[silver oak]

Get bodied

[dusty nimbus]

Well time to start grinding Fordo

[dusty nimbus]

[opaque sigil]

What is life but progressive deterioration until our inevitable demise

[serene chasm]

Gid Gud

[dusty nimbus]

Don't forget the replacement of us by newer humans

[silver oak]

sorry curly but Tammo has you beat

[opaque sigil]

Eh that part ain't so bad
gonna suck for them tho haha lulz you get a dying planet enjoy

[dusty nimbus]

I don't think I have that many messages here

[dusty nimbus]

[silver oak]

Dude you literally just said you're still a teenager

[copper knot]

damn i lost

[opaque sigil]

Yeah I figure I'm probably gonna die maybe a few years before everything goes totally to hell

[silver oak]

You got a lot of life left in ya

[serene chasm]

Isnt half the server teenagers?

[uncut citrus]

Its not the number of results but also the size of the text, tho I think there isn’t that big of a difference between most of us there

[silver oak]

Ha
old

[dusty nimbus]

This is the internet why you trusting people?

[copper knot]

i am a teenager but i have the body of an adult
||wanna see? i kept it cool in the freezer||

[serene chasm]

Do people really do that? Go on the internet and tell lies?

Grover has no life

[silver oak]

I was waiting for someone to bring up grover

[uncut citrus]

Yes, yes they do

[hollow sedge]

jesus, how is that possible

how long has grove been on this server

[silver oak]

TTacco has Grover beat, so did 56 but they left

[opaque sigil]

Three years

[dusty nimbus]

I am an adult but I have body of a teenager, wanna see my basement?

Unless you're the fbi

Then I'm not showing you

[silver oak]

Ye I think since 56 is gone TTacco is the current reigning message champ

[copper knot]

4 of these are lies and one of them is the truth

i can speak 3 languages
my father didnt wanna show up on my birth
i got in a motorcycle accident as a child
i really like mexican food
i shat my pants today

[serene chasm]

All hail TTacco!

[burnt topaz]

do you like mexican food

[serene chasm]

You shat your pants is the truth

[silver oak]

But did your mother show up

[hollow sedge]

motorcycle accident is the truth, too specific

[copper knot]

im not telling which one is true

[serene chasm]

The mexican food one is true because everyone loves mexican food

[coarse leaf]

can confirm, i didnt want to be there

[silver oak]

HK server loves mexican food

[dusty nimbus]

Then everything is true and you're bullshiting us right now, that's the only logical answer

[silver oak]

Mexican food

[coarse leaf]

averaged like 144 msgs a day

[copper knot]

no

[dusty nimbus]

Clearly this is a lie

Trust me guys I'm from planet Minecraft

[silver oak]

That's pretty insane but tbh not unachievable

[silver oak]

I've averaged about 63 messages a day

[iron spear]

Quality over quantity boiz

[coarse leaf]

not unachievable for one day, but every day for 3 years

[silver oak]

so small, so tiny

I'm gaining on you Graig

[serene chasm]

I average 45.8 messages a day

[burnt topaz]

if thats tiny, then am i a bloody amoeba

[iron spear]

My AVG must be very low

I joined like 2 weeks into this server

[silver oak]

I've sent 17x the messages you have this year

[coarse leaf]

im on about 17/day

[copper knot]

none of the things you said are quality

[iron spear]

What about that time i

[burnt topaz]

around 15 messages a day

[silver oak]

I remember a time when I thought Graig was cool

How naive I was

[serene chasm]

[iron spear]

I'm just happy I no longer get 15 DMS a day about silksong

[silver oak]

Turns out the red name doesn't actually mean much except occasionally having to work around the NDA

[serene chasm]

so you only get 14 a day now?

[silver oak]

Or when you unintentionally taunt us with silksong news

[iron spear]

You don't know about all the secret channels that are good

[opaque sigil]

[uncut citrus]

Actually since I didn’t join that long ago my average must not be so bad, then I only started talking after like 2 months

[opaque sigil]

Not so secret now are they?

[silver oak]

You only have about 1.5k messages on secret chats, not a whole lot

[iron spear]

Yeah but the lols are forever

[uncut citrus]

Depends on the size of the messages

[neon talon]

If that's really a problem I'm sure we can arrange something to change that

[hollow sedge]

whatd you do to stop that

[silver oak]

Well I was gonna send a funny meme but Dyno blocked me

[coarse leaf]

reply with nitro scams

[steel sandal]

people got so bored they stopped dm ing him

[gilded adder]

Yo, Graig.

[iron spear]

Lol

JMB what's up

[silver oak]

That's actually pretty funny

[cunning geode]

We’ve got plenty of scam links you can rent, Graig

[gilded adder]

Nothing much, just chilling right now.

[silver oak]

What's deaths gambit

[marsh ibex]

Quality?

[serene chasm]

Nothing posted here is quality

[neon talon]

yeah, define quality

[silver oak]

Joker late to the joke once again

[gilded adder]

2D Metroidvania/Souls-like that recently got an overhaul/giant free expansion that fixed a bunch of issues with the game ever since it released back in 2018 and added a bunch of new content.

[coarse leaf]

it's defined relative to hk-meme

[marsh ibex]

Never mind graig is based

[silver oak]

#notsponsored

[neon talon]

🤔 interesting

[languid linden]

@Crewmate

[iron spear]

Nek minnit Kotaku article about TC affiliation sending people scams

[burnt topaz]

it looks quite pretty

[silver oak]

did you just look up "from:Graig among us"

[gilded adder]

I would love to be sponsored by them tbh. I would shill the game endlessly. It's so amazing. And the devs deserve all the love and praise for sticking with their game and improving it so much.

Music is phenomenal too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6wvnjBYDkw&ab_channel=Mythocast

[silver oak]

No advertising in general

[burnt topaz]

and its only £15, going on the wishlist

[neon talon]

looks interesting. Not really into those sorts of flashy graphics though - with the combat I mean

[coarse leaf]

damn, this slaps

[gilded adder]

It's a boss theme, if you can imagine that.

