[summer kindle]

meh

[cunning geode]

yeah I’m personally not a fan of games where weapons/items just get thrown around willy-nilly with nothing beyond having higher or lower stats

[summer kindle]

sky sounds like a game that'd be funny to play with friends for a bit but not actually good

[floral kindle]

yes

[agile kelp]

its mainly a game to find friends or just relax to the nice music, besides that theres not much. i guess theres a cave in one of the areas that has a few trails that are a bit fun? the last one is just irritating though

[summer kindle]

yeah i don't like that kind of game

[analog forge]

stats can be fun an interesting, as long as its the right kind of stats.
+1 fuck off dragon, for instance, is a fun stat

[cunning geode]

yeah

[analog forge]

games where theres only 1 stat and its power, i'd say, arent rpgs.

[cerulean sable]

what i fucking hate are the OH WOOAHHH HERES AN ITEM THAT GIVES YOU 0.64341% EXTRA DAMAGE AGAINST "ASSHOLE" TYPE ENEMIES WOAHHHAHAHAHA

[peak flint]

finally kill those aspids

[summer kindle]

EQUIP THIS ARMOR

[agile kelp]

i mean as a one play thing its nice, the friends you find make you stay there and then you leave. It has really calming music though but thats all, i mainly visit the game just to revisit friends or just to play the instrument feature which is really nice actually

[cunning geode]

obviously it’s a game to game basis

[bleak scarab]

its so ugly though

[analog forge]

thats a common stereotype, but i dont think its actually all that common

[cerulean sable]

like in ARPGs i get, youre trying to min max those numbers so you can see more shiny numbers pop up

[analog forge]

fate 3 > all other arpgs

[cerulean sable]

i only played Fate 1

[summer kindle]

IT GIVES YOU ONLY 2 DEFENSE BUT IT GIVES +1 DAMAGE AGAINST THE WEAKEST ENEMY TYPE

[fiery coral]

remember when God of War had RPG elements for some reason

just why

[analog forge]

thats fine, fate 3 includes the basically the entirety of fate 1 and 2 for NO reason :)

[cunning geode]

Yeah I heard about that, Unique

[agile kelp]

wait what god of war had rpg elements?

[fiery coral]

don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic game otherwise

[analog forge]

god of war has always had rpg elements?
thats literally the point of red orbs

[fiery coral]

and even the RPG elements aren't too bad

[agile kelp]

i just started the game so i have no idea about anything

[fiery coral]

but still there's no reason for them to be there

[fiery coral]

oh come on you know what I mean

[analog forge]

No, i genuinely dont.

[fiery coral]

no?

[agile kelp]

i just found out they had armor feature and that you can equip abilities though

[fiery coral]

nothing from the new God of War strikes you as something that's normally in RPGs and hasn't been in previous God of War games?

really?

[analog forge]

I mean i guess it has a gear and loot system, but those are so ubiquitous that i feel it hardly counts.

[fiery coral]

"ubiquitous"

never been in a single GoW game till now

for those unfamiliar:

[analog forge]

Ubiquitous in modern gaming.
It wasnt as widespread during the ps2 era.

[cerulean sable]

like crafting systems

[analog forge]

Yeah

[cerulean sable]

and hunger management to some degree

[analog forge]

Hunger management is ubiquitous to survival games, not games in general.

[cerulean sable]

fair

[fiery coral]

the 2018 game added stuff like armour, talismans, skills and such, each with their own stats and cooldowns and stuff

you had stats affecting health, defense, strength, luck and some other stuff that I can't remember because it's been a while, and upgrading them required hunting for different resources around the world

this was in stark contrast to the previous games

[agile kelp]

wait isnt that there in all 3d games?

like horizon or dark souls?

[analog forge]

The entire genre of game changed.
the camera angle, the structure, the story, the very essence of kratos as a character.

[summer kindle]

all 3d games??

[fiery coral]

in which there was one main resource, orbs, obtained from killing any and all types of enemies, and you could increase damage and unlock new moves by using those orbs

there was no "equipment" as such

[agile kelp]

most? the popular ones?

[analog forge]

Those things are so minor compared to the big changes in gameplay that they arent terribly relevent i feel.

[fiery coral]

it was not in the series up to that point

[agile kelp]

oh

[summer kindle]

i guess

[analog forge]

Like the rpg elements that it does have enhance the new slower pace of the game, not detract from it.

Cursing them for being rpg elements seems... off

[fiery coral]

you got other methods of dealing damage, which were either special moves or new weapons, but there were like 4 of them or so per game

[fiery coral]

I'm not cursing them, I just...don't think they were necessary in the first place

[analog forge]

they were nessacary to give the sidequests and the new open hub map meaning.

[agile kelp]

they seem more like just stats that can be in any game like a strategy or something, i mean sure almost every RPG has them but they take them more extremely, i dont think god of war depends entirely of stats or makes you grind for it. also you get hackliver everywhere

[analog forge]

All the design changes compliment and interlock with each other.

[agile kelp]

or i think it was called hackliver idk, then theres also coffin metal which is for weapons or armor which is fair

[analog forge]

hack silver

as in, hacked up bits of silver

[agile kelp]

oooh

also am i supposed to be able to unlock the gigantic door i cant unlock when you first open the game?

its covered with ice or something

[fiery coral]

yes

you will some time later

[hushed wasp]

The quests seem fun

[agile kelp]

oh thank god i dot worried

[distant orchid]

I have a feeling that the blocked up doors in moss grotto in the E3 demo won't be blocked in the final build

They were just blocked to funnel you through the area on a linear path

[lapis oyster]

Silksong

[agile kelp]

maybe,but they couldve just put wall. why put a door that looks like the weavers? unless ofcourse we will be able to open the door later with an ability or marking like the kings brand or an npc or puzzle could open the door

[tribal merlin]

pretty sure the doors will be there at the start

[hushed wasp]

moss grotto is kind of the tutorial area, like kings pass

Doors will be there probs

[peak dagger]

Day 69420. Status: Awaiting the release of Silksong

[rigid mantle]

true

the moveset of hornet is going to be fun

realizing that the game will be modified to her moveset

[shy kiln]

Wow, you waited 150 years for Siksog to release

[rigid mantle]

but nevertheless the game will be fun

[cerulean sable]

Day 1367 since the Reveal Trailer
Status: Finally enjoying the 2nd content pack for Silksong 271 days since its release, currently tons of people are still playing, the subreddit has reached 400,000 subs for the first time in its history and its being a strong contender for this years Indie of the Year 2022

[rigid mantle]

more time = more content = more fun

[shy kiln]

This is what could have been

[cerulean sable]

This is what it will be

was, will, will be

[shy kiln]

Ok

[rigid mantle]

sweats nervously you-you can tell the fu-fu-t-futur-e-future?

