[plucky stag]

and that's how the true ending will play out; that is my prediction

[exotic dome]

better than lace

[orchid spruce]

tom dont click ||holy hell so this is what happens when you pay attention to the story|| (mio)

[rocky jolt]

is that john iron lung

[cunning geode]

yeh

mark stractible

[orchid spruce]

[plucky stag]

i like doing that with media; making predictions of where the story goes next

[exotic dome]

yea lol

[plucky stag]

got it, i did not click

[rocky jolt]

holy shit

[orchid spruce]

i wish i paid more attention when playing but i liked the gameplay loop more than halting to read

so im overcompensating and reading everything in ender lilies

[plucky stag]

basically miomaxing over the next few days because i don't want to be in the middle of a long campaign game when subnautica 2 drops on thursday

[mystic phoenix]

silksong is getting so boring

[proud plume]

guys i really want a godhome like dlc to replay the bosses

[severe steeple]

how much have you played

[exotic dome]

install pantheon of pharloom mod if you are on pc

[mystic phoenix]

for 200 hours?

[severe steeple]

play something else

[mystic phoenix]

wow good tip thank bro

[severe steeple]

be refreshed for when dlc ccomes

[mystic phoenix]

[silk monolith]

hades 2

[severe steeple]

idk good games

[exotic dome]

Horror Night with Tung Tung Tung Sahur

play mio

[silk monolith]

chat should i start streaming on twitch

[crisp heron]

THIS IS GENUINELY HOW I DIED TO A STEEL CUP RUN OH MY GODDDD IM SO PISSED

I HAD BEAT ALL THE BOSSES TOO HOLY SHIT

[exotic dome]

rip

[crisp heron]

yrs peanut butter do it even if you dont get any views i still enjoyedd it

[silk monolith]

im crine

[silk monolith]

thank you twin

i should do a no death cuphead run its been a minute since i played cuphead

i still need to beat the dlc

[crisp heron]

good luck brocake its brutal

i was doing no charms or supers and was planning to the the dlc after everything in the base game sighhh

[silk monolith]

does it include getting A+ and above or nah

[crisp heron]

I personally was getting At least A- for everything but do what you wanna brocake

The only boss I got a B on was pretty humorously rumor honeybottoms

so i was gonna have to fight her again

[mystic phoenix]

what should i play

[silk monolith]

yeah that and the big bird im kinda iffy on

[crisp heron]

cuphead

[mystic phoenix]

no i already played enough of cuphead

[crisp heron]

Genuinely wally is evil but surprisingly i found beppi one of the hardest???

[cunning geode]

star of providence :]

[mystic phoenix]

whats that

[cunning geode]

is a bullet hell arcadey dungeon crawler

[mystic phoenix]

no im not gonna play it

[silk monolith]

beppi aint allat djimmi the last phase confuses me sometimes

[cunning geode]

you might call it... a roguelike

[crisp heron]

do what i did last year it was insanely fun

each cuphead boss on expert 9 times, once with only a single weapon and nothing else in your load out

[cunning geode]

bullet hell not your vibe?

[crisp heron]

i did that shit and oh my god some were genuinely horrible

[mystic phoenix]

does terraria count as bullet hell type

[silk monolith]

im never doing that shit 😭

[cunning geode]

uhh sometimes

modded stuff loves to get like a bullet hell

[mystic phoenix]

i did masodeath with wotg

[crisp heron]

cough cough
grim matchstick spreadshot
phantom express lobber
dlc final boss lobber
dlc secret boss lobber
uhhh i actualy forgot which others were even hard

[cunning geode]

biggest problem for terraria though is air movement is mostly momentum based and not permanent (you still need to touch down on ground) and also its a nightmare keeping track of when you actually take damage

[silk monolith]

do you use chalice in the dlc or nah

[crisp heron]

rumor honeybottoms spread is only difficult if you dont damage her enoigh to have her on barely any health in the last phase

[crisp heron]

nah only the weapon no charms or anyrhing

[mystic phoenix]

im pretty sure i can handle those problems

[cunning geode]

thats fine

star of providence is an actual bullet hell 👹

[mystic phoenix]

like touhou series

[cunning geode]

also very fun and replayable

yes like that

[crisp heron]

grim matchstick expert spreadshot only

try it

its genuinely the least fun you'll have in a videogame like ever

[silk monolith]

theres an actual bullet hell in gungeon and i need to know how to get to it

[silk monolith]

i can imagine and no i dont wanna try it

[crisp heron]

the last phase

is actually hell

[silk monolith]

fuck the last phase tf do you do with the fire kids phase

[mystic phoenix]

i remember i did like 7 days of lob corp and then dropped it

[crisp heron]

just look at the fire kids they look in the direction they're gonna jump

then just move to the other side of the screen

[silk monolith]

no like with spread you gotta get way too close and ion like that

[mystic phoenix]

cs2 is unplayable without friends

[silk monolith]

cs2 is unplayable

[crisp heron]

it takes two is unplayable without a friend

[mystic phoenix]

ultrakill i dont like it that much to be playing it again

[onyx python]

cs2 is unplayable in every way

[mystic phoenix]

i dropped it on p2 brutal prank attempts

[cunning geode]

doom 2 time

[onyx python]

based

[silk monolith]

you should play hotline miami

[crisp heron]

hello neighbor is unplayable

[mystic phoenix]

not even because its hard

but because its just boring to keep grinding

[cunning geode]

no obligation to

[crisp heron]

silksong security breach

[mystic phoenix]

gauntlet before sisyphus is pretty much not changing at all through all the difficulties, unless its like brutal to harmless comparasion

i could go for doing some like

pantheons ab white spells old nail or some

[crisp heron]

god xbox controllers smell so good

[light swan]

hi

[exotic dome]

valve should abandon cs2 and make tf3 instead

[cunning geode]

they should not make tf3

[silk monolith]

valve should start making single player games again

[mystic phoenix]

tf3 isnt a good idea

[crisp heron]

team fortress 2 isnt even real

[cunning geode]

half life alyx?

