[odd terrace]

I’ve been away for so long from this server. Do we have reliable news/leaks/release-day-theory or something

[burnt swallow]

No

[cerulean tree]

yes

[odd terrace]

Ewwww

They are still silent about the game

[fossil cedar]

yeah we still havent gotten anything since 2019

[burnt swallow]

Sad

[odd terrace]

Darn it

[burnt swallow]

We are all waiting for silksong

[odd terrace]

I was hoping a Valentines Day release or something

[fossil cedar]

but rumor has it itll be released/release date revealed february

[cerulean tree]

thats just fan speculation

[burnt swallow]

It will not become cyberpunk 2077

[odd terrace]

This rumor about feb is circulating since forever. Every year!

[cerulean tree]

thats hollow knight fans for you

[fossil cedar]

i have hope for this year

keep hoping

[burnt swallow]

If you have nothing to do just play dead cells or terraria

[fossil cedar]

i dont have much to do in terraria

ive got 500 hours

[burnt swallow]

Oof

[thorn grotto]

I always wish it gets revealed the next day

Like imagine if TC announced tomorrow "Silksong is releasing on February 1st 2022!"

[burnt swallow]

I got like 300 hours

[fossil cedar]

every night i go to sleep like "maybe tomorrow", and when i wake up i check the server for any announcements

[cerulean tree]

like toby fox

[alpine zephyr]

Ello people

[fossil cedar]

i always got hope

[thorn grotto]

I'll be pinged if there is one

[burnt swallow]

Y’all should play some dead cells

[fossil cedar]

whats dead cells

[thorn grotto]

But if we truly got an announcement for February 1st that'd be sick

[coarse leaf]

not the 1st tho

[thorn grotto]

Why

[burnt swallow]

It’s a indie metriodvania game like hollow knight, but pixels. It still great though

[fossil cedar]

id pay team cherry every penny i can get for a copy of silksong tbh

[coarse leaf]

no game comes out the 1st of any month

[thorn grotto]

BotW came out on the 3rd which isn't that far off

[cerulean tree]

from my knowledge dead cells is not a metroidvania?

[burnt swallow]

I guess

[fossil cedar]

deadcells looks cool i might pick it up if i get some money

[thorn grotto]

how credible have NVDIA leaks been in the past

Are they always correct, sometimes correct, or usually wrong

[hardy marsh]

ye, it isnt

[tall hinge]

dead cells is a rougelite

[sage glade]

the cloak looks like it's made of plastic

[thorn grotto]

Cuz I'd like to know if I can at least hope for it to be true

[fossil cedar]

imma be real sad if it dont come out in february

[cerulean tree]

for what to be true?

[fossil cedar]

if the nvidia leaks have been credible in the past

[thorn grotto]

yeah

cuz then I can hope it could be true

[cerulean tree]

if its anything to do with silksong dates i would take it with a grain of salt

[fossil cedar]

from the little ive heard they seem to be roughly accurate, but take that with a grain of salt

[cerulean tree]

yeah its better to not expect anything than to be dissapointed by unofficial information

[thorn grotto]

Maybe they'll shadowdrop it

[cerulean tree]

dont count on it

[fossil cedar]

ive been thinking that its not too unlikely for it to be shadowdropped

[small goblet]

i don't think so, what's the point?

[thorn grotto]

If there was an announcement, it'd either be a trailer or an announcement on discord

[thorn grotto]

idk surprising people?

[fossil cedar]

well honestly why spend the money advertising when its gonna spread over the internet like wildfire

[small goblet]

if they didn't shadowdrop original hk, they most likely won't do that to ss

[cerulean tree]

we'll get silksong when we get silksong, so keep your expectations low

[thorn grotto]

I'm expecting probably a trailer or just a social media wide announcement

[split tide]

whatever decision they do will depend on what they think will draw the most profits

[small goblet]

tc 99% will release a release trailer

[split tide]

trailer would probably generate more hype

[thorn grotto]

which is...?

[split tide]

I dunno, I'm not TC's marketing director

I'm not qualified to give a good answer on that

[cerulean tree]

the knight in the unknown nintendo race game would draw big attention

[shell cedar]

soon

[fossil cedar]

i could see them dropping it without setting a release date, like one day just going "hey guys the games out have fun", probably not though

[uncut citrus]

There’s like 0 chances for a shadow drop

[alpine zephyr]

How is peeps

[shell cedar]

i see a two week period between announcement and release being realistic

[cerulean tree]

peeps is good

[solemn warren]

i wanna eat some bread

[violet fern]

tc is going to announce the release date not too far away from the release

like a week away

[fossil cedar]

😏

[solemn warren]

february 1 2022

[ruby oriole]

no

[cerulean tree]

i'd say a month is the absolute max for tc

[fossil cedar]

wasnt hollow knights release date revealed 2 weeks before release

[thorn grotto]

||which would mean a February release would get an announcement announced in like 3 days or smth||

[ruby oriole]

its not coming out in Feb, we might get a blog post at best.

[solemn warren]

😂

[thorn grotto]

I wish

[fossil cedar]

theres always a chance, have hope

[ruby oriole]

dude

[violet fern]

we can dream,we can hope,then we get infected by moth

[cerulean tree]

i'd bet we get 0 information in Febuary

[solemn warren]

check out ge-force game releases, it has been leaked

[ruby oriole]

no, its not happening, sorry.

[uncut citrus]

Why di... wha- no I... I’m just gonna leave...

[sinful flare]

Im confused too

[ruby oriole]

oh please, ofc that was just speculation

[violet fern]

the divine yeast

[cerulean tree]

placeholder date probably or some shit but its definitely not coming out in febuary

[violet fern]

but we can hope

[daring hemlock]

silk song out yet?

[ruby oriole]

go ahead, be disappointed

[fossil cedar]

yall buggin its 100% comin february i have hope that its gonna happen

[cerulean tree]

yup

[fossil cedar]

let a man dream

[uncut citrus]

I am not confused I know what is going on I just question all of my life choices that led me to that very moment where I tap ss discussion

[daring hemlock]

damn ok

[split tide]

it's not like this channel doesn't have a history of pinning hopes on baseless speculation

[frigid sluice]

hey how are yall doing? whats happening?

