[light swan]

i love to see this a lot :D

it really was

the entire sequence was just bliss

[plucky stag]

i want to say it reminded me of something but i can't say the name

[light swan]

and all the lore drops too, shit was finally connecting

[light swan]

is it ||outer wilds||

[plucky stag]

there was a farmer, had a dog, and ____ was his name-o!

[light swan]

yo who is this guy bruh

[narrow bramble]

Silksong genocide

[plucky stag]

but yes, you hit the bullseye right there

(mio and the game inside the spoiler tag spoilers inside) ||the logs about seeing the planets they passed by remind me of|| ||the nomai logs you find around the solar system as you explore it||

[crimson ember]

I want more enemies that dodge your attacks

[light swan]

not gonna click cuz i havent played said game :D all i know is that the devs were inspired by said game and also lots of others saw the inspiration

[opaque sigil]

I didn't really get that vibe that much but I can sorta see it?

[teal ridge]

i think they talked in this server before. i remember them posting a tier list about the ones they defeated this way and the ones they didnt

[light swan]

i bet their name is Frito and they have an upside down unravelled pfp and they play shaman crest and have really good takes

[teal ridge]

🤔

[midnight magnet]

I know your favourite bug.

[plucky stag]

good call

[light swan]

what is it?

[plucky stag]

i was being cryptic because to bring up the name at all would spoil things

[midnight magnet]

Oh I'm sure you want to know.

[light swan]

i do actaully

[plucky stag]

i separated the spoilers, you can click the first one now if you want

[midnight magnet]

But I'll never let you know that your favourite bug is second fentanyl

I'd never do that.

That wouldn't be buggy of me to do

[light swan]

do eurypterids count as bugs

ik scorpions probably dont

[midnight magnet]

Buggy enough

Some other """people""" dont like counting spiders and sea bugs bugs

But I disagree. I think they have buggy vibes

[light swan]

theyre not hexapods

[flat citrus]

anything new on Sea of sorrow?

[light swan]

animals under the class of insects gotta be hexapods

[plucky stag]

possible release date? (may 29th?)

but it's also possible my animal instincts failed me

[midnight magnet]

Cancelled team cherry ran with their bugs

[midnight magnet]

Oh. Of course its may 29th.

[plucky stag]

i'm hoping it releases as late as possible this month

[midnight magnet]

Of course.

[plucky stag]

do you have anything important on that date

[midnight magnet]

Of course I'm not allowed to have anything

[odd hull]

Remember to check #hk-announcements

[teal ridge]

my sea is normal as usual

[flat citrus]

im glad it isnt the 28th

[midnight magnet]

Yes but I can't let you know. It would not be buglike of me

[orchid locust]

why are you bugs

[midnight magnet]

It was what I was born as

[cerulean sable]

if we get a 3rd city of steel game then wed finally have a chance for a 4th spinoff called War of the Three Kingdoms and it would be like an RTS / 4x hybrid and that would be cool i think

[plucky stag]

i have no idea if this is even true information

i'm honestly hoping sos releases as late as possible this month

to give myself as much time as possible to get all 52 achievements before it drops

[cerulean sable]

i hoe it releases late 2026

and i mean that

[silk monolith]

july trust

[plucky stag]

but for all we know team cherry could just drop it day of

[cerulean sable]

August Onwards

[narrow bramble]

Uh

[plucky stag]

they drop the release trailer, and it says "available now"

[cerulean sable]

Uh what?>>

ARE YOU ABOUG TO CALL ME AN ASSHOLE??

[plucky stag]

i would like at least a day or two of runway to plan it out

[silk monolith]

july trust

[narrow bramble]

You forgot the p on hope

[slender juniper]

It's because somebody on Twitter said "my calculates say SOS this month" and leth replied with "🤔" and now the whole internet is going insane lmfao

[cerulean sable]

wtf...

[light swan]

sea of sorrow july

[plucky stag]

leth is probably just trolling us

[slender juniper]

My guess as well

[plucky stag]

knowing how crazy the fandom would get over even the smallest of info

[narrow bramble]

Sea of sorrow september 4th

[slender juniper]

Wasn't that the cake incident lmao

[cerulean sable]

jake destroy this person....

[slender juniper]

Well it worked atleast

[cerulean sable]

i dont think

[plucky stag]

i don't even remember that

[cerulean sable]

that leth statement was

[narrow bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/dwayne-johnson-surprised-jumanji-shock-the-rock-gif-11392523

[cerulean sable]

"hahaha its close xd xd" and more like
"hahha guys, come on :/"

[silk monolith]

july trust

[cerulean sable]

October Onwards

oh shit

is it time to do the month cult again

like we used to

[plucky stag]

i'm hoping i have time to finish mio and a few more games

[cerulean sable]

is it time to revive the December Division...

[plucky stag]

because my backlog is still overbloated

[midnight magnet]

Pack it up unc

[plucky stag]

27 games is kind of a lot, you know

[indigo carbon]

I got silksong yesterday and so far I really like it

[plucky stag]

in mio, i honestly don't know why ||the blood rejects me|| and how to make that not true

i don't want the answer just yet, just wanted to vent a little

[indigo carbon]

The bosses are really fun, like lace and fourth chorus

[plucky stag]

during my stream i did find out i missed something since most people ||get the blood before they get the hand||

[silk monolith]

what games lmao

[indigo carbon]

The only part I didn’t really like was hunters march, but now I’m used to the parkour and it’s kinda satisfying

[plucky stag]

i use a website to track my backlog; some of these games are quite obscure

[silk monolith]

people complaining about the diagonal pogo in hunter march when the game first dropped will always be funny to me cause fym you cant do this easy as fuck shit so early in the game

[light swan]

this is painstaking to read but i need to hold off on saying anything 😔

[odd hull]

A Hat in Time 🔥

[plucky stag]

what i just sent you?

[midnight magnet]

Bugs you

[silk monolith]

you can lowk drop most of these

[plucky stag]

that game has been on my backlog since 2020 but it's just that i have so many games in front of it in my queue

[light swan]

yea, the stuff about ||being rejected||

[odd hull]

Baba is You sounds cool too, I'm planning on getting it soon

[toxic vigil]

Hello!

[odd hull]

Heloo

[plucky stag]

i've been playing that slowly, and i think you should too if you pick it up

baba is not the game that you just grind out; it takes a ton of mental energy to play it

[plucky stag]

yeah, and thanks for holding off on saying anything

i'm sure it will come at some point

[light swan]

hopefully

[odd hull]

Aww, but it's so peakk

[plucky stag]

i do plan another session tomorrow, hopefully ||the blood will accept me||

[opaque sigil]

fair warning blue prince is a long one (but a very good one)

[plucky stag]

i do plan on getting around to it this year (pending my backlog being even more bloataed)

[plucky stag]

are any of these in my list short just so i can knock down that 27 to a smaller number quickly

[odd hull]

daaamn 🥀

[plucky stag]

i heard in chat today that gris is only 2-3 hours

[plucky stag]

i mistyped that

[opaque sigil]

I think most of them are pretty short, ofc slay the spire and dead cells are roguelikes so that kinda erodes the concept of length (blue prince is also a roguelike but there's more of an overarching ending and game)

[plucky stag]

my (pipe) dream is to get that number down to 0

but funnily enough i started this year off with 18 in my backlog

[opaque sigil]

oof

[plucky stag]

it's now the end of the first week of may and now it's 27

[opaque sigil]

some games it's hard to know when to mark as completed is all

[plucky stag]

and that's with 6 games beaten so far this year (deltarune, yume nikki, pizza tower, slay the spire 1, slay the princess, untitled goose game)

[odd hull]

Ah alr

[plucky stag]

i'm currently playing sts2 and i will mark that as complete once i win with all characters

i marked sts1 as complete when i beat it with just ironclad, but i did eventually beat it with all 4 characters

[odd hull]

I see. Do you play multiple games at the same time?

