sk-discussion

[lusty grove]

(Yeah I also kinda don't know what Elderbug was on but I guess in game it doesn't)

[fiery burrow]

The amount of times people have interpreted "All our food is made of geo" as the fossils being edible is insane

[graceful oyster]

I feel so sigma!

[lusty grove]

...yeah that is a more sensible idea

[fiery burrow]

Iselda

[lusty grove]

No one sells food

They're starving

[opaque sigil]

the context is it's an expression about how they have to make money

[lusty grove]

I thought it was that they had money but nowhere to spend it on, idk I forgot where I read that

[fiery burrow]

was cornifer actually

You don't have enough Geo? Ah, I understand. I'd give you the map as a gift, but I don't think my wife would be very happy if I did. "All our food is made of Geo", as they say.

[ancient mortar]

@graceful oyster here's my dork ass deck

[odd hull]

hmmm delicious geo

[lusty grove]

Okay I misremembered

[ancient mortar]

Also what uhh hero should I unlock

[lusty grove]

They need geo to buy stuff

Also where is he even buying food?

There's no food store

[hardy tangle]

ocean of sad

[lusty grove]

And Sly only sells garbage he found on his basement

[onyx python]

there's probably some mcdonalds in a nearby area

[fiery burrow]

Sly has an offscreen produce aisle

[opaque sigil]

it's not literally about buying food it's about needing to make money on the business

[lusty grove]

And spend it on... what?

Sly sells trash, and they're the only other vendors in the whole town

[fiery burrow]

idk if they're permanent hallownest residents

[opaque sigil]

they're not

[lusty grove]

They now are

It's only them and Sly

[orchid spruce]

they buy 20 rancid eggs every weekend to eat over the week

[fiery burrow]

Is Ellina gonna get jumped by Shakra

[opaque sigil]

they are not now permanent residents cornifer is a cartographer they're going to move on eventually

[lusty grove]

Oh ok makes sense

[graceful oyster]

Oh yeah I've quashed something like this before.
It was fun, I think I "well played!" the guy who was running it because he genuinely got me a couple times.
How do you feel about the goblin hut change?

[ancient mortar]

Which one it's been a while since I played

[graceful oyster]

Uh

It only spawns goblins when an enemy is in proximity

[onyx python]

but wouldn't geo be useless in other kingdoms?

[opaque sigil]

no

[fiery burrow]

man its kinda sad how Hallownest is dead at the end

[opaque sigil]

given that travellers use geo as currency and cornifer knows preexisting expressions about geo clearly it's widely adopted

[onyx python]

nah the mantis are gonna conquer the entire dead kingdom and revive it trust

[fiery burrow]

no one can rebuild in DNM but they can in THK/SS ending. its kinda like a moral dillemma

[onyx python]

makes sense

[opaque sigil]

pharloom is probably abnormal in that it doesn't use geo but rosaries are conceptually an atypical currency

they're not just seen as arbitrary markers of value they're supposed to be signifiers of a bug's faith

[lusty grove]

It once probably did, like back in Karak times

[graceful schooner]

hi

[fiery burrow]

it might not be like a bad/good ending type of deal ykwim

which ending you choose reflects your moral stance

its kinda beautiful

[lusty grove]

Rosaries only came to exist when the Citadel began and only became currency in the Conductor's rule

[hardy tangle]

when you having a lore convo and they pull up dialogue or lore tablets

[lusty grove]

Before that they probably used Geo like everyone else

[ancient mortar]

Oh btw @graceful oyster for my deck what hero should I get, I get a free one of my chouce apparenrly

[graceful schooner]

nvm

[fiery burrow]

mods get this lorelarper out of my sight

[opaque sigil]

loreper was right there

[paper ermine]

Lost sinner is genuinely horrible

[onyx python]

nahh it reflects on if the person chooses percentage or just finishing the game

[onyx python]

misinformation warning

[lusty grove]

You can get Sealed Siblings with 112%

[rocky jolt]

hk fan modders genuinely think they deserve to play this game

[graceful oyster]

Well, none of the cards in your deck are hero compatible, but magic archer is hot off the press and would fit very well in your deck

[paper ermine]

Ive been fighting this boss for 3 straight hours and i still feel like every attack is inconsistent

[orchid spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/truth-nuke-wojak-soyjak-soy-jak-truth-gif-10540901418861964264

[onyx python]

yeah but no one does that

[fiery burrow]

I why should the mantes get a future over the hallownestians

[paper ermine]

It was fun for the first 10 tries but now it just drags on

[fiery burrow]

ts makes no sense

[lusty grove]

It's the optimal speedrunning option

[terse heart]

bruh

[onyx python]

yeah but the speedrunners are 0,1% of the players

[ancient mortar]

Yeah I'd either sub marcher for dart goblin or maybe mini pekka for ghost? Not sure which would fit better into the meta, I do need a better tank buster I think

[paper ermine]

A boss where you can only hit them like, 3 times before the disappear should not have 2000 fucking health, theres a reason first sinner has such low health

[lusty grove]

Sealed Siblings doesn't actually work yknow that right

[fiery burrow]

depends on your moral stance

[orchid spruce]

are we pretending hk has a moral dilemma and is deep and all that

[graceful oyster]

Ghost is pretty peak here I wouldn't cut it

[onyx python]

nah it works cuz hornet is powerful and she's gonna seal radiance with the knight forever 🔥

[lusty grove]

The Vessels would never work, Sealed Siblings just prolongs the inevitable

[fiery burrow]

yeah there is no true ending

[orchid spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/lol-gif-11059538064120696238

[graceful oyster]

I don't think mpekka is very well suited for your deck

[fiery burrow]

just depends on your outlook ykwim

[ancient mortar]

One issue is my marcher is chronically underleveled

[graceful oyster]

But mpekka is OP

[hardy tangle]

we just talk bout anything

[graceful oyster]

I would I could give you my leggy wild cards I have like 12

[lusty grove]

Ok so you either commit the same mistake as the Pale King or learn from his mistake and actually do something useful

[sharp slate]

Sealed sibiling is the good ending because hornet and the knight are going to die eventually and the radiance gets to eventually reclaim her kindom

[fiery burrow]

sure but why shouldn't hallownest get to live a little longer why do the mantes HAVE to be saved

[terse heart]

guys is it just me or is there just something wrong with karmelita's real form vs her elegy form

[fiery burrow]

Depends on if you think the Pale King was right or not

[graceful oyster]

I think I don't have any trade tokens left else I'd take any leggys you had on hand for my like, 30 random marcher cards

[lusty grove]

Cuz it's dead
The right thing to do is put it out of its slow and painful misery

[hardy tangle]

just you

[paper ermine]

Yeah there is

[ancient mortar]

Pekka would be easier to level on account of my 1600 rare wilds

[lusty grove]

I'm just using Sealed Sibling to mean both no-Radiance endings cuz it's when you actually get the choice

[graceful oyster]

Dang can I have some

[graceful oyster]

My deck is almost entirely rares

Pain in the ass to level up

[crimson dust]

Currently fighting karmaletta and ngl

[fiery burrow]

do you think mantes are better than hallownestians

[lusty grove]

TC explicitly said there isn't

[crimson dust]

Why does every boss gotta have a gauntlet 💀

[lusty grove]

Hallownestians are dead and Dream No More gives them a proper funeral

[hardy tangle]

currently fighting kilolitre

[fiery burrow]

You can buy hallownest a little more time in THK/SS

[ancient mortar]

Does my deck need mighty miner in it? I feel a tank buster feels important

[paper ermine]

But like, there is

[lusty grove]

You can keep Hallownest's citizens as zombies for a few more ages in THK/SS

[fiery burrow]

why do we have to accept the end why is the mantis tribe considered better than the hallownestians

[lusty grove]

