I wonder how hard writing lines for Hornet is

[high hedge]

Shaaaw!

I want them to just transcribe the audio to text

[haughty brook]

I mean, I think they are not going to write something like a long novel for dialogue alone, so I think it would be fine I guess.

[serene chasm]

Eh. HK has almost 50k words in its script. SS will easily surpass that

[proud vale]

I more mean that’s just going to be double the work to have Hornet actually reply to things

[analog forge]

double is a strong word

Especially when hornets so "to the point"

Shes not exactly a novelist

[serene chasm]

This has been a profound change for Hollow Knight’s sequel and has presented numerous unexpected challenges, not the least of which is all the extra dialogue to write! When your protagonist can talk back, word counts expand fast.

[reef scarab]

I thought this was new for a second

[proud vale]

No blogpost until games release is highly likely unfortunately

[gilded adder]

The blogpost fandom is dying. Retweet if you're a true blogposter.

[proud vale]

1 like = 1 prayer

[gilded adder]

❤️ = 🙏

[warm bone]

👎 = 😈

[gilded adder]

wow gaming rude

[charred pulsar]

[gilded adder]

Simo gets it

[proud vale]

Simo truly a real one

Hope Destiny is treating you well

[silver oak]

The grind never stops

[charred pulsar]

It's treating me well, prepping for new expansion

[hollow terrace]

It has been 6 months

[proud vale]

Oh I thought it was out! Fair man

[hollow terrace]

NO CONTENT

[charred pulsar]

Currently my group is going for Rivensbane title. Lots of little catchup to do Window

[coarse leaf]

you play destiny?

[gilded adder]

Speaking of the grind, I recently started Genshin Impact and it's been quite fun just exploring the world. I don't have a Switch and never played BotW so being able to play something similar is pretty great. Hopefully, lady luck is kind to me when I start pulling...

[hollow terrace]

They should bring back sunsetting

[charred pulsar]

No

[hollow terrace]

Where’s my fomo

[charred pulsar]

So glad that was in and out so fast

[proud vale]

Imagine needing a switch to play breath of the wild

[hollow terrace]

You heard it here folks simo hates sunsets

[warm bone]

[gilded adder]

I don't have a Wii U as well

[coarse leaf]

did nintendo even sell a single Wii U

[proud vale]

You just need a good processor

[serene chasm]

Imagine

[warm bone]

emulation is 😎

[coarse leaf]

recently started playing genshin impact
i'm so sorry to hear that

[warm bone]

sorry for your loss

[gilded adder]

I've been on a gacha kick lately. It was only a matter of time before I dipped my feet into it.

[coarse leaf]

we can still save you

[gilded adder]

It's too late. I'm too far gone.

[tawdry valley]

Wait are you not kidding @gilded adder

[proud vale]

He’s still not past the point of no return yet

[gilded adder]

I am not. I'm being serious. I've played Alchemy Stars, Arknights and now Genshin. I'm taking a break from Arknights but I still log in to Alchemy Stars and am waiting for a specific banner.

[coarse leaf]

i thought genshin was decent and i legitimately stopped playing it because Paimon was just too annoying and my blood would boil everytime i heard her stupid voice

[gilded adder]

I used to play this one gacha a lot when I was younger but it shut down after I stopped playing so I want to relive those memories through other games.

It's been a fun journey so far.

I'm just trying to see what sticks tbh

[tawdry valley]

At least play a good gacha game
Like CS:GO.

[proud vale]

Cookie clicker usually my main grind

[robust pecan]

any news? Any hints at news?

[coarse leaf]

CS:GO players being 3,000 USD in debt after purchasing a red knife

[gilded adder]

Paimon is a annoying but I don't mind her. I usually zone out when she starts talking.

[tawdry valley]

No. Nothing. You lose. Goodbye. See you tomorrow

[gilded adder]

I do like the combat and mechanics in Genshin a lot though from what I've seen. They're very cool and the kits for certain characters seem quite fun and interesting.

[coarse leaf]

what i liked the most about genshin was the art personally

[tawdry valley]

Okay but if you’re gonna play a genre of videogame literally titled “gacha” and built on currency gambling, find something with more engaging base gameplay than genshin bro.

[coarse leaf]

beautiful game

[gilded adder]

Art and graphics are very good, yes.

[hollow terrace]

League

Of legends

[tawdry valley]

Example as to why not to buy games because they look good

[coarse leaf]

i would rather put a toothpick under my toenail and kick a wall than become a league of legends player thank you very much

[proud vale]

Anyone here play spiral knights?

[gilded adder]

Alchemy Stars and Arknights have pretty cool gameplay tbh but I genuinely like the gameplay of switching characters and using elements in Genshin though

Not saying Genshin has the best combat ever but it has made good first impressions.

[olive bobcat]

No Man's Sky, ye?

[tawdry valley]

That would be a screenshot of no mans sky.

[olive bobcat]

Brain did an oops

[coarse leaf]

no mans sky is okayish now

[gilded adder]

YOOOOOO, I used to play that game quite a bit. That brings back memories.

[olive bobcat]

Yeah imo they fixed No Man's Sky

[hollow terrace]

I still want unrealistic space battles

[tawdry valley]

No mana sky costs 60 bucks, and through great trial and error on the developers part, it has now hit the bare minimum for the title “playable videogame” and is still overall buggy 🥴

[proud vale]

Yo same, that game was so good, going on missions with randoms, buying new gear? Was so sick

[hollow terrace]

God damn it I want Star Wars episode 3 opening set

[gilded adder]

Warframe is kind of like that, which I played for a very long time. I remember very little about Spiral Knights though. I remember the dungeons, playing with friends, getting cool gear and all that, yea.

[hollow terrace]

yeah and genshin is free and has no bugs 😎

[tawdry valley]

I would have less issue with the bugs if the game was actually fun. The devs as far as anyone should be concerned have cleared their reputation, but they probably deserve no praise for what is one of the least appealing space exploration games on the market for the price they charge.

[hollow terrace]

any other counterargument will result in a ban

[coarse leaf]

another example of this

[charred pulsar]

This is what i'll say if you want Sunsetting in D2

[hollow terrace]

But

[tawdry valley]

CS:GO a free game. The loot system only encapsulates cosmetics, and no competitive edge.

[gilded adder]

Which game is this?

[coarse leaf]

Halo 5

[tawdry valley]

This is not a counterargument.

[coarse leaf]

what

[gilded adder]

yes but am bad at fps

[tawdry valley]

And csgo has a battle Royal mode. Genshin wins

[coarse leaf]

halo 5's trailer just straight up lied 💀

[hollow terrace]

Too late DDX im banning you i don’t make up the rules (shhh I did but this sake I didn’t)

[coarse leaf]

pretty baller move from 343

[proud vale]

The developer of no man’s sky straight up lied many times lol

[high hedge]

Pretty gamer of them

[tawdry valley]

Anemo will never love you

[coarse leaf]

the man knows how to sell a product

it would of been funnier if he ran off with the money and refused to fix the game

[proud vale]

Sounds like Cubeworld

[high hedge]

Minecraft

[gilded adder]

Oh man, I remember that game.

Isn't the developer working on updates though?

[tawdry valley]

No mans sky literally made up a videogame and then sold another one 🥴

[proud vale]

They had such a good base of that game but then went into hiding pretty much

[gilded adder]

I pre-ordered the alpha and played that before it came out on steam.

