Love the art!

But boy howdy is that design CLEAN! I love it.

Absolutely correct. You are.

diagonal (starting) jump.

I think part of what's causing the feeling of extreme hardness is the ant area being accessible so early - the game does tell you this area is real hard, but people have a hard time thinking they should try something else. It's a learning curve for sure.

I think I've found Silksong (SS) harder overall (I'm only 10 hours in,) but Hollow Knight was not an easy game (it took me 3 tries to finish.) I haven't clicked with SS's healing yet, and the frequency of the 2 health hits mixes weirdly with healing 3 masks. The platforming is harder with the

I don't think you're wrong. For me its harder to swallow because many of the companies keep recording record profits year after year. If they keep making massive profits without the price increase why need the price increase? Nintendo's approach of more varied pricing looks ok to me, could be good

Yeah its bizarre. It feels to me like we're getting to a point that any analysis of media is treated negatively. As someone else said, you can't win.

Oh, that's /him/. I just ignored the follow, but thanks for the heads up to block him!
