Boss cells are also an example of a skill check locking alternative paths, letting you pivot more decisively
Trying to make the game fun for longer, specifically past the 2 hour mark
TLDR: areas are locked off because of intelligent game design, not negligence
Oh well, I see, I forgot this was 2 hours
I guess it can get overwhelming to have so many areas thrown at you at once
I stand corrected
I like how spelunky 2 handled the multiple area choices through each having pros and cons for each run, especially when going for the elusive special ending
sry late reply but what do you call as the "last boss" ?
||Dogma||
With the die in one hit character
You cannot get hit by this one if you know how to do it
The second phase
As a "veteran" (idk if that's the term) I didn't get hit anymore
But for real I think || Delirium || is the real bullshit
That is exactly what dead cells does
I've seen that too
It's getting reworked in a next update
The easiest to spot factor behind area choice is what boss you fight.
This factor is multiplied by the DLC content, which effectively adds a new route along with their boss
Yeah I mean if you aim for the 100% of the game there is some characters like that, it's just hard as hell. Doesn't means runs aren't all winnable but It requires a stupid skill for humans sometimes imo
Repentance have around x2.5 the amount of content than the previous expansion so it's kinda long to do it
very
I won't recommend going for it unless you really want to, because there is no special "reward". It's fun enough if you just play the characters you like and the routes you like
Most of the best players goes for the easiest routes for win-streak 'cause it's just fun
From who, me?
Nice essay man
@unborn dome are you aware you've been typing for a long time
we're all still waiting on this essay @unborn dome, better be good
the spelunky risk/reward essay is coming
lmao
this is off topic
tbh we'd talk about it anyway
let's be real, how many silksong conversations have we had this year
I estimate maybe fifty out of a few hundred were on topic?
Can someone post fake Pharloom maps?
But compared to 2020-early 2021 it's laughable
spelunky has plenty of riskreward elements when it's not busy sending you in unfair 3-damage combos that were caused by bad rng
I wanna get some false hype
that's a dangerous and addictive substance but will only lead to misery
I am ready
fake courtesy of aluo
not if i have a say in it
five night freddy
feddy
christ I keep typing knight instead of night
I am enjoying this game

Not that I know of

Animal Crossing is so chill
Yes queen slay 💅

I found him

that is god
I'm saving this one
Today we are analyzing the Silksong Reveal Trailer 2:07 / 2:09
this is clearly metaphorical, the darkness represents the darkness in pharloom and the suffering the pilgrims are going through as they ascend to the capital
also it means hornet is void
oh no
loos like the silson reles date
out
HI CHAT
hollow knigt is so story, I wish bugs were real.
HRU TODAY

Yes
gru
witness god
Gru???!
the big man
there was no void joke, im proud of everyone
abandon your religion, this is your new faith
you did not read the messages carefully enough
what have you done
||Shut up, learn to articulate your thoughts better, I ||didn't ask||, speak more clearly.||
we were so close
I have no regrets
you should
didn't akk
didn't aaa 
didn't axe
When you are finished with this please start doing frames, they may have packed the full plot and release date in there!
didn't sss
hell no, im sorry
I actually started analyzing frames, but quickly gave up
holy shit honestly fair enough that you tried atleast
anyone else excited for hyper light breaker
i have play drifter yet
changes from 2D to 3D tend to be pretty well received as was the case with Risk of Rain 2
indeed
Mario 64
Yes, we could do 3D games even back in 1964
Back in the stone age
Yet this lazy indie devs still use easy baby 2D graphics
And worthless no skill no effort pixel "art"
In the age of photorealism, can we really consider pixel art games to be "games" at all?
It's 2022, wake up sheeple
It's good that there's still good companies out there like EA
Where could I go to get the best high-quality high-quantity open world releases but Ubisoft?