[plucky stag]

i'm currently juggling four

[opaque sigil]

if it's just winning a run then I don't think any of the roguelikes should take too long though I will say that for blue prince doing that really isn't

[plucky stag]

one speedgame (plants vs. zombies), two roster games (baba is you, slay the spire ii), one campaign game (mio: memories in orbit)

[sharp slate]

impossible sadly... my backlog sits around 3 games atm usually i get rid of 1 1 more pops on

[plucky stag]

you're 9 times closer to your goal than me

if you stayed disciplined you could empty it out too

[sharp slate]

I only count backlog as games i bought, i got more that i could buy in theory

[plucky stag]

same here

[odd hull]

That's crazy

[plucky stag]

my steam library is just massive

[odd hull]

Generally I only play 1 at the time. Maybe 2

[plucky stag]

i have 25 in my beaten column

[plucky stag]

crazy as it is, it's not easy

[opaque sigil]

do tell

[sharp slate]

i'm at 113 games in my steam library but 20 of those probably dont count

[plucky stag]

juggling 4 games inevitably means one will fall to the wayside

at the moment that is baba is you; i play that infrequently

[plucky stag]

i use a website called backloggd.com

[odd hull]

Tunic!

[opaque sigil]

outer wilds, subnautica, oneshot, some good stuff

[plucky stag]

most recently i played untitled goose game as a one off april fools' day special

[odd hull]

I imagine so

[plucky stag]

indeed

i have a fine collection of 25 games, don't i?

[sharp slate]

tunics on my list to get eventually

heard a lot of good things

[knotty root]

Everyone get in the submarine, we're leaving this Sea of Sorrow™ now!

[opaque sigil]

I started tunic but then dropped it because I just found the enemies too annoying

[odd hull]

I have "beaten" 12 games this year. But haven't experienced everything I want from all of them (like, NG+, Hard Mode and stuff)

[plucky stag]

i beat tunic but stopped at ||the "give the book to the heir" ending|| and didn't do any of the postgame puzzles

[odd hull]

Really?

[opaque sigil]

yeah

[odd hull]

Nice! It's my favorite game oat

[opaque sigil]

not sayin it's a good reason to drop it but it's why I did

[midnight magnet]

I was defeated and shot by 12 games this year

[light swan]

i have lots of ideas to make combos more consistent and identifiable
but it feels
very unorganized and time consuming

[midnight magnet]

I'm not going to make it.

[light swan]

@midnight magnet how many fingers am i holding up

[odd hull]

Not judging or anything. I dropped HK in 10min bc I got lost in crossing roads

[midnight magnet]

Silly. You don't have fingers!

Bugs like you and I don't have fingers.

[sharp slate]

honestly i feel like everyone drops hk at least once within first hour

i did the same exact thing

[plucky stag]

that was my experience too

you do one session in isolation, then you drop it for a few months and then pick it up again and get hooked

[light swan]

i didnt!

[plucky stag]

in my case this was mid july 2021 and halloween 2021

[meager jolt]

Me neither

[opaque sigil]

I wish I had dropped hk early then I might not have had to experience pre lifeblood traitor lord and hive

[odd hull]

lmao I dropped it in 2021 and only played again in march 2025

[meager jolt]

Oof...

[odd hull]

Bc a friend really wanted me to play it

[plucky stag]

meanwhile for silksong i deliberately want to claim steel heart before any dlcs come and make it easier

sea of sorrow is already confirmed to add more tools, which will make the routing for 100% slightly easier

[sharp slate]

lmao, fair enough

[plucky stag]

not to mention i want to do it before the godhome equivalent comes out

[sharp slate]

god the 100+% run is going to be horrible for speedrunners

[plucky stag]

that would really reduce the difficulty just from being able to practice the bosses super efficiently

one idea i have for silksong's godhome equivalent is to have the gauntlets take place inside hornet's memories

[kindred ivy]

Whatms up guys jm back

[plucky stag]

she can use elegy of the deep on herself and refight bosses she's fought before

[sharp slate]

this would be pretty cool tbh, i feel like gaunlets are pretyy enjoyable in skong in general so i wouldnt mind them in godhome

[plucky stag]

i used the wrong word again

[odd hull]

Please Team Cherry make it a menu accessible after defeating any boss

[plucky stag]

i meant to say "pantheons"

[kindred ivy]

I would give my all

[sharp slate]

ah gotcha, definetely want that still, ik people give p5 alot of trash, but i feel like thats where most of my playtimes been tbh

[meager jolt]

What if 200% definitive Silksong .....

[kindred ivy]

oh no

[opaque sigil]

those two things are not incompatible

[plucky stag]

do i dare downpatch just to get a vanilla steel heart even if i miss the sos deadline

that would just be straight up masochism right there

but then again, this is the guy who got all 202 strawberries in celeste and grinded the last one for half a year

[sharp slate]

its where most my playtime is because i enjoyed it

[opaque sigil]

I mean you can always just not route in sos stuff

[sharp slate]

hitless/speedrunning

[plucky stag]

true, but what if it's not possible (very unlikely i think)

day one steel heart in hollow knight on current patch is impossible

because you need to get hiveblood (1%), but in order to do so you have to fight hive knight (also 1%) which didn't exist on day one

[opaque sigil]

you could just get an extra % to make sure you did all the same content

I also don't expect sos to do stuff like that

[plucky stag]

i'm fretting over nothing anyway

i don't even expect sos to somehow make vanilla 100% impossible

the hive knight situation is a special case

the game shipped without hive knight literally because team cherry needed the money now and so put the unfinished game out

[opaque sigil]

it's still wild that hive knight didn't originally exist

[plucky stag]

given they made us wait 7 years i doubt they put out an unfinished game

[teal ridge]

buzzzaaah!

[odd hull]

Surely

[opaque sigil]

and then they put out a game that doesn't even have any form of boss refight

[plucky stag]

because they didn't want to start developing that until all the bosses were done

[slender juniper]

Leth react with 🤔 if Sea of sorrow is releasing tommorow

[opaque sigil]

they totally could've implemented some sort of refight system without having boss rushes or whatever in place

[slender juniper]

OH MY GOD SEA OF SORROW TOMORROW

[sharp slate]

yea but they want to intergrate it into lore, not a good reason imo, but their reason

[opaque sigil]

they could do that too

[kindred ivy]

OH MY GOODNESS SEA OF SORRY TOMORROW?

