"Steam refund timing" ?

tawdry valley
#

Boss cells are also an example of a skill check locking alternative paths, letting you pivot more decisively

tawdry valley
#

TLDR: areas are locked off because of intelligent game design, not negligence

rapid topaz
radiant wraith
#

I guess it can get overwhelming to have so many areas thrown at you at once

#

I stand corrected

unborn dome
#

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

rapid topaz
#

sry late reply but what do you call as the "last boss" ?

radiant wraith
#

With the die in one hit character

rapid topaz
#

You cannot get hit by this one if you know how to do it

radiant wraith
#

The second phase

rapid topaz
#

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

tawdry valley
radiant wraith
#

I've seen that too

rapid topaz
#

It's getting reworked in a next update

tawdry valley
#

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

rapid topaz
# radiant wraith With the die in one hit character

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

radiant wraith
#

very

rapid topaz
#

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

radiant wraith
#

I certainly won't be doing it

#

I think there's an essay incoming

im literaly gonna die

good luck

wheat sail
#

Im so bad at memorizing the african countries

distant crown
wheat sail
#

yes many more

distant crown
#

I have studied the world many times

#

Zimbabwe is another country

#

And remember guys Africa is NOT a country

wheat sail
#

its a state

crisp drift

pretty sure South Africa's a country

Nigeria exists too

i dont really remember lot of the smaller countries

distant crown

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

distant crown
#

i lurk nosklurk

cerulean sable
#

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

distant crown
#

What this about mate?

cerulean sable
#

SS implementing an integrated tutorial

distant crown
#

Oh silksong tutorial section

cerulean sable
#

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"

distant crown
#

Yeah hornet actually has to heal to get up

#

So no heal runs are impossible

cerulean sable
#

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

distant crown
#

Yeah

cerulean sable
#

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

distant crown
#

Yeah aha

#

I haven’t reached ancestral mound yet

cerulean sable
#

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?

distant crown
#

I’m at like 6% in my first playthrough

wheat sail
#

i didnt even know they wanted me to learn anything

distant crown
#

I’m not good at bosses

wheat sail
#

are you on crossraods

distant crown
proud vale
distant crown
wheat sail
#

there is still lots to explore gl

distant crown
cerulean sable
#

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

random fox
#

Guys its past 6am i havent slept and i feel like making fries with cheese sauce

#

What do i do

wheat sail
#

food helps me sleep sometimes

cerulean sable
#

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"

wheat sail
#

but idk if you have stuff to do if youre gonna sleep at 6

cerulean sable
#

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

random fox
#

I think the reason im not sleepy is cuz i slept till 2pm yesterday

well no i mean its just general game dev shit

ah, so it's a most likely case scenario, given what we know about team cherry?

the name do be a little cursed

opal geyser
#

Very uncanny

shrewd surge
#

I don't think he is ever addressed in game, but he's pretty much universally referred to as the grubfather. never the "Grubdaddy"

proud vale

is your pfp a wombo dream of 'hollow knight' ?

It is

shrewd surge

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 ?

elfin badge
#

Role play maybe?

shrewd surge
#

seems a bit harsh

charred pulsar
#

Think so?

shrewd surge
#

especially given the things it's next to

elfin badge
#

Even simo isn’t sure what the rule is lol

charred pulsar
#

I know what the rule is, it's Roleplay yeah

#

I'm asking if they think not allowing it is harsh

elfin badge
#

Yea just realized that, my bad

shrewd surge
#

maybe you have a good reason for not allowing it, i just don't immediately see the problem

#

idk, it's your server.

charred pulsar
#

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.

wheat sail
#

I will die before it releases 👋

shrewd surge
#

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?

potent plover
proud vale
#

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

He's been an admin since the server was created I'm fairly sure

2023 has lot of indie games, dont want them to be overshadowed by silksong

potent plover
#

I'm just scared of the things that will happen to ss-discussion when the game actually releases

proud vale
#

Not sure on release window but the hope is we wouldn't have to wait too long once announced

potent plover
#

I've said this many times and for good reason

elfin badge
#

I won’t touch silksong discussion when it releases I’m beating the game and avoiding all spoilers

proud vale
#

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

potent plover
#

what will we doagoneyes

proud vale
#

Probably still will, we are chained to this place

#

Hopefully Elden Ring will hold me for a while, along with other new games

# thin zephyr

i'm honestly curious, does it count all the channels that have since been deleted, or are there 43 private channels in this server??

elfin badge
#

I was gonna get all the achievements in hk before silksong came out I still need speed completion, steel soul 100%, and godhome ending

proud vale
#

Yep there's many mod channels, I think even some team cherry/admin channels

charred pulsar
shrewd surge
#

just not deleted in case they need to come back? that makes sense..

cunning geode
#

yeah we keep mod channels in case mods ever come back

#

lazy nerds

Ya'll just wait till my mod arc begins... it's over for all of you

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH

that's hype good job

cunning geode
#

i then killed Hobo Louie like 30 minutes later

proud vale
cunning geode
#

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

proud vale
#

perfect

cunning geode
#

im not gonna break my Golden Rule after 100+ hours

proud vale
#

I wonder if any of the admins ended up getting around Elden Ring

#

Is your golden rule no summons?

cunning geode
#

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

proud vale
#

Oh nice, that's similar to Sekiro, which has no grinding

cunning geode
#

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

proud vale
#

Me neither, grinding is a waste of time, I would rather die to a boss many many times and waste hours than mindlessly grind

cunning geode
#

there is no grinding in doom 😎

proud vale
#

no grinding in Outer Wilds zote

shrewd surge
#

i'm worried there could be grinding in silksong

ocean shuttle
cunning geode
#

there is no grinding in doom.

