[cerulean sable]

im sorry

[coarse leaf]

how would said tool work

[opaque sigil]

Lifeblood really does a number on Hornet

[coarse leaf]

how would it generate consciousness exactly?

[cerulean sable]

hornet turns into a redditor

[radiant wraith]

Spoon tool, which allows Hornet to scoop ice cream

[hollow terrace]

I will now send elden ring late game screenshots to your dms

so it begins

silksong really isnt real

[radiant wraith]

Silksong will be renamed to Silk & Music because of trademark issues

[woven fulcrum]

silk & musical notes that are pleasant to the ear

[lone lichen]

[proud vale]

Imagine thinking Silksong won't release

[lone lichen]

imagine thinking

this post brought to you by vessel gang

[woven fulcrum]

what do you guys think about the new quest system in silksong?

[languid linden]

New quest system
Learned about it like 2 years ago
Haven't thought about it in months

It seems cool

[radiant wraith]

They seem like hints is all

[languid linden]

I hope that there also some quests that are like the ones in HK

[radiant wraith]

No RPG stuff

[topaz narwhal]

I hope they don't do that thing where half the quests are "go to place and kill five dudes, then return"

[split tide]

I doubt it’ll have that grindy flavour

[radiant wraith]

"Mow Grumplebug's lawn"

[gilded adder]

This was confirmed in Edge. There will be organic quests like the ones in HK in SS, just that they're adding more formalized quests in addition to that.

[woven fulcrum]

I really hope it doesn't turn out like ubisoft's side content design

go get this thing, now come back and get reward

[radiant wraith]

"Fetch 10 strawberries for Rinda"

[crystal vector]

? Quests in hollow knight? There is like flower quest and.... and?

[gilded adder]

This was also mentioned in the Silksong reveal post. The quests will twist and turn in exciting ways, to paraphrase TC.

[topaz narwhal]

as long as the old quests stay I think i'm okay with the new ones being meh

[woven fulcrum]

grubs?

[sly summit]

not really interested

[crystal vector]

Is that really a quest though?

[languid linden]

I'm blanking rn but I know there's more

Colosseum kinda?

[sly summit]

I mean, for me Grimm troupe quest or grubfather quest give me 0 rewards, at least the grimm troupe gave me a cool bossfight but nothing more

[gilded adder]

Zote quest, Millibee quest, Cloth quest, to name a few.

[crystal vector]

There are things to do but not really anything I would consider a quest, except flower which is quite clearly one

[sly summit]

So I am not rlly interested

[crystal vector]

How are they quests?

[gilded adder]

You follow a series of tasks, go places, do things. That's what a quest is at the end of the day. A mini-storyline that evolves and changes based on what the player does.

[crystal vector]

Okay I mean yes technically they can count (I just looked up definitions) but they seem different from what I consider a quest in a normal rpg for some reason

[gilded adder]

Well, HK isn't an RPG. It's a Metroidvania.

[sly summit]

Idk, I have 0 faith in the quest system atm, I mean, probably I will love them but its not at all something I am interested on

[crystal vector]

I mean you are role playing the knight soo

[glacial hedge]

“It’s a platformer”

[gilded adder]

That's semantics though

[glacial hedge]

I guess Mario kart is an rpg

[crystal vector]

It seems like just more direction, so instead of just finding things like in hollow knight, someone would tell you to go there

[sly summit]

The thing is... (I am not a game designer so this is not a problem that I know how to solve, but there goes my worries) I dont wanna get a quest of "raid this place in where u already have been but the thing is that now that u push that button that says "accept quest" now there are new enemies" or things like this

[glacial hedge]

I hope the quest system is just like Legends Arceus
Refuses to elaborate further
Leaves
-Me

[sly summit]

thats exactly the thing I dont want, Starbound is a huuuuuuuuuge game with infinite worlds, its meant to be Terraria but 10 times huge, but the game CONSTANTLY forces u to go to places in order to advance in the story and... Thats part of lots of its negative reviews

I mean, there might be a balance, but man, even the grimm troupe quest was a bit annoying to me... mostly because in the point of the game where I did it

and I repeat, I got 0 rewards from any quest of Hollow Knight more than the cool bossfight that its NKG, but at the same time I dont want rewards because I dont wanna follow a path, I wanna get lost CONSTANTLY

thats my problem with quests in any game tho

[cerulean sable]

Hornet our

our shitty MooBug ranch is dying, please locate and get us at least 20 cattle then come back to us

Then aftewards i need 20 different Bearbug asses so kill at least 20 until you get some for us

[crystal vector]

I hope the quests just functions as more things to do and that's it

[tawdry valley]

The quest system looks like a way to write down “hey could you do me a favor ()” text bubbles and that’s it.

[cerulean sable]

i love the quests in starbound

its literally go to 6 different planets and scan at least 10+ mundane items, go back, beat a premade dungeon, rinse and repeat

[tawdry valley]

It’s not like you’re gonna have a floating waypoint on the minimap for every NPC interaction.

[sly summit]

okay but thats boring (FOR ME), I dont feel like I am doing a quest, I feel like casually I picked up 20 cattles and I gave it to some random dude

[topaz narwhal]

the grandhunt quests sound like they may involve new bossfights

[sly summit]

Yeah but... I dont like the "rinse and repeat", I got every starbound avchievement, that implies collecting every item in the fucking game, and God... that was annoying as hell

[radiant wraith]

I so want to talk about Starbound

[crystal vector]

My only understanding of starbound is "space terraria" lol

[sly summit]

also, sorry if my words arent the best to expressing my opinion and I love to hear ur opinions and how u see my way to see the quests, because I dont really like hating everything xD

[crystal vector]

I dont mind getting lost, but how lost one is is a spectrum, and being too lost starts to become not fun

[gilded adder]

I remember playing Starbound back when it was a thing, have no idea how it turned out or where it is now.

[radiant wraith]

Starbound is... weird. It's bad really bad, but at the same time the whole concept is gold. Would have been so great with 30 years of development

[sly summit]

thats too much work... If TC is doing that, claps for them, but my childhood based on doing linear af quest make me seem a good quest system impossible

[crystal vector]

30 years? Jesus christ

[formal karma]

That's a name I've not heard since.....

[radiant wraith]

There's also the fact that I think Starbound has the best soundtrack ever made. Ever.

[crystal vector]

Thats almost as long as silksongs development time

[sly summit]

Starbound is THE ONLY game that I bought just for its soundtrack

[radiant wraith]

It's an ambitious but great concept, you cannot rush it

[gilded adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR7fwMM5ccc&ab_channel=Bill383

[sly summit]

and I am not... fuck idk english... I dont regret my... choice

[sly summit]

OMFG THIS IS THE FIRST THEME I LISTENED FROM STARBOUND AND THE ONE THAT MADE ME BUY THE GAME

[radiant wraith]

Not the best example I think, sorry. But good too

[cerulean sable]

1.5 hours into Silksong and its already

Hunters Journal:
The Pale Conspiracy - Talk to these 3 people across Pharloom
The Last Hunter - Help Baston and his hunting business by getting 25 Moss Pelt
Sherma's Done it Again! - Help Sherma find 3 Cymbals
The Fall of Pharloom - These cultists are getting really aggressive, scare them of by killing 5 Cultist Guards, 3 Cultist Scouts and 1 Cultist Reaver
Highwaybug Hustle - The Caravan cant proceed with these highway men blocking the way, destroy 4 of their camps to draw out their captain and confront them.
The Missing Jewelry - Alysia of Bonebottom is missing her priced necklace, help her find it by investigating the locals (locals youve talked to: 0/4)

