Officially 100% Silksong - what a spectacular game. I think I give it 9/10 due to some rough balancing, and the ending not feeling as grand/satisfying as the original, but that doesn't detract from it being an absolute joy to play. Sheerly stunning in scale, and packed with constant surprise.

My name is in here! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/
Pretty small because I only got two fixes into #Godot 4.5, but the big feature I'm working on should be in 4.6 Development in a few weeks! Proud to be working hard alongside so many other cool names.

I too have reached this point, and share the sentiment
It's impossible for me to describe the things I'm doing or even the section I'm on in Silksong without spoilers, but my goodness, what a game

Silksong might not get funnier than my friend being in disbelief as I discover not one, but TWO whole new zones hidden behind breakable walls in areas he’d already traversed

Friend and I chatting on discord as play Silksong (WHAT A GOOD GAME) and I mishear something he says as “Spin Jump”. Now all our conversation centers around the mythical spin jump power up. If only I could find it.

Finally played the perfect game of battlegrounds duos. Buddy and I queued up, knocked this one out, called it for the night.

I was ready to write off Rick&Morty season 8 as disappointing, but those final 3 episodes were really strong. The finale especially, the show at it's best

Finished a week or so ago, but Deltarune is an extremely good video game! Incredibly paced story, no idea how it'll be topped after this. All the secret bosses really good too, beat CH2 secret in only 3 tries, but CH4 secret easily my favorite.

CALDORAN has been defeated, bringing me to 8/8 Scarlet Enclave in #ClassicWoW. Probably my favorite fight in there, it's an AWESOME ride. Also had 29 people, and barely killed under each timer, have no idea how groups of 20 do it LMAO

Lillian Voss DOWNED, bringing me to 7/8 Scarlet Enclave, and 4/8 TierScarlet. Spent a bunch of time on Caldoran, that is a FUN fight. I think he'll be defeated this week, and if I play my reserves right, I should be able to get my Tier finished. #ClassicWoW

Saw Thunderbolts* and Sinners in theatres this weekend! Both extremely good films, and interestingly, both knew how to use their post-credit scenes as a rewarding P.S.

I hope I didn't mess up my pawn-encoding here on Row 796(?) but I'm sure someone else will tamper with it soon enough.

Guild team got to 5/8 Scarlet Enclave in #ClassicWoW last night! And I got to 3/8 on my Tier-Scarlet(?) set! Solistrasza and Mason are super fun, Mason still maybe a scooch overtuned. Beastlord was pretty boring, only took 2 pulls total.
