sk-discussion

[brittle garnet]

Ah, so your point is unfounded. Gotcha. Discussion over, boys.

[opaque sigil]

I mean the "impossible to balance" argument is kinda nonsensical, TC has plenty of options in that regard

[cerulean sable]

and the thing is, how Silksong is looking, people are seeing more steampunk vibes to it to the point that very primitive firearms isnt out of the question, it doesnt even have to be widespread

[opaque sigil]

Gear tower flashbacks

[cerulean sable]

like ozlin said, it could come from either the elite of the elites rich bastards at the top of the citadel who can afford to equip their arms with advance firearms, or having them be equipped in limited batches as experimentals by some insane guy high on mossberries

they could even have one in ducttape

[rapid topaz]

I honestly rather see flying machines than guns, in a steampunk universe, generally. That's not bothering me, it's just more interesting that way IMO

[opaque sigil]

SS has flying machines too, the drones

[brittle garnet]

Large flying transport is kinda low key useless when your whole world in underground

[cerulean sable]

fair enough if you dislike firearms in games were not gonna change your mind about it, but i dont think its THAT immersion breaking when the game always took liberties of tech advancements to their own ends

[opaque sigil]

There are some pretty big caverns

[brittle garnet]

Yeah, but you have to get through smaller ones to get to them

[opaque sigil]

I mean flying seems useful enough for the enemies that do it

[brittle garnet]

Yeah, but I meant flying transport, like vehicles

[opaque sigil]

Well those could just be present in large caverns for intra-cavern transport

[cerulean sable]

steampunk with a mix of the dystopia you see in cyberpunks

[brittle garnet]

At that point it's easier to make a lift.

[opaque sigil]

Maybe, but it sure isn't as cool

[brittle garnet]

Fair.

[rapid topaz]

yeah you're right, guns might exists in this kind of universe. I'm okay with that, was just saying that there's a lot of different techs possible, so idk it's just theorizing anyway

[cerulean sable]

im reminded of those clockwork enemies from DST

[cerulean sable]

yeah wasnt aimed you tho

[tribal merlin]

I mean SS combat seems to be primarily melee centric
but so is bloodborne and that has guns as well

[brittle garnet]

A musket tool would be dope, I'd really love for there to be one

[cerulean sable]

guns were glorified parry machines tho

[brittle garnet]

Silksong already has ranged tools.

[cerulean sable]

hell a niche musket like tools would be the ability to pierce through invuln enemies

[tribal merlin]

melee centric doesn't mean no ranged options
it just means no sniperino bush camping strat

[rapid topaz]

I think boomerang tool would be sick.

[proud vale]

It would but it wouldn't make sense

[rapid topaz]

true lol

[proud vale]

Because you need to consume shards to make the tool, if you get it back, you get infinite tool use

[brittle garnet]

Boomerang tool that you can hit with your needle to bounce back

[opaque sigil]

I mean it could, but that would be pretty hard to balance, having an infinite tool

Unless it just flies back and that's the gimmick, you can't pick it up

[cerulean sable]

if they dont like range, they can always just excuse it as hornet shoving a bunch of shell shards as shotgun ammunition used to kill people in a cone 😎

[brittle garnet]

Blunderbugg

[rapid topaz]

I doesn't need to be infinite, just a few times uses, I just like the fact to have a tool that can hit 2 times when firing it (and requiere some skills)

[opaque sigil]

Ok, idk why I assumed some catching mechanic

[rapid topaz]

I'd just prefer a boomerang than a throwable sawblade tbh BUT either are fine as long as it's coherent

[opaque sigil]

It isn't really an either/or situation, both is a possibility (and we have seen a tool in menus that kinda look like it could be a boomerang)

[rapid topaz]

Yeah that's right

[surreal mortar]

I could really do with some silksong right about now

[rapid topaz]

The first time I saw the sawblade in the trailer I was wondering "Can you pogo on this ?"

[opaque sigil]

That's actually a good question

[cerulean sable]

i wish the sawblade would explode

[rapid topaz]

If it's possible, so this would be a possible sequence breaking thing, I suppose

[opaque sigil]

I mean the spike balls have more sequence break potential, and TC isn't exactly trying to prevent that sort of thing

[rapid topaz]

I really really hope you can sequence break in some ways just as Shade skips for example

[cerulean sable]

honestly wish they buffed the damage in the trailer temporarily

because i got annoyed how hornet had to stop and wait for the saw blade to kill the 2nd cultist

[rapid topaz]

even if it's hard to find

[signal crag]

As long it’s not stupidly broken, then sure thing

Rewards a bit of creativity

[rapid topaz]

well, just like something you couldn't find casually, but if you try hard enough. I don't think people ever thought about shade skips in casual playthrough

[hushed wasp]

i wonder how lifeblood exactly works

[opaque sigil]

Gives 2 (or more) lifeblood masks

[hushed wasp]

wow

[signal crag]

I guess it’s still just extra armor/masks

[hushed wasp]

I mean like, hornet stabs herself with it

[signal crag]

Yeah?

[hushed wasp]

nevermind

[signal crag]

Potentially a life saver if you have very low health and don’t have enough silk to bind

[opaque sigil]

Unless there's a maximum health, there wouldn't really be any reason to wait that long, may as well just use it preemptively

Hell unless you're low on shards may as well just use 'em all immediately after a bench

Unless the lifeblood masks decay or you can only have a certain number

[tribal merlin]

after 60 seconds lifeblood masks start eating your normal masks

[opaque sigil]

We went from grub mimics to flea mimics to bench mimics to mask mimics

[hushed wasp]

Now i wonder how the fleas will work

will you have a central city maybe where they appear? would be cool

[opaque sigil]

They have a caravan that appears in different places over the course of the game

Which could get annoying ig depending on how they do it

[untold frost]

ayo where can we preorder silksong ;-;

[opaque sigil]

Can't yet, may never be able to

[signal crag]

Either they are found in “important locations” you’ll have to visit eventually, or there could be a way to keep track of them?

