Epic Games doesn't do regional pricing I think. There's no way you'd buy anything on the Epic Games store this way

[half slate]

Nah, it's all on dollars.

[sage glade]

same. the thing we paid in was our soul probably

[radiant wraith]

I'll take free stuff from them anytime, I will never ever buy anything there

[half slate]

WHICH.... Makes like 5 dollar games cost like 650 pesos.

[opaque sigil]

650 whats

ok yeah that's bs

Way more expensive than it should be

[sage glade]

anyone know how high ss went in the top wishlist ranking in steam?

[half slate]

A dollar is 100 pesos and then you have to pay an extra 30% price fee

[shell yacht]

15 i think was the highest i saw

[opaque sigil]

I think it was third at some point, it's fourth now

[sage glade]

wdym, it's at 4th rn

[shell yacht]

bro

[radiant wraith]

Wouldn't you say it's more like 175 or 200?

[shell yacht]

yo i dont use steam
i only see these rankings when yall post them

[radiant wraith]

175 is what a normal person would buy for in a bank

[half slate]

I mean, without the fee.... Then if you add the fee and other type dollars yeah.

[sage glade]

what even is this, why is it 3rd

[opaque sigil]

[stark estuary]

It's Party Animals. Can't you read?

[radiant wraith]

I'm more hyped for Party Animals than for Silksong to be honest

Like, it's Party Animals

[analog forge]

party animals is the great mystery of the steam wishlists

[half slate]

I don't think this is the place to discuss Party Animals

[analog forge]

what is it? where did it come from? who is responsible for it?

noone knows

[sage glade]

i feel enlightened

[stark estuary]

Party Animals is a multiplayer physics-based brawler/party game developed by Recreate Games and published by Source Technology. The game is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows at an unannounced date. A demo version of the game was available as a free trial from June 16, …

[half slate]

So.... Fall Guys 2?

[analog forge]

you cant fool me, those arent real names

like come on "source tech"? "recreate"?

[sage glade]

it's like a mix between fall guys and gang beasts

[shell yacht]

eldinring might fall off soon since its out i guess
wtf is party animal and whys it do high

[half slate]

I'll never understand those games, I have no friends.

Chad Singleplayer games enjoyer.

That's the most abrasive thing I've seen today, congrats

[stark estuary]

And it's not even the most abrasive thing I've ever posted!

[sage glade]

abrasus

[sinful flare]

And i don't even know what abrasive mea

[analog forge]

it means, rough, course, or irritating

[stark estuary]

like sand

[nimble radish]

and it gets everywhere

[sage glade]

sandpaper and iron files

[opaque sigil]

In this case it's like having sand shoved into my eyes

[sinful flare]

Ugh
What an abrasive matter
Sand

[jade canopy]

Doesn’t it has something to do with like burning ?

[analog forge]

no

thats asbestos

[sage glade]

yummy

[analog forge]

please do not CONSUME asbestos, it wont make you fireproof

[radiant wraith]

Please go eat grass

[sage glade]

vegans be like

[analog forge]

literally sheep

[radiant wraith]

Please go chew a cow

[sage glade]

My guess is because Part Animals is made by Chinese devs so it will be or is really big in China

Blocked + ratioed

[trim estuary]

hopium

[rapid topaz]

what does ratio even mean

[trim estuary]

nah

[nimble radish]

that the reply has more likes

[trim estuary]

idk but if someone has a bad opinion people will like the reply to it saying ratio

[rapid topaz]

okay I see

I guess it's also used as a meme

[trim estuary]

[gilded adder]

When people say "ratio," they're referring to the ratio of likes to dislikes or comments to likes on youtube videos and twitter posts. The more, usually negative, comments a twitter post has, the less trustworthy it is and people will take it less seriously. The youtube ratio is self explanatory.

[pallid flare]

same

[burnt topaz]

who at youtube thought that would be a good idea

[gilded adder]

Aren't they still there? I still have them.

[pallid flare]

I use an extension that fetches the dislikes from countries that still have them

but I don't think that's going to stay for very long

[nimble radish]

they'll go eventually

[nimble radish]

see, youtube isn't about good ideas
it's about keeping everyone on google products not someone else's

[gilded adder]

Remember Youtube Rewind

[nimble radish]

not well, I never payed attention to that stuff

[burnt topaz]

funniest shit ive ever seen

[stark estuary]

pain.

[rapid topaz]

I don't really understand this decision, and how much of a bad thing the dislikes number is, to be removed entirely. Having the possibility to say "I don't like this video" wasn't hurting anything, doesn't it ?

People will just express their disagreements in the comments anyway so in the end that does not even solve the supposed problem

[nimble radish]

don't say that they'll take the comments too

[rapid topaz]

now it's just press "I like the video" or don't press it, and that's all. People having neutral opinion are categorized the same as negative ones

[coarse leaf]

alot of the time dislikes are just trolling though, so its not completely innocent

[opaque sigil]

Who cares whether the dislikes are there. If the title and thumbnail are interesting, click the video. If not, don't.

[pallid flare]

but what if you're looking for a tutorial on something

[coarse leaf]

clickbait?

[nimble radish]

or care about quality in general

[pallid flare]

bad/not working tutorials usually get marked by high amounts of dislikes

[opaque sigil]

Clicking on a bad video doesn't hurt you

Just click off the video if you change your mind

[nimble radish]

you don't see the dislikes before clicking anyway

[rapid topaz]

clickbait can sometimes be a good reason to dislike a video, if you consider the clickbait bad enough

[opaque sigil]

Or look in the comments. If a tutorial is bad people will probably say that in the comments

If you don't know whether you should keep watching how would randos with access to a button know better

[pallid flare]

if things stop working then the prior top comments will remain at the top for a while

[nimble radish]

videos marked as made for kids

[pallid flare]

that too

[coarse leaf]

dislikes can still be good to provide feedback though, u don't necessarily have to be an ass to dislike

[opaque sigil]

Why assume random youtube users have more ability to evaluate a video's quality than you do

[nimble radish]

me when youtube slowly removes all functionality from the platform at a speed unnoticeable so that we boil like frogs

[pallid flare]

there's no real value to removing the dislike button for everyone either

[rapid topaz]

Comments are a mandatory thing to express any kind of opinion, and mostly neutral or constructive criticism where you couldn't really hit a "I like it BUT there is some issues" button

[pallid flare]

if you can't handle it just turn it off??

