[unkempt dirge]

no

[silk monolith]

wrong

[unkempt dirge]

HOrnet outright states to eva that she'd be a danger to her, and hornet outright is shown to be overwhelemed by gms essence

[old compass]

hornet was there to usurp, that's definitely her

[unkempt dirge]

her entire body takes the form of gms

[unkempt dirge]

no

[old compass]

if she is overwhelmed doesn't that mean all the overwhelmed stuff just exploded all over the place

[timid plinth]

i couldnt figure how to move while she's screaming

[ivory loom]

TS making me sad

[silk monolith]

kill them so fast they dont even have a chance to meet in the middle

you wont feel bad then

[unkempt dirge]

"That union could prove dangerous to my identity."

this is said to eva

With gms her entire body and form takes to the whims of gms

[old compass]

isn't that eva disappearing, not the other way around

[unkempt dirge]

withpretty heavily clear cut implied

@hybrid flare

[silk monolith]

the first scream? you cant move

pretty great no hit tho i like it

[old compass]

hornet could very much bound gms and got her nature overridden, not her entire self

[timid plinth]

i got hit twice

😭

[silk monolith]

oh lmao didnt notice my bad

[timid plinth]

i couldnt time cross stitch that well

im olding

[silk monolith]

how old are you

[timid plinth]

17

[silk monolith]

you are the youngest person ever

[timid plinth]

😭

[dusk quail]

i met someone who was born on the same exact day as me

[unkempt dirge]

well that's not true

you realize how many 14 year olds are in this palce

well Idk but I'm sure plenty

[dusk quail]

they were being sarcastic

[unkempt dirge]

and I'm a being that's autistic

[dusk quail]

same

[unkempt dirge]

neat

[silk monolith]

i used to have a classmate with the same birthday as me

[old compass]

reminder that 50% of this server is neurodivergent

[silk monolith]

first time in my life i could say same to you to a happy birthday lol

[old compass]

even if I found a classmate with the same birthday, we won't celebrate together

[silk monolith]

i cant be self diagnosing rn but me too i think

[old compass]

it's in the summer holidays

[silk monolith]

thats the best tho dude mine was always during finals

[old compass]

we won't be at school though (bummer) 💔

[dusk quail]

i was given 16 backshots by my classmates on my 16th birthday 😭

[silk monolith]

js go to their home

what

classmates? plural?

[unkempt prairie]

It's been 5 months!! Where is sea of sorrow!!?

[dusk quail]

yeah

[timid plinth]

true..

[dusk quail]

god that science class was amazing

[silk monolith]

july trust

[silk monolith]

in class?

[dusk quail]

yeah

[unkempt prairie]

HK dlc took 3 months at most

[dusk quail]

IT WASNT REAL BTW I SHOULD CLARIFY

[silk monolith]

what do you think that means twin

[terse fiber]

maybe 28th May

[unkempt dirge]

and 0% of it are straight cis females, they just don't exist, there are plenty of lesbians though

[dusk quail]

it got too big so it turned into a subnautica spin off

[unkempt dirge]

that are also neurodivergent

[devout dove]

im boutta fight first sinner

[silk monolith]

sinner i hardly know her

[old compass]

man this server sucks (I'm very homophobic)

[unkempt prairie]

The horror...

[unkempt prairie]

Nice, neat boss

[dusk quail]

♂️ ➡️ (Hollow Knight) ➡️ ♀️

[silk monolith]

oh god theres gonna be subnautica type water levels in the dlc? oh god

[silk monolith]

(celeste)

[odd hull]

You must be gay to like Hollow Knight, it's the rule

[unkempt prairie]

Was craving sea of sorrow so bad I went a found a hidden metroidvania gem called death's gambit from 2018

[unkempt dirge]

for women yes

man no, most most in the hollow knight community are straight from what I can tell

[dusk quail]

THEYRE PUTTING CHEMICALS IN OUR VIDEO GAMES

[silk monolith]

you have to be trans to beat celeste

[unkempt dirge]

I beat celeste and am not trans

[odd hull]

letsgooooo!!!

[dusk quail]

satirical again

[silk monolith]

the whole thing? not js getting to the summit

[unkempt dirge]

goddamn it

[unkempt prairie]

Wat?

[old compass]

that explains why I can't beat farewell 💔 💔 💔 💔

[silk monolith]

SAME LMAO

[odd hull]

lmaooo

[silk monolith]

farewell is kicking my ass

[unkempt dirge]

it's not that hard come on guys

[unkempt prairie]

Beat farewell? Wasn't Celeste like a platforming game? There's bosses??

[unkempt dirge]

getting over it is worse

[timid sky]

farewell is a chapter

[unkempt dirge]

it's not a boss

[odd hull]

It's a chapter (area)

[unkempt prairie]

Oh

[timid sky]

i think

[timid plinth]

no wonder i cant beat it..

[odd hull]

Is it any good?

[devout dove]

BEAT HER THIRD TRY

[old compass]

YIPPEEE

[odd hull]

who? and congratss

[old compass]

(what did you beat)

[devout dove]

first sinner

[odd hull]

Nicee

[old compass]

but then you realize how anti climatic that was

(you get the worst spell in the game)

[timid plinth]

congratss

[devout dove]

tyy!!

[rocky jolt]

recent events

[devout dove]

is witch crest worth getting

[timid plinth]

yup

[old compass]

well, you wouldn't know unless you get it first

[odd hull]

Yeah, it's fun

[devout dove]

im off to the wiki then

[old compass]

I personally don't like the witch

the lore implications already sets me back a little

maybe I'll try it sometime

as in when godhome dlc finally rolls

[stable mica]

yes cuz its 1 of the easiest crest to obtain

[ivory loom]

he didnt save me, do i save this bastard?

