sk-discussion

[lament basin]

it's still one of the most common critiques on the game though

[polar olive]

ehh i kinda disagree

[hollow terrace]

hollow knight was so great that’s why they’re making hollow knight 2 without godhome

[high hedge]

That doesnt sound like the type of player that would comment on the lack of npcs and things to do

[polar olive]

games like deedlit iwl was super dense, and it felt really short bc of that

[lament basin]

but it literally doesnt matter anyway because the game is being developed how it is regardless of what anything has to say so arguing with me about what i think gets you, and me, absolutely nowhere @light latch

[high hedge]

It'd be more like "Godhome too hard!!"

[light latch]

Not from what I've seen. The one thing I mostly hear is that the start is too slow

[fiery coral]

[polar olive]

imo there needs to be a little bit of filler in mv games so that you can shmove

[nimble pebble]

Metroidvanias have been revolutionised, HK brought the era of fast paced metroidvanias also SS will have bigger areas than HK becase of her moveset so sucks for you I guess if you don't like that

[lament basin]

hk is anything but fast paced imo

[fiery coral]

No Godhome

[light latch]

Most arguments accomplish nothing

[nimble pebble]

Bruh, go play an old Metroidvania it's much faster than any of them

[lament basin]

if ss can manage to use the extra space properly, ill have no issue, i just dont believe hollow knight effectively utilizes the full scale of the world 🤷

[nimble pebble]

Sounds like nitpicking

[lament basin]

there are still newer ones with much faster pace than hk, i really dont think hk revolutionizes much

[lament basin]

you can cry about my opinion it's not gonna change it lol

[polar olive]

i like the density of hk, time between major upgrades/bosses gives you time and space to think/get used to the game physics

omega disagree

[high hedge]

Thats most old games

[lament basin]

but you can argue there's too much time to keep engaged sometimes

[polar olive]

super metroid in my mind is a perfect game

[nimble pebble]

It's a renaissance of the genre that died at one point and many that come after some faster some equal but it brought it about

[high hedge]

"Modern games improved on the concept!"

[light latch]

HK popularized the genre, but didn't revoltionize it

[nimble pebble]

Nah I don't give a shit lol just sounds like you're nitpicking rather than critiquing

[polar olive]

i honestly feel like in some ways super metroid is better than the modern standards

[lament basin]

my critique is that the world isnt dense enough, that's not a nitpick, that's just what i believe, i have almost no other issues with the game

[nimble pebble]

I would call revitalising it somewhat of a revolution in it's own way, it certainly didn't invent anything but refined some aspects

[lament basin]

i just feel like it's too empty, still love the game

[high hedge]

How is finding areas too empty a nitpick

[silk badger]

what i don't like about metroid is the destructible blocks as mechanic

[nimble pebble]

Fair enough

[light latch]

Super Metroid was an incredibly important game and has some mechanics that modern games struggle to replicate, but overall, games have progressed so much since then that it feel needlessly obtuse to play

[polar olive]

not many modern metroidvanias get it right like super metroid does, the lore, movement, atmosphere, world design, sequence braking, tech, design is top notch, so little games even get close to as good as sm

[frank mist]

I still pray that the way silksong will be announced is with a knight for smash announcement along with it

[high hedge]

Maybe as an assist trophy

[silk badger]

a lot of hidden items in metroid are just 'grind your d!ck against every wall till you find something' and even then you'll just get a regular missile expansion

[polar olive]

theres a lot of mvs i play nowadays and get bored to tears

[light latch]

Nah... there is only one more slot left in smash and it isn't gonna be an indie rep

[polar olive]

its champions from botw

[mortal grove]

hi

[nimble pebble]

Whenever I hear "too empty for the amount of space given" just makes me think they measure every square inch to content ratio which feels like nitpicking to me but perhaps that's just my interpretation

[polar olive]

tellin u all now

[high hedge]

They're saving the last slot for Goku of course

[light latch]

"daruks protection is now ready to roll"

[nimble pebble]

Lmao

[polar olive]

thats down special

[nimble pebble]

I still like my Dream nail as life steal ability in smash

[polar olive]

the knight is a little too niche for smash with not a lot of history

[nimble pebble]

[polar olive]

as much as i would want him in

[frank mist]

I had a whole discord server for the knights potential smash moveset

[light latch]

This is my favorite interaction from around when Silksong was announced

[nimble pebble]

You know after SS TC should make a Puzzle adventure RPG or Adventure RPG

[polar olive]

its not unreasonable to think that a game will release within a year or so of its gameplay trailer