[odd hull]

Helo guys

[exotic dome]

yea tf3 is not needed probably

hi

[silk monolith]

wheres portal 3

[silk monolith]

hi

[cunning geode]

[quartz rampart]

[silk monolith]

i fear half life 3 might happen after gaben dies

[sharp slate]

[exotic dome]

[pallid plinth]

its about how life is short and you should spend every second of it on stuff you won't regret!

[full rune]

we're so back

[vital kiln]

rahhh

[haughty barn]

Anyone just see the concert in LA

[ember peak]

which one?

[haughty barn]

It happened earlier and played silksong and hollow knight ost

[rare nest]

Lost Lace has to be the hardest boss in the game 😭

[sharp slate]

yea i would say so

[atomic sparrow]

well given its the true final boss it makes sense
I think karmelita is the only one thats in contention for it

[rare nest]

She's giving me such a hard time but I don't mind because it's not like she's blocking me from more of the game after I kill her there's just nothing left for me to do

[plucky stag]

Took me the longest to defeat (6 hours)

[crisp heron]

im drinking water

[rare nest]

I skipped karmelita and just grabbed the conjoined heart

[plucky stag]

Although in hindsight if I took it in chunks instead of being driven by pure determination and marathonning my final session it could have been less

Fatigue gets to you

[atomic sparrow]

go back and kill her for no reason (its a good fight though!)

[rare nest]

Nooo the bush bug likes her

I don't wanna make bushy sad

Also she's a pain in the ass to fight

[hoary tendon]

dude i am act 2 grandmother silk at 26 hrs

is this bad or good?

[plucky stag]

it took me 72 hours to get that far

[ornate latch]

dude enjoy the game😭

[hoary tendon]

my god

[opaque sigil]

longer than I took but not too long

[plucky stag]

i think i'm just a bit worse at playing games for the first time

[hoary tendon]

silksong is lowkey better than hk

[opaque sigil]

eh

in some ways

[plucky stag]

unless the game is straightforward, if you give me an estimate of how long a game typically takes multiply it by 1.5

[hoary tendon]

damn

[plucky stag]

it took me 31 hours to leave act 1

[hoary tendon]

plus bellbeast is so cute

[plucky stag]

i want to say it's because i took my time and enjoyed the sidequests whenever i stumbled across one

but even so that is a snail's pace

[hoary tendon]

i have like 67 side quest pending💀

[plucky stag]

but that is the beauty of playing it day one; you're ignorant of how slow you are since you're self-isolating

[hoary tendon]

fr

hk was way fun in day 1 then it is in day 1 silksong

[plucky stag]

you played hollow knight on day one in 2017?

[hoary tendon]

no i recently played it

took me 117 hrs to complete

[limber dagger]

wtf he still sitting in that voice channel

[hoary tendon]

for the first time

[plucky stag]

when i talk about day one, i mean playing the game on the day it releases

[severe steeple]

every game is like silksong but worse

[hoary tendon]

ohh burv

[plucky stag]

when nobody knows anything yet and none of the facts have been estabilshed yet

[hoary tendon]

fr

[hoary tendon]

like i didnt use any guides

[plucky stag]

basically playing on the day team cherry fired the starting gun and it was off to the races

[hoary tendon]

i did everything without it

[sharp slate]

oh so just playing blind

[hoary tendon]

yea ig

i am missing 2 things tho

the key of apostlew

which i cant find

and some gay ahh quest

[severe steeple]

you kill the groal yet?

[hoary tendon]

who is groal?

[severe steeple]

you got the wings yet?

[hoary tendon]

monarch wings?

[severe steeple]

yea

[hoary tendon]

no

does silksong even have wings?

tf

[severe steeple]

well not sure how far you are into the game

[hoary tendon]

i am at act 2 and at grandmother silk

[severe steeple]

then you got plenty to still explore

[hoary tendon]

fah

can we see completon percentage

in silksong?

[severe steeple]

later you will be able to see it

im guessing youre just missing one upgrade that will allow you to find all the areas you werent able to go to before

[hoary tendon]

ig

[reef rock]

silksong tommorow

✌️

[orchid spruce]

sea of sorrow trailer will be announced today

stay tuned

[limber dagger]

SoS tomorrow

[fleet temple]

What are the chances of SoS being delayed?

[limber dagger]

0.112%

[exotic dome]

not zero

[thorn copper]

HIGH HALLS gauntlet second try with 5 masks n1

[stiff gale]

Guys someone explain me how the blades work in 2nd phase of moorwing

[thorn copper]

best moment in the game imo

[hybrid flare]

I dreamed of SoS today

There was a siren boss

[stable mica]

tell me ur visions

what happened?

