[elder ivy]

I did!!! i love it yes

[austere wadi]

I've been in ||the Citadel|| for about 30 minutes and I think I now hate Silksong.

[unique lily]

it made platforming so much easier. also helps that I have ||double jump||

[austere wadi]

I'm still gonna play it.

[unique lily]

just ignore everything that's trying to kill you and take in the impeccable atmosphere and music. You'll like the game again

[austere wadi]

But especially after spending all of Wednesday playing Hollow Knight for the first time in 3 years Hornet's increased top speed does not make up for [gestures wildly at the game's design].

That's the thing, there's about 0.03% of the atmosphere Hollow Knight had.

The OST is just not here.

[unique lily]

hard disagree but ok

ost is a massive step up for me

[austere wadi]

Bro, what OST?

[unique lily]

do you have sound off?

[austere wadi]

So much of this game takes the hard Dork Souls route of minimal music outside boss fights.

[unique lily]

dawg just look up the citadel and whiteward ost and tell me its not the best thing ever

open your damn ears

[austere wadi]

I guess you mean after the ||Underworks||?

[feral bobcat]

So im trying it againand the ||forge gauntlet|| is still quite hard

[austere wadi]

Because there is literally no music playing right now.

[jolly locust]

well its the ||underworks||

its supposed to be kinda sad

[austere wadi]

Oh, wait, there's something.

The room I was in was in fact silent.

That's on me.

[jolly locust]

its an ||industry area, no music allowed, keep working ||

[austere wadi]

But so far nothing has stuck out. No corridor tunes, no boss themes. I like the Needolin, but of course they're bringing the A game for the main leitmotif of the game.

[unique lily]

bro the ||widow and last judge|| themes were peak tf you on?

lace too

and ||fourth chorus||

[austere wadi]

I remember those bosses. Couldn't pick their music out from first pass the way I could Hornet or Lost Kin.

[feral bobcat]

Dude its actually hard

Like what

Even now

[austere wadi]

The game is very hard.

[feral bobcat]

Oh no

[unique lily]

try turning up the sound ig

[feral bobcat]

U prob dunno what im talking bout

[unique lily]

also can you elaborate on "game's design"?

double damage?

[austere wadi]

So Hornet's model is definitely taller than the Knight's.

I don't know for certain that her hurtbox is larger.

[unique lily]

probably is

it would make sense

[austere wadi]

But it does feel like she's bigger and has either the same or even smaller attack range than the Knight.

[unique lily]

range depends on crest

[austere wadi]

I've so far only found ||Reaper|| and ||Beast||.

I had ||Beast|| equipped long enough to find a bench because I am not using that pogo.

[unique lily]

wanderer has the shortest, reaper is about the same as mark of pride in hk

[austere wadi]

I used ||Reaper|| to get through--oh, that's not good.

Because it feels very short.

[unique lily]

reaper feels short?

[austere wadi]

Yes.

For Hornet's hurtbox.

[elder ivy]

YESSS I FOUND THE ||PALE OIL 🔥🔥🔥||

[unique lily]

awe hell naw

[austere wadi]

And the fact that the second hit in your combo is ||an underswing||?

[elder ivy]

that stupid ||puzzle was a bit annoying but I managed..||

[feral bobcat]

Dude fraud tf are u on

That gautnlet is still hard

[unique lily]

I got the secret sauce

[feral bobcat]

Maybe ||wanderer|| is that good

[unique lily]

YES IVE BEEN SAYING

[feral bobcat]

No i dont use it

Im just thinking maybe u see the gauntlet as easy because ur build is too broken

[unique lily]

also I had a +2 needle when doing the gauntlet so maybe that helped

[feral bobcat]

Like lets not play the game and actually dodge type broken

Hence the facetank u mentioned

[unique lily]

it kinda was yeah

[jolly locust]

said this 2-3 days ago

[unique lily]

||buzzsaw|| spam basically instakills the last 2 guys

[austere wadi]

Basically my thesis on the game right now is "They gave Hornet wildly increased mobility compared to the Knight and ramped up the difficulty in ways that don't challenge her mobility."

I'm also about 12 hours in and that thesis will change.

There is also increased platforming challenges.

[elder ivy]

yeah 12 hours is nothing!!

[unique lily]

dude the game is working perfectly fine. its 100% a you problem

[elder ivy]

it will get much much better

[echo hazel]

have you done the high halls arena fight

[elder ivy]

trust the process

[unique lily]

as hornet would say "GIT GUD"

[elder ivy]

pizza use spoiler tags please 🙏

[austere wadi]

And there it is.

[jolly locust]

yeah the early game is kinda rough but after act 2 everything just works out

[echo hazel]

that doesn't even reveal anything 😭

[unique lily]

yeah act 2 is pretty chill compared to act 1, at least imo

[austere wadi]

I largely liked Act 1.

The opening of Act 2 sucks.

[elder ivy]

I mean it's a location name!! it's not much but it doesnt hurt to be a bit extra safe

[unique lily]

we can't all have good taste 😔

[elder ivy]

I loved the opening of act 2!!!

it was such a unique way to introduce us to ||the citadel etc||

[jolly locust]

besides all the main bosses are easy, we just have no strength then, but eventually you get quite a lot of good abilites and nail upgrades and your build gets better, if they add a bossrush everything will just melt on a 100% file lol

[echo hazel]

high halls arena fight was so insane i had to take a break with some 50 fear runs

[elder ivy]

are you doing this on purpose 😭

[echo hazel]

doing what

[elder ivy]

spoiling this stuff!!

it doesnt hurt to use spoiler tags!!!!

#video-games message

[feral bobcat]

ikr

[unique lily]

dude why is everyone saying this? I beat it 3rd try and it was at most a minor inconvenience

[echo hazel]

"fraud"lord yeah haha

@elder ivy where are you in the game 👀

[feral bobcat]

I dont know if facetanking everything and ignoring movement patterns makes it a valid representatiin of what that encounter is like on average

[unique lily]

surely having broken builds in skong doesn't make you a fraud right?

[rustic falcon]

yes be generous with spoiler tags please, and also give space to opinions on the game that are different than yours

[elder ivy]

I just recently beat the ||cogwork dancers||

[elder ivy]

yes please 🙏

[jolly locust]

peak

[rustic falcon]

keep skonging it up channelgoers

[echo hazel]

ok sorry 🙏

[echo hazel]

oh yeah that was peak

[elder ivy]

wow you dont listen to me despite asking you three times 😭

but when AD shows up...