[light latch]

true

[nimble pebble]

It was a reveal trailer but I get what you mean

[full rune]

@ saleh

[frank mist]

Fr everyone was acting like everyone who had realistic expectations were stupid

[lament basin]

proof that the reddit hivemind is made up of impatient children

[reef scarab]

It could literally be pretty much the same as in the game

[light latch]

nope

[nimble pebble]

Usually 6-18 months after the trailer the game releases but that's not the case with every game

[lament basin]

yep

[frank sparrow]

i think one of the main reasons people thought Silksong was coming soon was because of Nintendo Treehouse

[light latch]

just proof that people expected the game to come soon based of what they were shown

[lament basin]

nintendo at it again ruining everything

[hollow terrace]

OH NO

NOT SALEH BEING PICKED ON

[lament basin]

it's common for developers to reveal games 2-3+ years in advance at e3

[nimble pebble]

I've known for a while this place was full of impatient children because most of these kiddos have never actually had to wait for a game to come out

[mortal grove]

https://youtu.be/CQeezCdF4mk

[light latch]

usually not ones that are "coming soon"

[lament basin]

nobody shouldve expected silksong to come out with 3 years of hk

[nimble pebble]

it never was

[lament basin]

as ive said, "coming soon" is ALWAYS a placeholder that just means "no clue"

[light latch]

I'm just saying what people thought at the time. Hindsight is 2020

[nimble pebble]

TC never said Coming soon, Nintendo did and they were not the people who had the right to say so and just confused a lot of fans

[frank mist]

Throwback Wednesday

[lament basin]

yeah except "coming soon" has never meant soon ever when it comes to game development

[young saffron]

no silksong sadge

[mortal grove]

january 2022 then

[young saffron]

there is a hope :D

[lament basin]

im gonna say august 2022, and if im wrong, june 2023

[frank mist]

It could be November 5th 😳

[lament basin]

but never in my life have i ever been wrong about anything

[nimble pebble]

Q1-Q2 2022 and if that doesn't happen Q3 2022

[light latch]

And if I'm wrong. 2024, and if I'm wrong 2025, and if I'm wrong 2026, and if I'm wrong 2027, and if I'm

[lament basin]

so there's your release date fellas 😎

[mortal grove]

im thinking september - december 2022

[frank mist]

Im thinking June at the latest next year

[coarse leaf]

February. 24th. 2022.

[lament basin]

if it goes past 2023, ill just find other games to play, ill have graduated college by then and probably wont even have time

[nimble pebble]

We'll be right eventually

[reef scarab]

I think it’ll come out this week

[nimble pebble]

Not to mention this isn't some cyberpunk situation it's not that big of a scale so it will release within the next 28 months most likely

[lament basin]

yeah silksong still is, at its core, a metroidvania 2d platformer

the game can be big by MV standards, but it's still not a big game

[reef scarab]

We just know it’ll release before December 2023

[light latch]

Every year we can throw out a random date or timeframe when we think it will come out and eventually we'll be right. It would be a lot nicer if TC gave us any real status on devlopemnt

[lament basin]

or you can just wait

[fleet temple]

do you have any other games to play?

[mortal grove]

yeah tc needs to break the silence, just a hi is good enough

[light latch]

I play plenty of other games

[reef scarab]

It’ll come out between august 2021-december 2023

[lament basin]

you got an update at the start of this year, and you'll probably get one near the end, chill

[light latch]

What?

[coarse leaf]

Sorry to be the guy, but maybe a life to live?

[reef scarab]

I mean tbf they do usually make a habit of a six month news drop

[light latch]

what update?

[lament basin]

SO TRUE

[lament basin]

the edge magazine interview, the update was "we have nothing important to say"

[coarse leaf]

So true bestie*

[nimble pebble]

Also some sick pics

[lament basin]

yeah there'll probably be something in the next month or two

i know that september- march will zip by

[mortal grove]

[coarse leaf]

Nice reply

[lament basin]

because ill be spending all my time working and going to school

[fair frigate]

Just saying silksong release date will be revealed October 3rd at 3:36 mountain time

[light latch]

oh yeah lol, I got my timeframe messed up. Thought that was december

[mortal grove]

[reef scarab]

This is relevant- they usually try to do it every six months.

