I think the common denominator for being haunted/not in Silksong is passion. All non-haunted NPCs have some craft, faith, culture, or friend outside of the religion. These ties help them resist the power of silk.

Got legs for my desk that puts it at 60cm high. The experiance is night and day. My hands can actually rest on my keyboard now. Shoulder ache is gone. The standard being 70cm is criminal.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far

From now on, when discussing the budget, please use “is this measure bigger than the cost to the exchequer of gen Z drinking less” as your metric for assessing whether something actually raises or costs a significant sum

I find insane that shabana mahmood is going out there and saying "white british people cannot be asked to accept too many of us outsiders, it is not in their nature, and their pushback against all of us is to be placated". What???
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood made more explicit her argument that when ethnic minorities face racism, "we have no choice but to ask: what is the cause of our division"
Her answer is the level of net migration, 2019-23 causes racism. (She on Monday said it was caused by the scale of asylum)

You're not asking trans people. You're asking all people. This affects us all. Anyone could be barred from services based on appearance. Since, surprisingly we all have a fecking appearance

The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.
This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

A side point but so much of British politics is just about advert representation really. Maybe England for the English does really just mean putting more white families in ads for debt collection or gambling sites
Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, “It drives me mad seeing adverts full of black people, full of Asian people, full of anything other than white". She goes on to say there are now more or less no white people represented on British television anymore.

i noticed that this is matched in each game’s respective bench idle animations (hear me out). the knight quickly falls asleep on the bench in hk. whereas hornet catches herself and quickly checks over her shoulder. even saving is stressful in silksong!
can't believe I'm saying this but......Hollow Knight actually, genuinely is a chill game compared to Silksong, people weren't lying
sure I'll eat my words some time around the Watcher Knights but for now this is - how you say - fun? I'm having fun? playing Hollow Knight?

it is possible that I have maybe, possibly decided to potentially start Hollow Knight again from the start
