I'm shocked the game didn't include a bench mimic. Something that transforms into a double hitter that takes 15 hits to hill. Nothing is sacred to these Aussies. At least in Dark Souls bonfires as shown respect. You know what you're gonna get, when you see the light. Silksong loves to kill you. It's funny and then it's sad. The worst part is its a one-time trick. All that work, just for basic bait to make people pog.

She's a literal god bug with power over anyone with her silk in their bodies, and it's clear that the sleep she was put under was only barely keeping her at bay. And even if the Citadel being the shithole that it is wasn't done deliberately on her end, she sure as shit didn't have a problem keeping it that way after turning its inhabitants into her slaves via the Haunting.

Weaver apologists, kill yourself. This is as close as the game comes to direct exposition, and it is clear on the fact that the treasonous Weavers are to blame. They are likely the one that caged the First Sinner too. There is no crime that GMS committed to compares to the evils perpetuated upon the bugs of Pharloom by the spiders. Eternal slavery, environmental destruction, genocide, soul extraction, etc. They are demonic.

Now, to be fair, when the Weavers left/died, the Citadel was 'unadorned'. It was the bugs they left it to that turned it into what it is today.
One of the Weaver memorials even mentions it's guarding the 'clear waters' of what is today Bilewater, so presumably the environmental destruction didn't happen under their watch.

That's fair. But still, both the vaultkeeper and the architect hold directives to obey weavers, which implied to me that the current state of the citadel's infrastructure was constructed under their watch. In my mind the conductors were responsible for Pharloom's decline, which is not really their fault, because their silk began to run out. What's more likely to me is that there was a schism within the Weavers, and the victors were responsible for the grandiosity and industry. The losers likely fled.

If you reached that point in Bilewater you've already encountered the bench on Sinner's road that eats your money and doesn't work until you pass a platforming challenge and maybe the bench in Hunter's March that has a trap that causes you 2 masks of damage every time you try to sit on it unless you move into the hidden room at the left and disable the trap. At that point the game has already primed you that benches in weird/hostile-ish areas can fuck you up. And the fact that the bench is slightly crooked should be an extra indication.
If anything when I saw it I was like "That's definitely a trap isn't it" and when the floor collapsed and Hornet gracefully and slowly descended to the maggot infested water without any platform in sight I was like "Yep".

Against Beastfly the adds are the biggest problem. Cogflies can deal with them and take a massive chunk off the boss, but you're best off thread storming the adds the moment they show up.
For the platforming challenge, you mean the one to get to Karmelita or the one to get to the flea? For both, you're better off farming the enemies for silk if you need to heal.

Oh yeah, the lava challenge.
If you're talking about that one, same deal. Pogo the other enemies to death for silk and thread storm the fire spitters. When the actual escape sequence starts just focus on platforming and ignore the enemies because if you're doing it right you'll be going to fast for them to hit you anyway, and if you're not doing it right you'll get caught by the lava anyway.

I mean the platforming challenge that get you a mask shard, you start at the bottom of a pit with lava and sinking platforms, a few enemies show up, and at the end the lava rises up and you need to climb fast.

I did both in another SS run but frankly, I lucked out. This will likely be the last thing I do in Act 2 before fighting Silk and Lace.

You can cheese the boss by leading it to the upper right area of the room to the left. I didn't, but I just had to keep dps and kill off the aspid summons as fast as I could. Only reason I beat it is because I broke the boss' poise right when it was doing the summon move and cancelled it.

GMS being treated like "smol bean uwu dindu nuffin" is solely, SOLELY due to the fact that her, and the entire fucking structure she represents, is female coded and thus can do no wrong.

It must be those dastardly MEN (that we never see) that pulled those strings.

Does not imply that Weavers were somehow breaking the script. Just that they took control from GMS.

There's a continuity in rule. GMS is always there. Even when asleep, she influences those around her.

Are you arguing she did not influence Weavers? She's their mother.

A poor parental figure. A poor parental authority. Easy to fall into a stupor. Does heinous massacres and crimes against her kingdom in her sleep.

She shows her nature in every interaction. A terrible ruler. One of the worst ever depicted in HK.

Boggles the mind how many people refuse to use clawline in combat. It refunds the silk cost when you hit enemies with it. This boss and First Sinner are both designed with clawline in mind.

