Hi

[exotic dome]

yo mio ost goes crazy 🔥 🔥🔥

[quartz gulch]

Anyways, I'm too tired for puns right now. I've lost a pack of lays and my sister's got a splinter I need to help her with.

[wet crater]

I swear to god if this is as bad as the passing of age for HK

[exotic dome]

it's better

[wet crater]

Will I need any special tool to meet Mr Mushroom like the Sporeshroom charm in HK?

[exotic dome]

no need

[stable mica]

if u equip sporeshroom u can translate right?

[lean pendant]

I like girls.

[meager flint]

based opinion

[frank plover]

me too

[lean pendant]

Are you lesbian?

[scarlet island]

me three

[frank plover]

no i’m kidding

[unreal ice]

I like tall strong women

[lean pendant]

You say that you a lesbian. Girl, me too.

[high sparrow]

You cant just ask someone if there a lesbian💔

[lean pendant]

[frank plover]

you can

i’m not

[scarlet island]

Its funny, cause im the exact oposite of this, does that mean you hate me

[high sparrow]

Bro what?

[unreal ice]

Depends if they're ok with it, but yeah

[lean pendant]

(*they're, not there)

[high sparrow]

Eh true,i guess it wouldnt hurt to ask

[unreal ice]

No then I'll become your guardian angel

[scarlet island]

https://tenor.com/view/score-oh-yes-oh-yeah-fist-pump-yes-gif-7909282

[frank plover]

i don’t need a guardian angel

[high sparrow]

Anyways so i just thougth of a interesting revelation,are there some bugs that are like atheist in hollow knigth verse?

I been thinkint about it

[frank plover]

what religion is there

[unreal ice]

First Sinner

[high sparrow]

I mean like,if they like actually dont believe in a god

[frank plover]

what gods are there

[unreal ice]

The Pale Beings

[high sparrow]

The radiance,the pale king,grand mother silk,basicly any higher being

[unreal ice]

We know there's one religion but it's not about worshipping the god, instead keeping them locked

[high sparrow]

Cause what if some of the bugs believed it was just evolution and not a miracle

[olive dune]

It's actually not exacly clear on what "atheist" means, i saw someone arguing that followers of mormonism are pretty much atheists

[unreal ice]

First Sinner didn't follow this so technically she's atheist

[high sparrow]

Well i mean in general,atheist is someone who doesnt believe in god or a god,they only believe in science

So like i was thinking like it be really funny if some bugs just believe the reason why they can think and talk is cause of evolution

[lean pendant]

From Wikipedia:

"Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is a rejection of the belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which is the belief that at least one deity exists."

[candid kayak]

well she doesn't deny gms's existence, she just doesn't worship them

[olive dune]

not sure why you brought up science but ok.
Yeah, in hk there are propably some bugs that haven't heard of higher beings or think it's a wild made up story

[high sparrow]

Well cause some atheist use science as a way to debunk religion

Not saying all of them tho,most dont really care about that

[olive dune]

science can debunk some religions but many don't make scientific claims, only historical and metaphisical ones (outside of what science can test)

Also First Sinner didn't rebel against GMS but against her sister weavers.

We know that citadel was build by weavers to imprison GMS sleeping and that slab was a prison for those who commited crimes against the citadel.
First Sinner is imprisoned in the slab.
Conclusion follows, First Sinner rebeled against her sisters.

Either this or its a plothole, like in oryginal hk team cherry themselfs dont know how the knight and other vessels escaped the abyss

[orchid spruce]

Wasn't there a theory that First Sinner got imprisoned for talking about how they are not children of GMS which is against the doctrine of the religion Weavers made up for control?

[vivid belfry]

I like the suggestion that First Sinner's apostasy wasn't against GMS but against the holy nature of the weavers passed down from her. The weavers being seen as holy was part of how the citadel operated

[olive dune]

Even if we assume that citadel and slab existed before weavers imprisoned gms, when weavers took control why they didn't free first sinner? If she was the 1st one to rebel against gms she would be seen as a hero, not kept inprisoned

[odd hull]

This emote is so scary

[orchid spruce]

Well, welcome to real world politics, actually

[orchid spruce]

[odd hull]

Stop

[orchid spruce]

[odd hull]

Noooooo

[olive dune]

this is how zote sees himself

[orchid spruce]

he would be right

[fiery burrow]

FS rejected the notion that weavers were divine which was kinda important to them ruling the Citadel

So the slab she went

[olive dune]

that was what i was arguing for, trying to debunk common misconseption that she rebeled against gms

[fiery burrow]

Oh mb mb

[pastel plank]

I love felines performing blinking action so pronounced

[orchid spruce]

truth nuke

[pastel plank]

how were Pilgrims meants to learn the Threefold melody if the Vaultkeeper's part is not to be shared with any bug other than a keeper?

[broken seal]

they aren't

[pastel plank]

wow didn't expect such conversations

[pastel plank]

Atheism is an opposite of theism which is a belief in a diety, Mormons do believe in a deity therefore they cannot be atheists

Oposite as in lacking suhc beliefs

[olive dune]

Maybe i'll send you a link to the video, it wasn't long and conclusion is interesting

[pastel plank]

Well, everything suggests they were coming to the Citadel to bow to its "heart", which is kinda the main goal of the pilgrimage

[fiery burrow]

Pilgrim of Pharloom eternal, you rare chosen who hath ascended to this final threshold, listen to our wish, deliver it, that you may rise above and see your pilgrimage end.

[broken seal]

it was a false promise

they were never going to achieve this

[pastel plank]

I'm not super interested in watching videos about that, the point is that they do believe in some deity, making them theists

[fiery burrow]

Why would they not want pilgrims to sing the song which keeps GMS asleep that makes no sense

[pastel plank]

Why not?

[fiery burrow]

Pilgrims wouldn't really have a purpose if they did nothing

[broken seal]

idk

[pastel plank]

I feel like it's pretty heavily suggested that the Threefold melody is the song that keeps the GMS asleep

[broken seal]

i just said the first explanation that popped into my head i didn't really think abt it

[fiery burrow]

The real answer is that the Cardinius dialogue makes no sense because Team Cherry can't write

[broken seal]

i don't believe it to be true i just made some shit up

🗣🔥

Can SK players not read or can TC not write?

