Oh no no 😂 now it looks bad

[pallid flare]

this looks really bad without context

[barren roost]

yep

[normal hinge]

ok

[barren roost]

I can only assume grimm pfps perpetually sip wine and always deny being drunk as hell

[haughty brook]

I prefer to imagine Grimm pfps smoke 10 packs of cigarette per day just to sound like him.

[pallid flare]

se- ach- the lung cancer is kicking in agai-

[pallid flare]

they're gonna have kids and give them some stranger too

[normal hinge]

yes you are

fucking internet

[barren roost]

I sure hope crowsworn gets funded by then!

[pallid flare]

geez, they better get going

[barren roost]

ignore the top bit

[normal hinge]

200k is the boss rush right?

[barren roost]

it got met
it's measured in canadian dollars

[normal hinge]

how much is a

[pallid flare]

man i wish it had paypal support

[barren roost]

80 percent of a USD

[pallid flare]

just let me pay

[normal hinge]

worth less

[barren roost]

they're worth less, meaning you have to pay more

[coarse leaf]

zote😔

[barren roost]

thanks for the words of wisdom

it's just epiquer's about me

but sure

[cunning geode]

its not that big of a deal

in this case

so dont worry

we volunteer

we do not get paid

[atomic iris]

hello my fellow silksong enthusiasts 👋 any news since the magazine coverage?

[narrow vault]

no

also I am back

[mortal bluff]

The news that there will be news late July we don’t know how much. It could just be a passing sentences on silksong.

[pallid flare]

?sspsa

[thin zephyr]

Reminder: The latest news for both Hollow Knight and Silksong is in #hk-announcements.
Check the pinned messages for more information, including a FAQ.

[atomic iris]

that sounds promising at the very least, but what‘s the source?

[normal hinge]

trust

[mortal bluff]

Give me a sec

[haughty brook]

The APWOT magazine will have an interview with TC talking about their history, I don't think we will have much SS news like with Edge.

[atomic iris]

thanks for info! have a nice day

[green fulcrum]

Any SS news is enough for me

[tawdry valley]

There is no Silksong news in the new edge magazine

You may expect 20 minute videos covering the SS news on the magazine within 24 hours.

[haughty brook]

I mean, there was information, screenshots and even a look for a new boss.

[green fulcrum]

I was saying that I’m desperate for news

[pallid flare]

what are those

[tough glen]

Me misclicking and wondering why there are memes and discussion of SS news in #hk-lore

[tawdry valley]

You say that like it’s not a thing that happens in #hk-lore

[waxen badger]

unpopular opinion: Edge magazine was hardly "news", just info about the game that would have been revealed at release anyway

[pallid flare]

i think i know why it's unpopular

[analog forge]

thats uh, what news is, africk

What news is is new info.
hence the term "news"

[pallid flare]

exactly

[tawdry valley]

Yeah. It’s but is not out yet. So.

[olive bobcat]

I'm pretty sure all info about the game would have been revealed at release

[haughty brook]

I think they think "news" is just a release date.

[hollow terrace]

It’s news because it’s new developments added to silksong

BOOM

[pallid flare]

thank you window

[olive bobcat]

The hero we need but don't deserve

[analog forge]

exactly.
New info is the only meaningful news that they can even give us, since they cant announce delays, they prolly wont announce team drama, and they certainly arent gonna announce major setbacks that barely anyone understands

so the only news they CAN give is info about the game

Mods are not gods, please do not idolize them as such
its kinda really uncomfortable

[pallid flare]

all hail the mods

[hasty fiber]

hey guys how's hell doing

[vestal wagon]

Ayo why does hornet not gave knees?

[nimble pebble]

What

[hasty fiber]

understandable, have a day

[vestal wagon]

The knight/hornets lef movements look way too fluid and the way legs are drawn you can't see knees. You can tell there ate joints there, but no visible knees that protrude outward.

[pallid flare]

this is huge

[vestal wagon]

Hol up lemme show an example

On second thought no. Taking a picture of my own knee is harder than I thought

[wary marlin]

Silksong

[serene chasm]

#knee-lore

[vestal wagon]

But you know how your knees bulge outward a little bit? Hornet has joints, but they don't bulge like regular knees.

[pallid flare]

i mean, quirrel has knees

[vestal wagon]

Well they're bending something.

[barren roost]

void

[vestal wagon]

But knees have that squishy part at the top that you can move

[pallid flare]

knee caps?

[vestal wagon]

Ok, so apparantly discord marks my knee as explicit content so I can't send it

[analog forge]

Hornet does not have knees
she has elbows

She has 4 elbows

[pallid flare]

get that thing outta here

[vestal wagon]

Yes. The knee caps. If hornet has knees, then where are the knee caps?

[pallid flare]

do bugs even have knee caps?

[analog forge]

Bugs have exoskeletons. kneecaps are the result of... not having exoskeletons

im sure theres a word for that.

[vestal wagon]

I love how there's so litle silksong to talk about that we know bring up knee cap lore

[nimble pebble]

Does it matter if HK bugs have knees, it's not exactly accurate to irl bug biology

[pallid flare]

it is

[analog forge]

But like i said, its all irrelevent anyhow, since what hornet has isnt legs, but rather arms that she uses for locomotion

[pallid flare]

it means everything to us

[nimble pebble]

I'd like to see which irl bug shoots searing hot spells

[analog forge]

Introvertedness- the act of having your skeleton inside your body

[nimble pebble]

If that's the case I have a very inside my body skeleton

[vestal wagon]

The grenadier beetle shoots acid iirc.

[analog forge]

as apposed to extroverts, who have it outside their body

[pallid flare]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_beetle

sorry for embed

[vestal wagon]

Nevermind they posted it

[haughty brook]

Is just the "simple" artsyle used in the games why we have the wierd arms/legs shape, there is no deeper meaning.

[nimble pebble]

That's not a spell, that's just acid

[analog forge]

ur mum has a "simple" art style hur

[pallid flare]

same thing

[nimble pebble]

It's not

[vestal wagon]

Acid witchcraft

[analog forge]

to a bug, acid might as well be a spell

[vestal wagon]

Don't kill our knee cap lore please. Let us have some fun

[nimble pebble]

Vengeful spirit, Desolate dive, howling wraiths isn't anything a normal irl bug can do

[vestal wagon]

There are bugs that can make irritating and loud noises. That might as well be howling wraiths

[pallid flare]

i mean, there seems to be some kind of realism in here

[vestal wagon]

Vengeful spirit is just acid

[pallid flare]

however obtuse it is

[nimble pebble]

Thee's vague similarity but it's not at all accurate at all

[pallid flare]

out of the what deepnest bugs?

