sk-discussion

[coarse leaf]

We should have a spin off game that stars ass Jim

[hasty oar]

I should probably go to sleep too tbh

[wary imp]

Last night something happened that caused discord to go down for a short bit

Wait

[digital glen]

sleep well then Whee

[wary imp]

Nevermind

[wary imp]

That’s gonna be a mod

[jovial narwhal]

epic

[nimble pebble]

Epic

[hasty oar]

probably does not mean I will, I'll probably be awake for another hour at least

[nimble pebble]

Do 5C now

[crisp drift]

Time to mute you

[nimble pebble]

[hasty oar]

[jovial narwhal]

5 times less deaths than 3C lmao

[nimble pebble]

4C is good

[wary imp]

Less go, you did it

[serene chasm]

Idk. Its kinda chilly

[charred surge]

Was the discussion oxygen breathers. Random or actually ss stuff?

[digital glen]

My uncle left the gate slightly open once, and my dog escaped, when he does that he usually tries to come back, but this time he went to fight another big street dog, luckily I noticed and went to separate the fight, my dog is small so i had to pick him up, in the process the other dog trying to reach mine it bit me multiple times, my own dog in desperation also bit my hand while biting the air, i ran with my dog to my home and lost a sandal, but my dog wasn’t hurt very bad

[nimble pebble]

It's a Mountain Curly

It's always Chilly

[digital glen]

i like 4C

[serene chasm]

touche

[hasty oar]

I don't think anything coherent is being discussed atm

[vivid belfry]

I can probably come up with something if you want

[serene chasm]

spin the wheel

[wary imp]

Unless your in AZ, then it’s not always chilly

[charred surge]

Just wondering if there was any new juicy analysis/drama/anything of interest really

[digital glen]

sleep well for when you inevitably go to sleep

[charred surge]

YES, SPIN DA WEEL

[wary imp]

Especially in 120 degree weather

[nimble pebble]

My dog wants to throw hands with people or dogs when he's inside and sees them outside but the moment he goes outside he does not care it's so funny how nonchalant he is even if a giant dog comes towards him and barks or some shit

[charred surge]

Arizona just has a skill issue smh

[digital glen]

yeah that’s pretty common, still very funny

[wary imp]

Is the heat the issue, or the mountains

I see both as an issue

[digital glen]

skill issue is not thinking that GPZ is a S tier boss fight

[nimble pebble]

I agree

He's a little shit but I'm pretty decent at the fight

Still hate his guts though

[nimble pebble]

The Chaddest of dogs

[indigo nymph]

[wary imp]

Tomorrow’s temperature will have a high of 104

Not bad

[uncut citrus]

didnt even ate it all smh

[cerulean sable]

do you think silksong will transition to a light and black aesthetic or keep the red/orange fire for its title card

[serene chasm]

idk

[cerulean sable]

HK transitioned from
Blue > Purple (HD) > Red (TGT) > Light Blue (Lifeblood) > Yellow (Godmaster) then now to the current black/grey white

[south steppe]

i hope they keep the orange/red the title card was super pretty in the demo

[serene chasm]

Im sure there will be multiple title screens

[vivid belfry]

I think it's gonna keep the fire as the default at least

[wary imp]

Switch still has the lifeblood one

[vivid belfry]

all platforms still have the lifeblood one

[cerulean sable]

current one on steam

[south steppe]

the purple title screen is my fav

[cerulean sable]

really liked how HK's card evolved

[wary imp]

No, I mean as the main card

It hasn’t changed

[cerulean sable]

ahhhh

i just got super inspired with the white/golden/black aesthetic silksong fanart had

so was wondering if theyll ever go full Citadel aesthetic for the final card

this area's color grading in particular

[nimble pebble]

I agree

[vivid belfry]

yeah, this most recent trailer does put a lot of emphasis on gold and green

[nimble pebble]

Best Colour and Shade if you ask me

[vivid belfry]

hornet doesn't have a shade

[nimble pebble]

I meant Gold

[vivid belfry]

the currency system in this game is rosaries, not gold

[nimble pebble]

Gold, Silver and Bronze as well as Black, White and Grey are shades not Colours

[nimble pebble]

This comment seriously makes me think you're pulling my leg here

[vivid belfry]

can you send another message that's easier to misconstrue

[proud vale]

I love the bronze notes of the citadel, regal and steampunk at the same time

[distant crown]

hey ss chat what’s the topics?

[proud vale]

Also interesting how the shades of moss grotto subtly differ to that of green path, TC goes hard with their colour theory

[obsidian juniper]

hey chat
do you all have any hornet sticker i can slap in a google docs?

[proud vale]

[distant crown]

hey igna also no sorry

[silver oak]

Dogs don't have hands

[silver oak]

[nimble pebble]

It's an expression

[south steppe]

idk about subtly, moss grotto is bright lime green

[nimble pebble]

Outer Wilds is pog

[proud vale]

Pog wilds

[south steppe]

the clover area looks more akin to greenpath in style

[vivid belfry]

yeah, though there is a dank, darker mossy area in the new trailer that looks more similar to greenpath

[silver oak]

Dogs aren't expressions either

[nimble pebble]

Uh, her nail

[silver oak]

They're dogs

[vivid belfry]

where it transitions to the area with the pillars

[obsidian juniper]

that doesnt keep them from dreaming

[proud vale]

That’s true, kind of swampy

[feral current]

No

[distant crown]

yo guys do you think we fight the last judge in the citadel?

[south steppe]

probably left of the citadel

[nimble pebble]

Shut it you

[silver oak]

This area?

[nimble pebble]

I think close to the citadel, like he guards it

[proud vale]

My PROFILE PICTURE

[silver oak]

Clearly not, yours is facing the other way

[south steppe]

we see hornet enter the citadel from the right and there's sand on the ground that looks similar to the stuff from the sandy biome with enemies similar to last judge

[distant crown]

you know the floor in the shot of hornet entering the gilded city or citadel are has the same floor as the last judge boss arena (TLJ boss arena floor is sort of cracked but it is the same floor)

[coarse leaf]

hi chat

[distant crown]

hey Evan

[coarse leaf]

how it goes

[vivid belfry]

yeah, and the shot with the updrafts

[distant crown]

this area looks like it could be between moss grotto and FOB

[silver oak]

Yah I can see that as being part of forest of bones

[distant crown]

I just beat Celeste in 1 second

and there’s ants in the area

[south steppe]

we know this area is right of the lace arena in deep docks though

[distant crown]

yeah that’s is true

[silver oak]

We've seen stuff like it before, like this shot from EDGE

[distant crown]

yeah it was my favorite area when I first saw it

[south steppe]

unless there are two grass areas

[digital glen]

That’s true

[silver oak]

It looks similar enough to be the same area

[digital glen]

I still think that bug looks weird for some reason

[coarse leaf]

rightright

[proud vale]

I love how the colours are a bit more saturated, very close to greenpath for sure but certainly a little more pale and arid than humid

[silver oak]

If they're different that's just bad area design by TC

[coarse leaf]

how are you guys today

[cerulean sable]

honestly the green is so good in Silksong

[distant crown]

yeah I was just about to say that the grass area in the trailer looks a bit less light than the edge screenshot but that could be lighting from the magazine

[cerulean sable]

maybe its just the years of playing but i get why people would say the game is too "blue" at times

[distant crown]

yes bro

[cerulean sable]

even Greenpath was still kinda blue to some extent

[distant crown]

hk has a lot of blue

[digital glen]

green, green, what’s your problem green

[cerulean sable]

i mean i get it, dead kingdom after all

[coarse leaf]

hi perukas

[distant crown]

doin good today

[cerulean sable]

but its great to see how lush SS is

plus the color range will help Ari with showing more details

[distant crown]

have you seen how beautiful the marsh area is?

