Ah nice. If you care about achievements/trophies, you can get the normal ending, then load back in to fight the final boss again for the ending that gets you to Act 3. Best of luck with Act 3, that’s what finally broke me (literally, I injured my thumb on a super long multi-room, gauntlet 😭).

Yeah, I think a lot of the social commentary was over my head and I went in expecting a very different movie than what I got. Will have to check it out again!

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 2d

Whoa, really? I haven’t seen it since I was a teen and didn’t think it was very good. I think I was expecting it to be scarier maybe?

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 2d

Just curious, do you know about the various endings already?

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 2d

Tried it so many times before I realized you could clear out all the enemies and they’d stay gone if you just skipped resting at a bench. Got it on my first try after that.

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 2d

I predict that you’ll be saying that a lot.

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 3d

Took me waaaay too long to figure that out.

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 5d

Oh snap, I was there too! Awesome show. I was the guy in jeans and a black t-shirt, not sure if you saw me.

How was the DLC? I thoroughly enjoyed the base game, both as a Star Wars fan and an open world game fan.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Criiiiiipes, the back-to-back-to-back gauntlet rooms getting to the Heart of Might boss in Silksong’s Act 3 are absolutely brutal. They make the High Halls gauntlet look like a picnic. This might be the thing that finally ends it for me…

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 15d

It’s nuts how big this game is. I’m in the “secret” act and over 100 hours… but don’t think I can go on. 😢

Damn girl, congrats on getting yourself a fine one (and congrats to him for the same obvs)!

One Battle After Another and Sinners both lay out a formula for cinema success: diverse movies where white nationalists get duffed in the most graphic way possible shot and presented in increasingly baroque high resolution formats.

Go left from the platform and there’s a shortcut and you can pogo over him. (Still a pain but this way you can get to LJ with full health every time) youtu.be/5bdRRsvNLwQ

The first big dude? You can skip him.

I’m dealing with multi-stage arena battles just to fight bosses now and I think it might be the thing that finally breaks me.

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 18d

I will say that Clawline + Cloak glide makes stuff that you used to have to pogo almost trivial. Hitting a pogo object with Clawline will launch you up and then you can glide forward until you’re lined up for next Clawline.

This is a really excellent article by @papapishu.bsky.social, both about Silksong as a game and about the nature of how players endure and embrace punishment (though I consider myself a “game sicko” because I’m a “game pervert” who is also driven by getting achievements in punishing games).

Chris Person @papapishu.bsky.social · 21d

I love Silksong a lot. But it's full of stuff that bugs me. I wrote about punishing games, the nature of being a "game pervert" and how personal friction can be for @aftermath.site aftermath.site/silksong-pro...

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a generational platformer and a labor of love. But it's full of tiny things that rub me the wrong way personally.

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 19d

I’m one tool away from the achievement for finding all of them and this boss is driving me crazy. My kingdom for my old Architect crest!

Will Tuttle @willtuttle.bsky.social · 19d

Noooooooo! I can’t believe they did this on the day I started Act 3. I was wondering why it felt like I was doing so little damage, figured maybe it was just more health for the enemies. I feel betrayed!