Exactly, there's still companies out there who produce real games for educated people like us
Y'know what's worse? People keep drawing these games by hand! Like, we have computers for a reason, maybe USE THEM
Can't believe people actually still work on games when they could just computer them instead
Everyone knows computers do all the work
Indie developers trying to draw 3D cube be like:
accurate
silkosng enhanced editon
Indie videogame character design be like
indie "video game"
that's literally shandow
"This is The Sender and it has been cursed to an eternity of working to keep itself in an enlightened state in order to perpetuate stability in a dying civilization"
Soon
3 days until the aliens arrive
I'm literally eatig ramen rn 😳
Loys
Indie video"game" "unique" "art"style be like:
pob
is that hornt
deltarune enemy
when direct
now
🐝?
no that's a bee silly
that's a bee dumas
Can't believe there's a Nintendo Direct tomorrow
🐝 < this is a hornet
Oh there isn't one

shut up dumas
DreamQuest (2014)
as much as it brought to the table mechanically god its fuckin ugly
You see bees everywhere don't you?
I do actually 
It may have something to do with your honeyness

Pov:
Honestly tho, I'm serious, why does this game get such hate? It must be bad of course, but that can't be the whole truth
its pronounced y2k you fucking morons
Which game
YIIk
Yeek
Isnt Y2k a rapper or smt
A fake to replenish some people
ok but why 2 k?
Im so confused is that an actual game
y2k was the new year 2000 celebration event
where'd the music come from
it's pretty believable
silksong, duh
is that an actual part of a trailer? i cant recall seeing that
Full Mask Shard track, it's on Sumwan's channel
I see
if so which one
She ran through the room, I spent some time making her sit
Whaaat
literally said fake in the text
oooooh
It's on the new towns scene
yeah its the long awaited sequel to HK Zoteboat
There must be worse games that are mentioned less
U know what?
Morpheus is the movie ever made.
Yeah it was a whole thing
Morbius is better than Silksong ever will be
i love the scene where he says its morbin time and just morbs everybody in the room
That scene won 39 oscars on release
hilarious
For the love of God, give us some new info already Team Cherry.
nah
He sounds rather salty
My joke was better
I'm gonna insist to Team Cherry that they don't give us news
I will not give you news
I wish to be here the moment Leth comes to the channel to ask if we want news. And say "nah, we are good".
Fuck you
that's not nice
awww, fuck you too
nice day for morbin
Watch your tone when speaking to honey dear gorgeous
bro what
I know. They deserve it.
🧊
at least they're consistent
Honey only deserves hugs

Hi team cherry
alright done with the team cherry joke
the bottom message is an outlier
Sounds good
next on yiik: create a quantum computer to attack an enemy
Better
Probably has something like draw an abstract painting to do an attack
I attack with the power of my art and inspiration
I have art power
I drew a femboy
You could be a Yiik character
I will show you one of my pieces
I'll keep it up till we get new info.
@rare flume If you're trolling it's not funny
may I recommend you a game called Crowsworn
And if you're not then stop please, it's not helpful
To your own detriment
Crowsworn is overrated
beat path of pain backwards with 700 any radiances firing quick volleys of triple damage attacks with no iframes radiantly to attack an enemy in YIIIK: A Post-Post-Post-Post-Postmodern RPG
I don't like you anymore
Crowsworn is awesome and a great game
Team cherry will give us news when they so wish

Well, I think this is enough... again, thanks for the info
I was gonna mock your comment but you edited it, fuc.
what? I never said that
As if I'd play that blatant ripoff.
Crosswords is overrated
k
Yeah this guy's a troll
they had me at "blatant ripoff"
aaaand blocked
lmao
They are copying Undertale 😭
you're a fuckin crow
Can’t wait until silksong releases though
Well, you can wait
Facts
I feel like it's pretty easy to tell who's a troll and who isn't
joining a conversation with "fuck you" is quite the red flag
wow I haven't said that word in a public server in like a year
Fun fact: we all can wait
I know I can I’m just excited I’m not a desperate fan
Unless you are allergic to waiting
the exception is gum gun
I know. It was a joke. I can't wait to play Crowsworn.
wait this doesn't sound like me when did I do this
now what if i made it Ravensworn
fuck #off-topic
Ravenvow
what is even happening
Terrible name for a crpwsworn sequels
thats a lot of anger. But I have to respect the use of 'a lot' and not 'alot'
off topic is great
it's like here but chill
gum gun nonwithstanding
your mother
But it's quite funny actually, there is actually no "I can't wait" possible. There is nothing else to do but wait.
great. now im crying