[silver oak]

Even WP had a blueish tint

[cerulean sable]

really

[distant crown]

it did?

[coarse leaf]

well i have so much work to do so i better be off, cya

[distant crown]

bye evan

[silver oak]

I really hope they still keep a bit of visual boldness in the areas

[coarse leaf]

setting up for a 230 tribute hunger game ahhhh

[silver oak]

You can tell they've toned it down a ton from the trailers

[digital glen]

good luck!

[south steppe]

#hk-meme

[coarse leaf]

are.. you.. gonna be there? for it? for you know what?

[silver oak]

late but I assume you mean from this shot?

[distant crown]

this is most definitely after the bell

[serene chasm]

Memes were never alliwed

[digital glen]

I will probably be sleeping by then

[silver oak]

I don't think it was ever a place to just dump random memes

[south steppe]

yep, the bit on the left is the same exit as the exit from the lace fight in the demo

[silver oak]

nice catch, I wouldn't have seen that

[south steppe]

pretty much the only 100% confirmed transition between areas

[trim estuary]

I wonder if the blue lake has a blue tint

[digital glen]

Which is... sad

[coarse leaf]

if you wake up early enough i might still be doing it xd.. it could take hours

anyways everything will be archived (it should onnly take an hour or so to look through the archive) so please take a look after its over

[distant crown]

could that sign where hornet is walking to be like the pilgrims way?

[silver oak]

For reference this is the first lace arena, you can see the bushes on the right

[serene chasm]

That is assume that the demo is 1:1 with the full game

[trim estuary]

Perhaps the archives are incomplete

[coarse leaf]

sorry wtf is that text 💀

[distant crown]

ywah

[coarse leaf]

wdym? they wont be lol

[silver oak]

just lace things

[coarse leaf]

will YOU be there.. for it? zip?

[serene chasm]

Lace thinks Hornet is delicious

[trim estuary]

Uh

[ripe kettle]

what is "it"

[serene chasm]

Not that complicated

[proud vale]

I feel like it's literally the difference in saturation, it can inform the temperature, humidity, and just general vibe of the area

[distant crown]

she eats spiders (not good)

[coarse leaf]

nothing

[coarse leaf]

||the hg you dolt||

[trim estuary]

Most likely

[coarse leaf]

yayy

[digital glen]

I’ll probably take my chance and sleep the maximum i can, but im gonna check out the archive definitely. Hope y’all have fun m

[proud vale]

Hey what happened in the xbox demo event thing guys??

[serene chasm]

Nothing

[trim estuary]

[digital glen]

Anyway, im going to get some well deserved sleep, cya everyone

[silver oak]

[coarse leaf]

alright thank yousss

[serene chasm]

Like seriously. Why would anyone think we would get a demo

[coarse leaf]

alright im off fr this time, i got 170 tributes to enter into hunger games sim and i have 2 hours

cyaaaaaaaaaa best channel in the world

[serene chasm]

He's finally lost it

[trim estuary]

Ikr ||||

[obsidian juniper]

good knight evan

[coarse leaf]

hey wtf bro

[coarse leaf]

im not sleeping for like 7 hours (gonna be a long night, hunger game)

[silver oak]

I was watching the fight and I was like "damn the lace music is really good, I wonder if anyone's recreated it on yt or something" and then I remembered that it has indeed been posted to Youtube, by Christopher Larkin

[nimble pebble]

I just took a Gravol hopefully it kicks in before I throw up

[silver oak]

ooh are you feeling sick?

[cerulean sable]

honestly my only issue with the Xbox trailer is that they couldve used a dubstep glitch mob pop rap remix instead

[nimble pebble]

[silver oak]

that sucks hope you feel better

[nimble pebble]

Yeah

[cerulean sable]

tf is gravol

[nimble pebble]

Thank you

[silver oak]

you forgot bass boosted

[nimble pebble]

Brand name for an anti-nausea medication

[vivid belfry]

me

[proud vale]

It sounds like a gravy brand

Shadow Gravol

[nimble pebble]

Pretty common brand around here

[silver oak]

omg

[cerulean sable]

Trailer: "Vanquish your foes in lethal acrobatic combat in a Haunted land"
The song" YEAH YEAH WE TAKING IT BACK, JUST DID XANNAX WITH MIGOS AND THE MACK"

[obsidian juniper]

oh

[cerulean sable]

im fucking looking at you Redfall\

[serene chasm]

Im just kidding

[nimble pebble]

Dimenhydrinate, sold under the brand name Dramamine

Perhaps this rings a bell

[cerulean sable]

i c

[silver oak]

That's why I'm bringing it back, bringing it back (Uh) That's why I'm flinging the track, like I'm swinging it back That's why I'm bringing it back, bringing it back (Uh) That's why I'm fly, fling it, fling it, fling it in the act That's why I'm bringing it back, bringing it back (Uh) That's why I'm flinging the track, like I'm swinging it back That's why I'm bringing it back Bringing it back, back, back, back, back, back, back, b-b back (Killerbeast)

Lyrics to Camellia - Killerbeast

[distant crown]

has anyone mentioned the Golden road that we see in different areas of Pharloom?

[south steppe]

what golden road? i dont think ive noticed such a thing

[cerulean sable]

FT CARDBI B, WIZ KHALIFA, IMAGINE DRAGONS, K'DA AND PAUL MCARTNEY

[serene chasm]

No offense to anyone but Redfall looks kinda lame

[silver oak]

most indeedified

they each sing one word in a round

[distant crown]

we see it in the marsh area, in the coral area and in forest of bones

[south steppe]

wait in the coral area?

[distant crown]

yup

[south steppe]

arent there like 3 screenshots weve seen of the coral area?

[distant crown]

in edge magazine

[silver oak]

We saw it in the trailer 3 times I think

[maiden crystal]

coral area has the super secret spoilery lore

[distant crown]

the Golden road

[silver oak]

We also saw it once in EDGE

[south steppe]

there was a golden guy but i dont think anything else was gold

[nimble pebble]

Coral Warlord is in Coral forest

[distant crown]

coral gods created Pharloom???

