sk-discussion

[cunning geode]

this is going on the Wall of Jokerisms

[serene chasm]

17 year olds are assholes

[turbid kite]

it'd be wild if people fully went after children for being children

[coarse leaf]

Some people do

Egh...there's alot of bad kids.

Thing is, alot of people confuse youthful selfishness for genuine malice yeah, but there are genuine 12 year old psycopaths.

[turbid kite]

then again. people keep telling me to pick on people my own size, and i am middle-schooler sized

[radiant wraith]

Ageism

[marsh ibex]

prove it

[marsh ibex]

True

[serene chasm]

12 year olds have grimm pfps

[surreal mortar]

Ok like if you’re a murderer sure but like, you’re not emotionally mature when you’re 12 so you can’t really judge them at that point

[radiant wraith]

Last time I said something bad about Grimm pfps I regretted it

[turbid kite]

being 12 does not make you inherently evil (debatable)
having a grimm pfp makes you inherently evil (hard fact)

[coarse leaf]

Some people judge them

[analog forge]

Grimm pfps smell

[radiant wraith]

There was someone with a Grimm pfp and I felt so bad

[surreal mortar]

You can judge them but there is a point where you’re just the bad person

[turbid kite]

you're giving too much serious thought on this comparatively

[hollow terrace]

Dw they were banned for harassment

[sterile sleet]

Being 12 does mean that half of your brain is not developed

[serene chasm]

Dont feel bad for people with grimm pfp

[fleet temple]

the worst ones are grimm oc pfps

[surreal mortar]

Oh god

[coarse leaf]

Whose grimm?

[turbid kite]

your m

[surreal mortar]

Bruh beat the game lol

[serene chasm]

[marsh ibex]

who me?

[turbid kite]

yeah

[young saffron]

GM any silksong news

[fleet temple]

yes

[turbid kite]

no

[analog forge]

No, troupe master grimm

[radiant wraith]

Grimm Hollow Knight

[surreal mortar]

Ok by the point you’re 15 maybe a bitta cop but when you’re like 12, nah

[crystal inlet]

nightmare king grimm more like- grimm

[coarse leaf]

Anyway I ask because I can think of like 30 Grimms in media.

[marsh ibex]

STOP MUTING ME

[coarse leaf]

Some people still want children to be acting better then

[covert flare]

These are a base design

[serene chasm]

why did you post that 3 times

[cunning geode]

yeah

[surreal mortar]

Why do the mantis tribe store their fingers

[radiant wraith]

The same reason we do

[cunning geode]

so they dont get stale

[serene chasm]

also #art-discussion would be a better place to post stuff like that

[young saffron]

What

[surreal mortar]

Yo you got the collection?

[fleet temple]

in case their old ones break

[languid linden]

I know some middle schoolers who are like 5'10

[radiant wraith]

Sorry, I'm only allowed to show it to family

[serene chasm]

I was probably about that tall in middle school

[surreal mortar]

Bro I’m not even 5’9

Wtf

[young saffron]

I'm like 5'4 💀

[serene chasm]

You are all tiny

[untold inlet]

[radiant wraith]

Imma have to watch my step in this chat

[untold inlet]

[surreal mortar]

Sitting around a comfortable 6’6

[young saffron]

[marsh ibex]

Don’t worry guys

Let me let you in on a secret

Zaliant?

[cunning geode]

[surreal mortar]

Yeah I mean so technically… I’m like 5’8 but if you carry the one and round it up plus shoe size I’m really like 6’3

[marsh ibex]

And wombat

Wombat doesn’t exist

They’re a figment of our imagination

[cunning geode]

thats a shame

[fleet temple]

huh, weird it says there are only 10 mods now

[calm night]

Immagine measuring with feet

[surreal mortar]

We measuring with hands

[radiant wraith]

Use leagues like normal people

[narrow lava]

thats an age

[surreal mortar]

yeah I’m about 23 hands tall

[radiant wraith]

Cubits are acceptable too

[young saffron]

[narrow lava]

pay me no heed, I am a jester who speaks nonsense

[radiant wraith]

I am alive

[surreal mortar]

I am 0.000324 nautical leagues tall

[young saffron]

silksong info will come tdy guys its dec 13

[narrow lava]

I would prefer not ||joking ofcourse ||

[radiant wraith]

As you say Dreamer

You know what happens to Dreamers right?

Let me tell you the story of Herrah the Beast

[narrow lava]

they get dream nailed

[languid linden]

It's not a story the Pale King would tell you

[surreal mortar]

Yeah Silksong news in a few hours everybody east of Miami get some sleep 👍

[fallow rock]

hey guys i wonder how painful the white lady was in when she was giving brother to the vessels

[opaque sigil]

Don't mind the public memorial, this was all very hush-hush

[untold inlet]

i will enjoy some pessimist gloating tomorrow

(or maybe soft chuckling since i'm sick and gloating would hurt)

[radiant wraith]

dang #hk-lore regulars

[stone wyvern]

no way is that captain fordo from the hit series star wars the clone wars (2003)

[covert flare]

my cel phone doesn´t work very well

[coarse leaf]

Nah, that's Captain Fordo from the hit series Hollow Knight

[marsh ibex]

to be fair, he didn’t loudly proclaim how he boinked her

[surreal mortar]

What do #hk-lore people even talk about. Like any conversation is instantly shut down by the regulars

[coarse leaf]

They talk about

[fallow rock]

lore

[coarse leaf]

and

[narrow lava]

also, just noticed your pfp tammo, nice to see that there are at least 2 other FE fans here

[surreal mortar]

Ok so the snail shamans are void

[marsh ibex]

they’re not, but I don’t wanna explain why

seethe and cope cookie cat from outer spac

[surreal mortar]

I insist the snail shamans are void

[slate wagon]

I agree with cookie cat

[marsh ibex]

I insist you are not from outer space

[narrow lava]

snail shaman is snail

https://tenor.com/view/math-meme-math-is-math-meme-mr-incredible-the-incredibles-the-incredibles2-gif-20591317

[surreal mortar]

They are black

[opaque sigil]

Yeah gonna need to see some evidence on that one

[marsh ibex]

I’m black too

Does that make me void?

[opaque sigil]

Damn I guess

[surreal mortar]

Someone boutta paste the entire google doc on me

[radiant wraith]

Well actually, according to Greben's principle of Predicates-

[marsh ibex]

pog

[opaque sigil]

Enjoy immortality, Joker

[fleet temple]

so, when it is night time, is the sky void?

[fallow rock]

yeah and had to give birth to the vessel and see them get thorwing away to baby trash pit

[surreal mortar]

No no snail shamans are leaky

[narrow lava]

thats pretty pog crazy

[surreal mortar]

With black juice

[radiant wraith]

Snail Shamans being void is a myth spread by them to avoid being turned into escargot

[surreal mortar]

Hang on guys I’m gonna fuck with the lore regulars real quick

[fallow rock]

they and lace are made of void

[radiant wraith]

Don't fight them in their turf

[surreal mortar]

Check lore

[trim estuary]

Lace isn’t void but Sharpe is

[narrow lava]

lore thumps are not to be trifled with

[radiant wraith]

Sharpe is a liar

[opaque sigil]

Don't post things in #hk-lore just to provoke people

[analog forge]

Sharpe isnt void either

Pretty sure that was confirmed somewhere

[trim estuary]

Someone’s getting muted 🗿

[surreal mortar]

Bro I just got censored by the mod team lol

[analog forge]

Good!

[radiant wraith]

Don't fight them in their turf I said

[analog forge]

You deserver it

[narrow lava]

did you actually get muted there?