Silksong is an pretty good game stuck behind the most asinine design philosophies I have ever seen. Imagine filling you game with mind number grinding quests for literally no reason outside of having zero respect for your players. Or just putting a 2 damage death saw right behind a door or at the bottom of a random drop for no other reason that to just epically troll players.

Wanderer's range is not small, the crest description is kinda misleading, it's actually a bit longer than the default Hunter crest.

If Wanderer + Longclaw is still too short for you though, then that's a skill issue you need to work on.

Its crazy man is they decided to cut a questline in which you help a written NPC to investigate the haunting, yet did not decide to cut the pilgrim cloak quest. It would not have been too much work to write a small narrative arc for each quest imo. Writing is a fuckload easier than drawing, yet the game is full of excellent, time-intensive art, and flat, artless writing. So many more sentences than HK, yet most of them have nothing to say.

By who? Genuinely curious because I avoid the shitty HK fanbase. Is it by them? They're fucking retards, who cares what they say.
By the game? I didn't get that impression, I only got the impression that they tried to give an otherwise flat antagonist some level of dimensionality by giving her something to care about (her fake daughter) outside of her evil actions. I don't think they ever really try to justify her actions in the same way the Pale King (and by extension the Hollow Knight) is essentially portrayed as a good man in a really bad situation.

GMS didn't create the Citadel, the Weavers did after they betrayed and imprisoned her because they didn't want to spend forever keeping her asleep. It is explicitly stated that the purpose of the Citadel is to keep GMS asleep and that the Weavers palmed it off on mortal bugs, and when it became clear that they weren't gonna be able to keep her asleep, either, they scattered like the vermin they are.

Nor was First Sinner imprisoned by GMS, she was imprisoned by the other Weavers because she threatened to reveal the lie of their divinity and upset the entire false order that kept GMS asleep.

Total Weaver death, GMS' only crime was thinking that spiders deserved a portion of her divinity.

GMS-Lace stuff is for sure the weakest.

The haunting itself is a very weak narrative/gameplay device. For all the talk about Women in Power and so on, there's very little agency to be found, anywhere in the game.

Once you get into mid game practically every drop has something that exists specifically to get free damage (typically two masks) on the player for daring to go too fast, tricks that often only work because the game has a shitty camera and abuses the fuck out of darkness to make navigation more annoying. There is no practical reason for these design choices, they're just in the game because Team Cherry are hacks that think random trolls make for good game design.

The first game is considerably shorter if you don't bother with the boss rush DLC, though Silksong is not that long either, one of the achievements requires beating the game 100% in under 30 hours, which is actually very generous as speedrunners can do it in 3 and a half hours without any glitches

The Conductors were the ones behind the dystopia. GMS was sealed away, the Weavers fled Pharloom, and the Conductors took over. They implemented the whole religious pligrimage thing, made the laws that got sinners sent to the Slab, and started the Whiteward silk experiments. First Sinner was one of the Weavers that stayed behind, alongside Widow. Her crime was literally questioning the legitmacy of the Citadel's deity figure.

GMS didn't care about "sinners" or religion. She wanted worshippers and servants, and the Weavers were forced into her servitude.

Blighttown has better design than Bilewater (outside of the whole performance issue thing). The toxic snipers are a dick move but they're pretty spaced out and there isn't any other massive source of damage that the area tries to jumpscare you with (plus they stay dead if you kill them). The checkpoints are also reasonably placed and generally hard to miss.
I also wouldn't really compare Blighttown to Valley of Defileshit, outside of an unavoidable poison status swamp the challenges of the two are fairly different. You're typically not in danger of dying via gravity in Valley and you're not typically forced to fight things while stuck in swamp goo in Blighttown.
Blighttown has plenty of alleviating things you can pick up or do (Rusted Iron Ring, poison cure items, just straight up skipping it via New Londo Ruins) where as Bilewater is always going to be an annoyance.

Oh yeah no it's absolutely a replay thing, just like the New Londo Ruins route (assuming you don't start with key). I still think it's a cool design element though given you can (assuming you know the ring exists and where to find it) grab the ring before even fighting Gargoyles to make your revisit to the swamp less annoying.

