[gilded adder]

I am in the "want to believe but part of me thinks it won't happen" camp.

[fresh zodiac]

can i join the camp?

[brittle garnet]

I am in the "want to believe but definitely think it won't happen" camp.

Actually, I guess I'm in the same camp.

[gilded adder]

Sure

[tight linden]

Pretty much

[brittle garnet]

It'd be cool but I'm not actively anticipating it.

[tight linden]

I’ve been here for long enough to just, not think it’s going to happen.

There’s been various waits like this and never have that much weight. Like sure, we haven’t got news in a long time. Doesn’t mean they’ll do it through TGA.

[brittle garnet]

To be fair it really is impossible to tell if it happens or not, I do think that a blogpost is more likely than TGA tho.

[pale lion]

i mean my gut reaction is probably no just because it wasnt mentioned in the most anticipated games part of the nominations bit

[gilded adder]

Silksong's reveal actually happened on the same day as a Nintendo Direct so we might just get a blogpost after TGA.

[brittle garnet]

That was a coincidence though.

[winter cypress]

a blogpost that tells us february 1st

[gilded adder]

Yea, I meant like later after TGA not on the same day exactly.

[fallen void]

WHERES SILKSONG

[brittle garnet]

That would just align with the usual December blogpost though.

[gilded adder]

True

[gilded adder]

in the mud

[brittle garnet]

Sorry but Silksong is not popular enough for TGA

[coarse leaf]

never even heard of starfield before 🤔

[keen kiln]

one of these games doesn't even have a name

[brittle garnet]

If you look at the trailers for each game, the least views among them is 8.2 million, double the amount of views the Silksong trailer has

And Starfield trailer has the most, 15 million

Odd because I literally never heard of Starfield until now.

[winter cypress]

silksong erasure

[lone lichen]

the team cherry and nintendo channel views combined are over 7 million

[brittle garnet]

You can't just combine the views since a lot of them are from the same people.

And that's still less than any of those games.

[lone lichen]

does yt only count unique viewers for each video?

[pallid flare]

unique viewers, yeah

not that this matters at all

[lone lichen]

my bad then

[coarse leaf]

at least we can be proud of this

[gilded adder]

Silksong is also one of the top wishlisted games.

[coarse leaf]

😌

[pallid flare]

what even is party animals

[gilded adder]

John, why do you think TGA is bad?

[opaque sigil]

It’s built with a bias towards AAA games

[gilded adder]

Tammo

[nimble radish]

how does TGA work

[opaque sigil]

Voting for the nominees

So it’s more a contest of audience size than quality

[vagrant umbra]

So just any yearly award program.

[brittle garnet]

Community votes for the winners in each category, the nominees of which are curated by a jury of "industry veterans", and then the same jury actually chooses the winners themselves, the votes only "contribute" to the pick.

[cedar trench]

what is an "elden ring" :trolled:

[radiant wraith]

A ring but elden

[cedar trench]

honestly you are right

[vagrant umbra]

A game that if bad, makes me lose faith in every AAA company aside from Nintendo.

[radiant wraith]

elden: (adj) possesing eldeness

[cedar trench]

can't wait for it to be fallout 76 but more berable and average

[nimble radish]

why would you have faith in nintendo

[cedar trench]

why would you have faith

[gilded adder]

why would you have

[dusty nimbus]

Tbh I've lost all hope of silksong releasing this year

[vagrant umbra]

Their PR is bad for sure, but they make good games.

[nimble radish]

I haven't, christmas release lets goooooooooo

[formal karma]

def not releasing this year

[cedar trench]

its just the natural process of disillusio- CHRISTYMAAAASSSSQSSGGSGSGSGSSSSSSSD

[gilded adder]

I don't think anyone genuinely believes it's coming out this year. We're just hoping for a release date sometime soon.

[radiant wraith]

I still think 2023+ but participating in a cult is fun

[brittle garnet]

So yeah TGA isn't even determined by the votes. Last year Ghost of Tsushima had the majority of the votes for GOTY but TLoU2 won.

[formal karma]

2023 seems entirely unreasonable

[cedar trench]

2023 is too far imo

[dusty nimbus]

But GOD DAMN it would be fucking sick to see Christopher Larkin on that stage with live orchestra

[gilded adder]

2022 gang let's go

[formal karma]

buuut who knows

[coarse leaf]

Mid 2022 is my guess

[opaque sigil]

2023 isn’t out of the question

[brittle garnet]

My guess is... Sometime in the near future, probably within 6 months.

[cedar trench]

it isn't but lets be fair, we don't want it to be that late

[dusty nimbus]

Have 5 years passed?

[opaque sigil]

If it takes that long then yeah, I want it to be that late

[radiant wraith]

We don't want it to be not now

[vagrant umbra]

I just want to know the crucial moment they swap from their scope creep stage to bug fixing, game testing, and finalizing stage.

[coarse leaf]

Tbf, I would just get an updated trailer instead of a date release at this moment
I want to see how SS evolved from the 2019 trailer

[cedar trench]

yeah i get what you are saying

[formal karma]

when we get to dec 13th 2021, that'd be 2 years after Silksong was reported to be (reasonably) bigger than HK

[dusty nimbus]

To then go back into bug fixing again

[radiant wraith]

I don't want any more information except a release date, I think we already know so so much

[vagrant umbra]

COUNT THE BENCHES

[formal karma]

the bench remark means nothing as far as im concerned...

[coarse leaf]

I mean, we just know about somethings here and there, but we don't have a lot of things to discuss

[vagrant umbra]

That’s the joke lad.

