[uncut citrus]

if it kills 2 of them thats like lets say 6 hits

of needle

[shell yacht]

what if i want one giant saw instead of 3

[jade canopy]

That like a shriek I guess, so not all that strong

[shell yacht]

found the nail user

[opaque sigil]

Shriek is a shit ton of damage and doing that much without placing yourself in harms way like shriek does would be absurdly broken

[uncut citrus]

unless you gotta get to a bench to do it again

like probably the saw

[opaque sigil]

Still, even if you can only do it a few times

[jade canopy]

But the saw seems harder to hit than a full shriek, I guess it depends on the ennemi

[opaque sigil]

I doubt an individual saw would do as much as a shriek

[shell yacht]

Hornets tech guy is actually legeater, so she knows how to build replacements out of corpses

[uncut citrus]

tahts why i said a stationary enemie, im thinking it works kinda like a cyclone slash but ofc with less dmg but you dont have to stand near the boss

[shell yacht]

also stagger breakers

[uncut citrus]

also since it falls it wont work mid air unless maybe you drop it i onto them but it seems like it would roll any only do one or two tick of dmg to the boss then

[opaque sigil]

Stagger breaking isn't a thing in SS

You can hit staggered bosses without reactivating them

[shell yacht]

i sure hope not

[uncut citrus]

well it seems for Moss mother and lace

[fathom peak]

well from the lace boss fight in the demo
lace was staggered, then got hit once or twice?
then after the third hit it woke up again

[uncut citrus]

welp time for me to go

[fathom peak]

cya

[uncut citrus]

bye

[opaque sigil]

That could also just have been timing roughly coinciding with the attack

Lace recovered a few moments after it, not immediately after the hit

[fathom peak]

oh ok
well thats what it looked like to me when i was watching the demo
so there was a chance im wrong

[glossy gazelle]

Lol imagine using abyss shriek

[opaque sigil]

eeeh actually maybe it is 3 hits, there are two times when she recovers pretty quickly after the third one (or it's just enough time for only three hits)

[fathom peak]

well i guesss we'll have to see it for ourselves when ss is released
there's only so much staring at demo footage we can do

[opaque sigil]

MM's the same, after 3 hits she recovered

[glossy gazelle]

I'm assumed the Pimpillo is probably gonna be mainly a group clear

[opaque sigil]

ok it's probably a 3 hit thing, or else there's just a real weird coincidence there

[glossy gazelle]

And Using it against fast enemies is not a good move because of the arc

[fathom peak]

so bosses get out of stagger either
-after 3 hits
-or after a specified time?

[opaque sigil]

Or proximal enemies due to the presumed self-damage

[opaque sigil]

Yeah the staggers can probably time out too

[jade canopy]

Ohhhh i just understand, my comment got misunderstood I didn’t say that abyss shriek isn’t strong, just that the saw isn’t in comparison

[fathom peak]

ok

[glossy gazelle]

Well it said "friends" and foe alike, so I dunno if it harms Hornet but it could harm an ally (probably stuff like Garmond whenever we go on quests with him)

[opaque sigil]

I doubt that'll be a concern

Hornet's ill-equipped to defend her companions, making the player do that would be a weird move

[fathom peak]

mm, i think it'll harm hornet (in my perspective at least)
explosion's an explosion

[nimble radish]

"accidentally" killing all my allies

[opaque sigil]

It'll probably harm Hornet, yeah. I doubt it'll have any tangible effect on NPC companions

[glossy gazelle]

I'm just going off the description. It could be an early descriptor and probably will change so

[fathom peak]

thats true

[glossy gazelle]

So the friends part could easily be removed if TC didn't want to apply you can harm NPCs

[fathom peak]

or what if...

[nimble radish]

killing npcs is something all games need

[glossy gazelle]

I can't wait for players to yeet a Pimpillo at Sherma for the lols

[jade canopy]

But that would mean that you can’t be constantly destroying the background objects cus you could hit an npc

[nimble radish]

reasonable trade off

[glossy gazelle]

Well this would only being a thing in specific quests I feel, I don't think they'll let you attack npcs for the lols all the time

[jade canopy]

Wait
That would mean you would have a way to kill zote with your own hand

[glossy gazelle]

Zote is not gonna be in Pharloom

Let's be real here

[jade canopy]

I know but like a potential zote equivalent

[coarse leaf]

i think it may just be a coincidence, the staggers all seem to last the same amount of time

[opaque sigil]

Could be just enough time for 3 hits

But then Katie never missing one is a bit surprising, even if she is practiced with the game

imo the demo footage points more strongly to it being based on hit count

Let me look for other footage rq

[shell yacht]

i beat nkg with nailarts first. spells are still better

[opaque sigil]

ok it isn't 3 hits

https://youtu.be/acBIdFBJoIU?t=581

It's either:
Time passed
First hit after some amount of time has passed
idfk

ok it's time

https://youtu.be/acBIdFBJoIU?t=646
Here it ends without Lace having immediately been hit

[coarse leaf]

they all just seem to be about 2 seconds

but it may just be that you can't make 4 hits quicker than 2 seconds

[opaque sigil]

ig Katie's just damn good at hitting bosses optimally when staggered

[coarse leaf]

yup

[pallid flare]

<@&283547423706447872>

[coarse leaf]

ey thx

[viral pivot]

Heck pff

[nimble steppe]

Stupid nitro bots

[viral pivot]

Idk if swearing is allowed XD

[pallid flare]

the image isn't even high resolution, did they even try?

[jade canopy]

I wonder what discord might be able to do to address those bots it seems a bit hard

[opaque sigil]

Blacklist links but they'll just keep making new ones

Plus the accounts aren't bot accounts

At least not generally

[jade canopy]

Really ? There are like hacked one ?

[pallid flare]

yes

[opaque sigil]

Most are afaik, that's how it spreads

[marsh ibex]

yeah

[jade canopy]

Is there 2fA on discord ?

[marsh ibex]

first few are bots, people click, get hacked, spread links further, ad infinitum

[marsh ibex]

yep

[opaque sigil]

Yeah but not everybody uses it

[jade canopy]

do I have it

[opaque sigil]

Did you enable it

[pallid flare]

you can check

[jade canopy]

Turns out I didn’t, I guess that’s done now

[shell yacht]

you could also not be a dumbass and sign into a scam and give it your info

[brittle garnet]

Most of those links steal your login token directly meaning that 2FA doesn't protect you from them.

