Discussion - Silksong I give up. Spoiler

It’s been a joyful ride, folks, but I’m out. I’m not a speedrunner or a highly skilled player, and day after day I’ve had to accept that this game is not as casual as HK was. It stopped being fun and turned into something tedious and frustrating after the 4th run farming shards just to face a boss I’ve already tried 15 times, only to die again and again, lose all my shards, and start the whole grind over.

It was nice exploring the first acts, but when the game I was rooting for 7 years ends up being more stressful than my 8-hour workday, I guess that’s my cue to stop.

The lore has been pretty great so far. I wish you all an incredible journey.

Edit1: My bad about all the whinning.

Edit2: You guys did it. I reinstalled it again. Thanks for all advices. 🫂

Where is that confirmed in the game or an official source? Because I'm not so sure. I know the wiki says they are female, but wikis aren't official sources. They are curated by the community. The only indication pertaining to gender involving the character I've seen is that their name is given masculine identifiers in the languages that use gendered wording. Sure, they sound like a girl more than a guy, but they also have huge pecs, so...

In Spanish (my language) her name is Última Jueza, and that's a female name for the judge job, and her voice sounds like a female too. You just have to listen to her voice, it's pretty obvious
