[dusky wadi]

ok yeah it was he said one thing that was for sure homophobic and it could have been a joke

[ashen wadi]

first it was 'it's not homophobic'
now it's 'well yeah ok it was homophobic but it was a joke' like that fuckin matters

[paper vapor]

no but it’s still homophobic? Killing me rn

[junior ocean]

homophobia (or any discrimination) is still hateful regardless of being a joke

[paper vapor]

please make a racist joke and tell me it wasn’t racist

[bleak gazelle]

Why give him the benefit of the doubt he didn’t even claim it’s a joke and most people didn’t read it as a joke and even if it was a joke expect to get banned if you make homophobic jokes

[junior ocean]

also it probably says something if everyone disagrees

[dusky wadi]

ok i concede what he did was wrong and homophobic but like people make mistakes

[paper vapor]

??????

so what’s ur platform

[ashen wadi]

ok so now it's 'it was homophobic and bad but you shouldn't call him out on it'

[midnight oasis]

This doesnt beat that one time when someone was whining about the crystal generation

Can I say something before I leave the server
imma say it anyways then
I swear, I don't hate any gays or feminists and what not, but the people I despise are the crystal generation people who will get offended by anything, despite apologies and explanations coming from the same person. I feel like this wouldn't have happened a few years ago, but well, it is what it is. And the worst part is that maybe some gay people weren't even offended by my post, but rather white girls who think they have to stand up for everyone they see. If something disgusts me, it's that. That being said, I hope most of y'all have a wonderful rest of your day, best of luck, and peace in the real world, where you're on your own.

[dusky wadi]

again just don't let it get under your skin so much its not like he insulted your mother your weight and everything about you

[midnight oasis]

uh

[junior ocean]

did we read the same text?!

[midnight oasis]

You do realize there are queer people in chat right

[paper vapor]

3 excuses and still nobody believes u

that’s crazy

also “jokes” affect real life let’s not pretend they don’t

[midnight oasis]

So yes it was a direct insult

Not that it matters

[paper vapor]

so even if it was a joke it’s still bad

it’s still homophobic how is this not getting through ur head

[junior ocean]

how can u say that
#hk-general message
then this the next message

[midnight oasis]

"Guys don't hate on homophobes if you aren't directly harmed by their rhetoric" 🤓

This guy your bro or something this is insane glazing

[ashen wadi]

ok martin niemoller

[dusky wadi]

It is an insult but if you let every insult get under your skin your going to have a real hard road ahead of you

[junior ocean]

ur missing the context i think

[ashen wadi]

why are you assuming that is what's happening

[dusky wadi]

Im not

[paper vapor]

no but one u lost the plot

[dusky wadi]

I was here the whole time

[ashen wadi]

if you are just gonna whine when people call out problematic behavior then go ahead and whine

cry about it I genuinely don't care

[junior ocean]

someone said something hateful in a discussion board and they get banned, its just removing hateful ppl from what should be a civil environment

[steel wyvern]

perfect timing for a colon three

[dusky wadi]

your making it sound like im the one who said it

[ashen wadi]

incorrect

[midnight oasis]

Please keep all colon threes contained in #hk-discussion . Thank you and have a wonderful day

[dusky wadi]

ok whatever you say can we drop it

[paper vapor]

No but you’re defending it

[dusky wadi]

Summary is what he said was homophobic what he said was wrong but yall need to be a bit less sensitive about it

[ashen wadi]

if you have an issue with server policy take it up with mod mail

[midnight oasis]

You've completely lost the plot at this point and just don't want to admit your wrong so you're just backpedaling to increasingly absurd arguments

[junior ocean]

hateful comments should be pointed out. idk how thats so crazy

[dusky wadi]

i just admited i was wrong

[junior ocean]

then backpeddled yes

[dusky wadi]

If somone says something hateful you just tell them to stop then just brush it off and ignore them

So you guys don't like winning an argument?

you want me to keep arguing

[junior ocean]

u remove them from the environment until the behaviour is fixed

[dusky wadi]

you want me to keep defending him after i admitted it was wrong?

[junior ocean]

arguments arent abt "winning", if u have that mentality u learn nothing

[dusky wadi]

my mentality has changed

[junior ocean]

hopefully

[dusky wadi]

Here let me put it in less fancy words He was wrong be less hurt

[paper vapor]

?

ur funny

[dusky wadi]

Don't let it hurt you that much

aight?

[junior ocean]

i dont think that was necessarily the point

[ashen wadi]

you don't have to be offended in order to call out bad behavior

[paper vapor]

talking abt defending homophobia slide

[junior ocean]

hence this

[paper vapor]

cmon

[midnight oasis]

Its fine to feel hurt

Thats not bad

[dusky wadi]

i know you don't have to feed the person saying hurtful things by showing it tell them to stop and coldly dismiss them

[midnight oasis]

They're banned my man

[ashen wadi]

and good riddance

[midnight oasis]

They've stopped

[dusky wadi]

great if you want to take action fine by you

earlier i was trying to tell you to not overreact and call the mods at the flick of a finger though i guess im one of the few who beleive in second chances

[ashen wadi]

if you take issue with server policy take it up with moderators

as is the policy is ping for that shit

[dusky wadi]

ok

[midnight oasis]

Why are we banning homophobes in a community with queer people again?

