[viscid wind]

you're absolutely going to miss silksong

[south vigil]

so uh i might skip to not miss silksong

i’m not feeling great rn anyway

[dusk pilot]

No don't skip

[oblique musk]

Stay in school

[south vigil]

why

missing this after 6 years would suck

[oblique musk]

If you get expelled your parents will take away your Silksong privileges

[south vigil]

is that at gamescom

[dusk pilot]

School is more important than a stupid 2 hr advert

[pulsar trout]

do not get expelled

[viscid wind]

you wont get expelled for skipping one day

[south vigil]

why would i get expelled lmao

[south vigil]

i mean honestly they would prolly be chill with me dropping out if i chose to do so

[viscid wind]

is school more important than silksong

[south vigil]

i’ve been doing school since i was 2 man

[pulsar trout]

Wheres this on the map?

[digital junco]

i thought miku had rabies

[viscid wind]

imo icl unironically truly honest silksong is more important than anything else in my life

[south vigil]

missing ONE day for silksong is fine

[manic valley]

near orlando, florida

[vagrant onyx]

teacher = why didnt u come to school
me = i waiting to see silksong in gamescom event

[wet valley]

[dusk pilot]

Ur cooked then blaz

[oblique musk]

Doomed Yaoi

[wet valley]

dude imagine the trailer comes out and at the end it fades to black and in bold text it reads

[coarse leaf]

did something happen

[wet valley]

SILKSONG... TOMORROW

[orchid locust]

i will not be watching gamescom 🔥

[oblique musk]

Not yet

[wet valley]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

[azure aurora]

What if they announce zotes melody

[dusk pilot]

That's in zoteboat not silksong

[digital junco]

if i stay up late and wake up at 1 when it starts for me itll feel like less of a wait... 😈

[azure aurora]

Its at 7 pm for me ✨

[rocky flicker]

All jokes aside lace game after this to complete the trilogy would be absolute peak

[wet valley]

wait guys whats the plan if there IS a trailer tomorrow but still no release date...🧐

[verbal loom]

Hornet will be the secret boss for Deltarune Chapter 5, trust.

[rocky flicker]

Actually fuck it just an endless stream of sequels based on the rival turned ally

[azure aurora]

I will come after Deadpool and geoff

[orchid locust]

no we need a cornifer action-cartography rpg

[viscid wind]

it's polychrome

[digital junco]

hornet knight reveal

[azure aurora]

But why would you say that? Silksong is tmrw trailer today smh

[south vigil]

yeah

[trim estuary]

what.

[digital junco]

on everything theyll say "silksong is available LATER TODAY ON ALL PLATFORMS"

[cerulean sable]

nah

[rocky flicker]

What kinda hand were u playing lol

[cerulean sable]

id give it 1-2 weeks

[rocky flicker]

Hope it was high card

[cerulean sable]

i dont think a shadow drop is reasonable because of the kickstarter people

[verbal loom]

She suddenly gets isekaied into the Dark World from Pharloom, and the first thing she does is instakill that chapter's supposed secret boss and take the Shadow Crystal.

[frigid flare]

Pretty sure they’ll be like “dropping in 2 weeks lol have fun”

[rocky flicker]

Yeah I do think it’ll be a 2 week thing like hk

[opaque sigil]

This isn’t really an issue

[azure aurora]

I hope silksong is like 25 euro 😭

[cerulean sable]

how so

[wet valley]

im honestly excited for more than 2 seconds of footage to look at while I wait

[rocky flicker]

It’s a bit of an issue

[digital junco]

true true however they are releasing it tomorrow cuz itd be really funny

[orchid locust]

on YOUR soul they’ll say this

[rocky flicker]

They gotta get it early it’s what they paid for

[dense bear]

I hope it's in two weeks, because the headphones that I ordered haven't arrived yet

[opaque sigil]

It’s 2025 sending out a survey that automatically gives people keys of their choice instantly with no delay is like totally doable

[wet valley]

they could do a grounded 2 power move and make it cheaper than hollow knight

[digital junco]

woah woah woah everybody but me 🙂‍↕️

[cerulean sable]

oh yeah thats true

[viscid wind]

can ectoplasm only be used with 5 jokers?

[cerulean sable]

i guess its like what bobby balacava once said

not even quasimodo couldve predicted this

[orchid locust]

i’ve never seen that emoji before what

[azure aurora]

Or a borderlands 3 and make it 80 without any plans to change

[orchid locust]

🙂‍↔️🙂‍↕️🫨

[frigid flare]

Ik im gonna have this chat open as i watch the livestream tmr

[fleet ginkgo]

SILKSONG TOMORROW

[azure aurora]

Same

[frigid flare]

Can’t wait to see how it goes

[azure aurora]

Ima change my pfp to clown wig knight for goodluck 🙏

[vagrant onyx]

I saved 20$ for silksong
I will save upto 30$ by its relesse easily

[azure aurora]

I am selling botw for it ✨

[viscid wind]

I ACCIDENTALLY SOLD WATER SPLASH WITH ANCIENT JOKER NOOO

[rocky flicker]

I have billions of dollars to buy up all of silksong so you poors can’t have it

[azure aurora]

The Germans are so lucky they get skong demo

[rocky flicker]

U aren’t playing flushes?

[azure aurora]

Do we know if it's getting a physical release?

[viscid wind]

i'm playing flushes
but i have four fingers

[rocky flicker]

So nothing changes lol

Unless u have a bunch of stones ur using

[viscid wind]

yes thing changes, if i had water splash i could have gotten an additional 1.5x more often than not

[rocky flicker]

Idk

Shrimply play a normal flush

[cerulean sable]

we will WILL it

we will WIN it

[rocky flicker]

My hot take is that 4 fingers is terrible

Straights suck

High card or NOTHING

[cerulean sable]

my hot take is that cards sucks id rather put my fingers and a knife and do that stab thing where you avoid stabbing your fingers

[wet valley]

either way i have gamepass so i get it for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😛

[rocky flicker]

But if it’s not the same suit it wouldn’t be triggering ancient anyways

Your tactics confuse and bewilder me

[rocky flicker]

I have so much money to spend on silksong microtransactions

Isn’t it crazy how ari and William are millionaires

[azure aurora]

Im proud to pay full price for it smh

[rocky flicker]

I’m gonna pirate it something something team cherry hates fans because they aren’t washing my feet and sending me direct emails

[viscid wind]

does anyone EVER use this

[coral prawn]

No

[rocky flicker]

Not really

It’s funny sometimes

[azure aurora]

Ima be honest I think the team cherry hate is slightly unjustified 😭

[serene chasm]

Ari stole my croissant

[pallid plinth]

maybe if you used one card type a billion types beforehand and then use something else

[rocky flicker]

Does monolith reset if two hands are tied

[azure aurora]

What if kojima announces it tmrw

[rocky flicker]

I’ve never used monolith

[viscid wind]

how is this even viable

[coral prawn]

Its not

[pallid plinth]

tied hands reset it

[rocky flicker]

Oh that’s so ass what

I was thinking u could swap between pair and high card but guess not

[rocky flicker]

What r u getting now score wise

[pallid plinth]

its pretty situational, like if you get it later in a run after only playing like high cards or pairs the whole time then switch to something else

[viscid wind]

uhh i got 2 and a half million just now

[pallid plinth]

then youll get a good amount of usage from it

[topaz totem]

Viable with all wild cards

[orchid locust]

i can’t find a gif of doing five finger fillet in rdr2 at mach speed so just imagine i put it here

[topaz totem]

Just lost an e13 run

[rocky flicker]

The humble (one of the suit debuff) boss blind

[topaz totem]

No idol

[viscid wind]

does ancient joker score from wild cards?

