to release anytime soon but the demo isn't some tragic event people are making it out to be

idk i'm not old and remember being very excited about game demos in general lol

[rotund peak]

I really think the spoilers to worry about will come from the ACMI exhibit, if the game isn't out by then, that is

The demos don't worry me, personally

[red mulch]

yeah acmi will without doubt bear some spoilers

which is problematic as the game won't come out by the exhibit lol

[rotund peak]

Well, nothing's confirmed

[median fractal]

Anyways can we like, talk about how TC havent mentioned the demo of their own game anywhere?

...Not even Leth?

[red mulch]

i do believe it was more of an xbox thing tbh

like, the demo was made at their request

[pliant cove]

yeah this, a demo is not spoilers, but what we know will be at ACMI will certainly be major spoilers

[opaque sigil]

that isn't remotely strange

[median fractal]

Not from TC really but like

[knotty goblet]

I think most people are just concerned that we are getting a demo so close to the game's release, which while it's not exactly uncommon (games already released are said to be getting demons at the gamescom too), it's also not really how demos are viewed in the modern day, as I would assume people more commonly interpret demos as early access content that they can use to give feedback to the devs, early on in the game's development.

[pliant cove]

I still don't understand, not even a RT?

[opaque sigil]

not from anybody

[viscid wind]

is he still in a metting with the crowsworn team? must be pretty important

[pliant cove]

lmao

[red mulch]

fair though i don't believe it's a feedback demo, it's a "presentation of the final product" demo

[pliant cove]

Leth at least retweeted Nintendo for the 2025 release window

[knotty goblet]

Yes I think so too

[red mulch]

but i don't think we're close to the release date either

[viscid wind]

we are? it's literally releasing within the next 4 months.

smhhh

[opaque sigil]

it's bait just ignore it

[rotund peak]

Yeah, more than what we got in 2022

[viscid wind]

#sk-discussion falls off strongly when the release date is mentioned..

[rotund peak]

Do you remember 2022? Anything is possible

[red mulch]

again i am a doomer not a baiter

there's a difference ok

[pliant cove]

in 2022 he retweeted the new trailer from xbox but not the "next 12 months" thing

[viscid wind]

the release window was not acknowledged until the delay

[rotund peak]

Ahhh okay yeah

[red mulch]

i just don't really think the game is releasing this year

[viscid wind]

the most different case of all time

[red mulch]

my bet would be Q2 2026

[rotund peak]

Well yes, the new release window has more evidence, but the game has still be delayed in the past, and it can be delayed again

[red mulch]

at the earliest

[pliant cove]

that's kinda dumb to think bc we've had multiple confirmations that it is?

[opaque sigil]

🎣

[red mulch]

it wouldn't be the first time TC delayed the game lol

[sinful flare]

hes stuck there yeah

[pliant cove]

they cannot delay it a second time 2 years later

[sinful flare]

[rotund peak]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-hornet-hollow-knight-gif-5503458344524908864

[median fractal]

Look, I am sorry, but another delay would not casually pass really. And it would make absolutely no fucking sense at this point

as in, with all that we know from this year

[rotund peak]

I'd say it's quite unlucky, but not nonsensical

[pliant cove]

it's basically impossible

[knotty goblet]

The 2023 delay was only deemed a delay because of what Xbox had said right? If xbox had stayed quiet, was there something else that hinted towards a 2023 release? Genuinely asking because I wasn't around back then

[pliant cove]

nope, only that most other games showed on that xbox showcase did come out in 2022/23 but silksong wasn't the only one that did not

[viscid wind]

this is legit the worst organized server ive ever seen why is this a discussion forum and not a hundred people's injoke playground

[rotund peak]

Xbox saying that all the games shown would come out within 12 months (they then qualified Silksong also)

[hoary creek]

It was not? What else didnt come out during that stated Release window

[knotty goblet]

But Leth was only forced to make this comment because of what Xbox said, right?

[opaque sigil]

not really forced

[red mulch]

why not? they are making it first and foremost for themselves and they are without a doubt perfectionists

[opaque sigil]

what this indicates is that it was an actual window tc had at one point

[pliant cove]

ark 2

[red mulch]

and working with perfectionists is hard because they are never happy

[hoary creek]

I mean Xbox wouldnt have said it if TC didnt give them the ok

[rotund peak]

It likely was, yeah

[knotty goblet]

Well, I'm using "forced" loosely here, more so that he was kinda influenced to clear everything up

[opaque sigil]

it explicitly was

[hoary creek]

I see, good to know

[rotund peak]

Well, the fans would've be pissed so that likely influenced it too

[knotty goblet]

I'm just wondering that if xbox had stayed quiet, the "delay" wouldn't have been publicly known?

