[burnt topaz]

theres fanfics of everything

[uncut citrus]

Any kid?

[stark estuary]

I found it accidentally and thought it'd be funny. It was not funny.

[coarse leaf]

As usual

i'm guessing it was... sexual

[finite slate]

Yea Pvz2 then all the rest are bad

[languid linden]

Apparently towards the end it got NSFW

[coarse leaf]

PvZ 2 was okay ig?
Like, it was so weird that you need to pay $3 for some plants??

[uncut citrus]

Was bought by EA right?

[stark estuary]

The second to last line was what truly killed me

[coarse leaf]

wattpad fan fictions clearly display humanity's capacity for inhumanity

[coarse leaf]

No, please....

[uncut citrus]

So off you’ll need to pay 3$ for a plant

[coarse leaf]

I don't want to even imagine that nightmare

[uncut citrus]

ofc*

[stark estuary]

Yeah PVZ2 was a cash grab

[burnt topaz]

well now i have to know

[coarse leaf]

does someone put something in a pea shooter

[coarse leaf]

No, but like, it was $3 each plant

[uncut citrus]

I know

[coarse leaf]

I think in order to receive all the plants, you would need to pay $20 or something like that

[uncut citrus]

I played it a bit, thought only on my brother account

[coarse leaf]

for a mobile game

[burnt topaz]

yikes that sounds kinda shitty

[stark estuary]

PVZ2 also had some rly weird plants

and it also had wayyyy too many plants

game didn't know what it was doung

[coarse leaf]

But one game that I always wanted to play, but I couldn't, was that PvZ shooter

[uncut citrus]

I think you could still get the « premium » 3$ plants for in game stuff and challenge but only rarely? Not sure

[nimble radish]

the leveling system was weird

[finite slate]

Not a good one trust me

[coarse leaf]

i really enjoyed PvZ2 lmao

[stark estuary]

Garden Warfare. Never played either but apparently it was bad.

[finite slate]

There are good shooter games out there if u are looking for one

[coarse leaf]

I mean, I never played so

speaking of good shooters

[coarse leaf]

Nah, I'm not into shooter games, bcz I'm not really interesed on these

halo infinite early release

[stark estuary]

Duke Nukem: Forever

[coarse leaf]

Never played Halo, so

[uncut citrus]

Oh I got it from a friend for my birthday a coupes years back, thought I never played it cause I think it was like only for ps4 or something? Either way I didn’t play it

[stark estuary]

Unironically: Metroid Prime Trilogy

[coarse leaf]

halo was my childhood

[stark estuary]

Best shooters I've ever played

[coarse leaf]

it's great and free so give it a try if u can

[trim estuary]

They look fun

Unfortunately the next ones probably going to be switch only so

[coarse leaf]

nintendo moment

[coarse leaf]

It's just funny how the Wii was like, the closest to PC for shooters

bcz of motion controlls and the pointer

[stark estuary]

I had Modern Warfare 3 on Wii

[coarse leaf]

black ops 2

[stark estuary]

I had that on Wii U

[coarse leaf]

Wait, didn't you say that you didn't own a Wii U?

[stark estuary]

when

[coarse leaf]

Oh, you didn't!

[nimble radish]

Wii are going to beat U to death

[coarse leaf]

was the wii U any good it kinda died a week after it came out

[stark estuary]

It was dead on arrival

[coarse leaf]

But tbf, Wii U could've sold better if it had a better name & more solid exclusives

it had that really weird controller thing

[coarse leaf]

like, who buys Wii U to play ZombiesU?

[stark estuary]

Lots of factors, shitty marketing, poor launch lineup, no great exclusives, gimmicky controller, was much weaker than other consoles at the time

[coarse leaf]

I only touched the Wii U once and: The gamepad was too big

[stark estuary]

All contributed to its failure

[warm bone]

pikmin 3

[stark estuary]

well that's on Switch now so

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but it had some good games time from time

Super Mario 3D World, Splatoon, Mario Maker, Rayman Legends, Mario Kart 8

[stark estuary]

mfw they port ever good Wii U game to Switch except Xenoblade X

[coarse leaf]

Mario Party 10

[stark estuary]

Rayman Legends wasn't an exclusive

[coarse leaf]

It was supposed to be an exclusive tho

But it didn't bcz of Wii U's poor launch

[stark estuary]

And none of those are "must haves", the one that probably attracted the most people was Smash 4

[coarse leaf]

I mean, most people that had a Wii U had Mario Kart 8 instead of Smash 4

[stark estuary]

Yeah but those two things are different

[warm bone]

3ds

[trim estuary]

Smash 4 was a disappointment. I expected Subspace Emissary 2: Electric Boogaloo

[coarse leaf]

Like, there was 12 million Wii U units sold and there was 8 million MK8 units sold

[fallow rock]

played garden warfare 2 and battle for neighborville ngl those were my greatest days to play games

[coarse leaf]

But 3DS had good sales compared to the Wii U

[stark estuary]

Bruh

[coarse leaf]

And it was a completely different system

[stark estuary]

Smash 4 on 3DS was basically a different game

[trim estuary]

True

[stark estuary]

Yeah I agree but that wasn't my point. It was still massively hyped.

[coarse leaf]

Btw, the Wii U was better than the 3DS considering the games that came out for these systems?