[sharp slate]

tbh im fine with how silksong released tbh, i look forward to new bosses that will happen in silksongs godhome, assumnig we get some

[slender juniper]

SILKSONG RELEASED!?

[charred tiger]

it did tomorrow

[slender juniper]

Hod did you just make a sentence that's past tense and future tense at the same time

[charred tiger]

i'm just goated like that

as i say

everything that happened or that is yet to happen was or will someday be tomorrow

so, everything is tomorrow

[light swan]

i think i’ll keep the aerial attacks / “phase” random like it is rn

everything is mostly reactable

[hybrid flare]

make a 3rd phase with a 2nd 2nd sentinel

[kindred ivy]

i love my little wyearmver

[teal ridge]

3rd sentinel

[midnight magnet]

would you react to me illusion?

[strange knot]

NOOOO I MESSED UP HITLESS CORAL TOWER ON LAST FUCKING ENEMY

[light swan]

bruh

[strange knot]

I’m gonna kms

[light swan]

shift your anger towards coral tower

[light swan]

double sentinel fight

[sharp slate]

rip

easiest arena as well

[teal ridge]

i wonder if second sentinel, fourth chorus and twelfth arthitect having number in their name because it desribes the robot type. like second is used for sentinels because its maybe the second robot model citadel had

[dusk quail]

MAN

[strange knot]

I probably messed up most of the runs on 4th one due to stress

[light swan]

i think its just which sentinel/chorus/architect they are

[sharp slate]

yea fair, nerves are the ultimate enemy

[teal ridge]

so they could be called cogwork sentinel, cogwork chorus, cogwork arthitect by default?

[light swan]

or just sentinel architect and chorus

[teal ridge]

most of the robots have cogwork in their name

why wont those 3 dont have the title

[light swan]

idk

[hybrid flare]

Cogwork clankers are likely named after the fact that they're made out of cogwork and they're serving the tower

[light swan]

choir sentinels

[meager jolt]

Maybe because there is/was multiple of them and they are special because there's only gonna be 4 Choruses, 4 Sentinels, and 12 Architects?

[teal ridge]

i checked and all cogwork enemies have cogwork in their name

[light swan]

maybe cuz theyre in the cogwork core

[teal ridge]

then cogwork dancers wouldve been called first & second dancer

[light swan]

theres 1 set of dancers

[midnight magnet]

I am also in the cogwork core

Its crazy how that works

[meager jolt]

Sentinel is sorta in the Core

It starts there

[dusty wind]

idk if cogworker counts

[hybrid flare]

Ye but not meant for the core's maintenance

[light swan]

sentinel feels more like choir people

[charred tiger]

COGWORKer

[barren dew]

Hi

[midnight magnet]

Behind the barricade.

[barren dew]

What the HELL

[meager jolt]

Wha happen

[teal ridge]

HELL WHERE?

[barren dew]

Look up there

[strange knot]

I’m so embarrassed how the fuck I lost a run to yumama😭 😭 😭

[barren dew]

Somewhere................

[meager jolt]

???????

[charred tiger]

yumama ?

[strange knot]

The enemy in coral tower

[charred tiger]

under there

[barren dew]

bugs from hollow knight

[meager jolt]

Giant jellyfish from Coral Tower

[plucky stag]

what should i do first when i return to silksong in a few days

[charred tiger]

oh the free silk

[meager jolt]

Steel Soul

[plucky stag]

because as soon as i get mio's true ending it's back to pharloom

[midnight magnet]

Rip the curtain away and you'll see the bugmess I made.

[plucky stag]

that's a wonderful idea (after more than 6 months off the game)

[barren dew]

?????

I'm so fricking SCARED

[charred tiger]

did you 100%

[unreal shell]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aFk0lr6JJY&list=RD4aFk0lr6JJY&start_radio=1

[plucky stag]

yes, but i haven't played since then

[unreal shell]

this is an awesome ost

[plucky stag]

since october 25th last year

it's more like six and a half months at this point

[charred tiger]

damn did mio take that much time ?

[plucky stag]

mio wasn't even out yet

[meager jolt]

And pleeeeeeease use Shell Satchet it's the bestest Tool EVER!!

[barren dew]

Bugs from hollow knight what do you need

[midnight magnet]

Rip the flesh away and you'll see it's bugs you saved.

[plucky stag]

i just planned to take a break to focus on other games first before eventually returning

[unreal shell]

no more infection

[dense perch]

Wish I could try that tool

[plucky stag]

i still haven't fought buffed gurr

[meager jolt]

Why can't you?

[plucky stag]

imagine i get a steel heart run to act 3 only to die to a version of a boss i haven't fought yet

[charred tiger]

what

wdym

[barren dew]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-speed-scared-holding-breath-terrified-gif-5049853410287167077

[unreal shell]

gurr gets buffed??

[plucky stag]

after i finished the game and put it on hiatus, tc buffed gurr the outcast

[unreal shell]

oh

[charred tiger]

oh

[unreal shell]

good thing i did it buffed lol

[barren dew]

More infection? Wow guys that's evil

[charred tiger]

he still not thag bad

[barren dew]

Gurr killed my family

[plucky stag]

by the time i come back to silksong i will have beaten 12 additional games

[unreal shell]

fleas killed mine

[plucky stag]

want me to list them out?

[meager jolt]

He barely changes, just ever so slightly faster

[charred tiger]

are you a zote lover that's evil or do you love evil zote...

[unreal shell]

those scheming fluffy bastards

[strange knot]

Gurr ruined all of my ct runs

[barren dew]

Both

[charred tiger]

cteel soul

[barren dew]

That's FAKE

[charred tiger]

fair

[plucky stag]

one thing i have to stay disciplined on is to never play a steel soul file past midnight

[strange knot]

AND steel soul AND all speedrunning attempts

[plucky stag]

i make more mistakes whenever i'm sleepy, so it would be a very avoidable way to die if i died because i played while sleepy

[silk monolith]

whats a ct run

[charred tiger]

that's the point of sleep

[strange knot]

Coral tower

[silk monolith]

why tf would gurr be there

[charred tiger]

cursed technique

[unreal shell]

look at how ferocious this thing is

[void moat]

how silksloptubers feel spreading misinformation https://youtube.com/shorts/3u0iNo_K97M?si=qDGqXgk_Wu1XGNDc

[plucky stag]

maybe if the clock strikes 12 and i'm already on my way to fight lost lace i'll play on

[silk monolith]

midnight arrives

[plucky stag]

but in any other situation i have to stop by midnight

[charred tiger]

man just sleep

[unreal shell]

these guys know what they're doing

[dense perch]

I die before going to wormways

[strange knot]

Cursed technique: run
Uses all of you cursed energy to run slightly faster.

[void moat]

maaan

[dense perch]

Fuck you widow

[unreal shell]

the random widow in this chat:

[silk monolith]

some shit hakari prolly does

[plucky stag]

on this note, i'm glad summoned savior is fightable in act 2

so i don't have to awkwardly do it after i beat lost lace as a cleanup

[charred tiger]

fraud

[barren dew]

How can this cute creature kill a family

[meager jolt]

Even with Pebb Simple Key route?

[barren dew]

You know who else is a fraud? Paleking!

