but that was cut
i’m excited in the fact that silksong is going to be extending on the stuff in deepnest
Ok and
that explains it I guess
it s not canon
̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿'̿'\̵͇̿\з= ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) =ε/̵͇̿/’̿’̿ ̿ ̿̿ ̿̿ ̿̿
I’m saying it could be possibly that spider if we have no other suspects since it’d have to be pretty big to control all those puppets at once
it'll be extending weavers, not sure how much herrah will be a theme and even more doubtful about the involvement of deepnest
dont mind me
the weavers and all that stuff is going to be added into silksong, i hope it’ll have an explanation on what happened there
yeah
pffft
any release date gueses?
“None of us could catch and eat Sly so we moved away.”
none of us have any sort of clue
well, if fireb0rns video hasn’t been disproved, that’s the best guess we’ve had in awhile
I understand jsut asking when people think it will come out
it's a possibility but that doesn't mean much
~~tomorrow
~~
lol
Always could
i like to believe around february of next year, it seems about right ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i like to bealive never (starts criyng)
If you say it comes out tomorrow everyday, eventually you’ll annoy everyone be right.
lol
feb next year would make t the craziest month in a LONG TIME. Elden ring, halo infinite co-op, horizon, maybe even splatoon and then silksong!?
hell yeah
could be
why not add one more
oh yeah and destiny expansion
Do yall wanna know my guess?
Also maybe BotW2
but you'll also be wrong much more
yeah sure
they just accidentally deleted the files and they’re hoping we’ll forget about it one day
(we are not)
Well then they’re wrong
never
i’m telling my children about this game god damn it
it’ll be a story among men for generations
I was gonna use :tuksus: but then I realized I had no nitro 
what about women?
lol
I must know why is elder who such an idiot?
old man it's not breakfast I dont want pankakes
cuz, he just fills the arena full of pancakes, how can you expect someone with that many pancakes constantly on the ready to be smart?
god damn, and he just throws them around
if anything we can all at least agree gpz is worst boss
he could just serve them on a plate like a normal person. nope, gotta chuck them at me at high velocity’s until one of us fuckin dies
absrad
you put milk THEN cereal AND THEN the boul
yeah
yeahhhh, i agree, although i don’t think there’s a generally awful boss in game
At least absrad is a little bit fair
elder who did this but worse

even rad markoth isn’t that bad
gpz is ten times more fair
Ok nevermind markoth is worse than zote
it took me more tries for radiant gpz than markoth
nah, cuz zote makes those annoying sounds, which makes it even more awful
markoth at least has cool lore n stuff
and he kills you by stumbling
markoths arena looks nice
but the home owner's association decided to take his floor away
zote? no. zote doesn’t even have a real backstory. he just yells at you when he saves you, and has the most dialogue for no reason
no one asked for zote to have the 57 precepts
preset 58: DONT SAVE ZOTE
self explanatory
markoth was just in debt because he’s a ghost and can’t work, so he has no moneys. don’t make fun of him
no the home owner's associatio ntook away his floorcause he can fly not because he is dead
that too
i can understand why markoth doesn’t have a floor either way
zote? no, he doesn’t deserve giant pictures of him, and other zotes constantly surrounding a maiden in distress
again, correct
he wasn’t even chosen by the godseekers to be a god, he forced his way in there
his discription is “false god conjured by the lonely”
aka, not a real god 😩
Zote slander in the chat? I will not abide by it.
But if he can force his way in doesn’t that mean that he is actually more worthy and more powerful? Zote alone almost made it in with the eternal ordeal and just one bug worshiping him was enough to make him a god false though he may be.
Day 1000 coming up I see
neat..... i'm more awaiting the 12 months without news
i think it was less of a “force his way in” and more of a, he’s so insignificant no one noticed him 
How could you not notice such a butchering idiot. They guy was always squeaking and moaning
But you have a point
The best comparison that can be made is that the eternal ordeal is like a song stuck in the godseekers head
That song specifically being zotes incessant pride/speech/ignorance
Notice the existence of arena stands, but no spectators
EO is probably noncanon, it can happen when Zote's dead (and he died before godseeker even awoke)
So he's not intruding or anything
Tell me EO is non canon ever again and I’ll toss you in there until you get 1000 kills myself
Tell me how Zote managed to slip in there despite being dead and never attuned with the godtuner 
Maybe, but it’s infinitely more funny if zote isn’t wanted in godhome, which in the case of zote may be the most plausible choice
Afterglow residual ignorance
He is literally zote. By the power of meme he made it in with the strange power he has. Besides we don’t know for a fact that zote dies if you leave him. His head isn’t there when you come back just his nail and cloak. So you have a zote desnudó running around somewhere he’s not actually dead
that looks a lot like his head to me 
he isnt looking that great
Doesn't get more dead than that
Nah what he did is he made something that looked like his head and ran away
Like those guys who tried running away from Alcatraz or whatever
Actually he could’ve been completely evaporated and obliterated
Equally dead
Is silksong out yet? Are there any news? For a brief moment i saw someone sending a youtube video that looked like something new and or semi importang
?sspsa
Reminder: The latest news for both Hollow Knight and Silksong is in #hk-announcements.
Check the pinned messages for more information, including a FAQ. 
Well it looked like a half interesting speculatory video.
I doubt it would get put in the announcements channel
why would it
No, not since December 31st, and also probably not important
Does someone have that one gif of Silksong dodging
Ay at least its something
No it isn't
look in #hk-meme I am sure they have something
like the gif where silksong is dodging some white thing
Well it doesnt really fit the definition of nothing
It's not news nor is it meaningful info
Well it doesnt really fit the definition of news either
Well its at least not completely uninteresting sometimes
this server is run by people who playtest for the game. Anything put in #hk-announcements is direct information about the game series
Thats pretty cool
sure
👹
Riiiiight
😉
Remember when some of y'all used to do that renamed exe trick and get pinged randomly for it 
Whatever you say wombat
ya know, back when a bunch of the mods had discord saying they were playing silksong
oh yeah
I do. That was around the time this chad called No Quirrel With You was active
hold on I am going to do that again
Like this
…yeah
was gonna say you were missing the Hollow Knight: but you fixed it tammo
Guess who just became a totally real SS playtester

