[cerulean sable]

WHEN WIILL SEA OF SORROW RELEASE

I HAVE NOTHING TO DO ANYMORE

[versed pollen]

Fuck you mean you don't play games anymore

Did you give them up like a drug addiction

[worn sapphire]

Let me introduce the humble portal revolution

Or like valve games or smth

[shrewd kelp]

Nein

I don't like those kinds of games for certain reasons

[cunning geode]

what reasons

[inland ravine]

no????

[worn sapphire]

Ok 👍

[inland ravine]

it was difficult for me on PC

[versed pollen]

What like you couldn't install them

I feel like I'm even more confused now

[cunning geode]

i think this fight is gonna take me a lot of tries

[versed pollen]

What makes you say that

[cunning geode]

i already killed 4000* enemies in this fight

before taking this screenshot

[versed pollen]

Sounds like you're doing just fine

[fervent hawk]

how do i defete lost lace?

any tips?

[old compass]

when she does the 3 dash attacks, jump as high as possible, float, and get as far away from her as possible

when she does the HIDIAAAAA cross stitch attack, you can clawline her the moment when she lands back on the floor and double jump to get an extra hit in

[fervent hawk]

i have chronic skill issue :(

[old compass]

I can't help with that

unless I teleport to your house and take your controller

[old compass]

can you draw palestag in unfortunate situations

[queen acorn]

[old compass]

[queen acorn]

i cant draw but

[ornate perch]

I almost die to bell eater 😭

[old compass]

what if you commision me (jk don't commision me)

i'm the opposite

i have too much to do in the world of gaming

i'm juggling mio's endgame and subnautica 2; i am so far from ready for sea of sorrow

but at least i formally knocked down baba is you from my backlog (although i'm not done with the game yet)

[old compass]

stop flexing on the poor kid

[orchid spruce]

my steak is too buttery

[fiery burrow]

throwing rocks from the tops of skyscrapers is free

[orchid spruce]

i am juggling 7 games

[versed pollen]

Installing random software off GitHub is free

[plucky stag]

How do you do it

[orchid spruce]

i am not doing it

[plucky stag]

My plan is to return to pharloom after I finish both mio and s2

Chat is Beating High Halls, Beating 2nd Lace and beating GMS in 40 minutes humanly possible

[odd hull]

You're crazy

[plucky stag]

Took a peek at it, it's probably a nice game but my backlog is too bloated at the moment

[split lodge]

Yes if tool spam + circlet

[plucky stag]

Imagine playing slay the spire and you already have too many cards in your deck

[pale falcon]

I don't have circlet 😭

[opaque sigil]

simply take exhaust cards don't ask me how this part of the metaphor applies to games

[orchid spruce]

I'm running out of peak metroidvanias to play

[split lodge]

Though not a metroidvania, play elden ring

[old compass]

in what possible context

[orchid spruce]

You think I'd be stuck playing metroidvanias if I could afford and run Elden Ring?

[split lodge]

Fair enough

Dead cells?

[rocky jolt]

yoo socrates is calling me

[orchid spruce]

5 hours, last played 2 months ago

[serene mountain]

I beat lost lace!

[split lodge]

Let’s gooooo

[serene mountain]

2 entire days

[plucky stag]

One of those days when I'm looking for a game to play in my backlog I'll ask you for advise

[old compass]

play sheepy: a short adventure (it's free)

[plucky stag]

I have a few metroidvanias in there

[orchid spruce]

Sure

[dense perch]

Yo

[plucky stag]

But i think my queue is pretty full for the next few months

[old compass]

saving you sucked

I hate you

[orchid spruce]

[odd hull]

You can do it tho!

[plucky stag]

After I finish the two campaign games I have going I'll go for 52 in skong

[orchid spruce]

[dense perch]

:(

[split lodge]

I wish there was a canon flea abductor like the collector so I can beat him up

[onyx python]

true socrates would never try to clone your voice

[plucky stag]

Then I will knock down some short story games to bring the number down

[onyx python]

52 is a reference to the amount of cards in poker

[dense perch]

Why’d you hate the Queen’s gardens top left grub so much

[plucky stag]

I currently have 26 in the backlog; maybe when I get it down to 15 or so will I seek help on what to play next

[orchid spruce]

GRIME and its sequel suffer from poor boss telegraphs, icl

[split lodge]

Steel soul and steel heart and speed completion in one save file

[orchid spruce]

It's intentional but it's

[plucky stag]

Too rusty; I'll have been off the game for 7 months by the time I come back around june

[dense perch]

@eager elm U chilling with me or nah

-# plz dont tell me you hate the queens gardens grub

[night vector]

[cerulean sable]

Fair enough

I do like how it was named, its an Anti Tank weapon that carries an 84mm warhead

84 was just pseudonamed (wrong term i dont remember) to AT4 instead, which fits the Anti Tank part

Its like thst movie, Sesevenven

[fervent bough]

I wonder if there are any psychopaths who like the flea carnival

[vivid belfry]

flea festival is chill on repeat playthroughs

[fervent bough]

I've hated it on every single one of playthroughs

[odd hull]

Me

[vivid belfry]

minus occasional instances of flea dodge throwing some complete horseshit at you

[fervent bough]

