Starting Keeper: "Oh sick, this lighthouse has a pet bird"
Halfway through: "Oh wait nvm, I think this bird has a pet lighthouse"

For like the 4th time this year I have "completed my slides" and nothing will ever compare to the joy and relief one feels upon "completing their slides".

I keep thinking about the symmetry of Hades 2 and Hollow Knight: Silksong both being second games where the original had an emo sadboy protagonist and then the sequel being about a girl who is just incredibly task-focused and direct and probably shops at Athleta

Yeah so in case you aren't up to date on your NC politics, we're not really doing the democracy thing anymore
The NC GOP just pushed through another gerrymandered map—because they can’t win fair elections.
It’s cheating, and it’s a disgrace. Voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.

Always blows my mind when the random people you're talking to at the hotel bar are surprised to learn you aren't local

I keep telling myself not to get my hopes up for the MAGFest hotel lottery, but I can't help it. I've tried to go 5 years in a row now, and I straight up can't. That's such a shitty way to run things.

Anyway, here's some thoughts that nobody asked for. If you don't want some light spoilers then uhh skip this thread but I'll try to be vague about late game stuff.

My one sentence Silksong review:
It had some moments so bad and unfun that I would have quit any other game, but it had some moments so incredible that I just *had* to see it all.

Spent the night farming Silksong's hunter's journal. Just a few more things left for me to do and it'll finally be time to go fight the final boss and wrap this thing up (just in time for Yotei). I think this will end up being one of those video game accomplishments that I'm super proud of.

I think silksong would be a lot better with infinite shards and I would download a mod to do that right now if I were not playing on switch

Alright, 15 hours into Silksong I'm comfortable saying its *wildly* inconsistent. I don't think they got the "quality over quantity" memo. Some of these boss fights are incredible, others are unfun and random. What's the point of a fight you can't learn from or iterate on?

If we cannot all be on the same page that the sitting president threatening to invade a US city is fascist dictator shit then truly I do not know what to do.

I can't tell if Silksong is SIGNIFICANTLY harder or if it just has a pacing issue, but fair warning that Moorwing (in the first few hours of the game) took me 4x as long as long to beat as The Radiance took me last night. And was way less satisfying 😓

Loving silksong but being reminded of my gaming hot take which is that "lose all your money if you die twice" is a shit game mechanic. Truly the jumpscare of the gaming world. Artificially stressful.