[pallid flare]

sometimes they use the mobile sign in thing and that bypasses everything

[shell yacht]

most of these ask you to litterally sign in, thats not a token thats just natural selection

[opaque sigil]

How do you know, powdered

[pallid flare]

atleast 3

[shell yacht]

tested on my alt

spoiler, my alt has clicked them all. its not posting links yet

[pallid flare]

yet

[brittle garnet]

It's probably because the dangerous ones are blacklisted on this server.

[shell yacht]

im a mod

[pallid flare]

a modification?

[shell yacht]

i can see the deleted links

send them to my alt

[brittle garnet]

I see.

[shell yacht]

hacked accounts are usually inactive about a week b4 posting too

[opaque sigil]

ig that makes sense, spread out the postings of links

If you just made the acct post instantly a lot of places would get 2 in a row, not the best way to catch people

[shell yacht]

also hacks bc servers can filter out baby accounts

[signal sluice]

hey

[shell yacht]

[signal sluice]

hello

[pallid flare]

next you'll say "was there any news"?

[signal sluice]

yes

[pallid flare]

well then

[coarse leaf]

I love this meme

[coarse leaf]

rly? i don't think any link could access your token just from clicking it

[trim estuary]

Pretty sure they could

[fathom peak]

its probably for the best you dont find out the hard way

[trim estuary]

OR

We could click the link and find out

[opaque sigil]

Experimentation is the best way to determine if something shitty will happen

[trim estuary]

[cunning geode]

So why not go ahead and click the link yourself, Tammy

autocorrect wants you to change your name

[fathom peak]

sounds legit

[fiery coral]

@ Wombat

[trim estuary]

Shrapnel Crossbow

[marsh ibex]

If I ever snapped, half the server would be gone

[cunning geode]

Which doom do you hate

[marsh ibex]

All of them

[cerulean sable]

The ones where you kill demons in them

[cunning geode]

There is a correct answer

[trim estuary]

the famous actress Marilyn Mroe

[cunning geode]

Mrilyn Mroe

This chat is a fucking travesty today

[fiery coral]

sounds like a Harry Potter spell

[cunning geode]

Never associate me with hairy potty, you hear me

This is your final warning

[fiery coral]

[cunning geode]

Or else we’ll start the “Wombat snaps” server arc

[fathom peak]

damn this ss discussion looks epic

[pallid flare]

can you two snap at the same time?

[fiery coral]

ooh can we have an arc for each mod snapping

[summer kindle]

hey that's not fair i didn't get one >:(

[cunning geode]

And you never will

[summer kindle]

i know that

[fathom peak]

two mods snapping?
idk
think this server'd die

[summer kindle]

eh

[fiery coral]

Depends on which two mods, probably

[cunning geode]

Both lemons

[pallid flare]

the lemons already admitted that they like more than , you can't help them

[shell yacht]

i already had mine

[fiery coral]

[cunning geode]

Unique on smack cam

[fathom peak]

or smthng else

[fiery coral]

Do I just smack my camera or

[glossy gazelle]

I read that wrong and was about to go wtf?

[cunning geode]

No you get smacked live on camera

[fiery coral]

[cunning geode]

Watch out

[shell yacht]

if that haiku counts as snapping ive been off the rails for a year

[glossy gazelle]

Imagine having a snapped arc

[shell yacht]

actually, tacos still having theirs

[cunning geode]

I think he is in a perpetual state of snapping

[vivid belfry]

Hornet should have a tool that lets her snap

[silver oak]

Snapped sounds like a dumb reality cooking show where you make snacks

[silver oak]

Hornet yass voiceline

Either that or it’s a wushi fingerhold situation

[tawdry valley]

Only when she has all 6 infinity tools though

[silver oak]

[cunning geode]

better luck next time crunchy

[cerulean sable]

says the doom boomer

[silver oak]

crunchy's a new one

I assume because of the taco shell for a head

That begs the question, is TTacco a hard shell taco or a soft shell taco

[cunning geode]

he's a hard shell on the outside, but hes a big softie on the inside

[silver oak]

TTacco is tsundere confirmed

[cerulean sable]

HardShell is my codename but i hate hard shell tbh

[mortal grove]

what the hell

[silver oak]

I agree

[radiant wraith]

A taco to contain the infection

Everyone knows nothing can escape from inside a taco

This taco head knight is a clever design

[cerulean sable]

whenever i tiltt the lettuce falls of

and it makes me sad and reminds me of [REDACTED]

[cunning geode]

goddamn rper

[cerulean sable]

i dont fucking play dungeons and dragons tyvm

[silver oak]

an ally is on fire!

[coarse leaf]

Hes spitting hot fire

[silver oak]

why optimize your life when you can optimize your video games

[frosty kiln]

Do you have black beans in you?

[silver oak]

From a glance, it appears no

[modest night]

Stalking me wtf

[pallid flare]

what

[modest night]

Listen i just gotta 100% it then ill play deaths gambit

[silver oak]

Looks like about 90% lettuce

[marsh ibex]

how is it stalking if I microchip all server members

[mortal grove]

🥸

[cerulean sable]

yeah st alking you mean "SONIA IS NOW PLAYING: RAIN WORLD" on my steam overlay every 10 minutes

[silver oak]

It's not stalking if they don't know you're doing it
For legal purposes this is a joke

[modest night]

Listen you chose to be friends with me you gotta assume the consequences

[cunning geode]

do i get consequences too

[cerulean sable]

im sorry i ccant hear you cuz im too busy popping BIOSHOCK 2 REMASTERED because the fucking game keeps crashing every 10 minutes

[modest night]

And it's untrue i only opened the game like 3 time today 😤

[cerulean sable]

[modest night]

Dont i have you added on steam wombat

[cunning geode]

Unironically rw achievements are so tedious to get but like idk

[pallid flare]

guys how do I give away nitro without sounding really suspicious

[silver oak]

just dm me real quick

[fiery coral]

You don't

We ban you the instant we see the link

[fiery coral]

[silver oak]

you're irrelevant

[pallid flare]

it's for first time subscribers

[silver oak]

oh then nevermind lol

[pallid flare]

I would've taken it if it wasn't

[modest night]

Farewell pyro

[pallid flare]

what

[silver oak]

[fiery coral]

I assume death means little to a necromancer

[mortal grove]

LOOOOOL P6ro sent to the shadow realm

[pallid flare]

gone

[silver oak]

P*ro 🤮

[radiant wraith]

They live in our memories

[fiery coral]

sometimes it's as if I can still hear him

[pallid flare]

hey i'm still here

[silver oak]

it's like it was just yesterday

[mortal grove]

no one trusting pyro ill find someone wholl claim that lonely 3 months nitro

[chilly lichen]

First you have to make sure everyone knows you aren’t a bot

[pallid flare]

but how it sounds like you're trying to scam people

how do I do that? solve a captcha?

