[hushed wasp]

wombat is a lie created by the government

[wispy burrow]

first of all the majority of competitive is older teens and adults

secondly, it's been extremely balanced for a while now, almost every weapon has a niche and is usable in high level play

[coarse leaf]

Wombat is actually Simo

[cunning geode]

ok

[coarse leaf]

there's absolutely no evidence that suggest Wombat is a real person

[uncut citrus]

its not only the game, its the characters and memes and everything that makes it the best

[coarse leaf]

[wispy burrow]

splatoon is a really really really cool competitive game

[meager rapids]

it's good

[coarse leaf]

splatoon is eh for me

[cunning geode]

in all fairness Pale Knight TF2 is unlike literally every other shooter

[sage glade]

splatoon more like squid game

[cunning geode]

not saying you should like the game though, basically everyone who likes TF2 also has a burning hatred for it

[lament lotus]

NO

[ancient spindle]

Real ones play Splatoon for the lore

[wispy burrow]

splatoon is designed in a way where any skill level can be enjoyable

[uncut citrus]

no wait thats LOL

[coarse leaf]

I mean, not getting any update on your favorite game since 2012 seems really sad

[mossy jolt]

ssplatoon discussion

[wispy burrow]

thats fine, the competitive scene is still dope asf

[cunning geode]

Okay that’s hyperbole but I did laugh

[sage glade]

yeah. i ain't ever seen a single person liking lol

[lament lotus]

wasnt it since 2017?

[coarse leaf]

I don't know

[errant mango]

my favorite part of silksong is when supreme calamitas shows up and kills everyone

[cunning geode]

Give or take

[coarse leaf]

supreme calamitas death mode is hard

[uncut citrus]

But if you were nice to Sherma, he shows up and rekt supreme calamitas before its able to do anything and you get the good ending

[coarse leaf]

what's the hardest games u guys have played

[wispy burrow]

i think it really sucks that splatoon comp is small in NA

its pretty big in JP but most here just think its dumb casual game or something
genuinely depresses me

[coarse leaf]

Ig Hollow Knight

[lament lotus]

probably before 2017 lmao

[errant mango]

terraria calamity mod in death mode

[uncut citrus]

depends what you consider in game, otherwise HK is easily the hardest cause p5AB

[ancient spindle]

Celeste? Hades 32 heat?

[coarse leaf]

But I'm trying Super Meat Boy rn, so idk if it would be harder than HK

hades 32 heat is impressive

[cunning geode]

Not probably, there was a major update at the end of 2017 but another minor/really important update happened early 2018

[errant mango]

boss rush in death mode is hard

[ancient spindle]

OH I KNOW! The end is nigh

Anyone familiar with it?

[coarse leaf]

The End is Nigh seems really good, I will play it at some point

[wispy burrow]

multiplayer: splatoon

singleplayer: ummmm, idk. hollow knight? some kaizo romhacks?

[coarse leaf]

the game in general, not some random obscure challenge only 1% will do

[normal token]

HK tbh

[errant mango]

so does death mode boss rush not count?

[coarse leaf]

I want some actual difficult 2D platformer game and this game could probably be what I expect

[lament lotus]

ah i see

[coarse leaf]

i did that too brother 🤝

[uncut citrus]

lemme think of stuff i really raged at

[errant mango]

I haven't beat it yet

[ancient spindle]

I wouldn't define it as hard more mentally grueling but sunshine 100% on both consoles is up there. Do not know why I did that.

[coarse leaf]

i beat it with a friend recently

[cunning geode]

Silksong was the hardest game I ever played

[uncut citrus]

probably the hardest stuff would be online game stuff like reaching highest season lvl and stuff

[ancient spindle]

If I were ever to beat thumper it would probably be the hardest thing I've done

[coarse leaf]

Oh, then probably Spelunky 2

[uncut citrus]

thought about this one but tbh it was fine, if you dont count silksoul

[cunning geode]

I do count Silksoul

[coarse leaf]

monster hunter games are pretty hard

[uncut citrus]

then yeah silksong harest solo game

[outer bridge]

Most old games I find are waaay difficult- castlevania 1 for instance is absolutely brutal

[lament lotus]

some new person is going to come here and think silksong already released

[cunning geode]

they can perish

[sage glade]

but it is

[normal token]

Nestroid is hell

[coarse leaf]

But old games had really bad controls, level structure and systems in general

[normal token]

Woah no way silksong is out?!

[lament lotus]

[quartz yew]

Hello!

[cunning geode]

I’ve done some Doom 2 challenges that were probably the most difficult video game things I have ever done

[uncut citrus]

it did but not in this timeline, anyways imma play hk now

[coarse leaf]

Like, Mega Man 2 is a good game, but it's controls aren't that good for example

[ancient spindle]

Does anyone know of any good BOTW challenges? I've done a challenge run but the way combat is set up it wasn't all that difficult aside from ganon

[quartz yew]

Just saw an article that almost made me do the zote emote face

[coarse leaf]

entire game damageless

[normal token]

Shirtless Link

[ancient spindle]

The one I did was 3 heart master mode

[coarse leaf]

Also, also, should I try the hard mode of Super Mario Odyssey?

sure

[ancient spindle]

Superstar mode? Or is this something else

[normal token]

SMO isn't that hard of a game itself anyways

[coarse leaf]

Superstar mode yeah

[normal token]

Didn't even know there was a hard mode tbh

[ancient spindle]

It's a mod

[coarse leaf]

I don't think it is a mod?

[static grotto]

It’s a fan made mod

[outer bridge]

It is a mod

[normal token]

Oh

[coarse leaf]

Oh, then I'm just

[static grotto]

Superstar mode is a mod

[outer bridge]

In the vanilla game the hardest it gets is just ||darker side||

[coarse leaf]

Nah, ||Volleyball moon|| is harder than ||Darker Side||

[static grotto]

so true

[outer bridge]

Trueee

[coarse leaf]

And like, coming from a person who beat ||Darker Side|| before beating a stupid ||Volleyball|| challenge

[steep basin]

ITS TIME TO JUMP UP IN THE AIR

[quartz yew]

Oh yeah since it's 13th December in Australia, did we get any news or should I just wait until tomorrow?

