[opaque sigil]

Then Shakra has bad intel

[fallow rock]

looks like we actually have a conversation that sticks to silksong

[opaque sigil]

I assume Shakra isn't randomly scouring the world and had an actual reason to be looking in Pharloom

[fallow rock]

or that she's unaware of her masters demise

[opaque sigil]

She would still have bad intel

[fallow rock]

maybe its master hu

[opaque sigil]

If her master died in Hallownest but she's looking for them in Pharloom that wouldn't make much sense

[naive flax]

Silksong will be at game award

[stark estuary]

Well Tammo, Elder Hu got deported from Pharloom because he was smuggling a copious amount of Gulka venom. He said it was for "medicinal purposes". While not an illegal substance, he was also found holding onto a large quantity of Gruzzer milk.

[normal token]

God I hate clown spam

[fallow rock]

yep same here

also what are those

[mystic pewter]

god I wish I had enough hope left to believe you

[opaque sigil]

But I love to watch 'em muted

[fallow rock]

what in pale king name is a clown spam

[opaque sigil]

Oh you sweet innocent child

[normal token]

You changed your pfp like 2 times in a day nice

[pallid flare]

throw out all rationale and believe in TGA

[normal token]

I will believe ss news in tga and nobody will stop me except for Leth

[fallow rock]

are clown spam just people spamming the clown emoji or something because i don`t know what that shit is thanks for telling me

[normal token]

Yes

And that annoying clown hk pic

[mystic pewter]

[normal token]

[coarse leaf]

he's looking for his master who disappeared a long time ago, it's known

[opaque sigil]

Yes I did say that

The point is where she's looking

[normal token]

Well her master is somewhere in Pharloom

Or it turns out their fucking dead

[opaque sigil]

Either way they're probably in Pharloom, else Shakra would have no reason to look there

[digital junco]

her master is 6 feet under pharloom dw guys

[fallow rock]

wait hold on what about bell daughter that raises the question of "where the hell is bell mother"

[cunning geode]

daughter of all the bells

[opaque sigil]

When searching for somebody who disappeared, the sane thing is to search where they were last known to be. This, I imagine, is what Shakra is doing

[normal token]

Forge Father, Forge Mother, Forge Daughter, Forge Sun, Forge Grandfather, Forge Grandmother

[vale galleon]

wait you say sun as in like the giant ball of flaming gas, not son as in like the male child of someone

[nimble radish]

yeah what of it

[vale galleon]

good point

[opaque sigil]

is it tho

[vale galleon]

yes. it is.

[random fox]

Cute dog

[fallow rock]

well #hk-meme made a new meme

[uncut citrus]

Dabbin Grimm?

[fallow rock]

yes sadly

[winter cypress]

its not funny if #hk-meme does it

[uncut citrus]

Don’t worry I’m aware, it’ll be better to keep it out of any other non contaminated channel

[opaque sigil]

#hk-meme is the designated quarantine zone

[fallow rock]

is there cure for what they have doctor

[opaque sigil]

No

[coarse leaf]

#hk-meme is a cesspit

[radiant wraith]

They make us look good

[warm bone]

its a chronic condition, being unfunny

[radiant wraith]

You gotta admit tho, me when beans is extremely funny

[opaque sigil]

Do I

Do I gotta admit that

[coarse leaf]

it's admirable that ur able to be so open about ur condition

[radiant wraith]

Specially the 322nd time

[uncut citrus]

It is once, over 3 times it become physically painful

[opaque sigil]

Then Quirrel doesn't know who I am lmao

[warm bone]

hahaha yeahhhh....

[fallow rock]

#hk-meme studies show that it`s a scientific fact that #hk-meme has a chronic condition that will exist for rest of its unfunny ass years

[winter cypress]

lethal injection

[uncut citrus]

Ok but let’s not bring that here

[radiant wraith]

We have our own condition here

Madness

[fallow rock]

yep that's the ONLY way for those madmen to be cured

also who the hell henrick?

[glacial gulch]

wen game

[fallow rock]

[radiant wraith]

Somedeh

[glacial gulch]

[opaque sigil]

Pulls one of the caravan carts

[fallow rock]

this guy

[radiant wraith]

Cute

[fallow rock]

who sorry missed spell but adorable

[opaque sigil]

Henrick isn't an official name

[uncut citrus]

Both

[opaque sigil]

What the flea caravan isn't good enough for you

[brittle garnet]

man i really love the caravan gif

[radiant wraith]

Look at the reaction the little flea at seeing Hornet

I wonder if fleas bark

[winter cypress]

how dare you

[uncut citrus]

Ok ok ok sorry i love every frame of silksong news

[winter cypress]

damn fucking right you do

[brittle garnet]

no

it's like 17 months old

[uncut citrus]

Nothing is new anymore

[fallow rock]

and lets hope it doesn`t go into the grub father direction because no body wants that

[opaque sigil]

Grubfather was fine

Weird life cycle, that's all

[fallow rock]

yeah he's going to die after that

[opaque sigil]

Maybe but he seems fine with it

Just part of life for his kind

[stark estuary]

Sad!

[fallow rock]

but touching

[uncut citrus]

Are you sure he won’t just vomite them

[opaque sigil]

He might

[radiant wraith]

No.

Death.

[stark estuary]

Like seahorses

But where is Grubmother

[uncut citrus]

dead

[radiant wraith]

Hermaphrodism

[stark estuary]

I have a theory that Grubmother is Marmu.

[opaque sigil]

[stark estuary]

If you look closely you will realise they are both green

[uncut citrus]

What the heck.

[radiant wraith]

No way!

[stark estuary]

AND Marmu is a caterpillar

Grubs look like caterpillars

Actually maybe Grubmother is Bardoon

[radiant wraith]

Mambruuu!

[uncut citrus]

But they are grubberfly or something

[uncut citrus]

Can we leave mah boi bardoon out of this?

[opaque sigil]

imma just /s for Kirb so he doesn't have to disrupt the joke

[stark estuary]

Joke is over. I can't think of anything else to add.

[opaque sigil]

[stark estuary]

Not even I can create evidence out of thin air

[uncut citrus]

Thank god

[radiant wraith]

Esmy is grubmother I think

[opaque sigil]

Sure about that one

[stark estuary]

Hmm

[uncut citrus]

[stark estuary]

Well everything I have said so far has cited evidence, and follows the same line of reasoning which every bs theory uses

[opaque sigil]

ie no reasoning

[stark estuary]

no reasoning required*

"It can't be disproven, and I have this random piece of circumstantial evidence, therefore I am right".

[uncut citrus]

Silksong release date speculating

[stark estuary]

That's different

[opaque sigil]

Silksong release date speculation is just a string of random dates over the next six months

[stark estuary]

1 Feb 2048 is my best guess

30 years of dev time is what HK had, it logically follows that SS will need the same amount.