[silver oak]

I can't

[gilded adder]

The main menu theme is really good too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjI9zcWILB8&ab_channel=JoeDoe

[gilded adder]

[silver oak]

I mean you asked

[gilded adder]

I know. I was chuckling at your joke.

[coarse leaf]

gonna get this for the music alone

[neon talon]

seems like your marketing paid off

[silver oak]

Yeah this looks cool

[gilded adder]

Watch the trailer too. The voice acting is amazing as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uPbBu1Dg98&ab_channel=IGN

[silver oak]

The music is good
Unlike what I listen to

[opaque sigil]

Dammit I keep forgetting to redownload that game

[gilded adder]

Do it, Tammo.

[opaque sigil]

Yeah I just did before I could forget again

[coarse leaf]

ok, now im just confused as to how i'v never come across this

[burnt topaz]

same

[neon talon]

I have way too many games in my steam library that I still need to play, and many more waiting on my wishlist. looks like this is being added to the top of the list

[burnt topaz]

yeah, i still havent touched unworthy which is the game i got from funding crowsworn

[gilded adder]

It released to mixed reviews back in 2018 so that's probably why.

[languid linden]

I'll take it

[gilded adder]

Unworthy is great, played it a while back.

[languid linden]

(I'm joking btw)

[burnt topaz]

Ill get to it at some point and kinda excited to but i just keep replaying old games

[opaque sigil]

If they named the protagonist soren I gotta play a mage somehow

[gilded adder]

Is Soren the name of a mage in pop culture or something?

[opaque sigil]

It's the name of a mage in one of the most personally significant games I've played

[gilded adder]

What's the game called?

[opaque sigil]

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

[gilded adder]

I see

[opaque sigil]

Soren was basically my favorite character too

[silver oak]

Ok so how do you get Crowkart

I backed the game but I realize I have no idea how kickstarter works

[burnt topaz]

cant you just get crowkart?

[gilded adder]

The game now has a feature where you can test out classes before you pick one to see which you like best. There is indeed a mage class that uses a tome to attack with and scales with the INT stat.

[opaque sigil]

[silver oak]

oh it's free lmao

I am
very smart

[gilded adder]

Crowkart > Mariokart (Hasn't played either) Don't @ me

[languid linden]

Soren is the name of one of the 5 knights in Minecraft Story Mode

[opaque sigil]

@gilded adder

[languid linden]

iirc he had a very large staircase in the end

[burnt topaz]

[languid linden]

Am I wrong tho

[silver oak]

Soren is the main character of Kingdom Hearts right /s

[languid linden]

That's Sora I think

[burnt topaz]

no, but i didnt want to have to be reminded of minecraft story mode

[silver oak]

Fordo
Teach me the ways

The ways of getting onto DSSN

I must know

[silver oak]

That works

[nimble radish]

so you just asked out of nowhere

[languid linden]

Well yes kinda

[silver oak]

But first he lulled Ara into a false sense of security

[languid linden]

But I'm on another server with him where we interact kinda often

[silver oak]

mosscord?

He's an admin there I think

[languid linden]

So it wasn't just some rando from main asking to be in DSN

[gilded adder]

What's DSN?

[burnt topaz]

you can try your luck necro

[languid linden]

Yes it was some rando from main and mosscord asking to be in DSN

[silver oak]

Daily Silksong News

[gilded adder]

Oh

[silver oak]

Run by Araraura

[languid linden]

This is a joke it's a different server

[nimble radish]

let me in to your secret servers

[languid linden]

No I ate all the invites

Sorry

[silver oak]

Regurgitate them

[nimble radish]

then prepare to un-eat them cloneboy

[opaque sigil]

What one secret server not enough for you Lori

[languid linden]

wait what secret server

[nimble radish]

I'm in like 3 already and it's never enough

[languid linden]

What secret server are you two in that I'm not

[silver oak]

I would like in on whatever this is please

[languid linden]

Not like it's really a secret one though

[proud vale]

Gday silkbuds

[silver oak]

I'm only in 1 secret server and all three of you are there as well

[languid linden]

You knew before we invited you

Wait a second that was one of the reasons why we invited you

[nimble radish]

what

[languid linden]

🥡

[nimble radish]

I'm in more secret servers than all of you and I could be in more if they'd let me innnnnnn

[languid linden]

Let me count

[silver oak]

Ngl Fordo and I sound very similar

[languid linden]

5

[opaque sigil]

secret servers are cringe

[nimble radish]

yeah but people keep making them

[nimble radish]

let me in

[silver oak]

Why be in secret server when you have the Hollow Knight right here

[languid linden]

You're already in 2 of them, have access to the 3rd, and know about the 4th (I think)

[silver oak]

Lori if you made a secret server I would join it

[amber dagger]

hk

hi*

[languid linden]

Oh crap this guy knows too

[silver oak]

What's hk

[opaque sigil]

Fordo we all know about the 4th you guys aren't that discrete

[amber dagger]

i ment hi, sorz

[nimble radish]

is the 4th the one that's public knowledge

[languid linden]

True

[nimble radish]

I'm also in a secret server that you left fordo

[languid linden]

It's only common knowledge in one of the secret ones we share and the one I left

[silver oak]

I feel so left out

Can someone dm me with free nitro server links

[opaque sigil]

That's literally the whole point of secret servers

[languid linden]

And some people in mosscord

And another one I know about but am not in

[silver oak]

To leave ppl out?
I guess so

[languid linden]

Despite the fact that I apparently know the entire staff. Smh my head invite me already 😠

[languid linden]

I can't dm you

[nimble radish]

I guess theres a good reason to keep servers secret, people want servers for their friends and don't want to make people they don't invite feel like they're being left out

[languid linden]

Why are we talking about this again

[nimble radish]

you brought it up

[languid linden]

So anyway Unn is going to be the final boss of Silksong

[languid linden]

Oh. Right

[languid linden]

Since she's the only HB who hasn't done something at least a tiny bit wrong yet

[nimble radish]

a tiny bit? I feel like all the other higher beings did something very morally wrong

[languid linden]

That's why I put "at least" there

[silver oak]

'nn

Hey who's this new guy in chat

[languid linden]

Idk!