[fiery burrow]

Prolly both

[cobalt pilot]

Neither

Trust me on this one

[broken seal]

I don't need to explain why they don't abbreviate it as SS

[pastel plank]

oh...

that's right..

makes sense, I haven't really thought about that tbh

[broken seal]

cuz it clashes with Steel Soul, obviously!! NO other reason.

[pastel plank]

true true

StS

[fiery burrow]

SS? did you mean: Shaman stone, Shade skip, Shade soul, Sharp shadow, Silksong, Silk soul, Soul sanctum, Sealed siblings, Sly's Shop, Salubra's Shop, Stag stations, Spore shroom, Stalwart shell, Steel soul, Stone sanctuary, Scream skip, Snail shaman, Slug storage, Sylphean Slug, Steel Seer, Superslide, Savestate, or Screenshot

[pastel plank]

hmm

gotta taste similar then

Where do I go

||Stuck at the ball clapper and anteater, idk where else to go ||

[rocky jolt]

go to YM's house

[pastel plank]

YM? Yumama Mother?

[cerulean sable]

ong'

they should replace the Forums final arena with a Gilded Grand Reed and a Gilded Choral Clapper duo fight

and if you kill the Grand Reed first the Clapper will absorb the Reed's ability of flight
vice versa, kill the Clapper first and the Reed will start causing AOE silk explosions to their attack

[lusty stump]

I’m stuck in this massive choral encounter rn. Is it even worth it?

It’s like a colosseum

[odd hull]

NO, GOD. PLEASE NO 😭

not them again

Everybody loves O&S. I'm their biggest hater fr fr

[rocky jolt]

whos the punching bag enemy now huh

[cerulean sable]

so basically theyre needed for the final end game, but you only need 3 hearts
you have 4 hearts options basically and out of those you choose whats more manageable to you or not

i personally prefer doing the gauntlet cuz i love CoF from the first game but if its too long then you could opt to do an easier heart

[rocky jolt]

https://giphy.com/gifs/v5ow9ZFD8R6pBIGOBx

[cerulean sable]

Benadryl Freeman is still my fav

[lusty stump]

Oh it’s a cog heart? So it’s an act2 requirement

[cerulean sable]

oh wait

[rocky jolt]

i love benadryl freeman

[cerulean sable]

what arena are you tlaking about

are you still in act 2?

[kind tide]

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-discord-speech-bubble-sousou-no-frieren-фрирен-gif-4773838818147006781

[lusty stump]

Off to the left. Tons of citadel folk. Wave after wave

[cerulean sable]

ahhhh Forums?

[lusty stump]

I think I’m near high halls and choral whatever

[cerulean sable]

Yeah its mandatory but its also the hardest fight in Act 2, if youre underleveled its better to go around and do something else, theres not reward to it except on gating you to the last 2 bosses of that act

[odd hull]

did you read "coral" too?

[cerulean sable]

yeah lmao

[odd hull]

lmaoooo

[cerulean sable]

but yeah youre in the Forums

one of the hardest Act 2 fights

a lot of people try to attempt it at like 6 mask

[lusty stump]

OH you thought I was climbing to the coral king dude

[cerulean sable]

but you could easily be at 8

yeah lmao

[lusty stump]

That’s me rn literally

[odd hull]

Yeah

[cerulean sable]

then yeah i think its a bit too early for you

Forums only blocks the Conductor's Melody

which allows entrance before the final fight

its like Watcher Knights guarding Lurien's body in the first game

[odd hull]

You can do this later then, there's a lot of stuff to do in other places

[cerulean sable]

ye

if youre on 6 mask its DEFINITELY too early imho

[lusty stump]

Oh I guess I can go climb the cog tower

[cerulean sable]

doable, but too early

[lusty stump]

Or maybe go tackle bilewater

[cerulean sable]

BW is also skippable imho

[odd hull]

Have you done Mount Fay?

[cerulean sable]

BW is more like a late game area

[odd hull]

Alr

[rocky jolt]

today was not a great day for the 5 blackbarrens fans

[cerulean sable]

the who what now

[lusty stump]

Am I not late game? I just need to get the three songs and then I beat act 2 right?

[cerulean sable]

you're more like mid game ngl

like directly mid game

[lusty stump]

Does end game mean act 3 to you

[cerulean sable]

yeah

[odd hull]

Late act 2 yes, but the game is big yk

[cerulean sable]

if youre talking about Act 2 then BW would be late game

especially given you are still at 6 masks

[atomic sparrow]

😭 what happened?

[lusty stump]

Fair. Yeah I should probably do act 3. Been back and forth on 100% and I cba this time around

[rocky jolt]

what happened is that blackbarrens didnt come out as a dlc today

[atomic sparrow]

wtf spoilers! smh!

[rocky jolt]

but nuthin happened

[lusty stump]

Yeah I haven’t even explored archives and cogwork tower thingy

[orchid spruce]

guys, afterimage is 80% off rn

[odd hull]

goddamn

[rocky jolt]

ill only play it if someone gifts me it

[odd hull]

73,99 to 14,79. Hmmm

[unreal ice]

I'm using all my Widow knowledge against First Sinner
The Rune Rage in phase 2 is a bitch

[flat mason]

Where have I seen this before

[orchid spruce]

it's the biggest metroidvania, you could easily sink 50 hours into it

[orchid spruce]

[flat mason]

You can do it

[lusty stump]

How do you know

[rocky jolt]

[rocky jolt]

i just wanna say whoever made central hunters march gauntlet is a bitch

[unreal ice]

It's genuinely one of the easiest gauntlets in the game

[rocky jolt]

if you are in act 2 yes

[unreal ice]

GGs

[rocky jolt]

my name is matthew leth griffin and i will use the face with monocle emoji 🧐

[pastel plank]

tf is that that's fake?

[vestal igloo]

idk what I should say here

[patent warren]

everyone want the dlc to be during act 2/3 but i would love some post end game content

[pastel plank]

you should say "ofc not, this is real, Sea Of Sorrow today"

[orchid spruce]

I guess

[patent warren]

Is the dlc out?

[pastel plank]

It will most likely be accessible in both acts

[pastel plank]

no

[flat mason]

Nooo 😭

There's no release date

[pastel plank]

this is for, as they say, shits and giggles

[flat mason]

I have never seen this one, really cool

[vestal igloo]

mmm maybe

[rocky jolt]

let me climb the spire already team cherry

[patent warren]

Isn't the biggest metroudvania afterimage?

