Severely underdiscussed about Silksong is what it has to say about religion, faith, and heroism. It's easy to stick with the strong critiques on the surface, but there's so much more it has to say, and @jacobgeller.com does an amazing job here.

Got a "top 10 things of 2025" list laid out for the yearly second channel video but it's still November, guess I gotta hold on to see if anything surprises me last minute like the TF2 comic last year

"You two can be the family you were always meant to be, free from the sins of generations past, if you let me do what needs doing."

Scarlet Hollow Episode 5 releases in February, on Friday the Thirteenth.

A huge shout out to our friends at @smallbu.bsky.social for animating this trailer!

Okay but really it feels like this has been on the rise lately. People get stuck on a part of a game in a way that often shows they aren't engaging with its core premise, and instead of going "I don't like this" they go on reddit and call it badly designed
The phrase "badly designed" is the new "mid" for gamers

In this episode of Storycraft, I had the privilege of chatting with @abbyhoward.bsky.social and @blacktabbygames.com about writing Scarlet Hollow’s dynamic cast of characters and creating the game’s nuanced relationship system.

COGWORK DANCERS ARE THIS X1000 AND ALSO DOOMED ROBOT BUG YAOI
Beat the Last Judge, and it hit me that many of the bosses in this game have the same design philosophy as the Mantis Lords

Introduce a simple moveset > throw in a twist or evolve the moves but keep the basic template. Now you're trained in the basics and get in the zone all like:

There's nothing like the feeling of playing a Souls or Souls-adjacent game for the first time and getting way too deep into enemy territory with a pocketful of souls/etc, nervously engaging every enemy while thinking "my kingdom for a FUCKING checkpoint"

I'm kinda shit at video games but I'm not really connecting with this Silksong difficulty discourse, I'm finding it to be spicy but not overwhelming

On the other hand I spent the last two weeks getting to high iron in SF6 so uh, heh, you could say I've come to know my way around a controller

Silksong feels like the Bloodborne to Hollow Knight's Dark Souls, which is weird cause I was one of the few not totally in love with BB making everything more aggressive, but here I absolutely love it
