it's really a shame because Adobe Premiere's new "extend this clip for another few frames with generated visuals" feature is SO cool in theory and would genuinely be a game changer (if you've edited videos, you know how a few frames can make a cut come together) but because it's fuckin' AI I hate it

man I really did do Depthsless Depths, huh? That one's probably still the craziest imo

I haven't scrolled in days. I've come on here to post, then immediately leave. It's honestly so refreshing not being bombarded with dumbfuck opinions from dumbfucks I'll never meet. Like, if my friend says some dumb shit, we can work through it. I can't be losing energy on the entire population.

Some fun, fucky facts about my fanfiction: The first part of the story "Wayward Baby" is 531,347 words and 50 chapters. But the chapters start getting way longer near the end. You'd think you're at the halfway point at chapter 25, right? Chapters 41-50, are 220,483 words, or 49.5% of the story.

After almost two years, I'm finally posting a new chapter of my Jojo Fanfic "Heaven Baby" Yes, it's real! YouTube just distracted me for a while, ahaha. Catch the new chapter here: archiveofourown.org/works/398643... Art by @rejzyberry.bsky.social

Alright, that's everything. Now nobody can tell me to "get good" when I vent frustrations about this very beautiful, annoying game.

My FIRST OOT No Logic Rando!

I think a large number of games outsource their stories to YouTube theorists, and we let them get away with it. Why write something that could have holes and require revisions when you can scatter puzzle pieces on the table and let teenagers explain the story you didn't write to children?

Somehow the Xbox I bought in 2020 has appreciated in value. This is literally bonkers, pardon my French. Imagine improving your hardware or having exclusive games. Sony and Nintendo are doing actual work! They're MAKING something. This is embarrassing.

In protest, Jimmy Fallon should do an entire episode where he silently stares at the camera, not uttering one word or interviewing one person. It'd be a powerful message about censorship, and incidentally the best episode of Jimmy Fallon.

Not sure why I have to say this but if you hang your ideals at the altar of "centrism" as a concept and not any specific, tangible policies, you are giving control of your beliefs to the radicals that will inevitably pull you in many different directions. But hey, at least you'll be in the middle!

True ending, and what an ending it was.

Good lord, I just wrote 3k words of Silksong opinions in an hour. IDK if I'll make a genuine video essay with these raw emotions, but if you want the entire essay right now it's on my Patreon. Essay: www.patreon.com/posts/silkso...

Just gave up against Silksong's final boss for the second full play session in a row. My biggest fear is this is just the pre-final boss with no checkpoint, and when I finally beat this bitch after 5hrs it's gonna be time for the REAL final boss, and I might genuinely just uninstall at that point.

you’ll notice democrats have not said ANYTHING about silksong difficulty. havent even weighed in. its like they dont even care. tone deaf

Gonna be doing a Hollow Knight Randomizer this evening after taking last week off! Need a break from Silksong before beating Act 3. There will be no spoilers for Silksong, so feel safe to tune in!

LMAO VIRTUAL BOY???

If Sunshine comes to NSO, that basically renders 3D All Stars obsolete, and brings Galaxy 2 to Switch. Good!

Mario GALAXY movie? Interesting... what game will tie into this? Galaxy 2 rerelease?

I blame YouTube for permanently infecting a generation with "superiority speak." Everyone is perpetually trying to dunk on each other, clip farming and trying to get a screenshot of their "badass comeback" viral. The way these people speak is not acceptable anywhere but a comments section.

oh my god this flea juggling miningame is bullshit. i wanna deal full damage against the final boss, but the last nail upgrade is locked behind the most poorly designed game of "keep the balloon in the air" ever conceived? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HIT EACH FLEA THREE TIMES FOR IT TO REGISTER ONE JUGGLE

I don't mean this in the critical sense of the word but Silksong is literally an *exhausting* experience. Coral Tower is a 17 minute fight. Thankfully they give you a checkpoint after the third wave of enemies (I would've actually uninstalled if they hadn't) but that's just too much. No restraint.

I beat the Bilewater combat arena. Wanted to post my winning clip but it's **SIX MINUTES LONG** and bsky doesn't allow for that length. Seriously, that's too long for a simple fight, not even a boss. Every time I think "this has to be the last wave" there are five more. This game has no chill.