[hybrid flare]

There was also a fourth lace fight 💔

Nah jk i dont quite remember

The final boss was another of gms's discarded daughters

[thorn copper]

2hours and 30 mins gg all achivements

[thorn copper]

didn't see that message but while fighting lace 2 was genuinely thinking about playing a mod with a lace 3 or lost lace 2 if it exists

[silk monolith]

lets go

[thorn copper]

welp

imma go into bellhome for the 2 first file cuz it looks good imo and then it will be time to wait for sea of sorrow lmao

[sharp slate]

Nice congrats!

[thorn copper]

ty !

[weak depot]

Hm?

No, bellhome colour matches what you colour it

[plucky stag]

congratulations on getting your 52 before sos came out

getting steel heart before the dlc is honestly a slightly bigger achievement than getting it after

because right now there's only one way to get 100% and finish the game

[thorn copper]

red bellhome for normal and steel for steel soul

[plucky stag]

the more things they add in the future, the easier it will be

[thorn copper]

the thread thing

[thorn copper]

tysm

[thorn copper]

ye

[plucky stag]

i was going to hop on silksong again after i finished mio but then subnautica 2 is about to release

at this point my only hope is that leth was just trolling all of us and sos isn't coming out in may at all

[thorn copper]

i think i will wait for sub2 to fully releas before buying it

i finished mio recently and now i'm trying nine sols

it's absolutly sick

[plucky stag]

true ending?

i am (literally in this moment) now fighting ||ati, who i believe is the final boss for the normal ending|| (don't confirm or deny, please)

i just paused the game to chat a bit in here to calm down

[thorn copper]

ye

both endings

[plucky stag]

No! I've been spoiled now that there are exactly two endings!

In all seriousness, it's no biggie

But this sort of thing is why the most popular tunic video showcasing the endings is titled "all endings"

[hybrid flare]

Mio is hella good

[plucky stag]

Specific wording matters sometimes

[thorn copper]

i see mb

[plucky stag]

Again, no biggie

I was already spoiled that there was a true ending

[thorn copper]

ye i'm sad i completed it so quickly

[plucky stag]

Glad to at least know there aren't any more after that

[thorn copper]

shit i forgot to edit my profile to all achivements

[plucky stag]

okay, now i'm starting to fall off and can't lock in anymore

going to have to put it down for a while and try again later

[graceful oyster]

Tom making big progress in Mio

Love to see it

[brave geyser]

i should play mio

[plucky stag]

am currently fighting ||ati, keeper of the heart||

my best has been about halfway through the healthbar but now i've decided to stop the session

[graceful oyster]

It can bleed it can die

I am so sunburnt ouch

[plucky stag]

exactly

i had the same experience fighting lost lace

got really close (as in phase 4 close) then i started to fall off and get fatigued

i had to put the game down for a few hours and come back to it

it wasn't even an instant win afterwards, it still took an hour and a half to win

[steel escarp]

So, I'm noticing while playing LL with barbed bracelet for fun-

[graceful oyster]

LL for fun 🥀

[steel escarp]

Lace's tentacles attacks do the same thing radiance's orbs used to do-

They linger after the attack finishes

It's...

Annoying..

[plucky stag]

just in case ||ati really is the normal final boss and i'm about to roll credits|| on mio, i'd like some pointers for the true ending

[graceful oyster]

You should specify which game you're spoiling when you tag things

Everyone just clicks on them

[plucky stag]

sorry

[graceful oyster]

It's fine

[hybrid flare]

Spin the wheel

[steel escarp]

There's nothing else to do

[plucky stag]

what

[graceful oyster]

No mods?

[steel escarp]

I'm a purist

[graceful oyster]

That's kinda boring

Boss refights are fun

[plucky stag]

i have just been straight up miomaxing the last few days because now i'm freed up due to finishing a speedrun race

[graceful oyster]

Playthroughs with one crest are also fun

[plucky stag]

but now also because subnautica 2 is about to drop and i don't want to be in the middle of a long campaign game when it does

[steel escarp]

I did steel soul with only hunters

[hybrid flare]

Yeah ll is peak ofc you'd want to replay ll

[plucky stag]

"miomaxing" by the way is just one letter off from "minmaxing" (the letter in question is even right next to it on the alphabet)

[steel escarp]

She's nice yeah but

I'm only replaying her to sharpen myself for sea of sorrow

[plucky stag]

what did you mean by that

[hybrid flare]

Spin the wheel

[midnight magnet]

I prefer boundless infinity

[plucky stag]

i guess i could do that to determine my next game

[hybrid flare]

Boundless infinity is parryslop

[plucky stag]

except i've already decided what that is (subnautica 2)

[charred tiger]

what is boundless infinity

?

