sugonthesenuts

[pearl talon]

damn that bot grabs it so low quality

[wispy stream]

haha gotten

[radiant wraith]

ohohoho oh god

I just remembered something

How could I forget?

Linear transformation composition is not commutative

[rapid topaz]

How could you forget that?

[radiant wraith]

I don't know, but it changes everything

It makes all the difference

Or does it?

[pearl talon]

Hey, VSauce, Michael here

[radiant wraith]

Oh yes it does it does

Fantastic!

[indigo nymph]

soggy pop corn is so underated

[lament lotus]

[rapid topaz]

Oh wait

[rapid topaz]

I thought you were joking but, is this a Unity thing ?

[opaque sigil]

just a math thing

[rapid topaz]

Pretty sure I've seen someone talking about that

Probably just maths yeah

[radiant wraith]

It is of utmost importance for my game

It's about linear transformations after all

[rapid topaz]

What tools are you using ?

Software etc

[radiant wraith]

OpenGL

[rapid topaz]

Nice!

[radiant wraith]

• stb_image which is a library to load textures

[distant crown]

[frosty quest]

Hornet is not void, deal with it bozo.

[distant crown]

I agree

[icy iron]

agree

[frosty quest]

MMC is the hardest boss in SilkSong.

[radiant wraith]

MMC, More Mslug Cats

[digital glen]

the massive enemy moss

[coarse leaf]

So... are they gonna build on the godseeker ending in silksong? Because it be a waste if they didn't

[digital glen]

someone more smart than me can answer this

[potent plover]

well, I don't know how it could connect into pharloom, maybe a reference, hint, or a teaser in the ending?

[digital glen]

there’s probably gonna be very few references from what’s happened in hallownest before Silksong

[potent plover]

and even if they don't, It's not like the entire godseeker ending is completely wasted

[coarse leaf]

It be kind of dumb to have them tease the hollow knight being let lose and not doing anything with it

[potent plover]

oh right, you mean that

[digital glen]

And if there is, it’s probably gonna be very vague

[potent plover]

what would the hollow knight being let loose even mean? not to start a lore discussion

[digital glen]

I don’t think THK will be mentioned at all

[broken merlin]

how u sure

[digital glen]

why they did the godhome ending the wy it is, i have no idea, but it doesn’t seem to tie in to Silksong at all

the truth is, silksong will begin with hornet and thk going for a walk and eating icecream

[potent plover]

as far as I know, Silksong will start all the way away from hallownest and into pharloom, I feel like the hollow knight having a presence in the game is unlikely, but the ending of silksong might be different

[coarse leaf]

||THK is a secret boss||

[digital glen]

||Warrior Bretta is a secret boss*||

actually, a godhome ending continuation would make more sense if Silksong was still a dlc

[cerulean sable]

sorry already went to bed but yeah this is a good choice

[cunning geode]

It’s ok sleep is important for knights

[gritty gull]

Maybe I need to rewatch it but in the Silksong reveal trailer I don’t think Hornet says “SHAW” once, she says everything but that if I am correct

[coarse leaf]

Rewatch the treehouse video and pretend your the one playing silksong

[hazy summit]

Adidah

shaw

troshie kalimo

uhhhhh! le gaele

Git gud!

Garana!

kanalekosa tros

[digital glen]

what’s the nicest sounding “voice” in hk?

[hazy summit]

hakana sekamos

[digital glen]

i like nailsmith and the hunter voices

[hazy summit]

la fenufelino

sorry i was typing Hornet's voice lines

I was about to say Mask maker

he's got a chilling voice

[digital glen]

I don’t remember it’s voice brb

[hazy summit]

nopechuro hmm

i hate Millibelles voice so much

[digital glen]

Oh yeah i like it also

[digital glen]

akala geo

[coarse leaf]

I just hate her for stealing my geo

[digital glen]

Moss Prophet is very goofy, i like it

[hazy summit]

I just realized that the only word that it's written just as it sounds it's "geo"

Most easily recognizable word in bug language

[digital glen]

Yeah that’s weird

[hazy summit]

we all hate her don't we

[hazy summit]

I like her voice, why does she have to die later in the game :(

[crisp drift]

I'll take the free extra geo from Millibelle

[hazy summit]

Yeah, at least Millibelle is a geo source

She's useless otherwise, her bank service is awful
You can only deposit less than 2500 geo wtf

[digital glen]

i hope there’s a quest in SS that initially goes just like millibeles, but at the end, you kill the bug, and you later discover that the bug was robbing to provide food to their kids

[hazy summit]

Why did Team Cherry even made her like that

[crisp drift]

Idk

[hazy summit]

And what happens with the children later?

[digital glen]

you decide...

[crisp drift]

They all ascend into [childname]flies
Like grubberflies

[hazy summit]

between abandoning them or killing them, or taking them to the huntress?

Or you feed their organs to the huntress

[digital glen]

let them starve or end their suffering

[hazy summit]

Huntress best option

[hazy summit]

Spiderflies

[distant crown]

[crisp drift]

Y e s

[digital glen]

Silksong will taker more 3 months to launch because TC will have to add this amazing quest that ss-disc pitched

[distant crown]

mouths?

[hazy summit]

it's all ur fault

[distant crown]

What is that a reference to?

[hazy summit]

mouths to feed

[distant crown]

Yes

[hazy summit]

perukas

[distant crown]

Ok

[hazy summit]

I want to eat Silksong

[digital glen]

It’ll be worth it

[hazy summit]

Silksong: Babysitting DLC

[digital glen]

Hornet will take some nice babysitting tips from her dad

[hazy summit]

the dlc boss is the diaper with poo

[digital glen]

it’s a QTE

[hazy summit]

if you want your children not to need to eat anymore just throw them to the abyss
Follow me for more parenting tips

[hazy summit]

yes

gn
tomorrow there school

i hate schoo

[coarse leaf]

You got to go threw with it, it'll be for the better

[digital glen]

goodnight, i have school tomorrow too but i have no self love to sleep early

[cerulean sable]

ok hear me out

so theres this extremely difficulty Silksong boss fight

but around their arena lies the Spear of the Great Sentinels

then you must equip it and use its ability "The Pale Hunt"

which will kill it in like 10 attacks

[fiery coral]

sounds alright to me

wait extreme difficulty you say

[cerulean sable]

yes like theyre near impossible to kill

unless you use the ability

[digital glen]

they could give a boss an instakill AOE too

[cerulean sable]

i didnt say anything

I CNAT BLEIVE skyrim stil has a shit story

[tulip drift]

