[tight viper]

Enough players to make it realistically achievable

[normal bramble]

Last unlock of act 2

[subtle lynx]

18-1 btw

[tight viper]

It’s unlikely but it’s realistic, like The Mist being your route for the first time you reach Act 2

[normal bramble]

Ya the mist is VERY realistic

[subtle lynx]

Unlikely and unrealistic mean the same thing in this context btw

[normal bramble]

Because the wall for it really obvious in sinners road

[tight viper]

Calling it completely unrealistic is just not true and erases the fact that this is a metroidvania that encourages exploration

[normal bramble]

Its right above the bench

[willow turtle]

I honestly thought first sinner would be extremely hard before i fought her due to what i have seen from others

[exotic dome]

i dont remember this enemy existing outside of the voltessel gauntlet

[subtle lynx]

It is unrealistic to expect people to get rune rage in not late act 2 or act 3 even

[tight viper]

They don’t mean the same thing

[normal bramble]

And it’s really easy to just stumble into sinners road

[subtle lynx]

It isn't

[timid valve]

I went through cleared Sinner's Road like 5 times, and neither found Bilewater or the Mist

[subtle lynx]

It's in a random wall in a random room

[normal bramble]

The room for it is upwards from the bench

So if you leave the bench then go upwards and head towards you left

[subtle lynx]

I found it naturally, but I think most people won't

[normal bramble]

Which isn’t that crazy

[normal bramble]

I also did

[tight viper]

Unlikely means not likely but possible. Unrealistic means fairly impossible

[normal bramble]

It was one of the first things I found in sinners road

There’s also a chest above you when you enter

And the way to get the chest leads you to the breakable wall

[tight viper]

Unrealistic is contrary to reality, and the reality is players have gotten Rune Rage in early-mid Act 2

[normal bramble]

The mist is a very realistic area to get to

Because the game gives you quite a few hints to go that way once your in sinners road*

The only thing is “do you see the breakable wall on the way to the chest”

[tight viper]

Yeah, there’s a reason why the left half of the room exists

[willow turtle]

Clover dancers is killing me

[tight viper]

And the wall’s fairly visible

[exotic dome]

hard asf

[normal bramble]

They literally tempt you with rosaries

[tight viper]

Compared to other walls

[normal bramble]

To go to the left side

[worldly lake]

-find whiteward key (literally lying around in songclave, who is missing that)
-explore whiteward (if you find whiteward key obviously the logical next step is to use it in whiteward)
-explore underworks and get to clawline (genuinely the first thing people get after beating the cogwork dancers, whiteward isn't even necessary)
-find the slab (basically just explore choral chambers it's not that hard)
-go to mount fay (a person sees the clawline rings, obviously they're gonna use the clawline rings)
-get faydown cloak (climb the mountain, get cloak)
-go to memorium and find the secret entrance (i'll admit the secret passage is a bit hard to find but the breakable wall is the most obvious thing ever)
-find the key in ducts (obviously when you find a new area you're gonna explore)
-go back to the slab (most players are going to remember "ohh this is the key i need for the slab")
-find first sinner (also hard i admit but most playthroughs i've watched found the hidden passage when they enter the room)
-beat it (well yeah if you find a boss you're gonna try to beat it)

[graceful oyster]

I cast peanut butter in ear canal on everyone in chat rn

[worldly lake]

DAMMIT

[subtle lynx]

Yeah, do all of these things WHILE NOT being in late act 2, yeah ok

[worldly lake]

it's not that much of a stretch

[subtle lynx]

I think I'm theory I'm right, and in practice most people in here and from what I've seen (18) also back me up

[subtle lynx]

That's because you're just not considering everything you can do in act 2

[worldly lake]

in fact i'd say it's a pretty plausible series of events

[subtle lynx]

And that are also presented by the game as more important

[tight viper]

18-1 means it’s unlikely, not unrealistic. Calling it unrealistic is just dumb

[normal bramble]

Im being so real I don’t think a lot of people are finding that memorium room until the merchant quest makes you go there

[subtle lynx]

Also, already doing all of this will put you in mid act 2 naturally

So yeah

You have to explore a bunch of areas and get a bunch of items + everything else you will find naturally

[tight viper]

Calling this unrealistic when an experience has done exactly this discounts that experience in your eyes, and leads to you forming the assumption that your experience must be the default for everyone

[worldly lake]

fair

[subtle lynx]

Memorium was the last area I've explored in act2, so I had already the quest lying around there for a while before that

[subtle lynx]

18-1

[graceful oyster]

Unrealistic implies it's not liable to occur naturally and that's not true

[sharp slate]

I got run rage mid-late as well

[graceful oyster]

Unlikely is the right word here

[worldly lake]

even so, is it that much of a stretch for this specific series of events to be unlikely

[tight viper]

Indeed, but Fratute seems to think they’re synonyms

[sharp slate]

i went to rune rage pre putrafied ducts and memorium

[subtle lynx]

Yes, very much of a stretch

[worldly lake]

there are many different paths you can take

[steep jolt]

@thick crystal theres this cool feature called messaging where you dont need to react with like 8 emojis instead you can type a message

not being rude btw

[graceful oyster]

Peanut butter and maple syrup on pancakes is the only way to go about it

[subtle lynx]

To get rune rage? No, in silksong? Yes, which makes this even more unlikely

@moderators ban everyone

[sharp slate]

Im honestly not sure tbh, I think it depends on the platform which is weird, but you cant really do age restrictions per platform, at least not easily

[graceful oyster]

Anyway, the previous generations' perceptions define "worse" as whatever is not normal to them and that almost always discludes the newest gen as being good

[crisp pier]

twitter/X

[sharp slate]

Eyo good luck, fun boss fight though easier imo

[sharp slate]

Hit reddit as well

Reddit for anyone under 16 is just horrible for them imo

Tbh its bad for anyone even above 16 tbh, but at least it has some uses...

[crisp pier]

And discord! (im turning 16)

[fiery burrow]

Reddit is particularly bad with echochambers

[graceful oyster]

Reddit is a very good way to get information out there

[unkempt steeple]

Which one do you giys prefer silksong's playstyle specific crest and tool system or hollow knight's more unrestrained build making charm system

[uneven tendon]

Hk

Hk is better, but very close

[unkempt steeple]

I'm still debating which one I prefer

[fiery burrow]

The fanarts of characters being against ICE are so annoying bruh

[still osprey]

Silksong's crest and tool system and it's not even close

[fiery burrow]

Go to a protest like a normal person instead of flooding game subreddits with slacktivist posts 😭

[uneven tendon]

The crest system is alright

[sharp slate]

Both serve their purpose tbh, I like both. Don't think i got s favorite though skong is more balanced

[uneven tendon]

Beast crest is amazing

[graceful oyster]

Heh, slacktivist, that's funny

[uneven tendon]

But only one blue slot sucks

[still osprey]

Charms are so unbalanced it's actually stupid

[uneven tendon]

I like kingsoul

Kingsoul is better

[still osprey]

