[cerulean sable]

whats the deal with this game's ledge climb

[agile kelp]

Reminds me of celestse

[open abyss]

Like on top of the platforms spikes.And you can grab on the edge of platform

[cerulean sable]

i think HK's ledge climb is a bit instant

so they probably cant do that

[open abyss]

Grab to edge of platforms wasn't present in Hollow Knight. But it seems it is present in Silksong. So I just wondering will Team Cherry make something interesting out of it?

I don't know how to spell it correctly

[young phoenix]

Or it might just be because it looks cool

[pliant jackal]

Do I have time to replay la-mulana 1 and 2 before SS comes out?

[young phoenix]

Who knows it could come out tomorrow, it won’t but it could technically

[cerulean sable]

i meant like, from the looks of the demo Hornet cant keep "hanging" on to a ledge

[signal crag]

I guess maybe there’s is not much reason to?

[ocean mulch]

They most likely definitely used dev cheat tools to record the trailer so masks and abilities at certain places may not be accurate.

[signal crag]

As usual, we can’t use masks to determine if certain areas are more “late game” than others

[long ridge]

Not to mention what was 'late game' in the trailer might not be late game now.

So you're saying it's new Celeste?

[open abyss]

Similar and different at the same time.

[long ridge]

It's got big Celeste vibes at least.

Art and gameplay wise.

Like I don't mind, I loved Celeste. But you can't make a game like that and pretend you didn't see Celeste, see how popular Celeste was, and start taking notes.

[astral stone]

it looks like a celeste mod lol

[young saffron]

YOO SILKSONG LEAKS
?

[gloomy oar]

Ah yes
News on silksong

[young saffron]

looks just like celeste lmao

it looks erm.. mediocre? if that makes sense?

[long ridge]

I mean it looks fine enough to me. It could be a great platformer even.

But lets not play games and pretend it's not taking all the notes from Celeste.

[broken dust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh_Wp42PUfM

[runic valley]

Plus you can already go through the whole game in hk without collecting masks if you really want to

[coarse leaf]

they dont exist

[radiant wraith]

Why would I be a Silksong fan?

I'm not a fan of Friday Night Funkin'

I would not be a fan of a Friday Night Funkin' mod

[wheat crescent]

Who asked

[radiant wraith]

I asked, it's a question

Can't you see the question mark?

[quartz yew]

I have returned a little earlier

Rumours of possible news on 31st of December interested me so I came back.

[eager orbit]

I heard the game will have hornet in it

[tame widget]

I heard there will be silk & songs

[quartz yew]

I heard the game will explain that she's void.

[tame widget]

*screen transition

Hornet is screen transition
like the vessels
& the shade lord
everyone is screen transition

you are screen transition too

[quartz yew]

Turns out the shade lord was the god of screen transitions all along.

[eager orbit]

why is she called hornet, that's not a spider thing

[tame widget]

i mean, look how the shade lord beat up absolute radiance & turn her into a screen transition

[marsh ibex]

probably from cut three queens shit

[eager orbit]

ah yeah that scans

[quartz yew]

I read somewhere that Vespa gave her that name and since Vespa was (or is? I can't remember what happened to her) the queen of the bees, I guess that all things in the hive have bee like names or something.

[tame widget]

I mean, calling Hornet "tarantula" or "banana spider" wasn't as cool as "Hornet"

[quartz yew]

Widow?

[marsh ibex]

notice that I said cut

as in because of TC moving stuff around and some lore changes it doesn’t apply any more

[eager orbit]

hang on I need to edit something now

[coarse leaf]

💀

[quartz yew]

Yeah but TC did say that they can neither confirm or deny it, which I'm very curious about. Although it might be cut out after all.

[tame widget]

this is the Hollow Knight community, any day is possibly Silksong release for the fans

[quartz yew]

I know it's a stupid move but I missed you guys.

[marsh ibex]

mfw

the hive used to be in deepnest

They are now on opposite sides of the map

[tame widget]

until then, you'll keep that pfp

[sudden crater]

SS release when? February?

[marsh ibex]

the hive is also now blocked off from the rest of Hallownest

[quartz yew]

Unfortunately

[tame widget]

if the Bees in Kingdom's edge make honey, then there must be flowers somewhere

[coarse leaf]

I wish 😔

[quartz yew]

Possibly. But maybe not. We can't trust the leak so I suggest waiting until actual confirmation.

[sudden crater]

:(

[tame widget]

But what if TC doesn't say anything

[sudden crater]

Cyrexx sad

[coarse leaf]

Could you imagine 2022 goes by without info, again? 💀

[sudden crater]

I need silksong in my life i am depressed

[coarse leaf]

same, not a joke just a fact

[quartz yew]

The only flowers we know are those pale flowers, but fuck kinda honey would that make? Those flowers are damn mystical. I bet it'll give some side effects.

[tame widget]

pale honey

[mortal grove]

oh cool

[sudden crater]

Silksong was announced around 2019 right?

