sk-discussion

[wispy burrow]

the game also didn't find that much success at launch

which team cherry cited as a good thing for them actually

[stark estuary]

I need something stronger than

[tired flicker]

I plan on playing both. Souls games and hollow knight are some of my favorite games

[lost tulip]

Oh yeah

Elden ring is happening

[opaque sigil]

Imagine if you could buy two games

[random fox]

Back then they didnt know what was gonna heppen or if it would even sell, now they know and theres no reason to not want the best possible sales, also believe it or not tc doesnt hate money

[tawdry valley]

Sick, but in any case - TC at its most ambitious would be aiming at a generally non overlapping market

[lost tulip]

Was the geforce leak before or after they delayed it to febuary

[gilded adder]

They never delayed anything because the game never had a release date.

[opaque sigil]

Anyways y'all are both way overstating ER's audience and not recognizing that the industry is pretty big

[wind rover]

The idea that silksong and elden ring wouldnt be competing would be like if yall were arguing that the bayo audience is so different from the dmc audience that they wouldnt be competing if they came out in the same month

[tired flicker]

Silk song could probably compete with Elden ring. Many of my friends who enjoy one enjoy the other

[lost tulip]

I mean er was delayed

[gilded adder]

oh, my bad then.

[opaque sigil]

Those are actually similar games, and people could still play both

ER and SS are not even close to similar

[wind rover]

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME DARK SOULS ISNT AT ALL SIMILAR TO HOLLOW KNIGHT

[obsidian juniper]

Also ss Is a indie game with like 10 persons working on it,it doesnt really need as much money as elder ring

[random fox]

Also i dont see how in any way ppl still think feb 1st is possible, its a week away, no anouncment yet, no big events before it to announce it at, theres no reason to think feb 1st is more possible then tomorow or the day after

[opaque sigil]

Not sufficiently to have an identical or majorly overlapping audience

[stark estuary]

SS is a $15 indie metroidvania releasing on Switch and PC. ER is a $60 AAA releasing on PC and the next-gen consoles. Why on earth would TC lose sales? Different consoles, different price points, different genres, therefore different audiences. The fact that ER will have more publicity is irrelevant, SS wouldn't have had that anyway. Even if both games were targeted at the exact same audience, it's not like people would only be able to buy one game and not the other... (even if early sales were impacted as a result)

[wind rover]

They absolutely have a majorly overlapping audience

[opaque sigil]

Metroidvania vs arpg, very different games

[gilded adder]

Or be me and be in both aduiances

[wind rover]

MOST PEOPLE ARE

[opaque sigil]

Not really

[random fox]

Compete hype wise/how many ppl will play?

[random fox]

Er is current gen too

[stark estuary]

Do you know where the caps lock key is

[opaque sigil]

HK and dark souls are entirely different genres

[wind rover]

Ok, show of hands, who here hasnt played dark souls?

[stark estuary]

Wrong reply

[pale lion]

i havent

[opaque sigil]

I haven't

[wind rover]

And who here has?

[opaque sigil]

But more importantly, show of hands who here wouldn't ever play silksong just because a dark souls game released around the same time

[tired flicker]

Me

[random fox]

I dont usualy buy alot of games so if they released at same time id probably go with er

[wind rover]

Yeah those results wont be skewed in checks notes the official hollow knight discord

[opaque sigil]

But you would buy SS eventually

[tranquil mist]

You need notes to see you’re in a hollow knight discord?

[opaque sigil]

You're the one arguing that SS's audience would vanish

SS's audience is the relevant set of individuals

[wind rover]

No Im saying itd diminish the launch

[stark estuary]

The point is it's not releasing on the same consoles as SS (aside from PC)

[digital glen]

WAIt we are in 2022???

[opaque sigil]

We are.

[stark estuary]

We aren't.

[tranquil mist]

Crazy times

[gilded adder]

Have been for 23 days.

[random fox]

Well yea, but that would hurt on release sales which i think are the most important no? Also every content creator would be going for er. Btw yea ss would get the publicity if er hadnt released cuz its a pretty massive game too, its no longer some hidden game only known by a few ppl

[rocky belfry]

so anyone have any news about silksong?

[digital glen]

what happened, 2019 was a couple of weeks ago

[opaque sigil]

Sales on day one aren't necessarily more important than sales on day 20

[stark estuary]

You said this earlier and failed to explain how or why, or to provide a source.

[odd plover]

Damn

[random fox]

Explain what

[opaque sigil]

Why does it matter if somebody buys the game day one or in the following weeks

[odd plover]

To come in such an uproar, how terrible

[opaque sigil]

And this is only for a small subset of the audience

[random fox]

I said that i think day 1 sales would be most important i didnt say its a fact

[opaque sigil]

Then why argue based off it

[stark estuary]

ig reasoning is unnecessary?

[random fox]

Im arguing about publicity mostly

Which it would lose

[opaque sigil]

SS appeals to a different audience

[tardy folio]

is this person trustworthy enough to believe him or?

[stark estuary]

The hell

[lean zenith]

you better beleive it

[opaque sigil]

SS also has a dedicated fanbase, it has all the publicity it needs. The AAA writers were never going to say jack about SS anyways

[rare nymph]

I dont know, maybe

[random fox]

Big creators would still play it just because of how popular it was, it would lose publicity in that way if it released with er

[sinful flare]

Yes

[opaque sigil]

Why fixate so much on content creators, they're not the only form of publicity

[coarse leaf]

gotta say, really hope the Grimm troupe somehow returns in ss

[odd plover]

Hey, I'm sure that all of this speculation won't matter in the end, so getting mad over this is inherently pointless

[opaque sigil]

And there will be people streaming SS and whatnot regardless

[random fox]

Currently they are the biggest form of publicity

[odd plover]

If grimm comes back be 100% sure people will ship him with trobio

[woven rampart]

if it ever comes out

[tired flicker]

My only issue with them releasing at the same time is that I wouldn't know which to play first

[odd plover]

Or however he was called

[stark estuary]

Yeah, a lot of content creators would play SS too, and it's not like people will only watch one content creator or like content creators only play one game at a time.

[coarse leaf]

who tf is trobio

[odd plover]

Grimm 2.0

[random fox]

Happy bug

[coarse leaf]

OH RIGHT

[opaque sigil]

The existence of other creators playing ER (and a hypothetical lack of those playing SS) would also pressure creators to play SS

[odd plover]

Do you want grimm in ss now?

[heavy mason]

I’m gona try to stay blind when I play ss

[coarse leaf]

yes

[sinful flare]

Yes

[coarse leaf]

not necessarily Grimm but someone related to the Grimm troupe

nightmare king grimm one of the best boss fights

[heavy mason]

Yus

[sinful flare]

Nightmare king trobio !!!!!!!!!!????????

[coarse leaf]

i meam i think everyone can agree with that

but sisters of battle still on top

[odd plover]

We officially have a ship name

[sage glade]

hk never really got its initial success from yters anyway

[odd plover]

Sisters of battle are harder than hollow knight

[sinful flare]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[coarse leaf]

DUDE YES HARD AGREE
my favorite boss fight ever its sooo freakin gooood!

