smells like a new character I'm gonna like.

[autumn wren]

[pallid flare]

sherma sucks

[lament mauve]

you suck.

[tribal merlin]

sherma is already dead

[serene chasm]

Sherma is a zombie

woahhhh

[vivid belfry]

Perfect

[hollow terrace]

cant wait for the silksong kills montages

[reef scarab]

I LOVED gang beasts it’s a shame the player base stopped existing

[rancid crow]

YEAH i love it still play with friends sometimes

[reef scarab]

he’s idiot

dummy tried to music open a door

stupid

[clever pike]

I love sherma

[dusk bay]

What about Leonard?

[ocean mulch]

I love him too. So cute

[clever pike]

I think lace is gonna be a really good character

[serene chasm]

Every character will be good. Except sherma

[untold inlet]

[fleet temple]

[warm bone]

zote 2

[nimble pebble]

[vivid belfry]

I think zote's constituent parts were melted down and poured into sherma/garmond

I'm fine

I've got burgers on my mind

[warm bone]

🍔

[ocean mulch]

[nimble pebble]

I've got spaghetti on the mind cause Pops made some sauce

[shadow tulip]

Hey tall ask but can someone bring me up to speed on current silksong lore

[nimble pebble]

There is no lore only silk and song

[shadow tulip]

Hmmmmm

[warm bone]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10wyWpWJAtbRUSrOstN4e1l09mtx-vrjU_IiqdB2QGyc

[vivid belfry]

Silksong lore: hornet got smacked upside the head by some sackhead bitches and dragged to Brazil but the bridge collapsed because that little fucker Lace set off magic C4 (unless she didn't) and now Hornet has to go to a place and do a thing

[nimble pebble]

^

[proud vale]

Steam says that Silksong is apparently similar to Omori and Outer Wilds

Not sure how on both accounts but they're both great games

[warm bone]

silksong soulslike confirmed

[proud vale]

I can see how it's a souls-like, but Omori is definitely a weird one to compare it to

[warm bone]

the handdrawn artstyle maybe

yeah idk

[clever pike]

lace is a good character

[vivid belfry]

Silksong is similar to omori because there's a bladed weapon in it

Same thing for dark souls

[viral pivot]

i loved playing outer wilds but i think my playthrough was a lot different to most cause i couldnt get it to run efficiently

so it was very laggy and slow, but bareable, making it seem fairly chill

but my cycles were at least twice as long, if not a little longer

[dusk bay]

etoZ Dos

[proud vale]

Oh that's cooked, that's how I imagine it'll run on the switch

But I am SO KEEN FOR THE DLC

[analog forge]

Lots of good dlc coming soon

outer wilds, risk of rain, hollow knight

[proud vale]

Is Risk of Rain 2 good? been thinking about getting it

[brittle garnet]

it is

very

[warm bone]

outer milds

[analog forge]

it is!

If you want to play with someone who knows what their doing, give me a ping

(if your willing to vc, obv)

there is nothing wrong with a roguelike formula

[warm bone]

I am not a rougelike fan either, every one I play becomes repetitive very quickly

[analog forge]

What ones have you played?

[nimble pebble]

I don't like dead cells but I like Hades and Gungeon

I'm not a fan of the roguelike genre but I can vibe with some of them

[warm bone]

hades, gungeon, risk of rain 2, muck, dead cells

[analog forge]

risk of rain 2 is a perfection of the roguelike genre.
it doesnt have the synergies of isaac, or the specialization of other games

[nimble pebble]

Tbh I'm more game by game basis than I am genre but some genres I like less than others

[analog forge]

But what it does have is very well refined

You should try isaac, then

[nimble pebble]

Risk of rain 2 simply doesn't vibe with me

Isaac isn't my vibe

[analog forge]

isaacs whole schtick is runs wildly being different due to all the available synergies and interactions

[warm bone]

a good run in issac is dictated entirely by luck

[nimble pebble]

I feel it depends

[analog forge]

not true!

[vivid belfry]

I would say monolith and nuclear throne are closer to gungeon in terms of gameplay, though much faster paced

[analog forge]

a good isaac player can make any run work and win.

[warm bone]

sure

[analog forge]

Isaac is as much based on solely luck as dead cells or gungeon are

as in, not at all

[nimble pebble]

This is why I say it depends on the game and I decide what I like on a game by game basis since I just like certain games and genre hasn't really ever decided whether or not I'll play a game, really just depends if I like playingg it

[warm bone]

every issac pro holds down r at the start until there is an item room

luck

[analog forge]

Only boring people do that.
Streakers dont do that.
Streamers (that i watch) dont do that
Most youtubers dont do that

[vivid belfry]

Gungeon is a game where you average on having decent to good runs and occasionally have an insane gamebreak

[warm bone]

not to mention that there are items in the game which ruin runs

[analog forge]

Holding r for an item room is like rerolling ror2 runs till you get a red item.
Its a boring strategy, for boring people, who dislike fun.

[vivid belfry]

Isaac is like 20% absolute CBT slogfest, 50% decent runs, 25% good runs and 5% gamebreaks

[brittle garnet]

many RoR2 runs devolve into gamebreaking levels of OP, intentionally

[analog forge]

You only devolve into that if you manage to reach the loop.

[brittle garnet]

which is pretty easy

[warm bone]

I would maybe like issac is the gameplay was not so repetitive

playing roguelikes feels like slamming my head against a brick wall, hoping for it to break

[vivid belfry]

See that's why I like nuclear throne, even the bad runs are fun

Bad runs in Isaac feel like watching an animal slowly die

[rotund valve]

how about them tools you know

[analog forge]

the difference between a good run and a bad run in NC is minimal, is the thing.
Mutations arent the end all be all, and alot of weapons more or less do the same thing in different ways.