[topaz totem]

Yep!

[rocky flicker]

Yeah

[vagrant onyx]

rich people everywhere

[wet valley]

I respect it

[viscid wind]

i didnt check th boss blind

rip 20 dollas.

[topaz totem]

I have like $20 in case it shadow drops tomorrow

[wet valley]

dude silksong demo looks REALLY different from the trailers... smh

[vagrant onyx]

wt if game is 30$

[topaz totem]

yea but more in ,my steam wallet

another $20

[dusk pilot]

Platinum Edition - $360
Collectors Edition - $680
Hollow Edition - $1320
Knight Edition - $2600

[manic valley]

the location of Gamescom (in Germany) in wplace has absolutely no Skong art

[dusk pilot]

I mean the hk millions didn't last long

[vagrant onyx]

what is hk game launch price?

[wet valley]

https://tenor.com/view/money-breaking-bad-sleep-on-money-lay-on-money-money-pile-gif-5382667

team cherry the attosecond they release silksong on steam for 4 pences

[viscid wind]

wait does ancient joker work with mime

[orchid locust]

i think it was around 0.25 Venetian ducats when hk first came out in 1312

[coral prawn]

Nope

[viscid wind]

:(

wait i forgor what mime does

[vagrant onyx]

in US dollar its 15$ right on launch?

[viscid wind]

yeah oops!

[dusk pilot]

Can I borrow some ducat then

[viscid wind]

um. why are some special and some look normal

[digital junco]

all in on $25

[azure aurora]

What if its 24.99

[coral prawn]

It unspecial your cards

[viscid wind]

awesome.

[digital junco]

you know what i mean

[topaz totem]

$30 calling it now max $40 but i doubt it

[orchid locust]

silksong will cost around 76.50 Standard Galactic Credits when it releases in 4408

[dusk pilot]

That's like 30000 dollars today

[digital junco]

time traveler approved knowledge

[trim estuary]

$25 I reckon

[dusk pilot]

Hot take silksong will be free

[digital junco]

Rotten Cherry: We are proud to announce that Silksong releases tomorrow for $75

[azure aurora]

Silksong will be the first dynamiclly priced game

[orchid locust]

nah currency inflates it’s not that much

[orchid locust]

verified time traveler information

[dusk pilot]

Why did silksong get distributed in mol??

[orchid locust]

it just sold that many copies

[wet valley]

do yall think silksong will be game of the year? I genuinely think so

[azure aurora]

Silksong made 4 trillion mold

[dusk pilot]

But why would u use chemistry ewwwww

[viscid wind]

Wow.

[orchid locust]

mol isn’t chemistry it’s just a number that was made for and very commonly used in chemistry

[azure aurora]

If the slim possibly silksong releases next year its gonna be insane seeing gta 6 vs silksong at the game awards

But skong tmr...w.

[dusk pilot]

Still chemistry ew

[restive garden]

SILKSOOOOOOONG

[orchid locust]

chemistry is cool you’re just hating 💔

[restive garden]

Aight imma sleep now, peace

[dusk pilot]

I am chemistry's biggest hater

[daring hemlock]

Nah its this year 🫡

[viscid wind]

Wow.

[coral prawn]

Wow

[pearl arch]

only 6.022e23 days until silksong 🙏

[topaz totem]

yay

[orchid locust]

Hollow Knight: Silksong will reportedly utilize complex computational mathematics in a process known as “rendering” in order to generate visuals on an external display.

[dusk pilot]

No it will just use magic

[azure aurora]

Silksong will be a apple arcade exclusive

[wet valley]

lowkey the demo from how many years ago looked so good I cant even imagine how majestic itll look now

paralax scrolling might bring me to genuine tears

[viscid wind]

holy fucking shit dude

this is where i get off

[orchid locust]

nah silksong will be a neuralink exclusive

hornet will take over your brain like the cyberpunk relic

[azure aurora]

I hope hornet or the little ghost make it to smash

Ima be honest seeing how confident Nintendo is with the silksong demo display maybe 😭

[digital junco]

watching as my bum ass laptop disintegrates upon launch

[orchid locust]

silksong minimum requirements will be a 5090 (that still needs dlss performance framegen to run at 60fps)

[rocky flicker]

On most normal runs the next ante is the one that gets me lol

[viscid wind]

the next ante as in ante 9?

or ante 13

[swift sand]

ante 39

[lone crown]

There’s a slightly different kind of direction they’re going with the new version which i really prefer

[viscid wind]

only nebula and green deck left

[digital junco]

hyped for what the new annoying ass enemy no one likes will be

[lone crown]

The green pops more in the new one and light sources feel more natural and obvious where they’re coming from

The new one’s spotlight kinda lighting also brightens the ground better as well

[viscid wind]

icl both look fucking awesome

[lone crown]

Foreground blends in better in new one

Absolute cinema

[digital junco]

theyre both fire but the left's kinda obtrusive so i do prefer the other

[lone crown]

Both are great ofc but i really like the new style

You can really tell they massively changed how they do lighting

[brittle garnet]

Its like, more vibrant and glowing

[lone crown]

Yeah

[spring spear]

wonder if that is in line with how the tone of the gsme is gonna be

[lone crown]

I think some fucked shit is gonna happen

But maybe there will be a good ending to all of it

[spring spear]

HK seemed very dark and broody, maybe SS has a different vibe?

[lapis oyster]

Silksong tomorrow TODAY

[lone crown]

1000th time of bringing up the Dies Irae

Also Pharloom’s Folly is ominous

[digital junco]

there will be beautiful vibrant areas and then there will be super ultra hell when you stumble somewhere else

[lone crown]

The kingdom is flawed to its core presumably and many Pharloom regions look primitive, wild, hostile, the areas that arent religious or Citadel-run

[viscid wind]

Why do people think that sharpe is void

[lone crown]

Hell even towns we find seem to be damaged and even raided

Pharloom is not a safe place

[verbal narwhal]

Ok sorry because I'm sure it's busy with this question rn but what do you guys think are the chances of actual news at ONL tonight? I don't have much time today but I can make it if there's a high potential of genuine news.

[viscid wind]

he literally has gendered pronouns!!!!!!!