[formal karma]

Lolwut

[radiant wraith]

But tracks like Mercury, Hymn to The Stars, Blue Straggler

[gilded adder]

This is like the only track I remember

[radiant wraith]

it is good but it's not what made me call it the best soundtrack of all time

Of course that's just my opinion

[sly summit]

all of them seems boring to me, but lets see the one that seems to me the best: Highwaybug Hustle, I would love that... (I HAVENT PLAYED ELDEN RING OR INVESTIGATED MUCH OF THE GAME BUT) I would love that it was like ER, that U find a caravan naturally and it.... does things of a caravan... and u can raid it... or in this case u might help it... but I would like it like a event that sometimes is there and seems natural

not something that starts happening once I press a button that says "follow quest"

[cerulean sable]

my favorite quest style is honestly the investigation type of shit and Disco Elysium showed me that (since the entire game is being a detective) because youre constantly gaining an effort of finding what happened with minimal guidance instead of having the game do it for you

[cerulean sable]

Rando events are interesting and well see if it works out on something like HK

[sly summit]

My pc cant run disco elysium and I wanna play it so much :(

[cerulean sable]

loading times are slow yeah

[hollow sedge]

what are you smoking

[wind edge]

I prefer quest that give instructions, otherwise I am hella lost

[cerulean sable]

MMO style quests within the hour of playing

[sly summit]

I prefer being lost, not a quest

[wind edge]

😟

[gilded adder]

I prefer quests that are quests in that you are questing with the quests.

[cerulean sable]

Yes Joe, I wanna help your farm
No Joe, I am not willing to kill 20 respawning bears all over your farm on repeat

[sly summit]

but its cool to read ur opinions, its really interesting, for much that I hate doing the grimm troupe quest as a concept, the world of hk is so well made that I didnt really care about doing it and I enjoyed it, maybe not as much as discovering new things, but I liked it

[gilded adder]

I'm interested to see what TC mean by the quests "twisting and turning in exciting ways"

[sly summit]

twisting and turning in exciting ways xDDDDDDDD

[radiant wraith]

Maybe they are not what they seem at first glance

[topaz narwhal]

what if some of them change halfway through? so you go to a place to do one thing and end up doing another

[crystal vector]

My main problem with the grim quest was the flame collection, no matter when in the game you do it its out of the way and annoying

[sly summit]

yeah, that was my main problem, but thats the thing, the world of hk its so beatiful that I still enjoyed a little bit doing it

[cerulean sable]

Disco Elysium is really good unfortunately, youre often given a lead and it rarely tells you what exactly to do, so you end up trying to talk to anyone who MIGHT have a single clue of whats happening

A problem ive seen in most detective style quests in other games is that:
Ok the killer might be in this area, go here, and talk to the leader, the leader will then give you like 4-5 spots in the map that you just need to use the process of elimination

Meanwhile in DE, i get told to go to this area, (and thats it), at the added risk that the people will be lying to my face to either protect someone or their own interest

[radiant wraith]

Or you can't see how big and complicated they are when you start

[sly summit]

graig will be reading this and telling to TC "OH NO WE GOTTA REWORK ALL THE QUEST SYSTEM AGAIN" and delay it 3 more years

[crystal vector]

Also if you wanted the good charm (carefree) you had to give up on the nkg fight, and grimchild was such a bad charm

[cerulean sable]

honestly as long as the quest dont feel like padding i dont really care

[coarse leaf]

That's really good considering that Graig is a playtester!

[cerulean sable]

the issue is IMO too is that people tends to have this completionist mindset, seeing these sidequest feels like they HAVE to finish and clear them all out

then the game throws a fuckton of it to you until you burn out

[sly summit]

at the same time my brain is so bad, the only time I solved a puzzle was a forager one but was because it required knowing binary and I know it, but my dumb brain cannot get the true ending of any game by itself or solve even the most simple riddle

[cerulean sable]

then comes the "i enjoyed the game more when i ignored the side quest"

[cerulean sable]

Disco Elysium is more of an RPG rather than a puzzle game tho,, so its super enjoyable to either be a super smartass or someone who threatens to beat people if they dont give you info

[crystal vector]

Anyone else absolutely love adventure games (like monkey Island and grim fandango)?

[coarse leaf]

I don't!

I mean, I like Mario Odyssey, but that's a 3D platformer!

[sly summit]

I got tired of writing but this discussion was so interesting, imma eat something, remember to rest and stretch u a little bit and stay well hydrated!

[cerulean sable]

The writing is pretty good too

[sly summit]

[cunning geode]

Brilliant

[coarse leaf]

Speaking of RPGs, I still need to play Earthbound!

[charred zephyr]

i have no idea what anything of this is about but i like phrase 5

[cerulean sable]

basically in Disco Elysium your skills are like these other people in your head

in this case you have enough Rhetoric that that it can understand that the name was implied to be yours

its cool with stuff like,
"No its just that my first instinct is to assume the drunk people are the cops"

Empathy [Medium - SUCCESS]: Dont worry, shes just joking, its mean to be in jest, she doesnt actually say that to every drunk person

[charred zephyr]

So its like your feelings talk witchu or something ?

[cerulean sable]

best part is when your thoughts starts fighting each other

yeah

[charred zephyr]

that sounds cool damn

[cerulean sable]

pretty much

[ocean shuttle]

The guy in TV looks just like queen elizabeth

Or the guy in the photo, whatever that is

[charred zephyr]

thats a lot of them

[cerulean sable]

yeah the skill photos all look pretty cool

[charred zephyr]

yeah the art is really cool damn

[cerulean sable]

i like Half Light because its essentially about being violent, and everytime someone pisses you off the first thing it says in your head is
HalfLight: "Screw this smug fucker, punch him, punch him in the face, NOW! God I want to punch him so much"
Volition: "Dont, actually, do that."

but yeah its a pretty great RPG game, if youre looking for narrative detective stuff without combat

[high hedge]

No skill issue??

[cerulean sable]

i just think in most games, its a standard that YOU HAVE to shoot someone

[high hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/aim-gun-firearm-target-mad-gif-15720643

[cunning geode]

people spend enough time stressing in real life that most video games give them a way to harmlessly blast things away

[cerulean sable]

another cool skill is Espirit De Corps which handles your cop knowledge, so if you dont have enough skill points on it you literally cannot understand cop code like 10-4 or 10-1
so the convo goes like
"Yes sir will copy, 10-4"
"10-4 what now?"
"Yes sir? 10-4?"
"No whats 10-4"
"I dont understand sir, 10-4?"
"Please speak in english, what is '10-4'??"
"Yes sir it means 'over', 10-4"

[silver oak]

it's probably the most famous comedy skit ever

[cerulean sable]

im not boomer enough to remember it tbh 😔

[silver oak]

It is old

[wind edge]

How old? Like 2000s old?

[silver oak]

My parents showed it to me

It's Abbot and Costello, who were 50s-60s I think

[wind edge]

If it was before the 2000s I definitely dont know

[silver oak]

The original clips of it are in black and white so it may have been before that

[wind edge]

Yeah I wasnt even born before the 2000s

[silver oak]

Neither was I

[wind edge]

Is it good?

[uncut citrus]

I am reacting for Nettle who can not right now.