[surreal mortar]

No fun allowed

Nah but my extensive evidence was deleted

[opaque sigil]

That's a gross misinterpretation of the situation

[slate wagon]

You're a gross misinterpretation

[trim estuary]

We should talk about how sharpe is void

[narrow lava]

you call it "evidence" we call it the ramblings of an insane person

[analog forge]

Look, sharpe is clearly made of sugon

[surreal mortar]

sugon????????

[analog forge]

Sugon dese nuts

[surreal mortar]

I wanted to give you a win tonight

[narrow lava]

YOU FELL FOR THE Classic blunder

[coarse leaf]

My existence is just a misinterpretation

[surreal mortar]

I feel like my free trial of life is ending ngl

🦏

[coarse leaf]

Well, just pay to continue

[narrow lava]

just pay 60$ so ez

[surreal mortar]

Bro I’m not paying for this shit

[coarse leaf]

You are

[analog forge]

If you think about, the first 18 years of your life are a free trial

[surreal mortar]

Case and point

[coarse leaf]

Actually true but no

[narrow lava]

you said just pay, I saud just pay 60$, im being informative so dont snail me sir

[languid linden]

Wanna know what I got muted for 25 hours for posting in #hk-lore?

[surreal mortar]

I’ve been muted a few times lol

[turbid kite]

[narrow lava]

uhm

[coarse leaf]

I've never been muted bcz I'm cool

[coarse leaf]

Selling NFTs.

[narrow lava]

tell me in the DM's foo

[languid linden]

It was an image of a cannon

[coarse leaf]

And bcz I follow the rules

[surreal mortar]

no memes in general

[young saffron]

Damn ppl are rly going insane with silksong

[slate wagon]

A grave criminal offense

[opaque sigil]

Powdered never passes up the opportunity to mute somebody

[languid linden]

Because someone misspelled canon

[young saffron]

Any new video about silksong is filled with ppl who have "played" it

[coarse leaf]

🍿

[analog forge]

Ill blow you away with my headcannon

[languid linden]

I wouldn't say that's quite true, because if it was all us regulars would be banned

[coarse leaf]

I’m not kidding - actually eating popcorn

[radiant wraith]

Good for you

[languid linden]

I'm watching that video on the politics of star wars

[coarse leaf]

Thank you!

[surreal mortar]

Some people take modding a bit too seriously though yk. Luckily most of the mods here are chill

[young saffron]

o w o

[surreal mortar]

Shout out to ttaco

[turbid kite]

i don't mod lore because i would also end up muting everyone

[coarse leaf]

Based sock!

[languid linden]

No you'd just go insane

[turbid kite]

also yeah ttacco is nice

[turbid kite]

yeah and i'd take everyone down with me

[languid linden]

Okay but you can't because we already are insane

[radiant wraith]

Inductiveness detected
Initializing mute initiative

[turbid kite]

no i'd just mute you??

[eager canyon]

@turbid kite where do you find the link to get the hollow knight mod installer

[turbid kite]

#archived-modding-help

[languid linden]

You're not taking us down with you, we're taking you down with us

[slate wagon]

What if we mute you first, sock?

[turbid kite]

i'd ask where you've been all my life, only muting me now

[coarse leaf]

Sock can't be muted bcz he's a gamer

[slate wagon]

I believe we call that
Unplugging the internet

[coarse leaf]

Some mods already tried to mute him, but they weren't real gamers compared to Sock.

[narrow lava]

I leave for just a second and a mod is talking about mutes

[radiant wraith]

Typical orange behavior

[turbid kite]

if you could look at the logs it'd just be a wall of me and joker battling to mute eachother

too bad he's not strong enough

you have to hear me say stupid stuff instead

[coarse leaf]

So we can say that Joker is the most muted person in the server?

[turbid kite]

no that would be me

[coarse leaf]

Other than me, yup!

[coarse leaf]

How much mutes? 10, 100?

[surreal mortar]

Where’s the communal mod harddrive

[turbid kite]

so many

all mod stuff is in #archived-modding-help pins

[coarse leaf]

"so many" isn't exactly a number tho

[turbid kite]

ok nerd

what are you. a mathematician?

[surreal mortar]

📸

[turbid kite]

hey that's unauthorized photography

[coarse leaf]

No, but it's valid information, and everyone in this server should know about how much mutes did you get in this server

[surreal mortar]

the internet is forever

[turbid kite]

they were manual mutes so i have no clue

[surreal mortar]

Gonna submit this on your next resume

[turbid kite]

finally, something to bulk out my empty resume

[coarse leaf]

So we could say that Sock has been muted 13257 times in Hollowcord?!

[surreal mortar]

• Modded on Silksong discussion discord for 2 years

[wide arrow]

How do you do fellow kids

[turbid kite]

it's only been 1 year at most

i also don't go in here most of the time because i have self-esteem

[radiant wraith]

For your information, I'm human

[coarse leaf]

Wdym, I see you in #art-discussion every single day

[surreal mortar]

Fair. I pop in here maybe once a month or when I’m procrastinating stuff

[turbid kite]

that's a recent development
for a while i was only in hk-discussion

i just choose a channel to lurk in for 2 weeks and then switch

[wide arrow]

How many socks can you wear at once

[turbid kite]

so many

[surreal mortar]

I kinda like this channel cause nobody takes it seriously anymore. Like I could not deal with #hk-lore or something

[turbid kite]

no one can deal with lore

[radiant wraith]

#hk-lore discussion is best when there's some sort of seriousness

[wide arrow]

That's why we have Kirb

[turbid kite]

may they rest in peace

[coarse leaf]

Nah, I would just discuss about lore in #hk-discussion instead

[marsh ibex]

I hate lore

I hate this server

[turbid kite]

tgat;s what i do 😎

[marsh ibex]

free me

free me from this eternal suffering

[turbid kite]

kick joker back into the lore pit

[marsh ibex]

p l e a s e

[wide arrow]

Hey so what's the December division

[radiant wraith]

Every time I was about to post in #hk-lore I ended up checking the docs and looking up messages until I didn't have the question anymore, I guess fear worked?

[marsh ibex]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[surreal mortar]

@turbid kite do you ever like face time Simo for the craic

[turbid kite]

YOOO joker in meme duty

[trim estuary]

December News tomorrow

[turbid kite]

i don't face time anyone because that would require showing my face

[coarse leaf]

Joker is in meme duty until:

10.000 days from now

[wide arrow]

Who's joker

[coarse leaf]

The one and only

[radiant wraith]

Mortal Kombat character I think

[turbid kite]

your mod

[wide arrow]

Joker mom

[opaque sigil]

This guy is Joker

[coarse leaf]

That person isn't Joker from Mortal Kombat

[radiant wraith]

What?!

[turbid kite]

joker from hollow kngiht lore

[surreal mortar]

What’s the actual brief as a moderator? Do you just like show up in channels or go wherever or does Simo have your family at ransom

[radiant wraith]

From Injustice?!

[coarse leaf]

That person is Joker from Persona 5 (Also known as Joker in the Joker movie)

[wide arrow]

The latter

[turbid kite]

you just moderate where you want, when you want. it's a volunteer thing

[sweet bluff]

Definitely the 2nd part

[surreal mortar]

Getting payed big bucks

[coarse leaf]

I don't think anyone wants to moderate #hk-lore

[turbid kite]

simo doesn't have my family at ransom but benji has my cats

[surreal mortar]

Yoooo Simo dms

[marsh ibex]

We also get free chicken nuggets

[turbid kite]

i think its like spicy food to them

[coarse leaf]

Grinding mutes?