[austere wadi]

AD has a banhammer, you don't.

[elder ivy]

😔

clearly

[unique lily]

||Clanker Gays|| best boss. gives mantis lords a run for their money

[echo hazel]

ok so lilac basically, now that you've beaten ||cogwork dancers|| you have a choice between ||visiting three different areas||

one of the those leads to the most ridiculously difficult fight I've had so far

[rustic falcon]

also this is just a suggestion bc im not playing this game but apparently it has acts or whatever so i think if youre talking about an act 2 location you should specify so in your spoiler, like "im super early into the game, finally unlocked ||oh my god hornet is right behind you oh my god watch out you got airpods in||"

if that makes snense

[elder ivy]

I dont want to know!!! 😭

are you doing this on purpose

[rustic falcon]

also i do have a hammer i promise to use it with utmost responsibility

[elder ivy]

or are you genuinely not reading the room

[echo hazel]

i spoiler marked it this time 😭

[rustic falcon]

but like be mindful of hinting or foreshadowing too, some ppl dont want that either

[elder ivy]

yes exactly ^^^

i dont want to know that i will have one of the hardest fights ahead of me

it spoils the surprise!!

[echo hazel]

ok I'll just go sleep

[feral bobcat]

Dude the ||forge ||arena is hard

Even with tool spam

[rustic falcon]

they put me in the game im the final boss thats what the hammer is for

[feral bobcat]

Like objectivelt yard

Hard

[echo hazel]

erm gio, stop spoiling 😠

[feral bobcat]

The game has 15 arenas

[rustic falcon]

cmon yall

[feral bobcat]

The ones who know what im referring to are here when i used the spoiler

Like it's just a room with enemies and im calling it arena, its not called arena ingame or anything

Thats like saying "wow rooms are hard in this game"
Erm spoiler, what if i didnt know the game had rooms

[elder ivy]

the word "gauntlet" is probably a better way to describe it

[feral bobcat]

I did call it that before

[elder ivy]

oh ok, just letting you know!

i think it clears up any misunderstandings

[austere wadi]

2 Mask hazards can go right to the Abyss.

[echo hazel]

actually caused me to die in ||blasted steps||

multiple times

[austere wadi]

I lost triple digit rosaries to the ||Last Judge|| because of that runback.

[feral bobcat]

Triple digit is ok

[austere wadi]

As I get a better hang on Hornet's movement I'll get less annoyed, but wow this area is giving me Metal Shark Player vibes, and while a comparison to Mega Man X is usually a compliment, a comparison to X6 is not.

[austere wadi]

I once lost 80k echoes to the spiders in Mergo's Loft and didn't play Bloodborne for a week.

[faint hollow]

I've just consigned myself to the 25% conversion loss in Gr||eymoor||

[austere wadi]

I'm sorry, I don't follow.

[feral bobcat]

Never played bloodborne dont have the hardware for it

[austere wadi]

Ah.

[feral bobcat]

Ddude idk how yallt hink ||wanderer|| is good the range on it is awful and pogoing is near impossible

[austere wadi]

I need someone to justify Hornet's pogos compared to the Knight's.

100% of the reason I'm running ||Reaper|| is for the pogo, because it is (so far) closest to the Knight's.

[faint hollow]

You can convert rosaries into necklaces that you don’t lose when you die

You can turn 80 into 60

[unique lily]

its hard to use but its peak dps

[unique lily]

my justification: Its fun

[faint hollow]

I use R||eaper|| for the extra silk

[austere wadi]

Oh, yes, I know about the necklaces, the specificity of the location threw me.

[unique lily]

hunter pogo is so clean in combat

[faint hollow]

Ah fair

[austere wadi]

I kept missing with Hunter.

[faint hollow]

The NPC in Bone Bottom isn’t there for me anymore to do the conversion

[unique lily]

its awesome with some practice

[austere wadi]

I'm sure in another week there will be some truly impressive montages.

[unique lily]

silksong has both a higher skill floor and ceiling than HK and I'm so hyped to see how speedrunners break this game open. That was honestly my favorite part about HK

[feral bobcat]

Nah the gauntlet is hard idk what u're on about fraud

I used no tools until last 2 guys

And then spammed all

Still got slammed

Idk what cracked ass build u found that carries hornet but the gauntlet is objectively tough

[elder ivy]

It might take years for people to find the most optimal speedrunning route honestly

[unique lily]

you underestimate speedrunners

[elder ivy]

I mean even years after HK was released people were still finding more optimal routes!

[unique lily]

do you have the ||tacks or buzzsaw tools||?

[unique lily]

HK speedrun journey went on for like 6 years its was insane. Thing about speedruns is, you THINK you have a perfectly optimized route and then someone drops a new run with crazy tech that you never even considered before

[feral bobcat]

||sting shard and cogwork wheel||

[unique lily]

speedrun evolution never stops

[elder ivy]

yeah that's why I said this #video-games message

it's lots of fun how people always manage to find more skips and techniques!!

[unique lily]

my prediction is we'll have a sub hour run in a year

[unique lily]

oh maybe your tools are lower level than mine. What is your tool damage level?

[elder ivy]

true ending speedruns are going to be insane too probably!!

[unique lily]

100% runs even more so

[elder ivy]

[feral bobcat]

3

I spammed all

[unique lily]

have you tried tacks? I used those in my winning attempt

[feral bobcat]

||poison on reaper, none on hunter cuz no lockets||

Whats tacks

[unique lily]

pins on ground

[feral bobcat]

Duno what that is

||straight pin
Sting shard
Longpin
Curveclaw
Delvers drill
Cogsaw wheelers
Cogfly
Flee brew||

[unique lily]

my exact load out was: ||wanderer's crest with silk storm, multibinder, injector band, weighted belt, compass, ascendant's grip and tacks as my red tool||

I also had the second needle upgrade

[feral bobcat]

Dont have ||tacks|| or enough slots on ||wanderer|| but its hard ar

Af

[unique lily]

lock in 🔥

bro why is the music in ||bilewater|| so serene when its literally the most disgusting place in the game

[feral bobcat]

Ok i locked in

Just beat it

I love ||sting shard||

Unfortunately hard to resort to ||hunter|| aEw

im waiting for a ||reaper evo|| fr

I found ||bilewater|| and ||mist|| by accident and got no map or bench so died like a dog

Yknow where the ||bellhome|| guy was?