[nimble pebble]

TC has even admitted to this

So idk why you're trying to make excuses and do mental gymnastics for this

[pallid flare]

we're having fun

[haughty brook]

Sus?

[pallid flare]

making sense of stuff that doesn't

[nimble pebble]

Fair enough

[analog forge]

What nosk has isnt a ribcage, since its outside the body not in.
Its just spikes that has been stretched out into a "ribcage" by infection

[nimble pebble]

Nosk just uses the infection to be an even better predator

[analog forge]

Ribcages, notablly, arent outside the body, generally

[vestal wagon]

They said the bugs aren't going to be anatomically accurate. Doesn't mean some of the things they do can't be inspired by real bug abilities. Albeit exaggerated slightly.

[pallid flare]

nosk is one of the like two example where a bug uses the infection to their advantage

idk where i was going with this

[nimble pebble]

Nosk can produce silk seen by it hanging up bugs in its lair

[marsh ibex]

What

[nimble pebble]

It's what deepnest bugs have in common, silk production

[pallid flare]

ho boy #hk-lore is gonna kill me

[nimble pebble]

[marsh ibex]

every infected bug uses the infection to their advantage

It makes em stronger lmao

[nimble pebble]

indeed

[pallid flare]

i dont know what words to use

[marsh ibex]

it definitely is

[nimble pebble]

However irl bugs have exoskeletons not bones which is a big thing about the fiction side of things

[pallid flare]

traitor lord became infected just to become stronger instead of the other way around

[glossy gazelle]

I think what Pyro is saying is Nosk willingly embraced the infection

[pallid flare]

in a way, yea

[marsh ibex]

We know that because we’re told that

[hushed wasp]

Hm

[vestal wagon]

They're all spiders. Except for the centipedes and silverfish

[hushed wasp]

Interesting chat yes very

[glossy gazelle]

Well I mean he’s smart enough to disguise as other bugs

So he has some manner of intellect

[pallid flare]

nosk seems to be pretty smart to me

[nimble pebble]

They're never explicitly called spiders, in fact it's first mention in the franchise is in Silksong

[haughty brook]

I don't think Nosk is one of the "human like intelligent" bugs and more like an animal by HK standarts.

[nimble pebble]

Can be seen as instinct

[pallid flare]

well his battle AI isn't but oh well

[marsh ibex]

Midwife?

[nimble pebble]

A predator must lure it's pray

[orchid rune]

Also aren't weavers and era spiders?

[nimble pebble]

[vestal wagon]

Well besides those silkworms, how many not spider arthropods can make silk irl?

[glossy gazelle]

The only other bugs in Hollow knight with a similar strategy are the corpse bugs who’s name I can’t remember

[marsh ibex]

pretty sure the term spider is used somewhere in game

Also helltaker ew

[pallid flare]

i swear that hornet is referred as a spider like once

[nimble pebble]

some but not many

[vestal wagon]

I think it was midwife actually. I only vaguely remember her dialogue

[glossy gazelle]

Let me check Midwife’s dialogue

[nimble pebble]

[vestal wagon]

Also can we talk about how the corpse creepers are literally imposters?

[pallid flare]

whats a helltaker

[nimble pebble]

A game

[vestal wagon]

Sus

[marsh ibex]

Ok so lemm mentions they transitioned to “SPIDER silk”

In the wanderer’s journal thing

[pallid flare]

o- oh

[marsh ibex]

And little weavers are called spiders

Checkmate atheist

[nimble pebble]

[glossy gazelle]

Huh, It’s not in Midwife dialogue

[nimble pebble]

What kind of dumb response is that

[marsh ibex]

Little Weaver
Nimble spider that traverses its domain on thin strands of web. Often waits in ambush.

[nimble pebble]

not the lore part, after that

[glossy gazelle]

But I guess it’s elsewhere

[marsh ibex]

they use the term spider in game

[vestal wagon]

So spiders are canon

[marsh ibex]

insert stupid nickname here

[marsh ibex]

Spiders are not artillery

[glossy gazelle]

[marsh ibex]

weavers are spiders kekw

[vestal wagon]

Orb weavers are a thing

[nimble pebble]

All weavers are spiders not all spiders are weavers

[marsh ibex]

The little baby weavers are called “nimble spidahs”

[pallid flare]

sorry i don't really do lore

[marsh ibex]

huh

[nimble pebble]

By who? Grindle?

[marsh ibex]

now I’m imagining lace with a southern accent

[glossy gazelle]

I stay away from the #hk-lore channel

[marsh ibex]

terrifying

[vestal wagon]

Does that mean herra us just a giant enemy spider?

[nimble pebble]

I remember the 1 hour long period of this channel where it was nothing but NYC Grindle

[glossy gazelle]

I also remember that

[nimble pebble]

Nah that was cut from the game

[glossy gazelle]

I don’t remember who started it though

[barren roost]

I haven't been to #hk-lore for a month and a half

[vestal wagon]

On another note. I hope we see butterflies in SS. Marmu gives me hope.

[pallid flare]

i went there like once when I missclicked

[nimble pebble]

Trobbio is a butterfly

It isn't, it was scrapped

[marsh ibex]

[nimble pebble]

The wiki isn't the game or TC

[pallid flare]

you usually don't want to dream tho

[vestal wagon]

Trobbio's gonna get sued by grimm for copyright infringement. He stole the whole circus motif and the red.

[marsh ibex]

TC said that because they don’t like killing people’s theories

[barren roost]

they aren't such good things after all

[vestal wagon]

Man is getting taken to court and we have to watch a metal gear length cutscene if the trial

[haughty brook]

Also just Marmu is based on catepillar bug irl doesn't mean that it will become like an actual buterfly. The closest comparison are that grubs transforms into grubs but with white wings.

[pallid flare]

ace attorney and hollow knight team up

[vestal wagon]

Didn't marmu say the queen was gonna teach him to fly?

Pretty sure he would've metamorphosed into a butterfly at some point

[nimble pebble]

Radiance sleeper agent

[vestal wagon]

Beats me, I've never played it. I just know it has mad long cutscenes.

[nimble pebble]

Marmu is female

[vestal wagon]

Oh really?