Beats me

Maybe they have a heart of gold and are just misunderstood

[dusky wadi]

your trying to start an argument with petty sarcasam

drop it

[midnight oasis]

I'm mocking your dumb take

We do have second chances they're called ban appeals

[dusky wadi]

petty sarcasam

hush child

[ashen wadi]

oh the irony

[dusky wadi]

it's over and done with

[dusky wadi]

stop fanning the flames

[wind path]

Hey kiddos

[dusky wadi]

sup

[paper vapor]

holy shit solve this

[junior ocean]

holy shit its curly

[steel wyvern]

people call mods for the wrong type of meme in hk-meme, flick of the finger is justified

[paper vapor]

tired

[junior ocean]

curly can u promote yisrael to mod rn, just a bit early. he could have prevented this entire situation and many more

[midnight oasis]

bro is not the second coming of bonk

[junior ocean]

[ashen wadi]

isn't there a whole voting process, skipping that might not be great

[wind path]

lol I totally forgot we were doing mod apps

[paper vapor]

curly

so if I become mod

[junior ocean]

yisrael is basically already accepted i think

yisraelcord is a testament to his moderation abilities

[paper vapor]

no that’s paraphrasing u 😭😭😭😭

[midnight oasis]

yisrael has made great contributions to the server

such as ?tag yesping

[wind path]

then you would be a mod

[paper vapor]

girl ur still defending homophobia but

[paper vapor]

oh wonderful!

[steel wyvern]

yisrael is my friend so he should be mod

[ashen wadi]

mmm tautologies

[paper vapor]

Alr where’s the mod role

[junior ocean]

tammo should apply rn

[ashen wadi]

nah

[midnight oasis]

is it true mods have to incorporate more oranges into their diet to keep the role

[ashen wadi]

then I'd have to be nice 🤢

[junior ocean]

nuhuh look at zal

[midnight oasis]

the famously nice mods

[junior ocean]

[ashen wadi]

Pizza sucks anyways

[fluid hazel]

so go get those tier 3 subs

[steel wyvern]

[junior ocean]

wtf ill get u pizza

[midnight oasis]

Its meant to be highly customizeable but like

Bagels

Sandwich

[steel wyvern]

bagels do NOT outrank pizza

[junior ocean]

true

[steel wyvern]

sandwich you might have an arguement

[midnight oasis]

You've just never had a quality bagel

[steel wyvern]

i lived near a bagel store growing up, fantastic bagels

not better than best pizza tho

[steel wyvern]

You've just never had a quality pizza

[midnight oasis]

Maybe if the pizza has honey on it

But honey makes literally everything good

There is no tea that cannot be fixed by honey

[steel wyvern]

honey is gag inducing

checks out, its just bee vomit

[fluid hazel]

bagels are satans dohnuts

[midnight oasis]

We used to sting people for saying things like that

[junior ocean]

bad take neat

[scenic frost]

[prime wyvern]

Steel soul elderbug flower hits different

[brave blaze]

Elderbug needs pain

[junior ocean]

yes. he is a severly overrated character

[brave blaze]

I wish I could kill him and ascend his ghost

[junior ocean]

me too

[faint harbor]

WHAT

NOT ELDERBUG

u guys r meanies 😔

[dull oracle]

Tell me one thing elder bug has done to help you?

[brave blaze]

His annoying ass moan when I pass him in speed runs

[faint harbor]

tell me one thing Bretta has done to help u

[dull oracle]

Nothing

And? I also dislike her

[faint harbor]

oh damn

touché

[brave blaze]

Mask shard

[dull oracle]

I mean technically no you just break in to her house

[brave blaze]

Where a mask shard happens to be

[dull oracle]

The Knight is a criminal

[brave blaze]

Robinhood

[dull oracle]

He is a wanted criminal

[junior ocean]

u can check out elderbugs dialogue where hes rude, passive aggressive, and xenophobic

[strong mesa]

A mask shard, more than Elderbug gives me

[dull oracle]

Which you steal but sure

[strong mesa]

Yeah but it doesn't appear until saving her, and the vanishing of the mask shard doesn't seem to bother her in any way

So

[dull oracle]

Yeah because you can't even go in

And she not being bother has nothing to do with it

[molten moat]

I guess we dont know wether it bothers her, its not like she tells tk anything

[strong mesa]

Which is why I think it doesn't

Because if it did she would write about it

But she doesn't, implying she knows the Knight took it or she just doesn't care

[brave blaze]

All she tells us is we saved her and no one likes her

[strong mesa]

My point is though Bretta is the reason you get the mask shard, Elderbug doesn't give you anything, and while Bretta also doesn't "give" you anything, she is the reason you are able to obtain it.

[faint harbor]

I feel like we have had this discussion before

[faint harbor]

She also cheats on u

[brave blaze]

I read all 57 precepts.

Lord help me

[strong mesa]

You do make a fair point. But you can sabotage their relationship so I don't care

Well I care a little bit

Bretta why you leave me, I can't have the real life women and the fictional ones leave

[brave blaze]

Bretta is fat and ion like that so

[strong mesa]

Elderbug doesn't necessarily deserve pain, but I wouldn't intervene if pain were to come to him.

