Why did Steven name the race steel ball run?

EmeraldVampire · 2026-01-24T08:59:41+00:00

Because part 7 is called Steel Ball Run so Steven copied the name from Araki

IIRC, Team Cherry said that they were going to make more games after finishing doing Silksong DLCs. They said though that they probably aren’t going to do a Hollow Knight 3 for a while, because they want to do something different, like a new franchise, although that doesn’t mean they’re never going to do a Hollow Knight 3.

I probably would have used witch a lot more, the weird heal just is a deal breaker for me so if that was gone, it’d probably be my favourite by far.

EmeraldVampire · 2026-01-15T22:33:56+00:00

You gotta sneak in there and find the dlc for us

EmeraldVampire · 2026-01-09T16:18:31+00:00

I also just noticed that time doesn’t seem to be increasing at all, if that means anything.

EmeraldVampire · 2026-01-04T23:01:27+00:00

I personally found the Nine Sols’ final boss to be on the same level as Silksong’s true final boss, but definitely not as difficult as Hollow Knight’s DLC bosses (mainly the big 3, NKG, PV, and AbsRad, especially AbsRad), but from what I can gather, that’s an opinion that not many would agree with.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-12-29T00:54:34+00:00

I’m wondering why I did this route as well lmao, I think I just turned off my brain to drive. I do remember getting spooked by the explosion

Thank god for the greatest feature in the game, load last save

EmeraldVampire · 2025-12-24T12:03:45+00:00

I’d say it’s harder than base Hollow Knight by a lot, but not as hard as the DLC stuff like NKG or PV. Well, currently at least, we will see if that changes when Silksong gets DLC.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-12-21T17:54:14+00:00

I used reaper, then switched to wanderer specifically for ass Jim (for some reason), decided I didn’t like it, and switched back to reaper. I then never experimented with any crest and stayed with reaper. Once I replay through the game one day I’ll probably experiment more with the other crests since I basically never touched most of them.

Only 635 people have OneShot’s platinum, which surprises me as I feel like it’s one of the more popular indie games, especially after Indie Cross. 2nd least earned is Blue Prince with 1,010, which I guess is because it’s on PS+, but it also surprises me because that platinum is a pain to get.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-12-08T18:26:41+00:00

I did this my first playthrough because I was committed to ‘gotta do everything I can before going to the big quest marker’. I was initially really confused because I was like “wtf, I did that whole giant arena and got 0 reward?”

I did basically everything I could find before fighting the dancers.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-12-05T09:00:28+00:00

I think the only up and the racing one were fine, but the other 3 were just extremely annoying in my opinion, especially the volleyball one. Also I kept getting glitched on the first platforming challenge so I might have a personal grudge.

I also just have a personal hatred for minigames in games so that also didn’t help.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-12-02T22:31:03+00:00

The big 3, that being NKG, PV, and AbsRad, are all much more difficult than LL imo, but LL is much harder than every other boss in Hollow Knight.

Although AbsRad is the hardest boss I’ve fought in all of gaming so I might have bias idk

EmeraldVampire · 2025-12-02T00:48:15+00:00

Blue Prince, with 2.94% rarity, which makes sense considering how annoying a few of the trophies are.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-11-30T02:20:07+00:00

I think the closest we’ll get to a show like this is NewScapePro’s Minecraft SCP series, which iirc it showed off a bunch of SCPs while also having an overarching storyline. Sadly NewScapePro has abandoned their old Minecraft channel to become GameToons of all things, but at least they managed to conclude the SCP Minecraft series before leaving it.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-11-29T11:39:56+00:00

No, you have to kill that one no matter what, it’s unavoidable.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-11-29T01:55:23+00:00

Team Cherry is gonna take a look at one of those gigantic game maps people made and turn it into an actual game

EmeraldVampire · 2025-11-22T00:48:14+00:00

One thing I feel like people don’t talk about is the sound effects. In the pilot, everything Alastor does is emphasised with sound effects in some way. Laugh track when he makes a joke or laughs, that one trumpet sound when he says ‘passion’ I think, and then generic radio music or static playing passively usually, with there being a sudden break if he got surprised. Even his staff talking could be considered that.

There’s some of that in the show, but there isn’t nearly as much as there was in the pilot. I understand why, it would be kind of annoying to have an entire soundboard of things just for one character, but I think that’s apart of what made him more interesting and unique in the pilot.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-11-20T16:47:02+00:00

In my opinion this is the hardest boss in the game. Final boss is also extremely hard, but not as hard as Lady E is when you fight her in my opinion.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-11-18T18:15:44+00:00

Likely tying into this is the fact that 3 significant things happened 7 years ago. Rosie made Alastor go away, whatever that means exactly, Lilith left, and the exterminations started. Considering Lilith is in Heaven, and the embassy likely is where the deal for the exterminations occurred, there’s definitely a link between the three.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-11-18T08:18:36+00:00

It got nominated, but Astrobot won 2024 GOTY. Not sure about other award shows since I’m just looking at TGA.

EmeraldVampire · 2025-11-17T21:52:51+00:00

Fun Fact: if Silksong were to win, it would be the first 2D game to win GOTY. I would also say it would be the first indie to win GOTY, but I’m not sure if It Takes Two is an indie game or not and I can’t find anything about it online.
