That would be funny

[viscid wind]

[high briar]

OKA ITS HAPPENING, EVERYBODY STAY CALM

[viscid wind]

[sinful flare]

huh what is happening

[opaque sigil]

same old same old

[viscid wind]

nintendo partner direct tomorrow

that means that the switch 2 still has 2 games

[red mulch]

see i am not a baiter i can get excited like a regular person

[sinful flare]

well i dont have a partner

[scenic cliff]

PT is pacific time. There’s also a yt link as well in the tweet

[warped umbra]

I think they'll show games that will be available on the Nintendo Switch 1 or 2 at the Nintendo Showcase I think

[viscid wind]

temper your expectations

[warped umbra]

🐒

[viscid wind]

no silksong for you bud!

[sinful flare]

Damn

[viscid wind]

i do not expect silksong to be there!

RAHHHH SILKSOSNG IS SILKSOON

[cunning geode]

oh that’s a sticker

crusty

[opaque sigil]

almost fits the aesthetic

[cunning geode]

team fortress poo

[rugged solstice]

I memba when powdered was doubtful about july direct

[cunning geode]

who is july direct

[oblique musk]

Doubtful is a bit of an understatement. There are no fewer than 3 messages from him that vehemently deny a July direct.

[dusk pilot]

He still denies skong news

[storm raptor]

Why does it say this???

[dusk pilot]

Because skong tommorow

[polar stag]

Tbh I didn't think a July Direct was happening until this morning when I saw the announcement on the subreddit, which was a silkpost that just so happened to be posted at the same time as the actual announcement.

[oblique musk]

The actual reason is because Leth confirmed Silksong will release “before holiday 2025”, and the latest possible interpretation of “holiday” is December 25th, which is Christmas.

So, barring any unforeseen delays, it is as close as you can be to certain that Silksong will be out by then.

[abstract geyser]

because santa will release it

[storm raptor]

Ah thanks for some reason I did NOT get that

[empty jackal]

good morning gay

[storm raptor]

Nah bro the grinch is gonna steal it first

[tidal kite]

Remember: 99% of Silksong awaiters stop watching directs just before the one with the trailer and release date

[red mulch]

yes this is so funny

i'd finished work and saw that post with the frantic edit "wait guys this is real"

[sinful flare]

haiiii

[abstract geyser]

So the audience will drop so hard 😂

[polar stag]

Only thing they got wrong was it was off by 1 or 2 hours I think.

[tidal kite]

ACMI ticket sales moved back, demo in August, release this year. It’s happening

[red mulch]

yeah

it was amazing lol

man this is the first time i can't wait to go to work tomorrow

[abstract geyser]

tomorrow hades 2 and silksong shadow drop

[polar stag]

I'm still keeping my expectations in check. Still a 99% chance Silksong doesn't show there

[pastel silo]

real, at worst we gotta wait 3 weeks for some kind of announcement

[tidal kite]

Silksong tomorrow and Kenshi 2 the day after

[cunning geode]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/405185929133948938/791023987407716392/gmagik.gif

[abstract geyser]

A new demo will show at gamescom and the ACMI event, but TC will keep silent the rest of the year 😂

[pastel silo]

there is an interview with tc planned for the acmi so not possible

[abstract geyser]

And not forget the new 3 sec gameplay at tomorrow direct

[polar stag]

I think there will be another news drought after the game comes out

[kind ermine]

If theres no silksong tomorrow then we're cooked idk what to say because ACMI will spoil half of the game

[cunning geode]

don’t watch it then

[pastel silo]

demo is fine, the acmi shit would be too much

[hard orbit]

I hope they explain why they remained silent.

[abstract geyser]

then don't watch gamescom too.

[cunning geode]

didn’t feel like talking

[opaque sigil]

Making up shit to be mad about is crazy

[abstract geyser]

Chad devs

[hard orbit]

We'll see a lot of spoilers in Acmi. It seems like a mistake to release Silksong after this. I think it will come out right before Acmi, but I'm not sure.

[kind ermine]

Yeah let's just not communicate anything to anyone and let these people spoil half our game which we've been working on for 7 years

[polar stag]

I think they'll put out some kind of statement about the silence some time after launch, but they'll also be working on patches. 3 man dev team on a game this big, they'll need to fix some stuff

[abstract geyser]

silksong tomorrow boys

[opaque sigil]

Yeah right there you just made that up whole cloth

[hard orbit]

[opaque sigil]

Complete fiction

[cunning geode]

“let them??”
“let them???”

[tidal kite]

Silksong tomorrow

[cunning geode]

did acmi steal a copy of silksong

did i not hear about this

[weary tapir]

are we calm

[opaque sigil]

Actually acmi will beam a play through of the game into everyone’s brains globally

[cunning geode]

beam like Jim Beam

[warped umbra]

hey @cunning geode wanna see a cool fill in one of my rock songs

[lament bramble]

Direct tomorrow guys

[polar stag]

If I had my entire first playthrough of the game beamed into my head telepathically instead of actually being able to play, I'd be so mad

[cunning geode]

yes of course

[opaque sigil]

Pig did not take the divorce well I see

[lament bramble]

cope levels dangerously rising

[cunning geode]

on the contrary, that is her husband

[lapis oyster]

Holy crap is there really skong direct tomorrow?

[opaque sigil]

Never mind that marriage will be lasting and fulfilling

[polar stag]

Putting on my tin foil hat so those pesky telepaths can't spoil it

[warped umbra]

volume warning, it is rock/edm

[rugged solstice]

How nice of nintendo to make a Silksong Direct specifically for Silksong

[lament bramble]

major silk impending

[rugged solstice]

Absolute Cornifer

[cunning geode]

oh this is a little hyper rock i love it

[warped umbra]

yeah its super fun

[cunning geode]

have i shown you 65daysofstatic yet

[warped umbra]

i love hyper rock i think its gonna be like my main genre

let me check

[cunning geode]

i made that term up

[pastel silo]

what the ign doing brah

[warped umbra]

i dont think you have

[ocean mulch]

Destroy IGN

[warped umbra]

IGN is actual turds

the edited image theyre using was made by E1331

thats crazy

[lapis oyster]

They are out-xboxing xbox

[cunning geode]

open in browser

[warped umbra]

yeah i did lmao

thats in browser

[cunning geode]

that’s weird

well it’s on spotify if you have that

[lament bramble]

It has the same vibe as the limbo soundtrack from gd

[rugged solstice]

do we think silksong will be game of the year

[lapis oyster]

It's not even a silkpost, holy shit

[cunning geode]

game of the week metroidslop

[warped umbra]

i have no idea what the limbo soundtrack from GD is

[cunning geode]

GD as in geometry dash

[slim dirge]