[violet fern]

idc alot,it's better that tc has more time

[cerulean tree]

this is gonna be your 13th reason

[solemn warren]

hm. rusty did a video explaining the "speculation" and sadly if your a fan of waiting for games and seeing people despair while waiting, your time has kinda come now

[cerulean tree]

hehe love seeing people in despair

[solemn warren]

jk. (or not?)

[ruby oriole]

ok, but i'm gonna laugh so hard at your face if it doesn't come out in feb

[fossil cedar]

as much as i agree, i am despserate

[daring hemlock]

Silk song is already my thirteenth reason

[violet fern]

why hello there junko enoshima

[uncut citrus]

We don’t know when it will come.

[frigid sluice]

silksong is rumoured to be coming out in february?

[fossil cedar]

danganronpa reference??

[solemn warren]

and then im just gonna chill and play sonic generations

[thorn grotto]

I fully expect it to not come in February

[frigid sluice]

wait im confused whats going on

[cerulean tree]

just dumb speculation

[fossil cedar]

basically, though the evidence isnt super supportive

[frigid sluice]

ooooooooooooooooooh

[split tide]

speculation based on one leak

[frigid sluice]

there was a leak???

[cerulean tree]

and from tga we have learned we cant trust leaks

[daring hemlock]

and that leak changed

[violet fern]

speculation can lead to being right,or seeing thousands spam clownkin

[split tide]

and the leak for the date ended up being changed to june 2021, so the leak is baseless

i.e. it's poor evidence for a feb release

[fossil cedar]

its a coverup, its a conspiracy

[thorn grotto]

It's not coming

[violet fern]

it's literally not a leak

[thorn grotto]

No sane human thinks it'll come in Feb

[frigid sluice]

what is happening????? was there a leak, was there not a leak???

[cerulean tree]

dawg i dont even know tf going on i just know that shit is not coming next month

[violet fern]

you think the hk community is sane or human at this point

[thorn grotto]

some random NVDIA thing

[daring hemlock]

No sane human is a fan of a game that doesn’t exist yet but here we all are

[frigid sluice]

im confused

[violet fern]

i just want to be there when people are spamming

[fossil cedar]

there was a nvidia leak that basically had silksons release date set as february 2022, but it was later changed to june 2021

[cerulean tree]

yes me too and seeing all the dissapointed people who hyped themselves up

[thorn grotto]

I just want to have TC say
"Hey! We're still working on SS and we appreciate your patience and hype!"

[violet fern]

i won't be surprised if it isn't true but atleast i can see some people say "told you"

[cerulean tree]

wait so we already got silksong in 2021 june, why are we discussing this when its obviously already out

[thorn grotto]

gonna ignore that

[fossil cedar]

idk bro i already 100% the game + dlc

[empty trench]

It just changed when it got leaked

[uncut citrus]

The hell your talking about TgA had no leak

[violet fern]

bro i beated anyrad in ss

[empty trench]

Check fireborn's video

[thorn grotto]

people got pissed for some reason

[fossil cedar]

W

[cerulean tree]

same, mostly enjoyed but the bit where zote came back without clothes was weird

[thorn grotto]

SS is not coming in February

[fossil cedar]

yeah honestly, i think the reveal of cornifer being hornets grandfather was cool though, it was done really well

[thorn grotto]

I guarantee it

I'd love for it to come then but it won't happen

[frigid sluice]

as long as we GET silksong at some point, then i'll be happy

[fossil cedar]

dont pull a mans dream through the mud, let me believe it will come in february, allow for hope to thrive

[cerulean tree]

yeah that was done really well, but the kiss made it kinda weird eventhough its but tradition

[violet fern]

we would be happy with a trailer

[frigid sluice]

idc if its coming out next month or next year as long as its coming out

[thorn grotto]

How bout you put that hope for a trailer and release date

[coarse leaf]

i would not because of fanbase going crazy

[cerulean tree]

we just dont want you to be dissapointed

[thorn grotto]

they'd be better off with an announcement

[fossil cedar]

i will not compromise my hope

[coarse leaf]

• trailers are bad and spoilery the one we got before was fine

[thorn grotto]

your loss

we've got enough info
a release date announcement is all we need

[cerulean tree]

to be fair the game is gonna be gigantic so only a tiny portion will be spoiled

if we get a new trailer

[thorn grotto]

It'll probably be a bit bigger than HK

[coarse leaf]

Tiny portion can be major
E.g. nailsm

[thorn grotto]

Maybe around 200 enemies and 27 regions

[coarse leaf]

TC's marketing strategy since EDGE hs been non existent so

[fossil cedar]

hollow knght had like 50 benches, i think silksong has 150+ at this point if i remember correctly

[thorn grotto]

I-

[violet fern]

they are spending time making the game itself

[fossil cedar]

could just be closer together though

[cerulean tree]

they said over 100 yeah

[hexed crow]

My current goal is to finish p5 b4 silksong comes out

I am being optimistic but I really feel like at the very least we'll get a release window this year

[thorn grotto]

Maybe they just have bigger regions

[coarse leaf]

i know but news is needed at this point

[violet fern]

it's going to be 60 dollars with 50 gigs

[fossil cedar]

id pay 60 for silksong tbh

[violet fern]

we don't owe them tbh

[thorn grotto]

I'd expect at least 16 regions

[cerulean tree]

tc can take their time, its not like we're going anywhere

[coarse leaf]

we're going to forgetting SS

[thorn grotto]

Just stay patient and it will come eventually

[cerulean tree]

not me im just built different

[coarse leaf]

ok bro

[coarse leaf]

Honestly i don't believe that anymore

[fossil cedar]

its gonna be 2024 and everyone will have had forgotten silksong before it releases

[thorn grotto]

2022-2023 are likely candidates so please just... be patient

[coarse leaf]

It's been years and they couldn't forget

Even centuries won't let the community forget

[thorn grotto]

Every year so far has harboured some news

[coarse leaf]

not 2021

[thorn grotto]

Edge Magazine

[cerulean tree]

edge

[coarse leaf]

that was december 31 for me

[cerulean tree]

not official but stil news

[thorn grotto]

eh it counts

[coarse leaf]

and like EDGE was big yes but not that big to last all 2021

[fossil cedar]

i just wish they could like, say something at all

literally anything would be nice

[thorn grotto]

