[night hull]

Probably from demo

Yes

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, it uses screenshots from the demo footage

[coarse leaf]

wow that's cool
what a dedicated community

[opaque sigil]

There's also a deep docks one actively being made by Reevers

#sk-discussion message

[chilly nexus]

ngl deep docks felt a little simple in the demo. greenpath had the so many surprise enemies (which I get was the theme of the foliage, but deep docks felt a wee bit basic withonly 3 enemy types)

[opaque sigil]

Well those enemy types were relatively sophisticated

Actually greenpath had moss knights so nvm

Relative to most HK areas, but not greenpath

[winter cypress]

i mean it is a demo area

[chilly nexus]

ye i have no doubt it's grown more

3 enemies in one area, in a game with 167+ enemies, means sooooo many areas

[opaque sigil]

Well the DD demo sequence was also probably not the entirety of the area, ofc

[outer turtle]

is wall jump a tool in silksong ?

[opaque sigil]

That probably isn't wall jump

[serene chasm]

Nah. Those are a type of throwing blade

[outer turtle]

looks like mantis claw

[opaque sigil]

Wall jump as a red tool would make 0 sense

[serene chasm]

You see an ant throw them in the trailer

[outer turtle]

ahh i totally didn't think of that

[serene chasm]

Wall jumping as any tool wouldn't make sense.

[outer turtle]

why not

[opaque sigil]

Well it would be annoying to have to dedicate a slot to fundamental movement abilities

[gusty spoke]

Imagine using mantis claw as an amulet

[jovial sand]

When was this leaked? Am I lacking many brain right now or is it new

[chilly nexus]

Edge

[opaque sigil]

Not leaked

Definitely wasn't a leak

[balmy pasture]

pain

[normal token]

Uh oh fellas, seems like we got another silksong leak! Call in plumber ari and william to fix it!

[outer turtle]

?

[jade canopy]

See ? More evidence for a TGA release

[opaque sigil]

Well that may be a modifier, and I'm not convinced the grapple will represent a fundamental movement ability anyways, it doesn't do much a dash and pogo couldn't

[winter cypress]

maybe a boomerang

[opaque sigil]

But like yeah if you do have to equip grapple it would be annoying

[balmy pasture]

that looks like the tri-pin

[winter cypress]

holy shit i never saw that

[vestal wagon]

Well at least we have Shin Megami Tensei V and E L D E N R I N G to look forward to while we wait

[winter cypress]

thats the nail art equivalent

[chilly nexus]

and the new mario rabbids ❤️

[outer turtle]

tri pin is in this pic

[balmy pasture]

tbh I dont even care about elden ring, i just want silksong

[chilly nexus]

ah so you keep the old version of upgraded tools

[viral pivot]

Tbh, given how they did something big as edge at the end of the year, i wouldnt be surprised if they did turn up at the game awards in some form, especially given the quiet year. just not certain about release date, but then i never am anymore

[worthy lichen]

but it isn't silksong

[sinful flare]

[vestal wagon]

Man several games that people had waited mad long for, or thought just straight up wouldn't happen have come out duting the SS wait

[balmy pasture]

maybe they changed it? idk we wil see

[opaque sigil]

Release at TGA would be a bad move

[vestal wagon]

They dropped a new metroid

[opaque sigil]

It would be a mistake to release a game and then go on vacation right after

[viral pivot]

i mean theyre aiming for feb i think, but i dont expect them to actually release in feb

[pastel silo]

That may be the hornet's ability that she uses in HK where the needle quickly spins around her

[normal token]

Same

[vestal wagon]

Shit at this point we'll be getting a new star fox or F Zero whikd we're at it.

[balmy pasture]

yeah if they announce it at TGA it will probably be an early 2022 release

[opaque sigil]

Whenever they announce it it'll probably be for a point within a month or two, tops

[chilly nexus]

elden ring is like a more enemy-focused, less npc-focused skyrim

[vestal wagon]

It's dark souls skyrim without the S P I D E R S

[outer turtle]

it wouldn't be release just a release date

[normal token]

I feel like Leth would plan for the release date to be at some sort of big event like e3 or TGA

[chilly nexus]

literally traumatized me

[balmy pasture]

my PC cant even run elden ring probably so yeah

[opaque sigil]

If convenient, yeah. Obviously

[vestal wagon]

Still have not played that shit solely dye to those

[chilly nexus]

skyrim's spiders are the worst videog ame spiders

[vestal wagon]

I'm unsure how much my arachnophobia affects ne due to my minimal contact with real world spiders

[worthy lichen]

terraria spiders are the worst for me

[chilly nexus]

I would look up areas ahead of time to see if they'd be there, equip the master fire spell, and just cast it every few steps to kill them through walls

[vestal wagon]

I don't want to tempt fate

[opaque sigil]

Rain world spiders

[viral pivot]

oof i hated that biome

[normal token]

Honestly some enemies in HK used to scare me

[chilly nexus]

one are the wiki said had no spiders, but then they dropped from the ceiling on me

[vestal wagon]

The nightmare of mensis is gonna be... something

[viral pivot]

yeah especially in darkness

[stark estuary]

*Skyrim's are the worst videog ame

[opaque sigil]

Rain World enemies can be legitimately terrifying

[chilly nexus]

those spiders aren't that bad tbh. +you can run past them

[worthy lichen]

terraria spider biomes are the worst

[normal token]

I would take those lizard things at the beginning seriously but the way they fall is so funny

[vestal wagon]

I mean true, but I have a sutround sound headset. It's the paranoia that'll get me

[winter cypress]

1. get the opportunity to present at tga
2. silksong intro plays
3. no new info, "we are still making the game"
4. go on vacation while the fans seethe

[chilly nexus]

just close your eyes and run forward, i have faith in you

[stark estuary]

No

[opaque sigil]

We haven't seen too many skittery enemies in SS

[chilly nexus]

mute if u have to

[stark estuary]

wdym this is #off-topic

[vestal wagon]

Nah spooders only scare me if yhey have chelicerae

Plus I got used to it thanks to deepnest

Chelicerae and those damned eyes

[opaque sigil]

There are these things but they aren't really spider-y

[jovial sand]

Looks like freaky frogs

[chilly nexus]

the corpse crawlers were surprising the first time. otherwise it was just the audio and visual of deepnest that inspired formication

[stark estuary]

I don't know much about the lore so please forgive me if I'm mistaken but I think Hornet's pretty spider-y

[vestal wagon]

Yea deepnest for me was just anticipating a spider

[vestal wagon]

She is indeed. Pretty spidery

[opaque sigil]

Kirb

[chilly nexus]

hornet is a hornet wys

knight is a knight too

[winter cypress]

she DOES have a spider crawl i suppose...