Since I’m sooooo great at art would you like to see one of my many art pieces?
Yes, I was actually waiting for you to do so
Ok
a spear. you're thinking of a spear.
Make spoons any sharper and they'll start confiscating them in London
shhhh you'll summon ttacco
God I love swords
I'm glad we chose swords to be the mainstream weapons, spears, halberds, axes, they are all so boring
some swords look sick as fu/k and i really want one
Come to #art-discussion
yo dawg can i get some ice cream
I'm there
Since this thing is trolling with me
what do you mean axes are cool
(I'm just trying to summon the food-headed fallen prophet)
axes are so fuckin rad
ah
and holy fuck scythes
SO TRUE
You may recognize this creature by the... unusual Discord name
scythes are underrepresented as a weapon because they're not weapons
they can be
what the fuck do you mean spears aren't cool
I'm just following the ritual
Hello guys
I love sick and unique weapons ideas that wouldn't work irl, like uhh crescent moon from terraria calamity
just have every single one of them be crappy melee and turn into a fucking bazooka
calamity weapons are so cool
I'm just trying to summon the crunchy-headed provider of the guns to say something like "I blast you with my level 48 MR74 assault rifle"
you guys SEEN some of the weapons in Archvale
beans
just look at Swordsplosion, there is no way you could use this in any real life battle but you want to
which charm gives you that weapon
Why can’t I use it in real life?
Everybody gangsta till this mfer shows up
Gatormage Staff, Jackal Spear, Snail Rod, Iron Throwing Axe, Bubble Scepter...
bloodborne trick weapon transition animations for 10 hours with gentle rain in the background, slowed down + reverb
Looks cool
Journey's End is almost 2 years old wtf
Wait what!
if I had to guess from all the calamity accessories, Angelic Alliance.
do you get that from sly
looks like a nail, probably

why sad
Cool u draw
yes mate
Can i see ur drawings.
NO
I can draw too :/
hah show us
I can let u see mine
you can go to #art-discussion if you want to see them because I can’t upload them here because my device is having trouble with stuff
Oof
I cant see ur drawing
w
I made an attachment to see it
circ
Goofy ahh
CIRL E??????

circ
Yes, my greatest work
fun fact. since your screen is pixels (tiny squares) no circle on it is a perfect circle.
That's just indie devs who are weak and can't have continuous graphics
And are reduced to their little discrete colors on a grid nonsense
Wow, sharp corners on blocks look really bad
circl
you'll get there eventually
It seems like I'll have to cut some corners
circs
Imagine hugging Hornet and the Hollow Knight. Best day ever ❤️
but they too tiny
Hollow Knight is tall
tall for bug but not tall compared to me
Sibling bond
They are human sized not actual bug sized.
How do you know
Pharloom is created by human hands
They are bugs I believe
assuming those a regular sized scissors
scissor
Me too
she is coming for you
Human sized bugs that can talk and wear clothes
How do you know they're human sized tho
How do you know they aren't?
I'd assume bugs are bug sized
They aren't real life bugs.
They are still bugs you have no proof for them being human sized.
Why don't you back it up with a source
Team Cherry tweet said Hornet can throw her needle 30 yards. Would be impossible if she were the size of a real life bug.
Also the rain in City of Tears would be much larger if The Knight were actually tiny.
there are no humans in hollow knight to compare the bugs to
My source is that I made it the fuck up!
source: trust me bro
Maybe it's bug sized rain
Stop being stupid. Rain is rain.
Yet bugs are human sized, curious
what bug is Nork??
Yes?
a

yes
You broke the cycle how could you
it was important
will allow you to hold R2 to block attacks with her needle at the cost of stamina

