as long as they save loadouts for each crest, i don't mind the scroll

nimble radish
#

I like the piss jug

opaque sigil
#

Mine is the "Kirb annihilator"

native ivy
#

yeah but you only can have 1 crest at once

#

like you pick the crest then pick the tools is what i mean

opaque sigil
#

But that would kinda rob you of the visual of putting tools in the crest

native ivy
#

no i mean u still do that but the crest is chosen on another page so you see one at a time on the tool page

opaque sigil
#

Oh like one color of tool?

native ivy
#

no?

#

one crest at a time

stark estuary
opaque sigil
#

You only see one at a time on the tool page

coarse leaf
native ivy
#

idk anymore i just want to play silksong

opaque sigil
#

Crest selection page is probably opened from the tool page

native ivy
#

yeah that makes sense

#

so it kinda works like i said it should anyway

opaque sigil
#

ig they could probably move the crest left a bit and at least make the rows of tools one bigger

#

And you might be able to select a slot to auto-scroll to that color of tool

potent plover
#

So its tool talk again?

stark estuary
#

Oh yeah, this reminds me. You know there's an upgrade for the Lifeblood Syringe that's obtained when you defeat the optional boss "Lifeblood Beast".

opaque sigil
#

Yes

#

sunnofa

nimble radish
#

they could make the crests smaller

coarse leaf
#

or remove the icon in the description and have it below the tools menu

nimble radish
#

no we're actually talking about tools

stark estuary
#

It is?

opaque sigil
nimble radish
#

also are you against the TGA cult or are you in a cult against the TGA

#

the TGA pepegamaster

opaque sigil
#

Anti-TGA Cult, not Anti-TGA-Cult

stark estuary
#

I'll make a cult against the TGA now if anyone is interested in joining

#

We can call it

opaque sigil
#

So Bamaxdaws is in a cult against TGA

native ivy
#

stop starting cults

nimble radish
nimble radish
stark estuary
opaque sigil
native ivy
#

im starting anti-cult cult

nimble radish
#

anyone want to be in my cult, we just discuss silksong and offtopic stuff calmly and ignore release/news

opaque sigil
#

Only good cult

stark estuary
#

Or if you'd prefer, we can call it "Lord Fool's Errand"

opaque sigil
#

ok that's actually not a bad pun

#

Credit where credit is due

stark estuary
#

..At last a true challenger...
...Honour from one of its kind...
This one shows promise...

opaque sigil
#

Why the mantis lord dnd tho

stark estuary
#

Ok so basically

opaque sigil
#

oh no

nimble radish
opaque sigil
native ivy
#

to begin with,

#

my first point is

stark estuary
#

The Mantis Lord DND is relevant here because it's synonymous with the phrase "Credit where credit is due". You see, the MLs actually fought in the colosseum long ago, but were soundly defeated by Hunter, the champion of Lord Fool. When Hunter was about to strike down the Mantises, Lord Fool asked him to stop, in recognition of the MLs' honour. In exchange, he gave them a gift of his blood (Void), mutating their bodies, which is why they look like THK.

native ivy

proof?

Lemm literally tells you this when you go to Godhome

native ivy
#

wtf

opaque sigil
#

(It's a joke)

native ivy
#

yeah i see that now

stark estuary
#

I don't do jokes

opaque sigil
#

stg Kirb pissed off some witch or something who cursed him such that nobody can tell when he's joking maggotprime

olive bobcat
#

It's true guys I heard about it in #hk-lore

nimble radish
#

necro you can't mysuncursor that you're in the TGA cult

silver oak
#

In a perfect world we would all be one cult

#

But alas

pallid flare
#

i think i got dragged into the tga cult

#

don't know how that happened

silver oak
#

You do what you have to to get into DSN

stark estuary
#

I'm already part of a cult.

nimble radish
#

yo curly

silver oak
#

You can’t just summon curly like that

pallid flare
#

curly was here

opaque sigil
#

Curly was typing

silver oak
#

Oh I missed that

stark estuary
#

Ok, serious now. Does anyone have any good Silksong theories? If not, that's okay, I can share a few of mine.

nimble radish

Dammit.