[chilly nexus]

the most important one, get this: Cloth is a cloth

[jovial sand]

Hornet is void (such comedy and originality)

Death?

I can't wait for Hornet to web-swing and delivers pizza

[stark estuary]

Huh? I thought she was

[jovial sand]

Quirell is a quirell

[vestal wagon]

Wait does hornet only have 4 limbs. I know this sounds stupid but still

[opaque sigil]

Yeah

[chilly nexus]

she has 8 but just moves them in pairs adjacent to one another

[opaque sigil]

Even during the crawl animation she has only 4

[vestal wagon]

Ah it looked confusing to me

[normal token]

The Spider-Man 2 pizza theme should play when Hornet is giving some shit to someone along the way

[vestal wagon]

I wonder if she can stick to walls naturally

[stark estuary]

Spodermen

[chilly nexus]

if hornet gets a web swing/grappling hook swing that's be so fun

late game ofc, so as to not sequence break

Spider-Wyrm Spider-Wyrm,
Does whatever a Weaver can
Spins her silk, any size,
Gets released from her bindings by some seal-breaking flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spider-Wyrm.

Is she strong?
Listen bud,
She's got the Pale Being's holy blood.
Can she swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spider-Wyrm.

In the chill of night
At the Kingdom's Edge
Like a streak of Soul
She arrives just in time.

Spider-Wyrm, Spider-Wyrm
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Wyrm
Fame and Geo
She's ignored
SHAW is her reward.

To her, life is a great big bang up
Wherever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spider-Wyrm.

[sacred stratus]

tbh I almost forgot SS exists until someone shared an image from the magazine earlier today

wasn't it like a year since we got some SS news?

[trim estuary]

10 months

So… obviously that means silksong in December

[jovial sand]

The proof is astounding

[outer turtle]

the silence is deafening

[still elm]

323 days ago to be exact

[outer turtle]

how many days since reveal ?

[pallid flare]

like 1008

[jovial sand]

Too many, 2 would be enough pain

How does DC have an evil spider man

[stark estuary]

[outer turtle]

will silksong have DLCs

[jovial sand]

How would we know

[trim estuary]

Most likely not

[opaque sigil]

Hopefully not

[jovial sand]

Silk song might not even exist, it all was a fever dream

[opaque sigil]

Better to just release SS when it's completed than do the messy, disjointed staggered release HK had

[stark estuary]

I like dlc though

[normal token]

In TC's defence, they ran out of money

[opaque sigil]

Yeah they didn't have a choice for HK. For SS they do

[jovial sand]

They still might add some things tho

[outer turtle]

in the edge magazine they mentioned "many lands" wtf does that mean

[trim estuary]

Many LANs

[dusty nimbus]

I mean Hornet does walk a lot

[normal token]

Pharloom has some good ass internet connection

[dusty nimbus]

She's also known as the something with adventure or traveling in the hall of gods in godhome

So it makes sense she travels to places

[jovial sand]

I think you’re wrong, I believe silksong will be hornet standing still for 40 hours because she can’t move

[vestal wagon]

It will, but they'll end up adding too much stuff then announce they'll make a whole new game. Then say barely anything for a long ass time.

[trim estuary]

Every copy of HK is personalized

[dusty nimbus]

I thought when you struck the statue with dn it said that thing not on the podium

[dusty nimbus]

@pallid flare have I made you proud?

[sinful flare]

👀 💦_ _

[stark estuary]

Who would Nosk appear to Hornet as

[tall hinge]

herrah

[stark estuary]

Actually, a similar boss to Nosk could make for a very very cool HK reference

[tall hinge]

idk

[opaque sigil]

Herrah or maybe TK

[stark estuary]

I'd also say Herrah

But Herrah-Nosk sounds slightly terrifying

[winter cypress]

i feel like shed still have the knight lingering in her mind

[pallid flare]

what if prequel tho

[winter cypress]

then herrah

[coarse leaf]

what if alternative dimension

[bronze monolith]

Quirrel. She's fought him before.

[pallid flare]

[winter cypress]

BUT if they were to canonise the three queens thing then vespa would make a fun bossfight

[sinful flare]

what if silksong is an alternative universe (undertal???????) of hollow knight

[tall hinge]

[coarse leaf]

what if it takes place in both the past, present and future simultaneously

[dusty nimbus]

Can it hurt me like made in abyss did while I binged it today

[pallid flare]

that's not possible

[coarse leaf]

I can if you want

[bronze monolith]

Can't believe it's been nearly a year since the Edge hype already.

[winter cypress]

i remember it so well

[random granite]

So with the makers of dead cells teasing a hollow knight bench for the next playable character a couple hours ago saying they'd reveal it tomorrow, do you guys think we'll get an official tweet or blog post from TC?

[tawdry valley]

Hm?

[hollow sedge]

at most a retweet for dead cells

and then back to silence...

[tawdry valley]

All I know about DC relative to HK is that one Easter egg room

What’s this about a playable character…?

[tawdry valley]

Do you mean playable character or do you mean costume?

[bronze monolith]

That's actually pretty cool.

[random granite]

they've been adding playable characters recently

[gilded adder]

Examples?

[random granite]

or announcing them at least

[tawdry valley]

Oh wow, very interesting

[tawdry valley]

Okay elaborate on playable characters

[random granite]

well they're adding the drifter from hyper light drifter

[tawdry valley]

Cause skin(s) based off a character doesn’t mean that character is playable, or that there’s a new one in game

[random granite]

the drifter is getting his blaster so i'd assume playable character

though i may be wrong and they might be skins, I don't know enough about it to be sure

[gilded adder]

Also, everyone.

How we doing today?

[bronze monolith]

Alright thanks, yourself?

[gilded adder]

I'm doing well.

[tawdry valley]

Pretty sure the drifter outfit has been in game for a while, but yeah:
They’re playable characters or at least new skins with new weapons: https://mobile.twitter.com/motiontwin/status/1457755293291528193?t=zZBM_yA7b0ZcPIfLXHcwEw&s=09

Motion Twin (@motiontwin)

Knock! Knock!
Some of you saw it coming: yes, the Drifter from @HeartMachineHQ will be soon in Dead Cells!
He'll bring his sense of style plus, the first and only blaster in the game's history!