[silk monolith]

slander

[charred tiger]

elaborate

[dense perch]

Yes

[charred tiger]

pale king did what he could do he tried his best

[unreal shell]

maybe this one convinces you, this one is a pervert

[silk monolith]

what the fuck was he supposed to do against a dream

[meager jolt]

Oof...

[barren dew]

He's ugly and probably stupid

[charred tiger]

[random bug] is a fraud because he got infected

[silk monolith]

loddie is a fraud cause he got squashed under rubble

[barren dew]

Public execution stars NOW

[barren dew]

Be smart and kill it

[unreal shell]

for me or for him

[barren dew]

Simple as that!

[charred tiger]

how.

[silk monolith]

you cant kill dreams theyre not nightmares

[barren dew]

Him

[charred tiger]

maybe nkg could have killed radiance...

[meager jolt]

Nightmare you say.........

[charred tiger]

if radiance tried to infect grimm

[barren dew]

By being intelligent

[silk monolith]

nkg dont give a damn

[charred tiger]

idk

[barren dew]

They are I was there

[timid valve]

No, he just made some trophies

[unreal shell]

yea look at how shady he is

[barren dew]

Liar liar pants on FIRE

[unreal shell]

[charred tiger]

[barren dew]

Ugly AND a pervert why can't he pick ONE struggle

[charred tiger]

kratt has cool design

[unreal shell]

at least this one is chill

[silk monolith]

how did gurr find a pristine body of that big guy in karmelita fight

[charred tiger]

i like how they managed to make a bug look old

[charred tiger]

[barren dew]

True...

[unreal shell]

[charred tiger]

What about calling people that know everything about both games Gorbs?

[unreal shell]

[plucky stag]

the clue is kinda cryptic though

[charred tiger]

the clue make it look like it's in shellwood

[plucky stag]

didn't matter though because i just stumbled upon them by accident

[odd hull]

Congratss

[barren dew]

Ohhhh

[plucky stag]

the point is that i wasn't even trying to look for them and i just found them by accident

[barren dew]

So it wasn't my map being stupid

[plucky stag]

at the time i was grinding out coral tower and decided to do a sidequest as a break

[charred tiger]

no it was you

[barren dew]

Mean!

[charred tiger]

:3

[plucky stag]

one last tip before i sleep: it's better to be thorough on your first time going through an area

[barren dew]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-lightning-ishowspeed-lightning-ishowspeed-angry-speed-angry-gif-6767224703360338730

[plucky stag]

because you're more likely to find items and secrets when you're naturally exploring vs. when you're actively trying to comb a room at the end looking for stuff you missed

that mentality is why i missed the one vaults exit that leads you to the twisted bud and a flea

missing this one exit cost me 4% of blind percentage

[unreal shell]

bro why does a song using flea barks not exist yet

i would have expected that to exist by now

can someone make that lol

[teal ridge]

youre talking about "awooooooo"?

[unreal shell]

awoos and the barking audios

[charred tiger]

well

[charred tiger]

a song with it does exist

[unreal shell]

where??

i must listen

[teal ridge]

do you have flea cry too?

[charred tiger]

it's called Flea_Sing.ogg

[barren dew]

Flea crying would be Waaaaaaoooo

[unreal shell]

that's the audio file i just sent

[charred tiger]

yeah.

it's a song

[unreal shell]

i just stole these audios from the wiki

[teal ridge]

if i remember correctly the flea that got bitten by those green flies were crying instead of barking

thats my favorite flea btw

[unreal shell]

the audio?

[teal ridge]

pathetic cute idiot

[unreal shell]

well it could be made into one

[barren dew]

Was it near wormways I think??

I forgot everything about silksong goodness

[unreal shell]

you mean this

[teal ridge]

yeah

[charred tiger]

if the flea sing, it's a song

[teal ridge]

that one

[charred tiger]

FREE HIM NOW

or else...

[unreal shell]

there's also this one

probably repeatedly punched by that plant opposite of it

there's also this flea

scared of the snitchfly

[barren dew]

YES this

[sharp slate]

this is my favorite flea

[charred tiger]

what if the snitchfly was chill with the flea and tried to protect the flea from you

[median fractal]

I love this guy

[teal ridge]

there is one caged in slab

[unreal shell]

why did it shackle me for rosaries then

[teal ridge]

we dont know what crime it did

[high sparrow]

So like

[unreal shell]

there's also one just sleeping in the slab

[charred tiger]

no like i'm saying smth that would have been cool if it happened

[unreal shell]

he's fine

[high sparrow]

I explore like three different locations in nine sols

[charred tiger]

can sleep through the whole act 3 btw

[high sparrow]

And i havent even found the first true boss

[teal ridge]

i wonder what that one did

[charred tiger]

yeah early game is kinda annoying

[high sparrow]

Why is accesing areas in this game so damm easy

[charred tiger]

the first boss is cool as hell tho

[unreal shell]

which area are you in?

[high sparrow]

Okay so im in the energy reserve central

[teal ridge]

imagine other fleas tricked that one into entering a cage and leave the poor one in slab

[harsh yarrow]

chance to bring this up noticed
original flea rescue sound deployed (from around the time of the 2019 demo for Silksong)

[unreal shell]

huh?

[high sparrow]

So basicly another part of the ape man facility

[unreal shell]

is this silksong?

[teal ridge]

this is fleasong

[charred tiger]

it sounds like a certain mouse

[harsh yarrow]

people like to not talk about Silksong in this chat, its a bit annoying at times

[high sparrow]

I still dont have another smoke pot to heal

[unreal shell]

not you

[high sparrow]

Anyways game is pretty fun

[teal ridge]

yeah im not silksong

[unreal shell]

yea you're dead song

[high sparrow]

Y-youre not💔!?

[unreal shell]

there is no skong

[high sparrow]

So and i met one of the bossss in daybreak tower

But i think im gonna keep exploring central energy first

[barren dew]

This is messed up I have to spread the word...

[toxic vigil]

Hello!

[teal ridge]

hi

[unreal shell]

this image will trigger a lot of you

[sharp slate]

i forgot daybreak tower is from nine sols, playing horizon zero dawn and thats my next mission lmao getting to daybreak tower

[teal ridge]

those bells look fire

[sharp slate]

i love bell eater

[high sparrow]

Also why is there a death star in nine sols

[glossy nebula]

Can you parry chop chop flying insect with any crest?

[teal ridge]

i think you can as much as youre fast

[glossy nebula]

The one that is super annoying and in far fields

[glossy nebula]

I feel like it is too easy to do in hunter crest

[teal ridge]

i recomend wanderer against chop chop ones

[glossy nebula]

Cant be done from under

[glossy nebula]

But both go same speed innparry

[high sparrow]

Horizon as a mission like that?

[high sparrow]

.

[teal ridge]

you can hit when it stops the blade attack

[short trout]

Okay new best time. I don't really think I'm good enough with circlet to use it to give myself an even shorter time tho

[barren dew]

No I say hello and hi

Hi

[short trout]

Also the very last second of this video lowkey has so much aura

[stable salmon]

im currently fighting last judge and im able to get it down half health but i ||keep dieing to the fire attacks||. wahhh

[deft girder]

no I do
hello

[halcyon loom]

any witch crest users here?