[nimble pebble]

Pretty much

[vivid belfry]

Also gungeon doesn't have delirium in it so it's automatically better

[worn phoenix]

maybe team cherry wants to one up the new breath of the wild so they'll release it on the same day.

[serene chasm]

Sadly botw 2 could literally be a turd on a stick and it would sell better

[vivid belfry]

I don't think one-upping applies to games in two different genres also

[serene chasm]

SS is actually a 2d platformer Zelda like

[vivid belfry]

So, a Zelda 2-like

[serene chasm]

Hornet vs Matt. Who would win?

[serene chasm]

I totally think TC next game will be just that.

[livid oracle]

I played Ender lilies recently. was pretty good

[serene chasm]

I keep hearing good things bu that style just dousnt vibe with me

[nimble pebble]

Fearless fox sounds like a cool adventure RPG

[nimble pebble]

I agree

[barren roost]

I think you are about to get murdered
oh no, did I just restart the debate it looks like it's over
I don't have an opinion

[analog forge]

Please, i cant be murdered, im in the sequel

[barren roost]

my bad

Anyways, Silksong

[analog forge]

based on this, my title would be local asshole

(its more pronounced on other servers)

[outer frost]

What exciting Milkbong topic will be discussed today gentlemen?

[analog forge]

roguelikes

[outer frost]

Ah, yes.

[analog forge]

inb4 silksong gets a roguelike mode akin to prey mooncrash

[outer frost]

I haven't played that many roguelikes so far.

[barren roost]

no, neither have I

[tawdry valley]

Whether Silksong postgame should exist, or if a mode should be created to incentivize subsequent playthroughs

[analog forge]

the ones to play are flash issac, spelunky, risk of rain 1, and rogue legacy

[tulip drift]

I used to be a big roguelike fan, I don't play them all that much nowadays but I know a lot about a bunch of them

[analog forge]

yes, it is 2012, why do you ask?

[outer frost]

How do you think Silksong's gonna add boss rushes?

[tawdry valley]

Risk of rain 2, Hades, Dead cells. Used to play gungeon

[analog forge]

Ballads

[tulip drift]

I had enter the gungeon, nuclear throne, binding of isaac, crypt of the necrodancer, and first risk of rain

[analog forge]

crypt of the necrodancer is shudder

[tawdry valley]

I would hope they don’t, as they accomplish what they do best in the least efficient way possible

[tulip drift]

I have 100 hours in necrodancer and I still don't have Melody

[analog forge]

its either your garbage at that game, or an unkillable god of hyperdeath who plays aria for fun

there is no inbetween

[tulip drift]

I'm terrified of anyone who can play Aria

[tawdry valley]

Or you button mash single note chains and pretend you’re good

[analog forge]

thats called being garbage

hello! welcome to the garbage club, im your host, ijones27

[tulip drift]

Also since I used to play roguelikes a bunch it skewed how I viewed game difficulty, like when I first played hollow knight I thought it was easy because my favourite game before that was gungeon lmao

[tawdry valley]

Yeah but it fools everyone who’s actually garbage

i.e

[tulip drift]

Even though I don't really play roguelikes all that much nowadays, I still really want Hades

[analog forge]

roguelikes arent that much harder than other types of games

[tulip drift]

I thought a defining trait of roguelikes is being extremely punishing

[tawdry valley]

Roguelikes are games with no loss condition and infinite conditions for “”””win”””” conditions.

[analog forge]

By the time you've gotten good at a roguelike, you're like, about to win a more linear experience

er, losing is the loss condition.

The loss condition and punishement is literally a cornerstone of the genre

[tawdry valley]

It is also the objective most of the time and usually inevitable.

So it’s not technically a “loss” in that sense.

You don’t lose the game if you die, you’re just playing the videogame as intended.

This can be argued true for basically every videogame, but it’s especially true for any roguelike

[tawdry valley]

Yeah

[subtle ridge]

wait what?

[tawdry valley]

If you lose a run you don’t lose

[warm bone]

you do tho

[subtle ridge]

How do you not

[tawdry valley]

By requiring death to progress

[subtle ridge]

they... don't?

[warm bone]

losses are required to progress, yes

[subtle ridge]

unless you mean to learn...?

[tawdry valley]

Hades, risk of rain 2, dead cells, maybe not gungeon, issac

[subtle ridge]

which would be a super weird interpretation that would apply to basically any other game

[vivid belfry]

In hades, winning is a lose condition because it takes more time for my fucking gay sports dad to stop being depressed

[subtle ridge]

None of those are roguelikes, those are roguelites

[vivid belfry]

Counterpoint: nerd

[warm bone]

nobody cares about semantics

[subtle ridge]

this is fair, but as an actual roguelike developer, the distinction is pretty important in various ways

[tawdry valley]

It does sorta matter

[warm bone]

nobody cares

[subtle ridge]

Well if you don't care, Gaming, you can stop participating in the conversation

[analog forge]

risk of rain 2 doesnt require deaths at all, what?
Only a certain item unlock requires you to die, i think.

[warm bone]

you are the one that brought up semantics

[tawdry valley]

Characters

[analog forge]

what characters require a loss?

[tawdry valley]

Any character you are not playing as I guess

[analog forge]

what?

[subtle ridge]

I am, because that was the point of confusion that I was having with the thing that DDX2000 was saying.