[unique lily]

it might be the best tool considering how early you can get it

[unique lily]

who?

[feral bobcat]

Theres a guy who says ||bring me someone tasty||

Hes in a ||bellhome||

Name starts with Y

[elder ivy]

Yornet

[austere wadi]

I got out of the ||Underworks|| and the game immediately felt better. The ||Ventrica Terminus|| plaque is a burst of black comedy straight out of Dead Cells and I can't remember anything in HK being this irreverent. Not a mark against Silksong, just an observation the difference in tone between the two games.

[feral bobcat]

Yo the dps diff between ||reaper|| and ||hunter|| is wild actually

[austere wadi]

Oh, I think I just found a juicy one.

||Pollip Pouch|| activates simultaneously with ||Flintslate.||

Ooohh, yeah. Now we're thinking with portals.

[feral bobcat]

||flint what||

[austere wadi]

||Slate.||

I think I found it in the ||Deep Docks||.

It was not too long before I hit Act 2, so I had most-if-not-all of the mobility upgrades available at that point.

[feral bobcat]

How am i missing so much stuff

[austere wadi]

Because the game is designed for this sort of stuff to happen.

[feral bobcat]

No im thorough

[austere wadi]

How long has it been since you've returned to ||DD||?

[feral bobcat]

I was there today for clearing 2 bosses

[austere wadi]

I could be wrong with where I remember finding it. Might try Google.

[feral bobcat]

Was it somewhere in said ||incendiary||

And required ||metal||

[unique lily]

also works with ||flea brew.|| pretty nutty dps with ||wanderer's crest (yes I will glaze this crest till the day I die)||

[feral bobcat]

You get to be the ||wanderer|| merchant i get to be the ||reaper|| merchant

Feels fair

[austere wadi]

You know, I was thinking about that.

But as far as I know (don't tell me) it's limited so I'm sticking with caveman tech for now.

I had ||Reaper|| on Friday, does that predate you? 'Cause if I lose this pogo I think I will be unable to finish this game.

[unique lily]

fine

[unique lily]

you wont "lose" it. you can swap between crests

[austere wadi]

I meant the ||Flea Brew||.

[feral bobcat]

I found the ||shower||

Wouldve got it faster if i didnt waste like an hour on the arena

[unique lily]

I finally maxed out my tool damage and the bombs are 1-2 shotting everything

peak

[feral bobcat]

Crackdd

[austere wadi]

I found my first ||Silkeater||. All of Silksong's crimes are forgiven.

@feral bobcat So I Googled where to find the thing because I already have it and I just wanted the information. You want to keep exploring on your own or you want to know?

[feral bobcat]

Is it deep docks or nah

Thats kinda all i wanna know

[austere wadi]

Yes.

[feral bobcat]

Aight thx

[austere wadi]

Good luck, bug.

[feral bobcat]

Gracias, likewise

[unique lily]

God ever since the game's combat clicked for me, I've been having so much fun. dancing around bosses and enemies while jabbing them constantly from all end is so fking satisfying

this might beat nine sols as my favorite 2d combat system

[austere wadi]

This place is now forever the ||Sitty-dell of Song||.

I don't make the rules, ||Grindle|| does.

[feral bobcat]

Honestly if ||reaper|| dps was higher id be mincing enemies

Movement and game sense is not bad but the dps is subpar as i tested on the farming spot guys vs ||hunter||

[austere wadi]

From Skill usage, you mean?

[feral bobcat]

From nail

[austere wadi]

How so? I wasn't aware there was a difference.

[feral bobcat]

I think its strike speed

[unique lily]

chat which is the cooler platforming segment? ||Mount Fay or Cogwork core?||

I LOVE the music in ||cogwork core||

[feral bobcat]

Is ||cogwork|| with gauntlet a the end

Thats how i identify it

[unique lily]

there is a gauntlet in it but I'm pretty sure that's optional

[feral bobcat]

||trebbio|| hits hard

[unique lily]

yeah he's awesome

one of the easier bosses but really fun

[feral bobcat]

Huh

I only managed to get 2 phase breaks on him

[unique lily]

did you win?

[feral bobcat]

No lmao

Wait

Did i

Win?

I died as he died

Game

yessssss got the achievement

9% steam achievements ok rookie numbers gotta go higher

[unique lily]

I'm basically at the end of act 2 but I'm stalling asf bc I dont wanna move on lol

[feral bobcat]

Dude i must be exhausted physicaly cuz following movement is so gard

Like he was ok but i got hit by everything

[unique lily]

playing for 10 hours a day will do that

[feral bobcat]

Does steam let ubknow how much u play each day

[unique lily]

I don't think so

[feral bobcat]

Also still need to find maps for ||bile and mist ||

[unique lily]

you need ||double jump|| for that

[feral bobcat]

For the map

,?

Cuz i reached both areas

[unique lily]

yup

[feral bobcat]

And there was a waystation sign

Which lead to the second of them lmao

Scam

[unique lily]

yeah you can get the bell station but not the map

[feral bobcat]

Ok been a while since ive visited ||mount fay|| lets clear that path for real

[unique lily]

its easy you got this

[feral bobcat]

I made it to a point where u gotta ||light on a left hand side wall ||

But i fell off it so easily cuz no ||perma grip||

[unique lily]

yeah make sure to use perma wall cling, makes every platforming segment so much easier

that + reaper = free platforming

[feral bobcat]

Fr

Also ||hunter|| helps a lot for bossing

And farming those guys for rosaries

The spot

[unique lily]

yup

from my experience all crests have their uses

except beast that shi is ass

[feral bobcat]

Lmfa

If only it had more charm slots

Would welcome ur speed build

Face tank

Also uh spoilers ig

[unique lily]

idk I think if the ||life steal state lasted|| just a bit longer it would be really good

[feral bobcat]

Its either longer state or fast silk regen

[wintry cedar]

I think I just beat the game?

surely not though

[feral bobcat]

Gg

Better than me

Im so slow from backtracking

[wintry cedar]

There’s no way this is the end

Me too it took me 20+ hours and I’m still not done

[unique lily]

its similar to HK with a normal ending and a true ending

[wintry cedar]

But surely this isn’t the end

Oh thank god

[feral bobcat]

Ive 53 hours

[wintry cedar]

Jesus

[wintry cedar]

I beat ||Grandma Silky||

[feral bobcat]

And missing most stuff u have somehow

[unique lily]

apparently you only unlock act 3 if you have done all wishes

[wintry cedar]

Gayyy

Shoot

[unique lily]

idk if I wanna click that bc I haven't ended act 2 yet

[wintry cedar]

Never mind I did 32 hours

Oh I thought you were past me

[unique lily]

naur I'm stalling lol

[wintry cedar]

Basically it’s only just beyond Act 2

[unique lily]

I'm not ready to move on just yet

[wintry cedar]

I did it because I really did not want to do ||bilewater|| I thought we’d have more

Shoot!

