[narrow lotus]

But the fights are good

[silk wing]

whole thing is ass 🥹

[narrow lotus]

Sybau bro

[tawdry valley]

Yeah that’s every degree. You get a degree and then your job teaches you your job

[neat forum]

silksong, just a week away

can you believe it guys? silksong is in a week

i am so happy about this information

[tawdry valley]

You’ll be fine trust

[tidal ruin]

The animation is really good though, and I don't need an AOT/Frieren level story to enjoy watching some guys throw hands

[narrow lotus]

It's not real

[young saffron]

[dapper topaz]

Like, I liked the fights too, but later on the MC basically takes over the whole plot then it starts becoming cringe

[tired oyster]

i have no personal experiences with them but by all accounts of people i personally know who have, they were literally worse off hiring an agency than they were just going on indeed and mass applying to anything they qualify for

[silk wing]

its just fighting 😭 no plot no likable characters no emotion

[viscid wind]

i dont think i'll actually be able to get a job when i grow up

[narrow lotus]

And fights are COOL

[silk wing]

no fights and a deep story > fights

[young saffron]

solo leveling isnt neccesarily bad but why the hell did it win over frieren?

[narrow lotus]

Aot ending is also ass

[tawdry valley]

You sound like every fresh graduate in 2008 who’s now a valued employee at the workplace they applied for after the workplace they entered in 2009

[tidal ruin]

Its a popularity contest more than anything

[faint tendon]

[young saffron]

vinland saga s2 my beloved

[buoyant pumice]

what the fuck dude i have literally never told my mother about hollow knight, how does she know this

[silk wing]

havent watched HxH

[silk wing]

ITS SO GOOODDDD way better then s1

[spare kestrel]

Do we get silksong on switch 1 and if so do we know the price?

[narrow lotus]

Vinland saga is actually peak

[tawdry valley]

Very sweet

[dapper topaz]

AOT is a bad example
Literally that entire story is so complicated in s4
And tbh personally I think s4 wasn' that much likable

[tired oyster]

i agree but there's a place in my heart for things where the majority of the appeal is the action too

[buoyant pumice]

indeed

[hexed prawn]

Yes. No.

[faint tendon]

Fr frieren ate both story and animation

[clear forge]

for some comparison
it took 1 week for the realease trailer to get 4.5m views, while the reveal trailer took more than 6 years for around 100k views more

[dapper topaz]

👀
PEAK MOM

[shell bough]

w mom

[silk wing]

im a ish writer its fine

[young saffron]

gonna watch Takopi's Original Sin tmr

[shell bough]

release trailer will surpass

[buoyant pumice]

it’s a shonen in what essentially was a popularity contest, and a lot more ppl will have watched it sadly

[tidal ruin]

I still need to rewatch s1 of kaiju no. 8

[narrow lotus]

Hxh is ass

[buoyant pumice]

god these 7 days are gonna feel so long

[dapper topaz]

FR
I was wondering that yeah, the staff of solo leveling is pretty good, show is nice overall
But I've heard frieren has much more complex and deeper themes with almost no action

[tired oyster]

i think it was poorly executed but the idea at its core was decent enough that i think it pales in comparison to other famously terrible endings to otherwise good series like game of thrones' ending which is just actual hot garbage that ruined that show's reputation forever

[tidal ruin]

hxh is peak

[faint tendon]

Guys try jjba

[young saffron]

its bad? or its depressing? please dont spoil 😔

[narrow lotus]

Peak

[silk wing]

some of my favs are a silent voice, vinland saga, and frieren. i loved them sm

[viscid wind]

i have NO money making skills outside of like a little bit of coding and i'm starting high school next week i fear

[young saffron]

[violet shore]

To think, in a weeks time we will FINALLY be playing?

[dapper topaz]

Guys please watch 86
Really good mech show

[tired oyster]

very depressing is my understanding

[faint tendon]

It’s a very happy story

[narrow lotus]

Guys read berserk

[tidal ruin]

Just don't let anyone walk in on you during season 2 episode (idk the episode, its gon vs hisoka)

[young saffron]

oh well you have ALOT of time to learn/practice before you enter any industry

[faint tendon]

Guys real one watch orb

[rugged solstice]

i better leave this chat for the next hour. discord no-lifes are notorious anime spoilers

[tired oyster]

if you don't mind things that are very much slow burns i'd highly recommend Mushishi. one of my personal favorite anime i've watched

[narrow lotus]

[buoyant pumice]

she just sent me a link to r/silksong??????

[silk wing]

[torpid orchid]

Guys. Random question. Since silksong fans are no longer clowns, are we gentlemen then?

[narrow lotus]

YES

[devout birch]

less than a week
6 days, 23 hours, 9 minutes, 15 seconds

[rich haven]

RK took me 3 days straight of fighting (as opposed to [final genocide boss] who took me a year of on and off attempts)

I will play god of war ascension and ragnarok whil silksong does not release

[narrow lotus]

[rich haven]

What do you mean, did you get the shadow crystal?

[humble finch]

yooooo everyoneeee sooo someone have an idea abt the sksong price ?

[cedar bluff]

nope.

[rich haven]

It's gonna be about 2 bill gates

[humble finch]

Hmm

[rugged solstice]

doesnt matter how shit CoD is. It will still be the best selling game of the year

[humble finch]

[rich haven]

Have you beaten chapter 4?

[humble finch]

[narrow lotus]

Risk of rain reference? In this economy?

[viscid wind]

have you ever said something you truly believe in

[tidal ruin]

False son on the 5th run </3
(Best advice is treat every attack like they will one shot you because half the time they will)

[viscid wind]

wdym reference that's a straight up screenshot

[rich haven]

I'm sorry, THATS your fifth ever death?

[rugged solstice]

lmao yes

[rain kayak]

battlefield is bout to change that bud

[rich haven]

Very nice, so are you just missing the knight's shadow crystal

[viscid wind]

no that's a new savefile since like 2024

[narrow lotus]

It's always cod guys

[young saffron]

hog mid legacy best selling 2023?? what the slop

[cedar bluff]

i beat the roaring knight pre nerf what about u guys

[rugged solstice]

cod doubters when I provide them with facts and logic:

[rich haven]

I did indeed

[tired oyster]

really good, short, but kinda spoilery video about what makes this show so good https://youtu.be/tIZDnQtmFIU?si=aQkYijJi01g5I3uV

[viscid wind]

mithrix i survived by jumping around like a moron because some attacks feel untelegraphable only to die to the pizza cutta and get revived because i'm seeker

[tawdry valley]

Then wtf are you worried about. You have 5-8 years to wait for a better job market depending on your highschool progress

[rich haven]

I beat it before moving to chapter 4, it took me 3 days of attempts

[rain kayak]

I glitched out the pacman score on an arcade machine

[tawdry valley]

That’s like worrying about the 2012-2016 market in 2008

[narrow lotus]

Do you guys really think just cause we complain they are going to change we need to actually not buy the games but it's always the most sold game every year

[light estuary]

Is .10€ enough to buy silksong on release?