[tawdry valley]

I mean you cannot unlock captain skills while playing commando

[analog forge]

You do know you can win in ror2 right? that there is a final boss?
and the obliteration ending which is also a victory

[subtle ridge]

Semantics isn't code for r"boring worthless topic", it's actually a pretty interesting topic in various ways and has some interesting angles to approach it from

[warm bone]

yeah, the difference between rougelike and lite does not make any difference in the covo

[analog forge]

^

[tawdry valley]

Then you do not know the difference between roguelike and lite

[warm bone]

i do, just don't care to use it

[tawdry valley]

Which I do not blame you for

[warm bone]

I think its dumb

[subtle ridge]

It sure does if I thought he was talking about one and he was talking about the other, because they are different things and the thing which he said applies to once of them and not the other

[analog forge]

roguelites do HEAVILY incentivize loss as a means to progress

but roguelikes dont.

[warm bone]

yeah they do, loss is learning which you need to win

[analog forge]

Thats true for all games

[warm bone]

rougelikes especially

[analog forge]

Not especially, equally

[warm bone]

especially

[tawdry valley]

Roguelike: the game does not change at all after a run. (Besides generation)
Rogue lite: you gain something after death

[subtle ridge]

I think that's a general trend but not an absolute one. FTL doesn't have any unlocks for dying / losing

[serene chasm]

What game is a rouge-like? Arent most popular games rouge games lites?

[tawdry valley]

This was literally the cornerstone of the debate. Progress after death.

[analog forge]

Its a scale

[subtle ridge]

FTL is generally considered a roguelite but does not have progress after death

[tawdry valley]

There’s also this type of thing:

[analog forge]

Roguelikes and roguelites are not a hard line, but a trend.
Also, ftl is no way in hell considered a roguelite lol wot

[warm bone]

are you telling me you need to die the same amount of times in stardew valley as a rougelike because it is required for progression

[analog forge]

roguelikes DONT require dying for progression is my point

[subtle ridge]

Since when is it not?

[warm bone]

they do

[analog forge]

If you're good enough at risk of rain 2, you can more or less win every time and get every acheivement (save for 1) one after the other from a fresh file

[tawdry valley]

First user decided tag.

[analog forge]

user tags are not relevent, even when they prove our points

[subtle ridge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelites/ <- FTL is literally second on the sidebar of this subreddit

[serene chasm]

user tags dont mean anything

[tawdry valley]

You said “considered”

[warm bone]

thats after you die a ton, unlocking all the items and getting good.

[analog forge]

I said from a fresh file.

[warm bone]

and getting good.

[subtle ridge]

FTL: Faster Than Light, spaceship simulator roguelite game

[analog forge]

Its like saying "dark souls requires death to progress"

[warm bone]

it does

[analog forge]

You're a clod

[subtle ridge]

that is not what "requires" means

[tawdry valley]

Here then. The official website:

Don’t know what roguelike-like means.

[subtle ridge]

"roguelike-like" is an alternative way of saying roguelite

[analog forge]

a roguelikelike is a game that is like a roguelike, based on the origanal definition of roguelike

[serene chasm]

roguelite-like-lite

[analog forge]

it is NOT another way of saying roguelite

[warm bone]

are you telling me, with no prior experience in souls, you beat every boss first try

[tawdry valley]

I have received two opposite answers

[analog forge]

Basically, in the before time, roguelike was used to describe a very very specific genre.
top down, 2d, ascii based, dungeon crawlers

[tawdry valley]

Were you the guy who said “semantics” didn’t matter
Let’s please all be civil

[serene chasm]

Why are you all arguing this anyways?

[analog forge]

So, the term roguelikelike was invented to describe "roguelikes" that werent really in the same genre as rogue

Overtime, the term roguelike has drifted into what we know it as today

[analog forge]

Wikipedia is not a valid source of information

[warm bone]

[subtle ridge]

better than your feels, at least

[serene chasm]

what is? who is the god of gaming genre names?

[warm bone]

what is your source then

[analog forge]

The definition posed by wikipedia basically has no distinction between roguelikes as we know them and roguelites

[warm bone]

"we"

[tawdry valley]

Apparently rouguelike-like was in fact used to describe FTL a while back before rouguelite was coined

[analog forge]

Are you telling me you know roguelikes as top down, procedural, permadeath, dungeon crawlers, with ascii graphics?

[warm bone]

language constantly evolves
get with the times

[tawdry valley]

It may have developed into “roguelikes with a different genre than rogue” but that’s apparently what it was

[subtle ridge]

There's so many arguments about what a roguelike is, and that is not strictly the commonly accepted (as I understand it) but it is generally prretty close

[analog forge]

greated, the coined debate.
Roguelite was coined by rogue legacy, to describe its "rogue" experience, but with permament upgrades between each run

[tawdry valley]

I guess that would be a true-rouguelike

[coarse leaf]

Hollow knight 'steel soul mode' is roguelike?

[warm bone]

yes

[analog forge]

No, because its not procedurally generated

[warm bone]

rougelikes don't need to be procedurally generated

[serene chasm]

What about randomizer steel soul mode

[analog forge]

Yes, they kinda do gaming

[subtle ridge]

they absolutely do

[tawdry valley]

Permadeath does not = rouguelike

[warm bone]

risk of rain's maps are all not procedural

[subtle ridge]

risk of rain isn't a roguelike so thanks for agreeing with me on that

[analog forge]

Risk of rain's procedural generation is chest placement, and minor map alterations

[tawdry valley]

Ror maps have terrain variants. It is also not a roguelike

[coarse leaf]

Rogue legacy 1,2 game has no procedurally generated still it is roguelite game?

[analog forge]

ror is 100% a roguelike, wot

the heck are yall on about?