[silver oak]

*the first trailer

[cerulean sable]

the reaction to it to the majority of the streamers i watched:

"Ok this looks like a horror coop game"
"Oh uhh theres now skill trees"
"This trailer is taking too long"
"Its L4D with vampires"

[silver oak]

There are games that deserve long trailers and Redfall is not one of them

Then again, neither is silksong so it doesn't really mean anything

[south steppe]

oh it actually is pretty gold, i think that has more to do with it being below the sandy area with the vault though

[proud vale]

Lobster Warlord is the boss I'm stuck on atm

[south steppe]

do you remember where the marsh one and the fob one were from?

[distant crown]

yup but I can’t get an image of it just now

in the first silksong trailer we see the Golden road in forest of bones

[nimble pebble]

Everyone calls him by his Nickname "Coral Warlord" because he's in Coral forest smh

I just beat Champions road so I can help out if you want

[silver oak]

This is under the assumption that he is the warlord in the soaring warlord's tower

[south steppe]

isnt the warlords tower confirmed to be in greymoor

with the scissor fellas

[proud vale]

Cheers man, need help with Sherma Prime Phase 2 as well

[proud vale]

I think that's right

[nimble pebble]

Nah, He's just warlord of the Coral tower

[proud vale]

Greymoor tower, then sudden and harsh transition to the coral area

[fiery coral]

Yeah assist me too pls

I'm at the Songshrine Transept at the moment, put down your sign somewhere there

[nimble pebble]

Yeah so like, You have to dodge his spinning shawblade attack then you can punish him afterwards best place you can do damage since he attacks a lot leaving little openings but if you can take advantage of small opening I recommend getting jabs in during pinshot attacks and the spiral hookshock attack tools might help if you have some long range ones but don't over use them and run out mid fight

[distant crown]

imagine greymoor out friendly neighborhood normal dark greymoor just transitions to light colorful coral out of nowhere

[nimble pebble]

What do you need help with here

[silver oak]

Found it
It doesn't specify where it is

This is from the reveal post, before they had revealed the name of greymoor

[cerulean sable]

what if massive void tentacles just come out of sherma's eyes with a demonic voice starts screaming "I SENSE THE BLOOD THE FALSE MONARCH. THE PALE CHILD MUST DIE AND AVENGE THE CHILDREN OF THE ABYSS" and grows Doc Oct style void tentacles on their back that carries them

not a fan but its there

[serene chasm]

ok

[silver oak]

@south steppe

[distant crown]

mods more like mods

[silver oak]

#archived-modding-help

[distant crown]

that channel scares me

[fiery coral]

Wait you haven't discovered th- you know what, no spoilers 🤐

Just saying, go north of the Songshrine Transept, you'll find a low enough building to parkour up onto the roof, then break the west-facing window there and drop down

[nimble pebble]

What's the first skin Modders make besides tall knight

[nimble pebble]

Ah, I don't think I found that secret yet thank you, when I go there I'll let you know if I find something out that will help

[serene chasm]

Lace skin

[silver oak]

This is still really funny to me

[serene chasm]

update discord

[nimble pebble]

I was hoping for BEEnet Steelnet (Steal creations Hornet) Herahnet (Herah Hornet)

[mint valve]

any silksong

[silver oak]

?sspsa

[thin zephyr]

Reminder: The latest news for both Hollow Knight and Silksong is in #hk-announcements.
Check the pinned messages for more information, including a FAQ.

[mint valve]

Of course. we only have a .28% for silksong to come out today

[serene chasm]

missing a few zeroes

[silver oak]

1 hour left for silksong to release guys !!!

[mint valve]

The math says other wise

[silver oak]

Math is wrong

[serene chasm]

some idiot will believe you

[silver oak]

It's funnier that way

[south steppe]

😱 no way

[serene chasm]

and agreed. Math is always wrong

[nimble pebble]

Logic dictates that within 12 months is anytime between now and June 12th 2023

[south steppe]

13th

[nimble pebble]

So while it's extremely unlikely for it to come out any time before like November it's still possible

[serene chasm]

TC on June 11th, 2023: HOLY SHIT WE THOUGHT OF THE COOLEST AREA EVER! DELAYING THE GAME

[bleak musk]

i doubt it

[nimble pebble]

At that point they'd just make DLC

[south steppe]

kinda hope so tbh, the more content the better imo

[silver oak]

They thought about it, but ultimately decided to cut it

[mint valve]

I would be so mad if they delayed silksong

[south steppe]

they wont

people would lose their minds if that happened lol

[distant crown]

Ari’s art style is so cool bro seriously!

[nimble pebble]

Pretty sure this thing is chalk full of content already

[serene chasm]

cant delay a game if it doesnt have a release date 👈

[nimble pebble]

It has a release window

So it technically does have one

[silver oak]

that is indirectly confirmed by TC in 2 places

[south steppe]

would xbox have tweeted that if they were not 100% sure about silksong?

i find that highly unlikely

[uncut citrus]

they arent 100% sure, TC can always just delay it

[coarse leaf]

hunger games prep is going well!!! 108/230 tributes are in so far

[distant crown]

sherma skin

[south steppe]

well besides any unexpected delays obvi

[nimble pebble]

They never said that

[mint valve]

Technically a release date has a day, month and year which a release window doesn't have. so technically it doesn't have one

[nimble pebble]

Simo said that what Xbox said was true

He never said TC wasn't sure

[uncut citrus]

im
im talking about this message

[frozen bloom]

Guys
Important question
Can you guys hum the lace fight music?

[nimble pebble]

If it has a release window the last plausible day in the release window is the last possible release date

[silver oak]

No but I can do bonebottom

[nimble pebble]

I can hum the Lace theme

[silver oak]

Actually at this point can probably do lace as well

[bleak musk]

pessimism is lame let's just be happy

[nimble pebble]

Why be pessimistic we finally have a reason to be excited, Silksong in a year or less

[bleak musk]

we just got the biggest news in about 3 years, we have a window of release, why are people actively trying to find things to be upset over

[distant crown]

yes fully

[frozen bloom]

Ooh I love your pfp

[nimble pebble]

Thank you

It's custom made

[silver oak]

Would people say the trailer is bigger than EDGE?

[nimble pebble]

I would say so

[silver oak]

Not including the release window news

[frozen bloom]

It does cover a lot more bosses and tools

[silver oak]

That's true

[south steppe]

EDGE can tell us more about the game generally though, the trailer is mostly just some clips of areas and bosses

[serene chasm]

Edge had a lot of info, but the trailer reached more people

[rustic quail]

threehouse and hobby consolas

[silver oak]

I think the main difference is EDGE covered a lot of the mechanics and design decisions, and in the trailer we got to see those mechanics used

[fiery coral]

Omitting the most significant part

[silver oak]

Yeah with that it's easily more important

[rustic quail]

how botu yoou edge deez-

[silver oak]

But I'd count it as different newses

[south steppe]

although this trailer showed off a lot of how hornets moveset will work which is super cool

[rustic quail]

yknow for all we know silkdong is coming out tomorrow and we wouldnt know

[bleak musk]

yes.