Hm

[unique lily]

god ||bilewater|| sucks so bad 😭

damn ||maggots||

[feral bobcat]

BEEEENCYU

[boreal isle]

[wintry cedar]

||I found the Mist before I even got harpoon I was soooo scared||

[unique lily]

I spent a solid 2 hours there before realizing the gimmick of the area lol

[wintry cedar]

HAHAHA

lolll

I found the ||Exhaust Organ|| and was like “oh dear god”

[unique lily]

the boss fight there was so cool

[feral bobcat]

The what

[wintry cedar]

I didn’t even get to the boss

I didn’t have any of the movement

[feral bobcat]

How doni get more metal

[wintry cedar]

I don’t knowww

[unique lily]

do you need ||act 2 movement upgrades|| to get to it? I remember doing it without ||double jump|| but with ||harpoon||

[feral bobcat]

I want the item from thr ||architect|| thingy

[wintry cedar]

I didn’t need it to get there but I felt I needed it to explore the area cuz the ||steam|| scared the crap out of me

[wintry cedar]

You can buy some and there’s one vein somewhere

I forget though

[feral bobcat]

U buy from the ||deep docks|| dight

Cuz i sucked em dry already

[wintry cedar]

No

[feral bobcat]

Also wheres the ||architect door|| lmao

Just explore and you’ll find it on your map

[feral bobcat]

I have the||key|| and i feel like i saw it soemwhere

Ibjust forgot

[wintry cedar]

Ohhh

It’s above the ||architect|| lol

Like directly above

Use your ||harpoon||

[feral bobcat]

Lmfa

[boreal isle]

there a lot more open air fights in this game and i love it

this world feels so LIVED IN

[feral bobcat]

Yep i had found it befor3

[wintry cedar]

It does!!! It really feels more reactive than Hollow Knight did

[feral bobcat]

[dense kindle]

I was hoping boss mode would be base game this time, and they just added to it in dlc

[boreal isle]

||nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh||

[boreal isle]

yeah same, there are some bosses i wanna practice before steel soul

i hope godhome is a little more robust

[dense kindle]

and a little bit faster, all the pauses and stuff was pretty eh

[wintry cedar]

My favourite bossfight so far is the ||cogwork dancers|| it was just soooo coool

[feral bobcat]

They got outgayed by ||trebbio|| tho

[wintry cedar]

Naw he’s a poser

[feral bobcat]

Is the shop in ||hunter march || good for anything

[wintry cedar]

The tool there is my favorite

So ye

[feral bobcat]

Oh didnt see a tool

Oh hes ||dead||

||No more tool ig||

[wintry cedar]

What’s the gimmick 🥺

Outside of the ||repeating rooms||

Cuz I tried ||following the lumaflies|| and it didn’t work

[unique lily]

||you have to play the needolin to the lumaflies so they lead you to the right exit otherwise you keep going in circles||

[wintry cedar]

OH

Weird!! I didn’t do that the first time I got out

[unique lily]

you got lucky then lol

[wintry cedar]

I must have lmao

I was running like crazy trying to not die

Thanks I never would have figured that one 😭😭😭

[unique lily]

happy to help ❤️

[light widget]

Aha preaching now are we 😏 🤣

( im just joking had to ask Pizza aswell 🤣 )

[wintry cedar]

That, I feel, could have been telegraphed better

[light widget]

thats my life 24/7 but i said it because i helped fraud yesterday

[wintry cedar]

It’s like a game of telephone

[feral bobcat]

Yall are not talking enough about||mt fay|| good lord

The amount of retries just to memorize every step

[light widget]

did it in like 3-5 attempts once u understand what it wants from you and if you got the right tools its breezy

1 tool is the goat for smth like that

[feral bobcat]

Dude||harpoon|| misses all those flying bugs

Its so annoying

Im maybe at try 50 and still not done

[light widget]

|| you dont have to harpoon everyone of them as a hint||

[feral bobcat]

I do

Where im at

Why doesnt it propel me upwards more

Ill ||harpoon|| one and it leaves me below the next one

[signal kayak]

||This looks like a classified document||

[feral bobcat]

This is actual bull

It sometimes leads me above the flyer, sometimes below

What even is this

[light widget]

i would say that has to do with your starting position, if you are under the person -> down and slightly over -> up only thing i could think why it would be

[feral bobcat]

Im doing it at the apex of my junp

Way above the enemy

And it puts me below

No way u 3-5 try that im not buying it

Area is way too vast way too many gimmicks way too much stuff to memorize

[light widget]

but i did

[feral bobcat]

Scripted

I found out why i think

|| the second hit from harpoon contact uses ur up and down key input somehow||

||press / hold up on contact and it launches u up ||

|| unheld and it just leaves u neutral ||

At least thats what i believe rn

Yep

Also oddly enough i think holding down launches u higher?

[wintry cedar]

I use controller so this may be different- ||for harpoon if you hold inputs your post-harpoon jump is shorter||

[feral bobcat]

Shorter??