[rugged solstice]

yes i truly believe in this

[narrow lotus]

Yes

[tidal ruin]

Some attacks are bs
Pizza cutter is basically an attack where you pray to not get hit twice during the duration, if you have really good armor or some kind of hit absorber then you could maybe make it to 3 hits

[sage glade]

silksong in 7

[rich haven]

If I had a nickel for everyone I've heard use cheats to beat the knight I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. Also you know you can't get the twisted sword, right? There's no pure crystal.

Above 90% health you have one shot protection

[young saffron]

just to get your opinion do you think uni ranking matters in a job sense?

[rugged solstice]

"CoD will have the most sales this year!"
"No ur crazy"

"Well not this year!"

[viscid wind]

yeah i had like 70% or so

this is actual playercount

[tawdry valley]

Your internship experience is much more valuable than your degree to an employer. If you can get a manager to recommend you, or apply within that interning company; you win.

[rugged solstice]

not counterstrike. they have no taste

[young saffron]

do you know any other 8 year old single player game that has 50k concurrent players? I dont

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/asgore-run-over-triki-troy-deltarune-gif-17995477417765303444

[tawdry valley]

The issue is that internships aren’t very interesting generally.

[young saffron]

in the sense? like the work is boring?

[viscid wind]

minecraft

[young saffron]

we ignore that one

[tawdry valley]

As in you may not even be assigned work. And the work you are assigned is meant to be assistive to someone else

[rich haven]

Terraria, probably

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/tony-stark-iron-man-rdj-robert-downey-jr-gif-12827561982487783924

[rugged solstice]

the average internship pays better than the average generic summer job and sets you up to land a full time job post-college

[viscid wind]

Stardew valley has 100k players

[rich haven]

Tetris probably as well

[tawdry valley]

The reason CS is having a hard time is because the best assistant programmer is chatgpt.

[cedar bluff]

deltarune broke steam

[tawdry valley]

Have you considered a masters degree. Doing one after working a job or in partnership with an employer can be ideal if possible

[viscid wind]

spacewar has 63000 players

[high cosmos]

I thought it was lie, but is in fact true

[young saffron]

Nope never considered it right after my degree, in my mind I always kept an idea of doing an MBA or better yet a business IT degree after I work for like 2-3 years

[spark kettle]

message

[frigid bane]

it's been a week since the announcement?

[tawdry valley]

Yeah excellent then

[sinful bough]

I hope that if it does, it looks like a fucked up reign of blood, like the crimson court from darkest dungeon

[high cosmos]

i think some dletarune fans jumped ship to silksong

[frigid bane]

it felt like YEARS

[high cosmos]

considering I am one

[young saffron]

I know it sounds kinda silly since the classes are "easy" but uni is really burning me out for some reason

[upper widget]

A week and a day

[rugged solstice]

considering i've already beaten deltarune, yeah, im moving to skong

[upper widget]

Since silksong announcement

[high cosmos]

it does that

[spark kettle]

my bet is its going to cost the same as like 25

If you know a professor somewhat personally, they might be a good person to talk to.

Easy classes being draining is exactly why intern work can be considered draining

[bold olive]

bro already played ch7 😭

[high cosmos]

I just beat you know who without you know what

[high cosmos]

for like the 5th time btw

[rugged solstice]

yeah Toby gave me an early copy in exchange for services

[tawdry valley]

“I’m not learning, this is just grunt work” is the same as “I’m not that useful, this is grunt work”

[upper widget]

I see silksong being the same price as deltarun.. and the deltarot is consuming the ss discussion agaiiinnn

[tired oyster]

that's not silly at all, for the three years i was in college i took a light course load because my personal wellbeing was already unstable and i still got burnt out so hard that i dropped out as of the end of last year

I think it should be more expensive

[kind veldt]

what services

[bold olive]

TRUST ME I KNOW THE FEELING

[high cosmos]

And it likely will be

[young saffron]

okay wow that was basically how I was feeling

[upper widget]

Silksong should NOT be more than 25-30 dollars

[bold olive]

my 2nd year and i already cant stand it

[cedar bluff]

lowk jevil is ez tho

[bold olive]

i just wanna play silksong on release day 😭

[high cosmos]

25-35 but yh

[viscid wind]

i need like flawless academic performance in hs to get into a good uni i will literally die

[tawdry valley]

I’m not gonna read into your personal life,
I’m sure what you did was because you made the best choice for yourself,
generally speaking the best time to dropout is for another path, not in spite of your expectations with the path you’re taking now

[high cosmos]

Its probably better than most triple a games hinestly

[harsh yarrow]

its up to 50K??

[tawdry valley]

Like caring more about EMT work, for example

[viscid wind]

ikr

[young saffron]

nightreign shivering

[upper widget]

I see 30 a fair price since we dont Want silksong to become expensive

[bold olive]

DANG

[tawdry valley]

I’d imagine that’s what you mean by burnout, rather than “uni too hard”

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/high-ink-sans-gif-25049966

[high cosmos]

not 35?