[nimble pebble]

[serene chasm]

[hollow smelt]

hmm

[haughty ingot]

Hey Curly would you care to partake in advanced tool discussing? I bet you've got some good ideas

[hollow terrace]

[nimble pebble]

Ah come on they can't be that bad

[hollow terrace]

[cerulean sable]

mfers asking be like
"why not just say there wont be any news"

[frank sparrow]

[hollow smelt]

eh its been boring for like a year now with corona imo

there hasn't been many new games basically

[reef scarab]

Gun

[fleet temple]

[nimble pebble]

Gaming is always fun for me except when my spontaneous boredom kicks in and I get bored of something I was enjoying 5 seconds ago

[haughty ingot]

[hollow smelt]

Thats just ADHD and i fucking feel that

[serene chasm]

Isnt ADD great?

[hollow smelt]

it's a productive meme

silksong late summer 2019* release

[warped umbra]

im preparing for the late 2023 release

[coarse leaf]

February. 24th. 2022.

[mortal grove]

i pray late 2021 but i know its probably mid 2022

[chilly nexus]

i believe

[coarse leaf]

That’s the genuine release date. I will be praised when it happens.

[cerulean sable]

Mid 2022 imo

if i was past TTacco i would say Late 2021

[mortal grove]

I feel like this has happened beforre

spagehtti

[left lintel]

haha

[chilly nexus]

i'm scared for wheels now, they stopped responding

someone send a drone to their location

[sterile flower]

It’s too late now, there gone

[pale ocean]

[cerulean sable]

typical people saying TC was on hot water or something like that

then you have people saying why not just "tell us if there wont be news?"
like bruh why you expecting news in the first place

[chilly nexus]

TC needs to call their lawyers after that indie direct scandal

[signal crag]

Oh snap

[sterile flower]

In silksong do you think we would get scammed again

[mortal grove]

tc will be turned into spathetti

[coarse leaf]

Yeah. Mad people who think they deserve news. What was the one thing I said earlier that perfectly describes their mindset? Oh yeah: #sk-discussion message

[chilly nexus]

literally one of my biggest wants is to be betrayed by grindle. I want him to throw me down a well like patches did siegward

or kick me down a hole

something involving a surprising fall (figurative or literal)

[coarse leaf]

I’ll never forgive Patches for that. Killed him on the spot.

But I heavily regret this as I have no Rusted Coin supplier to help me farm for Proof of a Concord Kept’s

[chilly nexus]

I feel that

[coarse leaf]

And I don’t even have online as of now

I HAVE TO GRIND SILVER KNIGHTS. OFFLINE. For days!

[chilly nexus]

do you know the fast way?

[coarse leaf]

It took me literal days of nonstop playing for the fucking Vertebra Shackles. I CALIBRATED ALL MY STATS TO LUCK (and strength to 20 to two-hand Vordt’s Hammer)

[main relic]

Is that the little rumor guy?

[chilly nexus]

oh dang you farmed the shackles?

[coarse leaf]

Yes

[main relic]

Lol I can see him hiring mercenaries or something but I doubt he lacks the upper body strength to throw Hornet down a well

[chilly nexus]

like I want him to give me a legitimate tip about a treasure in a dangerous area. then we find him again later on, and he's surprised to find us alive and with the treasure, and then he gives us a fake tip, where we fall down a well or somethin idk, any sort of trap or betrayal, so he can take the treasure for himself

[coarse leaf]

Well, ima head out and sleep. Gn, you mortal fools. Never forget in your superiors, especially when your said superior is Giant Enemy Fool! The best of the best! Enough shenanigans, bye fr

[chilly nexus]

then we find him again (after making it out of the bad area) and he's like, no wait! i don't have your treasure anymore, but i made you this, it could be more valuable. and it's a tool or crest or smthn made out of whatever the treasure was

[sterile flower]

I hope we get scammed again in silksong so I can beat up another old lady for money

[main relic]

That is entirely valid and far more entertaining, I applaud your imagination

[chilly nexus]

and then, if you equip that item at the citadel's chapel room, you get to romance grindle

(jk)

[main relic]

HA

[mortal grove]

WBAT

🤨 🤨 🤨 🤨

[chilly nexus]

I like your mercenary idea too, but because we already semi have those with the hired steel assassins, i'm not sure if there would be multiple hired mercenaries from different people in the game to minimize confusion

[vocal stirrup]

Did they give any info in the indie showcase thing

[main relic]

Nope

[vocal stirrup]

Sad

[mortal grove]

no

[main relic]

My reaction to the announcement of the indie showcase was literally "Huh. Whelp can't wait for the rage of thousands of impatient Silksong fans (Sips coffee)"

[edgy sleet]

same

[edgy sleet]

yeah the indie showcase got me really excited and then once again no news

[coarse leaf]

When the next Indie showcase

[tall hinge]

[cerulean sable]

cycle is

fandom is at low burn
V
upcoming event is announced
V
fans start hyping themselves again
V
no news shows up
V
yet another discussion of "why cant they just fucking update us?? theyre on thin ice"
V
fandom simmers down and is at low burn again

[coarse leaf]

What are people talking about?