[atomic sparrow]

not yet unfortuneately

[orchid spruce]

yeah, i said so

[patent warren]

Oh i didn't read that sorry

i'm lucky i got it for free thanks to prime gaming

[orchid spruce]

it's 80% off rn so trying to get some more to play

[patent warren]

yeah

it's really good, right now i'm waiting for mina the hollower and aggelos 2 to came out

[flat mason]

There's so many games I'm waiting for aaargh

[pastel plank]

with thunder btw

[patent warren]

although i have to admit, prime gaming gave it for amazon games launcher, and well the only two launcher i truly trust are gog and steam, i do get the epic games free games but i would never buy a game on epic games

[orchid spruce]

never heard of those titles

i think it's a steal anyways at 80% off

[patent warren]

Aggelos is a metroidvania inspired by wonder boy, it's simple but it still nice to play and mina the hollower is made by shovel knight creators, it's a 2d, souls like metroidvania, and i LOVE IT also it's their do or break game, if it goes wrong they'll be in a real bad situation

[orchid spruce]

oof thats rough

[tender swift]

do you guys think itd be worth it to make a completionist act 2 save file for sea of sorrow in case the new content is significantly worse and/or more difficult in my 100% act 3 save?

what if the sea of sorrow stuff is permanently locked out of act 3...

[patent warren]

if something happen to yatch club after they've annunced a new mainline shovel knight game, i will go MAD i NEED to know what happen after, i'm tired of all the shovel knight games to take place during the first one or right before

[orchid spruce]

i was a bit turned off by there being many shovel knight versions

but mina the hollower looks nice

[trim estuary]

wdym there’s only two

well i guess three if you count treasure trove

[orchid spruce]

that's one too many

[patent warren]

except plague of shadows all the other shovel knight games have a different game play and well everything and yet plague of shadow remain my favorite the protagonist and love story is nice

[dreamy nest]

I feel like phantom is easier than last judge

Last judge deals double damage

[patent warren]

i wanted to cosplsy plague knight for the etna comic con but i don't have time so i bought a generic plague doctor cosplay

[patent warren]

She is

by a LOT

[blissful cliff]

Question do people think it would be better to get needlin like currently or it be locked behind cling grip or a simple key?

[odd hull]

Huh

[trim estuary]

specter of torment lowk top 10 games

[odd hull]

Wha

[blissful cliff]

Asking since I am wondering peoples thoughts on the old progression pre 2022

[patent warren]

yeah

[silk monolith]

specter I hardly know her

[atomic sparrow]

I highly HIGHLY doubt it
I wouldn't make another file just for sos, I think that there will be changes if its in act 3 but they're gonna be small stuff

[blissful cliff]

originally it was in weavenest atla, and reached through the aspids (now wormways) or from the wanderer shrine

[orchid spruce]

I think I will try to bag all the S tier metroidvanias first

[odd hull]

Currently is locked by cling grip already, no?
I think a simple key wouldn't work

[blissful cliff]

Anwer is through the aspids you could reach it without cling grip

[patent warren]

but honestly the final boss of king of cards is something else

[blissful cliff]

It was not from widow but from weavenest atla.

[silk monolith]

widow is a great test as well so I like the way we get needolin

[orchid spruce]

💸 no money

[blissful cliff]

When the area used to be 2-3x bigger

[patent warren]

Shovel knight is a platformer not a metroidvania.

[trim estuary]

I think it’s going to be mostly Act 3 exclusive

[orchid spruce]

oh

[trim estuary]

Since Sea of Sorrow will be plasmium related

[blissful cliff]

Do people consider widow harder than sister splinter?

[patent warren]

Plus something very cool about shovel knight is that you buy 1 game but instead they give you 5

[silk monolith]

are people even fighting splinter anymore?

[trim estuary]

I hope SoS is good and in Act 3 because Act 3 desperately needs redeeming qualities since not even Crawfather can carry it all on his back

[dreamy nest]

Yeah. I would say the path itself is easier because after beating Phantom you're directly deposited on to the Citadel bell station, but for Last judge you have to go through a third of Underworks to get to the Citadel

[odd hull]

Eh, the only reason I would do this is to keep my needle on level 2

[trim estuary]

go for treasure trove not the individual games silly

[blissful cliff]

Lost last is the best boss I will die on this hill... But act 3 does need more content.

[orchid spruce]

Voidwrought is on 66% sale

[odd hull]

Of course

[orchid spruce]

Steamlords, stop, my wallet has literally nothing

[dreamy nest]

I hope SoS is act 4

[orchid spruce]

[blissful cliff]

I guess since its minions were nerfed that makes sense

[blissful cliff]

SoS is next to bilewater and is cut/delayed content

[dreamy nest]

And has enough playtime to make good use of the charge attack tool

[patent warren]

and right now it's super discounted

[blissful cliff]

It wont be act 4

[trim estuary]

That’s a rough hill to die on

[odd hull]

I played on release. Sister Splinter isn't allat

[real hearth]

silksong shovel of sorrow

[blissful cliff]

her minions were...

[odd hull]

Nah

[blissful cliff]

But to be fair it only took 5 attampts on release.

[odd hull]

I consider both on my judgement

[silk monolith]

sister splinter is not that hard

[blissful cliff]

I just find widow very easy XD

[silk monolith]

im so hungry

[trim estuary]

I first tried Sister Splinter on release she was too easy even then tbh

[orchid spruce]

isn't this just one of the four games @@

[patent warren]

No shovel of hope has all 5 games

[orchid spruce]

man, i wanna buy voidwrought but i really have zero money

[trim estuary]

Do not purchase the games individually you will miss out on Plague of Shadows

[trim estuary]

No it does not

[patent warren]

maybe for playstation and pc is differemt

[trim estuary]

I can confirm as I own them all individually

[patent warren]

Oh you're right it is different

[silk monolith]

shovel night

[patent warren]

you're right

[orchid spruce]

[odd hull]

They should make a game about that

[silk monolith]

is that hollow's and the's sibling

[orchid spruce]

so why is voidwrought rated so low

[silk monolith]

ong it would be peak

[orchid spruce]

i thought game is an A tier game

[silk monolith]

tier I hardly know her

[orchid spruce]

bruh

[blissful cliff]

anyone have any feedback on any of these?

