How do I get that

[vale whale]

once someone used sister of the void motif in an original composition and larkin sued them

[exotic dome]

why is this legal

[slender juniper]

You do not ,credit Larkin

[vale whale]

shit was WILD

[tidal agate]

Thank you

[vale whale]

file a claim or contact larkin

[lavish apex]

yeah sorry man i know it's like crack for you

[vale whale]

good analogy son

[fiery burrow]

if you're gonna be like publishing commercially I think you'd need permission but idk Team Cherry's website has an FAQ section and a contact section iirc

[vale whale]

he tries other things but he can never leave witch crest

[slender juniper]

If it's just on YouTube you just need to credit

You can't get any money from it tho

[light swan]

what if you were to make a list / think of them from a witch crest perspective

cuz witch makes so many things viable/strong

(which factors into the fact that it has the most blue tool slots, another beautiful synergy that feels intentional)

[orchid spruce]

am i supposed to believe all the intricacies that made witch combos possible were intentional while red tools exist

[light swan]

you can believe what you want tbh

but witch isnt just cool for it's combos

the playstyle and identity and synergies mostly

i dont think the devs intended for rdac chains to exist

[tight viper]

I don’t think they intended for a lot of techs to exist

[exotic dome]

that's techs for you

[raw pawn]

Sea of Sorrow... Nvm I lost sense of time

[tight viper]

I’m fond of clawtooths and sawdashes

[rocky jolt]

Enter City of Steel

[normal bramble]

I just had to battle Garmond. I am so sad 😭

Broke my heart man

[vale whale]

fight was too hard

there was this weird blurry filter that was makign my eyes blink

[normal bramble]

My heart wasn't in it

[vale whale]

and i was whimpering alot

[normal bramble]

Lmfaoooo 💀

Bro Zaza made me cry

[graceful oyster]

So I just ate a Ghirardelli milk chocolate and then took a swig of coffee and it tasted exactly like a marshmallow

What

What's the flavor science behind this

[lavish apex]

independent of me not thinking rdac spam is an intended strategy on tc's part i think it really only buffs claw mirror and snitch pick

claw mirror is already Ok otherwise

warding bell it definitely gives a use to but not one that i think meaningfully improves that tool

[graceful oyster]

Oh there's no shot rdac was intended

Nor spogos

[lavish apex]

circlet is already good on other crests but witch probably makes it better

ig

idk i find blue tools generally underwhelming

i understand why tc wanted to avoid another shaman stone/strength/quickslash situation

but i think it could have been done better

[lavish apex]

most of them feel like they have very little obvious benefit to them which makes the ones that do have that overshadow the rest pretty hard because of the lack of notches as a factor

both are flawed systems

[fiery burrow]

grhghh

mio spoilers

[lavish apex]

its a system i feel like you can just ignore for all of act 1 with very little change

[slender juniper]

What are you doing bruh

Me who's shit at Mio plays better than that

[fiery burrow]

abilityless platforming

[slender juniper]

OH

[lavish apex]

like the best one available by the end of it is fractured mask

which
purely numerically and functionally speaking
is worse than like
lifeblood heart

[slender juniper]

That's definetly impossible but that one looks possible if you pogo on it maybe

[lavish apex]

contextually it's better because you don't have better options than that where in hk1 you do

[fiery burrow]

wooo

took like 40 minutes

[rocky jolt]

skull tyrants are like gorillas of this world

[graceful oyster]

Amazing, nice work

[lavish apex]

how much of the game can you beat like this

[fiery burrow]

someone in the mio server posted a map and its p much everything except for ||right redacted and by extension the lower portion of the map||

I think ||s&v|| are offlimits too

[lavish apex]

isn't like
half of what's required for ||ending 2|| impossible

[fiery burrow]

you'd need ||halyn and at least striders + dodge||

so yeah

[raw pawn]

||Silksong|| Discussion

[cedar trench]

whatever man

i don't really get the hype for this new game but i'm happy there's more metroidvanias being released and talked about

[lavish apex]

mio probably has the best customization system i've seen in a metroidvania, still not perfect tho

[graceful oyster]

It's just a very quietly advertised sleeper game from microscopic devs that is extremely well done in many regards

So us who have played it are very vocal

[vale whale]

mio is shit piss poop ass

play brainrot:fighting

[fiery burrow]

whatever... probably too sophisticated for someone like you to understand... 🧐

[cedar trench]

i'm also very vocal about my headache and wish other people had it as well

[orchid spruce]

It's hard not to be excited about the best metroidvania of all times 🙂‍↔️

[cedar trench]

just kidding i'm taking the piss i get it

[lavish apex]

you need a very high iq to understand memories in orbit

[graceful oyster]

Mio is only for big kids who eat their vegetables

[vale whale]

kid named metroid dread

[orchid spruce]

I've been trying to deduct points away from MIO but it's just so well-rounded

[lavish apex]

metroid dread sucks

[orchid spruce]

I don't know what to do

[cedar trench]

isn't metroid dread just ok from what i've heard

[vale whale]

it's rhe best metroidvania out there imo

[graceful oyster]

Metroid games are secretly ass

Surprise surprise, Nintendo

[cedar trench]

i don't play metroidvanias aside from, yknow

[cedar trench]

so i don't want to pass any judgment while being turbo ignorant

[exotic dome]

no metroid games made the metroidvania genre you have to like them!!!

[raw pawn]

Headaches suck hope you feel better very soon

[vale whale]

dread is one of those metroidvanias which REALLY feels like a metroidvania because it's psrt of the series which crested them

[cedar trench]

thank you very much

[lavish apex]

1 (admittedly very) good boss, generally boring combat, miserable unpolished chase sequences, boring exploration and rewards, shit music

[vale whale]

all of the bosses are good

except fucking DOUBLE CHOZOS

[opaque sigil]

the movement is reasonably fun that's about it

[cedar trench]

she call me mistah boombastic

[vale whale]

I HATE DOUBLE CHOZOS

[lavish apex]

super is better and i don't even like that game

[opaque sigil]

oh and it's like six hours long and still recycles bosses 💀

[graceful oyster]

Yikes

[lavish apex]

yeah

[cedar trench]

lol how do you even do that

[opaque sigil]

in a row!

[lavish apex]

also $60 and never goes on sale

[cedar trench]

that's so gangster

[vale whale]

" 1 good boss " LAAAARP

z-57 is mandatory

[lavish apex]

nintendo may have created the genre but it belongs to indie devs now

[graceful oyster]

Games that recycle bosses are always garbage, I hate it when games recycle bosses once or even twice. Good thing there are no games I know of that recycle bosses!