IGN is baiting so hard rn

[warped umbra]

yeah ill add it onto my to-listen

[pastel silo]

if you open the link, they are just speculating

[opaque sigil]

No

[rugged solstice]

Better than expedition 33 turn-based slop

[warped umbra]

i got uni tomorrow so i actually am procastinating sleep

ill listen to it on the drive there and let you klnow what i think

[polar stag]

There's no bait I trust less than IGN bait

[cunning geode]

okey dokey

[lapis oyster]

I'm pretty sure they know very well what they're doing by slapping hornet on their post

[lament bramble]

Here it is bro

[rugged solstice]

The only thing dumber than that ign post are the replies to it

[cunning geode]

i really hope “friendslop” doesn’t catch on as a term people apply seriously. it may be too late though

[pastel silo]

of course, they just dont have any more info than us

[opaque sigil]

Getting gullible people to click on them

[lament bramble]

Enjoy the sensory overload

[cunning geode]

oh now you’ve done it…

[rugged solstice]

"Friendslop" was coined by lonely mfs
"repo isn't fun without friends!" yeah thats like the whole gimmick. Pokemon isnt fun without battles

[warped umbra]

i had a quick listen cuz i have to sleep but i can kinda hear it, though i'd say this is more EDM oriented

[dusk pilot]

People who unironically use friendslop have no friends

[cedar trench]

i do get the people's gripe behind "friendslop"

because of the influx of low quality games that you're supposed to play with friends

[lament bramble]

Even people with no friends don't use this term. Source: me.

[dusk pilot]

Its not friend slop we need 3 place and if some games are that its fine

[cunning geode]

https://hah-music.bandcamp.com/track/venera

[cedar trench]

but it's also a very silly thing to coplain about

[cunning geode]

i’m mostly just worried people are losing sight of what a coop or party game is

[dusk pilot]

No people are giving us some good co op games

[lapis oyster]

Today i finally got my car out of the repair garage, it's a sign we are getting skong tomorrow

[cedar trench]

is mario party friendslop or friendgem

discuss

[rugged solstice]

If a game is designed around a core concept and that concept is executed well then i dont see why we'd consider the game bad quality. Where games with friends might fall short in aspects you might see in other games, they excel in the multiplayer interactions and experience

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[dusk pilot]

No game is perfect and games should not be trolled for being goofy we all need a laugh

Hi andy

[cunning geode]

there have always been kinda crappy party games

cough cough mario party

[rugged solstice]

anyways, play split fiction

[dusk pilot]

I have played so many of them so fun tho

[fresh zodiac]

GOOD OL AND

Andy do u think we get a date tmmrw

Thanks for ruining my hearing

[vagrant onyx]

can we expect ss tomorrow in nintendo direct?

[cunning geode]

i forgor bandcamp is loud as fuck on browser unless you have a firefox addon to change the volume

[dusk pilot]

I am ALL IN skong tmmrw

[vagrant onyx]

what if there is nothing about ss tomorrow

[dusk pilot]

Then we wait also i lose big

[opaque sigil]

selaco mentioned

[lament bramble]

I really need to play selaco but I have a really big backlog

[cunning geode]

i need to play anything besides doom

but alas

[red zealot]

I really have no idea if we’re getting skong before or after acmi atp

[tidal kite]

Date tomorrow

I believ

e

[rugged solstice]

10 dig bucks on silksong tomorrow

[lament bramble]

Play dusk since it's a pretty good boomer shooter

[lament bramble]

I bestow upon thee this piece of pretty good rock music

[cunning geode]

i have 100% completed Dusk

[opaque sigil]

is dusk really a boomer shooter in any way except visually

[cunning geode]

yes

[red zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/pera-algorand-algo-hopium-copium-gif-16765445473855345349

[cunning geode]

it plays very much like quake

[red mulch]

Based good band

[rugged solstice]

[red mulch]

You like swans

[lament bramble]

Me love moni

What about forgive me father

[cunning geode]

i know about metal hellsinger but the music never quite clicked with me even though it’s good

a little too power metal for me? i think?

but yeah it is good

[lament bramble]

It's really good once you get into the zone

But for some reason this track is the only one I truly admired

[red mulch]

my musical confession is that i can't get into metal music outside of like

black sabbath

[lament bramble]

The other ones are kinda decent but don't really match up to this

[red mulch]

idk it's all so rigid rhythmically to me that i kinda lose interest

wait wha

[cunning geode]

https://youtu.be/0FU0HmkWlHA?si=vgQceCwxQwpz0GhM

[cunning geode]

ever listened to Candlemass

[lean pendant]

I think we can all agree that respawning in Hollow Knight is canon, yeah?

[red mulch]

yeah

iirc i didn't enjoy the vocals

i like sleep

[cunning geode]

damn

i love sleep

[lament bramble]

It's as canon as the void hornet

[red mulch]

it's cool

[shell yacht]

Not even remotely

[red mulch]

like worse black sabbath

[cunning geode]

i mean

they are their own thing

[red mulch]

they do have the groove of early sabbath tho

like the first four albums or so

[shell yacht]

That's not in the game

[cunning geode]

yeah most metal i like follows the footsteps of sabbath as well

https://negativewall.bandcamp.com/track/hybrid-genus-serpentis

[red mulch]

yeah but that does not apply to the groove

like the jazzy/bluesy rhythm of sabbath is what sets it apart

[young saffron]

alright put half my savings on silksong appearing tmr

[red mulch]

esp when you consider that ward's biggest inspiration comes from jazz music as well

[lament bramble]

Half of 0 is 0

[red mulch]

he's got that loose feeling, accentuated by him being a bit behind the beat too

while most metal is very precise, sabbath and most of that stoner thing isn't

[livid oracle]

SS release date tomorrow gang?

[shell yacht]

No

[cunning geode]

yes stoner metal is my comfort zone

[red mulch]

mayb

[red mulch]

it's nice

i like kyuss a lot

[livid oracle]

Do you think we’ll at least get a few frames of new footage in a compilation video? Maybe we’ll learn more about tools

[shell yacht]

No

[red mulch]

tbh ign just dropped a direct announcement with a skong poster

so i am thinking that at least something is there

[livid oracle]

Where

[shell yacht]

The thing that IGN did was clickbait

[cunning geode]

oh boy

[red mulch]

or maybe not...

[shell yacht]

Did it get your attention, did it have any proof?

[red mulch]

idk i am feeling weirdly positive about it

[tidal kite]

Just bait

[shell yacht]

Congratulations that's clickbait

[cunning geode]

https://tortugapl.bandcamp.com/track/black-pharaoh-ii

[red mulch]

i'll check it in a bit

[tidal kite]

The strategy:
use silksong as clickbait

• if it’s there: yay
• if it isn’t: people will forget anyways

[cunning geode]

no rush

[cyan forum]

the entirety of ign is actually just seven orangutangs in an office with kindergarten toys and a couple laptops

[somber hare]

Ok, we can kill IGN

[livid oracle]

Can’t post links?

