[deep hemlock]

[dull ivy]

[deep hemlock]

[light widget]

Spoiler ahead || SHE CAN SPEAK ?!||

[dull ivy]

and my knee hurting is a blessing in disguise

[unique lily]

[deep hemlock]

[feral bobcat]

What happened

[light widget]

|| i did but i thought it would be like MC cant speak type of trope ||

[dull ivy]

[feral bobcat]

How much u squat

[deep hemlock]

[echo hazel]

[white lotus]

[dull ivy]

[deep hemlock]

[feral bobcat]

Aye my goat good work keep it up
I dont do 1rep maxs but i heard they're fun as hell

Did u hit calves tho

Moment of judgement

[dull ivy]

If there's one thing I'm proud about my body, it's my calves

Haha

[feral bobcat]

Shiiii

If theres one thing im not proud of its my calves

[dull ivy]

I used to ride bicycles a lot when I was younger, that helped

[feral bobcat]

Lanky ass skinny build during childhood so i dont have much to work with

[jolly locust]

so whos account can i borrow to play silksong on?

my cart isnt loading

but its added atleast

[feral bobcat]

Gabe Newell's probably

[light widget]

im currently playing so sorry no can do

[echo hazel]

cart is dead yeah

[rustic falcon]

by the way this may be a stupid thing to say but expect actual spoilers when you click on the spoiler tags now. i dont think ppl are being funny anymore they just wanna talk abt the game and if they are funny.... 🕵️ you will never know

[feral bobcat]

No im stupid and forget things in 5 seconds im gucci
Good word of advice for others tho

[light widget]

if there are more in the next 45 minute i will click on them, but not tomorrow, after my shift tonight starts the danger zone !

[dull ivy]

[rustic falcon]

[clear python]

||dumbledore dies at end of silksong||

[deep hemlock]

|| lace killed dumbledore||

[dull ivy]

My cat keeps rolling her toys under the fridge

[feral bobcat]

||hornet found my missing dad||

[dull ivy]

She's now with my wife looking out the window for birds

[deep hemlock]

||ah in the dairy region of Pharloom very nice||

[dull ivy]

well if this steam thing keeps up for another hour I might hit the gym then come back to it

bicep day today

[boreal isle]

i’m ngl this is kinda pathetic on steam’s end

[dull ivy]

To be fair you can't really plan for this, it's an unprecedented scenario.

[jolly locust]

All console stores are down aswell

[dull ivy]

You'd expect this for GTA VI, not Silksong.

[boreal isle]

the only thing they do is sell games

[boreal isle]

i was able to buy it fine on switch

[dull ivy]

yeah but you need to scale the servers for increased traffic, you can only predict so much

[dull ivy]

Friend of mine couldn't

[deep hemlock]

same

i think it depends on region

[jolly locust]

I know PlayStation is down atleast but probably a lot less there compared to pc

[dull ivy]

I had an easier time buying tix for Corinthians x Palmeiras lmao

(context: Brazil's biggest football match)

if I can make an analogy, it'd be like Lakers x Celtics

[echo hazel]

silksong has instantly hit top sellers

[dull ivy]

and somehow, a tiny bug with a needle managed to kill off all gaming storefronts

lol. lmao even.

[rustic falcon]

yeppppp shes just that good

no one does it like her

it took her nearly a decade to do it but no one does it like her

[fathom juniper]

Oh lord it’s happening

So I guess I won’t be posting dumb shooter stuff here for a while

[unique lily]

IM ON THE TITLE SCREEN RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

[echo hazel]

I'm still on the cart 🥲

[boreal isle]

my steam.exe literally crashed

[rustic falcon]

youre being escorted out of your own territory smh

its ok give her a gun

LMAO

uh oh

[echo hazel]

hollow point: silksong coming soon

[boreal isle]

is there a randomizer for silksong yet

[dull ivy]

yep, still trying to make it past checkout

[fathom juniper]

Did you guys really crash steam ?

[light widget]

so i enjoyed my 45 min of Song, praying for you all to get it soon aswell, gotta have to go to work now 🫡

[fathom juniper]

Im still at wörk and I can’t check

[dull ivy]

I can't even log in Steam

[fathom juniper]

OH COME ON

[echo hazel]

yes

[fathom juniper]

I WANNA SHOOT STUFF

and steal peoples cats and such

[echo hazel]

it's just the store

[fathom juniper]

Ah

[dull ivy]

HANDS OFF LIARA

[echo hazel]

your library is fully accessible

[fathom juniper]

Wot

[dull ivy]

My cat lmao

[fathom juniper]

Ah

I thought you meant the blue mass effect lady

[dull ivy]

yeah, she's named after her

[signal kayak]

Oh you sweet summer child
Steam, all console stores and even GOG are all down at the same time
It's that bad

[fathom juniper]

[echo hazel]

i accidentally put the game in my cart twice and now I can't remove one of the copies

[fathom juniper]

Oh no how terrible

[dull ivy]

okay I was able to log in

[dull ivy]

it's a sign for you to gift a copy

[echo hazel]

none of my friends are interested

[fathom juniper]

Or just double stack silksong

Two displays, two gamepads

[echo hazel]

steam doesn't let you purchase the same thing twice

[fathom juniper]

Not with that attitude

[dull ivy]

the only store still up is Epic, because they don't sell the game

[signal kayak]

HA! Losers!