[tall hinge]

cute pfp taco!

[cerulean sable]

i hate rainworld but i must distance myself to to the hollow knight fandom

[tall hinge]

[coarse leaf]

Can someone answer me for the indie showcases, did that happen recently

[cerulean sable]

im just kidding i dont actually hate its just that everything i say is always a hyperbole

nothing

thats why people are angry

as per usual

[tall hinge]

yeah it happened and nothing about silksong was said

[coarse leaf]

Oh

[cerulean sable]

i mean contextually you could tell just by the recent messages

[nimble pebble]

How you doing Ttaco

[cerulean sable]

i am going through a medieval weapon phase

[nimble pebble]

Based

[cerulean sable]

and i have unironically at one point considered on buying an actual functional 2 handed polehammer and a flanged german mace

but instead i am just gonna install Dark Souls 3 to scratch that itch

[nimble pebble]

I plan to be a man with many swords in my collection

[cerulean sable]

if i reach the high life id consider that

[nimble pebble]

I am also a weapons connoisseur

I like talking about them

Swords and polearms are where it's at imo

[cerulean sable]

true

but i prefer polearms because of how swords dominate the medieval scenery when spears were the defacto weapon of that time

but nooooooooooooooo spears arent as cool as swords apparently

yeah good luck getting one as a fucking peasant, that shit was more of a status symbol

[frigid mauve]

But spears ARE cool

[cerulean sable]

not to hollywood

[frigid mauve]

True, true

[nimble pebble]

I prefer Bisento’s, Naginatas and European polearms like halbards over spears

[cerulean sable]

oh yeah definitely a poleaxe fan

[frigid mauve]

Tbh they're all fire

[nimble pebble]

I prefer pole arms that slash over one like a spear that's more for piercing akin to a rapier

[tall hinge]

clearly i am not a weapon connoisseur

[round falcon]

[nimble pebble]

If the only type of sword you know is "sword" then yes

[round falcon]

[tall hinge]

well i know long sword, and ummm... ummmm...

[nimble pebble]

Personally my favourite type of sword is long swords but specifically the Bastard Sword because it was a third longer and people would misjudge how long it was and get stabbed since it was longer than normal long swords

[fiery coral]

broadsword

[tall hinge]

true unique

[nimble pebble]

Everyone knows Long sword and Broadsword

[tall hinge]

i was thinking something like wide sword but broadsword is the one

[nimble pebble]

The Claymore is massive but that's a great sword not a broad sword

[fiery coral]

only names I know, I learned (learnt? whichever's correct) from Dark Souls

[nimble pebble]

[tall hinge]

[fiery coral]

ah

learnt it is

[tall hinge]

lol

[fluid rock]

someday I'll just go see a blacksmith and ask him to forge me a sword

(hello there )

[nimble pebble]

It's like paid and payed they're the same

[fiery coral]

General Kenobi

[fiery coral]

I've not read "payed" very often

[nimble pebble]

[fluid rock]

imagine the collector with lightsabers

[nimble pebble]

I believe it's a difference of dialect by region

For example Grey and Gray

[fiery coral]

ah, I see

[nimble pebble]

Both are correct however

[tall hinge]

ive also never seen payed maybe its in a minor region

[proud vale]

Buster sword?

[nimble pebble]

The buster sword is just an incomprehensible to lift Great Sword

[brisk token]

Only “paid” is correct. “Payed” is the past tense of a different verb.

[wide mango]

I use grey for dark and gray for light

[tall hinge]

[nimble pebble]

No, payed does work although yes it has another meaning

[nimble dagger]

Like it won't, but can ss start directly after the godhome ending, troll the newcomers you have to fight the final boss from the first game

[brisk token]

Payed is not correct English

[nimble pebble]

I didn't make up the rules

[brisk token]

???