[opaque sigil]

The two aren't really comparable

[stark estuary]

3DS had an awesome library wdym

[opaque sigil]

3DS and Wii U were totally different things

That's like comparing a phone and a 3ds

[coarse leaf]

But.... dual screens

[trim estuary]

True, Wii U is closer to a phone

[opaque sigil]

With my monitor plugged in my computer has two screens, that doesn't make it a Wii U

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but idk, I just feel like the games were kinda the same at that time

[stark estuary]

3DS had a shit-ton of great non-Nintendo exclusives too, something the Wii U lacked (most notable ones being Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2)

[coarse leaf]

You know, NSMB2 and NSMBU
Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8
Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World
Mario Party 10 and- Ok, I will stop it now

[stark estuary]

Poor comparison

[coarse leaf]

I actually think that the 3DS had more iconic exclusives than what Wii U had

[opaque sigil]

wii u had no fe and is therefore bad

[coarse leaf]

like, it had more exclusives at that time

[stark estuary]

The 3DS revived Fire Emblem from death but subsequently gave us the worst game in the series

[coarse leaf]

So it's a win & lose!

[opaque sigil]

And then one of (if not the) best

[coarse leaf]

But like, I always feel like the 3DS had more first party support than what it did on the DS era

[stark estuary]

Yeah echoes was awesome, but I'm too nostalgic for RD and the GBA titles (except binding blade)

[opaque sigil]

I mean yeah, me too, but like Echoes was great

[coarse leaf]

Never played JRPGs, so

[opaque sigil]

And the qol stuff makes it hard to play the older ones

[coarse leaf]

like, I never really liked JRPGs bcz of the grinding

[stark estuary]

Yeah true

RD is also long af so not very replayable

[coarse leaf]

You know, kill enemy = more exp = more power

[opaque sigil]

And it has the longest enemy/ally phases

[stark estuary]

It's a Tactical RPG

[coarse leaf]

And then have enough exp to be able to fight the final boss

[stark estuary]

Ally phases

[opaque sigil]

I mean it was cool to have more units on the field but oh boy could it get to be a bit much

[coarse leaf]

I'm not talking about FE tho, bcz I never played it
But I already played a little of Dragon Quest & Pokémon and grinding was really boring, so I just quit JRPGs

[stark estuary]

Pokemon is a mediocre JRPG at best and bad at worst, fight me.

[opaque sigil]

Why would I, you aren't wrong

[warm bone]

pokemon is bad

[coarse leaf]

I like action, boss fights that makes you excited to fight them, not waiting for enemies to attack just bcz you need exp to continue the game

[stark estuary]

You also don't need to grind in Pokemon games cos baby difficulty

[coarse leaf]

That's why HK is the best RPG!

[stark estuary]

Never played DQ

[opaque sigil]

Dragon Quest didn't take much grinding at all

If you were grinding for that game it's because you did something wrong

[coarse leaf]

Now, now, what y'all thinks about the Party Games genre?

[warm bone]

I tried dragon's quest but I hit a wall and didnt feel like grinding so never played it again

[stark estuary]

Monopoly

[opaque sigil]

They're fine if you don't care about winning and if nobody you're playing with cares about winning

[stark estuary]

Which is never

[coarse leaf]

I mean, some people wants to win in a luck-based game with skill

if i play a party game with my mates u best believe i'm going to be extremely pissed at them by the end of it

I guess the best game to ruin friendships would probably be Mario Party, bcz it's the only game that I think when someone says RNG & BS

[stark estuary]

I'm the best Snakes and Ladders player in the world

[high hedge]

Imagine if Silksong 2 was announced and immediately followed up with, “Shoot did we not release the first one?”

[coarse leaf]

the best game to end friendships is UNO

[high hedge]

Like casually forgetting

[coarse leaf]

I mean, I never saw someone win a Mario Party match bcz they're good at the game.

[glass vigil]

I like your new profile picture Kirby dude 👍 sauce?

[opaque sigil]

Because that's not how the game works

[coarse leaf]

Exactly

[high hedge]

99% skill based
101% luck

[stark estuary]

I found it on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.at/pin/699254279620340491/

[opaque sigil]

But people don't necessarily understand or accept how the game works

[high hedge]

Especially with bonus stars, man I hate those

[coarse leaf]

imagine UNO but u take a shot every time ur plus 4'd

[coarse leaf]

200% ur mom

[coarse leaf]

I mean, Mario Party 9 technically is the game where you don't really need luck to win the match

why are there 9 mario parties

[opaque sigil]

If you're genuinely invested in winning mario party then yeah you're probably going to be pissed because ultimately it's outside of your control but the point of the game isn't to win

[high hedge]

Which one had the character dice tier list

[coarse leaf]

There are 16 games if I'm not mistaken

why are there 16 mario parties

There was 4 Mario Party games in Gamecube only

[high hedge]

You need at least 1 per console generation

[opaque sigil]

Because people keep buying them

[coarse leaf]

why are people buying 16 mario parties

[high hedge]

It’s like Jackbox

[coarse leaf]

3 on 3DS, 1 in DS, 2 on Wii, 1 on Wii U, 3 on N64, 2 on Switch and 1 on GBA

[opaque sigil]

Evidently because they want them

[coarse leaf]

quiplash is fun

[high hedge]

True

[stark estuary]

Mario Party 8 bad

[high hedge]

I like Drawful

[coarse leaf]

how many final fantasies are there at this point

[stark estuary]

15

[coarse leaf]

Ig 9 was worse

[opaque sigil]

As a game, Mario Party is bad. As a conversation starter and backdrop for interaction, not so much

[stark estuary]

Well more, but 15 numbered ones

[high hedge]

And a movie

[coarse leaf]

none of them were the final fantasy they lied to us

[stark estuary]

14 doesn't count since its an MMORPG

[opaque sigil]

It still counts

[coarse leaf]

But hey, Mario Party is a fun game if you want to play some game in a party

[coarse leaf]

like, 4 people (or 8 people) playing a wacky board game based on luck, what could go wrong?