[cedar trench]

i need the new tomadachi life but i do not want to come up to my parents asking "heyyyyyyyyy yall got 50 bucks for the nintendo ahhaha"

[vale whale]

three major bosses? one of which is the true final one? pfffttttt

hey dread uses the boss rematches for major story bosses

and recycled it for the final boss

[lavish apex]

literally the only dread boss i remember in even a slightly positive way is rb

[cedar trench]

debate start: is silksong boss recycleslop? or boss recyclegem

[opaque sigil]

recycleslop

[vale whale]

lace 1 and 2 good lost lace bad

[opaque sigil]

lace 3 isn't even the best lace

[lavish apex]

metroid as a whole actually

[cedar trench]

thank you

[exotic cedar]

Recycleslop ofc

[plush plover]

hiveminders is there a way to improve on my jade loadout for maximum airstalling potential (9s spoilsies)

[vale whale]

lace 2 kicked my ass i sucked

[vale whale]

bresther swift blade

[graceful oyster]

Airstalling? In what

[vale whale]

or no breather if you feel daring

[plush plover]

mostly floorless egg

as floorless as i can get it

[graceful oyster]

Mmm

[vale whale]

the charge reduction one also gets used for airstall iirc

[plush plover]

yea i got that one on rn

[vale whale]

oh mb got it mixe dup with immovable

harness force id the small one rjght

[fiery burrow]

beastfly lost lace skull tyrant its not looking good

[graceful oyster]

Immovable works while airdashing if relevant

[fiery burrow]

Conchfly is fine

[cedar trench]

trobbio too

[plush plover]

oh fr? thats good to know then

[cedar trench]

"b-b-but ann it's a harder rematch" i don't care it's the same bossfight

[exotic dome]

clover dancers

[graceful oyster]

Yeah you can get strikes off super quickly

[cedar trench]

TRUEEEEEE

[exotic dome]

tormented is worse than original anyway

[exotic cedar]

What a downgrade

[graceful oyster]

Ugh blocked user AGAIN

[exotic cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/angai313-spongebob-sad-spongebob-crying-gif-21679826

[lavish apex]

lmao??

what did alpre do

[cedar trench]

silksong does the cheeky thing of making you refight bosses that are a bit more difficult than the originals (sinner, TTrobbio, clover dancers) like 10 hours of gameplay later

[graceful oyster]

Posted Green loser with a long pointy nose

[plush plover]

does the limit to aerial stuff only apply to the normal slashes or is there a cap on how many times you can ||skull kick|| or ||charged strike|| before hitting the ground again for example

[cedar trench]

so while they are slightly more difficult you are an entirely different animal

[tight viper]

killed Sherma and Pavo in a drive-by shooting

[lavish apex]

based

[exotic cedar]

WHAT the FUCK

[plush plover]

cause ik TCK and midair parries reset kick and double jump for instance

[vale whale]

is alpre sukuna

[graceful oyster]

You can refresh your 4 strikes + skull kick by talismanning

[plush plover]

oh yeah talis too

[graceful oyster]

Charged strike is limited only by charge time

Talis by cooldown and qi

[cedar trench]

i am two minutes into a new day and i should wake up in 6 and a half hours

don't give a smack

[vale whale]

da gong and ravenbeak are UP there

two fucking goated metroidvania final bosses

[lavish apex]

rb is good

[plush plover]

e gog

[vale whale]

and theyre both designed as lessons

[lavish apex]

i won't challenge that

[exotic dome]

sinner is fine, recyclegem

[lavish apex]

the highlight of the entire series at least as far as i've seen

[vale whale]

god i love lesson fights

[cedar trench]

sinner is recycleslop because it's terribly paced with the entire rest of the game

[lavish apex]

i need to play prime remastered before i write all of it off

[exotic cedar]

Sinner is fine

[plush plover]

guess my final notch is going to some dumb shit like soul reaper

[vale whale]

in nine sols theres a miniboss where you have to use your parry skills to react to the enemy rather then going for them immediately it's peak

[exotic cedar]

It doesn't feel like recycleslop

Gms feels like a recycleslop of radiance though...

[orchid spruce]

The pace is different enough

[plush plover]

ty for help grynne and onion

[vale whale]

it's like a big parry lesson so fun

[orchid spruce]

I am fine with First Sinner

[exotic dome]

lost lace is recyclegem too but im so outnumbered to have this discussion rn

[cedar trench]

if you fight sinner at the very end of your act2 run making her smell onion breath is enough to get her to kill herself

[tight viper]

Widow and FS feel very different yeah

[orchid spruce]

Lost Lace is good

[graceful oyster]

Def pauper to make sure you get the money

[cedar trench]

lost lace is bad sorry

[orchid spruce]

Solid B tier boss

[vale whale]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-covering-mouth-stream-scary-speed-scared-gif-3435748839023247479

[orchid spruce]

She's only ???? as a final boss

[cedar trench]

let me rephrase

[plush plover]

youre so right

[vale whale]

TRUE

[cedar trench]

lost lace would be an insanely good godhome boss

[vale whale]

lost lace is a c tier final boss and an a tier any other boss

[cedar trench]

EXACTLY

[graceful oyster]

Make sure you have transmute wealth on too, that's essential for critical aura

[vale whale]

she would be so cool as a fakeout into like

void gms or some shit

[cedar trench]

i don't even know why

[tight viper]

LL would be a great tutorial boss

[orchid spruce]

what are you doing btw

damageless?

[cedar trench]

hollow knight didn't have this problem it all felt very cohesive

[plush plover]

floorless egg

[exotic dome]

its because of act 3

[orchid spruce]

w

[plush plover]

as floorless as i can get it rather

[orchid spruce]

good luck lmao

[plush plover]

do you know if tali during big orb is possible

[exotic dome]

i tried shaws first

[orchid spruce]

yues

[plush plover]

I tali during geyser i just wasnt sure if orb was doable eiither

[orchid spruce]

speedrunners do that

[cedar trench]

act 3 really makes sure you remember this game's premise is very similar to its predecessor's

[plush plover]

its all coming together

[graceful oyster]

Top 10 reasons

[orchid spruce]

they attach talis when the ball is coming down

[plush plover]

[orchid spruce]

i can't do it though

better ask blind

[plush plover]

this shall be a fun learning process

[fiery burrow]

true

[orchid spruce]

sounds like hell for me but gl

[fiery burrow]

well as a refight she also falls flat

[exotic cedar]

Someone should make a yi skin in silksong

I think it would make silksong a good game

[orchid spruce]

fr

yi's aura would salvage silksong

[atomic sparrow]

maybe throw eigong in there too a good final boss 🤔

[graceful oyster]

Why no Yi skin in HK

[plush plover]

ive been considering making one

[orchid spruce]

i'm honestly not mad at people spoilering egg's name atp, does anyone not know her atp

[plush plover]

but such a dedication smh

[cedar trench]

playing hollow knight after a chill silksong playsesh gives you jet lag

[graceful oyster]

Charged strike nart, Talis spells, dash is dash, soul is qi

Just works out

[plush plover]

and also the elephant typing in sk discussion at this very moment :stupid_yi:

[orchid spruce]

your entire kit is refreshed after a parry so keep that in mind as well

[orchid spruce]

[graceful oyster]

Yeah I aided a friend in his attempts to begin making a skin and... the multi-hundred sprites on various sheets can be very intimidating

[exotic dome]

change cross stitch animation to yi's parry animation

[orchid spruce]

i'll fucking grind silksong if that's a thing

[plush plover]

ideally i would do something absolutely ridiculous like also doing an egg pv reskin to go with yi knight

[graceful oyster]

Where is my Nine Sols Heng skin

[plush plover]

but thats such a dedication and i already dont wanna work on my pre existing pv skin i have abandoned

[orchid spruce]

i saw someone posting a heng skin wip months ago, likely in development hell, per usual

[graceful oyster]

