Still asuming too much about the Seth boss fight. Some bosses like Grimm are about dodging and survivng until you get the opportunity to get a hit.

[tribal schooner]

thats also fair

[haughty brook]

Still marveled with the art of SS.

[serene chasm]

Ari is a God among men

[tribal schooner]

what is that smudge just below the movement lines of the boss? maybe a path showing where he jumped?

[haughty brook]

Yes, it is shown in the trailer in movement.

i want to know more about this and i hope they reveal something in ss

[nimble pebble]

They prboably won't

[tribal schooner]

there was even a dum.. dum..... dum... dum

i feel like it ties into her original capture

[nimble pebble]

That's THK

[haughty brook]

Team Cherry clarified that they wanted to make Silksong being friendly to newcomers, so anything related to Hollow Knight would be more a pasing reference or mention rather than big fanservice elements.

[tribal schooner]

i know but why did they set it up as if they will fight. like the music and everything suggests danger or something

[nimble pebble]

#sk-discussion message

[tribal schooner]

but they also said a big part of her journey will be learning about her past and figuring out a way to return.

[haughty brook]

The part of "figuring out a way to return" doesn't appear in any intervirew.

[tribal schooner]

i agreed with this at first but the thing is that the mood of the music and whole scene suggests otherwise

[nimble pebble]

It really doesn't

Literally everything suggests they wouldn't fight

[tribal schooner]

maybe it was her past and how she was captured or somthing but they suggested it would still tie in to HK to a defree. besides i think their comment on being friendly to new comers is more a connection to a gameplay that would not require knowledge of how to play HK

[tribal schooner]

not really. we dont have any evidence that they even know eachother and both have a history of combat and trauma. maybe they dont fight but i think THK has something to do with Honrnets capture

[nimble pebble]

SS is a standalone game and has no reason to heavily refer to HK

[haughty brook]

I think is about focusing in the story of the Weavers and Hornet past as in, before the events of HK, so there will not be things like, look, here is the Knight or Grimm.

[nimble pebble]

Hornet and THK do know each other and neither has a reason to fight even if they didn't

[nimble pebble]

Well of course, if it relates to Hornet we'd probably get something on it, most likely in the form of a memory

[vivid belfry]

I think the best ending for hornet would be her not having a reason to return to hallownest

regardless of what happened to it at the end of HK, there's nothing more she can do to protect it

[haughty brook]

I think most people should think HK and SS stories as being set in the same universe but somewhat selfcontained, rather than a constant self referencial nods to past works like in the MCU. TC also stated all endings are considered canon and let's be honest, it would be kinda of a dick move to make Godmaster the only canon ending when trying to obtained is just super hard for most casual players.

[nimble pebble]

Queen of Pharloom ending

[dry pier]

im getting this game damn it and nobody will stop me

[fierce star]

Blasphemous does and it's a metroidvania but I agree probably not in a TC game
(Sorry if long time later replies are annoying I've just been reading back up)
I think it could be incorporated well and from what we've seen would work more for silksong than iit would've in hollow knight (not well)

[dry pier]

and im not going to look at the chat because i might die from spoilers

[vivid belfry]

idk enemies die and move so fast that I'm not sure it would translate well

blasphemous is a game where enemies tend to have super long periods where they're not actively attacking you or just really short aggro ranges, which isn't the case in silksong

[haughty brook]

I think its easier to do something like that in pixel art games, but in the hand drawn style and more "chibi" one in SS rather than the darker style of Blasphemous it wouldn't work so well.

[vivid belfry]

also enemies just don't take very many hits to kill

[tribal schooner]

i dont know why people get hung up on the canon thing cause they said all are equally cannon but they didnt say all endings would lead up to the events of silksong. on ending or two similar endings could lead to silksong while others dont

[vivid belfry]

that is true, but also all endings can lead to silksong

[tribal schooner]

but i suspect that THK has something to do with hornets capture. so the lack of some endings isnt really and arguement of how canon they are

especially since among all the endings the ones where THK staggers up seems the most open to a continuation of the story

[haughty brook]

I mean, Dream no More ends with a weakened Hornet mourning the death of the Knight, so that can lead to her capture.

[tribal schooner]

thats true

[haughty brook]

Also, it seems she was capture what seems to be very end game enemies, so we must asume that they are pretty strong and took her by surprise.

[vivid belfry]

I don't think those guys are endgame really

[haughty brook]

I mean, knowing these are from the Citadel cast we can asume they know some countermeasures to Silk abilities, that, and maybe they took her by surprise rather than announce "we are going to capture you and take to Pharloom!"

[nimble pebble]

THK who is no longer controlled by rad has a mind and a will and now common sense it has no reason to attack hornet especially in its weakened state and hornet only took a battle stance from being startled but would likely not attack THK since she knows the infection is gone now since she watched it drain, it seeming most logical of the endings to lead into silksong to you doesn't mean there's anything to suggest they'd fight not to mention SS doesn't have to follow any ending and could simply happen, it's a standalone game and most references to HK would be to Hornets past which could very well be things before HK's events

[haughty brook]

Also the Weavers and possibly the five knights (at least the apart from Ogrim)

[nimble pebble]

Possibly

[tribal schooner]

I didn’t say the fight necessarily just that he is connected to her capture in some way. Maybe he defends her or weakens her or she gets captured defending him. I just think he’s connected

[brisk shale]

Any news yet

[haughty brook]

Nope

[serene patrol]

Sadge

[haughty brook]

Any news should be in hk-announcements and also, if there were actual news, the channel would be chaos rather than just retreating to old theories and speculations.

[nimble pebble]

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with it and Hornet just leaves and captured somewhere else, no law she has to live the rest of her life in the black egg

[reef scarab]

it is time for the

[tribal schooner]

even dyno is getting tired of saying it

[tribal schooner]

you could be right. i want more about THK and i think it is reasonable plausible that there is a connection there.

[shy stirrup]

I don’t think ss will even hint at any of the endings

It’s either gonna even slightly mention all of them or none of them

[reef scarab]

It’s supposed to be approachable for new players and likely fit with all of the endings so I really doubt THK is gonna be in it

[shy stirrup]

Still my head cannon is that hornet dies In the black egg so all endings aren’t canon but I’m not Tc

[tribal schooner]

i dont think new friendly really connects to the story side of things. i think that was more in reference to the difficulty stuff

[haughty brook]

Also, seeing how Silksong will focus on Hornet and the Weavers, I don't think we will get more details regarding the Vessels in general.

[tribal schooner]

i dont think it would be the vessels tho i think it would be specifically THK. the last cutscene in HK is really the only one that suggest the continuation of the story

its the only cliff hanger the only thing not resolved

[reef scarab]

Why would she? The egg is normally sealed because the dreamers have been made to sleep endlessly, but as far as I know there’s nothing stopping Hornet from waking up and leaving

[shy stirrup]

She says that the egg isn’t made for the likes of her

I personally believe that means it will Drain her life and kill her

I’m talking about sealed siblings btw

[fiery coral]

that'd be a bad ending though

[reef scarab]

All endings being canon means all endings are canon, although we don’t see it and probably won’t learn it there’s definitely some way she does get out

[shy stirrup]

I personally still wish Tc would just pick a ending but oh well

[nimble pebble]

Hornet doesn't die in the Black egg and that's confirmed

[fiery coral]

everything in the ending points to her being dead, or at least trapped forever; there's absolutely zero point in having that ending if she can waltz out of there

[reef scarab]

If some dumbass vessels can find a way to escape a sealed abyss then Hornet with a mind can find a way to leave an egg

[fiery coral]

Hornet's pretty weak and drained

[nimble pebble]

But not dead

She takin a nap

[tribal schooner]

just cause they are all canon does not mean that all lead to the events of silksong, and TC never said they would

[fiery coral]

not in a state to escape and go on further adventures, is my point

[reef scarab]

the vessels have no abilities and makeshift nails

[nimble pebble]

DEUS EX MACHINAU SEAL BREAKER BUGSS

[fiery coral]

[nimble pebble]

You know I'm right

[shy stirrup]

My inference is that this text: The path is opened. One way or another an end awaits inside.
I won't be joining you in this. That space is built to sustain your likes. Its bindings would drain me were I to join.
Don't be surprised. I'll not risk my own life in your attempt, though if the moment presents I'll aid as I'm able. Means hornet dies

[nimble pebble]

TC confirmed in an AMA that she doesn't die in the egg though

[shy stirrup]

Did they?