[fathom juniper]

LMAO

[rustic falcon]

not for you, but if youre generous you can gift it to someone else from the same cart

[echo hazel]

and now the cart page is dead again

[rustic falcon]

amazing qol feature btw it allowed me to gift a game for a lot of people at once 🙏 amazing that its finally a feature after however many years steamexisted

[dull ivy]

||The Knight turned into the Void Entity and crashed all game stores. Embrace the Void is canon.||

[feral bobcat]

Lmfao twinning

[dull ivy]

Spoiler on Silksong's first boss:

||the green blob from Steam's error message||

[fathom juniper]

[dull ivy]

oh well, guess I'll hop into tf2 for a while then

[echo hazel]

I'm still stuck on cart

[feral bobcat]

Lmao im alsonon tf2

So like i managed to remove one silksong but it still wont lemme checkout

[dull ivy]

yeah the payment process part is completely down

and still, the storefront is still suffering

some major s*** is going on

I'm not sure how Steam stores their marketplace platform, if it's self hosted or they use IaaS but damn, I'd hate to be a network engineer there right now

[echo hazel]

cart and payment processing are both down

[dull ivy]

so I'll just annoy people with the sydney sleeper while they fix things

[deep hemlock]

Hmm if anyone playing with kbm can they tell me how smooth the controls are?

[feral bobcat]

Ye

[dull ivy]

I'll tell you once I manage to get the game but I use a gamepad mostly

[deep hemlock]

Ty

[echo hazel]

I'm a kbm player you'll probably get the game sooner than me 😐

[hearty yarrow]

At this rate the actual release date is sept 5th

[dull ivy]

people in tf2 don't understand the concept of capturing the point lmao

[feral bobcat]

Or healing

[echo hazel]

most people still playing don't play to win, it's just to screw around

[feral bobcat]

When im TOPSCORING

[echo hazel]

tryhards 🫵 😂

[feral bobcat]

Im just better

[dull ivy]

well I'm one to talk, I'm messing around as sniper with the sydney sleeper lmao

I'm terrible at sniper

[fathom juniper]

that's a new one

haven't seen this kind of error before

[dull ivy]

I've never seen an indie game crash the game market this hard

[fathom juniper]

yeah

same

[dull ivy]

you'd expect this from GTA VI

not silksong lmao

[fathom juniper]

the only thing i expect from gta6 is to make gaming worse for everyone for decades to come

[dull ivy]

or even HL3

[fathom juniper]

okay
i'm in

i'm gonna stand my ground as the last person here not playing silksong lmao

[dull ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/iota-iota-foundation-rick-and-morty-morty-im-in-gif-21733730

[dull ivy]

give in to the skong

Ask not for whom the silk sings.

It sings for thee.

[fathom juniper]

listen - if i wanted to watch a bunch of bugs jumping all over my screen i'd tune in to asmongold lmao

[dull ivy]

And somehow, you play through hordes and hordes of Hades' minions.

oh look, 2fort.

sigh let's do it

[fathom juniper]

2fort or not 2fort

that is the question

[dull ivy]

I have a love-hate relationship with that map

[fathom juniper]

and the whole game, it seems

hey - been there too

[dull ivy]

I've been playing this game for 15 years

I still have the DVD for it

[echo hazel]

steam payment processing page is still down

can't buy the game still

[fathom juniper]

you guys are literally getting stickbugged irl lol

[dull ivy]

okay I can't deal with 2fort

[boreal isle]

almost 2 hours later and i can't play

[echo hazel]

[dull ivy]

[elder ivy]

[dull ivy]

and now Steam logged me out too

wonderful

I'm not even angry, I'm amazed

[echo hazel]

same

[dull ivy]

but imagine those who planned their whole day for it

[rustic falcon]

This is kind of amazing

[fathom juniper]

a tale as old as time

[dense kindle]

please let me buy the freaking game

[echo hazel]

ong

[elder ivy]

team cherry does NOT want your money

[dense kindle]

its like launch day for an mmo expansion where you're waiting for hours to log in

[rustic falcon]

Never say this about the purple pikmin when you’re being mean to me on the internet this is who you’re being mean to

[dense kindle]

if you've never played an mmo during its heyday, this is what its like

[elder ivy]

yeah it's the same picture!!!

[fathom juniper]

hell yeah

[elder ivy]

I see no difference

[dense kindle]

why you so goated in the games youre in

[echo hazel]

I'm on the payment processing screen so it doesn't show a pikmin

[fathom juniper]

this pinkmin worked customer service for 10 years and now looks like this

[rustic falcon]

I’m just that good

[boreal isle]

i wanna kill him in real life

[elder ivy]

💔

[dense kindle]

alright bye chat gonna mute for 24 hours

[boreal isle]

[echo hazel]

[elder ivy]

wdym you moved out???

[rustic falcon]

I also moved out to play video games

[boreal isle]

yes bro

[dense kindle]

bro I had a birthday just for this

[boreal isle]

i also quit my job

and sold my belongings

[elder ivy]

😔

I'm so susceptible to bait sometimes

[dense kindle]

maybe preorders are a good thing sometimes

especially since you can always refund on steam basically

[rustic falcon]

I never lie

[fathom juniper]

OH GOD

[fathom juniper]

i tried to kick open a door and some lady walked in from the other side and i clicked the button the exact same moment she opened it for me from the other side and ended up drop-kicking her to the stratosphere

and now everyone is screaming and shooting at me

[elder ivy]

lmaooooo

[fathom juniper]

it was a genuine accident

god i love this dumb game

[echo hazel]

skong has 341k viewers on twitch

[fathom juniper]

is that a lot?