[lament bramble]

Wouldn't Nintendo sue them for false advertising

[shell yacht]

We don't entertain clickbait

[red mulch]

i'm listening to a jazz album that's supirisingly enjoyable considering who did it

[dapper topaz]

That's a perfect NPC mindset isn't it 😂

[chilly crane]

Who

[livid oracle]

proof that scientology hasn't eaten all of his brain

[somber hare]

No, we're gathering the crew and going to kill IGN for clickbait. You want in?

[cunning geode]

oh god i haven’t heard that name in forever

[cyan forum]

they're not malicious or anything they just have zero clue what they're doing

[dapper topaz]

Remember when the chat had a whole ass debate about what Leth meant by Holiday

[cunning geode]

my favorite pianist is my brother

[lament bramble]

But the crew is dead though

That’s cuz I’m a jazz musician yeehaw

I hope silksong's controls will be intuitive & not that different from hollow knight's

[red mulch]

i once started a jazz fusion band i got kicked out of

[lament bramble]

I am a minimalist.
That's why I only listen to songs with less than 5 notes

i dont think it'll be that much harder

[rugged solstice]

ts shit gonna be 5x longer

Please mark spoilers

[rugged solstice]

I mean yeah what she said

[frosty light]

wtf shes silksong and songing

[lament bramble]

I will not elaborate

[sullen canyon]

was silksong on the eshop if you looked for it on a switch before? some guy on reddit saying it's now on the jp eshop and wasn't previously

[rugged solstice]

some guy

[leaden delta]

I might kill you

[sullen canyon]

[timid sail]

but it wouldnt make sense if you would have to unlock her different movements as she has alr mastered them in hallownest

[sullen canyon]

i don't own a switch so i don't know if it's always been there, obviously it's always been on the steam store

[floral delta]

Smh my head mh head

[cunning geode]

sometimes i look at my music player and wonder how i've listened to a specific song so many times

[lament bramble]

They're gonna reset her like every protagonist in fiction

[frosty light]

she tripped really bad tho

[cunning geode]

49 times...???

lets make that 50 👹

[timid sail]

bro wha

[timid sail]

ah yes she will forget everything

[tired oyster]

i imagine it'll be that she has a number of her base moves from the start and then unlocks more stuff over the course of the narrative, but also sometimes for the sake of gameplay devs just have to put in things that don't exactly make sense in a story context

[timid sail]

classic

[dusk pilot]

She lost most of her strength by being trapped for so long

[tired oyster]

like how in assassin's creed 1, altaïr who's supposed to be this super talented assassin forgets how to counter attacks until he kills two guys

[rugged solstice]

or its a prequel

[dusk pilot]

Yes prequelsong is the best theory but we already have a answer

[chilly crane]

Silksong is not a prequel
….

[still prawn]

I pray that theres any news at all tomorrow in the direct

[dusk pilot]

But i want it to be

[lament bramble]

The blood freshens the mind

[frosty light]

"sealed siblings is the only canon ending" supremacy will forever prevail

[dusk pilot]

This is was said in a official edge zine

[dusk pilot]

Trapped in the cage we see on the trailer

[timid sail]

yeah probably, but she would alr have a lot from the start

[lament bramble]

Skong is actually set in an alternate universe

[frosty light]

im pretty sure at the start she only has ledge grabbing as her sole ability

[still prawn]

I hope it actually takes place with one of the godhome endings so we could have a chance to the thk living a good life somewhere

Just as a cameo

[frosty light]

because the haunting fucked her up or some shit

her songs already been silkin since she entered the kingdom i think

also she fell ouchie ow my ancient mask broke :(

[timid sail]

Is there a name for a territory where silksong takes place lile hallownest for hk?

[chilly crane]

I’ve filken silken de songen

[dusk pilot]

[signal tinsel]

Would make sense to show the game in the Nintendo Direct since they’ve got a demo out a few weeks later anyway. So it won’t happen.

[short sierra]

Does anyone know if the full scores are available for any of the hollowknight tracks?

[timid sail]

let our bro chris cook 🔥

[lament bramble]

partner showcase...

[lament coyote]

now actually why do people think it's gonna be there

[pallid plinth]

better be silksong news or ill just be stuck here with no first party news

[ashen cobalt]

if its a million% chance does that mean we get 10,000 silksongs

[pallid plinth]

🥱

[lament coyote]

we will get approximately 10 million silksongs

or at least 5 million

in a single day that is

steam is going to fucking die...

[ashen cobalt]

nah itll be fine

[lament coyote]

no it won't

[ashen cobalt]

steam will die for at most 10 minutes

[lament coyote]

when deltarune came out steam died for at least 20

[ashen cobalt]

damn thats crazy

it was working after 4 minutes for me 🙏

[lament coyote]

and now imagine that but with at least 5 times more people willing to buy the game

[tribal hamlet]

check steam

[lament coyote]

i'm lazy

[lament bramble]

Lucky bastard

[inland lion]

Guys I’m busy at 6PT tomorrow, can you ask Miyamoto to hold off for an hour pls

[reef scarab]

Nintendo putting their direct like two hours before I wake up 😭

[versed pollen]

Try waking up earlier than

[lament bramble]

I asked him and he told me that the direct was supposed to be at 5pt but a fan asked him to delay it.
He said he was already late on the schedule. Sorry dude.

[ashen cobalt]

the cherry from team cherry is my uncle and it said silksong is never coming out

[broken stratus]

one last cope....

[chilly crane]

Because team cherry have a partnership with Nintendo

[reef scarab]

my meds facilitate my sleep schedule not me

Ask you meds to wake you up earlier

Alternatively don't take your meds

[lament mango]

But i need my heart medication

[cerulean sable]

primaslop 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤮 🤮 🤮

[reef scarab]

how can I silk when I can’t focus and am in pain…

[lament coyote]

if we do assume the new demo is just a glowup of the old one without any new features then i don't think the game itself will come out before this new demo

and i don't think there will be anything about silksong at this point

[lament mango]

Everyone asks where is silksong.... but noone asks how is silksong

[inland lion]

Where did Primacom come from btw? I’d never heard of him before 6 months ago but he seems to be one of the biggest HK-related YouTubers now

[lament coyote]

this is what content farming does to you

[versed pollen]

Idk he just started making shit

[lament coyote]

bro just used the opportunity

[versed pollen]

He's opps with this channel

[lament mango]

Who? And why does he sound like a discount Chinese transformer knock off

[cerulean sable]

hes just another r silksong clickbait leech

[lament coyote]

what does that even mean

[lament mango]

Primacons versus Omegatrons

[cerulean sable]

id rather die standing for DSSN than live kneeling for primaslop

[lament mango]

Transmorphers, AIs hidden in plain site

[opaque sigil]

can't we just nuke both

[lament mango]

With the leader, Omega Primarius

[cerulean sable]

(ara is chill so i cant say that)

[full rune]

I'd rather die standing for creamy Mac n cheese than live kneeling for collared greens

[opaque sigil]

primacon is also chill the videos just suck

[cerulean sable]

(also totally biased given ive been talking to them 2 years pre dssn)

[versed pollen]

Wait true

[lament mango]

Damn wait you really silksongs strongest solider?