[chilly lichen]

Say something like “not a bot: [link]”

[fiery coral]

12 - 7 = ?

[pallid flare]

what a great idea

[chilly lichen]

Everyone will trust you

[fiery coral]

Farewell Lero

[mortal grove]

pyro say something you would say

[pallid flare]

what were my catchphrases again

[chilly lichen]

Ligma balls

[silver oak]

[pallid flare]

[chilly lichen]

You’re mother

you just got pyro'd

I'm a mother?

This nut
That nut

[chilly lichen]

Our nuts

[silver oak]

we are all one nut

[modest night]

I wish discord did something about the scam links

[silver oak]

I hope they try to fix it

[tawdry valley]

They sorta do.

Nitro links have a unique embed; fake nitro links do not

[silver oak]

inb4 google buys discord and the entire site gets plastered with targeted advertising

[tawdry valley]

The issue is this is not actually communicated; and that this also doesn’t help for non-nitro scams

[modest night]

They do tho

Scam links have embeds

[silver oak]

but it's just a link embed

[tawdry valley]

I mean the unique embed for real nitro links

Non-nitro scam links get to keep a shady custom embed. Like a CS knife skin or whatever

[modest night]

Oh i see what you mean

[tawdry valley]

Yeah this

[modest night]

I mean people will click the links regardless anyway

[silver oak]

yeah that's the problem

[radiant wraith]

Good thing I don't need to know this hehe

[silver oak]

here we've gotten good at @ mods ing but that's not the case everywhere, especially in servers with less active mods

[chilly lichen]

“@ everyone”
“Here’s a gift bro”
Nobody on earth is friends with everyone.

[modest night]

Oh yeah we ban like 3-5 scammers a day

[glossy gazelle]

get snailed, lol

[radiant wraith]

It's getting intense

[chilly lichen]

🐌

[pallid flare]

oh yeah that's my catchphrase

[radiant wraith]

I don't know when it will stop

[chilly lichen]

Here he is he found us

We’re doomed

[tawdry valley]

Worried about the incoming spike post SS release

[chilly lichen]

Hah “incoming”

[silver oak]

Yeah simo and benji have their work cut out for them

[modest night]

The admins will deal with it ill be playing ss

[tawdry valley]

Big mega discords usually need mobile confirmation to join for a variety of reasons

[tawdry valley]

Yeah that’s exactly the issue lmfao. The moderator base is gonna be down for the count on release day

[glossy gazelle]

Bold to assume the Nitro scammers won't be buried by people hyped about the game

[tawdry valley]

But the moderators can worry about that. I’ll be playing SS

[chilly lichen]

Bold of you to assume there will even be a release day.
Guys I made the joke congratulate me

[tawdry valley]

People hyped for SS will attempt to avoid spoilers for SS

[modest night]

Some dicks are gonna use the opportunity to post random rule breaking stuff but honestly i think people are just gonna spam for like 2 days min

[silver oak]

The server will have increased activity for months tho

[modest night]

Like for sure people are gonna post spoilers in random channels to ruin peoples experience

[tawdry valley]

This has been the case since the Harry Potter books until avengers endgame.
People post these images with major plot spoilers and the like

[modest night]

I mean real spam

[glossy gazelle]

I mean unless the Mod count doubles it's gonna be hectic for a bit

[tawdry valley]

That too; but that’s always moderatable

[pallid flare]

can't you just close the server for like 2 days

[chilly lichen]

A ton of spam

[silver oak]

slowmode will def be increased

[modest night]

Its gonna be hectic regardless

[warm bone]

Just lock the server for a week

[modest night]

Remember when i got pinged like 60 times because ss wasnt in a direct

[silver oak]

closing the discord on release seems like a very bad idea and a last ditch effort

[glossy gazelle]

ah yes the nuke of teh 15th

[silver oak]

ah yes, december 15th

[modest night]

Even with a 6 min slowmode people were crazy

[pallid flare]

true

[ocean mulch]

There were too many people

[silver oak]

say the line pyro

[glossy gazelle]

get snailed lol

[pallid flare]

hehe

god damnit what the fuck

i'd be snailed if I did it now

[chilly lichen]

Pyro are you friends with the eternal snail

[pallid flare]

the snail gives me power

[chilly lichen]

OH NO

[glossy gazelle]

[modest night]

Honestly i think little can be done during the first week of the release im terms of minimising spam

[silver oak]

It's just gonna bad and nothing can help that other than locking channels down entirely

[modest night]

Oh yea btw

The community will most likely get worse after the release

Bigger so younger

You know

[ocean mulch]

Ewwwww

[silver oak]

If you don't want to be spoiled in the first minutes, I would mute the server before release

[silver oak]

It always happens

[modest night]

Mute the server as soon as the release date trailer drops

Id say

[silver oak]

SS probably won't have it as bad as other games since it's 1) decently difficult and 2) lore heavy but it'll still happen to some extent

[modest night]

Its on a nintendo console so eh

[coarse leaf]

nice, can't wait to get younger

[modest night]

True af

[silver oak]

I'm probably going to be waiting until release, I'm gonna watch the release trailer regardless and it kinda fun to see the chaos

[modest night]

I mean i joined when i was 15 its hypocritical to say that but the server really has changed in the span of a year

[silver oak]

You joined basically a year before me

[mortal grove]

ill celebrate release date trailer

[silver oak]

It's been nearly 2 years for you

[modest night]

Like its good this channel is dead so its not annoying unless something big happens

Youre basically off topic 3 at this point anyway

[silver oak]

Yeah more or less

[cunning geode]

its a unique channel i'll give it that

[glossy gazelle]

I joined roughly a year and a half ago

[cunning geode]

kinda of like a waiting line where everyone camps out overnight

except we've been camping out for a few years

[glossy gazelle]

I’ve seen some stuff happen here

[silver oak]

I kinda like it that way, I know all of the regulars here and people are pretty willing to talk about anything, silksong or not

[modest night]

Im 17 now

[silver oak]

Plus, silksong is cool

[modest night]

Soon not child

[silver oak]

child mod?