[nimble pebble]

yes

[vestal wagon]

I never knew

[pallid flare]

i was about to ask

[nimble pebble]

It's voiced by Willbo's mom and also her baker boss

[vestal wagon]

Still though, she mentioned the queen talking about teaching them to fly iirc

[nimble pebble]

Willbo's mom also voices White lady

[nimble pebble]

She did ye

[manic zenith]

Wilbo's mom would teach Wilbo's mom how to fly
Epic

[haughty brook]

Also Marmu seems to be more like a naive child than anything.

[vestal wagon]

But Caterpillars can't fly unless they become...

[nimble pebble]

Well Marmu died before becoming a butterfly so

[vestal wagon]

So marmu was probably going to be...

RIP

She would've been beautiful

[nimble pebble]

Ye

Marmu was a Pussmoth Caterpillar

[pallid flare]

it's good that we didn't end up fighting a butterfly

[marsh ibex]

Light speed marmu

[vestal wagon]

So marmu is a puss moth, not a butterfly

[nimble pebble]

Well, if Marmu was a Pussmoth catapillar it'd likely have been a moth but HK doesn't follow Bug biology so they could make it a butterfly if they wanted to

[pallid flare]

oh yeah it would be a moth

[vestal wagon]

I wonder if puss moths like her are related to the radiance moths

[pallid flare]

but we're gonna fight a butterfly in silksong

[nimble pebble]

Indeed

[vestal wagon]

Maybe we'll meet some in SS.

[nimble pebble]

I think the reason Marmu never became a moth is it would complicate the fact that moths are created by Radiance and do not exist outside of that

[marsh ibex]

She’s not

She’s an entity comprised entirely of light

[pallid flare]

well what is she then

oh you meant the radiance

hoo boy

[vestal wagon]

Well if the moths are descendants of the radiance goddess, then maybe some are religiously neutral. Maybe marmu worships neither, but kindly acknowledges their presence.

[nimble pebble]

Imagine needing to be remembered to be strong, this was made by Higher Beings who are strong regardless gang

[marsh ibex]

Also for what we know, all moths were created by radiance

[nimble pebble]

Not descendent, she poofed them into existence

[marsh ibex]

people also thought grub fuccas would become moths

[nimble pebble]

It's creationism

[burnt topaz]

aww, what a cutie
its on sight

[nimble pebble]

You mean Grubberflies?

[vestal wagon]

So like the dragon people from fire emblem. They were poofed by the dragon God as far as I know.

[marsh ibex]

a y e

[nimble pebble]

I suppose

[marsh ibex]

Unn never made snails

[vestal wagon]

Unn is a slug

They're different

[nimble pebble]

Unn is a slug goddess who do be vibin

[marsh ibex]

Yeah snails are the ones you eat, slugs are the ones you dump salt on

[vestal wagon]

Come to think of it. The gods in HK don't have hair barring the radiance. Wyrms don't have hair. Neither does unn.

[nimble pebble]

BEGONE FOUL SLUGGG

[vestal wagon]

Maybe hairless beings are more powerful

[solid siren]

They all have hair they just shave it off

[pallid flare]

i dont eat any of them tho??

[nimble pebble]

Technically White lady has a lot of hair and you could say the same with shade lord

[vestal wagon]

If you're french you will.

[nimble pebble]

And Shade lord literally most powerful HB in Hallownest

I'm aware that it's horns but shhhhhhhhudap

[nimble pebble]

I'm French, and I do not like Escargot

[vestal wagon]

Well not fur I guess. Her tree root hair isn't hair hair.

[fading wolf]

Nope

[nimble pebble]

Bugs have fur or they nave not fur that is all

If you can even call it fur

While I can speak French, as I do not want to be yelled out for not speaking English in an English speaking server I shall not

[marsh ibex]

Server language is english

and I do not care you can’t speak french well

[vestal wagon]

Shouldn't it be Australian dialect english

[fading wolf]

Sooo

[burnt topaz]

can anyone translate australian?

[pallid flare]

sorry I only speak english

[vestal wagon]

Oi suppose. Either upsoide down or with written dialect in your worss

[nimble pebble]

I speak Australian, British, Canadian and American, I'm well versed

[pallid flare]

highlight text and click on button

alternatively, put two ~~ before and after your message

[vestal wagon]

~~ put two of those on each side

[burnt topaz]

hah, sure but bet you cant speak english

Nah I speak that too

[pallid flare]

i am jealous

[nimble pebble]

I always found that joke funny because it's the only dialect there that sounds like that, the UK has 88 dialects

[pallid flare]

the good ol' crisps

I fail at every accent expect a german one

[vestal wagon]

I'm assuming you mean cockney?

[nimble pebble]

Ye

[pallid flare]

it's too strong

The broke boi british accent

[burnt topaz]

i have an unbelievably convincing british accent its insane

[pallid flare]

woah, why are you bri'ish?

This is a little too sidetracked

Silksong will have many bells

[crimson shore]

never heard of it

[burnt topaz]

I bet sherma would talk like one of those nerd stereotypes

[pallid flare]

hell yes

[nimble pebble]

I think I will skewer him with my needle

[pallid flare]

i wish that we get to kill sherma

[nimble pebble]

Wish granted

[burnt topaz]

you dont know what cards he has up his sleeve

[barren roost]

a child

[nimble pebble]

Nah, he will die

[nimble pebble]

pretty sure sherma is an adult

[pallid flare]

just literally hit his stupid cymbal hat once to stun him

[nimble pebble]

He's a pilgrim on a pilgrimage in SS, not exactly you make a kid do but maybe idk

[burnt topaz]

like the forgedaughters slave

[nimble pebble]

Bellow is not a slave

[pallid flare]

please no rp

[burnt topaz]

that would be a nice interaction, wacking sherma on the head.
I genuinely hope that we get more interactions like that with NPCs

its very immersive, as the video game reviewers say

[analog forge]

Immersive

[pallid flare]

silksong vr

[nimble pebble]

"7/10 it's too hard"

[burnt topaz]

its just the silksong room

[nimble pebble]

It's funny because game reviewers are bad at video games

[pallid flare]

welcome in hell

[analog forge]

Reviewers arent the ones bad at games, its the journalists

Please stick to the established narrative

or be purged from our ranks

[nimble pebble]

My mom is actually better than video game reviewers and that's just sad

[nimble pebble]

Nah, it's the reviewers since they said DMC5 had bad music, however DMC5 has better music the better you play basically admitting they suck

[analog forge]

You can get through the game just fine without doing "well" though.