[warm bone]

lmao ror2 is a rougelike

[tawdry valley]

You also get procedurally generated chests, enemy spawns, map rotation, items, shop locations

[analog forge]

ror as a franchise is a roguelike

[tawdry valley]

What I am basing this on

[subtle ridge]

you guys are hurting me

[viral pivot]

hey guys whatcha talking about

[analog forge]

Roguelike can more or less be described in 3 categories
TrueRoguelike
Hybridroguelike/Roguelikelike
Roguelite

Arcade is its own seperate genre and has nothing to do with roguelikes

[subtle ridge]

This is why semantics are important. Half of this discussion could be avoided if we could just agree on basic terms

[serene chasm]

Can I just say that sequel vs prequel arguments are better than this

[valid sable]

I like just roguelike and traditional roguelike

[tawdry valley]

Permadeath =/= roguelike

[warm bone]

or we don't care and get on to discussing things we actually want to

[viral pivot]

sequel all the way

[valid sable]

midquel

[subtle ridge]

Except then you spend way more time actually discussing semantics, AS SEEN IN THIS VERY CONVO, because everyone's using different terms

[analog forge]

Hybrid roguelikes, and roguelites are on a sliding scale, with their genre on each end.
There is no hard line between roguelikes and roguelite, however, certain games lean more in one direction than the other

[warm bone]

you and like 3 others are the only ones that care, I am arguing against semantics

[analog forge]

FTL leans more togethers like
RoR leans more towards like
Hades is a lite
rogue legacy is a lite

You're aruging against semantics by being a clod about it?

[serene chasm]

All are fun games. Thats all that really matters

[coarse leaf]

Deadcells? Is roguelite or like?

[subtle ridge]

would be a -lite

[analog forge]

Lite, i think.
the legendary forge pushes it more into lite

[subtle ridge]

gunna throw this out there, basically any non-turn-based game is not ta -like

if the game you're thinking of is not turn based, it might be a lite, but it's not a like

[analog forge]

The like we are using is to describe hybrid roguelikes.

[warm bone]

don't get mad at me for nothing, rougelikes are when the guy dies and goes back to the begining

[analog forge]

thats not true at all

[tawdry valley]

Rogue-lite: permadeath, world gen variation between runs, unlocks/upgrades between attempts.
Rogue-like: permadeath, world gen variation between runs.
True-Rogue-like: Permadeath, world gen variation between runs, top down/dungeon crawler.
Rouge-like-like: Permadeath, world gen variants, no unlocks, different genre than rogue.

[serene chasm]

What is the checklist for like vs lite?

[tawdry valley]

We good with this?

[valid sable]

Yes

[analog forge]

More or less

[warm bone]

its truer than whatever trash you were spitting out

[subtle ridge]

where's this all coming from...?

[analog forge]

I have some disagreements, but its fine if it gets us all on the same page

[analog forge]

ok mr. "death is required to progress in dark souls"

[coarse leaf]

What is roguevania 🤔

[valid sable]

Dead Cells

[tawdry valley]

What I have read online regarding rogue and early roguelikes/lites. Feel free to continue discussion in a civil manner.

[analog forge]

roguevania is a made up term that doesnt exist, used to describe a single game

[warm bone]

I don't get what made you so angry

[tawdry valley]

What dead cells is for the first 5% of the game

[coarse leaf]

Soulsborne,soulslite, soulslike,soulsvania....

[analog forge]

the fact you dont fucking know what required means

[serene chasm]

Technically rogue legacy falls under that category too.

[warm bone]

why do you care

[subtle ridge]

I am trying to continue it in a civil manner. I haven't gotten angry at anyone. I think the topic is both interesting, and related to most of my favorite games. I was genuinely asking, not in a angry way, but in a "I haven't heard the terms used this way but have discussed it a lot" way.

[analog forge]

No, rogue legacy is not a vania, since you dont get upgrades that let you tackle otherwise locked portions of the game

[tawdry valley]

I don’t know why you two are still antagonizing each other over 4 different variants of the same word. At this point both of you are stupid. @warm bone @analog forge

[warm bone]

I agree

[analog forge]

In rogue legacy, you could, in theory, do pretty much everything on no upgrades, if you hate yourself

[tawdry valley]

I know, I’m curious to hear what else you have to say on it, so continue

[serene chasm]

I seriously think we should drop this. This is not going anywhere, and its just making people angry

[serene chasm]

Thats fair

[subtle ridge]

At this point I think this isn't a good location to keep discussing, too many distractions and people unhappy with the convo. If you want we can move to a private chat

[warm bone]

I have been trying to drop it since the begining lmao

[analog forge]

the origanal discussion was roguelike difficulty compared to a more linear experience

[serene chasm]

so how bout them tools

[viral pivot]

t o o l s

[analog forge]

Lets go back to the difficulty thing, instead of horrible semantics

[coarse leaf]

Tools are cool .
Looking forward to see hornet using tools and then attacks one by one immediately like sekiro

[warm bone]

now I hope everybody understands my hatred of semantics (the argument))

[tawdry valley]

I’d rather just continue it in dms without people talking about how they don’t wanna talk about it if that’s okay with you @subtle ridge

[subtle ridge]

That's what I meant

[viral pivot]

i wonder if theres gonna end up being some OP tools that you kinda just dont wanna remove, like quickslash and stuff

[tawdry valley]

you never wanted to talk about em but did anyways

[serene chasm]

I hope not

[subtle ridge]

Feel free to send me a message

[viral pivot]

i mean quickslash is a good charm, but once you get it i tend to favour it over anyhting else and not switch up too much

[coarse leaf]

Quickslash + perma strength made the game easier

[viral pivot]

you can still do fun combos, but not too much incentive. i wonder if thats gonna be a similar issue or theyre gonna 'fix' it

[tawdry valley]

@subtle ridge can’t send you anything unless you let users with shared serves use DMs or send a request

[vivid belfry]

Yes, that's what charms are for

[serene chasm]

I want to be able to switch up my tool set/crest depending on the situation

[warm bone]

exactly, its just like religious debates, no matter how much people argue nobody changes their minds