Ofc

[orchid spruce]

by months ago, i mean like 5-6 months ago or so

[lucid trellis]

shaw is on Wikipedia

[plush plover]

pain

[graceful oyster]

Tiny eggnog skin

[plush plover]

all peak ends up in development hell

i havent been able to stop thinking about zenith

[orchid spruce]

maybe that's why silksong isn't peak

[plush plover]

😔

[orchid spruce]

they didn't go through hell for it

[graceful oyster]

At the moment though I'm quite content with the pale one you made

It has a lot less green than base Yi

[orchid spruce]

I have a crude program to re-texture the cloak on your own

[graceful oyster]

I was wondering if you could tell me how you did those

[orchid spruce]

I have a more advanced version ready rn but I'm too lazy to polish it to publish it

[orchid spruce]

The very crude terrible version is available on thunderstore

[plush plover]

oh youre the one who made those? fascinating

[orchid spruce]

But it's like very bad imo, compared to the one I have atm

[graceful oyster]

I see

[orchid spruce]

All the new skins I use the new version

[orchid spruce]

[graceful oyster]

Well eventually I'd love to look into wasting time making some Yi skins

[plush plover]

yeah i looked at it today and i wasnt sure if i wanted to go through allat atm to do a few recolors lmao

but its really cool that it exists anyways

[graceful oyster]

Purple talisman

[orchid spruce]

I added an actual crude UI for it in the new version

[graceful oyster]

Ooh nice

[orchid spruce]

But yeah, it probably will never come out

Because I'm too lazy too many peaks to play

[graceful oyster]

[orchid spruce]

god, i wanna play MIO again

i am in my unhealthy obsession phase rn

[fiery burrow]

[old raft]

will sea of sorrow come out first or i beat p5 first

[heady iron]

I think the incoming asteroid's gonna impact first

[old raft]

😭

[raw pawn]

Will you beat p5 tomorrow?

[quartz cave]

TRUEEEEEE

[old raft]

i will try it today

[raw pawn]

Then you beat p5 first

[old raft]

i tried it only once and i made it to sly
i think thats a good sign

[orchid spruce]

"God of Chaos"

[raw pawn]

Since Sea of Sorrow is tomorrow

[old raft]

alr

[orchid spruce]

epic name ngl

[dusty rivet]

can i get all silksong endings in one playthrough?

[raw pawn]

Oh btw you have to fight hornet sentinel right after him 👍

[exotic cedar]

Yeah

[orchid spruce]

yah

[old raft]

surely that cant be hard

[dusty rivet]

any missables or should i just roll with it normally?

[opaque sigil]

There’s a missable one

[exotic cedar]

One of the ending is pretty missable

[opaque sigil]

Two missable ones actually

[exotic cedar]

Otherwise, there's not much missable stuff

[lusty grove]

yup

[dusty rivet]

ive seen people say i can reload my save to a certain event, idk if thats true but then it would mean that i can get every ending in the same save file

[lusty grove]

but there's 2 that are locked in act 2, so you should do those ones first

[light swan]

i never knew 1 week wirhout mio would be so miserable

[orchid spruce]

are you on a trip

[lusty grove]

every time you beat GMS (except in one of the endings), you can reload your save file to right before you defeated her

[cedar trench]

you can regardless but there is one that may require some rewinding

[light swan]

my plan is to get back to doing a ||daily shiitless shiitpost|| (MAJOR MIO SPOILERS) again

[light swan]

i was, im back today

200 hours isnt enough

[orchid spruce]

[dusty rivet]

twisted bud?

[light swan]

my hitlesses are still twice as long as my karmelita fight

still, buff phil!

[lusty grove]

people say 200 hours in a game is not a lot, imagine spending 200 hours having meaningful human interactions

[odd hull]

Ew

[light swan]

yes, that’s what we do every day

[exotic cedar]

Human intereactions 😨😨

[light swan]

at least maybe not “we” but “i” is better

[opaque sigil]

How many names will he get

[graceful oyster]

Guess what I'm usually doing when I'm gaming

[cedar trench]

that's like a month worth of school

[graceful oyster]

Calling other people

[light swan]

the network contains it all

[cedar trench]

it's different and you know it

[light swan]

uhh is calling others not human interaction?

[graceful oyster]

Also I work, so, that's enough human interaction

[cedar trench]

idk man not really

[light swan]

damn

what is it then

[graceful oyster]

?? Pretty sure the people I hang out with pretty much every day for years are still people

[light swan]

robot interaction?

[orchid spruce]

spoilers for game titles

[graceful oyster]

Game titles? No spoilers here

[opaque sigil]

I don’t think that can be a spoiler

[lusty grove]

you spend 200 hours a day with human interactions?

[light swan]

i thought the act of interacting with a human is known as human interaction but i guess not

[orchid spruce]

it's a joke sillypilly

[exotic dome]

||spoilers for words||

[light swan]

holy 10

[cedar trench]

i do not agree

[light swan]

the glaze never ends

[graceful oyster]

Emptiness and pointlessness spoilers!!! || ||

[exotic cedar]

There's no limit to the glaze

[light swan]

nine sols at 9.83

[lusty grove]

I installed Rainworld today, did I waste money or is it good?

[orchid spruce]

glaze limitless

[cedar trench]

this game cannot be that good

[light swan]

very valid, i’d like it to be higher

[graceful oyster]

Excellent game, but it's tough to get into. Bear with it.

[opaque sigil]

I mean I’d definitely give it a 10 on a 10 point integer scale

[exotic cedar]

I heard that it's good, i havent played it though

[light swan]

people when they don’t like good things

[cedar trench]

i haven't even played it

[light swan]

then don’t judge it

[lusty grove]

at this point, all I know is that I love sticks and green lizards are cool (fuck the red ones tho)

[light swan]

nine sols should be like

[orchid spruce]

the overall scoring now ignores some of the weaknesses and highlight the strengths so Nine Sols get higher

[exotic dome]

it's not, but it's peak regardless

[light swan]

a 10 as well tbh

[orchid spruce]

but MIO is just stupidly well-rounded so that doesn't fucking matter

[light swan]

actualky no it’s fine as is in comparison to mio

[graceful oyster]

I sincerely assure you that you will not be having trouble with reds
-# yet

[light swan]

actually no the gap between mio and nine sols is too big

[lusty grove]

that's a bit ominous but okay

[cedar trench]

what are you talking about

[light swan]

you disagreed with towel and said it cannot be that good

but you haven’t played the games

so don’t judge it

[lusty grove]

quote from me when seeing a red lizard: "THEY CLIMB NOW??"

[cedar trench]

it is not a judgment of any kind

[graceful oyster]

What insight from DDX do we have today

[graceful oyster]

You've seen one?

[lusty grove]

yeah

[graceful oyster]

I thought you just bought the game

[orchid spruce]

isn't that one pink

[tawdry valley]

Nine sols was okay. It’s kind of really easy to beat several bosses because of how strong the parry is. I haven’t but will play mio

[orchid spruce]

are we colorblind

[lusty grove]

I bought it a while ago

[graceful oyster]

Also uh you really shouldn't be seeing any reds

Unless you're on hunter

[tawdry valley]

In any case I don’t feel like 9S is very exceptional outside of its artstyle

[lusty grove]

...then I'm colorblind

[light swan]

cannot be that good is judgement

[lusty grove]

one sec I'll try to find it again

maybe it's just a pink one but the lighting is weird

[light swan]

i guess that’s valid, i just really like 9s personally

[graceful oyster]

There is a shade of pink lizard that looks like red

[light swan]

and i do think the story specifically is exceptional

[lusty grove]

yeah it's probably it

[tawdry valley]

Rainworld mention???