Everything about the main story, especially Lace, makes it obvious they never bothered expanding it beyond the initial plans as HK DLC. Even act 3 was probably planned ahead of time in terms of "fight these three or four bosses to get the power to grab the everbloom" even if the elegy of the deep mechanic was a later addition (for example, redressing Coral Gorge to be Karak, with the Gorge being in the past). In general the game is hard carried by all its side content and side characters.

It really wasn't. Maybe it's been too long since you've played PoP to remember, but playing HK and SS back to back PoP isn't really that hard. There's very little pressure so you basically get infinite retries with the right build (not that you need them), and it falls into the very common kaizo trap where it's really obvious what you need to do and where because there's literally no other option for advancing through a given section. It's almost entirely execution and that execution isn't that hard.
Granted, half of SS's difficulty comes from Hornet's default pogo attack actually being complete dogshit.

It doesn't funnel anyone. You need the dash just to get past the initial guard, unless you're really good, then you need the cloak to get through the chapel. A player would have to knowingly and intentionally beeline through Hunter's March once they get the cloak instead of going up to Greymoor and seeing what's up there and in Shellwood. If the game funnels anyone, it's to do Hunter's March after Widow because of how the wishes are structured, but because of how the wishes are structured it's still open enough to not stop a player from what they want to do.
Checking a player's ego is not bad game design.

OP here. I'm comparing them through their difficulty and not solely based on a single element alone. Path of Pain, as I've said before, a secret. Its difficulty is leaning heavily toward platforming puzzles with only a fight at the end. Bilewater in another hand, has only a mild platforming but environmental hazard and gauntlet with a boss. Most importantly, It required to get to the last Act and not hidden behind any wall

It has a girl mc and so, naturally, there are female villains. HK was about the Pale King and his sons, SS is about GMS and her daughter. Hornet isn't so personally involved with the main antagonist and other characters, so thats why the story falls flat compared to HK. I still prefer SS overall though.

For years everyone in this ""fandom"" told me the vessels are genderless and corrected me each time I referred to them as sons, or male.
But now those same people are justifying Silksong's female focus by saying it's normal for game 2 to be about mothers & daughters when game 1 was about fathers & sons.

I am not one of those people. I was thinking about the Knight and the Hollow Knight when I said it though. I guess some of those runts in the Abyss could've been daughters.
Anyone arguing that they are genderless and can't be anything else is pushing their own headcannon. If we don't know what their gender is, then anyone's assumption is as good as any other, and no one has any authority on the matter. I call the Knight the Pale King's son and if anyone takes issue with that, they will simply have to cope.

Vessel is for sure a guy.
Still, Silksong ultimately suffers for its focus on women (without the inclusion of men in their lives).

Hollow Knight at least had male/female relationships in the story, even if there were few in game. Pale King had numerous wives. GMS makes sterile, unwell children through some form of cellular division or something, who knows. Weavers also made unwell children without male influences.

Showing us these bad examples of procreation almost necessitates writing healthy relationships to offset this, yet this moment never comes.

We see tribes, but we never see lovers.

The mother-child relationships we do see are all twisted and ultimately evil.

There's zero male influence in families. No paternal authority whatsoever.

Lace needed paternal authority. GMS needed a counterpart (male) to offset her insane foid brain subconscious. These are all obvious things, that directly stick out to the player: the setting is imbalanced and wrong. Pharloom teeters on the edge.

Hallownest was attacked from without and was already dead when we saw it, but there were plenty of relationships in it that made sense and produced viable offspring.

Hornet herself is potent precisely because she had a father. Lace fails precisely because she didn't.

These are all archetypical masculine traits that apply to the Hollow Knight, and to the Ghost as well if you discount the part about physical size. If you described a person with these traits, 99.9% of people would assume it's a male. If a woman had these traits, she'd 100% be called a masculine woman.
When you add the fact neither of the two Knights have any archetypical feminine traits, it's clear they are absolutely male coded. Even though technically as Void entities they're not male or female the way normal bugs are.

How do you figure? The lack of male role models in Silksong is unquestionably true.

Hornet has a father and several mothers. She derives from her in more ways than one, as the story itself makes clear.

Male figures being present also helps to moderate women (and vice versa).
Its also true that women in Silksong use magicks to conjure children from thin air, but in this process something gets lost, and the children are twisted and wrong.'