Was fun with a friend.

[coarse leaf]

the first rule of business is to just straight up lie about your product

[tawdry valley]

I was under the impression that horse was dead for a while now ()

[hollow terrace]

I love lying why hasn’t TC done this already

[tawdry valley]

Silksong is literally a myth

[high hedge]

You should be on Shark Tank

[coarse leaf]

i should

[proud vale]

After they brought out the actual game, it was so so much worse than the alpha, check the reviews for cubeworld

[gilded adder]

The game had a pre-alpha release on their website around 2013, I think? I remember following it intensively and buying the pre-alpha and playing it. Then there was radio silence for 6 years and then the game came out on Steam in 2019 and seems to have garnered a lot of negative reviews because of the changes they made.

[coarse leaf]

i'll pitch them a fusion reactor that'll actually just be the inside of a washing machine with a lamp in it and run away to indonesia with the money i get from their investments

[gilded adder]

Sharky, you should be a shark on Shark Tank.
But like an actual shark in an actual water tank.

[turbid kite]

that sounds cruel

[coarse leaf]

you're a genius

[high hedge]

“Do you have a working model?”

[hollow terrace]

and die

[proud vale]

Apparently there’s a mod that makes the game what it should be, go figure

[turbid kite]

i think lying about health products on live TV is a better use of sharky's talents

WINDOW???

[coarse leaf]

yes but i left it at home

[turbid kite]

window v sharky????? live in th.

[coarse leaf]

i would obliterate window

[high hedge]

“Oh okay, here’s 100 million and I only need 2 percent.”

[gilded adder]

Two sharks duke it out

[coarse leaf]

look at them

[turbid kite]

you're a shark. your nose would just bend because you're all cartilage

[hollow terrace]

Unlike this rp weirdo im a human being

[turbid kite]

yeah you're in a shark fursuit

[high hedge]

Shark Costume Tank

[tawdry valley]

Thank you Window alt 🙏

[turbid kite]

assuming that all pfps are entirely accurate to their user

[proud vale]

Can confirm

[high hedge]

It’s the same concept but you show up in a Shark costume

[turbid kite]

wait window is also a grievous fan?? 😩

[gilded adder]

You're a real life sock? That's kind of cool.

[coarse leaf]

thanks 🙏

[coarse leaf]

Shut

[tawdry valley]

There are other conclusions to be made.

[turbid kite]

i would change my name and pfp to be "Cat" but i am, unfortunately, on discord

[coarse leaf]

can i get a loan from a bank and then buy the bank

[turbid kite]

but man if i reincarnate as a cat. i'm gonna bite so many people

[high hedge]

Infinite money glitch

[coarse leaf]

with said loan

[turbid kite]

are you proposing you be a loan shark

[coarse leaf]

never speak again

[gilded adder]

"Yes, I would like a million dollars and now I will buy you for a million dollars"

[coarse leaf]

precisely

[turbid kite]

i thought that's the joke you were going for 😩 😩 being shamed for my massive thoughts

[coarse leaf]

Oh
Right

I’ll just take my leave before I am muted for impersonation

[trim estuary]

!mute @coarse leaf 12h impersonation

[coarse leaf]

I have no alts i swear

[trim estuary]

[tribal schooner]

How many days without SilkSong news I haven’t checked in awhile

[tawdry valley]

Something something General Kenobi, something something cost you an arm and a leg.

Over a year

[coarse leaf]

an alternative way to get rich would be to go on the X factor with a really sad backstory that is made up entirely so they press the golden buzzer out of pity like they do every time

[serene chasm]

10000000000000

[hollow terrace]

Near the conclusion of this day, im the cooler person with a shark pfp

Therefore im resigning the pfp

[coarse leaf]

woah woah woah

[turbid kite]

wtf no

oh god window's gonna change skins?

[trim estuary]

[proud vale]

Skins

[high hedge]

Gonna become Right Shark?

[turbid kite]

no longer calling fursuits fursuits. they're skins now

window's always Right

[serene chasm]

skinsuits

[hollow terrace]

And right facing I will become

[turbid kite]

this is going to inspire so many bad feeligns in me

[gilded adder]

So have people seen that new Elmo reaction image with him staring with massive hatred in his heart? It's pretty hilarious.

[high hedge]

Right Window

[coarse leaf]

this feels wrong

[turbid kite]

window it's nighttime for you right

[tawdry valley]

Wait fuck

It’s almost mid January

[high hedge]

Now it’s like you and Sharky are looking at each other

[coarse leaf]

yeeee

[tawdry valley]

February is like right fucking there

[turbid kite]

left-facing window at the start of the day, right-facing window at the end of the day. like closed parentheses. except shark

[hollow terrace]

Yeah, Will you read me a bedtime story?

[turbid kite]

i can't read

[gilded adder]

Silksong news COPIUM

[hollow terrace]

COPIUM WATCH

[tawdry valley]

I don’t care about Silksong. This is my pride on the line

[coarse leaf]

i am going to sleep so i can have two hours for my exams

[turbid kite]

silksong will release on my birthday

[coarse leaf]

goodnight

[fathom peak]

LMAO WHAT IS THAT

[turbid kite]

ddx that's just motivation for tc to not release ss

[hollow terrace]

Guys it’s sock birthday today btw!!!

give him money

[tawdry valley]

Everyone ping and dm sock your best wishes 🎊

[turbid kite]

i keep forgetting to clarify that if you actually give me free things, i will not feel indebted and will not repay you in any way

[tawdry valley]

Send friend requests and free nitro links to show your appreciation ♥️

[turbid kite]

since people actually do sometimes give me free things. sorry lads i'm rich so i'm also incredibly greedy

[tawdry valley]

You keep the pfp gifs fresh, so

[turbid kite]

the other asian fellas fighting for the paycheck, meanwhile i'm there straight up saying "i am offering to pay to be polite. if you refuse, i WILL leave you with this entire bill."

i do this with food too. i will tell you that i am only offering the last bite out of courtesy and will be sad if you take it

[tawdry valley]

This is like pointing out where to punch you to knock you out

[turbid kite]

i make up for it by giving them free desserts

[tawdry valley]

Oh you like vanilla and there’s only one left?

[turbid kite]

facts

[proud vale]

Solid clip

[turbid kite]

i have no clue what this means though. am i just eating the entire concept of vanilla

[trim estuary]

Where’s the frog

[turbid kite]

its 11 pm i do not have reading comprehension

ALSO hot tip. recipes are always like "1 teaspoon of vanilla" bro just dump it in

[tawdry valley]

U curve, porcelain

[untold raptor]

not me getting a samsung laptop that runs windows just for when ss releases

[turbid kite]

and if it tells you to cream your butter and sugar. that shit better b room temperature. and if you gotta mix that fucker for like, 5 minutes straight.

@ tc y'all this person bought a laptop just for ss please drop ss please

[tawdry valley]

If it says chocolate it means add chocolate and coffee

[turbid kite]

SO TRUE

[trim estuary]

Just get a virtual machine

[gilded adder]

Sock's Savory Treats? A sequel to Graig's Gardening Guide?

[trim estuary]

Graig’s Guarding Guide

[untold raptor]

nah i need windows for other games too

[turbid kite]

and in all "spicy" desserts like pumpkin pie. add like, half a teaspoon of ground ginger. it adds so much

[trim estuary]

Oh okay

[hollow terrace]

I wished people need me

get it because windows

[turbid kite]

sometimes i'll see recipes ask for like, just 1/8th of a teaspoon of ground ginger. pathetic.