[trim estuary]

AI slop Pure Vessel mod

[charred tiger]

uhh

any clips of it

[trim estuary]

Nah

[finite swift]

i dont even know what the hell is happening

isnt this the roaring knight

[waxen sentinel]

currently trying to beat ||lost lace|| the only way i can focus is listening to that scooby doo creepy run song

genuinely the furthest i got was listening to that song

scooby doo scooby dooscooby dooscooby dooscooby doobydoobydoobydoobydoo

i was gonna post this in #sk-help but i felt it was far too deep for that

[twin summit]

i cant even think of a funny reply 😭 im too shocked

[still osprey]

Why is Groal's whole ass body visible when only the head is visible for every other npc/fight

[exotic dome]

fixed groal runback:
right as you enter the bilehaven room, the spike balls fall down (like the trap in quick sling room) and breaks the ground, opening the secret bench room. so the bench is unlocked from above. there is also a breakable wall on the left of the bench as a shortcut to below.

[plush pendant]

Groal is just too powerful

[exotic dome]

i couldnt find the map marker

[sage umbra]

Hello silkers

[twin summit]

wreath is there? i thought it was in putrid

[distant mesa]

Apostate key wrong side of the room?

[twin summit]

oh

[exotic dome]

i edited the upper bilewater and putrid

[twin summit]

nvm, just needed to read

[distant mesa]

And wreath is in ducts

[queen acorn]

why

[twin summit]

i was too tired to read the 2 sentances of explanation

[exotic dome]

i think it could be done better

[twin summit]

the real question is, why not

[exotic dome]

and yea

[queen acorn]

it could be done better by getting removed

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1095917683180044330/1499996765242392747/togif.gif

[twin summit]

i like bilewater

[exotic dome]

👀

[queen acorn]

no you dont

you gaslit yourself into liking bilewater like every other person here

[twin summit]

i do

[exotic dome]

i halved the putrids and removed the groal runback

[twin summit]

i love it

everything is wonderful

[queen acorn]

wrong

[twin summit]

so happy

[queen acorn]

you forced yourself to endure it until you could say you didnt hate it

i miss bilewater hate

[twin summit]

ngl, i legit like bilewater. its fun

i mean, fun

[distant mesa]

But compared to other areas?

Thats what you can compare from

[twin summit]

better than hunters march

[distant mesa]

:(

[queen acorn]

ass vs ass

act no march is good im sorry march fans

[distant mesa]

Bilewater is way bigger

[exotic dome]

bilewater's vertical platforming part is the most interesting platforming section in the entire game

[queen acorn]

i heard interesting and not good 👀

[exotic dome]

don't say karak i will kill you

[distant mesa]

Karak is fun

But saying bilewater is fun and comparing it to hunters march is like saying you like putrified ducts because you deem it better as bilewater

[exotic dome]

bilewater's vertical platforming part is the most interesting and good and perfect and amazing and 100/10 platforming section in the entire game

[toxic vigil]

abyss climb ( if it was longer )

[queen acorn]

dudes held at gunpoint

[twin summit]

on second though, i like every erea equally

[queen acorn]

i hate every area equally except wisp thicket its the greatest area ever

[distant mesa]

Verdania

[exotic dome]

true but that's more of a cinematic sequence

[twin summit]

Wisp thicket is over hated

[queen acorn]

true its so good and funn and i love wisp thicket its a one million out of ten area

[distant mesa]

Wisp thicket is over small't

i fucking hate when bosses deal double damage js by touching them

its so annoying

[cold trellis]

Father of flame wasn’t as bad as I thought

I actually find it quite enjoyable now

[rich pagoda]

Yea I wish contact damage was set to 1 mask
But then that opens up silly damage tanking and iframe possibilities

[waxen sentinel]

scooby doo scooby doo scooby doo scooby doo scooby doobydoobydoobydoo

help i cant get it out of my head

[rich pagoda]

But I do also hate when I fall into lava or spikes mid fight and respawn clipped into an enemy so I'm basically guaranteed to take contact damage

[waxen sentinel]

real

[rich pagoda]

I like to call that "Actual BS"

[keen solstice]

• benchless
• voltvessel bolas

[toxic vigil]

you get forced benched a few times

[viscid copper]

its called nine sols because theres nine souls in the game

[silk monolith]

it says no nine sols

[toxic vigil]

like when doing deliveries you get forced respawn to bellhart or after getting drifter's cloak you get set to seamstress's bench

[silk monolith]

if you quit out

[toxic vigil]

yeah

im not fucking doing it toolless

[silk monolith]

why are you quitting out its not a speedrun

[toxic vigil]

because i want a break from playing sk??
are we fr

[rich pagoda]

Because the game generally feels fair. It's just things like that which do not feel fair or at least fun. In HK you had the occasional hit knockback into spikes combo that was annoying and kinda unfair. But Silksong has more of those occurrences plus hazard respawn auto hits that are BS

[silk monolith]

no breaks play like a chud

[toxic vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/itachi-itachi-uchiha-naruto-anime-gif-gif-6980510505105788152

[silk monolith]

this is js any% or true ending?