[formal karma]

it is EXCEEDINGLY difficult to tell tbh

[opaque sigil]

We have a lot to discuss

[coarse leaf]

like what?

[serene chasm]

tools

[cedar trench]

honestly i am really intrigued to see what the last judge is about

[radiant wraith]

Thing is, we had a while to discuss stuff

[formal karma]

we have all of the game to discuss

[opaque sigil]

Like everything we’ve seen

[brittle garnet]

I will maintain that Edge really felt like the last content sneakpeek

[cedar trench]

ozlin playtester??? ozlin playtester

[coarse leaf]

in 2019?

[opaque sigil]

Up until now

[formal karma]

well we have yet to see this years info, but i agree Arch

nah

[cedar trench]

i am guessing we could get something this christmas/holidays just to see how are the folks doing down there in australia

[vagrant umbra]

Ok

[serene chasm]

So we have an anti TGA cult now?

[formal karma]

also concievable we get nothing

[coarse leaf]

If I had to guess some time that SS could possibly get a release date/or even release, could probably be in January, February, June or December

[cedar trench]

honestly, curly, i have stopped hoping since a while ago

[formal karma]

sure, why not?

[vagrant umbra]

I mean, has Team Cherry ever done anything at TGA? Feels like a AAA announcement only kind of thing.

[serene chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/candy-mountain-shun-the-non-believer-charlie-the-unicorn-gif-10502445

[cedar trench]

just like real cults!

[coarse leaf]

I think they only showed in a Nintendo Direct and that's it

[opaque sigil]

TC hasn’t done anything at any event aside from that one E3 where the event was necessary for the type of news

[formal karma]

and wasn't there, like, 3 seconds in a direct?

[dusty nimbus]

[coarse leaf]

But now, SS for TGA in 2022

[cedar trench]

but now, ss for today, right now

[brittle garnet]

Like, if TC didn't have anything they wanted to show (which is supposedly the reason we don't get much news) all this time, it means that they didn't add anything exciting (content was finished) or they don't want to spoil anything else (no more content spoiled) so either way the next news has to be the release date or a development update.

[formal karma]

.>

[royal ridge]

Just sayin, another game from Nvidia Leak has been released today just as the leak says. Let's hype for 2022.02.01 release for Silksong

[elfin basin]

I hate to say this, but I uses to chech this Discord everyday. I've not checked it in weeks. Safe to say my hype for this game has diminished somewhat. I will for sure but this game Day One but atm I'm not too bothered for it. I cannot see them releasing SS in February since basically their entire player base will be playing Elden Ring. I reckon at best mid to late 2022.

[opaque sigil]

I mean it’s probably the latter

SS and elden ring occupy different niches.

[brittle garnet]

It doesn't exclude the former, though.

[formal karma]

feels like we've been saying "next news is announcement" since before edge

[thick silo]

i want ss :[

[coarse leaf]

And releasing SS in February won't be as a big issue as well tbf

[brittle garnet]

No, actually.

[serene chasm]

Judging from the server. ER and SS have a lot of player overlap

[coarse leaf]

like, people will play Elden Ring and Silksong

[opaque sigil]

Considering what we’ve seen in Edge it kinda does. They made a lot of progress that they could have shown prior

[nimble radish]

likely because ER has a huge playerbase

[opaque sigil]

Or just silksong

[brittle garnet]

Oh I meant the timeframe after Edge and why we didn't get anything in longer than usual.

[serene chasm]

Im excited for both. Though more for SS cause I suck at fromsoft games

[brittle garnet]

Haha same.

[cedar trench]

honestly if we predict what the next news will be about we are just going up the stairs and skipping 9 steps
first i'd rather be sure about when the next news well be

[formal karma]

certainly a reasonable guess.... but sadly there's just no knowing

[brittle garnet]

I'll probably play Elden Ring if Silksong doesn't release around that time, but I'll prioritize Silksong if they release at similar times.

[cedar trench]

i repeated myself whoopsies

[brittle garnet]

That's impossible to determine and is pointless.

[serene chasm]

Chris should release the moss theme music

[coarse leaf]

Same, but I never played Elder Ring, so idk about that game

[cedar trench]

i just want a fucking date

[brittle garnet]

PLEASE CHRISTOPHER LARKIMG

Give us the MOSS GROTTO THEME

[nimble steppe]

Love the moss grotto music

[coarse leaf]

At this point, just release the full SS OST

hi

hey

[serene chasm]

I need more SS music.

[thick silo]

Me too

[cedar trench]

i honestly just need time and a reason to keep going

[coarse leaf]

only for a little bit of cash

[proud vale]

People have remade the moss grotto theme pretty well

[coarse leaf]

you can have all the ss music you want

[serene chasm]

Yeah. Dr Sniggles remake is really good

[coarse leaf]

i want 3 dollars

[coarse leaf]

300 dollars*

[dusty nimbus]

Imagine Christopher Larkin on TGA on the stage with the live orchestra

[serene chasm]

I want treefiddy

[heady jetty]

Is silksong out yet?

[cedar trench]

honestly if you give me 9 bucks i might hum a possible final boss theme that could sound like it would be in silksong in vc

[dusty nimbus]

?sspsa

[heady jetty]

Sorry English only

[dusty nimbus]

It's the bot's command

[serene chasm]

Stop. I can only get so hyped

[heady jetty]

Oh I see so is that the download?

[dusty nimbus]

No

[cedar trench]

when is tga anyways

[dusty nimbus]

Yes, definitely

[dusty nimbus]

9th of December

[heady jetty]

I have downloaded silksong.exe onto my device, should I ignore the Windows antivirus warning and run it anyway?