[coarse leaf]

its just a rating system, i check reviews for pretty much anything i buy, applies to yt too

[opaque sigil]

Rating systems aren't infallible

[nimble radish]

youtube used to have a rate out of five system

[nimble radish]

it doesn't have to be infallible to be useful

[coarse leaf]

pretty convenient though

[opaque sigil]

Maybe not but it isn't a vital feature

[pallid flare]

it isn't, but it's still a pretty important one

[formal kelp]

getting "if you are getting cyberbullied just turn off the computer??" vibes

[opaque sigil]

Not the same at all

"If you click on a video and decide you don't like it you don't have to watch the whole thing"

[coarse leaf]

it doesn't need to be vital to be there, software is designed to be as user friendly as possible, not the bare minimum

[brittle garnet]

creators are pinning comments under videos and saying that the likes on the comment represent dislikes

[nimble radish]

if only there were a clear way to indicate popular opinion on the video to make that easier

[rapid topaz]

i think rating out of five isn't precise enough to express an opinion entirely, If have had my own plateform I would prefer a comments only system (where you allow any kind of criticism and it's up to each creators to respond and/or remove them as they want). But it's probably just me

[pallid flare]

didn't people tend to rate things either at 1 star or 5?

[vale prism]

Leaked Silksong image. For real.

[pallid flare]

doesn't that defeat the purpose of the 5 star rating system

[formal kelp]

ong team berry

Isnt 5 star rating an old thing by now

[pallid flare]

it is

[opaque sigil]

If you just evaluate whether something is worth watching based on popular opinion then idk what to say, that's a pretty dull way to live

And that's entirely besides the point I was making

[pallid flare]

that doesn't make it less valid

[opaque sigil]

It makes it less relevant

[pallid flare]

no it doesn't

[coarse leaf]

doesn't have to be based entirely, nice to take it into account though

[opaque sigil]

Valid points that aren't relevant aren't useful

[pallid flare]

if they like to search for videos like that then the dislike button is somewhat vital

[opaque sigil]

Bruh did you read the message Lori replied to

Then keep going back and following that conversation

[trim estuary]

real real?

[coarse leaf]

yh?

[nimble radish]

"lots of people don't like this video, might not be worth my time"

[opaque sigil]

Evidently you didn't follow the conversation

[vale prism]

Of course.

[coarse leaf]

not sure what i missed

[opaque sigil]

The maxim of relevance is what

[pallid flare]

comments disabled

[analog forge]

Its an easy way to see if a vid is of low quality, or is controversial

[rapid topaz]

Low quality is subjective though

[analog forge]

If you disliked it, it also validates you and makes you feel less crazy

[nimble radish]

no one cares about ease, things should be difficult

life is difficult, making things easy builds up a false understanding of the world
and is therefore evil

[burnt topaz]

like real tv

[nimble radish]

[coarse leaf]

literally any school

[pallid flare]

there's just no benefits to removing the dislike button, that's all we're saying

[nimble radish]

not only are there no benefits, it makes the platform worse

[rapid topaz]

and if there was, I don't get which ones

[coarse leaf]

biggest reason yt gave was to prevent "organised dislikes" basically what happened to yt rewind

[nimble radish]

so it's all about their own video, of course it is

[pallid flare]

the thing is, if you don't like that then you could just disable them, no?

instead of doing that for everyone

[coarse leaf]

can you disable dislikes?

[pallid flare]

you can disable them

well both likes and dislikes, I think

[coarse leaf]

yh that'd probably be better then

but i guess some creators would still get harassed on other platforms if they disabled dislikes

[rapid topaz]

yup

Removing dislikes doesn't solve the harass problem either

[nimble radish]

good think youtube disabled them platform-wide :pkyes:

[coarse leaf]

if everyone is harassed, no-one will be

[chilly nexus]

my voice sounds so deep my gosh 😅 I think i sound different irl

it was really fun to make

[burnt topaz]

so are you guys official reps of the tga cult?

[cerulean sable]

Youre talking to the head honcho

[burnt topaz]

what arms are you dealing

[gilded adder]

Hello TTacco

[cerulean sable]

hello johnny

Well i have some varieties like trench knives, trench clubs, improvised mallets and maces, brass knuckles, makeshift shivs, 84mm unguided recoiless single shot anti tank launchers, home made slings, etc

the sort of shit you can easily make in this shithole

[nimble radish]

you got any arms

[burnt topaz]

^

[nimble radish]

I need to give this guy a hand you see

[cerulean sable]

oh ask the chef for that, i dont deal with the bodies

[burnt topaz]

i currently have none, only a hand

whos the chef

[cerulean sable]

i like the idea of SS being a shitty prison where all the filth resides in

[sinful flare]

Can i get some 84mm unguided recoiless single shot anti tank launchers

[pallid flare]

you got arms

oh who's the chef?

[cerulean sable]

sorry bro just checked, were out of stock :/

we do have 14mm anti tank RIFLES, but its gonna cost you 499 SilkPoints™️ on the CherryShop

[cerulean sable]

well i already took the role of arms dealer so i honestly dont know

[burnt topaz]

how does one get silkpoints

[burnt topaz]

could i be the chef
im already looking for arms

[sinful flare]

Aw man, I'm 1 SilkPoints™️ short.