Zoteboat was another one people did
They just couldn't say no. Because I hypnotized them
isn't ari a robot how did you hypnotize him
Damn not all of sspsa fits in your status
hacked
Ari's a cyborg not a robot smh
hacked and hypnotized
He was the easiest to break
No I'm not wth
Is zoteboat like a meme or some leaked working title of the threequel?
It's a meme
Meme
Good to know.
TC isn't planning on doing a third HK game, at least not soon
There was mention of hollow knight 2 in a dev ama on some website
I think it was still reffered to as the hornet dlc back then
Find the quote then
I gotta find the video where i saw it first tho
And they've said that they're moving on after SS anyways
“Well, we have that non-Hollow Knight game that is due to be made,” Gibson says. “It’s been left to lapse, which is just fine. But I think we’re both excited to jump into that.”
for the best honestly, dont want to be stuck in a trap of bug games
Bugs are pretty cool
yeah but so are foxes
Is Tammo really a play tester or is that be for drama?

Eh?
Foxes are pretty low tier
"Guess who just became a totally real SS playtester"
Tone doesn’t convey as well with text:)
didnt mark it as fake 
And I don’t notice cursive
If you read like two messages ahead it'd be explicit
Explicit? Tammo smh my head no swearing allowed
Forgive me for being excited:)
Isnt the third Commercial team cherry game supposed to be a 2d zelda esque dungeon crawler with furries or something?
Well its probably not gonna be a melee centered metroidvania or a metroidvania in general
what? furries?
A stealth centered metrodivania would be just as nice
Well idk what else the name fear less fox might be reffering to
i mean, without context, what does hollow knight really imply?
mfw animal in the name means furry somehow
A walking armor suit
if the game's protagonist isn't a fox I'm rioting
An atheist warrior
It could be a boar
it could be a foxglove, instead of an animal, its a flower game
Whats a foxglove
It’s a glove where you put your fox
a pretty flower, look it up, bees love to go in them
Well idk the title seems pretty misleading
what is a sans sherma
Sherma but sans
another of Amina's cursed creations
Look at the pfp 
blame jonny actually, he thought of it first and i just let my hand lead me
it'll give me a bad time
you wanna have a bad time
yes i do
Its like if someone made a game called "homunculus eats a banana" and its just a video of a russian guy welding while screaming profanities
If we get to make choices as Hornet, I'm sure Sherma will hear this a lot
is the russian guys name homunculus
I dont think you can eat a banana while welding and constantly screaming profanities at the nearest wooden table
Why not
you're simply bad at multitasking
Sounds like a skill issue
Then it wouldnt be considered screaming right? It would be muffled mumbling
you scream into a pillow, you dont muffled mumble into a pillow
you dont know how to scream while eatimg a banana?
Clearly you've never been around a baby if you think it's impossible to scream with food in your mouth
what if homunculus happens to be allergic to bananas and is screaming at his horrible choices?
Plot twist
Also You gotta the the the darn mask to not go blind
And what kind of responsible human being would let a homunculus go near welding equipment
Hell make a banana holder in the mask
This isn't a homonculus it's a guy named homonculus
thats what hes welding, a new mask to eat both 1 of his 5 a day and weld at the same time without the risk he's currently taking due to his unnatural love of fruit
its even more tragic that hes allergic to it
Will his hubris strike him down 
What kind of sick twisted person names their child homunculus
another tragedy in his already sad life