[orchid spruce]

guru guy puts it 3 ranks above silksong, it can't be that bad

[minor sparrow]

And the main character should be a knight

[patent warren]

wait wait, i'm half wrong, plague of shadow is with shovel of hope

[trim estuary]

they look good

[trim estuary]

No It Is Not

[minor sparrow]

I really like the spool design

[silk monolith]

bone crest?

[blissful cliff]

Well its for a custom crest

[blissful cliff]

Weaver crest.

[patent warren]

No i'm sure about that since it's not in the bundle and everyone say it is

[minor sparrow]

Checks out

[silk monolith]

it looks like a fingerbone

[trim estuary]

I own Shovel Of Hope, Plague Of Shadows is not included

[minor sparrow]

Oh is that supposed to make the Citadel symbol?

[odd hull]

I forgot what I wanted to say, so imagine a cool argument and we end up agreeing

[blissful cliff]

Inspired by hornets leg mainly (Since it revolves around using silk and limbs instead of the needle)

[trim estuary]

PoS is TT exclusive

[minor sparrow]

Oh

[silk monolith]

2 red 2 blue 2 yellow slots and a skill?

[patent warren]

hmm people on reddit are lying how unusual

[dreamy nest]

Okay I just started Act 2, what are some new things that are unlocked in earlier areas before I explore the Citadel proper?

[blissful cliff]

A less polished version. (some lines have been tweaked)

[silk monolith]

oh did not expect that lmaoo

[orchid spruce]

why would reddit lie

they're my most credible source of information

[trim estuary]

Reddit doesn’t even say that I just checked three different threads

[silk monolith]

2 silks is new

[blissful cliff]

I have been working on it on the modding discord for awhile

[orchid spruce]

[patent warren]

if you don't have money i advice aggelos 1, it's a good metroidvania and i got it for like 90 cents

[minor sparrow]

The design looks cooler when you can see the slots lowkey

[blissful cliff]

Its primary gimic is double silk gen but every attack uses half a silk

[odd hull]

There's nothing new from the get-go.

[silk monolith]

I like it 2 skills is a nice idea very fun

[blissful cliff]

(I just havent bothered to readd them to the tweaved version yet)

[minor sparrow]

Reaper if its mechanic worked

[blissful cliff]

Basically its meant to compete with shamen

[orchid spruce]

I honestly don't like that kind of retro pixel artstyle. And also, it looks like it'll feature the true save system. A lot of pixel metroidvanias do that

[blissful cliff]

[patent warren]

kinda like benches in hollow knight and silksong

[trim estuary]

like wdym i can cheese moving around the world in a metroidvania by exiting to menu to return to my last bench

[orchid spruce]

you lose all kinds of progress when you die, no?

[odd hull]

You prefer fake save systems?? Not so based now, huh.

Anyways

[orchid spruce]

that's what i mean by true save, like. game is saved if and only if you save at a bench

[patent warren]

yeah

no wait

[orchid spruce]

then I'll never play it

[patent warren]

if you die no, but if you quit yes

It's not a rogue

[orchid spruce]

oh so like poptlc, that's more tolerable

[minor sparrow]

DISCORD RELEASE ME

[patent warren]

i hate rogue

[orchid spruce]

no, not rogue... like you're at savestate A when you save, even if you progress to state B, if you die, you're reset to savestate A

[patent warren]

You don't even lose money if you die in aggelos

[orchid spruce]

ok that's gud

[blissful cliff]

Crest of the Weaver "Weave silk into your attacks, gaining silk rapidly" (Bind a corpse of a weaver, at a shrine in Mt. Fay, late act 2 or act 3 exclusive) [Mt. Fay had a cut crest shrine]

Gameplay changes: Silk generation is doubled for when you land a hit, but every melee attack drains 1/2 a silk. (Gain 2 per hit but uses 1/2 of one for the attack) (when out of silk you use the naked/crestless move-set) Missed attacks will always use silk, but parried attacks and spike object/hazard bouncing have there used silk refunded.

Is a summery of the crests effects

what if the final fight was against a Weaver Leviathan

[patent warren]

oh wow the wardrobe is 90% discounted one of my favorite game, the funniest game i ever played

[trim estuary]

ds1 lowkey has some of the worst level design ever

[flat mason]

Am I right

[orchid spruce]

damn it's dirt cheap

[flat mason]

and this one is a souls-like hidden gem

[patent warren]

yeah especially in part 2, like i played elden ring before ds1, the enemis felt slow and easy but the level design, the archer of anor londo, the tomb of the giants

[orchid spruce]

trueeeeee

[patent warren]

i don't advice it if you're not italian

[trim estuary]

ts the real hidden gem metroidvanias

[orchid spruce]

???

[orchid spruce]

all i heard about steamworld dig is that it's boring and mid

[patent warren]

I got both for under 1€

[orchid spruce]

[flat mason]

Anor Londo is such a disappointment. But I really like DS1 overall

[patent warren]

I heard good and bad things

[patent warren]

The dlc is great though

[orchid spruce]

which side are you on

[patent warren]

idk i never played it

[flat mason]

Yeah. Manus is the goat there

[patent warren]

but i do like the steam punk vibes from the covers

[trim estuary]

yeah it’s (mainly) platforming not combatslop

[orchid spruce]

i love combat 🙁

[patent warren]

might i advice nine sols?

[orchid spruce]

what's nine sols, it sounds mid

[trim estuary]

truth nuke

[trim estuary]

nine sols gameplay feels like rubbing the ends of cardboard together

[orchid spruce]

trueee

[patent warren]

did you play blasphemous 1

[orchid spruce]

i tried twice but dropped both times out of frustration

my impression is that it has excellent art direction and mid-terrible gameplay

blasphemous 2 had great gameplay but art direction fell off a cliff

[trim estuary]

you must love dead cells then

[orchid spruce]

i have 5 hours on dead cells, last played 2 months ago

[patent warren]

what about the ori games?

[orchid spruce]

i'm kinda playing ori 2 (shelving it)
ori 1, i dropped because of the abysmal non-existent combat which was an instant deal-breaker for me

[patent warren]

or salt and sanctuary?