[coarse leaf]

[young saffron]

Wait till tmr if not will till atleast dec 31

[quartz yew]

Aight

[outer bridge]

hehe it’s 3:40am here, doubtful anyone would be awake to even make any announcement

Oh technically a bit earlier in SA

[coarse leaf]

But, uh, any other recommendations for hard 2D platformers? (Besides Celeste and The End is Nigh)

[crimson radish]

jump king

[coarse leaf]

cat mario

[crimson radish]

super meat boy

[coarse leaf]

Jump King can't be considered a 2D platformer

[crimson radish]

it's 2D and has platforms

[coarse leaf]

I started playing it today

[quartz yew]

Oh ok! I don't know Australia's timezone so I was kind of half guessing.

[coarse leaf]

20 minutes and I already beat World 1

[normal token]

Hollow Knight, if not that Hollow Knight: Silksong

[wanton goblet]

[coarse leaf]

blasphemous

[coarse leaf]

But it has bad controls

[coarse leaf]

I heard of that game before, people seems to really like it

[normal token]

Shovel Knight if you haven't tried that

[quartz yew]

I want to reccomend rain world but I don't know if you can call it a 2d platform.

Ori and the will of the wisps is a good game.

[normal token]

Fun fact about SK: The backgrounds are 3d

[coarse leaf]

Shovel Knight & Ori aren't exactly hard tho

[outer bridge]

Oh N++ is super fun and quite punishing

[coarse leaf]

blasphemous is great. not that hard but challenging enough. great art and music. free DLC

[sage glade]

dustforce dx

[quartz yew]

I haven't really played much 2d platforming these days. Maybe I should get back into it.

[coarse leaf]

Dustforce? What is that supposed to mean?

[sage glade]

it's the name of the game

[bleak coral]

No but like for real Leth is a coward for not showing his face after TGA

[coarse leaf]

Of course it is, but I've never heard of it

[sage glade]

yeah it's kinda obscure

[normal token]

Or he is busy

[fiery coral]

he's busy making tons of marketing material for Silksong

[normal token]

SS out now

[soft sparrow]

why couldn't he finish it by December 9th

[dawn smelt]

original super mario

[coarse leaf]

I already beat every 2D main mario game besides the new super ones

[wispy burrow]

they should hire brian david gilbert to market hollow knight

[soft sparrow]

they should hire me to playtest Silksong

[gray lance]

Important to remember that making a fancy trailer for something like TGA is a ton more work than making a blog post. Chances are if we do get a news post today/tomorrow that they simply didn't want to bother with detracting from the development

Which is good

[wispy burrow]

ive neen waiting for a new 2d mario for so long now

last one was 2012

[coarse leaf]

I mean, you could just play Mario Maker instead

[carmine sapphire]

Anything new on ss?

[wispy burrow]

it's absolutely NOT the same

[carmine sapphire]

Mario maker isnt very good tbh

[wispy burrow]

mario maker is fun but not in the same way as a seamless, official 2d mario

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but it's the closest that we have of a new 2D mario game nowdays

[carmine sapphire]

Sadly

[wispy burrow]

thats the point. its really shitty they are basically ignoring 2d mario

2d mario has been relegated to nostalgia and "do it yourself fuckers"

This is the second Great 2D Mario Drought

first was around the first 3d days

[uncut citrus]

guys

you wont believe this

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, ig if Nintendo tries to make a new 2D mario game, it needs to be distinct from all the other 2D mario games

[wispy burrow]

"wait... people dont like generic new super mario?

Then we aren't making 2d fuck you"

[uncut citrus]

i was in #hk-lorem and we had a normal nice conversation

[coarse leaf]

Lore got new rules

or something like that

[uncut citrus]

ik but i dont think thats the reason

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but I think Nintendo doesn't want to make a new 2d mario game bcz Mario Maker exists

"Why we should make a new 2D Mario game when our fans can make it themselves?"

[uncut citrus]

Mario maker 3

[rose wolf]

Why is the hk memes redit are crazy

[opaque sigil]

Maybe but that's hardly a good reason

Mario has evolved beyond the 2d thing and Nintendo may just not see much reason to go back

[nimble radish]

mario maker is infinite mario games you just have to find them

[soft sparrow]

when the next nintendo console releases we are guaranteed getting something along the lines of "New NEW Super Mario Bros!"

[opaque sigil]

Games like mario maker are not an alternative to a mainline series entry

[nimble radish]

it's also why we don't need a portal 3

[fiery coral]

🥲

[burnt topaz]

but wouldnt it be nice

[nimble radish]

make your own portal 3

[dusk badger]

have you played some of the custom maps for p2

some can get pretty amazing
not to mention the full-scale mods developed for it

[placid obsidian]

anyone knows how to deal with the last boss in silksongs's final phase?

[magic narwhal]

I think it’s because people are tired of 2D Mario

[placid obsidian]

having some trouble with it

[magic narwhal]

So they’re focusing more on stuff like Odyssey

[outer bridge]

Try getting a few hits in and dodging its attacks

[magic narwhal]

New Super Mario Bros really exhausted the formula

[outer bridge]

In all likelihood it’s probably because they think they can make more money elsewhere

[magic narwhal]

Not to say you can’t have good 2D Mario

3D World was good but it was more 2.5D than 2D

[outer bridge]

I feel like (main) Nintendo are kinda just giving up on 2D in general

[uncut citrus]

i would advise you a tool/ability build but that would spoil a little to much to ppls who havent finished it yet

[coarse leaf]

Nah, that's just wrong

[magic narwhal]

Dread

[outer bridge]

Like, I’m not sure who was asking for 3D Kirby when every other game is 2D but here we are

Main Nintendo didn’t do dread

[coarse leaf]

Literally every Kirby fan wanted a 3D Kirby game

[magic narwhal]

Smash is 2D

[outer bridge]

lol why

[placid obsidian]

yeah you're probably right...