[cerulean sable]

no discounts

[cerulean sable]

I mean go for it

[sinful flare]

Looks like I'm gonna have to find a second hand one

[burnt topaz]

oh ok, i wasnt even a part of the cult before

[gilded adder]

Less than 2 weeks until TGA...

[burnt topaz]

a week and 5 days

[brittle garnet]

-12 days remain-

[burnt topaz]

thats a little cheap, no?

[brittle garnet]

honestly I have a perfect Mindset
If we don't get news at TGA or in December it probably means they're close to finishing,
If we get news at TGA we get news in 12 days.

[cerulean sable]

see were gonna win regardless

we backed them in a corner 😎

[nimble radish]

that's a lot of silk points

[uncut citrus]

Worth

[cerulean sable]

if MMOs or any games that relies on MTX has taught me anything, its that 500 premium currency will only net you like 1 cosmetic set at most

[uncut citrus]

Full hornet armor for only one soul

[nimble radish]

oh shit, I'm gonna need more souls

[gilded adder]

Silksong releases with 10 different DLC cosmetics and content bundles that cost 5 bucks each

[brittle garnet]

500 premium currency will be enough for a rare item, but not for a set or higher rarity items

[uncut citrus]

Soul master be like

procceds to kill half the capital

We don’t really know how many bugs there was tho but that’s still a lot of peeps

[gilded adder]

Yea, we don't know how stable the game is.

[uncut citrus]

Oh wait oops I’m talking about HK in #sk-discussion, that’s not good I need to go back to talking about selling soul to buy makeshift weapons

[burnt topaz]

we're talking about the real tools here

[cerulean sable]

i unironically wish for armored hornet set

[burnt topaz]

who needs an orange jar, we have home made slings

[gilded adder]

I hope we can unlock cosmetics in the game. Customizing both our looks and builds would be so cool.

FashionSong

[burnt topaz]

i want a tiny bowler hat for hornet

[cerulean sable]

honestly the main issue is that the amount of sprite work theyll have to do

[gilded adder]

True

[cerulean sable]

and you know TC doesnt take the "its non canon approach" to reasoning why her outfit suddenly turns back into vanilla during a cutscene

gotta have in game justification

[gilded adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxPK9utUq5o

[nimble radish]

that works for cutscenes that are rendered real time

[burnt topaz]

i want lace to die whilst hornet wears a tiny bowler hat

could you imagine if you could customize like one specific npc who asks for it

[nimble radish]

Lace isn't going to die she feels like someone that won't die

[cerulean sable]

yeah, especially since the cutscenes are drawn

[uncut citrus]

Tiso isn’t going to die they seems pretty strong

[burnt topaz]

like you could give them certain materials and theyd make themselves clothes or something everytime you see them kinda like the mask maker

[uncut citrus]

Cloth is also pretty strong why would she die?

[burnt topaz]

lace is important though

im sorry cloth

[uncut citrus]

Quirrel we see many time and he seems pretty strong why would he die anyways

[nimble radish]

Cloth's character is certainly the type that you'd expect to die
especially given she's a backer character

cloth and quirrel aren't bosses
if a boss survives the first battle chances are they're gonna be important later

[uncut citrus]

Still quirrel is pretty important

[nimble radish]

unless they're just a boring refight with no additional attacks
but lace is not going to be that

[burnt topaz]

and he fulfils his role and then goes

[uncut citrus]

Not like we had a lot of bosses who survived one fight, hornet doesn’t die but that’s just the one exemple we got, if they do more we’ll probably end up getting one who does die

[nimble radish]

lace will, sharpe probably will

[uncut citrus]

And we need our amount of character death in the game

[gilded adder]

Same with Seth

[nimble radish]

yeah Seth too

[burnt topaz]

i hope we get multiple fights with seth, he looks like a fun boss

[nimble radish]

he's one I'm sure will ally with Hornet at some point

[uncut citrus]

Oh god that « is typing » take all my phone screen length

[gilded adder]

Also, Trobbio most likely

[nimble radish]

put on compact mode

[nimble radish]

ah trobbio, the comic relief character

[uncut citrus]

Pretty sure that won’t change anything I meant length

[gilded adder]

inb4 he has a tragic story that the comic relief aspect is only a front for

[nimble radish]

those never visually affect tk from our perspective, cosmetics would very much do that

[uncut citrus]

There can’t be that many characters that won’t die

At least one between Lace, Seth, Trobbio and sharp will die

If they don’t that mean hornet will die at the end and it’s a sequel

[gilded adder]

Hornet dying at the end would be

[nimble radish]

arguably the first two endings in hk are fates worse than death

[uncut citrus]

The only way to reach a good CD/CA ratio (characters deatth/characters alive)

If no one of the other die I mean

[nimble radish]

a good ratio is when all the characters I like don't die

[frank sparrow]

when is tga again

[uncut citrus]

In too long

Canonical Hornet death

[brittle garnet]

thank god, hated that bitch

worst character

[opaque sigil]

But fr tho TC does good character deaths so it probably wouldn't be bad

Like if Hornet does die in some endings it would probably make sense as the natural conclusion

[summer kindle]

yeah

[stark estuary]

Hornet does die

[opaque sigil]

Kirb no

[summer kindle]

if hornet dies that's fine

[stark estuary]

I already explained this

[opaque sigil]

[stark estuary]

In fact she MUST die

There is no other logical outcome, unless TC introduces interdimensional travel

Which is more likely than you may think!

[tawdry palm]

Ahem, replying to this for later reference

[tawdry palm]

wait what

Is this about sealed sibling? if so then nah, she dosent, but if your talking about something else thats VERY interesting and i wanna hear more

[silver oak]

There are two types of people

[high hedge]

I can’t wait to hear the Silk Wyrm sing her beautiful song at the end of the game

[gilded adder]

Silk Wyrm

Next thing we know, the game's gonna have a character called "The Silk Knight"

[silver oak]

The Silk Song?