And there probably aren't any other Vessels since we were the last, so you're keeping them in this half-dead state forever

[graceful oyster]

Probably, idk. I haven't deck built in like 6-7 years

[lusty grove]

HALLOWNESTIANS ARE DEAD

[graceful oyster]

I did do that on purpose btw, I am not brainrot exempt

[terse heart]

guys who else did the secret thing to unlock steel soul early and then never played it until beating the game fr

[fiery burrow]

that time is valuable?

look its ok if you prefer DNM but its the choice between buying Hallownest more time or letting it die for the mantis tribe

Its not a bad/good ending is my point

I also prefer DNM but that doesn't mean THK/SS is bad

[opaque sigil]

why should myla pay the cost

[fiery burrow]

Myla is fine with it she accepted the Radiance into her mind

[lusty grove]

There is no Hallownest. Hallownest was dead the moment the first bug got orange eyes. Every moment after that is pure pain and misery for every single one of its citizens. The Dream No More ending gives this rotting corpse of a kingdom a proper funeral

The Hollow Knight ending represents this false dichotomy you're making
There is nothing to save, it's all gone, the choice is between whether or not you accept that

[opaque sigil]

the story doesn't make a judgement on what ending is good or bad that's up to the player

[fiery burrow]

I don't think that's good writing, I would fight to keep Hallownest alive if it meant the bugs got a bit longer instead of letting it die and giving it a proper funeral

Its also not really explored if PK giving bugs sapience was moral in the first place, Dream No More is just kinda sloppily written

[lusty grove]

Do you genuinely believe that wouldn't be good writing? That the story about a doomed kingdom ruled by a desperate king who committed all kinds of a atrocities to try to buy as much time as he could, only to then fail miserably, and give his last child the same choice he had, except now we can see the truth and accept our fate instead of trying to delay it indefinitely, would be bad writing?

[tight viper]

I fucking hate these fuckass birds they’re evil and bad and I want them gone

[lusty grove]

Three kinds of people

[fiery burrow]

Its a choice between clinging onto the time we have now or letting go of it so something new can grow

Its not going to work forever but so what? Its all down to your perspective

[lusty grove]

And you really can't see how one of the choices us infinitely better than the other?

[fiery burrow]

No?

I think the writing kinda suffered from making PK this evil baby murdering monster

Because he's kinda right and embodied the moral choice of THK/SS

[lusty grove]

He was wrong. We see the consequences of him being wrong. He embodies the wrong choice.

[fiery burrow]

They threw away all nuance when they made him commit genocide

[sharp slate]

Squat craw will sit on your face for the rest of your crawfather fights

[lusty grove]

They threw away the nuance when they made him be wrong and commit a mistake and die miserably and alone because of his mistakes

[fiery burrow]

Do you think going on life support is a moral failing?

Should we just accept death immediately?

[lusty grove]

There is no moral choice because we see how one of the choices goes terribly wrong

[exotic cedar]

Pk dumbed many bodies in the abyss so abyss could look cool

[fiery burrow]

Yes but the writing forced him to become evil

[lusty grove]

I am in favor of euthanasia, yes

[ancient mortar]

Man I'm not remotely near top ladder any more there's so many more arenas

[lusty grove]

He did boot

[broken seal]

[fiery burrow]

bro what

you think life support is bad?

[light swan]

what are yall talking about rn i cant tell what this is

[graceful oyster]

Every time I got to the top the last couple of years, they added more. Pissed me off a bit

[broken seal]

🤷‍♀️

[trim estuary]

If I put your leg in a meatgrinder, then pull you out, and we can potentially save your life, do we euthanize you?

[sharp slate]

pale king evil or not someting something hallownest on life support

[lusty grove]

I think that, when someone is suffering immensely and cannot be saved, trying to save that person even when you know you can't is foolish

[opaque sigil]

||star's doing a bit|| (spoilers for the conversation)

[sleek rose]

i stopped playing right before hero baloon

[lusty grove]

"We can potentially save your life" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

[graceful oyster]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1465040306985504921/1500611979478306937/Screenshot_218.png?ex=69f9114f&is=69f7bfcf&hm=fa48c7a6a0c0f7bf3e45f8cc88f71552ef3cb6c2825c429723b10e2f1978f256&

[trim estuary]

Well yeah that’s the crux of the argument

[light swan]

what do you get

[graceful oyster]

Illusion would never die to Zango right?

[light swan]

theres no activate widnows, this isnt me

[lusty grove]

But in the case of Hallownest, we literally can't. We can't save their lives. They're all already dead, you're just making their death last longer

[graceful oyster]

I realized that after I took the screenshot that I cropped it out

[fiery burrow]

bro I just asked if life support was good

[opaque sigil]

insane checkmate

[trim estuary]

Errm except the Pale King literally found the solution to save the kingdom

[graceful oyster]

Trust me it is him but yeah, the windows is a really solid way to tell 😭

[trim estuary]

It just required almost everyone to die

[lusty grove]

And I connected the question back to the topic cuz the question itself is useless in this context

[lusty grove]

He was literally wrong about that

We see the effects of him being comically incorrect

[fiery burrow]

The moral dilemma of THK/SS is keeping Hallownest on life support or pulling the plug

[trim estuary]

Explain Dream No More then

[fiery burrow]

I'm saying the writing messed up by making PK evil just cuz they didn't like the life support idea

[lusty grove]

That is when you don't do what he wanted and instead kill the Radiance which is something he never even thought of doing

[light swan]

so basically youre a liar with 0 proof

[trim estuary]

Nah that was his plan all along

[sharp slate]

to be fair i rather have halllownest on life support because I assume the radiance is free after the hollow knight dies, which doesnt sound good

[lusty grove]

Then why didn't he just do that

[light swan]

whats yalls favorite things about your favorite silksong bosses gameplaywise?
be very specific

[fiery burrow]

DNM

[icy tide]

EXTREMELY off topic but savage beastfly is easy

[harsh yarrow]

They're far faster paced, and have far more varried attacks

[sharp slate]

if radiance is wrecking this much havoc from being inside thk, imagine what she does after you "pull the plug"

[lusty grove]

Fourth Chorus's hit box is a circle

[harsh yarrow]

watching gameplay of HK the bosses feel so slow

[icy tide]

DEFINITELY Karmelita

[fiery burrow]

Yea u are

[trim estuary]

Unlike ETV, where the void consumes Hallownest

[opaque sigil]

I like that crawfather makes you keep escape routes in mind while you fight so you don't get cornered

[lusty grove]

There is not an ending where you free Radiance, all endings include either her getting sealed again or you killing her

[icy tide]

Just the boss alone is insanely satisfying

[light swan]

i asked what your favorite thing about it is, and to be specific

[sharp slate]

Pace of the combat, They are extremely fair as well, every hit feels like your fault not the games imo

[light swan]

"the boss alone" gives me 0 information lol

[icy tide]

shoot

uhhh

[trim estuary]

Lace 2

[icy tide]

god i feel so left out i have bad vocabulary

[sharp slate]

im just saying thats how you could view the ending in a good way, but i agree that DNM is better than base ending

[harsh yarrow]

though ever ending where you do re-seal her I thought it was heavily implied that this is just delaying the inevitable

[icy tide]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[light swan]

also whos your favorite silksong boss

[lusty grove]

First Sinner is doable and kinda fun with Snare Setter only

[summer storm]

yayyy abyss climb

[fiery burrow]

The latter is true and that's bad yes

[umbral ether]

how did we go from talking about hollow knight lore to euthanasia

[trim estuary]

You are requited to pontificate greater terminology twinalicious

[sharp slate]

its between karm and second sentinel, though its hard to narrow down to one favorite tbh

[fiery burrow]

I don't think we should accept death I think we should fight to cling onto what time we have left

[icy tide]

the specific thing is how fast and balanced it is

[trim estuary]

