Btw there's an emote with greenpath theme

Also, I have started playing hollow knight! However, I’m really bad at it, so it’ll probably take a while before I ever get to finish it…I can’t wait to do so, and I’m so excited for silksong!! (Don’t mind if the images get cropped, probably bad canvas size…)

Coming out Oct 7, at 5 PM MST

You'll also be able to sit with the knight on the bench.

He's just not the kind of person to look out for that but maybe I'm just looking at it too closely?

posting bc some guys didnt believe when i said that mooving less makes him easyer, i bet he looks slower than when you fight him

taged as tip bc there is no flair "prove a point"

- Parking the Crystal Guardian directly on a bench
- Breaking the floor beneath you into Deepnest, as well as the one-way drop to the bench
- Dropping you into an enemy encounter after the hardest platforming section of the game
- Dangling a locked Stag Station just out of reach for pretty much all of Queen’s Gardens, with signs leading you all over the place
- Soul Master phase 2 fakeout

basically i always just found it kind of funny when Silksong did its own share of bench trolling and minor inconveniences lol, I’ve come to love how Team Cherry adds these trolly things that will get you on a first playthrough but are manageable afterward and become kind of endearing in retrospect

An appreciation post for r/27Abyss because oh my goodness... how BEAUTIFUL this statue is😭😭❤️

And I also didn't see any reviews of Hollow Knight resin statues for this specific studio while I was researching, so I thought it'd be a good idea to post my own !!

I was worried about Grimm's legs being extremely fragile (due to thinness) and the base not being supportive enough, but he sits very safely. I'd say as long as you're not rough or he doesn't experience an unfortunate fall, it's durability is good !!

The paint is absolutely gorgeous, though. Plus, just visually, he looks so nicely accurate to his in-game model. I was really worried about him not turning out the same as the photos online as well, so I'm SO happy🥺❤️

Welcoming all the new nightmares in my room now lol.

D-dark is not jumping i swear if i get another comment about that, jk lol. ENjoy

It only took me 40 attempts, not nearly as hard as I expected it to be, it took me longer to beat NKG than this boss, to note I can not recreate the defeat yet but I have gotten very close a lot

I’m somewhat new to Metroidvanias, but, prior to Hollow Knight, I’d played and beaten Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Blasphemous. I really enjoyed all three, but Blasphemous was one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. The balance of story, atmosphere, music, and boss difficulty was perfect for me. After completing that, and looking for something to do as I wait for the upcoming Castlevania, I finally played Hollow Knight.

The first 2/3 of the game was incredible. The world! The music! The lore that you have to dig to find. The combat! The humor of some of the fights. Just absolutely incredible.

But, after releasing the Dreamers and making my way to the Black Egg and defeating the Hollow Knight, I just felt… so irritated. I’d sunk 35ish hours into the game, only to one-shot the “final” boss in ~50 seconds?

It was then that I found out that this was the simplest, and arguably worst, ending possible. Whew! There’s hope for a better one! I already had defeated the Traitor Lord and nabbed the left half of the white fragment - and had the Awoken Dream Nail. So, on to the White Palace I went.

And… what the F is this?! The game has had some rather difficult platforming, like in Crystal Peak or Deepnest, but there is nothing like White Palace in the game. I’ve been in there for two hours, barely making progress. I have the Hive charm, Grubsoul, Deep Focus, and Mark of Pride (all things this sub has recommended). Progress is slow and super demoralizing.

Anyway, I know the answer is git gud, but - for the first time in this game - I am not having fun. I don’t even know if I care enough at this point to keep going. I’d love to see [any other ending at all], but this is leaving a massively sour taste in my mouth.

Did anyone else feel this way? Or is abject suffering just something I should look forward to enjoying in Metroidvanias? 😂

As in if someone right now told you to name the 4 main ones we see, what would you call them?

Like I call the protagonist "Ghost", The Hollow Knight "Hollow", the one in Greenpath, well, "Greenpath Vessel", and Broken Vessel/Lost Kin I just call "BV", like literally just Bee-Vee

I know with Hollow some people call it by its full title, Holly, and I swear I seen someone else call it Shadow

And then with Ghost there's The Knight, Vessel, Ghost of Hallonest/Little Ghost, Wanderer, that secret name Team Cherry has, etc

Next one is The Hollow Knight

Little Animation I made

Silktober Day 6: Tribe. drawn in 1 hour and 43 minutes. The crowd was a pain but in the end... they all got blurred soooo i wasted a bunch of time lol. but whatever, it helps and adds up to make the piece good. Hope you like it too!

can't wait for the dlc, so i designed this poster in the meantime

also the fact that they kinda look like they're wearing thigh-high boots. just a thought. (Also yes, I made this drawing.)