June release is likely

[violet fern]

tc cancelling ss is just the key for fans creating it theirselves

[thorn grotto]

I think we should stop being desperate and just have some faith

[coarse leaf]

maybe there has been no news on December because they're preparing a blogpost for Valentines Day

[coarse leaf]

i do not want that
i DO NOT want any rad boss in an actually serious game

[violet fern]

no thank you

[cerulean tree]

hopefully but dont hype yourself up

[violet fern]

well guess what they already modded it in

[fossil cedar]

it releases on valentines day because of how much well love silksong

[coarse leaf]

No

[violet fern]

"yeah i saw some random dude got gifted silksong and now the two are getting maried"

[fossil cedar]

good for them

[cerulean tree]

id marry someone too for that reason

[daring hemlock]

I say ss will be mentioned in the nintendo direct in february but the info we already know will not change

[thorn grotto]

Just hope the physical copy comes out soon

I want to get it immediately

[cerulean tree]

smh silksong was great but im really waiting till the light-lance dlc gets released

[sinful flare]

true

[cerulean tree]

cuz i already 100% silksong a year ago

[fossil cedar]

nah im more excited for the next entry in the hollow knight franchise

[violet fern]

zoteboat

[fossil cedar]

TisoTassle

[cerulean tree]

sherma-shooter

[daring hemlock]

That’s also the anniversary…

[violet fern]

sly-wars

[cerulean tree]

nice

[lost coyote]

they wouldn't mention if if they didn't have a release date, nintendo haven't mentioned silksong since e3 2019 so it's unlikely they will again until we get a release date and they can start marketing it

[daring hemlock]

Also if the Nintendo direct happens on valentine’s I don’t care what anyone says it’s happening

[thorn grotto]

I want to have a game dedicate to Myla, Sly, and Tiso

[fossil cedar]

bro imagine were watching the nintendo direct and they say "Silksong, out now"

[coarse leaf]

Imagine they pull a toby fox and say that on twitter instead

[brittle garnet]

to be fair saying stuff like "X month is likely" is complete bullshit, it's impossible to know that and people who say that only go off of gut feeling. Like yeah, the year gap makes me hope there's gonna be something soon, but it could very well mean the opposite.

[cerulean tree]

what if the a third hollow knight game is about a character we haven't even met yet. who will be important in silksong

[daring hemlock]

fair point and there isn’t a confirmed direct next month but it’s usually when it happens

[thorn grotto]

The only exception is if they say something like "Summer 2022"

[fossil cedar]

itll be lace

[lost coyote]

nothing means anything for team cherry they do whatever they want when they want

[brittle garnet]

no

[violet fern]

imagine they play one clip of "SHAW" and then "april 2022"

[sinful flare]

Autumn 2024

[coarse leaf]

Third hk game is gonna be the great story of Zote, narrated as a ballad by our great bard Elderbug

[fossil cedar]

april 1st

[violet fern]

they drop silksong for free but it's just hollow knight demo

[coarse leaf]

Actually a better bard would be zote himself

[lost coyote]

nintendo have done a direct on april 1st before 👍

[cerulean tree]

"Hollow knight: The Great Gary"

[violet fern]

it's a dating sim

[lost coyote]

hollow knight 2: 2 hollow 2 knight

[coarse leaf]

Holy shit gary from pokemon

[thorn grotto]

Wait what if the Hunter and the Huntress are dating

[fossil cedar]

nah theyre gonna release silksong for free on april fools and its gonna be hungry knight 2

[cerulean tree]

and its not even hollow knight themed

[brittle garnet]

HK dating sim would have you play as Bretta

[cerulean tree]

lets be real bretta's a bitch

[violet fern]

hollow knight:bretta breed

[fossil cedar]

i hate bretta

[lost coyote]

bretta is the worst character absolutely terrible person

[daring hemlock]

I’m just saying 5 years of development with possibly a couple breaks since covid and holidays and the fact that they are just play testing and adding stuff on and next month being I milestone anniversary (also games take around 3-4 years to develop unless they are fairly complicated which we don’t know)

[fossil cedar]

can we get an idle game about myla starting a mining tycoon

[lost coyote]

I think silksong comes out this year

[cerulean tree]

Myla Mining Simulator

[vagrant umbra]

I think Bretta is fine. We are literally a thoughtless vessel, she politely waited for us to make a move. Same with Zote. Wait she abandoned Zote… nevermind, worst character.

[lost coyote]

she simped for zote

[fossil cedar]

you dont??

[cerulean tree]

her only redeaming quality

[coarse leaf]

She abandons after we defeat him in dreams

[violet fern]

tiso died to colo

[daring hemlock]

she also simps for you

[violet fern]

maid zote exists

[thorn grotto]

The Knight isn't thoughtless

It can draw a map, change its mind about buying a map, open a bank account, etc.

[flat cliff]

when is the 5years?

[coarse leaf]

They aren't thoughtless but they seem affectionless to me if thats a word

[thorn grotto]

It's impure

[lost coyote]

😳

[cerulean tree]

holy fuck the knight is a twitter user. "No mind to think"

[sinful flare]

the knight flails around in acid so they aren't thoughtless

[daring hemlock]

YES YES THEY ARE THE WHITE LADY SAYS IT HERSELF THAT HE IS JUST THE RUGHT VESSEL SHE IS WAITING FOR

[violet fern]

it's an instinct

[coarse leaf]

they have a will to break your sanity, tho

[thorn grotto]

she also thinks ogrim is in the room because you wear the crest

[fossil cedar]

i think the knight is thoughtless

[thorn grotto]

she's not very reliable

[fossil cedar]

i dont think they think i think they just do stuff

[brittle garnet]

it's actually been less than 4 years

[cerulean tree]

so twitter users are corrupted vessels

[small goblet]

14th feb

[daring hemlock]

I KNEW PEOPLE WERE LYING ANOUT THAT

[coarse leaf]

ok explain how did they defeat a GOD without thinking

[lost coyote]

the knight is a gay icon

[vagrant umbra]

You make a good point, I usually assume the Knight was truly hollow, but I forgot that’s not the point of the game, it’s too defeat the radiance with the dream nail, not contain it.