P good

[sacred stratus]

anyone wants to play a little game?

[pallid flare]

no sorry

[sacred stratus]

didn't ask

[pallid flare]

you did

[bronze monolith]

I'm glad to hear it. Best of luck to you and the others when The Game Awards happen. 😉

[sacred stratus]

yes I did but not you

[pallid flare]

ratio

[sacred stratus]

ratio

[gilded adder]

The Game Awards will be hell. But we will be ready for it.

[tawdry valley]

Honestly the biggest thing I’m hyped for regarding SS (outside of the new combat) is having a whole new map to explore

[sacred stratus]

the nominees this year weren't really it IMO (aside from metroid which I've heard is amazing)

[gilded adder]

Exploring Hallownest was such a joy and I'm sure Pharloom will be equally great, if not better.

[tawdry valley]

Better yet, I can now actually discern/appreciate “””intended”” and “””unintended”” routes

[sacred stratus]

tbh Metroid dread will probably win GOTY

[sacred stratus]

yessir

[bronze monolith]

I'm looking forward to basically everything that sucked me into the first game. I've been replaying it for the last three days, now attempting Pantheon of Hallownest.

[gilded adder]

Nier should have had more nominations

[winter cypress]

im hype for the movement

hornet looks so fun to play

[sacred stratus]

ewww game for weebs

[winter cypress]

she literally bounces off enemies and does backflips

[gilded adder]

no u

[tawdry valley]

I’m wondering if I’d want to choose the deepnest during early game equivalent of SS or if I’d want to take a more simple route

[bronze monolith]

Hornet seems like she'll be more of a nimble glass cannon.

[sacred stratus]

no u

[tawdry valley]

Cause when I play HK now, I know I can enter CoT last out of any of the areas

[gilded adder]

She can heal 3 masks in one go though so I feel like that will make her less of a glass cannon.

[sacred stratus]

which is amazing bcs in HK (at the end game at least) you become a tank

[opaque sigil]

Hornet has superb survivability

[sacred stratus]

enemies will deal more damage in SS and will be more aggressive

[sand lodge]

I'm most excited for the combat and tool combinations

[opaque sigil]

Her heal is much, much stronger

[bronze monolith]

Oh and the music. I haven't listened to Bonebottom but Lace's theme is great.

[sacred stratus]

I'm most excited for the map. I enjoy exploring my neighborhood and Uni grounds so a new awesome map will be cool

[gilded adder]

That is true but it doesn't make her any more of a glass cannon. A glass cannon isn't determined by attributes of others, more so attributes of the thing itself. Hence, why it's called a glass cannon.

[bronze monolith]

It'll be an interesting departure from the silent protagonist of the last game, since Hornet can actually talk to other bugs.

I hunger for new lore.

[gilded adder]

I hunger for Silksong

[bronze monolith]

Don't we all.

[sacred stratus]

well yes but since it's not a fighting game or a MOBA or a hero shooter or anything we can't really say that a character is: "glass cannon" since there are no other playable characters for comparison

so we will have to use enemy damage and aggression instead

[opaque sigil]

Or just don't use the term if it doesn't apply, instead of coming up with nonsense metrics

[bronze monolith]

One thing that excited me in the Edge interview is that the enemies will be smarter. They kind of have to be since Hornet will be jumping all over the place.

[vagrant umbra]

Yo anyone else hear about the Hollow Knight and Dead Cells collab? I fell in love with both of those games at the same time.

[bronze monolith]

Yeah, someone mentioned it a few minutes ago.

[gilded adder]

We were just talking about it

[opaque sigil]

Yeah standard enemy combat is something that could really be improved in SS

HK enemies were pretty lackluster (with some exceptions)

[gilded adder]

Goomba+ time

[bronze monolith]

If I remember right Team Cherry said the husk guards from City of Tears were their most complex enemies and they plan to surpass them.

[coarse leaf]

I want Metoird Dread as a GoTY bcz it's a fantastic game, but we all know that Ratchet and Clank or Deathloop will win

[opaque sigil]

If they said that then they were wrong because the moss knights are way more complex

[sacred stratus]

most enemies were simplistic in their nature and that's ok, most enemies in most metroidvenias are of that nature.

[coarse leaf]

Never played Dead Cells, but it would be great!

[bronze monolith]

Metroid Dread was fun but it felt a little short to me. I 100%'d it in 11 hours.

[gilded adder]

I've heard great things about Ratchet and Clank. Have no clue on Deathloop though.

[bronze monolith]

Deathloop is also a fun game but I don't think it has that much replay value.

[opaque sigil]

Deathloop is fine but it kinda pulls itself in two opposite directions

[vagrant umbra]

Like I saw a Reddit post about it, and seeing Dead Cells I think, “oh boy, another post about the Knight’s mask on the wall” and I realize, “WAIT A MINUTE, this is new!!”.

[coarse leaf]

I mean, if a game does that to you, maybe it's bcz you enjoy the game a lot? Like, I felt the same when I completed HK

[bronze monolith]

That's true.

[opaque sigil]

Nobody gets 112% in HK in 11 hours

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, there's some games that didn't appear at all in TGA and that's sad

[bronze monolith]

Maybe, but they can certainly get 100% in 8 or less.

[opaque sigil]

Not on first playthroughs

[sacred stratus]

it took me 60 hrs to get 112%

bcs some of the percentage comes for extremely hard challenges and not secrets

[coarse leaf]

Also, never played 12 Minutes, but why people talk so bad about it?

[gilded adder]

I never got 112%. I've been at 108% for years now

[coarse leaf]

im at 102 after about 60 hours and thats with help

[bronze monolith]

Heard of 12 Minutes, looks interesting. Is something wrong with it?

[coarse leaf]

Like, maybe it's bcz that it's a lot repetitive since it just restarts the game after 12 minutes?

[gilded adder]

All I know about it is that it shits the bed halfway through and becomes a really disgusting type of game. I don't recall the details but it's really weird and off-putting from what I can remember. People mainly hate it for the story.

[bronze monolith]

I kind of hope in Silksong we get to see a bit more of the wasteland between the kingdoms. Howling Cliffs and Land of Storms was creepy.

[pallid flare]

the game is actually quite decent

but nothing I would've paid money for

aka actually bought

[coarse leaf]

But like, that's enough to make people say that it could be easily replaced by another indie in TGA?