[dusty nimbus]

Now have fun playing

[coarse leaf]

yes unfortunately

[cedar trench]

was wondering what this meant

thought this was going to be another 19th november fiasco

[dusty nimbus]

You see it needs to be downloaded in a special way, you shut off the computer go to sleep and Leth will be at your doorstep tomorrow to install it for you

I actually got it 3 weeks after I went to sleep

[heady jetty]

Good to know thank

[dusty nimbus]

Because I went in a coma from the hype

[coarse leaf]

if i don't have a pc, will he act it out for me?

[winter cypress]

dont be fooled, leth actually turns up to your house with a gun in his hand and kills you for seeing silksong too early

[dusty nimbus]

You'll need to implant Elon Musk's chip on your brain to complete download on another console

And I've heard it can be hacked easily

[dusty nimbus]

I have overcome that by dying and then coming back to life right after I died so I'll do it again to escape the punishment

[silver oak]

How many of those do you have now? Is it still just 3?

There's this one, the one with more text, and then the HD version

[winter cypress]

lmao can i have the raw image of leth with a gun

i like it

[balmy pasture]

there will never be news

[mental jacinth]

silksong

[radiant wraith]

based

[silver oak]

Is that the faaaaamous WeeblesJeebles??????????

[mental jacinth]

maybe

[silver oak]

ok
let me know if you find out

[mental jacinth]

[noble hamlet]

Man, no love for “Most Anticipated Game”

[silver oak]

hey leth!

[noble hamlet]

Who decides these nominees?!

[silver oak]

yeah, it's sad

[mental jacinth]

Someone who is not based

[silver oak]

I have legitimately never heard of Deathloop before today

[olive bobcat]

Did they finally announce Shark Tale 2 (the game)?

[formal karma]

the industry insider elites

[uncut citrus]

Yeah

Anyways about that moss mother/ uhh related thing in #hk-lore

[silver oak]

No
We do not go to that cursed place

[proud vale]

Hey Leth

[coarse leaf]

Me.

[uncut citrus]

Unn seems to still call back for her creation

[formal karma]

he didn't even say anything?

[mental jacinth]

Hey ss discussion what should i draw the knight doing today

[opaque sigil]

And the mosskin intend to return to her dream, plus she's implied to sustain them in some capacity

[proud vale]

You should draw the night doing P5 but as the player

[silver oak]

Eating pizza with hornet

[uncut citrus]

I don’t think they should go that far from Unn, especially as they would need to go thought the wasteland

[formal karma]

if anything leth showing up to comment on TGA means we get news on TGA

[nimble steppe]

How's leth been on late?

[mental jacinth]

yes

[silver oak]

Nothing can revive a chat like Leth randomly showing up for 20 seconds

Is he on west coast?

[uncut citrus]

Moss grotto Moss is pretty different from the one Unn made, I really don’t think having moss at two different places for two different reason means there a relation to them...

[mental jacinth]

Leth lives in hallownest

[opaque sigil]

That too

[silver oak]

Hallownest is on the west coast

[mental jacinth]

Of course

[opaque sigil]

"almost" certain?

[silver oak]

"latest blogpost"

[nimble radish]

theres always a chance

[opaque sigil]

Maybe make it harder to poke holes in them

[uncut citrus]

I think there more chances at gorb being an alien HB who created the universe than that « theory » to be true

[silver oak]

I don’t see how that’s passive aggressiveness

[cerulean sable]

I know right?

[pseudo umbra]

I'm kinda glad we aren't drip fed Silksong news over this long a span of time

I'd imagine by the time it's released I'd be over it

[warm bone]

elden ring

[lament lotus]

same tbh

[trim estuary]

What about Canadians and Mexicans and Brazilians huh

[warm bone]

still continental america

[lament lotus]

asia doesnt exist i guess

or europe

[trim estuary]

Yeah Asia doesn’t count

[warm bone]

Asia is fake

[lament lotus]

or all the others

[warm bone]

like Australia

[lament lotus]

[trim estuary]

Americans traditionally refers to North Americans

[uncut citrus]

Ok but maybe just a bit

Tiny little news?

[trim estuary]

Alternatively, release date??

[winter cypress]

[radiant wraith]

Leth being here confirms Australia hasn't sunk yet

At least it was still there as of 15 minutes ago

[pseudo umbra]

I'm from Sydney

[untold inlet]

Oh hey Leth is back

[radiant wraith]

Has Australia sunk?

[pseudo umbra]

Can confirm it hasn't sunk... yet...

[opaque sigil]

"I'm from Sydney" you say, water pooling around your ankles

[untold inlet]

Wait he's offline again

[radiant wraith]

[opaque sigil]

"It hasn't sunk...yet"

[pseudo umbra]

It's only up to my knees. Suffice to say, I'm on the 3rd floor of this building.

[trim estuary]

[untold inlet]

The fact that the BOTW sequel that doesn't even have a name is up for an award is so funny to me

[pseudo umbra]

We're actually considering a title change to 'Sinksong'

[opaque sigil]

Pharloom suffers the effects of climate change

[untold inlet]

"Most anticipated game" is honestly a really stupid category, you never see Oscars bring given out to movies that haven't released yet

[cerulean sable]

We might have lost the nominee, but we will win the release date

[untold inlet]

True true

[stark estuary]

Hey remember how "Project Octopath Traveller" didn't have an official name and then they just went "fuck it" and took the 'project' out.