[silver oak]

"Ford" something looks like

[olive bobcat]

Captain Ford, truck dealer near you

[languid linden]

I'm a big fan of fords

[silver oak]

ooh goodie

[marsh ibex]

Nightmare Heart did nothing wrong

[languid linden]

Oh yeah that exists

[nimble radish]

ehhhhhh

dunno, feel like overriding brumm's personality and taking his memories was at least kinda mean

[marsh ibex]

it did not

and it did not

[languid linden]

Yeah TNH is at least slightly meanie poopie head

[marsh ibex]

that’s what the point of the mask is lori

[nimble radish]

wonder who gave him the mask if not the troupe

[languid linden]

I'm going to crap my pants

[nimble radish]

also no the mask is for covid

[nimble radish]

don't do that then you'll have to get new pants

[languid linden]

Oh that's true, I'm in my uniform pants

[silver oak]

That's what the mask is
That's what the point of the mask is

[marsh ibex]

#hk-meme message

[languid linden]

I'm not going to watch that because I don't have headphones

[serene chasm]

ewww. you made you go to hkmeme

[nimble radish]

I'm sorry but I'm a 900 year old so I don't get the reference

[silver oak]

You replyed to the wrong message

[marsh ibex]

it’s literally what necro said previously

[languid linden]

I'm still not going to watch it to preserve my sanity

[marsh ibex]

Watch it

Now

Now

Do it now

Please

[languid linden]

No

[quartz arrow]

Hey

Me if silksong doesn't ckme out untill march 2022

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-fight-cartoon-gif-13956209

[opaque sigil]

March 2022 wouldn't be that long

Less than four years in exclusive development

[quartz arrow]

No, I wouldn't be surprised if it will come out in Febuary

[opaque sigil]

That's besides the point

[silver oak]

You mean if it didn't come out in Feb?

[quartz arrow]

No

Idk, it s 3 am

[silver oak]

Go to bed

[quartz arrow]

No

[silver oak]

Wake up
It's June 2022
Silksong still isn't out yet

[quartz arrow]

NO

[opaque sigil]

Sure

Games take time. SS hasn't had that much time yet.

[silver oak]

B-b-b-b-but Tammy, it's been 3 years!!!

[opaque sigil]

[coarse leaf]

you could tell me silksong was coming out in 2025 and id believe it, games take time

It's been 3 whole years, that's good, it's not like they had to come up with a whole new art style and everything, they had all that from HK

[silver oak]

Well I guess that means they didn't have to draw any new art either

[opaque sigil]

Coming up with the artstyle isn't the bulk of the work in making a game

[coarse leaf]

art STYLE i said

[tribal merlin]

turns out they have contracted a song from Martin/Wintergatan to be played on the marble machine X for the soundtrack, so SilkSong can't release before he has finished it. There's only some minor problems he has to fix so I bet it's gonna be soon™

[coarse leaf]

what what? explain pls

[coarse leaf]

its a joke

[tribal merlin]

I'm pulling everyones leg. Marble machine X will take probably at least 2 more years

[opaque sigil]

so could silksong realistically

[tribal merlin]

and Martin decided that he has to build the real marble machine after that

[silver oak]

I remember Wintergaten

Are they still making videos?

[tribal merlin]

but I'd encourage anyone to watch him building the machine on his Wintergatan channel (no promotion) because it shows the journey and suffering of somebody trying to build a beautiful dream

[coarse leaf]

delusionally*** hopelessly****

[tribal merlin]

and how it takes fucking longer than anybody could have guessed

[opaque sigil]

Another two years would give SS like five years of exclusive development. That's hardly a delusional or hopeless figure

[coarse leaf]

art style doesnt really mean much, they still had to draw all of the art in silksong.
and 3 years is short for a game, a tiny group made a huge game called hollow knight in just a few years while even AAA game studios spend years and years making games.

[coarse leaf]

hmm i watched like one wintergartan video and it was something to do with a song from a marble machine thingy ill have to see more

[silver oak]

5 years is totally reasonable for a game like SS

[tribal merlin]

you probably saw the one that's gone viral, with a machine build from wood

[nimble radish]

they meaning Ari

[serene chasm]

I cant wait for SS to ruin gaming for me

[coarse leaf]

exactly, it might even be SHORT

[coarse leaf]

by that you mean its gonna be so fucking amazing that every other game pales in comparison?

[tribal merlin]

turns out they needed over 40 hours to make that video clip because the machine kept failing
after that he decided to build a sturdier one (and also one that would fit through the door of his atelier) to go on world tour

[opaque sigil]

What else

[tribal merlin]

and that's the marble machine X he's still building

[coarse leaf]

I mean hollow knight damn near ruined gaming for me a few months ago so im excited to see silksong ruin literally everything for me

[coarse leaf]

oh wow but yeah thats the one i saw ill have to check out more

[serene chasm]

After you 100% SS, you die because there is nothing worth living for after. Your life has peaked

[vivid belfry]

hollow knight didn't ruin gaming for me, I learned to tamper my expectations pretty quickly by playing super metroid

[coarse leaf]

....... I'm not waiting 5 years honestly

[silver oak]

Well then, see ya

[coarse leaf]

In 5 years I'll be buried

[nimble radish]

ok well that's your problem

[coarse leaf]

cya

because theres a perfect fine chance itll take 5 years

a 2024 release sounds good to me tbh so uh thats ur problem

[vivid belfry]

I mean realistically they've had a little over half a year of dev time before the reveal trailer

[silver oak]

And that's only if we assume they went straight from working on Godmaster to silksong

[gilded adder]

They said they started development shortly after HK initially came out, right?