That's my view point

[brave blaze]

I would kill him and ascend his ghost of it was the morally incorrect thing to do, if being a ghost is miserable that's what he is staying as.

[strong mesa]

I would kill grandfather though

I wish pain upon him

[brave blaze]

Grubfather?

[strong mesa]

I strongly dislike grub father

Oh I see my mistake

Auto correct

Corrected grubfather

To grandfather

[young nimbus]

Ay congrats

[brave blaze]

||I've done p5 fuf no lifeblood, figure out what that means||

[young nimbus]

Every attack is pretty much buffed, an additional phase is added, significantly more hp, attacks faster (both with speed and less delay between them)

Theres more stuff but this is p much it

[dull oracle]

No need to spoiler tag here

[brave blaze]

Just so you don't cry teehee

[dull oracle]

[brave blaze]

It means I've done p5 hitless

[junior ocean]

to use fury you have to get hit

"i did it hitless except for the hits at the start"

[brave blaze]

Shhh

Shhhh

Shhh

Shhh

Shhhh

That doesn't count

Shhh

[junior ocean]

🤨

[brave blaze]

Those were intentional so like

[pseudo pilot]

"Nah guys I meant to jump into markoth that don't count"

[eternal jungle]

"I meant to die there cuz it's faster, this is still a no deaths run"

[brave blaze]

😭

[eternal jungle]

steel soul should have an undo button frfr

[brave blaze]

I get it please

Have mercy

[pseudo pilot]

We like jokes here

[young nimbus]

I mean id say if ur doing hitless getting a 175% damage buff isnt fair when y shouldnt

[brave blaze]

Then I'll try to do it without fuf like not at 130am

[pseudo pilot]

It's not that bad t r u s t

[brave blaze]

No I know

I've done it just with a DMG boost

I've done p1-4 full hitless

So

I'm prepared

[pseudo pilot]

What's 23% TE mean

[brave blaze]

23% completion true ending

[pseudo pilot]

So like low%?

Also there is no true ending

[brave blaze]

Radiance

And yes

Low%

[junior ocean]

or is there

[pseudo pilot]

You of all people

If only there were enough space

Also 23% isn't hard so much as boring

I could do it if I left my pc on overnight lol

[brave blaze]

This is amazing

Actually not enough space

[brave blaze]

Elaborate

Because it's funny to see how people react

[junior ocean]

i think a small amount of ppl hate him

at least compared to the ppl that like him

[young otter]

it's a running gag

[dusky crown]

What the hell :<

[young otter]

but just a second ago you were on the side of hating him

[dusky crown]

We dont talk about that

Im on whatever side the irony is

lmfao

that's a good side to be on

[dusky crown]

Yes because it never loses

That's why I always win

Except the Marmu discussion

She's always on top

[pseudo pilot]

Why is elderbug broke

He only has 3 geo

[dusky crown]

I stole it from him

[pseudo pilot]

When

You should have invited me

He only had 4 and I felt bad so I took 1

Nothing for you to take unfortunately

[queen forum]

From experience from a year in a hk server, I can tell you they are not nice AT ALL, not only extremely toxic but also starting countless arguments... over the stupidest things. Said arguments get insanely heated and eventually just turn into bullying. The community literally gave me mental problems that still affect me to this day, and that one year of hell was 2 years ago.

[young rain]

Guys whats a hollow knight and whats a silksong

[faint harbor]

No disrespect but if u had that experience, why stay?

[native panther]

like this is legit the worst organized discord i have seen. why is this ~100 people’s injoke playground and not a discussion forum for anything

[dusky crown]

You really try hard when you troll don't you

And this is why

[queen forum]

Peer pressure, I tried to leave and I just got bombarded with dms

And I couldn't block because of alts

[young nimbus]

No thats actually extremely true ngl but otherwise theyre exactly as i described

Making arguments doesnt mean toxicity (well.. kinda)

Its just bcs devs left soooo many '?'

[queen forum]

Yeah I feel like one half is really nice and the other is mentally unstable

[faint harbor]

What 💀

[young nimbus]

So theres lots to argue about

[queen forum]

Yea

[young nimbus]

I once said smth i saw from a theory video and got 9 people on my ass

Bcs it was wrong

[dusky crown]

I mean I've literally never seen what you're talking about

[young nimbus]

Then u dont have eyes ig because that happens daily

[strong mesa]

I have not seen that

I've seen the opposite

[pure osprey]

have you ever been to the place known as #hk-discussion

[strong mesa]

Not a lot

[pure osprey]

go there and ask people's opinions on elderbug

[paper vapor]

Rabbit hole

[barren crest]

i find the dialogue he has with slight hints of the next area you should go to cute

[pure osprey]

he sucks and is useless and takes up extra storage space in the game

[distant kiln]

It really should let you do that normally

Maybe not as a bench function. But as just sitting normally

Considering you are a king at that point in the game

[reef patio]

Ah ok

also I despise anyone who says I have a skill issue

it just gives off the feeling im beyond someone for not grinding my ass off to beat a challenge or just an unfriendly feeling

[reef patio]

I envy people like you ngl

no offense

Anyway congrats

[scenic frost]

Man the dark souls community is like 5 times worse

[reef patio]

Yeah im not into dark souls thank god

I just hate the term skill issue so much sometimes

[scenic frost]

It's less of them saying skill issue

And more of invalidating your accomplishments

"Oh, you didn't beat the game EXACTLY the way that I like to play it? Heh, looks like you didn't ACTUALLY beat it "

I love dark souls and the fromsoft games in general

But that subsection of the community is cancerous

[midnight oasis]

Because the game is 5 times worse

[scenic frost]

Wrong

[scenic frost]

TRUE!!!