[short trout]

Did you try using the magma bell?

[deft girder]

...no....

[short trout]

Idk not me

[toxic vigil]

i should play shaman more

[stable salmon]

ohhhh thats a good idea

no i havent, ill go get it!

[halcyon loom]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/Silksong/comments/1t6iy71/team_cherry_please_please_fix_witch_crests_pogo/

[toxic vigil]

how good of a build is this

[barren dew]

Those copycats bro!

How are you

[silk monolith]

dice?

[halcyon loom]

can we talk about this pogo issue? i'm so done lol

(or if you have experienced something like this)

[short trout]

I'd say it's good. I'd put on the magnetite dice cause of their amazing synergy with the egg of flealia, and I personally wouldn't run cross stitch because Shaman's slower attack speed gives you less time between attacks to actually use it so it won't be as precise as it would with a faster crest like wanderer.

[deft girder]

i feel i haven't experienced this but tbf i only just started using the crest

[fiery burrow]

Yeah witch pogo pulls you in towards the enemy which makes it kinda risky to do during certain attacks, unless you use the kinda tight iframes the pogo gives you

It seems like LLace just has a bad hitbox there?

[short trout]

I gotta admit witch's pogo is the coolest and beast is a bit behind it

[halcyon loom]

it only happens when she changes her attack midway, and it kinda hurt my mental when i was doing hitless

[exotic dome]

it's a LL issue i think

[halcyon loom]

it's a shame because i always think Witch crest has the most glaceful pogo and very satisfying to land

[short trout]

Yea she has a pretty fat hitbox especially during that attack if I recall correctly

[exotic dome]

it is. it's the best pogo for combat

[fiery burrow]

RIP

I never fought LL with witch that sounds kinda miserable

[exotic dome]

it hits twice + gives iframes

[halcyon loom]

though i did do a hitless with Witch crest, but it is probably the hardest one to do because of the pogo always messed me up

[short trout]

Does it give 2 silk tho?

[exotic cedar]

And it pairs well with sawtooth!!

[exotic dome]

i dont remember

[exotic dome]

yea it has the best tech

[deft girder]

i'm good at ground combat now after spending all day yesterday practicing, but i need to learn sawtooth before i can call myself good in the air

[halcyon loom]

the iframes are not noticeable when it comes to LL lol

[exotic dome]

that attack has one of the hitboxes of all time

[halcyon loom]

i did hitless LL with every crests and none of them have the same issue as Witch crest

[deft girder]

no, dash attack does tho

[exotic dome]

shame

[stable salmon]

does magma bell make last judge harder?

[exotic cedar]

It makes it easier

[short trout]

It could only make it easier

[halcyon loom]

no, just one

[deft girder]

makes it so last judge can't do 2 masks of damage

[short trout]

I remember when I first fought Last Judge I had the pollip pouch and plasmium phial and I was confused when my masks turned purple and exploded so I just thought that the plasmium phile disolves while under heat 💀

[halcyon loom]

witch crest's pogo hit twice, but each hit is half needle damage

[stable salmon]

ik but somehow it started doing the fire attacks much more earlier in the fights

[stable salmon]

😭

[short trout]

But yea pollip pouch has such terrible synergy with the plasmium phile

[toxic vigil]

6 damage!!!!

[deft girder]

-# never forget the asterisk of silksong rounding shenanigans

[toxic vigil]

sometimes its better sometimes its worse

[deft girder]

ye

i'm sure spogo would make up for it if i could keep track of when it's active

[halcyon loom]

what

[lone escarp]

It's a shame the first sinner is so easy for how cool she is

[deft girder]

low damage multi-hitting attacks get destroyed by rounding or disproportionally buffed, depending on what your damage upgrade is

i forget exactly how it works but iirc it has something to do with even and odd numbers rounding differently

[rocky jolt]

sisters of battle isnt that hard and thats a top 3 boss right there

[tight viper]

Sisters of Battle is cool

Idk about top 3 tho

[halcyon loom]

while the idea of double hit pogo is cool (as if Hornet was stitching her enemies) , the fact it could deal less damage is a little upsetting lol

[tight viper]

There’s a lot of bosses in the HK series that compete for the top spots

[fiery burrow]

AbsRad PV GPZ is the top 3

[tight viper]

Forebrothers, Second Sentinel, and uhhhh I forgot #3 but it was probably Lace 2

[deft girder]

witch has enough going for it tbf
honestly i'm pretty convinced that with it's tech, it's the best crest ||(other than architects which nobody likes)||

[charred tiger]

top 3 hk sure

[fiery burrow]

I like architect

[tight viper]

Witch has a ton of cool techs but it isn’t even close to the best crest, unfort

[charred tiger]

gpz.......

[tight viper]

Arch, Shaman, Beast, Hunter all have it beat

Wanderer is tied or something

[charred tiger]

reaper

[fiery burrow]

Its 2026 we don't have to pretend GPZ isn't peak anymore

[charred tiger]

another eva like being but grimm themed that upgrades reaper

[deft girder]

according to my teacher, RDAC chaining is slightly better than base wanderers, and i think giving wanderers witch bind would put it at the top

[charred tiger]

honestly i fought him once on the godseeker mode and that's it

[stable salmon]

i have reached act 2 :D

[charred tiger]

first tried bro

[viscid tendon]

In MY opinion
This is the worst enemy from both HK games

[fiery burrow]

😔

[fiery burrow]

tuff

[deft girder]

when did wanderer lose so much clout lmao, people used to tell me it was better than beast

[halcyon loom]

after doing hitless with every crest (i was doing red tool-less Architect), I would say Witch is probably the hardest one to use in fast-paced combat if you're going for nuke build (which i did), but I can see how its binding could be good

[pallid plinth]

they should make that enemy like 2 hits to kill

[charred tiger]

it never was

[tight viper]

If Wanderer had Witch bind it would be unchanged because Wanderer doesn’t have the blues it needs to abuse the bind

[halcyon loom]

lol they shamed wanderer because it is easily the "easy mode" crest

[timid orbit]

[tight viper]

Wanderer didn’t lose clout, every other crest just gained the clout they deserved

[charred tiger]

reaper

[tight viper]

Reaper exists

[deft girder]

back in the early days wanderer was in contention for best along with hunter and beast

[tight viper]

Yeah

[charred tiger]

WE want a reaper mechanic rework ( keep the moveset)

[tight viper]

People were uninformed, myself included

[deft girder]

shaming it doesn't lose it dps though...