#

Hi everyone

stark estuary
pallid flare
#

hello curly

serene chasm
#

People who hope SS will show up ath game awarda

#

Hey Pyro

opaque sigil
#

He seems to be enhanced in a manner similar to infected bugs and a hypothetical HB with similar abilities to Rad insofar as influencing others could theoretically provide those benefits without subverting their free will so like maybe that's what happened to Seth

stark estuary
#

Oh, yeah I agree with that. "The Voice" is presumably a HB with dream-related abilities.

marsh ibex
#

nope

stark estuary
#

ok nerd

marsh ibex
#

wrong

opaque sigil
#

nope
refuses to elaborate

stark estuary
#

Ok but who asked

marsh ibex
#

you just did

nimble radish
#

joker is the chad

serene chasm
#

Dreams like won't be a major plot point in SS. The moths seemed to be the only ones who controlled it Nd they're all gone

opaque sigil
#

Not a major plot point

stark estuary
#

The expanse of dream isn't limited to Hallownest

#

And Moths don't really control it, nobody does

nimble radish
#

they do control dreams

#

they don't control all dreams at once but they definitely control dreams

opaque sigil
#

Well they can manipulate essence

stark estuary
opaque sigil
#

Moths don't have total control over dreams or whatever, but they can use them

stark estuary
#

So can every known HB aside from VGF and maybe WL

native ivy
#

vgf wtf

stark estuary
#

Void Given [Form/Focus]

opaque sigil
#

Anyways, I just think Seth being affected through dreams would be a cool way to tie in our understanding of how dreams can be used to do things like that as a callback to HK

#

ofc they don't need to explain it in detail

stark estuary
#

Yeah, it'd be pretty cool ngl

serene chasm
#

No. I need at least 4 pages of explanation for every aspect of the lore

stark estuary
#

On the topic of dreams, what do you think the vector is for "The Haunting". That's also presumably caused by a HB.

opaque sigil
#

Like Seth could just have some offhand comment about hearing the voice in his dreams. Innocuous enough imo that new players don't feel like they're missing out

opaque sigil
#

She calls the haunted bugs "wound up"

nimble radish
#

the silk is all tangled on their insides like when you swallow gum

tall hinge
#

yooooo

opaque sigil
#

That's not a pleasant image

stark estuary
#

Yeah that's my initial impression too, but it may also be like the infection where it manifests physically but is transmitted through Dreams. Although that'd be a tad unoriginal so I doubt it.

slow heart
#

Hollow Knight was dreams of the past. Silksong will be dreams of the future.

tall hinge

pallid flare
stark estuary
#

Wouldn't it be neat if the haunting was "Soul-based"

opaque sigil
#

imo it probably is

#

Since Silk can be infused with Soul

stark estuary
#

Would link in with the idea of Soul producing sounds, hence Silksong, and Hornet's own silk.

#

Ok crackpot theory time

#

The reason Hornet was brought to Pharloom is because she possesses the "Soul of Wyrm" and whatever's causing the haunting requires a powerful catalyst in order to fully awaken.

nimble radish
#

she's like a weaver+

still elm
#

Soul is based

stark estuary
#

The Haunting is caused by a parasitic HB which feeds off other HBs' Soul, but it had to settle for Hornet.

nimble radish
stark estuary
#

Which is why the cultists went to such great lengths in order to obtain her

jade canopy
stark estuary
#

I was half-joking, TC probably wouldn't include a reference to PK like that anyway.

What would be a cool idea for a weapon Hornet could use?

A big hammer

That’s actually a good idea

So is pharloom the Carnival Uprising?

proud vale

I got no idea what Pharloom is or how the authority structure looks there

uncut citrus

I don’t think hornet is much big hammer style

#

She’s more like mobile quick needle slash type

cedar sedge

Any hints about silksong at tga?

uncut citrus

A tool like that would work tho ig, but I don’t think she’ll be able to like, change weapons, or at least change to something else than a needle type weapon

uncut citrus
marsh mist

is silksong real

bronze monolith

Yes.

worthy bridge

Hornet's upgrades could be turning her needle into a sewing machine

yeah she's void but whatever

I AM NOT A CLOWN!!!

What I say is truth no matter how many people doubt.

marsh ibex

Wait

#

Simo is a playtester and clowned you for expecting news at TGA

serene chasm
#

obviously a red herring

gilded adder
#

yeeshaw everyone

serene chasm
#

hey jonny

torpid nymph
#

Wait actually maybe Simo doesn't know if it will be there

coarse leaf

he'd know if the game was about to release though

torpid nymph
#

True

#

He could be trolling or he could be genuine

cerulean sable
#

in about 2 weeks we will release our ultimatum

#

give us silksong or give us death

untold inlet
#

y'all simo probably has an nda, i doubt he can actually give serious hints

opaque sigil
#

He can't

hollow sedge
#

even if theres no ss news at TGA, theres no way we wont get news in December

#

right? mylaU

serene chasm
radiant wraith
coarse leaf
#

No way... I'm also a clown!

trim estuary
#

Same, what a coincidence!