Sekiro is literally better than all the dark souls games

Best one imo (although I LIKE ds1 more)

[midnight oasis]

DS1 world design with Sekiro combat would be the best game of all time

[scenic frost]

TRUE TRUE TRUE

Actually hold up

[reef patio]

You play your games however you like because you bought it and it’s simply yours now

[scenic frost]

Ds1's world design. Ds2's art direction. Ds3's uhh uhhh. Bloodborne's story. Sekiro's combat. Elden Ring's variety.

[scenic frost]

True. People think that because people use "easier" builds that are "crutches" then they're not REALLY beating the game the right way

Or if people use summons

[reef patio]

Exactly

Shits annoying man

[reef patio]

That should be common sense like come on

[scenic frost]

Peakiro doesn't have this problem because there are no builds or summons. Just you, your sword, and the enemy.

[reef patio]

i see

[scenic frost]

So no one can say you took the easy route

Because there is no easy route to take

So those guys can finally SHUT UP

[midnight oasis]

DS3 moment

[scenic frost]

I genuinely think ds3 is the worst of the soulsbornes.

(sekiro spoilers) Been working on ||inner isshin|| and ||gauntlets of severance and shura|| as of late

I took a break multiple months long so I really need to get back into the flow of combat

It is a horrible shame sekiro didn't get a dlc

And it's probably never gonna get a sequel

[midnight oasis]

Sekiro has a wonderful flow

The deathblows remind me of glory kills in recent doom games

Kinda allowing you a second of rest and to replan

[scenic frost]

It's genuinely great

It's a crime it's as short as it is tho

My save has only 50 hours and I'm on ng+2

[midnight oasis]

😔

[scenic frost]

Fromsoft made one of the best combat systems in any video game and is probably never gonna touch it again

[midnight oasis]

I do think sometimes a game can benefit from being short, it allows the experience to be a bit more refined and polished. It is better to be left wanting more instead of the game dragging out as well

[scenic frost]

Yeah true

I feel like if sekiro was longer it probably would've had one or two really bad areas

But as it stands sekiro is the fromsoft game with the most consistent quality

||Headless ape|| is basically the only truly BAD boss imo

Oops spoilers

Oh yeah and you're allowed to REFIGHT BOSSES STRAIGHT FROM THE SCULPTOR'S IDOL

Why didn't elden ring also do this

[midnight oasis]

[orchid vector]

dark souls 2 lets you do it thats why its the best one

[scenic frost]

True bonfire ascetics were a cool mechanic

[orchid vector]

very broken though

just refight the rotten and get too many souls

[scenic frost]

The reason I like ds2 over ds3 is because ds2 was CERTAINLY not forgettable. It did so much that was so experimental that I love its weirdness.

[orchid vector]

ds2 is too hated

i feel like 75% of the people who hate it havent played it

or atleast havent gotten far

[scenic frost]

Yeah

Ds2's art direction is genuinely great

Majula is the best hub in every game

And yeah I know I'm VERY biased for ds1 being my favorite one

When I remove the bias, I see Sekiro as the best one

But man, ds1 is just so beautiful to me

[orchid vector]

i love ds1 too it has such a unique feel to me

probably because its from the early 2010s

i love old games

[scenic frost]

And also I went into that one COMPLETELY blind

[scenic frost]

Not a single ounce of spoilers

I knew about ornstein and smough and that was IT

[orchid vector]

i only knew about ornstein and artorias

[scenic frost]

Oh I had also heard about bed of chaos

[orchid vector]

and havel but only his armor

[scenic frost]

Fighting ||gwyn and hearing the music|| gave me a feeling that no other game replicated

[orchid vector]

i played through most the game with my friend and he was really good at not spoiling and keeping it fun

[scenic frost]

And it felt like I got as whole of a playthrough as I could

I started off terrible

Took me 4 hours to get past undead burg

Then I got to blighttown and I was stuck on it for a week

And I think blighttown wooped me so good that I started getting actually good at the game

Beat o&s in 4 attempts no summons

[orchid vector]

i beat o&s on my first ever attempt but i had solaire

[scenic frost]

Beat every other boss (except bed of chaos) in four attempts or less

[orchid vector]

i think

[scenic frost]

I REALLY wanted to not use summons

I still don't mostly when I play through a from game for the first time

Me personally I find it more fun fighting it myself

And it feels more rewarding to me

[orchid vector]

i feel like summoning on first playthrough makes more sense because youre supposed to

ds2 has my favourite summons tho

[scenic frost]

Then I moved onto the dlc and beat all those bosses in four attempts except manus, that motherfucker took me five

[orchid vector]

they are everywhere and they are cooler

and more characters

rather than just having solaire and a couple other characters

[scenic frost]

I genuinely felt so good about myself and it felt like I actually got gud

Then I went to ds3 and got humbled

[young nimbus]

In the depths of the dream, where the shadows conspire,
The Radiance glows, a celestial fire.
Once a beacon of light in the kingdom so grand,
Now a haunting specter, with darkness at hand.