[lament coyote]

no like seriously. what even would be announced that isn't already known by now, the release date? probably well over a month before the game coming out?

[heady iron]

my favorite silkslop yter is

[cerulean sable]

nah man i see youtube tier clickbair content youre not escaping D tier

[atomic sparrow]

hey guys

[cerulean sable]

its just how it is

[lament bramble]

Hey andy

[versed pollen]

I think that's what most people are vying for

[cerulean sable]

also extra negative points cuz he caters to children living in r silksong

[patent aspen]

There has been no news to report for silksong for today 🔥 ✍️

[lament coyote]

just because people are stupid doesn't mean they're children

[opaque sigil]

can't fault somebody for identifying an exploitable resource

[lament bramble]

If there is nothing tomorrow I pray for the acmi employees

[grim forge]

it's tomorrow 😍

[lament coyote]

people under the age of 16 should just be banned from the internet entirely. or kill reddit. either works.

[pallid plinth]

Acmi the looney tunes company

[lament mango]

Stop saying silksong tomorrow, your pushing it away every day

[ashen cobalt]

youd love the australian government

[lament mango]

Well never get it at this rate!

[mortal bluff]

There will be nothing. I’m betting on Xbox to give a date,

[patent aspen]

Repost to delay silksong

[lament mango]

Repost to turn silk heretic into a marketable plushie

[cerulean sable]

does it matter huge venn diagram overlap

[lament coyote]

privacy deprivation isn't the same as banning degenerates from social media

[patent aspen]

You're a bit late on this one

[opaque sigil]

the latter entails the former

[lament mango]

Am I? Or did it mearly happned retroactively?

[patent aspen]

Interesting proposition

[cerulean sable]

pre Silksong was a different space, very simple

people werent trying to out eceleb each other and even Leth and co was comfortable popping in just to say hi and talk without it being about the game

[patent knot]

Guys who’s ready to not get Silksong in it now that we finally have a direct?

[rough quiver]

Wait confirmed direct?

[dapper dove]

what are the silksong clickbait slop channels going to do when the game actually comes out

[patent aspen]

I stand firm in my belief that team cherry will just "check steam" us randomly sometime in the next 5 months

[patent knot]

Yup

[warped prairie]

news RIGHT at the end of july maybe!?

[patent aspen]

Silksong let's plays

[lament coyote]

no, just banning people who clearly don't have their defense mechanisms at check and common sense at presence is not the same as forcing you to effectively doxx yourself to some random assholes overseas because they try to hide it under the "it's for children" veil

[warped prairie]

nintendo baited us for a whole month

[cerulean sable]

watch what happened to Relyhea

[patent aspen]

There will still be more slop to slop

[warped prairie]

and they'll bait uds further when silksong is not announced

[rough quiver]

“I FoUNd a SeCRet BOss In SIlksoNg”

[opaque sigil]

you... do understand the issue is with identity verification being invasive right...

[patent knot]

Partner direct 6am PT

[patent aspen]

Im going full dark on all platforms until I can buy and 100% silksong

[cerulean sable]

they will swap to the next fame to slop around to

I can’t wait for my 4 seconds of Silksong in the middle of a montage

[patent aspen]

Optimistic

[warped prairie]

as if

im ready for 0 (zero!) news

[lament mango]

Silksong is gonna be shadow dropped on August 29th at 3:59 pm, and if im wrong may I be struck by
Lightning strikes in the distance
A flying ice cream truck!

[patent knot]

“Coming soon”

[lament coyote]

yes, that's literally what i meant, governments enforcing identity verification is not "protecting", it's gaining more control over.

[rough quiver]

Can’t wait for 30 minutes of eshop shovelware with 0.001 seconds of silksong

[opaque sigil]

you
you understand that in order to ban people under a certain age you would need age verification right

[ashen cobalt]

thats what i tell someone when i dont want to go to their house

[warped prairie]

I wonder if after silksong releases they'll say wy they never announced anything

or said anything

[opaque sigil]

in order to make a goal happen you have to do stuff to cause it it won't just manifest magically

[patent aspen]

Tbh if they announce some actually good switch 2 exclusives that'll be cool

[opaque sigil]

a necessary step in banning children from the internet is being able to tell who is a child

[patent knot]

All I’m saying is the marketing would be sick af if they revealed an august 20th release date tomorrow so that way they could give a trailer saying “out now” at gamescon for the more casual audience

[opaque sigil]

this means identity verification

[ashen cobalt]

its just 3rd party games so i doubt anything will be exclusives

[warped prairie]

silksong never

[patent aspen]

Oh I missed that,

That does open up a lot more options tho

[warped prairie]

slilkslong

slililkslolonlg

[red mulch]

i'm still on the fence when it comes to the platform i want to play skong on

[lament coyote]

issue is, this way of identity verification is dangerous to the very people this law is trying to protect

but i guess there is no other way to check

[mortal bluff]

Xbox has given the most news to us. It will continue to be Xbox

[dapper topaz]

More like... everyone is always in shambles

[red mulch]

it can be nintendo for a change

[lament coyote]

okay no after reading back i kinda messed up with my wording

[red mulch]

like TC can afford to have their fingers in a few cakes at once

[rough quiver]

Xbox lied tho and I refuse to forget the “within 6 months”

[fresh zodiac]

honestly I need more info about rhythm heaven groove

[opaque sigil]

xbox didn't lie

[lament coyote]

the "ban morons from social media" wasn't supposed to be tied to the "this law sucks ass and is a bad idea" part

that's my bad

[rough quiver]

Within 6 months

[opaque sigil]

google what a lie is

[mortal bluff]

With how heavily Xbox tied Silksong into the ROG handheld thing, I would think Xbox wants to do it. I understand they release separately though

[heady iron]

grok what is the definition of lie

[slate wagon]

i’m only getting images of cake please help me

[lament coyote]

when did xbox say anything about 6 months

[dapper topaz]

the humble silksong is tomorrow when the silksong is tomorrow

[dapper topaz]

Nah even one step below

[dapper topaz]