[opaque sigil]

Sure why not. I could 100% see that.

[gilded adder]

Favorite movie lines

[opaque sigil]

Not Knight as in the protagonist from HK, but a knight related to silk

[silver oak]

So you’re telling me this whole thing was some sort of Silksong?

[gilded adder]

You telling me we some kind of Silksong?

[sterile sleet]

"You know, this really was a silksong"

roll credits

[silver oak]

That’s the good one

[gilded adder]

The real Silksong was the friends we made along the way.

[cunning geode]

This is like if Legend of Zelda was called “Master Sword”

[silver oak]

It looks like you’ve turned into some sort of Hollow Knight

[brittle garnet]

isn't Hornet the Silk Knight?

[gilded adder]

Hornet isn't a knight, so to speak.

[brittle garnet]

well, SS steam page calls her a "Princess Knight"

[cunning geode]

she’s a motherfucker, get it right

[silver oak]

She’s a princess protector

[gilded adder]

"Princess Protector" actually

wow necro ok

i see how it is

[silver oak]

Snailed

[cunning geode]

Just delete their message

you’ll be first

[gilded adder]

Oh, right. I have that power.

I forgot.

[sinful flare]

Protecter

[brittle garnet]

oh wait it was something else that called her a princess knight

[gilded adder]

I'm not sure anything called her a Princess Knight but I might be misremembering

[brittle garnet]

it wasn't official, i just confused it

[silver oak]

Will maybe she is a Hollow Knight since she’s void

[charred pulsar]

Will maybe she is a Hollow Knight since she’s void

[gilded adder]

[silver oak]

Simo know what’s up

[proud vale]

Simo you cooked unit

[gilded adder]

bazed

[silver oak]

Simo isn’t a government sheeple

[sinful flare]

Um she's screen transition duh

[hollow terrace]

Simo knows the deep lore

[sinful flare]

Huh

[high hedge]

But is she wearing a mask or is her head shaped like that

[gilded adder]

The lore they don't want you to know.

[sinful flare]

Am i wrong

[cunning geode]

it’s her noggin

not her mask

[silver oak]

The knight and THK are brothers

[high hedge]

What an unfortunate, but iconic, headshape

[gilded adder]

[high hedge]

Zote’s adopted

[silver oak]

Myla is the radiance

[gilded adder]

I mean, you're kind of not wrong....kind of.

[high hedge]

What was his blade called? Life Ender?

Nice

[languid linden]

No, Zote is the PK's biological child and the Vessels are adopted

[sinful flare]

Inception?

Wait nevermind
Maybe not actually

[high hedge]

Matpat is that you?

[sinful flare]

🧰

[silver oak]

No silly, the knight is the pale king

[brittle garnet]

Zote is this Pale King

[high hedge]

The Pale King had a drunken fling with the Fluke Mother and Zote was born

[gilded adder]

I am the Pale King.

[sinful flare]

WHAT

[high hedge]

Did you die?

[silver oak]

The truth is out

[uncut citrus]

[sinful flare]

😱

[coarse leaf]

thanks i hate it

[silver oak]

Well

That was a lot to take in

[coarse leaf]

That's not true, I'm the true and only Pale King.

[trim estuary]

Can confirm, equipping flukenest and speaking to the White Lady tells you this

[opaque sigil]

What screenshot

[smoky thorn]

Wait does Ss have a release date

[warm bone]

?sspsa

[thin zephyr]

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

idk why I typed that it was physically painful

[silver oak]

[native ivy]

i thought that was super meat boy

[opaque sigil]

[coarse leaf]

yo

[serene chasm]

listen up

[coarse leaf]

i'm listening

golly it's 4am already

i'm going to sleep

[fiery coral]

goodknight Sharky sleep well

[trim estuary]

[opaque sigil]

Nobody who goes to sleep at 4am sleeps well

[hollow terrace]

Unless they have night shift and got home early

[serene chasm]

imagine not having a healthy sleep schedule

[hollow terrace]

8pm to 4am folks

Best way to miss any silksong announcement

[serene chasm]

Well from Sharky's comment, it doesnt sound like they work the night shift but just stayed up. But that is a fair assumption

[trim estuary]

Silksong announcements come when I sleep, so incorrect

[serene chasm]

Go to sleep then

[opaque sigil]

Timezones do be funni

[serene chasm]

We should all just set our clocks to ACT

[trim estuary]

Do not make me take the ACT again

[serene chasm]

You must. Its the only way SS will come out

[trim estuary]

Fine

[serene chasm]

We thank you for your sacrifice

[trim estuary]

Just kidding I’m going to sleep instead

[serene chasm]

ok have a nap. ZEN TAKE THE ACT!

[radiant wraith]

Sleep well, big day tomorrow

[mental jacinth]

Is silksong...real?

[native ivy]

no

[mental jacinth]

Alright, time to to pack it up boys

[serene chasm]

Are we ever real?

[bleak scarab]

what if, this is all just a dream?

[random zinc]

dont worry guys we’ll get a blog post in december… r-right guys? h-haha

[native ivy]

no

[serene chasm]

yes. TC will do a blogpost after the SS announcement at TGA

[thorny siren]

Ok. so characters of HK are bugs and hornet is a spider who's mother wanted babies. Considering that herrah is a queen, and wanted babies similar to WL's urge to breed. Using that, we can theorize that multiple hornets were born, and all but one went to pharloom with the weavers. They are not talked about because no one remembers then exept hornet and she doesn't want anyone to know. basically, we will see hornets in SS.