[turbid kite]

no just moderating lore and feeling their blood pressure skyrocket

[coarse leaf]

I didn't know that people in #hk-lore had blood tbh

[languid linden]

We don't

[feral falcon]

Hello everyone, so let me update you guys of my Lace Pixel art that I was doing: it was cancelled, I just can't draw her lol, so I'll probably do some Menderbug art tomorrow

[turbid kite]

classic artists

[vapid carbon]

So sherma huh?

[surreal mortar]

Just got a DM from Simo so we’re basically close personal friends now 👍

[sweet bluff]

Ok but who moderates #hk-meme

[turbid kite]

no one

[marsh ibex]

Me sometimes

[coarse leaf]

Yoooo, maybe Simo will reveal one of his biggest secrets!

[turbid kite]

no yekane that's unethical

[surreal mortar]

Just letting you guys know in advance I’m gonna be assuming your positions

[sweet bluff]

Yo?

[turbid kite]

i'm licherally art staff

[coarse leaf]

(one of them is that everyone are actually Simo's alts)

[turbid kite]

i wish i was simply an alt instead of

[radiant wraith]

I'm at (1.222, 45.02, 12.255)

[coarse leaf]

an alt but with it's own will

[turbid kite]

that would be so fucked up. don't give me sentience or free will

[sweet bluff]

I wish i just didnt exist

[surreal mortar]

I’m in the mid pacific rn so I’ll get to you as soon as I can but no promises

[turbid kite]

simply do not perceive me

oh no actually i'm ok with being sentient but i have to look like death from death's gambit

[marsh ibex]

Oh shit

I can remove sock’s art staff role lmao

[coarse leaf]

But one of them is literally bcz Sock gave us GrubU

[sweet bluff]

[turbid kite]

JOEKR ?? ??

[sweet bluff]

[marsh ibex]

For the culture

[turbid kite]

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, of course

[turbid kite]

[surreal mortar]

Ok I’m heading out for the night, got stuff to do tomorrow, cya guys later

[marsh ibex]

Art staff sock is gone

[turbid kite]

[sweet bluff]

Nice! this is #sk-discussion lmao

[coarse leaf]

Ok Sock, it's time

[torpid fractal]

wow thats a great silksong leak

[coarse leaf]

where's 4KgrubU?

[radiant wraith]

#sk-discussion is for every topic except the original Hollow Knight hilariously

[sweet bluff]

[turbid kite]

:(

[torpid fractal]

yup

[sweet bluff]

i watched him remove it

[coarse leaf]

Show me that thing, like, right now!!

[turbid kite]

no it was me

[torpid fractal]

at this point they should just remove hk-offtopic

[radiant wraith]

Joker given power

[marsh ibex]

Sock is a grape again

[turbid kite]

thank you

[coarse leaf]

I thought he was a frog

[turbid kite]

grapefrog

wow joker, you muted yekane too? that's so fucked up

don't look at audit logs just trust me

[hollow terrace]

yekane i need to tell you the truth

[turbid kite]

yekane is actually a bot

[coarse leaf]

You're not a shark?

[hollow terrace]

I dont rp so yes im not a shark

[turbid kite]

loser

[hollow terrace]

youre not a sentient sock either >:(

[coarse leaf]

Too many moderators!

[turbid kite]

not enough moderators

[coarse leaf]

(Now’s my cue to join!)

[turbid kite]

i would never rp being a sentient sock i would rp being a cat that's so stupid

[coarse leaf]

Joker isn't joker
Sock isn't a sock
Windows isn't a window or either a shark
What's going to happen next? Lazy is not actually lazy??

[turbid kite]

well. have you seen lazy

[coarse leaf]

No

[turbid kite]

it's because he's

i think unique and joker should switch names

[hollow terrace]

Lazy is a student studying biology I think???

[coarse leaf]

I mean, he could be watching this conversation rn and no one can see it

[turbid kite]

literlaly like half of the mod team is biology ppl

[hollow terrace]

the poor man's college degree

[turbid kite]

all college degrees make you poor man

stop getting educated and just run off into the woods, never to be seen again

[coarse leaf]

You don't get internet on the woods though

[turbid kite]

and then a few weeks later there are ominous sightings of a new beast crawling through the woods

become a cryptid and the internet will come to you

[hollow terrace]

the world's gonna collapse with climate change and all anyways

[turbid kite]

it's taking too long

[coarse leaf]

Wait, but if you're a beast, maybe you could survive in space??

[turbid kite]

guys lets go tip the iceberg

[coarse leaf]

Sock, it's too cold there

[turbid kite]

stop sitting around. be proactive. speed up the rate of climate change and help the ocean swallow this sinful world

[coarse leaf]

Again, it's too cold there

[hollow terrace]

make the air unbreathable

[turbid kite]

spray axe

agent orange who? bodyspray.

[high hedge]

Agent Orange should be an axe body spray scent, just to see how long till anyone notices

[coarse leaf]

This is slowly becoming Don't Starve

[gray lance]

"This deodorant kinda smells like a government conspiracy..."

[hollow terrace]

you mean

[turbid kite]

tbh i am kind of hungry

[hollow terrace]

Don't Starve without silksong news?

aimirite folks??? I did it again

[turbid kite]

you get silksong if you shave a spider

[gray lance]

Truly the aristotle of modern comedy

[turbid kite]

if you dust the forgotten corners of your house, you will acquire silksong

[coarse leaf]

you get silksong if you play as strong axe

[coarse leaf]

I have pizza right here! Do you want one?

Oh! Too late, there's no pizza anymore.

[turbid kite]

rp eating pizza instead of going downstairs and heating up food

wow

that's kind of fucked up

[coarse leaf]

It's not my fault

[turbid kite]

thankfully i only eat my own homemade pizza because i'm very cool like that

[coarse leaf]

I mean, it was a homemade pizza

[turbid kite]

my OWN homemade pizza

[coarse leaf]

Exactly, I had your OWN homemade pizza

[turbid kite]

wait

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, exactly

hey guys

wht up

Nothing

[slate wagon]

The ceiling

[nimble radish]

nearly all dnt strv character have name that start iwth a "w

[coarse leaf]

Every Don't Starve character have a name that starts with "W"

[frank sparrow]

oh you're a dst fan? name every character with a name that starts with w

[hollow terrace]

Window, Wombat, Water

[nimble radish]

technically yes but maxwell's real name is not important

[hollow terrace]

I demand my free nitro thank you very much

[nimble radish]

you are all dst characters

[coarse leaf]

||Wilson, Willow, Webber, Wagstaff, Wolfgang, Wendy, Wormwood, Wilba, Wilbur, Wortox, Wanda, etc||

[upper coral]

etc doesnt start with a w

[nimble radish]

is it really a spoiler

[coarse leaf]

I mean, yeah, ig so

[frank sparrow]

cool beans is correct

[nimble radish]

M is just an upside down W which is why Maxwell is ok

[coarse leaf]

But Don't Starve lore and stuff

[coarse leaf]

I just find it funny how the devs didn't run out of names with "W" at this point

[tawdry valley]

Don't starve lore:
everyones kinda fucked up or did something fucked up. Or both

[nimble radish]

Waxmell

[hollow terrace]

based names, they start with dubs

[coarse leaf]

Uh, hey, but it's a cool little singleplayer/multiplayer game

[nimble radish]

most of them aren't real names, that makes it easier

[hollow terrace]

we dont care about the lore/story of these games

that why I like silksong

[coarse leaf]

Bcz of the lore?