[vagrant onyx]

I couldnt find much difference except 2nd pic feels more detailed maybe due to high resolution? and it has more vibrant colours

[lapis oyster]

Literally guaranteed 100%

[lone crown]

Its almost certain imo, a demo without any more info would infuriate everyone and would be a waste

[viscid wind]

personally i think 100%

[lone crown]

I think its 100% as well

[verbal narwhal]

Release date likely? Or just general timeframe you guys reckon

[viscid wind]

geoff keighley also hinted at it

[lone crown]

Yep

I fully expect a release date

[viscid wind]

release date imo because the window is small enough already

[brittle garnet]

100%

[young saffron]

All I can think about is silksong in class

[lone crown]

Fucking finally man ive waited for over five years this does NOT feel real 😭

[vagrant onyx]

before christmas is still long

[brittle garnet]

I dont think being void means genderlessness, just because the vessels were

[young saffron]

100% release date

[digital junco]

team cherry FAMOUS for ragebaiting fans with NO reason

[verbal narwhal]

I really hope so. I was kinda beginning to lose hope. Lowkey this is the most interested I've been in a game in so long, and outside of maybe Clair Obscur I've not got the same feeling from a game that Hollow Knight gave me

[young saffron]

Anything else is dumb ATP

Especially with the new demo + ACMI spoilers

[lone crown]

God

The day has come

[young saffron]

I'm going to explode

[viscid wind]

no matter how much you hate geoff keighley, you will still love him for silksong

[lone crown]

I didnt even process it yet but ik all that hype will trigger once i see it today

[verbal narwhal]

I do find it funny that Geoff has become proxy for Team Cherry for this stuff

[vagrant onyx]

guys if u get spoiled now u cant enjoy game

[viscid wind]

what? no

[digital junco]

this is the first game event in a while ive actually joined the ss hype for cuz it has actual merit 😭

[lapis oyster]

That bozo put on the clown nose

[lone crown]

You’re smart for that cause this time we’re winning

[viscid wind]

how is posting a selfie of himself with a clown nose being a proxy for tc

[verbal narwhal]

I don't mean officially. But I'm saying last year, he had to be the one to say that there wouldn't be news.

[viscid wind]

pr stunt

[lone crown]

Silksong will finally become more than a fucking concept

[verbal narwhal]

I guess you can say that but he gave more communication than TC has in the last few years, as much as I hate to say it.

[digital junco]

Cause that’s our odds for this ONL

[vagrant onyx]

u respawn like video game?

[viscid wind]

Me when i ignore leth

[lapis oyster]

4 in 4 chance we get silksong tonight

[brittle garnet]

I mean to be honest it's not TCs fault that the fanbase expects it at every event

With literally no hints

(until now)

[viscid wind]

Bloodstone + hanging chad + oops! All 6s + smeared joker

[verbal narwhal]

That's not really my point, I think overall its pretty bad communication as a whole from them. I obviously have full faith that the game will be good.

[vagrant onyx]

even now demo is confirmed in booth but nothing confirmed to show in gamescom live event

Dude powdered would be so upset to see so many people being 100% hopeful

[lapis oyster]

I love how they are still pushing COD black ops 7 like anyone cares

[pearl arch]

powdered when people have joy and whimsy 🤢🤢🤢

[pearl arch]

the 8-figure sales in question:

[vagrant onyx]

silksong goty 2025 please

[lone crown]

Most exciting part about silksong releasing is not having to hear all that discourse in general

[viscid wind]

Do yall think people are going to hate the game being too different

[coarse leaf]

i dont care i just want to play silksong i dont care if its bad i played cyberpunk 2077 on ps4 at release

[pearl arch]

YES!

[umbral ether]

idk and idc

[lone crown]

I dont let other people’s opinions influence me

You’re allowed to enjoy garbage

Like how rainworld is ass

[lapis oyster]

I do geniuinely think it's going to stay at about 80% positive reviews. It's way too much hype at this point, no matter what the game is people will find a way to complain

[umbral ether]

who gives a crap what a guy named destroyalldemocrats thinks

[digital junco]

https://tenor.com/view/archer-stirling-point-out-bye-gif-13436474

[crude edge]

disturbed individuals found everywhere it seems

[viscid wind]

Steam will put a * on the reviews count
(A significant amount of off topic reviews detected recently or something)

[lone crown]

Knight being “male” is also funny af

[coarse leaf]

i just hope i get the same feeling of wonder i did when i first played hollow knight

getting lost in the giant tiny world

[lone crown]

I mean the lead playtester played silksong early on and said it makes HK look like dogshit

He didnt even playtest in the latest stages of development

[vagrant onyx]

u wont get it now because u r spoiling by watching demo

[lone crown]

He stopped working with them for a while iirc

[coarse leaf]

oh thats pretty cool

all i know is Joseph anderson will be happy vause slopes

[umbral ether]

i highly doubt hey even played hollow knight they just want something to be mad at

[viscid wind]

I was like 10 when I first played hk i do not remember my first playthrough

[coarse leaf]

mine was awesome cause i got to be stuck in my bedroom while playing it

[digital junco]

i never thought i would want to experience being lost as shit in what to do next again but i do 🙂‍↕️

[coarse leaf]

me when deepnest

[lone crown]

Im excited for that slopes area because it literally has identical Weaver Den architecture except ruined, we’re gonna get a ton of Weaver lore

[midnight trout]

Holy shit I just remembered what’s tonight yippee

[lapis oyster]

The "city of tears" moment is still unmatched by any game I've ever played

[lone crown]

Also you know them being in the logo iconography, weavers will be very important to ss

[kind ermine]

https://tenor.com/view/phatearl-gif-15012563793440682841

[viscid wind]

Deepnest is pretty straightforward

[polar stag]

I personally dk if overhyped is the right word. I do think the fanbase has gone insane during the wait, but HK is at least in my top 3 fav games ever, even if I do acknowledge its few shortcomings.

I think with the experience, budget, and time they've had to work on Silksong it will be even better than HK and make up for the areas it fell short in.

[coarse leaf]

my favourite slore in the og game were the tramstations

[lone crown]

🎣

[viscid wind]

Idk I associate city of tears with low fps

[coarse leaf]

but when you get there you fall and youre like Oh God

[mortal bluff]

Bro playing a toaster oven

[lone crown]

Edith please retire your damn device

Let it rest please

[kind ermine]

are you playing on a shoe

[digital junco]

need another challenge to piss me off as much as flower quest

[lone crown]

Its overdue for retirement

[light galleon]

Are there any doubters this time

[dusk pilot]

Edith pls use a optimization mod

[coarse leaf]

i keep thinking about this lol

[polar stag]

I foresee Silksong being at least a 9/10 for me personally because it looks like everything I'd want out of a sequel

[pallid plinth]

good morning krusty krew

[coarse leaf]

environment art

[pearl arch]

silksong's environments are gorgeous so far

[lone crown]

I think he meant the game in general but idk his exact wording

Its been ages since

[viscid wind]

Graig we miss you

[lone crown]

It makes sense anyway, HK had zero budget

[dusk pilot]

Can u come back

[digital junco]

"we are proud to announce that silksong is...50% COMPLETE!!!"

[lapis oyster]

Doubters getting mogged today

[pearl arch]

so ready for them to announce that silksong is delayed but if you preorder you can get a canvas bag and hornet mask

[spring spear]

sorry but I think Deepnest is pretty gayforward

This was said in 2020 btw

Tomorrow, it will be the Xbox trailer with 2025 stapled to the end of it, and I the demo is just the old demo with a fuzzier background. Calling it

[pallid plinth]

Long live the Kaiser, Kaiser Hornet

[viscid wind]

Will silksong feature egghead from disco Elysium

[lapis oyster]

Hollow knight was pretty buggy on release tbh

[pallid plinth]

SPOOILERSSSS IM PLAYING ELSYSIUM

[dusk pilot]

Maybe

[lone crown]

Restraint from saying overused joke

[surreal shard]

I just got back from the Nintendo booth. This game is terrible

[pearl arch]

HARDCORE!!!

i've gotten half the game spoiled and idc

[viscid wind]

No that's just switch 2

[digital junco]

all in on lace teaming up with hornet after realizing there is something way more important to combat than the foreign girl that didnt do anything

[topaz totem]

What joke?