This is all just speculation FYI

[cunning geode]

its wrong

[thorny siren]

I literally just said its speculation

[cunning geode]

its wrong speculation

[thorny siren]

I know, and i don't care

I just wanted to voice my opinion right or wrong

[cunning geode]

ok

[serene chasm]

1. Herrah did not have some urge to breed. She wanted a heir because her husband had died before the could have children, and Deepnest would be without an heir. Thats why she agreed to being a dreamer if PK gave her one

[random zinc]

theres a reason hornet is the gendered child and not one of many gendered children. she is unique. herrah mightve only been able to carry one god child while the white lady is powerful enough to carry a bunch

[silver oak]

It’s still wrong

Get owned by superior logic

[bleak scarab]

git gud lol

[random zinc]

yall are needlessly mean sometimes tbh

[warm bone]

saying something's wrong isn't mean

[native ivy]

sometimes?

[serene chasm]

we take lore very seriously

[silver oak]

yes

[bleak scarab]

I missed the part where that's my problem

[random zinc]

wow that was epic

Is this channel ever serious

[hollow sedge]

hollow knight trilogy confirmed

[silver oak]

Hungry knight 4??!????!???

[frank sparrow]

this channel isn't serious its #sk-discussion

[silver oak]

svery serious discussion

[frank sparrow]

cant wait for tga even if ss doesn't show up there

[bleak scarab]

never watched tga

[hollow sedge]

same, more because of breath of the wild sequel

[silver oak]

I did last year, it was okay

Geoff is pretty cool

[serene chasm]

I never watch. I just watch the trailers after

[silver oak]

But now you must

[main coral]

hornet is made of screen transitions intensifies

[silver oak]

The cult dictates it so

[torpid nymph]

WHEN WAS SILKSONG ANNOUNCED

[silver oak]

A year and 9 months ago

[hollow sedge]

its a world premiere so silksong doesn't count anyways

[torpid nymph]

Oh ok

[hollow sedge]

new game that hasn't been announced yet, i hope its a nintendo game

[torpid nymph]

Ok

[serene chasm]

Nintendo dont do much at TGA

[warm bone]

[opaque sigil]

That's unfortunate because that could actually realistically line up with a FE title

[warm bone]

nintondo

[serene chasm]

very sad indeed

[opaque sigil]

A FE title that's definitely in development but hasn't been officially announced

[hollow sedge]

FE is fire emblem right?

[opaque sigil]

Yeah

[coarse leaf]

[faint oriole]

I can’t wait for silksong

[silver oak]

But you will

[naive flax]

It's Silksong

[silver oak]

You will wait

[cerulean sable]

WE RIDE, TONIGHTTTTTTTTTTTT

GHOSTTTTT HORSESSSSS

[heady jolt]

that doesnt equate to 1000 days

anyways ye its probably been confirmed that isn't silksong

[hollow sedge]

2 years and 9 months since the reveal

[serene chasm]

world premiere is for games that have yet to be announced. SS doesnt qualify. But that doesnt mean that it wont be ther

[gilded adder]

It's not Silksong since world premiere means something that hasn't been revealed yet and the public doesn't know about it.

Fuck, I didn't see Curly's above message

[hollow sedge]

i said it right after

[pliant jackal]

such hype!

Lets go bois and girls!

[naive flax]

It's Silksong, doubters will doubt but believers know the truth.

[civic mesa]

Okay you vile beings, hand over the ss release date or I will raid your fridge.

[gray lance]

Tomorrow. It's always tomorrow

[civic mesa]

Tomorrow is an invalid concept of time and does not fit the requirements of my urgent request.

Man I have way too many things I am waiting for atm.

XD

[cunning geode]

such as?

[civic mesa]

Oh all kinds of things. Game sequels, fanmade comics/fiction updates, upcoming movies and tvshows, mod expansions for certain games, CHRISTMAS.

[cunning geode]

heh, I meant specifically, but yeah thats good

[civic mesa]

yeah

[cunning geode]

healthier than some folks who say they only wait for silksong

[coarse leaf]

Is this game stuck in dev hell?

[cunning geode]

no

[civic mesa]

I always try to find something to distract me, but then I have to patiently wait for the distractions to continue using even more distractions.

[coarse leaf]

Are you suuuure?

[cunning geode]

yes

[coarse leaf]

Hm

[civic mesa]

Is dev hell a thing I have never heard of?

[coarse leaf]

Fair enough

[cunning geode]

means development for a game has been crippled in some way over years

usually ends with a game never getting released

[civic mesa]

hm sounds like ss alright

[cunning geode]

no not really

[coarse leaf]

Nods

[civic mesa]

XD

[ruby crown]

They specifically said Covid hadn't affected them in an interview I'm pretty sure

[cunning geode]

games take time. confusing that for "dev hell" is wrong

[civic mesa]

SILKSONG IS AN ILLUSION TO GAIN UNECESSARY ATTENTION AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[cunning geode]

:|

[civic mesa]

jk tho don't get mad at me 😦 :L

[cunning geode]

im not

[coarse leaf]

It doesnt really matter how long game takes to be made, it can still be in dev hell

[civic mesa]

I just hope hornet won't constantly shaw

[ruby crown]

Not mad just dad disappointed

[civic mesa]

Wanna hear something funny? My dad heard me playing hollow knight from across rooms and the most noticeable sounds were during the hornet battle. Now he calls her "The loud one."

[cunning geode]

dev hell implies the developers are struggling with focusing on the game

or are in some way being hindered

as far as we know they only have themselves to hold them back, and the playtesters I know have said TC works incredibly efficiently

[civic mesa]

That sounds like the essay I have to write right now that is due tomorrow, but nevermind that.

[cunning geode]

uh oh

[pliant jackal]

He is going to enjoy you playing SS then.

[civic mesa]

haha

He actually played it after I did, and he says he is only considering playing ss after showing him the trailer where she just shouts everytime she does something.