[tawdry valley]

Dietz DeliciouX nuts was already taken 🙁

[hollow terrace]

And my nickname

[hollow terrace]

i make myself scared because of immaculate genius of comedy

[turbid kite]

other sock hot tips. if you want a softer cookie, replace some of the white sugar with brown sugar. it has more moisture. if you want a crispier cookie, either replace some brown sugar (if there is any) with white sugar, or add more white sugar

[tawdry valley]

Or just add cinnamon

[turbid kite]

that's not the same

if you just want to change the texture, you don't want to add in another flavor

[tawdry valley]

I know brown sugar is not cinnamon

[proud vale]

Also brown the butter if you want a richer flavour

[turbid kite]

if you know how to brown butter though. how

[tawdry valley]

Witchcraft

[turbid kite]

that shit is like "uh oh sorry but the butter burned while you were pouring it into a bowl"

[tawdry valley]

Witchcraft

[proud vale]

Fair, butter can be fickle

[hollow terrace]

Silly you roast the butter

[turbid kite]

i also haven't had brown butter before, so i can't tell if i'm doing it right 😩

[tawdry valley]

Unless you use witchcraft

[proud vale]

You simply ask the butter nicely

[turbid kite]

the closest i've come to witchcraft is gardening

dirt soup. kidnapped worms

i frequently spirit worms away to my compost bin

also finding peanuts from squirrels??

[gilded adder]

Speaking of stuff like this, I once ate a spoonful of wasabi thinking it was guacamole. I haven't been the same since.

[tawdry valley]

“Bippity boppity brown🎵”

[turbid kite]

jonny they're not even remotely close in texture

i mean maybe fresh wasabi

[tawdry valley]

Poof, browned butter

[gilded adder]

They are both green and I was young and dumb so I just put a bunch in my mouth right away

[proud vale]

I thought that was a pizza

[tawdry valley]

On an unrelated note, Mint chocolate icecream and wasabi mix well.

[turbid kite]

i'm just imagining the very classic ball of dry-looking green stuff and jonny going "ah, what a perfect truffle-sized ball of guac"

mint chocolate is disgusting

[tawdry valley]

Mint chocolate is the best worst icecream flavor.

[turbid kite]

once i made cookies w/ chocolate i'd stored w/ mint extract and i couldn't finish them. they were contaminated

[tawdry valley]

Also you obviously haven’t had peppermint hot chocolate

[turbid kite]

i also want to know if i'll develop lung problems if i just replace mint essential oil w/ mint extract in my humidifier

peppermint hot chocolate is bad that's why

[tawdry valley]

So sayeth sir pity donut

[proud vale]

You could always try the cookies in the humidifier

[tawdry valley]

What?

[turbid kite]

i have attempted donuts twice and making donuts sucks

i did them well until it came to the deep frying part 😔 my oil was too hot

[gilded adder]

That's why they're called donuts. Because you DO NUT make them.

[turbid kite]

my family doesn't even like sugar that much so i just had three containers of donuts that no one was eating </33333

[gilded adder]

[proud vale]

I made popcorn chicken once, deep frying is hard

[turbid kite]

it's scary

[proud vale]

Also that’s when you start your donut business

[gilded adder]

I'm getting deja vu from this frying conversation.

I feel like we had this one long ago.

[turbid kite]

from what i can tell, older mother figures having no fear of god or hot oil is a common experience

i'm sitting there wishing i was in full hazmat, while my mom is in short sleeves frying bread

[gilded adder]

Can confirm. My mom is like this too.

[turbid kite]

it's worse because my mom actually does get burned so 😭

[proud vale]

[serene chasm]

me pulling something from the oven: oven mits and a dish towel for extra protection

my mom: fuck that shit, bare handed

[turbid kite]

FR

my mom uses a dish towel and those bad boys are threadbare

[proud vale]

It’s worse when the dish towel is wet, the heat just conducts right through it

[turbid kite]

i've also seen her cut through thick-skinned fruit with just her nails

i need a sharpened knife to cut through rambutan but clearly my mom is built different

[proud vale]

Can’t you just smash a rambutan with your hand or something

[tulip drift]

How.

[turbid kite]

no the outside is more of a leathery thing

peeling rambutan is a prime monkey brain experience too

it's up there with eating stale bread and cold cheese

[spare kite]

With her hands

[proud vale]

Monkey brain OP

[turbid kite]

there's also a specific feeling of sipping an overfull mug or bowl in the dead of winter

[turbid kite]

imo the whole appeal of crawfish is monkey brain reasons. crawfish where i am is not good enough to be buying otherwise

[serene chasm]

I never thought people would eat those. I remember catching them as a kid at the lake

[proud vale]

I really wish winter was more intense here in AUS, I can barely layer up at all

[charred pulsar]

What do you wish? single digit degrees?

[proud vale]

Yes

[charred pulsar]

Single digit is rare hey

[proud vale]

I think I’ll have to move to Canberra

[charred pulsar]

Heard it's cold there

[proud vale]

Yeah very rare especially around NSW

Yeah quite cold, have no idea why though because VIC isn’t that cold

[charred pulsar]

Growing up I heard VIC was a cold 'bad weather' state, but honestly all states except NT/QLD are pre much the same

[proud vale]

True, English people got lazy when they coded the weather for AUS

Needs more variety, 4/10

Also it’s been rainy as hell here for the past couple weeks which doesn’t help with the humidity

[serene chasm]

I can give you some of our weather ||this was last week, its warmed up since then||

[proud vale]

That is disgusting btw

[split tide]

I like rain

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, rain is cool

[serene chasm]

Rain good

[proud vale]

Not to mention the ‘feels like -40’ what the shit

[serene chasm]

At a certain point it doesnt matter. Cold is cold

[shy kiln]

Mr.Incredible voice intensifies

[proud vale]

True, I wish we could plus our temperatures together curly

[serene chasm]

By our powers combined! We are mild temperatures

[proud vale]

Snowing over there?

Zero celcius is not my idea of mild

[serene chasm]

Currently no. When it gets that cold, it cant really snow

[serene chasm]

casual

[proud vale]

I’d say 18-20 is mild

[serene chasm]

Sunny but with a very light breeze

[proud vale]

Indeed

[shy kiln]

There was a GameRant article in my Google Homepage saying ‘Why SilkSong would be more memorable if it skipped 2022’ that title alone was enough to make me not click on the page

[opaque sigil]

0C is not that cold

Currently like -6C where I am, going to be -15 tomorrow. Finally getting winter weather

[shy kiln]

When winter is about to end, I see

[proud vale]

Okay I suddenly don’t like the cold anymore

[cerulean sable]

morrowind style combat for SS

yay or yay?

[serene chasm]

how would that work?

[cerulean sable]

basically imagine like skyrim

[opaque sigil]

Haven't played morrowind but since it's a different type of game I'd hazard a guess nay

[cerulean sable]

but even hitting someone infront of you has a % chance to hit

[serene chasm]

skyrim and morrowind have very different styles of combat

[cerulean sable]

so both of your there are standing still hitting each other but theres still a dice roll

[opaque sigil]

Nay. Emphatically nay.