Or ender lilies

[orchid spruce]

salt and sanctuary, i played looong ago but got frustrated but that was back when i suck at games and know nothing

oh i love ender lilies

[flat mason]

PEAK PEAK PEAK

The best metroidvania ever

[orchid spruce]

false nuke

[flat mason]

It is

[orchid spruce]

the best metroidvania ever is constance

[flat mason]

I hated constance before it was mainstream

[floral delta]

Aw hell nah

[trim estuary]

Real

[orchid spruce]

[flat mason]

Played the demo. Wasn't very promising

Anyways

[orchid spruce]

it has a niche i suppose

ori 1 players will probably like it

[flat mason]

I see

[patent warren]

i'm tired of advicing only metroidvanias here some other games, bramble and the mountain king, shovel knight shovel of hope, first berserker kazhaan, 8 bit adventure 2 are all games i advice and i love

[flat mason]

bramble, huh?

[orchid spruce]

8 BIT ADVENTURE?

[orchid spruce]

oh, mine is called OneBit Adventure

[patent warren]

Returning to metroidvanias, i heard the ice palace 2 and Mandragora are good, many say mandragora is the skyrim of metroidvanias

[patent warren]

The 2

[trim estuary]

is it time to glaze Lunacid

[patent warren]

No it's bramble the mountain king

[flat mason]

Ik I just need any excuse to talk about this

[patent warren]

bo path of the teal lotus is really fun too

[orchid spruce]

bo looks like it'd dwarf in the shadows of nine sols, is that true

[patent warren]

I saw it a bunch of times while searching for the mountain king, what's it about?

[orchid spruce]

they seem quite similar in many aspects

[patent warren]

Not at all, bo is way more about platforming

[trim estuary]

It’s Rusted Moss 2

[flat mason]

Quite like it

[orchid spruce]

[patent warren]

What's rusted moss?

[trim estuary]

Idk lmfao I haven’t played it

[orchid spruce]

you go girl, advertise your favourite game, i won't say a thing

[flat mason]

Thank god

[orchid spruce]

[trim estuary]

Afterimage mysteriously appeared in my Steam library yesterday what does this mean

[orchid spruce]

Almost like it was just an afterimage

[patent warren]

something similar happened to me with a game called heavy rain

[trim estuary]

Jason!

[orchid spruce]

rusted moss has very cool and interesting grappling hook mechanics

[flat mason]

Well, Iron Bramble (and Rusted Moss) is a metroidvania with a focus on momentum based movement and creative platforming. You got a elastic grapple, stretch it and you're sent 100m/s in the other direction; If you shoot a shotgun in the air, you gain more speed, if you bunnyhop you can sustain said acceleration, etc.

[orchid spruce]

i would have loved it if it didn't have true save system, which you seem totally fine with

[trim estuary]

Is it like the 2D version of the Fortnite Spider-Man webslingers

[orchid spruce]

yeus

but you actually have to use brain

[patent warren]

I heard that aeterna noctis is the hardest metroidvania ever made, is that true?

[orchid spruce]

i don't think anyone here played noctis

[patent warren]

i'm just taking everything in to make my gsme, kinda like a black hole

[trim estuary]

make your game in clickteam fusion 2.5 you will regret it 🙏

[orchid spruce]

black hole? grime reference?!!

[patent warren]

Arleady usuing aseprite and godot

[orchid spruce]

It's also very puzzlely in a lot of ways

[trim estuary]

that’s goat

[orchid spruce]

It's a game I would recommend if you don't mind truesave

[patent warren]

i got two metroidvanias that i heard were some of the best and based around puzzles but i can't remember their names

[orchid spruce]

Animal well?

[flat mason]

Urgh I only have records from the hardest challenge of the game

Anyways, cool stuff

[patent warren]

Oh right how could I forget, the first ever game i played, my favorite matroidvania of all time for many reasons, the shantae saga

[stable mica]

skong and the game above

in my country they have an entire 1 dollar difference

[pastel plank]

is this blasphemous but not?

[flat mason]

They cost the same for me

[trim estuary]

I don’t think they’re anything alike actually

[void moat]

moss doesnt rust 0/10 game

[stable mica]

yea in my country its: skong 220k and that game is 260k

I'm just looking at the logo hahaha

Uh, no

[pastel plank]

oh I see

[stable mica]

damn u

my life is ruined! I got doxxed

[pastel plank]

why is it R$?

[orchid spruce]

anyways, its because different games have different regional pricing

[trim estuary]

Because I was lying

[pastel plank]

Don't rupees have their own symbol?

[stable mica]

they have the same price

[orchid spruce]

[pastel plank]

ah

u seems abit too professional

[pastel plank]

should I not play it?

[stable mica]

[flat mason]

This game is so goated

[void moat]

im sure it’s a good game, havent played it though

[trim estuary]

Lmao

[pastel plank]

well personally I think a 19$ game that is not comperable in quality to Silksong would already be a dissapointment for me personally

[trim estuary]

Silksong sucks so that’s pretty easy

[stable mica]

hence the name

[void moat]

silksong is just really solid valuewise, but $20 for an indie game is still fine

[orchid spruce]

now i have to play rusted moss to put it above silksong

[stable mica]

thats the neat thnig, u cant

[flat mason]

@pastel plank check the trailers

[pastel plank]

true

[orchid spruce]

why cant i

[trim estuary]

I’m all genuine until I say something you disagree with… you people sicken me…

[flat mason]

Depends on your preferences. Imo Rusted Moss is way better than Silksong

[pastel plank]

Wow interesting

Gotta check it out

[stable mica]

idk

[stable mica]

is this sarcasm?