[polar stag]

The only things I think HK really could've done better are combat, basic enemy design, and the charm system could've used a bit more work. I also didn't really like The Hive as an area.

So far Silksong seems to greatly improve on combat and enemy design with additional complexity, and I think I definitely prefer tools and crests over the charm system.

[pearl arch]

one of the best experiences i've had playing a game

[viscid wind]

Hollow knight is bad

[umbral ether]

gn

[pearl arch]

i REALLY like crests but i'm skeptical on tools

[pallid plinth]

true theres prolly lots of paths

[lone crown]

EDGE magazine reaffirms that enemies will be a lot more interesting and wont have a bunch of reskins and allat

[light galleon]

Im excited for silksong lore

[lone crown]

Like they compared HK enemies to goombas

[pallid plinth]

Edge magazine fans

[viscid wind]

What are you, mossbag?

[lapis oyster]

edge magazine 🤤🤤🤤

[alpine folio]

when is geoff gonna stream the silksong shadow drop¡

[umbral ether]

was hollow knight's default keyboard controls good

[topaz totem]

Decent

[dusk pilot]

Never

[topaz totem]

Lol

[viscid wind]

In 13 hours

[polar stag]

Yeah It makes me a lot more excited for combat. Outside of boss fights at a certain point there's not really any enjoyment or purpose in engaging with basic enemies in HK

[pearl arch]

compared to other indie darlings they're WAYYYYYY better

i want to kill whoever did the default keybinds for axiom verge

[viscid wind]

I don't want to watch till the end of gamescom for silksong 2am is late at night

[viscid wind]

But I'd have to

[lone crown]

Im also excited for the whole wall jumping in silksong since they vastly improved the amount of options you have on walls, including a slight wall cling and gradual increase in sliding off a wall, and also the ability to dash up a wall

[umbral ether]

im asking because i only played hollow knight on switch so i want to know if i should use a ps4 controller for silksong

[digital junco]

cant wait for that one guy to drop silksong all bosses no hit 12 hours after release

[dusk pilot]

Use whatever u have

[barren sequoia]

11am for me

[pearl arch]

5 on a youtube thumbnail with the final boss in the middle

[topaz totem]

Xbox rady port steam

[lapis oyster]

Shit's gonna be straight up ODM gear flying

[viscid wind]

Wallbounces when!?

[barren sequoia]

Doesn't seem too bad

[lone crown]

You dont necessarily have to keep spamming wall jump anymore

[umbral ether]

same

[barren sequoia]

Fucking nintendo directs are at 6am where I live

[umbral ether]

you also pst timezone

[viscid wind]

Merican

[pearl arch]

god bless pst

[barren sequoia]

Yes

[pearl arch]

christ's chosen timezone

[barren sequoia]

I learned what timezones were because of fortnite

[lone crown]

As soon as we get that date I am going radio silent

[umbral ether]

i thought you typed mexican

[pearl arch]

est and gmt gtfo

[polar stag]

I can understand the skepticism on tools but I think it adds another layer of choice and consideration to how you approach areas and fights, and the charms just didn't do that for me.

[viscid wind]

The charms were horribly unbalanced

[umbral ether]

i think the melatonin gummy is starting to kick in

[pearl arch]

charms are boring definitely and i just wound up doing stat boosting ones at the end

[viscid wind]

Half of them are kind of irrelevant for the average player

[pearl arch]

especially with how few slots you have

[lapis oyster]

they are pretty charming tho

[wet valley]

the crests might be the coolest thing ive ever seen

[pearl arch]

i like the miniknights even if they don't do anything

[viscid wind]

IKR??????

[barren sequoia]

I hope before the game drops we get like a system trailer

[lone crown]

Crests granting alternate movesets is straight gas

They cooked

[barren sequoia]

Showcasing how crests fully work and the tool system

[polar stag]

Longer nail, quick slash, more soul, stuff like that yeah. The more unique ones are either gimmicky or highly situational

[barren sequoia]

Not just thr badic understanding we have now

[viscid wind]

I fuckinh can't wait for the hunter crest

[lone crown]

Thats also my favorite one so far, the claw one

[pearl arch]

that'll make me actually WANT to use them

[viscid wind]

attack that turns you into a buzzsaw❤️ ❤️💕💕💖

[pearl arch]

instead of just ignoring them

[wet valley]

as much as I want to play silksong on controller, the only thing I have is my steam deck, and I dont think it can truly capture the beauty of this game

[digital junco]

starting to dawn on me that i suck at video games and 112ing hk was through pure willpower (i now forgot everything about playing the game) so im just gonna be getting cooked and dragged until i somehow make it again

[lone crown]

On EVERYONE’s souls we ALL cannot wait to fight this thing

[polar stag]

Hornet's going to have so many more options than the Knight did.

Crest, tools, plus her regular acquired combat/movement abilities

[carmine island]

Honestly true

[polar stag]

She looks so much more agile and versatile to play and I'm so excited

[digital junco]

the stunt farming is gonna go so crazy 😭

[pearl arch]

yes.

[viscid wind]

playing father's pizzeria deluxe while listening to radiohead

[polar stag]

People are going to be making actual BUILDS for Hornet which is awesome

[pearl arch]

disco elysium when metal tartarus walks in

[topaz totem]

Silkshots > skillshots

[harsh yarrow]

Sadly the crest it makes sense to have it likely doesn't

[barren sequoia]

Id be cool if its corpse just hung after you kill it

[pallid plinth]

kinda wanna start back up my outer wilds playthrough but im gonna be so confused where i am

[viscid wind]

because you see hornet fighting it with said crest

[digital junco]

i see a "let me get a really cool finishing blow.." followed by fumbling and losing the fight at the end in my future

[lone crown]

On EVERYONE’s souls we ALL cant wait to fight Last Judge

[barren sequoia]

Doesnt diseperse or nothing its just stuck hanging there for the rest of the game

[harsh yarrow]

Yep

[umbral ether]

what does cresets do again

[topaz totem]

Spoilers stop

[gloomy cobalt]

Genuinely just a bit worried

[pearl arch]

spoilers make your car go faster because of downforce

[umbral ether]

about?

[gloomy cobalt]

because the whole thing has been how tc hasn't released silksong

[pearl arch]

game being shit?

