It does suck when you have a bad strategy that you have to get out of
Playing elden ring rn and breezing thru the bosses w just spells
Learning to ||pogo over pv was especially annoying ||
Yeaa ||took me like 6 months to beat pure vessel bc of that, had to actually learn nail combat||
||“Just pogo over them” if I jump I will hit their head||
I love the fight but the pogoing can also be really inconsistent in my experience
No idea how ima beat them in ||p5|| lol, let alone ||absrad||
But yea practice should help
Maybe check out a spell based strategy? Ddark would help a lot
Mm could do, im too scatterbrained to memorise strategies unless i came up with them 
Same it takes a lot of practice
Esp when you’ve learnt the fight already
Yeah its harder to unlearn things than learn them..
I feel like ima be bad at silksong bc of that
At least for a while
I’m trying to do p5 before silksong because of that, if I end up coming back to it after silksong my muscle memory will be fried
Yeahh good point
Big ass is in fact in silksong
can you believe it guys? silksong, just a week away! silksong is in a week! woo hoo! i am so happy about this information. silksong, just a week away. oh, wow! can you believe it? silksong, just in a week! it got here almost fast.
I dreamt I played silksong it was so peak
Aunt from robots type ass
Samee except it was a weird fusion of hollow knight and anchordeep from cult of the lamb for some reason, havent played either game for years lmao
I think there were some rain world regions too
SILKSONG IN A WEEK! -eira
7 years —> 7 days
Good luck
I might beat persona 5 -eira
beat both
Silksong price reveal in just a week
I can’t wait to buy silksong for 1 silkilion geo
The servers are dying day 1 sadly
Just buy it before servers die
we managed that with deltarune but probably won't for silksong -eira
what time does it drop? -eira
Yeah thats how it happens
I didn't have any issues buying deltarune on release
In 6 days 23 hours 35 minutes
A friend of mine bought it and played for whole 16 minutes
Guys, Hollow Knight is gonna be released in 7 days!
Sad we couldnt get the Colosseum of Fools kickstarter goal, it looked cool 
But hey, best 30 bucks I spent on that game :D
I am so excited about this information!
I JUST BEAT P5 LETS FICKING GOOOOOOOO

🎉
I’m so glad it would’ve been a pain to get used to silksongs controls and have to come back to do p5
i hope they are somehow worse
WOW thats impressive. Did you beat 3.0? Or the first one? Either way thats insane
I hope apids are extint in silksong and all creatures use primal aspid bullet pattern
but 10 times faster
Damn spoilers
Idk if we're allowing rw spoilers in here but no there is no matching skin -eira
She is in the skin you mentioned somewhere though! -eira
6 days and one hour
Damn 
How so?
Surprise :) -maia
(It's slightly obscure so spoilers for where it is: ||winged nosk||) -maia
I finally managed to beat P3
i'll probably come back in like 6 months and beat P4 on my 3rd try as well
We can't wait for silksong modding to happen so we can make Pride Hornet Skin -maia
cant wait to use that skin 
Pantheon of farloom 
“I am become silksong, the silker of worlds” - Jane silksong
Oooo do pride skins exist for hollow knight?
I wanna get into hk modding but I’m terrified of my saves corrupting
Shameless self promotion but there's FOURTEEN pride skins -maia
We made them :) -maia
As long as you're careful and make backups you'll be fine -maia
Fourteen pride skins with more on the way -maia
As well as the ultimate pride singularity, where you get a different flag for each area of the game -maia
We made this :) -maia
aromantic flag spotted
you can just take your saves out of the game while you mod though cant you :0
Silksong movement seems way more fluid and complex so I imagine the sprite sheets r pretty big, prob gonna be harder to make skins
Well not harder necessarily just more time consuming
Don't worry I will nolife silksong for you
Sounds like plenty of time to run out of silksong
I have whole one day to play silksong
Then I'll keep playing silksong but at work
Awww they’re so cute
I hope they add a steam workshop. Please
Why not
But why 
Please it makes things so much easier team cherry plea
They're in the modding server or we can share the link here if you want to use the skin! -maia
Skins are super easy to use and run a super low risk of messing up a save -maia
Like nonexistent risk -maia
Since all it does is go "load these sprites instead" -maia
And as soon as the mod is gone it just goes back to normal function -maia
I might get into modding the thing is when I have to go into the games code to implement it I procrastinate lol
You don't -maia
It's not steam workshop, but hk does have a dedicated modloader -maia
So no downloading from extra sites or opening folders or messing with code or anything like that -maia
You just download the mod loader and pick which mods you want and you're done -maia
I’ll check it out! 
Ik custom knight requires that you open a folder and put skins in it but that's about it -maia
Highly recommend trying a randomizer if you do modding! It's a metroidvania classic and hk's is extremely fleshed out -maia
They've had 8 years to learn how to randomize practically everything you could possibly randomize
The entire journal. Every blade of grass. I think there's a lumafly rando now too -maia
My brother is skipping his piano class on the 4th to play Silksong and if that's not dedication I don't know what is
I skipped my wedding to play silksong
People born on sept 4th are gonna have the dr doofenshmirtz backstory
https://youtu.be/gzHRJm-hl2c?si=behbllchbcgd_iAC
nah, because pronouns ain’t gender, we should just refer to you as silksong today 
5 days till SHAW
Can we talk about this for a moment
Why does she strike a jojo pose and how does her neck not hurt
woah, spoilers
the real question is what type of bug
Jojo bug
Only 5 days
Can you believe it guys?
Silksong! In 4 days! Woohoo! I am so excited about this information. 
Yea.. 
silksong soon....
Silkson in 4 years guys! 
silksong in 2039
Silksong 2 in 2077. 
Moss bug. 
Silksong 4 tomorrow’s away?!?
Can’t wait to say silksong today
Booked Thursday and Friday off
Watching it rn
Something to sate the hunger
Leaked footage of steam workers the day before silksongs release
Mods are so biased I have made TWO pin worthy posts on here so far and not one of them has made it. I of course say this with no bias whatsoever