[nimble pebble]

I know

[analog forge]

Generally speaking, you dont combo hunt on your first playthrough

[pallid flare]

about what game are we talking rn

[analog forge]

er, rather, rank hunt.

[nimble pebble]

You don't even need to rank hunt, the average player could probably get at least a B

[burnt topaz]

dmc5

[pallid flare]

i think i own like two of those games

[nimble pebble]

DMC5 does have good music but it gets better and better the better your preformance

Which is cool

[analog forge]

Maybe they just didnt like the music

[burnt topaz]

All i know about vg journalists is dean takahashis cuphead playthrough which sure was something

[pallid flare]

is it that playthrough

[burnt topaz]

ye

[analog forge]

And yeah, its games journalists, not reviewers, who are the issue

[sullen fractal]

I hope they can capture fear the same way they did in hollow knight

[pallid flare]

psychological horror, am i right

[nimble pebble]

When did I ever say it was bad it was the game reviewer not me

I already have

[analog forge]

DMC5 wasnt screwed over in the slightest, what?

[burnt topaz]

from what we've seen in the trailers i dont think there are any places that seem outright scary, like deepnest, other than pukebug's area and maaaaybe barnable bay. Maybe they're saving it

[analog forge]

???

It wasnt screwed over, by any definition.
Yall are just crazy.

[nimble pebble]

Don't lump me in with him

[analog forge]

Too late, i already did

[pallid flare]

what did i do

[nimble pebble]

[analog forge]

since you refused to stick to established narratives, we've already expunged you from our ranks and put you in with the grimm pfps, pillow

[pallid flare]

sorry pillow but it must be done

[nimble pebble]

Sounds like you're just salty tbh

[analog forge]

unless you have a topic, grimm pfp, dont

[nimble pebble]

I wish we had more info to talk about but we don't

[pallid flare]

lets talk about

[nimble pebble]

Unless you want to talk about tools or areas

[burnt topaz]

someone before mentioned horror aspects in ss so why not there

[analog forge]

ah yes, good idea pyro

[burnt topaz]

mii fighter

[pallid flare]

let's talk about carmelita

[analog forge]

Attempting to escape your fate >:(

[pallid flare]

what

[analog forge]

the actual hell does that mean?

[nimble pebble]

What does that even mean

[burnt topaz]

can you not nick, what?

[pallid flare]

uhh

[analog forge]

right click your name, dummy

[pallid flare]

perhaps you should keep your grimm pfp

convenient indeed my friend

[analog forge]

I assume by "cringe hunter" its referring to a hunter who is cringe

[pallid flare]

does he hunt cringe or is he cringe?

[ocean mulch]

Cringehunter

[burnt topaz]

thou cringer

[ocean coral]

Hunter is the blackwyrm

[ocean mulch]

Big corn

[nimble pebble]

I wonder what crazy PoP we could get in SS with her movement

[ocean coral]

Yessir

[ocean coral]

I think they said something about less of an emphasis on parkour and stuff so i dont think we will get anything like PoP

People coiuld make cool mods tho probably

[nimble pebble]

Probably not, but it's a possiblity

[pallid flare]

mods are cool tho

[proud wing]

fuck mantis lords

[pallid flare]

mods as in "modifications" and not "moderators"

[proud wing]

Crowsworn looks very good, I look forward to it

[ocean mulch]

Crowsworn is early dev

[pallid flare]

that places silksong at... between 2021 and 2023-ish

[nimble pebble]

Indeed

[marsh ibex]

Because I know who I am.
The moonlight lake told me

I would hope anyway

[pallid flare]

with which one did you start

[ocean coral]

like 3 or something, it was on the 3ds

[marsh ibex]

Three

Lmao that’s dream drop

[nimble pebble]

KH isn't my jam which is why I haven't played it

[marsh ibex]

Worst place to start

[pallid flare]

jesus christ this guy started with dream drop distance

[marsh ibex]

hahahaha

lmao

[nimble pebble]

Where did you hear that? I hear KH fans love 3

[ocean coral]

i got it for my birthday lol

[pallid flare]

it's the worst one in my opinion

[marsh ibex]

It was divisive as hell at launch

before re:mind fixed a lot of combat shit

[pallid flare]

still have to get remind

[nimble pebble]

Yeah but he's talking story which I hear people liked

[marsh ibex]

lmaooooooo

[nimble pebble]

I see you didnt

[marsh ibex]

who the fuck did you hear that from

[pallid flare]

kh3 delivered some really satisfying conclusions

[marsh ibex]

nobody liked kh3’s story

[pallid flare]

i did bro

[analog forge]

Any talk of liking the story of kingdom hearts is stockholm syndrome

[narrow lava]

I did ||joking I dont like any kingdom heart story||

[marsh ibex]

It was paced like dogshit

[pallid flare]

i was basically rooting for one character only in that game

[marsh ibex]

you fucked around in disney worlds for a while and then everything started happening after that

[pallid flare]

i hate that the disney worlds had literally no impact on anything

[marsh ibex]

They pulled the “I was a good guy all along” with xehanort

[burnt topaz]

you have to say who now

[ocean coral]

Disneys world, like disneyworld?

[marsh ibex]

No

[pallid flare]

my boy roxas

edgy motherfucker

[marsh ibex]

the disney worlds are basically separate worlds based on Disney IPs

[ocean coral]

man this server needs some stickers

[marsh ibex]

Like Tangled or Pirates of the Caribbean

[pallid flare]

an admin/mod said that they accept them

[marsh ibex]

They also skipped a couple of movies with the pirates shit and it was very confusing

[ocean coral]

was there actually a tangled world or was that just a random example

[marsh ibex]

There was

[ocean coral]

thats so random

[pallid flare]

don't start with the third game

[marsh ibex]

you theoretically could

[pallid flare]

don't

[marsh ibex]

they did add like these plot synopses

[ocean coral]

Idk i dont think those games r for me in general, i dont really like rpgs at all

[pallid flare]

buy the collections on ps4/pc and you're good

skip the fucking card game tho

[ocean coral]

I tried playing ff7 remastered recently and i couldnt even get past the first boss

[marsh ibex]

You can’t actually

the card game has important story

Same as the mobile game

[pallid flare]

watch the cutscene version on youtube instead

[marsh ibex]

and the rhythm game

[burnt topaz]

im fine with rpgs as long as they arent turn-based

[pallid flare]

the rhythm game has story too?

