[fiery coral]

it's a great battle-of-equals

[frank mist]

Ah so the chained ogre

[fiery coral]

the chained ogre is a significant roadblock for most yeah

[proud vale]

no. the fking samurai guy standing at the first gate

Ohhhhh really?

ah okay

Chained Ogre had me livid

[proud vale]

General Naomori Kawarada

[frank mist]

Unique what’s your favorite boss

[proud vale]

It basically just made me learn how the system works the hard way

[fiery coral]

in Sekiro? hm, tough question

||Inner Father|| (Orange don't click) is awesome, but I'm not sure if I should go with that or Genichiro, going by how much I enjoyed him on my first playthrough

||Sword Saint Isshin|| is amazing too, he's pretty high up for sure

[coarse leaf]

imagine if ss have a multiplayer mode

[analog lily]

that wouldn't really make any sense

[fiery coral]

push everyone else into the lava 😈

[coarse leaf]

like for fun

[fiery coral]

true but no harm in imagining, ha

[analog lily]

yeah true, though it wouldn't really match how SS would work, though SS mods would be there soon enough

[frank mist]

Never fought that one

[fiery coral]

@frank mist did you ||fight the bosses at the end of each of the three gauntlets||?

[coarse leaf]

yea like custom hornet

[fiery coral]

ah there you are

[worldly dune]

gotta love #sk-discussion

[analog lily]

on custom hornet skins, that would be pretty cool

[worldly dune]

more offtopic than #off-topic

[fiery coral]

did you play the game after the boss refight update was released

[frank mist]

What are ||gauntlets|| 😭

[fiery coral]

.

[frank mist]

Oh I didn’t know the update even added that much, I haven’t played since like 2020

[coarse leaf]

someone will definitely make a bee or wasp hornet

[analog lily]

that would be the best hornet skin by far

[coarse leaf]

bee hornet

[fiery coral]

play it, it adds boss refights, four boss rushes (they are much more forgiving than HK's Pantheons) ||and a new boss at the end of each of the first three||

long time lurker, just checking in since we're coming up on 2 years since the Team Cherry blog last updated:
still no new information about Silksong dev/release date right? i haven't missed anything?

[analog lily]

well apart from edge, APWOT magazine, and a guy finding out that ari is alive, not really

[coarse leaf]

silksong will be released in 67 years

[valid crag]

the Edge bit was nice, really enjoyed the extra peek at things, but i figured that was the case. thanks!

[analog lily]

oh yeah and there was a leak for a feb 1st release
though not confirmed obviously

[coarse leaf]

imagine if the little knight is the last boss

[analog lily]

imagining is fun
knowing the truth tells me that won't happen

[fiery coral]

[coarse leaf]

RIP little knight

[analog lily]

yeah, unless he somehow escaped the black egg in THK ending, though that would mean that ending is canon so...

[analog lily]

yeah, though all endings are canon, so like no clue

[tawdry valley]

There’s some garbage going on about a leaked February release date. This is the like the 4th 4chan “leak” though. And TCs dev cycle literally makes release date constraints unpredictable; even for TC themselves

Bro I thought hk-discussion was ss-discussion for a second... it was so active I was like wtf

[shell yacht]

freindly reminder that a more terrible possibility exists
theres a now unused body laying around for SL to use

[fiery coral]

well SL leaves Godhome into the Junk Pit soooo

the nailsmith's?

[shell yacht]

a body that fits

[olive bobcat]

Hey guys check out my custom Hornet skin

[mortal grove]

you know this got me wondering

is soul master just.... an orb? with no hands?

and now that i think about it he cant take off his cloak if he wanted to

[shell yacht]

his arms are preocupied holding onto his cape

since he goes from a S-XXXXL itd fall off ya know

[mortal grove]

Wow. Must have really small arms

[tawdry valley]

Shaw Master

[potent plover]

I'm pretty sure there are around 4 ( maybe 5 ) areas you can skip in hollow knight for the normal ending

I wonder if there will be any optional areas in silksong?

[fiery coral]

definitely

[potent plover]

You are no doubt right

No doubt silksong will be bigger too

[frigid ivy]

How many areas do you reckon

[coarse leaf]

90% bigger

jk

[potent plover]

maybe 17-20?

[coarse leaf]

wait

[potent plover]

Hollow knight had 15, 4 ( maybe 5 ) being optional

[coarse leaf]

bigger than minecraft

[potent plover]

I kinda feel like the vessel fragments in hk weren't that good, Do you all agree?

I wonder how we will get silk spool and weapon upgrades in silksong?

[coarse leaf]

i feel like moving around will be fun

idk about the weapons tho

[potent plover]

Hornet seems pretty agile

[potent plover]

wdym by that?

[coarse leaf]

like idk what kind of weapons she will use

[potent plover]

I mean the regular needle

like pale ore variants

If you know what I mean

[coarse leaf]

yea

[potent plover]

No doubt it will be fun to find upgrades

anyways gtg, cya!

cant you make some reals smh my head

[olive bobcat]

Ask Ari

[potent plover]

I love the brighter, more vibrant atmosphere and colour scheme silksong seems to be going for

makes sense because the kingdom is not dead like hallownest

[agile kelp]

its just in an injured state

[potent plover]

even greymoor has some kinda light themes

[agile kelp]

unlike hallownest which is like the somehow alive husk of what it used to be

[potent plover]

Yeah, hurt and damaged but not dead... Yet...

[agile kelp]

whatever hornet is doing in pharloom god i hope she doesnt screw over the place or vice versa

[potent plover]

She will probably end up doing something, Its just that we don't know what that something is...

[indigo pine]

wtf is that

[agile kelp]

soul master hornet

[low vapor]

silksong will be released on || never 🖕🖕🖕🖕 ||

[potent plover]

silksong will be released on ||PC and nintendo switch||

[young saffron]

is there any other game after silksong (legit question will there ever be one?) :

[copper knot]

silksong will be released on ||your mom||

this is an unhealthy amount of your mom

[fiery coral]

TC said they'd probably work on a new IP after Silksong, they're done with the HK universe for now

[crisp drift]

that moment when we're talking about the future of TC when Silksong is yet to be released

[coarse leaf]

what's TC?

[verbal ledge]

Team cherry

[coarse leaf]

oh

[noble hamlet]

Is this thing workin?

[cursive jetty]

Hello there!

[copper knot]

no its not :troll:

[noble hamlet]

I’m in an airport again - was checking the internet =]

[fiery coral]

Hello Leth

doing good?

[tall hinge]

good morning unique

[fiery coral]

good morning Pitta

[young saffron]

U can fly to my heart 😩

[ember geode]

Hi pitta and unique

[hushed wasp]

for you its a joke but my heart is open 😩

[ember geode]

Good to see both of ya

[young saffron]

😩

[willow sinew]

What's the deal... with airline food!

[cerulean sable]

ddo not fly into hearrts

you will be banned

[willow sinew]

What is the deal... with airline food

What IS the deal with airline food, anyway?

[tall hinge]

[noble hamlet]

I don’t eat airline food - just drink water on the plane

The hunger passes eventually

[willow sinew]

Oh I see I see... Water, unobstructed sunlight...