[shy kiln]

Yes lol

[cerulean sable]

Maybe? Maybe not

Or perhaps we already are in the future, we just cant see it yet

[shy kiln]

So, in conclusion; Yes lol

[rigid mantle]

Holy- i didnt think that deep...

[wild star]

chair

[shy kiln]

Do they exist though? ’Vsauce music intensifies’

[rotund sentinel]

Whats a better theory that hornet is looking for her home in farloom or she got caught in hallownest

[shy kiln]

Yeah, but her home is Hallownest

[tribal merlin]

yep we know she got kidnapped, and she doesn't have a home in Pharloom

I mean maybe she'll get one in SS who knows

SimSong

[agile kelp]

Actually was hornet caught outside hallownest or near it because if the 1st true then 1) why is she outside hallownest and 2) it looks like the people carrying the cage have been traveling for a while and its also implied hallownest is a while away

And if the other is true 1) why did those bugs go all the way to hallownest just to catch someone like hornet or a weaver and 2) how did they not only catch hornet but weaken her to such an extent?

[trim scaffold]

Interesting questions...never thought of that

[rotund sentinel]

Phar LOOOM WEAVERS?

also i think when the infection goes away some bugs KNOW and remember how to get out of hallownest.

[summer kindle]

for b2, the answer is bobm. trust me on this.

[tribal merlin]

she can't be caught out of Hallownest because that would rule out sealed siblings

[rotund sentinel]

so other bugs can come out

[trim scaffold]

Some things I wish were in Silksong (though I doubt it will happen lol)

1. Customization like maybe change Hornet's cloak? Idk
2. Grimm Troupe lore more explained
3. Void explained more

[tribal merlin]

you prolly won't see any of those 3

[trim scaffold]

Yeah I know wishful thinking

[rotund sentinel]

XD

[summer kindle]

hm yes. hornet game explaining empty juice and a completely unrelated group that has no reason to be in pharloom

i'd like to see those things too but it's just not happening

[trim scaffold]

But I really do wish Grimm troupe comes back but for the sole reason of explaining who they really are and what they're trying to achieve not just the ritual part

[tribal merlin]

but that's old content

[summer kindle]

but unlore D:

[tribal merlin]

they're not working for a long time just to recycle content

[trim scaffold]

But they are still apart of the whole story despite that

[summer kindle]

true true

[tribal merlin]

SS isn't a narrative continuation of the story

[summer kindle]

but are you gonna have lifeblood in SS

or uhhh. the radiance

[trim scaffold]

We did see a glimpse of the lifeblood....vaccine thingy lol in the trailer

[summer kindle]

grimm troupe is completely optional iirc

[summer kindle]

my brain is not working but it was a bad example anyways

[trim scaffold]

XD

And wonder if they'll be bringing up about her being the child of the PK

[summer kindle]

but like the bosses are all part of the story... false knight 2 in ss confirm??? /s

[trim scaffold]

More maggots lol

Hmm speaking of false knight, wonder if they'll also bring up Grey Mourner's origins too

[summer kindle]

curtain

[trim scaffold]

And the whole delicate flower thing

[tribal merlin]

SS isn't there to answer your questions about HK

[summer kindle]

oh yeah the five billion one of a kind fragile magical flowrs

[tribal merlin]

also it's meant to be new player friendly

so any insider content is pretty much ruled out

[trim scaffold]

Lmao once again, it's still a part of the HK story I mean it is called HOLLOW KNIGHT: SILKSONG

[tribal merlin]

it's not part of the story
it's in the same universe that's why it's called HK

[summer kindle]

well hollow knight witout hollow knight is nothing. hollow knight silksong without hollow knight is silksong

[trim scaffold]

Well guess we'll see. And we'll also see where Silksong left off

[summer kindle]

??

[ivory comet]

I will change Hornet tenue

It's like, so kill

[summer kindle]

i see

[ivory comet]

SILKSONG OUT FOR CHRISTMAS

[pallid flare]

hello silksongers

[trim scaffold]

Lmao if only

[summer kindle]

hhaa

[rapid topaz]

hi

[trim scaffold]

Watching silksong trailer everyday feels like it's gonna come out any minute lol

[rapid topaz]

just by curiosity, what does the number at the end of your name means?

[summer kindle]

hello unkinged round

[sweet lotus]

hello merry chap

[pallid flare]

its a counter

[trim scaffold]

Silksong wonder if we can now hear bugs singing lol

And we're all just saying hello

[rapid topaz]

If silksong comes out for christmas or february, I'll boost this server for 12 monthes

[trim scaffold]

Wow ok then

[rapid topaz]

so not january

[pallid flare]

it counts when certain, magic words get said in this chat

[sweet lotus]

if Silksong comes out, I'll temporarily leave this server

[pallid flare]

might be related to events that have recently happened

[trim scaffold]

If silksong comes out I'm gonna go out for a drink lol jk

[rapid topaz]

Ah I guess it's for every || Silksong when||

[pallid flare]

actually, no

[trim scaffold]

Try doing a ritual for Silksong lol

[ivory comet]

When Silksong out, my scolarity in faculty will take a punch

[rapid topaz]

I think there's high chances I won't boost the server though

hard to assume it's coming so early

[trim scaffold]

When Silksong comes out I'm gonna blast caremelldansen on my speakers lol

Haha remember that "leak" lol

[fleet temple]

Is it one of those "days since last ss news" things?

[pallid flare]

no

[fleet temple]

your iq?

[pallid flare]

i will reveal once it reaches funny number

[rapid topaz]

I think it's for every Zoteboat mentions

[trim scaffold]

I honestly hope that by the time Silksong comes I have enough money... like I just went through a bonus

But once again, wishful thinking

[fleet temple]

My guess is it's the amount of braincells you've lost waiting for ss

[pallid flare]

almost there

[trim scaffold]

Bless those people who just played Hollow Knight recently lol the pain of waiting for ss may be less....maybe

[rapid topaz]

Imagine playing the original game once SS comes out, so you go for the sequel without waiting

[trim scaffold]

Oh no xD

Lucky

They didn't go through the pain

[rapid topaz]

true

[trim scaffold]

The real path of pain is the long wait for ss

[rapid topaz]

maybe the real path of pain is all the "silknever XD" we said along the way

[trim scaffold]

Haha for me though I really believe that it will come out and besides, it's gonna be fun to say to other people who genuinely believe Silksong will never come out say "HAH what was it again?!"

