Oh god. I was struggling on medium at some points. Though once you unlock more late game powers it gets easier

[warm bone]

when I see a phantom I just goo gun them and set up a turret right next to them

stealth is for cowards

[serene chasm]

K&M or Controller?

[warm bone]

k and m

is it better with controller?

[serene chasm]

ah. I was playing on the couch on my steam controller

I dont think so. The SC worked great (the game actually has built in support for it) but my regular controller was way to sensitive and there was no way to turn it down. And I have no idea if the epic version would support the SC

[warm bone]

what is SC?

[serene chasm]

steam controller

[fallow rock]

the hollow knight lost the hunger games

[serene chasm]

he went 10 seconds without eating

[fallow rock]

no tried to fight kite tengo and died

[coarse leaf]

@wanton crest i have a question

why did u block me

[chilly nexus]

1 week to 2022!

[serene chasm]

Ugh

[fallow rock]

yep

can't wait to mute leth

[serene chasm]

[hardy crow]

Any news coming?

[serene chasm]

yes

[hardy crow]

[serene chasm]

someday

[hardy crow]

Like always

[hybrid stone]

maybe just leave them alone lmao

[tardy raft]

only 5 days to 1 year with no news :)

[potent plover]

I imagine there are now people who belive we will get silksong news there?

[tardy raft]

oh it's always possible

[grim forge]

what

[young saffron]

Exactly :(

[grim forge]

😔

[haughty ocean]

When is silksong

[small goblet]

[waxen badger]

[barren roost]

what, already? We're only at 877 silknevers, seems a bit early, don't you think?

[hybrid stone]

may

[native ivy]

be never

[heady jolt]

i mean we could always get something on the last day of the year

never rule out anything unless its plain obvious it won't be there

and its not plain obvious that tc wont do something on the last day of the year just unlikely

[grim forge]

we must pray

for that is the way of the believers

[heady jolt]

honestly if we dont get news on the last day of the year im not going to care about january

[grim forge]

[heady jolt]

february is when i would expect something tho

[young saffron]

we only believe in february

[bleak scarab]

Us skeptics find your ways confusing

[young saffron]

feb is hollow knights bday btw

underrated

and the constantly ethereal wailing in the BG really adds to the atmosphere

[gleaming palm]

So is Graig a developer? Playtester? What does he do for TC? Who is this mysterious man?

[ocean mulch]

Playtester

[gleaming palm]

Ah

[fleet temple]

lead playtester

[signal crag]

Also developing his own game

[fleet temple]

and expert troller

[gleaming palm]

Damn that's cool

[proud vale]

Trolling is damn cool

[ocean mulch]

Graig is lead playtester and Leth is playtesting leader

[proud vale]

Who tests the playtesters?

[ocean mulch]

Team Cherry entrance exam

[tame widget]

The playtesterstesters

[cerulean sable]

he is statistically, current best Silksong player atm

and like, hes really good (i mean kinda given with his position)

at one point he was ok with the OG radiance being close to as difficulty as Abs Rad

TC toned it down but in his opinion it shouldve stayed

[proud vale]

Maybe a mid-way would've been kinda pog

[wispy burrow]

maybe if you didnt have to fight thk to get to radiance

it's a bitch and a half to fight another boss just to fight the actually challenging one

[shy kiln]

Scissors are canon is HK

[fiery coral]

absrad is bad enough as she is

don't want her in place of regular

[fleet canopy]

Can I speak a theory?

[fiery coral]

Sure

[coarse leaf]

Silksong doesn’t exist

It’s just a dream we wish on

[shy kiln]

What if……no?

[fleet canopy]

In some SS locations they are said to be haunted, but what is this haunting? It could well be either a superior being or a being who knows how to use silk, music would be a way to move away from this and "purifies" the haunted places so much that it might even explain the constant appearance of musical instruments, and how could he have come back? Quite simple, haunting the leader of the citadel, and with its influence and power it went on destroying and disabling all musical instruments in the kingdom. Well did you find him?

[ocean mulch]

I didn't find him yet

Give me ten more years

[regal crater]

So... uh, it's been a long time, sooo: did we get some Information about the Game or something?

[wispy burrow]

no

[cerulean sable]

depends

[wispy burrow]

not even a crumb

[cerulean sable]

whats your range of "its been a long time"

if its anything shorter than a year then no

[regal crater]

The last Infroamtion I remember was... the Magazine.

[coarse leaf]

my bad

[cerulean sable]

Im gonna be honest with you buddy the reason you got warned wasnt for uploading or showing your stuff

Its that you showed it WAYYY too much

[coarse leaf]

true. im ashamed

i was just too exited

[ocean mulch]

It's okay now you're smarterer

[coarse leaf]

bout what reddy

Well now i learned my lesson

[ocean mulch]

👍

Character development

[cerulean sable]

I get you bro, theres no shame being proud and excited for a project you did, just dont post an update every 1-2 days or post the same thing in a span of 2 hours like last time

[coarse leaf]

🥲

[sage glade]

@cerulean sable

[cerulean sable]

r u winning

[sinful flare]

imagine not having 63 achievements in silksong

[fiery coral]

forget Silksong

help me out with this

[sinful flare]

yeah get 63 achievements in dst

[sage glade]

do baba is win

no need to thank me

[sinful flare]

what the fuck

[fleet canopy]

Yes, yesterday I had fun with my family playing a game.

[mellow spade]

I love how the comment below it almost like a reply from the top comment

[sinful flare]

wtf is this unqnue i dont

understand

[mellow spade]

Thats nice.

[sinful flare]

maybe you want to use me to make flag is win in a way i dont understand

[coarse leaf]

Noice.

[fiery coral]

That's indeed what I'm thinking

thing is

[coarse leaf]

Baba is rabbit

[sinful flare]

i dont know how shift or move works

[fiery coral]

this is a variant of a previous level, and this game has a habit of making similar levels have completely different solutions

Move makes the object move automatically in the direction it is facing

[coarse leaf]

imma gonna pick up this game soon

[fiery coral]

while Shift moves the player by one tile in the direction it is facing (think conveyor belts)

now

[sage glade]

what's fall

[sinful flare]

time to kill my brain

[sage glade]

i only ever got to float

[fiery coral]

Belt is Shift, and it's facing the right side, which means if I cross it, I can't go back left the same way

[fiery coral]

gravity

[sinful flare]

fall... falls?

[sage glade]

but you're already grounded?

[fiery coral]

well not exactly gravity but y'know 🥴

[proud vale]

Is this Manifold Garden?

[sinful flare]

yes manifold garden is you together

[sage glade]

fall to the bottom of the screen?