[nimble radish]

theres some good ones

[wispy burrow]

because the fans suck at it

how many auto levels exist now

more than there shoupd

[placid obsidian]

I'm already done with one ending and have been grinding for some time for the ending I'm currently trying to do

damn

[magic narwhal]

That poor new Sonic game

[cunning geode]

@sleek crow can you not

[magic narwhal]

Literally no one’s talking about it because of how mediocre Forces was

[cunning geode]

New Sonic Movie took the attention

[magic narwhal]

Also that

[sleek crow]

Can I not what

[cunning geode]

Say stupid shit like that

[sleek crow]

Ok

[cunning geode]

Thanks

[outer bridge]

I’ve seen a fair bit of buzz about the new sonic purely bc it’s open world

[coarse leaf]

But that's good for Nintendo anyways, they don't need to waste their time worrying about making new and good levels

[magic narwhal]

They did open world Sonic before so doubt

[placid obsidian]

I've seen some people talking about it but after the colours remaster most of them think the games gonna be broken

[magic narwhal]

It’s Sonic Team, it’s very likely lol

Most 3D Sonic games are buggy messes

[coarse leaf]

But 3D sonic games aren't really good tho

[ancient spindle]

I saw the trailer and all I took from it was that sonic would be in it

[magic narwhal]

Only good Sonic game in the last little while was Mania, and that was mostly due to it not being done by Sonic Team

[coarse leaf]

The only really good 3D sonic game was Generations

[placid obsidian]

if they couldn't fix a remaster of a wii game an open world for sonic sounds abit sketchy

[sleek crow]

I think the new sonic game has sonic in it

[magic narwhal]

OG Colours was aight

[soft sparrow]

I think a sonic open world could work if they do it right

[magic narwhal]

Unleashed is okay

[ancient spindle]

There was one fanmade open world sonic game that looked really neat

[placid obsidian]

il wait till gameplay drops before I'll consider getting it

[magic narwhal]

The werehog kinda kills pacing tho

[soft sparrow]

unleashed without the werewolf parts is good

[cunning geode]

Sonic is so fast you can run across the open world in 30 seconds

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but we're talking about Sega, not fans

[magic narwhal]

Always this

[placid obsidian]

either way not getting it on switch tho

[magic narwhal]

The fans make some dope works

[ancient spindle]

Really?

[coarse leaf]

Sega can literally destroy this new sonic game in 1 second

[magic narwhal]

Sonic Team kinda sucks at their own IP and it’s sad

[soft sparrow]

yea sonic forces felt more like a fanfiction than an official game imo, it feels like they don't entirely know what they're doing anymore

but who knows, frontier could be really good

[ancient spindle]

The best things to come of it was the gamer cap

[wispy burrow]

have yall heard of how shit it is to work at sega

[coarse leaf]

but it can be also really bad

[soft sparrow]

yeah, but at least they're trying something new

[ancient spindle]

We all know that one guy who really really likes sonic and gets continually disappointed by the games

[soft sparrow]

ever since sonic went 3d, he tended to feel constricted within the game, which is why I think an open world could work out

[ancient spindle]

How do you handle objectives? He can't be super precise just by how fast he is

Would it just be like fields and shit?

[wispy burrow]

honestly im getting tired of games using the Woah we're open world now shtick

ever since BotW

[coarse leaf]

Sonic 2006 tho

[wispy burrow]

every kid friendly series with adults that have been playing for a long ass time is now going open world

[soft sparrow]

the absolute pinnacle of 3d sonic and the franchise as a whole

[ancient spindle]

Is Bowser's fury just a prototype for open world Mario?

[wispy burrow]

pokemon, zelda, mario, sonic, kirby, potentially splatoon

[coarse leaf]

yeah

[ancient spindle]

Idk I'd be down for that

[soft sparrow]

we now have pokemon: breath of the wild, breath of the hedgehog, and kirby: breath of the wild

[coarse leaf]

Kirby isn't really open world tho

[wispy burrow]

they are making an open world kirby

[versed pollen]

Open world platformers feels really weird to me

[coarse leaf]

It looks like it's going to be a 3D linear Kirby game

[wispy burrow]

maybe

[burnt topaz]

yeah i dont remember it being reference as open world

[ancient spindle]

Can I just say how unexcited I am by open world pokemon? It's such a good concept it feels like the natural progression but all I've seen so far is just empty stuff

[wispy burrow]

I'm so fucking excited for Pokemon

[ancient spindle]

I am happy for you

[wispy burrow]

I don't want another Pokemon Bad convo 😭

[versed pollen]

I've never actually played a Pokemon game

[uncut citrus]

same

[ancient spindle]

Ah that's alright then we'll not

[coarse leaf]

I just don't like grinding in pokémon

[sage glade]

i have a dumb question. is it confirmed ss will follow the same canon as hk?

[wispy burrow]

Pokemon are videogames

[normal token]

Pokemon bad

[versed pollen]

I really feel like I should since a lot of them are really loved but I just never do

[opaque sigil]

pokemon games are overrateed tbf

[ancient spindle]

Well yea. It's up in the air how they handle HK's ending tho

[wispy burrow]

I'd recommend Gen 7 for first time tbh

[cunning geode]

Maybe the Pokémon arceus game will provide something fresh to the series

[soft sparrow]

gen 5 best gen

[opaque sigil]

Hopefully, it could really use it

[cunning geode]

But they really did just repaint the same games over and over, then fucked the whole art style up when they made it 3D

[wispy burrow]

It's quite linear but it has a good story, is modern mechanics, teaches a bit more than the others, looks good, good music

[sage glade]

oh yeah, especially the one where hk escapes the black egg

[wispy burrow]

Imo gen 7 is the best looking game in the series

[ancient spindle]

If pokemon games had a 5-7 year cycle Luke 3d Mario they'd be so hype

[cunning geode]

I think the best 3D Pokémon game is probably those Pokémon arena(tournament?) games

[coarse leaf]

day 716, i still waiting for it

[cunning geode]

Or like the Pokémon tekken games

[wispy burrow]

gen 7 is honestly

i think the best games in the series

[uncut citrus]

the only pokemon game i played was pixelmon

[burnt topaz]

nice

[uncut citrus]

and i didnt even played it much

[cunning geode]

That definitely doesn’t count

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but I'm concerned if it is going to be really repetitive tho

[ancient spindle]

Gen 7 is the one I've played and... I guess it's just not for me?

[opaque sigil]

Well it would be hard for it to be more repetitive than other games

[cunning geode]

Which one is gen 7 again

[wispy burrow]

Gen 7 is a bit different than the rest of the games so would try another

[hard stratus]

alola

[cunning geode]

Ahhh

I liked a lot of the monsters from gen 7

[wispy burrow]

Gen 7 focuses way more on story and characters than the rest

[ancient spindle]

I want to get into pokemon stadium but I have no clue where to even begin

[wispy burrow]

I'd play HGSS or FRLG for the exploration side of Pokemon

if you do FRLG for the love of god use a guide in some places

[cunning geode]

I mostly care about the Pokémon designs themselves, haven’t played a Pokémon game since White

[coarse leaf]

The concept of a open world Pokémon is great, but after some time, I can see the combat being really repetitive and exploration not really being a thing

[cunning geode]

and I’ve only ever played… four Pokémon games? Idk

[soft sparrow]

I think gen 5 had the best looking pokemon, it was when it was still 2d and the sprites were the most detailed

[wispy burrow]

my personal list

[opaque sigil]

Combat being repetitive is kinda not related to its being open world and exploration would be a crux of quality

[cunning geode]

Oh god yeah, Pokémon yellow

[opaque sigil]

An open world game with subpar exploration is not a game that benefits from its design

[cunning geode]

I remember when I had that game

[ancient spindle]

Why is above average below good

[nimble radish]

because good is not the average

[ancient spindle]

That is upsetting.