Mainly the rng aspect

You'll be coming down from a free fall and there's obviously a flea brew flew coming

Or the moment you're about to land the platform vanishes

If there was a evil route I might wipe out the caravan just for the anger I've felt lmfao

[still osprey]

I really like the flea minigames for the most part

[vivid belfry]

flea dodge is just kinda nothing

[still osprey]

Flea Dodge is the worst by far

[vivid belfry]

a majority of the energy it puts into obstacles are things that don't even cross your path, and then occasionally everything converges on you at once

[cerulean sable]

My only issue with flea is the urgency and the GMS scream

[toxic vigil]

flea dodge is okay
its rng

[fervent bough]

The main thing I hate

I've gotten a score of 200 on the juggle

[fiery burrow]

flea is kinda fun but kinda a pain for pale oil

[cerulean sable]

And maybe pale oil lock, but yeah i agree outside of it it was chill

[still osprey]

Honestly the worst part of the flea minigames is how unbelievably boring flea juggle is

Like holy shit dude

[cerulean sable]

Imo they should move pale oil to another spot

[fervent bough]

The shaman crest is just too op for the juggle

[still osprey]

Juggle isn't even hard it's just boring

[fervent bough]

Keeps them air borne for more then long enough.

[fiery burrow]

I found flea juggle more engaging than pogo and dodge was probably the one I enjoyed the most

[still osprey]

It's so slow

[fervent bough]

It slows down once you beat the high score it feels like

[indigo oyster]

guys i beat all game in flea

[toxic vigil]

both

[indigo oyster]

but seit was not there

[toxic vigil]

my favorite is bounce
i beat seth before i knew seth could show up

[indigo oyster]

seth will come ?

after i get the pal oil

[vivid belfry]

you have to find him in a few spots after his fight

[indigo oyster]

is it needed for 100%

[still osprey]

People overrate the hell out of the difficulty of the Guardian Memento tbh

[vivid belfry]

no, just a memento

[still osprey]

Like yea it's the hardest of the mementos but it's still like, not that bad at all

[indigo oyster]

oh he givea mementos

[vivid belfry]

the hardest is hunter's memento because it requires you to do hunter's memento

[odd hull]

I think people just genuinely struggle a lot with this game

[still osprey]

Hunter's Memento is just boring and exhausting as shit

[indigo oyster]

me with 2 memeto

[vivid belfry]

see I consider that a form of difficulty

just not a challenge

[still osprey]

I've used mods to make getting it easier on repeat playthroughs and I have 0 regrets

[indigo oyster]

you should not

[still osprey]

Why not?

[indigo oyster]

its your gameplay

[still osprey]

Oh you mean that

[odd hull]

Because most of them don't have much experience in gaming, platforming or with metroidvanias

[exotic cedar]

True

[indigo oyster]

this the 2rd souls like game or matroidvanians

before that

i played kids games

[odd hull]

I don't think hk or sk are souls likes. Anyways, yeah, that's the general case I see

[vivid belfry]

I just don't think flea dodge has much room for skill expression, it's mostly just standing on one platform at a time and jumping in a circle

[odd hull]

Tons of people with hk as their first metroidvania or "hard" games yk

[indigo oyster]

oh

[fiery burrow]

difficulty discourse was crazy

and I think 90% of it was sandcarvers doing 2 masks on 1.0

and other obstacles

[exotic cedar]

People complained about hunters march

[undone saffron]

hello chat

[exotic cedar]

When i was still playing hk i was wondering how hard was it actually
(The answer is not that hard)

[still osprey]

Sprintmaster's Memento is probably the easiest Memento because Swift is a fraud and couldn't even come up with a new track
Guardian's Memento is challenging and definitely the hardest but even then it's not that bad, Juggle gets a little boring, Dodge is a little bullshit, and Bounce gets trivialized by half the crests in the game
Hunter's Memento is just bullshit
Surface Memento is, ok, not the most fun or interesting platforming challenge but I guess there's nothing really wrong with it
The other 4 mementos are just boss fights

[vivid belfry]

people like to point to the giant skull scuttlers doing 2 damage as a portent of overusing double damage but those things are way more reasonable for an early game area than husk guards

[flat mason]

Heloo

[exotic cedar]

I don't like how the other 4 is just boss fights, needs more variety

[undone saffron]

husk guards are swinging a big stick

[fiery burrow]

husk guards had more aura for how relentless they were

[vivid belfry]

I think you've got the flow of justification backwards

[opaque sigil]

I mean husk guards doing two damage does something different than a lot of early game double damage, it's a way of telling the player that they should maybe come back later because this enemy is explicitly more powerful than normal enemies

it's sort of like quirrel telling you to go upgrade if you die to ml

[vivid belfry]

TC didn't make a bunch of bosses to fill in memento requirements, they created mementos to justify the existence of bosses that didn't give anything else

[still osprey]

None of them even really give any other reward either

[undone saffron]

I did prefer double damage in hollow knight for how rare it was

[vivid belfry]

are you talking about great husk sentries

[undone saffron]

so if you got hit for two you really noticed oh shit that guy hit me for two

[opaque sigil]

I'm talking abotu the crossguards

[cunning geode]

would be kinda neat if mementos did somethin else that affected gameplay but that might be too extreme and radical

[flat mason]