[fiery coral]

[Object] is Fall will make the object fall as low as it can until it reaches a solid object it can't fall through

[fiery coral]

Nah, this is Baba is You

Manifold Garden is easier and much more beautiful

[sage glade]

and 3d

[sinful flare]

and dst is

[fiery coral]

play it

I cannot recommend it enough

[sinful flare]

wait. so shift doesnt affect other objects that you dont control
hmm

ok i give up

[dusty nimbus]

Will it be like Outer Wilds?

[sage glade]

not the same genre

[dusty nimbus]

I mean fucking unplayable on a potato pc

[proud vale]

Just get it on a console

[fiery coral]

feels like the sort of game that'd be pretty tough for one's graphics card so...maybe?

[coarse leaf]

How about a baked one

[dusty nimbus]

[dusty nimbus]

[sage glade]

idk i feel like it would run better than outer wilds. the shapes are repeated, which could be easier to render

[dusty nimbus]

You got money to buy me a console then?

[coarse leaf]

i will pay

[sinful flare]

2

[dusty nimbus]

[fiery coral]

it does; if Me moves into that section then tries to go left to right and vice versa, it cannot move past that Belt

[sinful flare]

h

[dusty nimbus]

At least I can run Celeste smoothly

[warm elk]

So, any news about silksong? The last bit of info I heard was the leaked release of February (which I highly doubt since it is almost January and still nothing)

[fiery coral]

Nothing after the Edge magazine

[dusty nimbus]

Has Leth been completely absent?

[warm elk]

The most likely release that I feel is late 2022/early 2023

Since I doubt it is early 2022

[proud vale]

Early 2022 gang

[coarse leaf]

Me

early 2022 gang

[tame widget]

yes

[coarse leaf]

yes

[fiery coral]

this is one of my favourites

conceptually pretty simple

[coarse leaf]

baba is lonely and falling emotionally

[fiery coral]

but still took a while to work out

[signal crag]

So mid 2022 doesn’t exist?

[fiery coral]

as opposed to some levels that have a ton of rules, I don't enjoy those

[warm elk]

I highly doubt that. We haven’t received any news about silk song for a long time.
The closest thing was some updates to hollow knight recently for glitches.
I feel like that was because they just sent their game for early testing I feel. So they would fix glitches, probably change the level design a bunch, and send it again. Which makes late 2022/ early 2023

[warm elk]

I’m just considering the first 6 months as early in the year and last 6 months late.
Also, nice pfp. OneShot was great

[signal crag]

Heh, thanks.

[warm elk]

The year silk song releases, I’m going to vote for it as game of the year.

[cerulean sable]

for the past 2 months Leth has been the G in Lasagna

[signal crag]

I’m gonna share a thing about some possibilities of why they have going silent for so long, and why they skipped the usual Christmas blogpost this time.

[proud vale]

True but I think because they're not kickstarting Silksong this time, they've kind of thrown traditional marketing out the window and instead won't give us very much notice before it does drop

[empty trench]

They skipped the christmas blogpost past year too

[signal crag]

That was because of EDGE tho

[proud vale]

They know they have a massive fanbase and that it would be remarkably easy to just chuck release date in a direct and BAM you're good on marketing

[signal crag]

That’s like the equivalent of multiple blogposts

[copper nest]

I feel they might be crunching to get the game done, but I hope I'm wrong. I don't want them to push themselves

[signal crag]

#sk-discussion message
By Soup Master

[proud vale]

I reckon they're just embellishing mainly at this point until they're happy with the span of the game and the polish

[copper nest]

Honestly, I don't mind how long it takes them. It'll be a great game regardless and TC deserves every amount of support and all the time they need.

[empty trench]

We need a Graig's garden showcase at least

[coarse leaf]

i believe that

[lucid imp]

Silksong has to come out in 2022

[formal karma]

disagree, but probably

[coarse leaf]

We will beleve untill it happens

[hollow sedge]

this is pretty in-depth analysis

we def are not getting news this month

[vernal schooner]

With the incredible success that hollow knight is, i can't blame TC for taking their time. They have big shoes to fill

[proud vale]

detailed

[copper nest]

I mean we have a lot of stuff anyway. The release tailer, Nintendo Tree House footage, demo footage, mossbag and we have the edge magazine.

[formal karma]

silksong's development time only matters if all you do is stare at this discord

[empty trench]

Dont forget that we got those edge news at december 31 so who knows

[formal karma]

let's go- newsless year

[last oyster]

ah well

better luck next year

[empty trench]

Past year we got news on december 31

So maybe

[formal karma]

there's no reason to think we're getting news- there's no reason to think we're not getting news

[copper nest]

Oh and we have the demo music for lace and bonebottom

I love bonebottoms theme, it's so surreal. I hope the finished ost keeps the same melody

[empty trench]

Wise

[signal crag]

The true neutralist mindset

[formal karma]

that being said, though, hail the newsless year

[empty trench]

Yeah we have a lot of content, but at least more blog posts would be kinda good

I mean, the blogpost brings small news about development progress, so its kinda hopeful

[copper nest]

What else can they tell us though?

[empty trench]

I remember that blogpost "added enemies 161, 162 and 163

[empty trench]

Progress

[formal karma]

the thing is, though, they don't necessarily know what their progress is

[empty trench]

I mean development progress, like the enemies blogpost about 161 and etc

So like uh "new ost for X area", this type of blogpost that reveals small news, but at least we know that they did progress

[empty trench]

Like the enemies blogpost

[formal karma]

I sincerely doubt the efficacy of progress updates, but news would be welcome

[coarse leaf]

Another theme would be great, just release one theme

[tepid schooner]

i would love if they released one theme but didnt tell what it was for

[empty trench]

At least a random showcase, something not that big, like a room or map design showcase

[formal karma]

i dunno, after the bombshell of edge this discord was back to 'silknever' after 4 days. news seems irrelevant without release

[copper nest]

I do have to agree with you on that one

[formal karma]

if we don't get news soon, i AM going to have to do pantheon bindings...

[empty trench]

But the silknever thing is getting worse, the days are passing and we have no news for like a year

[copper nest]

It doesn't mean they're not working on the game though

[empty trench]

Ik, but that means no new content to show for community

[formal karma]

yea- our reactions aren't a factror. 'our' but i mean we're not so foolish as to ever 'silknever'

[empty trench]

Its not about silknever, its about the lack of news. I mean, tc sent huge news together (like edge) instead showing one by one

[formal karma]

that was a whole production, though

[coarse leaf]

Its just odd that they wouldn't take 5 minutes of their lives to tweet "SS is doing great"

[copper nest]

But, if some news is dropped then they have to keep giving it or the silknever will come again

They don't owe us anything

[formal karma]

1. we already know that- if we do a little digging anyways
2. Graig said it takes a week to craft the perfect update

[empty trench]

They showed a lot of news in one period thats what i mean

[radiant wraith]

They are working on it, that's implied

[coarse leaf]

not update, he said blogpost, I'm talking about just a random tweet

[formal karma]

but we STILL already know that

also if TC tweets nothing, people would loose their minds, they're smart not to do it

[copper nest]

We know they're working hard on it

[formal karma]

people are ass enough when the anouncement thread here is just about HK patches

[empty trench]

Bruh its not about those fucking silknever nerds, im talking about how good it would be for normal people if we get news

[formal karma]

sure it would be great, but ultimately it doesn't actually matter that much....

