HK has millions more copies sold, I'm not too sure about niche

[warped night]

cultural impact tho

[fiery frigate]

Buy it on switch

[silver oak]

niche is not a word you can use to describe HK in any sense

[rich haven]

Nosiree, steam is a much more permanent medium

[fiery frigate]

The humble mastercard and visa;

[warped night]

nah HK is niche in the overall game scope, in metroidvanias it’s one of the bigs

[rich haven]

I'm buying it with steam wallet money to try to avoid some of the technical difficulties

[kind ermine]

Hollow knight was niche 8 years ago

[grim loom]

Wanna fight her so baaaad😭😭

[silver oak]

It’s the most wishlisted game on steam 😭

[nocturne tusk]

weird hill to die on imo

[silver oak]

Been that way for years

[rich haven]

I don't like telling people they're wrong on the internet, but...

[kind ermine]

5 million wishlists for the bug game literally surpasses the second most wishlisted by like 2.5m

[warped night]

it’s okay you can tell me that i’m wrong

[fiery frigate]

Wasnt karlson in the top 10 at some point? I still think that was niche

[runic adder]

I had multiple friends from outside the community message me out of nowhere about the Silksong announcement, including one friend from back in high school I haven't been in contact with for a while

[serene chasm]

Will be interesting to see how well Silksong holds its player base. Like deltarune launches with over 100k players and now a few months later is floating around 4000 active players

[runic adder]

So in other words I don't think it's all that niche

[silver oak]

it still feels unreal to say that you’ll be able to in 12 days

[kind ermine]

I think we all are

[rich haven]

I thought about doing that, but I'm too socially fragile to dare attempt to talk to people about something that may not interest them

[warped night]

idk i guess ive just never heard someone talk about HK without actively searching for a HK fan. But Undertale people be yapping about all the time

[flat edge]

deltarune you play it once and you never touch it again

hollow knight has 50 hours of content while deltarune has barely 10

[fiery frigate]

I haven’t even had a single person talk to me abt Silksong and I only know two people who would be likely to know about it in my entire year

[rich haven]

Not for long...

[next torrent]

Yea just imagining silksong on a monitor and beeing able to play it sounds absurd

[rich haven]

Also hollow knight has a distinct lack of spamtong

[silver oak]

it will feel unreal up until release and then it will still feel unreal

[idle bone]

everyone

[warped night]

not obsessing over Silksong has honestly made the wait for Silksong so much more bearable

[kind ermine]

They're both single player story games

I think silksong is gonna have more concurrent players for longer tho since it's a metroidvania and not a set story like DT

[silver oak]

simply does not compute

[rich haven]

I feel realer then ever

[brittle garnet]

12 god damn days

[warped night]

like you are all acting like it’s a fever dream and i’m just like “cool, sequel”

[next torrent]

God has not made our brains strong enough

[dusk pilot]

Silksong will never feel real

[atomic sparrow]

silksong is

[fiery frigate]

Waiting for Silksong gave us unity, getting it will feel unreal. This truly is a Godot

[atomic sparrow]

silksong

[rich haven]

I might've been fever dreaming for it, if mina the hollower hadn't stolen 50% of my hype for itself

[brittle otter]

given how anticipated the game is, it will most definitely peak insanely high and quickly drop to a fraction of that number in concurrent players

[red zealot]

Oh she’s the ant boss? Sick

[grim loom]

Yep

[warped umbra]

damn this screenshot looks so much less polished now

[rich haven]

I love that it's tied together the source of this community

[kind ermine]

I'm gonna hook up the switch to the living room tv its gonna be insane

[runic adder]

Need to look like that so bad

[opaque sigil]

that's how most single player games go

[warped night]

swing and a miss 😭

[grim loom]

It’s from the first trailer in 2019

[wraith coral]

This the real ant boss

[warped night]

https://tenor.com/view/fail-air-ball-dunk-gif-20311686

oh let me clarify i mean the game looks so much more polished now

[red zealot]

Even better 👀

[warped night]

https://tenor.com/view/hx-h-hunter-x-hunter-meruem-gif-25742816

real ones know THIS is the real ant boss

[cedar bluff]

bro isnt even an ant

[rich haven]

I'm gonna hook a steam deck up to the living room TV it's gonna be insane

[red zealot]

EVEN BETTER

[warped night]

get that mid leveling outta here

[next torrent]

God i wouldnt have known who he is until a month ago

[next torrent]

Hes literally the ant king fym

[warped night]

are you the fool

[brittle otter]

yeah but I think that effect is greatly increased for games with more hype

[fiery frigate]

Honestly I’m more excited about the “arenas”
Like, in Hollow Knight, rooms with platforms where you’re locked in with waves of enemies was an extremely small part of the game (like one room in crossroads and the colosseum)
But in Silksong it looks like it’ll be a much more major part of the game (judging by how many we see in trailers), which look really fun with all the combat options Hornet has

[rich haven]

I can't send gifs yet but pretend I said "what about THIS ant boss" accompanied by a gif of Mr (Ant) Tenna dancing

[warped night]

are you of the fool genum?

do you consist of the fool disease?

[opaque sigil]

they have more people play them at launch so the dropoff is more significant sure

[cedar bluff]

erm no

[wraith coral]

Yall ever just look outside to your yard and be like…hollow knight is totally taking place within that 3 meter patch of grass over there

[flat edge]

hollow knight still averages like 5k concurrent

[kind ermine]

Wish I could just magically trade my switch for a steam deck it's just better I think but I'm gonna be playing on pc too

[tall gulch]

Literally who cares about concurrent player count if the game is single player, that doesn't matter one bit

[fiery frigate]

Tbh I think beast tamer probably came from pharloom seeing as there are no other ants in hallownest

[warped night]

yeah but then zelda

[runic adder]

No because I am thankfully not Australian

[cedar bluff]

when did ss-discussion become an anime discussion

[next torrent]

Suddenly the grass grows dark and that darkness grows and suddenly god appears

[opaque sigil]

hk is a weird case because its popularity came almost entirely after release

[brittle otter]

I like seeing the numbers go up or down

[fiery frigate]

“I AINT LIKE THE REST OF YALL 🐟” aaah ant

[red zealot]

Either that or their a common species being an ant and all

[fiery frigate]

Isn’t the beast tamer from the colosseum of fools an ant?

[warped night]

ant

[kind ermine]

Small price to pay

[brittle otter]

like payday 2 dropping to 2 players in two days

I mean payday 3

[cedar bluff]

i see

[rain sage]

how's the silksong wait coming

[warped night]

i mean fair. TUNIC ruined Zelda for me and then Outer Wilds ruined games for me

[opaque sigil]

no

[fiery frigate]

Yeah but they live in colonies, and there’s literally only one ant in there, which kinda implies that they left wherever they came from

[rich haven]

I'm looking forward to more Stage Involvement with bosses in Silksong, in hk I was really hoping false knight would have a second phase after breaking the floor, and radiance's transition to its second phase is one of my favorite moments in the game. Nothing cooler than tearing down a wall or breaking through a floor or spawning in platforms to gain a strategic advantage.

[river ivy]

this looks like a Colosseum of fools to me

[red zealot]

True

[brittle otter]

what is tunic?

[tall gulch]

This is a good point, cuphead does this really well with it's bosses

[opaque sigil]

god tamer isn't an ant, if anything she's a cockroach

[wraith coral]

Was there a termite queen in the first game

[red zealot]

Btw where did you find this

[rich haven]

Thankfully no

[next torrent]

No

[grim loom]

First Trailer

[cedar bluff]

ant>termite

[warped night]

it’s a Zelda 1 love letter and it’s phenomenal, if you like figuring things out on your own with very little guidance while exploring you’ll LOVE tunic

[wraith coral]

Because termite queen would be a great boss.