[wintry cedar]

Yup

[feral bobcat]

Huh

So theres this || spike cave || in the ||mt fay|| u can drop st

At

And theres some of those ||frozen fliers||

How do i even do the last jump

It feels like i need to pogo but there's nothing

[light widget]

just || harpoon over into the door? ||

[feral bobcat]

I cant

I dont get high enough

[light widget]

|| you dont have to get high you drop down?||

if i think of the right one

[feral bobcat]

||u drop through spikes and ice, cling to left wall, harpoon fliers, with destructible walls that come back ||

At the end of it i just dont get high enough

[wintry cedar]

Come back to it later

[feral bobcat]

What a joke

[light widget]

gimme a screen if you can, cause i dont remember ||destructible walls xd||

[feral bobcat]

Can i just send a phone pic of it cuz my steam overlay discord is giving a chunk error

Itll be ugly but

Down through here, ill try to get one when im down there too

[light widget]

i just ||glided through there sounds pretentions but i dont remember the specifics because i 1 shot it 💀 ||

[feral bobcat]

Theres enemies down there

Parkour through em and at the end theres not enough height

[light widget]

guess i just || harpooned them || i really dont remember 💀

or pogo'ed on them idk really 💀

[wintry cedar]

Come back to it later

[feral bobcat]

Im hardheaded

[wintry cedar]

I don’t think I even came to this area sob

[wintry cedar]

No trust me

Climb the mountain and come back later

[feral bobcat]

Nope

Did it

What the actual

F

[wintry cedar]

Welp

[feral bobcat]

Well im dying anyway

Yep

Cool

Awesome

[wintry cedar]

Poggers

Welcome to video games, where you die in real life

[feral bobcat]

At least my deathspot is aesthetic

Smack dab middle of the road

[wintry cedar]

You gotta do a better job of spoilering your images

[feral bobcat]

Im not spoiling them?

[wintry cedar]

Nope

[feral bobcat]

Ehat

Theyre spoilered to me

[wintry cedar]

Not to me

Weird

[feral bobcat]

Switch channels

Still not?

Also howd u climb the ||mt||

There's a third flier out of reach

Right before what i sent

[wintry cedar]

Just gotta git gud

[feral bobcat]

True

I swear this area feels like the one that needs ||db jump|| not offer it

[white lotus]

Is it me or the dash doesn't go in the direction I want as fast as I need?

[wintry cedar]

:]

[wintry cedar]

I’ve never felt a problem with it

[white lotus]

Ach

[wintry cedar]

:]

[white lotus]

Thanks

[wintry cedar]

You can get a tool to boost speed

[feral bobcat]

Meow ure trolling me

[wintry cedar]

:]

[feral bobcat]

Going up wasnt an option there

[white lotus]

The ||running on silk||?

[white lotus]

No, I am referring to just the dash in combat

[wintry cedar]

Just do the parkour gauntlet

[feral bobcat]

GAUNTLET?

[white lotus]

Sometimes I dash but I dash in the wrong direction and it feels like the game isn't picking up the correct direction

[wintry cedar]

Ah wait

No not gauntlet

[feral bobcat]

Dear god

[wintry cedar]

Well technically because gauntlet just means “challenge”

Do the parkour challenge

[wintry cedar]

Yeah I’ve never had an issue with it but I use controller

[feral bobcat]

Isnt that what u said not to do

[wintry cedar]

There are some areas you can’t finish yet because you need something

So just do the ones that are on the main path

[white lotus]

Well it shouldn't be any different... Probably I am not inputting fast enough then..😢

[wintry cedar]

Probably 😔

[feral bobcat]

Sound logic just wanted to say that the first sc i sent was one of the ones thats possible

[wintry cedar]

Yee sure

You’ll know if it isn’t possible

There should be a second bench somewhere

[feral bobcat]

Found yea

Hell yea i got it

I got so scared

Thought there was gonna be a boss

[wintry cedar]

Big puppy

Cute puppy

[feral bobcat]

Hellyea

The view is something else

[light widget]

where <.< can i get this beauty

[echo hazel]

in ||bottom right of far fields||

open the door with ||the needolin||

[wintry cedar]

Big puppy

Hornet deserves her own Frinos

[feral bobcat]

@unique lily wsa the bug u mentioend ||the chef||

[white lotus]

Btw act 2 bosses ||cog bros|| are so cool

[feral bobcat]

Frr

[echo hazel]

grrr finally got the ||fay cloak||

and then the power went out 😐

[light widget]

so the question it, did it save

[echo hazel]

yeah i got to a bench beforehand

but i dropped from the ||left side of the shrine||

so i have to go all the way back up and ||check the other side||

such is the life of a metroidvania fan 😔 🤌

I'll have to say though, the area was sooo fun before i got the ability, i understand why the "challenge" of it has to go away when you get it but still...

[feral bobcat]

Wouldve been even more fun for me if i knew for the ||harpoon|| worked

I kept going beside enemies, then pogoing off them with the nail

[light widget]

no wonder you didnt believe me saying i 3-5 tried it 🤣

[feral bobcat]

Yea once i knew how it worked it went better

[light widget]

so is the secret area for the ||bomb tool|| in ||greymoor||higher up or down at the bottom 🤔 cause my ||map|| is pretty filled out and i dont see an "obv" map spot where it could be

[feral bobcat]

Don't have it either lol

[echo hazel]

uhhh i just remember it's ||top|| but i don't remember left or right

[echo hazel]

I don't use it because it costs an egregious amount of beast shards to recraft

[light widget]

🤔 ok good thanks, cause i ran the || bird area already||

[light widget]

I sadly need it || for a wish ||

[echo hazel]

👀

[light widget]

you wont look that way when you are at|| the quest|| location 😭

[hearty yarrow]

Top left

Found it just before getting to act 2

Was making sure I didnt miss anything lol

I'm constantly backtracking just to check if I can go to new places

[light widget]

the last 1 1/2 days i have been backtracking and ignored act 2 progress 💀

and smashed my head into an insane area that nearly broke me

[hearty yarrow]

I could send all I found in act 1 but it's too many screenshots to link and it's all spoilers lol

[light widget]

well if you found a || 4th and 5th key|| i will take it 🤣

[vagrant sierra]

man, running out of shards when close to downing boss is quite sad 🙁

[hearty yarrow]

||I only found two and used both||

[light widget]

i slammed my head into a boss for 2 hours with 0 shards 💀

[light widget]

no one got || keys|| silksong is really || key-less ||

[hearty yarrow]

Running outta shards is nice cause using tools and hits I start messing up more so when I run out I fight better lol

[vagrant sierra]

yeah im gonna see if i can do it without bt ive been relying on my tool to clear the adds, but maybe ill do better (lol)

[hearty yarrow]

I guess I can link my achievements but idk how much of a spoiler those even are

[light widget]

tools are a god send if you are fighting a summoner boss and || nearly all optional bosses are summoning adds 💀 ||

[vagrant sierra]

im not even sure if i cn beat the first set of sumons without the tool lol

[hearty yarrow]