zaliant buzz off
we are unlocking the secret ss-discussion cheat code
🅿️
And now every one of us will be personally killed by Hornet
HI CHAT
save us, main character
death by buzzsaw
buzzshaw*
No
hornet is the main character
Ah yes buzzshaw attack, deal slashing damage 100d20 to everyone who hit it
tired
I could definitely beat her in a fight
choose your weapon
But she can heal herself and you don't
My bare fists
Pick a blade!
Healing means nothing if I beat her to death fast enough
The middle one
middle one
the first one has been through a christmas tree, and the last one looks like something thanos should have
you have chosen the crushing abyss blade, now how do you kill hornet with it?
From where are those blade?
it's a secret
tbf the middle one looks like you just pulled it out of a mountain but still looks the best
Is it like Terraria
I will bash her over the head
Smh she'll just jump away
you surprise attack hornet and bash her head with the abyss crusher, you win this round

i stab it in the ground, makes a hole, hornet falls in
im picking top
surprise surprise, it was an illusion! The real Hornet attacks from behind. Roll initiative with disadvantage
hortnet starvs to death, you win
and im gonna diagonally strike inbetween bv's horns, hopefully crushing the skull
smart choice
did it succesfully crack the skull, leaking infection and killing bv from well.. no head? or juice
Last one
Use it as a diversion and kick from below
but what are you kicking at? there is simply nothing
the weapon, however, is made of fragile ice and cracks ( but doesn't break ) as you try to carve it into bv. what now?
it cracks, a piece breaks off that seems sharp. i dart past an attack and jab it into bv's eyehole, hoping to pop something, and have infection spill out of the eye.
Can the weapon even do magic spell
sucess! bv is died
yayy
I have some that do
did rcy win or did their kick fail miserably
Oh so the weapons are art made by you?
they look really good if they are :)
no
anyways how did rcy do
What the hell is that bottom weapon
pizza cutter probs
the kick fails, bv uses the opportunity to slash rcy with it's nail and win
Maybe
dang
it was a magical yoyo, anyways
is there a round 3 now? this is kinda fun tbh
choose a magical staff... You are fighting against Gorb this time.
Fighting against Gorb? Impossible! You cannot beat The Ascended One!
( lets just say you have to survive )
or you can try to defeat goprb

i pick the third. i harness the power of fire, and send a narrow bolt through his spikes, at his center. i hope he loses focus, falls, and while he's down, use the oppurtunity to flip the staff upside down and beat him over the head until they are out cold. then i run, far.
Sucess! you have survived Gorb, using the power of the astral staff and pure blunt force trauma, but there is worse to come...
hey everyone, how was your day?
choose the next boss yourself!
i just beat gorb with a staff
nice
ill take...
A strawberry beating Gorb
a strawberry with a staff
random number between 1 and 46 please
27

19
well, goodnight everyone, have fun 
Bye have a good rest
alright, choose a blade/melee weapon

These look epic! Did you make this weapon art?
Nope.
ill take the unassuming short sword. the most casual of blades hide the deepest of secrets.
Terraria?
close
terraria 2?
Is it calamity mod thing
anyways, can i make my moves?
I like your thinking! It's an electric and aquatic shank, how will you fight DD with it?
Can we do the boss number thing?
Dung Defender has protective air of stink around him and tough plate of armor, be careful!
i dont really watch Doctor Who but i hope Silksong will have more vocal choir-ish buglandish music https://open.spotify.com/track/3MVvjJMdyzMzlMGbBhdkO4?si=7ae62e0a1cb94f4f
It’s very likely

theres a patch of fur that isn't covered by armor. i press the blade against his fur and i hope for the electricity to have an impact. i get infront of dungy while theyre struggling against the shock, and i slip the shank in a crack between 2 plates of armor, and pry dung defender's armor off. i warn dung that they are now defenseless against me, what does dung do??