[fiery frigate]

I’m more so talking about the multi waved ennemy encounters, like that one combat room in the deep docks with all the enemies, there seems like there’ll be a lot more of those in SS

[grim loom]

me too

[runic adder]

Both are beautiful creatures

[cedar bluff]

ok.

[red zealot]

Oh sick

[warped night]

TUNIC is the first game that made me have a notebook out while playing and I love it

[rich haven]

I'd like to apologize for slandering the termite name

[unreal thicket]

She's ladybug

[warped night]

it’s a metroidvania with light souls combat

[serene chasm]

Tunic is so good

[runic adder]

How can you hate termites when they make those badass fucking mounds like that's cool as fuck

[warped night]

and has the coolest puzzle in any video game ever

[fiery frigate]

They create and they destroy

[warped night]

like, watered down souls combat. sorry i meant lite

[rich haven]

It's dark souls but you can see

[unreal thicket]

Antlions village in Silksong ! 🗣️

[runic adder]

As do you

[cedar bluff]

prob the opposite of dark souls

[opaque sigil]

aren't they like as hard as concrete

[fiery frigate]

Nah I do neither I procrastinate

[runic adder]

Pretty sure

[tall gulch]

Oh that, i thought you meant like, how arenas will change/morph over the course of a bossfight

Anyways yeah excited about combat encounters too

[red zealot]

I really hope the ants are like the strongest possible bugs physically in pharloom

[wanton sky]

Probably means that it loosely borrows things from the souls series

[opaque sigil]

crazy

[unreal thicket]

I hope will be war between ants and antlions

[cedar bluff]

ants are neat

[atomic magnet]

Yay! War!!!!

[hybrid forge]

Wouldn’t mind if the ant looking guys in Silksong were actually termites. Entire section of the map could be built by them like the Hive

[jolly silo]

Feel like that should be called a Souls-lite

[trim grail]

nintendo eshop still not updating?

[cedar bluff]

bro what

[rich haven]

Who is this nerd

[warped night]

sorta, soulslikes i think of games like Lies of P. TUNIC just has a dodge roll and a much less punishing but similar death mechanic lmao

[unreal thicket]

We have cockroach in Silksong : mining enemy in Greymoor in Xbox trailer

[rough bone]

Silksong in 2 weeks

[red zealot]

It could still work if they were ants tbh

[cedar bluff]

stop the anime

[warped night]

never played

[rich haven]

Dead cells isn't a soulslike it just has a dodge roll

[fiery frigate]

Also excited about the quality of the bosses
Because yeah, there were 35 bosses in hollow knight, but they included ones like:
-Massive moss charger
-The soul underling (not the soul tyrant, the smaller guy)
-The two big balls in the colosseum of fools
I don’t think we’ll be seeing lame-os like those in the 40+ bosses

[hybrid forge]

True. It’s just termites are kinda more famous for building giant colonies, like in Africa where they’re the size of people.

[opaque sigil]

soulslike is when you fight things and there are bosses and you can die

[warped night]

[cedar bluff]

i watched this its peak

[rich haven]

Moss mother also looks way cooler than gruz mother already, and I assume she's the simplest boss

[runic adder]

Random idea that's probably not real but what if Nuu has aspirations of channeling magic like the snail shamans, which is why she carries that shell shaped backpack around

[unreal thicket]

Same shit with enemies, BUT. 100 enemies in HK ( without dlc ), and 200 enemies in Silksong

[red zealot]

Didn’t know that sounds dope a personal thing I want is the ants to be the strongest bugs physically

[idle bone]

soulslike is when ur intended to die to learn things u cant learn any other way

[cedar bluff]

I WATCHED THAT TOO ITS SO PEAK

[distant socket]

hornets monarch wings in the trailer look so silly :)

[unreal thicket]

1 ant can pick up 50 ants weight

[rich haven]

There should be a mantis shrimp boss with an over the top instakill move

[elfin otter]

Almost

[rich haven]

He's finally figured it out

[warped night]

bro watched Project Power

[opaque sigil]

I've been saying there should be a mantis shrimp boss for years

[fiery frigate]

Exactly why I’m so hyped about the multi-waved ennemy encounters, because not only will they be long and developed, the enemies will be so much more complex and interesting

[runic adder]

Mantis shrimps are one of my favorite animals I'd love them in Silksong

[red zealot]

I mean crustaceans are aquatic bugs so I’d be down to see it

[fiery frigate]

Probably in the coral caves

[hybrid forge]

An ant mini-boss is just a regular ant dude hucking boulders twice as big as him across the room

[unreal thicket]

Enemies in Silksong have different attacks!

[opaque sigil]

there should also be pistol shrimps somewhere

[restive garden]

-# they would be hellish to fight

[red zealot]

I need it

[warped night]

Silksong should have the Blood Kelp Zone

[unreal thicket]

Prediction : antlions areas in Silksong

[fiery frigate]

Dung defender with bigger dungs

[rich haven]

Texan trickshot style, a ton of flourishing, a long charge time, maybe a smug chuckle, a ding and then a BANG

[cedar bluff]

no.

[runic adder]

There should be a tully monster boss/enemy/NPC in Silksong tbh

[hybrid forge]

You get it

[restive garden]

-# I took that day off just to play tbh

[rich haven]

Spore lookin

[fiery frigate]

The dung that takes 80% of the screen

[red zealot]

I still have class 😭

[restive garden]

[distant socket]

the next game we’re gonna wait for is gonna be Hollow Knight: Silksong: Laced

[cedar bluff]

[runic adder]

We don't even know if the tully monster was a vertebrate, invertebrate, or something in between btw

[red zealot]

Nah quirell dlc would be better

[brittle garnet]

I love how the tully monster has such a goofy name. You would expect the scientific name to be something more scientific sound but WRONG! Its Tullimonstrum

[rich haven]

Looks vertebrate to me, but I know nothing about biology

[hybrid forge]

A top down exploration game where you just sail around on a giant lake

[restive garden]

Play it during lunch?

[distant socket]

didnt he die?

[warped night]

Hollow Knight: PalpatineHollow Knight Returns

[hybrid forge]

Vertebrate means it has a spine. Invertebrate means its boneless

[red zealot]

I’ll play it when I get home fs

[rich haven]

Well I know that, Im just not a scientist

I'd say I'm well versed in most topics besides geography and programming

Yeah

[restive garden]

Technically yes

[runic adder]

Scientists lean towards that rn iirc but it keeps flip flopping, there's possibly the presence of a notochord but we don't know

[warped night]

https://tenor.com/view/cookies-gif-429077199522100367

pharloom's bugs cant be boneless bc they drop boneshards

Hollow knight: Zoat’s breakfast Boat

It takes special criteria to have proper bones

[heady iron]

And bugs don't got it

[rapid abyss]

Hey can you guys tell me something

[elfin quiver]

I am thinking about what dlc they could add. One thing that comes to mind is a grim troupe sequel.

[rich haven]

Anything my man

[cedar bluff]

[rapid abyss]

Is this funny

[iron nexus]

Godhome 2

[red zealot]

Void dlc if we don’t have void in the base game

[distant socket]

sly gameplay 😎

[rich haven]

Dryly amusing, yeah

[warped night]

Zote lives in a castle with a moat, and the only way to cross is by boat. It’s Zote’s moat boat

[latent python]

I didn't even started godhome 1

[distant socket]

the goal is to teach nail arts to ppl

[unreal thicket]

Dustroaches ( cockroaches of this game )

[latent python]

[cedar bluff]

zote votes for his boat to cross the moat

[runic adder]

They should hiss at you

[warped night]

you ever seen a cockroach hiss?