The welding man is probably named something like Ivan, Alosha or Dmitri
I feel like leaking releases date is kinda meh. It ruins suprises
placeholder at best
Im sure they mean a leak with more validity
Well its still something
Not anything material
More material than nothing
Or the weird conspiracy charts people make to predict the release date based on cosmic radiation or something along those lines
oh like hk was made in x years therefore x years since silksongs supposed start date is when itll be released?
White Butte Street henderson nevada go there its my adress
This is a bad metric for several reasons
Or the last letter of each of leths discord messages converted to numbers gives you the number of millenia between the beggining of the universe and silksongs release
oh wait i did some of that 
twas all a jest i assure you
yeah i know, its just something ive seen a lot
Its not accurate probably because of the games scope
Reasons why development may be shorter than HK's: They didn't have to switch engines, they have preexisting code to work off of, they have more experience, they don't have to make dlc
Reasons why development may be longer than HK's: The game has higher quality art and animation, things feel more dynamic within the world, the game is almost certainly going to be bigger, if not a lot bigger, with more enemies, more areas, more bosses.
Programing the background chains to not look terrible could be a hassle
Without news we will never know....
I Wonder if there will be more physics based abilities or platforming.
That harpoon looks physics based
Like imagine the path of pain but all the platforms are attached to the celing by chains So they sway around
That sounds like it could be horrible really easily
I hope the ledge grab is gonna be like in Rayman 1 on the ps1
Not being Able to cancel it frame one into a jump would be kinda disapointing
I hope TTacco shows up so he can tell us what the unoriginal jokes are
im sure we could imagine what they are
for a sec I didn't recognize you amina
yeah, its me unfortunately
the hat is the most recognizable part of your pfp
rlly? i only wore a pumpkin last month
were you nicked?
not that i recall
oh wait yes i was with the password thing, then i changed back to amina for a bit
I've changed my nick a few times but I've kept the "Necro" bit the whole time
And also I've had this pfp for like 8 months now
trobbio
oh yes i remember
I've had this name for over a year
If you ignore all the times I briefly changed it to Frodo or Evil Fordo
And the short impersonation attempts
I dont know you by any other name
necro b old guard
Not really tbh
I only joined less than a year ago
Well actually I joined over two years ago
But I only started being active in December 2020
so you're kinda old guard.
Real old guard is fights the dark
Joker is real old guard
the fact that you still remember fights the dark is amazing to me, just a name at this point 
discord user

wait you wanted me to be more specific? 
how many pepe emotes do you have on hand
Morning SilkBuds ™
what timezone you in?
ah, good morning to you
a orange
i- i dont understand
an orange
an orange
🟠
“Shut up simo you fucking dork”
Also hey Zal good to see ya
That's true but doesn't explain much
Hiiii

I wonder if Cuphead and studio MDHR will release another announcement this year (their last announcement was that the cuphead dlc was delayed to 2021). They could also be at TGA though! fingers crossed
Who knows. MDHR has not said anything yet so maybe the DLC DLC will be done this year. On the other hand maybe Studio MDHR took some cues from a certain stone fruit themed team that lives in a place that lost a war to Emus
Nice Pfp.
And to you as well my good sir
Thanks
HORNET
TENROH
everyone
Ah yes, Plum studios i know them
No Team Cherry
Oh