Never underestimate Youtube's ability to spoil entire games 2.01 nanonseconds after they come out, thanks to "[game] all bosses hitless" videos with the thumbnail being the final boss

[fiery coral]

I'd like to thank Shirrako for putting the final boss in the thumbnail and spoiling it for me

seriously though c'mon it's not that hard to put a non-spoilery thumbnail

I had another video of final boss + ending recommended to me but the thumbnail was just a picture of an in-game landscape

so I was saved in that instance

[cerulean sable]

shirakko is also a cunt

hes one of those capital g gamers that posts about the fall of video g ames due to politics etc

[digital glen]

the boss in the thumbnail catches more attention and that’s all they care really

[cerulean sable]

at least Gellot only puts like the first boss in the game

well, most of the time

[digital glen]

oh that channel, I definitively seen some of its thumbnails

going to sleep after that one, gn y’all

[lone bough]

I lost bit of my hype after waiting so long and playing other games. I need it back

[coarse leaf]

Does silksong have a release date now?

[serene chasm]

no

[coarse leaf]

Oky

[serene chasm]

love the pfp

[nimble steeple]

ss whenn sigh

[coarse leaf]

Thanks

[serene chasm]

who is sigh and why are you asking them?

[potent plover]

[fleet temple]

damn, look what I found

[coarse leaf]

i'm a masochist, i will force tc to release it in 2024 if they try to release before

[fiery coral]

That aged spectacularly

[fleet temple]

indeed it did

[crisp drift]

We're still in 2022, there's still hope for him

Star Wars IV: A New Hope

[fiery coral]

Also hello Regular Human, been a while I think

[fleet temple]

yes, I left the server for a bit

[crisp drift]

Welcome back

[fleet temple]

yes, I left here because all the release talk got me so depressed that I left
now the question is...
will I regret coming back

[cerulean sable]

silksong will have muskets

silksong MUST have muskets

[fleet temple]

mustkets

[cunning geode]

so does 55

[fiery coral]

Silksong in 55 A.D.

[cerulean sable]

i want Silksong arena duels

PVP silksong

its like ah ero shooter

but it not overwatch

because overwatch fucking sucks

[fleet temple]

wait.. it all makes sense now
silksong will release in 2222

ah, hk22
the 22nd hollow knight game

[fiery coral]

They should've made it yearly

And also release it one year early

like HK23 comes out in 22 and so on

[fleet temple]

yeah, but probably late 91122
early is too optimistic

[fiery coral]

It's completely original I swear

I hope the theft wasn't too

maddening

[fleet temple]

so this means that silksong is going to be an EA sports game

[coarse terrace]

No

[dusk badger]

sprots

[fiery coral]

EA Sprouts

[coarse terrace]

Please no

[dusk badger]

series about a sprout mole commiting tax evasion

[steady sage]

someone make that a meme

[pale oasis]

Silkkkkk

Remember when we said feb 2022

[fleet temple]

I just went back to this chat during tga
we sure said things...

[analog vortex]

Hk 47

[steady sage]

so, we turning HK into an annual franchise, something like assassin's creed?

[elfin badge]

Remember when we said February 2020

[fleet temple]

remember when we said mid 2019

[elfin badge]

Remember when we thought it was a dlc

[fiery coral]

remember when Godhome didn't exist and HK was the perfect Metroidvania

[elfin badge]

Ahhh when people had their sanity

[haughty ingot]

bad take :(

[fiery coral]

[elfin badge]

[rapid onyx]

Don’t most metroidvanias have boss rushes?

[fiery coral]

Are they mandatory for completion in most other metroidvanias as well

And as unforgiving like come on 42 bosses what on earth

[elfin badge]

Are there endings hidden behind them in other Metroidvanias?

It’s still a well designed boss rush it’s just a pain in the ass for completionists

[fleet temple]

at least the really hard stuff like the bindings and radiant mode are not required for completion

[cerulean sable]

metacritic is bad these days

especially the user reviews

a lot of people bomb it for games with wtv controversy theyre having

[elfin badge]

Has hollow knight ever had a major controversy?

[cerulean sable]

best part is if the guy hasnt played it but just gave it a 0/10 worst game ever because a hit youtuber said its a testament why western civilization is falling

[slim nacelle]

i can think of one but it might not be true

[cunning geode]

certain characters not being void

[cerulean sable]

i think the closest "controversy" we got is like

again these are very far stretched

the acknowledgement of fans whos been ignored overall (which may or may not be related to Silksong news) with "They could at least like the fanbase's fanart when they celebrated the anniversary" or some shit

Being silent on the charm glorification being cut

Them not being inspired by Dark Souls though other people think thats bullshit due to a lot of "similarities" etc

again very very very stretched """"controversies""""

but well see, they havent pulled and Ori director yet

[cunning geode]

mmm, yeah these are good ones

the dark souls one is pretty obscure but youre absolutely right

[fleet temple]

yeah, that's very streatched

[cunning geode]

i dont get why some people wanna die on that hill

"it has to be inspired by dark souls"

like, yeah, i see the similarities too, but

no it doesnt

[fleet temple]

I guess you could also say stuff like TGA or the june 12th as people complaining about "deserving news" or something

[slim nacelle]

[cunning geode]

i would say "Deserving news" is the biggest controversy

[elfin badge]

We’ve never had something to the likes of overwatch having more serious controversies

[cunning geode]

chalk it up to young and impatient fanbase

[elfin badge]

Kids these days

[cerulean sable]

im still on the part that i wish they would acknowledge the stuff that came on the anniversary

[fleet temple]

mainly people who are used to having games released dates as soon as they are announced

[cerulean sable]

not news exactly

but to celebrate even the dedicated fanbase this game has popped of

[elfin badge]

Did everyone see the curses animatic?