[nimble pebble]

There's a lot of things in English that shouldn't work but do

[nimble dagger]

It can be given enough time, thats how language works

[brisk token]

Dude, look it up

[sweet lotus]

there are some meaning of the word 'pay', like "pay out a rope or pay off a ship" that have 'payed' as the correct type

[nimble dagger]

For example, their used to be plural, now do to modern times it can refer to one person

[brisk token]

I already said that, we are talking about pay in to pay your bills

[brisk token]

Right, but payed is not commonly used

[nimble dagger]

I use it a lot lol

[brisk token]

You wont find it anywhere in official writing

[nimble dagger]

Also some awesome ss discussion

[brisk token]

That is like saying all common misspellings now are correct English

[nimble pebble]

I blame the fact that I'm tired and that one person

[sweet lotus]

I wish I payed for Silksong

[nimble dagger]

That is English lol

[brisk token]

Not correct English, which is what we’re arguing about

[nimble pebble]

Words change meaning over time

[brisk token]

But whatever. Sure, let’s stop

[nimble pebble]

Only you're arguing that

[nimble dagger]

🍉

[nimble pebble]

I'm vibing

[brisk token]

What?

[sweet lotus]

both are correct

[round falcon]

both are correct, facts is facts

[sweet lotus]

yeah I dunno why we keep discussin it

[brisk token]

Both aren’t correct? Can you find me anywhere where it says they are?

[nimble dagger]

How much gibberish has the hornet voice actor have to do in these 2 years do you wonder

[nimble pebble]

Dude you need to chill

[brisk token]

I’m completely chill, we’re having a civil discussion

[nimble pebble]

You're ruining the vibe

[nimble dagger]

Actually its are not /s

[round falcon]

listen to google here

[sweet lotus]

here you are

[brisk token]

That literally proves my point

[nimble dagger]

Didn't realize English diction had such to do with SS btw lol

[brisk token]

We are talking about pay in the transactional sense. I already said that payed is the past tense of a different verb

[round falcon]

both are correct, can you find me anywhere where it says they both arnt?

[brisk token]

In the picture you just sent mate

[round falcon]

how does that prove anything mate

[nimble pebble]

The study of words dictates that words can change meaning over time and that you're too overworked over this

[sweet lotus]

hoy chill down dude

[brisk token]

It literally proves my point. Paid is the only correct past tense form of the verb in the transactional sense

[nimble dagger]

[round falcon]

Payed isn't wrong tho :)

[nimble pebble]

This is like getting worked up that the past tense of Shine is Shawn

[tribal merlin]

ok sea captain sir

[nimble dagger]

Shaw?

[round falcon]

agree

[brisk token]

The first thing I said

At which point people told me I was wrong

[nimble pebble]

Shawn, the past tense of Shine

[sweet lotus]

not different verb, different meaning maybe though!

[nimble pebble]

You said you were going to drop this a minute ago

[nimble dagger]

Ik, im doing a bit about silksong, to call this a ss discussion

Unless if English diction is crucial to ss lol

[nimble pebble]

This is more #SS-Offopic until the game is out

[nimble dagger]

Strange

[nimble pebble]

SS discussion broke, so we talk about other things

We're like 40% SS discussing sometimes

Mostly just vibin though

[nimble dagger]

Btw i cant remember, did team cherry say on release for silksong its coming to both pc and switch?

[nimble pebble]

I was in VC with Leth Earlier twas cool

[nimble dagger]

Like on release date then the other consoles get it later

[nimble pebble]

[nimble dagger]

In which case as following recent games I've decided the most likely option for no news is they're busy making the switch port actually work, looking at ror2 with a 5ish month delay between pc and console

[nimble pebble]

Chatting with Leth like a normal being is fun especially without the "SS WHEN" People there to ruin our casual chat

[nimble pebble]

It's more just a switch game since it's on switch at launch

But it's also on PC

[tribal merlin]

they're not making a switch port, they're developing it for switch natively in the 1st place...

[nimble dagger]

Well either or, still gonna lead to techinalness making either or run on the other device, thats why I asked earlier

[tribal merlin]

wdym either or

it's perfectly possible to develop for multiple platforms

[nimble pebble]

^

[nimble dagger]

Yes, im aware, but using ror2 as an example, the consoles were 5 months behind pc due to the fact that making the game work on consoles took a large amount of time

Thats why I asked of on release on that day itll be on switch and pc, cause it thats the case its perfectly reasonable why theres no news from that technical aspect

[nimble pebble]

That only matters for ports not an on release platform

[tribal merlin]

there's already a perfectly reasonable explanation: game isn't done yet 🙂

[nimble pebble]

Switch and PC are at release platforms

[tribal merlin]

and they don't want to spoil more

[nimble dagger]

I never said its done loll

It probably isn't, which is fine

They be looking at the game and like"what if there was 1 more blade of grass here"