cerulean sable
#

our end goal is the same regardless

#

get silksong shit in December

trim estuary
#

skill issue?

coarse leaf
native ivy
#

why do we expect silksong news at every gaming event

grim forge
#

Because people want Silksong and it's a chance

native ivy
#

we have no reason to expect news tho

grim forge
#

Exactly

#

Which is why people believe in every event

cerulean sable
#

this is a bug be snaxxed world

heady jolt
#

its a large event

#

nintendo directs are tiny

opaque sigil
#

Not really, and they're actually catered to TC's audience

heady jolt
#

well yeah but their for small indie games and stuff nintendo makes mainly

#

silksong isnt made by nintendo nor a small indie game

silver oak
# cerulean sable this is a bug be snaxxed world

This is a reference to Bugsnax (2020), an adventure video game developed by independent game studio Young Horses where players explore a mysterious island and attempt to find and capture the eponymous half-bug-half-snack creatures.

heady jolt
#

obviously we could have e3 again but hk is at a point where its very popular

opaque sigil
#

SS would be a reasonable fit for a direct

silver oak
#

Like a normal direct or an indie one

opaque sigil
#

The fact that it isn't obscure or a first party game doesn't mean it wouldn't be

opaque sigil
silver oak
#

I think Nintendo tries really hard to keep a balance of big games and smaller titles in their directs

opaque sigil
#

And?

heady jolt
#

silksong isnt affiliated with nintendo

opaque sigil
#

It's a switch game

heady jolt
#

that decreases it chance a lot

opaque sigil
#

Nintendo has featured it in the past

#

Nintendo did a shadow drop for HK at E3

silver oak
#

They're literally partnered with them
The demo was featured in a Nintendo treehouse event, that's the footage most people look at when discussing the demo

heady jolt
#

anyways directs have already been proven not to have silksong

opaque sigil
#

They have not had it yet

heady jolt
#

tga is unproven to not have silksong

opaque sigil
#

TGA is equally proven not to have it, since it never has

silver oak
#

If you're being serious that's horrible logic

opaque sigil
#

It's not logic

silver oak
#

If anything directs are more likely to have silksong based solely on empirical data

heady jolt
#

well its also been almost a year since last news

opaque sigil
#

Doesn't support your point

heady jolt
#

so it could honestly have news at any event now

opaque sigil
#

That does not follow

silver oak
#

That was true the day after EDGE as well

opaque sigil
#

Almost a year since last news does not imply any event can have news any moreso than any event otherwise could

heady jolt
#

even if no event tho i do think we are close to atleast something

opaque sigil
#

Maybe, maybe not

heady jolt
#

I'd be fine with a few new screenshots to analyze

silver oak
#

Anyway, hoping for news at TGA, bye

heady jolt
#

same

silver oak
#

I'm not actually leaving

#

My contract forces me to promote TGA now

#

That was a main point in the contract I signed with Ara

opaque sigil
#

If there's a contract like that I hope never to be host for DSN

also does elden ring daily news still exist since release date was announced

silver oak
misty whale
opaque sigil
#

tamershrug From the demo footage it looked great

#

I didn't get the sense that the controls were a problem

misty whale
#

I guess it's just me then

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

silver oak
#

I do think Hornet may take a bit longer to get used to than The Knight

#

She's definitely flowier and probably more slippery

#

Which honestly makes sense in a character way if you think about it

steep basin
#

I also hope that there will be a way to replenish tool durability without having to sit at a bench.

misty whale
#

I doubt it, but I think benches will be more common

silver oak
#

Hornet is probably more willful, more acrobatic than the knight

silver oak
#

Plus she's not a blank slate, she can't be controlled as easily

opaque sigil
little mesa
#

Hornet will, most likely, be able to disrupt the natural balance of the universe with one swipe of her needle.

#

The game is 40 minutes of cutscenes, 10 minutes of gameplay, and as soon as you swing your nail another 30 hours of cutscenes trigger

i think probably the most convincing thing is that TC wants it to release in feb purely to have the trifecta February announcement/release

February is a gaming bloodbath

cerulean sable

i feel bad for all those AAA competing against Silksong

#

H:I was apparently good though a bit rocky

I mean Halo infinite is a good game outside of monitization/progression stuff

cerulean sable

unlike the shitstorms that happened 2042 and the backlash of how bland Vanguard was

ive seen gameplay footage with vanguard and jesus christ everyone runs like theyre on meth

yeah thats the issue with H:I from what ive heard

I mean silksong probably has enough hype to do well regardless of release window, but yeah February is massive Jesus

steady grove
#

is ss before or after hk

fast badge
#

I don't actually think there's a definitive answer thus far

steady grove

im pretty sure its after but i also have reason to believe its before

either way i hope they somehow incorporate grimm

honestly what if they dont release anything this year

and they get the intended effect where people now wont expect shit at all

I'm disappointed in you too

#

For discrediting my theories and generally not taking me seriously

stark estuary
#

"sure" is a strong word

#

Anyway, why do you think Hornet was brought to Pharloom.

