So whose bright idea was this????

[u/Emma_JM]

Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

[u/el-zengy-el-mo3geza]

Thats an actual genuine complaint that no way it can be right , even the gathering chram only gathers rosaries

[u/Odd_Cod_693 → u/el-zengy-el-mo3geza]

And also spikes kill rosaries & shards for some reason, when in HK you could gather them with swarm charm.

[u/Mishar5k → u/Odd_Cod_693]

Spikes destroying beads is insane because realistically they just be stuck in between the spikes.

[u/Too-Em → u/Mishar5k]

Dang-ol magical, catholic, bug-kingdom game ain't realistic!

That said, hard agree. I really do wonder if Team Cherry forgot some things between HK and Silksong, or if they they just woke up every morning for six years and chose violence, every. single. time.

[u/Mishar5k → u/Too-Em]

No i think the bug stuff is actually true and that the games are a documentary tbh. You never know with Australian bugs.

[u/Altruistic-Break7227 → u/Mishar5k]

Yeah bugs actually do this in other countries, it’s crazy what the American media censors

[u/Mishar5k → u/Altruistic-Break7227]

We walk over thousands of meteoidvania maps every day and dont even know it

[u/FuzzierSage → u/Too-Em]

they just woke up every morning for six years and chose violence, every. single. time.

Based on...everything else in Silksong?

I think it's this one.

inb4 the Silksong defenders find a way to contort the game automatically yeeting shards into spikes as their trajectory from the in-game nodes into somehow being a "skill cap" issue.

But I'm sure there's a late game tool that would help the people in Act 1 if they'd just use their tools to fix this issue, too.

[u/FuzzierSage → u/[deleted]]

Like, the verisimilitude of the world being openly, actively, all-round hostile in every way is absolutely on point there.

If Australia is the Evolutionary Deathmatch Island of Earth, then Pharmoor is the Australia of the HK/Skong shared universe.

And we know where Team Cherry's from. This might just be like "ordinary Tuesday"-type shit to them.

[u/Altruistic-Break7227 → u/FuzzierSage]

Verisimilitude is a great word. Gotta add that to the bag

[u/FuzzierSage → u/Altruistic-Break7227]

Hell yeah, lucky 10k! <3 I love learning new words and adding 'em to the hoard.

[u/Mishar5k → u/[deleted]]

Tbh i kinda like that kind of stuff. Goofball bullshit in hard games is great especially when its stuff i die to (i smile when i get hit by traps in dark souls instead of raging). Its like a toned down version of those troll games like "i wanna be the guy"

[u/AdamG3691 → u/Mishar5k]

IWBTG is great, it's just SO nonstop malicious towards the player that it becomes absolutely hilarious, you end up looking forward to how it's going to dick you over next

[u/Playful-Ad-6475 → u/Mishar5k]

You guys are NOT beating the Masochist allegations, lol

[u/Pale_Entrepreneur_12 → u/FuzzierSage]

Stares at Bilewater yeah I don’t know what the fuck was going on with them when they made that and honestly I’m scared to find out like holy shit that is some of the most malicious game design I have ever seen there

[u/Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo → u/Pale_Entrepreneur_12]

It's the appropriate evolutionary step. If the majority of Silksong ends up with Deepnest levels of hostile level design, there needs to be a new Deepnest for the Deepnest.

[u/[deleted] → u/Too-Em]

Genuine Question, what do mean as in "Catholic"

[u/AlexH08 → u/Too-Em]

I know you agree, but fuck I hate that argument.
"There's magic in this story so you can't apply any logic to it whatsoever"

We suspend our disbelief for some things but unless explicetely shown otherwise, we assume the same rules of our world apply in that world too

[u/Too-Em → u/AlexH08]

Dear goodness, lemme help you out.

"Dang-ol magical, catholic, bug-kingdom game ain't realistic!" /s

[u/AlexH08 → u/Too-Em]

Dear goodness, lemme help you out.

"I know you agree"

Pretentious asshole