[gloomy cobalt]

but now they are

[polar stag]

Think about the modding potential to with modded crests, tools, and abilities for further build customization

[lone crown]

Trailer content?
Did you not watch the trailer deliberately? Ill stop then

[polar stag]

It's gonna be so peak

[pearl arch]

i just silked my song reading that

[umbral ether]

it was most likly scope creep and not develepment hell

[gloomy cobalt]

and so if the whole meme surrounding silksong is that there is no silksong, what happens when there is

[trim estuary]

WE are maining Reaper Crest

[barren sequoia]

I really hope the the game is expansive in cause and effect

[lone crown]

Hunter*

[umbral ether]

which one is reaper crest

[trim estuary]

IDK

[lone crown]

I am SO curious about the gear crest

[pearl arch]

silksong launches with a similar size to hollow knight but an obscene amount of side content

[pallid plinth]

nah only hornet skins and randomizer mods

[alpine basin]

Did you see that are confirmed Silksong playable ALSO on Rog Xbox? So...

[wet valley]

heres my theory on the final boss of silksong: So we all know that theyre taking silk to put at the top of the cititdel right? I think that its making cacoon of somesort, and the boss might be like a wyrm or something that wants to use it to turn into like radience 2 or something... let me cook yall

[barren sequoia]

I recently played psychonauts and my favorite aspect was how every time you finished something the world changed and new dialouge and interactions opened

[polar stag]

Guys it's almost here omfg it's gonna be so good

[barren sequoia]

Would be cool to see shit like that in ss

[alpine basin]

At Gamescom

[lone crown]

Yeah we know

It’s fire

[umbral ether]

we did eventully get mods like pale court

[topaz totem]

Not really no lol

[pallid plinth]

if these modders dont step up, i guess i gotta learn modding

[alpine basin]

Xbox said Silksong would be available when launching the console, Hype is real

[pallid plinth]

to carry these mfs

[topaz totem]

Its ok tho i leave

[digital junco]

boss spot counters that do triple damage when 🔥🔥🔥

[topaz totem]

Laters guys

[umbral ether]

be the change you want to see or something

[lone crown]

I can just stop but be careful in this chat in general since technically there are no rules against it

[rocky flicker]

Xbox lies to everyone all the time they said they’d give me 5 dollars and the cheap ass never texted me back

[umbral ether]

im going to bed see you tomorrow when we hopefully get silksong news

[gloomy cobalt]

have a good sleep

[wet valley]

what do you guys think the final boss of ss will be

[lone crown]

The Resonance 🙏

[umbral ether]

whatever is controlling the giant robot boss maybe

[lone crown]

Giant ass bell god

[midnight trout]

E1331

[lone crown]

Shadow of the colossus ass creature strung together with silk

[midnight trout]

or snosk

[frozen sandal]

Today for sure

[umbral ether]

tomorrow for sure

[midnight trout]

Tommorow for sure

[topaz totem]

Tru

[midnight trout]

Cl*nker

[wet valley]

dawg wait cook

[lone crown]

Dont diss my goat gamma

[dire ravine]

its going to be real

[wet valley]

im confident whatever it is is trying to cocoon in all that silk

[gloomy cobalt]

Hey don't call gamma that he a real one

[lone crown]

Forget pantheons, we getting symphonies instead

[midnight trout]

My fault Skong gang

[lone crown]

Symphony of Pharloom

[frozen sandal]

Predictions for Silksong
We will have new lore about Tiso
The lore will be connected to hollow knight
We will have harder bosses than absolute radiances

[topaz totem]

My hair is starting to grow out nicely

[digital junco]

tiso will be a major aspect of all hornet childhood flashbacks

[midnight trout]

The fleas Finna start a choire

Idk how to spell choir

[frozen sandal]

Tiso is her true father, uncle and grandpa

[digital junco]

✍️🔥

[lone crown]

[polar stag]

I can't stop thinking about how much cooler Hornet will look during movement and combat. They've put so much work into all the sprites and animations it's gonna be so flashy

[digital junco]

hivemind species tiso theory

[lone crown]

Also guys, double damage will be introduced early on in the game for particularly lethal attacks

So damage taken will be dynamic

[frozen sandal]

All that to get one tapped by Tiso

[lone crown]

And intense

[pearl arch]

imagine the meltdown r/silksong's gonna have if there's no news other than the demo

genuine death threats

[frozen sandal]

I can't wait to lose 4 masks in 1 second

[lone crown]

The usual

[wet valley]

do we even know if silksong is a prequel or a sequel?

[digital junco]

shes overpaying her aura debt for when she got knocked out by THK

[lone crown]

No confirmation but evidence points to sequel and ignore everyone who tries to argue otherwise

Trust

[median fractal]

there isnt "Evidence" really but it makes more sense

[wet valley]

i hope its a sequel, theres so many loose ends that I think need wrapping up before the hollow knight universde is put to rest

[lone crown]

Prequel vs sequel has been an exhausted topic for like six years it’s torture

[lone crown]

Yeah pretty much

[frozen sandal]

"A black guy with a blue Hood" i better see this dialogue

[wet valley]

i just dont know how theyll wrap up godmaster and all the different endings

[lone crown]

What if Tiso is Sharpe

[frozen sandal]

Every ending is canon they said

[median fractal]

Their statement on endigns mightve changed over the years

Also if you ask me, I dont see how the two versions of Embrace the Void are canon

[frozen sandal]

Lace boss fight on the e3 demo looked already harder than Hornet protector

[polar stag]

People sending death threats or having a meltdown to Team Cherry are horrible and unhinged lunatics, but they're still the minority of the subreddit.

The main issue I have with the subreddit is that it's 99% unoriginal Silkposts and people crying when it doesn't show at an unpromised event for the 20th time

[trim estuary]

?tag jokerpsa

[white sail]

No tag jokerpsa found.

[lone crown]

There are actual sequels that exist which leave the gaps between games ambiguous

Which is possible in silksong’s context as its story is separate from Hallownest despite having shared elements like weavers and lifeblood

[trim estuary]

What…

[lone crown]

?tag info jokerpsa

[white sail]

https://youtube.com/clip/UgzlVc4LM4J6_DfuscZ4AaABCQ

No ending stops Hornet from being captured, and the ability to break seals with bugs from Pharloom makes Hornet being locked in the Black Egg not an issue. Dreamers also don’t die when sealed, we simply didn’t have the means to remove them without killing them.

[trim estuary]

Oh it’s info

[digital junco]

see what theyre gonna do it make hornets backstory stuff from the first game significant but then ignore everything else that happens ingame so we have no idea when tf this is happening

[lone crown]

Skill issue

Disgrace to the GEF name

[trim estuary]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/283467363729408000/1403912987793948812/1219798523218890782.gif

[median fractal]

ok but hornet protector isnt hard and anybody who says that has a chronic skill issue

[pallid plinth]

I heard silksong will have procedural generated animations

[frozen sandal]

Yeah but lace is the second boss and it already looked a bit rough for a second boss

[wet valley]

dude i hope silksong is difficult as hell

[median fractal]

and fyi HK was my first ever metroidvania and it didnt take me long.

[lone crown]

Its diabolical that Discord removed Gartic Phone btw

[pearl arch]

this is true

[frozen sandal]

I hope you go cry on reddit complaining about it 😂😂😂😂✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿

[wet valley]

🙁

[median fractal]

That is honestly good news. I am really hoping Silksong has some difficulty as long as its fair

I would assume TC expect you to have played Hollow Knight before Silksong

[pearl arch]

grumpy vibekiller 🤨

[lone crown]

Yeah bosses seem to be more complex

[median fractal]

while not necessarily forcing that.