[exotic dome]

9s is a good game but not a good metroidvania

[cedar trench]

it's just disbelief at towel's very high opinion of the game

[graceful oyster]

You would know
very quickly
if you saw a red lizard

[cedar trench]

calm down trying to police me

[orchid spruce]

mio is exceptional

[cedar trench]

i'll larp whatever the fuck i want

[orchid spruce]

i know it's hard to take me seriously when i glaze it all the time but

[lusty grove]

...okay I haven't

[cedar trench]

jujutsu kaisen is mediocre media/content

[orchid spruce]

it really is

[cedar trench]

nah i get it

[tawdry valley]

Besides its art what do you like about it

[light swan]

ok fine. i dont think you should be judging on stuff you haven’t played but i am okay with you doing things how you want to

[tawdry valley]

Mio I mean

[graceful oyster]

For reference I've played RW for 300 hours and I can take down a red lizard with like.... 40% consistency

[cedar trench]

guardians in botw give that same feeling

[lusty grove]

I love my stick #mystick

[graceful oyster]

And I've practiced

[orchid spruce]

[cedar trench]

i entered sweepstakes to get YIIK (the video game)

[fiery burrow]

I haven't played Nier Automata but I'm 100% convinced its the worst game of all time

[orchid spruce]

why is it spoilered

[tawdry valley]

Red lizards are unique from pink/magenta lizards in that the second you see one you hesitate to even call it a lizard.

[lusty grove]

...alright...

[cedar trench]

silksong lowerthan hk is goofy but sure

[exotic dome]

i feel the same with stellar blade

[graceful oyster]

Thems be straight up machines

[opaque sigil]

the loadout options are interesting and consequential, the exploration is great, the map does a lot of really cool stuff, it has really solid platforming and movement that's well integrated into areas in general, etc

[fiery burrow]

Mio combat and platforming are great but the map in particular is exceptional

[orchid spruce]

exceptional map design & platforming is its biggest strength, i'd believe

[tawdry valley]

I’d be fucking stupounded if Mio had a better exploration loop than hollow knight or silksong.

[graceful oyster]

Does anyone play stellar blade except for gewners

[graceful oyster]

I really really do think it is

[light swan]

oh it definitely does by far

[orchid spruce]

you should fucking be, because it easily mogs HK/Silksong in that aspect

[tawdry valley]

Be extremely careful here, cause you risk overhyping the game to me

[lusty grove]

oh shit a blue one

[light swan]

youre rifht

[lusty grove]

that's new

[light swan]

just play the game and see for yourself

[fiery burrow]

I like HK's map slightly more

[orchid spruce]

okay, the exploration is like pretty good, it's alright

[tawdry valley]

Genuinely you think mio’s map design trumps HK and silksong and rainworld

[graceful oyster]

There are aspects of the game that are not as good as others but MIO is the best exploration I've ever played

[fiery burrow]

Enjoyed it more than SS's map tho

[orchid spruce]

idk rainworld

[light swan]

idk if it trumps rain world cuz i havent finished

[opaque sigil]

yes but for me that's not saying much for rain world

[light swan]

mio isnt my favorite exploration throughout all games

it’s lik, my 3rd favorite exploration

[orchid spruce]

afterimage afterimage

[graceful oyster]

Uh RW feels different. It's hard to compare. RW might be better.

[orchid spruce]

[graceful oyster]

I usually compare mvanias

[lusty grove]

I KILLED A BLUE ONE

[sick oak]

havent been to bilewater yet, is this true

[exotic dome]

i guess bro

[lusty grove]

WHAT

[light swan]

i do think mio’s exploration is better than hk and silksong but i am known for oberglazing mio so just make your own thoughts and go in with an open mind lol @tawdry valley

[tawdry valley]

I hold rainworld’s original 2d map and the experience with that in fairly high regard, otherwise I think HK is more fun to explore

[tawdry valley]

It’s on the list anyways, just something else to look forward to

[orchid spruce]

i may also be a stupid mio overglazer, so take my words with a grain of salt

after all, i glaze mid sols

[opaque sigil]

<@&283547423706447872>

[graceful oyster]

RW's map and Mio's map are definitely 2 different peas in a "best exploration ever" pod

[opaque sigil]

probably same for me after outer wilds and blue prince

[exotic dome]

mio has the best mv map design, i personally like hk more but that could be nostalgia

[sick oak]

huh

[cedar trench]

I guess bro

[sick oak]

is that not allowed

[cedar trench]

It's too edgy

[lusty grove]

dammit

[opaque sigil]

if only stupidity was also against the rules

[fiery burrow]

I can think of a wild map that's pretty far out there in terms of exploration

[frozen meadow]

what happens if ur critical hit for great conchflies hit both of them

[graceful oyster]

"Haven't finished" bro you've barely started

[heady iron]

That'd be a good rule cause a lot of people i don't like here would be gone

[light swan]

i know tje concept of the map ajd i’ve been to three areas, thats enough for me to form a vague idea in my head

[graceful oyster]

Peep what I'm listening to rn

[opaque sigil]

it isn't showing up but I can imagine

[graceful oyster]

Oh tragic

Yeah you get the idea

[orchid spruce]

i'll going into ori2 again

[tawdry valley]

Ori 2 makes me mad

[orchid spruce]

oh

[tawdry valley]

All these cool new abilities and improvements from the original

[orchid spruce]

[graceful oyster]

Bash is so peak

[light swan]

why is speeper a little difficult to play on piano

[graceful oyster]

Single best thing from the game

[orchid spruce]

this is the first criticism i've seen of ori 2, tbf i only started

[tawdry valley]

And they practically recycle the story and area progression from Ori 1

[light swan]

why is this the first piece i learn

[tranquil quartz]

idk

[orchid spruce]

oh thank god, i've never played ori 1

[graceful oyster]

This is the first you've seen?

[orchid spruce]

yeah

[fiery burrow]

Ori 2 is the most well rated game oat

[graceful oyster]

Haven't I bashed on Ori 2 before

[orchid spruce]

i couldn't get over ori 1's cookie clicker simulator combat

[exotic dome]

ori 2 spoilers ||you unlock like 3 abilities within the first 30 mins||

[opaque sigil]

real criticisms of ori 2 are less interesting than how absolutely crazy the lead dev or whoever is

[orchid spruce]

i couldn't remember....

[tight viper]

ori 2 is great

[tawdry valley]

Ori 2 isn’t a sequel it’s just Ori 1 if the devs had another chance to make it with hindsight, more money, and feedback

[orchid spruce]

i'd love that

[tight viper]

i love the Signis and Gron crossover fight

[orchid spruce]

because i've never played ori 1 (and don't intend to)

[tawdry valley]

It’s a great game but if you play Ori 2 I essentially reccomend not playing Ori 1

[orchid spruce]

but i think i'll never play ori 1 with you in mind

yeah, thanks

[exotic dome]

i dont recommend it either

[tawdry valley]

If you really like Ori 2 then do try Ori 1.