[eager orbit]

hollow knight au

[coarse leaf]

feb 14 2019

[tame widget]

Ah yes, Banana

[quartz yew]

Food of the gods

[sudden crater]

So we will complete 3 years of waiting

[quartz yew]

If ss comes out somebody has to make a mod of this.

[tame widget]

she throw bananas at you

[quartz yew]

We suffer

[sudden crater]

I always wish SS news in every gaming event. Its painful waiting

[brittle garnet]

There will never be news in an event

[quartz yew]

A kingdom haunted silk and song?
Nah
A kingdom haunted by banana and monke.

[tame widget]

reject silksong
embrace Monkeymusic!

[brittle garnet]

I'm completely serious here, news will never appear in an event, unless it's the release date announcement, in which case it's still unlikely

[sudden crater]

Never thought elden ring would come out first

[quartz yew]

Unless it's like another nintendo treehouse event thing, but I doubt it.

[brittle garnet]

Nah

[tame widget]

a nintendo direct would be big enough?

[quartz yew]

Hornet: Reject silk, return to monke

[quartz yew]

TGA was the biggest thing they could announce it on. I doubt they would show it on January when they already skipped TGA

[tame widget]

we don't know to be honest, we're not Team Cherry

The inner machinations of their minds are an enigma

[coarse leaf]

SS was announced in a Nintendo Direct, it would make perfect sense to announce the release date in one as well

[civic mantle]

Guys i'm like wainting for 2 years nows not you ? ^^

[quartz yew]

But I do believe they will announce something on February.

Whether it's an update or, by some miracle, a release date.

[civic mantle]

horneyeah

[brittle garnet]

It was not

[tame widget]

"hello, this is Will Smith from Team Cherry! I'm here to announce that Silksong will be out in about 14 tardigrade years! Have a great day!"

[haughty brook]

SS was annouced the day after a Direct

[quartz yew]

Holy shit it's the Will Smith

[marsh ibex]

Silksong was announced valentine’s day

Wasn’t during a direct iirc

[brittle garnet]

Silksong was announced the day after a direct, in its own announcement, by complete coincidence

[quartz yew]

Does that mean that TC's valentine's gift for us is Silksong? /j

[radiant wraith]

Tissy , will you be my valentine?

[brittle garnet]

It's not really about being big or small, it's complete random chance if it will appear in an event, since it would have to line up with when they want to finish the game.

[quartz yew]

TC: A gift from us to you! Thank you for your support.
Fans: ah gee thanks for this- Silksong appears

[tame widget]

for real, the " good dates " for Silksong to get released is either Hollow Knight 5th anniversary or Valentine's day

[quartz yew]

Or the most crackhead date: February 1st.

[marsh ibex]

tbh I don’t really know why people expect silksong to be at big events all the time

[quartz yew]

Hope?

[brittle garnet]

Yeah I know right? It makes no sense.

[tame widget]

[marsh ibex]

It’s not hope, because a lot of people during events are like

[tawdry valley]

Rabid

[marsh ibex]

“Oh silksong is too big for an indie event, it’s not important enough for a direct”

[agile kelp]

Hopium copium and desperation

[marsh ibex]

like they genuinely expect it and rationalize why after the fact

[tame widget]

It's like any games events, people go there knowing perfectly that they will be dissapointed, just for the sake of toxicity

[agile kelp]

Its like the 5 stages of grief without acceptance and instead its an endless loop

[quartz yew]

welp. I guess it's desperation at this point. We're starved of content.

[haughty brook]

Also I don't know why many people expect a shadowdrop, it would be wierd for such a highly anticpitated title. Releasing the final trailer and then making a two weeks (like with HK) wait to built hype is the best way, at least for me.

[brittle garnet]

Nobody has being toxic as a goal, that's not a thing.

[tame widget]

have you seen the last indie world chat?

[brittle garnet]

Yeah, and?

[tame widget]

Clowns everywhere

[quartz yew]

Yeah the shadowdrop thing sounds like a shit move to me. Like radio silence for a year and then suddenly you release the game? To hell with that.

[tame widget]

but I do believe that in this world, someone is born just to spite others

[haughty brook]

Also it would look kinda of suspicious to some people (even if SS is super good, which I believe its going to be) because shadowdropping suddendly the super hyped game sounds like if TC just made a shovelware game.

[quartz yew]

Indeed

[radiant wraith]

It will not happen

[haughty brook]

I know, but many people are exited of SS shadowropping and I'm like ???

[brittle garnet]

They just wanna get it as soon as possible

[quartz yew]

Yeah it's to the point where they will take even the most shittiest way of releasing silksong.

[opaque sigil]

Shadowdropping is probably not happening outside of extreme circumstances

Announcing release date and releasing outside of large events is very much on the table

[pine linden]

I don't even see any logical reason to why you would decide to shadowdrop a game release like that anyway, theoretically sales would do worse compared to if you had just stated a release date and so people would actually anticipate the release. At least that's my thought process.