[vivid belfry]

they were working on silksong well before godmaster

[coarse leaf]

i thought it was 2019 thats what i was going on the assumption of

[vivid belfry]

it technically started just a few months after release and was being worked on alongside the content packs

[tribal merlin]

they started development of "a smol $5 game" after HK, yeah

[silver oak]

But like serious dev time only started after Godmaster iirc

[vivid belfry]

yeah, that was when full time development started

[gilded adder]

I remember an AMA where they said their top priority was the Hornet DLC and then the Content Packs were second.

[tribal merlin]

they could only seriously have started SS full game dev from the moment they had Jack

[languid linden]

Who?

[opaque sigil]

That's ridiculous. Why would they prioritize SS when they had content packs due to release earlier

[vivid belfry]

but the time during content packs was probably a lot of trailer content

[gilded adder]

I don't know but I vividly remember them making a list on the reddit comment and it was like

1. Hornet DLC
2. Content Packs
3. Something Else

[silver oak]

Fearless Fox

[tribal merlin]

so if they were working on "Hornet DLC" do you count that as working on SS

[gilded adder]

Well, at the time we didn't know it was Silksong so they kept it as Hornet DLC to avoid revealing anything.

[tribal merlin]

at some point they decided they couldn't do it justice based off the HK game

[coarse leaf]

they might not have known it was gonna be silksong though at the time

[tribal merlin]

and it needed to be its own full length game instead of a small release

[gilded adder]

I remember them saying they decided to make it a full game very early in the development/game idea creation stage.

[coarse leaf]

wot

[coarse leaf]

oh ok (you're the expert here not me lmao im just speculating)

[tribal merlin]

they decided to make it a separate game, albeit a small one for $5 (Leth interview)
later on they decided to make it a full blown game

[gilded adder]

I'm by no means an expert. I just watched their one Silksong video too many times

[gilded adder]

Oh, ok. That makes sense. I didn't know about that since I never watched that Leth interview.

[coarse leaf]

lmao but yk what i mean

[coarse leaf]

interesting

kinda wondering what the ss price

[gilded adder]

I predict no more than 20 bucks tbh

[tribal merlin]

I assume it's the same ballpark as HK since that was a success

[vivid belfry]

I expect 15$ again

[silver oak]

I don't think they would break the precedent of 15$ they set with HK

[gilded adder]

I remember them saying they want to give everyone a chance to play their games so keeping it in the same range as HK would be keeping in line with their ideals.

[vivid belfry]

they clearly don't care about the playtime to price ratio, nor should they

[coarse leaf]

well, yes, it could be like 15 dollars but hk was a huge success and ss sounds like its gonna be huge so maybe theyll raise it to 20 dollars

[tribal merlin]

maybe a few doll hairs more since $15 in 2021 isn't the same as in 2017

[vivid belfry]

that's true but I don't think TC is having money troubles

[tribal merlin]

but yeah around $15-$20 is what a lot of people expect

[gilded adder]

Thank you, sir Wombat.

[cunning geode]

you're welcome

[vivid belfry]

they can price it at pretty much anything and turn a profit since it has a huge pool of guaranteed buyers

[coarse leaf]

ah yes becaue inflation now silksong will be $16.80

[tribal merlin]

no but they changed their professions to full time dev so it's their J B now

[coarse leaf]

pretty obviously its not going to be but I would buy silksong on the first day it comes out without second thoughts if it was 60 dollars

[tribal merlin]

$60 wouldn't make sense
like studios with 1000 people working on a game for 5-6 years take that

[silver oak]

it was their job since the kickstarter iirc

[tribal merlin]

they were trying it out, they didn't know if it would succeed

if it failed then do you think they would stay game devs?

[silver oak]

probably not

[coarse leaf]

yesyes i said obviously its not going to be

[silver oak]

TAKE THAT!

[tribal merlin]

admittedly the studios are underselling at $60

[coarse leaf]

hi gelator

[tribal merlin]

which means shit pay for a lot of people working on the games sadly

[silver oak]

letarog

[coarse leaf]

yeah but

[tribal merlin]

yeh people think $60 is expensive and there's also a lot of shit sold at that price, but realistically a well produced game made by a big studio should be more around $100

baseline

[warm bone]

I mean

Like

There would be a lot more pirates

[tribal merlin]

people pirate $5 games...

[coarse leaf]

i mean though

if its cheaper, its cheaper and more people will buy it, but if its expensive its expensive but less people buy it

[nimble radish]

if the studios can't afford to pay their employees then they shouldn't be in business at all

[warm bone]

Most people pirate because they can’t afford the game

[coarse leaf]

like if a game thats 60 dollars makes 100,000 sales thats 6 million, and if a 100 dollar game gets 60,000 sales its... also 6 million. see what ii mean?

[tribal merlin]

if it's too cheap then the product has a high chance to be shit, you'll destroy consumer trust and your company image

[warm bone]

Hollow knight

[nimble radish]

: Silksong

[coarse leaf]

hey click this LinK and play free online amongus!!!!!!!! amogngnsus.dkm bro ensjkjn

[warm bone]

We all know how team cherry’s company image is in the gutter right now

Because their game cheap

[proud vale]

club penguin was free and that game slapped, so checkmate

[tribal merlin]

if the product is good then people will also pay $100
we just had a guy here telling us he'd pay $60 for silksong, that's 3-4 times the expected price

[coarse leaf]

wow i wonder what fucking hooligan said that!!

[tribal merlin]

they're 3 people, not 1000, so they earn a fuckton more than the average game dev even at the price of $15

[proud vale]

true, baby wilbo will inherit a fortune like harry potter

[coarse leaf]

did u just

[analog forge]

that implies the other memebers of team cherry die horribly wtf

[vivid belfry]

I mean Ari already died and with Jack it's just a matter of time before he gets hit by a bus because nobody knows who he is

[analog forge]

whos jack?