[tawdry valley]

Is Silksong not nominated for that?

[radiant wraith]

May the words of the prophecy prove true

[tawdry valley]

Isn’t it literally the most wishlisted steam game?

[opaque sigil]

Nope

[opaque sigil]

Fourth most

[cerulean sable]

Elden Ring about to win it twice in the row lmao

[tawdry valley]

I mean I’m not saying it should win, but like-

[warm bone]

elden ring 😎

[radiant wraith]

If you see the other games you can see why, I'm not saying they are better, but an indie would not have been there

[tawdry valley]

Ah okay

[opaque sigil]

I mean it is higher than god of war but you know

[warm bone]

god of war is not a new game

[opaque sigil]

Ragnarok

Wait no the port

idk I don't follow god of war games

[warm bone]

bruh

[uncut citrus]

Well tbh I didn’t had SS on wishlist for so long cause well, it’s not like I’ll need a steam email to remind me to get it once it’s release

[radiant wraith]

They were gonna show the release date at TGA but decided not to because Silksong wasn't nominated

[uncut citrus]

Imagine

[rare nymph]

really?

[serene chasm]

You need to wish list it so it can be at the top of the wistlist games

[radiant wraith]

No, it's a joke

[stark estuary]

TBA more like TGA (eh? EH?)

[pseudo umbra]

We're also in the process of filling every room in the game with water

[radiant wraith]

Quirrel should turn off caps lock

and i suggest yall do the same for Silksong :^)

[opaque sigil]

I refuse

[cerulean sable]

[stark estuary]

I concur with Tammo

That is not an answer

[serene chasm]

Are we hating on Sherma

[radiant wraith]

I hate Sherma

[stark estuary]

I like Sherma

[nimble radish]

when the Sherma is Jerma

[serene chasm]

Sherma sucks and is evil. He probably kicks kittebs

[radiant wraith]

My favourite Silksong moment is when Sherma falls into a pool of acid and disintegrates

[nimble radish]

🐱 🦵

[winter cypress]

is this just trust issues after myla

[radiant wraith]

No, Sherma is evil before the infection

[stark estuary]

Nah Myla is lame, Sherma is based

[opaque sigil]

Based in pure chaos

[serene chasm]

The moment at the end where you see him crawling out the acid was pretty cool. Pretty much confirms hk3

[winter cypress]

fearless fox will feature grindell

[stark estuary]

That was already confirmed. Actually...

[winter cypress]

he looks enough like a fox

[stark estuary]

HK3 will be a prequel

[radiant wraith]

You have a moment where you can save Sherma or leave him to die. If you save him you are locked into the worst ending

[serene chasm]

A prequel to ss

[nimble radish]

a sequel to ss but a prequel to hk

[stark estuary]

A prequel to both SS and HK

The main character is Esmy

[radiant wraith]

Quirrel comic midquel

[silver oak]

A sequel to HK but not SS

[stark estuary]

And you fight in the

In the battle of Blackwyrm

It's a spinoff game that's actually just reskinned Candy Crush

The cult that will bring us salvation for a year of drought

Im not here to seek conflict, rather a restoration of what is right

[cerulean sable]

We will NOT be denied Silksong

[uncut citrus]

funni

[stark estuary]

The infection itself causes symptoms similar to those which occur after consuming a hallucinogen, so Gulka Venom's properties must come from it containing a liquid form of said infection. Thus, it can be inferred that the consumption of infected Aspid Mothers may cause adverse side-effects, and therefore they should no longer be used as pinatas in children's birthday parties. In addition, Leg Eater should be placed on death row for attempting to sell infected Gruzzer ice cream to a toddler.

[uncut citrus]

Now that’s real lore

[opaque sigil]

God dammit Kiiiiiiiirb

[winter cypress]

also salubra and emelitia are high on pink

No.

Remember kids, stay in school and don't drink the Gruzzer milk, especially when it's laced with a funny looking orange substance! Otherwise, you'll end up like Soul Master!

[stark estuary]

"clearly"

Tammo if SS releases before TGA (which it certainly will), then that will make you the clown.

[opaque sigil]

I'll take those odds

[gilded adder]

We can be clowns together, Tammo.

[cerulean sable]

the broke is those who claim itll release before TGA

[vivid belfry]

there is no shame in being a clown as long as it's purposeful

[cerulean sable]

the wokes are those who claim itll show up in TGA, but only for a release date 😎

[vivid belfry]

the wokes are those who put chemicals in the paint that turn the frickin bugs gay

[cerulean sable]

no those are bioterrorist but we also have them under the subset

[radiant wraith]

They will announce the announcement of the release date at TGA:
Release date reveal feb 21

[uncut citrus]

Would make sense ig

[knotty dragon]

yeah i feel like a release date would make more sense

[stark estuary]

The release date is revealed on 1 Feb 22, and we come full circle.

[radiant wraith]

They should say the game releases on the 22 but without saying year or month

[knotty dragon]

thats the most evilest thing imagineable

[radiant wraith]

Could be worse

They could come to the stage and then announce the game is cancelled

[knotty dragon]

oh yeah you're right

[marsh ibex]

Some dude there said it was in development hell lmao

classic case of using words or phrases you don’t know the meaning of

[cerulean sable]

theyll eat their fucking words next month mark my words

[radiant wraith]

The prophet has spoken

[languid linden]

Development hell is when the game devs are sent to hell for taking too long on the game

[knotty dragon]

hey taco can i join your cult

[high hedge]

I wonder what the spacing between the release date announcement and the actual release will be

[warm bone]

a month

[still elm]

probably very brief

[vivid belfry]

development hell is when a game isn't in the nintendo direct

[high hedge]

“We’re happy to announce that Silksong will release in 5 years!” Then they bury it in a time capsule

Which gets lost to time after Australia sinks to the ocean floor

[untold inlet]

Thank you for that elaborate explanation. I appreciate research and good paragraphing, which is why it pains me to explain that it was all hyperbole.