[old compass]

you need him for 100%

[ivory loom]

DAMN he got slapped hard

[odd hull]

someday

[rose forge]

2 minutes of corpse chat

[high sparrow]

I HATE SAVAGE BEASTFLY RAGHHHHHHHHH

[cerulean sable]

GMS 2nd phase should pull out pistols akimbo and start unloading at Hornet

you can skip SVB

it is an optional area/boss

its like DS1 skeleton graveyard path again

[crimson ember]

Zomboss needs to use his powers more often ngl we need more dev teams exposed for the bad they do

[ivory loom]

bruh i got jumped 😭 . insta alt f4ed

[odd hull]

The goat

[odd hull]

Zweihander isn't optional

[cerulean sable]

pry my fucking longsword out of my cold dead hands

[devout dove]

what am i gonna do without my compass. why have you done this to me. why cursed crest.

[stable mica]

ur veins r now flowing with curse energy

[odd hull]

Yep, you gotta beat the game like this now

[devout dove]

HELL no

[odd hull]

Hell yes

[stable mica]

Heaven yes

[teal ridge]

Memorize the map

[stable mica]

y chat dead

[teal ridge]

There are people memorizing like one thousand digits of pi. Their brain have no difference than yours.

[odd hull]

We have better games to play /j

[teal ridge]

So you can memorize the silksong map

[stable mica]

yeah, play roblox?

[odd hull]

Nah

[cerulean sable]

we can discuss Stalker factions instead

anyway

Hornet - Loner
Shakra - Loner
Flea Caravan - Loners
Sherma - Loner / Ecologist
Nuu - Ecologist
Garmond and Zaza - Freedom
Lace and Choir - Monolith
Grindle and Co - Bandits
Karmelita/Skarr - Duty
Groal/Stillkin - Freedom
Khann/Karak - Military
Zango/Xylotol - Ecologists

feel free to disagree

[versed pollen]

What the hell is a stalker faction

[versed pollen]

Oh my goodness super autism

[cerulean sable]

Grindle is defo either Bandit or Renegade

[ivory loom]

now who tf would break this

[versed pollen]

Very aesthetic red border

[hybrid flare]

Yeah

The nature is something that defines a bug though, hornet can subdue the crests but not the overwhelming will of gms

[ivory loom]

lmao, i like this guy 😭

[cerulean sable]

destroy the icon of the false idol...

[bright void]

is hornet silksonmg?

[silk monolith]

evil people

in my last save skull tyrant 2 never showed up

[tired oyster]

some propensities for various topics can actually be inherent to individual brains or to how one was raised

that's kinda a whole thing with human brains is that they are in fact quite different from one another

and some people just have a bad sense of direction

[delicate temple]

I refused to break that even when I absolutely needed the bone scraps

Whomever breaks the statue is pure evil incarnate

They make Michael Myers look like a sweetheart

[static falcon]

a group of skeletons is called a massacre

[charred tiger]

lie

[static falcon]

oh guess I’m evil now

[charred tiger]

evil

[delicate temple]

Yes you are

[static falcon]

[delicate temple]

I hope you are forced to play the entire game cursed due to a random bug

[cerulean sable]

i hope they redo wanderer crit mechanics

OMFG MR BEASTTT

i cant ping the fucking

[whole moon]

Desperate circumstances lead to desperate actions

[odd hull]

What do you want them to change

[delicate temple]

I just adapted and never broke it

[whole moon]

AW YEAH

[delicate temple]

I’d rather die than break it

[whole moon]

I forgot why I broke them

[delicate temple]

I was on lost lace when I refused to break it

If I did break it I’d have beat the fight way sooner

But no I refused

[static falcon]

I broke it for extra shards

[delicate temple]

die die die

[zinc rose]

Okay

[worldly quartz]

(and second sentinel but i found him by accident)

[cyan pewter]

[worldly quartz]

yea

[zinc rose]

[worldly quartz]

i kinda forgot that happened on monday

it was like 2 days ago

[zinc rose]

I think I'll get the secret bench and upgrade my crafting kit and then go for him

[worldly quartz]

oh yeah i had maxed out tool damage too

i used cogflys

for yellow tools mag dice, weightbelt and smth else

[gusty urchin]

on my 2nd playthrough and just remembered the existance of this individual

[worldly quartz]

wher

i never seen that guy

im in act 3 am i late?

[zinc rose]

Thanks

[plucky stag]

the prisoner who doesn't mind?

[gusty urchin]

he shows up if you play needolin in a specific room in the slab

[worldly quartz]

how am i supposed to find this out

[plucky stag]

anyway, i have this to share re: my mio progress tonight

[worldly quartz]

like lowk i got most of the stuff i have through yt

[plucky stag]

i have just been putting every ounce of energy i have into my (probably impossible at this point) goal

[gusty urchin]

you can hear him grumble in the bg when you're inside the room

[worldly quartz]

oh yeah i play with sound off

makes sense

[gusty urchin]

oh

anyway hes right here

[worldly quartz]

okay

but is he alive in act 3?

[plucky stag]

(mio endgame) ||i finally defeated vlad after 3 hours||

[gusty urchin]

there's an entrance there

[worldly quartz]

bc everyone are dead

[gusty urchin]

no clue

[worldly quartz]

even pavo is dihpressed

poor bro

[plucky stag]

i then ||alternated between friends and sol and vin|| but didn't defeat them

[worldly quartz]

im not gonna say it

the number

[plucky stag]

but i did make some big progress on this; ||i have pbs around 80% for both bosses||

[plucky stag]

it technically rounds up to 68

[worldly quartz]

what is he on abt

[plucky stag]

27/40 = 0.675 -> rounds to 0.68

[worldly quartz]

okay

[fiery burrow]

67 wowza

[plucky stag]

i just had to stop because it's getting late now

[fiery burrow]

gg

[plucky stag]

physical fatigue kicked in

[gusty urchin]

oh and btw
do you have the silk skill Rune Rage? It also requires finding a secret to get

[plucky stag]

thank you; i am hoping to god i pull this off

[worldly quartz]

i do

[plucky stag]

there are probably only 2 more sessions left before time runs out

[fiery burrow]

when is s2 dropping

[gusty urchin]

ok
the boss you gotta kill for it is so fun lk

[plucky stag]

maybe 3 but i'm not counting on it

[plucky stag]

22 hours and 10 minutes

[fiery burrow]

daang gl

[worldly quartz]

first sinner is one of my favourites bc when the fight started i was alive for a solid 80 secs

[plucky stag]

and in my time zone, that's today (11pm; it is almost 1am now here)