[pastel plank]

no this is a ragebaiter

they bait the rage of er

wtf is that

[orchid spruce]

ragebaiter i hardly know her

[stable mica]

i think either he rage or he gaslighting me into believeing that he didnt know i was sarcastic

[flat mason]

They are fundamentally different yk

[stable mica]

is this a mind game

[timid sky]

skull tyrants body

[pastel plank]

I'm baiting you to think I don't understand the sarcasm of the message asking if it's sarcasm in a meta-ironic way, which in turn is a response to a ragebait comeback

[stable mica]

a dramatic game of the mind

[orchid spruce]

Silksong is an A tier game, good but crazy overrated

[stable mica]

anyways maybe i should go cracked some more metroidvanias

[pastel plank]

true but why so preposterously laughable shaped

[stable mica]

which is basically everygame

[orchid spruce]

ahem, do you need some recommendations

[stable mica]

i alr have, prob Rusted Moss, i wanna buy 9 Sols instead of cracking it tho

[pastel plank]

I have only played blasphemous and haiku the robot

[stable mica]

MIO is unplayable im not dropping my resolution whatsoever

[pastel plank]

Oh and crypt cleaner or something like that

crypt custodian

[flat mason]

Crypt cleaner looks so cute

[orchid spruce]

sure 😊

[flat mason]

Yeah that one

[orchid spruce]

but it's gonna be a while until 9S goes on sale again

[flat mason]

ownttt

[pastel plank]

Yeah, I mean it's DEFINITELY not the type of game you would pick up for the combat hahaha

[stable mica]

anyways what game should i crack

[pastel plank]

but overall it's a fun experience

[orchid spruce]

hmmm

[flat mason]

I see I see

[stable mica]

enlighten me

[pastel plank]

There are some super op things that just make combat spamming hahahaah

[orchid spruce]

what do you want from a metroidvania?

[flat mason]

I need more metroidvanias that go full on bullet hell

[pastel plank]

do not crack games

[stable mica]

playable performance

[flat mason]

Ahhhh

[stable mica]

fine i will steal

[orchid spruce]

how much do you care about exploration/platforming/combat/story?

[flat mason]

& visuals

[orchid spruce]

sure and art direction

[pastel plank]

pirattee

[flat mason]

yaaay

[stable mica]

the combat and platforming should be fun, story have good story telling and the story it self is good and impactful, exploration is pretty much just needs to be fun.

visuals? I alr said before

playable performance

[orchid spruce]

this guy is 100% future nine sols fan lmao

he just described nine sols

[pastel plank]

I would probably recommend blasphemous, but personally I don't really like the way they explain the lore

[stable mica]

unc i dont know ninesols

havent got spoiled which is lucky

[orchid spruce]

im just saying it suits you perfectly

[stable mica]

i hope

[flat mason]

I love this game so much, man.

[stable mica]

cuz i dont even know m self that well...

[trim wedge]

nine sols platforming is underwhelming tho

[pastel plank]

celeste type shi

[flat mason]

FR

This one is on an optional area, so is way harder

[orchid spruce]

is the windy area supposed to be hard

[flat mason]

But base game is really cool too

[pastel plank]

I like the way it looks

[timid sky]

because skull

[pastel plank]

I don't like how none of the enemies or areas really make that much sense

I played it right after silksong, and the difference is super drastic

there enemies feel kinda random as if they weren't even really tied to any specific area

[trim wedge]

it's really clunky as well

[orchid spruce]

here is your free back for viewing an image on the internet for free

it's cuz i have astigmatism so have trouble reading white text on black screens sometimes

Oh

[pallid flare]

then there's a deactivate option

[analog forge]

why dont they call it weather?

[pallid flare]

that's windows for you

[nimble pebble]

What's #sk-discussion This is #Tech-Support

[chilly nexus]

first it was a nutritionist channel

[nimble pebble]

[cloud pike]

can't wait until someone makes the gun mod for silksong

[pallid flare]

another person helped

[chilly nexus]

who wants some lore

[nimble pebble]

Guillotine mode to chop off the monarchy's head

[pallid flare]

that option wasn't there when the update first released

[analog forge]

Hollowpoint:SingleShot

[nimble pebble]

Chop Chop

[pallid flare]

you had to edit some registry values to remove it

[analog forge]

If the eventual spiritual sequel to the gun mod isnt called single shot and doesnt give hornet a sniper im rioting

[chilly nexus]

give hornet samus' hand cannon

[nimble pebble]

Silksong is the friends we made along the way

[chilly nexus]

and the same pose for aiming a rocket

and the little ball move where it's just hornet's head and skirt rolling around like the subscriber's cover for edge

[cloud pike]

"I would put on the doom ost and become the hollow slayer" me, doing POH

[nimble pebble]

It's been a hot minute since I've seen someone type PoH instead of p5

[analog forge]

PoH sounds like poo

which is true™️

[cloud pike]

THeory: there's a chance we might spend a little time in Hallownest during silksong

i mean team cherry can't just leave that world behind

[tawdry valley]

They very much can

[nimble pebble]

Yes they can

[pallid flare]

of course they can

[nimble pebble]

TC is not obligated to make a connection between HK and SS

[cloud pike]

it'd be neat tho

[pallid flare]

it's called Hollow Knight: Silksong

[analog forge]

we already have a connection, we get a whole ass cutscene

[nimble pebble]

For all we know SS will not be a Prequel or Sequel it'll just exist

Cause that's just how TC is

[nimble pebble]

Same franchise doesn't necessitate a need for a strong connection to hallownest

That's like saying Batman needs to meet Superman every Saturday because they're both in the DC universe

[pallid flare]

well do they?

[rapid topaz]

TC cutscenes are so good

[nimble pebble]

Last I checked no

[pallid flare]

that would sound so good tho

[nimble pebble]

ikr?

[worthy lichen]

being in the same franchise doesn't mean they have to have a strong connection to the other game, but it doesn't mean they can't be connected at all

i hope i didnt mess that up

[rapid topaz]

The main connection to me is : it's about a kingdom of bugs

[nimble pebble]

The main connection is it's same universe

[rapid topaz]

obvisously lol

[pallid flare]

main connection: hornte

[nimble pebble]

The connection between HK and SS is that Hornet gets nabbed from Hallownest

Since SS is its own story with its own characters and own mechanics and can easily be a stand alone game there's no need for an overdrawn comparison to the previous game

[stark estuary]

The other connection is that mace bug is the final boss

[worthy lichen]

yeah but the clifhanger of the godhome ending still hurts me

like what if it's connected... probably isn't, but what if?