She weaves through the minds of the husks and the lost,
With a flicker of hope, but at what cost?
In the City of Tears, where the light starts to fade,
Her whispers call forth, and the nightmares cascade.

A battle for souls in the depths of despair,
The knight stands alone, with a heart laid bare.
To confront the Radiance, the bright and the cruel,
In a dance of the shadows, a fight to the duel.

With each clash of will, the light starts to wane,
As the knight faces darkness, forsaking the slain.
In the echoes of silence, the truth shall be found,
For the Radiance reigns, but the knight stands his ground.

asked chatgpt to rhyme about hollow knight because im so bored and... hold up, its writing is THIS fire???

[prime wyvern]

What do you mean

[reef patio]

Nothing forget it

I was just wishing i had your skills and patience

Thats all

[junior ocean]

no its very mid

[prime wyvern]

Thanks :3

[prime wyvern]

But you're better than me :/

[reef patio]

You earned it

[reef patio]

How so

[prime wyvern]

You beat p4

[brave blaze]

I just had to kill so many mosscreeps for the journal entry

i'm distraught

[young nimbus]

yeah well its not a poet so i was surprised to say the least

[reef patio]

Ah ok

its easy for me surprisingly

[young nimbus]

none of us in here can do better anyway 🤣

[sweet charm]

traumatising i know theres like 5 on the map and you need like 30 i dont remember

[prime wyvern]

I have the achievement but I call that a fluke

[reef patio]

Like a clutch?

[prime wyvern]

Because I just went in guns blazing and beat it first try on the edge of life

[prime wyvern]

Yeah

[reef patio]

I also had it as a clutch

[brave blaze]

i also don't like murdering tiny helpless creatures

[reef patio]

but i got better lol

I can even beat pv without taking more than 3 hits

I even beat him ascended

Not flexxing ofc

[sweet charm]

well that makes us distinct since if i see a birb in like the birb room i just kill it if i can

[prime wyvern]

Insane

[reef patio]

Hes such a fun boss

Btw you never suck jf you beat p4 lmao

That shit takes godlike skill

So don’t worry youre also good too

[sweet charm]

yk whats traumatising myla

i mean cherry team why

[reef patio]

You can leave her tho

[sweet charm]

i mean yeah but still

[reef patio]

Maybe shell become uninfected when you defeat radiance

*she’ll

[prime wyvern]

I did end up beating p5

[young nimbus]

i know you said ur not flexing but... pv is so easy

[prime wyvern]

Absrad is fun

Except the last part

[sweet charm]

no i doubt that

[reef patio]

She even counts as something for the journal count

shows that even if we know her she’s insignificant damn

[reef patio]

Mhm

[reef patio]

So youre better than me then

I hate abs rad altho i beat her over 10 times

[young nimbus]

we'll never know, but, the infection is cleared so thats possible i guess, she could have still permanently lost her mind tho, just because the infection is gone she isnt necessarily back to normal

eitherway this isnt #hk-lore

[sweet charm]

if you all like flexing so much beat any radiance

[reef patio]

ik

[young nimbus]

no one here is flexing

[reef patio]

I haven’t beaten p5 yet

[young nimbus]

• have u beat it?

[reef patio]

Im literally restarting to avoid gpz

As much as I like gpz he is SUCH a nuisance but yk the rest

[sweet charm]

no never its a sugestion/chellenge dont do it if you dont want to ig im not forcing you to do so

[spare pasture]

it sounds pretty good ngl!

[young nimbus]

i mean for the fact its AI and it pulled that up in literally 0.1 seconds

i was amazed

not saying its super amazing because its not telling a great story

[paper vapor]

https://youtu.be/7IlgHoLZqrs?si=kVm354c2O5-goGMj

hate this fucking boss though

also anyrad is not a flex

this shits lightwork

[sweet charm]

i hate radiance absrad and anyrad of the scale

[paper vapor]

Pomi2 hitless is harder

[reef patio]

I hate every form of the radiance

[paper vapor]

thankfully nult

[prime wyvern]

Steel soul radiance scares me

[reef patio]

Same

[rotund heath]

Easy

[prime wyvern]

Cuz I have to do it first try

[reef patio]

Its so easy to do yet so easy to fail

[rotund heath]

Isnt it a dream boss so you respawn?