This always happens

[icy tide]

it also really humbles you

[lusty grove]

Yes but she never really gets out, she just stays in and does her havoc from inside

[umbral ether]

FYM THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS

[fiery burrow]

Infection reanimates people

[trim estuary]

Euthanasia comes up so much bro

[fiery burrow]

They chose that path

[lavish apex]

the pace of karmelita's attacks

[sharp slate]

We are euthanizing hallownest basically

[icy tide]

after killing GMS multiple times i felt invincible

[lavish apex]

and her phase 2 mixups

[icy tide]

then Karmelita fucking humbled the SHIT out of me

[fiery burrow]

Destroy life support its evil according to Hollow Knight

[sharp slate]

I feel like there are different levels to the infections

[icy tide]

i had to get palesteel needle, 9 masks, and more JUST to beat Karmelita

[umbral ether]

what

[fiery burrow]

Another example of HK shooting itself in the foot by making one answer to the moral dilemma unambiguously bad

[light swan]

can yall elaborate on the pace? is it that it has a good rhythm and is fast n stuff

[sharp slate]

we see the ones in crossroads which are fucked and then people like sly that are just starting out infected

[lusty grove]

Someone tried to argue that making Hallownest's suffering last longer and putting it out of its suffering are both morally equal choices, and you can probably see where this goes

[icy tide]

It’s very unpredictable

[umbral ether]

ah

[icy tide]

And I feel like she adapts

[lusty grove]

You're the only one who sees it as a moral dilemma

[fiery burrow]

If DNM is about letting the kingdom die and giving it a funeral that's what the opposite is

[lusty grove]

It's not. It's a cautionary tale

[orchid spruce]

Not everything in media has to be morally gray and all that, it's fine

[trim estuary]

About what? Going on life support?

[icy tide]

Whether you’re passive, aggressive, or both, she manages to kill you at least once

[fiery burrow]

The devs never said one ending was better than the other

[sharp slate]

Feels like something is always going on, additionally i think skong compared to other games has a make your own openning type of gameplay style. A game like nine sols for example feels like it has very intended points where to attack, obviously silksong has that as well, but it feels very flexible when you decide to attack while remaining fast paced i guess

[fiery burrow]

Lace's VA said she thought it would be understandable if people thought THK was the better ending

[harsh yarrow]

we should talk instead about the implications of Strung to Serve and that its removal is kinda odd, that and the removal of the Shellwood-Steps elevator

[marsh ibex]

no

[lusty grove]

About committing grave and horrible mistakes. And traumatizing kids. And dealing with problems by fixing the symptoms instead of the cause. And changing sides mid-war. And trusting uncontrollable forces. And stuff

[fiery burrow]

oh is that what's up with the opening cutscene going across the shellwood bridge

[harsh yarrow]

yep

[fiery burrow]

[harsh yarrow]

lemme find it rq

[fiery burrow]

Yeah its a secret ending, not a true one

[light swan]

yea i get that

[lusty grove]

Anyone with the smallest inch of media literacy could probably figure that out on their own

[light swan]

is this mainly the curvesickles? or is there more to it im forgetting

[fiery burrow]

Media literacy is about interpretation

[harsh yarrow]

top of the elevator shaft

[fiery burrow]

Its up to the players worldview

[tight viper]

What if First Sinner was secretly Grand Mother Silk

[lavish apex]

yeah

[lusty grove]

Your worldview is weird

[fiery burrow]

My worldview is that we should all have the right to live as long as we possibly can

[light swan]

would you say any other boss has examples of these mixups? maybe lost lace's dashes

[fiery burrow]

HK believes death is the answer

[marsh ibex]

ew

don’t ruin first sinner for me.

[sharp slate]

DNM doesnt guarentee everyones death though, i still think some of the infected are salavagable

[tight viper]

Just think about it, it makes perfect sense

[rocky jolt]

hello handsome

[lavish apex]

sort of the followup after the 2 stab lunges that she and lace 2 have?

[harsh yarrow]

it was a massive elevator, one large enough to say... fit Hornet in a cage + a full chamber

[lusty grove]

My worldview is that we shouldn't get into situations like Hallownest's in the first place, but if we ever do, we should have the right to be put out of our immense suffering

[tight viper]

Both are Silk users trapped in prisons

So they must be the same person!

[lavish apex]

also like all of karmelita's attacks are just really fun to dodge

[marsh ibex]

what?

[lavish apex]

esp curvesickles

[light swan]

what do you think of mixups suchas like, second sentinel having the option to either windblade or dive down, i dont know if thats the same

[marsh ibex]

how the fuck are gonna get into a situation like hallownests

[lusty grove]

You missed a lot

[lusty grove]

You missed a LOT

[lavish apex]

cool conceptually but i feel like it doesn't work as well

[lusty grove]

If by "him" you mean me, yes, I was being metaphorical

[fiery burrow]

The bugs chose to live forever

[lusty grove]

The bugs died

[light swan]

how come

[fiery burrow]

Its not up to TK

[ocean solar]

when is sea of sorrow coming out

[harsh yarrow]

Speaking of Shellwood

[lusty grove]

The bugs are all dead those are husks

[sharp slate]

no clue no one knows

[fiery burrow]

TK just chooses whether they should die or not. Why should it have that control?

[harsh yarrow]

You want to know my single least favorite change TC made from 2021 to the current map?

[sharp slate]

We dont know that though

[old compass]

well I guess just, imagine fungi infection that works on humans and we got a single person who needs to be killed to be studied because they're the first person found immune-
like the movies

[sharp slate]

i dont get how we just assume everyone infected is dead, sly and bretta were infected in the beginning of the game

[lavish apex]

their hitboxes are way bigger

[lusty grove]

I think you severely misunderstand one tiny detail:
Those are all reanimated dead bodies, all citizens of Hallownest are dead and sealing the Radiance wouldn't revive them

[fiery burrow]

they're still alive

[marsh ibex]

Son

[lusty grove]

They're called husks

[lone crag]

what is happening

[hybrid steppe]

What's the most thematically fitting build for loat lace? Y'see, I was planning on doing Shaman to use all 3 silk skills that are similar to Hornet's movement in Hallownest. But then I got the Pail Nail which would definitely be quite the sting to Lace's ego

[opaque sigil]

they weren't fully infected yet

[lusty grove]

They're all called husks

[fiery burrow]

again this is bad writing

[sharp slate]

my assumption for DMN ending is that many of the bugs will be dead for example in forgotten crossroads those extremely infected, but there are probably some that have a chance to live

[old compass]

I watch too many weird zombie movies

[fiery burrow]

Its not a "bad vs true" ending its an ending that lacks proper catharsis vs a narratively flawed one

[harsh yarrow]

This is the upper section of Shellwood
Red is the Holy Bench- which is now the Shellwood Bell (the bell at this time was on the right of Aspid_01, where the toll bench is now)
Green is the Bellway
...Blue is the Mask Shard Room
It was originally reached by pogoing the bell bench bells.

[lusty grove]

It's a "repeat the same mistakes" vs "learn something" ending

[sharp slate]

What about stuff like mosskin though for example, they could in theory have a chance to live

[lusty grove]

Also the opposite of bad is good, not true

[fiery burrow]

read their dreamnail dialogue

[harsh yarrow]

I HATE that they removed all the secrets from pogoing the bell benchs

they were cool D:

[sharp slate]

we know moss knights and mosskin are infected as well, but DNM in theory could free them

[lusty grove]

Most of them are probably as fucked as the volatile one on the inside

[sharp slate]

We have no metric for that as well, its just a guess

[lusty grove]

Read their name

[fiery burrow]

not the biggest neutering of bell benches

[fiery burrow]

they're reanimated

[lusty grove]

They do bleed orange

[harsh yarrow]

what was though?