[runic adder]

Love madagascar hissing cockroaches, had one on my arm once and it was fun

[rich haven]

Does he gloat as he floats in his moat boat?

[warped night]

oh that’s an actual thing?

[runic adder]

Yep

[warped night]

he would 😂

[cedar bluff]

ok so

[wraith coral]

I’ve seen a beetle shit nitroglycerin

[runic adder]

Zote forklift when

[cedar bluff]

zote gloats that he votes for his boat to cross the moat

[hybrid forge]

The bombadear beetle?

[rich haven]

When do we get Silksong forklift dlc

[cedar bluff]

forklift certification

[warped night]

bombardier beetles are super cool

[runic adder]

There is one ant where some have these bigass heads they use as doors, animals can be so cool

[rigid quail]

I know this might be a stupid question but do we know when we can actually buy the game?

[rich haven]

"so we were planning on making the forklift a playable character, but it turns out the forklift is just too big to fit in the world of Silksong! So we're proud to announce our next game, Hollow Knight: Storelifter!"

[warped night]

the 4th

[cedar bluff]

of september

[idle bone]

for a place called ss discussion
im seeing a lot of none ss things

[rich haven]

You must be new here

[warped night]

ah i thought it was august

Zote works at a department store

[cedar bluff]

bro let team cherry relax they just finished being in development heaven

[hybrid forge]

The end of the game is just him getting carried away by the Vengfly

[warped night]

development heaven? lmao

[unreal thicket]

Same area 😱 😱 😱

[warped night]

they just set a deadline. deadlines are a devs worst nightmare

[tall gulch]

Silksong dlc where hornet brings a vessel to pharloom to do.. something

[cedar bluff]

yea bc they had fun making the game

[warped night]

suuureeee they did

[rich haven]

Literally, they were having so much fun making the game they didn't think to release it

[warped night]

ain’t nothing fun about game dev (/s i love it)

[cedar bluff]

[rich haven]

Someone send this man the interview

[warped night]

i was joking lol

i’m being sour about game dev because it ain’t as pretty as people think

[earnest solar]

silksong dlc where hornet meets zote but the dlc grows to such a big size where it has to be its own game

[idle bone]

no im not
i expected this

[warped night]

it’s actually 90% fixing bugs you have no idea the origin of and 10% fun coding

[rich haven]

Expect for team cherry, where it was exactly as pretty

[runic adder]

Tried to get into it for a bit and it's hard yeah

Really want to make a game someday though, just gotta push through and learn all the shit for it

[cedar bluff]

imagine silksong mods

[tall gulch]

Silksong randomiser

[austere cloud]

Mr when skomg

[rich haven]

Just find someone unimaginative who's good at coding and be a designer for them

[warped night]

yeah just keep at it. it’s intimidating having to learn like, all of Godot. but it’s worth it. I’m still trying to learn

[rich haven]

We are specialists you know

[cedar bluff]

[runic adder]

Yeah I was doing it in Godot too

[warped night]

yup, dev teams are good

[unreal thicket]

Oh, its a town, and a lake itself is small

[primal tartan]

silksong yesterday

[cedar bluff]

naw

[dreamy panther]

That's precisely what I'm doing lmao I'm on design for items, backgrounds and character movement on a game I'm developing with a bunch of friends, I haven't gotta touch a single line of code

[rich haven]

I was hoping it would turn into "a true skonger doesn't need to see silkpost"

[hybrid forge]

I can’t wait for when people are going to be making Silksong videos for Ultrakill level movement tech

[warped night]

guys what do you think is more hype: Silksong, or a cold glass/bottle of water after a workout?

[cedar bluff]

i thought when the stick bug stopped dancing his limbs would be chopped off like tenna's

[runic adder]

The idea I had was like a reverse dungeon crawler, where you have a bunch of monsters defending the dungeon from adventurers. But then also it's part sapphic dating simulator too where you get to date the monsters

[rich haven]

I'll thirst for Silksong

In more ways than one

[dreamy panther]

How about playing silksong while drinking the 1°c water after a workout and a cold shower

[cedar bluff]

SILKSONG IS REAL

[trail zodiac]

Hr nightmare: employee dating

[warped night]

sounds fire minus the cold shower, i will be hot as hell and still hot shower

[rich haven]

Undertale style, you can either fight a monster or date them

[dreamy panther]

Nah I can't be doing that, I'm the opposite with no warm showers no matter how cold it is

[cedar bluff]

undertale is peak tho

[warped night]

alright guys what is more hype, Silksong, or putting USB-A in correctly the first try

[unreal thicket]

Silksong can be just an item, like voidheart

[cedar bluff]

deltarune is peaker

[rich haven]

I do like maintaining my body temperature

[runic adder]

No you don't fight the monsters, you fight the adventurers

[cedar bluff]

silksong is peakest

[dreamy panther]

Unrealistic, the second one never happens

[primal horizon]

This is most likely the case yup

[cedar bluff]

djsgfiksifujbgsdjfgdfkg

[rich haven]

Oooh, so you recruit attractive monsters to subdue the adventures to defend the dungeon, got it.

[runic adder]

Mhm

[warped night]

why do the monsters have to be attractive?

[cedar bluff]

dude silksong mods will be so c00l

[primal horizon]

Anyways that’s BORRIIIINNGGG let’s talk about the correlation with the relics

[rich haven]

So they can date the adventurers

[runic adder]

It is pretty weird to me how little the idea of a reverse dungeon crawler has been done though

[restive garden]

...wait are the fleas gonna have the same scenario as the grubs?

[warped night]

Slay the Spire: Downfall

[opaque sigil]

I've seen it a few times but yeah kinda

[warped night]

but yeah pretty niche

[restive garden]

She held the internet hostage for a good while

[runic adder]

Yeah I have seen it a few times too, but not many

[rich haven]

You could do it like bowsers minions, giving orders to your goons on a per-room basis

[primal horizon]

Bone scroll is a journal written in Song, choral commandment is the symbol of pharloom, Weavers are the leaders of pharloom, and arcane egg is, really really really interesting

[hardy stag]

h

[haughty pagoda]

Silksong!!!!!!

[rich haven]

So true

[runic adder]

Feels like a pretty obvious idea and a great avenue for some anti colonial messaging

[dreamy panther]

Wise words

colonialism proves that some people REALLY struggle with the concept of consent

[opaque sigil]

I remember a card game where you build a dungeon called boss monster, I think that was fun but it's been a while

[hybrid forge]

I think it’s almost impossible for people Not to know that since the trailer dropped. It was a server wide announcement I think?

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gif-13074825429999900101

[rich haven]

As a direct descendant of the sinixt tribe, that seems unnecessary

[normal jacinth]

i just started playing hollow knight about a week ago, at radiant rn
am i too late to play silksong?

[cedar bluff]

that would be me once silksong releases

[normal token]

Hey guys when does silksong release?

[cedar bluff]

4th september

[warped night]

as a direct descendant of the white people tribe, this seems unnecessary

[runic adder]

How so?

[heady atlas]

i thought that the trailer would have more views by now

[opaque sigil]

shit doesn't have to be necessary to be worth doing

[glossy berry]

the harvest is bountiful

[normal token]

No, you're just in time infact

[rich haven]

Y'know maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, just don't make it too forced or artificial

[cunning geode]

multiple millions of views isn't enough for ya?