[serene chasm]

So basically you would have to manage hornets stamina and level up her needle skill

[cerulean sable]

basically

[serene chasm]

As an action game, dice rolls wouldnt work very well

[cerulean sable]

and there are now stats like +5 attack speed or +20 fire resist

[cunning geode]

why would you say these things

[opaque sigil]

SS has been reworked into an open world rpg and now, in collaboration with Bethesda, will be considered Elder Scrolls VI

Didn't you hear

[proud vale]

I would counterpropose a bloons tower defence style combat

[cerulean sable]

god i am somewhat reminded of new vegas

reminds me of how fucking underdeveloped the legion's questline was

[serene chasm]

new vegas level speech checks in ss

[cerulean sable]

for example
Camp Forlorn Hope

• NCR side:
  You are tasked with increasing morale to the camp, either doing these delivery missions, finding the guys stealing the medical supplies, getting intel support from 6 different ranger camps, helping the doctor with treating his patients, or killing legionnaires, taking their ears as bounty

eventually you can suggest to attack Nelson to stop the raids on Camp Forlorn hope definitely, if you do a lot of the side-subquests youll get accompanied by other NCR members ranging from decent grunts, all the way to NCR Veteran Rangers (these fucking guys)

meanwhile

• Legion side:
  "Okay how do i help you guys"
  "Well if youre so tough, how about you attack the base and kill everyone there?"

and... thats the quest for their side

NCR Side

Legion Side

[serene chasm]

Factions in SS?

[cerulean sable]

pick ur side
New Symphony Coalition
or
The Holy Choir of Pharloom

[versed pollen]

Can I use the deep fryer

[cerulean sable]

perhaps

[serene chasm]

No. Not after last time

[tawdry valley]

@cerulean sable why the fuck did I go NCR

[narrow lava]

the team really didnt do much for the legion, all of your companions dont like Caesars legion, save 2, a dog and a robot

[tawdry valley]

My character is literally designed around the concept of being a terrifying meathead.

Powerfisted my way up the mojave

[narrow lava]

god, NV was such a fun game, all the sides were really cool, but the legion wasnt fun to play

my first playthrough was a gunslinging cowboy, loved me those pistols

[serene chasm]

Had that Big Iron on yer hip?

[high hedge]

For a second I thought you were describing Grievous

[narrow lava]

ofcourse

[versed pollen]

Sorry. I've already overflowed half the restaurant in molten molybdenum. I apologize for the trail of mercury I left behind

[narrow lava]

I decided to go with that build after hearing the song, was hoping to find that gun lmao

[cerulean sable]

bro i only play NCR

[serene chasm]

Is there a gun called Big Iron in NV?

[narrow lava]

not that I am aware

[cerulean sable]

no, the big iron is usually attributed to the Hunting Revolver/Ranger Sequoia

[proud vale]

From my experience in Outer Worlds (like 3 hours) I don’t like having to make choices about who to align with

[high hedge]

You can get by with just killing whoever you feel like

[olive bobcat]

Now the spider started talkin', made it plain to bugs around
Was a Hallownesian spider, wouldn't be too long in town
She came here to take a Weaver back alive or maybe dead
And she said it didn't matter, she was after Pharloom Red

[cerulean sable]

basically the late game revolver that uses .45-70 Government as the ammo, its essentially a mini sniper rifle

[high hedge]

But that game is a lot of choosing between factions

Like you settle one dispute and move on to the next

[narrow lava]

god I am so hyped for fallout 4 new vegas

[proud vale]

I accidentally killed the mayor of the starting down by accident and couldn’t fking roll back the save

[cerulean sable]

if thats even coming out 😔

[proud vale]

Totally killed my immersion

[high hedge]

Tragic

[cerulean sable]

i unironically only bought 4 just for the mod ngl

[narrow lava]

eventually, one day, maybe around the time SS comes out

[serene chasm]

[serene chasm]

Maybe it will come out when Skywind does

[opaque sigil]

If anything I should think killing somebody and not being able to roll back the save would be more immersive

[proud vale]

Fair Tammo, guess I have to roleplay living with the guilt of my sins

Game was extremely on tracks though, not my thing

[fiery coral]

switch back to the other game with OW initials

[cerulean sable]

Silksong All Glory Kill Animations [Gore On: Max] (Silk Killer Difficulty) (Pure Stealth)

[proud vale]

Outer Worlds
Outer Wilds

One of the least on track games ever once you get past the tutorial

[serene chasm]

I dont want shit on outer worlds but man am I glad I played it on game pass

[opaque sigil]

Outer Worlds is kinda just one of those mediocre games

[warm bone]

isn't it like fallout or something

[opaque sigil]

Like it's a perfectly fine game. Not really good, not bad.

[opaque sigil]

Kinda

[serene chasm]

I think people were expecting New Vegas 2

[narrow lava]

I found it funny and fun, it shouldnt have been a 60$ game tho, even 30$ is high

[sacred stratus]

TBH most AAA games aren’t worth 60%

[warm bone]

here is a question I am curious about, what AAA games do you guys believe deserve their pricepoint

[cunning geode]

Guilty Gear Strive

[serene chasm]

I just miss when games were actually 60$

[cunning geode]

Sekiro is also worth 60$

[opaque sigil]

eh

[warm bone]

tbh most fromsoft games are worth

especially

[opaque sigil]

Most AAAs are worth $60, that's just how the industry is

[cunning geode]

these two examples are just games I got near the end of 2021

most of my favorite games are, however, very cheap

[opaque sigil]

What a person would consider to be worth $60 isn't about the game so much as the person's tastes

[warm bone]

that's the reason I asked the question

[cunning geode]

well, then the question was still answered because Gaming asked our opinions

[opaque sigil]

My opinion is that games that are made in that fashion are probably all deserving of the $60 price point

[cunning geode]

alright

[serene chasm]

Now Im trying to remember the last game I bought at full price. I think it was Witcher 3, which I think was worth the price

[opaque sigil]

Although I will note that FE3H was a particularly good $60

[warm bone]

I bought that for like $3

that game goes on some crazy sales

[fiery coral]

Ghost of Tsushima was great

[opaque sigil]

playstation exclusive tho

[serene chasm]

Ghosts of Tsushima for PC when

[opaque sigil]

Give it five years and maybe

[warm bone]

exclusives 🤮

[serene chasm]

I dont have 5 years dammit

Ok Ill admit. Ill never actually buy it

[warm bone]

sony more like phony

[opaque sigil]

True you could also wait for serviceable emulation ig

[warm bone]

that's like 2 decades

[opaque sigil]

What system was it for?

PS4 or 5?

[warm bone]

both?

[opaque sigil]

Well ps4 emulation can't be that far off

It's like almost a decade old isn't it

[warm bone]

we need to hope so, lest I may go hollow

[proud vale]

We have the technology

[warm bone]

https://tenor.com/view/slam-smash-computer-slow-rage-gif-15806211

[proud vale]

Persona fans be like

[opaque sigil]

Apparently ps4 emulators are a thing

[warm bone]

for 2d games, sort of

[opaque sigil]

Probably not great yet but still

[warm bone]

almost nothing yet for 3d games

[opaque sigil]

Just a matter of time

[warm bone]

true, I can wait

I would rather wait than cave in and buy a console I don't need

[opaque sigil]

Still kinda surprised it hasn't happened yet

[warm bone]

I'm not, playstation literally modeled their hardware, from ps3 and up, to be nearly impossible to emulate

cause sony is just so consumer friendly aren't they

[opaque sigil]

I mean ig it's an understandable instinct but like really I don't think emulation would hurt them much

By the time systems are decently emulated they're often on the way out anyways

[warm bone]

yeah, they are a remnant from back when consoles treated pcs like competition instead of their rightful role as a partner in crime, you could say

[opaque sigil]

And at the end of the day the main thing emulators do is ensure longevity of games

[warm bone]

look what microsoft is doing and how successful it's been for them to port most of their games on pc

I think that all games will eventually be emulated

[opaque sigil]

Well that's microsoft, they have two horses in that race

[warm bone]

true

like i wanted to play some ps3 games and I looked for those games on steam, demon's souls and persona 5, but they were not there. My hand was forced into pirating those games because I have no other option to play those games besides an emulator.