[marsh ibex]

Yes

[ocean coral]

yea i dont like turn based combat unless its pokemon

[marsh ibex]

it’s an action rpg anyways lmao

[pallid flare]

hack and slash

[marsh ibex]

you hit things with stick and occasionally use spells from menu

[ocean coral]

ah

[nimble pebble]

Same

[marsh ibex]

well unless you’re playing chain of memories

or melody

Or union cross

[ocean coral]

jesus, how many kh games r there even

[nimble pebble]

There's a few exceptions

[pallid flare]

DDD was the only one that I skipped the ending on

[marsh ibex]

Oh right you can’t play union cross any more

they shut down the servers

[pallid flare]

there's like 9 entries

[nimble pebble]

I like TTYD and M&L games

[marsh ibex]

and then you learn that the fucking player character in union cross is xehanort in a past life

[nimble pebble]

Even if they're turn based at least it's intuitive and not slow

[marsh ibex]

[burnt topaz]

I love the mumble italian in the m&l games

[pallid flare]

don't get into the mobile gmaes

[nimble pebble]

Yeah

I know Alphadream went Bankrupt but man What I'd kill for a Switch M&L game

I'd even settle for a port at this point, but man would a new one be cool

Well that and Paper jam

They were all good except Paper jam

[pallid flare]

was paper jam the wiiU one?

that's the only one i played

oh yeah it was color splash

[nimble pebble]

ok isn't good enough when the others were 11/10

[pallid flare]

it was ok in my opinion

[nimble pebble]

The mediocrity is why it didn't sell well and also why they went bankrupt

the 3d remakes didn't help either

It was a combination of it all

[pallid flare]

you good bro?

[burnt topaz]

silksong

[nimble pebble]

Sticker star

[pallid flare]

what was spm again

[nimble pebble]

my favourites from first to third out of the PM games are TTYD, SPM, and then PMOK

[pallid flare]

i was more of a ps2 kid growing up so i didn't experience most of nintendo games

[nimble pebble]

TBRPGS suck

[serene chasm]

tbrpg?

[nimble pebble]

but some are good like PM

[burnt topaz]

turn-based rpgs

[serene chasm]

oh ok. thanks.

[nimble pebble]

I was a nintendo kid but ps2 had some cool stuff I had a friend who had one so I've played it before

[pallid flare]

get fancy snailed, lol

spyro 3 will forever stay in my heart

[ocean coral]

Yes

[pallid flare]

yes, fuck

[ocean coral]

Got em

[pallid flare]

no

you're quite cringe, yes

[ocean coral]

the only game ive played with spyro in it is skylanders

[burnt topaz]

my parents gave away my ps2 and i was too young to fight back

[nimble pebble]

Anyways Switch M&L game, Hand it over Nintendo

[ocean coral]

True

[nimble pebble]

That's a gross representation of a neglectful parent

[pallid flare]

i still have my ps2

[ocean coral]

Sold my ps2 and ps3 a long time ago

[pallid flare]

i dont have anything to run it on but it's still nice to have

[nimble pebble]

Taking away your childs toy and or happiness is a terrible thing to do as a parent no matter the reason

[ocean coral]

lol bruh

[pallid flare]

lmao

oh no :(

[ocean coral]

My friend used to tell me his dad worked for the skylanders company

[nimble pebble]

Skylanders were good before it became to cash grabby back with the first 3 games first 2 even I'd say

[burnt topaz]

ahh, the classic

[pallid flare]

it was always a cash grab bro

a good one though

[ocean coral]

im a big fan of cash grabs

madden 2021 🙏

[nimble pebble]

Yeah but it wasn't as bad in the first few, it was quite good then it became solely cash grabby and not even entertaining

[pallid flare]

i played trap team (yes i have a wiiU) and it was decent as a kid

[nimble pebble]

I had trap team

[ocean coral]

Idk i remember playing the first one and giants i thin

I gave away all my skylanders to this little kid in my neighborhood

[nimble pebble]

but after the one with vehicles I stopped because it just wasn't fun anymore an was too cash grabby for my taste

[serene chasm]

I dont understand anything going on right now

[ocean coral]

I also had lego dimensions

[pallid flare]

curly just face it, you're old

[nimble pebble]

My favourite was the original and giants

[serene chasm]

Why you gotta do me like that, pyro?

[pallid flare]

sorry curly

[brittle garnet]

You say this as if Skylanders is anything new

[pallid flare]

it's like 10 years old

[serene chasm]

It definitely was past my gaming generation

[pallid flare]

what was your gaming generation

[ocean coral]

pong

[burnt topaz]

hell yeah, my man

[serene chasm]

Ps1 /N64

[pallid flare]

fuck that's almost mine

[ocean coral]

[nimble pebble]

My gaming gen was the gamecube and what followed though I have played on my parents consoles like gameboys sega genesis but not N64 Nes or Snes though

[ocean coral]

thats like 30

[serene chasm]

I mean my first console was a NES I got at a garage sale

[nimble pebble]

Had all versions of the ds and all consoles from the game cube up the switch

[pallid flare]

y'all really like nintendo huh

[nimble pebble]

My old wii still works, it's 14 years old

[ocean coral]

no not really

[nimble pebble]

Nah I like playstation as well but it wasn't advertised very well on tv so I didn't really know about it until my mid teens

[pallid flare]

playstation was already winning when i got in

[burnt topaz]

all of our DS's except one have broken hinges, still work pretty well though

[nimble pebble]

I also have a sibling so Nintendo was the way to go since it had a lot of party games we could play though we still have quite a few story based single player games

I love Bloodborne

[trim isle]

tbh i wish silksong would be released sooner cuz rn i have nothing to do but try to get the speedrun 2 achievement and try to do pantheons :(

[ocean coral]

Console war is just between xbox and ps4, nintendo is like its whole seperate thing

[surreal mortar]

I’ve downloaded bloodborne but I haven’t played it yet

[nimble pebble]

That's fun though

[pallid flare]

there's many games

[tidal trail]

hi guys

[pallid flare]

i got DS1 and bloodborne

[trim isle]

but hollow knight is the only good good game :(((

[tidal trail]

theres a new team cherry interview coming out later this month

[pallid flare]

ever heard of like ori

[nimble pebble]

False

[serene chasm]

Pre xbox days it was Playstation vs Nintendo. Maybe a dreamcast owner would try to say shit, but they got double teamed pretty quickyly if they tried

[pallid flare]

we know

[nimble pebble]

Ori isn't that great

[trim isle]

whats ori?