[cerulean sable]

i know it sounds like "we deserve some recognition" and i dont wanna sound like that

[fleet temple]

no, I get what you mean

[cerulean sable]

but like, id personally reach out a thank you to the fans for how long theyre still dedicated despite how long the game has been out

[cunning geode]

mhm

that would be nice

[slim nacelle]

and theres still new players flowing in

[cerulean sable]

yeah like anthony fantano

[elfin badge]

We probably got a lot from r/place

Especially when teaming up with elden ring

[slim nacelle]

i got the game a month ago after wanting it 2 years ago

[slim nacelle]

yeah

[fleet temple]

and also I do think that the "we deserve news" thing is dumb but I understand that some people just want to know that TC are still working on it

[elfin badge]

Is anyone else just waiting for the moment where we get to play silksong and get that same feeling when we played hk for the first time, I’m gonna savor it as much as I can

[coarse leaf]

the feeling i got from playing hk for the first time is probably gonna be much different for me

i didn't even know what a metroidvania or shit was, barely had any experience in combat/challenge-based games and it was my first game i tried after Yet Another Year of playing the same game too much

[slim nacelle]

i got spoiled for hollow knight but i can play a blind silksong playthrough

[elfin badge]

Is it worth putting in the time and trying to beat p5 or should I just be happy with 112%

[fiery coral]

If you're fine with not having the trophy/achievement for it and haven't yet gone for it of your own volition, then I'd say just don't bother

[uncut citrus]

You should just be happy with whatever, but go for p5 if you feel like it

[elfin badge]

I was going for it I just lost motivation

[fiery coral]

Quite fair

[elfin badge]

Maybe I’ll go for it sometime next month

[kind dove]

yes

[coarse leaf]

which ac costs 120

[uncut citrus]

It’s gonna cost between 15-25$

(Source: trust me bro)

[slim nacelle]

trust bro ive beaten false knight

[hexed crow]

If silksong really does live up to the hype I would gladly pay 60$ for it

And I'm not even buying elden ring BCS 60$ too expensive

[coarse leaf]

Wouldnt silksong be free on release🙏 🙏 🙏

Right?

Cuz im broke ash google better be telling the truth

[fleet temple]

I'm pretty sure it's free for people who backed the first game

[fervent forge]

@cerulean sable m8, i tryed 5 time to get the body off of the tree and had to lvl up the skill to max and even drank aclool and wear cloths to help and got the bonuses from the smeeling thing and the kid and still didnt pass 88% 2 time in a row, and now i cant lvl the skill anymore, what do :'(((

[cerulean sable]

uhh

[lament lotus]

what is this context

[cerulean sable]

for that honestly i wouldnt mind save scumming

70% is free IMO

[fiery coral]

...that's quite a message to read out of context

[fervent forge]

too late i kinda went and did other things until i get a though that allow me to lvl it more

[cerulean sable]

thats fine yeah

honestly you cant get softlocked

[fervent forge]

aight, hopefully next day i can do something about it but the trashtalking from the ppl about the bdy is kinda fun so

[cerulean sable]

i hated those 2 kids until you talk more to them

i like how they make fun of you call you shit on a certain action but your empathy allows you to read and realize that theyre not mocking you, infact thats just their way of cheering

its like getting a homerun while your friends scream "keep it up you goddamn idiot"

[fervent forge]

ye

ill play some more tonight, hopefully i can get the body off

[cerulean sable]

what build did you go with btw?

[fervent forge]

3333

and volition as the frst skill

so far i've passed most checks, idk why i've had garbage luck with the one for the body i even have +3 with the other non staats bonuses

[dusty nimbus]

The one that describes my loneliness ;-;

[cerulean sable]

volition is my favorite

its basically the skill that goes "stop it with this bs nonsense, youre a detective, act like it"

Hold yourself together. Keep your Morale up.

Cool for: Sane People, Well-Adjusted Cops, The Non-Suicidal

Volition urges you to be a good guy – to others and to yourself. It enables you to resist temptation: be it in a bottle, between a pair of legs, or at the end of an iron barrel which promises oblivion. Volition gives you the will to finish the investigation, improving your Morale – one of the two health pools in the game.

At high levels, Volition makes you hyper-sane. When you’re about to get funky, it keeps you normal. It’s a bit of a party-pooper. At low levels, however, you’ll have little Morale. Without it, you’ll be profoundly unstable cop, falling apart at the seams as you make irreversible mistakes.

I love the official description

[potent plover]

hi
what

[uncut citrus]

Hi
Yes

[dusty nimbus]

Hi
;-;

[uncut citrus]

:grubhug:

[potent plover]

what happened to grubhug??!

[uncut citrus]

Gone, reduced to atoms...

[potent plover]

[dusty nimbus]

[uncut citrus]

You were a good emote, one of the best...

[dusty nimbus]

Instead of gruhug we have this shit

Let it sink in

[potent plover]

[dusty nimbus]

Amogus < Grubhug

[zealous topaz]

[fervent forge]

tbh i picked it cos i liked the art lol

[cerulean sable]

fair fair

but if you wanna play the "boring cop" role then its one of the more prioritized skills

because skillwise its the king of occam's razor

[fiery coral]

@cerulean sable what is The Final Cut

is it DLC

[cerulean sable]

its basically Voidheart Edition

sooo

"""Definitive Edition"""

its essentially THE major update

its also the update that added 100% voice acting

[fiery coral]

alrighty

you are tempting me to buy it honestly

but

I must resist

[cerulean sable]

back then it would go like

Text: "God I like hotdogs. Theyre not as good as hamburgers though, but theyre still really good. Actually come to think of it fries are better"

Voice Actor: "God I like hotdogs"

[fiery coral]

won't buy any new games until I've finished my current one 🥴

[cerulean sable]

Definitive edition added full voice acting that it now says the entire line

that INCLUDES the narrator

sometimes in the original version, the wont even have a voice acting, so it was like 5% of it being snippets

but yeah now its 100% every single fucking line is voice acted

and this is a text based game

I hate John Skyrim

[fiery coral]

his cousins Gerald Whicher and John Elden will come and get you

[cerulean sable]

seriously though its a great detective game and the dialogue can be hilarious at times

only undertale-likes can do that

its a roleplaying game where you are detective who has forgotten everything even the world he lives in and is now pitted with apparently solving a case while your internal monologues (skills) dictates you ranging from solving the case (Volition) or forgetting about all of that and instead devote your entire life to becoming a monk based on alcohol and drugs (Electro Chemistry)

that and you have different personalities + ideologies

[fiery coral]

becoming a monk based on alcohol and drugs
Electrochemistry

[cerulean sable]

and yes, you can both play as a full on communist who wants to invest in the ""hustle""

[fiery coral]

[sweet lotus]

hello, fellow Silksong anticipators!

Disco Elysium is one of my very favorite games

[cerulean sable]

yeah Electro Chemistry is essentially the skill you want if you wanna get into vices like smoking, drinking and drugs

usually it pops up randomly during conversations like a an addiction

checking a cupboard for evidence? most likely with with EC, hell randomly pop in and say:
Electro Chemistry - Forget about the evidence man, look at those painkillers, analgesics. Can give you wild highs. You should pocket it. Now.