[empty trench]

Ur pessimistic

[formal karma]

uuuh, quite the opposite

buuut this discord has no idea what that words means, what was I expecting...

[empty trench]

[copper nest]

We're all fans of the same thing here so no need to separate everyone like that.

But no news is the same thing here and I think it's a good thing. Not only to keep things low but on TC to help manage their stress over having to keep constant updates and work on the game with the small team they have

[formal karma]

to borrow from Dark Souls; We all have the curse of undeath, and we will all eventually Hollow, but I've never died to lose my humanity with

[coarse leaf]

I think things are too low by now

[coarse leaf]

not constant, nobody wants constant, but once a year would be sufficient

[empty trench]

Not constant updates, only a "hi, we did some animations progress" and disappear for months again

[formal karma]

we already know they're working, though

[copper nest]

I'd imagine they would already do that though

[formal karma]

working is the DEFAULT

[empty trench]

But we dont now what they're working on

[formal karma]

it doesn't matter, though

there's not a set sequence to their develoment

[coarse leaf]

SS is gonna become Bayonetta 3 eventually

[empty trench]

Something like "we actually exist"

[formal karma]

any time at all they can add 3 more tools, and eight rooms to reach them

[radiant wraith]

They should write a script that tweets "we are working on it" every month

[formal karma]

yea i just checked- they still exist

[empty trench]

Proof

The point is that they're NOT working on silksong, they're working on zoteboat

[copper nest]

So you guys just want them to say that they're still working on it even if we can guess they're still working on it???

[empty trench]

Small news at least

[copper nest]

Is that a joke? /gen

[coarse leaf]

guessing and having direct information is not the same so, yes

[empty trench]

Yes

[formal karma]

good thing we're not guessing then

[copper nest]

Is it bad to say I'm looking forward to when they finish the game?

Since they can put the Hollow Knight franchise away for a bit and work on fearless fox. A nice change for them and I know they've had ideas for that for a good while

[formal karma]

i want to see what else they can crank out...

[coarse leaf]

the only thing they have regarding Fearless Fox is a Word document with some gibberish

[empty trench]

Yes its bad, you should look more forward: zoteboat - a zote horizon

[copper nest]

I'm never sure what to respond to with jokes like that, I'm not a very jokey, memey or trolling person 😅

So you'll need to forgive that I don't continue on the joke

[ember geode]

Will be amazing if we start with a new story

[formal karma]

here's a tip- zote bote is a trash meme that 'funni youtube man' said

[empty trench]

Graig wont forgive you

[ember geode]

I mean technically silksong is an entirely different game than hollow knight but still

[radiant wraith]

I mean, I'd like to see what TC works on next, but I refuse to get excited over it now, and I'm not.

[formal karma]

same genre

[copper nest]

Should I assume everything said here is a joke or?

[empty trench]

Silksong is a joke

[formal karma]

if its something mossbag said, yea

so zotebote, silksong is a social experiment, shared halucination

[copper nest]

Wait why? I thought he was very reliable with lore things?

[formal karma]

he is, but he makes jokes that people repeat ad infintum cause 'funni man'

[copper nest]

I really struggle sometimes on what can be a joke or not, I swear

[formal karma]

rest assured that the above mentioned articles are jokes

[copper nest]

Right

[formal karma]

also purely random release dates

[empty trench]

Hollow knight: silksong but wheres the knight

[formal karma]

dead

[empty trench]

Chat is dead too, lets talk about tools

[formal karma]

chat being dead is fine, embrace the silence for the song has haunted us too long.....

[radiant wraith]

Let it rest

[formal karma]

i could bust out a text wall to discuss

[radiant wraith]

[empty trench]

Text wall discuss sounds great

Ok im moving to #zoteboat-discussion

[formal karma]

A Reversal Of Hollow Knight (TL;DR The Folly of Pharloom is a good thing because the Elegy of Hallownest was baaaaad)

In my mind, with what we know of Silksong so far, there is a reversal of themes and content compared to that of Hollow Knight. In this I mean that you travel up instead of down, traversing a living rather than dead kingdom, fulfilling wishes rather than banishing dreams. Using this as a template, and assuming a great many things, I will lay out for you here why the Beast’s Nature as alluded to in the poem Pharloom’s Folly is a good thing.

With everything being a reversal we shall dissect a couple key points from the Elegy of Hallownest, for comparison. In The Elegy, we are introduced to the creation of Hallownest, a sort of industrialization of the land by the Pale King. He ‘gave a world to bug and BEAST as they have never dreamed’. This is suggested to be a great and wonderful thing by those venerating the King, and as it is written by a confidant of the Pale King, it doesn’t bother to examine how badly the creation of Hallownest turned out for everyone, thanks to stepping on the Radiance.

So what is an exact opposite of that? Faith and the bit about working in toil- it seems to me that Pharloom is being described as being hierarchical and industrial, and shall return to BEASTdom. However, since everything is a reversal, this will be a good thing. Rather than being the collapse of society in an apocalyptic event, this could mean freeing the people from the iron grip of the Citadel. I guess that also means that Conductor Romino is a detractor of the Citadel.

[empty trench]

So there will be reverse grimm on silksong

[formal karma]

a reverse of his thematic elements, maybe...

[empty trench]

Obviously we need a reverse zote too, etoz

[formal karma]

the reverse is already Sherma

[empty trench]

Ik im joking

What about the bug that sly mentions

[formal karma]

she's a corpse, assumedly

i mean he sure doesn't give enough of a shit to get get her, lol

[empty trench]

Esmy

[empty trench]

That scarecrow next to nail master's house?

[formal karma]

that's an oof right there

[empty trench]

That scarecrow was made using those giant bugs corpses

[empty trench]

Those jumping guys

[tame widget]

big hopper head & a nailmaster cloak

[empty trench]

Yes

So its not really a corpse

Esmy's corpse i mean

[sage glade]

esmy is fake news

[formal karma]

yea, you're gonna trust the word of some secret keeping shop keep named SLY?

SLYYYYYY for wyrm's sake....