[opaque sigil]

Shadowdropping makes sense if you can do it at a large event where many people are watching

[vast oasis]

at the start of the silksong trailer it sounds like hornet says monomon lol

[pine linden]

Ig that's fair, but still, in this context it'd be much better to actually hit people with a release date. Can see where you're coming from though

[opaque sigil]

It definitely would be barring extreme circumstances

[pine linden]

yeah

[opaque sigil]

To clarify, I don't think a shadow drop is going to happen, it's just not totally impossible

And it isn't always a bad move in terms of marketing

[pine linden]

true, I still don't know why some people would think that that would happen, pretty odd tbh

[opaque sigil]

idk how many people really think it's going to happen, usually when people say something like that it's a joke

[shy stirrup]

Im starting to think a February release date is less and less likely because of how packed feb-april is

[pine linden]

Probably out of desperation, idk

[pine linden]

That's fair

[haughty brook]

Or because its an indie game, therefore shadowdrop is more likely.

[pine linden]

2022 has a lot of hype games, SS would probably be looked over if it was released alongside those big hits

[opaque sigil]

The reasons indie games are more wont to shadowdrop don't really apply to SS

[shy stirrup]

I think april is a good month rn

Not anyting super big but that could change depending on what grts announced

[small goblet]

especially the first day

[shy stirrup]

Lmao

[runic valley]

What’s happening on the first day?

[opaque sigil]

April 1

[shy stirrup]

Tbf ss is a pretty big indie release

But i doubt its big enough to comepete with the absolute titans in months like feb

[fiery coral]

ELDEN RING

OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH ELDEN RING

[shy stirrup]

Yeah

[opaque sigil]

Well it doesn't really have to. Different niche

[small goblet]

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH ELDEN RING

[runic valley]

I honestly think it’s gonna show up in a nintendo direct whenever it’s ready. It feels like too much of a big and anticipated title for an indie direct

[balmy pasture]

yes

[opaque sigil]

It would definitely be a mismatch for an indie direct, but that doesn't mean it will be at a direct either

[balmy pasture]

SS is tehnically a indie game but its much bigger than the ones that show up in indie directs

[shy stirrup]

Very fair, but releasing it in an empty month would encourage people who typically dont play indies/metroidvanias to buy it

Especially if its cheap

[balmy pasture]

nah SS will definitely be at both a nintendo direct and some other big gaming event as well

[opaque sigil]

Perhaps, but people would still buy it either way, and if the game's done in February TC may not want to wait a few months for things to cool down

[dusty nimbus]

Is December Division still a thing?

[small goblet]

technically yes

[runic valley]

Wait what’s that

[dusty nimbus]

You're better off not learning

[runic valley]

Ah

[wise ginkgo]

Cc comment on met silksong sur switch ?

[rapid topaz]

Le jeu n'est pas encore sortis

Okay i use Google traduction

[rapid topaz]

[wise ginkgo]

Thanks

[rapid topaz]

I can help you if you need to but keep it english as much as you can

[wise ginkgo]

When will the game be released ?

[opaque sigil]

We don't know

[wise ginkgo]

Ok

But he is released on PC

[opaque sigil]

Yes, it will be released on PC

[tame widget]

& switch

[wise ginkgo]

Ok

I thought it was on pc

[empty trench]

The edge thing was on december 31, so i still having faith for december division

[robust pecan]

speaking of edge, when will we get the elden ring info?

[empty trench]

Today

[ripe fossil]

Well... Hornet does fall in the first minutes of the game. So a shadow drop could be likely

[empty trench]

Whats shadow drop

[marsh ibex]

it’s where they release the game with no previous warning

[shell yacht]

i thought Elden Ring Edge issue was out?

[empty trench]

Silk drop would be better

[marsh ibex]

that’s also like, not funny

[empty trench]

Sounds unlikely

[shell yacht]

its hilious. shadow drop, but only physical copies to obscure electronics stores

[empty trench]

[robust pecan]

anybody got a link to the ER edge info?

[small goblet]

what do you guys think will be the max masks count in ss?

[gray lance]

10 or 11

[opaque sigil]

Probably not fewer than 9

[opaque sigil]

Seeing as multimask damage seems to be a bigger thing, Hornet could have a few more masks than TK did

[shell yacht]

35

[sacred stratus]

oh god my next task is to prove that TC cannot be solved in a reasonable amount of time

[robust pecan]

wait so will we get the electronic version on the 30th? Or we do need to wait until February? Magazine dates make no sense to me lol

[sacred stratus]

which means I have to prove SS will not launch soon

this is easy

[coarse leaf]

30th, ignore the feb part

[sacred stratus]

yooooooooooooo

the guy on the cover got the drip

[empty trench]

Is it a silksong reference?