[elder ivy]

YES

[echo hazel]

it's the highest viewed category right now

on the whole platform

[elder ivy]

next to dota 2????

[dense kindle]

https://x.com/prantare/status/1963608275720470604

Fredrik Präntare (@prantare)

Silksong just crashed Paypal, SteamDB, Steam, and now my aunt can't log into Duolingo.

Society is collapsing.

Apparently the fourth horseman was an indie dev all along.

X · Sep 4, 2025, 2:21 PM

[echo hazel]

paypal???

[fathom juniper]

[elder ivy]

I am trying to pay for silksong with paypal too

[echo hazel]

bro I'm trying to pay with my steam wallet help me 😭

[elder ivy]

I dont have anything on my steam wallet....

[boreal isle]

poor

[fathom juniper]

man - i just hope the game turns out to be good

[boreal isle]

too bad nobody can check

[elder ivy]

i have like 60 dollars on my paypal though

[boreal isle]

steam wallet = 1000x money

[fathom juniper]

like - i don't care about it myself
but it would suck if it turned out it sucked after you guys going through all of this

[elder ivy]

it'll probably be one of the best games in the universe

[elder ivy]

pikmin money = 1000000x real life money

[dense kindle]

dw I've waited 4 hours to log into the worst mmo expansion I've ever seen I'm so ready

[elder ivy]

does pikmin actually have money?

wait it might not...

I dont remember........

[vale root]

no cost too great no mind to think no will to break no time to play silksong

[elder ivy]

please god let this be true

[dense kindle]

that one was definitely worth it tho

[elder ivy]

😭 😭 😭

[echo hazel]

games have limited keys?

can't they just generate a new one on the spot

[fathom juniper]

they probably meant steam keys from other sources

those are generally limited

[elder ivy]

Dota 2 is now the highest viewed category apparently 😔

silksong already lost

that means Dota 2 is better than silksong

[fathom juniper]

[echo hazel]

dota viewership suddenly rose 20k

skong is still 340k

[elder ivy]

it looks like there is some big tournament happening

[fathom juniper]

wait

so that means this dinky little indie game about bugs almost beat a dota tournament ?

[elder ivy]

apparently!

[fathom juniper]

that's genuinely impressive

[silk abyss]

Silksong and dragon ball have both broken the internet lol

[echo hazel]

dragon ball?

[elder ivy]

Why is dragon ball involved in all this?

[feral bobcat]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G0AmbktaEAAUe81.jpg:large

[fathom juniper]

[silk abyss]

Dragon ball super crashed multiple websites during the tournament of power arc

And now silksong has crashed multiple websites now that it’s released

So like the only 2 things to ever do that

[echo hazel]

still stuck in payment method

[wintry cedar]

Very very mild spoilers so I can make a joke: ||Hades 2 and Silksong both have their second female protagonist learn to sprint

It feels soooo good oh my GOD||

[elder ivy]

I still can't purchase the game....

[echo hazel]

I'm less angry and more impressed it managed to do this 😂

[wintry cedar]

Maybe try restarting steam?

[echo hazel]

then I'd have to go through cart again

I've come too far to stop now

[elder ivy]

[echo hazel]

ok i tried it and cart is fully functioning now

but payment processing is 6 feet under

[fathom juniper]

so silksong brought steam down to EGS levels

[feral bobcat]

Yall used the arrow keys or rebound to wasd like me

[echo hazel]

arrow keys

[feral bobcat]

monster

[hearty yarrow]

Controller

[feral bobcat]

guess ill try it out

[echo hazel]

the default controls of hk were pretty good

are they with wasd in skong?

[feral bobcat]

arrows

sprint on c is wild tho thats going on shift

[echo hazel]

no trust it

dash was also c in hk

good to know controls are similar, means i can trust the default again

[feral bobcat]

i had rebound so much
jumo soace
dash shift
wasd for movement

[echo hazel]

in 2d platformer, it's best your movement hand is used exclusively for movement

so if you're using wasd, put everything else on the right side of your keyboard

[feral bobcat]

POINTS SHOPPPPP

IM BUYING EVERYTHING

Oh after 2 hrs of playtime

[echo hazel]

probably so you can't buy stuff then refund

[feral bobcat]

Yea ik but oof

Gonna buy everything in 2 hours ig

Its cheap as fu too

already boutta die cuz these controls are so odd for me

[wintry cedar]

Okay I’ll say it: || the platforming is notably worse||

[echo hazel]

I'm not gonna read so sure go ahead and say it 👍

[feral bobcat]

based as hell

first boss fight first death yeppers

[jolly locust]

i still cant buy it, i just get an error at checkout, doesnt even crash anymore

[echo hazel]

@jolly locust if it's this error just keep spamming continue

[feral bobcat]

@echo hazel ayo dawg in hk howd u get used to the default controls like is there some timing on the inputs or
cuz this feels rough

[jolly locust]

oh, interesting

worked

[echo hazel]

do you have 0 experience of playing platformers on a keyboard?

if so, i don't think skong is gonna be a good starting point 😂

[feral bobcat]

what counts as platformer

[echo hazel]

2d game where you walk and jump around

Celeste for example

super meat boy

[feral bobcat]

deadcells?

ori?