[high hedge]

They call it Final Fantasy because once you play one it steals your soul

[coarse leaf]

oh dear

what about chess

[opaque sigil]

What about it

[coarse leaf]

that's a good game

[high hedge]

Chess is limited to 2 players

[coarse leaf]

Chess isn't really a party game though

[high hedge]

Not necessarily a party activity

[coarse leaf]

It's like playing It Takes Two in a party with 8 people

[high hedge]

That’s why Jackbox works

Silksong change lmao

[high hedge]

Why play 5D chess when I can play Fortnite monopoly

[heavy plover]

No

[coarse leaf]

Btw, what's everyone's opinions on game remakes/reboots/revivals?

5D chess is tagged as a psychological horror

[stark estuary]

FF: 1 is ok, 2 is bad, 3 ok, 4 GREAT, didn't play 5, 6 GREAT, 7 Overrated, 8 was meh, 9 was a GREAT 10 was meeeh, 11 never played, was an MMO iirc, 12 was good, 13 was 14 also never played, MMO, 15 is...fine, not great.

[high hedge]

Occasionally really fun way to rejuvenate a franchise, like with Crash

But also a lot of HD Remasters fall flat

[heavy plover]

Depending on the quality of remake (not based on a recent game at all)

[coarse leaf]

I mean, there's a difference between Remake and Remaster

[high hedge]

Yeye my mistake

[opaque sigil]

Remakes are amazing if they improve on things

One of my favorite games is a remake

[high hedge]

Hollow Knight HD

[coarse leaf]

Sonic Mania can be considered a remake?

hollow knight with the 3rd dimension

or a revival?

[high hedge]

A remake of what?

[coarse leaf]

Remake of the old levels?

[high hedge]

An homage to the good ole days

[coarse leaf]

sonic.exe

[heavy plover]

Nah, just feel like it won’t be great

[coarse leaf]

Imagine if there is a HK spin-off where you can play HK or Silksong with your friends tho

[high hedge]

Worked for Risk of Rain

[coarse leaf]

it will be great because we can experience the glorious z-axis

[coarse leaf]

Or even a totally different game

[heavy plover]

I feel like the 2D is a part of HK charm yk

Hollow Knight Monopoly

Super Hollow Bros

ye true

super smash bros makes me want to kill myself

Smash Bros is fine ig

[little spindle]

Hornet is void

[coarse leaf]

smash bros is not fine because every single person on the face of this earth is better than me at it

[high hedge]

Just main Little Mac

[coarse leaf]

Imagine if there was like, an arena mode like what they have in Spelunky 2 tho

[high hedge]

Then you can blame your losses on Little Mac

[silver oak]

Hollow Prime

[heavy plover]

SMB 3 with HK inside (Not impossible since HK is on switch)

[coarse leaf]

Like, you can select any character and you need to defeat your opponent by using the skills and power-ups of the game while avoiding dying in the arena

[stark estuary]

Out of curiosity, what is it 👀

[opaque sigil]

Echoes

[stark estuary]

Yeah same

[coarse leaf]

isn't that a pink floyd song

[stark estuary]

Echoes is great especially because Gaiden was so bad

[opaque sigil]

Echoes is great on its own merits

[coarse leaf]

I will post a picture of it for an example, just wait a sec

[stark estuary]

Yes, but it's an incredible improvement over the original

[opaque sigil]

That it is

[stark estuary]

Given what they had to work with, I think that elevates it

[coarse leaf]

Actually, I won't bcz spoilers for the game

Anyways, Silksong demake!!

i got a new notification from tc and my heart dropped lmao

[proud vale]

New merch tweet

[hollow sedge]

my heart rate skyrocketed lmao

[proud vale]

Awaken chat

[distant saddle]

bruh

[shy stirrup]

one of these days itll be real

[stark estuary]

Skill issue

[distant saddle]

my heart

[vale prism]

Almost, but it was only a new merch notification.

[opaque sigil]

Y'all are too excitable

[gusty spoke]

Twitter notification gang who almost get a heart attack seeing some activity from team cherry, rise up

[cerulean sable]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEGVGqJEeCo Silksong fans when SS is 0.01% worst than HK instead of being the masterpiece that it should be

[chilly nexus]

Oh Ehm Jeee

[chilly nexus]

us raging will never be that iconic

[opaque sigil]

If SS is legitimately worse than HK (somehow) then sure yeah I'll be upset

[cerulean sable]

i mean same, mostly because of my expectation given then have the time and the budget now

[opaque sigil]

And experience

[cerulean sable]

not in terms of the atmosphere though

yeah thats a huge factor too

[opaque sigil]

Atmosphere is a lateral move

Although I do kinda prefer Pharloom's variety

[cerulean sable]

i mean more on "its not bleak depressing and oppressive" side since theyre 2 different settings (this is ofc, in the perspective of SS so far being brighter)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCdRFMp8Xwo unless Hornet arrives in the citadel and this is what she experiences

also Godspeed You! Black Emperor is playing in this scene which is based

[uncut citrus]

Silksong fan when SS doesn’t release in 2years of development:

Also SS fan when silksong release in 2years but it’s really bad:

Moral of the story: time travel so you can have silksong in 2years but it’s good

[cerulean sable]

so true

[hollow sedge]

how long has silksong even been in development for

[molten atlas]

its been over 1000 days since it was announced

[opaque sigil]

In terms of exclusive development, three years at most

In terms of possibly meaningful development, maybe four

Not sure exactly when Jack joined

But before he did they couldn't really do much work on it, at least not that wouldn't need to be redone

The whole "they've been working on it since 2017" probably just means that in the same capacity TC is already working on the next game, in that they're accumulating ideas, not actually sinking dev time into it

[molten atlas]

it'll all be fun and games until someone from team cherry starts an unlabeled day countdown in their discord status

[hollow sedge]

3 to 4 years isnt really that long, although team cherry has a fast design philosophy

[warm bone]

do they?