Leth is a plant, that answers at least 5 questions

[tall hinge]

there have been a few times when ive eaten airplane food and it actually tasted really good. we had like some rice with curry, but maybe my standards are just really low

[young saffron]

I personally love airplane food

Maybe its cause im starving on the plane so thats why thd food tastes rly good

[tall hinge]

probably

[copper knot]

airline food tastes good tho

[willow sinew]

Maybe if you're some sort of European, in America you ask for an in-flight meal and they give you a pack of pretzels with a side of cardboard, and it costs as much as our healthcare

[tall hinge]

ah yeah the good food is always on the european airlines

austrian airline food slaps

[noble hamlet]

On intl flights the food is… edible hehe

But there are so many preservatives in it I think it’s healthier to fast

[young saffron]

Do yall just get snacks and no meal like a sandwich or

[willow sinew]

Nah, they're just starting the embalming process early, don't worry about it

[noble hamlet]

[analog forge]

oh its leth

leth see whats happening here

Wait fuck i forgot all my leth puns

[neon talon]

not sure if the internet is working === try typing in ss-discussion

[willow sinew]

What programming language uses a triple =???

[neon talon]

there are some actually

[willow sinew]

Seriously 😨

[neon talon]

to indicate that its two objects which are not just the same value, but the exact same thing

[willow sinew]

Two objects that are... Okay explain it again, this time knowing that I can only program in C, and matlab

[analog forge]

i blown it, i've lost my list of leth puns right on the big day 😵‍💫

[tired lake]

Hello Leth

[neon talon]

two objects that are identical as in two variables that refer to the same object, and are not just equal values

[willow sinew]

Oh I gotcha, OOP.

Matlab and C are both procedural

[neon talon]

it's actually rarely useable in most programming languages, but the symbol itself means "absolute equality"

[willow sinew]

That's a deceptive name, because I hear that and think "immune to floating point error"

[iron spear]

Leth just casually starving himself on a plane

[willow sinew]

as god intended

[iron spear]

See what he does for you all???

[willow sinew]

Through his sacrifice, the hollow knight discord stands eternal

[iron spear]

Leth starved for your speedruns

[coarse leaf]

I'm Spanish I can confirm it's good

[hushed wasp]

you cant opress my love

i can

and i will 😎

[hushed wasp]

Okay you pile of lettuce

⚔️

[tall hinge]

[willow sinew]

Oh Graig, you'll get a kick out of this. We're using 6M HCl right now in one of our labs, and our instructor said "You don't have to use it under the fume hood if you don't want to, but be sure you breathe away from it if you don't."

[jolly isle]

Have a safe flight Leth ! Are you traveling for leisure or work

[iron spear]

Hehe well they are right but man HCL gas burns real bad when you breath it

I have done so from being lazy in the lab

[worldly dune]

What do you do on your free time

[iron spear]

Though 6M shouldn't be that concentrated

[fluid rock]

at least javascript/typescript are using this kind of equality tests

[willow sinew]

I would imagine so. I took off one of my calluses from some residue left on one of the bottles

[iron spear]

Once it's fuming... That's when you know... Use a fume hood lol

Oh actually just looked it up 6 M very concentrated lol

[willow sinew]

Keep in mind this is the same lab with this gem in their safety manual

[iron spear]

Pro tip

[willow sinew]

"Please try"

[fluid rock]

"don't die in our lab as it would be extremely tedious to clean"

[iron spear]

Lab best place to clean a corpse

[fluid rock]

are you talking from experience Graig ?

[worldly dune]

How do you know

[bleak scarab]

the cherries are talking

[willow sinew]

Safety is not exactly the number 1 priority around here. Miracle they haven't killed anyone yet. There's a cyanide gas storage shoved in the back somewhere that nobody uses anymore, but it's still active, and if it wears out it WILL flood the place.

[coarse leaf]

if you are bleeding badly pls get out of our lab immediately

[iron spear]

I've said too much

[neon talon]

because you have to keep it clean??

[hushed wasp]

[iron spear]

If you randomly Smell Almonds... Time to run

[bleak scarab]

But almonds taste good

[fluid rock]

cyanide ?

[hushed wasp]

This chat is scaring me

[iron spear]

While you still have ATP in your mitochondria to do so

[willow sinew]

TBF in your line of work I wouldn't be surprised at all if you've done body dissolution simulations or something. You organic chemists are wacko, what with your hexagons, and drugs

[neon talon]

[willow sinew]

Meanwhile metallurgy? Absolutely based. The DoD is funding one of my research projects right now on solid state processing because they want armor plating. I'm literally getting paid to friction stir weld plates and then fucking shoot them. That's the American dream

[iron spear]

I was more on the pure synth side of the drugs, like theoretically designing them. Not much bio stuff, though I have to know some pharma

[fluid rock]

sooooo, you designed some drugs for Hornet ? 👀

and Silksong's just a dream ?

[hushed wasp]

[iron spear]

I don't do any chemistry anymore. No money in it lmao unless you.... "Go solo"

[willow sinew]

Hmm... So like, manufacturing processes/process control, or truly theoretical like, "Wonder what happens if humans take C17H21NO4?"

...I mean, that one isn't theoretical. We absolutely know what happens there, but you get the point

[fluid rock]

"go solo" as in "breaking bad" go solo ?

[neon talon]

but what if hornet would take C17H21NO4? 👀

[fluid rock]

then we wait for ss

[iron spear]

Bit of both actually.

[willow sinew]

There's literally a video about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHzdsFiBbFc

[bleak scarab]

broo thats so interesting

[iron spear]

Manufacturing is actually really fun. Like you know the molecule to produce. Then you find all the ways to do so

Then you work out which one is best

[fluid rock]

neet

[iron spear]

Cost/efficient/by products

Etc

[neon talon]

the problem is that is costs money to do before you can make money

[willow sinew]

God, optimization of processes? You're not making PFDs for this, are you?

[iron spear]

If you wanna get super rich, become a catalyst chemist

[worldly dune]

"then the cocaine spider waited till the caffiene spider was exhausted and poped a cap in its ass"

[neon talon]

minor risk of it all going wrong or possibly blowing up though

[willow sinew]

Yeah I'd rather keep my differential equations steady state, thanks.

[iron spear]

Work out a new catalyst to lower the activation energy needed for a giant industry like petroleum.

Patent it

Make billions

[neon talon]

or step 1 just never happens

[coarse leaf]

guys would you pay for silksong at launch if it released for 60 bucks?

[hushed wasp]

yeah

[fluid rock]

yup

[neon talon]

yes... but it won't

[hushed wasp]

im rich 😎
(dont be intimidated by my coolness)

[neon talon]

I would sell my house to buy it... if I had a house of course

[hushed wasp]

Thats, a bit too far

[fluid rock]

yeah, my cat needs a roof

[neon talon]

but I don't have a house 😁

[worldly dune]

Yeah sure

[hushed wasp]

[neon talon]

I guess you could sell the cat

[fluid rock]

DON'T YOU DARE

[hushed wasp]

uh
you do live in one right

[neon talon]

and then the roof

[worthy pilot]

don't sell the cat

[hushed wasp]

if you touch my cat im calling graig

[coarse leaf]

maybe he lives in an apartment complex

[neon talon]

yeah just not mine duh

[coarse leaf]

or an apartment simple

[worthy pilot]

it's probably a simple apartment, not that complex

[hushed wasp]

an apartment is a house

roof over head = house
fight me

[neon talon]

where does the cat come in?