[opaque sigil]

Well at least if there's really no way to legitimately access them reasonably it's not like you're just doing it because you wanna play the games for free

[warm bone]

I would pay if they gave me the option

speaking of this, god of war 2018 is coming to steam on friday which I think is very promising

[opaque sigil]

Oh yeah, I was half considering getting that. Probably won't ig

[warm bone]

If sony continues to port their old games to pc, I feel like we can achieve a happy medium of pc still getting the games eventually, but console nerds still being able to get them when pc players don't.

[opaque sigil]

Yeah I do think that sort of model works, "timed exclusives" or whatever it's called

[warm bone]

yeah

[opaque sigil]

Horizon Zero Dawn was the same way

[warm bone]

I heard that game was good but the port is bad

[opaque sigil]

Worked fine for me

[warm bone]

I just read the steam reviews

[opaque sigil]

Although performance could have been better. Was def playable though

[warm bone]

that's the main concern I have with this, the performance

but I don't think it'll be that much of an issue

alright, now bbpc when

[opaque sigil]

Like I said, it was definitely playable, and my computer has weird performance issues anyways

[proud vale]

I’m actually keen to play horizon zero dawn but when it comes out on game pass

[opaque sigil]

Sure seems like never

[warm bone]

I think bloodborne will be a launch tittle for pc2

[opaque sigil]

Bloodborne is one of those things of which I know basically nothing but whenever something about it does come up it just seems really cool

Although in general fromsoft games just aren't my thing

[warm bone]

they are my thing, but yes I agree that bbpc will probably never happen without emulation

🥲

[opaque sigil]

Well I'm probably going to live long enough to see that be a reasonable thing

[warm bone]

speaking of, here is the daily bbpc rumor

[opaque sigil]

[warm bone]

on r/gamingleaksandrumors of course

[opaque sigil]

Low effort

[warm bone]

the most reliable place for bbpc news

[cunning geode]

jordanm31

[fiery coral]

Verified

[warm bone]

never heard of this guy either

but he's verified so I trust him with my life

[fiery coral]

[fringe pulsar]

:ci

[uncut citrus]

Fair enough

Ok now literally it’s the 11 I got nitro the 9th last month

How

[hearty tendon]

you mean gloomwood ?

[tawdry palm]

@lucid patio 👀

[lucid patio]

...OH

[tawdry palm]

Surprise B

[lucid patio]

STOP THIS

[tawdry palm]

ok

😛

[lucid patio]

oh we talkin' bloodborne

...i need to actually play that beyond the hour i already put into it

[stoic path]

I can't even get past the first boss

Game is hard as heck

[cunning geode]

Wish I could play it

but no PS

[rotund aurora]

ps now has it

[cunning geode]

uhm, I think you misunderstood

PlayStation has always had it. exclusively

I don’t have a PlayStation

[sage glade]

they mean ps now, the pc game streaming service

[cunning geode]

Oh what?

That’s pretty cool

Ah but it’s a subscription so that’s much less cool

[rotund aurora]

Yea. You have to pay and subscription and buy the game I think tho

[cunning geode]

No thanks

[sage glade]

the subscription costs less than the game tho

u could finish it in a month and be done with it

[rotund aurora]

True

[cunning geode]

but I don’t want that. I want to keep it

[sage glade]

[cunning geode]

I ain’t gonna let some subscription hurry me

[rotund aurora]

pirate it

[cunning geode]

aye, only if I’m desperate. I don’t really care right now

[elfin swift]

oh man i've been binging through bloodborne for the last week or so

[sacred stratus]

what are you guys talking about?

[elfin swift]

it took a while to get a hang of the parry-shot timing, and also to be frank some of the bigger bosses are just miserable and annoying. i think from was still getting their sea-legs on building big monster boss fights because the camera angles on some of them were awful

[sacred stratus]

oh yeah I've heard that the camera in Bloodborne gets fucked when fighting a large beast

[elfin swift]

it's especially bad with the first (technically optional) boss, the cleric beast

which can be a bit of a slog cause you don't do all that much damage that early in the game

[sacred stratus]

I'm glad FromSoft's camera got better and better over time

[elfin swift]

yea with ds3 i think they just fucking nailed the big dramatic boss fight

[sacred stratus]

it's super fucked in DS1 but actually pretty good in Sekiro and DS3

[elfin swift]

but otherwise finding bloodborne really fun! i loved just plunging deeper and deeper into the city. the thing i really wasn't expecting being able to knock on doors and listen to random nameless citizens, and feel like there's an actual city full of people you're existing in and exploring.

[sacred stratus]

except for nameless king

I want bloodborne so bad!!! but I don't have a playstation

[elfin swift]

there's something about that weird personal interaction of strangers talking to each other through a window or a curtain or a door that i find very atmospheric

ahhh yea i only just got my grubby fingers on one! my parents were like so did you get a game to go with that brand new high-tech console you got? and i'm like yea i got a 7 year old ps4 game for it

[sacred stratus]

bruh a PS5 costs here around 1000$

[elfin swift]

holy shit really

[sacred stratus]

yes (at least the only one I got to see in a gaming store)

[elfin swift]

oh my god i just noticed i still have my username here set to 'december division' rip

[sacred stratus]

and you know what infuriates me?

[elfin swift]

bitcoin miners buying up all the cpus creating enormous stupid scarcity in all manner of electronics?

[sacred stratus]

that most people buying a PS5 are just gonna play Warzone and Fifa instead of actually playing games exclusive to the platform so the console goes to waste basically

why buy your kid a PS5 if he's just gonna play Fortnite?