SHAW

[warm bone]

[coarse leaf]

[steady sage]

I hope it isnt

[warm bone]

games take time, hard to believe I know, but its true

[coarse leaf]

Yeah I know

[steady sage]

didnt hollowknight take like 4 years?

[civic mesa]

I am sure the time it takes will be worth it in the end.

[steady sage]

if so than its probably on track

[coarse leaf]

I'm an smt fan lmao

[warm bone]

a what?

[civic mesa]

Heard it was also taking long because they are not going to seperate it into dlc's

[coarse leaf]

It's an rpg series

[warm bone]

super mario trousers

[cunning geode]

Shin Megami Tensei

[steady sage]

just wish that we got some news

[coarse leaf]

It just feels like nothing has been going on with SS

[steady sage]

like a release date for a release date

[civic mesa]

some news WOULD make it more tolerable of a wait XD

[steady sage]

yeah but not at the expense of TC I wouldnt want them to burnout

[pliant jackal]

I know, we should make some (fake)news for every second day.

to make it less painful.

[civic mesa]

Like, "Someone spilled their coffee on the computer and the game we were making that is a work in progress was not uploaded to the cloud so we have to start over."

[coarse leaf]

I mean I don't care that much since im not that invested in this game, but it would be cool to know

[steady sage]

yeah i heard they're using Chris Prat for voice acting

[scenic coral]

YEAHHHH

[civic mesa]

I am not good at taking jokes so I am just going to ask if that was one.

[pliant jackal]

The game takes so long because they are adding 4 player online co-op, battleroyal mode..

[steady sage]

no they would only ever have hugh jackman, they are Australian after all

[civic mesa]

lol ok

[pliant jackal]

Also it takes time to carefully optimize the monetery gains from lootboxes.

[civic mesa]

what's that mean?

[steady sage]

yeah the battle pass looks cool so far tho

[civic mesa]

Like to decide how much each lootbox gives in the game?

[steady sage]

I might get silksong gold

[civic mesa]

To make the game fair?

[pliant jackal]

There is also souls like system where another players can invade as Zote to attack you after every corner.

[coarse leaf]

what

[steady sage]

idk it does seem a bit pay to win rn with the new zote summoner class

[civic mesa]

If I don't see zote in ss I will complain.

[coarse leaf]

red princess zoterina, you mean

[civic mesa]

Perhaps

Zotebote is such a dreambote

[pliant jackal]

He will be there, in every game over screen, mockin' you.

[civic mesa]

And reciting precepts

[coarse leaf]

ah yes
dies to a boss
precept whateverthefuck never lose

[civic mesa]

Precept something: Do not let enemy kill you, you idiot.

I mean, you cur.

Okay, I am going to leave now. It is 2 in the morning for me.

Bye-------------------------------------

[fiery coral]

[crisp drift]

no stay here and help me with my physics homework /j

[serene chasm]

It looks like the elderbugs are high fiving eachother after putting the knight to sleep

[fiery coral]

physics

[crisp drift]

I would definitely appreciate a help 👀

[coarse leaf]

What if the minds of the bugs in farloom is shaped by silk and hornet can use her needle and special technique that the she masters in the game (like the nail arts in hollow knight) to fix there minds from the song that is destroying the silk and maybe hornet is able to use this like the knight is able to use the dreamnail

[cerulean sable]

yeah it was in the magazine where accordingly, when Ari draws something, its 98% getting into the game

very little is wasted

they dont just go "oh this is the enemy concept, lets iterate until we get it on the iteration we think is the best"

nah the moment he draws the concept art, hes scanning that shit into his computer and starts drawing it, iirc it takes like a day to fully flesh an enemy

[charred pulsar]

[cunning geode]

It’s impressive stuff

[cerulean sable]

ofc considering they also mentioned that enemy AI is getting the priority this time, iterations could change

[cerulean sable]

see we literally have a playtester to confirm it

gg ez arguement won

[cunning geode]

now I can sleep soundly

[coarse leaf]

Ari making an enimy looks like mask maker making masks

[jagged quest]

so did silksong come out

im kidding maybe february

hopefully

[cerulean sable]

honestly betting on something this december

like not a shadow drop

but SOMETHING

[jagged quest]

theres gotta be

[split tide]

I'd settle for a "we're alive and working on Silksong" at this point

[cerulean sable]

or TC goes the route of "well were already went through a year without news, i dont think we should release any further"

[split tide]

wut

ok good that's gone

[jagged quest]

huh what was that

[hollow sedge]

no need, the game awards will far exceed your expectations

[cerulean sable]

some guy met Ari in adelaide 2 months ago and had a bit of a chat

essentially "were doing fine, covid didnt affect us jack shit, and SS scope just got expanded compared to the original DLC sized version thats why its taking us long"

[split tide]

yeah that seems pretty reasonable

[cerulean sable]

honestly 4+ years at the size of HK with all the budget they can use, i think is pretty normal

[split tide]

and there is still the matter of at least meeting the expectations that HK set for most players probably

[coarse leaf]

[low vapor]

im fine with waiting as long as ss doesnt join cyberpunk2077, battlefield. 2042, gta, etc.

[hollow sedge]

i dont think team cherry would want to go a year without news

[cerulean sable]

SS' advantage is that theyre not held by stakeholders/publishers unlike those ones

IIRC CP2077 internal shit went like this

Shareholders: "Is game ready?"
Management: "Is game ready?"
Developers: "Game is not ready"
Shareholders: "Game must be ready"
Management: "Game is ready"

and ofc you know, big benefit is TC isnt constantly advertising shit which ends up not getting fully accomplished by the end of it

afaik for SS, people are just literally asking for more HK with a new world to explore it and improved systems

[normal token]

Unless...

