i HAAAAATE self-sacrifice as a redemptive action. you didnt redeem shit!!! you just died!!!
t-shirt that says DONT SACRIFICE YOURSELF FOR ME! I WILL KILL YOU!
I mean do you want a redemption arc or a "the people I've wronged like me now" arc or a "I acted consistently with my character the whole time and at the end I did something nice for the protagonists" arc because those are three different things.

āscythes are impractical battle weaponsā you say but i canāt hear you over the swish swish of my huge fucking scythe, which is cool
Honestly my only concern with scythes in fiction is "Did you put any thought into designing this to animate well? Because it severely restricts the cool if it doesn't animate well." Marluxia's scythe? Excellent. Zasalamel, at least in his first appearance? Clunky, awkward, poor range of motion.
Silksong is frustrating cuz like. It's a clearly fantastic game buried underneath a dozen really questionable design choices.
Why does every single boss and many of the enemies deal 2 pips of health when you only have 5 to start? Why is there only one mask available in the first like, 16-18h of the game, when 2 pip damage is so common? Why are runbacks so frequently long and dangerous, when even one hit basically thirds your health for bosses? Why are there so many pointless kill X amount of Y quests? Why do only some enemies drop currency? Why are notches per crest instead of overall? Why is there a massive lack of upgrades in the entire first act? Why do tools even need a secondary currency if you can only hold so many?
It's just. Like I can't hold it against them too much, this is only their second game, but fuck. I'm still giving it 8/10 but the issues are really piling up atp.
A LOT of problems stem from the fact that they had like two QA testers and 3 devs who played the game for like 7 years, got crazy good at it, and balanced it for themselves. I feel like if they brought in even one guy at the end who havent played it or spent the last 7 years speed running HK to give it a go, this could have been avoided
have you considered#leaving whatever area youre in and going somewhere that the enemies arent dealing two masks#or even#run past the enemies that are giving you problems#or#better yet#search around for bundles of that oh so scarce tool material so you can get free shit#and not have to grind for even a second#just play the game like its not gonna gjve you an easy runback#its in the blood of the genre from like#twenty years straight of bullshit#either get used to it or play something else#like#the big husk with the club in hollow knight was in crossroads#he did two masks#and you heal one at a time in hollow knight#without charms*#are we complaining about that?#or are you just not used to it yet and fresh on a new game and#getting#your ass#beat#yk#like youre supposed to#i beat multiple supposedly hard bosses with no needle upgrades#no tool upgrades#why do i mention this?#its not because u need to get good or anything#its because the game has guaranteed given you what you need to succeed#if you arent? go somewhere else and have fun
Do you think this is like dark souls or something? Is there a levelling system I missed? Can I simply improve my build out of the difficulty? Where do you go to avoid enemies that deal 2 when every area past the literal tutorial has them? If I have one boss between me and the end of the act, what am I supposed to do then? Wander around shit I've already seen and do things I've already done? Do you think every single boss dealing 2 is comparable to the v rare boss in HK that did the same? Is it good design to give 2 pip damage to every single boss? Do you think this might come off lazy and artificial? Is there an answer to every boss killing you in three hits besides get good? Is this an arbitrary problem created by lack of upgrades in the first third of the game and starting health? Do you think this is the first hard game I've played? Do you think this is the first hard metroidvania I've played? Or even in the top 5? Is every bit of difficulty in a hard game good, or can it be bad design? Is it paint you are huffing?
The literal last game I was playing before Silksong was fucking Rain World and I enjoyed it immensely. I know what I'm goddamn talking about.
Really, it's the tedium - not the difficulty. There's a few moments in the game that have painful difficulty just on difficulty alone, yes, but that's every hard metroidvania or vaguely soulslike elements game.
But many even basic enemies have enough health that killing them adds up into a chore. Runbacks are a chore. Boss health is a chore. Getting to phase 3 of a boss then dying in 5 unlucky seconds because your attention wandered briefly due to the length of the fight, then having to sit through even more of that same fight on the next try is, very much, a chore.
And even little things! Not only does the low amount of MP and high cost of healing disincentivise silk skills, not only do shards form an artificial barrier to using tools with impunityā¦ They also put a harsh limit on how many times you can go all-out on a boss with tools before you gotta leave to farm them back.
I just finished the game 100%, took me 115 hours. I only got through it by relying heavily on tacks and cogflies, and starting mid act 3 just kinda giving up all pretence and using plasmium overdose on more than half the remaining bosses. I coulda gotten good enough to do it with more strategic freedom if I really wanted - I've done SL1 runs of each dark souls, I've platinumed Sekiro even though I ultimately kinda hate that game for the same reasons Silksong frustrated meā¦ But it feels bad to grind for it when the skill floor is so high before you get to having fun.
I'm gonna go back and re-experience the original hollow knight now that I'm done, but I hope to hell that by the time Silksong has DLC they've taken a good hard look at all that enforced tedium and patched a ton of it out so I can do another run of the game where I can actually engage with it on a level where I'm enjoying more than the ambiance and art by the late game.
the thing is that whenever someone says "pluto IS a planet" you don't know if they're actually a space fan who is prepared to love and cherish all the other bodies that would become planets if pluto was promoted again or the dumbest motherfucker on earth who thinks science should have stopped when they left 3rd grade
i have no argument as to why pluto should be a planet other than āitās probably really sad that it isnāt a planet anymoreā and iāll stand by it god damn it
but pluto loves his new friends
My astronomy professor pointed out that Pluto went from being just another planet to being the model specimen and best known example of a whole new class of objects, and argued that that's a promotion not a demotion.
Dwarf *planet*, guys. Dwarf *planet.* I have no clue why this is even a discussion, tbh. If they wanted it to not be a planet anymore they could have called it something that doesn't indicate it as a subcategory.
Updated my fursona, enjoy!