[exotic dome]

i don't like ori 2 too but that's a personal opinion

[orchid spruce]

i tried ori 1 first, i refunded it after discovering its combat is essentially cookie clicker

[cedar trench]

Lmfaooo

[orchid spruce]

[tight viper]

ori 1 gameplay is meh

[exotic dome]

cookie clicker has better combat

[tight viper]

ori 2 gameplay is a massive improvement

[tawdry valley]

Ori 2 has a few weaknesses. “Bossfights” are still whatever but it’s someplace to use your new build variety ig

[orchid spruce]

i could see it as well

[graceful oyster]

Ori 1 Ginso Tree is worth playing it for free on gamepass or smth

[tawdry valley]

In any case it’s all very fun

[graceful oyster]

Gumonhome is pretty decent too

[exotic dome]

only above average thing in this game

[orchid spruce]

thanks, i look forward to bagging a new mv in my played list

[fiery burrow]

The article about moon studios workplace is crazy

[graceful oyster]

And it's purely because bash is highkey peak

[light swan]

grime

[tawdry valley]

Ori 1 and 2 are both extremely pretty

[cedar trench]

How would you guys rate silksonh out of ten actually

[tight viper]

10

[light swan]

8 to 9

[orchid spruce]

idk i fucking got bored

[graceful oyster]

7-something

[cedar trench]

For me it's a low 8

[exotic dome]

i only like the visuals

9

[graceful oyster]

High 7

[fiery burrow]

There's a screenshot of one of the directors(?) insulting an employee with a slur and then next to it is this random stamp

[tight viper]

wait no, 9.5/10

[opaque sigil]

In a vacuum 8

[orchid spruce]

sk is 7.5/10 or sth

[tawdry valley]

9/10 awaiting better postgame content and a godhome

[graceful oyster]

Yeah put me down for 7.8

[cedar trench]

Why are you vacuuming it

[opaque sigil]

Hornet doesn’t deserve to draw breath

[tight viper]

SK would be 10/10 if Lugoli and Voltvyrm didn't exist as they do now

[cedar trench]

Ah it's a preservation thing

[graceful oyster]

I can't overlook Act 3 or the boss recycling or red tools or etc etc

[light swan]

8-9 if im talking about how much i like it

[lavish apex]

i hate reducing games to numbers but i gave it a 9 while writing my review

i'd say that still holds

[fiery burrow]

7 is reasonable

[light swan]

which means i can look past the flaws

[tawdry valley]

I really love lots of stuff about silksong and have not enough room to stretchmy legs and enjoy it.

Steel soul is hot garbage and is a waste of the potential that second playthroughs could have.

There aren’t enough hard fights or places to make fights harder by the end of act 3. Give me blood, give me the Colo/pantheons

[light swan]

in general if i judged every aspect of it

i have no idea because i hate doing that

[cedar trench]

Silksong is like an 8.25 despite some massive flaws which is saying a lot

[fiery burrow]

This holy taste...
Shells to soak... and define...
Pharloom's flavour...
Pharloom's soul...
Preserved... remembered...
From you all...
For you all...
Essence... true essence... 🥶

[silver oak]

if cryogenically frozen, it’s a 10

[light swan]

actually no silksong is a 9/10

[tawdry valley]

These are the literal only valid complaints I can make. I essentially just want MORE silksong, so that’s pretty sick.

[orchid spruce]

illu, what are you doing

[light swan]

?

[orchid spruce]

nah dw, just making fun of you changing your mind, nothing serious

[tawdry valley]

I think the only thing I’d call a massive flaw is tool/shell shard balance but that’s up to the player to abuse/not abuse I think

[lavish apex]

i criticize this game a lot but that's only because there was strong potential for it to wipe hk1 out of the top spot on my favorites list and it didn't

[light swan]

i went from 8-9 to 9 jts not that bad lol

[lavish apex]

i wish it did

[heady iron]

I had a lot of fun when I used tools sparingly

[lavish apex]

i wish there wasn't so much i disliked about it because there's so much that i LOVE about it

[cedar trench]

Act 3

[tawdry valley]

Oh and I guess I don’t vibe with the story endings as much as I did with HK. I don’t reaaally like lace basically

[fiery burrow]

I was lowk just expecting HK with better enemy combat

[opaque sigil]

Pretty much same but then the mandatory fetch quests started

[fiery burrow]

Better enemy combat we got but the map design kinda took a hit which is unfortunate

[light swan]

i wasn’t expecting anything personally, so whe it released i loved it

[tawdry valley]

It’s fine I think. I just wish I didn’t try and 100% act 2, and then realize I had a total of 15 points of interest left in the whole map for act 3

[lavish apex]

but that's kinda games, i feel a similar way about xc2 for example (although i give that game a pass because its story hit me so hard)

[light swan]

i hardly watched trailers or speculation

[tawdry valley]

I disagree with this because I love silksong areas a lot and am also way too good at HK to traverse them like a lost little boy anymore

[exotic dome]

it was so long that i kinda forgot about silksong

[orchid spruce]

I loved it when it was released, then liked it less and less as I play more and think about my actual experience with it more

[tawdry valley]

Citadel is literally the best area out of any Metroidvania you’ve all played (mio?)

[fiery burrow]

I'm no expert on Silksong's map admittedly

Did like 3 playthroughs but my impression of it is that its kinda more linear than HK

[light swan]

see this is why i like to look past flaws when looking at how much i like something

[sour scarab]

my booty hurts

[orchid spruce]

I wanted to love the game so much I tricked myself into loving it

[raw pawn]

How does hornet emit light in dark places? Is she secretly the radiance

[exotic dome]

citadel as a whole or just choral chambers?

[cedar trench]

idk the map design is good they made some baffling choices however

[orchid spruce]

Like, genuinely. I didn't want to believe I didn't love Silksong.

[tawdry valley]

It’s easier to get to where you want to go if you know where you want to go. In that sense I think silksong is just front heavy.

But area design? Bilewater, citadel, greymoor, fuck man

[orchid spruce]

I've come to a place of acceptance

[fiery burrow]

like not tying progression to the map

[sour scarab]

by not playing cookie kingdom

[tawdry valley]

I love silksong’s map.

[lavish apex]

nothing about silksong hits me as hard as xc2 story so i stare at the wabi sabi more

[fiery burrow]

Greymoor and Citadel are fantastic

[light swan]

and yet the only thing he couldnt lose was his own life

[tawdry valley]

Bilewater slaps and I’m tired of pretending it doesn’t

[cedar trench]

wdym

[raw pawn]

Not even the right game 💔

[fiery burrow]

quests 🥀

[sour scarab]

all the same

[cedar trench]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL quests

[silver oak]

greymoor is unfortunately kinda laaaame even though it’s my favorite area aesthetically

[tawdry valley]

You sucked at groal, we get it, but if you can’t eat the hot Doritos then drop the FUCKING bag

[light swan]

good, it’s the best area in the game

[opaque sigil]

greymoor was disappointing

[fiery burrow]

I like how Greymoor has a shortcut

[cedar trench]

greymoor was so hyped then it had fuck all to do

[orchid spruce]

Bilewater is one of the best Silksong areas except groal

[light swan]

greymoor is still my 3rd favorite area

[opaque sigil]

was expecting a big area then I got there walked through it 'oh it's over'

[graceful oyster]

I don't think I like any one Mio region more than the Citadel, it's the loop in Mio that's the great part.