Never met her
Cherry? I hardly know 'er!
DLC got too big now its a sequel 
Cuphead Milksong
Do you guys think all the endings of hollow knight will tie in with silksong?
yes, in the sense that it won't reference any of them and none of the details of any ending will be relevant to the plot
maybe in small subtle ways
most likely not at all
What about the 2 godmaster endings
does not at all imply something else?
like we will get some call backs to the events of HK but that's about it
God Master ending are just as canon any other
there are some things that HAVE to happen in every ending (unless you consider dying an ending), most pressingly Herrah's death
not likely, the game is full of player choice events. to reference them is to canonize them
though they may give us some hints of what to look for like void and flowers
but does TK visist Hornet there? not always
yeah but I'm sure hornet knows about Herrah dying without talking to the knight
that's the kind of thing that might actually be brought up in conversation with former members of her nest
Like the masters which will be in Silksong have ties to the void
yeah, but whether or not TK shows up with her there is
black body ≠ void
it is possible but rn we dont know
I was just wondering, I didn't wanna have to beat something hard like the pantheons for silkong to make sense
and The delicate flower SEEMS like it will be important to Silksong's lore with Pharlooms flowers and seed theory
hk makes sense without pantheons, none of the endings are even really good endings
Who does not know about the masters and Silksong?
do I need to explain what Jiji and Jinn say
if you want the best info for going into Silksong just read Jiji and Jinn's lines on the wiki they tell us a lot about Silksong's lore

"Ooohhhh. My masters would be impressed...
Rare it is for one to come to terms with their regrets so completely, yet you seem to have managed it.
What darkness must one wade through to achieve such a thing?"
@shell yacht how do they not make sense
Also why was your original name powdered water
" Brand ...A King, the tiny It becomes. Jinn knows that mark, but cannot bow.
Jinn's masters are other... minds other... Not order. Not order, they seek."
its just a joke to mess with people
Gotcha
"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?"
What about the powdered water
who the heck are these masters
only this first line is relevant
whover commands the steel bois
its just a joke to mess with people, it does exist
Well yes but who are they what is their connection to void

surely you've heard of thick water
also FEW things in hollowknight have real world names. Burlap was changed to cloth. But Steel gets called out by name?

STEAL!
well yeah theyre making it in pharloom it seems
burlap is also soecific, but its material apparently doesnt exist in the bug world

you get the idea. Except for pickles according to the physical wanderers journal they are canon

I don't think the steel assassins or steel are necessarily native to pharloom
sure, steel assassins are there, but they're for hire by nature
They may be

and I think it's much more likely that the smokerock is being used to smelt brass for the fuckton of bells everywhere
like they just may be a faction against higher or pale beings

Yes Assassin can mean for hire...but probably not in this case
Sharpe's description does not say he is in it for the money.....He is proabably in it for the mets baby
All the citizens getting blasted on smoke rock 
I hate this. Assassin's kill people and people think theyre cool and shit. But when I do it as a hobby I get called a murderer and a psychopath
Well one's a- yeah what Vectors said
"put mum on the phone"
Look, Its really hard to find work right now. Everyone wants you to have "experience"
Its literally not hard to find work at all right now.
Heck, im sure assassins are just as understaffed as everyone else
but to find money it is
also disturbingly true
only a bit more time before 1000 days, i'm so hyped
its so weird to me, having grown up in a time when "the job markets really bad rn" was basically the go to phrase that we can just say "you can literally walk into a place and walk out with a job, places are so understaffed"
"We feel the pain of a life time that's seen a thousand days"_ Unknown
couldn't know, can't work yet
-Sun Tzu, The Art of Silksong
No it's from Dragon Force 😛
Dragon Force, The Art of Silksong
except that rn i could have three jobs and not afford a single bedroom apt
Having a job is not the same as having money


True let alone enough money for the future
Sinksong is no coming
minestrone song, everything but the sink
You can get all the jobs you want, but they wont give you a fair pay, so no one takes the jobs
Were in a purgatory
I mean there’s so many things that factor into how much money you make from jobs and job applications
So it’s not really indefinite
Reject money embrace silk
i killed sent hornet is all i gotta do now is to fight the dreamers? wrong chat
sorry
average salary change is much lower than rate of inflation though, so majority of people are kinda screwed
Eat the rich
Devour the wealthy
Eat sly
why else would all the enemies have geo on them
Videogame mechanism
“Why does the moonlord from terraria drop a dolphin shaped Gatling gun”
good to know silksong will have less enemy recolours and resprites
Because dolphin shaped Gatling guns are nice things to have
true
Side note; some enemies in Silksong in fact do not drop prayer beads
So this is something that’s been addressed (and is thankfully thus not a lore item)
that's because they'll instead drop two dolphin shaped Gatling guns each
Pog
Is silksong a prequel or a sequel?
unknown atm, personally i think a prequel - but not necessarily a distant one