[ocean coral]

at least both are better than pc

[pallid flare]

i bought baba is you and I'm having a great time

[tidal trail]

me when opinion 😠

[nimble pebble]

Baba is you is great

[burnt topaz]

i also recently bought baba is you, it hurts my brain

[serene chasm]

Im too stupid for that game.

[trim isle]

imma look into it

[pallid flare]

baba is you destroys your brain in a good way

[tidal trail]

i remember when i played demons souls when i was a kid

[burnt topaz]

baba is you
more like
baba is cute

[nimble pebble]

Ahit is a vibin game

[tidal trail]

fun times
i died a lot

[nimble pebble]

Shovel knight as well

[burnt topaz]

shovel knight is great, could never do those challenges though

[pallid flare]

you can do it

[burnt topaz]

Curly is Win!

[pallid flare]

there's like 50 different souls games all made from the same company wtf

[tidal trail]

i played all of the souls games
fav one is bloodborne

[ocean coral]

have u guys ever played among us

[tidal trail]

i also played the new ps5 version on demons souls and got a hell of a nostalgia trip

[pallid flare]

what a hidden gem

[nimble pebble]

DeS DS 1-3 BB- Sekiro, Eldin ring, that's about it

[ocean coral]

its pretty indie u guys might not have heard about it

[tidal trail]

whats among us

[pallid flare]

you're among us

[burnt topaz]

among us's all time peak on steam is 438,524
and thats just on steam

[serene chasm]

Maybe one day. I just have a hard time staying motivated when the reward for a hard puzzle is an even harder puzzle

[pallid flare]

ever played portal

[tidal trail]

438K bruh

[ocean coral]

its basically like hollow knight but in a different kind of way

[serene chasm]

Love portal

[burnt topaz]

yeah, the reward is cake, your point?

[tidal trail]

who doesnt

[pallid flare]

awesome

[ocean coral]

Club Penguin?

[pallid flare]

i don't have all that many puzzle games

[burnt topaz]

god, i wish valve made games

[nimble pebble]

I have a few puzzle games

[tidal trail]

ever heard of artifact?

yeah me neither

[pallid flare]

50 players online rn

[nimble pebble]

Ace attorney franchise is great, I'm hyped for the Ace attorney chronicles western port coming soon

[pallid flare]

you might get in a match this week

[tidal trail]

im a HUGE ac fan

[burnt topaz]

i played ace attorney last summer, what a treat that was

[pallid flare]

ace attorney is great

[nimble pebble]

Ah, I see you are based as well

[tidal trail]

based and normal pilled😎

[pallid flare]

i got into the clown case and it got very boring all of a sudden, what happened?

[nimble pebble]

You guys getting Chronicles? I am

[serene chasm]

no idea what that is

[pallid flare]

me neither

[nimble pebble]

The case after that is better imo, there's also like 3 games

[burnt topaz]

haha wait till apollo justice's 3rd case, then you'll really cue over from boredom

[nimble pebble]

well if you bought the trilogy

[pallid flare]

i watch a playthrough of it

[tidal trail]

they localized the prequels to the ace attorney games
its a pretty big deal

[pallid flare]

basically the same thing as playing it and I keep my money

[nimble pebble]

The duology did horrible so we probably won't get a western port

[burnt topaz]

i emulated them

[serene chasm]

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!

[tidal trail]

it reminds me of a CERTAIN company who wont localize a CERTAIN game whos ALSO part of a trilogy

[nimble pebble]

Capcom unlike many AAA companies for the most part is pretty vibin so I support them with my money they've been on a major roll for quite a bit now

[pallid flare]

mhh oblivion

[tidal trail]

any re fans here?

[pallid flare]

"re" is quite cryptic, you know

[nimble pebble]

There's is but the duology in particular didn't do well

Resident evil

[tidal trail]

the resident evil lore is questionable at best

[nimble pebble]

Any Re fan would know, but you clearly aren't

[tidal trail]

believe me i know

[nimble pebble]

RE lore is fine, just weird

[barren roost]

[serene chasm]

[tidal trail]

i cant remember how long i spent playing every single game in the franchise trying to peace together the lore, watching the tv shows, reading the comics. It... changes you

[barren roost]

ack
et tu, pyro?

[nimble pebble]

Capcom also makes MH, SF, MM, AA and many more

[tidal trail]

anyway imma go drink some bleach

[pallid flare]

sonic fans are so dedicated tho

[tidal trail]

cya guys

[nimble pebble]

Curly not knowing what Ace attorney is just proves his boomer status

[pallid flare]

curly doesn't know ace attorney?

[serene chasm]

fun game. Google {your name} the hedgehog, and see what comes up

[pallid flare]

brb

[pallid flare]

i have seen too much

my name isn't even that common jfc

[nimble pebble]

Boomer curly

[serene chasm]

I know of Ace Attorney, but Ive never played

[nimble pebble]

[burnt topaz]

im honestly surprised my name came up, not very common

[pallid flare]

same, what the hell. those guys are so dedicated

[nimble pebble]

Perhaps we should say something SS before we get yelled at

[burnt topaz]

its like a billion monkeys at a typewriter theory put into practice

[pallid flare]

it's almost intriguing

there's also so much of it

[barren roost]

more than a billion

[burnt topaz]

a billion and one

a billion and one point two

[barren roost]

there's a third walking in now

no

sorry :(

[pallid flare]

let put chat to rest

it's pretty late

shhhhhh

[barren roost]

I mean in eastern time it's almost evening

that's kinda late-ish, right?