[lavish apex]

peakwater

[fiery burrow]

Its also a pretty unique layout for ss standards

[exotic dome]

greymoor is top 3

[fiery burrow]

yeah they did uh say it was the biggest area they ever made or something

[light swan]

there’s like, 3 different subregions within greymoor

[cedar trench]

i wish the towers had more of a presence

[light swan]

every time i went through greymoor i always found another massive chunk

[cedar trench]

i assume it and sinner's road were one thing initally

[fiery burrow]

Kinda just how paying attention to pre-release information goes though

[fiery burrow]

Yeah iirc that's confirmed

[tawdry valley]

I like that greymoor has multiple directions to go when you first enter, and that lots of its rooms are just high places in old rooms. I get that it makes it feel smaller but imo it’s a more interesting exploration loop

[light swan]

i especially love areas that do things like these

[tawdry valley]

It’s what I’d want from CoT actually

[exotic dome]

is it even the biggest with sinners road

[light swan]

it’s why i loce cauldros so much

[graceful oyster]

Zangy

[silver oak]

ok

[sour scarab]

🙁

[cedar trench]

this is true a lot of the times you return to greymoor is because you just got a new tool or whatever

[exotic dome]

nuked

[light swan]

or why my favorite area in mio is what it is

[tawdry valley]

Greymoor should feel very very tall compared to other areas is what I think I’m saying

[lavish apex]

honestly my main reaction to some of the wishes on my first run was "what is this garbage doing in my hollow knight sequel"

[light swan]

or why my favorite area in afterimage is what it is

[rain horizon]

Is mayonnaise an alternative to deodorant?

[orchid spruce]

i don't know what my favourite area is in any games tbh

[opaque sigil]

what is your favorite area in mio

[tawdry valley]

Courier quests lol

[tawdry valley]

Spoiler tag it

[light swan]

mio spoilers ||promenade||

[tawdry valley]

Ty

[cedar trench]

my favorite areas in gaming are like
flipside SPM
akkala from Botw

[orchid spruce]

oh yeah, good pick

[lavish apex]

akkala peak

[light swan]

closely seconded by ||vaults|| mio spoilers

[fiery burrow]

akkala is so good

[orchid spruce]

i think i like that one and ||haven|| (mio) the most

[tawdry valley]

My favorite area in gaming is that red/blue platforming segment in Mario galaxy you know the song

[opaque sigil]

my favorite area in any video game is from the outer wilds dlc and I don't think anything will ever top it

[tawdry valley]

https://tenor.com/view/super-mario-galaxy-flip-swap-galaxy-super-mario-red-blue-platforms-wii-gif-14326871982671141654

[light swan]

ok area ranking time

[silver oak]

I reached enlightenment about silksong prelease

[tawdry valley]

Outer wilds might have a really S tier ost…

[cedar trench]

ZERO important plot relevant things happening
still the best looking thing in a mainline switch game
what was happening there

[tawdry valley]

DLC specifically too

[fiery burrow]

When I start a first TOTK playthrough I bum rush it to akkala to kill these two black moblins that hold like knight's shields or something and have great horns

[opaque sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/what-what-took-you-so-long-idiot-jack-horner-gif-27589260

[orchid spruce]

is it possible to run outer wilds on a potato laptop

[heady iron]

I like fountainhead palace in sekiro

[graceful oyster]

Ooh we got a DLC enjoyer here. It's been too long, all my friends have been pretty unimpressed

[opaque sigil]

what 😭

[tawdry valley]

Cause I have other osts I like more

[raw pawn]

Do courier deliveries give quest points for the silk and soul wish?

[fiery burrow]

no talk about the DLC will be going on in my ss-disc...

[silver oak]

I did my time in the discourse trenches, but those last six months I was really just inner peacing that shit

[opaque sigil]

the dlc is so good

[opaque sigil]

finish it

[tawdry valley]

Even though every time I hear the OW ost I start getting OW nostalgia so I think it cheats

[lavish apex]

i think probably for me it'd be like
city of tears
eryth sea/satorl marsh
taito

[cedar trench]

silksong prerelease months before we got the official date was suuuuuchhhhhh a slog

[light swan]

1. ||sky palace|| from afterimage
2. ||sylvalum|| from Xenoblade Chronicles X
3. ||cauldros|| from Xenoblade Chronicles X
4. ||noctilum|| from Xenoblade Chronicles X
5. ||promenade|| from mio

[fiery burrow]

eughh the longer I wait the harder it is to jump back in

[distant crag]

Has sea of sorrows come out yet

[tawdry valley]

Do you like xenoblade chronicles X

[orchid spruce]

xeno X?

not xeno 3?

[tawdry valley]

March lol

[raw pawn]

No silksong areas?

[lavish apex]

those are good picks

[graceful oyster]

I know! But they're all like "wah wa wah [insert common complaint about a fundamental part of the dlc that I'm sure you know about here]!!!"

[lusty grove]

if this isn't red idk what is (Rainworld spoilers)

[light swan]

its my 8th favorite game so yea

[tawdry valley]

Deep magenta

[lavish apex]

OH ALSO lost river from subnautica

[fiery burrow]

true

[cedar trench]

okok i'm gonna be lame here hold on

[silver oak]

I was above it all

Que sera sera

[lavish apex]

or blood kelp trench

[graceful oyster]

I built a base there and the vibes are immaculate

[light swan]

xenoblade chronicles X is a full on openworld game with much less focus on everything else

[cedar trench]

WAIT WAIT WAIT SAY THAT AGAIN

[light swan]

just like afterimage

[orchid spruce]

oh ok

[fiery burrow]

2025 ss-disc before release was the peak

[light swan]

i love xc3 areas but i cant put them above xcx

[tawdry valley]

Do you want a pic of a red lizard

[lusty grove]

sure

[exotic dome]

good pick

[fiery burrow]

It was active cuz we got a release window but there wasn't enough content for anyone to actually talk about silksong 🗣️

[lavish apex]

||world tree|| from xc2 endgame

[opaque sigil]

if there's one thing xcx does well (and there is ONE thing it does well) it's the areas

[lusty grove]

ok wtf

[tawdry valley]

Fuckers are big

[silver oak]

this channel is at its peak when people aren’t talking in it

[lavish apex]

ok but like overdrive

[opaque sigil]

leftheria is also sick as hell

[tawdry valley]

Then SHUT UP1!1!1

[graceful oyster]

Actually how I built a base there is OUTER WILDS DLC SPOILERS HUGE DO NOT CLICK ||I took apart my old base and loaded it into my cyclops aptly named "The Stranger" and brought it down to the river to establish my new one. Very akin to how they did.||

[silver oak]

I thought her new album was pretty good

[opaque sigil]

ok fine there are two things it does well but that doesn't roll off the tongue does it

[light swan]

im the only one who likes xc3 areas here

[light swan]

ost slaps too

[cedar trench]