[opaque sigil]

it's like perfectly at home in the context of a reverse dungeon crawler lmao

[warped night]

i think they just meant like, the game could be a metaphor for it haha

[cunning geode]

you'll be fine

[warped night]

i don’t think the dialogue would be like “See? This is how the natives felt!”

[rich haven]

While colonialism is "bad", its also necessary. Try to focus on the greed aspect rather than just moving in

[runic adder]

Well you could do it poorly for sure but that doesn't mean it's a bad idea

Wait what

[cunning geode]

barbie movie type quote

[glossy berry]

that's arguably perfect timing tbh

[runic adder]

Colonialism is not necessary at all wtf

[distant socket]

can hornet parry in ss?

[normal jacinth]

i heard of hollow knight before but it kinda scared me, but after beating nine sols i thought i could handle it
nothing could prepare me for the white palace traps 0.-

[rich haven]

There was no way the Americas WEREN'T going to be colonized, thats just impossible and idealistic

[hardy stag]

4 million views is barely any views

[unreal thicket]

The most interesting think, is that arcane eggs is resprited

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-gun-hollow-knight-hollow-knight-eyebrowns-gif-18404585

[heady atlas]

nah im talking views its sitting at around 3 mil

[cedar bluff]

me if silksong gets delayed once more:

[versed spire]

what did i walk into bro 💔
colonialism is only slightly "bad"?

[glossy berry]

you could totally 100% the game in like 12 days

[warped night]

inevitable does not mean the same as necessary lmao

[opaque sigil]

what does that have to do with anything?

[rich haven]

What's wrong is how it was DONE. This is a very important part of my heritage and I've put a lot of thought into it

[versed spire]

yeah i did so in a week

[glossy berry]

literally what the fuck are you talking about

[heady atlas]

is colonialism in skong

[rich haven]

Probably

[warped night]

the only thing colonialism was good for was proving that people suck

[heady atlas]

imagine hornet with a GUN

[distant socket]

can u parry in ss?

[cunning geode]

fascinating. necessary to what end, and for whom?

[rich haven]

I may have worded myself poorly, please note that I do not solicit the actions of any empires takeover of the Americas

[runic adder]

Colonialism is always bad. Like it's kinda bad to conquer peoples land and take their shit

[cedar bluff]

we have seen hornet with a gun several times

[warped night]

[versed spire]

hornet is gonna be exploiting indigenous people and land for profit 🤑

[glossy berry]

try tell us which side your family were likely to be on colonialism-wise without telling us

[cedar bluff]

guys what game should i play while waiting for skong

[cunning geode]

star of providence

[warped night]

religion and laws: stealing and killing is bad

Moon rock: “well now hold on just a minute”

[rich haven]

Well, my great grandmother is a active member of the sinixt tribe, she's 102, I recently went to the Yakama reservation to do volunteer work for the people in need there... The list goes on.

[hardy stag]

[distant socket]

hollow knight?

[versed spire]

theres this little known game its name is hollow knight

[hardy stag]

hi guys

[versed spire]

i quite enjoyed it

[cedar bluff]

im stoobid

[unreal thicket]

She already have a rocket launcher in the release trailer

[versed spire]

you might too

[cedar bluff]

lol

[frigid dagger]

hi stoobid

[rich haven]

Y'know it's silly for me to try to argue about such things in the Silksong discussion, that's veering to close to politics for my taste

[unreal thicket]

Hornet is devil, she's using rocket launcher against poor grasshoppers

[gusty mason]

They should add fishing to Silksong.

[opaque sigil]

you gotta think about how you're phrasing things way better I suspect you're really giving the wrong impression and unless you stop and read back that's probably only going to continue

[warped night]

Outer Wilds, Blue Prince, TUNIC, Disco Elysium

[rich haven]

This

[heady atlas]

im excited for the needolin

[rich haven]

Random Access Mayhem

[hardy stag]

U were already deep in politics

[glossy berry]

the channel is still offtopic til release its nothing new for this place

[versed spire]

eh atleast shes not bombing innocent civilian children

[glossy berry]

?tag info offtopic

[white sail]

#sk-discussion is allowed to be off topic due to the game not being out yet, and the amount of times that topics have been exhausted for it. However, if you have a topic that you'd like to discuss, say it and the channel should follow suit.

[gusty mason]

Actually add fishing to Hollow Knight too.

[hard apex]

I hope they have a place like the City of Tears in Silksong it was always my favorite area in the game

[heady iron]

human rights aren't politics or smth

[lusty gull]

Ori, nine sols

[rich haven]

I suppose, but I'd rather argue about such important things Somewhere Else.

[hardy stag]

Nope, she kills young vessels.

[runic adder]

Human rights unfortunately are a big part of politics

[warped night]

not colonialism

[keen ginkgo]

shrue

[rich haven]

Of course they are, that's what politics are for, it isn't unfortunate at all

[heady atlas]

im guessing thats ||greymore ||or prolly ||bellhart||

[heady iron]

interesting, that's not what I've heard from some

[tough ivy]

well they were already dead so is it really killing

[opaque sigil]

I am the only human and therefore nobody has rights but me solipsism is fun and lets you be very moral idk how to continue the bit further

[hard apex]

LET THERE BE AN AREA LIKE CITY OF TEARS THAT RAINS ALL THE TIME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!

[stoic sigil]

They should add heart attacks to Silksong

[runic adder]

Pretty much everything is connected to politics in some way, but politics directly interacts with the rights that humans have

[fading sandal]

that's impossible

[keen ginkgo]

isn’t it implied she killed a bunch of vessels to prevent them from getting kings brand

[tough ivy]

just look at what happens to Hornet in the first demo area those might just be heart attacks

[hard apex]

shut up I left you to die in Deepnest

[tall gulch]

No those are panic attacks

[keen ginkgo]

cause they wouldn’t be able to contain the infection

[hardy stag]

This is some propaganda a certain county makes up when found doing it.

[glossy berry]

neofascist movements are still fascist the same applies here what

[gusty mason]

There was a time that trading was just a thing and you didn't need money for everything

[heady iron]

sorry for getting political but why isn't anyone following me after I got 1700 likes on my latest tweet

[rich haven]

"YOU'RE KILLING ME! I THINK IM GONNA HAVE A [HeartAttack]"

[tough ivy]

no no no LOOK AT THE LORE THE LORE THE LORE

[fading sandal]

I am in the pantheon you fool

[versed spire]

true atleast they werent children tho and they chose to fight her

[rich haven]

Money is just trading with extra steps

[keen ginkgo]

.2% chance for hornet to trip on rocks

[hardy stag]

How are vessels already ded

[rich haven]

Liquid currency is important

[heady iron]

paying you in water

[tough ivy]

cause they were killed by the void before they were even born

[stoic sigil]

Deltarune reference spotted

[opaque sigil]

what?

[keen ginkgo]

and you gotta hit that tktlktktktkkktktkt with hornet’s spider legs

[runic adder]

I'll do it in lava on the other hand

[rich haven]

Breaking news: HK has themes of abortion

[hardy stag]

So they're living but ur saying their lives arent worth livnging?

[tough ivy]

no literally look at the lore idk how to explain it better LOL

[stoic sigil]

Silksong should be a RPGMaker horror game about depression

[woven stump]

when will the official price be announced? on sep 4th?

[gusty mason]

Now you have to go to work to get paid, then be exhausted only to use that money on food instead of liberties so instead of your work being rewarded you get to waste it all on needs and not fun and- life becomes a boring slog.