While playing HK, I found it quite easy tbh

[undone saffron]

and the sound loud and scary

[vivid belfry]

I mean you kind of need to interact with a husk guard to get to false knight

[still osprey]

Watcher at the Edge, Lost Garmond and whichever Heart you get are nothing but mementos
Crawfather at least gives the Crawbell too

[opaque sigil]

in an arena where it very handily gives you the tools to go around it

[exotic cedar]

Yeah i see

[vivid belfry]

I guess but I've never seen someone interact with them like that

[undone saffron]

yeah the mementos are the reward

[exotic cedar]

I was talking about hunters march, i forgot to reply to my own message

[undone saffron]

mementos are cool

[cunning geode]

the one that can break the secret wall? yeah ive had multiple friends go around it because they got scared

[fiery burrow]

I cheesed the first husk guard on my first playthrough

[vivid belfry]

interesting

[flat mason]

Oh lol

[fiery burrow]

just camped the corridor

[cunning geode]

It Can Happen

[exotic cedar]

Yeah mb

[cunning geode]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W36uAXOMxw

[flat mason]

Dw

[opaque sigil]

my impression from those enemies was always a 'I'm not supposed to fight that right now' early on

[still osprey]

They're fine just not very interesting

[opaque sigil]

which of course is different from 'I can't fight that right now' but I think they effectively communicate that role

[exotic cedar]

Im a little baby to hollow knight and silksong i started hk after the day silksong released

[vivid belfry]

mementos are odd to me, they kinda remind me of the same space as HK having more dream bosses than is required for seer ascension

[still osprey]

I lowkey don't remember when I first played hk

It was either 2020 or 2021

[opaque sigil]

I think a pretty big difference here is that there's nothing important from unlocking mementos but there is something for essence even if you don't need every pickup

[cunning geode]

just after grimm troupe for me, so late 2017

year one player yippee

[opaque sigil]

with dream bosses there are extras so if you like miss some or whatever it's fine, plus there's stuff like gpz which is missable and white defender which is hard to find without external resources

[vivid belfry]

yeah it's more specifically like if white defender and GPZ didn't give essence

[flat mason]

I beat HK in early 2025, without knowing silksong was a thing until june (I think

[still osprey]

I feel like Watcher at the Edge especially could've given anything else besides a memento

[cunning geode]

yeah white defender is a tricky secret, i'd even call it a "supersecret" by which its hidden in a way that breaks the rules TC uses for hidden areas everywhere else

[opaque sigil]

watcher at the edge and all of verdania giving the same thing is wild

[cunning geode]

(its not the only one)

[still osprey]

See but here's the thing at least Verdania can be used for the main questline of the game

[serene mountain]

Tier list of all the silksong bosses now that ive finished

[flat mason]

Really cool from Team Cherry to release a sequel within months just for me

[still osprey]

Watcher is, just a memento

[cunning geode]

wait is there an achievement for beating white defender

[still osprey]

Yes

[cunning geode]

ok then its not a supersecret nvm

[still osprey]

All HK DLC bosses have achievements iirc

Except Hive Knight

Cuz no one cares about Hive Knight

[cunning geode]

poor hive knight

that boss is fun its got a lot of character

[exotic cedar]

And has good music

[orchid spruce]

I remember nothing except it looks like a bee with a sword

[opaque sigil]

in that it breaks the rules of how the game establishes a diveable spot it still is imo

[orchid spruce]

Must've been lame

[flat mason]

I care, he's cute

[still osprey]

Technically the pantheon bosses also don't have achievements for beating them, but there's achievements for beating the pantheons, so basically the same thing

[fiery burrow]

2026 hivesteel industrial hive revamp ‼️

[still osprey]

Actually Sisters of Battle and Winged Nosk I guess also have no achievements for beating them unless you want to count Embrace the Void

But that's not really for beating them

You can beat them and still die later in the pantheon and not get the achievement

[fiery burrow]

I thought white defender was exclusive to P4 for a while lowk

[still osprey]

Because, it's for beating the pantheon, not the bosses

[flat mason]

He's on 2nd Hornet Level, I think

[cunning geode]

sure sure, but for me part of what makes a supersecret super is that first and foremost it doesn't count for any game completion.
for context i use this term for classic doom, a game where secrets tallied at the end of the level have to be marked by the mapmaker

[still osprey]

Does beating White Defender in Godhome give the achievement?

[cunning geode]

sometimes mappers put secret things in and dont mark them

[flat mason]

Or bit easier than that

[exotic cedar]

I remember first fighting white defender in godhome but i lowk forgot

[orchid spruce]

I'm a simple man. If I don't remember it, it must've been lame.

[vivid belfry]

I'm gonna say it's likely based on how many other contexts WD is treated the same across both locations

beating white defender in hall of gods increments the fight counter in waterways

[still osprey]

It what.