[cunning geode]

Says something about Pokémon don’t you think

[soft sparrow]

I remember playing pokemon yellow on the gameboy sp as a kid

[coarse leaf]

I never really liked Pokémon for some reason, maybe it's bcz I didn't play it when I was a child?

[wispy burrow]

I don't dislike any game until Trash

[burnt topaz]

i played some of it as a kid and still dont really like it
but thats because ive never really liked rpgs

[wispy burrow]

pokemon isnt really a jrpg tbh

[cunning geode]

What is it then

if not a Japanese rpg

[burnt topaz]

i dont like turn-based combat then

[wispy burrow]

its a japanese roleplaying game but its not meant to compete with final fantasy, dragon quest

[coarse leaf]

I mean, I never liked grinding bcz it felt like a waste of time even though you get more xp and stuff like that

[ancient spindle]

An experience

[wispy burrow]

its a monster collection game

[coarse leaf]

JRPG = Japanese RolePlayingGame

[cunning geode]

I understand

[wispy burrow]

smt
temtem
pokemon
nexomon
digimon
fossil fighters
monster sanctuary
yokai watch

[cunning geode]

It’s pretty damn close though

[ancient spindle]

Jrpg adjacent

[wispy burrow]

i know it is by the literal term that but jrpg also has a general vibe

[coarse leaf]

I can agree with that, yeah

[wispy burrow]

when i think of jrpg its like
final fantasy
dragon quest
xenoblade
generic anime rpg of the week

but not reeeally pokemon?

[soft sparrow]

it can be considered a jrpg while not necessarily competing with those games

[cunning geode]

You forgot spectrobes and telefang

[coarse leaf]

I can't think that Earthbound is a JRPG

Even tho I didn't play the game

Is dark souls jrpg?

[cunning geode]

not really

[coarse leaf]

It's a Souls Like

[wispy burrow]

dark souls is an adventure game with rpg elements

[coarse leaf]

or something like that???

[ancient spindle]

Dark souls = dark souls basically

[wispy burrow]

like, if dark souls is an rpg then i guess call of duty is lol

[cunning geode]

Dark Souls is a Demon’s Souls-like

[soft sparrow]

there's been debate about it

[wispy burrow]

Idk why people talk about dark souls like its a new genre

[gray lance]

Demon's Souls is a Frogger-like

[wispy burrow]

metroidvania

[coarse leaf]

Same thing with Metroidvania

[wispy burrow]

its inspired a lot by zelda

which inspired metroid

and also inspired castlevania

and you go all the way down the line to dark souls

[soft sparrow]

because it spawned a series of games that were pretty inspired by it, the whole "the dark souls of ___" meme aside

[cunning geode]

a lot starts from Zelda

[ancient spindle]

Real talk tho whats y'all's favorite Mario party

[wispy burrow]

metroidvania is basically just Zeldavania lmao

[coarse leaf]

Hollow Knight is a Zelda-like

Silksong is a ShovelKnight-like

[wispy burrow]

mario party 8 is the only one ive really played quite a bit of tbh

[coarse leaf]

Mario Party 2

[wispy burrow]

literally

a lot of it comes from zelda 2

[coarse leaf]

I already played Mario Party 9 and it was just decent

[ancient spindle]

8 is the one that's dear to my heart but I think either 6 or 3 are the best

[coarse leaf]

8 is okay ig

[ancient spindle]

If it had better mingames and menuing it would high-key be top tier

[wispy burrow]

Tbh I don't like how in the gaming community we have "metroidvania" but don't give the credit to Zelda

like at the end of the day

some metroidvanias are like zelda except the puzzles are hit everything/use the item that is clearly laid out for you

[ancient spindle]

Too many good boards

[coarse leaf]

8 was really rushed tho

[ancient spindle]

For sure

[coarse leaf]

It was supposed to be a Gamecube game, but they rushed it a bit to release it with the Wii

[wispy burrow]

i like train and bank one

[ancient spindle]

Yea that's why the aspect ratio is 4:3

[ancient spindle]

Both s tier boards

[coarse leaf]

But I still like Mario Party 2 more

It had good boards, really good mini-games and the characters had costumes

[ancient spindle]

Everyone's favourite is the one they grew up with

[coarse leaf]

Bowser literally had a gun, what would you even ask for??

[wispy burrow]

i think 90% of the reason people say mario party 2 is their favorite is the fact it has costumes

[coarse leaf]

And bcz Bowser have a gun

[ancient spindle]

He did do that yes

[coarse leaf]

But really, every Mario Party 2 board is really good

[ancient spindle]

Tru

Wish superstars had Bowser land

[wispy burrow]

i feel like 5 boards is perfect for a game tbh

if there was like 10 it'd be overwhelming to choose on a dime

[coarse leaf]

We had the desert one, the ghost one, the space land, bowser land

[ancient spindle]

I'd have wanted 6-7 like most of the games

You've been lied to by ndcube into thinking 5 is good

[wispy burrow]

imagine you are on the couch with 3 people who dont know what a bowser is

there's 7 boards

how do you choose without it being awkward, slow, or just one person

[ancient spindle]

Same way you do with 5?

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but I think people wants more boards bcz there's a lot of good boards that could be in the game and potentially not make the game so repetitive

[wispy burrow]

nah because for every new quality board added the chance of two people liking one visually is decreased

[coarse leaf]

Like, the game isn't repetitive, don't get me wrong, but I think more boards could make the games feel more unique

[ancient spindle]

I've never had problems asking what boards to play

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, it's just a really nice option to play more boards

[wispy burrow]

i disagree idk

I Don't See It

[coarse leaf]

I don't think being limited to select for a number of boards could be really good tho

[ancient spindle]

It's just more content rlly

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, exactly

There's not really cons of why it should have less boards

Are you guys know why TC likes to release blogpost on december 13th?