[nimble pebble]

She's just taking a perma nap

[fiery coral]

its bindings would drain me were I to join

Casually strolls out regardless

[reef scarab]

gottem 😎

[shy stirrup]

Didn’t they just confirm that all endings are cannon?

[nimble pebble]

Someone asked if hornet was dead in Sealed Siblings and they said she wasn't

[shy stirrup]

Well I think that’s stupid

[tribal schooner]

she is a beast afterall

[shy stirrup]

So I’m gonna choose to ignore it

[reef scarab]

It’s pretty vague what all that means though

[nimble pebble]

Ignoring it doesn't change its validity

[shy stirrup]

Can u tell me which AMA

[fiery coral]

but then why have that there

what's the point of having an ending like that, if it has no consequences

[tribal schooner]

the one where they said it

[fiery coral]

[shy stirrup]

I think all endings are cannon but they are alternate timelines

[young walrus]

That makes no sense

[nimble pebble]

Why are all endings a 17th century artillery

[shy stirrup]

Bro it’s 10pm I’m not trying to make sense

[fiery coral]

They certainly are, yeah; there's no way any two of them can happen simultaneously

[young walrus]

Understandable, have a nice day

[tribal schooner]

i was jsut making a joke about her being super awsome and therefore can strutt out of the egg at her leisrue and also the irony that she is the daughter of herra the beast making her at least part beast as well

[shy stirrup]

Being part beast doesn’t make you immune to void

[reef scarab]

I mean, what else would happen when the knight kills THK instead of dreamnailing them? It could just as easily be there for the purpose of it not being “yeah she fucked out of the egg real fast when she sensed danger”

[nimble pebble]

Hornet doesn't die in any HK endiings is canon fact, though she is in perma sleep mode unless some external means breaks the seal

[shy stirrup]

Pillow are you messing with me or did Tc actually say that hornet doesn’t die

[nimble pebble]

Not messing with you

[young walrus]

Hornet doesn’t die in any but the sibling ending tho

[haughty brook]

Also, the point of all the endings in HK is that the Radiance is stopped, either temporally or permantly, but she and her plague are stopped in some way or another.

[shy stirrup]

Pillow is saying Tc said hornet doesn’t die in sealed siblings

[tribal schooner]

how does that not make sense the fact that there are multiple endings proves there are separate timelines. they are all canon because they all canonically progress the story all are considered equally valid but not considered the same, nor the events that take place after the corresponding endings

[tribal schooner]

like i said just a joke

[fiery coral]

What should happen is that she either dies, or at least is permanently incapacitated.

Tell me the ending has any impact at all if the player comes to know she can get out and fight normally regardless.

[tribal schooner]

now i need a gif of hornet strutting tho

[young walrus]

She sacrifices herself to become a dreamer, look what happened to Herrah, Lurien and Monomon when they were woken up

[shy stirrup]

Yeah. Like dream no more and sealed siblings literally can’t coexist

They must be alternate timelines

[young walrus]

Wait why are we talking about this in ss-discussion

[nimble pebble]

Even if we disregard the Reddit AMA for a second the seal wouldn't still be there if she died

[shy stirrup]

Because it revolves around ss’s endings

[young walrus]

I mean the only one that interferes with ss intro is sibling ending

[nimble pebble]

No it doesn't

[shy stirrup]

Ohhhh fair point pillow

[fiery coral]

Again, as I've said before, I think it was TC's desire to stick to their statement about all endings being canon that brought about the existence of seal breaking bugs; in doing so, though, they render the worst ending for Hornet obsolete

[shy stirrup]

Ok but that still means hornet is permanently trapped.

[young walrus]

I require an explanation good sir

[nimble pebble]

Seal Breaker bugs

[shy stirrup]

And I still think hornet would have eventually died

[fiery coral]

@young walrus

[reef scarab]

I thought the dreamers had seals that prevented them from waking up

[young walrus]

Oh like the ones that broke the citadel seal on Hornet?

[nimble pebble]

ye

[shy stirrup]

Or being hurt

That’s why you can’t just kill them straight up

[young walrus]

Thing is though that we don’t know if they’re in Hallownest and we haven’t ever seen any there either

[nimble pebble]

Hornet doesn't have a seal on her to prevent her from waking up the only reason she's even a dreamer is because she's in the egg

[shy stirrup]

I think she would have still died

And then the seal would have broken

[reef scarab]

…but team cherry said she doesn’t

[nimble pebble]

They aren't in hallownest, however if they came from Pharloom to capture her they could have brought some with them

[young walrus]

That’s a good point

[shy stirrup]

Well they said she doesn’t die in the ending

[fiery coral]

What makes someone a Dreamer by the way

[shy stirrup]

She could have died after the ending takes place

[fiery coral]

Is it just someone who sleeps a long while

[nimble pebble]

Grasping at straws now are we

[reef scarab]

Yeah that’s a little farfetched at this point I don’t think they were being vague about that

[shy stirrup]

Hell yeah brother

Ok but we all agree that she is at least permanently trapped right

[nimble pebble]

yes

[fiery coral]

like, what is in the Black Egg that makes someone a Dreamer should they fall unconscious inside it

[reef scarab]

me being permanently asleep after I took a nap in this wacky egg I found

[shy stirrup]

Why doesn’t the hollow knight become his own seal

[nimble pebble]

Truly a conundrum

[shy stirrup]

I’m sure he slept sometimes

[young walrus]

Now that I think abt it, was there some sort of ritual that was to be performed to become a dreamers cuz they have a seal of binding that protects them from physical damage

[shy stirrup]

The knight canonically takes naps

[reef scarab]

Honestly when they say all endings are canon I don’t think it’s like “they all happen but also Silksong sometimes doesn’t”

[young walrus]

The Knight canonically has children

[shy stirrup]

I think they just mean alternate timelines but that’s a really simple answer so they don’t say it straight up

[nimble pebble]

How would it sometimes dodesn't

[olive bobcat]

THK is in Silksong btw (fake image)

[reef scarab]

The Knight has no mind to dream, and I think as the infection vessel himself THK wouldn’t also be a dreamer

[nimble pebble]

Also all endings are canon to HK not necessarily to SS but I believe if there were to be an instance of refering to HK's endings it would be all or none

[nimble pebble]

The knight does have a mind

And most certainly a will

[shy stirrup]

Well the vessels were SUPPOSED to not have a mind to dream

[reef scarab]

That depends on interpretation

[shy stirrup]

Just like how thk was SUPPOSED to not fail

[haughty brook]

I think this discussion belongs to the lore channel.