[coarse leaf]

Wilson, Willow and Maxwell are real names tho

[young saffron]

dec 13..

[weary siren]

you should go onto r/hollowknightmemes right now they are going insane and its hilarious in my eyes. also theres actually some really cool boss and area concepts being made

[opaque sigil]

Ew reddit

[coarse leaf]

Ew lore

[hollow terrace]

ahem

im sorry but we got new management

[nimble radish]

reddit isn't real reddit isn't real reddit isn't real

[weary siren]

are you calling attention to your bait message in order to get people to argue with you

[split tide]

I don’t like this new management

[weary siren]

that's a new level of sad i cant lie

[nimble radish]

you should go onto r/hollowknightmemes

[weary siren]

youre right im the fool.

[hollow terrace]

of course not, im saying

[coarse leaf]

Wait, we can't discuss about SS (thing) anymore?

[hollow terrace]

^

[weary siren]

i think i will leave ive made enough of a fool of myself here. goodbye

[hollow terrace]

we're sticking solely to when news

[coarse leaf]

So we can't discuss about lore until we get news?

[young saffron]

the entire yt comment section of hk is going insane as well 💀

[hollow terrace]

you're stuck with "when news" topic even when silksong comes out

[young saffron]

reddit has leaked into yt and soon discord..

[coarse leaf]

I don't think that's going to happen

[hollow terrace]

people tried

but a chatty chat usually buries any wacky "new silksong bosses"

buries??

[coarse leaf]

Ok, uhhh, Joker as the new SS boss

That wouldn't work, but hey, ig it's something Silksong-related for once!

[young saffron]

im kinda glad TC didnt give much ss news

makes the game much more interesting as I know lik 1% of whats in the game 💀

[coarse leaf]

It doesn't spoil the game but damn, did you see this channel after TGA?

[dense anchor]

Almost 3 years since the announce... it's like almost AAA game lmao

[coarse leaf]

I mean, TC got a better budget to work with

[crystal inlet]

SS isn't real, everyone give up.

[split tide]

Yeah they’re under less financial pressure

[dense anchor]

More like, it become a meme... meh i hope for this Feb/March

[crystal inlet]

I genuinely don't think silksong will come til 2023.

[opaque sigil]

Quite plausibly not

[dense anchor]

I want to say that this make me quite pissed off, but, you know, why i have to do it. I gave up 6/7 months ago

[crystal inlet]

what was the development time for HK?

[coarse leaf]

5/6 years?

[coarse leaf]

I think development started in 2012 if I'm correct and ended in 2017

[opaque sigil]

Well, it really ended in 2018

[coarse leaf]

So pale knight is correct

[crystal inlet]

I assume it'll be like 6-8 years for silksong then.

not for it to come out but.

[coarse leaf]

It isn't going to be longer than 6 years, that's for sure

[dense anchor]

They present it 3 years ago with a gameplay, ok, this means that they started to developing before those date. But now i think they have their premade models, script etc... so maybe it will take less than 6 years if we aren't in the year 6 yet

[opaque sigil]

How is it for sure

[coarse leaf]

Well guess we're putting on our clown shoes again and waiting another 3 years

If it is longer than 6 years, it's probably happening some type of development hell

[opaque sigil]

Not necessarily

[coarse leaf]

I mean, yeah, but most of the cases, it kinda is

It’ll take as long as King of Cards

[marble marsh]

nah they just are adding zoteboat to silksong as an enitre different mode with an almost entire different map /j

[coarse leaf]

That's something that TC would not ironically do

[crystal inlet]

if there is no reference to zote I will be disappointed.

[coarse leaf]

So they would do it unironicly?

[crystal inlet]

If there is no reference to zote-boat I'll be getting a refund.

[coarse leaf]

There will be the 75 Excerpts of Trobbio!

[marble marsh]

silksong should have zotes father who is even more of a zote than zote himself

zate

[surreal crown]

I think the thing that's taking the longest is A: upgrading all the art to the new standard (based on the Edge shots we've seen changed), and B: playtesting and bugfixing.

[coarse leaf]

No, I meant like, they would add an incredible amount of content in SS

[coarse leaf]

Soul dude, holder of s o u p

Am I the only one who keeps forgetting that the Huntress exists, and whenever I remember them I get this huge load of… nostalgia?!? I don’t know what the feeling is!

[hollow sedge]

silksong will def be way larger then hollow knight at this point

judging from what Graig has said

[marble marsh]

I think playtesting, and the game is "finished" they are just adding stuff that if it released now without it, would be dlc, but instead are adding it all now

[hollow sedge]

the fact that they had 165 enemies 2 years ago is crazy

[coarse leaf]

TC is probably adding minor things as well as QoL stuff - and maybe some small bits of content while the playtesters analyze the game. TC has to wait for the feedback, ya know? That’s probably why they update HK and basically do other productive things. And testing should take a while due to the sheer scale of the game, as well as ALL those tools

[surreal crown]

fr, they likely had an amazing game on their hands a while back, can't imagine all the progress they've made since then.

[coarse leaf]

The game will blow us away, I’m sure of it!

[marble marsh]

silksong with 50 areas, 600 enemies, 40 bosses, 75 quests on release

[hollow sedge]

4 hours until its been 2 years since the last blogpost

[marble marsh]

oh

then silksong with 50 areas, 600 enemies, 80 bosses, and 100 quests on release

[coarse leaf]

I’m excited the most for the early game because it is the only part of Silksong’s content that I can ACTUALLY somewhat comprehend. I cannot even imagine how amazing the rest of the game will be

90 bosses. Not including second encounters.

[hollow sedge]

25 areas, 275 enemies sounds more realistic

[marble marsh]

silksong with 50 areas, 900 enemies, 75 bosses, 150 quests on release

[dense anchor]

bingo!

[marble marsh]

I think 250 is more realistic tbh

[coarse leaf]

• 20 refight bosses

[primal oriole]

10 of them are Sharpe

every time you fight him he runs 5 rooms away

[coarse leaf]

I want Sharpe’s theme to be played by a 9 year old using a recorder

[wanton goblet]

Or has 420 enemies and 69 bosses

[coarse leaf]

He trips on stuff as he’s being chased

I feel like we don’t nearly talk enough about the Last Judge

[primal oriole]

I'm most interested in whatever those flame rings are

[coarse leaf]

His whole arena and vibe looks and feels WAY different from other areas we’ve seen

[primal oriole]

because they seem to imply a invincibility frame ability

[coarse leaf]

Maybe fire in Silksong doesn’t do damage if you roll through it? Like running through fire swiftly in real life reduces the chances of actually getting caught on fire?

[proud dagger]

I mean we really just don’t have much to go off of with Last Judge

[coarse leaf]

I dunno

[primal oriole]

they look pretty similar to the library people

[coarse leaf]

The Last Judge just looks intimidating. His tall and lanky stature and the very weird environment

[silver oak]

We know that he likes mossbag

[primal oriole]

he just looks awkward to me, honestly

it's probably just that one frame

[crystal inlet]

what does TLJ look like?

[silver oak]

He's just sad

[silver oak]

Don't patronize him

[crystal inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/no-capes-gif-8052678

[coarse leaf]

NO! It would get caught on fire, you imbecile!

[young saffron]

Silksong enemies give me a dark soul vibe ngl

[silver oak]

or get sucked into a jet engine

[crystal inlet]

Hollow Knight had a more dark-soulsy vibe you're right.

[silver oak]

The most important insight from this is that Hornet somehow has a way to dodge walls of fire

[nimble steppe]

Dash through the flame

[coarse leaf]

Ok Sherlock, point to the water that is visible in the arena.