[cerulean sable]

This parallax hngggggg please TC give me more of that Junk Pit shit i wanna fucking breathe it

[sage glade]

i can't get myself to play this game
it looks too much like a unity phone game

[cerulean sable]

i guess its subjective considering we have people who shits on HK's art saying it looks too much like a flash game

[sage glade]

true. well at least you can enjoy it

[lament lotus]

what game is this

[sage glade]

enderlillies

[wispy burrow]

the discord mod channels have way funner topic names than the subreddit mod channels wtf

[marsh ibex]

wha

[surreal mortar]

POV: Team Cherry on Dec 31 2020

[tame widget]

[sterile sleet]

Same

[hybrid stone]

surely noone thinks that

[cerulean sable]

I mean

some people do

[ocean mulch]

Moss grotto and city and greymoor and literally every area want to talk to you

[coarse leaf]

ender lilies hm
i finished it a while ago, quite short and the plot was bad imo. art is good though

[hybrid stone]

wow peolple really do hate hollow knight, mainly reddit users who dont know what a metroidvania is

"tHe MaP sYTeM iSBroKen" no, its realistic and encourages exploration

[fiery coral]

I don't know if a dislike for art style necessarily corresponds to a lack of knowledge about genre definitions

[hybrid stone]

"nOT eNoUgH bEnCcHeS" this gane is meant to be hard

[fiery coral]

subjective

[hybrid stone]

im talkimg abr ppl who hate the game in general bc its hard

[coarse leaf]

i dont think anyone really "hates" the game, they might dislike it because of difficulty and thats fine

[fiery coral]

Well not everyone has to like the difficulty 😅 I can well understand people who did not enjoy, for instance, the long trek back to the Soul Master or Mantis Lords

both run-ups notably long

[hybrid stone]

luckily mantis lords werent too hard, but i agree with soul master

[cerulean sable]

i mean, i saw someone literally said they loved the game except for the artstyle

its all subjective

it being a metroidvania or not is not covered by the artstyle

[hybrid stone]

ofc

[cerulean sable]

its another petpeeve i have with how the community often says if you dont like HK it automatically means you dont like metroidvanias when ive seen so many metroidvania fans who couldnt get into HK

[cerulean sable]

yeah i dont really care about the story atm, it currently another infection type of thingy a lot of darker games have

[glass vigil]

It took me some time to get into Hollow Knight tbh, I kinda raged quit many times in favor of playing Ori games at the beginning

[hybrid stone]

same, hollow knight felt really slow

[glass vigil]

Mostly bc I wasn’t using a map and going in blind lol

[coarse leaf]

i could get into hk easily but i dont usually enjoy metroidvanias in general

[wispy burrow]

hk was like the second metroidvania ive liked

after dread

i tried twice before but was too lost, a friend helped me get into it for real

[brittle garnet]

HK spoiled me, now every metroidvania feels too short

[hybrid stone]

yepp

[brittle garnet]

like I played GRIME, which took me 26 hours to beat, which is not really short, but I felt like it wasn't very long at all

and also that it was pretty linear

really fun though

[cerulean sable]

for me not every game has to be super long

and once you get busy with life, 26 hours starts feeling really long

[faint escarp]

27 december, still no updates

[cerulean sable]

i did a semi completionist bug fables run that took me around 50+ hours

and it felt like ive been on it for 2 weeks

only being able to burst through it during weekends

like you start feeling those guys saying they cant stand 100 hour long games anymore

also bumping up my old ass convo about Silksong having a 3 hit combo system (except you can move during it compared to most games like this ie Blasphemous, Death's Gambit where they freeze you in place for the duration of the animation)

[sage glade]

damn the girl has a stand

[cerulean sable]

i think its a cool way of implementing new weapons without the need of reanimating her

[coarse leaf]

most of the "stands" are really weak

theres only like a few i actually used

[marsh ibex]

I hate stands

[cerulean sable]

i like playing ARPGs with pure piano builds

[marsh ibex]

personas is where it’s at

[cerulean sable]

hence i dig it the idea of using and bursting all your abilities vs to pressing 1 button to win

[brittle garnet]

o ye, how's death's gambit?

[sage glade]

they're literally stands

[marsh ibex]

They’re not

[sage glade]

[marsh ibex]

I’ve watched jojo and am a persona fan

hell a megaten fan

they’re not the same

damn I didn’t know stands were gods and demons

That’s insane dude

[haughty brook]

Watching SS trailer after 6 months and got a little exited all over again.

[marsh ibex]

I will open my mind to cheese grapes

[olive bobcat]

Kingpin in Spider-Man 4: Home Loan

[sage glade]

what is a piano build?

[cerulean sable]

so in ARPGs like diablo, grim dawn or path of exile etc

usually the most common build is the "hold 1 button and watch everything die" build

piano builds are the opposite, the instead have like 4-8 skills you repeatedly hammer

so say your first build (in case of grimdawn)
would be to put molotovs on 1, cluster bomb on 2, mortars on 3, grendo on 4 then curse of fraility and another debuff on 5 and 6

and essentially you play like
1234123412341234561234123456123456

[sage glade]

so like doom eternal?

[small goblet]

doom eternal isn't really piano

[cerulean sable]

is it more effort? yes
does it have more DPS? not always

is it more fucking fun vs to holding M1? holy shit yes

i guesss??? you can kinda use Doom as Example

[sage glade]

interesting

[cerulean sable]

if by Doom you mean the idea of shoot + swap + shoot + swap

[sage glade]

yeah that's what i meant

[cerulean sable]

https://youtu.be/MDnTD0JxlKM?t=150

[sage glade]

mans hitting me with the whole laundry list of buttons

[cerulean sable]

i memorized this build for Engy because the most meta PVE build is you holding 1, filling a meter, using all your abilities to get it to full, going back to regular mode (Holosmith, which is a engy subclasses that uses fancy smancy swords and guns made out of hardened light)

but its way more fun memorizing it and i spent like week just getting it on spot, and despite the subpar dps i could get compared to playing Holosmith instead, im not getting bored to death by it either

[sage glade]

feels like combos in fighting games

[cerulean sable]

yeeup

except i hate fighting games

[sage glade]

i love them

it's similar to what you described
learning a combo for a long time and then finally hitting it

[brittle garnet]

monster hunter

the weapon movesets are e u p h o r i c

you only have a couple main input buttons, light attack, heavy attack, and then sometimes guard

BUT
then different combos and attacks change depending on directional input, or what you did before them, etc.

and it gives a lot of depth

pulling off successful combos and weaving in interrupts to avoid attacks and adjust to the situation is just really satisfying

I'm gonna maintain that Monster Hunter has the best action combat system in any game

[sage glade]

my pc can't run mhw

[brittle garnet]

do you have like
a switch

[cerulean sable]

anyway last post about this game but one thing i hope the ledgeclimb in SS is something you can easily chain

it doesnt look as good as it is in this game but you get the idea

Silksong has the ledge boost anyway so it should feel smoother

[silver oak]

[haughty brook]

I'm still amazed on the background art on what we saw on SS.