[nimble pebble]

in EST it is 4:41 pm

[pallid flare]

everybody knows that UTC+2 is the rightest timezone

[barren roost]

no memes

[burnt topaz]

europe be like:

[pallid flare]

school's tomorrow, i should probably go now

[serene chasm]

Its summer

[nimble pebble]

The best timezone is EST that is all

[pallid flare]

summer break is in a week for me

[nimble pebble]

🪞

You are more cringe now

[pallid flare]

i may have indirectly given away in what state i live now but i don't care

[barren roost]

well as a resident of the west coast I would like to call you an uncultured snob with your wall street and broadway but hollywood is nothing like that
what are you talking about hollywood is fine

[serene chasm]

Just start it a week early

[nimble pebble]

Sounds exactly like that on that west coast

[pallid flare]

should I just not go to school or what

[burnt topaz]

oh wait europeans cant go to sleep yet, footballs on

[nimble pebble]

I'm not from NY

[pallid flare]

when's that match anyways

[burnt topaz]

right now

[pallid flare]

i hope that italy wins

[burnt topaz]

why would you say that to me

[ocean coral]

the match is ongoing

[pallid flare]

sorry amina but ingerland must lose

[nimble pebble]

What's everyones favourite revealed Silksong area

[burnt topaz]

barnacle bay

[narrow vault]

The citeadel

[pallid flare]

i really like clover area

[nimble pebble]

I call it ancient sea but I agree

[keen karma]

Same

[serene chasm]

Clocktower for sure

[pallid flare]

clocktower is a good one

[nimble pebble]

Barnacle bay is Ancient sea to me

[burnt topaz]

I love the patterns on the cog things in the clocktower

[brittle garnet]

Barnacles

[burnt topaz]

the giant loom in greymoor also looks cool

[pallid flare]

pharloom joke incoming

[nimble pebble]

Ancient sea is reflective of it mostly likely being underwater at one point but no longer

[coarse leaf]

why the fuck is it phar and not far

[serene chasm]

cause they fancy

[nimble pebble]

Because it sounds cool

[pallid flare]

thee named it phar instead of far

[coarse leaf]

In software, a PHAR file is a package format to enable distribution of applications and libraries by bundling many PHP code files and other resources into a single archive file. PHAR files may be in one of three formats: tar, and ZIP, which are compatible with their respective tooling, and a custom PHAR format.

[brittle garnet]

Maybe, but we don't know what it's called so I refuse to call it anything else than it's most accurate description

[coarse leaf]

Ziploom

[pallid flare]

so loom.phar is an actual thing?

[coarse leaf]

loom.zip

[keen karma]

I'm kinda hyped for Deep Docks just because of that dope ass robot looking bossfight

[nimble pebble]

Probably a late game fight when you come back to it

I can't wait for shit crab Lomm in Ancient sea

[pallid flare]

can't wait for stinky town in general

[nimble pebble]

Coral forest do be vibin in colour though

[brittle garnet]

Can't wait for literally everything

[pallid flare]

silksong

more like silknever

[burnt topaz]

i hope stinky town catches on

maybe im being juvenile

[pallid flare]

it's like one of the best fanon names

[nimble pebble]

We've named half the NPCs and enemies already

Like Dave

[shy stirrup]

yall think ss will be out by end of 2022?

[pallid flare]

probably

when in doubt, ask #sk-discussion

[shy stirrup]

ss has been in development since like 2017

[nimble pebble]

Well someone supposedly said SS will be out before Crowsworn which is slated for 2023 so probably in 2022

[pallid flare]

that someone can't really know if it's true tho

[shy stirrup]

i was expecting summer of this year last year lol

[formal karma]

'someone' lel

[nimble pebble]

SS has been in development since the DLCS for HK were being worked on but went into full on main focus production since right before the launch of Godmaster

[pallid flare]

leth is just somebody that we used to know

[nimble pebble]

Well they said Leth said it but idk if I buy it

[pallid flare]

leth did say that

[formal karma]

pics or it didn't happen

[pallid flare]

i dont remember where though, sorry

[formal karma]

but in all honesty i DO expect it to be out becfore dec 2023

and crowsworn can easily go past that....

[pallid flare]

it'll most probably go past the that

[nimble pebble]

Well, Tbf Leth does work as the marketing guy for Crowsworn

I think He'd know since he works for both projects

[undone nova]

+3 = 2025 confirmed

[pallid flare]

add three more years as a security measure

aye, 2028 sounds like a safe bet

[nimble pebble]

SS started production as a side project in mid 2017 and in late 2018 started full production and of course was revealed in early 2019

[mortal bluff]

Am I the only that really wants a silksong bossrush?

[pallid flare]

we all do

[nimble pebble]

We could have it but it's questionable

[mortal bluff]

Not as part of the story but as a extra game mode

[pallid flare]

we can but they can always decide to not include it

[nimble pebble]

Since Ari said we won't get another godhome, but that could just be in that style and doesn't rule out a boss rush

Just not a Godhome Boss rush

[mortal bluff]

Where does he say this?

[pallid flare]

wait gimme a min

[nimble pebble]

The bag of moss was told by Ari when they saw each other at a con and then he told us

[pallid flare]

#sk-discussion message

[mortal bluff]

Mega sad time

Godhome is honestly some of the best parts of hk even if that’s a uncommon opinion

[clear kestrel]

no it adds a lot of content and makes the game endless pretty much

[nimble pebble]

It doesn't rule out a boss rush just won't be a Godhome style boss rush

[formal karma]

also the words "I hope people aren't expecting a boss rush" do not mean "we are not making a boss rush"

[stark prism]

i would literally eat a piece of bread if silksong turned out to be a timed switch exclusive

[pallid flare]

boss rush area

[formal karma]

don't worry cause its not

[mortal bluff]

Would you buy silksong if it was 120 dollars

[nimble pebble]

No

[pallid flare]

nope

i would do ummm

not so legal things

[nimble pebble]

HK makes their games affordable for accessibility, So even in poorer countries people can play

[dreamy zenith]

scalping. Intensities.

Yep

[nimble pebble]

If you want to support TC more, buy copies of HK on other platforms or buy it for your friends, or buy merch

[mortal bluff]

I got hk for my homies a while ago

[marsh ibex]

for raw silksong? Just the game? Hell no
For a collector’s edition? Hell no

[mortal bluff]

What about for the super collector’s edition

[nimble pebble]

If it was a collector's edition and they gave me a 50 dollar credit on fangamer for merch

Maybe

[marsh ibex]

Fuck that i’m not shelling out over a hundred bucks for a video game

[nimble pebble]

I wouldn't either

But I'd shell out 60 for a game and 50 for merch

[marsh ibex]

also my siblings and parents are currently watching boss baby 2

[nimble pebble]

My vessel hoodie cost that much

[marsh ibex]

[nimble pebble]

[pallid flare]

boss baby 2?

[nimble pebble]

yes

[pallid flare]

isn't there a third one?

[nimble pebble]

I believe so

[marsh ibex]

No

If the second one just released why would there be a third movie

[nimble pebble]

I thought the one that just came out was the third

idk, I don't keep up with trash movies

[mortal bluff]

Extreme marketing tactics?