Which is what I love about them lel

[tribal merlin]

or they look at it and say "why is the timing in that area off"

[nimble pebble]

I'd wager they're finishing up content and will be in polishing and bug fixing phase and will be done in Q1-Q3 2022

[nimble dagger]

I'm gonna say Christmas of next year, judging by how big the game is they say it is, 4 years is like the minimum for this type of game id say

I'm assuming in e3 2022 it'll be like "coming this year"

[round falcon]

im assuming you meant the glitch type of bug fixing

[nimble pebble]

It's been 4/5 years if we count when it started and 3/4 if we count when it was the main project

[nimble pebble]

Making sure the game works and that it doesn't have something game breaking before it launches

[nimble dagger]

And if we're really lucky, maybe something at the game awards this year

[round falcon]

[nimble dagger]

Id say it only really counts when they were actively full attention working on it

[hollow sedge]

im so excited to explore this area

exploring new areas is the best part imo

[nimble pebble]

They still worked on it prior however

[nimble dagger]

Maybe it'd be cool for a 2.5d mechanic, idk how they would handle it but id find it cool

[nimble dagger]

We don't know how much, for all we know they could have just made hornet have basic movements and a small test map

[tribal merlin]

we don't know the extent of that though...
did they shoot the shit while drinking a few beers or did they actually already write code for SS?

[nimble pebble]

SS was being worked on in late February early to mid March of 2017 as a side project along side HK DLC and main project attention started after Godmaster was done but before it released in JUly 2018

[nimble dagger]

I just need that mech puppet boss, and my life will be complete

[nimble dagger]

But we don't know how much was actually be worked on, like I said,could be as basic as just basic movements

[nimble pebble]

HK ran out of money and was forced to launch early

[nimble dagger]

Don't say godmaster came out on 2018, christ I feel old

[round falcon]

this time, they got all the money they need, this game is gonna be amazing

[nimble pebble]

That's kind of irrelevant because of their work ethic and the fact that it was a whole year of partial work

[tribal merlin]

it's not irrelevant if they didn't write any code during that time.
they may have collected ideas and done some designs for enemies

[nimble dagger]

Partial work i don't think really counts towards active development

[nimble pebble]

Marmu just clips your hitbox like a prick

[nimble dagger]

Hate marmu.

[nimble pebble]

it does if they worked on it

[nimble dagger]

If, but we don't know, cause we ain't TC

Unless if you broke into their office and spied on them for a year lol

[nimble pebble]

Pretty sure working on it as a side project count as working on it

[nimble dagger]

Also yall think SS is gonna have a boss rush, if so I wonder how

[nimble dagger]

We're gonna spin in circles so I'm just gonna leave you with that

[nimble pebble]

Ari said he hopes we don't expect another godhome but we could get a non Godhome style boss rush

[nimble dagger]

Where did he say this?

[tribal merlin]

was it mossbag interview?

I forgot

[nimble pebble]

To Mossbag when they roomed at PaxAU

[nimble dagger]

I really like the 5 pantheons and the Individual selections, thats all I need

[nimble pebble]

I'm sure we could get a boss rush but it won't be like godhome

[nimble dagger]

That why I said this is all I need

None of the other features just those

[nimble pebble]

Not really

[nimble dagger]

Trolled

[haughty ingot]

maybe team cherry forgor 💀

[coarse leaf]

Team cherry is right now taking notes

[cedar sedge]

hello is this silksong game real

[pallid flare]

yes

[rigid bramble]

No.

[hidden nacelle]

Half

[formal karma]

yea it is, stop pretending that's funny

[wild star]

i played silksong in my dreams
idk what happened but it was fun
and then i woke up 🥲

[finite cliff]

may i present: silksong clock

[hollow gull]

that's a lot of days

[finite cliff]

it counts since silksong was announced

[hollow gull]

oh

that's still a lot of days lol

[finite cliff]

yep

[cerulean sable]

look at the brightside

times flies too fast

that were already near the end of 2021

and SS reveal was 2 years ago

kids these days take that time for granted 😔

[finite cliff]

i am a kid and i confirm, i take that time for granted

[orchid rune]

Somehow that was actually funny

[haughty ingot]

silksong december 2023

[cerulean sable]

once you hit a certain age, year feels like it flies fast, my years when i was 19 until now feels like a blur

[orchid rune]

There's actually a scientific explanation of that

[cerulean sable]

yeah iirc its because theres less events once you grow

so youre less likely to fit that within the year and remember it as a long one, or some shit like that

[orchid rune]