[small goblet]

so like 32-33 dec? sounds cool

[empty trench]

Im talking about the feb 2022

looks like u can read a bit of the issue here
https://issuu.com/futurepublishing/docs/edg367.issuu

[bleak scarab]

Ah yes I walk in here and first thing I see is the French Flag

Good to know everything is normal

[sacred stratus]

didn't I nuke France like a week ago or something...?

bcs a guy there refused to join the TGA cult

[bleak scarab]

Good to know fellow skeptics are resilient

[small goblet]

oh i thought almost no one was in december skeptics, there's at least 2 of us

[fiery coral]

join the December Division

display obedience, while never stepping out of line
and blindly swear allegiance, let the Division control your mind

[verbal trench]

do they have donuts?

[sacred stratus]

we have beans

[spice wigeon]

Nah dude i already drunk that orange juice

[small goblet]

we have cookies, you got nothing

[verbal trench]

if they dont have donuts i dont want it

[spice wigeon]

Better to go hollow than wait for that milk

[sacred stratus]

oh so this is gonna become the war of factions

[fiery coral]

uh yeah sure we got donuts we got cookies we got all sorts of snacks and confectioneries and whatnot

[verbal trench]

FUCK YEAH

[fiery coral]

https://open.spotify.com/track/3qSm2aAJAf7vHNStDhXBFs?si=yBY9_hMNSxC4kDQPBzIZow&utm_source=copy-link now listen

[small goblet]

how could you blindly believe them

[verbal trench]

because i like donuts :)

[small goblet]

but what if i say we have more donuts? furthermore, that "uh yeah sure" sounded like unique made it up, so please rethink your decision

[verbal trench]

they have cream filled and sprinkled donuts

[small goblet]

how do you know

[verbal trench]

cus im eating it

[tawdry valley]

We have carrot sticks and Greek yogurt

No you cannot have any of the cucumber water. We are saving that for the next Nintendo direct.

[bleak scarab]

You and me brother

[bleak scarab]

I will proceed to say the words "Never!" as dramatically as I could

[small goblet]

i still hope we are not alone

[bleak scarab]

There's also chaos the mantis shrimp

[small goblet]

oh fuck yeah three of us

[bleak scarab]

[glacial gulch]

silksong when?

[fiery coral]

if only we knew

[small goblet]

yesterday

[sacred stratus]

ok I finally managed to prove mathematically that TC cannot finish SS in a time of less than 9 years

wait no actually it's 81 years my bad

[jade canopy]

I would like to know how you prove that one

[sacred stratus]

simple: I falsely assumed they can finish the game in a time of less than the HK dev time squared and proved that if so I can perform a fast matrix multiplication in a time that is too fast to be true and therefore this is impossible

well tbh I didn't actually do this but I thought it was funny since I got a question involving TC algorithm and runtime

[jade canopy]

What does tc stand for in that context ?

[marsh ibex]

Team Cherry

[jade canopy]

Hum then what is tc algorithm and runtime ?

[marsh ibex]

my mom

[main obsidian]

does your mom actually have a part in silksong development?

[marsh ibex]

yeah

she’s william cherry

[sacred stratus]

TC stands for transitive closure and runtime means the complexity of the algorithm compared to the size of the input

[sacred stratus]

if your mom is William isn't your dad Ari?😳

[agile kelp]

Ok so new theory

[bleak scarab]

Is Graig the uncle

[vestal wagon]

Aw shit we forming factions now

[marsh ibex]

yep

[vestal wagon]

Alignment: neutral-chaos

Idk what month that puts me at

[bleak scarab]

What? No we're just alighments based on if we think ss news this month

[agile kelp]

There are 5.5 endings in hollowknight
0.5 is half of 1
Yes mr mushroom counts as half an ending
Now if you have any sanity left you should be able to see 5.5 looks like S.S
AND YA KNOW WHAT S.S STANDS FOR?
SilkSong
Once hollowknight turns 5.5 years old we may get ss
Or we get ss 5.5 years from the release trailer
Or that stands for 55 years

[bleak scarab]

On that note you should totally join us december doubters and skeptics

[buoyant osprey]

👁️👄👁️

[main obsidian]

2055 release date confirmation

[agile kelp]

Eh sure why not, once 55 years come ill be leaving the skeptic cult

[bleak scarab]

Success!

[agile kelp]

2017+55=2072

[jade canopy]

hum can i be in your cult ? or me being member of another one makes that process harder ?

[agile kelp]

Which cult are you in?

[vestal wagon]

I was already a doubter, but I will not join the December skeptics.

[agile kelp]

If your in the feb faction you can stay till feb
If your a jan joker then you can stay till jan

[bleak scarab]

Keep your ways, us skeptics will rise to power though

...soon

[glossy pine]

You’re doing the math wrong, 2022 + 55 = 2077 meaning that Silksongs full name is CyberPunk: Silksong 2077

[jade canopy]

so 5.5 year from hk release date puts us at ...
24th of august 2022

[bleak scarab]

Oh shit

[glossy pine]

Keanu Reeves for Silksong confirmed

[agile kelp]

So the events in cyberpunk will take place if ss doesn't come out?
Does this mean everyone will start T-posing is 2077 if ss doesn't come out?