[fiery coral]

[uncut citrus]

Exactly, at least one person here knows what it means smh

[uncut citrus]

Probably between a month and two week imo

[gilded adder]

Inject Silksong into my veins

[novel flicker]

I fear

[heady jolt]

honestly the fact leth didnt say anything about silksong not being there increases hopium a bit

[vivid belfry]

see this is exactly what I predicted

Leth says silksong isn't going to be at one event and now he's been promoted to chief event appearance denier

[gilded adder]

Yea, I think Leth not saying anything has no bearing on whether or not Silksong will be at TGA.

[silver oak]

*frogs

[heady jolt]

still gotta get the hopium

[silver oak]

*water

[heady jolt]

frogeline from celestecord real lfg

[gilded adder]

Froge

Ched

[cerulean sable]

doesnt matter

im gonna move the goalpost to december anyway

[vivid belfry]

I don't know why we're even arguing about TGA when the game is going to shadow drop in 3 days anyway

[gilded adder]

TRUE

[uncut citrus]

[coarse leaf]

in 2 days*

[random granite]

look just always believe the game will release tomorrow, then when tomorrow comes it will be today and you'll have to wait for tomorrow again

[trim estuary]

impossible

[coarse leaf]

SILKSONG RELEASED?!

[marsh ibex]

Agony

I spent all that time

[hollow sedge]

honestly im not really surprised silksong didnt win the nomination for most anticipated

get the nomination*

[marsh ibex]

other games fucked it over

other games that have actual release windows

[hollow sedge]

i dont think god of war has a release window

[fiery coral]

by being more anticipated on account of having hype built up that isn't necessarily from the pre-existing fanbase

[hollow sedge]

actually nvm, its 2022 but no date

[heady jolt]

it wasnt even an option for nomination iirc

[marsh ibex]

also wasn’t silksong already on a previous one

or am I on crack

[fiery coral]

...was it?

[gilded adder]

Also, Elden Ring was on the last one for most anticipated game and it's on this one again.

[glacial niche]

Plot twist: it's shadow dropping in 2021 which is why it can't be anticipated

[coarse leaf]

Starfield have a release window?

[marsh ibex]

yeah geoff was like “yeah TC hasn’t contacted me about any information since they have ligma” @fiery coral

[hollow sedge]

yeah November 11th, 2022 i think

[marsh ibex]

ligma eggs you stinky exam taker gotteem

[fiery coral]

[hollow sedge]

starfield is the one im most excited for, been waiting for about as long as silksong

[gilded adder]

What's Starfield even?

[nimble radish]

garfield in space

[stark estuary]

Yeah

[hollow sedge]

sci-fi space rpg

[marsh ibex]

Gross

play a real game instead. One called ET

[coarse leaf]

for the Atari 2800

[cerulean sable]

Skyrim in Space

[fiery coral]

can you even keep track of Mondays in outer space

[cerulean sable]

with hopefully an actually good story and gameplay

[marsh ibex]

Yes

though it varies based on your location so ultimately pointless

[hollow sedge]

its either starfield is a complete disaster or its the next big thing

[uncut citrus]

That idea ain’t new #sk-discussion message

[coarse leaf]

Btw, I thought Elden Ring had a release date for like, February 2022, wasn't it?

[cerulean sable]

honestly considering what they did to F4 and Skyrim, theyre gonna have another streamlined story with disonnance to the pacing

[nimble radish]

when it's monday you just feel it because of the bad vibes

[gilded adder]

That is correct

[nimble radish]

jjust like slkosng

[cerulean sable]

i hate how theyve framed the main quest in those games as like, super urgent, and you have to do them NOW

yet you can fuck around sidequests while nothing ever moves until you do something

[uncut citrus]

You sure your good there?

[nimble radish]

my good?

[uncut citrus]

Yes your good

[hollow sedge]

silksongs release will be on December 23rd, 2 weeks after the game awards 😈

[uncut citrus]

Hand it over

[nimble radish]

me sure my good here

[uncut citrus]

Hand over your good rn

[coarse leaf]

Nah, it will release January 1st

[frank sparrow]

Hand over the kids

[uncut citrus]

How do you know I have them?

Who told you?

[frank sparrow]

I have sources- chaotic sources

[uncut citrus]

Was it josh?

[coarse leaf]

But.... I already have the game :((

So you can trust on what I'm saying!

[stiff owl]

So

We have no idea what the ending could be

Any speculation or ideas?

[silver oak]

What if the game doesn't end

[serene chasm]

Hornet either dies or doesn't

[stiff owl]

Heaven

[silver oak]

SS is a roguelike confirmed

[serene chasm]

Yes it goes on and on, my friend

[heavy magnet]

theory - game content will never end
because quests will be randomly generated and will never run out

[serene chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-no-angry-steve-carell-michael-scott-gif-5606969

[cerulean sable]

i will go back in time and destroy bethesda for this

[winter cypress]

randomly generated quests never go well

look at starbound

[serene chasm]

we truly are in the darkest timeline

[chilly nexus]

check the lore doc in my name for end theories!