Is all I got in act 1 essentially

[hearty yarrow]

I just use ||thread storm||

To clear adds

And hit boss

[light widget]

you might wanna resend the screen and put it in spoiler (you can spoiler a "link" if you put it in ||)

[hearty yarrow]

Been told I could have found more lol

[light widget]

so instead of bombs i found ||another new area 💀 if that is not the area where you get it 💀 ||

[hearty yarrow]

It's not a new area

[light widget]

welp then i did find one 💀

[hearty yarrow]

But I mean

Nice lol

[light widget]

but i realized that you need act 2 -> specifics|| the harpoon or double jump|| for it

[hearty yarrow]

Can probably do some weird fly enemy pogo

[light widget]

there are no enemys around that entrace i believe

[hearty yarrow]

Ah

Ye that makes sense then

Been trying to limit my pogo instincts lol

Wanna play roughly intended progression

Ofc pogo skips are intended but

Trying to kinda follow the non-skip brainrotted progress

Lol

Emphasis on trying I have absolutely pogod up places anyway

[light widget]

why do i always stumble upon the || optional bosses from hell 😭||

[vagrant sierra]

yay killed her withot tools 😄 ||sister splinter !||

[light widget]

yay found ||the bomb||

[hearty yarrow]

I want to use it but the ||traps from forge daughter and the drink from the fleas are both so good||

[vagrant sierra]

does she not block t||he way to an item|| or am i going insane ? was sure i was gonna get something but it just seems to loop back to main map

[light widget]

ty for your map btw, would have never found ||the upgrade weaver ||

[hearty yarrow]

||I just remembered the door lol||

||pins are OP fr fr||

[light widget]

i dont have money for the rest of the important bits || i wont use it for pins 💀 ||

[hearty yarrow]

I have so many pins on my map

Oh i have

Too many rosaries

Lol

[light widget]

i lost like 3k from dying

and i had to farm 1hour for 4,5k

[hearty yarrow]

Perk of barely dying and never dying twice ig

I've emptied all vendors so far

Except for ||bellhart||

And im not farming the money

Doing quests as soon as I get em

Using the rosaries from them to buy stuff

[echo hazel]

i memorized a ton of stuff without pins 😂

[hearty yarrow]

Killing most things when I enter rooms tho

I like using pins

[echo hazel]

i only started pinning all the places that needed a sort of ||double jump||

and just because there were too many of them

[hearty yarrow]

Been refreshing after just knowing hk lol

[echo hazel]

you'll need them

[hearty yarrow]

Ive just been pinning things that look interesting or are later places to go

[echo hazel]

act 2 shop is expensive as hell

[light widget]

did you find the ||thief shop already?||

[hearty yarrow]

Then forgetting what I pinned it for

But I return to them when I get stuff

[echo hazel]

nope

as i said, power went out after i found the ||faye cloak||

[light widget]

ahhhhhh thought you had it back already :p mb

[echo hazel]

should be back in 20 minutes

[light widget]

but did you || rescue the thief in act 1 with a key? ||

[hearty yarrow]

Im jot farming rosaries regardless of store costs lol

Im just killing stuff and doing quests

[echo hazel]

yes, I've been rescuing him everywhere

[hearty yarrow]

And then finding out what I can get after

[light widget]

how much you got

[echo hazel]

i had to farm a little bit in act 2

[hearty yarrow]

Wait do you need to do this

Which ||thief||

[hearty yarrow]

Rn start of act 2 I am broke I spend all I had before the ||judge|| fight

[light widget]

well because i already said it || can you tell me his prices if you find him?|| because i || didnt rescue the guy but he free'ed himself||

[hearty yarrow]

Oh the ||green prince||?

[light widget]

|| is that his name xd?||

[hearty yarrow]

||i freed him as soon as I got the key in the road||

[light widget]

never bothered to read his name xd

[hearty yarrow]

I just kinda did

[echo hazel]

there's a big vertical room on the right side of ||the marrow|| i think

[hearty yarrow]

And was like that's a funky name

[hearty yarrow]

||that's the little thief fly right||

[echo hazel]

yeah

[hearty yarrow]

||dont need a key for that guy||

||just gotta hit his door||

[echo hazel]

ah you meant the guy in ||sinner's road||?

[hearty yarrow]

||I think so ye||

[echo hazel]

he's also ||a thief||?

[light widget]

well no i didnt mean that guy || i meant the small red dude ||

[hearty yarrow]

||no idea but there was one caged guy I needed a key for ||

[echo hazel]

i got my third simple key so I'm going for him next

[hearty yarrow]

||freed him with the second key I found lol||

||found key in sinners and just went well his door is closest lol||

[echo hazel]

i used the ||sinner's|| key for the ||deep docks|| door

[light widget]

same

[hearty yarrow]

||I used the other key for the wormways door||

[light widget]

but ye you will know who i mean when you find him @echo hazel

[echo hazel]

ok, I'll have to finish up ||mount faye|| first

[light widget]

https://tenor.com/view/good-luck-gif-14129006203736939143

[hearty yarrow]

I got into ||wormways|| so early btw

Before ||the glide||

[echo hazel]

i kept spending my rosaries on ||maps and bellways|| so i got into it just before the end of act 1

[hearty yarrow]

Just pogod on flying enemies into there from ||the upper marrow exit||

[rustic falcon]

I thought this was a middle finger lol

[hearty yarrow]

||beat the acid spitting guy, got the mask shard, and had nothing else to do there lol||

[rustic falcon]

Smh I was a huge hunger games fan

In my defense I just woke up

[light widget]

well in the later books they could use the middle one

[echo hazel]

oh actually @light widget once I'm done with ||mount faye|| i have to go back and reexplore EVERYWHERE so it'll take a while lol

[light widget]

ye i thought as much only explored the last 2 days and ignored progress 💀 and i still am missing so much

[hearty yarrow]

I am

Paranoid

I backtrack so much

Going like did I miss anything here or there or here or

||getting jailed in the slab was sure a cursed experience||

||if mario speedruns have nipple% as a category, will silksong have a naked% where you gotta get to the slab asap||

[echo hazel]

there will definitely be an extended category for it

[vagrant sierra]

so crests have different ||colour sets up|| this i was not aware of, thats cool

[light widget]

could anybody do something with the || firestones at the bottom of the deep dock|| already?