[vivid belfry]

what

[nimble radish]

exactly

[proud vale]

Exactly grover, it's like final destination but specifically TC

[tribal merlin]

I always assume it's the flesheating plants Graig is raising is what'll get em

[glossy gazelle]

Mfw no one remembers Jack

[proud vale]

mfw Chris wasn't even mentioned

[coarse leaf]

i actually know who jack is

thats a joke, i dont no who jack is

[coarse leaf]

chris? like christopher larkin, or some other chris ive never heard of

[proud vale]

Yeah Larkin

[coarse leaf]

ooh ok

i love the hk music its absolutely beautiful

is it just me that really likes hive knight theme or

[lone lichen]

leth is hunted down by a mob of risk of rain 1 fans whose lobby crashed one too many times

[proud vale]

I hope the musicians are free range

[tribal merlin]

no worries they get plenty of exercise once they're playing the score

[nimble radish]

if you want free range musicians you're gonna have to pay for another 3 trucks

[coarse leaf]

free range? isnt that like a beef thing

[tribal merlin]

and they get fed with human welfare in mind
probably

[coarse leaf]

i see

hmmm i want some free range larkin meat delivered to my door step

[proud vale]

um

[coarse leaf]

what

no guys, i was talking about meat grinded with a larkin meat grinder sillies

[tribal merlin]

nice, but does it have a bronze or delrin bushing?

[coarse leaf]

idk all i know is it is wood handle and cast iron, comes with grinder. Handle screws four blades and inner attachment

[tribal merlin]

it's about the part the back of the worm screw (or feed screw) sits in. When you have a device where you can't use a ball bearing for some reason you use a bushing, which is just a ring of material. And a delrin (or god beware plastic) one gets worn out years earlier than a bronze one, so I'd make sure to get a meat grinder with a bronze bushing

[coarse leaf]

thats nice can we go back to talking about silksong

[tribal merlin]

the correct response would have been "sir, this is a wendy's"
so no points

[dry valley]

[coarse leaf]

turkey is

Okay, i guess. but i wouldnt rank it very high on the meats list

deffo ahead of ALL seafood categories and ham but other than that i dont prefer it to anything much

[cerulean sable]

make it mandatory that Hornet needs to eat and rest after some time

i dont even need bonuses i just want an animation of her on the Inn

[tribal merlin]

of course before eating you need to get a recipe from and collect all the ingredients

[tawdry valley]

Can't, TC can't animate small mouths

[tribal merlin]

my theory is that they can and do but our displays simply don't have the resolution to show them

[cerulean sable]

itll probably hornet shaking her head wildly while loud CHOMP CRUNCH sounds play and food soft particle effects pop out every second

honestly id prefer damage buffs being tied to temporary consumables

rather than "heres a flat 50% increase as long as you equip this shit"

[fathom peak]

so whats the lifeblood injection then
a golden apple?

[tribal merlin]

apple juice with blue food coloring, I knew it

[serene chasm]

Im totally with you on that one Ttacco

[silver oak]

How would they decide when to end the buff though if it’s temporary

[cerulean sable]

you dont

you drink it

andd for 30 seconds you literally destroy people

then limit it to like -2 tools per sortie, and bump up the shard cost while youre at it

[tawdry valley]

I'm okay with a 10 second powerup if it can be used mid-fight

I'm just worried I'll stockpile the shite out of them

[cerulean sable]

they could always lower the max but who knows

well see in the final build

[cunning geode]

hornet douses her needle in gasoline, then lights a match

[vivid belfry]

I think I would prefer the attack bonus being based on hit count rather than time

makes it more consistently useful between skill levels

[serene chasm]

Speaking of Darksouls ||big tree boss tips||

[cerulean sable]

also i wish games had more something to elements other than "oh this one is resisted by this thing" etc

usually though they at least add something like ice = slow, lightning = stun, fire = dot etc

[cunning geode]

Darkspore had this thing where instead of elements making you more powerful against certain enemies, if an enemy was the same type as your hero they would be stronger against you

iirc

[cerulean sable]

so it was still a defense thing

[cunning geode]

sorta

they would hurt you more

[vivid belfry]

I like the different element types in Hades, there pretty varied compared to most games

like theoretically poison and doom are just slightly different versions of DoT but the way they're implemented gives them much more pronounced variation

[cunning geode]

d..doom

[vivid belfry]

that's also why I'm kinda disappointed by status effects in dead cells, fire poison and bleed are just the same thing but you can stack them separately

[cunning geode]

TF2 has afterburn and bleed. Bleed is more dangerous and less things can remove it but literally only 5 or so weapons inflict bleed and they never committed to making the status very interesting

shame

Slay the Spire does poison very well though

[cerulean sable]

yeah bleed is essentially just fire but better "burst" potential though

[cunning geode]

poison in Slay the Spire goes through blocks and deals damage equivalent to its level, which is also how many turns the poison will last and it goes down by 1 after activating each turn

[vivid belfry]

the poison vs doom thing in hades is a cool dichotomy (although technically poison is actually hangover)

hangover is a proportionally small amount of damage that hits enemies at a consistent tick rate and can be stacked up to 5 times by default

doom is a much larger amount of damage but it takes a full 2 seconds to activate, only hits once, and can't stack

[willow sinew]

My favorite loadout for scout is shortstop, guillotine, wrap assassin, because's the most annoying thing I could think of. It's genuinely almost non-lethal, it's just unfathomably annoying

[cunning geode]

[potent plover]

I wonder what group lace is part of

[cunning geode]

The Shins

[potent plover]

Possibly the steel assasins but I wonder if there are any other theories

This is somebody's artwork team cherry featured in one of their blog posts, I noticed team cherry title it as "something ancient awakens"

Just thought it might be worth discussion

[tawdry valley]

Legend has it, it used to be used for mining resources, resources that were used to make giant golems, which were used to mine resources, which were used to make giant golems

[potent plover]

I can't tell if this is a reference to something or actual silksong information

[cunning geode]

you know this character appeared in the silksong trailer, right?

also "something ancient awakens" just seems like a cryptic hint to the boss in question

[potent plover]