Idk

[ancient spindle]

Haven't they only done it once

Fuck

[coarse leaf]

doen

[ancient spindle]

Silence

There isn't a pattern right

[opaque sigil]

They did it twice, so there is a pretty feeble pattern

[ancient spindle]

Wait fr

[opaque sigil]

2018 had a non-ss blogpost then

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but TC could also just do nothing bcz they forgot it had a pattern

[wispy burrow]

what day is it in australia

[ancient spindle]

I'll bet against the 13th this year. Spam ping me if I'm wrong

[coarse leaf]

13th

[ancient spindle]

Oh dam

[normal token]

But technically they did show ss news

[steady raven]

Yeah TGA sounded like there was hope but I'm not hoping for a blog post

[half trellis]

but isn't it like 5am there rn?

[wispy burrow]

i'll accept a mossbag video

[formal karma]

there was nothing going for TGA though...

[opaque sigil]

There was the like but that was about it

[ancient spindle]

And the update on the store

[opaque sigil]

No, that wasn't anything

All gog store entries got that iirc

[ancient spindle]

Circumstantial tho. I think TGA Twitter account guy just chose violence

[steady raven]

That's true but they actually announce games at TGA, blog post seems like hoping for a random occurrence

[cunning geode]

And the thousands of fans just hoping, pleading for something! Why didn’t TC listen to the fans??!!11

[opaque sigil]

Blog post (if there is one) probably wouldn't have a release date

[coarse leaf]

The update dosen't proove anything

[old flare]

they're not online enough to see what the fans say lol

[ancient spindle]

I think they're aware

[opaque sigil]

In some capacity, probably

[normal token]

Wilbo probably lurks

Silently mocking us

[cunning geode]

he does, or did

[ancient spindle]

Prolly for the best if they aren't online tho cuz we keep adding pressure even if we don't come in with those intentions

[opaque sigil]

Yeah

[cunning geode]

some people do have those intentions

[normal token]

They seem to only go online when there will be news soon

[ancient spindle]

And they're pricks.

[normal token]

Remember in 1st December 2020 they both came online

[ancient spindle]

This is my evidence to not be hyped

[opaque sigil]

Correlation does not imply causation and all that

[ancient spindle]

This do be tru

It's easy to convince yourself it does tho and I am fully okay with being ignorant

[normal token]

I mean they do know this server will get hyped when they have an online status

[ancient spindle]

What an odd position to be in

Ultimately one of their own making but yea

Have we heard from leth at all recently?

[formal karma]

no

[opaque sigil]

Not for a while, but that's not really significant imo

[ancient spindle]

I was just wondering

[formal karma]

so long, in fact, it was 'proof' that TGA was real

[opaque sigil]

[misty tundra]

So, 12/13 may be the day... Of news

[opaque sigil]

The bar for what qualified as "evidence" for tga was pretty low

[ancient spindle]

I'm not counting on it

[misty tundra]

yeah, me neither

[ancient spindle]

Also it's 13/12 ew america

[misty tundra]

But the web is probably going to collapse

[normal token]

@misty tundra Nice pfp

[misty tundra]

Im from South America, but i thought everyone here was from america or something like that

So i just adapted

[ancient spindle]

I wasn't wrong per say

[misty tundra]

Thanks, pichu gang is da best

[opaque sigil]

I mean considering that 12/13 falls on a Monday I'm more skeptical since TC presumably takes weekends off so unless they has a one day week their last day would have been the 10th but whatever

[ancient spindle]

Huh

Right that's it my hype is gone and I am happy for it

[feral dew]

😣

[misty tundra]

wait, what

[ancient spindle]

Truuuuu

[normal token]

Why does it matter which day of the week it is for a blogpost

[ancient spindle]

I guess they could just schedule it

[formal karma]

anniversaries of news don't equate news anyways

[coarse leaf]

it doesnt

[opaque sigil]

Because usually they do it on their last day before their break for the holidays. If I were them I might just start the vacation early instead of having a one day week

[normal token]

Exactly

[opaque sigil]

So it would be a bit more weird to have that be on a monday than, say, thursday or friday where you still get most of a week's work in

Not disproof by any measure, just a weird thing

[ancient spindle]

Yea it's prolly just another day which is fine

[opaque sigil]

Just an observation and subjective analysis

[ancient spindle]

If they were to deliver on it today then fans would expect stuff every 13th

[opaque sigil]

Which might be fine if that's their actual intent

[ancient spindle]

Remember June 12th 2020

[normal token]

But you see Tammo: SS news on Monday would make Mondays much better for everyone

[formal karma]

they already do...

[ancient spindle]

Good timmeeeeeeees

[opaque sigil]

If they're internally explicitly planning on doing things every December 13th, with 2020 being the exception due to Edge, then fans expecting things on the 13th is reasonable as far as TC is concerned

[ancient spindle]

But like, more

[nimble radish]

garfield non believers be like

[formal karma]

but we have no way of knowing that

[ancient spindle]

Shout out to Garfield

[nimble radish]

mondays aren't that bad

[opaque sigil]

No, we don't, hence "as far as TC is concerned" and the hypothetical

[ancient spindle]

Let's say, hypothetically, silksong was coming out in 2028

[sage glade]

alright it's 13th in my timezone

[ancient spindle]

Good for you

[opaque sigil]

ok but why would we say that

[sage glade]

[ancient spindle]

That's under the assumption time zone made any goddamn sense

[ancient spindle]

Wait no wrong way

Hmm

[sage glade]

me? i'm not even in the US

[ancient spindle]

Middle east?

[sage glade]

asia lol

[ancient spindle]

I mean

[nimble radish]

middle east is asia

[ancient spindle]

I mean y'know that's not wrong

[sage glade]

yeah well it was a more cultural statement

anyway, i wonder what time it is rn down under

[opaque sigil]

Like 4am or something

I think it's 15 hours ahead of me or so

[nimble radish]

australia beeg tho

[marsh ibex]

It’s 4:32:35

[sage glade]

they're in sydney right?