Just like when so many doubted Omori's release but that is another topic

[supple lion]

people always say that. just like "ff7 remake is never coming out " or "elden ring is never coming out"

[rapid topaz]

Yeah I'm hyped for the time where we get nostalgia from the eternal waiting of silksong "Remember when this channel was a total mess? yeah, good ol' time"

[mortal grove]

does anyone else worry that silksong wont live up to the hype

[tired lake]

^ I dont

[supple lion]

if its even just 0,0002% better than HK it will have lived up to the hype

[summer kindle]

is it silksong release date leaked or silksong in direct when

[mortal grove]

i worry especially since its taking a while

[summer kindle]

which builds up hype

[trim scaffold]

Well for me, since Team Cherry isn't a big corporation they have all the free will in making decisions on what to put into the game, so in a way I'm not worried

[mortal grove]

i know somewhere out there someone will go "wtf silksonng do not have (insert mechanic)"

[summer kindle]

no mouse, no aiming, no reason to play

[supple lion]

team cherry has announced SS will be a flappy bird clone set to release for the android

[summer kindle]

POG

[trim scaffold]

Flappy knight lol

[mortal grove]

silksong haves no kart minigame bad game, didnt live up to hype

[rapid topaz]

actually, if they announced the game way more later, the feeling of waiting would be shorter. but technically they would have take the same time to dev the game

it feels long because it was announced in 2019 but I doubt at this time they were far into developpement

[trim scaffold]

One thing for sure is that...in a way, they still maintain some level of difficulty just like in HK xD

The feeling of dying a lot, losing a lot of times in boss fights just to learn patterns etc.

[supple lion]

team cherry should announce SS as cancelled, then in a year or two when its finished it will take everyone by surprize and people wont complain about long development since they thought it was cancelled

[round falcon]

And the feeling of getting lost in the world

[trim scaffold]

^this too

[rapid topaz]

such a pro strat

(joking)

[supple lion]

im not joking

[trim scaffold]

Because after you overcome all that it all feels soo good

[summer kindle]

also that graig got possessed by the spirit of silksong past and should not be trusted

[trim scaffold]

Wonder what's gonna be Path of Pain's equivalent in Silksong lol

[summer kindle]

osu

[supple lion]

road of rage

[trim scaffold]

The final test in that is playing Osu like song

[mortal grove]

[supple lion]

[round falcon]

[summer kindle]

the final boss is osu mania hornet theme

controller players are fucked i guess

[trim scaffold]

And keyboards

[summer kindle]

nahh they have a chance at least

[supple lion]

good thing i play hollow knight exclusively on mobile

[summer kindle]

hell yeah

[trim scaffold]

Lol break your screen

[mortal grove]

les go

[supple lion]

Lurien deserved everything that happended. thats what he gets for inventing watcher knights

[mortal grove]

NO

[trim scaffold]

Poor Lurien

[summer kindle]

lurien was just a simp

[mortal grove]

i mean hes like a portable umbrella how can you not like him

[supple lion]

lurien did have a simp in his room

[mortal grove]

i mean hes a living umbrella, umbrellas are already portable

[jolly jasper]

sorry to but in but according to steam, both hollow knight and silksong have 9 gb of space needed to run. Therefore does that mean that we will get more dlcs after

[mortal grove]

a cool simp

[summer kindle]

i like staying out in the rain also he's an umbrella the size of my self esteem

[trim scaffold]

Whoa really? Hmmm

[summer kindle]

would work for dolls but not anything bigger than a baby kitten

[mortal grove]

okay okay but hes still an umbrella

[trim scaffold]

Lol what type of bug (other than being an umbrella) is Lurien anyway

[supple lion]

maybe SS is just a lot bigger in size

[summer kindle]

simp

[jolly jasper]

he is simply void

[mortal grove]

who knows maybe your as tall as a baby kitten

[supple lion]

just like hornet

[summer kindle]

also we didn't get dlcs, the content pack stuff was meant to be in the game when it was released iirc

[jolly jasper]

so you have chosen death

[trim scaffold]

Uh oh

[mortal grove]

maybe? i hope they make paid dlcs

[jolly jasper]

actually a better solution is to get mossbag to just make a 10 hour version

[summer kindle]

why didn't they store the radiance in him instead then

[mortal grove]

he was simply too good for the radiance

[trim scaffold]

Because Lurien has feelings lol he a simp

[supple lion]

they stoopid. the king just wanted an excuse to have a son. who he could then lock up forever cause he a bad father

[solar summit]

Than why didn’t they store radiance in collecter

[trim scaffold]

Because Collector is crazy

[summer kindle]

because collector sucks

[mortal grove]

the collector has a will i think?

[supple lion]

why didnt collector just put radiance in a jar?

[jolly jasper]

the collector simply got bored

[trim scaffold]

Yes it has the fact that you can dream nail and read its thoughts

[summer kindle]

you can't put te sun in a jar

[mortal grove]

how

[solar summit]

All these questions that we’ll never get the answer to

[mortal grove]

i mean he already jails little devils wouldnt the radiance be too much already

[supple lion]

no ones ever tried doe. could work

[summer kindle]

why did the knight fight the radiance if they could've gotten a billion lions to do it instead

[worldly dune]

Ikr

[solar summit]

Why didn’t grubfather just eat collector when he came to steal grubs

[supple lion]

why didnt hollow knight just fight radiance at night?

[trim scaffold]

Haha guess silksong will sorta kinda answer where Elder Hu originally came from I mean his appearance kinda looks like the bugs you see in the trailer

[worldly dune]

Too voring ngl

[summer kindle]

because collector is void and grubfather knew he needed to help the grubs grow

instead of letting them die

[mortal grove]

imagine the grubs were actually evil the entire time

[supple lion]

someone should call the CPS on grubfather,

[trim scaffold]

Lol is mossbag even in this server

[mortal grove]

i really hope fleas are evil

[trim scaffold]

Lmao same thing on what I was thinking xD

[mortal grove]

just so i can have justified hate for them

[summer kindle]

meeemamamow actually means fuck you, i am going to [DATA EXPUNGED]

[mortal grove]

the grubs secretly curse at you when you leave them trapped in a jar

[supple lion]

the collextor was trynna protect us from this great evil, and we killed him

[trim scaffold]

Being a father in HK really sucks lol

[summer kindle]

ikr

[supple lion]

#justiceforthecollector

[summer kindle]

burn the father feed the chile

CHILE

[supple lion]

send the grubs on a pleasant vacation to chile to

[ivory comet]

Hornet is made of void

[trim scaffold]

Grubfather eats children just so he can become a cocoon for his children
Grimm is killed so his child will grow
Pale king is...well you know xD

[summer kindle]

to feed it

[mortal grove]

the pale king was a good father 🧍‍♂️

[supple lion]

pale king stayed inside gaming instead of caring for his kids and kingdoms, thats why hes pale and no one ever sees him

[summer kindle]

white palace theme plays with buzzsaws and spikes in the background broken up by the occasional pogo, monarch wings and damage / death sound

[round falcon]

don't forget grimmchild

[summer kindle]

nyaaah

nyah

[trim scaffold]