👀

[ashen cobalt]

venom truly is just hornet without her cloak and shell

[cunning geode]

saw a guy at the gizz concert that looked like AVGN and Ari Gibson combined

[pine reef]

Silksong

[lament coyote]

of fucking course they want to do it, every gaming company would want to do it, it's one of the most popular games ever

[rough quiver]

Wtf is this

[dapper topaz]

wtf 😭

[cunning geode]

he was having a good time

[frosty light]

this is what the average silksonger looks like btw

[dapper topaz]

Hornet radiant form

[lament coyote]

it's an easy way to draw attention

[opaque sigil]

oh no not even close

[cunning geode]

maybe it was Ari, the band is australian after all

[versed pollen]

I cannot imagine this but if you sent an image I'm sure I would get it

[dusk pilot]

Thats why skong got delayed

[cunning geode]

i do not take pictures of strangers

[lament coyote]

steam wishlist says otherwise :ultimatesmug:

[opaque sigil]

that... does not measure that lmao

[dapper topaz]

LMAO fr
I was like... huh why would they take a pic of that lol

[cunning geode]

its very popular for upcoming indie releases. beyond that, it is not the most popular game

[opaque sigil]

there are games with an order of magnitude on hk

hk isn't even on the list of best selling games

[versed pollen]

I preceded it with "if" for a reason

[dapper topaz]

Hmmm fair

[lament coyote]

i don't even know how to open that list

[rough quiver]

Is Minecraft still the best selling game of all time?

[ashen cobalt]

wikipedia

[lament coyote]

i know that terraria is in the top 10 and that's it

[opaque sigil]

if you don't count tetris

[rough quiver]

Oh Tetris yeah

[lament coyote]

wikipedia opens wikipedia, not steam 😔

[cunning geode]

hollow knight is on the wikipedia page for "List of video games considered the best" alongside its best friend

[pine reef]

Doesn’t Tetris have like 50 different versions

[lament bramble]

Will I need to play silksong with my monitor upside down or what

[lament coyote]

fortnite

[atomic sparrow]

mario ?

[pine reef]

Fortnite

[lament coyote]

😭

[opaque sigil]

there are reasons why you might not count tetris

[ashen cobalt]

fortnite and hollow knight are famously equal experiences

[frosty light]

hornet for fortnet

[versed pollen]

FORTNITE!!!!

[rough quiver]

Cuz Australian?

[ashen cobalt]

thats why they both end in nite

[lament bramble]

Ya

[versed pollen]

Yea like because it's Russian. Who famously never make video games

[rough quiver]

No cuz their monitors are upside down too

[opaque sigil]

this doesn't really mean anything though

[ashen cobalt]

yes, i always have to turn my latptop upside down when i play a non australian game

[cunning geode]

i just felt like sharing funny fortknight picture

[opaque sigil]

fair enough

[lament bramble]

I think there's a display setting for that

[ashen cobalt]

no i ate it

[heady iron]

tammo just doesn't wanna acknowledge that hollow knight is more recognized than his favorite game from 2017, bendy and the ink machine

[lament bramble]

Damn

[inland lion]

It’s going to be the ‘one last thing’ isn’t it

They’re going to make us wait the whole time

[frosty light]

theyre in the same universe so its ok

what did you think the black goop was

[dapper topaz]

Any witchbrook fans here????

[lament coyote]

would they give a release date further than 3 weeks away though

[ashen cobalt]

no the one last thing better be spore 2

[inland lion]

Stop it my body can’t take it

[fresh zodiac]

it's a partner direct, is there a possibility of silksong even showing up

[river ivy]

If it’s there probably

[cerulean sable]

i dont count tetris for the main reason it doesnt tackle themes like being personified and your blocks having to face them

[red mulch]

even bigger than a usual direct

[glad python]

which has an official silksong release date

[oblique musk]

How do we know it’s further than 3 weeks away. We don’t know the release date. That’s the whole reason we’re excited.

[fresh zodiac]

how so

[rough quiver]

Oh I remember spore w game

[red mulch]

focus on 3rd party games

[fresh zodiac]

aaah

I do love that they put out a direct on the LAST DAY OF JULY

[inland lion]

Real OGs remember the 2005 tech demo and what could’ve been

[fresh zodiac]

kept us waiting huh

[magic narwhal]

I see chat is setting unreasonable expectations for themselves again

[glad python]

Which has an official silksong release date

[potent sky]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-snake-big-boss-gif-12248663

[ashen cobalt]

remember at least half of the direct will be farming sims

[lament coyote]

because apparently a lot of people say team cherry don't announce any release dates that are more than 21 days away from the moment of the date's drop

[oblique musk]

They’re only unreasonable until they come true

[inland lion]

Well currently the sample size is 1 so

[dapper topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/stardew-valley-shock-shocked-surprise-surprised-gif-4133448793341709706

[frosty light]

um yeah it does its all in the subtext my man

[river ivy]

Nah most of it well prob be PS4 ports

[oblique musk]

Yeah, a lot of people say that. But why does that discourage the possibility of it showing up in the partner showcase?

[frosty light]

read between the pixels

[rough quiver]

I hope there is haunted chocolatier news

[lament coyote]

there has to be a reason why every fucking time there's a direct or something similar is around the corner i see people going "they don't announce this much in advance"

[inland lion]

I don’t see any reason why the game couldn’t release in 2-3 weeks’ time, none at all

[sacred lance]

calling it that we will get a silksong release date tomorrow, releasing before halloween

[ashen cobalt]

i think its very possible silksong will release in the next 10 seconds

[red mulch]

we have the track record of exactly one game

[potent sky]

How about the post game updates for hollow knight?

[rough quiver]

And several dlcs tbf but I see ur point

[dapper topaz]

FR
Haunted choc and witchbrook
Along with some silksong too I guess because I've had enough now 🙏
All this time I've been an observer but content fan
But nah. We need it guys
#thesubredditwasreal

[lament coyote]

so the community just decided to base the metric on a single game and tie it to silksong too as an objective fact

okay that one's on me then

[rough quiver]

What’s witchbrook?

[potent sky]

Harry Potter farming sim

[magic narwhal]

I want more info on tactics ngl

[rough quiver]

Is it concerned ape?

[dapper topaz]

Long story ahort, check steam
||https://steamcommunity.com/app/1846700||

[red mulch]

a different thing - dlcs are less of a deal than a game lol

[dapper topaz]

There's no farming afaik

[potent sky]

I think he’s making haunted chocolate but not witchbrook

[lament coyote]

if it actually comes out in the next 2-3 weeks, that whole thing in cologne will just take a huge L

[dapper topaz]

Yeah witchbrook is by chucklefish

[magic narwhal]

Bro was not here pre Godmaster

[potent sky]

Is there not? I swear I saw some in the trailer unless I was tweakin

[fresh zodiac]

chucklefish mentioned

[potent sky]

I mean if silksong is to be out before November then there’s only 3-4 months left so not too bad!