also how has my critical thinking been throughout all of thi
I like Garmond and zaza
My remix from The Binding of Isaac Rebirth's Cathedral theme I did for a music game jam.
Music : Faktum Nexus
Original Music : "Everlasting Hymn" - Ridiculon
hornet heads into the final area
Cathedral there’s a cathedral in silksong
Plus this looks like the citadel knight boss room
🤔

Dung Defender flips a switch that opens up the floor of the arena, dropping yall both down into a sewer arena section of the royal waterways, water is up halfway to your kneecap and there are small separated platforms above the water you can jump on to get yourself out of the water and on slightly higher ground.


good critical thinkin
already did
Except i refuse to jump up. I take a breath, and a I take a plunge. The sword, which you said was aquatic, grants me swift passage through the water, and under dung defender. Now im grabbing onto dungs back to stay afloat, and holding the knife against the back of their neck. I tell them if they surrender and guide me out of the waterways, i won't harm them.

I do not own the rights to any of the music heard in these videos.
Btw how Is everyone doing today?
Im okay
preparing for my last final exam
Good good I’ve been working on the citadel and the city that’s across its bridge
hopefully did not fail any of my courses 😒
despite the height of the water only reaching 1-1.5 feet, the weapon you hold makes it feel like a vast ocean, You threaten Dung Defender with your weapon, and he regretfully agrees to your terms. you win!
lets goooooo
Good luck,you can do it
Now... next boss! ( if you want )
ty
Nice,you gotta stream the citadel or share the world or smthing when youre done
yeah sure but can i have like 10 mins? Can't be on my pc rn and inneed it to see images (and also just type better)
of course👍
Stream I might stream on twitch but I don’t know if I can share my smp world
I took Yet another day of not going to school because of a cold
And also my mom wants me to recover fully so i also dont go tomorrow,but i fell good and the cold isnt much of a problem
Stream it thought twich or discord screen share
Or I might make a YouTube video on my channel
Yeah i think that would definitively do it,also you could bluur anything you dont want to show
Oks
Sub skirby
Also since I don’t have a pc I play mobile
fits the game but i dont like the WOOOOO WOOOO ghostly sounding thing for Silksong
Sometimes it sucks
woo-woo! Hornet won! Yayyyy!
course not exactly like this but i think this kind of energy in the music would be cool
yes yes ofc