[pliant cove]

doesn't have even a release window. And I'm sure there's some other title from that showcase that's still not out but those are the two I'm certain about

[rotund peak]

If Silksong wasn't in the showcase, yeah

[red mulch]

like i can see skong getting delayed bc they think that it needs to be absolutely perfect and tbh if that is the case then it might never arrive

[pliant cove]

yeah

[hoary creek]

I feel like TC was just like "alr Xbox the game will Release at that point, and then when the delay happened Leth was probably told by William to post that

[rotund peak]

Well, let's not be rash

[red mulch]

just because they have pretty much infinite resources and will get burned out if they keep tweaking it endlessly

[knotty goblet]

That is pretty much what happened, as per Leth in this interview from 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDSVnMEV3K8&t=6187s

[rotund peak]

That seems like it was the most likely timeline, yeah

[red mulch]

i mean i just have experience working with people like that

[hoary creek]

Thought so

[knotty goblet]

I don't think TC themselves would have actually publicly said anything about 2023 if xbox didn't say what they did, even if the game was still present in the showcase in 2022, just cause no dates were actually revealed

[red mulch]

i am a musician and there are folks out there who think that something needs to reach this unattainable perfection if you're to release it

[pliant cove]

I'm still all in for it coming before ACMI, and if it's after it will be just some days after the exhibit starts. It'd be bad to have major spoilers there before the release IMO

[knotty goblet]

I hope you are right

[red mulch]

tbh if it were to release before ACMI i'd bet on september 5th

two weeks after gamescom

[cerulean sable]

Whats funny about the BlueSR interview was (to paraphrase)

"Xbox asked us, hey are you planning to release next year? and we were like i mean, thats the plan right? Then Xbox a few days later announced 'Hey Silksong is releasing next year' which, i dont necessarily agree with but, essentially when we were about to hit 2023 we had to announce the delay"

[rotund peak]

Well but the fact that Xbox mentioned that all the games in the showcase were coming out in the next 12 months would've had people guessing if not for Xbox's later clarification

[cerulean sable]

so i still blame Xbox on that lmao

[pliant cove]

yeah I think it'll be a new trailer or release announcement during Gamescom appart from the demo for a release in early September

[knotty goblet]

That's what I mean, if xbox hadn't said the 12 months thing

[hoary creek]

We will Drop an updated demo of the game and then Release it less than a month doesnt seem very plausible but who knows

[red mulch]

yeah if we're not getting a direct today (and we're not esp with the tsunami and shit) then imo gamescom is the last place we could expect a release date at if the game were to release this year

[cerulean sable]

so going back i dont TC wouldve gone with 2023 either but they just had to fuck it we ball it and see if they can

[rotund peak]

Yeah then no one would've assumed it would come out that year, or at least nowhere near as many people

[knotty goblet]

xbox did TC dirty 😔

[pliant cove]

yeah I agree but some games are literally doing that in gamescom, Final Fantasy 16 came out in xbox more than a month ago and still has a demo for gamescom

and metal gear delta will have a demo when it releases just a week later

[red mulch]

tbh it is very plausible in my eyes

[pliant cove]

agree, after that I'd only assume a delay until early 2026

[red mulch]

"we've finished the game so here goes a taste of it as a demo we did in the meantime and be braced for the full thing early september"

[hoary creek]

Well youre right on that but I will try to be realistic rather than hoping in these last 4 months yknow

[dusk pilot]

Skong 2025

No more bullshiting

[knotty goblet]

Skong Holiday 2025

[dusk pilot]

We getting it done pre holidays

[red mulch]

imo the gamescom demo makes perfect sense if it were to be released two weeks after the event

[hoary creek]

That isN, if both isnt the Demo and only playable in these 2 Events and nowehere else yannow?

[opaque sigil]

being realistic doesn't mean what you think it means

[cerulean sable]

i kinda get TCs response but maybe they shouldve just gone with plausible deniability

but in retrospect, i kinda get TCs response. If someone told me hey do you think by next year youre free at work for a vacation somewhere, my response would probs be "yeah maybe? so far my work isnt overbearing atm"

[red mulch]

i am sorry but this is incomprehensible to me

[pliant cove]

I think it's even possible it releases around gamescom time if it's announced today in the Direct or at least this week

[pliant cove]

that's confirmed

[knotty goblet]

Realistically, team cherry's work computers will all stop working the moment they press release on the game!

[red mulch]

again i don't think we're getting a direct after all. the tsunami news kinda cemented it for me

[rotund peak]

Well at that point we're fine, at least until we all get bored of silksong

[rotund peak]

Tsunami?