[lusty grove]

Yeah exactly, they're reanimated dead bodies

[rocky jolt]

sos may 15

[sharp slate]

moos knights dont change throughout the story

i mean the little shrubs

[lusty grove]

They won't come back to life if Radiance dies/gets sealed

[fiery burrow]

weren't they tied to changing the world n stuff

or am I misremembering

[harsh yarrow]

we have zero clue what attuning the bell benches did

which is sad, as knowing would be really useful for me

[fiery burrow]

we love fire AND we love ice. kendrick and drake, we reunite 🗣️

[harsh yarrow]

because Im a modder recreating the 2021 map, guess

[marsh ibex]

Food

[void moat]

coral gorge and antlands

[sharp slate]

i think i meant mosscreep not mosskin @subtle lynx

yea i gotchu yea they are fucked in DMN ending imo

[ashen pulsar]

What's the most efficient way to abuse the silk anklet's speed boost without losing silk?

[sharp slate]

im not convinced every infected bug is fucked though because we see sly and bretta snap out of it

[void moat]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-ishowspeed-speed-stream-ishowspeed-stream-speed-nod-gif-1082323842437565509

[lusty grove]

The infected bugs bleed orange
They're all dead

[marsh ibex]

remove the tool

[graceful oyster]

What do have to gain from lying?

[fiery burrow]

i remember an interview saying it would've affected difficulty

[sharp slate]

does dung defended bleed orange as well

[fiery burrow]

or something along those lines

[ashen pulsar]

No i like the speed boost

[harsh yarrow]

ari is online, you think if I ping em they'd tell? /j

[sharp slate]

looks alive to me

[marsh ibex]

well yeah but reanimation entails being brought back to life is what star is saying

[lusty grove]

He's not infected, so no

[opaque sigil]

bonfire ascetics

[marsh ibex]

if it didn’t then yknow, dream bosses wouldn’t spawn lmao

[eager elm]

yes for some reason

[old compass]

well jump abit every 4 or 3 seconds or smth

[eager elm]

no clue why

[harsh yarrow]

would've been effected by difficulty, namely Silksoul did something with them

[lusty grove]

Their organs stopped working and were replaced with Radiance goo
If Radiance gets sealed, they all go back to death

[light swan]

idk, im not a wretched monster like you

[harsh yarrow]

But after it got removed, Silk Soul got removed, and was replaced by Steel Soul

Strong will

[lone crag]

i don't know what's happening but the hunter writes this about the husks
These "civilised" bugs of Hallownest were weak in life and now they are equally weak in death.

[opaque sigil]

but you could be if you hopped on yomi and played mutant

[fiery burrow]

He's checking for the best HKAM artist to hire for Sea of Sorrow clearly

[ashen pulsar]

Do yall think there's a chance of new modes getting added in a DLC (like some sort of hard mode that isn't just permadeath)

[void moat]

hes commenting on how them hoarding wealth didnt help their strength i think

[harsh yarrow]

clearly

[old compass]

well only godmaster mode is there

[void moat]

yall seen how sos might be releasing this month

[lone crag]

this is wandering husk

[harsh yarrow]

I highly recomend Mebi, but not because I need them for commission soon™ XD

[ashen pulsar]

Godmaster is kind of useless TBH

[void moat]

oh

[opaque sigil]

it might release any month

[ashen pulsar]

Wait no godseeker's the useless one

[graceful oyster]

[harsh yarrow]

I like how people are thinking that the person actually knew something

[sharp slate]

i cant wait for a godsoul for silksong 🫠

[harsh yarrow]

it was just a shitpost that Leth responded to because it was funny

the guy was freaking out on the HK wiki discord that Leth responded to a shitpost

[fiery burrow]

shoutout to Mebi's tool lore series

[void moat]

interacting with this community mid-dlc wait is a mistake

[harsh yarrow]

nah

thats the communities fault

[opaque sigil]

interacting with this community~~ mid-dlc wait~~ is a mistake

[harsh yarrow]

the community needs to learn that Leth is a human

[ashen pulsar]

Despite the game being out for over half a year this community still blows any crumb of news way out of proportion

[harsh yarrow]

and will do shit because its funny

[graceful oyster]

Are we really still on the emoji

[opaque sigil]

somehow

[void moat]

we just got back on it, just a bad time

[ashen pulsar]

"HE SENT AN EMOJI!!!!!! SEA OF SORROW TOMORROW CONFIRMED!!!!!!1!!!"

[lone crag]

on tumblr?

[void moat]

i just got here i thought itd be funny to mention

[fiery burrow]

not even any news on NEO TITAN yet does this guy even do his job

[fiery burrow]

yes

[void moat]

i wonder what ever happened to crowsworn i havent seen anything about it in awhile

[harsh yarrow]

They're still working on it

[opaque sigil]

anyways tc wouldn't release in may they'd be too scared of rogue core rock and stone

[harsh yarrow]

lol

[ashen pulsar]

Leth gets paid millions to advertise games that tell him to say one thing every six months each

[sharp slate]

Partly TCs fault as well because they refuse to communicate xD

[fiery burrow]

releasing in the same year as MIO and GTA6 would be a big mistake the competition is just too big

[eager elm]

SoS = a call sign for sinking ships

[ashen pulsar]

What's MIO

[opaque sigil]

yeah how dare they make the game

[harsh yarrow]

Crowsworn looks cool though

same with Roc's Oddessy

[ashen pulsar]

Wtf is MIO

[opaque sigil]

ok but capcom is acc on a crazy run

[harsh yarrow]

Still excited to see that come back for another try

[void moat]

sk-discussion getting ready to glaze

[fiery burrow]

character action inspired metroidvanias 😍

[eager elm]

memories in orbit

[sharp slate]

Huh? Plenty of devs have communicated while making their game

[rocky jolt]

shut up

[eager elm]

that's your answer

[harsh yarrow]

oh

[ashen pulsar]

They would be foolish to release it the same year as DMC6 and Half life 3 (This year totally)

[opaque sigil]

which tc did a normal amount people just freaked out because they're parasocial weirdos

[fiery burrow]

why tf would the DLC have a whole on rollout besides a few teasers 😭

[harsh yarrow]

Tammo, Starpengu, look at this

Jcera (@jcera.bsky.social)

Sadly, I dont think anyone from TC monitors here, but I did find some cool stuff!

Hornet had a bunch more voicelines for quite awhile, heard in the 2019 trailer and the 2025 Press Kit video thingy they put out.

...So I reenabled them in game, for the fun of it!

[rocky jolt]

half life mentioned

[harsh yarrow]

I found Shaw (Saa) and Adino ;3

[fiery burrow]

KASA?

[ashen pulsar]

Guaraná

[fiery burrow]

hearing the trailer noises warms the heart ❤️‍🩹

[harsh yarrow]

ye

[sharp slate]

People did get overhyped, but I honestly dont think TC did good job with communication imo. Look at something like morbid metal for example, amazing communication, they are a slightly bigger team though to be fair

[fiery burrow]

I mean I get wanting more communication its down to preference

But imo it did its job the marketing went well the game was a hit

[void moat]

i think they shouldve communicated more but shown less

[fiery burrow]

true

[harsh yarrow]

it was a blast to find
You want to know what caused me to find it? Within a folder in Silksong, theres a "demo set" folder, ton of old voicelines for the Chapel Maid, Forge Daughter, Ballow, ect

[fiery burrow]

sansybooooo

[harsh yarrow]

In that folder, is this GEM

[void moat]

wayyy too much was shown bro we shouldve never even gotten a glimpse of the citadel

[ashen pulsar]

That got me thinking, besides Garama what other hornet voicelines made it into Silksong?