[marsh ibex]

In adelaide

Also wait when is summer technically for TC

[opaque sigil]

Inverse of north hemisphere

[serene chasm]

right now

[nimble radish]

it's nearly their summer solstice

[small goblet]

you know summer is a good time for releasing games

[nimble radish]

fuck I have a headache shit fuck ass

[marble marsh]

its 4:30 according to google rn in adelaide

[ancient spindle]

Aw shit good luck

[coarse leaf]

god damn i wonder why

[marsh ibex]

ramdom do you know who modmar is

[coarse leaf]

no comment

[marsh ibex]

They’re wanted in 17 countries for various war crimes

[normal token]

@coarse leaf Hey modmar, how's it been

[small goblet]

oh wait guys i just thought a bit
on dec 2019 there were around 170 enemies in silksong
how many are there now?!

[ancient spindle]

More than that

[marble marsh]

500

[feral dew]

163

[ancient spindle]

That's assuming they keep adding stuff

[marble marsh]

163, how did they lose enemies

[coarse leaf]

171

[opaque sigil]

SS might delve more into having different enemies that act the same but look different, so the high enemy count could be a bit misleading imo

[ancient spindle]

Same way as the blundering oberlisk

[half trellis]

cut content

[small goblet]

well i meant around 170 but anyway

[coarse leaf]

Imagine being Summer on Christmas.... what is life

[normal token]

"over 150 unique enemies!"

[ancient spindle]

That's dope tho

[tame widget]

this was in 2019 tho

[ancient spindle]

TC don't sell their games like that tho

[feral dew]

perfection is not when there is nothing left to add, it's when there is nothing left to remove

[ancient spindle]

"over 30 bosses" comes to mind when they had nearly 40

[opaque sigil]

Yeah I wasn't saying there wouldn't be a large number of unique enemies, just that by some counts it could vary depending on if you double count similar niches

Like, if SS has 400 different enemies but only 200 enemies with meaningfully distinct behaviors

[small goblet]

that's what i'm talking about, if they didn't just polish game for 2 years, then...

[ancient spindle]

Do y'all still count Christmas as a big deal?

[serene chasm]

like in general?

[ancient spindle]

Ye

[coarse leaf]

For SS news?

I'm loving silk song so far

[tame widget]

I'd say there's like 200 enemies

[opaque sigil]

It is for most people, I don't really care though

[marble marsh]

I would guess there is maybe 200 or 225 enemies because they arent constantly adding the same amount of enemies for the entire time

[serene chasm]

nah.

[small goblet]

we don't really celebrate christmas in russia lol

[coarse leaf]

I'm surprised some people don't know it's released already

anything more than 250 would be excessive

[coarse leaf]

No

[marsh ibex]

nf;dl

[ancient spindle]

Ive been caring less and less and now me and the fambly just do not give a shit

[coarse leaf]

I mean here in Spain Christmas is a big deal in terms of family reunions and stuff, but like Christmas itself is meaningless

[normal token]

Everyone likes ss news in December, I hope TC thinks the same

[uncut citrus]

depend how big the map is, but yeah ill say 300 at max then it would become a bit too much

[coarse leaf]

poor thing

[nimble radish]

every room has unique enemies

[coarse leaf]

the map will be quite big, but not anything crazy

[tame widget]

call me a fool, but what if the giant enemy spider from the very first trailer of Hollow Knight came back in Silksong & is the true final boss

[ancient spindle]

I'm bri ish so Christmas is supposed to be a big ish deal regardless of religion

[nimble radish]

did someone say fool and giant enemy spider

[marble marsh]

it just depends on how big the map is, which at a certain point the map could be too big, but I dont think team cherry will make the map too big

[ancient spindle]

I want the snail back.

[normal token]

That boss would just be a giant enemy fool anyways

[coarse leaf]

We hace ants, I'm happy with that

[marble marsh]

silksong needs snails

[uncut citrus]

[pearl meadow]

Silly person on the internet, there’s no such thing as “bri ish”

[feral dew]

i'm not waiting for any events anymore because in 2020 all news came from unexpected sources instead of events

[sage glade]

brit*sh

[ancient spindle]

Correct I lied I'm Canadian

[coarse leaf]

I'm enjoying Silk song. I'm happier then ever!

[marble marsh]

brtsh

[opaque sigil]

That's fair. SS doesn't really have a history of being at events aside from the demo, which was necessarily at events due to its nature

[cerulean tree]

brish

[nimble radish]

giant enemy fool, found in the snow monastery area

[opaque sigil]

The only conditions under which I'd really expect TC to want to be at an event are where they're showing the release date

[coarse leaf]

I'm gonna lose it if there's no official update on December

[ancient spindle]

For some reason the idea of one giant cavern that goes from the top to bottom of silksongs world has been stuck inside my head

[coarse leaf]

dont worry, there will be

[coarse leaf]

We thought the same with TGA xdd

[coarse leaf]

it's already released fool

i didnt

[cerulean tree]

there wont be im manifesting it

[tame widget]

what if ascending Pharloom lead us to The surface

[coarse leaf]

[ancient spindle]

[pale lion]

im just waiting for a direct at this rate instead of waiting for events

[wanton goblet]

[coarse leaf]

stop with those reactions you fools

[coarse leaf]

Not only TGA but every single event

[sage glade]

[ancient spindle]

The ending of the game is just hornet ordering a pizza after reaching the surface

[opaque sigil]

Directs have the same issues as other events

[tame widget]

then she fell of the stairs & dies

Would you want some sort of parallel to the abyss? Like an empty lifeless area or sorts

[opaque sigil]

No tbh

[lament lotus]

but she cant reach the counter because how tiny she is

[cerulean tree]

hornet pizza time

[hushed wasp]

just forget about it and itll go faster

[ancient spindle]

Ok we've focused on the pizza bit too much

[sinful flare]

wtf omri ref??!?! ? ? !!!!!!!???????

[opaque sigil]

At least I wouldn't want a lifeless area just for the sake of paying homage to that. If there is a good way to integrate a lifeless area then yeah I'm all for it

[hushed wasp]

romriori splers!!, :anrg:y?!!!

[sage glade]

hmm. i always thought you would start from the surface and climb the city but now i realize that doesn't really make any sense. there can't be a whole map sized building

[cerulean tree]

mari when

[tame widget]

that place with giant dead barnacles

[ancient spindle]

What about any sort of physical link to hallownest?

[marble marsh]

wall climb

[small goblet]

oh guys, what's your opinion on ss ending(s): how many, which kinds of events happen and such

[hushed wasp]

mari just had a skill issue lmao

[ancient spindle]

Idk like 3

[coarse leaf]

will SS have multiple endings like HK?