[cerulean sable]

esp on stuf with no define objective, its easy to say "yeah i mean ill try to finish the game by then" since 12 months is a lot but things can happen within those months

its just that Xbox was the one who rolled with it

[red mulch]

yeah there's an earthquake/tsunami hitting the eastern coast of japan rn. millions of people evacuated

[umbral ether]

i hope silksong is good

[knotty goblet]

the unpredictability of gamedev strikes again

[pliant cove]

yeah when I saw them I thought the same, maybe they just upload it as a video tomorrow without an announcement today

[rotund peak]

As do we all

[pliant cove]

or maybe it's delayed until next week

[opaque sigil]

it would be really funny if it was bad though

[umbral ether]

didn't the earthquake start in russia or is that a seperate earthquake

[rotund peak]

Oh shit

[red mulch]

it did but people in japan are still getting evacuated

[pliant cove]

also other countries in the pacific

[rotund peak]

Bro atp I'd just gaslight myself into thinking it's good 😭

[red mulch]

man if silksong sucked it would've been so funny

[umbral ether]

luckly i live far enough above sea level i should be fine despite being in california

[opaque sigil]

they're like right next to each other

[red mulch]

like i don't even see how it could be a bad game but it would be super funny

[cerulean sable]

hence why im confident with 2025

TC literally stayed quiet by 2024, and if theyre not ready by 2025 they could easily do the same stayed quiet throughiut it

its not like they have a publisher to begin with

[umbral ether]

i did not know that

wait russia is that big?

[knotty goblet]

Hopefully there will be a direct, as they did announce an e-shop maintance for thursday, which is apparently something that happens around direct time

[pliant cove]

when did China invade kyrgyzstan and tajikistan lmao

[cerulean sable]

mercantor projection

[rotund peak]

...definitely living up to the stereotype about Americans and geography...

[opaque sigil]

yes but most of it is basically empty

[pliant cove]

mercator projection does weird thing with country sizes near the poles

[hoary creek]

I had a stroke while typing ts because I am in a hurry to the airport

[umbral ether]

i don't remeber the last time i took a geography class

it seems to have some point switched over to history

[dusk pilot]

Where is earth

[rotund peak]

Maps?

[hoary creek]

But all I am saying is dont get your hopes too much up because it is like 4 months left anyway

[rotund peak]

Uhhhhh moon of Saturn?

[cerulean sable]

i leatned most of my geography from Total War games ngl

[dusk pilot]

Incorrect

[knotty goblet]

Close to the sun

[rotund peak]

God dammit >:(

[dusk pilot]

Correct half point

[rotund peak]

Lmao

[knotty goblet]

Yippee

[umbral ether]

in the goldie locks zone of the sun

[rotund peak]

In space :)

[knotty goblet]

how do I get the other half

[rotund peak]

Goldilocks

[cerulean sable]

(wait, the Papal states is at Rome??? and Rome was... part of Italy???)

when i was a kid

[dusk pilot]

Full points kisses

[cerulean sable]

it took me tine to connect papal rome is called rome cuz, yeah

[dusk pilot]

Idk

[knotty goblet]

😔

[dusk pilot]

Try being fast

[fathom geode]

Wait you didn't know this until recently or you didn't know when you were a kid?

[opaque sigil]

yes rome was part of italy definitely not the other way around

rome was crazy

[fathom geode]

crazy big that's what

fackin 'uge

[dusk pilot]

Crazy stupid also what

[knotty goblet]

Fast like Team Cherry?

[fathom geode]

true

[rotund peak]

The empire yeah but Rome itself is tiny

[dusk pilot]

4 empreors at once

[fathom geode]

yeah I meant the empire

[rotund peak]

Okay okay :)

[dusk pilot]

No the city was massive bigger than mars

[fathom geode]

:)

[rotund peak]

Thanks :D

[viscid wind]

yesterday i woke up playing a silksong

[opaque sigil]

sorry for your loss

[fossil raft]

17125191km²
For comparison, the area of Canada is 9985000 km²

[cerulean sable]

as a kid, in general edu system here is a joke and culture has a more lax stance to until youre in those big ivy highschools

also geography wasny something i gave a shit as a kid, it only came in when i was getting into historical games

[opaque sigil]

ancient history is probably not a priority

[cerulean sable]

at one point my teacher even said Napoleon did his last stand on the Eiffel Tower and the Crusades were the UK vs the Berbers and i was like wtv

then fast forward i got hit in hindsight, wtf was she talking about the Eiffel Tower wasnt even a thing 80 or so years after the Napoleonic wars and the fucking UK didnt exist until the late 18ths

in general its European histoey which isnt a prioritiy here but still

[red mulch]

god i am so grateful for a standardized schooling system

[orchid locust]

when i was a kid i thought that the hazard lights button would make the car self destruct cause my dad said not to touch it

[red mulch]

ngl every day i wake up grateful that i'm not american

[fossil raft]

wdym

[red mulch]

idk just

with all the stuff like healthcare etc i'm happy to be in central europe

[fossil raft]

you mean metric system or education system?