[young saffron]

@crystal inlet i mean like look at this enemy looks like a dark souls enemy ngl

[crystal inlet]

What if the fire guys-is actually not on fire?

[coarse leaf]

This lad is ALSO underdiscussed!

[analog forge]

Maybe the flame id like grimm spikes

[crystal inlet]

More bloodborne but you're still right, a better hollow knight character that looks like a dark souls enemy would be The Hollow Knight.

[young saffron]

hot

[coarse leaf]

Who, Trobbio? I agree

[primal oriole]

on the Last Judge lore, I think it probably has to do with Biblical judges

[serene chasm]

On a one grimmsteed open sleigh

[coarse leaf]

I HAVE AN IDEA!

What if Gossamer Storm can clear away flames?

[primal oriole]

which I think were war leaders during crises

this being the last one is interesting if that's what it's referring to

[serene chasm]

Trobbio is pretty cool

[young saffron]

dark souls.

[crystal inlet]

I hope trobbio is like zote- except he's a clown who can get things done.

[hard stratus]

light souls

[copper knot]

hi im back and i hope this server is not gonna become a shitshow like last time

[serene chasm]

it will

[proud vale]

Hello silk pals

[coarse leaf]

Shitshow?

OGRIM?!?!?

[serene chasm]

Hi Orange!

[copper knot]

im tired

[vagrant otter]

release date yet

[serene chasm]

Have a nap

[young saffron]

im curious about this boss tbh

[crystal inlet]

What if the final boss of Silksong is John Hollowknight?

[copper knot]

slept for too long, my head is spinning

[young saffron]

already released lmfao (I wish )
no info yet :/

[vagrant otter]

it better be the shade lord

[vagrant otter]

well.

[serene chasm]

make yourself a nice cup of tea

[nimble steppe]

[crystal inlet]

it's steve, from accounting. He's actually quite nice if you get the secret ability: Tax Evasion.

[young saffron]

wash your face with some water.

[copper knot]

already did, still felt so sick i might actually have to go to the hospital :/

[coarse leaf]

This pic goes so hard feel free to screenshot

[lament mauve]

Where did this come from?

[coarse leaf]

EDGE Magazine

[copper knot]

da mag

[serene chasm]

Hope it wont have to come to that. Go lay down if you arent feeling well.

[coarse leaf]

Remember APWOT?

[prime notch]

Why is some of the magazine stuff being posted now? Seems kinda late

[coarse leaf]

Why not? We just wanna discuss!

[young saffron]

Cause ppl are going insane..

[coarse leaf]

I’m actually very sane - I used to be insane, though!

[copper knot]

honestly i have a much less bright view of silksong after seeing how toxic the fans could be to the point of harassing people like graig and even me

[crystal inlet]

Is this server going through the great hollowing?

[prime notch]

Ahhh ok I wasn’t sure if some sort of statue of limitations going up and the pages could be released for free or something

[coarse leaf]

What happened to you?

[copper knot]

unsavory stuff

thats why i left

[coarse leaf]

[serene chasm]

wish you could ban people from ever playing a game ||now that I think about it, you can, but its not legal||

[young saffron]

what about this guy :o

[crystal inlet]

We should make fake lore-

[young saffron]

how would u do that ?

[copper knot]

honestly at this point i just dont wanna be associated with massive fandoms like hollow knight anymore

[young saffron]

reddit is already doing that lmfao (well sort of)

[copper knot]

people just suck yo

[crystal inlet]

its hard not to be tbh.

[primal oriole]

I am still cursed to see him as a moustache and a nose

[young saffron]

they are discussing fake areas to make it seem real so many game fanbases has done this.

[crystal inlet]

We can do it...but classier, we're a discord community! We need to have proper class and style.

[serene chasm]

[young saffron]

why?

[copper knot]

drama

[crystal inlet]

a game about bugs causes drama?

What is life anymore..

[young saffron]

"your ant bit me "

[serene chasm]

Best tip I can give, dont get involved in drama.

[proud vale]

Damn, is it two years since blog post today or tomorrow

[young saffron]

what if I like dram

[cosmic widget]

today in australia

[young saffron]

in australia its already 13th I believe it must be like 1pm? or 2pm I think

[proud vale]

Yeah it’s 1:21

[young saffron]

we can still hope ryt

[crystal inlet]

what if hornet is revealed to actually be Steve's son- steve is the real name of zote before he changed it..also holy flipstick.

[cosmic widget]

Maybe the Elden Ring fandom can spare us some of their humanity XD

[young saffron]

im just trying to finish terraria while silksong comes out

[serene chasm]

Liking a little bit of drama is ok, but getting yourself involved is very unhealthy.

[crystal inlet]

No.

[young saffron]

they are so lucky
They got 3 trailers and a release date

[crystal inlet]

Get your own dark souls nerds.

[coarse leaf]

Drama is honestly overrated. I don’t know why I try starting a lot of it

[serene chasm]

Please sir, we're ever so hungry

[raven minnow]

for people who have hope, (me for some reason) there should be an indie direct this month, but perhaps not, nintendo usually does on in december

[young saffron]

ew I hate getting involved just watch from the sides

[young saffron]

if leth just types the word E
i think ppl would go insane and speculate an update..

[analog forge]

Indie direct wont have silksong

[coarse leaf]

@ Leth#0001 can you say E

[analog forge]

You poor fools, you damn clowns

[fierce seal]

dude

[young saffron]

let us hope in peace
When is indie direct btw//

[raven minnow]

literally nno way to prove that

[crystal inlet]

if it is Silksong that thou desirest...patience and hollowing is needed.-Hornet Silksong, 2021.

[random granite]

last dec post went up at around 4-5 PM in adelaide, so like 3 and a half hours ish?

[young saffron]

Imagine TC becomes like EA.. imagine

[raven minnow]

no clue but last year it was the 15th and its not confirmed

[coarse leaf]

1 AM EST for those who are expecting a blogpost

[fierce seal]

wdym

[analog forge]

Nintendo wont fucking kill all their other indies by showing silksong

[crystal inlet]

You need to buy a lootbox to get the secret void heart charm?

[young saffron]

buggy, unfinished game with crazy prices

after all these years of waiting silksong just comes out to be literal shit..

[primal oriole]

Leth and Graig have both said they don't think SS fits in an Indie Direct, iirc

[raven minnow]

fair but could happen

[coarse leaf]

Indie Directs are too miniscule for ss

[cosmic widget]

Well now I won't even bother watching them anymore

[young saffron]

what if they were lying

[fierce seal]

there is no economic incentive for a team of three to raise the price or try to rush

[crystal inlet]

I love having my expectations low so if a game sucks I laugh.

[serene chasm]

SS is beyond Indie Directs. Its a real direct for them, or nothing

[primal oriole]

I don't see why SS would show up at an event for reasons other than a release date and if they have a release date I don't see why they wouldn't reveal it at TGA

[crystal inlet]

tbf that team of three made dark souls: a bugs life edition hollow knight.

[young saffron]

true true, but why doesnt TC increase in size? (like more developers)

[gilded adder]

Once again, I am asking you all to consider the idea that TC likes to mainly release information on their own schedule and of their own accord, as past evidence points to that pattern. There's more of a chance that we will get a blogpost this month than have Silksong be at any event.

[old flare]

I think they'll do what toby fox did with deltarune chapter 2 and announce silksong at their own event

[cosmic widget]

They would have to make the game on top of managing and paying those devs

[crystal inlet]

[fierce seal]

maybe because they dont trust other people with making their game I dont really know

[crystal inlet]

Patience is obviously fading though, and I don't blame people. It's the inevitable result of hype.