But the possibility is very high, so it can be
let's hope
It’s the best guess we’ve got
Yeah, you are both right
Colleseum of fools 2.0?
could also be a grimm troupe style thing
And also no the leak is probably wrong, it isn’t fake but there is no reason for that date to mean anything regarding the actual release of the game
Hmm. Grimm has a bit different colour and l dont think Team Cherry will recur with troup in ss
never said specifically the grimm troupe itself, just perhaps something in a similar style
if they were making another grimm troupe style thing, they wouldnt do just a different shade of red if it wasnt the actual troupe
good point, more likely is something akin to the colosseum
Ok so I'm like
Conflicted
I don't want to rush team cherry but at the same time
||I want the silk||
You haven’t even finished everything in it yet
Trust me; the wait can be worse on your soul
I have finished enough
Eternal ordeal?
Actually
If I remember correctly then yes
Though I might be remembering that incorrectly, it's getting 57 right?
yeah
You’ve done all that’s worth doing then
Try beat the record of 4 000 zotes
Looks more like an opera thing
why not both
WE WANT SILKSONG!!!
If we chant loud enough, silksong will release sooner
No
eh
every second we converse is another second closer to silksong
though it would also pass if we didn't converse
but it is a way to pass the time
so there's that
Even if we don't converse we will be closer, but the distance is unknown
Didnt know that team cherry was my neighbour

Alright. I understand, that TC will not give us any dates. But can we know if at least 50% of the game is finished?
I mean. Main mechanics, main locations. The storyline
Just to know, that the game is already in good shape and from now on will only expand. So we don't have to worry about development process
Quantifying things like that is easier said than done
We've seen a lot of progress already, that should be assurance enough that they're being effective
how would you calculate percentage
Arbitrarily 
Well we can say that’s likely, though what counts as a % is different for everyone, kind of simular to hk % as in some things don’t count towards completiton
I mean, not exact numbers of course. More of, when game is already playable, fun and have all intended mechanics, it can be considered a half way through
"playable" and "fun" are subjective
What we might consider to be playable TC might not, because it's not what they want the game to be
I completely trust TC in this department
Yeah, also we don’t know how tc actually makes silksong, as in they could make areas one by one or make a bunch all at once
I love this ant lady thing
Carmelita's amazing yeah

I just hope we don't have to kill her 
I think the ant tribe is going to be one of my favs 👉🏻👈🏻
Barnacles are good too but I love me some flowy shit in a design
I don't think I really have a favourite area or faction from what we know
It's just all so good.
As well you should be
Going into cryostasis ping me when ss is out
It's out
Bro you had me unfreeze myself for a lie
You have been bamboozled
Freezing myself again
Y u have to be so cold
Hello silksong nation
Hornet got destroyed by GER
Isn't it about time for a small dev update?
I really hope they're preparing something, even if it's small
And please don't be a magazine article full of spoilers behind a paywall like last year
But wouldn't a blog post/update also have spoilers?
I doubt it
the paywall was only like 2 quid for a digital copy tho
Less info about the game itself, and more info about the development progress
I feel like at that point they'd also show screenshots just because we waited so long
it seems they're trying to keep the release date quite hidden, so idk about development progress, maybe just more info on the game in the next update
if its not already a release announcment that is
god id be willing to settle for any kind of announcement even if all it was just “ lol hey, team cherry here, we’re still alive”
There is no release date. They can't keep something that doesn't exist hidden.
what about that one ( i think) fireborn video covering the supposed possible leaked release date?
Do you expect silksong???
i meant if they gave development updates it would be a pretty good indication as to when it might release, not an actual release date
A recent one, or older? In either case, those leaks are most likely placeholder dates.
true they are probably placeholder dates, but its still something to consider ig
Nah, it's not.
not even a placeholder rly, just a testing database apparently
I really wouldn't mind if the game still needs another year or more , but updates are needed at this point.
ah nvm then
yea same
yh, i reckon if we dont get a christmas update we could probably expect a release quite close by, jan or feb maybe
of the stuff shown in the trailers and things weve seen so far of ss whats yalls favorite thing or what interested you the most 
ant golem
YEAA that was super epic
having a huge boss will be rly cool
I hope there's a parry mechanic
probably, cant remember if it was in the demo, but i imagine there is
im p sure there was a parry mechanic shown in the trailer?
ik lace can def parry
i literally have the lace and hornet fight as my banner rn LMAO
hornet does have a parry
it was in one of the trailers
Yeah i think i saw her doing the parry animation in the citadel
yeaa
oh yh in the trailer
the most important thing I'm looking forward to is the map and how large it's gonna end up being by the time the game releases
She has the parry ability as well as the standard parry mechanic
We see it in the Seth gif
whats the difference?
Ability is the active silk-costing ability, the HK parry was when you struck at the same time as a nail/weapon wielding enemy and got iframes
oh right
ig Hornet might not get iframes, we don't see her have them in the gif, but idk why she wouldn't, it seems to work the same otherwise
maybe
if we dont get christmas update then i'll lose all hope
we had hope?
nah jk
where are we on the 1000 days thing?
thank god I got an Xbox and I'm very effectively distracted from the Silksong anticipation for the time being
8 days left
the gamepass has been keeping me busy
I mean it would be nice, but I don't think TC cares at all about the 1000nd day
work has been keeping me busy 
yh ik lol, was just wondering anyway
Would be cool
I wonder if you’ll be able to parry parries or if there won’t be enough time to