[glossy gazelle]

The nuke of 15th, New York Accent Grindle, random physics jokes, and a whole bunch of Silknevers

[silver oak]

I don't remember new york accent grindle

[modest night]

I do

[brittle garnet]

I do

[coarse leaf]

also broke the website twice

[mortal grove]

wow ss disc lore

[silver oak]

When did that happen? I joined in Dec 2020

[cunning geode]

:/

its gross stuf

[coarse leaf]

its discord

[silver oak]

That's still not an excuse

[cunning geode]

synonymous

[pallid flare]

I dont know what i'll do

either stay or mute on release

[cunning geode]

wait 'til people find out what my name is Sonia 👹

[silver oak]

Wombat's name is also sonia

[modest night]

Yoooo

[mortal grove]

on release i will disappear from this server and its other baby servers

[coarse leaf]

good call

[silver oak]

Same
Expect me back in 4-6 business weeks

[marsh ibex]

I’ve always thought of making an alt with a female pfp and name

[cunning geode]

legit all it took back in my days of playing minecraft online multiplayer was the addition of "cat" at the end of my name and people thought i was a girl
Wombatcat

[modest night]

Werent people weird with you too joker

[mortal grove]

dunno what people think my gender is but i am guessing male

[modest night]

Very strange community

[cunning geode]

your gender is lurien fan

[silver oak]

Someone thought I was female for like 3 months

[marsh ibex]

I just got called a white knight

minimod

[silver oak]

I think it was sword nail

[marsh ibex]

et cetera

[tawdry valley]

Guys guys. Idea

[nimble radish]

ah yes queen of jokers

[mortal grove]

LOL what

[silver oak]

yeah ik
I guess I give off female energy?

[marsh ibex]

Nah with a basic chick name. Like anne or lauren or some shit

only for trolling purposes

[modest night]

Damn sorry to all the annes and laurens youre basic

[chilly lichen]

My Mii on my switch is a girl lmao

[marsh ibex]

I meant a traditionally feminine name

like I wouldn’t put the name as thomas

[silver oak]

All the bots on youtube with names like [Girl's name] - F*ck mE

[marsh ibex]

[modest night]

Damn joker is saying that we're tradwives how sexist 😔

[nimble radish]

yeah because that would imply you were a tank engine

[marsh ibex]

true

[chilly lichen]

Just take a male name and add “line” onto the end.
Matt -> Madeline
Jack -> Jacquline
Carl -> Caroline

[silver oak]

They've gotten smarter, now they copy and paste other comments to reply to you're own so it seems less bot-like

[marsh ibex]

Wait not true as in i’m sexist

[nimble radish]

matteline

[silver oak]

carline

[marsh ibex]

True as in thomas the tank engine

[cunning geode]

Joker confirmed misogynist

Too late joker

[marsh ibex]

[silver oak]

Joker is cancelled, 2021 colorized

[coarse leaf]

lioneline

[silver oak]

I saw a guy who's name was pheonix

[marsh ibex]

Finally

[silver oak]

Yes, that is misspelled

[coarse leaf]

thats why my name is just the four letter code to my safe

[summer kindle]

thomasline

[chilly lichen]

Now you’ve got it

[silver oak]

New game: we each change our nicks to the last 4 digits of our social security number

[chilly lichen]

No

[pallid flare]

already did

[silver oak]

Fun game guys

[summer kindle]

ok

[cunning geode]

new game: we each change our nicks to the last 4 digits of Necromancer's social security number

[chilly lichen]

Yes

[silver oak]

guess what it is

[nimble radish]

brb googling what a social security number is

[chilly lichen]

42069

[brittle garnet]

I chose my name when 11 years old as the first thing that came into my mind (we had a lesson about Archimedes in math class that day) and never changed it since

[cunning geode]

if youre out and about in society you present your social security numbers to people so you are allowed to interact with them socially

[tawdry valley]

6816

[coarse leaf]

ikr, imagine not having national insurance numbers

[cunning geode]

its for security of course

[summer kindle]

the thing is i am, shockingly, not in the US

[modest night]

New game: give me your credit card number and expiration date in dms or youre banned

[cunning geode]

nooooo, really?

[pallid flare]

what a surprise

[fiery coral]

Imagine being in the US

[summer kindle]

however i am the unfunniest person in the universe

[pallid flare]

the number one rated salesman

[chilly lichen]

People who make Silksong where jokes

[tawdry valley]

Sure; just lemme ask your mother. (I have been stealing her identity for fiscal gain)

[summer kindle]

GUYS SILKSONG WHEN

[silver oak]

You know, the milky way is the best solar system in the whole world

[chilly lichen]

I

Yea

[tawdry valley]

That would be gusty garden galaxy; stupid

[brittle garnet]

They say "Any news?"

[pallid flare]

come on guys, the game must be near, it's been one year without news!

[nimble radish]

and then I say ?sspsa

[marsh ibex]

you’re baby, you don’t even know how to use credit cards

[brittle garnet]

[pallid flare]

it's been a year, a little fan interaction wouldn't hurt, team cherry

[coarse leaf]

cant wait till 2022, when we can say we havent had news in 2 years

[summer kindle]

[marsh ibex]

[silver oak]

My uncle is team cherry guys

[summer kindle]

aw heck

[silver oak]

People who spam "where's silksong" in youtube chat during the event and then 🤡 in here afterwards

[summer kindle]

i remember milkbong

[silver oak]

wdym remember

[summer kindle]

as in the time someone sent that in chat but it doesn't matter anyways

[modest night]

Does leth still talk here btw

[summer kindle]

i have no clue

[cunning geode]

rarely

you know hes got more work to do

[silver oak]

Last time was about 2 weeks ago

#sk-discussion message

[dawn zenith]

good news to know he's alive

[summer kindle]

leth made it home safe

[silver oak]

Apparently he was on a flight

[spring pulsar]

clearly, the only reasonable explanation is he is heavily playtesting silksong

[opaque sigil]

What's with people and assuming other people are dead

[summer kindle]

he has been freed from the collective hallucination. there is a way.

[silver oak]

TAMMY

[summer kindle]

everyone we need to break out of here

[opaque sigil]

I'm gonna leave it for a day out of respect for Joker/Unique's joke

[silver oak]

Thou hath succumbed

[opaque sigil]

idk who changed my nickname actually

[silver oak]

I would guess joker

[opaque sigil]

Probably

[coarse leaf]

they can do that??

[silver oak]

Yeah they're mods

[opaque sigil]

I mean I can personally attest to their ability to do so

[summer kindle]

mod abuse smh blocked reported and told my mom

[marsh ibex]

It wasn’t even me

[silver oak]

Unique???

[marsh ibex]

I saw the meme in chat and saw your name was changed and I was like “funi”

[opaque sigil]

Probably unique then

[silver oak]

That feels more like a thing you would do than a thing unique would do

But who knows, people surprise you sometimes

[brittle garnet]

Man, I remember the riddles.
Those were the good days.