I know it was in the trailer, I'm just talking about what its titled as ( starved for silksong over here )

[tawdry valley]

Mechanical golems in hollow knight were used to mine crystals

These crystals, as far as we know, were near exclusively used to make more golems

[potent plover]

I see now

even If we know know this thing is ancient, It doesn't add much since the deep docks sounds to be pretty ancient itself

[willow sinew]

This is the plot of Titanfall

[still owl]

I love this logic

build golem
use golem to mine more crystal
turns out crystals are only really useful for golems
build more golems.
cycle repeats

[tawdry valley]

There's actually probably a decent explanation

On one of the older gameplay demos of HK, crystals were in where we now find soul totems, and used to give soul

[still owl]

I imagine since the golems seem to be purely mechanical, crystals power a lot of the elevators and machinery hidden around Hallownest

[tawdry valley]

There's a chance a whole area was based on this idea, this idea was then changed, but they didn't wanna get rid of the idea

What remains, is a large scale mining operation that funnels into the kingdoms trade hub, except the crystals no longer have an actual narrative purpose

This is all speculation off of 3 seconds of ancient gameplay though. So take with a spoon of salt

[still owl]

did not know about this, very cool

also if you do want to use color theory, crystals used to be more white than pink in the earlier versions, so them containing soul would make sense.

[tawdry valley]

https://youtu.be/U8Wz-VwX5dw
1:15

[tawdry valley]

Well yeah, that too.
Check it.

[still owl]

that or very very unlikely, TC was like
it does something but we have 0 clue as to what

[still owl]

hmmm yes. Video. (not loading)

[tawdry valley]

“Yet Unspecified mechanic”

[tawdry valley]

Ah.

[still owl]

nw saw the YT video anyway

[tawdry valley]

TLDR: crystals used to give soul before soul was even named

Geo was still referred to as fossils though. So that's cool

[silver oak]

The comments on that video are interesting

Lots of people acting like they’re better than everyone else cuz they played HK

[tawdry valley]

Most of them are 4-6 years old on my end, lol

[mortal grove]

it has to be a troll

[crisp drift]

i would think he's baiting

mentions 3 games

[vague heath]

ye

[cerulean sable]

i see someone mentioning they miss the sidestep

[chilly nexus]

elden ring gameplay tomorrow wooooo

[cerulean sable]

but when i played the beta that Graig released this year, it was so unintuative

like its better to just turn around and dash

its not like the game has a turn time

[chilly nexus]

without lock-on, there's no reason to have sidestep/backwards-dashing yeah

a 2 combat game with lock on, though, would be interesting

[potent plover]

I wonder how the silksong "sidestep" will be

seems kinda situational

[cerulean sable]

she jumps into the background z axis

the hubris of the denizens of pharloom is that they can only travel in a single z axis

rendering hornet, invincible

[potent plover]

what

[crisp drift]

oh no not the dreaded z axis

[potent plover]

oh god, geometry?

[tawdry valley]

Drag and drop hornet to the top layer of the game art and just walk past all the enemies

[opal geyser]

And falls through the floor

For eternity

[cerulean sable]

ya know

x axis is left and right
y axis is up and down
z axis is "in" and "out"

the people of hallownest are unable to move pass the z axis

they are stuck in the purgatory known as "0" z axis

[chilly nexus]

TC codes using Z-axis height, theta, and psi... it's polar coordinates y'all, not this cartesian schtuff

[cerulean sable]

well i fucking hate math so you cant really do anything for me

[potent plover]

silksong speedrun strats?

[chilly nexus]

Increase your theta and only theta

[normal token]

I was there too!

[ocean mulch]

Frightening

[uncut citrus]

crystals are told to contain a similar power to soul but way less power, but safer to use so idk if it still could be soul changed by the crystals or if it means its a totally diffrent kind of power

[tight linden]

love this game

[normal token]

Hiii phrax

[uncut citrus]

why play squid game when you can play crab game

i was gonna make an amazing joke where i go onto risk of rain 2s mod loader r2modman, download a hollow knight mod and then say "the new silk song leak is looking sick" but there is no hollowknight mods and now im just sad

[bleak scarab]

damn thats old

it feels weird

[viscid zodiac]

ok i know this likely fake but just checking in, silksong didn't quietly release did it?

[fathom peak]

it didnt

[steel sandal]

Nah, this place would've exploded if it did

[viscid zodiac]

I thought as much
how do you get discord to say you're playing something like that

[fathom peak]

eh
dont know dont care

[normal token]

You change the name of the application your using in discord

[coarse leaf]

We just have to wait till 3rd week of december guys zote

[frozen bloom]

Milksong?

[native ivy]

no guys remember the 21st night of September is the release date

[crisp drift]

it's 24th of Febuary smh

[lapis pivot]

when silksong releases, our combined hype will restructure the sourcecode of the universe to permanently delete ss-discussion's slowmode and the option to turn it on. it will be impossible to read anything

[steel sandal]

I feel like it won't only be ss discussion

the whole discord will explode

[pallid flare]

the entire world will collapse

[opaque sigil]

I pity the fool who's here then and not playing Silksong

[pallid flare]

I do too

imagine not being able to afford silksong

that's rough

[fathom peak]

buddy

[primal fractal]

how do u do, fellow humans 😄

[opaque sigil]

Decently enough, how're you on this fine morning/afternoon/evening/whatever it is for you

[primal fractal]

im meditating and patiently awaiting silksong

fighting my inner demons

[nova briar]

silksong when pls 😩 😩

[fleet temple]

When it's ready

[proud vale]

I swear there are people in this chat or hk-disc which will just gift someone hk if they contribute well to discussion

[opaque sigil]

Hey I only did that once and just because I had an extra steam key

[proud vale]

Yeah if people really like the game and have money to spare then it’s not a big thing

For them at least

[opaque sigil]

But presumably the date will be announced a few weeks before release so people'll have time to get hold of $15

[coarse leaf]

15 bucks ARE 15 bucks

[low nebula]

oof thats like 60 in my currency

[tribal merlin]

you mean with equivalent currency conversion?