[fossil cedar]

funsies

[coarse leaf]

no

[cerulean tree]

i do that too

[fossil cedar]

funsies > your argument

[thorn grotto]

The Knight is impure, so it can have thoughts and shit.
The Hollow Knight was the purest of all the vessels yet it still had thoughts
No vessel could've been truly pure in my opinion

[daring hemlock]

The facts that they are able to manifest into the void being into them self in god home is proof enough

[lost coyote]

the knight is an iconic yas queen 💅💅

[uncut citrus]

what makes you think THK was the purest?

[fossil cedar]

theres isnt really a point where the knight is shown thinking really

[thorn grotto]

He was the only other one to make it to the top

[fossil cedar]

i think its up to your own interpretation of the game

[uncut citrus]

yet?

[lost coyote]

what channel will #sk-discussion morph into today? in today's episode, #hk-lore

[uncut citrus]

theres vessel that went as far as Greenpath

dude THK and TK was just fast at jumping

[daring hemlock]

Thus becoming a god himself

[uncut citrus]

how does that make them the purest

[vagrant umbra]

Being hollow isn’t what makes them absorb and control the void. We are in fact giving the void our will. The completed void statue mentions this.

[cerulean tree]

those are just the ones we know about, its not impossible to see vessels in pharloom

[thorn grotto]

The reason getting to the top proved purity was because a pure vessel wouldn't have empathy, and wouldn't help or even pay attention to the mass of siblings falling behind them

[coarse leaf]

silked song

[uncut citrus]

No.

[cerulean tree]

the real rat out here speaking facts

[fossil cedar]

i interpreted the knights actions as just a thoughtless being wandering around and doing stuff, you can have a goal without feeling or thought, and that just so happened to be "stop the infection"

[daring hemlock]

Exactly the void takes your will

[shell cedar]

absolutely not

[fossil cedar]

🤨

[thorn grotto]

also there probably some hidden passageway between The Abyss and Deepnest since Void influences the area for Sharp Shadow

[vagrant umbra]

Nah, I just think the Pale King was drinking too much life blood (hence, banning it that same day)

[thorn grotto]

Hollow Knight would like to have a word with you

[uncut citrus]

that is not true what that not how it works you cant just make lore up

[thorn grotto]

You have a better reason?

[cerulean tree]

what if the player itself is canonically another god in the HK universe who is able to control void, thus being able to control the knight

[fossil cedar]

they climbed up for funsies 👍

[uncut citrus]

what if we go in #hk-lore first

[thorn grotto]

Okay

[cerulean tree]

bye peoples

[uncut citrus]

jumping is fun

[fossil cedar]

exactly thats what im sayin

[cerulean tree]

so true so true

[thorn grotto]

to #hk-lore?

[buoyant osprey]

Wtf lol

[cerulean tree]

smh my head guys i was just about to talk shit cuz you left🙄 💅

[uncut citrus]

the white lady also asks if we came there because of thought, she says contradicting stuff, why dont you also come in #hk-lore so i can let ppls explain for me

[fossil cedar]

she said it for funsies 👍

[vagrant umbra]

I think one argument that could be made against not being hollow, is the fact that the space can be filled. It seemed that the Hollow Knight was truly hollow until the King instilled an idea of himself into it. It’s possible that after leaving Hallownest, the knight is somehow instilled with the player’s will, which is how and why we control it.

[violet fern]

she's blind

[fossil cedar]

she stopped seeing for funsies she was just in a silly mood

[uncut citrus]

playing isnt canon in there, this isnt undertale dude

[buoyant osprey]

The void heart literally says "unifies void under bearers will" which means the knight has a will. Bye~

[vagrant umbra]

Is the temple with backer quotes not canon then?

[cerulean tree]

silly white lady with her quircky blindness

[thorn grotto]

THANK YOU

[fossil cedar]

you dont need thought or feeling to have a will

[brittle garnet]

well, technically you could say it's been in development for almost 5 years since Feb 2017, however that wasn't full time development since they were making HK content updates at that time as well, so full time development only began after Godmaster released, in August 2018, which would make it like 3 years and 4-5 months

[violet fern]

they are gods

[thorn grotto]

The Knight had a will
It wasn't meant to
Impure vessel

[uncut citrus]

the void seems to act itself in EtV, but i guess thats true for DnM

[quartz yew]

[cerulean tree]

L nerd vessel lmao impure bitch L

[fossil cedar]

it could be argued the knight was impure because of the relation it formed with the king, thats how i saw it anyways

[cerulean tree]

waddup ghost

[quartz yew]

Hey Gies.

[opaque sigil]

It's funky but it definitely doesn't mean player is canon

[uncut citrus]

you mean THK?

[fossil cedar]

yes

[thorn grotto]

What relation?
The Knight was thrown in to the Abyss by him. TWICE.
That's not a good relationship.

[fossil cedar]

i meant the hollow knight my bad

[violet fern]

tbh he isn't special

[cerulean tree]

but that is kinda funny though

imagine climbing a mountain and just getting booted back down

[thorn grotto]

I view as more pure psychopathy but you do you

[violet fern]

well it's not that bad when you don't take fall damage

[vagrant umbra]

I know it’s theory territory, but I would argue that the “higher being” word tablets are also meant for you the player.

[opaque sigil]

How

[hidden roost]

how are we coping today ss discussion

[quartz yew]

Wait it was thrown twice? How'd they get up there a second time or was the second time the cutscene we saw?

[cerulean tree]

nah the second time was me

[vagrant umbra]

They know what controller you are using and provide meta instructions.

[thorn grotto]

The Knight was thrown in once for the whole Void possession thing
Another time when the Pale King shut the door to the Abyss as it was getting on the ledge

[quartz yew]

Imagine being born in a dark place and some dude with a fork head tells you to climb a mountain.

[fossil cedar]

the hollow knight shared a moment with the king as shown at the end of path of pain, that implies to me that it became impure because it developed an emotional connection rather than just being hollow

[opaque sigil]

Tutorial prompts aren't generally considered to be canonically present

[quartz yew]

Ah I see.

