Dicta Striker being the super intense but easily flustered type is my kryptonite man. It's basically the entire foundation I built Val on.

Hello new one off character design I'll be obsessed about. How is it that CG has literally never missed with the new characters.

The AC3 intro literally rewrote a part of my brain as a kid. I'm basically who I am now because of it.

It's probably the most embarrassing outfit I've put her in. I should do it again.

I sometimes jump awake in the middle of the night, feverishly muttering "Lancer girls fanbook, no one (but capitalism) could stop me" before going back to sleep.

New PSG was a lot of fun, everything I could have hoped for from a long awaited sequel. There's something deeply comforting about knowing you can still enjoy the things you did a lifetime ago. And if this is it for real this time, I'll dearly miss this era of Trigger.

I wrote about how Silksong, like its prequel, has the same appeal as a good FromSoftware Souls game for me: dozens of individually enjoyable moments that weave into a greater tapestry.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has the same Soul as its predecessors

They made a sequel to Hollow Knight and it's good at all the same things Hollow Knight was good at. Cool!

Finally done. Definitely a different vibe here than some people, but Silksong is a joy. 😌

I definitely talk about midgame spoilers to some degree, so be warned. Thank you to @trynant.bsky.social and @starrymirai.moe for proofreading.

I was, as is my normal way, not on the hype train for Silksong. I wasn't reading updates, I wasn't Silkposting. I wasn't desperately waiting for a release date. I had no emotional stakes in its existe...

Feel like I try to get that fix out of From games nowadays but it's a different style and pace, spacing generally doesn't matter near as much in those games as it did in Silksong, which really helps it stand out despite the cliche "dark souls metroidvania" tag it often gets branded with.

Great writeup, one of the best I've read about Silksong's design choices. I've thought a lot about how fighting game coded SS's combat design is and I kinda wish more single player games explored that. I'm too ass to play other humans anymore but I still love the concept of playing neutral.

"[the combat/difficulty]... are there to add friction, and what friction does is slow you down. And when you're moving more slowly, you become more observant; the more observant you become, the more you start noticing the piecemeal moments of storytelling that string together into a greater whole."

I love the final Lace fight so much. She has parries, she has punishes, she plays neutral, sometimes she'll just walk up DP you. I'm halfway between saying Lace is sekiro coded (mastering pattern recognition and combat rhythm) or fighting game coded (mastering space control and mental stack).

lmao not quite. rot13 is a letter substitution cipher. You plug it into any site that automatically 'translates' it to get the real text. It's a way to do spoiler text on sites that don't allow you to hide text.