[shy stirrup]

But thats besides the point

[nimble pebble]

It doesn't, it makes decisions and does things it wouldn't need to if it were just following its mission like helping other bugs

Also Voidheart canonically works under TK"s will

The vessel plan was flawed to begin with

Since THK also has a mind and will

It's why the plan failed

[reef scarab]

But at that point, wouldn’t the knight be protected from dreams of the radiance if they have a will by the void

I seriously don’t see some endings leading to Silksong and some not

[nimble pebble]

It's not will by the void the void is unified under the knights will

[reef scarab]

I know that’s what I was saying

guess we gotta ask about ss ending leading to SS in the next ama they might do sometime

[nimble pebble]

Well all endings are canon, so all of them could plausibility lead into it since all it needs is hornet being captured and that's possible from all endings

[reef scarab]

^

Unless someone asks in an AMA later on down the line if one happens then I don’t think we’ll really know how she escapes the egg

[ivory moth]

Just because all endings are canon doesn’t mean silksong has to be consistent with all of them, my guess is that ending will be ignored.

Silksong can just lead off even 1 of the hollow knight endings and still be a sequel

[reef scarab]

But would they really create a branched path hollowverse instead of simplifying it to where she somehow escapes?

[nimble pebble]

Seal Breaker bugs

[nimble pebble]

in the AMA that said all endings are canon they also said they would keep this in mind for future games

I doubt they'd ignore an ending

TBH they'll probably leave it ambiguous

and since SS is standalone there's no actual reason nor obligation to even reference them

And if you want a confirmation of a sequel then hornet dying in a SS ending could be one, or actually simply not ever returning to Hallownest

[reef scarab]

elaborate? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

[vivid belfry]

hornet dying means HK can't follow SS

[serene chasm]

Is the thing happening again?

[vivid belfry]

hornet not returning to hallownest also means HK can't follow SS

[ivory moth]

Oh ok fair enough

[ivory moth]

Yeah nah very true

[old hatch]

they could say in another game that theres a bug that can revive bugs

[nimble pebble]

I mean why's it matter if she's not dead

Unless you want to basedly revive Isma so Ogrim can be with his love

[serene chasm]

Make this happy TC! our boy deserves to be happy

[nimble pebble]

Let Ogrim be happy, he deserves it

[wet moss]

i have something to say
fartloom
goodbye

[mortal bluff]

Deserves what, death?

[nimble pebble]

Happiness

Like I said, in that sentence

[barren roost]

he won't be, though

[nimble pebble]

He can be if I make TC make it happen

[serene chasm]

no u

[grim forge]

True

[barren roost]

hello, echo

[livid creek]

I wonder if there will be a something in silksong that's similar to the Delicate Flower quest or the White Palace

[olive bobcat]

Silk Soul

[grim forge]

[modest laurel]

Anyone else think there’ll be some bosses in Silksong that are based on spirits from the spirit glade in resting grounds

[livid creek]

Possibly

Would be cool.

[chilly nexus]

i don't think they'll be bosses unfortunately na. the spirit's glade was a backer thing and all backers of that tier got the same treatment. If only a handful were to be turned into bosses in SS, it'd leave a number of the backers out

their design could inspire things in SS unintentionally or without TC recognizing it as such though

but definitely nothing overt

[nimble pebble]

They didn't pay for the Boss tier

So they don't get a boss

[livid creek]

That would be a impossible boss smh

[nimble pebble]

Being large with a club isn't exclusive to that backer character

It's a pretty common trope

[stone comet]

i was gonna say that.. weapon over the shoulder is a very common pose

[nimble pebble]

[severe skiff]

Idk the husk guard is the only other enemy that does that

[stone comet]

its still a common (and very easy) character pose

[severe skiff]

Ok

[nimble pebble]

It's common in fiction in general

[olive bobcat]

If you consider Santa's bag to be a weapon then he technically falls into the trope

[stone comet]

it is a weapon what do you mean

[olive bobcat]

No character in Smash is more famous than Santa, get him into Smash

[stone comet]

i agree

[nimble pebble]

Agreed

Thoughts on returning characters in silksong? Or perhaps characters that are from hallownest, but we've never seen

[tranquil igloo]

idk.

[bleak tendon]

That still doesn't apply to characters we've never seen that are from hallownest

[tranquil igloo]

we see hornet

thats a character.

from hallownest

[bleak tendon]

We've seen hornet before

[tranquil igloo]

umm

we don't see peanuts from hallownest

that was a character that was supposed to be in.. uh it was a peanut mascot

[bleak tendon]

???

[tranquil igloo]

yeah... we never seen him from hallownest

[tawdry valley]

You mean new characters period

If they’re from HN as their backstory, it doesn’t really matter. The story of HN can’t really be too radically expanded on beyond what we already know (partially for reasons the other message already explained)

[tawdry valley]

They mean a new bug character that happens to have been from Hallownest

[tranquil igloo]

uhh

[tranquil igloo]

????

a new character thats from the old kingdom? dosen't count as a new character?

[tawdry valley]

facts

[edgy sleet]

any speculation for release today

[tranquil igloo]

No

[tawdry valley]

Nothing different from yesterday

[coarse leaf]

Or tomorrow

[obtuse glacier]

We won't know if ss is coming tomorrow until tomorrow happens

[tawdry valley]

I have used my gift of prophecy and can confirm with 100% certainty it will not come out tomorrow

[pallid flare]

thank you

[edgy sleet]

i mean why can't they give us news

[burnt topaz]

what kind of news you looking for?

[edgy sleet]

just gameplay and stuff we can look at

[normal hinge]

they don't want to reveal anything yet

[burnt topaz]

I guess thats it, they've already shown the max of what they want to show, bar whatever will be in the release trailer

[coarse leaf]

I think the trailer and the demonstration at E3 from 2 years ago is enough for showing the gameplay. If continue to show, it would be spoiling alot

[edgy sleet]

ig

i am still hoping for 2021 release

[coarse leaf]

not "i", its "we"

[edgy sleet]

lol

i feel like it will though this year

[tribal merlin]

highly unlikely

don't count on it

[olive bobcat]

The cycle continues

[ocean mulch]

[umbral gazelle]

good afternoon

[fiery coral]

good afternoon Diraw

[surreal mortar]

Nah cheesoid I would say it’s likely

There’s not really any reason why it wouldn’t

[pallid flare]

there is also no reason why it would

[surreal mortar]

Apart from the fact that it has to come out at some point and has been in development for 4 years

[signal crag]

not enough time, 4 more years, just to be safe

also, it's unclear if it has been 4 full years

[fading tide]

if it was going to come out in 2021 wouldn't the release date have already been given

well ig I don't know how much time TC gives before releases

[jolly silo]

idk why people just cant be patient, TC will bring it out when its ready

[fading tide]

I think people are fine with being patient, it's more of like a lot are curious to know about the progress

TC doesn't really give updates so all we can do is speculate

[jolly silo]

yeah i guess, but there have been some updates with information

[fading tide]

for sure, but the last one was more than half a year ago iirc

only natural that with a game so good people will want more

[jolly silo]

true, i just feel like people dont speculate about the game (in this channel), just the release date

[fading tide]

that's definitely true. probably because there isn't much to speculate anymore about the game itself

(because TC hasn't given much)

[jolly silo]

yea its understandable

[fading tide]

only so much speculation that can be done before it gets stale, and so then all we have left is the release date. it's mostly positive though, HK was so damn good that people can't help but obsess over a full sequel

[jolly silo]

yeah, i obsess too, and i get what you mean about the speculation getting stale, i guess we can hope for another update on the content or something soon, but TC will do that on their own time ig

[fading tide]

yep, exactly. until then only pain

[odd spoke]

Until then buy their merch

[visual spear]

A site in which you can buy game keys on discount says that Silksong will release in 2021.