[coarse leaf]

yes

[sinful flare]

NOOOOOOOO NOT THE SHIP NOO

[heavy mason]

It was cool but kinda Annoying

[coarse leaf]

my man

[opaque sigil]

Many things are harder than THK

THK isn't that hard

[heavy mason]

PV is on top for me

[coarse leaf]

pv is also really cool

[sage glade]

thk ain't hard at all with nail lv5

[coarse leaf]

but i also really like the collector

[stark estuary]

It's not like SS isn't sufficiently hyped already, and it should also be considered that it will probably be something like 1/4 of ER's price which may encourage the fragment of the potential playerbase who would eventually buy both to buy SS first and ER later.

[spice wigeon]

So we got a confirmation that debunked the February release ?

[heavy mason]

Also I think most of ss sales will be on the switch

[opaque sigil]

no

[odd plover]

Are we forgetting the words of our lord mossbag? "thou shalt not like any boss other than gray prince zote"

[opaque sigil]

That's very possible

[tired flicker]

really?

[heavy mason]

Not really but I’m sure that feb1th release date is a placeholder

[coarse leaf]

i hope it comes on all platforms at the same time

[odd plover]

Why do I feel like the source was a hk youtuber, (not saying it's mossbag, it could be anyone)

[opaque sigil]

Although once playstation and xbox ports happen (if they do) then between ps, xbox, and pc it may exceed switch sales, but switch is certainly promising as the most successful platform

[odd plover]

Cause they are the most likely people to get in touch with tc

[stark estuary]

It is indeed, the switch is a very successful console and most people probably value portability over specs for a game like SS (especially earlier on when there are no mods)

[odd plover]

Elder rign

[coarse leaf]

people are gonna speedrun the mods

[sage glade]

older disk

[tired flicker]

I wouldn't choose getting it on switch over PC

[heavy mason]

I can’t wait to see the ss Randomizer

[stark estuary]

Well the modders need to play the game before making the mods

[opaque sigil]

Some would, and some don't have computers that they use for games

I'm buying it on switch over PC 100%

[sage glade]

switches are cheaper than gpus

[tired flicker]

I mean if you have the option for either. I think I just prefer a larger screen

[coarse leaf]

the ss videos are gonna keep be entertained for months

[stark estuary]

Same

[opaque sigil]

docked mode

[heavy mason]

My Mac works like trash so switch for me

[coarse leaf]

damn y'all rich huh

switch is expensive

100% PC for me

[stark estuary]

Admittedly I never really use docked mode

[opaque sigil]

So are computers

[heavy mason]

It’s 200 for a switch lite

[tardy folio]

i wouldn't be surprised if silksong was only released in 2024/2025 lol

[stark estuary]

If not more so

[opaque sigil]

Yeah, I used to mainly use it handheld but I've since swapped over to mainly docking it

[heavy mason]

Naa 2022-2023

[heavy mason]

I lost my dock

[coarse leaf]

I just want it on my 6 years old ps4

[opaque sigil]

oof

[coarse leaf]

my bet is on 2023

[stark estuary]

You can buy a replacement one but I imagine those are pretty pricey

[opaque sigil]

Can probably buy them used

[heavy mason]

Say early 2023

[stark estuary]

There's third party ones and stuff too

[coarse leaf]

I'd rather wait than ss being a disappointment

cyberpunk moment

[heavy mason]

It’s fine I’m play on handheld

[opaque sigil]

That's fair, although the option is nice to have

[heavy mason]

https://tenor.com/view/nintendo-switch-switch-nintendo-logo-snap-gif-23208478

[stark estuary]

Yeah handheld is perfectly fine for most games

[heavy mason]

I played hollow knight on my switch and got 112%

[opaque sigil]

Handheld hasn't been great for me lately but that's mostly because one of my controllers is like 3 years old and the left bumper no longer works, plus sometimes it disconnects

[heavy mason]

Pro bred gamer

[stark estuary]

Joy-Con moment

[tired flicker]

I think it comes down to do you wanna give any $ to Nintendo or Steam

[odd plover]

Ok imagine this: for hk anniversary they release the ss demo

[sage glade]

no

[stark estuary]

That happened to one of mine too, then one day it just stopped working altogether

[opaque sigil]

I mean it lasted long enough that I'm not gonna complain, and it's still usable

[heavy mason]

Drift moment

[opaque sigil]

It's not drifting at all

[heavy mason]

Prob won’t cus it was only for e3

[heavy mason]

Oh good

[odd plover]

When was that e3

[opaque sigil]

2019

[stark estuary]

Last night

[heavy mason]

Unless they put in on pc

[dusty nimbus]

Whenever I remember silksong it's usually very short bursts of happiness

[opaque sigil]

My first set of joycons started drifting after like two years, which was really annoying, but my current set isn't doing that at all

[heavy mason]

My first set also drift but my new ones don’t

[dusty nimbus]

Did the first set of joycons lose its drivers license?

[stark estuary]

I think I use the Pro Controller more than I use the Joy-Cons even on handheld

[dusty nimbus]

You simply want silksong

[opaque sigil]

They lost their "not in the garbage" license

[thorny parrot]

I someday dream of seeing the release date for silksong... who knows whenever that day will come....

[dusty nimbus]

[opaque sigil]

So you use the stand thing?

[sage glade]

william knows i bet

[stark estuary]

Well the stand doesn't really work, I normally prop it up on something

[heavy mason]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-agree-yup-nod-gif-14017499

[opaque sigil]

ig that works, but the screen is pretty small for that

[heavy mason]

Same bro same

[stark estuary]

I just clicked on the corner and extended it outwards

[thorny parrot]

The first time I played Hollow Knight, I loved it, it was to be my most favorite platformer style game I've ever played

[heavy mason]

That’s why it took my 44 hours to get the first ending

[tawdry valley]

Yeah

[stark estuary]

||/j||

[thorny parrot]

I just want to re-experience hallownest

[heavy mason]

I started playing back in August of last year

[thorny parrot]

It took me a full week to finish the game

[opaque sigil]

Ye I get the joke

[stark estuary]

I know you do.

[opaque sigil]

[heavy mason]

Soul sanctuary is my favorite theam

[tawdry valley]

Greenpath theme underrated as fuck

[sage glade]

we joshing

[ocean mulch]

Queen's gardens better

[coarse leaf]

whatever the Sisters of Battle music is called 🔥

[heavy mason]

Kingdom edge is also vary good

[tawdry valley]

Nosk theme = S tier workout music

[opaque sigil]

Sisters of Battle

[thorny parrot]

hornet theme = 🔥

[ocean mulch]

The best theme in HK is Royal Waterways

[coarse leaf]

Hornet 😳

[uncut citrus]

PV's theme is so PV like tho

[heavy mason]

Soul sanctum

[thorny parrot]

what about lace's theme is silksong 😳 that is a really good song too!