[fiery burrow]

[rotund gate]

Pause

[cunning geode]

haha

[fiery burrow]

false knight just like disappears if you beat it in HOG first right

[vivid belfry]

I didn't even think that was an option

[fiery burrow]

this is my achievement order so yeah

[orchid spruce]

how do so many players do pantheons lmao

[vivid belfry]

the dream bosses are unique cases because you only need to beat their base form to access P4

which I still believe is a bug

[opaque sigil]

they're not really that hard

[orchid spruce]

they're not that interesting neither

[flat mason]

Trueee

[opaque sigil]

I think it might be intended since it's pretty possible to just... never know soul master has something if you go back to the arena which you never have any reason to do

[exotic cedar]

First 4 pantheons is kinda fun, fifth is kinda boring on early but when it gets good later

[fiery burrow]

they did like 7 bosses and an ending behind them

[vivid belfry]

silksong's boss rushes are probably gonna be less intimidating purely because there are HK bosses that practically prevent you from healing

[exotic cedar]

Wtf am i typing

[flat mason]

P5 was the worst experience I had with hk

[still osprey]

P5 is just, not good

[vivid belfry]

I mean yeah but the locks exist to let you know which specific bosses you missed, and the pedestals for bosses with rematches in HoG have two slots

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/bug-reading-bug-reading-gif-19337695

quick chat lock in what kind of bug is this you should all know this being bug game fans 👹

[meager jolt]

True...been trapped in this hell for years as I did everything else

[vivid belfry]

flea?

[meager jolt]

I HATE P5 I HATE GODHOME

[vivid belfry]

P5 is fine in a vacuum but the first playthrough experience was such a fucking slog

[flat mason]

Never bothered finishing it, and just stopped playing the game entirely

[cunning geode]

p5 is certainly a thing

[vivid belfry]

also P5AB is the worst torture ever put in videogames and the fact that I did it willingly is proof of my insanity

[opaque sigil]

p5 could be a lot better if it even just cut out one of the fights that have two versions

[meager jolt]

I really hate it...just did an attempt an hour ago and died to AbsRad final phase

[exotic cedar]

I was going to do ab on every pantheon but gpz was like a mental torture to me so i just gave up on the third pantheon

[meager jolt]

And the Grimm fights' vibes were killed

[meager jolt]

P1AB and P2AB are so easy, then the other 3 feel impossible

[orchid spruce]

Boohooboohoo

[exotic cedar]

P4AB actually feels easier than P3AB

[orchid spruce]

If you wanna have a boss rush, you gotta put in the actual good bosses

[opaque sigil]

true

[orchid spruce]

I ain't learning those slop bosses

[flat mason]

And not 40 lame bosses

[exotic cedar]

Most p4 bosses has windows to heal (except pv), atleast in my experience

[orchid spruce]

TRUE

[still osprey]

I did P1-4 EB and then I died to AbsRad when doing P5 nail binding and then I never played a pantheon ever again until I replayed 112% pre-silksong 🎉

[exotic cedar]

I remember getting to pv in p4ab then dying

[opaque sigil]

like yeah the point of p5 is to have all the bosses (it doesn't even do that but wtv) but is that even a good point

[fiery burrow]

Life if P5 was Oro & Mato, Sheo, Sly, Hornet 2, Pure Vessel and AbsRad

[neat python]

Well the point of it is all bosses in the game right so why would they not add all the bosses

[exotic cedar]

in p3ab gpz is just a bigass wall

[opaque sigil]

they didn't

that's the funny thing

[vivid belfry]

the GPZ into Ascended Markoth combo in P5AB is completely insane

[still osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-1457473106328210491

[neat python]

Whay ones are left out

[trim estuary]

where is pale lurker bro

[orchid spruce]

the point is no one likes bad bosses

[still osprey]

Hornet 2

[opaque sigil]

you don't have to fight mantis lords twice, you don't have to fight nosk 1

[orchid spruce]

[trim estuary]

It’s so funny though

[vivid belfry]

no Hornet 2 is in there

you fight her after sly

[neat python]

[opaque sigil]

they could've removed false knight, soul master, hornet 1, bv, etc

[vivid belfry]

oh I misunderstood what you were talking about

nvm

[meager jolt]

It's actually Soul Tyrant -> Markoth -> GPZ -> Failed Champion -> NKG

[cunning geode]

they forgot julian

[fiery burrow]

Sly to Hornet destroyed me in P5 it should be kept

[barren dew]

hi

[orchid spruce]

i will SUE team cherry if silksong pantheon doesn't have the best boss of all time (Bell Eater)

[fiery burrow]

She's important and fun enough for it to make sense

[still osprey]

The problem is while it's a cool idea in concept, it's absolutely horrible on execution

[flat mason]

Heloo

[exotic cedar]

Jello

[still osprey]

No one wants to sit through fucking, False Knight and co, just to attempt AbsRad

[barren dew]

I have nothing to talk about I just like to say hi

[vivid belfry]

winged nosk is such a missed opportunity because the different arena immediately lets you know something is up

[opaque sigil]

having a boss rush with all bosses when a lot of your bosses are one off nothing encounters just to add some flavor is maybe not the best idea

[neat python]

I guess its meant to be an optional challenge tho😂

[flat mason]

Real

[neat python]

Just a ton of bosses in a row

[meager jolt]

Obligatory Winged Nosk mention (worst boss fight ever)

[opaque sigil]

I think this makes it better

[still osprey]

An optional challenge with an entire ending locked behind it

[flat mason]

Silksong pantheons will have shakra. I'm not doing this

[opaque sigil]

"oh it's the hornet fight, wait a minute something OH"

[timid sky]

Is bell eater really that good

[exotic cedar]

Also achivement, i love achivement and i have to get them all

[still osprey]

Just because it's optional doesn't mean it's good

[meager jolt]

Real

[neat python]

It is good

[vivid belfry]

bell eater is disliked by many but I think it's fine

[orchid spruce]

SSS+ tier boss

[still osprey]

I refuse to ever do P5 ever again even on 112% replays it's so unbelievably boring

[exotic cedar]

I did p5eb

I wasted my life ... I could have done something productive...