8 seconds · Clipped by Err3r · Original video "Silksong Demo 100% Speedrun in 10:36 [World Record + More thoughts and details!]" by BlueSR
AAAAHGHHHHH I WANNA WATCH IT BUT I DONT WANNA BE SPOILED I CAN WAIT O CAN WAIT ICAN WAIT

I CAN WAIT. I CAN WAIT. -chem
Shaw
shaw!
silksong is eating bug
my worst fear is see hornet in silksong
silkschlong in 4 days
ive never even played hk im just happy you guys are happy and i wanna be happy with you guys too
Spiderman dies in the end of silksog. 
It would be cool, but I don’t think I could beat it
Also why is that so high quality
This is the month where silksong is finally out
I wonder why there’s no preorders
Because TC didn't enable them
I'm going to cosplay hornet. Any ideas on what I should do
Well yeah but but why didnt tc enable them
Probably because they don't see some people getting the game 30 minutes later as a big deal
I doubt they expect the release to cause any steam issues
Yeah I’m sure the most wishlisted game suddenly having a lot of people download won’t cause any issues
See how much the Silksong demo changed over the years.
Footage:
2019 Demo: https://youtu.be/4slUmhFLuFk
2025 Demo: https://youtu.be/Bcel9t2ponQ and https://youtu.be/CTcAE-V4etw
Background music: https://youtu.be/9Nx23gKJs8Y and https://youtu.be/NSlkW1fFkyo?list=RDNSlkW1fFkyo
they don’t want it
also why they didn’t send copies to reviewers either
they don’t want some to get silksong earlier than others
i wonder if seth got to play an early edition of silksong
iirc he didn't end up surviving so i just wonder if he was able to at least see his character in action firsthand
I would think so
I just checked he seemed to have passed away shortly after posting about his character on reddit :( I don’t know if he got to play it but he definitely saw footage of his boss in action
yeah that's what i'm wondering, i really hope he did get to experience at least his character's fight even if the game wasn't finished at the time
3 days left
Silksong silksong I wait for silksong who sings who songs I want silk song
3 days is like. Incomprehensible to me. I’m used to games just never coming out
I can’t wait until people mod the knight in and try to beat bosses with its moveset
The names song.
Silk Song.
$20 is wild, thats like £16...
regional pricing 
it won’t be 20 dollars in uk
Silksong, for a cheap price
Huzzah!
I think it’ll be 20 quid in the uk
Idk if there converting prices based of different currencies and inflation rates
Tbf hollow knight is like £12.79 or smth so it might just be exact currency translation
Tomorrow will be one day away from silksong tomorrow
Silksong releases when I’m at work so I have to wait 3 extra hours to play it, heartbreaking 💔
Just play it at work obviously
If I weee
Sorry I had to post that it’s too funny
Fubking. R
If I were. Idk someone with a really important job I would play silksong ON RELEASE
My job could be pressing the button that stops earth from being hit by an asteroid and I would play it on release
Im sooo tempted to call in sick but i cant afford to do that 
Means you get to skip that part when steam dies and you can't buy the game for another hour
My strategy was being unaware this is a possibility and nothing bad has happened yet.
But if we abolish capitalism then no silksong 🥺
If no capitalism TC would've just given us silksong for free
Guys I have bad news. I got sick. 2 days before silksong. Badly. I need your strength pray for me I need to be in my peak form for silksong release
Illnes suckkks