[fading tide]

I don't know how trustworthy that is though

[visual spear]

it is a popular site, but yea you never know

[fading tide]

true, imma have healthy skepticism for anything not from TC

[visual spear]

Yea im waiting for the real deal from TC

[coarse leaf]

I mean, there's still a good chunk of 2021 left. It could happen.

Inb4 TC releases Silksong on December 31st

[fading tide]

das ok with me, I'll be on break so I can grind that MF out

[dry valley]

i am 100% going to be spending all of my free time playing ss when it comes out

if i don't, i'll just get spoiled online by profasiagaming

that motherfucker

[pallid flare]

imagine playing through it in a week and being like "now what"

[dry valley]

i'm sure ss will have tons of content to go through anyway

that would be pretty funny though i think perhaps

[coarse leaf]

Every year we are like 'Silksong this/next year' . But it can even come 2024 😅

[severe skiff]

How’s Silksong

[coarse leaf]

Isnt there like an option somewhere to block yourself from seeing their vids?

[spare yew]

guys i know what team cherry is doing!!!!

[vivid belfry]

Maybe I'm blessed but I haven't seen a profasiagaming video in my recommended in like 2 years

[spare yew]

[coarse leaf]

Back to waiting 😎

[jolly silo]

gamin 😎

[coarse leaf]

Graig as usual league of legends

Honestly, kinda cool to play through the game as fast as possible just to get back typing here

Time well spent

[vivid belfry]

I don't care about discussing this game until I'm done with it

[dry valley]

He’ll be back. He always comes back

[vivid belfry]

Unless I got stuck, which would never happen

[jolly silo]

everybody asks when silksong... but never how is silksong?

[coarse leaf]

Or you know...missed something?

[vivid belfry]

I'll just use the wiki for that

[coarse leaf]

But Wiki not fast enough for my gamer god taste 😎

[vivid belfry]

But ideally I will have gotten good enough at checking every wall for cracks / the game will have better direction for clearing out 100%

[coarse leaf]

I think I'll rather wait till Relyea describes it to me in a video

[vivid belfry]

I think the quest system will help with that

[coarse leaf]

Depending on how cool they are 😏

[vivid belfry]

Regardless of if they're good, they make it less likely to miss content

If you miss Nosk's hideout after getting the grub there, there is zero indication that it exists

I found this hideout because I have cracked wall vision

[coarse leaf]

Nah fella, you got cracked vision

[vivid belfry]

But having even vague pointers to that sort of thing is good imo

You know it exists but you don't know exactly where

[coarse leaf]

there

[signal crag]

yeah, that would be nice

[coarse leaf]

yeah, that would be nice

[pallid flare]

that would be pretty neat, I agree

[signal crag]

[coarse leaf]

Since when did this server have 131K members? Didn’t we just hit 100K or something?

[serene chasm]

Yeah. In February iirc

[coarse leaf]

About to hit 150K in no time
Which means new mod apps in no time

[pallid flare]

early march

[serene chasm]

Wonder who's next o be infected

[cunning geode]

The infection grants incredible strength at the cost of joining the staff hive mind

[pallid flare]

i dont want to be infected

[coarse leaf]

If that’s the case, allow me to chug it all

[hollow terrace]

which is what we called our league of legends club

[cunning geode]

speaking of league i haven’t seen Joker in a bit

Hopefully it’s not a repeat of last year

[coarse leaf]

League of Legends?

No thanks. Not interested in modship for this server anymore

[pallid flare]

he lost access of his account once again

[manic zenith]

dont remember it giving incredible strength

[hollow terrace]

any mod apps wanters?

[pallid flare]

to become infected or not, that is the question...

[analog forge]

Nope

[coarse leaf]

I would say yes if it meant no LoL

[cunning geode]

window this is the equivalent of walking into the bar at 3 AM and asking the 3 or 5 people in there if they want a job

[viral pivot]

XD

[coarse leaf]

The exception is that I’m GEF

[hollow terrace]

where else would you get workers for the night shift

[pallid flare]

no you are EEF

[analog forge]

Becoming a mod is like selling your soul, minus all the benefits

[cunning geode]

in all fairness it’s really not

[pallid flare]

is modding actually any fun

[coarse leaf]

Simply be a mod and quit your job whenever E3 arrives, then return when it’s over

[analog forge]

no, e3 is actually the easiest time to be a mod, because of the 2 hour slow mode

[coarse leaf]

Remember when the slowmode was six fucking hours and the chat still went lightning fast?

[pallid flare]

yes

[viral pivot]

really? When was that

[hollow terrace]

never

[pallid flare]

that one nintendo world i think

[analog forge]

presumably during the... incident

[hollow terrace]

itd never happen

[coarse leaf]

It happened. I would know, I was muted during the chaos

[pallid flare]

i remember that day fondly

[hollow terrace]

highest it was 5 minutes

[viral pivot]

the highest slowmode i think i can remember was 6 or 8 mins

[analog forge]

now i know thats not true, i vividly remember 10 minute slow mode

[pallid flare]

I remember a hours long slow mode too

[hollow terrace]

And all of you call yourselves silksong fans

[coarse leaf]

We do?

[hollow terrace]

spreading misinformation like it’s nothing

[pallid flare]

maybe it's you who is wrong

[viral pivot]

can we call ourselves a fan of a game we havent experienced yet?

[coarse leaf]

Well, isn’t that what silksong fans do anyways?

[hollow terrace]

what else you’ll tell me that silksong is in the ready stages of being released?

[pallid flare]

soon

[hollow terrace]

For shame all of you

[viral pivot]

soon

[pallid flare]

we are not allowed to disclose more

[coarse leaf]

Yeah. At this point the game’s done. Wilbo and Ari’s doing a little trolling ( 🦈) and making all of us suffer while they wait for Crowsworn to release

Anyways, Ogrim will return. He went to Pharloom

[pallid flare]

no he did not

[analog forge]

can i go to pharloom? :(

[vivid belfry]

Ogrim is the basketball in the giant mech basketball minigame

[pallid flare]

not yet

[nimble radish]

you guys haven't heard the new groundbreaking silksong theory, Ogrim and Hornet, one and the same

[vivid belfry]

Who is also hegemol

[nimble radish]

that means hornet is the maggot

and the maggots don't deal damage
So silksong is a platformer with no combat

[pallid flare]

okay guys, hear me out

(h)egem(o)l(rnet)

[coarse leaf]

Yea he did. I heard a voice coming out of my toilet, Ogrim stopped by to inform me

[pallid flare]

you may want a plumber to check out your toilet

[coarse leaf]

No need to if Ogrim is out there somewhere, protecting the pipes

Dung defender, pipe protector, shit savior

[analog forge]

clog connector

[hardy oasis]

ogrim may not be in ss but his family is

[pallid flare]

no it can not

[serene chasm]

yes it can

[wide mango]

That’s ogrims and lemms unwanted lovechild

[vivid belfry]

Smh people still calling this gentleman a poop man when it's clearly a crusty old shell

[pallid flare]

i got baited, i wasn't responding to the thing above

[serene chasm]

but poop is funny

[vivid belfry]

Compelling evidence......

poop funny, court is adjourned

[reef scarab]

everyone shut up new stizzl video just dropped

[coarse leaf]

have you ever seen mud before tho

methinks this is a mud village

[pallid flare]

sorry but this is stinky town

[coarse leaf]

:(

[tall hinge]

[nimble pebble]

It's Barnacle town

[barren roost]

did you know, you're the fifth person this month to say that
I'd say it has been asked

[umbral gazelle]

silksong will release

[pallid flare]

when

[nimble pebble]

only 5?