[sweet charm]

i hate her buth gameplay and lore

[reef patio]

nuh uh you lose everything

[rotund heath]

Oh

[reef patio]

I thought that was obvious when you lost your shade

[rotund heath]

I have yet to experience this cuz i practice radiance way too much

[ashen wadi]

there are three dreams that kill you in steel soul

wp, radiance, lifeblood abyss room

[reef patio]

I practiced abs rad so many times I hate her

[rotund heath]

Wait

The blood rokm

No

[reef patio]

It took me tons of tries to actually get her down

The climbing phase sucks too

[rotund heath]

Shes actually fun

Call me a masochist but shes so fun to foght

Mainly cuz the bosses get easy after playing so much

[reef patio]

Not radiance,

Absolute radiance

[rotund heath]

Ik

[reef patio]

Oh sorry absolute rubbish

[rotund heath]

Even more fun

[paper vapor]

Yes! Absrad! this is because absrad is one of the only good bosses in this dumbass game

[reef patio]

no it sucks

i think its annoying as shit

[rotund heath]

My lumafly is down so i cant do modded bosses

[rotund heath]

Someone who understands!!!

[reef patio]

Way too many projectiles coming in at the same time

[rotund heath]

I love bullet hells

So fire

[reef patio]

I hate bullet hells

So awful

[rotund heath]

Why

They are fun

And stressful

But mainly fun

[paper vapor]

manual modding isn’t hard

[reef patio]

Stressful ≠ fun

[rotund heath]

I use the lumafly launcher, and idk what mods are conflicting right now

So im at a bit of an impasse

[reef patio]

I just think abs rad way too rough, i get its a boss that’s supposed to be very fucking hard, but still

[rotund heath]

Its literally the final boss

[reef patio]

I still had fun practicing her tho

[sweet charm]

quick question for all of you hollow knight players do you think sould warrior is a boss yes or no

[ashen wadi]

yes

[rotund heath]

No

[drifting cliff]

Yea

[reef patio]

Its fun when youre not getting hit by projectiles from every angle and not getting killed at climbing phase

[paper vapor]

no but there’s like 5 things I’d consider a boss so what the fuck

[rotund heath]

Theres no title introducing him

[prime wyvern]

I did 2 out of 3

[short sinew]

I died to it like 5+ times on my first playthrough
So like, yeah it’s definitely a boss

[reef patio]

no, by that logic the fat mushroom guys from the beginning are bosses

[rotund heath]

I died four times to husk guard and hes not a boss

[short sinew]

Gruz mother and vfk have titled and those are easier than it

[prime wyvern]

Funnily enough
I beat radiance on my third try on my first run

[rotund heath]

Soul warrior and mossy shouldnt be bosses

[short sinew]

At any rate the game very much defines what a boss is, and soul warrior is one

[rotund heath]

No

[prime wyvern]

Which was 109% when I finished

[reef patio]

Thing is I dont mind absolute radiance being tough af shes the final boss after all

[rotund heath]

Am i allowed to spoiler here

[reef patio]

But p5 is suuuuuuchs a slog to get through

As time passes it becomes rather unfun

[prime wyvern]

Take a guess

[paper vapor]

that’s a p5 problem

[rotund heath]

Idk

[sweet charm]

i think so

[reef patio]

thats why I said p5

[prime wyvern]

We're talking about radiance ofc spoilers are allowed

[rotund heath]

Im slow im sorry

Anyway

So you say soul warrior is a boss

[prime wyvern]

[rotund heath]

Wouldnt that make tiso a boss

[reef patio]

soul warrior doesn’t count as a boss hes not even a threat to begin with

[sweet charm]

some do some say its not

[reef patio]

At endgame btw

The endgame

[prime wyvern]

Technically yes

[young nimbus]

i love radiance and absolute radiance, one of the reasons being because theres no contact-damage in the fight

[sweet charm]

tiso is a boss

[fading egret]

I count soul warrior as a miniboss

[drifting cliff]

Game considers Soul Warrior as boss -> I consider it boss

Soul Warrior is too easy --> They appear more than once in the game --> They don't have a title introduction --> Their only defining feature is a gauntlet they guard and several basic enemies follow the same principles

My mental gymnastics is easier and therefore I'm right

[young nimbus]

why tf would you hate radiance and absrad except for the skill issue factor??

[mint meteor]

Why is the hk server lgbq+

[reef patio]

Contact damage being nonexistent saves the boss for me, but I still hate it cuz it throws projectiles everywhere

[green ore]

The Radiance has a very pretty character design but she’s very frustrating. Her doing double damage is highkey unnecessary

[sweet charm]

bc yes

[reef patio]

The climbing phase sucks ass too

[fading egret]

Why not :3

[young nimbus]

whatttt yes an ancient allpowerful entity shall do the same damage as normal enemies?

[paper vapor]

Boo

[green ore]

You’re right. She should do 4 damage instead

[fading egret]

Hollow knight literally has canonically gay characters so idk why that’s an issue in the first place

[green ore]

Because the big sentry guards do the same as she does

[young nimbus]

thats tolerable... but hard

[reef patio]

6 damage instead

matter of fact 1 hit boss

[bleak gazelle]

Because nice colors

[mint meteor]

👍🏻

[young nimbus]

yes? because theyre massive as fuck? why should a little skibidi soul sanctum crawly thing do the same

[reef patio]

At base game

[sweet charm]

nah one hit who needs 4 when an all powerfull entity should insta kill

[drifting cliff]

This logic doesn't follow the HK Main server pfp looks like balls

[rotund heath]

You dont fight him thojgh

[reef patio]

and p5 should be necessary for 112% because I love trolling

[rotund heath]

112 is too easy i agree

[sweet charm]

you can fight him in the godhome

[rotund heath]

No

[reef patio]

true!