[radiant wraith]

Silksong will release on a special day

[stark estuary]

Every day is a special day

[radiant wraith]

So I'm right?

[stark estuary]

Except the day SS releases

[radiant wraith]

[stark estuary]

I don't make the rules

[digital junco]

silksong releases when humanity dies out dont worry everyone

[sacred stratus]

but I gave all of my humanity to the fair lady. why is SS not here yet?

[jade canopy]

Try lunge

Warning ennemi

Might help not sure you tell me what happend

[uncut citrus]

Silksong will actually release when I reach 15%

It’s more like I’ll reach 15% when Silksong will release but those are details

[stark estuary]

@ Mods rename Reevers I 14.150% to Reevers I 15.000%

[cunning geode]

14.999%

[uncut citrus]

I was so close to 14.250% today tho, stupid muscles memory didn’t like sussent Sbody change tho

[tawdry valley]

sv_cheats 1

give item_Silksong

[coarse leaf]

forget about Silksong

[opaque sigil]

No

[stark estuary]

ok

[uncut citrus]

I wish

[untold inlet]

I've been experiencing so much Silksong hype I like subconsciously think it's out

Like I'm thinking of something to do to relax after school and my brain is like "you should play Silksong! Oh, wait..."

If we don't get news at TGA I will be a shell of a person

[uncut citrus]

Does that mean you will be hollow

With a shell

Like... like vessels you know

They will become the Hollow Knight

T-G-A! T-G-A! T-G-A!

[opaque sigil]

[stark estuary]

Translation: Stop! Stop! Stop!

[opaque sigil]

Unfortunately I don't think TGA is a stop codon but then again my bio knowledge is rusty

[brittle garnet]

I'm mildly hopeful but I know that if not, we'll probably get news in december anyway, and if we don't It'll just make me more hopeful that it'll release soon.

[chilly nexus]

the PERFECT attitude

[opaque sigil]

Wait TGA is a stop codon

[stark estuary]

i'myay ettypray uresay ityay isyay

[untold inlet]

i'm placing my entire happiness in the outcome of tga with the full knowledge that there's a good chance of december 9th causing a horrible collapse

[opaque sigil]

Ok yeah then TGA is stop which is incredibly appropriate

Because people should stop talking about it

[untold inlet]

it's the stop codon for our 3 yrs of waiting

[brittle garnet]

it will put a stop to the wait

[opaque sigil]

It's been a few years since I took that class ok

[stark estuary]

Damn now we're getting philosophical

wait since when was a thing

[untold inlet]

should i make a timeanddate countdown to tga

[chilly nexus]

when I see this my one thought is literally: "wow, i didn't realize how little I care for bethesda now. I wonder if that's the general sentiment"

[opaque sigil]

A long time

[warm bone]

ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING ELDEN RING

[stark estuary]

Huh. never noticed it.

[opaque sigil]

botw 2 is the only game of those I care about

[chilly nexus]

i played elden ring

[warm bone]

2 YEAR IN A ROW 🥳

[opaque sigil]

Where FE 17

[stark estuary]

Elden Ring and BoTW 2 for me

[chilly nexus]

I'm excited for ER and BotW2, and can see the excitement of GoW and HFW, but i feel like no one cares that much for bethesda thingy's nowadays

[stark estuary]

In your dreams

[opaque sigil]

I wish

[proud vale]

So keen for elden ring

[warm bone]

I don't know anyone who cares about fire emblem besides you, tammo (no offence)

[brittle garnet]

funnily enough that game's trailer has the most views out of all of these

[opaque sigil]

A decent few in the server have played it

[chilly nexus]

XD

[stark estuary]

I do

[brittle garnet]

yeah they go Starfield: 15M, Horizon: 12M, GoW: 9M, BotW2: 8M and Elden Ring with 7M

fractions excluded

[proud vale]

Hmm is Starfield just no-mans-sky?

[stark estuary]

Bethesda more like cringe

[chilly nexus]

how many more skyrim games do you guys think we'll get before TES6

personally I think we'll get a 15th anniversary edition first

[stark estuary]

Skyrim bad. TES bad. Fight me.

[chilly nexus]

and maybe a super deluxe VR of the 10th anniversary edition between now and then

+a dlc where a 2nd player can control player 1's follower (if they have one)

[warm bone]

I wonder if elden ring is going to win again

most anticipated game, that is.

[proud vale]

Starfield doesn't really look like it has interesting lore

[chilly nexus]

i feel like it'll be elden ring, god of war, or botw2

the people who anticipate the other games most i don't think care enough to vote

[warm bone]

and elden ring is the only non-exclusive of those so

most audience

[proud vale]

Will starfield be on pc with the xbox pc game pass thing?

[warm bone]

I think its coming to pc

[waxen agate]

Why wasn’t silk song on that list ! Blasphemous

[opaque sigil]

Too small

[untold inlet]

does anyone know what time of day tga is at

[opaque sigil]

Their website probably says

[untold inlet]

you'd think it would but for some reason they haven't said a time

[opaque sigil]

[untold inlet]

nvm they have an "add calendar event" button which says LOL

kinda weird that it's hidden away in there, but it's 6 PM CST

https://itsalmo.st/the-game-awards ok here's a countdown for all your down-to-the-millisecond hype needs

why not

watch every second tick by, each more agonizing than the last

[north salmon]

yes

[noble fulcrum]

havent been in this chat for months whats poppin

im assuming we are now thinking about that 2023 release date

[stark estuary]

?sspsa

[vague heath]

TGA is 6pm December 9th?

[thin zephyr]

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

[magic otter]

not silk song lol

[chilly nexus]

If SS isn't at TGA or 2022 E3/SGF, then yes

[opaque sigil]

I don't fully buy the "TC will definitely announce the date at an event" argument but sure

[lyric drift]

Maybe they decide to announce release date on the last day of the year like they did with that article

[trim estuary]

All we’re thinking about is TGA release date

[trim estuary]

It would get way more peoples attention

[winter cypress]

2022 for SURE this time

[vague heath]

after looking at The Game Awards top 5 most anticipated games and not knowing what starfield was, i searched up what was more widely searched bewtween starfield and silksong and saw this

[opaque sigil]

I understand the merits

[bronze monolith]

Eventually you'll be right!

[trim estuary]

What’s a starfield

[chilly nexus]

SS>starfield confirmed. starfield is a fad

[vague heath]

worldwide

[vague heath]

idk all i know its a game made by bethesda

[opaque sigil]

Those graphs are nonsense, they start before the games were even announced

[radiant locust]

[trim estuary]

So probably bad?