[elfin swift]

i got returnal for mine, just cause jacob geller had a lot of high praise for it in his top 10 games of 2021

what're the other big ps5 exclusives? god of war 2, horizon forbidden west, demon's souls

[sacred stratus]

Ratchet and Clank

[elfin swift]

though i guess tbf most of those are aimed more at an older audience, rather than kids who'd have their system bought for them by parents

plus any exclusives from the last gen, like bloodborne

[sacred stratus]

nah most buyers are kids that are just gonna play Fortnite / Warzone

[dusty nimbus]

Shame

[sacred stratus]

bloodborne PC port plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[dusty nimbus]

It can only be wished

[sacred stratus]

Sony got a masterpiece from Miyazaky and did absolutely nothing with it

[elfin swift]

according to sony's data, the PS5 is most popular with players aged 31-36, so that'd be the primary demographic

[sacred stratus]

woah that's... unexpected

here in my country there aren't many adults playing video games (not counting candy crush)

[elfin swift]

huh interesting

video games are such an insanely huge industry these days, i wouldn't be surprised if that isn't changing in a lot of countries worldwide

[sacred stratus]

I imagined that for instance in the US most PS5 are either sold to crypto bros and parents gifting PS5s to their children for christmas

[elfin swift]

one other interesting thing from the sony data release is that the original playstation was most popular with the 13-18 age range, so their primary audience today would be people who first grew up exposed to the ps as teens

[sacred stratus]

well that's actually expected since back in the day gaming was mainly a teen only hobby

[elfin swift]

psych of play had a neato lil vid on the relationship between personality and what you play/why you enjoy playing video games, and in it he brought up a pair of really cool papers that went more nitty gritty into why exactly people play video games

[carmine sapphire]

another day

[sacred solstice]

I mean I play a lot of warzone

But I do play a lot of exclusives

[sacred stratus]

no shame in that I'm just saying that kids don't need a PS5 or series X/S bcs all they usually play is available on current gen consoles for free

[sacred solstice]

Also I’ve played all fromsoft games. Waiting on Elden ring baby

[sacred stratus]

ER hype train choo choo

[sacred solstice]

Ayyy

46 days dawg

[sacred stratus]

like imagine if you spent 500$ for a PS5 for your kid and then the only thing he plays on that is Fortnite which he already played on his PS4 it's like the PS5 doesn't matter

[elfin swift]

these were the categories the researchers narrowed down, for what exactly people enjoy in different games. which can lead to a bit of disconnect when it comes to like, critical analysis of video games in general and any specific games, just from how many different things people can want out of the experience or what things they just have no interest in

i feel like at this stage too getting a ps5 is a kind of hedge-your-bets things in anticipation for upcoming games

like it's a pretty new console all things considered, the best is really yet to come

[sacred stratus]

I play fantasy games for the unique setting and gameplay

[limpid plover]

If I had a Ps5 I'd just play Elden ring and Des remake.

[elfin swift]

i hear returnal is great, v excited to get around to it

[limpid plover]

And my already existing ps4 game at 60 fps

[sacred solstice]

Out of all those main 3 for me are discovery, fantasy and challenge

Oh and excitement

Challenge for is a big one, makes the game more fun

[coarse leaf]

competition is good until im playing against someone who's better than me which is most of the time

[elfin swift]

interesting enough, part of the research was also on how gaming motivations correlated with each other, and they found this rough set of correlaries

[sacred solstice]

Well unless is gamebreaking or near to impossible

If that’s accurate im a yellow circle guy

Although I don’t mind Any of it

[coarse leaf]

i'm a mix of yellow and blue i think

[sacred solstice]

Except maybe completion

I just play anything that’s fun

[young saffron]

silkysongy

[elfin swift]

yeah i think discovery and fantasy (and probably community, though that's not entirely my cup of tea) are the most genuinely unique and full-of-potential tools that games as a medium give you. the entire piece being driven by the player's input of whatever game pieces they're given, the way the visuals/music build space that you occupy and interact with, like, i think that's where you get the stuff that really makes you go 'nothing like this could've existed without video games as medium'

[stone wyvern]

Hussein in main 😱

[young saffron]

im getting closer to finally being able to download large ass games

[young saffron]

so I can finally play the games I want

[coarse leaf]

download warzone just to destroy your storage

[elfin swift]

even stick-hoop

[young saffron]

country so shit they dont provide unlimited internet 🙄

[young saffron]

I wanna play
warframe, apex, rdr2, horizon zero dawn, control, plague tale innocence, db4dl
and so on

[elfin swift]

ahh i really want to play plague tale too

[young saffron]

tho it takes 9/10 hours for 30gb but I go school so I can just download during that time

[sacred solstice]

Sup

[young saffron]

I got it for free from epic games 💀
the only game in that list I dont own is rdr2 :o

[elfin swift]

my conclusion: rdr2 has too many buttons

[stone wyvern]

Dont play warzone its ass

utter dogwater

[coarse leaf]

warzone is fun if u just piss around with ur mates

[elfin swift]

i returned it like after one day. so many systems and subsystems for selecting bullets and soothing your horse and putting bullets in your horse's bullet case and whistling through your teeth to make deer panic or whatever

[sacred solstice]

Maybe you’re ass

[ocean mulch]

Hussein? Nah fam this is an illusion

[coarse leaf]

horses genital size shifting based on weather

[sacred solstice]

Shows more than half the controls in the bottom right

[elfin swift]

exactly too many buttons too many submenus and subsystems. i got lost trying to find hte save menu

[stone wyvern]

Ok but you have to agree

[coarse leaf]

maybe there's such thing as too realistic

[sacred solstice]

No, warzone is fun

[stone wyvern]

warzone just aint it

[coarse leaf]

warzone is a laugh

if ur bad and with mates and i imagine it's fun if ur actually good

[stone wyvern]

300GB for a wonky ass battle royale

[young saffron]

was never interested in it

[sacred solstice]

Playing it with the homies after school is fun af

[stone wyvern]

[elfin swift]

i also didn't like dutch. the game was so predicated on arthur's connection to him and the way the entire gang feels their future and fortune is bound to him and his abilities, but he just felt like a dude in a fur coat trying to sell me something. and yes i get that that's the point i get it i just couldn't deal with a whole game of being dragged out of open world exploration to play train robbers with skeevy fur hat man

[coarse leaf]

^

[young saffron]

I rly wanna play horizon zero dawn

[sacred solstice]

You sure it’s 300gb lmao

[elfin swift]

i think it's my fault i just expected rdr2 to be more of a pure role playing open world thing

[coarse leaf]

is that the one with the robots

[young saffron]

Brother already owns the game in his steam account so I can just play it from there
need to download it tho :v
so yea

[young saffron]

yes

[coarse leaf]

what rdr2 really needs is a battle royale

[stone wyvern]

Single player games that have co-op are the shit

[coarse leaf]

i have to agree

[sacred solstice]

Hld

[stone wyvern]

No co op mid

[young saffron]

cuphead :v

[elfin swift]

i've never played a soulsborne game with multiplayer before

[coarse leaf]

halo

[young saffron]

wait do you mean it in a good way or?

[sacred solstice]

Play hld extra

[stone wyvern]

Good way

[sacred solstice]

Ive played BB coop and it’s funny as shit

[young saffron]

I wish I could play
bloodborne
Zelda BOTW

but no ps4 or nintendo

[stone wyvern]

I will when I finish playing Deep Rock (i wont finish)

[coarse leaf]

deep rock is so boring

[sacred solstice]

Lmao

[young saffron]

why not just put bloodborne and zelda on pc now? its been so long and they have sold so well :/

[stone wyvern]

Objectively wrong

[sacred solstice]

Zelda on pc lmao

[coarse leaf]

there's literally 3 different things to do

[stone wyvern]

You must’ve played by yourself

[coarse leaf]

i played with friends

[elfin swift]

what's it like to be exploring the twilight yonder of the nightmare frontier trying to unravel the implications of your actions in undoing the ritual secrets of byrgenwerth only for BigTeetus6969 to come dodge rolling at you out of the blue totally naked wielding a big wheel they try to hit you to death with

[stone wyvern]

In warzone there’s one thing to do

[coarse leaf]

but there's other players so it's funny

[young saffron]

yes please
I legit have no interest in buying a nintendo switch

[coarse leaf]

and death comms so i can shout at people beyond the grave

[stone wyvern]

Risk of rain 2 is peak as well

[sacred solstice]

Death comms are so funny

[wintry wagon]

[stone wyvern]

Hi george omg I’m a huge fan 💅💅✨✨✨

[elfin swift]

it just came out. we all just finished playing it. team cherry just took it off steam though, so only the cool kids were allowed to see the game

[sacred solstice]

Extra stop

Cursed

[stone wyvern]

Ah just like ye old cod mw lobbies

[wintry wagon]

I Am Cat Boy Hot

[carmine sapphire]

[coarse leaf]

no way

[stone wyvern]

[young saffron]

why cant team cherry release that small gameplay in e3 to steam for free likea demo

[coarse leaf]

because you're not allowed nice things

[young saffron]

but honestly I dont see why not
It would calm the fans down for a bit

[random valley]

It could result in data mining and taking time to remove stuff would be a lot of time away from development

[young saffron]

oh yea I forgot abt that.