[wind edge]

My parents are from the East so I dont think they know of it

[silver oak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fg

[cerulean sable]

but yeah the game's writing is funny, you can literally both a communist that wants to liquidate the middle class and at the same time be an ultraliberal whos always on "the grind" for "the bread" and being a snob feeling rich guy

[silver oak]

Dated but still kinda funny

[wind edge]

Oh god I forgot how much I hated old TV and the black and white, its sound horrible compared to modern times, but thats just what it was back then

Are there any games that give you unrestricted freedom? Like minecraft and possbily GTA

[silver oak]

sandbox games are a huge genre

well
a pretty big genre

[silver oak]

There was a girl playing it in my english class yesterday

[wind edge]

Does it take a lot of effort? I dont have much time thanks to school

[serene chasm]

Like 2-5 hours of free time a day

[silver oak]

I haven't seen it in a while but it's actually still really funny

[wind edge]

yikes, I cant dedicate myself if it does take it

reviews are good though

[serene chasm]

Stardew? Doesnt take any effort. There is no rush for anything.

[sour lake]

i mean that's the type of game that you can play at your own pace, no?

taking a break isn't going to kill you

Why don’t you say “** WHATS UP GAMERS**”

[serene chasm]

using "human" makes you sound like a robot or alien trying to fit in.

gamers is cringe

humans sounds more... idk, but at the same time sorry if I assume u all are humans

DOES THE LIGHT GO DOWN FOR YOU
CUZ THE LIGHT GOES DOWN FOR ME

[serene chasm]

yes

[sly summit]

hey recently I discovered an indie game that seems pretty cool

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1030300/Hollow_Knight_Silksong/

Steam

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Become the Princess KnightPlay as Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, and adventure through a whole new kingdom ruled by silk and song! Captured and brought to this unfamiliar world, Hornet must battle foes and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.Hollow Knight: Silksong is the epic sequel to Hollow K...

Release Date

TBA

▶ Play video

I wonder when it releases

[wind edge]

whats that

[woven fulcrum]

the protagonist looks a lot like hornet from hollow knight

[serene chasm]

Indie games are lame. real games only play games like apex and cod. games the take SKILL. something you dont have

[sly summit]

wdym, its like flying nosk

[woven fulcrum]

true gamers aren't allowed to have fun playing those games, only sweat

[sly summit]

okay imma do a tier list that only speak the truth, wait me a moment

[woven fulcrum]

hot take: silksong is a game

[austere hare]

nah we all know silksong is going to be an anime

[serene chasm]

Will it be as good as cory in the house?

[woven fulcrum]

I'd watch a Hollow Knight anime unironically

[sly summit]

left is better, everything above D is good af (in resume all the fruits that I ranked)

[woven fulcrum]

yes I'm a weeb, pathetic

[sly summit]

I AM A MAD SCIENTIST!

[proud vale]

Tf why is melon so low

[austere hare]

watermelons suck
fight me

[sly summit]

FINALLY A RATIONAL HUMAN

[proud vale]

I'm glad Orange is fairly high though

[serene chasm]

watermelon is so good.

[woven fulcrum]

put the grapes on s tier

[austere hare]

i dislike fruits in general but watermelon in particular

[serene chasm]

yall are eating shitty melons

[sly summit]

everything in B or above I normally say "hmmm, I wanna eat this fruit"

[lone lichen]

b tier: orange, strawberry
unable to digest: everything else

[proud vale]

F

[austere hare]

eh watermelon tastes like you're eating a sponge soaked in sugar water and then put in the freezer for a week

[serene chasm]

seriously that is the worst tier list ever

[lone lichen]

you're welcome

[austere hare]

unfortunately i cannot eat strawberries because i am allergic

[dim summit]

why dont i see coconut in S

[serene chasm]

Hell yeah. tasty sugar sponge

[sly summit]

the tier list didnt had coconut, lemons nor tomatos, etc, but coconuts would have been in S or top A

[serene chasm]

only downside of watermelon is that it makes you have to piss something crazy after you eat a bunch

[dim summit]

:D

[austere hare]

also the seeds are really annoying

even the ones where the seeds are white

[serene chasm]

is coconut a fruit

[austere hare]

yeah obviously

[olive bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/auby-omori-aubrey-aubrey-omori-watermelon-gif-22017540

[sly summit]

of course is a fruit

fruit is defined as... it has its seeds inside I believe

or itself is a seed

[serene chasm]

Fruit is an edible thing around the seed

I thought the coconut is the seed

[digital glen]

Watermelon is very good, btw heres an unrelated video https://youtu.be/lTxn2BuqyzU

[austere hare]

no those are nuts

[uncut citrus]

Who needs sleep anyways

[sly summit]

oh didnt know

[uncut citrus]

||(I do)||

[austere hare]

you know how sleep is for the weak
well i am the weak

[patent shoal]

i love watermelon

[serene chasm]

based

[digital glen]

https://tenor.com/view/watermelon-kerby-watermelon-kerby-gif-23259892

[patent shoal]

its delicious

[austere hare]

honestly i don't like fruits that are just sweet and nothing else

[uncut citrus]

Watermelon is good- oh shoot here’s Cathy telling me I need to sleep cya

[austere hare]

at least cantaloupe/honeydew/whatever has a slight bite of savoriness to it

[patent shoal]

watermelons have flavor too >:(

[austere hare]

if there is then i can't taste it

[patent shoal]

skiss-

[serene chasm]

I fucking love sweet things. So fruits are the best IMO. sweeter the better.

[austere hare]

fun fact i have a low density of taste buds

[patent shoal]

strawberries are my favorite food

[true vine]

I hate dessert and my only reason I live is savory things

[serene chasm]

strawberries are so good. especially fresh ones from the garden.

[patent shoal]

do you think celeste strawberries taste good

[serene chasm]

I will just eat your dessert.

[true vine]

they're probably made of rubies and no one likes that since rubies aren't edible unless you try hard enough

[digital glen]

I feel like strawbarries are good, but everything with strawbarrie artificial taste is ok if not bad

[austere hare]

i cannot comment on strawberries because i am allergic

[serene chasm]

anything articial is bad

[patent shoal]

depends

[true vine]

there's this type of cucumber, I don't know what it's called in english since I've only heard the chinese name that directly translates to "white cucumber", it's so much better than anything you can buy
it's sweeter, larger, crunchier
I hate store bought cucumbers now

[true vine]

nature doesn't give a shit about your feelings, it doesn't care if things taste good or not or if they kill you, what's good is just you getting lucky

artificial is designed to be consumed by humans, and there's nothing wrong with it unless whoever made it is a sadist and put cyanide or coal in it but that's usually not the case

[digital glen]

Im not too much of a sweet and dessert guy, but fruits are just so good

[austere hare]

um the chinese name for cucumber is "yellow melon"
so it would be "white yellow melon"?

[true vine]

correct

[austere hare]

lmao

[true vine]

白黄瓜
"white" "yellow" "melon"
but really it's
"white" "cucumber"

[true vine]

anyway, natural is just a bad marketing tag

as is organic
what tf is "organic salt"

[austere hare]

salt literally cannot be organic

[serene chasm]

Technically nothing we eat that is natural is natural. We've bred all our fruits and veggies into what we want them to be. I was more talking about flavours. The real thing will always taste better

[true vine]

it drives me up a wall

[austere hare]

it doesn't even contain carbon

[true vine]

in that case you're right

[austere hare]

just searched it up on google and apparently it's "pure sodium chloride without any additives like iodine or anti-caking agents"

[tawdry valley]

We have been robbed of gmo flavors

[digital glen]

Theres no jabuticaba outside of south america?