[toxic vigil]

i did act 3 ending

[silk monolith]

any% i can do benchless

[rich pagoda]

Honestly I think allowing use of the game's automatic hard saved benches probably leads to some interesting strategy and routing so it should be allowed

[silk monolith]

yhats amazing

if you play like a chud and take 0 breaks the first forced bench would prolly be the diving bell

[rich pagoda]

I generally support things that make a challenge run more interesting

I also mean hard save points in the game

Because it makes routing more interesting

[hardy lichen]

Were moorwing and sister splinter really difficult before they were nerfed? I beat them in 6 and 1 attempts respectively (moorwing was definitely a bit challenging, but very much predictable)

[silk monolith]

act 1 routing is pretty straightforward

[silk monolith]

splinter not so much moorwing yes

they did nerf both tho idk to what extent

[hardy lichen]

ah i just looked up, apparently moorwings projectiles dealt 2 masks of damage

[silk monolith]

everything did 2 damage first patch

[toxic vigil]

technically you don't sit on it but travel
the first forced bench is after red memory

[toxic vigil]

also sister splinter summons did 2

[silk monolith]

before no?

[hardy lichen]

i see

its good that they nerfed em

[toxic vigil]

71%

[hardy lichen]

i can why new players would struggle and consequently quit the game

[toxic vigil]

higher than i expected

[silk monolith]

okay ig sitting for red memory can be considered part of the cutscene

[toxic vigil]

you get spawned on the bench after

[silk monolith]

how do you farm rosaries if you're low

quit and come back

[toxic vigil]

i never want to farm rosaries i will always just use the debug mod

[silk monolith]

what is that mod

[thin tendon]

do rosaries and geo have an exchange rate

[glossy nebula]

Look at arcane egg price in both

[glossy nebula]

Citadel

[silk monolith]

on a benchless run goofy

[plucky stag]

Historically this is how real exchange rates used to be calculated

For example with the gold standard

[orchid spruce]

afterimage is actually pretty cool

[cold trellis]

…Like the game?

[orchid spruce]

the game

[plucky stag]

If an ounce of gold cost £1 in Britain and $1.50 in America, it was pretty obvious what the exchange rate was

[silk monolith]

1200 geo and 600 rosaries for 1 arcane egg js checked

[glossy nebula]

But arcane egg's price could have become lower because It could have become more common

[civic island]

There's an exchange rate 😭

[orchid spruce]

i think the art looks pretty now

[glossy nebula]

And take the fact that nearly everyone in pharloom is poor

[orchid spruce]

am i developing stockholm syndrome

[glossy nebula]

Someone has got alot of rosaries to keep the economy thriving

Who tho

[silk monolith]

scrounge got suspiciously insane amounts of rosaries

especially for someone outside the citadel

[orchid spruce]

not the NPCs repeating themselves every time I interact

[teal ridge]

then 2 geo is 1 rosary

[orchid spruce]

nvm, afterimage kinda stinks

[teal ridge]

hallownest economy sucks

[glossy nebula]

Scrounge is rich

In steel soul there is another rich guy

But big spoilers

[orchid spruce]

nvm, afterimage kinda rocks

[silk monolith]

okay I js got myself confused with economics of hk

[orchid spruce]

my opinions on this game keep swinging back and forth

[twin summit]

i know ive already asked, but, is there anything im missing before i fight the final boss of act 2?

[glossy nebula]

Compass

I am dping nearly the same run but with randomizer

I dont have any maps just compass

[teal ridge]

that one

[silk monolith]

it should be reverse i feel like cause hallownest was much better than pharloom

[twin summit]

thx guy for all your help, ill atepmt gms when i wake up

[orchid spruce]

i'm unironically having fun with afterimage

[verbal herald]

guys should i be fighting widdow on 5 masks

[orchid spruce]

more when i actually have interesting things to say

[glossy nebula]

Hollow nest has a thriving economy, pharloom's economy is just investors

[orchid spruce]

i mean, sure. most ppl fought her with 5 masks anw

[verbal herald]

why is the runback kinda long the nearest bench is in the next area

[silk monolith]

yes thats the norm

[orchid spruce]

there's a bench in shellwood, it's not that long

from the bellveins, you gotta find a breakable wall that leads to shellwood

[silk monolith]

its js 1 elevator ride away

[verbal herald]

wait i found a secret way so i dont use the elevator

also how have i only found 2 fleas

[silk monolith]

in the natural route i take to get to act 2 ASAP as possible I only find 1 flea before widow

so you're doing great

[heady canyon]

good morning

today i am going to glaze gms

[plucky stag]

I mean, it is mother's day today

[heady canyon]

yeah

[glossy nebula]

We all love gms

She didnt do anything wrong

It was lace and widow

Start of act 2 when you meet lace, lace goes up and lets gms extend her silk towards the citadel

Widow extended it to bellhart

[toxic vigil]

hello

[azure patrol]

Remember there is no evidence supporting the viral claim that Pale King is texting 17k year old weavers while being 22k year old

[ornate latch]

oops

[toxic vigil]

she wasn't trapped?