[subtle ridge]

hm. I thought I had that enabled. It didn't let me message you for the sme reason on your end

[viral pivot]

can it even be fixed

[analog forge]

Except not at all

Genre discussions can easily lead to someone changing the way they use terms, or seeing a genre in a new light

[warm bone]

if people are open to learning, they usually try to learn and not argue

[tawdry valley]

You dragged down a convo you didn’t have to participate in because it wasn’t about a topic you liked to participate in

[vivid belfry]

Roguelike: everything with the roguelike tag on steam
All other terminology is used by hipsters only

[subtle ridge]

@tawdry valley fix'd, you can send me a message now

[nimble pebble]

[warm bone]

it would and could, but the lack of respect in an argument could just produce the opposite

like calling names for instance

[analog forge]

You literally said dark souls required death to proceed.
And if thats the case, then, no, roguelikes dont require death to proceed more than any other genre of video game

[warm bone]

thats not justification for ruining the healthy debate we were having by being rude and disrespectful

[analog forge]

Which means you basically said "death is required to proceed in video games"

[warm bone]

I probably would have listened to you if you were not so mean about it

[serene chasm]

I hate when mom and dad fight

[analog forge]

Its simply not a true statement.
And this is why semantics are important.

[warm bone]

nobody cares
its over

[nimble pebble]

Death is only needed to proceed if you're bad

[tawdry valley]

You were both rude in response and in advance. Apologize for antagonistic behavior in both cases and just move on please @warm bone @analog forge

[analog forge]

Obviously people care, we just spent 30 minutes over it.

[serene chasm]

Why you gotta hurt me like that, Pillow?

[nimble pebble]

This just sounds like a copout for not listening in the first place

[nimble pebble]

It is how it is old man

[vivid belfry]

Death is required to progress in a lot of games in the sense that the likelihood of a new player getting through the game without dying once is so slim it basically doesn't need to be considered

[serene chasm]

• waves cane in your general direction *

[warm bone]

I still have the same beliefs as we started, I just realized that arguing this is useless and am trying to temper the malice that ijones has for some reason

[noble fulcrum]

yo what's going on

[vivid belfry]

Well I say that but there are a lot of people who still haven't unlocked melting

🥲 those poor loopers are so brave

[analog forge]

How do you not unlock melting?

[serene chasm]

Less "death is required" and more "death is part of the game"

[vivid belfry]

They're still looping to this day
(Non-joke answer: owning the game and not playing it)

[analog forge]

melting more like smelling

ha gottem

[valid sable]

Alright who's gonna no-death Silksong first try

[analog forge]

Me, obviously

because im sucha god gamer galaxy brain

[serene chasm]

Im gonna say I did it

[viral pivot]

deffo not me XD

[nimble pebble]

Nice cane bro, Custom made?

[analog forge]

anyhow, the point i wanted to make at first is that roguelikes arent really harder than their more linear counterparts.
The only difference is instead of dying many times to the final boss, you also throw in some deaths to the first boss.

[nimble pebble]

I'm going to do Symphony of Pharloom with silk restriction first try

[analog forge]

symphony of pharloom oh god why

[serene chasm]

How. Seriously? Abslace is impossible

[valid sable]

Symphony of Pharloom. Ritual of the Loom.

Absent Lace

[analog forge]

abs lace?

[valid sable]

Lace abs

[analog forge]

you mean lace 3, right?

[nimble pebble]

Deity house is how you get in

[serene chasm]

abs lace. Lace with an 8 pack that could shred cheese

[nimble pebble]

I have an epic strat for it don't worry bro

[analog forge]

hornet has a thing for tomboys

[fleet temple]

have you used the fighter jet tool?

[nimble pebble]

Hornet is into stabbing people

[serene chasm]

It cant melt silk beams

[fleet temple]

yeah, it's broken

[tawdry valley]

Dorian, Baki.

[nimble pebble]

Also Hornet is probably Ace

[vivid belfry]

Didn't say ace aro, hornet romance is still on the table!

[nimble pebble]

I would say more so Ace Aro more so than just Ace

[valid sable]

Nah she's Beeromantic

[warm bone]

I don't think you need to grasp the concept before you can be attracted to someone

[serene chasm]

You dont get taught sexuality

[warm bone]

if anything I think hornet would not care, not because of ignorance, but because she just does not care

[serene chasm]

No one gave Hornet the Aspid and the Fleas talk?

[warm bone]

you said it was because she was not taught it

[serene chasm]

I think it would be cool if Hornet was ace, cause I think ace people need more rep in games.

[hollow terrace]

[nimble pebble]

I would agree

[nimble pebble]

Agreed

[analog forge]

I dont think hornet is Ace, but i also dont think she'll romance anyone in game

Hornet is not the type to let her guard down in a foreign land

[nimble pebble]

^

[warm bone]

she's a warrior, no time for romantic relationships

[nimble pebble]

Hornet's only objective right now is getting the fuck out of Pharloom because she was kidnapped

[analog forge]

^

and, ya know, making sure she wont be kidnapped in the future

(with murder!)

why?

[serene chasm]

Murder hornet is best hornet

[outer frost]

I agree, though hornets mood overall will probably change a good bit over the course of the game.

[nimble pebble]

Honourable warrior hornet is best hornet

[analog forge]

unlike the knight, shes not gonna have long pleasent conversations

[nimble pebble]

Hornet is the type to say "Shut up get to the point" which She does with Lace on their first encounter

[warm bone]

the knight was the talkative type

[hollow terrace]

Wdym the villains will now have the opportunities to monologue their plans

[outer frost]

There better be a tavern where Hornet gets drunk and goes on a tangent.

[analog forge]

Drunk hornet would be hilarious.