[opaque sigil]

people would've just been mad at everything

[harsh yarrow]

shit I forgot to attatch it

[void moat]

theyre already mad at everything anyway

[fiery burrow]

remember when we got news at an xbox event and this channel still got pissed and accused TC of selling out

[void moat]

silksong fan screams at no news

[opaque sigil]

so why capitulate just let them whine it doesn't matter

[fiery burrow]

Life if they never released the 2019 trailer with ant spires and coral gorge

and barnacle bay and colored blood

[void moat]

the fact they clickbaited us with the coral tower entry

[fiery burrow]

TRUE

[ashen pulsar]

Did they ever say anything about the pandemic affecting development at all?

[fiery burrow]

Maybe their communication sucked after all that was clearly just there to be rude to the LOYAL fans

[void moat]

i dont think it really would slow it down considering its a two man team

maybe if one of them got sick

[ashen pulsar]

Isnt it a 3 man team

[fiery burrow]

I thought that was release trailer

idk its been a while but iirc april 2 showed high halls and mount fay?

[void moat]

ari gibson and william pellen make the game, larkin makes the music but he doesnt work for tc afaik

[light swan]

i thought it was gonna be a lategame area, above bilewater

[sharp slate]

In theory covid wouldn't slow them down that much, though I think silksong got out of scale way to quick for them

[light swan]

i didnt mind that they were hiding lategame areas

i genuinely thought that the shakra area would lead into the red coral gorge

[ashen pulsar]

The good thing about them taking so long between the announcement trailer and release is that i forgot pretty much every single spoiler from the first trailer by the time i played the game

[light swan]

and then putrified fucks happened

[opaque sigil]

imagine ripping off half life and still sucking

[fiery burrow]

I was in sands of karak I should've known

[light swan]

did you think it was gonna be act 3 only

[fiery burrow]

YES

[void moat]

honestly it shouldve

[fiery burrow]

I was thinking it would be a quest to get there or something 😭

[light swan]

valid

kind of like verdania

[void moat]

if khann's kingdom and troops are so special to him give HIM the dream world

[harsh yarrow]

unpopular opinion

[ashen pulsar]

I was honestly really sad when i realised sands of karak was the replacement for the coral biome because i think Karak is the worst area in the game

[harsh yarrow]

the removal of the Red Coral Gorge was a good thing

[ashen pulsar]

I know there's bilewater but at least in bilewater you can move around freely

[harsh yarrow]

For the story Team Cherry wanted to tell, it was the right choice

[ashen pulsar]

in sands of Karak you gotta stand in a tiny spot half the time

[fiery burrow]

Glazing coral gorge is the reason this heart still beats

[harsh yarrow]

Now, Im a modder, and I dont realllly give a shit ;3

[void moat]

coral gorge couldve worked as a parallel to fighting against toxic religion

[harsh yarrow]

but its not 2019 Coral Gorge, the 2021 gorge is a bunch darker

[light swan]

im not that upset we didnt get the coral gorge because we have sands of karak and i kind of like the atmosphere and vibes of karak more

it just so happens that gameplaywise sands of karak is a nothingburger so i dont love the area

i still want an extended rewally big weavenest area

[ashen pulsar]

But as a storytelling device sands of Karak is a great way to visualize how much i want to punch GMS to death with my bare hands

[fiery burrow]

We got E33 flying waters anyway

[light swan]

that was what i was imagining when i first found weaenest atla, but thats also a nothingburger area

[void moat]

e33 drank all the water using their ai assets or something and funneled it into their game or something

[orchid spruce]

sands of karak is a rare sandwich amidst the nothingburgers

[void moat]

sands of karak has no gameplay but lovely bosses and amazing items

[light swan]

i still think sands of karak is good

[void moat]

if only it had good gameplay on top of that

[ashen pulsar]

Karak and Atla for me had the biggest missed potential in the entire game and honestly if they made a DLC expanding the Weavenests i'd be happy

[orchid spruce]

like, in act 2, what other sandwiches are there except citadel and bilewater

[void moat]

its good just coumd be much better

[ashen pulsar]

technically 3

[void moat]

khann, conchflies, voltvyrm, wate

[sharp slate]

3

[opaque sigil]

it's frustrating if you find it before the big ol marker on the map unlocks the content there

[fiery burrow]

Monster Hunter Coral Highlands is good too

[light swan]

citadel has like 5 areas, theres underworks theres mount fay

[void moat]

coral tower and voltnest are mapless subareas

[light swan]

sands of karak are still high tho

[fiery burrow]

People talk a lot about how the destruction of coral gorge showcases GMS/The Citadel's influence effectively but its not even explained what happened to it 😭

[light swan]

i found sinners road in act 2 and i liked it

its just too small to do anything

[fiery burrow]

I also think art direction comes before lore but that's a bit more controversial I think

[light swan]

i wouldnt mind if sinners road got turned into bilewater

[void moat]

finding clues like scooby doo to piece together the mystery of the lost water

[ashen pulsar]

I just love the idea of a water focused area in a Hollow knight game that doesn't make me want to kill myself (Unlike Royal Waterways Bilewater and Putrified Ducts)

[light swan]

i agree

i firmly stand by the idea that sands of karak and lower deepdocks should be act 3 specific

[ashen pulsar]

And i am sad that they took it away from me once again

[void moat]

i dont even think the way karak died makes sense why is there no writing of a war or conflict and why did khann die on his throne

karak is one big vaguepost

[opaque sigil]

what doubly sucks is that the rings by pinstress's hut are like the best instance of "oh this ability can be used there!" in the game but if you actually act on that too early haha fuck you

[light swan]

coral gorge dlc trust

[void moat]

i personally dont think it was high halls i honestly just think it was plugged or taken to drink from

[fiery burrow]

I ❤️ my AI slop

[void moat]

karak water is blue as hell

[light swan]

the two spots of clawline rings i had in my head were sands of karak and lower deepdocks

sincerely please remove those and replace it with like silksoar or smth

[full halo]

ahhhh e33 my beloved

[opaque sigil]

yup atp the only case of those that isn't lame is mt fay

[full halo]

e33 dlc > silksong dlc

[void moat]

they could very well be taking it from mt fay, that lines up more imo cause water is still running while karak is dry as a bone

[light swan]

literally half of this should be act 3

[void moat]

i found the diving bell in act 3 and thats so bad

[eager elm]

what's yall's wildest SoS theories

[void moat]

act 2 i mean

not act 3

[opaque sigil]

finding the diving bell in act 2 and it for some reason closing the shortcut I opened so I had to do the fuckass lava slug section twice

[light swan]

the area is good enough as it is, people still loved it

[eager elm]

most unhinged, weirdest theories yall actually believe

[void moat]

it should be an a3 exclusive, it isnt even good foreshadowing

[void moat]

barnacle boss

[old compass]

well I found this at the end of act 2 so I guess it was ok

[ashen pulsar]

Bossfight with that Lifeblood monster in the abyss from Godhome

[fiery burrow]

I thought diving bell would lead to an atmospheric oppressive deep lava section with tons of aura and stuff

[eager elm]

i think that too

[fiery burrow]

Thanks snail shamans

[ashen pulsar]

I think that would be so sick

[void moat]

instead it leads to silksong's doom

[eager elm]

get crazier

[light swan]

only really thing i believe in is that zote is greyroots son

[eager elm]

THIS is what i want to see

[light swan]

oh wait youre asking for SoS theorues

[fiery burrow]

Do I almost feel fear?

[eager elm]

that makes no sense but it would be really funny

[void moat]

what if greyroot in the past had a kid with a chud grey wyrm

[light swan]

Silksong: Root and Wyrm

[old compass]

STOP IT WITH THE GLOOMSAC

Quirrel comes back but his life is dependant on him chugging lifeblood

[eager elm]

Zylotol said plasmium can defy death itself

[void moat]

i want karak refugees living in the sea

[light swan]

abbreviated to hk: ss: raw

[ashen pulsar]

I refuse to call it plasmium screw you

[eager elm]

lifeblood

[void moat]

that actually give us real karak lore

[fiery burrow]

Never ever put me in a position where I have to show you how CALCULATED my first light really is

[eager elm]

zylotol said plasmium so i used it in the quote but i normally call it lifeblood

[cinder helm]

When is sea of sorrow coming?