[glossy nebula]

I think it was the 17k year old weavers wanting a child

For their selfish reasojs

[lone crag]

she's there by choice

[glossy nebula]

Widow is loyal to gms

She wants her to wake up

That is why she has her silk stopped with needles

[toxic vigil]

cinema

[glossy nebula]

The other weavers (who are all evil including herra the beast) made gms go to an eternal sleep as lony as pilgrims play songs

[ornate latch]

wait im kind of stupid i meant phantom

[toxic vigil]

probably because gms hates them

[ornate latch]

who wins:a judge who has stood at the top for countless generations OR cloak blade with beer and fire

[toxic vigil]

imagine if circlet got buffed by flintslate

[waxen sentinel]

me

[ornate latch]

that would be wayy to op

[toxic vigil]

also for some reason bracelet isn't shown

[ornate latch]

wdym me😭

[toxic vigil]

40 dmg circlet..

circlet is already too op

[ornate latch]

yeah sometimes it does that as i think it has a random chance to visually apply spikes to mask

[toxic vigil]

its meant to be always

[ornate latch]

yeah but sometimes it does that

[azure patrol]

Shawerma

[toxic vigil]

build used

what boss do i circlet clip next

[ornate latch]

karmelita

[azure patrol]

Wanderer on top

[waxen sentinel]

[toxic vigil]

i already have like 4

[waxen sentinel]

what is circlet clip

[ornate latch]

oh

[azure patrol]

Must be the one that lets you combo

[toxic vigil]

a clip using sawtooth circlet

[ornate latch]

do you have a circlet clip with witch crest ?

[azure patrol]

Easy when you have beaten it like 10 times before
Nothing beats multibinder wanderer still

[toxic vigil]

spogos

[waxen sentinel]

wow

[ornate latch]

witch crest my goat❤️

[toxic vigil]

i mean i can do better than that

[waxen sentinel]

is it bad ive used the starting crest the entire time

[toxic vigil]

i just didn't spend too much time on that

[waxen sentinel]

soz guys i cant adjust 🕊️

[toxic vigil]

not really, it gets upgraded

[ornate latch]

not rlly unless you didnt upgrade it

[toxic vigil]

in fact it has the highest needle dps

[waxen sentinel]

ive jsut found it consistently the best

[toxic vigil]

yeah its great

i used it a lot for no hits

[glossy nebula]

She doesnt have enough silk to live

[ornate latch]

oh right i cant read💔

[toxic vigil]

what boss other than karmelita lj and nyleth do i do for a circlet clip

[waxen sentinel]

lost lace phase 3 reminds me of the whole house mad gif

[ornate latch]

crawfather

[ornate latch]

do you have a circlet clip with reaper

[glossy nebula]

Lost sinner

[toxic vigil]

i got one for every crest

[glossy nebula]

Also is it just attack and triple jump

[toxic vigil]

but i also want to do a few boss ones

[glossy nebula]

How do you press the buttons so fast

[toxic vigil]

pretty much?

[glossy nebula]

Attack, jump once jump twice for feathrr third time for the cloak circlet then repeat

[toxic vigil]

attack and jump at the same time, djump and attack shortly after, cloak attack and repeat cloak attack

[ornate latch]

double jump attack cloak attack cloak attack repeat until you need to use cross stitch

[toxic vigil]

and yeah cstitch

[glossy nebula]

So Z And X same time, then Z then x then z then x

[toxic vigil]

85 free damage + invincibility frames instead of going back

[toxic vigil]

ya

its not that hard

[glossy nebula]

I want to get the circlet, was it from a vendor

[ornate latch]

people play sk or hk with the reg controls?? ig its just a preference

[toxic vigil]

12th architect

[glossy nebula]

I dont have enough geo for it I think cuz rando deathes

[toxic vigil]

you also need a craftmetal

[glossy nebula]

I got one

I got clove dancers and the three songs left for me to finish my run

[heady canyon]

here is the build i'm currently using for for no-hitting: magnetite dice, compass, magnetite brooch, shard pendant, claw mirror, druid's eye, warding bell, plasmium phial. do you have any suggestions on how to improve this build?

[glossy nebula]

But I think high halls would be alot of pain

[toxic vigil]

weighted belt

[ocean quarry]

uhhhh, why plasmium phial for no-hitting

[ornate latch]

add fractured mask

[toxic vigil]

probably to limit red tools

[glossy nebula]

Hmm keep druid's eye, whatever they say it is very important for the synergy with compas

[ocean quarry]

they could just... not equip any

[glossy nebula]

It has a very good synergy with the compass

[ocean quarry]

wait i've been baited

[waxen sentinel]

magnetite brooch?

[ocean quarry]

lmaoooo

[waxen sentinel]

how have i missed this much stuff in the game

[ocean quarry]

i'm dumb

[waxen sentinel]

how fast my smile faded when the completion screen said 85%

[toxic vigil]

ITS IN THE FIRST SHOP

[waxen sentinel]

WHAT

[toxic vigil]

yeah

[glossy nebula]

Dont worry it only takes a couple of seconds

[glossy nebula]

It is now stolen by the thieves guilt

[waxen sentinel]

wait literally where

[toxic vigil]

go to grindle if you don't have it in act 3

[ocean quarry]

blasted steps

[glossy nebula]

The shop keeper died because your dumb

[waxen sentinel]

oh dude thats crazy

[ocean quarry]

grindle shop

[ornate latch]

pebb the guy in bone bottom and in grindles shop in act 3

[waxen sentinel]

hey

[toxic vigil]

if you don't buy it in act 1 / 2 pebb dies and you cna buy it at grindle

[glossy nebula]

I mean because hornet is dumb

[glossy nebula]

Why doesnt she kill grindle

[ocean quarry]

i kinda hate how pebb dies no matter what

[ornate latch]

they give useful stuff

[glossy nebula]

Lost pebb is a good fight

[glossy nebula]

Trobio

[ocean quarry]

why the fuck is groal there

[toxic vigil]

alright any ideas for who is next

[ocean quarry]

who invited gro

[glossy nebula]

Groal the goat

[ornate latch]

only one spawn 😭

[glossy nebula]

Lost sinner

[toxic vigil]

[glossy nebula]

Do it she is fun

[waxen sentinel]

SAME

[toxic vigil]

its a modded boss

[glossy nebula]

It is like first sinner but a bit harder

[ornate latch]

lace

[waxen sentinel]

oh wait

[glossy nebula]

It seems so much harder, but it isnt

[waxen sentinel]

well i havent done 1st sinner yet so i going to

[glossy nebula]

Do the flea minigames first

[toxic vigil]

you can get the worst silk skill for that!