[timid sky]

I don’t like bell eater the bullet attacks are really annoying

[still osprey]

Bell Eater is annoying but I can't really hate it

[flat mason]

Sometimes I wish hk and sk had way fewer bosses

[orchid spruce]

They gotta learn from the good NG+ and see Pantheons as an opportunity to elevate the bosses to a new level

[meager jolt]

Only gets hard for the last 6 bosses

[still osprey]

It's ok, not very interesting, kinda annoying, but at least it's over quickly

[meager jolt]

Takes forever to do

[opaque sigil]

I mean that's something they did/tried to do with how ascended fights get remixed sometimes

[exotic cedar]

It shouldhave been like nine sols smh my head

[meager jolt]

40 mins for non-speedrunners isn't quickly

[vivid belfry]

Bell Eater needs to exist so rune rage can do something

[orchid spruce]

What, winged mosk?

[still osprey]

Who tf takes 40 minutes on bell eater

[orchid spruce]

I mean, sure but they could do better ig

[barren dew]

P5 killed my family

[flat mason]

Trueee

[orchid spruce]

And do it to more bosses

[meager jolt]

I meant for the whole P5

[opaque sigil]

no like arena changes and collector summoning stronger enemies

[still osprey]

Well I was talking about bell eater

[meager jolt]

Ah sorry

[orchid spruce]

That's not enough

[trim estuary]

i ❤️ p5 nail binding collector

[orchid spruce]

But I guess it's better for a boss gauntlet to not push a boss too far

but that's in exchange for its quality

Boss gauntlet just kinda sucks as an idea

[trim estuary]

I disagree

[opaque sigil]

the idea of a boss gauntlet isn't fundamentally inherently flawed it's just that the roster in hk has a lot of nothing

[still osprey]

I don't really mind them much if they're optional

[versed pollen]

Why is it better for a boss gauntlet to not push a boss too far

[orchid spruce]

Too hard

[versed pollen]

Who cares

[orchid spruce]

[fiery burrow]

Boss rush would be a lot more fun if they like kept in the platforming and exploration before the boss. So before you fight false knight there'd be like an entire area beforehand and then you got a powerup which let you visit a brand new area with Hornet

etc etc

[cedar trench]

seems like a lot of work

[opaque sigil]

if a boss rush introduces new stuff and you die because something you've never seen before happens 30 minutes in that would in fact suck

[fiery burrow]

Has anyone made a game like this it sounds fun

[orchid spruce]

sounds like this gets old real fast

[cedar trench]

also on repeats this sounds like extra tedium

[opaque sigil]

could add checkpoints throughout

[chilly nexus]

bel eater -> that zappy column tool

rune rage -> farming and one shotting those big guys in choral chambers

[still osprey]

Literally absrad

"They should put the groal runback in silksong's godhome"

[vivid belfry]

boss rush would be a lot more fun if every boss had a really long hallway you walk down where a purple jackass monologues at you

[trim estuary]

Wait maybe you add a secret refight above the arena that you can do after you get a bunch more upgrades

[chilly nexus]

maybe boss rush more fun if you replay the game on a new file but faster

[flat mason]

I did one from Sekiro and I think it was perfect. Just 5 bosses, they're all peak, final one is a remix.

There's one with 3 bosses iirc lol

[still osprey]

I don't think any of hk's pantheons are really that flawed except for p5 which is like, maybe the biggest flaw the game has

[cedar trench]

my favorite boss idea is fighting phantom and lace alongside each other as if we haven't had enough of lace and as if they had any chemistry whatsoever in their fighting styles

[rough cradle]

👀

[orchid spruce]

Yeah, it works if the bosses are peak

[meager jolt]

Zappy column is Voltvessels

[fiery burrow]

we have too much and too little Lace at the same time 🧐

[versed pollen]

When do I get to kill Lace for good

[orchid spruce]

They should have put Massive Moss Charger in every pantheon to make them good

[meager jolt]

Lace 4 in Sea of Sorrow?

[still osprey]

She literally dies after her cradle fight? 🙄

[orchid spruce]

Plasmified Lace sounds exciting

[vivid belfry]

it's exceptionally funny that silksong has MMC with a bigger moveset as a regular enemy

and you know what I like that enemy

[exotic cedar]

i dont want refights i want fun and unique bosses plss

[cedar trench]

phantom usually zones you out and has a very punishing parry and lace zeroes in on you so the whole fight is just you occasionally juping to dodge phantom while fightin a weaker lace again for the fourth time

[still osprey]

Which enemy, I don't feel like thinking rn

[opaque sigil]

keep her attacks that have her leave the arena for eons and add the healing

[vivid belfry]

ductsucker

[orchid spruce]

who's that enemy, i don't remember

[still osprey]

Ohhh

[orchid spruce]

oh, that one. stinks

[orchid spruce]

so true

also randomly stops and shoots blue balls while shaking violently

[opaque sigil]

she already does this in ll

[orchid spruce]

are they blue though

[cedar trench]

lace
she randomly stops to spew projectile bullshit at you

[opaque sigil]

if they were blue you could actually see them

[still osprey]

God, Silksong would've been so much better if Plasmified Zango was the final boss instead of this "Lost Lace" gal that randomly appears with no explanation or relation to the plot

[trim estuary]

True!