[echo hazel]

yes

those too

[feral bobcat]

im good at deadcells

[echo hazel]

actually it can be 3d too

[feral bobcat]

z for jump and x for attack tho is just... an experience for sure

[echo hazel]

ah you're just not used to arrow keys then huh

[feral bobcat]

arrow is fine but all the clustered left side keys are reratively new

like i genuinely remember having attack on mouse1 in hk , jump space, yknow typical

[echo hazel]

uhhh i got used to that through Celeste since it also has everything clustered on the left

[jolly locust]

just rebind it in the settings?

[feral bobcat]

oh ofc

but like

i wanna learn

[echo hazel]

yeah if it's too rough just rebind

[jolly locust]

hollow knight also had weird default controls

[echo hazel]

i just sucked at Celeste until i got used to it

[jolly locust]

i just put it at wasd instantly

[echo hazel]

weak 😤

[feral bobcat]

yaaaay beat boss finallly

only took3 tries of z-ing like a dumbass

i might like

spend 1 or 2 days default keys

[echo hazel]

hey see you're learning

[feral bobcat]

the reason i asked you is cz i thought maybe default has some advantage for timings

[echo hazel]

it doesn't really have an advantage

i just like the keyboard movement much better since you can rapidly snap back and forth

the other controls I've just gotten used to through practice in other games

[feral bobcat]

makes sense

also is there some steam option to pause the game when i overlay

[echo hazel]

you can just... pause yourself before opening the overlay...

[feral bobcat]

true

used to hades pauses

[dull ivy]

Finally

I own Silksong.

[echo hazel]

550mb downloaded

[feral bobcat]

youve got this king

[dull ivy]

well brb I won't be seen in another year or so

[feral bobcat]

yea like

happy halloweeen merry christmas happy new year happy hanuka happy thanksiginv gday all of that

hibernation mode

[wintry cedar]

Oh my god the platforming suckkssss

This area is so bad oh my godddd

Genuinely unbearable

[feral bobcat]

what

[wintry cedar]

Once you get there you’ll immediately understand

[feral bobcat]

i guess

[echo hazel]

I'll just skill solution through it

[feral bobcat]

if anything the one thing i dont get the jist of yet is the ||downward attack airborne, why is it a / and not a straight down path||

[wintry cedar]

That’s the thing that’s bugging me right now

“Bug” hehe

But no seriously

[echo hazel]

"bug" hehe

[wintry cedar]

Just you wait, it gets exponentially worse

[feral bobcat]

imagine paying for twitter

twich*

yea idk been through i think 2 regions platforming is good

[echo hazel]

it got so big even twitch is promoting it that's crazy

[wintry cedar]

Most of it is good! There’s one singular area that is hell

Maybe it’s a skill issue! I don’t know

I hate it

[jolly locust]

for me the whole first game was a skill issue

[wintry cedar]

This one little bit just seems like really crap design

[feral bobcat]

dude the ||downward attack|| is like sooo not it rn

like i cant reallyt chain it

and range is meh

[wintry cedar]

This is the bit that bothers me, spoilered: ||there’s one area like the fungal wastes where you need to pogo using the downward attack to get places. And if you miss you take damage. And you can very easily miss.||

You’ll get the hang of the attack at some point, it’s the Other stuff you gotta worry about

[feral bobcat]

nah like idk how to pogo off moving enemies

[wintry cedar]

You just have to remember how the attack is angled and then get close ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[feral bobcat]

yea but u do it once and then it pushes u away

[jolly locust]

i can see myself getting used to it pretty quickly, also there will be more abilites to unlock so its just early game im assuming, you need 3 in hollow knight before the game is fun lol

[feral bobcat]

so u cant chain that well unlless i gotta back up midair

[wintry cedar]

Gotta do it again; it’s not meant to be your main attack

[wintry cedar]

No trust me dude

[jolly locust]

surely its intentional though for a various of reasons, they have probably discussed it a lot over the last 7 years

[wintry cedar]

It’s intentional it’s just also bad

[feral bobcat]

so i guess im meant to jump and then attack when i land now

[wintry cedar]

Ye

Environmental objects will get in your way btw

[feral bobcat]

learning yay

[lusty pendant]

silksong track title, may spoil lore ||the second last track is called Sister of the Void. I'm awaiting the mossbag crashout||

[wintry cedar]

Okay I think i figured it out

[fathom juniper]

so...
there are rumours floating around...
that silksong already sold half a mil on steam alone

and i repeat - these are rumours
because steam charts sh- itself when you type in "silksong"

DEAR LORD

Jesus Christ

[hearty yarrow]

Top 20 peaks of all time btw

Which like mostly includes pvp titles

[hybrid jetty]

Last time I recall a game release bringing steam down was Elden Ring

[echo hazel]

deltarune did it for a few minutes

[hearty yarrow]

Elden ring peaked at almost a million

But like

Silksong could peak higher than it is rn lol

[wintry cedar]

Spoiler but hint for anyone who gets to that awful area: ||avoid going up, save up for the key and go right||

[fathom juniper]

congrats to a small idie for dunking all over AAA this freakin hard

seriously

when was the last time an EA or Goobersoft title crashed 5 storefronts at the same time?

oh - right
freakin never!

however
i will wait for the collective hype to die down a bit before playing it
once everyone calms down in a few months and more level-headed opinions start surfacing

[hearty yarrow]

are you playing yet

or is it still downloading

[echo hazel]

