Ah, this is going to be amazing.

Mainstream books and movies don’t gate your ability to enjoy them based on how good you are at engaging with them on their own terms, just like mainstream video games don’t,

A bunch of gacha games will want a word if you try to play not on their terms (i.e. F2P).


Seriously, though, I like that more game developers are making an effort to accommodate people these days - as opposed to nothing at all.

I'm still catching up, but the Dung Defender was a hoot. And I have this to say about parrying:

When the knight swings his nail
hits another's, without fail,
that's-a parry!

Ah, Nosk. I have complaints about Nosk (mostly because you have to be locked in to collect your shade) and because the boss fight is hard as balls. I got to him earlier than Nat did, but even so.

Also, if we're heading back to the Royal Waterways, then I hope we can get to see Nat fight the White Defender. :allears:

That's apparently the character's official name, or at least how Team Cherry describes 'em.

I had no idea. That actually brings to mind a low percentage playthrough that involved farming the same room for 40 hours in order to get enough essence to get the awakened dreamnail. I wonder if he could have gotten a faster return by occasionally dreamgating (or does the buff wear off after you get one essence)?

The drop rate depends on how much Essence you've gotten as a random drop vs. how much you've spent on dreamgates. The boosted drop rate only occurs if the dreamgate spend number is bigger than the random drop number.

Also, when you die in the white palace, you die for real. Every other dream just teleports you back outside.

The Radiance did... something? to piss off the Pale King, presumably borne out of anger/jealousy at losing worshippers, so the Pale King decided to seal away the Radiance.

That would be forcibly infecting everybody, I think.

It's also noticeable because for the other boss to get a big title card, after the first time it skips straight to the fight

I'm catching up on the videos I didn't get to see yet, and I just finished the video 'Junk Pit'.

No the map only calls out the real grubs, and they only use that fakeout trick like twice? Nat's already seen it.

There are a total of 4 Grub Mimics in the game, not counting the one in the Colosseum. 3 of those are in Deepnest, because of course.

I have an abiding love of the White Defender fight, just because, like... in the power of his moves, and the grandeur of the music, you see just a glimpse— just a tiny, reflected glimpse— of what Hallownest must have been like at the height of its glory.

It's beautiful, and kind of haunting, too.

Carefree Melody is kind of a silly charm, I never used it myself since it seemed a bit expensive for its effect. I was watching someone streaming do the Radiant bosses in Godhome, which are OHKO fights, and he had Carefree Melody on which I thought, uh, kinda defeated the purpose of the challenge, cause then it's up to RNG whether you win or lose the fight. But, to each their own.

Apparently the big secret is that the chance doesn't reset when you die, only when you get hit. And when it does reset, it resets to 0%, so the next hit will hit.

Basically, there's a chance of getting one extra hit in a fight. Which is big in a mode where every hit kills you.

My biggest problem with NKG is that his splash screen desensitizes you to the effect of splash screens in Hollow Knight. When you fight him over and over, THE RADIANCE had much less impact.

He was preparing you without looking like it. What a wily fellow!

Welp, now we're getting into the realm of what could have been.

Imagine if our Knight had been the Vessel instead of that one. Imagine if the seal had held.

Imagine if the Pale King had known that you could fight the Radiance within a dream.

I have a theory about who Mister Mushroom is talking to.

Doesn't Hornet use tools as a part of her battle strategy in Silksong?

Does she even know she's having the conversation?