There's 3 charms that stand out and the rest are basically useless in comparison

[leaden delta]

The former in theory

[uneven tendon]

I use it for p5

[sharp slate]

I honestly think charms aren't that unbalanced, theirs a lot of bad ones. But because godhome exists it highlights the meta

[leaden delta]

if I had to pick one of them

[uneven tendon]

Debatable

[unkempt steeple]

Well I was refering to the systems themselves becuse I know charms in reality are very "there's one build worth putting on"

[leaden delta]

ideally I’d mix crests with the more lax notch system

[uneven tendon]

Grimmchild is amazing is great cuz you get a buddy

[graceful oyster]

Yeah

Crests good, notches good

[leaden delta]

but yes I prefer notches way more over what ss did

[uneven tendon]

Same for weaverlings and womb

[unkempt steeple]

I love the way crests change your nail attacks and abilities but I prefer the way charms allowed for more freedom of choice

[sharp slate]

I think once godhome exists for skong we will have the same meta we see in hk

[fiery burrow]

They had such good balancing then they added volt filament 🥹

[normal bramble]

Welp time to go the ducts

[sharp slate]

Though healing crests get alot more appreciation in skong

[uneven tendon]

Silksong is an amazing game, but I think it tries to do so much

[uneven tendon]

And see hl2 reference

[normal bramble]

Mostly because I wanna get the flea maps, also seeing vog on the marrow flea quest seems funny

[leaden delta]

not merely freedom, but a bigger expansion of what tc could do with varied costs. in ss everything has to be on the same power level, which makes it feel way more ass for amulets

Now obviously qs 3 notch but! not the point

[summer ridge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1416135184453079102/1451092183527719032/togif.gif

[fiery burrow]

What's interesting I think is how laser focused HK was on creating an interesting map

[sharp slate]

Fair. I think they could have trimmed quest boards and shell shard system from the game tbh

[uneven tendon]

Yeah

[unkempt steeple]

In late game the yellow slots feel very pointless and only having three blue slots in each charm kinda forces a more "combo+something else random" type of build

[sharp slate]

Just give quests through npcs get rid useless ones

[uneven tendon]

I hate that shards have a limit

[graceful oyster]

If I had your giant feet
Out there on the beach
I could have outran those birds

[rancid stag]

hello eberybody

[unkempt steeple]

True...

[fiery burrow]

Enemies weren't that interesting neither were a lot of bosses because they were working with a limited budget and mostly focused on creating a great map for like the 3ish years HK was in development

[uneven tendon]

Hi

[fiery burrow]

Silksong in comparison has much better combat/platforming but the map is a lot less interesting

[sharp slate]

Yes its like 2 yellow slots max is needed

[summer ridge]

fym better platforming i use rulers to measure my jumps

[tight hull]

most yellow tools are useless, now with wanderer crest + yellow vesticrest idk what I'm even going to do

[astral olive]

Mechanically or aesthetically?

[uneven tendon]

Yeah, the combat in silksong feels very smooth, whilst the hk combat feels very rigid

[fiery burrow]

Mechanically

[graceful oyster]

Silksong's reliance on breakable walls is kinda disgusting

[uneven tendon]

Yess

[sharp slate]

I like the map alot skong I think for movement, but it doesn't feel as interconnected as hks, everything feels isolated

[fiery burrow]

I only did like 3 playthroughs of Silksong tbf but my impression is that the map is more linear and quest progression really gives you less freedom than HK1 or say MIO

[summer ridge]

gur

[uneven tendon]

It's so annoying having to hit every wall at least once when your trimming the map for those last few percentages

[desert elk]

I just smack anything that looks slightly like a crack

[fiery burrow]

I like breakable walls but Bilewater is crazy cuz the breakable wall is in an area you have like zero real incentive to backtrack to

[uneven tendon]

Me too

[sharp slate]

I like the way nine sols did secret rooms, they didnt have alot, but best way imo.

[unkempt steeple]

4 yellow tools when like a third of (the already small pool of) yellow tools are non-combat related and the rest aren't really that good either so you're very limited on what to put on

[uneven tendon]

Nine sols is very fun, I'm about an hour and a half in and it's very good so far

[tight hull]

the use of the silksoar is so bad

[uneven tendon]

What goes in your vesticrest?

[graceful oyster]

When I watch people play Mio who previously played Silksong, they hit every single wall constantly despite never seeing one in-game
It's like trauma, because they had to in Silksong

[sharp slate]

Insanely good, I just finished it two days ago, so glad I went in blind

[uneven tendon]

For me, its dice and mask

[desert elk]

Next game after Silksong for me

Im gonna try every souls type game I can

[graceful oyster]

Nine Sols is aight I see why people like it so much

[astral olive]

I can see that. I think it's built to be played at a run.

That necessitates somewhat less intricate map design (in the sense that Pharloom has way more big open spaces that allow Hornet to vault and sprint and float all around)

[uneven tendon]

I'm doing ultrakill rn, then I'll move to nine sols

[graceful oyster]

I may play it someday but the story and combat system don't click with me

[willow turtle]

YEA I KILLED CLOVER DANCERS

[desert elk]

Its kinda why I like Silksong and Hollow Knight
The npcs and art style are awesome

[fiery burrow]

Yeah def

[willow turtle]

FINALLY

[desert elk]

I forgot those ones

there is like two dancers at least

[uneven tendon]

Good job!

[desert elk]

Good job though

[graceful oyster]

I want to buy Nine Sols, learn how to beat the final boss, and then refund it

[uneven tendon]

I beat them in my first try

[unkempt steeple]

The yellow/blue tool system seems cool on a first playthrough to seperate your QoL/exploration tools from your combat tools but like as soon as you get to act 3 or replay the game they just feel like wastes of space

[uneven tendon]

What goes in your vesticrest?

[rancid stag]

i want to replay nine sols die to an easy boss, refund it and play it again

[desert elk]

I beat the last judge a minute ago and now I can do flower quest part two

[willow turtle]

Sawtooth as my blue tool

[uneven tendon]

I use dice and mask

[unkempt steeple]

Dice usually and I don't have anything specific on blue

[graceful oyster]

The skissue loadout

[willow turtle]

Where do you get mask

[desert elk]

Also I love HK but the npcs in this game are funnier

[still osprey]

Dice and Circlet

[graceful oyster]

[unkempt steeple]

But like I used wanderer for most of my playthroughs so dice really didn't need to be in the venticrest

[uneven tendon]

Hunters march?

[still osprey]

Used to be dice and injector band but I just decided I'd git gud™

[uneven tendon]

Yourenkn act 3 and you've not got mask?