[viscid wind]

30 dollars is expensive though

[high cosmos]

fair enough honestly

[bold olive]

i would genuinely be curious on peoples reactions if SS was $60

[viscid wind]

for a lot of people

[rich haven]

Rouxls Kaard took me like 15 tries too

[cedar bluff]

guys silksong will be cheap trust the devs have too much money

[tawdry valley]

A large surprise more than anything. “Probably a mistake, this will lead to piracy in non currency advantage countries”

[upper widget]

Tbh the price gap is atleast 25-30 not more than that,

[tired oyster]

pretty much. plus if i ever want to go back it was better i drop out for the time being because what those 3 years mostly consisted of was getting a few of the credit hours i needed and then digging my GPA into a hole the rest of the time

[rich haven]

Also how did you beat the gremlin with the mantle on your first try

[bold olive]

true

[river ivy]

If silksong is the same as Hk and all following DLCS are free than 30 is definitely not expensive

[high cosmos]

Gerson was very anticlimactic, took me two tries, but its about the story for him (i still think spamton is the best secret boss atm)

[rich haven]

That guy is a beast

[bold olive]

the dlcs will 100% be free

[upper widget]

But hey no matter the orice in still buying silksong , i WANT to play it

[tawdry valley]

30 bucks would also be a surprise but still reasonable. I’m fully expecting 15 bucks because TC has been extremely nonchalant about money. 20-25 would be very reasonable too

[native meadow]

honestly i wouldnt bat an eye

[rich haven]

I think 20 is the fairest estimate

[upper widget]

I mean hollow knights dlcs were free , so there is no reason it should be money

[high cosmos]

no? Way under

[tired oyster]

and if i want that hole to be something i can actually recover it from if i ever go back i've gotta stop and focus on myself for a while

[rich haven]

More power to you, I suppose

[bold olive]

i think most people will, but long term its not a good idea setting a high price imo

[bold olive]

exactly

[spark kettle]

hornet

[cedar bluff]

https://tenor.com/view/deltarune-roaring-knight-tenna-family-guy-peter-gif-9054462988448135825

[high cosmos]

It has like 10x hollow knight’s budget and thrice its dev time

[rich haven]

It's the sequel to hollow Knight with higher production quality, and TC is very generous. 5 dollars more than the original is perfectly fair

[tawdry valley]

You sell yourself short. Decent grades are about conscientious, not love of the work or IQ. You should be able to get the degree if you wanted to, you likely just didn’t want to.

[spark kettle]

honret

[rugged solstice]

We're very lucky to live in a world where indies are much cheaper than AAA slop, when the quality of the games is reversed.

[high cosmos]

no? Its the same and way more, atleast double would be “fair”, and thats not even considering how generous tc were with the original price

[tawdry valley]

AAA games have actual incentive and reasoning to be the prices they are

[bold olive]

facts

[opaque sigil]

the average aaa game is way better than the average indie you just don't see the bad indies

[keen heron]

Linux/steam deck users: (they can’t play the game)

[cedar bluff]

indies are the opposite of cringe meanwhile aaa's are just meh

[rich haven]

TC has enough money to let them and their immediate family retire, skongs price is entirely up to them, rather than the market or how big the actual game is

[bold olive]

but most recent triple As have been garbo

[coarse kernel]

Jevil was not that bad

[opaque sigil]

15 is a really fair price for the first game what

[spark kettle]

bla bla bla bla bla bla

[native meadow]

if SS is any lower than 25 ill be surprised

[cerulean sable]

whayt if silksong's beta was dark and griddy

[spark kettle]

i hope silksong costs $89

[bold olive]

griddy?

[opaque sigil]

did you mean gritty or is it a dark fantasy srpg on a grid based map

What if hornet hit the griddy while silking her song

[high cosmos]

same with most triple a studios, theyre still delivering a quality product, which theyre already being generous with

[keen heron]

My biggest fear when joining a new server is wondering whether or not I have embed perms
Like imagine posting the funniest gif ever and you get hit with the embed fail

[young saffron]

Does steam give the game (Eg hk) discounts or does team cherry do it themselves?

[coarse kernel]

Did Spamton give Cuphead plane vibes or just me

[cinder vault]

i wont the game will probaly be exactly 20 or exactly 15 dollars

[tawdry valley]

HK breaks even with a few million sales and a 15 dollar price tag.
AAA slop or AAA peak would require millions of sales, and a significantly larger tag, because the amount of work that makes AAA games AAA is supposed to create something unique

[tired oyster]

why are we deciding to just start ignoring team cherry's explicitly stated goal of keeping their prices pretty low

[native meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/credit-card-meme-aggressive-gif-26375097

[high cosmos]

im not? Its still relatively low

[upper widget]

Take that deltarot away from my silksong discussion

[rich haven]

I won't be taking what isn't mine, no matter who the provider is

[river ivy]

I hope SS wins some categories at Game Awards for the slight chance of the team cherry team going on stage and doing a mini speech

[high cosmos]

compared to most triple a games that their last game swept in quality

[bold olive]

i agree its supposed to but its just been missing the mark recently

[opaque trail]

I hope it’s 20-25 at the maximum then

[bold olive]

best ost????

[tawdry valley]

The problem is that AAA games need to appeal to lots of people to make that purchase repeat in the first place. So repeated purchase (subscription, battle passes, etc) is a way for titles to try for that cash

[cinder vault]

is cuphead worth it?

[native meadow]

i dont know... expedition 33 slapped with its OST...

[high cosmos]

realistically unlikely imo, cause its way too ambient

[coarse kernel]

Yes

[river ivy]

That’s prob E33 but maybe SS can change peoples minds

[neat forum]

I guess there aren't gonna be any silksong pre-orders and we'll have to wait until the game is out to see how much it'll cost

[rich haven]

I don't even like Pokemon lol

[cedar bluff]

bro i bought it for 50 wdym

[high cosmos]

its a rage game, but a fun one

[young saffron]

exp33 easily

[tired oyster]

i don't think you have a grasp on how much more money even a 15 USD increase in price is in countries that aren't economically advantaged

[rich haven]

I hope DR gets nominated

[tawdry valley]

There’s a reason small indie games don’t have supermassive open worlds or high fidelity textures. Hollow knight enemies are 80% goomba, koopa, and bullet bill AI.

[coarse kernel]

Although I’m definitely biased lol

[rugged solstice]

so far, it's exp 33. nobody's played silksong so we cant say the ost will be worse lol

[sacred halo]

Only doubters and deniers play their games, and they don't exist in my eye so EA has 0 sales in their financial statements(Everyone I dislike is a doubter or denier)

[viscid wind]

i'm trying to find that one q&a

[cinder vault]

doesnt e33 ost consist like of 4 good songs and thats it?

[bold olive]

guh i am so FREACKING TIRED OF EXP33 GLAZE. now i KNOW its an amazing game, i never got into it. but how can a roleplaying turn based game be so good?