[opaque sigil]

Maybe they hint at a next location or smth when you encounter them but either way, it could prove inconvenient if you need a boost in cash and there are rewards ready

[signal crag]

Oh well, when the game drops that will be surely a good thing to look into if they did it properly.

[opaque sigil]

Even if they messed that up it's a small gripe at most

[hushed wasp]

Ooh! maybe the like the Ori WOTW inventory!

it keeps track of everything using nice visuals

[coarse leaf]

singsong

[opaque sigil]

idt that's the same as what Alsart was saying. You wouldn't keep track of how many fleas you've collected, you'd keep track of the caravan's location

[hushed wasp]

when was the caravan idea confirmed

[opaque sigil]

Riddles

[hushed wasp]

ok

Sounds cute
flea caravan

maybe its stationary tho?

Or maybe its just in every city regardless?

[opaque sigil]

Edge states that it moves around, plus we've seen the same room with and without the caravan

[hushed wasp]

send me that please

[hushed wasp]

Wheres the caravan

[hushed wasp]

Ohh i see

?

[opaque sigil]

Consensus is that it's probably a tool, possibly lets you take an extra hit or two

[hushed wasp]

i see

[opaque sigil]

Man I'm glad they toned down the greymoor fog, that area looks way better in the caravan gif

[cerulean sable]

you didnt send the whole gif smh

[opaque sigil]

Image got the point across, but fine

[cerulean sable]

i really like the grain

[tall hinge]

i really like you

[proud vale]

[upper oasis]

Bread

[proud vale]

Hornet's little dress flick when she stops dead is kinda funny

[upper oasis]

Lmao

[rapid topaz]

the smoke in the background is sick

[cerulean sable]

for real

i love how fuzzy it looks

especially how it contrasts with those orange lights

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, the light in fog look is quite picturesque

[cerulean sable]

too bad the low qual recording doesnt do it justice

[agile kelp]

If the fleas are children can they be considered as flying kid heads with tiny lines and wings?

[opaque sigil]

...no, they have bodies

[rapid topaz]

I also love the background here

[proud vale]

cute little over the shoulder

[tribal merlin]

Hornet seems to have her own light source

[agile kelp]

She glows

[opaque sigil]

Maybe, or it could just be a game thing

[agile kelp]

Maybe she inherited it from pk

[opaque sigil]

She doesn't glow in HK

[cerulean sable]

there always was a local light source in HK

[agile kelp]

Mayne she barely glows and it can only be noticed in a really dark place

[rapid topaz]

Maybe she has some sort of lantern equivalent, I mean at this point in the game

[charred pulsar]

[opaque sigil]

Even in Abyss there's no perceptible glow, and in the gif it's pretty visible

[tribal merlin]

even illuminates the background

[proud vale]

Simo! How's Destiny?

[opaque sigil]

imo it's either a local thing like TTacco said or this is post-lantern analogue (which I'm not solid on since her sprite doesn't reflect anything like that, unlike how TK had a visible light on it after getting the lantern)

[tribal merlin]

iirc in HK with the lantern it just revealed the bg, not making it brighter

[charred pulsar]

Been good, on that grind. Prepping for hard content with mates

[proud vale]

Nice one dude, good to hear

[charred pulsar]

But need to stop playing it and play something new, like Outer Wilds or Deltarune Ch 2

[proud vale]

!?!??@?@!?

[opaque sigil]

you've done it now

[proud vale]

You have spoken the sacred words sir, you shall not be disappointed

[rapid topaz]

OW dlc ? or base game?

[charred pulsar]

Both

[rapid topaz]

the dlc is coming tomorrow though

I think it's 15$

[frank marten]

orange may i ask you something, do you get paid for every person you convince to play the game?

[proud vale]

If you do get it Simo tag me in off-topic with your discoveries You will be following in Unique's footsteps

[charred pulsar]

Haha will do!

[proud vale]

Such a damn good game (I'm taking ownership for converting ppl on this server to the game lol)

[rapid topaz]

I didn't even get converted, I just played it by curiosity because everyone seems to love it. Wasn't disappointed at all

[frank marten]

tbh never heard of the game but how you talk about it got me interested in it

[rapid topaz]

• it's a space themed game so what can go wrong

[proud vale]

pogpogpogpog don't look up spoilers for goodness sake

[opaque sigil]

Don't even read the steam page if you can avoid it

[rapid topaz]

yes!

spoilers are incredibly bad especially for this game in my opinion

can ruin the experience quickly

[opaque sigil]

I mean knowing the core concept of the game ahead of time doesn't ruin it, but oh boy would it have been better to go in not knowing

[frank marten]

i know that it is wild and outer

[opaque sigil]

And (hopefully) that it's worth playing

[frank marten]

considering that someone that you might not know has accepted ownership for converting ppl on this server has talked very well about it, yes i think it might be gud

[rapid topaz]

Also, it's playable with keyboard and mouse, and controller. I've done it with controller, but I think both are fine

[opaque sigil]

idk I'm pretty firmly on team controller but ig it's personal preference

[frank marten]

oh good cuz i started playing track mania and it hurts

[rapid topaz]

I don't think there's a "better" one between both

you could also try Guitare Hero controller, I don't think it's recommended though

[frank marten]

i dont have a normal controller but i might buy the guitar hero one for the meme

[opaque sigil]

Everybody talks about the wait for SS but nobody says anything about the wait for Outer Wilds Switch release

[frank marten]

kinda makes sense because, you know, hk discord :/

[opaque sigil]

Yeah ik it was a joke

[frank marten]

but yea waiting isnt fun

[opaque sigil]

It's only unpleasant if you make it unpleasant

[frank marten]

waiting is a debuff that stacks the longer you have it

[coarse leaf]

Lol im waiting too even if i just started playing hk yesterday

[opaque sigil]

Only if you're focusing on it

[frank marten]

or if you realise how long it has been

[opaque sigil]

Eh, that isn't unpleasant, it's just a number

[wary marlin]

Silksong

[night hull]

Play it blind, its gonna be more fun

[idle swallow]

What does ss stand for?