[astral olive]

Different, not bad if you enjoy the mechanics of Hornet's movement enough to find the sheer act of moving around entertaining. If you don't, the big open spaces are probably kinda bland and samey

[unkempt steeple]

Dice is like the only tool benifitting from the blue yellow tool split lol

[rough anvil]

Hi guys

[fiery burrow]

I do find it fun I just value map design a bit more

[uneven tendon]

For ||lost lace|| I used brooch for better dice activation

[unkempt steeple]

"Guys carefree melody doesn't suck this time cuz it doesn't waste a good tool's spot"

[rough anvil]

Isnt that a 2% increase

[uneven tendon]

Yeah

Still worth it

Most yellow tools are useless anyway

[still osprey]

That's not how it works btw

[fiery burrow]

The actual like level design is a lot more varied too like comparing Far Fields to Greymoor is a lot bigger of a leap than Crossroads to Greenpath

[still osprey]

Brooch doesn't buff dice at all

Only dice buffs brooch, making rosaries come at you 30% faster

[unkempt steeple]

I think even thematicly wise dice is better than carefree melody becuse why is your reward for completing the grimm master troupe dlc a charm that only slightly helps sometimes and is practicly useless on hitless

[still osprey]

So, gg wasting a yellow slot ig

Not like there's many good yellow tools for combat anyway tho

[rough anvil]

Only 2

3 in steel soul

[still osprey]

Eh, grip is decent too for like, Nyleth or smth

[rough anvil]

This is why vesticrests are lovely

[onyx python]

every time hornet remembers a new technique she has a 10% chance of dying

[unkempt steeple]

Weighted bell, barbed bracelet, dice and I'm not sure I should count brace and anklets

[desert elk]

I kinda like the secret breakable wall stuff cuz it feels rewarding but it can also get excessive but I dont mind it

[astral olive]

It was honestly shocking the amount of biomes during my first playthrough. Like everywhere is visually and aesthetically and thematically distinct, such that you couldn't mistake any parts of the world for another.

[normal bramble]

I just pogo Nyleth and counter whenever she tries to breath

[fiery burrow]

I like breakable walls but Bilewater is just a bit too obscure imo

[desert elk]

I wanna use barbed bracelet but I get hit most times by every enemy so I just need to get better

[unkempt steeple]

I only used it for hitless

[still osprey]

But why pogo when I can clawline -> circlet spam

[desert elk]

I dont even have the map for that place yet

[normal bramble]

Tbf I feel like that’s intended

[unkempt steeple]

We already have flintstate, barbed bracelet feels kinda pointless

[desert elk]

||Also mist scared the shit outta me||

[unkempt steeple]

There's no downside in hitless at all and it's a yellow tool so it's never taking up a better tool's slot

[rough anvil]

I remember trying to go through the mist whitout needolin that was miserable

[desert elk]

I tried all night yesterday

went to sleep and beat it in the morning

[rough anvil]

With or whitout needolin

[desert elk]

the guitar thing?

[rough anvil]

Ye

[normal bramble]

Ya

[rough anvil]

Called needolin isnt handled like a violin

[desert elk]

yeah I used it after seeing the flies react

[rough anvil]

HOW DARE YOU CALL THE LUMAFLIES JUST FLIES.........

[desert elk]

I was like "Wait a minute"

[astral olive]

Mandolin! 😄

[graceful oyster]

Ever heard of a mandolin?

[still osprey]

like this isn't the best Nyleth ever but it sure looks cool enough

[unkempt steeple]

It's kinda just another version of hunter's focus as well since both have a high risk related to taking damage and both buff nail damage

[normal bramble]

Made it to ducts wow

[rough anvil]

[fiery burrow]

I don't think the intention is good

[normal bramble]

Time to get vog

I also just realized I never even picked up the flea quest from the marrow

[fiery burrow]

True ending requirements are already pretty strict and obtuse

[normal bramble]

Tbf one of the fleas requires you to get by the huge drop that leads to bilewater

[rough anvil]

I love bilewater sm

[desert elk]

Also ||Clockwork dancers|| battle was so damn sad

[fiery burrow]

Vog is also very obscure

[normal bramble]

True

[rough anvil]

Groal has all the rights to be a d1 hater i'd be pissed off too

[desert elk]

I just need the map for that place

[normal bramble]

Vog Is so evilly hidden

[graceful oyster]

It was sad until I realized that Green Loser is actually super lame and green and his story is stupid

[normal bramble]

Check if Shakra has it in bellhart

[unkempt steeple]

I kinda wish hunter's focus gradually went down and you had to keep it constantly up by attacking and taking damage only reduced a bit of the focus rather than reseting it entirely

[desert elk]

Good idea actually

[rough anvil]

The only reason hunter's march exists its for the furry crest and karmelita💔💔

[desert elk]

I was wondering if that dude has some special stuff about him considering how much the bots resembled him

[rough anvil]

Lovely mottled skarr

[steep jolt]

it exists cuz of the second most goated red tool curveclaw

[graceful oyster]

Oh you're 1st playthrough I see, I'll avoid spoiling. This channel is extremely spoiler rich btw

[desert elk]

Just like the dream nail im taking the needlin around and playing for all the bugs in the whole area

[desert elk]

Nah I've seen most of the stuff by now its cool

[rough anvil]

True !
There isnt any more of the zone though they shoulda given it more

[graceful oyster]

Oh so you know that Sherma dies

[steep jolt]

i mean it is very small

[steep jolt]

its so sad, thank god they replaced him with pilby tho

[rough anvil]

Im trying to forget entirely of hollow knight so i can redo it with no knowledge agaim

[desert elk]

Wasnt Sherma the kid who playes that bell

[rough anvil]

Sherma dies??

[graceful oyster]

Yeah

[rough anvil]

I have never seen that in like my 13 playthroughs

[steep jolt]

yes? when he tries saving you in the abyss

[normal bramble]

Woah

It’s like that bench that they dropped a whole update for

[unkempt steeple]

Same with shaman exept you had to keep it up using silk skills, it feels kinda boring that it's just a straight free damage bonus rather than something you have to work around (especially when there's a tool that already does that)

[rough anvil]

Oh true poor sherma

I almost cried against lost sherma

[graceful oyster]

It was pretty predictable that they would do another Myla thing but at least this time it had more story weight

[desert elk]

I have yet to be captured by the flies with cages

[normal bramble]

I recommend you do

[potent vessel]

happened on my first playthrough

[normal bramble]

Its actually rather useful

[potent vessel]

genuinely such a cool experience

[desert elk]

both times I just killed em and im wondering whether I should have or not

[steep jolt]

they did it cuz there was a glitch where with bench marker it showed that bench before getting the fleas there

[normal bramble]

And really cool

[rough anvil]

Its only good for faydown cloak
Hate being stripped down to 1 dmg tho

[normal bramble]

Tbf you never actually have to fight like that

[rough anvil]

What about the gauntlet

[normal bramble]

The traps oneshot the enemies

That’s the entire point of it

[desert elk]

The worst part about mist are those scary screaming bugs

[rough anvil]

I know😭😭
Still hate having to walk all through the room

[normal bramble]

#1 most annoying enemy in the game btw

[desert elk]

I got jumpscared the first time I saw one

[astral olive]

It totally changes the feel of the game for just that one sequence.