[agile kelp]

Or will people start t posing when ss comes out?

[vestal wagon]

I am a skeptic, but not a december skeptic.

I've gone even further

[opaque sigil]

Being a december skeptic to the exclusion of all other skepticism is not skepticism insofar as it is jumping on a bandwagon

[vestal wagon]

I lost hope waaaay before tga

[opaque sigil]

Nor is absence of hope skepticism

[vestal wagon]

Well I'm skeptical of any leaks stating a release window. I take these things with a grain of salt.

[opaque sigil]

That's fair

[vestal wagon]

Especially the Nvidia one, so by that metric, I'm a February skeptic.

[nimble radish]

I'm 100% certain silksong has already release

[vestal wagon]

Though I am a 2022 believer

[nimble radish]

I just need to find it

any of you guys found any clues

[opaque sigil]

The L in your nick should be capitalized

[vestal wagon]

I just knew it wouldn't come this year when Nintendo put DC super hero girls in their first direct in... what, a year? 💀

[nimble radish]

I'm not the one that wrote it this way

[agile kelp]

Maybe once hk turns 5.5 years old it'll release

[nimble radish]

blame shandow

[opaque sigil]

Shandow

[opaque sigil]

I mean that'd be like mid 2022 so sure, maybe

[agile kelp]

Nintendo did what

[ocean mulch]

Every month I'll be that month's faction

[vestal wagon]

Look the direct up I cannot come up with this shit myself LMAO 💀 💀 💀

[main obsidian]

what is the actual ideology of the december division

[sacred stratus]

what is going on here?

[main obsidian]

do they think ss releasing in december

[opaque sigil]

It's a joke

[sacred stratus]

no just news in December

[main obsidian]

im pretty sure its serious business

[brittle garnet]

they think we'll get news in december

[main obsidian]

times kinda running out

[vestal wagon]

We get nothing for a year and they drop this alongside splatoon 2
https://youtu.be/GJd6_hxzYLk
(Idk just paste it into your browser since no embeds)

Nevermind it embedded

[sacred stratus]

i'll have to wash my eyes

[brittle garnet]

embeds were only disabled for TGA

[vestal wagon]

I knew once they pulled this shit out they were desparare for something

Which meant no notable news like SS

[ocean mulch]

When was the direct

[vestal wagon]

A good while back... maybe february-ish

Says 10 months ago

[bleak scarab]

what is this?

[vestal wagon]

The straw that broke the (former) believer's back

[agile kelp]

So your going to be a jan joker, feb faction fan, march for silksong, April fools, it May come in May, June jeopardy, July jargon, adjust for August, sad September, hallow October, November nitwit, December direct AND a new years believer?

[agile kelp]

I put effort into that

Nevermind it was done before

[stuck mural]

Silksong's... cancelled

I..

[vestal wagon]

I still hold to the theory that team cherry are being held captive by emus

[brittle garnet]

isn't that just all of Australia

[bleak scarab]

bruh have raven or star fire

[ocean mulch]

We need to save this message

[agile kelp]

That might be true, he bounty for the emus may not have killed them all

[nimble radish]

YOU ARE ALL DECIEVED SILKSONG WAS OUT THIS WHOLE TIME, WE ONLY HAVE TO FIND IT

[stuck mural]

NOOOO IT IS THE INFECTED

QUARANTINE THIS PERSON AT ONCE

[nimble radish]

You will never be enlightened as I have been if you keep this up

[agile kelp]

And you must collect 500 pinecone along with 800 grubs and 7000 flees to get it
You must also defeat 57000 zotes at once 57 times to get silksong

[bleak scarab]

LORI THE RADIANCE IS GETTING TO YOU!

[agile kelp]

I mean no once can defeat a singe zote hoe can anyone defeat 57000 at once 57 times in a row

[vestal wagon]

It was inside our true hearts all along (except Greg from an alternate universe in another body stole the code for the game from team cherries computer or whatever tf Xehanort does in KH. Hell if I know.)

No mind to think: "Is that leak real?"
No voice to cry out: "Why is there no news "

[marsh ibex]

[marsh ibex]

Against the rules to roleplay

stop

[stuck mural]

What?

Where?

[marsh ibex]

Rule 4

Do not be toxic, RP

among other things

[hybrid stone]

it does avtually say that

[stuck mural]

Yep

[bleak scarab]

Yo we're not actually role playing right? I thought this was memes

[vestal wagon]

Oh well, back to talking about...

[hybrid stone]

[stuck mural]

Actually yeah!