[charred pulsar]

Silksong

[opaque sigil]

A bunch of things, but for this channel, silksong

[idle swallow]

So there isnt a channel specifically for sharpshadow then :(

[noble patrol]

Skyward sword

[proud vale]

Shaman Stone

[rapid topaz]

Spore Shroom

[proud vale]

Reminds me, I wonder how we'll communicate with Mr mushroom in SS

[rapid topaz]

Huh

So you're assuming Mr Mushroom is in Pharloom?

(jokes asides I think he'll be in pharloom)

[opaque sigil]

I mean maybe, but idk if he'll appear as a mushroom

[undone fox]

I think he'll be in SS too

[undone fox]

his name is literally Mr Mushroom though lol

[opaque sigil]

He's the "Master Herald"

[undone fox]

ah that too yea

[native sierra]

is 1 feb fake?

[opaque sigil]

And there's also

Caps and shells may fall to dust,
But Mr Mushroom readjusts...
imo TC could add him but adjust his form to better suit Pharloom

[opaque sigil]

It's hard to explain concisely, but no, it isn't fake. It probably isn't accurate, though. That database was used for internal testing purposes by nvidia, so the dates don't really mean much

[trim estuary]

Ikr, it’s so sad

Ss deserves its own channel

[olive bobcat]

Character arc

[proud vale]

oh no

[opaque sigil]

Aluo no

[olive bobcat]

I love this

[rapid topaz]

Possibly is the best answer

I love this lol

[fleet temple]

I say just say it's real and watch the world burn

[safe adder]

[trim estuary]

[pallid flare]

aluo is doing a little trolling

[olive bobcat]

I've reached the point where whatever I post is considered real by new folks

[analog lily]

Does anyone think SS has a chance of being at PAX AUS?
At first, i though definetly so, but now i realise it is pretty unlikely, considering the placeholder date, and also just.a ton of other events with no SS

[night hull]

How are you playing silksong

[proud vale]

I can't wait to see when you make silksong DLC fakes bro

[pallid flare]

always has been

[upper oasis]

There are demos I think

[night hull]

Oh

[pallid flare]

no

[upper oasis]

I don’t know

[viral pivot]

its a trick

[opaque sigil]

Aluo isn't really playing SS, you can rename programs in discord or smth, idk the specifics

[night hull]

Oh

[pallid flare]

aluo made silksong by himself

[night hull]

Homemade ss

[pallid flare]

silksong is a lie, just not how you think it is

[viral pivot]

aluo made the fakes too real

[trim estuary]

It’s really simple, you just go to activity/games/I forgot in discord PC settings and you can change chrome or whatever to Hollow Knight: Silksong

[opaque sigil]

Close enough

[olive bobcat]

Yeah I'm playing the SS demo remake

[rain scaffold]

Yoooooooooo

[opaque sigil]

Here we go again

[rain scaffold]

Could one of you enlightening me what just happened?

[olive bobcat]

Gorball

[shell yacht]

your fakes are gonna create a mandela effect and people are gonna wonder where the cut content went

[pallid flare]

nothing happened

[fiery coral]

[olive bobcat]

I'll know I've made it when I get on the cut content list

[shy kiln]

What does Valar Morghulis mean

[shell yacht]

all men will die..... its part of a greeting and im tired that might be the wrong part

[olive bobcat]

You know what would be real good

If somehow one of my fakes got misinterpreted so much it got in a news article

[opaque sigil]

I wish that wasn't well within the realm of possibility

[fiery coral]

I too say hello to people with a charming reminder of their own mortality

[shell yacht]

all men must die*
not some sexist comment but a statement of mortality

[fiery coral]

[pallid flare]

damn... when?

[shell yacht]

the return greeting is all men must serve, basically saying dont die a lazy shit

[fiery coral]

too late Water, I have already taken it out of context and posted it on Twitter

it's a Game of Thrones thing, no?

[olive bobcat]

Damn, modern feminists kinda wild

[shell yacht]

bro gameranx is hella into silksong but probly not too gullible

[shy kiln]

Ok bye guys

[pallid flare]

you never know what gamerant will post about next

[shell yacht]

IGN tho

fucking idiots

[opaque sigil]

Considering how goddamn stupid the leth quote thing was... It could happen

[fiery coral]

GameRant though

[pallid flare]

This Skyrim Player Discovered Something 10 years after Release

then they point out the most obvious thing ever

[opaque sigil]

Hey they never promised it would be something you never noticed

[olive bobcat]

New quest idea

get on IGN

[fiery coral]

[shell yacht]

[fiery coral]

Remember us when you're famous, Aluo

[pallid flare]

Remember us even if you don't become famous

[olive bobcat]

not you

[fiery coral]

[nimble radish]

[olive bobcat]

Name too generic ngl

[fiery coral]

I see how it is :(

[nimble radish]

GenericNameforMe

[pallid flare]

wait hold on

one of us already got on there lol

[olive bobcat]

That's what made me wonder

[languid linden]

pepeg

Aluo start making a ton of fakes

[shell yacht]

one of you? theres a few dozen people doing Draw x until silksong lol

[olive bobcat]

I've already made 100, what more do you want from me

[shell yacht]

200

[opaque sigil]

200

[pallid flare]

aim higher, 1000

[opaque sigil]