[old flare]

Working in a larger group is harder because it's hard to keep the original vision

[young saffron]

I dont see any problemw ith that
if theres no ss at an event but a blog post its a win for me
if theres no blogpost but ss is at an event its a win for me
if theres neither

I have 0 hope for SS so I dont get disappointed as hard as during the TGA (I was too hopeful)

[coarse leaf]

Maybe? Video games are a SHARED passion between Ari, Wilbo, and Jack. I bet they have a vision for their OWN work of art - and will probably not hire more people just for the sake of quicker development.

[gilded adder]

Wasn't saying there was anything wrong with it, just pointing that out since so many people expect SS to be at events every single time.

[crystal inlet]

the circle of hype: X makes good game which makes Y happy, Y start waiting for X to create a new game, vision a masterpiece, get impatient, people leave due to impatience, X makes a new good game and makes Y happy- repeat.

[reef scarab]

I’m still too busy recovering from TGA to clown over a blogpost

[young saffron]

oh I see, also isnt silksong too big to be at an indie direct..

[serene chasm]

We aren't planning on expanding our team at all, though one team member has flipped. Dave got sucked up into a big corporate gig (Which he's super happy with!), and we now have Jack! He's a 19 year old coding whizz-kid. Jack's helping us with all that deep, difficult code stuff we don't understand.

Our long term intent is to not get bigger. We want our future game's to maintain the qualities and quirks of Hollow Knight, and a huge part of that is our tiny team culture.

Ari from the AMA

[crystal inlet]

This is basically the hollow knight community rn.

[young saffron]

[young saffron]

ama? the 2019 one?

[fierce seal]

isnt jack a new recruit

[coarse leaf]

Yeah - but he’s young! Which means he has cool ideas - duh

[serene chasm]

2018

[primal oriole]

I wonder how much Jack actually influences design

[crystal inlet]

Ari said Wiz- we need a pure vessel to contain him.

[coarse leaf]

If I’m serious - probably barely.

[primal oriole]

my assumption has just been not at all

[young saffron]

if he stayed with TC since the 2018 ama he should be working for about 3 years with tc I think?

[young saffron]

also here they told hes helping with difficult codign :O

[crystal inlet]

Everyone be patient and be as cynical as possible.

[young saffron]

BRO THERES THESE FKING BAIT CHANNEL WITH TC LOGOS WHO KEEPS TRICKING ME

[crystal inlet]

That way if it sucks, you won't care.

[young saffron]

"Team cherry reveals HK SS at the TGA" - rick roll

[cosmic widget]

damn I didn't know Jack was so young, I struggled to make a crappy prototype in unity lol

[reef scarab]

Imagine team cherry pulls a BitLife and releases fearless fox out of nowhere

[gilded adder]

BitLife?

[cosmic widget]

It's a text based life simulation game

[young saffron]

? whats that

[serene chasm]

Yup. In the edge article, they said he is helping with making the world feel more alive. So more things move in the world (Like the bells in deep docks)

[young saffron]

ty, its always nice to see new info :p

jack is probs like 23 by now.. so are u 23 years old?

[reef scarab]

BitLife hyped up an entire huge update for an entire year with no updates to their fans and then released a random other game instead out of nowhere

[gilded adder]

What was their previous game that they hyped up?

[reef scarab]

BitLife

[gilded adder]

Oh

Thought it was the name of a company

[young saffron]

BRUH how much hate did they get

[serene chasm]

tf is bitlife?

[crystal inlet]

hilarious.

....oh.

[young saffron]

w t f

[crystal inlet]

well- uh.

[untold inlet]

[serene chasm]

so silksong

[reef scarab]

Everyone was mad because they hyped up the update so much and released something out of nowhere that could very well have been something added on to the main game

[reef scarab]

Late 2019

[fiery coral]

@reef scarab don't mention stuff like that on the server next time

[reef scarab]

Yeah alr

[crystal inlet]

uh- let's move onto constructive topics- like for example...how many hornets would it take to screw in a lightbulb?

[hollow sedge]

the perfect marketing strategy

[reef scarab]

Hornet can’t change a log by bulb because she’s too busy her gender

[crystal inlet]

why is pale king a worm?

he literally is though.

[coarse leaf]

bcz Pale King is actually

[split tide]

wormy wyrm

real question is why not

[crystal inlet]

I wouldn't even call him a wyrm by any stretch of the word.

Most wyrms in fiction are basically: giant snake, dragon head..

[cunning geode]

does HK need to abide by most fiction

[split tide]

yeah it doesn't have to exactly follow the usual mold

[crystal inlet]

No just- think it's a bit odd.

[split tide]

fair enough then

what constitutes a wyrm doesn't seem to be all that well-defined in any case

[reef scarab]

I love how team cherry said that they don’t even do much research on insects and just look up cool bugs for character designs

[split tide]

hell wyrm originally just meant worm

[gilded adder]

Is that a Pokemon reference??????

In MY HK server!?

smh

[silver oak]

[coarse leaf]

What? That's literally a Dragon Quest reference, smh

[reef scarab]

Wait Ari’s online

[silver oak]

ari deez nuts

[crystal inlet]

If ari's online- maybe he will finally confirm why the knight doesn't wear shoes!

[fluid orchid]

The pale king is a personification of Shai-Hulud from dune

[ancient spindle]

fr?

[north sandal]

And then mossbag could do a video about it!

[primal oriole]

no lol

[ancient spindle]

sadge

[crystal inlet]

||The Pale King is just a stand in for Gwyn- lord of light|| and hell yeah!

[fluid orchid]

The worm god the fremen worship and give their water

[split tide]

inb4 Ari just has this server muted because of all the chaos

[young saffron]

the knight has no toes..

[surreal crown]

[crystal inlet]

so where's it's stubby socks then?

[gilded adder]

They're black, actually. That's what you see on the character.

[surreal crown]

So how much longer till this theoretical blog post?

[young saffron]

So guys wait the nvidia leaks were fake yes?

[primal oriole]

depends which one you're talking about

[signal chasm]

i dont think we know yet

[primal oriole]

if you're talking about the assumption that it will be exactly the same date and time as the last one, about 3 hours and 15 minutes

[crystal inlet]

maybe the Knight is wearing a hat!

[fiery coral]

Plin plin plon

[young saffron]

Anywhere in December hopefully, but some ppl are saying either tdy or tmr

[surreal crown]

Both possible times, if you know them.

[serene chasm]

I dont know why I just imagined the knight with cute knee highs

[young saffron]

Around 12 for me then hmm

[robust pecan]

it's the 13th in AUS rite

[reef scarab]

Tomorrow

[young saffron]

Its 13 in sri lanka atm

[young saffron]

What's the time in Australia?

[reef scarab]

Blogpost in fifteen minutes

[crystal inlet]

I would pay for this.

[robust pecan]

it's 1:45 pm in AUS right now, 12/13

[north sandal]

The leak was real, and several games were in fact released in the leaked dates. But, by the look of things, the leaked SS release date was probably just a place holder one

[random granite]

about 3 hours until when they last posted

[reef scarab]

Ah yes they are going to post at the exact minute

[young saffron]

Interesting

[young saffron]

TC writes blog posts in the evening?