[silver oak]

"Team Cherry has been acquired by Microsoft"

[uncut citrus]

Imagine Riot actually manage to buy TC

[radiant wraith]

You need to connect to Ubisoft launcher to play Hollow Knight: Silksong

[uncut citrus]

Ea buys silksong and you gotta pay 5$ for each bench

2$ only for lifeblood

[fleet temple]

Silksong will be announced at minecon 2022

[brave stone]

but will Silksong have enough detotated wam for the server?

[untold inlet]

*sewvew

[opaque sigil]

[vagrant umbra]

New mob vote: Copper Golem, Mimics, or Silksong. That’s right, vote for Silksong to be a mob in the game before we cancel the actual release!

[green kraken]

silksong now

[untold inlet]

i want it to be the 9th already

3 more weeks

whatever the outcome is this server is gonna absolutely collapse

[tribal merlin]

you missed the same as always
nothing

[untold inlet]

the game awards are on the 9th

Good luck on your travels

[buoyant pumice]

inb4 Leth slides in with this but swap Direct with game awards

[proud vale]

Taco will not cope

[buoyant pumice]

Bro the Edge magazine article was like 10 months ago already what the fuck

[worthy idol]

forgot silksong even existed until i opened this channel lol

[buoyant pumice]

You should’ve never returned here

[untold inlet]

With each day that passes this grows less likely

[trim estuary]

You know what’s 2 days before TGA? Fortnite Chapter 3. Silksong is Hungry Knight 3. You know what was announced 2 days before the TGA cult started? Terraria X DST’s update release date. You know what Terraria starts with? A “T”. You know how many letters the abbreviation of Don’t Starve Together has? 3. T__. TGA. Clearly, these are signs that Silksong’s release date will be announced at The Game Awards.

[untold inlet]

Today he acknowledged TGA but didn't deconfirm so I have hope

[trim estuary]

Here I’ll finish it for you
is silksong out yet

[cerulean sable]

Leth already showed up

[buoyant pumice]

We had hope when the Indie Worlds happened, and look where that got us

[cerulean sable]

and we havent seen him deconfirm it... yet

[buoyant pumice]

Riots in the streets

[trim estuary]

Well that’s because Indie World lunatics, are, well… lunatics

[buoyant pumice]

war flashbacks to the 15th of December

[gilded adder]

You could not live with your own failure and where did that bring you? Back to me.

[trim estuary]

#736153283508436993 being updated must mean silksoon since there are going to be a lot more reports when more people join the server thanks to Ss

[buoyant pumice]

Fuck it, we had EDGE theory, time for TGA Theory

[trim estuary]

Wait there was an EDGE theory?

[gilded adder]

I remember when I initially doubted Edge theory.

And then I was the clown.

[buoyant pumice]

Any time I think about Silksong my mind flashes to this fucking tumblr post

[gilded adder]

Yea, Jen (the author) seemed to have teased the article beforehand and people caught on and made a theory about it.

[trim estuary]

Brb gonna watch Geoff’s twitter

[gilded adder]

inb4 Geoff posts the 🥛 emoji and everyone goes crazy

[warm bone]

you fool, I was an edge believer before it was cool

that's the last thing I believed in tho

[gilded adder]

Gaming no longer a believer

[trim estuary]

That would be the best way to tease it in a way very very few people would get

[buoyant pumice]

I stopped hoping after Indie World of December 2020

Those who hope are not fools, but the entire colosseum

[gilded adder]

iirc Jen did a similar thing

[stiff owl]

Sonksill

[trim estuary]

Haven’t heard that one before.

[buoyant pumice]

Precept 56: Do Not Dream

[gilded adder]

Dream No More

[buoyant pumice]

It’s been 10 months, I’ve stopped hoping for news

If you’re pessimistic, the more likely things are to surprise you

Being optimistic just leads you to more disappointment

[untold inlet]

imagine if there's someone out there who just bought/hasn't yet bought hollow knight and finishes the game the day before SS releases

lucky bastard

[buoyant pumice]

Lucky mfer

[untold inlet]

joke's on them tho, we'll enjoy it more

SS will be good in its own right but having waited this long will make it even better

[trim estuary]

Unless we’ve waited for so long we no longer want the game

[untold inlet]

kinda like how food tastes better when you're hungry

[radiant wraith]

Speak for yourself

[worthy idol]

except i stopped being hungry

[trim estuary]

Because you’re dead

[untold inlet]

tbh i thought this was happening to me but returning to this cord in anticipation of TGA has fired up my hype thrusters again

[trim estuary]

Same, and it’s very unfortunate for me

[buoyant pumice]

Then you 100% the game in a week and feel just as hollow as the fucking shadow creepers

Then it’s dlc begging

[untold inlet]

don't

[trim estuary]

I don’t think it’ll be that easy

[radiant wraith]

I spoke against doing that just today

[untold inlet]

i'm absolutely gonna do that and i hate it, idk what i'll do after the game is done

[vivid belfry]

do it again

[untold inlet]

then again hk took me like 50 hours to complete

[vivid belfry]

if you think I won't be speedrunning silksong for the rest of my life you're a fool, I'm still speedrunning HK

and it doesn't even have a sprint button

[trim estuary]

They said it’ll be much bigger than HK and it took me nearly a month to complete HK (including PoH)
Also silk soul?? You still gotta 100% that and possibly speedrun achievements

[buoyant pumice]

Silk Soul

[trim estuary]

Dash

[vivid belfry]

not the same thing

[trim estuary]

you saw nothing

[buoyant pumice]

I’m 100%ing HK again cuz I’m bored

[vivid belfry]

the difference between repeatedly pressing a button and press and hold is an ocean

[gilded adder]

My poor finger can finally be at peace

[untold inlet]

I'm definitely gonna silk soul SS even though I haven't steel souled HK

[buoyant pumice]

But seriously, half the hours I spend on my first run will literally just be me getting whooped by the bosses

Cuz goddamn, first time I played HK, it took me 7+ tries to beat False Knight

And I may just be stupid

[gilded adder]

They said Silk Soul will change the game and provide a new "spin" to it so I'm assuming it will be more unique than Steel Soul.