[frozen sandal]

Same for dark souls games

[lone crown]

Even moss mother is technically more complex than something like gruz mother

[lone crown]

Its designed so people can play silksong without needing to play HK

[frozen sandal]

E3 demo was 6 years ago (i feel old) the bosses and areas most likely have been changed

[wet valley]

im scared that silksong will be like a totk situation, where its objectively a better game but it just cant beat my first experience with the first game

even though totk ISNT a better game than botw and I will forever die on this hill

[pearl arch]

difference is that totk didn't innovate at all and had a ton of similar stuff

[median fractal]

yes but also expecting you to have played the first game doesnt mean the game is specifically made around it I think?

[frozen sandal]

Silksong experience will be like Elden Ring✌🏿

[lone crown]

We lowk need bed of chaos in the function

[frozen sandal]

The silksong final boss is black? Yes
Does he wear a blue hood? Yes
Does he have a blue shield?
Yes
Is he the goat? Yes😂✌🏿

[polar stag]

I want it to be challenging but not so much that most required bosses take like 50 attempts minimum.

I'm fine with a couple insanely difficult super optional bosses. Think like Malenia or Mohg in Elden Ring. Their areas are super out of the way and players will only fight them by pursuing specific questlines

[lone crown]

I fucking love mohg

[frozen sandal]

Same

[polar stag]

He is really cool

[lone crown]

Mohg for sale
Miquella the only customer

[frozen sandal]

We don't need unfair bosses like PCR

[wet valley]

WRONG, i want to SUFFER I want to RAGE! I want to feel like I am a worthless BUG being SMASHED into the GROUND! because I am a SPIDER! and I am WEAK!

[lone crown]

Pre nerf pcr was something to behold

On god that cross slash

[frozen sandal]

Hardest boss of all time in gaming

[cunning geode]

ever played Plutonia

[wet valley]

no

[viscid wind]

Fucking Goated

[frozen sandal]

People who beat pcr when the dlc released were aliens✌🏿

[cunning geode]

👹

[river ivy]

Do not remind me of the horror

[lone crown]

I hate myself cause i thought it was a good idea to do it level 1 without the blessings

[river ivy]

On release pcr took me 8 hours

[frozen sandal]

How many tries did it took?

[lone crown]

And then of course he gets nerfed to be playable like a week or so after

[frozen sandal]

Only 8 hours? Lie

[lone crown]

Uhhhhh i genuinely forgot

Pcr was surprisingly like my fifth dlc kill for that challenge

[frozen sandal]

It's sad to see that nobody will summon you anymore for Radahn

[river ivy]

I was tweaking that was with 20 blessing btw

[viscid wind]

what is pcr

[lone crown]

I saved bayle for last

[frozen sandal]

Promised consort radahn

[lone crown]

I cleared the entire dlc in 3 days cause i was addicted and couldnt put down the controller

Really fun to explore sote i liked the verticality

Tragic that some areas felt empty

[frozen sandal]

Sote was released almost 14 months ago

[polar stag]

I want to do Shadow of the Erdtree because it looks awesome, but committing to another playthrough to reach the endgame is such an intimidating and monumental task. One that I am not ready to undertake. Elden Ring is already massive even the base game

[lone crown]

Your original save isnt there?

[river ivy]

bayle is my favorite fromsoft boss

[polar stag]

Yeah but I would rather do a new character than do my original. I made a new character just haven't started

[frozen sandal]

I beat Malenia in ng ng+ and ng++

[lone crown]

Bayle is cinema

[gloomy cobalt]

You can just speedrun the build you want and then radahn and mohg

[lone crown]

Jumping his nuke is cinema

[frozen sandal]

I speedrunned the dlc on ng++

[river ivy]

I think Dancing lion is in the bottom half of the SOTD main bosses but I think he is underrated lowk

[timid sail]

No silksong tommorow - Silksong today

[lone crown]

Putrescent Knight is underrated

[wet valley]

silksong in ...12 hours and 10 minutes???

[frozen sandal]

When you learn how to dea with the horse Is fun

[lone crown]

Its very simple and combined with the fact its in a pretty barren region it can feel a bit lacking but on its own i love putrescent knight

[frozen sandal]

I speedrunned the putrescent knight with the big stick in like 1 minute, r2 spam and a critical attack i almost killed it

[lone crown]

Any boss with many jumpable attacks makes dodging way more engaging than just rolling it all

[dusk pilot]

Jump dodge > rolly polly dodge

[frozen sandal]

Rellana

[lone crown]

I love nightreign for this too, adel’s got a similar style

[frozen sandal]

I haven't beat Rellana in the proper way once, i damage tanked her

Most confusing dlc boss

[gloomy cobalt]

Did anyone here fight bayle without igon

[umbral ether]

i don't think i have even fought bayle

[frozen sandal]

If someone didn't i hope they will get karma

[umbral ether]

also why were the summon signs in messmer's arena

[gloomy cobalt]

exactly

[frozen sandal]

Quests

[lone crown]

Yeah

[polar stag]

Found an old image of the character I made for SotE. He's who I intend to use when I do get back into the game

[frozen sandal]

Leda and allies pmo so much when i speedrunned the dlc

[gloomy cobalt]

screw you Igon deserves his place in that battle

[wet valley]

i admit usually when I play games I listen to other music but I dont think id have the GALL to do that with silksonf

[lone crown]

I didnt mean to at first

I wholly regretted my actions

[gloomy cobalt]

okay good

[umbral ether]

i don't know how i feel about tools requiring a curency to restock

[orchid locust]

have this man drawn and quartered in the town square

[lone crown]

Currency looks common and droppable by enemies anyway

For tools i mean, hopefully they arent expensive to repair

[umbral ether]

yeah

[polar stag]

Is it confirmed if they do require currency?

[lone crown]

Shell shards

[twin obsidian]

yeah seems like it would get annoying after a while

[umbral ether]

i think the red beads

[lone crown]

No red beads are something else

[umbral ether]

oh

[lone crown]

Shell shards are for tools

Btw not every enemy drops rosaries

But i think most if not all drop shell shards

Its thematic based on your area

[polar stag]

I honestly would rather tools replenish at a bench. Not a big deal but still

[umbral ether]

hopefully at some point you will jut have so much shell shards you don't run out

[umbral ether]

same

[polar stag]

Like Bloodborne blood vials

Just have a million of them stored away

[lone crown]

I think it’ll function like Sekiros prosthetic tools, shell shards mimicking those Spirit Emblems which cap at 20 held but you can carry more in your inventory

Thats my theory at least

[umbral ether]

ive never played sekiro

[polar stag]

Yeah that's basically how the blood vials in Bloodborne work too

[orchid locust]

what game are we talking about now

[cunning geode]

it’s about monkeys

[frozen sandal]

Fromsoftware games

[polar stag]

You have a max you can carry then the rest go to storage

[umbral ether]

also the grass in demon souls work similar to bloodbornes blood vials

[lone crown]

Really? I thought you could hold a large amount of grass in demon souls

[umbral ether]

i have no clue tbh

[lone crown]

Oh wait you meant the actual way to accrue them

Yeah its finite like blood vials

[polar stag]