[worldly quartz]

yeaaaah fr i was so locked in

[plucky stag]

but i do have an exception; if i am very close to defeating mio's true final boss (||shii||), i'll delay the start of my s2 playthrough by a day and try them again on friday morning

[worldly quartz]

the only thing i didnt like is that fractured mask doesnt work

but its okay

[gusty urchin]

why does the marrow have a bellway
like what pharloom citizen would ever need to take that bellway 😭

[exotic cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/royalrodents-gif-3304031978827581911

[worldly quartz]

some poor guy who got lost

or for pilgrims to visit moss area to the left

bc there's no bellway

[plucky stag]

given i had to stop just short of defeating ||sol and vin|| as well as ||friends :)||, i bet i beat them both within an hour next session

i was limited by physical fatigue because it's getting late

[blazing zephyr]

GUYS I DEFEATED WIDOW ON MOBILE

[dusk quail]

you should be yourself NOW

[worldly quartz]

ayyy congrats bro

[dusk quail]

btw my walking pace is permanently tied to the beat of her OST
fucking love it

[worldly quartz]

gimme a high-five im playing on mobile too!!

[gusty urchin]

widow as in the sk boss? you can play sk on mobile?!?!?!?!

[blazing zephyr]

I finally got someone who play on mobile

[dusk quail]

some people ported the game over, same with HK which skurry played on stream IIRC

[blazing zephyr]

Yes

[gusty urchin]

oh i see

[plucky stag]

just been piling up the hours on mio; i'm now on 52

[gusty urchin]

ok

[worldly quartz]

yeaa bro its me the one and only hollo night slikthong smartphone vivo 32 edition 20 fps

[blazing zephyr]

Do you want a screenshot?

[worldly quartz]

gimme i wonder what emulator u use

[blazing zephyr]

🙂

[worldly quartz]

what if u use the same i do

[blazing zephyr]

I don't use emulator

[worldly quartz]

well not emulator but

the uhh version

i can see it from how buttons look

[blazing zephyr]

Yea

[worldly quartz]

just dont spoil the name of the site you downloaded from or you might get banned

[plucky stag]

the last time i poured this much time into a video game on a daily basis was silksong

i clocked in 6 hours today for mio

[worldly quartz]

uhh dude if you want to talk abt mio go to off-topic i think thats what that channel is for

how is mio related to silksong

[blazing zephyr]

I can't send a screenshot:(

[worldly quartz]

aw man

[odd hull]

goddamn

[fiery burrow]

the mio obsession was crazy on god

this is like 4ish playthroughs iirc

[blazing zephyr]

Where to go after killing widow?

[dusk quail]

down the elevator

[worldly quartz]

back to bellhart

[fiery burrow]

explore more shellwood

[blazing zephyr]

Ok

[worldly quartz]

everyone will be whimsy and joyous

[plucky stag]

except this is driven purely by sheer determination (or stubbornness at this point tbh) to finish the game before another one comes out

[fiery burrow]

you can now also backtrack to a few locations

[plucky stag]

nobody is forcing me to do this; i guess i am just a masochist in a way

[worldly quartz]

GO TO BELLHART NOT SHELLWOOD

[odd hull]

I have only been playing short games lately. Around 10h and such

[worldly quartz]

sry for caps

[blazing zephyr]

Really?

[worldly quartz]

YES

[odd hull]

lol good luck on that

[worldly quartz]

ok bye evryoned

[plucky stag]

i have been doing my best (and by "my best" i mean literally putting every ounce of energy into maximizing my mio hours)

[blazing zephyr]

Ok byee

[plucky stag]

but maybe this is a case of quantity over quality where i keep playing even past the point where i am fatigued

so maybe every session i end with 1 unproductive hour that doesn't get much done

[odd hull]

like, you stop having much fun?

[plucky stag]

i am having fun the whole time, it's just that it's physically taxing too

[still osprey]

(SILKSONGDLE) I'm crazy actually

[odd hull]

silk what

[plucky stag]

@exotic cedar can wood stop biome spread?

I've been thinking either wood or stone bricks

[exotic cedar]

Yeah wood can stop it

[icy crow]

I might aswell separate the biomes in nice rectangles and do more separate chunks underground so I can have easier access around my world

Will it look tunneled all over my map? Yes

Will it be sufficient for purification? Also yes

Just hope the V strip does not affect already built towns

[exotic cedar]

That'd be nice

[icy crow]

Wood or stone bricks?

Actually, maybe office blocks

gatekeep it from the hk fandom

[full rune]

silksong in the silksong channel?!

[silk monolith]

7.6k chuds

[hybrid flare]

too late i play mio

[glacial bane]

@humble surge its for the pale automation right? I kinda missed out on some of your posts

[silk monolith]

i stopped playing mio cause idk what to do

[fiery burrow]

you don't engage with it in a sophisticated enough way

poser

[hybrid flare]

Well you dont really know that cuz i keep it away from larpers like you

[fiery burrow]

show me your mio hours twin

[hybrid flare]

Once i replay it for 30 times ill do dw

less mio hours than sk hours pack it up star

[fiery burrow]

TRUE

[heady iron]

Is 12.1 hours normal for the regular ending

[hybrid flare]

yeah

[torpid swift]

PEAK

[hybrid flare]

A bit quick but yeah go and explore

[silk monolith]

im the poser lmao

[torpid swift]

I platinumed mio already

[silk monolith]

im nowhere near the end

[timid sky]

thats really close to what i have
but half of mine came out of nowhere bc my main save where i got every achievement says 25 or 30 hr

[fiery burrow]

I haven't platinumed it but that's cuz if I like a game I don't really look stuff up

[timid sky]

I idled in menu a lot without closing the game

[heady iron]

I did kinda speed through

[torpid swift]

||Vlad is second best boss to anra||

[hybrid flare]

you're getting executed

[timid sky]

electric chair

There is barely anything entertaining about baron

[torpid swift]

don't kill me pls [major MIO spoilers]

[heady iron]

Damn all the bosses are worse than ||Anra||? Guess there's no point in playing anymore

[timid sky]

It's so full of rng you have to get lucky to survive

[torpid swift]

no it's just personal opinion honestly

[timid sky]

And not having a consistent source of energy sucks ass

[torpid swift]

I like a boss that no one likes

so that's that

[timid sky]

What's wrong with engraver?