[coarse leaf]

are you a native english speaker?

[hushed wasp]

Nope

[coarse leaf]

then that's how it might work in your language

[hushed wasp]

Yep

[coarse leaf]

in polish we just have one word for everything you can live in

[fluid rock]

in French "home" is the same as "house"

[coarse leaf]

same for polish

[fluid rock]

so you could technically call your flat "house"

[worthy pilot]

I mean

[coarse leaf]

we call houses "single-family homes"

[worthy pilot]

a house is just a house but a home has more complex attachment. not every house is a home

[fluid rock]

house = maison, flat = appartemment, home = maison

[hushed wasp]

in Dutch a home is a house

[worthy pilot]

but yeah, in portuguese both home and house translate to casa

home is where your heart is ;)

[fluid rock]

home is where the wifi and the cat are

[worthy pilot]

or that, yeah

[coarse leaf]

what about a cat cafe

is that a house

[fluid rock]

"the" cat, not "a" cat

[coarse leaf]

makes sense ig

[fluid rock]

the simplest is still "where your bed is", but that's not funny

where the remains of your victims are in the basement or garden of that place

[coarse leaf]

this sentence is pretty confusing

[hushed wasp]

home is where the PC is
(and the cat :))

[coarse leaf]

shit my pc is with me everywhere

[fluid rock]

yeah sorry, couldn't phrase it properly

[nimble radish]

home is where you know how the shower works

[summer kindle]

i can confirm

[hushed wasp]

Home is where the comfortable toilet is

[fallow apex]

Home is Where you cry

[coarse leaf]

home is the void

[humble lynx]

Is there a planned release date?

[fiery coral]

none

[opaque sigil]

Better than having an inaccurate one

[grave lark]

What is it?

[verbal ledge]

[junior vigil]

Any words from Team Cherry recently? 😢

[fiery coral]

none

[tall hinge]

[thin zephyr]

[fiery coral]

spared you the effort

[tall hinge]

good guy unique

[fiery coral]

[young saffron]

will ss combat focus more on the parrying?

[verbal ledge]

Prolly not?

[opaque sigil]

Doesn't seem like it, dodging looks to be foremost still

[young saffron]

oh, I sort of want ss combat to be more complex than hk

[opaque sigil]

But Hornet's downstrike might be better for parrying than any of TK's moves so it may be easier to do

SS combat is more complex, with red tools, new downstrike, varying silk costs

[tall hinge]

i think hornet's combat will definitely be more complex than the knight's

[opaque sigil]

Plus enemies and bosses are faster and more aggressive overall since they don't have to leave large, conspicuous windows for Hornet to heal

And there's more customization with tools and crests

[worldly dune]

I wonder if theres a boss that could heal themselves in ss lol

[opaque sigil]

I doubt it, that'd be annoying ngl. Closest I can imagine is something like PV, where lorewise they may be healing but mechanically aren't. Unless it's something like obleobbles where it's just a scripted one-time thing in the fight

[wary marlin]

Silksong

[coarse leaf]

Actual mood listening to Bonebottom theme and crying

Christopher Larkin ily so much

[opaque sigil]

Larkin's amazing, TC should stick with him on future projects if they can imo

[coarse leaf]

as long as Chris wants to keep working with them too I'm happy

[opaque sigil]

I mean if he hated working with them idk if he would have chosen to do SS, but yeah, he ofc has the right to say no

But after probably like 6+ years working together I imagine they do so reasonably well

[nimble radish]

in a game without health bars bosses healing is kinda pointless since the player has no way of knowing

except for the fact that sometimes a boss takes longer to kill, which would only be noticeable on a repeated playthrough

[worldly dune]

Can't like they show an animation of it healing

[night kindle]

a

[coarse leaf]

or in a pantheon-like scenario

but that's confirmed to not be a thing at launch afaik

[opaque sigil]

Not exactly but kind of. Supposedly TC said not to expect another godhome, which would not seem to suggest that a boss rush mode exists but eh, maybe they just meant not following that aesthetic/lore

[modest night]

where did they say that?

[opaque sigil]

idk mossbag said that so take it with a grain of salt

It's textbook hearsay

[modest night]

sad if true bossrushes are fun

but yeah i won't believe it 🥴

[opaque sigil]

I could take or leave a boss rush mode, but an ability to refight bosses would sure be nice

[crisp drift]

future

[coarse leaf]

okay but what if we get a bossrush mode at launch and then dlcs come out with more bosses?

[opaque sigil]

There's no reason to assume TC will do content updates for SS

[upper sigil]

i dont really want a bossrush mode to ss tbh

[opaque sigil]

A bossrush mode doesn't detract anything from the game

[upper sigil]

id rather the time spent on a boss rush mode to be spent on new harder bosses

[opaque sigil]

They have plenty of time to do both, if they so choose

[sweet lotus]

I wish for a boss rush in Silksong

[coarse leaf]

bossrushes aren't too hard to program really

[upper sigil]

eh

[opaque sigil]

Plus they could probably just reuse the general structure of HK's pantheons, doubt it would take that much time. ig they'd have to select and order the bosses

[coarse leaf]

the pantheons are likely just lists of rooms to load in order

pantheon1 = {room_godhome_vengefly; room_godhome_gruzmother; ...}

something like this

[opaque sigil]

The harder thing would be ordering the bosses, especially if you have rest rooms

Or they could probably just do it at random barring the final few, that could work too

[upper sigil]

you kinda have a lot of designing to do

[coarse leaf]

imo the hardest thing would be making the art, because reusing godhome wouldn't fly

[upper sigil]

unless you copy paste everything

[opaque sigil]

Probably

[upper sigil]

im not a big fan of boss rush for the ammount of time u spend on easy bosses

[opaque sigil]

SS having it wouldn't mean you had to play it

[upper sigil]

like 90% of pantheons is likely to be you doing easy bosses

[coarse leaf]

t r o p h i e s

[opaque sigil]

If you're committing to getting all trophies you're probably already committing to some unpleasant and tedious stuff

[upper sigil]

id rather have improved versions of bossesrather then a boss rush

like absolute radiance

i dont count ascended or radiant improved versions btw

[opaque sigil]

The former is much, much more work than the latter, they aren't really comparable in that regard

[upper sigil]

its just slapping higher damage to the boss

there is arena changes but eh

[coarse leaf]

about 40% of my time platting was grinding godhome lol

[opaque sigil]

The extra work required for a boss rush would not prohibit TC from having the time to do much of anything

[upper sigil]

tbh id still rather that time be spent on other content

[opaque sigil]

They have plenty of time to do everything that they want

[sage wing]

why doesnt hornet need to heal?