[cedar trench]

this but real

like 40%

[vivid belfry]

I do not understand how people have trouble seeing LL projectiles

the overlapping tendrils I get

[orchid spruce]

make the background blue

[vivid belfry]

but like, the background isn't black, people made that up

[exotic cedar]

ll projectiles are fine but im not just a big fan of the boss

[trim estuary]

Do you have glasses

[still osprey]

crest discourse son vs lost lace discourse daughter

[vivid belfry]

yes but I don't see what that has to do with contrast

[cedar trench]

abortion

[trim estuary]

Yeah me neither

[cerulean sable]

i am also a lost lace truther

[trim estuary]

I can’t see it anyway

[cerulean sable]

i think shes a great true final boss

cuz i found lace 2 too easy

[exotic cedar]

😨

[cedar trench]

just put me in yarnaby's contraption

[vivid belfry]

I like Lace 2 better than Lost Lace but I don't see Lost Lace as a step backwards if that makes sense

[strange knot]

why not both at the same time

[rough cradle]

Whats the secret 3rd option?

[trim estuary]

Lace 2 might be my favorite boss (besides Crawfather) atp

[meager jolt]

!wiki ductsucker

[vivid belfry]

I think she's trying to do something different and succeeds, I just like Lace 2's concept better

Yeah, just select the good ones, even if it makes the gauntlets way shorter. We don't need 5 pantheons and the first one definitely don't deserves 10 bosses

he’s a reaper main are you sure about this

[high sparrow]

Well idk what you meant by that

[cerulean sable]

maybe an entirely different boss?

even

like i wouldnt mind if it was like a GMS style grandiose fight tho

and with the similar architecture

maybe Romino with 18 arms

[quartz gulch]

Yeah mate, that take will get you staked. SO SO HOT.

[cerulean sable]

well i see people saying they want voided up GMS or wtv

so i assume the popular consensus is basically a proper GMS fight

[quartz gulch]

"voided up" sounds kinda wrong in a certain way...

[high sparrow]

Actually what about voided trobbio

[quartz gulch]

GMS is a "proper" fight when you do cursed, people are just kinda stupid. Apart from that, GMS isn't even that easy.

[cerulean sable]

to be fair i didnt fight cursed GMS

[opaque sigil]

a proper gms fight would probably not feel all that original anyways

[cerulean sable]

i do hear her being a wall

[odd hull]

Yeah. I don't want voided GMS tho

[opaque sigil]

like at best she'd be what, radiance with a different aesthetic

ok maybe a guy from the steel clan holding a voided up great sword

What can be the final final boss aside from lace and gms

June, August, September or later would be ideal for me

[quartz gulch]

Cool bossfights would be:
-Twisted Child (idk if the powerscaling works though)
-Seamstress and Pintress
-All four Sentinels
-(Fourth) Chorus fight but designed in a way similar to my suggestions
-Shakra's Master (unless she's another spam tp boss)
-a third Weaver (both Weaver bosses are amazing, a third one could use more of the Weaver abilities)
-King of Deepnest (HK fanfic ass shit)
-Savage Beastflies (r/Silksong)
-The Citadel (huge gauntlet, in waves, with all bosses and soldier enemies of the citadel, starting with the Judges and ending with a Weaver of the Citadel of Stone, includes Automatons)
-Greater Groal (anyone get the reference? I love Groal and wouldn't mind another fight with good difficulty improvements)
-Lost Zaza
-Job Application (r/Silksong)
-Grosk
-Grulector
-Lifeblood Higher Being (fuck your Plasmium, it's lifeblood /s)
-Weaver Queen (bs idea canonically, but could be "improved" GMS, aka ABSGMS)
-Sherma the Star
-First Sunreader
-Choir of Cogflies
-Ascended Gorb / Great Gorb
-Winged Bellbombers gauntlet

Imagine you going to fight Hornet Sentinel but meet her truly peak form instead

I made an Abyss Creature design 3 years ago, kinda hope it looks like that

[quartz gulch]

That's not her form though.....

[fervent bough]

Big ole caterpillar mod for the flea 😂

[quartz gulch]

You can also kill him with dps, though he has 800 hp and frequently regenerates.

However Needle Phial takes 25% of his hp. So you can just brute force the last phase.

[tiny siren]

Is it just me or are the hitbox for thorns in the climb to the surface unusually big?

[fervent bough]

Well I mean you can trick an ai into thinking 7 comes after 1 when counting. So I take whatever Ai says as false until I fact check it

dawg i was just in the dunes i took a ss of a reaper tail emerging from the darkness like ooo thats spooky tell me why at that exact moment a warper decides im not allowed to be in my seamoth anymore

i panic closed the game

im sat here in the main menu like a twat

[fiery burrow]

always carry an air bladder for emergency reaper escape

[quartz gulch]

To be fair, Dunes are best explored with Cyclops or Prawn Suit prolly. Prawn you have to hide, but the Cyclops will be straight up ignored when turned off.

not knowing where the reaper is after popping the air bladder is more stressful than just dying

I got the map memorized on god

I should replay

thats what i tell myself before somehow ending up in the void

Yes, the one person replying apparently.