[chilly nexus]

The way I'd go wild for a 🥛 from Geoff's twitter

[serene chasm]

it took me 1.7 times to beat FK

[gilded adder]

Yo, Jacoby, how was Elden Ring? Did you get to play the beta?

[trim estuary]

Spoiler alert: you literally spin with every attack

[buoyant pumice]

Instead of bind, you heal like back in HK, one mask, but it takes all your soul like binding

[radiant wraith]

Bicycle king Grimm took so long the first time

[trim estuary]

How did it take .7 of a try??

[buoyant pumice]

Grimm learning to ride a bike is my favorite moment in HK

[chilly nexus]

I did! it was pretty much exactly what I hoped for tbh. I have a few small complaints but some are probably cuz it was a demo, and others are largely preference

[radiant wraith]

But once I beat him, he became one of the bosses I could do most consistently. It's like learning to ride a bike

[gilded adder]

How much did they let you explore? Was anything gated off?

[chilly nexus]

We were in a gated off corner of the map ye. I'm pretty sure they removed some lore npc's and added some extra significant items (unless the starting area is supposed to give you as much as it did, which would be fantastic)

It took me ~6 hours to see everything I could and make it to the "More awaits you at the game's official release" ladder. I'm a pretty thorough explorer, but did miss maybe 20% of the content they gave us

[serene chasm]

How was the exploration and world? Was it fun to traverse and discover new things? Did areas feel like they had story behind them?

[chilly nexus]

It was very fun to explore with lots of unique areas and loot hidden away (some were even hidden at the ends of parkour sections that you would go "did they intend for me to be able to explore this XYZ?" and then you make it to the end, find a good item and go "wow. they really did plan this")

the world was super vibrant, but it did feel a little void-of-culture, if that makes sense? It could be that they removed some lore and npc's so the demo wouldn't spoil too much, but it felt similarly to exploring non-civilized areas of breath of the wild, but without the blight everywhere

+with more unique loot and dungeons to find

[gilded adder]

You ride your horse around to explore, right? Does the game have fast-travel or was it not available in the demo?

[chilly nexus]

though tbh, the mini-dungeons felt a little "chalice-dungeon" esque :p the real dungeons we got to explore the first bit of felt similar to a Ds1 or Ds3 region

[chilly nexus]

You can teleport to any shard of grace you've found from anywhere on the map (save for a few locations)

the horse is super fun and speedy

[gilded adder]

That's nice, appreciate the convenience.

[chilly nexus]

Most things shown in the various elden ring trailers were present in the demo and playable. I was surprised by how much of what they showed us was in just one area (which speaks to how big the game might be)

omg hornet on a horse :p

imagine if garmond/zaza (the rider) dies at the end of their questline, and the vehicle bug joins hornet as a 'horse'

[trim estuary]

horset
hornset
hornse

[serene chasm]

New Goal: beat P5 before Silksong news

that would be pretty easy considering you have thousands of years until SS news

Silksong actually kinda did get robbed for not being on the most anticipated games nominees

Cant be the most anticipated game if its coming out right after the awards

This is today’s Daily SS news @ everyone

[woeful thistle]

What do people think about the leak, real or fake

[normal token]

Nvidia leak?

[woeful thistle]

I'm probably 10 years late lol

[analog lily]

both

[woeful thistle]

[normal token]

I personally think it's fake but ss news at tga though 😳

[woeful thistle]

I hope there wrong because then I have to decide ss or elden ring

[normal token]

Both

[tough glen]

probably real leak, doesn't necessarily mean that's really when it'll come out

[woeful thistle]

True

[tough glen]

might be placeholder or sth

But for once I'm not completely pessimistic

[analog lily]

in all seriousness though i think the leak is real
just that it is nvidia's guess and not TC

[chilly nexus]

Listening to Message In a Bottle thinking about the timeline where SS is at TGA

I'm not saying them not deconfirming it means it'll be there, but them not deconfirming it doesn't mean it won't be there

Hi guys just testing some things

[proud vale]

Hey SimoGraig

[lapis pivot]

in a shocking twist of fate, ss-discussion remained inactive for all of two minutes after a message from a noteworthy individual

[upper sigil]

[lapis pivot]

what are the odds of that?

[iron spear]

"noteworthy" I'm literally the worst person to be taking notes from

Or... Am I???

[cunning geode]

Simo get off your alt

its only for testing not messing around

[lapis pivot]

there's probably at least one conspiracy nut out there who has a detailed noteboard with every chat message from you that they are convinced is some kind of obscure hint to silksong

[cunning geode]

i wonder how many lurkers get the complete wrong idea from all of our tomfoolery

hi chat-

goodbye chat

[worthy cedar]

aaaa ok

[prime ridge]

Guys here’s a theory. On the game awards 2021 website you can vote for the most anticipated game BoTW2, Horizon etc. But there is no silksong so I think a game that anticipated not being up there probably means that they are going to announce it on gameawards

[fiery coral]

we can but hope

[worthy cedar]

[cunning geode]

butt hope

[modest night]

thinking about do you really think they would release it in february when elden ring is supposed to come out?