[vague heath]

this is over the past year

[chilly nexus]

lmao even with no news, SS averages higher :p

[trim estuary]

As you can see, silksong is much more anticipated while Starfield occasionally will get people to be interested in it over a short period of time.

[chilly nexus]

fr, send the graphs to geoff and let him know that noms for most anticipated were rigged

[lyric drift]

Maybe Silksong will be lost to time before it gets released 🥲

[opaque sigil]

The nominations are always catered to AAAs

[chilly nexus]

tbh, I'm 90% sure if SS was on there, the fanbase would vote enough for it to be a serious contendor

[shut arrow]

To be fair, Psychonauts 2 got in the GOTY nominations this year

[chilly nexus]

I like ER and botw 2 but i don't care enough for them to vote for them. SS I'd vote for though cuz ❤️ TC

[shut arrow]

And that's not exactly AAA

[coarse leaf]

starfield has even less news i think

[trim estuary]

I don’t think it’ll be lost in under a month

[shut arrow]

I've never heard of Starfield

[chilly nexus]

I mean with the past eyar graph^ starfield got a new trailer

it was featured at E3/SGF this year

[lyric drift]

Am I the only one here who has never watched E3? Like I read articles and stuff but I don't watch it or attend

[shut arrow]

I watched E3 a few times

[chilly nexus]

i only watch nintendo's

[lyric drift]

I watch the Nintendo Indie streams they do

[trim estuary]

So… starfield was featured at E3/SGF, and if it’s not featured at TGA that means Silksong?

[coarse leaf]

ik, that was the only trailer wasn't it?

[shut arrow]

Mainly Nintendo's but I checked ubisoft and xbox this year I think, for psychonauts 2 and the new Mario rabbids game that got leaked

[lyric drift]

What is TGA?

[vague heath]

The Game Awards

[chilly nexus]

new mario rabbids I'm sooo excited for. changing up the Xcomm formula with radial movement ugh i can't wait to see how it plays

[winter cypress]

silksong at TGA would be so fucking hype

[chilly nexus]

twill be there, we are manifesting

if it's not there I'll join the "WE NEED AN EXPLANATION TEAM CHERRY" boat (jk)

[coarse leaf]

it may also be because starfield has a release date aswell, that they were a nominee

[vague heath]

And then theres Hollow Knight

[lyric drift]

On one hand, it's a team of 4-5. On the other hand, It's highly anticipated by fans and we are Hungry for it 😂

[opaque sigil]

3

[lyric drift]

Plus music

And Everytime TC Adds a new area or boss the composer needs to make a new song, so I'm sure there is a delay there too

[opaque sigil]

That work isn't quite the same as that the members of TC do

[silver sparrow]

The only country that knows about this Starfield thing is Russia

Oh my god my custom name is still outdated, well that sucks

[silver oak]

That is not an ori pfp

I was gonna say

[silver sparrow]

That been there for 5+ months

[radiant wraith]

Silksong release date reveal at the Super Bowl

[cerulean sable]

INB4

credit music is Hornet singing and has lyrics but its claused as "If Hornet can talk in english, or we can understand bug language, it would sound like this" or something

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8Xx-kL0rcw example

but for real if they do a "hornet singing" credits id be down with her humming the tune OR her going WOAHHH WAHAHHHHHH in the vocals in the background

[opaque sigil]

ok but like why do hornet singing in the credits

[radiant wraith]

Singsong

[cerulean sable]

cuzi ts SilkSONG duhhhh /s

[radiant wraith]

Hornet should sing during boss battles too

[opaque sigil]

Welp that message cost me three brain cells

[opaque sigil]

If you count her combat noises as singing, she does

i honestly think run/sprint > heal carries A LITTLE BIT of momentum even if its just animation wise

it looks really good when you do it midair

[opaque sigil]

I could see it carrying effectual momentum

[radiant wraith]

I wonder if it's interrupted by landing

[opaque sigil]

It stalls her vertically

[radiant wraith]

oh

[vagrant umbra]

Which do you all think will happen first? Silksong getting released or Crowsworn announcing it’s release date (even if it’s changed later)?

[opaque sigil]

I mean if you count the 2023 thing then MR already has

[cunning geode]

You should count your days instead 👹

[vagrant umbra]

Nah, I mean news in the future, with a day specified.

Alright, new conversation: do you all think the Hornet DLC backers will get to have a room of secret messages like in Hollow Knight?

[opaque sigil]

That goal probably only applied to HK

And anybody who met it was probably included in the shrine

[chilly nexus]

tbh i'm not sure how much backer content there'll be in SS

[sacred trout]

there would be too many plaques if that happened again. but can't rule anything out

[chilly nexus]

I feel like TC is just kinda making it

[vagrant umbra]

I suppose. Still, I wonder if there’s anything special for the general donations given during the Hornet DLC stretch go.

[serene chasm]

Few bosses, a town IIRC

Carmelita and Sharpe are backer bosses. And there is one more unknown one

[chilly nexus]

I literally want SS more than elden ring

[serene chasm]

That's why you are here and not in the ER server

[vagrant umbra]

Although it wasn’t backed, Seth is also a community member creation.

[opaque sigil]

Not really a comparable situation

[chilly nexus]

I'm in both

[serene chasm]

Traitor

[chilly nexus]

hey i beta tested for em

I wonder how TC finds playtesters

[opaque sigil]

Knowing them

[chilly nexus]

are they australian fans? australian non-fans? australian friends? australian strangers? australian?

[vagrant umbra]

Reminds me of a fake green text trilogy I made. Let me see if I can dig it up from my history.

[languid linden]

Yes, we appreciated the feedback! Can you imagine what the fans would think if those bugs made it to the release version

[chilly nexus]

they'd be devastated if they fell through that hole in the earth and lost their souls without being able to retrieve them

they'd be similarly devastated if the dragon killed itself because it forgot to fly mid-animation and succumbed to gravity and fall damage

[vagrant umbra]

Part 1:

be me
wanna play Silksong and meet Team Cherry so bad
move to Australia
can't afford any housing
living on the streets begging for jobs
become a truck driver
spiders eat all my tires
carry all my luggage box by box on foot in the outback
see a man on the street holding a laptop
hallucination?
walk up to man
ask who he is
tells me he's a playtester and needs some help on this level
I offer to help, he hands me the laptop
mfw Silksong is on the screen
choose the save file and enter
its just Hornet in an empty room
screen just says "press enter to win"
credits roll
"Developed by Team Berry"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[chilly nexus]

that was an emotional rollercoaster

[opaque sigil]

That some dream shit right there

[proud vale]

Damn I feel as though I was there

[opaque sigil]

Spiders ate your tires?