Goddamn internet

[cerulean sable]

personally not a fan with the influx of "doing x until SS comes out day y" posts but they do them

best recent content in the sub was the beating Radiant AbsRad with a guitar hero controller

[shell yacht]

id much prefer a "not talking about release date rumors until ss out" challenge but chat cant handle that

[olive bobcat]

I had a stupid idea I wanna try out

[pallid flare]

that's impossible

[olive bobcat]

I'll post a fake in the subreddit claiming that it is fake, then a bunch of you guys go in the comments saying it's real

[opaque sigil]

Release date is easily the least interesting thing to possibly talk about regarding SS and yet somehow it gets the majority of attention

[pallid flare]

the mods will ban you at this rate

but sure

[opaque sigil]

Can't ban Aluo because others lied and said it's real

[olive bobcat]

Do you think this would be a good fake to post

[languid linden]

Best content of all time in the sub was https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/kp5xvp/i_think_we_are_wrong/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[olive bobcat]

Yeah, my ad one got deleted because of false info, but you can't delete this one because I told the truth

[opaque sigil]

Why

[pallid flare]

i hate you

[opaque sigil]

WHY

[olive bobcat]

Just gotta find out which fake to post

[opaque sigil]

[olive bobcat]

Most of mine suffer the "little bit that gives it away" issue

Like the names in the journal fake up there

Buuuuut imma post the Moss Mother one because idk what else to do that hasn't been done yet

[opaque sigil]

C'mon, that's more than enough to fool people on the internet

[pallid flare]

you think that because you made it

[olive bobcat]

it must be perfect

[shell yacht]

i always regret opening that damn sub. how tf did he get like 12 awards, nuetral karma and tons of naysayers

[midnight radish]

It’s the best theory ever tbh

[olive bobcat]

How does this sound

[shell yacht]

"edited picture of MM journal entry"

ambiguous lie

[pallid flare]

directly specify that it isn't real

well in this case you did

[olive bobcat]

I kinda like the idea of putting "edited"
Imma do it

Posting rn

I'm just looking at the comments

[bleak scarab]

tf is this about, is this about the mario movie with chris pratt

[cunning geode]

people trolling this guy who posted their “theory” about Hollow Knight

[signal stone]

who cares jack black is in it

[marsh ibex]

like yeah furious was an ass but let sleeping dogs lie

[cunning geode]

Was this person… on this server?

[opaque sigil]

Yes

[fiery coral]

I think they were?

[cunning geode]

Scary

[fiery coral]

heard about them

[opaque sigil]

Got banned at least twice

[cunning geode]

I wonder why

[olive bobcat]

Fights the Dark?

[fiery coral]

there's a copypasta from/about them somewhere, I'm sure

[opaque sigil]

No, furiousfusion. His alts were about as obvious though

[olive bobcat]

What'd they do, maybe I'll remember them

[opaque sigil]

They were mostly in #hk-lore

[olive bobcat]

Oh then I don't know them

[pallid flare]

I think I faintly remember fights the dark

[iron spear]

This is the greatest theory I have ever read

Fucking hell everyone shit on him for it and probably discouraged him

I need to go deeper

[formal karma]

Tldr ?

[iron spear]

Did he do his write up??

[opaque sigil]

He was not a pleasant guy to talk to, make no mistake

[opaque sigil]

No, never did

Which was part of the problem, he ignored counterpoints citing this nonexistent guide that he asserted was coming

[iron spear]

I need that write up so bad

[opaque sigil]

I mean I would've liked to take a look at it too, but no such luck

[pallid flare]

"perhaps"

[iron spear]

Absolutely not confirmed that grubs become grubberflies

[pallid flare]

what it's not?

[fiery coral]

Graig you should be a #hk-lore regular

[opaque sigil]

It's beyond heavily implied

[pallid flare]

isn't it directly implied?

[iron spear]

No

[pallid flare]

graig you're trolling right

[marsh ibex]

nope

[tall hinge]

i thought #sk-discussion wouldve learned by now not to listen to the whispers of graig

[tough glen]

ikr
I gotta see the full thing

[opaque sigil]

It isn't technically explicit but it's pretty damn close
Grubberfly's elegy description:

Contains the gratitude of grubs who will move to the next stage of their lives.

[marsh ibex]

He won’t

dude jumped fandoms

[iron spear]

The next stage of their lives is dying inside the old man grub

[pallid flare]

graig what the fuck

[tall hinge]

fax

[gray lance]

If that's the case, I wonder if the old man grub lied to them to make them think they were gonna turn into grubberflies.

[iron spear]

That might be true

[marsh ibex]

graig is a moderator on r/dankmemes

[gray lance]

[opaque sigil]

I mean in all seriousness it's probably a metamorphosis thing but if we're gonna talk about that in detail, makes more sense to do so in #hk-lore

[random fox]

Hello ladies

[signal stone]

my day was made

[random fox]

Oh wow

[signal stone]

i fully support grubs dying painfully

[random fox]

Why what did they ever do to u

[iron spear]

Nothing. The old grub is a horrible Monster

[tropic dawn]

Dying isn't a stage of life, though.

[iron spear]

Yes it is

[pallid flare]

well is it

i'm sure it is

[gray lance]

It could be. Nobody knows 🤔

[tropic dawn]

If you're dead, you're not alive.