[heady iron]

People hate that one?

It was prob my favorite thus far

[torpid swift]

which one was engraver

[midnight jasper]

i wanna play mio

[timid sky]

||acat nacre engraver||

Fun boss with banger ost

[torpid swift]

ohh

[hybrid flare]

Nah straight up fuck you what is this

[timid sky]

What more could you want

[torpid swift]

yeah he is good but he gets overshadowed. It was kind of early-mid so it isn't exactly as memorable

sometimes MIO's bossfight is too good that I didn't get to focus on the ost

[toxic vigil]

Helllllllllllllllo!!!

[restive sluice]

Did I lose out on any interesting interaction by getting Everbloom before Shaman Crest? Would have liked to see what the shamans have to say.

[toxic vigil]

its like 3 lines

[torpid swift]

Also uh I messed up or idk I changed my mind egis and the other one should've been in d instead

[round creek]

I wonder if any vessels wandered all the way to pharloom

[timid sky]

They do have dialogue when you get it but i don't remember it being too spicy

[toxic vigil]

" did you just steal a corpse " " yeah " " okay i fucking guess "

[torpid swift]

My mio playtime is 1.4 days

I'm all squared up waiting for sea of sorrow...and by then I'll finally renew my gamepass

[timid sky]

mio boss tierlist

[hybrid flare]

W sun and violet in S

[fiery burrow]

I love ||Atmos||

[hybrid flare]

You don't

Literally the most unlovable boss ever

[sharp slate]

mio spoilers || i honestly dont get how people enjoy sol & vin the fact that they just basically two shot ya is boring as fuck, boss is trivial once you get past that weird part of the fight||

[hybrid flare]

Best fight in the game btw

[sharp slate]

i have learned mio players have bad taste ||moveset is so simple, i'd probably put 50% of bosses above them at least||

[hybrid flare]

The 2 shot mechanic keeps you on edge and the boss is super dynamic as it actually forces you to go aerial

[timid sky]

Goated track and probably the best in the ost
Their attacks are punishing but pretty simple to learn
They were kinda annoying when i was practicing them but i genuinely locked in and finally thought of using ||shairpin|| on my winning attempt

[fiery burrow]

||the two shot mechanic is a tutorial for negative mods||

[timid sky]

Exactly

[fiery burrow]

the more I play mio the less I'm sure that they're in the top 3 but I quite liked them

[sharp slate]

mio spoilers ||aerial portion of the fight is easy as hell though, didnt die to it once, whole challenge of the fight was just living long enough to learn moveset which they do entire fight||

[fiery burrow]

but they're really solid

[timid sky]

You can put on every expanding mod (well almost every) and the fight doesn't become much harder with debuffs

[torpid swift]

I planned to put poltergates higher I thought people are gonna hate it if I put it up 💔

[hybrid flare]

that's like the single hardest part of the fight and oh my god you learnt the moveset of the boss... AND YOU WON??? no fucking way

[sharp slate]

Yea but its just feels like a cheap way to do difficulty

[fiery burrow]

no gates is great

[sharp slate]

its not satisfying

[hybrid flare]

Their moveset is simple but punishing

[timid sky]

And you can get a ton of good mods that trivialise the fight

[hybrid flare]

That's uh, completely fair

[torpid swift]

TRUE ITS JSUT LIKE MARKOTH

[sharp slate]

its punishing because you instantly die

[torpid swift]

I kind of enjoyed the first few parts of the fight

[hybrid flare]

Fr 2doors is a really good duo fight

[torpid swift]

That's why I enjoyed vlad

[sharp slate]

Though mio spoilers ||This is probably why i dont rate mio bosses high overall for the most part because all their difficulty is just about survivng long enough, its not about the actually fight||

[hybrid flare]

But it's simple and straightforward, having also quite a few albeit very readable mixups

[sharp slate]

The only actual complex fight mio LATE GAME spoilers ||was shii imo||

[torpid swift]

I do rank mio based on enjoyability

[fiery burrow]

wym

[hybrid flare]

Mio bosses were fun

[timid sky]

I like harry dresden abuse victim
The fact that they do a slow walk of shame when you beat them is pretty funny

[torpid swift]

they were ok.. I think they're still within my top 3

[timid sky]

||Ati|| is complex

I think

[torpid swift]

nope not really

you just gotta strider up the arena and you sirvive

the only problem with Ati is her small hitbox tbh

[fiery burrow]

||yeah both final bosses are the highlights imo||

[sharp slate]

Imo ||MIO bosses are insanely simplistic, and any difficulty just comes from just surviving more than actual difficulty imo, your main limit is health, there isnt really true challenge imo||

obviously thats by design but i just dont like it

we all have our preferences, mio has a unique take on difficulty where its health thats the limiter and i dont like that

[torpid swift]

health as the limit can be a pain in the ass soemtimes yeah

especially on the platforming

[hybrid flare]

Because the hp system in mio is dogshit and you gotta play aggro

[sharp slate]

for example NS is punishing as fuck if you get hit but you have recovery

[fiery burrow]

I think the average MIO boss is more interesting to dodge and squeeze out damage than HK or SS tbh

[hybrid flare]

Eeeeeeh

[sharp slate]

not really, you just need to learn the movset

[torpid swift]

but nonetheless it's still a very enjoyable game, I love it. No one is wrong in terms of preferences

[sharp slate]

i played insanely passive in my first playthrough of mio and didnt die much at all

[hybrid flare]

Silksong has many tools to work around with but it has quite a few stinkers

[fiery burrow]

(mio final boss spoilers) my goat ||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF6wefuVBE4||

[torpid swift]

Id still rank mio above silksong personally

[hybrid flare]

This works for about every game btw

[fiery burrow]

MIO combat without dodge is kinda fun asf

[sharp slate]

mechanics wise hell no, storywise yes

[eternal berry]

gms claw swipe genuinely makes me wanna shoot myself

[torpid swift]

yeah that's one of the highlights

[fiery burrow]