I think they changed it in the Remake

Haven't played it tho

[lone crown]

Makes sense, i only played the remake

[umbral ether]

i have not played the remake

[orchid locust]

which fromsoft game has shell shards

[umbral ether]

i only own a ps3 not any other playstations

[lone crown]

We are also discussing silksong

[orchid locust]

oh so it’s like a multifaceted discussion

[lone crown]

Like comparing how shell shards and its distribution might behave

[orchid locust]

i ain’t even know about the silksong shell shard mechanic

will shell shards be the primary currency like geo or a separate thing

[lone crown]

Oh so basically you can sit at a bench and repair your tools to replenish them

[umbral ether]

it is how you regain tool uses

[lone crown]

Silksong has two “currencies”

[ashen cobalt]

the silkbloods

[lone crown]

Rosaries are the main way to spend at shops and whatnot, shell shards are for personal use

[lament coyote]

I haven't fought him at all

[umbral ether]

i completely forgot about duskbloods

[wet valley]

are yall gonna grind out the game to the final boss day 1 to avoid spoilers or take your time while turning off socials????

im def gonna take my time with it

[umbral ether]

im just gonna play the game and enjoy it?

[lone crown]

Turning off socials, i did not wait for over five years to blaze through it in one day

[umbral ether]

why would i want to speedrun it day 1

[pallid plinth]

so you can move on

[umbral ether]

why the hell would i want to move on form silksong i have waited 5 years for this

[lone crown]

Although it might happen to me anyway if its addicting

Me when blasphemous 2 occupied me for over 16 hours at launch

[wet valley]

idk some people like doing that

[orchid locust]

so it’s like any rpg where you repair tools with materials

[wet valley]

i personally dont but i know people who do

[barren sequoia]

Why play the game? Just watch profasia gaming

[lone crown]

https://tenor.com/view/judomaster-hbo-peacemaker-peacemaker-gif-24801742

[umbral ether]

why watch profasia gaming when you can play the game

[lament coyote]

Who even is-

[wet valley]

silksong all yummies

[barren sequoia]

Whyd the man get hit by a semitruck

[orchid locust]

i’m going to get silksong on sale a year after it comes out and then spend 4 months on the first playthrough

[wet valley]

https://tenor.com/view/jjk-jjk-memes-jjkpp-jjk-meme-gojo-gif-13166239794568797843

[barren sequoia]

If only the radbrad would play silksong

[umbral ether]

i don't remeber this from the anime

[lone crown]

On everyone’s souls i will beat silksong blindfolded

[umbral ether]

not the words the actual animation

[rocky flicker]

Can’t wait to not play silksong and watch primagoats let’s play

[lone crown]

On my blind playthrough. Literally

[umbral ether]

has he even played hollow knight

[rocky flicker]

Who cares

[polar stag]

Bruh Silksong is one of those games I want to stick in my mind. I'm gonna explore every inch of Pharloom

[barren sequoia]

Going to be the first person to successfully do a nuzlocke for silksong

[lone crown]

Silksong will occupy the next four years of my life doing challenge runs and modding

[rocky flicker]

I’m gonna get through the first few rooms get bored of the aesthetic and leave (20% of hollow knight players never got their first charm)

[umbral ether]

really?

[orchid locust]

May the souls of thee and thy whole bloodline presently and henceforth face damnation before Anbuis shalt thou NOT beat Silksong blindfolded.

[umbral ether]

isn't fury in the very first area

[wet valley]

i genuienly dont know what im gonna do when I finish the game like ill be in such a state

[rocky flicker]

Idk I can’t remember the exact amount but u can see on steam the amount is scary high

[rocky flicker]

It’s easily missable

[umbral ether]

true

[rocky flicker]

Ppl probably just died to false knight and dipped lol

[umbral ether]

skill issue

[wet valley]

im gonna speedrun the game and post screenshots of the final boss in the discord and subreddit /j

[rocky flicker]

That but with no tone indicator

[gloomy cobalt]

yeah but you have to pogo for it

[ashen cobalt]

22 hours on false knight

[lone crown]

https://tenor.com/view/jump-court-judge-guy-jumps-at-judge-gif-9613705583079166307

[orchid locust]

while you’re at it can you speedrun the game and post the entire hornet lace cutscene

[rocky flicker]

Yeah lol 75.5% of people on steam got their first charm

24.5% never got a charm

[lone crown]

Whats the % of people on steam who beat false knight again

[rocky flicker]

69.8% beat false knight

[wet valley]

besides silksong theres whispers of a bioshock sequel which is DOPE

[ashen cobalt]

maybe they just beat the game without finding any

[lone crown]

On god you’re baiting

[rocky flicker]

60.9% beat hornet which is absolutely needed for completion

That’s really funny

[umbral ether]

we are not getting a new bioshock game didn' the company who made those games go away or something

[wet valley]

possibly, but the creator of it made another studio

[lone crown]

Tbf hollow knight’s early game isnt exciting for everyone

[wet valley]

i have hope

[lone crown]

I think around city of tears is when it starts to kick off in people’s brains

It certainly did for me

City of Tears was like oh yeah this game might be something

[ashen cobalt]

it's literally the guy digging for diamonds

[rocky flicker]

But man

40% never beat hornet

[umbral ether]

more people killed herrah then the other dreamers

[orchid locust]

i’ve seen a lot of people say that they only got into the game once they reached greenpath; i imagine many quit before greenpath and thereby didn’t beat hornet

[lone crown]

I cant say the same for silksong though cause holy fuck moss grotto looks amazing

[rocky flicker]

Yeah I get that but FORTY PERCENT?

[wet valley]

i remember thinking the forgotten crossroads was the prologue and you needed to find the key to confesser jiji to move on, it wasnt until I got to the city that i realized that it might just be the rest of the game LOL

[rocky flicker]

I mean technically not wrong u just go down instead of right

[wet valley]

i mean yeah but I thought the door led to the rest of the game

[lone crown]

Nightreign has a higher percentage of people killing four different nightlords compared to Hornet which is kinda crazy

[gloomy cobalt]

Different playerbases though

[trim estuary]

12 year old me entering City of Tears was like "Woag..." and I think I just sat there listening to the music for a little bit

[lone crown]

Yeah

[orchid locust]

does the achievement % count everyone who’s bought the game or only people who’ve opened it at least once

[lone crown]

Im not actually sure

[charred flare]

Prepare the clown costume

[rocky flicker]

How would u open the game without buying it

[polar stag]

Sitting on that bench with Quirrel before the City of Tears was the first big "I love this game" moment for me

[mortal bluff]

Do we think the demo will be made public?

[rocky flicker]

It’s not like they had a free weekend lol

[orchid locust]

no i mean like people who buy it then it sits in their library with 0 hours played

[digital junco]

wait a minute...people will be playing the closest version to the final silksong through those demos...and it wont be me..

[lone crown]

That and when the music kicks in when you take the elevator down outside

[rocky flicker]

Do people do that

[umbral ether]

[rocky flicker]

Surely that’s a minuscule amount of people

[mortal bluff]

Demo gameplay tomorrow or the 20th?