[sage glade]

no, no consoles, just 2017 pc

[brittle garnet]

ah that's fine, I have a 2017 pc too

it's been improved a bit since i got it but it's still a 2017 pc

what's your specs?

[vestal sigil]

What about 2015 PC?

[brittle garnet]

depends on the components

[vestal sigil]

Uh No idea

[brittle garnet]

smh

if you have windows you go to control panel and then devices > device manager, it will have a list of all the components

[vestal sigil]

It has the basics I Guess?

[vestal sigil]

Oh, thanks

[brittle garnet]

the threshold of games you can run will mainly depend on 4 components: GPU, CPU, RAM and your hard drive

[vestal sigil]

Gotcha

[brittle garnet]

also games on steam have listed minimum/recommended hardware requirements on their page if you scroll down

[haughty brook]

The true final boss of SS is John Silk

[brittle garnet]

damn these specs are way batter than mine
you can run MHW no problem

it won't be super smooth but it will be playable without significant issues

[coarse leaf]

why did you mention "non ti"

[fallow rock]

hey guys i bought bug fables

[sage glade]

because i have never seen anyone else with 1050. everyone just assumes i have the ti version. it's like i have a phantom gpu. there's no listing for it in any store anymore either but 1050 ti still gets sold

[brittle garnet]

my CPU is from 2013 and GPU from 2016

it's not 60fps but it was completely fine to play for 600+ hours

i got GTX 750 ti

[sage glade]

buying it rn then. guess i was misinformed this whole time

[brittle garnet]

though to be fair, your GPU does have half as much memory as mine, despite being better overall

[cerulean sable]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iva1DgEhPd4 lace 2 fight (also same music plays on a flowerfield reeeee)

[sage glade]

yeah, that's the biggest handicap

[cerulean sable]

i just hope Lace 2 goes hard on 2nd phase

[brittle garnet]

but to be fair it ran ok for me on non-lowest settings

You're probably gonna have to lower settings but it will probably run smoother than for me

[sage glade]

ok ty. can you play cross region with other players?

[brittle garnet]

uhhh

as in cross platform or cross world-region?

[sage glade]

region

[brittle garnet]

also here's a vid showing performance with your GPU, and a much worse CPU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSaZSq2yVG8

[brittle garnet]

yes

[prisma thicket]

Do you guys think we'll get an update before the end of the year ?

[west shell]

Nope

[prisma thicket]

like on the 31st to mark edge anniversary

[brittle garnet]

I don't think so

[sage glade]

it looks a lot like nier idk why

[brittle garnet]

yeah, it kinda does

[cerulean sable]

oh yeah i can chime into this

i used to have a 1050ti and a i5 3330 3.0ghz\

and i had to play on like ultra low at 40FPS

[sage glade]

[cerulean sable]

MHW is heavy on CPU

so after upgrading from a i5 3330 to an 5600x i was able to get to decent 60fps+ at high-ish

BUT my 1050ti still bottlenecks

[brittle garnet]

yeah that CPU was kinda shitty lmao

[coarse leaf]

amd 👍

[brittle garnet]

here's a comparison of benchmark ratings
the blue one is the minimum spec for MHW
the green one is Taco's old one (worse than that )
the yellow one is one that I have
the purple is the recommended spec for MHW
and the first, pink one is Typo's CPU

[sage glade]

neat site, what is it called?

[brittle garnet]

passmark, it has benchmarks for CPUs and GPUs, among other things

[sage glade]

oh nice

[brittle garnet]

so in conclusion you can run MHW fine and dandy

[sage glade]

yep yep

it costs a bit more than i expected even with the sale

[brittle garnet]

capcom games, amirite?

[sage glade]

🧢 🧭

[brittle garnet]

well, it's still a lot less than what it cost at release

like a LOT less

compared to MH:Rise which costs 60$

[sage glade]

i don't think their regional pricing is right for my region doe. it's double what it should be

[brittle garnet]

I got MHW through a special deal from a site called chrono.gg (rest in peace ) which had a daily discount for a different game, and it once had MHW at 50% off

[sage glade]

daang

[brittle garnet]

no

[formal karma]

mods don't like it, that's enough

[marsh ibex]

[sage glade]

i don't understand what's wrong

[coarse leaf]

[marsh ibex]

don’t explain the joke please

[formal karma]

yes it's best to drop it

[sage glade]

[brittle garnet]

really? It's like 20$ for me right now, what about you?

[sage glade]

yeah, same

[brittle garnet]

sounds about right then

[sage glade]

3rd world

whatever, i'll just get it later

used to patience

[brittle garnet]

to be fair CAPCOM very rarely puts discounts on their games so it's probably not gonna get cheaper

[cerulean sable]

fyi that CPU was like 10 years old

[brittle garnet]

yeah

mine is 8 years old

[cerulean sable]

i was playing 2017+ games with a 10 year old PC only carried by my 1050ti

nice

[brittle garnet]

but my CPU is a server CPU so it's still pretty good

Nerd conversation

[coarse leaf]

guys i think i might know the release date

[empty trench]

Are you leth's child

[coarse leaf]

i had a dream today and the dream told me it would release in 2022 feburary

im completely 100% serious right now

or at least it would be announced

[upbeat pulsar]

I think you might be infected

[coarse leaf]

if silksong announces/releases in feburary remember this message

[coarse leaf]

im not infected im just fucking stupid

[empty trench]

It will

[coarse leaf]

february is one of the most common predictions for release, nothing special

[empty trench]

Leth is my uncle

And he said it will release on february

Ari is my other uncle btw

[formal karma]

.>

[empty trench]

And he said it will release on february 7

[small goblet]

why are you jan gang then

[coarse leaf]

ok but real talk if it releases in feburary or gets announced it would be very funny

[empty trench]

Because my other uncle (willian) said it will be announced on January

[small goblet]

[empty trench]

And it will release on feb

[long ridge]

I don't know why. But I just /feel/ February .

I feel it in my bones.

[brittle garnet]

many people do

[cerulean sable]

tbf thats what we always say

but we will not be denied silksong

Our Side Has To Win

[brittle garnet]

oh yeah lmao, remember when everyone thought it'll release late 2019/early 2020?

[empty trench]

Are you taco

[coarse leaf]

yup

[formal karma]

honestly because of the 'leak' I almost have to say it's 100% NOT feb...