[true vine]

also another bad marketing tag that makes me want to rip out my hair

"no chemicals"
shut up karen you're made of chemicals and we're unfortunate you exist at all

[tawdry valley]

People think that genetically modified = bad
But it’s literally “we can make this tomato 2 times tastier, bigger, and make it need less water”

“But it won’t sell well in Whole Foods, so don’t do that”

[trim estuary]

garrys mod omogus

[serene chasm]

never heard of those, but they look yummy. send me some

[true vine]

sodium explodes on contact with water very very violently and is poisonous I think
if you breathe in any chloride it will rip up your lungs and you will die painfully
but then mix them together and you get table salt

chemistry is weird

[patent shoal]

actually no, fruit evolved to taste good so birds would eat it and shit the seeds somewhere to spread them

although the foods we have now are vastly different from anything "natural" due to gmos and selective breeding

although evolution is a game of luck

[tawdry valley]

Ingest rat poison

[trim estuary]

arigth brb

[austere hare]

"let's genetically modify a tomato so that it can protect itself against pests"
"nah it won't sell well"
"ah well let's just continue spraying literal tons of pesticides all over the plants then"

[true vine]

I know that

regardless it doesn't give a shit about your feelings, it's only doing what's best for itself and if that also has a side product of being good for you, then great you got lucky

[marsh geode]

im gonna go offline for 6,492 years when i come back silksong wont be released

[patent shoal]

true

[coarse leaf]

Yes.

[austere hare]

ionic bonding

[true vine]

also there's nothing wrong with gmos as long as you don't allow them to spread into the wild

[patent shoal]

i agree

[true vine]

there's one electron in table salt between you and probably imploding

[austere hare]

yep

[harsh forum]

Lol death

[patent shoal]

i imagine it would be more painful than imploding actually

[serene chasm]

chilis be like "im gonna burn anyone who eats me unless they are a certain animal" and we be like "yes! i love the burn"

[austere hare]

"this is some serious gourmet shit" - humans

[vivid belfry]

working as intended, anything we farm is winning the game of life

[patent shoal]

it would probably tear apart your internal organs very painfully

[austere hare]

apparently humans evolved spice tolerance because we needed to use spices to preserve foods back in the ancient days before refrigerators

[true vine]

chilis are the masochism fruit

[patent shoal]

i did not get that gene, clearly

[true vine]

ouch

[austere hare]

ouch

[true vine]

literally and figuratively

[austere hare]

i have like crazy levels of spice tolerance for some reason

[serene chasm]

You can build up a tolerance to it.

[true vine]

I have decent spice tolerance, I quite enjoy it if it's the right amount
but I have completely unfair levels of mint spice tolerance, I can eat extremely "spicy" mint and genuinely enjoy it, even go for a few more rounds

[patent shoal]

no thanks

[true vine]

start off with bell peppers and work your way up to satan's toe

we believe in you

[serene chasm]

screw that. jump in the deep end. ghost peppers

[austere hare]

also mint chip best ice cream
fight me

[patent shoal]

bell peppers taste gross

[serene chasm]

mint choc is C tier

[austere hare]

that's a weird way to spell ss tier

[true vine]

go away

[elfin swift]

there's also the theory that peppers evolved spiciness/capsaicin primarily to deal with mold and insects, not mammals

[serene chasm]

maybe B tier. maybe. depends

[true vine]

I eat bell peppers raw and I relish it

[steady raven]

Only the green ones

[serene chasm]

Best ice cream is cookies and cream

[patent shoal]

i am a picky eater let me live smh

[elfin swift]

i mean bell peppers are only as good as the dish you use them in

[true vine]

there's no difference

[austere hare]

based

[true vine]

so am I

[steady raven]

There totally is

[sly summit]

true

[austere hare]

i've genuinely never tasted a difference between the colors of bell peppers

[sly summit]

true

[steady raven]

Red and yellow are pretty similar but green is different

[true vine]

because there is none

[austere hare]

but remember i medically have a low taste bud density so

[sly summit]

I misread

[serene chasm]

Bell peppers are great. chop em up, little bit of oil, salt and pepper, and stick them in the oven for a bit so they get crispy. super good

[austere hare]

i'm fine with bell peppers honestly

i like to eat them but they're not my favorite

[steady raven]

Or just use the blood of gods, also known as "hummus"

[serene chasm]

that works too. but I dont always have hummus around

[true vine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-mWa_GqIEg

[patent shoal]

goodbye i am eating pizza

[sly summit]

left is better

[true vine]

people like hummus?

[sly summit]

hummus is... okay

[true vine]

it's just mystery glue

[tawdry valley]

I’ll fucking end both of you @sly summit @true vine

[sly summit]

who tf are u in first place

[true vine]

hummus is shit now go off to your hummus corner I hope you drown in it

[austere hare]

what even is dinosaur crunch i've never heard of it

[serene chasm]

Id put vanilla and choclate a bit higher. Theyre classics. You really cant go wrong with them

[tawdry valley]

The guy who ate hummus in the place it was invented and not from wholefoods

[true vine]

this pains me much

[serene chasm]

also cookie dough is amazing. At least b tier

[sly summit]

for the color... some people call it gum ice cream, gnome ice cream, unicorn ice cream... no one knows what it is

[true vine]

this is even more painful

[coarse leaf]

This one is better than all of them

[austere hare]

honestly if you give me any ice cream at all i'd probably eat it

[coarse leaf]

Do it!

[true vine]

who decided it was a good idea to make a savory nut into a freaking ice cream flavor

[austere hare]

hey i like it

[tawdry valley]

Your country wouldn’t have a national cuisine even if it could make one

[serene chasm]

Pistachio ice cream is actually pretty good

[coarse leaf]

Sure, now eat Pickles Ice Cream.

[true vine]

bon appitit

[sly summit]

u have almost 50 hours on among us ur opinion has become invalid

[tawdry valley]

When did icecream come in

[austere hare]

i'd actually give it a try no joke

[coarse leaf]

Why?

[true vine]

I agree

[steady raven]

What kind of war criminal puts cookie dough in F

[austere hare]

can't be that bad can it

[tawdry valley]

You deep dove into my profile links to try and get footing in an argument. You lost before you entered the battlefield

[coarse leaf]

Well, take a guess!

[sly summit]

nah I always stalk people

its nothing personal

[coarse leaf]

That's creepy

You know, it's the same thing about hearing texts, you can't do that

[tawdry valley]

I can confirm this is false, on the basis you have not left your chair in 4 days, source: I am living in your attic

[austere hare]

text to speech:

[sly summit]

I can confirm that what I said is true but I would violate the privacy of one of my previous victims

[coarse leaf]

But you're hearing a voice, not a text

[true vine]

I can confirm you are telling lies, source: we are both leth alts

[coarse leaf]

You know, there's a difference between reading a sentence and hearing a sentence

[steady raven]

Leth is just Graig in disguise

[coarse leaf]

Obviously

[true vine]

switch that, graig is just leth in disguise

[tawdry valley]

I’ll grant you this though, hummus anywhere outside of the Middle East is kinda ass. @sly summit @true vine

[coarse leaf]

Nah, everyone in this server are Graig's alts.

[tawdry valley]

At least in comparison to the real thing

[austere hare]

false, i am leth's alt

[coarse leaf]

Which is also known as "Graig"

[true vine]

I'm not in the middle east so I can't judge

[tawdry valley]

Like what the fuck is this supposed to be:

[coarse leaf]

Probably chocolate but it's bad

[silver oak]

Not hummus

[serene chasm]

thats a dip. not hummus

[sly summit]

uuuuh imma do the best tier list of my life, wait me a few minutes

[silver oak]

It's only made by a hummus company

[coarse leaf]

We should have a food tier list at some point

[true vine]

idk that looks pretty good

[silver oak]

Cookies n Cream is good placement
Everything else is shit

[sly summit]

noooo there doesnt seem to be one made of the thing I wanna do

[coarse leaf]

Also, how tf is Coffee Ice Cream better than Chocolate & Vanilla Ice Cream?