[uncut citrus]

didnt leth said they dont matter that much in the crosworn/silksong interview?

[modest night]

haven't watched it

[proud vale]

Can TC choose to not have their game included in the nominations?

[uncut citrus]

hold on imma try to find the moment

[proud vale]

I thought it was a public vote

[hushed wasp]

there was a crownsworn silksong interview? when?

[uncut citrus]

8th may

[hushed wasp]

can you send it

link it*

[uncut citrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7NgnKRJRBE

[serene chasm]

Yes. It would be a power move on fromsoft, forcing them to delay elden ring another 3 months

[cerulean sable]

you mean Team "We were actually really happy that we released during BOTW because the low profile allowed us to do bug fixes without too many people playing it - APWOT Magazine" Cherry

that being said Feb release is honestly too packed

but well see if TC gives a shit or not

[primal fractal]

reevers is so close to 15% i can feel it

[iron spear]

Can someone interview me for one smh

[uncut citrus]

litterally just a few weeks and i got 14.167%, then about three days later ill probably reach 14.175, then i'll just need a few weeks for the last 0.015%

[lone lichen]

graig interview question 1: what is the most effective way to punish leth for risk of rain 1's netcode

[uncut citrus]

last 0.015 might take a few months even tho

wait a minute thats now how math works

i just realize now my perfect logical thing about what counts at % will only get me to 14.200%

[tawdry valley]

Can’t, we keep falling off the side of the continent into space down below

[tawdry valley]

Alternatively, we have changed our release date to the date of “x indie game’s release”

[iron spear]

Should I make a discord for it? not sure if I can be bothered lmao

youll have to get mods,admins,bots and stuff

[proud vale]

Silk

[uncut citrus]

No

[upbeat marlin]

Well we try took look after members of our community

[wispy burrow]

why are the reactions "1 MONTH"

[opaque sigil]

Because somebody decided to put those reactions there

[wispy burrow]

Yes but what does it mean

[opaque sigil]

Nothing

[wispy burrow]

Wha

[fallow apex]

It means the phraze „1 month”

[normal token]

TGA I guess

[coarse leaf]

Where silksong ?

[cerulean sable]

not a triple A title

so your chances are super slim

[fiery coral]

hasn't really accumulated as much hype either, I don't think

[coarse leaf]

ok but have you heard a single person talk about Starfield

[cerulean sable]

yeah its easy for us to say because were in a vocal group

[fallow apex]

I haven’t Heard about 3 of those games

[opaque sigil]

I mean just look at the developers there... Fromsoft, Nintendo, Bethesda, TC can't really compete

[fiery coral]

only complaints about the lack of news, last time I checked 🥴

although to be fair that was a while ago

[opaque sigil]

TC's big but it isn't big ™️

[coarse leaf]

I mean i agree with 4/5 of these picks

ok 3.5/5 since I haven't heard that much excitement for Horizon Forbidden West

[coarse leaf]

i think they had some news in the skyrim anniversary recently

[wispy burrow]

yall are saying the wrong reason

it isn't because silksong is an indie game

[brittle garnet]

It's because Silksong isn't nearly as popular as those games, which is indirectly caused by it being an indie game.

[normal token]

I mean silksong is a popular game but I see youe point

[opaque sigil]

Silksong isn't really popular relative to those games and developers

[normal token]

I'm surprised they didn't put Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in there

[brittle garnet]

Silksong only seems popular to us because we are in the little bubble of indie games

[normal token]

It has 4.2M views on Youtube

[opaque sigil]

Well, SS has arguably leaked into the mainstream but it isn't as large as AAAs from renowned studios

[brittle garnet]

The game from that list that has the least views on its trailer has 8.2M

[wispy burrow]

no

it's because silksong isn't coming out in 2022 therefore it can't be anticipated for next year :)

[opaque sigil]

Plus a lot of those games were announced in/had a date reveal in 2021

So there's way more focus on them in the overall gaming community

That category doesn't require a 2022 release, at least not explicitly

[wispy burrow]

the nominations are carried out by 100 "juries" that are mostly journalists that are allowed to choose

and guess what game is not on journalist's minds right now

"that indie from 2019"

hollow knight is not small. and is especially big for an indie. it's just hard to compete for with AAA open world games and it being almost three years since announcement

honestly silksong will be a contender for several categories for sure

because it's not really just popularity for most of these categories.

the nominations are from those worldwide 100, then the voting is

90% influenced by them

10% by public vote

[normal token]

Didn't HK actually win some awards btw

[wispy burrow]

this makes it so that as long as those 100 are paying attention (they are given a catalogue of the games from the year to play) then ANY indie has a big chance

[normal token]

Celeste as well

[wispy burrow]

Yeah, there's almost always at least one indie in contestion in most categories

I know people whine and say the event is 90% just AAA companies paying for shit, but frankly?

not really

they pay attention to the entire scene

[normal token]

Not to mention TGA asked TC if they want to be in TGA twice

[fiery coral]

you know what they say

third time's the charm!

[normal token]

[languid linden]

What, it actually is

[coarse leaf]

amputated?

[trim estuary]

nopedal

[trim estuary]

Paraplegic?

No that’s paralyzed

[opaque sigil]

There isn't a taxonomical category for legless animals

[trim estuary]

Protista

[opaque sigil]

Protists don't have legs (although some have flagella) but there are organisms without legs that aren't protists

[cunning geode]

lots of animals we call worms would count

snakes too