If no capitalism then no. Macdonandl :c
Ikkk im so annoyed bc i injured my hand somehow so using a controllers a bit painful...not gonna stop me playing silksong but im rlly annoyed abt it 
Hope you get better soon though, gotta be in peak condition for silksong 
Damn none of us are in the best position for silksong release 😭
SILK SONG IS SONGING GUYZ!!!!!!!
2 days 
Moving our doctor consult (nothing time sensitive dw) so we can play more silksong
Reall
Okay it's mostly because we won't be able to focus on ANYTHING
ADIDAS
I HAVE TO GET BETTER FOR SILKSONG
Silksong 1 day gone
sil sog in 20,818,627,513 years
Genuinely hope the success of silksong despite it being priced at like $20 will encourage games to stop being like…$80 on release bc it’s getting ridiculous lately
I want silksong to outsell every overpriced triple A game ever made -strawberry
Omg you're red 
Theres a grub plush so prob will get a flea one
I want a plushie of the bell beast theyre so cute
skong tomorrow
guess i wont be there playing it tomorrow tho 😔 (gotta prioritize college)
there is
i’m not sure if silksong gonna use default suggested prices or no though
Doesn't hk use default regional pricing
ouh silksong tomorrow
I just realised
I have exactly 5 one and a half hour long college classes tomorrow and ONLY tomorrow isn't that ironic
That can’t be based on an actual flea right
Just realised
Grubs 🤝 fleas
Looking nothing like their name
smh
what about hornet

Silksong tomorrow...
All those "Repost to delay Silksong" worked (they delayed it by 1 picosecond each)

Deltarune SILKSONG Tomorrow
We did it skongers
But at what cost?
What will we chant at game presentations?
What will we be coping for years to come?
Whatever cool thing team cherry decides to make next, I think -strawberry
First it was Death Stranding, then it came Elden Ring, a while later Deltarune (part 3) and now Silksong
time to go back to the clasics
Silksong cope has been going on for 7 years -strawberry
Ultrakill Treachery
The silksanity has finally ended -strawberry
Hello hive lord from the game helldivers 2
or GTA6 is still there
Gta6 isn't worth coping for -eira
Who knows when that thing is gonna release
Teue….
Do we have a date for Fraud anyways? They did that trailer
but I don't remember if it had a date
Pretty sure it’s a confirmed 2025
Then you can wait for that XD
guys should I stay home for Silksong or nah
What do you guys think about silksong being a prequel
Like how likely do you think it is
I saw a video with evidence but it’s like 4 years old so idk if it’s outdated
Well the steam page originally said it's a sequel, I'd like to think they didn't change the story to be a prequel that far into development
Or maybe it always referred to it being the second game
Im not sure, either way 24 1/2 hours untill we know :)
I mean they could say it’s a sequel to hide it
They could've just not said anything to hide it
Speculative discussions ab silksong feel so weird now because. We will know
It’s not 600 years away anymore
I’m referring to the countdown until steam probably crashes
I’ve been having some issues w steam but idk if that’s silksong related
I’ve seen steam servers talked ab but not nintendo or Xbox
I heard steam crash during deltarune release wasn't related to it
I hope it can handle silksong
I’m imagining hundreds of thousands of players all downloading a game at once can’t be good for the servers
Have xbox/nintendo servers ever crashed from a game release?
Yeah I think octo expansion destroyed the servers iirc
I just remember download times being awful when they released it
Man I wouldn’t remember I pre ordered and spent the next few weeks engrossed
Yeah fair, I didn’t actually play it until a few years later lol
It was good though
Oh wait, it's still a sequel
Silksong tomorrow
Silksong today
20 dollars the cost

but hornet didn’t leave hallownest ever
hornet is supposed to protect the kingdom
I mean she is kidnapped so
SOME GROUND RULES FOR THIS THREAD ONCE SILKSONG DROPS:
- everything about silksong belongs in here, not other channels
- spoiler tag everything for silksong even in here. the game could be pretty non-linear, so something you've already done could be giga spoilers for someone else, and we don't want people joining the thread and instantly being blasted with a face full of spoilers
- you don't have to spoiler tag hollow knight content, but it'd be nice if you did because idk some people might be playing silksong having not played hollow knight and we don't want to ruin that too
have fun and happy silksong day!
i won 
Silksong tomorrow!!!
HOLLOW KNight dies at the ending!!!