I do, since you can use it to get intel about caves and exits.

my iq is too low to interpret it

Subnautica 2 leviathans have no aura

Every creature except small fish have, or at least they all perma-die. Though it's pretty much impossible to kill them (Warpers I mean).

just got champion in flea juggle and got the final pale oil

you cant spell Ari Gibson without AI

top 10 most dangerous locations in the game cuz of how big it is

but yea it makes the game wayyy less scary

[trim estuary]

do you guys think they hired Jack Vine to train AI models on Ari’s art and their lore bible

[sharp slate]

yea, it makes sense, thats what these programs do, they are basically just glorified search platforms in case of GPT and Gemini

Someone with no knowledge of what a silkpost is easily can do what an AI can

hell someone came on here other day asking if x sea of sorrow date was real they seen on reddit

[hybrid flare]

[wind mulch]

how does 4546B still have water when they have ai (warpers)

i didnt realise it was so close to the void

[worn sapphire]

😞😞

[quartz gulch]

@hybrid flare It didn't, I promise.

[fiery burrow]

spiritually AI

[sharp slate]

honestly wouldnt be suprised if they used someone like copilot genAI for filler work

[hybrid flare]

I mean it is fitting considering the lack of inspired stuff but they didn't actually do it

[fiery burrow]

its either ghosts or reapers apparently

[sharp slate]

its really not an uncommon pratice in the programming industry atm to use it for menial stuff

[hybrid flare]

At least you can see it coming from somewhere

[fiery burrow]

never visiting this place again its too dangerous on god

[wind mulch]

copilot ai my beloved

[hybrid flare]

Unlike in that muddy water area

[wind mulch]

the essay bibliography saviour

[whole moon]

trash trash trash

[hybrid flare]

ts is why WE play old games only

and glaze their artistic work

[sharp slate]

Honestly, it doesnt really make a difference to me, if devs want to shave off menial shit while using AI that just means its more likely they have time to work on key aspects of the game

at least if they are a good dev, obviously its the user not the tool

[worn sapphire]

I have instincts I guess

[worn sapphire]

Goated game btw

[hybrid flare]

It is usually done to save money and sometimes putting in effort in menial stuff marks quite the difference

[trim estuary]

Can’t wait for Hallowed Concepts

[fiery burrow]

dude the ghosts are camping all the cool base spots in grand reef

[worn sapphire]

Yes

[sharp slate]

I'm not talking about fine details of a game here, im talking about insanely simple stuff that the user/gamer wont see in the end'

Actual shit that has 0 effect on the player

[hybrid flare]

I guess

[sharp slate]

like you said though a lot of people are willing to cut corners though

[hybrid flare]

But you'd assume that would be part of the foundation of the game's coding or assets

[fiery burrow]

there's two gorgeous rock formations and some thermal spires guarded by a ghost this has to be intentional bro

and warpers

[sharp slate]

code is more my implication, I maybe use the wrong term i guess, maybe repetitive work is more the term, i can really come up with right term atm hmm

[whole moon]

I was just listening to that one song

[hybrid flare]

I mean AI can also mess it up but ig that's fine

[sharp slate]

As long as you double check it, never just copy and slap it down, but once again that means the devs have to have good pratice, which i dont entrust most people to do

its what you are supposed to do when you take something from stack overflow as well... and well... I saw how often people did that in college...

[charred tiger]

#hk-art-gallery i finished my art :3

[sharp slate]

nice, looks good

[fiery burrow]

found the ideal base spot fr fr

[charred tiger]

i did kinda surprise myself

[sharp slate]

tbh i havent even played sub1

[charred tiger]

the right leg still feels wrong

[sharp slate]

how long would people estimate first subnautica is?

[fiery burrow]

Got to be a good 20-40 hours without looking stuff up at least

[charred tiger]

10 letters

[sharp slate]

might buy it, 75% off right now

[fiery burrow]

Well my first playthrough was a while ago so I don't fully remember thats just my estimate

[whole moon]

I think I hate this game lowk

[fiery burrow]

that's a steal

[hybrid flare]

Is sub2 slop

[wind mulch]

its so worth it

[unkempt steeple]

Silksong is full of plotholed bro, how does sherma get through the gate in thr marrow if you don't open it

[wind mulch]

no its really good

it feels way more like sub 1 than below zero

[whole moon]

I LOWKEY might hate silksong

[wind mulch]

its just early access so like

[unkempt steeple]

If you enjoy silksong you'rr playing the game wrong

[hybrid flare]

Idfk he was just walking around and it closed

[whole moon]

And I don’t just hate silksong

[wind mulch]

please remove ||leviathan music|| tho

shit is so goofy bruh

[whole moon]

I hate this gaming and entertainment industry in general

[wind mulch]

or like a setting to turn it off

[sharp slate]

steam deals always solid tbh

[fiery burrow]

rain world threat music

[sharp slate]

ill think on it for now

[hybrid flare]