[opaque sigil]

no

[cedar bluff]

I BOUGHT IT FOR 50 WITHOUT DLC WDYM

[shell bough]

about what

[bold olive]

idk i just dont get it

[cerulean sable]

its a meme in the half life fandom because theres a specific group that really pushes that the Half Life 2 beta aesthetics wouldve made the game better because it was "dark and grittier" so its kinda a tongue and cheek thing (the reason its not followed is that Valve said that they thought it was too dark during developement and it didnt really got through more than just concept art)

fwiw i do think its cool

[cinder vault]

play it

[spark kettle]

anyone who spoils silksong is NOT invitied to my birthday party

[native meadow]

hoping for SS to win best indie but i know e33 was so good too

[rich haven]

That's like asking how an action platformer be good

[young saffron]

geniunely I was the biggest hater of turn based games but that exp 33 combat was so good it doesnt feel like a turnbased game

[noble hearth]

guten tag

[bold olive]

i just have so little time cause of uni

[river ivy]

Parry and dodging REALLY make the combat better

[cinder vault]

cus i played it and i love the soundtrack but there like 4-5 soundtracks which actually were good and rememberable

[high cosmos]

From what ive seen most people dont consider that. Toby didnt from what I can see. Im considering it from the perspective of the overpriced, underwhelming western game market

[bold olive]

well thats got me intrigued atleast

[cerulean sable]

GIB MIR MORPHIUM

GIB, MIR, MORPHI- i mean guten morgen

woah woah woah woah ur not me pal

fair enough then. Is it not a possibility they adjust the price so it’s not too much in other countries but still keeping it in the 30 range here?

[young saffron]

wtf 😔 when does it end??

[cedar bluff]

kpop demon hunters moment

[young saffron]

oh man thats an eventful day

[coarse kernel]

Thx

[bold olive]

and then on the weekends i hang out with fam and friends cause i dont get to hang out with en during the week

[young saffron]

my uni is 9-4 and I purposely avoid clubs

[rugged solstice]

not gonna lie, kpop demon hunters sounded like the most mid, cringe, teen-girl appealing movie of all time. then I watched it and it was peak so

[young saffron]

peak

[bold olive]

i might have like 4 hours on the weekend of freetime

[river ivy]

I feel like silksong and E33 will get majority of the awards at GA this year together

[high cosmos]

You mean the endgame text then? Fair enough, I expect a midyear release though

[bold olive]

i usually just chill with my bird and watch yt

[tired oyster]

i've seen clips of it, at the very least it looks really good visually

[strange night]

From what I've seen it really just looks like terrible "haha funny face" humor

[cinder vault]

i feel like a game which might have good gameplay and lore should not directly win goty if its a sequel and not like the first game of a series

[cedar bluff]

DELTARUNE

[high cosmos]

(and blue prince)

[tame hound]

No

[slender oxide]

thats class though

[rugged solstice]

judging a book by its cover in 2025 is crazy lmao

[viscid wind]

deltarune is too niche to be goty

[high cosmos]

its not its in deltarune after ch 4

[keen heron]

so apparently I WASNT supposed to use the allowance that was given to me to buy steam wallet money

[young saffron]

P sure it targets their audience (k pop fans obv) humour pretty well, but also they make some amazing fights

[high cosmos]

Didnt it break steam?

[bold olive]

unfortunately true

[tired oyster]

can we cool it with the weird terminally online sweeping generalizations about entire creative markets it's so lame

[high cosmos]

I literally just checked, he didnt say it

[tall gulch]

More importantly it isn't even finished lol

[river ivy]

Isn’t E33 also Indie technically? Or would it be Double A

[viscid wind]

so? it's a band kid ass game

[rugged solstice]

i dont need to convince yall ignorant asses to watch a movie i guess. if you want to experience peak then u can choose to give it the time it deserves i suppose

[cinder vault]

its indie

[keen heron]

Looks like im not seeing silksong for another 2 months from now minimum

[bold olive]

double A i think

[slender oxide]

what is double a

[high cosmos]

Still delivers a good story

[viscid wind]

e33 is indie why did people start thinking that indie means small

[bold olive]

LOL

[viscid wind]

indie means independent, e33 is independent

[high cosmos]

maybe twitter, but im certain i saw it after ch 4. Unless youre talking about the 2024 posts on the developments of chapters 3, 4, and 5

[strange night]

Nintendo is indie too

[viscid wind]

subnautica 2 is not independent

[high cosmos]

small, starving indie companies

[cinder vault]

what makes a game indie what makes it dounle a and what triple a can someone explain in numbers?

[native meadow]

im pretty sure its leans towards AA more than indie

TRUE

it depends on investors

[viscid wind]

instead of indie slop it's triple a slop

[cinder vault]

no i never played lol in my life but yes i do prefer cs valorant rocket league over unfinished boring triple a games

[bold olive]

is it slop?

[loud lily]

hopefully they both get goty and the entire show is revolutionized

[native meadow]

its still an amazing game

[tired oyster]

you're not completely incorrect but the reason some people hesitate to call sandfall an indie studio is that the CEO is, to be completely frank despite the quality of their game, essentially a trust fund nepo-baby that got into the industry with ubisoft through family ties

[strange night]

It's AAA turn based, how could it not be

[viscid wind]

e33 is dependent actually sorryy

[chilly crane]

do do do do do do do do do ddo doo

ok the chat just did a 360 LMAO it was JUST glazing E33

now replace "e33" with "kpop demon hunters" and "not indie" with "quirky" and thats how you mfs sound

hey its all good to have different opinions! did you like hollow knight?

[rugged solstice]

I know bro. I didn't judge it by its cover and its peak. glory to westhelm. now watch fuckin kpop

[bold olive]

my sister forced me to watch it 😭

[viscid wind]

i do not like animated movies

[bold olive]

too based

[strange night]

I referenced a popular brainrot term which is considered to be nsfw

[strange night]

No I joined this server just to talk about how much I hate it

[bold olive]

yea that was dumb ass question lmao

[rugged solstice]

Did you watch it?

[viscid wind]

you used to get banned for that???

[tired oyster]

i think pretending like AAA games are never good or innovative in any way is severely undercutting and undervaluing the creatives that work in that side of the industry, there are a lot of incredibly bland formulaic AAA games, that much is true, but there are also a lot of really incredible ones still coming out and being made by people who genuinely care about the art form they work in and thankfully work under companies that at the very least allow them to do things they actually want to do

[sly root]

[bold olive]

i thought it was fine. the animation was AMAZING tho. of course its gonna be tho, its made by the same people who animated spiderman into the spiderverse and across the spiderverse

[cinder vault]

50% of AAA Games look ai generated

[strange night]

Well it was really because I had a lot of logs and once you have enough the mods will ban you for just about any offense

[shell bough]

i heard it became the most watched netflix movie ever, did you like it? think it’s worth watching?