[charred flare]

yes it's public
it's prepare the stand

[dusk pilot]

As of yet the only knowledge is that the demo is at gamescom

[lone crown]

Many people collect steam games i think

[orchid locust]

steam library backlog is a pretty large phenomenon

[trim estuary]

Absolutely not

[lone crown]

But idk im terminally online maybe people dont do it that commonly

[rocky flicker]

That’s the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard

[polar stag]

Entering the City of Tears was breathtaking

[lone crown]

Will get datamined to death

[rocky flicker]

I don’t think that’s a real thing

[wet valley]

honestly I really dont think the demo will be on steam or anywhere

[rocky flicker]

It can’t be

I’d rather spend money on gacha games than on a fucking steam game collection

[lone crown]

Silksong datamine will leak King Zanzibart and The Resonance

[lone crown]

Yeah i know

[dusk pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/dante-dante-devil-may-cry-devil-may-cry5-hello-hello-based-department-gif-26042779

[cerulean sable]

LISONGGGG

SILKGAIBBBBBBBBBB

[digital junco]

u will never catch me spending money on a game to do absolutely nothing with it 😭 what in the rich

[polar stag]

Another thing I loved was the atmosphere in the Royal Waterways strangely enough. I actually love how creepy and gross that place felt, and the enemies just made it better

[lone crown]

But ive seen even people irl deliberately have tons of games they have never touched

[orchid locust]

js look up “steam backlog”, it’s less of collecting games and more of people instinct buying during sales and never getting around to playing

[smoky grove]

first we SILK then we SONG

[trim estuary]

someone send that one dune silksong image someone made

[sharp agate]

I hope Leth doesnt get kidnapped

[polar stag]

Anyone else have Royal Waterways as one of their fav areas in terms of atmosphere?

[rocky flicker]

Most people don’t deserve money

[lone crown]

We are officially less than 12 hours away from the Reckoning

[dusk pilot]

He won't he is a proper cowboy

[cerulean sable]

i like sewer levels

probs not in real life

theyd probably smell bad

[rocky flicker]

If it wasn’t for the eternally choking guys maybe

[cerulean sable]

but apparently Royal Waterways didnt

[lone crown]

Cant wait for the pretty swamp area in silksong

The one with the elevator and the pale-ish plants and water bugs

[rocky flicker]

No I found it gross

[cerulean sable]

because the dead pop + constant flowing water cleaned the sewers up

[digital junco]

true im not most people tho i think i deserve a significant sum of money right now

[dusk pilot]

Also the knight didn't have a nose

[polar stag]

They were one of my favorite things about it. I love how creepy they were and their designs

[rocky flicker]

I didn’t find it creepy the area was just really gross

[trim estuary]

same the flukes are so fun

[rocky flicker]

I liked the little hopping guys

[cerulean sable]

i dont know where

[rocky flicker]

And I did like how the flukes played the split was really neat

[cerulean sable]

also going silent til the event, mass ping me for extra hope news please

it is time for met o work

[polar stag]

The hoppers in I think Kingdom's Edge?

[rocky flicker]

Nah the guys with a dumb name in waterways

That when you hit them they flip

[lone crown]

This area will absolutely be “the filthy area” of the game

[polar stag]

I was gonna say the hoppers in Kingdom's Edge I hated

[lone crown]

This and probably the rickety crawbug place maybe not too far from here

[dusk pilot]

The lace area will be worse

[trim estuary]

assjim

[polar stag]

This is gonna be great

[rocky flicker]

The flowers?

[dusk pilot]

Dw about it

[lone crown]

I cant wait to see the area we literally have not seen since fucking 2019

[dusk pilot]

Or the new fucking areas

[vagrant onyx]

10hours more to go

[lone crown]

The barnacle area

[digital junco]

all that posing to dodge a dirty water baloon

[rocky flicker]

All of them?

[dusk pilot]

11 30

[polar stag]

The maggots on the floor and the green, foggy hue over everything

Peak

[ashen cobalt]

hornet stop aura farming

[lone crown]

I already know they’re hiding some fire stuff in there if they’re not showing it

Let hornet go on the boat please

[vagrant onyx]

10hour 30mins only

[dusk pilot]

They are hiding it for the silksong dlc

[wet valley]

most thing im excited for silksong? new mossbag videos obviously...

[lone crown]

Let us ride this

[trim estuary]

We are Stizzl fans in this household

[viscid wind]

yuc k!

[lone crown]

Let us go fishing in barnacle town

[ashen cobalt]

I can't wait for more among us jokes

[polar stag]

I love oppressively gross or creepy areas you have to desperately claw your way out of to escape. Deepnest is another obvious one

[lone crown]

Silk fishing SILK FISHING.

[pallid plinth]

Hornet: Don't tap the glass

[carmine island]

Girl fail lace hc?

[trim estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/undertale-yellow-martlet-book-boat-clover-gif-299825590289155749

[lone crown]

You reminded me of the fact we’ll have dynamic events where we’re escaping something

[trim estuary]

lace has the messiest room known to bugkind

[lone crown]

Like the lava rising bit

[carmine island]

Hornet can fix her

[dusk pilot]

Word salad hi muffin

[rocky flicker]

I don’t care about anything other than combo and grab attacks that we can get caught in that do a bunch of damage

[carmine island]

Hi

[dusk pilot]

Hyd

[lone crown]

Place your bets before the game releases
Lacenet Yay or Lacenet Nay?

[carmine island]

Yay

[lone crown]

Yay

[rocky flicker]

Yay but lace dies

[carmine island]

Good you?

[dusk pilot]

Yay but both dies

[trim estuary]

I WANT to say Yay but I just don't think it's going to happen 😔

[carmine island]

Doomed lacenet

[rocky flicker]

Nay but they get married

[dusk pilot]

Good

[carmine island]

Then say yay

[lone crown]

Remember hornet has a personality unlike the knight

They can do whatever they want

[digital junco]

hornet talking will actually make the big difference from the knight in that if she tells someone shes gonna kick their ass i cant let her down and fumble so i have to extra lock in

[polar stag]

I'm not sure how I feel about those yet. Timed escape bits or chases are hit or miss for me. I liked running from the hotel owner guy in Celeste

[carmine island]

It’s ok we can mod lacenet in

[rocky flicker]

Fym ❌

[dusk pilot]

The knight has personality and that personality is mass murder

[lone crown]

Wait not true the knight has a personality but its less obvious

[dusk pilot]

Oh that's a mod

[lone crown]

Since it’s technically not hollow

[rocky flicker]

Lore in my ss discussion yuck

[lone crown]

No vessel is

[rocky flicker]

SHUT UP

[trim estuary]

Yea it's like Frisk in UNDERTALE

[carmine island]

Not the bad kind

[lone crown]

Maggot is Hegemol

[rocky flicker]

Ok well that one’s just true

[trim estuary]

Duuude we should have in-depth discussion about hollowness...

[digital junco]

frisk has the extremely important trait of fucking hating soda

[rocky flicker]

And also flirts with everyone

[carmine island]

No

[wet valley]

dude what if hornet rips her soul out and puts it in a cage

[dusk pilot]

They do like house chores together and go shopping a wholesome slice of life

[carmine island]

True!!!

[barren sequoia]

Why the fuck would she do that

[digital junco]

hornet was in the prophecy the whole time