[opaque sigil]

She heals fast

[sage wing]

oh

[opaque sigil]

It's not that she doesn't heal it's that she doesn't need huge windows

[upper sigil]

the main thing im gonna like is how much being aggresive is gonna be more valuable

[sage wing]

oh i see, why did they make that change

[opaque sigil]

Make combat faster, high risk/reward

[upper sigil]

hk healing was boring

it just was wait for the boss to be far and stand still for 3 seconds

while hornet healing is probably gonna be dash away heal and dash back in

and if the heal is gonna heal that much its likely that bosses are gonna be pretty aggresive too

[opaque sigil]

From what we've seen, they are. MM and Lace 1 are way more aggressive than early game HK bosses

[stark estuary]

Learning a boss's patterns and where heals were safe is fun, though. You could heal after a lot of attacks you wouldn't expect to be able to from the first encounter, and it added an extra level of depth and strategy to endgame boss encounters.

[opaque sigil]

tbf a lot of the time in boss fights it just translated into "you don't heal"

[crisp drift]

that moment when you want to heal in Hornet Sentinel and she just dashed from the other cornor of the room

[coarse leaf]

that moment when you want to heal in hornet sentinel

[stark estuary]

SS bosses will probably give you a lot less breathing room to account for Hornet's Bind.

[upper sigil]

still boring regardless

[opaque sigil]

They still do stagger though

[stark estuary]

breating

[opaque sigil]

Plus SS stagger is way more lenient since you can hit the boss a few times before waking them up

No more accidental stagger cancel (not a huge problem in HK but it happened from time to time)

[coarse leaf]

What would you change about it to not make it boring then?

[upper sigil]

more pressure based

[stark estuary]

They might stagger less or have more health than HK bosses then

[upper sigil]

more fast paced

[sage wing]

will hornet have spooky abilities (like abys scream) like in hollow knight

[coarse leaf]

So like, bloodborne style?

[upper sigil]

doubt

[coarse leaf]

Lace is crazy

[opaque sigil]

Well, I assume their staggers will be combo based

[upper sigil]

ss is what i would have made hk

in term of combat

[stark estuary]

She might have spells but nothing to do with Void

Tools, though

[coarse leaf]

No I don't think Hornet has spells, I don't think there's magic at all in Pharloom

[opaque sigil]

Her silk abilities seem most analogous to spells mechanically

[opaque sigil]

There is but it's less prominent and showy

[stark estuary]

Hornet's Silk is technically magical

[coarse leaf]

Magic as in bosses and Hornet using magic to attack I mean

[sage wing]

aw, i loved the spooky spells

[opaque sigil]

I mean like Kirb said, her silk abilities are magical

It's not a burning orb of Soul but it's still magic

[stark estuary]

There are bosses who use "magic" we've seen

[opaque sigil]

Seth is enhanced to a supernatural degree

[stark estuary]

That one boss that manipulates fire

[upper sigil]

cant seal of bindings be considered as magic

[opaque sigil]

Yes

[stark estuary]

Lace might have magic related abilities, as might Sharpe, though of a different nature.

[opaque sigil]

The seal on the cage isn't a seal of binding, but it is magical

[sage wing]

i hope theres like rlly differentiated build paths u can go

[opaque sigil]

Not paths, really, but there is more customization

[stark estuary]

I do wonder what kind of HBs will be taking up residence in Pharloom, if any, and whether they'd be aware of Pale King.

[opaque sigil]

imo it seems like there could be at least 2

[stark estuary]

Mr Mushroom will probably be featured in some capacity

[frank marten]

hb?

[stark estuary]

Higher Being

[frank marten]

a ok

[stark estuary]

I think there's a good chance we'll see our good friend LBB again, assuming it's a HB at all

[opaque sigil]

idk about that

[sage wing]

lbb?

le big balls?

[frank marten]

long boi begins?

[fleet temple]

yes, my favourite hollow knight character

[stark estuary]

There's lifeblood in silksong, but until LBB's actual relation to lifeblood is confirmed it'll be pretty hard to say

[frank marten]

life blood beast

[fleet temple]

I think they mean lifeblood beast

[frank marten]

gotcha

[worldly dune]

There's a lifeblood beast?

[frank marten]

just realised i've just made an acronym to bardoons butt

[frank marten]

there he is, the boi

[worldly dune]

The fuck

[stark estuary]

I'm curious as to what this estimate is based on. Hallownest had 3-4 and 5-6 if you count the two visiting ones

And 1 more is born during the game ofc

[opaque sigil]

I mean there are two whose influence appears to be present, one responsible for the haunting, one (presumably in opposition) which is responsible for the recruitment and empowerment of Seth

[sage wing]

where is that

[opaque sigil]

Godhome lifeblood room

[sage wing]

i see

[frank marten]

if hk har around 4 hb, and pharloons gonna be bigger, imma gues the same amount or even less

[stark estuary]

Those two things aren't necessarily related

[opaque sigil]

If anything the fact that Pharloom is supposed to be a lower-magic setting suggests fewer HBs

[stark estuary]

HBs can rule over large portions of land, Unn ruled over a huge area before being out-competed by stronger HBs appearing

[opaque sigil]

[hearty tendon]

I remember something that godseeker say that hallownest is the land of gods

[frank marten]

id guess that too considering the amount

[hearty tendon]

But he is a little bit bonker on the head so we never know how many Higher being are there

[worldly dune]

She

But yeah her definition of gods are kind of wack

[frank marten]

yeah that grass worm cant be a god

[opaque sigil]

As used by her the term "god" is not to be equated with the term "Higher Being"

[frank marten]

fair, but, massive moss god

she cant be alright in the head

[hearty tendon]

Tfw godseeker is a she

[frank marten]

unn is getting weaker, the white lady is a beeg radiant tree, and the pale king is ded as duk

what was the 4th one again?

[hearty tendon]

Lmao

[opaque sigil]

Radiance

[hearty tendon]

Grim

[frank marten]

oh yeah a normal moth

[opaque sigil]

Rad is much, much more than a moth

[frank marten]

with an led light glued to it

[hearty tendon]

What who's radiance nobody remember her

[frank marten]

honestly how did i forget the final boss dam

[worldly dune]

And they shouldn't or smth idk im not a bug

[opaque sigil]

There's also the nightmare heart but that one is just there temporarily, and the Lord of Shades but it doesn't exist at the beginning of the game

[hearty tendon]

Dream no more i guess

You know the more i look into it

I get a feeling these bug really just praying to a light bulb or something

Perhaps hallownest is under arii couch

[frank marten]

LED light, like i said, the radiance is the only moth that decided to carry the light that it wanted

and then theres the shade and edgeman

[hearty tendon]

Literally just fighting arii lamp

[frank marten]

yes

[hearty tendon]

It's all a lies

Pale king is a fuckn snake oil trademan

[frank marten]

the shade is clearly just a smudge on radiances LED, and edge is just a self insert OC by a 15yr old

fight me on my theories you will lose

sink down to my IQ and i beat you just by experience

[hearty tendon]

The bugs just worship them to much they become real

This isn't religion it's a cult

[frank marten]

thats just that dnd race, kumatoa i think

[hearty tendon]

Pov: your entire existence is depend if you're relevant or not

[frank marten]

not race, monster, but it should be a race

[hearty tendon]

Confirmed radiance and jack paul are the same person

[frank marten]

imma give anyone here a homebrew race cuz fuk it no news today: make kumatoas that can use their mystical god creating powers to empower PC's

now i can be muted for 10 minutes since i basically never talk about ss in this chat

[hearty tendon]

People talk about ss ?