[marsh ibex]

Yeah

[empty trench]

So its january

[coarse leaf]

what leak

[brittle garnet]

I'd have to disagree

[coarse leaf]

thought of it releasing late 2020 was considered pessimistic

[formal karma]

it's literally nothing

[coarse leaf]

id say its feburary with 99% certainty because the dream i got was too specific

[brittle garnet]

I don't think the leak disproves it

[coarse leaf]

what leak tho

[empty trench]

Oh hey taco

[formal karma]

please don't....

[split tide]

Or it’s your subconscious being affected by all the February discussion

[coarse leaf]

ive never seen feburary discussion ever

[long ridge]

Never trust leaks. Never. Doubly so if they started on 4chan.

[coarse leaf]

and this isnt the infection either because since i was 5 i had the wierdest fucking dreams

[split tide]

Or just February stuff in general

[small goblet]

btw were people year ago as desperate as now?

[brittle garnet]

yes

[long ridge]

Less, but nearly as much.

[brittle garnet]

and even the year before

[formal karma]

people actually thought it was releasing in 2019....

[small goblet]

so i guess y'all didn't expect news too, so maybe, just maybe...

[long ridge]

Originally it was just Hornet DLC.

[coarse leaf]

Originally hollow knight was a kickstarter

[small goblet]

originally hk was built on some cringe game engine

[empty trench]

The 2019 and early 2020 people are not that desperare cuz they prob lost the hype i guess. I mean, we got no news, so no hype

[brittle garnet]

really? Why is that?

[coarse leaf]

alright im betting on feb

[formal karma]

because leaks are wrong

[empty trench]

Its february or never

[formal karma]

untrue

[long ridge]

I think the main reason people are so antsy is all the gameplay footage and updates that got released at one point.

[brittle garnet]

leaks aren't always wrong

[empty trench]

I feel it wont be at e3

[empty trench]

Ur untrue

[formal karma]

actually i've been very consistently accurate

[small goblet]

because people only talk about bad leaks, good leaks are soon forgotten

[coarse leaf]

you know it can release in feb despite the leak being fake

[empty trench]

So whats ur guess

[formal karma]

there's no guess

[empty trench]

So ur untrue

[empty trench]

So the leak would be true

[long ridge]

I dunno if it'll release in February. But we'll get some sort of news.

[formal karma]

well i said it won't be, which puts it at 99% unlikely

[brittle garnet]

you know, if they had news other than release date then we probably would have gotten them during this year, right?

[empty trench]

I said it will be so its 101% likely

[long ridge]

The current quiet isn't because of a lack of things to say. It's just that they don't want to deal with making update posts and just want to focus on finishing the game. So I'd expect a release date to be the next thing that drops. And I think they'll reveal the date in February.

[opaque sigil]

Not wanting to deal with making updates is the same thing as lacking things to say

[formal karma]

either way you're saying the same thing

[opaque sigil]

They don't have anything to say that's worth the effort of saying it

[long ridge]

I wouldn't put it that way. But all accounts they've really done a lot with the game. They just would rather not spend the energy talking about it.

[opaque sigil]

Therefore it is not worth the effort of saying it

[brittle garnet]

I think it's more like they don't wanna reveal more info about the game, in general, to not spoil it

[formal karma]

I hope we continue to compile info AFTER silksong's release; chronicling TC's interviews after the fact

[shell yacht]

after it releases?

[formal karma]

..............

[small goblet]

haha ss releases you alright?

[fiery coral]

Water is this your way of making a Silknever joke

I cannot believe this

[formal karma]

get 'em

[brittle garnet]

like, if they don't wanna reveal more content, and they don't know when it will release, what would they say in an update?
"Hi guys, still working on it, bye!"?
That'd be a catastrophe

[empty trench]

If they're not revealing content its releasing soon

[small goblet]

they have pr manager ffs, he can think of something right?

[brittle garnet]

yeah but the PR manager answers to the team, he can't do whatever he likes

[long ridge]

What do you think a PR manager could say at this point that would make the fanbase less rabid?

[opaque sigil]

Leth is limited in what he can do, and he won't reveal anything against the wishes of TC anyways

[grim forge]

mods making silknever jokes

[grim forge]

^^^

[small goblet]

ik he isn't an independent person in terms of advertising, but he can like i dunno write "um it is already a fucking year without news maybe we should do something till people get mad?"

[fiery coral]

Leth has pushed them to make more blogposts if that's what you mean

[long ridge]

People will be mad no matter what at this point.

[small goblet]

you mean earlier like dec 2019 or post 2019?

[brittle garnet]

yeah people just want a release date
anything less will not satisfy them

[opaque sigil]

An inability to cope with a year of silence while a game is in development is a deficiency

[copper knot]

🤨 🍿

[marsh ibex]

@fiery coral heads or tails

[fiery coral]

Heads

[opaque sigil]

Games in development going this long without updates is normal

[small goblet]

don't think so, people will be happy with stuff like "here are some new enemies, here's a new ost, we have x and y to do yet"

[opaque sigil]

Not everyone

[long ridge]

We're just spoiled by indie devs that usually keep people updated a lot.

[opaque sigil]

Indie devs usually do that out of necessity

[empty trench]

At least some of us

[long ridge]

It's super common for developers to just work on a game and it'll be out when it's out. I'm not worried.

[marsh ibex]

Damn it now I have to unblock unique

[brittle garnet]

staying silent is probably the best course of action right now, making promises is a risk and they don't wanna show off new content

[empty trench]

At least any news, not promises

[opaque sigil]

And making minute nonstatements like "we're still working" won't satisfy anybody (aside from maybe a handful of outliers) so it's not worth it

[copper knot]

alright so

in the past, they have admitted to revealing and promising too much about hollow knight, which ends up either being scrapped or not being implemented at all. they want to avoid this mistake with silksong, so maybe thats why they are refraining from revealing too much, as they dont want what happened with hk to happen with ss

[brittle garnet]

yeah but what kind of substantial news could they give?

[long ridge]

Everyone who cares at this point knows they're working on the game.

[small goblet]

showing what you made in past year aren't promises, just progress of development

[brittle garnet]

did you read the "they don't want to reveal more content"

[brittle garnet]

WHAT WOULD THEY SAY IN THE BLOG POST

[fiery coral]

🔵 🟩 🟠

[long ridge]

They don't owe anyone their progress. And honestly? For us, the diehard fans who will obsess over it, it'll be much more fun to see the content in game rather than half finished.

[fiery coral]

Please calm down

no need for the caps

[empty trench]

Ask leth

[formal karma]

this person already complained about this, not worth indulging them again

[shell yacht]

it wasnt a silknever joke, i just doubt yall will be collecting blogposts in 97 years

[small goblet]

hey why you changed name from jan to feb?