[strange night]

Person who hates k pop doesn't like k pop movie, breaking news

[cinder vault]

logs? u mean like these warnings? cus i have 2 now

[viscid wind]

what is wrong with logarithms

[strange night]

Warnings and mutes, yeah

[viscid wind]

no it's not

[tired oyster]

have you ever considered that maybe it's the reverse because AI scrapes the internet to generate images and there are a lot of images of triple A games online

[rugged solstice]

See the thing about disliking TV shows is that it';s socially acceptable to give an opinion on it without watching the whole thing, especially if it's many seasons long. But to give a FULL OPINION on a 2 hour movie you didn't finish is ridiculous.

[viscid wind]

i know a lot of people who hate hollow knight specifically because of me

[cinder vault]

idk idc

[bold olive]

i mean if you like musicals you’ll like it. i am not that big of a fan of em, but it wasnt rancid or anything. it was just fine imo

[viscid wind]

Allegedly

[vivid belfry]

I convinced a friend to buy hollow knight after his most anticipated game got pushed back because of silksong

[strange night]

Why would you make him spend money on slop...

[rugged solstice]

even moistcritical, hater of musicals, said kpop was "pretty good", which is about the highest praise you can receive from that man on a musical

[bold olive]

i could NEVER get my friend to play hk

[tired oyster]

i wouldn't really say either of those were particularly revolutionary, and also they are still relatively new games. you can't be expecting things that are revolutionary to an art medium to be coming out every year. that's just not how it works

[bold olive]

he hates solo player games

[cinder vault]

isnt he a musician too?

[strange night]

Personally I need to watch a 20 minute video of him speaking in a monotone voice to be able to form an opinion on a topic

[viscid wind]

tried to convince a friend to play hollow knight and got muted for a week i fear

[vivid belfry]

Wow

[rugged solstice]

actually based

[bold olive]

i mean i think dk Banaza was a fantastic game. only reason im happy i got a switch 2

[sly root]

||Nsfw||

[tired oyster]

and discounting a piece of art just because it doesn't shake the foundation of its medium is also incredibly lame

[scarlet urchin]

i'm so cooked. i have been saving 30 bucks from chores or the past month, and my mouse just broke. now i have to buy a new one instead of buying silksng. it's so over.

[harsh yarrow]

What game were they anticipating?

[shell bough]

not really a fan of musicals either but i’ll probably check it out later just for the hype

[rugged solstice]

My friend almost gave up on Hollow Knight before Mantis Lords. The other day he beat Pantheon 5

[tired oyster]

things don't have to be revolutionary to be really good

u can make 30 in like a day..

yea i would say its good to watch just to have knowledge about it tbh

if u work for a day anywhere u will get atleast 30$ are u serious? even if ur a minor

easy, they don't make anything worth playing anyways

do people trust a random kid. apparently my phone decided to just not ype half my message.

idc if thats real or not, i just know keanu is a really good guy man. so rare to see good people in hollywood

if you're an unemployed minor typing on a computer right now then your parents love you enough to give you a computer so surely 30 bucks for peak isn't too much to ask

I don't know about you guys but I hope there's a nosk like boss in silksong

I wouldn't be able to beleive it if I was a fan from back in the day, but sadly I played Hollow Knight in 2024

[whole frost]

STEAL CHILD, STEAL

[bold olive]

i mean everyone can have their own opinions imo. we should never attack someone for what they think

[cinder vault]

cause the playerbase consists like prob 70% of minors

[scarlet urchin]

not for me. not trying to ragebait, just explain myslef. i live in a community of people who barely trust their own dogs ot not eat them, so...

[young saffron]

wrong wrong WRONG

[formal sapphire]

its 96 of my currency bro i could get myself like 15 red chikkers from McDonalds with that kind of money

[tame granite]

No

[tired oyster]

i'm not denying that there are a lot of good indie games out there, i'm saying that disregarding an entire side of the artistic medium of video games as valid art just because they're made under a large company like people online love to do is just as bad as disregarding all indie games and only playing triple A games because indie games don't have the most up to date graphics

[bold olive]

idk i just personally try to treat everyone with kindness yk?

[cinder vault]

didnt say that just gave him a idea

[scarlet urchin]

parents too poor. sadly we can barely spare 30 dollars, and they spend it on me, which i am so unbelievably grateful for.

mcdonalds is so ahh bro💔

i wish hollow knight had skippable credits

Not when the family is struggling

[strange night]

I love money but I hate having a job

id just buy some shitty office mouse for a 2-3 dollars atp , matter of fact thats what im using rn

at least after the first playthrough, having to watch 5 minutes of credits gets really old after 10 times

Subnautica is AAA and that game is goated

[young saffron]

chatgpt got your back

[formal sapphire]

i could buy like 30 pepsis for the price of silksong, im lowk just waiting till its on sale

[cinder vault]

there are lots of AAA games which are goated

Only if the doubters treated the beleivers with kindness at first, and yes it is that personal to me tips fedora and swishes plastic katana in the air

[tame granite]

ive heard too many glaze of subnautica and never played it yet

[viscid wind]

i want to see the run time and % to take a screenshot!

[bold olive]

fire lmao

[strange night]

I work in a liquor store, unfortunately ai can't replace me just yet 😔

[tidal ruin]

Its fun I do recommend

[young saffron]

just buy the big pepsi bottle vro

[scarlet urchin]

could, but i'm almost positive the game is gonna be 30 dollars minimum, so... spending ANY of it is gonna lock me out of buying it.

[tame granite]

30 pepsis aint giving you silksong bro✌️

[rugged solstice]

Wait.. is any kid here actually too broke or not privileged enough to get Silksong?
Like, presumably everyone here has already played the first one, so you either have a computer or a console that you played Hollow Knight on
And therefore your parents loved you enough and were finanically stable enough to provide you with one of those devices OR loved you enough to let you use the family computer, where they bought Hollow Knight for you

[formal sapphire]

i can pirate silksong i cant pirate a pepsi ✌️

[young saffron]

whats your country if you dont mind me asking? if you are a third world country (like me) theres no way itll cost 30$

[scarlet urchin]

edited for poor wording.

[viscid wind]

there is no way silksong is 30 bucks minimum

[young saffron]

hell hollow knight is 7 dollars for me

[bold olive]

alright i gotta go back to uni, its been fun chatting, yall have a good day

[scarlet urchin]

USA.