[iron spear]

Dying

[pallid flare]

it's also your last btw if you did not know

[signal stone]

they made me waste 3 hours looking for them for an achievement

[iron spear]

You can't be dying while you're dead

[midnight radish]

Did you not have the map from collector

[random fox]

Ur fault for taking so long

[signal stone]

yes i did,and i still spent 45 mins looking for the queens gardens grub

[midnight radish]

Yeah that one is a bitch tbh

I just used a guide to find it lol, no shame in that

[signal stone]

also one in ancient basin close to the mawleks

[opaque sigil]

Some of 'em are pretty tucked away

[random fox]

I wonder if the reason they chose to have grubs be the insects u find and feed to the dad has anything to do with grubhub

[tall hinge]

that explains so much

Graig lore

[midnight radish]

I can’t wait to find fleas I fucking love them they’re so cute

[random fox]

Grubs > Fleas

[signal stone]

your opinion is wrong

[random fox]

How do fleas even get lost, like grubs got kidnapped but the fleas are just idiots

[opaque sigil]

Flea rewards might at least be more interesting

[severe laurel]

The flea circus looks interesting

[midnight radish]

They are just little babies

[formal karma]

Fleas are traveling and they're kids

[random fox]

Well they are idiot little babies than

[iron spear]

Haha yeah the fleas are just dumbasses

[iron spear]

It's ok you pinged me before the second Moonphase of the eternal night of hallownest. Which I'm pretty sure happens because the worm mother, Lilith spoke with Zeus and told him to create Uun the large slug of solitude. Keeper of secrets. Cousin of leg eater

[random fox]

Oh cool so do we get to live?

[bleak scarab]

We.. have been spared..?

Jokes on you joker, time only had relevance in hallownest. It's well known time runs at a smooth and consistent rate only there

[random fox]

Btw, does everything in hk heppen in 12hours, cuz it never got dark

[opaque sigil]

It's in a big ol' cave

[marsh ibex]

there’s no visible sun

[agile kelp]

[random fox]

Where does the light come from tho

[agile kelp]

time and clocks do not exist in hallownest

[marsh ibex]

[pallid flare]

there's no real concept of time as we know it in there

[burnt topaz]

From suspension of disbelief

[iron spear]

It probably all happens in like 30 mins. But to bugs that's like 40 years

[pallid flare]

there's no "years" there's "yeah I almost forgot about it, must be a long time"

[bleak scarab]

The radiance wanted to give the bugs of hallownest some sun light they severely lacked vitamin-D the player killer her though the bugs of hallownest will never get their vitamins now

[languid linden]

There's years

[pallid flare]

there is

[signal stone]

so how old is elderbug

[agile kelp]

theres an age

[languid linden]

"Strange air has been seeping down from above for years."

[agile kelp]

Yes he is

how do you back up that claim

[languid linden]

I'm in class, can't explain

[iron spear]

Where do you think mylas house is

[opaque sigil]

Elderbug was born after Hallownest fell, Hornet was born before

[signal stone]

i dont care skip school

[agile kelp]

hornet is old

[burnt topaz]

It's to do with what he says about the stagways

[pallid flare]

It's been a while since the riddles

[silver oak]

Over a year

[midnight radish]

[pallid flare]

it's been so long since anything has happened

[opaque sigil]

Edge wasn't that long ago, just like 10 months

[pallid flare]

naah not long at all

[signal stone]

dont worry guys they'll announce silksong a day before it comes out just like with deltarune

[glossy gazelle]

that is a good while to most people

[silver oak]

I don’t think you guys know how dates work

[glossy gazelle]

also wasn't it 9 months? Edge was December

[nimble steppe]

More or less

[opaque sigil]

Between 9 and 10, I rounded up

[nimble steppe]

And it was a very big chunk of information

[silver oak]

January 1st to October 1st is 9 months, not 10

[nimble steppe]

We seem to forget that

[silver oak]

And it hasn’t even been that yet

[nimble steppe]

Edges digital article was december

[cerulean sable]

i will pimpillo cryptominers

[nimble steppe]

Round up

[silver oak]

December 31

[cerulean sable]

i want my fucking GPU prices back

[glossy gazelle]

The end of October would be 10 months

[opaque sigil]

It has been January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, and most of September. So yeah, almost 9. mb

[silver oak]

Literally one day from January

[midnight radish]

I’m hoping for news by the end of the year

[silver oak]

Aren’t we all

[nimble steppe]

Literally doesn't matter

[opaque sigil]

Not really. idc

[midnight radish]

No I’m the only one actually

[nimble steppe]

It was news and we were lucky to get it

[radiant wraith]

We know more than enough

keep that false hope i'll be the one laughing in the end

[midnight radish]

[silver oak]

I mean, thinking news is realistic is not the same as wanting news

[cerulean sable]

for the pimpillo i dont get hired for free boyo

[silver oak]

:pimpillo:

[nimble steppe]

Patience is a virtue

[marsh ibex]

I am a crypto miner

I dont mind the game taking a long while, rushing games is never good

[nimble steppe]

I've got pimpillos

majora’s mask crying in the corner

[midnight radish]

If I see one person post the Mario man quote I’ll fucking lose it

[silver oak]

Wasn’t that like less than a year?

[agile kelp]

mario man quote?

[glossy gazelle]

insert that Miyamoto quote here

[radiant wraith]

Chris Pratt

[marsh ibex]

around that yeah

[nimble steppe]

I'd say when was roughly 2 blogposts worth of ino

[silver oak]

First, of course, we have Mario, who will be played by Chris Pratt. He’s so cool.

[marsh ibex]

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

[opaque sigil]

Edge had more info than all the blogposts combined

[glossy gazelle]

"a delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever" that quote

[midnight radish]

Every time some big game gets delayed some redditor posts that fucking quote and gets like 500 thousand dollars in awards even though it has been proven false again and again

[silver oak]

@midnight radish ^^^

[glossy gazelle]

believe it or nor that's a misquote. just a fun fact

[marsh ibex]

Believe it or not

You’re banned

[opaque sigil]

Eh, a game being delayed is concerning since it means something's going wrong at the studio, a game taking a while in development is fine, although development hell is a thing

[glossy gazelle]

farewell

[fiery coral]

a delayed game is eventually good, as Duke Nukem Forever proved

[radiant wraith]

Imagine the pantheon of Pharloom having more than 100 bosses

[silver oak]

25th anniversary is no more

[nimble steppe]

Ooooorrrrrr there's no problem at all and they just wanna add more cool stuff

[opaque sigil]

In that case they probably wouldn't have announced a date

[signal stone]

like silksong isnt long enough

[nimble steppe]

They haven't announced a date?