Hornet feels vulnerable

[normal bramble]

With muck roaches at 2 and the trigonometry flies at 3

[desert elk]

i walked up to one thinking its a pacifist enemy and it screams and sucks out two of my hearts

[potent vessel]

what are the trigonometry flies

[desert elk]

I thought they were dogs or something for a minute

[astral olive]

They are, like, thematically.

[desert elk]

Also having to kill 10 of em for their guts was painful

[normal bramble]

The flies with the bouncing projectiles in blasted steps / karak

[rough anvil]

Muckroaches are rabid dogs

[potent vessel]

ohhhhhhhh

i havent played in so long

[rough anvil]

I hate sands of karak so much

[steep jolt]

geometry dash files, they have all the bad things swing did in them (im wave carried)

[rough anvil]

Absolute useless of a zone

[desert elk]

Buuut I like npcs who are kinda weird that theyre funny

[rough anvil]

I like the tools atleast

[steep jolt]

no thats a goated area

[desert elk]

kinda why I like the npcs in this game more

[normal bramble]

I never even found them until act 3

And uh act 3. No further comments

[rough anvil]

In act 3 you enter act 3

[normal bramble]

Truly

[desert elk]

I thought I made it to the Citadel by accident by going through the mist the first time

[steep jolt]

i cant believe garmond almost died in act 3 thank god we could give him the everbloom to save him

[normal bramble]

Well you weren’t that far off

[potent vessel]

hopefully the dlc expands it

[desert elk]

I just now beat the last judge so I could do a quest about meat which brought back my flower quest ptsd

[rough anvil]

This game's bosses are peak but most zones make my brain slowly die

[desert elk]

took about 3 times maybe 4

[desert elk]

10/10

[rough anvil]

There's something that makes the zones boring somehow

[steep jolt]

i used to think i wasnt meant to be in every new area i went to like when i went to deep docks i was like "isnt this where the last judge is??? i skipped so much!" when i went to hunters march it was "isnt this where karmelita is??? im not meant to be here!" and when i went to greymoor i was like "isnt this where craw father is??? i skipped so much!!!"

[desert elk]

Maybe its a habit thing

[steep jolt]

now im playing mio with absolutely 0 spoilers so i cant do this again

oh but this did happen with undertale

[desert elk]

I only really love the bell area, citadel and the bilewater places

[potent vessel]

why did you spoil yourself for skong

[rough anvil]

I only enjoy the coral tower (bright), moss grotto and bilewater tbh

[steep jolt]

i didnt think i would actually buy the game so i watched videos about it but when it went on discount i decided to buy it so i had like 50% of the game spoiled

[potent vessel]

damn

[desert elk]

I would be lying though If I said that the artstyle didnt feel way cozier

[steep jolt]

we will NOT take this choral chambers slander

[desert elk]

HK was already great but this felt even nicer even

[normal bramble]

Im so happy the ducts enemy infinitely respawn

[potent vessel]

tbh hollow knights areas are a lot better than silksongs

[rough anvil]

I dislike the enemies but the zone by itself is cool

[potent vessel]

fungal wastes is still my goat

[normal bramble]

Only good thing in the area

[rough anvil]

And the map colors i dont know wht shakra was thinking by making far fields be vomit colored

[potent vessel]

😭

[desert elk]

I cant decide which place I love

I definetly have places I hate

wherever those triple shots flies were

[steep jolt]

my favorite place in hk based on looks might genuinely be the hive it looks so nice but its so sad how they made it barely an area

[desert elk]

Its why I like the bellhart area

its a lively colorful place

[steep jolt]

it has 2 colors yellow and brown

[potent vessel]

if we're talking vibes and atmosphere:
fungal wastes, city of tears, deepnest, bilewater, choral chambers, cogwork core
those gotta be the best

[steep jolt]

i mean hive is too

[desert elk]

I just like running around doing a bunch of side stuff in Silksong

[rough anvil]

We need a dlc where we fight vespa and enter the hive before hallownest fucked up as hornet

[desert elk]

the quest system is prolly my favourite edition

[steep jolt]

my fav silksong area is either cogwork core or lifeblood spire

[potent vessel]

the cogwork core theme is so peak

[desert elk]

I think the citadel is my ultimate favourite

[normal bramble]

God the way to vog is

[steep jolt]

the citadel is like 4 areas

[normal bramble]

SO stupid

[desert elk]

prolly cuz the enemy designs are super cool

[desert elk]

I know and I love em all

[steep jolt]

high halls is lowk just a better choral chambers imo

oh yeah someone made the entire citadel as a 3d map in minecraft

[desert elk]

ALSO THAT ONE ROOM

[normal bramble]

My favorite is Mount Fay or bellhart

[desert elk]

WITH A BIG ANT AND A FLYING SPEAR ANT

[normal bramble]

Bilewater a close third

[desert elk]

THAT WAS HARDER THEN ANY BOSS

[steep jolt]

omg i hate that one but it does give a shitload of rosaries and curveclaw

[potent vessel]

😭

[versed current]

Update, its not blue anymore

[potent vessel]

that abyss take is lowk valid icl

[desert elk]

fair but damn it was annoying

[rough anvil]

Something's wrong, i cant prove it yet... maybe... soul master the weaver isnt here...? The weaverspawn?

[versed current]

Used to look like this

[steep jolt]

abyss has so much no potential

[rough anvil]

Abyss should be replaced by lifeblood or smth like yes bright but atleast its cool

[versed current]

I got mad at bell eater

[worldly lake]

kris deltarune leaving the dark world:

[versed current]

Lol

My theory is that if i hit it enough times it will work

[desert elk]

But if anything, my favourite thing besides Sherma

Styx

[steep jolt]

thats the flowers name in undertale

[graceful oyster]

Styx dies too, right after Sherma

[steep jolt]

yeah he goes insane in act 3 and skynx eats him

[rough anvil]

What about the weavers in the soul sanctuary

[versed current]

Flowey gasterdune

[desert elk]

What about em

[worldly lake]

i wouldn't say right after

[rough anvil]

They're so peak

[worldly lake]

seamstress died after sherma and before styx

[graceful oyster]

Right right

[unkempt steeple]

Red herring

[rough anvil]

8 years ago where hollow knight didnt have lore

Now we know the soul manipulators are weavers

[steep jolt]

weavers weave

[unkempt steeple]

Well yeah, how would it have lore if silksong came out last year

[rough anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-soul-tyrant-joseph-anderson-boss-fight-metroidvania-gif-25423483

[unkempt steeple]

I miss soul master

[versed current]

Update, my switch is probably done for

[desert elk]

I kept a team cherry game break for awhile and now I started playing Silksong and I cant stop

[versed current]

At least it aint blue

[rough anvil]

The power of the weaverlings

[normal bramble]

Welp ducts done

Yay

[slender juniper]

Tell me about it I have 300 hours

[versed current]

Made for a good nightlight tho

[normal bramble]

Oh also I just realized

[versed current]

Out with the blue

And in with the new

Black

[normal bramble]

Does hornet not talk about the flea caravan with vog if you never find Mooska

[potent vessel]

💔

[normal bramble]

Vog says she’s gonna go anyways

[desert elk]