[stark estuary]

I like Sealed Vessel

[heavy mason]

It’s fine

[tribal schooner]

It took me awhile to get through that part cause I didn’t use the stag station near hornet to reset the fight so I did the climb everytime. It was so long and hard that I got a migraine until I beat hornet. Now the song kinda reminds me of that. But I still love facing hornet now. The song for the path to Sheo in green path is my favorite tho

[thorny parrot]

I like path of pain 😎 /s

[silver oak]

alright
how many times has the reddit post been brought up today

[olive bobcat]

My first and only set doesn't drift at all

[opaque sigil]

many

[heavy mason]

I like my Oregon music

[tawdry valley]

What Reddit post. I’m not fat

[silver oak]

expected

[stark estuary]

CoT theme is great, if a tad overrated. Hive Knight's theme is great too. And those would probably be my top 3.

[opaque sigil]

Unsupported "silksong not soon"

[uncut citrus]

ok but sad

[silver oak]

The HK subreddit mods got info from "a source" that silksong isn't expected to be soon

[thorny parrot]

yo guys the royal waterways whatever ambient sounds in the background are fire 🔥

[heavy mason]

I don’t really trust it

[bright trench]

https://youtu.be/weR-Fprw6dQ

[tawdry valley]

Posting this here for everyone’s future convenience then.

[silver oak]

They didn't say who it was but if the mods of the biggest HK subreddit trust it then I think there's some credibility

[stark estuary]

They're water

[heavy mason]

But I can see it

[bright trench]

it didnt rly say anything new cus if theres no release trailer then its not coming imminently

[distant saddle]

guys my source says that silksong will include big balls in the game...

[heavy mason]

SHUT

[distant saddle]

large hairy...

[heavy mason]

no no no no no no

[stark estuary]

Just when we thought #sk-discussion couldn't get any worse

[opaque sigil]

Wow, that is convenient

[heavy mason]

Don’t say it

[distant saddle]

say what

[silver oak]

It was probably for the worryingly large amount of people who believed the geforce leak
plus we can't really use the timeframe for HK trailer/release for silksong, the circumstances could easily be different

[brazen needle]

I just watched fireb0rn's video on the geforce leak again , and was wondering: what if tc put the release date there to be found intentionally, because it seems like it might have been added after the start of the leak. Maybe tc wanted to tell us a release but didn't want the community to implode, so they added something that had some doubt

[stark estuary]

Get your tin foil hats

[opaque sigil]

You know that's absurd right

[bright trench]

wheres the release trailer

[thorny parrot]

We will get a release date in the year 3000 🙄 ||/s||

[heavy mason]

It’s just a Placehoder

[nimble radish]

never take mine off

[heavy mason]

No

[nimble radish]

the government can read your brainwaves, y'know

[quartz vine]

Optimists, they’re all the same…

[brazen needle]

wdym

[tribal schooner]

Fire born seems to think that febuary is not impossible but feb 1st I’d def a placeholder. I concur personally

[stark estuary]

It's the pigeons

[heavy mason]

We’re diving into some conspiracy theories

[brazen needle]

*It might be a placeholder

[thorny parrot]

you're right! the release date must be in the year 4000!!! ||/s||

[bright trench]

if u think its comin feb 1 then they woulda released a release trailer by now

[heavy mason]

No

[uncut citrus]

why woudnt it be possible? bruh

[bright trench]

no release trailer and elden ring is coming

[pale lion]

I'm just waiting for the next direct to possibly give some news but eh

[brazen needle]

Maybe read what I wrote before challenging it. I said why they wouldn't do that

[thorny parrot]

gonna be in 5000 😔 /s

[tribal schooner]

They actually don’t even need your brain waves now. They have surveillance so advanced that it reads the nuanced signals of your body and face to know your thoughts perfectly

[heavy mason]

SHUT

[thorny parrot]

😦

[gilded adder]

So pumped for ER. It's gonna be so good.

[heavy mason]

The bred is much smarter then you

[thorny parrot]

I am being sarcastic 😔 idk when it will come out I can just hope for soon

[uncut citrus]

you know it doesnt have to release the 1st? they could have a trailer 1moth before release and release it at the end of feb? ofc it wont be the first but feb isnt impossible

[heavy mason]

It will

[thorny parrot]

I'm being sarcastic tho....

[bright trench]

they wouldnt want people to imlode 3 months b4 it comes out, but 2 weeks they would

[heavy mason]

That’s true

[uncut citrus]

@sacred stratus

[brazen needle]

I don't think that it's just crazy conspiracy

[bright trench]

i truly hope so

[wheat sail]

News in february maybe

[opaque sigil]

How is what you said not a crazy conspiracy theory

[thorny parrot]

I hope so

[heavy mason]

Prob will

[wheat sail]

Release probably not at this point

[gilded adder]

I'm actually playing through DS3 for the first time, really fun so far even though I'm rusty and bad

[nimble radish]

lack of comma moment

[heavy mason]

With the hollow knight anniversary that “leaked date” and the next Direct prob so

[thorny parrot]

☹️

[tribal schooner]

They could give a trailer the same day as release. Everyone thinks that I trailer has to come before but that’s not necessarily true

[opaque sigil]

There isn't supposed to be a comma

[stark estuary]

No comma needed

How is it that I get snailed by Tammo when trying to correct Lori for trying to correct Tammo

[brazen needle]

it... it is

[bright trench]

ig but hk trailer came 2 weeks b4, altough they dont have to follow the trend, plus it might not give some enough time to hear abt it

[nimble radish]

really? I think one would totally change the meaning "I don't think that, it's just a crazy conspiracy theory"

[wheat sail]

Maybe March release 👁️

[bright trench]

point of a trailer is to let people know and also get people interested

[heavy mason]

I can kinda see

[tribal schooner]

As many people as we have seen about the Reddit post I think a trailer 30 seconds before a release would be enough to a hundred thousand copies immediately as it becomes available

[heavy mason]

Don’t be rude to bred

[tribal schooner]

Right next to where you died 😉

I'm not

Let me check

[odd plover]

Pc superiority

[olive bobcat]

0.138 GBs

[lost tulip]

How big is the original on pc

[olive bobcat]

Wdym

[lost tulip]

How many gbs is it

[olive bobcat]

0.138

[opaque sigil]

Like 9, if you mean HK

[lost tulip]

Yeah

Im assuming it will be slightly more

[olive bobcat]

Oh you mean SS

[tired lake]

Its been like a year since we had news right

[wheat sail]

wrong

[olive bobcat]

Yeah

[lost tulip]

Technically a year and one month

[tired lake]

fuck me

[lost tulip]

Because the magazine was in december i think

Also dont they typically update us in February

[uncut citrus]

last day of dec so not quite one moth

[digital dome]

I got baited so hard by youtube today
https://youtu.be/pFAknD_9U7c

[lost tulip]

Not last year

[olive bobcat]

No

[tired lake]

lol imma lose hope at this point

[lost tulip]

The last one with characters was in june i think

2020

[tired lake]

Life goes by so fast for me rn

I remember us saying ss in 2020

good times, good times

[gilded adder]

I remember people saying SS would release in 2019.

[olive bobcat]

"The demo means SS soon, right guys?"

[tired lake]

... Silksong is coming out soon..