[vestal wagon]

Anything but silksong tbh

[hybrid stone]

im mainly just looking forward to learning a new moveset for ss

[marsh ibex]

I wasn’t actually discussing nsfw, it was just memes

point is rule breaking as a joke doesn’t make it not rulebreaking

[sacred stratus]

plus you're a mod so the rules don't apply to you in this dictatorship

[marsh ibex]

I don’t do that here

[vestal wagon]

I hope hornet has a spiderman reference.

[hybrid stone]

[vestal wagon]

Genuinely I just love spiderman

[agile kelp]

So joking about being toxic is not not toxic?

[sacred stratus]

we don't do that here! where's your Communism spirit?

[bleak scarab]

everytime I hear the word spiderman I get a reaction to shield from spoilers

[fiery coral]

Correct!

He's catching on

[agile kelp]

Sorry I didn't mean to scream

[stuck mural]

B r u h

[sacred stratus]

I'm literally on the verge of being banned bcs of my humor

[hybrid stone]

its not humor if its literally hateful to a group of people for no reason

[bleak scarab]

Indeed. This makes us hat folks superior obviously.

[stuck mural]

Yeah no

[coarse leaf]

[bleak scarab]

So a normal day

[stuck mural]

Why don't we spice it up?

[hybrid stone]

saying ur joking doesnt automatically excuse you from all consequences

[vestal wagon]

It's one thing to parody sterotypes and satirize them for humor

[fiery coral]

anyway we move on

before things get worse

[vestal wagon]

It's another to actually project them on people.

[stuck mural]

[marsh ibex]

I am also back with my bad back

Coming soon is the most devious statement imo.

idk its kinda hopeful tho

[tame widget]

Team Cherry is Chaotic Evil since 2019 lol

[vestal wagon]

I remember having angry birds space on an old tablet when I was like 7. They said new planet coming soon

[vestal wagon]

A year later, still wasn't out

It came eventually, but still

[tame widget]

I play My Singing Monsters: Dawn Of Fire, & for 3 years, there was a "coming soon" island.

It never came

[hybrid stone]

i think tc have the game ready, but they want to add more

[vestal wagon]

This is why it's chaotic evil

[tame widget]

They also have to translate it

[hybrid stone]

or that the game is in a state where they can polish and release

[vestal wagon]

Also my singing monsters

Ye grag already said it

There's no way to exercise in the dreams

very true

This makes me think Herrah has appeared to Hornet in her dreamer form, and hornet’s confused as to why her mom has never checked up on her

[tame widget]

must be very boring to be in the dream world, there seem to have no board games anywhere

[hybrid stone]

here's my theory, delicate flowers come from pharloom

[olive bobcat]

Why's that

[empty trench]

Its a good one

[hybrid stone]

screenshots with literal piles of similar looking flowers

[marsh ibex]

They don’t look the same. One is roselike and the other is more sunflower

[tame widget]

they are not the same flowers tho

[small goblet]

quite the reason ngl

[olive bobcat]

They're not similar looking though

[vestal wagon]

There are plants in pharloom. Unlike in hallownesr where the most we get is moss.

[marsh ibex]

Along with that, delicate flowers come from ze’mer’s kingdom

[hybrid stone]

they are

[vestal wagon]

In the trailer we see the big red planty area

[tame widget]

The white flowers in Pharloom look more like roses

[marsh ibex]

And no one in Pharloom has spoken like ze’mer yet

pretty roses tho

[marsh ibex]

also do you guys know how to draw roses

no

[marsh ibex]

just draw a cabbage

hiw do i do that

[olive bobcat]

You can draw Basil from Omori by drawing a lemon

[marsh ibex]

To draw a cabbage you draw a rose and color it green

[empty trench]

Omori did big troll at indie world

[marsh ibex]

it’s funny how there’s already a leak for the switch version lmao

of omori not ss

Lumafly Lantern is 1800 geo, they dont have that much money

Nah, they can't buy lumafly lantern because it's 1800 geo, and they only have 1800 rosaries

Hornet: sets down a heavy bag of geo on the merchant's counter
Merchant: "The hell is this crap?"

[true vine]

is there any silk

[nimble radish]

fossil collector npc who sells you geo

[true vine]

that's brilliant

[empty trench]

Only song

[coarse leaf]

silksong is a sequel

[agile lily]

yea but it can also just mean the second game in the "hollow knight" series

[nimble radish]

they have made sure to specify that

[opaque sigil]

Neither telling the player that Hornet lost her tools from Hallownest nor explaining Hornet's loss of abilities and identifying her gaining things like silk spear and gossamer storm as recovering powers would make sense if silksong was a prequel, nor would the timeline allow for such a thing

While it is very much probable that the game is a chronological (but not narrative) sequel, that nomenclature is not evidence for such

[ocean mulch]

I think it's a sequel in both departments

[opaque sigil]

Why?