[jolly locust]

||wanderer for example is bad at the start due to only 2 yellows but gets better once you upgrade the 2 top ones to get 2 blue aswell||

[white lotus]

A discord of grey boxes. I like it

[light widget]

i really wanted to start getting progress into act 2, but then i found another new area 😐

[echo hazel]

got my 8th mask

||double jump|| is great 👍

my 12th shard was at the bottom left of ||blasted steps|| figuring out how to reach it was fun

[light widget]

||those dark tunnels? or the one you cant quite reach with double jump ?||

[echo hazel]

the one you can't quite reach with ||double jump|| because you have to use the ||harpoon|| too

do a running jump from the right side that has a slightly elevated edge, use ||harpoon|| at the peak of your jump, hold ||jump|| while still in ||harpoon|| animation and you'll make it

repeat for the next platform

[light widget]

well ty || tried a bunch of that but i guess i wasnt git enough ||

[echo hazel]

basically you have to understand that you don't necessarily need ||a hook point|| to use ||harpoon|| it's a big ||long distance dash|| by itself

[light widget]

|| ye i know that part already using it in a bunch of jump and runs (and a few even require it )||

[echo hazel]

once again i proceed to be the most goated hk player among you all 😎 😏

[light widget]

talk to me again when you did || bleak waters|| with your ||double jump ||

cause im done with that one

[echo hazel]

you mean ||bilewater||?

[light widget]

ye mb

[echo hazel]

I'm cleaning up

will get to it eventually

[light widget]

good luck with that took me 4-6 hours i believe to clear it completly

[echo hazel]

😳 ???

I'll do it faster trust 🫵 💪

[light widget]

i truly hope you do cause i lost quite a few mental points and there are not many left let me tell you that 😂

[wintry cedar]

I hate it

So bad

[light widget]

😎 welcome to my day yesterday

[wintry cedar]

I was there too yesterday I couldn’t do it

[light widget]

did you get ||pranked||?

or not

[wintry cedar]

I did

I expected it but was so hopeful

I was like “yeah this is probably a mistake but what if it wasn’t” and then it was

[light widget]

SAME

i then proceeded the || llong climb for the next 4 hours ||

but i came out victorious 💀

[jolly locust]

got 3 nailupgrades now, they were not easy to get

feels good though

[wintry cedar]

Wait hk or silksong

Cuz in silksong its a needle

[light widget]

same also found another ||hidden crest|| and idk if i like it or not 🤔

[jolly locust]

same thing

[wintry cedar]

There’s only one crest for me 🫡

Every other one is just not as good + I’m too used to ||reaper||

[light widget]

well i might have found an upgraded || wanderer with better range but good downward pogo 💀 ||

[jolly locust]

just unlocked crest of the ||witch,|| very tedious quest

[wintry cedar]

Sicknasty

[elder ivy]

@wintry cedar so if you do the regular ending does the game just place you back at the last bench to let you do a true ending too?

It doesn't reset the game or anything, right?

[wintry cedar]

Yup!

Same as in Hollow Knight

[light widget]

it takes your pc and launches it into the stratosphere, team cherry for world domination \O/!

[elder ivy]

Ok nice!

[wintry cedar]

Wait where’s the world sense equivalent

[elder ivy]

I am still taking my time in act 2 haha

[light widget]

free satelites

[elder ivy]

||just recently beat the Cogwork Dancers, absolutely amazing fight||

[wintry cedar]

I KNOW THAT’S MY FAVOURITE SO FAR

[elder ivy]

Hahahaha they're so great!!!

[jolly locust]

anyone else got this one? idk how to feel about it, seems very lackluster

[wintry cedar]

Boss that ||telegraphs their every move and gives you 3 seconds to react and it’s still adequately hard.. very good||

[jolly locust]

i guess the damage is there though

[elder ivy]

||so heart breaking towards the end though.... When one of them tries to do the dance...||

[wintry cedar]

I love divorce

[elder ivy]

I agree!

[light widget]

EHMMM that || crest||that i just found || ISNT SWITCHABLE ||

[elder ivy]

Why would hornet do this 💔

[wintry cedar]

WHAT

[light widget]

|| AND YOU CANT EQUIP ANYTHING||

[wintry cedar]

Her parents weren’t married she doesn’t know anything else

[wintry cedar]

HAHAHAHAH

[light widget]

phew thank you reddit || thought i had to save state scum 💀i aint playing without charms 😭 ||

[elder ivy]

@wintry cedar does this bossfight mean I'm approximately halfway through the game? Or something like that?

[wintry cedar]

Not really

The halfway boss is the ||last judge|| cuz that starts act 2

[elder ivy]

Ohh ok ok

I can't stop thinking about this game haha...its definitely one of the best games ever made..

🥹

Kinda want to stretch it out for as long as possible lol

[wintry cedar]

I see it in my dreams

[jolly locust]

are you on the mission i just completed maybe, are you|| infected?||

[wintry cedar]

I really love Hornet as a protagonist I think her characterization is perfectly consistent with HK and I love learning more about her

[elder ivy]

I agree!!

I love it so much

She's so great

[wintry cedar]

I neeeeed my pale king or herrah mention

[jolly locust]

i reached act 2 and have only been doing sidestuff for like 2 days now and exploring everything, saving the kingdoom can wait lol

[wintry cedar]

It’s so important

[elder ivy]

Hahaha same here pretty much

[wintry cedar]

They don’t talk about Hallownest as much as I wanted 🥺

[elder ivy]

I just made a point to try to get to the ||pale oil ASAP because I desperately wanted more damage||

[elder ivy]

Awwh.. Yeah it's a bit disappointing

[jolly locust]

im superstrong now because of it, a bunch of upgrades and very good tools plus more abilites

cant wait to just melt the end bosses

[wintry cedar]

I get that they don’t want to canonize any endings but cmahnn

I beat the final boss first try

[elder ivy]

Woooow

[wintry cedar]

On the other hand I died to ||Savage Beastfly|| like 30 times

[elder ivy]

Is it a boss I fought already?