[distant crown]

there is so much diversity in hornet’s moveset!

[rustic quail]

how much larger do yall think pharlooms is than hallownest

since it obv is just how much more

[silver oak]

I'd say no more than 1.5x the size

[bleak musk]

at most, 2x

[distant crown]

probably twice the size

[south steppe]

probably about 1.3x

[silver oak]

HK is already absolutely massive

[wary imp]

I’d say about maybe close to 2 times bigger to account for hornets move set

[distant crown]

yeah

[serene chasm]

Over 16x the detail

[rustic quail]

my bet is about 1.5 - 2x bigger

[uncut citrus]

definitely

[silver oak]

get out of here todd

[south steppe]

we do know there are over double the benches than in hollow knight though

[rustic quail]

but i was moreso talking about content not size to account for moveset

[silver oak]

this is a todd-free zone

[wary imp]

Well In that case, about 1.5 times bigger

[distant crown]

hornet has a lot of abilities and moves seriously how op is she?

[uncut citrus]

we got way more different images than Edge, and like actual stuff (tools, abilities, enemies, bosses)
even if we didnt get text with it explaining stuff

[rustic quail]

silksong's been being worked on for over 2x longer than hollow knight so.. ?

[uncut citrus]

Hm

[rustic quail]

quality over quantity?

[silver oak]

Lots of abilities sure, but she can only use a select few at once

[fiery coral]

SIXTEEN TIMES TH- darn it Curly made that joke

[serene chasm]

I am not a Todd. My name is Todarto Howardo! I know nothing of this Todd. But you should buy Skyrim

[wary imp]

That doesn’t necessarily mean anything

[nimble pebble]

I think people were just extra Grumpy between Edge and Xbox Trailer because COVID made the 1 and a half years feel like 5

[wary imp]

When HK was in production, Covid wasn’t around

[south steppe]

i dont think thats the case

[bleak musk]

yeah hk didn't have COVID to worry about

[nimble pebble]

COVID never effected them though

They said so themselves

[serene chasm]

Covid didnt exist. Then HK came out. Now Covid does. HK cause Covid

[uncut citrus]

indeed
but that was still at the start of covid
time passed since there and covid's still there
maybe it affected them since then

[wary imp]

I won’t believe it

[cerulean sable]

ok one of the complaints ive seen about HK is that "you spend 10 minutes navigating towards this area only to realize its a dead end with an ability you dont have yet before needing to backtrack for 10 minutes more"

and this coming from people whos played other metroidvanias

[distant crown]

yeah but with the crests and tools and other abilities it’s gonna be really easy for hornet to defeat bosses, get through challenges and aqcuire new things

[nimble pebble]

It hasn't, they're a small company with minimal workers they've always been under the maximum office worker limit and they're pretty careful, if you want I can ask Simo or one of the other playtesters again if you want but I doubt the answer would change

[rustic quail]

the infection? or was that the vaccine? microchips?? is the government the radiance? did the government make the sun?

maybe orange man was right... WAIT HE'S ORANG

[nimble pebble]

Why are they complaining if they've played other Metroidvanias, they know that's how they work, that's stupid

[serene chasm]

The funny thing about this complaint is that rarely happens, and almost no area sends you far off into a direction and then asks for a specific item to go further. Its like 1 room out of the way at most

[bleak musk]

im so glad stuff like HK has maps, I suck at directions

[rustic quail]

prob talking about howling cliffs baldur shell

[nimble pebble]

I also get lost in games specifically 3D games, I'm not even scared in Horror games just lost

[proud vale]

Due to this, I'm keen to keep a diary for SS, not only marking points of interest using map markers, but writing an entry about them in this external diary (as if I'm an actual explorer)

[rustic quail]

"Orange's Journal

[fiery coral]

[silver oak]

that took too long because my computer decided to change how it edited files

[bleak musk]

y'all think Silksong will have needle damage upgrades? Almost feels like they don't need it

[silver oak]

thanks windows

[nimble pebble]

I have a mostly unused Journal maybe I'll make Pillow's Journal

That's Unique

[proud vale]

I thought it would be a given, including tool damage upgrades

[silver oak]

I didn't even ping curly jeez

[bleak musk]

idk I feel like a lack of damage upgrades would force more strategy

[fiery coral]

But balance

[bleak musk]

true

[fiery coral]

You don't want to have to smack basic enemies 10 times

[proud vale]

I think movesets of the boss will force strategy, not health pool. For example you can't reliably use the straight pin against lace as she just deflects it

[bleak musk]

actually

[uncut canyon]

Maybe different crests deal different amounts of damage.

[bleak musk]

what do you guys think they'll change in silk soul mode?

[fiery coral]

on the bright side we haven't really had great games with major balancing issues right haha 😅 😅

[silver oak]

stay mad

[proud vale]

Hollow Kni-

[fiery coral]

Oh right HK had the charm problem

[proud vale]

Probably the base health pool of all enemies, and hopefully the movesets of most bosses

[silver oak]

You'll never catch me alive

[fiery coral]

[proud vale]

yeah more just the spellspam problem

[nimble pebble]

Tbf Unique that's what happens when you add a new mechanic 2 months before launch

A shame Glory charms didn't get added

Though I guess it would have been too op

[proud vale]

Nailmaster's glory?

[silver oak]

Anyway, I'll be sleeping now

[fiery coral]

Honestly in my time with the game I never actually found myself going 'man these charms are overpowered they should fix it' or something

[silver oak]

Someone tell curly about my amazing edit when he gets back

[fiery coral]

Only when I came here did I first read about the issue

the game I had in mind was Elden Ring

[nimble pebble]

I think the issue lies more in some are pretty broken and then the rest are hot garbage

[proud vale]

Yeah same, I think it more applied to the people who went soul builds exclusively

[fiery coral]

@serene chasm

[nimble pebble]

You know, Lack of Balance

[cerulean sable]

the usual thing i see is that HK is a bit more uhhh "extreme" with that part

thats how they word it at least

granted i had a similar issue with Haiku the Robot (which was a pretty good game personally) but the aesthetics eventually feel flat

as is the issue with retro games aesthetics for me

tho SS hopefully shouldnt have this issue anymore with a more robust movement system

[marble yoke]

hello Silksong believers

[marble yoke]

I don’t mind the sort of retro vibe. Katana Zero for me nails it perfectly

[cerulean sable]

speaking of map, i actually FEEL like were gonna see a map art overhaul instead of the same boxy approach HK had

[marble yoke]

That’d be sick

[cerulean sable]

what i mean is the BG is more or less like this

[nimble pebble]

I feel if you're going to go for a more classic style it needs more refinement than just the generic style like, Celeste, Enter The Gungeon, and Blasphemous have very refined pixel art that doesn't feel old

[south steppe]

i dont think thats true for most of the game, the ancient basin is pretty much the only area you can go that feels empty when you dont have the right ability

[silver oak]

From what graig's said on the matter it seems likely

[marble yoke]

Oh then KZ is nothing like this then😂

[cerulean sable]

it gets kinda exhausting for me personally 🥴

[proud vale]

Yeah I think it's a missed opportunity to not have the boss actually STAND OUT, they literally look like they could just be in the background

[cerulean sable]

when didhe say that again?