[bronze monolith]

Apparently Axiom Verge 2 wasn't that great either. I was interested in that, loved the first game.

[gilded adder]

You know what time it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFAknD_9U7c&ab_channel=TeamCherry

SILKSONG?!!

Ah yes. The daily ritual.

you cant just make the same joke as me but more exagerated just after me thats illegal to article 36 of humour

[copper knot]

first dst x terraria and now deadcells x hk? best month of my life

[sinful flare]

IT'S

[bronze monolith]

I recently heard about the Nvidia leak. Taken it with a massive pinch of salt. I bet it's already been discussed and dissected to death here?

[pallid flare]

it was

[sinful flare]

IT'S ARMOR JOE!!!!!!!!

[coarse leaf]

Oh yeah, there was that DST + Terraria thingy, it was kinda cool, but I never played Terraria, so idk

[bronze monolith]

Terraria is fantastic! I highly recommend it.

[pallid flare]

true

[sinful flare]

Maybe try tmodloader as well

[coarse leaf]

tbf, if there's was any partnership with HK + some game, I think it could be between Celeste and Hades??

Actually, forget it, I forgot there's actual lore on these games

[gilded adder]

Need Silksong expeditiously

[sinful flare]

Ugh i wish games didnt have lore

(So that crossovers would be canon)

[gilded adder]

Good thing HK doesn't have any.

[sinful flare]

(WHAT ABOUT HOLLOW KNIGHT: SHARPSHADOW)

[pallid flare]

blackwyrm?? what the hell are you talking about, let's go do path of pain!

[coarse leaf]

It's simple: Just make the characters go into the same universe and make an official lore for both games!

[bronze monolith]

I actually downloaded a save for Path of Pain just so I could keep doing it. It got fun after a while.

[coarse leaf]

like what happened with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro

[sinful flare]

Uh no because [goes to explain shit] would conflict with [safjdshflajdhljkhdflbdx]

I dont know if lore can conflict between games

Anyways let's discuss on beating last judge strategies

[coarse leaf]

But.... Silksong didn't release yet...

[radiant wraith]

Git gud

[sinful flare]

I'm struggling at last judge.

[radiant wraith]

Wrong reply

[coarse leaf]

Just call an objection!

[bronze monolith]

Assuming that the fanmade boss of Lace counts, I've already mastered that. 😛

[sinful flare]

Um i don't have any [insert currency]

[copper knot]

tetris

[winter cypress]

god i love that fangame

[bronze monolith]

It's rough around the edges but it's very good.

[tawdry valley]

That was patched out actually, we now know the game is an Australian wildlife documentary

[gilded adder]

[opaque sigil]

Damn Australia scary

[glacial raft]

So when is the SS release date?

[pallid flare]

soon

[bronze monolith]

Depends on who you ask.

[sinful flare]

Um
Never!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (/j)

[stark estuary]

1 Feb 2048

[bronze monolith]

Some people think February.

[glacial raft]

Damn it

[cedar current]

Do yall think the leaked febuary 1 relese date is gonna be true
or do yall think its a placeholder

[pallid flare]

placeholder

[hollow sedge]

its a placeholder, alot of the dates on the leak aren't even true

[bronze monolith]

It could release not too far from that date for all we know. But it's all just speculation. I'm assuming it's a placeholder but I'd love to be proven wrong.

[opaque sigil]

It’s almost like leaks aren’t credible

[cedar current]

I mean the leak was from a pretty reliable source

[opaque sigil]

Not for that information

[cunning geode]

that doesnt mean it wasnt a placeholder

[cedar current]

true

[opaque sigil]

Steam seemed like a pretty reliable source too, probably

[cedar current]

well that was a placeholder that was quickly deleted

[pallid flare]

the nvidia one was too

[cedar current]

True

[warm bone]

[bronze monolith]

Didn't Leth say that Silksong will be out before Crowsworn? Crowsworn's devs said they want to have it released by the end of 2023.

[opaque sigil]

Same situation

[warm bone]

?leakpsa

[pallid flare]

probably

[opaque sigil]

He didn’t say that officially or absolutely

It was an offhand comment that was clearly a guess

[bronze monolith]

Alright.

[uncut citrus]

Still then I think it’s safe to assume we’ll have Silksong before the end of 2023

[sinful flare]

i think it's safe to assume we'll have silksong before any of us dies from aging

[pallid flare]

or are we?

[uncut citrus]

Even if anything can happen, it would be wierd to take that long considering their speed and how big it’s supposed to be

[sinful flare]

silksong has a small development team

[uncut citrus]

For it to release by the end of 2023 it would be like 5 times bigger than HK (which I hope but at the same time I want silksong soon )

[sinful flare]

you... you were hk.???

[bronze monolith]

Were HK. Now they're the Pure Vessel.

[uncut citrus]

What

How did I end up saying that what in the combination of pressing the wrong key and autocorrect

[grim forge]

I want to believe

[uncut citrus]

February seems legit but 1st is likely a placeholder

[opaque sigil]

I mean that's a bs argument

Like ig that that's easier to rationalize but that doesn't really make it more likely

[bronze monolith]

At least Elden Ring will be a nice distraction.

[grim forge]

If they have a release month in mind I don't see why they would leave the day specifically as placeholder

[opaque sigil]

And the "February seems legit" isn't a real argument either

[uncut citrus]

But 2years since they started working on it was obviously too soon, 4-5 is way more plausible

[opaque sigil]

If that had said October, or June, or any other month save December, it would "seem legit"

[trim estuary]

Because why make an exact estimate

[nimble radish]

exact and estimate don't really mesh well

[trim estuary]

Yeah but it’s February and February is February

[trim estuary]

Yes they do shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[grim forge]

What

[brittle garnet]

whoops wrong link

[nimble radish]

how is that related to Hollow Knight: Silksong

[grim forge]

Ah

[grim forge]

Banned for off-topic link

[brittle garnet]

Ey y'all heard about this? (correct link this time)

[nimble radish]

oh, hey echo
haven't seen you around as much

[grim forge]

Hello

[uncut citrus]

Well yeah, i mean it could be any months, but since they do a lot of stuff in February the fact the leaked date was also February makes it looks like it would be real, that’s kinda the only reason it’s more likely than other months, doesn’t mean it will release in February but just that there a tiny hope

[opaque sigil]

There would be a "tiny hope" for any month

[grim forge]

Oh thags sick

[uncut citrus]

Yes I saw but didn’t think it was worth editing for everyone would understand APPARENTLY I WAS WRONG

[nimble radish]

could be any month but I'd like it to be february because then you'd be wrong

[trim estuary]

Whasthis

[nimble radish]

wales moment

[brittle garnet]

Dead Cells x Hollow Knight crossover

[trim estuary]

[coarse leaf]

i do think it is the case xd

[trim estuary]

(I’ve never played dead cells but anyways)

[brittle garnet]

Dead Cells is doing a crossover with several indie metroidvanias

like Blasphemous and Skul

[coarse leaf]

And you're too pessimistic

[opaque sigil]

Anything determined more than six months in advance and not publicized has zero credibility

[trim estuary]

I thought Skul was a roguelike? Also is the Steamworld Dig series included?