#

how clearer could i be

charred pulsar
#

there is no grinding in doom.

#

just in case some folks in the back missed it

proud vale
#

What about lego star wars

shrewd surge
#

does true jedi award count?

charred pulsar
#

Benji and I going for all 11xx Kyber Bricks

proud vale
#

happy for you or sad that happened

#

I'm not sure what those are

cunning geode
#

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.

elfin badge
#

Damn it it’s like my hand got a mind of their own ordering more fangamer hk merch

wheat sail
#

👏 teamcherry

shrewd surge
#

on another topic, i heard you shouldn't play doom because there's too much grinding. do you think i should buy it anyway?

warm bone
#

doom 2016?

shrewd surge
warm bone
#

what?

cerulean sable
#

you grind in doom games, i thought they were linear FPS grubthink

cunning geode
#

what

warm bone
#

I was asking what doom you were referring too 🤦‍♂️

shrewd surge
#

no this joke is going wrong i was trying to do a funny like pls look ten messages up

cunning geode
#

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

cerulean sable
#

i slide on the ground and lift you the air before emptying my entire rifle at you and juggling you midair with it

cunning geode
#

i shoot shotgun

#

and the demon goes "ow"

#

fps at its finest

#

what

shrewd surge
#

honestly i don't know much about fps games, but from what i've seen and heard i'm not a huge fan

cunning geode
#

FPS is a super broad category for games

#

i think i can safely say about 80% are rubbish

ocean mulch
#

It means you're first person and you're shooting

#

As vague as other genre descriptions

shrewd surge
#

i think the closest i've played is portal

cunning geode
#

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

wheat sail

This was a triumph, I'm making a note here: Huge success

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.

i think even if they were drunk, unless they planned to do it it would still be an accident

opal geyser
#

That’s true. Poor wording on my part

#

Some people just need to be more rational.

shrewd surge
#

there are points in life when it is not a good idea to say "do a barrel roll"

opal geyser
#

Yeah pretty stupid stuff in my opinion. Any injury-inducing activity like that always seems irrational and pointless.

carmine wave
#

every day we are 86,400 seconds closer to silksong releasing

wheat sail
#

if it doesnt release then we were never actually getting closer to it

opal geyser
#

If so then we’re getting farther away from it

shrewd surge
#

quick somebody check!

opal geyser
wheat sail
shrewd surge
#

that must be it since steam still says the release date is "tba"

opal geyser
#

And closer and closer to our imminent deaths

opal geyser
shrewd surge
#

not on my wishlist. did it not always say that?

opal geyser
#

Curious

kind dove
#

silksong is actually the wait, were playing it rn

opal geyser
#

Silksong is easy then

shrewd surge
#

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

elfin badge
#

Didn’t leth say it was pretty much done but they just keep adding stuff

opal geyser
#

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.

chrome imp
#

You thought they would need a year to work on the game full time?

#

Well, I'm not gonna judge, it's just surprising

opal geyser
#

Pretty sure they didn’t start in 2019, and I was also a lot younger and foolish then. Oh how long it’s been.

opal geyser
elfin badge
#

The main reason people thought it would be soon was cause the Nintendo treehouse said coming soon

opal geyser
#

I heard Silksong started production after HK’s release, but it’s unsure

chrome imp
#

They didn't start in 2019, but they started working on it full time around then.

opal geyser
#

Sounds about right to me :)

chrome imp
#

Silksong was meant as a DLC, so they did have some things in order for it.

opal geyser
#

Indeed

near matrix
#

eh, it'll exist eventually

opal geyser
#

So will our death

wheat sail
#

Your lie in april

elfin badge
near matrix
chrome imp
#

I mean, it exists now. It's just not finished.

shrewd surge
#

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.

opal geyser
shrewd surge
#

not to say the updates are silly, just calling them a dlc is

chrome imp
#

Depends on how big they planned it, me thinks.

opal geyser
#

Methinks it probably doesn’t matter grubU

wheat sail
#

I think within the next 2 years at most

Games take about likr 4 years to make right

opal geyser
#

If they’re good games, yes

chrome imp
#

Entirely game dependant.

opal geyser
#

But really depends on the team too

chrome imp
#

Yes

wheat sail
#

depending on the game, I'd say from 2019 it could take to 2023

opal geyser
#

I wouldn’t be mad with 2023

wheat sail
#

I dont know their dev process though

shrewd surge
wheat sail
#

but I think a good amount of games take a few years anyways

opal geyser
#

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

shrewd surge
#

but don't quote me on that

opal geyser
#

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.

chrome imp
#

Good idea

opal geyser
#

And a lot more are going to join grubU

#

Definitely won’t be. Ss discussion will become a zoo.

#

Happyened

shrewd surge
#

i wonder how many category splits there'll be

#

i can predict help into hkhelp and sshelp

opal geyser
#

Careful, now

shrewd surge
#

oh i thought you meant moderation modifying makes more sense

opal geyser
#

Oh

#

Understood

shrewd surge
#

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

opal geyser
#

Approximately 287 days, 21 hours, 17 minutes, and 31 seconds, With 57 milliseconds

shrewd surge
#

good to know

chrome imp
#

I wonder if there will be a harder boss than NKG and PV in Silksong

opal geyser
#

I sure hope so

chrome imp
#

Me too

opal geyser
#

I want an impossible game

#

Steel soul wasn’t even enough of a challenge

chrome imp
#

The Dark Souls fanboy in me craves it

opal geyser
#

Ahh dark souls

#

What a masterpiece

shrewd surge
#

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.

opal geyser
#

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 yeeshaw

chrome imp

Good night