[lament lotus]

theres really alot of stuff to talk about in silksong

[pseudo briar]

any chance that ss is coming out in may

[lament lotus]

1 in 7.4 trillion

[untold stream]

was Disco Elysium the real Silksong this whole time?

[plush pendant]

I'd say around 20%

[fleet temple]

who knows

[plush pendant]

I really want it to release close to my Birthday (29th of June)

Then I have something to celebrate with at least

[native ivy]

silksong is never coming out

[plush pendant]

[fleet temple]

yes, yes very funny and original

[pseudo briar]

I AM IN PAIN

if it doesnt release by june im going to eat obama

[coarse leaf]

what the hell did i get into just opened this channel and first thing i see is i will eat obama

[pseudo briar]

[cerulean sable]

Lace: "Ooo little spider... Maybe Ill skewer you here right now and end your suffering~~"

Authority: How dare she, did she just attempt to threaten you?
Half-Light: Kill her, kill her now and push that stupid guillotine headed bitch down the lava.
Rhetoric: No this must've been a mistake! Violence is never the answer. Try explaining the situation to her instead. Who are were the people that kidnapped you?
Hand To Eye Coordination: Gonna agree with the other guy, It'll be easier to kick her down the lava pit.

[crisp drift]

can't believe a mod in maincord just leaked a part of the game
Shame on you! Shame on your family! Shame on your cow!

[steel bloom]

when is the E3?

[radiant wraith]

It's not

[steel bloom]

oh its cancelled?

[radiant wraith]

I believe so

[hollow sundial]

it happens to line up with the release of silksong

[steel bloom]

ffs

[radiant wraith]

Least sad thing I've ever heard

[hollow sundial]

maybe some hope for Gamescom

[radiant wraith]

[hollow sundial]

very unlikely but its happening September in like germany or something

EDGE was bri'ish so not exactly impossible for TC to do silksong news on european countries

i should set up a circus

[radiant wraith]

Unnecessary

Your pfp speaks for itself

[wooden quest]

ahhhh silksong

[fleet temple]

correct

[silver oak]

the ghost of metroidvanias past

[hollow smelt]

hehe hope

a feeble mindset at this point

Instead hope for something that has a release date! Like the zariman warframe update

[fallow apex]

Is warframe actually even fun, the only thing i Heard about it was that it’s hours upon hours of grinding

[cerulean sable]

you grind the game to get an item that you can use to grind even more

so the grind is the game

[fallow apex]

Sounds painful

[dusty nimbus]

Why channel dead?

[inner bloom]

Fine I’ll keep a few, if possible (definitely keeping elderA)

[small goblet]

No.

I shall keep elderC, but not elderZ (which is a diffrent one from the hk-cord one, show them, Cathy)

[silver oak]

[coarse leaf]

yes

i am bad at celeste ok no bullying

[silver oak]

It's okay
I have 7 but I don't play any mods

[quartz yew]

Hi

What do you guys think the citadel would look like? I thought it'd be pristine white type of place, but that would make it look too much like pk's castle

[coarse leaf]

i think that

but thats just my humbe opinion and i could be wrong

[quartz yew]

Good point

[silver oak]

[quartz yew]

[distant crown]

[coarse leaf]

oh and also maybe ** **

[copper nest]

[quartz yew]

[distant crown]

hola

[quartz yew]

Seth and the voice seeing Hornet pull up without equiping the Hunter's crest.

[distant crown]

That’s me whenever you all are offline

[coarse leaf]

you have cat ears?

[distant crown]

Seth or leth?

[distant crown]

No

[quartz yew]

Shit I wrote leth by accident

[distant crown]

And you have to get my permission to put them on my pfp

[quartz yew]

Listening to soul sanctum's soundtrack rn. Do you guys think the scholarly suite that the last judge is at may also have something disturbing going on?

[distant crown]

YES

Also we don’t know if the judge is part of the scholarly suite but it could be the case

[quartz yew]

The last judge was also crying black tears. I just have this really bad feeling that it's actually suffering or something is going on in that place.

[distant crown]

Maybe people think it’s rust or void for some reason

[plush pendant]

Probably just some cosmetics

[uncut citrus]

its pretty obvious its tears

[sinful flare]

tears????? isaac reference????????????

i didnt read upper side of chat and this is what came first into my mind

[distant crown]

Yes

[quartz yew]

I don't really want the void to return in ss, but I wonder if to combat song or whatever plague is haunting the place, the scholarly suite decided to turn to the void to study it and use it to their advantage, only to go mad from it and possibly trapped themselves in that place.

But that sounds a bit too much like what happened with soul sanctum and their use of soul.

[distant crown]

CITY OF TEARS

[distant crown]

I never want void to be in ss at all it’s going to ruin the story and make it feel repeated

[untold stream]

depends how they use it mb

[distant crown]

True

[quartz yew]

Yeah I agree with you. That's why I'm not entirely on board with that idea, but the idea that they may have used void to help combat whatever is messing things up is interesting.

Also the descriptions and the way the bugs are designed for that place makes me think me think of the library of babel

[distant crown]

Yeah

Hmm

[merry bridge]

If void is ever mentioned i think it will be only just extra vague lore text in a tablet. Nothing more then that

[distant crown]

Yes

[quartz yew]

Agreed

[digital glen]

i like the idea that Silksong will try to be it’s own thing, and not only “hk2”. It’s way more interesting to explore a new land with new mysteries, I don’t find interesting seeing let’s thk back or void

[quartz yew]

Btw I just wanna ask before posting a question, but were the weavers descended from a higher being? Like they're not children of one but their origins trace back to one. I remembered someone telling me that Herrah is not a weaver and thus did not have the whole magical silk thing going on.

[distant crown]

Pharloom’s gonna have its own story

[chrome imp]

I'm probably in the minority, but them referring back to the void or TK would help tie the worlds together. Pharloom will be wildly different in a multitude of ways, but I want TC to find a way to connect the two games besides just "Hornet. Bugs."

I don't want to feel like Hornet got isekai'd.

[distant crown]

Fun fact: moss grotto isn’t in Pharloom

Just wanted to bring that up

[quartz yew]

I did once shared an idea that lemm was from pharloom and the lookalike we saw in the trailer was a relative. They'd talk about their son that opened a shop in a faraway kingdom selling relics.

[opaque sigil]

they don't look anything alike though

[copper nest]

lemm?

[chrome imp]

I think DS3 feels wildly different from DS1 for instance, but you can see the old Firelink Shrine if you're attentive, as well as go to Anor Londo. This helps make it feel like even though a lot of time has passed, and they are different games, they are clearly from the same world and one influenced the other.