[brittle garnet]

Skul is kind of a mix between a roguelike and metroidvania, just like Dead Cells

[marsh ibex]

Did

Someone

Say

Skul

[opaque sigil]

They aren't metroidvanias at all

[brittle garnet]

yeth

[trim estuary]

uh oh

[marsh ibex]

also skul isn’t really metroidvania at all

[brittle garnet]

ok then I'm wrong, it's not metroidvanias specifically

but indie platformers

[nimble radish]

procedurally generated metroidvania

[trim estuary]

Like Terraria?

[pallid flare]

no?

[uncut citrus]

That’s why it would definitely not be 2019, if they worked only like 1year worth of SS development between 2017 and early 2019 then that’ll mean it would have been basically 2 year of development for it to release in 2020, so that’s already pretty soon and unlikely, however 4 years in 2022 or even 5 in 2023 is actually possible, end 2023 would also be but that would mean 6 years of development which would be pretty long, even if possible

[coarse leaf]

SS will be big but not that big, period

and here comes Tammo saying "you don't know that"

[bronze monolith]

It could be like what Ari said about them getting Hollow Knight "done" after a while but they kept adding new stuff to it.

[uncut citrus]

But what if it is

[proud vale]

Just saw the cave painting Graig sent

[dusty nimbus]

They are too similar

You play as a corpse in both games

Mmmmmm green onion

Green onions are one of the best tasting onions when eaten raw

[stark estuary]

Leek

[serene chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/orihime-inoue-bleach-leak-spin-leak-ichigo-gif-17437258

[grim forge]

Silksong leek

[languid linden]

I love leeks, especially when they're sil-god damn it echo and wifi

[stark estuary]

eekslay

[trim estuary]

Wait, Echo’s here?

[dusty nimbus]

Are green onions leeks?

[mortal walrus]

Waiting be like:

[proud vale]

Grunion

[trim estuary]

⌚

[dusty nimbus]

Good news

[random fox]

No

[dusty nimbus]

You no longer have to wait for I have the solution

[random fox]

Leeks are different vegetable

[dusty nimbus]

A bullet

It ends life subscription and waiting queues in life subscription

[dusty nimbus]

[trim estuary]

Bruh

Just use a cryo chamber

[dusty nimbus]

That doesn't end all waiting

It just stalls it

What you need is a bullet trust me

||Zip don't ruin this for me, I'm finally gonna get someone to buy my bullet without a gun||

[trim estuary]

But then there is nothing

[fluid orchid]

I am hyped for motion twin adding a HK skin

[trim estuary]

Oh never mind a bullet will work

[dusty nimbus]

See? There's the spirit

Totally choose the bullet it even comes in a bag only costs 9.99$ totally a fair price and not a scam

[proud vale]

So, I wonder what goss we can get from the barkeep in silksong

[stark estuary]

Thank you for giving me the idea

[serene chasm]

isnt grindle the one that gives goss

[proud vale]

I think he gives secrets among the goss, but I imagine the barkeep would have some interesting things to say

[stark estuary]

I think barkeep will tell us stories about the great war against the Void kingdom

In which the barkeep fought

[gilded adder]

The Blackwyrm fight

[proud vale]

Heya Jonny - and damn what a guy

[gilded adder]

Hello Orange

[hollow terrace]

consider

[full rune]

i am considering

[hollow terrace]

TC nfts

thoughts? concerns? objections?

[proud vale]

So many of my orange kin

[charred pulsar]

[proud vale]

I want a NFT of a shrumeling

[hollow terrace]

pic goes hard feel free to screenshot

[opaque sigil]

[nimble radish]

we could sell an nft of you

[hollow terrace]

Ill ban you

[opaque sigil]

Do it then

[nimble radish]

you wouldn't

[stark estuary]

Was nice knowing ya

[proud vale]

Aren't NFTs for people who wanna do crypto but want a png to show for it

[nimble radish]

you'll still have the displeasure of knowing me after I'm banned from this server

[hollow terrace]

no it's short for, Nice Fucking T-shirts

[opaque sigil]

[proud vale]

Damn so many people complimenting me

[hollow terrace]

thats why I said what about TC shirts

[proud vale]

Reminds me to get hyped about more silksong merch

I mean silksong merch already exists

[cerulean sable]

i legit wish SIlksong would have these megapacks

[radiant wraith]

I heard they are making a game about Silksong

[proud vale]

That would be cool Taco

[cerulean sable]

preview is borked

[radiant wraith]

Now that's what I call merch

[opaque sigil]

Why does nobody spell TTacco correctly

[radiant wraith]

I don't know, I'm not interested

[blazing geyser]

Why does nobody spell Tammy correctly

[cerulean sable]

i dont mind at this point

its like calling Timothy as Tim these days for me

[proud vale]

Usually your display name is Del-Acco or Alpha-cco anyway

[winter cypress]

so true

[pliant dagger]

i like seth seth is cool

[opaque sigil]

Seth is very cool yes

[pliant dagger]

upvote for seth

[opaque sigil]

[cerulean sable]

i was doing the greek alphabets ok

[proud vale]

I thought you changed it everytime someone made an unoriginal ss joke

[pliant dagger]

[pliant dagger]

buetiful boy

[pliant dagger]

i cant wait to fight him in game

[opaque sigil]

I can. He's gonna kill me a bunch

[cerulean sable]

no i changed everytime i wasnt bored

[radiant wraith]

I hope we don't have to kill him

[charred pulsar]

[opaque sigil]

I don't think we do

[radiant wraith]

He looks friendly enough in the first gif

[pliant dagger]

long live seth

[pliant dagger]

he must get pretty grumpy at you tho

[radiant wraith]

Is that the first bug with an english name?