[glossy gazelle]

hence why that quote is not always accurate. but Duke Nukem is kinda of a special case where it took 20 years for the devs to get their crap together, and the game still isn't good

[radiant wraith]

No length is long enough

[opaque sigil]

Not talking about SS, speaking generally.

[silver oak]

A bad game is good delayed, good while bad forever game bad bad.

[nimble steppe]

Look team cherry are people

[signal stone]

the longer the game the more bad it gets

[nimble steppe]

Good people. And at the end of the day we can't ask them to work more than they already are to rush their masterpiece

[glossy gazelle]

insert half life 3 joke here

Nobody is (currently) criticizing TC for taking as much time as they have

absolutely nobody

damn them if they do

0 people

[nimble steppe]

Look at what Nintendo and the pokemon company did for sun and moons development

They basically told half the story before release day

[agile kelp]

what did they do?

[glossy gazelle]

Pokemon's development is a glorious example of what we call "how annualizing a series can negatively affect it"

[olive bobcat]

I wish GameFreak would actually be given enough time to make another good Pokemon game

[silver oak]

Call of Duty, literally any sports game

[nimble steppe]

This too

[agile kelp]

a new pokemon mobile game came out

[robust pecan]

when have they ever made one in the first place? All the pokemon games have been mediocre at best

[chrome dragon]

Definitely sports games

[silver oak]

Me when Madden 19 assets in Madden 20

[glossy gazelle]

Well I think after the Gen 5 games (which are actually good but recieved negatively) they started to annualize the Series to the groaning of many.

[silver oak]

They couldn’t even be bothered to change one number

[nimble steppe]

My point is, they've shown us enough. The only update I'd like to see from team cherry is that they're ready for us to experience the game

Nothing else is necessary

[radiant wraith]

I think this notion that developers have to surpass themselves with each new game, have more content, flashier boss fights, better everything, is a little toxic. I'm worried that TC might be feeling that pressure and adding more and more to surpass HK and meet the high expectations.

[olive bobcat]

Gen 5

[trim estuary]

music

[robust pecan]

gen 5 is good for pokemon's standards, they're still mediocre games overall

[nimble steppe]

You're entitled to your opinion

[opaque sigil]

It isn't a question of necessity, it's at their discretion

[copper knot]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[silver oak]

You can’t hide with a sneaky username, Aluo

[opaque sigil]

None of what they've shown us was necessary

[silver oak]

I know it’s you

[agile kelp]

thats a song

[lyric frigate]

have they changed https://www.hollowknightsilksong.com/?

[nimble steppe]

True but what's your point?

[opaque sigil]

That even though nothing else is necessary they could still show things if they decide it would be useful or just at a whim

[silver oak]

It’s still a website

[tall hinge]

why the question mark at the end of the link, youre making me sussy

[lyric frigate]

ik but i thought it looked different before

[opaque sigil]

It was changed but only because they changed hosts, no real significance to it

[silver oak]

They updated the layout a few months ago

[nimble steppe]

We crashed the old site pretty easily

[umbral blaze]

SILKSONG

[glossy gazelle]

So Leth had to update it

[midnight radish]

So true

[coarse leaf]

as soon as i saw the question mark i already was like " never gonna give you up" while clicking on the link
wasnt a rickroll tho so thats nice

[wanton crest]

omg leak ??

[silver oak]

I agree wholeheartedly

[opaque sigil]

The site's still the same btw, just shuffled around a bit. Same information

[midnight radish]

When was it changed

[glossy gazelle]

man rickrolling ss fans is really funny the third time though-

[opaque sigil]

While back

[silver oak]

A few months ago

[midnight radish]

Ah

[silver oak]

Some time over the summer

[umbral blaze]

Spoiler:silksong is silksong

[midnight radish]

So true!

[glossy gazelle]

#hk-art-gallery

[agile kelp]

the true nightmare

[rare nymph]

yeah, I hope we see that in silksong

[nimble steppe]

Brings us to a good question

What's the primal aside of silksong gonna be like?

[trim estuary]

||your mom||

[midnight radish]

It’s gonna be that fucking laser thing from the trailer

[trim estuary]

Probably a mini puke bug

[nimble steppe]

Dancing over everything, evading attacks

[olive bobcat]

What happened

[umbral blaze]

I want music

[nimble steppe]

I still wanna see dustroaches

[agile kelp]

also i just realised the website says hornet is guided by the echoes of her past

[trim estuary]

What about the thing

[nimble steppe]

I love Surr's take on them

[trim estuary]

With the head

[silver oak]

You were typing and never said anything, so I went to ping you and discovered your secret identity

[midnight radish]

What are dustroaches

[nimble steppe]

In the place with the guys on the side?

[olive bobcat]

I was gonna talk about gen 6 but had to do something

[trim estuary]

No
The guy with the hard head that was scrapped from hollow knight

[umbral blaze]

Oreo hornet

[agile kelp]

it also implied hornet already has her title of protector of hallownest

[trim estuary]

The blundering obelisk

[nimble steppe]

Ah yes him

[nimble steppe]

They're mentioned in one of the old blogposts

Swarming little beastie bugs

I have a feeling this lil guy is one

[agile kelp]

hornet can throw fishing hooks at innocent people

[midnight radish]

This looks like one of those demotivational memes

[nimble steppe]

Indeed it do

[silver oak]

The guy at the top or the ones on the ground?