[red mulch]

education system, transit system, pretty much everything

man i remember reading about american railroads, tragic stuff

[umbral ether]

we don't have railroads used for transportaion really

[red mulch]

and you used to which makes me very sad

[orchid locust]

the us does have hella railroads they’re just all used for freight

[red mulch]

like ngl poland loves america and sadly got inspired by that but not to that extent

like even public transit in america inside the cities is such a sad case

[umbral ether]

i don't think i have ever used a bus

[opaque sigil]

uuuh that kinda depends on what part of the US

[red mulch]

yeah this is so weird to me

[orchid locust]

the east coast is the only part of the us with good public transit

[fossil raft]

I deduce that you are from Central Europe and your description is in Cyrillic. Are you a Serbian or Montenegrin, right?

[umbral ether]

i am on the oppsite coast

[red mulch]

like i'm riding a tram every other day if i don't feel like walking

[red mulch]

i'm polish

[fossil raft]

okey

[red mulch]

and the description is in macedonian lol

[umbral ether]

i don't know how to phrase what i mean

[red mulch]

i mean i get it

[umbral ether]

the idea of walking to places sounds odd

[red mulch]

like the us has a very car centric infrastructure

[umbral ether]

yep

[fossil raft]

I thought it was Serbian

[red mulch]

pretty much the same alphabet

but macedonian doesn't have grammatical cases, like bulgarian

[viscid wind]

the idea of driving to places sounds odd

[umbral ether]

especilly in new york or la i think

[fossil raft]

yea ofc

[viscid wind]

i get very car sick

[red mulch]

though the bulgarian cyrillic is more russian which makes sense

[orchid locust]

new york has a lot of trains you can easily live without a car, la is where you absolutely need a car to live

[fossil raft]

But don't Bulgarian have cases too?

[umbral ether]

i forgot new york has subways

[fossil raft]

Modern Russian is the result of Old Russian and Old Church Slavonic (Old Bulgarian)

[orchid locust]

not just subways, there’s lirr and path and njtransit and actually frequent passenger trains to like boston and washington

it’s the one place in the us you can live without a car

[umbral ether]

huh neat did not know that

[fossil raft]

trains?

[umbral ether]

probaly becasue i don't live anywhere near new york

[viscid wind]

i've never been on a train

[fossil raft]

I have been on the train many times

[opaque sigil]

boston's also not bad though it's not as good as new york probably

[fossil raft]

abt 10 times

[umbral ether]

actully i was on a bus a few times to go on feild trips

[orchid locust]

india has good inter-city public transit but traveling within the city is absolutely woeful

i would rather have houston car centric infrastructure

[opaque sigil]

that's so space inefficient though

[viscid wind]

car rides are sad

[umbral ether]

in what way

[viscid wind]

if i look anywhere but outside the window i want to throw up

[umbral ether]

i have only been car sick a few times in my entire life

[dusk pilot]

I have been in car sick multiple times

[fossil raft]

how often you ride a car?

[rotund peak]

Hey same here 🤜🤛

[dusk pilot]

Shame

[orchid locust]

india already went the car-centric route but they like stopped in the middle and didn’t go the whole nine yards with urban freeways and everything so now there’s just a billion people commuting by car around regular main roads

[opaque sigil]

extraordinary fuckup

[fossil raft]

because I often travel by bus but not by car

[viscid wind]

not often

[orchid locust]

and now they’re building metros in every city (which is a good thing) but that means that all of the aforementioned main roads have construction on them 💀 💀

[opaque sigil]

lmao

[dusk pilot]

It is terrible

[fossil raft]

I took the bus every day until I went on vacation for all summer, by car - rarely

[fathom geode]

What the fuck was going through her mind when she said that?

[solemn juniper]

I was told they both suck.

[fathom geode]

Did she play CoD MW3 (the good one) the day before or some shit?

[orchid locust]

drugs probably

uk vs berber crusades is crazy

[solemn juniper]

You Americans get the worst history there is.

The US being a toddler might have to do with that though so I won't judge too hard.

[opaque sigil]

he's not american

[solemn juniper]

Oh, so there isn't an excuse

Your history teachings just suck.

[obsidian owl]

fwiw

it’s not just the us

france is also famously “bad” at teaching history

[dusk pilot]

Japan just straight up refuses to admit shit

[obsidian owl]

yeah

[dusk pilot]

Actually most countries do

[solemn juniper]

I'm a history nerd.

[obsidian owl]

i am a sucker for hating on the us

[cerulean sable]

more like she was making shit up and just pushed out pop history

[dusk pilot]

Are u a sucker or a hater cause u cant be both

[solemn juniper]

What country are you from if I may know?