1. flipside/flopside - super paper mario
2. akkala - botw specifically
3. fluffy bluff galaxy - super mario galaxy 2
4. the great plateau - botw speficially
5. world map - hylics 2

[worldly umbra]

[opaque sigil]

I like them

[cedar trench]

not in any order, i might have forgotten something

[cedar trench]

brat was pretty good

[opaque sigil]

I like basically everything about xc3

[silver oak]

I literally already made that joke

like almost exactly

[cedar trench]

no her last album was the wuthering heights one hahah get fucked

[light swan]

people shit on chapter 6 and 7 but chapter 6 has the beginning and chapter 7 has the end so i like them

[cedar trench]

also i didn't notice

[lavish apex]

xc3 areas are Fine like some of them are pretty good, none of them hit the same highs the rest of the series does except for ||erythia||

[silver oak]

ALMOST exactly

[light swan]

i do think the endgame dungeon is the best one in the series

[tawdry valley]

Magenta lizard art vs red lizard art. Guess which one the community has opinions on

[lavish apex]

THIS one is peak

[silver oak]

I did think it was pretty good tho

[light swan]

only problem is that its quite linear

[silver oak]

house is a crazy song

[cedar trench]

didn't check it out byut yeahhhh house goes insane

[lavish apex]

i'm not a fan

it's like fine tho ig

[graceful oyster]

I love that you have to know movement tech to outrun reds

[light swan]

nothing has made me feel the same level of exploration as raebel tableland of dannagh desert

[lusty grove]

the magenta lizard looks cute, almost as if it didn't kill me 5 times

[opaque sigil]

it also drags a bit

[lavish apex]

more than a bit for me

[light swan]

id love for it to be longer personally

[heady iron]

I like the abyss in soma

Perfectly encapsulates the deep sea

[orchid spruce]

you love afterimage

[lavish apex]

||erythia|| is where like everything about 3 peaks aggressively

[tawdry valley]

Corkodil

[light swan]

good solution would be like, add more optional stuff to the area, but make some of the current stuff optional too

[graceful oyster]

[light swan]

raebel tableland and the urayan trail specifically

[lusty grove]

I love the green ones, they're so cool, I love throwing sticks at them

[light swan]

actually i guess lower aurora shelf hits the same feeling

[graceful oyster]

Truck lizards

[lavish apex]

it's beautiful, it's the best iteration of combining the areas from the previous games, it has the best music, the best exploration, some of the best quests, and the best story moment

[light swan]

or no, not lower

[magic glade]

Hear me out: groal is kinda cute

[cedar trench]

damn

[light swan]

more like lategame aurora shelf/vermillion woods

[opaque sigil]

I do feel like alrest clears aionios in general sadly the cloud sea is just too cool a set piece

[lavish apex]

true

[light swan]

but those are part of xc3 so thats another

[light swan]

agree

gameplay wise, less agree, but in general agree

[raw pawn]

Are you a stilkin in disguise?

[tight hare]

Guys I got 112 in hk finally

[opaque sigil]

yeah I'm talking in terms of concept and look

[light swan]

like holy shit man
(xenoblade 2 spoilers?)

[lavish apex]

3 exploration is in a weird spot because the gameplay side of it is probably the best in the numbered games but the actual area designs are largely just fine

[light swan]

nothing can beat these set pieces'

[lavish apex]

as opposed to cool as shit like 1 and 2

[magic glade]

I

[light swan]

i do think that the area designs are really good and underrated but i cant convince anyone

theres obviously the one we've been talking about

[magic glade]

No I don’t think so

[opaque sigil]

maktha wildwood is fire

[lavish apex]

biomechonis will probably always be my favorite video game world

[light swan]

alfeto valley has a crimson forest overlooking the edge of the world, thats beautiful and new

[lavish apex]

extremely difficult to top

[opaque sigil]

unfortunately all the xenoblade games get lapped hard by outer wilds

[lavish apex]

conceptually sick as hell and somehow fits perfectly into the story's themes

[light swan]

cotte falls is very very beautiful and underrated, especially the fountainhead

[lavish apex]

i don't Get outer wilds yet but i think i'm pretty early still

[light swan]

i do think the battlefield areas fit better than smth like temperantia

[graceful oyster]

Just trust the process

[raw pawn]

I love high halls because it looks beautiful (which is prob the whole point of the area)

[light swan]

theyre so seamless, natural, and really damn haunting

[lavish apex]

that's fair

[lavish apex]

i don't remember where this is

[light swan]

especially when theres a massive terra wastelands in a corner of the map you dont need to find

[light swan]

its a secret area

tammo also said maktha wildwood but yea, thats peak too

[near cairn]

heyyyy

[light swan]

the two levels of it are amazing and especially the lower level, that shit is PEAK'

[near cairn]

wsp illusion

[light swan]

another reason why xenoblade 3 has the best exploration behind X

[light swan]

hello !!

[opaque sigil]

3 has a great sense of scale

[raw pawn]

Omg there are 10 Xenoblade games?

[light swan]

nope

[lavish apex]

4

[light swan]

X is the 2nd one

xenoblade chronicles 2 is the third game

[raw pawn]

Oh

[lavish apex]

don't think too hard about it

[light swan]

like, i love how you can loop back around in a swirl in millick meadows

[orchid spruce]

hitless speeper, and pretty fast & spammy too

[light swan]

and climb the mountain

[orchid spruce]

with imperfect focus

[lavish apex]

x is another "man there's so much cool shit in this game why does it also suck" game

[light swan]

to look over ALL of yzana plains, alfeto valley, and millick meadowsx

or that one landmark in fornis where you can look over literally everything too

nothing tops that
-# except for xcx

[wooden prairie]

(endgame spoilers) if i speedrun to ||act 3|| will i be locked out of any completion %

[light swan]

ggs :D

[lavish apex]

distant fingertip mog

[raw pawn]

Nope dw

You won't be locked out any journal entry too

[light swan]

distant fingertip in 3 or 1

[wooden prairie]

i managed to get the speedrun 1 achievement in just under 4h. this game is so much easier to speedrun than hk

[lavish apex]

1

[opaque sigil]

If only xcx actually engaged me in the world itself via a compelling narrative and interesting characters

[lavish apex]

it's cool in 3 as well actually tho

[raw pawn]

Tho I really recommend you to complete everything possible before act 3

[light swan]

i mean you only really look over 1 area in 1 tho

[wooden prairie]

why

[light swan]

in 3 theres 4 areas you can look over

[raw pawn]

Enemies become tanks

[lavish apex]

hey there's

[light swan]

at multiple locations

[wooden prairie]

okay wait yeah that is true

[lavish apex]

uh
lao

and
and uh

[light swan]

theres neilnail 😍

[wooden prairie]

but i figured fast travel tp would make everything easier

[versed pollen]

Isn't that the green brat album

[opaque sigil]

ok I did like neilnail

[light swan]

shes my queen

[orchid spruce]

have to fight the worst boss in gaming history to unlock back (exaggeration)

[lavish apex]

what do you mean you don't like al

how could you possibly not enjoy such classics as tatsu

and silent gary sue protagonist

[silver oak]

two people beat you to this

[wooden prairie]

has anyone perchance made a checklist of stuff to do before going into act 3

[light swan]

fight shakra, thats it

[versed pollen]