hi sam
Perona tuesday 
is over..
end is nigh time
Its over now.................................
When did HKcord get a sticker?
Wait you don't need nitro for animated stickers? Huh didn't know that
I mean u can use stickers on just one server but if u wanna use on other server then uhhh u need nitro
ohhhhhhhhhhhh
one last silk and ill be gone
make it last throw a flash fly bomb
💀 wtf have i done
i challenged my friend to see who can memorize the countries of the world first
im literaly gonna die
good luck
Im so bad at memorizing the african countries
Angola,Kenya,Sudan,Ghana,Tanzania,Egypt,South Africa,Madagascar,Ethiopia and many more
yes many more
I have studied the world many times
Zimbabwe is another country
And remember guys Africa is NOT a country
its a state
pretty sure South Africa's a country
No it’s a continent mate it’s not funny
It is
🤓
Its hilarious
sure it is
i dont really remember lot of the smaller countries
There is a country named chad
immersive tutorials lets go
we already have bind because youre forced to use it at the start of the game
i lurk 
then for ledge climb, they implemented it by adding a high enough platform on the get go that youll naturally try to climb up which will trigger the ledge climb
What this about mate?
SS implementing an integrated tutorial
Oh silksong tutorial section
in other games usually they give like a clear and obvious icon telling you what to do
in some other games even like doom, they go further and pause the game to give you detailed instructions + actual clip of what you can do
however some devs opt in for a less invasive tutorial where you end up "figuring it out on your own"
the ledge climb for example, in SS they couldve paused the game and said
"HERES A LEDGE, GO FORWARD TOWARDS AND AND HORNET WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLIMB ON IT
HOLD A TO CLOSE THIS TUTORIAL"
instead they just added a high enough platform that youll be forced to ledge climb since people hold forward and jump to test if they can reach something out of instinct anyway
Yeah
another example in HK, apparently you were supposed to learn up and down slash in the ancestral mounds
there are breakable ceilings and floors you were supposed to have an AHA moment with
you cant break them with a normal slash? meaning i probably have to strike high yeah?
thing is though, they buffed the nail range before release, so that means you can destroy those platforms without down/up slashing rendering that tutorial useless
have you not played the game?
I’m at like 6% in my first playthrough
i didnt even know they wanted me to learn anything
I’m not good at bosses
are you on crossraods
Yes
there is still lots to explore gl
Oks I just gotta get past false knight
THATS THE BEST PART
a lot of people argue that immersive tutorials are the best way of teaching players
ofc you cant really do that if your game is complex as fuck
but HK off the bat isnt super complex so they can get away with this
Guys its past 6am i havent slept and i feel like making fries with cheese sauce
What do i do
food helps me sleep sometimes
another example is Half Life 2
"Oh noo Gordon, theyre coming in the room. Ill distract them, meanwhile you get out of here by the backroom. Try stacking boxes or something I dont know"
but idk if you have stuff to do if youre gonna sleep at 6
then the game just prompts you with "Press E to hold objects. Press E to drop them"
and youre now in a room with a highplatform you cant reach
I think the reason im not sleepy is cuz i slept till 2pm yesterday
yeah i like it when the tutorial isnt just a wall of text or graphics explaining what to do
game design 102
where was this said?
well no i mean its just general game dev shit
shouldve phrased it as
"Opinions on Silksong's handling of integrated UI"
ah, so it's a most likely case scenario, given what we know about team cherry?
the name do be a little cursed
Very uncanny
I don't think he is ever addressed in game, but he's pretty much universally referred to as the grubfather. never the "Grubdaddy"
is your pfp a wombo dream of 'hollow knight' ?
It is
not that uncannyfather would be a much better name now that i think of it
does anyone know what "rp" stands for in the fourth bulletin of the rules in #rules-and-info ?
Role play maybe?
seems a bit harsh
Think so?
especially given the things it's next to
Even simo isn’t sure what the rule is lol
I know what the rule is, it's Roleplay yeah
I'm asking if they think not allowing it is harsh
Yea just realized that, my bad
maybe you have a good reason for not allowing it, i just don't immediately see the problem
idk, it's your server.
People rp'ing as HK characters and such just took away from proper game discussion, especially in #hk-discussion
rp'ing itself isn't bad or anything, it just annoyed a fair few people so we just disallowed it. Don't think many people do it here anyway
Mind you, this was probably back when new content had come out, Silksong announcement, and lots of traffic. Nowadays its more relaxed, but come Silksong release, it'll be busy with discussions etc.
I will die before it releases 👋
so it falls into about the same boat as "stay on the subject of the channel"
that is it's not important right now and so it doesn't get moderated?
imagine actually dying before silksong releases
Yeah I can imagine once the HK community was buzzing for love for all the weird characters there must've been a fair bit of RP
stop roleplaying that your death is imminent 🤨
How long have you been an admin here simo?
He's been an admin since the server was created I'm fairly sure
he created the server or benji

are there 43 text channels normal users can't see?
Ooh yea
Can't wait till we get a hype resurgence equivalent to Elden Ring but zanier
Is this year the year boys? 
is it true that you are an admin, mod, art staff, speedrun.com mod, modding staff, race organiser, speedrun booster, and nitro booster?
Don’t give them hope
For real Orange, I can't wait to see everyone react to Silksong stuff
hopefully 
Let the shroompogs overflow
2023 has lot of indie games, dont want them to be overshadowed by silksong
I'm just scared of the things that will happen to ss-discussion when the game actually releases
Not sure on release window but the hope is we wouldn't have to wait too long once announced
I've said this many times and for good reason
I won’t touch silksong discussion when it releases I’m beating the game and avoiding all spoilers
Forget about ss-discussion once the game releases, come back if you need help and once you've finished the game to share in the pog
what will we do
Probably still will, we are chained to this place
Hopefully Elden Ring will hold me for a while, along with other new games
i'm honestly curious, does it count all the channels that have since been deleted, or are there 43 private channels in this server??
I was gonna get all the achievements in hk before silksong came out I still need speed completion, steel soul 100%, and godhome ending
Yep there's many mod channels, I think even some team cherry/admin channels
There's mod channels, but also a lot of old speedrunning channels that are now archived
just not deleted in case they need to come back? that makes sense..
Ya'll just wait till my mod arc begins... it's over for all of you
note to self, hk discord mods have low self esteem
Wombat how's the annoying Elden Ring lady going
killed
i then killed Hobo Louie like 30 minutes later