[nimble steppe]

Ground one

[silver oak]

Because the guy at the top is likely a quest npc

[nimble steppe]

That hornet is chucking a spear at?

[silver oak]

We can see them in bell town, which we know is right next to here

[nimble steppe]

Javalin*

Ohhh

Maybe it's a competitive hunt

And npcs will rush and race to to meet the goal before you

Interesting

[night hull]

He looks like he has menderbug personality

[agile kelp]

and i think they can deflect hornets javalin or the 2 are cooperating to hunt or rid the town of pests near the outskirts

[nimble steppe]

If that's the case why is that bug throwing a dart

Remember hornet seems to be able to adopt tools from enemies in some circumstances

[night hull]

Yes, he is clearly throwing it

Maybe he teaches hornet, and then they go outside of town to test the ability

Or smth i dont know

[frank mist]

The way hornet dives at her enemies while yelling “shaw” is just full of the exaggerated swagger of the pale kings child

[olive bobcat]

Hornet attacking the guy is all part of the lesson, yes

[night hull]

I dont think its aimed at at the guy

I drew a line above the needle

And it still didnt hit him

[wheat sail]

probably cause its not auto aim you gotta do it

[night hull]

Ik

These are wild speculations, we will know when game comes out

I havent watched full nintendo treehouse gameplay still

[glossy gazelle]

I see Nosk killed chat again

[night hull]

Still dead

[glossy gazelle]

I see chat is dying a lot more as of recently

[warm bone]

I wonder why

[green kraken]

try to say no news without someone saying edge

[wheat sail]

Maybe pax aus

[thin hearth]

When likes on Twitter from TC and Ari appearing online for 4 hrs is the hot news, it’s easy to see why the momentum dies down quick

[warm bone]

Counting edge it’s like 9 months

[foggy dune]

i know people have already disected it but what was the verdict for the feb 1st relase date. is it real?

[night hull]

Prob a placeholder

[tribal merlin]

it's a resounding

[olive bobcat]

I think TC should like one of my tweets so people freak out and get confused

[night hull]

When pax aus

[night hull]

Or Leth

[olive bobcat]

That'd work

[nimble steppe]

That would be cool

[olive bobcat]

Someone should ping Graig about this so he can ping Wilbo about it

[untold inlet]

TC were online??

[tribal merlin]

Ari was online

[untold inlet]

Ohh

[tribal merlin]

Leth and Graig were as well but they're online quite often

[untold inlet]

The way that that actually feels significant after all this time 😭

[night hull]

Silksong coming out in 69 miliseconds

[split cypress]

uh oh

[night hull]

It shouldnt

[night hull]

That was few weeks ago

[midnight radish]

I don’t think ari or william being online is a big deal lol, probably just them messaging someone they don’t live near or something

[coarse leaf]

when were they online

[coarse leaf]

ayo

[night hull]

I think few weeks ago

[signal crag]

almost everyone guessed it was, since it happens so rarely, and in previous cases, it happened shortly before major announcements

[night hull]

But if thats the case why isnt there an anouncment

[midnight radish]

Ah, didn’t know that

[signal crag]

i guess simply because it's the first time that a TC member being online (that's not Leth or Graig) wasn't followed by some announcement

[fair willow]

SS not out yet?

[signal crag]

at this point i'm not even sure if the usual december blogpost will even happen

[glossy gazelle]

I mean I doubt they'll do something like Edge again

[signal crag]

i mean, more like
just giving any more updates until the game is out

[glossy gazelle]

Yeah the next "news" I'm expecting is a release date (most likely tied to a release trailer of some sort)

[midnight radish]

Off topic but why do both pharloom and hallownest have scholars that like to write poems that talk to their respective kingdoms like they’re people

[opaque sigil]

I mean there was only ever one instance of a december blogpost with SS info

[midnight radish]

Well pharlooms folly was written by a conductor but still

[night hull]

Do you know

How many poems there are about kingdoms like they're people

At least 2

[opaque sigil]

Not even specifically as people, just as a second party

[cunning geode]

real life poems/songs have addressed locations as people

[opaque sigil]

It's a pretty common thing

[midnight radish]

Idk I just think it’s funny

[cunning geode]

Decemberists’ song about Los Angeles comes to mind

[opaque sigil]

I feel like there's a term for that, but I can't remember. Not personification, exactly

[midnight radish]

I’ll ask my creative writing teacher who is a poem nerd

[opaque sigil]

If there isn't one feel free to throw me under the bus as the fool who thought there was

[olive bobcat]

Los Angeles could never have humanity

[cunning geode]

ha

the song is pretty critical of the city, obviously

[long nimbus]

A little late to this, why is the general consensus surround the leaked release date?

[pallid flare]

what's your question?

[opaque sigil]

Probably a placeholder

[pallid flare]

why the general consensus is like that?

[opaque sigil]

100% not a guarantee of anything

[long nimbus]

Like has there been conflicting evidence etc.

[pallid flare]

It doesn't make any sense if you think about it

[long nimbus]

Why?

[pallid flare]

why would they ask TC for a release date half a year in advance?

why would they even ask for one?

[opaque sigil]

More importantly why would TC be able and willing to supply one

[long nimbus]

Then why would they put a date at all?

[pallid flare]

that's a great question

[opaque sigil]

Because that's what placeholders are for

[pallid flare]

that's why we assume that it is a placeholder

[long nimbus]

But why would it be one that seems semi realistic?

[pallid flare]

why is it even slightly realistic?