MIO map is way better than SS its like not even close

[sharp slate]

Yea but its different degrees though

[hybrid flare]

nuh uh

[torpid swift]

the fights were pretty fun and enjoyable that I forgot to listen to the ost

[fiery burrow]

Silksong combat is probably a bit better

[hybrid flare]

Most regions arent that memorable tbf but it does have highlights

[fiery burrow]

MIO ofc mogs platforming SS platforming is laaame and not really the focus

[torpid swift]

I have a love hate relationship with mio platforming

[hybrid flare]

Ss platforming is good but mio's platforming is js the best aspect of it

[sharp slate]

eh disagree

[hybrid flare]

We ALL love godzilla parkour

[timid sky]

Not having a combat heal in mio sucks ass
Ground heal saves everyone

[sharp slate]

i liked mios platforming but i think it was overhyped, it was good, but people made me think it was gonna be like some celeste level shit

[fiery burrow]

I mean HK and SS have better highlights

[torpid swift]

I think the boss you fight when you wanna save the shopkeeper is where you truly gain the fun of using dodge for the first time

[fiery burrow]

But MIO is more like a quality over quantity thing for me in terms of bosses ykwim

[torpid swift]

or maybe lombre idk about it

[static sluice]

Am getting a pc soon
Is it ethical to pirate silksong because i ALREADY bought it in my ps4 and have 134h in or do i bite the bullet

[timid sky]

But i tend to forget to ground heal and when i realise i didn't i just go "WHERE THE HECK IS MY GROUND HEAL"

[hybrid flare]

No it is def that good but in some sections it doesnt feel that involved

[static sluice]

Actually ama bite the bullet its only like 10$ there

[timid sky]

Mio platforming is good most of the time

[torpid swift]

Ground heal saved my ass in the crucible

[sharp slate]

can always grab it when it goes on sale, should go on sale in summer in theory

[hybrid flare]

Especially in areas like passage and crucifiction

[fiery burrow]

no metroidvania is ever gonna touch celeste

[eternal berry]

I FUCKING HATE GMS

CLAW SWIPE IS SUCH A BULLSHIT MOVE ISTG

[timid sky]

But then they give you a stupid platforming section for a completely optional core or mediocre mod

[sharp slate]

celeste is one of those games that does near perfect one specific thing and thats it

[hybrid flare]

Mid game lwk

[fiery burrow]

yeah

[torpid swift]

that's the problem with playing games tbh. Sometimes hype is a problem. I played games completely blind and enjoyed it so much

[vale whale]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1289440085741277298/1310987915173826703/ezgif-5-4b816427c1.gif

[sharp slate]

problem with metroidvanias is theres quite a bit you have to design around as well, so they will never be good at one specific thing imo

[hybrid flare]

MIO is great at one specific thing and then it ranges from good to bad in the rest

[torpid swift]

I genuinely played MIO just because I found it on the gamepass not expecting some good quality shit. And oh my goodness

[timid sky]

||Talking about canopy overseer old core and the modifier you get in upper metropolis with red plants||

[fiery burrow]

I played metroidvanias for the map design and I think that's their greatest strength

[timid sky]

I played mio because i saw people talking about it here

[torpid swift]

The wind platformer in metropolis..

[hybrid flare]

I played mio to prove a point

[sharp slate]

Highest rated thing i have in MIO is the story, though exploration is good, i kinda hate metroidvanias that hide stuff in obscure places skong included

[timid sky]

Which one

[sharp slate]

i dont want to to run around for 3 hours bashing my head into corners to find 1 tool or mod for example

[hybrid flare]

Eeeeh, the story is good but some parts of it are sort of alright, the best part of MIO is BY FAR the platforming

[fiery burrow]

I need to hop back on celeste

[eternal berry]

CLAW SWIPE IS MAKING ME WANT TO QUIT THIS FUCKING GAME

[vale whale]

every day i pray mio gets deleted

[torpid swift]

idk how to explain it...nvm

[timid sky]

I played celeste for one hour, got pissed off and refunded

[sharp slate]

platforming imo has the best complexity/difficulty of a metroidvania i played, but funnily enough i enjoy silksongs movement more

[fiery burrow]

almost one year clean 🥹

[torpid swift]

okay we just sayin shit now

[timid sky]

It's pretty easy to dodge

[torpid swift]

where the fuck did that come from

[hybrid flare]

Valid

In movement ofc sk mogs

[eternal berry]

no its fucking not

[timid sky]

Just sprint in the other side when she prepares for it

[eternal berry]

inconsistent ass hitbox

[eternal berry]

thats just plain wrong

[torpid swift]

I enjoyed strider boosting in mio

[timid sky]

Worked for me whenever i fought her

[sharp slate]

claw swipe is probably most annoying move from GMS imo

[fiery burrow]

MIO platforming ❤️

[tender grove]

RAM crisis has hit Pharloom

[eternal berry]

the hitbox is horrible and the nails also just guard the top edge

[timid sky]

Imo it's webs

[hybrid flare]

Top 3 experiences in the game btw

[torpid swift]

I know it's a niche mechanic soemtimes but it's satisfying

[fiery burrow]

on god

[hybrid flare]

John long is js so fun

[timid sky]

You don't pogo the proximity bombs?