[cerulean tree]

literally my life story the knight just like me

[uncut citrus]

why is #sk-discussion transorming into #hk-lore i told you come to #hk-lore so i can let the others explain for me

[fossil cedar]

W

[vagrant umbra]

Sure, but I’m saying I would.

[quartz yew]

We ran out of things to discuss. So we defaulted back to Hollow knight.

[cerulean tree]

because we are all stuborn

[fossil cedar]

i just wanna talk about silksong 😭

[opaque sigil]

That's one possibility

[thorn grotto]

No vessel can be pure in my opinion

[fossil cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-hollow-knight-hornet-needle-hornet-playing-her-needle-gif-24057267

[vagrant umbra]

What if Silksong news drops while we discuss!?!😤

[fierce thorn]

hollow knight sucks

[cerulean tree]

okay so silksong, it probably exists, no?

[thorn grotto]

They all have flaws

[fierce thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-astley-never-gonna-give-you-up-cry-for-help-pwl-stock-aitken-waterman-gif-17671973

[fossil cedar]

take that talk to #hk-lore 🙄

[cerulean tree]

true

[quartz yew]

I thought that was the whole point of hollow knight lmao.

[fierce thorn]

i was making a joke about the sucks part but look

[opaque sigil]

It is a tad underwhelming as a final boss but it makes some sense since you have to fight it to reach Rad

[quartz yew]

Ss discussion when february is getting closer.

[thorn grotto]

THK wasn't pure
Neither was TK

[fierce thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/rick-astley-never-gonna-give-you-up-cry-for-help-pwl-stock-aitken-waterman-gif-17671973

[rotund raven]

can you believe it guys?

[fossil cedar]

theres little proof for the knight being pure or impure really

[cerulean tree]

im a going to step on you

[rotund raven]

silksong coming out next month in February!

[quartz yew]

No I meant your opinion of no vessel can be pure.

[fossil cedar]

yes im so excited!!

[rotund raven]

Finally

[cerulean tree]

silksong! next febuary

[thorn grotto]

oh yeah it is

[fierce thorn]

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN

[quartz yew]

Wow! Can you believe it! Silksong! In just a week.

[thorn grotto]

okay delusional buddy

[fossil cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/silksong-hollow-knight-hornet-needle-hornet-playing-her-needle-gif-24057267

[rotund raven]

I am so happy about this information

[fierce thorn]

FCK

[cerulean tree]

im am going to compress you into a tiny cube and feed it to the pelicans

[fierce thorn]

when will it be out

[fossil cedar]

#sk-discussion is the best channel 💪

[vagrant umbra]

Soon

[cerulean tree]

silksong! just a week away!

[fierce thorn]

YES YES YES YES

IF NOT IMA KILL YA \

[quartz yew]

Ok so I think the only hope I have for February is an update. Release date is on 50% and full release is just 2%

[cerulean tree]

silksong! can you believe it!

[quartz yew]

Bold words for someone who isn't fireproof/j

[vagrant umbra]

It is definitely not gonna be the 1st, Valentines Day might have news, but that’s it.

[cerulean tree]

bold words for someone without a bulletproof vest

[true vine]

nice made up numbers

[rotund raven]

just the thought of seeing a Daily Silksong News with a thumbnail saying "News: Yes" is crazy

[fossil cedar]

its gonna be wild

[violet fern]

bold words for someone who hasn't ascended with gorb

[quartz yew]

Yeah. I'm still hoping for late 2022 or early 2023 release.

[fossil cedar]

im hoping for early 2022 release

[cerulean tree]

bold words for someone who doesn't know im living in their walls

[quartz yew]

It is what it is

[vagrant umbra]

After a year of videos, I tried comparing the first one with the 365th… it’s kind of depressing.

[fossil cedar]

im hoping it comes out today actually

[fierce thorn]

who here is a true hollow knight fan

[rotund raven]

doubt it will be 2022 let alone early 2022, my bet is on 2023

[violet fern]

bold words for someone who hasn't seen me lick the walls

[cerulean tree]

not me that games sucks i hate team cherry

[fossil cedar]

i doubt itll be 2023 frankly

[quartz yew]

You with the early 2023 gang?

[rotund raven]

yeah I forgot it just hit 365

[thorn grotto]

Y'all are delusional

[fierce thorn]

your a fat a ss

[cerulean tree]

bold word for someone who thinks i dont enjoy the sound

[fossil cedar]

only for funsies 💪

[rotund raven]

seems most reasonable

[cerulean tree]

are you 7 years old?

[fierce thorn]

no

[violet fern]

bold words for someone who thinks i lick with sounds

[quartz yew]

I just remember elden eing releases on February and that's probably the reason it might not release in February.

[coarse leaf]

the ones who think 2023 its just the delusion kicking in dont worry it will all calm down when SS releases next month

[fossil cedar]

yup see someone gets it

[cerulean tree]

are you not allowed to say the word "ass" so you say it as "a ss"

[vagrant umbra]

Pretty sure they are just adding content and can go towards a month of polishing and release when ever they want. If what Graig and Griffin say the past months are true. 2022 is very reasonable.

[quartz yew]

Yeah. Because since they're just adding stuff now, I doubt it'll take another 2 years to add more stuff.

[cerulean tree]

bold words for someone who thinks i dont own a noice amplifier

[coarse leaf]

yup

[fossil cedar]

you are buggin if you think its not gonna be this year

[violet fern]

bold words for someone who thought i have walls in my house in the first place

[fossil cedar]

latest is probably mid-late 2022

[vagrant umbra]

That is like the only bug with good posture I have seen, and it scares me.

[coarse leaf]

same

[thorn grotto]

The fact that people genuinely believe it'll release in Feb baffles me

[fossil cedar]

nah you mad we still have hope

[cerulean tree]

bold words for someone who knows you have walls because i live in them, and even if you didn't i would live in your floor

[quartz yew]

And it's a kratos looking one at that.

[coarse leaf]

they're jealous

[violet fern]

i fart on my floors

[rotund raven]

It's ok folks just remember the amount of hype and craziness there will be upon the next piece of news...

[fossil cedar]

fr

[cerulean tree]

why do you think i havent stopped you

[quartz yew]

The admins will silence this chat for days.