Societies with potent males in silksong bear healthy children. The ants and craw peoples primarily, but also fleas.

Still, there's the issue of fathers. Silksong doesn't really portray fathers much at all, beyond some far away patriarchs. The union between men and women is wholly absent from portrayal.

Not even a tame Iselda+Connifer style pairing.

Coral Tower was gay because it makes you go though 2 easy time wasting gauntlets just to attempt to the third, which is only 'hard' because of coral suddenly appearing in weird locations. It's a 'gotcha' moment until you've seen it, but then fuck you, you gotta replay the two easy (but borning and lengthy) gauntlets before you can get another attempt. It's especially bullshit when the whole floor gets covered in coral. That shit tripped me up when I first saw it, but you can just clawline and pogo the axx thrower to easily rape his ass. I just wasn't used to actually fighting while clinging to the wall with no ground to stand on, so they 'got me'. But it felt like a dickish move rather than a real challenge. The boss Krusty Kang or whatever the boss is called wasn't only mildly challenging, and the fourth 'gauntlet' was easy. Overall, so far, the game has nothing that's even in the a same universe as Hollow Knight DLC difficulty.

It's called a zero suit section because Zero Mission did it first, it's pretty common. E.g. I just finished F.I.S.T. and there's a section where you go to jail and need to sneak around with none of your usual equipment, you get a gun with very limited ammo halfway through though.

Bilewater was fun. It's no path of pain. That was super meat boy and I wanna be the gay levels of bullshit. There's a long run back, but once you know where all the traps and enemies are from having experienced a few times, it's easy. Those pirannhas will wreck your shit the first itme you see them though, and the little jiggaboos hopping out with their blowguns and traps set all over the place. It didn't really take me that long though. The climb to Coral Tower took longer. Mount Fey took longer. The lava escape after coming back from the 'abyss' the first time took longer. Flea motherfucking juggle took way longer. And yeah, Groal is a joke of a boss. Boomerangs melt him in 10 seconds.

Well, I sure am glad I did all of PoP in order to see a fucking glimpse of Pale King hanging out with a young HK for like 3 second. Unless Team Cherry hide something past the unexpected teleport back to the start in which case they're faggots.
That aside while nothing in SS is as hard as PoP, PoP is a hidden and optional challenge that throws recharge stations at you outside of one room that's just a complete bastard with no recharge for no real reason and is right after another annoying room. so it's not really a fair comparison. I'm sure Team Cherry will patch in something just as obnoxious whenever they shit out their DLC.
God I forgot how much I hated the physics in HK. I swear you drop like a fucking rock and you'll regularly just clip shit that grazed your feet trying to double jump out of a fall.

They fit the atmosphere much better. HK is set in the ruins of a once bustling metropolis, so the lonesome benches fit that feeling. SS is set on a religious pilgrimage route up to a robot city, the benches are just kind of there because they were already an established trope in HK.

Yeah honestly I'm not that interested in doing anything else in HK, I mostly just wanted perspective on how tough PoP so I didn't look like a complete jackass for mixing it up with WP.
I don't actually like HK that much, I was pretty finished after beating Radiance and didn't really feel much need to finish the DLC content after that. I probably won't 100% SS either, it's a much better feeling game but god did they ramp up the tedium to 11. HK's gameplay did not need mmo style grind quests.

Fay has the highest damage per shot, Forge has the highest damage per full capacity (but this also requires more silk usage), 12th is a 3-shot spread.
imo Fay is the best, Forge theoretically has a higher damage potential but all that silk is better off just using a silk skill or saving for a bind (even on Architect). 12th is the worst, terrible damage even if all three shots hit the same target.

Well I'm saying the holocaust narrative has changed a LOT over time as things have been slowly debunked. For example, the modern claim is that most people were shot, rather than being killed in gas chambers. Since one by one the gas chambers have been debunked.
Also they claim this was an action taken by german command, as there's literally zero evidence hitler ordered it, or even knew about it.

I mean it's all beside the point considering the whole thing is war propaganda. The only supposed death camps were in soviet territory where inspections were banned. All the camps ok the western side were inspected and found to have no genocide facilities or anything of that nature.