[chrome imp]

See, that would be really cool.

Something to that effect I would like.

[digital glen]

I think the visual similarities between them is just how they draw that bug

[cerulean sable]

see r/hollowknight thread about whats the one thing they hope to see in Silksong and most of them are recurring characters/the knight or going back to Hallownest

[opaque sigil]

cringe

[cerulean sable]

they do them but i dont really like the idea of forcing Hallownest back in here again personally

i reminded of this one guy who once said

its like going from america to another country, only for you to dine in mcdonalds

[copper nest]

Thing is, it would also force TC to make a 'true' ending of HK to do that if you go back to Hallownest or delve into the lore of it in SS to tie the games together like that

[chrome imp]

That's a little extreme, I agree. I would love a flashback with small Hornet in the Weaver's Den, but not really more than that.

[wary copper]

the whole point is that you're not in hallownest nowhere near

[quartz yew]

I don't really want any characters from hk to return. I'm ok with mentions but I don't want them to return. TC said that silksong was going to be made that players who did not play the first game can still enjoy it, so this doesn't make sense.

[woven tapir]

Is silk song prequel or sequel

[wary copper]

dammit half the newcomers are broken records

[quartz yew]

Dunno. Most likely a prequel but that doesn't really matter in the end.

[cerulean sable]

yeah my favorite of a sequel is seeing a WHOLE NEW world, and i think its a detriment to force a Hallownest appearance just because they know its gonna appeal to fans

[woven tapir]

Facts

[chrome imp]

They can still enjoy it if there are recurring characters. I played DS3 before DS1, had no idea who Andre or Patches or Siegmeyer/Siegward were before but it still became my favorite game. Idk why you're implying it would detract from a new player's experience

[uncut citrus]

Way more proofs says its a sequel, though we cant be 100% sure yet, its a fairly safe assumption to make

[sinful flare]

yeah im disappointed that the newcomers are stupid vinyl records that dont even function at all

[fresh turtle]

that doesn't make sense tbh. A character from a previous game doesn't ruin experience. Especially when only some hk characters have even seen hornet. I didn't read an encyclopedia because I didn't know who red in pokemon was lmao

[still owl]

Here’s the thing: because it’s a new location, it would be strange for reoccurring characters to appear (other than Mr Mushroom)
Like….pure coincidence? 🤔

It works in DS3s case because it’s the same area, just ahead in the future.

[quartz yew]

Hm. I see my mistake then. I think it's just more of a personal opinion that I don't want Hallownest to be part of pharloom. A mentiom about a faraway kingdom to help build a connection between them, but no more than thar.

[copper nest]

To have reoccurring characters in SS you'd have to give them a reason to leave Hallownest

And even then, lore wise it needs to be explained how Hornet can do that since of the whole leaving the kingdom will get rid of your sentience/memory of Hallownest thing

[cerulean sable]

if they have a reason to show up on pharloom yes i can dive with that

[chrome imp]

DS3 was an example of how to tie worlds together, not that SS should do it the same way.

[cerulean sable]

but if suddenly 80% of the cast shows up again just because, well yeah thats just stupid

[still owl]

Though that being said I’d kill for a HK game built upon Hallownest DS3 style

[chrome imp]

I fully agree with that

[quartz yew]

You know what? Same. A character or two is fine. Just not like half the cast.

[chrome imp]

Same

[shrewd summit]

||well, Bretta and Cloth do both canonically leave hallownest||

[woven tapir]

I would like the lost kin to show up in ss they didn’t really do much with his character

[quartz yew]

Imagine bretta returns

[chrome imp]

Yeah no, just one or two is perfect.

[copper nest]

||Well, Cloth is she doesn't get killed. But that would make TC to have a canonical right choice to include her.||

[cerulean sable]

also as much as possible i dont wanna see what happened to the knight after, maybe a flashback to when she met it again in the fountain, but imo the Knight's story is over and id rather keep it concluded instead of "noo theyre not done yethes actualy turned into the omega abyss fucker of the dark abyss and hes coming towards pharlom and hornet must stop them aydayday yad"

[uncut citrus]

(is this a joke? or do you mean as a prequel???)

[chrome imp]

...what

[fresh turtle]

Some characters who aren't from hollownest wouldn't be effected. Like conifer and iselda, while they may not go to pharloom they would definitely leave hallowmest after finishing the map

[copper nest]

True true

[shrewd summit]

yes, i think it would make a lot more sense if ss was a prequel, then we would even have a chance to meet cloth without her being there forcing a canonical right choice in hk

[chrome imp]

I think SS would be much better and would make more sense as a prequel, but

[quartz yew]

I did once make a really sad idea that there's a secretr room where a shadow that looks like the knight appears, and you loose control of hornet as she bolts towards it befroe stopping as it's revealed its just a rock or a plant that creates a figure of it, and Hornet just says nothing as a small piano melody of the HK theme plays.

[still owl]

Oh god okay here we go again

[copper nest]

Only way for it to work as a prequel is to have Hornet at the end loose a lot of the stuff we got in the game or leave it all behind to explain fighting her in HK. And also loosing power.

[still owl]

care to explain why it would work better as a prequel?

[chrome imp]

That sounds awesome.

[cerulean sable]

for me i feel like hornet isnt so emotionally invested in the knight to care for it like a little brother

thats just how i see it at least

[opaque sigil]

She acknowledges it as her sibling, at least

[cerulean sable]

its more of a "these are my somewhat poor siblings tainted by the abyss, sad perhaps yet desperate as it is"

[opaque sigil]

ofc her primary interest is in the service it can provide

[shrewd summit]

oh yea, also that

[copper nest]

And for me, Hornet seems to have her emotions steeled and controlled. I don't think she'd let her emotions show or get the better of her that easily but that's just me

[chrome imp]

No, the timelines don't need to be that close together

[quartz yew]

Well we can see her getting somewhat attached to it as she goes from calling it a Ghost to "Little ghost" which is more endearing.

[still owl]

Agreed with carefree

[opaque sigil]

they would need to be overlapping

weavers just recently left deepnest by the time HK starts

[fresh turtle]

Hornet cares more for her dead mother than her sibling that does a ridiculous amount of work to save everyone in hallownest

[chrome imp]

Honestly not really feeling it, but in a nutshell, it would shed more light on her character and motivations, fill plot holes and the ending of HK would stay vague without it feeling irrelevant.

[quartz yew]

It's subtle though. Perhaps she never wanted to get close to the knight in fear of what could happen when she looses it.