[nimble pebble]

Well, too bad because TC is never ever going to address it again

[stark estuary]

That's never ever going to be expanded upon, probably

[nimble pebble]

[mortal grove]

hornet probably beat the living crap out of thk

[stark estuary]

Why

[nimble pebble]

We literally had an entire discussion earlier as to why that wouldn't happen

[worthy lichen]

i know and that's why it hurts

[vivid belfry]

Counterpoint: the silksong demo checks your computer to see if you have an abandoned genocide run of hollow knight

[rapid topaz]

that's why it's a good cutscene
It doesn't need to be explained and this leads to imagination

(the cliffhanger)

[stark estuary]

It leads to speculation*

[tawdry valley]

Why end cutscenes won’t be expanded upon (in SS)

#hk-discussion message

[rapid topaz]

yeah thanks

[nimble pebble]

TC is lining things up

Make all endings canon, probably won't elaborate SS position in the timeline probably won't put it in the same time line

That's how wacky they are

[vivid belfry]

Won't put what in the same timeline

[nimble pebble]

HK and SS

Wouldn't put it past them ngl

[vivid belfry]

I mean the fact that silksong's plot setup is referenced in HK goes against that idea

[tawdry valley]

I don’t think that would be the case. If they did want to do something that, they could just leave the question of “is this before or after HK” unanswered.

[nimble pebble]

They did

it's unanswered

[tawdry valley]

I imagine playing the game would lead to more insight, but we can agree to disagree

[nimble pebble]

A game that is being made to be standalone most likely won't

aside from certain things specific to hornet

But not HK as a whole

SS is not under any obligation to pander to HK's story which is different from SS's

[vivid belfry]

Literally all it would take is one member of hornet's extended adopted family of weavers to mention herrah and hornet mentioning her death

Which is the most likely plot point of HK to be relevant

[stark estuary]

What? I thought we were gonna fight the Shade Lord with THK as our companion? Scam.

[pallid flare]

I wish

[vivid belfry]

SCUM

[formal karma]

no way is that happening kirb

[pallid flare]

as always, lazy devs smh my head

[stark estuary]

Yeah, cos the game sucks.

[formal karma]

.>

[minor crypt]

Still waiting for silksong

[drifting ice]

ss is like the new elden ring

[minor crypt]

Basically yeah

Honestly I wouldn’t mind so much if they just posted more

[pallid flare]

wdym?

their one post for 6 months is fine

[minor crypt]

[vagrant umbra]

It’s July bro, that would 7 months.

[pallid flare]

oops

[minor crypt]

Was that the article

[pallid flare]

apwot is coming soon

[minor crypt]

Tf is that

[floral kindle]

some kind of snack

[barren roost]

oh that reminds me in three days my bet will be secured as safe, if they had released news up until then I would still have to write an essay

[stiff burrow]

A profound waste of time
Magazine with a tc interview

[nimble pebble]

SS would never come out if they updated us every 5 seconds, I'd rather they put that time into making the game

[stiff burrow]

Not ss focused tho

[barren roost]

silknever joke

[minor crypt]

Yeah they don’t have to wait 7 fucking months to put out news though

[nimble pebble]

Usually it's only 6

They're planning something

[barren roost]

this brings you to what point

[minor crypt]

They should try to keep their fan base in the loop

I’m not asking for weekly, or hell even monthly updates

[pallid flare]

we know that they're working on it

[barren roost]

why would we have monthly updates
I think two a year is fine
but if you want monthly updates, playtesters often note the game is still in development

[minor crypt]

I disagree

[coarse leaf]

Team cherry brainwashed you

[barren roost]

I need a red pill, quick!

[minor crypt]

I’m fully confident that they are working on it but just think about how little we know besides that

[barren roost]

oh look, it's cheesoid!

[tribal merlin]

if there's newsworthy stuff they'll tell us about it
but they're not gonna start to regularly spoil parts of the game

[barren roost]

I agree
remember how much of HK was spoiled by weekly updates?

[minor crypt]

Dude I would be happy if they just said anything

[pallid flare]

imagine if ari or william came in here and just said "anything"

[tribal merlin]

they said no SS at E3 and that was only a few weeks ago
you're welcome

[barren roost]

graig would be the one to do that

[minor crypt]

[formal karma]

their proxies tell us "development is going fine' so that's enough

[coarse leaf]

Is Leth the only dev that actually talks here

[pallid flare]

that would be boring tho

[minor crypt]

[formal karma]

there is literally nothing else that needs to be said

[pallid flare]

he wasn't here for a while

probably got lunch now

[coarse leaf]

By enough you mean bare minimum lol

[formal karma]

no- i mean the game is being made, that's perfectly adequate

[minor crypt]

Honestly at this point the bare minimum is better than nothing

[coarse leaf]

It is adequate but it would be nice to have more instead of being dark

[formal karma]

we're not really in the dark, though.....

[minor crypt]

How are we not?

[coarse leaf]

What info do we have other than that development is going well

And pls don’t bring up those year old riddles

[opaque sigil]

The "everything we know about silksong" document in pins is like 113 pages long. stfu

[formal karma]

that the game will eventually be released and so long as you're not staring at a screen and doing nothing while you wait, it'll be amazing

^that right there is all you really need

[minor crypt]

Nonononono you forgot the like 4 enemies teased

[coarse leaf]

You say that like those small details are something to be happy about

[formal karma]

hahahaha

[opaque sigil]

You say that like they aren't

[minor crypt]

Cause they aren’t

[coarse leaf]

They aren’t to me

[formal karma]

so you want something along the lines of "today on our 99th update in a game about exploration, here's the full game map"

[chilly nexus]

what's the latest on apwot again?

[opaque sigil]

And if you are under the illusion that they are insignificant details, you clearly haven't actually seen them

[minor crypt]

Hardly

[pallid flare]

or "well here's our weekly update, we worked on enemy #186, cherry out"

[coarse leaf]

If we’re talking truth here that’s better than nothing

[minor crypt]

Honestly that would be enough for me

Just too feel like an active community member again

[pallid flare]

but there's no information in that message

[opaque sigil]

Now that is pointless

[pallid flare]

it's quite literally just empty speech

[minor crypt]

I don’t really care

[pallid flare]

people would be complain that it's not enough

[opaque sigil]

Pointless info < no info

[minor crypt]

I would prefer it to dead silence

[pallid flare]

well most don't. (including TC)

[coarse leaf]

That’s literally what we have now tho

[opaque sigil]

Subjective. We have information on setting, areas, mechanics, design philosophy, etc

[pallid flare]

read the edge article, i beg you

[minor crypt]

I’m losing braincells by the minute

Wow, you’re right that’s a lot to take in

I should thank you

[minor crypt]

Holy shit dude I might have to take a few hours to process that whole sentence

[coarse leaf]

Same I didn’t know we would have that kid of information

[formal karma]

do you two want me to call a waaaaaambulance?