[eager elm]

the big 26

[void moat]

how hornet feels #roasting her dad for something out of his control whilst currently dealing with something entirely her fault

[cinder helm]

26?

[ashen pulsar]

These damn woke liberalls changin the names of the blue juice like we wouldnt notice

[fiery burrow]

the void isn't really her fault idk why the game frames it that way

Maybe Sharpe hijacked the dialogue

[eager elm]

My karak theory is that we're gonna use some sort of time travel magic because TC likes that (Red memory, elegy of the deep, DNail to some extent)

[old compass]

tbf it could just be bias from her dad not being a good dad to her personally

[ashen pulsar]

I know it's not gonna happen but i really wish we could get some water bending-esque attacks from the new crest

she's chill with white lady

to be fair he's a king struggling trying to keep his dying kingdom alive she should cut him some slack

[graceful oyster]

[orchid spruce]

they should keep vagueposting. look what happened when they strayed from it

[eager elm]

what did pk actually do wrong

[ashen pulsar]

I wanna drown every boss in the New godhome to death

[eager elm]

like on purpose

[graceful oyster]

[void moat]

the vessel plan was undoubtedly evil

not like he wanted to do it because he was evil though

but it is terrible

[ashen pulsar]

He's not necessarily a bad ruler he's just evil and really fucking stupid

[unreal ice]

What if you
Wanted to get into Act 2
But Phantom decided
To move just enough to kill you with contact damage

[old compass]

dang pale king really magically summoned so many defenders after skong came out /jk

[fiery burrow]

PK's character flaw is that he thought the kingdom would last forever that's about it

I've always been a PK defender ❤️‍🩹

[eager elm]

aw dangit there's an ancient god removing sentience from my citizens i should just relax and do nothing!

[fiery burrow]

Except for uh my first lore convo or wtv

[ashen pulsar]

Are we moralityscaling commiting genocide on your own children now

[unreal ice]

PK is a good ruler, but a delusional one

[void moat]

he committed mass infanticide that's an evil act and objectively something bad hes done

[sharp slate]

Oh god here we go again

[fiery burrow]

It was a trolley problem tho

[void moat]

the difference is he was still shameful of it, makes him better but doesnt invslidate how bad jt was

[light swan]

the pale king did nothing wrong

[storm pagoda]

I feel like going through the myst is too much of a price just to get a parry

[fiery burrow]

Its def something bad but it was kinda the lesser of two evils

[eager elm]

entrance to peak

[ashen pulsar]

Time for the once-every-2-hour-discussion about PK's morality

[eager elm]

also parry is GOATED

[void moat]

true yeah

[storm pagoda]

But I know id do it all again. For my sweet sweet parry

[light swan]

i feel like paying 20 dollars and doing every single achievement in this game is too much of a price just to get some sort of medal on my profile

[eager elm]

how dare you, you non-masochist-not-impossible-attack-parrying-fool

[void moat]

i shouldve used better wording mb

[ashen pulsar]

If there was nothing to discuss then we people would not be disscussing it

[storm pagoda]

I did that shit in 80 hours. Get on my level

[fiery burrow]

PK was a good guy TK is pure Lace is a child Act 3 is bad Embrace the Void is good and Phantom is genderless. Good night

[unreal ice]

I wonder, was PK able to foresee the pure vessel's failure?

[eager elm]

yes

i think

[old compass]

I DIDN'T EVEN SWEAR

WHAT DID I SAY WRONG

[void moat]

i thought phantom went by she/her though

[storm pagoda]

Wait so the bot blocks other words, but not "shit"?

[fiery burrow]

You get it lowk

[eager elm]

TK is NOT pure

[unreal ice]

Ah
Then I suppose it was already too late by the time he saw it

[eager elm]

it feels pain and has a will

[fiery burrow]

tf when did chat get based

[storm pagoda]

When the Germans gave up

[fiery burrow]

The bot doesn't block swears but it does block NSFW terms and slurs

Idk what you said tho

[old compass]

I said I'm gonna explode

[ashen pulsar]

Do yall think we'll see any of the HK bosses in the Godhome 2.0

[storm pagoda]

I said shit. Not the bad bad words

[void moat]

no

[woeful skiff]

prob the shade lord. thats what i want

[dusk quail]

is it talking about wanderer being bad

[void moat]

i do expect to see powered up versions of the successors, a buffed gms fight, and maybe a tk fight

[storm pagoda]

Borito language.

[old compass]

wait I think I know why it was flagged as nsfw 💔 it wasn't my intend though

[unreal ice]

I headcanon that The Knight feels whatever we feel so the void inside is vibrating shaking seething in absolute rage after the 25th P5 run

[sharp slate]

anyone who says wanderer is bad is just wrong 🤣

[dusk quail]

i wouldnt think so, i think TC wants to maintain shade lord as the canonical strongest

[eager elm]

...It refuses to trade...? It has a will... all Its own. Can refuse. Jinn will keep waiting... until a gift comes.

[storm pagoda]

how do i get muckmaggot journal entry? im using a volt filament silk skill on them but its not working

If the final boss of Pantheon of Pharloom is another fucking lace fight i swear to god

remove winged nosk from godhome after playing silksong

[eager elm]

||voltvessels||

[dusk quail]

me when i have to learn the bosses moves and actually play the game but then i find wanderer crest:

[eager elm]

electricution

[limber tulip]

so the wiki lied to me

[woeful skiff]

oh. well one i also thought would be pinmaster pinley, but thats not probable.

[storm pagoda]

I bet you drive like a conservative grandma

[limber tulip]

good to know.

[steel escarp]

He did, probably.

The only future he couldn't foresee relate to the void heart because it demanded the king's soul.

[sharp slate]

Ah the classic "wanderer players dont need to play the game mentality" weak

[old compass]

watch it be another laxe fight-

[void moat]

probably p4

[ashen pulsar]

So you're saying it's so good that it trivializes the game?

[dusk quail]

gang you talk like a redditor

[eager elm]

you know back in my day

[dusk quail]

im saying its boring. thats why its bad.

[fiery burrow]

Wanderer is working at a disadvantage if anything since it has 1 red slot

[sharp slate]

boring is different then bad

[storm pagoda]

Now you sound like granny smith

[light swan]

guys im new to silksong community but

[sharp slate]

boring is subjective bad is not

[ashen pulsar]

That can be said about pretty much every high DPS thing in the game

[storm pagoda]

Go back to sweet apple acres

[light swan]

i feel like wanderer players dont need to play the game

[dusk quail]

boring is exactly equal to bad

[woeful skiff]

give it architechs red slots

[fiery burrow]

TLDR cope + seethe + if you used hunter/witch/architect/reaper you were playing on baby mode

[steel escarp]

Do we think the Grimmchild is running around in the world?

It's been a long, LONG time since the first game, going by hornet's account

[void moat]

since the hallownest pantheons spelled something, what do we think the silksong pantheons might spell?

[opaque sigil]

Truth nuke

[unreal ice]

It's either basic attack spam or tool spam

[ashen pulsar]

What did they spell

[sharp slate]

bad is such a generic term, if you didnt want to be misunderstood should have said boring

[dusk quail]

and im not saying that theyre good?