[fossil cedar]

i like the way pauxgor thinks he really gets me

[rotund raven]

imagine twitter

[thorn grotto]

Hope is a worthless item

[quartz yew]

Armageddon for discord

[vagrant umbra]

I feel like the only news left is a blogpost saying, we are satisfied with adding stuff, expect a release date in the next month.

[cerulean tree]

the "wishfull thinking mindset"

[coarse leaf]

i joined the fandom in September so im pretty new and hopeful but also realistic

[quartz yew]

I don't go on there so I won't see it.

[cerulean tree]

keep it that way

[rotund raven]

good, stay out of there

[fossil cedar]

i started playing hollow knight in september and ive been obsessed since, i joined the community yesterday

[coarse leaf]

that would make me so happy

[quartz yew]

Made an account and immediately left shit was wild.

[vagrant umbra]

But first they need to be satisfied with adding stuff. I have no clue how long that might take.

[quartz yew]

Yeah. I think mid 2022 sounds good or march if we're lucky enough.

[cerulean tree]

knowing team cherry probably another year

[fossil cedar]

february release gang on top 💪

[coral marsh]

What is this silksong I keep hearing about 🤪

[cerulean tree]

"delusional gang on top"

[cerulean tree]

a famous french rapper

[fossil cedar]

nah bro never hurts to have hope

[quartz yew]

Just had to chance my name real quick.

[uncut citrus]

ppls who thinks its feb 1 are dumb, if you jsut think its in feb thats fin

[thorn grotto]

Yeah

[vagrant umbra]

The scope creep they have going on is indefinite right now, we have no idea how long it might take unless they say it themselves that they are finished adding content.

[cerulean tree]

i just dont wanna be dissapointed again

[coral marsh]

I’ve been on a hollow knight addiction since last year. Finishing it at 112% plus the godmaster statues on all radiant. I need silksong to come soon

[cerulean tree]

ey thats respectfull

[thorn grotto]

Then don't be

[hollow terrace]

Counter argument, uh it will be

[thorn grotto]

Don't have hope for Feb 1st so when it inevitably shows up with nothing you won't be disappointed

[hollow terrace]

But in 2024

[cerulean tree]

whats silksong?

[fossil cedar]

im currently hyperfixated on hollow knight and ive done everything i need to, i need to be hopeful for silksong to come february

[coarse leaf]

you cant stay thinking like that forever move on

[quartz yew]

At this point dissapointment is a common emotion in this fandom.

[coral marsh]

Haha

[vagrant umbra]

Le playstation and Xbox players.

[quartz yew]

[cerulean tree]

[quartz yew]

[fossil cedar]

[hollow terrace]

Alright

lets hear it for silksong 2024

[cerulean tree]

despair

[vagrant umbra]

I’ll graduate college that year.

[quartz yew]

NO

[fossil cedar]

if silksong comes out in 2024 imma have collected all 13 reasons

[thorn grotto]

I can because one day I will be wrong

[quartz yew]

[hollow terrace]

Silksong is closer to the next decade than the decade that hollow knight was released

[agile herald]

Silksong canceled

[inner locust]

cant wait for silk song to come out in 2064

[cerulean tree]

real and true

[agile herald]

Play Crowsworn

[fossil cedar]

😦

[quartz yew]

The worst ending

[coarse leaf]

no

[quartz yew]

Aye fellow crowsworn waiter.

[vagrant umbra]

Watch them delay it an extra 5 years so it’s 2069

[cerulean tree]

well damn everyone pack your stuff silksong is cancelled

[fossil cedar]

they canceled silksong because they decided sealed siblings was the canonical ending

[inner locust]

they would do that tbh

[pliant jackal]

Fearless Fox will release first, then SS 5 years after that.

[cerulean tree]

this is leth on his alt promoting crowsworn

[quartz yew]

I mean it does look good

[agile herald]

No I just shill Elden Ring, a game that exists and has a release date

[cerulean tree]

very true, and this "silksong canceld"person makes a very convincing point

[fossil cedar]

what even is elden ring everyone keeps talking about it

[quartz yew]

Indeed

[cerulean tree]

just a ring for old people

[vagrant umbra]

So many of the passion filled indie games are inspired by the quality AAA games of the past. Games like Crowsworn will include a generation of developers inspired by quality indie games too. I’m excited.

[hollow terrace]

Sounds cool and all but I think we should start posting leak spoilers for elden ring here though

[agile herald]

https://tenor.com/view/elden-ring-gif-24103226

[cerulean tree]

new apple product to help them do their daily tasks

[fossil cedar]

[quartz yew]

I think a dark soul spin off that a ton of people have been waiting for.

[agile herald]

TRUE

[vagrant umbra]

Why does everyone want to beat up Sherma? Was there a memo?

[cerulean tree]

[uncut citrus]

[random fox]

No we just like beating up babies i think

[cerulean tree]

[quartz yew]

Right???? Sherma is so cute. I dunno why everyone wants to viciously kill him.

[quartz yew]

The radiance got to ya'll

Do you think Silksong's hardest boss will be harder than AbsRad or easier

[shell yacht]

harder

[tardy kayak]

harder

[carmine sapphire]

isnt it greymoor

[fossil cedar]

harder

[quartz yew]

Shit you right

[stark estuary]

Easier

[drowsy isle]

I hope y'all are right

[quartz yew]

Wtf are ya'll on rn.

[cerulean tree]

[fossil cedar]

[shell yacht]

its like 5th place on my bosses

[drowsy isle]

then who is

[cerulean tree]

marmu

[carmine sapphire]

br

[quartz yew]

[tardy kayak]

Moss charger hardest boss

[stark estuary]

Skill issue intensifies

[high hedge]

Marmu struggle

[fossil cedar]

nah lets talk about how much of a pushover that moss boss in the trailer is

[carmine sapphire]

easier, and a version of that boss which will be harder than absrad

[fossil cedar]

looks mad easy

[quartz yew]

No. Zote. Not grey prince zote. Just zote

[cerulean tree]

first marmu and second vengefly king

[tardy kayak]

zote²

[drowsy isle]

how can there be a harder version of the hardest boss

[shell yacht]

Elder Hu
NKG no walls
Life
Nkg
absrad

[cerulean tree]

life

[high hedge]

Most players actually never got past Zote in the Arena

[carmine sapphire]

i mean it has to be hard but not too hard because its the main story

[quartz yew]

Hoping for another Godhome dlc so a youtuber I followed can finally upload again.

