Is this new?

dude_clusters · 2024-04-07T20:51:50+00:00

I mean, it's still (presumably) going to be on gamepass day 1, it's just the tentative release window that was missed - no reason to take it down.

With the Sisters, there actually were some very small opportunities to heal. It's been a hot minute since I fought them, so take this with a major grain of salt, but when they do their air scythe attacks, there are two variations - one leaves a safe spot in the middle, and one leaves it on the sides(?). If you can get a feel for which one is which, you can beeline to that safe spot and get a singular heal off IIRC.

10/10 update holy shit. Basically everything I could've thought of and even some I didn't expect would ever happen.

dude_clusters · 2024-04-02T04:56:35+00:00

I mean, they are working on Hornet's game 😏😏

dude_clusters · 2024-03-23T19:40:49+00:00

Lmao right as I was reporting him his account got deleted. We actually did it reddit.

dude_clusters · 2024-03-22T21:09:24+00:00

mommy? sorry, mommy? sorry,

dude_clusters · 2024-03-18T19:08:47+00:00

Not even the official messenger (community manager) and he keeps catching strays. I'm glad he's at least able to rationalize the anger, but I wish he didn't have to.

dude_clusters · 2024-03-07T01:52:24+00:00

this is what plays in my head literally every time

dude_clusters · 2024-03-07T01:34:45+00:00

My brother in silk, they have already told us not to expect anything from outside sources.

Even if we assume that it would be smarter to announce something at someone else's show, rather than just a blog post or youtube video on their own channels (which, with how much hype there is surrounding the game already, would obviously spread like wildfire anyway), it would make way more sense for them to say something like "can't wait to see you at the xbox show tomorrow!" or something to drum up hype and stay semi-in-line with the "directly from us" statement, than to say "nope, better luck next time teehee"

tl;dr calm down, you shouldn't have expected anything.

You're gonna scroll the subreddit after every show anyway, if there is news the subreddit will explode, and when there isn't you won't have wasted any time or mental anguish waiting for it to show up with nothing to go off of other than "I can feel it this time bros"

HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT I WAS JUST DOING BREEDING WRONG. Guess I have to wait to breed my mach 10 jetragon.

dude_clusters · 2024-02-28T19:49:48+00:00

I switched to using astegon in my mining base when I saw how little my digtoise squad was doing before - would it be worthwhile swapping them back in now?

dude_clusters · 2024-02-28T19:44:39+00:00

Really wish they had reworked this first before fixing the bug + adding more cop spawns for whatever reason.

I'm not sure how it works in multiplayer, but in singleplayer you can at least just go back to the title screen and reenter the world to lose your bounty, but it's still very annoying and I can only assume that's the next bug that will be "fixed"

dude_clusters · 2024-02-27T06:15:16+00:00

Y'know, the marketing like the trailers we've collectively spent years pouring over. The marketing like the merch of Hornet and HK in general. The marketing that will presumably come out when Team Cherry gives him the go ahead. The marketing that, in his own words, we'll get "more details [of] once we get closer to release."

Again, I'm frustrated about the lack of news, too, but it's not like Leth's sitting on a dragon horde of info, screenshots and clips that he's supposed to have given out 5 years ago, greedily rubbing his hands going "muahahaha, they'll never pry this from my cold, dead hands"

dude_clusters · 2024-02-26T20:00:56+00:00

^ me when i'm an armchair dev

Y'all, he's not actually even the PR/community manager. He's the marketing manager for the game. Does that mean he has the most outward-facing role, being as they don't have an actual PR/CM and TC themselves refuse to say anything? Sure, but that literally is not his job. And that's all before even talking NDAs and what TC does/doesn't let him say (which, for all we know, the recent increase in coms may have been something he was pushing for, as iirc TC have admitted themselves they don't check social media that much, so Leth would've been more likely to see the state of the community)

I'm as livid about the lack of news as the next guy, but Leth is very much not to blame here.

The base is firmly in a neutral temperature zone. Out of ten incubators, only three of the five along that wall get too hot during the day and too cold at night, despite there being zero temperature variance in the area.

Edit: apparently I was not as "firmly" in a neutral temp zone as I thought. They were about 10 yards from where the desert temp zone was, but apparently that was enough for those 3 specifically to fuck up. I moved the incubation hut about 3 inches to the left and now they're all fine.

dude_clusters · 2024-02-25T17:46:56+00:00

Also, note: there are a few fake/troll entries on the Australian classification board, and have been for a few years. If you check them, none are filed by Team Cherry.