[outer frost]

big brain

[analog forge]

just imagine, hornet at a bar, with a blush on her face, just spitting out facts about the pale king

[nimble pebble]

Hornet literally tells Lace to stfu when She's monologing about killing hornet

[outer frost]

Almost inhaled my spit

[outer frost]

Best and worst way to get lore possible

[nimble pebble]

Drunk hornet more like Hornet is a responsible drinker hornet

[coarse leaf]

[analog forge]

Hornet lived in a place with little to no excess.
she would not drink responsibly when given that excess

[fiery coral]

Can't wait for #hk-lore to argue about whether drunken rants should be considered canonical

[analog forge]

oh my god

[serene chasm]

Is hornet and angry drunk, happy drunk, or a sappy drunk?

[analog forge]

angry drunk, no doubt

[warm bone]

angry

[outer frost]

Hornet: And then sum hic- fucken virus infected everyone and the king burp threw tons of children into an abyss and did I talk about the moth god yet?

[warm bone]

hornet is describing now

[analog forge]

hornet, you've done nothing but talk about the moth god for 2 hours

[nimble pebble]

You forgot Sad drunk but probably angry

[analog forge]

I need fanart of drunk hornet stat

[warm bone]

100% already out there

[outer frost]

idk man that seems like a bad thing to ask for

[nimble pebble]

What do bugs even drink for intoxication

[outer frost]

lifeblood

[nimble pebble]

Lifeblood is a goopy gatorade not alcohol

[analog forge]

Definitely fermented apples

[nimble pebble]

Apple wine, based

[outer frost]

not with that attitude

[tawdry valley]

Nothing TC can really present that would not raise the rating for the game

[nimble pebble]

Contrary to what one might think Wine is any alcoholic fermented fruit, Grape is just the most common

[analog forge]

TC definetly doesnt care about rating

and i dont think nintendo does either

[nimble pebble]

TC cares about making a cool game

[analog forge]

see: bayonetta 2

[shy stirrup]

What a world we live in where nintendo is now censoring less things than sony

[warm bone]

what does nintendo have to do with censorship

[outer frost]

cool game with akeehaw

[analog forge]

apperently hollow knight got an e10+

It has a baby pit and its everyone 10 and up

[warm bone]

get a 10 year old to beat p5

[analog forge]

you literally walk on a carpet of baby skulls

[nimble pebble]

Apparently a 9 year old nearly did

[analog forge]

but theres no red blood, so e for everyone

[nimble pebble]

You think the people who give game ratings look into lore implications? Ha!

[analog forge]

if blood = red , then rating = mature

now to take an early lunch

[nimble pebble]

They just look at surface details and call it a day

[analog forge]

ngl, im surpised hk was rated by the esrb at all

[warm bone]

orange

[analog forge]

Does sony require esrb rating for its digital store front?

[nimble pebble]

It's not like ESRB ratings can stop people from playing it anyway

[analog forge]

I mean, they can if its AO

since it then wont be distributed by most people

[nimble pebble]

Not to mention people age mentally at different rates than others

[analog forge]

ESRB is a tool to basically silence the outrage crowd
and for that it does its job perfectly

"you cant complain, you bought your kid an m rated game"

[outer frost]

Something that I like is the fact there's 2 ant bosses

[maiden atlas]

Hi

[outer frost]

And the fact the HUNKY ant spawns other ants in during battle is either gonna make or break the fight

[maiden atlas]

Lol

[outer frost]

[nimble pebble]

Humans mate too what's your point

[maiden atlas]

I was playing the first pantheon for the very first time. I was about to beat the two bros but, my controller died

[analog forge]

This is why you buy wired controllers

[nimble pebble]

Or rather have a charged controller

Or just play while charging

[maiden atlas]

XD ya my siblings plug them in wrong

[warm bone]

make them beat the pantheon for you, as punishment

Rosaries are generally made of matte plastic or wood

[nimble pebble]

I just meant he'd tell you basic things you'd know

[analog forge]

so no, they arent shiny

[nimble pebble]

They're also made from ceramic

[vivid belfry]

[lavish delta]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[analog forge]

ceramic also isnt shiny

[vivid belfry]

Evidence: when you play the game and they're shiny

[proud vale]

What are these weird hot takes about ceramics... of course they're shiny

[analog forge]

Have my plates secretly been shiny the whole time?

[vivid belfry]

My plates are shiny

[nimble pebble]

Ceramic coating does not only protect your vehicle with an added layer of protection, but it also has a beautiful glossy shine. No more waxing or polishing needed for your car to always be shiny. To recap, ceramic coating will provide you with a waterless wash, an added layer of protection, and a beautiful shiny finish.

[lavish delta]

Does it reflect light more than other things? It's shiny

I mean, come on. That’s a no-brainer, everybody knows the accent of Grindle

[nimble pebble]

We've hit 800k on the Crowsworn Kickstarter

[fiery coral]

We're gettin that 850k DLC stretch goal bois

[polar olive]

yyyeeeeah im kinda thinkin bout Hollow Knight: Silksong™️ tho

[coarse leaf]

Crowsworn ™️ by Mongoose Rodeo ©️ is better though

[polar olive]

crowsworn looks sick too

but this is the silksong chat

[coarse leaf]

Time for me to go to #hk-lore and discuss Crowsworn abilities

[barren roost]

this is being used a lot

[nimble pebble]

[coarse leaf]

The emote that goes by the name of crowvibin and looks like this: “” is the greatest animated emoticon in the social media/chatting platform known as Discord throughout every device that it is currently available on

[nimble pebble]

[coarse leaf]

Crowsworn, the backing is huge rn

Imagine both Ss and Crowsworn dropped a kickstarter at the same time who would have the most donations

Game will surely annihlate the competition, it will literally sweep every indie game known to humanity. Other games will be used to wipe the floor once crowsworn is completed, it will be a masterpiece of a game

[nimble pebble]

Both

[coarse leaf]

Yeah I see a future for the game, also the game studio is from the same country as myself. Why not support

Plus get a Digital copy when it drops

[nimble pebble]

Based I am also from same place

[coarse leaf]

Nice, I never knew there was other people from there as well

[coarse leaf]

Ew ||||

[nimble pebble]

Also every member is familiar with making a game as many have participated or made a game

[nimble pebble]

[coarse leaf]

[nimble pebble]

Are we talking the city?

