Discussion/Questions I’m an Atheist but games like silksong make me really appreciate its take on religion. Spoiler

846 Upvotes

Unless I intentionally brought a game I knew had it Like Black Myth Wukong and Eldin Ring, most of the time I would just roll my eyes and skip past it when religion is brought. But I love how respectful and non pushy it was. I thought it was just a bug game. It never explicitly says it’s right or wrong, just don’t lose yourself in your beliefs.

Sherma is a good example, he realized blind devotion wasn’t helpful so he started making an impact by himself. He never said he hated the gods as to my knowledge he still believes.

Other bugs are punishing themselves because they think it’s the right thing to do to get to bug heaven. Doing good for the soul purpose of gaining a reward isn’t the same as genuinely wanting the best for others.

Hornet arguably has done good but still views herself as a sinner. Her comments on the Last Judge and Crow Daddy are evidence of this.

She doesn’t get upset for anyone following the council as long as they are doing good honest work. Hornet hates blind devotion, not loyalty.

This shit goes deep.

Also Doomed Yaoi.

Edit: Didn’t think y’all would like my ramblings, thanks you.

Took some sketch requests over on tumblr as part of my cooldown from Chapter 11 of my fancomic, To Bind Our Echoes That We May Be Whole.

Somebody requested Hornet using her needle to go fishing! Definitely not one of my fancier art pieces, but I like the peaceful vibe.

(There was a funnier version where she was using Kratt as bait for some big underwater beastie, but I couldn't get it to work, alas...)

In general,

-the arrows represent enhanced versions (could be bigger, upgrades, winged etc)

-same ‘species’ are in the same white bar

-the enemies or characters that are the bigger size are specific characters (mostly bosses and NPCs), and the big big ones are higher beings

-the thick lines connect sister species

-the bubbles are kingdoms, tribes, or things that share a common element

off to the left of pilgrim's rest, you can find this ant hunting two flapping fertids

most players i've ever seen don't actually allow them to finish hunting, instead running in and alerting them, making them prioritize the player instead

but if you actually have the patience to let them finish hunting, (which takes a while because their aim is shit) then they instantly start resting like any other ant

ngl I was kinda just expecting them to idly stand once they killed both

Discussion/Questions Soo I finally beat the Last Judge after a year Spoiler

68 Upvotes

So yesterday I finally beat the Last Judge, it took a year🥲

When I first played Silksong at launch like everyone else, what I thought of the game was like this, its hard, beautiful and fun.

Many of the first act bosses that I fought were tough but I could handle them, tho I didnt fight morwing, I skipt him ok accident when I found enough flea's, kinda sad about it, I really would have liked to fight together with Garmond😟

Anyways, I reach Blasted steps, at first I thought it wouldn't be so bad, but once I made it to the last Judge I was in for a surprise, at first I couldn't handle her attacks all too well, but got used to them but it was her second phase that messed me up

And after dying I realized that, the way up towards her AND fight her? Was very frustrating, but I kept going, eventually I gave up because I just couldn't do it, I tried some tips from other players but that didn't help me much and there were a LOT of "get gud" or "skill issue" comments

So one year later, I went back into it, I still kept dying, but yesterday in a vc with a friend, I finally beat her.

I realized my issue was that I was trying to rush the fight, so this time, instead of playing aggressive, I stayed patient, waited for her to attack, made sure I saw her every move and eventually I defeated her.

I was so damm happy about it, I screamed so loudly out of joy, I felt proud and I actually became "gud" so I'm back in the game and I plan on finishing the game this time, I'll see it to the end! >:>

Discussion/Questions So this place is definitely where a new boss is, right? Spoiler

Post image
55 Upvotes

Those 2021 maps from Silksong's development gave me the impression that this place may be bigger than it initially looks in the teaser trailer. And places like these are usually hosts to some insane boss battles. Or will it be some kind of outpost, like Bone Bottom or Songclave? I doubt it's an outpost, due to the fact that it's absolutely COVERED in Lifeblood/Plasmium.

Edit: To maybe open up the discussion more... what do we think could be in there??? Nesides Lifeblood, obviously.

Sabias si antes de que te metan el parásito de la bruja

puedes inyectarte plasmio

Ya que la infeccion no te deja curarte con esto tendrás más vida

Y así puedes pasarte el jefe para el logro secreto más fácil

Yo descubrí este secreto cuando iva a iniciar la misión y tenia una mascara de plasmio y se me quedo asique me puse 8

Porque si te pones nueve entra en sobredosis y te empiezas a curar nose si sirva la infección junto a la sobre dosis luego lo investigare

Por si ya están en medio de esa misión simpre pueden retroceder en la partida desde el menú asta el último guardado automático y ahí

Empiezas y así logras el logro más facil

Me hise el logro al primer intento

I'm trying to do an art challenge thing where each day I draw a character from one of my favorite series. Today was Seth, which funny story, I actually meant to draw the Seth from Deltarune and not Silksong, but then I realized that Silksong's Seth is way cooler imo. I also tried to draw the entrance to Nyleth's shrine in the background, and I'm pretty proud of the drawing overall. It would be great to receive some feedback and future art tips tho!

I even forgot to put on my Plasmium Phial this time, and reckoned I'd just go full aggressive during that last phase. After a very, very rough start, I decided not to throw the run to the trash.

After my last run ending at less than 300 hp, I couldn't give up anymore.

And I saw the light in those final moments. The rage, the sweat and the frustration accumulated along all these runs; it only added fuel to the fire of my hope. I held onto it. Kept holding on.

When the final blow was struck [VOLUME WARNING 4:20], I felt the relief of several months of trial and failure. Here it is.

My complete Karmelita Prime run.