1.6 gb downloaded

500 mb left

[hearty yarrow]

bro I came home

and it's here in 2 mins lol

I really wish we did a better job at like

global internet infra

[echo hazel]

oh you think this is bad? wait until you hear about uploading videos to youtube 😂

i set the vod to upload from my phone at bedtime then just go sleep LOL

[hearty yarrow]

oh my upload is horrid

I once made a 2 hour vid

that took like

over a day lol

[deep hemlock]

got silksong as a gift oh yeah baby im about to silk it real soon

[wintry cedar]

Alright outside of that one little thing that pissed me off badly the game is incredible

[deep hemlock]

what one little thing

[wintry cedar]

Platforming area that is bad 😔

I figured it out though

[jolly locust]

the first boss felt ||very tanky but i got through it, just had to figure out the moveset, but for a first boss it was very fun ||

[echo hazel]

100 mb left to go

[wintry cedar]

Pizza what is happening to you man

[deep hemlock]

he can't respond no voice to cry suffering

[echo hazel]

wdym

i just have slow internet

[deep hemlock]

im gonna play with my friend in a couple

[echo hazel]

bro what is with the tone of this message i feel like i just did something terrible 😂

[wintry cedar]

It’s horror

[jolly locust]

hornet is dead now thanks to you

[echo hazel]

it's done

gaeming time

[wintry cedar]

Godspeed my brother

[echo hazel]

love the ||pogo replacement||, insane movement and combat potential

[wintry cedar]

Yeah just you wait

:/

I’m being dramatic and silly it’s good

[feral bobcat]

huh

i dont find that ||pogo|| useful at all
especially vs ||bell beast|| im struggling to get in dpo

dps

[wintry cedar]

||use it to attack the bell beast during its charge attack||

[feral bobcat]

i am trying to but the hit count doesnt differ much

either leap and attack for 1-2 hits
or wait until it reaches the end and get in 1-3hits

[wintry cedar]

It’s better than nothing

Also during the jump attack ||chase its tail and attack its butt, the tail won’t hurt you||

[feral bobcat]

ye ik

||just ate two bells to the face gg||

[wintry cedar]

||For the bells stay a bit outside of the beast’s range, wait for them to bounce once, then jump over them||

[deep hemlock]

hmm still waiting on my friend is the kbm any good

[feral bobcat]

nah yk how in ||second phase it drops a third after the two bells? two of those third bells dropped straight on my head||

[feral bobcat]

for me its fine yea

[jolly locust]

same tbh, ||takes a bit to learn but im starting to get it, they probably dont want you to just spam down attack as much on these future bosses, ive only seen one so far though ||

[deep hemlock]

good to know, ty

reading through the achievements list ong it sounds peak

[jolly locust]

cant wait to see the future movement abilites to unlock

[deep hemlock]

it's gonna be so fun finding all the secrets tbh

[hearty yarrow]

I instantly used it to pogo off an enemy to get an item lol

[feral bobcat]

yea idk i hate this ||pogo||

[hearty yarrow]

it's just ||a different angle you gotta pogo besides enemies not above them||

[feral bobcat]

bad range bad timing bad knockback weird hitreg

you hit something running at you, collide with their hitbox
you hit something runnign away, collide with their hitbox still

finally beat ||bell beast|| and guess what didnt do any ||pogo cuz its better to jump , wait for enemy to pass under u, then attack as u fall||

better range better hitbox on the attack

[hearty yarrow]

I love that ||healing can be done mid air now||

[jolly locust]

oh it can?

thats sick

[hearty yarrow]

I used pogos just specifically if it was walking away from me to gap close

I've found the use for it pretty intuitive

[feral bobcat]

||idk the angle is terrible and it never actually lets you land on an enemy when you need to||

[hearty yarrow]

I've been consistently landing on enemies idk

[feral bobcat]

i almost feel like u wanna ||move in the backwards direction midair just to course correct the terrible movement||

theres this one place in ||the marrow with red things that u gotta pogo on and theyre impossible to hit||

[hearty yarrow]

like I've been beating flying enemies with consistent pogos

[feral bobcat]

i say as i just clear it right now wtf

[hearty yarrow]

ye I passed this no issues

[feral bobcat]

nah flying enemy is impossible for me with that

its genuinely so bad

i just dont see the value in it

||if i can just jump and then attack when i land, with a bigger hitbox, therefore better range and chance of hitting, and no weird knockback, why wouldnt i||

||its like they saw pogoing iswhat makes hk fun and decided yea lets make that niche as hell||

[hearty yarrow]

I've been using it a lot lol to skip stuff or get to places

[feral bobcat]

idk might be skill issue but i see no real value or benefit in it

genuinely a dissapointing change

[hearty yarrow]

could just be matter of time

[feral bobcat]

doubt it

[echo hazel]

I'm still liking it

just beat ||bell beast||

third try 😛

@wintry cedar which platforming part was annoying you? is it after ||bell beast||

[feral bobcat]

if i had to bet, its not the one immediately after cuz its just 4-5 of those things

its one after that which ahs spikes too

[echo hazel]

and oh my god ||he's our method of travel||

so cool

if it's the ||pogo flowers|| i love em

[feral bobcat]

consider me a royal hater when it comes to that then

[hearty yarrow]

oh my god the game has a ||sprint||

[clear python]

hornet pregnant check silksong wiki

[feral bobcat]

no thanks

[hearty yarrow]

||the horizontal movement of this pogo + dash + sprint is crazy lol||

[feral bobcat]

||u mean horizontal movement it knocks you backwards lmaoo||

[hearty yarrow]

just general movement, not combat

[broken smelt]

pls spoiler tag that, almost everything you've said so far can be considered spoilers by people