[sinful flare]

5324 endings pantheon 69 with silksong heart

[cerulean tree]

mari got nerfed

[marble marsh]

I would like 5 endings (the same amount as hk disregarding mistermushroom)

[trim estuary]

likely

[nimble radish]

hollow knight has 3 real endings, and two ending variants

[marble marsh]

well hk actually has 4, 3 normal , 1 godhome, 1 different godhome (delicate flower)

[nimble radish]

they're achieved in almost exactly the same way, just a different cutscene plays

[small goblet]

they both might be at the same garden in someone's home in adelaide

[tawdry valley]

Hollow knight has no real endings and 5 variants

[formal karma]

no... just no

[nimble radish]

variants of what

[ancient spindle]

The final boss will be Ari Gibson with a weed Wacker

[marble marsh]

and technically there are 2 normal ones bc sealed siblings is a variant of the "hollow knight" ending

Elderbug is chad enough to not get affected by the radiance even after this

[burnt topaz]

It makes him stronger

[ancient spindle]

If you were to have any character from HK return who would it be (for the love of god do not say hornet)

[marble marsh]

it makes him immune to the infection

[burnt topaz]

Ogrim

menderbug

Or Bretta or something

[ancient spindle]

That's the thicc bug in kingdom's edge right?

[elder lake]

okay be honest how many of you actually think there'll be news tommorow

[burnt topaz]

Mr mushroom is almost definitely gonna be in it so saying him feels redundant

[coarse leaf]

Hornet

[ancient spindle]

I think bretta or Grimm are the only ones that makes sense

[ancient spindle]

No.

[pale lion]

i do not believe there will be any news

[small goblet]

grimm troupe, definitely

[sage glade]

i don't but if there was then that's pleasant

[coarse leaf]

how is bretta surviving in the wild making sense

[cerulean tree]

definitely the little mushroom baby fucks that couldnt damage you

[serene chasm]

dumb luck

[ancient spindle]

How does her being alive in the first place work?

[burnt topaz]

I hated the grimm troupe quest, those damn mini bosses were so annoying but the grimm fights were worth it

[uncut citrus]

she survived zote, i think she can do it

[sage glade]

modern aspids

[marble marsh]

zote will be in silksong

[ancient spindle]

Cease vile being. Repugnant take

[coarse leaf]

just watched the reveal trailer.... sad again

[serene chasm]

I like the idea of there being a few small references to some characters. But I dont care to see anyone from HK. I want to meet new bugs

[coarse leaf]

Yeah he is. I've been playing SS alot lately since it just released and he's there.

good solution is hk's characters' relatives

zote's dad or something idk

[sage glade]

how do you think they could possibly incorporate those references? the setting is completely different

[hushed wasp]

i hope tools wont be like charms where 90% of them are useless

[lament lotus]

i wish zotes dad is in silksong

[marble marsh]

oh thats good to know so I can bully zote even more

[ancient spindle]

I'll have you know only 70% are useless

[cerulean tree]

as you can see walter white from the hit show Breaking Bad is also upset that there has been no silksong news for quite some time now

[ancient spindle]

Lemme guess.... East coast?

[serene chasm]

One of my ideas is that Hornet finds a group of bugs who are really into these Grey Prince stories from an unknown author. Or another would be for her to meet Menderberri, who is excited to see Menderbug at Menderbash.

[dusty nimbus]

[marble marsh]

no, west coast

[ancient spindle]

Omg I love it I want it in my face

[tawdry valley]

Impossible, sadly

[sage glade]

that's interesting honestly, the grey prince one

[trim estuary]

what

[cerulean tree]

you want a group of zote fans to live in your face?

[tawdry valley]

@serene chasm #hk-discussion message

[trim estuary]

Luckily*

[ancient spindle]

Y'know I just... I just...

[trim estuary]

It wouldn’t matter if we never see the result of Mendberri going to Menderbash

[ancient spindle]

Fun to think about but good point

[serene chasm]

The grey prince one doesnt work then, but Menderberri one would still work.

[tawdry valley]

Yes

[marble marsh]

but menderbug dies

[trim estuary]

Not always

[ancient spindle]

I wantvthe zote one now

[trim estuary]

No you do not

[tawdry valley]

1: read the above link
2: regardless of death, his stories were still written

[marble marsh]

so the menderbug death is a fake "ending"

[sage glade]

bendermug

[nimble radish]

menderberri would have to be in pharloom though right

[trim estuary]

No, it’s just no ending is canon. Menderbug writes his journal anyway, whether you kill him or not. You could get sealed siblings or DMN and whether you killed menderbug or not is technically an ending as well

[ancient spindle]

Show me evidence he writes if you don't kill him

[burnt topaz]

he has to write it before he dies

[ancient spindle]

Or does he?

[trim estuary]

He can’t write if he’s dead???

[marble marsh]

yea, that just seems kinda hard to make work because hornet is trapped in the black egg in sealed siblings ending

[burnt topaz]

i like how this implies that the menderbash is a worldwide event that menderbugs from all kingdoms go to

[trim estuary]

What does that have to do with menderbug??

[marble marsh]

nothing

[trim estuary]

would enjoy that

Someone get the Sealed Sibling wall of text

pharloom isnt that far from hollownest its just that you forget stuff when traveling through the areas around hollownest or pharloom

[wanton crest]

Fordo is a person

[magic cliff]

alright so correct me if Im wrong but december division is expecting a december blog post right

[cunning geode]

That’s like a third true, but not really right

[sage glade]

it's actually hornet's twin who's in the egg in sealed siblings

[normal token]

Fordo is best clone

[trim estuary]

This is where we pose the question: Are clones people?

[marsh ibex]

Based on the opening cutscene of silksong, there is a great distance between pharloom and hallownest

So nein

[tawdry valley]

They’re desperate to get something in 2020 so they’ve conjured up something remotely plausible to rally around

[wanton crest]

after reflexion i decided to review my clam:
Fordo is a living entity

[languid linden]

Yeah

[formal kelp]

no news 1 year anniversery tomorrow right? how shall we celebrate

[magic cliff]

aha thats silly

[cunning geode]

Pharloom is a long trek from Hallownest. Hallownest has this thing where bugs who were given “intelligence” by the Pale King in the kingdom lose their memories when they leave

[pale lion]

wasn't there seals of binding on the cage thingy hornet was in so that could be the reason she doesnt loose her memories ?