[dapper topaz]

Nah, I've been following it for quite a while
It's more like, a cozy sim, not a farming sim
Farming even if present isn't the core of the game

[frosty light]

wanst godmaster date like 2 months before. i think it got delayed so not sure how that turned out

[magic narwhal]

Here’s a better reason: why tf would there be a new demo at Gamescom then

[lilac moss]

It’s a tech demo

[dapper topaz]

Yeah same that's also what I'm thinking

[lilac moss]

Means nothing about a release date

[magic narwhal]

For a released game? That’s stupid lol

[oblique musk]

Demos exist for released games.

[potent sky]

That’s pretty cool then! Might check it out near its release, same with haunted chocolatier

[lilac moss]

Do look at the list

You have no clue what a tech demo is obviously

[river ivy]

is it confirmed if acmi tickets go live before or after the direct I want some more cope

[magic narwhal]

If it happens usually it’s the first demo

[dapper topaz]

I don't either, what is it?

[upbeat aurora]

Skong tomorrow right

[magic narwhal]

Not an update to an existing one

[potent sky]

I mean it could be the first 30 mins of the full game but they just stop you from progressing after a while?

[lilac moss]

A tech demo is for showing the capabilities of the “tech”

[potent sky]

Or even 30 minutes of a section of the game?

[red mulch]

to showcase the game running on the rog

[lilac moss]

It’ll be the game with a time limit

[magic narwhal]

How would you lock that in a metroidvania tho

[lilac moss]

I guarantee

[red mulch]

closed doors

wait, you havent played a metroidvania demo?

[dapper topaz]

Mhmmm

[potent sky]

Either making it so you don’t unlock an ability after a boss or just cutting off certain sections

[rough quiver]

Just like they did for the mossy grotto e3 demo

[lilac moss]

He’s not very educated 😅

[magic narwhal]

I have but I fail to see the reason for what you’re describing post release

[red mulch]

like idk metroid dread had a demo that was just the beginning section of the game

[magic narwhal]

And tech demo is a laughable excuse sorry

[lilac moss]

It’s what it is LOL

[magic narwhal]

SS is not exactly pushing hardware

[lilac moss]

It’s no excuse

[ashen cobalt]

its a tech demo for the new handheld console thingy

[cunning geode]

society piles up and crumbles if you do not fit in. conformity is the only path to success. flashing colors and funny music make it all feel more exciting.

[potent sky]

It’s definitely part of the full game but they are calling it a demo, no way they had enough time to make a full demo with the pace they are going at 😭😭

[red mulch]

and iirc metroid dread demo came out the same day the game did or like a week before

[frosty light]

ok so this was a little over a month https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXG4-UalrOE

[lilac moss]

Doesn’t have to pal

[oblique musk]

The reason is money. Demos are free, full games aren’t. The demo for a released game is meant to allow people to experience the game without having to spend money, so that they can tell whether or not they would spend money on that game.

[magic narwhal]

It’s gonna be like a $20 game tbh

[potent sky]

A lot of Nintendo games drop demos when the full release happens!

[oblique musk]

And 20 dollars can be a steep price for some people.

[lilac moss]

Yup

And before and after launch

[red mulch]

yeah

[ashen cobalt]

a lot of released games on steam also have demos like 😭

its very common for released games to have demos

[lilac moss]

Yeah

[red mulch]

imo like the demo is a bit of a nothingburger in the grand scheme of things

[potent sky]

So I could see it release in either august or September

[rough quiver]

I could see it releasing tmrw

[red mulch]

as in: it's just a short demonstration of the game, in a way that say it showcases the xbox rog ally or whatever it's called and how this type of game plays on the system

[lilac moss]

I still expect a date tomorrow and release around August 14th

[brittle garnet]

if it's a new demo that kinda must mean imminent release, at least i don't imagine any other reason to make a new demo than to have one on release

[oblique musk]

Probably. If we get a release date at the direct, it’d probably be early August.

[zinc sky]

today

[potent sky]

A shadow drop is least likely but never say never!

[red mulch]

my release window would be late august/early september if i were to guess

[opaque sigil]

I mean yeah 2025 isn't that much longer anyways

[lilac moss]

If it wasn’t for the backers I’d say it’s possible

[magic narwhal]

It’s because of a TC statement

[frosty light]

half of dev time was dedicated to making the demo actually

[red mulch]

after the gamescom but before the acim

[magic narwhal]

That the old one no longer reflects the current game

[potent sky]

I could see them giving us a trailer tomorrow and saying to tune in to gamescom 😭

[frosty light]

its not actually demonstrating anything in the real game its all fake

[red mulch]

i can see the release date being dropped tomorrow

[oblique musk]

Wait why do the backers make a shadowdrop impossible

[lilac moss]

Because it’ll have a time limit on the full game so they won’t have to make a new one or use the old one

[red mulch]

skong was a psyop

it never existed

[night dagger]

Im sure

[rough quiver]

As soon as we get confirmed release date I’m going to get off every platform so I don’t get spoiled

[potent sky]

They need to ask them for their platform prior to release to give them their free game code!

[magic narwhal]

TC statement debunks releasing the old demo again

[red mulch]

i'm not fully convinced skong is going to be there

[opaque sigil]

they don't really just make a survey and send it out

[lilac moss]

Because they’re promised a key day one and there’s 2,000+ and they won’t reach out till a date is announced so it’s kept secret

[red mulch]

i mean

[opaque sigil]

we have access to the internet

[red mulch]

i'm keeping my hopes in check is all

[lilac moss]

People won’t keep it secret before a date is announced

[opaque sigil]

tc doesn't have to go door to door manually or whatever

[river ivy]

I still think we can def see silksong released before gamescom tbh

[potent sky]

That could take a week or two for all the backers to get back to team cherry

[red mulch]

i can see the release date being dropped tomorrow + the survey happening

[opaque sigil]

doesn't actually matter

[lilac moss]

Because it’ll be the full game with a time limit :)

[dapper topaz]

LMAO
Just imagine tc sponsoring via door to door

[red mulch]

release date late august, ~a month from now

[cerulean sable]

it doesnt have to be a shadowdrop tbh

1

[oblique musk]

2

[red mulch]

3

[magic narwhal]

Also unlikely

[dapper topaz]

4

[cerulean sable]

a 1.monyh rrlease date is giof enough

[opaque sigil]

if backers just don't claim their keys right away that's fine

[trim estuary]

So about that Nintendo direct…

[night dagger]

[cerulean sable]

i fucking hste mobile so much

[trim estuary]

[lilac moss]

Dude I refuse to believe you know this little

[magic narwhal]

If there was a full build ready we wouldn’t be waffling on date still

[potent sky]

Damn

[cerulean sable]

i will explode person 9

[dapper topaz]

LMAO we deleted same time

[potent sky]

9999999

[red mulch]

why so lol

You never heard of one of these events before

[supple widget]

I expect early September

[trim estuary]

You guys suck at this

[potent sky]

Ayo

[red mulch]

imo the game was completed late 2024 at the latest and the last few months were just like

[magic narwhal]

Because then you’d have the project essentially fully completed…?