[opaque sigil]

HK ending is irrelevant to Pharloom

[copper nest]

How I see it, is that TC might leave it ambiguous if it's a prequel or not and not touch on HK

[fresh turtle]

Team cherry could just pull a fnaf and undo things they said

[still owl]

Yeah, either way TC is never going to follow up HK’s endings due to their policy on “all endings canon”

[chrome imp]

But it isn't irrelevant to Hornet. That's the problem. You can't tell me she doesn't care what happened to her homeland when she tried so hard to protect it. And that's not even gonna affect her in any way? It doesn't make sense.

[cerulean sable]

thats how i see it at least, she sees the entire event of the vessels to be tragic, but something to emotionally get destroyed about like learning about your past and discovering that it was all your fault, thus you end up creating this bubble in your mind to escape it in order to go back to the good old days and pretend that nothing bad ever happened but it is something that you must eventually face as the visions keep non stop haunting you, telling you that you must forgive yourself and move on

[quartz yew]

But in the end she did grow a little bit of affection for it, which resulted in her calling Ghost "Little ghost"

[merry bridge]

What sort of fear if you dont mind me asking?

[fresh turtle]

What are y'all even talking about rn

[cerulean sable]

You can backread tbh

[quartz yew]

She already lost her mother and I assume she fears of grieving over another lost loved one.

[chrome imp]

Silksong. Weird, I know. We don't do it a lot here.

[opaque sigil]

Unless she decides to stop and do an exposition dump about a totally irrelevant kingdom for zero reason whatsoever, it wouldn't make a difference

[merry bridge]

I see

[copper nest]

Agreed, to make it a sequel they can't touch on the endings and so Hornet won't lament in any way but it'll also open questions if stuff like the ||sealed siblings|| is the wrong ending and all that

[chrome imp]

I mean, there isn't just one way to go about it.

[chrome imp]

Another reason why SS as a sequel would be questionable

[copper nest]

Exactly, I feel it might be a prequel or at least prequel to the same timeframe as HK or just before the game starts

[still owl]

Well, there is no “wrong ending” of course as all endings can be followed up on

[opaque sigil]

Weaver (and by extension Pharloomian) techniques may have been implemented in creating the seal on the black egg, and seal breaking techniques or methods have already been established

[chrome imp]

That's exactly the problem with the Sealed Siblings ending

[still owl]

And before you respond with sealed siblings, reminder that the cultist bugs can break seals with the same bugs used to break the cage seal in SS’ intro

[chrome imp]

Now that's a cool idea. I like that.

[silver oak]

Can someone who knows lore explain why Silksong can follow sealed siblings

[opaque sigil]

Egg would also automatically open after Rad breaks out, but that would take a while

[silver oak]

Wait Tammo's already on it, thanks

[copper nest]

But wouldn't the cage be a different kind of seal than the one on the egg? The egg is contained with a dreamer seal.

[quartz yew]

Bug that freed hornet from her cave could possibly also break her out of the egg

[still owl]

Not sure exactly what you mean by “different seal” as both are seals.

[silver oak]

No I mean I understand it but other people are better at explaining

[cerulean sable]

because Hornet manages to release herself by doing a double spin to a vertical flip finish before slamming down, creating an explosion which will delay into another AOE before jumping away to throw pin needles at you for trying to heal

[thorny siren]

Tunnel under the egg and grab hornet is my personal theory

[distant crown]

hi shalun

[still owl]

Hey

[silver oak]

WAIT I FORGOT THERE'S AN EVENT ON A GAME I WAS PLAYING.

[silver oak]

hey unique

[quartz yew]

BRB

[sinful flare]

omg is that unqnue.......

[copper nest]

I see more a connection with the cage seal as to the chains holding up THK. The ones we could destroy with the nail.

The egg is held by the dreamers and as we see in Sealed Siblings, Hornet becomes a dreamer within the egg to contain it.

Which would be different than the chains.

[sinful flare]

wtf why are the elderbugs capturing grub

[opaque sigil]

doesn't mean that a seal breaker wouldn't work

[silver oak]

ask unuque

[obsidian juniper]

Hi unique how are you doing?

[silver oak]

more emotes required

[opaque sigil]

PK also notably had weavers making/designing seals for him (demonstrated by the incomplete SoB in weaver's den) so the captive weavers in Pharloom could've been forced or otherwise coerced to tell the caste how to undo them

[sinful flare]

how is unqnue doing......

FUCKING THANK YOU

[small goblet]

i'm only in volcano manor so ig i haven't fought a lot of bosses then

[cerulean sable]

there has not been a single good giant boss in any from games

[chrome imp]

As someone who soloed ||Radahn|| in a robe, I summoned for ||Fire Giant||. Couldn't be assed. I just saw him and noped out.

[cerulean sable]

only game that does it right is Monster Hunter imo (no i have not played Shadow of the Colossus and i dont want to stfu i only play real game like 16 different versions of FIFA)

[chrome imp]

Except for Yhorm agreed. Wish he wasn't a ||gimmick|| boss.

[cerulean sable]

ye

[small goblet]

f*fa 🤮

His camera is horrible and you have to get so close and can't see any of his attacks. He also glitched a bunch and was stuck rolling or would hit me with invisible attacks

nah they shouldnt change it you as a player just needs to adapt

[coarse leaf]

yeah but have you considered adapting

[chrome imp]

Fucking baffling that of all the things they improved, it wasn't this?? Who made Fire Giant, had it playtested and was like "yup, perfect!"??

[rapid topaz]

nah they shouldnt change it you as a player just needs to adapt

[young crown]

did you try getting gud

[cerulean sable]

if i wait for you outside your house and beat your legs with a bunch of hammers and i say "maybe you shouldnt have just walked outside of your house lol" how would you feel?

[coarse leaf]

beat the game blindfolded as practice, maybe

[fresh turtle]

From usually be on it wtf were they doing
And godskin duo holy shit
I just used rot breath

[young crown]

atleast the song was nice

[coarse leaf]

savestate and not walk outside ez

Farum Azula gotta be the worst area in the game along with the haligtree

another thing to complain about her, nice

imagine not saving every 10 seconds and before you choose a weird af option in dialogue
this post was made by paranoid gang

[fresh turtle]

I attacked her several times over several attempts and did no damage
Literally

[opaque sigil]

I don't save scum unless a game crashes, then until the end of time I will save every 30 seconds

[coarse leaf]

save scumming is fine if youre not against another player imo

[chrome imp]

Godskin duo is like... ugh. Idk, haven't gotten past first phase yet, my only problem is the sheer fucking damage the noble does. The assassin doesn't do jack shit thank god, but I still think I will summon because honestly I just don't care. I love hard bosses, I absolutely loved soloing Radahn, but if I'm not having fun, there's 0 point.