[brittle garnet]

ok sorry i just don't like when people say nonsense

[formal karma]

samer

[opaque sigil]

It's not nonsense it's just dodging questions

[empty trench]

For chaos like tga

[long ridge]

Think about it. Lace won't be a surprise when we see her in game now. But most other things will be. And that's more fun I think.

[brittle garnet]

yeah or that

[formal karma]

chaos is trash

[empty trench]

Tga was fun

[brittle garnet]

non-answers and such

saying stuff that means nothing in of itself

[formal karma]

oh, so activly wanting people to be upset, aight

[brittle garnet]

really gets on my nerves

[empty trench]

Ok

[small goblet]

no need for caps we're friendly and non toxic community

[river shale]

Jeff keely

[fiery coral]

Geoff lied to us

[opaque sigil]

How so

[fiery coral]

he said there were around 4-5 reveals in TGA on the scale of the Summer Games Fest Elden Ring reveal

[formal karma]

mhmmmm no

[wary timber]

[opaque sigil]

I mean it's his job to talk up his show

[wary timber]

ss 2024 earliest

[small goblet]

umm hmm umm maybe like elden ring is as big as 4-5 small games?

[fiery coral]

I mean yeah but you can't really expect a non-reaction to a blatant lie 🥴

[fiery coral]

[opaque sigil]

He may have considered some of those titles to be on that level

[fiery coral]

that's it, that's how we should have seen it

[coarse leaf]

"Hey, uh, we're still working on Hollow Knight: Silksong! We don't know if it's ready to release yet, but stay tuned!!!"

[opaque sigil]

There's no objective measure of scale for something like that

[fiery coral]

that should have been their announcement at TGA

[coarse leaf]

But that would be worse

[small goblet]

this kind of thing would make people crazier because "AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH WHERE DA NEWZ??!?!??!?!?!"

[coarse leaf]

Yeah

People wants a release date, not news

[empty trench]

Release date is news

[opaque sigil]

That wouldn't even be news, a statement that they're still working

[river shale]

any news at this point is good

[marsh ibex]

apparently that would satisfy people

[coarse leaf]

Actually true

[marsh ibex]

disclaimer: it would not

[river shale]

If they want to release it next year that’s fine as long as they say it first

[formal karma]

yea news is kinda worthless

[marsh ibex]

even when we get actual news people ask a week later for new stuff

[river shale]

Cause the thing is

[opaque sigil]

It's fine either way

[fiery coral]

release date when

[formal karma]

edge was huge, pretty much everyone moved on after a few days

[marble marsh]

maybe they should just say: we think we are ~80% done or whatever percent they think theyre at. no spoilers but still gives a sense of development

[river shale]

Scope of this game is gonna make your first play through take 100 hours

[formal karma]

there's no way to calculate that number tho

[small goblet]

yesterday

[opaque sigil]

That is not easily quantifiable nor would it give a sense of development

[coarse leaf]

When Baba is You 2 releases

[marsh ibex]

They already said they don’t that

Because they keep adding stuff to the game

[fiery coral]

Baba is You Too

[marsh ibex]

so 80% would become outdated if they added enough new stuff

[fiery coral]

Baba is Us

[marsh ibex]

I will block you again

[fiery coral]

wai

what did I do

[opaque sigil]

And development wouldn't proceed consistently by any metric of percentage

[empty trench]

Ali baba

[obsidian juniper]

Talking about release date Is there a release rumour rn?like a indie direct and stuff

[opaque sigil]

No

[brittle garnet]

yeah the thing is that game development is not a linear progress bar from start to finish

[empty trench]

February (and its not a rumour, its true)

[small goblet]

dates? mid feb, june-july

[formal karma]

no- and no rumor is ever accurate

[fiery coral]

just the Nvidia 'leak', most likely a placeholder but hey, if you want something to hope for, you have February

[formal karma]

just don't be mad when it's not real

[coarse leaf]

That's just impossible

[empty trench]

Whats your guess unic

[obsidian juniper]

Yeah i know,i wanted to know if there Is something that the channel Is waiting for

[marsh ibex]

indie directs aren’t leaks tho?

[formal karma]

disagree

[shy stirrup]

I really doubt feb is the date with how much shit is coming out that month

[marsh ibex]

oh yeah people are waiting for february

[fiery coral]

won't be Feb for sure

[coarse leaf]

Unique is still trying to avoid Elden Ring spoilers until February

[shy stirrup]

First 3 months of 2022 are PACKED

[obsidian juniper]

Ah yeah,the Nvidia thing pointed to february

[fiery coral]

release date by/at E3 2022

[empty trench]

My uncle ari just said something pretty useful:

[shy stirrup]

My guess is april-july

[small goblet]

ah, yes
ss disappointment

[fiery coral]

if there's no communication by then, I'd be very surprised

[empty trench]

"Those who dont believe on february are pessimistic"

[obsidian juniper]

Why june?

[signal crag]

I expect only some sorts of communications by then
And not by much

[coarse leaf]

My guess is that Silksong gets done in 2023/2024

[spiral oasis]

Cries

[coarse leaf]

I didn't say anything about a release date, but still

[small goblet]

i don't remember if it was june or july in that leak, both feb and june or july were there

[fiery coral]

better be one of the best games of all time if it takes till 2024

[shy stirrup]

If this is about nividia why are we still believing feb. Its so unlikely and is probably just a placeholder anyways

[signal crag]

A lil’ bit pretentious, aren’t you?

[coarse leaf]

But Cyberpunk 2077 exists

[fiery coral]

wait me or

[opaque sigil]

2024 would only be 5-6 years of fulltime development

[signal crag]

Yeah you

[shell yacht]

unless its a recycled EA sports title games always take way longer than you think.

[shy stirrup]

Unless its kh3 not many games take 6 years

[small goblet]

very unlikely, but still possible, maybe they planned for feb, saw it was leaked and rushed to change it to a bit later? dumb, and i still think it was a placeholder

[marsh ibex]

KH3 had like an engine change didn’t it

[shy stirrup]

Especially indie games (granted, ss is big for an indie)

[fiery coral]

I mean with the amount of stuff they have, and the fact that they would supposedly have been done by now if they didn't keep adding more and more things, it'd be surprising if it extended till 2024 without them having hit a significant roadblock I think

[opaque sigil]

Nah, changing the date wouldn't make sense

[signal crag]

TC is unable to stop adding stuff
It’s both their strength and weakness

[empty trench]

If we hope for an longer estimate like 2024 it will take a thousand of years, its better hope for next dates so time passes fast, like feb, and later e3, etc

[shy stirrup]

Not many people even know about the nivida leak anyways (outside of the hk community yknow)

[signal crag]

I think some game articles talked about that

[sage glade]

they know about the leak. maybe not about silksong

[fiery coral]

yeah which is why I said, if they keep on doing that and it takes till 2024 I'd expect it to be absolutely massive and stellar 🥴

[shy stirrup]

Yea

[brittle garnet]

google literally shows feb 2022 as the release month

[fiery coral]

thanks Google

[opaque sigil]

Yeah it's bad

[sage glade]

gamerant, one's primary source

[shy stirrup]

I feel like jt might be bad if the game is that big

[agile kelp]

We got a release date

[signal crag]

In general anything SS related that MIGHT hint at being closer to release will be talked by some sites
They are somehow as obsessed as us

[fiery coral]

...oh god we're going to have another nuke

oh no

[opaque sigil]

We are

[fiery coral]

oh no no no

[brittle garnet]

Definitely

[shy stirrup]

What?