[marsh ibex]

you rember?
I forgor

[silver oak]

💀

I missed the riddles by about 6 months

[marsh ibex]

I missed seth’s riddle

the best one

[brittle garnet]

I witnessed all of them. Seth's took the longest iirc.

[silver oak]

I was in the server but not following silksong at all

I had just finished HK for the first time and I think I was still processing it

I'm glad I was here for EDGE tho

It's sad that some people have been here for nearly a year and have never experienced news in real time

[nimble steppe]

The riddles were fantastic to be a part of

[silver oak]

I was here for Zal's riddle

[summer kindle]

so was i

[dusk bay]

👍

[potent plover]

I do wonder where the light of the moss grotto comes from

[silver oak]

The same place the light in Kingdom's edge comes from

[dusk bay]

the force

[opaque sigil]

Yeah a lot of the time light just kinda is there, with no clear source

[potent plover]

omg uys light it must be radience

But there will probably be some lore reason as to why

[high hedge]

Same place the music comes from

[dusk bay]

mr mushroom

[opaque sigil]

I mean historically there often hasn't been

[potent plover]

Well, I guess you are right, No game is without lore flaws

unless they are hiding something or something

Just watching silksong trailer+demo in 1080p, It's so much better than 480

[opaque sigil]

You don't say

[silver oak]

Just because it doesn’t explain everything doesn’t mean that’s a flaw

Do you want to play a game in complete darkness?

[potent plover]

for your information I suck at lore

[opaque sigil]

Suspension of disbelief isn't a flaw it's a necessity for fantasy but like who cares

[potent plover]

That might actually be a good idea for a game

[silver oak]

No

No

[opaque sigil]

There is a game like that. The Vale or something, it's called

You play as a blind person

[dusk bay]

noooo

[potent plover]

[potent plover]

deepnest no lantern

[silver oak]

Honestly there’s probably an HK mod where every room is dark

[opaque sigil]

Maybe but HK also has a light source on TK

[chilly lichen]

Tk?

[opaque sigil]

The Knight

[chilly lichen]

Oh

[potent plover]

I wonder if they will ever reach 200+ enemies?

[opaque sigil]

I wouldn't be surprised

[silver oak]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they already have

[opaque sigil]

165 like, what, 22 months ago?

[silver oak]

Fuck it’s been that long

[opaque sigil]

Their having made 35 enemies in that amount of time is very possible

[potent plover]

There is a chance they "finished" the base of all areas and are working on the decorations and secrets, But I think you guys are right.

and plus it's pretty much confirmed silksong will be a decent amount bigger than hollow knight

[opaque sigil]

In terms of pure physical map size yes, it's explicitly confirmed

[potent plover]

and also, we have already seen around 60+ unique enemies

[opaque sigil]

idk about that number but either way we know there to be at least 165

[potent plover]

I counted, Its somewhere around 60 enemies

hang on, I'll do a recount

[silver oak]

There's a document somewhere with all the unique names of the enemies

Because someone came up with dave and we have no idea how to show restraint with a joke

[potent plover]

ok like 50 enemies and 15/9 bosses depending on if you count the citadel suite and steel/void guys

we have seen a pretty vast amount of enemies and bosses

[silver oak]

steel/void guys are def enemies

citadel suite is imo also def enemies but I've seen people say both

[nimble radish]

sharpe is definitely a boss

[opaque sigil]

[potent plover]

this is gonna be hornet is void all over again

[opaque sigil]

Gonna be? It already is

[potent plover]

"sharpe is enemy"

[silver oak]

we've had this argument several times before

[nimble radish]

currently theres no good reason for sharpe not to be void

[opaque sigil]

Nor for him to be void

[nimble radish]

so really it can go either way

[nimble steppe]

Likewise there's no good reason for him to be void

[opaque sigil]

But like one of those is the default assumption and one definitely isn't

[nimble radish]

although I'm hoping on void since it'd be cooler

[silver oak]

void > not void

[potent plover]

not void > void

[chilly lichen]

The Knight is Void

[lament gyro]

Guys they did it

[potent plover]

GMTK Metroid dread video just dropped, gotta go now ( kidding )

[nimble radish]

well yeah it's not a 50/50 shot but theres decent chance he will be based on certain choices about his design

[opaque sigil]

Like

[nimble radish]

take a guess tammy

[opaque sigil]

The strongest evidence is that his face isn't shaded in the art

That's literally the only vaguely reasonable thing

[nimble radish]

~~or rather that it is shaded ~~

[silver oak]

[opaque sigil]

The attack animation is beyond unpersuasive, it's just a black whiplike thing moving around quickly

All black, quick-moving, whiplike things look the same

[nimble radish]

yeah sure

[silver oak]

Lori, I'm not gonna lie your pfp looks like a ghost with a mustache

[nimble radish]

haha

[glossy gazelle]

At least we know for certain Lace isn’t void

[chilly nexus]

Can we make a betting poll/candy counting jar for how many enemies we think will be in SS? I want to guess 267

[opaque sigil]

But like do we

[chilly nexus]

Lace is void like sharpe but covered in silk instead of steel

[chilly lichen]

[opaque sigil]

She doesn't have a shaded face either, she could be void just as much as sharpe if we wanna pretend that's a reasonable possibility

[nimble radish]

lace doesn't have a mostly black body with an unshaded face

[chilly lichen]

Wait are people unironically theorizing that this guy is void? Seriously?

[nimble radish]

that's what makes sharpe seem like he could be void

[opaque sigil]

So

The only thing supporting Sharpe being Void is like three inches of his nose not being shaded, and those three inches could be in his own shadow, or made of the same stuff (flesh) as Lace's face

[glossy gazelle]

Well actually most of the reason people think Sharpe is void (aside from that attack) is a possible connection to Jinn, and her masters (who are presumed to be connected to void)

[chilly nexus]

his nose is a void tendril

[opaque sigil]

Except there's no real reason to connect them

[chilly nexus]

literally like one of the void tendrils from PV

[glossy gazelle]

Mainly because of Steel in the name

[opaque sigil]

So do pale lurker's arms, is she void

Funny how fast black whiplike things tend to all look a bit alike ain't it

[chilly nexus]

truetrue

[silver oak]

are jiji and jinn void?

[opaque sigil]

No

[chilly lichen]

No

[silver oak]

ok

[chilly lichen]

only Hornet is

[glossy gazelle]

No but Jinn’s masters are “most likely” connected to void

[opaque sigil]

And if they were associated with void Jiji probably wouldn't be so goddamn confused about what a shade is

[chilly lichen]

I’m joking please don’t kill me

[silver oak]

no mercy

[nimble radish]

so it's canon when it agrees with your argument?