[cerulean sable]

again EU history isnt taken seriously at lower levels but it is in College levels, we went through a lot of the industrial revolution because were a Spanish colony

Philippines

[obsidian owl]

definitely a sucker. hating on the us is awesome but history in particular is one of the few things where the us is doing exactly what is expected lol

[orchid locust]

japanese history

1. sugoi samurai katana feudalism
2. ████████████
3. modern japan

[dusk pilot]

I like u more now my friend

Even the feudalist history is revised based on some books i read

[solemn juniper]

I don't know how good the overall Philippines education system is, but it can definitely get better teachers.

[cerulean sable]

HAHAHAA

HAHAHAHHAHAA

[obsidian owl]

everywhere can get better teachers

[cerulean sable]

LMFAOOIOK

[dusk pilot]

Everyone can have better teachera

[obsidian owl]

like…?

[cerulean sable]

yeah thay aint happenong soon tbh

were at a brain drain rn

[dusk pilot]

Most SEA are

[solemn juniper]

Japan gets glazed(is that correct?) for no reason.

Like it's beautiful and stuff, but also growing up there especially sucks if you aren't native.

[obsidian owl]

i’ve heard some history teachers here say that “austria technically isn’t at fault for anything, the nazis forced us 🤓” except, you know, all the damning evidence

[obsidian owl]

emphasis on some

[orchid locust]

japan glazers when the kawaii anime salaryman works for 14 hours a day and drinks himself to sleep (so sugoi)

[solemn juniper]

All my teachers weren't bad in a sense of actual education, but they treated me like I was a demon or something.

[obsidian owl]

highschool onwards my teachers were chill aff

[viscid wind]

brain drain is where everyone smart leaves the country right

[orchid locust]

yeah

[solemn juniper]

Well, not in the first few years when I was literally like seven.

[obsidian owl]

educated people, ye

[dusk pilot]

skilled labour is the official economic term

[obsidian owl]

thanks

one of these days i need to go out and look for all the technical terms in english

[dusk pilot]

It is the one u will find on economic surveys

[solemn juniper]

After that they were haters for no reason.

They thought I was this chick who manipulated and hurt people when in reality I was just an anxious and depressed girly.

Teachers are either cool or just suck.

[obsidian owl]

the one i’ll find is not gonna be english

[dusk pilot]

Mb

[obsidian owl]

why apologize

[dusk pilot]

Mb

[viscid wind]

my biology teacher sucked

[solemn juniper]

Japan glazers when they see a asian woman eating sushi and minding her own business.

[orchid locust]

third world countries are kinda in a precarious situation rn cause they need skilled labor to develop but there’s zero incentive for the skilled labor to stay in the country cause everywhere else is just better

[fossil raft]

how old is she or he?

[cerulean sable]

we have tons of incentives, like for our nurses foe example

sure you get paid dirt fucking cheap and have terrible benefits, but you also get called a hero and

ye thats it get fucked

[solemn juniper]

Anyways, Siri Laka, Philippines, and other Asian countries are more beautiful.

[obsidian owl]

you are underestimating how scary it is to leave everything and everyone behind. for mass exodus, you need a bigger motivator than a “better life”

[solemn juniper]

Sri Lanka, sorry.

Maldives is really beautiful.

[viscid wind]

why would i ask a teacher their age

[dusk pilot]

To know their age

[viscid wind]

why would i want to know a teacher's age!

[dusk pilot]

To know it

[solemn juniper]

I don't know why I always forget what the country is actually called.

[obsidian owl]

have you guys never just asked teachers random questions to keep them from doing class

[fossil raft]

Well, maybe teahcer sucks because is strict

and old teahcer are stict

[viscid wind]

the teacher hardly does class anyway so why would i

the teacher sucks because not strict enough

[obsidian owl]

fair

[ashen hearth]

Nintendo Direct announcement should be at 5 AM PT

[dusk pilot]

Why does she does class

[solemn juniper]

There was this one teacher that was super bad at her job, you could ask her a question and she would then start talking about stuff for the rest of class.

She was young, not effective, but she was cute.

[open narwhal]

@obsidian owl gn sleepy

[obsidian owl]

i had a german teacher that told me that i’d never get an A in her class because she didn’t believe that i speak german at home

[orchid locust]

idk about other countries but here at least the culture is materialistic enough that enough people are willing to make the move if it means higher pay

like literally most working adults in my family are in canada or dubai and send money back home

[fossil raft]

Our math teacher in the 7th grade was like that. Because of that, the 9th grade couldn't pass the exam

[hearty magnet]

I cannot wait for silksong man, I am literally going to foam at the mouth when I touch that beautiful title screen

[solemn juniper]

I had a teacher who was beefing with me because I'm "one of those " pretty girls.