||hornet goes "shaw",, and then hallownest explodes||
Anything’s possible
silksong is the final boss btw
In celebration I have done radiant ||pure vessel||
my friend works at the time cherry
in celebration we've been working on our hk skin even more -eira
For silksong?
not for silksong, though we 100% will be making a silksong skin once customhornet drops -eira
Hornets model seems rather limiting in terms of custom skins
model???
i mean her sprite size is much larger and she has way more sprites
there might even be more options -eira
Sprite I mean
the biggest limit on the knight is that sprite size can be a challenge to work with, you have to use special tools that take ages to use to edit the size limit of sprites -eira
A lot of work but it does seem to have potential
hk skins are a ton of work, even for simple changes -eira
Couldn’t ||radiant absrad because I got sick but I did manage her on ascended so||
rain world uses an evil third option that is something scary i don’t even want to understand it 
Alas I have yet to beat ||p5||
Which precept is that
well, it works for very smooth animations in rain world
, but afaik it’s pretty difficult to make (@no rw discussion but it’s nothing specific so i can say it
)
Very epic
you missed a quotation mark
Does zote know about the employment crisis
it’s supposed to be '[x]' and "[x]", not mix of them
. and so it would be "'Show the Enemy No Respect'" which is kinda weird
there is no employment in hallownest except succumbing to the power of light
i cant believe im actually going to wake up with silksong tomorrow its insane 
I hope it takes me like 40 hours to beat it
Just completely blind
Tomorrow was like a movie
I want to play it so bad but every time i try playing à game i just forget about it in somewhere in the middle of it 
It happened with hollow knight lol i just forgot to continue playing
I have to lock in for silksong lest I get spoiled
silksong tomorrow !!!!!!
Hollow Knight needle real?
where is it shown? 
steamdb
it seems like it was reverted
because it’s 14:00:00 utc on steamdb but i can’t find where this change was displayed 
It was just a treat for daily silksong news (that way they can talk about something)

because I made it up in inspect element as a joke 
randi moth 54
you don’t update it manually, do you? 
Oh gods they delayed silksong!