[pallid flare]

oh theres a third season of the show

no wait theres 4?

who the fuck watches this shit

[wide mango]

🅱️oss 🅱️aby

[round latch]

I believe it's in production

[stiff burrow]

I mean it's not like there is a whole lot to say about ss

[somber hare]

So, how is everyone holding up with no news?

[pallid flare]

i'm doing great

[fallow apex]

Amazing

[somber hare]

Good to know you guys didn't hollow away like the Elden Ring fanbase did

[fallow apex]

Oh so thats Why i haven’t seen unique in a while

[somber hare]

Same

HOLLOWING REVERSED

I won't believe Elden Ring is real until I am playing it, just like silksong

[fallow apex]

Elden ring bad

[lapis inlet]

not a chance

[oak galleon]

is this real? what site is it on?

[manic zenith]

Twitch of course

...Its kickstarter

[oak galleon]

i’m confused - it’s on the hollow knight kickstarter?

[full rune]

no team cherry commented that on another game's kickstarter

to steal their thunder

[oak galleon]

ohhh

ok thank u i am no longer confused

[formal karma]

the post it to a kickstart for a game they copied /s

but in all seriousness, congrats to Crowsworn

[oak galleon]

i’m excited to play it

[manic zenith]

wonder if TC donated them
They probably did?

[full rune]

doubtful, we can infer that william would like to design a boss akin to markoth to make everyone hate the game and tank initial sales in favor for silksong, but if you read in the kickstarter it says that the devs must approve of the design

[formal karma]

oh, lord, Zaliant

[marsh ibex]

Hey zal pal

[full rune]

second comma not necessary

[formal karma]

yes, lord zaliant...

[cobalt radish]

Who here would say ss is a sequel?

[formal karma]

officially i am sequelist but i fight for prequelism

[dreamy zenith]

Huh

[cobalt radish]

Care to explain?

[nimble pebble]

Anyone would a brain would

Sequalism is all that there is

[formal karma]

I personally believe its a sequel.... but since it could be either of them and there's 0 evidence either way, I tend to argue on behalf of prequelism

[nimble pebble]

But let's not get into that before another flame war starts

[nimble pebble]

Prequel retcons any character development hornet could have in Silksong

[formal karma]

mhmmmm, no it doesn't

[nimble pebble]

Yes it does

[formal karma]

we don't really have any idea of who hornet actuall is in the first place other than stoic and dutiful

[orchid rune]

There's also the squetchy option that she just forgets stuff once she leaves pharloom

[nimble pebble]

that's a cop out

Also

Hornet speaks of remembering her old tools to forge daughter

Which means the problem of leaving hallownest and forgetting things does not effect her and tbh I don't think much else could make her forget

[orchid rune]

I do belive it's a sequel don't get me wrong

Even tho I'd prefer if it was a prequel

[marsh ibex]

No?

[nimble pebble]

Yes

[narrow vault]

explain

[formal karma]

i mean we could be given a completely different hornet and Silksong could be about learning to be the hornet from HK

[cobalt radish]

Here's my thinking: We see in the trailer that hornet is being transported, emphasising she was weakened in a way to be captured, proving the radiance endings to be more likely to be this timeline. Another clue is that what we can tell is that she has lived in Hallownest all her life due to knowing most things about it, and also showing in one of her titles as the "Protector", proving she's been there long enough to gain that title - again, emphasising a sequel.

[nimble pebble]

HK only shows how she's like in HK if she has some character development in some way it wouldn't show in HK so if some changes did happen it would disregard such changes making them feel meaningless and inconsequential because then we know how she turns out

[stiff burrow]

If she starts different than she is in HK and ends the game to be like she is in HK there is no retconning anywhere.

[formal karma]

1. no endings are canon that we know of, 2) she's a demigod from the time BEFORE the infection killed everyone she has had plenty of time to earn the title protector, leave and come back

[marsh ibex]

All endings are canon

[nimble pebble]

All endings are canon

[marsh ibex]

none are more canon than the others is the phrasing to use

[formal karma]

yea i suppose

[cobalt radish]

MY POINT WAS THAT IN THIS SS TIMELINE IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE!

[stiff burrow]

Her being weakened cause of the radiance is a baseless assumption tho
It could be cause of anything else

[nimble pebble]

That would be under the assumption that SS hornet at the end is like HK hornet which can't be said yet, I suppose we'll find out when it's out

[cobalt radish]

not the radiance - the fight with THK or being in the black egg

[nimble pebble]

Oh boy, here I go explaining that fight never happened again

[stiff burrow]

Yup, just saying that they can give her development in a prequel without retconning anything if they do it that way

[cobalt radish]

speculation

[marsh ibex]

That…makes one ending canon and the other ones not canon?

[cobalt radish]

no

[narrow vault]

Honestly it doesn't matter if it is a sequel or prequel, because the game will be good either way.

[cobalt radish]

my point is we are following a singular timeline

[raven maple]

Its easy to weaken one by surprise attacking

[nimble pebble]

Really not, we've already reasoned what with what was happening and how the character behave that THK and hornet wouldn't fight

[raven maple]

or catch them off guard

[stiff burrow]

The problem is if we don't talk about prequel vs sequel there aren't many things to talk about
Or do you wanna speculate the price again

[raven maple]

the price?

[narrow vault]

I liked speculating tools, and talking about potential tool builds

[cobalt radish]

higher end indie game : £30-40 in the first few months

[stiff burrow]

It's one of the few topics that happen here like every other day

[marsh ibex]

None of the endings majorly affect silksong in a way that needs further explanation as of right now

the price isn’t discussed cuz it’s gonna stay the same

[nimble pebble]

Hornet knows PV/THK she saw the infection drain in the black egg, and since THK is a vessel with a mind to think and a will to break it can think things out logically hornet simply assumed a battle stance out of instinct since THK shouldn't normally be able to waltz out of the black egg

[marsh ibex]

They already explained they’re keeping it low

[raven maple]

but why capture hornet?

[stiff burrow]

Because of what JoJoker just said, no way it'll be that much

[narrow vault]

silk

[formal karma]

since Hollow Knight happened to The Player Knight in a kingdom called Hallownest, Silksong doesn't need to tie back to it ever, at all

[nimble pebble]

The implication from the info we got is the citadel needs her

[cobalt radish]

silk and connection to the weavers

[raven maple]

okay

[nimble pebble]

Exactly
