Only AAAAA? I was expecting it to be AAAAAA or AAAAAAA at the very least. Maybe even AAAAAAA+, I tell you. Such a letdown.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

In case you are also sick of seeing those horrible auto-translated titles and descriptions in YouTube (an even channel names, ffs!), here is an extension that makes it go away. github.com/YouG-o/YouTu...
GitHub - YouG-o/YouTube_No_Translation: Web browser add-on that prevents YouTube's automatic translations! It keeps titles, descriptions, and audio in their original language.