[nimble pebble]

Those 3 games are prime examples of going with something retro but is well designed

[silver oak]

why is the last one so small

[marble yoke]

Yeah it looks very old

[cerulean sable]

its a new game actually 🥴

[silver oak]

oh god putting me on the spot here

[cerulean sable]

i copied it from the thubmnail before it loaded properly

[proud vale]

God has done no such thing

[marble yoke]

Katana Zero got good enough backgrounds imo

[cerulean sable]

the question is however, HOW detailed is the new map going to be

[silver oak]

@cerulean sable here

[cerulean sable]

ok i take back what i said, now that i think about it, my issue more in Haiku is minimalistic it was

ok now i remember

[silver oak]

You were there

[cerulean sable]

yeye

[marble yoke]

Oh ok

[proud vale]

I'm so interested in what the many backgrounds of SS areas are going to hide

[nimble pebble]

Your mom

[marble yoke]

I mean, we got the bug statues from HK back in Silksong

[silver oak]

We'll have years and years to take each and every one of them apart

[proud vale]

Like how mossbag spotted one of the sillhouettes of a boss that was shown in a blog post i one of the backgrounds

[cerulean sable]

just reduce the aggressive bluring (which apparently some of it were artifacts from bad recording and/or the bg in the xbox screenies was older hence the reduced details)

[uncut citrus]

i mean of course the map wont look like that, in the way that yeah, not all areas will be touching eachother and that like square
i think thats what Graig meant by it being so bland

[marble yoke]

forgot about that tbh

[silver oak]

give us a slider TC please 🥺

🙏

[serene chasm]

Background blur?

[uncut citrus]

Necro werent you going to

sleep

[cerulean sable]

like would they still do the same style as this

[silver oak]

Yeah I lied

[uncut citrus]

[cerulean sable]

the aggressive blur BG

[uncut citrus]

Neco was going to aggressively blur some background indeed!

[proud vale]

Like they've actually started hiding some very significant things within backgrounds

[silver oak]

yeah he could have just meant more interesting as in less boxy, the areas themselves look cooler

[silent meteor]

The floor's smaller

[cerulean sable]

i think a hybrid system of having it detailed to while functional is the best way, like adding an art shell surrounding the soul sanctum for example instead of blending in with the rest of the city (like on the sides of it, there would be faint tower wall drawing

that type of shit

[nimble pebble]

It moves too

[serene chasm]

Bring back the old HK map

[cerulean sable]

One example I really like is Kingdom Come Deliverances map, where the world map looks like this, but if you zoom in it has this different more detailed map version

[coarse leaf]

Godseeker

[nimble pebble]

It actually looks like one of the vault keepers

[serene chasm]

Being able to zoom in on the map does seem like a neat idea

[nimble pebble]

From the 165 enemy update

[bleak musk]

i hope Silksong

[cerulean sable]

well you kinda do that in HK already, its more of "how detailed" will they go

i doubt theyll make it like super detailed like in KCD

[serene chasm]

The map is actually just a 3D version on the world

[south steppe]

the map is an entire new silksong

[coarse leaf]

The map is actually just a hologram

[warped umbra]

mood

[still owl]

dont forget HK had a blur option if you didnt mention that

[silent meteor]

I never heard that?

[coarse leaf]

Blur option?

[still owl]

go check, it does! and theres kinda proof SS has it at max if you check the xbox screenshots vs the shots in the trailer

more blur on the trailer.

[serene chasm]

Pretty good band. Song 2 is a bit overrated but still fun to listen to

[still owl]

so yeah this def isnt the "Absolute" its an option

[south steppe]

blur option

[wheat sail]

no option

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, it reminds me of this:
https://youtu.be/WdKA8PG_Np0

[still owl]

option

[cerulean sable]

im bad at art but when i meant stylized, like there would be "extra' art details in the non nonnavigatable sections just to flesh it out instead of all of it being boxes

i know i know "clarity and function over aesthetics" but surely there has to be a good middle ground to reach those 2 without ending up cluttering the view of the map or being plain boxes

[tardy folio]

not team cherry laughing at the community with that example 😭

[brave stone]

Leth gets all the emails right?

[serene chasm]

The issue with that is that they would have to be super careful in making sure the player knew that that was just background stuff and they cant go there

[cerulean sable]

yeah like i mentioned

[serene chasm]

sorry. Missed that part

[silent meteor]

The telescope is actually looking at walls

[south steppe]

tbh i really like how the hk map looks, doesnt look plain at all

[cerulean sable]

i guess you can go with the approach of having stronger outline

[serene chasm]

Stupid Lurien

[silent meteor]

Giant box

The telescope you were looking is just a photo

[serene chasm]

I really dont think they need to reinvent the wheel of the map in SS. I would however like to see more points of interest, and have NPCs talk about them.

[cerulean sable]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/fpajxz/oc_i_made_a_detailed_map_of_the_city_of_tears/

i think what im trying to say here is

is the current setup good? yes
but can it be better? imo yes

[silent meteor]

I really wish there'll be a dialogue tree in SS, but I'll doubt it'll happened

[cerulean sable]

again change for the sake of change is bad yes

but doesnt mean you SHOULDNT improve it

[serene chasm]

I do think that map is really cool looking

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, it looks something that I would see in a comic book

[uncut citrus]

"about me" and status checks out, Taco

[warped umbra]

that reminds me, wasn't there like a detailed zoomable version of the hk map being made

[coarse leaf]

Taco playing too much Don't Starve

[cerulean sable]

brb gotta remind my friend that making a circle of trees around of base and then burning it to deter enemies only to end up burning our entire base, is a legitimate and effective strategy

[serene chasm]

https://www.hallownest.net/

[south steppe]

but if its this pretty i might actually have to buy a map

[atomic swift]

Silk
Song
Soon

My body is ready

[cerulean sable]

another thing

should the compass be given to you at the start

[silver oak]

Really, the perfect use for the hallownest.net url

[nimble pebble]

That's way too much work, work better suited for something more important

[coarse leaf]

Yeah

[atomic swift]

Wayward compass 6 notches my beloved

[coarse leaf]

There's not much reason to not to

[serene chasm]

no compass ever

[uncut citrus]

Is hornet smart enough to know where she is?