It's also because as a kid your brain is developing

That's why adults remenber the entirety of Gen 1 pokemon and not what they ate yesterday

[hollow gull]

less events

[rigid bramble]

Or another explanation is that you view years as a fraction of how long you've lived, meaning it seems faster and faster

[tall hinge]

when youre 10, one year is 10% of your life. when youre 50, one year is 2% of your life. it makes sense that years would feel like theyre going by quicker and quicker the older you get

[thin maple]

when ur 50, one year is 2%

[tall hinge]

yes!

i knew my math was wrong

couldnt figure out where

[low atlas]

Henlo. Has someone ever tried editing this picture so we could possibly get a glimpse of what is behind the menu (aka where hornet is at the moment)?

[signal crag]

looks to be bonebottom

or well, at least the village seen in some screenshots

[low atlas]

there seems to be some kind of additional blurring effect that wasnt there for the other menu screenshots we have i think

[orchid rune]

I honestly can't even see anything I only see a green circle

[tall hinge]

you can see npcs all around and im pretty sure theres a fire on the right side, thats all i can figure out

[low atlas]

Because back then when this came out, we were actually able to get a good-ish look at a new room by editing the picture

[silver oak]

Hmm, do you have the original of the second picture, pre-edit?

[tall hinge]

hmmmm, i dont think anyone has tried it on that screenshot yet. do you know who edited this second screenshot?

[low atlas]

that is pre-edit

oh i found out where the other screenshot takes place

[tall hinge]

that was quick

[low atlas]

quite anticlimactic tho

[silver oak]

I think the blur is much stronger in the edge one

[low atlas]

give me a second to export

This is just bonebottom again, but this time a room we have seen in a trailer already i think

[tall hinge]

alsart was right

[low atlas]

the house-thing on the right is the dead giveaway

[silver oak]

Yeah that looks like the main area in bonebottom

[low atlas]

still, was worth a try i guess

[pallid flare]

that on the left (under the crest) is definitely shakra

[low atlas]

foud the original pic without the menu

*found

[silver oak]

Hey pyro what causes you to add to the amount of o’s in your name

[pallid flare]

[tall hinge]

yup at first i thought shakra was hornet in the blurred pic

but on most benches she is in the middle of the screen

[silver oak]

That light “campfire” looks a lot like a lumafly lantern

[young crown]

sooo did ss come on indie world

[tall hinge]

yeah i suppose thats the main source of light in the hollow knight universe? or at least in pharloom and hallownest

[tall hinge]

nope :)

[low atlas]

oh btw at least that means that this right here is not in bonebottom, since there won't be two different benches in the starting town i assume

[young crown]

god fricking damnit

[low atlas]

anyway, i am gonna go back to the video-editing cave i live in. have a nice day everyone!

[tall hinge]

cya stizzl!

[tall hinge]

yeah you can see some greenery on the left and bones + skulls on the right so maybe its a sort of crossing between areas? or maybe its just in moss groto

[silver oak]

What did you expect

[silver oak]

[pallid flare]

goodbye stizzl

[mortal grove]

GOODNESS

[silver oak]

So uh, tools

How many…?

Tools…?

[mortal grove]

more then 5 from the looks of it

[pallid flare]

60

60 tools

[silver oak]

HK has 40 I think, but that’s only because any more wouldn’t fit in the interface

[pallid flare]

60 tools

[silver oak]

Since it looks like a scrolling menu there can really be as many as TC wants

[pallid flare]

i want it to break the UI

[wheat crescent]

Why 60 exactly?

[silver oak]

By my count we’ve already seen at least 15

Maybe 20

[pallid flare]

[gray fossil]

woah smt important going on here?

stizzl's here too!

[silver oak]

Yes, we have very important information

About slikbysg

Guys!! i think i just found out a secret in the 2019 trailer for hollow knight silksong!

if you look at the center pixel in the picture in 0:36, you will notice it is white

hornet maybe playable in this game!

this is just a theory tho

a game theory

[silver oak]

It’s not me, it’s me

[pallid flare]

haha

[mortal grove]

but they added banners this month

[gray fossil]

no, zote is

it costs 200000 dollars to play silksong for 12 seconds

[pallid flare]

No one 🐸

someone hacked their kickstarter account to leave a message on the crowsworn kickstarter

[clever folio]

this is so sad 😔

before you ask: yeah, Silksong didnt appear in the Indie Showcase, but the article talks more about the cycle of disappointment fans are receiving as well as some other information

its very objective about it

[sage berry]

if you doublethink really hard you can convince yourself it will release in 2024 and then get a pleasant surprise when it inevitably releases earlier

[clever folio]

mfw (my face when): no silkson news

[sage berry]

it's not easy, I won't lie but it's working for me

[coarse leaf]

I mean, the original Hollow Knight game took about 4 or more years to develop

[clever folio]

didn't silksong start development right after hollow knight was released tho?