[void moat]

mask (not including pantheon of hallownest(

master, artist, whatever the hell the last two were

[sharp slate]

i think wanderer is fun tbh, lets me optimize bosses without worrying about moveset gimmicks

[void moat]

master artist sage sometbing

[ashen pulsar]

Sage and knight

[eager elm]

Reaper is HORRIBLE compared to the others
insanely slow attack speed

[void moat]

yeah

[unreal ice]

Is the Longclaw an act 2 item

[dusk quail]

mathew, who's we?? are you the one animating the jiggle physics or smth??

[sharp slate]

its not even bad, just not the highest dps

reaper is the safety crest

[storm pagoda]

Dawg im gonna call oph on yall

[eager elm]

architect moveset is bad not the crest itself

[void moat]

how team cherry feels after nerfing moorwing and sister splinter but never buffing reaper

[light swan]

guys give me (serious) ideas for second sentinel modded boss

[sharp slate]

extra range + bind ability makes reaper pretty solid survival choice imo

[void moat]

has hollow knight nailmaster and nailsage nail arts

[eager elm]

two of them, symmetrical attacks

[woeful skiff]

beastfly sentinle would be funny

[steel escarp]

Reach and Bind are great.

Plus the dash attack is super safe

[dusk quail]

bruh thye nerfed reaper too cuz pollip pouch/volt filament (i forgot which one exactly) used to make the bind silk orbs do damage

[fiery burrow]

TIL leth has a wikipedia page where it talks about his "mixed" reception

[unreal ice]

I think the Reaper was designed to be the platforming crest

[eager elm]

like they move in symetry like cogwork dancers

[sharp slate]

Second sentinel but its moveset changes based on the crest the player has equipped

[ashen pulsar]

Why did they nerf sister splinter actually

[storm pagoda]

I like apple jacks

[fiery burrow]

PC Gamer writer Harvey Randall was mixed on Griffin confirming a pre-Holiday 2025 release in Discord, stating "[Team Cherry is] under no obligation to do things the traditional way... but... maybe if you want your game to be successful, this isn't a very good way to make your dreams come true?
couldn't have aged worse

[eager elm]

architect exists yk

[void moat]

summons dealt two damage which i can see being a little evil, but other bosses needed a nerf instead

cough cough the ever-monstrous savage beastfly

[unreal ice]

I don't have Architect yet how am I supposed to know how the platforming is

[storm pagoda]

thats like saying a tactical nuke is the same as a clown

[lavish apex]

this is fake

the second reply, not the emoji

[woeful skiff]

the cereal or the resturant?

[storm pagoda]

the cereal and the small horse

[woeful skiff]

oh, i like the resturant

[unreal ice]

Sea Of Sorrow will release with Deltarune chapter 5 trust

[storm pagoda]

never heard of it

[light swan]

ok time to think about all these ideas and see if ill do them

[old compass]

HELP I DON'T USE X.COM I CAN'T CHECK
I'm just gonna ignore all tweet news...

[light swan]

im already planning on having new nail arts, idk if theyll be the nailsage specifically tho

[storm pagoda]

qué

[lavish apex]

i just checked he did not say that

[storm pagoda]

Me gusta el programa raro con los caballos pequeños.

[light swan]

unfortunately will have to leave this to a different fight, i want a 1v1

[void moat]

thatd be cool, maybe the painter nailarts?

you could give them an inkblade

[barren hare]

silkpost

[light swan]

this is possible but i dont wanna do it lol id prefer have 1 boss thats fun with every crest and thats my goal rn

[sharp slate]

fair lol

[steel escarp]

Beastfly ain't that bad

Can't wait for a lifeblood beastfly variant

[light swan]

some ideas i had for scissor strikes are uhhh

[void moat]

on a new playthrough it is evil

[light swan]

they have their cross slash, im planning on making one where they shoot a bigger windblade that spawns the big choir clapper runes

[woeful skiff]

No. NO. YOU WILL NOT DO THAT. NO BEASTFLY

[old compass]

I get dream bosses are a thing but why do I feel like TC repeat bosses more in skong...

[steel escarp]

Even new, it's just pogo or up attack.

While going hard on the punish window with spells.

If it calls adds, let the beast fly kill them.

[fiery burrow]

LLace

[woeful skiff]

lace, beastfly. uhhh choir clappers

[old compass]

shouldn't you be going "gn chat"

[steel escarp]

Cuz they do.

But it makes sense.

Unlike the knight, it's not like 90% of pharloom is feral from illness.

More like 65%

[light swan]

they have some stabs i could use, similar to the yellow

[fiery burrow]

i guess

[woeful skiff]

i wonder if there is a silksong map maker

[fiery burrow]

good night or wtv... sigh...

[dusk quail]

there are more repeat bosses in hk than in silksong, wdym

and when they do repeat them, theyre usually stronger

[storm pagoda]

Son, im afraid there already is..

[old compass]

yes, that's the question

[odd hull]

Can you make him change trajectory/direction mid air during the helicopter attack? I think it would be cool for him to zig zag

[hardy tangle]

are there any goth baddies in hollow knight

[dusk quail]

TK

[woeful skiff]

ooooh, is it availible on switch?

[storm pagoda]

No.

[dusk quail]

yo would HK be goth or emo

[storm pagoda]

Its called, a file

[woeful skiff]

GODDAMIT

[light swan]

i dont know how fun that would be but theres no way to reflect objects yet, although i did suggest to cometcake to add that suggestion

[hardy tangle]

im crine bro

[storm pagoda]

Ngl, I finished lost lace while binging my little pony.

[woeful skiff]

i think both

[old compass]

HK is definitely emo

[hardy tangle]

goth larpers

[hardy tangle]

not a goth at all

[woeful skiff]

i beat it before i went to bed last week

[storm pagoda]

Get on my level, gir.

[hardy tangle]

there are no goths in hollow knight

[graceful oyster]

[hardy tangle]

its all emo

[woeful skiff]

AN INVADER ZIM FAN IN THIS SERVER?! ts must be a dream

[eager elm]

what about something like this for the midair slash
red = hurtbox green = safe spaces (adjust difficulty accordingly)

[storm pagoda]

I watched the show and the movie. The show was better.

[eager elm]

proof of concept not a full idea

[hardy tangle]

could the arrows be any thicker

[odd hull]

Alr.

[light swan]

you want them to shoot 3 projectiles?

[tight viper]

I want to kill Crawfather with hammers

[eager elm]

yes by a lot

[woeful skiff]

i agree.

[eager elm]

maybe without the middle

[tight viper]

I am very angry with that bird and his bird buddies

[void moat]

why though

[tight viper]

His birdies, if you will

[tight viper]

He is being mean

[old compass]

crawfather was right though-

[woeful skiff]

bird?

[storm pagoda]

Et tu, Gabby gums

[tight viper]

I don’t care if he’s right, I just care if he’s dead

[woeful skiff]

oh nvm

[tight viper]

I want to hit him with a Honda Civic

[opaque sigil]

That orb that I hate

[woeful skiff]

what did crawfather do to you gng? 😭

[storm pagoda]

what did he not do to us?

[tight viper]

He knows what he did

[eternal arrow]

wsg yall

[eager elm]

maybe something like this idk

he has two scissors and he's only using one of em

[woeful skiff]

i beat him first try. he was not that hard. yall have skill issues

[eager elm]

to slash

[tight viper]

No floor, no wall, no silk skill, no hit: Crawfather

[sharp slate]

Yea Frito you have a major skill issue

get gud

[tight viper]

I am trying

[lavish apex]

dancers

[woeful skiff]

pogo

[tight viper]

And the birds say “NO!”

[light swan]

as of rn i dont plan on making any new animations

[woeful skiff]

yes

[eager elm]

oh ok

[graceful oyster]

Look, Mutant has jukes that make predictions hard, Cowboy has bullets that are OP, Ninja's store momentum is the most breakable thing on the face of the planet, Robot has flight, Wizard has orb. It's fine.