i hope the final boss of silksong is as cool as radiance or emotional like thk
The final boss of Silksong is going to be the Shade Lord and THK, Quirrel, and Pale King will be fighting alongside Hornet.
8 days till the 1000th day since the reveal?
Yeah I guess so
DSSN says it’s day 991
DeeSS Nuts?
Probably
i wonder how many people are expecting news at day 1000
atleast someone will
Probably more than two.
I’m sure you’ll come up with something special
Actually it might be funnier if you did literally nothing
Just a totally normal news episode
there's so much arararuarua could do

what did u plan on doing when we get news anyway? just say there has been news or go over the news?
panic and scream
I've coped with the fact that there will be no news, and there is no silksong
thats a given
It's a running gag team cherry set up. We'll just get crowsworn instead
hopium
Everyone’s gonna do that
You get to panic, you get to panic, everyone gets to panic!
im bored so i had to dust off ss discussion
Final boss of Silksong is Shade Zote after he becomes Void
Absorbing void is the 58th precept
dizzy face
Welcome back to the most innovative channel you’ve seen in years!
Highly unlikely but there may be some references
I wonder if anything about the void will be referenced
It's possible but I'm assuming it'll be a minor thing if so
Somethings gonna tie in
Hornet exists. Weavers exist.
Silksong isn't a completely different universe
Sharpe is literally made of void
TC is adamant making ss mostly disconnected from hk
You right, it’s in a separate kingdom
Hoo boy here we go

Simple answer: no
Like Tammo said, the only connections to hk would probably be the weavers and hornet herself
Fine then
Will silk song release to linux and mac or windows only
Sharpe is made of silk

Hornet also references her having tools in Hallownest and may comment on relearning abilities or smth
?
If HK is on all of them silksong will most likely be as well
It's gonna be on switch I'm pretty sure
It's on the eshop, obviously not out yet
Will it release soon to ps5 and xbox series s/x?
Probably not soon
we don't know
Wait it’s actually in the eShop?
Yes @trim estuary
It may eventually move to ps and xbox but probably not super quickly
They put it on the eshop in 2018
You can't buy it, just there
You don’t have to censor the e
Silksong is living rent free in the eshop
Is there a chance ss release day one on xbox gamepass pc?
xbox gamepass probably doesn't do new releases
It’s probably going to be out on Xbox One and PS4 too
I dunno how many times I can say "we don't know"
it'll probably go on pc and switch first
since iirc those were the most successful platforms
or maybe im wrong
Only if ss release in 2022
Hollow knight only released a year after pc on switch didn't it?
Yeah PC and Switch are priorities
then the other platforms will probably follow
Not necessarily, a lot of people still have Ones/4s and probably still will then
But will the companies that make the consoles still be adding games to them
A little bit more than a year but approximately yes
Sharpe isn't Void??? Bruh y'all are bad at lore.
Will ss be harder than hk?
Maybe
It's intended to be equivalent
Boss staggers are faster
SS boss staggers are way more forgiving
But your healing is also faster
SS staggers aren't cancelled by hitting the boss
Some bosses will also be faster than some really fast hk ones
Also it turns out I was wrong about Sharpe's multiple fights being infered it's straight up stated he'll be fought multiple times
So yeah, that'll be interesting to have multiple fights against two different opponents
Boss fights may be made easier by bosses staggering more often and Hornet's bind being instantaneous but that can be compensated for by them being faster and/or platforming sections and enemy encounters being more difficult.
Alright, probably a question that gets asked a lot
If you were to make a guess, how far would you think silksong is in development right now
There's no good way to quantify that
Well yeah Lace is relentless, and has some flourish designed to repel tools and catch you off guard
It's already finished they're just waiting for the right time to release it.
How do you know that though?
Because my uncle works at TC
Kirb you should know by now that you need the /s 