[tame granite]

you cant exactly pirate a pepsi, but theres other way✌️

[young saffron]

fuck

[echo bone]

That's a sale

[teal cedar]

how much is hkss gonna be ?

[versed pollen]

I can pirate pepsi

[strange night]

I'd expect skong to be like $20-25

[viscid wind]

having any criminal record locks me out of having any future

[tidal ruin]

Situations vary, lives change, its not fair to judge how someone's life has to be based on a possession they have

[young saffron]

did u mean steal? cause the games normally 7 for me without sale lol (its 3.50 dollars on a sale)

[cinder vault]

im convinced it will either be 20 or 15

[formal sapphire]

20 doola

[livid rain]

The question is… will Silksong have any editions to it? Or just be Standard?

[echo bone]

Getting a laptop and getting a game are two different things

[viscid wind]

WE DONT KNOW wrong reply

[runic adder]

They’d smell you a mile away and stop you first

[cinder vault]

standart

[rugged solstice]

While true that may be for some, I think we've just created an echo chamber of talking about being too broke for the game

[strange night]

Is this a wrong reply moment

[rugged solstice]

Kids looking forward to silksong have presumably played the first one

[versed pollen]

They absolutely would not

[scarlet urchin]

I mean, Hollow Knight is 15, but that was just because it had no fanbase when it first came out besides kickstarters. Silksong has the fanbase, is twice as big supposedly, and they know people will still buy it, since 30 dollars is just on the edge of being too expensive to "just try,"

[echo bone]

No I meant to say it's half sale. It's currently half the price it used to be on steam

[runic adder]

I mean I can smell you from where I am

[viscid wind]

can you consider that tc is not evil and greedy

[versed pollen]

That's not me you're smelling something else. Like maybe your cat farted really bad or something

[lucid nebula]

Im fairly exited for silksong

[echo bone]

Yes and they presumably pirated it

[strange night]

Can you consider that team cherry is a AAA studio, very greedy it rivals nintnedo

[vivid belfry]

People love to harp on AAA pricing patterns as if it's done out of malice and not because they have ludicrously expensive development cycles

[fiery burrow]

Why would you not want to support pepsi

[echo bone]

Not everyone can pay in dollars

[teal cedar]

i mean if you want to try just buy the first one no ?

[scarlet urchin]

i mean, yeah. but selling the gamefor 30 USD doesn't sound greedy to me at all. it sounds reasonable, actually.

[vivid belfry]

And yes, that is also a problem, but it's not the one you're talking about

[runic adder]

She didn’t, girls don’t fart

[versed pollen]

I dunno. I just like getting things for free

[azure reef]

When will the price be revealed?

[rugged solstice]

Yeah but the issue is many of these ludicrous development cycles end with some slop at the end

[strange night]

When you stop asking

[fiery burrow]

Pepsi is priceless so fair enough

[cold otter]

Yall think I can finish Hollw Knigjt before Silksong?

[young saffron]

6 days from now

[viscid wind]

30 dollars is a lot of money for a lot of people

[azure reef]

My ansiety dont allow this 😭

[fiery burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-16258174987336597266

[viscid wind]

just fucking pirate it if you care so much???

[strange night]

Anyway you should all go play fantasy life 3ds anyway, much better than silksong

[azure reef]

I know, i AM only asking to fight with my ansiety

[formal sapphire]

30 doolars? what do you need 20 doolars for?

[cinder vault]

tc made like 250mil as 3 devs and one musician i dont think they need that much money and they are not stupid they know how supply and demand works. there will be way less people and especially new people who will buy it if its 30 instead of 20 or 15

[rugged solstice]

30 dollars would be a perfectly reasonable price point given the game market

[runic adder]

What if the AAA game is good though

[vivid belfry]

This is a whole lot of words to say nothing

[tidal ruin]

Hyper realistic graphics are actually more of a turnoff for me in gaming
Doesn't mean I never play them, but I much prefer more cartoon-y style games

[teal cedar]

blud 💔

[rugged solstice]

they made like 80 mil after taxes and store cuts but yeah

[sacred halo]

then it means my intestines will collapse

[azure reef]

True

[vivid belfry]

That's not really relevant

[strange night]

Are you twelve

[scarlet urchin]

i have Hollow Knight already. i bought it back in 2019 when we weren't doing so poorly. i was just thinking about it from the perspective of someone else. some people will buy silksong first since it isn't, like, an explicit sequel.

[fiery burrow]

Realistic graphics are great with good art direction, see Half Life 2

[median ivy]

silksong in some tomorrows i lost count

[cold otter]

Yall think I can finish Hollw Knigjt before Silksong? Yall think I can finish Hollw Knigjt before Silksong?

[tidal ruin]

One, silksong tomorrow

[native meadow]

considering other game prices its not bad for something 6 years in development on day 1

[viscid wind]

every piece of marketing material says it's a sequel

[cinder vault]

may i ask in what country u live?

[tired oyster]

there is absolutely an element of greed to it but not in the way people tend to talk about it yeah. the prices aren't set that way just because, they're set that way because studios are making more and more unreasonable demands of their developers in terms of production cost, deadlines, and general expectations

[young saffron]

where u at rn?

[strange night]

The silksong of tomorrow, today!

[cinder vault]

ye but not tc

[median ivy]

if you lock in

[cold otter]

Just beat the mantis lords

[high osprey]

good graphics are everything.

[teal cedar]

yes but people have to buy the first one if they are like not brain dead or smth

[cinder vault]

how much do u play a day

[cold otter]

Idk 5

[tired oyster]

games are getting more expensive because making games is getting more expensive because these companies never stop trying to one up each other

[cinder vault]

not everything but a huge point def

[vivid belfry]

I mean you replied to me and didn't actually say anything that related to my message

[teal cedar]

???

[sacred halo]

1264892147890127 hours

[viscid wind]

it takes like 20 minutes to reach n kill mantis lords from the beginning of the game

[rugged solstice]

Big studios care more about quarterly earnings than quality products, so they weigh early releases much more than finished products.

[cinder vault]

then yes u will make it probaly

[young saffron]

are you trying to max 112% the game or just beat it? if the latter you can do it in 1 week for sure.

Full completion though? I dont think so even with 5 hours a day on average people take 50 hours I think lol

[native meadow]

oh it is? i thought since every ending in hollow knight is canon that SS would be prequel but hell yeah

[versed pollen]

Graphics are the entire video. If a game does not have good graphics it is nothing

[runic adder]

Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring, I don’t fucking know there’s plenty of good AAA games out there

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.