[low nebula]

ok tbf i spent like 100 on genshin by now, i can cough up 60-

[low nebula]

yah, when i bought it on switch it was like 60 smthn

[tribal merlin]

no I mean if a cheeseburger costs let's say $2, then in your currency it would cost $8 equivalent?

so 4x more expensive?

[low nebula]

i think the conversion rate is smthn like 1$ = 3,something zł

[tribal merlin]

nah that's just the numbers and doesn't tell you about buying power

[opaque sigil]

Considering that they said "oof thats like 60" I assume that is a significant amount

[tribal merlin]

like $15 is around 1500 yen but that's not like it's 1500 dollars equivalent

[lament drum]

oh polish yeah

[low nebula]

polish gang

[opaque sigil]

If 60 wasn't a lot I'd probably say "oh so like only 60" or smth

[lament drum]

about a quarter conversion from usd

[low nebula]

yeh

[vagrant umbra]

Two months until the last news drop anniversary WHOOOOO!!

[low nebula]

sobs im hoping that one leak was at least somewhat accurate i want silksomg

[tribal merlin]

ok so 60 PLN seems to be around 3 McDonalds meals

[vagrant umbra]

Well if development is anything like Hollow Knight, they got a scope creep that has them adding new stuff until they feel satisfied with the content. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) they don’t have anything like the pressure from backers to release any time soon.

[low nebula]

smecks my hands on the table SILKEE NOW

[tribal merlin]

so it's the same ballpark as $15 but may be harder to get for Polish people

[vagrant umbra]

So no release date means development could be that they are still adding stuff.

[tribal merlin]

development doesn't just mean adding stuff

[fiery coral]

@proud vale Yekane's playing Outer Wilds too now

[proud vale]

Amazing.

[vagrant umbra]

Dev interviews and etc has shown their approach to finishing Hollow Knight was adding content in finished segments, and keep adding stuff until they were satisfied, that’s their own definition of scope creep, and how stuff like the hive and charms got added.

Silksong is no different to this approach.

[proud vale]

[tribal merlin]

that they didn't talk publicly about problems they encountered and how they solved them doesn't mean those didn't exist

I'd say "adding stuff" is just max 50% of developing a piece of software

[vagrant umbra]

What I’m trying to say is that no release date means that they don’t plan on releasing anytime soon and are still in a scope creep phase.

[tribal merlin]

the first part is true, the second part has no evidence

[opaque sigil]

It doesn't mean that

[low nebula]

but imagine: silkee tommorow

[vagrant umbra]

They last few blogposts have them talk about it.

[opaque sigil]

That they have no absolute release date does not mean the scope of the game is still increasing

[tribal merlin]

wdym do you know the date of the last blogpost?

[uncut citrus]

in one of the Leth interview he talks about how TC keeps adding more and more stuff, lemme 2 sec im gonna try to find it

[vagrant umbra]

I… ouch… oof…

[tribal merlin]

also again, if they're not talking about something that doesn't mean it doesn't exist

they just don't talk about their problems in public

what they show is what they want to show and they make it look good

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, showing various bugs and whatnot that arise during development is hardly a good way to get people to buy your game

[tribal merlin]

or going "yeah so we did that crest and tool system but after 8 months it grew into an abomination and we're now in the process of reworking it into something more realistic"

or "Graig can't get past the tutorial so game is maybe too hard"

[opaque sigil]

[silver oak]

Graig is game journalist

its always in the same ballpark, given steam adjusts their prices based on region

Isnt ss discussion a random discussion anyways?

[uncut citrus]

its not an impossible release date but its not like it was confirmed, just a hope for now

[coral carbon]

but i'm not giving my hopes up

[tribal merlin]

if you listen to the interview closely you'll hear Leth say "whenever I join a team I try to..." so he's talking in general and not saying "Team Cherry keep adding more and more stuff".
He's basically saying to be mindful of scope creep and surely he will have talked about that with TC as well.

[normal token]

I think a february ss release would be nice

[coarse leaf]

just wondering whether otptimists are the majority or minority. thanks for the info

[tribal merlin]

yesterday would also be nice cuz then I'd be playing right now

[opaque sigil]

It's not about optimism

[tribal merlin]

do not confound optimism with blind faith

like let's say you owe $10000, optimism would be "I can find a job and pay that off in 2 years", vs blind faith "I'll find a suitcase with $10000 on the street tomorrow"

[coarse leaf]

I haven't really been around since the optimism/pesimism divide in the community so I'm using those terms

[opaque sigil]

Those terms are poorly applied

[coarse leaf]

probably

[tribal merlin]

yeah some people tend to call everyone a pessimist that doesn't have blind faith

[opaque sigil]

And it's easier to make "optimist" sound good

[uncut citrus]

he's talking about how TC's call go and how they have more and more idea and he's "like wow this is... i mean i love hearing it because thats the fun part of the creative process but it's also kind of like we havent figured that out yet or are we just gonna keep adding stuff"

[pallid flare]

I wish

[tribal merlin]

my point is he's not saying "TC are adding more and more stuff" as somebody claimed above 😉

he is in conversation with them about scope creep but that's not the same at all

and I'm sure that's not all they're talking about

[uncut citrus]

i mean they are adding stuff otherwise there woudnt be a game, but if rn they are done with the game and just adding little details or if they havent even finished the structure yet is speculation

[normal token]

I think we'll see some news in december or early 2022

[tribal merlin]

in my opinion the HK updates signal a change in development phase, in classical terms going from alpha (adding/constructing all the foundations of content they want in) to beta(fleshing out/testing/making sure stuff works/adjusting)

but yeah that's speculation, although not completely unfounded

and it still means probably no SilkSong in Feb

for a small studio there also may not be such a distinct line between phases as there would be in a big studio

so they could be in "beta" but still go "oh yeah but what if we put this in that would work nicely"

[normal token]

Unless TC is just taking a break, I think SS is mostly complete

[languid linden]