[dusk pilot]

Wtf is with that new knight

Badge

[obsidian owl]

i can only really speak for turkey, but i know that the recent wave of “GOTTA GET OUT” only really started after people started starving

[dusk pilot]

Never saw someone with it behave normally

[coral prawn]

it means they are a new knight

[solemn juniper]

You can wait.

[hearty magnet]

Don’t wanna

[dusk pilot]

Read the full shit

[solemn juniper]

Too bad.

[coral prawn]

I did

[dusk pilot]

U did not

[coral prawn]

I did.

[dusk pilot]

Go back

Nu uh

[dusk pilot]

This

[solemn juniper]

I never even wore makeup and still don't so I don't even know how she got that conclusion.

[coral prawn]

yeah because only New Knight have it

[solemn juniper]

I guess I'm just a natural diva 💅

(I don't know what diva means)

[orchid locust]

speaking for india the end goal of most college students i’ve met is just to get a job that places them in the us or canada or something, and since the it industry is so huge there’s no shortage of foreign companies picking up hordes of cheap skilled labor

[obsidian owl]

yeah but that’s a different situation

english is big in infia

india

[dusk pilot]

That is so outdated and wrong

[rotund peak]

Turning into a shut-in as soon as I get ts 🙏

[solemn juniper]

I am a Ikean citizen and native and I don't know what's happening

[orchid locust]

ion know how much it’s changing but in my city there’s tons of uni students getting placed at amazon and bny and stuff every year and leaving

[solemn juniper]

Hi meatballa 🧆

[hearty magnet]

On gawd

[dusk pilot]

Which city

Makes sense south is still pretty do enginerring get job

[quartz needle]

does silksong appearing at the xbox booth mean we arent getting it till at least aug 24

[opaque sigil]

no

[quartz needle]

how come, why would it release if its going to demo there

[opaque sigil]

plenty of other games there are already released

google what a demo is

[fossil raft]

I think yes, I think Silksong will be released in November

[opaque sigil]

you're just wrong then

nothing about the demo precludes the game from releasing before it

[viscid wind]

why did people suddenly jump off the acmi train

[patent heath]

Person who is difficult to please imo imo.

[opaque sigil]

goldfish memory

[red mulch]

to give the unconvinced people a taste of the final game

like it's important to remember that around 99% of the general gaming audience falls outside of the "rabid skonger" stereotype

Diddy was found guilty of 2 counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

(Source: Deadline)

[red mulch]

the demo is a good way of saying "hey dudes we're still out there, still alive and it's coming soon"

[marsh ibex]

Are we fr

[red mulch]

so imo if we get a release date at gamescom then we're good

if we don't - the game isn't coming out this year

[orchid locust]

diddy is integral to silksong and his arrest was the reason it hasn't released yet, its a global conspiracy

[uncut citrus]

Why is it sent by DiscussingFilm

[marsh ibex]

ok

my bet is on it not happening

though the tsunami situation seems to have been blown out of proportion lol

[odd zinc]

Omg Partner Direct

We re cooked

[potent sky]

Still a chance for silksong…

3 second sizzle reel incoming!

[odd zinc]

Pls say at least “month”

[shell yacht]

There's no way they put a fucking direct on the last day of the month

I hate these stupid bastards

[warped umbra]

Nate the hate will be spared

[marsh ibex]

peak

[potent sky]

Although the gamescom announcement the other day doesn’t give me much hope for tomorrow 😭

[odd zinc]

Primacon gonna die

[oblique musk]

[odd zinc]

25 minutes

[shell yacht]

Flay them anyway

[potent sky]

25 minutes of silksong tomorrow!

[odd zinc]

dont give me hope

[shell yacht]

0 min of silksong

[warped umbra]

i have no idea what to expect

and idrc

[shell yacht]

Even if this direct is real it doesn't mean silksong is showing up at all

Maybe they actually have games for the switch two now?

[young saffron]

What's the issue with partner showcase? Is team cherry not a partner

[warped umbra]

its not an issue a partner showcase is 3rd party specific but sometimes nintendo stuff shows up there too

[ashen hearth]

No issue at all lol

[shell yacht]

Besides the $90 Mario kart $80 donkey Kong and the $100 if you need all the accessories tutorial game

[red mulch]

I WAS WRONG FUCK YEAH

[dusk pilot]

Wait a nintendo direct

Omg skong in august

I went ALL IN

[young flint]

25 minutes is not a lot of time. Also im sure they want to touch on eldenring and dusk bloods

[dusk pilot]

YOOO Im gonna win big

[red mulch]

Partner showcase would kinda imply focusing on third party games right?