Nyaah means "you're fcked" when you're about to fight NKG

[mortal grove]

okay but what if i banished the troupe

[round falcon]

grimm won't have to pay child support

[trim scaffold]

RIP Grimmchild
Though I wish there were added dream nail dialogue in Godhome when you fight NKG again when you banish the troupe

[undone locust]

he does he says OUR child

[round falcon]

...frick

[trim scaffold]

Like "...traitor" or something like that

[undone locust]

or grimm is a communist

[ivory comet]

I think... we have to kill him to finish the test

[trim scaffold]

RIP

[summer kindle]

if grimm won't pay child support

[trim scaffold]

Taken out of context that sounds wrong lmao

[summer kindle]

we know who has to do it

[supple lion]

grimm killed himself to avoid paying child support confirmed

[trim scaffold]

Especially when he says "Look here how our child has grown. Nourished and strengthened by the heat of our passionate dance."
Taken out of context

[summer kindle]

UUUUUHHHH

[undone locust]

Taken out of context is me with my friends in a nutshell

[summer kindle]

yeah

[summer kindle]

i am going to say that to my cat

[trim scaffold]

"passionate dance" yeah xD yeah it's a totally normal dance lol

[mortal grove]

grimm and the knight absolutely killing it on the dance floor

[supple lion]

grimm passionately dances on ur grave

[jolly jasper]

is it like that meme where the guy is peace signing over a grave

[trim scaffold]

More like the coffin dance

[jolly jasper]

but its a picture of grimm over a shade?

[undone locust]

would be worse if it was a steelsoul run

[jolly jasper]

wait so we have grimm and brumm holding the front and the others holding the back?

[trim scaffold]

Yep having a passionate dance

[summer kindle]

mhm

while the knight's body morphs into grimmchild

[undone locust]

if i die i wanna have the image of a HK shade on my gravestone

[supple lion]

someone should call CPS on grimm, he can't just passionately dance infront of the children, its very inapropriate

[undone locust]

where the grimm knight skin comes from

[mortal grove]

more like the steel soul death screen

[jolly jasper]

no we should get divine sentenced

[trim scaffold]

Divine gets sentenced for eating someone lol

[round falcon]

AND stealing our geo

[supple lion]

nothing wrong with a bit of casual cannibalism

[mortal grove]

when divine eats someone its considered illegal but when the city of tears folk do it its okay

[undone locust]

COT didnt have a choice

[trim scaffold]

I like to think that when you fight Grimm/NKG in Godhome, grimmchild is just watching along with the audience while the Knight is like "look child this is how you were made"

[worldly dune]

Yall mf talking about hk in ss chat

[jolly jasper]

where do you find the room again i forgot

[trim scaffold]

If divine eats the knight isn't she technically eating void as well lol

[worldly dune]

Doesnt void kill you when touched by flesh

[jolly jasper]

she uses some grimm bs

[trim scaffold]

I think Brumm is the only one with a well functioning lungs

[undone locust]

accurate

[mortal grove]

now i am hungry

[jolly jasper]

for some fire?

[mortal grove]

yeah sure

[supple lion]

you're fired

[jolly jasper]

pun intended?

[mortal grove]

[supple lion]

no, you're actually just fired. go pack your stuff

[mortal grove]

but why

[pallid flare]

why not

[mortal grove]

thats not very nice

i thought you were nice pyro

[rapid topaz]

They are in France

I guess

[pallid flare]

i am no longer nice, too many silknevers

[jolly jasper]

neversong

[hearty tendon]

once pyro o reach 100 he's never the same person again

[jolly jasper]

like broken vessel

[mortal grove]

redemption arc when

[pallid flare]

soon enough >:(

[jolly jasper]

or maybe never

because where there are silksong believers there will always be silknevers

[mortal grove]

did i cause this a little bit because i kept saying tomorrow whenever you asked for dog picture

[worldly dune]

Silk spawners

[pallid flare]

yes, all your fault

this all wouldn't've happened if i had the dog pic

[mortal grove]

i have a dog pic let me find it

give me 5 minutes

[bleak scarab]

dog pic when

[fleet temple]

dog pic is the new silksong now

[bleak scarab]

yes

[fleet temple]

silksong when, more like dog pic when

[mortal grove]

sorry dog is very angry at me

[trim scaffold]

I just came back and now I see dog pic lol

And now it's ded

[raven minnow]

Im now expecting the dog to take over @mortal grove and just say something like : I have killed master, i am master now, you fools thought you could take a picture of me, but to do that the only way is that i get verified on twitter so ill have to do a face reveal

[ember geode]

The dog pic was never published, as pyros sanity went downhill alarmingly quick

[trim scaffold]

How many people have gone downhill while waiting for Silksong

[bleak scarab]

Pyro has descended into insanity now unfortunately

[fleet temple]

This entire channel has gone downhill because of ss

[trim scaffold]

Once ss is released we'll all look back at all of this and laugh it off

[fleet temple]

I think once silksong releases then It'll take me a couple days to process that silksong is actually out

[bleak scarab]

same

[worldly dune]

Same

[trim scaffold]

I could imagine people hyperventilating at the fact that it actually came out (yes that includes me xD)

[rapid topaz]

[worldly dune]

probs would just say ss released? Cool and get money for it or prepare some before its release

[trim scaffold]

Even just the announcement of the release date

[vague prawn]

I wonder if they are going to work on Hollow Knight franchise again after SS cause it seems that they might want to take a huge break of it forever xD

7 years working on that brand

[trim scaffold]

Probably

[tawdry valley]

They’ve already mentioned they have ideas for things outside the HK universe

[opaque sigil]

They made a comment that they may someday return to the HK franchise, but their next project won't be in it

[rancid crow]

mornin

[rigid bramble]

Afternoon

[hearty tendon]

Calling it, tomb cat 2

[worldly bolt]

if

[coarse leaf]

So uh, any updates?

[trim scaffold]

It will be released lol

I believe xD

[fleet temple]

honeslty I don't get how people are unironically changing once to if

[worldly dune]

15 dollars woo

[trim estuary]

?spspspsp

[thin zephyr]

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

[trim scaffold]

I'm already used to waiting I mean we did wait for KH3 for 10+ years (and it ended in a disappointment but point is it was released)

[worldly bolt]

It was ironic

[coarse leaf]

Its not true though, so many updates have not been posted in hk announcments

[fleet temple]

I know, I'm referring to the fact that there are people who do actually think that

[trim scaffold]

Breath of the Wild took 7 years I think and Omori took 6 years. Point is, games take time.