[tall hinge]

look at this guys, she thinks silksong will release

[nimble radish]

but with your donations, we can prevent this

[pallid flare]

where do I donate

[tall hinge]

buy 100 copies of hollow knight

:)

[nimble pebble]

We should use a bot that bans silknever jokes

[nimble radish]

if you say silksong an release in the same sentence you should get muted

[nimble pebble]

Cause off topic discussions here are less of a waste of space than the people who make them

[tall hinge]

[nimble pebble]

Headpats

[pallid flare]

[nimble pebble]

[tranquil igloo]

imagine not having silksong already

[nimble pebble]

If someone tries to say "Hornet is void" we should have a bot that autocorrects it to nice lady each time and cofuse the shit out of people

[nimble pebble]

ikr? this game do be a banger though

[tranquil igloo]

fr

[nimble radish]

but you can't edit messages

[nimble pebble]

Champions hall is one of my favourite parts

[nimble radish]

unless you're the poster

[nimble pebble]

You fool, bots can

[tranquil igloo]

the beasts of gods is my favorite part of the game so far

[nimble pebble]

Fair enough

Triso is such a fun boss even if it's hard at first

[tranquil igloo]

oh really? midknight is too hard for me

his saw blades take all your health

[nimble pebble]

Midknight? I think the strat is to use the spike ring tool to pogo over him and then go for ome backs swings when vulnerable

[tranquil igloo]

i will try that he's just a pain

[barren roost]

you absolute clown look what you just did

[mystic canyon]

Hello ! I haven’t checked in in a few months, any news on the horizon ?

[pallid flare]

silksong release

uhh, bad timing

[vivid belfry]

Silksong releases spins wheel on halloween

[mystic canyon]

Lmao

[pallid flare]

PAX is happening soon but I dont think that there's gonna be anything there

[barren roost]

I haven't actually heard many people asking if we think there'll be news there

[signal crag]

maybe they are not aware of the event?

[barren roost]

I guess

[vagrant umbra]

I’m looking forward to the spongebob and regular show meme about no news at PAX.

[signal crag]

the regular show one is pretty used, huh?

[jolly silo]

The mental health of silksong is very important, so the question has to be asked a few times

[surreal mortar]

I love how hollow knight came out alongside horizon zero dawn and botw and at this rate, both of those games sequels will be out before Silksong

[pallid flare]

do you love it or do you find it depressing

[jolly silo]

Play those sequels while you wait lol

[surreal mortar]

Relish in pain

[surreal mortar]

That’s the plan

[jolly silo]

Alternatively, you can just do the path of pain over and over hoping that pain hides your true pain

[surreal mortar]

I did it hitless and I’m kind of happy enough with that lol.

[jolly silo]

Ah, it’s not so painful for you then, I guess there a couple different things to do

1. cry
   2)cry
   3)sob
   4)scream

[pallid flare]

play other games

such as

1. omori
2. omori
3. omori

[jolly silo]

Multitask, cry while playing omori

[stark prism]

ew omori

it's better idea to eat cobweb than to play omori

[jolly silo]

I take it you dislike the game

[stark prism]

yes
since it is not as good as witcher 1

[pallid flare]

yeah you can do that too

the witcher one stands uncontested on the number one spot

[stark prism]

indeed

[mortal bluff]

Do any of you think 3 mask damage will show up in silksong?

[vivid belfry]

Probably not

In a game with reduced iframes and binding not being as overpowered as people are making it out to be, there are less lazy ways to increase difficulty

[heavy spear]

Is SS a prequel to hk? My brother told me that it happens before hk, but i think he is wrong

[vivid belfry]

We don't know but probably not

[odd elk]

Imma say nah

[prisma ledge]

Well, if the devs want all endings to be equally canon

maybe it will be a sequel

[vivid belfry]

Weird logic but I agree with the conclusion

[nimble radish]

I'm fully aware that this isn't funny anymore
but I'm going to stick with what I said about midquelsong

[heavy spear]

Midquel what?

[nimble radish]

midquelsong

[heavy spear]

What is that

[nimble radish]

silksong occurs during hollow knight

[heavy spear]

So, it isnt before or after?

[nimble radish]

in the middle

[vivid belfry]

Between CoT cutscene and hornet 2

[heavy spear]

So it happens in the middle of hollow knight? Like, every time we arent seeing hornet in HK she is doing silksong stuff?

[floral kindle]

Exactly

[signal crag]

yeah

[nimble radish]

that's your personal theory, I have a much better time for it to happen

[heavy spear]

So, she gets out of hallownest?

[floral kindle]

Obviously

[heavy spear]

What is cot?

[vivid belfry]

City of tears

[rapid topaz]

that sounds weird but why not

[odd elk]

City of lake rain

[nimble radish]

city of piss

[heavy spear]

Terraria crimson be like

For how long have they been producing ss?

[nimble radish]

couple of weeks idk

[jolly silo]

At least 2 days

[signal crag]

it's not clear, but around 3 years at least, maybe even more

[daring storm]

They've said since HK was released. But it was planned to just be a DLC back then

[signal crag]

it was supposed to be a DLC very early, almost only in the kickstarter times

[coarse leaf]

Guys Crowsworn is already passed their 600k mark, this is getting interesting

[dreamy zenith]

yep

[coarse leaf]

I assume the game would cost like 30 bucks with the new features and dlcs expansions being in place.

[dreamy zenith]

630k roughly

[heavy spear]

Have the devs been giving out info on the development of ss or at least life sings?

[coarse leaf]

Nope

[signal crag]

nah, not really

it seems like it's going well, but no more specific than that

[coarse leaf]

I haven't seen any updates about Ss in months

[dreamy zenith]

Well you can back 17$ to get the teir that gets you the game so hmm.
$20 makes more sense

[heavy spear]

Are they going to do the hk kickstarter stuff like adding ghosts made by the supporters?

[dreamy zenith]

Kinda

[signal crag]

some backer content that they couldn't implement in HK will be added in Silksong instead

[coarse leaf]

Yeah that my thought as that the bare minimum if you want a digital copy

[dreamy zenith]

Yep

[signal crag]

also, it's still unknown if they will do post launch contents for Silksong

[dreamy zenith]

theres a cs version of shrine of beleivers basically

and also quest lines or bosses as really high backer teirs

[signal crag]

seems reasonable

[coarse leaf]

I probably place some cash in, so I dont have to worry about buying it on launch and digital wallpaper sounds cool

[heavy spear]

Would be pretty cool if they added something like the grimm troupe in silk song. Not exactly the grimm troupe, but something that brings a brand new aesthetic that is unique to them

[coarse leaf]

They might have

They haven't told us too much yet

[signal crag]

grimm troupe has no reason to be in Pharloom, since it's not a dead kingdom (yet, at least)

[prisma ledge]

They are making another masterpiece

Masterpieces take time

[heavy spear]

I know. What i meant with something like a grimm troupe, as in something that adds a brand new aesthetic to the game which is only unique to them

Not a grimm troupe, but something that has the same execution as grimm troupe

[signal crag]

as long it's original and interesting , then yeah, sure

[coarse leaf]

Did you back the project as well?

[heavy spear]

Backing the project you mean like, funding them?