[long nimbus]

February mostly

[pallid flare]

it could release at any time

[long nimbus]

Like it could’ve been any month or year

[pallid flare]

fireb0rn just painted february as the best month for it for some reason

[opaque sigil]

There's no real reason to believe that SS is more likely to release in February than any other month

Any date that had been in that database would have "seem[ed] semi-realistic"

[long nimbus]

Hk was released February, initial ss trailer in February, all that junk

[opaque sigil]

People would say the same if it was October 1 2022, or January 8 2023

[midnight radish]

It’s called an Apostrophe, apparently

[cunning geode]

then its just as convenient to make a placeholder date in february

[pallid flare]

doesn't mean much

[opaque sigil]

Well good to know I'm not just insane

[pallid flare]

we can't rely on those patterns

[cunning geode]

anthropomorphize?

[midnight radish]

Nah this is specific to poetry

[cunning geode]

alright

[long nimbus]

Convenient? If nobody would see it and the people making the code probably had a keyboard with all the letters on it, then why would it be?

[cunning geode]

i dont know, i didnt put it there

[warm bone]

History repeats itself

[pallid flare]

it's probable that they set the date at that point of time because of that

[cunning geode]

but lets say TC wrote that.
"oh we have a habit of doing stuff on february lets just write february 1st"

[pallid flare]

silksong announced in february -> put february as placeholder date

[cunning geode]

thats one option

[long nimbus]

Yes but you’ve got to at least understand that it doesn’t make sense why they would do something so coincidental

[opaque sigil]

Same reason the steam placeholder was just the HK release date + 2 years.

[long nimbus]

For 2022?

Like I’m not saying that it’s a guarantee by any means, just that it’s not some sort of impossible conspiracy either

[cunning geode]

its not really anything. this leak doesnt really clear up anything about the game

it makes it more confusing

[warm bone]

Why do you think that tc would give nividia the date

[cunning geode]

so really people shouldnt bother wracking their heads about it

[pallid flare]

please keep these in mind^^^^

[long nimbus]

Maybe they’re pretty comfortable with the release date. Like if they’re in the playtesting phase

[cunning geode]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warm bone]

They’ve been playtesting tho for a while

[opaque sigil]

They wouldn't be five months out

[pallid flare]

5 months is way too far in advance

[opaque sigil]

By the time you are substantially confident in a release date you'd be pretty close to release

[pallid flare]

TC themselves said that they don't really know when they're done

[long nimbus]

Yeah I mean not like exactly on feb 1, but somewhere close

[pallid flare]

same thing

[opaque sigil]

Plus Nvidia has said that the data is just for internal testing and that same database had stuff that has not and may never see a PC release

[long nimbus]

Yeah maybe, could just be damage control though

[random fox]

R yall talking about the leak again

[pallid flare]

yes

[rapid topaz]

yes

[random fox]

I see.

[long nimbus]

This is the biggest thing we’ve gotten in awhile

Whether or not it holds any credence

[pallid flare]

it is

[opaque sigil]

The fact that it holds no credence makes it irrelevant

[pallid flare]

that too

[opaque sigil]

It isn't even listed as a release date in the database

[long nimbus]

I never said it held no credence

[random fox]

Just wait for pax were getting release date 100%

[pallid flare]

it isn't even the release date, just the earliestStreetDate

[opaque sigil]

I did

[pallid flare]

whatever that means

[long nimbus]

How do you know that it holds no credence for sure?

[pallid flare]

the things we've told you over the past 10 minutes

[random fox]

I mean u never rly know smth for sure, theres always a chance

[opaque sigil]

All the listed reasons, plus if it needed to be accurate they couldn't have changed the date to June 13 or whatever

[pallid flare]

but in the end you never know

[opaque sigil]

Nor do you have to to establish credence

[rapid topaz]

There's a chance for everything to happen at this point

[opaque sigil]

Credence is more about reliability than anything else, and this date is in no way reliable

[random fox]

Tru, like theres a chance that they just say "aigh lets drop this tomorow", its unlikely but hey, theres a chance

[rapid topaz]

Well I doubt anyone would trust this, but you're totally right

[random fox]

Ye

[long nimbus]

It doesn’t need to be accurate. And once again, damage control. I’m not saying that this is confirmed release date 100 percent. Maybe nvidia asked them for an estimated release date and they gave that answer. It’s truth isn’t dictated by how reliable it is because if that was the case then talking about any leaks ever would be irrelevant unless otherwise confirmed

[opaque sigil]

Nvidia doesn't need an estimate in that database

[long nimbus]

Yeah but it wouldn’t hurt to ask

[pallid flare]

there is no reason to ask for an estimate

[opaque sigil]

It also wouldn't be a benefit to anybody

[pallid flare]

especially for NVIDIA of all people

[random fox]

Btw why does nvidia need those dates

[opaque sigil]

It doesn't really, they're just for internal testing

[dreamy zenith]

placeholders

[tribal merlin]

it costs money to send people around asking all kinds of devs for dates, and that for data where accuracy isn't needed

[random fox]

I mean like why does nvidia have games in their files n stuff like that, does it have to do smth with their cards

[dreamy zenith]

uh, geforce now?

[long nimbus]

I thinks it’s their service or something

Yeah GeForce now

[dreamy zenith]

it was a date for GFN

[random fox]

Whats geforce now

[dreamy zenith]

technically it could come before then lol

that'd be extremely funny

[random fox]

Im so clueless about the nvidia things

[dreamy zenith]

geforce now is a game streaming service

i think

[opaque sigil]

SS would probably not work super well on that ngl

Seems like the input lag would be problematic

[dreamy zenith]

well, depends on internet connection

as well as quality of servers used

just download the damn game lol

[opaque sigil]

There's also the fact that SS won't be that hard to run

[rapid topaz]

Do we have infos about that ?

[opaque sigil]

I mean it's still just a 2d sprite-based game

[long nimbus]

It’s a 2d platformer

[rapid topaz]

I mean, do they wrote the minimal specs