[vagrant umbra]

Who’s ready for part 2?

be me
finally finish delivery job in the outback
begin my search for Team Cherry
Adelaide isn't that big, right?
two weeks later, multi-level building, several gaming developers including "Team Cherry HQ"
mfw
immediatly rush in
"Can I get a name, sir?"
"I'm Anon, I'm here for an interview with the game devs here"
mfw she bought it
takes me to an empty unlit room
closes the doors
lockclick.mp3
"I'm so glad you could make it, but you don't look like Anon"
tell them I'm covering for the real interviewer
"that's alright, how about we start with a quick demo"
mfw
projector turns on
"I hope you don't mind, but we decided to include the credits first for the demo"
I say its alright, sure beats nothing
"Developed by Team Berry"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Finally, part 3:

be me:
running out of the building full speed out of pure spite
make a break for the nearest airport
spend the rest of my truck driving money on a ticket back home
board flight
sitting down
tell myself it’s ok, no more worrying about Silksong
over hear conversation from ahead
”man those devs are geniuses”
”what do you mean?”
”well, they know how hyped up their sequel is going to be, so they changed their name in all their content to their April Fools team name: Team Berry”
”you mean if I ran into anything related to Team Berry it was actually Team Cherry?”
”it sure was. In fact, when I was play-testing, I let this stranger try out a save file that made it all the way to the end, I was going to let him get back in from the credits, but he screamed and left after seeing Team Berry in the credits, poor guy”
cry myself to sleep on the way back home

[chilly nexus]

their next name will be Team Dairy 🥛

[proud vale]

A real twist at the end there

[vague heath]

LOL, minecraft's top searches are literally

[proud vale]

What does that mean, is that just the snapshot

[vague heath]

pretty sure apk means to pirate it

[vagrant umbra]

Oh man… I haven’t heard the term APK in forever. Man that brings me back. Basically it’s a download that makes an android app work on a kindle tablet. That’s what I had to do to play Clash of Clans back in 8th grade. Good times.

[vague heath]

yeah apk means they're trying to download it for free

[proud vale]

Oh lol, good for them

[shy stirrup]

Ayo indians hyped for ss lets gooo

[proud vale]

Where my antarctic silksong fans at

[vagrant umbra]

I feel slightly relieved yet confused that Australia is the closest to North America in popularity.

[vagrant umbra]

Not a single search in Greenland.

[opaque sigil]

I mean it is an Australian game

[chilly nexus]

I wonder if TC get recognized on the street

and bought croissants by strangers

[opaque sigil]

Eh, their faces aren't super well known afaik, not so much as their work is

[vagrant umbra]

That’s the relief part. I’m just wondering, does Team Cherry have a special opinion from Australia for being local?

[opaque sigil]

I wouldn't be surprised in the least were that so

[vagrant umbra]

The something something stage is denial.

Who wants to read a corny joke real quick?

[opaque sigil]

[vagrant umbra]

How did Bob get the lead role in the caveman movie?

His resume says he’s Bob Eric.

[sacred trout]

I know the release date hasn't been given but when is the release date

[opaque sigil]

[vagrant umbra]

Say the answer real fast.

[opaque sigil]

The answer to what

[fleet temple]

June 2020

[opaque sigil]

I get the joke

Bob Eric approximates to barbaric

[vagrant umbra]

Oh, I thought intense Corn was confusion.

[opaque sigil]

No it's just corny

[vagrant umbra]

Ouch, I just got.

So I know about each ending being canon, but does the metal dude in the Silksong trailer make Steel Soul canon?

[opaque sigil]

Both modes are canon

[vague heath]

possibly, also hollow knight keeps getting more popular every year while silksong is kinda just waiting to be released, its search results probably will spike up though once it does get released

[opaque sigil]

Probably

[vagrant umbra]

I just hope the planned release date is announced rather than shadow dropped so I can get in one more %112 run and maybe even beat pantheon of Hallownest before Silksong.

[vague heath]

yeah

[opaque sigil]

Shadow dropping is unlikely barring extremely ideal conditions

[vagrant umbra]

I mean if we go by platforms. It’s a 1/4th chance with our super small sample size.

[opaque sigil]

Not sure where that figure comes from

[vagrant umbra]

Every platform release got a specific date except the Switch which was shadow dropped at e3 2018.

[opaque sigil]

I'm not really leaning on precedent here

Leth has suggested that under the right circumstances a shadow drop would be on the table

[vagrant umbra]

And I wouldn’t either, but I’m running on fumes when it comes to discussing a game that hasn’t released yet.

[opaque sigil]

Actually he hasn't suggested it, he's stated it

[vagrant umbra]

I know they are at a point, or the zone, in which they want to spend more time on a scope creep than taking time off to make announcements. But they have been doing that for a year now. I just hope they are ok, and I want to know when they finished adding and start tuning.

[opaque sigil]

There isn't necessarily a clean divide there, nor is it really important for them to disclose that

[still owl]

leth likes to keep his options open :))

[opaque sigil]

That's only prudent

[chilly nexus]

tbh i can see a shadow drop happening at TGA

[still owl]

whens TGA again

[chilly nexus]

i think a decent junk of TC's fanbase are in school, so a shadow drop at the start of their winter break would be big

[opaque sigil]

I can't. Too close to their vacation

[fleet temple]

9th I think

[vagrant umbra]

It’s how Hollow Knignt got wrapped up. It’s a system of game design they talked about in interviews and such. They split their work into sections that they add one at a time, such as the hive, and when they feel satisfied (or in Hollow Knight’s case, run out of time) they quickly hotfix, tune, and release.

[still owl]

ah thats good in case of the non existent shadow drop.
need SS to avoid my courses all together

[opaque sigil]

You can't drop a game then go awol for a couple weeks, that's just a bad idea

[vagrant umbra]

During a QnA with Leth in the summer, he said they are still in that add, add, add state.

[still owl]

ay almost half a year tho, not bad timing.

[vagrant umbra]

But then again… summer keeps getting farther and farther away.

[still owl]

keep those fingers crossed.

[vagrant umbra]

Yeah

[chilly nexus]

literally what are TC doing with SS. 2019: "we're already slipping into extra content!" 2021: "Add Add Add"

[opaque sigil]

Making a game

[chilly nexus]

the game's probably changed a ton

[chilly nexus]

you use rhetoric quite a decent bit

[vagrant umbra]

I love it and hate it at the same time. But future me will love it and love it, so I will hold out.