[ashen cobalt]

theres no way they could shadow drop it without retail employees posting pictures of the game boxes

[red mulch]

minor polishes

[brittle garnet]

1 month is too long

[red mulch]

yeah you don't have to release it right away do you

[potent sky]

Physical won’t happen for a good while

[cerulean sable]

i haye all of u so much thst i will spend the next 8 hrs playing more staller

stalket

[atomic sparrow]

what !!

[cerulean sable]

ok maybe 2 weeks

[frosty light]

✍️🔥

[magic narwhal]

You would still have more precision than just a year release date c’mon now

[dapper topaz]

LMAO night time slow mode for me so yeaa

[cerulean sable]

thats enough to send keys yes

[lilac moss]

Which is sad because I want a physical day one

[red mulch]

that's not how it works

like even just communicating with various distributors, and assuming TC want to release the game on all the platforms at the same time, it can take a lot of time

[opaque sigil]

they really don't need a buffer for keys unless they decide to do it in a very stupid way

[night dagger]

Release 2047

[magic narwhal]

If you have a full game build released to the public, that means you are done with every major development stage

[potent sky]

I feel like if a member of Team Cherry is ill or something comes up then that can slow development and then they might not be able to meet their precise launch date!

[lilac moss]

Yes. That’s why they’ll have a date by then

[red mulch]

with the limited resources they have i can see that like going through the distrubutors can take half a year at least

[lilac moss]

Or it’ll be out

[inland turtle]

IT MIGHT HAPPEN

[dapper topaz]

We probably wouldn't even know if that happens though

[inland turtle]

Silksong tomorrow?!

[lilac moss]

FOR SHAW

[potent sky]

Silksong never!

[cerulean sable]

i think a bigger issue is this fandom falls in the trap of making assumptions and running them as the absolutw truth when in reality we know jack shit

[magic narwhal]

Ah yes of course, silly me the common cold is surely the reason /s

[lilac moss]

[inland turtle]

Born of silk and song

#hk-lore

[dapper topaz]

ABSOLUTELY

Proceeds to hit his head on a wall countless times

[opaque sigil]

People do that constantly it’s almost funny

[brittle garnet]

that doesn't really work that way. Yes, consoles require verification but that's like a 2 week delay tops

[lilac moss]

it's fun

[potent sky]

I mean that’s enough to take one man out for a few days 😭

[ashen cobalt]

silksong fans would lowkey make great conspiracy theorists

[red mulch]

yeah but if you have to do it numerous times

[trim estuary]

I think Silksong fans should play Everhood

[brittle garnet]

just do it all at the same time

[atomic sparrow]

think silksong fans should play hollow knight

[red mulch]

i mean idk with my experience as a musician releasing stuff is a pain in the ass

[dapper topaz]

LMAO
This has been happening since like a very long while now and I don't see it stopping anytime soon

[potent sky]

Too real

[red mulch]

bc you have to coordinate a shitload of things

[inland turtle]

Leth is working with the CIA and FBI to not release silksong so people wouldn't know about 5G mind control

[trim estuary]

Ew no

[brittle garnet]

yeah the amount of misinformation that is casually reinforced is insane. Like every youtube video says Silksong had "several delays" no?? It was only one.

[dapper topaz]

Wait is this fr????
WHAT

[inland turtle]

Several clickbaits*

[frosty light]

the haunting is actually a metaphor that team cherrys trying to sneak into the games story as they struggle to resist their mind control 😔pensiv

[red mulch]

at the same time i can't imagine there wasn't at least a bit of development hell/personal issues involved

[inland turtle]

Only in 2023

[opaque sigil]

Watching it happen in real time is crazy

[red mulch]

honestly i hope they make some sort of a documentary about skong after it releases

[dapper topaz]

Dear lord
🙏🙏🙏

[frosty light]

false knight got corrupted again

[cerulean sable]

i shit you not from the subreddit just a few months ago without a hint of irony

"im so confused with TC being so silent"
"my guess is, one of the team members family members died and they lost will to finish the game"
"omg that wouls be horrible, i hope theyre doing well now"
"yeah it would be a rough position to be in"

?????

[trim estuary]

I think they’re just making the game

[frosty light]

and now itll circle back to letting you damage it if you hit the mace

[cerulean sable]

i still see the covid factor being used as a reason, but then leth did it on his account that they were fine

[dapper topaz]

This is still going on?
...
I last checked the subreddit when they were all posting cat images saying "this fanbase is healing" and allat

[red mulch]

the subreddit had a collective meltdown after the demo announcement

[ashen cobalt]

i think the biggest factors to why its taken this long is just that team cherry is a pretty small team working on a pretty big game who got enough success from hollow knight that they dont have to constantly be working all the time

[rapid abyss]

Is slowmode gone

Are we free

[cerulean sable]

my personal guess is MAYBE (and im only speculating here) Leth is this awkward inbetween where he has to half give opinions as he doesnt want his words to represent on TCs behalf, but at the same TC isnt budging anytime soon

[dapper topaz]

Bye chat ima be back for more brainrot

[rapid abyss]

He should just stay quiet until theres marketing to be done

[cerulean sable]

eh

[red mulch]

my speculation is that he kinda really wants to share info with people and is excited but at the same time he kinda has to stay quiet

that's where the half statements come from

[night dagger]

But its better if the Game takes a little longer and is polished than if the game is shitty and full of bugs

[trim estuary]

He should help me with netcode instead I think

[ashen cobalt]

haha bugs

[night dagger]

Knew that would come

[trim estuary]

Yeah, did you see how Grounded 2 released? It’s full of bugs

[cerulean sable]

he gets shitted on for not talking, its obvs for the past years that despite his hands being tied he genuinely wants to inform the community

he egged TC for months to release a blog back in 2021

[night dagger]

Egg

[atomic sparrow]

🥚

[cerulean sable]

its why we got Riddles instead

[heady iron]

So what you're saying

William and Ari are the true villains in this story

[trim estuary]

Jack is also there

[frosty light]

i think the riddles were my favorite lil bits in this server

[oblique musk]

You know, I never understood that “rushed game forever bad” nonsense. It obviously held true back when Miyamoto said it, because back then, once you released a game that was it. No do-overs. No updates. Now, both rushed and delayed games can be “eventually good”, with the bugs caused by the rush being fixed in a patch.