[high hedge]

They just collapse from fear

[tardy kayak]

elder hu

[drowsy isle]

the hardest boss won't be in the main story

[carmine sapphire]

idk

[carmine sapphire]

obvs

[fossil cedar]

i wonder how theyll handle boss rush in silksong, they gotta have one

[quartz yew]

Gonna do something now. Continue being chaotic chat

[tough glen]

goddamnit I missed the 1000-day mark by a week

[carmine sapphire]

i dont know, in hk it was in a dream but now how will it be there without hornet actually dying

[cerulean sable]

should SS add shit like this for the big bois https://youtu.be/xZY0lVVStTk?t=16

[tardy kayak]

probably an end-game quest?

[fossil cedar]

i imagine the bossrush will be crazy fun at least

[tardy kayak]

depends

[tough glen]

what are we seeing here

[cerulean sable]

finishing move

[shy stirrup]

If i recall correctly, tc said that they dont have plans for a boss rush in ss

I would love a refight mode tho

[tough glen]

Oh

[fossil cedar]

imma be disappointed a little bit if they dont have any way to refight bosses

[carmine sapphire]

big bosses yes

[tough glen]

I thought you were showing something more complex

[carmine sapphire]

i think at first ss wont have such a thing

[tough glen]

So you just want hornet to be able to do some epic move to kill off a boss?

[modest night]

oh shit it's ttacco

hi ttacco

[cerulean sable]

hi bonia

[split tide]

SS probably won’t have a boss rush mode connected to the main story like in godhome, but they may put in a boss rush/HoG style thing as a separate part of the game

[fossil cedar]

i agree

[tough glen]

Possibly like adding godseeker mode without godhome in normal saves

Hm

Did they say anything about their plans for a boss rush?

[fossil cedar]

not to my knowledge

but the boss rush in hollow knight was really fun so i hope they have one for silksong

[carmine sapphire]

yes

[brittle garnet]

Ari did tell Mossbag when they met at Pax Aus once that he "hopes we aren't expecting another Godhome"

[tough glen]

Ah

[fossil cedar]

sad

[carmine sapphire]

i mean technically it isnt

[split tide]

Wdym

[carmine sapphire]

the main story is just the pk, vessels, and infection stuff

everything else is kind of side stories in a way

[tardy kayak]

i hope its like a little emote you can do, kinda like the thing you can do by pressing R3

[tardy kayak]

i was about to say "void"

[glass elk]

voidsong is just hk

[split tide]

It still gives an ending

[tardy kayak]

where's the song

Godhome is fairly separate, but it is still a part of the main storyline

Let's talk about Silksong When

[carmine sapphire]

[crisp drift]

uh no i like to still be able to talk in #hk-lore

[digital glen]

Good summary of this channel

[distant vapor]

12 decembuary 2012

[tardy kayak]

the hollow knight players do get a bit quirky at night

[trim estuary]

Yeah I think it would be funny

[digital glen]

One of the most cursed things for me is downwards sharp shadow

[carmine sapphire]

its cool

[tardy kayak]

oh no

[distant vapor]

cheap dd, cry about it

[trim estuary]

I just realized that’s an actual thing

[glass elk]

[crisp drift]

downward sharp shadow
hmmmmmmm

[bleak scarab]

wait wut

[tardy kayak]

downwards dash is useless

[distant vapor]

upward sharp shadow when

[digital glen]

Some people do thrid colleseum in a really unique way with that move

[opaque sigil]

Yeah pretty much

[split tide]

Unless you’re Joseph Anderson

[carmine sapphire]

hey tammo

[opaque sigil]

Down dash is a novelty, really

[digital glen]

Okay, wheres the charm that lets you dash in 8 directions like Celeste?

[split tide]

Nonexistent

[carmine sapphire]

dash sage

[distant vapor]

double dash, wave dashing, dont make path of pain and white palace harder please

[digital glen]

Its useful for missclicking and dashing into spikes in PoP

[carmine sapphire]

how would that make it harder

[tardy kayak]

agreed

[distant vapor]

depending on if white palace gets changed with celeste mechanics

also i should buy celeste soon

[carmine sapphire]

white palace level celeste mod

[digital glen]

PoP will be Farewell level difficulty and lenght

[distant vapor]

chapter 9 hollow knight edition

[carmine sapphire]

or chapter 10

[tardy kayak]

hollow knight players are really masochist

[distant vapor]

silksong is our therapist, but she hasnt showed up yet

[carmine sapphire]

they said ss will be as hard as hk.

[distant vapor]

plus hornet has diagonal dash
silk palace will be pain

[carmine sapphire]

[opaque sigil]

What diagonal dash?

[carmine sapphire]

i hope we still have 4 saves and they dont pull a animal crossing new horizons on us

I think they mean the flip after the sprint or the down pogo thing

[distant vapor]

how about 5 saves

[opaque sigil]

Yeah I doubt there will be fewer, especially with Silk Soul mode.

[carmine sapphire]

[carmine sapphire]

silk soul poggers

[opaque sigil]

Silk soul very poggers

[distant vapor]

steel silk mode

[still dragon]

Watch it be called Steel Soul again

[glass elk]

steel spool mode

[distant vapor]

1hp, little soul silk, no charms, no needle upgrades, perma death
cry about it

[carmine sapphire]

i wonder what theyll call it

[opaque sigil]

It's not, name's known, and it's not the same as steel soul

[carmine sapphire]

silk*

[glass elk]

what is it then

[carmine sapphire]

and tools*

[opaque sigil]

Challenge Silk Soul mode! Once you conquer the game, test your skills in an all-new mode that spins the game into a unique, challenging experience.
From reveal blogpost

Sounds like it won't be a permadeath mode, which is an improvement imo

[carmine sapphire]

what

[distant vapor]

silksong news when

[carmine sapphire]

but maybe its just a placeholder name, so we know what they talkin about

[crisp drift]

iirc silk soul is also listed on steam page

[opaque sigil]

probably

[distant vapor]

Its almost febuary my dudes
ready to wear clown outfits

[opaque sigil]

The steam description is just copied from that blogpost so yeah, it mentions silk soul

[random fox]

What

:o

Is that real

[opaque sigil]

Yes

[empty frigate]

It's been announced since day one

[trim estuary]

No I’m gonna be wearing the victory garb as a preemptive celebration

[tranquil jay]

Silk soul silk soul

[opaque sigil]

Silk Soul seems like a big improvement over steel soul, which was kinda redundant and purposeless.