[wintry cedar]

For sure

[jolly locust]

since you have beaten the game is there a place like ||pantheon? i wanna do bossrushes asap||

[elder ivy]

Omg yes I hate that one so much 😭

[light widget]

yesh ||not maggot water tho||

[wintry cedar]

I haven’t gotten true ending just the basic ending, but from what I heard, no

[elder ivy]

I genuinely cannot deal with all the extra small enemies everywhere in that fight

[jolly locust]

im sure it will come though, they have already confirmed quite a few future dlcs

[wintry cedar]

Dear god

TC just love making this game lmfao

[elder ivy]

The ||other version of that beast fly is even worse!!! But you have to do it because it gives you a mask part :(||

[jolly locust]

i followed a guide for that quest, ||couldnt stand the crying and then no heal, ||i can link you it if you want

[light widget]

||i already googled and got it open 💀 i aint playing act 2 without charms 🤣 ||

[elder ivy]

This game really was stuck in development heaven... It shows how much love and care and effort they put into this game already....... It's sooo clearly done with pure passion, not worrying about just creating a product to sell or whatever, like many games do

It’s the perfect sequel

[elder ivy]

I fully agree

[wintry cedar]

It feels exactly as if they just made More Hollow Knight

They did a phenomenal job

[light widget]

And lore wise you wouldnt even need HK

[wintry cedar]

Which I don’t like actually

[unique lily]

Team cherry when they have the opportunity to remove the floor from an already difficult boss (the ascended markoth tradition must go on)

[wintry cedar]

I wanted it to be connected to HK lore wise

[jolly locust]

yeah its a rough one, ||the reward isnt even that good either but youre kinda forced to complete it lol||

[wintry cedar]

I love the lore of HK

[elder ivy]

This game is definitely going into my top 5 or something.. Competing with Elden Ring and Deltarune...

[elder ivy]

That thing can ||do that move twice in a row, removing all of the floor!!! 😭 ||

[wintry cedar]

The one thing I wanted from Silksong was a thorough exploration of Hornet’s relationship to her parents and responsibilities as the Protector of Hallownest and while we get some of that it’s not nearly as much as I wanted

[light widget]

||funny enough only the floor would be doable after a couple of trys, but THE BOMBER ADDS?! What did we do to you team cherry 😭 ||

[unique lily]

it loosely is, but I always prefer sequels to do more of their own thing than ride on the back of the original. Makes for a better standalone experience for those who haven't played the first

[elder ivy]

Yeah those are definitely the hardest part of the fight......

[wintry cedar]

I mean I get that but like, HK is a very lore based game

It’s a game where you explore the land to learn more about yourself

[elder ivy]

Learn about yourself both in game and in real life!!

[wintry cedar]

And while Silksong is to an degree about that, the extent of exploration is limited because it cannot connect back to HK very much

[unique lily]

maybe in dlcs? 👀

[wintry cedar]

Hornet is very very connected to Hallownest as a kingdom and so Pharloom, being almost entirely separated from Hallownest, simply cannot explore her character to the depth I desire

[unique lily]

fair enough

[elder ivy]

Yeah I think I agree

But it's like.. No game can be absolutely perfect, and silksong is as perfect as it can be to me already, so it'll be a 10/10 anyways

[unique lily]

I am actually so invested in lace's character after finding that one lore room in ||the mist||

[wintry cedar]

FraudLord just checking did you get the first ending

[unique lily]

not yet

[wintry cedar]

Oh ho I haven’t explored that area fully yet before encountering her

I do fear that my impression of the first ending is warped because I’m missing some lore which is a shame because I explored almost everything 😔

[unique lily]

mossbag to the rescue!

[wintry cedar]

Maybe on a replay

[elder ivy]

meowbag

[wintry cedar]

Nuh uh I’m figuring it all on my own

I don’t want anyyy spoilers

[unique lily]

lol fair enough

[wintry cedar]

I didn’t know it’d be an ending 😭😭

[elder ivy]

start your own YouTube channel, call it meowbag

[wintry cedar]

I finished the final boss thinking there’d be more beyond it

[elder ivy]

Well at least it didn't undo your progress, so it's all okay, no?

[unique lily]

did you start act 3 yet?

apparently that's the best one by leaps and bounds

[elder ivy]

Can't wait....

[wintry cedar]

I’m trying but not yet

That’s what I’m trying to do now

That + finish the map

[elder ivy]

Ohhh so you can finish the game in act 2...

[unique lily]

I think silksong might be my favorite game of all time tied with elden ring, at least in terms of a first playthrough. My only wish for this game would have been released with an easy mode so more ppl can experience it without getting frustrated by the harsh difficulty

[wintry cedar]

Sorry if that’s a spoiler 😔

[unique lily]

I hope they do add an easy mode with a future dlc or something so ppl aren't scared away by the game being hard

[elder ivy]

It's okay, it's not too bad

[elder ivy]

So why do you sound disappointed that you did the final boss, if you can just keep exploring anyways?

And figure out the rest of the game

[wintry cedar]

Cuz it changes my experience

[elder ivy]

Ohhh okay

[jolly locust]

i assume there is a true ending boss though, if there isnt there will be a lot more added in future dlcs

[wintry cedar]

Finishing the final boss before knowing all the lore means my understanding of the ending is warped

[elder ivy]

I see your point...

[unique lily]

I wonder if that's an intentional experience. I was also super underwhelmed when I beat the hollow knight in the first game thinking there would be more to the ending. From the sound of it, it seems like the same case in skong

[wintry cedar]

Interesting! I wasn’t underwhelmed with HK because it was rather straightforward

Find the Hollow Knight, beat the Hollow Knight

It’s the name of the game

When am I going to fight the Silksong 😔

[unique lily]

I was like "that's the end?? our guy trapped for eternity???"

[elder ivy]

I feel so bad now because silksong completely overshadowed my hype for hades 2 hahaha... Hades doesn't seem to stand even close to how good silksong turned out to be.. At least for me 💔

[unique lily]

same

[wintry cedar]

Ahhh nodnod, I think it’s the same thing where if you miss some lore about the vessels you lack some understanding

[wintry cedar]

I think Silksong has a significantly better crafted narrative

[elder ivy]

Gameplay too in my opinion!

[wintry cedar]

But Hades 2 is more “fun” for me in the sense I don’t have to be stressed over it lol

[unique lily]

yeah tbf its very easy to just not understand a single piece of lore on your first playthrough of HK lol

[elder ivy]

Hahaha yeah there is a lot more stress in silksong for sure

[unique lily]

62f runs are calling your name...

[wintry cedar]

I don’t really feel the “accomplishment” of doing something difficult as significantly as others might, it’s the ADHD 😔

[wintry cedar]

Never gonna happen