That unironically works

[whole moon]

Shit always makes me angry

[hybrid flare]

Not sub2's sloppy music

[fiery burrow]

that alerts you quite unsubtly whenever there's a leviathan in shoreline before you even see it though

this is so hard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPX5yO7Qqyw

[hybrid flare]

The whole thing plays when the levi is present doe

[wind mulch]

idk if i like the weird ||shockwave roar thing|| they do or not

feels a little goofy

[fiery burrow]

monster hunter 😭 😭 😭

[wind mulch]

genuinely

brute tigrex visual effects

[fiery burrow]

||let you dodge roll through it with the prawn||

Leviathans aren’t in farm arrays you moron get it right

[fiery burrow]

[hybrid flare]

When your ass first meets a vulture

[whole moon]

Vultures are the bane of my existence

Ive died more from seeing them than actually getting snatched by them

[hybrid flare]

Remember vultures? now we have one shotting vultures with the firerate of a machine gun that can shoot lasers

[fiery burrow]

I love how dinky rain world music is

[wind mulch]

no leviathan in sub 2 is ||as traumatising as sand spears tbh||

[fiery burrow]

(until it locks in for story moments)

[whole moon]

When there are suspiciously 5 pebbles sitting together

[fiery burrow]

Random gods is genuinely a top 10 video game track

[hybrid flare]

Halcyon memories 🤤

[whole moon]

Pictures of the past

[hybrid flare]

The distorted version is hella haunting ngl

[fiery burrow]

are those like ||bobbit worms||

[wind mulch]

YES

[hybrid flare]

Saint is so good

[fiery burrow]

oh halcyon is sloppour 😔

[hybrid flare]

Downpour is lwk good

[fiery burrow]

downpour is rain world if the garbage elements weren't wabi sabi

[umbral ether]

kinda annoying it is showing the xbox controller for keybinds

[hybrid flare]

Most campaigns are very fun

[flat mason]

Oh, it's peak

[trim estuary]

The music? I think it’s unused from base game so technically it’s not Downpour

[fiery burrow]

https://youtu.be/fXgSpTIfqKs?t=121

[whole moon]

Should I start a hunter run

[fiery burrow]

Hunter so good when you use remix to remove the unique aspect of hunter

[whole moon]

Ive been wandering around aimlessly in survivor after finishing the game, the ancients were wrong, this life is fun

[whole moon]

Im probably gonna do this

20 cycles when there are so many obstacles in your path sounds tedious

[hybrid flare]

Saint mogs every campaign lwk

You should play saint

[glass helm]

finally getting around to steel soul, i want to get a 100% SS save before the dlc comes out

[graceful oyster]

Rain World music discussion

[flat mason]

Good luck!

[hybrid flare]

Saint ending's ost is also peak

[graceful oyster]

The main theme for Rain World is so unique, never heard anything quite like it

[whole moon]

It fits surprisingly too, thats hard to do with a wild focused game

[graceful oyster]

Which one, the one that's just a reverse version of an existing song or the credits music that is not very remarkable?

[fiery burrow]

I'm not doing spearmaster 🥀

[whole moon]

Gl

[trim estuary]

Theme V/Reclaiming Entropy

[hybrid flare]

The one in the final cutscene ||reclaiming entropy||

[whole moon]

I actually did ss100% back then in December

or November I don’t know

[hybrid flare]

Fun ass slugcats infinite spears infinite violence

[whole moon]

All you need to know is that its a pain

[fiery burrow]

wrong no infinite spears please hold a grapple worm and pearl

[hybrid flare]

Just dont play gourmand and you'll be fine

[graceful oyster]

This isn't in the DP album? Or something

[hybrid flare]

Bum uses grapple worms 💔

[fiery burrow]

Bro you need grapple worms to go through uh

[whole moon]

Grapple worms saved me in the leg

[whole moon]

Underhang

[hybrid flare]

I lwk never used them bro they're so ass to control

[fiery burrow]

tf did you do then

[whole moon]

Maybe youre the one whos ass at using it

[trim estuary]

Rain World Saint Ending Spoilers || https://youtu.be/FjfIhOqWtGA || idk this one

[hybrid flare]

Nah the only grapple worm movement that's good is saint's tongue

[trim estuary]

Maybe you’re just bad at grappling

[hybrid flare]

Nuh uh saint's grappling is peak

[graceful oyster]

Oh yeah that's the credits theme

[fiery burrow]

you can unspoil it twin not even the devs gaf about downpours story 🌹

[trim estuary]

Well yeah but grapple worms are also peak

[graceful oyster]

That music is just okay I guess

[hybrid flare]

Calling RE unremarkable is crazy work ngl

[hybrid flare]

Mogs e33 btw

[whole moon]

Rainworlds worst ost bodies e33

[hybrid flare]

I mean tbf anything does cuz im larping

[fiery burrow]

well yeah E33 is sexist racist ethnonationalist propaganda

[graceful oyster]

It's literally from the alphas gems and junk album that Primate released for no reason because he was like "wow! RW fans will eat anything!"

[whole moon]

E33 is for satan or radiances greatest and most loyal soldiers

[hybrid flare]

It is very fitting for the scene

[fiery burrow]

SO TRUE

[graceful oyster]

Don't get me started on the flower