[brittle garnet]

When was Jiji confused about a shade?

[opaque sigil]

Not really but if the idea was that she was aware of void then the way TC framed that interaction is incoherent

[glossy gazelle]

“This It... A rare It. Has not seen many, so vulnerable, but triumphant. Makes Jinn feel a thing... surprise?
Jinn misjudged... The It is not inferior. Perhaps... different? Different to Jinn. More complete? Different... like masters?” Dialogue when you show Jinn the Void Heart

[opaque sigil]

Yeah that doesn't mean shit

Bardoon compares TK to the pale king but PK isn't made of Void

[brittle garnet]

But it is PKs child

[opaque sigil]

Note that that dialogue doesn't say that the masters are like the Knight, only that they and it are different from Jinn

[glossy gazelle]

I mean that’s not the same argument

[nimble radish]

ok new theory jinn's masters are pk

[chilly lichen]

Yeah so is Hornet and she’s not void

[brittle garnet]

I meant that by comparing characters they imply a similarity or connection between them. Jinn refers to the Knight as if they were similar.

[glossy gazelle]

Bardoon comparing TK and PK is comparing father to child, Void has nothing to do with that

[opaque sigil]

Similar in that they are different from the likes of Jinn, far too vague a comparison to infer relation to void

[opaque sigil]

Bardoon doesn't know TK is PK's child

[brittle garnet]

Yeah but it's like a narrative thing. A hint.

[opaque sigil]

It could just as easily (and more reasonably) be taken to mean that the masters are a Higher Being

[jade canopy]

I think this is the first time (to my knowledge) that ss-discussion has gone so far into lore territory
Never mind there are all the endings talks

[opaque sigil]

Or some sort of unified collective

And if the masters are/use void they're no longer in charge any more

Plus Sharpe's male, and his means of attack is said to be a "proboscis" which is a biological structure

(Void doesn't have those)

[chilly nexus]

truetrue

[brittle garnet]

To be fair we don't really know

[chilly nexus]

maybe 237 enemies

236, 237, or 267 enemies in SS, those 3 are my bets

[opaque sigil]

No, but that's a feeble defense

If the case for Sharpe being Void comes down to "well we don't technically know he's not Void" then, well, maybe it isn't particularly strong

[glossy gazelle]

I’d imagine the backer who made Sharpe would probably know for sure

[opaque sigil]

Although he's definitely wildly inconsistent with all known properties of Void

[brittle garnet]

Well, I don't think it's fair to definitively say Sharpe isn't void.

[opaque sigil]

He's probably not void

[glossy gazelle]

It’s just a wait and see honestly

[nimble radish]

the real answer is they want us to think he is but he actually isn't and it'll be intended as a major plot twist but everyone will be expecting it already

[opaque sigil]

They've been weirdly coy about him yeah

[chilly nexus]

tbf, most characters they've been coy about in SS

[glossy gazelle]

Probably because they’d knew we’d speculate about him

[opaque sigil]

They've been weirdly coy about him

Like notably so

[chilly nexus]

churchkeeper could turn out to be evil to some degree

[glossy gazelle]

I’m guessing he’s gonna be a major foe (since he was intended for the original game) so they probably want to make us focus of him a lot more than usual

[chilly nexus]

i can't wait for the boss fights

but am nervous SoB/ML won't be topped

PV I think they can recapture the essence of though

[nimble radish]

I'm wondering how we're supposed to dodge some attacks

sharpes nose swing, judge judy's fire circles

[chilly nexus]

ye the shade cloak upgrade was so nice gameplay wise :p

[opaque sigil]

idk why they would

[glossy gazelle]

I mean Lace is a fast fight and it’s probably early so that’s any indicator of the boss this time around

[chilly nexus]

honhonhon french accent

[opaque sigil]

I could take or leave an iframe dash

[nimble radish]

seriously how big is sharpe wouldn't his nose swing fill most arenas

[opaque sigil]

He doesn't seem very big

[nimble radish]

I was imagining hornet sized

[chilly nexus]

i'd love it if you can deflect his nose attack/parry it, or chop off his nose by pogoing on it

[nimble radish]

yesss tail cuts

[chilly nexus]

ye bring em back

[opaque sigil]

Especially if this is to scale

[glossy gazelle]

Other boss attack include giant coral being spread around the area (the coral forest boss) and the arena being destructable (robot boss).

[nimble radish]

huh so even smaller than hornet sized?

[opaque sigil]

About the same

[glossy gazelle]

So yeah I think they can one up the HK bosses for the most part

[opaque sigil]

Maybe a bit smaller. He is an assassin after all

[jade canopy]

I wonder if we might get a few bosses smaller than hornet, in hk the only boss which is smaller than the knight would be sly

[opaque sigil]

Lace and Sharpe are smaller than her

[nimble radish]

same height actually

[opaque sigil]

Or Sharpe seems to be smaller

[glossy gazelle]

Lace isn’t smaller by that much

[opaque sigil]

Trobbio and Seth are also pretty small but not smaller than Hornet

[chilly nexus]

boss talk has my excitement reignited

[glossy gazelle]

You are probably counting the nail in that measurement

[chilly nexus]

Graig, break the NDA, leak us some fights, for the people

[nimble radish]

I'm counting his antenna

[chilly nexus]

(jk) ||unless you would, then not jk-ing||

[glossy gazelle]

Oh

[nimble radish]

Graig I'm begging and pleading it's been 50 years give us a crumb of silksong

[glossy gazelle]

Imagine he just posts a pixel of a boss

[jade canopy]

The mods would probably have to put a 10 min slow mod due to all the hype off such an announcement

[opaque sigil]

People brushed off Edge within a few days, you overestimate people's actual appetite for anything aside from a release date

[nimble radish]

just a crumb please graig I'm dying without silksong

my flesh is turning to ash, graig

[chilly nexus]

edge we still come back to tho for sustenance

like the moss-donkeys

I really do wonder now if hornet will have some sort of dodge

she has i frames from her parry, and has a dash, but will there be a movement technique with i frames

[opaque sigil]

Dash and grapple both work as dodges

[chilly nexus]

does the dash have i frames though

i love the idea of using the grappling hook in boss fights

[opaque sigil]

No but grapple will probably have a few at the end, like pogo (though not many)

[jade canopy]

Well she has a counter

[chilly nexus]

ye i mentioned that

[opaque sigil]

And if combat isn't designed around an iframe dash it'll work well without one

[jade canopy]

Yeah me dumb

[chilly nexus]

na all g, reading does be-eth a virtue tho

[nimble radish]

really looks like it will have one with judge judy's flame circles

[opaque sigil]

iframe dash would suck for that attack

You'd need it several times immediately consecutively

If Rad walls came a few frames apart shade cloak wouldn't work would it

[nimble radish]

well maybe it's like pufferfish grimm and it's a jumping simulator

[hollow sedge]

outer wilds is on sale, i should probably get it at this point

[nimble radish]

get it now before it's too late

[tawdry valley]

K

[nimble radish]

who?