[opaque sigil]

Well supposedly they work quickly, that's not quite the same

[cerulean sable]

for me my personal timeframe is of full FULL dev is 1-3 months after Godmaster\

which is around Aug-Oct 2019

[opaque sigil]

That was where I got the 3 years of exclusive development

[cerulean sable]

yee

people tends to point out the "since 2017 thing" but like

the amount of work divided into getting HK Dlcs and bugfixes kinda muddles that timeframe, they already said theyre also "working on their next game" but its more just a google doc/excel sheet of ideas

[opaque sigil]

Good take

[cerulean sable]

imo, the reveal trailer we saw is essentially a "proof of concept that were not running away with your money" theyve made from Early 2018 - Jan 2019

like i assume during GM theyre already been taping around bits of it until they got free from the burden of work of GM

[opaque sigil]

Could be, although by that point I think the proof of concept that they weren't running away with the backers' money would be, you know, HK itself

I'm not sure a proof of concept would be needed, really

[cerulean sable]

2017 to early mid 2018 - google docs, some sprites here and there, general stuff
2018 mid until early 2019 - we actually have started putting these things together which is what we see in the trailer

[opaque sigil]

Yeah that sounds about right

[hollow sedge]

so when silksong was first revealed there was less then a year of exclusive development?

[opaque sigil]

Less than six months, probably

[cerulean sable]

well its more of a reassurance that the DLC is now a game and that promised Hornet DLC is not a scam

thats just our guess ofc

[chilly nexus]

Ye i feel like they released the trailer at that time out of necessity almost

[opaque sigil]

Well it definitely can't have been more than six months

[cerulean sable]

id honestly want to hear it after they release the game

"it already looks finished" after all

[opaque sigil]

Yeah hearing about SS's development will be cool

[chilly nexus]

the "spilling into extra content already" comment they made in 2019 soon after the trailer came out though

I remember all too well, in the 10 minute version

[hollow sedge]

i honestly think that silksong will probably have DLC post-launch

[chilly nexus]

+167 enemies and ~30 tracks by dec 2019 is crazy

[proud vale]

Documentaryyyyy

[cerulean sable]

Leth already told them iirc

[opaque sigil]

I hope it doesn't

[chilly nexus]

I'd watch a TC documentary

[cerulean sable]

like "These are cool and all but wouldnt you think its better we just split some of these into DLCs"

because theyve been adding so much or something like that

im half torn, i like extra content but i also dislike bloating

[chilly nexus]

Even if it's done, splitting things into dlc could be cool to space out the game, give us reason to come back to it, and tide us over to their next thing

[cerulean sable]

yeah DLCs are pretty hype

they kinda re jumpstart the community as seen with GM and the likes

[opaque sigil]

Bloating isn't really a problem if things aren't shoved in the player's face

[hollow sedge]

i tend to come back to games once they get a major update/DLC

[cerulean sable]

yeah i prefer it when like
"oh wow i have stuff missing? didnt notice it"

[chilly nexus]

ye right? I'm a binge player, so need things like dlc for my playtime to not take place over only one week :p

[cerulean sable]

but if you press like 30 different quests in my face by the end of the game, im most likely skipping them

[opaque sigil]

Which is basically the first HK playthrough in a nutshell

[cerulean sable]

yup

[chilly nexus]

I'd love dlc that adds new story endings that encourage different playthrough routes

[opaque sigil]

I didn't encounter Nosk until like at least my third or fourth

[cerulean sable]

its a perspective thing

[chilly nexus]

but like, decently-heavily different*

[opaque sigil]

Eh, not being able to get all endings in a single save could be annoying

That would heavily depend on execution imo

[chilly nexus]

that's why you add them in a dlc later. you've been away from the game for a bit, so are fine coming back to it

[hollow sedge]

i wonder where that count is now, 30 songs is a lot, more then hollow knight i think

[chilly nexus]

+TC would execute anything pretty well, so i don't think execution of an idea is an issue (if they don't decide it's not what they want)

[chilly nexus]

(the only reason i ended up doing my full clear of steelsoul tbh was cuz i waited like a year+)

[opaque sigil]

I'd just prefer to have the whole game at launch and let TC get on with their next project

[hollow sedge]

im worried that silksong will be wayyy to bloated when it comes out

[chilly nexus]

I'm chill either way as long as TC treads the line of "seemingly attainable full-completion within reason"

[opaque sigil]

Also, are you sure that wasn't the switch release

[hollow sedge]

as long as its less then 100 hours for full completion, im chill with that

[chilly nexus]

If SS immediately strikes me as something that would take an unreasonably long time to 100+%, I prob won't go for that and just do a blind "complete as best as i can" playthrough. If they add bits with time, I'd be chill topping it up

[opaque sigil]

HK is arguably more than 100 hours for full completion

Including pantheons

And counting from the beginning of one's experience

[chilly nexus]

I did everything but p5 in ~50 hours on my blind playthrough. p5 probably adds a lot of time

[cerulean sable]

i mean in general Content Pack releases did garner attention one way or another

[chilly nexus]

steelheart was another 15h

[hollow sedge]

i think i got 112% in like 70 hours

[cerulean sable]

not that GM was the reason that spike happened in 2018

[chilly nexus]

content packs do be excuses to show up in game shows again for more press

[coarse leaf]

btw, does anyone knows what some tools do in SS or...?

[chilly nexus]

like... the honey pot? ...

[opaque sigil]

We've seen some red tools in action

[chilly nexus]

general overview is: red tools are active and consumable, likely or almost certainly combat related. Blue tools are silk-related, and yellow is misc/exploration related

[opaque sigil]

Red one's pretty much confirmed, blue/yellow is just guesswork

[hollow sedge]

one of them gotta be for passive abilities

[coarse leaf]

Glad that TC will rework on this charm/tool system, bcz it was not really balanced in HK.