[shell yacht]

If they do a direct without showing any new Nintendo IPs for the switch two it's going to be hilarious

[cerulean sable]

PARTNRR

[dusk pilot]

I mean switch 2 has no games

[cerulean sable]

THAT MEANS NO NINTENDO RIGHT

[shell yacht]

Not necessarily

[cerulean sable]

NINTNEFO Gme tight

[shell yacht]

They might run out of shit to show and show Pokemon

[dusk pilot]

Team cherry is a friend to us all that means it is nintendos partner

[red mulch]

WE MIGHT GET SKONG NEWS TOMORROW I AM EXCITED

[warped umbra]

yes

[red mulch]

And I'm gonna be at work which means I can watch the direct

[dusk pilot]

Skong tommorow

[dusk pilot]

I mean i wony say no to mega incin

[warped umbra]

steamDB ip blocked me 🥺

[coarse leaf]

holy shoot 1 more day until we get the long awaited.... metroid prime 4

[coarse leaf]

the guy who owns steamdb is a denier

[warped umbra]

damns

[shell yacht]

This just reminds me how badly the Pokemon direct sucked tbh

[warped umbra]

i dont even know why i got ip blocked tbh i wasnt running bots on it or scraping it

[floral nacelle]

Silksong is so tomorrow

[shell yacht]

No coliseum 3 no ranger 3 no generation 10

[red mulch]

this is exciting

i'm hoping for a skong showcase

[floral nacelle]

Ikr!!

[shell yacht]

eBay did the same shit to me and it thinks my account is hacked and now I can't get in

[warped umbra]

rip

[pastel yarrow]

surely its longer than 2 seconds of gameplay

[floral nacelle]

2.1

Still gonna be hype

[warped umbra]

i mean i created a way to check it without logging in because efficiency but it was still being run on MY ip not github actions or anything, it was literally headless browser which should make no difference

[dusk pilot]

2.2 seconds of old footage

[warped umbra]

it also had randomisation added to it

[pastel yarrow]

release date boutta be shown after the game launches

[warped umbra]

so idk why tf they blocked me

[dusk pilot]

Silksong yesterday

[young saffron]

They will shadow drop it

[strange gulch]

btw, I randomly got your remake on my YT music playing

[dusk pilot]

They will drop shadow on shadowdrop believers head

[warped umbra]

YOOOOO based

ty for the listens!

wait wtf its at 43k views i havent checked it recently

thats cool af

[dusk pilot]

That is good music

[fresh pollen]

They will light catch it

[red mulch]

i hope we actually see silksong tomorrow

[strange gulch]

51K now

[warped umbra]

bro listened to it a 8k times in a minute

what a goat

[strange gulch]

no, the screenshot was taken like a week ago

[misty notch]

should i go to that one random exhibition to play ss

[warped umbra]

lmao yes i gathered i was just goofin

[strange gulch]

do I go to Cologne or Melbourne?

[dusk pilot]

Both

[warped umbra]

depends, are you scared of germans or spiders

[pastel yarrow]

go to gd cologne

[fresh pollen]

Everytime someone uses the word "cologne" for that city, 1000 mosquitos get born

[strange gulch]

is it worth it tho?

[warped umbra]

i dont think its worth it to make financial decisions like this at this point

[quartz needle]

silksong releases tmrw after the direct

im so fr

[strange gulch]

-1750USD to fly there

[warped umbra]

if you really wanna play it i would very much suggest you wait

unless you actually want to go to gamescon

if its just for silksong i dont think its a good idea

[quartz needle]

well silksong has a chance of releasing beforee the direct

its just demos after all

theyre demoing grounded 2 and thats already in early access so

[spare fractal]

I feel like making a geometry dash reference right now, but I'm not sure it would fit this context of the word "cologne"

[river ivy]

I wonder if silksong has a chance of having a trailer here idk

[fresh pollen]

Schmaybe

[odd zinc]

Cake give me a fckn sign

[pastel silo]

I guess it's our last direct ever to cope for

[cunning geode]

you wish 👹

[pastel silo]

we ran out of TGA's , now we losing directs

[dusk pilot]

Thats a good thing right

[scenic cliff]

[idle scaffold]

Oh so there is a direct tomorrow

[odd zinc]

Ye

[cunning geode]

what did you think people were discussing

[young flint]

Lmao

[rugged solstice]

Partner showcase? Too bad Silksong is made by Nintendo themselves so it won't be there

[vagrant onyx]

SS is patnered nintendo game?

[idle scaffold]

I think its partner as in 3rd party? Dunno though

[scenic cliff]

Team Cherry is a partner of Nintendo so yeah

[rugged solstice]

Deadass tho does this mean no metroid lol. If it's just partners

[odd zinc]

Obviously

[warped umbra]

partnered just means 3rd party

it means you wont see as much nintendo stuff

but there is sometimes nintendo affiliated stuff too that is made by partners

[cunning geode]

sorry babe you’re just a third party to me

[young flint]

Whats the difference of this and an indie world. Are partner games just more invlolved with nintnedo?