[glossy nebula]

They are fun

[waxen sentinel]

did that already

i tried to complete the game before finishing it but ig i missed some stuff...im missing sm charms n stuff

[glossy nebula]

Normal

[waxen sentinel]

im dumb i did have the magnetite brooch i jsut didnt know its name

[orchid spruce]

I don't know if it's just the early game but exploration in Afterimage just goes on and on

I hope it continues this way

[waxen sentinel]

why does my bug journal say ive encountered everything if im missing a bunch of spaces

[toxic vigil]

alright

[toxic vigil]

screenshot?

[waxen sentinel]

wait why cant i add photo

it says encounteredf 223/223 but completed 179/223

but if ive encountered them all why do i have spaces

[toxic vigil]

the max is around 230

so encountered is just wrong

[toxic vigil]

1st attempt, halfway

[waxen sentinel]

that one stock image of the guy choking himself

also where is songclave shopkeeper 😥 no come back i dont know if i bought everything

[toxic vigil]

[hybrid flare]

nuh uh

[orchid spruce]

afterimage is like, actually good

unironically

[sage umbra]

She is like a god or something

[orchid spruce]

it's winning me over

[ivory loom]

smh i should not have littered

i got jumped outta nowhere

[glossy nebula]

No she isnt that hard just takes like 20 attempts

[sage umbra]

Yeah surely with enough practice

[glossy nebula]

No no, first phase is normal sinner but with alot more nails

So like normal sinner with gms attack

[sage umbra]

wait is that a modded boss?

[glossy nebula]

Then phase 2 is just you trying to not let her heal

[glossy nebula]

Yes

You need to try her

[sage umbra]

Yeah make sense now

What is it called?

[glossy nebula]

It isnt that hard

[glossy nebula]

It just looks hard. Lost sinner

First beat the game

It contains spoilers

[errant rune]

Yoo they added loading saves
I don't have to deal with no Swift Step ever again every time I wanna start a new run 🥹

[glossy nebula]

Beat the true ending

[hybrid flare]

ion trust yo tastes

[broken seal]

that's been in the game since release

[orchid spruce]

neither do i

[sage umbra]

Yeah already did

[orchid spruce]

[hybrid flare]

[glossy nebula]

Beat cave story

Cave story + on steam or freeware version

Best version is the nintendo switch version

[hybrid flare]

oh ew

[glossy nebula]

What is ew

[hybrid flare]

Nintendo switch

[glossy nebula]

Cave story is the best ibdi game in my opinion

[hybrid flare]

truth nuke

[glossy nebula]

Sad that the nintendo switch version isnt fully ported to pc

Yep

But honestly if you use a code on steam you will get access to the nintendo switch version

[glossy nebula]

@hybrid flare i suggest trying the freeware version, once you beat it play the plus version for the extra stuff in the remakes

[hybrid flare]

I've rarely heard of this game despite claiming to be one of the most well known indies oat

I've also got other games to play

[orchid spruce]

sounds like a cult classic

i don't like cults

[hybrid flare]

It does look like it

[glossy nebula]

It is one of the most wellknown back in 2004 till 2010

Old indie gamers basically

You new gens wouldnt understand how peak this was back then

[hybrid flare]

yeah that's what they all said about ds1

[glossy nebula]

Try it, it is main inspiration for undertale

[smoky dove]

its the best charm in the game wdym its not a joke

[glossy nebula]

Imagine undertale story but you got guns and shooting everything trying to save these little creatures called mamigas.

[orchid spruce]

sounds lame

[glossy nebula]

Go try it, it is like a megabyte big.(execluding win 11 patch)

[hybrid flare]

nah nah nah

[orchid spruce]

me has no money

[hybrid flare]

wym, poor towel?????, what about his pc??

[orchid spruce]

💸

[hybrid flare]

ONE megabyte???!?! no fucking chance

[orchid spruce]

so true 🙁

[glossy nebula]

It has a freeware version

Which is a megabyte big

It has port to nearly every platform

Even an android port

[glossy nebula]

Games back when no game engines

[orchid spruce]

i'm not that excited about it, not enough to set up things

[glossy nebula]

When game engines where made by self

[glossy nebula]

Just watch a video or something about it

Yes

[orchid spruce]

i assume it is mediocre all around except the story

[glossy nebula]

No it has very cool bossfights

[orchid spruce]

doubt

[glossy nebula]

And the true ending is cool

[glossy nebula]

Watch a video about it

[orchid spruce]

what is the best boss's egg ratio

[glossy nebula]

It is very cool. The true ending has a 15 mins rush while being attacked from everywhere and dodging and fighting bosses

[glossy nebula]

What is egg?