[silver oak]

No but it should be free and toggalable

[coarse leaf]

If a hollow shell can know that, of course a spider can

[silver oak]

I like the idea of running around at the start a little bit blind

[uncut citrus]

TK cant know, thats why it needs a compass

[south steppe]

imma just not buy a map anyway

[tall juniper]

the knight isnt hollow. fight me

[silver oak]

Then again, you could argue that that’s when the compass is needed most for new players

[warped umbra]

honestly the hk map is pretty huge to me so im excited that the ss map is seemingly bigger according to stuff ive heard

[uncut citrus]

Thats common knowledge

[nimble pebble]

We don't have to, that's just a fact

[coarse leaf]

That's like saying "Oh, the Knight without the hollow word in it isn't hollow!"

[serene chasm]

I really want to draw my own maps for SS but I also want to talk to Shakra

[silver oak]

You gotta at least talk to shakra

[south steppe]

nah

[tall juniper]

come on i just wanted to fight someone. 3am behind the arbys dumpster

[silver oak]

Well, you can talk to corny without buying stuff

[coarse leaf]

Actually, I would love to draw Silksong's map on actual paper!

[uncut citrus]

3am's in a while

[serene chasm]

I guess thats true

[tall juniper]

4 hours

[silver oak]

No reason to assume you can’t do the same for Shakra

[uncut citrus]

for me its in a while

[coarse leaf]

That would be very cool, besides it being useless

[silent meteor]

Demmmm look at dis

[coarse leaf]

Also, Reeves, go sleep

[serene chasm]

Im sure after the 4th time talking to her she'll get mad that I dont buy her maps and attack me

[tall juniper]

well we fight in 4 hours, whats that like, 5 pm for you?

[uncut citrus]

Yo it looks so cool

[silver oak]

This seems like an awesome idea that would be terrible in practice

[coarse leaf]

Exactly, it's perfect!

[uncut citrus]

best map ive seen so far

no bias

[cerulean sable]

like theres ideas

what if you toggle the compass on for less than 5 in game minutes you get an achievement for navigation expertise

or some shit like that

[uncut citrus]

also the quality here hurts me

[silver oak]

I’d be down

[cerulean sable]

kinda like how you get an achievemnt in Silent Hill Origin for using the flashlight for less than 2 hours

[silver oak]

I don’t think I’ll be playing with a compass anyway

[serene chasm]

same

[coarse leaf]

But really, ig it would be cool if you use it for some sort of "decoration", besides of that? Totally useless!

[uncut citrus]

btw i gave you guys that if you want to move some of them areas around or add some with the base already there

[coarse leaf]

I could say the same thing about posters tbh

[coarse leaf]

7 hours*

[silver oak]

Especially if you’re trying to do it during your first playthrough

[tall juniper]

I am one of those plebs who looked up shit on the HK wiki, so i spoiled myself through the whole thing. Cant do that in silksong so hopefully the experience i got in hollow knight helps me here

[coarse leaf]

Who's insane enough to do that while doing your first playthrough?

[silver oak]

You

[coarse leaf]

Exactly!

Mind you, I won't do that

[silver oak]

Hello unique

[fiery coral]

Aw

[fiery coral]

[coarse leaf]

same

[nimble pebble]

Hello Unique

[coarse leaf]

On my first playthrough

[silver oak]

I said I was going to bed but unfortunately I was wrong

[uncut citrus]

now im tempted to do

[coarse leaf]

If I do some fan-map irl of sorts, I will do after I complete my first playthrough

[fiery coral]

And what time is it for you

[coarse leaf]

And then use glue to stuck it in my wall

[silver oak]

Just before midnight

[fiery coral]

alright acceptable

[coarse leaf]

Just to remind me of the "I waited for 4 years just to do that" thingy

[fiery coral]

Midnight, though

Bedtime

[coarse leaf]

I'll glue that into my wall!

Also, I thought that was something out from the Goofy movie for some reason

[silver oak]

Parappa the Rapper drip

[uncut citrus]

why wait?

[coarse leaf]

Because it gets outdated fairly fast, don't you think so?

[silver oak]

I waited 15 seconds to do this

[fiery coral]

wait is the slowmode 15 seconds

[coarse leaf]

No?

[silver oak]

No still 5

[fiery coral]

ah

[uncut citrus]

unless if you are me and have a 100% accurate map before the game releases

[charred surge]

20 minute slow mode when

[fiery coral]

yeah this surprised me 🥴

[serene chasm]

look how out of touch the mods are

[fiery coral]

Nooo I thought it was 5 but then Necro said he waited 15

[silver oak]

You’re playing a dangerous game

[tall juniper]

test

[coarse leaf]

It seems like we have the protagonist to the new Back in the Future reboot movie

[fiery coral]

Your wish is my command!

[tall juniper]

test 2

[silver oak]

[tall juniper]

yep 15 seconds

[serene chasm]

did he do it?

[fiery coral]

no

[serene chasm]

aww

[coarse leaf]

Reeves with the funny fast car, traveling time and space

[coarse leaf]

Wait for the Xenoblade Direct and we'll soon see that

[charred surge]

Ok so what is this emote referencing because I feel like it’s referencing something

[coarse leaf]

It's referencing this channel as a whole

[silver oak]

is a reference to

[coarse leaf]

Every thing we see here, we have this exact expression in our faces!

[fiery coral]

*we have the exact face, overall

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, we're just like Kirby bosses, an eye

[serene chasm]

all your faces are mine

[charred surge]

I’ve seen that face somewhere before, funnily enough also in hk for the hwurmp in a twitch mod or sumn is some skurry vids

What is U

[fiery coral]

Baba is U

[coarse leaf]

Here comes the masked person!

Stealing everyone's faces to make a powerful mask!

[silver oak]

Reference to

[charred surge]

there has to be more

[coarse leaf]

U is referring to the Wii U, the good ol' times

[uncut citrus]

[coarse leaf]

You know, Hollow U should be a thing

[charred surge]

Cat

[uncut citrus]

the

we are going to
beat you to death

gang

[fiery coral]

@charred surge the earlier remark was in reference to this moment by the way

[coarse leaf]

The "Oh no, that person has 200+ messages in #hk-meme" gang

[serene chasm]

Your face. Give it to me

[charred surge]

Have I awakened something terrible

[tranquil zodiac]

has the date of the next nintendo direct been confirmed?

[fiery coral]

Hand it over, that thing

[coarse leaf]

How is that considered a children's show?

[charred surge]

I love atlatl 💖

[coarse leaf]

Also, I know someone with 200+ messages in #hk-meme

[charred surge]

Sometimes children need to git gud

[charred surge]

Me

[silver oak]

atla isn’t really a children’s show by the end

[coarse leaf]

Necro, explain yourself

[serene chasm]

I mean what do we consider children here?