[fading sandal]

A mere mortal like you cannot even think of killing someone as mighty and grand as me

[keen ginkgo]

silksong combo videos

[full gazelle]

stop leaking please go to #sk-lore for spoilers

[supple sequoia]

chat do yall think silksong will win goty over e33?

[rich haven]

Blaming that on the existence of money is rather short-sighted

[tough ivy]

yes and you'll need a nanocomputer to run it

[gusty mason]

Okay that became too real

[stoic sigil]

That place is scary

[hardy stag]

So they aren't counscious and cannot think?

[tough ivy]

yes

[rich haven]

No mind to think

[full gazelle]

no i doubt it highly

[tall gulch]

If silksong is amazing then it's gonna be a coin flip i think

[keen ginkgo]

no brains to think

[fading sandal]

i as the great zote second that

[hardy stag]

So like an animal do you think killing animals for no reason like a dog is good?

[keen ginkgo]

they’re STUPID

[tall gulch]

But like, it would have to be insanely good

[keen ginkgo]

vessels can’t do long division

[supple sequoia]

I hold e33 in such high regard but I feel like silksong will also be good

[runic adder]

Animals can think

[hardy stag]

Idk the knight is pretty smart

[tough ivy]

yes apparently dogs are tasty /s

[tall gulch]

Like "somehow shatters 7 years of expectations" good

[runic adder]

Well a lot of animals can

[glossy berry]

those lines refer to an ideally "pure" vessel, of which none of them were

[supple sequoia]

I highly doubt silksong can eclipse e33 though

[keen ginkgo]

but can it do math

[supple sequoia]

for sure indie goty

[glossy berry]

vessel purity sucks ass though

[hardy stag]

I think it can do math pretty well

[nocturne tusk]

nine sols

[rich haven]

I still can't imagine there's a vessel that has full mental functions

[heady iron]

e33 should take indie goty that'd be pretty funny

[full gazelle]

don't get me wrong I think silksong will be incredible and possibly my favorite game of all time, but I think for the cultural impact e33 had it's gonna be REALLY hard to win a goty award

[runic adder]

Soon

[supple sequoia]

it would be

[stoic sigil]

Can Silksong run on my calculator?

[glossy berry]

okay but a lack of full mental functions =/= a lack of consciousness and thought

[gusty mason]

Well the system is broken. Money is just becoming less valuable over time and it makes everyone suffer.

[rich haven]

Congratulations you've discovered inflation

[supple sequoia]

e33 is too big of a contender to not win imo

[runic adder]

I think people are kinda underestimating the impact Silksong will have

[keen ginkgo]

it probably hands people paperclips instead of geo 90% of the time

[supple sequoia]

but I'll probably love silksong just as much

[keen ginkgo]

wait where does the knight even hold geo

[fading sandal]

steam has a change of crashing

[chilly lodge]

Anyone else playing through hollow knight in preparation?

[gusty mason]

Which is bullshit. Everything should have a static value.

[keen ginkgo]

does it have pockets???

[glossy berry]

inherently a late stage capitalism issue tbf
when you have a system that is built on inequality those will continue to just get worse

[rich haven]

Cloak pockets

[runic adder]

I'd say it's about 50/50 on e33 vs Silksong

[heady iron]

wages are static

[keen ginkgo]

eye hole pockets

[hardy stag]

His

[fading sandal]

i mean when even the premiere's view count had been paused

[full gazelle]

agreed

[rich haven]

That would take absolute tyranny to achieve. We live in a free market and I for one am extremely thankful.

[fringe hazel]

is it weird if I don't wanna play games until I've played and beaten silksong?

[tall gulch]

Inflation is not bullshit lol it's actually important for it to exist

[glossy berry]

the knight is it/its lmao

[chilly lodge]

Okay why are yall talking about capitalism and inflation in the ss discussion channel lmaoo

[tall gulch]

With that said hyperinflation is bad

[heady iron]

cause hornet inflates

[keen ginkgo]

i mean that shell is hollow and allat so what if the knight just crams geo in there

[versed pollen]

If you can't handle the heat you can't handle ss-disc

[rich haven]

Good grief

[gusty mason]

Imagine in two thousand years , a banana cost five hundred dollars

[nimble raptor]

Why are we talking about inflation did we hear something about the price

[supple sequoia]

oh no not this again

[glossy berry]

channel is offtopic lmao its been like this for years

[opaque sigil]

a small amount of inflation is generally seen as healthy for a lot of reasons, but that also requires shit like wages increasing over time

[full gazelle]

Yeah it's possible I think we're all a little skeptical too because we don't want to keep our expectations too high, but if it does truly seem the quality of a 7 year game then it could win

[spare fractal]

someone clearly hasn't been in the server for long enough

[rich haven]

It already does. A penny used to be worth more than a dollar today.

[runic adder]

I don't think we'll be using dollars in 2000 years

[heady iron]

mars coins

[gusty mason]

You get the point

[tall gulch]

The idea is that wages would also increase so 500 dollars in the future would be worth about the same as like, 5 dollars today

The fact that wages don't increase is the problem, not inflation's existence

[hardy stag]

I don't care

[chilly lodge]

Actually yeah I never talk in here. I guess it’s a regular occurrence?

[heady atlas]

dogecoin

[rich haven]

We were using forms of dollars 2000 years ago, I think? Maybe? The dollar comes from Spain, who knows

[supple sequoia]

it must also be noted e33 was also developed for a looong time

[tidal ruin]

bold to assume earth has 2000 years left

[silver oak]

I doubt it’ll be dead much for the next like, year

[full gazelle]

trueee

[rich haven]

Oh ye of little faith

[nimble raptor]

I’d give it 1000

[hardy stag]

But we already passed that it's year 2025

[glossy berry]

i miss kaan already can we unrelease the game for them to come back

[lunar monolith]

why is it called hornet if she is a spider?

[rich haven]

That's only AD as well

[torpid frost]

Nah. Misinformation

[fiery burrow]

true!!

[calm cargo]

She was trained in the hive

[rich haven]

This guy gets it

[heady iron]

I think in 1y 4m 5d 7h 27m 32s, humanity will die

[hardy stag]

Cuz she was trained by a bee

[fiery burrow]

Ennea too

[gusty mason]

The earth has been through hell and back. And the solar system itself has been four point six billion years old at least

[rich haven]

Cause she stings

[supple sequoia]

plus the music in skong has to be insane to beat e33, while the gameplay will most likely be good I think the scale and cultural impact of skong won't be as big

[gusty mason]

I think we'll be fine

[runic adder]

I just meant that things could change to account for this, we're probably not gonna just be using american dollars then. I mean inflation's existed for quite a long time

[supple sequoia]

not to mention the hoarde of angry french people if e33 does not win

[chilly lodge]

Okay guys I’ve got a genius idea here: inflation should just stop. It’s that easy

[tidal hearth]

Why is hollow knight called "hollow" when he was not?

[distant socket]

so, can hornet parry in ss??

[spare fractal]

DID WE LOSE KAAN?!

[tidal ruin]

have you seen what humanity has done to earth in the past decade alone, let alone everything before that

[supple sequoia]

I'm sure goty people would rather deal with angry people on discord and reddit than angry frenchmen

[opaque sigil]

e33 probably should win the odds of SS being better than it are slim to say the least

but that's not how awards work so

[rich haven]

Inflation has existed as long as there has been trading. Do you think one piece of blue shell went as far as it did 100 years ago back in 0020?