[minor crypt]

Well according to this dude we supposedly have vast archives of silksong data

[pallid flare]

we do

[opaque sigil]

Anyways, I'm about done with this fallacious bullshit

[pallid flare]

much more than the "deafening silence" many of you complain about

[coarse leaf]

I don’t know what you’re calling it for after I thanked you

I wasn’t even complaining I just said it would be nice to have more 💀

[minor crypt]

Same here

[coarse leaf]

Y’all gonna jump at me like I said team cherry was a trash dev team

[pallid flare]

we have loads

[olive bobcat]

So what happened here

[minor crypt]

I fully trust TC’s work process and their ability to make a great game

[pallid flare]

complainer

[minor crypt]

I would like to know a little more though

[olive bobcat]

Doesn't look that way to me

Seems like people just want more info, which is understandable

[coarse leaf]

Yeah if you call that complaining I’m just going to let you have it

[pallid flare]

it is

[opaque sigil]

The assertion that the current information is meaningless and insufficient is a complaint

[pallid flare]

but it's quite something to insult someone who told you how much info we have, no?

[coarse leaf]

No point of arguing with someone who doesn’t know what the definition on “complaining” is

[chilly nexus]

we're getting apwot late july, you can check it on their website. there's even a blurb on hungry knight

[opaque sigil]

APWOT isn't about silksong

[formal karma]

still info, though

[pallid flare]

not solely about silksong

[chilly nexus]

it's about TC, which is still fantastic

[minor crypt]

Damn I didn’t expect to get jumped by a team cherry flash mob cause I want more information

[opaque sigil]

If it has anything about SS it'll be about as old as the last blogpost

[pallid flare]

why do I even go here

honestly what is this

[hidden steeple]

Sometimes I just come here out of habit

[chilly nexus]

late julyyyyy

[pallid flare]

I completely understand how annoying the silence is but that's all we have

you can't get more by complaining so just wait like everyone else

[minor crypt]

A reasonable request for a little more info on silksong

[olive bobcat]

I come here out of boredom

[chilly nexus]

i do think they'll mention the state of SS. it's just not a featurette like edge

[hidden steeple]

And that too

[pallid flare]

I honestly like the people here

[opaque sigil]

It ain't a request if the people you're making it to can't change things

[minor crypt]

I come out of my coffin once a month to check for silksong news

[formal karma]

also, pretending the info we have is worthless is pretty yikers

[tribal merlin]

if there was important news you'd get a ping from this channel

[pallid flare]

reading edge might satisfy that itch for now

[formal karma]

i mean.... if SS has as many bossess as HK, we know 25% of the bossess...

[pallid flare]

as many just haven't and choose to ignore it

[minor crypt]

Not worthless just scarce

[chilly nexus]

edge definitely reinforces grandeur and makes you want SS that much more

[pallid flare]

like news would

[formal karma]

so, like all news

[pallid flare]

All in all, just go read edge or play something else, we'll be waiting here

[minor crypt]

Duuuuude

[olive bobcat]

If you want new stuff so much why don't you just make some like I do

[minor crypt]

You seem to misunderstand that I don’t want that much information

[pallid flare]

you still want information though

[minor crypt]

Yup

[pallid flare]

exactly

[tribal merlin]

unfortunately nobody here is in the position to want 🙂

[pallid flare]

we all hope here

[olive bobcat]

I was directing it towards the other guy mainly

[minor crypt]

I guess that’s some kind of silksong sin

[pallid flare]

every really hyped game has this

[tribal merlin]

most regulars think we got enough information and don't want to get spoiled more

[pallid flare]

can't do anything about it, so why not just embrace it?

[minor crypt]

Whatever man it seems like we just have a different opinion on the matter

[pallid flare]

indeed, we are discussing this

guess in what channel you are

[opaque sigil]

"enough information" is a pretty loose term, we're way past the "enough" point

[minor crypt]

We’re discussing it cause you started an argument

[pallid flare]

yeah

[coarse leaf]

Bro why are y’all still arguing about this

[viral pivot]

i just came in here but i think the main thing that really matters to people rn is an actual release date

[minor crypt]

Cause I have nothing better to do

[coarse leaf]

Understandable

[chilly nexus]

how about, instead of discussing entitlement and righteousness, we discuss, tools

[pallid flare]

same

[spark pine]

Any news really would be incredible

[minor crypt]

Yeah basically

[opaque sigil]

That has never not been true

[tribal merlin]

yeah people want a release date and there's not gonna be one for a while, that's where we're at

[formal karma]

i honestly enjoying arguments more than "do you think that the State of Play will have info?" people

[chilly nexus]

or who wants lore

[pallid flare]

wait have they arrived already?

[formal karma]

oh, yea they did

[pallid flare]

time to increment my counter again

[chilly nexus]

i made a mind map. you'll ahve to watch the trailer on your own though, i didn't include the supplementary evidence

[slate wagon]

lore

[viral pivot]

whats State of play

[opaque sigil]

Isn't state of play an xbox thing?

[pallid flare]

basically a ps4 direct

[minor crypt]

I don’t really want any lore

[pallid flare]

or so I think what it is

[viral pivot]

but its not coming out on those consoles on release...?

[opaque sigil]

bruh why would it be there lmao

[pallid flare]

that's the thing

[formal karma]

"hmmm, do I think that a news reel focusing on a platform that isn't a launch platform for SS will have SS info just because it has the word 'indie' in it?"

[stark estuary]

Why would they drop a release date at state of play

[opaque sigil]

Why would state of play even let them

[formal karma]

because they passed up E3 to be there kirb, duh

[coarse leaf]

Source: me

[viral pivot]

XD basically

[spark pine]

I’m really not a big fan of how team cherry are going about giving information about silksong, they gave us a ton at first which got everyone really hyped but now it’s just complete radio silence

[viral pivot]

nah its been pretty spread out

[coarse leaf]

Literally only been 6 months, it's not that bad lol

[tribal merlin]

it's not "complete radio silence" tho, is it

[formal karma]

how on earth is edge radio silence, I don'y understand

[spark pine]

Just small updates

[stark estuary]

Silksong wasn't at E3 because it's going to be at E4

[formal karma]

but then again, 4 days after edge the channel was already back to 'silknevers'