[boreal saffron]

It’d be more satisfying

[opaque sigil]

I disagree

[empty trench]

Silksong is a prequel

[opaque sigil]

Reducing SS to a narrative sequel to HK would greatly reduce SS's potential to be its own thing, and be counterproductive to the experiences of new players

[ocean mulch]

it's satisfying because if it's a prequel we already know Hornet's fate and she can't die

[opaque sigil]

That holds for chronological argument, not narrative arguments

[boreal saffron]

It would also show what ending might be canon

[opaque sigil]

That's a con

[ocean mulch]

what you think SS happens after HK but the story is before HK?

[ocean mulch]

no bad

[opaque sigil]

Story is largely unconnected. Separate narrative taking place after the events of HK

[coarse leaf]

why wouldn't her getting powers make sense for a prequel? wouldn't it make more sense?

[ocean mulch]

I want Hornet to never come back to hallownest

[opaque sigil]

She recovers them. She had them before in Hallownest

[boreal saffron]

Might happen directly after the ending where the knight attacks hornet

It defeats her and she’s captured and taken to pharloom

[opaque sigil]

No

[coarse leaf]

wasn't the only reference to that, when she says she doesn't have her usual tools, or was there more?

[stiff burrow]

She uses almost none of those powers/tools in the HK fights so it wouldn't make sense for her to know them before HK

[ocean mulch]

Ari said she recovers her strength

[opaque sigil]

“Part of what’s Hornet’s doing is she’s lost her traditional strength because of the time spent bound in this cage you saw in the introduction,” Gibson says, “And she’s sort of restoring it, and the Weavers – or what remains of them in this land – are helping her.”

[eager orbit]

obviously Silksong takes place during hollow knight, Hornet just got kidnapped on her way to the wyrm corpse from the City of tears fountain.
the game ends with you arriving at the wyrm corpse and having to fight the vessel

[digital glen]

My idea was always that would be a sequel, but it wouldnt touch very much on answering or continuing the ending to hk, being more a thing on its on, but giving subtle hints on what happened

[ocean mulch]

I think a sequel is more satisfying because the hallownest arc is a big turning point for hornet

[opaque sigil]

Hornet is recovering her abilities which she had prior to the events of SS

In addition to acquiring new ones, likely

[ocean mulch]

Which she for some reason would lose when coming back to hallownest?

[coarse leaf]

ah right, i don't rly think its enough to draw sequel from that though, could have multiple interpretations

[opaque sigil]

Only if she was brought back in another cage

[ocean mulch]

"she goes easy on the knight" they aay

Why she literally wants to murder vessels

[opaque sigil]

It's nonsense to interpret that in accordance with prequel, TC has no reason to account for the loss of those abilities

Same goes for the sting shards

[eager orbit]

yeah why do you think the hornet 2 fight is so much harder
she spent the time the player was dicking around getting lost in deepnest hanging out in pharloom and getting gud

[opaque sigil]

She does in the first fight, kinda

[ocean mulch]

Midquel

[coarse leaf]

i just mean traditional strength doesn't necessarily have to mean her strength in hk

[opaque sigil]

Except it's referring to the abilities, which she did have in HK

Those are what the weavers help restore

[nimble radish]

I'm pretty sure the intention is for it to be ambiguous

[ocean mulch]

Hornet will become ruler of pharloom I'm calling it rn

[opaque sigil]

If TC was trying to keep it ambiguous then the FD dialogue and the Edge thing were terribly misguided

[nimble radish]

but you have to do every quest

[ocean mulch]

Bomber's Notebook

[opaque sigil]

And nothing has ever meaningfully pointed towards it being a prequel in the first place, the only argument for it is a shoddy understanding of canonicity and a misreading of TC's quote

[ocean mulch]

I thought you were arguing that it's a prequel

[opaque sigil]

Of course not

[ocean mulch]

Thank god

[opaque sigil]

.

[oblique musk]

FD dialogue
A bit off topic, but what does fd stand for?

[ocean mulch]

What's a narrative prequel

[opaque sigil]

I'm arguing it's probably not a narrative continuation

[nimble radish]

it can't really be

[opaque sigil]

A chronological prequel with a plot that leads directly into the other entry

[sage glade]

Equal

[ocean mulch]

It doesn't continue hallownest's story it focuses just on the weavers and hornet

[opaque sigil]

Forge Daughter

[ocean mulch]

But you said it's a chronological sequel hwjsjsjhsa

[digital glen]

SS begins like a visual novel where theres dialogue options while you talk to thk

[opaque sigil]

It probably is, yes

[ocean mulch]

Hornet will come to terms with her lineage and her past to be able to solve pharloom's curse in the present

[digital glen]

What i cant understand is why they would a cliffhanger in the pantheon ending

[ocean mulch]

Because they can

[opaque sigil]

It's not that big of a cliffhanger. Rad's dead, the story is resolved.

[ocean mulch]

It's more intense for that ending

[opaque sigil]

Open ended =/= cliffhanger

[ocean mulch]

So it isn't just a boring thing

Because you spent quite some time to get it lmao

[digital glen]

I guess that makes sense

But it had to have thk?