[rugged solstice]

Yes for example team cherry

[warped umbra]

no Team Cherry is owned by Nintendo

[dusk pilot]

Yeah worked with nintendo but not nintendo

[river ivy]

I think there is a decent chance it could show here if not here def gamescom imo

[scenic cliff]

All I want is a release date to count down to tbh

[warped umbra]

all i want for christmas is you

[timid sail]

wtf do they mean by "Partner showcase"?

[warped umbra]

a

[timid sail]

Oh alright

Does this kill all the hopes we had?

[proven hearth]

directttttttttttttttttttttttt

[scenic cliff]

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

[proven hearth]

its basically game devs / partners(xbox and stuff) annouce abt their games and release dates in form of a trailer mostly

[timid sail]

Oh, so all good

Silksong tommorow

[pastel silo]

dont forget acmi suspiciously postponing general ticket sales to tomorrow as well

[lament coyote]

at when...

what are those timezones

[proven hearth]

6am pst

[lament coyote]

why can't they account for europeans 💔

[proven hearth]

u can convert online

[fallen blade]

hey is ss a sequel or prequel to hk?

[proven hearth]

sequel

[timid sail]

I bet primacon is cooking a vid rn

[proven hearth]

riyal

[fallen blade]

i hope it continues off the embrace the void ending with you needing to 1v1 the vessel

first thing

[proven hearth]

fck nintendo,i wsa jst abt to sit for studying

[lament coyote]

well that fucking sucks doesn't it

right when i'm gonna be grabbing my order

[proven hearth]

for me its 6.30PM ist,,,,,so not sucks for me

[warped umbra]

its 11pm for me so its actually quite good

[fresh zodiac]

is Germany part of ET or PT

I forget every time

[lament coyote]

unless the store's "second half of the day" will be before 2pm so i actually have time to grab what i need

[cunning geode]

it’s part of the EU

[proven hearth]

google knows

[fresh zodiac]

yea good idea

[lament coyote]

google's time converters fucking suck

[fresh zodiac]

it's CET

there's no way it's 9 I the morning for me

[proven hearth]

now now now,,,,my speculations

in the best case scenario

they anounce silksong for 14th of august(2 week before release as people say) and we get a demo gameplay in gamescon

this is the best case

lol u really asking chat gpt,,,,,,his data is of 2024

[potent sky]

i mean they appeared in the last direct lmao

[timid sail]

true

[polar stag]

So has faith been restored quite yet?

[timid sail]

maybe yes, maybe no

[proven hearth]

i mean they r 100% sure to appear tomorrow,,,,,,,but if they dont anounce the release date tmmr,then i dont have any hope of it releasing before october

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/twitter-blender-ssoggycat-shark-soggy-cat-gif-16395386061673462261

[timid sail]

not even 100%

imo

[river ivy]

I don't see silksong appearing without a release date it either appears or doesn't

[cunning geode]

it’s a nonzero chance. it’s also not guaranteed

[timid sail]

All or nothing guys

[cunning geode]

nope

[polar stag]

I don't care if it releases pre-October or not tbh. I still think it's too soon to say since we have until September 18th for ACMI, but TC only said it was coming out before Holiday this year so I have no reason to be mad about the Gamescom demo at all

[red mulch]

Around 3pm

[proven hearth]

if they dont come at this point then when

[red mulch]

The direct tomorrow

[cunning geode]

i don’t know

[timid sail]

Tommorow. 25 minutes of hope. If. Not. We. Fucked. Up.

[cunning geode]

later

[river ivy]

gamescom

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/what-is-this-we-breaking-bad-meme-we-gif-25916954

[red mulch]

I'm very hopeful for news tomorrow but keeping it skeptical

They might not appear after all loo

[proven hearth]

gamescon wont tell us release date,its jst a demo........or do they tell release dates there?

[red mulch]

They do

[timid sail]

Expect the best, prepare for the worst as they say

[proven hearth]

hmmmmmmm,2 hopium days

[red mulch]

Since E3 folded gamescom and TGA are the biggest events for that

[red mulch]

Yeah I am expect the worst hope for the best kinda person

[proven hearth]

well,abt the biggest,,,,,,,,i was really hyped abt the summer games fest

that was disappointing

[polar stag]

I think it's possible we get a release date at the Direct and then a longer gameplay showcase and demo at Gamescom

[proven hearth]

exactly ,thats wht i m also thinking

[red mulch]

Idk when I was a kid it was always about the E3 and gamescom so I guess it's gsc and TGA these days

[red mulch]

Yep

Or it releases tomorrow and the demo is just for the undecided

[river ivy]

idk nothing to really cope about for the direct besides acmi tickets going on sale soon after it in Aus but I think thats to much cope

[proven hearth]

silksong yesterday