[chilly nexus]

I mean, all the blue tools we've seen either have silk-motifs (weaver face, spider abdomen) or were seen affecting the silk bar (green bead) :p That, and the blue tool logo is a straight line like a spool

[opaque sigil]

Blue and yellow are both presumably passive, how those passive effects are sorted is, as of yet, not known

[chilly nexus]

silk is also super key in SS, so having its own tool category seems reasonable

then yellow for misc like the geo-magnet-flies i never used

[opaque sigil]

I didn't say I disagreed with the guesswork

[chilly nexus]

wanted to justify myself for the folks who haven't heard the logic before

just in case they took guesswork too literally

[opaque sigil]

HK charms were a last minute addition, tools will hopefully be a better system

[coarse leaf]

Yeah

[chilly nexus]

I've said it before but I want tool mastery and synergy to be a necessary skill we develop

I don't want to not be forced to learn to use the system by late game/optional challenges

[opaque sigil]

Mastery sure, idk about the game expecting synergy

[chilly nexus]

I think they mentioned somewhere that tool interplay was big and made balancing difficult

[opaque sigil]

Probably

[coarse leaf]

That actually would be great bcz people would actually use different tools to beat bosses in different ways instead of just using Strength, Shaman Stone and Quick Slash

[chilly nexus]

right? I want tools (or the red ones at least) to be like the prosthetics in sekiro

which i think they already are a bit, tbh. shell shards are like spirit emblems: you have a capacity that is depleted in unique amount per tool use, that is only refilled when you rest, and that capacity can be upgraded.

[opaque sigil]

Well, it might be upgraded

If tools don't increase in cost I could see that capacity being immutable

I think the upgraded tools will have a higher cost per use. that's how they're balanced in the absence of notches imo, use charges. Like, you might get the triple throwing pin, but keep using the single one cuz your shell shard capacity is relatively low. but when you find a few pouches that increase your capacity, it's easier to use the upgraded versions of tools. it seems like a pretty fundamental upgrade, nothing too cray cray for the system

[opaque sigil]

Sure, could be

[chilly nexus]

tbh i can see SS being a 2D sekiro-like instead of souls like :p the tools/prosthetics analogy, those special silk moves we saw likely being analgous to combat arts, so many parallels! (and i am here for it)

"You are one sussy little spider, Hornet" - leaked lace second fight dialogue

[gilded adder]

Hello Ian of the TGA cult.

[chilly nexus]

"You're the real imposter in Pharloom, Hornet"

[opaque sigil]

This is a goddamn conspiracy

[radiant wraith]

Hi Jonnymeboy the orange

[chilly nexus]

I want hornet to rip off Lace's headdress after the second fight, revealing a head v similar to hornet's own, and it''s revealed to us that Lace is hornet's half sister ||jk. i don't want that. it was just a thought ||

[gilded adder]

The wait will soon be over, Silkchads.

hear me out on this

Hollow Knight coop spinoff featuring 4 players

and they gotta go in old kingdoms to steal their stuff using drills

and one of the missions is to bust hornet out of Sealed Sibling's ending while dubstep plays in the BG and the drill breaks every 30 seconds

[radiant wraith]

Yooo, Hollow Knight soundtrack dubstep remix

[gilded adder]

I got something better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX48LxXz89s&ab_channel=D.V_Nightcore

[radiant wraith]

"Nightcore"

I haven't heard that word in years

[cerulean sable]

nightcore

[gilded adder]

It's the core of the night, Ttacco.

[radiant wraith]

When I found out daycore also exists

And yes, Hornet's theme daycore also exists

[gilded adder]

Is Daycore just slowed down versions of songs?

[radiant wraith]

I think it is

Lower and slower

[shrewd matrix]

late afternooncore is where it's so fast it doesn't even feel like music

[trim estuary]

[silver oak]

I recently found out that Nightcore was the name of an edm duo whose thing was speeding up songs

[potent plover]

Hornets/the weaver's theme in Silksong sounds a little similar to the vessel theme in Hollow knight

I assume the theme will be all throughout Silksong ( in leitmotif form )

[silver oak]

That is how
Leitmotifs work

[potent plover]

Yeah

I just want to clarify I don't mean the theme itself being used commonly ( like reflection in hollow knight )

Leitmotif doesn't mean the whole theme itself without change being used in other places, right? I don't understand music that much sorry

Is the silk meter 8 notches or 9?

[silver oak]

Uhhh
I think it's upgradable

[potent plover]

I mean at the start

[silver oak]

8

At least that's what it was in the demo

[potent plover]

I do have to say, The combat feels different

More frantic def

[proud vale]

Yeah more twitchy for sure

[silver oak]

"
It’s a decision that makes healing much more part of the flow of battle, where Bind becomes just another beat in the dance and is dictated by the player, rather than Team Cherry having your opponent obviously double over and wheeze for a bit. (“Although we do have that as well, on bosses!” Gibson laughs; we breathe a sigh of relief, as he explains its use as a method of showing players how far they are through fights, and to help tell compelling stories – players of the first game will remember one particularly heartstopping endgame boss reaction.) “It takes longer to get to the point where you can heal yourself, but you can heal yourself by more,” Pellen says. “With the idea being that you spend more time either at full health or almost dead, and the gameplay is kind of snapping between these states.” Gibson continues: “Yeah, and again, reflecting who she is as well – this character of extremes.”

[vast pecan]

Sillsong is never coming out

Change my mind

[chilly nexus]

I'll change it in 2 weeks and a day

[potent plover]

I find it funny hornet only uses her normal needle attack once in the trailer

[vast pecan]

Wait

What

[silver oak]

I often forget that we have voice channels here

[potent plover]

We have voice channels??