[frosty light]

on the first one everyone went crazy but it all died down when it was revealed that the reward was just merch

but then boom day 2 new character time

[lone crown]

Mfs acting like 6+ years or so is a long ass time to make a game

[cerulean sable]

ye kinda in the "i wanna do my fucking job but i cant because there is no materiel to work with or TC has different plans"

iirc years ago he said he always wanted TC to slowly learn and be independent because he knows hes not a permanent member, so he was iirc more of a training wheel for then

[ashen cobalt]

its still really bad for a games reputation when its buggy and unoptimised on launch

[opaque sigil]

crazy that once upon a time if a game shipped with a game breaking bug you basically needed to reprint all the discs and distribute them to be swapped

[oblique musk]

It is for Team Cherry. Granted, most of their games have been for game jams.

[odd zinc]

Yes, “let them cook” been said 100 times before, people just need communication

[full rune]

Want

[trim estuary]

Need

[heady iron]

And people say physical media is good

I LOOOOVE LIVE SERVICE

[night dagger]

Cyberpunk got patched, But it leaves a Mark…

[ashen cobalt]

yes i hope silksong is a gacha game :)

[full rune]

Hello everybody my name punkiplier

[lone crown]

It’d be nice to have comms but “need” is crazy

[trim estuary]

I wish my Ironeyes left Marks

[oblique musk]

Then they can release a Silksong anime to reignite the hype. Simple as.

[night dagger]

Good idea

[opaque sigil]

there's nothing as heartbreaking as a bad ironeye

[atomic sparrow]

hi punkiplier

[full rune]

hey guys

[atomic sparrow]

hi !

[night dagger]

…

[oblique musk]

I think an excessively greedy Ironeye is worse than one who’s just bad at the game.

[night dagger]

Hai

[oblique musk]

Double reply fail

[full rune]

Alright ttaco wrap it up

[fresh zodiac]

youre stealing andys bit

rude.

[night dagger]

I know

[opaque sigil]

I disagree, a greedy ironeye who is competent can at least make good use of most of the things they snatch up

[lone crown]

An ironeye without mark severely nerfs team DPS

[rough quiver]

Honestly hk animated series could be fire

[oblique musk]

Look me in the eye and tell me an Ironeye can make use of a graven school talisman

[night dagger]

Its getting worse

[opaque sigil]

I said most

[lone crown]

Every everdark theres always gotta be an issue with something
Cant believe maris broke the fourth wall to attack actual nations

[cerulean sable]

Omori took 7 but instead were busy calling it mid for the lack of tactical gameplay set in a deep stategic gritty open world with 14 different weapons and over 150 different skills

face enemies ranging from cutthroat brigands, monstrous beasts, the ancient legionnairies of the undead, the ravaging northern raiders, caste soldiers of the south and professional soldiers, as you test your mettle against a wide array of vicious adversaries

complete with full 3 expansions, fight your way to legend or die trying in this epic and deep mercenary simulation

[lone crown]

Mfs got a shifting earth event irl 😭 🙏

[ashen cobalt]

starring a silent jack black as the knight

[night dagger]

I dropped a bow Talisman… he doesnt take it. But my Boost incantation Talisman was taken in less than a sec

[jade canopy]

Ah yes free money

[frosty light]

dude im always saying this

[lone crown]

“sentient augur” 😭

[ashen cobalt]

mr beastttt

[jade canopy]

Wait mr beast launches a casino ? That is like, definitely a headline

[opaque sigil]

silver lining though, first duo run could be augur depending on how many are available

[night dagger]

Fastest delete in history

[ashen cobalt]

man famous for acts of generosity opens the most exploitative business

[cerulean sable]

finally someone gets me

[tidal ruin]

#sk-discussion message

[lone crown]

[tidal ruin]

[ashen cobalt]

https://www.nintendo.com/us/nintendo-direct/7-31-2025/

[lone crown]

You sent me a link to gamescom

[opaque sigil]

[cerulean sable]

[oblique musk]

Fuck

[opaque sigil]

it's 9am EST

[cerulean sable]

you havent been aware of this since 3 hours ago

[tidal ruin]

Its cool that there's a direct, but I don't see a world where it has anything new about silksong personally
Maybe another 5 second clip as a reminder

[south vigil]

WE’RE SO BACK??

[oblique musk]

Which is 6am pt. Which it says.

[south vigil]

lovely to wake up at 6 am for a nintendo direct… again

[south vigil]

i am SO sorry for you

[opaque sigil]

no idea why it says this

[lone crown]

9AM ET

[opaque sigil]

I'm in ET

[lone crown]

Not the right time

[opaque sigil]

that's just wrong

[leaden delta]

Nintendo announcing they’re gifting some of their guys to make hello neighbor 3

[oblique musk]

There was a hello neighbor 2???

[tidal ruin]

Can't wait for hello neighbor 7 to be announced

[plain dagger]

Starts at 15 for me, that's good

All in on this one

[ashen cobalt]

im hoping for spore 2 but that might be unreasonable so probably silksong shadow drop fr

[tidal ruin]

Oh boy

[cerulean sable]

honestly it being a partner direct gives me more confidence cuz we wont compete for metroid 4 and fe4 remakd announcements

[lone crown]

To watch or not to watch
Thursday morning, 25 minute direct…
…or Everdark Augur

[plain dagger]

Spore 2 has less of a chance than Silksong unfortunately
Spore really was peak

[opaque sigil]

this goes so far past funny cringe to physically causing me pain

[opaque sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/both-agree-yes-good-gif-4591420

[tidal ruin]

This might be the first time I've seen a check mark fanboying with my own eyes

[lone crown]

Truth and real

[opaque sigil]

fe4 remake mentioned graaah

[cerulean sable]

rahhhh

[ashen cobalt]

the world wasnt ready for spore

[opaque sigil]

what the fuck intsys

[tidal ruin]

Does partner direct just mean no first party content?

[oblique musk]

A solid 90% of checksmarks will glaze Elon at every opportunity nowadays but ok

[lone crown]

If its genuinely not in this direct im actually gonna be left baffled

[south vigil]

The Nintendo Direct will be <t:1753966800:F>! There is no confirmation that Silksong will be there. Here’s the link: https://www.nintendo.com/us/nintendo-direct/7-31-2025/

[lone crown]

Pin this

[tidal ruin]

I don't have twitter (fuck you I'm not calling it X)

[oblique musk]

You should get X (fuck you im not calling it twitter)

[trim estuary]

Hey Spore still has that small team of devs attached to it so you never know

[ashen cobalt]

things my math teacher says