[opaque sigil]

How was that rhetoric

[shell yacht]

bro look at all these profesional game designers commenting on the public status of Silksongs development @opaque sigil

[chilly nexus]

[proud vale]

I am TC’s personal croissant mule so my word can be trusted

[opaque sigil]

I can think of no reason to object

[gilded adder]

I am TC

[opaque sigil]

Henceforth the word of Orange shall be absolute

[gilded adder]

[fleet temple]

I am Australia

[shell yacht]

wrong orange

[gilded adder]

I am the world

[fiery coral]

I am the storm that is approaching

[proud vale]

No they got it right

[gilded adder]

Devil May Cry

[fleet temple]

I am an egg

[chilly nexus]

I am

[gilded adder]

(I have never played a DMC game.)

[shell yacht]

@fleet temple whats Rota

[gilded adder]

reinforcement of the army

[opaque sigil]

A wheel

[trim estuary]

Rota Deez Nuts

[chilly nexus]

rota tiller tiller tiller

[fleet temple]

It's a mod for subnautica

[trim estuary]

NOT THE SCISSORS

[gilded adder]

What does it add?

[trim estuary]

Those exist?

[fiery coral]

Neither have I

[fleet temple]

The main thing it's adding is the massive leviathan you can find in the lost river

[fiery coral]

Music is awesome though

[gilded adder]

Vergil's theme bangs though.

[opaque sigil]

But doesn't Lost River already have ghost leviathans

[fleet temple]

The skeleton I mean

[opaque sigil]

Oh

[nimble steppe]

Gargantuan

[fleet temple]

Yes

[nimble steppe]

Playing subnautica now myself

[fleet temple]

The mod isn't out yet tho

[gilded adder]

I played like 24 hours of Subnatuca but never continued and lost my save file

[fleet temple]

Rip

[gilded adder]

Was fun though. I liked it.

[opaque sigil]

I love subnautica but the resource management can be kinda awful

[fleet temple]

The developers of the mod actually got In contact with unknown worlds to help fix a bug with it

[proud vale]

That’s you should play outer wilds, it’s like subnautica but without the inventory

[gray lance]

Tools

[glacial niche]

Playing Outer Wilds is a wise decision

[gray lance]

Outer Wilds is a solid uhhhh Pretty Fantastic/10

It's just like Hollow Knight
Just without the bugs, the combat, the story, the lore, the characters, the charms, the Hornet is Void, or the aesthetic
Besides that though, carbon copy

[glacial niche]

It's a metroidvania but instead of gaining upgrades you gain knowledge, a metroidbrainia, if you will

[gray lance]

Upgrade the number of wrinkles on your brain

[warm bone]

true

[tawdry valley]

I play videogames for the plot fun the challenge to spend time with friends I have nothing better to do they’re cool/relaxing frontal lobe development

[gray lance]

You could not fathom the size of my cortex

[naive flax]

What is your first thought after Silksong's release date is inevitably announced at the Game Awards

[chilly nexus]

no mind to think, no will to break, just eyes to cry from

[untold inlet]

i've been ranting about silksong for the past... forever in my friends gc so after watching this server absolutely buckle under the happy nuke i'll probably freak out in there

at which point my friends will probably express some happiness for me (partly genuine, partly out of relief that they don't have to hear about it anymore)

and then for the next couple weeks until release i'll feel like a kid before christmas

if the game releases while i'm on winter break then the moment after finals i'm going home, wrapping myself in bubble wrap, and not leaving my room until release. i can't afford to die of some accident before then

[chilly nexus]

tbh the festivity in this server if TC drops a release date in december/at TGA would be sooo spirited I hope it happens

[untold inlet]

agreed! that interval between the announcement and the release is gonna be so torturous but so fun

and i've witnessed so many direct/deconfirmation-related nukes that it would be fun to watch a celebratory one

this is stupid but i feel like i genuinely might cry if they announce a release date

[radiant wraith]

If the prophet spoke true...

[cerulean sable]

yes i do love playing digital entertainment, my varieties that allows me to produce dopamine are of the Seek Mobilities Access New Sectors entertainments, whereas 3d Perception Firearm Simulator's are just pure melatonin manufacturers 😴

[chilly nexus]

it's not stupid at all, i teared up a bit when the monkey ball remake was announced tbh :p waited the full 20 years for that one

[cerulean sable]

no judgements dude, i literally watched the SS reveal trailer for 4 hours straight until midnight when i got home back in Feb 2019

[radiant wraith]

Yes, watching that trailer for the first time was unreal

[untold inlet]

i was pretty much there too lol

[cerulean sable]

my first reaction that i kept internally screaming in college was "HORNET HAS A GRENADE HORNET HAS A GRENADE"

[radiant wraith]

That image they posted on Twitter a few days before that already felt unreal lol

[untold inlet]

i remember february 14th 2019 so vividly... i remember being hyped for the 4 days before for news on the hornet dlc and then i woke up to the text from my friend... "so this hornet DLC is just a whole ass new game?"

and the moment i saw that text i RACED to the tc website with lightning speed

and yeah i was poring over every frame of that trailer in the days after, as well as the summary of tc's explanation video... and all the speculation threads as to when the game would be out

almost all the estimates were far too optimistic 🥲

[cerulean sable]

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DLC"

The second game by Team Cherry
"ITS NOT A A DLCAJsIOFAJS:FOSEHNOHSEORJW;ekth;keh"

[sterile sleet]

Take your face off the keyboard

[cerulean sable]

stfu league of legends fan

[vivid belfry]

Lizard I meant to ask you something

[sterile sleet]

What

[vivid belfry]

What's your opinion on your pfp's hat being tall as fuck in the anime adaptation

[sterile sleet]

It’s funny

[vivid belfry]

Oingo lookin ass

[radiant wraith]

I'll be sure to prepare Book of Waiting passages for both possible outcomes before TGA

I pray for the triumph of faith on the Day of The Prophecy

[vivid belfry]

I'm not gonna have any more problems with waiting for silksong I don't thinj

People aren't gonna let me die until I play the dark souls series and Amazon ring

So that'll keep me busy for a while

[radiant wraith]

There's always space on my plate for Silksong

There's a lot to do in the meantime tho, I'm certainly not bored

[vivid belfry]

Yes of course I will drop everything for silksong, but there are other things

[torn terrace]

I need hornet for love ._.

uh, anyways

[chilly nexus]

If you can only play one dark souls game, let it be DS1 or DS3. If you can only play one fromsoft game, let it be BB

DLC is ofc a must

[radiant wraith]

Play Ds2 too

If you can I mean. I thought it was good whatever many say about it

[chilly nexus]

I'm not saying it was bad, just that it wasn't a Miyazaki game

the quintessential miyazaki game, imo, is bloodborne

[radiant wraith]

It was easy, but I play souls games for exploration

[chilly nexus]

oo you'll love elden ring then

[radiant wraith]

I hope I will

I'm not as impatient to play it as SS tho

[chilly nexus]

(if you love exploration, the demo did indeed satisfy)

[radiant wraith]

Yeah, I watched some gameplay and it looked promising

[torpid nymph]

Been a while since I’ve checked on y’all
How we doin silksongbros

[chilly nexus]

hoping for a server wide party on Dec 9th

[potent plover]

ok

[torpid nymph]

I mean TGA is coming up
And Geoff says it’s gonna be heavy with new announcements

[analog lily]

what happens on dec 9th again?