[cinder vault]

ye on ur 3 playthrough maybe but not on ur first

[tidal ruin]

"Sequel as in the 2nd hollow knight game" (incase it wasn't said already I don't like scrolling)

[fiery burrow]

Valve is AAA

[scarlet urchin]

i think they mean it as in "the second hollow knight game," not "this taks place chronologically after the first one." that's what i meant by explicit. it isn't EXPLICITLY sequential to the lore of the first game.

[cinder vault]

rockstar games

[rich haven]

Leth actually confirmed this

[native meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/he-aintlyin-preach-truth-facts-tho-gif-15825744

[cold otter]

I’m just trying to beat it. But I will feel like I will be exhausted if I play it a lot before Silksong

[cinder vault]

didnt they only make cs1/2?

[median ivy]

elden ring

[fiery burrow]

And Half Life and Portal

[tired oyster]

you are absolutely a child holy shit

[teal cedar]

it is bc hornet got in the jail by the strange guys just after defeating the hollow knight

[fiery burrow]

TF2 and Deadlock as well

[rugged solstice]

good bait, keep it going

[runic adder]

Do you think there are good games among the many many AAA games that exist

[cinder vault]

cus i have a life? okay sorry

[viscid wind]

just ignore the ragebait

[sage umbra]

didn't the developers said every ending is canon in Hollow Knight to Silksong?

[native meadow]

same- im just letting the hype fester

[young saffron]

they made 🤢 dota 🤮 (and the half life series, portal etc)

[tired oyster]

lol. lmao.

[cinder vault]

oh right i remmeber that game

[strange night]

They made 😍 dota 🤩

[sacred halo]

Half life so cool

[dusk pilot]

Yeah that should eliminate all the good games they made

[rich haven]

They said that every ending is canon, but that was before Silksong was announced

[tidal ruin]

Even when we do find out it takes place afterwards, something that happens after another thing doesn't have to be a sequel

[scarlet urchin]

portal mentioned! great games.

[rugged solstice]

i tried Doom Bots last night that shit is hard as fuck

[rich haven]

As far as I'm aware, atleast

[runic adder]

How many AAA games have you played

[scarlet urchin]

wheatley should be thrown into a pit though.

[cinder vault]

dota

[fiery burrow]

Anyway TL;DR pirate indies and buy AAAs

[rich haven]

Facts

[rugged solstice]

[sage umbra]

Makes me think that Silksong took a place before Hallownest actually?

[young saffron]

valve could get an award for multiplayer slop. Dota, CS, TF2 and deadlock

[median ivy]

devil may cry 3
devil may cry 5
doom 2016

[vivid belfry]

They said every ending was canon and that they would account for this in any future hollow knight content

[runic adder]

Yeah

[versed pollen]

AAA and Indie are not actually indications of team size or publishing relations. Merely argumentative material I use to dictate things that I like and do not like, based on nothing but vibes. If I think a game is boring, cozy, and empty, then it must be indie. If it is lifeless, meaningless, but grand, then it must be AAA.

[scarlet urchin]

bait used to be believable.

[rich haven]

"accounting for" could totally mean pulling a prequel

[sacred halo]

chat, what if Hornet takes some weird bug juice and then hallucinates Sherma as Cyberdemon and the hallucination says "If you're Doomguy then I'm BOOMGUY!", because you know, the Cyberdemon shoots rockets and rockets go BOOM?

[teal cedar]

70 actually i think 😭

[sage umbra]

Surely though Hollow Knight will have some connections with Silksong since it's their second game.

[rich haven]

If I'm doomguy

And you're boomguy

Then who's watching foxy?

[vivid belfry]

I mean it could hypothetically but there's no evidence for it

[rugged solstice]

what if we just dont debate prequel vs sequel for the 700th time and wait one week

[hot cosmos]

whose angry bird no 2?

[strange night]

Oh well that's because gamefreak sucks lol! They rush a game and then sell it for $60+dlc and people buy it anyway

[fiery burrow]

bro thinks the arguments will stop in one week

[native meadow]

if the next gen is like scarlet and violet i think ima retire

[neat palm]

They finally proved it wasn’t vaporware ❤️

[rugged solstice]

what we should really talk about is how mid Terraria is

[vivid belfry]

There is some evidence for sequel which puts it over prequel odds by 100%

[sacred halo]

The black bomb one. I forgor 💀 his names
Edit: His name is Bomb 💀

[tidal ruin]

At least one returning character, and it takes place in the same universe
It's not a sequel, but its the 2nd game

[stray bridge]

Guys does anybody have the most vile, brain rotting, nonsensical meme ever.
I need it for business purposes

[strange night]

Chuck I think

[high osprey]

yes they are

[sacred halo]

no, bomb

[hot cosmos]

aight understandable have a nice day

[teal cedar]

this is one of the reason indies are much better, bc they make games for the love of making a game and not money

[strange night]

Gurt: yo

[hot cosmos]

yea it is bomb

[stray bridge]

Need a pic

[fiery burrow]

Do you think AAA games are made by shareholders and not game developers?

[cold otter]

I just pre ordered Silksong!

[rich haven]

I lied this meme is peak

[runic adder]

I would recommend playing some there are some out there that are fun, indie games are awesome but you’re missing out on a lot by only sticking with them

[stray bridge]

Absolutely perfect
Thanks for this

[sacred halo]

ORAORAORAOAROAROORA MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA YO ANGELO YO ANGELO 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[versed pollen]

Not a single indie developer has ever made a game with the intention of making money

[opaque sigil]

It’s funny how it’s turned into a weird virtue signal thing to pretend that aaa games don’t have devs who also care about the artistic work they put out

[teal cedar]

i did not say that i mean there is like 70% of aaa now that are just made for money

[stray bridge]

I'll put it to good use

[shell bough]

i just purchased zoteboat

[vivid belfry]

Yes, Ari Gibson was a money golem when he was working under a game studio and he was only ensouled when he quit

[fiery burrow]

Fascinating. Where did you get this conclusion?

[tired oyster]

people have gone so far in the direction of graphics not mattering that a certain set of people now act like a game having high graphical fidelity is automatically a bad thing. i think the focus on hyper-realism in games is a little lame but things can can have high graphical fidelity and in fact still have good art direction. literally look at expedition 33 for the most recent example of that

[strange night]

Could you cite the sources you got these numbers from please?