[light swan]

but also i have no idea how to work with the projectiles, which illl figure out but apparently theyre super hard to work with, maybe even impossible when modding

[tight viper]

I. HATE. COURT OF CRAWS.

All the other birds make me do the Silksong dance and they shout “go white bug go”

[old compass]

r u making second sentinel but harder

[graceful oyster]

But also Orb is undeniably the best super in the entire game

[woeful skiff]

that fucking bird i hate- Dashie

[eager elm]

deniably*

[steel escarp]

Hot take.

I think the beast crest Hornet should be able to taunt through boss Phase 2 roars/shouts.

just for aura.

[light swan]

but funner, not necessarily harder

[torn token]

I forgot just how underwhelming gms is ngl

[graceful oyster]

An argument can be made for kill process, but orb's 100% guaranteed tide turning is better than kill process's 9 super and a dream

[eager elm]

it's to make the cursed achievement possivle

[torn token]

Thats fair

[steel escarp]

She's just waking up from ages of forced slumber.

I didn't expect her to put up a fight.

[rocky jolt]

hk fans when not every boss is nkg difficulty

[old compass]

AAHHH I want to get mask shards rn but I feel like every shard past act 2 is a threat to my steel soul run

[eager elm]

it was very underwhelming on my first playthrough because i already was spoiled that there was three acts and i was like "oh it's just act 2 final boss" and was very confused why the credits rolled

[torn token]

Its just she was a pseudo final boss, I just thought she would be harder, but I do see why she is easy

[eager elm]

thk to radiance essentially

[rocky jolt]

six seveen

[sharp slate]

thk level difficulty boss because designed to be done with speedrun/twisted child in this case achievmeents

[torn token]

Still haven't made it past royal waterways 💔

[graceful oyster]

From a gameplay perspective it makes 100% perfect sense for GMS to be easy

But with how it aligns with the story and who GMS is, it's pitiful

[hardy tangle]

hallownest seal or citadel logo which one has more aura

[graceful oyster]

Seal for sure

[eager elm]

citadel logo because it's gms

[torn token]

Citadel

[hardy tangle]

apparently its called citadel caste

[light swan]

citadel

[eager elm]

from the beginning you see the end

[rocky jolt]

pharlooms symbol is just a globe

[hardy tangle]

whats hallownest seal even supposed to be

[eager elm]

(end of non-act-3)

[torn token]

Literal god in a slumber is insane aura

[rocky jolt]

king

[light swan]

i think kings idol is the best tho

[hardy tangle]

ragebait so immaculate you starting crying tears

[graceful oyster]

It's the Wyrm's wings and crown

[rocky jolt]

it literally just is one tho

[graceful oyster]

And a shell in the center

[rocky jolt]

also tears... like some sort of city of tears...

[hardy tangle]

i just knew the spikey bits were pk crown

[graceful oyster]

Yeah the side bits are monarch wings

[hardy tangle]

no its an isaac reference dork

[torn token]

Ngl gms resisting the void is honestly an insane power feat

[rocky jolt]

i dont play that

[sharp slate]

radiance statue on peaks

She shall reign forever

[graceful oyster]

Radiance statue after the climb in CPeak is amazing

Hype moments and aura in a really sombre and mystifying way

[lavish apex]

is that a bit

[graceful oyster]

No

[hardy tangle]

lets invent a new abbreviation for crystal peak

[rocky jolt]

i did not know about this place lol

[lavish apex]

let's not

[eager elm]

ne

north east area

[hardy tangle]

just call it peak cus its peak

[unreal shell]

Wrong game

[graceful oyster]

Barring out 2-letter combinations because of one unsavory thing is stupid, I thought we learned this already with SS and SK

[unreal shell]

#hk-discussion is that way

[hardy tangle]

we should call it crispy

[rocky jolt]

i dont care

[lavish apex]

i think this one can get you banned

[graceful oyster]

Doubtful

[light swan]

creator points

[hardy tangle]

chris. p

[light swan]

hold on i have something to show you

[orchid spruce]

why do you need to abbreviate crystal peak

[hardy tangle]

true just spell it out nomally

[graceful oyster]

I don't need to, that's why I said cpeak

[eager elm]

naming our favorite areas

[hardy tangle]

99% of th etime i just say silksong

[stiff glen]

Wasn't it sk

[hardy tangle]

cus its 8 fucking letters

[stiff glen]

What's sk

[eager elm]

and which part of the game we like watching

[stiff glen]

Silk knight?

[eager elm]

silksong

[orchid spruce]

SilKsong skong

[eager elm]

silksong = silso = skong = sk

[stiff glen]

That's ss

[eager elm]

steel soul

[stiff glen]

Ehh

[stiff glen]

Hmm ye

[hardy tangle]

screenshot

[eager elm]

that's why people say sk because of steel soul

[stiff glen]

Screen share

[orchid spruce]

ugh no

[hardy tangle]

yep..

[light swan]

@graceful oyster

[sharp slate]

i say skong for silksong but it should be ss

[light swan]

mass banning of many geometry dash players

[eager elm]

i love silk song steel soul

[orchid spruce]

no one says sk, no one says ss

[light swan]

discord servers had to go in and purge mentions of creator points abbreviation and blacklist it

[orchid spruce]

silksong or skong if you are hyperlazy

[opaque sigil]

Tales of arise having ‘cure points’ as the resource used to cast healing and buff spells

[sharp slate]

Mass banning of geoemtry dash players, probably for the best

[orchid spruce]

why mass ban gd players

[hardy tangle]

my favourite silksong abbeviation of all time is sotv idk its just so cool looking

[opaque sigil]

Why not

[graceful oyster]

I guess it's a good thing I'm not brainrotted enough to fully abbreviate names of things in games

[orchid spruce]

does gd mean germany domination

[sharp slate]

not really brainrot to abbreviate some stuff though, like p5

[light swan]

so yes its not "doubtful" because its happened before

[fleet temple]

The world is healing

[opaque sigil]

So cool they stole it from risk of rain

[graceful oyster]

That's one word and a number tbf

[hardy tangle]

no one plays that game

[light swan]

can we not appreviate memories in orbit

[rocky jolt]

i cannot take people who say ''rad hog'' seriously bro

[orchid spruce]

divine hand dh

[opaque sigil]

I think the mio boss nicknames are probably a bit more brainrotty than that ngl

[orchid spruce]

speeper, sasuke

strings and violin

[hardy tangle]

hnrt

[opaque sigil]

Rucible

[sharp slate]

i have 0 clue which bosses you are actually referering to in MIO, thats how i know an abbreviation is bad

[orchid spruce]

no, that means it's good

[hardy tangle]

cndctr bldr

[light swan]

that means its spoiler free

[sharp slate]

Eh

i guess lol

[hardy tangle]

wdw

phntm

[light swan]

theres no possible way to gain any information about someone named sasuke and thats what i like about it

[sharp slate]

i rather just have the names and use the magic || symbols

[orchid spruce]

egg used to be eggnog but we collectively got lazy

[light swan]

i call it noggy

[light swan]

i agree, its juts that some dumb fucks like clicking on every spoiler they see

[opaque sigil]

Egg is not subtle but also like the instant you start 9s you already know

[sharp slate]

to be fair when people dont label the game in the spoiler, yes you do it and a few others but some dont

[light swan]

after nubbie restated mio's final boss outside of discaimed spoilers before playing the game i gave up

[hardy tangle]

is this like a mio character

[orchid spruce]

Egg is also a tourist attraction

[light swan]

no

[hardy tangle]

is there some dude in mio called eggnog

[sharp slate]

also its silksong chat if i load into this chat and see a spoilered image i used to auto click it because i assumed it was LL stuff

because its silksong chat

[light swan]

theres some dude in mio called sasuke

[orchid spruce]

[light swan]

[hardy tangle]

narutoooo! shaingan.. man i love my anime fans