[jade canopy]

This guy just killed the chat amazing

[opaque sigil]

You know you can just ignore them

[nimble radish]

yes I know

[opaque sigil]

Anyways, I don't take the last judge screenshot as evidence hornet will have a similar ability to shade cloak because that attack wasn't made for an ability like shade cloak

Using shade cloak to avoid these would suck and the spacing would be a nightmare

Assuming you even have enough time for it to cool down between instances of fire

[summer kindle]

well how fast is the attack even

[nimble radish]

all the more reason playing as the knight would suck for ss

[jade canopy]

All the lore discussions above made me think did TC actually thought of the story for silksong or just went with the flow like in hk ?

[opaque sigil]

Even if it's slow, the spacing would be absurd for an ability like shade cloak

[opaque sigil]

Bit of both

[summer kindle]

i know

[opaque sigil]

And realistically we don't even know that those move, it could be an elaborate floor spike attack

[summer kindle]

oh yeah true

[nimble radish]

ooh

[opaque sigil]

Although ig the one on the far right would be weird

[summer kindle]

ok

[opaque sigil]

This also kinda hints at the possibility of gaps imo

[summer kindle]

yeah, maybe you could get through that

[opaque sigil]

Well I assume it would be wider if you could

[chilly nexus]

going through that would not be fun gameplay

[summer kindle]

with the equivalent of dash, i forgor i haven't touched silksong gameplay vids in a while

[chilly nexus]

i kinda see it as maybe an attack you're supposed to be hit by? like if you don't have X masks going into it, you die kinda thing (tis the last judge after all)

[marsh ibex]

@brisk bolt stop interrupting discussion with your shit posting

[jade canopy]

I don’t think they would telegraph attacks that way, it’s way to small

[chilly nexus]

pls B nicer

[summer kindle]

and that's fun gameplay?

[opaque sigil]

There's also the weird coloration in between the leftmost and second to leftmost pillars

[nimble radish]

I don't like that idea that means hitless isn't possible

[chilly nexus]

ye like, idk what we're gonna get

[marsh ibex]

just so you know

[chilly nexus]

u be nicer too or be banned staba

[opaque sigil]

There's a lot of stuff going on there

[marsh ibex]

yeah

please leave

[summer kindle]

well if she's so ugly then why are there portraits of her anyways

[marsh ibex]

They left

[summer kindle]

amazing

[jade canopy]

For all we know that attack might even be a punish for missing something prior in the fight so it’s really pure speculation

[summer kindle]

that was a truly enlightening conversation

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, maybe the idea is that Hornet's supposed to go hide in the middle and there's enough of a telegraph

[nimble radish]

that would mean you could get hit four times for messing that up

[opaque sigil]

Anyways, my point is that there's not really a reason to equate that to, say, Rad or TL's walls and infer the existence of an identical ability to shade cloak from it

[cunning geode]

looks like Graig has more of a say in the difficulty this time

[opaque sigil]

If Lace can do two masks why can't LJ do four

[nimble radish]

I would expect fire to do double damage so eight

[opaque sigil]

[rapid topaz]

Am I the only one who thinks that this fire sprite is a bit odd

[nimble radish]

wait what's that tool she's got there

[glossy gazelle]

I mean I dunno how many masks Hornet will have in total but doing four masks of damage in a non dream fight sounds like bullshit

[opaque sigil]

I think it was the drill plunge thing

[blazing geyser]

Looks like a drill kinda

[pallid flare]

fire hydrant tool

[nimble radish]

you think there will be dream fights?

[opaque sigil]

drill attack that Hornet can perform with her body, where “she becomes something like a spinning top, and descends towards enemies,” Gibson says

[nimble radish]

I can't see that being the best choice for Judge Judy but whatevs

[blazing geyser]

The issue is that the waves come from his swiping his arms and they seem to go in a full semicircle around him, so you would get hit if you went to him too

[opaque sigil]

If like the third boss in the game can do two-mask damage then later game bosses doing 4 is entirely conceivable

[cunning geode]

it's possible the flames dont move outward from Last Judge and instead form upwards starting from the ground at certain intervals

ok

[opaque sigil]

I mean we don't know that it does that movement

[jade canopy]

That was a really quick snail wow

[cunning geode]

wait who said what I said first?

[opaque sigil]

I did

[opaque sigil]

.

[cunning geode]

yeah i see now

it just seemed like everyone was still questioning if it was a moving attack

[blazing geyser]

You can see the swipe trail leading to it's arm, which imo suggests that he sorta flings his arm up from the ground which makes the flame. Actually looking at it, maybe his other side doesn't get the flame and he sorta just makes a very wide arc that goes a little ways behind him. Would make more sense with the movement than pulsing out fire waves from a swing.

[cunning geode]

because to me it makes a lot more sense if it wasnt from what we know

[rapid topaz]

Yeah but gamers will do them hitless so does it really matters

[opaque sigil]

I mean this would be weird if it was a stationary attack but otherwise yes

[blazing geyser]

Yeah thats why imo they move, and just fizzle out at the walls

And them being stationary also doesnt really make sense since they have that arc, makes much more sense for them to move

[glossy gazelle]

Oh no, I just was saying it would be stupid to take 4 hit of damage on a fight where you can lose rosaries.