I love those little things

[slender juniper]

Probably

[normal bramble]

But I don’t think hornet said a thing about it

[desert elk]

She's a bug of few words

[normal bramble]

Anyways time to see if vog has a marker on the marrow flea quest

[versed current]

Update

Its still BLACK

Pretend that says blue

[rough anvil]

The fuck did bell eater do to you man

Throw 3 attacks

[versed current]

Kill me

The switch is five years old anyway

[desert elk]

I love all the bosses designs in this game

but also I hate dying to em

[versed current]

It was gonna crumble away soon

[versed current]

groal

[slender juniper]

Have you asked Nintendo for a replacement

Wait they're gonna spit in your face

[versed current]

No

[versed current]

I dont want one

[slender juniper]

Lace 2 lowkey annoying

[steep jolt]

who tf gigling to savage beastfly

[exotic cedar]

Poor second sentinel

[rough anvil]

Its an easy boss

[versed current]

Ill get a steam machine or pc

[exotic cedar]

They are gonna get slammed by two savage beastflies

[rough anvil]

Its atop of the list wdym
You saying it should be bottom tier

[worldly lake]

what could this ranking POSSIBLY be trying to convey

[rough anvil]

Oh

[versed current]

Cogwork dancers love!!

[desert elk]

Omg the flying mother things

I disliked them both but I somehow beat the moss fly mothers on my second try

[rough anvil]

Amount of fun i got from the fights

[slender juniper]

Lace 2 parry is so annoying

[steep jolt]

tf does giggles and shits mean

[desert elk]

BUT MOORWING

[slender juniper]

Like if you silkspear and she parried it YOU'RE FUCKED

[steep jolt]

and how is that different from shits and giggles

[desert elk]

I HATED MOORWING

[versed current]

They shit from giggles

[slender juniper]

They nerfed him

[desert elk]

Though I somehow beat Fourth Chorus on my first try

[versed current]

Giggles at shits

[desert elk]

when

[crude geyser]

Chat how do you go back to the cradle in act 3

[slender juniper]

September

[rough anvil]

Giggles and shits because i loved the fight

Shits and giggles because i giggled at the shat more than the fight

[desert elk]

Damn

[slender juniper]

Silksoar right of the cogwork core

[desert elk]

Silksong definetly has many songs

so its a 10/10

[crude geyser]

Where exactly

Ok nvm I found it

[slender juniper]

Right from the dancer arena

[normal bramble]

What a sight

[slender juniper]

What are the top 22 fleas to get for TE

[steep jolt]

son

[slender juniper]

Like the fastest 22 fleas to get

[normal bramble]

Oh the big flea also has a unique marker

Guess I should get Kratt here as well

[tardy pelican]

"one of these is not like the others" ahh

[worldly lake]

there are two imposters among us

[slender juniper]

Shasha

ooo this flea is really easy

[slender juniper]

Thank you so much

[compact hemlock]

flea dodge is so hard good lord

WHY IS FLEA DODGE SO HARD

[delicate temple]

So if the knight could just rip of their shell to become a whole giant demon why didn’t they do it before, is it like something they can’t maintain for too long without dying or what

[steep jolt]

theres a really easy cheese its called dodging the fleas

[normal bramble]

Got all the vog maps before ever buying the maps for like 90% of act 1

[steep jolt]

but for real use shaman crest to pogo the fleas

[compact hemlock]

YES fuck you

[delicate temple]

I Would ask this in HK chat but they’re going through psychosis rn

[compact hemlock]

i'm the fucking goat bitch

[compact hemlock]

can't, hunter's crest only

[steep jolt]

shaman or reaper i perfer shaman cuz the pogo even if you dont pogo anything makes you go up a bit

[steep jolt]

loser fuck

[compact hemlock]

nuh uh

[delicate temple]

Question where do I find grapple in the chapel

I cannot find this shit

Been looking for it

[compact hemlock]

grapple is NOT in the chappel?

[normal bramble]

Chapel???

[delicate temple]

Well where tf is it

[normal bramble]

Grapple is all the way in act 2 (underworks)

[delicate temple]

That’s under the chapel is it not

[normal bramble]

No it’s below the citadel…

[delicate temple]

Ah I said the wrong name

Eh giant tower, chapel, citadel

Basically the same

[compact hemlock]

remembering i need to beat seth AAAA

[delicate temple]

Also despite the Knight being my goat, Hornet is far more interesting at least character wise but Knight is more interesting lore wise

Since the void is very interesting to me at least

[compact hemlock]

same

[steep jolt]

chat hop on just act normal on steam its free

[delicate temple]

Bro thinks I use steam (I’m on ps5)

[steep jolt]

l bozo

[compact hemlock]

i'm on xbox

[steep jolt]

l bozo

[compact hemlock]

onlky bad thing is that i can't use mods

but i can just do what i did with celeste

[normal bramble]

Just got my first mask shard

For the run

Lmfao

[compact hemlock]

nice

YESSSS I'M THE GOAT BIIITICH

[rancid stag]

anyone alive

[compact hemlock]

yeah

[rancid stag]

nice

[normal bramble]

Mhm

[subtle lynx]

Hornet is more badass

[delicate temple]

Nah

[subtle lynx]

Yesh

[delicate temple]

She didn’t beat god

[subtle lynx]

The knight feels like a machine with powers

Hornet feels like a strong human

[delicate temple]

Hey so

That’s the point of a vessel

They’re supposed to not feel emotions

[subtle lynx]

Hey so
That's what makes it less badass than hornet

[normal bramble]

Truth

[delicate temple]

Also having emotions as a warrior is weak lowkey

[worldly lake]

hornet has more aura

[normal bramble]

Now I haven’t truly played HK but I’m pretty sure the knight never snaps someone’s neck for stealing their cloak

[delicate temple]

It means you’ll show restraint

[subtle lynx]

Literally the opposite thing

[worldly lake]

the knight is more badass

[subtle lynx]

Having emotions and being able to control them like hornet does, is strong

Not having them, means you don't have to deal with them and makes you less badass

[subtle lynx]

Or escape the abyss while lava is rising

[normal bramble]

I’ll eternally find it funny that hornet says she’ll kill grindle if he tried to rob her

And then just

Bitch slaps him instead when he does

[subtle lynx]

Yeah she threatens a lot of people

[subtle lynx]

I think it's because she never actually felt threatened

[normal bramble]

True

[worldly lake]

i'd argue that those define hornet as a character with infinitely more aura than the knight, but in terms of general badassery i'd say it's the knight

[subtle lynx]

Nah

[fiery burrow]

Hornet lost all her aura when she wrote "Do I almost feel fear?"