[glossy berry]

left the server because this channel and offtopic are liable to suck for a bit post-release

[pallid plinth]

Expedition is just paper Mario in unreal engine

[hardy stag]

ew fr*nch

[rich haven]

So true

[chilly lodge]

Exactly dude I’m just that good

[nocturne tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-luffy-monkey-d-luffy-the-one-piece-is-real-stand-gif-10047556268266163574

[tidal ruin]

they're a popularity contest foremost

[heady iron]

kaan's only using that as an excuse to play LoL

[heady atlas]

it would be crazy if ss won goty since it only got 3 months to prove itself

[runic adder]

Did you read what I said

[supple sequoia]

common ball knowledge

[spare fractal]

oh thank goodness... I thought the mods did a real fuckup now and banned them

[full gazelle]

true although hk ost was insanely high quality for a first project, a new game with a focus on strings and access to orchestral pieces is bound to have an absolutely stunning collection of tracks. Not to say that e33 isn't up there with nier automata in my mind, but I do think SS will have a pretty amazing ost

[tidal ruin]

its okay, we can pull an elden ring and make a dlc a nominee for goty

[opaque sigil]

probably, not better than e33 though

[rich haven]

Yeah I'm not arguing, just cause I replied doesn't mean I wasn't to dissect what you said and tell you why it's wrong

[glossy berry]

okay tbf having like a trillion new people around to make fun of them sounds like a death sentence no matter how justified it is

[gusty mason]

All im sayin here is that food prices shouldnt skyrocket. Video games too.

[heady atlas]

whats kaan anyways

[glossy berry]

[rich haven]

Did you know Mario 64 was 60$ on release

[opaque sigil]

normal inflation doesn't cause prices to skyrocket

doubt it

[rich haven]

Video game prices have actually stayed remarkably constant

[chilly lodge]

I mean I think everyone would agree with that

[gusty mason]

Nice.

[supple sequoia]

e33 is pretty much as close to a perfect game as I've played (also during an important part of my life), I feel like silksong will provide me with more entertainment over a longer period of time though

[spare fractal]

new member alert! new member alert!

[hardy stag]

Ur close, but not quite.

[heady iron]

if it's such a perfect game then why haven't I bought it yet

[supple sequoia]

very different games

[rich haven]

The new Nintendos are outliers

[glossy berry]

hyped as fuck for silksong; sincerely doubt its beating e33 at all

[runic adder]

I said that inflation has existed for a long time and then you responded by saying that inflation has existed for a long time. I would assume by the tone you were trying to counter something I said but I have no idea what really

[supple sequoia]

I'd atleast hope that skong wins indie goty

[glossy berry]

silksong will be great but that game does deserve goty

[heady atlas]

doesnt have to be though i havent played e33, but still peak is peak

[chilly lodge]

What’s e33?

[rain kayak]

isnt e33 indie as well?

[tidal ruin]

I still haven't even played e33 but its too late now, I probably won't finish it before skong

[rain kayak]

expedition 33

[opaque sigil]

yes

[gusty mason]

If Silksong doesn't get game of the year in 2026 i'm going to lose it.

[rich haven]

Nosiree I was adding to your thoughts and contributing to the conversation, it was also mostly done for the sake of humor, comparing bits of blue shells to modern economics

[supple sequoia]

maybe but it's kinda like an AA game

[opaque sigil]

you could, but it's also not going anywhere

[supple sequoia]

same category as team cherry imo

[cunning geode]

outlawed

[runic adder]

Ohh okay

[gusty mason]

We're going to lose the Gen.Impact again

[chilly lodge]

Oh wait I think I’ve heard of that

[supple sequoia]

they're like indie game pro max companies

[tidal ruin]

yeah but typically if I end up dropping a game I either never pick it up again or take at least a year to do so

[supple sequoia]

they have hella funding and stuff

[heady atlas]

did e33 have a large budget?

[glossy berry]

i mean it isnt a race the game will be there after silksong anyway

please pick it up its so worth

[supple sequoia]

just like skong

[heady iron]

localthunk should release a new game at the last second and have that win indie goty

[tulip swift]

I think hornet is a hear me out

[pallid plinth]

It's terminal

[rich haven]

So true

[heady atlas]

eh then theyre both indies

[tidal ruin]

My first and second times playing hollow knight were about 9 months apart

[unkempt burrow]

12

[runic adder]

I haven't seen e33 make as big of an impact as I'd expect from Silksong in the long run but maybe I'm just in the wrong spaces

[normal token]

Silksong has been my most anticipated game for 6 and a half years I aint gonna miss the second of launch

[pastel aspen]

that’s more of a preferential thing than anything, RPGs aren’t a lot of people’s forte

[hardy stag]

Would you guys SELL THE WORLD for silksong?

[heady atlas]

lmao no

[fallow adder]

no

[rich haven]

But then I wouldn't have a computer to play it on

[tidal ruin]

no definitely not

[normal token]

Yes

[uneven orchid]

Holy shit, Curry in main. What has the world come to

[supple sequoia]

two very different companies and games though, but probably both indie

[pastel aspen]

I think E33 is some of, if not the best, RPG combat ever, but I will admit I got bored of it at times

[versed pollen]

I would sell the world just for the fun of it. So yes

[opaque sigil]

no just for lots and lots of money

[unkempt burrow]

Still no price 😞

[quaint chasm]

If silksong is so good why isn't there a silksong 2????

[gusty mason]

If you don't wanna play the game fast take your time.

[runic adder]

Holy shit it's Noxie

[supple sequoia]

the storytelling is supreme

[pastel aspen]

The reason E33 is so good is frankly the story, it is just that good

[heady iron]

best rpg combat is an oxymoron

[full gazelle]

samesies, and it comes out two weeks before i go to college so im gonna play the heck out of it

[warped umbra]

e33 is super fun, would recommend

[tidal ruin]

I can also just pick up e33 after silksong

[heady atlas]

if indie just means a small independent team then yeah theyre both indie

[rich haven]

I keep looking at your profile picture and seeing flowey with a cowboy hat

[normal token]

The stars are colliding again

[heady atlas]

thought idk how small is small

[runic adder]

Turn based combat is awesome it's just a lot of video games don't do it too well

[opaque sigil]

I disagree I think it would be a banger game on art direction and gameplay alone, the story being as good as it is is icing on the cake

[tidal ruin]

rn I'm in my phasmophobia era so I wouldn't play it anyways

[supple sequoia]

everything is good in that game imo

[fiery burrow]

Turn based combat makes me think of persona

[pastel aspen]

oh yeah art direction is stellar ofc

[cunning geode]

bowsers inside story 👹

[fiery burrow]

Really an awful genre when that's the face of it

[rich haven]

Thought you said transphobia for a second there and I was about to commend you for documenting it as an era

[barren sequoia]

Okay the issue with e33 compared to silksong though is that e33 wants you to embrace french people

[chilly lodge]

I’d love to try expedition 33, seems right up my alley, but it’s a lil too expensive for me rn. I hope it goes on sale

[versed pollen]

Wow what the shrue

[rain kayak]

I never got into turn based rpgs

[pallid plinth]

If team cherry had 7 years of development with them enjoying it the whole time and nothing going wrong it better have every genre of game inside of it

[opaque sigil]

persona is a really bad representative yeah

[tidal ruin]

"yeah lmao I'm in my homophobe era"

[barren sequoia]

While silksong is all about those bugs hell yeah baby

[pastel aspen]

you will be seeing my return as a regular a lot more once this fuck ass game comes out

[rich haven]

Cause it isn't proper turn based, it's as action as anything else

[runic adder]

I think TTRPGs have shown me a lot of the cool stuff you can do with turn based combat, it's an interesting space to work in

[distant socket]

can’t wait for Metroid to beat E33

[heady iron]

e33 is about the french while silksong is about the aussies

[pallid plinth]

The biggest homophobe in history vs the biggest homophobe today

[brittle otter]

because the secret is that nobody has actually played undertale

[fiery burrow]

Undertale combat falls off once you know how to spare everyone. Bullet hells are cool though

[versed pollen]

You disgust me

[tidal hearth]

SHAW

[barren sequoia]

Yeah and the aussies say shrimp on the barbie and made the big lez so they win

[distant socket]

I've been going through a bit of racism lately but im thinking about expanding to full xenophobia

[uneven orchid]

Omg you too?? Silksong is truly bringing us all back together...

