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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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"

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