Nope. Still too young to acquire a sustainable amount of currency

[coarse leaf]

Oh

[serene chasm]

It will be interesting to see if TC makes any dlc like GT

[coarse leaf]

Its all good

[tidal obsidian]

So I'm new here. Is are all of the movement options going to stay ie ||double jump, dash, wall jump,|| or are there going to be different ones?

Obviously you'll have to find them like in hk

[serene chasm]

Have you tried robbery?

[heavy spear]

Not related, but you dont need to mark spoilers on anything here (yet)

[coarse leaf]

Parent allowance

[tidal obsidian]

Ok.

[signal crag]

wall jump looks to be mostly the same
"dash" it's a bit different, and you can hold it to make hornet sprint
we don't know if Double jump will be in Silksong

[tidal obsidian]

Ok. Thanks

[heavy spear]

Got 60 money i acumulated from bday presents and brought it

[nimble radish]

time for hornet with the celeste dash

[serene chasm]

What are all the moves we know so far?

[serene chasm]

That might actually work

[coarse leaf]

You mean you already used it? That ok you just wouldn't get the cool stuff and have your name at the end credits

[signal crag]

like, just movement abilities, or ALL of her moveset?

[heavy spear]

Btw, how is hornet's ability going to work? I saw she hooks onto enemies and attack them, but that seems like a terrible idea since getting up close onto enemies is generally bad (at least in hk)

[coarse leaf]

As if that what I would want

[prisma ledge]

i think like a stab and bounces back

[signal crag]

few Invincibility frames could solve that issue

[coarse leaf]

Hornet speedy

[pallid flare]

hornet will commit genocide

[nimble radish]

gotta complete that bestiary

[signal crag]

genocide route then

[coarse leaf]

Pyro has evolved

[pallid flare]

wdym evolved

[signal crag]

what do you mean?
that still isn't pyro final form

[coarse leaf]

You pfp, I never seen that change and your username is longer.

[pallid flare]

i will reach my ultimate form on silksong release

[nimble radish]

so, soon then?

[coarse leaf]

Alright see you guys later, we be seeing pyro screaming to the top of his lungs as soon as Silksong drops.

[pallid flare]

no, never

[vivid belfry]

Dash is on press, sprint continues out of dash

So you can't sprint without dashing (unless maybe sprint state works if you hold dash during the damage animation or something idk)

[signal crag]

you can also spam dash, not sure if there is any real reason to

[heavy spear]

Still seems like a terrible move when it comes to positioning

[vivid belfry]

Dash spam is for more precise positioning I think

[heavy spear]

Unless they desing bosses which are weak agaisnt this

[vivid belfry]

Hornet's dash is teeny tiny

[signal crag]

the move she does in the trailer? it launches her in the air, for a combo with the dive attack

[vivid belfry]

No, her dash

[serene chasm]

Cloak Glide seems interesting

[heavy spear]

So, its like a worse double jump?

[signal crag]

i was talking about Doro's comment, but maybe it was about her grappling attack?

[heavy spear]

But even if it looks bad, i feel like TC knows what they are doing

[signal crag]

i mean, she's using it for just a moment

[heavy spear]

Every mechanic in HK works properly and is useful in their own situations. I believe they will manage to make it good

[signal crag]

if there's no double jump, then the game will be balanced around that, simple enough.
people were saying that her new healing method makes her OP because they don't know better

[serene chasm]

change is scary

[heavy spear]

What is her healing method?

[analog forge]

Double jump always feels like a get out of jail free when it comes to platforming

And combat

[serene chasm]

Binding. Hornet can heal 3 masks super fast, but if you get hit you lose the silk and the masks.

[signal crag]

she heals almost instantly (even while in the air ) by consuming all her silk spool for 3 masks.

[vivid belfry]

All her starting spool*

[heavy spear]

Imo the instakill makes it fair since she will be healing a lot

[signal crag]

yeah, right

[signal crag]

it's not an instant kill

[serene chasm]

Its not instakill. I worded it wrong

[heavy spear]

Losing all mask doesnt equal death?

[signal crag]

she just don't get any masks from the heal

see it in this way: she has 3 masks out of 6 and she tries to heal, an enemy hits her, now those 3 masks from the heal are nullified, plus she loses one mask from the hit like usual, so she's left with 2 masks

[heavy spear]

Does anyone have the clip where hornet is walking like a spider? I want to see it again

[signal crag]

it's in the trailer

[vivid belfry]

Do we actually know that she loses an extra mask?

We've never seen this behavior work as intended

[signal crag]

it....seems reasonable that it happens?

[heavy spear]

I mean, that makes sense tbh. If you get hit, you lose hp. If the healing is interrupted, you lose the healed health AND an already existing mask

[signal crag]

but yeah, it's quite bugged how it works in the demo

[vivid belfry]

I think it's also reasonable that they would get rid of that behavior from HK since it's so much riskier already

[heavy spear]

Is the demo out?

[signal crag]

no, it's not public

[vivid belfry]

It could go either way

[serene chasm]

And of course, even as fast and as powerful as Bind is, if Hornet gets hit during the action, the healing effect will be wasted and the silk will be gone! Staying alert is highly advised!

Sounds like she doesnt lose a mask if hit during healing

[signal crag]

and probably never will

[heavy spear]

Mfw im on console only

[vivid belfry]

You're no worse off being console only

The demo isn't accessible anywhere

[signal crag]

yeah, it changes nothing

[heavy spear]

Ah nvm i read it wrong

[serene chasm]

Only way to play the demo is to break into Leth's house. That is if you survive the gauntlet of Ninja crocodiles guarding the place

[vivid belfry]

In fact I think the demo has primarily been on consoles

[signal crag]

also, as extra info, TC doesn't really have plans for a public demo anyway

[heavy spear]

Well, ill wait for SS to release. In the meantime ill go 112% hk in steel soul

[pallid flare]

have fun

i think i have made a bet again

shit

[signal crag]

i mean, there's still some time left tho?

and christmas blogpost is mostly a safe bet....
unless it's not this time, then yeah, you're fucked

[barren roost]

not looking too good

[pallid flare]

no shaman stone for me

i am not ready for the commitment

[chilly nexus]

december news gang

[serene chasm]

would be happy with news whenever gang

[pallid flare]

i need news or i am screwed gang

[serene chasm]

what did you do Pyro?

[pallid flare]

this

[analog forge]

How much is 14%?

[pallid flare]

bare minimum but with cloak + hornet

[serene chasm]

TC will see that post and not release news just to spite you

[analog forge]

you didnt say you had to beat the game at 14%, only that you'd do 14%

[pallid flare]

oh my god

thank you ijones72

[barren roost]

what a kind soul

[pallid flare]

i owe you something

[analog forge]

im ijones27, dummy >:(

[nimble pebble]

[pallid flare]

wait weren't you ijones72 a little while ago

[nimble radish]

this is the alternate timeline

[pallid flare]

how do I go back i dont like this at all

[nimble radish]

there is no going back

[pallid flare]

:(

[nimble pebble]

Welcome to the constant shifting tides of time

[reef scarab]

Wrong actually! In the demo where hornet is hit while binding, you don’t see the masks recover but she gets hit a couple times without taking any damage.