[opaque sigil]

I think the fight takes place before the passive encounter

[pliant dagger]

like hornet kinda

[opaque sigil]

I think some of the ghosts have normal-ish names

[stark estuary]

Sounds like a skill issue

[pliant dagger]

he was made by a backer who chose the name

[opaque sigil]

Well Seth wasn't made by a backer

[stark estuary]

Like Magnus Strong

[opaque sigil]

Kirb is Magnus Strong a normal name to you

[stark estuary]

Yeah

[rapid topaz]

Hello

[pliant dagger]

seems normal to me

[opaque sigil]

There's Wyatt and Karina, both of which are normal names

[stark estuary]

His name is Magnus and he's Strong, adds up.

[proud vale]

Reminder of Seth's chilling description:
An eternal protector, waiting amidst tangled roots at the base of the Citadel. He guards a secret long forgotten and will attack any who stray too close. Imbued with stamina and strength beyond a normal bug, he strikes up close or from a distance with blinding speed. With unwavering devotion, this ancient guardian will fight until the very end, and beyond. Many of the Citadel’s caste have fallen to this deadly warrior. Those who encounter him should turn back, or else prepare for a vicious battle.

[opaque sigil]

And Marissa, of course

[stable current]

Hellow knight silksong is TGA?

[surreal mortar]

Did you guys see that dead cells hollow knight crossover thing

[pliant dagger]

so epic

[opaque sigil]

Like half a dozen times by now

[surreal mortar]

what does it meAN

[opaque sigil]

Nothing for SS

[surreal mortar]

No ofc it’s gonna be the Silksong release date

What else would it be

[opaque sigil]

Anyways onto the real questions: Skul/HK collab when?

[proud vale]

Can someone link an image of the crossover thing? I don't think I'm familiar

[surreal mortar]

Also how tf was edge 11 months ago. Wtf

[cerulean sable]

Seth is made by a kid who did a wish to a children's make a wish kinda foundation and said he wanted to talk to TC and Paper Yacht games

I'm excited learn more about The Voice (the (presumably Higher) Being responsible for Seth's empowerment). Seems to be benevolent and opposing the (presumably Higher) Being responsible for The Haunting. Wonder what its goals are, HBs are rarely purely altruistic.

[cerulean sable]

his wish was was essentially just to talk to them, but TC extended this by making him his own new character

[proud vale]

Damnnnn that's hype

[stark estuary]

About that

[opaque sigil]

[pliant dagger]

have u heard seths fanmade boss theme

[surreal mortar]

Ok but the main crossover today is terraria 1.4.3 let’s not be mistaken

[cerulean sable]

no not really

[proud vale]

Yeah it sounds like there's a few higher beings going around pharloom

[surreal mortar]

As you do

[opaque sigil]

Well, two maybe.

[pliant dagger]

maybe pale ones too

[opaque sigil]

No, one's dead the other's stuck

[stark estuary]

The dead one can just be revived, I fully expect this to happen

[shell yacht]

wonder if ones tied to metalworking

[proud vale]

Sherma prime is one

[shell yacht]

yall are on drugs nvm goodbye

[opaque sigil]

The only drug I'm on is the truth

[stark estuary]

I'm on Gulka venom and have been for the past few weeks

[proud vale]

Powdered have you seen the network test footage for elden ring ?

Seems pretty cool so far

[stark estuary]

A certain race of Harmonia Hallownest spends their entire lives honouring their ancestors. It is said that this race can use their unique power to capture the power of their ancestors in a special rock. This special rock is often said to contain "Essence".

[opaque sigil]

The fuck

That doesn't count

[shell yacht]

watched a bit, trying to stay mostly spoiler free. game looks crisp, spells look great

[opaque sigil]

Where's my goddamn Knight skull

[languid linden]

Trash can

[shell yacht]

wat

[proud vale]

Yeah that's pretty much same as me, I haven't gone too deep into spoilers. I heard there's some weird backstab properties that need to be fixed but other than that people are praising it alot

[shell yacht]

oh right, was there another crowsworn update

[languid linden]

Hornet didn't have any sentimental value for TK but she didn't want the corpse to just lie there so she threw it away

[stark estuary]

Skul = TK, think about it

[opaque sigil]

I don't have to to know you're wrong

[shell yacht]

bruh everytime i open kickstarter theres a new HK clone on the front page

[stark estuary]

Yeah like Metroid Dread

Oh wait

[opaque sigil]

[stark estuary]

Am I though

[opaque sigil]

Always

[proud vale]

Wait this isn't gleamlight 2 discussion?

[stark estuary]

Where do I sign up

I wish HK was half as good as Gleamlight

[shell yacht]

no fr the trailer has like fireball, and goams lol

[opaque sigil]

Because then that would make Gleamlight twice as good as HK

[stark estuary]

Gleamlight has better lore too (mainly because idk what Gleamlight lore is so it's better by default)

[shell yacht]

its like ds3/blasphemous/hk

[proud vale]

the perfect metroidvania

Ori 2

[languid linden]

What's it called

[stark estuary]

It's called || made you look ||

[languid linden]

Nope because I have spoiler tags automatically revealed

[shell yacht]

Silent Santicado - A Dark and Atmospheric Retro Metroidvania, via @Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vastudios/silent-santicado?ref=android_project_share

it doesnt look bad

[stark estuary]

Does it have Blackwyrm tho

[shell yacht]

maybe

[stark estuary]

If not then its worse than HK

[shell yacht]

YO ITS IN TEXAS
if it has wyrms theyre bigger

only place with bugs to compete with Australia

[proud vale]

Holy crap... why is the fireball thing SO much like vengeful spirit

Also quiet unseen curse

[shell yacht]

nothings as blatant as the game that says hold (button) to focus soul and heal

[opaque sigil]

The Moonweft Blade is a magic sword that Luna encounters early in her journey. Its enchanted blade can easily rend the faded bodies of specters, and it gathers energy as it cuts through your foes. This charge can be consumed to restore Luna's lost health

[shell yacht]

i... i wasnt even talking about this one

[languid linden]

Doesn't look too bad I guess, but I don't think it would be my kind of game

[languid linden]

What no our bugs aren't that bad

[shell yacht]

hit stuff to build a heal meter is a good mechanic for games to copy tho its balanced and ez to grasp and manage