[serene chasm]

I like how this fandom thinks that something happening twice is a pattern and not a coincidence

[untold inlet]

fr

[reef scarab]

Guys stop clowning I can’t handle any more clownness after the game awards

[untold inlet]

there's not gonna be anything today, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe something in december but to assume it's on this exact day is absurd

[cosmic widget]

we're going hollow

[north sandal]

I need something to hold mind in place

[split tide]

didn't you know that two data points is enough for rigorous data analysis

[young saffron]

3 times*

[young saffron]

2018 2019 dec blog post 2020 edge magazine

[reef scarab]

They’re gonna pull an Omori and release it on Christmas

[young saffron]

Also I don't think anyone truly believes we are getting anything in dec we are all just hoping so

[primal oriole]

the Edge magazine didn't release on December 13th

[reef scarab]

[young saffron]

It released in December tho RT?

[primal oriole]

I mean barely lol

[north sandal]

No, but was on december anyways

[hollow sedge]

another silksong soundtrack would satisfy me for at least half a year

gimme moss grotto

[serene chasm]

Moss Grotto please!

[robust pecan]

just some sort of acknowledgement of the long wait and lack of news for an entire year would be nice

[cunning geode]

you just acknowledged it right now

problem solved

[craggy turtle]

the lack of this has pushed r/hollowknightmemes into the depths of insanity

[surreal crown]

It's reasonable they didn't have a blog post cause of the edge magazine.

[split tide]

"haven't done r5ab with all modded bosses in p5 yet? y'all suck, hurry and do it for news"

[crystal inlet]

Oh guys- I just realised- what does pale king rhyme with summer spring- what's the opposite of summer- winter how many letters in winter? 6... so clearly it's coming out on the sixth of December 2026.

[north sandal]

The man truly did the math

[cosmic widget]

This whole thing reminds me of waiting for Xen to be added to Black Mesa where the fandom freaked out over small details lol. But even they had a blog post around every 6 months and actively engaged with the community

[coarse leaf]

I give everybody perms to mass ping me if news today.

[craggy turtle]

we have broken the floor of insanity and have overflowed to the integer limit of intelligence

[coarse leaf]

I will not regret this whatsoever.

[hollow sedge]

how about if theres no news today we mass ping you

[coarse leaf]

No.

[white barn]

yes

[coarse leaf]

News only.

[hollow sedge]

then you wont get pinged

[coarse leaf]

Thats the point!

[fleet temple]

are we still expecting news today?

[craggy turtle]

are we ever not expecting news at this point

[hollow sedge]

not really at this point

[spare kite]

yeah, we stop expecting when the news comes out lol

[surreal crown]

I'm going into tonight / tomorrow hoping for news. If there's no news I'll go on about my life.

[fleet temple]

I think there would've been a blogpost by now, so just wait for next year

[craggy turtle]

so we will always be expecting news

[serene chasm]

SS is coming out in February

[hollow sedge]

its already the 13th in australia, it'll be over soon

[split tide]

eternal expectations

[primal oriole]

I don't know why people keep saying that, TC has always given December news today or later

I don't get why people assume that if it was going to happen it already would have

[surreal crown]

Yeah for the past 4 years

[craggy turtle]

waiting for silksong news is the real eternal ordeal

[heady jolt]

if there's no news today i expect probably 25th or 31st

[fleet temple]

Well we might get something this month, but Idk why people think it'll be this specific day

[crystal inlet]

I'm from the future guys and- spoilers about silksong: the final boss is you.

[craggy turtle]

this sounds like a crappy deltarune theory

[crystal inlet]

you see- the real silksong was the friends we made along the way.

[hollow sedge]

this year is different

[crystal inlet]

this year sucks even harder than the last?

[royal marsh]

I actually just played silksong and mecha zote is so tough

[hollow sedge]

no 2020 was a train wreck lmao

[fleet temple]

plus last year we didn't get a blogpost because of edge
maybe we didn't get a blogpost today because they're preparing something for later this month?
probably not they're probably just waiting for a release date which will proably be a couple months from now

[primal oriole]

oh yeah I doubt it will be

[untold inlet]

that's about what i said yesterday- no december news might be a good thing, cause maybe they're holding off on december news for something bigger just around the corner

[royal marsh]

didn’t they announce hollow knight two weeks before it came out? maybe they’re just waiting til they’re absolutely certain they can release it (silksong)

[fleet temple]

true, but they also used to give news in the middle of the year, and what happened this year?

[craggy turtle]

er what

[primal oriole]

oh I'm not saying that TC is definitely going to give news this month, I'm saying there's no reason to think that if they were going to it would have already happened

[royal marsh]

not 100% sure on this

[craggy turtle]

didnt it get announced in 2014 and come out like 2 years later

[surreal crown]

Didn't they technically do that last year with the riddles?

[royal marsh]

wait rly

[hollow sedge]

i really doubt there'll be news in december, team cherry already missed out on showing anything at the game awards

[craggy turtle]

wrong reply oof

[fleet temple]

what?

[untold inlet]

what if silksong is complete but it's been delayed cause leth accidentally deleted the files for the trailer he's making and has to start all over

[coarse leaf]

We’re getting news today. Just wait holy hell!

[craggy turtle]

misclick, wrong person

[fleet temple]

oh

[crystal inlet]

What if leth is the final boss?

[fleet temple]

damn, I don't have a copium emote to respond to this

[craggy turtle]

final boss is us just team cherry in a sisters of battle fight

[crystal inlet]

Leth, The Song of Silk..

[coarse leaf]

They would only show news in TGA if the game was ready to be released. They could compromise by giving us a small blogpost about their progress

[heady jolt]

the final boss is leth saying there is no news at e3

[hollow sedge]

#sk-discussion message

[heady jolt]

the true final boss is the tga cult in an alternate universe where there was news at tga

[cosmic widget]

man they're so lucky lmao

[hollow sedge]

no point in giving a small blogpost when the game is already complete at this point, or atleast thats what it seems

[crystal inlet]

the final boss: Leth, Bringer of Bad News.
If you get hit by any attacks silksong is delayed 300 years.

[royal marsh]

It feels like what Hello Games did with No Man’s sky

[cosmic widget]

Team Cherry are gonna be making the game in those head jars from Futurama

[coarse leaf]

How do you even know it’s complete? If it is, why don’t they go ahead and release the game?

[crystal inlet]

build hype, minor bug fixes...

[royal marsh]

why would you need to fix bugs in a game about bugs?? /jk

[short wagon]

If it's done, we're not expecting anything new

[hollow sedge]

judging by what graig has said the game is already in a releaseable state

[crystal inlet]

I hope The Absolute, Pure, Nightmare, Brooding, Brother, Collector, Crystal, Defender, God, Great Nail Master Zote haunts you.

[strange rampart]

Never trust Graig

[fleet temple]

having a blogpost at this point would do nothing but reveal stuff we could've seen for ourselves, the only thing that would be worth announcing at this point is a release date, which will most likely be the next thing they announce, no matter how far away it is

[craggy turtle]

graig is a troll !

[untold inlet]

releaseable =/= done, they could shove it out now but they would probably rather add more content

[fleet temple]

he wasn't trolling that time

[strange rampart]

Graig is always trolling

[hollow sedge]

exactly

[crystal inlet]

I'd like a zote gag superboss.

[craggy turtle]

he has a sly pfp what did you expect

[coarse leaf]

We’ve gotten news on December every year on around the same date - last year was the exception since EDGE was being created, but it was still on December. This month, when looking at the pattern, has a very likely chance of having news - especially since this is the month where TC takes their break. If they were finished with the game, they probably would have participated in TGA. Since they’re clearly adding what they want right now according to Graig, they are not going to release just yet - probably soon, since they’re probably close to satisfied with their progress.