[keen kiln]

Christmas

[radiant wraith]

TGA, the Day of The Prophecy

[keen kiln]

Dammit

[radiant wraith]

Christmas is postponed due to SS release

[sacred trout]

lol

[analog lily]

christmas is on the 25th though right?
unless i'm going insane

[keen kiln]

No, it's on the ninth

At least where I'm from

[analog lily]

and that is?

[keen kiln]

Canada

[analog lily]

maybe you live in some other sort of canada

[keen kiln]

What

Well we definitely always celebrated it on the ninth

So not sure wtf google is on about

[analog lily]

well google in an un-reliable source many times
So i'm gonna have to take what it says with a grain of salt

but christmas on the 9th also seems a bit strange

[keen kiln]

Maybe it depends where in canada?

It's a big place. Lots of liars around here too

[analog lily]

hmm, i might just check on bing or something

[keen kiln]

Like me. I'm a liar. But you knew that.

[analog lily]

bing also disagrees,
so i think your right when you say your a lier

[tawdry palm]

Silk song is the juggernaught

[languid turret]

december 31 is gonna mark the 1 year anniversary of any silksong news if there isn't anything by then

[lean rampart]

wait but what is silksong

[sweet anvil]

it's an idea, a concept

silksong is a feeling

[narrow lava]

silksong truly is the concept of darksouls

[sweet anvil]

the darksouls of feelings

[torpid nymph]

A little hint that maybe Silksong is coming sooner than we thought is that it isn’t nominated for “most anticipated title” but maybe it just didn’t get nominated

[mystic pewter]

he says that every year

[torpid nymph]

Nah but this year he said there’d be like 50 announcements or something

[mystic pewter]

hollow knight does not have nearly as large a fanbase as games like final fantasy, god of war, horizon or elden ring

[torpid nymph]

True

So that’s that I guess
A small part of me has hope for TGA tho

[mystic pewter]

don't get hopes up

it's not gonna be there

I remember the days when I was optimistic enough to disagree with the realists

[cerulean sable]

i am the opposite

i have become pessimistic long enough

and now ill throw myself into the fire

TGA, here I come

[reef scarab]

It has to come out at some point, you’ll be wrong saying that every time eventually

Besides, there’s some reason to think it might be there

[untold inlet]

Those who have watched TGA before, do they get the announcements all out of the way and then do the awards or could Silksong be kept until the end or something

I stopped watching last year's after a while

[torpid nymph]

They do announcements and awards intertwined with each other

Think of the announcements as commercial breaks but good

[untold inlet]

So I gotta watch the whole show potentially for no reward

[mystic pewter]

what reason?

[torpid nymph]

Yes

[chilly nexus]

the reason is if you think SS will be coming out before late-summer 2022 👍 (operating under the assumption TC will give the release announce at a big event, which has been justified as reasonable in the past)

If you think SS is out before late-summer 2022, there's just TGA

[mystic pewter]

thats not much reason other than "if you think it will release in this timeframe than this would be an ideal time for TC"

plus, nintendo directs are announced not far ahead of time, and there will almost certainly be one in Q1 2022 for one reason or another, and it would have just as much likelihood to appear there as it does at TGA

[sacred stratus]

Who said they need a big event for that?

[wary marlin]

Silksong

[uncut citrus]

Silksong *

[hollow smelt]

Since we havent made bets for the big event yet, ill sell my kidney if ss at tga

[frank sparrow]

has been dead / final assessments at uni
WHAT BIG EVENT

[gilded adder]

The Game Awards

[frank sparrow]

oh yeahhhhh- i forgot that existed- THANK YOU

[gilded adder]

Don't get your hopes too high. Silksong hasn't been confirmed or anything.

[tropic bronze]

I’ll sell this guy’s other kidney if ss at tga

[frank sparrow]

i expected it some time early 2022- like February or March or April- HOPE DOESN'T EXIST

[sacred stratus]

Yeah TGA is kind of a forgotten event bcs it’s not like our votes matter or something

At the end of the day it’s a bunch of “intellectuals” that decide who wins what

[tawdry palm]

ironic

[uncut citrus]

hoping for Ss at TGA cult, not Clut of TGA

[tawdry palm]

oh my fucking god i was active back in the day

[uncut citrus]

ohh your that guy

(i probably wasnt here when you were active but funni eh?)

[heady jolt]

hasnt been deconfirmed either

either we're finally getting news or it'll be another fest

[tawdry valley]

Wait TGA hype is game awards hype?

[heady jolt]

ye

[tawdry valley]

The fuck you think is gonna happen at an award show

[heady jolt]

they have news there also

[tawdry valley]

That’s like waiting for a movie announcement at the oscars. Does TGA do news?

[heady jolt]

its not just plain game awards

[upper sigil]

another posibility of not getting news soon ?

[sacred stratus]

I believe we will be getting something at TGA but it is kinda forgotten compared to E3 for instance

Not irony just balance between 2 opinions I hold

[normal token]

Last year at TGA the airship map in among us was shown

And a bunch of other shit

[tawdry palm]

well its good to know i havent missed anything

[normal token]

Oh ye TGA asked TC if they wanna show silksong like twice

[bright solstice]

No way

Silksong is out?🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

[frank sparrow]

yeah we got a date its coming out ||24/12/NEVAH|| where have you been?

[hollow smelt]

WAIT NO I MEANT IF IT ISNT AT TGA

I KNOW IT WILL BE NOOO MY KIDNEY

[lapis pivot]

on the bright side, you can try to get a mechanical replacement and become the world's most boring cyborg!

there has to be some kind of award for that!

[dusty nimbus]

That's a pretty cool date

[dusty nimbus]

This is where I come in

Hello would you like a totally legal kidney?

[lapis pivot]

Robot kidneys. you know you want them

[frank sparrow]

yeah it is

[lapis pivot]

the correct date is, in fact, ||01/04/YOLO||

much more realistic outcome

[runic fern]

[normal token]

Yes!