[pallid flare]

yeah it was only visually

[reef scarab]

It’s just a UI glitch, you seem to get the health no matter what

[coarse leaf]

i wonder if pharloom will be a dead kingdom or an alive one

[nimble radish]

it's pretty alive

[pallid flare]

apparently it's going to be alive

not for long though

[nimble radish]

:hornetgenocide:

[valid sable]

We shall take down this kingdom

[pallid flare]

there is a staggering amount of hornet emotes

[nimble radish]

you didn't even use all the hornet emotes

[pallid flare]

that's all I have

[nimble radish]

I guess you're not getting them from mosscord then

[pallid flare]

i don't like mosscord

[nimble radish]

you don't have to like it to use their emotes

[pallid flare]

dunno

[sacred solstice]

Same I absolutely despise it

The admins too

Hate every one of them

[pallid flare]

they're even weirder than we are

[sacred solstice]

100%

[normal hinge]

mosscord is

meh

[vivid belfry]

The intended behavior is losing the masks, the fact that they were still there IS the glitch

And this is probably a frame perfect or close to frame perfect glitch anyway

Hornet gets hit after the binding animation finishes but BEFORE the masks finish filling in visually

I imagine that's what caused the glitch

And that window is unbelievably slim given how fast both animations are

[olive bobcat]

Mosscord
cring

[hollow terrace]

please don’t start dog piling on other servers

[vivid belfry]

This isn't the window I was talking about

[wide mango]

crinj

[vivid belfry]

I think you look to be a healthy weight

[nimble radish]

window the unbelievably slim shark

[hollow terrace]

Still in lockdown so…

[pallid flare]

we're all cringe in the end

[hollow terrace]

lost my jaw though

[nimble pebble]

Window is making sure he's in shape for the Olympics

Where He'll surely win the Gold medal

[nimble radish]

he's a shark, he'll ace the swimming

[olive bobcat]

I can only eat soft foods and I have never missed pizza more

[pallid flare]

never had any problems with jaw gang

[hollow terrace]

Anywho uh, silksong enemies are dorks if they can ruined my healing with frame perfect hits

[wide mango]

Soft and wet

Look at me winning comedy of the year award

[olive bobcat]

[vivid belfry]

Fucking up healing isnt frame perfect, but not fucking up healing and making it look like they did might be

Or it might be patched by now

[hollow terrace]

Looks like we need to ask graig for this

[pallid flare]

is he even allowed to tell us that

[hollow terrace]

probably not

Infact I was merely bullshitting with my statement

[odd heron]

Any News

[floral kindle]

No

[normal fable]

Pls watch ur language as stated in the discord rules

[wide mango]

I don’t think Graig would know that anyways

[vivid belfry]

It would definitely be hard to check without just asking the coders

[serene chasm]

someone ping jack

[pallid flare]

who?

[vivid belfry]

@manic zenith

This is Jack right

[pallid flare]

i dont know

[feral dew]

hi waiters

how has your year been so far

[floral kindle]

More neutral than water

[reef scarab]

?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.

[reef scarab]

haha gottem with that cringe command

[floral kindle]

Bit late to the party

[wide mango]

?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.

[manic zenith]

Of course

[drowsy pike]

I really hope SS has 3 damage enemies

[reef scarab]

Good news, a lot more than 3 enemies can damage you :D

[drowsy pike]

Obviously they'd have to be easier not to get hit by but I feel like it would help balancing hornet's quick healing

Also we encounter a double damage enemy at the literal start of the, I feel like it would not be too surprising considering TC can mess around like that with high damage enemies even if it's a secret

[pallid flare]

at the start of what

[drowsy pike]

Moss grotto

[reef scarab]

If you go backwards at the start of the demo there’s a two damage enemy I think

[drowsy pike]

Which brings me to send an obligatory reminder

Graig confirmed you could kill Dave in the demo before

[reef scarab]

what

[pallid flare]

he did?

[drowsy pike]

The thought that we may have missed something that you earn or unlock such as a room for killing Dave pains me

[reef scarab]

who is dave

[pallid flare]

big guy in demo

[pallid flare]

neat

[reef scarab]

Man I can’t wait for this game lol

[drowsy pike]

hides behind a secret room at the start of the game
Proceeds to beat the shit out of Hornet
Refuses to elaborate any further

[vivid belfry]

start of the demo anyway

[charred pulsar]

[serene chasm]

Did you defeat Dave, Simo?

[orchid rune]

I can't wait to see the MAP

I just loved hk map and everything also the citadel and the clock tower look really good

[rich pendant]

E

[nimble pebble]

Hey simo

[serene chasm]

Seems Simo is too good for us lowly peasants. /j

[charred pulsar]

Hey

I was getting 🍕

[burnt topaz]

what kind of pizza?

[charred pulsar]

Cheese. Basic today

[pallid flare]

has the pizza arrived

[burnt topaz]

Cheese is simple but does hit the spot

[charred pulsar]

Not yet, i'm picking it up

[olive bobcat]

I should make another map

[burnt topaz]

when was the last map you made?

[olive bobcat]

2020 probs

I think it was this

[serene chasm]

someone should make a deep docks version of this

[burnt topaz]

Im sure Ive seen a deep docks version of it, but it couldve also been the map one

[nimble pebble]

Now Simo I know you can’t reveal anything but is what you’re working on cool

I desire to know how based the work is going

[broken dust]

Any news for relase date?

[languid linden]

Nope

[nimble radish]

haha madeline crouch

[languid linden]

Wait yes actually
We know we will get it when its ready

[serene chasm]

But the question is, are we?

[nimble pebble]

No, we aren’t

[hidden nacelle]

With hornet not being void, how will silksong handle deaths?

[analog forge]

i fail to see what void has to do with defying death

[hidden nacelle]

The knight leaves behind a shade, which has all his items

[analog forge]

She leaves a cocoon instead

[hidden nacelle]

Oh

[olive bobcat]

Yeah she leaves a cocoon

[analog forge]

it was covered in some blogpost

[olive bobcat]

Imma get the pic

[nimble radish]

the demoe

[hidden nacelle]

So does that confirm without a doubt that hornet isn't void?

[nimble radish]

that was already obvious

[analog forge]

the fact hornet talks already confirms without a doubt she isnt void

[olive bobcat]

allow me to present my vessel OC

[analog forge]

no, the collector doesnt talk. At least, not coherently

[manic zenith]

nice silk, awesome cocoon

[vivid belfry]

smh people confusing rules for vessels and void again

also wow I can't believe that silk is so strong it can hold up the cocoon by rooting onto stationary dust particles

[manic zenith]

badass silk

[olive bobcat]

Very cool, silk

[reef scarab]

Hornet: born from a pale being and a cool spider beast
where do you get void from that

[languid linden]

[nimble radish]

the cocoon is filled with helium

[manic zenith]

I prefer a cocoon with copium

[nimble radish]

Herrah's great granddad on her mother's side was one quarter void

[vivid belfry]

herrah is the collector's adoptive niece

[manic zenith]

how did you figure out silksong's twist

[umbral gazelle]

good evening

[olive bobcat]

Bloodedge the vessel
quotes: "meh listens to broken vessel ost"

[nimble radish]

[umbral gazelle]

i played rain world to get away from silksong

now im waiting for a mod for that game to release

[manic zenith]

• Allow me to introduce my vessel oc...This is The Forgotten Vessel
• ...this is the 7th week in a row you've shown The Forgotten Vessel in community

[olive bobcat]

Lore: forgotten in nosk's lair and eventually joins the grimm troupe somehow, also gets infected or something

[manic zenith]

Gets lifeblood infected or something

[olive bobcat]

Has 200 swords but only lets people see 1

[manic zenith]

Have monarch wings, somehow

[olive bobcat]

Of course it has to be claimed "that's all I need"

brb gonna go toss this into picrew

[languid linden]

I am trying not to scream and cry

[olive bobcat]

And because it's a vessel OC it has to have favorite things

[manic zenith]

[olive bobcat]

Radiance lasers because "wings"

[stiff burrow]

You guys sound like the fun police rn
How dare people enjoy doing that

[manic zenith]

[olive bobcat]

You can enjoy it, it just happens to be cringy and funny as hell

[serene chasm]

Its a start

[olive bobcat]

Very pog

[manic zenith]

e🅱️ic

[severe skiff]

Cool

[reef scarab]

Everyone always asks when Silksong, some people ask how Silksong, but nobody asks what’s Silksong

[olive bobcat]

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the epic sequel to Hollow Knight, the award winning action-adventure. As the lethal hunter Hornet, journey to all-new lands, discover new powers, battle vast hordes of bugs and beasts and uncover ancient secrets tied to your nature and your past.