[coarse leaf]

All the crows, even the existent realistic ones, will surely be vibin once crowsworn is out

[vivid belfry]

Wilbo is playing undertale and sneezed during a scene transition

[coarse leaf]

Well I'm from the same province as Curly

That all I could say, anymore isn't necessary

[nimble pebble]

I'm not from the same province

Simply meant I was from the same country

[coarse leaf]

nice

[barren roost]

why is everybody showing off their nitro :(

[nimble pebble]

I'm next door though

[coarse leaf]

Anoymous joined the chat

[vivid belfry]

Because that's the only point in having it

[nimble pebble]

[coarse leaf]

damn you're right

[nimble pebble]

also hi orange and grover

[coarse leaf]

[proud vale]

Gday Delta

[nimble pebble]

Hey Orange

[coarse leaf]

Orange is a chad

[nimble pebble]

[proud vale]

Nitro changes lives guys

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, made me become broke and homeless

[serene chasm]

yes. It makes you poorer

[proud vale]

Nitro snail pog

[nimble pebble]

A small price to pay for

[coarse leaf]

I cant live without

[nimble pebble]

[coarse leaf]

I should make a crowvibin server. All emotes would be crowvibin, reacting to every message with a bunch of crowvibin every time would be a possibility

[nimble pebble]

Nah that would ruin it

[coarse leaf]

Heresy

[barren roost]

:zoteparty: is a great emote, I should get nitro just for it

[coarse leaf]

[nimble pebble]

truth, using it over and over will make it's Glorious imprint fade

[coarse leaf]

My nitro was free

[nimble pebble]

[coarse leaf]

Heresy

Crowvibin can never fade

[nimble pebble]

It is simply the truth, overuse will make it feel less important in our minds and become casual

It must always be special

[coarse leaf]

That’s it, you’re gonna suffer the fate of Prometheus but with crows

[nimble pebble]

[little night]

How long has it been since the annoncement of hks ?

[coarse leaf]

Repent for your sins and heresy or else further actions of justice shall follow

[nimble pebble]

You will suffer such a fate for failing to understand the true value of Crowvibin

[coarse leaf]

No u

Do you know the date of the annoncement ?

no

[coarse leaf]

Nonexistent

[nimble pebble]

Imagine a dlc where you can play quirrel

[barren roost]

wasn't that a thing people spoke about once?

[little night]

Don't know

But if it's in plan even with a non official dlc it's should be sick

[fleet temple]

i've seen a fake quirrel game animation, it looked dope as hell

[nimble pebble]

They moved on and are now making mask bearer

Will obviously be a non profit add on to either HK or SS but it's no longer the "fake quirrel game"

[barren roost]

cool

[tawdry palm]

theres also tide tale

A popular HK fan artist is working on that one

[nimble pebble]

Pretty sure Tide tale was changed to Mask bearer that's the entire point of what I said

[little mesa]

Yep, we changed it to a new character

[little night]

What's a Mask bearer ?

[nimble pebble]

What the new project is

[little night]

Very informative

[coarse leaf]

[little mesa]

You shall see if you take the time to seek out that knowledge

[outer frost]

Yknow what scares me?

[serene chasm]

clowns

[outer frost]

The fact that silk soul won’t just be permadeath

Also clowns

Permadeath is gonna be scary in a world that looks much harder to master combat and movement wise

Now there’s gonna be an extra difficulty layer added on top

[serene chasm]

We have no idea what Silksoul is going to be. Im kinda hoping it will have a binding system so you can make it as challenging as you like.

[warm bone]

its a game that will release

Hey Chroma

[proud vale]

“It exists”

[ocean mulch]

Simo is it cold

[warm bone]

[proud vale]

Is it cold?

[charred pulsar]

Hmm lemme think

[nimble pebble]

oddly enough South Australia is the same temp as it is here now

17C

[warm bone]

chilly

[nimble pebble]

That's nice spring or cool summer weather

[ocean mulch]

Cool summer are you serious

[warm bone]

thats way too cold to be nice for me

[ocean mulch]

I wish my cool summer was 17

[nimble pebble]

17C is cold for you?

[nimble pebble]

How hot are your summers

We usually range from 15C to 20-30C sometimes hotter if heatwave

For summer

[cerulean sable]

i hate silksong and anyone that likes it

[ocean mulch]

You're in that phase again, huh

[ocean mulch]

Usually it's 30-40C

[serene jewel]

I hate you too

[nimble pebble]

Rough

[warm bone]

50C

[nimble pebble]

Sounds like you're in the anger stage of grief

[cerulean sable]

i swap between anger and grief in a superposition

[nimble pebble]

Tbh it's a step forward since most are in Denial

[warm bone]

Angrief

[nimble pebble]

Though I'd argue some skip past denial and just straight into depression

Though I suppose there's been a few people bargining

[cerulean sable]

sounds like a shitty portmanteau between Angus and Beef

[nimble pebble]

And some have accepted that it won't come out even though it will

[cerulean sable]

pls all iwant is the ebin bugsong game :(((((((((99(

[nimble pebble]

So it's all over the place really

[nimble pebble]

Relatable

[nimble pebble]

[nimble pebble]

I'm just vibin doing other things until SS comes out

[proud vale]

[nimble pebble]

[fluid orchid]

I am sure that at this point Silksong is just a collective hallucination caused by team cherry

[ocean mulch]

I see you're bargaining

[cerulean sable]

broke
wanting SS to release so you get to play SS

woke
wanting SS to release so that the community finally gets new jokes

[proud vale]

Also new emotes

[cerulean sable]

that is also true

[proud vale]

I can’t wait for the Lomm emotes

[frank sparrow]

woo Lomm

i cant wait for more pukebug emotes

[ocean mulch]

We don't need more

[nimble pebble]

Lomm emotes

[nimble pebble]

[signal crag]

WHAT

[nimble pebble]

[hidden roost]

I cant believe silksong is cancelled bros....

