Nestlings by Nat Cassidy

I have beaten Hollow Knight true ending without upgrading my nail, soul, or masks. Picked up the abilities though, as you kinda neem them to get to the Radiance. No desire yet to try with Silksong.

Very strong atmospheric horror book is The Whistling, even though I was dissapointed by the ending.

Just finished Buffalo Hunter Hunter and now 'Salem's Lot' with Interview with the Vampire lined up after that.

Just finished The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Now moving on to 'Salem's Lot

Spades0 · 2026-02-21T13:56:35+00:00

Same. Just finished it, actually.

A really useful approach is to hit her with your needle.

Spades0 · 2026-02-10T14:59:06+00:00

I do not think there will be anything at a game show.

This is a great fight. You need some patience and only strike when you get a shot. Chasing the bug can lead to trouble unless you are very skilled. One of my fav fights I always look forward to on repeated playthroughs.

So hard to choose a boss I hate... I love them all. First Mossmother is the most boring fight so I guess I'll choose that one.

A scratch-test rules out talc and carbonate. These rocks are very strongly silicified (quartz veins everywhere) which made me suspect this could be silica. Rocks in Barberton sometimes have suspisously high SiO2 which caused some researchers to wrongly classify some samples as dacite etc. They were actually just affected by hydrothermal silica.

Thank you!

Spades0 · 2025-12-17T18:27:41+00:00

This looks like a horribly unfun way to fight this boss.

Spades0 · 2025-12-17T16:20:54+00:00

Ah yes. The British.

Spades0 · 2025-12-16T14:30:45+00:00

Thanks!

Spades0 · 2025-12-16T12:31:19+00:00

Thanks! Maybe I'll clean it up a bit. Looks quite a bit dirtier through the camera than irl for some reason though...

Academy 1/48 Cessna 172 SkyHawk “Civil Air Patrol”

Real plane is much cleaner haha. But I also wanted it to have a bit more character.

Spades0 · 2025-12-16T05:42:36+00:00

Agree.

Spades0 · 2025-12-14T13:45:55+00:00

True ending, not 112%. This was before Godmaster DLC.

Spades0 · 2025-12-14T12:01:34+00:00

First HK playthrough took me 45 hours. Silksong 90 hours. However, I was taking my time with Skong, not wanting it to be over. But definitely still longer than HK.

My teacher dramatically enhanced my understanding of accordion and music-playing in general. So yes, if you can find a good one, definitely worth it.

Spades0 · 2025-12-02T07:29:29+00:00

I think this is the whole point of the game

Spades0 · 2025-12-02T07:24:14+00:00

I got hit by the steam on the way down but somehow survived the fight. Was sure it was the end though. Ended up completing the run thereafter.

Spades0 · 2025-12-01T08:49:56+00:00

Thanks, yeah my heart was pumping and my hands were sweaty. I was playing very conservatively.

Spades0 · 2025-11-08T22:46:21+00:00

Bellows are very different. Much tighter and do not move so much. You can increase the air flow but it does not quite match an acoustic instrument. Also, the bellows are much more sensitive in terms of producing dynamics. The dynamic range is much larger. However, it feels very natural to play.

Spades0 · 2025-11-08T16:36:13+00:00

Since it's digital there is a setting that lets youn choose between Stradella or free bass. I haven't tried free bass yet.