i then walked into the light and so I guess I have to fight the ginger now
good thing im packing tons of runes ive kept throughout the game
if im straight up not high enough levelled i'll just do it myself
perfect
im not gonna break my Golden Rule after 100+ hours
I wonder if any of the admins ended up getting around Elden Ring
Is your golden rule no summons?
lego star wars is outmatched
my golden rule is no giving up
if i attempt a boss, i attempt it with what i have in my inventory until i win
no leaving to grind
Oh nice, that's similar to Sekiro, which has no grinding
yeah
i have not done any grinding in elden ring
outside of dying and then killing enemies to return to my runes, that doesnt really count
Me neither, grinding is a waste of time, I would rather die to a boss many many times and waste hours than mindlessly grind
there is no grinding in doom 😎
no grinding in Outer Wilds 
i'm worried there could be grinding in silksong
You grind to doom in your sleep?
What about lego star wars
does true jedi award count?
Benji and I going for all 11xx Kyber Bricks
im guessing happy
its not like he said "I'm aiming to get sued by each member of my family. It's hard work!"
what a weird joke.
Damn it it’s like my hand got a mind of their own ordering more fangamer hk merch
👏 
on another topic, i heard you shouldn't play doom because there's too much grinding. do you think i should buy it anyway?
doom 2016?
wait tell me there aren't actually doom games with grinding
what?
you grind in doom games, i thought they were linear FPS 
what
I was asking what doom you were referring too 🤦♂️
no this joke is going wrong i was trying to do a funny like pls look ten messages up
the modern series has moments where you can kill specific enemies in certain ways to unlock new points for upgrades
the classic games dont have any semblance of grinding though
you kill, you pick up item, you dont die
the only kind of grinding would be "grinding" runs for challenges
and uh... yeah thats probably more soul crushing of a journey
i slide on the ground and lift you the air before emptying my entire rifle at you and juggling you midair with it
Roleplay isn't allowed
honestly i don't know much about fps games, but from what i've seen and heard i'm not a huge fan
FPS is a super broad category for games
i think i can safely say about 80% are rubbish
It means you're first person and you're shooting
As vague as other genre descriptions
i think the closest i've played is portal
yes well the feel of an FPS like Doom is gonna be super different to Half Life 2, or even Half Life 1
singleplayer FPS experiences like Halo, Dusk, Bioshock, Borderlands, are all gonna be very different
and thats just singleplayer
This was a triumph, I'm making a note here: Huge success
it must be hard to overstate your satisfaction!
good morning!
We getting major silksong news in the next 4 weeks
oh are we? 
i'm having a great time. you?
Doing well, it’s been an anticlimactic day.
i spent the morning today shucking bamboo shoots.
hes feeding his pet panda
last night, some people just crashed their car right in front of our house and it rolled down a hill into the bank ( grassy hill kind ), they all survived luckily.
Ah of course
don't know what to say about that kind of thing
i'm not sure that i can that it is, and i agree with you about the flavor
it's just better than throwing them away
I’m glad they’re alright, do you know if it was an accident or were they under some kind of alcohol/drug?
a family member said they might have been trying to do some car tricks or something in the night, and it went horribly wrong. I don't know if they were drunk or anything like that, we don't know everything about it yet.
anyway I need to go eat, I'll see you all later
Well that’s truly unfortunate.
they all lived
Adios my friend
i think even if they were drunk, unless they planned to do it it would still be an accident
bye
there are points in life when it is not a good idea to say "do a barrel roll"
Yeah pretty stupid stuff in my opinion. Any injury-inducing activity like that always seems irrational and pointless.
every day we are 86,400 seconds closer to silksong releasing
if it doesnt release then we were never actually getting closer to it
If so then we’re getting farther away from it
that would only make sense it it was already here.
quick somebody check!
I’m assuming TC planned on releasing it, and then decided not to. Then in that case we are getting farther and farther away from when it was possible to be released.