[normal bramble]

Almost

[subtle lynx]

The gloom is creepy ngl

[normal bramble]

But also that thing is FREAKY

And also really annoying

[fiery burrow]

I am a daughter of hallownest

[subtle lynx]

Top 3 hornet aura moments

[fiery burrow]

Yeah its scary

She doesn't need to be all edgelord nonchalant "well i GUESS i might feel scared right now"

[worldly lake]

i have already stood the sentinel for one dying land. that role... i will never play again

[fiery burrow]

even gods fall 🥶

[subtle lynx]

Nah, making characters more human makes them cooler since they'll have to deal with the same emotional struggles we do

[normal bramble]

Agreed

[fiery burrow]

Its not that she feels emotions

Its that she phrases it in an emo way

[royal nacelle]

real

[subtle lynx]

Wdym

[normal bramble]

Hornet feels like an actual character in the story and more then just a generic protagonist

[subtle lynx]

Yeah

[fiery burrow]

She doesn't say "These things are freaky" she says "Do I almost feel fear?" its a goofy line that makes it sound like she doesn't ever feel scared normally even when confronted with a gloombeast 😭

[sudden stirrup]

and has fluff addiction (i join the chat)

[wind mulch]

hornet thinks shes so tuff bro

[worldly lake]

hornet is tuff

[subtle lynx]

Idk it's not that goofy to me, but it comes more as goofy to me because she's talking about the little glooms while she's been through more scary and dangerous stuff

I think if there was a time to admit to being scared, it was much sooner

However, it is part of her character that she's supposed to be scared of void

She mentions it another times too

[subtle lynx]

However, idk where that come from

[sudden stirrup]

probably daddy

[royal nacelle]

bruh

[fiery burrow]

Does she

[worldly lake]

i mean who wouldn't be

[subtle lynx]

But the fall of hallownest had nothing to do with void, void even helped in HK, she should be scared of dreams if anything

[sudden stirrup]

dad tried to control void, failed defeating lamp and then it was "dead" not "dad"

[fiery burrow]

Hornet was never afraid of that in the first game she's never shown meaningfully afraid of that (this line doesn't even have her admitting to the fact that she feels scared) and its only mentioned that she was afraid of it in literally the last line of the game

[subtle lynx]

The one time she says "this darkness I deal no longer" or some shit like that before going to lost kave

[worldly lake]

on the other hand, she's seen what void can do

[sudden stirrup]

maybe its bc she saw the corruption and destruction of pharloom

[subtle lynx]

Yeah that's why it comes as odd

[worldly lake]

destroyed the radiance, kicked the ass of gods

i'd be scared if the practically omnipotent entity that helped me before is now something i have to fight against

[subtle lynx]

That's never a thing mentioned

[subtle lynx]

That neither is

She's just randomly scared twice

[subtle lynx]

It also doesn't make sense considering what I said before

[sudden stirrup]

actually, is the void that ISNT controlled by shade lord dangerous because it only aims to consume? i mean shade lord actually saved hornet from void.

so does the void withoud shade lord have its will?

[worldly lake]

i mean

entity was the wrong choice of words

[subtle lynx]

Void helped her, dreams destroyed the world, she's not scared of dreams but yes of void? She even killed tons of vessels presumably, she's been at the door of the abyss

[worldly lake]

i wasn't sure how else to describe void as a whole

[exotic dome]

agreed, i don't see any issue with that entry

[sudden stirrup]

that means shade lord isnt void itself, but only a VERY powerful being that controls it

or am i wrong?

[timid valve]

Scared of void, you mean of Gloomsacs?

[worldly lake]

hm

i'm not sure

[willow turtle]

Can’t believe i died once to plasmified zango despite having full upgrades

[willow turtle]

I beat him so not my issue anymote

[graceful cairn]

WIP metroidvania tierlist 🤑

[subtle lynx]

That and mainly the line she says before diving into the void

[fiery burrow]

Agreeable

[broken seal]

Gloomsacs are nightmare fuel

[fiery burrow]

Mio is S though smh fake fan

[warm brook]

100%

[graceful cairn]

only one game can be S....

[timid valve]

Wait... She mentions then that she's afraid of it?

[devout hatch]

Is there a bench in the start of act 3

I need one

[exotic dome]

move sk and mio to s tier and move ori 1 about 4 tiers below

[broken seal]

No lol gl

[sudden stirrup]

turn off turn on, itll refresh your hp

[graceful cairn]

the ori beef is insane bro

[subtle lynx]

I'm glad I see someone that feels about islets the same way I do, the game did not look good from skurry's playthrough

[sudden stirrup]

i mean turn off the game

[fiery burrow]

I love Ori hate

[royal nacelle]

yes

[subtle lynx]

She mentions STH around "this darkness I fear no longer"

[exotic dome]

[graceful cairn]

ive played it through like three times and ive enjoyed it a lot every time but its just not nearly as good as the others here

[fiery burrow]

I think the games are fun but who greenlit Ori 1's saving system

[graceful cairn]

I love saving anywhere!!!!

worst part of ori 1 is how you can unlock things in the skill tree for abilities you dont have yet

[bitter briar]

What’s with nine sols hate

[exotic dome]

boring platforming boring combat janky controls boring everything

[bitter briar]

Nine sols is cool

[graceful cairn]

havent finished it honestly

[bitter briar]

Nine sols is fun

[exotic dome]

ori 2 is fine tho

[subtle lynx]

Nobody hated it

[bitter briar]

It’s in b tier

I feel like it should be in a

[subtle lynx]

That's not hate and it's probably deserved

[graceful cairn]

yeah ill get to that once I finish my ori 1 hard mode no skill tree run lol

[timid valve]

Thought that with "but yes of void" you meant that she was afraid, nvm.

[bitter briar]

It’s good though

[graceful cairn]

cause I havent finished it

[barren dew]

hi

[worldly lake]

i mean uh void's scary

[royal nacelle]

water

[exotic dome]

i bought ninesols recently

[subtle lynx]

I haven't played it but from what I've seen on a playthrough, it's very combat oriented with parry mechanics, story being way too upfront and not too much exploration which is not of my liking and I'd assume it's the same for a lot of people

[barren dew]

I forgot to drink water actually thanks

[royal nacelle]

youre welcome

[orchid gull]

WHO WANTS TO DO A HOLLOW KNIGHT JEOPARDY

[broken seal]

I would love to but i am currently driving through Kansas 😭

[orchid gull]

oh

[weak hornet]

EYES ON THE ROAD BRO

[orchid gull]

why are you texting us then bro :0

[subtle lynx]

Then why are you typing in discord bruh

[broken seal]

i mean i'm at a rest stop rn 😭

[orchid gull]

oh

[bitter briar]

There’s a decent amount of exploration, also parrying only helps you get counter attacks and you don’t have to like only use parry anyways, also the story is very cool, it’s a little complicated to figure out on first playthrough tho.

[broken seal]

i wouldn't message while driving LMAO

[worldly lake]

are you implying that there are things to run into in kansas

[orchid gull]

anyone else interested??

i have 2 friends who are waiting and we cant start until we have 3 ppl

[devout hatch]

How many waves are in the start of act 3 enemy arena

[royal nacelle]

if i join will half life 3 come out

[graceful cairn]

does deaths door count as a metroidvania

[subtle lynx]

My issue with the story is not with the writing but with how it is told, it is way too in your face, there are long story sections or "playable cutscenes" which I hate in video games

[broken seal]

lowkey forgot but once you get past that you can make a mad dash straight for Songclave and that'll get you a bench

[orchid gull]

yes

[fiery burrow]

more playable cutscene hate this is so true

[orchid gull]

this will require vc btw

[devout hatch]

Thanks for that tip

[bitter briar]

There are playable cutscenes in nine sols

[orchid gull]

anybody wanna do it

[bitter briar]

Since when

[weak hornet]

Is nine sols good?