nimble radish
#

because she's similar to the weavers and they want weavers

#

what they want weavers for,
uhhh silk shit

opaque sigil
#

Maybe but they already have some of those. imo there could be something special about Hornet

nimble radish
#

and that's why citadel people use silk spells

stark estuary
#

They must have gone to considerable lengths in order to capture Hornet specifically.

nimble radish

stark estuary
#

My crackpot theory is that the HB causing The Haunting is a parasitic one which feeds on the "Soul" of weakened/dying HBs, but none were available, so the cultists captured Hornet. Hornet, who possesses the "Soul of Wyrm" will be used as a sacrifice, enabling said HB to "fully awaken".

#

This theory is derived from my earlier theory, "Hornet will be used to revive PK".

opaque sigil
#

Maybe, but the issue with Hornet being too vital is that the cult seems to want to kill her now

stark estuary
#

Maybe they don't need her alive

nimble radish
#

they wanted her alive originally

opaque sigil
#

Would've been much easier to kill her earlier and bring her corpse

stark estuary
#

It's probably preferable to have her alive, in order to get the most out of her.

#

ie they keep her alive, have her produce a ton of high-quality silk, then sacrifice her.

opaque sigil
#

Fair

balmy pasture
#

what is HB

stark estuary
#

Higer Beng

opaque sigil
#

Basically, a deity

brittle garnet
#

Well, I think they wanted to use her for something, but now that she's free she might be able to do something that goes against their goals or even ruins their plan completely.

#

So it's safer to kill her.

opaque sigil
#

Yeah that was my interpretation as well. Best to have her alive, but she could do way more damage if she's left free

stark estuary
#

Yeah

#

Although if we relate this to my theory, from the cultists' perspective, it's better to kill and sacrifice her immediately than risk her doing damage in the hopes of re-capturing her and using her to make more silk.

brittle garnet
#

I don't think they need Hornet just because they need silk, more likely that they might need her silk because of its special properties or because of her wyrm heritage.

stark estuary
#

Could be both.

brittle garnet
#

Well, I think those 2 are related, but one is not necessarily the other.

opaque sigil
#

idk why they would care about her wyrm heritage itself

stark estuary
#

I do agree that her Wyrm heritage is the most important factor here, though.

#

Not the Wyrm heritage itself

opaque sigil
#

Yeah, the results of it

brittle garnet
#

Well, perhaps it gives her some powers that we aren't aware of.

cerulean sable
#

ok what if

#

this is just a theory

nimble radish
#

a game theory

cerulean sable
#

Hornet is super important that they need her alive

#

but at the same time now that shes lose

#

shes more of a threat that needs to be destroyed as it outweighs the pros of capturing her at this point

opaque sigil
#

They don't need her alive, they want her alive

brittle garnet
#

We just said that Taco zote

cerulean sable
#

well i didnt read

#

also blocked

#

and ratiod

stark estuary
opaque sigil
brittle garnet
#

Also, I think that when Hornet gets "killed" by the cultists in-game, in-universe she might be getting recaptured.

opaque sigil
#

That's possible, I suppose, but it's not like they aren't at least ostensibly attacking to kill

nimble radish
#

well we haven't seen her death animation to the cultists yet feelspkman

stark estuary
#

I doubt that'll have a unique death animation

cerulean sable
#

new animation where they pile up on top of her like a mountain

If you get killed by the cultists you lose the entire save, bad end shermaU

also thinking about it, whats your opinion on random events

like HK is usually just triggers ofc, you reach a certain point and it changes this (ie infected crossroads)

what about stuff happening that doesnt impact your progression too much but you can randomly encounter in your playthrough

#

oh and emergent storytelling too i guess

brittle garnet

didn't Edge say that, for example, enemies can be carrying ingredients/items randomly?

cerulean sable
#

did it?

brittle garnet
#

yeah

cerulean sable

i honestly forgot most of the fine details

i assumed the ingredients worked the same way as random % drops to craft something

It said that the [beetles of some kind? probably MG enemies] can be seen clutching Mossberries in their mandibles, sometimes.

Seems like it might follow HK's logic wrt ability recharging, ie you have to bounce on an enemy/obstacle to recharge dash and similar abilities