[pallid plinth]

Sparing everyone is the more interesting part though since it's easy to just build damage and insta kill most mobs

[runic adder]

Hell yeah

[supple sequoia]

if you hate everybody equally, you're not hating on a specific group

[distant socket]

so true

[normal token]

Wdym I don't have TP in Undertale

[rich haven]

Wait, what's it called when you hate people who come from other regions, I thought that was xenophobia

[unreal thicket]

Theory : do you remember how FORGOTTEN crossroads turning into INFECTED crossroads. Maybe we'll see something like this in Silksong, like one of the starting areas will be filled with silk and webs, like : silk grotto

[tidal ruin]

discrimination against all is discrimination against none 🔥

[supple sequoia]

deltarune music is goated

[rich haven]

So true

[tidal hearth]

Agreed

[quick cedar]

No grazing in undertale so cringe

[spare fractal]

hi noxie hiiii!!

[supple sequoia]

ig it's fear of people that aren't of your nationality

[rich haven]

SO TRUE

[runic adder]

Yeah I've just been shitposting here a lot

[glossy berry]

give me back my rude buster lest i start crying

[uneven orchid]

It'll be good to have you more active again, it's been a while man

[tidal ruin]

if we get something like infected crossroads, it should be
A. Less annoying
B. There should be a reason to re-explore

[tidal hearth]

you mean 'silkposting'?

[quick cedar]

Gg

[distant socket]

yes

[uneven orchid]

Hey Patoo! Hope you're doing well

[runic adder]

Silkposting is demonic

[unreal thicket]

True, ICrossroads area was not enjoyable

[runic adder]

I'm not really sure if I'll talk here right after release tbh, I don't care too much about spoilers but maybe I care just enough to avoid this chat

[quick cedar]

Take me home to the place where I belong

[glossy berry]

its really not that bad theres difficulty options

[fiery burrow]

Chats gonna be unusable spoilers or not

[opaque sigil]

I mean how well do you really trust people to use the right channels with the flood of new users

[pastel aspen]

until I get like 80% of achievement I will not be interacting with any HK internet

[heady iron]

I should submit this as a sticker

[tidal ruin]

if infected crossroads didn't make everything blow up and let you still use all room transitions it would be okay, but still not having a reason to re-explore would make it only less annoying as opposed to good

[warped umbra]

get REGARDED

I can't usually play games for very long periods of time, although there's exceptions so maybe Silksong will be one

[normal token]

@pastel aspen ?salsa

[silver oak]

no reason for it to stop applying, it’s so general

[fiery burrow]

Can you keep tag info offtopic so we can still be offtopic 🙏

[opaque sigil]

ig that's fair

[uneven orchid]

Such is life... I recently started a new job which means less time gaming :(

Might have to seek unemployment so I can focus on my career of playing Silksong

[pastel aspen]

real

[versed pollen]

Seek unemployment is crazy

[heady iron]

become a silksong content creator

[normal token]

Im unemployed and start college in october

[silver oak]

the ultimatum is coming

[quick cedar]

How unemployment be looking like when you get a job

[unreal thicket]

Matpat arguments about lore : "the evidence is right there"

[runic adder]

Yeah getting to play Silksong is one of the few advantages to being an unemployed college dropout

[uneven orchid]

I am thank you! Pretty busy this last week honestly but finally have a momentary chance to relax

[pallid plinth]

When you get sad that they actually hire you

[rain kayak]

I will most likely be unemploying myself for 3 days for silksong

[glossy berry]

i start college up again like six days post release which is totally enough for 100%

[quick cedar]

When the " you start monday" text sets in

[frank vector]

i'm silking it

[normal token]

I bet a lot of employed people are gonna want to take pto for silsong anyways

[opaque sigil]

it is funny they're dropping the game on a thursday instead of waiting one extra day to do it on friday

[uneven orchid]

I was crazy once

[pallid plinth]

Why friday

[normal token]

Well technically it drops at exactly 5th september for australia lol

[heady iron]

I should "work from home" Thursday

[rain kayak]

Weekend

[pallid plinth]

Work to live, not live to work

[opaque sigil]

I guess

[pastel aspen]

bruh one of the people at my internship (a fucking senior engineer) said he may take PTO for the game

that was absolutely baffling

[pallid plinth]

But Friday isn't weekend

[glossy berry]

tbf its like 2am for tc/aus friday if you wanna be pedantic it is a friday release

[uneven orchid]

How do you know YOU'RE not the imposter? Who's real? Who's fake? Who's getting voted out? I think it's green

[normal token]

Nono he's got his priorities straight

[quick cedar]

I found you, faker!

[unkempt burrow]

Shaw

[rain kayak]

Its regarded as the weekend here, Friday, Saturday and Sunday

[heady iron]

I wish people at my workplace played silksong instead of watched football and took care of their kids

[pallid plinth]

You get Fridays off??

[unreal thicket]

Guys, are you excited for ||3|| Lace fights?

[quick cedar]

Taking care of your kids in the big 25

[rain kayak]

I only get Sundays off

[opaque sigil]

necro necro is always getting voted out

[normal token]

I saw red vent

[ebon vector]

You're not even shaw enough to by my egale

[fiery burrow]

phantom will be lace 3

[rain kayak]

but weekend doesnt mean days off

[pastel aspen]

yeah his wife also apparently watched him play HK and loved the music so much she started using it as cooking background music

[pallid plinth]

I can play ss in the homeless shelter with the psych majore

[normal token]

Absolutely based

[glossy berry]

not for a while probably

[runic adder]

Nobody will ever mod Silksong

[unreal thicket]

washing dishes with PURE vessel theme

[distant socket]

imma kill lace first try trust

[lost pebble]

Is silksong a prequel or sequel in terms of lore and story

[deep hinge]

i dont think so but never say never

[ebon vector]

No, there will be no mods in silksong because Team Cherry will personally shut down every mod project using their mass array of lawyers

[normal token]

The first CustomHornet skin will take 5 years

[distant socket]

sequel

[unreal thicket]

We don't know

[uneven orchid]

I agree, and for that reason I'm voting Joker anyway because fuck that guy

[quick cedar]

Prequel

[runic adder]

We don't know for certain

[rain kayak]

Actually Fireb0rn said that the dude who made the hk coop mod is gonna be making one for ss too

[lost pebble]

Ty

[opaque sigil]

probably takes place after but not a narrative continuation

[unreal thicket]

We don't know yet

[runic adder]

Yeah I'm joking

[quick cedar]

We?