[opaque sigil]

Would it really

[glossy gazelle]

Especially if the difficulty is supposed to be similar to Hollow Knight

[opaque sigil]

Hornet has a broken heal ability

Dealing four masks isn't so big a deal when Hornet can heal 3 in the blink of an eye

[rapid topaz]

I don't expect dream fights but probably revenge fights, like "Huh you beat me but I'm not dead yet"

[glossy gazelle]

And outside godhome there’s only one boss that deals 4 masks of damage. Grey Prince Zote, which is a dream fight where you can’t lose geo

[blazing geyser]

I imagine Hornet could also use tools which grant invincibility or something

[opaque sigil]

The main thing preventing healing during fights in HK isn't low Soul, it's not having the time to use it. Hornet doesn't have that restriction

[glossy gazelle]

Well Hornet’s heal can not only be interrupted causing it to fail, but also has leas i frames

[opaque sigil]

Her heal is fast enough that doing it without being interrupted is relatively easy

[nimble radish]

theres one confirmed return fight

[opaque sigil]

TK had to sit there for an hour and a half

[glossy gazelle]

Yeah Lace 2, (the fight within the flowers)

Considering Hornet was fought twice in the original game it’s a neat parallel

[opaque sigil]

Sharpe might have multiple fights

[glossy gazelle]

We don’t know that for certain though

[opaque sigil]

That's what "might" means

[cunning geode]

no it means strength, smh

[opaque sigil]

One Backer boss in particular has become a major rival character to Hornet, a mysterious Assassin Bug submitted by Jaspal Boodram.
Considering that he's presented as a rival he could be fought multiple times

[glossy gazelle]

It would be nice to have more harder rematch fights

Even thought facing Hornet 2 originally made me want to die

[nimble radish]

that said it would be a little unfair for a backer to get 2 bossfights

[glossy gazelle]

Well how much did the backer contribute

[opaque sigil]

[nimble radish]

same as the other boss tier backers

[tribal merlin]

you fight him alone, you beat his ass, he comes back with his buddies

[glossy gazelle]

I mean Sharpe’s fight initially probably would have been more distinct then the other backers already considering he was meant to be fought against both The Knight and Hornet

[opaque sigil]

I mean Carmelita gets a whole subarea

[tall hinge]

SAME it took me like an hour to beat her

[glossy gazelle]

So I wouldn’t be surprised if Sharpe got special treatment

[nimble radish]

wait he was?

[opaque sigil]

Plus since he wasn't in HK I wouldn't be surprised if TC thought it was fair to give him a little something extra

[opaque sigil]

Presumably. Some unnamed assassins were, Sharpe is inferred to be one of them

[rapid topaz]

well rematch often depends on how strong your gear is, at this point. I remember beating her easily because I grabbed a lot of upgrades before (not even intentionnaly, I've just done the fight late enough). I suppose Silksong will follow this idea too, so bosses will be more or less difficult depending of your playthrough

[glossy gazelle]

I had a coiled nail by this point and I still struggled

[coarse leaf]

they could probably justify it by giving other bosses more interaction in other ways, like dialogue

[nimble radish]

the ones in hk won't get anything extra

[rapid topaz]

I had like 8 Masks and every spells upgrades, almost every notches too. I agree this fight is tough regardless

[coarse leaf]

oh yh

[opaque sigil]

Like I said TC could give the backer bosses in SS something extra as compensation for not including them in HK and making the backers wait a few extra years

There's definitely reason to

[coarse leaf]

yh that would make sense

[glossy gazelle]

Well the backers for ss had to wait longer

[nimble radish]

no they didn't

[opaque sigil]

To see their bosses realized? How have they not?

[nimble radish]

nah it was a half baked joke about there being no backers for ss

not anymore

[opaque sigil]

[tribal merlin]

kickstarter is long over

[blazing geyser]

Or he could be 2

[tribal merlin]

please don't

[rapid topaz]

I want zote as a boss I think this would be funny and original

[opaque sigil]

From an objective standpoint idk if one could consider Zote a rival to the Knight

[nimble radish]

one of the best bosses is zote

[opaque sigil]

Zote is a boss and then Bretta's delusion of him is also a boss

[rapid topaz]

I know I was also joking, I was imagining someone backing to make their own boss

but it already exists

nevermind

[opaque sigil]

Not a hard boss, mind, but a boss

[nimble radish]

he's more of a boss fakeout

[rapid topaz]

One of the few bosses who didn't made it to godhome too

[nimble radish]

no he's there

[opaque sigil]

Eternal ordeal

[rapid topaz]

Oh I forgot

[opaque sigil]

Or should I say eternal ordeal etc

[charred cloak]

any theories?

[opaque sigil]

Plenty

[opaque sigil]

Time to find that message and make it 58

[rapid topaz]

I wish silksong has this kind of hidden breakable walls such as eternal ordeal access so people will spend dozens of hours hitting everything

[nimble radish]

it's been sitting at 56 for a while cos someone unreacted

[opaque sigil]

ok not the choice I thought I'd be presented with

Now it's 57

[nimble radish]

[chilly lichen]

Haha

[pallid flare]

well now you have

[chilly lichen]

You gave me the opportunity

[opaque sigil]

Check again

[chilly lichen]

Still 58

[nimble radish]

since I got the screenshot already it really doesn't matter

[opaque sigil]

Well it wasn't a few seconds ago and I'm done checking so deal with it

And the message having 58 reacts is still the message having 57 reacts

If I have three pencils I therefore necessarily have two

[chilly lichen]

Mwahahaha

[nimble radish]

man the good old days

[opaque sigil]

Hardly good

[rapid topaz]

[opaque sigil]

But that was the mini-nuke not the full one

[nimble radish]

I mean it was good when all the fun people were active

[opaque sigil]

It's been like that for a while

It was like that then too

[rapid topaz]

Ss-discussion will revive on 2024 for the release date

[tough glen]

asking for the release date, you mean

[rapid topaz]

true

I just remember last year, every 2 monthes or so there was always something for people to admit silksong's releasing soon

[coarse leaf]

that kinda just lasted up till e3, its been more quiet recently, but probably will pick up again when tga comes

[polar olive]

someday well be playing silksong, and the days of uncertainty will be behind us and forgotten

[glossy gazelle]

I’m not sure why people think SS will be at the TGA

[tribal merlin]

they just pretend to think it'll be at tga

[opaque sigil]

And then people see them pretending and think it’s likely

[glossy gazelle]

Ah the folly of assumptions

One man thinks an event is likely and suddenly loads of people believe the same thing

[jade canopy]

Hum

So maybe I can start my own trend

December Nintendo direct ?!?

[dusty nimbus]

Too early mate

[opaque sigil]

You jest but this effect literally led to people expecting shit on a date somebody dreamed

[nimble radish]

haha

[dusty nimbus]

You have to take into account that you're wasting a whole month of pointless false excitement

[coarse leaf]

only works if the event is sooner than the next closest real event

[dusty nimbus]

Hello people I recognize

[pallid flare]

hello chaos

[coarse leaf]

hey

[dusty nimbus]

What games have you played recently that where fun?

[ocean mulch]

Hollow Knight

[dusty nimbus]

Oh neet a time traveler

[coarse leaf]

pong