[cinder vault]

same but why do u even have a ss character as ur pfp

[echo bone]

This is half true because while they make the game with love, they still need to make money off it

[void moat]

well because hes epic

and i spoiled myself too much for silksong

[native meadow]

ever since the release date trailer ive kept away from all analysis vids

[fiery burrow]

I <3 indie contrarianism

[cinder vault]

i only watched the official trailers and i think thats already too much

[teal cedar]

i just said a random number lol but yeah its around that bc of the cod, fifa, pokemon now and a lot of others

[versed pollen]

Indie is just an aesthetic anyways there's no such thing as an independent developer

[echo bone]

I just wanna see seth

[sage umbra]

I guess so yeah, but do "universe" here have any other vague meanings i'm not getting or no?

[strange night]

I think unreal engine is slop

[void moat]

same, the only thing ive held out on is looking at the map, thats WAY too much even for me

[runic adder]

Different people feel different about things

[fiery burrow]

They call themselves independent and yet sell their games in other nations. Curious.

[sacred halo]

He maybe epic, but he's not ass Jim

[sacred halo]

how about I sell you to other nations

[native meadow]

i was lowkey pissed that they showed the map

[runic adder]

I don’t care too much about spoilers personally

[cinder vault]

i talked about myself not about others.

[tidal ruin]

Nah, basically just means they take place in the same fictional world, in the sense that elden ring would take place in a different one

[cold otter]

Silksong is the new video game! Releasing September 4!

[rugged solstice]

Call of Duty vs. compressing game files. Name a better matchup

[vivid belfry]

TC has been reusing the same areas and bosses in trailers for 7 years, I'm sure they haven't shown off anything they think we shouldn't have seen too early

[tired oyster]

it's so obnoxious. which side of the industry makes good stuff is not a zero sum problem, the reality is that there are a lot of bad games and a lot of good games on both sides of the industry

[royal cave]

I got tricked by silkpost

[sacred halo]

that's honestly lame.

[vivid belfry]

The context of discovering and learning these things is gonna be a completely unrelated experience to seeing short clips chopped together

[royal cave]

It looked pretty convincing

[sacred halo]

can I see it?

[rugged solstice]

april 9th???//?/

[royal cave]

THIS IS SILKPOST, IT IS NOT REAL

[cinder vault]

the story telling will prob be so much better with hornet speaking cus that means more dialogue prob

[versed pollen]

This is obviously fake because the date isn't June 12th

[tired oyster]

half the shitty mobile games you see that are complete overstimulating slop are by definition indie games, and even outside of that there are a lot of indie games that just aren't very good because making a good game is hard

[royal cave]

I went to check the steam page and there wasn't any price

[strange night]

If you give me $40 I'll buy you silksong (real) (not scam) (ok it's a scam)

[rugged solstice]

least obvious dig bait:

[sacred halo]

Unrelated, but April 2 this year was my birthday(nintendo direct skong announcement)

[void moat]

this is true, but imo it still wouldve been nice to go in blind
sadly it is entirely my fault ive spoiled myself (aside from that one person who showed me the steam cards)

[runic adder]

That would be so easy to make

[sacred halo]

This doesn't look convincing to me. Maybe if the image was of higher res

[gray lichen]

spoiler, silksong have hornet playable

[strange night]

Spoiler, I'm awesome

[sacred halo]

spoiler, I am inside your walls

[versed pollen]

[teal cedar]

[versed pollen]

Do you think Dyno deleted your message for no reason

[strange night]

If the bot censored your message, then what made you think it's a good idea to resend it as an image?

[runic adder]

If your message gets deleted by automod why would you screenshot it and post it

[tidal ruin]

This counts as bypassing swear filter btw

since when?

Since the server was made

since literally always

[sacred halo]

what was the situation? The screenshot got deleted?

[full rune]

makes perfect sense, if we censor a word, going around it would nullify the entire reasoning of the word filter alone

[marsh ibex]

mfw the role that exists to be pinged is pinged (for some reason the pinger is going to hell)

not before he pinged them? do you not have any concept of progression of time and events happening in sequence?

[versed pollen]

There ALWAYS has been!!! 😭 😭 😭 😭

[sacred halo]

hey man, I wasn't aware because in most servers this meant the user would get kicked right away. I read the rules and I it didn't have one specified regarding mods being pinged

[strange night]

Yeah you can't say H E double hockey sticks or the f word

[obsidian owl]

ok but can i say fuck still

get diffed nerd

[versed pollen]

Yes that would be because the swear filter blocks slurs and nsfw terms

[opaque sigil]

[tidal ruin]

Next they're gonna tell us we can't be offtopic in ss-discussuon lmao

[void moat]

specifically women?? no problem with guys??

[obsidian owl]

oh that

[rugged solstice]

there's a filter that likely prohibits anything implying racism, bigotry, freaky time, and the like

[versed pollen]

No.....

[frail dew]

how big in terms of file size do yall think silksong is gonna be?
For comparassion, Hollowknight is around 7,5 GB

[fiery burrow]

"And the worst part is that maybe some gay people weren't even offended by my post, but rather white girls who think they have to stand up for everyone they see. If something disgusts me, it's that." 😭

Hollow knight isnt 7.5gb vro 😭

[young saffron]

I hope its 120 gb with 110 gb being completely unnecessary

[void moat]

once skong releases theyre gonna update this channel to be skong only and thousands will be punished flr continuing to stay offtopic

[rugged solstice]

Silksong will be 5 megabytes. they really compressed their game down

[cinder vault]

it will be atleast 1 mb

[lusty gull]

8GB on steam

[obsidian owl]

oh dolm is back

[full rune]

hollow knight is not around 7.5 GB filesize

[sacred halo]

@opaque sigil I apoligize for my rude comments. I wasn't familiar with the rules of this server and it was my fault

[royal cave]

Silksong will be around 5gb imo

[strange night]

[frail dew]

im so happy about this information

[cinder vault]

thats the geo miner

[safe plinth]

guys will silksong use hollow knight save file?

[strange night]

I hope it installs every localization of the game and includes the entire game in each localization instead of just the translations

[opaque sigil]

oh I thought you meant somebody mad about women being homophobic not about women not liking homophobes

[cinder vault]

no

[dusk quail]

I honestly wouldnt mind if it was 35 CAD because its worth it

No

[versed pollen]

Zal is too old for social media I don't think he knows how to use anything other than iMessage

yeah i'm a redditor howd u know

my theory is that silksong will cost money

[rugged solstice]

just a hunch i guess

[fiery burrow]