[rotund heath]

He gets smooshed

[reef patio]

112% still is an accomplishment tho

[rotund heath]

By that one boss

[young nimbus]

on a real note after so many months why is it still lgbtq+ (not that i care but my friends ALWAYS mention this if i open discord)

[green ore]

If you forced Radiance into the physical world and she had to fight PK who’s taking the W

[bronze acorn]

You can you need to jump 300,000 times in godhome to unlock him

[paper vapor]

funsies

[young nimbus]

prime radiance?

[fading egret]

I always thought P5 was necessary for 112 but I guess not

[rotund heath]

Pk

[sweet charm]

if you go to the godhome then idk if tiso has his own statue or you have to flick mawlecks lever to fight tiso but you can

[young nimbus]

p5 is meant to be a challenge and like every other ending doesnt give completion %

[rotund heath]

Either way hd gets smooshed

[green ore]

He has no feats🤓

[young nimbus]

LOL

[sweet charm]

well no tiso is to be fought

[rotund heath]

💀

[fading egret]

I do think p5 is really tedious and I’m not a huge fan of it

[young nimbus]

brings back so many memories of 2021 arguments

[rotund heath]

P5 is fun mainly cuz it takes a while

[fading egret]

I love sinking 20 minutes into a p5 run just for 1 attempt at absrad

[rotund heath]

Once you get to absrad once you can practice her

[fading egret]

I know I just don’t really like how long each p5 attempt is

[rotund heath]

My problem is the last three are nkg pv and then absrad

[midnight oasis]

P5 sucks

[reef patio]

P5 is also a marathon, makes sense why its not needed for 112%

[fading egret]

Don’t forget gpz too

[rotund heath]

I hate him

Hes too erratic

[reef patio]

P5 sucks ass still

its so long and tedious

[midnight oasis]

TC try not to make slop for their DLCs

[fading egret]

Yeah I don’t like it

[fading egret]

Nah the Grimm troupe dlc was awesome

[rotund heath]

P5 absrad and shade skips are what i live for

[reef patio]

Gpz and markoth is a cruel combination

[sweet charm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x0eBALbttk

[fading egret]

I just don’t like godhome all too much

[rotund heath]

Hiddem dreams

[reef patio]

how I got through them is a wonder

[midnight oasis]

Its a lame fetch quest broken up by two good bosses

[paper vapor]

ew tiso

[reef patio]

nkg is too easy
Pv is ok

Abs rad on the other hand

[midnight oasis]

really one good boss honestly TMG and NKG are very similar

[fading egret]

The bosses make it worth it

[reef patio]

The music too

[paper vapor]

no grimm dlc was good it added PoP

[fading egret]

yeah the music slaps

[reef patio]

I just hate p5 no matter what its not fun at all

[fading egret]

Yes I love path of pain (former path of pain speedrunner)

[paper vapor]

my condolences

[green ore]

Grimm is literally my favorite character in the entire damn thing. Dude gives a child another child and then dies. Deadass the most hilarious yet mysterious character in the game.

[fading egret]

Genuinely PoP is really fun

[rotund heath]

All are easy i just hate the order

[sweet charm]

yeah and depressing

[paper vapor]

no it’s just that speedrunning most things in hk fucking sucks

miserable shit

[green ore]

Gave up midway through PoP

[reef patio]

Its like they were designed to make you waste so much time of your life that when you die you literally are full of rage and make you question your existence

[fading egret]

Honestly yeah. It’s why I moved to Elden Ring speedrunning instead

[paper vapor]

Yea

[midnight oasis]

You could remove the speedrunning bit actually

[paper vapor]

that’s why I don’t speedrun

I made stuff instead

challenges

[reef patio]

I never speedrun shit seems tough as hell

[paper vapor]

Objectively better

[rotund heath]

If it was pure vessel then nkg i would be happy

Cuz nkg is harder than pv

[reef patio]

that wouldn’t make sense lore wise, also i find nkg easier than pv

[fading egret]

I do a mix of Elden Ring challenge runs and speed runs now

[rotund heath]

Everyone does

I just cant deal with the dashes

[young nimbus]

isnt it more like 30? also thats not an issue at all because hog exists

[rotund heath]

They suck

[fading egret]

Both NKG and PV feel more like rhythm games for me at this point

[paper vapor]

it’s longer if ur not running p5

[rotund heath]

Try getting the soul of something or other

[paper vapor]

Around 40 minutes

[rotund heath]

That one statue

[paper vapor]

20 minutes to reach absrad is insane speedrun pace

[young nimbus]

uh what sorry?