that must be it since steam still says the release date is "tba"
And closer and closer to our imminent deaths
I thought it said 2028
not on my wishlist. did it not always say that?
Curious
silksong is actually the wait, were playing it rn
Silksong is easy then
tba traditionally means they know the date but aren't telling us
i assumed it was just improperly labeled, does this mean instead that silksong is pretty much done?
of course meaning the wait is almost over
Didn’t leth say it was pretty much done but they just keep adding stuff
You know I tried to convince myself it was pretty much done. That was two years ago. Now I’ve just accepted the void-like state my mind has ascended to and in this little limbo I really don’t care.
You thought they would need a year to work on the game full time?
Well, I'm not gonna judge, it's just surprising
Pretty sure they didn’t start in 2019, and I was also a lot younger and foolish then. Oh how long it’s been.
Considering the trailer came out February 2019 ^
The main reason people thought it would be soon was cause the Nintendo treehouse said coming soon
I heard Silksong started production after HK’s release, but it’s unsure
They didn't start in 2019, but they started working on it full time around then.
Sounds about right to me :)
Silksong was meant as a DLC, so they did have some things in order for it.
Indeed
eh, it'll exist eventually
So will our death
Your lie in april

you see
I mean, it exists now. It's just not finished.
i still wonder if it would have been a "true dlc" that cost extra money, or a silly thing like the 4 updates that hollow knight got.
Or just a simple character swap between the knight and hornet
not to say the updates are silly, just calling them a dlc is
Depends on how big they planned it, me thinks.
Methinks it probably doesn’t matter 
I think within the next 2 years at most
It doesn't, but people talk about a bunch of things that don't matter
tis human nature

fight the knight in greenpath??
That’s a well educated, pessimistic guess
SHAW
Games take about likr 4 years to make right
If they’re good games, yes
Entirely game dependant.
But really depends on the team too
Yes
depending on the game, I'd say from 2019 it could take to 2023
I wouldn’t be mad with 2023
I dont know their dev process though
are you insulting the masterpiece that is hungry knight???
but I think a good amount of games take a few years anyways
Hungry knight is a whole different category
I actually can’t think of what it would be like
Sad how much of my life would be defined by the game when it releases
I literally haven’t played videogames for months
silky, possibly songy
but don't quote me on that
But when it does come out, I’m taking my time with it. Probably leaving this server to avoid spoilers, and living in a cave with my Nintendo switch.
Good idea
With a side of unreleased
And a lot more are going to join 
Definitely won’t be. Ss discussion will become a zoo.
Happyened
i wonder how many category splits there'll be
i can predict help into hkhelp and sshelp
Careful, now
oh i thought you meant moderation modifying makes more sense
i really look forward to mods that will cross the bridge between the two games
how long do you think it'll be until someone beats any radiance as hornet
Approximately 287 days, 21 hours, 17 minutes, and 31 seconds, With 57 milliseconds
good to know
I wonder if there will be a harder boss than NKG and PV in Silksong
I sure hope so
Me too
The Dark Souls fanboy in me craves it
they said the game was meant to be around the same difficulty, so as not to scare off new players.
but they can still have hard bossfights as long at they build up to it, and i look forward to finding out what silk soul is.
Same here
And I bet silksong will have the same kind of dlc things HK did
Anyways, I’m off to bed, goodnight ss discussion. Until next time 
Good night