[trim estuary]

All actual and legitimate news is shared in #hk-announcements

[vocal orchid]

https://c.tenor.com/gLfB4jK5IMIAAAAM/the-cat-in-the-hat-youre-not-just-wrong.gif

[trim scaffold]

And people are gonna get mad and say the game felt rushed and stuff if released too early

There's no pleasing people xD

[coarse leaf]

When small updates are given nothing is written in hk announcements, only big announcments are gonna be there, the last ss update was the edge magazine

Its useless

[opaque sigil]

That was the last update

[hollow terrace]

Because we don’t usually pin rumors or post rumors in #hk-announcements

[opaque sigil]

(thank god)

[trim scaffold]

What we need are real announcements from Team Cherry themselves

[coarse leaf]

Well what about leth saying the game development goes smoothly?
It is an update

[opaque sigil]

No it isn't

[trim scaffold]

Not fake rumors

[opaque sigil]

Development going smoothly is implicit

[pallid flare]

jäger never delivered on the dog pic, did they

[trim scaffold]

I just say, let Team Cherry take their time I mean it's only a few years cmon

[pallid flare]

time's money

and we don't have any

[trim scaffold]

Making games isn't magic either

[coarse leaf]

Nobody said it is

[solar summit]

I mean cmon it’s only been like 3 years, let them take thier time

[shell yacht]

97 years

[serene patrol]

no news tommorow, but today for sure

[solar summit]

Feels like it

[trim scaffold]

Exactly what I said lmao

I'll always remember KH3 that got released 10 years later

[solar summit]

They’re 100% gonna release it in February so if it isn’t now it’s next February

[trim scaffold]

And we waited since 2009

[serene patrol]

i think 2024 is a safe bet

[trim estuary]

2024 is impossible

[solar summit]

I think we should expect 2025 so we’re all releaved when it’s earlier

[serene patrol]

and im being serious ... if the game really expanded bigger than they expected it actually might take them longer ? maybe?

[serene patrol]

yea or 2025

[opaque sigil]

It could

[worldly bolt]

Plot twist, it's ready and they will release it in 2022

[serene patrol]

i dont think its releasing in the next 2 years

[trim scaffold]

Ok how many years did it take for HK to be released

[opaque sigil]

It could

[serene patrol]

yea definitely

[ocean mulch]

Yeah guys SS in 4 years let's lower our expectations

[trim estuary]

Guys they said it was coming out before crowsworn, so not after 2023

[opaque sigil]

That wasn't a concrete statement, it was a guess

[serene patrol]

it was an estimate tho

[opaque sigil]

I'm quite certain Leth was not trying to confirm a 2023 release at latest

[ocean mulch]

Seriously though, SS 2022

[trim scaffold]

That's a maybe

[trim estuary]

Leth said they are going to finish before crowsworn

[worldly bolt]

Heck's Crowsworn? For those who don't follow news?

[serene patrol]

or together as a bundle??? with crowsworn???

poggers

[trim estuary]

[serene patrol]

[opaque sigil]

#sk-discussion message

[pallid flare]

it might

like all things, its one big "maybe"

[worldly bolt]

I guess I'll google it up

[serene patrol]

they'll release as a bundle guys

[trim scaffold]

Just as long as they release it idk when I'm happy xD

[serene patrol]

[coarse leaf]

Its so cool leth actually came to ss discussion yooooo

[worldly bolt]

The day after you die

[serene patrol]

leth hangs around here pretty often

[trim estuary]

Leth and Graig come here pretty often

[opaque sigil]

You've gotta see that this:

Guys they said it was coming out before crowsworn, so not after 2023
is kinda unreasonable to derive from this:
Well... Silksong is much further along than Crowsworn. I don’t think Crowsworn will come out first. =]

[serene patrol]

we actually talked some few times in the lobby

[trim estuary]

He said it on the podcast/interview thing too

[trim scaffold]

Well unless Team Cherry decides to pull a Yandere Dev on us lolol

[opaque sigil]

And?

[serene patrol]

yandere dev lmao

[coarse leaf]

Cherry browser

[opaque sigil]

Leth's not a dev on either game, he's just making a guess from observation. Do I think he's wrong? No. Do I think it's reasonable to take that guess as a solid statement that 2024 is impossible? Hell no

[coarse leaf]

Anyone seen the new cherry gx?

[serene patrol]

even then crowsworn put 2023 as a placeholder correct?

[opaque sigil]

afaik mongoose rodeo actually intends to finish by 2023

[worldly bolt]

Yandev might be a shit storm, but somehow it will be finished doubt it will be published tho

[serene patrol]

hmm okay if that goes well then SS 2022/2023

[opaque sigil]

[coarse leaf]

Tbh crowsworn looks awesome, it looks as 3/5 the fun i think ill have in ss

[serene patrol]

ngl bro , im more excited forr crowsworn now

[coarse leaf]

Crowsworn looks like ss from afar lol

[trim estuary]

Us Americans are gonna love crowsworn especially

[serene patrol]

more than silksong for some reason ... cuz im a traitor

[pallid flare]

my loyality stays with silksong

[coarse leaf]

Red coat, scythe, flying guns yknow?

[worldly bolt]

So I googled it since no one answered, Crowsworn is essentially HK plague doctor reskin

[opaque sigil]

Crowsworn is also a 2d metroidvania

[serene patrol]

why only americans ?

[coarse leaf]

Amen

[trim estuary]

No there’s guns

[serene patrol]

ahhh the guns

[trim scaffold]

RIP the rest of the world

[opaque sigil]

It may be inspired by HK but calling it a reskin is a tad unfair

[worldly bolt]

Magic, guns, pot-ah-to, pot-ay-to

[serene patrol]

of course it is ....

Maybe don't allude to nsfw shit

[trim estuary]

[night hull]

The game is awsome buy it rn

[trim estuary]

What’s an Ender Lillies

[worldly bolt]

Bible Discussion, Study, M-something

[serene patrol]

lillies that are ending something

[trim scaffold]

Another metroidvania

[trim estuary]

Uh oh

[night hull]

One of best games i played

[marsh ibex]

@worldly bolt just don’t be a weirdo

[worldly bolt]

That's.... A lot to ask, ngl, gonna do my best

[serene patrol]

uh oh

[trim scaffold]

I see I have seen gameplays about it and art looks gorgeous too

[night hull]

It is

I am playing thru right now actually

[worldly bolt]

Talking about other Metroidvania, should I preorder Metroid Dread?

[serene patrol]

already did

[trim estuary]

Yes

[serene patrol]

excited af for it

[night hull]

But awsome so far

[trim estuary]

I go to a different state the day my copy arrives

[worldly bolt]

I mean, I want too, but I already have pre ordered 2 games recently and I need to stop spending

[trim estuary]

Oh that game

[serene patrol]

why'd u leave home ? ...

[trim estuary]

Looks cool

[serene patrol]

dont u wanna BE home to play ?

[trim estuary]

I have no choice

[serene patrol]

i feel u man ...