[frank marten]

t o o l s

[hearty tendon]

tools

#sk-discussion get the tools

"discussion"

[frank marten]

conspiracy would fit better tbh

[hearty tendon]

0 update

-5 update

[sage wing]

I just want hornet to abyss shriek a "Shaw"

[ocean axle]

I just want hornet

[valid sable]

Mod to turn every attack sound effect into "SHAW"

[wide arrow]

Do you guys think pharloom will have their own 5 great knights

[opaque sigil]

Do you mean like 5 notable warriors or just culturally significant soldiers in general?

I'd be surprised if Pharloom had the exact same thing, ie five renowned warriors that Hornet encounters, alive or dead, on her journey, but the idea of there being some folk heroes is more plausible

[wide arrow]

Oh I like that more

[sage wing]

What do yall think tc has left to do for ss?

[wide arrow]

Probably final touches like background objects and such

[burnt topaz]

Something that we don't know about, like a super secret area they've never mentioned

[wide arrow]

Maybe some more lore

[opaque sigil]

No way to know. I imagine they still have at least some bug testing to do, maybe some more tuning

They could really be doing anything atm

[burnt topaz]

Maybe a few more art assets for that extra flair

[wide arrow]

Hehe bug testing

[frank marten]

more benches

[trim estuary]

Yeah they could still be working on moss grotto

[opaque sigil]

Sure, if they're polishing it

[burnt topaz]

Working on moss grotto after it gets burned down by forest of bones

[sage wing]

I reckon they are refining the lore and the story

[opaque sigil]

Maybe adding some optional stuff in MG, a tool or two you can't get until you get a specific ability

They could totally be working on moss grotto

[stark estuary]

I think they're currently designing the boss fight against Shade Lord

[burnt topaz]

I can't wait to fall from the bridge to the beginning of the game

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, it'd be cool, also, to see just how long the fall is

[burnt topaz]

I hope hornet does a really long and exaggerated yell when she falls

[stark estuary]

I hope poggy thorax is in the game

[opaque sigil]

Like in general

[sage wing]

SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW????? ADEEEEEEEDUS?!?!?!?!?

[wide arrow]

SHHAAaaaaaawwww

[burnt topaz]

Can only happen if it's a prequel

[opaque sigil]

Hornet falling voicelines would be both hilarious and extremely annoying

[sage wing]

It would be hot

[burnt topaz]

How often are you gonna be falling off that bridge

[opaque sigil]

I mean in general, if it's just from the bridge it would be hilarious and not so annoying

Hell just do away with the gibberish and have her yell "GERONIMOOOOO"

[trim estuary]

How was the fall

[wide arrow]

Just have hornet say fuck when she gets hit

[trim estuary]

There is absolutely going to be a mod for that and I hate it already

[opaque sigil]

HK got away with worse and had a E rating

[wide arrow]

Y'know what I might mod that

[burnt topaz]

Sentence mixing

[trim estuary]

No see they only implied it they didn’t actually say what it was

[opaque sigil]

Cursing is less disturbing than an entire area made out of baby corpses

[trim estuary]

False

[burnt topaz]

They were bugs so it was ok

[trim estuary]

I hear cursing and I nearly jump out of my skin

[wide arrow]

That won't hold up in court

[trim estuary]

Actually…

It probably would

[burnt topaz]

The law doesn't protect bugs

Not that I endorse stepping on an ants nest or something

[trim estuary]

I do

[wide arrow]

You'll probably be worse off than the ants

[opaque sigil]

I mean you can try it but the ants might fuck you up if you pick the wrong nest

[trim estuary]

Not if you run fast enough

[burnt topaz]

When I was a kid I used to poke sticks into ant hills and I was fine

[trim estuary]

I tried to steal ant eggs when I was a kid

[burnt topaz]

Did you get any?

[opaque sigil]

Damn y'all sadistic

[trim estuary]

No they were too small

[burnt topaz]

[stark estuary]

I like ants

[calm prairie]

i would love to see this

[opaque sigil]

Probably wouldn't be hard to mod in

[lone kettle]

why does hornet get her own game if she couldn’t even beat a default knight or any of the bosses in hk

[burnt topaz]

Because hornet is cool

[calm prairie]

i feel like hornet having her voice from the boss fights would get kinda annoyying

[trim estuary]

She probably could beat TK post Silksong
Unless they just go void time and devour everything

[lone kettle]

not cool enough to defend her home kingdom

[burnt topaz]

There are multiple timelines where hornet wins, all of the save files where you died to her

[lone kettle]

ss would have to be a prequel if every ending is canon

[trim estuary]

True

[sage wing]

Whats tk

[lone kettle]

the knight

[burnt topaz]

Here we go fellas...

[trim estuary]

I am saying theoretically if they were to fight post both of their games, without the endings affecting them in any way, hornet might win

[trim estuary]

little ghost/the knight/the bug you play as

[lone kettle]

is it a speedrunner knight or a casual player knight

[worldly dune]

Most likely casual player

[burnt topaz]

Also there are plenty of ways that the endings could work for Silksong if it is a sequel

[trim estuary]

[opaque sigil]

I mean depending on the playthrough TK's power varies pretty greatly

[nimble radish]

sometimes tk has pure nail, upgraded spells, all the narts and controls the entire void sea

[sage wing]

Ss isnt prequel or sequel, it happens at the same time as hk, what else u think she was doing that whole time?

[opaque sigil]

Yeah approximately one of those things really matters

[nimble radish]

sometimes the knight has old nail, vengeful spirit, and nothing else

[lone kettle]

sitting in deepnest greenpath kingdoms edge and hiding in the black egg

[sage wing]

False

She is an explorer at heart

[burnt topaz]

Whats she gonna explore that she hasn't seen before

[worldly dune]

Lmao

[burnt topaz]

She didn't choose to go to pharloom

[coarse leaf]

wait, is silksong's end goal established?

[lone kettle]

u don’t know that she could be into cages

[trim estuary]

Reach the citadel and then reach the top

[coarse leaf]

okay but... why

[burnt topaz]

Oh I didn't think of that

[lone kettle]

silksong is gonna be more focused on lore

[coarse leaf]

she escapes first chance she gets

[trim estuary]

Find out why hornet got captured and probably take revenge

[lone kettle]

shes into rp as well

[trim estuary]

Or alternatively she wants to free the entire kingdom after interacting with its citizens and realizing the weavers are here

[nimble radish]

what is wrong with you people

[trim estuary]

So into RP in fact that she kills people she RPs with

[coarse leaf]

man, i really hope this game comes out some day

[burnt topaz]

Whos gonna tell her that won't hold up in court

[trim estuary]

The sky

[lone kettle]

yes that’s apart of the rp they are all agreeing members

[trim estuary]

Bugs aren’t protected remember

[nimble radish]

I am literally dying of laughter

[burnt topaz]

Fuck you're right

[lone kettle]

@nimble radish what’s prith?