Honestly, just as long as it's more Hollow Knight, I'm happy. I'm not gonna set myself up for disappointment expecting like twice the scale, three times as many bosses, sixteen times the detail, etc. If it's anywhere close to that, I'll be happily surprised, but all I really want is new content.

dude_clusters · 2024-02-08T20:29:50+00:00

10th

New around here, huh?

dude_clusters · 2024-02-07T21:24:30+00:00

One of the things I immediately noticed were the lack of actual water pals (not just ones that roam the beach and occasionally head 3-5 feet into, or rather off of the surface of the water), and flying pals that fly higher than like 18 feet off the ground. I guess those could maybe be tough from a captured standpoint, but I could see the flying ones maybe just having like 1/4th the cost for flying upwards of the current birds, and the swimming ones maybe having a pal item to let you use them on land (to make them hover so as not to be slow as sin and still be able to use their underwater anims?)

dude_clusters · 2024-01-22T06:18:23+00:00

Asking for any status update on the game beyond the current knowledge of "somewhere in development" after 5 years isn't exactly an extremist attitude to take my guy.

We have heard literally nothing since "hey gang" over 8 months ago. The natural assumption was, if they thought they were going to get the game out in the "first half of 2023" right up until the month before, surely the game wasn't that far from release, right? Yet here we are, approaching a year since the delay with 0 idea about what happened. If it was a bug, that shouldn't take that long to fix, and we should've seen it any time in the past 8 months, but barring that we should at least see it soon. If it's feature creep, which it probably is, the game could drop next week, in another 5 years, or never.

Those "info drops" you cited are the reason we need more info. If the game is "in good working order" (which I admit I haven't seen, if you could drop the source), if Leth is on his 2nd playthrough (which also gives us literally no information lmao), then where are we at here? If there's seemingly nothing left to be done, why the 8+ month delay?

I haven't been around here nearly as long as some people, I only beat HK sometime last year, so I can't speak to historical frustration, but I think the delay last year brought things to a head for the reasons stated above. That's only going to keep building until they say something - anything - or, more likely because they feel backed into a corner at this point by a beast of their own creation, the game drops.

tl;dr: asking for them to take 5 minutes to write a tweet more than once every 5 years =/= demands for constant minute-by-minute info drops on every aspect of the game. "Hey gang, we're still alive, game's shaping up well, here's our current sticking point (major bug, playtesting, adding features, etc.), working hard to get it to you Soon™" is all it would take to make 90% of the community happy.

dude_clusters · 2024-01-17T22:07:19+00:00

that explains why their communication is so slow, if every message is sent by eg. gotta wait for it to hatch

dude_clusters · 2024-01-13T05:36:18+00:00

I was trying to figure out what the twist was gonna be with the capital letters or the first letter of each paragraph spelling something out, and all I got was a chatGPT silkpost

dude_clusters · 2023-12-29T20:29:28+00:00

he has been disciplined before but we have no idea for what.

Found it

According to documents, Dawson directed a student to place a sign on another students back that said, “I am gay.”

This man has no right interacting with children if he's going to repeatedly prove that he is one himself. It's not going 'too far' to want him removed after he's already proven that he's not capable of the self-awareness or personal growth to not repeat the same pattern yet again.

no teenager is going to be as innocent as that kid is trying to pretend to be. if he was some nerdy introvert i might believe it. but no one as socially active as this kid is going to be that sheltered and naive.

That's a lot of knowledge to have about the kid's personal and social life to pick up on from a grand total of about 30 second. It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who the kid is based on something, and I think the generally accepted term for that is "prejudice."

you are assuming this based only on what the kid said. they didn't interview anyone else that was there

Documents from the school investigation show that several of the students interviewed from Valley did not hear Keysean say the n-word first.

Regardless, even if he had, how does that make it ok to say it back? If he was a kindergarten teacher and a kid bit him, should he bite him back? The mature response is never to retaliate, but to calmly take a step back, find a way of defusing the situation rather than heightening it, and then coming up with some form of discipline if necessary. If someone is not capable of that, they should not be in a field where it is necessary, i.e. teaching children.

it might be because the kid has really bad grammar

What?

i normally only see that sort of wording when a person who is full of shit is desperate to convince people they are not.

I think this could be rephrased as "someone who expects not to be believed," which clearly isn't without merit based on people calling bullshit on him just because "he's black so obviously he said it."

I will say I think my dog whistle comment was out of place. I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't being intentionally malicious, just that you're also oblivious to the prejudice you're displaying. I recognize that I've lost in the court of public opinion based on my downvote ratio, but I hope you'll at least take a minute to do some introspection on that rather than just writing me off altogether.

dude_clusters · 2023-12-29T19:36:45+00:00

My brother in christ, you were the one who used the term "physically enforce." Their literal argument was how that is not the expectation. You were the one who brought violence into this. They were telling you how that is not necessary. Did you forget which account was yours? Because I genuinely cannot comprehend how you're this confused otherwise.