[finite wigeon]

when do you guys think silksong will release

[normal token]

When it is done

[finite wigeon]

indeed

[winter cypress]

i mean this regular enemy seems to be attacking another enemy so i guess its possible

[fleet temple]

or they just have very bad aim

[cerulean sable]

that guy isnt an enemy though

you can see them during the trailer

[opaque sigil]

Spearbug is fren

[cerulean sable]

in the town section

would love to see active NPCs doing their own thing

like in this case, this guy would be patrolling near the exit of their town and attacking automatically

[opaque sigil]

Which would make the world feel more believable

[cerulean sable]

ye

[winter cypress]

oh thats interesting

is it from a quest then?

idk why hornet would be throwing it at them

[balmy pasture]

probably because they just randomly did that for the screenshot

[cerulean sable]

yeah and its a good showcase of hornet adapting her tools to her own version vs to the ones she finds around the world

[balmy pasture]

yeah probably that

[cerulean sable]

iirc magazine said she takes the tools used by the denizens of Pharloom and gives a unique flare to her version, in this case the javelin you see in the magazine ha a longer point and has red ribbon to it, while the spear bugs javelin has a longer wooden handle

[balmy pasture]

yep

no, that is indeed not scissors

deez are scissors

[upper sigil]

extremely lethal weapon

used in ww2

[balmy pasture]

haha😐

[opaque sigil]

Zoom in

[lament lotus]

yeah thats how it works

[balmy pasture]

you can literally see its made out of a different material

[opaque sigil]

The edge screenshots are high enough resolution to get a good look at them

[balmy pasture]

like the handle is not wooden

[opaque sigil]

Hornet's definitely isn't, spearbug's could also just be a different colored metal

[balmy pasture]

the point is its definitely different

[opaque sigil]

Yeah

[copper knot]

lmao even artifically enhancing the image doesnt work

[bleak scarab]

when you enhance in paint:

[copper knot]

the image was so small

[opaque sigil]

Then use the real image

[bleak scarab]

hm yes

Wonder if you could switch out your needle for another weapon or upgrade it

[sacred stratus]

hi I'm back

[bleak scarab]

hello

[opaque sigil]

I don't think swapping out the needle would work well

[bleak scarab]

yea, its like iconic to hornet

[sacred stratus]

that's probably a javelin gadget

[opaque sigil]

Yeah this is definitely a tool

Has a wheel and everything

[sacred stratus]

I think it's a great idea, it will be like the throwing knife but dealing more damage and consuming less of the bar

[upper sigil]

is that a drill next to it

[opaque sigil]

It seems like it arcs, too

[bleak scarab]

drill song

[opaque sigil]

But if it does more damage it probably should consume more of the bar, not less

[bleak scarab]

also no its obviously a bee hornet kidnapped from the hive

[upper sigil]

true

[cerulean sable]

Silksong is taking too long because Jack has decided that he has to render each weapon with their jiggle physics hanging on hornets back whenever she equips them while walking

[lament lotus]

attention to detail

[low nebula]

jiggle jiggle the hornet

[digital junco]

thats it cancel the game

[low nebula]

no

i want to jiggle jiggle the bug. you cannot stop me

[dusty nimbus]

That's sick

[hushed wasp]

guys what if
what if joe was in the game

[sinful flare]

omgg what if hornet was in the game

[upper sigil]

what if me when beans wasnt in #hk-meme

[fallow apex]

What if me when beans died

[opaque sigil]

What if sanity was in #sk-discussion

[uncut citrus]

Evil #sk-discussion be like:

[hushed wasp]

What if i was happy in life

[fallow apex]

Than youd be happy

[radiant wraith]

What if Hornet was in the original Hollow Knight?

[fallow apex]

Illegal

[radiant wraith]

What would she do?

[hushed wasp]

imagine

[upper sigil]

die in a specific ending

[fallow apex]

Die probably

[hushed wasp]

She'd have really good boss music tho

[uncut citrus]

@hushed wasp why...

The emotes, why?

[radiant wraith]

Hornet dies

[hushed wasp]

[uncut citrus]

This emote should get more love it perfectly represent my relation rn

[radiant wraith]

I hope they add her in Fortnite

[livid rock]

NO

[radiant wraith]

Why not?

I want her to do the Fortnite dance

[pale lion]

it would be funny

[hushed wasp]

yes

[uncut citrus]

I am curious about that but at the same time I really really don’t want to see it

[clever bear]

in the demo

[radiant wraith]

Yeah you do

[clever bear]

hornet has a taunt thing

it would be cool you could use different taunts

not sure how that would work though

[uncut citrus]

I mean I would watch it, but then I’ll wash my eyes with bleach, seems way too cursed

[radiant wraith]

You mean the parry?

[uncut citrus]

Wait it’s a parry?

[opaque sigil]

In the demo pressing the right stick has her do her flourish from before her HK fights

[pale lion]

gosh i wish the demo was downloadable

[uncut citrus]

That’s what we call taunt, and I don’t think It parries

[opaque sigil]

It doesn't

[hushed wasp]

that would be cool yeah, it was already showed at that event so there would be no harm in giving it to us

[uncut citrus]

I hope there still a parry tool? You could only use it a couples of time like Baldur shell but it would be really cool

[opaque sigil]

Well there's the ability

[pale lion]

isnt parrying in hk where you swing your nail at the same time as the enemy

[hushed wasp]

party tool

🥳

[pale lion]

nvm i misread lol

[hushed wasp]

wdym btw, like baldurs shell invincibility while healing?

[uncut citrus]

Parry I meant

Party tool would be cool tho

[radiant wraith]

Isn't there one in the trailer, like the one she uses at Kingdom's Edge?

[uncut citrus]

No like it would break after a couples of parries

[hushed wasp]

[uncut citrus]

We see hornet parry at the end of the trailer

[clever bear]

that

[hushed wasp]

So essentially you just get 3 lifeblood

[uncut citrus]

She dashes thought after parry

[uncut citrus]

No you need to press something

[hushed wasp]

So essentially you get 3 lifeblood but you choose when to use it

[upper sigil]

i think its like u use silk to do a parry

pretty much a "spell"

[raven minnow]

yeah you do you can see the bar deplete in the trailer when she does it

[uncut citrus]

Oh ok that’s cool

[fast swan]

ayooo been a while since ive been here , any new info on silksong ?