[sly summit]

chocolate and vanilla icecream are so bad

[serene chasm]

regional food tier list time. go

[coarse leaf]

That is a lie and you know that!

[sly summit]

anyways, as I didnt found the tier list I wanna made, hear me out

[coarse leaf]

For me, Vanilla is basically between high-b or low-a

[true vine]

best pizza chain, go

[silver oak]

The pizza in my town

There's another one in a different town so technically it's a chain

[tawdry valley]

Hummus is a dip.
They call this garbage hummus.

[sly summit]

Every chocolate that its not chocolate with milk is TRASH, white chocolate? TRASH, chocolate with orange? TRASH, chocolate 99.99999999999% cacao? TRASH. Every single one is trash

[true vine]

ledos pizza

it's a local chain that makes the best pizza ever

[gilded adder]

Hummus isn't traditional a dip but it can be.

[coarse leaf]

Chocolate Ice Cream has milk tho

[sly summit]

nutella? TRASH

[silver oak]

Better question: best burger chain

[tawdry valley]

What do you want me to do. Not notice the chocolate paste in the garlic+chickpea paste aisle?

[patent shoal]

i have returned

[tawdry valley]

I’m not even willing to cross out the idea that this stuff has chickpeas in it

[coarse leaf]

Idk, Cheeseburgers are good

[silver oak]

ye

[coarse leaf]

Uhhh, Burgers made of chicken tho

[austere hare]

shake shack tbh

[silver oak]

FYI the only acceptable answer is Five Guys

[tawdry valley]

Chicken burgers are nice, but it’s a worse burger and a worse chicken based meal

[coarse leaf]

Burger King

[austere hare]

unfortunately there's no five guys where i live

[serene chasm]

Five guys is pretty good.

[silver oak]

live somewhere better

[tawdry valley]

I’d rather have a nice grilled chicken breast recipe or a beef patty burger than a chicken burger

[gilded adder]

Super Duper

[lone lichen]

it has chickpeas
i got it once back before i developed ibs and it was good

[coarse leaf]

Honestly, yeah, it's not bad, but it's not the best option to enjoy the ingredients either

[tawdry valley]

Unholy

[silver oak]

bay area?

[coarse leaf]

Best pizza chain tho

[lone lichen]

the delicious taste of sin

[gilded adder]

Yup

[tawdry valley]

The standard hummus here isn’t even that good. It’s like twice as fattening for half as good taste

[austere hare]

am i the only one who doesn't like pizza that much

[silver oak]

I'm narrowing down on your identity jonny

[coarse leaf]

Probably

[gilded adder]

You'll never catch me alive!

[true vine]

I am a jonny alt

[silver oak]

So far I got
-Name Jonathan
-Lives in Bay Area

[true vine]

can confirm I am scared

[tawdry valley]

There are better options to diet on and better options to indulge on

[coarse leaf]

Also, it's just funny how nobody here seems to hate pizza

[tawdry valley]

Hummus is by default fatty as shit. You’re only meant to eat like, 1-2 spoons a day until you’re arguably over the recommended limit

Just hand me a chocolate bar at that point

[silver oak]

Googling "jonathan bay area" was not helpful

Must collect more data

[true vine]

interesting fact, americans ruined pizza! Pizza is a single person entree that isn't cut, it looks more homemade and uneven and delicious and not made in a factory, but Americans are stupid so we drowned it in oil and invented circular knives on sticks to cut the thing that's not supposed to be cut

[coarse leaf]

Also, also, Lasagna or Pizza?

[austere hare]

lasagna

[serene chasm]

is this a good size of spoon?

[true vine]

depends on the quality of both
then again there's a garfield comic where he puts a slice of lasagna between two slices of pizza so I guess that would me my choice

[silver oak]

Bad lasagna is more common than bad pizza but good lasagna is better than good pizza

[tawdry valley]

Yeah that’s approximately how much of it I eat

[coarse leaf]

But the chances of you getting a good lasagna is about 10%

[austere hare]

pancakes, waffles, or french toast

[coarse leaf]

I am from the future and am on day 74,865,592,074 of waiting for silksong, I'm starting to think it doesn't exist, just like the ps5 and GTA 6

[serene chasm]

waffles, pancakes, french toast in that order. all are great

[tawdry valley]

Waffles>pancakes.
Good French toast is better than the best waffle.

[coarse leaf]

Toast Sandwiches

[lone lichen]

hummus would still be an improvement if i could digest it
nowadays i just put too much cheese on everything

[silver oak]

This is the truest sentence anyone has uttered in this chat

[coarse leaf]

You're one of those people who puts cheese on coffee, right?

[tawdry valley]

Rip.

[austere hare]

french toast can be either really good or really bad

[coarse leaf]

I never really liked toast, so I've got no opinions on that!

[tawdry valley]

You don’t know what French toast is do you

[lone lichen]

one of my meds also gives me munchies

[coarse leaf]

Take a guess!

[tawdry valley]

Why cheese though? I’d figure with ibs you’d avoid it

[lone lichen]

lactase supplements

[tawdry valley]

I… Already guessed that you didn’t know what French toast is

[austere hare]

this chat has turned into food-discussion

and i have no problems with that

[tawdry valley]

Cry about it, Grimm pfp(derogatory)

[coarse leaf]

Good

[lone lichen]

also cheddar/mozza/parm are lower in lactose

[coarse leaf]

Also, there's a tier list for cheese?

[tawdry valley]

Blue cheese is inedible raw and god teir melted on a dish.
I will die on this hill

[coarse leaf]

Meh, idk

[serene chasm]

Cheese tier list
S- yes

[silver oak]

Dude
It's- dude
It's so good

[austere hare]

hey can we share a communal grave

[vivid belfry]

cheese tier list
S- failed champion spell stunlock

[coarse leaf]

But I just don't like it

[tawdry valley]

If you hate blue cheese melted into pasta sauce or like eating blue cheese raw; you are a tasteless goblin and deserve the untimely death that’s coming

[coarse leaf]

It's the same thing with popcorn, really

[silver oak]

No Hollow Knight

[tawdry valley]

On the blue cheese hill, sure

[coarse leaf]

For some reason, I hate popcorn

[vivid belfry]

I like french toast but I can't eat sugar in the morning

I'm olt

[tawdry valley]

Don’t use syrup. I personally never got that part

[lone lichen]

regularly eat dinner leftovers for breakfast ama

[coarse leaf]

But really, can we agree that Mussarela > Cheddar?

[tawdry valley]

Like yeah it’s awesome but too much sugar for too little

[tawdry valley]

Depends on the context.

[lone lichen]

fighting words

[silver oak]

Yo same
Idk why

[gilded adder]

All cheese is good cheese imo

[vivid belfry]

I mean if I'm gonna have eggs and toast together in one meal, I'll just have eggs and toast

[coarse leaf]

Blue cheese tho

[vivid belfry]

I made a fuggin omelet for breakfast this morning, with chopped onions and bell peppers and shit

[silver oak]

Don't think I've had it but I doubt it's really that bad.

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH

[tawdry valley]

Mozzarella with tomatoes and balsamic 🤤
Cheddar grilled on a sandwich or mixed into a cheese fondue 🤤

[austere hare]

cheese is great in general

[tawdry valley]

It’s not that hard to fucking cook shit

[coarse leaf]

But it's easy to mess up things!