[lost tulip]

I mean, this is different from a major studio game

[tired lake]

[lost tulip]

They can release it at any time with no problems

[viral silo]

It will release in 2086

[lost tulip]

Which means they can continue adding stuff and patching it

Meanwhile demos for larger games are made when its ready

[wheat sail]

I wouldnt believe a game would come out soon either if they had a demo of multiple areas...

[lost tulip]

Was the only one the bone forest?

[tired lake]

I remember seeing the trailer and was like "hm, this will take 2 years at max."

[wheat sail]

moss area too

[lost tulip]

Was it even the whole area

[wheat sail]

what are you trying to say

[tawdry valley]

Silksong will most likely release in 2022

[nimble radish]

silksong is already out

just repeat it, over and over
until you believe it

out loud, repeat it out loud
not in chat

[lone elbow]

R/Hollow Knight mods made an announcement deconfirminf an imminent release. So people don't lose their shit on the leak date

[distant saddle]

silksong will be out on the 32'nd

[lone elbow]

I'm getting close to having to change my nickname

[tawdry valley]

Please try to remember the first of Octember

[gilded adder]

Do you remember?

The 21st night of September

[tawdry valley]

No but seriously that dr suess book has way too much hilarious application here

[uncut citrus]

thats exactly what i thought about bruh

[tawdry valley]

Maybe because I literally just said the title of the book

[deft wigeon]

guys fun fact: silksong will never ever be released that is the good part about it 🤗

[wheat sail]

TC let reddit mods know ? very believable

[uncut citrus]

i mean to jonny

[haughty brook]

Can someone give the short version of that reddit post please?

[uncut citrus]

"SS coming not soon cause source says so, source isnt TC"

[wheat sail]

why not just say the source if its TC

[tawdry valley]

Because they made it the fuck up because they don’t like moderating

[uncut citrus]

its not TC thats the thing

[marsh ibex]

They said it wasn’t TC

So it’s not really valid and idk why they even brought it up

[wheat sail]

not tc then uhh

[haughty brook]

That post somewhat bothers me because is so vaguen and unimformative.

[wheat sail]

leth isnt in tc so

[tawdry valley]

It was revealed to them in a dream

[wheat sail]

🚎

[coral glacier]

SS is confirmed for march

[tawdry valley]

Literally Tc head of marketing tho

[gilded adder]

Leth is technically a part of TC, he's just working on a contract like Graig iirc but don't quote me on that.

[tribal schooner]

Probably to prevent an explosion of questions on the subreddit when feb 1st comes and goes without news

[wheat sail]

who would the source be then

[coral glacier]

Wait he actually says that? Badass

[tawdry valley]

No, it’s just senator armstong mirrors that energy exactly

[atomic sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIHIwKB6eNc&ab_channel=GianniMatragrano

[tawdry valley]

If I post it 3 times it’s spam

[coral glacier]

Its still amazing

[tribal schooner]

Nobody who is in the know I’m sure

[tawdry valley]

Correct

[wheat sail]

[haughty brook]

Somewhat unrelated but I hope one day we have a Max0r video about HK or just one on his style.

[gilded adder]

Who's Max0r?

[haughty brook]

A guy who makes great shitposting videos about games with funny insights on the gameplay/lore while like it was on drugs.

[gilded adder]

I see

[torn ravine]

My favorite video of his is the Bloodborne one.

[wheat sail]

I have a source that says SS is out in Q2 this year 🙄

[gilded adder]

I have a source saying your source is wrong.

[wheat sail]

their privacy, i want to respect though

[alpine zephyr]

Beans

[wheat sail]

so I can't say anything about them

[ruby oriole]

please lord almighty, give us silksong 2022

I'm going to church tomorrow

[wheat sail]

halleluejueah

[brittle garnet]

I honestly think it's preemptive damage control

Oh wait I misunderstood your message

[marsh ibex]

i mean yeah, but they could do that without saying they have a secret source that isn’t TC that doesn’t believe ss isn’t coming out soon

[brittle garnet]

Yeah, I know.

[wheat sail]

I mean why would they say it without a source anywa

[brittle garnet]

But maybe they hope that most people won't look into the comment replies

[wheat sail]

sloppy mod work

who would believe them if they wont say the source or how the source is legit/valid

Its just so they can say to people "i told you so" if the game doesnt release instead of actually helping anything

[sullen fractal]

I caught the plague please release silksong before I succumb to my illness

[brittle garnet]

Well, if the source is legit, then I think it has to be someone from Steam or Nintendo.

[wheat sail]

not not steam mayyybe nintendo

Tc just puts the game on steam themselves yeah

[brittle garnet]

And them not disclosing even who they are, not necessarily the name, is also kinda fishy. Though if people knew who they were they could maybe find their name.
The most damming thing is their wording. Their contact "is not expecting an imminent Silksong release". So what? That's not an objective statement.

Who outside of TC could ever say that with any degree of certainty?

[marsh ibex]

their reasoning for not giving a who is also weird

Not violating their privacy I understand

but

Just mentioned this elsewhere: We don't want to violate this person's privacy and they're not a prolific Youtuber or something, so they likely have nothing to gain from the publicity. We want to be clear that our information is not coming directly from TC, but someone we find reliable and credible. It is not a "leak" or anything worth amateur detective work, as people do with leaks about other things.

[opaque sigil]

There's also, beyond the question of who would have insight, who would be able to speak on that insight

[fervent rock]

why would someone like a playtester or something, that wanted to leak a tiiinnnyyy bit of ss info, go to the mods of the unofficial subreddit and no one else lol

[marsh ibex]

Nothing to gain out of it?

[wheat sail]

I think its leth even if he is TC's marketing lead he isn't part of Tc if you know what im sayin

[fervent rock]

he has a nda

[marsh ibex]

Why would he not simply say that here though

[fervent rock]

actually everyone even slightly involved probably does too so idk

[obsidian stirrup]

Useless post

[wheat sail]

He just doesnt want to say it publically cause its not officially from them but giving his opinion of 'not expecting' it 🤷

[opaque sigil]

If Leth wanted to (and could) disseminate info he would just do it

[marsh ibex]

instead of saying “oh, lemme go to some subreddit mods and also stay anonymous”

And directly from TC would count leth too

[coarse leaf]

do yall think it will come out in late 2022

[marsh ibex]

he directly works/talks with them

[wheat sail]

dont think TC really talks to many other people about the progress of the game dev

[brittle garnet]

I'm convinced that post was made as pure damage control for if February comes and goes

[wheat sail]

so idk

[opaque sigil]

Leth already is a public figure associated with the game, so reading that as alluding to Leth is kinda nonsensical

[brittle garnet]

It could be someone else who works for or with TC. A voice actor, other Playtester, etc.