[silver oak]

ikr

[radiant wraith]

Useless for me

I'm of void

I've no voice

[crisp drift]

you do now

[radiant wraith]

Got me

[cerulean sable]

opinion on timing based bonuses like the parry

[west shell]

i like it, but i'm bad at it

[haughty ingot]

silksong has parry?

[potent plover]

wacky bench

Looks like the benches are gonna be more unique

[analog forge]

Weve known this for a year at this point

We got told this in edge

[cerulean sable]

well theres 2 parry

the parry is the one in HK where if you time your hit with the enemy, your sword will block theirs

the other parry is the one where hornet blocks with her needle, and if she gets hit during it she counters back with a stab

[haughty ingot]

oh in the trailer?

[tight linden]

Hella gamers

[haughty ingot]

i could see it being sorta useful against bosses, depending on how much time it takes to activate it

[tight linden]

Parry????? CITADEL KNIGHT BABY

[cerulean sable]

but im talking about adding more timing based mechanics

like slashing just AFTER an enemy attacks does additional damage against them

[tight linden]

That would be neat

[haughty ingot]

also heya phrax

[tight linden]

I’m so used to p5 thst when I’m fighting bosses in base game I block a lot of attacks with hitting at the same time as them

Heya Ara

[haughty ingot]

in hk i don’t trust myself enough to time parries right

except maybe on pv

[cerulean sable]

kinda like how Dark Souls 3 has piercing weapons like spears have a counter thrust mechanic, where doing an attack just as the enemy is FINISHING THEIR ATTACK ANIMATION, will increase damage

which make sense for spears in DS3 because you can poke them while behind a shield

[tight linden]

Yeah

Sort of like how in real life when I punch someone right after a swing it seems more effective

I can’t believe I only drew two arts of citadel Knight

Ched

[cerulean sable]

I appreciate how you ticked the implicit box next to TGA to signify your choice of it being where we next get news 👍

certain bosses can then Mikiri counter you

[haughty ingot]

who

what is mikiri

[proud vale]

Replied to the wrong message oops

It’s an ability from Sekiro

[chilly nexus]

Herrah is gonna appear in SS and mikiri counter hornet in a tragic bossfight where she's being controlled by the puppeteer

[proud vale]

That would actually be insane and also chilling at the same time

Then we don’t know that we know but we don’t know

[radiant wraith]

We know the release date actually, it's TBA

It releases the TBA

[analog lily]

That isn’t really a date but just saying that we don’t know

[brittle garnet]

damn TTacco has more messages in this server than the amount of times "Silksong" was said

[radiant wraith]

We don't say Silksong a lot here

[uncut citrus]

maybe add SS to Silksong

[proud vale]

They're a legend

[brittle garnet]

if you count SS too, then he doesn't. But he has more than either individually.

[sinful flare]

hollow knight 😈

[uncut citrus]

wait quick math time

[analog lily]

SS was probably said more than silksong
So would SS alone be more than his messages?

[uncut citrus]

no its said less

like 99k or smth

[brittle garnet]

yeah SS was said 97K, Silksong 148K times

[sinful flare]

omg steel soul was said more than silson

[brittle garnet]

Taco has 178K messages

you mean sealed siblings

[restive condor]

I think 'the' reigns supreme

[analog lily]

I don’t think anyone can beat “a” with 2.7 million uses

[opaque sigil]

"the"

[uncut citrus]

the day i got money ill do a something when the first one who find the word between diffrent amount would win a nitro or smth it seems alot of fun

[pallid flare]

the has more than "a"

[analog lily]

Wow,
I guess no one can beat “the”

[radiant wraith]

Step up your game TTaco

You need to beat "the"

[analog lily]

Also we should probably stop using “the” so it is easier for TTaco to catch up

[sinful flare]

taco you should spam in the mods channel
FUCK

Talking about some kind of cowstorm

[uncut citrus]

average day in #sk-discussion

[sinful flare]

omg true

[uncut citrus]

cowstorm are pretty common here

[proud vale]

did you say crowsworn

[sinful flare]

no we said cowstorm

[bleak scarab]

forget silksong, forget zoteboat where is Hollow Knight: CowStorm?

[wanton crest]

Explore a vast Land, haunted by powerful beings in Hollow Knight: Cowstorm

[uncut citrus]

a cow would be a really hard hk boss tho

[sinful flare]

a cow would be colossal unless the scale of hk is human sized

[uncut citrus]

lets not talk about human size hk

[nimble radish]

they're definitely human sized

[wanton crest]

I mean Last time i saw they were bigger than me

The cows not the bugs

[hushed wasp]

A cow would be like 70x bigger then the entirety of hallowenst

[uncut citrus]

i think #sk-discussion got enough of this by now but if you want you can check #hk-meme rn

[silver oak]

I think you're underestimating the size of both bugs and Hallownest

[uncut citrus]

yeah PK's wyrm body is already way longer than a human

a wyrm could porobably strangle you boa style in your sleep, gn yall

[silver oak]

goodknight

[uncut citrus]

(im not actually going to sleep i was telling you gn)

[silver oak]

I just woke up tho

[uncut citrus]

ok but when you go to bed, dont forgot a wyrm could kill you during your sleep

[hushed wasp]

you understand its on a bug scale

the wyrm body would be the size of a rainworm for us

[brittle garnet]

but it isnt!

or, we don't know if it is

[hushed wasp]

are yall kidding or just stupid

[brittle garnet]

no, it is not stated what scale the HK world is compared to ours

[hushed wasp]

k, im out

[brittle garnet]

lmao

[nimble radish]

are you?

[pallid flare]

both???