[coarse leaf]

is void protected tho?

[trim estuary]

The new fortnite location

[trim estuary]

Uhhh
We’ll get back to you soon

[lone kettle]

if u ignore the demon it just says prith

oh i get it

that’s cool

[burnt topaz]

My favourite time of the year, prith

[coarse leaf]

prith month

[silver oak]

Fortnight?

[mortal grove]

pride?

[warm bone]

When greed month

[raven minnow]

I find it funny that Leth has said he wants TC to do more blog posts or something but they haven't

[worldly quarry]

I find it funny I got hollow knight 2 months ago and went it completely blind. Completed the game 112% and I'm already getting inpatient waiting for silksong which i discovered existed 1 month ago. How are you guys whose been waiting for nearly 1000 days not crazy?

[pallid flare]

you sure we aren't crazy

[languid linden]

Oh we are crazy

[worldly quarry]

I have read a decent bit of the past few days and you guys seem more tame than what I was expecting it to be

[floral kindle]

we don't have much left to talk about
Should've seen the riddle days

[burnt topaz]

I had a similar story but back at the beginning of the year

[worldly quarry]

Yeah I do wish I got into hollow knight a lot sooner than what I did

[burnt topaz]

Yeah, feels like I've missed out on a lot. Also the first Fandom Ive ever really interacted with and it's been a good experience

[worldly quarry]

Yeah same here and I've enjoyed my time here even thought this is the first few sentences I've ever said on this server...

[burnt topaz]

That's good to hear

[pulsar pelican]

Anything for ss happen recently?

[pallid flare]

?sspsa

[thin zephyr]

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

[trim estuary]

We are crazy but we’ve learned to keep it in so when we do get silksong we play it for 264 hours straight

[trim estuary]

You should become a #sk-discussion regular it is definitely good for your health

[trim estuary]

Only 464?

[trim estuary]

We could talk about tools

[worldly quarry]

This is probably really dumb but I can't tell if that's sarcasm

[trim estuary]

Uhhh

Nesyensono?

[worldly quarry]

Humanukamuhapuhahuha?

[worldly quarry]

Idk what I just typed XD. But I have no idea what that means

[trim estuary]

Yes no maybe so?

[worldly quarry]

Oh btw I wanna ask. Is silksong going to have a mode like steel soul mode. Or has nothing been said on something like that

[opaque sigil]

We don't know. There's silk soul mode but it isn't the same as steel soul

But permadeath is pretty easy to self-enforce anyways

[worldly quarry]

But thanks for answering my question anyways

[trim estuary]

But the steam achievements

[opaque sigil]

If there's no permadeath mode there will be no steam achievements associated with one

[trim estuary]

Exactly

[opaque sigil]

Challenge Silk Soul mode! Once you conquer the game, test your skills in an all-new mode that spins the game into a unique, challenging experience.
Anyways, imo this doesn't really imply permadeath at all

[worldly quarry]

I'm trying to think of what could be changed if it isn't permadeath besides the obvious things

[opaque sigil]

Hopefully it's more sophisticated than some games' feeble attempts to pad out playtime by adding a hard mode that just doubles damage or smth

Sure sounds like it's intended to be

Maybe something like the Rain World hunter mode: More demanding mechanics, more (or more aggressive and dangerous) enemies

[strange igloo]

Every enemy gets an AK

[trim estuary]

Just make every enemy hornet

Or alternatively every enemy has a silk shield that makes them have more health but give you more silk

[opaque sigil]

That sounds kinda tedious ngl

[trim estuary]

[opaque sigil]

Turning enemies into damage sponges is not a great way to do higher difficulties imo

[strange igloo]

Considering what Team Cherry said about smarter enemies it wouldn’t be surprising if it upped the ai or if it replaced enemies with smarter and stronger variations.

[trim estuary]

Could be like terrarias expert mode, new items and more powerful tools but every enemy is stronger, some enemies (but all bosses) have more attacks/different AI

[rapid topaz]

I love when hard modes in games adds new patterns and phases to boss/ennemies

[trim estuary]

I agree

[worldly quarry]

Yeah that would be really fun

[opaque sigil]

This seems plausible imo, they did say that Silk Soul was intended to be a "unique" experience, and adding new abilities and upgrades would be one way to do that

[strange igloo]

I can imagine some common enemy becoming stupid smart in Silk Soul mode and becoming the Primal Aspid of the game

[trim estuary]

Primal aspid but it dodges

[strange igloo]

Now that sounds like hell

Maybe there will be variations of enemies that aren’t just smarter but also have like a new attack each, and they just appear sooner in Silk Soul mode

[worldly quarry]

Unpopular opinion time. I didn't find primal aspids that annoying or hard to deal with

[opaque sigil]

They really aren't except in large numbers

[gilded adder]

I think this has become the popular opinion over the years.

[opaque sigil]

Crystal hunters suck and 9/10 times come in rooms where they suck even more

[strange igloo]

crystal hunters are absolute hell in areas with any platforming

[opaque sigil]

Which is of course the majority of the areas where they appear

[strange igloo]

Very true

[opaque sigil]

Crystallized mound would be fine if it weren't for those bastards

[trim estuary]

Crystal hunters are the laser things right

[opaque sigil]

They're the ones that shoot spikes that turn into hazardous terrain

[trim estuary]

AAAA

[languid linden]

I HATE them

Literally the only reason ddark is hard to get

[trim estuary]

I had 3 of them on me once and it was pain

[opaque sigil]

And even pure nail can't one-shot them without narts

[worldly quarry]

Also I found out you can kill the crystal crawler with sharp shadow yesterday. Just pointing that out if someone didn't know

[shy kiln]

#sk-discussion more like #hk-discussion

[trim estuary]

@shy kiln more like #hk-discussion

[pallid flare]

what

[shy kiln]

You pinged me more like you got snailed

[trim estuary]

[worldly quarry]

I come back and find snails and fleas. Good way to come back

[olive bobcat]

Snail village for SS

[ember geode]

Everyday I thank god that they’re only in like 4-3 rooms

[mortal grove]

fleas are terrible

[coarse leaf]

flea

[mortal grove]

suffer under my wrath

[obsidian juniper]

Imagine trial of fools with those f.ckers instead of primal aspids

[obsidian juniper]

Mostly the floorless part

[charred cloak]

Silksong? spare but a crumb of silksong for the lost and poor?

[pallid flare]

no

[charred cloak]

why hath were we given enterence to these halls but to suffer and wallow in misery and want?

[pallid flare]

excuse me?

[charred cloak]

dont like poetics huh? no fancy for flair?

[serene chasm]

Alms for the poor?

[charred cloak]

this one gets it

[pallid flare]

is this some obscure reference

[charred cloak]

no just made it up, like most things

[pallid flare]

nothing happened :DDDD

[coarse leaf]

Anyways, how are you pyro

[pallid flare]

I am doing great

[coarse leaf]

I was kinda off for a while whats been going on here

[trim estuary]

Literally nothing

[coarse leaf]

So the ussual huh?