[elfin swift]

they also probably want the entire game to be experienced in one playthrough and think breaking it up into a demo preview and then a final game later would be against their vision for the game. and also if they released a demo every last drop of info would be squeezed out of it and dissected and paraded all over the internet, and entering the game with a sense of wonder and mystery seems to be very important to them

[coarse leaf]

[stone wyvern]

[random valley]

Think about that one sun and moon Pokémon demo. Team Cherry is popular enough for that kinda stuff to happen to their games

[coarse leaf]

he has a hollow knight vid too, on deepnest

[ocean mulch]

Deepnest is my favorite area

[coarse leaf]

r u a psychopath

[ocean mulch]

No

[elfin swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY3QmJnKCkc might find this interesting then

[coarse leaf]

i think that's a stretch it's just a little spooky

[elfin swift]

analysis on the technical construction of deepnest's atmosphere

[young saffron]

imo deepnest was not that scary.. it was a pain tho

[ocean mulch]

DEEPNEST DOESN'T SUCK TAKE THAT BACKKKK

[elfin swift]

i don't think it was scary in a 'oh no i feel horror i need to draw my feet under the blankets' way, but it does create a really interesting vibe of 'this isn't right' and making the whole area feel like a space that's just inherently uncanny and dangerous

[ocean mulch]

To me it felt like a warm couch

Spiders are my bros

[elfin swift]

the vid talks a bit about how deepnest's mechanics kick the player in the nuts in terms of how they expect to be able to play the game and explore normally, and just you feel so unwanted there in a way you aren't elsewhere

which i think is more than just 'it's kinda spooky' right. cause like that's the whole story of deepnest, the pale king's attempted railway and colonization of the edges of the area, hallownest tried to make entry into the nest and nest did not want them there, and consumed them. and the atmosphere of the environment tells that entire story without you needing to read any lore documents

[limpid plover]

True don't understand why people dislike that area so much.

[elfin swift]

i think a lot of the 'dislike' is just played up exaggeration. like, oh this area is kinda spooky and has an off-putting atmosphere, just cranking up your reaction to it for comedic/dramatic effect

[neat palm]

Still vaporware?

[charred pulsar]

December Division gang still exists?

[elfin swift]

i forgot to change my nickname rip

You're probably hoping for December 2022

they just like black and white i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s black and white because Australians don’t have access to the latest technology due to them being so isolated from the rest of the world

you'll be there too if you dont stop talking like that.

[young phoenix]

I’ve done rhog I’ll be fine

[lost coyote]

hes cranking away in my basement with william and jack developing silksong

[young phoenix]

Well then you know that silksong will come out in 2070 correct?

[merry narwhal]

Can you ask him what he thinks of MatPat’s theory

[lost coyote]

he says it is 100% correct

[merry narwhal]

Wow

[lost coyote]

no it's coming out 2067

[merry narwhal]

I always knew that theory was true

[uncut citrus]

I mean obviously

TK is small

Know who else is small?

[merry narwhal]

The Pale King?

[uncut citrus]

Yes!

[merry narwhal]

Wow! Such flawless logic

[uncut citrus]

It’s just too complex for most ppls to understand

But it does make a lot of sense when you don’t think about it

TK is related to PK

[merry narwhal]

I know. People like Mosbbag just can’t understand such complex themes hidden in Hollow Knight’s lore

[uncut citrus]

Know who else is related to PK?

[merry narwhal]

The Pale King?

[uncut citrus]

Yes!

[merry narwhal]

Oh my Higher Being

This theory is flawless

[uncut citrus]

TK can walk

Know who else can walk?

[merry narwhal]

The Pale King!

[uncut citrus]

||(Wait actually we don’t see PK’s foot but we assume he’s walking and not floating in VH cutscene)||

So Yes!

[merry narwhal]

||(Well I mean he is a Higher Being, so we can assume that he might be able to pull out some levitation shit out of his Wyrm corpse)||

[uncut citrus]

We aren’t even sure he has arms

[merry narwhal]

Wait, I just had an epiphany. Hornet can walk. Guess who else can walk?

[dusty nimbus]

If the Radiance can shoot laser columns I would have to believe the pk can have power orbs since thk uses orbs when you fight im in godhome

[merry narwhal]

Void creatures

[runic valley]

The fountain in ancient basin shows that he has a bunch of tiny arms

[merry narwhal]

Hornet is obviously 100% definitely no doubt about it

Never getting a new game

[uncut citrus]

NVm we know PK has no arbs because of my other flawless logic

[uncut citrus]

[uncut citrus]

Like the spikes at his neck

[dusty nimbus]

I'm no mere mortal

[runic valley]

Still

[sacred stratus]

PK when spikes

Vally of lore discussion emerging from memes

Toss a word to our discussion

[uncut citrus]

No.

[dusty nimbus]

O valley of eternal clowning

[dusty nimbus]

Ha, I successfully tricked you

[uncut citrus]

||inert megamind gif||

[merry narwhal]

mmmm Megamind

[uncut citrus]

Mom come pick me up I’m scared

Help me! || is what I would say if I didn’t have a gun (and the power of Sherma god)||

[merry narwhal]

You fool

You cannot kill me while I wear the visage of Megamind

[uncut citrus]

Yes I am able to kill you in this state.

[merry narwhal]

For even though it is a simple mask created in his likeness, it’s resemblance to his form allows me to channel a fraction of his godly and unending power

[uncut citrus]

Wait a minute

That’s my lore about Sherma god! Your stealing my lore!

[merry narwhal]

I’m gonna be honest, I’ve been on this server for one day and have no idea about any Sherma lore

[uncut citrus]

[small goblet]

i'm so embarrassed by my country's game journalists, they started posting that mobile gog thing

[uncut citrus]

i discovered Smashup
yesterday but i will use the
power of Sherma god to
become good in 10min

But I won’t use it everytimes,
cause like I already use 90%
of my energy worshipping
Sherma god, I can’t use too
much on some « I » god

From the time I used some Sherma god power to win a DST smashup to prove someone wounds win a fist fight with Sherma

[brittle garnet]

Game "journalists"

"journalists" in general, tbh

[uncut citrus]

I just realized

The amount of clickbait nonsense we’ll see from game journalists the day we get actual news

No cost too great for silksong news ig

[merry narwhal]

Silksong fans are just vessels

No cost too great: the cost of waiting

[small goblet]

you mean dumb as fuck?

oh, you meant that

[merry narwhal]

No will to break: Not anymore anyway

[proud vale]

I literally only trust this server and nintendo directs

[small goblet]

e3

[merry narwhal]

No mind to think: Broken brain cells from thinking too much about lore

No voice to cry suffering: From crying their voice hoarse on the internet all day because their favourite developers won’t develop fast enough

[carmine sapphire]

silksong will release tomorrow guys

[merry narwhal]

No.