[silver oak]

I made that meme

[coarse leaf]

Everyone below 13

[silver oak]

No that was funny

Put it back

[charred surge]

Targets

[rustic quail]

wait no

[serene chasm]

I would say its ok for them. Like I think atla is suitable for 10+

[coarse leaf]

I mean, Courage was recommended for all ages, so

[serene chasm]

that was back in the day when children werent cowards

[silver oak]

You can show the goriest shit imaginable to a newborn and they’re not gonna give a shit

[charred surge]

I’ve never watched Courage the Cowardly Dog ever and more or less all I know is the one meme where the old guy goes “stupid dog I’m ballin’”

[coarse leaf]

Isn't that Avatar from like, 2005 tho?

[uncut citrus]

What about the one under it?

Tell me Necro

what about the one under it?

[tall juniper]

or remember it\

[fiery coral]

He made that too

[serene chasm]

Is it that old? I only watched it recently

[silver oak]

This is horrible parenting advice btw

[uncut citrus]

Even worst

[silver oak]

I take full credit for me when beans

[nimble pebble]

The Blue people movie?

[charred surge]

Choose your fighter, beans or Ass Jgunshot

[serene chasm]

They will probably give a shit. and it will be gross and stinky

[coarse leaf]

I'm pretty sure it is kinda old, also, Courage was from like, 1999, so it would be 6 years apart from Avatar

[charred surge]

The Last Airbender

[coarse leaf]

Also, how does Unique have more messages than Reeves in #hk-meme?

[coarse leaf]

Oh yeah, isn't it getting a sequel?

[uncut citrus]

dont forget most of mines are original

(which in some cases doesnt make it any better)

[silver oak]

Curse of being terminally online

[nimble pebble]

Yeah it's from the Early 2000's a real Master piece, I hope they animate post war ATLA since it's a pretty interesting storyline, short stories of some of the novels would be cool as well like the Kyoshi Novels

[silver oak]

You’re too good for us unique

[coarse leaf]

Unique, how could you?!

[silver oak]

We already established that I made me when beans

[coarse leaf]

Idk if that's a good reputation to uphold

[silver oak]

Unique has posted one image in #hk-meme and it is this

[coarse leaf]

Zote is looking like an ant

[uncut citrus]

just like me and aluo for

[silver oak]

Bans all around

[coarse leaf]

The HK-Meme gang but it actually exists

[uncut citrus]

criminal cooperation

[silver oak]

lmao

[coarse leaf]

For some reason, that sounds like a name that TC would use for some random NPC

[silver oak]

It’s a city in Russia

[charred surge]

Nailsage Zote

[olive bobcat]

Collaborative effort

[silver oak]

Geography knowledge 4 the win

[tiny glen]

The holy creator of

[serene chasm]

did you know that or did you look it up?

[silver oak]

No I knew it

[coarse leaf]

Sure, Necro, do you know the capital of San Marino?

[silver oak]

San Marino

[proud vale]

What the fuck is this

[coarse leaf]

Sure, what's the capital of indonesia?

[silver oak]

Jakarta

[coarse leaf]

Wtf

[silver oak]

But they have plans to move it

[olive bobcat]

It's Ara being Ara

[tiny glen]

Dude needs more mask obviously

[silver oak]

Cuz Jakarta’s got some problems

[serene chasm]

they are going to move an entire city?

[fiery coral]

Lies and slander

[olive bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/shoplifters-shoplifting-shop-lift-house-gif-19159615

[silver oak]

No they’re gonna move where the capital is

[coarse leaf]

Necro, are you like, the wikipedia in person?

[silver oak]

Lots of countries have done this

Brazil, for example

[fiery coral]

Okay Yekaterinburg

[proud vale]

WAIT I just realised Ara posted it lol

[charred surge]

Ok so I wasn’t the only one to notice the health, good

[tiny glen]

https://tenor.com/view/brazil-youre-going-to-brazil-your-going-to-brazil-ur-going-to-brazil-gif-17868304

[olive bobcat]

Yeah he posted it earlier as a joke

[silver oak]

Capital used to be in Rio but they built the city of Brasilia in the middle of the country

[serene chasm]

I think its getting late. I laughed too hard at this

[silver oak]

Nothing like a good old relevant gif

[coarse leaf]

Necro is like, the geographer that guesses Guatemala in 1 second but can't guess Nicaragua in 10 minutes

[silver oak]

Oh come on you gave me like 3 miles of coastline and it was rotated

[coarse leaf]

I did the same thing with Guatemala, what about it?

[fiery coral]

I can guess neither of them in 10 minutes so ha, take that

[silver oak]

You gave a lot more for that one iirc

[coarse leaf]

Surely

[silver oak]

The bottom one is like half of the country

[fiery coral]

What are these lines

[coarse leaf]

Countries

[silver oak]

And I would have gotten the top one if I had realized they were political boundaries

[coarse leaf]

Yeah, yeah, for sure

[violet path]

Play superliminal’s hard mode

[coarse leaf]

Nah, I'm good

[tall heron]

superliminal has a hard mode? since when?

[charred surge]

Thas the weird funky perspective game yeah?

[coarse leaf]

Still, next time, I will give you a pixel of the country to you guess it

[violet path]

Idk someone told me to tell unique “play superliminal’s hard mode”

[tall heron]

yea, it was really good but too short IMO

[coarse leaf]

Superliminal ch. 7 is

[tall heron]

ah, I'll have to check it out and see

[violet path]

Ya I have no clue what that is

Oh wait no ive seen it

[tall heron]

anybody here play Stanley parable ultra deluxe? I won't spoil but|| it was quite good, especially at the start and very end|| <- not a spoiler but could conceivably give away information about the game if you want to go in 1000% blind

[coarse leaf]

You can just say "Yeah, it's good"

And be like "Play it right now "

[tall heron]

fair

[warm bone]

like outer wilds

[proud vale]

This is my take for Outer Wilds

YOOOOOOOOOO SNAIL ME

[warm bone]

no

[tall heron]

next game I'm buying

[proud vale]

heavy worth-it energy

[coarse leaf]

My take on Earthbound

[warm bone]

[fiery coral]

[coarse leaf]

Anyways, uhh, Outer Wilds on Switch when?