[bitter briar]

Yea

It’s a little hard if u have bad reaction time

[graceful cairn]

its good if you really love combat

[bitter briar]

But it’s cool

[slender juniper]

Coral gorge or pharloom bay maybe?

[weak hornet]

Ill try it sometime

[slender juniper]

It's focuses less on exploration but yes it's good

[bitter briar]

U should, it’s pretty good

[exotic dome]

is acmi still ongoing

[slender juniper]

I actually haven't finished nine sols yet

I'm late game tho

There's so many fucking games I need to finish

I'm the avarage "buys game doesn't finish" ahh

[graceful cairn]

I beat ||lady ethereal|| and quit lmao

[slender juniper]

Took me a while but good boss fight

[bitter briar]

I love her funny swipe claw attack it’s so fun to parry

[graceful cairn]

it was!

nine sols is just a very tiring game sometimes imo

[slender juniper]

I've been saying I'm gonna replay Mio but actually haven't gotten into it

[magic night]

how hard is last judge on a scale of 1-10

[slender juniper]

6

[subtle lynx]

4

[slender juniper]

Too low

[subtle lynx]

That's how many attempts it took me to beat her

[slender juniper]

[magic night]

lol

[slender juniper]

Yeah with magma bell

[subtle lynx]

No?

[slender juniper]

Magma bell makes the boss too easy ngl

[subtle lynx]

I didn't know that was a thing till beating the game

[graceful cairn]

I think aseprite is the best metroidvania ever

[subtle lynx]

Even on replays I don't use it cause I forget

But last judge is one of the fairest bosses

[magic night]

what if i combine magma bell wander crest aand fracture mask

for lj

[slender juniper]

Baby mode ass build

[subtle lynx]

She's got no random bs all attacks are missable and you can hit her while she does all of them besides the fire circles

[magic night]

bet

[light swan]

aseprite is my favorite metroidvania too

i dont think ive ever talked about it in this server actually, its really good

[weak hornet]

I feel like i cant close silksong without putting hornet to sleep in her bellhome

[slender juniper]

Who tf is aseprite

[subtle lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-random-kid-random-kid-gif-10698606526004440975

[magic night]

yea thats true. in the hunter march ant gauntlet it felt like i coundt do anything

[graceful cairn]

of course the first thing I see in the aseprite community page is feet

[subtle lynx]

Same

[slender juniper]

What is aseprite

[light swan]

a really good metroidvania

[vivid horizon]

Hope you're ready for late gammeeeeee

[graceful cairn]

true

[slender juniper]

Sprite so ass

[subtle lynx]

The first thing that appeared for me was this, is aseprite a hollowknightlike?

[light swan]

its got a really cool system as you can see from the left, its pretty unique

like how worldless turns into a rhtyhm game and laika is like a bike game

[slender juniper]

What tf are y'all talking about

[weak hornet]

I feel like the new dlc crest will be the alchemist crest

[slender juniper]

And what will it do

Infinite heroin?

[vivid horizon]

Infinite plasmium!

[slender juniper]

I mean plasmium

[vivid horizon]

plasmium vesticrest

[weak hornet]

Idk i js think its name is that cuz u can see in the trailer the same head shape on zango and zylotol

[steep jolt]

plasmium phial

[subtle lynx]

No, it will be the fisherman crest, instead of healing you get lifeblood (which means nothing changed basically)

[steep jolt]

i hope that the clawline brings enemies towards you as like a fishing rod

[plush knoll]

Well, I guess that's it, did all Achievements on Silksong for the second time, I'm proud of myself :)
First on Switch and Second on Steam :D (did the same on HK, love these games)

[stable pilot]

Anyone chess

[slender juniper]

Crest of THAT bitch
Your needle attacks do triple attack
You auto parry everything

6 blue slots

[exotic dome]

I WANT a crest that changes the functionality of clawline

[exotic dome]

ggs

[fiery burrow]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolas_spider

[earnest drift]

crest with 20 blue slots that automatically equip 19 snitch picks

[fiery burrow]

There are so many irl spider strategies they could've adapted man

[earnest drift]

and when clawline is used each extra hit of a snitch pick contributes individually to stagger the boss

so clawline can instantly stagger every boss

[subtle lynx]

literally balls spider

[rocky jolt]

bolas heh

[still osprey]

Ohhh like the voltvessels I get that reference

[late plover]

testículos

[versed current]

Just figured something out
The console still functions and works as normal

It just cant display correctly

Maybe

[rocky jolt]

such funny words

[frank sequoia]

How do I fix the black screen on startup?

[subtle skiff]

Hard to tell from that pic, do you still get menu sounds?

[versed current]

Havent tried that

It wont turn on again but idk

Pixel thingy def isnt the only thing broken

[subtle skiff]

Display only would be nice, thats fixable, BSOD turns consoles into E-Waste most of the time sadly

[subtle skiff]

Oof

[versed current]

Its 5 years old it was gonna crumble soon anyway

Still wont let it rest

Not yet

[crisp heron]

what if hornet accidentally tripped over

[rocky jolt]

what if hornet found a mysterious rock

[prisma oar]

@crisp heron I hope you have a great day

[prisma oar]

That is all

[crisp heron]

Thankyou jinxsy the spider who i have never once interacted with before fhis

[full rune]

can i get a cherry pepsi

[prisma oar]

I just popped in and saw you and felt like u needed kindness

[crisp heron]

thankyou jinxsy the spider i appreciate it jinxsy the spider

[versed current]

One thing to note is that the screen froze with 2 random white squares and produced a sound similar to the wii crash before going blue

[prisma oar]

Jinx is fine

[versed current]

Would use as an alarm clock

[crisp heron]

ill keep that in mind jinxsy the spider

[prisma oar]

😭

Hru tho

[crisp heron]

hmmmmmmmmmm spoopy

spoopy as a celery steel soul evil groal

[versed current]

May be hope, put it on charger and it went blue

Its prob dead and doing the charge symbol thingy

Maybe the display is the only thing damaged

[heavy arch]

is it possible to reach clawline from the left side of the underworks

[versed current]

Yup

[crisp heron]

not from the first time you enter though right?