I can't believe team cherry made all of that
what a studio!
Trully a dedicated indie team
Can't wait for fraud dlc for silksong
yeah, team of cheery did this
"hollow knight: silksong" from the creators of a hit game "hungry knight"
Explains why Silksong was so delayed
Though, who made Deltarune part 4? I see they made part 3 but obviously they must've spent all of next week working on skong (which is all the time it took) to make it rather then p4!
deltarune part 4*
Yea, I can't wait for Silksong 8-S where we fight SHAW thousands of Fraudulent bugs
if horizon 6 is more than 125$ i aint buying it 💔
it was their pr manager
he doesn't have much to do anyway so
A lot of people mention that AAA as we know it today is about to implode
correction uhh forgot i had horizon 5 premium release
Ahh, makes sense, explains why Leth hasnt talked to us in 6 years
since each year games are more "safe" (boring), and expensive due to buisness decisions
if horizon 6 is more than 50$ i aint buyin it 💔
while AA and Indie prosper usually with cheper prices and smaller experiences
if horizon 6 is in ANOTHER sandy place i aint buyin it either 💔
Ehh, I think your overblowing it
They are unpopular by most? Yes, but people will keep buying their products, its a case of games that people are familiar with, its just like music
I never even touched any AAA game in my life
They even stopped marketing for half of their games now since people already expect them to come out
who cares, i don’t play aaa games 
for the uninitiated, forza horizon (3 to today) started to take place in more sandy and open environments. and this shit's boring you can drive from point A to point B in a straight line without any advanced navigation
Black Ops 7 barely has had any marketing recently, but hey it already compares to the other cod games in terms of sales, so it really doesnt matter
How bad does it even have to get for people to stop buying aaa slop
scam territory
Trust me, bad
Really really really bad
Quite a bit of big names are in some financial trouble like Ubisoft. What I mean is the current model (super long developments + live servicies) will transition to something else.
This yes, it has to be THIS bad
And that is the issue XD
like, you don't get what you were told you will type scam
aaa games are for people who aren’t gamers 🔥
I only play mobile games
I know, Anthem is a game that comes to mind, it promised everything and gave nothing, died quickly
Which ones?
True gamers play WWW games (WaWaWa)
All of them
why? :0 not buying games from big companies would show them that maybe they should change something
Do you play the pokemon card game?
I spent approximately 10 million USD because I couldn't bother waiting for lives to regenerate on Candy Crush
I don't think indie fans staying away from aaa is enough to make a difference
Correct, the issue I talk is that the big entertainment corporation are losing ground (and money) which is quite literaly the only thing they care about 99% of time. Ergo they are failing.
how many ads you know by memory now
My mom unironically beat Candy Crush's levels after a few years lol, she now plays other candy crush likes
everyone should stay away from AAA and give all of their mortal possessions to indie devs!!!
I have a Mafia City shrine, because that's how mafia works.
Eh, we shouldnt treat AAA games like the plague, its just that most of them are pretty lazy creativity wise due to execs, doesnt change that there are a few good ones that you should try out and play
Do you think gta 6 will be good
Just do what people used to do
Im mainly joking, I dont really have much of an opinion on AAA games
what about gta 7
I think it'll be good with a lot of incentives to buy the in-game currency, hence how they'll get their money
don't buy until you read a review, and you will see if it's absolute slop or a good game
Ah yes, gta online 2
they're very screamy it seems. Why are they AAAAAAAAAAAAA
With how much work Rockstar puts into their titles its going to probably be good, but yeah they are going to milk us dry
or refund if you can
do you think there will be lootboxes in silksong with silkcoins
They need to scream less smh smh
yes and gacha ofc
I think its the only part of the game that makes sense smh smh, only good part tbh
How do you think they can afford offering the 20 USD price
Im still salty I failed the fifty fifty and got the 5 star zote instead of the knight, shits so ass
They need lootboxes to give the sense of pride and accomplishment to players.
Ok, Im gonna go bike home now, cya yall 
to give them a mark of pride
EXACTLY
The server needs that too smh, we should put it into the challenge chats! Call it the Rain Pearls!
Don't disrespect Zote, unlike the knight it needs to prep a bit but when you have 10 summoners all attacking the boss you can slightly outmatch the Knight SPS (Song Per Second).

now, Batflies/Monks/Survivors/Hunters/Watchers are paid for ranks
watchers cost 30 dollars
Naaa they are Lootbox ranks
you pay 10$ and roll the 1% of Surv or higher
wow why so cheap
Finally, I can get the paycheck like I was promised when becoming a snaff!
But yeah no, 30 bucks is wayyyy too cheap, each role will be in their own individually colored rain pearl, $2.50 each and there will be so much filler that its about a 0.1% chance to get it
Im just gonna throw money at it until the boss dies smh, setup is for nerds
Ima be honest, the biggest turn off I have for gachas is hearing my friends play it
One of them spent over 200 dollars to get a character in genshin, only to fail the 50/50 (this was before the pity system let you get it no matter what)
Never been a fan of lootbox mechanics after hearing that tbh
(wasnt before but I was mostly neutral)
It depend of the game, but yea lootboxes tend to not be worth your money
and a lot of games are "either farm for a few hours or give us 20$ each day"
I think it's a bad mechanic no matter what game
I'd prefer to know what exactly I'm paying for
Even those lootboxes that are "worth it" tend to give you a lot of stuff you don't want
Yeah, League of Legends tried to do it and the backlash was so high they retroactively removed it (the "Exalted" skins needed an average of 200 dollars to get)
Free lootbox is fine-ish when not really needed or easily accesible in big quantities, but yea if you pay is better to just give a VIP currency that can buy stuff without the randomness
Yes I am still caught up with League of legends news after not playing it for years
hot take, the worst thing that can happen to a game is fortnite-ification
(battle pass, daily store, skins, crossovers etc)
I'll take that over predatory monetization
Though battle pass isn't great either
I just want a game I'd want to play for fun, not because there's some obligatory goal I have to complete or else I'm missing out on something
Some of this things are not a big problem by itself. But when all are combined they can be a bit problematic. BP if F2P friendly is a good way to keep people engage with your game for example, while crossovers in less serious games like Fall Guys where it's not a REAL STORY but just the player controling some faceless character for fun can also be fun.
LOL, someone is doing a 100% HK Archivement speedrun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgQVk7B35uU
SILKSONG TOMORROW
I figured this was a fitting way to bookend the Hollow Knight chapter. 7+ hours of suffering and pain, and getting all 63 of Hollow Knight's achievements in one go. It'll be fun!!