[marsh ibex]

I’d assume their pr manager would know more about that considering he’d be the one who’d help with a release trailer and advertising that

[wheat sail]

Well could be leth saying what he thinks but doesnt want it really tied to him cause the rest of the team didn't officially say anything

[coarse leaf]

if there is even a trailer at the end of febuary i will be happy

[high hedge]

It’s actually Zote who said this, he has entered the physical world

[marsh ibex]

He’s already done that here

like saying he believes ss releases before crowsworn

again, there’s no real reason for him to want to be anon about this

[wheat sail]

🤷‍♀️

[opaque sigil]

There's also just nothing connecting him to this

[high hedge]

Definitely makes it funnier if it really is him

“You can’t say it was me, they need the hope.”

[pine tinsel]

Its a weird thing to even say really. "Not wanting to violate their privacy" but also essentially saying "theyre a nobody" don't really go together. It would actually make more a lot more sense to "not violate their privacy" if the source was a known name

[silver oak]

woah
the counter went up fast

[wheat sail]

The reddit mods wont even say like 'they work with tc' or anything. They just want us to take their word basically

[high hedge]

So it was just a random post on a forum?

[opaque sigil]

All the more reason not to take their word

[wheat sail]

might as well be

[high hedge]

Oh the hollow knight reddit?

[marsh ibex]

by one of their mods

[high hedge]

That’s less substantial than a Graig post

[opaque sigil]

You just can't claim to have a source and then not disclose it and expect people to give a damn

[wheat sail]

This is just their way of trying to get less people to mald about ss on the reddit i bet. Seems it will work

not

[high hedge]

Sike

[shell yacht]

its almost like the reddit mods know people and are trying to kill the unbased hype like i do bout 3 times a month

[marsh ibex]

I feel like if they said “the person wants to remain anonymous” I’d be less suspicious but they’re like “they wouldn’t gain anything out of it, they’re not a prolific youtuber or anything” is just weord

[opaque sigil]

Using bullshit to fight bullshit is still bullshit

[pine tinsel]

I'm basically just treating it as a non post. Nothing has changed, silksong news would be welcome but as usual I won't be actively getting my hopes up either

[odd plover]

One thing I absolutely adored of hk was the sheer amount of secrets there are, I hope it's no different in silksong (I am totally not trying to change the topic)

[high hedge]

Can TC do anything if a Reddit mod just gives a random release date?

[opaque sigil]

What do you think Feb 1 is

[wheat sail]

TC already sent assassins after me

[heavy mason]

Naa

[wheat sail]

I am rich so I pay the assassins to leave me alone

[shell yacht]

they dont control the subbredit like they dont control this server. like the post says, mods arent TC

[odd plover]

I dont think they would speak up just because a random person decided to say bullshit

[opaque sigil]

Nor can they be bothered to monitor it

[high hedge]

Makes sense

[shell yacht]

fr they tryna make a damn game

[marsh ibex]

They might if they start giving random release dates

[wheat sail]

Its me

[marsh ibex]

Leth might come in and be like “hey can you not do that”

[opaque sigil]

Except those will have no actual merit

[high hedge]

Then people would just call that damage control

[marsh ibex]

like they did with team cherry ganes

[shell yacht]

who are you

[opaque sigil]

Team Cherry Ganes was actually impersonating TC

[wheat sail]

im kirby irl

[heavy mason]

Hmmm

[high hedge]

Then why aren’t you cuter

[opaque sigil]

Rando users spouting bs doesn't really reflect poorly on TC

[wheat sail]

Saying im not cute?

[heavy mason]

I want bred

[wheat sail]

I dont wnna put my face as my pfp

[high hedge]

But Kirby’s iconic

[heavy mason]

[odd plover]

Holy shit

[jade canopy]

So it’s been around a day of people thinking and analysing the post and shit, so could someone give me a quick summary of the likelihood of all of that not just being bullshit

[shell yacht]

all im sayimg is, have us or the reddit ever denied hype and been wrong

[high hedge]

Kirbopher is the real Kirby

[opaque sigil]

It's unsubstantiated and therefore insubstantial

[loud spear]

Where’s the Feb 1 release rumour from?

[wheat sail]

Will you also lie to us about a source?

[shell yacht]

no

[high hedge]

Depression

[loud spear]

Oof

[heavy mason]

Who cares about this chat

[high hedge]

They call it “Silksong Madness”

[heavy mason]

I want bred

[heavy jay]

silksong now pls

[heavy mason]

Soon

[marsh ibex]

there’s no real evidence since they gave none and danced around giving evidence in replies

[heavy jay]

debuging faze gonna take forever

[marsh ibex]

so their source imo isn’t real

[heavy mason]

Hmm

[shell yacht]

i wouldnt quote a source bc i dont need a source to deny TC coming out of nowhere for every damn event. i simply have a grip on reality

[opaque sigil]

Source may be real, def can't be assumed to be valid

[odd plover]

Counterpoint: why are we even paying attention to reddit of all things to begin with?

[shell yacht]

bc a mod posted it

[high hedge]

What if it was revealed Todd Howard gave that information. Completely unrelated to anything

[burnt topaz]

and it was pinned

[heavy mason]

I want bred

[odd plover]

A reddit mod, couldn't be more trustworthy am I right

[high hedge]

Where Reddit goes the world follows.
-Ghandi

[heavy mason]

Thx

[opaque sigil]

none

[high hedge]

That’s why they call it the front page of life

[marsh ibex]

Becuz the reddit mod has a source

[odd plover]

He said that?

[marsh ibex]

Dun dun dun

[high hedge]

Yep

[wheat sail]

Source: deez

[opaque sigil]

which doesn't matter since he didn't share it

[odd plover]

Aw shucks

[shell yacht]

reddit users = gullible as fuck
reddit mods = usually never dare say sonething so official like without confirming
yall = ignored me for a year so lets jump on the reddit post i guess

[high hedge]

Ghandi was a well known redditor

[marsh ibex]

cope harder

[shell yacht]

i will boil you

[wheat sail]

Einstein said to not believe everything you see on the internet

[high hedge]

Someone on reddit posted a hollow knight among us meme

[heavy mason]

Your quite strange

[opaque sigil]

Paltry attempt to dissuade people from being shitty on the platform, presumably

[jade canopy]

Since all they say is vague and unprecise we should just no bother ? Sounds pretty good, it’s like, how would you translate it, psychanalyste, that analyse dreams and other shit, since you cannot prove it right or wrong, then it is not something you should bother, since the existence of news in the near future is likely (just considering that we didn’t have any for a year) saying that « a source » gave them news doesn’t mean shit as news will come soon regardless
That whole wall probably didn’t make sense but whatever fuck it

[hollow terrace]

I can’t believe when we make a post in #hk-announcements we’re gonna be questioned for where we got our sources

[marsh ibex]

*you’re

[high hedge]

Maybe they want your quite strange

[shell yacht]

im gonna be the one to announce silksong and yall will still complain for a week bc you think its not out

[marsh ibex]

not my fault people are foolish

[hollow terrace]

Just know when it happens im blaming jojoker for making folks asking for my sources

[high hedge]

Could you do it right now

[marsh ibex]

there’s an easy way to answer that

[pine tinsel]

If they had confirmed like "for 1 month" or something then sure I'd understand more, but just saying "imminent" could be anything. It could mean 1 day or it could mean 6 months. It really does feel like they don't give a clear timeframe just so they can gain credibility for "their source" when its convient to say that they were right about it

[marsh ibex]

“Fucking leth and I made it up bitch”

[hollow terrace]

Source??????