(I'm people)

[feral bobcat]

oh ok
didnt think itd be a spoiler since im not referencing anything in that message but will do

[feral bobcat]

||again, it knocks you backwards, even against the jump pads||

[hearty yarrow]

||I might just record a video of it lol||

[broken smelt]

yeah, i get it
things can be easily inferred and extrapolated on is my main concern

[feral bobcat]

fair yea

[hearty yarrow]

||like if I run, pogo, dash, I can cross pretty big gaps||

[clear python]

nooooo this is gonna be the expedition 34 of this channel

[feral bobcat]

went through some other comments to ad d spoilrrs, if theres anything still wrong u can tell me ill prob just spoil any message i sent for the game for certainty

[feral bobcat]

ill see when i unlock those but i cant visualize it

[hearty yarrow]

||pogo movement out of combat is generally diagonal right like it moves towards where you're going, so if you use it and quickly dash you just extend that a bit while making as much downwards movement as you can manage to still get places||

[dull ivy]

AWOO! 3

[hearty yarrow]

||like im not hitting anything with the pogo just using it for movement||

[feral bobcat]

||ohhhh you mean not after hitting a jump pad, just the air||

[hearty yarrow]

ye

[feral bobcat]

||yea i did that to reach a ledge at some point lmao||

||does dash reset when u hit an enemy with the pogo tho||

[hearty yarrow]

ye

[feral bobcat]

i am beginning to see a path

[hearty yarrow]

oh so am i

lol

im avoiding like

some giant skips im guessing at lol

[feral bobcat]

wait i think i literaly skipped the ||sprint|| for maybe half an hour

[hearty yarrow]

lol

first thing I ended up going to after the room you are mad at essentially

[feral bobcat]

question
did you beat that one ||red mask guy with some sort of spear/club||

[feral bobcat]

nah i went through the whole ||magma biome, the forge daughters all that||

[hearty yarrow]

ye after getting ||sprint||

but could do it before I just felt like going somewhere else

[feral bobcat]

i see

[white lotus]

They weren't kidding when they called the game "a story of song and silk"

[feral bobcat]

yay beat ||lace|| 3rd try

[dull ivy]

yeah took me 3 tries to beat that

[echo hazel]

haha i did it first try 😎

though ||fractured mask|| carried me

[feral bobcat]

goated

oh aint got none of that

[echo hazel]

it's a super secret spot, my hollow knight senses tingled and i found it

[feral bobcat]

[boreal isle]

yes but i dont remember

[feral bobcat]

urghh

[jolly locust]

my favorite fight so far

[feral bobcat]

kinda reminds me of the || deadcells giant||

[jolly locust]

never played that game, i should at some point but the interest never got to me

[feral bobcat]

its great for sure

THIRD TIMES THE CHARMMMM

[unique lily]

dawg the bosses are so fking fun in this game

and the schmovement is so peak

Also why do regular enemies feel like bosses some times 😭

like I have genuinely died more to combat rooms than actual bosses

[wintry cedar]

Much much after

[feral bobcat]

i really love the ||drifters cloak||

[unique lily]

ikr? such a fun movement option

also the new pogo is so fun in combat

[echo hazel]

follow the trail of ||her weapons, the throwable yellow rings||

[unique lily]

took a bit of getting used to but I got it now

[echo hazel]

||graymoor||? 😂

[feral bobcat]

ngl im just lost a tthis point and mogging enemies left and right in hopes of clearing every corner

[unique lily]

part of the hollow knight experience 🔥

[echo hazel]

hk had the same thing for cornifer, you could see the trail of his map

[feral bobcat]

yoo got a ||silk heart||

[echo hazel]

and here you can trick this other character the same way

[unique lily]

I just listen to the sound of her beautiful voice

[feral bobcat]

speaking of voices

hornet...

[unique lily]

and?

[echo hazel]

real ones keep her voice on

[feral bobcat]

its good

[echo hazel]

actually gasping and breathing and also ||the sprint ability my beloved 🫀 || make her feel a lot more alive than the knight

[unique lily]

best voice in the game is ||sherma, she's so precious and I will protect her with my life||

[boreal isle]

||splinter sister|| is crazy hard

[echo hazel]

real

[unique lily]

ok I'm leaving bc I dont know who tf that is

[echo hazel]

[jolly locust]

i just wanted to read some reviews and got a big spoiler

[boreal isle]

oops

[jolly locust]

we live and learn

surprised no one has brought it up in here though yet

[echo hazel]

AHHHHH i wanna play more but i have to go sleep

smh my head

[unique lily]

Its gonna be so hard to fall asleep tonight istg

[feral bobcat]

oh it aint for me

im built for this

[boreal isle]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[unique lily]

I'm only like 7 hours into the game why is there already a boss doing 2 masks of damage 😭

[echo hazel]

and new one piece chapter just dropped

perfect

[boreal isle]

I JUST GOT ||CLAW||

[feral bobcat]

3 years of cs faculty tempered me to staying up all night i front of a pc

[feral bobcat]

BIGGGG??????????????