The bots are getting worse. Iāve had to block ten already just today!
Iāve... still to get any. Ever. What am I doing so different to anyone else?
There he is Batman Bin Suparman
A sleazy little mafia dude with a thin moustache offers to sell you some "physical nfts" that appear to be lewd playing cards. Guaranteed by the blockchain.
"The blockchain?" you ask
"Ey Vinnie, customer wants ta see da blockchain."
A huge muscle bound man in an ill fitting suit lets out a grunt of acknowledgement as he effortlessly, one handed, lifts a chain with a cinderblock tied to the other end.
You concede that's pretty well verified.
nightcore? psh, in MY days we called it CHIPMUNK VERSION. The nerve of this generation.
Uh, obviously Nightcore is if the music video is a still image of an anime girl you absolute fool. Chipmunk versions are exclusively those versions without the picture of an anime girl.

Amazing first season! Fucking flawless
I wouldnāt say Flawless. Thereās a couple major changes they made from the comic that I do not agree with and believe lessen the impact of the finale. It was still pretty amazing though.
Honestly? As someone whoās read the comic and knows whatās gonna happen later,
The level of sadism they added to Nolanās behavior in the last episode causes a characterization issue thatās going to make his later arc less credible, because... He was already a better person due to his time on Earth. Nolanās āredemption arcā is very muted with him doing little to prove himself before his family and friends accept him again. Heād already underwent his big change in character *before* the events of the comic/show, and this was an anomaly. A sort of Viltrumite mid life crisis brought on by panic, the fact that his duty was now to induct Mark into the Viltrumite way of life made him backslide and make some very rash decisions he came to regret the moment he saw what heād done to his son. I went back and re-read the relevant comic issue to be sure, and yeah: I can buy a very powerful being such as a Viltrumite who is āalready a better personā getting into a brawl where he lets catastrophic collateral damage slide...Ā But cartoon Nolan did way more than just ignore collateral damage: He traumatically used his sonās body as a murder weapon against an entire train full of people to try to prove a point. I get that it dialed up the spectacle of the whole thing, and the show was overall pretty good. Just... Thereās this one flaw in the execution of a very key moment that takes quite a lot of words to spell out clearly.
I recently watched the Star Wars Original Trilogy for the sake of finally seeing it all in one shot with an adultās critical eye.Ā But now Iām left with the real questionā¦ do I dare do the same for the Prequel Trilogy?
Iāve been watching the series in chronological order and just finheād Solo last night. The prequels are fine if you can handle the middle one being a bit boring and having some awkward actor chemistry.
(The original, for reference)
Well thatās probably not good.
Itās just Thanos being omnipotent again, heāll go away and sulk eventually either way so itās best to just ignore him.

Got all the Assault Intercessors built. First five are done as per instructions. Second five I cut the pegs off the shoulders and swapped their arms around for a bit of variety.
Got most of the iconography on everyone done. Just missing their squad numbers, which I need to go thru everyone Iāve done so far and see whoās assigned what and where and plot this out a bit.
Chaplain and Judiciar got new Reiver heads, and the Judiciar and Ancient got right side pauldrons.
I forgot about the Outriders on the bottom tray. Will get to get their iconography done tonight.
Mine still hasnāt arrived, but Iām curious whether I can source another of those 40k executioner swords (maybe if that guy gets a clampack kit?) and convert Inquisitor Gael.
I'm playing through Jedi Fallen Order and I've decided Cal Kestis is an egg
Cal Kestis is just there to hold BD-1ā²s lightsaber.