[drowsy pike]

You've heard of TGA cult
But have you heard of the Hollowmas Cult

[short wagon]

Will the next update be a release date

[craggy turtle]

we can only hope

[hollow sedge]

probably, thats what it seems to be building up to

[coarse leaf]

Which is why I believe that February is likely - if not, we could shoot for next E3.

[strange rampart]

Leth said in an interview that the release date would most likely only be announced 2 weeks before the release

[fleet temple]

if we get something this month, no
if we get something next year, likely yes

[royal marsh]

Does Leth announce stuff in this discord?

[untold inlet]

idt february is likely just cause that's such a packed month for gaming- hell, elden ring is even releasing then

[fleet temple]

he deconfimred e3?

[drowsy pike]

Last year summer he did

[untold inlet]

(on hollow knight's 5th anniversary no less)

[drowsy pike]

TC doesn't care

They literally released HK into Nier Automata and BOTW

[untold inlet]

true true

[coarse leaf]

Seriously - the ONLY thing that would satisfy me other than a release date (duh) is confirmation of being able to refight bosses! AAAH!

[crystal inlet]

TC want us to go insane, TC want us to think there's a silksong- team cherry are distracting you from the important thinks.

Like the Knight...has fingers.

[coarse leaf]

And around the release of the Switch iirc, as well

[short wagon]

Sometimes it even feels like T.C. is missing

[fleet temple]

TC will just release it when it's done

[drowsy pike]

I'm just hoping we get anything tomorrow or Tuesday, even if it isn't news at all.

[robust pecan]

Elden Ring kino + SS will set the world aflame. Add on top of that some light dustings of Horizon, Dying Light 2, Legends of Arceus (wildcard) and Forspoken and we are golden

[craggy turtle]

they do?????

[crystal inlet]

Yes.

[craggy turtle]

wghat

[royal marsh]

Also the Knight has toes

[crystal inlet]

ever saw the birthplace cutscene?

[craggy turtle]

show me. this cannot be real

gotta rewatch that then, but TOES?? too far.

[strange rampart]

The knights hands are just spheres duh

[royal marsh]

they’re very tiny fingers

[coarse leaf]

The knight eats beans.

[drowsy pike]

How do we not know he wasn't sucking into the ore to hold on to it with his succulent void-made body

[hollow sedge]

the knight is void 😳

[craggy turtle]

where fingers

[crystal inlet]

the knight isn't void.

Zote drank all the void in his crazed search for fame.

[primal oriole]

I mean, THK has fingers

[craggy turtle]

zote is void purely because he was hungry

[coarse leaf]

HK characters likely have fingers - but are not portrayed in the artstyle - except for larger bugs and entities. HK characters also likely have mouths that aren’t drawn either. These things exist, but not visually. It’s a part of the world.

If there were consumables in Silksong, Hornet would probably eat like Steve - hold food to chin and have it disappear.

[craggy turtle]

or jab it violently into her chest

[young saffron]

Question for you guys

Let's say that silksong core game is finished and polished etc would u want TC to keep adding content to the core game or release the core game ryt now without that extra content

[coarse leaf]

Keep adding the content, duh!

[primal oriole]

what do you mean exactly by core game?

[craggy turtle]

he probably means like main world and quest

[royal marsh]

I think it’d be nice to have the core game and then have DLC added later to give me a reason to come back to it

[young saffron]

Like in hollow knight you have ur core game but u also have side things such as pantheon grim troupe etc

[coarse leaf]

I would rather wait for more game than be impatient! I’m sure many of us have lives that will kill enough time regardless

[craggy turtle]

e.g regular hk but no godhome or colo

[cunning geode]

even before the DLC for HK, what counted as "mandatory" was surprisingly little

[young saffron]

Hornet has an actually voice btw
So all the NPCs are going to feel so alive

[primal oriole]

well those things are only separate because their bonus content

[mental turret]

They probably meant something roughly like HK without the DLCs

[young saffron]

^

[primal oriole]

like the Colosseum is just as irrelevant

same with the Hive

and also Queen's Gardens, for the most part

[cunning geode]

like I said here, a lot of the original stuff is extra to keep it nonlinear since you wont know how to beat the game when you first play it

and also because its fun

[primal oriole]

that kinda stuff I would want to be added, but things like the Godseeker I wouldn't mind losing

[coarse leaf]

Ngl, I kinda hope that more stuff is mandatory in Silksong - but that’s just my taste

[primal oriole]

I hope there's a long linear section at the end that isn't a fake out or a twist

[young saffron]

The main issue with HK for me as at the start b4 getting the dash moving around and exploring in HK was a pain, but that doesn't seem to be the case with silksong

[mental turret]

Hornet in deep docks is already as mobile as the knight with dash and wings

[coarse leaf]

In silksong, I believe you are almost immediately greeted with sprinting - I’m not sure when exactly though. Wouldn’t make sense to have sprinting not be unlocked until later in the game

[primal oriole]

you get to the end of the game, after a bunch of nonlinear adventuring and non mandatory stuff, and you get to the end and do it

[mental turret]

So that probably won't be the case

[primal oriole]

I assume probably right after the Church person or whatever

I don't remember her name

[young saffron]

Horet doesn't have wings?

[young saffron]

Good, that's an amazing addition :0

[primal oriole]

her weakness seems to become too much at that point, and she would have to be healed to some degree to keep going, and her being healed to the point where she can spirt would make sense

[gilded adder]

Church Keeper

[mental turret]

Sprinting and long jump seems to be a post moss grotto thing

Since Deep Docks is where you really have to use sprinting to get through the hot floor

[crystal inlet]

the main issue with me for hollow knight is: It didn't have Zote reveal he has somethings on aduibug.com

[sullen fractal]

GIVE ME YOUR RELEASE DATE PREDICTIONS PLEASE

[gray lance]

Tomorrow.

[sullen fractal]

Huge if true

[primal oriole]

August 21st 2022

[gray lance]

It's always tomorrow. Every day. Until it's out.

[crystal inlet]

@sullen fractal

[sullen fractal]

Prolly pretty close

I'm gonna say February 16th 2022 8:00 PM CST

As a limited release in Canada only

[mental turret]

Silksong isn't real, this is all a simulation

[inland stratus]

moremoremormeoremormoere

[hollow sedge]

I will be surprised if Silksong doesnt win best indie game of the year at the next game awards

[young saffron]

What if that's TC latest target

As in their maximum date they are going to wait b4 releasing silksong is Feb 22
:V

Tho at the Same time thay can be their minimum target b4 releasing silksong..

[fleet temple]

ss could very well release in feb but I don't think we should use the nvidia leak as a valid source of evidence

[hexed prawn]

2023

[tawdry valley]

lined up pretty well for the past 2 years now

3rd times the charm

[coarse leaf]

Ss will not release until 305060

[sullen fractal]

That would make me kinda sad ngl

[copper knot]

i dont care about silksong anymore

[dusty umbra]

so we know about the silk but what does the song refer to? Other than a banger soundtrack that I'm sure will be included.

[mental turret]

Hello, Leth from Team Cherry here. We want to inform you that the social experiment called Hollow Knight:Silksong will end in February 2022. Thank you for your interest for this project and stay tuned for more news on Hollow Knight: Zotebote in 2043.

[primal oriole]

there's a lot of themes of music, Seth was given a job (and also maybe immortality) by "the Voice," might relate the idea of the tunes that gods sing, which the Godseeker can pick up on

[dusty umbra]

also the bells which I'm sure will be important

l Iike to beIieve, l'm sure l'II be utterIy dissapointed but l'II stiII beIive