I see i see, ss is still busy not being alive

[trim estuary]

No

Silksongs out

Nobody’s here because they’re avoiding spoilers

[coarse leaf]

Hmmmmmm🤔 🤔 🤔

Rick roll iniciated

More like a silkroll lmao, thats the new name for when someone is being baited to think ss is out while its not

Get silk rolled

[trim estuary]

[elfin swift]

fun alms fact! though buddhism is often associated with vegetarianism, early priesthoods were expected to subsist exclusively through alms, food donated freely to begging monks; there weren't really standards of vegetarianism, since you were expected to just eat whatever was given

[charred cloak]

wait was something suppose to happen?

[pallid flare]

no, nothing happened and nothing was supposed to happen :)

[coarse leaf]

no, nothing happened and nothing was supposed to happen :)

[charred cloak]

alright

[modest night]

yo it's almost been 1k days since the release trailer

[pallid flare]

27 days

10.11.2021 I think

[charred cloak]

whats the latest tinfoil hat speculation for an update?

like date

[trim estuary]

DECEMBER 21ST

[cunning geode]

the leak date, feb 1st or whatever it was

[trim estuary]

that too

[pallid flare]

1000th day, believe with me, brothers

[fiery coral]

[vivid belfry]

If silksong really does end up being like 50+% bigger than hollow knight, I think it would be nice if the map had the same fidelity as metroid dread (specifically, obstacles being viewable from area maps)

Knowing what thing you need before going to a place and doing a thing with the thing removes the absolutely worst part of the metroidvania formula (not that it was a problem with HK in the first place but you know, doesn't hurt to be thorough)

[coarse leaf]

blog post on the 13th dec

[opaque sigil]

I mean tbf HK did have the pins, and even if those weren't explicit you could keep an internal record of what pin means what sort of obstacle.

[vivid belfry]

That is true, and I think making them accessible right off the bat would entirely alleviate the issue

[opaque sigil]

Plus HK (and presumably SS) gating is often more open ended, so a given upgrade may not be the only way to bypass a closed path

[vivid belfry]

Part of the reason I think the dread map is so necessary is that metroid secrets are in general way more cryptic than HK secrets, and the landmarks aren't as well defined

Like I can look at an HK room from the map and remember what the enemies and background looked like, which isn't the case in most tile-based metroidvanias

[opaque sigil]

Although that might not always be the case for the first pass through an area

[stark estuary]

Metroid secrets are in general more cryptic than HK secrets, but with Dread specifically the locations of most things I found to be rather obvious, and the map quite linear.

[opaque sigil]

But yeah, if you showed me a MG or DD map I could probably describe each room to some degree

[vivid belfry]

Yeah the locations are obvious because they tell you where they are

Old metroid is about morph ball bombing every fucking tile in the game

[stark estuary]

That's true

I was actually a fan of SR's Scan Pulse even though most people hated it

But Dread kinda dumbed things down too much

[vivid belfry]

I would rather be given an easy route to completion than spend hours pissing around without making progress

And as always, HK takes the best solution to this by giving you so many paths forward that it's practically impossible to not stumble into one

[opaque sigil]

Here's hoping SS does the same 🥂

[vivid belfry]

Earliest TC update suggests heavily that it will

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, I'm not doubting it

[nimble steppe]

That's pretty cool

[vivid belfry]

And there are already some aspects of the HK map that definitively communicate what item you need to progress

[opaque sigil]

Like the crystals in waterways

[nimble steppe]

Those are pretty cool

[vivid belfry]

Like if you see a half-filled in room that's way longer than it is tall, that's a universal sign that you stumbled into a crystal heart room without crystal heart

[nimble steppe]

I remember stumbling on them the first time

Will hornet have a super dash?

[vivid belfry]

Or the tiny stalactites that are over a few acid pools

[nimble steppe]

Or an extra long needle throw

[opaque sigil]

I wouldn't assume she would have something similar to cdash

[vivid belfry]

I'm thinking the grappling hook will basically be the replacement for crystal heart

[nimble steppe]

I really like the idea of the crests being jewelry

[opaque sigil]

Opens some avenues for fanart

[vivid belfry]

It gives you ridiculous movement capability and is one of her most defining moves from the first game, so I can't imagine it as anything other than a core ability

[opaque sigil]

Well, moreso than cheart I could see grapple moves being replicable without the ability but yeah

[potent plover]

Heyo, whats going on?

[opaque sigil]

Like a spikeball pogo seems like it could do most things a grapple could, but limited capacity + a higher bounce so maybe not

[chilly nexus]

Silksong coming on Dec 21sth confirmed! rejoice!!

[coarse leaf]

what is his name

i will name him crabby

[coarse leaf]

Is this fellow from the coral forest area? I honestly don’t remember how i got this but i assume its an enemy from silksong either in coral forest or lavatown

[pallid flare]

his name is "Cioppino"

[coarse leaf]

Amazing

[pallid flare]

here, take a look at this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yiF9Oa0r56UU1z9e9OyPOh6-N-MZb_eG6aKL9JaR1m8/edit

[coarse leaf]

oh no its a seafood dish

[stark estuary]

Can't believe TC decided to canonize crustaceans after what happened with God Tamer. Do they think this rights the wrongs they inflicted upon her? It doesn't.

[coarse leaf]

what!

[opaque sigil]

Unforgivable conduct smh 0/10 devs of a 0/10 game

[stark estuary]

God Tamer was meant to ride a Lobster, but TC gave her some generic-ass looking Pillbug thing instead because they didn't want to canonize crustaceans, but then they went on and added barnacles and crabs to the sequel.

[opaque sigil]

rip lobster lancer

[stark estuary]

One of the most tragic losses of our time, right up there with Blundering Obelisk and Gorb's IQ points.

[glossy gazelle]

At least we can still fight sharpe at least when the game comes out

[opaque sigil]

But no Hornet/TK duo

[hollow smelt]

idd like to announce that ive gone into my first rollercoaster today

and im fucking terrified so now they should release silksong to make me feel better

[glossy gazelle]

Oof

[potent plover]

I wonder how many bugs there will be in silksong when it releases?

( haha bugs as in incests haha )

But there probably will be a decent amount of glitches and bugs when it releases

[opaque sigil]

That's true of most any game

[potent plover]

and also just the normal broken/overpowered or underpowered item

[chilly nexus]

tbh i'm not so sure

there'll be some, but i feel like they've been testing for a while

[potent plover]

like in hk how quick slash used to be 2 notches

[chilly nexus]

i'm expecting ss to be much better balanced on release yeah :p

[opaque sigil]

Their handful of playtesters vs millions of players... I'm sure a few will slip through and pop up after release

[sage wing]

yeah thats jsut normal

[rapid topaz]

2 notches sounds a bit too powerful yeah

[vagrant umbra]

Gah, I just want the copper golem in Minecraft, but I don’t have a Twitter account, and Alleys are being way too overhyped without enough context.

Dw we will for sure get news soon

This is only the 400th time ive said it

[formal karma]

maybe you don't need to say it so often....

[obsidian juniper]

Hi everyone

[analog lily]

hehe, it's already OCtober 15 where i am TC live, so...
proven false

[coarse leaf]

So close to SS news

I'm gonna say it everyday

[potent plover]

What's silksong

[coarse leaf]

its a game about silk and song, odd

[obsidian juniper]

Do you all think chat Is going apeshit if nothing happens in february 2th?