[shell yacht]

that would be lying which is the opposite of the point

[marsh ibex]

my mom

[shell yacht]

nanomachines?

[hearty plank]

Wait…. Is there a silksong drama now?

[wheat sail]

We don't want to violate this person's privacy and they're not a prolific Youtuber or something, so they likely have nothing to gain from the publicity.

[odd plover]

Ghandi really fell off

[high hedge]

Is it still lying if I want it to be true?

[shell yacht]

yes

I'm so glad this "source" thing became the meme of the moment

[jade canopy]

Well I’ve seen that one video were they says that the mods respond to TGA was bad, at least the hollow cord mods don’t post news out of their asses for fun

[high hedge]

If I message a Redditor can I announce Silksong, I’m not a YouTuber

[shell yacht]

istg next time Leth speaks yall are gonna ask him for a source and hes never gonna speak here again

[hollow terrace]

Yeah we don’t….

haha

[coarse leaf]

What if Hornet ( In Silksong ) Kills TK And becomes the Hollow Knight
Because TK became THK

[marsh ibex]

Same answer I put in lore

we sure don’t make little fake riddles or statuses

[marsh ibex]

She’s not a vessel, she can’t be a hollow knight

[hollow terrace]

Wdym rick roll riddles, I never did that

[wheat sail]

they are probably lurking anyways

[odd plover]

Can anyone send me the link to the silksong edits server?

There is

And it's pretty awesome as far as I remember

I even made a really shitty one

[burnt topaz]

Oh id like to see it too

[uncut citrus]

there is so many things wrong with that i would probably need both hands to count them all

[nimble radish]

I could count it in my head, but I guess I'm just above average intelligence

[burnt topaz]

as in like pictures of sans hands?

[marsh ibex]

@olive bobcat give me link to fake server nerd

[shell yacht]

just blacklist every undertale term

[uncut citrus]

thought about that but no, it wasnt a sans referance, he tlaks about mutant hands instead

[high hedge]

Did Sans have fingers

[uncut citrus]

makes sense

[nimble radish]

he's a skeleton of a human... right?

[upbeat badger]

BRO

[marsh ibex]

nah

[high hedge]

I don’t think he’s a corpse

Credits and table of contents are on page two dingus

Sorry im late

[nimble radish]

you think those are bugs wearing armour, or robots

[digital glen]

[burnt topaz]

bugs wearing armour?

idk they produce silk

[high hedge]

They look like Hornet’s lil robots

[digital glen]

They kinda look like hornets summons that appear in the trailer

silksong “news” today

[high hedge]

Their weapon is cuteness

[marsh ibex]

Omg guys it’s shawty

[kind dove]

this area looks cool

[nimble radish]

my thoughts exactly

[marsh ibex]

Hey shawty

[verbal trench]

what if shawty wasnt like a melody?

[marsh ibex]

sorcery

the power of the sun in the palm of my hand

[verbal trench]

shawty’s like a melody that i hate

You Seem Chill

[marsh ibex]

how can you hate shawty’s melody

it’s in your head

[verbal trench]

maybe the shawty was the friends we made along the melody

[pine tundra]

What do you think? Will we be able to modify our needle in ss?

[marsh ibex]

wdym by that

you mean like nail upgrades

[shell yacht]

dual blade option or +9 looking for that tatanite slab

[verbal trench]

EXPLOSIVE NAIL

[pine tundra]

Yes, but may be in a different way

[marsh ibex]

needle beyblade

giga needle breaker

[kind dove]

incendiary slashes

[verbal trench]

i hope there’s beyblades in silksong. i think that would be funny

[kind dove]

like the one in twilight princess?

[marsh ibex]

zelda canonically has beyblades

Why can’t silksong

[burnt topaz]

which beyblades

[upper panther]

Sure, I hope we can put a saw at the end of the needle

[burnt topaz]

like the one in twilight princess

[verbal trench]

if silksong doesn’t have beyblades i’m not buying it 💯

[thorn grotto]

Just give us a way to bring enemies closer with silk

[vivid belfry]

is this about damage upgrades or tools that modify the needle or some other third thing

[pine tundra]

Both

Apart

[burnt topaz]

I believe so, there are some needles in the HUDs shown in EDGE that were slightly longer than others

[vivid belfry]

honestly, not having any straight up damage upgrades would solve a lot of balance hiccups, and it's not like damage upgrades are strictly NECESSARY for a functional metroidvania, but one-shotting early game enemies is an experience I would miss dearly

[burnt topaz]

"a sharp edge is a sharp edge wilbo"

[high hedge]

Sadges in chat

[burnt topaz]

you didnt hear?

[bleak vessel]

Soo anyone betting on February??

[golden eagle]

for news?

[tame widget]

I was, but not anymore

[bleak vessel]

News, maybe RELEASE DATE

[golden eagle]

march is my guess

for news

[bleak vessel]

How big will it be compared to the first?

[tame widget]

At least 1.5 time bigger

[golden eagle]

wouldn't be surprised if the next news update was a big one

[tame widget]

Maybe even 1.75

[golden eagle]

I notice a lot of indie studios feel the need to release a huge update when there's a long hiatus

[tame widget]

their update is so long they've been preparing it since end December

Yes you're right.
1.7

[bleak vessel]

I feel like the battle tactics will be so fast

[ebon sierra]

True but they will probably try to make it bigger and better then hollow kngibt

[torn ravine]

I feel like SS is going to be like 25% bigger, considering what you just said.

[uncut citrus]

Noooooo you did it later than usual, just logged off discord now like 45min late

Anyways grappling pog

[heavy mason]

Graymoor is gona be the biggest thing ever

[cerulean sable]

also adding my 2 cents from yesterday about a guy claiming the game is still far off because his friend who plays in the adelaide orchestra and told him that "theyre still recording music like for the judge" is BS considering a blogpost from TC said theyre already done with 30 tracks way way back then

[feral falcon]

Wait, didn't the Deep Docks had music inplemented in the silksong demo? Because he said that the deep docks music hadn't even been made

[cerulean sable]

well its more of an ambience

it was like low industrial humming + with chimes here and there

honestly doubt that an early area like that wouldnt have its music done by now

and a lot of tracks in HK are focused on ambience like the waterways/sewers

[torpid badge]

deepnest BGM

[cerulean sable]

oh and deepnest

[bleak vessel]

Hearing Bonebottom and Dirtmouth, any preference?

[cerulean sable]

BB

[feral falcon]

It could be a music made just for the demo, as a way to not spoil the soundtrack, but at the same time, as you said, it's not smart to not have early game soundtrack already made, because, It's early game afterall

[sullen trail]

I think this will be a hard comparison cause Silksong will have more towns than 1

[burnt topaz]

Why would they make a fake ost for the game?

[cerulean sable]

the sound design is more underrated unlike the music, after all the games ive played the one thing i almost always notice is that either the sound is inconsistent or the sound doesnt exist at all

[feral falcon]

Not fake, but some kind of work in progress idk

[cerulean sable]

Ender Lilies had this problem IMO where killing enemies regardless of size would make this weak "splurt" sound

[torpid badge]

like placeholder music?