I hope

[tribal merlin]

but what do you mean by "complete"

a software past alpha is "mostly complete" but not in a state to be released to the public

[normal token]

Content, art etc. for the game 90% done

And Ari not having the feeling to redesign everything

[proud vale]

Complete as in assets I think they mean

[normal token]

Ye basically

[trim estuary]

[tribal merlin]

but technically overall from all the work that has to be done on the game that could still be around 50% done

Mine was just speculation too

[silver oak]

Hey, vsauce, Micheal here

[uncut citrus]

apparently around the time they started updating HK their programing software, Unity , got an big update so that might be the reason they went back to update HK (then i saw this on an YT comment so maybe i should fact check)

[tribal merlin]

yes definitely the unity update was an incentive to do that, but they wouldn't do it if they didn't have the coding time to spare

it's better to have all your games on the same unity version because that makes maintenance so much easier

also some HK bugs may have been easier to fix in the new version

[normal token]

YOUUUUUUUU

No more

[fathom peak]

ohhhhhhhhhhh baby

[bleak scarab]

[uncut citrus]

Silksong

[bleak scarab]

why do you do this to me

[normal token]

To simply make you suffer after months of not being here

[normal token]

On christmas I gave you my heart

[trim estuary]

I don’t want a lot for Christmas

[bleak scarab]

because it's not christmas

[agile herald]

EldenRing

[fathom peak]

close enough

[bleak scarab]

its november

[glossy gazelle]

It's the beginning of November

[agile herald]

It looks good

[trim estuary]

There is just one thing I need

[glossy gazelle]

At least wait until we are 3/4 through

[bleak scarab]

which is a november with no christmas

[trim estuary]

Exactly

[short wagon]

Can I still see the new news of Silk Song before January next year

[trim estuary]

No

Also there is no news until July 2023

[uncut citrus]

too optimistic

[trim estuary]

Silksong at the fortnite direct

[coarse leaf]

i knew that... i didnt even have forest in the render

[coarse leaf]

Just messing around bro

[serene patrol]

Do yall think its gonna be in ps5?

[opaque sigil]

Eventually, unless some compelling reason arises for it not to be

[serene patrol]

Yea i thought so ... i know it took a while for HK to be on ps4

[trim estuary]

Eventually, unless all PS5’s suddenly explode

[opaque sigil]

Or, like, Sony demands an exorbitant sales fee or the porting would be more trouble than it's worth

[summer kindle]

DAMMIT I MISSED THE CHRISTMAS SONGS

[cunning geode]

shouldn't you be glad

[modest night]

Hey guys 150k members soon

At least youll have something to celebrate

[pallid flare]

I think it would be funny if we'd ban half of that

[opaque sigil]

That's 50k members since like March, damn

[cunning geode]

"To celebrate reaching 150k members, the staff here on Hollowcord unanimously decided to enroll pruning!"

[opaque sigil]

wait no that'll get rid of like 2/3 of members

[cunning geode]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-agree-agreed-muscles-gif-22901449

[trim estuary]

If I leave the server before they do it

[trim estuary]

And then rejoin after
I won’t be banned

[opaque sigil]

What's the point of pruning anyways? Is it harmful to have inactive people in the server?

[cunning geode]

pruning only kicks people actually

and uh it depends on the server really

we dont do it because there isnt any real reason to

but its technically a good way to gauge "active" members versus "people who joined and just dont do anything"

[opaque sigil]

I guess but why would you need to

[cunning geode]

idk

[sweet lotus]

hello fellow Silksong anticipators, it's really been a while since the last news

[trim estuary]

It’s only been like a year

[opaque sigil]

It's longer than we've gone before but not alarmingly so

[trim estuary]

I accidentally watched a silksong video recently and got hyped for it again

[pallid flare]

pruning sounds annoying if you joined a server just for its emotes

[trim estuary]

Especially since this server has so many

[opaque sigil]

nitro user problems aren't real problems

[uncut citrus]

Sad

[cerulean sable]

we will purge half of you all

[warm bone]

Cool

[pallid flare]

do it

[cunning geode]

you misunderstand what he said
we will purge half of everyone here
you will all be vaporized from the waist down

[pallid flare]

oh that's not good

[normal token]

Even me?

[carmine sapphire]

Silksong is a lie created by the gonverment

[unkempt pawn]

[silver oak]

[glossy gazelle]

@ ara what does prune mean-

[languid linden]

idk ask ara

[languid linden]

Prune is a term for a grumpy old lady

Therefore when you're pruning something, you're turning it into a grumpy old lady

[pallid flare]

pruning in this context is kicking every member that hasn't contributed (for a while)

[glossy gazelle]

Oh

[languid linden]

Yes, when you get kicked you get turned into a grumpy old lady

I can confirm firsthand that this is true

I went from a teenager to 70 years old

[glossy gazelle]

Well good thing I don't have that issue

[dusty nimbus]

Το ποιο;

[pallid flare]

noio

[dusty nimbus]

Translation: The what?

[normal token]

Ha old man, you won't even be able to play silksong because of your hands!

[dusty nimbus]

Ha and you think you'll live long enough to play silksong

[languid linden]

I'll just use my tongue then

[normal token]

I snapped your tongue

[languid linden]

Oh that's why my gum tastes weird

[cunning geode]

[normal token]

Oh ye I also stole your legs but ignore that

[languid linden]

Huh no those weren't my legs

[pallid flare]

hey who stole my legs

[languid linden]

Those were Fives' legs

[normal token]

Oh ye, it was Pyro's legs

[pallid flare]

oh you can keep them

[neon talon]

there are a sight too many legs around here

[languid linden]

Did you know there are around 2 legs for every person

[pallid flare]

on average there's less than 2 legs per person

[languid linden]

Clearly they outnumber us by far too much and many should be removed

[pallid flare]

yet still I have 2, so I must be above average

[languid linden]

Wait that's true

[neon talon]

I don't think hornet needs more than one leg