[fresh turtle]

She gets away with it by being hot

Rot breath

scarlet rot breath

[cerulean sable]

i literally have 700 total Kingdom Come Deliverance saves, around 300 Battle Brothers saves, New Vegas actually got me with the 1000 save limit, Disco Elysium has around 200-250 saves, Dragon Age is around 300 i think, Total War is around 100-150

[small goblet]

hope you didn't use 700 saving [whatever they are called]

[trim estuary]

oh I’m supposed to still be avoiding Elden ring spoilers adios

[fresh turtle]

I have never used cheese until then but goddamn fire giant, godskin duo, and niall were so bad

[rapid topaz]

I don't see any problems with summons, for me it's just a part of the game, and It's fun to play with them too. I don't want to struggle forever on a single boss

[chrome imp]

I had rot breath suggested by 3 people here.
...I am a frost melee and ranged hybrid with a godskin peeler and 8 or 9 arcane...

[coarse leaf]

slightly different but if debug mod had unlimited savestates id have like 100

[trim estuary]

too bad use rot breath

[small goblet]

uh hornet dies in the best ending of er k bye

[chrome imp]

I really wanted to beat it solo. Yeah, I'm that kind of player...

[fresh turtle]

You only need 12 arcane and a lil faith

[coarse leaf]

batman dies at the end of the game (all endings)

[chrome imp]

Goes against my character fantasy, very cringe.

[rapid topaz]

That's fair tho. I mean, it's up to each players

[fresh turtle]

Wdym

Oh then use the frost glitch
If they get a status as they go second form they instantly die

[small goblet]

frost

[cerulean sable]

its even worst for games like Stalker that lets you name your save files so i end up naming wtv thing pops up in my head

so my save files are like
"get fucked lmfao"
"new loot"
"asdfasdf"
"asdassas"
cannot save game because the name asdfasdf is already used
"bandit got fucked"
"oh shit oh fuck"
"i am in the middle of ur picture"
"lying in the reads"
"DUNN DUNN DUNN DUN"
"i hit u wit da quad damage rail gun"
"i hit u wit da quad damage rail gun 2"
"monoolith more like get fucked"
"Pre save before talking to Solovich"
"Selling my AK DO NOT DELETE"
cannot save game because the name asdfasdf is already used
"creeper aww man"

"I am Malenia"
Blade of miquella btw

[fresh turtle]

No

[small goblet]

it's more than part of the genre, it's a part of the lore

[fiery coral]

she's called that because it takes millenia before you can safely hit her

[signal crag]

oh, another man of culture as well

[fiery coral]

[chrome imp]

I watched it and completely agree. But it also lost me with many other things like catacombs (bosses aside), shitty mobs, just everything felt meh and the map towards end game is MUCH emptier. People hate to admit it because of recency bias and because the game is big, but late game areas feel unfinished.

[small goblet]

how about gravity balls swoosh swoosh

[fresh turtle]

There are a lot of fromsoft problems we let slide because of the games' quality. But since Elden Ring has so many problems we cannot ignore it

[sinful flare]

hornet is void

[small goblet]

#hk-lore

[sinful flare]

no

[chrome imp]

It's part of shitty design but I'm not supposed to say that

[small goblet]

yes

[sinful flare]

i would be killed

[small goblet]

that's the point, murder! 🥰

[chrome imp]

Exactly. I understand why it's so highly rated, but... people DO blow it out of proportion. A lot.

[fresh turtle]

Yeah they def do, the entire consecrated snowfield is just 3 ruins, another smaller sellia and a portal. With 1 invasion and 2 bosses. That's it

[cerulean sable]

if murder is now legal then i promise you i wont hurt anyone that regulars this chat, cuz ill save you all for last <3

[warm bone]

Cool 👍

[crisp drift]

why

[silver oak]

ttacco's winning the purge

[chrome imp]

But what if I want to die right now?

[cerulean sable]

the purge is a legit stupid fucking movie

they should stopped after the first one

[silver oak]

if you kill everyone do you win

[warm bone]

Battle royal

[fresh turtle]

Farum Azula and Haligtree have 2-4 enemy types they put everywhere with no continuity or good level design

[silver oak]

I could say the same about sharknado

[chrome imp]

Oh boy, I can't wait to get there.

[fresh turtle]

The most clever things in haligtree are enemies that push you off into the abyss below

[cerulean sable]

Sharknado at least tried

[silver oak]

Or the land before time

[cerulean sable]

Land Before Time is Based

[silver oak]

Did you know there's 14 land before time movies?

[cerulean sable]

ngl i barely explored Haligtree because at that point I just wanted the game to be over

yes

[silver oak]

At that point I honestly just have respect for the people who keep making them

[uncut citrus]

Letting me time to gather my shermarmy isn’t a good idea, taco...

[fresh turtle]

Legit just run, in both haligtree and farum azula I got through to the main bosses in 20 minutes.
There is nothing of real worth

[chrome imp]

I'm feeling the same way right now tbh.

[cerulean sable]

Shermnation

[warm bone]

I mean it’s an optional area

It could have been over if you wanted it to, but you chose to continue

[chrome imp]

Not with that location, but okay.

[fresh turtle]

Optional areas should still be good tho

[silver oak]

there are a bunch in HK

[gray swift]

optional areas should be good enough to make me want to go to them and actually stay there

[rapid topaz]

there is a bench in HK

[warm bone]

*cough path of pain *cough

[signal crag]

2 days left? for what?

[chrome imp]

HK has never felt too long, tedious, or overstaying its welcome to me personally.

[silver oak]

hey alsart

[cerulean sable]

for me it was like, i wasnt enjoying fighting the enemies that and the reward is probably another fucking nascent butterfly so theres really no point for me to explore the area

[rapid topaz]

Until new stanley parable

[warm bone]

The pantheons did exactly that

[signal crag]

ohhh, right that one

[silver oak]

oh they made a new one?

[cerulean sable]

and the enemies are either godrick soldier reskins or super tanky mega knights that will fuck you over if you get cornered

[rapid topaz]

New version

[chrome imp]

Oh yeah another thing, the rewards are shit.