Okay Team Cherry is an amazing studio and you shouldn't speak critically of indie devs making art they find satisfaction in. What that said: Bilewater is a goddamn disaster of an area, cranks every "Team Cherry Bullshit" quality to 11, and would never, EVER have been approved by a larger studio.

Okay so that was clearly the bad ending, IDK why we even bother with the formality. Guess I'll look for the mysterious "good ending" items or whatever.

ah, so there it is. the triple-damage attack. and it's even an unskippable cutscene to make you feel like an extra fucking idiot. amazing work gang.

I think a weird bit of parasocial frustration that isn't touched upon too often is how fans seem uncomfortable with the creator's boundaries. The creator can say "This makes me upset, I hate when fans do this" and someone in chat will "jokingly" say/do it. Like they're exempt? Happens every time.

the reason everything's dealing double damage is because this is the second Hollow Knight game, meaning it's Ascended difficulty. Y'all are gonna be mad when the third game is "Oops! All Radiant" and you die in one hit.

okay so what're we feeling here? Do you think there's gonna be a balance patch? Or will Team Cherry decree we shall have fun precisely as prescribed, and we simply need to "get good?" 🤔

Is there a way to leave the fucking Citadel??? I wanna go back to Pharloom and find mask shards and shit. This is way too fucking difficult. lmao

The combat arena in High Falls is absolutely ridiculous. I timed it, and it took me six minutes to get to the final (I hope) part of the encounter against two giant enemies with enormous hitboxes that all deal double damage. Getting hit three times means game over after SIX MINUTES of fighting.

man this game is kinda infuriating bullshit. beautiful, elegant, brilliantly designed, yet for some reason sprinkled with the artificial difficulty of "what if fucking everything did double damange?" You're effectively working with half the health from Hollow Knight and fighting WAY tougher shit.

THIS IS AMAZING, THANK YOU!

I like the bone shard mechanic, and I think having limited ammo for your tools is a good idea. One issue though is if you keep dying to the same boss, you will eventually run out of bone shards, meaning you either have to grind for more, or fight the boss without essential parts of your kit.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but every area in Silksong makes me feel as helpless and underequipped as Deepnest. A bold design choice, but good lord am I fatigued. I feel like I HAVE to be missing benches and health upgrades. I just have to be. The game can't actually be this hard.

Hey yall, Does anyone have any potential leads on video related work? Not really making any money and am eager to secure an income This could be video/audio editing, script writing, hell even making thumbnails or any other kind of work that overlaps with my previous Youtube experience.

Stop asking successful people for their "Secrets," it's called luck. 95% of the time it's luck. A social experiment that cheated a game of Monopoly for certain players found those players would proudly explain their "winning strategy" when asked for tips. It's called confirmation bias and ego.

Sometimes I scroll through r/NewTubers as a guilty pleasure. The amount of people who want a video editor for their brand new channel is astounding. So you don't want to MAKE videos? You just want videos to BE MADE, featuring you? You wanna be the star, and someone else should do all the labor? lol

What's a small moment in a game that sticks with you? I always love exiting the Lanayru spring after the third twilight in TP. The time of day is set to morning, there's a gentle fog over the water, and it's the first time you hear the Lake Hylia music. So tranquil after a brutal bug hunt.

okay five hours in Silksong is a masterpiece. little quirks aside, those are only issues because of how obsessed I was with every gameplay detail of the original. I'm sure in due time this game will feel just as natural. It's really, REALLY hard, too. Super happy with day 1.

Update, Hornet's dash is better than Mothwing Cloak. We're back.

I did an enemy pogo skip and my reward was a room with nothing but more enemies to fight.

oh my god this is actually the worst. I know it must be a skill issue, but oh my GOD these red things you're supposed to pogo off with the not-pogo??? You have to switch directions every time, and if she doesn't lock onto the thing you want, you're just fucked. Why does it have a downwards lunge????

Hornet's dive strike is inferior to the Knight's pogo in every way. I keep getting myself killed trying to use it like the pogo. I must just be doing it wrong. I'm sure it'll stop feeling like shit after a few hours. But it ALMOST works like the pogo and CAN be used to pogo so it's infuriating.

The first thing I've noticed playing Silksong is how it eerily solidifies just how empty the player character was in the first game. Hornet is speaking, crying out in battle, grunts in pain. She talks to NPCs, having real dialogue with them. It's so strange to think we were a silent ghost before.