How cute
Guys I have bad news
YouTube is evil for recommending me this I didn’t see the date
silksong tomorrow
Rooky mistake. You will learn to read the date before the title soon enough
Silksong never
Not real
nah it is
Silksong today
Silkposting less than 24 hours before release is crazy
:silkclose:
Goated.
cant believe we have to wait another infinite years for silksong now

I will never beat p5.
soggysong tomorrow
Sorry I phrased my previous message wrong, I meant to say that I didn’t think I could either. Very sorry
Oh lmao 
I didn't even see it
Dw about it, I probably still woulda laughed anyway. 
Silksong today
:D
SKONG
Real (school is delaying my silksong till like at least 12
)
Silksong soundtrack situation is crazy
5 hours!! I cant play it till like 8 hours but I am so hypeddd 
lol the steam store is messed up for me
steam's crashing already?
For me
Idk about everyone else
Ok time for a question that WON’T be answered when silksong comes out. What bugs are the fleas in silksong because they clearly aren’t fleas it’s really bugging (sorry) me. Are they really just grubs 2.0 being a kind of mash of different bugs? Grubs we’re kind of clear what they were based on though
They’re probably based on those fluffy mites
But it’s mostly just stylised to be cute, I wouldn’t think too much into it
? Never heard of those
Could also be based on wooly aphids
just wait for the mossbag silksong bug analysis 
I’ve done a bit of research and I think I might have found the inspiration. They could be very stylised Japanese bee flies
Let’s have a silksong
4 hours remain...
I’m very proud of myself for this because I think it really is what they’re based on but knowing tc it’s probably something entirely different
Also the species is so incredibly niche there’s a blank in so many of Wikipedia pages for them. Sad
shawsong
cant believe we got silksong before silksong
gddp

real
they're so cute 
Today
Today!!!
it releases at 12am siiiigh
Does adding funds to your account help not overload the servers? I’ve been seeing some stuff on hk server about it
Silksong <t:1756994400:R>
It probably won't overload the servers less but it will save you checkout time so you might beat the inevitable crash
Breaking: Silksong release causes Steam servers to combust, Valve to recover "when the 3 arrives"
Oh gosh I hope it doesn’t crash since I’m getting two copies 
(One for a friend and one for myself)
dw it wont (hopefully)
Well their gonna have the money to fix it, based on the 425000 people who have wishlisted silksong and steams 30% cut, they're looking at a overnight ~2.5m US so it's nit like they won't have the financial incentive to keep the servers up
ik. its just a joke bc of what happened during deltarune chapter 3+4 lo
skong is a social experiment designed by a harvard psychology student by the name of ari gibson. He created hollow knight in order to build a fandom and establish a control group for a healthy fanbase and studied the decay of said fandom after announcing silksong. The release of silksong on september 4th marks the end of his research and "silksong" will be a irus that steals all of the user's data and upload it onto ari gibson's secret computer to be further analyzed.
low quality gif of shaw dancing the macarena
Nah that’s worth it 
Batten down the hatches, this thread is in server announcements now
2 hours 
So close…
How much longer now
2 hours 11 minutes!!
hang on in there
2 hours until Silksong wohoo
Oh my god if you’re in the hk discord server check the vc
treu...
Anyone else binging lore videos in preparation for silksong
LOLL
Your taking too long
Quick people, you can already play Hollow Knight: Silkpost
So ready, I got an awful night of sleep :)
R.I.S.
1 hour remains!

i was gonna stay home but things happened now I gotta DO stuff
i want to die
nah I got it early
Silkposting
Bad news guys, silksong is nothing like hollow knight
Btw Do we have a rule about Playing/Streaming SilkSong in VCs?
I don't know! Lemme check
Mainly for the Spoiler rule of "everthing in this channel"
You see the game someone's streaming before joining vc, don't see why it'd be a problem
Mainly because thumbnail spoilers I would guess?
Just don't join the stream if you don't want to get spoiled
skonger below me will now have to eat ice cream with shaw plushie 
Oh there are thumbnails
if the channel description is about silksong then that should suffice as a warning
Yeah we're leaning towards "get someone to mark the vc as silksong spoilers"
Oh my god, theres like 300 ppl in 6 vcs 
And those are the ones that doesn't care about eachoter spoilers XD
somebody would be posting the final boss 10 minutes after the release 
R-Hornet 1 done, time for R-Hornet 2
People are already posting about the final boss
Honestly-
Thanks to ost names
LMAO??