[cerulean sable]

CP2077 was legit being crowned by the fans as GOTY 2021 RPG to end all RPGs before it was released

i mean not to say theres no SS fans like that, but CP2077's marketing eventually overinflated the majority's expectation

[low vapor]

yeah i think thats why so many indie games are so well polished

theres not so much pressure from fans and shareholders

[cerulean sable]

yeah and a HUGE thing as well is their small teams, theyve mentioned they wanted to keep their team small because it allows them A LOT of control of what should or shouldnt be for their game's vision

afaik the way corps work is that some guy asks for this thing, so that division now tells them to conceptualize those things and it makes the work a lot more less coupled with some inherent conflicts inside

[iron spear]

I own 80% of @cerulean sable shares

[hollow sedge]

cyberpunk on PC was actually really good, the base console versions were the atrocious ones

[cunning geode]

not really sharing now is it

[cerulean sable]

Graig please all ive been getting is shitty knives and clubs

i cant even pass these as weapons

[cunning geode]

Why do you need so many weapons

silly man

[cerulean sable]

to arm the @hollow sedge obviously

[iron spear]

So I have actually tested for a few bigger companies now

[cerulean sable]

what else

[iron spear]

Ya boy been diversifying his bonds

[chilly nexus]

King

[cerulean sable]

yeah there were a lot of arguements saying they shouldve left past gen consoles and just went with the next gen instead

[iron spear]

Actually, big corps are fucking horrible

[cunning geode]

unsurprising

[chilly nexus]

double king, love the expose

[iron spear]

Never work for a big company. The testing is ok but the poor Devs get shit on hard

[cunning geode]

sad :/

[cerulean sable]

im lucky the management i work on overall is nice 😎

[iron spear]

I tested some mobile Games lmao

[fiery coral]

insert the usual 'AAA game bad indie game good'

[fiery coral]

how'd that go

[chilly nexus]

oh which ones! I did a few mobile games too, but only really indie studios

[iron spear]

But for one of the bigger guys in the field

[cerulean sable]

i see another shigeru miyamoto quote i am gonna STAB someone

[normal token]

The other playtesters shat on the devs?

[iron spear]

Anyway.. yeah it's just a machine no passion

[chilly nexus]

there are 2 futures: one driven by passion and one by marketing

[iron spear]

Compared with TC it's like night and day

[normal token]

A delayed is forever game, a rushed is eventually delayed

[iron spear]

But you can tell TC has passion by simply playing the game

[hollow sedge]

how do you even become a play tester for games, like are most playtesters just game developers with connections

[cerulean sable]

im banning you

[cerulean sable]

connections ez ez

[modest night]

You should send us a copy of the game to prove that graig

[cerulean sable]

Yeah graig, you should :)

[chilly nexus]

Legit I just found the studios tweeting about hosting a closed beta on their twitter and sent them a message

you'll find lots of things on twitter

[normal token]

Don't you mods have the secret ss release date

[cerulean sable]

theres also an issue that some playtest offerings are scam right\

ok for real, we dont

[iron spear]

I'm just lucky lol. Though turns out I'm pretty good at it

[cerulean sable]

i seriously still fucking laugh at people who DMs us asking if we have insider info lmao

if i did, i wouldnt be here hyping for TGA now would I?

[iron spear]

Now I have lead playtester for HK on my resume.. it opens doors in the field lol

[chilly nexus]

that's just you gaslighting us, as you do

[cerulean sable]

uhuh

[chilly nexus]

fr i'm so happy for all you TC peeps

[normal token]

ttacco is a girlboss after all

[chilly nexus]

you work/create from a place of passion, so the more doors opened to you, the better off the world is

[cerulean sable]

what if graig is just lying, and hes tied in their basement forcing him to say nice things about them or hell get "it"

[elfin swift]

really curious, how much of your testing/QA is bug and mechanic testing vs open ended feedback on 'this was the emotional experience this this and that part of the game gave me dunno if that was your intention or not'

[cerulean sable]

inb4 "Im not at liberty to say"

[fiery coral]

[modest night]

Thats kinda insulting towards all the game made by passionate people but that didnt nearly got as lucky as tc, like you gotta keep in mind tc is like the 1 in a thousand indie games that got popular because it's good and that passion doesnt always open you doors

[iron spear]

Great question

Well... It depends on what is happening when I guess

But usually TC will make a chunk of something and then get us to test it. Initially give first impression feedback and bugs that we found

I might give some QoL feed back too

Then we run it into the ground over and over. Try and break shit

[cerulean sable]

"So what do you think"
"Test Case #206
Scenario: Scene emotional impact
Expected Result: high emotional impact obtained
Actual Result/Feedback: 'lmao the music is too melodramatic lol'"

[iron spear]

By the end in usually doing 112% (for HK) over and over

Make sure the patch is solid enough for release

Across all systems too

[chilly nexus]

(if this is @ my comment I didn't mean to knock them at all! my sentiment isn't exclusive towards just TC, it's generally to anyone who works from passion, and TC just falls into that category and is the most relevant to the present discussion)

[cerulean sable]

does it matter though, someone finds a bug or two and the first thing theyll say is that either the QA or Devs are lazy anyway

[serene chasm]

Not sure if you can answer this, but have the SS builds been less buggy than the HK builds?