[tawdry valley]

Our pfps are related, what does that make me

[magic cliff]

[sinful flare]

true i agree

[magic cliff]

every second that goes by with no silksong news I die

[marble marsh]

[magic cliff]

please I dont want to die please team cherry

[small goblet]

rip 350 * 24 * 60 * 60 times

[marble marsh]

rip @magic cliff

[magic cliff]

you cant die twice it cancels out the deaths and you live

[small goblet]

seki-

[magic cliff]

only dead on odd seconds

[burnt topaz]

15120000 this many times factoring in every other death

[marble marsh]

does it feel like lag?

[magic cliff]

no because there is a 1 second delay on dying so it just feels normal

[marble marsh]

oh

[magic cliff]

but if team cherry released silksong news on an odd number of seconds the death doesnt get cancelled out and I die for good

[marble marsh]

rip

[magic cliff]

🙏🙏🙏

[marble marsh]

but what if they release it on a even second, but you figure out on an odd second

[sinful flare]

true i agree

[magic cliff]

I would live

[marble marsh]

so even if you dont know about it, it still counts

[magic cliff]

yes

[remote ridge]

Team cherry has forsaken us.

[mystic mulch]

[burnt topaz]

[small goblet]

of course nothing happened

[sinful flare]

yeah i played terraria today

[burnt topaz]

nothing ever happens

[ornate fiber]

in 2018 and 2019 TC did a blogpost on the 13th

[small goblet]

well december is our last chance for ss news in 2021

[tame widget]

unless Team Cherry do something for christmas but that's less likely

[opaque sigil]

That's... in December

[sinful flare]

all i want for christmas is

[marble marsh]

silksong

[sinful flare]

nothing because im not chri

[ornate fiber]

when did the edge thing came out last year ?

[small goblet]

s pratt

[marble marsh]

same but I have christian relatives so i still get stuff for christmas

[small goblet]

31 dec

[sinful flare]

i wanna be chris pratt one day..........

[trim estuary]

no Christmas was rescheduled for January 25th next year for this year

[small goblet]

why do i keep updating https://www.teamcherry.com.au for no reason

[ancient spindle]

Maybe covid delayed news on the 13fh

[small goblet]

they said pandemic didn't impact them

[trim estuary]

much

[ancient spindle]

Nah ik I'm just saying stuff at this point

[small goblet]

well not that much that they can't write "all cool, we have a release date that we're gonna tell a bit later"

[marble marsh]

team cherry rebranded themselvess to team berry and we are checking the wrong company

[sage glade]

didn't their website crash last christmas?

[warm bone]

yes

[sage glade]

history is gonna repeat im guessing

[remote ridge]

dude ur right. just checked and silkson was released 2 years ago

[tame widget]

might happen again

[opaque sigil]

They have a new host now so their site may be a bit more robust

[warm bone]

but it would be funny

[trim estuary]

Hopefully won’t crash when 2 people visit it now

[marble marsh]

wait maybe I was checking the wrong team berry aswell

[coarse leaf]

the website looks more solid than a while ago thats true

[primal oriole]

it would be great if we crashed the website immediately before they were about to post the blogpost

[remote ridge]

in all seriousness. if theyve beenw working this long the game is going to be massive with loads of things!@

[warm bone]

not really that long

[fallow rock]

because you hope one day that there might be a silksong update but in truth there is no silksong news because they forgot about and left to endlessly talk about a unfinished game that will and never be released to the world at large leaving us with nothing but our thoughts and endless feelings to ponder on the rest of existence to for we had wasted it for a fucking metriodvania squeal game that never fucking come out

[warm bone]

but yeah is going to be cool

[marble marsh]

I want silksong rn, but the longer we wait the more we get

[coarse leaf]

the more alopecia we get

[remote ridge]

yeah. if mean if the leaked date is true. im happy

[sage glade]

so leth and graig have been trolling this whole time

[trim estuary]

Didnt TC say it’s already bigger than HK

[small goblet]

they did i think

[marble marsh]

tbh I just want a release date

[small goblet]

i'm scared how big the game would be if by dec 2019 there were almost 170 unique enemies

[opaque sigil]

Only that it had a higher enemy count but a stated intent is to make it match/exceed the scale of HK

[remote ridge]

damn. nice. i think they also said that for hollow knight they sort of had like a budget. and well with this one they already have alot of resources

[formal beacon]

they prob stopped at about 250

[marble marsh]

it will be so big that the top any% speedrun will take 20 hours

[small goblet]

at least quartile (what is it called in english idk) of 2021

[sage glade]

also no backers to appease so no deadline

[formal beacon]

thats my guess at least

[opaque sigil]

I can't think of an instance of their saying that SS was, at the time, larger than HK (though it probably is by now)

[fallow rock]

like justin roland and the guy who made stanley parable

[tame widget]

I guess Silksong was done a while ago, but because Team Cherry is awesome, they told themselves: "let's put some more contents in it"

[rose onyx]

silksong has backers

[remote ridge]

??

[sage glade]

huh?

[marble marsh]

quarter?

[small goblet]

i guess, thanks

[sage glade]

talking about accounting plus?

[trim estuary]

Yeah, the HK backers who didn’t get their content in the game will get it in Ss

[remote ridge]

silksong looks amazing. the platforming is going to be amazing

[rose onyx]

Yea, the entirety of Greymoor's concept was made by a backer iirc, and some of the other bosses like Sharpe and Carmelita aswell(?)

[small goblet]

imagine pop of ss

[opaque sigil]

SS isn't backer funded

[sage glade]

yeah but aren't those the backers from the old campaign or have they done a new one?

[fallow rock]

yeah and that shit sucks ass

[trim estuary]

Hornet DLC???/?/

[rose onyx]

I don't recall

[opaque sigil]

They were from the HK kickstarter but weren't used there

[tame widget]

you know what woud be cool in Silksong?
Scorpions

[gray lance]

SS is free to HK backers because the Hornet content was originally a HK dlc

So sort of backer funded

[remote ridge]

yess

[sage glade]

i only know about it from matpat who said he found something but then never followed up

[small goblet]

oh wait it is free for backers? woah

[marble marsh]

that would be cool

[opaque sigil]

The actual resources being expended in the course of developing SS don't come from backers, they come from TC's own profits

[remote ridge]

unlimited resources!

[gray lance]

Nah HK was funded by their grandmas and the backer money went into delaying SS until 2030

[opaque sigil]

Effectually, probably

[marble marsh]