[carmine sapphire]

[proud vale]

Late christmas sign off

[small goblet]

well there was orthodox christmas like couple of days ago

[dreamy lava]

Any crazy speculation as for now?

[merry narwhal]

Silksong will come out in February

2077

[wise axle]

hard read

october 19th 2022

[merry narwhal]

There is a leaked release date for February this year though

[wise axle]

yeah and they are moving it to oct 19th 2022 because it was leaked

[merry narwhal]

It hasn’t been confirmed but it does have some evidence. I think Fireborn made a video on it

[merry narwhal]

Wait is that true? Or are you lying on the internet

[wise axle]

plus quickly googles the names of one of the devs owes me a favour yeah

trust me my uncle works at nintendo

jokes aside me and my friends have a small bet on when its going to be released and my bet is oct 19th

[merry narwhal]

That’s a very specific date

[wise axle]

its a hard read

[proud vale]

hard read huh? must be a smash player

[wise axle]

anyway the bet is that the person furthest away from its actual release date has to wait a week before playing it, or use keyboard for their first save
i dont play smash much but i do watch alpharad

[proud vale]

some people swear by keyboard

Certainly not me

[upbeat pulsar]

Hollow knight keyboard players are insane

[merry narwhal]

Why?

[proud vale]

keyboards feel a little more precise I would expect

[brittle garnet]

i use keyboard because I like, never used controller for anything

so I'm not used to it in the slightest

[merry narwhal]

Yeah I use a keyboard and I don’t think I’m very insane

[sage glade]

kb is fine on 2d games

[merry narwhal]

Yeah

[brittle garnet]

kb is fine on any game until you can't use mouse as well

[merry narwhal]

Or 3D games like Minecraft that don’t have many movement options

[sage glade]

kb m dark souls

idk how people do it

[brittle garnet]

i played Monster Hunter with kb+m and it was fine

[dusty nimbus]

You mean on the 25th of December?

That was last year

[coarse leaf]

Bis manama bob les

Bis bob les bera bera

[dusty nimbus]

[ocean mulch]

I do keyboard and mouse

[coarse leaf]

Alkaba
Alkaba booptis

[dusty nimbus]

I do only keyboard

[coarse leaf]

How

[merry narwhal]

Same

[coarse leaf]

Everybody I know uses controller even for PC dark souls aside from one person

[cerulean sable]

well add me to the 2nd

[coarse leaf]

[cerulean sable]

its not that hard either, i actually prefer it to some degree because its easy to do a 180 if someones on your ass

[proud vale]

True, but eh

[small goblet]

no, the one on 7th jan

[coarse leaf]

Just get better at turning the camera

[ocean mulch]

I can't do 3d games with a controller

Or any games that requires both sticks

[coarse leaf]

It’s the exact opposite for me, i dont mind 2d games on keyboard but i prefer 3d games to be on controller (WITH the exception of TF2)

[sage glade]

same. shooters with kbm, exploration/single player games on controller

[coarse leaf]

I haven’t played a shooter in so long :sadge:

[ocean mulch]

Controller requires too much finger gymnastics

[coarse leaf]

skill issue + ratio + cope

[little moss]

#hk-announcements Why have you done this, why are you committed suicide.

[cerulean sable]

its a mix for me

i have 300 hours on HK just with KBM

meanwhile other platformers i use controller

[ocean mulch]

I use controller on Ori

[coarse leaf]

I have 500 hours on controller and only like 20 hours on kb+m for HK

[cerulean sable]

it makes sense for it cuz apparently iirc direction control is like 360

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, Ori controller is useful

[sage glade]

ori kbm

[dusty nimbus]

Who tf is having Christmas on January

I just checked

Russians again

[coarse leaf]

Spanish people, on the 5th

[ocean mulch]

Orthodox Christians

On the 6th

[dusty nimbus]

Greeks are also orthodox but it's still on the 25th

[coarse leaf]

we're catholic so 🤷🏽‍♀️

[sweet lotus]

the Orthodox that go by the old calendar celebrate Christmas on the first days of January

but most Greek Orthodox go by the normal calendar

old-calendar Orthodox include iirc Serbians and Russians

[small goblet]

not really only russians, more like slavic countries in general afaik

[coarse leaf]

Any russians in the server

I must know!

[coarse leaf]

him

[small goblet]

me

👀

[dusty obsidian]

Whats the civil war thing?

[small goblet]

wait we having civil war?

[coarse leaf]

I am siding with the Russians

[small goblet]

yaay

[full kestrel]

thank you komrade, well give you some nice kolhoz to run

[keen chasm]

Isn't silk song releasing next month though? It's not the end of the world

[crisp drift]

mmmmm well a spider probably will release a silk next month and a song is guaranteed to be released next month

[coarse leaf]

I hope

[small goblet]

1st and 14th feb are still possible

[hollow smelt]

add me as 3rd

i dont have a controller

[ruby oriole]

I'm so excited for silksong that i am actually a bit afraid lol

[stoic path]

I hope it doesn't release on Feb cus I can't play it on Feb. I have exams

[ruby oriole]

like everyone keeps talking about how they can't wait for the game to release

but like, what if silksong's a flop?

what if the story is not good, or the combat/platforming mechanics aren't good

[dark plume]

i trust in tc

[stoic path]

SS is the only thing that can fill the void in my heart

[ruby oriole]

i can't say the same, i'm sorry

as much as i like team cherry, they have made a total of: 1 successful game

[dark plume]

one thing i worry slightly about is just the combat system becoming slightly over complex

[ruby oriole]

or the combat relying too much on items

[dark plume]

but i put full faith in tc to deliver with ss

[dark plume]

or the half glass full view, they have a 100% positive track record

[stoic path]

That's true. They made one game and it became a success, with the help of a gamejam idea.

[keen chasm]

English or french? I saw something saying the first release is in french.

[small goblet]

it was just memes, it's coming in these languages

[silver oak]

Heh, get it? Void? Like Hollow Knight?

[stoic path]

Real? Or just the typical GOG updating the year?

[ruby oriole]

typical gog

also, is anyone else scared that

we know basically almost nothing about silksong?

[turbid kite]

you know that hornet is in it

[ruby oriole]

we know less than 20 enemies in the game

we have seen a total of like, 5 areas

[turbid kite]

you also know about various npcs, that weird horse thing, and have seen some of the locations

[silver oak]

the more we know now the less we have to find out ourselves

[ruby oriole]

debatable

[silver oak]

which is bad

[ruby oriole]

it could be her twin sister

[turbid kite]

honestly i get that the lack of news sucks, but i wouldn't want the news to contain more info about what's in ss, just how ss is coming along

[ruby oriole]

horNET

while that is true

[turbid kite]

silksong actually features hornet's twin sister, norhet

[ruby oriole]

you have a point, but it still feels a bit weird

[fiery coral]

There's a fair bit we know, we had the announcement trailer, the Treehouse gameplay, the demo, the Edge magazine

[turbid kite]

one of the biggest points of HK is that it's best played blind, so honestly I'd rather not know anything about SS. but obviously its unavoidable on the HK server

[ruby oriole]

well yes