[echo hazel]

i KNEW it's gonna be in the game

but alas I'll be finding it another day

[boreal isle]

you have to be an insane boss to get it tho

[echo hazel]

good

[boreal isle]

the boss ||does 2 masks AND the adds do 2 masks||

[echo hazel]

i like a challenge 🤑

[echo hazel]

not reading this

[unique lily]

nice try, I'm not clicking that

[echo hazel]

honestly considering you start with 5 masks, there's too many stuff that deal 2 masks of damage very soon

[boreal isle]

i like how hard it is

[echo hazel]

yep

[unique lily]

I LOVE the new heal

[echo hazel]

steel soul run boutta go crazy 🤑

[feral bobcat]

the first thing i thought of when fighting these hardhiting bosses was

what if they had frenzy 2 tho

[unique lily]

like it actually fits into the gameplay so much better

[echo hazel]

the fear brainrot never goes away

[feral bobcat]

the big number must go up

[boreal isle]

the underwater combat is sooooo nice

[feral bobcat]

ayo the what

[boreal isle]

jk thats not a thing

[echo hazel]

ry 😠

[feral bobcat]

hollowknight beach episode????

[unique lily]

chat why is ||Shakra|| kinda bad tho?

[boreal isle]

lai lai lai

[echo hazel]

not clicking that

i think it's time for me to leave here

[unique lily]

its just the map lady

[echo hazel]

especially since by tomorrow everyone will be much more farther

[echo hazel]

lmaooo

[feral bobcat]

my goat

[boreal isle]

um

minor non-specific spoiler ||i just took 3 masks of damage||

[feral bobcat]

goated

[wintry cedar]

Not that far, ||Hunter’s March. I got there without the cloak and it was godawful||

I was at work so you guys have probably either caught up with me or gone past me

[feral bobcat]

dawg i got throughout practically all of ||Far fields|| wo a map now im in ||greymoor||

[boreal isle]

thats crazy

[feral bobcat]

never heard of before

[boreal isle]

what ||crest|| are yall using

[feral bobcat]

||compass lmfa||

[boreal isle]

thats not a ||crest||

[feral bobcat]

huh

u mean the whole loadout or?

[boreal isle]

i just did something insane wtf

[feral bobcat]

you had to do it to em

[unique lily]

I've only found two so far and I love the heavy attack one ||I think its called reaper's crest, it has a much easier pogo which I have used to reach a bunch of otherwise inaccessible heights||

also some of these enemies are getting a bit ridiculous ||those red ant mfs have a more varied moveset than most HK bosses 😭 ||

[feral bobcat]

oh just you wait

[feral bobcat]

if you mean the one with the ||ants then its such a hassle not because of parkour but because of the enemies||

like i get in that ||colloseum of sorts and the flying bastard is so annoying||

[unique lily]

bro wtf is wrong with pharloom's economy? why tf am I broke all the time 😭

[feral bobcat]

nah i want foolish on this ||colloseum of ants|| cuz it pissing me off

i wanna see someone pull this off, hitless too for bragging rights

[unique lily]

like I see a bench sign while on 1 hp and think that I can finally relax for a sec and the game is like "MONEY PLEASE"

[unique lily]

lol I JUST did that one and it might have taken several years off my life. I was legit spamming every tool I had

[boreal isle]

bro they made path of pain its own area

[feral bobcat]

||why the hell am i fighting one of those flying guys AND a ground ant guy||

more hp than most bosses ive fought wtf

[unique lily]

ikr they have such a hard move set too 😭

[feral bobcat]

like the parkour is actually ok its mid

[boreal isle]

YOU CAN ||GAMBLE||

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[unique lily]

until the game pulls out its version of the white palace that is

[feral bobcat]

hey as long as theres none of those flyings guys

[boreal isle]

i just lost so much money

[unique lily]

like flying enemies already sucked ass in HK and skong made them 10x harder 😭

late game bosses gonna go crazy

we're so cooked

[feral bobcat]

team cherry gonna start the supersoldier serum experiemnt on us with them bosses

[unique lily]

one thing I will say, is that the bosses, while being incredibly hard, are also really fun. I can die to boss like 10 times and I'll still be having a blast

there hasn't really been a single "fodder boss" so far since the moss mother

all of them have been pretty memorable

[feral bobcat]

nah i cant do it

this is like prom and heracles only worse

why does ||the flying one have precognition he aims where ill be all the time||

[boreal isle]

im gonna go crazy

this area is Path of Pain with 10000000000000000 bosses

can yall hurry up so i can talk about it 🙄

[feral bobcat]

where are u

[boreal isle]

||blasted steps||

[feral bobcat]

oh dont know that

DAWG NO WAY

|| i force myself to pogo off the enemy and that flying bastard PREAIMS AT ME WHERE ILL END UP AFTER MY POGO||

[elder ivy]

All I have to say so far is that this game is very hard 😔

I love it so much and the movement and bosses are great but wow it's soo hard

[boreal isle]

ACT 2 BABY

[rustic falcon]

this seems like something that should be spoilered

[boreal isle]

the beginning of the game says "Act 1"

[rustic falcon]

wooooow spoilers

now youve gone and done it

[feral bobcat]

mods, get rid of his body

[boreal isle]

i just came across the funniest thing ive ever seen in this game

[elder ivy]

HOW ARE YOU SO FAST 😭

[boreal isle]

idk

I guess I am taking a lot of time to just smell the roses and stuff..