[trim estuary]

I hope Silksoul is like terraria’s expert mode

[digital glen]

People give a lot of ideas for silksoul mode, but if it just bindings or some kinda of limitation to you gameplay, i dont think thats gonna do it for me

[opaque sigil]

It doesn't sound like it's a limitation

Challenge Silk Soul mode! Once you conquer the game, test your skills in an** all-new mode that spins the game into a unique, challenging experience.**
Sounds like it adds, rather than takes away

Otherwise calling it a unique spin on the base mode would be odd

[glass elk]

maybe its like a silksong romhack where the level design is harder, but that might be too ambitious

[strange pawn]

I hope we still get regular steelsoul along with this new one

[opaque sigil]

Like I wouldn't consider the option to have bindings in HK main game to be a unique challenge

[brittle garnet]

I hope we don't

[ocean mulch]

Permadeath can be self imposed

[brittle garnet]

steel soul sucked

[digital glen]

We can only imagine what this spin is, i have no idea what they could do, or hie much effort they will put on the mode

[opaque sigil]

Steel Soul doesn't hurt but it doesn't really serve much of a point. A mere achievement would accomplish as much, as could self-imposed restrictions

[distant vapor]

kaizo silksong when

Kaizosong

[glass elk]

hollow knight impossible mod but it's official

[strange pawn]

Still though, just having a normal challenge mode available doesn't hurt at all.

[trim estuary]

I hope Silksoul is better AI, new attacks from some normal enemies and most bosses, more enemies do 2 damage, and new tools maybe?

[opaque sigil]

I very much said that

[ocean mulch]

Better AI sounds quite ambitious

[opaque sigil]

It doesn't hurt but it doesn't really help either

[ocean mulch]

Hey look it's gay bowser

[strange pawn]

No to new tools I want them available in the main game

[strange pawn]

Disagree

[glass elk]

maybe its like the doom eternal master levels where the level design is the same but the enemies are rearranged and there are a lot more hard enemies early on

[trim estuary]

Okay then, stronger tools

[opaque sigil]

Eh so long as silk soul isn't permadeath I really have no problem with some new stuff in it

[ocean mulch]

Glorified tools lololol

[opaque sigil]

And so long as it isn't designed to be an extreme challenge

[glass elk]

and some of the bosses could have altered arenas just like the ascended versions of bosses in hk

[opaque sigil]

That Silk Soul is supposed to be harder than the base experience doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be on the level of, say, PoP

[digital glen]

I talked about revamped bosses for silksoul, obviously not all, but it couls work for some

[opaque sigil]

That's a good idea

[digital glen]

lol

[strange pawn]

Watch it just be us overthinking it and it's just all bindings in the main game

[ocean mulch]

I think new quests could be a possibility

[glass elk]

no silksong has to meet my unrealistic expectations otherwise its literally the worst video game ever

[opaque sigil]

The wording suggests some level of uniquity to its changes that things like bindings just couldn't really provide imo

Less health, damage, silk, etc isn't unique

It's just the same but harder

I could see increasing the health of some enemies depending on how high Hornet's damage can get

Like HK is kinda trivialized with pure nail

[stark estuary]

It's often more fun when the boss gets buffed rather than the player getting nerfed

[ocean mulch]

True

[opaque sigil]

It is, though buffing through just more health and damage is effectually the same

[split tide]

Yeah

[strange pawn]

Regardless I don't it's gonna be as fancy as some people think it is. It might just be "harder enemies, more health for bosses"

[carmine sapphire]

i dont have expectations for it, so im surprised by anything

[random fox]

Yeah i hope its smth more complex, reducing ur stats or making enemies have more health or just do more damage is a pretty lazy way to do difficult modes

[opaque sigil]

Possibly, although the way it was introduced sounds like it's more

[split tide]

I could see something like katana zero’s hard mode, where harder enemies are introduced earlier and positioned such that they significantly increase difficulty

[opaque sigil]

That could be a part of it

[carmine sapphire]

thas smart actualy damn

[opaque sigil]

I do think Silksong may have more emphasis on mob combat so mixing things up there could make a real difference

[random fox]

Silksoul: all enemies oneshot u and u deal 1 damage per hit

[glass elk]

realistically its probably just enemy placement changes plus maybe some minor tweaks to levels and bosses

[trim estuary]

I know people want a boss rush and all, but why not a boss mob? You fight all the bosses at once

[strange pawn]

Hell no

[carmine sapphire]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[trim estuary]

yes

[random fox]

I hope they add a boss rush or atleast a way to replay bosses, even if it doesnt have lore

[opaque sigil]

Fair and balanced

[strange pawn]

Install some mods and beat absrad, NKG, and PV at once then come back to me

[trim estuary]

Okay brb

[opaque sigil]

Boss refights would be great. I personally don't really care about boss rush, but so long as it isn't presented as it was in HK I would have limited problems with it

[violet path]

hk discussion is dead so I came here

[strange pawn]

Yeah tbh boss rushes are kinda a bad concept in of themselves

[random fox]

Idc alot about boss rushes too honestly

[strange pawn]

Having to fight all this fodder just to fight the new boss

Or dying right at the end and having to do it all over again

[violet path]

if not a bossrush, I still hope they eventually add a greater challenge that most players will probably struggle on

[opaque sigil]

Oh I don't really think they're inherently bad I just don't think it's a great match for HK, and I don't like that it's presented as a part of a normal playthrough, or that content is locked behind it, or that it pressures optimization

[random fox]

I wish in pantheons or atleast p5 they made it so if u beat a boss like 3 times in a row u dont have to do it on next run, cuz the difficulty was really at the end and getting to it each run felt like a waste of time