[hushed wasp]

no

[fast swan]

bruh

[warm bone]

?sspsa

[thin zephyr]

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

[upper sigil]

welcome to ss

[coarse leaf]

we're hoping for news at tga

[fast swan]

kekw what did i expect

[hushed wasp]

the game awards doesnt even have silksong nominated for most anticipated game, bs

[radiant wraith]

Of course it doesn't

[hushed wasp]

why not it has like 12 billion wishlistd

[sinful flare]

isnt there like a top wishlisted games list on steam let me check there

[radiant wraith]

It doesn't really matter, you can't expect them to replace any of the nominated games with Silksong

[analog lily]

So everyone person in the world wishlisted ss and most did twice
Makes perfect sense

[sinful flare]

zamn silksong is 5th

true

[hushed wasp]

haha you explained the joke, look at you!
i bet you are great at parties

[radiant wraith]

Three of those games are AAA non pc games, one of the others has more wishlists on Steam than SS I think

[lament lotus]

[opaque sigil]

Fromsoft, bethesda, sony, nintendo. As successful as TC is, it can't really be expected to compete with these

[vagrant umbra]

That should be EVERYONE’S first hint about whether or not there will be news. TGA is mostly for AAA companies to pass out goodie bag news at a time other than E3. It’s no better that the film industry. Sure indie gets in there every so on, but I wouldn’t count on it being a norm. Rant over.

[opaque sigil]

TGA nominees have no real bearing on that

[coarse leaf]

i think it was also cos they all had 2022 release dates

[faint escarp]

Some updates about silksong?

[opaque sigil]

If TC wanted to do something for that event they could do it whether or not they were nominated for an award

[vagrant umbra]

No

[balmy pasture]

no

[opaque sigil]

That probably helps but I doubt it's an explicit requirement for consideration

[lament lotus]

2022 would make sense for a release or 2023

[radiant wraith]

Wasn't ER in last TGA?

[fiery coral]

Elden Ring got in there and won last year with like no info

[coarse leaf]

yh, but if they included it this year and not the previous year, prople might have assumed we'd get a 2022 release date

[opaque sigil]

That would be wrong to assume based on that

[vagrant umbra]

TGA 2020 was actually how I learned Elden Ring existed.

[fiery coral]

[opaque sigil]

Case in point: Elden Ring got most anticipated game in 2020 and that did not indicate a 2021 release

[vagrant umbra]

Elden Ring AAA game > gets nominated

Silksong indie game > not nominated

[radiant wraith]

The most anticipated award should go to the most anticipated games

[opaque sigil]

Don't really see what that has to do with my comment in the context of a response to BHKR

[nimble radish]

prople

[radiant wraith]

And Silksong is not among the most anticipated

[fiery coral]

Well From Software is certainly a bigger developer than Team Cherry

[coarse leaf]

I'm happy it's not among the most anticipated, guess we have a sane community?

[vagrant umbra]

I just think that merit or release date isn’t how these things are decided. Just like with film industry awards, it’s really for those that have the most connections, namely large AAA studios.

[opaque sigil]

We overestimate SS's degree of anticipation because we're anticipating SS. Realistically it does have a significant audience but it is nowhere near these developments

[opaque sigil]

This is correct but kind of besides the point I was making

[coarse leaf]

Sounds like one of the cons of TGA tbh. Bias on indie/AAA games

[opaque sigil]

Big names are the whole point of the event

TGA is biased towards AAAs because the industry is biased towards AAAs

[fiery coral]

Something like "Most Anticipated" is always going to be a popularity thing

Rather than merit

[vagrant umbra]

Soon the platform of AAA will crumble underneath their own insolence. And indie devs will rise into the merit and popularity they deserve!

[icy wyvern]

Didn’t indie games win the last two GA
Hades and disco elysium

[opaque sigil]

Also people don't watch TGA for obscure games. A bad game with a large audience is going to beat out a great game with a small one

[winter cypress]

silksong isnt exactly obscure

[radiant wraith]

It isn't Elden Ring either

[opaque sigil]

Compared to the nominated titles and developers it is

[coarse leaf]

If all companies end up like r*, probably
I feel like a few like CDPR still have a chance. CDPR failed at cp77 because they overestimated themselves. TW3 also had a shitton of bugs however the pros outweighed those

[fiery coral]

with respect to behemoths like Elden Ring and God of War it is

[winter cypress]

true true

[coarse leaf]

was that for best indie?

[icy wyvern]

No like
Actual game awards
Hades maybe but I know disco elysium was a final category winner

[opaque sigil]

Was that category "best indie game"

[vagrant umbra]

Personally, I would watch TGA for the context of NO Silksong. Just enjoy it for the big companies it was designed for. There will be no Silksong news. There is no reason for it.

[coarse leaf]

oh, yh they were nominated for goty

Holup they were? wtf

[icy wyvern]

Yeah it won in 4 categories
It was 2019
I’m pretty sure it won GOTY

[vagrant umbra]

Hades is definitely the exemption to the big company bias. I hope Silksong is next in that regard.

[opaque sigil]

Wasn't even nominated for goty

[vagrant umbra]

Not for news, but after it releases of course.

[icy wyvern]

Ah it was sekiro that won goty
But still, 4 categories were won

[opaque sigil]

It got best narrative, best indie, best rpg, "fresh" indie whatever that means

[coarse leaf]

hades in 2020 was

[opaque sigil]

So two non-indie exclusive categories

[opaque sigil]

Didn't win though

[vagrant umbra]

I guess the judges got to actually play it lol.

[warm bone]

Even if i had the option to pick silksong as most anticipated game, I would still pick elden ring

[upper sigil]

whats even elden ring

[warm bone]

Dark souls 4

[upper sigil]

oh that

[vagrant umbra]

They changed the name so people can compare it to Dark Souls.

[opaque sigil]

Speaking as somebody who gives zero fucks about Elden Ring, it absolutely deserves that spot over SS

SS just doesn't have the audience

[balmy pasture]

Well yes silksong is an indie game

[pallid flare]

it is

[opaque sigil]

As has been observed ad nauseam

[balmy pasture]

Silksong is probably the most anticipated indie game

[opaque sigil]

Well that ain't the category

[coarse leaf]

when will hk 3 come out

[lament lotus]

never

[coarse leaf]

[balmy pasture]

yeah but still

[radiant wraith]

It did already, it was called Lifeblood update

Yes

[opaque sigil]

Hungry Knight
Hungry Knight: Hollow Knight
Hungry Knight: Hollow Knight: Silksong
The full titles of the games

[shell yacht]

go back to bed

[opaque sigil]

It's 8am so no

[coarse leaf]

imagine if silksong will have a hollownest dlc

[opaque sigil]

This is peak Tammo hour

[radiant wraith]

Hornet in hallownest?!?

[opaque sigil]

Eh, that wouldn't really work, even barring the technical problems

[pallid flare]

they still will

[opaque sigil]

Yeah but it won't be fun

[pallid flare]

you can't stop them

it's gonna suck but they're still gonna do it

[opaque sigil]

It might be ok until like 20 minutes in when hornet doesn't fit through a passage

[pallid flare]

it's all unity isn't it

[opaque sigil]

Because all unity games are basically the same

[normal token]

Hello ss-discussion

[opaque sigil]

Silksong does have a different coder, who probably made significant changes to HK's allegedly sloppy mess of code