[warm bone]

I've never had fondue but I feel like it would be too much cheese

[tawdry valley]

Best cheese is objectively burrata anyways

[silver oak]

You didn't even say anything

[lone lichen]

i'm fine with cooking but i hate doing dishes

[austere hare]

i had fondue once and then it dripped onto my best shirt and i never ate it again

[cerulean sable]

good

[tawdry valley]

I ate a truffle burrata with tomatoes once and I’ve been hopelessly chasing that high ever since

[gilded adder]

That's what he wants you to think

[silver oak]

[coarse leaf]

Ok, but Mussarela may be more useful in more recipes than Cheddar

[tawdry valley]

Life becomes meaningless and food becomes tasteless when you eat a good burrata and then have to eat to survive

[lone lichen]

have to cook most stuff myself because 99% of convenient options are a one-way ticket to 60+ minute painful bathroom trips

[tawdry valley]

@coarse leaf based on your last two messages, you just suck at cooking throwing shit into a pile and then heating it up

Worst case scenario you just learn how to cook soup

[silver oak]

Wait a minute
What happened to your Sailor Moon cosplay

[coarse leaf]

Nah, I'm honestly kinda good at cooking really, I even make my own pizzas!

[serene chasm]

Which is basically throwing things together and heating them up

[vivid belfry]

I should learn some soup recipes

[tawdry valley]

How to cook soup:
Toss shit in.
Taste the soup.
Too much X?Add everything else.
Not enough Y? Add some more Y.
Repeat until soup is done

[vivid belfry]

all this skillet cooking and micromanaging is annoying

[tawdry valley]

I’m not over exaggerating the simplicity here

[silver oak]

It also probably needs some more salt

[tawdry valley]

You can do the same thing with anything that’s cooked in a pot. Oatmeal; stew, fucking cereal. Whatever

[lone lichen]

how to cook soup:
cook soup
add way too many crackers/goldfish
enjoy

[serene chasm]

I need to make more soup.

[tawdry valley]

exactly
Get a cutting board and pot.
Done.
Live like a medieval pheasant

[coarse leaf]

Also, speaking of cereal, what is the correct way to put milk on cereal?

[lone lichen]

pheasant

[tawdry valley]

Cereal. Then milk.
Anything else is inefficient or deranged

[vivid belfry]

I've got TWO cutting boards

[silver oak]

oyster crackers are the shit

[vivid belfry]

the correct order is cereal -> milk -> cereal

[silver oak]

tf
chat jumped like 6 messages

[tawdry valley]

Get it right the first time grandpa

[serene chasm]

Grover be flexing

[silver oak]

what's the point of putting the milk into the cereal if there's just gonna be more dry cereal over top

[vivid belfry]

well I'm not gonna put my lettuce where my raw chicken was

[silver oak]

That's basically the same as just starting with the milk

[tawdry valley]

Grover knows how to handle raw meat. Grover will live longer than @serene chasm

[vivid belfry]

you put the cereal in after you've exhausted the original cereal supply and have milk left over

[tawdry valley]

That’s just a second bowl of cereal you fat fuck

[warm bone]

less milk to use

[tawdry valley]

Why are you making this sound like logistics

[warm bone]

min maxing cereal

[silver oak]

You want the highest cereal/serving ratio

[lone lichen]

which starting cereal is optimal for my build

[tawdry valley]

Lucky charms don’t give you diabetes but they also don’t taste like bread.

[silver oak]

You can fit the most cheerios into a bowl

[vivid belfry]

incorrect good sir

it's a second third to half a bowl of cereal depending on how my initial proportions shook out

[tawdry valley]

Nobody with a happy marriage eats Cheerios

[lone lichen]

too many points in luck. worthless stat

[silver oak]

what

[vivid belfry]

this is of course also affected by things like cereal density and milk drinkability

[warm bone]

depends if you are going for a taste build, a filling build, or a price efficient build

[coarse leaf]

Ok, so, here's a question:

• If you could just eat 1 food for your whole life, what would it be?

[spice plume]

i could binge all 1000+ episodes of one peice and still not be done when silksong releases

[vivid belfry]

if you're dealing with cereal that doesn't break apart and is sufficiently large, you can just drink the milk

[tawdry valley]

Only the clover marshmallows give luck stats. Everything else is a random stat boost. LC is an A to S teir build for this reason

[silver oak]

Some shake or bar specifically designed to give you all essential nutrients in proportioned manners

[serene chasm]

Sandwiches

[coarse leaf]

But that sounds awful

[silver oak]

Yeah but I wouldn't get super malnutritioned

The question is flawed

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, but who cares?

[silver oak]

Me

[coarse leaf]

You don't

[serene chasm]

That's why sandwiches is the correct answer. You can vary them and they're healthy

[vivid belfry]

well then that's not one food is it

[coarse leaf]

But you can't change the ingredients for the sandwich

[serene chasm]

Boo.

[coarse leaf]

Like, if you want a sandwich with cheese, then you need to eat a sandwich with cheese for your whole life

[silver oak]

Some [sandwich] specifically designed to give you all essential nutrients in proportioned manners

[vivid belfry]

I would choose a salad with lettuce, cucumber, cheddar, tomato, and grilled chicken

[coarse leaf]

That's allowed

[vivid belfry]

reasonably balanced and I never get tired of this shit

[serene chasm]

Ok. I want the biggest sandwich. All he meats and veggies and cheeses. On like a focaccia bun

[silver oak]

You would if it was the only thing you could eat

[coarse leaf]

The problem is that you need to order a food that doesn't take more than 10 minutes to eat

[serene chasm]

Stop adding rules.

[coarse leaf]

Why would I?

[silver oak]

And also the food has to be pepperoni pizza

[coarse leaf]

But that wouldn't be really healthy at all

[silver oak]

[coarse leaf]

But I'm not wrong

[serene chasm]

Shawarma wrap

[coarse leaf]

Who would even eat pizza for breakfest, lunch and dinner?

[serene chasm]

That is my answer

[silver oak]

It's a very bad question

[coarse leaf]

Do you want a better one?

[silver oak]

Yes

[coarse leaf]

So I have two pieces of bread, if I put the jelly on one piece and the peanut butter on the other, and then eat it one by one would I be eating a sandwich?

[gilded adder]

I want Elden Ring for breakfast, lunch and dinner

[split tide]

If you’re eating two slices at once yes

If not then I guess not?

[coarse leaf]

But what if I eat them separately?

[split tide]

Technically you could fold it up and then eat it

[gilded adder]

I guess that would just be called a slice of bread with spread on it or half a sandwich

[split tide]

Assuming no folding though then not really a sandwich

[coarse leaf]

But if I bite one slice and then bite the other one, I would be eating a sandwich, right?

[split tide]

Maybe jelly toast or something

[gilded adder]

I think that just devolves into semantics at that point.

[silver oak]

Is a hotdog a sandwich

[sly summit]

no

[coarse leaf]

Technically yes

[silver oak]

Is cereal soup

[split tide]

Sandwiches aren’t exactly well-defined objects anyways

[silver oak]

Is water wet

[split tide]

Most food isn’t

[coarse leaf]

Probably

[split tide]

Depends on how you define wet

[serene chasm]

water makes things wet, but is not wet itself

[coarse leaf]

I mean, ice is kinda wet?

[tawdry valley]

Yes

[coarse leaf]

But Ice is wet itself

[split tide]

…or is it

[coarse leaf]

It is literally frozen water

And if you try to hold ice, it would wet your hands

So therefore, Ice is wet

[tawdry valley]

If something is said to be wet, that something is being said to have water molecules clinging on to it.
Water molecules cling to themselves, so bodies of water are, by definition, wet.