[charred tiger]

un-ungraded hunter

[tight viper]

The public opinion is never reliable

People still call Snitch Pick bad

[eternal berry]

wanderer's crest is peak

[fiery burrow]

+25% clawline damage

[atomic sparrow]

what is the census on which ones the best now

[eternal berry]

on an unrelated note i 112%ed HK and completed the entire hall of gods on radiant

[deft girder]

nah, they meant full hunter

[tight viper]

People either just don’t know about it, or they don’t understand just how valuable this is

[eternal berry]

definitely no correlation

[charred tiger]

25% of a needle hit on clawline is fine for agressive builds

[teal ridge]

fireee

[unkempt steeple]

Well cuz the description doesn't tell you what it's acctually good for lol

[fiery burrow]

I still can't believe this bro

[deft girder]

idk i'm trying to gauge that now

[halcyon loom]

i mean i can use Hunter or Beast crest to do the same thing i did with Wanderer crest, and people would still say Wanderer is easier like... man, Hunter crest is much relaxing to play than Wanderer

[fiery burrow]

Stupidest decision oat

[fiery burrow]

I'm the latter

[tight viper]

The description is a problem, but a bigger problem is willful ignorance

[atomic sparrow]

beating out wingsmould and slabfly journal entries?

[tight viper]

I can explain the benefits of Snitch Pick in great detail to deaf ears

[tight viper]

Backdash clawtooth spam is a treat

[unkempt steeple]

I honestly just don't get why it also has that bad ability when nobody uses it for that

[deft girder]

i'm curious what your full tier list is an why

[deft girder]

i'm a goddamn time capsule from the first month of the game lmao

[unkempt steeple]

I wonder if someone at team cherry was really adamant that this was a super cool and unique idea so they just had to add the extra clawline damage as a way to not make it utterly useless

[tight viper]

One sec

[vivid belfry]

it's incredibly strange that snitch pick doesn't actually do anything useful in terms of grinding

[unkempt steeple]

I guess the idea was passive grinding while not killing enemies but who the hell grinds like that

And who the hell would waste a tool slot on that when not grinding

[deft girder]

wait the THEFT TOOL?
that buffs the CLAWLINE?

[halcyon loom]

The chillest and relaxing to play: Shaman, Hunter (I could yawn and it helps me sleep)
Kinda intense: Wanderer, Beast
Needs to pay a lot of attention: Witch, Reaper

(we're not gonna talk about Architect simple because it's a pay-to-win)

[unkempt steeple]

Wanderer is intense?

[deft girder]

it's beast with no range meaning less openings

[halcyon loom]

yeah, when you are not facetanking

[deft girder]

facetanking is for bums, dodge and parry

[unkempt steeple]

Yeah but why would you use wanderer if you're playing smartly😂

[halcyon loom]

it makes fast-paced fights like anime fights

[exotic dome]

it costs 740 rosaries btw

[unkempt steeple]

(Guy who face tanks, with wanderer)

[halcyon loom]

i play it because it makes me feel like the embodiment of speed and it brings me joy

[unkempt steeple]

Grindle's biggest scam

Honestly it'd be funny if grindle sold the worser items higher

[exotic dome]

i want to believe that they forgot to complete the coding of this

[halcyon loom]

every time when people say wanderer crest is the easiest because of how fast you can destroy bosses, i laugh in max focus hunter and shaman

[deft girder]

from the first month, the rankings were generally as follows for crests

1. Arch,
2. Wanderer
3. Hunter
4. Beast
5. Shaman
6. Witch
7. Reaper
   and then 2-4 were interchangeable and 5-6 were interchangeable

i don't imagine arch and reaper budged but i'm curious what we currently think

[surreal halo]

Why is it bad?? Doesn't it just do more damage?

[plain bloom]

do not tease me

[timid valve]

Sea of Git Gud

[surreal halo]

Sea of sad(sorrow)

[slender juniper]

Snitch pick is a 7.5/10 tool it just kinda scams you kn the "rosaries" aspect

[tight viper]

It's shown off a little in this vid

[plain bloom]

they gonna ninja drop it like it's a hot fix and not actually tell us sea of sorrow was in the patch... just know I predicted it.

[tight viper]

I think it is very good, but I've had plenty of people disagree with me

[surreal halo]

I like complaining about glitches but the tools aren't bad ^_^

[tight viper]

Of course, people who disagree are often people who either don't use clawline much, or people who don't know about clawline/snitch pick damage and tech

[surreal halo]

The shards are annoying though...

[tight viper]

Either way they're uninformed but speaking as if they are

[slender juniper]

Snitch pick doesn't actually give you more money

[exotic dome]

snitch pick is fine but it should be a farming tool mainly

and it's useless for that

[tight viper]

In terms of enjoyability:
Shaman
Witch
Hunter
Beast
Architect
Reaper
Wanderer

[timid valve]

It'd be actually good as a yellow tool

[unkempt steeple]

Should've just made a tool acctually based around clawline's combat capabilities

[tight viper]

And that's what Snitch Pick should be used as

[surreal halo]

Have you ever dodged with shaman?

(Using the heal)

[tight viper]

No but I've never been in a situation where I could do that

Also just haven't felt the need to

I can just pogo or clawline through things

[unkempt steeple]

Yeah why waste a whole bind to dodge when down dash is free in this game

[surreal halo]

You can heal faster...

[surreal halo]

I only used it once on clover dancers ^_^

[unkempt steeple]

Not many situations where you have to dodge downwards and heal at the same time

[surreal halo]

I don't know if it saves much time but it dodged and I got a heal ^_^

[tight viper]

I can see where it could be useful there

I've just been dodging the cross-screen slashes by pogoing/parrying them, and the tornadoes with a well-timed clawline

[vivid belfry]

even in such a situation, the shaman heal doesn't start until you hit the ground so it's not actually any faster than baiting and down-dashing into a heal with a normal healing crest

[ivory loom]

Screw widow. Spent one in a half hour beating that pos

[unkempt steeple]

Why is she called widow, who was her husband/wife...

[ivory loom]

HATE HER

[tight viper]

Widow can also mean "To deprive of something greatly valued or needed"

So Widow is widowed of her mask and her Silk

[lost torrent]

I think it's just a reference to bug related things. Like how there's a specie of spider called black widow

[viscid ibex]

Beast traumatized me in hunters march

[unkempt steeple]

Oh true

[ivory loom]

That shi was so annoying

[unkempt steeple]

Pretty sure black widow's a marvel rivals character

[viscid ibex]

The downward slash is too bizarre

[glacial kelp]

yeah just like how first sinner is related to the species of spider called first sinner

[deft girder]

wait, isn't there a theoretical grinding use for this? Snitch + magnetite and then just any fast hitting combo, and then you just leave the room before killing the enemy to reset them?

I could see this working on the grand reed closest to memorium maybe...?

[unkempt steeple]

Peak pfp

[vivid belfry]

at least you have drifter's cloak by that point, imo that makes it easier than no upgrades hunter

[unkempt steeple]

Firtius sinnerus

[vivid belfry]

at least that was my experience in first playthrough

[viscid ibex]

Definitely

[deft girder]

beast crest best crest

[glacial kelp]

the drop amount is capped at the amount of rosaries it drops on death i believe

[lament vessel]

Side note holy peak pfp

[ivory loom]

Ew no. The hits are so slow

[unkempt steeple]

Thanks

[lost torrent]

Black widow is a specie of spider known for cutting off the head of it's male partner after mating. Black Widow in Marvel is inspired by this creature, the symbol on her belt is a naturally occuring shape on the spider's abdomen

[viscid ibex]

If it wasnt for the downslash, i probably would've agreed because it looks fun to use

[deft girder]

ik, but surely the amount dropped isn't saved across room transitions

[lament vessel]

But hornet has a funny little growl

[viscid ibex]

Ty

[ivory loom]

Fair enuf

[deft girder]

bind?