where are the ost names
On steam

the final boss is me -chem
Silksong ost situation is insane
The soundtrack can be bought and somewhere you can see the names
something similar happened to Deltarune 3+4
ya but i didnt know the soundtrack names were public on steam already 
ost
No then
i'd say its safe to click 
pls team cherry delay silksong we are not ready
It's Silksong
Wow
what if the final boss is the hollow knight
Can't believe you just spoiled the final boss

the final boss is the silks we songed along the way
i mean... hollow knight is in the name...
Silksong….
20 minutes
I cannot believe it’s about to be real
i want to fight the moon
the final boss is The Hollow Knight: Silksong
Naaa Hornet is the Silksong, the final boss is their evil twin Cottonmusic
I would love if HK somehow got to pharloom or smth, love their lore
Stealing this 
After getting the Rad detox, he is just a NPC that helps Hornet (they are half-siblings after all)
Arghhh why must work exist 
I can play it in like, 4 hours
So hyped
that sucks so much im sorry for you

I hope silksong's story stays separated from hk
oh i took today and tommorow off of work for this
Yeah i think they said at somepoint that any ending can be interpreted as canon to silksong? So doubt itll be a direct followup, more of just lil hints here and there
Silksong will be tied to hollow knight in some way, just by hornet being the main character
Why it's a GIF?
awaaaaa
tommorow is your name going to be silksong yesterday
skurry btw
To what degree remains to be seen
Aww new skurry vid too!? Shouldve called in sick today smh
I cannot…. Believe the day…. has arrived
when it releases you should change it to silksong now...
Silksong is real.
i didn’t even need to pretend to be sick
i’m actually sick 
at least silksong though
I can't wait to hide away from the internet for the next week!
Real
this truly has been... A Silksong...
Ive managed to avoid watcher spoilers for months but thisll be a whole nother level
Silksong is in 15 minutes.

Do you think they'll press the release button few mins early

It's ok, I've already experienced most of the game by watching the trailer

I can’t wait for team cherry to announce that they’re delaying Silksong in 7 mins
I love having classes so i wont be able to play until like 3 hours after
I can't wait for Hornet to play a Song on some Silk
First we silk then we song
GO SILKGENDER
skip the classes
im tempted…
what if the night in the woods fandom comes back
dont actually, classes are important
7 minutes!!!!!
There's no way hornet doesn't use her needle and the string of silk as a fishing rod right
How much time do you plan to play once it comes out lol
I wonder how the hk discord is
6 
rapidly refreshing the page right now
like 200 people in vc
I know i knowww
i cant wait to download hollow knight silksong on steam in 6 minutes only to open it up and have it tell me the real release date in 7 more years
cant believe steam crashes in 5 minutes
5 minutessssss
No cost too great for silksong
5 MINS!

3 days left for hollow knight 2
I can't wait for steam servers to implode in 5 minutes (download speed would take 1h)
It’s struggling to load lmao
another more hour for it to download is gonna feel like 3 years 
Everybody get your steam funds ready!!!
can someone invite me to the hk discord server
they were ready earlier this week
Just look it up and you’ll find and invite
Same x2
alr
https://discord.gg /hollowknight

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 
LAST MINUTE
Here
reloading the page is starting to take longer and longer lol
eeee so close
WE WILL SILK AND WE WILL SONG
I wouldn't expect it to release exactly on time
the original backers get access to the hornet dlc for hollow knight a week before everyone else 
it crashed lol
We did it
Silksong time
No cost too great.
No wallet to thin.
No will to break.
No internet to cry suffering.
Born of Silk and Song.
You shall release the blinding darkness that plagues their despair.
You are the Skong.
You are the Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Welp
NOO
Aaaand steams down LMAO
Oh no 
😂
LMFAOOOOOOO
steam has exploded
it's still alive for me
we DDOS'd bois