[feral bobcat]

and i tok about an hour to still fail that ||hunters colloseum||

[dull ivy]

||The Fourth Chorus is such a good boss, holy crap||

Loving this game so far

[unique lily]

same honestly. whenever I enter a new area I take a solid 10-20 minutes just taking in the atmosphere and enjoying the music

the music is so unbelievably good I can't even put it into words

[unique lily]

weren't you saying that ||splinter sister|| was really hard or something? ||silk storm|| made that fight so easy

[boreal isle]

im not using ||silk storm||

[elder ivy]

I'm so tempted to click on all of these spoilers but I wont 😔

I feel like it might take me a couple of weeks or so to finish the game oh well

i'll be so behind 💔

[unique lily]

take your time. Its genuinely a masterpiece

[elder ivy]

It is so hard!!

I came across a huge gauntlet of enemies and lots of difficult platforming and I genuinely don't get how you're supposed to do this 😭

I guess I'll just be exploring everywhere else first

[feral bobcat]

delayed gratification and what not

[elder ivy]

True!

[unique lily]

dont worry you got this I believe in you

[boreal isle]

hornet is so much faster than that stupid ass vessel

[unique lily]

(also use tools they're pretty fricking strong)

[elder ivy]

I love how speedy hornet is!!

[unique lily]

I dont even bat an eye when I die to a boss bc I know I can can zoom back there instantly

[elder ivy]

I only got the first tool where ||you throw like a shuriken and it's so hard to use it! I have to point up and press a whole other button!!||

Platformers aren't my forte

[feral bobcat]

can some1 send me a pic or just tell me where the ||druid guy in moss is||

[boreal isle]

do you have the map

[feral bobcat]

i do yea

[boreal isle]

he's in ||the part above mosshome, in the side room all the way to the right of the big spiky thing on the map||

[feral bobcat]

i got his ||wish|| but forgot his spot

[unique lily]

nah gang you gotta figure that out yourself. Part of the game and all

[feral bobcat]

cuh i already did im just not remembering rn

and after 1 hour of failed duels with youknowwho i aint wasting no more time

[unique lily]

skill issue 🔥

[boreal isle]

it's so nice that you can ||heal in the air||

[feral bobcat]

cuh

[unique lily]

dodging a boss's attack while simultaneously healing feels so good

[elder ivy]

Is it really a type of game where you can quite literally go anywhere and it's never a wrong way to go? Because somehow I feel like I'm very underlevelled for some areas

[unique lily]

oh yeah 100%

[elder ivy]

And how im supposed to go somewhere else instead

[feral bobcat]

appreciated

[boreal isle]

honestly i feel like the game has been kinda linear so far

[elder ivy]

Hmmm...

[unique lily]

it opened up a ton after you get ||wall jump||

[elder ivy]

Some enemies genuinely take forever to kill I feel like I ended up taking the wrong turn at some point lmaoo 😭

[boreal isle]

damn i just realised i have 700 rosaries sitting on beads lol

[elder ivy]

????

Omg

[unique lily]

it doesn't help that most common enemies in this game have more varied movesets than most full bosses in HK 😭

[unique lily]

mf send some this way Im broke as hell

[elder ivy]

Ikr!!!! They all have sooo much to them wth

It's insane

[boreal isle]

btw if you see rosaries in a shop DONT BUY THEM

it is a SCAM

[unique lily]

I'm just taking in the atmosphere and enjoying the music

its such a huge step up from HK which is saying A LOT

[boreal isle]

for some reason i get a lot of frame drops

[unique lily]

you can see the evolution of ari gibson's art style

[unique lily]

in specific areas or just in general?

[boreal isle]

in general

[livid geode]

aghhh silksong is SO pretty oh my gosh

i'm in love with the green of the first area

[unique lily]

it only gets better from here, trust me

[livid geode]

did anyone else get jumpscared by hornet like. responding to npcs. cuz i'm so used to ghost just standing in silence and then hornet like RESPONDED i was like 😮

she can talk!! waow!!!

[unique lily]

yeah its so cool. I love that it says "Speak" when interacting with npcs instead of "Listen" like in HK

[feral bobcat]

cuh i dont have that after like 561 mins in the game
how did i mis it lmao

[unique lily]

I would assume its required for progression so you'll come across it eventually

it's guarded by a boss that does 2 masks of damage

[feral bobcat]

does it happen to ||vomit from the ceiling||

[unique lily]

no

[feral bobcat]

well then i found something new

and a mask shard yay

[unique lily]

with how these bosses are going, the pantheons in this game gonna be nuts 💀

[feral bobcat]

i hope they dont add the flying bastard tho

[unique lily]

the greymoor boss?

[feral bobcat]

uh

||hunters march colloseum||

[unique lily]

no idea who that is lol

[boreal isle]

nooooo i just died for the first time

[unique lily]

nah youre lying

there's no way

[boreal isle]

died as in without my shade

[feral bobcat]

theres a room where you fight waves of enemies, and one type flies the other is ant

[unique lily]

ahh that makes more sense

[unique lily]

oh that one. Surely that wont be in the pantheons

[feral bobcat]

too op

hell yea i got 2 ||spol fragments||

9.9% achievement we gotta get these pbs quick

[unique lily]

I have to say, There's a distinct lack of "SHAW" in this game. 0/10 literally unplayable garbage

[feral bobcat]

fr

refund it

only 8 hours of playthrough right

[unique lily]

11 hours 💀

[elder ivy]

they're very useful though!!!!!!!!!!
they help you preserve a lot of your beads even if you die

I bought a few already!!

because I already ended up losing some beads upon death

it's so painful

who cares that you lose 20 beads... it's better than losing all 80!!

[unique lily]

shop rosaries are great bc I die every 5 minutes
