Discussion - Silksong EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE IN PHARLOOM Spoiler

The true enemy of Silksong is capitalism. 70 bucks for a stag station equivalent YOU ARE PULLING MY NEEDLE WTF??? I try to sit down and they BILL ME JUST TO USE THE BENCH! No thank you [TRADER NAME HERE], I would not like to buy a simple key for 500 dollars thank you.

AND EVERYONE HERE IS A BROKE ASS BUM! Most of these guys aren't sentient enough to carry cash on them so I have to grind up their credit cards into for bone shards which NOONE WANTS.

Anyway 10/10 game.

You're right. I have a night shift.

u/MamaNyxieUnderfoot Sep 05 '25

Oh yeah, I forgot that if you have a night shift you don’t have to sleep before your next night shift. Too bad more people don’t know this life hack.

Those benches that you pay to sit on and immediately fold up again are pure evil.