[opaque sigil]

Does one of them have a gun to your head rn

[shell yacht]

everythings bigger in Texas tho its a rule

[proud vale]

Broooo why are there literally 0 different mechanics from HK in this kickstarter

[opaque sigil]

There are some

[shell yacht]

whatever that giant menu is for

and bloodsplatter

that decapitated statue is how u get into lothric castle tho

wait fuck ik what those are

[proud vale]

the sprites even

[stark estuary]

Yo we found Esmy

[languid linden]

Muting channel goodbye

I hate bugs

[shell yacht]

dobber fly iirc, thats a male iirc. they get massive

[languid linden]

HK bugs look nothing like rl bugs

[shell yacht]

willoh

willoh is a 1:1 giraffe weevil

brb

[proud vale]

That's literally so trash, if they want to make a game like Hollow Knight at least put some kinda spin on it more than just pixely graphics and 16 bit music

[stark estuary]

Yo this is inverted Shade Cloak

Instead of Void it uses Essence

[proud vale]

Yeah they do kind of lean heavily into the 'dream' concept huh

[stark estuary]

PK is that you

[lone lichen]

simply get your ng+5 friend to drop you gael crossbow and millwood so you can bowglitch dancer

[stark estuary]

Guess my theory about him reincarnating was true

[proud vale]

Also the first palate is very reminiscent of the hk palate (dark blues and greens then bright orange)

There's actually 25 lol

Seems like a weird thing to do if you want players to be immersed in the world you're making, the game will probably look different for every different content creator

[still owl]

it's beginning lol

kickstarter trailer does look cool tho

not sure if I am a big fan of the gameboy-esk graphics though :(
I like colors!

music bops as well

[shell yacht]

its worse, thats carfree melody

[brazen needle]

What game is everyone talking about?

[gilded adder]

Did you all see the new Crowsworn NPC? It looks really cool.

[shell yacht]

???

i just checked kickstarter for an update whered they post this @gilded adder

possibly.

[bronze monolith]

Doubt it but that would be awesome.

the fact that they didn't nominate it, to me that means nothing.

i will point at chat and laugh like i always do

[shell yacht]

5.60$

[lament lotus]

damn

[bronze monolith]

I remember when half the people here were saying it was preposterous that the one curved line posted on Twitter by Edge's editor could be a Silksong teaser. That was true in the end.

[vague heath]

silksong will .100% be at The Game Awards

[frank sparrow]

if its at TGA ill eat a sock'

[gilded adder]

The only prophecy that ever came true was Edge tbh

[digital junco]

"guys silksong will be at TGA i just know it"
"guys silksong will be at e3 i just know it"

[bronze monolith]

I think Silksong will be out in 2022.

And if I'm wrong I'll say it'll come out in 2023. Ad infinitum. Eventually I will be right.

[shell yacht]

edge wasnt even a prediction didnt leth confirm it

[digital junco]

what of you die before silksong releases and cannot continue

[bronze monolith]

I probably wouldn't be the first to die waiting for it.

I'll come back as a poltergeist. I'll play it from beyond the grave.

[digital junco]

phantasmagorial gaming

[gilded adder]

I don't remember Leth saying anything about it. I do remember people picking up on Jen's teases on twitter and making a google doc with their theories and evidence though.

[shell yacht]

google docs

[bronze monolith]

Leth posted this on the day of the article cover reveal. He knew what he was doing.

[tardy orbit]

That’s a good idea but they can also just say nothing and people will still get it. It’s been a year of no news and people aren’t hyped anymore per se but they’ll definitely get it when it comes out.

[warm bone]

I hope we will go a year without news

I think that would be funny

[bronze monolith]

Ah, there's the link. #sk-discussion message

[cerulean sable]

Extrapolate little details

theyre not wrong tbh, weve been unironically analyzing pixels at this point

[tardy orbit]

At this point? That was 8 months ago taco

[cerulean sable]

were still doing it tho

last week weve been analyzing grass textures in HK vs SS

[winter cypress]

it’s gotten worse if anything

[tardy orbit]

[serene chasm]

virgin flat grass vs chad shaded grass

[tardy orbit]

Eyo where the grore analysis at

[frank sparrow]

huh more shading and more colours to the grass in SS they going for a lot of detail

[radiant wraith]

Pretty SS

[tardy orbit]

Time to touch what those pictures depict

[radiant wraith]

I've touched enough thank you

Now I want the true grass experience

That is, Moss Grotto

[tardy orbit]

Irl grass is too fake

[radiant wraith]

It's not Silksong enough is all

[serene chasm]

Fuck this game is good looking

[warm bone]

I know right, elden ring looks so much better than the other souls games

[proud vale]

Does it?

[warm bone]

✨ color✨

[proud vale]

Keen for this in elden ring

[warm bone]

playable yeezus

YO WTF JOHN DARK SOULS

[pastel silo]

No quite the opposite, he said that magazines are not part of their release date plan ...that comment made many people immediately conclude that edge is not happening despite it deconfirming only release date being included

[shell yacht]

[analog forge]

Actually quite a few peeps "not part of their RELEASE plan, ergo it could still be edge"

[pastel silo]

And ofc it was the only one being true as it was the only one supported by quite obvious hints

[analog forge]

Because people overread into EVERYTHING here

[chilly nexus]

the edge naysayers ate their socks that day

[warm bone]

fattest L in history

[analog forge]

It wasnt a prophecy it was a theory

Edge theory

[chilly nexus]

it was a puzzle that people solved

that some people needed to wait for the answer key for

anywhoooo. yes. shaded grass is hot. i can't wait to touch it

[warm bone]

imagine touching grass

[frozen cedar]

Man, Silksong is gonna be great-

I wonder if they were exaggerating when they said, "we ended up with about 100 benches."

[warm bone]

[pastel silo]

Over 100 types of benches*

[warm bone]

life is cyclical

[frozen cedar]

Yeah.

[proud vale]

Touching grass in video games, genius

[warm bone]

people don't learn and the same topics persist

[warm bone]

touching grass of any kind is a gamer's sin

[chilly nexus]

soon it'll be touch snow

[frozen cedar]

Dreams.

Dreaming about grass.