[unkempt steeple]

Oh wait what if widow getting her mask ripped off is a reference to this

[ivory loom]

Im a basic Wanderer crest user 🥀

[surreal halo]

Do you happen to know if hornet falls faster while healing(with shaman) or with the weighted belt?

[lost torrent]

Exactly. You get the picture

[deft girder]

it's as fast as wanderers with the best range of any crest and more damage if you know what you're doing

[unkempt steeple]

Pretty sure no

[vivid belfry]

probably faster than just releasing the jump button but probably not faster than downwards dash

[glacial kelp]

the silk fall

[ivory loom]

Anyways how many crests are there

[vivid belfry]

7

[odd hull]

7

[vivid belfry]

for now...

alchemist crest trust

[ivory loom]

Just beat Widow, surely cant get any worse....

[viscid ibex]

Wyrm Crest

[lost torrent]

SEVEN?? I only have two and I'm already deep inside the Citadel

[deft girder]

if SoS adds beast crest tech i'm going back to it

[lost torrent]

Where y'all finding these crests

[vivid belfry]

you should backtrack more

[exotic cedar]

in pharloom

[deft girder]

it's pretty easy to miss most of them if you aren't really exploring

[viscid ibex]

Theres one in Greymoor and one in Hunters March

[lost torrent]

Duh

[deft girder]

the only one i'd call hard to miss is reapers, which is ASS

[ivory loom]

Bruh

[exotic cedar]

Reaper and beast is prob the easiest ones to find

[lost torrent]

I'll check them out

[deft girder]

I've somehow picked up reapers on every save despite hating that crest personally and with a passion

[safe ore]

Will sea of sorrow EVER come out jesus

[ivory loom]

Whats the name of that crest, fast slash, downward pogo

Wanderer yeah?

[deft girder]

ye

[safe ore]

I feel like they planning to drop every dlc at once

[still osprey]

Tomorrow

[safe ore]

So tireddddddd of waiting

[deft girder]

@ivory loom talking about this one right?

[vivid belfry]

My patience has been tempered into an unbreakable steel

sea of sorrow will come out whenever, and in the meantime I've got an endless backlog and MINA THE HOLLOWER

[ivory loom]

Holy shi bro u are zooomin

[hybrid flare]

Your soul is made out of steel... huh... where hath i heard such thing before

[deft girder]

fast hits and downward pogo sounds like witch to me

[deft girder]

beat hollow knight without resting after finding crystal peaks ever

[odd hull]

Mina the Hollower mentioned 🔥 🔥 🔥

[vivid belfry]

Mina is probably gonna be the frontrunner for the best game to release in 2026 for a while

best game I played this year? no fucking shot

[unkempt steeple]

Best game of the year will be SOS

Acctually no need for goty discourse this year bc we all know GTA 6 will win everything regardless

[hybrid flare]

Itll be bad im calling it

gta 6 WILL be slop and everyone will glaze it regardless

[unkempt steeple]

Like that's gonna change it winning everything at the game awards

[hybrid flare]

Yeah true

[deft girder]

GTA6 doesn't release this year

[exotic dome]

gta 6 will release and mission structure will be the same as gta 3

[unkempt steeple]

It does, in november

[light swan]

acolyte no longer committed

[unkempt steeple]

Or does that not count for this year's game awards

[deft girder]

no, no, gta 6 is ordained to release just before heat death of the universe

[fiery burrow]

Its flashy but I think there may be more practical ways to fight the boss

[deft girder]

the name was too long, i'm still committed lol
training rn in fact

i've picked up a sawtooth guide so i can learn aerials

[vivid belfry]

I'm not counting updates as valid targets, and even if I did, silksong would still lose

[cunning geode]

best game of the year will be the Halo 2 Ruby’s Rebalance mod when it drops

[surreal halo]

Nice ^_^

[vivid belfry]

keeping my eye on this as well

[deft girder]

tyty

[surreal halo]

Does anyone think that mio might win game of the year?

[opaque sigil]

no

[surreal halo]

Hi nova ^_^

[humble surge]

first phase 3 attack done sorry about the hitboxes i forgor to disable them before recording https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1408110004174716981/1502037911435087912/Hollow_Knight_Silksong_2026-05-07_21-59-02_Trim.mp4?ex=69fe4150&is=69fcefd0&hm=1ce746267efde6090e0d19a2961c59f778cfc09dd01e09f4a54281c8786c68a2&

[surreal halo]

What is the name of the boss you are making?

[fiery burrow]

Mio is best indie on god

[humble surge]

pale automaton (its pretty lame, its predecessor already took auric aegis)

[opaque sigil]

delivery must complete trust

[fiery burrow]

GOTY is e33 dlc or something

roguelikes are banned from winning GOTY

[vivid belfry]

okay, so MIO is the game for Mina to beat for best game released this year

[opaque sigil]

didn't hades win a year

[humble surge]

ill be honest nine sols shouldve been goty the year it came out hands down nothing even comes close

[regal goblet]

guys I don't remember how to get to the ||first sinner|| do I need the key that can be found in|| putrified ducts|| ?

[fiery burrow]

Nine sols was 2024 right

Its got some fair competition and parryslop is banned from GOTY too

[minor sparrow]

No. Best indie though, probably

[fiery burrow]

Sekiro excluded

[trim estuary]

Far Far West for indie GOTY

[humble surge]

its not fair bro when fromsoft wins goty with parryslop its a "masterpiece" but when nine sols

[minor sparrow]

Oh right I've heard great things about that

[surreal halo]

Good luck on development ^_^

[lament pine]

Anyone have an explanation on the little ants

[minor sparrow]

2 pretty different games but yeah sure

[surreal halo]

I haven't played it but it's reviews looked good ^_^

[fiery burrow]

Sekiro's not a masterpiece but idk what else came out in 2019 that was noteworthy

[surreal halo]

Some art team cherry liked ^_^

[vivid belfry]

Nine Sols was my personal GOTY in 2024

[lament pine]

That’s not an explanation

[minor sparrow]

What about them? They're ants

[fiery burrow]

the outer worlds 🥀

[opaque sigil]

nine sols is ok but 2024 had balatro

[light swan]

wtf did i do in 2024

[lament pine]

It bends my brain how there can be “normal” bugs and then sentient bugs living in the same place

And nothing like it is seen anywhere else

[fiery burrow]

Oh POPTLC was 2024

[wind mulch]

2024 literally had call of duty black ops 6

[trim estuary]

Uhh have you ever seen a dog before

[odd hull]

what makes them non sentient?

[vivid belfry]

I think Balatro is just okay

[minor sparrow]

Wait who's the non sentient bug here?

[opaque sigil]

I don't think sapient mammals and nonsapient mammals can exist anywhere near each other

[light swan]

my 2022 goty was xc3, 2023 goty was xc3fr, 2024 goty was afterimage, 2025 goty was silksong, 2026 goty will be mio

[wind mulch]

balatro is good but unfortunately it insists upon itself

[trim estuary]

That’s true. I ate the dogs

[light swan]

i don’t remember any other game i played during 2024

[lament pine]

How does that correlate

[vivid belfry]

this is fun gimme a second

[surreal halo]

You mean the ants carrying away the bodies right?