[torpid swift]

..you downslash

Pogo

[sharp slate]

you got to be really prepared to react to the nails right away, i do a single jump and then get ready for the nails

[tender grove]

A 2026 thin and light laptop now costs around 120 thousand rosaries

[hybrid flare]

shit thats twice than 2025

[tender grove]

This is insane. Pilgrim buying power is at a historic low

[vale whale]

this reminds me bday in 5 days who excited

[fiery burrow]

I don't pogo that much in MIO there's just not really a benefit to it

[hybrid flare]

Which is a big shame

[eternal berry]

wait also i should mention that im doing twisted child ending

[hybrid flare]

but it did help me to gain altitude in SnV so props

[fiery burrow]

It doesn't really matter cuz regular slashes do the same thing

[torpid swift]

Isn't that the highlight for snv

[hybrid flare]

nah pogo lwk bounces you up a bit

[torpid swift]

where you have to pogo nonstop on the thing

[fiery burrow]

Yeah pogos still have some utility

[torpid swift]

definitely drives you faster rather than simply hitting and dodging

[hybrid flare]

Pogoing specifically on the energy shards

[eternal berry]

also the horizontal nails on gms are so obnoxious

ESPECIALLY once she starts debris raining so you can't clawline ever

[sharp slate]

good luck you got this

[fiery burrow]

||sawlong with no glide and harvester|| gets serious

[timid sky]

How did you strider up the saws

[fiery burrow]

They grabbed onto some surfaces behind or below it or something idrk

[torpid swift]

Dodge to buy time and strider or idk

[tender grove]

Can't wait for the kill Pavo DLC

[eternal berry]

also what happened to silksong game discussion

[sharp slate]

tempted to go through my mio recordings and see how many deaths i had to bosses tbh i got like 10 minutes hmmm

[timid sky]

This is mio discussion

[torpid swift]

I think everyone struggles only because of wrong modifier sets

[timid sky]

Silksong is dead

[torpid swift]

I forgot what I used mine but it slaps

[sharp slate]

People refuse to discuss silksong here because... idk

[fiery burrow]

this your goat?

[torpid swift]

I think I use shairpin

[sharp slate]

they cant read channel names

I usually try to link my mio or other game discussion back to skong, but no one else does

[torpid swift]

because umm idk silksojg has their own server

[timid sky]

I have a list of roughly how much attempts every boss took me on first playthrough

[tender grove]

Is the Threefold Melody the Silksong?

[patent warren]

Red tools are good

[sharp slate]

this is the official server...

[patent warren]

I know that and yet i basically never use them

[torpid swift]

mm..

[patent warren]

Except for crow father

[eternal berry]

no the silksong is obviously that bug in the red cloak

[eternal berry]

that you play as

[tender grove]

My toxic trait is I view them as a crutch and hate the idea of running out of shard fragments so I use them only very very rarely

[eternal berry]

just like how you played as the hollow knight in hollow knight

[patent warren]

God they would've helped so so much against Savage best fly

[tender grove]

Ah, yes. Hornet Silksong.

[sharp slate]

yea, i used them a bit in my first playthrough but usually i stuck to same stuff didnt vary it too much

[patent warren]

I only ever use them with boss that give me real problems

[fiery burrow]

||Nabuu|| really stumped me on my first playthrough and then I totally melted him on a second

[restive sluice]

When I think about it, I think there's pretty much nothing about act 3 that I enjoyed 🙁

[fiery burrow]

Then abilityless took foreever

[timid sky]

Same here

[patent warren]

For now my favorite tools are cogfly and Sting shard

[fiery burrow]

you and me both twin 🥀

[eternal berry]

SHAW YOURSELF YOU FUCKING CLAW SWIPE SPAMMING PIECE OF SILK

[fiery burrow]

well I liked coral tower and karmelita and seth

[timid sky]

This is all with ground heal
It would probably take me infinitely more times without

[restive sluice]

doing tormented trobbio now and it's just more BS where I have no idea wtf is going on and the entire screen is full of graphical effects and seemingly random hurtboxes

lost lace wasn't too bad to be honest

[fiery burrow]

does ground heal actually have combat applications

[timid sky]

I can definitely beat pearltrap and embedders without ground heal as i've done them hitless

[toxic vigil]

Is it rhat bad

[torpid swift]

you can't imagine how hard I struggled with friends

[restive sluice]

it's like a bad LSD trip (I imagine)

[timid sky]

Get hit in a boss, wait a bit to heal, you can stay alive for longer

[torpid swift]

it's like a high risk situation but it's always worth it to turn on

[tender grove]

why did Hornet Silksong have contact damage in Hollow Knight 1 but not 2? did her skin pH go back to normal?

[fringe mountain]

Moorwing

[timid sky]

What

[fringe mountain]

It basically can’t attack you if you’re on the ground besides one attack so a ground heal is useful

[torpid swift]

I don't think moorwinf is in mio

[fringe mountain]

Oh

[torpid swift]

just a thought guys.. maybe it is

[fringe mountain]

This is about mio?

[restive sluice]

I think the only part of a3 that I enjoyed somewhat was the coral tower because it was challenging and interesting but not too difficult. Beat it first try. On the other hand, Verdania was a huge drag, Karmelita was way too difficult, the plant lady whose name I forgot was kinda ez (though the guardian before that was interesting I guess) and... yea overall most battles are just frustrating, and so is navigating the map because all the void stuff is annoying.

[fringe mountain]

Mb guys

[torpid swift]

dwdw

[timid sky]

Grim reaper is kinda like moorwing

[fringe mountain]

Shamans poured NaOH over her

[hybrid flare]

God forbid a lategame boss forces you to adapt

[torpid swift]

mm

[tender grove]

oh so THAT'S what she says when she's at Yarnaby's door...

[timid sky]

What does sodium hydroxide do to hornet

Surely she's not made of hydrochloric acid

[fringe mountain]

Neutralises her acidic skin

[timid sky]

They can't turn her into table salt and water

[fringe mountain]

Nooo her outer shell is coated in sulphuric acid

[restive sluice]

I'll be honest I could have probably made Karmelita much easier by not being stupid and forgetting that RED TOOLS EXIST

[ripe skiff]

Finally

I have beaten karmelita

[fringe mountain]

That’s why she was getting period cramps at the start of the game all the salt on her body was hurting her

[restive sluice]

Coulda just thrown some tacks on the ground and made the battle last half as long I guess

[drifting badger]

What if kratt called hornet a foid

[sharp slate]

Major MIO SPOILERS My rough list for boss attempts

[restive sluice]

bugs aren't mammals

[drifting badger]

Oh yo real quick, how do you get image perms here

[sharp slate]

i think a3 bosses get overhated tbh, some relaly good ones

[fringe mountain]

It’s a joke where the most searched thing about silksong for a while was “why does hornet get period cramps”

[restive sluice]

lmao

[torpid swift]

I get the ||sol vin|| hate but...below friends?