[warm bone]

gamers don't dream

they game

[gilded adder]

I'm about to level up and you look like just enough XP

[frank sparrow]

why is Knightmere's name December 9th 2021-

[gilded adder]

That's when TGA is

[fleet temple]

Eat. Sleep. Fortnite. Repeat

[cerulean sable]

Silksong should implement a levelling system yeah

the typical STR DEX VIT etc bullshit

[warm bone]

imagine leveling dex in silksong

[cerulean sable]

also zoom in to these textures, see how mush they are

compared to SS' superior shaded leaves

[radiant wraith]

Can't wait to get Silksong and spend time looking at leaves

[cerulean sable]

seriously i love the shade of green used in SS compared to HK

something about the more yellowish and vibrant plants just makes it more easy on the eyes

[radiant wraith]

Yep, it's nice to see some vibrant colours, I'd also like to see a clear blue sky from TC

At the top of Pharloom maybe?

[proud vale]

Well it's from a different area, seems a little more arid than greenpath

[cerulean sable]

i mean im not dissing HK's grass ofc

it fits the game's atmosphere, just that i prefer SS color direction way more

[proud vale]

Yeah, and there are other extremely vibrant areas in SS like the coral area

and the citadel

[radiant wraith]

Coral area

[cerulean sable]

then again im more biased to Olive green

[frank sparrow]

i feel like the reason SS has more vibrant colours is because it doesn't seem well abandoned while HK had the duller colours to indicate that good old abandonment

[cerulean sable]

maybe the darker colors just reminds me too much of jungles, and i fucking hate jungles

[proud vale]

Yeah the olive green reminds me of some kind of hot jungle

[cerulean sable]

maybe its just a case im so jaded to the dark colors after playing the game for too much that i wanna get something bright for once 🥴

its like why a lot of people wants to go to the tropics for a vacation

[proud vale]

Wait but the ss green is darker than the hk green

[cerulean sable]

i think its the lack of blue tint

it is a darker green but it feels more, warm?

especially with the yellow lighting in that scene

[proud vale]

Keen to see this dead cells hk collab, TC doesn't normally do things like that

[cerulean sable]

yeah

[graceful iris]

are y’all really talking about the color of the grass in silksong. I thought I was starting to get impatient lol

[cerulean sable]

theyre very tight on the IP

and iirc its because according to Leth, they hate commercializing the game

[proud vale]

they must respect Dead Cells alot to agree

[runic adder]

I just realized a funny coincidence with the Dead Cells collab

[cerulean sable]

meanwhile the creators of Hello Neighbor was trying too hard to get MattPatt to make a video about them 🥴

[runic adder]

It’ll be announced on November 19th, the day Grover predicted for SS last year

[proud vale]

thats today for me in aus-land

[proud vale]

haha chill tinybuild

[cerulean sable]

i might actually buy DCs after this

[frank sparrow]

i should quit university THERE IS A COLLAB BETWEEN DEAD CELLS AND HK?! WHAT

[runic adder]

Iirc the DC devs are French so it’ll be the 19th for them

[cerulean sable]

yeah pretty much, want us to talk about the new scorch marks in Deep Dock's textures?

[graceful iris]

new scorch marks?

as opposed to the old scorch marks for a game that’s not out?

[potent plover]

Oh my god, new scorch marks??

[radiant wraith]

No way!

[cerulean sable]

@serene chasm if you would please

i need a resource of all these images ngl

[proud vale]

Should I join the cult also

[cerulean sable]

basically in the demo, the deep docks have clean textures

whereas in the magazine, theyre all scratched up and burnt now

at the very same image of the area it was in the demo

[graceful iris]

oh that’s interesting... I think

[cunning geode]

Hornet did some drag racing through the deep docks

tire burns

[cerulean sable]

which led to some people

[grim forge]

Hornet motorcycle tool

[graceful iris]

I don’t know what that means for how far game progression is

[cerulean sable]

"OMG THEYRE REFINING THE TEXTURES IT MEANS THE GAME IS CLOSE TO COMMPLEITION SINCE THEYRE JSUT POOLISHING IT"

[proud vale]

hmm

[cerulean sable]

and to be honest i was kinda in that camp for the first 3 months 🥴

[cunning geode]

camper

[graceful iris]

when did that magazine come out all the silksong announcements habe kinda blurred together

[cerulean sable]

added

[graceful iris]

was it early this year?

[cerulean sable]

Dec 2020

[grim forge]

December 2020

[frank sparrow]

it was a good magazine

[graceful iris]

dang that’s almost a year ago 😅

[grim forge]

Yeah it's been awhile

[cerulean sable]

BUT TGA WILL give us news

[graceful iris]

That’s digital tho rigjt physical came out in like may?

[cerulean sable]

i can feel it

its not a coincidence

we will not be denied silksong on tga

[grim forge]

Indie Direct believers be like

[analog forge]

Physical edge came out a minth later

[frank sparrow]

ONLY TGA WILL GIVE US THE ANSWERS WE NEED

[graceful iris]

I have said that about every indie direct up until the last one, I doubt any news will be in an indie tbh

[proud vale]

That's what I thought about the animal crossing direct but boy was I wrong

[cerulean sable]

TGA aint Indie boyo

[graceful iris]

if tga doesn’t give us anything we’re gonna have to wait til e3

[cerulean sable]

and we know for the fact that TC has been contacted twice by TGA back in 2018 and 2019

[graceful iris]

? How

[proud vale]

this you?

[cerulean sable]

i do not know this man

[proud vale]

Lol his catchphrase is also 'boyo'

[graceful iris]

Hopefully the opinion TGA unfit doesn’t hold true

[opaque sigil]

TC having turned down offers to be at TGA in the past is in no way compelling evidence for their being at TGA but like I assume you already know that

[chilly nexus]

twas a different time

[grim forge]

He's clinging to hope

[cerulean sable]

You assume i act in accordance to logic

[graceful iris]

I just try to forget silksong exists and just play hollow knight randomizers to pass the time

[chilly nexus]

maybe SS at E3/SGF 2022

[graceful iris]

alr did literally everything in the game

[chilly nexus]

but if that's the case, i will no longer be able to play SS

[graceful iris]

oh shoot I still have to do all binding p5 bruh

[cerulean sable]

Dont put me at your level Tam, i operate in a level higher than logic

and that is the blind faith

and besides if were wrong, i push the date to December anyway

so all edge cases are accounted for

so statistically we cannot lose 😎

[analog forge]

They wanted a world premiere after the game was announced

[grim forge]

Putting all your faith in events is the final evolution of Silksong fans

[analog forge]

Clearly inpossible, hence why it was denied