[signal crag]

Oh Nooooo

[marsh ibex]

hahaha

[agile kelp]

What nuke?

[brittle garnet]

time to start building the shelter

[opaque sigil]

Google's system for detecting dates is not that smart

[marsh ibex]

I sent my money to google

[signal crag]

Leth said they are aware of scope creeping

[marsh ibex]

to make it show that

[agile kelp]

Can someone explain what's going on?

[small goblet]

we're most likely the only ones who get hope from literally anything

[marsh ibex]

YOU FOOLS

[fiery coral]

nothing, it just hit me that the fact that google displays the release window as Feb 2022 will make this channel hellish if it doesn't arrive by then

[obsidian juniper]

The Nvidia "release date" getting closer

[opaque sigil]

It will

[marsh ibex]

that’s not the issue

[signal crag]

We are not fools
We are the entire circus

[agile kelp]

I still have a screenshot of the pins

[marsh ibex]

the issue is that feb 2022 is on goog

[wary timber]

yes

[fiery coral]

we are not fools

[brittle garnet]

not even joking lmao

[fiery coral]

we are in the trenches

[signal crag]

So now it’s certain most people will know about it

[split tide]

Good old google

[fiery coral]

awaiting the attack that is certain to come

[opaque sigil]

Anybody who googled silksong will

[fiery coral]

awaiting the enemy to beach at our shores

[small goblet]

what the fuck

[split tide]

This is why you shouldn’t immediately trust the first page of Google searches

[marsh ibex]

that doesn’t matter

[haughty brook]

I hate it...

[brittle garnet]

so yeah there will be a lot of people expecting February

[fiery coral]

but if I can't trust the Internet who do I trust

[tame widget]

Silksong release date is on the second google page

[small goblet]

trust me then, silksong is never releasing

[fiery coral]

but you're part of the internet

[obsidian juniper]

We need to get unique a theraphist for february

[fiery coral]

I see your game

[trim estuary]

Arm the cannons

[small goblet]

i'm not part of internet, believe me

[ocean mulch]

What why

[sage glade]

@fiery coral wtf how

[tame widget]

how

[fiery coral]

@ocean mulch

Google

[opaque sigil]

(fake info)

[trim estuary]

If google is against us we’re moving to Bing

[fiery coral]

GAMERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT

[marsh ibex]

I believe google auto displays the first result

[trim estuary]

Brb going to file a complaint so this server doesn’t explode

[tame widget]

Bing also say february 2022

[opaque sigil]

It probably does, but that's bad

[trim estuary]

Yahoo!?

[brittle garnet]

in the actual article they do say that it's questionable and probably inaccurate

[obsidian juniper]

Now that i think about it cant sino just stop the chat entirely like with the indie australian event?or the chat Will go apeshit even if you stop it for a moment?

[fiery coral]

as if people will read that

[trim estuary]

Most people don’t dig that deep

[brittle garnet]

I know

[fiery coral]

I know for sure if I was excited about this game on the side, wasn't actually active in the community, and saw that line, I'd believe it

[brittle garnet]

google just fishes out the relevant phrase from the article and displays it

[trim estuary]

No not Mario the browser

[tame widget]

same

[olive bobcat]

[opaque sigil]

Which is the worst possible thing in this scenario

[trim estuary]

They’re all evil

[fiery coral]

they've all conspired against us

[trim estuary]

Let’s go make our own internet

[marsh ibex]

no

[tame widget]

Silknet.com

[marsh ibex]

Don’t you see

We have to make an article

[trim estuary]

[obsidian juniper]

We must sue Google

[marsh ibex]

that would come up when we search up silksong release date

And it simply gives us an unbiased view

AND THEN WE BOT IT

WE PUT IT AT THE TOP SO ITS NOT THE FIRST THING WE CLICK

YES

GAME THE SYSTEM

[fiery coral]

YES

DO IT

[jade canopy]

so who is paying ?

[fiery coral]

I ASSIGN THEE, @marsh ibex, THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING IT ALL

[sage glade]

[marsh ibex]

I only have a hundred bucks in my acc

[fiery coral]

did I stutter

[serene patrol]

Gamerant posts the most hollow knight news KEKW

[marsh ibex]

I’m poor

[fiery coral]

hi poor

[serene patrol]

I follow the topic on google

[olive bobcat]

And Steve Jobs had a garage there's no excuse

[marsh ibex]

Steve Jobs also got insanely lucky and had entrepreneurship in his blood

[serene patrol]

I have half a garage what do i get

[haughty brook]

I looked up, yeag, the google thing is true...

Hey guys! I just wanted to pop in to let you know that Team Cherry does not have any announcements/blogs scheduled for february this year.

[obsidian juniper]

@marsh ibex you must write the article or unique Will have to do it again

[olive bobcat]

Just a few days and we'll have gone all of 2021 with no news

[shell yacht]

remove february for accuracy

[tame widget]

maybe it's better this way

[serene patrol]

Damn is that right?

[trim estuary]

Hey guys! I just wanted to pop in to let you know that Team Cherry does not have any announcements/blogs scheduled for this year.

[serene patrol]

Thats crazy ....

[empty trench]

Lol

[shell yacht]

now have leth say it next week

[trim estuary]

It is, because that means we’re closer than ever to release

[serene patrol]

Thats how time ... works ....

[brittle garnet]

also Leth didn't really deconfirm stuff like the leak because his job is to keep people hyped. Leaving it ambiguous still makes people hyped without giving an answer.

[tame widget]

every days of waiting in this purgatory, Silksong, the light, come closer!

[trim estuary]

Shhhhh

[empty trench]

Untrue

[olive bobcat]

TC can say "There will be no news this year" and the fans will still be like "but they never said there'll be no release"

[serene patrol]

"uUmM aCtUaLly"

if time go slower the faster we get, then the slower we get, the faster the time will flee!