[heavy arch]

wait how there is a wall

like a fence

[versed current]

Noclip

[heavy arch]

i need my clawlineee

[tight hull]

go from whiteward

[heavy arch]

bruh

[versed current]

Why is it blueeee

Give me something i need to torture my console once more

I wont let it die until i can punch it one more time and watch it slowly DIE

[subtle lynx]

Genuinely, why do people buy Nintendo garbage without counting nostalgia bait

All their products are shit or/and overpriced

[versed current]

It was a gift

5 years ago

[subtle lynx]

Tell them to get a refund and give you the money instead

[heavy arch]

how do i reach that level

[fiery burrow]

Nintendo games are fun

[subtle lynx]

Explore

[versed current]

5 years ago

It lived a good life

[subtle lynx]

Then double it and give it to the next person

[versed current]

I hope the screen doesnt get burnt

I dont think it can but it might

[fiery burrow]

Idk there's a convo to be had about their business practices but Mario and Zelda have some of my favorite games tbh and the switch is probably one of the better consoles to get

[subtle lynx]

I think the switch is one of the worst

[versed current]

Ye
Still nice tho

[subtle lynx]

you trade quality and good pricing for mobility ig

[sharp slate]

because people value different games at different values

[subtle lynx]

yeah, that's why I said without counting nostalgia

[sharp slate]

honestly i give 0 crap about nintendo, i wont buy any of there stuff, but if someone wants to do what they want with their money

[subtle lynx]

ne one questioned that

[fiery burrow]

Portability is good the controllers being versatile is nice and the performance is weaker than a lot of consoles but its only really an issue for third party games that aren't optimized for the switch

[versed current]

Yup

[fiery burrow]

Performance is like an actual issue tbf if you don't need a portable console or want the exclusives you're probably better off getting a different console

[versed current]

Switch isnt gonna run gta 5 lol its meant to be a portable fun to use console

[subtle lynx]

well that's 99% of games isn't? and don't you agree vast majority of switch stuff is overpriced or bad?

[sharp slate]

yea, i honestly think switch is probably best console out there atm not including steamdeck

[fiery burrow]

I don't

[sharp slate]

if steam deck didnt exist and i went to buy a console it would be the switch

[versed current]

Steam machine
If it was out

[subtle skiff]

Exclusives, also, the switch allowed for portability that did not exist in the console space at that point for that price point, and arguably still doesnt although valve does add competition atleast

[vale whale]

ps4 pro level quality in a handheld is insane imo

[fiery burrow]

I mean I haven't played every game on the switch but I've enjoyed most of the first party/exclusives on there

[sharp slate]

I guess steamdeck does have a little less portability than the switch as well from what I heard its a brick

[normal bramble]

Ima be so real

[versed current]

Ye i never was annoyed by the performance of the switch

[subtle lynx]

just get a good pc, it's useful for life and steam actually respects its users, you can also mod. And I say this as a ps5 owner with a shitty laptop

[normal bramble]

I play most things off my switch

[subtle skiff]

And costs 4x as much

[sharp slate]

Not everyone wants to game on PC tbh, some people just like to plug and play

[sharp slate]

eh not true

[normal bramble]

Because its just more convenient

[vale whale]

nintendo is partnering with alot of gaming giants like capcom and fromsoft and capcom was able to optimise RESIDENT EVIL: REQUIEM to work on switch 2

[subtle skiff]

Yes true have you seen ram prices

[fiery burrow]

PCs aren't portable you have to do more fiddling with settings and ofc they're more expensive

[heavy arch]

is doulble jump required for this area

[versed current]

Ive never had the switch lag or drop in frame rate

[fiery burrow]

They just fill a different niche

[subtle lynx]

I'm not into nintendo but I'm pretty sure you can play any nintendo game on pc if you pirate them right? I don't believe anyone hasn't done that

[normal bramble]

On a pc im forced to be at my pc to play anything meanwhile i can play silksong off my switch while like on my bed or just like anywhere

[sharp slate]

fiddling with settings i disagree but everything else sure

i have never once had to fiddle with my game setting on pc

[fiery burrow]

You can emulate but that takes a beefy PC I believe

[normal bramble]

That’s my reason for my switch and why I use it so much

[vale whale]

if nintendo makes more allies those allies will invest time into the optimisation process meaning we're only getting closer to heavier duty games on switch

[versed current]

Not many people are ok with piracy

[normal bramble]

Now I would NEVER buy a switch two however

[heavy arch]

how to get to the left

[sharp slate]

I don't thinking stealing is a valid reason to say exclusives are a reason to not buy something

[subtle lynx]

the cost pays itself when you consider you're gonna need a pc/laptop either way for life and that games on pc are much much more affordable and piracy still exists

[normal bramble]

$500 for an upgrade that does NOT justify the price

[heavy arch]

@thick crystal

[sharp slate]

Why would i use steam if i can just pirate everything arguement

[vale whale]

i got minr for 395 pounds

[versed current]

Ye id rather just emulate donkey kong on a pc or something

[subtle skiff]

Assuming your PC can emulate them yes, excluding the switch 2
Also obviously the moral views of the person

[fiery burrow]

Trying to get MHWilds to be playable on launch was more difficult than the game itself

[heavy arch]

bro can someonehelp

[vale whale]

brand new

[vale whale]

2nd day out

[sharp slate]

Intresting, never played so didnt know that

[fiery burrow]

Extreme example though but I think a lot of games need to have some fiddling with settings to get running decently at least on my hardware

[normal bramble]

Still far too much imo

[sharp slate]

Varaince based on PC i guess

[versed current]

Most people are ok with buying the actual game before playing it on pc

[subtle skiff]

Sounds like youre either running 5090s or dont really play AAA, the PC AAA space has turned into a bit of a joke regarding performance because its cheaper to simply not optimize

[normal bramble]

My switch was gifted to me like 9 years like when it came out and it’s still what i use

[subtle lynx]

I get the moral stuff, however, I don't think anyone cares much about stealing to nintendo, the worst video game company ever in relation to how it treats its costumers

[vale whale]

not really, it's a ps4 pro packed into a nice little portable with great exclusives and an expanding library of third parties

[versed current]

Not me tho lol
Never paying 70 bucks

[vale whale]

the switch 2 is getting elden ring and duskbloods

[versed current]

Doesnt matter lol, not everyone thinks like you

[subtle lynx]

??? a pas4 is much better than a switch in perfomance

[vale whale]

duskbloods is huge for switcj 2

[sharp slate]

Play mostly indie, but i played BG3 and COD MW2 (new one) on my PC just fine, not a super computer either, you dont need 5090s to play triple A

[normal bramble]

I play like mostly indie games that the switch 1 can perfectly run

[sharp slate]

everyone is crazy thinknig you need TOP of the line pcs play triple a

[subtle skiff]

Switch 2 is a difficult sell because at that price point youre competing with the steam deck

[normal bramble]

For example silksong, Celeste, gungeon, dead cells, I plan to buy mio soon

[sharp slate]

PCs are more expensive than console but not signficantly if you do it right

[normal bramble]

Uhh been on ender magnolia etc etc

[versed current]

Have you used a switch?
Or do you only play the 2 aaa games on switch

[vale whale]

oh that's fair

[subtle lynx]

I don't think the vast majority of people have an issue with pirating nintendo games

[versed current]

Atp just wait for steam machine

[vale whale]

switch 2 passes ps4 and steps into ps4 pro territory iirc
