That's 100% nonsense and absolutely not true. Don't trust ppl saying dumb things on the internet. I remember this from a few years ago and it was laughable then. He trademarked the Inktober brand so you can't use it as a mark or title, but you 100% own the work. Honestly...

Painted for #inktober Day 5 (DEER).

I only used black/white, two brushes and 3.5 hrs. You enjoying these?

Painted for #inktober Day 4 (MURKY). "The fog parts over the murky bog, Hollowreed, and there he stands—Mournmarsh, the bog’s silent warden, waiting for the next fool to stray too deep."

5 hours! It nearly killed me. Did I save it? I nearly tore it up ;)

Painted tonight for #inktober (CROWN). "Kara Stormfang wears the golden crown of her slain father. With fire in her eyes, she leads her tribe to reclaim their homeland from the empire that stole it." #inktober2025

About 3h. Not sure how to speed up. I try loose strokes but...

Painted tonight for #inktober (WEAVE). "In the moonlit clearing, Witch Morwenna works her loom of blackthorn and bone, weaving strands of shadow into a tapestry of faces—each one a soul she has bound to her will." #inktober2025

This too me too long. Just got lost.

A moment of recognition to all you solo indie game devs silently grinding it out. Sacrificing fun and socializing in pursuit of a dream and a goal. Worrying if it's good enough. Sweating the small stuff. One night at a time. Respect. You'll get there. #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Interesting data from OpenAI on what people use ChatGPT for.

Oh I see...this isn't the core path for me? I have no idea where to go then. Will poke around more when I get up. I beat the Ant Boss because I thought that was the path. Is it the singing lady nearby? Lace?

I don't think greymoor is accessible to me (just looked it up).

This is by far the worst so far. The rest I can deal with, with a YT guide (which I'm ok with for Souls style games) or just trying a boss for an hour. But this mechanic is just ridiculous. No tolerance. Move them closer together, give me more height on a jump. Done. I don't respect the design here.

i have that crest. The Wanderer's Crest (where you can attack straight down). Still too hard.

I'm sorry, but pogo jumping off these red motherfuckers is the ultimate bullshit of all bullshit in Silksong. It's too tight and intolerant. Way too hard. Just unnecessary and poor design, imo. As for 'git gud'? Yer mom doesn't complain. 🤣 #silksong

I generally believe in "git gud" but also in liberal use of YT guides for things. These games nearly require it to farm money and find key items or just learn "getting these 3 things early will make your experience better". I see all that as just part of the base game design and part of the play ;)

George Broussard @georgebsocial.bsky.social · 23d

It’s too punishing. Not sure it plays in 2d as well as 3D. I think I may not be willing to put up with as much.