Well that can't be true

[light swan]

so is xenoblaed 1 the only game without a white haired catgirl who is peak

[wooden prairie]

i didn't even do that the first 100% lol. idk how to get to that

[lavish apex]

nia's hair is gray

[light swan]

close enough, silver

[lavish apex]

in 2
but yeah

[light swan]

i hate xenoblade 1

[opaque sigil]

if you really stretch the definition and squint

[light swan]

missing the best trope of characters

[lavish apex]

but it got melia in it

[shut lintel]

do yall have a favorite enemy in the game

[versed pollen]

Are women really allowed to be good characters

[lavish apex]

grand reeds

[light swan]

skarr stalker or bloatroach

[exotic dome]

i can't believe it's been 49 years since xenoblade 1

[light swan]

mid

[lavish apex]

skarr stalker is a banger pick

[shut lintel]

it's envoy for me

[lavish apex]

wtf

[light swan]

melia doesnt have cat ears

[lavish apex]

i have to destroy you now

[light swan]

she cannot compare im sorry

[shut lintel]

I don't care that they kidnapped me they sing little songs

[fiery burrow]

not in silksong

[lavish apex]

what about riki

[orchid spruce]

can't believe you're a furry

[light swan]

bro is orange and a volleyball

[versed pollen]

I thought this was universal

[light swan]

i will stay here and keep my neilnail nia mio nael and heng thank you very much

[heady iron]

Scrounge is right there

[orchid spruce]

[light swan]

i like how theres a clear best white haired catigrl

[lavish apex]

neilnail isn't a catgirl

[light swan]

she has cat ears

[lavish apex]

no she doesn't

[opaque sigil]

they're like vaguely feline I guess

[lavish apex]

she got elf ears

[light swan]

theyre furry

[lavish apex]

there is actually a white haired catgirl in x she just isn't playable

[opaque sigil]

they're like lynx ears or some shit

[icy crow]

@light swan Successfully defeated the superboss in Worldless

That boss was... well, a hellhole

[versed pollen]

Yea this is some vaguely feline girl type shit

[light swan]

GGS

hellhole as in not fun or just didfficult

[lavish apex]

hmmm.....

ok
fine

[icy crow]

Both at the same time

[light swan]

damn, rip

[icy crow]

I had to learn and record a couple of his attacks to react properly

[light swan]

there is a world where i make a case for nael but she gets a bad ending unfortunately

i feel like her character can be compelling enough to beat out mio, her perspective on the world is peak and so is her voice acting and role in the story

ok i need to get back to my daily speeper hitless post

[opaque sigil]

fr characters are sadly at a screentime disadvantage

[light swan]

literallyyyy

[opaque sigil]

especially compared to mio and noah

[lavish apex]

x would bang so hard if it was a good game

[light swan]

im also upset that nael cant be controlled

but it doesnt matter anyway cuz she uses debuffs

[lavish apex]

well it already does

but i mean like harder
like damn

imagine if they took core crusher out of the game

[light swan]

dude dont worry

[lavish apex]

that would be so sick

[light swan]

itll be fixed when they release Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Ultimate

[opaque sigil]

a part of me wishes they somehow implemented all the fr classes in base game but that would be crazy

[lavish apex]

imagine if frontiernav wasn't balls

imagins if there were fun quests

[light swan]

rex is already broken enough

give him ultimate qigong and frenzied combo and we're COOKED

[lavish apex]

imagine if they thought for like 30 seconds about the menu ux design and backported the best feature from 3's updates

[opaque sigil]

look I'm not saying it would be good or balanced
I'm saying it would be cool as fuck and incredibly fun

[light swan]

he already deals crazy damage as a hero

[light swan]

i want martial artist v2 because qmc is so damn fun

[lavish apex]

i wanted rex's class to be in base game so bad that would have been sick

[icy crow]

I have three achievements left in Worldless now

[light swan]

qmc is probably my favorite combat tech of all time

[opaque sigil]

no I mean like let the main game cast use the goofy classes

break it more for longer

[lavish apex]

yeah

did either of you fuck around in the roguelike mode much

[opaque sigil]

nah

[light swan]

i fucked around a bit but i didnt get to play it for very long

[lavish apex]

i feel like that would have been cool there especially

[light swan]

i know machine assassin is viable and really good in roguelike
but whats the point when i can just pop EG seraph

[light swan]

agree

[graceful oyster]

Insert quirky comment loosely in reference to one of 3 different games here

[light swan]

i cant believe the qmc skill is on soulhacker and not any main classes, its so fuckign peak

[lavish apex]

insert my peanits in yo mama

[worn reef]

feeling sorrowful.....

tommorow sea of sorrow...

[opaque sigil]

why yes you're so right prince of persia the lost crown is so peak and everyone should play it

[lavish apex]

what is qmc

[light swan]

quick move cancelling

its basically racecar in afterimage but combat oriented

[lavish apex]

idk what that is

[light swan]

cancel arts into a dash and cancel the dash with another art

the timing is super difficult and it requires some keybinds manipulation

[lavish apex]

oh is it the dash into crouch slide thing

[worn reef]

is that like pogo stuff

[light swan]

idk what that is

[lavish apex]

ok nvm

[light swan]

this is kind of useless outside of swapping enemies without ending your cancel chain

[worn reef]

I loved it

[light swan]

but on matthew's class specifically, he gets a 50% damage multiplier when using an art after a quick move

and this 50% damage multiplier is in the same damage category as power charge
so its effectively an independent multiplier
and that makes it really strong and worth using
aka, its fucking peak

[lavish apex]

can i ask why you don't like deltarune illusion

[light swan]

theres nothing i dislike about it im just bored

[lavish apex]

oh
lmao

[light swan]

hasnt engaged me enough to keep playing

[lavish apex]

fair

[light swan]

and i have 10 hours

[lavish apex]

oh i forgot about this

[rain holly]

Sea of sorrow tomorrow

💯 💯 💯

[pine oasis]

❌

[lavish apex]

who are you

where did you come from

[green jungle]

sea of sorrow ost leaked?

[orchid spruce]

idk man, ori 2's combat is still kinda ass

[light swan]

yea and its so dawmn satisfying when i can pullit ioff consistentyly

[orchid spruce]

why is my hp nonexistent

and it feels like some enemies knock 66% of my hp

yep, they really do knock 66% my hp

oh right, i play on hard mode, ok

[pine oasis]

🚽 🧱 🎸 🌀 🎰

[lavish apex]

toilet brick guitar whirlwind triple 7s

i see

[rocky jolt]

"im actually developing the sea of sorrow dlc right now, infact i am testing the new boss we added which is almost close to done"

[lusty grove]

Widow is kind of a mid character for a Weaver

[graceful oyster]

Fork found in kitchen

[lusty grove]

like, she's a Weaver, she's basically the closest thing to a god, and she's kinda just... there

the most "closest thing to a god" part of her is when she dies and you get to see her memories

[rocky jolt]

pale king found in pale palace

[heady rampart]

there has to be atleast someone who never checked their save files after the act 3 fakeout

like the act 2 ending that leads into act 3

[lusty grove]

I wish they gave Widow more of that when we're, like, right in front of her

the only moment we meet a live Weaver in game being just some bug is kinda disappointing

[lavish apex]

i mean she's a little bit more than that