[sage berry]

it doesn't matter, it will release in 2024

[coarse leaf]

since Silksong seems to be larger, of course its going to take longer:

Revealed in 2019: "we've been developing this for 2 years"
2021 - 2017 = 4 years

[clever folio]

right

[coarse leaf]

its gonna take a bit longer, I guarantee it

[tall hinge]

they started working on the hornet dlc which then evolved into silksong, so kinda? but not sure when they turned it into a different game

[coarse leaf]

not as long since Team Cherry probably has learned from some of the development of Hollow Knight

[clever folio]

"a rushed game is forever bad, but a delayed game is eventually good"

these words prevent me from completely losing it

[coarse leaf]

but still longer considering some of the details they said about Silksong, like Greymoor being the biggest area they've ever made

[clever folio]

im also waiting on katana zero dlc, elden ring and battlefield 2042

the gamer life is a hard one 😔

[coarse leaf]

I can stay patient because Silksong isnt the only game im waiting for

People were waiting for Halo Infinite almost as long, if not longer, but it has a set release date for this year's Holiday Season
Splatoon 3 is releasing some time in 2022, probably the Summer Season
Silksong has no release date, but by the time it has arrived I probably would already have had Halo Infinite and Splatoon 3 to hold me over

[clever folio]

tbh i was not expecting splatoon 3

i hope its good

[tall hinge]

im just waiting for silksong and overwatch 2 both are pretty much in the same place rn no news for months

[spare elbow]

I imagine much like the switch port team cherry will just show up one day and be like

"uh oh yeah silk song, uhhh it's out tomorrow seeya bye"

[signal crag]

Eastward looks amazing visually, but i hope that’s not the only great thing about the game

[coarse leaf]

it will be good, im just hoping it isnt a repeat of Splatoon 2 and its launch story

[coarse leaf]

I was hoping something like that would happen at E3 like what happened with the Octo Expansion, but I read the article I sent above and apparently no silksong will appear at E3

[clever folio]

i bought splatoon 2 on launch

what happened exactly?

[coarse leaf]

Splatoon 3's probably going to have minimal content at launch as well, but its going to be fresher than 2 for sure

[hardy bridge]

Yesterday I was muted for reaction spamming because I reacted wheeze on a single message

[clever folio]

oh u mean the really bad lack of content

[spare elbow]

The animal crossing new horizon "updates" is a bad model for games

[coarse leaf]

we can talk about this in another chat, but before I head off, does anyone have the Team Cherry article about the character that was created from a now-deceased child? I remember hearing something about it

[coarse leaf]

you mean Kirby Star Allies update model

[clever folio]

u mean seth?

[coarse leaf]

that game was more egregious with it I think

[clever folio]

just look up silksong seth

[coarse leaf]

Hollow Knight on the other hand did the same thing but was complete at launch, technically

[coarse leaf]

alright, thanks!

[coarse leaf]

im hoping Seth isn't going to die in Silksong, I'd love for him to be a permanent NPC like Cornifer and Sly, and not someone like Quirrel or... Tiso

just someone to return to and chat with every now and then

[clever folio]

i really doubt seth will die

something tells me that would be in very poor taste

[coarse leaf]

knowing Team Cherry, that probably wont be the case

[short wagon]

Can I still see SS this year?

[pallid flare]

silkmaybe

[coarse leaf]

but then again the Dream Warriors were kickstarter created characters and were still technically dead eventually

Silksong seems to be a different type of game so that probably wont happen

[clever folio]

actually i take back what i said, if they make you build up a connection to him and make you care like with quirrel then thats fine

[coarse leaf]

this reminds me of the Skyrim grandma who was eternalized in a mod

[clever folio]

but if he just kinda dies like with patches then yikes

[coarse leaf]

tiso comes to mind

[clever folio]

cloth* sorry for some reason i got her mixed up with the dark souls character

[coarse leaf]

cloth was better than tiso

[clever folio]

i cared more about cloth, but tiso was an asshole so thats not really saying much

[coarse leaf]

because she actually lived out her dream of being a warrior instead of foolishly dying like Tiso

[short wagon]

Can I still play silk song this year?