[worldly bolt]

^

[trim scaffold]

yep been after the game so once I get my pay I will buy it

[night hull]

Nice

[serene patrol]

nice

[worldly bolt]

My internship starts at 7 am, well in my case, cuz the first bus is at 5:30 am... I so wish I'd be home to game rn

[serene patrol]

goodluck with the internship. i remember those days

[trim scaffold]

hahaha internship....good times

[worldly bolt]

It's paid tho, so I'm good

[trim scaffold]

so is thesis god

[serene patrol]

thats good ... i wasnt paid but it was a good experience

[worldly bolt]

Well paid too, over 20 (CAD) an hour

[serene patrol]

oof thats pretty good for an internship

[trim scaffold]

wow I was....never paid during my internship damn

you're lucky

[worldly bolt]

Ours are mandatorily paid, supposedly if we don't get paid, we can't put it in a CV as professional experience

[serene patrol]

really? is that a Canadian law?

[worldly bolt]

Nope

Engineering internship are the only ones I know of that are paid

[serene patrol]

Well I hope your internship goes well

[trim scaffold]

oh that explains it...IT never gets paid lol

[serene patrol]

[trim scaffold]

yep and graduate soon

[worldly bolt]

According to my uni, the average for the first internship is 19.60$/hr and for the last it's 21.60$/hr
I'm in between so I'm not gonna complain

[trim scaffold]

here in asia u suffer lol jk it depends on the country I guess

[worldly bolt]

Still not sure I would be able to wake up at 4:45 am and go sleep around 9 pm if it wasn't paid... I'm not a morning person

[trim scaffold]

you just get used to it

[worldly bolt]

Saddly

[trim scaffold]

night shifts are fun xD

but yeah be aware of your surroundings is one thing you have to worry about

[worldly bolt]

Especially here... Construction site

[trim scaffold]

we're getting super off topic now xD

[worldly bolt]

Yea

[coarse leaf]

The worst thing is playing on pc and then you hear a machinegun drilling into the earth

[worldly bolt]

And I gotta go back to work

[trim scaffold]

good luck and have a nice day/night

[coarse leaf]

Or metal cutting sounds, those suck at construction

[coarse leaf]

Dam bro thats 4 times more then minimal wage

[pallid flare]

my internship is going to be unpaid and you're getting 20$/hr

[worldly bolt]

Not herr, we're almost at 13

[trim scaffold]

you all move to where Lua Grimm works lol

[worldly bolt]

Canada

[pallid flare]

big commitment but it's going to be worth

[trim scaffold]

damn that's it I'm moving to Canada xD

[worldly bolt]

Well different provinces have different minimum wages

If you wanna go in Nunavut, where no one wants to go, minimum wage is 16 an hour

13.50 where I live apparently

Lowest is 11.45 in Saskatchewan but will apparently raise to 11.81 tomorrow

We do have higher taxes tho... But free healthcare

[trim scaffold]

maaan healthcare

that's one thing here where I'm from it gets ignored

[worldly bolt]

If it means some kid with cancer can get treatment or an elderly can get a hip replacement, than fine by me

[trim scaffold]

man you're lucky I really wish you luck on your internship

[worldly bolt]

Thanks, good luck with Silk Song release

[trim scaffold]

I still believe lol

[opaque sigil]

If only the US thought that way

[tropic crow]

Yoooo turns out I’m British AND Australian

I never knew but my mum claimed British citizenship for me when I was a kid

ez now I’m in same country as Hornet

[trim estuary]

I wish

[tropic crow]

oh yeah US gotta pay tons for healthcare sucks to be you

Guess if you get cancer your life really IS over huh

Even if you push through you probably gonna have debts to pay

[trim estuary]

what

[tropic crow]

average british man vs average Australia enjoyer

I’m a dual citizen so I can make fun of both

Average Australian man vs average British enjoyer

[trim estuary]

Ok

Hey just wondering do you have to walk upside down to combat the already upside down floor

[tropic crow]

yeah my mum told me I was a dual citizen the other day I never knew

[tropic crow]

no you have to accept the terms and conditions of the upside down floor and walk normally

[trim estuary]

Oh okay

[tropic crow]

Wait was than an Australia upside down joke

I mean my answer still the same

[trim estuary]

[tropic crow]

We just tell the floor to fuck off and ask for some help from our friend gravity and it’s fine

I don’t know why people think Australians are upside down though

At least they’re not flat earthers

[trim estuary]

Yeah

We all know the truth right

That the earth is shaped like a dinosaur (specifically velociraptor)

[opaque sigil]

smh it isn't shaped like a velociraptor it is a velociraptor, get your facts straight

[trim estuary]

Wait what

[formal karma]

.......

[trim estuary]

The DES doesn’t say anything about this

[opaque sigil]

Duh they're in on it

[trim estuary]

The Dinosaur Earth Society is concealing the fact that the earth is a dinosaur?

[opaque sigil]

Yeah they want you to think it's only shaped like one

[coarse leaf]

most sane ss discussion participant

[opaque sigil]

Man has really quickly become one of my most used emotes, it just conveys pain so well

How... it looks nothing like a vaporeon

[trim estuary]

I’m not seeing it

[shell yacht]

its clearly a midget centaur

[opaque sigil]

You heard it here first, vaporeon looks like a guy on a horse

[trim estuary]

I’m seeing it

[opaque sigil]

So you're describing the color blue

[trim scaffold]

Hey wait, isn't that Marth?

[opaque sigil]

No

[trim scaffold]

Looks like him but okay

[proud vale]

I definitely see Zote on the top of the head

He's the brains of the operation

[mortal grove]

happy october silksong discussion

[opaque sigil]

Still 12 hours out for me, but happy october to you as well

[mortal grove]

nvm i jist realized time zones exost

[trim scaffold]

Well it's 12 midnight here for me so yeah happy october

[fiery coral]

2 hours and 22 minutes left here

well 21 now

[marsh ibex]

Shut up fatty

[fiery coral]

okay weeb

[mortal grove]

awww crap things are heating up in staff chat

[shell yacht]

i need a spooky pfp still, who do i need to stab to get it

[fiery coral]

Joker

[languid linden]

Nish in main? Impossible

[cosmic widget]

No silksong news today but tomorrow for sure

[mortal grove]

tag yourself

[waxen agate]

Having a really rough week at work anything positive happen regarding this game recently

Or am I doomed to be sad all week

[cosmic widget]

:(

[mortal grove]

dont worry we'll be getting news before 2022

[hazy dome]

About the inktober , does it have prizes?

[opaque sigil]

Not to my knowledge

afaik it's just a bunch of prompts, not a competition or anything

[hazy dome]

Ahh got it

[marsh ibex]

You get server owner

[waxen agate]

Maybe game awards, December 7th we’ll hear something

[cosmic widget]

Team cherry probably being like “mmmmmm our polished diamond of a game needs more polish”

[waxen agate]

I’m all for that honestly, just the anticipation at this point is killing me ha, and I need a reason to pick my switch up again

[opaque sigil]

Can't have too much polish

[cosmic widget]

Very true

[waxen agate]

Hopefully we get it first half 2022

[silver oak]

I think a lot of people underestimate how long it would take 3 people to make a game

"It's already been three years, just release the game" Do you know how long game development takes?