[silver oak]

like a remaster or a sequel

[fiery coral]

Godhome

[cerulean sable]

in DS if i see an item i would go OMG IS THAT GONNA BE AN ITEM and 70% of the time it is unless its consumables

[dark barn]

in the trailer of ss the player looks like he didnt played hk

[rapid topaz]

Idk, seems like a completely re-imagined standalone

[signal crag]

unless they actually fit the build you are doing then yeah, they do

[silver oak]

wdym

[cerulean sable]

in Elden Ring, when i see an item i always hope it ISNT another crafting material

[dark barn]

he died

[gray swift]

?

[chrome imp]

True, Godhome does feel unnecessary. That's a good point. But I like how it has a completely new ending at least.

[dark barn]

i mean the bosses dont look that hard

[gray swift]

i heard hornet plays quite differently compared to the knight, so i wouldn't be surprised if people had trouble

[silver oak]

I always think you're Unique before I see your pfp

[signal crag]

having played HK doesn't automatically make you invincible in SS

[coarse leaf]

Is the elitism already starting, the game isn't even out yet

[dark barn]

yes

[warm bone]

True tbh, I also wish that you did not need to craft certain consumables and that you could buy infinite of all of them

[gray swift]

i'll take that as nothing

[warm bone]

Makes pvp kinda annoying

[dark barn]

anyways ss looks fun

[fresh turtle]

I won't lie I somehow found PoP fun

[warm bone]

Like more annoying than it already it

[chrome imp]

I don't even use crafting. I made a million rowa fruits at once and sometimes I make explosive pots. Crafting, as I expected, was just a box to check off in this game.

[rapid topaz]

Which part of the trailer they're dying?

[digital glen]

rowa fruits gang

[warm bone]

And I found haligtree fun

[signal crag]

PoP is great tbh,
also white palace imo, even if the jump in difficulty doesn't make too much sense

[cerulean sable]

the only time i wanted to craft was for arrows

[dark barn]

let me re see the trailer i forgot what was

[fresh turtle]

We will kill you

[cerulean sable]

for most of the time in any game, crafting is like a mechanic i like in paper but i always disliked in practice

[rapid topaz]

You probably meant the demo footage then

[dark barn]

yes

[cerulean sable]

sometimes its because i dont wanna bother with a shitty inventory shuffling mechanic

[warm bone]

Optional areas are optional for a reason, some people just want to get it over with while others wish to play more

[distant crown]

I agree

[dark barn]

theres also a enemy

[warm bone]

It’s for this reason I did not bother with pop or p5

[distant crown]

Optional areas makes the world feel more natural too

[cerulean sable]

the only time i gave a shit about crafting was cataclysm dark days ahead, and it was very mechanical

pour liquid in a 1liter container, use container and hose to siphon gas from car, put gas into a breakable container, add other liquid like oil, tear a curtain for string, combine the string to make cloth, apply cloth to the bottle

voila, molotov cocktail, an object that will most likely save your ass sometime in the future

[chrome imp]

Okay, that's not an excuse to make a shitty optional area just so you can say "yeah, and what? It's optional anyways". It's supposed to make you want to go there and be interested.

[fresh turtle]

We've discussed it multiple times in the ER discord bur the game feels like it's missing a lot. There's so much that is important to the story/characters that just isn't their when it should be and we just have to hope there's dlc

[gray swift]

theres gonna be dlc

[distant crown]

It is?

[gray swift]

it's nigh guaranteed

[warm bone]

More effort put into it than p5

[distant crown]

nigh

[warm bone]

All of godhome actually

[chrome imp]

Agree to disagree ig.

[gray swift]

i'd be very surprised if there wasn't but yes, theres always a chance there isn't i suppose

[distant crown]

Imagine p5 with 1 mask and no charms or spells and your nail only does one tick of damage

[fresh turtle]

Pantheon 5 is unbalanced tbh

[warm bone]

Godhome is the definition of artificial difficulty

[gray swift]

i just hope they add some kind of infinite larval tear merchant in the dlc so i don't have to go into ng+ when i want to try a new build

[chrome imp]

I was thinking about joining the ER discord, but I don't know how many active members there are. When there's too many people, having a conversation is literally impossible

[quartz yew]

I'm back

[warm bone]

It’s not a good server, too much slow mode to have any conversation and no Vc

Also the mods are incompetent

[gray swift]

"1v1 me elden ring"

[chrome imp]

[rapid topaz]

"I'll beat you in elden ring u noob"

[fiery coral]

I mean Elphael is hardly comparable to Godhome to be fair 🥴

Yeah 1v1 me, you can't

Because the net connection here is too terrible for co-op 😎

[quartz yew]

It's always statisfying to see them get their ass kicked right after they said it

[quartz yew]

Sounds like hell

[rapid topaz]

happened with league of legends for me, but honestly I didn't cared that much. was for fun

I don't see the point of 1v1 in any MOBAs

[quartz yew]

But then again I wonder what happened that caused the server to have that much slow mode

[fresh turtle]

If you're gonna go somewhere to talk there go to lore. It's the only place most users actively avoid. So the people there talk about the actual lore and correct each other respectfully. Only a few times are there actual trolls and people usually agree to disagree if they can't come to a conclusion. Also it's unhinged and they will tell you about the wildest stuff that is in the lore

[distant crown]

[quartz yew]

Now that sounds like the perfect place to have 3 am talks

[distant crown]

hi chat

[rapid topaz]

hi

[quartz yew]

Hello

Ya'll mind if I derail the convo to hell real quick

[digital glen]

hey Reevs

Does that answer your question?

[quartz yew]

Speaking of lore I remembered once the whole chat was watching #hk-lore go down on an arguments and teasing about the topics before they all invaded the ss chat.
It was chill though, thankfully.

[vague plaza]

things i will miss about HK that prob won't be in SS
-being a small fellow with a small hitbox
-having shade cloak bc i am void

[distant crown]

Mumbo is void?

[quartz yew]

We vot air dash so maybe shade cloak isn't completely gone.

[gray swift]

wait thats true

[vague plaza]

they could prob integrate it in a way that isn't connected to void
it's one of the best upgrades out there so i'd be really sad if it's not there anymore

[gray swift]

i wonder if we'll get an iframe dash at all

[crisp drift]

hm i do not recall of this occasion

[coarse leaf]

i doubt hornet won't have a movement move that gives you iframes

[quartz yew]

I don't think you were there

[fresh turtle]

Hornet is emo so she won't have as many friends as the knight

[vague plaza]

hornet is in a position to rebuff friendship bc she can speak

[fresh turtle]

She also has equal opportunity to fumble bc she can speak