[split tide]

What exactly do you define as wet though

By DDX’s definition yeah water is wet, as is ice and water vapour

Also includes completely frozen ice as being wet

[tawdry valley]

Water vapor is not clinging to itself. When it clings to itself, it creates a droplet.

[split tide]

It isn’t? Guess I need to review my physics

[tawdry valley]

Water vapor is composed of tiny droplets. Steam is superheated water, and what water looks like in a gaseous form

Unless you were referring to steam.

[split tide]

ah yeah I was thinking of steam

[tawdry valley]

I don’t really know what clouds are

But yeah. Water is wet and ice is wet.

[sly summit]

gn humans

[shell yacht]

nerds

[coarse leaf]

You're literally water

[tawdry valley]

So says the #hk-lore moderator

[sly summit]

PEOPLE TOMORROW IT FINALLY RELEASES

[tawdry valley]

Is powdered water wet

[sly summit]

the cuphead show on netflix

[coarse leaf]

And honestly, I don't even know how water existed for 28,436 years!

[tawdry valley]

Can powdered water theoretically exist?

[sly summit]

yes

[shell yacht]

uhh powdered water is just ice in the sky

[silver oak]

clouds?

[tawdry valley]

What the fuck

[coarse leaf]

Wait, what

[shell yacht]

not that poser bullshit

[tawdry valley]

Oh it’s silica coating

So literally just wet plastic sand

[silver oak]

I assume this means clouds

[shell yacht]

sillica is sillca, water is water and thats clickbait

[shell yacht]

snow

[coarse leaf]

But clouds are wet

[tawdry valley]

Snow powder makes more sense

[silver oak]

[tawdry valley]

So what would dry water be, given the fact that water clinging to itself is defined as being wet

[coarse leaf]

Wait, is snow wet?

[shell yacht]

dry water is impossible

[tawdry valley]

Silica makes water not cling to itself on the basis that the water molecules are clinging to the silica only, but how do you make water cling only to nothing

[silver oak]

dry water would be completely seperated induvidual molecules of water

[tawdry valley]

Lol

[shell yacht]

[coarse leaf]

"Just add water!"

[shell yacht]

but is it fat free

[tawdry valley]

It’s true.

yes, and sugar free!

“Lightweight”

Soda is just water but worse

[tawdry valley]

Okay this is actually a great gag though

[gilded adder]

Tomorrow is a big, big, BIG milestone.

[tawdry valley]

Don’t ask who’s hand it is. I’m assuming it’s mr Google images himself

[tawdry valley]

7 days till elden ring?

[gilded adder]

One week baby yessiiir

[elfin swift]

8 days till elden ring if you're being pendantic

but it's so close

[cerulean sable]

1050ti, you have to go all out, just this once

[cerulean sable]

also nice arts

[tawdry valley]

Me, talking to my 2011 hp laptop, who’s defining feature is it’s backlit keyboard, before I boot up doom eternal

[cerulean sable]

my closest feel to that was playing Kingdom Come Deliverance with my old i5-3330 3.0ghz + 1050ti PC with shitty 8gb 2666~ ram

and that was with windows 10

so you know the amount of work it has to make up for on top of the OS hogging my shit

[mortal mango]

I suspect unique will come back to discord when elden ring releases

[cunning geode]

or he spends more time playing it instead

[cerulean sable]

she only said she needed a break because she has finals iirc and shes been spending too much time online

i miss college

i can go for 60% back then

[mortal mango]

she?

[cinder juniper]

If you take the H from H2O, you only have O

[gilded adder]

I only count in full 24 hour days. The excess hours are negligible in the face of hype.

[warm bone]

almost a week until elden ring

[serene chasm]

Can you believe it. Elder Ring. Just a week away

[warm bone]

@gilded adder the new ui has been leaked

[digital mural]

Silksong!

[gilded adder]

YOOOOOOOOOOOO DM DM DM

[warm bone]

too late, I marked as spoiler tho

[gilded adder]

SLIIIIIIIIIIIIICK

Much, much better than the Network Test

[serene chasm]

what did the network test ui look like?

[warm bone]

very plane

[serene chasm]

it could fly?

[warm bone]

here's the bottom stuff too

[serene chasm]

Oh yeah. That looks like it was made in MS paint

[gilded adder]

Very happy with the new UI. It fits the menus and overall feel and color palette of the game very well.

[warm bone]

also people who got the retail version of elden ring are streaming and recording the full game rn

[gilded adder]

WHAT

[warm bone]

watch out

[gilded adder]

How are they able to play the game this soon?

[warm bone]

you know the pictures of the gamestop people who had the dozens of copies

[gilded adder]

Yea?

[warm bone]

well they surely would not mind one of those disks being misplaced (they stole the disks)

[gilded adder]

[warm bone]

not the people who took the picture but other people

[gilded adder]

Is that how the new UI was leaked?

[warm bone]

yes

got it from here https://twitter.com/manfightdragon/status/1494160876697358340

Lance McDonald (@manfightdragon)

At least one person is just openly streaming the full retail version of Elden Ring on twitch now, they likely are one of the many people who were shipped the disc version early. I won’t be watching but it’s certainly all happening now.

in the comments, this guy is the person who made me aware of it

[gilded adder]

I am so jealous 😡 😡

[elfin swift]

fingers crossed that gamestop fucks up my order and accidentally ships it to me a few days early

[warm bone]

🙏

[gilded adder]

Just checked twitch and there are now at least 2 people seemingly streaming the game. Didn't click on the streams themselves but they're there.

[warm bone]

yeah

[cerulean sable]

im protected by my lacking of elden ring videos i clicked on youtube

[cinder juniper]

Honestly I prefer the network test UI

[cerulean sable]

and because i hate youtube and twitch content anyway

Silksong tho

im gonna fucking die

[gilded adder]

Fair
I watch Twitch because I have some content creators I really like and respect on there but yea.

[cinder juniper]

Silksong is going to have 5 generals as main bosses

[cerulean sable]

also i dreamed about elden ring today

[cinder juniper]

graig told me that

[cerulean sable]

the game starts on my garage which was converted into a swamp level

[gilded adder]

I dream about it every day

[heavy mason]

We’re not just telling stories we’re becoming bread

[warm bone]

that was no dream, it was a premonition

[cerulean sable]

and that the lance animation is literally the one from monster hunter

[cerulean sable]

based??

[cinder juniper]

my dreams are just black, empty voids

[gilded adder]

I day dream. I night dream. I dream dream. All of it.

[cinder juniper]

I'm not joking, they're just that, I just dream black and then I wake up

[heavy mason]

@cerulean sable is kinda bread like

[warm bone]

I close my eyes and then wake up, no dreams

[heavy mason]

A taco shell is made of weat

[gilded adder]

OMG DREAM NO MORE HK REFERENCE!!!!!!

[cinder juniper]

Me too, if it's not those black void dreams, it's that

[heavy mason]

Hmm

[vivid belfry]

actually a lot of taco shells are made of corn

[heavy mason]

Well you can make bread out of corn

[cinder juniper]

aktchually 🤓

[warm bone]

@gilded adder do you know who arlo is?

[vivid belfry]

that is true

[warm bone]

🤓 ☝️

[cerulean sable]

this was literally the entire map in my dream

[vivid belfry]

I'm just saying that corn flour and wheat flour are both used in taco shells

[cerulean sable]

it was a linear game

[cinder juniper]

🤓 👆

[vivid belfry]

or tortillas rather

[gilded adder]

The Nintendo guy with the puppet?

[heavy mason]

I can see what you say breadlord aproves

[gilded adder]

Who wants Pikmin 4?