[warm bone]

Yummy polish

[silver oak]

And how much harder it is with such a limited team?

[pallid flare]

but me want silksong

you don't understand how hard it is to wait 3 years!!! >:(

[cosmic widget]

Two people programming also takes a long ass time since you have to write for every little thing and make sure it all works

[opaque sigil]

I mean tbf we have heard some pretty impressive things regarding how quickly they work but yeah, your point definitely stands

[silver oak]

Even if they're the fastest developers ever (which they're not) it still takes a long time to make something

[cosmic widget]

Even just jumping involves programming the sound, input, jumping high and low, how fast you drop, and how far you jump

[silver oak]

If we're basing it entirely off of HK dev time, we're well within the time frame

And I would bet that Silksong will take longer

Yes they have more experience and a place to base the game off of, yes they don't have to switch engines, but from what it sounds like not only will the game be bigger, but their standards of quality have gone way, way up from HK, where they were already pretty high

[opaque sigil]

I mean yeah, they've said as much explicitly

[silver oak]

Even just comparing EDGE screenshots will show you that

[opaque sigil]

our intent is always to evoke the feeling of exploring a vast, surprising new world; one that matches (or exceeds) the scale and diversity of the original game.

[silver oak]

Even looking at the E3 footage from 2 YEARS AGO will show you that

I feel like a lot of the emotes in the announcement aren't new?

Like or

[opaque sigil]

Maybe they're new since the last announcement?

[silver oak]

Yeah that's probably it

I always assumed they just added them in batches with each announcement but that makes more sense

[tame comet]

I found your reason, it's called Metroid Dread

[chilly nexus]

I'm nervous about how long SS will take for the first playthrough, my first HK was 107% and 50 hours

[opaque sigil]

I mean 100%ing it'll probably take a while

[cunning geode]

you'll have to factor in that you are now more experienced with Hollow Knight and might do some things faster in Silksong

[opaque sigil]

Depends on how well HK skill and knowledge will really translate into SS, but sure

[cunning geode]

exploration too

[opaque sigil]

It's hard to say how long a game takes, really, even moreso a game where relatively little may be actually strictly required to "finish" it

[waxen agate]

Eh, tbh i was never into the Aesthetic of Metroid , maybe ill give it a shot though.

[tropic dawn]

Well, it will definitely be easier to play it having played HK first, but Hornet plays differently than the knight.

[opaque sigil]

Well yes but how much easier is in question

[tropic dawn]

(Not that anyone here doesn't know that, of course.)

[opaque sigil]

A lot of HK instincts won't apply and could even be harmful

Poor silk management, wasted healing, wasted opportunities for healing, fumbled downstrikes, all of these could result from reasonable instincts in HK

Yeah, I've played enough HK that I can even navigate deepnest reasonably

[alpine violet]

Can we please get some damn info already?

[opaque sigil]

We have. On many occasions

[pallid flare]

why are you asking us

[hazy dome]

Its like no nut november but its full 3 years so its gonna worth the wait

[alpine violet]

You know what I mean. Stop acting dumb.

[nimble radish]

info in general? sure, emperor penguins, the largest species of penguin, can grow to heights of around 1.3m

[opaque sigil]

Damn that's big

[nova briar]

silksong when im gonna kms

[alpine violet]

Team Cherry should atleast let the fans know when the next info or trailer will be released.

[opaque sigil]

They probably don't know that or want it to be a surprise

[pallid flare]

again

why are you asking us??

[opaque sigil]

idk either looking for sympathy or attention, either way not super productive

[shut tree]

eyy is it out yet?

[thin zephyr]

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

[pallid flare]

?spspspspspspp

[manic zephyr]

nope

[shut tree]

welp ill wait another year then lmao

[alpine violet]

Do you know how to get in contact with the devs?

[pallid flare]

yes

[opaque sigil]

Check the website

[pallid flare]

you can't

[opaque sigil]

I mean you can but Leth'll just ignore it like all the other spam

[pallid flare]

you might be part of the reason why you can't

[serene patrol]

This tho

They busy guys

[opaque sigil]

Turns out making a big game with three people tends to monopolize your time

[serene patrol]

Theyre finishing a game thats gonna be goty 2023

[pallid flare]

what's asking them "when's silksong" gonna do

[opaque sigil]

If it comes out in 2023, maybe

[alpine violet]

Yet guys like Toby Fox always interact with the fans

[pallid flare]

did he?

[opaque sigil]

Toby Fox isn't team cherry, who cares what he does

[pallid flare]

he wasn't even that vocal

[cunning geode]

there was one user who thought he was. i cant tell if they were an expert troll or genuine

[opaque sigil]

Can't possibly be that stupid... right?

[pallid flare]

people are naive tammo

[serene patrol]

I dunno ... some people can i guess

[mystic pewter]

Goty 2022

[opaque sigil]

That's not naive that's just insane. The devs of each game are publicly available knowledge

[coarse leaf]

Why would they do that.

[alpine violet]

Yep, he's more competent.

[pallid flare]

wtf

[serene patrol]

[coarse leaf]

Aight its a troll im out

[pallid flare]

you're trolling right

[opaque sigil]

Eh, HK imo is a better game than undertale, so I'd say TC's better

[cunning geode]

i dont think its a good idea to come in here and say the devs are dumb

its just not gonna end well no matter your intentions

[pallid flare]

it isn't

[opaque sigil]

Probably a troll, yeah

[serene patrol]

Yes wombat is right

[pallid flare]

it's incredible how much toby did with just gamemaker

[cunning geode]

like... Toby Fox is awesome. TC is awesome too

[pallid flare]

that stuff is primitive

[cunning geode]

Fearless Toby Fox

[opaque sigil]

Fair enough, idk much about the circumstances of undertale's development

[serene patrol]

One day a kid will be able to make a game with microsoft word

[opaque sigil]

I mean you could make a cya novel

[pallid flare]

yeah he even made the entire soundtrack at that

[alpine violet]

Critisizm equals trolling now?

[serene patrol]

Yessirrrr

[cunning geode]

some people here think it does

which is odd tbh

[serene patrol]

Wheres ma popcorn imma lurk in here

[coarse leaf]

criticism am I right

[pallid flare]

ooh we doing this again

[opaque sigil]

It's in how you do it. If you think that's constructive criticism, you need to reevaluate

[serene patrol]

[cunning geode]

thats not popcorn

[pallid flare]

the fuck is "i want news" going to do mate

seriously what do you want from us

[opaque sigil]

Anyways I gtg, have fun with this

[alpine violet]

How Team Cherry interacts with the community.