[feral falcon]

Yeah, that, I forgot the right word

[opaque sigil]

I mean they're presumably coming up with new needed ost as they add things

Add new boss, need new theme

It's not like the soundtrack would be ironed out all at once

[cerulean sable]

i just think the part where the "my friend is part of the orchestra" said that the music for Deep Docks and the Judge hasnt been made yet sounds kinda off

[torpid badge]

huge "my uncle works at nintendo" energy tbh

[bleak vessel]

In the first game, a lot of music was repeated

[opaque sigil]

Not for all bosses

[nimble radish]

for minor bosses, mostly

[cerulean sable]

im not saying theyre not making more stuff to accomodate new areas/bosses/wtv, just that those things they showed last year STILL hasnt gotten anything??

esp deep docks/??

[opaque sigil]

[feral falcon]

In my opinion, maybe Silksong is actually, like, 89%, or even 90% done already, but that's probably my monkey brain trying to cope

[cerulean sable]

yeah, wouldve been more "believable" imo if it said stuff like "oh theyre still making music" yada yada but even then

[opaque sigil]

idk about the specific things, I'm just sayin it wouldn't be weird if the soundtrack was still in production

[shell yacht]

60% at best. then they add more come march

[cerulean sable]

i mean yeah

[torpid badge]

it's, at the very least, 1% done

[uncut citrus]

I would argue 2

[bleak vessel]

Does anyone know what happened besides COVID, that is making Silksong take so long? I read from Team Cherry they announced it after two years of development; which was two years ago

[feral falcon]

Silksong will release unfinished, and then TC will make paid dlc's and 10000 updates, just to finally patch the game

[torpid badge]

idk can't go crazy here with the estimates

[kind dove]

theyve deleted everything so far to start over

[opaque sigil]

What happened is games take time

[cerulean sable]

like despite all the 30 tracks stuff and TOHU being made, i doubt Larkin's job is even over at all, i just dont believe the stuff weve seen back in end 2020 apparently still doesnt have a track??!!?

[shell yacht]

its a team of 4-6 people depending on who you count

[cerulean sable]

no covid didnt do anything

they already said it themselves

[bleak vessel]

That's true

[opaque sigil]

Assuming he was working on things as they were being made and didn't have a backlog, sure

[kind dove]

iirc the pandemic hasnt affected TC that much

[bleak vessel]

Ah okay

[cerulean sable]

theyre so small that the size restriction for groups didnt touch them

[potent sun]

been too long since I’ve monitored the chaos ‘round these parts

so how’s everyone’s mental health ever since silksong didn’t “release soon”

[opaque sigil]

Wouldn’t be surprised if working with a live orchestra made ost production take longer

[heady iron]

wearing mask > more trouble breathing > fatigued more easily > slower walking > more time spent walking to get daily croissant > less time working on silksong

[bleak vessel]

K so question will they update Silksong if there is DLCs or will you have to buy the game multiple times?

[bleak vessel]

[potent sun]

this is Australia we’re talking about do you mean daily vegemite suppliments?

[torpid badge]

Elden Ring and Dying Light are keeping me afloat, plus there's the added resilience from being a Metroid fan

[potent sun]

I mean there’s only one food capable of allowing TC to think up a game such as hk

[feral falcon]

They probably won't do dlcs, because they said that they only did dlcs for Hollow Knight because they didn't implemented everything that they wanted, that's why the dlcs are free, because they are content that would be already in the game, but they didn't had time to put them

[olive bobcat]

Finally, someone with a logical argument

[cerulean sable]

worth imo

might as well go all out with their budget

[stable current]

February 1 my cat (lisa) will be 21 years old

[potent sun]

no way the power to think up zote came from croissants

woah okay that cat is probably older than a fairly substantial chunk of people in here

[shell yacht]

and more behaved

[wheat sail]

Make this server 18+

[shell yacht]

wed go from 160k back to 3k

[wheat sail]

which is a bad thing?

[shell yacht]

and lose like 3 mods

[uncut citrus]

[wheat sail]

Thanos had it right

[uncut citrus]

No need for much mods with so many less ppls, and probably way less % of ppls doing unwanted stuff

[burnt topaz]

losing 3 mods still leaves you with a lot of mods

[cunning geode]

not all mods are equally as active

[shell yacht]

we finally cover all the timezones tho

[cerulean sable]

yeah the timezones are the big thingg

[shell yacht]

having gaps sucked

[wheat sail]

Just take away chatting permissions at certain times

[opaque sigil]

Then just demod the redundancies. Problem solved

[cerulean sable]

thats true

goodbye water

[hollow terrace]

LOL why no mods at this dead of night??? xD

[burnt topaz]

then make this server european only

[shell yacht]

alright im going to bed

• mute 160k

[wheat sail]

yes

less messages going through here also reduces the number of things that can go wrong

[torpid badge]

makes it easier to follow the conversations too

[shell yacht]

no if we all go to bed none of you get to talk

[torpid badge]

exactly, that way, no detail gets added after you leave

[rapid topaz]

gamers have no bed they sleep on their desk

[potent sun]

just exterminate TC and hk, making the server useless and we can all go home

[digital dome]

a bit off-topic but why mods are oranges

[potent sun]

after years of waiting the mods will finally be able to go home to take care of thier own kids instead of being locked here to deal with thousands that act like them

[cunning geode]

because the mod role is orange

the color

[kind dove]

theyre infected

[burnt topaz]

with good vibes

[digital dome]

That’s some deep lore I see

[potent sun]

calcium is important, that’s why

[hollow terrace]

we thought it would be quirky to be orange like the infection

[potent sun]

wait you’re right

my bad

[rapid topaz]

[hollow terrace]

yeah im bullshiting

[cunning geode]

[kind dove]

or because potassium is important

depends how much you like sour tho

[shell yacht]

blood orange >

[potent sun]

I eat oranges specifically for sour personally

[rapid topaz]

blood oranges are decent

[potent sun]

blood oranges are alright too

[burnt topaz]

I eat 15 mandarins at a time during the summer but when theyre out of season they are just so bad but also the only way i can feel joy

[potent sun]

I honestly don’t eat oranges much, I far prefer apples

pineapples are terrifying and would probably stab you if they could walk and had opposable thumbs but they taste sooooooo good

[burnt topaz]

can they stab as fast as I could eat?

[true vine]

this server has taken on a biblical nature

[true vine]

put them in a fridge for a few hours and then the overripe ones become somewhere around high b tier

[marsh ibex]

nah man

fuck watermelons

always f tier

[rapid topaz]

lol

[torpid badge]

actually trolling

[marsh ibex]

Says the watermelon enjoyer

[potent sun]

I feel like this server has gone on for so long we could run actual societal tests about the nature of a desperate and starving populous

[cunning geode]

or we can just let you starve

[alpine zephyr]

I hate covid so much I can’t get to sleep

[uncut citrus]

I mean that works

[potent sun]

except instead of food or money or nationalism it’s just whatever dictator could promise silksong will come sooner under them survives

[rapid topaz]

we just need to don't starve together

[tribal schooner]

Is it a back ache or head fuzziness?