[cerulean sable]

the artstyle looked like this (this is from Path of Exile) in my dream

[cinder juniper]

There'll be a city in elden ring?

[cerulean sable]

i mean, thats a given right?

[cerulean sable]

are you starting to believe

[cinder juniper]

I haven't seen much of the game tbh

[warm bone]

yeah, guess what game is on top of his most anticipated games of 2022 list https://youtu.be/d7dx5-5cEKs?t=866

[heavy mason]

Hmmm

[cinder juniper]

Anyone here plays for honor?

[cerulean sable]

no silksong on the list

shill

[heavy mason]

For breadhome

[warm bone]

arlo is a notorious sellout for pikmin

[cinder juniper]

I'm tired of you and your bread

[heavy mason]

SHUT fool

[cinder juniper]

i will end you

[gilded adder]

Even Arlo can see the light

[heavy mason]

I will end you

[cinder juniper]

not if I end you first

[heavy mason]

Go to the oven and regret your decisions

[heavy mason]

Never the bread gods will stop you

[warm bone]

I agree with his words "my body will begin to break down, my mind will begin to decay if I don't get my hands on elden ring soon"

[cinder juniper]

I'll poison you with moldy bread

[vivid belfry]

he never finished HK because of soul master

[heavy mason]

We always stop that

[cinder juniper]

What?

[vivid belfry]

fuck

that was a misinput

[heavy mason]

I have to go now

[vivid belfry]

I meant to reply to ttaco asking why arlo isn't hyped for silksong

[heavy mason]

Bye

[cinder juniper]

I don't get people who buy games like HK just to quit to an early game boss

[gilded adder]

SAME

[serene chasm]

who's arlo?

[cinder juniper]

Like, is your will so weak for you to lose to frickin soul master

[warm bone]

very popular nintendo youtuber who had been converted to the enlightened ways of elden ring

[gilded adder]

blue puppet nintendo person who has an unhealthy obsession with pikmin 4

[warm bone]

half mill subs

[serene chasm]

cool

[analog lily]

arlo, i feel like i've heard that name before in a bad place

[warm bone]

well who doesn't

[vivid belfry]

arlo was blacklisted from the muppets because of gamer discrimination

[serene chasm]

they need to git gud. if they cant beat soul master theyre gonna have hard time with ER, I would assume

[warm bone]

elden ring

[analog lily]

meanwhile me who almost quit hollow knight on soul master

[cinder juniper]

bruh if you can't beat soul master and you give up so easily you're gonna have a hard time the whole game

[vivid belfry]

yeah given what I know about dark souls and how much he likes it, I have no fucking clue why he was so upset about the soul sanctum corpse run

[serene chasm]

but you didnt

[analog lily]

yes and that's the important part

wait did this arlo guy quit hk on soul sancctum?

[warm bone]

some games just don't grab people like they can grab you

[cinder juniper]

I discovered God home right after I beated normal radiance

As soon as I saw that I needed to beat PoH for the platinum trophy in PlayStation, it was set

My main goal in the game was that

[analog lily]

well the playstation actually doesn't have all the achivments, which is weird

[cinder juniper]

It doesn't but I completed them anyways

Don't know if Path Of Pain gives an achievement

but I completed it anyways

[analog lily]

PoP gives no achivment even on pc i'm pretty sure

[cinder juniper]

[serene chasm]

lore > achievement

[coarse leaf]

25 days till silksong!

[warm bone]

[tawdry valley]

inb4 Sherma is the Tom Bombadil of the HK Universe

[young saffron]

I hope silksong areas arent all that gloomy :v
like ds3 for example

[warm bone]

well silksong is not post apocalyptic

[serene chasm]

is any area in any ds game not gloomy?

[young saffron]

dont think so

[cerulean sable]

neither Dieselpunk, nor Steampunk

we calling it Silkpunk now

i hate that CP2077 has turned Cyberpunk into Cyberpunk the game rather than Cyberpunk the aesthetic feels bad yhtsi + L + ratio + cope

/srs /nj

[cunning geode]

It’s a shame

I kinda like the ridiculous “-punk” styles because they’re fun when done right

[serene chasm]

I wish they toned down the advertisements. Overall I think the asthetic was pretty cool

[cunning geode]

yeah, lots of good cyberpunk aesthetic art out there (unrelated to the game)

[cerulean sable]

but now type in "Cyberpunk" and what you fucking get it is the game

[serene chasm]

yeah, I can see how that would be annoying

[cunning geode]

One of my favs

By Lorenz Hideyoshi Ruwwe

[cerulean sable]

im still a Dieselpunk fan

underutilized

[cerulean sable]

yeah but it feels like a lot of games never translates the neon art that well

the ones i know at least

maybe not stuff like The Ascent?

[cunning geode]

https://images-ext-2.discordapp.net/external/241glOfzOUAwHf8At8_9jKBGsWqBc1hV46A56PnRzq4/%3F1553767127/https/cdna.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/016/866/256/4k/max-bedulenko-3.jpg

[knotty ether]

Silksong isn't showing up in the Nintendo Switch store at the moment -- https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/hollow-knight-silksong-switch/

[cunning geode]

Max Bedulenko has some great Dieselpunk stuff

[cerulean sable]

Oh i love this

[knotty ether]

That link is linked from https://www.hollowknightsilksong.com/

[cerulean sable]

brb meeting

[knotty ether]

Fingers crossed that maybe the game's page is getting an update?

[serene chasm]

That is very utopian cyberpunk which is cool.

[cunning geode]

He has a collection of pictures like this which are made by taking photos of real people combined with his own art

[cunning geode]

Yeah I collected some of my favorite artwork of a bunch of “-punk” style cities

[sweet bluff]

All the -punks

[cunning geode]

there is a lot of cyberpunk stuff out there but this artwork really showcases how cool it can be

It’s so unreal and fantastical, it’s more than just “super modern city”

Some buildings are hanging down like stalactites

It’s like the inside of a computer

[serene chasm]

yeah, the 2077 version is very toned down in that aspect.

[forest pollen]

Silk not song🥺

[cunning geode]

I think 2077 reached for the stars but came up short due to time constraints

in another world, 2077 could’ve been exactly what it wanted to be

[serene chasm]

yeah. If it wasnt so hyped people would probably not shit on it so hard

I personally enjoyed the game despite everything

[forest pollen]

Dispite the bugs and everything, Cyberpunk is a good game comparing with what we hace nowadays in the industry

[serene chasm]

The new update has it running much better now. Might think of doing another replay, but thats a huge maybe

[cunning geode]

Yeah I’ve heard the story is actually not bad at all

[cerulean sable]

silksong

[cunning geode]

and it’s interesting that Reeves actually had such a defined character that was pivotal to the plot rather than being a mere marketing strategy

Although… I don’t really know much about the plot

anyways yeah, Max Bedulenko for the dieselpunk stuff ttacco

Check him out

[cerulean sable]

aight aight

[coarse leaf]

silksong confirmed for 2077!
just 55 more years!

[cunning geode]

did you hear something

Must’ve been the wind

[knotty ether]

Well, it's not in the Nintendo Switch store at the moment, so maybe they finally cancelled it? 😛

[gilded adder]

I think I heard a rustle or maybe it was a dog barking in the distance.

[coarse leaf]

Don't worry yall it was just a breeze

Might've knocked over a trash can

[coarse leaf]

dw the steam page said june 2019

[cunning geode]

If it pains you then forget about Silksong until it comes out

[coarse leaf]

the hype is keeping me alive

[cunning geode]

sure.

[olive bobcat]

Do something with that hype