[serene patrol]

Thanks wombat

[pallid flare]

they got a game to develop

you may even say it does the opposite

[chilly nexus]

go make art with the new event in #server-announcements !

[serene patrol]

Ay man the ball's in their court. All they ask us is wait.

[alpine violet]

Plenty of devs interact with fans whilst making their games.

[pallid flare]

and plenty of others don't

[serene patrol]

There's no obligation tho

[pallid flare]

such is life

[serene patrol]

Its not written anywhere

[chilly nexus]

What we want from TC, and what TC wants to give us, are allowed to be 2 different things

[coarse leaf]

What exactly do you want team cherry to do? Like, how should they interact with the community in your opinion?

[frank marten]

id say they should be different cuz meeting the expectations of everyone is impossible

[pallid flare]

I honestly wish they would give us something but what'cha gonna do

complain? what's that going to accomplish?

[chilly nexus]

I think they're as surprised as we are that it's taking so long tbh :p

hitting 167 enemies... not 1... but 2 years ago

[alpine violet]

They can atleast tweet out progress updates every now and then. Maybe answer some questions from fans.

[pallid flare]

they could, yes

[cunning geode]

They did respond to a backer on Kickstarter at one point

[pallid flare]

but they aren't and that's fine

[cunning geode]

from the looks of it their strategy recently has been to just keep working on the game and not spend much time on sharing info

[coarse leaf]

What do you want with progress updates? Your either going to get "yeah were still working on it" or they'll show things that might not even make it into the final game and then people will be pissed at them for that

[chilly nexus]

if we assume they work linearly, that means we're at 320 enemies now

[pallid flare]

answering questions takes quite a bit of time as well

[serene patrol]

Dont worry man ... as they say.... no news tomorrow but today for sure

[alpine violet]

Maybe show small new bits of the game every now and then.

[nimble radish]

100 more enemies and the game will be ready for release

[chilly nexus]

TC works super fluidly, so it's likely they'll also do something early, then later on realize they want to do something entierly different. If they tell us too much and get our hopes up about something, then suddenly they can't make those changes (at least, not without backlash)

[frank marten]

if you say the game is about 80% done, then something happens and you have to redo a bunch of things, people will be mad because you said that it was close to done, updates can be a blessing and a curse

[mortal grove]

Are you the same guy that got pissed on indie world

[pallid flare]

if you show people something that will get cut then they're gonna get mad

[serene patrol]

I thought we all are...

[coarse leaf]

As I said, if they do that and then that doesn't get into the actual finished game, People will get mad about it

[cunning geode]

did you see the Silksong portion of Edge Magazine, Mike?

[chilly nexus]

Things to remember: we've seen a large number of areas, a decent number of bosses and enemies, and can deduce how nearly the entirety of the tool and combat system in SS will work. That's a lot!

really, the only things we haven't seen much of are the map, silksoul mode, and how hornet tracks quests, but those are best left blind

[alpine violet]

Then don't cut it?

[coarse leaf]

Oh come on

[alpine violet]

No.

[pallid flare]

do you know how game development works?

[cunning geode]

ah

[chilly nexus]

cutting it might be what's best for the game down the line. you can't really control that

[frank marten]

who could've guessed that they are showing only what they want to and things that wont hurt a players experience

[chilly nexus]

ye exactly

[serene patrol]

[pallid flare]

mike did you ever work on a project?

[frank marten]

the "dont do it then" response, a classic

[cunning geode]

lets not escalate this

its really not something to get worked up over

[chilly nexus]

if you want more news, check ma lore doc link in name

doc for tools coming soon

[frank marten]

if that was for me sorry if thats what you got but that response is a classic

[alpine violet]

What magazine were you talking about Wombat? Is it online?

[cunning geode]

it was a physical/digital magazine that came out online over new years

[frank marten]

there is also the apwot interview

[cunning geode]

not sure if you can get it anymore but there is plenty of info on the silksong portion to be found online without buying the magazine

[frank marten]

dont know if its out tho

[pallid flare]

you might be able to get an online copy

[serene patrol]

Nvm i read stuff wrong

[cunning geode]

yeah no joke

[serene patrol]

GOTshamebell

[chilly nexus]

@alpine violet read ma doc^

[alpine violet]

Will do.

[chilly nexus]

ye you've got 5000+ words of lore and some screenshots in there :p

[serene patrol]

D:

[cunning geode]

i did say not to escalate this :/

[serene patrol]

[cunning geode]

dude

[frank marten]

calm down devout

[pallid flare]

mfw when hyperlink not blocked

[cunning geode]

[alpine violet]

Why not just link it in the first place?

[chilly nexus]

me on my bote:

[serene patrol]

Me on my bote:

[chilly nexus]

(you could've fairly easily googled "silksong magazine" tbh)

[pallid flare]

did you ban him

[frank marten]

yeh i was gonna aks if he was dealt with or did he deal with it himself

[serene patrol]

"And that kids ... is how i got a timeout in the hollow knight discord"

[frank marten]

all traces of him have been scrubbed clean

[serene patrol]

Sounds like a bounty ad

[frank marten]

and if you look at this stain, it has been scrubbed clean off thanks to the cleaning power of wombat

[serene patrol]

I actually pet a wombat ... speaking of wombats

[frank marten]

nice

[serene patrol]

Cute lil fuckers they are

wow big fella

chonkus badonkus

[gray current]

regarding the updates or what youd call it from TC, it would make sense that they were aware of what happend to no mans sky, aka too much info from, not a professional advertiser, and are doing the opposite

[pallid flare]

yea

[frank marten]

no bugs ground?

[alpine violet]

I just hope it's not coming out in like 2023.

[frank marten]

2022 max imo

[cunning geode]

why's that?

[frank marten]

like all of us, im pretty sure he just wants to play

[cunning geode]

thats a dumb reason to want a video game

just kidding

[serene patrol]

Its possible. Leth said crowsworn is releasing after silksong and they intend to finish it in 2023. So if crowsworn is released in december 2023 then silksong could just be in the november of that year

Sooooooooo

[frank marten]

man i want that league mmo thats coming out in like 15 years jus for the lore im used to dum reasons to get a game

[nimble radish]

silksong coming before crowsworn is more of a guess based on how much longer ss has been in development

like the crowsworn kickstarter was this year

[cunning geode]

i actually dont want video games to release so i can have fun. its actually because my main form of sustenance and nutrition is gained by photosynthesizing light from my screen when a video game is on

[serene patrol]

And actually touch grass

[cunning geode]

im allergic to grass

[serene patrol]

At least my teammates in apex told me to touch grass

[nimble radish]

have you tried sunlight, I feel like sunlight might be more effective