[tender grove]

yap

[sharp slate]

read.... the catagories... or text

[tender grove]

you gotta yap until you get them

[toxic vigil]

seth, karmelita, nyleth,

[tender grove]

I am also yapping until I get them. And then I can post my pro-Beast crest propaganda

[torpid swift]

Oh mb it's almost 2 here my eyes aren't open 💔

[ripe skiff]

You gotta send 350 messgaes tyen tell a mod

[torpid swift]

Wrong ping pk

[drifting badger]

Manually?

[sharp slate]

i think pinstress is decent, khann is good, easy but good

[ripe skiff]

Thats what i did

[toxic vigil]

pinstress is terrible

[hybrid flare]

I got my ass kicked by some MIO bosses but thats cuz i beat the entire game without dmg upgrades

[sharp slate]

khann just needs a longer phase 3

[torpid swift]

khann is easy. I struggled with pinstress

[toxic vigil]

its like shitty 2nd sentinel

[sharp slate]

Same, i only had like 1 damage upgrade entire game, 2 near the end

[pallid sleet]

ive been stuck on groal for 4 days

[drifting badger]

I’ve got like 1000+ cause I’ve been here for years so I guess all just ask one?

[torpid swift]

2nd sentinel + whatever the hell the primal aspid got

[sharp slate]

clover dancers i wish was more unique, but okay boss

zango is the only horrible boss a3 imo

pinstress is polarizing though obviously

[exotic cedar]

Palestag is kinda boring

[tender grove]

Plasmified Zango top 3 hardest bosses in the game but the soundtrack was amazing

[sharp slate]

i really like pale stag, idk why

[fringe mountain]

I died to lost Garamond more than lost lace

[torpid swift]

y'know, I got 3 of the bear upgrade I think? At the end of the final final boss.

I enjoy exploration more honestly

beautiful visuals are my favorite

[toxic vigil]

plaestag sucks

[fringe mountain]

Be nasty just keep harpooning at him that worked for me

[torpid swift]

i try my best to not go to the normal path all the time in most games

[silk monolith]

tool spam groal

[tender grove]

You can beat Groal by staying in the muckmaggot water too

[torpid swift]

the evil way I did: just let yourself be drench in the maggot waters and just cheese groal with reaper from underneath

[tender grove]

It's not 100% easy but if you fall a lot, it can be easier

[sharp slate]

Have you considered lily pad strats though pretty peak

[restive sluice]

ah well trobbio was OK after all I changed my mind

[torpid swift]

I couldn't deal with whatever groals got

[restive sluice]

NOW THAT I BEAT HIM IT'S OK

[silk monolith]

lmao amazing

[toxic vigil]

my boss tierlist

[sharp slate]

Oh yea trobbi 2 in act 3 also peak

[restive sluice]

me when I die to enemies: wow this game is trash the design is horrible it's simply unfair and the enemy damage is BS
me after I beat the enemies: GotY

[silk monolith]

trobbio 2 gives you ourple quill so hes automatically peak even before the fight starts

[sharp slate]

If they removed the arena from unraveled it would be so much higher for me

[silk monolith]

i wonder how they gonna do radiant unraveled

[restive sluice]

you know what would be a mean trick to make people less mad? put in a difficulty setting. if that existed, I'd play on the hardest setting anyway because I'm a tryhard, but then I'd only have myself to blame and it would feel like more of an accomplishment

[sturdy trellis]

more unravelled glaze holy please keep cooking

[restive sluice]

unravelled was lowkey ez IMO and I didn't even use tacks against him(? it? whatever)

[sturdy trellis]

ah also ash i think you should be aware that the > actually means that the left one is greater, not the other way around

[sharp slate]

So like pale stag > LL

😎

[sturdy trellis]

unfortunately that was annoyingly effective as bait

i concede

[toxic vigil]

annoying as hell tho

can someone do better than me

[exotic cedar]

Unravelled is overrated...

[sturdy trellis]

ok another matter though, i've seen ppl talk about mio, you recommend that or nah

[sharp slate]

The more I fight bosses the lower LL gets on my tier list

[sturdy trellis]

idk what you're doing in that fight man

like sure it has the giga downtime but besides that

[hybrid flare]

TRUE, still mid S tier

[sharp slate]

I recommend it, I would go in blind. Its a different type of difficulty though then other metroidvanias

[fiery coral]

Hello

[hybrid flare]

And best boss in the series overall

[toxic vigil]

i think that l2 is just a better fight than ll
sure ll is harder but l2 is a better boss

[hybrid flare]

Nah imo nah

[sturdy trellis]

l2 has the issue that there's phase 1

that phase is just somewhat bad vibes to me

[sharp slate]

Fair lol god I l2 is climbing so much higher on my list

[sturdy trellis]

oh still amazing fight though yea

[drifting badger]

I gotta replay the game at some point

[sturdy trellis]

but like honestly the fights just play quite differently

[fiery coral]

Oh hey @sharp slate! I think I recognise you haha

[drifting badger]

Mostly cause I missed out on fighting Shakra and Garmond

[sturdy trellis]

the way you have to manage space and stuff is quite different between the fights

[fiery burrow]

UNIQUE?

[sharp slate]

I vibe here alot

[drifting badger]

Bro recognizes

[fiery coral]

Star!

[fiery burrow]

wsg

[drifting badger]

happy reunion in chat

[timid sky]

Wtf

[sharp slate]

Definitely, I like that aspect alot

[fiery coral]

I don't know/recall what wsg means but hello!