[ocean mulch]

Do you want her to duel elderbug

[opaque sigil]

I mean THK was alive in that ending, so why not

[digital glen]

YES

[opaque sigil]

Plus it confirms that THK would be let out of the egg

[boreal saffron]

I want her to fight grubfather

[nimble radish]

mean

grubfather does nothing but give you his stuff

[sage glade]

i wonder if we would see more of godseeker species in SS. it would make sense to have them in SS and establish them as a worldwide organization that are attracted to gods

[brittle garnet]

that Egg seems to have some sort of automatic system controlling it

[nimble radish]

godseekers aren't real

[ocean mulch]

It seems that godseeker is the only one to physically be alive

[boreal saffron]

He ATE the GRUBS

[ocean mulch]

The land of storms shows that tons of them left only their masks

Or was it the other place

One of the two weird places

[opaque sigil]

It was the land of storms

[small goblet]

is it bad though?

[opaque sigil]

No

[ocean mulch]

Grubfather is a healthy cocoon

[sage glade]

we all need a snack sometimes

[ocean mulch]

He's nutrient for the bebes

[nimble radish]

that's supposed to happen

[ocean mulch]

Or maybe we're all coping who knows

[nimble radish]

also why is the dwayne john rockson rasing his eyebrow

[worthy lichen]

hoping > coping

[digital glen]

Even if ss is a sequel or not, i think it will still be its own thing, if they want to everyone to be able to enjoy silksong, it wouldnt make sense if it was superconnected to hk ending

[opaque sigil]

Indeed

[brittle garnet]

yeah, plus disconnected means it'll be cooler

[ocean mulch]

Silksong's beginning cutscene likely will only have context about motives not anything that happened.

[brittle garnet]

new stuff, versus old stuff

[ocean mulch]

Forget all the lore you know

[brittle garnet]

I'm actually wondering if the opening cutscene we saw is the full one, or will there be another scene(s) in the final game

[digital glen]

I think is the same one

[brittle garnet]

it seems kinda hard to add anything to it without breaking the flow

[sage glade]

oh yeah, i never thought about that. they could very well leave red herrings in the trailer (not just talking about the cutscene)

[opaque sigil]

The version in the demo seems pretty solid

[ocean mulch]

Yeah

[digital glen]

if we get answers about what happened in hallownest, certainly will not be at the beggining of the game, and will not be on your face

[brittle garnet]

I hope we get more cutscenes in general

[opaque sigil]

So long as they don't overdo them, sure

[ocean mulch]

It fascinates me how evocative that cutscene is on its own. You just want to know who those people are, why they took her, what's that white bug

And who is hornet if you didn't play HK

[still elm]

yeah i hope it's an interactive movie like plumbers don't wear ties or last of us 2

[digital glen]

The bug is the reincarnation of the king, obvious

This is why he helps Hornet

[ocean mulch]

And Lace is the king's mom

[digital glen]

Imagine if Game Theories makes a video about silksong

[boreal saffron]

Is nothing sacred

[small goblet]

"hornet is void?"

[sage glade]

he'd gone on a speedrun to say the most wrong things in the least amount of time

[boreal saffron]

“Hornet is the pale king?”

[digital glen]

that would be probably it

thk would beat the crap out of hornet right?

[opaque sigil]

THK can't even stand upright without leaning on its nail

If Hornet for some reason decided to kill it it wouldn't even be a fight

[digital glen]

Forgot that part

[sour tusk]

And still destroyed us in pure vessel form

[ocean mulch]

And it would be very insensitive like literally your stepbrother's body

[digital glen]

I dont think they would fight, she just got startled

[ocean mulch]

With black sludge in it...

[opaque sigil]

They probably wouldn't

[digital glen]

How vessels die to Nosk, or he just collects them

[opaque sigil]

Acid and/or trampling ig, that seems to be how Nosk attacks

[cerulean tree]

and psychological warfare

[steep basin]

I just hope that the abilities and crest system are good

[cold summit]

this area looks so cooool

[cerulean tree]

im very hyped for that area and the clover one

[sour tusk]

It looks interesting with all the red (or pink)

[ocean mulch]

Pink

[cerulean tree]

and the seaside poop area

[ocean mulch]

It's the trans area

[cold summit]

it kinda looks like a japanese temple

or chinese whatever

[eager orbit]

what if we reach the final boss of silksong and it's literally just the hollow knight fight again

[ocean mulch]

I don't see the resemblance
Maybe you're imagining the dragons that habe underwater palaces

[cold summit]

i expect better

[olive bobcat]

(fake)

[cold summit]

lmao it looks so real

[ocean mulch]

Why is THK in the deep docks

[obsidian crescent]

What if the final boss is the entirety of hollow knight again 🤔

[olive bobcat]

Nah it could be better

[cold summit]

how many areas have been revealed yet

[ocean mulch]

How did you edit the bell out? You used the visible parts of the BG while it was swinging?