[iron spear]

Problem is I might do 1000 hours of testing in a month, but 1000 people will do that in an hour

[cerulean sable]

i think thats the point graig is not at liberty tbh

[elfin swift]

i imagine that when youre in full pre-release 112% multiple times a week bug testing you gotta use the player character like a hammer and at that point youve been playing the game for so long so intently in a fundamentally different way from the intended play experience, at that point in the process it's hard to give feedback on the general play experience and emotional effects of gameplay

[iron spear]

Once millions of people are playing they will find more bugs and stuff

[chilly nexus]

Add me and suddenly it's double the testing 1+1 = 2 = 1*2

[cerulean sable]

Also does this mean we can refute anyone that says "its probably on the testing phase now"

because technically testing always happens iteratively

[iron spear]

1 @chilly nexus != 1Graig

[carmine sapphire]

Ayo is that graig, hi

[chilly nexus]

I can't deny

[carmine sapphire]

yes true

[chilly nexus]

but i can dream ||jk, i am objectively so far away from your level and always will be, i do not possess your talents||

Also most bugs are known before release but couldn't be fixed in time. I'm taking about HK here. When TC basically had to push it out the door

It's like... Is this bug game breaking?? No. Ok we'll fix it when we can

Though thornwarp was actually completely unknown on release

That was a great one to see

[fiery coral]

what about absrad

[fiery coral]

buggier than Hallownest

[carmine sapphire]

I like to imagine yall being like "theres no way they will find this bug, we will fix it at some point"

[elfin swift]

from how you've described it, being qa/testing on a small team sounds v similar to the kinda work and creative input that an editor might have in like, tabletop books

[iron spear]

I never found that absrad bug... I was too good at the game by then to be pogoing up there like a noob 💋

(I should have found it sorry)

[fiery coral]

~~as if there's only one bug in AR ~~

[fiery coral]

can't believe this

[hollow sedge]

when you were testing hollow knight on PC we're you using a keyboard/mouse or controller 🧐

[elfin swift]

if i booted up silksong and didnt meet any bugs in it id probably be pretty confused and upset

[carmine sapphire]

Are there gonna be microtransactions in silksong?

[iron spear]

I play with controller

I just assume keyboard works lol

I'm never trying it

[chilly nexus]

daddy. what? daddy. sorry. daddy.

Playing a platformer with keyboard just doesn't feel right

[modest night]

ttacco where is the ss gun mod

[cerulean sable]

when ss releases

oh wait, its not

[copper knot]

got reminded of a game who tried to fix a potential bug on a quest but ended up completely breaking that quest completely making it impossible to complete. actual comedy

[cerulean sable]

it feels right for HK since it doesnt use too much analog inputs anyway

[serene chasm]

Proof that controller is better than keyboard

[cerulean sable]

its not like you need to slash in a 360 degree angle

[carmine sapphire]

Always has been

[elfin swift]

keyboard is just long controller

[hollow sedge]

i did 112% with a keyboard, usually with platformers on PC i use a controller but idk it felt more natural with a keyboard for me

[iron spear]

Tacco once my KS makes me money I'll hire you to make an AR15 mode for Roc

[hollow sedge]

might be because its a 2D platformer instead of 3D but idk

[cerulean sable]

whats hard with 8654 as your movement

[modest night]

yoooo can't wait for that

[maiden forge]

I can only play shooters with keyboard tbh, all other games like platformers or fighting games I have to use controller

[cerulean sable]

ill do it for free graig

[modest night]

wtf ttacco refusing money

[copper knot]

i played celeste with a keyboard fight me

[cerulean sable]

i didnt make gun mod for the money, it was a message that needed to be sent

[maiden forge]

No I have respect for that

[copper knot]

[modest night]

damn didn't know you were pro guns 😔

[serene chasm]

🤜

[copper knot]

nerf guns tho

[modest night]

youre not even american

[cerulean sable]

i dont wanna get political but... tbh even america's gun addiction is just weird at times 🥴

ill leave it at that

[iron spear]

@cerulean sable you're fired

[modest night]

i think everybody outside of the us thinks that

[copper knot]

i remember when i was in a toy shop and wanted to buy a nerf gun and my mom was like "you're 17"

so what? >:(

[cerulean sable]

i just like them because of the tech revolving around gunpowder

[copper knot]

guns are cool

[cerulean sable]

which is why Silksong will eventually need to implement muzzle loaded muskets

[carmine sapphire]

Hollow knight doesnt guns because they would be too big for bugs

[copper knot]

but america is way too obsessed with guns

[hollow sedge]

in california the gun culture isnt really there, atleast in comparison to other states

[cerulean sable]

Honestly it should, they got smokerocks, why tf arent they gonna make experimental tube shooters

[modest night]

idk i don't like the mass killing machines

[cerulean sable]

hell dont even call it a firearm, call it a powder pipe or something

[copper knot]

genocide is uncool

[iron spear]

Need to create a new style, like steampunk but it's gunpowder punk

Everything works off explosions

[chilly nexus]

the pistons 👀

[hollow sedge]

thats quite a controversial statement

[cerulean sable]

steampunk i sleep

dieselpunk is where im at

[iron spear]

Internal combustion engine punk

[copper knot]

why

i know its a joke dumass

[cerulean sable]

i want ww1 soldiers wearing full plate armor, steampunk is overdone at this point tbh

[chilly nexus]

I'm all sunpunk

[copper knot]

amoguspunk?

[fiery coral]

Frostpunk was good I heard

[chilly nexus]

or moonpunk, to be edgy

[serene chasm]

Silkpunk

[modest night]

it's so fucking wild to think about how actual knights existed to me for some reason

[chilly nexus]

moonpunk could be an aesthetic actually. wait

[analog forge]

The problem with ss gunmod is theres no suitable pun for it

[copper knot]

silksgun

[analog forge]

Ergo, it cant exist

[cerulean sable]

aka Iron Harvest

[analog forge]

Silksights

[modest night]

ttacco why do you know so many games

[cerulean sable]

hey i was gonna name the update to Hollow Point GlockMaster at one point

[copper knot]

glockmaster is funny

[cerulean sable]

because mid tech games are my religion

get that neon cyberpunk shit out of my face

[iron spear]

Glocks N Glory

[analog forge]

Sightsong

[modest night]

also is that french soldiers

[chilly nexus]

i really need to sleep cuz i've got an early morning meeting tmrw with the FDA but it was a pleasure! ||especially receiving the @ from Graig ||

[cerulean sable]

[modest night]

[modest night]

[iron spear]

Goodnight "notNazi"