[burnt topaz]

same energy as "Youre the american psycho"

[true vine]

some opinions are wrong.

[marsh ibex]

no

watermelons are awful, I hate them

[true vine]

@ simo unmod them

[alpine zephyr]

Dizzy and head ache Constant feeling of being sick when I’m not

[burnt topaz]

whats your favourite fruit

[alpine zephyr]

None

[tribal schooner]

Sorry friend, I had COVID a couple months ago it was rough put me out for two weeks

[burnt topaz]

bs

[nimble radish]

watermelon is a good flavour, the fruit are terrible because they won't let me have the flavour

[true vine]

that's pretty difficult, actually

I like watermelons a lot, but then again, mangoes are really good and so are mangosteens

I guess I just don't have one

[alpine zephyr]

Nope

[nimble radish]

so much water content

[alpine zephyr]

Rn I only like apple

[rapid topaz]

Strawberries are ok

[true vine]

that's true

eat just a bowl and then you'll be running for the bathroom real quick

[tribal schooner]

I love watermelon but the flavor for hard candy and stuff is usually c tier on my list

[burnt topaz]

yeah watermelons are just too watery

[true vine]

anyone heard of mangosteens at all? I've known of their existence for quite a while but never knew what they were called since a few months ago

[marsh ibex]

you made that up

[true vine]

it's an exotic fruit

[true vine]

it sure does sound like I did, yes

[potent sun]

there’s a restaurant around here that just sells pure watermelon juice and it’s godly

[alpine zephyr]

I like near no fruit rn out of everything i tried only apple

[torpid badge]

what about uglis

[marsh ibex]

There’s no way this is real

[kind dove]

why do they keep garlic inside them

[potent sun]

and I know it’s real becuase it actually tastes like watermelon instead of candy watermelon

[true vine]

it looks really ugly

[potent sun]

becuase candy watermelon tastes nothing like watermelon

[burnt topaz]

they look like a berry from pokemon

[true vine]

like a giant, hard blueberry with maggots inside

[rapid topaz]

Is this giant tho

[potent sun]

they look a bit like a bomb

[true vine]

but trust me it's really good, it's not just really sweet but has this vaguely citrusy, acidic flavor as well

[alpine zephyr]

Oh my lord they do i can’t unsee it

[potent sun]

on the outside I mean

[rapid topaz]

Looks like it's the size of an apple

[true vine]

no it's the size of a medium orange

[burnt topaz]

maybe giant for him

[true vine]

maybe half that size

[torpid badge]

mangosteens are tasty

[true vine]

yoo someone else who tried it

[potent sun]

they look like a mutated lychee on the inside

[rapid topaz]

ah you mean compared to a blueberry

[true vine]

also they're really hard to grow so they're incredibly expensive if you can even find a market selling

[true vine]

or a lychee/orange fusion

[potent sun]

also any lychee fans here

[torpid badge]

I was wracking my brain, but I'm pretty sure I have

[buoyant osprey]

I hope hornet gets more outfits and we see her in a flowing black dress 😌

[true vine]

gothsong

[burnt topaz]

I had juice with lychees and I remember it being alright

[potent sun]

honestly I do love the idea of custom outfits for hornet

[true vine]

acidic but only slightly citrus-esque? just the right level of sweetness?

[alpine zephyr]

Wat is a lychee

[potent sun]

I kinda doubt it but it’s still a nice thought

[torpid badge]

lychee is cool, y'all should try quenepas. I looked it up and they're apparently known as spanish limes

[buoyant osprey]

Yea 😭

[true vine]

when I was little I loved these things

[potent sun]

it looks like a tiny red durian on the outside and is completely white and jello-like on the inside

[rapid topaz]

the good old coconut flavour never disappointed me

[proud vale]

Rip those who don't know what lychees are

[potent sun]

…….aaaaand someone posted a picture

[burnt topaz]

they do look really cool

[alpine zephyr]

Weird looking

[nimble radish]

lychees yum

[rapid topaz]

Lychees are awesome

[cunning geode]

lychee mochi is great

[potent sun]

they’re super good

[alpine zephyr]

Wats a durian

[true vine]

I still do, but just not as much, also if you eat too many at once they cause inflammation in your throat

[marsh ibex]

You wanna know what’s great?

Weed

[true vine]

some people eat dandelions

[buoyant osprey]

Lychee ramune is also pretty good lol

[potent sun]

I agree I rip weeds out of my garden every day and just stick em in my mouth

[true vine]

wow you really need education on your exotic fruits lol /j

[nimble radish]

I mean, it's not a weed if you want it to grow there

[marsh ibex]

not weeds bro

weed

Marijuana

devil’s lettuce

[shell yacht]

[potent sun]

…..that….. was the joke…….

[rapid topaz]

ah yes, the Mint

[marsh ibex]

ligma

[burnt topaz]

inflammation in your throat

[nimble radish]

don't worry
we got it

[rapid topaz]

Super Mintroid

[alpine zephyr]

I don’t like near to 0 fruit so i kinda don’t look much up

[true vine]

these things smell like stinky cheese and I hate them
some people like them though

also they're the size of a coconut with the husk still on which translates to "really really big"

[burnt topaz]

because you clearly havent tried enough then

[potent sun]

they are ridiculously gross

[true vine]

browse some small specific culture based markets and you'll find something weird

[potent sun]

like almost comically so

[alpine zephyr]

I try a new one like sometimes a week

[rapid topaz]

Not even peers ?

[alpine zephyr]

Nope

[potent sun]

god wanted to create a specific fruit to troll us and after a four week development and testing process the durian was formed and hurled at the earth

[alpine zephyr]

Used to like bannanas pears and oranges when I was little but taste buds do change

[true vine]

this picture honestly looks more like jackfruit than durian, which is a fruit that looks exactly the same as durian but smaller

and it's not stinky but it still tastes like a port o potty

[burnt topaz]

pears are pretty nice, theyre like apples but soft and with a pear taste
they arent like apples

[potent sun]

now that I think about it I’ve never tried papaya before

[marsh ibex]

You’re like an apple

[kind dove]

yall know papayas?

[marsh ibex]

cuz you’re sweet

[true vine]

I'm allergic to them despite the fact I really like their taste

[torpid badge]

jackfruits are great for tostones

[true vine]

not a big fan of those

[rapid topaz]

uh yeah I mean pear not peer

[potent sun]

okay but imo grapes are the mvp of fruit

[true vine]

agree to disagree

[potent sun]

good grapes are easy S tier

[rapid topaz]

Depends on the grapes

[potent sun]

Grapes can get pretty bad sometimes

[cerulean sable]

pimpillo

[burnt topaz]

I developed a lot of fruit allergies a couple years back, cant have apples and pears and such anymore
mandarins are all go though so

[true vine]

I like the crunch of green grapes, but they're nowhere near as good as again, the mangosteen

[potent sun]

but the right ones are nearly perfect