[elfin swift]

hornet is 6' tall, 6'11 if you factor in the horns

[normal hinge]

is that tall

[pallid flare]

bumbers

[elfin swift]

what bumber do you think the silksong release date will be. at least four bumbers right

[normal hinge]

you're a bumber

[elfin swift]

arent we all

[nimble radish]

also, if we assume knight is as big as say, an ant
that puts pk about the size of smaller snake

[normal hinge]

no

[radiant wraith]

I'm bumber (:

[nimble radish]

bubmle bee

[elfin swift]

dude bubmle bees in silksong can you imagine

[radiant wraith]

Imagine bees in a Hollow Knight game

[uncut citrus]

dude literally if TK would be 3cm tall the wyrm's body would be longer than you

[elfin swift]

but thats all irrelevant anyway because we know hornet is 6' tall

[nimble radish]

hollow knight is one a human scale, proof? dead cells

[nimble radish]

six what, shaws

[uncut citrus]

yes but im saying that even if they are bug sized a wyrm doesnt need foresight and soul manipulation to kill you

[warm bone]

Hmm bug fables is on sale

[elfin swift]

six feet or 182.8 cm

[radiant wraith]

I always wondered why characters with horns like Hornet don't use them to stab people

[warm bone]

What if dead cells is a small guy

[nimble radish]

hornet's horns are on the back of her head, inconvenient for stabbing

[radiant wraith]

Hmmm

[normal hinge]

minotaur style

hah short

[uncut citrus]

also even if the few bugs obviously taken from real life are the same size as real life bugs, the wyrm's body is way bigger than the size of a normal worm, like the ones at the flukes

[elfin swift]

throws a football through the space between her horns and yells goaaaaaaaaaaaa— before being stabbed to death

[radiant wraith]

Hornet wouldn't hurt a fly

[elfin swift]

hornet literally kills people for her day job

[normal hinge]

she'd hurt a flea

[elfin swift]

she tries to murderize the knight like twice

[radiant wraith]

Well, she did try to kill Quirrel I think

[sacred stratus]

finally after working for 7 hours I finally handed my HW

hornet is kinda like a hunter? like she kills ppls

[uncut citrus]

most of them are probably already dead infected but still im sure she killed a few tiso style ppls

[normal hinge]

what was your hw anyways

[uncut citrus]

what if hornet is actually the one that killed tiso

[opaque sigil]

Probably a mess since HK wouldn't be built to accommodate the sorts of things in SS

did mossbag really just upload two videos at once

How would I know

[normal token]

Yes he did

[potent plover]

mossbag doing dead cells and Metroid lore now??

now this is content

That's a single movie

[normal token]

Yes it is

[ocean mulch]

There also seems to be some FOB-like areas in deep docks

[vestal wagon]

They better have a saw cleaver im crowsworn

[sinful flare]

are you cowstorm

[trim estuary]

Hornet has a moving huzzsaw tool

[potent plover]

Do you guys think if the citadel is called "The citadel" We would call it TC?

[sinful flare]

yeah i would call it tc

[trim estuary]

Yeah

[potent plover]

Because it normally stands for Team Cherry

[vestal wagon]

Since a TC developer is supporting it and it has similar aesthetic, Crowsworn is the BB to Hollow Knight's DS.

[sinful flare]

the citadel is my favorite company that makes games

[ornate beacon]

C.

[ocean mulch]

And SS stands for like twenty things

yea,A few animated scenes in Hollow Knight were very fluid and I loved it. I hope there will be more animated scenes on silksong.

[sinful flare]

i'm part of the steel soul tga cult

HOW DARE YOU?

[potent plover]

What did I do?

[ornate beacon]

I read that before you deleted it.

[sinful flare]

y-y-y-y-y-your- nickn-

anyways what is the achievement that you get after defeating moss mother

ok thanks

[ornate beacon]

"Disappointment."

[potent plover]

When Silksong finally releases and I get it, I might take a tiny peek in the achievements section

[sinful flare]

tiny peek sure

[vivid belfry]

I'm getting it on switch first so i won't even have that option

Don't trust myself with the steam UI

[potent plover]

I originally thought silksong would be Really hard but I played the 8-bit demake and Healing actually changes it a ton

[sinful flare]

i mean yeah steam ui gives you the next achievement you're going for (at least it assumes)

[potent plover]

Wait it does?

[sinful flare]

well at least in steam ingame hud where you see online friends and guides and shit

[potent plover]

ohh that UI?

[sinful flare]

knightyes

[potent plover]

So anyways it seems like silksong will have a lot more benches and closer together

[sinful flare]

yeah a lot more unique benches

[lusty rivet]

Hi! What do y’all think of the supposed Nvidia Silksong release date?

[pallid flare]

not true

[sinful flare]

WRONG
WE MUST LOOK FOR SS IN SPACE AGAIN

[ornate beacon]

Huh?

[vale prism]

Some things leaked there ended up being real, so with Silksong, well, idk.

I have the database of the GFN leak downloaded, but in the version that I have the release dates were already removed.

Silksong releases on null

[pallid flare]

thats soon right

[ornate beacon]

yes

[pallid flare]

thank god

[sinful flare]

OOOOOMGGGGGG

🤩

[grim forge]

I believe

[vale prism]

I believe too, some things leaked there ended up being true, so I'll have faith 🙏

[summer kindle]

foolish

[viral pivot]

personally i think its like the previous steam leak release date in that its a placeholder they aimed for, but eh

[vale prism]

Keywords: "Difficult"

[sinful flare]

Yeah like as if hk was difficult duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Can you just post the whole json of silksong)

[vale prism]

I think it appears twice on the file

I'll double check

[trim estuary]

Isn’t there only one person with the February 1st file

[vale prism]

No idea, in my version the release dates were already removed.