How is it similar to Omori

[reef scarab]

||I mean hornet did try to kill her sibling||

[balmy osprey]

because the atmosphere is depressing

[olive bobcat]

[serene chasm]

this number is too low

[balmy osprey]

sadge

[olive bobcat]

I win again

[serene chasm]

Thats because you friends everyone here

[olive bobcat]

[reef scarab]

I have like four steam friends I think one of them wants it

[serene chasm]

everyone should want SS

Also fuck Amazon

[manic zenith]

Chaddest Silksong vs Virginest Battlefield

[reef scarab]

Imagine we get a release date trailer and it just says “i forgor 💀”

[nimble pebble]

We were 3rd until New world came out

[serene chasm]

Jeffery can suck it

[stiff burrow]

It also seems New World is gonna disappear again in a month cause it releases soon so we can go back to third

[coarse leaf]

silksong is nintendo exclusive

my uncle works at nintendo he can confirm

[manic zenith]

silksong is steam deck exclusive

my uncle is Gaben, trust me

[coarse leaf]

how tf is something steam deck exclusive

steam deck is just a portable pc

[manic zenith]

regular pc now cant run this game

[coarse leaf]

true

[manic zenith]

anyway

silksong when

[coarse leaf]

tomorrow

[manic zenith]

[coarse leaf]

my uncle works at team cherry he can confirm

[nimble pebble]

The $5k steam deck that's so powerful it's stronger than anything but the top top top tier PC

[coarse leaf]

like alienware

[nimble pebble]

[manic zenith]

Cant believe I lived long enough to witness PC 2

[nimble pebble]

PC 3 is coming out soon

I can feel it

[reef scarab]

no six month update

[hollow terrace]

WOOO

[nimble pebble]

TC is full on production mode and has thrown the updates out the window

[nimble radish]

out of who

[nimble pebble]

[reef scarab]

s-silksoon?

[nimble pebble]

Perhaps but who knows

[reef scarab]

Team Cherry does let’s harass them

[nimble pebble]

[reef scarab]

(/j)

[nimble radish]

yeah, fuck em

not the music guy though, this ain't his fault

[languid linden]

But eh, just for good measure

[serene chasm]

Or is it. SS is taking forever because Chris is being super perfectionist with the soundtrack

[nimble pebble]

We all know it's because Wilbo and Ari are waiting for Graig to beat the final boss so they can say it's possible

[reef scarab]

why are they removing the bugs smh don’t we want those

[cunning geode]

you want bugs in the game, not the code

Smh

[nimble pebble]

Bug is code for bug which is code

[barren roost]

nice try
your alt has been caught, Chris

[reef scarab]

God the game looks so fun

[fleet temple]

yeah, it does

[reef scarab]

Hollow Knight I already consider the best Metroidvania of all time

But we’re getting two of them??? The second one being better than the first one??? Woah.

[fleet temple]

i know

walnut

[sage berry]

and do you wanna know the coolest part about all of this

the other side of the pillow

[edgy sleet]

isn't half the game in the citadel?

[fleet temple]

[reef scarab]

I don’t think so

[edgy sleet]

oh i thought mossbag said something about that

[warm bone]

mossbag is not team cherry

[fleet temple]

the correct answer is:

[gaunt fox]

mossbag obviously made the games, who’s teamcherry?

[opal geyser]

Hold up, did something involving silksong actually happen? I’m too tired to read all of these messages

[warm bone]

?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.

[opal geyser]

Yes thank you very helpful

[reef scarab]

If you count stuff like the dirtmouth or the colosseum then the first game has about 19 areas, and half of the game taking place in only the citadel would be pretty limiting

[edgy sleet]

its good cuz i have been waiting for ss for a while now counting on it releasing soon but i have a lot of new games so i don't mind lol

[reef scarab]

Yeah we do feel kinda close don’t we?

[opal geyser]

Why is that?

[reef scarab]

though to be fair we’ve felt rather close multiple times already so I wouldn’t count on it

[edgy sleet]

also yeah that sounds right

[fleet temple]

i feel like mossbag is becoming the new matpat based on peoples jokes about his theories

[haughty brook]

I think TC said in the Edge magazine interview that going into the Citadel is not the end of the game and that you must go to the top of the Citadel or something liek that, I don't remember very well. I guess the Citadel itself is a sizeable/meaningful endgame area.

[gaunt fox]

But actually respectable

[edgy sleet]

yeah most people think early next year but i really think like 2 to 3 months

[reef scarab]

I’ve said this a couple times but my estimate is between fourth quarter 2021 to third quarter 2022

[gaunt fox]

We want it to be in 2-3 months but it needs to be till maybe early next year Imo

[reef scarab]

Id say at the earliest late October to early November but it’ll probably be later than that

[edgy sleet]

yeah

wait one of the mods nick is "9 days!" do you guys think... or am i just getting for too speculative

[gaunt fox]

Unless he’s a playtester, but they do not have the jurisdiction to say how long it’d be so really, no it’s something they’re up to

[reef scarab]

I don’t think the mods know much at all lol

[haughty brook]

I don't think mossbag is a playtester

[gaunt fox]

if he was he would say it lmao

[edgy sleet]

yeah

[reef scarab]

yeah but his mom is in the game and she told him the release date

[gaunt fox]

oh yeah you’re right

[edgy sleet]

lol

[reef scarab]

I hope he makes another hour long explanation video so I know what’s going on

[gaunt fox]

i hope he makes an hour long video of him crying with ss is fake videos playing in the background

[nimble pebble]

Zaliants counter is for Pale court I believe

[trim estuary]

The silence from TC is the calm before the storm ofc

And by the storm I mean TC’s collab with fortnite

[barren roost]

it's there for you to get speculative about, they're just fucking with you

[trim estuary]

They were counting down to my birthday but then they stopped and moved it by like 3 days

[reef scarab]

what have we talked the least about

[serene chasm]

mmm?

[reef scarab]

uhh

[trim estuary]

The HKSS McDonald’s meal

[serene chasm]

Im still trying to get the Lace toy

[reef scarab]

hhhhhh

[trim estuary]

h

[serene chasm]

Lets talk about this ant. Also about Hornet's Needolin

[trim estuary]

That ant is a heretic who loves music

[ocean coral]

do u think hornet could always play her needle or is it something she learned in pharloom

[serene chasm]

Do the ants not love music? Their queen is a flamenco dancer

[trim estuary]

Probably Pharloom cause music and silk is their stuff

[reef scarab]

maybe the church keeper teaches it

[trim estuary]

True

[ocean coral]

oo that would be cool

[reef scarab]

Also do you think hornet passes out in front of them because of exhaustion