[light swan]

2021 was way too long ago

[maiden gate]

Someone NEEDS to make a 3d printable ||pharlid/pharlid diver||

[wind mulch]

ever been to hallownest

[lament pine]

Yeah

[minor sparrow]

I quite like it as a game to pick up and put down. My favorite aspect of it is how well the synergies felt in the game

[surreal halo]

I don't know if there's much lore behind them -_-

[lament pine]

If u could tell me where something similar happens in hallownest im all ears

[light swan]

i think i played zelda games and p5r in 2023

[opaque sigil]

mine are xc3 totk balatro e33 2026 probably gonna be mhs3 or sts2

[lament pine]

Do u know the game ur playing

[light swan]

i dont think i like any of them mor than xc3fr

[wind mulch]

i dont know what ur talking about

[surreal halo]

Have you played botw?

[light swan]

yes

[wind mulch]

insect sentience ?

[surreal halo]

Yep ^_^

[light swan]

i still think they’re both overrated as fuck

good game for sure, thats it

[opaque sigil]

rare illusion L but that's ok

[surreal halo]

I don't know exactly why they were carrying them away... so I can only speculate ^_^

[vivid belfry]

2022: ULTRAKILL | 2023: Outer Wilds | 2024: Nine Sols | 2025: SAEKO | 2026: Higurashi

[fiery burrow]

does ultrakill count for 2022

[surreal halo]

The first one was fun bc of the glitches combined with the game itself ^_^

[vivid belfry]

yes

[wind mulch]

oh my god i thought we were in off topic

[light swan]

if i cant count xc3fr cux i already picked xc3, then i guess i’d choose totk

[vivid belfry]

I don't care about when games release, I care about when I play them

[wind mulch]

ur talking about silksong not actual ants

[lament pine]

If theres anything I’ve learned playing silksong and hollow knight it’s that team cherry makes it so that their world makes sense, there must be a lore explanation behind it but it’s bizarre how such different versions of ants live together in the same place

[opaque sigil]

outer wilds in 2023

[minor sparrow]

LMAO

[trim estuary]

Something something Hornet dialogue goes here

[surreal halo]

Tears of the kingdom had worse playstyle for me for some reason... -_-

[light swan]

despite me thinking its overrated, i stil had a blast

[fiery burrow]

Oh I see

[light swan]

the story is still great

[fiery burrow]

Ultrakill 1.0 will bag GOTY though fr

[lament pine]

I though people here cared about lore, guess not 🤷‍♂️

[light swan]

the exploration is worse but botw has mid exploration anyway so i don’t mind it

[opaque sigil]

idk

[wind mulch]

silksong doesnt have any lore

[trim estuary]

Golden arm will ruin the game

[minor sparrow]

I need to get better at sts2

[light swan]

but sky islands and depths are still interesting even if there’s no substance

[opaque sigil]

ultrakill fans are loud but I'm not sure how much broad appeal it really has

[vivid belfry]

if I'm forced to pick games that actually released in a year, 2026's frontrunner is MIO

[minor sparrow]

I suck so much at A3 bosses :(

[opaque sigil]

being good at sts2 is overrated crash and burn

[light swan]

if i had to do this then im cooked for 2024

did nine sols release 2024?

[fiery burrow]

If its a single target damage sword its prob gonna be fine

[minor sparrow]

Real. But I suck at deck building and fixing. Still incredibly fun when something just works tho

[opaque sigil]

do this shit and lose to the boss because you don't get damage on a turn where it isn't intangible have fun

[vivid belfry]

yep, so I'm safe

my 2023 winner would be blasphemous 2 instead of outer wilds

[light swan]

ok yea 9s would be my pick for 2024 if so

[fiery burrow]

that's true

[vivid belfry]

but also I'm not leaving Higurashi out of my rankings because it released in 2002

[minor sparrow]

I like playing ironclad and putting 5 vulnerable on an enemy with a damage cap per attack/turn ♥️

[vale whale]

me and le boys pulling up to hate on e33:💀💀🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

[light swan]

2022 xc3, 2023 xc3fr (or totk 🙄) 2024 nine sols 2025 silksong 2026 mio

[minor sparrow]

Are we doing edits of young sheldon

[trim estuary]

Is Ultrakill releasing on console after 1.0 or did they just add some of the best controller support I’ve seen for fun

[light swan]

does it count if i played a lot of xc3 in 2025

[opaque sigil]

sure why not

[fiery burrow]

I think its gonna be on console

[minor sparrow]

I almost misclicked and put yuri in this channel

[fiery burrow]

Controller is miserable though tf

[opaque sigil]

console ultrakill sounds terrible

[light swan]

2022: xc3 2023: xc3 2024: afterimage 2025: xc3 2026: mio

[minor sparrow]

Anyways, random meme in my gallery

[vivid belfry]

at least rocket riding with controller is like, possible now

[odd hull]

aww

[light swan]

wair i forgot i player xc3 the week before mio released

[opaque sigil]

respectable list

[light swan]

there goes mio ig

[void moat]

isnt it a fast paced doom-like shooter game? dont think a set sensitivity will do well

[fiery burrow]

TF|2 apparently is good for controller because of some movement shenanigans

[minor sparrow]

Needs more xc3

[opaque sigil]

it's way more deranged than a doom like

[rocky jolt]

So I was testing out a zoom mod I got commissioned, and I accidentally found this...

The needolin/Widow cutscene plays in the same room you pick up the orb thing on the ground.

X · May 7, 2026, 7:25 PM

[vivid belfry]

the first doom-like game for sega

[opaque sigil]

star get your most brain melting ultrakill clip the uninitiated must know

[void moat]

ccmaci posted this in sklore earlier too

[void moat]

i dont know much about the game other than there are like worlds yoh can visit and people love gabriel

[light swan]

how do i glaze xc3 more

[leaden delta]

I think so

[void moat]

i watched a playthrough but got bored around where they fought that leviathan boss thing and have since forgotten alot about it

[light swan]

grover surely you have 600 hours of rpg in you right

[trim estuary]

I tried to Death Star in CG after seeing those clips and blew myself up

[minor sparrow]

Put it in 2026 goty

And make it your server tag

[vivid belfry]

[deft girder]

so after three whole sawtooth guides, i've only now been told you're expected to cancel float and double jump with clawline

to maximize damage

[light swan]

you are?

[void moat]

sound warning gottdamn 😭

[deft girder]

apparently

[opaque sigil]

I'm at makna in xc1 I'll get there

[vivid belfry]

listen I'm gonna level with you I think the greatest story ever told in a videogame has 3 hours of playtime

[leaden delta]

Ultrakill ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

[trim estuary]

is it the giantess dating sim

[vivid belfry]

yes

[deft girder]

maintains height and increases dps so it's easier to kill fliers

[minor sparrow]

The what

[fiery burrow]

this one better actually fr

[fiery burrow]

whoops

[vivid belfry]

WAIT NO

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS

THAT'S JUST THE TITLE

forgive me for my momentary lapse in judgement