[lost pebble]

Fr?Alr

[pastel aspen]

bro’s catching strays outside of purple 🥀

[glossy berry]

narratively a spinoff story, chronologically after the events of hk i assume

[unreal thicket]

HK community

[quick cedar]

Yall

[unreal thicket]

Only TC knows

[ebon vector]

That's what they want you to think

[quick cedar]

Me and tc

[pallid plinth]

So do y'all actually like or hate Joker

[glossy berry]

oh tammo got there first im washed

[heady iron]

Noxie has a point

[distant socket]

i guess we’ll find out

[unreal thicket]

[distant socket]

imagine we team up with the knight

[pallid plinth]

Or to polite to say anything if you do

[unreal thicket]

Leth said, TC wanted this to be a secret

[quick cedar]

Did leth say that

[unreal thicket]

We'll only know when the game releases

[quick cedar]

We already got a knight game

[unreal thicket]

Yes, in some interview

[distant socket]

imagine if there was a whole game where we can play as the knight…

[quick cedar]

Called hollow knight idk if you've ever heard

Kinda underground

[hardy stag]

No what's that

[fiery burrow]

Ori ripoff

[quick cedar]

It's where we throw rocks at people

[distant socket]

also it’d be sick if it had multiple free DLCs

[runic adder]

That one vessel Hornet kills in Greenpath is playable, except it's still dead so you can't do anything

[fiery burrow]

Those hypothetical dlcs would suck

[rain kayak]

would be cool if it had a deep area filled with nesting horrors

[pastel aspen]

[distant socket]

and it’d have silksong references of silk in it

[spare fractal]

Star would my idea for a dlc with playable Bretta be cool

[runic adder]

I want a homunculus in Silksong. Every game needs a homunculus

[quick cedar]

Bretta 🕊️ ☠️

[rain kayak]

Almost like a den of weavers

[distant socket]

bretta is a fat pig

[uneven orchid]

One of the best perks of becoming a mod is getting to bully him just as much here as I do there

[distant socket]

she doesn’t deserve a game :(

[fiery burrow]

Dating sim

[quick cedar]

Bretta is the real loser not zote zote is a chad

[rain kayak]

Me and all my homies hate Bretta

[fiery burrow]

I'm holding out for a Boon cooking game personally

[rain kayak]

Bretta cheats

Big nuh uh

[distant socket]

frrr

[runic adder]

Hollow Knight game but it's like Dungeon Meshi.........

[fiery burrow]

you see the vision

[spare fractal]

...hold on why does that idea actually fit bretta

would myla get a survival sandbox game??

[formal sapphire]

tomorrow for sure!

[pastel aspen]

fuck is he doing here?

[fiery burrow]

Myla would gelt a business simulator because she's greedy

[uneven orchid]

If I gave my honest answer he'd never let me hear the end of it, so I have to remain a hater

[quick cedar]

Woah!

[runic adder]

He is necessary for the plot

[distant socket]

the first area of ss is basically green path

[runic adder]

The dastardly homunculus

[fiery burrow]

I hate joker because he deleted a message 3 years ago and told me not to be mean

[quick cedar]

Is the knight even a knight

[distant socket]

no wonder hornet liked it there

[upper widget]

Silksong from hollow knight : hornet

[pallid plinth]

Good that there's unity cause people keep telling me they hate him

[rain kayak]

nope he's a squire

[runic adder]

I'm cool with Joker

[quick cedar]

Why isnt he called the squire then liberal

[rain kayak]

because baron mind the game is called hollow knight

[distant socket]

it was a wonderful feeling seeing hornet in green path and calling her ‘silksong’

[upper widget]

Embed failed

[rain kayak]

did ya get it?

[runic adder]

The person I don't like though is Woker

[pallid plinth]

But he isn't here much lately from what I see

[quick cedar]

Hollow knight is a knight and that's his name

[distant socket]

hollow knight was in the egg

[rain kayak]

the joke went over your head bud

[quick cedar]

🕊

[upper widget]

Eggs produce hollow knights

[quick cedar]

Then it wasnt funny bruh smh

Did you

[distant socket]

wouldnt that mean that the pure vessel should be called hollow knight?

[heady iron]

How do you guys like your arcane eggs done

[rain kayak]

baron= bear in

[distant socket]

marinated for centuries

[rain kayak]

and squire, baron, knights yk

[quick cedar]

Geheheheha

[uneven orchid]

Bullying each other has been one of the core components of our friendship for the last 5 years, and I don't plan to stop any time soon

[rigid chasm]

Guys

[fiery burrow]

In Hallownest exclusively

[runic adder]

The Hollow Knight is their deadname, they just go by Pure Vessel now

[rigid chasm]

Since silksong has so many new mechanics, imagine how speedruns would look

[distant socket]

:( but pure vessel is indeed hollow, hollow knight isnt

[quick cedar]

He said he wants to be called kakarot

[light plover]

this will be my last month of gaming. i sold my pc since there's no game that grabbed my attention like hollow knight did. oodbye all

[rigid chasm]

Cya 👋

[quick cedar]

Ok

[fiery burrow]

Hollow Knight is hollow its filled with emptiness

[distant socket]

can’t wait for vids like “5 hunters vs 1 speedrunner

[fiery burrow]

Its in the name too smh

[rigid chasm]

For real XD

[quick cedar]

When the knight is hollow

[rigid chasm]

First we silk
Then we song

[heady iron]

Multiple Hornets just to piss off the lorists

[distant socket]

wonder what daily silksong news will do after release

[runic adder]

I have always been saying this

I hate all lore

[quick cedar]

How will this affect hk lore

[distant socket]

game theory better not pull up with a “The knight is actually Hornet” theory

[rigid chasm]

If primal aspids are in silksong

Im deleting

[ancient plover]

Im so excited for fireborn to cover silksong

[pallid plinth]

game theory isnt the same since MATPAT LEFT

[rain kayak]

I hope they shoot 5 shots instead of 3

[mortal bluff]

Silksong vs nine sols which game will be better?

[distant socket]

oh yessss

[rigid chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-primal-aspid-machine-gun-minigun-i-hate-it-gif-17572793

[quick cedar]

Snooze sols

[runic adder]

Nine Sols mid so Silksong

[distant socket]

so true!

[potent swan]

Skong

[rigid chasm]

YOU DEVIL

[rain kayak]

hehehehehehe

[distant socket]

silky kong should be in bananza 😔

[mortal bluff]

Real, wanted to give y’all an easy one

[zinc pier]

Silksong mid too though . . .

[rain kayak]

And I hope nosk and no lies appears every bossfight

[quick cedar]

Is matpat super retired or just from game theoru

[potent swan]

Get out.

[strong girder]

glad TC profited so much off HK that they didnt feel economic pressure to just pump Silksong out to the market

[distant socket]

kill him >:(

[rigid chasm]

LEAVE NOW

[distant socket]

he doesn’t deserve the silliness

[potent swan]

Wharraido

[rigid chasm]

PREPARE THYSELF FOR DIVINE JUDGEMENT

[rain kayak]

yall fell for the ragebait

[zinc pier]

Listen I’m just explaining the silkslop. I’m just the messenger

[distant socket]

not u

the guy u replied to

[potent swan]

Why is everything slop

[fiery burrow]

Silksong is also likely mid but Nine Sols will be worse

[distant socket]

we had to

[strong girder]

i too am being cautiously optimistic, would hate to learn ive been deifying a game that ends being disappointing

[zinc pier]

Don’t worry I don’t like it either

I’m making fun of the people who do . . .

[potent swan]

I swear there’s like 50 different kinds of slop now and idk a single one

[runic adder]

The rampant forces of capitalism

[strong girder]

keep yourt expectations low and you'll never be dissapointed

[rain kayak]

I miss when slop was prison food

[quick cedar]

Gurt

[rigid chasm]