So in terms of designing the framework, layout, enemies, and gameplay I guess they are close to finishing, however that doesn't account for bug fixing and system exclusive problems they could run into.
But that defies the purpose
They’re finished with all the benches and they make things in chronological order so I think playtesting, bug fixing, and polishing is happening right now
Oh yeah polishing
If you're gonna shitpost like that at least use the Leth quote c'mon 
I don't think your uncle works at team cherry
That was a joke my friend
I saw that coming
No I’m his uncles cousins son and I can confirm
I can hear the r/whooosh from here
I'm your uncles mom
I'm also your uncles dad

Duality.
Mitosis
Mysterious Dragon
Anyways, I wonder how useful some spells will be
There’s no spells in silksong
Like just in combat or beyond it?
One of them will probably be her silk ball
It's not inaccurate to call Hornet's silk skills spells.
They function similarly
I mean, they're probably magical in nature.
The silk spear is used to destroy something blocking the path at least once, and the grapple (which seems to act as a skill) will probably be useful for traversal
God I'm so excited to use the grapple
I know TC said, magic won't be as prominent here (probably why Hornet's "spells" are called skills)
Grapple seems too slow to be used during a battle unless it’s a big boss
Grapple is pretty fast and has some iframes at the end, plus you can chain it into other attacks
Plus it's extra movement, that's always gonna be useful for dodging
Grapple might be boss dependent on where you use it
Sure, but most abilities and the like will be more useful in some conditions than others
Grapple would be great for getting close to bosses that like to keep their distance
Like Lace, but then again rushing Lace is not a great idea 
Proof?
If grapple has i-frames then it will find plenty of use
Two mask damage flurry attack 
It probably doesn't have many, and might depend on hitting the enemy, in which case iframes could be all but necessary to not take contact damage
Like how her pogo has a few (although arguably not enough)
tbh, if Grapple has i-frames upon hitting, it could be the way to dodge that fire ring attack
I doubt that's the intended strategy
Hornet might have a dash with i-frames too
iframe dash wouldn't work for that attack either
I dunno if you'll even have grapple for the first lace fight
Wait what attack are we talking about
There are too many flames and at variable timing, the cooldown would make the attack undodgeable, as would the potentially absurd timing required
Oh you mean Last Judge's thing
If Rad walls came at you in groups of four at a time shade cloak wouldn't be enough
ye but grapple has longer range, and we don't know how the fire rings behave
for all we know they might not move.
And dashing into this spot would be absurd
oh, i was imagining grappling to Last Judge
That might work but grapple doesn't go that far and having an attack that can only be dodged with an ability that costs silk would render it impossible to dodge under some conditions
And even then he might flail around a bit when making the flames and hit you
I thought you were talking about something else. Yeah obviously not. I imagine that the fire rings will briefly part here so that Hornet can jump through them (we can see something like this on the ring closest to Last Judge).
If you look at her positioning, too
Like there was a part here that just closed after she jumped through
The look of these rings is quite different from anything we've seen in HK, right?
And there is a seam of sorts there, for lack of a better word
And it does look like that part hasn't fully reconnected either, if you look closely.
Where is this screenshot from?
They're fairly similar to NKG flames but just less red
Oh I'm snail
Fair enough. It's like a particle thing
Edge
Yeah the flames do look kinda funky, I wouldn't be surprised if they got touched up a bit before release
Then again NKG flames also looked kinda funky
Maybe it looks better animated
Fire effects do kinda look out of place in HK and SS ngl
Grimm’s don’t
They do until you've fought him a bunch and gotten used to it
They do tbh (someone grab a picture)
See they’re not out of place
I was just saying that most HK attacks are like a homogenous projectile or AOE thing but rarely many particles like this
Anyways Silksong release tomorrow
Well I imagine that the walls are divided into units, they're not just clusters of damaging particles
Kinda like rad sword walls
Yeah, but with fancy particles
Well, the gap between walls 2 and 3 seems a bit small to be identical to the sword walls, maybe it can spawn two in quick succession if and only if they open in the same spot
Wait, an attack somewhat similar to Rad's sword walls AND they're orange? Does this mean
Kirb no don't do it (but even if you did it wouldn't be the worst crackpot LJ idea)
Pog
I'll remember this
If you look closely you will see that the flames resemble the infection, and if you squint really hard you will realise Hornet's legs are, in fact, black in colour. Now, fire obviously emits light, and Rad is the literal sun, which is often incorrectly described as a "giant ball of fire". Clearly, Hornet is jumping through the flames (Radiance) and is about to attack the Last Judge. Now, let me ask you, what opposes light? That's right, it's Void, and what does that mean? Hornet is Void, a theory further corroborated by her black coloration.

the bible
Hornet legs 
And to be fair, I believe my argument to be unironically superior to anything that has ever been presented as evidence for Hornet being Void.
I mean it isn't weaker
hi gamers
And also since Silksong is probably a sequel and TC said all endings are equally canon, that means Radiance survives in DNM and EtV.
silksong 😭
A song made of silk, don't be ridiculous
Radiance didn’t survive in EtV though?