rookie mistake
Thanks steam
HOLLOW KNIGHT
This is a funny world we live in
Not even a single minute LMAO
Two weeks to prepare and this
TOGETHER WE ARE SILKSONG
Yooo, this first boss looks super cool
Welp might as well finish installing the HD2 patch while waiting for the black hole to form from the servers
Yooo I got a green one 
i bet the switch players are already playing it 
It’s gone down for me </3
lmao i guessed it
still not in the eshop for me
other parts of steam are also slowing down
LMAOOO THE ESHOP CRASHED
Oh my
It doesn’t let me add to cart 
silksong is literally the bane of all game distributers
oh my god the eshop gave me a error and crashed
the swarm has arrived
steam already dead lol
Haha wonder if ps store did too
completely
doesn't matter because you can't really buy it right now
This item is not yet available
how
steam actually all crashed for me
valve watching the servers combust into flames while not anticipating a far-more-deltarune-dangerous level of "DDoS attack":
yay!
Well one of us got it at least lmao
silksong page on the eshop don’t work….
are you chosen
i live right next to one of their servers
dont spoil us!!
not even on the title screen!
also guys don’t even open the hollow knight discord server it will crash your discord
Gimme a sec
i don’t doubt tbh
@split sluice WHYD YOU OPEN ULTRAKILL 
Well it was nice knowing you all, I will enter my no-outside-communication zone for the next year, maybe two
steam crashed LMAOOOOO
i genuinely have never seen the ESHOP crash
i mean once its downloaded, it might be a while before we can even get it
it literally isn’t loading the silksong page
THE SILKSONG, THE SILKSONG IS REALLL!!!
Waiting for steam to stop exploding
My steam refuses to let me buy the Skong
im so lucky
hehehhee
insane to actually see it here........
I loaded the page but it doesn't add it to the cart

slowly getting throught the process lol

How did they manage to make silksong take less space than hk anyway
THE PAGE LOADED FOR LIKE A SECOND BUT CRASHED AGAIN 
Gonna do a wrath playthrough and hope things are slightly calmer
Sameee
We’re Barack
hi eshop can you pls load silksong i wanna give you money
its been a long time since hollow knight, many optimisations no doubt
ITS DOWNLOADING
I think my ultrakill might be exploding as well because of silksong
Just in time
i added 4 to my cart by accident, dont worry it doesnt let you proceed to payment until you remove all but one copy
oops wrong emote
Shit sorry
thats HK
i’m so jealous of everyone here…. eshop exploded
No

Steams gone for me. Can’t add to cart </3
Ok I will celebrate
Ps store is working either💔

Now silksong page is dead again
Hell on earth/silly
MY STEAMS JUST ON A BLACK SCREEn 
I’m just getting errors pfff
It says something is in my cart this is huge
its not loading the game
Same here 
pls eshop let me buy the game
yeah same problem can't actually stuff it in my cart. gets an error. darn steam you should have guessed it would break
Man I should’ve stayed asleep
now you get to the part where you cant buy it because there was an error processing your transaction 
As if you could fall asleep knowing silksong is out
Between steam doing nothing and tc having no pre orders it’s no wonder it crashed
ok im in now
True….
Prolly better to wait a bit . .
Ok people tomorrow morning. 10am silksongs coming to town
ah I have 2 copies in my cart now lol. at least it's only 2
i’m going to explode please eshop

Waiting for my carttt
FINALLY
Omg there's something in my cart
I’m gonna go to the gym for a bit to give steam some time to recover
I can't wait to play 'GetStoreItemType'
Well there’s two in my cart but I can’t remove one 

well, buy me one, duh!
actually you should buy 10 copies so team cherry knows you love hollow knight
i cant get it 
haha I have 2 copies in my cart but I can neither buy them nor delete them
I’m trying so hard
still trying to buy silksong
When the cart loaded again I had like 5 haha
ok time to make 10 more accounts on my switch so i can buy more silk songs
8 minutes left

True
im on the payment method screen this is the farthest ive gotten 
i have 4 silksongs in my cart and i can view none of them
I BOUGHT SKONG FUCK YEAH!!!!
this is the longest 8 minutes of my life
can my switch download silksong faster pls
I need silksong
Ps5 when
Selfmade strawberry Icecream while waiting for Steam to stop dying
I love how Steam is imploding, not only the SS page, also the cart and Payment pages being nuked into oblivion by le funny bug
silksong is SHREDDING steam
I can’t even access the shop on my mobile steam app. Just.. all online is dead for me
We killed Steam!
Okay I have 1 in my cart but it’s still crashing
I have two in my cart and it’s not having a good time
A friend of mine is already playing and getting angry at arrow movement instead of wasd movement