[potent plover]

Suddenly I feel like I want to ruin my life by waiting for this "silksong"

[coarse leaf]

I think society is going apeshit

[coarse leaf]

I know right? that feeling

[stoic plover]

Predictions on if silksong is gonna be harder/easier than hollow knight

[potent plover]

Probably not, I think many people know that 1st of feb is probably a placeholder

Though I have slight hopes it might come out in any day of feb

[coarse leaf]

but something's happening on February

[obsidian juniper]

Idk,i think there must be people out of the loop in that regard

[stoic plover]

Part of me wants a Feb release date but if they keep holding off then that means more content, it’s a win win

[coarse leaf]

All of me wants a feb release

[potent plover]

If its not in feb I wonder if it will be at E3?

[obsidian juniper]

My birthday Is in feb so it would be ideal to me,if they release it in ps4 too

[stoic plover]

I’d happily take a feb release too but 2022 got some bangers coming out already not just including games

[coarse leaf]

I dont understand your point 🥺

[mystic pewter]

I heavily doubt it will be on ps4 at launch

[stoic plover]

Means there’s so much to constantly keep me busy in 2022 so it wouldn’t be that bad if silksong wasn’t releasing early 2022

[opaque sigil]

Basically guaranteed not to be at this point

[mystic pewter]

man, if silksong comes out in feb that would probably be the best month of games for me in years

[obsidian juniper]

I know

[stoic plover]

I would be gutted if it was 2023 though

[coarse leaf]

Mmmm I would agree, I have Pokemon on January... and Bayo 3 and Zelda BOTW 2 at some point in 2022

[mystic pewter]

I will be playing elden ring, halo infinite co-op will have just come out so I will be playing that for the first time AND silksong!

[coarse leaf]

but I still think SS is coming in 2022

[mystic pewter]

what do you mean silksong comes out tomorrow

[coarse leaf]

Oh true im sorry

[mystic pewter]

what is feb 2nd

[obsidian juniper]

my birthday,
i didnt wanted to say it but wrote by accident

[mystic pewter]

yes I will go insane if silksong does not come out on your bday

thats so rude TC how could you
D:

[stoic plover]

Elden Ring, God of War, Demon Souls (when I can afford a PS5 ) just to name a few

[mystic pewter]

and of course bloodborne ps5 port while we're at it

[potent plover]

AHHH KEEP IT AWAY

[coarse leaf]

😂😂😂😂

[analog lily]

Don't show those hideous lies

[stoic plover]

I’ve never really been on that train of people who want a bloodborne remaster or port, even though it could do with one I guess

[stiff depot]

how tf does that picture exist

[potent plover]

bad ending

[coarse leaf]

deathly grotto

[obsidian juniper]

pls team cherry love me and give ss

[stiff depot]

was that from the demo?

[analog lily]

even hornet is bored of waiting

[coarse leaf]

hornet has retired

[potent plover]

its okay because hornet is voi-

[mystic pewter]

bloodborne runs atrociously on the ps4 and the aliasing is horrendous

[coarse leaf]

waifuuuuu

[stoic plover]

Silksong speedrun death in 0:00

[analog lily]

please don't, i don't want to another war to start here

[mystic pewter]

seeing sekiro now means that fromsoft/sony has no reason to not go back and touch it up. literally free money

although with that bluepoint remaster and sequel rumor I am hopeful

[stoic plover]

I’m not that much of a picky person when it comes to graphics and smooth running lol, but yes it actually does really need the remaster, it’s a guaranteed profit for PlayStation

Only just platinumed bloodborne a while ago too, that wasn’t as bad as Dark souls 3 and 2, oh god I haven’t even platinumed 2 yet because it’s one of the worst

[mystic pewter]

I don't care about pixels and whatnot usually but for a souls game you feel the drop from 60 frames on every other game to 30 for bloodborne, plus, the jaggies on every surface kinda takes away from the world design when every edge is more serrated than the saw cleaver

[stoic plover]

Lmfao

True

Have you platinumed any of the souls games?

[mystic pewter]

no. don't care much for trophies. I think that trying to "do everything" more often than not takes my enjoyment away from something. only game I've ever 100%ed is super mario galaxu

because in that game its just "do all of the levels"

oh and I have 104% in hk but that not REALLY "100 percent"

[stoic plover]

Well that’s a fair point, but going for platinum could always be the last thing you’d do in a game if you have nothing else to do, which is why I like to do it, finishing a play through of a game and then challenging myself to complete the trophies is satisfying and gets more out of the games I like

[mystic pewter]

I have played and beaten every souls game except bloodborne, where I am about halfway through and have just beat ||rom||

[analog lily]

well it is %100, just that there is more gameplay in there

[stoic plover]

That was a tricky boss, it’s funny how souls games have bosses people find super easy, and other people struggle so much on

[mystic pewter]

bro ||rom|| I found so easy just ||use tonitrus and hit their asses||

on the other hand, I've died to ||curse rotted greatwood|| in ds3 more than I have died to ||nameless king|| so I guess you're right

[stoic plover]

It’s super tedious though, gotta play safe and kill the ||spiders|| just to get to the boss, I found ||Father Gascoigne|| very very difficult, almost stopped playing lol

But I couldn’t give up a couple hours in because of a souls boss, I feel a lot of newcomers may have though

[mystic pewter]

I first tried ||fatha G|| although I had just come from ds3 and beat ||gael|| first try so maybe I wasn't very rusty

was bloodborne your first souls game?

oh god ||midir|| I had to spend like 90 mins on hes tough

[stoic plover]

Oh my bad I accidentally deleted that to avoid spoilers but you’ve played ds3 lol

Had a minor brain fart, my first souls game was Dark Souls 1, which I’m kinda of glad I played it first

[mystic pewter]

yeah

I went ds1, ds2, ds3, DeS, BB, and will do sekiro next

[stoic plover]

I did Dark souls 1, Dark souls 3 then Dark souls 2, Bloodborne then Sekiro, need to play demon souls man, it’s getting on my nerves that I can’t play it and it’s been out of so long

Sekiro was one of the harder ones but, once you master it, it’s has the most fun boss fights to learn and fight against, still need to play the dlc

Oh my god it’s a mess

I’m sorry for what we have created

[worldly dune]

Haha

[warm bone]

waifi

[summer kindle]

[warm bone]

[summer kindle]

i was expecting something a bit more specific

[warm bone]

wifi

[proud vale]

SilkPals ™️ greetings

[low vapor]

if zote isnt in silksong im not buying it

[opaque sigil]

Bad news then

[tribal merlin]

more SilkSong for us

[low vapor]

i will hack team cherry and code zote into the game

make the player beat the eternal ordeal before they can even start the game

[tribal merlin]

it would take 2 seconds for them to remove your changes tho

[low vapor]

stop using logic and just let me dream

[valid sable]

Zote skin for Hornet. Tall Zote

[opaque sigil]

I mean it'd sound better but would the average person know what that means
ig it's pretty clear if you know the latin root but I wouldn't expect most people to