She got slapped to death

Colo 3 for sure
colo 3 is harder though
You'll do it eventually
Probably climbed

Or just walkin around the Christmas tree
Went on a trip outside of Hallownest
hk is basically just bug lore
Then came back just in time for the game's starting cutscene
next time i see a moth i am clearing all my thoughts and bowing down
ok nvm im done with hk for now
ok
What happened?
silksong or katana zero dlc
whats katana zero
that is the endgame
very great indie game
Silksong or SteamWorld Dig 3
Silksong
dont remember the price but movement is fun, plot is captivating
overall goated game
my current game list is silksong, botw2, cuphead dlc
Silk
have any of yall played celeste
Not yet
yes it is i
Yes
how it is?
Okay
it looks fun and im thinking about getting it but not sure
If you’re into platforming challenges celeste is pretty solid
If you’re not, celeste feels like a very obtuse game, despite its many redeeming qualities
hmm alright
rage.
i see
How do you do fellow silksongers ?
Hello, does anyone here know when Silksong will be released ? Or yet have an idea about it ?
?sspsa

Early 2022 is not any more or less likely than later in 2022
Uh huh. That's what people said about early 2021 a year ago
tbh the leak might have something to do with it. i know that its a placeholder most likely
Maybe. But the fact is that we don't have to pretend that some time frame is "very likely" cause it just isn't
i havent even 112% the first game XD
go get the last percent
only reason i'd suspect a release is close by, is due to a lack of news, but it could very well be that they just haven't gotten round to giving an update
oh yeah i had a dream recently that i think might have involved silksong but i don't remember anymore
Well the lack of news has been going on for almost a year now.
Also no way to know when this drought of news will end
Personally I think we won't see anything more until the game is done, whenever that is
we got a lot imo
if they weren't planning an early 2022 release i would have thought they would have stuck to their regular 6 month news intervals, given its been about 10-11 months now, it is a bit suspicious
The 6 month intervals might've just been a coincidence, right?
Maybe they didn't even know when exactly Edge would release when they made the interview
also I remember them saying that getting closer to release there would be more news, not less, so a lack of news definitely doesn't indicate an imminent release
edge releases approximately a month apart from each issue, so i imagine they knew when it was gonna release
Fair, I could still see the 6 month thing to not be planned
thats true, but didn't they say that quite a while ago, maybe they decided differently, no evidence to support that theory though
coincidentally it was the last issue of edge that the journalist pushing for the interview was working for the publisher
yeah it was a bit too long ago to still have much meaning, admittedly
but I wouldn't assume that the opposite is true either
maybe, but they've done it for the last 4 updates, even if it wasn't planned, it seems uncharacteristic for them to just go this long without news
are people unironically saying silksong is cancelled yet
Honestly, I think they were just busy
I'd rather not have news if it means they get more time working on the game
They have been saying that since the reveal
i think they've been busy since they started tbh, i would have thought they'd have less to do in the later stages, especially since it seems they've taken to patching hk earlier this year
I think it was Leth who pushed for the 6 month thing, TC don't seem to particularly be aware of time elapsing
member he was the one who did the riddles when TC said "nah not another blogpost breh"
yh, i can imagine TC just being like "oh shit its been like 10 months we should probably give them smthn"
everyone's been going rabid since the ss trailer
news will never satisfy a lot of people
they will never stop until ss releases or they die
3000 after the singularity 
elderbug will be the final boss
if u didnt talk to him
or zote if u didnt save him
or mask maker if u forgot he existed
so basicly everyone
Final boss is Sherma if you don't be nice to him
who is sherma
lemme get that one messae
i hate sherma
he dings his dumbass bell and needs hornet to simply open doors for him and his face is so stupid and round and he thinks he can actually accomplish anything without leeching on others and he sits around lazily and his music is atrocious and his clothes went out of style before the pale king took over and his voice makes me want to rip my eardrums out and his hat just gets in the way and he always gets lost and...

I love sherma
ohhhhh
i meant the one where i said sherma approaches hornet after she has bitten the final boss (it was very easy) and then attacks her with a pizza cutter


will be seen in silksong