[rotund heath]

Theres a statue you get for beating all bosses in hog

[fading egret]

Oh yeah right I forgot how much filler was in p5

[young nimbus]

ik

[rotund heath]

I fordor the name

Guys

[reef patio]

Hot take: altho this makes poh much easier I feel like it would’ve been better if it was just ascended arenas of dream bosses, other dream bosses, sisters of battle, winged nosk, nkg and pv and abs rad

wait no

even the mato and the painter boss I forgot his name (sheo)

and sly

[rotund heath]

Try a hitless nail charm health soul p5

[fading egret]

It should’ve been main bosses only + godhome exclusives

[reef patio]

Basically if the boring bunch was gone this pantheon wouldn’t waste time

[reef patio]

yeah including everything is rough as hell

[fading egret]

It’s so much filler

[rotund heath]

Gotta love how much filler is in p5

[reef patio]

I despise challenges that waste time

[midnight oasis]

PoH should also have an actually good reward

[reef patio]

designed to suck so much soul and energy and time out of you you question your skill

[rotund heath]

Do a hitless any rad 3.0

[reef patio]

Imagine beating an extremely tough challenge and all you get is a lousy achievement

[rotund heath]

Youll never lose confidence

[fading egret]

I did it once for the achievement and never again

[midnight oasis]

And an atrocious ending

[reef patio]

Shut the fuck up about anyrad

[rotund heath]

Anyrad 1.0 was easy

[reef patio]

Stop mentioning anyrad im gonna implode

[short sinew]

That is… probably not a good thing ? It being somewhat optional as it doesn’t have anything locked behind it, is I think pretty good

[rotund heath]

Anyrad

Gotta love

Anyrad

[reef patio]

im so tired of hearing the word anyrad i swear to fucking god

[paper vapor]

No

Pale champ clears

[sweet charm]

yeah swear at rad

[rotund heath]

Mossy is better than anyrad

[sweet charm]

everyone knows that sherlock

[reef patio]

Elaborate

[midnight oasis]

Its a Dream No More reskin

[short sinew]

People already ruin their experience with the game very often by bashing their head against p5
Having it look more important, and be more included into the main game, would make more people try it, rage quit, and leave the game with a sour taste

[midnight oasis]

Except its slapped on top of a random sidequest

Which in return detracts from its meaning

[reef patio]

Except much edgier and way too fucking hard

And all you get is a lousy achievement too

[short sinew]

The ending is really fucking bad lore wise, because it’s an un understandable mess

[midnight oasis]

yeah which is why PoH should be fun as well

[rotund heath]

Anyway gtg to class now bye all

[reef patio]

I left the game witu a sour taste after last year too

so yes youre right

[short sinew]

In term of actual spectacle it does still give me shivers

[sweet charm]

ah americans

[reef patio]

P5 is so bad

[rotund heath]

Anyrad is still betyer

[midnight oasis]

the game is always sour

the only sweet bit is Pure Vessel

[rotund heath]

Ah normal people

[sweet charm]

thanks for calling me normal ig

[rotund heath]

I still dont know what the fuck a kilometer is

[reef patio]

Pure vessel is the best boss in the game

hands down

It combines everything I love about hk

[sweet charm]

an unit of messurment :)

[rotund heath]

How the fuck

Do

I

[midnight oasis]

Look at this absolute PEAK attack

[rotund heath]

Measure it

[midnight oasis]

Very gnarly

[rotund heath]

40000 french fries?

[sweet charm]

its a 1000 metters which are 100 centimeters wich are 10 milimeters not like 17-271-2983

[paper vapor]

pale champ

[midnight oasis]

Reminds me of this from Hyper Light Drifter
||https://youtu.be/6JeB1TWE_SY?t=31||

[rotund heath]

Well how would i convert normal measurement to kilometer

[reef patio]

He locked in‼️‼️

[sweet charm]

normal?

[reef patio]

seriously tho pure vessel is so fun and cool

[rotund heath]

Miles to kilometers

[midnight oasis]

oh dang discord doesn't embed time stamps

[rotund heath]

Anyway gtg for real now

Cya

[reef patio]

the game was fun but it has some sour moments

[rotund heath]

Anyrad is better than all other bosses @reef patio

[sweet charm]

ah yes the americans who thinks imperial is normal when 99% of the world uses metirc buts its about 2.1km=1 mile

[paper vapor]

pale champ clears

[midnight oasis]

This attack should do three damage tbh

[bleak gazelle]

99% of the world is cringe also that’s just wrong

[reef patio]

Its easy to avoid so I see where you’re going here

[sweet charm]

how is it wrong explain

[bleak gazelle]

It’s like 1.6 km to 1 mile

[paper vapor]

This is also easy gurl 😭😭

[reef patio]

Dont call me gurl

[sweet charm]

oh well sory i dont know what the fuck is a mille

[bleak gazelle]

Because you’re cringe

[reef patio]

“This is also eathy gurwl”🤓

[sweet charm]

you are cringe

[paper vapor]

alr

where’s the problem

[bleak gazelle]

Says the metric user

[sweet charm]

says the imperial user

[paper vapor]

there’s two difficult moments in that challenge it’s learning collector and not dying to nerves

[midnight oasis]

Metric users 🤢

https://tenor.com/view/nerd-emoji-nerd-meme-radar-gif-26497624

[rotund heath]

Done alr

[midnight oasis]

Real quick tell me who landed on the moon first

[bleak gazelle]

Collector isn’t even the hardest boss in p5ab smh

[rotund heath]

It wasnt easy but it wasnt hard

[sweet charm]

horay you just offended like 7.9 bilion people

[bleak gazelle]

Done

[reef patio]

Real quick recommend me games like hollow knight

[rotund heath]

Ori

[sweet charm]

just search for metroidowanias

[bleak gazelle]

Me