[sturdy trellis]

unfortunately i dont really have any fights that ash giga glazes that i dont

[fiery coral]

How're you doing? Been such a long time

[drifting badger]

What’s good

[sturdy trellis]

like idk karm is still a great boss

[hybrid flare]

Both ll and lace 2 test your combat dexterity and your movement in different ways, ll being stricter

[sharp slate]

Doing fine trying to get ready for work and still talk on discord at same time lol

[sturdy trellis]

maybe i just have more positivity in my soul ❤️

[sharp slate]

And drag my cat out of the cupboard now

[drifting badger]

I like LL’s chaotic moveset I think it’s fun to work around

[fiery burrow]

means 'what's good'
i've been doing well

[drifting badger]

Especially once you learn how to bait her attacks

[sturdy trellis]

i will do 1 hour ll coaching session with ash and then he too will see the light

[hybrid flare]

Yeah she sort of zones you but giving you a lot of space to move at the same time, you just gotta know how to manage it

[sharp slate]

Karm is close to my #1 I have a hard time picking a favorite tbh

[unkempt steeple]

I don't want a whole lace game but it'd acctually be super cool if added her a secondary character in silksong (maybe only in specific scenarios)

[sharp slate]

Karm, second sent or seth

[hybrid flare]

yeah these ll haters dont get it

[fiery burrow]

Widow is the sleeper pick for best boss

[sturdy trellis]

widow is pretty sick yea

[hybrid flare]

widow > fs

[unkempt steeple]

Imagine if she still has a little void inside her and that's basically her version of soul/silk (since she can't use silk)

[fiery coral]

Happy to hear are most old regulars gone by now? Briefly looked through some other channels but don't really recognise anyone, ha

[sturdy trellis]

i think it's a bit sad that you have to be as defensive as you do for her phase 2 but maybe this is me not labbing aggressive strats enough

[sharp slate]

Widow is solid crazy how much she holds up for hitless shit as well, hard hitless boss

[fiery burrow]

it'd be first sinner but that was my last boss and I had already beaten the game

[fiery coral]

First Sinner is my favourite, Widow 2nd

[sturdy trellis]

unfortunately fs deserves most of the glaze she gets

the boss just holds up it's quite surprising

[hybrid flare]

Widow is lwk peak

[sturdy trellis]

you'd think it'd just be nkg

[unkempt steeple]

I love widow

[fiery burrow]

there are some old #hk-lore and #hk-discussion regulars around not as many #ss-disc regulars though

[fiery coral]

It's been a long time since I played and those two are among the very few I remember still

[hybrid flare]

Imo fs's teleports get quite frustrating and it feels like you're just forced to use clawline in some spots and that's why widow is better

Plus the bouncing bells add depths to her fight

[sturdy trellis]

clawline in fs

[hybrid flare]

Or yk, running attack and spells

[sturdy trellis]

the big overlaps are what makes fs a fight that holds up imo

[fiery coral]

[sturdy trellis]

like there's an actual threat you have to be wary of

that's a good boss and what bosses like nkg pv are often missing

[hybrid flare]

Like in most fights yeah

[sharp slate]

Damn that's the bait I need in my username

[hybrid flare]

Pv and nkg have the looming threat of appearing and stuff

[torpid swift]

come to think of it I think I beat fs on my second attempt

[sharp slate]

There we go

[torpid swift]

she was so fun

[sturdy trellis]

pv and nkg have the looming threat that i might just fall asleep mid fight

ok slight exaggeration but they dont really do anything besides simply testing how consistently you can dodge their 6 attacks or whatever

there's no macro

[hybrid flare]

True, but those 2 both force you to react albeit they don't really have mixups or overlaps to add depth to the fight

[fiery burrow]

I think PV holds up and has some good variety on replayability but NKG kinda falls off eventually with teleports and pufferfish and whatnot

[sturdy trellis]

and the 3 attack overlap of fs does require some macro

which is nice

[fiery burrow]

AbsRad and Grey Prince Zote are the goats of replayability though

[sharp slate]

flip up sharpdart trap card

[hybrid flare]

Rad isnt that great and gpz is peak yeah

Im biased towards humanoid bosses in general

[sharp slate]

Im screwed if I attempt silkskillless pantheon of pharloom lol

[sturdy trellis]

(note this is from the perspective of someone who has way too much time on hk bosses, pv does hold up until you get to mega consistent hitless streaking)

[hybrid flare]

Gpz has the fucking summons and walk forward which kinda hold him back

[sturdy trellis]

ok you say that and yet i'm looking at your fs stats for rs4...

[hybrid flare]

Yeah but there's nothing quite surprising pv can pull off

which is both a good and a bad thing imo

[fiery burrow]

also PV clearly has overlapping attacks

[sturdy trellis]

ya that's what i'm saying

what the fight offers is fun, but it does not offer as much as the more varied bosses

[sharp slate]

Anyways off to coal mines for me peace

[final lichen]

random shower thought
with Subnautica 2 releasing tomorrow
Deadlock will become the most whislisted game on steam

[sturdy trellis]

[sturdy trellis]

have fun

i might hop on some rs4 later today

we'll see

[fiery burrow]

do you think they could add overlapping floor nails into the fight and have it work

[sturdy trellis]

prolly

[fiery burrow]

its like kinda fun when it happens

[knotty osprey]

im hyped for subnautica 2 but im GENUINELY praying its good

[sage glade]

anyone here played mio

[fiery burrow]

The novelty of underwater survival is kinda gone so I doubt it will hit as hard as subnautica 1 but I'm still expecting a pretty solid game

[sage glade]

i'm at the ||vaults for a second time||, wondering how much game i have left in mio

[hybrid flare]

but what about SPACE survival exploration?

[sage glade]

outer wilds

[fiery burrow]

uhh like 4-10 hours I'd guess

[hybrid flare]

peak

[fiery burrow]

kinda depends on what else you've done

[sage glade]

i only have 3 of the limbs so far

and i got diffed by the double boss to enter the area at the top left

so i think pretty much the least i could have done so far

[sage glade]

i just got the joke

[azure mist]

Nice!

[sage glade]

don't cook agian

[azure mist]

💀💀

[maiden gust]

hi

[unkempt steeple]

Honestly for as somewhat underwhelming act 3 is, the beginning is amazing and sets up the vibes insanely well

[final lichen]

I've been playing a lot of deadlock lately
Valve cooked again

[torpid swift]

I still can't believe there's zero motorslice gifs that actually features the girl motorslicing through the big machines

[heady iron]

Sorry you're getting 1000 objectification gifs instead

[stable salmon]

imagine in after sea of sorrow they add pond of ribbit and theres frogs there and u have to avoid being caught in their tongues and theyre really big

[cursive inlet]

Sk X Subnautica crossover when

[torpid swift]

no and never

[cursive inlet]

yes and now*

[pallid sleet]

wait this is actually a good idea

ur goated

[torpid swift]

how is it bad