[orchid spruce]

nine sols final boss

[glossy nebula]

I didnt play nine sols yet

[orchid spruce]

if its like 0.25 egg, i can give it a shot

oh ok

[glossy nebula]

It is like 6 egg shaped rocks if I remember correctly

[orchid spruce]

i will probably play it eventually when i run out of games to play

[glossy nebula]

Try it now

[orchid spruce]

i am still juggling 3 games

[glossy nebula]

For like an hour and see it

[orchid spruce]

ok, i will watch a video gameplay

and skip to the final boss

[glossy nebula]

No

Big spoilers

Like ultimately big spoilers which would ruin the game for you

[orchid spruce]

oops

the boss looks modest

[glossy nebula]

Just try it

[orchid spruce]

about 0.05egg

[glossy nebula]

Normal final boss is 6 eggs

And you can ride the eggs

[orchid spruce]

does the story have moral dilemma

[glossy nebula]

Yes

[orchid spruce]

as its central theme?

[glossy nebula]

It is all about humans making an expedition to a flying island

And the humans being greedy

[orchid spruce]

is that a dilemma

[glossy nebula]

Yes

[orchid spruce]

[glossy nebula]

Because you can stop trying and escape alone

You liked hollow knight so you will like this one

[orchid spruce]

i'm honestly not sold on it, likely because i don't have that 2000s games nostalgia

[plucky stag]

Time to play some mio again

Could roll credits tonight if all goes well and my assumptions are correct

[glossy nebula]

It isnt a nostalgia game

It has very good bosses

[orchid spruce]

The footage I found said otherwise

[glossy nebula]

Your a bum

[orchid spruce]

But it's alright. I believe it's a good game, just not for me

[glossy nebula]

Try it you play medroidvania you will like it

[silk zodiac]

play inscryption instead

I hate it so much

[shadow dune]

[distant mesa]

neither did I

I played both games in the span since silksong released

peak

[shadow dune]

indeed

[distant mesa]

hadnt ever played any other (non-mobile) games

except minecraft

[shadow dune]

do you have a switch?

[distant mesa]

xbox

[shadow dune]

ah okay

[orchid spruce]

i care a lot about combat & story and the game looks lackluster in those matters

[shadow dune]

i was gonna tell you to go check out zelda given the chance

its really good

[errant rune]

Ah then I'm blind af

[glass raven]

this is some bullshit bro. oml

WHY ARE HTERE WAVES

WHY IS SHE BACK

I DIED

MY FUCKING GOD

[hybrid flare]

mfs deadass dont expect a 2nd phase for the true final boss of the game

[devout dove]

i got caught offguard okay

[distant mesa]

just found this which is funny #off-topic message

[devout dove]

2nd phases usually dont do weird new obstacles and making the boss go away so you put your guard down

[ornate latch]

hornets 100 hour quest💔

[plucky stag]

you still haven't learnt after widow and first sinner?

[barren dew]

hi

[plucky stag]

and especially last judge

[devout dove]

i havent done first sinner

[cunning geode]

makes sense, they did plan for a hornet game before hollow knight even released

good find though

[distant mesa]

ari was online so I decided to look through their messages

[cunning geode]

yeh odd he's been online lately

he was playing Kletka

[barren dew]

I was gonna ask on why did you scrolled all the way up until I remembered you can category the messages based on year

[distant mesa]

today is the first time I have seen any TC member online

and the only message I had seen was the ´no lore´ one

[ornate latch]

why are we stalking ari

[distant mesa]

sorrow sea

[hybrid flare]

i dreamt about SOS today

[distant mesa]

not that I am going to get answers

[ornate latch]

ive seen him online for the past 4 days

[hybrid flare]

Lwk had a siren boss and a third silkborn

[orchid spruce]

lmao, this one area in afterimage is like fungal wastes

afterimage area - fungal wastes

[hybrid flare]

shit was sick

[devout dove]

okay time for phase 2 again

[hybrid flare]

The achievements are also looking too similar to hk

[barren dew]

Is Ari just Air

[distant mesa]

#off-topic message lol

[hybrid flare]

and it did

a lot

[ornate latch]

and its worse

[orchid spruce]

it feels very different from hk overall so far, it's just this area has mushroom + jump pads, that's it

[flint burrow]

I take that back this game is so peak

this is like playing hollow knight for the first time

I want to know what happens next

[orchid spruce]

i'm not letting fungal wastes monopolize mushroom+jump-pads

[hybrid flare]

Ye but the achievement images

[hybrid flare]

my goat should patent it fungal is a PEAK area

[devout dove]

IM IN HELL

[orchid spruce]

but if they don't patent it, we'd have more of it

[hybrid flare]

Ye but it cant be replicated, im a hk elitist

[orchid spruce]

we should start calling metroidvanias hollowlikes

[hybrid flare]

truth nuke

[devout dove]

what was that

[orchid spruce]

ok but these enemies

afterimage

[cunning geode]

smellyfish

[orchid spruce]

it doesn't explode though

and other enemies have different ideas

[teal ridge]

Is this subnautica 2

[orchid spruce]

yues, i got early access

[teal ridge]

No way

I have no idea about subnautica

[cunning geode]