[pallid flare]

there's a small amount of them

[trim estuary]

that’s pretty sus

[vale prism]

There's one thing in here called "cms", that you can use in GFN to launch games directly

[vale prism]

For instance, with the cmsID, if you have GFN installed, doing this command on "Run" (Windows + R) should directly launch Hollow Knight on GeForce NOW
"%userprofile%\AppData\Local\NVIDIA Corporation\GeForceNOW\CEF\GeForceNOWStreamer.exe" --url-route="#?cmsId=100055211&launchSource=External&shortName=&parentGameId="

cmsID=100055211, 100055211 it's the cmsID of Hollow Knight

[pallid flare]

ok

[vale prism]

Come on, someone say "who asked?", I know you want to say it.

[scenic coral]

Who asked

[vale prism]

Thank you ^^

[sinful flare]

[hushed wasp]

my name is bird

[vale prism]

Playing rn on GFN, for real.

[trim estuary]

Why is this emoji not called horneat

[jovial sand]

Due to Temporary lack of humour when created

[wanton crest]

is Silksong gonna contain at least one f-bomb

asking the real questions

[pallid flare]

i sure hope

[ornate beacon]

Fucc.

[pallid flare]

I fucking love #sk-discussion

[ornate beacon]

Omogus refernc?

[sinful flare]

Kmogus frhrfjc

Im going insna

[ornate beacon]

Insna moment.

[steep basin]

I hope the tools are more useful than charms

[jovial sand]

They seem to be like upgrades right?

[formal karma]

i mean charms were pretty useful

[radiant wraith]

Will Silksong have rap battles?

[formal karma]

yes- provided the community makes them

[sinful flare]

Will silksong be a five nights funkin copy

[steep basin]

A lot of the charms were things that I never used.

[formal karma]

well that's you. however, many were underwhelming

i can only assume that there's an awful lot of fine tuning going on to make things useful

[steep basin]

Stalwart, Steady Body, Thorns, Glowing Womb, etc.

[radiant wraith]

"Yeah, Shaw, I'm half higher being and you are just a filthy cringer" -Hornet vs Lace rap battle

[lament lotus]

attacks hornet anyways

[steep basin]

I do think there's going to be a silk-based build

With crests that support silk attacks

[formal karma]

silks seem equipable so there may be less on-the-fly varriance, but yea, likely

[glossy gazelle]

Btw what is Hollow Knight rated?

[steep basin]

We've seen several silk based abilities which consume silk

[radiant wraith]

I'm positive Silksong is actually just a FNF mod

[lament lotus]

no pls no

fanbase will plummet

[steep basin]

There's a needle throw attack, the circle of silk that she uses in her boss battle, Silk Spear which is a forward lunge which cuts web barriers.

[viral pivot]

XD Hi tess!

[coarse leaf]

Hello!

[modest rain]

silksong omg new game no way CONFIRMWED!!!1'

[sacred stratus]

what is life? just a miserable pile of shitty youtube vids

[burnt topaz]

youtube ads

[lament lotus]

what is a person if not a pile of shitty youtube vids?

[livid oracle]

We have new leaked information. Silksong is... a game

[opaque sigil]

Silksong ain't a game it's a lifestyle.
One where you spend several days straight playing it and neglecting all responsibilities.

[warm bone]

Have you guys noticed YouTube upping the ad number and time

[opaque sigil]

[burnt topaz]

they thought that by doing it slowly they could trap us in this ad nightmare, like a frog in a boiling pot, but they didnt account for how impatient everyone is

[opaque sigil]

I mean you can still skip them so who really cares

[burnt topaz]

what about the unskippable ones

[opaque sigil]

Those are also the short ones

[burnt topaz]

my time is precious though

[opaque sigil]

I would posit that if you have the time to talk in this discord and watch youtube videos your time probably isn't so precious that you can't spare like 15 seconds from time to time

[hollow sedge]

just use a ad blocker

[viral pivot]

yeah but sometimes it joins 2 unskippable 15 second ads so it wastes about 30 seconds

[burnt topaz]

in that time, you couldve sent 3 messages in this chat

[pallid flare]

no

[opaque sigil]

Youtube doesn't directly control the length of ads anyways

[serene chasm]

imagine not using adblock on youtube

[viral pivot]

i got adblock on my laptop, but not on my dying ipad

[warm bone]

Phone

[tall hinge]

youtube vanced

[warm bone]

[tall hinge]

Maybe we need to offer TC a sacrifice

Not it

[opaque sigil]

I nominate kirb

Not that I think a sacrifice would work, I’m just tired of the black wyrm stuff

[sinful flare]

im still betting that we might be able to find silksong in space

[stark estuary]

Sure, sacrifice me if you want SS to actually never come out

[opaque sigil]

[sinful flare]

omg yes

[stark estuary]

In any case my life was temporary, fated to return to the great one. All you will do is accelerate Blackwyrm’s resurrection. I would become a martyr.

[opaque sigil]

[analog quarry]

hey everybody. ive been so caught up in crying in the corner and resenting my creator for making me the way that i am, that i totally forgot to see whats new with SS. im going to assume nothing?

[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.

[opaque sigil]

?sspsa

Any info you have missed will be in those places

[stark estuary]

Also, Tammo, I no longer think Blackwyrm is Lord Fool. For one simple reason. Lord Fool is not a Black Wyrm, however, he is a Wyrm, so I will call him “Redwyrm” (the true Blackwyrm, who gave rise to the Abyss, is more likely to have been the original Shade Lord, later reincarnated into The Hunter).

[sinful flare]

steel soul psa

[opaque sigil]

Imma punch you, Kirb. Don’t know how, don’t know when, but I will make it happen

[coarse leaf]

the blackwyrm is obviously the shade cloak statue in the abyss

[opaque sigil]

🤛

[stark estuary]

Sharky that’s just wrong

You can’t just make a claim and give absolutely no evidence to back it up

[pallid flare]

it's me

[coarse leaf]

i gave plenty of evidence

[pallid flare]

i'm the blackwyrm

[stark estuary]

No you’re not