[fiery coral]

Now

[tall heron]

I love that I get to experience outer wilds for the first time soon, haha bet you wish you were me

[coarse leaf]

Just like Outer Wilds 2

[warm bone]

[cunning finch]

I wake up and strike another day off my calendar
356 days (at most) until Silksong

[tall heron]

hmm, I bet you the base game is already done and they're just giving themselves lots of time for bug fixes and playtesting

[bleak musk]

i wonder what else will be customizable in silksong

[coarse leaf]

Customizable HUD

[proud vale]

I want the switch port ASAP

[bleak musk]

i want Silksong

[proud vale]

I'm not sure if I'll buy it or not, but to play it on an actual TV may be insane

Talking about outer wilds that is

SS can wait

Also, outer wilds fans, we must continue to remind Simo that he must play it

[coarse leaf]

anyone want choccy milk? 🍫 🥛

[coarse leaf]

Playing it on the couch also sounds pretty comfy ngl

[proud vale]

nah bro, a dare iced coffee fix will fix it

[coarse leaf]

i dont think we would still have some left when ss comes out

[coarse leaf]

o ok

[proud vale]

or oak, killing hungry thirsty dead ™️

[bleak musk]

so, those little leafy dudes in the new trailer, what's their deal

[proud vale]

I am he

[uncut citrus]

thats a question to ask for tomorrow's DSSSTA

[bleak musk]

what

[proud vale]

I'm not sure, I think they may be kind of related to the little black white eyed creatures that live in animal skulls

[serene chasm]

Their deal is that they are cute

[bleak musk]

i wonder if they're at all related to mossflies/mosskin

[serene chasm]

If you hurt them I will hunt you down

[sharp jewel]

cant wait for the forest of bones in silksong

[bleak musk]

i hope the juggling crab comes back

[serene chasm]

My question is; who's bones are they?

[sharp jewel]

that of an old kingdom

[proud vale]

People, thoughts on these all being the same 'race' ?

[sharp jewel]

that was massacred?

could be the same race

[olive bobcat]

Scurry
Flurry
Hurry
Curry

[proud vale]

Flurry, that me

[atomic sparrow]

who ???

[bleak musk]

oh totally where the hell did the bones come from

[coarse leaf]

Hi besties

[proud vale]

But maybe, they are all the same race, like maybe some kind of soot creatures like in Spirited Away? or void?

[serene chasm]

Hey Evan

[coarse leaf]

2Ao cuerlh

Hru

[bleak musk]

idk I think they're just like that

[serene chasm]

Curry sees the odd one out. The other ones might be related

[proud vale]

But how is the journal going to explain why they all look the same other than them having the same origin?

[coarse leaf]

s(k)curry is in a hurry (speedrunsss) to do flurry (rushes)

[bleak musk]

there's like 20 different "generic bugs" in hk

[proud vale]

I mean maybe they are just like that though, seems like a weird appearance

[serene chasm]

Getting ready for bed. How is the hunger games thing going

[silent meteor]

Chicken curry?

[proud vale]

that's true, but I feel like a bug this weird looking requires explanation

[bleak musk]

seriously

[coarse leaf]

website broke and i lost 130 tribute placings... needless to say im not doing it tonight :(

[proud vale]

the bones look the same between the two pics I sent, so I would assume it's one long dead race

[spice plume]

Hey Evan

[coarse leaf]

hi flapdpy

[bleak musk]

i meant where did the bones of the entire forest of bones come from

[proud vale]

50,000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town

[spice plume]

We don’t know. We see large rib cages/spines so we know the old animals were vertebrates. I like to think that a race of giant moles used to live done there, hunting for bugs. Then they died out or something idk.

[bleak musk]

i like that theory

[coarse leaf]

local strawberry tries to type silksong 10 times very quickly:
silkskogns is
Kgon sis dlgmosn gisslmogn ssilksong skilsong silksong silksong siolskngsiolsnog silksong silksong
(Might have been 11 or 12 but whos counting)

[proud vale]

they died when they hit the goddamn lava pool i think

[coarse leaf]

mfw i read vertebrates as vegetables 💀

[velvet sentinel]

vegetable

[spice plume]

I think all of those bugs are related though. Like those moss ones and the “bone-head” ones. Maybe they are like mimics that use stuff from their surrounding to camouflage.

[bleak musk]

that's a neat idea

[proud vale]

Bruh I completely forgot about Shakra

We haven't seen her since announcement trailer and like one screenshot

[velvet sentinel]

2 of these are small village destroyer guys

[proud vale]

that is a damn good theory

[spice plume]

We even see that the smaller bone thing and the moss thing (the ones that walk on the ground) have very similar walking animations. They both have numerous legs like spider.

[uncut citrus]

MY RANDOM MESSAGE

[uncut citrus]

[quartz herald]

Idk tf2 always updates like almost every time i open steam

[cerulean sable]

you mean the LATEST SUMMER CRATE 2022??? update?

[quartz herald]

Idk

[violet path]

kicking bots should be way easier with the fact they cant clear chat, they cant change names, and both teams can do a kick at once

[civic heart]

No way

[violet path]

dont forget the updating of localization files

[coarse leaf]

when the bots disguise as f2p players

[cerulean sable]

ofc

[kindred pewter]

OMG, TF2 UPDATED THE LOCALIZATION FILES, LETS FUCKING GOO

[uncut citrus]

[violet path]

I havent played tf2 in a while, been to devoted to making silksong shrines in the hopes that we would get some news

[violet path]

and it worked

[kindred pewter]

BUT, STILL, NO BOTS FIXING AND F2P PEOPLE ARE MALDING

AND NO HEAVY UPDATE

[violet path]

I wonder how you could even fix the bots

[proud vale]

thank you for your sacrifice

[violet path]

vac clearly does nothing

[coarse leaf]

hey that looks familiar

[cerulean sable]

plottwist

[violet path]

oh right I can use this snail again

[kindred pewter]

YOOO bro come to my house anytime I have some sprite, some popcorn, and I also have the latest copy of dead cells

[cerulean sable]

ok ill have to say no after you said dead cell

[violet path]

so is that just a random set of numbers or what

[kindred pewter]

wait you hate dead cells

[cerulean sable]

i hate roguelikes

i do not ike going through the same level 50 billion times just because i have a different ability

[brittle tangle]

*metroidvanias

[cerulean sable]

i wanna know how the killer is, who started the war, when was the event that transpired the schism of the church, whos causing the curse

not "do same shit in 2800 different ways"

[violet path]

oh sick a new channel in the hollow knight discord server

[cerulean sable]

because after that... now what

its like going up the park slides but using a differnt route

i want the school guard with a traumatic backstory at the end of that slide ready to beat me up with a hammer his grandfather forged

[violet path]

amazing quality as always

[violet path]

but like its a really cool ability

[cerulean sable]

meh

[violet path]

you shoot .5% faster

what could be better than that

[fiery coral]

deal +5% damage when at full HP

[coarse leaf]

when you heal by attacking

[violet path]

an item that whenever you use it you shoot .3% faster but your game gets more and more wobbly

the list of very unique and fun weapons goes on

[cerulean sable]

for real tho a weird way of saying for me roguelikes is like rewatching a tv show with the same episode but sometimes the other dude has a funny hat on certain rewatches

i want that episode to keep going and develop into newer ones and i wanna see that tv show end, development and all that

[fiery coral]

ah yes my beloved 'get back HP every time you deal damage'

[violet path]

its usually more like "get half of one hit back for every 12 enemies you kill"

[fiery coral]

love when bosses do that

[brittle tangle]