[hollow gull]

I actually have a bet going with my brother on when silksong releases

whoever loses buys both of us copies of the game

[signal crag]

And if you are both wrong?
Or wins who has the the prediction closer to the release date?

[ocean mulch]

I think closer

[proud vale]

That sounds poggy

If Fool’s guess is right about 24th of Feb I’ll buy them a copy lol

[hollow gull]

if it releases 2021, I win, if not, he wins

so I'll probably lose lol

[nimble pebble]

[hollow gull]

but if I win it's a win win

[nimble pebble]

A 2021 release seems unlikely

[fluid jetty]

Weaklings. Me with patience of a russian I can wait as long as it takes. It is the only good thing of being russian tho.

[nimble pebble]

I've just accepted it comes out when it comes out

[heavy mason]

There shouldn’t be an ss discussion sub channel

But then again a notifications one doesn’t make sense either cause of the scarce amount of news lol

But everytime I see this channel light up there’s a bit of hope but its always just random talk

[limber scaffold]

yeah this channel is supposed to be for talking about silksong in whatever form, not for official announcements

[ember geode]

I’ve accepted that even if it releases I can’t play it

[fiery coral]

I thought Alsart had changed their name

so used to seeing that PFP

[pallid flare]

there is an impostor among us

[proud vale]

[ornate beacon]

[signal crag]

Ugh, another Clone
I hate those guys.

[cerulean sable]

aight im gonna have to ban one of you

usually id decide this with an actual 1v1 arena shooter fight\

but a coinflip is good enough

[signal crag]

Don’t do anything you could regret,
I AM the original!

[tall hinge]

hmmm

[carmine sapphire]

silksong will have an among us reference

[signal crag]

I personally took care of the clone,
My power grows, TTacco.

[cerulean sable]

this is like the plot to that movie The One i think

where he jumps into different dimensions and kills his own version

[normal hinge]

what did you do

[tall hinge]

a light mode user

[cerulean sable]

and by doing this he gets stronger, and if he manages to be the only existing entity in the timelines, he becomes immortal (which is where the story is set, as the MC is the 2nd to the last existing version and hes being hunted by his other version)

[tall hinge]

oh god

[pallid flare]

by whom

[ocean mulch]

Mistmund

Stadt der Tränen is CoT I assume

[pallid flare]

yes

[jolly oak]

prob the mainhub will be gold citadel

the lobby or something like this

cuz in the trailer we can see like a board of quests in gold citadel

[tribal merlin]

there will be quest boards in numerous places, it's the quest system they introduce with SS

[jolly oak]

oh nice

do the quest of kidnapping that mobs will be in the mossy groto?

[proud vale]

Sounds like the guy in the last episode of Loki’s backstory

Hmmmm the barnacle town being in Greymoor could actually be a hot take - my thoughts were it would be closer to the coral area? (Due to the water theme ofc)

[cerulean sable]

it was a meh af action martial arts movie tho, not some kind of thriller style oscars film

concept and idea is cool, but execution is basically an excuse to do 2000's era action stunts and martial arts fighting which was the rage those days (like The Matrix)

[cobalt ridge]

any update of when silksong is coming out?

[ember geode]

No

[cobalt ridge]

damn

[sweet lotus]

I have a friend who owns a Switch and played HK and loved it (recently did a Shade tatoo as well) and I'll get him a copy of Silksong whenever it comes out, if he hasn't the money to get it himself, so we can play it day 1 concurrently

[cobalt ridge]

nice

[pallid flare]

what a nice friend

[tall hinge]

?sspsa

[thin zephyr]

It’s amazing that rather listening, Hornet actually speaks.

[woeful crystal]

I hope they get her character right!

[cerulean sable]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8os2LBgSCAs Hornet upon meeting Sherma talk about their past

[outer frost]

It’s gonna be kinda weird going from playing as an unspoken knight to hornet’s grunts every couple seconds

[pallid flare]

garama

[outer frost]

We can produce the Shaw™️

[vital mountain]

really hoping we get “git gud” in ss

[ornate beacon]

Git gud 😄

Git bad 💀

[lament mauve]

Am I the only who doesn’t think she says, “Git Gud”?

[cerulean sable]

she doesnt

She says Geg Too according to TC

[lament mauve]

Yes, I know she doesn’t.

[cerulean sable]

but they said "if you wanna think thats the equivalent of Git Gud in bug language then let it be"

[olive bobcat]

I hope we see Bonebottom grow throughout the story

[cerulean sable]

or burnt

[olive bobcat]

That'd work too

[cerulean sable]

i have this small tiny feeling at one point youll get back to the Church Keeper's area and itll burnt down with littered citadel soldiers

very very tiny feeling

[lament mauve]

Wait, uh. How will we know which one is talking between Hornet and an NPC?

[olive bobcat]

Fake idea

[copper knot]

holy fuck its brazil

[olive bobcat]

The text box icon

[lament mauve]

Icon?

[vivid belfry]

Hornet's dialogue is indicated by a weaver symbol, everyone else is the pharloom crest
